A Good etext reader for the iPhoneAugust 17, 2008
It's called Bookshelf, and yes, it costs money. I found it worth the $10
It supports a wide range of formats including ASCII text, HTML, AportisDoc, unencrypted Mobipocket, rft & Word Docs (not docx).
I can access my Baen webscription account from it and download books directly as well as tapping their free etext library.
There is also a Java app that you can load on your computer in order to load books you already have from other sources.
So far, I'm really pleased. A good move by Baen to support this, since Mobipocket has been very quiet about exactly when they were going to produce an iPhone app.

At the moment only translation (ie. the X, Y, Z offset) is supported. From my limited testing, the host rotation seems to be applied to the individual scatter elements (ie. it is applied to the mesh being scattered rather than the scatter transforms as a whole), so changing this behavior may not be simple. Also - from what I could see, the ArchiCAD API is only allowing the access of the Up axis rotations, so you can get the spin angle of an object (and in theory a bunch of scatter transform) but I don't think you can get the vertical rotation (perhaps this is accessed via another method - I'm not sure). So in summary, I have implemented what I could with a day's effort, but implementing vertical rotations, would be a much bigger and more complex change, which I would be resistant to doing given there are other ways to do it (PhantomScatter, or simply rotate the Mesh and re-generate the scatter transform).Probably I am doing something wrong, but when I use a GS car object as a proxy host (this allows rotation vertically or horizontally), and change the vertical rotation of the object using object parameters, the scatter stays horizontal. Is this intended? It would be useful to rotate scatters in any direction.
I haven't coded anything specific to the surface overrides - and didn't test it with this feature - so I will be interested to hear how you go. The main complication was obtaining the materials for the ArchiCAD geometry. So be on alert for missing materials, etc.Is there anything we specifically need to be aware of with it, for example with respect to surface over ride settings etc?
Garquitectos, Archicad 20? How could you work with Octane Plugin in ArchiCAD 20? Did I miss something?
Following is the plugin installers for AC20. This is experimental - so pls do not use on production scenes (or make a backup first). There were many changes required to the plugin to get it to work with AC20, so expect some issues.
https://render.otoy.com/customerdownloa ... _64bit.exe
I'm sorry, but the installer builder I use only compiles to .EXE's, and not .MSI files. Regarding the plugin settings - these are contained in User\AppData\Local, so will not following you when you log into another workstation. Perhaps LogMeIn automatically copies these files for you? Ideally the plugin settings should have been stored in User\AppData\Roaming.Paul, I have another wish about the installation. We work with LogeMeIn, maybe you know it. We can roll out the softwares in operation, uninstall them, and so on. It works by the standalone, but we have some problems with the plugin. Somehow we can´t install it by our excellent tool. Could you please develop an msi-Package for the install-process? It would be really nice, if it was possible.
Yes, I was aware that the folder names change depending on the AC language. I think this is really an ArchiCAD issue - since it should have the same folder structure regardless of the language. I don't think there is anything I can do about this - sorry. The installer does not contain the smarts to determine the language version of AC installed.The second is the copy of the Plugin-folder under the local Visualisaton-folder. There are not so many language-versions of the ArchiCAD. Maybe Graphisoft can help you to have a list of the "Visualisation" folders. We have solved the copy with a simple batch-file.

