HUB PEN & WALKER-CLAY RUN FOR CHARITY
Fourteen run to benefit Thompson Island Outward Bound Education Center.
Michelle Peebles, Kaileen Powers, Meghan Roan, Tracey King
BRAINTREE, MASSACHUSETTS (November 2, 2011) – Six Hub Pen Company employees teamed up with five staffers from Hanson, Massachusetts-based distributor Walker-Clay to participate in the Thompson Island Outward Bound Education Center's 10th Annual 4k Trail Run. Three employees from Charles Riverboat Company, a Walker-Clay client, completed the 14-person team. This is the third year the companies have participated together.
Held on September 15, the event began with a ferry ride and concluded with a BBQ dinner celebration and awards ceremony, which was emceed by marathon legend Bill Rodgers. During the race, 728 runners (increased from 572 in 2010) sprung into action for a 4K cross-country style race that traversed 204 acres of rolling hills, forests, meadows, salt marshes and beaches along the trails of the island while featuring a new course that challenged runners to the end with two final hills as they crossed the finish line.
Proceeds benefit Thompson Island Outward Bound Education Center, a not-for-profit organization that provides outdoor adventure and experiential learning programs for young people from diverse economic backgrounds. Each year, funds from the trail run help bring 6,500 young people from greater Boston to Thompson Island to participate in challenging environmental education programs that build self-confidence, leadership and teamwork skills while improving students' academic success.
Employees from each company ran as part of the Corporate Team Challenge to celebrate their professional teamwork and to help build an even better relationship. The top 10 times for each team were combined, averaged and rank ordered to determine the overall fastest teams. The Hub Pen/Walker-Clay team placed No. 16 in a field of 29 teams, with an average time of 21:12.

If You're Thinking of Using This Tinder-Hacking Site, Your Relationship Is Probably Already Over
Saving you hours upon hours of obsessive swiping.
By Michael Sebastian
Want to find out whether your partner is sneaking around on Tinder behind your back?
You could, of course, log on to the app and swipe until you spot her, or rely on intel from your non-committed friends. But the faster option is a new website that lets you search through Tinder users.
The website, Swipebuster, which rolled out last week, charges $4.99 for three searches. You type in a person's first name, age, and gender, and then indicate where he or she is likely using Tinder. Within seconds, the website returns the results, including profile pictures, the last time he or she logged on, and whether this person is seeking men or women. It'll even show you all the results from a specific geographic area.
According to Vanity Fair, Swipebuster taps into publicly available information about its users. "There is too much data about people that people themselves don't know is available," the site's creator told Vanity Fair. (He's trying to remain anonymous, but said he's a newlywed who's never been cheated on.) "Not only are people oversharing and putting out a lot of information about themselves, but companies are also not doing enough to let people know they're doing it."
He's hoping Tinder will notice and make all of this information private.
As for Tinder, a spokeswoman told Vanity Fair in a statement that "searchable information on the Web site is public information that Tinder users have on their profiles. If you want to see who's on Tinder we recommend saving your money and downloading the app for free."

Improving Something That's Already Great!
Posted by Admin Jun - 25 - 2014 Comments Off on Improving Something That's Already Great!
he success of square dancing relies on consistency and abiding by certain rules. When large groups of people are expected to move as a single entity, organization is essential.
However, it is sometimes nice to mix things up a bit. Some dancers enjoy adding variations to their dance. These generally fall into one of three categories: flourishes, sound effects or games.
Flourishes are movements dancers add to their routine or replacements made to traditional steps. These additions are not universal; there are no set guidelines for flourishes. They often vary between groups, clubs and regions.
Examples of common flourishes include doing a highland fling instead of a dosado. Or, dancers might add a twirl after executing a promenade.
Proponents of flourishes boast they add additional opportunities to interact and socialize. However the opponents—and there are many—claim they are too disruptive. In fact, in many groups, flourishes are quite controversial.
Square dancing standards should be upheld at all times.
Adding flourishes will confuse the less experienced dancers.
Those who don't know the flourishes will be disrupted.
Things like unexpected twirls can be dangerous.
Sound effects are much better received than flourishes. And that's a good thing—because sometimes dancers just can't refrain from voicing their enthusiasm!
Common square dancing sound effects include clapping hands, stomping feet, and shouts. These additions are better received because they do not interfere with the execution of the step. Although, newcomers might be shocked by the extra noise!
Often times, the vocal responses coordinate with the original call. For example, the group might shout pink lemonade after hearing Triple Trade (because they rhyme). Or, dancers might yell, "boom" after the caller utters Explode.
Games are another somewhat controversial addition to standard square dancing. A game is anything that is considered breaking the rules. Often times, games are introduced to add an additional level of difficulty to a dance.
However, it is poor manners to include games without receiving permission from the group and the caller.
Games are well received in certain situations. For example, dancing with fewer than eight people is considered a game. However, it allows dancers the opportunity to participate when they wouldn't otherwise be able to.
Hard and fast rules are good—they lend a much needed element of standardization to the dance. However, it is also fun to mix things up every once in a while!

