NCMC Inc. must open meetings
March 2, 2003
At some point, we must throw up our hands and simply demand action.
For almost two years, community members have called for openness from the North Colorado Medical Center Inc. board of directors. For just as long, the board has stonewalled.
Occasionally, the 10 board members go through the motions of being open, but they either don't get it or don't want to get it. For example, last week the board decided to answer the public's questions at its monthly meeting. The only problem is the board didn't tell the public to come. And when 30 people came anyway, the board said almost nothing.
Board member Ken Schultz acted as spokesman, but refused to say when the board might vote on a proposed management contract and whether that agreement would be made public.
Come again?
The board has thrown the community into turmoil over the management of NCMC. As members negotiate whether to keep Banner Health System in place, they have forgotten the history and role of the hospital in Weld County.

Taxpayers built the hospital and helped support it until 1983. Even after the hospital board formed a private, nonprofit organization, the county commissioners maintained control through its lease of NCMC. Weld County still owns the land and the buildings, valued at $78.5 million, at NCMC's main campus on 16th Street.
County commissioners appoint all of the NCMC Board of Trustees, who manage the lease. In an arrangement far too complex for the public's good, three of these trustees also serve on the hospital board.
Unfortunately, even these three trustees – Kay Drake, Don Cummins and Brian Larson – forget they represent the public. At a recent trustees meeting, Drake insisted the hospital board is a private organization.
Come again?
Commissioner Mike Geile begs to differ, even suggesting at last week's meeting that the county might yank its lease. Hospital board members didn't have a response for this, saying they had never considered the possibility.
Before it comes to this, hospital board members can take one simple step: Change their bylaws to abide by the Colorado Open Meetings and Open Records laws. All this means is the hospital board will operate like other public bodies. The board must post agendas, keep records and cite legitimate reasons for going into closed session.
The open meetings law allows boards to meet privately for negotiations – a fact the NCMC Inc. members either don't get or don't want to get. City councils and other public bodies conduct negotiations all of the time like the one the hospital board is handling with Banner.
It's really not that complicated. Openness will restore the public's faith in the hospital's management.
The time for the hospital board to take this step is long past. Members must act at their next meeting, or face the consequences. If hospital board members won't hold themselves accountable, then the county commissioners should take all possible legal actions to do so.

Working with Fields in Layouts
When you're working with layouts remember: Adding a field to a layout isn't the same thing as creating a field for the database. Layouts are simply differing views of the same data. Add a layout or delete a layouteither way the database itself isn't changed. The same notion applies when adding a field to a layout: It's just a view of a field that's already been created within the database.
For information on how to create a brand new field, see To define a field on page 110. Once you've created a field, you can easily add it to a new layout directly without having to define it again. In fact, however, it's common while designing a layout to discover that you need to define a new field. Just keep straight the difference between defining fields for the database versus adding a field to a layout and you'll be fine.
To add a field to a layout:
To add already defined fields to a layout, click on the Field button in the left-hand Layout status area and drag the resulting field where you want it within the layout (Figure 10.65).
Figure 10.65 To add an already defined field to a layout, click on the status area's Field button and drag the resulting field to where you want it.
When the Specify Field dialog box appears, click on a name for the new field (Figure 10.66). You can add a field defined in another database by clicking on the Current File pop-down menu above the field list and navigating to the database with the desired field.
Figure 10.66 Selecting the Field button will open the Specify Field dialog box, allowing you to select a field definition (and add its name if you leave the bottom box checked).
If you want a field label to appear in the layout, also check the Create field label box below the list.
Click OK. The layout will reappear with the added field. If you want to further format the field, see Formatting Fields or Objects on page 189.
If you want to redefine the just-added field, stay in Layout mode and just double-click on the field. The Specify Field dialog box will reappear, allowing you to pick another field definition.
To delete a field from a layout:
Make sure you're in Layout mode ( in Windows, on the Mac). Select the field you want to delete by clicking it.
Press .
Remember: Deleting a field from a layout merely removes it from that layout. The data and field still exist in the database and, so, can be used in other layouts as you need them.
Resizing fields
Sometimes you create a field and only later realize that it is too small for the intended text. (Figure 10.67). In that case, the text will be cut off. Resizing solves the problem.
Figure 10.67 To resize a field in Layout mode, click on the field and drag a corner. Once back in Browse mode (bottom), the field's text is no longer cut off.
To resize a field:
Switch to Layout mode ( in Windows, on the Mac).
Click on the field you want to resize and hold down your cursor. The corners of the field will become small black boxes, known as handles.
Drag the handles to make the field larger or smaller. When it reaches the size you want, release the cursor.
Switch back ( in Windows, on the Mac) and you'll see that all the field's text now shows. Getting the field big enough may require some toggling between Layout and Browse modes to check your progress.
To cleanly enlarge a field horizontally or vertically, click on the field and press just before you drag the handle. The field will then only expand in the direction you first drag it, whether it's horizontal or vertical.
Adding scroll bars to large text fields
Sometimes enlarging a field isn't practical, either because your layout doesn't have the room or because the field has so much text that it would overwhelm the rest of the layout (Figure 10.68). In such cases, adding a scroll bar to the text field is the best approach.
Figure 10.68 Consider adding a scroll bar when a field has too much text to fit within your layout.
To add a scroll bar:
Switch to Layout mode ( in Windows, on the Mac) and click on the field to select it (Figure 10.69).
Figure 10.69 Switch to Layout mode, then click on the field to select it.
Choose Format > Field Format (Figure 10.70). The Field Format dialog box will appear.
Figure 10.70 Choose Format > Field Format to open the Field Format dialog box.
Inside the Field Format dialog box, choose the Standard field radio button, and then check Include vertical scroll bar. Click OK (Figure 10.71).
Figure 10.71 Within the Field Format dialog box, choose the Standard field radio button, check Include vertical scroll bar, and click OK.
Back in Layout mode, the field now has a scroll bar. Switch to Browse mode and you'll see that the scroll bar not only allows you to scroll through all the text but also offers an immediate visual cue that there's more text than what shows (Figure 10.72).
Figure 10.72 The field after a scroll bar is added.
To set the field tab order:
Switch to Layout mode ( in Windows, on the Mac), then choose Layouts > Set Tab Order (Figure 10.73).
Figure 10.73 To change the entry order for your fields, choose Layouts > Set Tab Order from the menu.
The Set Tab Order dialog box appears, along with a series of numbered arrows indicating the current tab order for your fields.
If you want to just slightly alter the order, click on the tab number you want to change and type it in. If you assign No. 1 to an arrow, you'll also need to renumber the original No. 1 arrow (Figure 10.74). If you want to completely change the order, click on the Create new tab order radio button in the dialog box, which will eliminate all the tab numbers. Then just click on the arrows in the order you want the tab order set (Figure 10.75).
Figure 10.74 To slightly alter the existing tab order (A), click on the arrow you want to change (B), and type in the new number (C).
Figure 10.75 To completely change the tab order, click on the Create new tab order radio button, which will erase all the previous numbers (A). Then click on the arrows in the order you want the tab order set (B, C).
When you're done, click OK. The new tab order is now set.
Each layout can have its own tab order, allowing you to customize each layout for its intended users.

