What are the features of Browning's dramatic monologues?

Browning, by giving his narrative characters distinct personalities, and by using irony carefully, succeeds in drawing fully fleshed dramatic characters. His two most often anthologized dramatic monologues are "My Last Duchess" a monologue of a self-centered, cruel Duke, and "Fra Lippo Lippi," a full-length portrait of the historical Renaissance painter of that name. In "My Last Duchess," the device is pure irony – we, the readers, go along with an ambassador as he is given a tour of the Duke's dwelling, and see through the Duke right along with the ambassador. In Fra Lippo Lippi, Browning writes a whole playlet, in which Fra Lippo Lippi in a prostitute neighborhood is caught after curfew by night watchmen. By name-dropping ("lodging with a friend…Cosimo of the Medici,") by threats of reprisal, by flauting his monkhood, and by promising a painting for the church, he avoids arrest. In the process, Browning, who identifies personally with this period of aesthetic unrest (1406-69) and change, manages to demonstrate not only the monk's personality but also describe his artistic style and contribution. In unrhymed but very rhythmic lines, using much exclamation and conversational tone, Browning give us a rich, lively visit to early Renaissance Italy. The predominant device is conversational monologue with an antagonist, revealing a three-dimensional mise-en-scene.

Travel Thailand Bangkok Phuket Koh Samui Thailand
Travel to Thailand Travel Tips Suggestions
Thailand heavily promotes its tourist industry and is an increasingly popular destination for travellers. It is one of the more accessible Asian countries, culturally speaking, and is geared up for tourism. Thailand's open, friendly culture and variety of attractions makes it a good place for all types of travellers, from those who are backpacking for the first time, experienced travellers, or those who are on a package holiday with their family.
Flights to Thailand: Many airlines operate to and from Thailand. British Airways, Emirates and Thai Airways are to name a few. The best idea is to use Expedia or Cheap Flights to compare and contrast flights. If you are flexible this is the way to score the best deals.
Cost: The cost of flights to Thailand vary depending on your destination, the airline and the time of year you wish to travel. However cheap tickets are usually booked between March and November.
Cost: The standard cost for a room is between 700 1500 baht (£15 £32) a night, though if staying in Bangkok, Ko Samui, Pattaya or Phuket, expect prices from 1,000 10,000 baht (up to approximately £210). Usually the best deals can be found in guesthouses and beach bungalows where for 200 1,000 bht your accommodation will be taken care of. The best advice is to book well in advance to snatch the best price.
Peak: Thailand's peak months are between November and February as this is when the weather isn't unbearably hot. During this time it may be harder to find hotel space so either book well in advance or travel outside the peak season.
Tax: Check that the prices you are given include VAT (value added tax) and in more luxurious hotels, check if there is a service charge as this can add a further 10%.
Tipping: Tipping is not common place in Thailand culture however it is seen as polite to give 50 baht to the bellmen who delivers your luggage (equivillent to about £1).
Places to stay: See our Thailand Accommodation Guide for guides to Thai Bungalows, Thailand Hotels and Resorts.
Visa: If you are British and traveling for less than 30 days you do not need a visa for entering Thailand. This also applies to Australian, Canadian and US citizens, though it is advisable to check with the Thai Embassy or their website for current exemptions of the visa requirement if you are unsure.
What you need: Return ticket (date must be less than 30 days after your arrival) and your current passport (check that it is valid for six months)
Immunisations: The main health requirement when entering Thailand is having a valid certigicate for Yellow Fever if you are holding a passport or are in residence of certain countries (check here for a list of countries). If you have a British passport and are a resident of the United Kingdom this does not apply to you.
Other Health Requirements: It is advisable to consult your doctor or local travel clinic to make sure you are fully protected. They will be able to assess whether your vaccinations are up to date and whether there are any other specific medications you may need. It is advasable also to visit your doctor or travel clinic well before traveling as some immunisations are needed to be taken well before your travel date.
Water: You should not drink tap water in Thailand so be sure to only drink bottled water.
Thailand Healthcare: Fortunately, Thailand has the reputation of some of the best healthcare in Asia (such as the Bumrungrad in Bangkok). You should make sure you have travel insurance to cover any medical needs or hospital treatment.
What to cover: First decide what your individual needs are that your policy should cover, such as medical cover, personal liability, lost/stolen baggage and cancellation cover. These needs will change depending on age, what sort of traveling you are doing (backpacking, family holiday etc). Once you have identified these things, then seek out a policy that covers these needs.
Where to find insurance: There are several places that will insure your trip to Thailand. The best place to start is the internet, though if you are a new traveler it may be helpful to get the advice of a travel agent as they will be able to advise you on what cover is neccessary. Be sure to check that the cover they give matches your needs.
Currency: The currency is the Thai Baht which you can get on arrival, using either travellers cheques, bank cards or hard currency. The Thai Baht is divided into 100 stang. One pound is approximately converted into between 45 50 Baht (depending on the exchange rate). Click here to check the current conversion.
Smoking: You are not allowed to smoke in any public places, this includes transport, pubs and restaurants.
Monks: When traveling by public transport, women should avoid sitting next to a monk to avoid accidentally touching them as it is prohibited for a monk to touch or receive anything from a woman directly.
Wats: A wat is a temple (a sacred place) therefore the following must be abided by: avoid disturbing the peace, clean and respectable clothes must be worn, shoes are to be removed before entering, all Buddha images are sacred therefore visitors must never sit with their feet pointing toward them.
Travel in Thailand can be very easy with the right advice and guides. So use these tips to ensure you have a safe and easy trip.

Home News Travel Tips Frequent Business Travelers Can Have Their Clothes Delivered
|Frequent Business Travelers Can Have Their Clothes Delivered
|Monday, 23 May 2011
When people travel, baggage gets lost, clothes get wrinkled, and time is lost. While this is a mere inconvenience for many, for the business traveler this could be disastrous. That is why Eclozets has come up with a courier service that will ensure that a business traveler can have their clothes delivered right to their destination. This eliminates the need to pack luggage and hope that it arrives with you.
Eclozets will not only deliver a business traveler's clothing, but will pick it up at the end of the trip, take it to their sorting location, have it all dry cleaned, and prepare it for the next business trip. That makes the process completely hands-off for the business traveler. This is a completely unique concept that is becoming increasingly popular. Eclozets is based in Florida and services the east coast and some of the mid-west. They plan to expand to nation-wide service by 2012.

