Pete Carroll Biography
Pete Carroll is one of the best coaches at any level of football. Carroll has achieved the rare feat of winning a college National Championship and a Super Bowl. He won Super Bowl XLVII with the Seattle Seahawks and has built one of the most dynamic rosters in the NFL. As the head coach at USC from 2001-09, Carroll went 97-19 and won seven Pac-10 titles. During his tenure, the school produced three Heisman Trophy winners. A 34 game winning streak included the 2005 BCS National Championship and only ended with a loss in the title game the following year. Carroll had previously been an NFL head coach with the New York Jets and New England Patriots, taking the latter to the playoffs twice. He got his first NFL assistant job with the Buffalo Bills after being a college coach for over a decade. Carroll started his coaching career as a graduate assistant for three seasons at his alma mater Pacific. Today, despite being the oldest active head coach in the NFL, he is known for his youthful enthusiasm and tireless work ethic.

Palm Cay is today releasing its latest real estate offering, a $100m condominium and penthouse complex overlooking the community's marina and ocean access.
#Named One Marina due to its location, the residential community's latest real estate offering was 40 percent pre-sold before its release to the general market, according to Myles Newell, Palm Cay's recently-appointed director of sales and marketing.
That interest, added Mr Newell, was divided between those who wanted to own a second residence at Palm Cay for family or investment purposes, and those who plan to move into the new complex and sell their existing property.
He credited two factors for the positive response. "Palm Cay has a strong track record with property values appreciating consistently," Mr Newell said. "The resort-style development has already had approximately 160 properties purchased since opening.
Against this positive background, Mr Newell said Palm Cay's developers are expanding marketing efforts with a multi-channel campaign focused on North America.
Palm Cay's first newly-designed, high-end real estate offering to come to the market in almost a decade features 84 two and three-bedroom residences.
Two-bedroom units range in size from 1,780 to 1,940 square feet, and will sell for between $750,000 and $800,000. The three-bedroom units are selling from $1.5m to $1.9m, ranging in size from 2,751 square feet to 4,228 square feet.
One Marina complements Palm Cay's existing residential offerings, which include one and two-story condos at The Anchorage and Starfish Isle's town homes. Owners can opt to place their unit in a rental programme.
There are also slips available at the full-service Palm Cay Marina, a deep-water facility covering eight acres. The community covers 69 acres in total, and is located in southeastern New Providence between Port New Providence and Treasure Cove.
The community's developers recently invested a further $2m in upgrading its resort-style amenities. Palm Cay offers a members' fitness centre, spa services, tennis courts, recreation areas, dockside café, a beach bar and grill, half-size Olympic swimming pool and a beachscape including private cabanas and a deck area with sun-loungers.

BSLS_IDENT("$Id: $")

//@PURPOSE: Provide namespace for functions used to delete objects.
//
//@CLASSES:
//  bslma::DeleterHelper: non-primitive functions for deleting objects
//
//@SEE_ALSO: bslma_rawdeleterguard, bslmf_ispolymporphic
//
//@DESCRIPTION: This component provides non-primitive procedures used to delete
// objects of parameterized 'TYPE' by first calling the destructor of the
// object, and then freeing the memory footprint of the object using a
// parameterized 'ALLOCATOR' (allocator or pool) provided as a second argument.
// The "raw" method ('deleteObjectRaw') should be used only if we are sure that
// the supplied object is !not! of a type that is a secondary base class --
// i.e., the object's address is (numerically) the same as when it was
// originally dispensed by 'ALLOCATOR'.  The non-"raw" 'deleteObject' has no
// such restriction.  Note that this component will fail to compile when
// instantiated for a class that gives a false-positive for the type trait
// 'bsl::is_polymorphic'.  See the 'bslmf_ispolymporphic' component for more
// details.
//
///Usage
///-----
// The following 'my_RawDeleterGuard' class defines a guard that
// unconditionally deletes a managed object upon destruction.  Via the
// 'deleteObjectRaw' method supplied by this component, the guard's destructor
// first destroys the managed object, then deallocates the footprint of the
// object.  The declaration of 'my_RawDeleterGuard' follows:
//..
//  template <class TYPE, class ALLOCATOR>
//  class my_RawDeleterGuard {
//      // This class implements a guard that unconditionally deletes a managed
//      // object upon destruction by first invoking the object's destructor,
//      // and then invoking the 'deallocate' method of an allocator (or pool)
//      // of parameterized 'ALLOCATOR' type supplied at construction.
//
//      // DATA
//      TYPE      *d_object_p;     // managed object
//      ALLOCATOR *d_allocator_p;  // allocator or pool (held, not owned)
//
//      // NOT IMPLEMENTED
//      my_RawDeleterGuard(const my_RawDeleterGuard&);
//      my_RawDeleterGuard& operator=(const my_RawDeleterGuard&);
//
//    public:
//      // CREATORS
//      my_RawDeleterGuard(TYPE *object, ALLOCATOR *allocator);
//          // Create a raw deleter guard that unconditionally manages the
//          // specified 'object', and that uses the specified 'allocator' to
//          // delete 'object' upon the destruction of this guard.  The
//          // behavior is undefined unless 'object' and 'allocator' are
//          // non-zero, and 'allocator' supplied the memory for 'object'.
//          // Note that 'allocator' must remain valid throughout the lifetime
//          // of this guard.
//
//      ~my_RawDeleterGuard();
//          // Destroy this raw deleter guard and delete the object it manages
//          // by first invoking the destructor of the (managed) object, and
//          // then invoking the 'deallocate' method of the allocator (or pool)
//          // that was supplied with the object at construction.
//  };
//..
// The 'deleteObjectRaw' method is used in the destructor as follows:
//..
//  template <class TYPE, class ALLOCATOR>
//  inline
//  my_RawDeleterGuard<TYPE, ALLOCATOR>::~my_RawDeleterGuard()
//  {
//      bslma::DeleterHelper::deleteObjectRaw(d_object_p, d_allocator_p);
//  }
//..
// Note that we have denoted our guard to be a "raw" guard in keeping with this
// use of 'deleteObjectRaw' (as opposed to 'deleteObject').