|HZN Cars is incorporated as the first dealership to take up Honda's new CI (Corporate Identity). The dealership is also the latest Honda 4S Center with an eco-friendly body and paint facility.
Honda's new CI, introduced in February, infuses fresh guidelines for its dealerships which included new color scheme, matching furnitures & fittings and a little extra here and there.
At an investment cost of RM 13 million, the Shah Alam-based HZN Cars-Honda 4S dealership is the first in the industry to offer customers waterborne paint services. The newest Honda center sits on a 3,026 square meters land plot with a build-up area of 1,887 sq. ft. and offers easy parts replacement for Honda car owners, and the genuine parts are ensured with a valid warranty. As with all 4S center, predominant amenities within the HZN cars dealership include a reception, cashier, customer lounge, service bays, training room, discussion booths and other staff privileges. The body and paint facility consists a sanding area, paint mixing room and spray booth.
The HZN Cars-Honda body and paint facility's eco-friendly paint services only utilize the water soluble paint. And as the name suggests, the water-soluble formulation is free of the harmful solvent of regular car paints; as well as reduces pungent odours, fumes, and has less VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds); thanks to an anti-setting technology.
The painting process at the HZN Cars-Honda 4S center is performed by qualified technicians so customers are assured of accurate body or paint repairs as per manufacturer's recommendations.
Yoichiro Ueno, Honda Malaysia's Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, reiterated, "Honda is constantly exploring processes and opportunities that can reduce the environmental impact of our activities. HZN introduced a waterborne paint in their Painting Center. This eco-friendly facility reduces smells and fire hazard with its waterborne formulation. It also improves the safety, comfort and health for their associates."
"With their enhancement to a 4S center, we believe that they can provide more convenient and reliable after sales services to their customers better. This new Body and Paint facility will provide more integrated services to all customers," he added.
At the official opening, Honda reiterated about its 60,000 units or 9 percent of the TIV (Total Industry Volume) target for the year. Currently, the company has accumulated encouraging sales figures, led by the Central region with 10,757 units as at June. In its growing number of dealerships, Honda plans to increase the dealerships to 90 nationwide by 2016. There are currently 64 Honda dealerships; 3 single S centers, 52 3S centers and 9 4S centers.
The HZN Cars-Honda 4S center is located at 13, Jalan Majistret U1/26, Seksyen U1, Hicom Glenmarie Industrial Park, 40150 Shah Alam, Selangor.

How to Successfully Respond to an RFP
Oh, RFPs — what a love/hate relationship we have. We love them because they're an opportunity to secure new business relationships, specifically with public agencies we might not otherwise be able to prospect. On the flip side, proposal responses can be cumbersome to create, and, unfortunately, there's no guarantee of winning the bid.
Prior to joining Act-On, I garnered extensive experience in responding to RFPs (Request for Proposals) — frequently creating up to five proposal responses each week for government agencies, nonprofits, and other public organizations. In doing so, I learned that when a potential multi-million dollar contract is on the line, you have to know what to do and what not to do when creating these responses. And if you want to win the bid, you must draft a response that helps you stand out in the sea of submissions, which is not an easy thing to do.
I know these proposals can be daunting, so I want to equip you with the tips, tricks, and best practices to help you navigate the RFP waters and draft successful responses that help you close more business.
What Is an RFP?
Requests for proposals, qualifications, or information are invitations to enter your company's hat in the ring to win potential business. RFPs, RFQs, and RFIs are essentially the same with varying levels of detail, so for the purpose of this blog post, we're sticking with the term RFP.
RFPs in business are documents announcing newly needed services — whether for a specific project or a long-term partnership. Companies that submit proposal responses are "bidding" for the business of the RFP provider, which is most often in the public sector — such as a government agency or nonprofit organization. RFPs are almost always required for complex projects and services for these public entities because they level the playing field among competing private companies to make the process fair and keep costs low.
So, how do you effectively respond when an RPF comes your way?
Vet the RFP
Just because you're delivered an RFP doesn't mean you need to respond. Before you even begin, you should ask yourself the following questions:
- Would this generate a worthwhile ROI for my company?
- Are our values aligned and would we be proud to work with this organization?
- Does the scope of services firmly fall in our territory?
If you feel like you'll have to dance around more than one or two line items, move on. If you don't recognize your limitations or a bad fit early on, the organization reviewing your response probably will as soon as they recognize you can't (or won't) provide exactly what they're looking for.
In short, you should value your and the reviewers' time by only submitting if you're fully able to deliver the requested services and actually want to work with the organization requesting the RFP.
Prepare Your RFP Response Early
It might seem like you have plenty of time to complete your response, but there's no time for procrastination. Many times, RFPs can take much longer to complete than you originally think (especially if you have to perform outreach to other departments and organizations), so it's best to start the process as early as possible.
As soon as you receive the RFP, read the entire document line by line to better understand how to answer the request. Highlight anything you don't have readily available, and begin seeking information that might take time to retrieve. Do you have the requested amount of case studies and customer references relevant to the RFP? Does HR need to pull employee numbers? Do you need a notary for attached forms or your CEO's signature (who happens to live across the country)? Do you have a clarifying question that you need to submit before the cut-off date?
Some RFPs are straightforward, with the goal being to simply show them what you've got. Others are more meticulous and request excessive information that makes you scratch your head. As soon as you receive the document, read it in detail so you know exactly what to expect and how to prepare it in a timely manner.
Follow Every Guideline on the RFP
The deadline is the deadline, and that's that. Your requester will ask for very specific information, and your job is to provide it clearly, concisely, and on time. If they request a four-page response, you give them a four-page response. Font size 17 with two-inch margins? Seems silly, but sure. Digital file with an exact name, or one-inch binders with six tab dividers? You get where I'm going with this. Following your requester's guidelines is mandatory!
RFP guidelines exist for two reasons:
- The proposal reviewers are comparing multiple submissions side-by-side, and it makes their job easier when everything is formatted and answered in the same way, allowing the actual content to shine through.
- To test your attention to detail and ability to follow instructions. Think of your RFP response as the first impression of your potential working relationship with the vendor; that's how they're viewing it.
Read and re-read every word of that RFP to make sure you've covered everything. Give them exactly what they ask: no more, no less. It's not the time to get creative or take chances. Do as your told in your RFP process, and you'll remain in the running.
The Marketing Automation Quickstart Guide
Stay Organized With Boilerplate Copy and Templates on File
Responding to RFPs gets easier and faster after you have practice writing a few proposal responses. Once you spend some time writing your scope of services, company background, case studies, etc., you can refer to these for use in future projects. The key to repurposing these assets is organization; your life will be much easier with clearly labeled documents saved in designated folders.
Store previous RFPs for future reference and create templates for streamlined formatting. Most of all, keep generic content (i.e. cover letter, detailed scope of services, industry experience, and company background) ready to plug into the proposal. RFPs share common requirements, so a quick copy-and-paste with minor editing saves hours, even days, of additional work.
Use RFP Language and Make Your Descriptions Stand Out
You know how resume best practices say to insert the job description's keywords? You should use the same approach when drafting your RFP response by including language from the original document throughout your work. Align your values by using industry-specific verbiage and stick to their scope of services terminology. Doing so adds a personal touch that shows your dedication to this proposal, and the reviewer will better relate to your proposal if you're incorporating their lingo.
On a related note, it can be challenging to distinguish your scope of services from competitor submissions. After all, you're going up against other businesses within your vertical. Keep the jargon to a minimum and reach beyond buzzwords to draft simple explanations. Highlight what separates your services from the competition, and make a real case for why your company is the best for the job.
A good test of whether your description stands out is to check your competitors' websites. If you can swap your RFP answers with their webpage content, you've uncovered a major red flag and need to head back to the drawing board.
Format Presentation Is Important, But Not That Important
Yes, you want your proposal response to be visually appealing and stand out as more than a Word doc. However, the content matters more than the presentation — although many respondents get hung up in the visual details. Again, format templates are a big help, so ideally you only have to create the whole branded proposal one or two times. (I personally love using Adobe InDesign for proposals, but advanced Word skills can come in handy here as well.)
Unless the guidelines state differently, make sure your proposals are formatted for consistent branding and are easy to read. When in doubt, less is more. There's no need to cause unnecessary design confusion for the reviewer or make their eyes strain from bold color or font choices. There are more efficient ways to spend your time than putting most of your energy into the proposal's presentation.
Determine Your Worth
Like any negotiation, you don't want to lowball your services out the gate or make an offer that's unreasonably high. However, pricing is a critical factor in the RFP decision, so it's important to determine your worth and present with confidence. Work with your leadership to determine a good middle ground that leans slightly toward the higher end. This will give your business wiggle room for negotiations while exhibiting the value of your services.
Remember that the agency issuing the RFP doesn't solely base their decision on price, but part of the point of an RFP is to get the best bang for their buck.
Submit Before the Deadline
There is rarely any mercy for a late submission, regardless of whether you're dealing with a physical or digital proposal. Even if there was, you don't want to start off on the wrong foot.
Whatever the deadline, you should move it up at least two business days to allow yourself buffer time. There are too many reasons for this to count. For example, the email address for submission could be wrong, forcing you on a wild goose chase to track down the correct address. Or maybe your file is too large to deliver online, so you have to create a contingency plan on the fly. What if FedEx tried to deliver your proposal before the agency opens in the morning, and by the time they return with your delivery, it's 30 minutes after the RFP deadline? (Yes, all are real examples, sadly.)
Bottom line: save yourself the anxiety by planning to submit the completed proposal two days before the official deadline.
Winning Your Next RFP Bid
Winning an RFP is an accomplishment in and of itself, and it sets the stage for a well-suited business partnership that can open more opportunities — particularly in the public sector. While RFPs sometimes come down to little more than a numbers game, proposals can really help you stand out when your content matches exactly what the organization is requesting, the format is visually appealing but not distracting, and your pricing is a win-win for both businesses. Following these best practices for how to respond to an RFP not only increases your odds of winning that bid; they also help you keep your sanity as you produce more proposals with more efficiency in the future.

