Conor McGregor Bar Gets Bombed By Man
The former UFC Double Champion Conor McGregor is one of the biggest stars of the promotion. He is the owner of multiple assets of which his Black Forge Inn Pub is one of the them. The UFC star owns the licensed premises on Drimnagh Road in Crumlin, Dublin. It has been noted that a police investigation is ongoing after two petrol bombs were thrown at his pub overnight. Conor McGregor had previously leaked Canelo Alvarez's bank payment.
Conor McGregor's pub was bombed
According to an initial report from The Sun, the two bombs were found on the premises following the criminal incident. Fortunately, there was no damage caused, but local police are encouraging any potential witnesses to come forward with information to assist with the investigation. They are also seeking dashcam footage to help identify the perpetrators.
Cops asked for anyone with camera footage of the area overnight to come forward. They said:
"Gardai are particularly keen for anyone with camera footage from the area overnight to make this available to them. Anyone with any information is asked to contact Crumlin Garda station on 01 666 2000, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111 or any Garda station."
'The Notorious One' had purchased the pub for £2million last year. This also happens to be the same pub where McGregor assaulted an older patron, an incident for which he was later fined 1,000 euros. Soon after making this purchase, McGregor provided a video tour of the rebranded and remodeled establishment. McGregor's business savvy has earned him the #1 spot on Forbes' 2021 Highest-Paid Athletes List after he sold the majority stake of his Proper No. Twelve whiskey company.
He is currently out of action as he is recovering from a serious injury he suffered in his match against Dustin Poirier which he lost via doctor's stoppage after breaking his leg. He is expected to make his Octagon return later this year.

5 reasons why Freemode is one of the most rewarding aspects of GTA Online
By Alan Sahbegovic
Modified 05 May 2021
Image via EGM
Freemode in GTA Online can be rewarding for a variety of reasons.
Not all rewards are monetary. Some people value fun over efficiency. However, that doesn't mean people in GTA Online can't make a quick buck or two in Freemode. On the contrary, players can make a lot of money in Freemode whilst playing GTA Online. Whether a player is seeking cash or fun, Freemode is always there for them.
This list is in no particular order, and these are not the only five reasons players enjoy Freemode in GTA Online. There are a multitude of reasons for doing so.
#5 - It's a good break from the usual grind
Image via Gaming Cypher
Grinding might be one of the most important things to do in GTA Online, but it doesn't mean that it's the most fun thing to do. At the end of the day, GTA Online is a game, and games are meant to be fun. If a player treats grinding like a chore, it's no good.
Fortunately, Freemode is a good break from monotonous grinding. Players don't have to be in Freemode for long. After all, just messing around for five to ten minutes is often enough for players. Of course, players could also choose to be in GTA Online's Freemode for their entire gaming session if it's fun for them.
#4 - Freemode events
Image via GTA Wiki
There are still ways to gain cash and RP in GTA Online's Freemode. This is especially nice since players won't have to undergo various loading screens or jobs to participate in them. Every six in-game hours, there is a new event for players to partake in.
As these events take place in San Andreas, players don't have to partake in these Freemode events if they don't want to. They won't be teleported when the event is activated or anything like that. This is a good alternative for GTA Online players wishing to do something more active in Freemode.
Of course, some of the events and challenges are fun. Plus, cash and RP rewards aren't so bad either. So it's a decent alternative to the usual money-making methods some GTA Online players use.
#3 - Businesses
While Freemode is a blast in itself, one main thing is that players can make a truckload of cash through various businesses. As selling stock often takes place in the GTA Online world (and requires players to be in a public lobby), it technically counts as a reason for Freemode feeling so rewarding.
Some players might prefer sticking to heists as their primary income, but there are players who make a lot of money through their various businesses in GTA Online. Whether it's gunrunning or vehicle exports, there's often something to do for GTA Online players looking to make a profit in Freemode.
#2 - There is no pressure to do something wrong
Image via Rockstar Games
One of the best aspects of Freemode in GTA Online is that there is no single way to do it. Players can mess around as they explore the GTA Online map or they can hang out with friends in their apartments. There are so many activities within GTA Online, which might seem surprising given that there is no pressure to do something wrong.
However, that's where the beauty lies. Although there is a lot to do in Freemode in GTA Online, it tends to be of a relaxed nature. While getting into a one versus the world deathmatch might seem tense while in the moment, GTA Online players just have to remember they can do whatever they want without the pressure some missions tend to place on them.
#1 - It allows players to test out everything they have
Image via GTA Online Reddit
Most players in GTA Online have grinded to get the equipment and vehicles they have. However, all of these joyous items aren't just for show. After all, a player willing to purchase an orbital cannon should also be willing to use it at least once in GTA Online.
In Freemode, players can use whatever they want. If they wish to grief with an Oppressor Mk II, they're allowed to do so. If somebody wishes to grief the Oppressor Mk II griefers, then they can do that too.
Players can have good old one versus one matches with a random player to see who is the best fighter. Sometimes, vehicles will play a crucial role in this matchup whereas sometimes it's a battle of wits and weaponry. There is no limit to what a player can try to do in GTA Online's Freemode, and that's what makes it so fun for some players.