Hey, everyone! I think we're due for some updates as the holidays approach! New Hub First up - fitting with the holidays, we've introduced a brand new hub! That's right - not just a modified version of our current hub for the holidays, but a brand new hub. Not only that, but this new hub will continue to be in service after the holidays (with less snow and ice of course). After years of basically the same hub with minor tweaks, and continuously growing hubs, we wanted to take a step back and make a smaller, cozier hub. Along with that, we wanted to echo back to the earlier days of CU with the design - which is why the hub is once more in a biosphere. You old bois might remember that several old CU spawns were located in biospheres. We figure that such a design is fitting for a return to smaller spawns. They were dropped with the introduction of "MegaSpawn" - which was the sort of codename for the large spawn that was a mashup of a bunch of old CU and ND spawns. If you aren't able to hop on, enjoy a few screenshots of the new hub: CUAuctions Here soon, we plan to introduce a custom-coded Auctions plugin for use in Survival and SkyBlock! Auctions are a fun way to sell specific items in a bidding war! Our original plan was to find an already available auctioning plugin, but it seems that most modern auction plugins take an "eBay-like" approach, where you essentially post a listing for an item, rather than the traditional "Player has started an auction! Do /bid to bid!" type of auction. So - we'll be handling that ourselves. We don't have a release date for it set, but expect it to show up before the end of the year (unless things go horribly wrong). Status of Modded MC and Beta 1.7.3 Both Modded MC as well as Beta 1.7.3 have been neglected pretty heavily for a long time. If you haven't been keeping up on our Discord, you'll no doubt have already heard that we've been working on a new modpack to act as a successor to Brink of Chaos in order to revitalize our Modded MC offering. Brink of Chaos has been a fairly disorganized mess since its inception - in terms of mod list, server features, and even versioning. For those of you who haven't kept up with the changelogs, the versions basically jumped from 1.0.0 to 1.7.0 with absolutely nothing in between. Why is that? No idea. Apparently they were all internal testing builds? You'll have to ask the haloman30 of the past on that one. With the new modpack (whose name we're keeping secret for now), we plan to refine and redefine Brink of Chaos' goals. The initial release will essentially be an optimized and more streamlined version of what Brink of Chaos offered, acting as a foundation for the future. Fun fact - we offer a MC Beta 1.7.3 server! You may or may not have known that since we've given it next to no love and care until very recently. Originally the plan was to have it sit untouched as just "a thing that exists", similar to TeamSpeak - and while we aren't gonna be investing quite the same amount of effort into it compared to our other services, we do want to help it have a level of quality. For instance - the spawn. The previous spawn for Beta 1.7.3 was abysmal. It was trying to sort of emulate the spawn of old CU's Beta 1.7.3 spawn, except it was worse in basically every way. The new spawn actually looks halfway decent - through abandoning the original idea of making things look "from the era". Part of why the old spawn was so plain and boring is because it was built partially with the design styles that people used in the past. Which, while it can yield some good results, this wasn't it chief. The new spawn is a major overhaul - and with that new spawn, comes a brand new world on a brand new seed. The original seed was just the famous gargamel seed (though not as famous as the likes of Glacier). This new seed is a custom seed, chosen based on a community seed suggestion we did on Discord a little while back. We can't disclose the seed for obvious reason - can't have people using tools to find goodies offline! We'll be doing more stuff to Beta 1.7.3 as well, stay tuned for more details on that in the coming weeks/months/however long. A Note Regarding Minecraft/Server Exploits Something that was previously neglected from our rules (I could've sworn it was there at some point) but has technically always been a rule is regarding exploits. As a general rule, they are not allowed. If you're using something that utilized a glitch or bug in the behavior of a plugin, Bukkit, or Minecraft itself - you'll receive a warning, jail, or a ban outright depending on the severity. As an added note, since I've had some people bring up this as a defense, something being possible in vanilla Minecraft has not, and will never be a deciding factor in whether or not something is or isn't allowed. Mind you, on old CU back in 2012, you could get banned on the spot for using a piston glitch to convert stone bricks into mossy, cracked, or chiseled stone bricks (called "circle stone" at the time ). I don't plan or want to go that far, but the general sentiment still remains. Don't try and break the game to gain an advantage - you'll have to face the consequences if you do. Update Notes Before we close off, I'd like to remind everyone that we have a blog for changelogs for the website, forums, and servers! Anytime we make a change or fix to anything in the community, an entry is posted in our Update Notes blog. Sometimes these things get an announcement, but usually they don't. For example, here's a few of the noteworthy changes you might have missed out on: Nuclear District Topic Polls - Previously, all topics from the Nuclear District forums that had polls showed a random and irrelevant poll. I went through some local archives I took before ND closed to re-create the poll data by hand and point the old topics towards it. Not all topics got their polls back, but some is better than none, right? Part of an update on 11/9/2019 - Click here to read more Award Updates - A handful of awards got their icons and descriptions updated, along with having a lot of members get their awards issued to them. Part of an update on 11/8/2019 - Click here to read more /sit and Weather/Time Price Cuts - The prices for weather and time signs in Survival got cut down to $125 instead of $500, and /sit has been added to allow you to sit anywhere! (Chairs still work however) Part of an update on 11/13/2019 - Click here to read more Status Updates Block Redesign - A forums plugin has been added to make the Status Updates sidebar block function more closely to how it did back in the IP.Board 3.x days - which is arguably better Part of an update on 11/9/2019 - Click here to read more If you don't want to miss any changes, be sure to hit the follow button on the blog page! You'll get notified any time we publish a changelog. Additionally, those changelogs send a notification to #forums-feed on our Discord server - so you can keep an eye on them there, too.
Hi All, A security exploit has been identified in the openjdk 1.7.0 version. The server uses OpenJDK 1.8 and has already patched the exploit. However this is also present in Java SE clients. It is highly advised that you update your java. FAQ Are there any crucial differences between Oracle and Open JDK? Nothing crucial. The openjdk project is mostly based on hotspot source code donated by Sun. Moreover, openjdk was selected to be the reference implementation for java 7, and is maintained by Oracle engineers. There's a more detailed answer to your question here, which links to this blog post: Q : What is the difference between the source code found in the OpenJDK repository, and the code you use to build the Oracle JDK? A : It is very close - our build process for Oracle JDK releases builds on OpenJDK 7 by adding just a couple of pieces, like the deployment code, which includes Oracle's implementation of the Java Plugin and Java WebStart, as well as some closed source third party components like a graphics rasterizer, some open source third party components, like Rhino, and a few bits and pieces here and there, like additional documentation or third party fonts. Moving forward, our intent is to open source all pieces of the Oracle JDK except those that we consider commercial features such as JRockit Mission Control (not yet available in Oracle JDK), and replace encumbered third party components with open source alternatives to achieve closer parity between the code bases. i dont get it. if they are similar then why two? Technical differences are a consequence of the goal of each one (OpenJDK is meant to be the reference implementation, open to the community, while Oracle is meant to be a commercial one) They both have "almost" the same code of the classes in the Java API; but the code for the virtual machine itself is actually different, and when it comes to libraries, OpenJDK tends to use open libraries while Oracle tends to use closed ones; for instance, the font library. Is the Server Affected? The Server was not affected by this exploit as the server uses OpenJDK 1.8 which had this fixed. Updated java-1.7.0-openjdk packages fix security vulnerabilities Publication date: 15 Apr 2015 Type: security Affected Mageia releases : 4 CVE: CVE-2005-1080 , CVE-2015-0460 , CVE-2015-0469 , CVE-2015-0477 , CVE-2015-0478 , CVE-2015-0480 , CVE-2015-0488 Description Updated java-1.7.0 packages fix security vulnerabilities: An off-by-one flaw, leading to a buffer overflow, was found in the font parsing code in the 2D component in OpenJDK. A specially crafted font file could possibly cause the Java Virtual Machine to execute arbitrary code, allowing an untrusted Java application or applet to bypass Java sandbox restrictions (CVE-2015-0469). A flaw was found in the way the Hotspot component in OpenJDK handled phantom references. An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to corrupt the Java Virtual Machine memory and, possibly, execute arbitrary code, bypassing Java sandbox restrictions (CVE-2015-0460). A flaw was found in the way the JSSE component in OpenJDK parsed X.509 certificate options. A specially crafted certificate could cause JSSE to raise an exception, possibly causing an application using JSSE to exit unexpectedly (CVE-2015-0488). A flaw was discovered in the Beans component in OpenJDK. An untrusted Java application or applet could use this flaw to bypass certain Java sandbox restrictions (CVE-2015-0477). A directory traversal flaw was found in the way the jar tool extracted JAR archive files. A specially crafted JAR archive could cause jar to overwrite arbitrary files writable by the user running jar when the archive was extracted (CVE-2005-1080, CVE-2015-0480). It was found that the RSA implementation in the JCE component in OpenJDK did not follow recommended practices for implementing RSA signatures (CVE-2015-0478).