I thought i would put all my pumpkin recipes on one blog post, so they are easily accessible.
I know a lot of people who have never tried pumpkin, or feel they may not like it.
But it's a really tasty vegetable, and with so many knocking about this time of year, why not take full advantage?
Pumpkin, Apple & Cinnamon Slices
Pumpkin, Walnut & Cinnamon Rolls
Salmon, with a Pumpkin & Coconut Sauce
Do you like the sound of any of the above?
I really love this time of year so much, i openly admit i love everything to do with pumpkins.
As you can probably tell! Haha!
I hope the above may offer some inspiration.

Mistakes in UML Diagrams: Analysis of Student Projects in a Software Engineering Course
The Unified Modelling Language (UML) is being widely accepted as a standard modelling notation for visualizing software systems during design and development. UML has thus become part of many software engineering course curricula at universities worldwide, providing a recognized tool for practical training of students in understanding and visualizing software design. It is however common that students have difficulties in absorbing UML in its complexity, and often repeat the same mistakes that have been observed by course tutors in previous years. Having a catalogue of such mistakes could hence increase the effectiveness of both teaching and learning of UML diagrams. In this paper, we present such a catalogue, consisting of 146 types of mistakes in eight types of diagrams. As the main contribution of this study, we use this catalogue to guide the analysis of student projects within a software engineering course. In total, over 2,700 diagrams submitted over 12 weeks of a semester by 123 students were analysed to identify the frequency of mistakes (from the catalogue), correlations of the mistakes between different diagram types, correlation of the quality of student projects to exam results, student behaviour in terms of introducing and fixing the mistakes over time, and other interesting insights. The analysis is described together with its setup and execution, and all datasets and detailed guidebook to the catalogue of all mistakes is made available for download.

The Eastern Michigan University women's basketball team found itself in its third overtime game of the season, this time having to go into double-overtime against the Western Michigan University Broncos Saturday afternoon in Ypsilanti. The Eagles were able to hang on 70-66.
For the Eagles, junior guard Cha Sweeney led the way with 21 points in 45 minutes. Junior Sheyna Deans made her first start of the season, along with sophomore Micah Robinson, and contributed 12 points and five rebounds in 34 minutes.
"We've got to use this. We have the bye week off so we can decompress a bit," EMU coach Tory Verdi said. "We can use it to catapult us and finish the MAC season the way it needs to be finished up. We've grown up and made a lot of mistakes from it but also we grew from it tonight."
The Eagles were able to get off to a hot start by going on a 10-2 run within the first five minutes.
In the third quarter, EMU junior forward Phillis Webb scored a layup then on the WMU inbound Sweeney snuck in for a steal for an easy layup. Eastern continued the pressure and Deans grabbed another steal that helped the Eagles regain a 36-34 lead.
With less than a second remaining in the fourth quarter, WMU guard Meredith Shipman hit a three point shot that put the game into overtime.
In a contest against the University of Akron on Jan. 6, the Eagles were in a similar situation and allowed a game tying three point shot as time expired.
"It's a catch and shoot situation," Verdi said. "We knew they were going to shoot the three and we switched everything out and unfortunately we didn't get out quick enough and they made a great play."
In the first overtime, with less than ten seconds left, Sweeney airballed a three but Webb was able to grab the offensive rebound and laid it in at the buzzer pushing the Eagles into double overtime, tying it at 57.
The Eagles relied on Sweeney in the second overtime as she scored nine of her 21 and was able to hit her free throws in the last 30 seconds.
"She was big," Verdi said. "In the last game against Central, she missed them. She stepped up to the line tonight and made them."
Looking Forward:
The Eagles will have a week to prepare for their next game as they travel to the University of Miami at Ohio on Saturday Feb. 13. Tip-off is scheduled for 2 p.m.

With the proposed two-tier Test system not shaping into a concrete development, the International Cricket Council (ICC) are reportedly planning a conference-based division for the game's traditional format a la baseball style.
The new structure, if it materializes, has the potential to add additional context to Test cricket with a proper championship playoff serving as the culmination of a more balanced fixture list. At the recently held ICC chief executives' committee (CEC) meeting in Cape Town, the idea is understood to have been deliberated in detail and should include the likes of Ireland and Afghanistan as well.
Major League Baseball (MLB), the US-based tournament, sees the participating teams divided into three conferences – East, Central and West. Every side plays as many as 19 games with its fellow divisional members on a home and away basis. There are 10 playoff spots available at the end of each season with four rounds of games determining the overall champion.
On a similar vein, the conference system should see the 12 Test teams divided into two groups based on the ICC rankings. The alternately ranked sides will be split up into separate divisions with the six nations in each group playing each other during at least one bilateral series over the 2-year period. However, there is also the likelihood of quite a few crossover series between teams across the two groups as it happens in MLB.
The number one side from each conference will compete for the Test Championship playoff. More importantly, in order to promote homogeneity in the system, the conferences will be reorganized for every edition meaning that all the 12 Test countries would play against each other at least once every six years. However, there could be question marks surrounding marquee series such as Ashes and Border-Gavaskar trophy.
"While they're icon (sic) and big series, it's just not quite the same. There's also a feeling we're playing enough cricket. We don't want to play more cricket", ESPNCricinfo quoted a source privy to the meetings. With the fears of dismissing the lower ranked Test teams to an inferior division now completely removed, the full members are expected to respond favorably.
But, another issue which could come in the way will pertain to the number of Tests played in a series. Since the marquee affairs between the top sides generally comprise of four or five matches, the prevalence of a lesser amount of games for some of the other sides may complicate the distribution of points.
The source revealed, "If there's 30 points available for a series and you play a five-match series, you might get six points a match, and if it is a two-match series it might be 15 points a match. That sort of thing needs to be further explored."
Regarding the limited-overs formats, a league system aimed towards the ICC events remains on the table. Aside from the revamp of television rights, there is also talk regarding cricket's entry into the Olympics with a meeting between BCCI and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) expected to hold the key for such a development.
The far-reaching changes to the sport's structure should be brought into the limelight during the ICC meetings in February.Published 20 Oct 2016, 19:34 IST

