Prepare yourself for your mortgage application early. If you plan to buy a house, you have to get your finances ready as soon as possible. That will include reducing your debt and saving up. Delays can cause you to lose your chance at mortgage approval.
Have you ever taken out a home loan? Whether this is your first time, or if you're in need of refinancing, then you may want to know that the mortgage market changes often. Stay up to date on these changes to make sure you don't get ripped off. Continue on and learn about all the ins and outs of those changes.
Before applying for your mortgage, study your credit report for accuracy. Credit standards are becoming even more strict, so work on your credit as soon as possible.
Don't be tempted to borrow the maximum amount for which you qualify. You are the decider. The bank may be willing to give you more than you can comfortably afford. You want to enjoy your home. Think of how you spend money and what payment amount feel comfortable.
Avoid spending lots of money before closing on the mortgage. Lenders tend to run another credit check before closing, and they may issue a denial if extra activity is noticed. Wait until after the mortgage is a sure thing to make any major purchases.
Get your documents together before approaching a lender. The appointment won't last long if you aren't prepared with prior year tax returns, payment stubs, and other financial documentation. The lender wants to see all this material, so keep it nearby.
Make a budget to define exactly how much you are willing to pay each month towards your mortgage. This means setting a limit for monthly payments, based on what you can afford and not just what type of house you want. No matter how wonderful your new home is, trouble will follow if the payments are too high.
New laws might make it possible for you to refinance your home, even if it is not worth what you owe. A lot of people that own homes have tried but failed to refinance them; that changed when the program we're speaking of was reintroduced. Check into it to see if it benefits your situation through bettering your credit position and lowering your mortgage payments.
You should plan to pay no more than thirty percent of your monthly income toward a home loan. If your mortgage payment is too big, you will end up with problems when money is tight. When you can manage your payments, you can manage your budget better.
When waiting to get word of approval, try not to incur additional debt. Many times, lenders will check your credit before closing on the loan. Any furniture buying, as well as any other expensive item or project, needs to wait until your mortgage contract is signed and a done deal.
There are several good government programs designed to assist first time homebuyers. There may be government programs to help you find lenders when you have a poor credit history or to help you secure a mortgage with a lower interest rate.
Before starting the loan process, get all your documents together. Most lenders require a standard set of documents pertaining to income and employment. W2 forms, bank statements and the last two years income tax returns will all be required. If these documents are ready, your process will be smoother and faster.
Put all of your paperwork together before visiting a lender. Lenders want to see bank statements, income documentation and proof of any other existing assets. Having these things on hand and organized before you go to get a loan will make everything go a little faster as your loan is processed.
Determine your terms before you apply for your mortgage, not only to demonstrate to the lender you are responsible, but also to maintain a reasonable monthly budget. Set a monthly payment ceiling based on your existing obligations. Regardless of how great it is to live in a new home, you're going to hate it if you wind up not being able to afford it.
Have a few low balances on credit cards instead of huge balances on two or one. Avoid maxing out your credit cards. If it's possible, shoot for below 30%.
When you understand the process, you can find a better mortgage. A mortgage is often the biggest financial commitment you make in your life. You want to enjoy your home and not see it as a financial burden. You need to get a great mortgage from a solid, respectable lending institution.
Minimize your debts before you decide to buy a home. A home mortgage will take a chunk of your money, and you should be able to comfortably afford it. Less debt will make your process easier.

Novaseek Research and Massachusetts Hospital Association (MHA) partner to help hospitals and patients contribute to biomedical research
Boston, MA, January 7, 2016 – Massachusetts Hospital Association (MHA) and Novaseek Research today announced a novel collaboration that will enable Massachusetts-based hospitals and patients to contribute broadly to the advancement of biomedical research. Through this collaboration, MHA member hospitals will leverage Novaseek's state-of-the art platform to provide researchers in industry and academia with biospecimens and associated clinical data from consenting patients, accelerating research into the diagnosis and treatment of human disease.
Breakthroughs in medicine require the support of patients and healthcare organizations of all sizes. However, many institutions struggle to balance research engagement with their core mission of providing patient care. The Novaseek platform makes contributing to biomedical research easier than ever before by plugging into health information systems at hospitals and labs, and matching data and specimens from consenting patients directly to research needs.
Getting access to clinical data and biospecimens is a chronic problem that continues to delay or derail vital research projects. Novaseek integrates clinical data from multiple healthcare organizations, ensuring that the data is HIPAA-compliant and easy to use in R&D. Novaseek's platform realizes the potential of the electronic medical record (EMR) by accessing streams of data on thousands of specimens from consenting patients that flow through hospital laboratories each day and that would otherwise be discarded.
It provides researchers with powerful analytics, based on real-world real-time data, and supports project planning and biospecimen accrual projections. Furthermore, the platform enables researchers to specify criteria such as lab values, gender, diagnosis and medication history, and then match these search criteria to biospecimens in the hospitals. Novaseek and its healthcare partners use IRB-approved protocols and patient consents to ensure the ethical conduct of research and respect for all participants.
"We are excited to collaborate with the Massachusetts Hospital Association," said Dr. Kate Torchilin, CEO, Novaseek Research. "Novaseek was born from the need to bridge the world of life sciences research and the hospital world. Our collaboration with MHA is also strategically aligned with the objectives of the NIH's Precision Medicine Initiative announced earlier this year."
"Novaseek Research is a key technology leader who will enable more patients at more hospitals to participate in vital biomedical research," said Lynn Nicholas, President and CEO of MHA. "As the first hospitals in Massachusetts begin to adopt Novaseek's platform, we are proud to promote getting consented patient data and samples into the hands of researchers who are developing new treatments and cures , and further strengthening Massachusetts' preeminent position in life sciences research."
About MHA
The Massachusetts Hospital Association (MHA) is a voluntary, not-for-profit organization comprised of hospitals and health systems, related organizations, and other members with a common interest in promoting the good health of the people of the Commonwealth. Through leadership in public advocacy, education, and information, MHA represents and advocates for the collective interests of its members and supports their efforts to provide high quality, cost effective and accessible care. While Massachusetts hospitals and other care providers are facing an era of unprecedented change, MHA members remain committed to their most basic mission: caring for people. To continue to fulfill this mission, the hospitals and health systems of Massachusetts support a set of fundamental values. We believe that the health care system must:
About Novaseek
Novaseek connects researchers from industry and academia with healthcare organizations, and enables broad patient participation in medical advances. The Novaseek Clinical Data Network for Research (CDNR) is the industry's first HIPAA compliant comprehensive platform that enables researchers to access real-world, real-time clinical data and large quantities of high quality biospecimens. Incorporating Novaseek's CDNR platform across all phases of research and development helps to generate powerful new insights, increases R&D productivity, and decrease risk in the pursuit of new cures. The CDNR platform was developed by experts in drug development, hospital operations and health IT to create a win-win for industry, academia, healthcare providers and patients.

