It is simple enough to use a self-signed certificate to encrypt traffic to your site with SSL, but if you have a WordPress blog or any site that might see lots of visitors, then a self-signed certificate is not an option: How many average users are going to proceed to your site with a warning from their Web browser about an untrusted connection? This guide will show you start to finish how to get a free SSL certificate from StartSSL, install it on your server, configure apache, and set up WordPress to use https.
All of the information I'm using is from these guides:
If you get stuck, it might help to reference one of these guides. My set up is a CentOS 7 Digital Ocean droplet with apache and WordPress, but a lot of these steps should work for other distributions. Also, keep in mind that the free certificate offered by StartSSL is for non-commercial use only.
Open up Chrome and head to startssl.com. Click on "Express Signup," fill out the forms and hit continue. Check your email for the verification code. Click the link in the e-mail and you will be asked to generate a private key. Choose "High" for the grade. Once it's done, click "Install" and Chrome will present you with a pop-up that says it has been successfully installed.
This is not your SSL certificate, it's just a key that you will use to log in to the StartSSL Web site. Click on "Control Panel" and then "Authenticate." Chrome will give you a pop-up to authenticate with the site.
Once you're in the Control Panel, click on the Validations Wizard tab and select "Domain Name Validation" from the drop-down menu. Choose whichever e-mail you have access to (like email@example.com).
If you're using Google Apps for your e-mail provider, you can just create a group called webmaster and give it public access permissions to post to the group. Add yourself to the group and you will get any messages sent to email@example.com. This is any easy way to get extra addresses forwarding to your main Google Apps account without creating another user.
Check that whatever account you're using for the validation e-mail and paste in the code.
In the Control Panel, click on the "Certificates Wizard" tab. Select "Web Server SSL/TLS Certificate" from the drop-down menu. Hit continue and enter a strong password. You'll get a text box that contains your key. Copy its contents into your text editor of choice and save the file as
Hit continue and select your recently verified domain. Choose a sub-domain on the next screen. You probably want to pick 'www', but it's up to you. Hit continue and you'll get another text box, this time containing your certificate. Copy it to your text editor and save it as
Click on "Toolbox," and download the StartCom Root CA and the StartSSL's Class 1 Intermediate Server CA. Just right-click on the links with those names and hit save as.
Now we need to unencrypt your your private key so that your sever can use it. Do so with:
openssl rsa -in ssl.key -out private.key
You should now have 5 files:
ca.pem private.key sub.class1.server.ca.pem ssl.crt ssl.key
Note: the
private.key file is the unencrypted version of your private key. Make certain that no one has access to it and that you delete it from your local machine once you upload it to the server. It isn't necessary to upload the ssl.key file to your server. Let's upload the ones we do need though, using scp:
scp -p 2222 {ca.pem,private.key,sub.class1.server.ca.pem,ssl.crt} email@example.com:/home/user/
In this example, the ssh listening port is 2222, change it to whatever your port is. You can also specify a different destination directory by changing /home/user to whatever you want.
SSH into your server and let's get it set up.
$ sudo yum install -y mod_ssl $ sudo mkdir /etc/httpd/ssl $ sudo mv {ca.pem,private.key,sub.class1.server.ca.pem,ssl.crt} /etc/httpd/ssl $ sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf
The first command will install the ssl module for apache, the second creates a directory for your certificate to live in. The third command will move all of your certificate files to your newly created ssl directory. The last will open up the ssl configuration file for apache. Look for this line:
<VirtualHost _default_:443>
Uncomment (delete the # at the beginning of the line) the
DocumentRoot and
ServerName lines and change
example.com:443 to whatever your domain is. It is important that this match what you entered when you created the certificate.
Uncomment these lines as well and change the location of the files to match what's shown here:
SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/ssl.crt SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/private.key SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/apache2/ssl/sub.class1.server.ca.pem
Once you're done, save and close the
ssl.conf file and open up your site's configuration file:
$ sudo vim /etc/httpd/sites-enabled/yoursitesname.com.conf
And add these lines before the closing
RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}
This will force https for the whole site, so that even if users don't type out https:// before your address, they will still be protected.
Restart the apache server:
$ sudo systemctl restart httpd
Test that it works by going to https://yourdomain.com. You should see a little lock in the address bar. If you get an Untrusted Connection error, then you probably forgot to change the location of the certificate files from the defaults in the
ssl.conf file. If you get a lock symbol, but with a triangular alert symbol, then you've got yourself a mixed content warning. No big deal, we'll fix that in the next step.
Log in to your WordPress admin portal and click on "Settings," and change the "WordPress Address (URL)" from http://yourdomain.com to https://yourdomain.com. Make the same change to the "Site Address (URL)" field as well.
If you've got the Mixed Content warning, then you've got some work to do. This warning basically means that your Web browser has detected some content on the page that is being fetched with plain old http, meaning it's not encrypted and secure. This could mean anything, but images you've added to posts is a great place to start. Take a look at one of your posts with images and view it in text mode. Scroll down to where your image is and check the html, if it looks like this:
<img src="http://yourdomain.com/cat.jpg" ... then that's probably the problem.
There are a number of ways to fix this. If you have a new site, then you can just click through your posts and add an 's' after http to all of your image tags. If you have hundreds or more images, this could get tedious. This guide: Moving to HTTPS on WordPress has some SQL kung fu that might be able to automate the process for you.
<iframe> or
<link> tags could also be causing the problem if they are calling http. This stackoverflow post has some more info as well.
Keep an eye out for mixed content warnings on other pages, but otherwise you should be done!
Transmission has been my favorite torrent client for years now and one of my favorite features is the excellent Web interface, which let's you control your torrenting over the web, allowing you to add, pause, etc. torrents when you're away from whatever rig you have set up for that purpose.
The only problem with its Web interface, is that it just uses unencrypted http. You can password protect the interface, but you're password is still sent via cleartext … meaning anyone that's listening in on your connection can see your password or any other data being exchanged between transmission and wherever you're accessing it from. Let's fix that!
Note: This guide applies to Arch Linux, but should work for most other distributions, especially if they use systemd.
Transmission is available in the official Arch repositories, but there are several packages to choose from:
transmission-gtk, and
transmission-qt. If this installation will be for a desktop machine, you may want to install the gtk or qt versions, but for our purposes, we're going to go with
transmission-cli and
transmission-remote-cli. The first one,
transmission-cli, will give us the transmission daemon and the web interface.
transmission-remote-cli will let us access transmission through a curses based interface that you may find useful. Install them with:
$ sudo pacman -S transmission-cli transmission-remote-cli
Now that we've got them installed, we need to configure the daemon to set up the Web interface. You'll need to start the transmission daemon or GUI version at least once to create an initial configuration file. Do so with:
$ sudo systemctl start transmission
Depending on which user you run transmission as, there's a different location for the config file. If you're running transmission as the user
transmission (which is the default), then your config will be located at
/var/lib/transmission/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json. If you've set it to run as your user, then the config folder will be located at
~/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json. If you're using the
gtk or
qt version of transmission, then your config files are located at
Open it up in your editor of choice and look for these lines:
(Note: they do no appear in this order, I just pasted in only the lines that are relevant. You can read more about what each line does here.)
"download-dir": "/home/user/Torrents", #Set this to wherever you want your torrents to be downloaded to. "peer-port": 51413, #This is the port that transmission will use to actually send data using the bittorrent protocol. "rpc-enabled": true, #This enables the Web interface. Set it to true. "rpc-password": "your_password", #Choose a good password. "rpc-port": 9091, #Change the port if you want, or just make note of the default 9091.
After editing the config file, restart transmission so the changes will take effect with:
$ sudo systemctl restart transmission
Test that the Web interface is working by going to
http://your.ip.address:9091/transmission/web/ … note that the trailing / after web is required, omitting it will prevent the interface from loading.
Now that the transmission daemon is started, you can access it via the command line with
transmission-remote-cli. It is a perfectly functional way to control transmission, and assuming you have SSH set up securely, then it's safe and encrypted. I like to have it installed in case I mess up my nginx set up somehow, but still need to access the transmission daemon remotely.
nginx is an http server, like apache, that can be used to serve up Web pages, or in this case, do a reverse proxy.
First, install it with:
$ sudo pacman -S nginx
Now we need to set up an ssl certificate:
$ cd /etc/nginx $ sudo openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout /etc/nginx/cert.key -out /etc/nginx/cert.crt
You will be prompted to enter some info. Keep in mind that his will be visible to anyone. The
-days 365 will set how long the certificate will be valid. Change this if you like. This command will create two files: cert.key and cert.crt, which we will later reference in our
Let's get nginx set up. Open
/etc/nginx.conf and add the following line:
include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
In some distributions, it might be there by defuault, but it's not in Arch. Now we need to add a .conf file for our ssl reverse proxy:
$ cd /etc/nginx $ sudo mkdir conf.d $ sudo nano conf.d/transmission.conf
Paste in the following:
server { listen 80; return 301 https://$host$request_uri; } server { listen 443; server_name yourdomain.com; ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/cert.crt; ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/cert.key; ssl on; ssl_session_cache builtin:1000 shared:SSL:10m; ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2; ssl_ciphers HIGH:!aNULL:!eNULL:!EXPORT:!CAMELLIA:!DES:!MD5:!PSK:!RC4; ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on; location / { proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme; # Fix the "It appears that your reverse proxy set up is broken" error. proxy_pass http://localhost:9091/; proxy_read_timeout 90; proxy_redirect http://localhost:9091/ https://yourdomain.com; } }
That might seem complicated, but there are actually only a few things you'll need to modify. Change
server_name yourdomain.com to whatever your domain is. You could also use an IP address here if you have a static IP. The
ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/cert.crt; points to where your certificate is, if you named it something else in the earlier step, then edit this line and the next one. If you changed the port that transmission listens on for the Web interface, then be sure to change this line:
proxy_pass http://localhost:9091/; to reflect it. Finally, put your domain and port on this line:
proxy_redirect http://localhost:9091/ https://yourdomain.com;. Save the file and restart the nginx server:
$ sudo systemctl restart nginx
You should now be able to access the transmission Web interface by going to https://yourdomain.com/transmission/web/. If your browser gives you a warning about an untrusted connection, then you know it works. Add an exception and continue. Your browser gives you that warning because the certificate isn't signed by a third, trusted party. Don't worry though, the connection is just as encrypted which is all we're going for here anyway.
That's it, you're done! From here you could add reverse proxies to other local services, like kodi's web interface.
Also, now that you're accessing transmission trough https (port 443), you can close the transmission port (9091) in your firewall to further lock down your system. Be sure to keep ports 80 and 443 open though.

