Date : 9th September 2015.
CURRENCY MOVERS OF 9th September 2015.
In The 1.1214 resistance worked again yesterday and turned EURUSD down after the pair rallied from the support area identified in yesterday's report. The pair keeps on moving sideways between a pivotal support at 1.1085 – 1.1150 and resistance at 1.1214. The pair also seems to honour 50 period SMA in the 4h timeframe as the slightly descending moving average has been limiting EURUSD advances lately. Today's candle has potential to be a decisive one as it will create another lower high should it close down. There are two lower lows already and should today's bar close below previous candle low another lower high will be created. Price has created lower highs in intraday charts, which suggests that the pair should move further into the aforementioned pivotal support. Apart from this pivotal support area support and resistance levels are at 1.0930, 1.1018 and 1.1214.
ECB's Reinesch: Loose Monetary Policy support structural reforms. The governor of Luxembourg's central bank said the "current accommodative monetary policy" provides a "window of opportunity" for structural reform. He stressed that "favourable financing conditions will offset possible short-term adjustment costs and will bring forward the longer-term benefits of reform". According to Reinesch these "could focus on simplifying the administrative burden involved in creating a new firm or in growing a firm beyond arbitrary thresholds which trigger increases in compliance costs." The ECB has been urging enhanced structural reforms for a while now, but in our view the risk is that without market pressure, governments will continue to shy away from any measures that could risk votes.
According to Eurostat the Seasonally adjusted GDP rose by 0.4% in both the euro area (EA19) and the EU28 during the second quarter of 2015, compared with the previous quarter, according to a second estimate published by Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union. In the first quarter of 2015, GDP grew by 0.5% in both areas. Compared with the same quarter of the previous year, seasonally adjusted GDP rose by 1.5% in the euro area and by 1.9% in the EU28 in the second quarter of 2015, after +1.2% and +1.7% respectively in the previous quarter. During the second quarter of 2015, GDP in the United States increased by 0.9% compared with the previous quarter (after +0.2% in the first quarter of 2015). Compared with the same quarter of the previous year, GDP grew by 2.7% (after +2.9% in the previous quarter).
The US consumer credit expanded 6.7% in July. It is a sign of confidence most likely propelled by low fuel prices and relatively steady job market. Outstanding consumer credit, a reflection of nonmortgage debt, rose $19.1 billion or at a 6.7% annual rate in July, the Federal Reserve said Tuesday. Consumer credit has been trending higher. It has increased each month for nearly four years. July credit growth was roughly in line with economists' expectations. They had predicted a $19.5 billion increase. Revolving credit, mostly credit cards, rose at a 5.7% annual rate. In June it climbed at an annual rate of 10%. Non-revolving credit, made up largely of auto and student loans, increased at a 7% annual rate, compared with 9.4% in June. Almost 70% of US GDP growth comes from consumer spending and steady growth in consumer credit therefore is a positive indication for the economic growth.
The US Labor Market Conditions Index (LMCI) rose by 2.1 points in August. This was the largest monthly improvement in US labor markets over the last six months. There were also revisions for previous months' readings 2015 were revised up by a net 2.3 points in yesterday's release. This measure contracted by 370 points from January 2008 to June 2009 but now it has made up about 90% of the 2008-09 deterioration.
All currencies continue their rally against JPY today. JPY is typically seen as a safe haven currency and stock market gains across the globe signal that investors and other market players are once again ready accept risk. All the other currencies seem to be on a wait and see mode as fluctuations are relatively small when compared to JPY.
USDJPY has broken out of a 4h downtrend and is now trading near Aug 28th pivotal resistance. The low at 120.90 has tested bull commitment in USDJPY today. AUDJPY has rallied to a level that turned the pair lower Sept 3rd and has caused the market to hesitate: bearish pinbars in 4h chart. EURJPY hit the upper end of my resistance area at 135 and turned lower. Looking bearish now with some room to fall.
• Canada Housing Starts: We expect starts to improve to a 195.0k unit rate in August from the 193.0k pace in July. The economies of Canada's energy producing regions have taken well publicized hits from the fall in energy prices. We expect slower activity in those markets to continue. However, mortgage rates are lean, which has boosted activity in other regions and helped maintain momentum in construction activity. Building permits will also be released and are expected to show a 5.0% drop in July after the 14.8% surge in June. A pull-back in multi-units is seen driving the pull-back in total permit values.
• Bank of Canada Rate decision: The August jobs report capped the recent run of data consistent with an economy at mid-year that is not in need of further policy stimulus. We've seen encouraging reports in the form of a 0.5% bounce in June GDP, back to back June and July export gains and jobs growth in both July and August. Granted, considerable downside risks remain, notably via a weaker China and volatile oil prices. But an improving U.S. economy underpins the outlook for ongoing growth in exports — about 75% of Canada's exports are shipped to the U.S. And the plunge in Q2 investment suggests the worst of the oil patch investment cuts are behind us. While no further stimulus is currently necessary, the Bank of Canada will maintain a very dovish tone in Wednesday's announcement as they retain scope to take further action if the economic data take a dive.


If someone asked me that, there would be days that my response would be, " EVERYTHING!" Do you ever go through phases like that? It seems like I can go through months without fretting over anything, and then other days where it consumes every part of me!
As a Mom there are SO MANY things that we can worry about; if they will be safe when you leave them with someone else, if their cough is turning in to pneumonia, if they are making the smart decisions with their friends, how they are doing in school, if we are doing the right thing as parents…I could write a novel on all the things Moms worry about!!
With my daughter going to Kindergarten this year I have been challenged with this more than normal. We want our kids to be safe, healthy and smart, yet we are reminded by all the negative things in the world as soon as we turn on the t.v. So what is a Mom to do?
I'm still trying to figure this one out. I'm not even confident I would be able to answer the question when I am 100 years old, but I'm determined to try. I just have to keep reminding myself that in some ways, worrying is good because it means that I love my kids so much! BUT I also have to remember that worrying is a result of the devil creeping into my life, and why let that take away precious time with the ones that I care about so much?!
Take comfort in knowing that you are among the rest of us mommies out there that are losing sleep and feeling like we are going crazy. That in itself should ease your mind and give you motivation to shake those bad thoughts along with the rest of us!
Thank you Dian! I am writing these down and sticking them on the fridge!