Home Features Features Wicked at Broward Center for Performing Arts

Like most gay kids, I spent many of my younger years searching for a glimpse of a fantasy that could take me away from the confusion of being different than most of my friends, family, and schoolmates.

Like most gay kids, I spent many of my younger years searching for a glimpse of a fantasy that could take me away from the confusion of being different than most of my friends, family, and schoolmates. Even though I couldn't really put my finger on it, I knew there was just something a little different about me. While all the other boys were outside playing with their GI Joes and building forts, I was obsessed with He-Man's massively seductive bulges and stealing my sister's She-Ra doll.
Let's just face it, I was a little gay boy waiting to come out and turn into the big queen I was destined to be. Along the way, I discovered a movie that was more than just another story of a group of misfits, trying to make it in a world that rejected them. To me, The Wizard of Oz was my story, and I was Dorothy. (I told you I was always a big queen.) Every thunderstorm sent me into a frenzy, hoping that my house would get sucked up in a tornado and I would eventually find myself in the wonderful Land of Oz.
As I grew up, I realized that the possibility of me actually visiting Oz was about as likely as a weekend escape with my childhood man crush, He-Man. But that never stopped my love affair with Dorothy, the Tin Man, the Cowardly Lion, and the Scarecrow and their amazing journey to find themselves.
So when author Gregory Maguire wrote and released the back-story to the Wizard of Oz in 1995, I immediately hauled myself to the bookstore to snag a copy. I just had to find out what made the Wicked Witch of the West so wicked and how the Land of Oz came to be. Turns out that I wasn't the only one: Wicked became so popular that in October of 2003 it was turned into one of the most successful Broadway shows in history.
Wicked the musical took Gregory Maguire's magical story of the Land of Oz, the humble beginnings of the Wicked Witch of the West, also known as Elphaba, Glinda the Good, and many of the original characters from the Wizard of Oz and turned it into a riveting, food for the soul experience that has continued to wow audiences around the world.
In fact since its premiere, Wicked has received over 35 major awards, including a Grammy and three Tony Awards. The Washington Post says, " Wicked has 'cast quite a spell' throughout North America, breaking box office records in every city that it has played, including Toronto, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia." And that is just naming a few.
On Wednesday, January 30th Wicked will return to South Florida once again at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts and run through Sunday, February 17th. I couldn't be more excited to see some of my favorite characters in action, singing a few of my favorite Broadway numbers, including Defying Gravity, which is when Elphaba finally discovers how to fly!
Of course a show based on the Land of Oz is surely going to have a few gay cast members, and I was lucky enough to sit down with Jay Russell to get the inside scoop on the show and what we can all expect during its return to South Florida.
Jay plays Dr. Dillamond in Wicked and was more than happy to share his experience and thoughts with us at Hot Spots Magazine.
How did you get involved with the show Wicked?
I saw it on Broadway with the original cast and loved it. Never in a million years did I imagine I'd ever be in it. Then an audition came up for Dr. Dillamond and suddenly here I am touring the country as a Goat. Who knew?!
As a gay man, how can you relate to the story of Elphaba?
Well, certainly the main idea of Elphaba being "different" from everyone else and the prejudice and teasing she has to endure. In Elphaba's case the color of her skin makes her different. As a gay man, it is more of an internal struggle, but I certainly was dealt my share of taunting and teasing as a kid in school.
What is the message most people walk away with after seeing the show?
I think people really respond to the incredible friendship portrayed by Elphaba and Glinda in Wicked. It's rare to see such an interesting and complex friendship between two women onstage. The other aspect I think that spoke to me is about questioning authority and not taking what our leaders tell us at face value, about really standing up for what is right.
Why do you think Wicked has been an amazing success over the years?
So many reasons: First off, it is a great story – funny, moving, powerful, and clever as hell. Add to that the really amazing tuneful score that Stephen Schwartz wrote for it, I mean, I'm in it eight times a week and I still am singing the songs on my time off. Then add, a truly magical production that literally defies gravity and you've really got it all.
Do you think Wicked has been more popular among the gay community? If so, why?
Tough one… We do love our divas and we've got two of them in Elphaba and Glinda that's for sure. It doesn't hurt that the original ladies, Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth, went on to such great success after Wicked on both stage and screen. Also, our leading man sure isn't hard on the eyes.
Wicked has been to South Florida before. What can people expect from this cast that they may not have ever seen before?
I may be biased but I think our cast is extraordinary, and whether you have seen the show before or not, you will truly be blown away. Our Elphaba (Christine Dwyer) and our Glinda (Jeanna De Waal) are beyond compare… really our entire company from top to bottom is top notch. And, just between you and me, we have the hunkiest chorus boys I have ever had the pleasure to work with!

