The building of complex products isn't just about writing the right requirements; it's also about the correct implementation. Until now, this information lived outside of Jama Software. Now, however, we're lessening the load to get these design specifications into our system. In this release, we are introducing the WIRIS Equations Editor, a third-party plugin for the creation of equations.
The WIRIS Editor renders an equation by connecting to WIRIS' cloud. After connection, the image is stored in the Jama database. An active Internet connection is required for the WIRIS Editor. An additional license is required. Contact Jama Support for more information.

Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) Improvements - We identified a potential vulnerability where CORS protection could be bypassed if environments were configured incorrectly. In order for CORS to be bypassed, customers would need to have their web browser security settings disabled in Chrome or have all sites trusted in Internet Explorer and there would need to be a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability present. As a result of this potential, we're releasing these improvements to help mitigate this vulnerability for our supported customers.
Note: This improvement may have an impact on customers if they are not using a supported web browser.
Note: This improvement may have an impact on customers who are using a proxy server between the user and the Jama application if that proxy server is configured to change the user protocol from https to http. Proxy server errors can be corrected by modifying the proxy server configuration or by adding a new whitelist entry into the CORS whitelist.
Persistent Cross Site Scripting (XSS) Improvements - We identified a potential vulnerability where persistent XSS could take place in the application. The use of an <iframe> under certain circumstances could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the browser. As a result of this vulnerability, we've removed <iframe> src from the application whitelist.

Note on 12/30/2016 there was a post-release configuration change to the hosted environment to address SOS-DEF-1583, where accented characters caused issues.
Important Note for JIH administrators: Due to security enhancements to our SOAP API, older versions of the JIH (pre 4.5.7) may not sync properly after the 8.10 update. Please upgrade your JIH to the latest version available here to take advantage of our REST API and resume syncing. If you are a hosted customer of Jama and upgrade the JIH, submit a support ticket to enable REST on your Jama instance. For more details on the SOAP API security change, see the community post.
Important Note for Velocity Report Users: The Velocity reporting engine has been updated to version 1.7, and as a result custom Velocity reports using macros will need to be modified to function correctly. Previously it was possible to pass a reference to a variable to a macro and #set that variable inside the macro. See VELOCITY-681 for technical details.We have an example available of the how to make this change to your templates.
-Multi-Organization Check: Jama on-premises customers that originally installed Jama versions prior to version 4.3, available spring of 2014, had the option to add organizations which operated much like a separate instances in Jama. These were typically used as a sandbox or sample data set. Jama removed the ability to add an organization with version 4.3 and are looking to end of life this capability in spring of 2017. Admins that receive this message should contact their system administrator of Jama support.-Access to Versioned Relationships in Baselines: Versioned relationships are now accessible in Baselines via REST, Baseline Compare, Exports and custom Velocity reports. -The New Trace View is Here! With this release we have completed the core set of functionality for the Trace View, and it is out of Open Preview. Users can adjust visible fields, reorder columns, and export to a .csv to be further analyzed. Trace View serves a purpose similar to Coverage Explorer but allows tracing downstream and upstream.
Admin Notes (on-premises installations only)-Customers must upgrade Replicated to the latest available build (at least 2.2.0) before this release will appear in your Jama Admin console (see Server Administration > Installing, Upgrading, and Migrating Jama > Migrating Jama > Migrating from Replicated 1.x to 2.x in the User Guide; if you are already at 2.1, use the command curl -sSL https://get.jamasoftware.com/docker | sudo bash -s no-auto).-MS SQL 2012 will no longer be fully supported after January 2017. See Supported Software for supported environments.-An update to Jama 8.10 has improved REST API URL requirements to validate correct formatting. As a result, REST requests will no longer allow for the passage of extra forward slashes in URL paths. This may cause an error for some customers' custom integrations built utilizing Jama's REST API. To review the latest documentation on the Jama REST API visit http://dev.jamasoftware.com/rest.
curl -sSL https://get.jamasoftware.com/docker | sudo bash -s no-auto
Other Notes- Due to the migration of the community, links in the help guide will be invalid in hosted instances of the application.

View Related Items in the Review CenterJama reviews can now display the upstream and downstream related items for each review item. This makes it easy to share a snapshot of relationships with internal and external stakeholders, and it helps reviewers understand the traceability of items in review. Review moderators can include related items when creating a review or publishing a revision. When a review includes related items, it will preserve the relationships and related item content that existed at the time of review creation, or at the date when its latest revision was published. Reviewers see the number of related items for each review item, and they can load a full list of all related items. Clicking on a related item opens a tooltip with all of the item's fields. Permissions for related items works just like permission for review items. A review creator can only share items that they have permission to view. If the creator doesn't have permission to a certain related item, none of the item's content is available to reviewers.Note that the Express Channel deployment includes all features noted in the