Judith Sargentini
Judith Sargentini is a member of the European Parliament. She represents the Dutch Green Party and coordinates the Green/EFA group in the civil liberties committee. In her view, if we would measure our wealth according to Gross National Happiness instead of Gross National Product, everybody would see how important fundamental rights are and what an advantage it is that the European Union protects these. Safety and predictability are crucial for our wellbeing. We can enjoy an education, go to court, join a club and speak our mind. Neither the asylum crisis nor a terrorist threat should lead to lowering our standards of our freedoms and fundamental rights. Questioning our nationality, cutting back on legal aid, criminalising our faith or judging our sharp tongue, or those of our neighbours and guests will eventually lower our score on the Gross National Happiness Index.

Hey there! I'm back!
I needed a few days away from posting on here.
The last couple of weeks have just been so exhausting, and I needed some time to focus on normal mama stuff.
But I'm feeling better and more refreshed… enough to finish out this spring capsule.
Only nine outfits left to show you!
This is actually one of my favorite outfit combos, and it's something that I have been reaching for, for a really long time.
And I love the magic of some of my favorite accessories. This scarf, in particular has been with me for a really long time, and I still love it every single time I wear it.
The definition of sustainable clothing right?

Minn Kota Riptide Ulterra 112 Trolling Motor w/iPilot Link & Bluetooth 36V-112lb-60"
Riptide Ulterra 112 Trolling Motor w/iPilot Link & Bluetooth 36V-112lb-60"
Stow, deploy, trim and operate your motor from anywhere on the boat. It's not magic, but it's close. Riptide Ulterra features Auto Stow/Deploy and Power Trim, and comes with i-Pilot. Fish from anywhere. Dominate everywhere.
Auto Stow/Deploy
Nothing makes fishing easier than Riptide Ulterra. Auto Stow/Deploy lets you get your motor in and out of the water using the included i-Pilot Link remote.
Power Trim
Once your motor's in the water, Power Trim lets you easily adjust the motor depth for changing conditions, using your remote. Ulterra handles the busy work, so you can focus on fishing.
Integrated Battery Meter
In addition to showing the remote battery life, your i-Pilot Link remote will also show you the state of your motor's batteries, so you'll never have to guess how much longer you have on the water.
Digital Maximzer™
Motors with Digital Maximizer provide up to five times longer run time on a single charge by drawing only as much power as you need, so they don't waste any energy. These motors are variable speed, so dial in your precise speed and let Digital Maximizer deliver the right amount of power, while conserving your battery - extending your time on the water.
Weedless Wedge 2 Prop
Push weeds away and take on the thick stuff without battery-draining chopping and hacking. Weedless Wedge™2 features swept-back, flared blades for unrelenting, reliable prop performance.
Advantage Minn Kota
Indestructible Composite Shaft: Pound for pound, our composite shaft is stronger than steel. It flexes on impact and won't break, kink or corrode. That's why we're confident enough to guarantee it for life.
Cool, Quiet, Power:Nothing runs cooler or quieter than a Minn Kota. Our extra large windings and commutators dissipate heat, resulting in cooler operation, extended battery power, and longer motor life. And our unique bearing system reduces friction to cut fish-spooking noise.
Saltwater Advantage
Advanced Corrosion Protection: Riptide's premium-grade alloys are fortified by a multi-step cleaning process, tough-as-nails armor plating & a durable, saltwater-resistant powder coat paint. With layers of protection, the elements are truly protected.
Fully Encapsulated Electronics: Marine-grade urethane fully encapsulates Riptide control boards to protect the electronic circuitry. All electrical connections are sealed with waterproof heat-shrink tubing to keep saltwater out.
Sacrificial Anode: We use metals that are properly balanced & a composite shaft to ward off galvanic corrosion. So the only piece left for saltwater to attack is this little zinc anode, which absorbs corrosion so the rest of the motor doesn't have to.
2-Year Warranty
This motor is backed up with Minn Kota's two-year warranty.

In some companies in Massachusetts and elsewhere, older employers are disregarded. These workers no longer become valued and, in some cases, the companies may try to get rid of them to make room for younger replacements. A man who worked for Teradata Corporation in another state alleges that he was fired due to his age. He filed a workplace discrimination claim against the company in federal court.
Worker claims he lost his job due to workplace discrimination
Text messages allegedly led to a workplace discrimination lawsuit
Many Massachusetts residents use text messaging as a regular form of communication, but can those messages get someone fired if an employee is texting his or her employer? An out-of-state woman claims that she suffered a wrongful termination because of messages that she had sent to her manager over a three-month period. She claims that she faced workplace discrimination because her superior was not held accountable along with her.
3 former Chipotle managers allege workplace discrimination
Popular restaurant chain Chipotle is facing a lawsuit by three former female employees. The women, who worked in locations outside Massachusetts, allege that they lost their jobs due to workplace discrimination. They have filed their federal lawsuit, hoping they will find justice for being mistreated. All three of the plaintiffs were general managers with the same regional and area managers above them. Each claim they dealt with a form of discrimination based on their gender.
Wal-Mart shells out $31M for workplace discrimination lawsuit
A federal court case against Wal-Mart outside Massachusetts has come to a close. A former pharmacist for the retailer alleges that she was fired due to workplace discrimination based on her gender. She further alleges that her firing was also related in part to her being a whistleblower and voicing concerns about prescriptions that were improperly filled.