Residual Pulmonary Hypertension and Pulmonary Artery Denervation
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a rare lung disease that refers to an increase in blood pressure in the pulmonary arteries. Unfortunately, there is no known cure available to end PH, but research has been evolving and doctors and scientists have been discovering some new ways to approach this lung condition.
You might be interested in reading more about Uptravi (selexipag) as a treatment for PH.
Treatment options have been discussed and research has been evolving towards finding new ways to ease the symptoms of this condition. In this video, shared by PCR, Boris Rudenko, from Russia, discusses a promising first-in-human-study. The symplicity denervation system is regarded a possible treatment option as an effective clinical procedure for patients with residual pulmonary hypertension after pulmonary thromboembolism and surgical thrombendarterectomy.
But is this a possibility? Watch the video and learn more about Rudenko's considerations on the subject.

Illustration Friday: Twist
Always a family favorite, how many of you out there have played Hasbro's "Bop-It" Game? It's a toy that you either have to Bop, Twist, or Turn when the contraption instructs you to so. It literally talks to you and gets progressively faster the longer you play without messing up. Not an easy game but addictive. When I heard this week's IF topic "twist", this is the first thing I thought about.

Patient discussion about garlic
Q. Is garlic helpful in heart ailments? I have heard that garlic is very good for cardiac health and using in curries or cooked with foods will be helpful. I have also heard that it has anti-inflammatory substances and also helps in weight loss. Is garlic helpful in heart ailments?
A. It acts as antioxidant and reduces the amount of free radicals in your body. It's helpful once taken raw. But the raw garlic can cause bad breadth and blistering of skin and diarrhea. So, there should be a reduced intake of raw garlic. It's better to have garlic in a cooked up form like in curries or with vegetables. This will also give the desired benefits of garlic and the side effect of over consumption of garlic will also be reduced.More discussions about garlic

All of the dance hats you wear: Choreographer, teacher, fundraiser, grant writer, mentor, producer, director, curriculum builder, collaborator
Non-dance work you have done in the past: Being Canadian I was unable to get a work visa for non-dance related jobs, so most of my work has been movement and body related including personal training and becoming a massage therapist. I did administrative work in exchange for classes.

Describe your dance life in your….
20s: I found my 20s to be a professional and personal roller coaster. It took me a long time to distinguish between the goals that had evolved over years of expectations placed on me during my training and what I actually wanted to do.
After a major injury I sustained at Juilliard, I devoted myself to directing and choreographic projects. I realized how natural it felt to be at the front of the class, how much I wanted to say, teach, and give. I discovered a love of collaborating with dancers, turning off the lights in the studios and leading improvisations. I started to mentor first year students. Yet, upon graduating I felt compelled to prove myself as a performer and wanting to live up to the expectations that come with being a Juilliard grad.
The first years out of school were disorienting. I went to auditions but was not confident and it showed; I rented studio space but ended up walking around the room a lot. On the outside I was doing well — dancing with a small company, working as a personal trainer, administrating a dance festival — but on the inside I did not feel successful. I met someone on tour and decided to move in with him in Connecticut. Leaving New York was both helpful and heartbreaking.
I thought about quitting dance altogether; I thought about grad school; I thought about becoming a physical therapist. One day the phone range, and I was offered a job teaching Dance Kinesiology at The Hartford Ballet, and I said yes. (My injury had led me to study of anatomy and kinesiology extensively and to intensive work in Bartenieff Fundamentals, Alexander Technique, and Feldenkrais, as well as working with Irene Dowd.) The next day I was invited to audition for a dance company, and got the job. Within three years I was teaching 15 classes a week at various universities, seeing 10 massage clients per week, rehearsing with two choreographers, and making my own work. It was as if I had to be ready to drop it all to start again. It was also a safe place, to be in CT and out of the glare of NY. I could experiment, be okay with not knowing what I was doing. I produced concerts in collaboration with other choreographers and found courage in their company. Four years went by and again I received a phone call out of the blue, two in fact.
One was an invitation to teach at UCLA, the other to teach in Turkey. I jumped at the chance to move. Things hadn't worked out with the person I went to CT for, and at 28 I drove to LA one January morning. It felt as if I was coming out of a shell. I had been working in a cocoon and didn't know the value of my work. It was in LA I began to believe I could have a career as a choreographer/educator that was akin to my mother's life as a research scientist who conducted experiments in her lab and taught in medical school. Although now this is a common expectation, I had no idea it was possible in dance. It was not the narrative of my training.
30s: In my 30s I hit a stride. I felt confident. UCLA offered me a full-time job and I turned it down to go to Istanbul for the year. In Turkey I taught 12 students all day, everyday for a year. I created 8 pieces with them. I call it my PhD in teaching. By the end of the year I was exhausted and exhilarated and ready to return to New York. It had been six years since I left.
I re-arrived in NY in 1999 with dreams of building a full-time company. My first evening length show was at Joyce SoHo, and over the next few years I applied for everything, went to everything, and said yes to everything. I had a terrific group of dancers I worked with, several of whom are still with me, and their commitment brought new dimensions to my choreography. We were very much a family, slightly zany and ready to work.
Then 9/11 happened and prompted me to reassess my priorities. I was 34, what did I want? I missed building relationships with students; working freelance teaching master classes was not as fulfilling as building change over the course of a semester or year. Prior to 9/11 I avoided thinking about having children but then realized, yes, I did want to see if it was possible. Within two years I had given birth to my son and accepted a part-time position at Princeton. My twins, identical girls, arrived 4 years later.

