“I am concerned that the deletions of and vacancies in key senior cyber leadership positions [are] sending the wrong message about how important cybersecurity is to the government workforce, commercial and international partners, and potential cyber adversaries,” Touhill wrote via email. “As national prosperity and national security are dependent on a strong cybersecurity program that delivers results that are effective, efficient and secure, I believe cybersecurity ought to be at the top of the agenda, and we need experienced cyber leaders sitting at the table to help guide the right decisions.”
The federal cybersecurity report said many agencies lack situational awareness and noted this has been a long-standing issue in the U.S. government.
“Sharing information in real time of an active and fully identified attack is critical. However, more information alone won’t help if there is no contextual basis to understand what was attacked, what vulnerability was leveraged, the attacker’s intent and impact to the enterprise,” Naum said. “I wonder what systems are in place or are needed to process the real-time threat data to then automatically protect the rest of the federal space.”
Katherine Gronberg, vice president of government affairs at ForeScout Technologies, based in San Jose, Calif., said the focus of CDM is on real-time visibility.
“Standardized, professionally managed cloud systems will significantly help reduce risks and eliminate several threat vectors,” Lewis wrote via email. “If agencies adopt DHS’s Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation process, they will not have to develop and reinvent custom programs. However, as with all standards, there needs to be some flexibility. Agencies should be able to modify a standard approach within defined limits. Failure to involve agencies in developing a common approach and in defining the boundaries of flexibility will result in limited acceptance and adoption of the common approach.”
“The NIST Framework has lots of very basic advice and is very useful. It would be a step in the right direction. However, it is important to keep in mind that standards generally reflect the bare minimum,” McGraw said. “Organizations that view security solely as a compliance requirement generally fall short, compared to others that treat it as a core or enabling component of their operations.”
Michael Magrath, director of global regulations and standards at OneSpan, said, “Improving resource allocations is a crucial to improving our federal cyberdefenses.”
“With $5.7 billion in projected spending across federal civilian agencies, some agencies may cry poor. The report notes that email consolidation can save millions of dollars each year, and unless agencies have improved efficiencies like email consolidation, have implemented electronic signatures and migrated to the cloud, there remains an opportunity to reallocate funds to better protect their systems,” Magrath said. “The report also notes that agencies are operating multiple versions of the same software. This adds unnecessary expense, and as more and more agencies migrate to the cloud, efficiencies and cost reductions should follow enabling agencies to reallocate budget and IT resources to other areas.”
The massive surge in data volumes companies are producing, processing and storing is great news for Equinix. The Redwood City, Calif., company, which operates more than 175 data centers on five continents, is expanding its reach, investing $39 million to enlarge its London data center. It recently formed new partnerships with Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform, allowing its customers to connect to more of the cloud providers’ services. And it is looking at yet more growth worldwide, eying South America, China and the Middle East for possible data center sites.
“We’re always watching the market and looking for expansion opportunities,” said Ryan Mallory, senior vice president for global solutions enablement at Equinix. In an interview at the MIT Sloan CIO Symposium in Cambridge, Mass., on May 23, Mallory spoke about Equinix’s endeavors and potential future plans amid a booming data center services market. His outlook for the company’s continued growth was optimistic.
The reasons: “exponential” increases in data translating into the need for more data center space; more companies experimenting with data-intensive technologies, like blockchain; and, in an economy where sellers of services often become buyers, the ever-increasing need for interconnectivity.
“Now, you have what used to be just an enterprise customer wanting to buy services from Microsoft or Azure in a very transactional manner,” Mallory said. “You actually now have companies like Microsoft or Google or SAP turning around and buying services back from the enterprise — more importantly, buying services from us together.”
Mallory also touched on potential dangers: overbuilding in the data center services market and whether Britain’s impending exit from the EU would force contingency plans. Following are edited excerpts from the conversation.
Equinix is expanding its London data center in response to demand from financial services companies. How much is the growth in the amounts of data companies are using contributing to the need for more data center space?
Ryan Mallory: It’s exponential, and it’s exponential in a positive manner. You just touched on the financial industry. The capabilities associated with financial and the way they do transactions and the way they’re starting to look at blockchain infrastructure — those footprints become pretty massive. The need to have power, cooling and space becomes big. And you start to see trends in financial markets — London, New York, Tokyo — that have these builds for specific verticals. Now, when you start to look at the access to smart devices and those type of integrations, all it’s going to do is incrementally increase the amount of capabilities that are needed for access close to the edge, therefore driving up more demand for data centers.
What we’re seeing is with that comes the need for some of those early adopters of this neutral or this interconnected model to also benefit. Our network partners 10 years ago, people were going, ‘Man, are these companies really going to make it and be viable long term?’ We’ve seen a dramatic resurrection of the companies with fiber capabilities, and we’re partnering with them very carefully and very effectively, because the network access — unless you size that access to the infrastructure accordingly, all you have is big buildings with space and cooling in there.
Is that also what’s driving Equinix’s recent partnerships with Azure and Google?
Mallory: It is. You have to have that connectivity pivot point. But there’s also the demand, because we’ve got the buy side and the sell side that sit inside our facilities. And what we’ve seen is those completely merge, because now you have what used to be just an enterprise customer wanting to buy services from Microsoft or Azure in a very transactional manner. You actually now have companies like Microsoft or Google or SAP turning around and buying services back from the enterprise — more importantly, buying services from us together.
SmartKey is a great example. It allows third-party key management in an encryption fashion. What you’re seeing is this buy-sell relationship really become essential, because it’s not just a retailer and a purchaser. Those sides of the table swap often, and that’s what’s really helping drive the need to have these hyper-interconnected capabilities. And then have more services closer to that, because latency is important to applications and so is the design of how the application is accessed by the end user.
Is there a danger that the data center services market could get overbuilt?
Mallory: It’s a question that hits us all the time because of the amount of development and growth that’s going on. I don’t see it, because the amount of demand and the growth associated with compute and storage that’s out there is so high that that horizon is at least five years out, if at all. The demand that we see from the hyperscalers, as well as our network providers, is pretty substantial.
And now what we’re starting to see is a massive pivot from the enterprise to look at this interconnected-oriented architecture that moves it to become highly distributed, because they know their workforces are highly distributed. Even if it’s just a company in the North American or the U.S. market, they’re still looking at edge deployments in a minimum of four locations, because they know that they’ve got the coverage from a latency and application perspective, either through their own bare-metal deployments or from the IaaS-SaaS providers.
There was talk early on after Brexit that some data center companies might relocate or build facilities in other parts of Europe. Is the expansion of the London data center evidence that those concerns were overblown?
Mallory: We didn’t have those concerns because of the distributed footprint that we’ve had, basically organically and inorganically, over the past five years. The London expansion had to do with demand. We keep a very, very close watch on Brexit and, more importantly, GDPR [General Data Protection Regulation] — what that meant for the markets in the U.K. and the European Union. And while there are concerns about what does that really mean for data flow, the cloud providers and access from the enterprise, we haven’t seen any detrimental effect.
Do you have a Brexit strategy?
Mallory: We watch it, but it’s nothing that we’re building to. We’re not looking at, hey, we’ve got to invest X amount more Capex or from an AFFO perspective and start allocating more capabilities to the U.K. specifically. We’ve got growth models based on land banks that we have, as well as just customer demand both near term and within the next 36 months that we watch and build to.
So, it’s a scenario we need to watch because of just the dynamics of not only information, but revenue flow. But we’ve seen very, very strong demand in all the markets in Europe.
Mallory: We’re always watching the market and looking for expansion opportunities. Right now, we’re taking a look at South America, with the acquisition that we made a couple years ago in Alog down in Brazil and then the most recent one with Verizon — that gave us nodes inside Colombia. What we’ve seen is a much larger than expected demand profile for companies wanting this repeatable, Equinized model in countries in South America. We’re looking at it and saying, ‘OK, what is it going to take from an entry point?’ Because a lot of the core markets that we’ve wanted to be in, we’ve done a good job entering or land banking.
China has always got expansion capabilities. Beijing’s on the list. India is always on the list; it’s just a tough nut to crack, from an infrastructure standpoint and from some of the monopolistic rules that apply there and how you have to form JVs [joint ventures], etc. The Middle East is becoming a lot more appealing, with some of the new leaders that are in place and some of the relaxing of rules and laws that have historically made it difficult to enter based on a content distribution standpoint.
Mallory: Absolutely. We’re seeing a ripple effect through the region.
Equinix’s Ryan Mallory discusses what makes an intelligent enterprise in part one of this two-part Q&A.
Pure Storage software news received less attention than its nonvolatile-memory-express-enabled FlashArray last week at the company’s Pure Accelerate user conference, but the new features did cover a lot of ground.
A core tenet in Pure Storage software development is to add data services while keeping things simple for customers, said Sandeep Singh, Pure’s senior director of cloud and new stack solutions marketing.
“This is all part of our strategy to help you build a data-centric architecture to transition workloads faster and with less effort to multiple cloud environments,” Singh said.
Pure Storage wrote its own software-defined stack for VMware SDDC. The VMware-certified code integrates with VMware Virtual Volumes and the full vRealize suite. Authorized users provision data storage to individual virtual machines via policy-based service catalogs. The underlying storage is Pure Storage FlashBlade in place of VMware Virtual SAN.
Additional Pure Storage software can help optimize large-scale Docker deployments with Kubernetes. The Pure Service Orchestrator is intended to speed stateless and stateful containers via the Pure stack.
Pure multi-cloud approach includes on-premises managed service
The all-flash array vendor also added data protection software. PureSnap enables snapshot replication from Pure Storage flash to any NFS target. CloudSnap replication to Amazon Web Services’ S3 is on the product roadmap for this year, Singh said.
ES2 builds on the Pure Storage Evergreen Storage subscription that lets customers buy storage upfront and receive nondisruptive upgrades. With ES2, customers select capacity and performance requirements. Pure Storage selects the type and number of hardware arrays needed and deploys them at a customer’s site.
Rob Green, CTO of desktop-as-a-service firm Dizzion, said he expects to deploy ES2 as a private cloud for back up and testing on an existing 42-node Pure Storage environment.
“I think ES2 will be huge for us. I don’t trust the big box clouds to protect my data. Having Pure on premises on a subscription? I’m geeked out about that,” Green said.
For DevOps organizations, the vendor released Pure Storage software development kits for full stack automation with open source configuration engines, including Ansible, Puppet, Python and SaltStack.

