Being Productive Feels Great, don't you think!
Have you ever had a quiet period that felt like a full stop? It may have brought on by holidays, illness or even fear? Then something happened that inspired you and a decision was made to just get moving. Do you remember how that felt?
I have had a (l-o-n-g) period of quiet this past while due to a health issue, nothing serious but slowed me down to a near stop. My extreme low energy shifted, I made some new decisions and got back to a more consistent pace of work. WOW, it feels great!
Endorphins at work I suspect. No, I did not take up jogging or hop back on a bicycle (not in this lifetime), I just made a decision every day to take projects, like my recent video series, a step closer to completion. In short, I used the tools and strategies I have added to the free video series so I am an example of how well it works.
Why we stop doesn't matter, its getting started that seems to take so much more energy to get momentum going. Some stops are important to take, especially taking care of yourself and enjoying life. This is important to have the time, energy and mental space to do all the necessary tasks in every area of your life, including your business!
Holidays are necessary for your physical and mental well being. Spending time with family and friends is fun and recharges your batteries. If you neglect to add some space in your calendar, you may be forced into that full stop. There is something in that statement for many of us.
Watch your inbox for more information and your chance to sign up for the FREE video series. The series will help you get started, keep moving and do it all in the best and most productive way. I look forward to helping you Feel Great while being Productive!

It Happens Here launch new sexual assault app
3rd November 2015 Adam Smith
Oxford University students have written and launched a new mobile application in support of survivors of sexual assault.
The free app, which is called First Response and is available for both Android and Apple users, is designed to be used by both survivors and friends of survivors at Oxford. According to its description on the Google Play store, it offers "information about optional ways to respond, essential knowledge about support resources, critical contact details, and answers to frequently asked questions". The app also contains a feature whereby users can tap a heart icon to display a message of encouragement from one of the app creators. First Response was created through a collaboration between the Oxford Sexual Abuse and Rape Crisis Centre (OSARCC), OUSU's It Happens Here campaign, Code4Rights, and a group of over 30 students.
Ellie Bennett, Volunteer and Outreach Co-Ordinator at OSARCC, an Oxford-based organisation of women working to help survivors, commented: "[We are] delighted to have worked on the production of the First Response app. We know that many survivors of sexual violence find it hard to know what their options might be, or where they can get support. Providing a source of high-quality information about some of these issues is a great step forward for the Oxford community. We believe it's important that all survivors are empowered to make their own decisions about what option or support is appropriate for them, and hope that the app will enable both survivors, and their supporters, to feel better-informed to make these decisions."
Eden Tanner is Co-Chair of Operations at It Happens Here. The awareness campaign seeks to make Oxford a safe place for all people by engaging with the University and the community. Tanner told this paper: "I'm thrilled to have been a part of the development of such a critical piece of technology. Empowering survivors with all of the information about their choices is a vital first step to ensuring the help they may seek is available to them. I hope to see the app downloaded far and wide so that no member of our community is without this information in their time of need."
The app was written over the course of ten months by a team of female students. As the team had little or no previous experience in coding, they were trained during the production period by the organisation Code4Rights. Code4Rights is a technology education start-up founded by former Rhodes Scholar Joy Buolamwini, who states that its "mission is to show compassion through computation". The business offers courses and workshops to help people create meaningful technology for their respective communities and promote rights around the world.
Highlighting the pioneering nature of the project, Buolamwini says: "We are thrilled to share the First Response Oxford app with the Oxford community as the first app to address sexual violence in the area. While outside of Oxford there are apps that address sexual violence, to our knowledge we are the first to enable community members to learn how to code and then contribute to pages that compose the app." She also adds: "Women are over-represented as survivors of sexual violence and under-represented as creators of technology."
Buolamwini's previous ventures include creating an Android-based solution to help eliminate Trachoma in Ethiopia, and founding the Zamrize initiative to empower Zambian youth to become creators of technology. She is currently Graduate Research Assistant at the MIT Media Lab, and has previously held the Rhodes, Fulbright, Google Anita Borg, Astronaut and Stamps scholarships.
First Response was funded with the help of the Oxford IT Innovation Challenges, a fund to support small digital start-ups expected to benefit the University community. As a part of the University's IT Capital Plan for investing in University-wide IT infrastructure, they aim to improve the experiences of staff and students at Oxford by selecting innovative digital projects to fund. This year's IT Innovation Challenge, allowing students to receive funding of up to £15k towards a project improving students' experience, runs until November 14th.
Stuart Lee, Deputy CIO of the University's IT Services, told The Oxford Student: "We are thrilled
to see the successful launch of the First Response App. It is clear that this will provide
important support to many, and it is great to see that this was developed by students as
a result of the IT Innovation Challenges."
Oxford has been struggling with a recent spate of incidences of sexual violence coming to into public attention. After prominent activist Annie Teriba removed herself from student politics earlier this term upon admission of non-consensual sexual acts, a 24-year-old woman was sexually assaulted after leaving the nightclub Plush last weekend. NUS statistics show that although nearly one in five students report suffering sexual harassment in their first week of term, an alarming 61 per cent are unaware of the procedures to report it. The OxStu hopes First Response will prove to be a valuable step towards changing this landscape.

