3 dead, 1 injured after Connecticut fatal accident
On Behalf of Jacobs & Dow, LLC | Jan 30, 2014 | Fatal Motor Vehicle Accidents, Firm News
Connecticut drivers take a risk every day when they get behind the wheel of their vehicles and steer onto Connecticut roads. However, most drivers never think that they'll be involved in a fatal accident when they wake up that morning. Unfortunately, a car accident can occur at any time and can often result in fatalities.
A 45-year-old man recently crossed over the center lane when he lost control of his vehicle. His vehicle hit one car, which then struck a box truck. The 45-year-old man and the victims in the car that was struck were taken to a local hospital where they died of injuries sustained from the crash. The driver of the box truck walked away with minor injuries.
The investigation is currently ongoing. There is no exact cause of the accident as of yet. Witnesses have come forward saying that the driver of the vehicle that lost control did slump over the wheel just before crossing the center line. The investigation will likely try to determine whether he had a heart attack or some form of medical condition or if, alternatively, he may have passed out from alcohol or drug use.
The families of the victims of this fatal accident will likely want answers. Once concluded, the investigation can provide them with many of their answers; however, they may also be facing unexpected medical, funeral and other expenses due to this collision. These Connecticut families may wish to turn to the civil legal system to hold the responsible party financially accountable for his actions, if it is deemed that the accident was a result of the driver's negligence, and seek to recover damages for that loss of companionship and other accident-related damages.

Death of Rare Turtle Leaves 3 Remaining in the World
In this April 7, 2016, photo, researchers lift a female Yangtze giant softshell turtle out of the water at a zoo in Suzhou in eastern China's Jiangsu province (Source:Chinatopix via AP)
The only known female member of one of the world's rarest turtle species has died at a zoo in southern China, officials said Sunday.
The animal was one of four Yangtze giant softshell turtles known to be remaining in the world. The Suzhou zoo, where the female turtle lived, also houses a male Yangtze giant softshell turtle. The other two live in Vietnam, but their genders are unknown.
The turtle died Saturday afternoon, the Suzhou city government said in a statement, citing the zoo. It said experts have already used technology to collect the turtle's ovarian tissue for future research.
The state-run People's Daily reported that the turtle was over 90 years old and had undergone a fifth attempt at artificial insemination shortly before she died.
A medical examination found the turtle to be in good health prior to the procedure, the People's Daily said, and the artificial insemination appeared to go smoothly. But the turtle died the following day.
Yangtze giant softshell turtles originated in China, making their homes in the Yangtze River and Taihu Lake, according to the People's Daily. The species is often referred to as the most endangered turtle in the world.
Suzhou authorities said Chinese and foreign experts are investigating the cause of the turtle's death.


I'm going to venture outside the realm of software and contemplate a different philosophical issue: what makes man unique?
It's certainly an issue that has fascinated man for a long time. Not being a philosophy major, I can't rattle off the major minds who have contemplated this issue. "I think, therefore I am" comes to mind, but Descartes wasn't contemplating what made him unique, he was contemplating what he could know was real.
I've heard lots of reasons put forward for what makes man unique, although I don't remember where I heard all of them. Reasoning and logic is an oft cited argument for what makes man man. It used to be that the ability to use tools was given as the uniqueness factor. Language is another popular option.
Yet one by one, these have also been shown to be true in other animals, thereby robbing man of its uniqueness in these factors. I'll grant that language still holds out hope of proving to be a unique factor among humans, but it's only going to do so by arguing in degrees, such as insisting that your dog isn't human because he can't speak French (Non, ce n'est pas vrai! your dog might argue).
No factor by itself leads to humanity's uniqueness. A combination of all factors, however, makes humans unique animals. Reasoning, logic, tools, language, and all the rest of it combined serve to make humanity unique. One trait doesn't always make something special. The combination of ordinary traits in a unique way can and does make something special.
To bring this back to the computing world: computers are nothing more than silicon and plastic and electricity and a myriad of other elements, particles, and pieces combined in a unique way. Software only works because a set of bits was lined up in just the right way. Put it all together one way and you have a Zune. Another way and you find the iPhone. Make a few different choices and you end up with something else. Each is a whole greater than the sum of its parts. You may argue that some are greater than others, but that's beside the point.
You're unique. I'm sure you've been told this since the day you were born (if you're in the Western world, anyway. There are some cultures where one's individuality isn't held up as an ideal). How are you unique? You're unique because of each choice you make, everyday.
A career is the sum of the choices you make everyday.
It's a little step, each day. It's registering a domain name. It's putting up something about you on that domain. It's writing software. It's writing open source software and submitting it to github. It's meeting the killer deadline your boss set. It's telling your boss no. It's remember to enjoy nature for a moment. It's remembering to kiss your wife goodnight.
All of this relates. It relates just as reasoning relates to tools, which relate to language. The relationship might not be clear, but the threads are there. It's taking it one day at a time to make yourself ever more unique. You need not worry about doing that one thing that will make you unique. There isn't one thing that makes you unique, just like there isn't one think that makes man or makes the iPhone unique. It's the combination that makes everything unique.
Man didn't appear in a day: he evolved over time. The iPhone didn't appear out of Steve Job's head: it was designed over time. So to, your uniqueness is crafted over time. Start working today and tomorrow you'll find yourself being singled out. You're unique now, but what future combination of your work will make others go wow?

