Your Guide to Any-Weather Golf
Golf is a never ending game, as is the weather. So with the right apparel, you can be prepared for anything mother nature throws your way.
We want to help give you the upper hand for your next round…rain, wind or shine.
What To Look For In Rain Gear
There are various types of outerwear technology to help combat rainy weather. To decide what best fits your needs – please consider the region(s) you live in and play in, the frequency of play and the severity of the weather. Rain gear made especially for golf will not hamper your ability to move freely. Another important factor is the versatility of the rain gear you need – Is it easily stored? Lightweight? Breathable? Warm? Easy to put on/take off during your game? Our guide to assist you in acquiring the right gear is simplified by the categories shown below.
Water resistant technology doesn't have an exterior coating and has unprotected seams, but it is more breathable than waterproof technology.
Waterproof technology has sealed seams and a protective exterior coating, but is less breathable.
Examples of water resistant technology are:
- ClimaProof Rain from adidas
- Air-Flow from IZOD
Finish Examples of waterproof technology are:
- ImpermaLite from Mizuno
- GORE-TEX® Paclite
- FlexVent
To see a full list of outerwear technology, visit our easy to use glossary for more information.
What To Look For In Wind Gear
Points to consider when shopping for wind gear include the construction of the garment, lined or unlined and the amount of wind protection you need to play comfortably. For instance is a pullover appropriate for the light wind conditions you play in or would a high collar, zip front with storm flap and toggle close hem suit your needs better for stronger winds. Also consider the temperature – unlined and short sleeves for mild to warm weather or lining with long sleeves for cooler weather. For most players – it is a mix and more than one garment is needed for the different seasons and weather conditions.
An unlined pullover is appropriate for light wind conditions. The fabric is more breathable and works well for warmer weather.
A full-zip jacket with a mesh or fleece lining and adjustable sleeve cuffs and toggle close hem provides protection from gusty to strong winds.

Layers is the Way to Go
Layering is the way to go for those 'iffy' days on the golf course! You'll want to have several different combinations that adapt to changing weather conditions. Today's sportswear is travel and storage friendly with many layering pieces being weather resistant. Layering allows you to add or take off until you reach your comfort zone.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Three people have been charged with first-degree murder in connection with Thursday's shooting death of business leader Phil Trenary, the Memphis Police Department announced shortly before midnight Saturday.
McKinney Wright Jr., 22, Quandarius Richardson, 18, and Racanisha Wright, 16, have been charged with first-degree murder in perpetration of attempted robbery and attempted especially aggravated robbery.
According to an arrest warrant, Richardson was a suspect early on in the investigation after he was seen driving in a white truck away from the scene of Trenary's killing Thursday night. Witnesses said a person got out of that truck, fired at Trenary from behind, then sped away.
Richardson was one of two people taken into custody after a high-speed police chase that began in Frayser and ended in a wreck in South Memphis on Friday morning. Two other drivers were injured in that wreck, which tore the white truck in half.
Richardson was being held on $500,000 bond on several charges including evading police and auto theft. He is set to face a judge Monday.
During the investigation, Richardson allegedly told police that he, McKinney Wright Jr. and Racanisha Wright were driving around downtown discussing possible robbery targets when they spotted Trenary.
All three waived their Miranda rights and confessed, according to police.
Trenary, president and CEO of the Greater Memphis Chamber of Commerce, was gunned down Thursday night on Front Street near his downtown home as he walked from a Chamber-sponsored event. He had previously been CEO of Pinnacle Airlines and was a tireless advocate for Memphis.
He was found unresponsive in the street about 7:30 and pronounced dead around 8 p.m.
The mugshot for Racanisha Wright, a juvenile, was not available.

Kenyan Government to establish special zones for livestock production for export
The Kenyan government has announced plans to establish 50 special zones, technically known as feedlots, for production of livestock for the export market.
According to President Uhuru Kenyatta, the new initiative will be done in collaboration with strategic partners with the aim of mitigating against climate change and saving farmers from the losses they incur during drought.
Kenyatta, "This approach is expected to mitigate against climate change; and to ensure production of quality livestock for local consumption and export. To raise the quality of livestock and meat for local and export markets, my Administration will establish 50 feedlots through strategic partnerships and private investors."
He says the feedlots will be established in various parts of the country and will be spread to cover regions with heavy livestock populations as well as those that are affected the most during drought.
The head of state was speaking at the Jamhuri Showground in Nairobi on Thursday when he presided over the official opening of the 2018 Livestock Breeders Show and Sale, which traditionally, precedes the Annual Nairobi International Trade Fair which is scheduled for early October.
The President said the feedlot initiative is part of the broad livestock value chain improvement programme which is being implemented by the government and partners.
Among other key components, the livestock value chain improvement programme encompasses provision of comprehensive insurance cover for livestock and the provision of top quality and adequate semen through liquid nitrogen plants established in various parts of the country including Meru, Sotik, Kirinyaga and Eldoret.
President Kenyatta,"My Administration has an insurance programme for cushioning farmers against livestock losses caused by drought. This year we expect to cover 110,000 livestock, thus protecting 22,000 households."
He says the government is working on ensuring that farmers have access to quality and affordable livestock input as well as improved markets.
President Kenyatta expressed satisfaction with the quality of the breeders' show which is now attracting farmers and stakeholders beyond the East African region to include COMESA and SADC regions.
President Kenyatta,"If it is true that the objective of the Livestock Breeders Show and Sale is to showcase superior livestock and livestock products, and the most effective farming methods, then I must say that this objective has been met."
The President was accopmanied by Nairobi Governor Mike Mbuvi Sonko and Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Mwangi Kiunjuri.