Als Kurort werden Gemeinden oder Gemeindeteile bezeichnet, denen aufgrund ihrer besonderen Eignung für eine medizinische Therapie (zum Beispiel im Rahmen einer Kur) ein entsprechendes Prädikat verliehen wurde. Kurorte, in denen Wasserkuren (Badekur oder Trinkkur) praktiziert werden, bezeichnet man auch als Badeorte. Kurorte an der Küste werden als Seebäder bezeichnet. Aufgrund von Luftgüte können Orte auch als Luftkurorte ausgezeichnet werden.

Prägend für einen Kurort ist das Vorhandensein natürlicher Heilmittel des Bodens, des Wassers oder des Klimas oder die Möglichkeit für eine Physiotherapie, z. B. nach Kneipp.

Kurorte sind weltweit ein bedeutender Wirtschaftsfaktor. Allein in Deutschland erwirtschaften rund 400.000 direkt und indirekt in Kurorten Beschäftigte einen jährlichen Umsatz von über 30 Milliarden Euro (2013).

Geschichte

Heiße Dämpfe, Mineral- und Thermalquellen zu therapeutischen Zwecken wurden schon von den Römern verbreitet genutzt, die Heilbäder anlegten, u. a. Aquae Sulis (heute: Bath), Aquae Arnementiae (heute: Buxton), Aquae Granni (heute: Aachen), Aquae Mattiacorum (heute: Wiesbaden), Aquae (heute: Baden-Baden), Aquae Helveticae (heute: Baden AG), Aquae Cutiliae (heute: Terme di Cotilia).

1581 erschien das balneologische Werk Neuw Wasserschatz des Botanikers und Mediziners Tabernaemontanus, der deshalb als Begründer deutscher Kurorte wie Bad Schwalbach gilt. 1632 veröffentlichte Johann Nopp in Aachen frühe medizinische Baderegeln in seinem Werk Aacher Chronick, das ist eine kurtze, historische Beschreibung aller gedenckwürdiger Antiquitäten und Geschichten, sampt zugefügten Privilegien und Statuten.

Die ersten modernen Bade- oder Kurorte entstanden im 18. Jahrhundert im belgischen Spa und in England für die Ober- und Mittelschicht. Maßgeblichen Einfluss auf die britische Badekultur hatte der Mediziner Richard Russell (1687–1759), der sich intensiv mit der gesundheitsfördernden Wirkung von Meerwasser befasste und einer der Pioniere der Thalassotherapie war. Beispiele aus dieser Zeit sind Bath, Brighton, Buxton und Harrogate.

Ab dem 19. Jahrhundert übertrug sich diese Entwicklung auch auf das europäische Festland. Baden-Baden, Bad Kissingen, die mecklenburgischen Ostseebäder wie Heiligendamm, die böhmischen Kurorte Karlsbad, Kyselka und Marienbad, die nassauischen Kurorte Wiesbaden, Schlangenbad, Bad Schwalbach und Bad Ems (vgl. Bäderstraße Taunus) oder die österreichischen Kurorte Bad Ischl, Meran oder Bad Gastein entwickelten sich bald zum Treffpunkt der gehobenen Gesellschaft. Auch in Russland entstanden im 19. Jahrhundert Kurbäder, berühmtes Beispiel ist Sotschi.

In Japan wurden schon in frühester Zeit die heißen Quellen (Onsen) zum Baden benutzt; nach der Öffnung des Landes im 19. Jahrhundert wurden in einigen Orten mit diesen Quellen nach westlichem Vorbild Kurorte eingerichtet, die heute beliebte Touristenziele sind, etwa Beppu.

Weltbad
Für die im 19. und frühen 20. Jahrhundert international führenden historischen Mode- und Kurbäder bürgerte sich der Begriff "Weltbad" ein. Sie unterscheiden sich von anderen Kurorten vor allem durch folgende Kriterien:

