By Curt Macysyn
The New York Giants (11-5) did not have much to accomplish on Sunday. New York was already locked into the fifth seed in the NFC playoffs, and they would stay there regardless of the Week 17 game's outcome. On the other hand, the Washington Redskins (8-7-1) were playing for their playoffs lives. But for the better part of this contest, it seemed like the roles were reversed. Big Blue's defense rendered Washington's high-powered offense impotent, except for a few downfield completions late in the game. Conversely, the Giants relied on a stiff ground attack in besting the Redskins 19-10 at FedEx Field.
Offense: C
The Giants made a strong commitment to the rushing attack, and it paid dividends. New York had its best running game of the season with with 161 yards on the ground. Rookie Paul Perkins led the ground attack with 102 yards, and Rashad Jennings chipped in with 52 rushing yards and a touchdown.
If the NFL wants to rid itself of its WWE reputation, then it needs to send Josh Norman a message. Norman continually engaged in his own brand of thuggery, while his target, Odell Beckham, generally kept his nose clean. In fact, the loud mouth corner should have been ejected for an intentional head butt, similar to what got Beckham in trouble last season. Chances are the NFL offices will give radio silence on the issue this week. To his credit, Beckham did not take the bait and ended up with 44 yards on five catches before being removed.
After 63 passing attempts in his previous outing, Eli Manning had a manageable 27 attempts this week. He completed 17 of those passes and had only 180 passing yards. The four catches for Beckham were the result of him being placed in bubble wrap for the second half. Tight end Will Tye also caught four passes for 47 yards. Tavarres King had a huge 44 yard reception that set up the game-winning field goal. The passing game was largely out of sync though.
Defense: A
Defensive starters played the lion's share of the game, with Janoris Jenkins making a surprise start for Big Blue. Damon Harrison was also out there, despite being injured against the Philadelphia Eagles. New York would not allow Rob Kelley to have any semblance of a ground game. Kelley finished the game with 33 yards on rushes (2.8 yards per carry), which made the 'Skins one-dimensional.
The scribes continue to want to put Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie out to pasture, but DRC is as valuable to this defense as anyone. His first of two interceptions snuffed out a Washington rally, and his second of the game turned the lights out on Washington's season. Rodgers-Cromartie finished the season with six interceptions. Olivier Vernon was a force on the edge as usual. Cornerback Trevin Wade, the team's Swiss Army Knife, was rewarded with a defensive touchdown on the last play of the game.
Washington quarterback Kirk Cousins needed a big game to surpass 5,000 passing yards for the season, and the Giants would not allow him to get there. If the G-Men can bottle this quarterback pressure for the playoffs, they will be in good shape. New York pushed hard against the Redskins' offensive line, and they never allowed Cousins to get too comfortable all afternoon.
Special Teams: B+
Brad Wing was solid on the afternoon with seven punts for a 50.1 yard average, and three punts inside the 20-yard line. But Wing's last punt brought back memories of Matt Dodge's kick to the Philadelphia Eagles' DeSean Jackson in 2010. Thankfully the coverage unit surrounded Jamison Crowder, or it could have gotten ugly. Robbie Gould hit two field goals (22, 40) and nailed the extra points. Gould's kickoffs are gaining distance as the season carries on, and he earned four touchbacks against Washington.
The coverage units have been great, while the return units have been somewhat dormant. Dwayne Harris had six punt returns for 46 yards (7.7 yard average). Special teams touchdowns have been non-existent this season.
Coaching: A
Yes, the passing game was ineffective, but the ground attack came alive. The reason for that was the coaching staff's total commitment to the run game. Going on the road and beating a division-rival on a playoff quest needs no explanation. And playing starters, and then getting Beckham and Jenkins some rest was the right call. If folks are going to criticize the coaching staff about OBJ's outbursts, then they deserve major credit for his under control demeanor against the Redskins. As Josh Norman continued his reign of terror, Beckham never flinched, but still played aggressively.

