Apple Pay is a convenient new way to pay at hundreds of thousands of merchants and mobile apps using your Institution for Savings Visa® Debit Card and your iPhone 6®, 6 Plus®, Apple Watch®, iPad Air 2® or iPad mini 3™. Reaching for your wallet will become a thing of the past!
2. Is Apple Pay Safe?
Yes. Apple Pay is even more secure than using a traditional card. Instead of using your actual debit card number, Apple Pay assigns, encrypts and stores a unique device account number on a dedicated chip on your device. When you make a purchase, that device account number is used to process your payment. Your actual debit card number is never shared with merchants or transmitted with payment, helping reduce the potential for fraud.
3. What type of device do I need to use Apple Pay?
To use Apple Pay in stores you must have an iPhone 6 or 6 Plus or an Apple Watch. Within mobile apps, Apple Pay is compatible with iPhone 6, 6 Plus, iPad Air 2 or iPad mini 3.
4. Do all merchants accept Apple Pay?
Not all merchants have adopted this technology. Please continue to carry your actual debit card to use where Apple Pay is not accepted. Most merchants will display the contactless payment and/or Apple Pay symbol to let you know they accept contactless payments. A list of merchants and mobile apps that accept Apple Pay can be found here.
5. Is Apple Pay available internationally?
At this time, Apple Pay is only available in collaboration with certain U.S. financial institutions. The availability of Apple Pay outside the U.S. is determined by Apple.
1. How do I begin using Apple Pay?
Before making a payment with your Apple device you will need to follow a few simple steps to enroll in Apple Pay and add your Institution for Savings Debit Card.
First, open the Passbook app on your device (Apple Watch users open the Apple Watch app), scroll down to Passbook & Apple Pay, select Add Credit or Debit Card.
If your Institution for Savings Debit Card is already on file with iTunes, you have the option to use it as your default account for Apple Pay. You can do this by entering the security code on the back of your debit card.
To add a new debit card to Apple Pay, use your device's camera to enter your debit card information. If your device's camera does not detect your Institution for Savings Debit Card number you will need to enter it manually.
Please note: If you wish to use the same debit card on both your Apple Watch and iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus, you must add the debit card twice, once to the Passbook app using the first method listed above for the iPhone, and again as described for the Apple Watch. Debit cards added in one Apple Pay management app are not automatically transferred between paired devices. You can use your debit card on up to 10 devices.
2. How do I make my Institution for Savings Debit Card my default card?
Select the Settings icon on your compatible Apple device (Apple Watch users open the Apple Watch app).
Scroll down and select Passbook & Apple Pay.
Select the Institution for Savings Debit Card you would like to use as your default card. If successful, a checkmark will appear next to that card.
3. How do I use Apple Pay to make purchases with my iPhone 6 or 6 Plus?
First, make sure that the merchant accepts Apple Pay. Look for these contactless payment and/or Apple Pay symbols at checkout.
When making purchases using the iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus at a merchant equipped with a contactless payment terminal, simply hold your device over the terminal and accept the charge with your fingerprint or passcode when prompted. A subtle vibration and beep will let you know your purchase was successful.
4. How do I use Apple Pay to make purchases with my Apple Watch?
Once you confirm that the merchant accepts Apple Pay, unlock your Apple Watch if needed by entering your four digit PIN. Double Tap the small button on the side of the Apple Watch to display your debit card. To make a payment, hold the Apple Watch a few centimeters away from the contactless payment terminal with the display facing towards the reader. A gentle vibration and beep will let you know your purchase was successful.
5. Will I have to enter a PIN or sign a receipt?
It depends on the merchant. In some cases you may need to sign a receipt or enter your PIN. If asked to verify the last four digits of your debit card number when making a purchase, provide the last four digits of the device account number. The device account number can be found by selecting the Settings icon on your compatible Apple device (Apple Watch users launch the Apple Watch app). Then scroll down to Passbook & Apple Pay, select the card and scroll down to view the Device Account Number.
6. What stores and mobile apps accept Apple Pay?
You can use Apple Pay to make payments in stores and within mobile apps that display the contactless payments and/or Apply Pay symbols at checkout.
Currently, you can use Apple Pay at more than 220,000 locations, including Bloomingdale's®, McDonald's®, Macy's®, Nike® and Staples®. For a complete list of merchants, click here.
7. How will Apple Pay transactions appear on my statement?
All transactions completed with Apple Pay will appear on your Institution for Savings statement as a typical point-of-sale transaction.
8. Will Passbook show my recent transactions?
When you view your Institution for Savings Debit Card in Passbook, you will see the last transaction for each debit card. You can also view the 10 most recent transactions for each debit card. Just select the card in Passbook, then select Transactions.
9. What if I need to return an item?
The return process varies by merchant. You may need to present a receipt from the merchant to return the item. To complete the return, hold your iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus or Apple Watch over the contactless payment terminal and wait for the slight vibration of the device to confirm the refund has been processed. You must use the same Apple Pay enabled device you used to purchase the item to process the return.
1. What should I do when I receive a new or replacement debit card?
When your debit card enrolled in Apple Pay expires, or is replaced due to loss, theft or fraud, you will need to add it to Apple Pay as if it were new – either using the device camera or by manually adding the information. You must first delete your old debit card from Apple Pay.
2. What should I do if I lose, replace, or update my device?
Please note that when you report your card as lost or stolen, a replacement card will not be automatically reordered for you. To order a new or replacement ATM or Debit Card, please visit one of our offices.
You can continue to make purchases using your actual debit card even when the device account number is suspended on Apple Pay.
If you replace or update your Apple device, your debit card will not be transferred automatically. You will need to set up Apple Pay again and add your debit card to the new device.
3. If I sell or give my Apple device to someone else, what will happen to the digital account information on the device?
When selling or giving away your Apple device you should make sure you delete all digital accounts in Apple Pay. Alternatively, you may reset your phone to factory settings which will also remove all digital accounts.
4. Where can I view and manage my debit card in Apple Pay?
For iPhone 6, 6 Plus, iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 3: You can view and manage your debit card in Apple Pay by going to Settings and selecting Passbook & Apple Pay. By selecting your debit card, you can view Transactions and manage the settings associated with your debit card. iPhone 6 can also view by tapping the where you can view Transactions and manage the settings associated with your debit card.
For Apple Watch (when paired with iPhone 5, 5C or 5S): You can view and manage your debit card within the Apple Watch app on your iPhone 5, 5C or5S.