Are you in need of cost-effective pest control services? If so, contact Whelan Pest Prevention today on 0800 678 5029 and enlist a member of our specialist team. For years, we've provided Hampshire pest control services which eradicate pests and prevent their return. Our services are highly effective and affordably priced. To see how we can help you, call us today.
It's never a pleasant experience coming home or arriving at work only to later discover that unwanted guests have overrun your home or business. Pests come in all shapes and sizes from crawling and flying insects to rodents and birds. There is a myriad of ways in which they can enter your property, and once they're inside, they can cause no end of issues for property owners in Hampshire. Pest control is the answer, and Whelan Pest Prevention are the company you need to call.
Here at Whelan Pest Prevention, we provide a reliable, affordably priced pest control service that is both prompt and effective. We can assist both domestic and commercial clients and can provide emergency call outs if required. As well as dealing with the immediate issue, we also cover preventative measures as part of our pest control. Hampshire customers can derive peace of mind that their property will remain free of pests for the foreseeable future.
Give us a call, and we can either pop around right away or arrange a more suitable time to visit your property. Our team are available seven days a week, so we're happy to work to your schedule and can usually respond with 24 hours of your call. Our pest controllers are fully equipped to provide pest control in Hampshire to tackle all manner of pests that fall under the following categories:
• Birds
• Rodents
• Crawling Insects
• Flying Insects
As adorable as they might be to some, rodents can be a major nuisance in properties as they have a tendency to chew through things such as telephone lines and power cables. As you would imagine, the latter can be a potential fire risk. They are also drawn to food sources and upon contact will contaminate any food items. As such, our Hampshire pest control team should be contacted the second you notice the presence of mice, rats, squirrels or moles in or around your property.
Crawling insects can cause no end of issues to furniture, and insects like bed bugs can also be an irritant to humans too. There's also the issue of food contamination to consider. So, if you suspect that your property has been infested with ants, booklice, carpet beetles, cockroaches or any other crawling insects, call our Hampshire pest control team today.
The most common issue associated with birds is their droppings which are highly acidic. When these land on buildings, they can eat away at the building materials causing extensive wear and tear in the process. As the best choice for pest control, Hampshire has to offer; our team will conduct a free property survey. We devise solutions that will deal with the issue at hand and prevent birds from perching or nesting on your building in the future.
The issue with flying insects is that not only can they be highly destructive to fabrics and other materials, but in the case of wasps, they can also pose a serious health risk. If a nest has been located, it should be approached with caution. Do not attempt to handle the situation yourself as only our treatments will be fully effective in dealing with the issue.
Established more than 15 years ago, Whelan Pest Prevention are widely regarded as one of the leading pest control specialists in the UK. We operate across the country providing services to both domestic and commercial clients as well as advice on ways to mitigate and control pest infestations. When it comes to reliability and affordability, you won't find a better alternative to our Hampshire pest control team.
We provide you with a single point of contact, free surveys and customer service excellence for all client transactions. Our exceptional work ethic and competitive pricing make us the go-to company for pest control in Hampshire. Whatever the nature of your issue, you can expect long-lasting results delivered by our highly skilled and fully certified team.
To find out more about our Hampshire pest control service, call Whelan Pest Prevention today on 0800 678 5029.

The patchwork nature of wireless spectrum makes traveling or moving a device to other carriers a bit of a nightmare, but a new web tool called WillMyPhoneWork could help you figure it all out in just a few clicks. Simply select your phone model, carrier, and hit the search button to see which bands match up.
This isn't only limited to Android phones, but that's obviously the bulk of what you'll find listed in WillMyPhoneWork. Start with the device maker, and then select the model. You'll often have to pick a sub-model because carriers versions tend to have different bands. Choose the country and carrier to finish your setup and see the results. There's a section for 2G, 3G, and 4G that will tell you which bands the device will support. Neat, right?
This is only about the hardware support—some devices are SIM locked, so it's up to you how you get around that. Usually you can get an unlock code from the carrier, but there are other methods too. WillMyPhoneWork could be really useful if you're traveling or planning to get an unlocked phone online and want to make sure it'll work on your carrier before placing the order.
The creator is working on adding more devices all the time, but the selection is already rather robust. The only thing I'd really like to see added to the functionality is the ability to see a full list of bands for the device or carrier. That could help guide you in the right direction if you've got multiple options.