Winter Bowl benefits Military Working Dog Tribute
NEILLSVILLE — More than $10,000 was raised for the Military Working Dog Tribute during The Highground's second annual Winter Bowl. The fundraiser, held Jan. 25 at Rose Bowl Lanes in Marshfield, benefited the construction of the tribute which will honor the service of the nation's military working dogs and handlers past and present.
The lanes were full of tribute supporters bowling and trying for their chance to win some of the more than $3,500 worth of donated raffle items. Skip Sparks, a Vietnam veteran and Highground volunteer, won the Grand Prize — a 58-inch Sanyo LED TV. This prize was donated by Hardees of Colby, Neillsville and Medford. Dave Droste, owner of these Hardee's franchises, served as the emcee, keeping everyone informed and creating a very exciting event.
Marshfield Police Officer Scott Schlei and his police working dog, Arco, were at the Winter Bowl. Arco, a Dutch Shepherd, is both highly skilled at narcotics detection and other aspects of his work on the police force while remaining a very social dog, allowing everyone to pet, hug and take photos with him.
The Joe Altmann Foundation presented a check for $300 for the Military Working Dog Tribute. Staff Sergeant Joe Altmann, a Marshfield native, served two tours of duty in Iraq before being deployed to Afghanistan in April 2011. He was killed in action on Dec. 25, 2011, in Kunar Province, Afghanistan.
In addition to the exciting raffles and bowling, displays were present with information on military working dogs and the Military Working Dog Tribute. When completed, the tribute will be a permanent part of The Highground Veterans Memorial Park near Neillsville.
All proceeds from the event will be put towards the Wisconsin Military Working Dog Tribute due to the fantastic support of the event sponsors.
More photos of the 2015 Winter Bowl can be found on The Highground's Facebook page — TheHighgroundVeteransMemorial.

Amount raises $99M at a $1B+ valuation to help banks better compete with fintechs
Amount, a company that provides technology to banks and financial institutions, has raised $99 million in a Series D funding round at a valuation of just over $1 billion.
WestCap, a growth equity firm founded by ex-Airbnb and Blackstone CFO Laurence Tosi, led the round. Hanaco Ventures, Goldman Sachs, Invus Opportunities and Barclays Principal Investments also participated.
Notably, the investment comes just over five months after Amount raised $86 million in a Series C round led by Goldman Sachs Growth at a valuation of $686 million. (The original raise was $81 million, but Barclays Principal Investments invested $5 million as part of a second close of the Series C round). And that round came just three months after the Chicago-based startup quietly raised $58 million in a Series B round in March. The latest funding brings Amount's total capital raised to $243 million since it spun off from Avant — an online lender that has raised over $600 million in equity — in January of 2020.

10 Favorite Destinations of Luxury Travelers - Where Do the Rich and Famous Spend Their Vacations?
When vacation time comes around, you'll find many tycoons, celebrities, and even nobles flocking to these hotspots.
The wealthy have been known to be creatures of habit. This applies to their travel destinations as much as where they shop or dine. Here are some of their favorite haunts.
The Lure: Billionaires, celebrities, designers, and tycoons alike all make their way to this mountain resort during the holidays. It's where you can easily spot Valentino Garavani (yes, that Valentino) and Madonna hitting the slopes. It's also famous for the boarding school Institut Le Rosey, where blue bloods like Prince Rainier III of Monaco, Aga Khan IV, and some of the Getty descendants have studied at.
The Old World hotel draws in A-listers for the promise of privacy. For over 60 years, Gstaad Palace has been a safe haven for the likes of Princess Diana, Elizabeth Taylor, and Michael Jackson. The next generation of high-profile and high-net-worth individuals are also coming to unwind and unplug.
The Lure: A charming French town on the Côte D'Azur, Antibes is sandwiched between two popular neighbors: Nice and Cannes. The hometown of Pablo Picasso draws in the fabulous jet set crowd because of its accessible port, which is often filled with a collection of luxury yachts and a few fishing boats. One can easily hop on a yacht and take a leisurely tour of the French Riviera. It also served as a muse for artists like Claude Monet, writers like Victor Hugo and poets like Jules Verne, who have a history of visiting the small town.
Once the residence of F. Scott Fitzgerald and his wife, Zelda, this converted hotel was the first to be positioned along the French Riviera. It's retained its original Art Deco features and is also home to Michelin-starred restaurant La Passagere.
The Lure: The Spanish Royal Family regularly takes time to get away to visit Majorca, named one of the best islands in Europe. For the gourmand, Majorca is home to many award-winning restaurants such as Zaranda at the Castell son Claret Hotel and the Es Raco d'es Teix in the popular Deià.
What was once an artists' village in the 20th century, the rustic Belmond La Residencia now houses over 750 artworks by local painters. It was later converted into a hotel and purchased by Richard Branson in 1987, before he sold it to Orient-Express Hotels. It's also home to an award-winning spa, a sculpture garden, and 73 rooms and suites.
The Lure: This Alpine destination caters almost exclusively to the moneyed, with around two-thirds of the accommodations being four- to five-star hotels. St. Moritz is the Swiss ski resort that put Switzerland on the map. Crowds also flock to the alps once a year to watch the St. Moritz Snow Polo World Cup take place on a frozen lake, which is as luxurious as a sporting event can get.
Badrutt's Palace Hotel has been the hottest place to be in St. Moritz since 1896. It's hosted some of the grandest celebrations in history. The historic structure itself is a gem—from artifacts like Raphael's Madonna to modern fixtures such as an underground spa.
The Lure: Just a train ride away from the city, the Hamptons has been the premier vacation spot for those who want a quick escape.
The 150-year-old hotel thinks of itself as "more house than hotel," and has only 19 rooms and cottages. The Greek Revival property has been the go-to at East Hamptons for ages, serving generation after generation with its now Swedish design.
The Lure: There are two sides to Saint Tropez: the quiet provincial village, similar to any you would find in the Old World, associated with greats like Paul Signac and Henri Matisse; and the raucous scenery, commonly associated with the rich and famous who want to be seen, more than anything else. Glamour and culture both coexist within this holiday destination on the French Riviera.
The Byblos has all the glitzy milestones in its timeline to support its claim to fame. It hosted Mick Jagger's wedding to model Bianca Perez just five years after its opening, it earned the coveted 5th star in 2009, and it has a storied history with Alain Ducasse.
The Lure: Think of the Lyford Cay as one of the world's most exclusive membership clubs. This private community, which counts Henry Ford II, the Bacardis, and Sean Connery among its members, has been an escape for its high-net-worth members.
Granted you'll have to be a member or have a member's letter of endorsement, once you're in the Lyford Cay, you can expect all the pomp of luxury vacation.
The Lure: Unlike other ski towns in the area, Aspen is in a secluded world of its own, which made it even more popular in the past. For that matter, many of the richest people in America either own property in Colorado or check into one of the many five-star hotels because of its accessibility, by land or by air. A weekend of grandeur in Aspen can easily amount to a million dollars, while the average cost of a home is a little less than $3 million.
The Little Neil is the premier ski-in, ski-out accommodation in Aspen, given that it stands erected right next to the Aspen Mountain. It, too, is just across the city. Everything about "The Nell," as its fondly called, is 5-star, from its cuisine to its lodgings.
Eden Rock was established by the very same man, Remy de Haenan, to first set foot on St. Barth. Being the first, it was also associated to be the very best. When checking out, guests are already making their reservations for the next year.
The Lure: This secluded lake attracts the well-to-do once March rolls along. With majestic mountain views and a scenic body of water surrounding it, Lake Como played a crucial role after World War II, as it served as a place of respite for world leaders like Winston Churchill and Benito Mussolini. Now a luxury destination endorsed by socialites and celebrities alike, Lake Como has retained its dreamy status, continuing a heritage of glamorous villas and hotels.
Just as storied at the lake, the Grand Hotel Serbelloni has been under the Bucher family's ownership for just over a century. Apart from a world of amenities such as the 9,000-square foot fitness area, the Turkish bath, and the tennis court, the hotel is best known for the outdoor pool that faces the lake.