 Vergnügungsangebote: Das gesellschaftliche Leben in einem Weltbad ist mindestens genauso wichtig wie die medizinische Kur, wenn nicht bedeutsamer. Ein Weltbad bot dem Kurgast vielfältige Möglichkeiten, seine Freizeit zu verbringen, so zu Bewegung und Sport, Ausflügen in die Umgebung, Theater und Konzert, Bibliothek und Spiel.
 Gäste: Das Weltbad war attraktiv für Gäste aus allen bewohnten Kontinenten. Besondere Aufmerksamkeit genossen prominente Besucher, die weitere Besucher, vor allem aus Adel und gehobenem Bürgertum, anzogen. Über Standesgrenzen hinweg interagierten unterschiedliche wohlhabende Bevölkerungsgruppen in kosmopolitischer, informeller Atmosphäre, was zu Geschäftsanbahnungen und diplomatischen Verhandlungen genutzt wurde.
 Architektur: Es gibt Kur-, Villen- und Versorgungsviertel, Gärten und Parks mit fließendem Übergang in die umgebende Landschaft.
 Infrastruktur und Versorgung: Ein Weltbad bot trotz der geringen Zahl an Einwohnern den Gästen allen zeitgenössischen Komfort, der damals noch nicht einmal in allen Großstädten üblich war. Dazu gehören guter Verkehrsanschluss, Kommunikationsmöglichkeiten (wie Telegrafie und Telefon auf dem jeweils neuesten Stand), luxuriöses Warenangebot, differenzierte Hotellerie und Gastronomie sowie modernste Technologie beispielsweise hinsichtlich der Energieversorgung oder der Wasserver- und Abwasserentsorgung.

Elf dieser traditionellen Kurbäder sind 2021 unter dem Namen Great Spa Towns of Europe (englisch für: "Bedeutende Kurstädte Europas") in die Liste des UNESCO-Welterbes aufgenommen worden, darunter die deutschen Kurstädte Baden-Baden, Bad Ems und Bad Kissingen.

Arten von Kurorten
In Deutschland werden die folgenden Prädikate vergeben:

 Heilbad (z. B. Seeheilbad, Mineral-Heilbad, Moorheilbad, Peloid-Heilbad, Thermalheilbad)
 Ort mit Heilquellen-Kurbetrieb, Heilstollen-Kurbetrieb, Peloid-Kurbetrieb oder Sole-Kurbetrieb
 Heilklimatischer Kurort
 Kneippkurort (auch Kneipp-Kurort)
 Seebad
 Luftkurort

Erholungsorte, Küstenbadeorte und Fremdenverkehrsgemeinden sind keine Kurorte, werden aber ebenfalls staatlich anerkannt.

Anerkennung
In Deutschland erfolgt die Anerkennung als Kurort (auch "Prädikatisierung") durch das zuständige Ministerium des jeweiligen Bundeslandes. Grundlage ist regelmäßig ein Gesetz ("Kurortegesetz") oder (in Bayern, Niedersachsen, Sachsen-Anhalt und Schleswig-Holstein) eine Verordnung, ggf. ergänzt durch Erlasse. Anerkennungsgrundlagen existieren in allen deutschen Flächenländern. Die Anerkennung kann sich auf eine Gemeinde oder einen Gemeindeteil beziehen.

Alle Flächenländer beziehen die Begriffsbestimmungen – Qualitätsstandards für die Prädikatisierung von Kurorten, Erholungsorten und Heilbrunnen des Deutschen Heilbäderverbandes e. V. und des Deutschen Tourismusverbandes e. V. implizit oder explizit in die Prädikatisierung ein.

In den meisten Bundesländern ist der Status als oder staatlich anerkannter Kurort oder staatlich anerkannter Erholungsort die Voraussetzung für die Erhebung von Kurabgaben (Kurtaxe) und Fremdenverkehrsabgabe.

Kurmittel und Kurortmedizin
Die therapeutischen Maßnahmen bei einer Kur, zum Beispiel Bäder, Massagen oder Inhalationen, werden als Kurmittel bezeichnet. Viele Kurorte, in denen die Kurmittel in Kuranstalten oder auch Kurhotels angeboten werden, unterhalten zudem ein eigenes Kurmittelhaus. Diese Häuser werden bzw. wurden in der Regel durch die Kommunen oder die Länder betrieben, um Kurmittel kontrolliert anzuwenden und einen entsprechenden Standard vor Ort zu etablieren. Ein Beispiel dafür ist das Kurmittelhaus in Bad Reichenhall, das 1928 errichtet wurde und bis heute existiert.

Kurorte sind Kompetenzzentren sowohl im Bereich der ärztlichen als auch der therapeutischen Versorgung. So verfügen die Kurärzte zusätzlich zu der üblichen medizinischen Ausbildung über eingehende Kenntnisse der örtlichen Naturheilverfahren (ortstypische Heilmittel) und haben entsprechende Erfahrung mit diesen Anwendungen. Die Therapeuten sind in der Regel spezialisiert. So lassen sich bei den Kuraufenthalten unter Umständen größere Heilerfolge erzielen als am Wohnort. Zudem ist die kurörtliche Infrastruktur meist so angelegt, dass der Gast viel für seine Gesundheit tun kann.