Hear the 2017 Passat Roar with the R-Line Edition
The Volkswagen Passat is a nice upscale sedan that many families in the US rely on to get them around each year. It has a sporty look and decent performance, but it's in no way a sports car. It's not something that you would think about bringing to the track, and in the grand-scheme of things it's not that fast of a car. That's fine for most people, but for an enthusiast that wants a bit more out of his vehicles, the standard Passat probably isn't going to do it. That's why Volkswagen is releasing the Passat R-Line. It's a more potent version of the Passat with plenty of power packed under the hood thanks to a turbo-charger. This car handles better, is faster and overall is just more fun to drive around.
Added Power
Thanks to the turbocharger, the Passat R-Line offers 170 HP and about 184 lb.-ft. of torque. It comes packed with a turbo-four and relies on a decent sized air intake in order to push the necessary air to run the unit effectively. This increased power makes the R-Line noticeably faster and more enjoyable to drive around. When you add in the top quality low-lying suspension system, and the highly precise electric-mechanical hybrid steering setup, you get a car that's a blast to drive around, and that can handle even track driving if you really wanted to take it there.
It's Affordable
You would think for such performance improvements you would have to pay out significantly for the Passat R-Line, but that's not really the case. Instead you'll only pay a small amount more than the base price of the vehicle, and you'll probably be able to pick up this performance sedan brand-new for less than 25,000. That's really affordable for a sporty sedan, and it's probably one of the main reasons that buyers are going to be looking closely at it.
Comfortable Interior
To top it all off this Passat comes with a relatively upscale interior. It's fitted with leatherette seats that are heated up front. It comes with R-Line badging and a pretty capable 6-speaker media system complete with sat radio, and a USB connection for app support. This sedan feels fully modern and is a pretty comfortable ride that looks luxurious within. There is a lot to like about the Passat R-Line, and if you want to go fast it's really one of your best options.
If you're in the market for a new sedan, and you want something that offers more performance than a stock Passat, the R-Line just makes sense. It doesn't come at a huge premium, it looks and handles nicer than the base Passat, and it's a joy to drive around. What's not to like about it?

i am porting a vs2010 project on windows y to a vs2017 project on
windows 10. going smoothly until an ado connection to an msaccess
db that worked on vs2010 does not work on vs2017.
the issue: in order to open the ms access db with ado i construct the
db name as _bstr_t DBName = _T("c:\\SomeDir\\SomeDB.accdb") and use it to further buld a ConnectionString that works under VS2010 but not under VS2017.
I debug both pgms on diff computers. when I observe DBName in the debugger with VS2010 i see "c:\SomeDir\SomeDB.accdb" and i can open the ms accesss db. when I observe DBName in the debugger with VS2017 i see "c:\\SomeDir\\SomeDB.accdb" and i cannot open the ms accesss db.
why is VS2017 not displaying the same values in the debugger and worse why is it not opening the ms access db with well settled code???
as a side note, the use of "\" in the file names is performing as it
should under both VS versions.
appreciate any insight you have. would even consider putting myself at your disposal to participate in a full frontal assault on MS if this is more of their stupid %$#*&. just kidding.
thx - j

I first heard about Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar some time in 2009 from my photographer friends. They took awesome photos of the place and I can't help but feel a twinge of envy. So I've been wanting to travel there since then. However, I didn't have the means to travel to Bataan during that time.
I was fortunate to have the opportunity to experience Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar in Bagac, Bataan with my classmates from UP Diliman and some visiting students from Ehime University, Japan last January 13. Our Bataan day trip included visits to the Mt. Samat National Shrine or the Dambana ng Kagitingan (Shrine of Valor) and Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar.
I consider Las Casas as a theme park that showcases the Philippines during the Spanish and American colonial periods. The resort is basically a village full of heritage houses transplanted from different parts of the Philippines. Some neglected heritage houses can now be found in the resort including the controversial Alberto House.
The great thing about Las Casas is that the heritage houses found inside aren't just for display. They are real houses that guests can rent! Some of the houses also serve as museums that house artifacts from the "old Philippines."
Las Casas also hosts regular heritage tours of the whole resort so guests can make sense of the different houses and structures. The heritage tour lasts for around two hours. But the tour was highly interactive and entertaining. During the tour, I was able to try using different household items in old Filipino homes like the charcoal iron. Of course, I also learned about some secrets and interesting tidbits about the houses and their owners. I will never forget about the intricate alipin (slave) system that was in place in the past.
My favorite spot in the resort is the bridge leading to the beachfront. A lot of scenes from the movie El Presidente were shot on this bridge. I love walking down this bridge while feeling the cool sea breeze. I also love walking on cobblestone streets!
TIP: Wear comfortable slip-on shoes during the tour. Las Casas has cobblestone streets and you'll be asked to remove your footwear when entering the heritage houses. Bring a hat or an umbrella, too.
There's nothing to rave about the beach in Bagac, but you can actually see the Bataan Nuclear Powerplant from Las Casas.
I would love to go back to Las Casas and stay there for a few days! I would definitely bring period-appropriate clothes when I return!