The reality of the present moment is at the convergence of transcendent and immanent. It transcends concepts, observations, opinion, preferences, assumptions, and the like, but it does so because it is grounded in itself, the basis of all of that is immanent, or even "immanence itself" as some theologian might say. It is the here and now. Not the idea of here and now, nor a mindless stupor, but a deep awareness. The ego assumes awareness, i.e. the presence of God, the peace of the Lord, etc, is cold and inhuman because it cannot conceive that there is anything other than itself, so if it isn't running the show, it presumes there will be some lifeless void. But the (Tibetan) Buddhists describe it as luminous. In the West it is called divine. The Japanese Buddhist and community organizer Jose Toda said it was life itself. There is no need to "try to get" anywhere, and certainly not outside of history and context, as these are relative and take place within the absolute. Instead, the idea is to not see history and context as fixed or as the total of reality, but as a passing reflection of a fraction of it's full depth. There can be no true "dynamic and changing process" if we live our lives in the psychological past or future. That is, we don't see what is but rather characters and feelings from the past, or we constantly worry about what we think will happen based on that same script. The script that says who we've been, who we are supposed to be now, and who we are supposed to be in the future. Throw away the script. Learn from the past, plan for the future, but transcend the script. The aspect of oneself that has a historical thread (our physical bodies, memories, ideas, etc) can be a vehicle for manifesting such depth, and isn't to be rejected, but when it becomes an end unto itself and tries to cling to something for a permanent sense of identity, that's when the trouble begins. There is then no winnowing away, there is the discovery of depth.fleetmouse wrote:Beautiful, tiny, just beautiful. I want to see this thread take off because that's a wonderfully concise statement about the relationship between the contingent and the universal in religion.
Isn't what's special about Christianity the incarnation, though? The instantiation of the universal and timeless WITHIN the particular and the contingent? Doesn't Christ work as a bridge? I think I'm developing more of an appreciation for the contingent elements of the Christian mythos (I'm not asserting it's "untrue" merely because I'm using the word mythos), and how they function as humanizing elements... there's something very cold and inhuman about the transcendent, the thing that's supposed to be the goal of all this Eastern-ish winnowing away of the architecture of the self and its story.
Is it possible that some or all of the meaning we create for ourselves is in those "junk" layers? And that when we get rid of that, there's no "there" there? Isn't it an attempt to get outside of history and context, and isn't history and context where we create or find meaning? Isn't "self" (not as a reified hard thing but as a dynamic and changing process) something valuable?
Of course it's possible to get TOO trapped in the particulars of a myth - witness those poor bastards waiting for the rapture on Saturday.
The story of Jesus is very interesting, because he is a Jew and uses Jewish conventions. Hence the eternal present, the awareness of now, the depth of Being, etc, is addressed as "God" or "Father". And to show his intimacy with this depth, he even uses the inflection which turns "Father" into "Daddy", as a small innocent child would use the term. He tries to convey his awareness of God by referring to being in the Father and the Father being in him, by referring to himself as the son of God, etc. He and the Gospel writers (sometimes it's hard to tell which is which) as well as the Apostle Paul also use the contrast between Adam and Christ. Adam represents humans who forget they are already created in the image of God, who are existentially unhappy and think they need to "be" more. This "fall" is the error of believing one is strictly one's ego. Its attendant need to (im)prove itself and reinforce its sense of solidity is countered by the image of Christ, the mantle attributed to Jesus, who by contrast is selfless and goes wherever the wind blows with no place to lay his head. There is a line that goes "as in Adam we fall, in Christ we rise." So now the question is how do we relate to this. If we go the ego root, the way of the flesh, then Christ is merely Jesus' last name. As such Christ is an object, distinct from us, into which we can vicariously tune or attach ourselves to in some weird magical way. Or, also in this ego mode, we can say Christ is just a nice idea, a psychic meme, a helpful myth, etc, and again Christ is just an object. It makes no difference if the object is mostly material, conceptual, intellectual, etc. This is why people got into all of those early heresy arguments that are reflected in divisions of the church to this day. It's all about Christ as object. It's all about ego. But if repentance is awakening the limitations of the flesh, of the ego, and renouncing its efforts to "save" itself, to earn a right to exist, etc, and to realize that the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand (within you), then Christ is not simply some Jew named Jesus, let alone some super-powered Jew names Jesus. Christ is a universal experience of becoming open to God. And in that, there is no first or last. There is no greatest nor least. There is no honor or shame or gain or loss, no treasure or poverty. Those labels are meaningless.
The trouble is, ego hates that. Flesh can't stand that. So Jesus tries to teach in examples people will understand and also tries to confound their expectations. But most folks who heard him heard with the ears of the ego. Not everyone had those spiritually open "ears to hear", as some Biblical contributors described it. So they imagined God on a throne and Jesus as his homeboy, as king and lord and head of the church. Trouble is, that makes sense in terms of Jesus' life and teachings only in an ironic sense. Without (being ruled by) ego there is no need for such distinctions. It's like saying, "Oh the world has kings and wants to know our king. OK, it's this guy, who was homeless, wasn't possessed by ego, gave his life to serving others, and was executed for not playing ego's power games." It's like saying, "Oh, you have your tribal or royal emblem, the banner you use to identify yourself. You want to know our emblem? Here it is, the image of physical and psychological agony and death." Because, it doesn't make sense to follow Jesus and have a tribe or kingdom, let alone a king or emblem, but the early Christians kind of threw it back at those who only understood such things. Unfortunately, many of them also forgot or didn't believe what Jesus was teaching, so factions emerged which tried to emulate the world. Their choices became traditions and then rather than being alive in Christ, as it were, alive in the presence of God, in the eternal now, many preferred clinging to the after-image, not as reminders of the present and the teachings which help us remember it, but to escape it (i.e. God) altogether and continue living the life of the ego. Even though the Old and New Testaments talk about daily bread and living water, many kept and keep trying to hoard it and store it away as some kind of wealth, but the mana in the wilderness became rotten with maggots and the living water becomes slimy and evaporates. And so basically this tension, the same one Jesus called out in his own time with issues surrounding the temple and the Pharisees and all of that, never went away. The two aspects are still alive and well in the church today, but historical events such as the rise of rationalism and empiricism in terms of religiosity were seized by the ego-driven wing and reinforced a lot of what people can't stand about the church today. The mystical element was nearly wiped out in the West during the Reformation and Counter-Reformation, because on the protestant side it was too "Roman" and not practical enough for people in the north, and within Roman Catholicism it was turned into romantic emotionalism. It wasn't until Buddhism and Taoism started making inroads into western Europe and North America that we saw the start of the current revival of the contemplative traditions in the Roman Catholic and Protestant spheres.
So, no, the contingent in Christianity and the life of Jesus are not trivial, but it is too easy to make them into idols and to follow a corpse, not the risen Christ. Which doesn't just refer to a single person. Otherwise Jesus is a magic act. Look at me, I heal people and raise myself from the dead. It's also why I find the crucifix so powerful. Not the dressed up polite ones, but the ones that practically drip with sweaty horror, agony, and denial, where you think the figure is actually alive and at the point of death and of desperately wanting to die being in so much pain. Jesus was abandoned by his closest friends, publicly humiliated and slandered at trial and sentencing, physically tortured, and then killed in a fashion reserved for the worst of criminals and degenerates. That is pretty much everything the flesh--the ego--fears. It is the end of everything ego believes itself to be: physical form, reputation, etc. The truest part of Jesus, beyond any form (physical construction, mental construction, conception, etc) could not be harmed or killed. That is what left the tomb. Recall that resurrection doesn't mean resuscitation. It is more like a seed dying to become a new plant. Moreover, I am of the same mind as those who suggest Jesus was resurrected at his Baptism, but only spiritually keen people would have been able to know it. For everyone else, who saw with the eyes of the flesh, it wasn't until Jesus had died in every way possible for the ego to die that anyone could see past those forms. I find it wonderful and unsurprising that the first one to make this leap was a woman. Even Thomas couldn't get his head around it at first because he was so identified with form only as identity, especially the body (he and Philip after all clearly were shown to think this way in the Gospel of John when they didn't know where Jesus was going that they couldn't follow and then asked to "see" the Father). To me that's why we tell the story of his touching the wounds. It's isn't to prove or argue about a physical resurrection or insist it was just the same body patched together. But again, for too many I fear, the ego takes over and all of this becomes a good thing because it means we don't have to really die to ourselves, to our fixed sense of who we are, and because Jesus "did" A, B and C we "get" X, Y and Z. Typical ego-think. And of course, what ego "wants" to "get"? Hmm? And then the ego wants to define and classify "what" was resurrected, and "how" and on and on, missing the point of the mystery of it. The ineffability of it. OK, well, I think that gives the gist of what I'm saying.
True, but one can run the risk of getting hung up on "Christianity" and "doctrines". Because Being doesn't do labels or play favorites, but the ego can't help itself in creating and claiming these things and then defending them with ferocity as part of a fixed identity.Metacrock wrote:Tiny's observation doesn't take away form the incarnation it just means that there's more to it than just words on paper. The doctrines of Christianity must be experienced. The Trinity is not a formula it's a reality

