In another display of anti-democratic behavior, pro-Chavez Deputies blocked the possibility that the Director of its own economic Economic Office ask the Ministry of Finance any questions. This is not only undemocratic, but violates the regulations of the office itself that says that the office has voice but not vote in any legislative committee on all budgetary and financial matters. The Head of the Economic Office, Francisco Rodriguez, who has a Ph. D. from Harvard and was a Professor at the University of Maryland, was chosen for the position by the Chavistas when the former Head, Gustavo Garcia, became uncomfortable for the Government. While Rodriguez was sympathetic to the Chavez project initially, he has become a nuisance to the Chavistas with a stream of reports highly critical of the Government’s economic policies.

Worldwide flight cancelations and delays left thousands of travelers stranded for the holidays. The trend started on Christmas Eve and is still affecting airports across the world, with over 8,000 flights canceled so far. Major airline companies have pointed their fingers at bad weather and a surge of coronavirus infections as the reason for the travel woes.
On Christmas Eve, holiday plans were impacted by the worldwide cancelation of 2,401 flights. Flight plans continued to be impacted on Saturday with another 1,779 flights scrubbed and, according to FlightAware.com which tracks flight-related stats, Sunday finished out with a total of 3,274 cancelations.
These cancelations contributed to the delay of tens of thousands of other flights throughout the weekend, wwith no clear way home.
Enjoli Rodriguez was one of these weary individuals, after his original flight from Los Angeles to Kentucky was canceled. Rodriguez was instead routed to Detroit, but his new flight was delayed so long that he missed the connection that would have finished his itinerary.
“I’ve run into a lot of people sharing their horror stories here. We’re all just stuck in Michigan, Detroit, heading different places,” Rodriguez told Reuters on Sunday.
While flights into and out of the U.S. only made up about one-third of holiday cancelations, that ratio rose to almost half on Sunday. While domestic U.S. travelers may be frustrated with the cancelations and delays, White House officials tracking the problem” according to an anonymous Reuters source.
On Sunday, FlightAware.com shows that Delta canceled 7% of its flights, United Airlines canceled 5%, American Airlines scrubbed 2% of their flight plans, and Southwest only canceled 1% of flights. Delays from these major airlines, however, ranged anywhere from 20% to 34%.
While a Southwest spokesperson told FOX Business that their challenges came from “a variety of weather and air traffic congestion challenges,” other airlines have signaled that a surge in Covid-19 infections has impacted their holiday flight plans.
The Omicron variant of COVID-19, which has so far shown milder symptoms than other forms, has created a surge in U.S. infections. According to Reuters, coronavirus cases have risen 45% in the U.S. to reach a rate of 179,000 new infections daily. The Omicron variant now makes up for nearly three-quarters of these cases.
Airlines are currently still working to get stranded passengers connected with flights to their intended destinations.

Salmonella bacteria is a frequent cause of foodborne illness in Canada. Salmonella organisms are spread among birds by two routes: horizontal and vertical transmission.
Salmonella Enteritidis is the only one serotype that we know about that infects the hen’s ovaries and can be transmitted to the inside of the egg – this is called vertical transmission. Salmonella Heidelberg (SH)is a Provincially reportable disease because there has been one report published that indicates a possibility that SH is also transmitted from the ovaries to the egg.
Salmonella bacteria can move because they have flagellum (long tails). An egg shell has more than 17,000 tiny pours on its surface; if an egg is placed on a Salmonella-infected environment, or is soiled with manure or debris from the environment, the bacterium may move through the egg pores and infect not only the shell, but the egg contents – this is called horizontal transmission. Sources of Salmonella contamination for the egg include manure from carrier hens, feed, unclean equipment, human or other animals (rodents and insects). Most Salmonella stereotypes are horizontally transmitted. Salmonella Typhimirium DT104 horizontally transmitted and is a Provincially reportable disease because it is resistant to antibiotics and poses a significant human health risk.


With biometric authentication solutions popping up, how should we assure that user info is secure?
"Earlier, everything was password – you had a username and password – but the emerging trends are very clear. One is that people are moving to MFAs. They don't want to authenticate using a single factor, they want a password with an OTP plus maybe some other factor like a mobile-based authenticator."
"You're leaving a digital footprint when you do transactions, communicate, P2P communications, P2B communications, and shopping, and there are attributes associated with those digital footprints. There are a lot of trends where people are using these attributes to authenticate the identity of an end user, which is more frictionless when the end user doesn't want to remember passwords. From that perspective, the future of authentication is moving towards creating a process that end users don't have to be involved in."
"The biggest issue I see in biometrics is that it has a security flaw which is your password can be reset, but your biometrics cannot be reset."
"Another form of biometrics that is really picking up is behavioral biometrics. For example, you have a sensor in your phone that looks into your behavioral biometrics: How you're typing, whether you type 'E' with your right or left thumb, and how much pressure you're applying to the screen."
"A mobile number is the biggest unique identifier for a user. Everybody has a mobile number, and it's now associated with so many things. If you're able to verify that phone number with other attributes, and if you're able to then authenticate end-user basics, along with the biometrics, that will enhance the user experience while increasing security."
"It's not only about verifying a number from a telephone, but also to check if the SIM has been swapped in the last 24 hours, or if the transaction volume is higher. You can do multiple checks to establish verification, such as a contact match or name match. So, it has more to do with phone numbers and how you can use them to verify a user's identity, and that is frictionless – the user doesn't have to do anything."
It's important to extend identity security measures to everyone, including people in locations where affording a mobile phone is difficult. So how can we go about doing this?What are some real solutions to making mobile authentication a more inclusive process?
"If phones are actually penetrating into the rural parts of Nepal, Bangladesh, India, Nigeria, etc. I think it would make more sense for governments to fund these kinds of secure phones for any users, other than getting infrastructure parallel to the mobile ecosystem. Also, there are cheap phones available now."
"The most important thing is this process has to take place during the entire customer lifecycle. When you onboard a customer, you need to identify risk associated with that particular customer. At the same time, it needs to be rechecked time and time again. It can be every month, two months, three months, etc., but you need to reverify and keep on authenticating end users at every level so that you're able to provide better security, and at the same time a better user experience."