Discharge Planning
Ongoing Research - Discharge Planning
Discharge planning is become increasingly important as the average time that patients stay in hospital declines. iCAHE has developed a number of tools designed for patients, carers, community service staff, medical practitioners and residential care staff. Whilst the focus of iCAHE is on allied health these tools are relevant across a range of disciplines and fields, and are suitable for most hospital discharge facilitations and post-discharge assessment
iCAHE researchers have developed five congruent, interlinked but independent survey instruments which assess the quality of discharge planning from different stakeholders perspectives (medical practitioners, residential care administrators, community service providers, patients and carers). These survey instruments have sound psychometric properties (Grimmer and Moss 2001, Graumlich et al 2008) and are recommended for use by evaluators and researchers to capture the specific elements of best practice discharge planning. These instruments can be readily scored by hand, or simple statistical analysis programs can be written to capture composite information on the specific domains of discharge planning quality represented in some of the questionnaires. These instruments have all been labelled with the acronym PREPARED (Prescriptions, Ready to re-enter community, Education, Placement, Assurance of safety, Realistic expectations, Empowerment, Directed to appropriate services). These elements reflect the core purposes of best-practice discharge planning.
The following section reports on a list of resources and publications produced from this research.
Does Allied Health Quality of care make an impact on stroke patient's length of stay and mortality in SA Health? Work Bundle 2. Prepared for Department for Health and Ageing, South Australia
This project aimed to provide guidance for objectively measuring the impact of extended (seven days-a-week) allied health services in a manner that will inform strategic SA allied health planning processes. It was designed to evaluate the impact of quality indicator-compliant allied health (AH) services on length of stay (LOS) and mortality of stroke patients, and the marginal impact on these measures when patients were admitted during the weekend.
The findings suggest that higher compliance with evidence-based AH quality care indicators is associated with significantly reduced odds of dying in hospital, and more effective LOS. Increased compliance with quality indicators of AH-care quality for patients admitted during weekends could reduce their LOS by a half day. These findings are meaningful for the planning process towards increasing the level of compliance to indicators of AH care quality during weekend
Summary of Evidence for Allied Health Extended Care. Prepared for Department for Health and Ageing, South Australia
In Australia, there is wide spread recognition that the traditional and historical models of care need to be reviewed, adapted and renewed to meet the emerging challenges and needs of the 21st century health system. As one of the three pillars of health, allied health professions, working in partnerships with medicine and nursing, can make a significant positive contribution to the new models of care. An area where allied health can play a critical role is in extending it to after hours, weekend etc. Historically much of the allied health professions were constrained to work within the "traditional" work hours and limited on-call services provided on an ad-hoc and opportunistic basis. In recent times, there has been some emerging evidence to indicate that there may be benefits to the health professional, patient and the health system overall through an allied health extended care model.
Using a pragmatic approach, and in collaboration with Allied & Scientific Health Office, iCAHE purposively identified literature from a range of sources which provided an overview of the processes and outcomes from allied health extended care initiatives from across the world.

The SLX 350 OB is all new for 2017 and it's a big boat for big water that rides and responds like a small runabout.
I tested one of the very first hulls in the water in southwest Florida. While 350 Verados are an option, after testing with the 300s and easily cracking 60 mph, that seemed plenty fast enough for me. This thing scoots!
When you go full lock on the wheel into a turn, the banking is insane. In fact, it was almost too much the first time. It's something you could dial in if you want or, of course, you don't have to go full lock into a high-speed turn. There's always that simple solution, right?
The most economical cruise is around 32 mph but anywhere in the 30s and 40s was quiet and smooth, thanks largely to the QuietRide system which reduces noise and vibration by up to 50%. The new Verados are so quiet. Even with 900 horses whirring away and ripping across the Gulf of Mexico, the wind is often the loudest part of the ride.
The helm is a high-end digital dash with chartplotter, Dynamic Display and joystick piloting. The riders have a myriad of seating options from the huge bow lounge to the passenger seats to the aft bench opposite the wet bar.
Above, the hardtop extends out from the arch offering good protection while not inhibiting standing room or sightlines. The sunroof opening allows light through or, closed, it combines with the optional sunshade that extends well aft to cover almost all the boat.
The storage is unreal, though given the size of the boat makes sense. It just seems wild because the lines are so sleek and stylish and this does not look like a huge barge of a day boat. In fact, unless it's beside another boat in the marina you don't really know how big it is. I think that's a good thing—and hard to achieve—but they managed.
There are two cooler storage spaces, and thanks to outboard power the space that could be chewed up with sterndrive motors is cavernously available.
There is a portside head compartment with a fibreglass, lockable door featuring VacuFlush toilet, solid surface countertop with sink and pull-out sprayer. Opposite is the starboard helm compartment that you can enhance with a berth upgrade. It includes cushions and a TV that would be great for kids to get a break from the elements or have a nap.
Big day boats aren't for everyone. If you're on big water and have a lot of friends or family and refuse to leave anyone, or any fun, behind, something like the 350 SLX may check all your boxes.

