I've recently heard of a brutal new kind of malware. While it is considered part of the ransomware group of viruses, Cryptolocker appears to carry a more unique payload. Once Cryptolocker infects a Windows PC, it encrypts a number of files on the local computer and expects payment for a decryption key. Right now, this software appears rare, and reports are out there, I hadn't gotten my hands on a computer with it until today. What follows are some thoughts and observations.
There are no more results.

Soulwrest is a unique Ezomyte Staff. While wielding this staff, any time a corpse is consumed (from skills like Spirit Offering or even Dominating Blow), used for Raise Zombie, or exploded (Cremation, Detonate Dead, Volatile Dead, Bubonic Trail's Death Walk), a Phantasm (as created typically by Summon Phantasm Support) is created, gaining the effects of any Support Gem socketed into the staff. This does not function with corpses consumed by skills linked with Spell Totem Support. These support gems do not need to be linked to confer their bonuses to the Phantasms.

Ensuring that you have managed your finances correctly and that you are paying the right amount of tax is important for any business. However, what might also be concerning and often lesser known is that you may also need to lodge a Taxable Payments Annual Report.
Also known as a TPAR, this is a report that you need to lodge by 28th August each year if you meet the following conditions:
- You are a business that makes payments to contractors and you provide services in one of the following industries:
- Building and construction from 1 July 2012
- A courier from 1 July 2018
- Cleaning from 1 July 2018
- Security, investigation or surveillance from 1 July 2019
- Road Freight from 1 July 2019
- Information Technology from 1 July 2019
Why does a TPAR exist?
The purpose of the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) taxable payments reporting system is to prevent competitors in industries from undercutting each other through savings made by paying incorrect and lower amounts of tax. The TPAR's are cross-referenced with income reported by contractors to find any disparities which will be acted upon. This forces contractors to get their accounts in order to avoid any problems in the event of an audit.
What do I need to include in a TPAR?
The TPAR describes the payments that are made to contractors for providing services. Contractors can include consultants, subcontractors and independent contractors. They can be operating as a company, a partnership, a trust or even a sole trader.
The details needed by the ATO are usually on a contractor's invoice and should include their:
- Australian Business Number (ABN);
- Name and address, and;
- The gross amount you have paid to them during the financial year, including GST.
This information is then used to identify contractors who have not met their tax obligations.
How do I lodge a TPAR?
A TPAR can be lodged through the ATO's online business portal if your software allows, or paper forms can be completed and posted to the ATO. It is vital that you double-check all information prior to submitting, such as having the correct ABN on the report.
How can MRG Redshaw help?
- Clarify if your business is required to lodge a TPAR.
- Clarify what payments are required to be reported.
- Review your accounting records and advise on what further information you should be collecting from your contractors.
- Prepare your TPAR or review one completed by you prior to lodgement to ensure accuracy.

Pa. township considers implementing AED ordinance
The new ordinance would require building owners to put an automated external defibrillator in high-occupancy places
By Bill Cameron
Pocono Record
BUSHKILL, Pa. — Middle Smithfield Township supervisors are considering a new ordinance that would require building owners to put an automated external defibrillator in high-occupancy places. The township Board of Supervisors is set to vote on the proposal during its Oct. 25 meeting.
To the board's knowledge, this would be the first such law in state.
"Part of our task as supervisors is to encourage our businesses to look out for the general population and their employees," said township Supervisor and former ambulance driver Mike Dwyer. "This ordinance is something that has been done in a few cities across the country, but not here in Pennsylvania."
"We require fire extinguishers to save buildings. Quite honestly, these AEDs can save lives. I personally believe it's more important to save a life than a building, and if we can do something to encourage that from our businesses, it would be beneficial to everyone."
The proposed ordinance would mandate that buildings with an anticipated daily occupancy of 50 or more people be equipped with at least one AED unit on site. Those AEDs must be housed in an accessible location no more than 300 feet from the furthest point of that floor and visible from the building's primary public entrance.
Regulated buildings with more than one floor would be required to have at least one AED on each level, the ordinance also states. The maximum distance between any two AEDs on a single floor may not exceed 600 feet.
"All of the township buildings have these, and all of our staff — including public works, administrative staff and the supervisors — are trained in their use," Dwyer said. "If they're located more predominantly in businesses and places where people congregate, we can definitely save lives by having that AED available to them."
AEDs are electronic devices capable of administering a shock to certain victims of cardiac arrest. The electrical current temporarily interrupts a failing heart's natural circuitry, providing an opportunity for the body to reset to its normal blood-pumping rhythm.
AEDs will deliver a shock only when a shockable heartbeat — an irregular or out-of-sequence rhythm — is detected. The device will not shock someone if a normal rhythm or no heartbeat is detected, and users are warned to take the necessary precautions before the unit discharges any electricity.
"I don't believe any harm can be done," Dwyer said. "It describes where connections have to be made and tells you what to do."
"If there was an emergency they would probably be calling EMS anyway, but it's good to have that AED available immediately."
AEDs along with cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or CPR, can dramatically improve the odds of survival for someone in cardiac arrest. Permanent brain damage can occur after just minutes of oxygen deprivation, and few victims survive more than six minutes without immediate treatment.
Most AED units are almost entirely automated, walking users of nearly any skill-level through the process of administering a shock when necessary. All AEDs approved for use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration utilize voice commands, often in multiple languages, that prompt users on what to do. Many devices also provide visual prompts for the hearing impaired.
"These devices are very user-friendly," Dwyer said. "It would not be difficult for a lay person to just pick one up and use. The machine itself basically instructs you exactly how to use it."
Dwyer encourages businesses to train their staff on AED usage, he also said, but building owners would not be required to do so.
The ordinance, if enacted, would apply to all new construction in the township. Existing buildings would be grandfathered in; however, as with any construction regulation, owners must bring buildings up to code when performing permitted renovations or improvements.
AEDs generally sell for about $1,500 to $1,700 depending on the manufacturer and model. Costs nationwide have fallen sharply since 2001, when competitive bidding began as a result of Pennsylvania's decision to be first in the nation to provide AEDs for all its public school districts.

Making My First TouchDown
By Matthew Vaughn
I was nervous in my second game. My coach was telling us plays. It was so hot outside that I thought I would pass out! I was sweating. "Water!" My Panthers team and I took our places on the field. I am Number 9.
The whistle blew and I felt weird. I was scared, nervous, excited, and happy all at the same time. I played halfback in my second game. The first time the quarterback handed off the ball to me I was surrounded by all these big guys and my flag disappeared in a split second. Then I was sad. Payback time!
On the last play of the game the quarterback passed the football to me and I tucked it under my arm and held it as tight as I could. These big guys started running after me from all directions! My Dad had showed me how to spin around them and run fast with the ball. I ran as fast as I could and I was shocked that nobody could get my flags. I spun around and around for my life and not a one of them could catch me. The goal was getting closer and closer and I ran faster and faster and I was smiling.
The big guys were right behind me and I ran right into the goal. I scored my first touchdown!!! We still lost, but I don't care, I made the only touchdown of the game for my team and they were really happy.
I was happy too and that's how it happened.