I know that we've discussed this in the past but the boss lost the notes that I gave him and we're looking for a CAD program again. The search engine only returned hits about Cadet heaters.
Our primary use for CAD will be documenting motor control circuits. Availability of the appropriate symbols would be a plus.
If I remember correctly there are a couple of good choices for around $100.
I'm interested in what low end CAD packages you're using and how you like them. We can't afford and don't need anything in the mid to high end CAD market.
Here is a better link. It retails for $69.00 and is able to open and save in AutoCAD formats.
Haven't check myself, but you might try your local technical school or university bookstore for student versions. There is a student version of the Microsoft Office products which is much less than the version for the public, and I am told it does much the same.
I've suggested IMSI's TurboCad, which is a very user friendly program. About $80.
Will open & save in AutoCad formats (I have had some problems with x-refs, though).
It comes with an entire disc of symbols.
It only lacks a couple of features of the full blast AutoCad (like "fence").
Here are two simple CAD programs that are probably not up to what you need, but at least the price is right.
Have you had any problems with TurboCAD ?
It was one of the programs on my short list until I read some posts on one of the CAD newgroups where people were complaining about compatibility and poor customer support.
I've never used their customer support system.
The only compatability problems I've encountered were once with the x-refs on someone else's plans, sent to me via e-mail, and as a compressed file.
If you are going to be generating all the drawings yourself, this shouldn't be an issue.
Maybe others have had problems that I haven't with compatability.

Q: Get position of table cell within overflow element I want to get the position/offset of a table cell and then using this data I want to append and position a new element in the exact same position.
The code to achieve this is as follows:
function addBlock()
{
    // get the cell position
    var cellPosition = $('.item').position(),
        cellPositionTop = cellPosition.top,
        cellPositionLeft = cellPosition.left;

    // append the overlay
    var blockOverlay = $('

').appendTo('.container').hide();

    // set the overlay width and height to the same as the cell
    blockOverlay.css({
        'background-color':'blue',
        'width': $('.item').outerWidth(),
        'height': $('.item').outerHeight()
    });

    // position the overlay in the same place as the cell
    blockOverlay.css({
        'position': 'absolute',
        'top': cellPositionTop,
        'left': cellPositionLeft
    });

    // show the overlay
    blockOverlay.show();
}

The table containing the cell is quite big and sits inside an overflowing element meaning that the table cell may be offscreen. If the above code is run without scrolling then it works fine, however if I scroll and then run it, the offset is incorrect. This is because even though I am using position() and not offset() it is getting the cell position relative to its parent (.container) at the time of calling the function, rather that its position regardless of the scroll position.
How can I solve this?
Here is a fiddle that shows the problem: https://jsfiddle.net/25e6qmnh/
Try clicking the button at various scroll positions and you will see that blue box only ever overlays the red cell when at the start position. It should ALWAYS overlay the red cell regardless of the scroll position.

A: You need to add $('.container').scrollLeft() to your cellPositionLeft, so the new line will look like this:
cellPositionLeft = cellPosition.left + $('.container').scrollLeft();

Your are not calculating the position with the scroll width, so you need to add it. You will also need to do the same with scrollTop(), but that will be left for you.
Here is a working example: https://jsfiddle.net/qorpucwq/

A: You can initialize the value of the element .item once and then it works fine.
function addBlock()
{
    // get the cell position
    var
        cellPositionTop = cellPosition.top,
        cellPositionLeft = cellPosition.left;

    // append the overlay
    var blockOverlay = $('

').appendTo('.container').hide();

    // set the overlay width and height to the same as the cell
    blockOverlay.css({
        'background-color':'blue',
        'width': $('.item').outerWidth(),
        'height': $('.item').outerHeight()
    });

    // position the overlay in the same place as the cell
    blockOverlay.css({
        'position': 'absolute',
        'top': cellPositionTop,
        'left': cellPositionLeft
    });

    // show the overlay
    blockOverlay.show();
}
var cellPosition;
$(document).ready(function(){
    cellPosition = $('.item').position();
    $('.clickme').on('click', function(e){
        e.preventDefault();
        addBlock();
    });

});

Here is the working fiddle.

The HW or WH belt evidence at gilgonews
Discussion in 'Long Island Serial Killer' started by Theforeigner, Jan 26, 2020.

In fact, Shannen Gilbert attorney John Ray, in LISK podcast that I included link to in previous post, alludes to the possibility that the WH/HM belt could be linked to Burke in the podcast's Season 1 Bonus Episode titled "911 Call Released".
Sleuth_Noob, Feb 10, 2021
Ray theorizes that the initials on the belt match the initials of a long time girlfriend of Burke's; it has previously been alleged that the two were connected to a prostitution ring that was run out of a shared house.