Yesterday we mentioned that Best Buy was going to be the exclusive supplier of the Nokia Booklet 3G netbook. The thing that many of us have been wondering is exactly how much the Booklet 3G would cost once it hit store shelves.
Reports are coming in today that the Booklet 3G has tipped up in the Best Buy inventory system with a price of $599.99 attached to it. The Booklet 3G is at its heart nothing more than a netbook like we already have on the market with the Nokia name attached to it.
The device sports an HD ready display, Intel Atom Z530 CPU, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3G connectivity, and HDMI out. Nokia is relying on its name drawing people to the device and I for one don’t see that happening. I bet we see the Booklet 3G either come down in price quickly or be discontinued.


Don Parrish is the Senior well respected rural issues oriented organization with 6,061,469 member families. We called Don after we read a Farm Bureau May 12 press release which stated, "Capitol Hill voices join call for EPA to ditch proposed Clean Water Act rule." "Hundreds of Republican and Democratic lawmakers are joining farmers, ranchers and other landowners in challenging EPA's recently proposed 'Waters of the U.S.' rule,. Published on April 21 in the Federal Register, the more-than-111,000-word 'Waters of the U.S.' proposed rule reflects EPA'" "The threat of ruinous penalties for alleged noncompliance with the Clean Water Act is also likely to become more common given the proposed rule's expansive approach. For example, the EPA's disputed classification of a small, local creek as a 'water of the United States' could cost as much as $187,500 per day in civil penalties for Wyoming resident Andrew Johnson."
"Where the Clean Water Act has previously defined [waters of the U.S.] as those that are navigable or are significantly connected to navigable waters, the proposed rule would include smaller waters and even some dry land in the definition of 'waters of the U.S.' " Source: What will actually be different under the proposed rule?
Patrick Cumbie is Manager of Pine Development at ArborGen, Inc., a " enhanced seedlings to the forestry industry." ArborGen operates seven SuperTree Nurseries in the U.S., including one in Selma, Alabama.
Seedlings from different genetic families appear to be the same when in the nursery, however, the stands they grow into are anything but identical. Today, landowners can choose among numerous levels of genetic categories. These “genotypes” and their associated productivity and financial gains differ widely and represent an important opportunity for landowners. Unfortunately, the choice of the type of seedling genetics is not a priority for many landowners due to a lack of education on the topic or a lack of confidence in how the trees will perform.
Family CP-1 [control-pollinated] was exhibiting a growth rate of 9.5 green tons/acre/year compared to the OP [open pollinated] families that ranged from 7.57 to 8.22. The combination of superior growth rate and high quality stems is the basis of the financial returns that are possible with control-pollinated trees. ... the CP-1 stands had higher volume per acre, have higher sawtimber potential and will generate much greater revenue at final harvest.
Control-pollinated seedlings clearlforest landowners willing to aggressively practice progressive forest management. With this analysis of realistic estimates of the validation of control-pollinated seedlings’ delivered value, and the continuous improvement in forest genetics, new control-pollinated plantations will likely exceed the estimates we have presented in this article.

because the “tremendous medical costs and disruption” would become a burden and distract armed services from “decisive and overwhelming victory.”
The announcement will reverse the Pentagon’s 2016 decision to lift the long-standing ban that had preventIt also falls in line with other measures and decisions the administration has made concerning the transgender community, including removing the LGBT rights page from the White House’s official site, rescinding public schools, and dropping“bathroom bill.”
This is an obvious leap backward ban will only enhance the existing problems that this country has when dealing with gender identity and the military.
A Financially Dubious Decision
In 2016, the Rand Corporation published a which the Department of Defense commissioned. The report concluded that annual anywhere from $2.4 million to $8.4 million–yielding. In total, those costs would amount to about a thousandth of a percent of the military’s annual budget. Some have said that their biggest concern is the use of taxpayer funding for expensive gender reassignment surgeries, which may not allow transgender soldiers to fight on the front lines. But according to the Rand report, The report’s authors recommended developing an explicit written policy on for the gender transition process to avoid any disruptions to service member and unit readiness.
Even if you choose to ignore the percent increase in costs and only focus on the total cost of military health care, it’s worth noting that U.S. military spending is high relative to the rest offollowing eight countries with the highest defense spending combined–an approximate $611 billion–and tmilitary spending by nearly $30 billion next year. The military spends about $50 billion on health care, which includes a few interesting expenses. For example, a Washington Post analysis foundut some in the House were still looking to remove gender reassignment surgery coverage from the military budget nonetheless, although that effort failed. In a way, proponents of such a change got what they were looking for and continued their crusade against denying health care to Americans.
The lives of underrepresented, and outright oppressed, citizens should not depend on whether or not they are willing to fight for their country, especially when that country does nothing to fight for them. The optimist will hope that this opens the door for more trans support from politicians, but unless it can score them political points, that probably won’t happen.

How are you? Here is the horoscope for the next two weeks when the full moon is in Aquarius Friday 12 August. It is the full moon of midsummer, a season of longing and shooting stars, making it a sort of “North Star” that indicates the direction some of our change initiatives are taking. Each has their own, but all have something in common: a desire to highlight and let shine (to use Mazzantini’s words) the “single, aching uniqueness” of each of us. We’ll talk a lot about it when we get close to the full moon, but I’m telling you right now that it’s going to be one of the most beautiful and intense of this year!
For the rest we then give Mercury Thursday 4th He will leave Leo to enter Virgo, to the delight of the earth signs and the water signs. And then Venus, leaving Cancer on August 11th to enter Leo, making happy the fire signs and the air signs, for which the summer of love is finally beginning! In short, it will be two weeks full of events and important changing of the guard! I’ve been thinking about doing a bi-weekly horoscope, because even the stars need a little vacation every now and then, and most importantly, we need to get into book writing!
Of course I’ll pop up on social media from time to time with surprising live shows and special content while the weekly horoscope restarts in early September! I just have to leave you to read the horoscope and thank you again for the love and attention you gave to make our appointment unique!
A hug and happy reading and happy summer everyone!