AIBU to think that if they are your kids then you should make them comply to the rules?
AIBU to think this is pure selfishness?"Oh, screw the other children as long as my little darlings can see, never mind common decency and following rules..."
I've witnessed kids banging on enclosures containing reptiles and the like too, when signs clearly say not to, with parents really not seeming bothered...They give the odd 'No!Don't do that." Job done, apparently...

SD: Custom Touch Homes Announces Expansion in Madison
Custom Touch Homes recently announced plans to build a 48,000-square-foot addition to their Madison plant which will increase the plant’s size to 100,500 square feet. The expansion, their second in the past two years, will allow Custom Touch to double capacity and increase efficiency in production. Custom Touch has been a part of the Madison community since 1996.
Custom Touch currently has 56 full-time employees with plans for over 100 in the next few years, creating up to 50 new jobs in Madison. Custom Touch contracts with several local sub-contractors who will also hire additional workers. This may lead to an additional 15 to 20 full time employees within the community.
“Job growth in South Dakota is my top priority, and growing companies like Custom Touch Homes are the perfect means to that end,” said Gov. Dennis Daugaard. “I’m pleased that state government and the community were able to work together on an expansion project that will benefit both Madison and the state as a whole.”
“The Lake Area Improvement Corporation (LAIC) is extremely excited the Custom Touch expansion is coming together,” said Linda Salmonson, president of the LAIC. “The addition of new employment opportunities and revenues are both good for the community.”
Custom Touch will continue to build homes inside their plant, out of the weather, from start to finish. Homes are built without time delays or weathered materials due to inclement weather such as rain or snow.
“We are extremely happy to be a part of the Madison community,” said Custom Touch co-owner Jeff Larson. “The mayor and commissioners of this community are forward thinking individuals. ard work of both the state and city.”
A key partner in the expansion project was the state of South Dakota. Custom Touch obtained a Revolving Economic Development Initiative (REDI) in the $2.6 million expansion. The state worked in association with Bank West to provide funding to the project. The low local economic development corporations. The REDI Fund provides up to 45 percent of a project’s total cost.
In 2010, Custom Touch developed a new business model that included starting a transportation division. This allowed Custom Touch to deliver homes to their final destination rather than contracting for the service. The company also began attaching the homes to the foundation which completed the new business model of becoming a full service provider.
“As our company grows and we continue to provide improved service, it has a significant impact on the community of Madison,” said Custom Touch co-owner Scott Larson.
Beginning in January 2011, Custom Touch changed the point of delivery of its product, allowing the city of Madison and the state of South Dakota to collect newly generated sales tax, due in part to their regional approach. They are now able to capture tax for the city and state on homes delivered out of state. Custom Touch delivers homes to neighboring states including North Dakota, Wyoming, Minnesota, Iowa, Montana and Nebraska.
The city of Madison recently entered into an agreement with the LAIC to provide Custom Touch with a rebate equal to half of the new sales tax revenue paid by Custom Touch’s Madison operations. Custom Touch could receive up to $1,000,000 back in sales tax rebates. The incentive was developed to aid in Custom Touch’s growth which generates additional income for the city.
"The city is excited to be involved in this economic development expansion for Madison,” said Madison Mayor Gene Hexom. “It will mean new jobs and new revenue for the city. It's a team effort with other entities involved and one we believe will reap benefits for years to come."
Heartland Consumers Power District of Madison has also been a key player in Custom Touch’s success, providing rebates and incentives for past growth. According to HeartlRussell Olson, Custom Touch could see over $50,000 worth of hiring incentives and utility rebates from Heartland on this project.
“Custom Touch’s expansion is a great example of how development of one company helps the entire community,” said Olson. “New jobs mean more money spent by these employees in Madison businesses, more kids in our school district and more tax revenue and increased sales for local companies Custom Touch contracts with. Heartland is proud to be part of economic development in Madison and thank the Larsons for their investment in our community.”
The owners of Custom Touch are proud their homes are locally produced and they work with local partners. According to co-owner Virginia McDonald, Custom Touch could not expand without their local partners and suppliers. She pointed out that each home that leaves their plant is Energy Star rated and the expansion will allow them to produce a house a day.
Custom Touch contracts with many local companies such as Montgomery’s Furniture, Rosebud Manufacturing, Dakota Fixture and Cabinet, Timmer Supply, Homestead Do It Center and others for floor coverings, furnishings, countertops and building materials. According to Clark Sinclair, owner of Montgomery’s Furniture, Custom Touch is an asset to the Madison community and their investment in this expansion is more good news for Madison’s future.