40s: I'm in my mid forties. I have been at Princeton for 10 years. My son is 11, my twins are 6. I had a New York season last June with six sold-out shows and excellent reviews. I think I'll look back on this time and wonder how I managed it all. People ask me and I have no idea how to answer. I wake up, I drink coffee, I do the work. Scheduling is the hardest. A day can consist of getting the kids ready and off to school, going to rehearsal, commuting to Princeton for a faculty meeting, teaching a class, going home to make dinner and do homework, putting the kids to bed and likely sending a few more emails or working on a grant application.
Now instead of fighting to get every gig or grant, the phone rings a bit. I still struggle with making blind phone calls and self-promoting, but I have a sustainable process to choreograph every year. While I will likely never have full-time employment for my dancers as I had once hoped, I have work and will continue to choreograph. My appointment at Princeton affords me this stability both by providing a salary and through the opportunity to apply for research funding. In many ways I feel I am emerging as a choreographer as I have been a bit of an outlier, never the "hot" one. To get produced and receive grants you need people routing for you and talking about you, and it has taken me a long time to build those relationships. I feel I am just beginning.
How has being a dancer shifted/changed since becoming a parent as well?
There is more balance but less time. It is rejuvenating to be absorbed in my children — playing with them, talking about the world, taking them to performances, watching them make choices. Conversely, it makes my time in the studio and working on projects more precious. Being a parent enables me to be more clear about my priorities in life in general. It is hard to stop tracking emails and thinking about what needs to be done when I am with my children, but I strive to keep work time separate. This means I have less time to rehearse, or promote my work, or read all of the latest research in the field, or attend every performance I would like to see. But if that was all I was doing and didn't have children I think I would drive myself crazy and never stop with my lists! Children help me make sense of the world around me and myself and these realizations profoundly influence my art-making. My children have taught me to suspend judgment, to notice the details, and to truly be in the moment. So if now it takes me four years to have a season in New York instead of 2, it is okay. I have the gift of perspective.

What do you look for in a dancer?
That is a tricky question! There is certainly a "je ne sais quoi" aspect to noticing which dancer that inspires me. I can see two equally accomplished dancers but one will be compelling to me as a potential collaborator and another will not. I tell my students there is no formula to being the best dancer at an audition. I want students to have the confidence that sometimes there isn't anything you can do better, it isn't about you and they shouldn't take rejection personally. It is crippling to think every time you audition or are passed over for a project it means that you are not good enough. That isn't it! It simply isn't a match and that has nothing to do with their expertise. I watch some of the most fantastic dancers in the world and know I wouldn't choose them for a project. Yes, I would love to be commissioned to choreograph with any dancer and love that challenge, but when selecting dancers for my projects there are practical factors and unexplainable elements. On the practical side I look for mastery of physical skills in an amalgam of modern forms. I also need an equal amount of abandon, fearlessness, and ability to throw one's self off balance. I love precision and freedom. I look for people who know how to take care of themselves, can warm themselves up, and are actively taking care of their own bodies and pursing their training. Many of my dancers are also creators themselves.
You describe your company as a "project-based group." Does that mean you do, or do not, have a core group of dancers?
I do have a core group; I have dancers who have been with me for 13 years. They may not be able to do every project, but it gives me a consistency and the ability to build on previous work. When a new dancer comes into a project where there are people who know me there is a shorthand and a passing on of process.
Photo: Anna Finke
On average, how many hours a week do you do company-related work (choreographing, rehearsing, admin)?
There are weeks where I am full-time on company related rehearsals and administration. But during the semester I teach 2-3 days per week and I try and reserve two days a week for combined self-care (taking class, swimming, gyrotonic) and administration. I would love to have a weekly rehearsal schedule but intensive work during breaks from Princeton are more common and easier to schedule.
What are 3 pieces of advice you want to give to aspiring choreographers?
- Find safe places to develop your work.
- Take time on the process, change your process, experiment with ways of working and trust every flash of new ideas no matter how outlandish.
- Research related ideas in other art forms, see as much work as possible, and develop a community of artists.

What are the key skills a "modern dancer" needs in 2014?
There is a delicate balance between being able to do everything and being a master at a specific style or genre. Many people have observed that students need to be able to do "everything" now — all modern forms, ballet, yoga, African, hip hop, the list could go on — but you can see a dancer who has those things but isn't masterful and may not work because of that, and others who are a master of one style who also cannot get work.
What is the pursuit of excellence in training now? I've seen many answers to this question, I do not believe there is a single training system that works for everyone. No matter the style it takes continuous work and an insane amount of dedication.
I think a key is to be able to improvise and generate compelling material. Most choreographers will ask a dancer to generate material, either in a conceptual way or physically, and this is a skill that can be cultivated. Students need more than a single improvisation or choreography course, a sense of "making" should be present in all classes. I think students need to move away from the idea that the material in technique classes is the material of choreography. It isn't. Technique classes are training, to prepare facility, to prevent injury, to give body more choices. In rehearsals students need to be comfortable with the unknown, willing to try something new, and know how to be a collaborator in the creative process.
What is on your plate/on your calendar for the next year's time?
I will to be on sabbatical next year and have more time to focus on my work. We have plans to tour Coming Together/Attica, the piece I presented last June at The Invisible Dog in Brooklyn, and develop a new piece. We will show an excerpt of our newest piece as part of La Mama Moves! Festival in New York this May, and in the summer there are possible performances in Venice and Greece. In the fall we will return to Turkey and hopefully plans for a residency in Poland will come through. In February we will plan to perform Coming Together/Attica at Shenandoah Conservatory and hope to build a few more engagements onto that tour. If all goes well we will be ready to premiere a new work in New York in June 2015. Now I have to raise some money!!!!
Can you talk a little bit about your interest in writing on dance?
Last year I began to write a book, "Question Technique," that will share my methodology for planning technique classes in this day of integrating multiple techniques, styles, genres. It is not my goal to have people teach the same class I teach, but rather share a system and series of questions that could be applied to developing technique classes in any genre. I delivered a paper on the topic , Plan Critically to Teach Creatively, at the NDEO conference last November. I hope to return to writing soon, but while my children are young and while I still want to primarily be making work, the bulk of the book may need to wait a few more years.
In 2014, what is your relationship with technology (as a dancer, artist, marketing your work, etc)?
Aside from living with my laptop, to me technology as a dancer means staying abreast of new training methods, and to this end I continue to train. As a choreographer I use video in the rehearsal process and video editing to experiment with manipulation and sequencing outside of the studio. If I use video projection for a project, I hire professionals. For marketing I used to design everything and knew Photoshop and Final Cut, now I hire experts to do the work. They can do it much faster than I, as I have to relearn the software every time!
Final advice to young dancers:
Give yourself time. The creative act is not only choreographing or dancing but also the act of creating your career. Try to avoid "if only" thinking. If only I had such and such job, if only I got that grant, if only I performed in x theater, if only I had a great review. There is no one definition of success. Do not judge yourself as you go; give yourself a set amount of time, 3 years say, or 5, and agree to look back after that time and assess. Fear can fell the best of us. Act confidently and courageously.