The XCritic Review Team is back with yet another round of adult films that earned a Highly Recommended rating. We watch hundreds of adult movies a month here, maybe more. Not many of them are "above average" which is what this recommendation means. It means we have no qualms saying it is an easy choice to own rather than watch once. It has replay value and stands above the majority of titles released each week. This time, we have chosen 3 that earned that title.
Visit the XCritic Review Database for more titles that we recommend and to be alerted to those to avoid.

This is just an extension of the previous post where we were sending different types of datatypes and observing their behavior. Here we will consider byte arrays. Byte arrays store the characters in ascii format. So we will see how to print the true characters from a byte array containing the ascii characters because the data we will get from processing will be in bytes and visualizing them in ascii code would make no sense.
Arduino code —
void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); } void loop() { byte bt[3] = ""; bt[0] = 48; bt[1] = 43; bt[2] = 50; Serial.print(bt[0]); Serial.print(" "); Serial.print(bt[1]); Serial.print(" "); Serial.print(bt[2]); int i = int(bt[2]); char ch = char(bt[0]); char c = char(bt[2]); Serial.print(" "); Serial.print(ch); Serial.print(" "); Serial.print(i); Serial.print(" "); Serial.println(c); }
Note that converting byte to integer does not give the true integer. Converting it to a character gives the true integer or character.
Now we send a byte packet from Processing containing some information that will be used by Arduino for doing something. The first task will be very simple , just to check if we are on the right track or not. After that in the next post we will transmit the processed information from one node to another.
Processing sends some numbers as bytes that is received by the Arduino which checks only the first byte and if it matches the data that we are sending then it glows an led on pin 13. As soon as you stop the processing sketch the led stops glowing.
Processing code —
import processing.serial.*; String s1 = "+"; String s2 = "-"; String s3 = "1023"; String s4 = "1003"; Serial myport; void setup() { import processing.serial.*; String s1 = "+"; String s2 = "-"; String s3 = "1023"; String s4 = "1003"; Serial myport; void setup() { size(400, 400); String portname = "COM14"; myport = new Serial(this, portname, 9600); } void draw() { String send = s1+s3+s2+s4+"\n"; byte[] bt = new byte[15]; for (int i = 0; i < send.length (); i++) { bt[i] = byte(send.charAt(i)); myport.write(bt[i]); println(bt[i]); } }
Arduino code —
void setup() { pinMode(13, OUTPUT); digitalWrite(13, LOW); Serial.begin(9600); // put your setup code here, to run once: } void loop() { byte msg[15] = ""; Serial.readBytesUntil('\n', msg, 15); if (char(msg[1]) == '1') { digitalWrite(13, HIGH); } else { digitalWrite(13, LOW); } // put your main code here, to run repeatedly: }
Since every thing works fine in the next post we will send strings from processing to arduino and do something from the received data.