israel cut off food supplies to gaza while the hamas leadership was still honoring the cease fire. using food as a weapon is a war crime. and a military blockade is that's how israel claims it was attacked first in 1967 (israel fired the first shot, but that was in response to a blockade by the arab countries. so israel claimed the blockade meant they were attacked first)
the whole situation in gaza is completely tragic. i have friends on both sides of that one. israel will never be secure as long as they keep collectively punishing the civilians living in gaza.

Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Tom Petty, known for classic rock radio hits such as "American Girl," "Refugee" and "Free Fallin'," suffered a cardiac arrest on Sunday and subsequently was removed from life support, according to news reports. He is 66.
On a newly sod berm -- what many began calling "the grassy knoll" -- thousand stretched out on blankets or rented lawn chairs.
Perfect for the yuppie crowd, but not exactly rock 'n' roll enough for some.
As audience members rushed the stage, Dylan sniped: "It's good to stretch a little bit. It feels good. ... Maybe San Antone likes to sit down? I don't know."
"Rough basketball game, huh? That had to hurt a little bit," said Dylan, whose performance had been delayed by the venue's telecast of the Los Angeles Lakers' 104-90 victory over the San Antonio Spu Ouch!
At 9:35 p.m. came the downbeat to the raucous "Runnin' Down a Dream," and the audience exploded to its feet.
A bearded Petty, decked out in a purple, Gram Parsons-era Nudie of Hollywood-style coat, grinned as he and fellow Heartbreaker Mike Campbell played rare matching Gibson reverse Firebirds (vintage instruments have long been a source of pride and inspiration for these two).
Likewise. keyboardist Benmont Tench played a real grand piano for a more organic feel. Heck, even Elton John doesn't do that anymore. Tench relied on relics such as a '70s electric Wurlitzer piano, Hammond B-3 organ and Leslie tone cabinet and analog synth.
The message? There's a lot of great music left in them old instruments -- and in these musicians together for 25 years.
"I Won't Back Down" benefited from Campbell's stinging slide solo on a Ventures Mosrite guitar.
With his nasal Bob Dylan-cum-Roger McGuinn sneer, Petty delivered hits such as "Mary Jane's Last Dance," "Here Comes My Girl," "It's Good to Be King

What is Guided GradCAM method?
Guided GradCAM is a method created by Selvaraju et al. [1] which combines both GBP and GradCAM (also created by the same authors). To explain the idea of Guided GradCAM, we have to split it into separate components.
Class Activation Mapping (CAM) [2] is an approach to localizing regions responsible for a class prediction. This idea replaces the fully connected layers on the CNN with more convolutional layers and global average pooling (GAP) [3].
Figure 1: The modified architecture of the CNN that produces CAMs. Source: Learning Deep Features for Discriminative Localization
As shown in Figure 1, just before the Softmax layer, the GAP operation is performed. This computes the spatial average of the feature map from the last CNN layer for every unit. The weighted sum of these spatial averages is calculated to produce the final output, and the Softmax layer gives us a normalized output used for classification. Class activation maps are computed similarly to the output, but the process is reversed. As an input, we have a class ccc, and the activation map for that class can be computed as:
Mc(x,y)=∑k=1nwkcfk(x,y)M_c(x,y) = \sum_{k=1}^{n} w_k^c f_k(x,y)Mc(x,y)=k=1∑nwkcfk
Where wkcw_k^cwkc is a weight corresponding to the unit kkk and class ccc, and fk(x,y)f_k(x,y)fk(x,y) is an activation of the last convolutional layer at the location (x,y)(x,y)(x,y) for unit kkk (visualized in Fig. 1, the bottom part of the image).
Selvaraju et al. argue that the CAM approach has a major drawback which is a requirement to modify the network and replace all fully-connected layers with convolutional layers. This makes CAM only applicable to certain tasks and reduces the performance of the network itself. They introduce the method that fixes all mentioned issues and calls it GradCAM. This method is implementation agnostic (within the CNNs) and can be applied without any modifications to the network. As the name says, GradCAM uses a gradient to generate CAMs. Unlike in the original CAM paper, GradCAM allows selecting the convolutional layer we use as a feature map against which we compute the gradient. The gradient is computed for a given score ycy^cyc (ccc indicated a class) before the softmax layer. Then we use a feature map from the selected layer and calculate weight akca_k^cakc for every neuron (see eq. below) (similar to calculating weight for every unit in CAM).
akc=1Z∑i∑j∂yc∂Aijka_k^c = \frac{1}{Z} \sum_{i} \sum_{j} \frac{\partial y^c}{\partial A_{ij}^k}akc=Z1i∑j∑∂Aijk∂yc
1Z∑i∑j\frac{1}{Z} \sum_{i} \sum_{j}Z1∑i∑j defines a global average pooling over the width (iii) and height (jjj) and ∂yc∂Aijk\frac{\partial y^c}{\partial A_{ij}^k}∂Aijk∂yc is the gradient of score with respect to selected layers’ feature map. With all akca_k^cakc calculated, we can perform a linear combination of feature maps AkA^kAk and the neuron importance weights akca_k^cakc:
MGradCAMc=ReLU(∑kakcAk)M^c_{\text{GradCAM}} = \text{ReLU} \left(\sum_{k} a_k^c A^k \right)MGradCAMc=ReLU
The ReLU is used there to cutoff any non-positive values. The intuition behind using ReLU is that negative values more likely belong to other classes, which are also present in the image. The size of the map MGradCAMcM^c_{\text{GradCAM}}MGradCAMc is the same as the size of the convolutional feature map used to compute the gradient. Values from the map then have to be mapped on the original image to visualize which region was relevant in predicting class ccc.
Figure 2: Guided GradCAM computation process. Source: Grad-CAM: Visual Explanations from Deep Networks via Gradient-based Localization
Guided GradCAM is a combination of GradCAM’s map and GBP attribution. To compute the Guided GradCAM value, we are performing the Hadamard product (also known as element-wise multiplication) of the attribution from GBP with a map from GradCAM (see Fig. 2). Combining GBP and GradCAM allows us to generate sharp attributions, as presented in Figure 3.