Doubting Thomas – Matthew Clark Davison (Amble Press)
Preorder/Buy from
Amble Press
What happens when an openly gay, forty-something teacher with an exemplary record is falsely accused of touching a student inappropriately? Davison's début novel proposes a believably devastating outcome as the subconscious prejudices of a proudly "progressive" community become weaponized. More broadly, Doubting Thomas is well-crafted meditation on the damage done to the gay male psyche by lifelong shaming.
Thomas McGurrin is a good guy. He became an educator to inspire young people, following the path of a favorite high school teacher who had a huge impact on his life. He initially chose a career in public education, but he was beguiled by an elite private school called Country Day in suburban Portland. With the school's plentiful resources, he thought he could truly make a difference growing the minds of students. And so he did for a decade, beloved by his grade school students, their parents, and fellow teachers alike.
Thomas is also a good son to his aging parents, a good brother to his younger brother, who struggles with drug addiction, and a favorite uncle to his nephews and nieces. He spends his time off attending the crises and celebrations of his brothers' families and helping his school principal fundraise and make improvements to the school.
Then, the mother of one of Thomas's ten-year-old students turns on him for reasons that are not entirely clear. She launches a flimsy allegation. Having been somewhat cocooned from the realities of homophobia, Thomas initially can't believe anything will come of it. Yet in days, he becomes a sexual predator in the heads of nearly everyone around him.
It's a brave subject to explore and made braver by Davison's unqualified and visceral portrayal of Thomas's journey through disbelief, rationalization, terror, rage, and despair. Many life events induce a crisis of identity and that frightening feeling of not understanding the world. Few are as lonely however as Thomas's situation. The students, teachers, and parents he's come to love shun him for an unspeakable crime he didn't commit. Thomas tries to grapple with how that transformation is possible. Was the school community's embrace of him all a lie? Did he somehow step across an invisible line that separates an acceptable homosexual from an unacceptable one? Was he set up for failure from the beginning?
Being rejected by Country Day is profound for Thomas as his identity was so wrapped up in the school. Like many gay men, particularly those who are single, his work became the primary source of his personal fulfillment. He's something of an everyman for gay Gen Xers, coming of age in terror of the AIDS pandemic and carefully measuring how "gay" he can afford to be in order to survive psychologically. Thomas's internal journey has him critically examining how he ended up in such a place, and Davison shines his brightest in passages that unpack his hero's personal crisis. How many signs of his inevitable disaster did he deny or rationalize as things that only happen to less careful, less conforming gay people? Did he sacrifice his own happiness in the impossible pursuit of being acceptable to his heterosexual family and friends?
As he seeks answers, Thomas is haunted by childhood messages about the impropriety of same-sex affection, memories of a gay classmates who was brutalized while Thomas stood silent, and the many microaggressions and boundary violations he tolerated from the parents of his students and his brothers while seeking heterosexual approval. That exploration provides some of Davison's best writing. Similarly, Thomas's story achieves its greatest impact as we follow him in the aftermath of his removal. Choosing reinvention over self-destruction, Thomas seeks to renegotiate his family relationships and to revisit with greater effort his friendships with the few gay men with whom he allowed himself to be emotionally vulnerable.
On the subject of writing, Neil Gaiman invokes an unattributed but familiar saying that a novel can be best defined as a long piece of prose with something wrong with it. With this important work, Davison achieves something of an anthem for white, gay Gen Xers as Edmund White and Alan Hollinghurst do a similar service for baby boomers, and in that Doubting Thomas feels like it has a place of permanence in LGBTQ+ literature. The storytelling meanders a bit, particularly in the first and last third, which will likely frustrate some readers. For those who stick with it, Davison's novel offers striking observations on the struggle of gay men of a certain age to reclaim a "spoiled identity."
A good selection for fans of gay literary fiction in the vein of the aforementioned White and Hollinghurst and authors of Davison's generation like Rahul Mehta and Matthew Todd.

If physical exercise is like a mood altering drug, so is music. Think about your own musical experiences for a moment. Can you remember a time when you've been so totally mesmerized by the sounds you were hearing that you were swept away into another world by a melody, a harmony, and a rhythm?
Music can both create or reflect a mood. It also has a powerful impact in helping people manage stress. Sound can calm you down, wake you up, and stimulate your senses. If you've ever had a massage, you've probably experienced firsthand how music can also enhance a sense of deep relaxation. It is so effective as a mood enhancer that many people use music during meditation, relaxation, and visualization exercises. Music has such a profound effect that researchers are currently exploring whether music therapy could become a way of retooling brains afflicted with a variety of emotional disorders.

Usain Bolt Produced The Best Photo Of The Olympics Last Night
- Libellés : entertainment , pictures
In the early hours of the morning, for roughly 10 seconds, the eyes of the world were fixed to the 100 metre sprint final in Rio. Usain Bolt did it again, claiming his third gold medal in an impressive 9.81 seconds.
By the end of the week, if he manages to defend his 200 metre and 4 x 100 metre titles, then he could end up with nine Olympic golds to his name.
Bolt, not a stranger to the history books, is taking the experience in his stride and making every moment - and every photo opportunity - count.
Not only did he beat his rivals, he did it while wearing the smuggest look of the Games.
Deciding to pose for a photograph halfway through the race, while the rest of the sprinters strained every vein in their body to find more power, Bolt not only won, but he did so in a comfortable style.
It may not have worked for Chad le Clos is the 100 metre butterfly in the Aquatic centre, but it didn't slow the Jamaican sprinter down, who glanced over, smiled at the camera before focusing back on the race.
Ever the showman, I'm tuning in on Tuesday so see what else this machine can do.