Yay Bingo
Yay Bingo Review
The world of online bingo is becoming increasingly competitive as the popularity of land-based bingo halls starts to diminish, and as a result, competition has never been stiffer in the industry than it is right now.
This means that relatively new sits such as Yay Bingo have to fight harder than they've ever fought before to attempt to make an impact in this busy market, and this is a site that clearly intends to do that.
Coming from the folks who brought you Queen Bee Bingo amongst others, there's certainly a reputation that proceeds this site, but that only goes a certain distance, and Yay Bingo seems aware of that.
The big selling point (at the time of writing, subject to change) is that there are no wagering requirements on any of the bonuses or bonus spins at Yay Bingo, when you spend bonus money, and you win, those winnings are yours, without any complex small print to make the promotion less exciting than you may have originally thought.
Wagering requirements are many people's least favourite part of the iGaming world, and by forgoing them, Yay Bingo has put themselves in a strong position to catch the eye of prospective players.
Once that eye has been caught, however, how likely is it that Yay Bingo will manage to convince players to break from their favourite bingo site and play here instead?
Design and theme
The design here is about as predictable as it gets for an online bingo site, with pastel colours and playful imagery throughout, but unlike their online casino cousins, bingo sites can benefit from picking a familiar concept.
Bingo fans tend to know exactly what they want, and what they want is a modernised version of what they have been getting for years, which is exactly what Yay Bingo has to offer.
The colours, the design, it's all comfortable to the bingo fan, and as the online bingo world is full of hobby players, comfort, and entertainment, are of paramount importance.
In terms of layout, navigation couldn't be much easier here, with thumbnails not only allowing access to the host of different bingo rooms that are available, but also to the impressive selection of slot and table games that Yay Bingo has, far more than the average bingo site.
In short, Yay Bingo doesn't step outside of the box, but it does everything it has to, and it does it all well, making this site likely to please the majority of players, in terms of design at least.
When it comes to games, it's tough to argue with Yay Bingo being up there with the very best amongst bingo sites.
Firstly, the site offers a wide array of bingo rooms, different buy ins, various jackpots, different games every day, and VIP rooms for the high rollers, if you are a bingo fan, you will be spoilt for choice here.
It isn't only in their bingo collection that Yay Bingo is likely to excite players though, as alluded to previously, the slots and table games that are available in abundance here leave most other bingo sites in their wake.
Titles from 888 Holdings, Bally Wulff, Eyecon, IGT, IWG, NetEnt, NextGen Gaming, PariPlay, SG Gaming, Thunderkick, and Williams Interactive ensure that there's something here to suit all tastes, whether you're looking predominantly for slot titles, or just a break from bingo games every now and again.
Yay Bingo may look pretty simple, and it is, but complexity isn't what is necessary in the online bingo world, quality is, and this is a site that certainly offers that.