text: Although there is a considerable demand for cell culture protocols from invertebrates for both basic and applied research, few attempts have been made to culture neural cells of crustaceans. for adaptation to neural cells from other arthropods and even other groups of invertebrates. (Crustacea, Decapoda), because not only we have been using the visual system of this species as a model for studies of neuronal and glial cells (Allodi et al. 1999; Chaves da Silva et al. 2010, 2013; Corra et al. 2008; da Silva and Allodi 2000, 2001, 2004; Fusco et al. 2014; Hollmann et al. 2015; Miguel et al. 2002, 2005, 2007), but because in adult decapods neurogenesis occurs in the optic lobe (Schmidt 1997). The visual system of consists of a retina with photoreceptors projecting to the optic lobe, which is composed of neurons and glial cells constituting the (La), the external medulla (EM) and the internal medulla (IM) (Corra et al. 2004; da Silva et al. 2003). Decapod crustaceans are excellent models because of their well-organized nervous system, attention-grabbing behavior patterns ranging from reflexes to complex social interactions (Sandeman et al. 1992) and ease of handling. To our knowledge, few protocols for nervous-tissue culture have been reported for adult or developing decapod crustaceans (Chun-Lei et al. 2003; Mitsuhashi 2002; Stepanyan et al. 2004; Toullec 1999; Xu E.coli polyclonal to GST Tag.Posi Tag is a 45 kDa recombinant protein expressed in E.coli. It contains five different Tags as shown in the figure. It is bacterial lysate supplied in reducing SDS-PAGE loading buffer. It is intended for use as a positive control in western blot experiments et al. 2010). In this study we developed a protocol that provides a basis for culturing neurons and glial cells from the visual system of the adult mangrove crab in order to facilitate experiments to analyze the contribution of extrinsic and intrinsic factors to the control of cell proliferation and differentiation. We believe that the method we describe here for maintaining neurons and glial cells from an AC220 reversible enzyme inhibition adult decapod in culture can be adapted to other arthropods and even to other groups of invertebrates. The difference between our culture protocol and other cell culture descriptions is AC220 reversible enzyme inhibition usually that ours includes the isolation of neuronal elements from visual system of the crab and the characterization of cell populations by cell biology methods. Using conventional light microscopy, immunofluorescence with specific molecular markers and AC220 reversible enzyme inhibition scanning electron microscopy (SEM), we described the different cell types. The markers used were: glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), glutamine synthetase (GS), and 2,3-cyclic-nucleotide 3-phosphodiesterase (CNPase) for characterizing glial cells. For neuronal progenitors we used nestin, for young neurons, tubulin isotype III (III-tub) and for characterizing mature neurons, we used neuronal nuclei (NeuN), S-100 -subunit (S-100A) and medium neurofilament chain (NF-160). Additionally, since we developed a protocol for culturing nervous system cells and therefore needed to determine whether the cells were dividing properly, we used a marker for proliferating cells (Ki-67). Materials and methods Animals Healthy adult male intermolt specimens of (n?=?20; with carapace lengths between 7.5 and 8.5?cm and weight between 143 and 163?g) were obtained from mangroves in Itambi, Niteri, Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil (S-224359.99, W-425800.00). All procedures adopted within this scholarly research, including usage of the spot that the pets had been caught, had been conducted under permit in the Instituto Brasileiro perform Meio Ambiente e dos Recursos Naturais Renovveis (IBAMA, Certificate #14689-1/IBAMA/2008, animal-use allow #2440408) and by the Ethics Payment on Research Pets from the Centro de Cincias da Sade, Universidade Government perform Rio de Janeiro (process DHEICB 005). The crabs from the types had been preserved in aquaria, in continuous conditions (drinking water salinity 20, temperature ranges from 25 to 28?C, 12/12-h light/dark routine, and fed with little bits of the mangrove types for 5?min. The pellet was resuspended in 2000 L of lifestyle moderate in the Falcon pipe and mixed carefully to totally dissociate the cells. Next, 10?mL of lifestyle moderate was added as well as the cells were plated on lifestyle meals (approximately 105 cells/mL per lifestyle dish), in the existence or lack of the above-mentioned substrates (500 L each). The cells had been harvested in the lifestyle moderate for 7?times, in 28?C as well as the civilizations were observed in the initial and on the seventh time after the ex – procedure. We remember that CO2 isn't needed for crustacean cell civilizations (Chun-Lei et al. 2003; Mitsuhashi 2002). Cell viability was motivated using the Trypan blue (0.4?%) dye exclusion check (data not proven). Culture meals and moderate Cells AC220 reversible enzyme inhibition had been cultured with Leibovitzs L-15 moderate with.