You are here: Home / Other / The Rising Sun: Obama Campaign Sues Online Retailer Claiming Trademark Infringement
President Obama VS. DemStore.com
With elections coming up at the end of the year everyone expects candidates and their campaigns to be all over television, but everyone may just be surprised at why President Obama’s campaign is in the news within recent days. The president’s campaign, Obama for America (OFA), is suing DemStore.com for trademark infringement.
The campaign claims that the online store is using trademarked icons to earn money for their company. Many people would wonder why the campaign wouldn’t want as much advertising as possible with an upcoming election, but statements from campaign workers fully explain what is going on.
In a complaint filed on June 1st OFA claimed that DemStore.com was selling merchandise bearing trademarked material, including the distinctive rising sun logo that is synonymous with President Obama’s campaign.
This is not the first time OFA has had a run in with this online retailer. This is actually the second lawsuit brought forth by OFA on the company. In October 2011 a similar lawsuit was brought forth with the same claims in a U.S. District Court in Illinois. The case was dismissed before any resolution due to a lack of jurisdiction. The current lawsuit also claims that they sent letters asking the respondent to cease and desist their violations, but the company did not comply with the request.
Alternatively, this could be something the OFA could settle through arbitration, but without cooperation from the parent company, that seems unlikely at this point.
Some are wondering why OFA is making an issue out of the situation. Many people would consider free advertising from the website a good thing during a campaign season, but the president’s campaign does not see it that way. By selling merchandise bearing presidential logos, DemStore.com is taking money away from the Obama campaign.
What the Campaign is Asking For
The campaign is also asking the court to award them money damages and is seeking further punitive damages due to their belief that DemStore.com was knowingly committing trademark infringement. This is all on top of the request to halt the website from producing further trademarked materials.
With the second lawsuit being filed in the correct jurisdiction this trial will most likely go forward. It is hard to believe that since the facts show that the symbols DemStore.com is using are trademarked that they will not end up on the losing end of this case.
Since the website sells shirts for $5.49 if a person purchases 500 shirts, with OFA selling them at thirty dollars, it is plausible that the campaign lost $15,000 on each order of this size by not receiving the orders that DemStore.com received. With such large losses being a possibility, if DemStore.com doesn’t win the case their company could likely be crippled.
I’m there with you! If I want to donate, I will, but buying shirts would make me feel bad about the purchase. I can barely spend $30 on slacks, let alone a t-shirt! LOL. Great to have you dropping in.
Dave, Financial Conflict Coach says
Absolutely. I think it will be very interesting to follow. My assumption was the logo is in the public domain because it belongs to a political campaign, a
Copyrights & Works by Government:
I think its interesting that the dems are traditionally supported by those that “live on the edge” financially, so asking them to buy a $30 T shirt does not make good financial sense. I guess they are hoping that their supporters will act more like the Government and not make decisions based on good financial sense.
gold account says
While that is funny… and ironic, the reality is that a campaign sells merchandise in order to make money for the campaign. That’s why we have intellectual property rights. That is why you can’t buy a CD, make 100 copies of it and sell them out of the trunk of your car.It is like you opening up a store selling “Make A Wish Foundation” merchandise. People will buy it because of the name, assuming that the foundation gets the money. Or you could setup a stand outside selling Special Olympics tee shirts in Manhattan and make a killing on them… you would certainly see how that is stealing, so too is using the Obama campaign logos.NoWhile generally I would agree, there are certain laws that might be in question here. Works of the US Government are considered in the public domain, and that is why there are so many question marks around this case.
Thanks for your thoughtful comment, but when it comes to works by government, the examples you cite are non-applicable. The real question is: is OFA considered a government entity.

At the peak of the committee structure, the Governing Body will retain responsibility for the annual plan, budget, long-term plan and monitoringgroup, and the port. It will be led by Mayor Brown and Deputy Mayor Desley Simpson. A mechanism will be developed in consultation on how it will participate in the annual plan, budget and long-term plan processes.
Given just how much went through some of these committees in the past, there does seem a risk that the ambit of the Planning, Environment & Parks committee could be too big – there’s a lot that falls under that umbrella. That said, I’m sure Richard Hills will do a fantastic job and Angela Dalton was also great in the last term.
At the same time, the Transport & Infrastructure committee could be too quiet. Last time a dedicated Transport Committee existed (under Mayor Len Brown) there was often a ‘make work to get enough items for an agenda’ feel to things.
Also, given the comments from Mayor Wayne Brown’s announcement, just what is the “change of approach” Auckland Transport is expected to have, and will that discussion be held by council as a whole?
Of note, here’s the formal list of responsibilities for these two Committees of the Whole.
I propose we appoint two councillors as directors of AT for a term of three years: Mike Lee and Andy Baker. This is permitted by our legislation and policies, and there are currently two vacancies on the AT Board (which has six directors and a maximum of eight directors).
We can appoint a director only if that person has, in the opinion of the council, the skills, knowledge or experience to guide thes 57(2) of the Local Government Act 2002).
Councillors appointed to the AT Board will receive director’s fees. I have proposed they receive an amount equal to the additional amount received by a Chair of a Committee of the Whole and that any amount received more than this is donated to charity. Both councillors I have put forward have agreed to this. This approach reflects the workload of these roles and ensures a degree of parity with other councillors.
Appointing councillors as directors will require careful management of some issues. I intend for protocols to be put in place to guide the roles.
One final thing to note about this Thursday’s meeting is an item about Council sponsors for light rail. The item points out that while in the last term the Mayor and Deputy Mayor were named as the Council’s sponsors for the project, it doesn’t have to stay that way.
While the Sponsors will work together to govern the programme, the Crown and Council will retain their specific decision-making rights within the programme. In Council’s case, this will include any necessary changes to land-use and intensification provisions in the Auckland Unitary Plan (in our regulatory capacity). Council also retains the ability to hold an independent position on the merits of Auckland Light Rail project.
There’s no recommendation to change from the light rail sponsors being the Mayor and Deputy, but it’s always possible. Of note, the one councillor with no formal position is Alf Filipaina, with Mayor Brown saying he would announce a role for him this week. Could this be it?
This feels like a recipe for disfunction. Who in their wisdom created this system (ignore that it doesn’t really mater now).
The trick is to keep the boundaries of Open and Closed matters in the right place for open government.
The committee that concerns me the most is the Performance and Appointments Committee. Arguably, Council’s biggest weakness has been the culture and processes around accountability and appointments. This group doesn’t immediately present as one which will attempt to stand up to the entrenched power holds of the governance system and transport sector, respectively.
With Fletcher involved, will it effectively be the Nimby committee?
Both of these people had fairly damming reviews of their performance pre election.
Alf Filipaina could well be the light rail guy with the Manukau ward & it’s people very much affected by this project.
Uhm, yeah, sometimes (hypothetical) offers are poisoned. I don’t know his stance on ALR, but he’d need to be pretty enthusiastic about it to want that position, I’d say.
Transport and infrastructure in the hands of backward-looking councillors Watson and Fletcher. We can expect fewer cycle paths, more congestion and cars/parking in the inner city. These appointments are set up for conflict with Hills/Dalton Planning and Environment.