Short animation for IDN magazine (Issue #v21n2).
A strange explorer arrives at a painted x. After deliberation he cracks the surface, adds liquid, and using his volatile crystal companion and the sun, causes a reaction which reveals the IdN logo.
We were delighted to be asked to contribute a short animation for IdN magazine's Geometric issue (Issue #v21n2). An open brief from IdN led to some bizarre ideas and playful 2D animation.
2D frame by frame animation drawn in Flash and composited together in After Effects. Here you can see a selection of rough drawings, along with a selection of the rough 2D animation.
Here is our original illustration which inspired the ident.

You can have one great brush or 25 different kinds of sizes. I have learned that the best and of course the most expensive are the real/natural hair (not synthetic) type of bristles. Sable or natural hair bristles are just an all around better product and will improve your design and handling much better. Cheap synthetic detailed brushes are just that cheap, don't last long or give you the finish you're looking for. I actually find it a lot harder to control. Paint just doesn't stick to them very well.
I tend to buy at an Art Store not a Craft Store and I buy individual brushes not in sets.
Natural Nail Artist Brushes If you're using your brushes for and with nail polish and nail polish remover then buy the cheap as possible brushes. For acrylic paint only my suggestion is the natural hair artist brushes. Don't let the paint dry on them and soap is the best for washing and leaving soap on them to dry. This keeps the bristles in shape and the soap acts like a glue to hold them together.
Striper Brushes ( for very fine lines ) These are Sable bristles not the synthetic ones. There is a knock-off on ebay.

I am not an expert in men's lifestyle, but I have lived with men most of my life, and I have learned and researched on quite a few tips and tricks (and products!) over the years in different areas of their lives. I am also trying to revive my male corner, that I introduced a while ago, and I couldn't pass up on this amazing post idea partnering with Baxter of California again.
Today we'll be talking about men's shaving. Men hate it, but most of them simply have to do it. If you are a guy, reading my blog, hopefully you'll learn something new from this article. If you are a woman, then you can take a note of this information and impress a man in your life with your sound advice (or a great gift!), especially since father's day is coming up!
I have to admit, I am not a huge beauty geek. I tend to stick to the same routine and switch it up only once in a while, whereas I know a lot of girls who explore new brands compulsively. Most of the products I use are quite predictable, but I have a few secrets here and there, that are not so typical to others.
For example, sometimes I like to use mens grooming and skincare products on myself. My particular favorites are shaving creams, shower gels and deodorants. For some reason I like masculine woody scents of these products much more appealing and alluring then female versions, plus I find that the overall quality is better.
I am now particularly obsessed with the new brand I discovered - Baxter of California. After spending some time on their sleek website browsing through a curated lineup of hair, skin, body and lifestyle products, I found quite a few products for myself and men in my life. Check out the site and discover great content of videos, inspiration looks and obviously great products. Also get a 15% off and free US shipping with the code BAXTERFAVES.
Speaking of traveling, you can check out this super cool interactive game with the new perfume Montblanc Legend Spirit, that I am partnering with for today's post. Whether racing a convertible to the beach or exploring a rugged trail by bike, the game lets you create your own Montblanc Legend Spirit Environment full of adventure and fun.
But let's talk more about the new fragrance - Montblanc Legend Spirit! Honestly, I am a huge believer in the power of scents. It's extremely important for both men and women to choose perfumes that fit their persona. When you meet someone, who wears a particular powerful perfume, you make a subconscious judgement of that person, as you treat their perfume as part of their identity. You can be immediately drawn to them for no reason, just because their scent has such an effect on you, and if chosen well, this person will have the same effect on you as well ;) I know for myself, if I met a man who wore Montblanc Legend and represented it in his essence (passion, confidence and authenticity!) I would definitely fall head over heels .