FTA welcomes LLCS decision
23rd July 2014
The Freight Transport Association (FTA) has welcomed the decision of London Council's Transport and Environment Committee to scrap its plans for an update to the London Lorry Control Scheme (LLCS).
Originally, the body had proposed bringing in new rules for all heavy goods vehicles entering the capital to have additional sideguards and class V and VI mirrors installed.
However, this decision has now been reversed, with the committee deciding to cancel the plans.
These measures are already set to come into force under the mayor of London's recent announcement of the rollout of the new Safer Lorry Scheme, which was announced at the end of January.
London Mayor Boris Johnson stated at the time that Transport for London will look at new ways to improve blind spot coverage for larger vehicles taking to the capital's roads.
The announcement came in the wake of several high-profile incidents across the capital earlier this year in which a number of vulnerable road users lost their lives after being struck by heavy goods vehicles.
FTA head of urban logistics and regional policy Christopher Snelling commented: "FTA has always believed that this was the wrong approach anyway, but to have two regulatory regimes in London trying to control the same thing would have been a nonsensical example of unnecessary red tape."
Furthermore, Mr Snelling noted this decision may also have been something of a missed opportunity for the committee to make real and lasting benefits for both safety and efficiency in the capital.
He claimed measures to include the rollout of more out-of-hours deliveries across the capital would be extremely welcome and could easily be implemented as part of LLCS, as well as an examination of outdated legislation that may be holding back the sector from making significant gains.back

Even as reports suggest that at least 40 people have died in the floods in Bihar, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar lashed out at reporters who questioned him over the situation in the state.
"Desh ke kitne hisson mein pani aya hai? Duniya ke kitne hisson mein pani aya hai? Sirf Patna ke kuch mohollon mein pani aya hai, sirf wohi hai samasya?... America mein kya hua? (How many parts of the country have seen floods? How many parts of the world has seen floods? Is water in some parts of Patna the only problem we have?... What happened in America)," Kumar said as reporters continued to grill him.
Bihar has been ravaged by floods after torrential rain in the past few days. While the centre has provided two helicopters to Bihar for rescue operations in flood-affected areas, Kumar had earlier said that all measures had been taken to take care of the situation.
The situation has been so dire in Patna, that even deputy chief minister Sushil Modi had to be rescued by the National Disaster Response Force.
The Opposition the state has also lashed out at the JD(U)-BJP government, alleging that the floods were "man made".
Congress spokesperson Shaktisinh Gohil was quoted by PTI as saying, "Due to corruption and lack of supervision, water is now entering the town as the pipeline has not been aligned properly, resulting in the city getting flooded," he said. At least for the sake of humanity, the state and the central governments should come out and help the people and mitigate their problems arising out of floods."
Another Congress leader, Anshul Avijit, said that the situation in the Patna was "shameful" and that it could have been avoided if measures had been taken.
PTI quoted him as saying, "This is not nature's fury but a man-made disaster. This was something waiting to happen. I want to stress upon this point that had the authorities taken proper preventive measures, cleaned up the drainage system, this could have been prevented."

In early January, Gov. Ralph Northam introduced his agenda, which included "marijuana decriminalization," giving the illusion that Virginia is moving toward actual criminal legal reforms. Unfortunately, as introduced on behalf of the Governor, HB 972 would cause more harm to Black and brown people and strengthen the school-to-prison pipeline for our youth.
Once the ACLU of Virginia and its coalition partners learned the real impact of the administration's legislation, the group notified the governor, attorney general, the Virginia Legislative Black Caucus, along with all legislators of the negative impact that HB972 and a similar Senate proposal in SB2 would have on the communities already harmed most by the war on drugs. True marijuana reform can start now by simply repealing the ban on simple marijuana use and possession from the Virginia criminal code, and by not adding any criminal or civil penalties.
The ACLU of Virginia joined forces with Marijuana Justice to co-host a Marijuana Community Briefing on why decriminalization as proposed in SB2 and HB972 isn't the right way forward. Our goal was to engage with community leaders who have already taken the lead in advocating for real reform. Advocates and partners including ACLU-VA's legislative director Ashna Khanna, Richard Walker from Bridging the Gap, Gary Broderick from RISE for Youth, and community activist Sheila Bynum-Coleman participated in a panel discussion moderated by Chelsea Higgs Wise of Marijuana Justice. The panel raised their concerns with HB972 and SB2 and proposed a solution, House Bill 1507 introduced by Del. Jennifer Carroll Foy, that repeals the prohibition of simple marijuana possession and use without additional fees or crimes.
"It seems like in the front, [HB972 and SB2] are taking a step forward, but in the back door, it's another way to get Black and brown people into the criminal legal system," said Khanna. "Racial disparities in policing are evident when records show Black Virginians are 3.4 times more likely to be arrested for marijuana offenses; this is up from 2.7 times in the last decade."
Many event attendees arrived with the same question: Why is the ACLU against marijuana decriminalization proposals that are seen as moving Virginia in the right direction? The answer is simple. As proposed, the so-called decriminalization bills don't do anything to combat racial disparities in enforcement, continue to criminalize youth who use marijuana and deprive people who are still defined as violating the law of access to counsel if they want to challenge the citation and civil penalty they would still receive.
The panelists often spoke from personal experience on how current marijuana laws are being disparately used against Black and brown people and as a pretext to pull over and search their cars — emphasizing that the proposed decriminalization bills, which include civil penalties enforced by police, would allow this pattern to continue.
"I stand against these decriminalization bills because they do not do enough. They will not stop bad policing, racism, and injustice. My husband was strip-searched on the side of the road because the officer 'smelled marijuana.'" said Bynum-Coleman.
Walker said, "We cannot go for the setup with Gov. Northam's decriminalization bill that creates other possible criminal charges."
Also, HB972 as passed by the House of Delegates, if not amended, would punish our youth more harshly than adults by making them delinquents, taking away their driver's license, and subjecting them to mandatory regular drug testing.
"We want laws that promote young people's ability to learn and grow from mistakes, not trap them and funnel them into the juvenile legal system," said Broderick.
Communities of color have waited long enough for true leadership from their lawmakers and are urging them to stand strong and lead the way for equitable marijuana reform.
"People often say marijuana is a gateway drug, but for me, it has always been a gateway drug to the incarceration system," said Wise.
Many attendees were surprised to learn that it is misleading to call the proposed legislation decriminalization and that, as proposed, the outcome will be continued harm to people of color, especially youth.
Khanna added that the fact that HB972 and SB2 still make it a violation of law to possess even small amounts of marijuana could affect people from all walks of life. If someone agrees to pay the proposed civil penalty, they are admitting that they violated the law and may be required to report that law violation when seeking to enlist in the military, applying for a college loan or for housing assistance, and other opportunities. The fact that the penalty for violating the law would be a civil penalty does not change the fact that possession would still be illegal and that admitting to that violation would not have some of the same consequences as pleading guilty to a violation with criminal penalties.