ically, geologically and biologically. The boundaries defined by these various definitions are not identical. The most commonly used definition is the hydrographic one.
Hydrographic Great Basinn. The term "Great Basin" may be slightly misleading becauseke, Walker Lake, Pyramid Lake and the Carson and Humboldt Sinks are a few of the "drains" in the Great Basin.
The Basin and Range region is recognized by its unusual topography. It is a product of the geologic forces in the area and has nothing to do with drainage. This area is characterized by many, mostly north-south trending, tilted mountain ranges. These are separated by flat valleys, or basins. This geologic region encompasses most of the Great Basin, as well as parts of Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and Mexicos. The climate of the Great Basin is affected by the rain shadow of the Sierra and Cascade Mountains. It is a temperate desert with snowy winters and hot, dry summers. The valleys are dominated by sagebrush and shadscale. The biologic communities on the mountain ranges differ with elevation, and the ranges act as islands isolated by seas of desert vegetation in the lower, drier valleys.
Islands in the Desert?
Great Basin Mountains rise like islands above flat, dry land. This illusion hints at an important biological truth. Certain species, such as marmots, blue grouse, quaking aspen and bristlecone pine, survive in the region only on these tall, cool mountains. These populations are stranded on green islands in the desert, separated from the rest of their kind to the same extent as plants and animals living on islands in the sea. The Snake Range is a relatively large island located fairly close to the Rocky Mountains of central Utah, a "mainland" area for mountain species. Over millennia, more species arrived in the Snake Range than did on islands farther from the mainland, and more species survived here than did on smaller islands with fewer resources. As a result, the Snake Range has more kinds of plants and animals than most other ranges in the Great Basin. </s> By Matt Berger
"I think any company that can make a case that it has been damaged by the exclusionary acts affirmed in the Court of Appeals opinion would be able to use the facts from this case once the case becomes final," said Dana Hayter, an attorney at the law firm Fenwick & West LLP and former member of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) in San Francisco.
Several additional lawsuits could come from some of Microsoft's biggest rivals, including AOL Time Warner Inc. (parent company of CNN.com) and digital media company RealNetworks Inc.
That decision -- and any others that follow as the case proceeds -- give private plaintiffs a key weapon in state and federal courts. In legal speak that's called "Res Judicata." Any plaintiff that has been damaged by Microsoft's monopolistic behavior can introduce Judge Jackson's "findings of fact," which still stand without having to prove them again. If a plaintiff can prove evidence of liability, "then all they have to prove is damages," Hayter said.
Since Jackson's order last year to break Microsoft in two, an estimated 140 private and civil ts. By some estimates, Microsoft has overcharged customers $10 per copy of its operating system, according to Robert Halle, who is involved in the government's case against Microsoft.
But 20 states allow individual purchasers to file claims, and the appeals court opinion has paved the way for more companies to take advantage of that right.
One of its biggest threats comes from AOL Time Warner, the parent company of Netscape Communications Corp., which was one of the original Netscape's Navigator Web browser is at the center of the government's case against Microsoft.
"We have seen numbers quoted that indicate Microsoft could owe damages to the tune of $3 billion to Netscape/AOL," Laura Lederman, a financial analyst with William Blair &


“We only came with seven and now we’re down to six, so it’s a bit of an open race for us now,” said Dombrowski, who is using the 2.HC race in Utah to prepare for later this month.
Dombrowski, who is currently 14 seconds down on overall leader Kiel Reijnen (UnitedHealthcare), hasn’t raced in Utah since 2012, when he finished fourth overall while riding for the Bontrager Development Team run by Axel Merckx. He finished third that year on the Queen stage to Snowbird on the penultimate day, so he is not unfamiliar with the challenges that lie ahead.
The last day of the race starts and finishes in Park City and features the daunting climb up Empire Pass.
Because the Vuleta will be Dombrowski’s first Grand Tour, he’ll be at the race to gain experience, he said, but that doesn’t rule out the possibility of going for a result.

Chicago, Illinois, is one of the most prosperous cities in america and also one of the most dangerous. There is an estimate that at least 1104 calls that report to 911 operators in Chicago and everything is on the line when those lines are connected. 911 operators are the eyes and ears of the city in distress. Your job is effect the crime of this poor unfortunate city and its people who live inside.
A police officer (also known as a policeman/woman, police agent, patrolman
ctOS Responders
ctOS (Chicago's Central Operating Systems) controls everything going on with Chicago, from Traffic Lights to Security Cameras and Bridges too, ctOS has a grasp of all of this. Including police scanning. You as a ctOS Responder can detect the report of an intense crime going on anywhere in the area of Chicago. You can send Police to that direct location, so long as the line stays open and the criminal doesn't speed off outside of Chicago too far. This may be considered one of the world's most reliable and remarkable form of OS's anywhere and has a reputation for being... too protective. But rather than focusing on that, people are worried about the sudden missing wedding ring from their purses.
Damsel/Victim
Criminal/Suspect
Someone who is the relating to, or involving in, crime as an activity. That's it, black and white. Doesn't even matter if it isn't that big of a crime, whether it be you stealing power from the apartment beside you or resisting arrest.
So... what are you gonna do with Chicago?
1: There are only five categories of characters. 911 Operators, Policemen, ctOS Responder, Damsel and Suspect/Criminal.
2: Time is of the essence in this RP as these are going to be literal emergency situation, making this RP very active. If you cannot answer in time to a certain situation, then it will be too late to deal with the crime.
3: Keep each others crimes/timelines from crossing each other. It makes things... complicated.
4: There is an order to everything, including crime. If you do not plan your crimes correctly, you might just get caught before you can start.
5: The GM took two years of criminology classes so it might be difficult to get away with a crime. Implying yet again, be careful in committing your crimes.

