Q: VBA Code to search column for next non empty cell, move up 1 cell & paste something into it.. do until it done I'm new to VBA and need code to find the next non-empty cell in column B (until there are no more rows with data), copy header B5:Last non-empty cell into the row above where it found the non-empty cell(right now it's B5:P5, but it will change each time there is a new month. Each of these headers is used for pivot tables.
Basically, this is a download from accounting software and it isn't formatted correctly with headers, so I have to add them manually. Each of the sections in the worksheet is different sizes and will continue to change in size when the year progresses and additional accounting codes are used.
I do not have any code at this time.
Example of Header Row in Row 5
MainAccount DEPT    Dep Lookup  Dep Lookup  Dep Lookup  PROD

Let's just say that the first data point found in column B is found at B28, I need the header row copied and pasted from B5: last in a row to the row just above where it found the first data in B28, meaning that it will be pasted starting in B27.
61000   2110
61000   2110                1
61000   2110                3
61000   2120
61000   2120                1
61000   2120                3
61000   2120                4

Now it looks again in column B and finds the next data point in B100. I need the header copied and pasted from B5:last in row to B99. It keeps doing this until there is no more data. The placement of the data in rows will change from month to month.
76200
76200   1000
76200   2020
76200   2100
76200   2110
76200   2115

I expect that for each time the codes finds a value in column B, that it will go up 1 row and paste the header into it. It will do this until there is no more data (basically, the rows will just be blank).

A: I've had a go at this and think I have a working solution. Though I have made assumptions that all of your headers are in a row without empty cells between them... if this is not the case, you can simply edit the "Selection.End(xlToRight)" part of the Range statement before it copies the headers, so that it includes all of the headers.
Sub LoopForColumnHeaders()
'
' This macro copies headers from a defined range ("B5":End of row) and pastes it above each encountered row of data as a header

    ' Copy the headers
    Range("B5").Select
    Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlToRight)).Select       ' Does the same as Ctrl + Shift + Right
    Selection.Copy                                          ' Copy the headers

    ' Pasting the first headers
    Selection.End(xlDown).Select                ' Does the same as Ctrl + down
    Selection.Offset(-1, 0).Activate            ' Move up one row
    ActiveSheet.Paste                           ' Paste the headers

    ' Pasting subsequent headers

    Do While Idx < 1048575                      ' Change this value if you want to, it determines when the loop will stop, but I didn't want to assume the length of your data so I set it to max rows - 1
        Selection.End(xlDown).Select            ' Does the same as Ctrl + down
        Selection.End(xlDown).Select            ' Do it again to get to next code chunk
        If Not IsEmpty(ActiveCell) Then         ' Check this cell is not empty (bottom of page if data does not reach this far)
            Selection.Offset(-1, 0).Activate    ' Move up one row
            If IsEmpty(ActiveCell) Then         ' Check if this cell is empty
                ActiveSheet.Paste               ' Paste the headers
            End If
        End If
        Idx = ActiveCell.Row                    ' Set the value of Idx equal to current row
    Loop

End Sub

A:
Assumptions:
1.  left most cell of the header to insert is B5.
2.  right most cell of the header to insert is unknown.
3.  last data in row 5 is part of the header to insert.

Here is the subroutine:
Public Sub insertHeader()

    'add an error handler
    On error goto errHandler

    'declare variables to use
    dim oRangeHeader as Excel.Range 'range object of header
    dim lColLastHeader as long 'last column of header
    dim lRowLastColOfB as long 'last row of column B with data
    dim lRowLastColOfB as long 'last row of column B with data
    dim lRowOfBLoop as long 'row loop variable of column B
    dim lRowOfBLoopEmpty as long 'empty row in column B

    'get the last column of the header to insert
    lColLastHeader= Activesheet.Cells(5,Application.Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column

    'set to range object variable the header
    set oRangeHeader = Activesheet.Range(cells(5,2), cells(5,lColLastHeader))

    'check if last row of column B has data
    if len(Activesheet.range("B" & application.rows.count).value) = 0 then
        'length is zero = no data
        'get the last row of column B with data
        lRowLastColOfB = Activesheet.range("B" & application.rows.count).end(xlUp).Row
    else
        'length is greater than zero
        lRowLastColOfB = application.rows.count
    end if

    'check if value of last row of column B is greater than the row of header
    if lRowLastColOfB > 5 then
        'set to 0 the empty row variable in column
        lRowOfBLoopEmpty = 0
        'create a loop from B6 to last row of B
        for lRowOfBLoop = 6 to lRowLastColOfB
            'check if cell is empty
            if len(Activesheet.range("B" & lRowOfBloop).value) = 0 then
                'set the row of B loop to variable for empty row in B
                lRowOfBLoopEmpty = lRowOfBloop
            else
                'check if variable for empty row is 0
                if lRowOfBLoopEmpty > 0 then
                    oRangeHeader.copy
                    Activesheet.Range("B" & lRowOfBLoopEmpty).select
                    Activesheet.Paste
                    Activesheet.Range("B" & lRowOfBLoop).select
                    Application.CutCopyMode = false
                    lRowOfBLoopEmpty = 0
                End If
            End If
        Next lRowOfBLoop
    End If

Die Große Sowjetische Enzyklopädie (, abgekürzt  / Bolschaja sowetskaja enziklopedija (BSE)) ist die bekannteste und umfangreichste russischsprachige Enzyklopädie. Sie erschien in der Sowjetunion mit insgesamt drei Auflagen:

 Erste Auflage: 65 Bände und ein Ergänzungsband, Erscheinungsdaten 1926 bis 1933
 Zweite Auflage: 50 Bände, ein Ergänzungsband (Band 51 – UdSSR) sowie ein zweiteiliges alphabetisches Register, Erscheinungsdaten 1950 bis 1960
 Dritte Auflage: 30 Bände, Band 24 in zwei Teilen (Teil 1: Собаки–Струна, Teil 2: UdSSR), Erscheinungsdaten 1969 bis 1978

Erste Auflage (1926–1933)
Die erste Auflage wurde auf Beschluss des Zentralkomitees (1925) von 1926 bis 1947 mit einer Auflage von 50.000 bis 80.000 Exemplaren hergestellt. Herausgeber war bis 1929 die Aktiengesellschaft "Sowjetische Enzyklopädie", ab 1930 der Staatliche Enzyklopädieverlag "Sowjetische Enzyklopädie", später das Staatliche Institut "Sowjetische Enzyklopädie".