Secrets to healthy nutrition (Georgij Nazarov)
What we know about healthy nutrition today and what has always been stated is that healthy nutrition brings health, improves mental capacity, longer life expectancy and increased strength and durability. In today's day and age, at a time when many new and existing diseases, unheard of before or were limited to minute numbers have now grown in gigantic proportions especially in developed countries. Diseases which were at one time considered eradicated are now showing up as more aggressive and even more difficult to treat. Fortunately, more people are realizing that leading a healthy lifestyle is dependent upon their life choices.
The most important lifestyle choice is nutrition which would enable one to, significantly reduce chances of further disease development or even eradication of disease.
Unfortunately, even with a desire to make a positive change we do not have the reliable sources engrained within ourselves to make a complete change. Doctors of modern medicine in most countries around the world, unfortunately, has a very superficial, narrowly focused and frequently outdated knowledge about healthy nutrition.
Healthy concept
Currently, 80 % of health food stores in Serbia offer un-healthy products. Many books written on this topic are generally containing uninformative, unfounded or false in-formation. Those that do not fall in the previous category usually focus on a narrow area of interest of health nutrition leaving out major topics related to this area.
It is only the assembly of all related areas that can enable healthy food choices bring us good health.
To completely understand the concept of health and nutrition we must look at the following areas:
• Wise and informed food and drink choices for consumption
• Proper preparation and storage of food products
• Using beneficial and natural ingredients in our food
• Proper food combining
• Regular meal times
• Spacing our meals
• Consuming appropriate quantities of food
Looking at this list, skipping even one step will prevent us from benefits of proper health and nutrition. For example: we could be eating the healthiest food, preparing them properly but if they are eaten at the wrong time these same food choices can cause disease and weakness within the body. Also, combining improper foods will achieve the same negative effect.
It is important to understand that much of our knowledge has been taught by teams of people, frequently doctors, who have connections with the food industry. Therefore, in order to sell more products our health is not taken into account which is a high price to pay.
Implementing fasts, vegetarianism, a macrobiotic diet (and many other diets) are good attempts to help in achieving our goal for better quality of life and well-functioning body. In order to achieve this we need a certain amount of knowledge. Whilst, by eating healthy food we have made significant changes, most of the time it is still considered unhealthy. Each of us are able to enhance the quality of nutrition and through this, make positive health changes. This book will provide a broad outlook on this approach.

The Reynolds and Reynolds Company, a leading provider of software and services to automotive retailers, today reaffirmed its position on data security and access. "Accessibility in the real world means ensuring the freedom of dealers to share their data as they wish and accepting the responsibility of keeping that data secure," states Trey Hiers, vice president of Corporate Marketing at Reynolds and Reynolds. "No dealership management system (DMS) provider can be too cavalier in promoting open accessibility without also guaranteeing appropriate security. The risk is too great and the consequences too severe."
Reynolds is committed to helping its customers accelerate their businesses with a real solution for sharing data with third parties. Through Reynolds Certified Interface (RCI) and Reynolds Franchise Interface (RFI), dealers benefit from fully supported third-party and OEM interfaces that provide a monitored, reliable and efficient platform for the exchange of data. For dealers, RCI and RFI mean less complication, less risk to their DMS, and, ultimately, less risk to the consumer. For RCI vendors, the program offers the opportunity to better serve customers through an interface that is reliable and secure. RCI vendors benefit from technical assistance and software updates from Reynolds, which keep their business uninterrupted when upgrades and enhancements are made in the DMS.
Rome Technologies is the oldest and largest provider of turnkey collision shop management solutions in the United States, and an RCI certified vendor for both the ERA and POWER dealership management systems. As a long-time partner, Rome Technologies recognizes the value of the RCI program. "The interface we established with Reynolds fills a unique need in the marketplace. We offer a body shop solution that is not available in any DMS application. An interface was necessary and Reynolds did their homework to choose a partner that is the best of the best," explains Scott Rome, President of Rome Technologies. "This joint project empowers auto retailers with an arsenal of data management tools equal to that of independent collision repair shops. We're proud to have brought our CompleteShop program into the auto retailing environment through Reynolds' industry-leading ERA and POWER systems." Quality interfaces like this reinforce the dealer's control over access in a secure environment.
"Reynolds has more than three decades of experience building secure points of integration with OEMs and third parties," says Bob Schaefer, director of Data Services at Reynolds and Reynolds. "We are simplifying the process as much as possible and listening to what our customers have told us is important to them – the ability to easily interact with third party companies that provide valuable services and insight, while not worrying about what that interaction may do to their DMS or how it might compromise their sensitive data." To that end, Reynolds has been and will continue to invest in protecting the dealers that use the ERA and POWER dealership management systems.

The Slur Heard Round the World
by Melissa Ryan
"He's been terrific. He may be a globalist, but I still like him. He's seriously globalist, there's no question, but you know what, in his own way he's also a nationalist because he loves our country." –President Trump, 3/8/2018
Yet another example of how Donald Trump is normalizing white supremacy and nationalism, this week he referred to his outgoing National Economic Council Director Gary Cohn as a globalist. President Trump is actually the third member of his administration to refer to Cohn as a globalist. Both OMB Director Mick Mulveney and Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders used the term to describe Cohn previously.
.@MickMulvaneyOMB's statement on the departure of Gary Cohn. pic.twitter.com/PgpOH6rcdE
— OMB Press (@OMBPress) March 6, 2018
Globalist is used as an anti-semitic slur by the Frog Squad, a core of Donald Trump's base. If you're wondering how it became socially acceptable for the President and multiple White House Staffers to use a slur in official communications, I have an answer: it's the inevitable result of the radicalization that's been happening online for the past couple of years as the International Alternative Right movement continues to absorb disparate online communities. Given that President Trump couldn't bring himself to denounce neo-nazi's after Charlottesville, the fact the normalization of anti-semitic slurs in the White House isn't shocking. It's long past time to stop pretending like Trump's behavior is an anomaly.
Generation Identity: European Far-Right Group to Launch in America
Simon Murdoch of HOPE not hate
A few weeks ago, in this newsletter we published an article by HOPE not hate on Identitarianism in America that explained the increasing influence of this European far-right movement in the USA.
HOPE not hate can now reveal that Generation Identity (GI), the most important European Identitarian network and the group behind the Defend Europe project, is launching stateside, currently recruiting activists and already has events planned.
Find out all the details here.
Threads of Note
- Italian Elections: US news reporting on last week's Italian elections largely ignored the role of mis/disinformation campaigns. If you'd like to learn more DFR Lab has two analysis, one outlining the state of play online right before the election and a second from just after election day, covering foreign influence campaigns. El Pais analyzed Kremlin influence as well. Both BBC News and The Atlantic have good takes on the political implications for Italy, Europe, and beyond.
- Online Organizing: Social media is the worst right now, but here are a couple of examples of successful online organizing that reminded me why I fell in love with politics on the Internet so many years ago. Buzzfeed has the story of a private Facebook group that teachers in West Virginia used to organize, make memes, and coordinate on messaging. The New York Times interviews Parkland Student activists about their own social media mobilization.

