Project Description
Supreme Property Management
This was an all too familiar story I heard from this client. He had a website designed/developed by LeadPages.com–the popular web design/development firm, but he had grown dissatisfied with the poor results and lack of support he was receiving, despite the high fees he was paying constantly to "optimize" his SEO. I find that this and many other website building services that promise astounding lead-generation or significant SEO positioning. The problem is that they place SEO "tricks" above good customer experience. You can usually I.D. these sites by the way the copy seems stuffed with all types of search terms and phrases into every headline and body text, making it incoherent at times. While they may do a good job attracting users to visit the site, they fail miserably in making a conversion, sale, or contact because the website is awkward and amateur in presenting the business. These providers also like to "hold ransom" your domain. They own it when they purchased it "for you" when you signed up. Its just one one of the many "beneficial services" they provide.
We decided to go with an organic SEO approach. We revisited the key components of the services provided and narrowed them down to 4 featured areas. LeadPages had nine. Many of these were identical items using different titles. By keeping it simple (4), users could more easily remember the types of services the website owner provided–and make their selection of which they want to learn more. Working with a professional writer, we fleshed out sections of copy that were terrible and replaced it with well-written copy.

Terrified British family say they're 'sitting ducks' in Hurricane Irma's path as they claim Thomas Cook is ignoring pleas to get them off Cayo Coco island
Martin McCreadie, his wife Caroline and their four-year-old daughter Isla had been on holiday on the island of Caya Coco off the coast of Cuba for ten days as the storm moved towards them
A TERRIFIED Brit family in the path of Hurricane Irma has begged Thomas Cook to help them flee the island before it hits.
Martin McCreadie, his wife Caroline and their four-year-old daughter Isla were stranded like "sitting ducks" on the island of Cayo Coco, in the Jardines del Rey chain off the coast of Cuba.
The category five storm is one of the most powerful to come from the Atlantic in a century and is set to hit the paradise island tomorrow.
She has already claimed the lives of ten people as she tears through the Caribbean.
The 36-year-old said they had no way of getting off the island without help from Thomas Cook and had pleaded with them to help him off the island.
As it turned it was evacuated by Cuban authorities after those on island expressed concerns.
Martin told the Daily Record: "We are completely at their mercy. There is no way off this island.
"The window of opportunity to get us out of here is closing.
"We are talking about a category five hurricane hitting this little island in a matter of hours and there is no means of escape if they don't fly us out.
"It's a tiny island with no busses or trains. Worried family at home keep telling us to leave but we need Thomas Cook's help to get out."
The family, from Clarkston, East Renfrewshire, have been on holiday for 10 days at the Memories Flamenco Beach Resort.
He says he contacted his holiday rep ad was told not to worry as the route of Irma was uncertain and to "relax and have a drink by the pool".
A spokesman for Thomas Cook said: "The Cuban authorities have issued an evacuation of Cayo Coco, Cayo Guillermo and Cayo Santa Maria for the morning of Thursday 7 September.
"Our special assistance team is now in resort helping our customers prepare for evacuation and will remain with them throughout.
"As with all hurricanes, the local government has tried and tested procedures which are activated when a hurricane warning is issued and we are working with them to keep our customers as safe, comfortable and well-informed as possible."
The news comes as Florida warns it is rapidly running out of hotel rooms leaving stranded Brits scrambling for shelter.
Thousands of people from South Florida have headed north to the Orlando area, popular with British tourists for refuge as the storm barrels towards the US, reports the Orlando Sentinel.
Richard Branson's son has shared a shocking video showing scenes of utter devastation after deadly Hurricane Irma pummelled the British Virgin Islands.
He revealed his billionaire dad's private Necker Island was completely destroyed by the monster storm, but assured that "all humans survived" at the luxury hideaway.
The Virgin boss hid in his wine cellar along with his staff members as the eye of the hurricane – that has claimed at least 10 lives – passed over the Caribbean retreat.
His son, Sam, shared traumatic footage of the carnage on neighbouring Tortola after hurricane Irma ripped roofs off houses and caused flooding.
"Most buildings completely destroyed. Many left homeless. Beyond tragic. My deepest wishes go to all those affected," he captioned the video.
Fears are also growing for a pregnant British mum and her beauty queen sister who are missing after deadly Hurricane Irma savaged the Caribbean island of Barbuda.
The holiday paradise was reduced to rubble when the most powerful Atlantic Ocean storm ever recorded smashed through the region on a devastating path to the US.
At least 10 people are believed to have died - a two-year-old child in Barbuda, one person in Anguilla, and eight in the French part of St Martin.
Afiya Frank, 27, and former beauty queen and Miss Antigua Asha Frank, 29, from Suffolk, have not been heard from since around 10.30pm last night.