Although there is no clear history record about when exactly does the system begin, or who does firstly introduce it, Noken System still conveys the historical value of Papuans which has been passed from the older generation to the younger. As a part of Papuan local wisdom, it may continue to help the people of Papua in making their political choices in the future generation.
One of the most distinctive usages of Noken System is when it is used in the Act of Free Choice, an important historical event for Papuans held in 1969. This referendum act makes Papua what it is today when the easternmost island is reclaimed by the Republic of Indonesia.
Despite the debates about its fairness and legalization, Noken System has been regulated by legal basis as it officially refers to two regulations: the Decision Number of Indonesian Supreme Court Number 47-48 in 2009 about the result of a legislative election of Yakuhimo district, and the Decision Number 1 in 2014 about the Presidential and Vice-Presidential election. Therefore, besides being the cultural heritage and special voting method for Papuans, Noken System is a fair mechanism when it is applied to certain conditions of the electoral process. </s> Perception Managers is a specialized Entertainment Public Relations firm which aims at providing 360-degree PR solutions.

[Identification of item], AIDS Treatment News, MSS 94-2AIDS Treatment News has frequently been the first publication to investigate and write about potential new treatments, clinical trials, and the politics involved in government sanctioned and alternative therapeutics. It is a primary resource is also read by many physicians and scientists involved in AIDS research and care.
The records included in this collection primarily document how this information is gathered and provides a rough daily chronology of developments in AIDS treatments over a five year period (1987-1991).
The ATN Operations series is limited by the nature of ATN itself. This is a small, loosely run organization. Decisions are often made informally and oftentimes have not been recorded for posterity. Meeting minutes and related documents are scanty, and none have been found from ATN's earlier years. The period from 1990 to 1992 seems to have been one in which attempts were made to function more formally, and almost all of the documents in this series stem from that period.
A series on meetings and issues contains notes by James on six conferences or meetings, the President's Cancer Panel, and the issues of supposed "cures", fraud, and long-term survival. A final folder contains seven papers or essays by as many authors.
ATN originated in the mid-1980s in a split from Mobilization Against AIDS.Another organization that broke away from Mobilization at that time was Documentation of AIDS Issues and Resources (DAIR), which in turn spawned Project Inform. All of these were community-based organizations formed primarily by gay men.

When: Saturday, Dec. 16 at 9:30 p.m.
Rock, funk, jazz, alternative or all of the above? Local listeners can judge for themselves this Saturday at the Summit, when the Boulder band Morsoul pays Durango a visit.
Morsoul was assembled in late 2003 by drummer/singer Dan Menchey. Menchey has played integral roles in several touring acts including the McCloskey Bros. Band and Mucis, was hired as Bo Diddly’s drummer, and has played hundreds of shows across the nation including summer festivals like High Sierra, Ten Thousand Lakes and Baja Bash.
Not the typical front man, Dan leads Morsoul as a stand-up drummer and Morsoul’s primary singer and songwriter. This in mind, most of the songs originate from drum beats, bass lines, and vocal melodies resulting in a sound The Vail Daily called, “Steely Dan with a Chili Peppers twist.” Live, the quartet delivers strong vocal harmonies, tight musical texture changes, and a lively intelligent techno-beam light show.
The band is currently shopping its LP, “The Devil’s in the Details,” to record labels and has big tour plans for 2007. In the meantime, Morsoul is continuing to build its Colorado fan base, with shows like this Saturday’s. Morsoul goes on stage at the Summit at 9:30 p.m. For more information, call 247-2324.
What: An all-day visit from Santa benefiting the Boys & Girls Club
Where: The old Alpine Bank office, 1063 Main Ave.
When: Sat., Dec. 16, from 10 a.m.-6 p.m.
Santa Claus is paying downtown Durango a visit this Saturday, and he’s bringing a big gift for a local charity. Santa is moving his workshop into the old Alpine Bank office on Dec. 16 and proceeds will benefit the new Boys & Girls Club of La Plata County.
Santa comes to the downtown at the request och is underwriting the costs of the event. Proceeds from photos with Santa, a gift wrapping station, and sales of the “Rhythms of Durango” CD will all benefit the Boys
& Girls Club of La Plata County.
“Our merchants, who support the BID, have repeatedly made the holiday wish that Santa visit the downtown during the holiday shopping season – a time that is crucial to all these independent retailers,” said Pam Glasco, coordinator of the event. “We are able to make their wish come true this year. There have been a variety of Santa sightings around the county, but this is the only ‘Santa’s Workshop.’”
The traditional workshop environment will feature Santa “dressed down” for the occasion in toy-making attire – a plaid flannel shirt, red suspenders and more – the picture of Santa known by generations of children prior to the commercial “red” suit came into being. Children will have the opportunity to speak with “St. Nick” in the fun-filled, comfortable environment. Holiday music and hot cocoa and cookies will all be part of the package for those visiting Santa’s Workshop, which will be open from 10 a.m.-6 p.m.

GOD AND MT. MORIAH Chronicles 3:These are the only two verses in our Bibles in which the name, “Moriah” is mentioned. It is a word which comes from two Hebrew words meaning, “Seen of Jehovah.” And we learn from a prayerful meditation and study that God’s focus was truly upon this mount. For these two verses involve two of the Lord God’s highly favored men, Abraham and David. But they are actually in order to reveal to us the One whom the scriptures are all about! – The Lord Jesus Christ! And to know him is to have eternal lifeConsider this passage: 1 Kings 22.
Yet it was in the eternal purposes of God to call his name from the earthly city of Jerusalem in order to reveal his “heavenly Jerusalem,” which is the true church!,
And in order to make this change, it required David’s free choice of the proper chastisement for this to take place. For since the Lord would change the place of worship and the enclosure in which this worship was to be made, it required a plague. And therefore David, of his own free volition chose not three years of famine, nor three months of being destroyed before his enemies, but three days of pestilence from the Lord..
For this pestilence, once it had fulfilled the Lord’s purposes of purging out 70,000 men of Israel, who were, without doubt, those whose sin had angered the Lord, was stopped at the exact spot of Ornan’s threshing floor upon which God’s focus was directed for the threshing of soul’s by His Eternal Son!.
David referred to the peoples of Israel as “these.
But let us go now to the scene of the third and last encounter with Mount Moriah. It is not mentioned by name again. It is now referred to as Golgotha. John 19.
But wait! The Lord God has commanded Abraham to put up his knife and do no harm to Isaac! And He has commanded the mighty angel, “It is enough, stay now thing hand.” Shall he not respond in the same manner to His own Son, who cries out to Him, as his sweat becomes as great drops of blood,?” Surely this is of far greater weight to the heart of the Father than was Abraham or David! But no! Heaven is silent.
No other such aloneness in death! No other such abandonment of all loving relations! No other such horrible misjudging of one so holyHe actually caused the sword to be raised against the Son!s.