Q: How can I pass a value from one SSRS subreport to another subreport under the same parent report I'm trying to pass a value created in a subreport expression to another subreport. Is it possible? How can it be done?
Here is the report structure:
Parent Report - gets Head Office ID as a parameter
Head Office Subreport - Uses parameter to display data including YearEnd in a text box TextBoxYE.
Tablix that looks up all branch office IDs of the head office (based on parameter value).
Branch Office subreport within Tablix displays report for each branch office.
Issue: Branch Office Subreport needs to display YearEnd of Head Office.
I've tried using a global variable but can't figure out how (or if I can) set the value of the variable in the Head Office subreport. Even though there is only one record in the data set, setting it within an expression in the Head Office report, every way I try to reference the field in the dataset  (MAX(First(YearEnd, (First(YearEnd and (YearEnd all throw various aggregation errors.
I tried ReportItems but that doesn't work outside the current scope of the dataset/report, so I don't think that can be used to reference a TextBox in another subreport.
Is there way to pass the value in TextBox TextBoxYE.Value from one subreport to another?
Thanks,

New, Temporary Regulations Explain Estate Tax Portability Election
IRS has issued long-awaited temporary and proposed regulations providing guidance on the requirements for electing portability of a deceased spousal unused exclusion amount ("DSUEA") to the surviving spouse, and on the rules for the surviving spouse's use of this DSUEA.
Background on the portability election. The Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010 added a new "portability feature" for estates of decedents dying after 2010 and before 2013, under which the applicable exclusion amount is the sum of (1) the "basic exclusion amount" (i.e., $5 million with an adjustment for inflation after 2011), and (2) in the case of a surviving spouse, the DSUEA. (I.R.C. § 2010(c)(2))
The DSUEA is the lesser of:
(1) the basic exclusion amount, or
(2) the excess of (i) the basic exclusion amount of the last deceased spouse of the surviving spouse, over (ii) the amount with respect to which the tentative tax is determined under I.R.C. § 2001(b)(1) on the estate of such deceased spouse. (I.R.C. §2010(c)(4)).
A surviving spouse may use the DSUEA in addition to her own $5 million exclusion (as indexed) for taxable transfers made during life or at death, but if a surviving spouse is predeceased by more than one spouse, the amount of unused exclusion that is available for use by the surviving spouse is limited to the lesser of $5 million or the unused exclusion of the last deceased spouse. (I.R.C. § 2010(c)(4)). The DSUEA cannot, however, be taken into account by a surviving spouse unless the executor of the estate of the deceased spouse elects to do so by timely filing an estate tax return on which the DSUEA is computed. Once filed, the IRS has the authority to examine the estate tax return of the deceased, to make determinations with respect to the calculation of the DSUEA, even after the statute of limitations on assessment has expired.
Here are some of the highlights of the temporary regulations on the DSUEA.
Making the portability election. Treas. Reg. § 20.2010-2T(a), requires an executor electing portability to make that election on a timely-filed estate tax return. The last return filed by the return due date, including extensions actually granted, will supersede any previously-filed return. Thus, an executor generally may supersede a previously-filed portability election on a subsequent timely-filed estate tax return. The estate tax return must be filed within nine months of the decedent's date of death, unless an extension of time for filing has been granted. A portability election is irrevocable once the due date (as extended) of the estate tax return has passed.
Filing of complete and properly prepared estate tax return. A number of commenters have asked the IRS for clarification of what was required under the Notice 2011-82 rule that the estate of a decedent (survived by a spouse) makes the portability election by timely filing a "complete and properly-prepared estate tax return" for the decedent's estate. Commentators also asked for relief for estates that are not required to file a return, but are doing so only to elect portability of the decedent's DSUEA.
In response, Treas. Reg. § 20.2010-2T(a)(7), provides that an estate tax return prepared in accordance with all applicable requirements is considered a "complete and properly-prepared" estate tax return. Executors of estates that are not otherwise required to file an estate tax return under do not have to report the value of certain property that qualifies for the marital or charitable deduction.
An executor who chooses to make use of this special rule in filing an estate tax return must estimate the total value of the gross estate (including the values of the property that do not have to be reported on the estate tax return under this provision), based on a determination made in good faith and with due diligence regarding the value of all of the assets includible in the gross estate. The Instructions for Form 706 will provide ranges of dollar values, and the executor must identify on the estate tax return the particular range within which falls the executor's best estimate of the total gross estate. By signing the return, the executor will be certifying, under penalties of perjury, that the estimate falls within the identified range of values to the best of the executor's knowledge and belief.
Executor responsible for making portability election. The administrator that is appointed, qualified, and acting within the U. S. for the decedent's estate (an appointed executor), may file an estate tax return to elect portability or to opt to have the portability election not apply. If there is no appointed executor, any person in actual or constructive possession of any property of the decedent (a "nonappointed executor") may file the estate tax return to elect portability or to opt to have the portability election not apply. A portability election made by a non-appointed executor cannot be superseded by a contrary election made by another non-appointed executor of that same decedent's estate. (Treas. Reg. § 20.2010-2T(a)(6)).
How to opt out of portability election. Under Treas. Reg. § 20.2010-2T(a)(3), an executor must make an affirmative statement on the estate tax return signifying the decision to have the portability election not apply. If no estate tax return is required, not filing an estate tax return will be considered to be an affirmative statement signifying the decision not to make a portability election.
Use of the DSUEA by the surviving spouse. Under Treas. Reg. § 20.2010-3T(c)(1) and Treas. Reg. § 20.2010-2T(d)(1), a portability election made by the executor of a decedent's estate is effective as of the date of the decedent's death. Thus, the DSUEA of a decedent survived by a spouse may be included in determining the applicable exclusion amount of the surviving spouse, subject to any applicable limitations, with respect to all transfers occurring after the death of the decedent, if the executor of the decedent's estate makes a portability election and the election is not superseded by the executor of the decedent's estate before the due date of the return, including extensions.
Under Treas. Reg. § 20.2010-1T(d)(5), the term "last deceased spouse" referred to in I.R.C. § 2010(c)(4)(B)(i) means the most recently deceased individual who was married to the surviving spouse at that individual's death, except that an individual dying before calendar year 2011 cannot be considered the last deceased spouse of such surviving spouse.
Other provisions. The Regulations also discuss the DSUEA where there are multiple spouses and previously applied DSUEAs, the IRS's authority to examine returns of deceased spouses, applicability of the portability rules to nonresidents who are not citizens, and the applicability of portability in case of qualified domestic trusts.