Thanks for responding. Even when I follow the path you did and download the images to my computer, the file names are shortened to beltpic1.png and beltpic2.png.
That being said, @Fabra has proven that the URL that includes the full filenames is still valid.
So Barnes it is. Who would've thought the release of these images would reveal this much and not due to the photograph itself but rather the name of the file.
Also, if you zoom in on beltpic1.png aka "belt pic Barnes 10-658464 ME10-4485 black2noglove.jpg" and look on the left side of it, there are two distinct and clear circles most of us recognize as being from the "Blur" tool. Why would SCPD alter the photo and blur this section out? And why would they do do it in such a crude fashion to make the blurring more obvious? It looks like they used the largest brush size available as opposed to using a tiny on and making a series of dots to blend it in, it's really a sore thumb.
If you look through the blur, it appears there are are 3 slash marks equidistant from one another and all going in the same direction. Why is this significant enough to blur out?
The blur tool is actually used on the entire left side of the belt along the edge from those obvious blur stamps you mentioned down to the bottom of the image. If you play around with the sharpness, texture, and clarity tools as well as the color effects, you can see the little rings all along the edge. I do wonder why they decided to blur whatever it is out. My guess would be that they want the public to focus on the letters and not get distracted by whatever it is that's there. Also at the bottom of the pic, you can see that the black leather is completely degraded.
Right...it's strange that they would not show the entirety of the belt, including different angles, to create a fully contextual illustration, if in fact the goal is to help the public identify ownership...
That's part of what makes me think that there is another reason for the release of these images; it might very well be an appeal to a specific individual...and also, they may just no longer have it and this is all they've got left.

Because you see the spacing in the wear consistent with carry equipment on the belt. You'd likely see the type of equipment/holster/scabbard and could likely deduce handedness (as some of us have done)
3Patriots, Feb 24, 2021
3Patriots said: ↑
And wouldn't releasing that detail be more helpful in narrowing the pool of potential owners, along w. accompanying language like "...we believe that the belt was handled by the killer, and strongly suspect that the owner is left-handed..." etc.?
Strange that SCPD would go out of their way to not share that information if the intent is to hope member of the public can help identify ownership, no?

Sleuth_Noob said: ↑
Maybe that's not actually their intent?

Yes, exactly...deductive reasoning re: very basic analysis of the images contradicts the official reason announced publicly by SCPD as to why they released them (..."asking public to help identify"). Go back in the thread and check my previous posts: They know EXACTLY who that belt belongs to, and the release of the images, if it is an appeal for assistance from public, is a very targeted appeal to specific indivdual(s), whose identities are also known to SCPD/FBI, in order to validate ownership of their specific POI, or to elicit some type of response from their POI, or someone else connected to it.
GrayShadow, Zhivago and Angela_Beckett like this.

Fully agree, here. Ownership and significance of the relationship between owner and POI are already understood by LE.
Release of the belt had a two-fold purpose. First, seeking out any non-participant who has some information or previous knowledge, exposure or recognition of the initials and/or font ("I had an ex- who had a similar belt…", "I recognize the markings…"). This would simply be additional corroboration on the ownership of the belt and help establish a link between the owner and a POI. Second, it was done to 'rattle' anyone who has intimate knowledge and understanding of the significance ("what else did I accidentally leave behind…", "that is MY belt…", "what do I need to do now…") which might evoke new actions by the perpetrator(s) and/or accomplice(s).
Remember the oversight reference to a glove in the original images on the Gilgo News website? How about the "photoshopping"? It is all discussed in detail earlier in this thread. Bottom line the ORIGINAL image name included "glove" and was very soon renamed without the reference. The image always appeared to have been photoshopped, but not to hid anything about the belt. The alteration was to remove the glove in order not to reveal the true size of the belt.
There has been so much churn about hiding marks on a garrison belt that might divulge left- or right-handedness, a holster mark or handcuff case, etc. A gloved finger or thumb or even full palm print would actually reveal the width of the belt is relatively narrow. A women's belt and not a garrison belt.
Much was discussed here in December and early January about two issues. First, the possibility of "HM" (if in fact those are the initials versus "WH" which the SCPD said was also possible – and who save those intimately proximate would actually know?) being HM who has been described both as an intimate partner and a business partner of the JB.
Release was simply to "rattle" the guilty and/or acquire corroboration.

You'd have a tough time convincing me that is anything but a garrison belt; especially when coupled with the chatter that PC Hart indicated the belt as 1.5" wide. If anyone has a clip of that audio, I'd love to hear it.
3Patriots, Mar 1, 2021
Kittybunny, ListeningAndWatching, GrayShadow and 1 other person like this.
Fair enough 3Patriots. I, too, recall inferences that LE had stated it was a 1.5" garrison belt but have never been able to find actual citations to back that up. I am perfectly open to that possibility. I've just not been able to find a hard attributable resource. My belief then was that (garrison belt) leaning began as simply to further the belief that LE is implicated in the crimes. I am NOT trying to deflect from LE. I, personally, have no doubt that LE is very deeply involved in the crimes themselves. Just my opinion.

I just reviewed a pile of press releases from Hart and Sini etc, the only reference to a measure of the belt was when they first released the lettering, she answered a question of one of the pressers about the size of the lettering being one half inch by one half inch. Other than that the only other info that she shared was that it was found at one of the crime scenes and believes that it was handled by the suspect and was not any of the victims. I mean I can be missing a bunch of other discussions on this, but from the main ones, so far I can't find anything on the width of the belt being released.