--Mere
Aww, you'll be missed around here, Elene, but it doesn't surprise me given how hectic you've been of late, and I'm sure I'll still see you around on AIM on LJ.
I've actually managed to get a LoveNote written, so I'm feeling proud of myself. I wasn't going to claim one until I got a few other things done, but then I got sideswiped by the sort of insistent inspiration that just won't shut up.
Just a heads up, guys - I'm still missing my beloved SPEW file, which means I have no idea who is on hiatus/who missed reviews and everything for January. If you didn't do your January requirements and I haven't PM'ed you, then please start on them anyway as I'll be chasing it up as soon as I get the stuff from my old computer next week. I'm sorry I've been so all over the place the past few months with my computer troubles, but you guys have been fabulous with helping me out and I really appreciate it. <3
Is anyone up for a SPEW chat sometime soon? I'm free basically all the time, so if you guys let me know dates/times I'll see what I can do!
I keep trying to write my LoveNote but my creativity seems to have hit a wall at the moment. But there's still over a week, so I'll keep trying!
I shall be spending Singles' Awareness Day (<3 Elene for that term) working, and then with the TV. I sent a good friend flowers, since he always sends me flowers on holidays and my birthday, but other than that, I'm looking forward for this particular holiday to be over. St Patrick's Day should be fun, since the t-shirts are always giggle-worthy, but all in all, I sort of left holidays behind years ago. I'm old and stuffy like that.
Oi! SPEW! Jen's right; there's an echo in here. :/
It's a little dead in here lately - where have you all gone?!
LoveNotes will start being posted tomorrow! (I know it's a bit early for most of you but it'll be Valentine's Day for me) I'm super excited; there are some really great ones this year.

People leave the port by boat to return their communities amid the arrival of Tropical Storm Bonnie in Bluefields, Nicaragua, July 1, 2022. Tropical Storm Bonnie has formed over the Caribbean as it heads for a quick march across Central America and potential development into a hurricane after reemerging in the Pacific.
“Colin will continue to produce locally heavy rainfall across coastal portions of North Carolina through Sunday morning, where an additional 1 to 2 inches of rainfall is possible,“ the center said.
“We are waiting for the storm to hit, hoping that it won’t destroy our region,“ Bluefields resident Ricardo Gómez, who was 8 when Joan hit, said before Bonnie arrived.


Gregor Buckingham, a young metaphysician scarred from a childhood fire, doesn’t have much going for him, but now Sedona is calling to him. In the Northern Arizona town celebrated for mysterious energy vortexes, UFO sightings and other paranormal activity, Gregor will soon discover a lost ancient power, his first requited love and a mortal enemy he must fight to save them both.
Sedona: The Lost Vortex was awarded third place in the national 2012 Sharp Writ Book Awards.  It also received five out of five stars in the Sacramento Book Review, which stated, “Wilson does an amazing job of entertaining the theme of science vs. religion, while at the same time, maintaining a suspense-filled, intriguing novel.”

Born and raised in Lebanon, TN, Mikel J. Wilson moved as a young adult to Southern California and currently resides in San Diego. His debut novel, “Sedona: The Lost Vortex,” is the first in a series of sci-fi books building on the legends of Sedona, and it was awarded third place in the national 2012 Sharp Writ Book Awards. In addition to a Sedona sequel (scheduled for publication in 2016), Wilson is currently working on a series of mystery novels, the first of which will be published in 2015.


The next stop in his comeback will be with the York Revolution.
Veres pitched for the Cardinals, Rockies, Astros, Cubs and Expos during his career. He saved 31 games for the Rockies in 1999, and 29 games for the Cards in 2000. But during his final days in Triple-A in 2004, Veres knew he needed to step away from the game.
He decided to pursue hip replacement surgery in 2006. He struggled to sleep more than two hours most nights. But the final decision to undergo surgery came after he struggled just to race his son up the driveway in front of their house. Veres stopped every 20 feet because of the pain.
Joining a city league in his home state of Colorado, Veres said he found joy in competition -- and eventually he started thinking comeback. He signed with the Rockies in 2007, and in the process perhaps make history. Slugger Bo Jackson returned to the majors in 1993-94 following hip replacement surgery, but Veres was attempting to become the first player to pitch in the majors with a prosthetic hip.
The comeback, however, never panned out. Veres “tweaked” his elbow in spring training after he rushed to warm up. Needing rest, he didn’t pitch at Triple-A until late in the season. He appeared in five games, throwing just 4¤Ò innings. The Rockies didn’t have an open spot in winter ball, and Veres couldn’t find a team with an opening in Mexico. According to Veres, Rockies General Manager Dan O’Dowd recommended the Atlantic League.
“Dave really sought us out,”“He told us that he doesn’t care what role he’s used in. He just wants the ball.

The free activity sheets available on this site are themed with characters from The Adventures of Victor and Percy. They are presented as Victor Voltage, Percy Pipe, René Renewable or Group activities. The Victor Voltage activities have an electrical or electronic gadget theme. The Percy Pipe activities have a pipes and plumbing theme. The René Renewable activities have a renewable energy theme and focus on nature and the environment. The Group activities feature more than one of the characters.
The character based exercises are then divided into twelve different types of learning activity. These activity types are linked to a child's early development and help to advance particular skills in children. This learning programme allows the child to identify with a particular character and the parent to devise a fun, skill based learning programme focused on a child's learning needs.

