ARCHIVED - Telecom Order CRTC 2012-517
Ottawa, 25 September 2012
TELUS Communications Company – Withdrawal of service charges for residential customers
File numbers: TCBC Tariff Notice 4355, TCC Tariff Notices 437 and 437A, TCI Tariff Notices 642 and 642A
1. The Commission received three applications from TELUS Communications Company (TCC), dated 13 July 2012, two of which were amended on 25 July 2012. In its applications, TCC proposed changes to its General Tariffs (CRTC 21461, CRTC 18001, and CRTC 1005) to eliminate service charges related to the following services to residential customers: Name Display Change; Changing, Adding or Removing Directory Information; Calling Feature Password Reset; Remove Call Guardian / Toll Restriction Services; Call Forwarding / Smart Ring Number Changes; and Special Telephone Number Request.
2. TCC stated that these service charges had initially been introduced to minimize the number of customer requests regarding changes to related services. However, the company indicated that it does not currently receive a significant number of these types of requests and that it does not anticipate a significant increase in them if the service charges are eliminated. TCC also stated that eliminating the service charges would simplify procedures for its call centre agents and improve customer satisfaction.
3. TCC indicated that its monthly rates for the related services include markups that are sufficient to cover the associated service charges.
4. The Commission approved TCC's applications on an interim basis in Telecom Order CRTC 2012-418, 1 August 2012.
5. The Commission received no comments regarding TCC's applications. The public record of this proceeding, which closed on 24 August 2012 for Tariff Notice 4355 and on 6 September 2012 for Tariff Notices 437, 437A, 642, and 642A, is available on the Commission's website at www.crtc.gc.ca under "Public Proceedings" or by using the file numbers provided above.
6. The Commission notes that although TCC has proposed to eliminate the above-mentioned service charges, the related services will continue to be available. The Commission considers, based on TCC's submissions, that the elimination of the service charges would benefit both TCC and its residential customers.
7. In light of the above, the Commission approves on a final basis TCC's applications, effective the date of this order.

Wiznet will no longer work and all of the extraneous features like Confucious and bug reporting will not work.
The hosting files are still available at a different address.
However, given the direction BYOND was going when I more or less stopped coming here, it's likely the game won't even run on newer versions of Dream Maker because the BYOND developers went full sellout and stuck ads in the software. Last I heard, there was going to be a mandatory minimum version number to prevent people from simply not updating to the spyware versions. Make sure you blame the correct party if IU stops working.

Hope all those that I connected with when I was younger here are doing well. I love and dearly miss this game and the times I had with it. R.I.P. to the best game of Byond.
I've gone through probably around 20 keys in my time on BYOND, but the earliest moniker I can remember going by is Leon. Needless to say, I'm positive all of us love and miss you equally, Blue.
I just moved the host files to a Dropbox, so they should be available for download from the hub page again.

Photos from ten years ago
Old photos from March 2009
Post date Sun 31 March 2019
2 Comments on Old photos from March 2009
Here's another one of my regular posts of ten year old photos.
That month I upgraded to a Nokia N95 phone, which took far better photos than its predecessor, the Nokia 6230i.
Swanston Street opposite the City Square – the old pre-platform tram stops. I'd actually been trying to take a photo of my London Oyster card with the trams in the background. The camera consistently failed to get the Oyster card in focus, but the crowds packing onto the trams are probably more interesting to look at now. (Remember, this was before the Free Tram Zone was instituted.)
At the time I regularly used Glenhuntly Station some days, after dropping the kids at school. Here's the outbound platform one morning…
…and the level crossing in the afternoon.
Easter was approaching. In Centre Road we see a rather cruel way to treat the Easter bunny.
Supermarket trolley as art? As in the photo above, the level crossing (now gone) is in the background. It also appears at the time that Telstra didn't take great care to keep their payphones clean. This is also adjacent to the old electorate office of then state member for Bentleigh, Rob Hudson.
A trip to the Yarra Trams control centre, then in Eastern Road, South Melbourne. I'm not sure these days that they'd let me take a photo.
Footscray station, before 2009-2010 pedestrian bridge upgrade, and before the Regional Rail Link added two extra tracks (and resulted in the upgraded bridge being partly demolished so it could be extended). These photos were taken for an April Fools Day gag.
I must have been up early this morning. Hot air balloons over the City.
I went to the Grand Prix. I have little interest in Formula 1 cars – I went to see The Who perform after the race. Here we have trams to the GP departing from outside Southern Cross Station.
I wandered around the GP circuit waiting for the concert to start. I'd have to admit the cars are impressive from an ear-splittingly-loud and very fast perspective.
The Who was excellent.
While the tram shuttles back into the City were very good, those heading outwards were less impressive (this is St Kilda Junction), and the rest of the network was running its standard poor Sunday night frequencies, so I had to wait ages for a train home. The next day I got this point into Hansard.