Students at the University of Cape Town, and at all other South African higher education institutions, navigate an array of challenges in their daily struggle to obtain an education. Not least amongst these is rising costs – not just of tuition, but of all the ancillary aspects entailed in being at a university.
In addition to this, there are challenges of epistemological access, where students struggle to engage with propositional or more abstract forms of knowledge, particularly as they transition between school and university. Moreover, students face the struggle to be heard and to have their point of view, their everyday lived realities, represented in the body of knowledge that they are engaging with and helping to create.
The nett result of this situation is wide-scale exclusion, which is a social justice issue. This exclusion leaves everyone in the system the poorer for it in terms of the price we pay for a lack of diversity and the burden students are expected to bear.
The theme of this year's Open Education Week seminar at the University of Cape Town (UCT) was "Open education and social justice: Towards equitable access through participation". In recognising that many aspects of the South African higher education system are fundamentally unjust, the thematic focus attempted to shine a light on social justice challenges and surface possible strategies (of both the institution and individual academics) which might help to address current inequities.
The event also served as the official launch the UNESCO Chair in Open Education and Social Justice, which was recently awarded to Associate Professor Cheryl Hodgkinson-Williams in UCT's Centre for Innovation in Learning and Teaching in recognition of her long-standing commitment to the field of open education research.
In her opening address <video>, UCT Vice-Chancellor Prof. Mamokgethi Phakeng highlighted the fact that social justice is an issue which the university grapples with on an everyday basis, particularly in relation to the challenges associated with the student protests which have taken place in South Africa over the past few years. Acknowledging the role that open education has to play in the current South African context, Prof. Phakeng highlighted the fact that the institution could not single-handedly address the issue of access to education in South Africa, but much could be done in terms of making the knowledge it produces openly available.
In congratulating A/Prof Cheryl Hodgkinson-Williams on the UNESCO Chair award, Prof. Phakeng described the Chair as as having a critical voice in challenging prevailing discourses from the Global North. She also said the Chair's location within UCT served as a challenge to the institution, particularly in terms of engaging with and interrogating the tools which are currently available to enable not only access, but participation and success.
In her inaugural address <video> as UNESCO Chair, titled "Open education and social justice: Value propositions for higher education" <slides>, A/Prof Hodgkinson-Williams spoke about social justice in higher education as the environment that we need to create in order for people to be able to participate equally in society. She highlighted the fact that this is about cultural, economic and political participation, and that open education comes with the opportunity to provide more equitable access to learning materials as well as greater representation in what is being taught and how teaching is delivered. What we are looking for in social justice and education, she explained, is an opportunity to have contextually appropriate materials where we can ensure cultural equality.
The presentation <video> by Jill Claassen, Lena Nyahodza and Dr Reggie Raju on "UCT Libraries' social justice strategy through open educational resources" highlighted the role of open education in promoting lifelong learning and human development as well as innovation and change. Understanding the significance of innovation to support teaching and learning and engaged scholarship for social justice, UCT Libraries has adopted technologies to establish infrastructure for open publishing which values the sharing of open educational resources (OER), including open textbooks. The OpenUCT repository serves as a platform for promoting the sharing of OER, while the OpenUCT Publications platform provides an institutional mechanism for publishing monographs and open textbooks.
The presentation <video> on the "Digital Open Textbooks for Development" (DOT4D) project by Principal Investigator Dr Glenda Cox further explored the role of open textbooks in addressing issues of access and representation at UCT. Dr Cox referenced a number of open textbook development initiatives in which educators are exploring new forms of pedagogical and technological innovation, as well as multilingualism and student-centred content creation processes. She highlighted concerns around reward systems which are not currently geared towards recognising innovation in teaching and learning, and the need to address sustainability mechanisms for open content creation. Within this context, institutional support and resourcing is itself a key structural social justice issue in terms of ensuring parity of participation in the emerging field of open textbook publishing.
The presentation <video> on "Drawing out of the box: Student-led open textbook development" by Kensleyrao Apajee showcased a student-led initiative to develop an open textbook for Mechanical Engineering undergraduates at UCT. Apajee, who has been the head tutor for Engineering Drawing at UCT since 2017, described how he identified a gap in the visualisation skills of undergraduate students which appears to be compounded by economic disadvantage in instances where school-leavers have not had an adequate basic education. Receiving a grant from the DOT4D project has enabled him to embark on the development of an open textbook which is tailor-made for local context and aims to eliminate the need for private tutoring.
The final presentation <video>, "How open and healthy are open educational resources in the Health Sciences Faculty at UCT?" by Gregory Doyle and Veronica Mitchell, provided an overview of the OER initiative run by the Department of Health Sciences Education at UCT since 2008. The presentation profiled the efforts of a number of OER champions producing OER in the faculty, while also drawing attention to challenges related to human capacity, siloed institutional culture, restrictive policies, and changes in leadership and levels of support. The presentation also drew attention to the need for institutional incentives and transformation of the current reward systems to better recognise educators who are doing groundbreaking work in developing and publishing open teaching resources.
The Open Education Week seminar at UCT on 6 March was one of 190 events in 23 countries hosted in the week of 4-8 March 2019. UCT is a member of the international Open Education Consortium and has participated in Open Education Week since the 2012 inception of this international event aimed at promoting open educational practices and the use of open resources.

The Eastern European country of Albania, signed a deal with German project management firm Max Streicher this week, to create a company that will build a € 200 million ($227.1 million) power line to Italy, reports Reuters.
The signing took place in Munich and was attended by Albanian minister of Energy and Industry, Damian Gjiknuri.
According to Albania's Energy Ministry, the German firm will lead a consortium which will conduct a feasibility study, secure financing and bring on board other investors for the project.
The Albanian prime minister Edi Rama, took to his twitter account, in support deal saying: "An agreement was signed in Germany on a power line connection with Italy. This is key to energy restoration in the country"
Albania's geographical location allows gas to be piped to Europe, through the Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) and passes via Greece and Albania to Italy.
The Energy Ministry added: "The European Union considered the project of great interest because it fostered energy security and integrated the region of South Eastern Europe to the European energy market".
The deal builds on the relationship between Germany and Albania, when in 2013, Max Streicher, financed the construction of a 400kV transmission line – linking the grids of Albania and Kosovo.
Albania's government has also begun a campaign to tackle electricity theft and upgrade its network in a bid to retain profitability in the electricity sector.

In the crash area of the Russian Su-27 fighter, American aviation activity was noticed.
In the crash area of the Russian Su-27 fighter in the Black Sea, suspicious activity of the US Air Force was noticed. We are talking about the many hours of flight of US military aircraft, which, obviously. could create obstacles to finding the crash site of an airplane and a catapulted pilot.
According to the Planeradar information resource, the American strategic unmanned aerial vehicle of the reconnaissance type RQ-4B Global Hawk circled the coast of Crimea for a long time, being over the area where the Russian combat aircraft crashed.
"Strategic reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicle RQ-4B-30 Global Hawk, US Air Force, callsign # FORTE10, took off from Sigonella air base, carried out reconnaissance flight along the Black Sea coast of Russia"- reports "Planeradar"
The purpose of the completed flight has not yet been disclosed, however, it is known that the flight route of the U.S. strategic unmanned aerial vehicle ran almost along the entire Black Sea coast of Russia, although it is possible that the drone could collect data on the progress of the search and rescue operation.
and what. in connection with the situation. it was impossible to declare the square closed to the flights of another's aviation and then remove this aircraft. demonstrating the skills and strength of air defense?