Sie enthielt 65.000 Artikel, 12.000 Illustrationen und 1.000 Karten. Der Umfang entspricht etwa 96.800 DIN-A4-Seiten. Außer den 65 regulären Bänden gab es einen Ergänzungsband mit dem Titel UdSSR.

Der Inhalt der ersten Auflage orientierte sich an den Bedürfnissen der jungen Sowjetunion, so dominierten Artikel zu den Themen "Wirtschaft, Gegenwartspolitik und sowjetische Praxis".

Im Vorwort hieß es: "Im Zentrum der Aufmerksamkeit steht die UdSSR, der Aufbau unserer Wirtschaft und unserer Staatsform, aber auch die internationale revolutionäre Bewegung."

Chefredakteur war von 1924 bis 1941 der Naturwissenschaftler Otto Schmidt. Unter den Autoren waren außerdem Nikolai Bucharin, Kliment Woroschilow, Anatoli Lunatscharski, Michail Frunse, Nikolaj Maschkin und viele andere. Auch internationale Autoren wurden angefragt; so stammt der Artikel über Goethe zu großen Teilen von Walter Benjamin.

Jeder Band der ersten Auflage enthielt im Schnitt acht bis zehn farbige Landkarten und bis zu 20 meist farbige Illustrationen auf separaten Blättern. Neben diesen gab es zahlreiche Zeichnungen und Karten innerhalb der Textseiten. Diese waren überwiegend in Holzstichtechnik von bekannten Künstlern ausgeführt.

Die Artikel dieser Auflage sind in Russland gemeinfrei.

Zweite Auflage (1950–1960)
Die Herausgabe der zweiten Auflage der Großen Sowjetischen Enzyklopädie wurde im Februar 1949 vom Ministerrat der UdSSR beschlossen. In dem Beschluss wurde die strenge ideologische Ausrichtung formuliert:

"Die Überlegenheit der sozialistischen Kultur gegenüber der Kultur der kapitalistischen Welt muss mit erschöpfender Vollständigkeit gezeigt werden. Gestützt auf die Theorie des Marxismus-Leninismus soll die Enzyklopädie von der Warte der kommunistischen Partei aus eine Kritik der gegenwärtigen reaktionären bourgeoisen Tendenzen in den verschiedenen Gebieten der Wissenschaft liefern."

Die Bände erschienen von 1950 bis 1958 im Moskauer Staatlichen Wissenschaftsverlag "Große Sowjetenzyklopädie" in einer Auflage von 250.000–300.000 Exemplaren. Die Enzyklopädie bestand aus 51 Bänden, von denen der 51. (UdSSR) ein Ergänzungsband war. 1960 erschien noch ein alphabetisches Sach- und Personenregister in zwei Büchern. Der Umfang entsprach etwa 107.800 DIN-A4-Seiten.

Im Vorwort zur zweiten Auflage wurde eine Rückschau auf die erste gehalten:

"Die erste Ausgabe der BSE widerspiegelt natürlich weder die umfassenden Veränderungen, die im Leben der Völker der Sowjetunion und der übrigen Länder vorgegangen sind, noch den gegenwärtigen Stand der sowjetischen Wissenschaft, Technik und Kultur. Ein bedeutender Teil der Artikel der ersten Ausgabe ist offensichtlich veraltet. Überdies enthalten viele Artikel grobe theoretische und politische Fehler."

Neben ausführlichen Übersichtsartikeln (beispielsweise über die Unionsrepubliken, ausländische Staaten, Wissenschaften u. a.) enthielt diese Ausgabe zahlreiche mittellange und kurze Artikel; im Schnitt hatte ein Artikel 2000 Zeichen. Dies ermöglichte die Aufnahme von rund 100.000 Lemmata. Mehr als 40 Prozent der Artikel enthielten bibliographische Angaben, die meisten in ihrer Originalsprache (in den 35 Sprachen innerhalb der Sowjetunion und in 25 ausländischen Sprachen).

In der zweiten Auflage gab es 40.852 Illustrationen und 2363 Karten; der Einband war mit einem Prägerelief versehen.

Chefredakteure dieser Ausgabe waren Sergei Wawilow (1949–51) und Boris Wwedenski (1951–69). Daneben waren auch Andrei Kolmogorow und viele andere Wissenschaftler als Autoren beteiligt.

Die Bände der zweiten Auflage sind bis einschließlich des 27. Bandes (А bis Многоножки) gemeinfrei, da sie bis Juli 1954 erschienen sind. Die restlichen Bände sind in Russland urheberrechtlich geschützt.

Dritte Auflage (1969–1978)

Nach einem Beschluss des Zentralkomitees der KPdSU vom 2. Februar 1967 begann man im selben Jahr mit der Arbeit zur dritten Auflage der Großen Sowjetischen Enzyklopädie. Die Ausgabe enthält 30 Bände (Band 24 in zwei Büchern). Der Ergänzungsband (das zweite Buch des 24. Bandes) ist der UdSSR gewidmet. Mit einer Auflage von etwa 630.000 Exemplaren erschien diese Auflage in den Jahren von 1969 bis 1978.