Maybe they pulled that info?

I seem to recall that the reference to the belt belonging to "a large male", or something similar, came from some sort of television interview w. Geraldine Hart, and it followed the most recent release of the belt images.

"...Hart says the belt belonged to a large male."
Kittybunny, OnTheCase27, GrayShadow and 1 other person like this.
Yes I recall that as well, if the lettering is a half inch by half inch, then I guess it would be easy to guestimate the width of the belt with that info anyway.
If the belt size is that of a large male, as Hart mentions, and the lettering is one half inch by one half inch, think of how ridiculously small those letters would look in contrast to the size of belt...
There's only one reason that I can think of why someone would do that: to ensure that their belt is not confused with someone else who has the same 'standard issue' size belt, as in part of a standard issued uniform of some type.
I will listen to some podcasts and see what I can find.

Heather Malone should be a major discussion over and over with this. Kudos to Guy Malone her ex husband for breaking silence in recent time and doing the right thing.
Heather Malone and Burke ran a prostitution ring for many years in the late 90s/early 00s. She would recruit women as a hair dresser that she found naive & vulnerable to groom into what they needed. Most of these women were between 18-30 years of age. I had an affair with a woman who is now a high level medical practitioner as a manger of a hospital department on LI who they attempted to recruit. The more insane part about all of that is quite a few other law enforcement individuals knew of this and were clients of this ring. From my investigation on LI and work in the industry over the years a large percentage of clients of these women are law enforcement, councilman, doctors, lawyers, politicians and prominent businessmen. People outside of LI need to understand this is bigger than what you could imagine. People only talk about the corruption of the SCPD but they really don't know how deep this all goes and why many people stay silent. In fear of the livelihood, reputation, their careers, beliefs, conceived realities and well life.