You can buy a subscription for almost anything these days. Movies, wine, chocolate–even clothes! But finding the right clothing subscription box can be kind of a pain since there are so many things that need to be taken into account. What if you don't like the style? What if the items are too expensive? Can you return everything?
This guide will help you narrow down your options. We'll go over the main things to look for when picking the right women's clothing subscription box for you, and if you're still stuck, we've also got a list of our ten favorites for you to start your search.
As with regular clothes shopping, shopping for a clothing subscription box is a highly personal decision. Keep in mind your lifestyle and fashion style as you consider these different factors.
There are clothing boxes that span the range of everything wearable. From office wear to lingerie, from shoes to jewelry, if you can wear it, there's a box for it. Different boxes specialize in different things, so look for a box that will fit your lifestyle and fashion choices.
There are two main types of clothing subscriptions: buying and renting. There are pros and cons to each, so consider your budget and needs when making your choice.
Like other types of subscriptions, most clothing subscription boxes are built around purchasing and keeping certain items in your box. These types of boxes are great for those who are looking to change up their look or those who need to accumulate a separate wardrobe for work.
Some subscription services will send you clothing items for you to return once you've worn them. This option is great for those who like to have a rotating wardrobe of the latest trends. This is also good for those who don't necessarily like to have a lot of stuff in their homes and wouldn't appreciate accumulating more stuff every month.
Most subscriptions will ask you to take a personal style quiz and then send you a curated box of items that fits your tastes. There are others that send the same items to everyone in a given month. Both of these options are great for those who appreciate the style of the subscription and don't necessarily need anything in particular.
However, there are also subscriptions that allow you to completely control the contents of your box for a flat monthly fee. These tend to be rental options and are best for those who need particular pieces for special events or occasions.
Because you don't actually get the chance to try anything on (or even see the items, in some cases) before you get your box, it's important that your subscription have a comprehensive return system. Many subscription boxes will allow you to try everything on, return what you don't like, and then pay for what you keep. Others will charge you up front and send a refund for the items you don't like.
Just be aware that many boxes that send out a general box to all subscribers don't have return options.
Now that you've narrowed things down and have a clearer idea of what kind of subscription box you're looking for, here are ten of our favorite services for you to choose from.
For all the proud nerds and fandom junkies out there, this is the box for you! Every month, one stylish piece of clothing (think more than just a graphic tee) that was chosen or designed by a woman is sent to you in sizes up to 3XL.
However, you don't get to preview the contents before you get it, and there's no skip or return options (unless there's a problem with sizing). So if you don't care for a particular month's product, you're kind of stuck.
This subscription box is great for those who live in leggings. Each month, you receive a full 3-piece athletic outfit (plus 2 accessories for $10 more) that you can choose from their list of available styles.
However, each style comes in limited amounts, so it's possible that the option that you want could sell out before you have the chance to decide.
Elizabeth and Clarke make shirts you didn't even think were possible–stain-proof and sweat-proof with adjustable hems, functional pockets, and bra strap holders.
From $60 per box for one shirt to $120 per box for three and options to receive a box every 3 or 6 months, this subscription won't overwhelm you with new things and allows for complete customization.
This subscription box is aimed specifically at plus-size ladies size 14-32. Each box is custom chosen for you based on your style preferences and size–varying sizes between brands are fully accounted for.
Aside from a $20 styling fee each month that acts as a credit towards any items you decide to keep, you only pay for what you decide to keep. Returns should be made within 5 days of receipt, but size exchanges are unlimited.
While the MM.LaFleur Bento doesn't label itself as a subscription service, it basically is. Fill out your style preferences and receive a box full of work-ready power pieces once or on a recurring basis.
You only pay for the items you decide to keep, so if you don't like anything, you won't pay anything! Just be sure to have your returns ready within four days of delivery. Also note that this is a higher end box–the cheapest items are over $100.
This rental subscription service is great for those who like to wear designer but don't like designer prices. Your rental comes with free dry cleaning and insurance. Plus, if you live around an RTR storefront, you're also able to swap out items in-store.
There are two options–for $89 per month you can have 4 pieces per month, and for $159 per month you can have 4 pieces at a time with a new piece every time you return one plus a wider range of selection.
Like many subscription boxes, Trunk Club allows you to fill out your style preferences and receive a box of custom-picked pieces. Unlike most subscriptions, you actually get a chance to talk with your stylist and approve your items before they ship.
Trunks can be ordered whenever you feel like it or set on a recurring schedule. Each trunk costs a $25 styling fee (waived for Nordstrom card holders) that is credited towards any pieces that you decide to keep.
This subscription service allows you to designate not only your preferred style (between Casual, Classic, and Creative) but also your budget. You can choose to have your box total less than $150 or more for three items.
This subscription gives you the last say on your box with full preview and personalization capabilities. Just note that you will be charged for the full price of the box when it's shipped, and anything you don't want to keep will be fully refunded.
This rental service allows you to rent between 5-10 clothing items per month (plus accessories) depending on your package. It offers a wide range of pre-selected styles that you can customize before your tote is sent out.
Le Tote offers additional rental insurance for $5 per month and will wash all items for you when you send them back. If you really like an item, just keep it, and they'll charge you 50% off retail price for the piece.
Every month, Stitch Fix will send you five items from a wide range of styles and brands picked especially for you. There are options for all sizes, including maternity!
While each box is curated by a stylist, you can choose what actually gets sent, and over time, your feedback will result in better choices. Items are only charged once you've decided to keep them.
What the Heck is a Styling Fee?
Because many subscriptions allow you to try everything on and only pay for the items you keep, they often charge styling fees to prevent you from wearing everything once, sending it back, and not paying for anything.
In some cases, the styling fee is the base price for the subscription, and everything you choose to keep is charged on top of it. In other cases, the styling fee is only charged if you decide not to keep anything.
What Should I Do with All of My Old Clothes?
With this influx of new clothing, you might find yourself in need of a closet purge. Here are a few of the best ways to get rid of old items. Ask friends or family if they want any of it. Sell them online. Aside from sites like eBay and Craigslist, there are a few great clothing-specific markets (Poshmark, Vinted, ThredUp) that allow you to sell your old clothing online.
Recycle them. Textiles are one of the leading pollutants, so to ensure your clothes don't just end up in the trash pile, send it to a recycler! There are a ton of companies that will accept any sort of old clothing items, and some will even pay for it!
So there you have it–a comprehensive guide to finding the right women's clothing subscription box for you! As many of these kinds of boxes do have easy cancellation policies, feel free to shop around for the right one before committing. What you wear plays a huge role in how you're perceived, after all.