Home General Putting Ashbourne on the Map
Putting Ashbourne on the Map
All these will be launched at 10.30 am from the Ashbourne Tourist Information centre in Ashbourne with four hours of ceremonially unveiling and live music provided by The Bill Bailey Band.
The project which is the inspiration of the Ashbourne Partnership and supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund, Derbyshire County Council, Ashbourne Heritage Society, Ashbourne Rotary Club and Derbyshire Dales County Council, will put Ashbourne Centre stage on the tourist map.
Local Leaders backing Ashbourne ~ Derbyshire County Council Leader Andrew Lewer and former Derbyshire County Councillor Ray Caswell joined forces last year with the Ashbourne Partnership through the Communities Priority Programme to put Ashbourne centre stage on the tourist map. By providing more information on just what Ashbourne has to offer County Councillors hope to encourage visitors to stay longer in the town which will be a boost trade to local shops, businesses and employment prospects.
Part of the project will include new display boards similar in design to those in use in Chester and Stratford upon Avon in a variety of styles to suite the locations and have been specially commissioned. The new town map featuring original art work by well known local artist Sue Prince will show the streets and buildings of Ashbourne in a unique and colourful easy to follow form. They will also include heritage panels created by the Ashbourne Heritage Society describing some of the events, locations and people that have put the quiet market town of Ashbourne centre stage in national events over the centuries and left a legacy of fine buildings and quaint alleys which give a unique experience for the visitor.
Ashbourne to pioneer town guides ~ The Visible Heritage Project not only includes the signs, but the first for the town by providing volunteer tour guides. A group of local history enthusiasts who come from a wide range of backgrounds are all keen to reveal the hidden stories behind the buildings that make Ashbourne such a unique destination. The tours will be offered free of charge to anyone of any age who wishes to learn more about the fascinating stories about the town. The training for the guides is provided by local history enthusiast and expert Danny Wells who is well known for his experience on providing talks and courses celebrating the history of the Derbyshire Dales, Staffordshire Moorlands & London's East End.
Commenting on the tour guides, Danny Wells noted we have a very knowledgeable group of people all willing to give up their time for this exciting project which will put Ashbourne on par with Stratford upon Avon and Chester in providing dedicated guides to explain the stories behind the buildings and the rich heritage that the town has to offer.
Read and learn ~ The history of Ashbourne will also come alive with a new heritage leaflet and panel created by the Ashbourne Heritage Society which will provide visitors and residents a taster of what made the town as it is today.
Plus all generations will be able to learn about the history, as students from Queen Elizabeths Grammar School Art Club have created a leaflet aimed at the younger generation in telling the history of Ashbourne.
Sarah Wolfe, Coordinator for the Ashbourne Partnership said, The last 18 months of planning are coming to an end with the launch of the project on the 27 March, but a great beginning of telling the tale of our unique history. It has been a fascinating journey both learning new facts of Ashbourne, but also working with people and organisations who all feel the passion of bringing the towns history to life and the list of people the Ashbourne Partnership would like to thank is numerous and we would not been able to achieve what we have done without them so thank you to all of you.

You can see why this loft building is one of our favorites in the city, as it is just exactly what comes to mind when you think about what a loft should look like. Wide open spaces, exposed brick, antique industrial windows, polished concrete floors, tall ceilings, exposed ducts, and museum-finish walls. There's an ample kitchen, too, which opens to the main living space to make entertaining easy. Technically, it's considered a one-bedroom, one-bathroom unit, but as you can see, with 1,558 square feet, there's ample room for a home office. It's great for a northeastern transplant looking to buy a space that feels familiar. David Griffin & Co. agent Lori Ericsson has listed No. 209 inside the Canton Loft Condos for $320,000.
Of course, there's more to this Farmers Market loft than what's inside. There's plenty to love up top, too. A full-featured amenity deck on the roof gives you access to a pool, a covered seating area, plus plenty of room to relax and entertain. And considering the building's location, the views of the downtown Dallas skyline are worthy of any urban photography buff. It would be an amazing backdrop for pictures!

Home > Bubanza > Young people of Bubanza province are called for conflict prevention, peacebuilding and ensuring security
BUBANZA November 13th (ABP) – Young people in Bubanza province are called on to go beyond all that differentiates them, namely to detect the good and the bad, in order to avoid the manipulation of malicious politicians, especially during this electoral period. This was said during a two-day workshop (from Monday November 11 to Tuesday the 12th) organized in favor of young people by the Ministry of Youth Affairs, Posts and Information Technologies, at the headquarters of Bubanza province (northwestern Burundi).
The data of that ministry show that in Burundi, young people represent 66% of the Burundian population, and that it is this category of the population that the country needs much more for its security and its development.
Some of the contributions that young people present made for beefing up security and peace include: turning a deaf ear to the ill-intentioned politicians who manipulate them negatively, combination of efforts and synergistic work to make security, peace and development a reality, to develop the spirit of brotherhood, tolerance and trust between them.
Mrs. Janvière Harerimana, director of youth organization coordination in the Ministry of Youth Affairs, Posts and Information Technology, called on those young people to change their mindset and to be good leaders in their respective localities, and organize themselves into self-development associations.
As for the socio-cultural adviser of Bubanza province governor, Mr. Gaspard Nkurikiye, he asks young people to use their intelligence to avoid the manipulation of malicious politicians, especially during this election period.
Note that this training workshop focused on conflict prevention, guaranteeing security and peacebuilding.