With college students and graduates burdened with over $1.5 trillion in student debt, it's infuriating that applying for financial aid is so difficult that billions of dollars in federal aid go unclaimed, leaving many students deprived of opportunity.
To apply for federal aid, students need to fill out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, which has 133 questions, including difficult ones like what is their parents' total tax-exempt interest income.
That's just for federal aid, including work-study. Applying for state aid requires more forms. New York, for example, has 22 grant or scholarship programs with different applications.
Added to this, students have to consider 4,400 colleges with different financial aid policies and then 10 times that number of private scholarships with different eligibility requirements and questions.
A vast majority of students navigate this process alone. They share their college counselors with 430 other students on average. It is therefore no surprise that 40 percent fall at the first hurdle and don't even complete their FAFSA. And no surprise, too, that no students complete all the financial aid applications available to them.
The coronavirus pandemic only worsens the situation. School counselors are even harder to reach, a lot of this information is online where students without a decent computer can't find it, and many families' ability to pay has been significantly reduced, making financial aid even more important.
The $100 billion in student loans issued each year is an unsustainable consequence, but the most damaging repercussion is the impact on students' ambitions.
To simplify the process, we developed a free platform, Going Merry, to help students find and apply for private scholarships, college financial aid and government grants, in one place. About 350,000 students and 7,500 counselors use the service.
Along with applying for assistance, students can see what aid various colleges offer to students. Stanford University, for example, shows its commitment to meet the full need to students from historically underrepresented backgrounds. The University of Virginia highlights its same commitment to ensure that out-of-state students know about its financial aid as well as those in-state. Colleges can also feature particular programs. Centre College in Kentucky, for example, shows its Grissom Scholars Program, a full-tuition scholarship for first-generation college students.
A number of sites make it easier to see what aid is available. MyIntuition, for example, provides an online calculator to give students a financial aid estimate based on six simple questions. Another start-up, Fair Opportunity Project, provides free college application and financial aid guides to every public school in America.
Without a simple and transparent process, financial aid applications add another barrier to education rather than removing one. And they make it harder for students who need support the most.
First, the FAFSA should be rewritten into simpler English and redesigned so that critical information isn't hidden in the footnotes. Second, all states should use the form as their sole application and allocate their grants based on it. Third, colleges should standardize their financial aid policies. Finally, scholarship providers should standardize their essay prompts to match the Common App.
Our society depends on higher education to help our young people achieve the American dream. Until financial aid applications are simplified, grants and scholarships will go begging and disadvantaged students who should attend college will not. There are enough barriers to social mobility in America. We should not let red tape and endless forms be among them.

When Sarah A. Chrisman received a blue silk rose-patterned corset from her husband, a librarian and bicycle-shop manager, for her 29th birthday, she reluctantly allowed him to lace her into it. She believed then, she said recently, that corsets "deformed, broke bones, tortured and killed."
But Ms. Chrisman, 33, a massage therapist and Victoriana enthusiast, quickly grew fond of her new undergarment. With constant wear — even sleeping in it — she said that her posture improved, that she ate less and that she transformed not only her wardrobe (from frumpy tees to fitted blouses), but also her waist size, from 32 to 22 inches.
This being the "Fifty Shades of Grey" era, it is no surprise that she then decided to write a book about the experience. But nothing about "Victorian Secrets: What a Corset Taught Me About the Past, the Present, and Myself" (Skyhorse Publishing) is racy. The most suggestive phrase the author uses to describe her newfound silhouette is "showed off my figure to full advantage."
To describe that figure, "I would say 'womanly', and that can certainly be sexy," said Ms. Chrisman, who lives in Port Townsend, Wash., reads 19th-century etiquette manuals, writes snail mail with antique dip pens and has thus far managed to avoid Twitter. "The corset emphasizes the difference between the genders, which I really like. My natural inclination to avoid that term 'sexy' per se probably comes out of my training as a massage practitioner, where everything has to be very distinctly delineated. That is, the sex stays out of it."
While clients are respectful of her boundaries, Ms. Chrisman said, she has found herself frequently ogled, questioned and even groped by strangers.
The most popular question: Does it hurt? Her answer: "It's like a hug that lasts all day." Rudest question: Do you take that thing off before you have sex? Ms. Chrisman refuses to respond to that one.
She is not alone among moderns in her revival of what Valerie Steele, the director and chief curator of the Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology, called "probably the most controversial garment in the entire history of fashion" in her book "The Corset: A Cultural History" (Yale University Press, 2001).
"Plenty of designers occasionally put a corset in their collections, but I'd say 99 percent of people choose Spanx as an undergarment," said Dr. Steele, who credits the punks and Vivienne Westwood in the 1970s for giving the corset "the charisma of deviance" and Jean-Paul Gaultier in the '80s (Madonna wore his corset onstage) for "making underwear as outerwear significant."
Dr. Steele said that designers tend to interpret corsets in two ways: either they're "fierce, dominatrix, S & M-inspired" or "romantic, glamorous and belle epoch." Only the hourglass shape remains constant. "A small waist is a signifier of nubile femininity and fertility," Dr. Steele said.
Alexis Lass, a former dominatrix in New York who wrote about her experiences in "The Posh Girl's Guide to Play" (Seal Press, 2013), has a collection of more than 50 corsets. "Feminists have protested that the cinching of the waist is an ugly example of suffering for 'beauty,' but I find waist cinching to be physically and emotionally empowering," Ms. Lass said, though she has her limits: "I've yet to go to Starbucks in my Marie Antoinette corset."
Whether medically sound or not (opinions are mixed, and Ms. Chrisman seeks to debunk the taboos), celebrities, including Jessica Alba and Kourtney Kardashian, have worn corsetlike garments after pregnancy to help recover their figures. Scarlett Johansson wears a white corset on the cover of the December issue of Vogue México. And Dita von Teese, the burlesque star, appears in a scarlet corset and little else on her business card.
Ms. von Teese wrote in an email: "People ask if it's comfortable, and I try to explain that it's like wearing a very high heel. There is discipline involved, and of course, the quality of the construction is paramount to comfort." Her collection includes examples from the revered corsetmaker Mr. Pearl, who has collaborated with Mr. Gaultier and Alexander McQueen.
Cindy Sibilsky, the producer of a musical based on Xaviera Hollander's memoir "The Happy Hooker," likes to throw a suit jacket over a corset. "The modern-day woman wears a corset on the outside as a symbol of her sexual liberation, power and prowess rather than the traditional idea of the corset as a tool of repression and restriction," she said.
But Ms. Chrisman believes that corsets should remain tucked away. "I think that the fact that some people are wearing corsets as outerwear is a very good example of how little privacy there is in modern life," she said. "People actively invade their own privacy." Though she conceded: "I will say one thing about the people who wear corsets as outerwear: it does show off the beauty of the garment itself. They are beautiful pieces of art."
Indeed, Mr. Pearl's creations have prices starting at $10,000, Ms. von Teese wrote. Though Ms. Chrisman said she dreams of owning a Pearl model, her corsets (she now owns a half-dozen) are put through more-quotidian paces. They have set off metal detectors at airports, she said, and ascended Mount Townsend and Hurricane Ridge in Washington state.
She emphasized, again, that the corset to her is "strictly underwear" and that she sees herself as "a lady and not a vixen."
Not that there would be anything wrong with that, of course. "The vibrator was invented in the Victorian era," Ms. Chrisman said. "People forget that."