Swamp Statement:
The life-giving nature of the swamp contrasts sharply with the common perception of a desolate wasteland. Wetlands play critical roles in protecting shorelines, absorbing storm-water, nurturing sea life, and sustaining migratory birds. Human development puts tremendous pressure on these vulnerable landscapes. At the same time, their resiliency is astounding. These contrasts, and the ongoing human conflicts, are what interest me. These images speak to the intertwined destinies of people and the natural world, drawing from my experiences working as a landscape architect in the great wetland region known as the New Jersey Meadowlands, just west of New York City.
Artist Statement:
I am an artist and landscape architect. I use the perspectives of both disciplines to create works in digital photography, painting, and collage that reflect on the human relationship with the earth. Much of my recent work has grown from 20+ years of commuting on the New Jersey Turnpike while designing public parks in the infamous New Jersey Meadowlands. In this urban wilderness, where infrastructure merges with estuary, the intertwining of the natural and constructed worlds is plain to see. Herons, egrets, bald eagles, and more are common sights amid crumbling factories and gleaming offices alike, while water and vegetation work relentlessly to wear it all away. From this landscape, as well as from my own halting spiritual journey and experiences with illness and loss, the themes of growth, death, renewal, and the body have become constant currents in my work. I work from digital imagery, which I use as reference material for paintings, as finished prints, and as the basis for collage. I use my own photographs as well as found or borrowed images. My ever-growing collection of images – plants, bodies, highways, skies – is the starting point for most of my work. I favor earth colors – blue, green, and brown dominate. The process of assembling and editing is intuitive; I look for synergies, rhythms, and connections through both formal elements and content. I use color, line and texture to unite what might seem like odd or disparate juxtapositions. The entire history of life on earth has taken place in the narrow band at its surface – between the slow churning of the living earth below and the endless darkness of space above. In the broadest sense, I'm just riffing on what it feels like to be a human on earth, contemplating mortality and the nature of being

Heathrow Funding Issues £400M in New Notes
Heathrow Funding, a corporate securitization that issues bonds raising proceeds for London's Heathrow Airport and related rail link services, is issuing £400 million (US$520 million) in new notes for the airport to repay upcoming debt maturities.
Standard & Poor's has affixed an 'A-' to the sterling-denominated Class A-37 notes, which will have a maturity date of 2049. The proceeds will provide funds for the airport's repayment of existing Class A-12 notes set to mature in October 2016, although S&P noted the funds may be used for general corporate purposes.
S&P said the new issuance of senior bonds would not impact existing ratings for notes issued by Heathrow Funding, with all existing Class A and B notes' ratings affirmed at 'A-' and 'BBB', respectively since there would not be a material increase in leverage.
Heathrow Funding was closed in 2008 but issues new notes periodically up to a senior net-debt-to-RAB (regulatory asset base) level of 70% (the ceiling that would lead to a dividend lock-up if breached). The securitization funds its obligations through various revenue sources, primarily passenger charges, according to S&P.

United States District Court, D. Utah, Central Division
March 30, 2018
JENNIFER DIEDERICH, Plaintiff,v.SALT LAKE CITY CORPORATION, a political subdivision of the State of Utah and its police department, CHRIS BURBANK, in his individual capacity, Defendants.
Nuffer, United States District Judge
Salt Lake City Corporation (the "City") and
former police chief Chris Burbank ("Mr. Burbank")
(collectively "Defendants") move to
dismiss[1] the first and second causes of action of
Plaintiff Jennifer Diederich's ("Ms.
Diederich") First Amended Complaint
("Complaint").[2] Defendants argue that dismissal of
these claims (alleging depravation of due process in
violation of 42 U.S.C. § 1983[3]) is appropriate
because Ms. Diederich has failed to demonstrate the
deprivation of a protected property interest.[4] Ms. Diederich
opposes[5] the Motion. Defendants
replies[6] in support.
reviewing the parties' filings and relevant authority,
the Defendants' Motion to Dismiss is GRANTED for the
reasons set forth below.