U.S. Senate Republicans have unanimously nominated Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, Senate president pro tempore.
Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, stands on stage at the Second Annual Harvest Festival on Saturday, Oct. 13, 2018. He serves as the Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
After the retirement of Sen. Orin Hatch, R-Utah, Iowa's senior senator, Chuck Grassley, a Republican, is set to assume a position that will put him third in line of succession for the presidency.
The position of Senate Pro Tempore is traditionally held by the longest-serving member of the Senate from the majority party. The position puts him third in the line of succession for the presidency, following the Vice President and the Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives.
Grassley will be officially elected to the position by the full Senate on Jan. 3.
Grassley, 85, was elected to the Senate in 1980 after serving in the U.S. House of Representatives and the state Legislature in Iowa.
Hatch will retire from the Senate, leaving his chairmanship of the Senate Finance Committee open. Grassley is currently a senior member of the committee and chaired it from 2001 to 2010, and is expected to soon announce whether or not he will leave his position as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee for the Finance Committee.


We can advise and assist in contract clauses that will protect your interests. Remember, should things not go as planned, everything comes back to what is contained in the contract. So it's best to ensure the contract covers you and your unique situation.
Finance – If you require finance from a lending institution, the contract must be made "subject to finance".
Consider any specific items to be included/excluded from the sale. Is the dishwasher included? Don't assume, ask the Agent/Vendor and have non-standard items specified in the contract to avoid any misunderstandings.
Any mortgages, easements and encumbrances registered on the Title.
Council approval for any developments on the property that have conditions still applicable, eg. land division applications or approval to build a second dwelling, shed or carport.
Any government notices issued against the property, eg. environmental protection, heritage listing, fences, etc.
If you wish to cool-off, you are required to provide written notice to the Vendor, specifically in the manner as set out in the Form 1. We can advise you on providing notice of your right to cool-off.
in certain circumstances where the sale involves a tender or option to purchase.
It is critical you understand your rights in relation to cooling-off. Please contact us as soon as possible after receiving the Form 1 so we can provide you with independent, professional advice.
It is also a good idea to contact the local Council before your cooling-off concludes to enquire about any current or future plans for the area in which you are purchasing.
Is there an encumbrance currently registered on the Title or are you required to execute and register a new encumbrance and pay the associated fees? We can advise you what it all means and if any costs apply.
Standard SA contracts provide that the property is at the risk of the Purchaser from the date of the contract. We advise that you arrange building insurance cover from the day of signing the contract.
We understand that being a first home owner can seem very daunting and overwhelming. We will assist you through every step and explain in plain terms what the process is.
Tenants in Common:. Tenants in Common may hold property in equal or apportioned shares to reflect each owner's contribution. Upon the death of one proprietor, that person's interest will vest as per the deceased proprietor's Will or Letters of Administration. Tenants in Common is often used where the buyers of the property are friends, business associates or relations and they have pooled their funds to purchase the property or if an investment property, there may be tax benefits for a couple to hold a certain percentage each.
Joint Tenants: Joint Tenant ownership is more commonly used by married/defacto couples when buying a residence. Joint Tenants each have an equal interest in the whole of the property and upon the death of one owner, the survivor is automatically entitled to become the owner of the deceased's interest in the property.
Property can also be owned by a company or on behalf of a Trust. We will discuss with you your options about forms of ownership and provide an information sheet. You may also wish to discuss with your Accountant if there may be tax benefits in owning property in a certain way, which may be particularly applicable if buying an investment property.

Inversion / Reflection: Keith
In the first story to be derived from the long-term project Inversion / Reflection: Turning Balfron Tower Inside Out, we are presented with a time-based narrative visually depicting the experience of one long-term resident of Erno Goldfinger's brutalist icon Balfron Tower, over the course of a year.
Resident for fifteen years, Keith's life has been directly impacted by the impending regeneration and attempted culture-led gentrification of Balfron Tower.
Gradually relocated throughout the borough, and further afield, the towers residents have been 'decanted' to make way for the restoration and subsequent private development of this grade 2* listed brutalist monolith.
Inversion/Reflection: Keith investigates the impact of gentrification upon a single individual and explores the personal relationship of this resident to his environment and vice-versa.