Which each wrongful death case, time is of the essence. When a case has reached the settlement stage, it has its own process. The settlement stage could be as lengthy as a few weeks to months depending on the details of the case and if your state is required to have a judge to approve the settlement. A case whereas a probate, Medicare, other governmental entities, or minors are involved may add several months to the settlement timeline.
Where it involves a court approval; there is not general time frame for a judge to approve a wrongful death settlement. It depends on a number of circumstances for each case. Rural areas also add to the timeline as it affects the availability of the court docket and the presiding judge. A rural court system does not convene as often as populous areas.
In the states where judge must approve the settlement: Once the settlement has been approved the petition has to be sent to the payer and must be signed. The check is then issued and delivered to your attorney. It could talk up to two to four weeks to receive the settlement check from the insurance company, sometime sooner and sometimes later. The check goes into the attorney's trust account and you will receive a check from the attorney. You do not receive the check the date of the settlement comes in. Your attorney gives the check a few days to clear, then checks are written or final distribution. That include checks to the client for their portion, check to the attorney for their portion, and checks to any third-party who must be paid out of the proceeds.
In Texas, if all beneficiaries are adults and are agreeable, they can determine a distribution of the settlement.
In Missouri, the court must first approve any settlement, and is responsible for apportioning the settlement in proportion to loss suffered.
In Illinois, damages are distributed to the surviving spouse and/or next of kin according to their level of dependency on the decedent.

"Color My World"
(available for purchase on my web site)
The best surprise arrived in the mail yesterday: A copy of Quilt Art Engagement Calendar 2010 was delivered, and one of my quilts, "Color My World," has been chosen for it! I'm a calendar girl! (Actually, since it's a weekly calendar, the quilt represents "Miss April 5th - 11th" . . .) It's quite exciting for me to see what the quilt looks like when it's been professionally photographed -- the experts obviously know how to do the job much better than I can ever do in my garage. I'm especially honored because my piece is in the company of many extraordinary art quilts. You can pick up a copy of the calendar at many quilt shops or by ordering directly from American Quilter.

Dear Phuket News: I've been hearing a bunch of rumours that the government has just made a new ban on eating, smoking and drinking alcohol at the beaches. Tell me it's not true?! If so, it's really bad news, especially for tourism and the economy. Just like thousands of others, I've been smoking, drinking and eating on the beaches here in Phuket forever, and never had a problem. When I'm on holiday, nothing complements the sun setting into the ocean better than slurping down a few Changs with my som tam and topped up with a ciggy as I enjoy the tide crashing onto the rocks... Now what am I supposed to do? Okay, banning umbrellas is one thing, but now food, cigarettes and beer – enough is enough! How can they just make up new laws like this without warning? Do they want to scare all the expats and tourists away? The way things are going here, I may just have to find a new vacation spot, maybe Bali or Vietnam. – Bangla Leroy
Dear Bangla Leroy: Thank you for your questions. Lately, we've received many similar questions and comments from other readers confused about the new beach order, and we feel that communication of the laws and regulations has been clumsy at best, especially from other media, who seemed to have caused more unnecessary confusion instead of clarity. In any case, we are happy to clear this matter up for you and all other tourists and expats who still don't get it.
First and foremost, the government did not just make up new bans for smoking and drinking on Phuket's beaches. In fact, restrictions on consuming these two types of products in all public places in Thailand have been in place for quite some time, even if the laws were not always enforced in the past.
In regards to food, as we reported on our front page a few weeks back (Volume V, No 8, February 20-26, 2015, or click here for online version), the act of eating has not been banned, despite other media reporting this. But what is restricted by the Public Health Act is the selling of food and disposing of food garbage in public, which has been a problem in Phuket. Thus, authorities have asked for cooperation for people not to bring large meals (and thus rubbish), but small snacks and other waste-free foods will be tolerated. Please read our original story for full details and references to the relevant laws on food in public.
Smoking Restrictions
As for the legislation on smoking and drinking, there are a few laws and public notices to be concerned with. First, for smoking in public, The Non-Smokers Health Protection Act, B.E. 2535 (1992) governs smoking in public, and it defines a "Public place" as "a place or any vehicle where the public is entitled to enter." All beaches in Thailand are public places. As for the actual restriction on smoking in public, we must look to the Ministry of Public Health Notice (Volume 19) of 2010.
The notice includes two categories of restricted places. The first category are places where smoking is outright prohibited and includes:
1. Public Health clinics and hospitals, steam-rooms, herbal saunas, spas and Thai massage parlours
2. Primary and secondary educational facilities
3. Places of benefit to the general public, including private places such as factories, offices and markets
4. Inside vehicles and public transport vehicles including taxis and buses
5. Religious sites
The second category includes places that smoking is prohibited but may be allowed in a designated smoking section, as follows:
1. Any government or state agency office or facility
2. Post-secondary educational institution or facility
3. Petrol service station
4. International airport
According to the announcement, designated smoking areas must not be in any kind of building or structure (with the exception of international airports); must not be located at an entrance or exit; must be clearly marked (with a sign), hidden from view, and must not disturb or irritate any other person whatsoever.
Smoking in a non-smoking area carries a fine of B2,000; Landlords or tenants who fail to place signs in non-smoking and smoking areas also face a fine of B2,000; while landlords or tenants who fail to establish non-smoking and smoking areas in accordance with the announcement face a fine of up to B20,000.
Booze Controls
As for the relevant law on alcohol, we look to the Alcoholic Beverages Control Act of 2551 (2008), which governs all aspects of the substance in the Kingdom.Regarding public spaces (including the beaches), the relevant sections are 27, 31, 39 and 42.
Section 27 covers the places you can't sell alcohol as follows:
1. Temples or places of religious services
2. Public hospitals, clinics ... and drug stores ....
3. Public offices, save shopping or club sites ....
4. Dormitories ....
5. Education institutes ....
6. Petrol stations ... and shops within their precincts
7. Parks provided by the State for recreation of the general public
8. Other places determined by the Minister [of Public Health], with the approval of the Commission
And Section 31 outlines the places you can't consume alcohol:
1. Temples or places of religious services, (except when part of a religious service)
2. Public hospitals and clinics
3. Public offices, save the sites of private residences, clubs or ceremonious parties
4. Education institutes (except at the sites of private residences, clubs or ceremonious parties or the education institutes where the studying of alcoholic beverage mixture takes place and which are licensed according to the law on national education
5. Petrol stations
6. Parks provided by the state for recreation of the general public
7. Other places determined by the Minister [of Public Health] upon advice of the Commission
Finally, Section 39 and 42 state that violating Section 27 and 31 carry imprisonment of up to 6 months in jail, a fine of up to B10,000, or both fine and jail.
In answer to your question about whether the government wants to scare away tourists – it's actually the opposite. Their goal is to attract more tourists, especially the "quality" segment. This is why they are cleaning up the beaches, and starting to get serious about enforcing long-established laws.
They want to improve Thailand's image and reputation, from being a lawless, wild country where anything and everything goes, to one of being a nice and orderly destination where everyone can feel safe knowing that law is respected. If the only thing you have appreciated about Thailand is smoking and drinking on the beach, then perhaps it is time for a change of scenery for you? Let us know how things go. – Editor