In a very real sense, memory changes us. An emotionally painful memory tends to act as a hedge to keep us from behaving in such a manner that gave rise to that event in the past. Religious and family traditions, or collective memory, cause us to behave in a certain socially acceptable manner, especially while in the company of family and friends who hold to those traditions. And, we probably don't wander far from those traditions even when we share the company of strangers. Memories of the past that helped make us what we are today jump into focus when they are triggered by something we experience in the present. Visiting old friends we hadn't seen in years, for example, will trigger memories of people and events we hadn't thought about in a long time. It isn't as though we had forgotten our friends or the things we experienced together, but seeing them once again brings many memories of our relationships into focus. Peter points to something like this in his second epistle. He writes that he intends to be an impetus to keep his readers thinking of Jesus and their walk with him.
Peter's emphasis on remembering (2Peter 1:12-13) does not imply the churches in Asia Minor had forgotten what they had been told. Rather, he claims they knew these things, so nothing was forgotten. Nevertheless, the Church is not immune to following wrong teaching, as Paul's epistle to the Galatians proves to us. If we don't adhere to the fundamentals of our faith, we can be led astray to believe falsehood. A believer who is always looking for something new, is ready prey for a false teacher.
Peter as much as says he isn't going anywhere, i.e. he doesn't intend to retire from his ministry. Rather, he claims it is fitting, as long as he is alive, to keep reminding believers of the things they ought to keep in mind. The things Peter wants the believers to focus upon are the promises he pointed to in 2Peter 1:4 that enable them to partake of divine nature, namely our inheritance (i.e. immortality – 1Peter 1:3-5, and the indwelling of God's Spirit – Romans 8:11) and Jesus' return (1Peter 1:7, 9 & 13). He also points to the promise of our entry into Christ's Kingdom in 2Peter 1:11. What Peter intends to do by way of reminder (2Peter 1:13) is to give believers a written, permanent record of what they should keep in mind about Christ and their walk with him, because he was concerned about the timing of his approaching death (John 21:18-19).
Peter knew he would suddenly be taken away by an enemy and killed, and probably without warning, just as Jesus had showed him years earlier. Peter claimed the Lord had showed him how he would die. That is, he showed him it would occur when he was old, and it would come quite suddenly. If by using the Greek word signifying (G4591), Jesus showed Peter the manner of death he would glorify God, it isn't readily clear in the text how that would be (John 21:18-19). However, the fourth Gospel uses the same Greek word (G4591) to show the manner in which Jesus was to die (cf. John 12:32-33; 18:31-32). So, it is possible that Peter even knew the method the enemy would use to kill him. However, concerning the famine that was predicted in Acts 11:28, the same Greek word is used there, and it was neither known when the famine would occur nor the circumstances under which it would arise. Therefore, we can know for certain only that Jesus told Peter he would be old, and he would be suddenly bound and taken, and his death would glorify God. Peter may or may not have known the method of his martyrdom for the name of Christ
Therefore, with this in mind, Peter says in 2Peter 1:15 that he will endeavor or make hast to give his brethren a written remembrance of the things they should know. While it is obvious that his two epistles would be a written remembrance of some things, Peter seems to put what he wishes to do in the near future. If this is a valid argument, then Peter's epistles do not represent the written remembrance of which he wrote. Rather, Peter may have reference to leaving them a written copy of his Gospel, which many scholars believe to be the Gospel of Mark.