FORMER COMMANDER, UAE AIR FORCE: The spending is really, it's up to us. One is defensive, one is security. And, you know, that we are in the -- in the hot spot of the air and -- and the globe, where it's really -- security is really a major issue in these countries. PERRY: Middle East nations have steadily increased defense spending from $77 billion in 2006 to $102 billion this year. The biggest buyer, Saudi Arabia, spending more than $40 billion on military equipment in 2009. Which is why here in Dubai, you see the newest in bunker busting bombs lined up to the newest in military aviation. Add to that the cutting edge of modern warfare, unmanned aerial drones. Riad Kahwaji works for a private company that advises the world's militaries on what they should buy. This week, he's working with Middle East nations, many of whom simply want to keep other countries in the region at bay. RIAD KAHWAJI, CEO, INEGMA: A strong, spirited defense to act as a deterrent against any threats from larger countries around them, for example, Iran. Iran is much bigger. They have a much bigger army. Their population is way much bigger. So they need something for a country like the UAE or Qatar or Kuwait, much smaller, population equal to a small province in Iran. So they need to have some kind of deterrence that would make -- make countries like Iran to think again. PERRY: Which is one reason the United States leads the world in selling military equipment. It's where business meets foreign policy. BRUCE S. LEMKIN, U.S. AIR FORCE: The policy piece comes in. We don't just do this in trying to sell as many things as we can. If we're not selling it, we're working with industry to get the right capabilities in the hands of our partners. And we work with the resdministration, on what are the objectives for the region and for the country. PERRY: For a region that finds itself under the gun, buying more guns seems to be a business worth enormous growth potential. Cal Perry, CNN, Dubai. (END VIDEO TAPE) FOSTER: Let's get back to the big talking point, then, across the Northern Hemisphere right now, and that is the -- what are they calling it, the Arctic freezeexactly. That's what it is. And it's all across the Northern Hemisphere, all the way to Miami. Now, I was looking particularly at airport activities. And I find that Great Britain is the worst spot in the world right now. I'm going to show you a little bit of Gatwick. Also, I want you to know that -- OK, look at that. With those pictures, do you think that there are going to be normal operations there? Also, do airports have the capability of bringing things back to normal with so much snowfall? We're talking about almost half a meter in many spots. Now, when you compare that with Heathrow, Heathrow was in better shape. But because the weather was a little bit kinder, even though it's not so far away from this, Gatwick Airport. They got a little bit less snow. Now, Southern England, as we were saying, all the way to Southampton on the coast, I have some airports here. Excessive delays, Gatwick, Dublin, Belfast, Aberdeen, London Heathrow, Bristol, Amsterdam, Dusseldorf, Berlin, Warsaw. Then some have some more delays, not excessive, but significant -- Edinboro, Glasgow, Manchester, New Castle, Zurich, Geneva, Nice, Marseilles, Toulouse and Madrid -- just to name a few. So will the cold snap continue? Yes, indeed. You see that? So people gathered in Nottingham because of the bad weather. The schools closed down. So plan ahead. I'm going to tell you one thing. There's another system on its way that it's going to bring bad weather. I'm not talking about the north only. I'm talking about areas like in Italy, because we're going to see a repetition of what we saw last week. So from Spain all the way to the Baltics. London Heathrow, excessive delays for tomorrow; Amsterdam, Paris, also. France, watch out, because it's -- whatever happened in Great Britain is ascending into France now. Temperatures way below average, even by eight degrees. This is what I was telling you. Look, this is coming down here in England and then it's bringing from Britannia into Champagne and into Norma -- Normandy, as well, some significant snow -- 10 centimeters, 15, even 25. What about the Alpine Region? Even more of it -- Torino, Genoa, all the way into the Austria section, Switzerland. Look -- look how it expands in here. That's the low that is coming from Spain. The same thing we saw last week. Another low came from Spain, rose into the Alpine Region and goes into the Balkan Peninsula. And temperatures plunge again through Saturday. Some advice -- you know, the only thing you can do is pray for some patience. More coming up FOSTER: Now, few of us have a job for life these days. But in Hong Kong, one man has spent half a century in his chosen profession and he obviously loves every moment of it. For our World At Work series, Eunice Yoon went behind the scenes of the opera. (BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) (MUSIC) EUNICE YOON, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): With its clashing symbols and dissonant tones, the sounds of Cantonese opera are unmistakable. Franco Yuen has entertained audiences here in Hong Kong for over 50 years. "I first started playing in a Chinese opera when I was seven, but it wasn't until 16 that I decided to choose Chinese opera as my lifelong career," he tells me. "It was so hard in the first three years of training. I had to practice a lot of basic skills, like body training, to get used to wearing those heavy costumes and learn martial arts." (MUSIC) YOON: Yuen also had to master applying the opera's distinctive red and white makeup. "Each character has a different face," he says. "Some people need to learn more styles if they play more roles. Of course, we have different makeup for young or old characters. We have to lead the audiences into different situations and environments, bright or dark, smoky or under the water. It's all fake, so we have to convince them that we're having all these experiences." After 50 years, does he still find his job rewarding? "The thing I'm most grateful for is the art itself is being recognized and that I could spread the spirit of Chinese culture. That's what makes me proud to be a Chinese opera actor. (MUSIC) (END VIDEO TAPE) FOSTER: Wonderful now. It's a brand new year and your investment portfolio is, we hope, looking healthier than at this time last year. But plenty of risks to the economy remain and jobs have yet to return. CNNMoney.com's Poppy Harlow has been weighing up the outlook for 2010Despite the worst recession in modern history, 2009 was a boom year for the stock market. But when it comes to the real economy, namely, your home and your job, there's still a lot of uncertainty about 2010. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I think my greatest financial worry for next year is just keeping my head above water. Costs are going up. Incomes are not. They're flat or they're going down. And I don't see any immediate relief in sight. HARLOW: The 2009 recovery effort was marked by massive government aid -- TARP, the government's bank bailout plan; stimulus spending and Fed action to keep mortgage rates low. But as the government pulls back its unprecedented financial support, some economists worry about what may lie ahead I think it's a little riskier for the markets in 2010. There will be a lot more angst simply because the government'

