Each year Virginia Chandler Dykes scholarships are given to one graduate student from each of TWU's colleges. She will be honored on Feb. 27.
Five Scholarship Awards to be presented at 17th Annual TWU Virginia Chandler Dykes Leadership Award Luncheon Honoring
Dale Petroskey for his leadership in the community
Meghan Labiak, a graduate student pursuing a Dual MBA/MHSM (Master of Business Administration and Master of Health System Management) in Texas Woman's University's new College of Business (COB), which opened in 2018, is the inaugural Virginia Chandler Dykes Scholarship Recipient from that college. She will be honored as one of five scholarship recipients, representing each of TWU's colleges, on February 27 at the 17th Annual Virginia Chandler Dykes Leadership Award Luncheon, presented by Bank of Texas, Texas Woman's University, and the Texas Woman's University Foundation, at The Belo Mansion and Pavilion. She expects to complete her coursework in 2020.
Labiak has 8 ½ years of experience as a licensed speech language pathologist and has worked in a variety of settings including hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and skilled nursing facilities. Labiak resides in Dallas and is currently employed at Parkland Hospital, where she treats adults who have sustained acquired brain injuries.
A native of Bellmore, New York, Labiak was influenced by two hard-working parents. Her father is an engineer, and her mother is a physical therapist.
"Both of my parents moved into leadership roles within their occupations, and I always knew I wanted to do something in health care," added Labiak. "My mother guided me toward a career in speech pathology. While my work at the bedside has been extremely rewarding, I have seen many changes within the healthcare industry and know that many more are on the horizon," said Meghan Labiak. "I feel as though my experience as a frontline clinician will be extremely beneficial as a manager or health care employee in a different capacity."
Labiak completed her bachelor's in speech language pathology at Towson University in Maryland, where she played Division I Soccer and was awarded the Maryland Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (MACDA) Post-Graduate Scholarship. She then completed her master's in speech language pathology at Columbia University, Teachers College, and graduated in 2010.
"I feel so honored to be receiving this scholarship," added Labiak. "The fact that Virginia Chandler Dykes has accomplished so much within the field of rehabilitation makes it even more special for me. I am thankful to continue my studies with reduced financial burden."
"Meghan Labiak is a professional, a practicing speech pathologist working in the health care industry who came to the College of Business to hone her business skills," said Dr. James Lumpkin, Dean, College of Business. "Completing her MBA will allow her to gain relevant management skills that will help her advance professionally, and the COB is proud to place a spotlight on this deserving young woman."
In addition to Labiak, graduate students from the remaining four TWU colleges will be honored at the luncheon as recipients of Virginia Chandler Dykes scholarship funds: Patricia Flint, College of Education; Amie Bedgood, College of Nursing; Paramita Basu, College of Arts and Sciences; and Janice Kishi Chow, College of Health Sciences, OT.

Smurfs Sequel to Have a Script
Courtesy of Sony Pictures Animation
by Amos Barshad
The writers responsible for The Smurfs — David Stem, David Weiss, Jay Scherick, and David Ronn — will be back for Smurfs 2. In fact, because the live-action/CGI combo thing takes so long to produce, they've already turned in a draft of the screenplay for the 2013 sequel. People hoping for topical political humor are probably out of luck. Grade: C [HR]
Sarah Silverman's working on a new show — about a woman re-entering single life after a decade long committed relationship — and ABC, NBC, and FOX all want it. Also, it's being produced by Ron Howard's Imagine TV, and Howard is apparently so into the concept that he's tagging along to pitch meetings. Can they just make a show about Ron Howard and Sarah Silverman in pitch meetings? Grade: B+ [Deadline]
Producer Nigel Lythgoe more or less already said she would be, but now it's official: Jennifer Lopez is returning as a judge for the next season of American Idol. Okay, but what's the status of her next album?! Grade: A [HR]
Matt Bomer has signed on to Steven Soderbergh's stripper drama Magic Mike alongside Matthew McConaughey and Channing Tatum. Bomer will certainly get more exposure than he does on his USA show White Collar. Grade: B [Deadline]
Robert and Susan Downey are producing a movie on the USS Indianapolis shark-attack disaster that focuses on Hunter Scott, an 11-year-old boy who successfully campaigned to have the ship's captain, Charles McVay, exonerated. Grade: B+ [HR]
Rosamund Pike has landed a coveted role opposite Tom Cruise in One Shot, Christopher McQuarrie's adaptation of the Lee Childs novel series about Jack Reacher, a sort of vigilante drifter. Pike was competing with Hayley Atwell and Alexa Davalos for the role. So, take that Hayley Atwell and Alexa Davalos! Grade: C [Deadline]
Alejandro González Iñárritu will adapt Michael Punke's The Revenant: A Novel of Revenge, a book set in 1823 and about a fur trapper, mauled by a grizzly bear and betrayed by his pals, who sets off on an epic journey of revenge across miles of wilderness. Nice to see Inarritu, whose directed 21 Grams and Babel, going with some lighter material this time out. Grade: A [Variety]

Chronic pain affects about 50 million Americans every day. From headaches to arthritis, humans experience a range of different pains. These may also come from a traumatic accident, such as a car crash or slip and fall. Pain can be debilitating, preventing people from going to work and doing their daily activities. Luckily, people can find relief with painkillers.
Opiates as painkillers have been around for thousands of years, originally derived from poppies. Back in the Stone Age, the typical belief was that pain came from spirits or the gods. Pain remedies included animal sacrifices and religious offerings. In Ancient Egypt, people used electric eels on wounds – a practice somewhat similar to the electrical nerve stimulation we use today for some aches and pains. The Ancient Greeks followed the wisdom of Hippocrates and used willow leaves and bark for pain management (a natural source of salicylic acid and the main ingredient in aspirin).
In the Middle Ages, the use of herbs for pain management became popularized. During the 16th century, chemists used opium prepared in alcohol, creating a tincture known as laudanum. By the 1800s, however, physicians were using morphine in its pure form. This is where drug dependency really became an issue. In 1803, morphine was discovered and named after Morpheus, the Greek God of Dreams. It was administered orally until hypodermic needles were invented in 1853. In the late 1870s, people discovered that if you boil morphine, you get something several times more potent: heroin.
America, in particular, has had a long history of creating, distributing, and using painkillers. Since the late 19th century, opioid abuse has reached problematic levels multiple times, inciting the need for policymakers to step in. In the 1980s, drug companies rigorously promoted opioids as a safe way to treat chronic pain. Doctors reported that painkiller addiction was rare, with ratios such as only four in 12,000 patients becoming addicted. Physicians even asserted that doctors who withheld opioid prescriptions were under-treating pain.