Yesterday was like Christmas in my kitchen. After talking to Tim Clark, president of wall paneling manufacturer Decorative Panels International (DPI) a few days ago, his team sent me 10 large samples of designs that looked interesting to me. I rushed to open the box, propped the samples all over my kitchen, inspected and took photos. My mini review of the 10 samples and their potential for your Retro Renovation:
I absolutely love the paneling that is meant to mimic brick and stone. I would use it in a heartbeat in a room where I was working to create a mid-1960s and beyond vibe — one of these may even have potential for one wall in my office craft room design! The stuff is really sturdy and has a high quality feel — the whole panel is texture-pressed at DPI's factory in Alpena, Michigan — bricks and stone "pop" out just like real bricks and stonework. The colors are great, very realistic. Overall, DPI has 5 distinct designs — a total of 12 colors — of wall panels that look like brick or stone. On these designs — I give 10 stars.
To clarify, DPI has many more wall paneling designs — wall panels that look like ceramic tile, stone tile, subway tile, marble tile, beadboard, textured wallpaper, knotty pine and wood paneling. Be sure to see their site (link below). Continuing on with a look at the other samples that I received…
Above is Honey Pine — This one, I think, is "okay", a "maybe" depending… If I were going to do knotty pine, I would for sure do more research to find out if I could get the real deal vs. using this printed paneling. Real pine is relatively cheap. At some point, I will do more research on where to get real knotty pine (meanwhile watch craiglist and Re-Store for tear-out vintage.) Meanwhile, if you want cheap and cheerful and just-get-it-done, the Honey Pine paneling is okay. On the right is the Windworn paneling — greige, gouged with deep graining, and even though I am not a greige fan I think it is well executed — it looks just like its name, windworn wood, like driftwood and even a bit like pecky cypress.There are other washed out colors, too.
Above: Paneling that looks like white subway tile — I like it, it looks and "feels" great, however, I wish the "tiles" were 3″x6″ instead of 4″x8″ — DPI's marketing team reports that the larger scale was a request of commercial customers — their largest market; dat's business. In any case, I still like the subways — they seem good if you are on a tight budget and want to DIY. The Fireside Cherry paneling on the right: Not so sure. It's sturdy enough, but I can see the difference between its rotogravure-printed surface design and the circa-1951 cherry veneer paneling in our basement man cave. I think a polished surface might help… I might try to slap some collage gloss on it and see if that *deepens* and *improves* the look; my original cherry paneling has a sort of "eggshell" finish that adds richness. I also have already talked to the two remaining manufacturers making true wood veneered paneling, and samples are on the way. I will compare and report back shortly.
Meanwhile: Lots of potential in these products from DPI. I see in the materials they sent me, they are no dinky company: They are owned by American Standard. Their brochure is also very good — ask your big box hardware store for a copy or see it online here.
Oh please send me the name, phone or email of how to get this brick or stone paneling, I have been looking for months and hit dead ends Thanks
I too am disappointed that the subway tile panels are not 3×6 impressions. I'd like to find some that is water resistant so I can use it as a shower surround and a back splash in my kitchen. I like great panels because they don't lock you in to a style for the next forty years while you are paying for the actual tiles and installation etc. Maybe someone should mention to DPI that they are making a huge mistake by not considering the millions of individual buyers around the world. Take "bead board" panels for instance. See what I mean?!!
In the reviews on homedepot.com the reviewers all used the aquatile as backsplashes in the kitchen and they say they clean up well.
This is a perfect solution for me! I have a long one sided galley type kitchen with the range at the end against a wall. All the food, grease, etc. splashes on the wall. I was going to do a tile, which meant it wouldnt be done for a while since I would have to save up, but this is a nice inexpensive solution and if I change my mind in a year, it wont be so painful!
I am looking for some wanes cot that has different sizes within the same panel and is only about 1/4 -5/16 thick. Any ideas?It almost looks like laminate flooring.One 6inch then about four 3inch then one 6inch and so on.
Wow! Their Canyon Stone or Hacienda might just the miracle product I need to help me to affordably undo my unfortunate bathroom beadboard selection made before I discovered my inner MCM. 🙂
I just completed my kitchen project (except painting the trim) using the white tile board. I cannot believe the difference that something so simple has made! The wall was so damaged from 60 years worth of splashes and pots and pans wacking into it and now it is a beautiful white tile (look-a-like) that will wipe right off!
i would like to have samples to see how they look in my basement i need to refinish.The walls we wanted to look like brick
Were in gauteng can we buy look like brick tiles for outside?
do you have any catalogs
There is a red brick wall in my 1951 kitchen that I immediately wanted to paint cream…. after perusing more of your articles I decided to leave it and I'm so glad! Thank you for saving me from myself! lol