Bridget Moynahan hits the screens this fall with Nicolas Cage and Ethan Hawke in Lord of War (Photo: Bridget Moynahan).
Tom Deignan, Contributor
Having conquered the world of music and shed light on global poverty, U2 lead singer Bono is now eyeing Hollywood. Presumably this is the charismatic crooner's way to kill time until he is awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
Until then, Bono is developing a film project which revolves around an Irish musician who comes to the United States to work with a show band in Las Vegas. Entitled A Version of Las Vegas, the film is being described as a comedy-drama. The main character is a musician who left a son back in Ireland. The son unexpectedly tracks his father down in Vegas.
To make the movie, Bono is teaming up with fellow Irish musician Barry Devlin, a former member of Horslips who also wrote episodes of the BBC's famed Ballykissangel series. Devlin previously worked with Bono on a 1998 TV movie about the making of U2's earlier documentary Rattle and Hum.
Thanks to his fight against starvation in the third world, Bono also reportedly helped British screenwriter Richard Curtis with his recent HBO movie The Girl in the Café, about a man and a woman who fall in love amidst a backdrop of global poverty.
Let's hope the new project turns out better than Bono's last foray into film. Bono was a producer/co-writer on the 2001 Mel Gibson film Million Dollar Hotel, which was roundly lambasted by critics.
Irish hotshot director John Moore is working frantically on his third Hollywood movie. That's because the film, a remake of a Hollywood horror classic entitled The Omen 666, must be released on June 6, 2006 — 6/6/06, in an attempt to capitalize on the satanic association with the biblical "number of the beast."
The 1976 original Omen starred Irish-American legend Gregory Peck, who played a character forced to confront a family into which the child of Satan has unwittingly been born.
Moore, a 34-year-old native of Dundalk, recently was quoted as saying: "There are a lot of hardcore fans [of the original] that are going to want to burn my house down when they hear that I'm going to remake it, but that comes with the job," he said. "I was a huge fan of the original and I think the time is good to re-do it so I said, "Let's go." There are a couple of new twists. Fans of the original won't be disappointed. It's very true to the original but it has a more modern context."
Moore, whose first film was the hitech war thriller Behind Enemy Lines with Owen Wilson, later directed another remake, The Flight of the Phoenix, based on a 1965 film about airplane crash victims who try and put their plane back together to get home.
Also on the Irish directorial front, Jim Sheridan's gritty film based on the life of rapper 50 Cent is due out in November. Get Rich or Die Trying may seem like a radical change of pace for Sheridan, whose films include In the Name of the Father, The Field and My Left Foot. But, actually, the story of the rapper's rise up from the drug-ridden streets of Queens is just another tough New York story about an outsider, not unlike In America, Sheridan's 2003 movie about Irish immigrants in Manhattan. In fact, recent reports suggest Sheridan will return to Hell's Kitchen in a film to be called Emerald City. Sheridan will direct the film, based on real events, about the Irish mafia in New York City.
The script for Emerald City will be written by Lukas Reiter, who previously worked as an assistant district attorney in New York City and has penned scripts for TV hits such as Boston Legal and The Practice. It should be added, however, that this is just one of many projects Sheridan has been linked with. There is also his reported film about a Kennedy-like Irish-American political dynasty.
It has also been reported that Sheridan will be remaking Akira Kurosawa's 1952 Japanese classic Ikiru with Tom Hanks starring and acclaimed author/screenwriter Richard Price doing writing duties.Whether all of these projects ever make it to the big screen remains to be seen.
There is no doubt, however, that Irish-American actress Bridget Moynahan will be hitting screens this September alongside Nicolas Cage and Ethan Hawke in Lord of War. The film revolves around an arms dealer, played by Cage, who is the best in his illicit business, yet who is also plagued by guilt about the damage he may be doing to the world.
This sounds a bit like Pierce Brosnan's next film.
His future as James Bond may be up in the air, but Brosnan is still keeping busy. In November his latest action film, The Matador, hits theaters. The suave Irish actor plays a hit man who suddenly has a crisis when it strikes him that his jet-setting life has left him with no friends or family to care for.