Die dritte Auflage war vom Umfang her kleiner als die zweite (gleichgestellt mit ca. 77.000 DIN-A4-Seiten), sie enthielt 95.279 Artikel, 29.120 Illustrationen, 3701 Porträtbilder und 524 farbige Landkarten. Chefredakteur war der Physiker Alexander Prochorow (seit 1969).

Im Vergleich zur zweiten lag in dieser Auflage ein Schwerpunkt auf philosophischen Fragen der Naturwissenschaften, dem wachsenden Einfluss der Physik und Chemie auf alle naturwissenschaftlichen und technischen Bereiche sowie der verbreiteten Anwendung mathematischer Methoden in den Wirtschaftswissenschaften, Soziologie, Linguistik und anderen Wissenschaftszweigen.

Die Enzyklopädie war reich illustriert und die einzelnen Bände enthielten farbige Tafel- und Kartenseiten, die im Tief-, Hoch- und Offsetdruckverfahren produziert waren, Leporellokarten sowie Illustrationen, Karten und Diagramme auf den Textseiten. Eine Schallplatte, die Aufnahmen der Reden von Lenin enthielt, wurde beigelegt.

Die dritte Auflage der Enzyklopädie wurde in die englische Sprache übersetzt und von dem britisch-amerikanischen Verlag Macmillan 1974–1983 (andere Quellen: 1973–1982) herausgegeben. Jeder Band wurde gesondert übersetzt, die Reihenfolge der Einträge richtet sich nach dem russischen Alphabet. Außerdem wurde sie ins Griechische übersetzt.

Zwischen 1957 und 1990 erschien jedes Jahr ein Band mit aktuellen Informationen über die Sowjetunion und andere Länder der Welt.

Die Erfahrungen bei der Produktion der Großen Sowjetenzyklopädie wurden bei der Arbeit an anderen Lexika und Nachschlagewerken genutzt, so etwa die Kleine Sowjetenzyklopädie (drei Auflagen 1928–60), dem einbändigen Sowjetischen Enzyklopädischen Wörterbuch (vier Auflagen 1979–91), dem zweibändigen Großen Enzyklopädischen Wörterbuch (1991).

Spätere Nutzungsrechte
Inhaber der Druckrechte ist der Rechtsnachfolger des Verlages Sowjetische Enzyklopädie, der Staatsverlag Große russische Enzyklopädie (BRE). Die elektronischen (Teil-)Nutzungsrechte wurden vertraglich mehreren Unternehmen übertragen: das ausschließliche Recht auf Internet-Publikation gehört Russ Portal, die es auf der Website Rubrikon vermarktet, die Rechte auf Multimediaverwertung (CD-ROM) dem Unternehmen Novy disk u. a.

2001 gab die 1993 gegründete russische Aktiengesellschaft Autopan die dritte Auflage der Enzyklopädie auf drei CDs heraus.

Artikel aus der dritten Auflage, die in der englischsprachigen Ausgabe (1970–1979) erschienen sind, sind bei TheFreeDictionary.com verfügbar, allerdings nicht vollständig.

Von einer deutschsprachigen Ausgabe (Die Große Sowjet-Enzyklopädie) erschien 1953 im Aufbau-Verlag nur der von Jürgen Kuczynski und Wolfgang Steinitz herausgegebene erste Band mit dem Stichwort Deutschland.

Zensur
Während und nach der Zeit von Josef Stalin wurde die Enzyklopädie zu einem Problem, wenn ein plötzlich der damnatio memoriae unterzogener Zeitgenosse in der Enzyklopädie noch allzu ausführlich oder positiv gewürdigt wurde. So berichtet der Publizist Wolfgang Leonhard, dass die Abonnenten der Sowjetenzyklopädie nach Chruschtschows bekannter Geheimrede "Über den Personenkult und seine Folgen" aufgefordert wurden, die Seiten mit dem Stichwort "Beria", Stalins Geheimdienstchef, herauszutrennen und beim Verlag umzutauschen – zurückgekommen seien umfangreiche Papiere zum Thema Beringsee (→ Zensur in der Sowjetunion).

(noun): English novelist and poet (1840-1928).
Thomas Hardy, OM (2 June 1840 – 11 January 1928) was an English novelist and poet. A Victorian realist, in the tradition of George Eliot, he was also influenced both in his novels and poetry by Romanticism, especially by William Wordsworth. Charles Dickens is another important influence on Thomas Hardy. Like Dickens, he was also highly critical of much in Victorian society, though Hardy focussed more on a declining rural society.