Remerge is an app retargeting platform. Partners and clients can forward events/segments to the remerge tracking API in real time. Remerge will create segments of users that should be targeted/excluded for a campaign in real time using the information from the forwarded events/segments.
Encryption Method
For every event a GET should be send to one of the given endpoints including the following parameters (in the query string). If the request was successful the API responds with
All mandatory parameters (marked with a M) must be provided to allow proper tracking. Optional parameters can be set to improve retargeting and reporting. Parameters which contain characters which are not web safe have to be encoded properly.
|app_id (M)
|iTunes or Google Play Store App ID
|553834731, com.king.candycrush
|event (M)
|name of the event
|purchase, add_to_basket, level_2_reached
|additional data for the event, please put in JSON format (a single string is also acceptable)
|{"store":1341, "keywords":["yellow","red"]}
|ts (M)
|event timestamp as unix epoch, timezone should be UTC and it should be ten digits long
|partner (M)
|name of the tracking partner
|key (M)
|key of the partner (provided by remerge)
|idfa (M)
|Apple IDFA (uppercase) (if a aaid was provided not mandatory)
|aaid (M)
|Android Advertising ID (lowercase) (if a idfa was provided not mandatory)
|country (M)

|(revenue_float )
|in case your prices are without sub cent values and a decimal separator
|revenue_float=49000 (49000)
|ISO 4217 currency code
|if the event is attributes to a partner, the networks name or id
|pass through parameter for the unique ad click id (usually appended to a click tracking url by remerge).
|if the event is not created by the app (i.e. a click post back) - true or false
|definition whether an event is attributed to remerge or other sources
|1 (= remerge) or 0 (=organic or other mediasource)
|definition whether an event is attributed to a view or a click
|click,view (or empty)
Example with placeholders (whereas {PLACEHOLDER} should be the name of your internal placeholder)
An example for an purchase event attributed to remerge based on click
An example for an unattributed purchase event:
...&event=purchase&is_attributed=0&network=organic or
The data parameter can hold a number of unique key value pairs in JSON format. This can be used to send additional meta data about the user action as part of the event itself. As an example in e-Commerce it is often used to send product related information, e.g. product ids, prices, quantity ect., which can be used to show and lookup further relevant products in customized banners from a product feed.
The JSON data structure might look like this:
It needs to be send URL encoded to remerge:
If you need to send us multiple product ids, you can do it like this:
data={"products":["23ef23","234fe2d","23dw334"]} and encoded is
data={"products": [{"item_id":"3343er","other":234},{"item_id":"gt34rt3","other":457},{"item_id":"g334h","other":635}]} and encoded is
De-duplicate clicks
Remerge will always only count one click per bid request. Even if in the UI the user clicks several times or refreshes the page and the click url is sent out again, for remerge it will just count as one click. Use click_id if you want to de-duplicate the clicks.
When the flag is set to false, Remerge can use the events for:
- real time segmentation with the intent of targeting (e.g. target only certain users for a campaign)
- performance measurement and attribution (e.g. check if the purchase event is attributed to remerge or not, if after a click followed an app open etc.)
When the flag is set to true, Remerge can use the event for:
- real time segmentation with the intent of targeting (e.g. target only certain users for a campaign)
When set to true Remerge will not at all use the event for campaign performance measurement and attribution but purely for campaign targeting rules.
Sending Segments via the real time tracking api
You can update us in real-time if a user is inside/outside a segment by flagging active:true (inside the segment) or active:false (left the segment). Then remerge has the updated segment information in real time. Since you are sending a segment and not a user event, please have non_app_event set to true
User entered a segment: {"active":true}
User left a segment: {"active":false}
Please note:
- You need to let us know in advance the name of the event before you start sending the event. The name of the event needs to start with segment_XXX and then filled in with your individual codename for the segment.
- The real time event tracking api cannot be used for sending Remerge a list of users only once or twice a day. The purpose of this tracking api is to update Remerge in real time about a user event or segment. Please talk to your Remerge Account Manager in case you need to send lists.
Attribution Time Window for the Click (CTA):
Please let us know if your click time attribution time window is from
- Click To EventAttribution Window or
- Click ToReengagement Window
Reengagement being the first postback event received after a click (usually this would be an App Launch but any first postback counts). It triggers the Life Time Value KPI, view it below.
Attribution Time Window for the Impression (VTA):
For impression attribution time window, remerge offers either:
- View To EventAttribution Window
- View To Reengagement Window
time windows.
Reengagement being the first postback event received after a click (usually this would be an App Launch). It triggers the Life Time Value KPI, view below.
Life Time Value Attribution Window (Post Re-Engagement Attribution Window):
Once the View to Reengagement or Click to Re-engagement window has been triggered Remerge will count all following attributes of that user for the length of the life time value attribution window.
It is called:
- Post Reengagement Attribution Window

Construction Updates
The construction process for our new classroom addition has begun! We expect the building to be completed and ready for student and teacher occupancy in August of 2021. The Bay family is so very excited about this new building and the impact it will have on accommodating our staff and students, in support of alleviating and addressing our student overcrowding issues. We are so very appreciative of the Bond Money allocation, and the subsequent approval for the funding by the School Board. While excited that the building process has begun, there will be sacrifices, mostly with inconveniences we will all have to share. During these inconveniences, I will keep reminding everybody that it is only temporary, and the final product will be well worth the wait.
Welcome to our first Website publication! We want to keep you informed. Please stay tuned...
Pickup/Drop-off Instructions
To create more space when our students transition between classes, a temporary chain-link fence was installed along the Northern perimeter of our building 3

The Laurentians region, located only 30 minutes from Montreal, abounds in activities and fun events: sledding, snowshoeing or cross-country skiing, indoor games, downhill skiing, sleigh rides and much more! There is something for everyone.
The parks of the Laurentians are renowned as wonderful wild places to have fun and enjoy the fresh air. Laurentian parks have so much to offer: visitors can choose from a wide array of unique activities. With so many options, you may just have to toss a coin to decide what to do first!
The large natural territory of our beautiful region offers outdoor enthusiasts an unparalleled selection of adventure activities in a multitude of parks, perfect to enjoy the most exceptional landscapes.
This season, put on your snowshoes, hiking boots or cross-country skis and discover this magical winter wonderland. Take a pause during your hike and appreciate the beauty of nature along the interpretation trails. Why not make the most of it and stay overnight in a refuge or a tent?
You can truly experience the region's immensity and magnificence at the Montagne du Diable Regional Park, with its majestic mountain, the second highest peak in the Laurentians, overlooking the Baskatong Reservoir. At the Mont-Tremblant National Park, the largest protected area in the province, try a variety of activities including the famous Via Ferrata!