Natalia Vodianova said that she considers Angelina Jolie a strong woman and wants to meet her. Supermodel admires the courage of the people involved in charity work.
Model Natalia Vodianova has often been compared with the Hollywood star Angelina Jolie. And there is that to compare: the two girls started their career with modeling business, both are mothers of several children and both help the needy, doing charity work. Natalia said that she never met with Angelina, but would love to meet her.
Vodianova also called Jolie, mother of six children, a strong woman, and stressed that the most powerful women are mothers, who are engaged in the education of children with special needs. In addition to the Hollywood actress, Natalia named a number of Russian women who inspire her. Among them were the founders of the charitable funds.

Germany rules the Waves
In the first year of World War One the German forces in the colony of East Africa quickly managed to achieve supremacy over the waters of Lake Tanganyika. They managed this simply by getting there first with the most amount of force. At the start of the war there were only five vessels on the lake capable of being armed. The Germans owned two, Belgium and Great Britain the other three. The German steamer Hedwig von Wissmann was armed with four (or three, sources differ) 37mm Hotchkiss Revolver Cannons. With this armament she damaged the Belgian steamer, and sunk the two British steamers. With this dominance of the lake the Germans were able to launch raids into allied controlled territories.
Hedwig von Wissmann
37mm Hotchkiss Revolver Cannon in Russian service.
With this situation a plan was hatched in April 1915. It was floated by an ex Boer scout, and big game poacher called John Lee. He approached the Admiralty suggesting that two motor launches be dispatched to the lake to beat the German vessels. At this point Admiral Sir Henry Jackson said "It is both the duty and the tradition of the Royal Navy to engage the enemy wherever there is water to float a ship.", and the plan was approved. Two 40ft launches, each armed with a 3 pounder gun and a machine gun were brought. The launches could reach a speed of 19 knots and were powered by a pair of 100 hp engines. The large gun on the foredeck had one slight flaw, the massive recoil meant that they could only be fired more or less directly ahead. If fired to the side the ship's frame wouldn't be able to take the strain and disastrous results would follow.
HMS Mimi or HMS Toutou
These two boats were named Dog and Cat, but the idea of using such names on a Royal Navy warship caused them to be rejected by the Admiralty. So the names HMS Mimi and HMS Toutou were submitted and passed.
In Parisian slang those words translated to "Meow" and "Fido", so the original character of the names was carried through.
The boats and men of the Naval Africa Expedition now had to get to Lake Tanganyika, a landlocked freshwater lake in deepest Africa. The first leg of the journey was on board the SS Llanstephen Castle from London to Cape Town. Then by train to the Belgian village of Fungurume, where the line stopped. From there the two launches would be dragged by two steam tractors through 100 miles of the Mitumba mountains, and dense brush to the village of Sankisia and another rail head. A place you'd not take a tank, let alone a pair of boats! This line only lasted for 15 miles. The next 500 miles were done by floating the boats down narrow streams, in the middle of the dry season. This meant that the streams were almost gone, and the launches had too large a draught. They had to be lashed to barrels to give them enough buoyancy. After this another 175 miles by train followed with the exhausted expedition reaching Lake Tanganyika on October 26th, only to find the situation had changed.
The Germans had received reinforcements in the shape of the Graf von Goetzen, a 1200 ton steamer that had been built in 1913 in Germany, then had been disassembled, packed into 5000 crates and shipped to Da-es-salam. She had then been carried overland through the bush to the lake and had been rebuilt. Her armament consisted of a 105mm gun taken from the sunken Cruiser SMS Königsberg and a spare Hotchkiss Revolving Cannon taken from Hedwig von Wissmann, after she was re-armed with another of SMS Königsbergs gun. That's not all, the Goetzen also carried a 88mm gun as well.
Graf von Goetzen
This made her the best armed and largest ship on the lake. What could Fido and Meow do agaisnt such odds?

If you call one of the flashy car accident lawyers you see in TV, you should be aware that they may not call you back. If you do get ahold of someone, it probably won't be an actual attorney. You will likely be shuffled off to a case manager who is not a lawyer or even a paralegal. Plus, if your case becomes too difficult and they can't easily reach a settlement, they will probably pass you off again to an actual trial lawyer who can take your case to court. By then, of course, years may have passed and you are no better off than you were before.
All of these cause a wide range of injuries, like broken bones, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries and more. Fortunately, you are entitled to seek compensation for your injuries, regardless of the extent of your injuries. The Law Office Of Brad S. McLelland, PC., is here to help, regardless of the extent of your accident.

I invite you to contact my office on Cypress Mill Road two doors down from Grandy's to schedule an appointment. We can discuss the specific accident, your injuries and what you are entitled to recover.