Famous Hair Stylists Making an Impact on the Beauty Industry
All the latest from DaySmart to you
4 December 2020 —
Written by daysmart-salon
Whether you own a salon or simply love trying out new hairstyles, it's important to remember that the trends we love so much are thanks to stylists who changed beauty as we know it.
While many stylists have received praise for their work with celebrities, others have become famous for their innovative ideas and techniques. In this article, we'll pay tribute to famous hair stylists. Read on to learn what makes their work so great.
Iconic Stylists of the Past
Although trends come and go, they often make way for new ideas and revolutions on the way. Many of the styles we love so much today came from these great hairstylists of the past.
One of the most famous Hollywood hairstylists in the world, Vidal Sassoon started out cutting hair in his London based salon in 1954. He later became well-known for his short and angular haircuts that were iconic of the 1960s, such as the bob and pixie cuts. Women were drawn to these styles because they gave them a sense of freedom that previous haircuts hadn't.
His hair product lines were designed to cater to both celebrities and ordinary people. In fact, his Wash and Go 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner was the most popular hair care product of the 1980s.
Today, his legacy continues through Sassoon professional hair care products and the Sassoon Academy in London.
Kenneth Battelle
Working with some of the most famous names in Hollywood, there's no wonder that Kenneth Battelle became as famous as he did. He reached the height of his fame for creating Jackie Kennedy's bouffant, which gave her the appearance of a lengthened face and balanced her cheekbones.
Additionally, he styled actresses such as Lauren Bacall, Audrey Hepburn, and Marilyn Monroe. In fact, he actually rescued Monroe's hair when it was falling out from overbleaching and perms.
'The first black woman millionaire in America' started her business journey developing hair care products for black women. Her own hair loss inspired her to create the "Walker system" of hair care which through self-promotion and a knack for entrepreneurial endeavors she created a black business empire. She sold her products directly to black women and eventually grew her company large enough to employ her own "beauty culturalists" who would hand-sell the products for her.
The "Walker System" was the solution she developed to address her own scalp disorder which led to her losing much of her own hair. This treatment changed the entire black hair care market, it combined a preparation process, lotions and iron combs. Her differentiation specifically called attention to the health of the women who would use her products. A woman who truly made lemonade from the lemons she was given.
Raymond Bessone
This British hairstylist of the 1930s left a mark on the hair industry with his interesting innovations and ideas. He firmly believed that long hair made women appear older than what they really were and therefore designed short haircuts to help them look younger. He also was one of the first stylists to work with unnatural colors such as pink, orange, and purple.
Famous Hair Stylists of Today
Although the stylists of the past have drastically changed the way we style and care for our hair, there's always room for improvement. With new techniques, styles, and products, these stylists are creating hot trends and making their name known in the process.
Jen Atkin
With just a small glance at her client list, there is no wonder why Jen Atkins is one of the most famous female stylists in the world. She has worked with celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez, Bella Hadid, Katy Perry, and the Kardashians. One look that she has popularized is the 'lob' haircut.
In addition to having her own digital magazine and hair care line, Jen has worked along with companies such as Beauty Works, Chloe + Isabel, and Dyson to create some of the highest demanded products in the industry.
Chris McMillan
When Chris McMillan started working with celebrities in the 1990s, he quickly became famous for his haircut called 'The Rachel' in the TV show "Friends". He has worked with dozens of celebrities since and even writes a column for Allure Magazine.
Frédéric Fekkai
When Frédéric Fekkai started out in the 1980s, the popular hair trends were far from effortless. Fekkai decided to take the chic natural beauty that French women are so famous for and use it on women's hairstyles.
Instead of stiff styles that required a lot of hairspray, he went for a soft and easygoing look. Moreover, he avoided bold colors like platinum blond, bright red, or black while adding soft highlights for dimension and volume. Today, he is most known for founding Fekkai, his vegan hair product line.
Kim Kimble
Kim Kimble started working at her mother's salon when she was a teen but soon realized that she had a natural talent for styling hair. Combining that talent with her hard work, she built an impressive portfolio while working for celebrities at Vogue, Vanity Fair, and Essence. Kim Kimble went on to star on the show "L.A Hair" for five seasons.
She has since worked with some of the most famous African American women in the world such as Oprah, Beyonce, Zendaya, and Nicki Minaj. Moreover, she has several salons and hair care products that are meant to be affordable even for ordinary folks.
Ted Gibson
If you've seen TLC's "What Not To Wear", you may recognize Ted Gibson, the stylist who gave contestants life-changing makeovers. In addition, he has been featured on dozens of other popular TV shows, including "The Today Show", "Good Morning America" and "Oprah".
When he isn't styling celebrities' hair or appearing on TV shows, he can be found in his salon "Starring", located in Los Angeles. His haircuts are famous for ranging anywhere from $900 to $2000.
Learning From the Legends
After seeing all that these famous hair stylists have accomplished in their careers, it's no doubt that the work of a single hairstylist can change the way women around the world style and care for their hair. By continuing to improve the famous techniques of past hair care legends, we as hairstylists can create new trends that make our clients feel beautiful.

National Animal Control Officer Appreciation Week
National Animal Control Officer Appreciation Week is celebrated every second full week of April and is endorsed by the NACA (National Animal Care & Control Association). This year the NACA Appreciation Week is celebrated 10-16th of April.
The organization was formed back in 1978 for the sole purpose of helping its members to conduct their daily duties in a professional manner. The mission of the organization is to, "endorse the bond between animals and humans by advocating for responsible animal ownership by setting standards of professionalism in public safety and animal welfare."
The brave men and women of Animal Control put a lot of devotion and time into serving the public while risking their health and lives in order to provide comfort and well-being for both people and animals.
What do Animal Control Officers actually do?
To begin with, animal control officers pick up stray animals and sometimes even DOA's (Dead on Arrival). But the profession has much more to it. The officers seek justice in cases of abused, neglected, and abandoned animals; they conduct humane investigations and bring in helpless animals. They protect animals from abusers and people from dangerous animals.
Animal officers encounter sick, lost, aggressive, and injured animals on a daily basis. They work on public safety issues and perform bite quarantines and rabies prevention activities, and they educate the public how to provide better care for their pets.
They are individuals that constantly struggle with emotionally and physically challenging situations in a profession that demands concentration, stamina, endurance and a clear mind.
What to be thankful for?
That a control officer comes rushing into situations when everyone else is running away.
Picking up pets when seniors or disabled people can't care for them any more.
That a control officer looks after your own health by controlling and preventing rabies outbreaks and injuries inflicted by loose animals.
That they investigate animal cruelty, abuse, and neglect.
For responding to calls of stray or lost animals, bite incidents and noise complaints.
For assisting in rescuing animals from fighting rings.
That they relocate wildlife back to the wild.
For being the voice of justice for the voiceless victims which they often defend in a court of law.
How to thank them during National Animal Control Officer Appreciation Week
To keep in mind that our New Orleans Humane Law & Rescue team is only able to enforce the animal laws in Orleans Parish. We have a contract with the City of New Orleans to provide animal control services and are only able to enforce the laws as they are written. For cases of animal abuse and neglect, they gather the information pertinent to the case and trust the courts to prosecute to the fullest extent of the law.
In a usually thankless profession, Animal Control Officers deserve to hear that their work really matters and makes a difference. If you know an officer that helped you in one way or another, this is the time to support them in their endeavors by officially thanking him/her.
We use this opportunity to help the local community get to know our New Orleans Humane Law & Rescue team! Throughout the week, we will be featuring each officer and asking them questions to help the community get to know them better.
We think most ACOs (Animal Control Officers) will be happy and satisfied just by knowing you are a good pet owner that doesn't abuse or abandon his/her pet, follows regular vaccination protocols and has provided some sort of identification for the animal (microchip and collar ID tag).
Please call 911 for animal-related emergencies and 311, option 1, for all other animal-related calls.