"We have reached an understanding that the House will take up (the bill) on Sept. 21 or 22," Moran said, adding that the agreement "presumably" includes House passage without any amendments. "That is exactly what we're looking for."
"This committee has been trying to work with the Senate for six months on comprehensive veteran suicide prevention legislation, and after promising staff-level conversations, we're pleased to hear they're committed to moving forward with meaningful improvements to help reduce veteran suicide and help prevent veterans from falling into crisis," he said. "I look forward to speaking with Chairman Moran directly, since we haven't had that opportunity yet, and discuss further his commitment to pass the House's bipartisan additions to S.785. As we will hear today, there are much needed improvements to strengthen S.785 and fully meet the needs of our veterans."
"I think we have a pathway, a very good pathway," he said. "It's my hope we will find a way to an agreement to move forward with both of our pieces of legislation and I think we can do that in the time remaining ...I think we're close, we're very close. It's not correct to say there's no agreement, but we still have some final touches. I think we have a pathway there."

<issue_comment>username_0: Some additional infos: A minute just before the restart I made a reboot today. Unfortunatelly this may indicate thath the reboot may have lead to this restart. But in the last days & weeks the restarts occured without reboot, too. If I should provide the log files again after a restart without former reboot, let me know
<issue_comment>username_0: ok this is frustrating. Now the internal dns resolution seems to have stopped working. I close this issue and try K3Sdit the raw jsonb attribute?
username_0: I have a low level ActiveAdmin dashboard that only devs can use and it'd be nice in some cases to just edit the raw `json_attributes` jsonb field with a large text area input, but I can't figure out the proper way to do that without breaking something else (and I couldn't find documentation / prior issues regarding how to do that). Is it possible to do ! That was part of the design goal of this library to begin with. The json attribute column is the primary canonical source of info used by this gem -- you should be able to just edit it.
Have you tried it and had problems? Can you, and let us know?
The `json_attributes` column does already include ruby/model objects in it instead of json -- if you want the serialized json version, just call `to_json`, say `model.json_attributes.to_json`.  You can set `model.json_attributes=` with a value that is a pure json-able hash or a hash that includes ruby/model objects, either way should work fine.  You can also directly edit just elements, like `model.json_attributes["some_key"] = whatever`.
Are you having difficulties?
I will also say that this goal -- to let you edit the json attributes column directly completely transparenty and have it just work -- has been coming into conflict with other people's desire to have the rails attributes synchronization ALSO just work transparently. If you are using the rails attribute wrappers, and you do edit the json attribute directly -- the rails attributes might get out of sync.
These two goals kind of contradict each other. A future version of attr_json may make some different choices there, although I'll do my best to make migration smooth. I also can't promise there will ever be such a future version, but I've been thinking about it, and ways to get rails attribute sync to work better.
<issue_comment>username_0: Sorry for now providing specifics, here's what I'm doing:
I wanted to test if I could just do `model.json_attributes=` with a raw json, so I did the following:
irb> ip.json_attributes_json
  "strategy": "#<InventoryPromotionStrategy::GroupedPromotionStrategy:0x00007f9a91044498>"
OK, so the `json_attributes` has Ruby objects on it like you said, so I called `json_attributes_before_type_cast` and it gave me:
    "type": "",
    "//": "redacted"
Which I'm guessing does the same thing as `.to_json` (sorry, I can't check exactly what to_json does atm).
When I tried to assign this via `model.json_attributes` and save, I got
AttrJson::Type::PolymorphicModel::TypeError: This AttrJson::Type::PolymorphicType can only include {InventoryPromotionStrategy::SimplePromotionStrategy,
Perhaps the issue is with Polymorphic records? Here's my declaration
  STRATEGY_CLASSES = [

   ,
  attr_json :strategy, AttrJson::Type::PolymorphicModel.new(*STRATEGY_CLASSES)
<issue_comment>username_1: Hmm, might be a bug in the Polymorphic classes of some kind.  Thanks for reporting it!
I can try to look at it, but if you have time to help out, it would speed up the process!
If you could try it without the polymorphic type, and see if it works fine?
Then, especially if it does, if you could make a failing test case that could be PR'd to attr_json, demonstrating what I'm tentatively calling a bug with regard to this behavior and the polymorphic type?
The polymorphic classes are somewhat "experimental" -- hopefully if it's a bug it will be easy to fix, not some flaw in the whole design!
<issue_comment>username_1: It's also possible I'm totally wrong about it working with plain non-polymorphic models! Curious what you discover, if youCreated PR #123
<issue_comment>username_0: FYI I love polymorphic nested models, and there are certainly very valid use cases for them. As referenced in my pseudo code above, I have an ActiveRecord object with a polymorphic "strategy" class that have completely different structures from each other, and in the absence of polymorphic nested models I'm not sure how to model it.