Wok Box Fresh Asian Kitchen Opens Newest Restaurant in Arlington
June 05, 2015 // Franchising.com // SURREY, British Columbia – Wok Box Fresh Asian Kitchen, a Canadian-based fast-casual chain which offers cuisine from 10 different Asian countries, has opened its latest restaurant in Arlington, Texas.
Located in the College Plaza at 1308 South Cooper Street, the new restaurant is the second of 30 planned for the Metroplex over the next 10 years. The area's first location opened last year in Irving.
"Wok Box brings authentic flavors from all across Asia into communities where these experiences are lacking. Arlington presents a great opportunity for Wok Box to expose a wide range of customers to high quality product in a fast casual environment," said Wok Box CEO Lawrence Eade. "Customers come back to us again and again because of the experience and value at Wok Box. We look forward to winning over the people of Arlington, as well as the broader Dallas-Fort Worth area, as we have across many other markets."
Wok Box specializes in fresh, wok-cooked Asian cuisine, offering simple but extensive menu options influenced by the flavors of 10 Asian regions, including Thailand, Malaysia, Mongolia, Singapore, Korea, China, Japan, India, Cambodia and Vietnam.
The main meals consist of fresh stirfy noodle boxes, rice boxes and Asian street tacos. After choosing their base, customers pick from one of five proteins – grilled chicken, grilled beef, grilled pork, wok'd shrimp or wok'd tofu – before further customizing their meal with a selection of eight signature sauces and 14 toppings. There are also four classic boxes to choose from.
In addition to the three main entrée categories, Wok Box offers Asian salads and small bites like spring rolls, chicken gyozas, edamame and cheesy kimchi fire balls.
Many dishes can be made vegetarian, vegan or wheat-free, and in most cases are served in five minutes or less.
"We're totally different than anything else in the Arlington fast-casual segment, providing eager eaters with a craving for Asian-inspired meals a variety of multi-faceted flavors under one roof," said Jags Patel, the Master Developer who owns the rights to the North and West Texas market. "We're not just Japanese, we're not Chinese, we're not Thai. We're the best of all those countries. And then some."
Patel is currently eyeing other areas for additional stores, including Frisco, Keller, Flower Mound and Richardson, among others.
About Wok Box Fresh Asian Kitchen
Founded in 2004 as a single store in downtown Edmonton, Alberta, Wok Box sets itself apart from other quick service chains by offering innovative, fresh and healthy Asian dishes made from natural ingredients and influenced by the flavors of Thailand, Malaysia, Mongolia, Singapore, Korea, China, Japan, India, Cambodia and Vietnam.

I have this form which tells me how long there was no sign of life from a contact. The current calculation is a standard datediff finding the difference between the last contact field and the current date. As such I can display either number of days or number of months or number of years.
However as the values can be large something like 231 month is pretty meaningless, as is a null year if the period is only 15 days.
Studied the HSQL man for functions, but not sure if a function exists which will take the datediff integer and convert it into something like
29 days or
1 month and 2 days or
3 years 4 months 12 days
Guess one way is to take the integer (which is days) and divide it by 12
if the result is greater then 1 ignore and divide by 365.35 and so forth and then use concatenation to put the strings together like 3 months and 4 days etc.
I wonder if there is a less painful solution ?

This movie is in Turkish and German. Carina Chocano's Review in the Los Angeles Times
Another review, by Roger Ebert, ends with this: "Now if five, or four, of the characters found out how they were connected, what difference would that make? We are all connected, if only we could stand tall enough, see widely enough and understand adequately. Mere plot points are meaningless. Fatih Akin wants us to realize that, I believe, and he also wants us to understand his creatures, who are for the most part good people, have good intentions, make mistakes, suffer for their errors and try to soldier on, as do we all."
Ebert's review
I can tie this movie and how it made me feel to the feeling of estrangement from a child whom I love but whose conduct is insufferable, and the conscious choice to remain at a painful distance, rather than seek a connection that I crave. I feel the melancholy texture of this film.