I've noticed the PID on Platform 1 at West Footscray now advises to change at Footscray for Flinders Street (if a City Loop train) or for City Loop (if one of the Flinders Street trains, presumably to catch the express behind it). I wonder why Footscray rather than North Melbourne, since it is easier to interchange at North Melbourne. Will there be more complicated PID travel advice once the Metro Tunnel opens?

Cleveland Cavaliers jump in James Harden trade, steal Jarrett Allen and make big addition to growing young core
Jarrett Allen, set to be acquired by the Cleveland Cavaliers, has been one of the league's best rim protectors over the last few years. AP
By Chris Fedor, cleveland.com
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Cleveland Cavaliers have always coveted a player like Jarrett Allen -- a bouncy defensive anchor that can grow with, and protect, their young undersized guards.
It's why they attempted to trade for Indiana Pacers defensive linchpin Myles Turner at the deadline in February before getting rebuffed. It's why they eventually made the deal for Andre Drummond, pre-spending their salary cap space to bring the two-time All-Star aboard, always expecting him to opt into his contract, which he did.
The Cavs have seen Drummond's impact. They went 4-4 with him in the lineup during 2019-20. They are 5-6 in games he's played this season.
Tuesday night was Drummond's first absence of the season because of an Achilles contusion, and the Cavs got blasted by 30 points. It was also uncoincidentally their worst defensive showing, allowing the Jazz to score 117 points on 50% from the field and 53.3% from 3-point range.
Drummond's arrival nearly one year ago was the first move that showed a commitment to improving on defense -- the core of coach J.B. Bickerstaff's desired identity.
But Drummond is set to be an unrestricted free agent this offseason and initial conversations with him haven't gone well. An exit this summer was looking more likely, if not getting flipped in a trade earlier than that. The Cavs knew they didn't have much control over that outcome. JaVale McGee, who started in Drummond's spot Tuesday night, is in the final year of his contract as well. Before Wednesday's shrewd move, the Cavs were staring at a thin center depth chart beyond this season -- and a limited path to changing that.
When Brooklyn called Wednesday afternoon, the Cavs willingly jumped into the four-team agreed-upon James Harden blockbuster that sent shockwaves through the NBA -- and stole one of the league's top up-and-coming bigs.
Brooklyn got what it wanted, snagging Harden -- the lethal scorer and crown jewel of the swap -- and teaming him with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving (if he ever returns from personal leave) to form a daunting trio. They gave up Allen, recognizing they couldn't afford to keep him beyond this year. The Houston Rockets probably feel better about their future with a haul of draft picks to ignite a rebuild. Indiana swapped Victor Oladipo for Caris LeVert and saved money in the process.
The Cavs benefitted as well, adding Allen and swingman Taurean Prince in exchange for Dante Exum, the unprotected Milwaukee Bucks' 2022 first-round pick that lost some value with Giannis Antetokounmpo signing a max extension, and a 2024 second-round pick that one source called the worst asset in Cleveland's pile.
Prince, an essential throw-in to help Brooklyn move money, hasn't had a great year. But a change of scenery -- and perhaps greater opportunity -- could help revive his value. Prince will provide depth on the wing. A competitive and defensive-minded forward with the versatility to play 3 or 4, the 26-year-old former first-rounder gives the Cavs another healthy rotational piece as they continue to battle attrition.
But make no mistake: This move was about Allen -- a guy the Cavs had near the top of their 2021 free agency board and were prepared to make a run at this offseason.