Bus and lorry crash on A14 eastbound near Copdock Interchange delaying drivers heading into Ipswich
PUBLISHED: 09:06 18 September 2017 | UPDATED: 12:53 18 September 2017
Traffic is heavy around the Copdock Interchange this morning after a bus and a lorry crashed on the A14 eastbound exit slip road at junction 55.
Police were called to the scene at around 8.25am to reports the two vehicles had collided on the eastbound approach to the Copdock roundabout.
Both the lorry and bus driver are believed to have suffered minor injuries and an ambulance was not required at the scene.
Recovery has been arranged for both vehicles but the crash has created long delays on the eastbound carriageway as commuters drive into work.
A police spokesman said: "We were called to the eastbound off-slip of the A14 near junction 55 for the Copdock Interchange at around 8.25am.
"The collision was reported as involving a bus and a lorry and the people involved sustained minor injuries.
"An ambulance was not required."
It is hoped the road will clear within the next 30 minutes – both the bus and lorry are still able to be driven, according to police, so the slip road should re-open fully once they have been moved.

At Christmas, we reflect on Mary and ask "Mary, did you know" (thanks to Mark Lowry). Did the young virgin have any clue how her life would be impacted? Thirty years she raised Him and protected Him, moving to stay ahead of the Roman executioners. Then three years of Him being His true self in the world, being chased and persecuted by the religious leaders. And finally a gruesome and tortured end. Maybe she did know what was coming, to some degree.
But Jesus knew.
He knew every moment of His life on earth.
He knew every word He would teach.
He knew every disease He would heal.
He knew every life He would change.
He knew every test the religious leaders would give.
He knew the twelve He will call closest to Him.
He knew the one who would betray Him (and yet still called him).
He knew every doubt His disciples would have.
He knew the end.
He knew His final prayer would ask for another way yet would fully submit to His Father's plans.
He knew the legion that would come for Him.
He knew the eleven would cower and run, abandoning Him.
He knew every false accusation of the religious leaders.
He knew every strike of the Roman whip.
He knew every taunt and slap of the soldiers.
He knew every pain-filled step to Golgotha.
He knew every strike of the hammer to pound the nails.
He knew every insult hurled by the criminal next to Him and the crowds below Him.
He knew every minute of the six hours He would spend hanging on the cross.
He knew His Father would forsake Him.
He knew all of this. And He chose to go through it all. At any point He could have saved Himself and walked away. But He refused to waver from His purpose – "nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done" (Luke 22:42).
That meant He took every insult, every slap, every lash, and every hour. "He was oppressed and He was afflicted" (Isaiah 53:7) yet He refused to defend Himself or save Himself. "… He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross" (Philippians 2:8).
Consider an innocent Man going through all that on behalf of someone else. Why would He do that?
You are so special and amazing to Him that He wanted to make sure there were no barriers between you and God. He wanted you to be part of His story. He wanted you to know the new life, the new hope, and the new heart everything He went through brings.
So maybe today you will take a moment to say "thank You!" to the One who suffered greatly and died willingly to for you. The One who proved His unconditional love in the most amazing way. The One who thinks every minute of every day that you are worth His love and grace.
Marie Fremin. 3/25/18