Unlike many of the islands on Miami Beach, the island of Key Biscayne is a product of nature, with long miles of beachfront. Aesthetics aside, its true appeal lies in its popularity with families who appreciate the number of beachfront recreational areas like Crandon Park (ranked among the nation's top beaches) and Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Recreation area, both with beautiful beaches and lots of amenities. The island also is home to the Crandon Golf Course and the tennis at Crandon Park, where the grand slam Sony Ericsson Open Tennis Tournament is played. With so much located right on the island, Key Biscayne provides a safe and essentially all-inclusive living experience coupled with top-notch real estate.
Key Biscayne real estate is a mix of single family homes as well as condos and gated communities. Among the most in-demand condos in Key Biscayne is the quintet of properties known as The Ocean Club and The Grand Bay Residences. Thus, whether you're seeking an island home by the waterfront or a condo unit with lots of features, you'll find it in Key Biscayne.
With a fine mix of restaurant and shops, from spas and salons to grocery and gourmet markets, from boutiques and furniture/design to sporting goods and pharmacies, one can find everything on the all inclusive Village of Key Biscayne.
When you do venture off the island, there is a variety of choices for every activity. Downtown Miami is a neighbor to Key Biscayne and it's where many of Miami-Dade County's largest attractions and entertainment venues are such as the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, the American Airlines Arena, and the Miami Art Museum. The Bayside Marketplace has been around for a number of years and its open-air shopping and dining never gets old. Plus, the newest area shopping venue, Mary Brickell Village offers a range of shops and restaurants.

Right after spring break our Pirates played their first conference games at home, on Monday and Thursday night. On Monday the Boys played Hugo Soccer Team while our Lady played Keys High School. On Thursday night our Pirates played Atoka High School.
On Monday the Boys won 11-1 against Hugo. For the entire game Poteau had control of the game, scoring seven goals in the first half (Brandon Moore, senior, #3; Kyson Hardaway, senior, #9; Garrett Clark, senior, #27; Pedro Reyes, junior, #16; Chris Gutierrez, #6; Seth Baldwin, Senior, #19; and Jeremy San Juan, sophomore, #25).
At the beginning of the second half Hugo managed to score a goal, but our Pirates scored again four times with goals from Pedro Reyes, junior, #16; Yair Camargo, sophomore, #17; Alex Amezquita, sophomore, #2; and Bryce Palmer, senior, #1.
The Girls final score was 0-1 for Keys. However, Poteau dominated the game and controlled possession, shooting the ball multiple times. Keys scored at the end of the first half on a penalty kick.
On Thursday night Poteau played Atoka. Our girls once again dominated the game with a final score of 3-1 for us. In the first half Brenda Lopez, junior, #17 scored after ten minutes followed by Alex Casper, sophomore, #15. Atoka found the goal in the first half.
During the second half Brenda Lopez scored against at five minutes to the end.
The boys final score was 4-0. At the end of the first half our Pirates scored four times with goals from Pedro Reyes, junior, #16 followed right after from senior Brandon Moore #3, Miguel Martinez, #7 and Daniel Krehl, junior, #10.
During the second half our boys shot a lot of times but all the shots were all saved by Atoka goalkeeper, and the final score didn't change.
Our lady Pirates won one game and lost four, while in the Wagoner Tournament, that was held on March 14th and 15th, they won one and lost two.
Boys won four games and lost one and also won the Wagoner Tournament.

My daughter is going to veterinary school this August term. My wife and I thought this would be a fabulous entree into the wold of veterinary medicine with her. Earlier this July we had the privilege of participating as pre vet students for two weeks with Safari4u. We were right !!! Safari4u and the team of leaders surpassed our every expectation. James kept us all on track and the team leaders were very knowledgeable and patient. They all kept us hands on at every step of the way. We were so busy everyday that we would have liked to stay an extra week or more to see what other fascinating adventures we could get personally hands on involved with. Dennis and Janet thank you also for the these top group of leaders, all who were great at sharing their passion for veterinary medicine. Thank you also for the bountiful feast every night. Warm Regards Michael Dunn.

Just completed the two week capture program and it lived up to the adventure I was looking for. From the madness of net capture to the precision of dart capture the program surpassed my expectations. Gaining hands on experience with African wildlife and learning many aspects of game capture, reserves and conservation from and insiders view has proven very valuable in giving me a whole new perspective as well helping in my career as a zoo vet tech. I've met students from all over... Canada, Mexico, Denmark, Iceland and of course South Africa and US. We did everything from stargazing on the beach to camping with game drives to night clubs. The staff is outstanding. Special thanks to: Ashely for suggesting this program. Dennis and Janet for checking in repeatedly to make sure we were not only ok but happy 🙂 and arranging every possible wish of activities for the small amount of downtime I had (due to my own travel sched). Nico for getting us started days 1.5 at the capture site and for a perfect weekend of game drives and majestic animal interactions. Alex and Lanielle for escorting us through a majority of our program. Truly an unforgettable experience!

I went to the Safari4u Program this past summer for two weeks. It was a great introductory experience to wildlife in South Africa! We did so many things including darting animals with medication, net capturing antelopes, flea dipping a giraffe, and caring for the local people's dogs (and a lot more!). I loved getting to learn about the culture and seeing the beautiful sights the Eastern Cape has to offer. Would definitely recommend for anyone that wants hands on wildlife experience in South Africa!

An extraordinary experience that I had the pleasure of experiencing for a fortnight in September 2016. It is conducted by an excellent group of volunteers who really make it worthwhile. This is a brilliant opportunity to expand your horizons; meet new people; learn about new cultures; create and expand your knowledge of exotic wildlife all within the beauty of South Africa. Would highly recommend to anyone interested in working with wildlife either for veterinary/educational related purposes or as a life experience!

I had an amazing once in a lifetime experience! I was able to learn a lot about the native animals as well as learning about the local culture. Game captures were hard work but very fun and exciting! Learning how to dart animals to dose them with dewormer was great and it was awesome to know that I was helping those animals. My group took a small trip out to Coffee Bay which was beautiful and eye opening. We were able to gain experience working with horses and dogs out in the field with limited resources. As a veterinary student this was a great trip to be able to learn more about African wildlife species but also be able to learn about and work with domestic species. I would recommend this trip to those interested in learning more about African wildlife while gaining a cultural experience! Great trip for those wanting to go to vet school, veterinary students, veterinarians, and those that just enjoy African wildlife!

I spent 2 weeks at the Safari4u programme and I couldn't recommend highly enough! It was amazing. We got to help on game captures, helped dart animals (we were taught how to use the dart gun!) and also helped treat the local animals at Coffee Bay, which was an amazing experience. The people were all lovely and welcoming. It was very relaxed and there is also a great number of activities you can do in your spare time 🙂 I did it as part of my Veterinary Medicine course which it was perfect for and I cant wait to go back!