Given the fact I have spent most of this year applying for jobs and attending interviews, I thought it would be prudent to draw on my experiences to provide some tips and advice for anyone that struggles with the less than pleasant ordeal of job hunting.
Getting an interview is actually the hard part, but being able to perform and express why you are the outstanding candidate to any prospective employer may prove to be highly problematic to just about anyone, let alone people on the spectrum.
There is no other way to address the nature of job interviews other than they are tough and going to require you to act with conviction and purpose in an incredibly interrogating atmosphere. The only thing you can do in terms of preparation is to draw on yours and other people's experiences to work out strategies that could make the entire process that much smoother.
Below are some of the basic things you can consider if you have a job interview lined up and how they could ease away any fears and anxiety you may have leading up to the main event.
Research the Company
Having a strong and rounded understanding of the company that will be interviewing you means you are going to be prepared for any questions they decide to throw at you. Showing a keen interest in how they operate and what they currently have in the pipeline shows you are genuinely interested in them and would like to take up employment.
It's all about creating safeguards so that nothing throws you off balance when you are interrogated Alan Sugar style. You are likely to know your own life story back to front so less prep time should be spent going over your previous experience and Education. You should instead dive deep into the inner workings of the prospective company and really understand who the hell they actually are.
Relax and Rationalize
Don't worry if you cannot answer a question or believe you have spoken out of turn, we are all human and all highly susceptible to making mistakes. The interviewer should understand that and will always be looking at how you respond when you are evidently struggling. Maybe add humour to the situation or fight back with an even more detailed response that catches their attention immediately.
I don't think they are going to be looking for a flawless performance, especially if you are applying for an entry level position. You simply need to demonstrate you possess a productive personality that will fit in with the team they currently have in place. If you have any conditions that may impair your ability to put on a sales performance, then tell them beforehand as employers cannot discriminate against people that have certain difficulties with human interaction.
Bring a Portfolio
I always find that bringing along some form of portfolio is a great way to help you re-establish composure if you start to falter. You can use previous work as a guide for you to talk through what you have done before and how it could apply to the position you are going for. This is your comfort blanket which will provide reassurance that you are capable and have achieved notable things in the past.
When all said and done, employers just want to know you can do the job. If you have a pile of work that demonstrates your capability, this will be more significant than people who have a fun and quirky personality but without previous experience. Basically, experience trumps everything else.
Plan Something Fun
This could literally be something as simple as grabbing a coffee from McDonalds. Having something to look forward to will make the interview seem like one small part of the day rather than something that is all consuming. If you get anxious in interviews, then maybe some form of exercise could be a great way to dishevel some of the negative energy that has been engulfing your body and mind.
You should always reward yourself when you have undertaken something you find difficult. Job interviews are a huge undertaking and can really drain people throughout their duration. Its all about finding very simple ways to channel your mind in a positive way and balancing the day with a healthy dosage of both important and recreational activities.
I would love to hear about your job interview experiences! Please comment below or get in Contact Directly with me here at The Asperger Chronicles.

>> How to sell my business
Making the decision to sell your business takes some careful thought. Even if selling eventually was your intention all along, choosing the right time to do it and selecting the right buyer isn't easy. Making sure that you have the right support from an adviser can help you to carry out the process more smoothly. It's vital to follow the correct steps if you want to get the best deal from selling your business, and Moorgate Partners can help you to make sure you get it right. Our London based consultants have a vast wealth of experience and in-house calculator tools to work out the best valuation and deals for businesses like yours.
>> Create an Exit Strategy
An exit strategy is essential for any business owner. Although you might start to think about it not long before you want to sell, it's never too early to think about how and when you're going to move on from your business. A good exit strategy should map out not only when you will sell the company, but how to set it up to survive without you.
>> Undertake due diligence
Due diligence is a crucial part of selling your business. This is the process by which you check that your company is in good condition and that you declare any issues that might be present. Due diligence can require combing over accounts, examining sales records and using IT specialists. All essential information about your business needs to be presented clearly for potential buyers to see so that they can make a smart decision based on an accurate valuation.
>> How much can I sell my business for
Do you know how much your business is worth? Putting a number on it isn't as simple as guessing what you think you should get for it using a calculator. Valuation requires a close look at your finances, reputation, and brand to work out how much it could be worth. It takes more than the numbers concerning sales and earnings. You also need to consider factors such as the strength of the company's management and recurring income. We have assisted in the sale and acquisition of many companies in London and around the UK and can provide you with the best advice possible for the sale of your enterprise.
>> Negotiate a good deal
Negotiating with potential buyers can be pretty frightening. You're worried that you won't get a good deal, or you could let the buyer get the upper hand. Before even beginning negotiations, you should make sure to research your potential buyer as much as you can. You want to make sure that you choose the right buyer and that it's someone you can trust with your company. A positive deal needs to work out for both of you, so it's important to make sure that you're in a good position.
>> Get the support you need
A lot of work goes into selling a business. Moorgate Partners is a London based consultancy that can help you to sell your company, whether in London or anywhere else across the UK. It doesn't have to be so difficult when you have professional, expert advice and assistance available. Our team members are entrepreneurs who are experienced with selling companies and know how to help you get the best deal.