Angel Tales
YMMV • Radar • Quotes • (
Angel Tales is an Anime about Gorō Mutsumi, a young guy without much luck. Then one day a fortune teller enchants his cell phone and causes 12 of his deceased former pets/animals he encountered in childhood to appear in his room in the form of girls between the ages of 7 and 18, all calling him "master" and competing for his affections. That's...about it, really. It's worth a watch if you're into that sort of thing.
In the second season, the master-maid element is toned down, and becomes much more like a family drama. The girls try to be a normal (at least as normal as possible given the circumstances) and magic is used much less. Also the characters receive a greater amount of character development.
This series provides examples of:
Animal Motifs (occasionally)
Beach Episode
Catgirl: And every other -girl imaginable.
Hey, It's That Voice!: Wendee Lee
Humans Are Bastards: Akane's mother thinks so, for good reason: she was killed by them. Akane doesn't agree, even though she also was.
Meganekko: Tamami (the cat), in the first season anyway.
No Periods, Period: Averted.
Petting Zoo People
Spin-Off: The Boys Love series Saint Beast was a spinoff, but with only the Saint Beast's and Goddess common characters.
True Companions: More of this than a traditional harem, though there's still enough romantic tension to go around.
Well-Intentioned Extremist: The Saint Beasts.

Q: How does mysql replication work? From what I've been able to find in the web, mysql stores statements that alter data in the bin log, which is then read by the slave. What remains unclear is what happens to those statements next? Are they replayed as if they happenned on the slave server?
For example, say there is a query with current time in the conditional, like "UPDATE something SET updatedat = NOW()", and due to the replication delay, the query ends at the slave a couple of seconds later. Will the values in the table be different?
Or if there is master-master replication, at time 1000 the following query happens on server 1:
UPDATE t SET data = 'old', updatedat = 1000 WHERE updatedat < 1000

At time 1001 on server 2 the following query happens:
UPDATE t SET data = 'new', updatedat = 1001 WHERE updatedat < 1001

Then server 2 fetches the replication log from server 1, the value on the server 2 will be "old"? If so, is there a way to avoid it?

A:
For example, say there is a query with current time in the conditional, like "UPDATE something SET updatedat = NOW()", and due to the replication delay, the query ends at the slave a couple of seconds later. Will the values in the table be different?

No. The replication duplicates the row, which means that the time will be the same

Evergreen to deciduous, 1V2 to 2 ft. (45 to 90 cm). Zones 6 to 9.
description: The rhizome is erect. Dark burgundy colored, grooved stipes have ebony scales on swollen bases and are one-third or more of the frond length. Matte green, triangular blades suffused with maroon are bipinnate with 9 to 15 pairs of pinnae. It is significant that the pinnae are not stalked. The pinnules are lobed and have a thumblike auricle, the ear ofthe common name, adjacent to the rachis on the upper interior side. Sori and indusia on the veins are half-moon-shaped and arranged in an Asplenium-like herringbone pattern.
range and habitat: This is a colorful fern of woodlands in Japan, Korea, and China.
Athyrium 'Ghost' with its predominantly gray foliage.
Athyrium 'Branford Beauty' in the gardens at Cornell Plantations.
plantings in the springtime giving the root system an opportunity to expand before the onslaught of whatever hardships winter may (or may not) present. Elsewhere it can be planted in spring or fall without concern. New growth with radiant lime and burgundy fronds suggestive of blended raspberry and lime sherbet swirls is early in the Pacific Northwest, but late in the eastern United States. As the fronds age, the lime softens to a more subdued gray-green patina, gray being a distinguishing feature of maturity. In short, it is an excellent species for adding refreshing color to shaded woodlands with protection from direct sunlight. I was surprised when I first read the Flora of Japan (Iwatsuki et al. 1995) to find it described as evergreen. While I doubt that their "evergreeness" extends beyond light frost zones, my plants have supported the descriptive text by duly holding their fronds throughout the mild winters of 2004 and 2005. Even in colder climates, this species maintains its fronds well into cold weather. Athyrium otophorum is one of the numerous ornamentals that have been introduced to the U.S. trade by Judith Jones of Fancy Fronds Nursery.
Var. okanum with stalked pinnae is more commonly available than the type.