Please note that certain information may have changed since the date of release.
May 27, 2019
Tokyo, Japan — Sony Corporation today announced its endorsement of the final report published by the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD Recommendations), which was established by the Financial Stability Board (FSB).*1 Going forward, Sony will continue to enhance disclosure of climate change-related information in accordance with the TCFD Recommendations.
Sony upholds a policy of disclosing accurate information in a timely, fair and accessible manner while augmenting information available to the public as it strives to build relationships of trust with its shareholders, investors and other stakeholders and maximize Sony's corporate value. This is why Sony has long been focused on disclosing environmental and other non-financial information, in addition to financial information. Ever since the publication of its Environmental Report in 1994, Sony has continuously published the Sustainability Report (renamed from "CSR Report" in 2018) and has also worked proactively to create opportunities for dialogue with stakeholders, such as holding ESG briefings.
Sony engages in management from a long-term perspective, aiming to continuously generate social value and maintain a high level of profit. With regard to the global environmental issue of climate change, Sony's goal is to achieve a zero environmental footprint throughout the life cycle of its products and business activities by 2050, as disclosed in its long-term environmental plan, "Road to Zero," formulated in 2010. Based on this long-term plan, Sony has formulated Green Management 2020, the mid-term environmental targets for the period from fiscal 2016 to fiscal 2020 and is currently working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in sites and the energy consumption of products.
In recognition of its information disclosure and initiatives to achieve a zero environmental footprint, Sony has been included in the A-List*2 of the highest performing companies in the CDP*3 climate change survey for four consecutive years since fiscal 2015.
Going forward, Sony will continue to enhance climate-related information disclosure and actively work to create opportunities for dialogue with various stakeholders. In addition to these efforts, Sony will continue striving to minimize the environmental footprint of its entire value chain, to deliver environmentally-conscious products and services, and to work to create a better, more sustainable society.
TCFD is a task force established by the FSB in 2015, and the TCFD Recommendations suggest a framework for the voluntary disclosure by companies of information such as climate-related risks and opportunities. 100 organizations in Japan, including Sony, and a total of 680 organizations worldwide, have endorsed the TCFD Recommendations (as of May 22th, 2019).

Authority, Max Weber on authority
From Vototo
The word authority (Derived from the Latin word auctoritas) can be used to mean power given by the state (in the form of government, judges, police officers, etc.) or by academic knowledge of an area (someone can be an authority on a subject).
Max Weber, in his sociological and philosophical work, identified and distinguished three types of legitimate domination (Herrschaft in German, which generally means 'domination' or 'rule'), that have sometimes been rendered in English translation as types of authority, because domination isn't seen as a political concept in the first place. Weber defined domination (authority) as the chance of commands being obeyed by a specifiable group of people. Legitimate authority is that which is recognized as legitimate and justified by both the ruler and the ruled.
Weber divided legitimate authority into three types:
- The first type discussed by Weber is Rational-legal authority. It is that form of authority which depends for its legitimacy on formal rules and established laws of the state, which are usually written down and are often very complex. The power of the rational legal authority is mentioned in the constitution. Modern societies depend on legal-rational authority. Government officials are the best example of this form of authority, which is prevalent all over the world.
- The second type of authority is Traditional authority, which derives from long-established customs, habits and social structures. When power passes from one generation to another, then it is known as traditional authority. The right of hereditary monarchs to rule furnishes an obvious example. The Tudor dynasty in England and the ruling families of Mewar, in Rajasthan (India) are some examples of traditional authority.
- The third form of authority is Charismatic authority. Here, the charisma of the individual or the leader plays an important role. Charismatic authority is that authority which is derived from "the gift of grace" or when the leader claims that his authority is derived from a "higher power" (e.g. God or natural law or rights) or "inspiration", that is superior to both the validity of traditional and rational-legal authority and followers accept this and are willing to follow this higher or inspired authority, in the place of the authority that they have hitherto been following. Examples in this regard can be NT Rama Rao, a matinee idol, who went on to become one of the most powerful Chief Ministers of Andhra Pradesh.
History has witnessed several social movements or revolutions, against a system of traditional or legal-rational authority, which are usually started by Charismatic authorities. Weber states that what distinguishes authority from coercion, force and power on the one hand, and leadership, persuasion and influence on the other hand, is legitimacy. Superiors, he states, feel that they have a right to issue commands; subordinates perceive an obligation to obey. Social scientists agree that authority is but one of several resources available to incumbents in formal positions. For example, a Head of State is dependent upon a similar nesting of authority. His legitimacy must be acknowledged, not just by citizens, but by those who control other valued resources: his immediate staff, his cabinet, military leaders and in the long run, the administration and political apparatus of the entire society.
Authority can be created either expressly or by implication; (2) public entities act publicly, using the same means to communicate the grant of authority to their agents that they use to communicate this to third parties; (3) apparent authority describes the situation when a principal has placed restrictions on an agent that are not known to a third party; (4) restrictions on government agents are accomplished in the open, through laws and regulations; (5) everyone, including contractors, are supposed to know the laws and regulations of our government; and thus (6) the concept of "apparent authority" is often inapt when dealing with the government, insofar as the only cognizable restrictions on the agent's authority are deemed known to third parties, shattering any appearance of authority.

Divorce and Custody Laws to Change in 2016
December 18, 2015
ROCKFORD (WIFR) -- Although almost half of married couples experience it, divorce is never easy, and a new Illinois law could make it take a little longer than before.
There will be many changes to the way our courts handle divorces, and one local judge says that although the process will now ask for more from parents, the ones who put in the time, will see the best results. Starting in 2016, there will no longer be such a thing as custody. Instead, all couples filing for divorce will have to split up parenting responsibilities.
They will pick and choose between medical, religious, educational and extra curricular decisions. They will also have to set a plan, or schedule, so that if there is a future dispute, the judge can easily refer back to it, but, that can take some time.
"The document itself and the provisions to the document have so many different elements to it, it's probably going to take a little bit more time to work through all of these changes so I'm expecting it's going to take longer for parenting issues to work their way through the court system," said 17th Congressional District Associate Judge Joe Bruce.
"There will be information in regards to that each parent have access to medical records of the child, school records of the child and there are a lot of different things that have to be included in each parenting plan," said attorney Laura Baluch. "There's literally 17 different things that the statute states is required now."
Bruce says although it may take longer, the courts will be working as hard as they can to get people through quickly because this is a new law that judges, lawyers and couples will all have to get accustomed with. The new laws will only be in effect for couples who file for divorce on or after January 1st.
Filing will also be different. People will only be able to claim irreconcilable differences and will no longer have to be separated for at least six months before filling out paperwork.
Parents who want to relocate with their kids will now only be able to move 50 miles instead of anywhere throughout the state.
A group of judges as well as the local bar association are also drafting up example plans for divorcing couples to look over before deciding on their own schedule.