YANGON (Reuters) - Standing next to Myanmar's democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi, U.S. President Barack Obama said on Friday that the law barring her from becoming president "doesn't make much sense".
It was the clearest statement Obama has made on Suu Kyi's political future, but he stopped short of explicitly urging that changes be made to allow her to run for the presidency.
Washington has pressed for more change in Myanmar, where political and economic reforms launched two years ago seem to have stalled and taken the sheen off what was seen as a rare foreign policy achievement for Obama.
The United States has signaled its willingness to let the transition take shape and has avoided specific demands. Nevertheless, Obama has told President Thein Sein that the next election, due in 2015, needs to be fair, inclusive and transparent.
"I don't understand a provision that would bar someone from being president because of who their children are - that doesn't make much sense to me," Obama told reporters outside Suu Kyi's lakeside home in Yangon without naming her.
Suu Kyi, like Obama a Nobel laureate, is barred from contesting for president in next year's election because her two sons are foreign nationals.
"From the point of view of democracy, it is not right to discriminate against one particular person," she said of the law.
Many believe the law was written specifically with Suu Kyi in mind. She remains wildly popular and her party - which swept a 1990 vote that was ignored by the military - is expected to do well in next year's election.
Suu Kyi denied that she had differences with the United States over the transition process in Myanmar.
"Our reform process is going through a bumpy patch," she said. "But this bumpy patch is something we can negotiate with commitment and the help and understanding of our friends around the world.
"When Burma becomes a fully functioning democracy in accordance with the will of the people, we will be able to say that among those friends who enabled us to get there, the United States was among the first," she said, using the old name for Myanmar.
Myanmar began its emergence from international pariah status in 2011 when military leaders launched reforms after nearly half a century in power and installed a quasi-civilian government.
But substantial power is still held by the military, and that needs to be dealt with as the country makes the transition to a full democracy, Obama told a group of Myanmar lawmakers at a meeting earlier on Thursday.

Making the most of your VCE – Debunking a few VCE myths!
Making the most of your VCE – Debunking a few VCE myths!
The VCE years are particularly demanding. There is no hiding the fact that students are in for some hard work. Many of the students may have pre-conceived views about how to do well this year. There will be lots of advice provided during the year, not all of it accurate. Here are some of the 'myths' you may have heard about or been provided as advice.
Myth 1: The amount of work you do is directly proportional to your marks.
Yes and no. Of course, you need to put in the effort to do well this year. However, it's not just about how much time and effort you put in, but also how well you use your time, how you prioritise and structure, how you efficiently study and also whether you're productive during the time which you have reserved for studying.
Myth 2: Some people are geniuses, I can never be as good as them.
Absolutely not true!! The first step to succeeding in VCE is to have a goal and to be able to imagine it. Not everyone does well, but then again, a lot of people who do well aren't geniuses. They just work effectively, have a set goal and know what they want to do. Myth 3: I won't get a high ATAR if I don't study high scaling subjects.
It makes no sense to only undertake subjects that scale up. Think about it this way. If you were no good at Mathematics and had to select between Mathematical Methods or doing, for example, IT Applications, you might get something like a 35 in Methods and a 43 in ITA, which essentially will scale to around the same score. So, select subjects you think you will do well in and enjoy learning – don't do it for the scaling. Myth 4: I don't have the best teacher so I won't do well.
It doesn't matter! Year 12 is about you! It's not about your teacher. You're blessed to have such a great community here at St Catherine's and apart from the passionate and committed teachers available, you'll have plenty of access to other resources. These include books, practice exams, friends and most of all, your own efforts!
Myth 5: Doing lots and lots of practice exams for a subject will get me good marks. Maybe! However, it doesn't necessarily work that way. Remember, the most important part of undertaking a VCE subject is not doing practice exams, but knowing and understanding the material in the course. The bulk of your time throughout the year should be devoted to learning and perfecting the components of the course rather than completing practice exams. Of course, regular practice at exams questions is essential. Aim for 10-15 during the year for each subject with more being completed closer to the end of the year.
Lastly, a couple of tips about time management:
- Work in blocks of time. Instead of organising your time loosely, organise your time strictly, and follow this! If you decide to study from 6.00pm till 8.00pm, being strict about it has two benefits. Firstly, you'll be more efficient, no more waiting around till 6.30pm and secondly, you're more likely to persevere till 8.00pm. You're also more likely to push yourself a little harder if you get tired at 7.30pm.
- Fit time to subjects. For example, you want to finish the key themes in Macbeth by the end of this week. This is an example of the topic methodology. It is a lot freer, and you have the opportunity to change subjects when you get sick of it. This keeps you concentrated and doing what you most want to do. But be disciplined enough to finish it within the week!
- Rests. Spend 30% of your time at home devoted to resting, eating and other non-study activities.
Remember, at the end of the day it's really about how well you want to do, working effectively and giving your best. If you do that…it will be a good year for you.

In the present lecture we shall discuss experiments and observation upon the pathological fashion of shaving pubic hair. The inquiry is one of particular interest, on account of the special attention devoted to our teachers' fundamental problem:
for too many years they wasted their appetite licking stinging pussies, and feeling their big and voracious dicks tormented by scratching sharp spears; finally, in recent times, they realised that "the full bush is back".
The au naturel look is a trend resurrected from the '70s and, according to Instagram, "…women are becoming more comfortable discussing their body hair…" – our teachers hope that newly revived trend will last for another 30 years at least.
On the other hand, Razor company creates powerful campaign showing women with pubic hair, in order to nourish their corrupted and perverted cerebral cortex and make everybody believe that there is something ugly or inappropriate about that.
It has become possible to trace how, as a result of different injurious influences, in the last couple of decades, women have been induced to shave their pubic sacred hair, the beauty of the origin of life, the bush in which to dive in, while licking the bit of pink part surfacing from it, and sucking it like an oyster, before the total anal penetration.
Pubic hair is protective: it bars foreign bodies, bacteria, pathogens dirt and germs from entering the sensitive vaginal area. It can minimise the risk of various infections and prevent friction during sex and thus injuries.
All in all, pubic hair fulfils an important function for our body.
But most people remove it, whether by shaving, waxing or laser treatment, some with the excuse that they feel more comfortable, particularly when they have menstruation, other claiming that it is more clean this way, but the bottom line is that this is just a pathological fashion, started around a couple of decades ago or so.
Old passed over cunts excited to evil and seduced by confessors, posing like younger dolls, underage girls before puberty. And this maniacal fashion they passed to "men" too, because men also want to show their shaved "pussy" these days.
"A sample study of 1000 young Germans between the age of 20 and 35 by Neon Magazine found that 67% of the women involved removed all of their pubic hair off, and 33% shaved partially".
"Of the men involved, 50% removed all their pubic hair and 39% partially. Shaving is still the most popular way to get rid of pubic hair".
Pubic hair grows on and around our vulva, not the vagina and it has, it must have, different purpose:
It can indicate biological readiness for reproduction (in our case that does not count, we only suck dicks with mouth and anus, we'll keep our virginity indefinitely and we do not give a fuck about reproduction, too many idiots are around already).
It promotes the retention of pheromones attracting sexual partners for possible conception (in our case it invite the sexual partners to dive in it, lick every single hair, suck the pink part emerging like an oyster and prepare us for the big anal sex party).
It protects the genital area from friction during exercise or sexual intercourse (licking a shaved pussy means scratching one's lips and tongue against very hard and sharp newly growing stingers).
It helps maintain the optimal temperature in the pubic region when the weather is too hot or too cold (this hypothesis probably applies to those women in the african tribes, or to others that for different reason walk around without drawers).
Nature does not create anything superfluous, hence
A smart woman cuts her nails, does not poison them with nail varnish, does not spoil her figure with lousy tattoos or, worse, piercings and washes her hands before sticking her fingers in her vagina. Cutting nails is good. Cutting pubic hair is a mortal sin.
A good tailor would dress a beautiful hairy pussy with a pigiama made of tequila and saliva.
When spring come, we celebrate the pubic bush cultivating weigela, a deciduous shrub widely cultivated for its lovely red flowers.
A bit of real sweat invites a body to glide all over the host. And if the host's pubic area is hairy, the sliding is total, and not in theory. Who wouldn't want to lick all over, and over and over again, a glamorous sweaty, hairy & ready lady?
Hairy is beautiful: you can dive in it, drink all the juice, and then proceed for total anal penetration. It works, because the ass is as glorious as the pubic hair. The way we explore the area in the whole, shows we are very well ready for taking in in another hole. We are in for a long series of deep anal penetration sessions.
(Many Modest Webcam Girls are going back growing pubic hair too).