"Delighted," a source said when asked to describe the feeling in the building. "You get a guy who is 22 years old and just about to go into the prime of his career with our growing young core. To acquire a player of that magnitude, of that age, that's why we acquired those assets, to have these opportunities."
The Cavs have liked the 6-foot-11 Allen for years, going back to the 2017 NBA Draft. A few months ago in free agency, sources say members of Cleveland's front office talked to Brooklyn about Allen's availability as a potential Tristan Thompson replacement. At that time, the win-now Nets weren't interested in moving on, especially given his low salary number and the way he played inside the Bubble.
Allen has carried that into this season, averaging 11.2 points on 67.7% shooting from the field to go with 10.4 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.6 blocks in 12 games. He ranks 10th in rebounds and ninth in blocks.
On offense, he's an efficient pick-and-roll finisher and high-flying lob threat who doesn't eat up possessions or need plays called for him to make an impact -- an important characteristic on a team with ball-dominant guards Collin Sexton and Darius Garland. With numbers pointing to Allen as a lethal pick-and-roll partner alongside Irving, the Cavs have visions of a successful Garland-Allen combination, helping unlock another area of Garland's budding game. Dating back to 2018-19, only Rudy Gobert has been used as a screener more in that particular set.
At the other end, he's a heady backbone and elite rim protector, ranking fourth in the NBA in field goal percentage against in terms of players with at least 250 field goals defended over the last two seasons.
What's the best way to minimize the deficiencies that come with playing two small guards? Surround them with defensive-minded pieces.
The Cavs have enough early data to highlight the size and rim protection impact on this group. With Drummond and McGee roaming the paint, Larry Nance Jr. disrupting passing lanes and rookie Isaac Okoro pestering opponents on the perimeter, the Cavs have risen to the top of the league in defensive rating -- an extraordinary turnaround for a team that ranked last two years in a row.
In the short term, Cleveland's center spot is a bit cluttered. Thon Maker will be waived and the Cavs have already received calls about McGee, sources say.
While the veteran seems most likely to get squeezed by the Allen addition, the rash of injuries throughout the first few weeks makes depth an asset. It will be up to Bickerstaff to balance minutes and make the pieces fit. Drummond, who has been fully engaged and upped the franchise's competitiveness level since arriving last year, is said to be on board with a center rotation similar to Brooklyn with DeAndre Jordan and Allen. Sources say Drummond texted general manager Koby Altman shortly after the news broke, calling it a "great trade."
The Cavs have invested numerous resources into fixing their defense. They didn't want to lose any of that positive momentum. They couldn't afford to regress. With uncertainty surrounding Drummond's future, they need some protection. Even if Drummond would've stayed in Cleveland beyond this year, the Cavs were planning to search for another frontcourt piece.
Potential free agency target Bam Adebayo was off the market, signing a massive extension in Miami. Rudy Gobert inked a new deal in Utah, eliminating him from the potential plans. Anthony Davis, always a pipedream anyway, unsurprisingly chose to stay in Los Angeles.
What's the point of having cap space if there's no one to spend it on?
In many ways, that money was earmarked for Allen, who is a restricted free agent. Only this way the Cavs have more control. They inherited his Bird rights, can potentially match any offer sheet and are optimistic about their chances of signing him to a lucrative long-term contract. They didn't give up a first-round pick to let him bolt.
Now the Cavs have 50-plus games to show Allen this is where he belongs -- at the center of a promising young core that features Garland, Sexton, Okoro, Nance, Dylan Windler and Kevin Porter Jr.
Consider this their free agency pitch -- about six months earlier than expected.