Dear President Albright,
I know this church is solid. I know this church is strong. I know this church is true. I have been a member of the Church for only 3 years, after having been a practicing Catholic for 48 years. If you are doing the math, be forewarned that my age is classified, Top Secret. I am the only Mormon in my family, and the only Mormon that most of my family and friends in Ohio have ever met. So you might imagine I am the object of some fascination to a family of Italian Catholics for whom Utah seems like another continent.
Like most new converts, I have often been asked to tell my conversion story. Perhaps others find it interesting or faith-promoting; for me, it was certainly life-changing. But it has always struck me as somewhat peculiar to speak of conversion as a singular event, or to speak of it in the past tense – as something that occurred and is done, end of story. Certainly, my conversion had its clear turning points: the point at which I came to know the Church is true and that Joseph Smith was truly a prophet of God, or the date on which I was baptized. In reality, we know that conversion is not an event, and it is not simply part of our personal history. Instead, it is a daily process of recommitment – a process that is never finished because we are living it each day in the present and future tense. If we are truly to walk the path of Christ's disciple, we must recommit each day to becoming converted.
Of course, four years ago, I would not have been able to debate the fine points of conversion. I would have simply said that I was a Catholic. I was born and raised by tremendous and devout Catholic parents. I attended Catholic school. I went to Mass every Sunday. I believed in God and in Jesus Christ. I understood the Ten Commandments. I had a pretty clear idea of what sin was. But I did not have what anyone would even remotely describe as a religious life. I simply believed what my parents believed. I inherited my faith the easy way, without labor pains. I never read the scriptures myself; I found I could be quite comfortably Catholic without ever reading the Bible. If you asked me what made the Catholic faith the true faith, I couldn't have answered because I never paused to ask myself the question. And I certainly did not have the discipline to learn the answer. Given this remarkably weak spiritual foundation, you probably won't be surprised to learn that in my adult years, I transgressed very far from the commandments of our Heavenly Father.
I have spent the last 25 years working for the CIA, and I achieved a good measure of secular success over those years. I was a very hard-driving person, and because of that, I achieved many "firsts" at CIA – I was often the first woman to be appointed to a job. I did all that I could to get there first: if it meant working 7 days a week, up to 18 hours a day, I did it. If it meant putting my professional ambitions ahead of my family, I did so. If meant trampling over others, I did so. If it meant engaging in office gossip and office politics and office-plotting, well, I did that, too. It is quite possible that I was the most relentlessly secular person you have ever met. Let me assure you that if you had observed me during a typical work day, you would never have been able to tell I was a Christian.
The rewards for my self-important ambitions were plentiful: by late 2004, I had the pinnacle job of my CIA career: Director for Support. It is a pretty big leadership job – the biggest of my life. I'm tempted to say that jobs like that can loosen your spiritual bearings. But in truth, my spiritual compass was lost well before that. While climbing the ladder to that pinnacle, I committed sins of arrogance, envy, huge ego, and vanity. To make matters worse, I rationalized that I wasn't technically sinning, because if I searched hard enough, I could always find others doing the same. My disturbing logic might well remind you of the passage in Alma, Chapter 5, verse 37:
"O ye workers of iniquity; ye that are puffed up in the vain things of the world, ye that have professed to have known the ways of righteousness nevertheless have gone astray."
As I was plunging full speed ahead on this path, I did not recognize that my world was starting to crack in unpredictable ways, as foundations built on shallow soil always do. In the spring of 2006, in the space of only a week, two of CIA's senior-most officials were fired by the White House. Almost immediately after that, a new team came in, and soon enough, my tenure came to an end – with no clear path ahead. I fell apart physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Then and only did I begin to examine the wreckage of my life. Then and only then did I come to see I had not just fallen from rank, but I had fallen far from grace. Then and only then did I see that I was not simply a person who occasionally sinned, but I had become a sinful person.
Feeling broken into a million pieces, I called an LDS colleague whom I very much admired. I told him I could not go on the way I was living. His response consisted of three simple messages: first, he assured me that my Heavenly Father knows me by my name and understood my struggles and suffering; second, he assured me that Heavenly Father had a plan for my success, but not success as I had come to define it. And then he drew me a map to the Visitors Center. Soon after I went to the Washington DC Temple Visitors Center, two missionaries visited my home. When Sister McDonald and Sister Clark arrived on my doorstep, I was mortified. They were so young and innocent I had no idea how I would be able to explain my troubled and headstrong life. I figured they would never be able to relate. They began our meeting by asking me if they could sing for me. They sang "I am a Child of God." From that moment on I was captivated. It became irrelevant whether they could relate to me. I began relating to them, and to the profoundly joyful message they shared.
That led to 6 months of intense lessons from wonderful sister missionaries and the members of the Annandale Ward. The love I felt from the Annandale Ward made me willing to temporarily suspend judgment on whether these lessons were true. But suspending judgment is far different from coming to know with certainty for yourself. For me, that moment of certainty did not come in a dramatic vision, or after days of prayer and fasting. Instead, it came quite unexpectedly, on the way to a business dinner. I arrived early, and being a committed multi-tasker, I whipped out my Book of Mormon to complete my missionary homework before the other guests arrived. I was in a hurry, of course, but I was stopped cold by a line from Amulek's great exhortation on prayer in the 34th chapter of Alma, in particular this line:
"Ye must pour out your souls in your closets, and your secret places, and in your wilderness.
Amulek's words pierced me to the core, because I was definitely in a wilderness, filled with many secret places. And at that moment, with that very scriptural passage, I came to remember that I was meant to TALK to my Heavenly Father. I was not supposed to simply recite prayers I memorized as a child, but literally pour my heart out. So that's what I did. I told Heavenly Father what a mess I had made of my life, and how shallow my priorities and values were.
The rediscovery of that simple truth was a turning point for me. I fell in love with the Book of Mormon, and I had no doubt it was true. And when I came to know the Book of Mormon was true, I came to accept that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God, chosen to restore the gospel in this last dispensation. How could it be any other way? Soon thereafter, I was baptized, supported by my husband, Bill, and my family, and was welcomed into the faith by a loving community of believers and practitioners.
Looking back, I still find it odd that I reached out to an LDS colleague, rather than dialing up one of my many Catholic colleagues or a priest. I have come to believe it had a lot to do with Gordon B. Hinckley. Let me digress to explain: several years earlier, during the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics, I was on a night flight overseas and I couldn't sleep. I was bored with my own reading material, and I picked up a magazine with a cover story on the Olympics and the Mormons. I decided to read it, convinced that article surely would lull me to sleep. The only thing I remember from the entire article is that the President of the church, this fellow named Gordon B. Hinckley, was asked why so many people were turning to the LDS faith after 9/11. President Hinckley said it was because they were looking for something solid, strong, and true. These 3 words made such an impression on me that I wrote them down on a scrap of paper and stuffed it into my wallet, where they remained until 2006 – when quite improbably, I came to desperately need those attributes.
It probably does not surprise you that in a time of deep personal crisis, I found the Church. That makes me quite similar to many other adult converts, who need to be jolted-usually by crisis -out of complacency. But joining the Church is different from conversion, and my conversion is still very much a miracle in progress. You see, I did not magically change after baptism. No miraculous light switched on, illuminating my life with blissful days. Unfortunately, a central irony of my life is that my post-conversion years have been the least successful chapter of my life thus far, if you judge only by secular measures. When I was leading a faithless life, I was immensely successful. But almost immediately after my conversion, I began to lose a great many friends. It may have had a little to do with my conversion – most of them simply assumed I'd lost my mind – but it had a lot to do with having lost my rank at CIA. So my social and professional calendar freed up overnight.
I now see that Heavenly Father was clearing my calendar for another kind of assignment: His work. I firmly believe that he knew how fragile my new testimony was, so He silenced some of the noise and distractions in my life so I could concentrate on His gospel. Heavenly Father knows only too well my circumstances and my weaknesses. He knows that I still live and work in a competitive world, and I still struggle mightily with ambition, pride, and ego. I can absolutely predict that every day, including this very day, I will have to fight my way through self-doubts and comfortable old habits which can still look pretty enticing.
Heavenly Father helped me recognize the danger of spiritual relapse, and fortified me to decide that I would not simply be an adult convert, but that I would aim to become a disciple of Christ. I choose the word "become" deliberately, because true conversion means growing each day in the gospel-not thinking of the baptismal font as the destination point. I had spent nearly 5 decades of my life becoming a sinful person, day after day, sin upon sin. So I have to recommit day after day, precept upon precept, to becoming a different person. I have to do the very hard work of truly changing my nature. I cannot let my guard down, or become casual. I must be committed to my conversion by daily acts of intention, of faith, of fervor, and will.
In the beginning I was completely unsure of how to proceed. The answers have come slowly, because I am feeling my way slowly on this path. One leg of this journey I needed to take on my own. That part was repentance, which is a continuing journey of course. It requires admitting that I am a sinner, that I need forgiveness and instruction, and that I live in gratitude for the miracle of the Atonement. For me, repentance has been precisely as Elder Neil Anderson describes it: There are still times when my prayers amount to pleading for forgiveness and to be restored to what the ancient psalm describes as a "clean hear and right spirit."
I am blessed that Heavenly Father also helped me understand that conversion and discipleship require help beyond what I alone can do. I was deeply humbled, after many years of solitary and selfish achievement, to realize that discipleship is not a solitary and self-serving path. We cannot become Christ-like alone. Like you, I need the daily help of the Holy Ghost. I need the counsel obtained through deeply personal prayer to my Heavenly Father; and I so dearly need the help of other Saints.
Disciples of Christ must be full participants in the community of Christ. I recently read something that seems to me quite wise: No one comes to church each week to find God; we come to share God-to share what we know and feel of Him, to strengthen and uplift and fortify each other. True conversion requires not simply that we turn away from sin, but that we turn toward righteousness. And righteousness involves turning toward others, loving them, serving them, bearing their burdens and sharing their joys. On the path toward conversion and discipleship, I find that I must arm myself every day with prayer and scripture reading. I was 49 when I opened the Old Testament for the first time, I'm ashamed to say. Now I am a daily reader. Of course, we are so often exhorted to engage in daily scripture reading that it is easy to become complacent. To give it a fast 5 minutes, to skip a day or two, or to go on auto-pilot as we read. In the intelligence profession, we have a name for this auto-pilot condition: we call it MEGO, which is short for "My eyes glazed over."
So I learned that I must discipline myself every single time I pick up my scriptures to actively search for the lesson Christ intends for me that very day. When I read with that focus, I am never denied wisdom. I have come to embrace the scriptures as the owner's manual for my life.
Since the day I discovered Amulek's great exhortation on prayer, I have never been without the Book of Mormon. I have a purse size, a briefcase size, a desk drawer size, and a luggage size. My scriptures look a lot like the children's Velveteen Rabbit – earmarked, lined with every imaginable color, and literally frayed like something that is used and cherished and quite beloved.
Here is something else that most of you members know, and I have only recently learned. Daily commitment to conversion means never taking my testimony for granted. When I joined the church, I marveled at the apparent ease with which members shared their testimony. Only with time did I see how hard each of us must work for our testimony. And this work is not for the faint of heart. It is for the Saint who has enough spiritual fervor to ask, in the vortex of personal crisis, "Why do I believe? What causes me to know this is true? Why do I want to devote my life to this difficult path?" The answers to those questions must be rediscovered every day – on good days, on bad days, and even on snow-days. It is the core work of becoming a disciple. And that is always a present-tense process.
Over and over again, the words of Elder Dallin H. Oaks ring true for me: "To testify is to know and to declare. The gospel challenges us to be converted, which requires us to do and to become." When you accept that your testimony must be lived in the present and future tense, it quickly becomes part of you. It's not a 30-second elevator speech or a canned presentation. It is part of your spiritual DNA; it is how you are wired each day; it's the top of your daily agenda.
I have to confess to you that the most challenging part of my path has been this: letting it be known each day that I am a Mormon and that I am a disciple of Christ. I lived for more than 40 years in a world where I never discussed my faith, and it was most certainly never apparent. I would never have introduced myself to a new acquaintance as a Catholic. I would have been embarrassed to speak of Jesus in a secular setting. Now, it is my joy to share Christ as the source of my strength. It is my joy to know a simple scripture well enough to quote it. By openly sharing the fact of my faith, I set a standard for myself to live, not just to speak. I do not forget I am a standard-bearer of the Mormon faith in my own family. Like you, I have discovered that it takes a large degree of valor to lead a public life of faith. So often, society gives wider embrace to every sort of affinity group than it does discipleship in Christ.
I am learning that it is imperative that I live a life of gospel activism. Not simply to know and say what I believe but to act upon it. Because I hope to walk the path of the disciple, I try never to forget our Savior's counsel to Peter: "When thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren." Ironically, when I accepted the need to strengthen my brethren, I became stronger. That strength is built upon small acts of service, loving those who once might have been unlovable to me, and by looking for daily opportunities to do missionary work. The truest possible thing I can share with you is that we must serve others, even in the hardest of times. For me, conversion has not simply meant turning away from things, but turning toward others.
I now consider my faith the most important thing about me. It is my credential and my calling card. After years of focusing on my professional resume, I am at long last focusing on my spiritual resume.
It is fair to say that every conversion journey is unique. But for converts like me, that journey includes a fair amount of internal turbulence. We came to the church at a point of crisis. We did not join the church because the choice was easy. It is the most important decision we will make, and many, like me, make that decision without family members joining us. Ultimately, I joined the church because I could no longer deny the truth of the restored gospel and I could no longer sustain the dead weight of my old self. I had to give birth to my new self. And with this birth, most assuredly, I have experienced profound labor pains. I find the words of Alma in Mosiah Chapter 27 to be painful and beautiful:
"I have repented of my sins, and have been redeemed of the Lord; behold I am born of the Spirit. And the Lord said unto me: Marvel not that all mankind, yea, men and women, all nations, kindreds, tongues and people, must be born again; yea, born of God, changed from their carnal and fallen state, to a state of righteousness, being redeemed of God, becoming his sons and daughters."
I cannot imagine all that the long-time members know that I still need to learn. But I can tell you that through large and small daily acts of spiritual discipline I am slowly building my spiritual momentum. I know this is not a sprint; it is a walk of endurance. As Elder Holland reminds us, "It isn't over until it's over…and we must go forward, without fear, without vacillation." I know that this Church is indeed solid, strong, and true. I know that conversion changes our hearts and our natures.