In 2000, the Drug Addiction Treatment Act emphasized opioid substitution therapy as a treatment for addiction. Qualified physicians could prescribe outpatient opioid-based medications such as buprenorphine for use at home. In about 2003, studies voicing concerns about opioid addiction began to surface; a government survey found that more than 20% of people ages 18-25 in America abused prescription pain medication. Physicians prescribed narcotic painkillers in large amounts, leading to some being arrested after patients started selling drugs on the illegal market.
Investigations soon revealed that physicians' overzealous prescription methods were mostly the result of drug companies making false claims about the safety of opioids. In 2007, the manufacturing company for OxyContin paid a $600 million settlement when it pled guilty to such fraud charges. Similar settlements followed suit as further investigations exposed this widespread problem.
Today, opioids cause more deaths than any other drug. In 2010, patients consumed 99% of the world's total amount of hydrocodone (the opiate in Vicodin) and 80% of the world's oxycodone (in OxyContin and Percocet). These amounts are still climbing despite the attempts of policymakers to spread awareness of the issue and make changes. In 2011, President Obama released a plan to respond to America's prescription drug abuse crisis, emphasizing the importance of educating parents, youth, and healthcare providers.
Is There A Solution On The Horizon?
Federal and state policymakers are constantly coming up with new solutions and approaches to curb the ongoing prescription pain medication problem. Solutions include finding and shutting down illegal online opioid markets, educating physicians on the proper amounts of painkillers to prescribe, and encouraging parents to teach children the dangers of drug addiction from an early age. Promoting the safe and responsible use of opioids to treat pain will save billions of dollars in healthcare costs and thousands of lives otherwise taken by addictions and overdoses.
Current solutions to the epidemic include state-authorized prescription drug monitoring programs to detect and staunch prescription drug abuse. These programs allow states to collect and analyze prescription data efficiently, giving early warning signs of drug abuse issues, evaluating intervention methods, and investigating illegal drug activity. As of today, these programs have proved to lower rates of substance abuse over time.
Reducing painkiller misuse and abuse in America and around the world requires unified efforts by federal, state, and local entities. Health care professionals, parents and community citizens need to learn how to optimize awareness and prevention efforts using available data and resources. The opioid epidemic will only come to an end with widespread education and awareness of the issue.

Looking for Surrey conveyancing solicitors?
Before you choose a conveyancing solicitor, make sure that you confirm your solicitor can also act for your chosen mortgage lender.
Not checking your property lawyer is an approved member of your lender's panel can put your property purchase at risk of delay or failure.
The county of Surrey is one of the Home Counties, close to London. A wealthy county with some of the highest property values outside the capital, its major towns include Guildford (the county town) Camberley, Epsom, Staines and Redhill. Much of the county is rural with pretty villages and more woodland areas than anywhere else in the UK.
Surrey Hills, which includes Box Hill, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, covers a quarter of the county. Haslemere, Windlesham and Chobham and Shamley Green are popular with commuters with journey times to central London taking less than an hour.
How much council tax must I pay for a property in Woking Borough Council?
How much are conveyancing fees for buying or selling a home in Surrey?
Conveyancing fees include the conveyancer's legal fees and disbursements.
Conveyancing disbursements are the taxes and additional costs incurred on behalf of a buyer or seller, for example HMLR fees or management company information. Legal fees are for the legal work carried out by the solicitor.
Our conveyancing fees for buying or selling a house in Surrey are fixed, which means that for a standard transaction, what you pay is exactly what you see in your quote.
Our conveyancing fees calculator can give you a comprehensive conveyancing quote with a detailed breakdown of all fees, costs and disbursements for your Surrey sale or purchase.
I'm purchasing a home in Surrey which property searches will I require?
Sometimes the location of the property will warrant specialist searches such as a mining search.
To work out the price of searches on a Surrey property use our online conveyancing costs calculator.
I am buying a leasehold property in Surrey - what do I need to know?
Buying a leasehold property in the UK can be complex when compared to purchasing a freehold. The numerous common problems awaiting an uninformed buyer can include legally technical issues like costly and undisclosed major works and onerous covenants.
Correct, it can take much more time to carry out the conveyancing on leasehold properties,compared to the sale of a freehold property.
The solicitor acting for the buyer will need to review this leasehold-related paperwork, like a copy of buildings insurance for the common parts of the property and details of any breaches by other leaseholders. Delays are usually the result of the time required by to gather this paperwork.
It can take a long time to gather this information if it is difficult to contact the landlord or managing agent or they are slow to respond, so your solicitor should start this process at the earliest opportunity.
Will I need a conveyancing solicitor if I am remortgaging my Surrey property?
The official UK base rate is currently set at 0.75% (Feb 2019). A proactive conveyancing solicitor in Surrey should be able to complete the conveyancing quickly and get you onto your new rate without delay.

T ime Defines the time in minutes from which the timer countdown start s . 15. Short Range Devices (SRD) TWIG device s ettings for operating with Short Range Devices ( SRD ) are discussed in this section. SRD peripherals communicate with a SRD transceiver in the TWIG device , over a two - way 869 MHz ISM – band RF link. Note ! There is a SRD RF transceiver unit only in those TWIG device s ordered with the SRD option. TWIG device can operate with TWIG Button wireles s alarms , TWIG Beacon locating device s and TWIG Tag identifier s at the same time.