When you produce reports in R, you will want your numbers to appear all nicely formatted to enhance the impact of your data on the viewer. You can use format() to turn your numbers into pretty text, ready for printing. This function takes a number of arguments to control the format of your result. Here are a few:
In addition, you can control the format of the decimal point with decimal.mark, the mark between intervals before the decimal point with big.mark, as well as the mark between intervals after the decimal point with small.mark.
> format(12345.6789, digits=9, decimal.mark=",",
+   big.mark=" ",small.mark=".", , small.interval=3)
Notice that the result is no longer a number but a text string.
If you’re familiar with programming in languages similar to C or C++, then you also may find the sprintf() function useful, because sprintf() is a wrapper around the C printf() function. This wrapper allows you to paste your formatted number directly into a string.
> sprintf
To format some numbers as currency — in this case, U.S. dollars — use the following:
As you saw earlier, the literal %3.2f means to format the value as a fixed point value with three digits before the decimal and two digits after the decimal.
The sprintf() function is a lot more powerful than that: It gives you an alternative way of pasting the value of any variable into a string:
> sprintf
[1] "bread costed $ 2.10 "  "cookies costed $ 4.00 "
What happens here is that, because you supplied two vectors (each with two elements) to sprintf(), your result is a vector with two elements. R cycles through the elements and places them into the sprintf() literals. Thus, %s (indicating format the value as a string) gets the value “bread” the first time and “cookies” the second time.
You can do everything with paste() and format() that you can do with sprintf().

- Angie’s List recently rejected IAC’s acquisition offer for a cash-only deal.
Media and Internet holding company IAC (NASDAQ:IACI) completed another successful spin-off when Match Group Inc (NASDAQ:MTCH) went public two weeks ago. IAC’s chairman Barry Diller's business strategy is to acquire small and promising companies to maximize their potential while gaining market share, and then once they reach their peak, they are either sold or spun-off as newly traded public companies. That was the case with Priceline (NASDAQ:PCLN), Expedia (NASDAQ:EXPE), TicketMaster, LendingTree Inc (NASDAQ:TREE), HSN (NASDAQ:HSNI), and Match Group. Now, the holding company is eyeing the crowd-sourced reviews market.
As the crowd-sourced review market is rising, social networks like Angie’s List and Yelp are popular acquisition targets by the Internet and social services companies. Most recently, Angie’s List rejected IAC’s offer to acquire the company for a share price of $8.75 in cash, which represented a 10% premium above the stock price. At first, it seemed odd that Angie’s List rejected the offer after the company had looked for a buyer for a long period; however, from the shareholder perspective, it was worth their while as the stock price has hiked around 30% since the offer was received and rejected, as shown in the chart below.

At the end of a farce, neither Jacob Wilson nor Elaine Ma benefited.
Elaine Ma wanted money, but in the end she didn’ Loreen heard the news, she danced happily.
When Charlie Wade’s family was busy packing things, Wilson’s family was just jumping around.
La’s house, and the incident stung Christopher.
Let him realize that Lady WIlson is really selfish.
She had always been selfish before, considering her own interests. Once Jacob Wilson was better for her, she would abandon herself and prefer Jacob Wilson.
So when he got home, he told Mrs. Wilson that she would transfer the 1.21 million that sold furniture to himself.
He felt that Lady Wilson might abandon herself at any time, so he had to make plans early, at least to get some money in his hands?
It is impossible to expect him to make progress and make money.
Daughter Wendy is a canary again. She doesn’t touch the sun with two fingers. She can’tn’t know about Wendy’s troubles, it’She is a legal person of the Wilson Group. If she has money and does not return the bank, not only will the bank seal up her house, she will even be sued and arrested.
In that case, it’s me who is unlucky, and it is me who is in jail.
Christopher!

As soon as these words came out, Harold and Wendy immediately became dissatisfied.

“Yes, grandma!” , “I don’Lady Wilson’s voice changed, sharp and scary.
She didn’’s hearts.
In the end, Lady Wilson only used 50,000 Dollar as the living expenses of the family of four, and the rest was all returned to the two banks that owed money.
After the bank received this part of the repayment, the person in charge of the collection department also gave Lady Wilson a lot of face, saying that the debt could be extended appropriately to give the Wilson family a chance to breathe.
She is still counting on the Wilson Group to come back to life. As long as the bankruptcy can be delayed, she may have a chance.
Maybe when the next Chairman Wilson will come out?
Compared with Lady Wilson who is full of longing and anticipation, Christopher is very depressed.
Lady Wilson kept only 50,000 Dollar for the furniture, and the 50,000 Dollar was still in her own hands.
Christopher felt dry and uncomfortable, but there was no other way. He could only endure it in his heart, and at the same time racked his brains to study where Lady Wilson would hide the antique left by the old man.