It's fair to say that the most diverse activities abound in the Laurentians' parks! See you this winter 🙂

Mont-Tremblant: a destination that has it all!
With a group of avid skiers and outdoor enthusiasts, I was headed to Mont-Tremblant. Our destination, the highest summit of the Laurentians, is also renowned as the "#1 Ski Resort in the North American East ". We were looking forward to enjoy all the sports and cultural activities offered right at the mountain and in the other sectors of Tremblant.
Everyone, young and old, from thrill seekers to those looking for a relaxing experience, found just the right activity to suit their tastes: ice climbing, visit to the spa, festive nightlife at one of the bars or casino, and evenings by the fireplace in the comfort of our condos and chalets. The kids particularly enjoyed the new Tam-Tam Zone, the mountainside tubing evenings and skating next to the chapel.
With their many cross-country skiing and snowshoeing trails, the Mont-Tremblant National Park and Centre de ski de fond Mont-Tremblant allowed us to discover a true outdoor paradise. The latter, located on the site of the Domaine Saint-Bernard ecotourism park, offers fatbike rentals. You must absolutely try this brilliant winter cycling activity!
With its charming inns, small boutiques and a church converted into a concert hall, Mont-Tremblant is a picturesque village. Its downtown area has a charming heritage atmosphere. Find unique souvenirs and gifts in the Petit Hameau shops and take advantage of exclusive savings on brand names in the outlet stores. Mont-Tremblant is also renowned for its gastronomy, with a variety of restaurants, cafes, bistros and bars serving local and international flavors.
In other words, Mont-Tremblant is the ultimate destination, with activities and adventures for all tastes!

Rabaska Lodge: a larger-than-life holiday destination!
Heading north to the Upper Laurentians was an excellent decision, and staying at the Rabaska Lodge was definitely a judicious choice! This resort, located in the heart of nature, is renowned for its cozy and intimate accommodation, fine dining and welcoming hosts. We felt like we were visiting friends! When we discovered this vast natural territory only a few kilometers away from Ferme-Neuve and Mont-Laurier, we understood why Dominique and Martin decided to transform this former outfitter into a resort.
Nature lovers and outdoor aficionados will fall in love with this true paradise, located on the banks of the Baskatong Reservoir and near the Montagne du Diable (Devil's Mountain), where a multitude of activities are offered, with or without a guide. We all enjoyed our favorite winter sports; some chose to explore the mountain on their cross-country skis or snowshoes, while others rode a snowmobile or ATV. Everyone in the group, including the thrill seekers, outdoor sports enthusiasts as well as those looking for a refuge away from the hustle and bustle, had the chance to see the magnificent Windigo Falls at the foot of the mountain and the breathtaking views that awaited us at the top.
After fulfilling days spent in the great outdoors, we met at the chalet and spent the evening by the fireplace. We also went to the main lodge to take advantage of the Wi-Fi access, play billiards, have a drink at the bar and savor an excellent meal at the restaurant. Fun and relaxation were on the menu during this unforgettable stay. This is a way of life I could get used to!
The Rabaska Lodge can welcome up to 120 guests year-round and offers many services, including catering services; it's the perfect place for groups and special events. With that in mind…this is where we should hold our next corporate retreat. I'm sure my colleagues will love the idea!
What a unique sensory experience our little getaway at the Esterel Resort allowed us to enjoy! As soon as we arrived, we immediately realized that, following a major makeover of nearly 60 million dollars, the exceptional resort is a real gem. Its prime location in the heart of nature, its high quality facilities and its proximity to countless activities contributed to moments of relaxation and pleasure that will be long remembered by our friends and us.
Barely an hour after leaving Montréal, we discovered the two superb high-end boutique hotels, with a total of 200 suites designed with a contemporary touch and distinctive ambiance, each one equipped with a kitchenette and fireplace. We opted for a suite at the Émotion hotel, Gold award winner at the Grands Prix du tourisme québécois in 2014. A trendy ambiance, a private outdoor Jacuzzi and large windows overlooking the Nordic spa are just a few examples of our roomy suites' features.
We also took advantage of all the attractions offered by the Laurentian complex. And there are many, as the Esterel Resort is a destination in itself: two heated pools, four hot tubs, saunas, an outdoor fireplace, a health and beauty center, three restaurants with very different culinary experiences and much more. Our brief jaunt gave us the opportunity to appreciate the variety of flavors and atmospheres proposed: from the bistro menu in a relaxed ambiance to fine dining in the chic dining room.
Thanks to the activity center with rental services on site, we enjoyed several activities offered nearby: cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling and skating on an 8-km skating rink on Lake Masson. Next time, maybe we'll discover one of the nearby ski resorts, or stroll through the charming village of Saint-Sauveur, only 20 minutes away. Well…here's a great excuse to go back for a romantic getaway…and this time stay at Évolution hotel!

I did a very short trip to Arizona at the end of September in which I have posted many images from the ranch I stayed at, but how about the Desert Photo Retreat? The good news, the game cams showed lots of gray fox, and javelina. Plus, bobcat, coyote and skunk. The unexpected surprise, lots of deer including a decent buck. Although I have seen deer in the canyon, they have only been to our property on occasion, and never a buck. They are very skittish.
That said, there wasn't any huge surprises like a mountain lion, which will show one day – even mountain lion researchers have told me this. Also no ringtail or coati, two animals we have had in the past. But all and all, it was very active. I have written about this before, but I continue to be amazed at how often different species share the waterhole at the same time. Here is a sample.


text: XXX until we can come up with a proper name for it at least... This one is for a customer from down south. It's going to be GOOD fun! He looked our 5.3l Scout project ('77 Scout thread) over at Nationals, and contracted us to build one similar to it. He is, however, upping the ante a little bit with a 6.0l GM engine, and a few other tricks that we have thought up and talked about with him. It is going to be a WICKED cool Scout II! So, rather than beginning with a tub that requires a lot of work, we sourced one from south Arizona, and it is N-I-C-E!! CRAZY how clean this tub is! We just got it Saturday off the trailer from Nate at Triple Diamond Transport, and I haven't cleaned the AZ dirt out o fit so far, but from what I see, I am impressed! More pictures will follow as we get it in the shop and get under it, but here are a few teasers: Loading up (my tub is on the back of the trailer)... Front end of the left rocker panel... Left #2 body mount... As you can see, there is frighteningly little rust on this thing. Crazy! We are looking to get a scrap Scout in soon to free up a chassis for this project, and then we can start the fun with it. I vow to do a better job updating these build threads as we go along, too.