But that obsession with language is hard to let go of. During early-stage novel writing, it comes out in other ways.
Example from some crackers I was eating this weekend: "Natural Flavor with other natural flavor."
a) Can I get an S? Natural flavorS with other natural flavorS.
b) Or articles? A natural flavor with another natural flavor might also work.
c) What does this even mean? Are we talking about flavor or ingredients? Flavor means taste. Is their point that these crackers taste like two things? Crackers and sweet onions? Sweet potatoes (their main ingredient which is why I bought them. I am a sucker for sweet potatoes) and rice? Salt and crunchy? Bananas and bologna? Flavor and flavor?
d) Or do they mean ingredients? Because flavor does not mean ingredients. But that does seem to be what's implied here. I chose these, in fact, because their ingredient list was short, recognizable, and non-chemical. These crackers contained actual foods on their ingredient list, foods such as sweet potatoes and rice. But then you'd think the copy might read: Sweet potatoes with rice. Instead of natural flavor with other natural flavor.
e) Flavor means taste. All flavors are natural. Their cause might well be artificial, but their taste on the tongue is natural. And natural.
f) There are only two reasons makers of crackers put copy on their boxes: to make me buy them or to make sure I don't sue them for having done so. I honestly can't imagine which this is.
And then check this out:
a) Is the final word here meant to be gender? Because at the very least they probably mean sex.
Unless b) they mean gender in which case bravo and more power to 'em though I'm not sure that requires signage at that point. Maybe this is too long: "Children six years [of??] age and older must use the locker room which best aligns with their gender performance always acknowledging that that performance is culturally imposed and interpreted, subject to change, and may lie outside the two (falsely dichotomous) locker room options herein presented."
c) Or maybe it's literal where end=genitalia. Which I love.
d) Or maybe it bespeaks everyone's eventual demise. We don't want to think about it in very young children, but by six, you're old enough to consider that someday we must all shuffle off this mortal coil. Another too long sign: "Those whose off-shuffling will be in a car, a body of water, a hospital room, a mountain slope, or a dog park must use the women's locker room. Those for whom it will be a bedroom or other room in a private home, a yoga studio, a glacier crevasse, a boat, a ballpark, or a movie theater must use the men's locker room. We know you don't know, but guess."

Mike Streeter (keen supporter of Swanage Lifeboat) recently sent me this photo taken (he thinks) on the day of the naming ceremony of our current boat the Robert Charles Brown. In the background circles the J.Reginald Corah but also the fishing vessel Britannia lies to her mooring. The Britannia was owned at the time by Pete Barrett who remains a local fisherman, all be it in a much smaller vessel.
Shortly after this photo was taken she was decommissioned by MAF. Ownership was then handed over by MAFF to the North East Lincolnshire Borough Council for the National Fishing Heritage Centre in Grimsby. She was identified as a vessel of heritage and historic importance to be matched by the Centre with an organisation interested in it's preservation. The National Fishing Heritage Centre in Grimsby subsequently hand the responsibility for Britannia over to the Mounts Bay Luggers Association. Subsequently she was restored both to her original name, Happy Return and her original configuration as a sailing lugger. You can read the full history here and I'm confident that you'll find it a worthwhile half hour!
There is a further lifeboat link here. The Happy Return was built in 1904 in Porthleven using money paid by subscription by the townsfolk of Folkestone to replace the lugger Good Intent. She had been wrecked in a storm which involved a heroic lifeboat rescue by the crew of the Folkestone Lifeboat. Read about it here.

Happy Return

Hi John
I don't think it would have been the naming ceremony. The Rother would have been long gone by the time the naming ceremony came round. At the naming ceremony the boat was dressed with code flags too, I'll email you some pics. I reckon this was one of the early launches to test the newly adapted slipway and boathouse. Probably before she even went on service.

I have to agree with DT. This was definitely taken on the day the RCB arrived on station. This event was covered by the local BBC News team, and the chap on the right of the Cox is holding up the boom mic.