Q: How to find changes in proportions using regression? I want to test the hypothesis that the expansion of lending institutions changed the goals that households obtained their loans for. In other words, say in 1950 the breakup was:

*

*33% got loans for "education"

*33% got loans for "housing"

*33% got loans for "medical"

Then in 1951 there was a government policy that led to banks expanding branches into previously underserved areas. In 1960, after lots of branches have been opened, the breakdown of loan purposes is something else (say 40%, 50%, 10%).
The problem is what to use as my dependent variable, and what to use as my underlying distribution.

*

*Focus on the raw number of people who got these loans. Then a few standard linear regressions seem appropriate.

*Treat each proportion separately, and run 3 logit models.

*Treat each proportion separately, run 3 beta regression

*Treat the proportions as a whole, which impose the condition that they all add to 100%. That leads me to something called a Dirichlet distribution (cf., this presentation (pdf)).
4 seems to be the ideal.  My question is, broadly, what would be the best method?

What Trial And Error Taught Me About Hiring New Employees
I didn't get my hiring model right on the first try, and it almost broke my business.

Bootstrapping a startup is challenging, so when (with very little capital) you start to gain traction and market recognition, it's a relief to finally consider expanding operations.
When that moment came for me, I was excited to expand my company. The way I saw it, there were only two viable approaches:
Hire "highly skilled salespeople" who could work independently and be trusted with important decisions.
Design systems that would address individual tasks that needed to be managed. I would then make sure I had a well-designed process in place to ensure workflow would run smoothly.
Instead of choosing one option, I decided to combine the two. But without a clearly defined hiring model, my new hires floundered, causing a decline in my business. Luckily, my botched hiring experience helped me to reframe my thinking and course correct.
1. Broadly defined roles don't work.
The skills I initially targeted were those of "good salespeople". But this was too broad. What was I really looking for: Someone who excelled at short-term transactional sales or someone who would be more comfortable looking at the big picture by closing long-term relationship-based sales? The term "salesperson" became too broad and confusing.
Meanwhile, my new hires struggled. Since they were paid on commission, they made very little to no money, and many left their jobs shortly thereafter. But it was my fault, and mine alone. They were talented salespeople who were simply placed in the wrong job.
2. Identify your ideal new hire.
At that point, I was seriously considering turning my firm into a boutique, single owner-operator consultancy. Then a former client asked me if he could come on board. At first, I was extremely skeptical and said no, repeatedly. But to his credit, Jason Yelowitz is a persistent man, and I finally agreed. That was one of the best business decisions I have ever made.
I hadn't exactly resisted hiring Jason. His resume was impressive. But after working very hard to bring on new staff (only to see them struggle), I was not inclined to repeat the process. To my complete surprise, Jason hit the ground running from day one. This enabled me to analyze what made him so successful where his predecessors had failed. I soon developed a checklist of qualities I was looking for in the ideal employee, which in turn, would strengthen my business.
3. Define a hiring model.
At the end of the day, when it comes to our business (selling profitable websites) it is not really something that can be done purely through systemization. The process simply contains too many variables that require human judgment and flexibility. I learned I needed experts in business, not just "good salespeople" who could follow a system.
Since the hiring model had been more clearly defined, my company prospered as a result. No longer was I straddling the fence. I am a firm believer of hiring highly skilled and independent workers. What's more, we have become one tightly knit family. This has led to higher productivity because everyone feels vested in the company's success.
Best advice on developing a hiring model that works
Take the time to analyze your product or service and focus your hiring model. Can it be systematized or does it require a human touch? If you choose a systemized model, define your systems clearly. If you choose highly skilled employees, determine precisely which skills are vital to their success.
I didn't get my hiring model right on the first try, and it almost broke my business. I would encourage you to weigh both options carefully to determine which hiring model is the best fit for your company.

The concept of prices ending in .99 is a marketing strategy. For years, .99 at the end of a price was a sign of a sale or good deal. There is also a psychological effect involved - it's a little magical phenomenon when a person associates $19.99 as $19 as opposed to $20.00.
Don't believe me? Is there any chance you recall how much you paid, per gallon, the last time you filled up your gas tank? Of course, it depends on where you're living (what grade of gas you buy and where you buy it), but let's keep it simple and say the regular unleaded gas, at your local gas station, was $3.97.
Ahhhhh... not so fast! You (likely) forgot the 9/10ths of a cent next to the price. Yes, my friends - you didn't really pay $3.97. You paid $3.97 and 9/10ths of a cent, which is practically $3.98. However, all we see is the $3.97.
But I'm not here to talk about prices or gas. I'm here to share with you all that I've finally reached that wonderful moment when the scale went from the 200's to the 100's. I'm not happy I weigh 199(.4) - I'm ECSTATIC!
I've worked my way from 276 pounds on February 4, 2012 to 199.4 pounds as of September 8, 2012. That is 76.6 pounds I'm saying goodbye to forever, God willing! Those pounds aren't technically "lost" because I truly have no intention on finding them, EVER again!
How did I do it? I know everyone secretly wants to hear, "I took this magical little pill, ate like an animal, never exercised a minute and just lost weight." Sorry folks - there is no easy way out when it comes to weight loss. My answer will continue to be - HARD WORK and RESOLVE (in the form of a balanced, portion controlled diet and exercise).
I'm not done with my weight loss journey... however, I'm relishing this moment and am truly proud of how far I have come. When I started I couldn't recognize my own self and now I've rediscovered some of my lost happiness. I couldn't even run to the end of the block without feeling like I would keel over and die and now I can run 9+ miles!
The last two days I've seen a few friends I haven't seen in months to as much as a year... they were all so amazed and proud of me. It brings me to tears as I think about it right now - because what all my friends saw was more than just the physical weight loss - they saw the pure joy in my face and my spirit. I am not the same person physically or mentally!
Losing weight is more than the numbers on the scale - it really does have an impact on your health and wellness! However, with that said - I am going to celebrate my numerical accomplishment. The number 9 is my new best friend! When you're over 200 pounds - hitting 199 is a breath of fresh air (just as 299 is to someone over 300 pounds). Even if you don't have a significant amount of weight to lose, the number 9 is still magical! Going from 160 to 159 or 130 to 129 -- it's a wonderful feeling and sense of accomplishment to be in a whole new weight bracket.