Safari4U was hands down the best experience I've had to date. Not only did I learn a tremendous amount about veterinary medicine and get to further my knowledge and skills by practicing hands-on with animals that range from dogs to pigs to antelopes to giraffes, I met life-long friends and felt part of a family. Dennis, who runs the program, never failed to ensure that volunteers felt at home and were having fun. Chintsa is the perfect location and is home to a beautiful beach as well as some great restaurants/bars. In addition to living in Chintsa, I was fortunate enough to visit Coffee Bay for a few days where I got to help dogs and horses in need of medical attention as well as experience the culture. With the beautiful scenery, the incredible hospitality and food and the local drummers who play by the fire at night, you'll never want to leave. I went on this trip simply expecting to gain some veterinary experience but it was so much more than that and helped me grow as a person. I will definitely be back.

Safari4u is an incredible opportunity to get hands-on experience with small animals, farm animals, and wildlife, in a setting you won't find elsewhere! You are constantly learning new things from locals and the vets and getting to interact with all kinds of different animals. Plus the area is absolutely beautiful to study in. The program is great for those studying veterinary medicine or those planning on studying it and it's one of the best experiences I've had!

Safari 4uVet is amazing. I learned so much during this program, although, I didn't have much animal experience before... hand. You get a lot of hands on work with animals but they definitely don't push you if you don't want to do something. The weekends you can do whatever you want, they also have activities that you can schedule! All and all, I would definitely come back— I had an amazing time and this internship opened me up to a world of different opportunities in vet medicine. Thanks Dennis and Janet for creating such a great program.read more

I participated in the pre-veterinary program in March of 2018. I am entering my first year of veterinary school, and I... absolutely loved it. The pre-veterinary program covered a broad spectrum of species and provided an array of new experiences. During the 4 weeks I was there we worked with livestock, small animals, and wildlife both in and outside of a clinic. All of the staff are very friendly and eager to help you learn. I would love to participate in either this program again or in their veterinary/ game capture programs in the future. I would recommend all of these programs to those who are interested in a career in veterinary medicine or other animal related industries.read more

I did the program in 2015, 2016, and 2017. It has been wonderful to see everything evolve over the years. In 2015 we... were focused on building a mobile clinic; this has now transformed into Wild Coast vet. The clinic truly focuses on helping the animals and working within the means of the community. The clinic offers the student hands on experiences in basic and emergency care on ALL types of animals. The program also offers an extensive livestock program (pig ai, lamb docking, ultrasound testing, cow pregnancy testing, equine care etc). Obviously, the game capture portion is a once in a lifetime experience. Nothing will make you feel more alive than the intensity of a good helicopter capture. But my favorite part was the community outreach in hogsback, Kei mouth or Cathcart. It is a shame some students find monotony in this, but this is the bulk of vet care in real life, so. You truly get to see the beauty of South Africa and it's people. There is a lot to learn if you come with an open heart and mind. Cintsa is truly a place that can heal your soul.read more

definitely reccomend this program! it was one if the most amazing experiences I have ever had. We got to travel around... and see alot of South Africa. not to me tion the house was a 5 minute walk from the beach and the barefoot bar were they have THE BEST FRIES 😂😂 I would reccomend going for longer than 2 weeks to ensure you get the full experience!read more
Susie Nee
What an Amazing experience!! I'm a Registered Veterinary Nurse and found this program was very beneficial and exciting.... You really do make a difference to the Animals as well as educating people on how to give better care to their livestock, Horses and Dogs. I was involved in a Zebra, Giraffe, Lion and game capture. The main aim of darting and capturing these animals is to treat/re-locate them. I'll be back soon �read more

Traveling to Cintsa, South Africa to stay with the Safari4U program was one of the best decisions and most amazing... experiences of my life. I bonded with so many vet/pre-vet students who share my passion for veterinary medicine from all over the world. I had the opportunity to work with not only african wildlife, such as lions, zebras, giraffes, impalas, and much more, but also with large animal/farm livestock, such as cows, goats, sheep, horses, and chickens. In addition, I also worked with small animals in the local clinic, Wild Coast Vets. I had the opportunity to observe my first spay and a neuter of two stray dogs. There are so many more amazing details I could share! I would recommend this program right away to any pre-vet students.read more

As my first international experience, this program really offers its members an inexpensive way to see South Africa.... The house was a 10-minute walk away from the beach, and the program offers transportation to all weekend activities hosted by the local businesses and game reserves (Inkwenkwezi and Areena), as well as some discounts for those activities. On my weekends I participated in giraffe and elephant interactions, a 2.5 hour safari drive where I saw the big 5 game, kayaked down a river to the Indian ocean, a horseback ride on the beach, and an hour long quad bike tour on a game reserve. When it comes to suggesting who should try the Safari4U program, I would not suggest it to those who are looking to gain additional veterinary knowledge. This program is geared more toward pre-veterinary students, or those just considering international travel based on the local animals. Many of the trips involved going to the poor townships with tubs to "dip dogs" which involved washing them in a bath of flea/tick preventative mixed in water. It was a unique experience to see how South African underprivileged areas take care of their animals while adding in a language barrier; most of the local people spoke Xhosa, and few spoke English or Afrikaans. In addition to helping with the dogs, we also visited townships, and larger farms, with cattle, sheep, and pigs. We got a lot of practice dosing and injecting this variety of livestock with de-wormers and vitamins, as well as some practice docking tails and castrating sheep. There is also a small animal clinic that we spent time shadowing veterinarians who liked to quiz students, which was not offered by the one veterinarian that works for the Safari4U program. The program does advertise that it includes wildlife in addition to large and small animals, which was what I was most interested in. Two days out of my two weeks in the program were spent performing game captures. The first day involved darting and transporting 2 male impalas to another game reserve to increase their genetic pool. The second day was spent tranquilizing a male impala that had an abscess the size of a softball on its neck that I was able to lance and the group flushed with disinfectant before reversing it. There are also program trips to the local zoo and reptile house, however those not veterinary based and used more as a time fill for the week. The structure of the program has students from all over the world arriving on Mondays and staying as many weeks as they pay for. Each week the students are divided into smaller groups and sent out to the clinic, for a capture, to the zoo or reptile house, to dip dogs, or on an overnight (or two) to one of 3 places: Kei Mouth, Cathcart, and Hogsback. At Hogsback (a 2 night trip) we spent our time working in townships with their dogs and cattle when not hiking, going abseiling (propelling) down a waterfall, and learning how to make local (Xhosa) bread from scratch within the township. In Cathcart, we spent most of our time going to large scale farms and working with their sheep and cattle (injecting and dosing), as well as the unique opportunity of dissecting a recently deceased horse out in a field. Two weeks, in my opinion, was an appropriate amount of time for the program, since I didn't benefit knowledge-wise from Safari4U. I spent more of my time in the program teaching pre-vet students from the U.S. what I learned in undergraduate, clinical experience, and during my first year at U of I Vet Med rather than just standing around. I tried to have students perform a quick head to tail exam on the tamer dogs that we dipped, and understand the basic anatomy and physiology of cows. The staff was quite underqualified to host such a program, and would only contribute to your knowledge if you asked questions or stepped up and asked to become more involved. The other problem I came across was the lack of activities after dinner (all meals provided). There was only a TV with movies offered, so most (including the staff) went to the two local bars just about every night, getting quite carried away. Overall, the 2 weeks were quite relaxed and had more of a vacation feel than that of a veterinary program. I met some great people from all over the world, and became inquisitive about the differences in their veterinary backgrounds, education, and knowledge. I did fall for South Africa's culture and charm, but I would like to find a program more geared to veterinary medicine and the local wildlife if I chose to come back.read more