As you prepare to explore Chapter 1: How to Set the Stage for Engaged Board Leadership, first let's make sure you have all the materials you might need. Feel free to use the worksheet on page 3 of the Reference Workbook.
Please gather your current board recruitment materials for your nonprofit. This might include the board member application, your board member job description, any materials you share during conversations with potential new board members, your board member handbook, or your board recruitment plan. If your organization keeps a matrix to analyze board composition please gather it - if you aren't sure what a matrix is, we will discuss during the course.
Also please identify the coordinator for this conversation. Perhaps your board vice chair serves as the nominations coordinator for the board. Perhaps your board has a nominations and board development committees - great! - then likely the chair should also coordinate this conversation. If your board has not identified a coordinator for board recruitment, please identify one board member who will oversee the conversation here.
Finally, consider how the nonprofit staff intersects with this conversation. Who is the primary staff coordinator/contact relative to board recruitment? The partnership between staff and board must be clear and supportive for successful recruiting. Be sure to include the staff member who sends information, coordinates meetings, and provides new board member information in these conversations.
Now let's get started!!

Consumer switching experiences
We have conducted an enquiry into consumer switching experiences in New Zealand.
|Stage: 1 (Enquiry)
|Status: Complete
We have published a technical paper on consumer switching experiences in the New Zealand retail electricity market. The technical paper is accompanied by a laypersons' guide as well as a consumers' guide. The laypersons' guide provides a non-technical summary of selected aspects of the technical paper. In addition, the consumers' guide focuses on specific retail customer results that provide insight on retail customers' habits in the retail market.

To encourage further research, the technical paper targets economists who may be interested in pursuing further research on retailer choice. It provides an econometric analysis of survey results that examine various aspects of the behaviours, attitudes and perceptions of retail customers towards retailer choice. The study applies discrete choice modelling to associate the retail customer's selection of a retailer with the retail customer's socioeconomic characteristics, household composition, perceptions of the selected retailer, attitudes toward switching to other retailers and the use of online price comparison tools in search of retail offers. The key findings of the study characterise the retail customer types who are more inclined to switch to other retailers or stay with their existing retailer when customer and retailer attributes are introduced to the analysis.

The Isle of Wight has long been recognised as benefitting from both a mild coastal climate and fertile soils favourable to the gardener
"In general such is the purity of the air, the fertility of the soil, and the beauty and variety of the landscapes, that this island has often been styled the Garden of England" – The History of the Isle of Wight, Sir Richard Worsley. 1781
This is one of a series of articles and anecdotes largely based around our work on the Isle of Wight and occasionally further afield
Planting is a very personal thing and here at Tim Brayford Landscapes we understand this. One client will love a neat scheme of box topiary whereas another will long for a coloured tumble of cottage plants. A lot will depend on the amount of time a client has available to spend in their garden which is why initial discussions are so important.
We are experienced in all types of planting from semi-mature conifer gardens to neat, colourful beds in a courtyard garden. All require a lot of thought and careful planning to succeed. Plants have differing needs and consideration is given to soil type and location before suggestions are made.
We have undertaken a large cottage garden with a formal paving structure which contained herbaceous perennials, roses and shrubs to great effect. A back garden which had structured shrub planting with bark chip underlay closer to the house and a more naturalised wild garden further back. This had native trees and was under-planted with clumps of spring bulbs and wild flowers.
Most recently we planted an extraordinarily steep terraced garden with shrubs and perennials which would give cover for most of the year therefore reducing the amount of mountaineering necessary!
Hedging is an emotive subject with neighbours but there are alternatives to the dreaded Leylandii. We have completed successful projects using several different types of hedging in estate situations as well as mixed native hedging for those in more rural or spacious locations.