Graphic design is the vehicle for delivering your message.
... So do you want a Lexus or a lemon?
Nobody wants to give a bad first impression. Do you wake up every morning and neglect to brush your teeth, refuse to comb your hair, and put on dirty wrinkled clothing? Of course not. So it baffles the mind when we see the equivalent of that in a business's marketing pieces. Like it or not, we are all visual people and make flash decisions based on what we see — your potential customers are no different. N-Vision Designs provides graphic design services that result in creative, polished, and professional work which communicates your message clearly while presenting your organization in the best light possible.
As ubiquitous as they seem to be, brochures are nonetheless an effective way to leave behind your message. Most people think of a standard trifold when they hear the word "brochure". But there is so much more to life than the standard trifold brochure! If you're looking for something a bit more creative, think about alternative folding options, weightier paper choices, or changing up the number of pages/panels. Read more about what makes a good brochure design.
Business cards are, without a doubt, the most common marketing piece there is. But that doesn't mean is has to look common! Because it's so prevalent, people tend to overlook it... unless you give them a reason to remember it. Use your business card as an opportunity to stand out. Unique paper choices, finishing options, or specialty inks can really make a creative design look even more special. Get some ideas for creative business cards.
With postage costs reduced and by eliminating the expense of purchasing a mailing list, the United States Postal Service's Every Door Direct Mail Program has made direct mail even more affordable for retail businesses to reach their local customers. Want to go the more traditional direct mail route? No problem. Either way, you want your message to stand out from a heap of other mail. You'll need an eye-catching professional design for your postcard or mailpiece. Each piece is designed and checked to conform to USPS postal regulations. Read more: Is direct mail still a good strategy for you?
Publicizing for an event? Posters and flyers go hand in hand. Display posters in strategic brick-and-mortar locations, with a smaller more detailed version to hand out as a flyer.
Need something larger than life? There are special considerations to keep in mind when designing for trade shows. N-Vision Designs can design everything from the tablecloth covering your table to the rack card displayed on it to the 20 foot display looming behind you.
These are just a few things that can be done for your business. The list is endless....really, anything that is printed is first designed. So before you print anything else, take a moment to think about if it is communicating the message you want in a way that is appealing and persuasive. You'll want to make it count!

To mark 10 years since tragedy, Sandy Hook's senators call for anti-gun measures
WSHU | By Molly Ingram
Paul Morigi
AP Images for Sandy Hook Promise Foundation
U.S senators Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and Chris Murphy (D-CT) spoke on the Senate floor calling for anti-gun measures on Wednesday, 10 years after the Sandy Hook School shooting.
Murphy, who has championed gun control legislation at the state and federal level, spoke about the emotions he felt while remembering the 20 children and six educators killed that day.
He called for their memory to be honored with action.
"Make a decision that in your world you're going to honor those kids and those adults' memories with some action," Murphy said. "Because I guess that's what I think about most today. I'm sad for what we lost. But I'm also inspired and hopeful for all the grace and the kindness that has grown out of this tragedy. And I also realized that maybe more than anything else today, we should recognize that nothing in our life that we love should be taken for granted."
This summer, Murphy fought to pass the bipartisan Safer Communities Act in the Senate. He said passing of that act, which expanded background checks and enhanced school safety, showed Americans that their elected officials were listening.
"What we communicated this summer to those kids and the parents is that we care," Murphy said. "Our answer isn't nothing. And so, as much as I experienced this as a father, I also know that we've made progress. And that progress has been logistical and practical, but it's also been metaphysical. It's been emotional. What we did this summer, just gave kids in this country, parents in this country, a little bit of a feeling that we're gonna be there for them, and hopefully, more in the future."
Blumenthal praised the passing of the Safer Communities Act, but warned that more must be done.
He said the next step is passing a federal version of Ethan's Law, which would regulate ghost guns and promote safe gun storage. Ethan's law — named for Guilford teen Ethan Song — has been passed in Connecticut.
"Our teachers are doing their jobs," Blumenthal said. "Our police are doing their jobs, parents are doing their jobs. Congress is not doing its job. Congress must do its job to strengthen our laws and prevent gun violence."
Blumenthal and Murphy both highlighted the work that Sandy Hook families have done to remember their loved ones who were killed.
"That community has not only rallied around the loved ones who have experienced unspeakable loss, but they have helped support the charitable and nonprofits that those families formed in the wake of those losses," Blumenthal said.
"I've worked with the Jesse Lewis Choose Love movement started by Scarlett Lewis, the Sandy Hook Promise organization started by the Hockley and Barden families," he continued. "The Catherine Violet Hubbard Foundation, Ben's Lighthouse, the Emilie Parker Art Connection, the Vicki Soto Memorial Fund — just a couple of weeks ago, they had a run in Stratford, a 5k to benefit the great work that it's doing on scholarships. The Avielle Initiative, the Ana Grace Project, the list goes on."
"It is a part of this story, because Sandy Hook is the story not only of social change and legal and legislative reform. It is also an intensely personal story about grace and grit, about courage and strength and about a personal dedication to making good come of that unimaginable horror and evil on that day."