A man was arrested on Wednesday after allegedly going on an anti-Semitic rant during a flight from Washington, D.C., to Atlanta.
Atlanta police told USA Today that they arrested David Toaff, 37, at the Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport and that information they gathered indicates that the man called for Jewish people to identify themselves on the flight.
"Preliminary information indicates that while in flight … a male was yelling, asking Jewish people on board to identify themselves and making remarks about bombings to passengers aboard the aircraft," Officer Lisa Bender told the newspaper.
Authorities were waiting for Toaff upon the plane's arrival. A Delta Air Lines spokesperson said in a statement to USA Today that police were on scene due to the "customer's behavior."
A passenger on the flight, Jordan Dale, who is a production assistant at Hill TV, recorded Toaff's encounter with the police.
Toaff, who is wearing a Jewish prayer shawl, can be seen asking officers why he was being apprehended and that he's "not a bad person."
"What did I do wrong?" Toaff asks as a man in the background calls him a "Nazi."
Later in the clip, Toaff attempts to run away from the officers.
"Today a man on my plane went on an anti-Semitic tirade and demanded 'all Jews raise their hands; so he could 'identify them,'" Dale tweeted.

"Later, during the arrest he protested. Incredible work by Atlanta police."
Authorities told USA Today that Toaff was arrested for "continuing the disturbance" and resisting arrest.
He was taken into custody and later charged with obstruction and disorderly conduct.

Pohl, Martin – Sportsbar, New York Part 1
Sportsbar, New York Part 1
18 years into this reviewing gig and I can still get baffled by a comic. It's what keeps me going, folks! Long time readers should know by know that "baffled" is not synonymous with "disgusted;" it's much more likely to mean "delighted but confused." This one starts off with a long introduction that is damned clever and funny. Takes the reader on quite a journey before even getting to the comic. That's after a table of contents that I almost used as the sample page because of its sheer absurdity: chapter 1 is on page 1, chapter 2 is on page 2, all the way to chapter 28 on page 28. And both the pages and the chapters are numbered on every page! Boggles the mind. Anyway! This is a series of single page strips, which built up into a decent narrative when all was said and done. Initially it seemed like it would be a series of mildly amusing punchlines, but then things got weird. Our heroes, theoretically, are two rabbits who have some anger (and boredom) issues. They watch a show called Two Morbid Pigeons (which is basically like watching themselves on television), suspect that they're being watched by some agency (and they're right), and sometimes there are humans involved. In their own strips, that is. Unless the rabbits have become human? Nah, I'm probably overthinking it. It won me over by the end, that's for sure. $5