Or, you get one life; make the most of each day.
Thanks to the ever young Frank Spencer of 1970's comedy fame, for a number of memorable catchphrases and cod psychology. However, I, like Frank, perhaps on occasion can be accused of being naïve. Like him, I am not perturbed by that, in that sometimes, I now know that, in order to look incredibly superior, some people seek to belittle others. If you can see through that, then that can place you in a sound position, as the intended hurt may be lessened.
There is a lot in the world to rail about and, as a parent and grandparent, I am regularly exercised by the futures for my children and their children. Despite having been born in the (early) 1950s and able to have a memory of the last post-war rationing, I have to say that I think I had a better childhood than my grandchildren's generation will have. It was something of a surprise to come across an article in the Guardian that discussed the changes in the words within the Oxford Junior Dictionary, where a large number of words describing the natural world have been removed, to be replaced by words that can only be describe as curricular and digital media related. Now, I know that it is difficult to get children out of the house at times, but, if the words aren't in the dictionary, they cannot even be stumbled upon to awaken some curiosity.
I've written about my own childhood in other blogs; much of it spent outside, in true 1950s style, exploring, making dens, collecting things, making friends, falling over/out of trees, getting up and keeping going, so as not to lose face. Outside was space to run, jump and climb, to stop and look at something unusual, to surmise and be generally curious. I-spy books, tea card series and the Observer series supported looking around and identifying what we saw. Someone knew, and if not, we knew someone who would, so we asked. This was free exercise, fresh air and easy distraction, which may not be available today to all children.
My generation went into university or training colleges for free, and being from a low income household, I got a grant; not enough to make me rich and I didn't get an extra penny from parents. All my holidays were spent working in holiday camps or bars. When I emerged as a teacher and married, the first house was bought on four times one income (Twice joint was the phrase). Today, the same house would require a significant deposit and at least ten times a teacher starting salary. Is it any wonder that the aspirations and energies of today's similar generation may be dampened, especially as they now come from uni with a whopping debt? I remember distinctly the impact of rising interest rates on our lifestyle. Significant choices had to be made, and, when they reached 15%, the choices were to do with eating habits. It was the point where vegetarianism was an economic survival strategy, as pulses cost significantly less than meat, and if we wanted to give the children meat, lentils and beans would give us our protein. Today's interest rates are historically miniscule; what will happen when they rise? We know that money stress has a significant demoralising effect, with an impact on children in the worst cases.
Education has become the great whipping post for all shades of politicians. With six grandchildren, already in, or who will enter education in the next four years, I have a continuing interest. Now, I don't want to accuse the politicians of playing with these children's lives, but that in reality is what they do. Politicians, who may never have taught children, advised, perhaps by people who may be exceptionally bright outcomes of their education, but never taught, or by a range of hand-picked "experts", who decide what is the best for all schools, in terms of the offered curriculum, but also in terms of the external systems within which they will operate. The semi-abstract nature of the decision-making can seem to create a divide between intention and outcomes, as successive layers in the system interpret the edicts from on high, adding their own twist for good measure. It can sometimes feel like an episode of "Wolf Hall", with a slight wondering who is a likely candidate for the chop. That is more likely to be the bottom of the pile, the schools, who can feel very vulnerable as their interpretations of expectation are interrogated by the external force of Ofsted. Or, in the frenzied world of education coteries, anyone who doesn't believe ( eg in systematic synthetic phonics)
It can feel that everyone knows better than teachers; the cliché that everyone's been to school so is an expert, can sometimes ring true. However, a new phenomenon, of the celebrity teacher expert, is on the rise, as a result of blogging and Twitter sometimes challenging centrally held views. There have been a number of examples over the past couple of years where the centre has talked to the ordinary teacher.
There is a potential danger in that arrangement, in that celebrity teachers are then created, whose words themselves become gospel. Given the age range of education, expertise and success in one realm doesn't make you an expert in all. Success is often context dependent.
It can all combine to create insecurity where it is most needed, in the teachers in the classrooms with the children for whom they have responsibility. Trying to second guess the intentions of others is a weakness in the system. SLT have been guilty of that and some still are, trying to work out what Ofsted want. In that scenario, teachers try to guess what SLT want, so can skew their working habits to become less productive.
The teacher who knows their children well, knows their stuff well and can make learning interesting, to me is the bedrock of good and better teaching. While everyone wants each and every child to succeed as they pass through school, to squeeze the system so that it approaches breaking point is not productive either. Personally, I'd rather children left Primary school with a good basic, but broad interest in their world and the necessary English and Maths skills to interpret it effectively and with articulacy to share their insights, so that transfer to Secondary was a continuation of that interest.
Children who enjoy learning have more chance to make progress; simples. Let's make education a case of supported growing up.
Every day and in every way
I'm getting better and better.
What better mantra could you have for education?

Sessions refer to the connection session Oracle GoldenGate extract and replicat processes to the source/target data store. Oracle GoldenGate extract and replicat processes set up the session character set when connecting to the databases.
The globalization process is explained as shown in the following diagram:
The basic rules include:
The discussion now based on the current version of Oracle GoldenGate: 126.96.36.199.1. If you'd like to know prior version support and the differences across releases, please read this: What's New in Oracle GoldenGate Globalization Support?
Let's learn this from some examples:
Example 1: Using NOCHARSETCONVERSION to let Oracle GoldenGate use target client libraries to perform the character set conversion.
Example 2: How to use CHARMAP for invalid character set replacement?
Example 3: Replicat MySQL Database with DB Charset is UTF8 but one column in UTFMB4
DB charset : UTF8
One of Table is,
col1 : UTF8
col2 : UTF8
col3 : UTF8MB4
Solution: Utf8mb4 is a superset of utf8. In this case the SESSIONCHARSET can be set to be UTF-8.
If you are not familiar with Oracle GoldenGate's handling of character set encoding, please read Oracle GoldenGate Globalization first.
For Informix, Oracle GoldenGate extract and replicat both use the database characters (DB_LOCAL) as the session character set. There is no need to set the SESSIONCHARSET parameter. For database character set, you can check the Informix IDS database character set with the following SQL query:
Select site from systables where tabid=91;
The restrictions is the Informix IDS database charsets for source database and syscdc1 should be the same.