All messages between server and device are transmitted without delay. When In Charg er : GPRS connection is Always On when connected to charger, else Reconnect – mode is used. Note that if you define Always On it may prevent device fr om sleeping or using timer functions, increasing the power consumption significantly and thus reducing battery life. Reconnect Interval Controls the sending interval of MO GPRS reconnect messages in Reconnect – mode. The device sends reconnect messages to s erver to check for server status and for any pending incoming messages. Default value is 5 minutes. You can decrease Reconnect Interval value to improve MT messages latency, at the cost of increased overhead traffic. If Reconnect Interval is set to 0 (zer o), device makes GPRS connection only at power - up, or at sending a MO message such as EMG or tracking. Also MT messages are transferred, however MT latency is undefined unless tracking is activated. Reconnect Interval value is also used by Sleep Mode , in General Settings . MPTP Header Translation Defines whether special characters (? and ! ) in the beginning of MPTP messages (both SMS as well GPRS) are replaced by letters or not. Replacement is necessary in some mobile phone networks when using SMS where operator uses these characters for their own purposes. Translate header: OFF ON Request s: ? Q Updates: ! E Default value is OFF. Note that the Header T ranslat ion setting needs to be configured identically in the central station, whether it is a server system or a TWIG Discovery. Use Google Format Enables a mode where all outgoing position messages are sent as Google Maps hyperlink. Data fields from the end of MPTP message are in brackets in the end of hyperlink. Internal MPTP Commands Allow programming macros that are executed in the device in th e same way as MPTP commands sent from central station via SMS or IP/ GPRS, such as tracking or position request. Internal MPTP Commands can be run automatically on every start up , or when unit shifts from Emergency to Post Emergency mode. Mode defines the e xecution conditi on: OFF : This Internal MPTP Command is disabled. Startup : This Internal MPTP Command is run automatically on every device power - up. Post Emergency : This Internal MPTP Command is run automatically every time the device changes from Emergenc y mode to Post Emergency mode . Phone number is the recipient of SMS based MPTP message. Command is the actual MPTP command to be executed . Refer to TWIG Integrator Kit ( TWIG MPTP Specification ) for details. As an example, automatic tracking can be started when Emergency cycle is passed. The use of this mode requires that Post Emergency Mode is set ON in SOS Settings . 13. Man D own A l arm ManDown al arm is a sensor - based aid to triggering SOS cycle also when the user is incapacitated and can no longer raise alarm by pressing SOS key . In order to minimise false alarms or missing alarms, the ManDown alarm settings need to be carefully matched with the usage scenario and environment. The user needs to be trained on ManDown function and also on understanding its limitations. Sensor Mode OFF : ManDown is always off . ON : Man Down is always on when Protector is turned on. Enabled ON : M an D own is turned on when Protector is turned on, but user can toggle mode off/on with key 4. Enabled OFF : M an D own is not turned on when Protector is turned on, but user can toggle mode on/off with key 4. Note that if GPS Motion Sensitiv ity i s enabled, ManDown al arm cannot be used and settings are greyed out. Normal Status D elay D efines for how long the device needs to be back in the normal orientation/movement before normal status is restored. Normal Status D elay is useful to prevent

HF Auto A nswer : C alls from this number a re automatically answered in hands - free (Speaker Phone) mode . Note that Speaker P hone – mode is very loud and its use must be carefully considered. Note! Automatic Answer – s etting in General S ettings is overridden by White List when Call or SMS+Call is selected. A mix of allowed and blocked numbers can be defined, but if list has only blocked calls it blocks all calls. GPRS messaging is not controlled by White List but by GPRS and Servers – settings. R egardless of White List settings the device can be reset to factory defaults by specific over - the - air commands (SMS or GPRS) when device details are known. 11. GPRS S ettings GPRS settings can be programmed remotely from the central station over MPTP SMS messages (as TWIG WebFinder S P does) , or they can be programmed locally . When GPRS settings have been programmed remotely, care must be taken not to interfere with remote settings when using TWIG Configurator. This section only defines mobile operator's GPRS connection settings. Serv ers – section defines IP servers ' settings. GPRS Mode Defines if GPRS is used or not . De fault is OFF . Note that also U ser ID must be defined in Servers in order to use GPRS telematics. APN Mobile operator's Access Point Name for GPRS communication. Define the entire APN value in the field. Typically GSM operators allow the APN to be left empty or replaced with "internet". You can get the correct APN from your mobile operator. GPRS User N ame If your mobile o perator requires a user name for GPRS login, define the name here. GPRS P assword If your mobile operator requires a password for GPRS log - in, define the word here. GPRS DNS 1 - 2 Some GPRS networks require that primary domain name server (DNS1) is specifie d. Define the DNS as an IP address. Maximum length for DNS1 name is 16 characters. In most cases this should be left blank GPRS International Roaming B locking If set, GPRS connection is disabled when roaming outside home network. If not set , GPRS connect ion is available also during international roaming. Default is OFF. The value is checked every time when creating GPRS connection. Caution! A llowing GPRS data roaming may result in very high data costs charged by your mobile operator. Note! Device may roam also in your own country , close to country boarders. 12. IP Servers ID ID is a number or text string used for uniquely identifying the device by the Central Station GPRS server. Typically this is the phone number of the TWIG device. ID is not needed if GPRS is only used for AGPS. Service Number (Backup SMS Number) Phone number where MPTP messages are sent as SMS, in case GPRS Mode is enabled but GPRS connection is not available. If Service Number – field is empty, then the SMS backup function is disabl ed (default). Some limitations may apply. For example, real - time tracking (TRR) is not possible via SMS. Caution! Activating Service Number may result in high SMS transmission costs. GPRS Connection Mode Defines how the GPRS connection to server is kept a ctive: Only Reconnect : The Reconnect – mode is used at all times. Device makes GPRS connection to server at Reconnect Intervals , and receives any pending messages from server. Messages from device to server are transmitted without delay.
8. TWIG Configuration Guide YZ3501 - 0 8 - EN All rights reserved. © Twig Com Ltd. 2011 - 201 7 8 When SOS ACK is enabl ed, an MPTP ACK to a SOS message must be received from that Central Station within SOS ACK Response Time , or this SOS Event will fail. Event Group : Order number of SOS Event Group , for implementing parallel alarm sequence branches. For linear alarm sequence, define value 1 (default) for all SOS Events . Name is only for reference and not shown on screen. Linear Alarm Sequence SOS E vents ar e executed one after other , in their numeric order (1 to 10). All SMS messages are sent first before the first call (if any) is being made . I f several calls are defined , the calling chain is continued according to Alarm Call Continue . Branched Alarm Sequence SOS Events are branched into parallel SOS Event Groups , executed in their numeric order (1 to 9) . Within each SOS Event Group , the SOS Events are executed in their numeric order (1 to 10). If all SOS Events in a ny SOS Event Group are successfully completed, the whole alarm sequence is considered successful and ended. If an SOS Event Group fails, the alarm cycle proceeds to the next SOS Event Group . Alarm Call Continue As soon as a call in the SOS Events – list is answered, the cycle will stop making further calls, if Alarm Call Continue is OFF (default). An answering machine will also stop making further calls, despite no person has yet been reached. If Alarm Call Continue is ON, all calls in the SOS Events – li st will be made, whether the prior calls are answered or not. All calls are also made, whether they belong to parallel SOS Event Group s or not. TWIG Self - Test ( DIN0825 ) S ettings Enabled : On device power - up, initiates Self - T est for device SOS key , ManDown function , TWIG Button and TWIG Beacon, and sends Self - Test report to Central Station. Wait ACK controls Self - Test procedure: ON : Device will not proceed from Self - Test to normal operation mode, until it receives Self - Test acknowledgement from Central Sta tion. OFF : Device will proceed from Self - Test to normal operation mode as soon as it has successfully completed Self - Test and sent Self - Test report to Central Station. Power Off When D ocked Defines if unit is sending a request to power off when set to desk charging station CTA 81 ("dock") . Power O ff – command is sent from Central Station . 9. Assistance N umbers Here you define the action when the numeric keys on the TWIG Protector are pressed. If you program only one number per button the action is either call or MPTP assistance (!ASS) SMS depending on which is configured. If both numbers are defined both actions are done. In TWIG Protector Easy and TWIG Embody only first pair of numbers is used to trigger call/SMS with the Green SEND key. In devices where there is no function e.g. TWIG Asset Locator the fields have no value. Programming "GPRS" (without "") as the SMS number the !ASS message will be sent over GPRS telematics. Note that if a key is used for some other control , e.g. to toggle ON/OFF ManDown or Amber alert , assistance call function is disabled. ́ 10. White L ist White List controls authorization of incoming SMS and/or voice call to perform automatic actions. If White List Mode is enabled , all authorised numbers must be listed, otherwise messages and calls will be rejected. White List Mode Disabled : White List is not used for authorising numbers. SMS : All incoming MPTP SMS messages are screened. Call : All incoming calls are screened. SMS+Call : All incoming MPTP SMS messages and calls are screened. White List Item s (1...16) Phone : SMS or phone number to be authorised. LOC : Authorise location request SMSs from this number. TRG : Authorise tracking request SMSs from this number. CALL Voice calls from each White List number can be individually screened: Blocked : C alls from this number are blocked . Allowed : C alls from this number are allowed to ring .