May 7, 2009 - Cologne, Germany
With a population just less than one million, Cologne is Germany's fourth-largest city, after Berlin, Hamburg and Munich. Cologne lies on the River Rhine and is one of the oldest cities in Germany, having been founded by the Romans in the year 38 BC. The famous cathedral is the largest in Germany. Slideshow here.Cologne is also famous for Eau de Cologne, created by an Italian expatriate Johann Maria Farina early in the 18th century. As the fragrance gained popularity, a merchant named Wilhelm Mülhens negotiated the right to use the name Farina, and promptly opened a small factory in Glockengasse. Like oth er "hot item"agreements, this one ultimately ended up in court, at which time Wilhelm's grandson Ferdinand Mülhens renamed the product 4711, the house number of the factory in Glockengasse. Both products are still made in the city to this day.
Demographically, Cologne has 100 females for each 95 males and seems to revel in its renown as the "gay capital of the world". Perhaps there is a connection here...
Carnival season is another Cologne biggie, beginning each year on 11 November at 11 minutes past 11 a.m. and continuing, for an entire 3 months or so, until Ash Wednesday. Things apparently really amp up during the last week, when the street carnival starts, it is claimed, with as many as a million people celebrating in the streets on the Thursday before Ash Wednesday. Backstory here.
The landmark cathedral was started in 1248, abandoned around 1560 and finally, finished with a flourish in 1880, to become a German national monument celebrating the newly founded German empire. During the final throes of completion - after 600 plus years of foot-dragging - a large amount of historic heritage was simply torn down, including the city walls, to show the building at its best. During World War II, Cologne was a Military Area Command Headquarters and sustained 262 air raids by the Allies, causing almost 20,000 civilian casualties and effectively razing the city center. During the night of 31 May 1942, Cologne was visited by "Operation Millennium", the first 1,000 bomber raid by the Royal Air Force. 1,046 heavy bombers dropped 1,455 tons of bombs on the city in 75 minutes, killing nearly 500 civilians and rendering a further 59,000 homeless. In 1947, architect Rudolf Schwarz produced a reconstruction plan which took advantage of the sparse remnants of th e city center by including several new thoroughfares designed for anticipated automobile traffic. The project also called for the eradication of more than a dozen historical churches and other architectural treasures, exacerbating the destruction of heritage begun in 1880. The reconstruction finally took almost 50 years.The cathedral, officially Hohe Domkirche St. Peter und Maria, is a World Heritage Site and one of the most recognized architectural monuments in Germany. At 478 feet long, 280 feet wide and with two towers, each 520 feet high, it is the largest Gothic church in northern Europe and has the largest facade of any church in the world. For a few years, it was also the tallest structure in the world until being bested by the Washington Memorial in 1884.
May 4, 2009 - A plan is forming...
Arnhem is on the Lower Rhine and, since our route into Germany more or less followed the river upstream, we decided that this was our plan and we would follow it further to see where it leads. The Rhineland is a pretty big chunk of western and north-western Germany and only fell into German hands in the early 19th century following one of the collapses of the French Empire, to which it belonged at the time. The southern part is Rhineland-Palatinate while Rhineland-Westphalia is to the north and is the part that borders on the Netherlands. Westphalia includes the Ruhr Valley, the highest population density area of Germany. By and large, this area is the epicenter of the German economic machine and not a particularly popular tourist region.
Our journey through the area was somewhat skewed by poor weather but nonetheless, thoroughly enjoyed. We didn't do any walkabouts in the cities along the way mainly because those we looked at had been massively spoiled during WWII and were redolent of hasty, low-cost, post war construction. We did however, continue improving the creature comforts of Penny and generally settling in to our temporary lifestyle.