'The Fourth Kind' of fake?
By Breeanna Hare, CNN
Milla Jovovich gets meta in "The Fourth Kind," playing the role of "Dr. Abigail Tyler," whose actual existence is questionable.
"The Fourth Kind" is another horror film relying on the "found footage" technique
It uses a split screen of "real footage" and re-enactments starring Milla Jovovich
Officials in Nome, Alaska, where the movie is based, deny those claims, call it science fiction
Viewers think the use of this technique makes for a good scare, but not authenticity
UFOs and Alien Abductions
(CNN) -- "The Fourth Kind" isn't the kind that Nome, Alaska, wants around.
The horror movie tries to say that documented disappearances of Nome residents are the result of alien abductions and that's just Hollywood hooey, said Mayor Denise Michels.
"People need to realize that this is a science fiction thriller," Michels said.
She said town residents have been getting a lot of phone calls lately, and frankly, they're a bit tired of talking about it.
"Some of the calls I'm just ignoring," Michels said, "because the issue we had to deal with in real life was very sensitive. The movie is portraying something like the 'Blair Witch Project,' and we're just hoping the message gets out that this is supposed to be for entertainment."
In real life, there was a string of disappearances in the small town on the west coast of Alaska, not far from the Bering Strait. In 2005, the FBI was brought in to investigate. The victims were largely native men traveling to the town from smaller villages, according to the Anchorage Daily News.
The FBI looked into about 20 cases, finding alcohol and frigid temperatures to be causes. Nine bodies were never found.
"The Fourth Kind," which comes out Friday, uses the disappearances as a jumping-off point for an alien abduction yarn, using "archived footage" to create an atmosphere of documentary realism. It's not a new idea; "The Blair Witch Project" pulled off the concept effectively, and the recent "Paranormal Activity" uses handheld cameras for a cinema verite look.
But unlike "Paranormal," "The Fourth Kind" literally announces its validity, taking Nome's documented unexplained disappearances and making the case for alien abductions.
The film does rely very heavily on the tagline "What do you believe?" letting viewers decide for themselves what's real and what's Hollywood, but it also conflates the two for its convenience.
For example, the title itself is derived from a "scale of measurement" that was "developed in 1972" to categorize alien encounters, best known through its use in Steven Spielberg's "Close Encounters of the Third Kind." (On the scale, the first kind of encounter is defined as a UFO sighting; the second, collected evidence of extraterrestrials; and the third kind is contact.)
However, Paul Halpern, a physics professor at the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, who has studied the possibility of extraterrestrial life, doubts its validity.
"Honestly, I've only ever heard of it through fiction," he said, "not as an actual scientific scale of measurement."
The "fourth kind" is alien abduction, the hardest encounter to prove until now, said NBC Universal, parent company of distributor Universal Studios, in a press release. First time writer/director Olatunde Osunsanmi was unavailable for comment, but according to a fact sheet handed out at screenings, he discovered the disappearances that plagued Nome in 2004 when a friend told him of a Dr. Abigail Tyler.
During sleep studies "in fall 2000, the therapist's patients, under hypnosis, exhibited behaviors that suggested encounters with nonhumans," the statement read.
According to the press material, Tyler recorded footage depicting disturbing scenes, which director Osunsanmi uses alongside re-enactments starring Milla Jovovich and Will Patton in a split screen. To further push the reality bit, Jovovich informs the audience right up front that she "plays the role of Dr. Abigail Tyler," and that the images they are about to see are very disturbing.
"I think that it's fun to have fictional movies about the possibility of extraterrestrial life, but it's important for the public to understand the difference between science and science fiction," Halpern said. "Almost all scientists I know believe that there's no evidence of encounters between humans and alien life forms. Right now, astronomers are [still] trying to find evidence of very simple life forms in space."
Film reviewer Todd Gilchrist said he tried to watch the movie with an open mind.
"I was receptive to the possibility that it could be real, [and] I think that it was convincing enough to make it kind of scary-fun," the Cinematical.com reviewer said.
"Within five minutes of walking out of the movie and talking with my girlfriend and somebody else, the whole movie sort of logically falls apart in terms of authenticity," he said.
But, Gilchrist added, "it's not deceptive; it's what their marketing campaign is."
But why market fiction as truth in the first place?
Found footage and documentary-esque filmmaking changes the atmosphere of a film, Gilchrist said. Instead of walking into a trap a la "Saw," viewers get a "really creepy atmosphere even when nothing is going on." Recently, the latter has been more successful than the former, with "Paranormal Activity" topping the latest "Saw" at the box office.
"People want to see themselves as specifically connected or reflected in entertainment," he said. "Something like 'Paranormal Activity' or 'The Fourth Kind' sort of accesses that desire to be recognized or famous."
For example, by casting Jovovich the movie deliberately pretties up Tyler, which makes the found footage seem all the more true, Gilchrist said.
"The most authentic thing in the movie is how the real woman is much less attractive than Milla Jovovich, which automatically gives that woman's case some authenticity," Gilchrist said. "She's accessible in a normal, human way."
But whether it's real or not, is it scary? It all depends on what you believe, said film reviewer Brad Brevet.
"The audience has to ask themselves, 'Am I going to believe everything is real because Milla Jovovich told me it is?' Your answer to that question decides how effective the rest of the film is going to be," he said. "I was skeptical from the start but [also] questioning, which is one of the reasons I got a few chills."
In Nome, however, Michels wishes people would get a better grip on the difference between fiction and reality, not to mention geography.
"We watched the trailer on the Internet, and the first scenes are these majestic mountains with these trees, which is totally not Nome," she said, laughing. "We're pretty flat, right by the ocean."
According to IMDb.com, "The Fourth Kind" was filmed in Bulgaria.
"What they should've done," Michels said, still laughing, "is premiered here at the local theater."