Spotify can now create the perfect playlist for your road trip
No road trip is complete without a perfectly picked medley of tunes to accompany your driving, and Spotify is now rolling out a feature that will generate a road trip playlist automatically for you.
It's called Soundtrack your Ride, and you need to head to a web browser to get the playlist generated to begin with – you can get at it here.
Once you've logged in with your Spotify account, you can specify the start and end points of your journey, or set the length of the trip manually, so Spotify knows how many tracks it has to pick.
- Pick the best streaming music service
- Apple Watch 6 news and rumors
- New features coming to Google Chrome
You then have to answer several questions about the road trip: who you're traveling with, what kind of music you want to hear, the sort of tempo you're looking for, and so on. At the end, your playlist is generated.
Press play
With a click you can listen to the playlist in the Spotify desktop client, and of course open it up on your phone as well. If you're a premium subscriber you might want to save it for offline playback ready for the long journey ahead.
The new playlist generator might not revolutionize your life but it's another convenient feature to make use of, and a way of leveraging all that listening history that Spotify has access to in your account.
Playlists have always been a focus for Spotify: you can get playlists based on your ancestry, for example, as well as playlists that refresh each day (complete with news and podcasts) ready for your morning drive to work.
It's one way of getting users to pick Spotify over Apple Music and the other streaming services out there – though of course you're still free to curate your own road trip playlist in the traditional way.

By Gail Bymun, SHARE Board, Director of Volunteer Services
As the IT mainframe engineering director at Fiserv, it is my responsibility to offer IBM z Systems training opportunities to the employees in the organization. Developing talent is one area of my job that I enjoy immensely. At the same time, I have budget targets to meet, so I must choose wisely from the many training classes and conferences that are available. It is important to meet the needs of each individual while focusing on increasing the specific skill levels that provide the best possible service to our customers and peers.
There are many industry conferences available that provide z Systems training; however, most of these conferences are vendor-hosted and the content is specific to their industry offerings. They also tend to include content that spans multiple platforms and disciplines. While this may give a conference attendee a broader spectrum of topics to choose from, it often results in fewer sessions that are pertinent to their specific career focus.
This is where SHARE differs from other conferences. SHARE is an independent, volunteer-run, technology association that provides education, professional networking and industry influence. It hosts two onsite events each year that feature more than 500 technical sessions, covering many z System disciplines. There are sessions specifically designed for individuals new to the z Systems platform, hands-on labs are available for those wishing to do deep dives, a vendor arena is open to learn more about products that support and protect z System and many networking options throughout the week. But SHARE is much more than two conferences. The SHARE.org website is packed with industry information provided for its member companies and blogs for ongoing interactive conversations.
At our most recent conference in Orlando, I spoke with many attendees about why they selected a SHARE conference as their training choice and, if in a management position, why they selected SHARE as the conference for their staff. The responses across the board were very similar. There is no other conference that offers so many networking opportunities and sessions specific to the z Systems platform. The atmosphere at a SHARE conference is very welcoming and positive, inviting the attendees to share information while forming life-long friendships with others who can relate to their challenges and issues in the workplace.
I could not agree more. In my position, I have attended many conferences over the years and overwhelmingly choose SHARE as the best conference for myself and my team.
Thank you and hope to see you at SHARE in San Antonio next spring.
Gail Bymun, who has more than 30 years of experience in IT, is the director of mainframe engineering at Fiserv, a provider of technology solutions to the financial community. In this role, she is responsible for mainframe hardware, software, operational support, capacity planning and mainframe databases. She also serves on the SHARE Board as the director of volunteer services and holds positions on the SHARE membership, executive forum and editorial advisory committees.

New Fishing Rules For Lake Okeechobee
CLEWISTON, FL. -- The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) reminds the public about new Lake Okeechobee freshwater fishing rules. The rules went into effect on July 1.
Largemouth bass in Lake Okeechobee must be 18 inches or greater in total length to be harvested. Anglers can keep only one bass 22 inches or greater in total length as part of their daily bag limit. Also, a new rule establishes a 10-inch minimum length for black crappie on the lake. Bag limits remain unchanged.
Sampling over the last few years has shown a decline in the numbers of small largemouth bass and black crappie.
"The new size limits protect younger largemouth bass and black crappie from being harvested," said Jon Fury, FWC freshwater fisheries biologist. "The new rules also reduce pressure on the current populations."
The Commission approved the new rules in February, after several public workshops.
Violating fish and wildlife rules is illegal. To report violations, please call the Wildlife Alert Hotline at 1-888-404-FWCC (3922).

When I was a kid I came to realize that all family's were dysfunctional, until I met my friend Doug. Apparently Doug was having problems because he couldn't understand all the stories he heard from his friends about all the troubles they had within their families because his family never had such issues. Thus the functionality of his own family caused a dysfunction in him as an individual. Weird, right?
The moral of the story is that you aren't alone, everyone but Doug is in the same boat as you. I can prove it too. Just talk to your friends about their families. You may not hear about the same problems you are dealing with, but you will hear about their problems.