Brosnan's character then tries to befriend a straight-arrow businessman following a chance meeting in a hotel bar. The Matador also stars Hope Davis and Philip Baker Hall and was directed by Richard Shepard.
Michael Moore has announced what his next documentary project will be, following his mega-smash hit, the ultra-controversial Fahrenheit 9/11. Next up for Moore — who has said his Irish Catholic roots influenced him to fight for the little guy — is a documentary about Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) called Sickos. Already, there are reports that some HMO employers have been telling workers what they should and shouldn't say if they are approached by the maverick filmmaker. "We haven't shot anything yet," Moore was recently quoted as saying, "and they're totally discombobulated."
Speaking of controversy, there was much less of it than might have been expected when director Michael Winterbottom recently released the film 9 Songs, which featured several sex scenes in which the actors, well, were not acting.
Many critics were impressed, if somewhat baffled, by the minimalist, yet explicit, exploration of one couple's brief romance. One of the film's producers, Irish-born Andrew Eaton, certainly impressed one important fan with the bold film: his 17-year-old daughter. According to The New York Times Magazine (which dubbed Eaton "an exuberant Irishman") Eaton's daughter sent him a text message while shooting 9 Songs which read: "I'm so proud of you, you are changing the world."
Eaton and Winterbottom have teamed up on a number of other indy hits, most recently 24 Hour Party People from 2002, which starred Steve Coogan, whose parents were Irish immigrants to England.
Two Irish-Americans recently signed on to star in TV series. Aidan Quinn's Book of Daniel, in which he plays an Episcopalian minister plagued by doubt and other problems, will run for at least 13 weeks on NBC this fall. Also, Anjelica Huston will appear in three upcoming episodes of the Showtime series Huff.
Finally, an Irish acting legend who spanned generations and earned an Oscar nomination has died.
Geraldine Fitzgerald starred in films such as Watch on the Rhine (1943), Ten North Frederick (1958), The Pawnbroker (1964) and Arthur (1981). She also played a tyrannical Irish matriarch in the trashy, forgotten Rodney Dangerfield gem Easy Money (1983).
In 1939 Fitzgerald earned an Oscar nomination as best supporting actress for Wuthering Heights, and later embarked on an illustrious theater career.
The daughter of a Dublin solicitor, Fitzgerald was introduced to the Gate Theatre by her aunt Shelagh Richards, a Gate star. Fitzgerald performed alongside James Mason and Orson Welles, with whom there have always been rumors about an affair. She married Edward Lindsay-Hogg and had one son, Michael, who has had a long career in British TV and film. Despite a striking resemblance, Michael has long denied being the son of Orson Welles.
Interestingly, Michael Lindsay-Hogg directed the 2000 tele-movie Two of Us about the Beatles, which featured Aidan Quinn as well as another son of an Irish acting legend, Richard Harris' son Jared.
Geraldine Fitzgerald was 91 ♦

This phase I trial studies the safety of SVN53-67/M57-KLH peptide vaccine in incomplete Freund's adjuvant together with sargramostim in treating patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma who are receiving lenalidomide maintenance therapy. Vaccines made from survivin peptide may help the body build an effective immune response to kill cancer cells that express survivin. Incomplete Freund's adjuvant may help stimulate the body's immune response to a vaccine treatment. Colony-stimulating factors, such as sargramostim, may increase the production of blood cells. Lenalidomide may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving SVN53-67/M57-KLH peptide vaccine in incomplete Freund's adjuvant and sargramostim before or after the start of lenalidomide maintenance therapy may be a better treatment for multiple myeloma.


John Hilton (the elder) (1565 – 1609(?)) was an English countertenor, organist and composer of mainly sacred works.
Hilton is best known for his anthems "Lord, for Thy Tender Mercy's Sake" (which may actually be by one of the Farrants) and "Call to Remembrance".
Hilton was born in 1565. By 1584 he was a countertenor at Lincoln Cathedral. At the start of 1594 he became organist at Trinity College, Cambridge.
He was the father of John Hilton the younger, also a composer, which makes definitive assignation of their combined sacred works problematic; whereas his only secular work appears to have been the madrigal Fair Oriana, beauty's Queen, which he wrote for The Triumphs of Oriana.
He died, probably in Cambridge, prior to 20 March 1609.