THIBODAUX � The owner of a Thibodaux lounge was killed one year ago near his home on Henderson Street.
No arrests have been made in connection with the crime, but Thibodaux Police Chief Craig Melancon insists that is not for a lack of effort on his department�s part.
Meanwhile, the family waits for a respite from its nightmare.
Bruce Williams, 41, owner of the Halftime Lounge, was found dead of a gunshot wound May 22, 2006, near his home on Henderson Street.
Members of Williams� family, which includes his wife and four children, liken the mystery of who killed him to a dark cloud that hovers over them daily.
On Sunday, about 300 of Williams� family and friends gathered at the lounge, at the corner of 10th and Narrow streets, to celebrate Williams� life.
Brian Williams said he faithfully calls the police to check on the case�s status and talks to people on the street about possible new leads.
He and his family also have recently put up new fliers, such as the one on the door of the Halftime Lounge, advertising a $15,000 reward for anyone who supplies the Thibodaux Police Department with information that leads to the arrest of Bruce�s killer.
Melancon said that while he understands the family�s desire for an arrest, his main focus is building a case that can stand up in court.
He added that when dealing with a homicide, his department goes beyond its usual probable-cause burden for making an arrest, instead applying the same burden, �guilty beyond a reasonable doubt,� the Lafourche Parish District Attorney�s Office has to prove in a murder case.
Thus, the investigation takes longer, the police chief said.
Brian Williams has heard the explanation before but said he derives no comfort from it.
When asked to elaborate, Brian said he would like to see a detective brought in from outside the parish or state to interrogate suspects.
The twins� older brother Derrell, who works with the State Police, is more restrained. He started his career with the Thibodaux Police Department and said he has talked to Melancon several times.
Although concrete answers from official channels have been non-existent, talks with people from his neighborhood have generated occasional leads, Brian Williams said. Through these chats, the twin added, he has come to believe he knows the killer�s identity and described him as a man already jailed on a felony charge.
Melancon declined to name any of the suspects, noting that the investigation continues.

Is the Constitution Strong Enough to Survive a Pandemic? | Rep. David Eastman
Written by David Eastman on May 15, 2020 May 15, 2020
Amidst the lockdowns and the layoffs, there is one profoundly good thing taking place across America today. Unprecedented displays of raw government power are leading many Americans to question the limits of that power, some for the first time. Does a public health crisis, or the fear of one, trump constitutional provisions that limit the power of government? Does it?
There is a great deal of confusion on this today, and no small amount of fear. Some fear what will happen when government officials put politics first and fail to respond to real threats to public safety. Others fear what will happen when the government does respond. As a legislator who battles corruption and dysfunction in our political institutions daily, I happen to believe a healthy fear of both scenarios is in order.
There is no problem so small that politicians cannot make a good mess of it in their efforts to either ignore or fix it. Sometimes they work just as hard trying to ignore it as they then do trying to fix it.
But there are times when those in government do more than just waste money and fail to solve problems. Sometimes, they jump the fence and do things which have the appearance of being downright tyrannical.
Is it tyranny for the sheriff's office to force a 93-year-old couple to abandon beach chairs and sit on the sand at the beach?
What about being pulled over for driving on a public highway during a pandemic, or getting arrested for participating in a convoy protest against unconstitutional government mandates?
Is it tyrannical to ticket drivers just for listening to a church service on the radio in a church parking lot?
In high school government class we may have learned about constitutional rights and a bit about how elections work, but most high school graduates are never taught what it is that keeps politicians from simply ignoring the Constitution whenever some portion of it gets in the way.
Is the Constitution strong enough to stop tyranny? The answer is both "yes", and "no".
Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, a myth persists among Americans that the Constitution is designed to be a self-enforcing document. Think about it. If you are like most Americans, you were probably taught to think of government as something like a car. As a citizen and voter, you own the car and on Election Day you and your neighbors hand the keys to political candidates from one party or another. In this story, the Constitution is like a traffic cop, to make sure that whoever is driving minds the rules of the road. If you feel like the car is ever headed in the wrong direction, or that it's starting to veer too far to the right or left of the white lines, you have the ability to switch out drivers at the next election.
It's a pleasant picture. While the drivers you wanted may not be the ones currently behind the wheel, the upside is that you only need to focus on politics at election time. In between elections, you get to focus on making a living, raising a family, and all the other things that won't get done if you don't do them yourself. But unless you are a lawyer, a judge or a politician, the Constitution really isn't a part of your day-to-day.
In this story, the government doesn't need policing daily. After all, that's what the Constitution is for. Isn't it?
Personally, I would love for the myth to be true. It would permit some of my dearest friends to escape the corrosive environment of "politics", and spend more time with their families and in career fields where integrity is an asset rather than a liability.
The myth serves a purpose. But it was not crafted for your benefit, and those who perpetuate it are not your friend. It would also have been anathema to our Founding Fathers and those who drafted the Constitution.
Those who wrote the Constitution were surprisingly transparent about its limitations. James Madison, the Father of the Constitution, referred to it as nothing more than a "parchment barrier". Paper thin. On its own, it would stop nothing.
The Constitution is not self-enforcing because it was never designed to operate that way. Nor was it designed to be turned over to a particular class of people, judges or politicians for example, who would be its designated guardians.
Throughout history, every new American citizen and every public servant, from the poorest immigrant and the lowliest private in the Army, to the President of the United States, has taken an oath, not to judges or politicians, but to protect and defend the Constitution.
And if the Constitution is to be defended in peacetime, it must be defended from judges and politicians, who are the most likely to preside over any transgressions.
As an emigrant from Germany when Hitler came to power, Albert Einstein abhorred the notion that our Constitution could ever be self-enforcing. Germany had been a constitutional republic, not unlike our own, when Hitler rose to power. The following exchange, taken from a collection of his personal papers, offers a keen view of how the Constitution actually works:
Question: What in your view are the particular responsibilities of a citizen at this time in the defense of our traditional freedoms as expressed in our Bill of Rights?
Albert Einstein: The strength of the Constitution lies entirely in the determination of each citizen to defend it. Only if every single citizen feels duty bound to do his share in this defense are the constitutional rights secure. Thus, a duty is imposed on everyone which no one must evade, notwithstanding risks and dangers for him and his family.
So, is the Constitution strong enough to stop Big Brother?
That depends entirely on our determination to both understand and defend it. And that doesn't just happen on Election Day. It happens every day.
Einstein asks each of us, have you done your part in the defense of our constitutional rights?
Have you? If you don't have a good answer, or you would simply like your answer to be better, I would encourage you to reach out to someone who is daily on the front lines defending those rights. Attend a training event in your local area to learn more about what you can personally do to contribute. My rights hang in the balance. So do yours.
If you are in my neck of the woods, I hope to see you at the training event in Big Lake this Saturday. Social distancing will be practiced by all.
The business of distinguishing bad government policy from actual tyranny, and opposing each effectively, is too big a task for any of us to do alone. The good news is that we were never meant to, and there are more Americans willing to shoulder their part of the load today than at any time in my lifetime. And for that I am truly grateful.
Rep. David Eastman has served in the Alaska State House representing the Mat-Su since 2017; He ran on a platform of fighting for genuine conservative reform, fiscally and socially, and remains committed to delivering on that promise.