I'm quite taken with BERG London's Matt Jones' admonition that AI should be as smart as a puppy (BASAAP). It's a way of bypassing the uncannny valley problem that plagues artificial intelligence and robot design. It's a method of avoiding the uncanny valley by making things that don't try to cross in the first place. AI is going to be weird and break interactions in unexpected ways, so evoke something like a puppy, which we expect to behave weirdly anyway.
photo credit: paloetic (sporadic — on a road trip)
You can see this at work in Pleo, the robot dinosaur. The baby robot dinosaur. Babies are expected to be clumsy and behave strangely. By dressing the toy up in baby skin, bugs become features. Got an erratic walk-cycle? Wonderful. Toddlers can't walk either. AI have trouble parsing instructions? Well done!
"Aw, it's just as adorably stupid as a real baby."
This matters. There is evidence that more attractive interfaces are easier to use. Let's assume for the moment that creepy interfaces are unattractive. Skipping the uncanny valley doesn't just make a toy more saleable, it makes the world easier to operate.
Another way of dodging the uncanny valley is to be a jerk. Mark Humphry's left his chatbot MGonz online one night in 1989. It ended up engaging in a 90 minute fight with an anonyous user.
It's a stroke of genius because, as becomes painfully clear from reading the MGonz transcripts, argument is stateless—that is, unanchored from all context, a kind of Markov chain of riposte, meta-riposte, meta-meta-riposte. Each remark after the first is only about the previous remark. If a program can induce us to sink to this level, of course it can pass the Turing Test.
Brian Christian Mind vs. Machine The Atlantic, March 2011
Perhaps BASAAP works for similar (but more adorable) reasons. The clumsiness and distractibility of a juvenile resets the state too, but pulls off the trick of allowing more conversational moves between resets. You can feel like you're getting somewhere. Maybe you actually can get somewhere. When something goes wrong, that's to be expected, so you patiently try again, knowing that it's trying its best too.
Most intriguingly, the directives to BASAAP, or Just Be A Jerk imply to whole fields of emotional landscape for interaction design to explore and exploit. Consider nymphomanic AI or AI that's high as a kite. What situations are best served by a dismissive personality? When is an uncaring, unlistening father-figure AI called for? Maybe we need a robot that barks orders. What about permanently depressed AI? After all, Marvin the Paranoid Android is quite popular.
Anything other than straightforward, polite, doomed attempts to help.

Wright-Approach Rescue has two locations, an consumption middle and an adoption center. Maintain deposits cannot be transferred to another animal if the first adoption just isn't accomplished or authorized for any reason. 4 Rabbits are sometimes handled in the same manner previous to Easter as properly, though they are rarely found in common shelters since they are thought of "exotic" (something not a canine or cat). All adoptable animals can be found for viewing at PetSmart on choose weekends.
We're dedicated to rescuing homeless, abandoned, or abused animals prone to euthanasia in shelters, given up by their owners due to difficult circumstances, or in danger of abuse or neglect. Worthy Dog Rescue is an all-volunteer 501(c)(three) nonprofit group dedicated to serving to canines in misery, particularly those dwelling on chains, in pens, or in neglectful and abusive conditions.
Earlier than adopting a puppy, you'll want to be sure that the opposite human members of your household are enthusiastic in regards to the decision and perceive the dedication concerned. We need to be sure that every animal adopted shall be matched with probably the most appropriate household. Many canines for adoption in shelters or with canine rescue groups are already educated and able to go!
She resides in a home with canine and cats, is home skilled, sleep in mattress with her foster mama, and loves to cuddle in for Netflix marathons. On the island of Providenciales in Turks & Caicos, there are a ton of rescued canines able to be performed with, walked, and even adopted. Learn to foster here or e mail [email protected] when you have any questions about saving shelter pets in want!
We really admire the amazing present of affection and appreciation for these particular dogs! Many adoptions can be accomplished the identical day, but some could require extra time. By rescue and schooling, NMDR continues in its life-saving work while enlightening the public in regards to the fact of pet retailer puppies. All of the puppies we rescue come to us searching for love and a "forever" residence.

SWAGGER x New Era – Bleach Denim Snap Back Cap
An essential of the 70s & 80s, bleached denim is back thanks large part to the effort of Japanese label SWAGGER and its unorthodox application. In its most recent headwear collection, SWAGGER used the New Era snap back cap as the base with application of light indigo and gray denim on the exterior. On the front, a layered embroidery that overlaps each other in black and white colors. With all application of bleached fabrics, each cap will show a slightly different look. Available at all SWAGGER retail locations in Japan and its c.i.y by SWAGGER online store

Fox commits to J.J. Abrams' 'Alcatraz' pilot
If "The Event" really was intended to be something of a substitution for "Lost" fans, it looks like the NBC show may end up getting competition.
J.J. Abrams, who created the oft-puzzling yet addictive series that concluded with much fanfare in May, has attracted Fox with a pitch for another island-based show called "Alcatraz," according to EW.
Fox has given a pilot commitment to the program, which is based on a script written by "Lost" scribe Elizabeth Sarnoff.
Details are scarce (this is J.J. Abrams we're talking about here) but it does appear that the plot will revolve around the notorious prison in the San Francisco Bay that housed the likes of Al Capone.