IFT Tourism Research Centre (ITRC) is today announcing 4th quarter as well as full year results for 2013 of the Macao Tourist Satisfaction Index (MTSI). ITRC has been tracking quarterly data on visitor satisfaction in Macao since 2009 and has now accumulated almost 5 years of quarterly visitor satisfaction under the MTSI project, making this initiative the longest and most sustained quarterly tracking study of visitor satisfaction of Macao's tourism and hospitality sectors.
The latest results show overall visitor satisfaction during the fourth quarter of 2013 at 70.4 out of the maximum 100 of the scale. This performance is 1.0 index point higher compared with the last quarter and by 0.2 points year-on-year. It is also slightly above the long-term average score of 70.0. See Figure 1.
Q4 2013 results are based on survey interviews conducted with 1,213 randomly selected visitors between October to December 2013. Interviewees evaluated their satisfaction and experience with ten tourism-related sectors in Macao.
The service performance of most sectors improved in Q4 2013. Respondents' satisfaction with events reached a record high in Q4 2013 (↑5.00%, 77.9). The events sector continues to outperform other sectors and has ranked highest in visitor satisfaction for 7 quarters since Q2 2012.
Tour guides and tour operators as a whole improved considerably in Q4 relative to Q3 (↑6.22%, to 65.7) but continues to generally lag behind all other sectors Q3 and Q4 2013. The significant improvement in satisfaction for tour guides and tour operators could be attributable in part to the new law enacted on 1st October 2013 banning zero-cost tours in Mainland China.
Other sectors exhibiting improved satisfaction ratings in Q4 2013, included restaurants, casinos, retail shops, hotels and local transportation. On the other hand, significant deterioration in performance was found in immigration service (↓7.43%, 67.3). Table 1 shows the quarterly performance of the ten service sectors for 2013. Figure 2 shows the relative performance of each sector across the entire time series.
A total of 5,021 respondents were interviewed throughout 2013 with surveys covering the ten tourism-related sectors. The full year MTSI score slightly improved 0.5 index point in 2013, to 70.3, which is the second highest since 2009. The highest annual TSI for all sectors was 72.1, recorded in 2010. See Table 2.
Based on all data collected thus far, the long-term outlook for the MTSI is that it will remain at or around present levels (see blue dotted line in Figure 1). However, looking at more recently collected data (from 2011 to present) the MTSI has been showing significant improvement, albeit in small but sustained increments (see black dashed line in Figure 1).
Looking at the long-term performance of each sector, moderate but sustained improvement in visitor satisfaction can be attributed to the events, casinos, restaurants, as well as hotel sectors. On the other hand, declining TSIs over the last 4.5 years can be seen in the retail shops, tour guides operators, and heritage sectors. (see Table 2).
The ten tourism- related sectors in the TSI include (a) casinos, (b) events, (c) heritage attractions, (d) hotels, (e) immigration services, (f) non-heritage attractions, (g) restaurants, (h) retail shops, (i) tour guides/ operators, and (j) transportation services. The TSI is an index comprised of the responses to three major questions: overall satisfaction, performance compared with expectations and with ideal performance given TSI model estimates. Results are transformed and reported on a scale ranging from 0- to 100-points. The higher is the score on the index, the higher the level of satisfaction. The overall TSI is the average of all ten sectoral TSIs. For more information, please contact Ms. Virginia Hong or Ms. Wendy Tang of ITRC at itrc@ift.edu.mo.