The program seemed a little misleading from the very start. Upon arrival, there was a short introduction, but not with... the whole staff or other volunteers. I didn't even know some people were staff until I went into my second week. The staff are very fun and kind, but this program lacks a tremendous amount of education as well as organization. They are extremely understaffed with one vet working with the program, and one vet nurse. I was under the impression going into the trip that there would be ample veterinary experience throughout the week, but throughout my entire 4 weeks, I, as well as many other volunteers, received very minimal vet experience (with a vet). Additionally, the program takes three trips throughout the week: Kei Mouth, Hogsback, and Cathcart. During these trips, you are often times dipping dogs or working with livestock without any qualified staff and this can make up a significant portion of the week. There are also trips to the zoo, which felt more like a fourth grade field trip than anything else. The local clinic was very interesting as the staff there really try to get the students involved by asking questions and making an effort to teach students. Going into this program, I assumed there was a structured educational component. I knew the program would have to be flexible as you can't predict what needs to be done, but regardless of what needed to be accomplished, most of the time you had to ask the questions, or you would be clueless. This program is definitely for individuals with little to no experience in the field. Of the vet students I knew during my time in Chinsta, most were disappointed with their experience. If you're looking to learn a little bit, and have some fun drinking as well as going on weekend trips (game drives, giraffe interactions, etc.), this is the program for you. Overall, I met some really awesome people along the way and made the best out of my time in beautiful South Africa.read more

I had an amazing time while in South Africa working with the Safari4u Vet. Program! I was nervous while making my... flights because I had no idea what to expect when I got there, but once there it blew every expectation away. This program allows students to be hands on with all types of animals from dogs to who knows what. While there during my three week stay, I got to help with two griaffe captures, a white lion from a local safari, and some rhino! Even though my trip was two years ago, I have meet some great people, which I still remember names, and would love to meet up with them again soon. In other words, this trip is a 10/10 would recommend especially if you even have the slightest interest in going! I know that I would love to be able to go back, but this time stay much longer than a messily three weeks so that I am able to experience a whole lot more!!!!read more

Safari4u gives you the opportunity to learn hands on about the veterinary field and is a huge talking point on veterinary school applications and interviews. I have participated in many game captures of giraffe and several antelope speices. We also learned to pregnancy test cows and goats, fertility test cows, tail dock lambs, and give injections to cows, sheep, goats, horses, and dogs. Dennis is very helpful and makes you feel like home at his house. Kim is the best, we love her! I have made many friends through the program and with the locals and hope to be back soon!read more

WARRIORS will face Zambia's Chipolopolo in their first match of the four-nation tournament set for Ndola, Zambia, next week.
The Sunday Chidzambga-coached side have been invited to the tournament, which also includes South Africa and Angola.
According to media reports from Lusaka, the Warriors, current Cosafa region champions, will face Chipolopolo in their opening match at the Levy Mwanawasa Stadium in Ndola on March 22.
Winner of that encounter will face the victor of the match between South Africa and Angola in the final on March 25.
Zifa yesterday said the squad for the tournament will be announced today, with a host of foreign-based players set to be invited.
Czech Republic based defender Costa Nhamoinesu is expected to make his return to the squad after missing the Afcon group G opening qualifier against Liberia and two friendly matches last year.
His club, through a statement on their official website, confirmed last week that the dreadlocked defender has been invited by Zifa for the tournament.
Midfielder, Gerald Takwara has also been called, with his South African club, Ajax Cape Town also last week confirming that they had received a letter of request from the football governing body.
Players are expected to start arriving in the country for a short camp at the weekend.
Sources told NewsDaySport yesterday that Chidzambga has kept the core of the team that played in the last two friendly matches against Lesotho and Namibia in November last year.
However, skipper Knowledge Musona and Kuda Mahachi are set to miss the tournament due to injuries.
Other players who the coach had reportedly requested but are likely unable to report for camp are the British-based quartet of Tendayi Darikwa, Kundai Benyu, Admiral Muskwe and Macauley Bonne.
The four, who featured for the Warriors for the first time in the team's last friendlies matches, were all born and raised in the United Kingdom, but qualify to play for Zimbabwe through parentage.
"Remember they hold British passports and while they came and played in the friendly matches, they can't use those passports in official matches. They are still waiting for the government to issue them with Zimbabwe passports. Former Sports minister Makhosini Hlongwane was personally facilitating the process, but since he left, the process has stalled. The new minister (Kazembe Kazembe) is doing little to help in that regard," a source said.
Sources said Farai Munetsi and Butholezwe Ncube of Orlando Pirates and Amazulu, respectively, have received their first national team call ups, having impressed for their South African teams.
Liberty Chakoroma, Jimmy Dzingai, Peter Muduhwa, Devine Lunga, goalkeeper Takabva Mawaya and Praise Tonha are the only locals in the team.
Zimbabwe are using the two matches to prepare for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier match away to Congo in September.
The Warriors lead Group G with three points, following their 3-0 win over Liberia early this year. The group also has DR Congo, who also have three points, and with two top teams from the group qualifying for the finals to be held in Cameroon in 2019, Zimbabwe will be fancying their chances.
Hosts Zambia announced their squad on Saturday while South Africa announce theirs this morning.