Before he became a famous Arizona rancher one might refer to Henry Clay Hooker was a turkey boy. He tried his hand at mining, then opened up a hardware store in Hangtown, later called Placerville high up in the Mother Lode country. A fire destroyed his store in leaving him nearly broke. A year later he purchased turkeys from farms in the Sacramento Valley for a dollar-fifty a head, hired another turkey boy to help with the drive and brought along two turkey-herding dogs.
They commenced to drive them over the Sierra Nevada to the rich Comstock Lode country around Virginia City, Nevada but just as they were crossing the last ridge those turkeys stampeded and jumped off the cliff.
Once again it looked like Henry had lost his grubstake. They rode down to the bottom of the cliff to access the damage and found the turkeys waiting patiently. They drove them on to the Comstock and sold them for five bucks a head. With this small fortune in hand he went to Texas and bought a thousand head of Longhorns and drove them to Arizona. Once again it looked like he was going to lose his investment when they arrived in what would later become Cochise County, the cattle stampeded.
Once again Lady Luck smiled upon him. The cattle were found grazing in a verdant, well-watered valley south of Mount Graham. During the next few years he made friends with the Apache leader, Cochise, acquired a large herd of some 30, purebred Hereford cattle and horses on , acres of land.
He also became friends with Wyatt Earp, whom the honest ranchers supported in the war against the cattle rustlers in the area. Hooker shipped so many cattle the railroads always gave him a free ride. Henry Starr. Belle Starr. Just how were the two notorious folks related?

'Perfect' is probably not a word that many people would use to describe their life, love or career. But it can be a useful acronym to help you achieve balance and get the basics right:
P urpose
E xercise
R elaxation
F ocus
E ating well
C orrecting and improving
T hinking
One quarter of the Work Horizons site is dedicated to helping people find purpose and meaning; it is that important.
We want to feel that we matter, what we are trying to achieve matters and there is something beyond the mundane.
Physical exercise is great for both body and mind. We need to look after ourselves and, in doing so enhance our capabilities.
If we are fit and healthy it will enhance energy levels, ability to concentrate and work performance.
It isn't imperative to live life by travelling at 100 mph, in everything we do. In fact, the reverse is true. Our wellbeing is improved if we can find time and succeed in being relaxed at times.
There are specific techniques in mindfulness to help us chill but relaxing isn't a matter of doing nothing. It can be the contrasts of sport, TV, helping a charity or anything which appeals to you. These may even dovetail into your personal sense of purpose.
Do you have a butterfly mind? Are you easily distracted? Are there so many things happening at work that it isn't possible to achieve anything? Do you allow priorities to vacillate? It maybe you have lost the art of concentration because of the noise the world around us creates.
Whatever the reason for our difficulties in maintaining focus, we need to regain it. Whether it is for work, family or other interests, focus is the glue which holds together our talent and intentions.
Eating well
Eating, and indeed drinking, will impact on our health and energy levels. There are a very large number of learned papers on this subject; and there are almost as many 'experts' pontificating. We could never read everything on this subject and so much of the advice seems to be contradictory, or to be a seasonal fad.
Having said that, we know what is good for us and that there needs to be some level of moderation.
Correcting and improving
Nobody is perfect, which is, after all, the point of this article.
We need to reflect on our behaviours and intentions to highlight areas to address. There may be subtle adjustments but there may be fundamental change, and we know all change is painful. It will only happen if we are committed and we know to what we are altering.
Do not let life float by unconsidered. This drifts us in to the world of Socrates but is no less relevant because of that.
Left alone, 80% of our thoughts can be negative. This gives us a major opportunity to live in a better way. Watch for the slide into unhealthy thoughts of dislike, envy and scenarios which will probably never occur. More often than not, reality is nowhere as awful as we allow our imagination to assume.
Think about how to improve relationships, live life more fully, what matters to us and who can help get better. It can be cathartic and a 'game-changer'.

Tesla and its billionaire chief Elon Musk were hit by two new lawsuits yesterday, over claims that Musk's surprise proposal to take the company private was scheme designed to target short-sellers of Tesla stock.
Musk announced on Twitter earlier this week that he was considering taking the electric carmaker private at a share price of $420 (£328.86) and total market value of $72bn, adding that he had already secured the necessary funding.
Read more: Tesla loses headwind as analysts cast doubt on going private
One lawsuit, filed by Tesla investor Kalman Isaacs, said Musk's tweets amounted to a "nuclear attack" on short-sellers, designed to "completely decimate" them for not believing in Tesla's stock to date.
On Wednesday, several members of Tesla's board issued a statement to say they had been informed of Musk's intentions a week before the news was made public. Others, however, stayed silent as they have yet to see more detailed financial evidence from Musk.
The two lawsuits filed by Isaacs and William Chamberlain on Friday alleged that Musk and Tesla's behaviour following the tweets violated US securities law, and artificially inflated the company's share price.
Tesla has yet to make a public statement on the matter.
Read more: Softbank held talks with Elon Musk about taking Tesla private in 2017
Musk's tweets on Tuesday temporarily caused Tesla's share price to surge more than 13 per cent, having since crashed back down by two-thirds of that gain after the US Securities and Exchange Commission began an inquiry into Musk's activity.
Isaacs claims that Tesla's volatility on Wall Street after the Twitter storm has cost shareholders shorting the stock hundreds of millions of dollars, and caused all Tesla securities purchasers to pay inflated prices over the three-day period leading up to Friday 10 August.
Short-sellers of Tesla's stock have faced increasing aggression from Musk over recent months, with the billionaire citing the lack of market support as one of the main reasons he wants to take the company private.
Tesla's share price edged higher as markets closed late last night, increasing 0.86 per cent to $355.49.