May 3rd, 2009 - Arnhem, NL
The title of the 1977 WWII movie, A Bridge Too Far, actually refers to the bridge over the River Nederrijn (Lower Rhine) in Arnhem, Netherlands. Specifically, the name comes from a comment made by British Lieutenant-General Frederick Browning to Field Marshal Montgomery, the operation's architect, "I think we may be going a bridge too far."
The film approximates the story, and ultimate failure, of Operation Market-Garden, the Allied attempt to break through German lines in September 1944. Despite (or maybe because of) a stellar cast including Dirk Bogarde, James Caan, Michael Caine, Sean Connery, Denholm Elliott, Elliott Gould, Edward Fox, Gene Hackman, Anthony Hopkins, Jeremy Kemp, Laurence Olivier, Robert Redford, Liv Ullmann, Maximilian Schell, Hardy Krüger and Ryan O'Neal the movie was a ho-hum performer at the box office.
An earlier (1946) movie, Theirs Is the Glory, covering the same events, was cast mainly with people who had been involved in the operation and mixed newsreel footage from the actual battle with re-enactments shot on location in Arnhem. John Frost, the British airborne officer and first Allied combatant to arrive in Arnhem, was one of many who played himself in the earlier movie. A thoroughly despicable consequence of the operation's failure was the Hongerwinter (Hungerwinter). In retribution for Dutch railroad workers aiding the allies during the assault, Germany forbade food transportation into the region, utimately starving thousands of Dutch citizens to death.
Anyway, enough cheery banter; time to winge on about Arnhem, 2009. At 114,000 population, one of the largest cities in the Netherlands, there did not appear to be a lot going on. Much history of course, was lost in WWII and, outside of a few run down churches and a collection of hideous sculptures, there is little to Ooh and Aah at. Slideshow here.
The post-war utilitarian bridge that replaced the one destroyed in the war, was renamed John Foster Bridge in 1978 although Foster modestly objected. Having seen the bridge he should perhaps, have been more assertive. Campsite Backstory, Arnhem Backstory.
May 1, 2009 - Provisioning Penny
At 16,000 square miles, the Netherlands is about half the size of North Carolina and is home to 16 million people - somewhere between the population of Florida and Illinois. Geographically, it is a low lying country with large areas claimed from the North Sea. More than 10 million of the inhabitants live in the 27% of the country that is actually below sea level. It is not true that windmills are Dutch attempts at helicopters.
Today, there is serious stuff to do. Must get propane cylinders, shore power cord, big red sign for the bike rack, a roll of anti-skid material for the table and chocolate. As it turned out, all was accomplished with great ease in the suburb of Nieuwegein and we began to feel really secure in our little van, especially now we had chocolate. Although this picture is from Nieuwegein, they had hidden the nice part from our view.
Wow, that was Great!
Nine weeks, eight countries, countless baguettes, three thousand miles of motoring, 250 miles of cycling and 160 of walking, we arrived home from Europe in denial of some serious weight gain. But, what are treadmills for, if not for taking the smile off one's face while prepping for the next outing :o( Meanwhile, we have about 8,000 photographs to organize and connect with the sixty or seventy cities and sights we had the pleasure of visiting, so at least we have a valid reason for lounging around enjoying the Indiana summer.