When you create a mapping, you create a set of instructions for the Integration Service to read data from the source table, transform it, and write it to a target table. The Integration Service transforms data based on dataflow in the mapping, starting at the first transformation in the mapping, and the datatype assigned to each port in a mapping.
The Designer displays two types of datatypes:
Native datatypes.
Specific to the source and target databases, flat files, or ERP systems. Native datatypes appear in the Source Analyzer and Target Designer. They also appear in source and target definitions in the Mapping Designer and in source definitions in the Mapplet Designer.
Transformation datatypes.
Set of datatypes that appear in the transformations. They are internal datatypes based on ANSI SQL-92 generic datatypes, which the Integration Service uses to move data across platforms. Because the transformation datatypes are generic, you can use different source and target platforms. For example, you can read information from an Oracle source and write it to a Sybase target. Likewise, you can read information from a flat file and write it to a Microsoft SQL Server database. The transformation datatypes appear in all transformations in a mapping.
When the Integration Service reads source data, it converts the native datatypes to the comparable transformation datatypes before transforming the data. When the Integration Service writes to a target, it converts the transformation datatypes to the comparable native datatypes.
When you specify a multibyte character set, the datatypes allocate additional space in the database to store characters of up to three bytes.

FIRST LEGO League is the most accessible, guided, global robotics competition, helping team members and coaches to build a better future together. The program is built around theme-based Challenges to engage children ages 9 to 14 in research, problem solving, coding, and engineering. The foundation of the program is the FIRST Core Values, which emphasize teamwork, discovery, and innovation. Children emerge more confident, excited, and equipped with the skills they need in a changing workforce.
2019 Season Information
The 2019 FIRST LEGO League season world-wide challenge will be released August 1. KYST Foundation is in planning a CITY SHAPER season kickoff event on September 7 in Wichita. The season Championship Tournament is December 14.
What is the theme for this season's challenge?
Learning from the past. From the ancient world to the present-day, our world has seen thousands of cities grow, thrive, and change over time. As the population of FIRST City booms, we need to build around our people and our environment – and we want to learn from the cities that have come before us to make sure our future community is the best it can be.
Let's explore city life over time, and create new, innovative solutions to improve it for the future. Let's step out of our modern world and explore the evolution of cities past. Let's see what we can learn from them.
How did these cities become the greatest of their times? What made them special? What mistakes did they make, in terms of their architecture? What did they NOT consider when they were building that they should have? How could they have been made better, knowing what we know now?

From the beginning of April 2018, Dynamics 365 customers will be able to benefit from yet another jam-packed release to help transform their business.
With the impending GDPR, compliance is a key theme in the update with Microsoft reviewing the entire platform to ensure GDPR-ready following the privacy-by-design principle.
Dynamics 365 for Marketing provides marketers with omni-channel marketing automation capability across email, events, webinars, surveys, web forms, landing pages and sales activity. Simple to use drag-and-drop-designer and configurable templates enable even the least technical users to quickly create emails. Functionality includes; event management, lead management, embedded artificial intelligence to improve targeting, lead scoring and interaction insights.
As with all of the Dynamics 365 apps, D365 for Marketing is part of the same platform, and helps join up sales and marketing business processes helping both functions work collaboratively throughout the sales cycle.
The Business Central app provides organisations with a single end-to-end platform to manage their finances, operations, sales and customer service all in one place. The solution provides a perfect opportunity for organisations to upgrade their entry-level accounting software and legacy ERP systems.
Needless to say, it is fully integrated with Office 365 offering a wealth of productivity benefits and can be further extended with other Microsoft cloud services including; Office 365, PowerApps, Microsoft Flow and Power BI.
Dynamics 365 Business Central is essentially a re-brand of Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Financials & Operations and brings the full power of Microsoft Dynamics NAV to the cloud as part of the D365 suite.
Microsoft continues to evolve its Dynamics 365 Sales App further leveraging machine learning and analytics as well as providing deeper integration to LinkedIn and Office 365.
New 'Professional' license available at £49 per user per month in addition to the Enterprise license, which provides a cut-down version of the sales and service capabilities.
Deeper integration with LinkedIn Sales Navigator, provides up-to-date context about organisations and contacts. LinkedIn profile pictures are now also synched with corresponding contact records in D365.
Dynamics 365 for Sales Insights add-on provides advanced intelligence to sales users including relationship and sentiment health analysis.
The focus of Microsoft's investment in Customer Service in the Spring release is based on improved user experience, performance, developer productivity and compliance rather than new features.
Customer Service Hub application for case and knowledge management replaces the Interactive Service Hub and provides an intuitive application for those users focused on answering customer service enquiries that is optimized for different screen sizes, devices and orientations.
Dynamics 365 Portal can be used to create cloud-hosted web portals for external audiences and now provides the ability to search within attachments to improve the relevance of searches.
Voice of Customer Surveys have been improved with; the ability to cascade the deletion of surveys, survey translation enhancements, the ability to dynamically insert question responses into subsequent questions and improved analytics capabilities with the Voice of Customer content pack for Power BI.
Unified Service Desk has tools to help developers with deploying, configuring and extending the applications.
In the Spring Wave update, the Field Service App sees improvements to resource scheduling and optimization (RSO) and the ability to associate 3D content with customer asset records. Further investment has also been made to Connect Field Service (IoT) capability helping organisations proactively detect, troubleshoot and resolve service issues so technicians are only dispatched when necessary.
Associate 3D content with customer asset records. There is now the ability to upload 3D models or sequences (hosted either externally or within Dynamics 365) and associate these with customer asset records for use by technicians within the mobile app. Support file formats are hITF, FBX, GLB and OBJ.
Schedule board list view allows data to be visualised in a more meaningful way.
Run resource simulations without affecting actual bookings allowing administrators to understand the effects of adjusting optimization scope, constraints, objectives and other parameters to determine what optimisation configuration best matches business goals and objectives.
Include skill level as part of resource requirements to better match staff to the job requirement.
The Spring release of the Project Service App includes multidimensional pricing capabilities and improvements to the work breakdown structure. As with Field Service, Universal Resource Scheduling now includes a list view to be able to see data in a more meaningful way.