Redevelopment on leased plots in Mumbai gets easier as BMC simplifies approval process
Source : ET
Tag:Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation ( BMC)|
MUMBAI: Redevelopment projects on Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's ( BMC) leasehold plots is set to become easier, as Mumbai's civic body has simplified the approval process, and more importantly, has also set a time frame for granting permission for such projects.
The earlier complex application procedure and uncertainty over timeframe for these approvals were delaying the entire process. Also with the objective of doing away with agents involved in the procedure for securing these approvals, BMC's estate department has now modified five key applications related to this process. These applications include the procedure for amalgamation of plots leased by the civic body and for granting No Objection Certificate (NOC) for redevelopment of municipal-leased property under Development Control Rules 33(7), which deals with redevelopment of cessed buildings in the island city.
Among the key procedures, the civic body has set a timeframe of 34 days for the amalgamation procedure of municipal leasehold plots. Timeframe for procedure of granting formal no-objection certificate for redevelopment of these plots under cluster development is fixed at 17 days, and the procedure for granting NOC to occupancy certificate for such projects will have to be finished in 20 days.
Industry experts believe that the new simplified system will benefit the consumer, help reduce project delays and eventually make them relatively affordable.
"With certain timelines, everything can be calculated well in terms of cost and time. Developers will also get clarity on the status of applications, or whether the plan needs any modifications, rather than just wait forever. Eventually, the end user and project beneficiaries will be more certain about delivery of projects and they won't get stuck due to policy paralysis. Hope, this gets implemented soon and properly," said Raj Gala Shah, Partner, Zara Habitats, that has been focusing on redevelopment of such leased plots.
The BMC's estate department had undertaken the review of these processes on Municipal Commissioner Ajoy Mehta's instructions.
"It's a good beginning, but this should be linked to Right to Services Act as proper implementation of such policies is crucial for all stakeholders including project beneficiaries," said Manoj Daisaria, an architect, member and former president of Practicing Engineers, Architects and Town Planners Association.
According to reports, the civic body has leased out over 4,200 plots in Mumbai to private entities. These properties have been leased for different use such as residential, educational, charitable and industrial, etc. The period of these leases ranges from 10 to 999 years. Of these, lease for around 230 plots, including the Mahalaxmi Race Course, the Life Insurance Building and Thomas Cook buildings in Fort, have expired about two years ago.
As per the World Bank report in 2014, India ranks 142 out of the 189 countries in terms of ease of doing business, while in terms of dealing with construction permits, India's ranking was as low as 184. The report also states that cost of construction permits in Mumbai consists of over 46% of the total construction cost.

Singapore Exchange to co-operate with China regulators in vetting new S-chip listings
Nov 25, 2013, 10:27 pm SGT
http://str.sg/v8v
Jonathan Kwok
A new approach that involves local and Chinese regulators collaborating to vet potential China listings should improve investor confidence in the S-chip sector, according to the Singapore Exchange (SGX) on Monday.
The reforms could also attract more listing aspirants amid a recent dearth of mainland firms seeking a place on the SGX.
Investors have bailed out of S-chips - China firms listed here - after a spate of corporate governance scandals undermined confidence in the sector.
The so-called "direct listing framework" between the SGX and the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) announced on Monday could turn that sentiment around.
It will allow Chinese-owned companies incorporated on the mainland to seek a listing here once they have obtained the approval of their CSRC regulators.
That would formalise a very straightforward but unpopular route for new China firms that want to list here.
The vast majority of the 140 so-called S-chips listed here via a less direct route. The listed entity is actually a holding company incorporated in a place like Bermuda or the British Virgin Islands, which in turn holds the China assets.
The direct listing framework will now do away with the need for offshore holding vehicles. The process starts with an interested company filing its application with the CSRC and SGX. CSRC will review it before granting approval for the firm to list in Singapore.
The SGX will conduct its own review and green light the listing if the firm passes its tests.