We had district meeting with Elder Hughes this week!He mentioned something that I really like, that I'm not sure why I haven't been doing before. He said that when he teaches he likes to take a minute to really express how big of a deal the Restoration is. If it is true, that changes so much!It was fun this week to explain and testify to people of how amazing it is that Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father truly appeared to Joseph Smith to restore the church back on the earth. I wouldn't have it any other way!
I had a dream last night that I was home and felt like I needed to serve another mission, so I submitted my papers and got called to the Tonga mission where the Other Side of Heaven movie takes place. (Is that even where it takes place?) And then I felt guilty because I submitted papers without the approval of the bishop and I suddenly felt like I shouldn't go so I decided to talk to the bishop about it and see what he thought. So, maybe that was a round about confirmation that I need to be serving here in Arkansas, not Tonga. Hahaha!
Oh man, so much happened this week and I have no idea how to write it all down. BUT, one thing that was so awesome is we have been teaching a young girl who is pretty shy and doesn't like to pray aloud but we read seven verses in the Book of Mormon and she ASKED US if she could pray!And then she said another prayer after dinner!She just needed to know she could do it by herself and it's still a good prayer. It's amazing what things happen when we read the Book of Mormon and follow the Spirit!
Brother Plumb is a member here and he randomly texted us with an awesome referral. (Members doing missionary work is THE BEST.) He has a friend who he gave a Book of Mormon to and explained a little bit about it and Moroni's challenge at the end. So we stopped by there with him the other night and it was so cool. We got to know them a little bit and ended up setting a date with the friend and girlfriend!
Our Spanish Zone Leaders are very inspired. We had a conference call (because all the Spanish missionaries are too spread out to have zone meetings, so we just attend English and have a conference c all for Spanish) and at the end they invited us to set three dates for baptism before going inside Sunday night-the call was Friday night. We were super excited because we had plans to do a lot of tracting Saturday and the goal is usually to set a baptism date in the first lesson, so we were like YEAH THIS WILL BE THE BEST. So Saturday we found a bunch of awesome areas with a lot of Spanish speaking people but we didn't set a date with a single person that day!
So, Sunday, we decided to stop by a new investigators house who isn't home very often but we had done service for her earlier in the week and she was really open and we made friends very quickly. We stopped by and she happened to be home!(It's a miracle really.) And she said she was busy, we promised only ten minutes and we taught the Restoration to her. It was such an awesome lesson because I really am not very good at Spanish but words were coming to my mind so quickly and I was teaching her things I didn't think I knew how to teach!Same with Hermana Moore!
The lady started crying and told us that we don't understand how complicated her life is and that she couldn't accept a baptismal date because she doesn't like to think about Joseph Smith or the Book of Mormon or really the stories in the Bible very much because she needs simplicity in her life. We told her that no, we don't know exactly what is going on to make her life so complicated but that God does and He sent us to her house for a reason and she happened to be there at the right time two times in a row and He wants her to find peace through His restored gospel. The spirit touched her heart and she accepted a baptismal date with a smile. She sort of made it seem like "I don't know why I am saying yes but I can't say no." haha I love the power of the Holy Ghost!
I had to speak in Spanish branch yesterday!It was so cool because we had gotten a call from this random guy who said hi to us at Dollar General and he said he wanted to come to church!(That never happens) So we were waiting for him and Presidente Hernandez came up to me and asked me to speak for five minutes ...Lol. Scary. But I was calm and I prayed and I remember someone saying one time that if you have nothing to say, talk about the Atonement. And another time someone said to talk about the doctrine of Christ. So I did that!I talked about the doctrine of Christ and how we are now in the "endure to the end" stage which is like going back and doing the first four steps (faith, repentance, baptism, Holy Ghost). Then, I remembered how you always said get three main points, so I did!I said that there are three things we can to do help us do these first four steps and ultimately endure to the end-Go to church (take the sacrament), read scriptures as a family and personally, and pray as a family and personally!It was not the best talk I have given, but I must say that I am so grateful for the Spirit that guided me because I had scriptures and a few short experiences and it came out clear (at least in my head. Haha sometimes I think I'm speaking a totally different language) and I bore my testimony and sat down. I wasn't even that nervous!
As we were doing some finding/tracting this weekend it was not all a bust!We were able to find some really awesome potential investigators in Spanish, all because of referrals. The most fun was this cute young couple who we knocked on the door and she just let us right in!We taught probably the most unorganized and scattered lesson about the Restoration we have ever done but they were like way into it and wanted us to come back again. We had prayed all last week to find a humble young couple who are ready for the gospel in Spanish. And there we have it!God listens to our prayers. They were so sweet and asked a few questions and opened up a little bit to our crazy mas o menos Spanish lesson. It was funny because after the lesson, Hermana Moore and I both felt fine about it. We knew we should have prepared more for the lesson and been more direct with the commitments we set but we somehow still felt good about just meeting them!
This week we were sad to hear about the death of Sadie Wells, a missionary in Pennsylvania. She was a friend of Hermana Moore who died in a car accident. It was heart wrenching to think of her family and her companion and other missionaries in the car. Hermana Moore said she was an amazing person who radiated happiness!
I am again so grateful to be serving here. I am so blessed to have this knowledge of the Plan of Happiness,His doctrine. I am so grateful for my family and for my testimony and for the opportunity I have to share the things I know to be true with those I love in Arkansas!


Ev. Many are trying to quickly switch to virtual with training and contacting clients. We know that flexibility is a hallmark of working at nonprofits, so you are likely in better shape than other businesses might be.
With COVID migrating across CT, chances are that you may have a colleague who is sick or has a family member who is ill. As you learn to handle the new Emergency Paid Sick Lent into effect recently, remember that this will be stressful in so many ways for your colleagues. This Act extended sick and family leave into the world of organizations with under 50 employees, so get ready. The US Department of Labor (DOL) has more details on the act including eligibility, amounts and exemptions. Subsequent FAQ’s have been issued with more on the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA). These new rules apply for those who are sick or quarantined but not for non-affected employees of any entity which the government has closed due to the pandemic (ie gyms). The CDC has a great overview of various things to consider at your offices to keep safe those who do need to be physically present.
Making technology and remote working as broadly available as possible to all your staff, while also ensuring enhanced security on the technology you provide. Remote work is not just for senior management.
Updating your Human Resources/Employee Manual. If your policies don’t have a section on remote working and use of technology, add it now and inform your team. HR policies, such as confidentiality and codes of conduct, should be the same in remote work setups as in-office work.
Grant funding. As you know, if you have whole staff positions allocated to program grants, their tasks need to relate to the providing of a program. You should consider contacting your grant provider about changing your grant to a general operating grant which would allow you to reassign personnel to any activityopen to this kind of change, see here. Even if your grant provider won’t budge, you can try some of the program-related work ideas below.
Developing Staff Skills. As a supervisor, check your notes from your last round of employee evaluations or reviews and see what subjects your staffers were interested in learning – perhaps honing their accounting skills or technology skills. Your staffer might be able to enroll in a course and/or some educational materials might be available online for little/no charge.
Augmenting or revising your impact metrics systems for program-related staff. This is an ideal topic for team meetings and discussion using shared documents to build new concepts such as tracking success metrics over longer time periods, or researching what other agencies and grant-makers are excited about. This work would qualify as program-related, so you’d have to worry about changing staff allocations if your funding can’t be converted to a general operating grant.
Training colleagues on virtual technologies. For the staff or team member for whom all things techie seems easy, encourage them to do one-on-one tutorials with other staff on various platforms, whether that be Microsoft Team, Google Docs, Dropbox or Zoom. The training of program staff is often allowed in program grants so their time can be used for these activities and still be covered by your grant.
Social media upgrading and training. With more people trained on creating and posting content, your social media platforms can blossom, see here.
Contacting donors and development databases: Get caught up with your donors by updating records in your database. And one can always send out personalized thank you messages to donors.
Submitting grant applications: Now might just be a great time to broaden the team working on grant applications using document sharing technology.
Working from home can be isolating. Make sure to keep in contact with your colleagues who are remotely working on a frequency that works for both your schedules. Survey your staff and set up a weekly (or more frequent) check-in via a phone call or use one of the many free video applications online. Also, as a supervisor, set time boundaries on when you expect your remote working staffers to be available through a shared calendar. Be aware that virtual meeting technologies are new to many people and may require a bit of training to get started.
If yat such a rapid pace, and aren’t sure where to start, the iMission website haswhich Connecticut State DOL unemployment programs are best at this time to protect any staff you do have to furlough.