An update from Archbishop Lori
By Archbishop William E. Lori
Filed Under: Archbishop's Ministry, Coronavirus, Feature, Giving, Local News, News
Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ,
We are living through an unprecedented time that has upended our routines and daily lives, forcing us to remain apart and preventing our gatherings for liturgy and the celebration of the sacraments that define our Catholic life.
I have been so deeply moved by the response of our priests, deacons, and parishioners during the pandemic. So many are demonstrating such remarkable efforts to ensure that their fellow parishioners remain connected to our faith and liturgical life through live-streaming of liturgies, Eucharistic adoration, online spiritual reflections and special prayer services offered by priests, deacons and lay leaders.
For a list of resources, please visit: Coronavirus Resources
It is with gratitude and pride that I can report that a number of Catholic schools in our Archdiocese are utilizing 3D printers to make facemasks for hospitals, while also donating science lab goggles and other materials on hand to healthcare workers.
There are blood drives being hosted at our available facilities, along with efforts by some parishes to collect personal protective equipment essential for medical professionals treating those afflicted with the coronavirus. And then, of course, our devoted men and women of Catholic Charities continue their tremendous ministries – providing take-away meals, shelter and assistance for the homeless and those in dire need, senior care, and support for young people in unstable living arrangements.
Our parishes face an additional threat brought on by the coronavirus, however, given the inability to celebrate Masses with your presence and to benefit from your generous support which allows them to sustain their ministries and outreach. Currently, most are experiencing a significant decline in financial support. For that reason I urge you to continue to support your parish community by maintaining your weekly financial support even during these difficult circumstances.
Even as I appeal for your ongoing generosity to our parishes, I realize that many have been personally impacted by the coronavirus outbreak. As such, I urge you to give what you can and what your personal circumstances allow. If your parish offers automatic giving, please make use of this approach. Additionally, working with GiveCentral, the Archdiocese has recently established an even easier way for supporting your parish. While anyone may use the GiveCentral site, this capability is especially useful for parishes that do not already have the means to accept online donations. By visiting and clicking on the PARISH GIVING link, you can contribute directly to your own parish through an easy-to-use, secure portal. Simply select your parish from the menu and make your online contribution.
You may be assured that even though we are unable at this time to gather together around the Table of the Lord, the priests of our Archdiocese and I continue to offer Mass daily for your needs and intentions. I encourage you to share with me your personal concerns at PRAYER REQUESTS with the assurance that I will remember them during my daily Mass.
As we continue our Lenten journey toward the joy of His resurrection, let us unite constantly in prayer and support for one another with the sure knowledge that the Lord in His faithfulness will lead us through these days of uncertainty, calm our every fear and gather us together once again in His abiding love.
Faithfully Yours in Christ,
Most Reverend William E. Lori
Archbishop of Baltimore
Archbishop William E. Lori was installed as the 16th Archbishop of Baltimore May 16, 2012.
Prior to his appointment to Baltimore, Archbishop Lori served as Bishop of the Diocese of Bridgeport, Conn., from 2001 to 2012 and as Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Washington from 1995 to 2001.
A native of Louisville, Ky., Archbishop Lori holds a bachelor's degree from the Seminary of St. Pius X in Erlanger, Ky., a master's degree from Mount St. Mary's Seminary in Emmitsburg and a doctorate in sacred theology from The Catholic University of America. He was ordained to the priesthood for the Archdiocese of Washington in 1977.
In addition to his responsibilities in the Archdiocese of Baltimore, Archbishop Lori serves as Supreme Chaplain of the Knights of Columbus and is the former chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' Ad Hoc Committee for Religious Liberty.

#EndSARS Protests Crumbled Because Of Tinubu's 2023 Ambition – Nnamdi Kanu
Leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, has blamed Bola Tinubu for faliure of the 2020 #EndSARS Protest which stormed the country.
Kanu said the protest failed to produce a revolution because of the alleged ambition of Bola Tinubu, to become president in 2023.
2023: Nnamdi Kanu blames Tinubu for #EndSARD Protests Faliure
Kanu argued that the "Yoruba" media watered down the EndSARS protest to prevent Nigeria from collapsing so that Tinubu could be president by 2023.
The IPOB leader argued that the plan of the Fulani was to sow discord and disunity in southern Nigeria, to prevent them from presenting a common front.
Kanu stated these in a special live broadcast on Sunday, while lamenting that the EndSARS protest was an avenue for the oppressed people to regain their freedom from the oppressors.
He said, "The Yoruba are trying to protect their interests because they know, by 2023, there is every likelihood that they may rig Tinubu into office.
"I remember EndSARS very well. When you come out for a revolution, you must go to the end. When next you are planning to protest, go and study the history of revolution – Russian, French and the George Washington revolution in America. If you think a revolution is to come out on the streets, dance to musicians, no, it is not.
"When the revolution failed was when the Yoruba media allowed themselves to be used. They thought if Nigeria collapsed, Tinubu would not be president in 2023. They kept bringing in tribal, religion and other issues. Had we remained on the streets, forgetting about the palliatives, by now, the zoo would have collapsed.
"They (the Fulani) know that it becomes impossible to penetrate us. So for them to succeed, they have to bring a very clever plot. Unfortunately, the Yoruba media is in support and I have warned them repeatedly. I have warned my Yoruba friends that this double game you are playing will consume you.
"And today, they are in Yoruba land, killing and taking over their forests. If not for the bravery of the Eastern Security Network, I do not think that the Amotekun would have the courage to confront the Fulani herdsmen in their forests."