Home / Diamond Buying Guide
Cut. Color. Clarity. Carat Weight.
For a first-time buyer, you might as well add Complicated to that list. Don't worry with the help of our comprehensive Diamond Buying Guide, we've got you covered. Rest assured, beautiful diamonds can fit almost any budget. Plus, by knowing a thing or two about the 4Cs, you'll be able to shop smarter and most likely score a better value.
Cut is divided into shape, proportion, polish, and symmetry. Shape and proportion are all of great importance when cutting a diamond to its best appearance. Shape and proportion determine how a diamond scintillates because it affects how light is reflected and refracted inside the stone, which is what causes diamonds to sparkle. Depending on how deep or shallow the diamond is cut, the face-up appearance of the diamond can also vary greatly. The polish describes how well light enters and exits the facets of the diamond. Symmetry can describe both length-to-width ratio and also depth percentages.
Diamond color is actually graded on lack of color. The best fine diamond jewelry contains stones that are almost clear. The hues graded in "white" diamonds are actually faint tones of yellow, brown, and grey. An alphabetical scale from D through Z is used to rank the color. Imagine two glasses of water — one clear, the other containing a few drops of lemonade — and you will begin to get an idea of the differences in diamond color grades.
Once the color saturation moves beyond Z or has a completely different hue than yellow, brown, or grey, the gem then becomes a fancy color diamond. Fancy colors are graded on how much color the diamond has and how strong the hue is. Diamonds come in every color of the rainbow, including blue, pink, yellow, purple, and black. In general, fancy diamonds are rarer than white diamonds.
The following color scale is an approximate representation of color saturation in diamonds (click to enlarge):
Clarity describes the inclusions and blemishes of a diamond. The fewer inclusions and blemishes a diamond has, the more valuable it is. Clarity can also have a direct impact on the stone's brilliance: Inclusions in the diamond can block the light from reflecting inside the stone, which is the feature that gives diamond jewelry its fiery beauty. The following diamond clarity grades are listed from best to least and are based on the observations of trained gemologists (click image to enlarge):
Carat is a weight measurement of diamonds. It is abbreviated "ct" or "CT" when describing a single stone. "CTW," meaning "carat total weight," is added when the diamond jewelry is set with multiple diamonds. For example, a solitaire diamond engagement ring may be described as 1ct while a three-stone diamond anniversary ring would be 1 ctw.
Carat vs. karat: Carat is not the measure of gold's purity, which is spelled "karat" and is abbreviated "k." For example, you may have a 1-carat diamond in an 18-karat gold setting.
This chart shows how the sizes compare to each other, but this is not a representation of the actual size of diamonds (click to enlarge):
Jewelers use a standardized set of shapes as patterns for cutting stones. The shapes with more facets, like the 58-facet round brilliant, have the most sparkle, but the shapes with fewer facets, especially the emerald, better showcase the color and clarity of higher quality diamonds. Shape is especially important in diamond rings. The princess, heart, and round shapes flatter delicate fingers, long or short, and the longer shapes, such as marquise, pear, and emerald, elongate the finger.
A diamond certificate is the evaluation by a third-party, not by either the diamond buyer or seller. Unfortunately, a 3rd party certification isn't necessary, as it would be easy for an unscrupulous jeweler to take advantage of an uninformed buyer and sell him or her a stone, which ostensibly has much better characteristics than it really does. There are a number of ways unsuspecting buyers might land a bad deal. If the diamond is not certified, there is a good chance you may be buying a stone that is one or more grades below stated values in terms of carat weight, color, clarity, cut or whether or not it has been "enhanced". Without a certificate, issued by a reputable agency, such as GIA, AGS, a buyer relies on a jeweler's integrity that the diamond's 4C parameters are accurate and not overstated.
Not all laboratories are created equal. GIA is the best diamond grading laboratory in the world due to their reliable and stringent grading standards and their undisputed grading reports. Their dominance in the industry is due to their consistency in that they are able to consistently assign similar diamonds the same grade. Unlike some other labs, GIA is not owned or partially owned by diamond wholesalers or retailers, and is a non-profit organization. GIA actually developed the "4 C's" diamond grading system (used almost universally today) to provide truly objective standards in the evaluation of a diamond.
The Gemological Institute of America (GIA), is the leading gemological laboratory in the world. It is the industry's most trusted and most widely used service. Headquartered in Carlsbad, California, GIA has offices in many cities around the world, employing more than 1400 scientists, educators and certified diamond graders.
Besides gem grading and certification, GIA also provides educational services and carries out intensive research work to keep up with fast changing technologies in the gemological field.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, April 10, 2014
The L.A. KISS wins its inaugural game at Honda Center as fans of arena football and the namesake rock band embrace both the spectacle and the sport.
By James Barragan