Creation and Implementation of the City's Promotion
Eligibility Register
City's Civil Service Commission (the
"Commission") has adopted rules that govern
competitive examinations, qualifications, appointment,
promotions, demotions, discipline, and discharge of City
employees.[7] According to the Commission rules, City
employment positions that are considered to be
"promotions" are created by the department chiefs
with the approval of the Commission.[8] Vacancies occurring in any
of these positions must be filled in accordance with
Commission rules.[9]
Commission rules establish requirements for police officers
interested in applying for promotions.[10] These
requirements include that an applicant must sit for a
competitive examination that tests their performance as a
police officer.[11] Upon taking the promotional examination,
officers are ranked in order of performance on an eligibility
register.[12] The officers, unless disqualified or
they voluntarily remove themselves, remain on the eligibility
register for two years.[13]
who have been subjected to disciplinary action resulting in
demotion within the previous twelve months prior to the
application date, and if all administrative appeals have been
exhausted, are ineligible for testing or
promotion.[14] Names on an eligibility register cannot
be stricken, except upon written notice mailed to the last
known address of the person whose position or status would
have been affected, and for reasons stated by the
Commission.[15] The notice provides the affected
candidate with the opportunity to appeal or petition the
Commission to be restored to his or her appropriate position
on the eligibility register.[16]
eligibility register for promotion expires whenever the
register is exhausted, on the date approved by the Commission
for its expiration, or by order of the
Commission.[17] The Commission may authorize any
necessary corrections to eligibility registers whenever it
determines an amendment to be appropriate based on specific
facts or when the public will be served by such
promote a police officer to the rank of lieutenant, the
Commission rules provide that the police chief must select
one officer from the top five names on the eligibility
register for each position to be filled and shall notify the
Commission of the selection.[19] The names of eligible officers
that not selected are then restored to their respective
positions on the eligibility register.[20] This process
is also known among the City's police department as the
"Rule of Five."[21]
Diederich alleges, upon information and belief, that during
the course of her employment with the City, the City's
police department interpreted and applied the "Rule of
Five" in the following manner (without any written
policy or procedure to this effect):
When considering candidates for promotion to the rank of
lieutenant, the police chief requests and receives the list
of the top five candidates on the eligibility register,
reviews the candidates' qualifications, and then may
select any of the five candidates, regardless of their
relative ranking on the register.[22] Despite the police
chief's discretion within the parameters of the Rule of
Five, the longstanding, customary practice is to promote
these five officers on the eligibility register in rank order
until that register expires.[23] In those instances when an
officer is passed over for promotion according to rank order,
that officer is typically promoted at the very next
opportunity.[24] However, none of these top five
candidates can be passed over for promotion more than five
times.[25]Furthermore, none of the top five
candidates can be removed from their ranked position and
replaced by any candidate ranked six or lower on the
eligibility register without the police chief first notifying
the affected candidate(s) in writing and stating the reasons
for the removal.[26] Only then can the police chief consider
lower ranked candidates for promotion.[27] Applying the
Rule of Five in this manner enables officers to have written
notice and an explanation of their effective removal from
consideration so that these officers can timely seek to be
restored to their appropriate position on the eligibility
register before it expires.[28] No candidate for promotion has
ever been passed over more than once absent their own
voluntary removal or legitimate disqualification from the
eligibility register.[29]
Diederich's Application for Promotion to
On or
about September 2013, Ms. Diederich took the test for
promotion to the rank of lieutenant.[30] The eligibility register
was then certified on or about October 2013.[31] Ms. Diederich
ranked third out of twenty-four officers.[32] The officers
ranked one and two on the register were promoted in rank
order, and Ms. Diederich was placed at the top of the
register the following summer.[33] This register expired on or
about October 2015.[34]
Diederich's Placement on Administrative Leave,
Discipline, and Removal from the Eligibility
On June
19, 2014, Ms. Diederich was placed on paid administrative
leave, pending an internal investigation regarding her
conduct.[35] At the time that she was placed on this
administrative leave, Ms. Diederich was still the top ranked
officer on the eligibility register.[36]Although Ms. Diederich
alleges that the investigation was a sham, [37] the
City's police Internal Affairs Unit completed its
investigation of Ms. Diederich on or around the end of
October 2014.[38] Ms. Diederich received a notice of a
predisciplinary hearing on or about October 31, 2014.
Diederich's predisciplinary hearing was held on November
7, 2014.[39] At the hearing, three charges against
Ms. Diederich were sustained: a harassment charge and two
inappropriate force charges.[40] Ms. Diederich was notified
that she would likely receive discipline in the form of a
short suspension without pay.[41] Ms. Diederich received that
discipline in June 2015 and was suspended for 20 hours
without pay.[42] Ms. Diederich was taken off of paid
administrative leave and permitted to return to work on July
13, 2015.[43]
the time of Ms. Diederich's prediscplinary hearing, her
superiors informed her that as a result of the investigative
findings and the decision to discipline her, Ms.
Diederich's name would be removed from the eligibility
roster.[44] During the period of Ms. Diederich's
placement on administrative leave, at least five male
officers (ranked four through eight respectively on the
eligibility register) were promoted to lieutenant while Ms.
Diederich was passed over.[45] Ms. Diederich did not take the
promotional examination when it was offered in the fall of
2015, because her superiors informed her that she was
ineligible to take the test.[46]
Diederich's First and Second Causes of Action
Diederich asserts two[47] due process causes of action for the
violation of 42 U.S.C. § 1983 in her Complaint. The
first cause of action is against Defendant Salt Lake City
Corporation, alleging that the conduct of the City and its
employees deprived her of procedural and substantive due
process rights.[48] The second cause of action is the same
as the first, but directed against former police chief Chris
Burbank in his individual capacity.[49]
continuing any further, and in order to ensure procedural
correctness, it is necessary to address what appear to be
flaws in the two versions of the complaint that Ms. Diederich
has filed, as well as other issues that were presented in the
Burbank and his successor Mike Brown were named as defendants
in their official and individual capacities in the caption of
the initial complaint.[50] The first and second causes of action
in that complaint alleged violations of Ms. Dieiderich's
Fourteenth and Fifth Amendment rights by the City, Mr. Brown
in his official capacity, and Mr. Burbank in his official and
individual capacity.[51] Despite the caption, this complaint
contained no specific cause of action against Mr. Brown in
his individual capacity.
the caption of the First Amended Complaint[52] removed Mike
Brown as a defendant entirely and named Mr. Burbank only in
his individual capacity, [53] the content of the first and
second causes of action remained the same as they were in the
initial complaint. Specifically, these two causes of action
contained allegations pertaining to Mr. Brown and alleged
violations of Ms. Dieiderich's Fourteenth and Fifth
Amendment rights by the City, Mr. Brown, and Mr. Burbank.
referenced these problems in their Motion.[54] Ms. Diederich
responded in the Opposition by acknowledging: "In
addition to removing the official capacity claims against
former Police Chief Burbank and all claims against Police
Chief Mike Brown, by its [sic] First Amended Complaint,
Plaintiff also removed her Fifth Amendment Due Process
claims."[55]Although the First Amended Complaint
did not remove the text of Ms. Diederich's Fifth
Amendment Due Process claims or allegations pertaining to
Mike Brown, Ms. Diederich's statement will be interpreted
as a concession to their dismissal from the First Amended
other matter is Ms. Diederich's argument that that
Defendants' Motion should be converted into a summary
judgment motion.[56] Ms. Diederch insists that because
Defendants attached material outside the face of the
complaint, if that material was considered as part of this
Order, Defendants' Motion should be converted into a
motion for summary judgment and Ms. Diederich should be given
a reasonable opportunity to respond.[57] Specifically, Ms.
Diederich takes issue with Exhibit D[58] that Defendants'
attached to the Motion as it concerned a rule regarding
eligibility for the 2015 lieutenants exam that was not in
effect during the period of time that is the focus of Ms.
Diederich's allegations.[59] That exhibit is not considered
in this Order because Defendants withdrew it.[60] Furthermore,
Ms. Diederich's claim to a protected property interest in
being considered for promotion[61] was decided without
consideration of that exam and without Exhibit D. The Motion
will not be converted into a summary judgment motion.
Motion to Dismiss Standard Defendants move, pursuant
to Rule 12(b)(6) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and
DUCivR 7-1, to dismiss Ms. Diederich's first and second
causes of action.[62] Defendants are entitled to dismissal
under Rule 12(b)(6) when the complaint, standing alone, is
legally insufficient to state a claim for which relief may be
granted.[63] When considering a motion to dismiss for
failure to state a claim, the thrust of all well-pleaded
facts in the complaint is presumed, but conclusory
allegations need not be considered.[64] Nor are the
complaint's legal conclusions and opinions accepted, even
if they are couched as facts.[65]
Process and Employment Promotions as Protected Property
and local governments are prohibited under the Fourteenth
Amendment from "depriv[ing] any person of life,
liberty, or property, without due process of
law."[66] "To set forth an actionable . . .
due process claim [under Title 42 U.S.C. §
1983], a plaintiff must demonstrate: (1) the deprivation
of a liberty or property interest and (2) that no due process
of law was afforded."[67] "'To have a
property interest in a benefit, a person clearly must have
more than an abstract need or desire for it. [Sh]e must have
more than a unilateral expectation of it. [Sh]e must,
instead, have a legitimate claim of entitlement to
the alleged property interest is an "interest in a[n]
employment promotion[, ]" the interest "'is
a 'property' interest for due process purposes
[only] if there are such rules or mutually explicit
understandings that support [the] claim of entitlement . . .
. '"[69] "A hiring process that allows for
discretion and subjectivity cannot create a mutually explicit
understanding."[70] "Conversely, a hiring process
that imposes 'significant limitation on the discretion
of the decision maker' can create a mutually explicit
understanding that gives rise to a protected property
right."[71] "State law or settled hiring
practices can create mutually explicit
the matter of protected property interests and employment
promotions, the Tenth Circuit has recognized in Teigen v.
Renfrow[73]a "subtle distinction between the
right to be selected for promotion and the right
to take part in the promotion process . . .
."[74] "This is because '[p]rocess
is not an end in itself, ' but instead serves only
'to protect a substantive interest to which the
individual has a legitimate claim of
entitlement.'"[75] A plaintiff's claim that
participation in an open, merit-based system for public
employee promotion is a protected property interest "is
no more than a claim of entitlement to a fair
process."[76] "Even assuming state law grants
every state employee the right to be fairly considered for
promotion, this right is not itself a substantive right, but
rather a vehicle for arriving at the ultimate promotion
decision."[77] "Where state law is not
sufficiently restrictive to create a property interest in the
underlying decision, there can be no property interest in the
procedure used to make that decision."[78]
argue that Ms. Diederich cannot state a claim under the
Fourteenth Amendment because she cannot show that she was
deprived of a constitutionally protected property
interest.[79] Ms. Diederich responds by arguing that
she has a protected property interest in her (1) retention on
the eligibility register, (2) consideration for promotion,
and (3) actual promotion.[80] Using the Teigen
standards set forth above, this Order will simultaneously
consider whether a property interest exists in retention on
the eligibility register or in being considered for
promotion, followed by a determination whether a property
interest exists in the actual promotion.
Ms. Diederich Does Not Have a Property Interest in Being
Retained on the Promotion Eligibility Register or in Being
Considered for Promotion.
argue that under Teigen, Ms. Diederich's claims
that she has a property interest in retention on the
eligibility register and in the consideration for promotion
both fail.[81]Specifically, the claims fail because
they are nothing more than "an alleged entitlement to
procedure-which cannot service as the basis for a property
right protected by the Due Process
response, Ms. Diederich does not address Teigen or
offer citation to any applicable Tenth Circuit case law.
Instead, she cites to nonbinding cases from other federal
district and circuit courts in an attempt to establish that
retention on an eligibility register and consideration for
promotion are protected property interests.[83] This is not
sufficient to overcome Defendants' argument. As has been
articulated in the District of Utah, "[r]eliance on
persuasive authority from other circuit and district courts
alone is singularly unhelpful, as the court must govern
itself first by the binding law of this
Teigen, the eligibility register and the
consideration of candidates on it would represent the
"vehicle for arriving at the ultimate promotion
decision."[85] This is process and the Tenth
Circuit does not recognize a property interest in process by
itself.[86] Ms. Diederich cannot claim a property
interest in remaining on the eligibility register or in being
considered for promotion as part of her first or second cause
of action. Dismissal is therefore GRANTED as to these
relevant portions of Ms. Diederich's first and second
causes of action.
Ms. Diederich Does Not Have a Property Interest in Being
As to
Ms. Diederich's claim that she has a property interest in
being promoted, Defendants argue that the promotion cannot be
considered a property interest because it is "axiomatic
that a benefit does not rise to the level of a protected
entitlement if government officials may grant or deny the
benefit in their discretion."[87] Defendants point out that
"promotion to Lieutenant . . . is a decision subject to
the absolute discretion of the Chief of
Police."[88] As set forth under the Commission's
rules, this is true. The police chief does retain
absolute discretion to select a ...