Paragliding is an amazing adventure which can fulfil one's dream to fly in the air like a bird. To fly a paraglider one need hard practice and good amount of time and knowledge of Paragliding to perform this adventurous skill. Paragliding becomes popular in India, especially in Bir Billing which is a very beautiful and charismatic destination, located in the west of Distt. Kangra of Himachal Pradesh, India. This place was first discovered by a foreign tourist. The Billing small grassland, situated on the top of the mountain which is nearly 14 KM away from the village Bir. Billing is nearly 2400 meters high from the sea level. Down the hill of Billing, there is a beautiful Bir Valley comprising several small other villages with many big and small water streams, Fields and dense green forest of pine and other trees. This place has favourable conditions for aero-sports and it was selected for Hang gliding events by the state in 90's. After that, few small and big events for Paragliding were also held here and it has been gaining a lot of reputation for the past few years. On Oct 2015, Paragliding World Cup India 2015 was held for the very first time here in Bir Billing.


What is LEDES and why is it important for lawyers?
Although LEDES has been a common format for legal billing for nearly two decades, it is not uncommon to meet attorneys who have worked in law firms for years who have never heard of LEDES. Which is understandable and perhaps fine if those attorneys never touched the billing process outside of inputting their time. But for partners, administrators, and other lawyers looking to take charge of their practices' billing practices, having a basic knowledge of LEDES is important, and what is even more important is having legal billing software that effortlessly incorporates the LEDES format.
The non-profit committee sought to develop legal billing standards which would "meet the needs of corporations, law firms and legal industry software vendors" with the stated goals of having uniform (yet voluntary) standards designed to keep bills simple and unambiguous while preventing law firms from having to give information on bills that was beyond their reasonable capacity to provide. In pursuit of these goals, LEDES has created several different billing formats for law firms to use in billing customers, which are now widely accepted throughout the legal world both inside and outside of the United States.
The TimeSolv application will also guide you through all additional steps to make sure your invoices comply with the LEDES format, making your invoices compatible with billing requirements at major clients and comparable with those generated by large firms around the country.

De-identified Data Sets
Sep 9, 2020 10:15 pm
NOTE: This page provides HIPAA-related guidance on "de-identified data sets,"applicable only to data based on Protected Health Information (usually medical records). Other federal regulations enforced by the IRB have different standards and definitions for "de-identified," which may impact IRB regulatory status. See heading below "Contrast with Common Rule."
A de-Identified data set is a data set that meets both of the following:
Does not identify any individual that is a subject of the data.
Does not provide any reasonable basis for identifying any individual that is a subject of the data.
A dataset is de-identified under HIPAA Privacy Rule by one of the following means:
Safe Harbor Method
Expert Determination Method
Safe Harbor Method of removing HIPAA identifiers, which includes both the following provisions,
Removal of all 18 elements enumerated in the Privacy Rule that could be used to identify the individual or the individual's relatives, household members, and employers (when applicable)
Geographic subdivisions smaller than a state.
All elements of dates (except year) for dates that are directly related to an individual, and all ages over 89 and all elements of dates (including year) indicative of such age
Health plan numbers
Certificate or license numbers
Vehicle identification/serial numbers, including license plate numbers
Device identification/serial numbers
Universal Resource Locators (URLs)
Internet protocol (IP) addresses
Biometric identifiers, including finger and voice prints
Full face photographs and comparable images
Any unique identifying number, code, or other similar information.
Note on #2: ZIP codes, counties, census tracts, and other equivalents must be removed; the first 3 digits of a zip code may be included in a de-identified data set for an area where more than 20,000 people live. Many levels of geographic identifiers are permitted in a Limited Data Set
Notes on #3: Many records contain dates of service or other events that imply age. Elements of dates that are not permitted in a HIPAA-de-identified dataset include the day, month, and any other information that is more specific than the year of an event. For instance, "January 1, 2009" and "January 2009" are both considered to contain PHI.
Not only birth or death dates, but also dates of service (appointment, biopsy, surgery, etc.) are considered dates "directly related to the individual."
Dates are permitted in a Limited Data Set
Note on #18: According to OCR Guidance on Satisfying the Safe Harbor Method, examples include
identifying number - study-specific subject identification numbers,
identifying code - barcodes designed to be unique for each patient for tracking purposes
identifying characteristic - anything that distinguishes an individual and allows for identification; this may also be called an "indirect identifier."
The covered entity or its workforce, e.g., the principal investigator, has no actual knowledge that the remaining information could be used alone or in combination with other information to identify the individual who is the subject of the information
Expert Determination Method based on statistical analysis. In order to be considered de-identified under this method, an individual with knowledge of and experience with generally accepted statistical and scientific methods for rendering information not individually identifiable must provide certification that the data is de-identified. When making such a determination, the individual should find that the risk is very small that the information could be used (either alone or in combination with other reasonably available information) to identify any individual who is a subject of the data. Additionally, the methods and results of the analysis must be documented, and retained by the principal investigator to provide to the covered entity upon request.
Refer also to Michigan Medicine Policy 01-04-340 on De-identification and Re-identification of Protected Health Information (PHI).
Creating a De-Identified Data Set
Michigan Medicine Policy permits its workforce to create de-identified data sets for research purposes. Before accessing the PHI, researchers should seek a determination from the IRB to confirm appropriate de-identification by filling out an eResearch Regulatory Management (eResearch or eRRM) application.
Research involving a De-identified Data Set
Researchers intending to obtain an already-de-identified data are encouraged but not required to seek a determination from the IRB by filling out an eResearch Regulatory Management (eResearch or eRRM) application for "Activities not regulated as human subjects research."
Health information that has been properly de-identified according to HIPAA Privacy Rule is not considered to be PHI.
Research on non-identifiable information, or on coded private information where the researchers never have access to "re-identify," does not qualify as "research involving human subjects" per OHRP Guidance.
U-M Human Research Protections Program does not require formal IRB determination for activities falling outside the definitions of "research involving human subjects."
If you are sharing data outside the covered entity, open an "Outgoing DUA" Unfunded Agreement (UFA) form in eResearch Proposal Management (eRPM). The Medical School Office of Research Data & Biospecimen sharing expects a formal DUA for external sharing of any individual-level clinical data, even if de-identified.
If you are receiving a dataset from an outside entity that requires a formal DUA, use the "incoming DUA" Unfunded Agreement (UFA) in eResearch Proposal Management (eRPM). DUAs may not be required for HIPAA-de-identified data.
Retaining a code to permit re-identification
HIPAA Privacy Rule permits a covered entity or its workforce to assign to, and retain with, de-identified health information a code or other means of record identification if that code
is not derived from or related to the information about the individual, and
could not be translated to identify the individual.
The covered entity may not use or disclose the code or other means of record identification for any other purpose than re-identification, and may not disclose its method of re-identifying the information.
A table showing data elements permitted in de-identified data and limited data sets is available through the References section of UMHS Policy 01-04-032 on Limited Data Sets.
Contrast with Common Rule
Under the Common Rule a dataset is "de-identified" only when no one could "re-identify" the data: not the recipients, nor the data provider, nor anyone else. If the data were "coded," any "key to the code" must be destroyed to "de-identify" the dataset.
The Common Rule does not recognize as "de-identified" information that retains a code to permit re-identification: rather, this is "coded" information which is "indirectly identifiable." Therefore, a dataset can be "identifiable" under Common Rule definitions while also meeting HIPAA "de-identified" criteria.