While I was away on Holiday I had the chance to watch one of our most majestic birds of prey, the Hen Harrier, also known as Skydancers due to their spectacular breeding flying displays. On Mull there is a reasonable population and they are fairly easy to locate given a little knowledge and the ability to sit and observe quietly.
However as you may have heard these birds are now making the main stream news (BBC , Sky, Independent) due to their desperately low numbers in the UK and England especially. The population survey revealed that in England (2016) there are now only 4, yes 4 breeding pairs. Hen Harriers are upland birds, they like open moorland and hunt a variety of birds and small mammals and this is why they are at risk of extinction in England. While there is suitable habitat for over 300 breeding pairs the vast majority of that habitat is managed for Grouse shooting.
Grouse shooting is big business, very big. On an exclusive, driven shoot that cost can run up to and over £1000 a gun. The shoots owners want the biggest number of birds for their clients to shoot and so intensively manage the moors to provide the optimum habitat and minimum threat to their game bird numbers. Heather is burnt to provide fresh new shoots for the birds to eat, medicated grit is put down to help against disease and predators are exterminated. This creates a completely artificial habitat where Grouse numbers are excessively high and biodiversity low.
"The reasons for the population changes are likely to be a combination of factors that vary from region to region. From previous research, it is known that the main factor limiting the UK hen harrier population is illegal killing of these birds associated with driven grouse moor management in northern England and parts of mainland Scotland" – Martin Harper, RSPB Conservation Director
The extermination of predators takes the form of trapping with fen traps for Stoats & Weasels, the snaring of Foxes (and probably Badgers), (Mountain Hares are shot in huge numbers in Scotland because its believed they carry a virus which can effect Grouse) the use of Larsen traps for Corvids and also the shooting, poisoning and trapping of birds of prey. While some predator control is perfectly legal (but morally abhorrent) any persecution of raptors is illegal. The Hen Harrier is a schedule 1 protected species, this is the highest afforded protection offered by law however this doesn't stop them from being illegally killed by Gamekeepers (along with many other birds of prey), no doubt under instruction from their employers.
Due to the remote nature of Grouse moors and the solitary existence of the sociopaths that are gamekeepers, catching and prosecuting these criminals is extremely hard. Even when solid evidence is produced it seems once again that money and social standing become a get of jail free card. The Countryside Alliance, the British Association for Shooting and Conservation (an oxymoron if ever I heard one) and the Game & Wildlife Trust will make lots of noises about how intensive management is good for wildlife and some ground nesting bird species in particular and how raptor crime is committed by just a few bag eggs but this is nothing more than smoke and mirrors are far from the truth. Sure some species may benefit from what they do but any thriving ecosystem needs a top to bottom balance of predator and prey species and managed Grouse moors are nothing like this. And the "few bad eggs" claim is complete nonsense. The science simply does not back up these claims and the illegal persecution of raptors is endemic in the gamekeeping community.
I have met quite a few keepers in my time and I've yet to meet one who I'd consider a 'normal' person. They are nearly all loner types with a pathological hatred for all predators and a love for killing things. They seem to show a complete lack of compassion and empathy – these are the type of traits exhibited by murders and there is a direct scientifically proven link between those who kill animals going on to kill people.
The most galling aspect of this is we, the tax payer are supporting this. Grouse moor owners get huge Government subsidies to the tune of millions each year and yet they provide virtually nothing in the form of food for the human population. Whether this will continue after we leave the EU remains to be seen however it shouldn't be the case in the first place. Why should these land owners take money from the general population so a very rich minority can blast an intensively reared game bird from the sky in large numbers while our native predators and Hen Harriers in particular become extinct due to their actions. The situation needs to change before we lose this iconic species.
If you want to get involved Hen Harrier days are being arranged across the country with more to be finalised soon, see below.
The Game & Wildlife Trust has responds to the survey results. You can read it over on the excellent Raptor Persecution UK site along with their comment. When you read this you'll understand what our wildlife is up against and I'm as blown away as the people at RPUK.

Provide Toll-Free Phone Numbers (Classic)
If you have a paid subscription plan, your built-in audio options automatically include long distance (toll) phone numbers for over 30 countries. Your attendees will be responsible for charges billed from their own telephone provider when they use these phone numbers to dial in to the audio conference. In addition, you can also provide toll-free phone numbers with enhanced audio. With toll-free phone numbers, the organizer's account is charged a per-minute usage fee for each attendee who connects using toll-free audio. This provides attendees with an alternative to connecting with their mic and speakers (VoIP) or incurring long distance phone charges, making it easy for them to choose the most convenient method of joining the audio conference. Call Me allows you and your attendees to receive a phone call from GoToMeeting when a session starts to automatically connect you to the audio conference without dialing in!
The features that are available on your account may vary depending on your subscription plan.
- Organizers incur per-minute charges for each attendee who uses toll-free audio service.
- To minimize billing charges, any attendee who joins a session before the organizer is disconnected after 5 minutes of inactivity. If the session is canceled and never started by the organizer, then no charges are incurred. However, if an organizer joins the session, even if was never started, the account is charged for the organizer's minutes along with the minutes incurred by any attendees waiting for the event to start.
Add Enhanced Audio (toll-free number & Call Me) to your GoTo Meeting plan
Billing admins can purchase GoTo Meeting Plus Enhanced Audio at any time. Once your account includes this plan, you will see the toll-free audio and Call Me options whenever you schedule meetings and under the default audio options.