The Diocese of the West Administrative Assistant Office has been enjoying a new location at the DOW's Duboce property in San Francisco these past couple of months! Once His Eminence, Archbishop BENJAMIN realized his father would have to move in with him due to rent hikes in Southern California, Vladyka informed the Diocesan Council and Administrative Assistant Priest Andrew Smith that it would be necessary to find a new place for the office at 1520 Green St. With about a month to move the office with its archives and files, the DOW Council secured funds to hire Birch Circle Movers of San Anselmo, CA to simplify the process.
This still meant a few more days in the Green Street office for Fr Andrew, packing up files and empyting the loft area where archives had been stored. While the work was a bit unexpected, it did turn up various and sundry fascinating relics and souvenirs -- old event posters, portraits of previous diocesan hierarchs, a typewriter (!), and many reminders of people and places accrued over more than 50 years of administrative record-keeping (for many years kept by our Archbishop BENJAMIN, who was diocesan administrative assistant when he worked as Bishop TIKHON (Fitzgerald's) archdeacon).
The day of the move itself was smoother than expected in spite of the rain thanks to Birch Circle's professional and efficient team. St Seraphim Cathedral's intern, Deacon John Joseph Kotalik, helped Fr Andrew re-file all the DOW's documents that day after the movers finished -- thank you Dn J.J.! Fr Andrew was so pleased (and relieved) with the process that he served a Thanksgiving Moleben in the Chapel of the Synaxis of the Theotokos located on the property.
Please note: the 1520 Green St address is STILL the active mailing address for all diocesan mail and parcels -- thank you, and glory to God for all things!

In a report just released, the California Department of Justice reported that there were 1,861 homicides in 2015. Although the number of killings has fallen 25 percent in the past decade, the number of homicides reflects a 10 percent increase over the previous year (see Penal Code 187 for Murder).
Authorities reported notable statistics about the homicides. For instance, 29 percent of 2015 killings with known motives were related to gang violence, and more than 70 percent of killings were committed with a firearm- usually a handgun. Latino and black victims of homicide were typically between the age of 18 and 29 years old, whereas white victims tended to be older, with 56 percent of victims over 40 years old. More than 50 percent of those arrested on suspicion of murder were between 18 and 29 years old. Research also found that 38 percent of male victims were slain by strangers, and 25 percent of female victims were slain by their spouse. Additionally, 25 percent of all female victims were slain in their homes.
The homicide rate in the SF Bay Area increased 14 percent in 2016. San Jose in particular saw a total of 47 homicides, which is the highest number of killings in that city since 1991. In 2016, San Jose had the third most homicides in the SF Bay Area (47), behind San Francisco (58) and Oakland (85).


First, I'd like to start of and say thanks to knifeedge for making this version. I love it so far. But, there is something i need help with, my yak doesn't have the neon on it. Nearly all of my planes have neon on the props but not on the wings. only the extra that came with the dl had it.
Is this yak of yours based on our Yak or on a Yak that someone else created? To check this, find the Yak and in the aircraft selection dialog change the "group by" to "Airframe." If the folder this yak is under is blue, then you are looking at a custom Yak and should not see any glow wireframes. If it is not blue, then it is based on our Yak and we'll have to figure it out.
Its not under blue. I don't know what the problem is though. Do I need to redownload it??

NPO 13: Lee Ann Eiland (Playworks Illinois)
Lee Ann Eiland
Playworks
Recess!
Games at Events
Today's Guest: Lee Ann Eiland, Development Manager for Playworks Illinois
Lee Ann Eiland is a woman, mother, entrepreneur, Chicago native and a champion for living fearlessly. Lee Ann has worked for social service, health systems and educational institutions throughout her development career. Having studied both Biochemistry at UIC and Organizational Management at Concordia University, she has come to the conclusion that relationship building is not rocket science, but the art of listening.
Lee Ann joined Playworks, a national nonprofit, three years ago as the Illinois Development Manager. As the Development Manager she supports all facets of the Illinois offices' foundation, individual and corporate partnerships as well as fundraising events. Lee Ann was drawn to the mission of Playworks because working with children holds a special place in her heart. Her hope is to continue to bring the team building and conflict resolutions skills used to resolve disputes on the playground home to her two children. Lee Ann enjoys reading, playing with her two kids and retail therapy.
Nonprofit Spotlight: Playworks Illinois
The mission of Playworks is to improve the health and well-being of children by increasing opportunities for physical activity and safe, meaningful play. Playworks partners with schools, districts, and afterschool programs to provide a service or mix of services including on-site coaches, professional training for school staff who support recess, and consultative partnerships. To visit their Facebook group, click here!
Join them for their Playmaker's Adult Recess: July 25th
Save the Date for the Get in the Game event: September 28th
Lee Ann shared several great fundraising lessons. Playworks does an incredible job of integrating their topic of play into all aspects of their organization. At board meetings, they include a game; at donor visits, they ask the donors about their favorite recess games; at their fundraisers, they include games! Their two big event-based fundraisers are Get in the Game and Corporate Kickball. For Get in the Game, it's structured like most typical galas, but while dressed in your cocktail attire, you are expected to engage in games and crafts around the room! For the Corporate Kickball tournament, corporations and individuals can sign up teams of players to participate in a one-day tournament filled with lots of friendly competition. If there's a way to invite others to engage in a fun way that connects with your mission, that's a much better ask that will likely stand out from the crowd than the more traditional sponsorship opportunities.
Playworks Illinois does a direct mail ask at the end of the year and has a Choose Play in May online marketing campaign that focuses more on peer-to-peer fundraising. Identifying different types of outreach to donors and using different voices to conduct that outreach has made Playworks Illinois more successful.
Not directly mentioned, but in Lee Ann's stories about getting into her development career, she shared a story of having a job opportunity but not being qualified and working hard to get qualified in the months leading up to the job. There is definitely a certain aspect of hustle, hard work and determination that makes any fundraising professional successful.
Story of Good:
In the second story of good that Lee Ann shared, she talked about a corporate beautification day through Playworks Illinois. Volunteers from their corporation signed up to spend their Saturday painting a playground at a local school. During their day, six neighborhood kids came to the park and the interactions between the kids and the volunteers (in both directions) were priceless. To listen to the whole story, listen to the episode!