6. TWIG Configuration Guide YZ3501 - 0 8 - EN All rights reserved. © Twig Com Ltd. 2011 - 201 7 6 Sleep time Defines how frequently GPS is updating position while not controlled by other processes like tracking. Time interval can be set between 0...18 h :12 min : 25 sec. Default value is 3 min 20 seconds . 0 means that GPS is permanently turned ON. Motion Sensitive Defines if the GPS is controlled by motion sensor. If = ON, GPS is turned off to save battery whenever detected movement is lower than the defined [mG] valu e in Motion Sensitivity item. Note that if this option is selected ON, you cannot use Man Down alert functions Motion Sensitivity Define s how much device must move to trigger GPS ON . TWIG AGPS Benefits of using AGPS It is generally recommended to use AGPS (As sisted GPS) to improve GPS position availability and thus maximise chance of having current device position e.g. in case of user emergency. GPS system typically offers no position availability indoors, and degraded position availability when moving from in doors to outdoors ("first fix"). AGPS may speed up first fix and improve position availability. Note! In order to use TWIG AGPS :  GPRS Mode must be ON .  M obile subscription must have GPRS/IP service on.  M obile operator GPRS setting must be correct. Typically it is enough to set APN = "internet". AGPS Mode OFF : No AG P S is activated. ON : Recommended for all compatible device models. Typical monthly GPRS/IP data usage : 3 MB. Cost of using AGPS There is no fee for using the TWIG AGPS. Caution ! Each mobile operator charges for GPRS/IP data transfer according to their current rates and policies . Beware of data cost especially when roaming. 8. T WIG SOS Settings SOS Cycle SOS cycle is a series of emergency calls and messages triggered by pressing the SOS key or automated via e.g. ManDown alarm SOS Key Activation M ode Selects how the SOS key is used to activate the SOS cycle : Disabled : The SOS key cannot be used. Long Press Two Presses Post Emergency Mode Enables the Post Emergency Mode . During Post Em ergency Mode , for example , GPRS /IP connection is kept on , incoming calls are blocked, and Post Emergency Beep is sounded to help locating the user. Note! In TCP90EU devices, u ser cannot activate an other alarm until he ends Post Alarm Mode with RED END key. Alarm Call C ontinue Forces the emergency cycle to process all calls even if the preceding call is successful. A ll calls must be successfully made before stopping the emergency cycle. Default is OFF. Power - Off key D isabled Blocks the user from turning off the uni t with power key. Default is OFF . SOS ACK Enable : If enabled, SOS ACK acknowledgement MPTP message is expected from ARC within SOS ACK Response Time . SOS ACK Response Time ( Value ) : D efines for how long the device will wait for MPTP acknowledgement message from the EMG message recipient , before proceeding to next number in the SOS Events list. Emergency Number Text Defines the text for prompting user to call network emergency number, for example when no SIM card is inserted or n o roaming network is available. Default text is " 112 " . Note ! Emergency Number T ext is only displayed to user , and does not affect dialling. Call will be made to public emergency service. No position is sent.
11. TWIG Configuration Guide YZ3501 - 0 8 - EN All rights reserved. © Twig Com Ltd. 2011 - 201 7 11 cancelling TWIG SOS by accident. Range is 1 - 5 seconds. Default value is 1 second. Alerts W hen Set the ManDo wn criteria , for triggering TWIG SOS (default is Horizontal ) : Horizontal : TWIG SOS is launched when device main axis orientation deviates from absolute upright position by more than Tilt A ngle (in degrees) . Device movement has no effect. Vertical : TWIG SOS is launched when device beam axis orientation deviates from absolute upright position more than Tilt A ngle (in degrees ). Device movement has no effect. Typical application is wearing the device on the belt, in a horizontal carrying case. See Appendix A: Man Down Angle s Illustrated , for visualisation of device orientations for alert and no alert. No Movement : TWIG SOS is launched when detected device movement (acceleration) falls below a threshold value defined by Motion Sensitivity . Device orientation has no effect. Horizontal + Motion Sensitivity Enabled : TWIG SOS is launched when device main axis orientation deviates from absolute upright position more than Tilt Angle (in degrees), AND detected device movement (acceleration) falls below a threshold value defined by Motion Sensitivity . Vertical + Motion Sensitivity Enabled : TWIG SOS is launched when device beam axis orientation deviates from absolute upright position more than Tilt Angle (in degrees), AND detected device movement (acceleration) falls below a threshold value defined by Motion Sensitivity . Motion Sensi t i v ity : Enable : Add s movement criteria to orientation criteria, see Alerts When above. Value : The threshold amount of detected device movement ( acceleration ) , used to indicate either motion activity or motion inactivity . Range is 20 ... 999 mG. Default value is 100 mG. (1G = 9,8 m/s 2 ). No Alarm D uration: When ManDown sensor de tects alarm - triggering condition ( Vertical / Horizontal / No M ove ment ), this setting defines a waiting time during which the sensor is waiting for the normal status to be restored, before actually triggering the Pre - A larm and finally alarm. This is useful to prevent unnecessary alarms for example in cases where the user has fallen down or sits down but is otherwise fine. Range is 1 sec...18h : 12 min : 14 sec. Default value is 30 seconds. Pre - a larm D uration: Once Man Down sensor has detected an alarm - t riggering condition and No A larm Duration has passed , device enters Pre - Alarm period. During Pre - a larm the user is alerted by sound and vibration (according to sound and vibration settings in Generic Settings / Environments ). When Pre - a larm period is over, and normal orientation/movement has not been restored, TWIG SOS is launched. Range is 1sec ... 