'No way to deny': coalition slammed over Yemen air raid
Jordanian officer vows to kill anyone who approaches border
Syria regime announces government holiday amid snowfall
Family of slain journalist accuse Assad of deliberate killing
The family of reporter Marie Colvin - killed by Syrian regime artillery four years ago - are suing the Syrian government over the 'deliberate killing' of the American journalist.
Around 100 journalists have been killed in Syria since the start of the war [AFP]
The family of an American journalist killed by artillery fire in Syria filed a lawsuit against President Bashar al-Assad's regime, accusing Damascus of deliberately targeting and killing Marie Colvin in attempt to silence journalists and activists in the war-torn country.
Colvin's family submitted a 32-page complaint to the US federal court in Washington on Saturday, accusing high-ranking Syrian officials - including Assad's brother Maher - of tracking and targeting foreign reporters and Syrian locals who assisted them.
The family of the reporter who worked for The Sunday Times of London filed a wrongful-death lawsuit citing witness accounts and uncovered government documents contending that regime forces intercepted Colvin's communication signals to pinpoint her location before striking.
Colvin, 56, was killed in 2012 when her apartment building in the rebel-held neighbourhood of Baba Amr was shelled by regime forces.
The attack had come just hours after she gave a live report accusing the Syrian regime of waging an indiscriminate bombing campaign killing "cold, starving civilians", her family argued.
Her death was described by her sister, Cathleen Colvin, as a cold, deliberate and well-calculated plan by the Syrian regime to kill and silence journalists reporting on war atrocities.
"I'm not the only one who lost a sister," she told The New York Times, "I really do hope that all the perpetrators are brought to justice for war crimes, and hopefully this is the first step."
Although the Colvin lawsuit is likely to take years in courts, if the Syrian regime does not answer to the charges the judge may proceed to make a ruling.
The court can then use some of the millions of dollars in frozen Syrian assets held by the US government in restitution.
Since the start of Syria's war in 2011, around 100 journalists have been killed, the majority by the regime.
While some were caught alongside other civilians and fighters in regime airstrikes, others have been threatened with kidnap and execution at the hands militant groups.

Military Directory
You are here: Home / Virginia Military Bases / Fort Myer Army Base in Arlington, VA
Fort Myer Army Base in Arlington, VA
DSN: 227-1010
Fort Myer, Virginia, has been continuously utilized as an Army facility from its inception during the Civil War to the present day. Fort Myer, Fort Leslie J. McNair and Marine Headquarters, Henderson Hall, were merged under the Joint Base Realignment and Closure initiative as Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall (JBM-HH). Today, Fort Myer provides support services in several capacities to military facilities in the greater Washington, D.C. area, including those in Virginia, Crystal City, The Pentagon and the District of Columbia. It provides support services to members of all branches of the armed forces and their families in the national capital area.
Fort Myer is home to several companies and regiments, including the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard), The United States Army Band "Pershing's Own" and Headquarters U.S. Army Garrison.
Fort Myer traces its history to the American Civil War period, when it and an adjacent area of a portion of what is now Arlington National Cemetery were acquired by Robert E. Lee. First named Fort Whipple after Maj. Gen. Amiel Weeks Whipple, it was renamed after Brig. Gen. Albert J. Myer in 1881 to both honor General Myer and to avoid confusion with another post of the same name in Arizona. Fort Whipple, Virginia, was an important Union Army post in the Civil War, in part because of its high elevation. In 1869, General Myer established the first Signal School of Instruction at the post. In 1887, on the recommendation of Gen. Philip H. Sheridan, it became home to the 3rd Cavalry Regiment and the 6th Field Artillery Regiment.
The post was a testing ground for new military equipment and techniques, including radio telecommunications, military aircraft, the Jeep and simulation of trench warfare. Its post commander's house, built in 1899, was designated as Quarters One in 1908, home to several Army chiefs of staff including Generals George C. Marshall, Douglas MacArthur and Dwight D. Eisenhower.
Fort Myer is listed as a National Historic District and a National Historic Landmark by the U.S. Department of the Interior.
The 3rd U.S. Infantry, also called The Old Guard, the Army's oldest infantry division, is headquartered at Fort Myer and serves as the ceremonial unit for the Washington, D.C. area. The U.S. Army Band and the School of Music are also headquartered at the installation. The band, termed "Pershing's Own," was created by General John Pershing in 1922. Since its inception it has toured the world, performing in war arenas, peacetime venues, and at events of national significance like the funeral and burial of President John Kennedy at Arlington National Cemetery.
Old Post Chapel, part of the National Register District, serves as the ceremonial chapel for Arlington National Cemetery. Almost all U.S. presidents have attended services here since its inception in 1935 under then Major George Patton.
Other major units under the command of the installation include U.S. Army Headquarters, B Company, C Company, D Company and Walter Reed Army Medical Center, E Company, A Company Fort McNair and the Military Police Company. Fort Myer provides national security support to not only the Army, but the Defense Department, housing the 3rd Military Intelligence, CID/Washington District, the National Defense University and White House Communications Agency in this capacity.
Because of the proximity to the greater metropolitan area of Washington, D.C., Fort Myer offers a number of services to active and retired members of all branches of the armed services and their families. The main health care facility is Rader Clinic; however, Walter Reed Army Hospital in Bethesda, Maryland, and Dewitt/Fort Belvoir also provide care to military personnel and their dependents.
Fort Myer has a commissary, post exchange (PX), mini grocery stores or "shopettes" and a packaged beverage store within the facility. A child and youth services program provides full day care for children aged 6 weeks to 5 years and hourly care for those 6 weeks to 4 years. Several other programs for children include sports, social activities and youth development.
The proximity of Fort Myer to major civilian communities in the capital area provides an array of off-post services and support. Children living on the post attend Arlington County Public Schools. More than 30 elementary, middle, high and alternative schools are part of this system. The area also is home to many private schools.
Housing on the facility is limited; a rental partnership program by Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall provides rental options within the national capital region to military personnel and their families.