A short series, collecting some facts about how the Alfa Romeo Giulietta came to be. Chapter 5: The Giulietta quickly became one of the most succesful race cars of the fifties.
1.3-GT race at Monza; 1955 Coppa Intereuropa.
It was quite evident from early on that the Giulietta would become a splendid racer. Every single period road test hails the Sprint Normale as a very sporty and predictable car with world class roadholding and sharp engine and steering response. The car wasn't ready for sale before early 1955, and the homologation with FIA wasn't issued before april. But then all the italian gentleman drivers began racing the Giulietta all over the place. The main competition were Porsche 356, Fiat 1100 TV and Cisitalia 1100. None of these cars had as good brakes as the Alfa Romeo, but especially the Porsche was faster, and the Cisitalia was very light - and concieved as a proper race car.
Two Giuliettas in Brescia for scrutineering at the 1955 Mille Miglia.
The main event was the Mille Miglia; and everybody had big expectations, but the new Alfa lost to the Porsche in the 1.3-GT class (more about that later), mainly because the Giulietta was such a new car - both for Alfa Romeo and for the drivers. Not until the Sprint Veloce came out before the following season's Mille Miglia did the Giulietta properly beat the Porsche 356. But after that the Alfas won everywhere - all over Europe and even on the German's home turf at the Nürburgring 1000 km. And they kept domination the popular 1.3-GT class all through the 1950s - the main threat would be the Lotus Elite, that came out with independent rear suspension and disc brakes later in the decade.
The Zagato product that was finally approved by the factory in 1960.
The Veloce spec cars were more powerful, lighter and were equiped with large capacity fuel tanks from the factory. Most race Veloces were even tuned further by special workshops such as Conrero, but something really happened when a wrecked Sprint Veloce was rebuild by the Zagato shop. Then the Giuliettas became extra fast and extra unbeatable; and as a result, those who had the money started taking their Sprint Veloces to Zagato for a rebuild - without even wrecking their cars first. No more than 20 cars were retrofitted like that, and they immediatly started to dominate 1.3-GT racing.
The final version 1300 SZ, here at Le Mans 1963.
At the bottom of this page there is a full list of race wins in Giuliettas during the 1955, 1956 and 1957 seasons. It must have been nice to get the reports back at the Portello; almost every week someone won a major race somewhere and it all meant: More sales, more success. Bertone and Portello tried to design an SS, Sprint Speciale racer - inspired by the 20 SVZ, Sprint Veloce Zagatos. But they never got competitive, although they were quite stylish, and are sought after these days (especially the very early lightweight examples; there's one in the 1960 picture, behind the SZ). In fact the Giulietta Sprint Zagato became the factory racer after Alfa Romeo agreed with Zagato to shorten the floorpan and start proper production and sales of the SZ. These cars were still built as monocoques, but this time almost entirely in aluminium. And they would lead to the conception of the TZ cars, Tubolare Zagato.But that's another story.
Race wins by Giuliettas, red text shows first win, 1958, 1959 and 1960 are even more impressive.