There's no such thing as a functional family - other than on TV. Every family, no matter how nice things seem between them, has their share of crap and struggles. It's just how it is. So, no you're not alone.

Of course you're not the only one.
No family is perfect, even if the family members don't talk about it.
My mother was a narcissist. When she died last year I can honestly say I did not grieve.
My sister died years ago of cirrhosis from alcohol abuse. I sure some of it was because she didn't know how to deal with my mother.
I don't share these things with everyone I meet.

You're not the only because my family are not close and there is conflict in the family. A lot of families are like that. Some families are closer than others. It depends on the compatibility among family members

1958 Chevrolet Corvette C1 For Sale
Key facts: • 72400 miles • 4.7 litre V8 • Manual Gearbox General Motors designer Harley Earl loved sports cars and was influenced by the GI's bringing home MGs, Jaguars, Alfa Romeos and the like after hostilities ceased in Europe in 1945. Even the small independent carmaker, Nash Motors, began selling a two seater sports car in 1951. Earl convinced GM that they also needed to build a two seat sports car. Earl and his 'special projects' crew began working on the new car later that year which was code named 'Opel'. The result was the 1953 Corvette taking its name from the Corvette, a small, manoeuvrable fighting frigate and it was unveiled to the public at that year's Motorama Car Show. This lovely example is finished in red and white with a red interior and a black hood. Under the bonnet is the robust 4.7 litre Chevrolet V8 engine mated to a manual gearbox which makes for great driving. This iconic American classic was imported into the UK in 1991, where it is presumed to have resided in a private collection, as the first registration in the UK was carried out by the present owner when he bought it in 2011. Various minor works, including a gearbox overhaul in 2013 by Ian Goss Services (invoice record on file) have been carried out by the previous owner, accompanying the car is a comprehensive history file documenting this work and other works carried out by the previous owner. The car has been kept garaged and used sparingly hence its wonderful condition.

It takes hands to build a house but only hearts can build a home.
I was born in the Congo and spent the first 10 years of my childhood there before moving back to Belgium, where my parents are from. I moved to the USA in 2006 to marry my beautiful wife, Traci. After visiting Alaska for our honeymoon, we moved here from New Hampshire, and now, over a decade later, I consider Alaska to be my home! (It's official, too: I became an American citizen in 2013.)
I worked in private special security and the fitness industry before joining the real estate industry. I became a Realtor because I love working with people and wanted to combine my interest in real estate with my desire to help people through what for most is one of the biggest changes in their lives.
When I'm not in the office, I love spending time outdoors. Backpacking, fat tire biking, and snowboarding are among my favorite activities.
I believe that integrity is the foundation for success. I am extremely devoted to my clients, to my profession, and to always doing the right thing. By choosing me as your realtor, you will have a real partner in finding the perfect home or property, or in finding a qualified buyer for your sale. I will be handling this opportunity from A to Z myself, with the backing of RE/MAX, a worldwide leader in the real estate market. I see this cooperation as the beginning of a long-term relationship with each of my clients.
I look forward to working with you!

Your baby's skin is soft, delicate and sensitive, and can be easily irritated by a rubbing or wet nappy. Sometimes, the friction caused by nappies can result in nappy rash. This is a very common skin condition among little ones under 18 months, and is generally nothing to worry about – when Katie had nappy rash, I found that it was instantly recognisable and easy to treat. Nevertheless, it's natural that you want to be able to spot the condition and get rid of it effectively. Here are some tips for doing so, picked up from years of being a mum and providing other mums with 100 per cent cotton products that are gentle on babies' skin.
Causes of nappy rash
Just as our feet can get sore if we wear shoes with no socks on hot days, your little one's nappy area can get uncomfortable if left in a soiled nappy for too long. The excess moisture softens the skin around the nappy area, making it extra sensitive when the nappy rubs. Your baby can also get nappy rash if they have diarrhoea, as the enzymes in the stool can irritate their skin. Other common causes of nappy rash are skincare products (such as soap, bubble bath or alcohol-based baby wipes) or washing detergents that are too harsh for your baby's skin.
Spotting nappy rash
If your baby has nappy rash, you'll know it. They will have red blotches on their bottom, and they may have spots or blisters in the nappy area. The skin will look sore and inflamed; when Katie had nappy rash, the skin on her bottom was actually hot to the touch. If the nappy rash is mild and you treat it straight away, your baby may not feel much discomfort at all. Some cases of nappy rash can make them very sore though – I know Katie was completely out of sorts when she had it.
Treating nappy rash
While your GP can prescribe your baby a cream for clearing up particularly bad cases of nappy rash, the symptoms generally go away quickly if you follow these hygiene steps:
• Give your baby a fresh nappy as soon as possible after the old one has been soiled.
• Only use alcohol-free, fragrance-free baby wipes (or water) to clean the nappy area, wiping from front to back.
• Give your baby a bath once a day, but no more, to keep their skin clean but not dry it out.
• Dry your baby's skin gently and thoroughly and, whenever you can, let fresh air get to the nappy area.
• Avoid products like soap, bubble bath, lotions or talcum powder.
From raising Katie, I've learnt that anything that comes into contact with your baby's skin needs to be soft and gentle, which is why I chose to develop sleeping sacks made from 100 per cent cotton. All our Slumbersac sleeping bags have been rigorously tested to ensure they will keep your little one's skin as perfect as it is now. Contact us at Slumbersac today to find out more.