The temperatures are decreasing here in Augusta and that means soon we'll be counting on the comfort of our furnaces. This is typically the time we get a number of furnace repair calls from our customers worried about a unusual smell evading from their furnace. If it's been awhile since you've used your furnace and you smell something weird, stay calm. There's most likely nothing to worry about and there are several reasons your furnace could smell strange.
Last winter was probably the last time you've had to operate your furnace. Throughout the year, dust may have built up inside of your furnace. Starting up your furnace for the first time will burn that off, leaving a smell. This smell will spread through your home throughout your duct work. This generally isn't a dangerous condition and the scent will not last long. But, if the smell doesn't go away after a brief time, you'll have to call in an expert to inspect the issue.
Another probable cause of interesting smells coming from your furnace is a clogged air filter. A clogged filter will cause your blower motor to run harder which could cause the motor and/or your furnace to overheat.
You're better safe than sorry and if there are any odors coming from your furnace the experts at McCune Heating & Cooling in Augusta are ready to check things out and set your mind and nose at ease.
You're going to be depending on your furnace more and more these coming months, if you haven't yet, it is the perfect time to get your yearly furnace repair scheduled. Our certified technicians will get all those internal components cleaned and checked out to ensure your system will run efficiently and without troubling smells this Augusta winter.

STD Rates Are Higher Than Ever, According to a New CDC Report
By Yerin Kim Oct 11, 2019
STDs cases are at a record high, according to a new report released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Tuesday.
Combined cases of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis in 2018 amounted to over 2 million infections.
STD rates are higher than ever in the U.S.
STD cases were at an all-time high last year, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is taking urgent action to address this growing STD epidemic. According to a new report released by the CDC earlier this week, in 2018, combined cases of gonorrhea, chlamydia, and syphilis (which are the most commonly reported STDs), reached a record high in the U.S for the fifth year in a row. 😬😬😬
This content is imported from Third party. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site.
With more than 2 million cases reported from 2017 to 2018, the number of STD infections in the U.S. has gone up by more than 100,000 since the previous year.
So what is causing this ongoing outbreak?! According to the report, data suggests that contributing factors range from not using condoms, particularly among "vulnerable groups" like young people and gay and bisexual men, to the lack of STD programs at the local and state level. The report says that clinics have been closed and screening reduced as a result of budget cuts to local STD programs.
Though the CDC is working with state and local health departments and even developing a federal action plan, the STI Plan, to help reverse this epidemic, it's also important for you to take care of your health.
If you're sexually active, always make sure to use a condom (here's where to get condoms for FREE) to protect yourself from STDs, and get tested for infections regularly if you're with different partners. While contracting a STD is obviously no fun, most infections are easily curable with antibiotics. Leaving an STD untreated can cause health problems in the future, such as infertility and increased HIV risk, so it's important to address the infection as soon as you're aware of it.