Caritas Award Recipients Named
First Appeared in the Beacon, July 4th 2019
Written by: CECILE PAGLIARULO, Reporter
Catholic Charities in the Diocese of Paterson has announced the Caritas award-winners to be honored at the annual Caritas Gala in November. Late last month, Catholic Charities brought the award-winners together for a luncheon in the Diocesan Pastoral Center to kick off its plans for its annual Caritas Gala.
At the luncheon, the 2019 Caritas award recipients met for the first time sharing their love for the agencies of Catholic Charities and discussing the work Catholic Charities does every day for the needy in the Paterson Diocese. Joining with them were Bishop Serratelli; Msgr. Herbert Tillyer; president of the board of Catholic Charities, and several employees of the three agencies. The annual Caritas Gala, now in its 19th year, recognizes individuals and groups who make a difference in the lives of people that Catholic Charities serves at each of its agencies in Passaic, Morris and Sussex counties. The black-tie event will be held on Saturday, Nov. 2 at the Birchwood Manor in Whippany.
At the gala, the Moglia Family Foundation will receive the Bishop's Award; Dianne Macchia Hanson will receive the Department for Persons with Disabilities Award; The Delbarton Campus Ministry Program will receive the Catholic Family and Community Services Award; and St. Joseph's Health in Paterson will receive the Straight and Narrow Award.
Scott Milliken, CEO of Catholic Charities, said, "The Caritas Gala highlights the important mission of Catholic Charities in the Diocese of Paterson. Each day, we help thousands of people in need. Our award nominees — The Moglia Family Foundation, St. Joseph's Health, Dianne Macchia Hanson, and the Delbarton Campus Ministry Program — truly epitomize Christ's love for all. Our gala helps raise needed funds for the most vulnerable throughout the Diocese of Paterson. We ask for your support of this event to honor our nominees and make a difference in the lives of many."
The Bishop's Award
The Moglia Family Foundation collaborated with the Diocese of Paterson and Catholic Charities in 2018 to recognize and to honor Msgr. Mark Giordani. In addition to his lifelong service to the Church, the Cathedral of St. John the Paterson in Paterson and the City of Paterson, Msgr. Giordani has also served the poor and those helped by Catholic Charities. The Moglia Family (cousins of Msgr. Giordani) gave to make a difference in the lives of others and honor Msgr. Giordani.
On behalf of the foundation, Dr. Louis Gambetta, a member of the family and a podiatrist in Little Falls, said, "The family never forgot its roots. That combined with the love of helping people and philanthropy, they were proud to give to others. They made this donation in honor of Msgr. Mark for what he has done for half a century in the city of Paterson."
This recognition included the largest gift ever presented to Catholic Charities to renovate an interior space at 380 Straight Street. The purpose of the renovation is to design and build a safe, secure, warm and inviting recovery wellness center for individuals in all stages of their recovery. The Msgr. Mark Giordani Center will be completed in 2019, thanks to the thoughtfulness of the Moglia Family Foundation and will make a lasting impact in the community for years to come.
Department for Persons with Disabilities Award
Dianne Macchia Hanson has been involved with the Department for Persons with Disabilities (DPD) for the last 30 years. She was first drawn to the DPD when her Aunt Sissy moved into Wayne House (now known as Barnet House). During this time, she and her family have selflessly given to the individuals served at the DPD.
"My journey with Barnet House began many, many years ago. My Aunt Sissy (Charles Ann) was a resident. After her passing in 2009, I felt it important for my family and me to give back as a way of saying thank you," Hanson said. "With the help of many dear friends, we adopted Barnet House residents and hosted Christmas parties and summer pool parties. In 2017, with the help of the DePaul Catholic High School football team and the St. Vincent DePaul youths in Stirling, the parties moved to the DePaul campus. At Christmas, we now adopt Barnet and Fitzpatrick Houses and this July we are super excited to be hosting a BBQ with all 10 of the group homes."
For much of the last two decades she has held a Christmas gift drive for the individuals of DPD's Barnet House and Fitzpatrick House in her aunt's memory. The individuals served by these programs are financially needy and with few or no involved relatives. Dianne's kindness assures that Christmas is bright for these individuals. Through the years, Dianne has reached out to her family members and friends to support this Christmastime endeavor," said Milliken.
As Hanson's children have grown, they have become more involved with the DPD. As a volunteer for DePaul, Hanson has also motivated the students and teachers to further their connection with the DPD. Annually, Hanson helps run both a Christmas event and Valentine's Day event in coordination with the DePaul varsity football team for the DPD.
Catholic Family and Community Services Award
The Campus Ministry program acts as the heartbeat of Delbarton School in Morristown, providing opportunities for students to seek and encounter God and his love for them, as well as to respond to that love through lives of faith and service.
Delbarton School has been a long-time supporter of Catholic Family & Community Services (CFCS) in Paterson. "For nearly two decades Delbarton students, families, faculty and alumni have collected and distributed thousands of Christmas gifts to students in the CFCS pre-school and youth programs. Throughout the years the Delbarton family has also collected food and clothes for the Father English Pantry," said Milliken.
"This is more than charity for Delbarton School; they are cultivating a culture of giving and philanthropy that extends far beyond just purchasing and giving a gift to a needy child. CFCS is one of many charities that receives support from Delbarton as the school instills in its students the responsibility for caring for, loving, those who are less fortunate," he said.
David Hajduk, director of mission and ministry and religious studies teacher at Delbarton School, said, "Our Christmas Toy Drive is a student driven, school-wide effort. Students participate in this annual collection of toys through their small groups of students, representing all grade levels, led by senior and junior 'deans' inspired by The Rule of St. Benedict, 21:1-4 on a school day in December. Every group collects toys for a particular age and gender. The gifts go to children and families in need in partnership with Catholic Charities in the Paterson Diocese. Distribution occurs on the Sunday following the collection and we have consistently had approximately 75 to 100 student and parent volunteers for the day. The experience captures the spirit of the holiday season, as Delbarton students interact with the families and children as they lead them around the hall to choose their toys."
Straight and Narrow Award
St. Joseph's Health has had a cooperative and collaborative relationship with Catholic Charities, since Catholic Charities was established circa 1948. Adoption was the first service that Catholic Charities offered and given the proximity of the hospital and its commitment to the poor and disenfranchised, the hospital is where birth mothers received care and delivered. Similarly, the hospital has always been available to care for any of our clients in need of medical psychiatric and dental care.
In acknowledging the award, Kevin Slavin, CEO and president of St. Joseph's Health, said, "When a healthcare organization is as deeply woven into the fabric of the community as St. Joseph's is, the effects are far reaching, enabling us to provide a meaningful commitment to residents from throughout the region. By planting the seeds of this fine institution over 150 years ago, no one could have ever imagined the tremendous growth that would take place, or the wonderful impact that would blossom for decades to come. We are proud to serve as the stewards of this great organization and honor the spirit of our founders — The Sisters of Charity of St. Elizabeth — as advocates of its healing mission. Our success has been and will continue to be rooted in our shared mission and strong Catholic values, allowing us to provide exceptional, high quality healthcare in an atmosphere of compassion and spirituality."
St. Joseph's emergency department and clinics have always been available to clients at Straight and Narrow and Catholic Family and Community Services, often serving as an emergency referral. The hospital has also provided Catholic Charities board members over the years including Sister Jane Frances Brady and Sister Barbara Conroy on the CFCS board; Sister (Dr.) Christine Reyelt and Ken Morris on the Straight and Narrow board.
When Murray House, now in Clifton, first opened in Paterson, several physicians, including Dr. Lawrence Barnet, performed house calls, free of fees. Whenever Catholic Charities has put together service trips for example to Mexico, Guatemala, Peru; St. Joe's has been there to donate medicine and medical supplies. Longtime Caritas sponsor, St. Joseph's Health, is a regular attendee of the event and previously printed the journal gratis.