How big will 'Sultan' be? Trade experts play guessing gameJul 5, 2016 Subhash K. Jha
Mumbai: As Bollywood buffs brace themselves for the release of the new Salman Khan starrer on Wednesday, the question being asked is how big is big when it comes to the "Dabangg" superstar. "Sultan", releasing on Eid, is expected to make a new box office record in the first week, say trade experts.
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh said: "Salman Khan + Yash Raj Films + Eid release... it can't get bigger than that. Over the years, Salman's box office status has multiplied manifold and every film of his generates tremendous curiosity.
"The volume of business coupled with the massive fan following he enjoys, raises the bar every time a new Salman film is about to release."
Sounding a note of caution for those who are already predicting that "Sultan" will be the biggest blockbuster of Salman's career, Adarsh added: "It's a bit too early to predict if 'Sultan' will surpass the business of his previous films. But the fact is that the advance booking has been fantastic and it being a five-day weekend, the film is expected to shatter records."
The movie is about a wrestler who has problems in his professional and personal life, and needless to say, Salman -- who at 50, has one of the best physiques in tinsel town -- has gone all out to be in his fittest frame for the movie.
"Sultan" comes at a time when Salman is caught in a controversy for using an inappropriate simile of having "felt like a raped woman" while describing his ordeal during the shooting of "Sultan". He made the statement during a press interaction, and his comment last month snowballed into a controversy.
Nevertheless, trade pundit Komal Nahta is more certain of the success of the Ali Abbas Zafar directorial, which also stars Anushka Sharma.
"There are all chances of it being Salman's biggest ever. At least one of his biggest for sure. Music, craze, dialogues, trailers... Everything is highly talked about. Box office history is waiting to be rewritten," he said.
Added trade analyst Atul Mohan: "'Sultan' producer Yash Raj Films is targeting at the widest release for the movie not only in India, but overseas also. The audience is hungry for a massy film which hasn't come for a long time."
He said that the advance booking looks promising.
"With the long weekend ahead, the film should easily cross more than half of Salman's previous best collections within five days... The content of 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' ensured that it got a good run at the box office, and if the content of 'Sultan' is lapped up by the audience, then new records will be created."
Senior journalist and critic Bharathi S. Pradhan said: "It will be huge. But beating his own blockbusters may be a problem. It would depend on how good the film itself is. If it's disappointing like 'Prem Ratan Dhan Payo', it won't go beyond the expected initial draw."
However critic Raja Sen is not that gung-ho about Salman's "Sultan" act.
"It might well be a massive hit, though I'd dreamily like to believe his imbecility will finally have a visible impact this time around and, like me, maybe a few dozen people will choose not to watch it. But don't bet on it."

The Lowest Level of Force
December 7, 2020
The Records area at Rusafa Prison Complex in Baghdad is enclosed by a chain-link fence and was almost always crowded. It's a stressful place, with inmates being processed in and out, Iraqi military, police, corrections, advocates, politicos, and sometimes families of the convicts are present and a small handful of American advisors.
Physical Reaction to Information
December 14, 2015
Our right to physically defend ourselves is widely accepted in the contemporary world. Most countries have laws protecting the individual from prosecution when he or she is under direct threat and must defend against bodily harm or even death. What is less clear, though, is the degree to which we are allowed to protect ourselves in that narrow window when an aggressor has decided to attack but has not yet attacked.
Nonphysical Reaction to Information
November 2, 2015
We all have the ability to use our instincts. The problem is that we often bury that inherent skill under a lot of what we need to learn to get along in contemporary society. So sometimes we may get a warning message about a potential threat, but then we choose to ignore it, perhaps out of doubt in ourselves, and our feelings, or perhaps because we just don't want to believe we may be in danger. The first task, then, is to hone our instincts through improving our ability to experience anxiety and to proficiently process the information coming in from our environment.
Motivation of the Warrior
October 12, 2015
The motivation of the individual or group plays an integral role in determining the final outcome when facing a combative or self-defense situation. Intention that is positively grounded increases focus, strength, speed, and endurance. Think of a mother lion defending her cubs. She experiences anxiety but is fearless in protecting them. People are the same. Through my years of experience, I am convinced that when we are motivated by what is good, we will eventually prevail over those who are not. We all choose to live by either service, which we might even call love, or power.
Power Issues Relating to Women
September 28, 2015
According to the World Health Organization, one in three women worldwide will be the victim of violence, including sexual violence. Over twenty-two million women in the United States have been sexually assaulted. The FBI estimates only 46 percent of these assaults are reported. These statistics tell us it is vital for every woman and girl to take courses in combatives, both armed and unarmed. This may seem drastic, but facts are facts, and the danger is real.
Psychology at Work: Developing the "Third Ear" and the Mob Boss - August 31, 2015
In his book Listening with the Third Ear, the psychologist Theodor Reik applies the third ear principle to the process of practicing psychotherapy. He says the proficient psychotherapist must be attuned to the instincts, the third ear, in order to truly understand clients and be sensitive to their needs. In exercising this faculty, we hear what is being said, but another "listening" is taking place as all of the information is coming in through the senses, prompting unconscious responses in the form of associations and spontaneous thoughts and feelings on the part of the therapist.
The Players in Self-Defense - February 2, 2015
No matter what levels of force you need, the players stay the same. It is critical to be able to read the players. The threat dictates the situation. You must understand the problem before you can choose a solution. A charm predator is one thing. A drunk wanting to show off for a girl is an entirely different problem. You must learn to read threats and threat dynamics.
Avoiding Workplace Violence - January 26, 2015
According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, 18,000 people a week are victimized by some sort of workplace violence in the United States. In fact, although industrial accidents abound, homicide is actually the leading cause of death among female workers and the second leading cause of death for men.
I.M.O.P. Principle—Intent, Means, Opportunity and Preclusion - October 6, 2014
How do you know when it is legal to get physical with an adversary? Learn the I.M.O.P. (Intent, Means, Opportunity, and Preclusion) principle. All four of these criteria must be met before you have a good case for taking action. If one or more of these conditions are absent, you are on shaky legal ground.
Never Hit A Girl…Unless She's Armed - September 29, 2014
Sun Tzu and Miyamoto Musashi made no distinctions regarding gender. To them all adversaries were defined as combatants. In today's world, distinctions of gender are made by friends, family, police, and the courts. The role of combatant is, oftentimes, secondary. While experienced bouncers, bodyguards, law enforcement officers, soldiers, jail guards, and martial artists know that women can be just as dangerous, or possibly even more so than men, (such as instinctively going for the eyes during an attack) the courts don't often see it that way.
Account for Adrenaline - September 1, 2014
When I took a defensive handgun course several years ago, I was taught to train for handling the survival-stress reaction commonly associated with actual combat. To simulate the reaction, we had to do as many pushups as we could as fast as we could for one minute.
The Victim Interview - February 17, 2014
I was parked alongside a major street in downtown Seattle. My hands were full of boxes and the mid-afternoon sun was glaring in my face, making it hard to see despite my polarized glasses, so it took a couple tries to get my key into the lock. I awkwardly dragged the door open, nearly dropping some of my packages, and began shoving my purchases in to the car.
Sport versus Combat - May 27, 2013
It was the first time I'd ever made it to the finals. Win and I'd take home the first place trophy; lose and it'd still be a pretty cool piece of hardware. I'd come in third a couple of times, but the little statues weren't nearly as prestigious as the big ones. And I really, really wanted to earn one of the big ones.
The Ground. The Dirty, Filthy, Dangerous Ground - April 29, 2013
The Raiders fan had biceps that could put Hulk Hogan to shame and a physique that was nothing short of awesome. He stood out in a bar full of average guys, not only because he was ripped, but also because he was the only person cheering for the other team, the only one doing it vociferously anyway.
Karate - A Fighting Art: Use Technology - February 18, 2013
I began training in the martial arts in the summer of 1965. Months earlier, I had broken my lower back in a weightlifting contest and the doctor told me to stop lifting weights and to try something less violent on the body. Therefore, I began karate training.
Lethal Force: Firearms - Part 2 - February 1, 2013
Don't over-romanticize guns. A handgun is a nifty machine that throws a hunk of metal in a straight line. No more, no less. A .45 caliber bullet, unless it hits bone and sends fragments spinning, does just as much damage as driving a blunt 45/100 of an inch-diameter stick into the body.
Lethal Force: Firearms - Part 1 - January 28, 2013
While handguns, shotguns, rifles, and carbines can all be used in self-defense, it can be very challenging to justify anything other than a handgun in court, save for in your home (or some places of business) where castle laws might apply.
Level 6-Lethal Force - November 19, 2012
Gary Fadden was a salesman for firearms manufacturer Heckler & Koch. On February 24, 1984, he and his fiancé were driving their Ford pickup along Route 50 in Virginia. This was before cell phones became ubiquitous and he had no communication device inside his vehicle.
Interlude-On Killing - October 22, 2012
I don't shoot targets. I shoot men. Honestly, I figure I owe them that much. I know that when I kill someone I am doing to their family-their mothers and sisters and brothers—what the assh*le who murdered my sister did to mine. My mother will never recover all her sanity from that. She won't ever stop grieving.
Introduction to Violence: Scale of Force Options - October 8, 2012
Even if you have never completed a woodworking project, you probably know that you could pound nails with a drill. You also know that it's not a horribly effective method of doing it. And it is really tough on the drill.
Interacting with Law Enforcement Personnel - May 21, 2012
The person in custody must, prior to interrogation, be clearly informed that he has the right to remain silent, and that anything he says will be used against him in court; he must be clearly informed that he has the right to consult with a attorney and to have that attorney present during interrogation, and that, if he is indigent, an attorney will be provided at no cost to represent him.
Four Chokes and Cranks for Street Use - February 27, 2012
The type of chokes and cranks discussed here are designed for the street. Several of them have been banned from judo competition because they are too dangerous for sport.
Gangs: A Bigger Problem Than You Think - November 14, 2011
Partygoers got nervous as they noticed groups of young men "mugging" each other at the car show in Kent, Wash., a suburban town just south of Seattle. They weren't stealing anything, that's not what mugging means
Saving Yourself in a Crowd - August 30, 2011
Mobs are dangerous. Highly emotional and impulsive, they often erupt violently. Crowds can turn into mobs if members become indifferent to laws, choose to disregard authority, or take advantage of the perceived anonymity that a large group can provide, and follow instigators into violent acts.
A Plethora of Weapons for Self-Defense - June 27, 2011
There are a plethora of deadly objects out there that you may encounter on the street. Knowing how they work can give you a leg up on protecting yourself from harm. Major categories include hand weapons, knives, swords, mass weapons, pole arms, multi-element weapons, projectiles, and unusual weapons.