The game features a 'lock and re-spin' feature triggered by landing the full expanded hockey player symbols (red player, blue player or green player) on reel one (these three hockey players are all great cartoon characters!). Your stacked player symbol becomes a target symbol, so any instances of the target symbol and the Wild that appear anywhere on the reels are locked into positions during the respin. Landing additional instances of the target symbol or the Wild on the reels and an extra respin will be awarded. This feature continues until there are no more Wilds or target symbols on the reels or if you manage to fill all the cells with target symbols or wild symbols.
Goal scatters appear on reels 1,3 and 5. Landing three goal symbols takes you onto the ice where you get a randomly selected hockey hero and a multiplier for your 5 free spins games. The selected hockey hero symbol is the only high paying symbol to appear during the free spins, this along with the multiplier means you have a greater chance of triggering the lock and re-spin feature, as well as achieving big wins.
Push Gaming's Hockey Hero delivers quality graphics, a decent dance music style soundtrack and a fast-paced game for both PCs and mobiles. This is the first Push Gaming slot we've featured at Free Slots 4U so check it out - we think the London based Push Gaming are a team worth watching!
Where to play Hockey Hero Slot Game? You can play Hockey Hero for free at Mr Green Casino
Not suitable for USA players.
That's it for our current round up of Hockey slots games! We'll be adding more titles as they are released. Meantime, if you're looking for more sports themed slots then check out our Boxing and Golf themed games articles, below.

Barren land is the home of South Asia's only active volcano. The island is almost 135 km far from the capital of Andaman. You can choose the best tour packages available to visit the island.
The island is situated in the northeast of Port Blair. Amazingly, the island is named Barren after the barren volcano. This active volcano attracts numerous tourists every year and has become the hottest tourist destination in Andaman Island. You can also visit Barren Volcano after purchasing budget tour packages for Barren Island.
Things to do with a low budget tour package in Barren Island:
You can reach the island by seaplane from the Port Blair. All short tour packages cover the cost of the journey. If you do not want to spend on seaplanes, Ferry is the other options. You can buy cheap tour packages for a ferry ride to Barren Island. The ferry ride is time taking as it almost three rounds of the whole Island before reaching the destination.
Interestingly, the trip to Barren Island has started in 2018 only. Within a span of one year, the Island has seen global explorers who buy tour packages especially to see the active volcano.