A few things have to be said: (a) Australian cricketers do behave badly on the field, (b) Sunil Gavaskar was wrong in commenting on David Hookes, (c) Gavaskar was right to talk about the behaviour of Australian cricketers, (d) This has nothing to do with India's performance (or the lack of it).
We have talked about this quite a bit on this blogsite.
Rohit Brijnath writes very eloquently about this saga in The Hindu.
There are some significant cultural differences at play here. An Aussie would think that it is ok to bark at you on the field and then have a drink afterwards. They can live with that form of schizophrenic compartmentalisation. Subcontinental teams cannot seem to live with it. Gavaskar cannot. And Australians cannot expect other teams to be naturally comfortable with that schizophrenic compartmentalisation. And therein lies part of the problem.
Alan Border says that the Aussies play "hard but fair". The rest of the world perhaps doesn't' see it that way! Perhaps the Australians are just misunderstood cricketers? Who knows.
Either way Gavaskar's point is valid…
The Australian's are the most penalised team in World Cricket.
So, either the rest of the World has to start to understand them more or the Australians need to learn to tone down.
The Australians aren't the only grumpy team going around. The South Africans come close, but having watched the Aussies in action over a long period of time, I can safely say that the Australians are the ugliest team going around.
They are currently in a huge war-of-words with The South Africans.
The captain started that war of words. The captain should set a tone. Not drag it down. If the captain can't control a malaise — and indeed, there is one, in my view — then, he shouldn't be on the park.
But let us pause to think about the Australians. I've written earlier about how the Australians do not like to receive as well as they dish it out. Let us think about some of the most hated players in Australia. If one were asked to name the three most hated international cricketers in Australia, you won't be wrong if you came up with (a) Arjuna Ranatunga, (b) Sourav Ganguly, (c) Greame Smith. Some cricketers that come close to the above list include Manoj Prabhakar, Sunil Gavaskar (post-retirement), Andre Nel, et al. I'd like to predict that Sree Sreesanth will be on this list soon.
These players give back as good as they receive. They use that 4th dimension (some legal and some not so legal) to get further ahead. They are as Aussie (or perhaps even more Aussie) than the Aussies themselves! Yet, they are the most hated! Isn't this a strange hypocricy? Perhaps the Aussie cricketers hate themselves (and what they do) so much that they instinctively hate anyone who does it as well — or better — than themselves? I am not a psychologist. So I am not about to indulge in needless amateur psychology here.
Ponting says that often champions are hated. Wrong. The West Indies were not hated. Roger Federer is not hated. Tiger Woods is not hated.
In an earlier article, I wrote:
To be "a sport" is to be fair, even-handed, respectful and level-headed in things that you do in the sporting field — and these days, out of it too. Impact comes not merely from the number of cups that one has in ones trophy cabinet. History differentiates great sporting teams from good ones on the basis of how the team played and not merely on how many cups the team won. Long lasting success comes only if the 'means' and the 'ends' are balanced. The end rarely justifies the means.
A true champion (and almost everyones' sporting hero), will be a Roger Federer or a Tiger Woods or a Sachin Tendulkar. They enjoy their sport. They play fair. They play hard. They play strong. They dig deep when their backs are to the wall. They query bad calls. But they get on with it. They have fun. They leave an impression. They are modest. They are level-headed. They are geniuses. They are also as good on the field as they are out of it. They are icons. They are role-models.
We like them not just because they win. That is a fact. They just do! We like them because of the way they win.
I will applaud when Federer or Tiger Woods or Tendulkar win (for they are true champions). I will also empathise with them when they lose.
However, I will continue to rejoice (along with the whole world, perhaps?) when Australia loses. The difference is that they are champions of the game (temporary). They are not champions of the sport (permanent).
So it does depend on ones outlook. Do we want temporary success or permanent glory?
May be it is time for the Aussies to ponder why almost the whole cricketing world dislikes them. If they believe the world hates them because they keep winning, they need to look at Federer and Tiger Woods (habitual winners who are loved) of the world and learn a bit.
Ponting and Cricket Australia need a re-think.
Does Gavaskar have a right to comment about all of this? In my view he does. He did play the game in the "right spirit". So, he is not being "self righteous". Ian Chappell commenting about the "spirit of cricket" would be self-righteous pontification. Gavaskar has earned his stripes, in my view.
Gavaskar's method of retort — the mentioning of Hookes — was silly. He did cross the line there. But kudos to him for bringing Australian bad behaviour up — again!

Being Responsive is Most Important for Real Estate Agents
The California Association of Realtor just released the 2013 Home Buyer Survey Report and it highlighted a significant bone of contention that clients have with their agents — lack of responsiveness and communication. Speed of communication, method of communication, and ineffective communication were three of the top five reasons for dissatisfaction with an agent.
Here are the top five:
- Slow response (82%)
- Ineffective/inefficient communication (48%)
- Undesirable communication methods (43%)
- Not aggressive in negotiation (47%)
- Showed homes unlikely to buy (2%)
We polled our agents here at Everest Realty and found some ways they try to make themselves more available to clients. Although you can get back to everyone as quickly as they might like here is some advice from our experts that might help new agents.
- I try to always include my cell phone in my communications and advertisements and encourage people to text me. Also having me emails come directly to my phone is a huge plus. Having my whole office with me at all times makes it easier to get back to people right away.
Terry Mrochko
- As soon as your phone pings respond! Anytime an email, voice-mail — anything comes through check it. At least always look at what it is because there is nothing worse than telling someone, "I didn't get your message" even if you don't get back to them right away.
Kathy Archambault
- There is a lot of technology you can use to get back to people right away. There are some programs that give a text message response when a voice-mail comes in and things like Google voice have helped us all out here. To make my emails are okay, I always read them out loud before hitting send.
Alisa Shuster
So here is some advice from our office, but we're sorry to say that it's the same old story. Being responsive to your clients is one of the most important skills for an agent. Keeping up with technology will help and some agents even use social media as a quick way to communicate. Communication skills are important for anyone in the workforce, but being responsive and not letting that call go to voice-mail is especially important for us in real estate.