Couple's Meth Recovery Before-And-After Photos Go Viral
By Kelly Burch 08/08/19
The Tennessee couple have been sober for over two years.
Photo via Facebook
When Brent Walker of Cleveland, Tennessee made a Facebook post on July 26 with the hashtag #CleanChallenge, he wanted to showcase the transformation that he and his wife, Ashley, had made since they quit using methamphetamine more then two-and-a-half years ago.
He never expected that the Facebook post would go viral, but when it did he was glad to share the couple's story of addiction and recovery in hopes of helping others.
"Don't give up, it gets easier. It's really hard. We had a really hard time, just because we didn't have nobody to talk to," Walker told Knox News. "But if you don't give up... the grass is greener on the other side. It's been a blessing. It really has."
In the post, Walker shared two photos of himself and Ashley: one when they were actively using, and a more recent photo from when they were well-established in recovery.
Celebrating Sobriety
"This is my wife and I in active meth addiction the first photo was taken around December 2016 the second one was taken in July of 2019," Walker wrote. "This December 31st will be 3 years we have been clean and sober and living for God. I hope that my transformation can encourage a addict somewhere! It is possible to recover!!"
Walker said that just before the first photo, he had been in jail for two years on meth-related charges. At first he continued to get high once he was out, but he realized that a positive drug test while on probation could send him back to jail. He decided it wasn't worth the risk. Then, he asked Ashley, who was his girlfriend at the time, if she was willing to get sober with him.
"I asked her if she'd quit with me and she said 'yes, I go wherever you go,'" he recalled.
Early Recovery & Nuptials
One month into sobriety, the pair got married. After two months they were able to get their own place, and after four months they bought a car. Along the way they changed their phone numbers and cut ties with anyone who they used to do meth with.
Today, Walker has obtained his GED and works two jobs, one in steelwork and one in HVAC. Ashley is a patient care technician. Walker said that he never expected to be one of the success stories of sobriety.
"I've done drugs my entire life," he said. "I remember telling people all the time that I could literally never be sober. It would be a boring lifestyle."
Today, however, he is happy that he and Ashley made the change together.

As Thornton Academy dedicates a granite bench to Ashley Ouellette, classmates relive loss and frustration.
SACO — Every once in a while, Nicole Hall manages to forget that her Thornton Academy classmate, Ashley Ouellette, was killed and left in the middle of a Scarborough road three months ago.
She forgets that she will never see Ouellette's smiling face again, or take comfort in the way the friendly 15-year-old sophomore could make her feel special with simple small talk. "Then I remember, and it all comes back," said a tearful Hall, a 17-year-old junior who attended Thornton's alternative education program with Ouellette.
As Thornton Academy dedicated a granite bench in Ouellette's memory Friday afternoon, Hall and some of her classmates once again faced their loss and the horrible frustration of an unsolved crime.
Maine State Police continue to investigate the Feb. 10 slaying, but no arrests have been made. After attending a party the night before, Ouellette was found early that morning, strangled and lying face-down on Pine Point Road.
Headmaster Carl Stasio said the bench, placed beneath a tree in front of the Atrium, is meant to serve as a permanent reminder of the girl who will not graduate with her class in 2001.
Ouellette's parents, Robert and Lise, and her younger sister, Lindsey, attended the unveiling ceremony and offered thanks for all the community has done to show its support.
In addition to the granite bench, a memorial scholarship has raised $19,000, and the Ashley Ouellette Justice Fund has raised $860 in addition to the Ouellettes' $10,000 reward for help in the investigation.
For some students — those who find themselves on the threshold of the prom and graduation and the rest of their lives — the bench will be a sobering symbol of their own fragile mortality.
"I think the whole thing was a reality check for everybody," said Michelle Cote, the sophomore class secretary who participated in the dedication ceremony.
But even among the students who have come to terms with Ouellette's death, there are some who understand how difficult it must be for those who have not.
"It's still hard to talk about for some of us," said Erica Sabo, who grew up with Ouellette and participated in the ceremony as vice president of the sophomore class.
Indeed, after the ceremony many of Ouellette's closest friends refused to talk about her death. Some of the students who did share their feelings were angry to be faced with a constant reminder of their loss.
"It just proves that she's actually gone and she's not coming back," said Sean McKenna, a 17-year-old junior who stood silently, looking at the bench, with a small group of students.