Can spousal maintenance be ordered after a divorce has been finalized?
Here's a question that was posed to me recently in a consultation with a potential client of the Law Office of Bryan Fagan, PLLC: can spousal maintenance be awarded to a person after their divorce has already been completed? This person that met with me had suffered a stroke two months after her divorce had completed and now was unable to work or provide for her basic needs. She came in to see whether or not she could file a modification of her divorce decree to take her new disability into account. After all- the divorce had not been over but for a couple months. Was this possible, she wondered?
Unfortunately for this person the loss of a job or the development of a disability like she had to go through are not reasons enough for a spousal maintenance order to be inserted into the other obligations contained in final decree of divorce. In fact, there is no way that anyone (for any reason) may re-open the divorce in order to get a spousal maintenance provision included in the divorce decree. This is intended to protect spouses and not attempt to re-litigate a divorce after its conclusion- even if the conclusion was only a few months ago.
An enforcement case is a quasi criminal case that bears with them the potential for jail time as a consequence of failing to abide by the terms of a family law order. In the case of a spousal maintenance award, a court may enforce the order for spousal maintenance whether it was rendered by a judge or agreed to by the parties in mediation.
A question remains whether alimony payments and an order mandating payment of alimony from one spouse to another is enforceable by contempt (jail time). Alimony is a contractual debt that is paid from one spouse to another as opposed to spousal maintenance which is more akin to child support as a form of income. A person who owes another person a debt cannot be jailed for failing to make timely payments and as such most courts I imagine would not allow you to utilize contempt of court as a mechanism to spur payment.
Please note that there are prior Texas cases where your ability to enforce a maintenance order by contempt is not absolute. The overarching (general) practice of courts in Texas is to allow for contempt as a punishment for the failure to abide by a court's order in regard to spousal maintenance. To ensure that you are in a position to do so I would recommend that your order be drafted very meticulously. This means the language utilized to cover spousal maintenance should be specific with clear terminology that can tell the judge in plain language what the expectations are for the party who is obligated to pay the maintenance.
If you are in a position where you are needing to defend yourself against a spousal maintenance related enforcement case you do some defenses that you can present to a court. For instance, if you did not have the ability to pay the spousal maintenance as ordered then you should offer this defense to the court. Did you lose a job and been unable to find replacement work? Did you yourself become disabled (even temporarily) and therefore find yourself unable to work? If so then you should be sure to specify this for the court.
Short of having cash on hand, a court would look to the resources that you have available to you in order to pay your spousal maintenance obligation. If you lack property that could be sold to come up with the funds to pay the spousal maintenance as ordered you can present this type of defense in an enforcement case.
The final two defenses that are commonly utilized in a spousal maintenance enforcement case are either being unable to locate a person from whom you can borrow money to pay spousal maintenance or you were unable to borrow money form a source that you had previously identified. If a court is willing to say that you should borrow money to pay the maintenance you can see that you must exhaust every resource available- including taking out loans and/or selling property- in order to meet the obligation.
Can your wages be withheld in order to your spousal maintenance obligation?
Much like when it comes to child support a wage withholding order can be filed with the court and sent to your employer in order to take out a specific amount from your paycheck on a regular basis in order to pay spousal maintenance. This is especially the case if you have fallen behind in your payments before and it is shown to a court the filing of a wage withholding order is necessary in order for you to meet your obligation.
You are able to ask a court to have spousal support be paid to you on a temporary basis during the pendency of your divorce. A court can also order this on its own even if you have not done so yourself. This is a lifeline of sorts that will protect you and your ability to live a basic lifestyle while your divorce is in progress. Keep in mind that this is no guarantee of future payments after the divorce. We see this occur with some frequency in divorces where one spouse controls the finances and earns the community income while the other does not earn an income of any sort and has no control over the family finances.
If you believe that you will be in need of temporary spousal support then you should request it in your petition for divorce or in the answer that is filed in response to the petition for divorce. The key here is that a detailed and accurate financial statement will need to be presented to the judge prior to any hearing on this subject in order so that you can capture the present state of your personal finances.
A court will determine your specific need for temporary support and will make an award as such. Both your needs and the ability of your spouse to pay the support will be considered. Spousal support is not intended to help you live the same type of lifestyle as your spouse during the divorce, but rather to help you subsist until a later date when you become able to work and earn a sufficient income to provide for yourself. Finding a job, even if you just won a temporary spousal support award, is a great idea.
The attorneys with the Law Office of Bryan Fagan, PLLC appreciate you spending these past few days with us reading about the important subject of family law. We hope that the information we presented will assist you in your particular legal situation.

The Knife Angel must inspire us to do more to tackle the knife crime crisis
My speech for the arrival of the Knife Angel sculpture in Birmingham.
Good morning ladies and gentlemen
Let us reflect on why we are here.