New Presidential budget allocates money for gun control
The President's $3.9 Trillion federal budget, seen here being distributed Tuesday to Congress, asks for $182 million to prevent 'gun violence'. (Photo credit: AP)
President Obama released his 2015 federal budget request Tuesday that includes a $182 million in funding for new gun control measures.
The $3.9 trillion FY2015 budget asks for increased funding for the ATF as well as the FBI's NICS program, safety research, active shooter training and other expenditures that are being aimed at preventing gun violence.
In a statement from the White House on these requests, the President is tacking them to his 2013 "Now is the Time" program, which was introduced in the wake of the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.
With the budget, the President aims to improve background checks, inspections of Federally-licensed firearms dealers, tracing and ballistics analysis, and to ramp up programs to identify the dangerously mentally ill. It will also offer funds for training state and local law enforcement to prevent and respond to active shooters, and other measures to enhance school security.
This improvements are salted across the entire budget, with several departments and agencies seeing a boost even as spending is being curtailed across government.
The Department of Homeland Security budget (pdf), which is overall seeing a decease from 2014 figures, will get $10 million to provide active shooter training to local law enforcement agencies as well as to increase its "If You See Something, Say Something" program.
The Justice Department budget (pdf), whose overall budget is basically flat from current figures, would get $13 million for the FBI to fund improve its NICS background check system for potential gun buyers as well as more money for active shooter training. The President revamped NICS in 2013 through a series of executive actions.
The ATF would receive an additional $22 million to provide, "continued focus on inspections of federally-licensed firearms dealers, improve tracing and ballistics analysis, and keep guns out of the hands of dangerous criminals and other prohibited persons."
This strikes some in the firearms industry as ill-placed.
"Considering the overwhelmingly high regulatory compliance rate and that less than 1 percent of licensees who have their license revoked, from an industry point of view we would prefer to see the additional $22 million directed toward providing better, more timely customer service to industry members," said Larry G. Keane, National Shooting Sports Foundation senior vice president and general counsel, in a statement to Guns.com about the budget.
Keane continued, "The mounting delays and backlogs in processing legally required forms to operate your business prevents members of our industry from growing their business and creating good paying jobs private sector jobs. "
Under the President's proposed budget, the DOJ would get $75 million for the Comprehensive School Safety Program, $55 million in grants to improve the submission of State criminal and mental health records to the FBI's NICS system, and $15 million to improve police officer safety.
One final request to DOJ's budget would be $2 million to "develop better gun safety mechanisms to prevent the use of firearms by unauthorized users." This could be seen as a push from the White House to join in the call from some Senate Democrats to implement currently immature smart gun technology.
This technology has repeatedly been questioned by gun industry groups such as the NSSF.
"NSSF does not opposed research and development of authorized user recognition technology," Keane said.
He elaborated, "We do question, however, whether even this relatively small proposed expense that is hardly sufficient to fund the research necessary to overcome all the technical challenges to fielding a safe and reliable product, is an appropriate use of the taxpayer's money given the many challenges facing our economy."
Others also took exception to the funding request on gun safety mechanisms.
"The NRA is committed to reducing gun violence by keeping guns out of the hands of criminals and others who would do us harm," NRA Spokesperson Catherine Mortensen told Guns.com.
"That goal is best reached by enforcement of current laws, as opposed to spending taxpayer dollars to promote a $2 million Solyndra-type scheme to get firearms manufacturers to build so-called smart-guns, technology that isn't reliable," said Mortensen.
The President, who rarely mentioned gun control during his 2012 reelection run, has continued to push for increased government oversight in 2013 and in his 2014 State of the Union Address, vowed to reduce gun violence "with or without Congress."
However, the proposed budget still very much needs the support of Congress to pass in its current form.
"After years of fiscal and economic mismanagement, the President has offered perhaps his most irresponsible budget yet," Republican House Speaker John Boehner said in a statement Tuesday. "Spending too much, borrowing too much, and taxing too much, it would hurt our economy and cost jobs."
Capitol Hill defeated gun control measures in 2013 and, other than from a minority of diehard members has shown little taste for the debate this session.

Five Threatening Character Flaws of John McCain

There seems to be some confusion amongst the pundits about who 'won' the first presidential debate on September 26. Winning a debate was once about demonstrating intellectual command over the facts and logic surrounding an issue. Americans are trained to look past the depth of arguments, however, to the shallow ad hominem jabs, and the talking heads reinforced that once again. So, all right. In an attempt to look toward actual, predictable effects of a McCain victory, we key off the debate to five notches in the key of catastrophe being cut and buffed by McCain.
One: McCain is ossified. Almost before he finished his second sentence, John McCain was saying, 'Again…,' as though he had no fresh thoughts beyond his rote response.
Two: McCain is reckless. He tut-tutted Obama about the latter's measured if militaristic statement that if he were president and received actionable intelligence about bin Laden operating at a specific location in the tribal areas of Northwest Pakistan, he would attack al-Qa'ida. "You don't say that out loud," said McCain, as though he would do the same thing, but just make it a surprise to Pakistanis. Obama explained and then noted that it was odd to hear such criticism from someone who sang songs about bombing Iran and discussed the "extinction" of North Korea.
Three: McCain is a spendthrift. He promised that he would be fiscally prudent about everything except "national defense." This is precisely the problem. While Obama referred repeatedly to the ongoing waste of more than $10 billion per month in Iraq, neither discussed the top end of the much more ruinous overall military budget, topping $1 trillion now under Bush and threatening more of the same if not worse under McCain. That has been the problem and McCain promises to drive it deeper.
Four: McCain is militaristic. He is from a military family, has a life and career built entirely around the military, and cannot seem to conceive of another world in which the U.S. is anything but a domineering brutal enforcer of its will around the world. Virtually all his examples he used to illustrate any point revolved around his intimate obsession with the tools and practices of destruction. He is purblind to alternatives and only promises to exacerbate the American image and reality of a military giant jackbooting across the planet.
Five: McCain really represents a profiteering elite, not honest, caring, working Americans. He consistently dismissed Obama's ideas about generating a more robust, fair, and secure economy and health care system as "naïve." He argued for more tax breaks for the rich, for corporations, and for a tax code that would pretend your health care benefits should be counted as income and taxed. Apparently, we are supposed to want to be rich so very badly that we will vote for the one who will run a lottery that will benefit the few and punish the many on the off chance that fate and Republican largesse will somehow grant us membership in that rarified circle of Masters of the Universe. I am reminded of a Woody Allen moment in Annie Hall, when he was a passenger in a car driven by Annie's brother, who was reckless and unpredictable. Like Woody, we might try to excuse ourselves from John McCain's threat to drive the ship of state by noting that we are "due back on planet Earth."
I think McCain's entire philosophy is best summed up by one final quote from the debate.
McCain: "We fixed it. Then we killed it."
Great, John. We'll try to maintain eye contact as we ease out of your room…

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding what you're saying, but given is a topicalizer, aliasing a lexically scoped $_ to a scalar's value which when operates on. The if/elsif construct doesn't create topics. Given this difference in functionality, how is given/when syntactic sugar for if/elsif?