New movies this week: 'Peter Rabbit,' 'Fifty Shades Freed'
The real-life heroes who thwarted a 2015 terrorist attack on Thalys train #9364 are starring in their own story on the silver screen.
'THE 15:17 TO PARIS': The film is based on the true story of three young American friends who thwarted a 2015 terrorist attack on an European trains bound for Paris, saving the lives of 500 people on board. The trio includes Anthony Sadler, Oregon National Guardsman Alek Skarlatos and U.S. Air Force Airman First Class Spencer Stone, who play themselves in the film. Rated PG-13 for bloody images, violence, some suggestive material, drug references and language.
Christian and Anastasia may be the Greys, but their happy ending isn't here just yet.
"FIFTY SHADES FREED": Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson return for more submissive hanky-panky in the third film based on the worldwide bestselling "Fifty Shades" books written by E L James. Rated R for strong sexual content, nudity, and language. Some Thursday screenings.
An insult escalates into a national threat in a drama from writer-director Ziad Doueiri.
"THE INSULT": In today's Beirut, an insult blown out of proportion finds Toni (Adel Karam), a Lebanese Christian, and Yasser (Kamel El Basha), a Palestinian refugee in court. Rated R for language and some violent images.
Peter Rabbit and his friends are used to roaming the countryside without a care in the world, but a new neighbor threatens to take it all away.
"PETER RABBIT": In this animated comedy, James Corden is the voice of Peter Rabbit, whose feud with Mr. McGregor (Domhnall Gleeson) escalates as they battle for the affections of the warm-hearted animal lover who lives next door (Rose Byrne). Rated PG for some rude humor and action.

California's Exhaust Bill, 2020 Supra, New Shelby GT500, Bird Box Challenge, 2019 Ram, And Fast Fails
Today on PND…
• What's Up With California's "New" Exhaust Noise Bill
• The 2020 Supra Is Finally, Officially Here
• The 2020 Mustang Shelby GT500 Debuted In Detroit
• Teen Participating In "Bird Box" Challenge Crashes In Oncoming Traffic
• The 2019 Ram Has Debuted With An Insane Amount Of Torque
• And Top 5 Fast Fails: F150 Edition
California Bill
Although the "new" bill affecting exhaust noise went into effect January 1st, it's actually been the law for several years…just not well enforced. Basically, if your car weighs less than 6,000 lbs. and you have a modified exhaust it needs to register less than 95 decibels. The new amendment allows police to fine violating drivers immediately instead of giving them a chance to fix it. So if you're a CA resident and have a car 1976 and newer with an exhaust that police may notice, a fine may be headed your way.
2020 Supra
After several leaks and teases, the 2020 Toyota Supra has made its debut. It houses a turbocharged inline-six with RWD. It pushes out 335 HP and 365 lb.-ft. torque with a 0-60 time of 4.1 seconds and a 155 mph top speed. It's officially the quickest Toyota-brand car ever. Being Priced at $50,920 for the base model…would you buy it?
Shelby GT500
The most powerful Mustang ever created has been debuted in Detroit! The Mustang Shelby GT500 houses a 5.2-liter V8 puts out over 700 HP. It runs the ¼ mile in under 11 seconds. There will be 3 packages available to choose from: the Base model, Handling package, or if you really want to get fancy, the Carbon Fiber Track Package. New colors include Twister Orange, Red Hot, and Iconic Silver. We're still waiting on final performance numbers, mpg, and pricing but stay tuned!
Bird Box Fail
If you haven't seen the Netflix movie "Bird Box" it's a film that has set off another challenge. The characters in the movie have to navigate everything blindfolded, and the challenge has become a hit for people to attempt to do every day tasks blindfolded. The Layton City Police Department report that a 17 and 16 year old were driving down a major roadway while blindfolded attempting to participate in the challenge. Unsurprisingly, the teen lost control, crossed the center line and hit another vehicle.

Your customers will see the excise tax as a separate line item on their invoice, so there is complete transparency.
It's Easy:
Define Geographic Zones
Define geographic "zones" (based on zip code) and specify what level of tax should be applied to each product in each individual zone.
Define Tax Rate
Taxman lets you charge based on:
- Flat rate
- Percentage of Product price
- Percentage of taxable portion (taxable portion of each Product is editable)
Add Tax As Line Item
On the customer end, Taxman is clean and simple. When a customer fills out their billing/shipping information, excise tax is calculated and applied to their order total as a separate line item. It's clearly labeled and included in the grand total, so customers understand what they're paying for.