High-yield investment program (HYIP) is basically a form of scam. Previously, it was applied to denote an investment program that provides substantial return on investment. The expression HYIP was misused by the con artists to disguise their scams as legal investments.
High-Yield investment program is a kind of scam or con job. Earlier, the expression High-Yield investment program was applied to denote an investment program with large returns. Nevertheless, the expression HYIP was improperly used by the con artists for disguising their scams in the form of legal investments.
As a result of its extensive utilization by the con artists, high-yield investment program has got virtually synonymous with Ponzi Scheme or scam.
The majority of high yield investment programs reveal small or no information regarding the management, area and other features about the mode of investment. This is due to the reason that in most of the cases, money is not really invested.
In addition, the high yield investment program initiators expose comparatively brief details about how the returns will be produced, which they claim or intend to provide.
They say that they are involved in different forms of stock trading and commodity trading operations, which actually they are not.
In some instances, they introduce themselves with some type of assurances, appeals arousing strong feeling and solicitation for trust, which propose to offer the investors financial independence.
The online High-Yield investment programs seldom persist higher than one or two years and normally receive limited amounts of deposits and at the same time, assurances are given for amazingly increased returns. A large number of instances indicate that high yield investment programs are Ponzi schemes, where the fresh investors offer the cash for giving the profit to the current investors, which they normally take back. This initiative permits the scam to go on till the time fresh investors are there to come up and/or current investors are entrusting their money in the scheme and this is termed as compounding (as more profits are assured).
The entry of e–currencies has enabled the high yield investment programs to function over the Internet and get across international borders and to receive huge amounts of small-scale investments.
Ordinarily, the high yield investment programs provide a fairly large incentive commission (for instance, 9 percent of invested deposits) for participants to draw in and make references for fresh investors.
Till date, the biggest high yield investment scam that happened on the Internet was People in Profit System or Pure Investors or PIPs. This investment plan was commenced by Bryan Marsden in the earlier part of the year 2004 and extended over 20 countries. In the year 2005, an inquiry was conducted on PIPS by Bank Negara Malaysia as a consequence of which Marsden and his wife were penalized.