18 h : 12 min : 14 sec. Default value is 30 seconds. Tilt Angle (Man Down Angle) Defines the tilt angle (in degrees) the device must tilt, before its orientation is deemed to change from Vertical to Horizontal . Default value is 45 degrees. 14. Ambe r Alert ( Condition Check , Timer Alarm ) Amber a lert is a n effective timer - based aid to triggering TWIG SOS when facing high - risk "code yellow" scenarios , also when the user is incapacitated and can no longer raise alarm by pressing SOS key . Interactive Amber a lert can also aid triggering alarm at Alarms Receiving Centre (ARC), in scenarios where loss of mobile network coverage is anticipated and transfer of SOS from TWIG device to ARC is thus compromised. Interactive Amber a lert , when chosen, requires ca reful integration with the ARC system, in order to effectively manage lone worker risks. Amber A lert Mode OFF : Amber a lert is disabled, and cannot be be activated by the user (default) . INTERACTIVE : Main alarm timer, upon expiration of which "code yellow" turns to "code red", is to be implemented by the ARC system. The benefit of this architecture is that alarm will be raised at ARC also in case the TWIG device loses mobile network coverage after setting Amber a lert. There is a local timer on TWIG device, set at the same time with the ARC timer and with the same expiry duration, informing user through Pre - a larm when it is time to re activate or turn off Amber a lert. Following the Amber a lert activation by user, activation request is sent to ARC Activation P hone Number , either as MPTP SMS or GPRS message, or as voice call . A mber a lert is only started when device receives an activation confirmation ( ACK ) from ARC Activation Phone Number , a fter which an activation indication (IND) is sent to ARC. Amber alert is reactivated the same way as it is started the first time.
5. TWIG Configuration Guide YZ3501 - 0 8 - EN All rights reserved. © Twig Com Ltd. 2011 - 201 7 5 Reconnect Interval . If tracking is activated, tracking update messages are sent only when device is moving and awake. Whenever movement stops (detected movement is below GPS Motion Sensitivity [mG] ), device goes to sleep after 5 minutes. Medium (Sensor) with LCD off : Same as Me dium, but device display is off. Heavy (Timer): Only applicable to TWIG Asset Locator. The device wakes up only to the Power ON key, or after GPRS Reconnect interval or active tracking interval has elapsed. Service Center Number Defines the SMS number where generic Mobile Originated MPTP messages such as low battery or docking & undocking notifications are sent. The same number is also aut horised to transmit remote configuration via SMS. If GPRS is used type " GPRS " (without "") instead of SMS number. Generic Vibra mode D efines whether vibrator is used on generic notifications. A separate setting exists for vibrator use in Emergency functi ons Automatic A nswer Disabled : All incoming calls are allowed and they are shown to user as incoming call (default). Enabled : All incoming calls are automatically answered. Block All Incoming Calls : Incoming calls are not received and not shown to user. Note! If white list is in use, its handling of calls or calls and SMS's will override this setting. Incoming call reject/end Defines if user can reject/end incoming call with END key . Allowed: Denied : Status M essages Define if the TWIG device transmits status message s to Service Center , informing of various events. Low Batter y – message is sent when device battery level declines to limit value, selectable between 20 , 40 or 60 percent of full battery charge. Default is O FF . Note that battery levels can vary substantially when using the device, particularly with timer functions. This may cause false or repeating Low Battery alarms. Docked – m essage is sent when TWIG device is placed in charging station CTA81 ("dock") and U ndocked – message when device is picked up from charging station. Default for both is OFF. Power On – message is sent when device is switched on, and Power Off – m essage when user turns off the device or it turns itself off due to low battery. Default for both is OFF. Note that if docking/undocking or power on/power off events happen within 1 minute , the latter status message may be lost. ManDown On/Off – message is sent if user toggles ManDown function on or off . User authorisation to switch Ma nDown function on or off can be set in Man Down settings. Charging Station Actions Turn Off when Placed To Charging station = ON Device turned OFF when device placed o n charging station . Turn On When Removed From Charging station =ON Device turned ON whe n device removed from charging station 6. GSM Lost GSM B eep tone interval Enable BEEP tone s , sounded in case the re is no mobile network signal, or registering to mobile network fails. Default is OFF. Tone Interval : Time interval between BEEPs [seconds]. 7. GPS /GNSS Max GPS /GNSS S earch T ime Defines for how long GPS is trying to get a refreshed position after receiving a position request. If the refreshed position is not acquired within that time, device sends position update using the previously stored last know n position. Vali d values for GPS S earch Time are between 2...10 minutes . Default value is 5 minutes . If the value is low, unit may not get position at all in poor satellite conditions. If the time is set long and unit is in poor satellite conditions it may unnecessarily increase power consumption and thus decrease operating time.