Who God is as triune ought to impact our understanding and practice of prayer. In the first week, I explained how our prayers should be generally directed to God two weeks ago and last week, we explored how Jesus intercedes for us. We explored this theme in both the Old and New Testaments. This week we continue our exploration of the Trinitarian foundation of prayer by answering the question, "What role does the Holy Spirit have in prayer?"
The burden of this point is to expound and explain what Paul means when he says, "our weakness." Based upon this passage, what exactly is it that Paul specifies we lack?How are we weak?What is it that we need from the Holy Spirit?
The first form of weakness that we have is the general difficulty of life. When you become a Christian, the Lord doesn't immediately take you to heaven. Rather, he keeps you here. And as you remain here on this earth, you struggle. The life is a battle, dear friends. It is a pilgrimage that at times is very hard and difficult. This is an experience that is common to all Christians. It's this general experience of pain that I take Paul to be referring to as our "weakness."
Now I want to show you where in the text I am getting this. Look at the very first word in v. 26. The ESV uses the word "likewise." If you don't have an ESV, your translation might say "likewise" or "in the same way." What this word indicates is that there is a logical connection between what Paul says regarding the Spirit's prayers for us in v. 26 and 27, with what Paul says in the previous section, with what Paul says before v. 26. What does Paul say in the previous section?
Take for example end of life issues. This is a dilemma that I am often times left not knowing what to pray. So you have an elderly saint who's health is deteriorating. You don't want them to die. Death is our enemy. So we naturally pray for physical healing. And yet we know that there is an inevitability to death in this life. If Jesus choses to tarry, saints will continue to die. We all will die one day if Jesus does not return. So in situations where you have an aging saint who is deteriorating, do you pray for their health to recover—only to have to delay the experience of death for another day—or do you pray for the Lord to take them—only for them to have to experience the pain of death?
Dear friends, the beauty of Christianity is this: what you need most is what God supplies abundantly. God supplies what you need. Y'all (that's a Southern word) God is generous. Really generous. To use a Midwestern term. Is God richly generous to us?You betcha. Listen to this verse from Philippians. Y'all remember that book?
What I want us to see first is the "but." Y'all, that is a life-giving word right there. That's a tremendous "but." "Buts" function to indicate contrasts. Paul's making a contrast here. What's the contrast?
Different translations render this phrase differently. The NIV reads,  KJV reads, "NLT reads, Quite a diversity of translations. What does this mean?
I take what Paul to be saying is this. In our weakness and ignorance, we don't know how to pray. We are left immobilized sometimes in our prayers lives. We are captured and arrested by our ignorance. Even though this is true, our ignorance does not prevent God's work in our lives. God is still working and moving in our lives. How does he do this?
For the Christian, three points of application. Remember that God is at work in you even if your can't feel it or perceive it. We all from time to time feel dry in our walks with Christ, don't we?

JAAS Systems Announces Retirement of Fred Szumlic December 15, 2016


Hey friends! It's Amanda from Twiddler's Nook and I'm super excited to be here featuring a really cool light up card with lots of great Lawn Fawn products!
Here's a look at the finished card before we dive into the process of creating it. Isn't it just too cute! We don't have fireflies where I live but I always thought it would be a really cool thing to be able to sit outside and watch them at night. So, I made a card thinking of that while I got inky. Let's get started!
To make things simple, I inked up all my panels at once with my distress oxide inks. After each panel was inked I smooshed the ink pads on my glass mat, spritzed it with water and then flicked the watered down ink on the panel for extra texture. this is a new favorite technique that I do pretty much every time I pull out distress inks to play with.
Once the panels were dry, here are the dies I used to cut each panel. The green from the bayou backdrop die, saving that large portion in the center to come back and cut the grass and cattails from later on. The brown was cut from a hillside border first and the same stitched rectangle as the peach panel after so they layered nicely. And last, the little pond die comes from the bayou backdrop set.
Next, I stamped, colored and die cut some cute fireflies from the Lawn Fawn Little Fireflies set. I thought it would be fun to have front-facing and not so I did a combination of both images.
Then, I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment from Little Fireflies on the lake piece. Then, using the frame and lake as guides, I stamped and heat embossed "press me" on the dirt hill where I want my button to be. This word stamp comes from the Lawn Fawn Push Here stamp set. It's great for lots of different types of interactive cards. Then I used liquid glue to adhere all of my layers together. Then I took a circle die that happens to come in the Little Fireflies set (for their glowing bottoms if you use that stamp) and cut 3 circles out of the background so the lights could shine through.
Next, using scrappy tape, I adhered the battery pack to the back of my card front so it lines up with the "press me" on the front. Then I used the same tape to adhere the lights in place over the holes. I flipped my card over, added the fireflies and then adjusted the lights a bit until they lit the fireflies up how I liked. Once there were perfect, I added a few more strips of tape to securely hold everything in place.
Finally, I added a double layer of foam tape to the back of my whole panel and added it to a white card base.
I know there is a lot going on but I just couldn't leave things the way they were. For finishing touches, I added black glaze pen to the eyes, Unicorn Stickles to the wings and glossy accents to their bums! I just think this is too funny and makes me smile!
Ta-da!!! Isn't this just the cutest ever?!? I am so extremely happy with how this fun card turned out! It's a good thing these batteries last a while because I keep playing with it on my craft desk.
I hope you found some inspiration to create something wonderful and don't be afraid to try light up cards. They are so much fun to create and to give!

At first it appears there is nothing unusual about Circus Starr. All the traditional ingredients are there – the big top, the ring master, the clowns and the acrobats – but this is a circus like no other.
Circus Starr exists to bring all the fun of the fair to children who might otherwise miss out on such simple pleasures. The Congleton-based charity was formed more than 20 years ago and is now run by South African director Neville Wilson, who really did run away to join the circus.
Every year more than £1.3m worth of tickets are paid for by businesses around the country who have established partnerships with Circus Starr and are given to young people in need.