By the time two of the L.A. KISS' star players were lowered from the Honda Center ceiling during introductions for the team's home opener, the team's fans were ready to rock and roll all night and party every down.
Behind four touchdowns from wide receiver Donovan Morgan and a league-record six sacks in one game for Beau Bell, the KISS won its first game at its home venue in Anaheim, 44-34, in front of 12,045 fans. The victory improved the KISS' record to 2-1 while setting a league record of 11 team sacks in one game. The night was a complete rock and roll event. From the national anthem played on an electric guitar, to the bikini-clad dancers suspended in midair throughout the game to fans walking around in KISS makeup and flame orange Mohawk wigs.
Before the first down was played fans had already seen indoor fireworks, a laser show and a performance by heavy metal band Steel Panther.
"We wanted a football team, but this is a different type of football," said John Richards, 47, of Menifee, who for more than 30 years has been a fan of the rock band that inspired the arena football team's name. "This is KISS football."
There was even a special appearance by Motorhead lead singer, Lemmy, who performed the pregame coin toss.
"We're expecting craziness. Total craziness," said George Warner, 48, of Brea, who along with his wife, Yolanda, was one of the first people in line outside of Honda Center before the doors opened. "That's the KISS way."
With tickets to a KISS concert included in the season-ticket deal, the rock band name was a big draw for many of the fans in attendance.
"I think 95% are KISS fans and 5% know something about arena football," said Richards, who received season tickets from his wife as an early birthday gift. "If it would have been L.A. anything else, I wouldn't have been here. I wouldn't have known anything was going on."
But other fans were simply happy to have a pro football team back in the Los Angeles area. Some fans even wore jerseys commemorating the Avengers — the previous L.A.-based AFL team.
"There's no football here," said Luz Adriana Rodriguez, 37, of Brea, who sported the team's black and flame home jersey with Paul Stanley's name on the back. "To have arena basically in our backyard. It was a win-win."
Joan Ash, 68, of Stanton said she was happy she didn't have to go without football for much of the year after the NFL season ends.
"I'm an avid football fan," she said. "I'd have to go into withdrawals from February to August when the preseason starts. That's way too long."
Ash, who rushed into the venue early to get commemorative team rally towels, said she was looking forward to the game experience that the team's rocker co-owners, Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons, had promised.
"I like that KISS is fan-based," she said. "Why sit and twiddle our thumbs during breaks? We're here to be entertained."
By early in the second quarter, Ash had seen several dance troupes perform between stops in play and BMX bikers performing stunts on the field. Later in the game, the KISS Girls — the team's dance troupe — rode into the field on a Fiat.
Lisa and Jerry Zaharias of Redlands wanted to make sure they were doing their part to bring excitement to the game. Along with their matching team jerseys, the husband and wife wore face paint and L.A. KISS-themed headgear that included a black hat with flame orange decorations to match the team's uniform.
"We want to get them [fans] excited and be part of the energy," said Lisa Zaharias, who along with her husband was featured on the game's dance cam.
Some fans did have a minor quibble with the team name.
"The only thing that is a little off-kilter is 'L.A' KISS," said Greg Gerstung, 49, of Brea as he proudly wore a Gene Simmons jersey. "It should have been O.C. KISS. That would have better represented Orange County."
But the excitement of having a football team in the area overshadowed his minor issue with the name, Gerstung said.
Halfway through the fourth quarter fans started "the wave" around the arena and by the end of the night the KISS had gained some loyal fans.
"As long as they exist, we'll be fans," Richards said.

02/25/14 ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME STATEMENT FROM KISS:
To All Our Fans In Regards To The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame:
Out of respect, Ace and Peter's recent statements demand a quick response to you, our fans.
Our intention was to celebrate the entire history of KISS and give credit to all members including long time present members Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer, and additionally Bruce Kulick and Eric Carr all who have made this band what it is, regardless of the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame's point of view.
Although KISS has moved forward far longer without them, Ace and Peter are at the very foundation of what we have built and this would all be impossible had they not been a part of it in the beginning.
It is over 13 years since the original lineup has played together in make-up and we believe the memory of those times would not be enhanced. Contrary to claims made through the media we have never refused to play with Ace and Peter.
We have spent 40 years dedicated to building KISS without quitting or wavering as the band has moved forward with huge tours and platinum albums through different important lineups for forty years, to this day.
KISS has always been a band unlike any other. That is why we started KISS. That is why we continue KISS. Being unlike other bands also means making choices and decisions unlike other bands.
This is understandably an emotional situation where there is no way to please everyone.
To bring this to a quick end, we have decided not to play in any line-up and we will focus our attention on celebrating our induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.
We are excited and are looking forward to seeing you all on the KISS 40th Anniversary worldwide tour.

Images of scroll from The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Throughout Buddhism's early history in China, the ascetic aspects of the religion—the practice of celibacy and asceticism — came into conflict with the Chinese family system and social values. The Vimalakirti Sutra, celebrating the supremely wise layman Vimalakirti, provided canonical proof that enlightenment and salvation were possible even for believers who remained outside monastic orders.
At that time, there lived in the great city of Vaisali a certain Licchavi, Vimalakirti by name. Having served the ancient Buddhas, he had generated the roots of virtue by honoring them and making offerings to them. He had attained tolerance as well as eloquence. He played with the great superknowledges. He had attained the power of incantations and the fearlessnesses. He had conquered all demons and opponents. He had penetrated the profound way of the Dharma. He was liberated through the transcendence of wisdom. Having integrated his realization with skill in liberative technique, he was expert in knowing the thoughts and actions of living beings. Knowing the strength or weakness of their faculties, and being gifted with unrivaled eloquence, he taught the Dharma appropriately to each.
His [Vimalakirti] wealth was inexhaustible for the purpose of sustaining the poor and the helpless. He observed a pure morality in order to protect the immoral. He maintained tolerance and self-control in order to reconcile beings who were angry, cruel, violent, and brutal. He blazed with energy in order to inspire people who were lazy. He maintained concentration, mindfulness, and meditation in order to sustain the mentally troubled. He attained decisive wisdom in order to sustain the foolish.
But Sariputra was reluctant to go to ask Vimalakirti about his sickness." The Buddha then asks all the disciples and all the bodhisattvas to visit Vimalakirti but one by one they tell of their conversations with Vimalakirti and declare their reluctance to go to see him.
In this scroll, which transcribes chapters 5 through 9 of the sacred text, the illuminated frontispiece portrays Vimalakirti seated on a dais preaching to a large audience. He is depicted with the attributes of a traditional Confucian scholar: long beard, fly whisk, and armrest. An inscription at the end of the scroll indicates that it was executed in remote southwest China, present-day Yunnan Province. Lavishly painted and written in gold and silver on purple silk, the scroll was commissioned by the prime minister of the independent kingdom of Dali as a gift for the Chinese ambassador.
This book presents the major teachings of Mahāyāna Buddhism in a precise, dramatic, and even humorous form. For two millennia this Sūtra, called the "jewel of the Mahāyāna Sūtras," has enjoyed immense popularity among Mahāyāna Buddhists in India, central and southeast Asia, Japan, and especially China, where its incidents were the basis for a style in art and literature prevalent during several centuries.
Robert Thurman's translation makes available in relatively nontechnical English the Tibetan version of this key Buddhist scripture, previously known to the English-speaking world only through translations from Chinese texts. The Tibetan version is generally conceded to be more faithful to the original Sanskrit than are the Chinese texts. The Tibetan version also is clearer, richer, and more precise in its philosophical and psychological expression. The twelve books of the Sūtra are accompanied by an introduction and an epilogue by Dr. Thurman and by three glossaries: Sanskrit terms, numerical categories, and technical terms.
You can purchase the Vimalakirti Nirdesa Sutra here.
'Enlightenment is possible, even to those who remained outside of monastic life.' What a great encouragement! Thank you.