The Indira Awas Yojana was brought about with a noble intent of helping people in need by providing them the necessary financial help to build pucca houses. The beneficiaries of this project were to be ones who had been living in abject poverty all their lives in what are known as kutcha houses or temporary structures. As per the official records of Haryana Government the money has been paid to the villagers but in reality the situation is absolutely different. Most of the beneficiaries in the region of about 70% - have not received the payments that are supposed to help them get a firm house.
The question here is not one that relates to money only but life and death of the poor and hapless people. The money was supposed to be provided to the poor people so that they could either build new houses or repair ones that they already had. They have been denied grants and on top of that the road to redemption is blocked as well since government records are showing that they have already received the monies. As per documents the funding for this program is shared between the Indian Government and the respective state government with the former bearing majority of the amount being provided.
The gravity of the situation can be understood from the fact that a lot of people who are officially recorded as beneficiaries of this program are basically living under the poverty line, without any property to their name. In some cases even a long spell of voluminous rain can prove to be catastrophic for them. However, they are yet to receive a single farthing, which is meant for them, for improving their lot. In some of these cases they are receiving help from the local governmental bodies like the panchayats but finally the money is not coming to them.
In certain cases the villagers are thinking of taking recourse to legal action. At times governmental probes are being ordered but nothing much is coming out of it. This is typical of a state in a third world country like India where the middlemen always lap up any and every chance to make the most of public funds, misuse them for their petty personal gains. For them the image of the government and the condition of the common people does not matter. Perhaps it is time that the government really took some firm steps to control this menace.
To start with a proper investigation should be launched in this case with capable and experienced personnel so that the guilty can be identified. Once they are identified and proved to be guilty in a court of law then proper punishment can be meted out. If the need arises then they should be given exemplary punishment that will put off others from pursuing a similar plan of action. The government needs to understand that taking things easy would no longer be okay since its good efforts are being undone by the very people whom it has given the responsibility to perform the said tasks of public welfare.