Shabbat, the Jewish Sabbath, happens every week at the University of Miami Hillel Braman Miller Center; however, on Jan. 26, the center hosted its annual Presidential Shabbat where first lady Felicia Knaul stressed the importance of justice in today's world.
Knaul and Frenk continued the annual tradition which began 10 years ago with former UM President Donna Shalala. Every year, the Hillel center hosts the president of the university and family for a Shabbat service and dinner.
Shabbat service ushers in the Jewish Sabbath or day of rest. During the weekly services, candles are lit and music fills the air. Following the service, the evening meal is served and starts with blessings recited over two loaves of challah, special bread in Jewish cuisine typically eaten on ceremonial occasions.
Knaul, UM professor and director of the University of Miami Institute for Advanced Study of the Americas, was asked to speak about the reading from the Torah. The passage she spoke about featured one of the few prophetesses in the Torah, and to cap off social justice week, she had a personal message to add to the reading.
Frenk's personal connection to Judaism goes back to his Jewish grandfather, who fled to Mexico from Nazi Germany. Knaul identifies as a Jewish woman and is the daughter of a Holocaust survivor.
Frenk said he was grateful to have Hillel host him and his family.
"I really value the presence of Hillel and the vibrancy of our Jewish life on campus," he said.
Junior Jessica Hamorsky, who was attending her first Shabbat, said Frenk's presence at the service made UM stand out from other universities.
Correction, Jan. 29, 2018: This article previously stated that Knaul was asked to read a passage from the Torah. Knaul was asked to speak about the passage read at the service.


Generally speaking, the topic of surrogate parenthood has not been one without controversy for its has been abounding in lots of controversy, with some supporting it and at the same time there are those who don't support it as much. This said and done, there are sure benefits to surrogate motherhood and it does happen to be such a fit for the personal style of many women. Should you be musing or holding to the idea and do fit the criteria of being a surrogate mother, then you may just want to learn some more on the benefits you may have being a surrogate mother. The following are some of the positive aspects of surrogacy you may want to start with.
One of the top benefits of being a surrogate mother is that of the personal satisfaction that this brings to your life. By and large, the aspect of getting to help others has been one of the strongest motivations that has led many to consider surrogacy. As a matter of fact, one of the hardest of struggles that many couples have to face in the unfortunate is the inability to bear children. By and large, by opting to be a surrogate you will have the opportunity of choosing the family to assist and this allows you to pick on the one that has a similar outlook as your own. The fact is that the process of surrogacy has been established to be one process that will allow you develop such strong feelings of personal satisfaction in the knowledge that you will be making such a dramatic contribution to the life experience of some couple.
The other worthy benefit of surrogacy is that of the financial compensation. By far and large, it is a fact that over and above the medical care and the like benefits to be seen on surrogacy, the financial benefits that one gets to enjoy from being a surrogate mother are far more as compared to the others. As a surrogate mother, you stand to be compensated in the services of pregnancy and delivery by the intended parents and this is how the surrogacy programs run. Asking how much you may earn as a surrogate mother, this depends on your geographical location and as well whether you choose to run your own surrogacy or you go through a surrogacy agency. Surrogacy agencies have been known to pay as high as $45,000.
Choosing to be a surrogate mother as well benefits in the fact that you happen to enjoy that emotional connection. This is with regards to the fact that the process of surrogacy and as you carry the child in your pregnancy stages, there will be the involvement and sharing of the pregnancy with your intended parents and this happens to end in such strong bonds that last a while if not a lifetime.