Schools, colleges and academies in Stoke-on-Trent face changes to their budgets, as government funding will affect them in the forthcoming year.
Additional money has been added, or taken away from schools as a new national funding formula has been introduced by the government.
However, teaching unions have released figures showing Staffordshire schools have experienced a tightening grip on their budgets and have lost 331 teachers and 69 teaching assistants over a two-year period.
Statistics show that although there is a squeeze on budgets, there will be an additional £6.5m made available to schools in Stoke.
Although, 13 schools will receive less funding and further cuts as the 2018/19 years budget takes effect.
The school worst affected in Stoke-on-Trent is Trentham Academy, with a difference of £121,431 between budgets in 2017/18 to 2018/19, despite a rise in the number of pupils.
Stoke Studio College, Gladstone Primary School and Ash Green Primary School are among the top four with a cut to their budget.
However, it's not all bad news as the Discovery Academy, in Burslem, will receive an additional £574,459 to their budget throughout the year.
Sarah Robinson, Chief Executive of Alpha Academies Trust, who oversees the Discovery Academy as one of their four colleges and academies, said: "This increase, however, reflects an increase of 61 pupils as the Discovery Academy is now oversubscribed.
"It does not cover the rising costs to the Trust of running schools when taking into account inflation, staff pay increases, the apprenticeship levy and increased pension and national insurance costs.
"There are further financial pressures in providing high levels of support to children and their families especially for schools with high percentages of pupil premium."

How has the Role of Horses Changed in Human Societies?

==Early Horse Domestication==
Most studies suggest that domestication of the horse took place along the Eurasian steppe. However, it is not clear where exactly and most likely there were several independent domestication attempts. Interestingly, wild horses before domestication show a wide range of interspecies variation; however, it is believe that only one type of species became domesticated.<ref> For more information regarding the debate of horse domestication, see: Olsen, Sandra. 2006. "Early domestication on the Eurasian Steppe," In: ''Documenting Domestication: New Genetic and Archaeological Paradigms'', Melinda Zeder (Ed.). Berkeley, Calif: University of California Press, pg. 245-269.</ref> Most likely, the horse was domesticated by 4000-3500 BC. All domesticate horses are classified as Equus ferus caballus, with Equius ferus as being the species that domesticated horses derive from.<ref>For more information on the species of horses, including how a single species became domesticated, and their genetics, see: Weinstock, Jaco, Eske Willerslev, Andrei Sher, Wenfei Tong, Simon Y.W Ho, Dan Rubenstein, John Storer, et al. 2005. "Evolution, Systematics, and Phylogeography of Pleistocene Horses in the New World: A Molecular Perspective." Edited by David Hillis. ''PLoS Biology 3'' (8): e241. dos:10.1371/journal.pbio.0030241.</ref> Initial domestication may have been done as a means to develop horses as traction animals, or use in agriculture and plowing, and also for riding.<ref>For more information for the early domestication of the horse, see: Mills, D. S., and Sue M. McDonnell, eds. 2005. ''The Domestic Horse: The Origins, Developments, and Management of Its Behavior''. Cambridge, UK ; New York: Cambridge University Press, pg. 7.</ref> Probably at around the 3rd millennium BC, the horse began to spread across Eurasia and into China, Europe, and India. This could have been associated with the migration of Indo-European and Eurasian groups that were likely migrating across Asia during this time. These populations may have introduced horses, therefore, to new regions such as the Near East, India, and China.
During the 3rd millennium BC, the utility of the horse for warfare is apparent and the association of horses for high status individuals is likely, as warriors of high standing were now sometimes buried along with their own horses. Horse skulls were also sometimes separated and buried separately, suggesting a type of cult around horses may have also developed.<ref>For more information on burial of horses and cults around horses, see: Drews, Robert. 2004. ''Early Riders: The Beginnings of Mounted Warfare in Asia and Europe''. New York: Routledge.</ref> By the end of the 3rd millennium BC, the horse is referred to in ancient textual sources from the Near East.<ref>For information on some of the earliest historical references to horses, see: Postgate, JN. 1986. "The Equids of Sumer, Again," In: ''Equids in the Ancient World'', Meadow RH, Ueopmann H-P (Eds.). Dr. Ludwig Reichert Verlag: Weisbaden, pg. 194-206.</ref>

Learn how I shot and edited my popular 'Infinite' image as I show you how I processed this image using Adobe Camera Raw (Same Tools as Lightroom) and Photoshop in this HD Photoshop Video Tutorial.
Almost immediately, my image 'Facing the Infinite' went viral on Instagram. I can't tell you how glad I was about that because this image was a total nightmare to shoot. Luckily it was a breeze to process and I've recorded a 'Start to Finish' video showing you exactly how I processed 'Facing the Infinite' so that you can use similar techniques on your own images.
Unlike most of my images, I didn't bracket this shot. I captured this image in just one exposure because the shooting conditions were so challenging with high winds and freezing cold temperatures. This section of Abraham Lake can be rather unforgiving in January so I had to get my camera settings dialed in quick, capture the shot and get out of there.
In this HD 1080p Photoshop video tutorial I take you through the entire image editing process, from opening the untouched RAW files to saving them for the web, ready to upload to Instagram.
What's Covered in this Photoshop Video Tutorial:
- Adobe Camera RAW (Same as Lightroom) Essential Edits
- Basic Sharpening
- Noise Reduction
- Exposure Blending from one RAW file
- Selective Application of the 'Dodge' tool
- Cropping for Instagram
- Saving for Web
Why I Love This Shot
This was one of those shots that was almost impossible to shoot. I was laying on the ice in the dead of night under extremely high winds. To get an idea of just how terrible the conditions were take a look at this quick video clip I shot while scoping out the scene in the daytime.
I shot a few test exposures and noticed that the star trails were all squiggly and that the image was blurred. I figured if I got my tripod really low to the ground I'd avoid most of the wind but it dawned on me that the ice itself was vibrating so it really didn't matter how stable my tripod was.
In a brainwave of sheer desperation, I remembered that my camera had 5 axis stabilization on the sensor so I turned that on and set it to my focal length of 18mm because I was shooting with the Ziess Batis prime lens which is awesome for astrophotography.
To be honest I didn't really think it would work, especially with a 30″ exposure. When I checked the playback and zoomed in on the stars I was blown away. The sensor stabilization on the Sony A7RII had totally saved this shot. Without it there would have been no shot, just cold bums.
Learn exactly how I processed this image and use the same tricks to make your nightscapes POP! Order my 'Infinite' Photoshop Video Tutorial today and download the video immediately after ordering.

"There are issues and there are 'real issues'" said Carletta Waddler, Vice President of Talent Curve Solutions, during the Chamber's Education Series event on Tuesday, February 14th. The sold-out event featured a presentation on "Conflict in the Workplace," which concentrated on the challenges that face today's intergenerational workplace. Each generation, from traditionalist to millennial, has conflicts and handles them in different ways.
"Our perception is our lens and our communication can lead to conflict," said Waddler. The most effective way to deal with a conflict is to find the root of the issue and during her presentation Waddler identified a few key focus areas to improve on when handling conflict:
After her presentation there was a spirited questions and answer session that facilitated discussion that continued even after the workshop ended.
Jody Kuehn, Manager with Southern Bank said the workshop was "simple, yet very needed and can be a great benefit to those who implement the information delivered"
The Chamber Education Series will continue with "Technology in the workplace" by Dr. Pete Baker, of Old Dominion University on Tuesday, March 18 at Old Dominion University Higher Education Center.