Commentary February 17, 2016 February 17, 2016
Marco Rubio Forms Advisory Group to Help Him Be the Best Bigot He Can Be
Marco Rubio started an anti-LGBT group, but you know, he's not a bigot or anything.
You gotta hand it to Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL). He is willing to ask for help when he thinks he needs it, and recently he must have felt like he just wasn't quite being as bigoted as he possibly could be, because he announced last weekend in a press release that he was forming "Marco Rubio's Marriage & Family Advisory Board," which is Republican for "Evangelical Christians who have a sad over the gays being so uppity and demanding equality under the law."
The press release gives Rubio's reasons for wanting to create a special group, solely dedicated to helping him help gay people…back into the closet.
Marco believes the family is the most important institution in society. He understands that in a vibrant culture of marriage and family everyone benefits, but in a culture where the importance of families is neglected all sorts of problems result. You cannot have a strong nation without strong people, and you cannot have strong people without strong values. Right and wrong. Good and bad. That is learned from your values instilled in you in the family. It is irreplaceable. (source)
Hey, at least the press release wasn't sent in triplicate, Marco.
What I always want to ask people like Rubio is, "What about families with same-sex parents?" Is Marco's vision for the country that he'd send around cops to break up families with gay parents? I mean, that's the thing that conservatives never really talk about — how they'd enforce their arcane bullshit on us.
Is he just going to wave his magic president pen if he wins and declare all same sex marriages illegal? He can't do that. That's a gross overstep of constitutional powers. Even if Congress drafts, passes and gives him legislation to sign that makes gay marriage illegal from that day forward, what happens to the families that are built on gay marriages?
He doesn't care, is the answer.
He doesn't care, his party doesn't care, and their voters don't care. They just have to win the culture war, otherwise God and Jesus will get mad us and kill us all…which they say is going to happen anyway even in the best of scenarios, so I'm not really sure what God's leverage is there, but that's a discussion for another time. Conservatives simply do not care what happens to the families they'd destroy if they made homosexual coupling illegal again. It's about as logical as self-deportation. These are ideas that sound great to people who don't think things all the way through, but they fall apart under any real scrutiny.
They'd have to direct law enforcement resources to finding and breaking up LGBT families and marriages. They'd have to establish legal punishments for getting gay married, unless they think the punishment of being locked out of society is enough…and I'm sure they would not feel that was enough. So what's the point of Marco's group, since they'll never be able to roll back gay marriage, just like they'll never be able to roll back Roe Vs. Wade?
I think it's just money. His group is another place that people can give him — er I mean his group — money.
He has to be seeing it as a good backup to his presidential campaign, Since it's currently going nowhere and fast. A loss in South Carolina and Nevada would signal he's done, and since he's not running for reelection to his Senate seat, maybe his little anti-LGBT group will become his main gig. Then, he can take money that he'd otherwise dump into a campaign coffer, and dump it into helping other bigots get elected and to write bigoted laws.
All I know is this: People who aren't bigots don't start groups specifically to achieve a bigoted result. Bigots do that stuff. Marco Rubio started a bigoted group aimed at a bigoted goal.
So…what does that say about Marco Rubio, do you think?
anti-LGBT, gay marriage, Marco Rubio, Marco Rubio's Marriage & Family Advisory Board, marriage equality, noh8

    14, 13, 4, 8, 13, 12, 10, 3, 13, 12, 14, 9, 13, 16, 11, 4,
    1, 12, 8, 11, 14, 14, 11, 3, 13, 9, 17, 15, 2, 14, 8, 6,
    17), y = c(1, 4, 9, 4, 10, 9, 9, 11, 10, 7, 12, 9, 8, 9,
    4, 7, 14, 7, 9, 8, 5, 10, 10, 8, 10, 3, 13, 3, 8, 5, 12,
    1, 1, 1, 0, 4, 2, 2, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0,
    2, 2, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0)), class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA,
-58L))

I am trying to pivot this data to create a binary variable so that y is the number of successes and n-y is the number of failures.
I've already used the rep() function to get the correct values for L and Group based off the number  n:
litter2 = rep(litter,n)
group2 = rep(group,n)

I tried doing the same using a for loop here:
for (i in 1:58) {
y2[i] = rep(c(1,0),c(df[i,4],(df$n[i]-df$y[i])))
}

however instead of obtaining a vector of 607 values, the sum of n, with the correct number of successes and failures, I get a vector of with the number of rows equal to the number I set in the top of the for loop. In terms of my thought process I assumed that by using the for loop I would do a repetition for each value of n and y. So for instance in the first row, it will give me a set of 1 1s and 9 0s in that order.
Litter2 group2 y2
1        1    1
1        1    0
1        1    0
1        1    0
1        1    0
1        1    0
1        1    0
1        1    0
1        1    0
1        1    0
...