The central province of Thua Thien-Hue officially put into operation a natural disaster prevention centre on December 9.
The 3-storey centre was built with a non-refundable aid worth 8.5 billion VND (over 399,000 USD) from the United States Pacific Command (USPACOM).
It will be equipped with more communication equipment and devices worth 4.6 billion VND (nearly 216,000 USD), which are also funded by the USPACOM. The installation will be implemented from now to June, 2015.

Understanding of SOLIDWORKS Desktop Licenses
OurBlogs
SOLIDWORKS provide a different types of 3D CAD software packages to ensure everyone from the CAD managers of large organizations to interns have the tools they need to achieve success. In this article, we will explore what license types are available for the SOLIDWORKS desktop version.
SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD Software Packages
SOLIDWORKS is a bundle of different 3D CAD software. The packages included are SOLIDWORKS Standard, Professional, and Premium. Checkout this article to know How to choose the correct SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD License?
SOLIDWORKS Licenses – Stand-Alone vs Network
The SOLIDWORKS desktop licenses has been around since 1995 and remains going strong. It's installed locally on windows-based computer's and is available as stand-alone or network licenses.
Whether you've SOLIDWORKS standard, professional, or premium, the installation files are the same for both stand-alone, and network.
SOLIDWORKS Stand-Alone Licenses
SOLIDWORKS Stand-alone licenses use device activation to control access to the software. Each PC has a completely unique identity. While SOLIDWORKS is set up and activated on a particular machine, that serial range is tied to that unique laptop identity, so it'll now not launch and run on an exclusive device.
A user with a standalone license who desired with a purpose to use it on more than one device can achieve this. But first the license should be deactivated, then it can be activated on a different machine. For example, SOLIDWORKS can be installed on both an office and a home device, however only activated on one by one. It's a fast process which does no longer require uninstalling SOLIDWORKS. You simply need to don't forget to do it before you change locations.
SOLIDWORKS Network Licenses
Network licenses are meant for businesses with a local place community which all CAD users can access. A central server machine hands out 'floating' licenses to client machines on the network. The network serial number can have any number of SOLIDWORKS seats associated to it, that is the quantity of users who can be running SOLIDWORKS at any given time. The network license server also can manage different SOLIDWORKS products, consisting of SOLIDWORKS Simulation, Visualize, or DraftSight.
SOLIDWORKS can therefore be installed on any number of customer machines and shared through greater users than there are seats available. That is a great option for organizations who've users who want SOLIDWORKS from time to time, but no longer each day. A company may additionally consequently have one seat for each engineer, designer, or drafter, who uses CAD Day by day, and some extras for machinists, technicians, and others who most effective want it from time to time.
SOLIDWORKS Term vs Perpetual Licenses & Subscription Services
SOLIDWORKS standalone and network licenses can be both perpetual and term. Perpetual licenses are owned by using the client and by no means expire, even as term licenses are essentially rentals a good way to cease to feature after the expiration date.
Perpetual licenses have non-obligatory subscription services which offer clients with diverse advantages consisting of technical support, the proper to upgrade SOLIDWORKS to more modern variations as they come out at no greater fee, cost-free certification examination vouchers, and many others. Subscription services are paid on an annual basis and will expire if no longer maintained. But the customer is still able to use whatever version of SOLIDWORKS became most present day on the time their subscription expired, as well as any in advance version they'll want to apply.
Term licenses are an annual subscription. Clients are entitled to use the license until the expiration date, at which era the license need to be renewed, or it will prevent operating. One benefit of this model is the advantages of subscription services noted above are covered with term licenses.
Read this article: Improve your SOLIDWORKS Experience with Subscription Services
SOLIDWORKS Releases – Major Versions & Service Packs
SOLIDWORKS puts out a new release, named for the imminent year, around the beginning of the 4th quarter of each year. That is accompanied by service packs (minor releases) roughly every two months. So, for a given year model of SOLIDWORKS there could be 6 versions, SP0 to SP5.
The SOLIDWORKS file format is up to date once per major release and isn't backwards well matched. So, in case you are the use of SOLIDWORKS 2022 you'll now not be capable of open 2023 files, with one exception. Service pack five can opening, but not modifying, the next year file format. As an instance, when you have SOLIDWORKS 2021 SP5 it can open SOLIDWORKS 2022 format documents.