I've done it again. Nipped a potential friendship in the bud by failing to recognize said potential friends in public. They live on my street, and I had talked with them several times in their yard as I walked my dog. Then in a restaurant the other day, I failed to recognize them until well into the meal when I heard her voice and it clicked. But it was too late. I'm pretty sure they think I intentionally snubbed them.
I have often wondered if I have a neurological defect of some kind because this was not a random happening. Once I failed to recognize my dentist when we met in Walmart. I did think he looked vaguely familiar, but, like Mary outside the tomb, it was only when he spoke my name that I recognized him. I wondered if this condition has a name, so I looked it up. It does. It's called prosopagnosia, or face blindness, a rare, little-known disorder that is hard to recognize. It doesn't show up on tests.
New research by [Thomas] Grüter and his wife, both medical doctors, suggested 2.5 percent of the general population in Germany have the disorder.
"So it's millions of people suffering from that, but it wasn't known," Grüter said, adding that he thinks it's reasonable the same would hold across Europe" (Bryner, Jeanna. Live Science. 29 April.2010).
Obviously, it holds true for at least one person here in Holly Springs, Miss., USA. I wonder how many others suffer from this affliction. If you have ever experienced anything like this and wouldn't mind letting me interview you, please contact me at 662-306-0787. I'm doing a research project with intention to publish it.

For over five months, we have not been able to submit any reports. This is due to Internet shot down in the Anglophone Regions of Cameroon. We deeply apologize for this.
After completing the building hosting our Agricultural Training Centre, the outside walls and the veranda were lacking finishing until recently. The outside walls and the veranda have completed. This has given the building the beauty it deserves. All this is thanks to generous donations from GlobalGiving. One of our neighbours, Mr. Joseph remarked 'I can now appreciate the full beauty of this building'.
After this completion, Green Care Association is hoping for a fruitful year at the Agricultural Training Centre.
Thanks to GlobalGiving donors, the Green Care Team of experts realized one of its great missions of monitoring the extent of land degradation in the Bui Division, Northwest Cameroon. The team which included environmentalist, climate change and justice experts and wildlife experts spent days in the wild going through the least traveled destinations to see for themselves the practical situation on the field at this advent of climate change.
At the end of the trip, the team concluded with regrets the alarming situation at hand and called for immediate action to arrest this environmental trauma. The issues identified during this trip are overgrazing, severe gully erosion, zero live fencing causing serious farmer-grazier conflicts, unimproved pasture, indiscriminate tree felling and bush burning. The team saw for itself on spot evidence of advancing desert. It is for these reasons that Green Care team decided to be spreading invasive plant species like Brakaria which is very nutritive to animals and Acacia which is fast growing tree and at the same time double as fodder for animals. It was more of traumatizing trip as one could hear the team leader John Paul lamented "… I am worried, very worried seeing the situation of our fast degrading environment. As people of the environment we must urgently develop a strategy to arrest the situation…the desert is knocking next door…" Thanks to GlobalGiving funds, the team was able to sponsor the three days trip in the wild and acquire some seeds of Acacia and Brakaria that have the potential to reduce over grazing and erosion. Let join efforts to halt this growing precarious environmental trauma. We remain grateful to global giving donors.
Tree Seed collection intensified
Even though little has been written about the Agricultural Training Centre, Green Care Association (GCA) has continued to function with one of the activities of tree seed collection for the seed bank. This remains an all season activity but it is always difficult to know when seeds are mature for collection. Much exphasis is on Trees species that are near extinct or critically endangered. This exercise has credited GCA as the lead organization around the region with a seed bank and now institutions and individuals visit GCA at any time of the year to get seeds for their private nurseries. The species collected are mostly fruit and trees with medicinal or economic value. It is for these reasons that some community forest and water management schemes keep visiting GCA for seeds and in some cases seek assistance on tree nursery and out planting. Recently one of the staff of Caritas Kumbo Diocese, Mrs. Lucy commented '…GCA has made us so comfortable in the domain of tree seeds by providing each time over the years all that we want at the right time…' As an institution we are also very thankful to Global Giving donors who assisted us to construct the office and obviously space for the seed bank. While making efforts to complete other components of the structure like toilet and verandas we remain very grateful to Global Giving.Thank you so much.
Fail Forward Story
Achieving Success after failures to offer trainings
It is rare to get out of bed on a July morning to the melody of birds in Kumbo town of North West Cameroon because this is the middle of the rainy season. This exceptional weather was indicative that any human outdoor activity could successfully take place without rain. So was Green Care Association (GCA) staff ready for a trip to the remote village of Kov Vifem to train bee farmers. A four wheel truck has been hired with material and equipment for training put in place for the journey. After confirming the check list GCA staff took off for Kov Vifem by 8 am with the intension of arriving its destination by 9 am, good and agreed time for the training to begin. In about 30 minutes' drive, the driver all of a sudden shouted 'waaaaah' to the total surprise of everyone. When we wondered aloud what has happened he simply told the team he has forgotten official documents of the car, a situation which meant we could not continue. So we then returned to collect the documents, and by the time that was done it was already past 9 am. Once we realized the lateness the driver was very guilty and worried as he kept wondering aloud when we shall arrive. The rush was not for long because we took an alternative shorter road leading to the village. We could not drive because the truck got stuck in mud. All efforts to sail through the mud were futile. We soon realized it was more than two hours in mud. At one point we had to abandon the car in the mud to return home. The bee farmers at Kov Vifem were calling our mobile phones every minute to find out reasons for delay. After some time, we had to call and reluctantly tell the farmers our sad story that we were not able to reach because of bad roads. This was a very big shame on our part and an assumption of irresponsibility on the part of Green Care Association.
Having registered this failure we immediately rescheduled a different training to take place in a weeks' time. When all planning was done and we again took off in good time. When we got to Kov Vifem, no farmer villager ready for the training. After waiting for several hours, we decided to Kumbo. We were all dejected for failing the second time. It was on our return trip that a GCA team member suggested that we should give the training to farmers in a different village. We unanimously agreed to take training to Gwarkang, a village in another location. A date for the training was set exactly two weeks after the failed programs at Kov Vifem. This time around we went without hitches. When we arrived Gwarkang, the leader of the bee farmers instructed us to officially pay a short visit to the traditional ruler (Fon). At the Fon's palace, he was very happy and imparted his royal blessings on us. During the training, the Fon also gave us palm wine and delicious lunch. After the training of twenty bee farmers at Gwarkang, one of us was decorated as a notable (Shey) in continuing appreciation of the training. It turned out that the training was the very first of its kind in the village. We donated some modern hives to the farmers after coordinating elections of a committee to promote apiculture. Barely three weeks after the training, the committee leader called GCA to announce that four of the hives we colonized by bees and in two months the colonized hives had increased to seven.
This became our motivation and as if not enough a delegation was again sent from the Fon's palace at Gwarkang to come and appreciate GCA. A complete contrary to the troubles we had had in the former village of Kov Vifem. In a short time the village was transformed positively as villagers could now improve their lives with income from bee farming. One Mr. Lukong who was part of the delegation from the palace brought us two live chickens and palm wine. He happily declared to GCA '…I now understand that bees are there waiting for me to make honey and money and am here lazily waiting and complaining poverty, what a challenge…' Thanks to funds from our donors we were able to change lives so fast and now remain convinced at GCA to keep on pushing on each time we have a disappointment.
With the ever increasing supply and purchases of undrained Honey, Green Care Association (GCA) has been able to gather huge quantities of organic honey and Honey chaffs from remote farmers some of which she previously trained. She is adding value by extracting Honey wax from the Chaffs. This is giving farmers the opportunity to harvest honey and bring to GCA at any given time for payment. The wax is then extracted from the chaff, cleaned and mould into candles and other shapes. Mr Romaric one of those trained in wax extraction happily declared 'am going to make good use of the knowledge and wealth from honey wax extraction'. Green Care Association is thankful to globalgiving funds which is enabling her acquire plenty of Honey and its by products. The funds are improving GCA to become a big supplier of Honey wax for the local and national market. We remain proud of GlobalGiving friends I would be grateful to have some more support..