We have extensive applied research experience in coating materials and coatings, raw paint materials such as pigments and fillers, their structure-property relationships, paint-specific polymer chemistry and physics as well as painting technology and the technology of associated substrate materials. We work in close collaboration with industrial partners from the chemical industry, paint industry and paint-processing industries as well as from the fields of systems engineering and application and testing technologies. This gives us the necessary insight into practical applications to implement our research results promptly and cost-effectively.
We gain inspiration for new research projects from current problems faced by our customers, new material developments in the raw materials industry, new product and process requirements in surface technology as well as new aspects related to environmental protection and work safety. We have in-depth knowledge of painting technology and the properties of material surfaces. We use this to apply the "right chemistry" for pre-treatment and coating materials, to determine the best application and layer formation processes and conduct tests and simulations on the performance of coatings: We also help you implement them in your factory. Our expertise also encompasses the analysis of the root causes of coating errors and defects along the entire paint and surface technology process chain, the elaboration of expert reports and the development of solutions to rectify them.
We implement new coating concepts and raw materials to improve the performance of coatings. Produced from model formulations, we conduct time-lapse tests to assess the capabilities of coating systems with regard to specific requirements, such as the ability to resist corrosion, weathering, or chemicals.
The high demands placed on coatings also mean that testing methods in all phases of painting technology are faced with major challenges. We implement an extensive range of techniques for testing raw paint materials, paints, coating materials, coatings and substrate surfaces. We also have excellently-equipped as well as accredited test laboratories.


The Milled Tour Wedge delivers the legendary feel golfers covet. Although often described as soft, the renowned Miura forging process delivers a solid and consistent strike. Like all Miura forgings, the grain structure within the head is the tightest in the industry. The wedge does not pursue distance like other clubs, but rather the precision and control necessary for scoring. The head shape of the wedge confidently aligns the golfer allowing for pinpoint accuracy.
The Tour Wedge is the first ever offering from Miura using CNC milling for the face and grooves, allowing for ultimate control of both backspin and sidespin. The Miura Tour wedge boasts a new "hollow back shape" which has allowed for a higher COG.
The head design of the Tour Wedge will match with any of Miura's iron models. Lofts are available 48º-60º in 2 degree increments to design the perfect set to match your set configuration.

The flexible host framework of a perfluorinated mononuclear copper complex, [Cu(L1)2] (1, HL1=3-hydroxy-1,3-bis(pentafluorophenyl)-2-propen-1-one), with a CuO4 core reversibly encapsulated several organic guest molecules through electrostatic interactions in its crystals. Hence, the corresponding dinuclear complex, [Cu2(L2)2] (2, H2L2=1,5-dihydroxy-1,5-bis(pentafluorophenyl)-1,4-pentadien-3-one), was prepared to enhance guest recognition and the ability to separate molecular mixtures. Complex 2 comprises a Cu2O6 core and four pentafluorophenyl groups. In crystal 2, cavities are formed on the axial sites of the metal core that are surrounded by pentafluorophenyl groups. The crystal of 2 encapsulates various guest molecules, that is, benzene (3), toluene (4), xylene (5), mesitylene (6), durene (7), and anisole (8). X-ray crystallographic and thermogravimetric (TG) studies show that three guest molecules are present in the crystal cavities. The number of guest molecules found in complex 2 was higher than that in complex 1, for example, (2)3⋅(6)10>1⋅(6)2, (2)2⋅(7)7>1⋅7, or 2⋅(8)3>1⋅(8)2. Naphthalene (9), was encapsulated in 2 to give 2⋅(9)3, but not in 1. In the crystal of complex 2, heteromolecular guest encapsulation was confirmed, designated as 2⋅(3)2⋅9. TG analysis indicates that the thermal stability of the guest-included crystals of 2 is higher than that of 1.

As Christians, we are on a journey, learning how to die to ourselves, our flesh, the things that separate us from God. It's not always talked about, but there it is. We are learning how to die. In other words, we aren't here to please ourselves, we aren't here to follow people, we aren't here to impress others with our spiritual gifts, we are only here to follow Jesus. But Lord knows, we need Jesus to follow Jesus and prayer helps.
A year ago, I came across the "Prayer of St. Francis of Assisi" while I was in Italy. I was attending a creative school where we learned how to use the arts for missions, and during one of our assignments we were given this prayer and asked to re-create it using music, art, and dance (scroll down to see the prayer).
Although, I liked the idea of re-wording it for the people of today, this assignment was a struggle for me because I felt his original words were perfect enough. I didn't want to ruin it by trying to make it my own. Yet, as I sat down at my piano, staring at his words, it dawned on me that this man's prayer to live a selfless life is the same prayer within my heart. For the same Jesus who lived in him then, lives in me now and today.
In that moment, a song came and it was my own prayer, but it was also the desire of God for my life, that I be selfless.
Princesses, God desires that we take up our cross and follow Him (Luke 9:23), that we die to our desires (Galatians 5:24), that like a teeter-totter at a playground, as He becomes greater in our lives, we become less (Mark 8:35).
For we are here not for ourselves, but for Him and for His purpose. We are here to tell others of our glorious Jesus and how He's transformed us, what He has delivered us from, how real He is, how much He loves us, and most important of all, we are here to know God and to love Him.
There are now four prayers I love to pray! It's amazing to believe so many of our brothers and sisters, hundreds of years ago, prayed the very words then within our hearts today. Christ was with them then and He is with us now! To live for Christ is to die to ourselves.
I am not my own for I am yours.
Princesses, my prayer is that we always seek Him and seek to know Him, and in our journey, desire to die to the things that would keep us from Him and from His purpose for us. We are His Princesses, beloved daughters whom He loves. May nothing distract us or turn us from His gaze, and may He teach us how to die so we may live. And thank you Lord, for these amazing people who you have given these prayers, which we can hold onto as our own. May we speak these words with conviction and sincerity, truly longing to be used by you in whatever way you desire. We love you, Jesus!! Amen.


This is my 3 generations of love. In the middle is Tariq's paternal grandpa.
He is 85 years old Alhamdulillah. Despite his old age, wobbly legs and failing eyesight, he will follow us and make this trip to visit his sister's and brother's home every Raya.
One of Malaysian's best culture is to travel far and wide just so we can visit our relatives and friends. And I absolutely love this culture.
And the visiting is only one aspect to earn Allah's Love and Reward. Equally precious to me is the life lessons that we are able to impart to Tariq throughout the journey.
As all children is the case of 'we see and we follow', Tariq followed his Baba's example and would walk with his grandpa, holding his grandpa's fragile hands back and forth from our car to the home we are visiting.
And I pray one day, Tariq and his son will walk us too if we ever reach that age and state, InshaAllah.