Better planning will mean stronger communities in the Greater Golden Horseshoe
Archived Release
July 12, 2004 12:00 A.M.
Ministry of Infrastructure
Government Targets Intelligent Growth Management In Canada's Fastest Growing Region TORONTO, July 12 - The McGuinty government is planning for strong communities and a prosperous economy with the release of a discussion paper outlining its plan for growth in the Greater Golden Horseshoe for the next 30 years and beyond, Minister of Public Infrastructure Renewal David Caplan announced today. "Years of poor planning and leadership have left a legacy of uncontrolled urban sprawl, traffic congestion, environmental decline, and loss of greenspace and farmland in the Greater Golden Horseshoe," said Caplan. "The McGuinty government's vision for growth signals a new era in community planning, which incorporates land use, economic and environmental considerations." The discussion paper, Places To Grow: Better Choices. Brighter Future, outlines proposed provincial decisions on a range of issues, including urban planning, land use, economic development, and investment in public infrastructure like roads, public transit, schools, healthcare facilities and water and sewer systems, and solicits public comment. "Working with municipalities, we will manage growth, support economic development and reinvest in public infrastructure," said Caplan. "With this strategy for building stronger communities and improving the quality of life for the people of Ontario, we are bringing real, positive change that will lay the foundation today for how we live tomorrow." The discussion document was developed in consultation with a wide range of stakeholders from other levels of government, the private sector, and environmental and community organizations. "This vision goes a long way in making growth a benefit to all," said Mississauga Mayor Hazel McCallion. "When implemented, the plan will protect the future of our communities and will be well received by the public." A key goal of the growth plan is creating the right conditions for greater economic growth, investment, job creation and economic competitiveness in the Golden Horseshoe region. "This visionary plan comes at a critical point in time for the economic prosperity of the region," said Bob Onyschuk, Chairman of the Board of the Canadian Urban Institute. "If we want Toronto and the GTA to achieve first- tier status amongst North America's successful city regions in the 21st century, then this is the plan and we need to do it now." "The draft growth plan reflects a good fit with the goals of the Greenbelt Task Force. The plan shows comprehensive thinking and long-term planning," said Robert MacIsaac, Mayor of Burlington and Chair of the Golden Horseshoe Greenbelt Task Force. "I am extremely encouraged by the direction that the government has shown with this discussion paper," said Michael Roschlau, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Canadian Urban Transit Association. "Public transit has to be a top priority if we want to ensure future quality of life in the Golden Horseshoe." Over the next 30 years the area is expected to grow by almost four million people - roughly the populations of Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton combined - with about two million new jobs created. "This plan will provide the clarity that we are all looking for," said Jim Faught, Executive Director of Ontario Nature and a member of the Greenbelt Task Force. "We need to grow better so that we can protect our natural environment. The plan will help us get there." The government is seeking input from municipalities, community groups and the public on the discussion paper through public information sessions, correspondence, or online. This input will help shape the final plan which will be developed in the fall. "This is an historic document," Caplan said. "For the first time in our history, we have the basis of a plan to manage population growth and economic expansion in a rational, intelligent way, instead of trying to catch up to it after the fact. This is our chance - maybe our last chance - to build the future we want." Backgrounder ------------------------------------------------------------------------- July 12, 2004 MCGUINTY GOVERNMENT RELEASES PLAN TO BUILD STRONGER COMMUNITIES IN THE GREATER GOLDEN HORSESHOE Minister of Public Infrastructure Renewal David Caplan today released a discussion paper on the province's plan for growth and economic expansion in the Greater Golden Horseshoe, from Peterborough to Barrie to Kitchener- Waterloo to Niagara Falls. The document, entitled Places to Grow: Better Choices. Brighter Future, outlines a strategy and identifies the necessary tools for managing growth in the fastest-growing region in Canada. Over the next 30 years almost 4 million people will settle in the Greater Golden Horseshoe, which includes the cities of Toronto, Hamilton and Kawartha Lakes; the regional municipalities of Halton, Peel, York, Durham, Waterloo and Niagara; and the counties of Haldimand, Brant, Wellington, Dufferin, Simcoe, Northumberland and Peterborough. This projected growth places intense pressure on the region's resources and infrastructure. If current patterns of development continue, by 2031 commute times will increase by up to 45 per cent, automobile related emissions will increase by 42 per cent, and new development will consume more than 1,000 sq. km of valuable farmlands - about double the present size of the City of Toronto. The projected increase in population in the region is about equal to the existing population of Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton combined. The discussion paper provides a comprehensive framework for managing economic and population growth in Ontario in a way that promotes vibrant communities, a strong economy, and enhanced environmental sustainability. It provides direction for provincial and municipal decisions on a range of growth- related issues, including: - Urban development and land-use planning; - Capital investment planning; - Housing, transportation and environmental infrastructure; and, - Economic development. The document was developed in consultation with a wide range of stakeholders, including all levels of government, the private sector and environmental and community organizations. The Ontario government is seeking public input and response to the discussion paper to help shape the content of the final plan. Overview Places to Grow: Better Choices. Brighter Future addresses four key issues that are critical to ensuring that growth in the Greater Golden Horseshoe is managed in a way that is good for communities and our quality of life. Where and how to grow The discussion paper sets out a vision and strategies for focusing future development within existing urban boundaries. Efficient land use, intensification and compact development are the cornerstones of sound growth management. By directing growth to areas that can best support it - priority urban centres - the discussion paper provides a framework for building on existing investment and infrastructure, containing urban sprawl, and protecting the areas that provide food, greenspace and natural resources. The overall goal is to develop a network of well-managed urban centres that can strengthen the economy of the entire region, form the building blocks of future growth, provide a framework for future infrastructure investments and reduce pressures on the region's environment. Infrastructure to promote growth The discussion paper outlines a new approach to infrastructure planning and investment that will optimize the use of existing infrastructure, identify priorities over the next 10 years, focus investment on priority urban centres, and coordinate long-term plans across regions and with other levels of government. While the paper addresses all aspects of infrastructure investment, it gives special focus to two key areas: transportation and water. The discussion paper ensures that investment in transit and transportation infrastructure will support the convenient and accessible movement of people and goods throughout the region. The paper also identifies the strategies for planning, financing and maintaining sustainable water and wastewater infrastructure to ensure that it can support development in priority areas and steer growth away from areas that provide food and natural resources. Protecting what's valuable Building on government initiatives such as the Greenbelt Task Force, the Planning Reform initiative, and the Rural Strategy, the discussion paper outlines directions and a range of strategies for accommodating growth in the Greater Golden Horseshoe, while protecting and enhancing the region's valuable resources, including natural areas, agricultural land, and water and mineral resources. This approach of linking decisions on growth with the protection of our resources, greenspaces and natural systems will ensure that planning and investment decisions reduce pressures on our environment. Maximizing the efficient use of our infrastructure and promoting compact development will reduce the pressure on our resources and provide a better balance between economic expansion and the protection of our natural systems. Implementation The discussion paper identifies a number of key actions to ensure the plan is implemented effectively, including: - Provincial policies must be aligned and strong partnerships established with municipal governments and other stakeholders to ensure the government's investments and decisions help manage growth wisely; - Roles and responsibilities must be clearly defined through a legislative framework; - The right mix of fiscal and regulatory tools must be identified and promoted to create real incentives, remove barriers and provide strong direction to facilitate more compact form, stronger urban centres and better transportation choices; and, - Monitoring must be done regularly to assess implementation efforts and review the impacts on our communities and quality of life. How to have your say The discussion paper is available for download at www.placestogrow.pir.gov.on.ca. Ontarians are invited to submit written comments through the web site, located at www.placestogrow.pir.gov.on.ca, or by regular mail to: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, Ministry of Public Infrastructure Renewal, Smart Growth Secretariat, 777 Bay Street, 16th Floor, Toronto, Ontario M5G 2E5. To contribute to the final version of the plan, input must be received by September 24, 2004. Public Information Sessions The discussion paper will also be the subject of public information sessions in communities across the Greater Golden Horseshoe during the last two weeks of July.

The state senate says some people get fired for doing such stupid things that they don't deserve to collect unemployment checks. The senate has approved a law change that will make it harder for them to get them.
Senator Will Krause of Lee's Summit sponsors the bill that he says will bring common sense to the state's unemployment benefits law.
He says people who urinate into another worker's coffee should not get benefits–although in one case, the worker did. Nor should someone caught stealing and fired but never criminally charged get checks. Nor should somebody fired for pinching another employee's bottom. And he and other senators can go on and on. In fact, a couple of them did relate stories during debate of workers who did something stupid or something underhanded, got fired, and still got checks.
Some senators say the state employment security division lacks common sense and lacks reason. But Krause says it's not the division's fault. "The Department of Labor is following decisions based on what the court has interpreted from our laws," he says. So he's changing the law to re-define "misconduct" as a reason for firing. The proposed new law would say a person can be canned for willfully ignoring the employers standards of behavior and best interests. The bill protects employees for behavior away from the workplace unless it is related to job performance or the job environment.
The senate has approved it. Now it's the House's turn.