7 Things You Should Stop Stressing About Right Now
Some days, the struggle is just all too real. From the moment you wake up to the time you finally decide to just call it a night and start over tomorrow, you feel like a bottled-up mess of stress and can't seem to let anything go. But we're here to remind you that your greatest power during a tough day lies in how you react to the things that are getting under your skin. Here are seven parts of those wrong-side-of-the-bed days that just aren't worth stressing over.
1. The Morning Workout You Skipped
Classic, right? Sometimes you even blame this choice (and the snooze button that followed it) for why your entire day now feels off kilter. And because you were the one who ultimately chose sleep over sweat, you sit there and scold yourself on loop. But what does this accomplish? Oh right, it just makes you feel worse. Give yourself permission to be human, forgive yourself and let it go. The gym will still be there tomorrow.
2. Being Late To Work
This one is especially difficult for punctual people to handle. Crashing into the office like a flustered mess is not the ideal way to kick off a workday. But you know what? Sometimes, shit just happens. New construction creates surprise traffic, train malfunctions cause delays, the list goes on. It doesn't serve you to let frustration fester over your tardiness as you rush to your desk chair. Just breathe and focus on being a productive and efficient employee when you get there.
3. Feeling Bored At Work
You might not think boredom can lead to stress, but it can certainly manifest a negative or cynical perspective that overshadows the rest of your day. So rather than sitting there growing agitated by your lack of interest in your tasks, power through them and use the spare time to daydream a little bit about something that fills you with purpose. Let your imagination shift your internal dialogue from things you know you don't want to do to things you do want to do.
4. The Happy Hour Plans You're Dreading
Sometimes, you just don't feel like your normal, social self. And that's entirely okay. But when those moods coincide with dinner or drink plans with your best friends, a strong sense of anxiety can start to swell inside you. So instead of growing more and more uncomfortable over the course of the day, be honest with yourself. Is this feeling one you can shake when you see your girls and get distracted? Or is it worth rescheduling with them so you don't risk killing everyone's vibe? Once you have that answer, adjust course accordingly. We promise — real friends will always understand.
5. All Of The Needs Of Your Friends
This one's for you, people pleasers. Most days, it's second nature to lean into and nurture the needs and requests of those you love most in life. But when you're already feeling off, you need to help you first before you even consider giving more of yourself to others. Adding more stress and anxiety to your plate today will only deplete you even further, so just don't go there. Establish your boundaries, kindly and respectfully offer to pitch tomorrow, and don't let yourself feel guilty about it.
6. The Number Of Likes On Your Latest Instagram Post
If you're already having one of those days, you probably shouldn't be posting on social media in the first place (hello, emotional rants). But you most definitely shouldn't be nursing your habit of constantly checking in to see how people in your networks are engaging with your posts or updates or statuses or whatever. Today, that doesn't matter. Only your mental well-being matters. So toss your phone into the other room and chill out with a good book instead. Getting sucked into an interesting plotline will be much more beneficial than falling down the rabbit hole of social media.
7. Your Struggle To Fall Asleep
You want this crappy day to end, yet your brain doesn't want to let it. So instead of trying harder and harder to relax, which you know never works, just let your body be awake. Keep reading that book, do some calming yoga stretches, try some lavender aromatherapy or write out your frustrations in your journal so they stop circling in your mind. You know that both sleep and a new day will come eventually, so there's no use in rushing the inevitable. Be in this moment with yourself, and shift your thinking from, "Wow, today sucked" to, "Wow, tomorrow is definitely going to be so much better."

The question was a clear true/false option: "Would you spend up to one hour for resolving a difference of 35 cents in your calculation?" The test was for a promotion to the management team in a company I worked for.
The obvious answer is "no" to spending so much time for an insignificant amount of money. That would be a foolish decision. The test included other questions evaluating the person's ability to make value judgments that would benefit the company.
On several occasions, Jesus was questioned about his practice of associating with people of less reputation and sinners. It was not seen as a wise decision for a person of his stature in society.
Jesus replied with the story of the shepherd who had one hundred sheep. When he lost one sheep, he left the 99 with someone and personally searched for the one lost sheep. You see, that's how God the Father handles every sinner who is lost.
But what an unwise and foolish decision. That shepherd risked the entire herd just to search for one. Bad management decision, but that's the heart of the Father. He values each person so much that he was willing to send his only Son to the earth to be tortured and murdered like a criminal. What a foolish decision!
It was this foolish decision that benefitted you and me as sinners in need of God's mercy. And it's this same decision that ought to drive us to see sinners from a different perspective. To God, every sinner is a highly valuable person.

Where We Went
Posted on February 15 2018 in travel
Last year my husband and I hit the road (air?) for a year of travel. Read on for an overview of the countries we visited!
It's overwhelming to even think about how to share the experience I've had over the last year. The people we've met, the food we've tasted, the landscapes we've walked through, and the cityscapes we saw… So I'm not going to think about it too much. ;)
This post is a wrap up of where we went, country by country. Some of the places we spent more time in, some less. Some we kept coming back to (yes, France, I'm talking about you).
I'll use this post as a place to collect links to my more detailed travel posts (see France for an example). So, if you're interested in hearing more about my travels, bookmark this post as the HUB for all my travel stories. I'll keep adding to it, little by little. And it
might will take some time. :)
Thanks to some excellent timing and Southwest miles we managed a couple of days in Havana, Cuba. We flew out of Denver, Colorado in the midst of a blizzard and arrived in sunny, humid Havana, Cuba.
Favorite memory: The music. Oh, my goodness. The music! People on street corners, in restaurants, tucked into bars, in the plazas—singing, strumming guitars, dancing… I think the vibrant beauty of the music stood out even more against the crumbling buildings.
Chile! We briefly visited Santiago, which was a really fun city to visit but spent most of our time trekking in Patagonia. We walked through some of the most stunning wilderness I've ever seen and spent the majority of our time sleeping in a tent.
Favorite memory: Watching guanacos in Parque Patagonia. After trekking for days, we holed up in the park and spent our days watching them—such an amazing experience!
After Chile, we stopped in Mendoza, Argentina for a shortish trip. Mostly we ate. ;)
Favorite memory: Getting cafés con leche and medialunas in the market. Yum!
We visited Spain twice on this trip. The first trip was about a month long and it was a whirlwind. Stops included Madrid, hill towns in Andalucia, Sevilla, and Basque Country. The second trip we spent entirely in Andalucia and stayed in a beautiful old house in a small town near Ronda.
Favorite memory: Walking through pastures and farmland in Andalucia. Or eating tapas… That's a tough one!
The majority of our time in Europe was spent in France. We found a great little town in the Haute-Alpes-de-Provence to stay in and used it as our base camp. It was a great way to explore the surrounding area, but we also checked out a couple of towns in the Pyrenees, towns along the Mediterranean, and the Grenoble area.
Favorite memory: Hiking through the Haute-Alpes-de-Provence. Eating baguettes!