Reece John Hipwood

Hazrat Umar
Jordan Moazami
Ten Birmingham lives – five of them teenagers – brutally lost as a result of knife crime in the last 12 months.
That's ten families left devastated by the loss of a loved one. Ten communities left mourning and in fear.
And that's the heart-breaking reality – the rise in knife crime is not about statistics – it's about human tragedy.
Today, as we welcome this eye-catching and provocative sculpture to Birmingham, we reflect on the grim reality that knife crime is a national emergency and tragically the West Midlands is on the front line.
Over 3,000 knife crime offences were recorded across this region last year – a 17 per cent increase on the previous 12 months.
And across the country we see more horrific incidents on an almost daily basis.
I won't pretend that the answer is a simple one, but I can promise you that we will continue to work together as a city and as a region to tackle this crisis.
Across Birmingham a number of schemes, including early intervention projects with schools, colleges and youth groups, are working to reduce violent crime and safeguard children and young people.
Projects like Compass Support, The Precious Trust and First Class Legacy are helping to identify and support young people at risk of being pulled into violence and gang-related activity.
But so much more can be done with the right support.
That's why last week I wrote to the Home Secretary in support of West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner, David Jamieson's plans for a Violence Reduction Unit that will enable us to reduce the harm caused by violence. I've also urged the Government to reverse catastrophic funding cuts to the Police and Youth Services.
And I will continue to call for our public services to be adequately funded, because you simply cannot put a price on the safety of our young people.
I started by listing the ten Birmingham people killed as a result of knife crime over the last 12 months.
Other towns and cities have similar heart-breaking lists and the sad truth is that if we don't address this national crisis, people will continue to die.
We must not let our young people down and I'm determined that Birmingham will play its part in tackling this national emergency.
So let's ensure we use the next four weeks, the time the Knife Angel will be here in Victoria Square, to inspire everyone to do more to safeguard our children and young people and to bring the city together in its determination to end the scourge of knife crime on the streets of Birmingham.

Google is a search engine that always finds ways to innovate and optimize their services to improve the overall user experience and provide the best search results. This 2018, we have already seen numerous updates, from Google Images removing the 'View Image' option to Google launching an algorithm update last March that caused a fluctuation in rankings.
This past month, Google has once again launched a new set of algorithm updates that continue to optimize search. One of the latest updates is the Google Speed Update, which aims to implement mobile loading speed as a search ranking factor. Mobile SEO has been gaining more traction over the past year, which is in line with the growing number of mobile users using search on their devices. We have covered mobile optimization in detail previously, and with the updates rolling in, it is time to re-open the discussion. Here are some of the most important updates during June and July 2018, and how to optimize your website to comply with these changes.
The first update we will be discussing is the newly-launched Google Speed update, which adds mobile page loading speed as a ranking factor. Mobile search has seen a rise in the number of users and searches inquiries over the past few years, with more people having a preference for browsing using their mobile devices. This rise saw Google once again adapting to the current trend and crafting new updates that make search work more efficiently.
Page loading speed is an important ranking factor in Google, as it directly affects the user experience. If a website takes too much time to load, users will prefer to view a different website altogether, thus reducing your chances of helping your traffic grow. With the Google Speed update, loading speed is once again in the spotlight, this time on mobile. With mobile loading speed a ranking factor, mobile optimization is the key to making it all work better for your website.
For those concerned with how will this update affect your website, Google stated that only the "slowest" websites will have their search rankings affected. Despite this statement, there is still a good chance that you might lose a good chunk of your traffic if you do not optimize accordingly.
Along with the launch of Google Speed, there have been instances that rankings have been fluctuating over the course of a month, with a lot of SEO professionals thinking that another algorithm update might be underway and that Google is once again testing the waters. While these fluctuations are normal and have happened earlier in the year, it is still worth a look to make sure that your SERP rankings will not be permanently affected.
It is important to note that a good number of tools are picking up these fluctuations. In Accuranker, the Grump rating for the past few days has ranged between Grumpy and Furious. This means that rankings have been going up and down during the past few weeks.
SERPmetrics has also picked up these fluctuations as well, with the graph also bouncing up and down during the past few weeks.
This is another interesting development that is worth monitoring in the next few weeks, as Google tends to subtly test out these updates quietly before officially launching it. Whether this is another effect of the Google Speed update, or simply just a test, only Google can confirm our speculations. For the meantime, keeping watch on your rankings is a must this time of the year, as more updates will surely arrive soon.
Google algorithm updates are always big news, despite how simple some of these can be, as they have an impact on our rankings, and can be a sign that new strategies and techniques need to be developed in order to keep your rankings up. With Google continuing to push for more mobile-friendly updates, expect more changes in the upcoming weeks.
If you have questions about mobile optimization or SEO in general, leave a comment below and let's talk.