Device I nformation and S ettings The Device Info box displays details on your TWIG device, including the serial number, IMEI code as w ell as the device firmware versions and installed modules. You can access various sett ings groups by clicking on the setting groups in the left window . Note that TWIG device settings are case sensitive. If there are wrong characters or other invalid values entered in a data field, those are ignored and default value is used instead. Depending on device hardware version, firmware version and configurations, all settings may not be available . Please contact TWIG Support if in doubt. No te ! I f the device has already been configured remotely from a central station (for example TWIG WebFinder SP ), care should be taken not to interfere with the remote settings when using TWIG Configurator. Device Control Reboot Device – button restart s the unit . Reboot is n eeded after uploading settings to device by Write to d evice – button. Use then Read from d evice – b utton to reload new saved settings from device back to TWIG Configurator application. Factory Set – button restore s factory default settings. Set Password – button gives access to managing device settings password. D evice N ame : Program device name. D isplay C ontrast : - slide changes device screen contrast. The value is unique to each unit and is pre - progra mmed in the factory. Device Settings Write to d evice – button saves the current settings from the TWIG Configurator application to device. Note! Use Reboot Device after uploading settings by Write to d evice – button, to ensure all settings take effect. Re ad f rom d evice – button reads all the settings currently in the device to TWIG Configurator application. This overwrites all data field values in TWIG Configurator 4. Managing settings files You can save device settings from TWIG Configurator to a PC file as well as read dev ice settings files from PC to TWIG Configurator. Caution! Settings files saved from TWIG Configurator 3. 17 are NOT cross - compatible between device types TUP91EU, TUP90EU and TCP90EU. Read f rom f ile reads settings from a .twig – file to TWIG Configurator. This overwrites all data field values in TWIG Configurator. Save to f ile write s the current settings values in TWIG Configurator to a .twig – file. 5. Gener al S ettings PIN Code Stores 4 - digit PIN code for device SIM card. Default value for TCP90EU – device i s 9999 . PIN Code can be managed either by entering here the correct code, or disabling the PIN code in the SIM card. Disable PIN by placing the SIM card in a compatible mobile phone, and by turning of f the PIN query. If PIN c ode is defined incorrectly, the SIM Failure Symbol will be display e d when device is powered on. After three failed attempts, the SIM card will be blocked. If your SIM card gets blocked, you need a PUK code (8 digits) to open it. Remove the SIM card from th e TWIG device and install it into a mobile phone compatible with your SIM card. When trying to open the phone, it will prompt you for the PUK code. After entering the PUK code, key in a new PIN code. You can then install the SIM card back to your TWIG devi ce. If you fail to key in the correct PUK code 10 times in a row, your SIM card will be permanently blocked. If this happens, contact your network operator to get a new SIM card. Generic application sound level Defines the volume level that is used to play warning, notification and incoming call tones. Value can be set from 1 to 5, or if value 0 is used tones are not used at all. Default value is 3. Sleep Mode (Power Saving Mode ) Sleep Mode controls how the device sleeps and wakes up. This can substantially affect battery operating time. Note that if Sleep Mode selection is other than Normal then GPS Motion Sensitivity and ManDown functions are disabled. Normal: Device does not enter "deep sleep" at all. D evice uses timers (such as GPS Max Search Time , GPS Sleep Time , GPRS Reconnect Interval ) to control operation and current consumption. Medium (Sensor): Device wakes up after GPRS Reconnect Interval has elapsed, or whenever it moves (detected movement is greater than GPS Motion Sensitivity [mG] ). As long a s device is awake it is controlled normally by GPS Max Search Time , GPS Sleep Time and GPRS
7. TWIG Configuration Guide YZ3501 - 0 8 - EN All rights reserved. © Twig Com Ltd. 2011 - 201 7 7 Event Start D elay Defines a delay used between events in SOS cycle. Depending on the network , this delay may need to be substantial since network may reject calls made in fast sequence. If there are only SMS numbers in the SOS cycle the delay can typically be shorter. Full SOS Cycles Defines the numbe r of full TWIG SOS event cycles to be done. Range is 1 – 5. Default is 1. Call T imeout Defines the timeout to skip to next event on SOS list if no answer from B - subscriber. Post Emergency B eep Defines the time interval between "locate me" – beeps. Range is 0 - 250 seco nds. Default is 0 which means t h e beep is disabled. SOS Vibrator E nabled Define s if device will shortly vibrate at the exact moment when Pre - Alarm ends and TWIG SOS starts, following user pressing device SOS key , or TWIG Button , or ManDown triggering alarm. Default is ON . Note that SOS Vibrator Enabled only applies to this special case. Generally vibrator is controlled in General Settings Display Defines if TWIG SOS is sent without showing actions on device screen. If disabled, only a small icon on the info line on top of screen indicates ongoing alarm . This allows discrete or hidden TWIG SOS. Default is ON . END Key Timeout Defines if TWIG SOS can be ended once started. 0 means it can only be ended from remote center by hanging up the call. Default is 1 second . Activation Method Timeout Defines the period how long SOS key need to be press ed before alarm cycle started. (1...5 seconds Protector, Embody and Protector Easy 2...5seconds ) Cancellation P eriod Defines the period (0..20 seconds) when the SOS cycle can still be cancelled if activated from SOS key . Default is 0 which disables the cancellation possibility. GPS /GNSS On T ime Defines how long the GPS wil l be kept on in full pow er after the started SOS cycle . SOS Texts Define t he text string in EMG message identifying each possible alarm trigger type: SOS key : A larm triggered by device alarm button . Default value is " SOS KEY ". ManDown : Alarm triggered by ManDown function. Default value is "MANDOWN ALARM ". TWIG Button : Alarm triggered by TWIG Button wireless RF remote SOS button. Default value is "REMOTE". Amber Alert : Alarm triggered by Amber a lert (timer alert, condition check). Default value is "CONDITION CHECK". Ripcord : Alarm triggered by Ripcord. Default value is " RIPCORD ALERT ". Maximum length of text string is 1 characters (TCP90EU 15 characters ) . O nly characters 0 - 9, A - Z and a - z are valid . No special characters are allowed. S OS Events TWIG SOS initiates an alarm sequence, controlled by a list of up to 10 confi gurable SOS Events . SOS Event T ype Call : Phone call is made to Phone Number . SMS MPTP : SMS message is sent to Phone Number , in MPTP format. SMS messages sen t before calls . Position is based on GPS/GNSS . SMS MPTP (GPRS/IP): When Phone Number is "GPRS" (without ""), a larm MPTP message is sent over GPRS/IP to IP Server Position is based on GPS/GNSS A larm MPTP message i s sent over GPRS before making C all . This does not delay the c all more than a few seconds. If GP RS connection is not possible, c all only will be made. Because SMS transmission is in many circumstances more reliable than GPRS, it is recommendable to always define at least SOS Events using SMS messages. SOS Event Values Phone Number : Defines SMS/Call number, or " GPRS " (without "" ) . Event Retries defines how many times a failed SOS E vent is retried before moving to next one.

Select from any number of our renowned planners today to help begin your planning.


Welcome back to my note guide on the HubSpot Academy Inbound Certification section on Inbound Sales. If your business is not implementing these Inbound Sales best practices, you'll be leaving money on the table!
-Research your leads. Consider company size, annual revenue, products or services sold, their clients and prospects, role in the company, and if there are any other key players involved.
-Research current events, funding, upcoming events. Gain knowledge but also rapport and legitimacy.
-Determine if you are targeting an internal or external referral or if you are looking for the decision makers.
a) Build rapport with leads, develop trust, showcase knowledge.
Put education of your lead ahead of your own initiatives.
People don't remember the sales process but the experience!
b) Know your audience. Inbound point of contact rarely the decision maker.
c) Speak their language including industry terms and names.
-Be a sales educator and listen. Make your company human and become a trusted advisor. Empathize. Discuss relevant issues from their industry and similar clients.
-Root- specific reason you are calling. Prospect gains context to why you're calling.