Type: Research Highlight
Title: k-Shape:Efficient and Accurate Clustering of Time Series
John Paparrizos, Luis Gravano
Available in: PDF
The proliferation and ubiquity of temporal data across many disciplines has generated substantial interest in the analysis and mining of time series. Clustering is one of the most popular data mining methods, not only due to its exploratory power, but also as a preprocessing step or subroutine for other techniques. In this paper, we describe k-Shape, a novel algorithm for time-series clustering. k-Shape relies on a scalable iterative refinement procedure, which creates homogeneous and well-separated clusters. As its distance measure, k-Shape uses a normalized version of the cross-correlation measure in order to consider the shapes of time series while comparing them. Based on the properties of that distance measure, we develop a method to compute cluster centroids, which are used in every iteration to update the assignment of time series to clusters. An extensive experimental evaluation against partitional, hierarchical, and spectral clustering methods, with the most competitive distance measures, showed the robustness of k-Shape. Overall, k-Shape emerges as a domain-independent, highly accurate, and efficient clustering approach for time series with broad applications.

Trump aims to ease Asian allies' qualms when he meets Japan's Abe
By Reuters - Nov 16,2016 - Last updated at Nov 16,2016
In this November 10 photo, a Chinese man holds up a Chinese newspaper with the front page photo of US President-elect Donald Trump and the headline 'Outsider counterattack' at a newsstand in Beijing, China (AP photo)
TOKYO/WASHINGTON — Donald Trump is expected to use his first meeting with a foreign leader as US president-elect this week to try to reassure Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and other Asian allies rattled by his campaign rhetoric, advisers to Trump said.
Abe, a political blue blood and veteran lawmaker, and Trump, a brash outsider with no diplomatic or government experience, have differences on policy issues such as free trade.
But the two may find they have more in common when they meet in New York on Thursday, including pledges to restore their countries' global stature and a desire to counter a rising China while improving relations with Russia.
"Prime Minister Abe and Mr Trump will have good chemistry," said Takashi Kawakami, a professor at Tokyo's Takushoku University. "Both tend to decide and act based on intuition. And both are pragmatists who put their countries' interests first."
An adviser to Trump said the president-elect would reaffirm his commitment to the US-Japan alliance and the region, despite campaign rhetoric that raised questions about the future of what has been the bedrock of Japanese defence since World War II.
Abe wants to build a relationship of trust while taking the measure of the real-estate magnate, whom few in Japan thought would become president.
"The first and by far, top priority is to establish a personal relationship rather than debate specific policy areas," said a person familiar with Japan's preparations for the meeting.
Trump's campaign comments on the possibility of Japan acquiring nuclear arms and demands allies pay more for the upkeep of US forces on their soil have fanned worries.
His election has also dashed hopes for US approval of a 12-nation trade pact, the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), a lynchpin of Washington's "pivot" to Asia and a pillar of Abe's economic reforms.
A Trump adviser said he expected the meeting to "set the tone" for Trump's relations with Japan and the region. Some diplomats say, however, that until Trump makes key appointments, it will be hard to assess his policies on issues including China's maritime aggressiveness and North Korea's nuclear threat.
"I think the message... is going to be extremely reassuring," the adviser said. "I expect he is going to reaffirm his commitments to the alliance and the American commitment to being in the Pacific long-term."
The adviser, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Japan's financial support for US troops in Japan might come up, but was unlikely to be a focus.
Japan agreed last December to boost spending for US forces in Japan by 1.4 per cent for the next five years, at an average of 189.3 billion yen ($1.74 billion) per year. Defence Minister Tomomi Inada has said Tokyo was paying enough.
Abe has boosted Japan's overall defence spending since taking office in 2012 while stretching the limits of its pacifist post-war constitution to allow the military to take a bigger global role.
Defence spending still stands at just over 1 per cent of GDP against over 3 per cent in the United States.
Some of Trump's rhetoric suggests an image of Japan forged in the 1980s, when Tokyo was seen by many in the United States as a threat to jobs and a free-rider on defence.
The Trump adviser stressed a more positive view.
"Frankly, the prime minister has been more assertive and forthright in trying to make those changes to Japan's global posture," he said. "I think he's going to get a very receptive audience there."
Trump and Abe could also have a meeting of minds over Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Obama has had tense ties with Russia but Trump has praised Putin and stressed the possibility of better relations. Abe wants to resolve a row over islands seized by Moscow at the end of World War II and will meet Putin for a summit in December.
On the economic front, Abe might also be able to offer Japanese technology and financing for US infrastructure projects Trump has said he wants to promote.
That would fit with Abe's stress in his growth strategy on exports of technology such as high-speed trains.
Finessing differences on free trade will likely be tougher given Trump's opposition to the TPP.
"We have to continue waving the flag," the person familiar with Japan's preparations said. "If there is strong opposition from Trump, that's a disaster for our TPP efforts. We'll have to handle it with care."

Sweat Equity
Cooperative House-Building in
"The lack of decent urban housing — a problem neither new nor unique to
Newfoundland — was widely recognized during the twentieth century. After numerous piecemeal attempts to find a solution, a remarkable and successful government-supported "sweat equity" program was established in 1952, where homes were built cooperatively and, upon completion, became owner-occupied. This labor (about 2,000 hours per man) was accepted in lieu of a down payment.
"Tracing public policy during the Commission of Government and the early days of the Smallwood administration, and sourced from archival material and interviews with surviving members of the cooperatives, Sweat Equity outlines how people in Newfoundland tried to solve the housing shortage themselves by building more than 500 houses in the 1950s and 1960s.