Rekindling - 1. Chapter 1
"Rekindling" was originally written as a submission to an anthology with only the "good stuff". So this was my response. The good stuff huh? Well "Rekindling" has a story, but let's be honest. It's mostly sex. If you're looking for a more complete story, check out some of my other work. If you're looking for a fun read, sit back and enjoy! Jon
The door had barely clicked shut, when Ty pinned Hunter against the wall. Hunter felt the heat of their long delayed moment and all rational thought evaporated as Ty grabbed Hunter's slender face and smashed their mouths together. He opened his lips to Ty's insistent tongue and his mouth instantly filled with heat and flesh.
His meaty hands shoved Hunter's shirt up and exposed his torso. His lust brought hot jolts to Hunter's crotch and his breath quickened as Ty moved closer and closer to his nipples. Ty knew exactly how sensitive Hunter's nipples were, and used this knowledge to his advantage whenever he had the chance. A fingernail scraping across one hard point sent waves of pleasure through Hunter, and his cock snapped to attention in his pants. He brought up two shaking hands and pushed Ty back.
"Wait. Hang on. The bellhop barely got out the door."
Ty kept Hunter pinned, his hands never leaving the smooth chest. "Fuck 'em. He can go home and play with his own husband."
He grabbed Hunter's jaw and slipped a finger between his lips. "Suck it."
Hunter hesitated until Ty slid his free hand up Hunter's chest and pinched a nipple. The surge of electricity engulfed Hunter and jarred him into action.
His tongue darted around the tip of Ty's finger, swirling and twisting as if it were a small cock. With his body ablaze, Hunter grasped Ty's hand and held tight as he tongued it. For a few minutes, Hunter was lost in the passion. This was the first time in months they had more than a fleeting moment alone.
Hunter hesitated, then asked, "Do we need to check on the kids?"
Ty sighed, and his eyes rolled until the whites showed. Without a word, he shoved Hunter back against the wall then slid his hand across the front of his pants and grabbed his nuts, squeezing them tight.
"Ah, fuck." Hunter's eyes fluttered, and all thoughts of the twins evaporated in the haze of sex.
"Yeah, that's what I thought." Ty pressed their bodies tight together and squeezed Hunter's swollen cock. The swirling mist of lust left Hunter only dimly aware of Ty opening his jeans. As the last button slipped free, he shoved Hunter's pants down and ran his hands over Hunter's bare skin.
Ty smashed their bodies together and ground his crotch against Hunter's thinly covered package. He reached up, grabbed a handful of Hunter's dark hair, and tugged his head back to expose his throat. With their bodies grinding against each other, Ty lunged in and started sucking on Hunter's exposed neck. The sharp pain of Ty's bite added a delicious layer of arousal to his already heightened lust.
Ty moved his hands down Hunter's chest and slipped them into Hunter's briefs. The heat of his hands burned Hunter's flesh as his hot-blooded husband squeezed the cheeks of his ass. Ty shoved the tight briefs down to Hunter's ankles with a flourish.
Hunter's cock lurched upward, the pink tip peeking through the skin surrounding it. The urgency of his diamond hard cock created was an unmistakable ache in his groin. Ty's powerful hands wrapped around Hunter's cock and slowly tugged down its length. He almost plunged into his climax when Ty gathered his foreskin, slipped a finger inside and ran it slowly along the edge of his wet cock. As Ty's finger started around a second time, Hunter grabbed his hands and held him.
"No. Stop. I'm about to nut."
Ty stepped back and looked at the man standing before him. His clothes were twisted and half off, his cock tucked hard against his stomach, and his face deep red. Ty pushed his hands against Hunter's chest and enjoyed the sensation of his panting for a few moments. He loved hitting Hunter's buttons until he was too horny to think. Since the kids had been born their lovemaking had been limited to stolen moments, but he planned to make up for lost time this weekend. Heaven help whoever had the rooms beside them.
"Hunter. What do you want?" Ty ran the tips of his fingers along Hunter's jaw. "I love it when you're all hot and slutty."
Hunter slowly regained his awareness in time to enjoy the site of Ty groping himself while staring at Hunter's almost nude body. Ty took charge as he slid his fingers through Hunter's wavy hair and tugged his head back again. Ty leaned to Hunter's ear, running the tip of his tongue over its rim and whispered. "I'll tell you what I want. I want my cock in your hot mouth."
Ty laid his hands on Hunter's shoulders and pushed downward. Once Hunter was kneeling, Ty tightened his fingers in his hair and pulled Hunter's face tight against his crotch.
Hunter chewed Ty's cock through the tight jeans, his face trapped in place. The hot breath over his dick became a delicious addition to the caress of Hunter's silky hair wrapped around his fingers. Pressure built, and Ty knew this first session would be intense, and quick.
Ty's nuts drew tight against his shaft. "Enough. Get up."
Hunter rose, his breathing heavy and his eyelids hooded as their gazes met. Ty kissed him hard, taking Hunter's mouth, and the kiss was returned with equal heat. Ty pulled back, breaking contact, then lunged in again and nipped at Hunter's bottom lip. He tugged backward, gave Hunter a wink and released his hold.
Without a word, he spun Hunter toward the wall. Ty grabbed his shoulders and ground his fabric-covered dick against Hunter's bare ass. Ty loved the light dusting of dark hair that fanned a short distance from Hunter's crack and the sight of it only intensified his desire.
Hunter groaned with each collision of their bodies, the sound surrounding them as the waves surging through Ty grew stronger with each passing second. The choices were easy. He needed inside Hunter. Now.
"Where is it?"
Hunter twisted his brows together. "It?"
"Damn it, the lube. Where's the lube? Unless you want raw fucked."
"Backpack. Front pocket." Hunter let out a chuckle. "I had a feeling we might need the bottle fast."
Ty grabbed the knapsack, ripped open the front pocket, and grabbed the bottle. He pried Hunter's ass apart and drizzled a small stream between his cheeks. Ty's thick finger smeared the viscous liquid over Hunter's opening then pushed some inside.
"Oh shit. Yeah," said Hunter.
Ty grunted in agreement as he fumbled with his zipper. His fingers fished through the opening; his gaze never shifting from Hunter's ass. The heat built as Ty's cock popped free, and he drenched it in a healthy coating of lube. He jacked once, crouched and pressed himself against Hunter's hot opening. He grabbed his husband's bare hips and started pushing.
"Shit! You're thick."
Hunter shook, and a fine sheen of sweat appeared. Ty kept up his steady intrusion until his jeans ground against Hunter's ass. He sighed and realized Hunter was whimpering.
"Oh, fuck. You okay?"
Hunter swallowed and then nodded, his arms shaking as he held himself up. After a few seconds, he took a deep breath and glanced over his shoulder at Ty. "Do it. I'm ready."
Ty searched Hunter's face for signs that things were not as they appeared. But the tight expression of pain had been replaced with a familiar euphoric air. He pulled back, his wet cock emerging, and then pushed himself back inside. Hunter sighed as he sagged against the wall and stuck his butt out farther.
Ty grabbed Hunter's shoulders and started fucking him, slamming harder with each thrust. Filled with hunger for his man, Ty played out a reoccurring fantasy of taking Hunter, like the hot and nasty scene that played across so many porn films. They all paled in comparison when his throbbing cock found its home inside his husband. He grabbed another fistful of hair and rammed himself deeper.
"Ah hell. Yes. More."
Ty bent Hunter almost in half as he pounded his butt with all the force in his muscular body. Ty clenched his powerful muscles with each thrust, almost lifting Hunter from the ground. His moans grew in volume as the room filled with a powerful musk of men mating and the wet sounds of hot sex. They moved beyond caring lovers, to lust fueled animals, each seeking release. And release came quickly.
The ripple of orgasm surged through Ty. Slamming himself in hard a final time, he pinned Hunter on his cock and held him as his body shook. His muscles locked and a ripple of euphoria traveled with the first wave of orgasm. The waves of pleasure traveled through him until, with a final grunt, his climax ended.
A blissful high seeped out of Ty, and he unwound his fingers from Hunter's hair. He caressed Hunter's sweaty back as his cock softened and then slipped out. The deep flush of Hunter's skin told him his lover was agonizingly close. Reaching around, he found Hunter's dripping member. His fingers wrapped tight around it, and he pulled back the foreskin to dig his thumb into the bottom of Hunter's cockhead.
"Ah, shit."
Hunter let out a guttural cry and his body tensed, cum pulsing through his cock. The pungent aroma of semen again assaulted Ty's senses as he heard a distinctive splat when Hunter's load painted the wall in front of them. He sagged as the last trickle of cum dripped on Ty's hand.
Ty wrapped one arm around Hunter, holding him secure and keeping him from collapsing into a limp pile. He pulled them together then lifted his jizz filled palm to Hunter's lips. Ty smiled as Hunter ran his tongue through the white puddle. He made several passes, letting his tongue lick up the residue of their love until Ty's palm glistened. He turned, kissed Ty and passed the mixture between them until it was lost, and then held him tenderly.
"We haven't went at it like that since—" Hunter arched his eyebrows "—since college when I was fucking the star shortstop."
Ty chuckled, lifted Hunter in his arms, and carried him to bed. He lay him down gently then knelt beside him. Running his fingers through Hunters damp hair, Ty kissed him gently. "I didn't hurt you did I? I've just been waiting so long to go at it. But I didn't—"
Hunter pressed his finger against Ty's lips. "Shut up. That was amazing, and a little kinky. Like we met in a bar or something and were trying for bog queen of the year."
Ty considered his lover and started softly laughing. "I think we did meet in a bar, and what the hell's a bog queen?"
"Guys who like making out in a public bathroom."
Ty chuckled and shook his head. "You have too much free time while you're home with the twins."
"Well you know, nap time is really more for dad than for the toddlers."
Ty lifted an eyebrow and chuckled. "Come on, let's get cleaned up before you leak all over the bed."
Hunter ran his hand over Ty's face then kissed him. "Good plan. Then we can go down to the casinos for a while."
Ty's body reflected his disappointment.
"What?" asked Hunter.
"Well—" Ty ran his tongue over his lips "—I kinda hoped we'd spend the weekend in the room."
Hunter chuckled and kissed Ty again. "You'll get of plenty sex. But we're seeing Vegas too."