It has recently come to light that those who were victims of football child abuse were paid to keep quiet about what had happened to them by former coaches. This allegation came a couple of days after Chelsea Football Club issued an apology to their former player.
According to sources, the said Football Player was paid £50,000 to keep quiet about discussing the football sexual abuse he suffered. Amongst some of the victims who have gone public such as Andy Woodward, Steve Walters and Chris Unsworth, who say they were sexually abused during their time at Crewe Alexandra Football Club. They recently expressed in an interview that they have not had even the slightest of apologies from the football club they were at and they find this very hurtful. Steve Walters has appealed for more high profile football players to raise awareness of the scandal by pledging their support.
There number of people coming forward who were victims of the football child abuse scandal is increasing every day. Seemingly, there are people who are still in the game today whom allegations have been brought against.
If you or someone you know has been affected by football child abuse, contact R.James Hutcheon Solicitors to have a confidential chat with one of our legal experts who act on a No Win, No Fee basis.
If you have suffered sexual abuse in football compensation can be obtained in addition to professional help and support.

From our years of experience talking to clients that are looking to enter this realm, we have developed specific patterns and formulas of practice that, if not taken into consideration properly, can either make or break this new venture.
The simple concept of commerce.
For hundreds of years' man has been TRADING simple services or goods for other services or goods that he or she requires or DEMANDS. As populations grew, so did the variety of offerings for these services or goods and in turn, giving birth to the term COMPETITION. Further down the line mankind got real smart about things and developed what we now know as currency, which opened the flood gates to even further expand on this DEMAND and COMPETITION.
Fast forward a bit more to where mankind gave birth to the internet and it didn't take us long to realize that the World Wide Web could be used to put an individual or business entity onto the World Wide Stage.
So considering all these things, what do we know about what makes or breaks Traders looking to enter the world of e-commerce.
Don't fool yourself… Price has and always will play a key role on whether or not someone comes to your online shop and makes that purchase or not. With COMPETITION being more aggressive now than ever due to the fact that you have to deal with powers sometimes much bigger than ourselves, most of the time there will always be someone with greater buying power or someone that can get something made for cheaper. So look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself honestly "How competitive is my market and how competitive am I on price on my product or on my service offering". In other wards do you have any kind of competitive edge to justify you pursuing this endeavor and is price generally the first tick on your customer's checklist?
As with most looking to enter this market, chances are that you'll be looking at selling mainstream products that are already available with much larger trading entities. In saying that – chances are that they will probably be trading much cheaper to you. So what makes you stand out from the rest?
Is it your exceptional service delivery, your one on one relationship skills or just being able to truly understand your customers' demands and sell them something that they really need? If this is you, I'd start putting in some serious consideration into what's your competitive edge.
3. Capital… Do you have it?
Now if you're Peggy's Bakery looking to sell homemade cupcakes to customers in your area, you have no desire to rank in the world of search engines and probably are not looking to transact online, then this option probably is for you.
But if you looking to take this shop venture quite seriously then you should look at this project very much in the same light as forking out the same amount of capital to what it would costs you to put up a retail outlet. Remember one thing – if done correctly, online traffic ALWAYS outshines retail traffic. Also keep in mind that a large percentage of your capital will go into marketing your online store in both an 'organic' and 'paid ads' nature. In another article I'll be digging deeper into the world of platforms available and strategies used for building these online shops.
If you feel that you do have something truly unique and indeed do tick off these 3 vital points I have mentioned, then get in touch with us and let's get the ball rolling.


I look forward to Christmas every year. For me Christmas is about being at home in Doncaster, getting together with family and friends, decorating the perfect tree, and watching Christmas movies.
This year, I found the perfect tree at the green grocers in Tickhill, and started putting up the decorations straight away.
Thanks to everyone who has invited me to your community event this year, welcomed me to your school, or let me know about something good – or not so good – that is happening in your parish or village.
I particularly want to thank everyone who volunteers in our community. My job brings me into contact with many people who run community centres and libraries, support schools, community activities, sports teams, local churches, parish councils, neighbourhood watch and community projects – just about everything we need. They make things happen, fill our calendar with events to be part of, and make our communities stronger.
In every community there are those who make everything happen, and make a real difference. This Christmas, I'd like to us to think of all of those people who make our communities what they are.
And let's not forget those who don't have many people to see them this Christmas. Christmas is about being together, not alone.
I know Christmas is finally here when the local Methodist church choir come knocking on Christmas eve, as they sing carols around the village.

Wanna see the real life filming location used for The Pier and Boardwalk in the movie?
At the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, the "Looff Carousel" used in the movie was made in 1911 and the "Giant Dipper Roller Coaster" was built in 1924.
Much of the Lost boys was shot on location in and around the northern California coastal community of Santa Cruz, the movie crew used such locations as Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. Lighthouse Point and West Cliff Drive.
The comic book store was originally at 707 Lower Pacific Avenue, and was called Atlantis Fantasyworld. The wall in front of the store was fake, to make it look like it was part of the boardwalk. The store has since moved, under the same name.
The exact location for the resturant is Olitas Cantina and Grill, 49-B Municiple Wharf, and the video store is now the Santa Cruz Bay Company, 17-D Municiple Wharf. Both have the view of the boardwalk.
Ian Burris said "Max's house was filmed in Santa Cruz. It is in Rio off of Beach Drive. Me and my friends have checked it out, it is a cool house and I dont think anybody currently lives there. Actually, my band is called the Lost Boys after the movie." But a recent Rewind excursion failed to find this place -- can anyone please help?
If you know of a good link for The Lost Boys locations, please let us know.