A defendant has been indicted on a federal charge of cyber-stalking.
Lubbock police and U.S. Marshals have been hunting William Bradley, 40, for more than a month. He's accused of repeated domestic violence.
Federal court records indicate Bradley harassed and intimidated a victim online in Feb. 2018.
Cyber-stalking is a federal crime since the internet is under the government's control of inter-state commerce. This matches cases out of Lubbock County. Bradley was on the run for a few weeks, accused of multiple cases of domestic violence over the past year.
A state indictment claims Bradley grabbed and chocked an ex-girlfriend in June 2018, then damaged her vehicle. The victim in this incident matches the federal indictment.
Court records indicate Bradley bonded out of jail on that charge. In March 2019, court records indicate Bradley beat another ex-girlfriend.
The U.S. Marshals started looking for him in early May.
He was arrested in Colorado on May 23, then transferred to Lubbock County on June 11.

The 1.2 series of Mumble is now entering the alpha stage. It has actually been pretty stable for a while, but now all of the major new features we want in 1.2.0 are in place; see http://mumble.sourceforge.net/1.2.0 for a summary. The only thing left now is polishing and bugfixing, and that means more testing.
So if you want 1.2.0 to happen faster, simply download and try it. The client will show a summary of focus areas for testing when you start it. The snapshots also include a 1.1.x compatibility client, and we consider this stable enough that we recommend people use is instead of the 1.1.8 client, as it solves a few problems on cutting edge operating systems.
The alpha clients can be downloaded from our homepage at http://mumble.sourceforge.net. Have fun with it, and we look forward to your feedback.

Suspect dead after attempted robbery in Columbia
COLUMBIA - The Columbia Police Department (CPD), along with the Boone County Sheriff's Department and Missouri State Highway Patrol, responded to a robbery attempt around 5:30 p.m. Wednesday at Moser's Foods on Keene Street, formerly Patricia's Foods, CPD Sgt. Scott Hedrick said.
Hedrick said the suspect, registered sex offender, Mark W. Adair, 51, attempted to rob a woman in the parking lot.
A police investigation revealed Adair hid inside the female victim's vehicle while the victim was shopping at Moser's Foods. When the victim arrived back to her vehicle, Adair displayed a handgun and demanded the victim drive away.
A struggle ensued and the victim was able to escape the vehicle and contact security.
Adair fled the scene on foot, heading southwest from the business.
The victim sustained lacerations to her head and hand as a result of the struggle.
Upon officers' arrival, a perimeter was set and a K-9 track was conducted. Adair was not located.
Probation and Parole recently issued a warrant for Adair's arrest following a parole violation. Adair was serving a total sentence of 30 years, prior to parole.
Detectives are continuing to investigate the case.

Spears gets X Factor backing
Nicole Scherzinger has backed Britney Spears for the US X Factor job.
The pop princess has been tipped as one of the two new judges on the panel of the reality TV show, replacing Nicole and Paula Abdul, and the former Pussycat Doll has given Britney her support.
She told E! News: "Britney is so bubbly and warm and everyone loves her anyway, so she just has to be herself.
"I think that it's something that we can't deny, but there's something about Britney that we...are always rooting for her and behind her no matter what."
British singer Jessie J also believes Britney would be a great judge, because she has been through it all before.
She said: "I think it's really important to have people who have lived it. They can understand what these artists who are auditioning go through and really know how it feels to have rejection and have success. And I think that she's someone who's shown how to have a career with longevity. I think it's definitely something that the show [needs]."
Britney is said to be close to signing a deal to appear on the show, which would see her pay exceed the $12 million which Jennifer Lopez makes from starring in rival series American Idol.

Spring is a popular time for families to start thinking about adopting a new puppy or kitten for the family. Maybe your family has already decided they are ready for a pet. Where to start and where to begin on your search is the question. Bringing home a new pet doesn't affect only one person it affects the whole family. Everyone should be involved in the process. Do you have any other pets in your house, does anyone have allergies, and will someone be around to take care of this pet.
Some questions to ask yourself or family;
·What kind of pet do you want to own? You should do some research on how long the animal is going to live.
– Dogs can live 10-15 years
-Cats can live up to 20 years
-Horses can live up to 30 years
-Some birds will have to be included in your will
·Once you have narrowed down the kind of animal you and your family think is best or you want you need to ask some more questions.
-Look at your living space is it too small; do you live in a high-rise or have a back yard for this animal?
-Do you have enough room for this animal?
-Can you and your family give this animal what it needs?
-Don't forget about vet cost, food, and other expenses.
Teach your child how to care for the pet.
·As a parent even though you want to teach your child how to care for this pet, you need to be prepared to also be the main care taker.
·Encourage your child to be part of the process.
·Picking out the bed, crate or cage.
·Talking about how it will need to be walked or taken outside frequently, or if it's a bird or guinea pig that the cage will need to be cleaned.
·Picking out names
·This will show your child how to take responsibility for this new pet and be prepared that it is not just to play with.
If your family has decided on a dog you will also need to look at what is the best dog for children and the worst.
5 best dogs for children
·Beagle-has a great happy go lucky friendly personality. Love to play and there playful personality is what makes this a great kid dog.
·Pug- this outgoing dog is small bread that is great with children. It's small size will not knock over your child and is very loyal.
·Labrador- This breed is very familiar and has been a favorite in the US for many years. They are patience by nature will not mind a child hanging on them and is the most loyal dog you will have.
·Golden Retriever- This breed is very similar to the lab. They have a bit more energy than the lab. Very trainable if done early and can learn over 200 commands. Very good with children and also a loyal dog.
·Standard Poodle. Yes this breed is very good for a family. Especially if there are allergies in the home. They are vey patience, easy to potty train, and highly intelligent. This breed is a family dog instead of a one owner dog. They love to play for hours on end.
5 Worst dogs for children
·Dalmatians-These are beautiful dogs but are known not to be around little ones. They can be easily startled and bite. Mostly because these breeds are known to go deaf. Do your research before buying this breed if you have little ones in the home.
·Chihuahua.This breed is not good for young children or children to be around. A very nervous breed which will nip or bite children. Because of it's small size children will want to pick it up.
·Pit-Bull- This dog can be very aggressive. When they bite they go for the throat and don't let go. Being around small children is not advised.
·Rottweiler- the years between 1979-1998 this breed held the 2 top breed of fatal bites. This is a breed that is unpredictable.
·Chow Chow has a quick temper and loves to bully. If any fear is shown this dog will act on it. Small children may startle this dog and because of it long fur children might want to pull it.
Reptiles you will want to be careful because they produce salmonella. These include but not limited to corn snakes, bearded dragons, geckos and pythons.
Birds –These pets are not bad if you have a cat free home and children just want to watch.
This list does not mean that families should not get a family pet based on this. It is just to make you aware of some breeds that may not be suitable for young children. These breeds may be fine for older children. You will want to research and look into all breeds and pets before deciding on that perfect one. Remember this is 10-20 year comment or more.