Beevo saves the play
By JOHN GOULD
BEEVO, my first dog, had greatness thrust upon him for a brief encounter, but was otherwise without redeeming virtues except for snuggling at my back in bed. This was an asset on cold winter nights, but in hot July it was not. He would go to bed before me and arise after me, so I was never in want for a cozy companion, but other than that nobody ever cited Beevo for useful deeds. He was no good whatever as a watchdog, for his amiable disposition caused him to welcome tramps in at the front door and escort them upstairs. He had no notion of defending the castle, and as he was afraid of cats, he would hide if one loped from the bushes toward our hen pens. Being a somewhat beagle, he should have had some talent at the hunt, but he was timid in the woods and willingly forwent such instruction.
But he'd walk halfway to school with me and meet me halfway home, and Beevo and I never made unkind remarks about each other. His one big moment, up to the time he ran away and never came back, was when he went on the stage.
Not too many today can go back to the traveling thespians, who brought dramatic culture to the back woods, and in particular to the companies that brought ``Uncle Tom's Cabin.'' ``The actors are come hither!'' would run through town and posters would go up. The town house, or the Pythian lodge hall, or the sail loft at the shipyard, would become a theater, and our bereft situation would be enhanced. ``East Lynn'' was still being played, and other favorites of that stripe, and so was ``Uncle Tom's Cabin.'' We had heard of motion pictures, but none had appeared.
``Uncle Tom's Cabin,'' like the circus, had a parade to urge desire on the populace, but not such a good one. Limited to the cast and backstage hands, the ``Uncle Tom's Cabin'' parade gained length when everybody spaced out at 30 paces, and the only animals were the bloodhounds.
Doc Rockwell, the vaudeville comedian of late memory, had a part in a traveling ``Uncle Tom's Cabin'' troupe in his youth, and he said he got the part because he could blow a tin whistle in the parade. The circus parade had a steam organ, but ``Uncle Tom's Cabin'' had Doc Rockwell.
He marched behind Simon Legree, who had the bloodhounds on leashes, the dogs strained forward in ferocious manner. Doc used to tell us the bloodhounds were gentle, lovable, friendly animals, but they didn't get fed until after the parade, so they pulled on the leashes and seemed to be fierce. Doc said he always played ``The Stars and Stripes Forever,'' and that made the bloodhounds strain all the more. In the play, Doc was three different characters, but not all at the same time, and once in a pinch he was Little Eva. But Beevo was before Doc Rockwell's theatrical time.
It was probably in 1920 that Beevo played in ``Uncle Tom's Cabin.'' The man came to our house and rapped on the door to introduce himself to my mother as the manager of the Such-and-such Players, and he said he would like to have her attend his play. He handed her two tickets. Mother said she guessed not, but he said the tickets were free, and she said, ``Oh - that's different.'' In this way he broached his problem, which was most serious.
He said his crates of bloodhounds, due that morning by railway express, had been set off by mistake at Yarmouth Junction, and had gone on the up-train of the Canadian National toward Montreal. The depot telegrapher had intercepted them at Island Pond, Vt., but they would not be back in time for the parade and the matinee. He desperately needed some substitute dogs. And he had been told in the village that we had one that might serve his purpose.
Mother coaxed Beevo from under the stove, and after he stood for a few moments and waked up, he wagged his tail vigorously at the strange man to demonstrate his warm affability. The man could see that Beevo was not likely to epitomize ferocity, but his ears did droop and time was short and the need was great.
Beevo was cast as a bloodhound. During the forenoon the man found two other dogs suitable for going on stage, one of which was Lon Bubier's crack bobcat hound, a veteran of numberless woodland skirmishes that showed in the style of his ears. Lon's dog and Beevo were good friends in a nonprofessional way, but the third dog was a stranger to both. So Beevo marched in the parade, but Simon Legree had to keep pushing him with his foot. He was also in the play, and I was proud of him, but Mother remarked on our way home afterward, with Beevo at our heels, that his histrionic capabilities could best be described as desultory.

I wasn't going to comment as I didn't want to call attention to it, but having been sent this video over a dozen times now I realize I'd better add my voice.
It's everything that's ugly about society's attitudes towards weight boiled into a 2 minute video treatise on how gluttony and sloth are to blame for obesity....oh, and add in lazy parents.
Presumably the point of the ad is to cause viewers with weight, and parents of kids who may be struggling, to feel sufficient guilt, shame and self-loathing that they finally decide to change their ways.
Well I've got news for the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta folks who produced this ad (and that equally misguided one up above) - if guilt or shame had any lasting impact on weight or behaviour the world would be skinny, as guilt and shame are the two things that the world bends over backwards to ensure that people with weight never run short of.
And yes, parents have a real role to play in all of this, but fear and shame aren't likely to get them there.
As I've said before, childhood obesity is a symptom of a broken environment, kids haven't changed, the world around them has, and part of the world's changes (but by no means always the lion's share) include what are now considered to be normal parental feeding behaviours. Shaming the symptom without tackling the cause is likely only to add to the belief that fat shaming has a role to play in fixing the environment, and yet fat shaming is anything but helpful.