Sounds of Colossal Nazare Used in New Song
By Magicseaweed on
Here's something a little different. Quiksilver has teamed up with electro producer Molecule to create music that emphasises the power and energy of macking Nazare in new documentary Sounds of Surfing, which is due to drop on January 17.
Molecule joined the crew at Nazare, recording sounds of wipeouts, vests inflating, the waves thundering overhead and the result if remarkable.
Offering advice to the producer was big wave slayer Othmane Choufani. He told MSW: "When I was told me about electronic music and big wave surfing, I was keen right away.
"It's something that I love so I said yes without really knowing much about it, then I got to Nazare and Molécule was just putting microphones in to record sounds everywhere, boards, airlift vests, under my hoodie...
"The first day I got a big wipeout and it ended up being in a song, felt really really weird to hear a pounding.
"But it was crazy because while surfing big waves, the sound is always something that is important and unique. It's nuts to see how he adapted the emotions we feel surfing big Nazare to an electronic track."

What Do You Really Crave When You're Lonely?
Starting now, you really can stop being lonely.
I've struggled with feelings of loneliness my whole life. It's a big part of why I decided to become a relationship coach. I wanted to understand why some of my relationships felt more substantial than others. I wanted to understand why sometimes I relished being alone, while at other times being alone evoked feelings of profound sadness.
The question I wanted to answer was this: What makes some relationships feel better than others? It was a mystery I was determined to figure out.
I've constantly alternated between desiring to be alone — which I know is classic introvert behavior — and desiring to be with others. The thing was, I only wanted to be with others in a very particular way: I didn't want to chit-chat, mingle, or even party. I wanted to feel warmth radiating between me and the other person. I wanted to feel safe and comfortable. I wanted to feel close. I wanted to make the loneliness stop.
Feeling Lonely In Your Relationship? 6 Sweet Ways To Reconnect
If my relationship with someone didn't have that element of closeness, it tended to make me feel more isolated than just being alone. For this reason, I found most of the popular advice about how to overcome loneliness profoundly unhelpful: "Put yourself out there more!" the experts exclaimed. "Relationships are a numbers game… get enough acquaintances and you'll eventually find yourself with some good friendships."
That sounded reasonable enough. But it felt…exhausting.
I simply didn't buy the idea that the best path out of loneliness is playing a numbers game. Most of us already have people in our lives with whom we feel that spark of connection; we just don't know how to properly fan the flames. We don't know how to move from casually interacting with someone to becoming close.
In other words, I've found, through much research and introspection, that most of us who struggle with loneliness are not lacking access to other people. That's not the source of the pain. The source of the pain is the lack of a certain feeling in our relationships. And that feeling is closeness.
As I write in my new book, Stop Being Lonely: "When a relationship lacks closeness, you'll sense that the other person doesn't really know you and/or doesn't really care about you. Loneliness is essentially sadness caused by a lack of closeness, also known as sadness caused by distance. This is why it doesn't work to simply surround yourself with people. You must actually feel close to them."
So what exactly do I mean by closeness? The feeling of closeness arises between two people when they both feel that the other understands them well and cares about them deeply. I call these essential qualities of closeness "knowing" and "caring."
Getting to know someone in a way that fosters closeness means coming to understand that person from his or her own perspective. This is substantially different from how we usually "know" people. We tend to believe we know someone when we've interacted with them a lot and developed our own theory of "how he is." But to create closeness, you must — above all else — understand how that individual sees himself or herself.
Once you can see a person from his own perspective, the next step is to start communicating that you care. In other words, show that you're interested, engaged, and invested in their happiness and well-being. This doesn't mean becoming "concerned" or worried about the person's well-being — which is really just you dumping your anxieties on someone else — it just means communicating that they matter to you.
What Dining Alone After My Breakup Taught Me About REAL Love
Together, knowing and caring are a powerful combination. They say to another person, "Not only do I see the real you, I want to keep the real you well." This is the message you will give and receive from close relationships. What more could we want?
This feeling of being understood and valued — this feeling of closeness — is what you're really craving when you're lonely. The great news: You can create this feeling with anyone who also wants to feel it. Closeness doesn't have to be something that happens randomly or by accident — it is within your control to create. Starting now, you really can stop being lonely.