- RTN lawyers recently completed a settlement of a class action lawsuit that will result in the recovery of
$25 million for clients who had 401(k) retirement plans through Merrill Lynch. The amounts recovered will reimburse the clients for excess sales charges on mutual fund investments purchased from Merrill Lynch and includes a return of profits that Merrill Lynch had made from these sales. Merrill Lynch had previously agreed to pay nearly $80 million to these clients through a settlement with its regulator that was supposed to have returned all excess sales charges paid by the clients. The $25 million recovered by RTN and its co-counsel is in addition to the amounts Merrill Lynch had previously paid.
- RTN attorneys also recovered over
$15 million for state employees who lost retirement benefits by following the advice of a broker-dealer who misled multiple state employees regarding the benefits available to them under the state retirement system. The settlement was negotiated after five cases were tried in FINRA arbitration over a 10-month period.
- Represented one of the world's largest insurance companies as plaintiff in an auditing malpractice case against one of the "big three" accounting firms. The four week trial resulted in a jury verdict and judgment of in excess of
$14 million in favor of our client. The judgment was affirmed on appeal by the United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit, and later satisfied in full. The appellate decision in the case is reported as Travelers Casualty & Surety Co. v. Ernst & Young LLP, 542 F.3d 475 (5th Cir. 2008).
- Represented insurance company as plaintiff in a case against the former officers and directors of a failed ship building company involving multi-million dollar claims for misrepresenting the financial condition of the company. The case was settled for
$8 Million prior to trial.
- Represented 19 different farmers in a products liability claim against a Fortune 10 conglomerate. The lawsuits involving crop damage caused by a fungicide were litigated all over the State of Florida. In one case, the Court entered an order striking the defendant's pleadings. This order led to what the defendant admitted to be the most favorable settlements it ever paid out, a total in excess of
$59 Million
- Represented the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the FDIC) in a negligence action brought in Federal District Court in South Florida against the former directors and officers of a failed South Florida financial institution. The four-week trial yielded a jury verdict for the FDIC in excess of
$18 Million. Prior to trial, obtained in excess of
$4 Million in settlements with other directors. Also represented the FDIC in the ensuing successful appeal. The case, FDIC v. Stahl, 89 F. 3d 1510 (11th Cir. 1996) is the leading case on the interplay between the standard of care to which officers and directors are held and the business judgment rule.
- Represented clients as claimants in several arbitration matters involving accounting malpractice claims that have resulted in over
$7 million collected by clients through arbitration awards and settlements.
- Represented a Peruvian company in a breach of distributorship agreement claim against a large multi-national manufacturer of consumer electronics. A three-week trial yielded a jury verdict in the amount of
$5.35 Million. The case was later settled while on appeal.
- Represented the FDIC in a negligence action against the former officers and directors of a failed financial institution located in South Florida. The claim was settled by the FDIC prior to trial for in excess of
$5 Million.
- Represented the FDIC in many commercial mortgage foreclosure actions including one that involved, in part, a mortgage on allegedly submerged state lands. Case resulted in a settlement of over
$7 Million to the FDIC and a recovery of the full amount of the principal loaned by the failed bank at the depths of the 1990's real estate downturn.

Trying to figure out what I should have the sand rod do and how to implement it in puzzles. it's harder than you might think to convert it from an item in a 3d game where it allows you to walk on elevated sand to a 2D game where you don't have that luxury of height. I thought about having it turn sand into solid blocks but then what?
They become push blocks? I already have a plethora of ideas for push blocks puzzles, including another item that allows you to push them from a distance (push wand).
So, any ideas for a Sand Rod?

The film Blind ascertains the actor representing a blind novelist, paying the ire of the Ruderman Family Foundation, a foremost disability organization
The Ruderman Family Foundation, a leading disability claims radical, has come out against the brand-new movie Blind, starring Alec Baldwin, in which the actor plays a novelist who loses his display in a auto crash.
The organization, which are often advocates for the throw of disabled actors and has conducted many studies documenting the lack of opportunity for disabled performers in film, liberated a statement on Wednesday condemning the movie( directed by Michael Mailer ), which co-stars Demi Moore as the bride of an indicted financier who cares for Baldwins character as part of a plea bargain.
Alec Baldwin in Blind is just the latest example of treating disability as a costume, said Jay Ruderman, the foundations chairperson. We no longer is acceptable for white performers to represent pitch-black personas. Disability as a costume must be free to also grown universally unacceptable.
The private philanthropic radical, which was established in Boston in 2002 and is run by the Ruderman family, has furthermore spoke out against depictions of disabled population in cinemas such as Me Before You, which ends with the assisted suicide of its main character, who is paralyzed.
The upcoming freeing of the movie Me Before You presents a deeply troubling message to our society about people with physical disabilities, Ruderman said in June 2016. To the millions of people with significant disabilities currently preceding fulfilling, rich lives, it posits that they are better off committing suicide.
Last summer, the foundation exhausted the Ruderman White Paper on Employment of Actors With Disabilities in Television, discovering that 95% of disabled reputations on tv are played by able-bodied performers. At the time, Ruderman lambasted the industry for systematically casting able-bodied actors portraying personas with disabilities. Soon after, he and Danny Woodburn, another disabilities activist who drew Mickey Abbott on the sitcom Seinfeld, co-authored an op-ed in the Los Angeles Times shedding light on the cause.
Neither Mailer nor Baldwin has responded to the foundations claims.