How to Create Bi-Directional Replication for IBM Informix IDS Database with Oracle GoldenGate?
Let's talk about how to setup a bi-directional replication for IBM Informix IDS databases with Oracle GoldenGate 18.104.22.168.0.
This tutorial provides a step-by-step example for setting up an one-way replication between Informix IDS databases.
Installing Oracle GoldenGate is very straight forward. You just need to unzip the downloaded file and run the create subdirs command in GGSCI to create the directory structure for the Oracle GoldenGate installation.To start the Oracle GoldenGate manager, you can configure the port and parameters of the manager by setting up the parameter file. This tutorial provides an example.
Step 1: Unzip the Oracle GoldenGate software and start the GGSCI
Why I get the "The program can't start because MSVCP100.dll is missing from your computer error?
Answer: In searching for an answer to this, I was able to identify that this DLL is a part of the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistribution Package (x64) (download here). After installing the package, the GGSCI command will run successfully.
Step 2: Create the directory structure.
GGSCI> create subdirs
Creating subdirectories under current directory /home/informix/ogg
Parameter files /home/informix/ogg/dirprm: already exists
Report files /home/informix/ogg/dirrpt: created
Checkpoint files /home/informix/ogg/dirchk: created
Process status files /home/informix/ogg/dirpcs: created
SQL script files /home/informix/ogg/dirsql: created
Database definitions files /home/informix/ogg/dirdef: created
Extract data files /home/informix/ogg/dirdat: created
Temporary files /home/informix/ogg/dirtmp: created
Credential store files /home/informix/ogg/dircrd: created
Masterkey wallet files /home/informix/ogg/dirwlt: created
Dump files /home/informix/ogg/dirdmp: created
Step 3: Connect to Source Database
GGSCI (ogg-1.pssa.us.oracle.com) 1> dblogin sourcedb syscdcv1
2013-10-25 11:42:23 INFO OGG-03036 Database character set identified as ISO-8859-1. Locale: en_US.
2013-10-25 11:42:23 INFO OGG-03037 Session character set identified as UTF-8.
Successfully logged into database.
Step 4: Configure and Start the Oracle GoldenGate Manager
GGSCI> edit param mgr
PURGEOLDEXTRACTS ./dirdat/*, USECHECKPOINTS
GGSCI> start mgr
Manager started.
GGSCI> info mgr
Manager is running (IP port brown.oracle.jp.15000, Process ID 18105).
Now, the Oracle GoldenGate is ready for use.
Oracle GoldenGate for Informix uses ODBC to talk to the source and target databases. Therefore, you need to setup the ODBC connections. This tutorial explains the steps needed for this setup.
Oracle GoldenGate for Informix 126.96.36.199.0 was released on OTN 9/17/2014. In this version, the support is available on the following platforms:

1999 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VI – Today's Rally Tempter
These just get better with age!
The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI is the sixth generation of one of Japan's most iconic, rally-bred vehicles.
Replacing the outgoing Evolution V, the Evo VI was first released in January 1999 and stayed in production until February 2001.
Changes made over its predecessor were mainly focussed at improving mechanical longevity, with the Evo VI receiving a larger intercooler, larger oil cooler, new pistons and a titanium-aluminide turbine wheel.
The Evo VI also scored cosmetic changes such as smaller fog lights that were repositioned on the front bumper for better air flow over the front of the car.
Power was derived from the punchy 4G63T 2.0lt, turbocharged, inline four-cylinder motor which produced 209kW and 373Nm of torque.
The oomph from this motor sent its power to all four wheels of the Lancer via a five-speed manual transmission. No automatic option was offered.
The Evo could be had in two different levels of specification; the RS and the GSR. In addition, the limited edition Tommi Mäkinen Evo VI could also be had in RS and GSR guise.
This particular Lancer Evo VI is a '99 model and, according to the seller, the vehicle has travelled an original 140,000 kilometres from new.
The EVO VI is $23,990 and anyone interested in this rally-bred icon can view the full listing here.

Tarleton students react to Dr. Dottavio stepping down
Based on Reporting by Blayne Ballard, Hadley Butler, Alexis Burkett, Kaia Clark, Leighann Elder, Abigail Farrer, Hayley Gillespie, Brandon Gutierrez, Jadie Hargrove, Hannah Herring, Hannah Holmes, Kathryn Irvin, Shelby Lawless, Tierra Mauney, Joseph Seaman, Bailey Templin, Jordyn Tipps and Caroline Wolf. —
After serving Tarleton State University as the president for the last 11 years, Dr. F. Dominic Dottavio will be stepping down from his position on Aug. 31, according to a letter sent by Dottavio from the President's office. Texan News interviewed about their reactions to the Dottavio's announcement.
"I think Dr. Dottavio's legacy is his positive impact on Tarleton. We now have a new campus in Fort Worth, a new engineering building, a new stadium and a beautiful campus with numbers of students growing every year," said Lauren Butler, a senior kinesiology major. "These moves were necessary for growing numbers (of students) and would not have happened without Dr. Dottavio's say."
Some students say Dottavio stepping down makes them feel emotional.
"When I first heard the news about Dr. D stepping down, it touched my heart, because he is like a father figure," said Simone Dickson, a sophomore nursing major. "He encourages you to do good in school, and better yourself."
"He has been very inspirational to my success in college," said Tyler Schuster, a junior. "He was more than a president. He was a friend."
Nikki Salker, junior wildlife major, said "I was a little upset when I heard about Dr. D leaving. He's made such a big impact on this campus and is so personable with each student."
Naoni Thatsanpon, junior biomedical science major said "Whoever steps up to become the president needs to not only fulfill the role but surpass (the role). He was always at events such as Duck Camp and takes part of them. You can tell he takes part and cares about the students."
Freshman animal science production major, Meagan Kauffman expressed "As upsetting as it is that he's stepping down, I think everyone should be excited that he's taking on a new task and doing what he wants to do with his life. You're never too old to answer the question 'what do you want to do when you grow up?' because we are all learning and wanting new things! I wish him the best of luck."
Some students said they imagine the president's job to be very stressful.
"I think he may be stepping down to alleviate some of the pressure as a president and focus on something that he seems to enjoy, which is being a professor," said freshman Faith Brandh. "He may also want to get more (of a) one-on-one connection with students."
Others said they can't imagine how exhausting the job of president may be.
"Being around as many youths as he is constantly, you kind of get run down," said Becca Manfredi, a freshman animal science major. "I think he's honestly just tired."
Devin Hughes, freshman agricultural communications major, said, "I feel like he's stepping down to give more time to his family and live a happier life. I believe he is coming back as a professor so he can still be involved at Tarleton due to how it has impacted his life."
One student feels like this is a good time for Dottavio to step down.
"It's the perfect time (to step down)," said Kaley Dowell, sophomore psychology major. "Tarleton is on its way to becoming a D1 school so it's very far in the process and the future looks bright. He wants somebody who can bring some more ideas into the school. I think he is coming back (to teach) because he loves Tarleton so much. He enjoys being with the students and loving all the students."
Students appreciated seeing him at events and on campus.
"He's always at everything," Grace Clark, freshman agriculture business major said, "Dottavio and his wife both. They're always smiling, like I've never seen them not smile. I feel like the next president is going to have a lot to do because he's so involved. He's literally at everything, and he kept up with every organization."
"Him and his wife both are so present at everything," said Jessica Doty, an alumni who graduated in 2018 with a degree in biology. "You see them walking on campus and they call you by name. There's been nothing but positivity from both of them. They really focus on the core values, and I think that really stems from him because he lives those out daily."
Seeing Dottavio on campus helped freshman agriculture business major, Kati Marcantel, feel at home on campus.
"As soon as I stepped on campus, I felt like I was at home and Dr. Dottavio definitely had something to do with that," said Marcantel. "He would greet students and faculty while passing by and sometimes hold conversations while around campus."
Tristen Foster is disappointed that he won't be receiving his diploma from Dottavio: "I was looking forward to him handing me my diploma in May 2020, I was so excited to yet again shake his hand and feel like someone in the university is proud of me."
Students and faculty alike said they hope whoever succeeds Dottavio will honor Tarleton's traditions.
"I think it's always good to have new stuff come in," said junior Gabby Cortez. "But it (will) be hard trying to change our old ways since we are so used to them."
Sociology Professor Dr. Robert Cavazos said Tarleton's new president "should uphold the traditions, and he or she, depending on who it is, will bring in their own traditions as well and their own values and try to instill some of those in Tarleton."
"He's done so much good for the university, and he thinks he's reached his potential," Doty added. "Long story short, Dr. D is a humble man who realizes there is someone who can bring fresh ideas to the university."