Adrian Bradbury & Oliver Davies
Biography Adrian Bradbury & Oliver Davies
Adrian Bradbury
began playing the cello at the age of seven and became a principal player of the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain. After studying Veterinary Science and Music at Churchill College, Cambridge he won a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music, after which he continued his studies in Berlin with Berlin Philharmonic solo-cellist Goetz Teutsch.
He has performed concertos in seven European countries, and is in demand as guest principal with orchestras such as London Sinfonietta and the Royal Philharmonic.
He makes regular chamber music broadcasts on BBC Radio with The Composers Ensemble, London Sinfonietta, Jane's Minstrels, Chamber Domaine, Endymion, Trio Gemelli, Scottish Ensemble and Touchwood piano quartet – such concerts involve repeated appearances at the Wigmore Hall, the South Bank and the Carnegie Hall, together with major festivals (Cheltenham, Aldeburgh, City of London, Spitalfields, Huddersfield, Orkney, Nuremberg, Turku and Aarhus) and the BBC Promenade chamber music season. He has recorded on CD with all these groups (gaining "Editor's Choice" in Gramophone and 'CD of the Month' in the Daily Telegraph).
Adrian is regularly invited to be Cello Professor for the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain, and to teach and examine cello students at the Royal Academy of Music, London, where he is also Music and Science Coordinator. Adrian also holds a degree in natural science from Cambridge University and has collaborated with neuroscientists in studies on behavioural and neurological changes in string players during performances.
Oliver Davies
studied at the Royal College of Music, where he won the Tagore Gold Medal as outstanding student of his year and for many years was both a piano professor and Keeper of the Department of Portraits and Performance History (which he founded).
His playing career has covered many styles, from recordings, recitals and broadcasts on early pianos to modern British premières at the Wigmore and Queen Elizabeth Halls. As a chamber-music player he has appeared with many distinguished artists including the flautists Sir James Galway, Michael Cox and Philippa Davies, and the clarinettists Colin Bradbury and Dame Thea King. He is particularly known for his programmes on special themes, including scholarly reconstructions of historical concerts (for Aldeburgh and the BBC), surveys of the musical histories of great British houses, and re-assessments of historically significant composers and performers. Further reconstructions have been of period balls (the National Portrait Gallery and the V&A), melodramas (the Theatre Museum) and silent film scores (The National Film Theatre).
Ongoing projects include The Great War and the Violin (2014-) and Great Violinists at Drury Lane (Theatre Royal Drury Lane, 2016-), both with violinist Robert Gibbs, and a double CD with cellist Adrian Bradbury of the operatic paraphrases of Alfredo Piatti.

Real Residents Speak About Living in Brackenridge
"I've lived in other halls, but I've liked Brackenridge the best. It's incredibly friendly, and the people you meet here are really unique! The hall has a lot of history behind it (there's a blurb on it in a display case at the tower outside the graduate office, check it out!), and simple things make it a great place to live. The rooms are well sized, it has "real" closets and a unique design, you control the thermostat, the showers are quite large (good for shaving legs, trust me), there's very few people per floor and per bathroom so it's quite personable, and there's several nearby entrances and exits. And because it's just a hall, there's no traffic from conferences or people getting food, so it's really quiet, but you still have the convenience of getting food from Jester or Cypress nearby, I LOVE IT!"

Phil Gramm Quotes
15 Phil Gramm quotes:
"This bill was intended to keep America on top of the high-tech industry,"
"The accused should be tried and rendered a verdict, ... It is our constitutional duty to see this through, as tiring and trying as this may be. The constitutional process is at stake."
"I'm carrying so much pork, I'm beginning to get trichinosis"
"The Congress tends to guard its powers very jealously, now more so than ever. There's nothing wrong with the president educating the public about the line-item veto. But any president has really got to be prepared to use the veto power he already has."
"[Some supporters have sprung to his defense. Greenspan] deserves relatively little of the blame, ... never deserved all the credit for the boom. I don't think any chairman could have overcome the negative impact of the speculation that occurred in the tech and telecom area."
"We're here in a debate with a vote coming that one wanted, but here it is,"
"He has reminded me in this debate of an ancient god Aeneas whose mother was the Earth, and every time he was thrown to the ground he got up stronger than he had been when he was cast to the ground,"
"The debate here is not between reducing the debt and cutting taxes, ... The debate is between taxpayers spending money and Washington spending money."
"largest spending spree in American history"
"Tonight we have laid the foundation to make history,"
"The reality is (Clinton's) so-called tax cut is basically giving money to people who largely don't pay taxes, so that it's really spending rather than a tax cut, ... This Week."
"Government is not the generator of economic growth; working people are."
"If I bought groceries the way I buy health insurance, I'd eat a lot better - and so would my dog"
"He was the kind of man your mama wanted you to grow up to be and, until you met Paul Coverdell, you did not know that was possible,"
"We want to be sure that a new president with a new agenda has an opportunity to get it voted on,"

Darwin Renters Rights: What You Need to Know
The growing cost of housing means it is becoming increasingly difficult for the average Australian and Territorian to own a property. This is obvious if you consider the statistics that show 31.4 percent of the nation rent a home. And, in households with someone under 35 heading them, this number climbs to a staggering 63.4 percent.
Renting a home can be risky if you don't know and understand your rights and obligations as a tenant. So, here are a few things every tenant should know about the Northern Territory Residential Tenancies Act (RTA).
Becoming a Tenant in Darwin
You pay rent in advance, but this doesn't mean you pay for two rental periods at once. It only means each payment counts towards the next relevant period, whether this is a fortnight or a month.
You should make sure you have a written tenancy agreement. This agreement should ideally contain all the conditions specified by the RTA, along with any other terms both you and your landlord agree upon.
A landlord must complete an ingoing condition report for every new tenant. They must then provide you with a signed copy of this report within three business days. Photos or video of the property are useful in the event of a future dispute.
Requesting Repairs
It is your landlord's legal obligation to ensure your premises and any ancillary property are always in a suitable state of repair. There are several different categories of obligatory repairs, each with different legal obligations for both tenant and landlord. The different categories are:
- Emergency repairs
- Repairs to maintain the safety and habitability of a property
- General repairs
For tenants, the main legal obligation is that they must inform their landlords in writing as soon as they notice any repairs.
Reclaiming Your Bond
Most landlords and all agencies request a security deposit, commonly known as a bond. The maximum amount they can ask for is equal to four weeks rent. The landlord must deposit it with an official trust account in the NT.
Your landlord will refund your bond when you move out unless there are any legitimate claims against it.
Rental Increases
Your rental rate can increase during your tenancy if there is a provision for it in your written rental agreement. This provision must stipulate the amount of the increase.
Your rate cannot increase within six months of moving in or within six months after the last increase. There is, unfortunately, no limit to how much your rent can increase. But if you believe your rate is excessively high, you can apply to the Commissioner of Tenancies for a review.
When it comes to evictions in the Northern Territories, there is absolutely no legal shortcut available. Your landlord must follow a strict process set out in the RTA. Here is the process, step by step:
- If you have breached your tenancy agreement, the landlord usually has to issue a notice to remedy first.
- The landlord or rental agent must serve you with a valid, written notice to vacate.
- Landlords cannot evict you without meeting one or more of the legal grounds set out in the RTA. The eviction notice should include these grounds, along with details identifying the circumstances leading up to them.
- If you have not moved out by the date stipulated in the notice to vacate, the landlord must then apply to the ACAT for a Termination and Possession Order.
- Only if the ACAT also issues a warrant for eviction can the police get involved in evicting you from the premises.
Rent with an experienced Darwin property manager
As you can see, renting property in Australia and the Northern Territory can be a confusing and tricky business – for both tenants and landlords. That is why it's best to rent a property managed through a qualified specialist. Not only do they know every detail of the Residential Tenancies Act, they ensure the protection of your rights. And that gives you the peace of mind and security you need to enjoy your home.

Dar es Salaam (AFP) – Seven people accused of witchcraft have been burned alive in Tanzania, police said Friday, adding they have arrested 23 people in connection with the crimes.
"They were attacked and burnt to death by a mob of villagers who accused them of engaging in witchcraft," the police chief for the western Kigoma region which borders Burundi, Jafari Mohamed, told AFP.
"Five of those killed were aged over 60, while the other two were aged over 40," he added.
Among those arrested on suspicion of carrying out the killings was the local traditional healer, or witch doctor.
Relatives of those killed described horrific scenes, with the bodies of family members hacked with machetes or burned almost beyond recognition.