In this and next posts, we are going to look at kanji that have a bushu amekanmuri (雨). It means "rain" and also pertains to atmospheric phenomena.
For the kanji 雨, the oracle bone style writing, (a) in brown, consisted of two parts– The top was "cloud" or "sky," and the bottom was "rain drops." Together water droplets coming down from the clouds or sky meant "rain." In bronze ware style (b) and (c), in green, two water droplets were placed inside each of the two halves with a vertical line in the center. The ten style writing, (e) in red, took the bronze ware style, which became the kanji 雨 (f). Setsumon also gave (d) as its earlier style, which does not have a dividing vertical line in the middle.
The kun-yomi 雨 /a'me/ means "rain," and /ama-/ is in 雨具 ("raingear" /ama'gu/), 雨水 ("rainwater" /ama'mizu/) and 雨垂れ ("raindrops" /amadare/). The on-yomi /u/ is in 雨天 ("rainy weather" /u'ten/) and 降雨量 ("amount of rainfall" /koou'ryoo/). There are a few traditional usages that are neither kun-yomi nor on-yomi — 春雨 ("fine rain in spring" /harusame/), 時雨 ("late-autumn or early winter shower; occasional shower" / shigure/), 五月雨 ("early summer rain" /samidare/) and 梅雨 ("rainy season rain" /ba'iu/ or /tsuyu/).
When the sun 日 is placed on top of 雲, it makes up another Joyo kanji 曇. The sun blocked by clouds means "cloudy." The kun-yomi 曇り /kumori'/ means "cloudy; cloudy sky," and is in 曇る ("to become cloudy; become dim" /kumo'ru/), 曇りがち ("tending to be cloudy; broken clouds" /kumorigachi/). The on-yomi /do'n/ is in 曇天 ("cloudy sky" /donten/).
The kun-yomi 雪 /yuki'/ means "snow," and is in 大雪 ("blizzard; big snowfall" /ooyuki/), and 雪かき ("snow shoveling; snow removal" /yukika'ki/). The on-yomi /se'tsu/ is in 新雪 ("new snow" /shinsetsu/) and 残雪 ("lingering snow on the ground" /zansetsu/).
The kanji 霰 and 雹– Other kanji regarding something that falls from the sky include 霰 ("small-sized hail" /arare/) and 雹 ("hail" /hyo'o/). Technically hail under 5 mm is 霰, but who is measuring? /Arare/ falling is something we can enjoy looking at, but if it is /hyo'o/ we probably start to worry about possible damage. Neither kanji is a joyo kanji, but you do see them used, possibly with phonetic katakana accompanying them.
The bushu amekanmuri pertains not only to something that falls from the sky but also to something atmospheric. Moisture in the air creates all kinds of phenomena. Among other Joyo kanji, in 霧, 霜 and 露 the bottom components are all used phonetically. We look at those kanji now.
When moisture becomes frozen on the surface or in the ground, it becomes frost. The ten style of the kanji 霜 had a bushu amekanmuri "atmospheric phenomenon" and the bottom 相 was used phonetically for /so'o/. It meant "frost." The Kadokawa dictionary and Kanjigen explained that 相 "to face each other" gave the meaning of moisture in the ground forming columns, as in 霜柱 ("frost column" /shimoba'shira/).
The kun-yomi 霜 /shimo/ means "frost," and is in 霜降り肉 ("marbled meat" /shimohuri'niku/), 霜取り ("defrosting in freezer" /shimotori/). The on-yomi /so'o/ is in 星霜 ("years" /seesoo/), which is only used in literary phrases, such as 十年の星霜を経て ("after long ten years").
The kun-yomi 霧 /kiri/ means "fog; mist," and is in 霧吹き ("spray; sprayer" /kirihu'ki/). /-Gi'ri/ is in 夜霧 ("night fog" /yo'giri/). The on-yomi /mu/ is in an expression 五里霧中 ("to be lost in a fog; be at sea" /go'ri muchuu/).
The kun-yomi 露 ("dew" /tsu'yu/) is in 夜露 ("night dew" /yo'tsuyu/) and 雨露 ("rain and dew; outside weather" /a'metsuyu/), which is used in phrases such as 雨露にさらされる ("to be exposed to the elements; to be open to the wet" /ametsuyu-ni sarasareru/). The on-yomi /ro/ is in 露見する ("to come to light" /roken-suru/), 露出 ("exposure" /roshutsu/) and 暴露する ("to reveal or expose a secret intentionally" /ba'kuro-suru/).

When the issue of "Clay Bertrand" comes up, many people express opinions, but few people present actual evidence. Let's try to get back to the facts, starting with the very first recorded mention of the name "Clay Bertrand."
He [Dean Andrews] recalled another individual whose name he believes to be Clay Bertrand accompanied Oswald to Andrews' office. He remembers this person as a youthful appearing person age 22-23, 5'7", 160 pounds, blonde hair and crew cut. Andrews stated that although he has associated the name Clay Bertrand in his mind with the individual described who appeared at Andrews' office with Oswald, he cannot be sure this individual was in fact named Clay Bertrand.
BTW, anyone know the name of the FBI agent recording this information?
Hint: He sure wasn't in Dallas with Beverly Oliver.

10th May - FIRST WINNER FOR FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH
The Bearstone Stud-homebred Three Coins became the first winner for her exciting first crop sire when defying inexperience and some previously raced oppenents to run out the winner of a 5 furlongs novice race at Ripon.
The daughter of the Firebreak mare Bereka, a half-sister to Group 1 winner and champion juvenile Hearts Of Fire, broke smartly and was always up with the pace, keeping on well in the final furlong to get the better of two previously placed runners.
This was a very encouraging debut by the Richard Fahey-trained filly who looks certain to go on to better things.
8th February - TOP 2YO TRAINERS COMMENTS ON FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH'S 2YO'S
"The 2017 Fountain of Youth ex Mortitia is a filly with a lot of class and scope. I trained her mother to win at Goodwood as a two year old and I think this filly is better. I'm very much looking forward to running her this summer." Brian Meehan
"I have two Fountain of Youth colts and I could not be more happy with them at this stage. They are very forward going and precocious and I am looking forward to running them." Karl Burke
"I'm very happy with my colt. He is sharp and forward going, everyone who's ridden him loves him and he'll be out nice and early." Johnny Murtagh
"I have a few 2 year olds by him that are very sharp and willing to do everything asked of them. They will be on the track early on." Bryan Smart
"I have a colt and a filly. They have good minds, are great movers and they look precocious." Kevin Ryan
"I have several by him. I liked them at the sales as they looked sharp. They are cantering nicely upsides. I like the look of what I've got and they will be early sorts." Tim Easterby
"I have a very nice colt who I like a lot. He should be an early type. He's very professional with a great outlook and I'll certainly be looking out for more of the sire's progeny at the sales." Clive Cox
"I particularly liked his progeny I saw at the sales. They looked strong and athletic types and are proving just that in training. They will be on the track early in the season as they seem to have speed and scope. I'm very happy with them." Richard Fahey
"Both of ours are strong and precocious and showing the right signs at this early stage. I could not be happier with them." Tom Clover
"I have two of them and am very happy with both. They are very forward going and mentally sound."
"The filly I train has a good temperament, moves well and is very willing. She has a good attitude and is going well." Michael Dods
"Unfortunately, I only have two of his two-year-olds. I wish I had more. We haven't started any real fast work yet but the first impressions from these two colts couldn't be better." Mark Johnston