Daytona Beach, FL – Single-family homes sales and prices in Daytona Beach jumped in December and throughout 2017 despite a trend of low inventories.
4,911 detached, single-family homes were sold in the Daytona Beach area at a median sales price of $215,000.
All property type sales increased 5.5%.
Existing detached, single-family home sales increased 3%.
All property type median sales prices increased 8%.
Detached, single-family home median sales prices increased 10.8%.
415 existing detached, single-family homes were sold in the Daytona Beach area at a median sales price of $222,000.
Median sales prices increased 9%.
"Area homeowners enjoyed the benefits of a strong real estate market in 2017 and it was great to see some of the year's early predictions about double-digit increases in median prices this year come true," said the CEO of The Wyse Home Team at Keller Williams Realty, Ron Wysocarski.
2017 Sales (All property types): 8520 sold at a $180,000 median sales price.
2016 Sales (All property types): 8079 sold at a $166,500 median sales price.
2017 Sales (Detached, Single Family Homes): 4911 sold at a $215,000 median sales price.
2016 Sales (Detached, Single Family Homes): 4762 sold at a $193,900 median sales price.
December 2017: 415 sold at a $222,000 median sales price.
December 2016: 367 sold at a $199,900 median sales price.
November 2017: 328 sold at a $204,000 median sales price.
November 2016: 346 sold at a $201,250 median sales price.
"Single-family home sales were strong in December," said Wysocarski. "It was a great way to close out the year." According to Wysocarski, the number of home listings was "fairly consistent" during the month of December. Usually, the number of listings would decrease during this time of year.
2017: 2687 single family homes (3.4% fewer than in 2016).
2016: 2783 single family homes.
2015: 3570 single family homes.
Dec. 2017: 1762 single family homes.
December 2016: 1785 single family homes.
November 2017: 1792 single family homes.
November 2016: 1832 single family homes.
"Demand remained high all year, and overall, home sales would have been much higher in 2017 if inventory levels hadn't remained so tight through most of the year," said Wysocarski. During the last quarter of 2017, the number of homes on the market finally began to catch up, said Wysocarski.

Laying the groundwork for higher-ed success
Mark R. Howard | 5/29/2018
The quick-and-dirty status report on Florida's colleges and universities: The state college/community college system qualifies among the top five in the country, if not outright No. 1. Among state universities, UF has cracked the U.S. NewsÕ top 10 list of public universities and is among the 60 members of the American Association of Universities, a group of elite research universities. UF and FSU have achieved "pre-eminent" status as defined by the Legislature; USF and UCF are close. The entire university system has strong, aspirational leadership, both in the various presidents' offices and in Marshall Criser III, the university system's chancellor.
Two distinguishing features of Florida's higher-ed system laid much of the groundwork for the current success. First, the common course-numbering system means that courses have the same numbers, content and often the same texts throughout the entire higher-ed system — Math 101 is the same in Pensacola as it is in Miami. Second, the state's "articulation" policy guarantees that those who complete two-year degrees at a community (now state) college in Florida can seamlessly transfer to a fouryear school and pursue a baccalaureate degree.
It was not always so.
Last year, I was neighbors with a man named Rod Hurley. Rod, who's 74, grew up on Pine Island near Fort Myers. An FSU grad, he has a doctorate and a career's worth of expertise in educationrelated statistics, budgeting and planning. "I was heavy into numbers," he says. He's retired from both the Naval Reserve and the state of Florida, where he was for a time director of planning, evaluation, research and management information systems for the community college system. He later became the master planner for all higher education in Maryland and was an administrator and faculty member at Hillsborough Community College.
In the course of talking with Rod about his career, I heard the back story on how the course-numbering system and articulation policies took shape — and how much hard work it took from a lot of people whose efforts took place mostly behind the scenes.
In the early 1960s, when only about 6 million people lived in Florida, universities ruled the higher-ed roost. The four-year schools and community colleges were worlds apart and did little to coordinate what they offered. And so community college students who transferred to a university to pursue a baccalaureate degree might find that the university didn't recognize many of the courses they'd taken. The university might claim its course was different from the community college's, or renumber it, or hide a basic introductory course within a specific department — instead of just offering Intro to Statistics, for example, it might offer Intro Statistics for Psychology, or for Math, or Engineering. It was the same course, of course — just cloaked in a departmental disguise.
The universities weren't bad actors; they were just responding to the financial incentives in place. Their funding was determined largely by how many full-time students they had. By keeping the former community college students in school longer, they generated higher enrollment numbers — and more state funding, more professors and more graduate assistants.
This bit of rent-seeking by the universities wasn't the most efficient or admirable way to go about education, either for students or the state.
In the mid-1960s, the late James Wattenbarger, who had designed a system of state-supported community colleges within driving distance of every Floridian while a graduate student at UF, was serving as head of the Division of Community Colleges. Wattenbarger got 15 community colleges to form a research group to gather data that might support a plan for students to transition from community college to universities more smoothly. In order to be able to compare data fairly from one school to the next, the group developed the common course-numbering system, so that Statistics 101 in Miami-Dade was the same as Statistics 101 in Indian River.
Meanwhile, community college officials lobbied the Florida Department of Education to nudge the universities to get behind articulation. Rod and an education official named Mike DeCarlo wrote an application for a $143,500 federal grant that paid for DeCarlo to travel the state setting up committees to establish the common course-numbering approach throughout the higher-ed system, universities included. DOE Commissioner Floyd Christian and an associate commissioner named Cecil Golden were instrumental in getting the community colleges and universities to work together, Rod says. With a few more grants and Golden's skill at coordination, a full-blown articulation program was developed and adopted in 1971.
That brief description unfairly compresses more than a halfdozen years of hard, often contentious behind-the-scenes work and research — thousands of hours of travel, committee meetings, discussions and arguments among hundreds of educators, bureaucrats, education officials and politicians.
A bureaucratic slog might not be the most riveting tale you'll read this month. But the course-numbering system and articulation saved the state millions of dollars by avoiding duplication. Those policies increased access to higher-ed and have provided a framework for accountability that lets the schools focus on excellence rather than on the much lower bar of accreditation. They also made Florida an educational leader and have been emulated by states from Michigan to California.
The story is a reminder that, with vision, the right support and with policymakers focused on what's good for Florida, government can move us forward, and that Florida can get it right. The articulation program, as Rod says, is a "shining example of a state performing both its social and fiscal responsibility" — to benefit all its citizens.