Home HolidaysCity breaksSan Francisco
Picturesque, multi-ethnic, colorful. Vibrant, dynamic, charming. San Francisco is a real gem. Situated on the West Coast of the United States and built on more than 50 hills, the "Golden Gate City" is a triumph of art and architecture, a harmonious multitude of different races and cultures. Although the city was almost entirely destroyed by the earthquake in 1906, San Fran kept shining bright and still does.
From Union Square and North Beach to Japantown, you'll discover fascinating neighborhoods at every turn, each with their own distinct atmosphere. Jump on one of the cable cars and get ready for an adventure like no other. Whatever you're hoping to find, a holiday in the "City by the Bay" is a real breath of fresh air.
Things to do & sightseeing
'San Fran' is famous for its mixture of Victorian and modern architecture, its steep climbs, the diversity of its neighborhoods and its iconic culinary scene. When the sun reflects on the ocean, the city lights up in vibrant colour and the spectacle begins.
There is no San Francisco without the Golden Gate. Built to facilitate the travels between the city and Marin County, the bridge is today its most iconic landmark. At the time of its construction in 1937, it was the longest suspension bridge in the world, measuring two miles in length. You simply cannot visit San Francisco without witnessing this breathtaking feature. And if you want to breathe in San Francisco's vibrant energy, ride across the bridge to the nearby waterfront town of Sausalito for an unforgettable view.
Make sure you set aside some time for this one-of-a-kind experience. Alcatraz penitentiary is one of America's most notorious prisons. Located on Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay, Alcatraz opened in 1933 and operated for 30 years before re-opening in 1973 as a tourist site. You can reach the island by boat as it's only 1.5 miles off the shore of San Francisco.
The Fisherman's Wharf
This waterfront neighborhood is a must-see. It features many places to visit – from the Madame Tussauds museum to the Ripley's Believe It or Not!, as well as the Ghirardelli Square and the Aquarium of the Bay. Take a walk around Pier 39, home to more than 130 shops and restaurants. Here, it's time for some well-deserved retail therapy!
The Museums
San Francisco is home to some of America's most exquisite museums. A visit to the Legion of Honor is almost imperative: this museum hosts a superb collection of European decorative arts, sculptures and paintings. If you prefer modern art instead, then save some time for the San Francisco's Museum of Modern Art and you will not be disappointed. Fancy a bit of science? The Academy of Sciences is your best bet. And if you head west, you will bump into Alamo Square and its Painted Ladies – a set of unique Victorian row houses, also known as "Postcard Row".
Areas to visit
"The City by the Bay" is famous for the many different neighborhoods it brings together. A holiday to San Francisco will feel like going on a trip around the world.
If you want to keep exploring the city, don't miss out on China Town. San Francisco's China Town is the largest outside of Asia and the oldest of its kind in North America. With its temples, theatres, antique souvenir shops and teahouses, China Town attracts more tourists than the Golden Gate itself. As one of the least hilly neighborhoods, it's a real joy for the legs, too!
If you'd rather experience something a bit more "hippie", there is no better place than Haight-Ashbury. Flamboyant clothing shops, piercing and tattoos studios and upscale boutiques all contribute to the electric atmosphere here.
When walking San Fran's boulevards, the chances you will bump into the Financial District are very high. This is the city's biggest agglomeration of corporate headquarters, law firms, insurance companies and other financial institutions.
While the city might be beautiful, its outskirts are astonishing. There is no better place to start than the Napa Valley. Less than two hours from the city, be ready to dive into hundreds of hillside vineyards. There are plenty of wine tours and tastings to make the most of your time in the Valley. But don't worry if you are not a lover of wine - San Fran caters for all tastes. Why not take a 25-minute ferry ride to Angel Island Park and experience the city from one of its most beautiful perspectives? It will simply take your breath away.
On the subject of views and where to find them – save some time for Twin Peaks! These adjacent hills provide postcard views and are home to hundreds of different plants and animals.
Smooth jazz, all-night parties, stand-up comedy shows and live music. This is what San Francisco's nightlife looks like. Just like in the daytime, the city has something for everyone when the sun sets.
If you are in the mood for fancy cocktails, head to Union Square for some inspiration. Try Bourbon & Branch for something lowkey, and Riddle and Hawthorn for some impossibly stylish alcoholic beverages. And if you don't suffer from vertigo, enjoy a meal at Nob Hill Top of the Mark, one of San Francisco's legendary rooftop restaurants.
Would you rather dance the night away? San Francisco has you covered. Some say that jazz is old-fashioned, but the Haight's Club Deluxe begs to differ. Other recommended venues include the Cat Club, the DNA Lounge and Oasis. The city also offers plenty of options for amazing live music performances, like Sweetwater Music Hall in Marin County, The Fillmore and Slim's.
One important piece of advice for a holiday in San Francisco: bring some stretchy pants with you. Why? The city's culinary scene is one of the best in the world and you definitely don't want to miss out. From its sourdough, a wonder-like type of bread, to the outstanding Mission burrito - the food in San Fran is simply a dream!
The seafood here is especially delicious. Make sure to try the Swan Oyster Depot for some of the best oysters, crabs and sourdough bread in town. And don't forget Cioppino at Sotto Mare! Usually portioned for two, this tomato-based broth filled with crab parts, mussels, calamari and many other wonders is a delight for the palate.
And to round off your stay, pay a visit to the Anchor Brewing Company to taste the iconic anchor steamed beer. Fancy alcohol and coffee at the same time? Then Buena Vista Café is for you: experience the perfect combination of whiskey and whipped cream in one of San Francisco's most popular venues.