Since the furniture is newly bought, there is no need to carry any large items when moving. The four people each packed their clothes and supplies, and then packed the tableware and kitchenware. They found a truck and pulled them all at once. .
Charlie Wade was in a particularly good mood, because when he was tidying up the bedroom, he deliberately asked Claire Wilson Wilson if he wanted to put the blanket roll he used to lay on the floor.
After the truck arrived at Thompson First’Then, a family of four began to clean up their rooms.
In his words, he wanted to separate from Elaine Ma.
Elaine Ma didn’tit’s a pleasure to be separated.
If they can all want to open up, then the future will be better.
When Charlie Wade and Claire Wilson Wilson were about to pack up, Loreen also took a taxi.
She didn’t .
Charlie Wade hurriedly went out and saw Loreen who had been specially dressed up.
In fact, Charlie Wade felt a little helpless in his heart. He knew that Loreen liked him. However, now she suddenly moved over to live under the same roof with herself, which really made him a bit uncomfortable.
“Okay.”’s bedroom.
Loreen also followed in, feeling sweet in her heart.
In her opinion, she will be able to get closer to Charlie Wade in the future, no matter whether she can be with Charlie Wade in the end, as long as she can get closer to him, she will be very satisfied.
After all, in her heart, Charlie Wade is not only the object of her secretCharlie Wade, so that she would be satisfied.
As for whether the two will develop, it depends on the relationship between him and Claire Wilson Wilson.
If the two are always a false marriage, then oneself will naturally have to fight for it, but if the two have a real relationship, then one can definitely not grab the husband of her girlfriend.
“Very good.” Charlie Wade replied smoothly.
When Loreen heard him say that there was no change, she felt more at ease. It is estimated that Claire Wilson Wilson and Charlie Wade are still sleeping in separate beds, which proves that the two of them still have no breakthrough.
The message was all kinds of admiration, catering, mansion is.
After all, no one thought that Elaine Ma could live in a top-notch villa of more than one hundred million Dollar, which is beyond the understanding of her by everyone who knew her.
At this time, the Wilson family was boiling cabbage around a pot of duck racks, eating bitter tears.

Microchimera (4)
Inspired by the personal journey of witnessing a child grow from birth through childhood, the imagery in the series (micro)chimera utilizes photographs of an evolving body and drawings by my daughter, from her first mark-making to the sophisticated and complex imagery from art classes in school.
The self-portraits seek to document the experiences of two individual who are in fact part of one another. Historical processes associated with science, observation, and craft are incorporated in these images to reinforce the significance of woman as creator, family historian, and nurturer.

Veterinarian John Peirce created a stir among cow-calf readers of BEEF magazine last fall when he chastised the job cowmen were doing in the health preparation of the calves he was seeing at AzTx Cattle Co. feedyard in Garden City, KS.
The story back at the ranch, however, seems to be differ7 of bovine practitioners who are BEEF readers. Of the 50 practitioners who responded, most thought the state of today's calf health is actually unchanged or has improved over the past 10-year period.
These weren't neophytes with shallow perspectives, either. Almost 60% had 20-plus years of experience as practitioners, and another 22% had 11-20 years of experience (Figure 2). Just short of 80% of respondents were engaged in primarily the cow-calf sector (Figure 3).
“I think there's a general feeling at the producer level that calf health is declining,” says Dave Sjeklocha, a feedlot consulting veterinarian based in Sublette, KS, with clients in four states — Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. But, he adds, that impression isn't one generally shared on the practitioner side.
He says severe and ongoing drought in some parts of the country could be gassing up the impression in producers' minds of a declining status in overall calf health.
Poorer body condition in dams not only impacts calf vitality, but colostrum quality as well, he points out. Plus, there's the added factor of a stable to shrinking cowherd that's aging and thus potentially losing some of its mothering capability.
Dave Dargatz is a DVM and beef cattle specialist with says much more will be known on calf-health trends in June when NAHMS rolls out the results of its Beef 2007-2008 Study. Based on data collected from producers in 24 states and representing more than 80% of beef-cow operations, it will provide the latest national estimate of disease prevalence and other factors related to the health of U.S. beef cattle (see “Study due in June,” page 8).
Cited as reasons for an improved pre-weaning calf-mortality status were better cowherd health programs, improved management expertise, improved cow and calf vaccination programs, better cowherd nutrition and improved use of genetics. Cited as factors for increased pre-weaning calf mortality were poor cowherd nutrition and health programs, lack of management/management expertise, inappropriate use of genetics and inappropriate cow and calf vaccination programs.
Those claiming a decrease in post-weaning calf morbidity cited improved management expertise, cow and calf vaccination programs, cowherd health, cowherd nutrition and use of genetics. Those respondents indicating increased post-weaning calf morbidity cited cowherd nutrition, inappropriate calf and cow vaccination programs, substandard cowherd health and a lack of management/management expertise as causes.
Also interesting is that the results were largely the same across all seven geographic sectors of the study (Figure 4). The Central and Northern Plains, the South and Southwest and the Corn Belt made up about 80% of respondents' locations, however.
While 50 respondents present an interesting snapshot and a suitable preface to this special issue on calf health, a full mural will be painted in June whe