Q: How to process file uploaded via Dropzone in Drupal? Recently I have been trying to process files uploaded via Dropzone.js in Drupal. I am not using the Drupal API form stuff, just a plain HTML code to generate Dropzone, but I want to process uploaded files using Drupal functions (file_save_upload(), in particular). However, I am not able to "catch" the uploaded file using the function.

A: For some reason, the $_FILES array generated by Dropzone, looks like this:
Array   (
    [files] => Array
        (
            [name] => 5bcb9c.jpg
            [type] => image/jpeg
            [tmp_name] => /private/var/tmp/phpgZHmT8
            [error] => 0
            [size] => 273794
        )   )

However, Drupal's function file_save_upload() is awaiting the $_FILES array in this structure:
Array
(
    [files] => Array
        (
            [name] => Array
                (
                    [files] => 5bcb9c.jpg
                )

            [type] => Array
                (
                    [files] => image/jpeg
                )

            [tmp_name] => Array
                (
                    [files] => /private/var/tmp/php4ebqBs
                )

            [error] => Array
                (
                    [files] => 0
                )

            [size] => Array
                (
                    [files] => 210075
                )

        )

)

so what I had to do was to change the $_FILES variable (yes, I know!) so it matches the structure required by Drupal. It works now, although I do not quite understand why Dropzone generates another structure and Drupal requires other structure of the $_FILES variable. If anyone can elaborate on this, I would be glad. Nevertheless, my solution works.

Bang & Olufsen is auctioning off limited edition Beosound 1 speakers in 5 new colorways
Blair Altland	- Jul. 5th 2018 4:17 pm ET Twitter icon @blairaltland
NewsNew Product
Read more chevron-right
Bang & Olufsen makes some of the more high-end speakers and sound systems on the market, with many of them sporting the company's iconic design alongside critically-acclaimed audio quality. And if B&O's speakers weren't already premium enough for you, they've just launched the Capsule Collection, a series of five limited edition versions fo the company's Beosound 1. Head below to see how you can get your hands on one of the collection's speakers.
Originally debuting back in 2016, Bang & Olufsen's Beosound 1 speaker packs a series of drivers that accomplish 360-degree sound. Of course, the speaker comes packed in B&O's aluminum form factor and boasts Wi-Fi and Bluetooth alongside AirPlay, Chromecast and Spotify support. Much like other speakers in the company's lineup, the Beosound 1 is said to sport the same premium sound quality.
While you can normally expect to pick up one of the high-end speakers for just under $1,500, getting your hands on the company's new alternative colorways won't be as easy as simple as picking up other models from B&O. In partnership with Sotheby's, the two companies will be auctioning off the new version of the speaker.
Originally coming in more minimalistic black and silver finishes, the new variants will sport flashier colors to draw in the eyes of collectors and speaker aficionados.
The new versions of the Beosound 1 are virtually indistinguishable from the original releases, at least when it comes to sound quality and the features that they pack. The only change you'll find are in the looks department, with the exclusive speakers now available in grey, tan, orange, maroon, and pink anodized aluminum finishes.
And while a fresh coat of paint may seem like a small adjustment to justify spending even more on the Beosound 1, the difference is expected to add up to major price change compared to the normal versions. As of now, the one-of-a-kind speakers are estimated to sell for up to $5,000 when it's all said and done, almost over three times the price of the stock version.
Right now you can try your luck to score one of the limited edition Bang & Olufsen Beosound 1 speakers by bidding over at Sotheby's auction. Currently, the five different models have asking bids of around $1,200, but are expected to reach into the $3,000s, at the very least.
[9to5-press-release]
This auction comprises an extremely rare offering of five one-of-a-kind editions of Bang & Olufsen's pioneering BeoSound 1 wireless speaker system. Innovative in both form and function, BeoSound 1 features a sleek conical body that provides exceptional 360-degree sound dispersion. More than just a speaker, BeoSound 1 is a remarkable piece of design. The five lots included in this auction are particularly covetable as each features a unique color that has not been produced beyond these singular examples.
Despite its seemingly simple appearance, BeoSound 1's design is an engineering feat that employs the full breadth of Bang & Olufsen's technical prowess. The speaker's modernist silhouette, created by award-winning industrial designer Torsten Valeur, is sheathed in aluminium — a material that provides unparalleled acoustics but is notoriously difficult to work with. Bang & Olufsen's Danish factory has been at the forefront of aluminium manufacturing since the 1950s, and these five speakers are the culmination of more than a half a century of research and development. The distinctive hues that wash these models are achieved through a complex technique called anodizing. Anodizing aluminium may sound like a standard industrial process, but it is an art form that has been used in the work of visual artists such as Donald Judd and Robert Ryman. These one-of-a-kind collectables were created to celebrate the launch of BeoSound 1 in 2016 and display the mastery of Bang & Olufsen's craftsmen.