About PQDT Open Search
Following the conquest of Alexander the Great in 332 BC Egypt experienced a gradual transition from an Egyptian to a Hellenistic administration. Egyptian law was recognised by the Ptolemies, but not by the Romans who adopted Hellenistic practice wholesale. This had major implications for women, since Egyptian custom treated women as legally independent persons, while Hellenistic law customarily required them act through a male guardian.
Study of the Demotic business and administrative texts from Ptolemaic and Roman Thebes reveals cultural and gender-based differences in treatment of individuals in the documents. The Egyptian papyri show men and women owning and transferring a variety of properties with almost equal frequency. Women were clearly substantial property owners in Thebes at this time. However, gender could affect an individual on many levels: the titles given to a party in a contract, the portion of an estate an individual could inherit, involvement in management of property and interaction with the state.
Analysis of the Theban documents, in addition to related material, suggests that the management of a woman's property by her husband lies behind both the rare use of titles in association with women, as well as women's infrequent appearance in leases, loans and non-tax ostraca. The Hellenistic culture of the administration reinforced any tendency to down-play the involvement of women and to not give them titles in business documents. The few taxes women paid were initiated prior to the administrative reforms of year 22 of Ptolemy II, the intention of which was probably to bring the administration of Egypt into line with Hellenistic practice. The administration's increasing Hellenisation in the later Ptolemaic and Roman periods is reflected in a sharp decline in numbers of female tax payers. The dearth of Demotic legal papyri of the Roman period illustrates both the end of official recognition of Egyptian law and the corresponding loss of the legal independence of women, which had been a fundamental element of Egyptian culture since the early Pharaonic period.

For as long as there has been talk of an Uncharted movie, there have been thousands of dedicated fans begging for Nathan Fillion to play Nathan Drake. Fillion has long been thought to possess the looks and personality to pull off the role, and there are more than just a few similarities between the lives of Drake and Malcolm Reynolds, Fillion's character on Firefly.
The film has been tossed around for years with little progress, switching up writers and directors along the way. Last year it seemed progress was being made, as a script was completed. We even heard a report that Spider-Man actor Tom Holland was attached as a young Nathan Drake, with the film serving as a prequel to the events of the games. Why, then, does Fillion seem to be teasing an Uncharted announcement?
Fillion recently took to Instagram to post a picture of rapper Drake along with the caption "Sic Parvis Magna. 7/16/18." That Latin phrase (which roughly translates as "Greatness from small beginnings") was the personal motto of adventurer Sir Francis Drake. This motto was engraved on a ring that eventually came into Nathan Drake's possession.
So what does it all mean? It seems likely that an Uncharted announcement is on the way, but what role does Nathan Fillian have in all of this? Apparently we'll find out on Monday.