In protractor, globally available browser object has two methods:
Returns the current absolute URL from AngularJS.
Schedules a command to retrieve the URL of the current page.
It is not quite clear and obvious what is the difference between the two. To this very moment, I've been using getCurrentUrl() only.
When should we use getLocationAbsUrl()? Which use-cases does it cover?
I cannot recall anything similar to getLocationAbsUrl() in other selenium language bindings. It looks pretty much protractor-specific.
As declared previously the getLocationAbsUrl - returns a full path to the present location.
The getCurrentUrl is used during a promise (schedule) to retrieve the URL of the current page.
Typically, you'd solely use the getCurrentUrl when scheduling.
webdriver.WebDriver.prototype.getCurrentUrl = function()

Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that on July 31, 2007, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (``FINRA'') (f/k/a the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (``NASD'')) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II, and [[Page 47103]] III below, which Items have been substantially prepared by FINRA. FINRA has filed the proposal as a ``non-controversial'' rule change pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \3\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder,\4\ which renders it effective upon filing with the Commission. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1). \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4. \3\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A). \4\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance of the Proposed Rule Change FINRA proposes to amend Rule 2860 to extend a pilot program increasing certain options position and exercise limits. The text of the proposed rule change is available at FINRA, the Commission's Public Reference Room, and http://www.finra.org. II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change In its filing with the Commission, FINRA included statements concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in Item IV below. FINRA has prepared summaries, set forth in Sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements. A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change 1. Purpose FINRA proposes to amend Rule 2860 to extend a pilot program until March 1, 2008 (unless extended) increasing position and exercise limits for both standardized and conventional options (``Pilot Program'').\5\ Unless extended, the Pilot Program will expire on September 1, 2007.\6\ FINRA believes that the Pilot Program should be extended so that it may continue without interruption for the same reasons that are discussed in the Pilot Program Notice. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 51520 (April 11, 2005), 70 FR 19977 (April 15, 2005) (SR-NASD-2005-040) (``Pilot Program Notice''). \6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 55225 (February 1, 2007), 72 FR 6634 (February 12, 2007) (SR-NASD-2007-007). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Statutory Basis FINRA believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the provisions of Section 15A(b)(6) of the Act,\7\ which requires, among other things, that FINRA's rules must be designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable principles of trade, and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others Written comments were neither solicited nor received. III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for Commission Action Because the foregoing rule change does not: (1) Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public interest; (2) impose any significant burden on competition; and (3) become operative for 30 days after the date of this filing, or such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \8\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\9\ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A). \9\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).

FINRA has satisfied the five-day pre-filing requirement. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule change, the Commission may summarily abrogate such rule change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or otherwise in furtherance of the Act. IV.

The 3-Hour Diet Program
A whole lot of diet enthusiasts neglect the vital role of metabolism in any weight loss program. In simple terms, the higher the metabolic rate of the body, the more calories your system is about to burn. Keeping the metabolic rate high is the prime goal in fitness centers, thus, exercises today are gone strenuous and more extreme. Recent research and experimentation claim that metabolic reaction of some foods in our body paved the way for faster weight reduction. Consequently, nutritionists and diet masters formulated and enhanced diet program that focused not only on lesser food intake, and not only on a much healthier and sensible eating habit, but more on metabolic reaction of foods when incorporated with some specified food in the food pyramid structure. The program is set to boost your Baseline Metabolic Rate or BMR.
As a consequence, a unique Three-Hour Diet program is introduced to more would-be weight watchers by Jorge Cruise, a renowned Fitness Journalist. The concept of dieting that the author wishes to impart is not to eradicate carb consumption but to minimize its intake while timing plays an important role. He believes that Low-Carb Low-Fat Diet is not the solution to quick weight reduction, it is in the timing of when and how much you need to consume a specified food in a given period. The scheme is dieter-friendly and will make eating so enjoyable. You can adapt with the program at once without surrendering your cravings for chocolates and desserts. Sounds too good to be true but the true key to Jorge Cruise's 3-Hour Diet is to taste everything in moderation and all at a specified time. Instead of holding on temptations, grab a small piece and indulge rather than snubbing the food only to find out you are opening the fridge in the middle of the night.
The 3-Hour Diet component focused on trinity of timing. It is suggested to take breakfast within one hour of rising from the bed. It is recommended to eat every three hours thereafter. Remember that you don't have to put anything in your stomach three hours before bedtime. The author of 3-Hour Diet book is a strong believer that adapting the scheme in your diet will increase BMR, that is, how fast your body system can burn calories, suppress appetite and still boost up one's energy level.
What are these foods allowed in the 3-Hour Diet fad? This will include three meals, two snacks and a treat each day. Sounds wonderful! For sure, a lot of people in this weight reduction program are gone passionate enjoying 5-6 smaller meals a day rather than 3 big meals. It is to register in the mind that there are no bad foods, only bad proportions. You must learn how to eat certain amount of food at the right time. Fats, Protein and Carbohydrates, even dessert are not restricted in the diet; all portions are balanced in 400 calories per serving. Although you can eat anything, try to rid off the sinful fats, too sweet food counts high in calories. You are only allowed to take 100-calorie snack to keep your system going. The principle of the Three-Hour Diet scheme is to re-program your metabolism by taking food regularly every three hours. It is believe that our energy boosts up after every food intake. It is this energy that we use to burn calories. Haven't you notice perspiring after every meal? That's the start of metabolism process.
Once the stomach is filled, our system will begin to work. Metabolism prevents the body from slowing down leading to immobility where unnecessary fats begin to store in the body. This is why starvation is prohibited in the program, it only lowers our energy to move, renders us sedentary with no reason to perspire at all.
Believing now that starvation is invariably a failed diet attempt, the Three-Hour Diet could be the best diet program you are looking for. By religiously following it, you are to expect losing 2 lbs. each week. Aim to increase your BMR by supplying food to your body every three hours to keep the energy flowing. Just remember to supply it with small proportion. In addition, you can still skyrocket your BMR by regularly exercising, the best contributor to metabolism is muscle mass. Overweight people lack the mass that lowers their metabolic rate.