-Open Loop- unfinished thought you can always fall back on later in the call. Statement without details or solution yet.
-Throwaway Question- question to get prospect to say no.
-Thematic positioning statement- expression of how a given product, service, or brand fills consumer's need vs competition.
1) The Root which contains reference to talking to others about their same issue. Adds social proof to the statement.
-Leave voicemail first then follow up with email.
-Use their name, Reintroduce yourself, context for calling, research you've done on their company, how you can help.
-"Do you have a few minutes to connect?"
-If they don't pick up or respond now leave another vmail or email, but offer them something of value.
-Final follow up voicemail or email. "Last time you'll contact"
-Analyzie if no response and determine possible reasons.

During the winter season, the harsh climate that is accompanied with it has a propensity of causing a boatload of problems other than creating a hostile and unpleasant environment.
Business owners who continue to adopt a legacy PBX system are the ones who have the luck in their business struck out because the harsh climate not onlyends upmaking the call quality extremely choppy, but in majority of the cases, legacy phone cables can also snap since the cold weather contracts these cables to the point that they can easilybe disconnected from one, or both ends.
However, the problems that are associated while maintaining a legacy PBX connection will not be the same if the business owner adopts a hosted PBX system.
Hosted PBX systems comprises up of three main characteristics that allow it remain completely functional, even in the harshest of environments. Let us take a look at the characteristics.
Legacy systems present one unbearable feature; employees have to stay at their current position (which can also mean the office premises). However, during the winter season, the daily hours that an employee spends at the office can exponentially increase because the choppy call quality being delivered by the traditional business phone system will be interfering with the overall productivity of the organization.
Due to poor service, employees will hardly be able to keep up with their clients, further killing efficiency and the goodwill of the organization. With a hosted PBX system, not only will the call quality be immaculate, but employees will not be required to spend excruciatingly long hours at the office.
Unlike legacy PBX systems, the only equipment that will be present at the office premise will be calling paraphernalia such as IP Phones. As for the remainder of the equipment; it will be present at the service provider's location.
In other words, employees will no longer have to worry about poor call quality as the equipment running at the off-site location will be handled by adept engineers and technicians who will make sure that the phone systems are running at the optimum functionality.
Being able to hold against the storm can only mean one thing for hosted PBX systems and business owners; overall reduced costs and an improved customer satisfaction rate. During the winters, there is a high probability that legacy phone systems can snap due to the copper wire contracting inside of it.
If the business owner is lucky enough, he will be able to hire a technician (most technicians are unable to offer their services due to the harsh weather conditions) who most likely charge them will a ridiculous quota, and even then, it is not guaranteed that the phone lines will be working properly.
If users switch to Wavetel's hosted PBX solutions, not only will the thoughtof sporadic service breakdowns cease to exist in their minds, but they will also keep their cost variables down to a minimum and keep customers happy for the foreseeable future.


It's that time of year again. Bright lights, extravagant decorations and holiday cheer are here—along with the challenge of finding the perfect gifts for everyone on your list. To help you out, we checked in with some of our favorite locals to see what they're giving this year. From tote bags that make a statement to custom-made cookies to membership at some of the City's—and the world's—best museums, each offered different take on what makes the greatest present. But on one thing they agree: New York City is the place to shop this season.
3. Elsa Peretti silver pens on a cord from Tiffany & Co.
3. Tote bag from Stella McCartney. She's cruelty free and this present's for me!
4. Custom-made cookies from Eleni's. Everybody loves a fancy cookie, and these look so amazing you almost don't want to eat them. Almost!
5. A weekend at the St. Regis hotel. What better way to spend a romantic weekend than in the lap of luxury?
1. I'm taking my whole family to see the Radio City Christmas Spectacular.
3. Ice skates and day of skating at the Pond at Bryant Park—it can be romantic for just the two of you, or take the kids and all their friends.
4. I take a big tin of Garrett Gourmet Popcorn to every holiday party. It reminds me of Chicago, my hometown….and I love it.
2. Theater tickets and my book, Fashion Inside Out, from Barnes & Noble, for both parents—they're coming to NYC for Christmas this year!

2019.02.05 SOTU 2019
The State of the Union speech was a little late (thanks to Nancy's shutdown), but it got delivered. Trump took the high road, Nancy/Dems took the lower one. Trump got a 76% approval, and higher ratings that 2018 or Obama, on a longer and deeper speech [1]. But FakeNews NBC called it a "Theater of the Absurd". And the Fake FactCheckers at NYT, Politico, NPR and WaPo all proved their bias in their counter-factuals.[2]
The Speech
The speech covered a lot of points and was long, with varying degrees of success. But remember if you want to anger a Republican, tell them a lie. If you want to piss off a Democrat, tell them the truth. Nancy was pissed, playing with her dentures, and reading from some papers she brought just to show contempt and disinterest for the cameras (in the spirit of bipartisanism). That will play well for the far left, but I think the rest of the nation will get the dems contempt, loud and clear. A little order munging (as he intro'd and then later came back to some topics), but here's the topics covered:
Domestic Policy:
Calls on unity and to end stalemate and make progress. No different than Obama, Bush or Clinton did, except he has far more justification with the dems "resist the republic" position. The Dems/Press hated his better delivery, because Trump.
Infrastructure - which I disagree with. That should be the job of the states.
Healthcare - reduce costs (instead of ACA's over doubling of them).
Talked about WWII veterans, Astronauts and Heroes, to get the cloud pumped about the good Americans do.
End partisan fake investigations (that haven't found anything)
Stop blocking judicial nominations -- something the Dems love to do.
Pass legislation with more transparency in drug/insurance pricing, and throwing in some more money for AIDS/HIV research, Childhood cancer, as sweetens to the legislation.
School Choice & Paid Family Leave
Barbs against NY's barbaric 4th trimester abortion law that Democrats cheered. Instead asking congress to ban abortion at viability.
We will never be a socialist nation
Touted achievements:
600K manufacturing jobs (after Obama said they were gone forever and never coming back). 340K jobs last month alone (double expectations).
Rising wages
5M taken OFF food stamps (instead of Obama's adding 11.6M to SNAP)[3]
Double the GDP growth as when he took office.
African American, Hispanic, Asian and disabled American unemployment at all time low. Highest labor participation in history. We also need to work on problem with anti-semitism (cue story of heroes stopping Jewish massacres and Holocaust survivor). Not exactly sound like a racist the media pretended he was.
Massive tax cuts for the working folks, small businesses, and estate taxes (that the media had lied about and said only helped the rich).
U.S. now #1 producer of Oil and natural gas, net energy exporter -- all things Obama had resisted.