Good Shepherd Community Church Likely Sticking Around, After All
Jul, 01, 2019 | No Comments | West Philly
It was just a few months ago that we directed your attention to the Good Shepherd Community Church building at 314 S. 46th St., noting that the church was moving on from its longtime home and that developers had the property under agreement. This is an incredibly common story in Philadelphia in 2019, especially in neighborhoods where population shifts have resulted in diminished congregations and increased property values. We told you that the developers intended to demolish the church, which dates back to 1930, and replace it with a 36-unit apartment building. That project required approval from the ZBA because the property is zoned for single-family use, and with the expectation of community pushback to the demolition and the use, we speculated that it might be tough sledding to get the necessary variance.
We were pretty certain though, that demolition was a foregone conclusion no matter what eventually happened with the property. As we've explained on numerous occasions, local designation on the historic register protects old buildings from demolition, but an underfunded Historical Commission and an overwhelming inventory of potentially historic but unlisted buildings in Philadelphia has resulted in a situation where many deserving structures are not listed and therefore vulnerable to the wrecking ball. As this building wasn't listed on the register, the developers were permitted to tear it down whether they got support for their project or not. While we could personally go either way in terms of the historical import of this particular edifice, we feel pretty safe saying that a replacement building would be worse, architecturally, than the reuse of the existing building.
We were more than a little surprised when we learned that the developers and local RCO, the Garden Court Community Association, had collaborated to come up with a plan that would save the church building and still produce a desirable enough redevelopment plan. After seeing pushback from their initial proposal, the developers came up with a plan to convert the existing building into apartments and build a new structure on a vacant section of the property to accommodate additional units. An initial public meeting at the beginning of last month produced a split vote in the community, with a narrow majority supporting the project but a vocal majority speaking in opposition, mostly due to parking concerns and general concerns about renters. Here's a look at the plan, which would include 28 rental units over the two buildings.

What a great looking compromise! Even better, the GCCA has agreed to to write a letter of support, which usually makes for a pretty easy path at the ZBA. But there's still no guarantee that the project gets approval, because there were a few dozen people at the community meeting that voted in opposition, and if some of them go to the ZBA there's still a chance the plan could go up in smoke. That would obviously be a disappointing development.
This seems like a win win project for the developer and the community, but there's a reason this kind of project is the exception rather than the rule. We don't know the numbers, but we have to think that the acquisition price was low enough that the developers had some flexibility with their project plan such that they could still make money on the deal with adaptive reuse and a lower unit count. In other situations, where the acquisition price is higher and/or the rental rates are lower and/or the existing building isn't as compatible with residential reuse, such a compromise wouldn't necessarily be possible. But still, if this thing happens, perhaps it can be a model for other reuse projects in West Philadelphia and other neighborhoods in Philadelphia.

The certification and attestation part of identity management is clearly focused on the 'who has access to what?' question. But access review compliance is really identifying failings further up stream in the identity management architecture. Reviewing previously created users, or previously created authorization policies and finding excessive permissions or misaligned policies, shows failings with the access decommissioning process or business to authorization mapping process.
The creation and removal of account data from target systems falls under a provisioning component. This layer is generally focused on connectivity infrastructure to directories and databases, either using agents or native protocol connectors. The tasks, for want of a better word, are driven either by static rules or business logic, generally encompassing approval workflows. The actual details and structure of what needs to be created or removed is often generated elsewhere - perhaps via roles, or end user requests, or authoritative data feeds. The provisioning layer helps fulfill what system level accounts and permissions need creating. This could be described as compliance by design and would be seen as a panacea deployment, with quite a pro-active approach to security, based on approval before creation.
The second area could be the authorization component. Once an account exists within a target system, there is a consumption phase, where an application or system uses that account and associated permissions to manage authorization. The 'what that user can do' part. This may occur internally, or more commonly, leverage an external authorization engine, with a policy decision point and policy enforcement point style architecture. Here there is a reliance on the definition of authorization policies that can control what the user can do. These policies may include some context data such as what the use is trying to access, the time of day, IP address and perhaps some business data around who the user is - department, location and so on. These authorization 'policies' could be as simply as the read, write, execute permission bits set within a Unix system (the policy here is really quite implicit and static), or something more complex that has been crafted manually or automatically and specific to a particular system, area and organisation. I'd describe this phase as compliance by control, where the approval emphasis is on the authorization policy.
At both the account level and authorization level, there is generally some sort of periodic review. This review could be for internal or external compliance, or to simply help align business requirements with the underlying access control fulfillment layer. This historically would be the 'who has access to what?' part. This would be quite an important - not to mention costly from a time and money perspective - component for disconnected identity management infrastructures. This normally requires a centralization of identity data, that has been created and hopefully approved at some point in the past. The review is to help identify access misalignment, data irregularities or controls that no longer fulfill the business requirements. This review process is often marred by data analysis problems, complexity, a lack of understanding with regards to who should perform reviews, or perhaps a lack of clarity surrounding what should be certified or what should be revoked.
SIEM, Activities and Who Has Accessed What?
One of the recent expansions of the access review process has been to marry together security information and event monitoring (SIEM) data with the identity and access management extracts. Being able to see what an individual has actually done with their access, can help to determine whether they actually still need certain permissions. For example, if a line manager is presented with a team member's directory access which contains 20 groups, it could be very difficult to decide which of those 20 groups are actually required for that individual to fulfill their job. If, on the other hand, you can quickly see that out of the 20 groups, twelve were not used within the last 12 months, that is a good indicator that they are no longer required on a day to day basis and should be removed.
There is clearly a big difference between what the user can access and what they actually have accessed. Getting this view, requires quite low level activity logging within a system, as well as the ability to collect, correlate, store and ultimately analyse that data. SIEM systems do this well, with many now linking to profiling and identity warehouse technologies to help create this meta-warehouse. This is another movement to the generally accepted view of 'big data'. Whilst this central warehouse is now very possible, the end result, is still only really trying to speed up the process of finding failures further up the identity food chain.
I've talked about the concept of 'identity intelligence' a few times in the past. There is a lot of talk about moving from big data to big intelligence and security analytics is jumping on this band wagon too. But in reality, intelligence in this sense is really just helping to identify the failings faster. This isn't a bad thing, but ultimately it's not particularly sustainable or actual going to push the architecture forward to help 'cure' the identified failures. It's still quite reactive. A more proactive approach is to apply 'intelligence' at every component of the identity food chain to help make identity management more agile, responsive and aligned to business requirements. I'm not advocating what those steps should be, but it will encompass an approach and mindset more than just a set of tools and rest heavily on a graph based view of identity.
By analyzing the 'who has accessed' part of the identity food chain, we can gain yet more insight in to who and what should be created and approved, within the directories and databases that under pin internal and web based user stores. Ultimately this may make the access review component redundant once and for all.