Salmon abound in windy westerlies
With the strong westerlies blowing it has been a good time to fish for salmon off the beaches.
Salmon and good tailor are best near the top of the run-in tide early morning and evening. Salmon and tailor are also in the Pambula River and Broadwater. Trolled silver lures are also working well.
Now is also the time to fish the headlands and estuaries when some sheltered areas can be found.
The Merimbula Big Game and Lakes Angling Club has reports of excellent black drummer from Haycock taken on cooked prawns and cunjevoi. Good tailor are about in the Merimbula Back Lake, early morning or evenings are the best times, trolling or spinning is the way to go.
Water temperatures are rising a little (14-16 degrees) and when you can get out there are snapper and morwong from White Rock, Long Point, Haycock, Horseshoe Reef and Lennards Island. Best depths about 17 fathoms. With the moon starting to make gummy shark should be back on the chew at the reef edges.
Good flathead are reported from 20 fathoms off the golf course at Tura Beach. Flathead remain a staple off Cowdroys, try 17 fathoms. Further South off Baronda Headland try 15 fathoms.
Bream are spawning in the Bega River with most gathered near Thompsons. Down river near Mogareeka some good tailor respond to silver lures, best early morning and evening.
The Merimbula Fishing platform is alive with yellowtail and a few slimy mackerel. Burley is a must to bring the bait fish onto the bite. Calamari squid are falling to those with patience using mostly red coloured jigs.
On Friday at 6.30 for 7pm the Club will host John Smythe who will talk about the Sea Urchin problem. John's presentation will give a background to the problem and how it has been addressed at state level. He will outline a possible small scale program that MBGLAC may be interested in to rehabilitate the reef around Merimbula Wharf, restoring the weedy habitat and increase fishing opportunities.
John is secretary of Abalone Association of NSW the peak industry body for the abalone and sea urchin fisheries in NSW. He is also a NSW Director on the Abalone Council of Australia, the body that represents the abalone fishery nationally as well as co-ordinates all abalone research through FRDC. He has been abalone diving for 45 years mostly out of Merimbula, Tathra and Eden and has been involved with research into sea urchins since the early 1990s.
All are welcome to attend.

Hey Folks,
I had a thought that I would start thinking of my diet as a bit of a time machine. Each time I enter a new ten pound range, I'll picture that as the corresponding decade; any weight in the 90's (for instance 390-399) will be the nineties. Etc. Etc. It might not make a lot of sense, but it works for me.
When I made the last post i was still in the 90's: 390.6. I don't really remember much of 1990. I know I was living in Little Rock. I know it was an unsettled time in my life. I had just left college. I had moved back in with my family, and it was tough on all of us.
As of today, I'm in the 80's again: 389.2. Just barely in the eighties, but it is definitely the eighties. I remember even less of 1989 than I do of 1990. During at least half of that year I was in Starkville, the last year I was in College. Well, technically I was in college, but in reality I was in denial. I was in denial about my financial status. I was in denial about how deeply I was in debt. I was hiding from my parents, my creditors, and from myself. It was NOT a good year.
I honestly don't remember what season of the year it was when I moved to Little Rock. I think it was in the spring. That feels right. The one good thing I remember is that I got a job fairly quickly. Little Rock was the first time I got a job working on the phone: I got a job working for Heritage Publishing, working as telemarketer. I wasn't real good at it, but I was working. I worked as a telemarketer at one job or another the entire time I lived in Little Rock.
I think I'm going to enjoy this current trip through the late Eighties a lot more.

Senator introduces oil severance bill to fund higher ed
Last week Senator Noreen Evans (D-Santa Rosa) announced the introduction of Senate Bill (SB) 241, a bill that would fund California's higher education systems and State Parks through a severance tax imposed on oil producers in California.
Evans said the tax would raise an estimated $2 billion annually, 93 percent of which would be steered toward public colleges and universities and the rest used to help shore up the state's beleaguered parks system.
"CFA appreciates Senator Evans' recognition of the dramatic cuts that have greatly impacted our institutions of public higher education, students, and faculty. CFA has supported an oil severance tax in the past and applauds Senator Evans' effort to reinvest in the California State University system (CSU)," said CFA President Lillian Taiz, a professor of history at Cal State Los Angeles.
She continued, "Together with Governor Brown's latest budget proposal to increase funding for the CSU, this is another positive step towards enabling our universities to develop and expand California's human and economic capabilities as intended."
In 2009 CFA supported a similar effort led by then-Assemblymember Alberto Torrico, aimed at getting oil companies to pay their fair share. That bill was eventually defeated in committee following heavy lobbying from California's oil industry.

Mac design consultant explains Apple's edge
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. -- Hartmut Esslinger, who helped design the original Macintosh 25 years ago, says many tech companies still don't get one of the keys to Apple's success.
"Design doesn't stand alone, it's a coordinated profession. People think it's about beauty, but it's really about connected technology, science, people and business. A lot of stuff doesn't sell because it's designed for the engineer," he said this morning at a [Churchill Club](http://www.churchillclub.org) event here.
Esslinger had worked earlier at Sony which helped him get in the door at Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) and gain the confidence of ultra-picky CEO Steve Jobs, beating out an ad agency in the process for his then small company, the legendary [Frog Design](http://www.frogdesign.com).
"We talked about design and I asked Steve what he wanted to do with the Mac. He said he wanted a million people to use it, not 10,000," Esslinger recalled. (*Photo by David Needle*)
A million personal computers was considered big time mass market back then.
"He didn't like our design in the beginning, but he's the best learner in world," Esslinger recalled, noting the Mac's design was meant to convey the feeling of California -- "sexy, young and dynamic."
**Say hello to my little friend**
He added the idea was to design the Mac to look like a person, to create "a little friend."
While Jobs is routinely criticized for a dictatorial, my way or the highway, style, Esslinger said strong company leadership is important. He noted at Sony it took much longer to get ideas approved because it was a bottoms up process.
"At Apple it's top down and things happen right away," he said. "A lot of people totally underestimate how important leadership is. Look at the iPhone, that shows someone who really cares."
**Dinging Dell's design**
The event format was a Q&A with entrepreneur and original Apple evangelist [Guy Kawasaki](http://www.guykawasaki.com/) who asked why companies like Dell (NASDAQ: DELL), with tons of money, can't match Apple's aesthetic -- actually he asked why their computers "look like crap."