IE <javascript> tag problem
Today one of my colleague Muhammad Fareed Uddin sent an email in which he described the problem related to <javascript> tag. I don't want to take credit from him so below is email I received from him:
I've found a bizarre behavior of html script tag (that is used to include javascript files), which I would like to share with you guys.
Sometimes, closing the tag like this <script type="text/javascript" src="User.aspx.js"/> (with "/>") can cause some rendering problems. By that I mean, some controls may not be properly displayed or not displayed at all. (I recently faced this issue). To remedy the situation, I closed it like this : <script type="text/javascript" src="User.aspx.js"></script>, and it worked! Interestingly, IDE won't warn you over this.
So if you're caught into some weird rendering problem, may be it is because of the above stated reason.
Something I found that it is not bug in IE instead in an ambiguity in DTD, but question is that why only with IE?
For further information you can use following links:

The Red Sox inked Cuban outfielder Rusney Castillo to a seven-year, $72.5 million contract back in August 2014. Over parts of three seasons, the 29-year-old has a .679 OPS across 337 plate appearances in the majors and spent the vast majority of the 2016 season at Triple-A Pawtucket.
Castillo had a chance to start things off on the right foot in 2017, but that ship has already sailed. On Thursday against Northeastern at JetBlue Park, Castillo didn't run out a routine ground ball. He claims he lost track of the outs. Manager John Farrell isn't happy about the situation. Via Evan Drellich of the Boston Herald:
"Disappointing for a couple of reasons," Sox manager John Farrell said. "One, he has lost the number of outs. Still, regardless of another of outs, getting down the line is controllable. And for a player in his situation, every little aspect of the game is important. That's something that was addressed in the moment. He needs to execute the game situation. And for that matter, every player. But that one obviously stood out."
Everyone always makes far too big a deal about running out grounders. It's a real nit to pick when it's February 23 and your team just finished playing an exhibition game that is even more meaningless than the other exhibition games that will be played in the coming month.
That being said, Castillo has to prove himself to merit inclusion on the 25-man roster and that means dotting all his i's and crossing all his t's. Even if he went hitless all spring, Castillo could have at least said he couldn't have done anything else better. But on day one, he already gave his team a reason to count him out.