15th October - PRESS RELEASE - WASHINGTON DC TO RETIRE TO BEARSTONE STUD IN 2019
Bearstone Stud announces that Washington DC, the Group-winning sprinter by Zoffany, will retire to Bearstone Stud in 2019.
Trained by Aidan O'Brien, Washington DC won the Windsor Castle Stakes at Royal Ascot in 2015 before finishing runner-up to European Champion 2yo Air Force Blue in the Group 1 Phoenix Stakes at The Curragh.
The following season, he recorded two further victories at stakes-level and went close in two Group 1 races. At Royal Ascot, he finished third to Quiet Reflection in the Commonwealth Cup and in October second to Marsha in the Prix de l'Abbaye at Chantilly, beating Mecca's Angel, Profitable and Ardad. Earlier that season, he had finished a neck second to Take Cover in the Group 2 King George Stakes at Goodwood with Marsha, Easton Angel and Pearl Secret further back.
As a four-year-old, he won the Group 3 Phoenix Sprint Stakes at The Curragh, beating Cougar Mountain, Gordon Lord Byron, Moviesta and Kimberella and was beaten a head by Marsha in the Group 3 Palace House Stakes at Newmarket, ahead of Goldream, Kachy and Alpha Delphini.
This season, he finished a head behind Battaash in the Group 2 Temple Stakes at Haydock, ahead of Mabs Cross and Havana Grey. He retires with career earnings of £513,622.
Washington DC is from the first crop of Zoffany, the Champion First Crop Sire in 2015. His dam, the Shinko Forest mare How's She Cuttin', was a seven-time winner over five furlongs and he comes from the family of champion racehorse and successful sire Grand Lodge.
Terry Holdcroft, owner of Bearstone Stud, commented: "I've followed his career since he won at Royal Ascot as a two-year-old and everyone at Bearstone is thrilled to have the opportunity to stand him in Britain. He is a very fast horse, comes from a very speedy family and is by a stallion that had a Royal Ascot two-year-old treble in his first season."
Washington DC will join Fountain of Youth at Bearstone Stud. A stud fee will be announced later.

We note that in reports of early November, the Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA), using ABS data, revealed that the national gender pay gap presently stands at 14.6%, the lowest in twenty years. The WGEA noted that the gap had hovered between 15% and 19% over the past two decades.
The WGEA measures the national pay gap as the difference between women and men's average weekly full-time base salary earnings expressed as a percentage of men's earnings. In this context, it is a measure of women's overall pay positioning in the workforce. Across the entire workforce, as we understand the WGEA's research release, the gender pay gap across the entire market stands at 21.3%. We note from the WGEA's research that the variability in gender pay changes across industries and appears most pronounced in the financial services sector and construction, followed by real estate services, professional scientific and technical services, with information, media and telecommunications not far behind. Recent research is available on WEGA's website.
In reviewing these emerging issues, Egan Associates determined there would be merit in exploring the gender pay gap as reflected in the nation's most comprehensive wages data collection produced by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) on both ordinary time earnings and total earnings.
Egan Associates decided that in addition to reviewing changes in the level and rate of reward adjustments since the Global Financial Crisis (GFC), there would be merit in exploring the gender pay gap as reflected in the nation's most comprehensive wages data collection produced by the ABS.
National hourly earnings data over the past decade reveals a narrowing of the pay gap for time worked. On the basis of our research and with the knowledge that male total weekly earnings presently amount to $1,769.80, and assuming for calculation purposes an hourly rate of $39.05, it appears that males are working 45.3 hours per week. In addition, female total weekly earnings presently standing at $1,453.10 and assuming $35.60 an hour, females are working 40.76 hours per week.
* Adult, Hourly earnings by male employees are higher than female employees.
While the above data and tables below provide insight into the gender pay gap, it is not exhaustive and does not consider other factors which are critical in wage determination. These factors would include work value, that is the comparability of position accountability, hours of work, location of work and conditions of work, as well as the incumbent's performance. These are matters which, in our judgement, are important in forming any view as to the fairness and appropriateness of remuneration outcome.
And other factors which might be considered relevant. The most recent data pertaining to national ordinary time earnings and total earnings of males and females across all industries set out in the tables below highlight the variability between sectors which will also be influenced by gender dominance and the different role bias between the genders.
While the above data has provided guidance in relation to movement over the period since the GFC, in ordinary time earnings for males and females and by industry and State, the differential between the private sector and the public sector on a national basis is set out in the table below.
Over the ten-year period of May 2008 to 2018, the increase in average ordinary time earnings for males has been 41%, in respect of total earnings the increase has been 40%. Ordinary time earnings have increased from $1,188.40 per week to $1,677.10 per week and total earnings from $1,261.20 to $1,769.80.
For female employees, both ordinary time earnings and full-time earnings over the same period have increased by 43%. Ordinary time earnings have increased from $1,010 to $1,433.40 and total earnings from $1,015.60 to $1,453.10.
The gap between ordinary time earnings and total earnings is likely to reveal that males are working longer hours. The gap across all industries will also reflect the differential participation across various sectors of males and females. The rate of realignment over the period is modest given the starting position where ordinary time earnings for males in 2008 stood at $1,188.40 compared to females at $1,000.10.
If you require further information about this data, please call Zoe Lockyer on (02) 9225 3225.