Provillus is a non-prescription oral supplement to aid hair growth and reverse hair loss. Provillus for men does this by blocking the production of an androgen called DHT (Dihydrotestosterone), which clogs up hair follicles, leading to increasingly thinner hair an eventual baldness in men.
Provillus also claims to revive dormant or nearly dead hair follicles, which most other hair loss products will not vouch for. Provillus for women uses a slightly different formula which focuses more on cleansing the scalp and supplying nutrients to the hair follicles, enabling scalp hair to grow faster and thicker.
While Saw Palmetto, Nettle and Gotu Kola are common to most hair fall control solutions, the pumpkin seed extracts, which contain carbohydrates, amino acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids are unique to Provillus, and provide a natural form of nutrient supplements to help nourish and revive nearly dormant hair follicles.
Usage: Recommended usage is one to two capsules a day, for about 6 to 8 weeks. If no results are apparent by then, you would likely need to increase the dosage. Provillus for men and women are different products, to be used in different circumstances.
For women, it is mostly to control temporary hair loss due to hormonal changes, such as heavy menstruation or after pregnancy. Provillus for men will block an excess production of DHS by the body, and put a stop to hair loss, while some ingredients of the formula try to trigger increase in the hair growth rate.
Side Effects: According to the company, there are almost no known side effects. No loss in sexual appetite for men, no scalp problems and nothing in their extensive studies hints at any signs of bodily disorder specifically due to the use of Provillus.
Some people may experience mild stomach disorders initially, but as the body gets used to the excess saw palmetto contained in the Provillus solution, these symptoms, if any, will fade away.
That said, the very effectiveness of Provillus, as a hair loss control solution, is in doubt by some people who have used the product and found no apparent change in the rate of their hair loss. No decrease, no increase, no side effects – Nothing.
A lot of their customers have indeed benefited from a significant decrease in hair loss, and even increased hair growth. Point is, that it could go both ways. So maybe you should study the ingredients and consult your physician before you make a decision to opt for Provillus.
As stated above, Provillus is FDA approved, has a 100% money back guarantee and has no known side effects. So, there should be, ideally speaking, no harm or loss, in trying out Provillus.


Today I came home from volunteering in Penelope's class to find a package (or two) waiting for me on my doorstep. I had been excited to get these shorts even though I knew I would not like them.
I excitedly ripped open the package and though I loved the package it came in, my fears were confirmed. I actually disliked them more in real life then in all the photos I had seen plastered throughout social media the last few days. Not only did I not love them, I am pretty sure I don't even like them. Not even a little bit.
The blue is not bright enough and the green is just really ugly. And they are not animal print, they are finger prints which is really cool and works well with the whole spy theme. I honestly have no idea if I will actually wear them but I am not sure I can bring myself to sell them either. Greg thinks I should but who knows if I will or not. I am hoping that the showcase store has something I like to make up for it haha although Greg is hoping for just the opposite haha.
Regardless, the arrival of the shorts and the launch of the SeaWheeze app on May 9th officially signals the training for the race on August 13th. And this I am excited about. I am excited for the race because it's a great route and I am excited to spend 5 days in Vancouver with some of my closest friends.