Rarely do industries stay static and survive, and the customer relationship management (CRM) industry is no exception. Over the past couple of decades, CRM has changed so dramatically that it now looks like a completely different animal. Still, there is the question of which is better: integrated CRM or best-of-breed (BoB) CRM. The answer, however, may lie somewhere in between.
Integrated CRM
Integrated CRM, or traditional CRM, as it's sometimes called, is the on-premises behemoth that requires an IT department to install and manage. There are benefits to having integrated CRM, one of the most frequently cited of which is the ability to control CRM data and resources internally. This choice is especially attractive to organizations that manage sensitive customer data.
The disadvantage of having an on-premises CRM system is that it can be expensive to maintain. From hardware costs to customized integrations and even general maintenance issues like patching and upgrading, an integrated CRM system requires resources. Another issue is that these systems become outdated so quickly that organizations married to the idea of using an integrated system often fall behind their competition when trying to create customer experiences.
BoB Vertical CRM
In contrast to integrated CRM, BoB CRM applications are specifically targeted to certain niches or verticals. Organizations that choose BoB CRM get only what they need and not much more. The benefit is that BoB tends to be less expensive than integrated CRM. It's usually operated in the cloud, which means that there's little or no IT cost associated with having the capabilities the organization needs to engage its customers.
The problem with BoB applications is that they don't offer the benefits of a deeper, expansive CRM system. For that reason, BoB CRM is often the go-to for small- and mid-sized businesses that want CRM capabilities without having to invest the resources necessary for integrated CRM.
The CRM Ecosystem
It's between these two levels of CRM that the CRM ecosystem becomes important and should be the focus of at least part of the acquisition discussion surrounding CRM. The CRM ecosystem is all the applications that will be integrated into a CRM solution, regardless of whether that solution is on premises or BoB. Some large players, like Microsoft, offer CRM applications that integrate widely with off-the-shelf applications and provide application programming interfaces to make it easy to customize the integration of unsupported applications.
The question then becomes not should you choose integrated or BoB CRM but rather does the CRM you're considering have a vast CRM ecosystem that will allow your organization to tap the data in other applications necessary to provide the best possible customer experience and the broadest customer engagement. Does the CRM solution you're considering limit your engagement opportunities, or does it expand them? Could it be more expansive, or does it provide everything you need?
What CRM solution are you considering? Have you considered the CRM ecosystem in your decision-making process? Share your experiences in the comments section below.

The Great QE Bubble Lives OnInterest-Rates / Quantitative Easing Jun 06, 2014 - 10:20 AM GMT
This is one of those days where I wonder what I'm going to say about this one. It's all too convoluted six ways to Sunday. Yeah, Mario Draghi delivered for markets and investors, and stocks rise a bit more. Like they're not high enough yet, setting records in . One thing he didn't do is commit to asset backed securities purchases, and so that is now what markets will be demanding from him next time around. Who cares anymore that ABS were the main conduit to blew up the same markets in 2008? Investors are happy, and Jack and Jill are ignorant. The Great QE Bubble lives to see another day. Yay!
The ECB has lowered its refinancing rate to 0.15%, its marginal rate to 0.4% and the deposit rate to -0.1%. Negative interest sounds like a big deal, but there are hardly any bank deposits left with the ECB, so despite the giamt novelty made out of it, this is just a paper measure. They took all these "bold steps" ostensibly because Draghi et al find inflation rates too low. But how would lowering interest rates fix that? Wouldn't it be better to raise them, wouldn't that be more inflationary (in the inflation equals rising prices sense)? It seems obvious it would, but that would kill the housing sector, among other things, and we want to keep people tied in to their mortgages, don't we?
Still, at least raising rates would have been surprising, and volatility would have gone up, which is just what central bankers say they want – even if they don't say out loud they badly need it -. Maybe the disparity between the Fed and BoE, who threaten to raise rates, and the ECB that lowers them, will lift the VIX. But that's not certain by any means.
The newly announced $640 billion LTRO channel for business loans sounds nice, but interest rates are already very low, so they were not the reason businesses didn't borrow. The real reason is in all likelihood hidden in the demand side of the real economy. Which, simple as it may be, is very poorly understood in economics. The ECB's decisions are all based around economists' extreme -and extremely wrong – focus on demand, which manifests itself in terms like aggregate demand and pent-up demand (of course the magical option is increased demand).
What they are (seemingly?) incapable of getting into their heads is that demand is not some sort of constant – let alone constantly growing – metric. That, like for instance this past winter when Americans were forced to spend far more than usual on heating and healthcare costs, there was no pent-up demand left come spring, because people were maxed out (they had spent their "demand"). For economists, when sales numbers have been low(er) than expected/desired during a certain period of time, that must mean more sales are just around the corner. Something went wrong, so you repair it. There is no risk that it can't be repaired. That's about as close to religion as one can possibly shirk without coming out on the other side of it.
The entire interest rate circus happens because the overriding "philosophy" amongst economists and politicians is that banks are more important than people. the idea is that if banks are doing well, that will automatically trickle up/down to the people. But why wouldn't the opposite be true? If policies were aimed at making sure people as as well off and – economically – protected as they can be, wouldn't that trickle down/up to banks? If stocks are up, then the economy must be good. If banks make solid profits, the economy must be good. And people are nowhere in sight, they're an afterthought as best.
In the eyes of Draghi and Yellen and all the clowns who think like they do, our economies exist of banks and investors, not of you and me. But we are 70% or so of those economies, even if we can't keep up with the demand they tell us their theories tell them we should be exhibiting. As societies, we clearly don't have our priorities in order; we instead let others set them for us, but they're not ours. The sooner we acknowledge this, the more damage to the lives and well-being of our children and grandchildren we can prevent from being unloaded upon them.
But we need to start doing that like about now. We need to realize that there is very little left that is being decided for us that actually benefits us, and that there are a million things being concocted that are only dragging us down ever further. Mario Draghi and Janet Yellen and Washington and Brussels are not trying to make this world a better or happier place for us, but for their banker friends. That is what I take away from Draghi's performance today, from the whole financial world circus around it, and most of all from the silence in the real world as that circus put on its show. Will we really only react when we have nothing left at all? It's starting to look that way. And you won't have anyone to blame anyone but yourself.