If you’re as obsessed with pin art as we are, you’ve probably noticed how many awesome Instagrammers are showing off their pin game in 2019 already. There are countless amazing artists and curators out there flexing their creative pin art muscles on social media, so it was hard to choose only a few of our favorites.
Here at The/Studio, we can appreciate a beautiful pin photo shoot. Here are just a few of the best pin pics we found on the internet so far this year.
The PinPongCo Fortune Cookie Pin
The PinPongCo Instagram account can offer you countless photos of pin inspiration you can use to create your own pin with The/Studio. One of our favorites on this account is the fortune cookie pin. This cute accessory can show off your love of Chinese food, cookies or future predictions, all in one little pin.
The designer added a small rounded background so the pin shape became a simple oval. However, this background doesn’t compromise the integrity of the lines and art. Muted and bright colors in the same shade of yellow and beige were used so this pin would be easy to match on an outfit, tote bag or other canvas. This shape and these colors also make the pin easier to stand out on a lapel.
The lapelpins__gsjj Beagle Pup Pin
If you’next pin art design, check out the lapelpins_gsjj Instagram account. Some of these designs use geometric shapes and different color variations to make graphics pop. The beagle pin is one of our favorites at The/Studio because the geometric shapes add a unique edge to the pin.
ShopMiVida Dia de Muertos Inspired Enamel Pin
ShopMiVida takes artful pics of the best pin designs in 2019. These pins are unique because they use fun sayings and interesting fonts to entice the eye. The muted colors – including light green, teal and soft pink – accentuate the cute graphics of these enamel pins and make the gold and silver outlines and lettering really stand out.
Little Shop of Gore “The Birds” Pin
Want to design something a little different? This enamel pin shop has just the inspiration you need. Take a look at their “The Birds” pin and you’ll be chock-full of ideas for your own design, whether you’re leaning toward a movie-inspired pin or not.
The Mosh Potato Pride Pin
The pins from The Mosh Potato are all celebrations of color and whimsy, but the pin that does it best is their limited edition Pantone enamel pride pin. There’s no better way to do justice to the amazing color potential of an enamel pin than with this rainbow-tastic pin with a positive message.
The Studio Cult Co MS Paint Pin
These quirky pins feature a perfect balance of irony, edge, and nostalgia. Bringing the vaporwave aesthetic to classic pop culture images any 90’s kid would recognize, The Studio Cult never fails to surprise. We especially love the big, bold presence of their MS Paint enamel pin.
The BObTO Designs Paper Jet Pin
We love the sharp, clean angles and popping colors of BObTO Designs’ enamel pins. Their paper jet plane is the perfect example of these features, bringing out the best of enamel pin art.
The PSA PRESS Rainbow Column Pin
The Tokyo Pins Ramen Bowl Pin
There is so much to love about everything on Tokyo Pins’ account. Their pins play with shape, texture, and color to represent Japanese and Tokyo culture with iconic images. Our favorite has to be the Ramen Bowl Pin, which blends mediums to make for a truly original pin. With two separate sections connected by a gold “ramen” chain, this pin is a compliment magnet for sure.
Holly Oddly’s The Shining Pins
All the pins from Holly Oddly combine sharp wit and elegance with pop culture references anyone would love. Nothing represents this better than the Bob’s Burgers/The Shining mashup enamel pins, like this one featuring a Burger-fied Danny Torrance in his iconic Apollo 11 sweater.
These are only a small handful of the talented and amazing enamel pin artists you can find on Instagram. And now that you’re feeling inspired by these fun themes, bright colors and cool designs, it’s time to make your own.

Differential image motion monitors (DIMMs) have become the industry standard for astronomical site characterization. The calibration of DIMMs is generally considered to be routine, but we show that particular care must be paid to this issue if high-accuracy measurements are to be achieved.
In a side by side comparison of several DIMMs, we demonstrate that with proper care we can achieve an agreement between the seeing measurements of two DIMMS operating under the same conditions to better than ±0.02 arc sec. © 2007 Optical Society of America Full Article | PDF Article

Pixel scale is measured using binary stars.
The stellar images are centered around the middle of the CCD window and are also aligned along the rows of the CCD. The telescope can position the target to within a couple of pixels and there are no significant tracking errors, i.e., the tracking errors are less than a pixel, during an exposure. The window size easily accommodates the two stellar images in both height and width (separation).
We use the same window height at all sites, so exposure time is the same.
The centroiding box is 5 pixels wide including the central pixel. The central pixel is set to the brightest pixel in each stellar image.

The Hands-On Pet Grooming Gloves – The all in one bathing, shedding and grooming gloves!
When it comes to grooming your pets, there is nothing like laying your hands upon their furry coats. With the Hands-on Pet Grooming Gloves, you can lay your hands upon them and remove those unwanted shed hairs before they end up all over your home.

To make your job easier, these gloves work on either a dry or wet surface, meaning you can bathe your pet and still use these gloves to remove unwanted shed hairs. Your pet will love the gentle action of the soft bristles in the gloves which will feel more like a comforting massage rather than a hard brush. Don’t be surprised if your pet begins to purr and fall asleep while you are at it. With these gloves, you are fully in control and you determine the amount of pressure you want to apply to different areas of your pet’s body. Using a glove instead of a brush is also very ergonomic for the user allowing you to reach tight body contourshe gloves are made of high strength material that is guaranteed to last and will not crack or tear and is both lightweight, comfortable to wearIn addition to household pets, the gloves can also be used to bathe and groom larger animals such as horses.


The development and release of an ovum (egg) from a follicle within an ovary. During the 1st half ova to mature in the ovary. At mid-cycle, luteinizing hormone (LH) causes 1 ripe ovum to be released. Signs of ovulation include a rise inand sometimes mild abdominal pain (see mittelschmerz). A yellow mass of tissue called the corpus luteum, which forms from the follicle after ovulation, releases progesterone during the 2nd half of the cycle. After its release, the ovum travels along the fallopian tube and, if fertilization does not occur, is shed during menstruation. Regular menstruation usually means that ovulation is occurring, except around puberty and approaching the menopause.

dragon’s horde against necromancers and wizards look all in a day’s work.
Most people know Martinez for his novel THE AUTOMATIC DETECTIVE, which Greyback in Blue is based on. Like Wizard Bait, this story is one of the best examples of Martinez’s subtle fantasy while also showing his genre flexibility. I’m a sucker for detective types (The Doctor, House M.D., Sherlock Holmes) so characters like Mack and Joe are natural favorites. I only wish Joe had gotten the girl, as creepy and flawed as she was.
My Dinner with Ares (based on DIVINE MISFORTUNE) does what many writers in the fantasy genre do—take on the gods and bend them to our will. But Martinez does this in a way that’s unique. He makes them boring, like us mortals. That they happen to have incredible power is like being born with a talent for fruit cake baking—not a curse, exactly, but not a blessing, either.

Although he grew up in East Anglia, Richard was heavily influenced by America. He visited American bases, kept magazine cuttings and followed drag racing. The speed, lifestyle and technicolour are reflected in his imagery. "American" colour is a major aspect to Richard’s work, it drives his equipment and material choices.
At the age of ten he began participating in art shows, becoming comfortable with showing his work and the praise and criticism which is part of an artist’s development. In his professional career he has been lucky enough to exhibit his work in museums and public galleries since the 1980s.