United Kingdom
I have family and friends in the UK, so we visited both Great Britain and Scotland. After our visit to Scotland, I had the thought that all writers (or Tolkien fans) should visit.
Favorite memory: Walking past emerald green fields in Scotland.
We stayed a week in a rural village in Hungarian-speaking Romania, plus shorter stays in Bucharest and Brasov.
Favorite memory: Seeing the sunset over the village—the colors were amazing!
Our shortest trip was to Italy. We started in the Cinque Terre and ended in Parma.
Favorite memory: Walking along steep trails perched above the ocean, and picnicking on pesto and focaccia. Yum!
That's the (very brief) recap of the countries we visited during our year of travel. Check back here for links to travel stories (or just follow my blog!).
Have you visited any of these countries (or are they on your list)? Hop in the comments & tell me about it! I'd love to hear from you.

How exactly to write and finish an assessment when it comes to diploma work: framework, rules
Diploma is prepared, and it's really great! Is it possible to relax and obtain pleasure from life? Wait a minute! And do you have the ability to find an individual who should compose overview of the thesis? Well, then it's just a little early to rejoice. Learn about just what it is similar to to write an evaluation for the diploma (because many most likely you shall write it your self), and in addition where to find someone who signs it.
Who writes overview of the diploma work?
The reviewer is engaged in writing the review – a person by having a diploma (and also better – with a degree that is scientific into the specialty regarding the diploma project.
Attention: this may not be your supervisor. Also, for a review, you must not choose somebody who works together with him in the department that is same.
What are usually the one whom makes overview of the thesis? Ideally, it is a professional through the ongoing business in which you conducted the investigation for the thesis task. It could be the pinnacle for the enterprise or simply just a respected expert: a senior manager, deputy director, associate supervisor, etc.).
The task becomes more complicated if the work was created on the basis of theoretical works and books. In cases like this it is far better to seek advice from your systematic manager – he while using the wisdom and colossal experience inherent in him, and that's precisely how you need to ask him, help with choosing the best individual.
Which is why we offer the essential necessary data here so you your self can compose a qualified writeup on all norms and standards of the institution.
Exactly What should be the report about the diploma?
Before you begin writing an evaluation, you ought to work out how it will look. Here you will find the main features that a good review should have:
- Consistency in a single style;
- Appropriate design and structure that is clear
- option of a full analysis associated with the thesis project.
Keep in http://yourwriters.org mind: you, this is certainly, a reviewer, write perhaps not an essay rather than an assessment, which is described as a style that is free of. The review includes a structure that is clear. But the kind may be free.
Framework of this overview of the diploma
Frequently the review is written in free type. Nonetheless, there are a few points which are typical for writing this type of work. Here you will find the points that are main must be taken into consideration while preparing an evaluation for the diploma, together with instance it self:
- 1. The review should indicate the communication associated with the essence for the diploma to its absolute goal. So that the commission should be able to determine the amount of unique understanding of the graduate.
- 2. The task should describe the relevance of this issue and also the standard of its importance.
- 3. The review should gauge the amount of depth of work that the graduate has carried out.
- 4. The review should protect the degree to which it really is actual and possible to carry on with the diploma, that is, its value.
- 5. The review must be made correctly, with a regular presentation and appropriate style.
- 6. The unique aspects of the project should be indicated in this work.
- 7. If within the thesis you will find nuances (strengths and weaknesses) about that your known people of the commission ought to know, they need to undoubtedly be mentioned into the review.
- 8. The review suggests an assessment that is preliminary which deserves a diploma task.
- 9. The last minute associated with review is whether the pupil is worthy for the qualification honor, as well as the individual information associated with reviewer (complete name and title or medical amount of the reviewer).
Reviews of this work; mistakes
The work does not correspond to the topic, the tasks are not fulfilled, intermediate terms for the surrender of the chapters are missed, etc., the manager can write a negative review or write in the response "qualification is possible provided that the defense is successful" if, in the opinion of the supervisor.
Such wording straight away appeals to the eye associated with the State Attestation Commission and requires extra questions, and often a negative assessment of protection.