Have you ever wondered what baking really is? I know I have, I love to bake and I really wanted to know what it really is. When I was told that we are going to be doing a capstone project, I got to chose a topic that I was interested in, I knew what I was going to chose. If you are like me I would suggest reading what I have researched to help me answer my question. Baking is science, you may follow a recipe, scientist or bakers can spend days, weeks, months, or even years on trying to perfect the best mix of ingredients. Once they find that, next they have to find the right oven temperature.
You may notice that most recipes say to heat the oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit. That is because, all ovens are a little different so 350 degrees fahrenheit is usually the perfect temperature for all ovens. The temperature of the oven is really important to get the color, taste and the moisture just right. When the temperature rises, a chemical process called Maillard Reaction, happens when proteins and sugars are combined. Proteins are what makes cookies brown. If you bake it at a too cool temperature, the cookies will dry out. If you bake it at a temperature that is too hot, they will burn. When cookie dough reaches 92 degrees fahrenheit, the butter melts which makes the cookie flat. At 136 degrees fahrenheit, germs will die off. At 144 degrees fahrenheit changes start happening to the protein which comes from the eggs. Water boils at 212 degrees fahrenheit.
You might not notice how easy baking materials are to use. For example, you just push a button and it combines the ingredients or heats the oven. Baking materials have changed a lot over time. Once the thermometer was made in 1714, it changed baking completely. It changed it because now bakers can know the exact temperature of the food or oven. In 1856, the first hand mixer was invented. In 1908, the first electric mixer was invented this was very good because it was easier for bakers to combine ingredients. Things got even easier when the stand mixer was invented in 1919. The kitchenaid Artisan stand mixer is the top selling mixer in the world it is 4 and ½ quarts. Everyone loves it because it has very high performance. Over time the kitchenaid stand mixer design has gotten smaller so they would fit into home. They used to be sold door to door. It weighed 65 pounds! Kitchenaid stand mixers last for a long time without braking. The original kitchenaid stander color was white now they come in so many different colors. There are so many different attachments that you can bye, for the kitchenaid stand mixer such as the food grinder, the slicer, the shredder, the juicer, the strainer, the pasta roller and the cutter. You can even make ice cream and baby food with the kitchenaid stand mixer. Over all you can see that the kitchenaid stand mixer has evolved a lot over time. I think the it is a great product. When the convection oven first came out in 1956 it changed the world of baking. It did this by baking the food more evenly with the use of a heating element and a fan.
If you are a baker like me you may think to yourself have recipes changed at all over time? I was wondering that until I did some research. The recipes of the girl scout cookies have changed a lot in the past 96 years. Flavors have also changed the first cookie was a simple sugar cookie. If you use a recipe from a long long time ago you may see that the recipe calls for 30 or more egg you may think to yourself that is so many eggs that is more than two dozen eggs. You are right that is more than you need the reason for this is because the eggs a long long time ago were much smaller than they are now you can fix this be using a ½ or even a ⅓ of what the recipe calls for. Ingredients have also changed because ingredients have been getting imported and exported from other countries. Some examples are vanilla bean, cocoa bean, which makes chocolate, and maize. Maize is used to make flour. Think about how much we use vanilla, flour and cocoa in our baking.
You may think to yourself, how do bakers adjust recipes to accommodate food allergies? The food allergen labels and Consumer Protection Act of 2009 requires companies to list the top 8 food allergens, which are: milk, eggs, peanuts, wheat, soy, fish, shellfish and tree nuts. Some common food substitutes for wheat are: barley flour, cornstarch to thicken recipes or rice flour. Substitutes for milk are rice milk, soy milk, almond milk, coconut milk, cashew milk and canola oil in place of butter. Substitutes for eggs are: potato starch and tapioca.
Another thing that people may wonder about is how has the popularity of baking shows on television affected bakery item sales? According to Mintel-Consumer Market Research Companies, couples are trading in elaborate wedding cakes for cupcakes at their weddings. The cupcake trend was a counter-trend to people incorporating healthier options into their diets. Cupcake sales increased following consumer trend of affordable indulgence. Additionally, supermarkets are expanding their bakeries to sell more cupcakes.
That you for listening, I hope you learned more about how has baking evolved over time. I hope you enjoyed.

I have been reading the adventures of the Avengers for around forty years, initially in British black and white reprints, then in the original Marvel comic and now in a family of comics that includes New Avengers, Mighty Avengers, Ultimates and Illuminati.
The Avengers have always had a changing line-up and every major Marvel hero has been a member at some time, including the usually loners like Spiderman, Wolverine and Daredevil. This continual change helps to keep the comic fresh and allows for interesting sub-plots in the character interactions. It's not quite Dallas but there have been a few weddings, affairs and serious arguments.
But what I really like about the Avengers is, being the Earth's Mightiest Heroes, they get involved in the biggest adventures, such as the classic Kree v Skrull war (1972), Kang war (2001) and the more recent House of M and Civil War.

New Extension Program Encourages Family Meals
Eating together as a family has many benefits.
Meals eaten as a family tend to be more healthful. They also give families an opportunity to communicate and strengthen relationships. Plus, teens who eat with their family regularly are less likely to get involved in risky behaviors such as smoking, drinking and taking drugs.
On Jan. 1, 2017, the North Dakota State University Extension Service is launching "The Family Table: Eat, Savor, Connect," a program to provide families with tips, meal plans, recipes and conversation starters to help make family meals happen. The team who developed this program includes Extension food and nutrition and family science specialists.
"The Family Table: Eat, Savor, Connect" website will provide information on monthly topics, such as meal planning, making mealtime fun, cooking basics, buying nutritious food on a limited budget, getting kids involved in meal preparation, and family fitness. The site also will have links to related events in counties throughout the state.
You'll be able to sign up for an electronic newsletter with recipes and tips, and follow the program on Facebook for more tips, meal plans and ideas for getting conversations going during family meals.
Visit The Family Table website to learn more.

I'm reading a couple of good books right now that are business-related. Or at least related to my business which is owning and helping others who own businesses utilize the Web.
One of them is a book I read a while ago and am now reading the latest edition (the hardcover is orange), The Four Hour Work Week by Timothy Ferriss. It's primarily helpful for business owners although there are many things that an employee would find helpful as well. The book explains how you can significantly reduce your work week by following a number of strategies.
One of the ways for example, is to outsource all your administrative and repetitive tasks to cheap, but reliable overseas labor. The way Ferriss explains how smart, useful and easy it is to do, it will make you wonder why you haven't been doing it all along. The book, and the updated version I'm reading now are a fantastic source of new ideas, strategies and paradigms. And there are a number of good suggestions for utilizing the Web to help save you time. In the latest edition Ferriss actually explains how you can even outsource most of your email reading!
Another really interesting book I've been slowly reading is called Yes We Did! An inside look at how social media built the Obama brand by Rahaf Harfoush. This book explains how Obama's campaing was aided by online, social media efforts done by a team dedicated to that end. Whether you like his politics or not, you can't argue with his extremely impressive '08 campaign and win. This book sheds some light on how they did it in the Web 2.0 world.

So you have purchased a trail camera… Awesome!
Now what?
How do you go about setting it up? Where do you place it?
So to answer those simply, here goes…
Lets start with placement of the camera. Where? Anywhere really!
What are you wanting to monitor? a trail, a water hole? a frequented bedding area? or a bait site?
If you want to monitor a trail, find a tree just off the path to place you camera on, make sure that it is free of surrounding bush and has good clear view of the trail you wish to monitor and capture.
If you want to monitor a "static"position like a bedding area, water hole, bait site etc, find something close by, again free of surrounding bush (this messes with the flash in the dark) and obviously with a clear view of the area you wish to capture.
Next, setting it up.
Mostly, the factory default settings in your camera are sufficient. The ISO, frame rate, trigger settings etc are all good.
The position is whats more important here. We have found that for pigs especially, 1 metre off the ground and 2 metres back is the perfect postion to capture the best pictures. For deer, you need to raise the camera up a little, 1.5 – 1.6 metres off ground and maybe 2.5 metres back from capture area as they are simply bigger animals.
You may want to adjust your trigger settings, so that the camera is not triggered by wind for example if set to sensitive trigger, but this is trial and error on your part mostly.
And that is simply what it is to run a trail camera successfully…
Enjoy the images! And do share!