It should then move on to the next rows doing the same calculation until I have a single vector with all calculated values. Obviously I am doing something wrong here to where I am not getting the expected result. does it have to do with what I am equaling the equation to, the y2[i]?

A: tidyr has a great function for this.
df$litter2 <- mapply(rep, df$litter, df$n)
df$group2 <- mapply(rep, df$group, df$n)
df$trial <- mapply(function(n, y){c(rep(1, y), rep(0, n - y))},
                   df$n, df$y)
df <- tidyr::unnest(df, cols = c(litter2, group2, trial))

A: We can use uncount to repeat rows based on n and assign y values comparing with row_number() in each litter.
library(dplyr)

df %>%
  tidyr::uncount(n, .remove = FALSE) %>%
  group_by(litter) %>%
  mutate(y = +(row_number() <= y))

#   litter group     n     y
#    <dbl> <dbl> <dbl> <int>
# 1      1     1    10     1
# 2      1     1    10     0
# 3      1     1    10     0

There's An App For That
President Trump's war on Tik-Tok, the Chinese video-sharing app that's loaded with more spyware than James Bond's latest car, illustrates just how ubiquitous those programs have become in our lives. Apple offers 2.2 million apps in their iStore. Apps help you do everything, from setting an alarm to wake you up in the morning to generating white noise to help you fall asleep at night. In between, you can use your phone to manage your money, order up dinner, buy movie tickets, track your workout, and watch Monday Night Football.
Of course, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. So clever developers have also loaded up the iStore with apps like Harmonica (pop your iPhone in your mouth and blow like Dylan), Sausage Legend (combat to the death, except with sausages), and Yo (text "yo" to anyone on your contact list). Frankly, we're a bit surprised no one from the MacArthur Foundation has called those developers with their genius grants.
Naturally, there are apps to help with taxes. TurboTax and H&R Block let you file the simplest returns right from your phone. The IRS has an app that lets you request records, check your refund, and follow the service on social media. And some apps even help you pay less — which brings us to this week's story about an app called Monaeo.
People who pay a lot of tax often have more than one home. What happens if one is in a high-tax state like New York or California, and the other is someplace with no income tax like Florida or Nevada? If you spend too much time in the high-tax state, you can wind up owing tax there — even if your primary residence, your drivers' license, and your voter registration are all somewhere else.
Enter the world of tax-residency audits. Imagine sitting down with a state tax auditor and scrambling to produce calendar records, plane tickets, and folders full of receipts to prove where you were! You might agree to pay the tax just to end the torture.
That's where Monaeo comes in. For just $79/month, Monaeo automatically logs your phone's physical location and records your city, state, and country. (It won't log street addresses, which should reassure users who sometimes misbehave while they're paying less.) You can share access with your accountant, lawyer, or personal assistant. You can generate reports for years at a time. You can set up alerts to warn you when you're approaching your limit in any particular place. You can even pull in supporting data from EZ-Pass toll records or office building keycard swipes.
State tax audits can have pricey consequences. Actor Tom Hanks lives in LA's chic Pacific Palisades, but also has a pied-a-terre in New York. The National Enquirer reported in 2013 that he walked the plank early on the New York Film Festival premiere of Captain Phillips to avoid wasting one of his 183 allowable "New York days." (If you can't trust the National Enquirer to deliver hard-hitting tax coverage, who can you?) In another case, the New York Division of Tax Appeals ruled that when Match.com's new CEO took his rescue dog with him to Dallas, it meant the move was official.

These lovely cross favors are a beautiful and symbolic gift to give your guests in celebration at a christening, baptism, Holy Communion or perhaps even a baby shower. The plantable cross shape is infused with wildflower seeds and the quote "Faith plants the seed. Love makes it grow." is featured on the front. You can customize both the front and back with a name, date and message and even change the quote if you like!
5 stars all around. From the ordering process to receiving the product Michelle was there to answer all of my questions. We ordered these as favors for my daughter's baptism and everyone commented how great and different they were. Would definitely recommend!
Wow! I was really impressed with the idea of planting a party favor for my daughters baptism. All of our guests really thought it was so clever and was actually a favor they would use! I spoke with a representative named Jess who was super helpful. She allowed me to change the colors and customize the favor as I wasn't having difficulty doing so on the website. Shipping was very quick and everything arrived in great condition. I highly recommend this company to anyone and plan to use them again for invitations and favors. Such a clever and sustainable gift to leave other with.
Only thing I was a bit disappointed about was the size. I envisioned them to be larger, however I should have carefully read the dimensions in the description.
Thank you for making my daughters baptism favors a hit!