So the article linked below is about how computational linguistic PhDs have created a program to scan and understand what's being said on the web. That "finger on the pulse" that has so much exciting potential. Of course this implementation is consumeristic and has a "brand passion index" built into it, but I still feel the "wow" thinking about how this type of approach could be used to look at educational issues, health trends and so much more.

Latest "Upskirt" Outrage = Prosecutor Screw Up (Again)
July 28,2016 (Fault Lines) — "Loophole" is a word that drives criminal defense attorneys up the wall, along with "technicality." Thanks to Nancy Grace and her imitators, pretty much any time a defense attorney wins on any legal issue (such as a suppression of evidence when the police officer testifies that he stopped the defendant's car because the bumper sticker was off center), it's because the shady defense lawyer found a loophole to let the evildoer off on a technicality. Never mind that the technicality is also a "constitutional right" that the police, the prosecutor, the defense attorney, and the judge are all sworn to uphold…but this is not one of those cases.
There are also cases where the prosecutor overreaches and charges something that doesn't fit the facts, like the Oklahoma drunken rape case or the Fourtin case in Connecticut. Cases like that are a little bit different, as the prosecutor could have secured a conviction but got carried away by the circumstances and lets his reach exceeds his grasp by charging a more serious offense than warranted by the facts…but this is not one of those cases.
Then there are some cases where the prosecutor just screws the pooch, and a defendant (more specifically, his attorney) exploits the mistake and wins. I had a case once where my client was charged with resisting arrest, but Missouri law draws a distinction between "resisting arrest" and "resisting detention." The prosecutor called the detaining officer (not the arresting officer), who could testify neither to the resistance nor to the arrest. And so my client walked. This is one of those cases.
The Georgia Court of Appeals recently released a decision that overturned the conviction of a truly sick puppy. Essentially, supermarket employee Brandon Ray Gary snuck up on a female shopper, stuck his camera phone under her skirt, and took a picture. That description took 22 words, but in lieu of another 978, here's a picture.
Gary was charged with violating Georgia's invasion of privacy statute, which reads in its relevant part:
It shall be unlawful for […] any person, through the use of any device, without the consent of all persons observed, to observe, photograph, or record the activities of another which occur in any private place and out of public view[.]
The case turned on the definition of the words "private place." The defense position was that in the context of the statute, "place" meant some sort of fixed physical location apart from human body, such as a room or building; the state's position was that "private place" covered the area under the victim's skirt. The dissent, consulting the same dictionary as the majority, noted that a secondary definition of "place" was
a particular area or spot in or on a larger body, structure, or surface; an area on the skin; etc.
The majority went with the more restrictive definition, pointing out that different subsections of the same statute forbade "the record[ing] of a private conversation of another which shall originate in any private place;" and "Any person to go on or about the premises of another or any private place." Reasoning that the meaning of "private place" had to be consistent across subsections, the majority held that since the upskirting happened in a grocery store, the conviction failed on the "private place" element.
The majority wasn't happy about it, stating
In closing, we note that it is regrettable that no law currently exists which criminalizes Gary's reprehensible conduct. Unfortunately, there is a gap in Georgia's criminal statutory scheme, in that our law does not reach all of the disturbing conduct that has been made possible by ever-advancing technology. The remedy for this problem, however, lies with the General Assembly, not with this Court.
Which is exactly, 100% correct, both as to the problem and how to fix it. And the Lege is on it, with a state senator promising to correct the problem in the next legislative session. This is exactly how the system is supposed to work.
That said, the whole thing probably could have been avoided if the prosecutor had charged Gary under the correct subsection of the same law:
(7) [It shall be unlawful for] any person Any person to commit any other acts of a nature similar to those set out in paragraphs (1) through (6) of this Code section which invade the privacy of another.
True enough, as subsection 7 is written, it's vulnerable to a constitutional vagueness challenge, meaning it doesn't put the defendant on notice as to what specific conduct is prohibited. That would have been a tougher sell, though, as it would be hard for the defendant to argue that he thought sticking his phone under a woman's skirt was A-OK.
Just like sexual assault is still illegal in Connecticut and Oklahoma, upskirt photography is still illegal in Georgia. Hopefully the prosecutor doesn't make this mistake again before the law changes.