Mexico City has a very upscale area known as Planco, which is favored by the wealthier inhabitants of Mexico City. It is also home to many foregin embassies, large shopping centers and fancy restaurants that make it a fun place to visit to get to know how the privileged in Mexico live.
It is primarily an exclusive residential area, just north of the Chupultepec Park and occupies some neighborhoods in the Miguel Hidalgo district. It also is close to the historical center of Mexico City. Being upscale, as you can imagine, it is a bustling commercial area with lots of activity.
For those who stay in some of the SuiteBoutique holiday rentals, it is a mere 3 metro stations away or on an average day, about a 10 minute taxi ride.
Polanco is widely known in Mexico City as the place to be for an elegant dining experience. It's filled with fancy restaurants, and even more casual restaurants with excellent food. There are a lot of patrons there for shopping and dining. It is even a nice area to walk around and see the sites, with the trendy Presidente Masaryk Ave nearby and the residential housing that makes Polanco one of the most sought after areas for real estate investors.
It is the place where celebrities and the wealthy of Mexico have their mansions and is a very interesting place to visit as a tourist.
There is easy and quick access to many museums nearby, as well as Chepultapec Park, but we think it would be the place we'd recommend if you wanted to have a special dining experience or an elegant night on the town!

Senior Analyst Programmer Caroline shares her views on QCon London in this two-part blog series.
Here's part two of eDev@QCon London 2017.
In part one, I covered talks on Microservices and Javascript. In today's blog, let's look at some of the highlights and talks on the Internet of Things and working culture.
The Internet of Things
The Internet of Things (IoT) is no longer an abstract notion but is truly here, and brings with it its own unique set of challenges, especially around security.
Best talk on this topic: Security War Stories: The Battle for the Internet of Things
This keynote talk was an excellent presentation discussing the many ways devices that are described as "connected", i.e. linked to a server or servers via the cloud or simply wifi accessible, can be (and are being) hacked. I suggest watching the video of the presentation available here if you want to scare yourself.
I for one will not be buying an iKettle any time soon…
Working Culture
The concept of what is meant by a "good" working environment and culture for software development companies and teams remains a valuable topic for discussion, with a few talks devoted to different aspects of the debate.
In general, the emphasis this year was on inclusivity and diversity; two things which are often lacking in today's tech industry (as evidenced by the Uber sexism scandal that hit the headlines just a couple of days before the conference).
Best talk on this topic: Shaving My Head Made Me a Better Programmer
Yes, that really was the title of this talk. An excellent presentation which proved incredibly popular (standing room only), where Alex Qin gave us an overview of her experiences of being a female software developer in what is still a male dominated industry.
Finding that she was not being taken seriously she tried everything, including following the advice of a (male) colleague who suggested becoming an expert "badass programmer". The result of her efforts? At the end of giving a conference presentation in the US, the first question from the audience was "how can I pick up women in bars?". Oh dear.
Cue the shaving of the head – yes, she really did shave her head, and all of a sudden everything changed. Did she literally become a better programmer by shaving her head? Of course not, but the perception of her changed so that others (mainly male developers) started seeing her as a better programmer.
In addition to these anecdotes Alex also gave some pointers for how organisations can be more inclusive in their hiring practices and general environment.
To anyone who is interested in diversity and inclusivity, I suggest watching Alex's presentation here.
In conclusion
Overall I think it was another good year for QCon and I came away from the conference enthusiastic to try some new things (Elm, anyone?) and with some new knowledge of what's currently trending in the tech sphere. Roll on QCon 2018!
PS: I am not shaving my head.

How does cysmo®'s innovative
risk analysis work?
cysmo® offers a fully automated real-time assessment of cyber risks for users like underwriters and sales representatives of insurance companies.
cysmo® considers current threats like DDoS, phishing, exploits, data breaches and more in its real-time analysis and rates them in a live risk assessment.
cysmo® is browser-based: the rating process starts from the moment you enter a domain address and gives you a comprehensive result in just three minutes on average.
cysmo®'s stand-out feature is that its partial ratings are not just percentage values calculated as a sum of the individual scores; they are actually explained in a user-friendly and detailed way. If necessary, the tool can directly export the results into a format that is fit for presentation. The system is accessible 24/7.
When repeating a rating (a so-called re-rating), the user can see if and in which instances the result has changed in comparison to the previous rating thanks to the trend curve. The rating history is archived in a comprehensible way.
In addition to the company rating, we also provide the user with a benchmark that compares their rating value to all other ratings performed for the sector.
Partial ratings and scores
cysmo® records and analyses various information that is visible online and might present potential weak points exploitable by attackers. This analysis and the automated rating of the generated data result in individual scores which in turn result in partial ratings.
All partial ratings viewed as a whole present an overall rating of the IT structure, illustrating the company's current security with regard to cyber attacks and thereby detecting security gaps - a valuable addition to questionnaires and audits that is easy to understand and transparent.