Q: Waiting for execvp in main int main()
{
    ...
    if(!fork())
        {
            execvp(cmdName,cmdParam);
        }
    printf("In main()...");
return(0);
}

*

*Assuming I have correctly passed the cmdName & cmdParam arguments, how do I wait for the process created by execvp to finish, before resuming the execution of main()?

*Does the execvp() create a process which is a child of the newly fork()ed process?

A: *

*In the parent process, fork returns the PID of the child process, so you can store that in a variable, and then use waitpid to wait for the child process to terminate.

*Not really - the new child process created by fork is a duplicate of the parent, and execvp then replaces its process image with a new image. Effectively you initially have two 'copies' of the parent, one of which then 'becomes' the new program.

A: For your first question:
Use waitpid(2) like this:
int pid = fork();
if (!pid)
  {
    execvp(cmdName, cmdParam);
  }
waitpid(pid, NULL, 0);
printf("Resuming main()...\n");

For the second part: all exec function calls take the process over (none of them return)

A: As noted you need to save the value of the fork call. You should really use more than an if on the fork. There are three cases:

*

*0: you're the child process

*
0: you're the parent and got a child PID back

*-1: something horrible happened and fork failed

You really want to know about case 3, it'll ruin your whole day.  (also the exec call)
int main() {
  int pid = fork();
  if(-1 == pid) {
     fprintf(stderr, "Big problems forking %s\n", strerror(errno);
     exit(-1);//or whatever
  }
  else if (0 == pid) {
    if (-1 == execvp(cmdName,cmdParam)) {
      //like above, get some output about what happened
    }
  }
  //no need to else here, execvp  shouldn't return
  // if it does you've taken care of it above
  waitpid(pid, NULL, 0);
  printf("Resuming main()...");
}

return(0);
}

A: You need to store the return value of fork(), which returns a different value to each executable (0 if you are the child PID if you are the parent), and then you need to do a waitpid

Oakland County Aggravated Assault Lawyer Paul J. Tafelski Discusses Aggravated Assault Charges in the State of Michigan
Oakland County aggravated assault lawyer Paul J. Tafelski releases a new article (https://www.michigandefenselaw.com/aggravated-assault-lawyer/) that discusses aggravated assault charges in the state of Michigan. The lawyer mentions that aggravated assault is something where "the victim suffers obvious severe or aggravated bodily injury involving apparent broken bones, loss of teeth, possible internal injury, severe laceration or loss of consciousness."
"Felonious assault is a very serious crime, and the penalties and consequences for someone accused and convicted of felonious assault can be life-changing. It is important that you understand your legal rights if you have been accused and charged with aggravated assault, battery, or felonious assault," the Oakland County aggravated assault lawyer says.
The lawyer mentions that an aggravated assault may rise to felony assault if there is any use of a weapon or if the defendant displayed a weapon with the intention to harm someone. These weapons include guns, knives, iron bars, clubs, brass knuckles, and others.
Attorney Tafelski explains that whether someone uses a deadly weapon or not, an aggravated assault can still become a felony assault if the victim suffered a serious or apparent injury. If the defendant placed the victim in fear of an imminent battery, this can also be considered an assault.
In the article, attorney Tafelski says that an aggravated assault can be charged as anything from a misdemeanor aggravated assault to a serious felony. The state will determine the charges to file based on the facts included in the case. Some factors that are used to determine an assault charge include the presence of a weapon, the intentions of the accused, the identity of the victim, the relationship between the accused and the victim, and the previous criminal history of the defendant.
Furthermore, the criminal defense lawyer adds that if someone is convicted of felonious assault or aggravated assault, they can be sentenced to up to four years in prison and a fine of up to $2000. For a misdemeanor assault, the punishment is less serious and can be punishable by up to 93 days in jail and/or a fine of not more than $500.
Lastly, attorney Tafelski says that an aggravated assault charge can have an unpredictable impact on the life of the accused. This is why it is very important to seek the help of an experienced aggravated assault attorney. Having a skilled lawyer may be able to help the accused understand their legal right and help them achieve the best possible outcome.