The First Couple's Counseling Session and What to Expect
Most relationships at some point experience challenges. Life events such as major illness or disease, health challenges, betrayal, and financial problems can certainly stress a relationship. Many couples will experience communication and conflict difficulties. When a couple feels they are unable to solve their problems on their own, one or both partners may decide to seek the help of an objective third party. It may be a mutual decision, or one partner in distress may seek help and ask the other to join. Whatever the situation, it is important for one or both parties to seek help early, and not wait until one or both partners are ready to leave the relationship. When you or your partner are having trouble communicating, managing conflict, stuck in negative patterns of interacting or become emotionally disconnected, it is time to get help.
A good licensed couple's therapist will listen, respect, understand and facilitate better interaction between partners. The therapist can help the couple to examine perceptions and expectations that underlie discord and core issues.
When choosing the right couple's therapist, it is important to know that a relationship therapist has trained for and developed specialized skills and expertise that will play a major role in the couple's success. It is a good idea to ask specifically about a therapist's education, training and expertise in couple's therapy.
Dr. Angela Bisignano is a licensed clinical psychologist in the South Bay of Los Angeles County, serving the communities the Palos Verdes Peninsula and beach cities. She specializes in relationship counseling. She understands that healthy relationships require cultivation with care and effective communication.
Dr. Bisignano will provide you with the tools, resources and techniques that allow you to take control of your relationship and to heal together. Her goal is to help you develop deeper connection, to support, and strengthen your relationship. Managing conflict, creating shared meaning, and a developing a positive perspective contribute to happiness and life satisfaction. Fulfilling relationships take time and commitment.
Dr. Bisignano answers your questions about what to expect during your first therapy session. She will explain the research – based approaches that have been proven successful with couples and that she uses in her practice.
What can a couple expect in their first session with you?
In our first initial session together I will meet with both partners. This is an introduction to me and to the therapy process. I will ask questions about what brings you into therapy at this time. What you believe are some of the main issues you are struggling with. I will ask questions about your relationship and your story together. We will also discover if we are a good fit for the therapeutic process. You will have an opportunity to ask me questions.
What can a couple expect after their Intake Session?
If we feel it is a good fit after the initial session and I believe I can help you, I will schedule an individual session with each of you. I will also have you take some assessments to further develop my understanding of your relationship and challenges. After I have conducted my initial intakes and assessments I form a treatment plan based on what I believe is the best strategy for helping you. I will then schedule our feedback session where I present the results of my assessment and provide you with my treatment plan. The treatment plan is like a roadmap that guides us during therapy.
What if one partner is not motivated or willing to participate in the process?
It is important that both partners are willing to participate in therapy. If one partner is not motivated or reluctant for whatever reason, it can hinder or thwart the therapeutic process. I generally recommend both people be willing to participate in therapy. If one of the partners has reservations or concerns, I offer a complimentary phone session to answer any questions they may have. I find this often puts people at ease if they can first talk with me before making an appointment.
How long does couple's therapy take?
This is a common question. Every couple is different and has varying degrees of challenges they may be dealing with. If a couple is motivated and willing to do the work they will finish therapy sooner than a couple who doesn't do the work. I have about 45 minutes a week with most of my couples. During this time, I have my couples engage in the therapeutic process which involves learning new relationship skills, healthy communication, strategies to help couples heal, deepen their emotional connection and learn to strengthen their relationship. I often have couples practice the skills and tools I give them during our session. If couples practice and do the work, they will have better relationships.
What type of couple's therapy do you do?
My approach to couple's therapy is informed by the Gottman Method, Attachment theory and Interpersonal Neurobiology.
What is the Gottman Method?
The Gottman Method for Couples Therapy is a scientifically-based approach developed by Dr. John Gottman. He is one of the premier researchers in couples therapy. Dr. Gottman has over 4 decades of evidence-based research that undergirds his methodology. Dr. Gottman has studied what challenges many couples experience and developed tools and strategies to help with difficulties, such as communication, managing conflict, healthy interaction, and emotional connection. He has also studied what emotionally intelligent couples do. He has developed his skills and strategies based on his findings.
What is Attachment Theory?
Attachment Theory was first introduced and studied by Dr. John Bowlby. He looked at how our first primary relationships, usually with our mother and / or our father, influence us. He believed that our first experience with love and relationships is formed by our interactions with our primary care givers. Bowlby was instrumental in helping us to understand that these primary relationships in our lives create deep and enduring emotional bonds. According to Bowlby, our attachment with them whether secure or insecure, can affect our other relationships. We form internalized models of what love and attachment mean based on our relationships with our primary caregivers.
Later in the work of Mary Ainsworth, Bowlby's hypothesis was tested in the Strange Situation Experiment. Ainsworth found that we generally have one of 3 styles of attachment: secure, insecure avoidant or insecure anxious. Over the last decade researchers are continuing to carry out and further research in this area. Dr. Sue Johnson and her work with Emotionally Focused Therapy is one example of attachment theory influencing current research and practice.
What is interpersonal neurobiology?
Interpersonal neurobiology, introduced by Dr. Dan Siegel, is a theory that helps us understand human development and functioning as being the result of the affiliation between the mind, body and relationships. It is an interdisciplinary field that brings together a wide array of scientific disciplines to help understand the mind, human experience and mental well-being. Interpersonal neurobiology is a scientifically grounded approach that helps us to understand the processes of integration, regulation and the importance of relational experiences in the development of a healthy mind.