Read these pages, and do some more Google searching when you come across something that interests you. There's a lot of resources out there, but you'll have to find out what you're interested in.
To clear one thing up right off the bat, you can't pick up your phone, dial a toll free number, blow 2600Hz, and get a free call. Blue boxing in the US, as commonly practiced in the 1970's, is impossible.
Make sure you always pay attention to the date of the file you're reading. Most information found in files written in the 80's and 90's is out of date.
I've thought about this before, and I really don't think there's any true or even clear method of how exactly to get your phreak on. Like hacking, there's a ton of different interpretations of it, but at the core of it all, it's exploration of the telephone network. Personally, I think the best way to enjoy it is to just build one step at a time from mild curiosities. Ideally, it's best to use any excuse to pick up a phone and dial something. Even the most menial excuse you can think of to dial another number, pick up a random PBX phone, or whatever will more than likely spill you into something interesting. My only other suggestion would be to do most things from a landline, or anything like it you may have. The better the phone, the more you're going to hear.
it really depends on what you are interested in learning.. do you want to learn how different PBX systems work? do you want to find interesting stuff connected to different phone lines, modems, test lines, recordings?
I was kind of curious about the scanner thing...I first got into ham radio and scanning because of the PLA's pranks with the modified Yaesu radios at drive-thrus. I came for the havoc, but stayed because...well radio is really freaking sweet (listening to someone's cordless convo was always fun too). Anyways, as the 900 MHz phone users die/upgrade to the higher frequency phones, is listening to them still possible on radios equipped for the higher frequencies (IIRC the newer phone bands are close to the more experimental ham bands) or are they all encrypted now?
ANAC - Automatic Number Announcement Circuit - a number that reads back your ANI, if you can find an ANAC that reads back your ANI-II it is very valuable, the additional 2 digits read back the class of service, POTS, ACTS, etc..
What you could use is a telcom glossary of terms and acronyms.
It's the most recent glossary (2007). This glossary should have every one in it.
www.atis.orgThis is the Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions site. It has several sections of interest for numbering.
INC documents, where you can find all of the assignment guidelines for numbering resources.
INC working documents, where you will find documentation on, for example, what alternatives the industry is considering when we run out of 10-digit telephone numbers.
Good lookin spreadsheet. I was thinking once of making my own but then I found atis.org's and that saved me the trouble, plus way more complete than I'd ever have time to make.
-You can see the desire to help others in this thread.
To whom are you referring ?
Btw, that is not my personal pic by my username (since I'm on that topic) - I do not resemble a schematic, just an fyi. ... haha .
Very true. For the newb that's necessary knowledge - "not all phones are created equal". Same for the route to connect a dialed number, to name a few.
I agree. The mp3 directory is a good place to go.
Edit : Edit that. Mp3 directory? It's .ram files only, hence the reason for Real Player being needed. Just another fyi.


The latest novel in the Faerie series, The Magic Between Us, was not exactly what I was expecting. Although I liked Marcus and Cecelia's story, reading it was a bit more tedious than the previous two novels. As much as I found their story compelling – I was confused throughout the novel causing me to reread sections.
First let me say, I liked Marcus and sympathized with his struggle. I was also overcome with pathos over Cecelia's plight and situation. I loved how Marcus's family stepped in to help him follow his heart. It was all heartwarming. I liked how the overall story arc of Mayden seemed to come full circle.
Marcus Thorne was groomed to be one of the Trusted Few in the land of the fae, but now he must step into his father's title in the British ton.
Cecelia Hewitt, a half fae/half human, has always lived in the human world and is not accustomed to wings and magic.
Completely unprepared for their new positions, Marcus and Cecelia strike up a partnership to teach each other about their respective worlds. In the process, they discover they have more in common than they ever expected—including a burning mutual attraction.
Marcus was groomed for leadership in the land of the fae, but now that he has found his human parents, he will inherit his father's title and position in the British ton—and he will marry a human. As love and passion continue to burn between Cecelia and Marcus, the question remains: Can two people fated for different worlds find one to share?
Now, when I picked up The Magic Between Us, I had only ever seen the Goodreads summary. Needless to say, it is NOT what the book is about. If I had known the accurate book description (the Author's), my confusion while reading would have been nonexistent and therefore I think my rating would be higher. While reading I kept wondering why Cecelia seemed like a full blooded fae – she even had wings! I didn't understand and would reread trying to figure out why I felt like I was reading a completely different book than what was described. Imagine my chagrin when I discovered that I was right!
Even with this glaring annoyance, I still liked The Magic Between Us. The mythology, the mixture of fantasy and historical romance, and especially the characters were enjoyable. The witty banter between Marcus and Cecelia combined with the boiling sexual tension made for a gripping read. Cecelia and her personality struck a harmonious chord with me. The way she internalized and tried to keep a smile to the world while she despaired inside. I was biting my nails and mentally screaming at Marcus while waiting and hoping for him to see through to Cecelia's heart.
Although the final confrontation with Mayden did not go as I expected, I wasn't unsatisfied. It was interesting to see a big bad, humanized. Though his background contributed to his evil character and it does not excuse his behavior. Like most people, Mayden was not born evil – but became so. Though not action packed, it was suspenseful and thought provoking the way Ms. Falkner ended The Magic Between Us.
I am not sure if more awaits in the Faerie series, but if so, I look forward to reading it! If you want a mix of historical romance and fantasy, pick up this series. However, you will want to start from the beginning. But do not despair, the story arc is only lasts for three novels and you'll be ready for the next.
WOOT WOOT! I could finally see this post while going through bloglovin.
I do love this cover!
Yea! Thank you for your patients on that! Parajunkee figured out what plugin was messing it up and fixed it. Woo!