Israel: Stop NSO Group exporting spyware to human rights abusers
LONDON, 14 Jan. - (ANA) - Israel must revoke the export license of NSO Group whose spyware products have been used in malicious attacks on human rights activists around the world, Amnesty International said ahead of the latest court case to embroil the tech firm.
On Thursday, a judge at Tel Aviv's District Court will begin hearing arguments as to why Israel's Ministry of Defence (MoD) should restrict the activities of NSO Group. The firm's Pegasus software has been used to target journalists and activists across the globe – including in Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Mexico and the United Arab Emirates.
"NSO continues to profit from its spyware being used to commit abuses against activists across the world and the Israeli government has stood by and watched it happen," said Danna Ingleton, Deputy Director of Amnesty Tech.
"The best way to stop NSO's powerful spyware products reaching repressive governments is to revoke the company's export license, and that is exactly what this legal case seeks to do."
The legal action is being brought by approximately 30 members and supporters of Amnesty International Israel and others from the human rights community. The action is supported by Amnesty International as part of a joint project with New York University (NYU) School of Law's Bernstein Institute for Human Rights and Global Justice Clinic.
"In authorizing exports by NSO –a company that has sold its invasive software products to governments known to abuse human rights—the Ministry of Defence has failed in its human rights law obligations to protect the rights to privacy, freedom of expression and freedom of opinion," said Sukti Dhital, Executive Director of the Bernstein Institute for Human Rights.
Last week, the Ministry of Defence asked the judge to dismiss the case, or if it proceeds to grant a gag order to restrict reporting on national security grounds.
"It is overwhelmingly in the public interest and for press freedom that this case is heard in open court. The Ministry of Defence must not be allowed to hide behind a veil of secrecy when it comes to human rights abuses," said Danna Ingleton.
Digital attacks
The hearing is the latest legal action involving NSO Group. Last October, Facebook announced it is suing NSO Group after the firm exploited a vulnerability in WhatsApp to target at least 100 human rights defenders.
Amnesty International and others have documented the repeated use of NSO Group's Pegasus spyware to target civil society and stifle freedom of expression. In October 2019, Amnesty uncovered targeted digital attacks using Pegasus against two prominent Moroccan human rights defenders – academic and activist Maati Monjib and human rights lawyer Abdessadak El Bouchattaoui.
In August 2018, an Amnesty International staff member received a message which contained a link purporting to be about a protest outside the Saudi Arabian embassy in Washington. It was sent at a time when Amnesty International was campaigning for the release of Saudi women human rights activists. If clicked, the link would have secretly installed NSO malware, allowing the sender to obtain near-total control of the phone.
Previous research also exposed the use of Pegasus to target at least 24 human rights defenders, journalists and parliamentarians in Mexico; Saudi activists Omar Abdulaziz, Yahya Assiri, Ghanem Al-Masarir; award-winning Emirati human rights campaigner Ahmed Mansoor; and allegedly, murdered Saudi dissident Jamal Khashoggi.
Surveillance abuse
NSO Group claims it helps governments fight terrorism and crime, but it has failed to rebut mounting evidence linking its products to attacks on human rights defenders.
Although the company says it undertakes a rigorous review before sales of its products, these claims lack detail and, considering the number of attacks on civil society, appear to have been ineffective in numerous cases.
Despite announcing a new 'Human Rights Policy' in September, NSO has not accepted responsibility for the multiple reported instances of misuse of its surveillance technologies.
States have an obligation to protect human rights in the context of corporate activities, including through regulation and oversight. All companies have a responsibility to respect human rights throughout their operations and supply chains. This means they must avoid causing or contributing to human rights abuses and take steps to identify and address human rights risks in their operations. - (ANA) -

PREPARED STATEMENTS SUBMITTED FOR THE RECORD
OPENING STATEMENT OF MR. DUNCAN HUNTER
HEARING ON U.S POLICY TOWARD IRAQ
Today, the Committee on Armed Services continues its review of United States policy toward Iraq.
This morning's hearing marks the second of a number of planned public sessions designed to educate and inform the Committee, and the American people, on the various issues surrounding Iraq's continued violation of numerous United Nation's resolutions, its illicit development of weapons of mass destruction, and the threat that Saddam Hussein poses to the United States, the Middle East, and the international community.
Last week, the Committee received a classified briefing from the CIA and DIA. We also heard from former, senior UNSCOM inspectors about Iraq's illicit weapons programs, and Saddam Hussein's persistent efforts to thwart the efforts of the U.N. inspectors so that he might preserve, and advance, his weapons of mass destruction programs.
Tomorrow, the Armed Services Committee will hear how the Iraqis built and sustained their weapons of mass destruction programs
through the legal, and illegal, acquisition of Western technology, and how the United States' own export control system may have contributed to the problems we are now facing with Iraq.
We also continue to plan further hearings for the coming weeks that will examine in greater detail the various aspects of the policy options before us.
Today, however, we are honored to have Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld before the Committee to discuss U.S. policy toward Iraq. He is the first cabinet-level official to appear on the Hill regarding Iraq, so we are all anxious to discuss these matters with him today.
Secretary Rumsfeld is joined by General Richard Myers, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Welcome gentlemen.
Mr. Secretary, before we ask you for your opening remarks, I want to invite Mr. Skelton, the Ranking Democrat on the committee, to offer any comments he might have.
Thank you Mr.Skelton.
Secretary Rumsfeld, the floor is yours.


We held a public comment period on Clallam County's proposed comprehensive update to their Shoreline Master Program (SMP). The period of public comment was held from Jan. 14 to Feb. 28, 2019.