They passes legislation on Farm Bill, VA reforms and accountability, and Criminal Justice Reform. (Cue the victim of over-aggressive sentencing: Alice and her new life on the outside). And talk about more reforms in the future to reduce the injustice on African Americans. (So much for Trump the racist canard).
Fair trade -- which isn't the protectionism the media has been selling the gullible. Just the ability to reflect back the anti-American-Trade practices back on any country that does the same to us, to protect American workers from UNFAIR competition.
He went into China later, with how China behaves poorly. Also NAFTA that he helped re-negotiate as USMCA, and get better terms. And his USRTA (US Reciprocal Trade Act -- to allow us to tax them back at whatever rates they tax us).
Secured $100B increases from NATO, and wants to increase military spending, and why we dropped out of a Nuclear Treaty that the Russian were violating anyways (so much for being Putin's Puppet FakeNews).
End foolish wars -- seek peace
Broke ISIS, got us out of Syria
Working to finalize getting us out of Afghanistan
Got us out of bad deal with Iran, working to get a better one.
Talk of North Korea and progress made, and more coming (Feb 27th meeting)
Venezuela -- he was a leader in recognizing the election corruption and human rights abuses by the Maduro regime.
There is a crisis on southern border. Made the moral/ethical plea to stop aiding (by obstructing) the drug and human/sex traffickers on our southern border, and gave out facts and stats that will never convince the left of anything, since they care more about politics than human suffering:
1 in 3 women is sexually assaulted while coming north because we have an open border
Smugglers use migrant children as pawns/cover
10's of thousands of innocent Americans are killed by drugs smuggled though those open borders
MS-13 is in 20 states, uses those routes, and murders innocents (like happened the other day), as are countless others. (Cue victim stories)
ICE made 266,000 arrests of CRIMINAL aliens, charged with 100,000 assaults, 30,000 sex crimes and 4,000 murders. (Cue hero legal-immigrant turned ICE agent, and his record).
Explain common sense: that walls drive illegals to other areas or means, and slows the rates and aids agents wherever they exist. (With examples of where it worked before: San Diego, El Paso, etc).
Ended on a high note of jingoism and cooperation towards the common goal of making America Great (Choosing Greatness).
Leftist reporters were crestfallen, they recognized that it was a good speech that was bipartisan and unifying and covered ground, that their Fake FactCheckers wouldn't find much to argue against, and anything they said would look petty and trite. Even the Women-in-white (protesting Democrat Women) had to applaud many of his pro-women points. And that the Democrats would look petty by working against American interests and this President.... and cue the rebuttal which proved it. [4]
We'll see if it gets anywhere. His ideas do align with polls and Americans, but not the left and Press, who will do logical gymnastics to try to pretzel the truth. But his ignoring the Press and going to the people is pointing out that fear of the media may be overblown. They can fool some of the Democrats all-of-the-time, but not the majority of the public forever. And the majority of the rational public can concede that while his form isn't always the best, his function and goals are usually in a better direction than the alternative.
FakeNews FactChecks
Breitbart (and others) did journalism by fact-checking the fact-checkers[5]. The right enjoys mocking the hypocritical rantings of the leftist media trying to be fair, and proving their values (hypocrisy and double standards), with paraphrased examples like:
NYT claiming "We didn't create 5.3M new jobs... it was 4.9M + 300K in January"
NYT "Immigration is not a crisis just because a record number of families are crossing (buried way down in the article). Why 20 years ago, the total number was worse, right before Bush declared it a national crisis and sent troops to the border".
NYT "Yes, illegal immigration went down 91% in SD after we built a wall and increased border security, but that wasn't ALL because of the wall!"
NYT "Trump lied by saying we've been fighting in the Middle East for almost 19 years, it's actually been 18 years, and that's only 94% of 19 -- and 94% isn't what almost means"
WaPo goes full pedant with, "Trump lied when he quoted Doctors Without Borders claiming 1 in 3 women making the illegal trek are 'sexually assaulted'... because the wording the women used was they were 'sexually abused'"... yeah, big fucking difference there.
Politico one-ups WaPo with, "Trump said 1 in 3, and it's actually ONLY 31%, which is 2 percentage points away from 1 in 3".
NPR isn't going to spend our money to lie to us any less, they go with fact checking something the President didn't even say. Trump said we have more women in congress than ever before. NPR retorts, "that might be true, but he mislead since most are Democrats".... after places like NPR and other FakeNews far-left outlets attacked and undermined Republican Women Politicians out of office (like their respectful treatment of Sarah Palin or Michele Bachmann). They left out the last part, of course.
NYT and Politico's Annie Karni tries to fact Check with attacking Trump because he said "some Dachau survivors thought American Soldiers/Liberators were sent from Heaven", her retort was "Jews don't believe in Heaven"... only to have Rabi's and others say, "Yes we fucking do!"... and nearly 50% of Dachau was filled with political prisoners of other denominations, you clueless ditz. That's what passes for their best and brightest journalist to work the WhiteHouse beat?
CNN picked 19 nits (some mentioned above), but their strongest one was Trump claiming if not for him, we'd be in a war with North Korea. You can't fact check an overstated opinion, you dolts, because can't prove he's wrong -- unless you to all the other possibilities in the multiverse and none of them lead to war. On the bright side, I'm sure in at least one of them, CNN was a respected News outlet.
WaPo whined about Trumps complaints about "ripping the baby from its mother's womb!" (wrt NY's 4th Trimester Abortion law), by claiming that since a Doctor is pretending it is medically necessary (in contrast to science and logic that says birth at that point is easier/safer than abortion for both mother and child), and the baby will be taken out one piece at a time, that it's not really ripping it from her womb... it's more vivisecting it from her womb. What a great defense: it's not torture, it's enhanced interrogation.

The headlights on your 2005 Ford Focus should be checked every six months to make sure that the headlights are functioning normally. Ideally, replacement of the headlights should be done during the day; however, this is not always possible. Replacement headlights for the Focus can be purchased from most auto parts stores. You will need to use the part number on the back of the old headlight as a reference for the replacement headlight because different manufacturers use different part numbers.
Open the hood of your 2005 Ford Focus. Remove the rubber boot on the back of the headlight assembly.
Squeeze the release tab on top of the power connector running to the back of the headlight ballast.
Pull the connector off the back of the headlight ballast.
Squeeze the tabs on the retaining clip that holds the headlight in place and pull the clip off the back of the headlight.
Turn the headlight counterclockwise and remove it from the back of the housing assembly.
Insert the replacement headlight into the back of the housing assembly and turn the headlight clockwise to lock it into the housing. The rest of the installation is the reverse of removal.