Advertising Week Europe briefing: Influencer marketing under pressure to show results
Advertising Week 2019
March 19, 2019 by Digiday editors
Chatter among advertisers, publishers, agencies and influencers at Advertising Week Europe indicated that influencer marketing is finally growing up and coming closer to being a more typical media buy. It's a development that's been talked about for a while, but growing concerns over the effectiveness of a form of marketing blighted by fraud and skepticism are pushing more people to make it happen.
"It's so much more important not to just look at likes, follower counts or comments now when measuring influencers because those are very broad things that can be faked, said Ben Jeffries, CEO of marketing consultancy Influencer. "Advertisers need to look behind the data of who's liking and commenting on posts to understand how an influencer has actually performed."
Rather than focus on fake followers as a proxy for the reach it buys, Unilever wants to pay influencers on the performance they deliver, the advertiser's senior global brand manager Turker Bilgin said in a session at the event. That means paying closer attention to aspects such as the length of time followers spend on a post and whether they send direct messages to the influencer, all of which requires having a relationship that allows them to access that data from the influencer. Doing so has allowed Unilever to start brokering deals with influencers similar to how it strikes a traditional brand partnership, said Bilgin.
"I consider influencers as brands in their own right," said Bilgin. "We approach deals with influencers as a collaboration between two brands. More than the size of an influencer's audience, we're looking at the fit between their brand and ours when it comes to what they stand for and who they represent."
News UK's influencer marketing division, which it launched this week is further proof that influencer marketing is focusing on its media plans. The eight-person marketing agency is using the annual gathering to drum up interest in an offer that's being pitched as a way advertisers can bridge the gap between word-of-mouth marketing and traditional media.
Influencers are also starting to be more discerning about the advertisers they endorse. Longer-term proposals are increasingly influential for swaying influencers toward certain advertisers, said influencers throughout the day, who are more wary of working with those chasing vanity metrics.
"No matter what amount of money is on the table if the game, product or service I'm being asked to endorse does not connect with me then it won't connect with my audience," said Christopher "Sacriel" Ball, a Twitch influencer that has worked with over 100 brands since January 2017. That represents around 40 percent of the deals he has been offered in that period, he told delegates.
"I have some sponsors who I've worked with for years and they bring me into their offices where they tell me about their upcoming products and ask for my feedback," said Ball. "I'm close with my account my managers at those brands to the point where two of my sponsors were at my wedding."
"It [The Mosque attack in New Zealand] was live-streamed on Facebook, which announced [on March 17] how much it was replicated and how hard it was to take down. All I can say is that video didn't appear on the Guardian platform and if it had I would have had it taken down very fast. They have many billions more than the Guardian, all the finest engineers in the world. So with all those engineers and all that money, they could find a solution to this kind of thing if they really wanted to. But they're more focused on revenue than being a functioning part of democracy." — Katherine Viner, editor-in-chief of Guardian News and Media
Three questions with Milton Elias, head of platforms and innovation at News U.K.:
Is your Snapchat Discover channel profitable?
It's been a journey. It takes a lot of resources to produce that content daily, we're starting to see a return but we've had to really invest in our talent to make sure the content resonates. With any owned and operated platform you have to work within the walls of the garden. So it's gotten there, finally. A lot is due to how open you are to the market in terms of data and audience, Snap is doing a better job at that now. We're going to see a lot more brands on there. We have experienced regular growth, the vast majority come back three times a week or more.
Can you give an update on Q Live, your version of HQ Trivia?
We're averaging 45,000 daily players on Q Live, on average we see users four times a week. We launched [in July] with no advertisers because we had to grow the audience from scratch. We wanted a regular stream of always-engaged users. So now we ran our first campaign with Mastercard during the Brit Awards. It's about bringing brands partners that are really integrated. We just turned on native ad slots too. We're hoping it will be profitable down the line. Like with any new project we need to demonstrate effectiveness first.
How has your relationship with platforms changed lately and what more do you want to see from them?
From a commercial relationship, we're asked more about what our concerns are and how we can work together and include those environments as a part of our bigger partnerships. On Snapchat we put so much effort into making sure the channel is engaging, they seem keen to help make it as easy as possible to extend campaign in there. It's always easier for our sales team to sell on a platform, it's a secondary thought of how we can push this outside our platforms but it's in their interest that we run activity there. I'm seeing more of an openness to having those discussions and being asked "how can we support you" across the board from our partners. That's changed in probably the last year.
"There should be a gong every time someone says 'Brexit' on stage." — Publisher exec
"I don't think [Broadcasters Audience Research Board] BARB is moving quickly enough. Project Dovetail [aims to calculate reach across screens) is going to be great when it arrives but the industry needs it to be here now." –Chris Williams CEO, Publicis Media Exchange UK
"Do we want to use voice as a marketing platform of customer engagement platform? Do we want to look at a short-term activation or an always on? It's hard for marketers because we want to dip our toe in and see what the ROI is." — Kathryn Maytham, executive director of digital, Warner Bros. Pictures
"In the world of the internet, we have handed over privacy for utility time and again, and that rubber ad has been stretched as far as it will go before snapping. We have had a massive shift in the last 12 months." — James Poulter, CEO, Vixen Labs
"In this privacy-first world, first-party relationships are vital because changes to the way browsers are treating third-party cookies are impacting the way data is collected and shared for advertising," said Google's svp of ads and commerce Prabhakar Raghavan.
"Scale matters in media more than it ever has done. The number of creative startups continues to grow but how media startups have been a success over the last 10 years?" — Mark Read, CEO of WPP.