It might seem counter-intuitive to talk about a fantasy television series as having anything meaningful to say about history. But Game of Thrones' self-conscious evocation of the medieval world, as well as the fact that so many of its storylines are drawn from historical events in our own world, suggests that it does indeed have something it wants to tell about history—about the ways in which individuals engage with the social and cultural forces that seem to move times, societies, and cultures forward. In the clip shown here, Petyr Baelish, the corrupt and ruthless Master of Coin, explains to Varys his vision of the world and the rules that govern the way it works.
In essence, chaos provides cunning and ruthless people the ability to rise to the top; not for him the illusions and grand visions of a just society. Power, and the ability to seize it, are the things that matter most to Petyr, and indeed to many of the characters of the series. Baelish's words could also just as easily describe the vision of history that the whole series articulates (and to an even greater extent A Song of Ice and Fire, the epic fantasy novel series upon which it is based). In this framework, the sense and order that we attempt to impose on the past are necessary fictions designed to paper over the bloody, visceral, and terrifying truths that remind us as viewers and readers of our fleshly mortality.
The St. Sesbastian-like body of the prostitute Ros, pierced by the arrows wielded by the supremely sadistic Joffrey, in many ways stands as the ultimate expression of Game of Thrones' theory of history. The actions of the great and powerful, the Lannisters, the Tyrells, the Targaryens, the Starks, become the ones recorded in the great books of learning. The lives of those affected, their bodies left broken and bloody, even the very narratives of their deaths utilized for those who seek their own aggrandizement, are a potent reminder of the price of history. They are the grisly detritus of the actions of these lords and ladies and kings who wield the power. The spectacle of Ros's death is an unpleasant and viscerally shocking reminder of just how violent and unsettling history can be. For women and the poor, who have little agency or voice of their own, their bodies become the only way they can communicate their historical presence.
The series constantly begs the question: who is to blame for this horrific and chaotic state of affairs? Eddard Stark, for not doing the pragmatic thing and joining his force with Renly's, thereby possibly averting the civil war, his death, and the ruin of his family? Robert Baratheon, for so many things: his bitterness at being forced to wed a woman he didn't love, all for political expedience, his mistreatment of her (which leads to her successful plot to kill him and plunges the kingdom into chaos?), his unwillingness to take an actual hand in governing? Varys the Spider, the eunuch who has secretly plotted to bring back the exiled Targaryens, all the while claiming that he only wants what is best for the kingdom? All of the above? None of the above?
In this world, everyone is guilty and yet all are, paradoxically, somewhat innocent. At least, their actions can in part be explained by the forces, social, cultural, personal, that undergird and seethe beneath the surface of Westeros, that always threaten to burst free and plunge everything into chaos. The actions of the past are not contained there, discrete and easily deciphered, but instead continue to mold the present. Characters frequently find their actions circumscribed by the legacies left them by their parents, or by ancestors who have been long dead. The political chaos that erupts from the second season onward is just as much a result of the wars of centuries past as it is of the actions taken by the characters in the present.
Game of Thrones attempts to do away with the neatly defined explanations for what causes significant political and social change. The many competing plot-lines that nearly constantly intertwine and intersect with one another create an incredibly complicated skein of cause-and-effect that make it nearly impossible to impose some sort of large, explanatory meta-narrative on the events that unfold. All that can be said with any certainty is that the world that emerges from the convulsions of the end of the previous era is one characterized by even more political and social violence than the admittedly bloody ones that preceded it.
The historian Robert Rosenstone has compellingly suggested that the filming of history is "about loss of control; loss of sense; loss" (236). Game of Thrones, whatever its flaws and however troubling its representational politics, nevertheless challenges its viewers to come to grips with this powerful, almost sublime, sense of history. In a world that seems to live in a perpetual present (to riff off of Jameson's claim), Game of Thrones stands as a potent reminder of the unsettling nature of history and that, I can't help but think, is a good thing.