The role of a Health and Safety professional has changed over the decades. Like many business functions, such as Marketing and HR, technology is changing the face of the day-to-day; giving Health and Safety professionals more visibility and control than ever before.
The days of paper processes and logbooks for the entire Health and Safety process are, thankfully, on their way out. In their place, we're seeing more cloud-based, multi-device platforms available, that can make a Health and Safety pro's job a whole lot easier to manage. But, surprisingly, not everyone is on board just yet.
To get an expert view on the evolution of the Health and Safety professional, we spoke to Richard Byrne, Group Health and Safety Director at Travis Perkins plc.
Richard is a vocal advocate for technology adoption in the Health and Safety function, so we couldn't think of anyone better to share their views on the future of the Health and Safety function, with regards to technology.
Over to you, Richard!
I remember being given a laptop in one of my first roles in Health and Safety, around 20 years ago. A heavy, grey lump of a thing with voice recognition that didn't work and a lengthy wait to even get it started up. It was more of a hindrance to the job than a help.
Fast forward to today, I could never have anticipated how technology would have impacted my job. In a good way.
Overseeing a Group with over 2,000 branches and 28,000 employees, nothing can be left to chance. This means proactively managing risk, sharing visibility of Health and Safety matters with all the right people at the right time, and building a culture of accountability when it comes to their own, and their colleagues' health and safety.
At Travis Perkins, we've found that technology is intrinsic to building that culture and after adopting Notify, we've found that near-miss reports have increased four-fold, versus our previous off-the-shelf solution.
Technology has made us more efficient, able to interrogate data and identify trends, risks and solutions, as well as helping us put Health and Safety literally in the hands of every one of our colleagues, thanks to their incident reporting app.
Using the app has empowered our workforce to report incidents and near-misses in a way that is second nature to most people, as it takes as little time as ordering a takeaway from their smartphone device. For us as a Health and Safety function, this 'on the ground' visibility is crucial in helping us maintain and honour the principles of one of our Cornerstones of Keeping People Safe.
And it doesn't stop at incident reporting. We've found that technology has helped with eLearning, for example, making it more engaging for colleagues to learn about Health and Safety throughout the organisation. Apps like game-based learning platform, Kahoot, have been a welcome change to more traditional "paper-to-pen" training methods; again making the most of a device that the average person spends 24 hours per week on – their smartphone.
For me, using health and safety technology helps me make the case to drive business change, showing things such as accident frequency rates to highlight where our issues may be, so we can act on them right away.
From a business point of view, better management of risk through technology can also result in fewer sick days due to workplace incidents, and helps staff to realise how seriously we take this as an organisation; both of which have positive commercial benefits.
Another benefit of technology, and not just in the reporting/management tool sense, is that technology can allow for better collaboration and less time spent "on the road". For example utilising Google Docs and Hangouts within our function has been a huge benefit to myself and my team, allowing us frequent contact with divisional managers and multiple sites, without extensive travel. This helps reduce the cost to the business.
Any forward-thinking Health and Safety professional should be able to make a business case, so having all of the data at your disposal to do a good job is of crucial importance to making that case.
Technology isn't something to be feared by Health and Safety practitioners. The crux of the job will always remain the same, but the media we use to transmit and receive information regarding H&S will continue to adapt over time.
For example, the most recent Apple iWatch has the ability to know when the wearer has fallen. It can send an alert to a control desk or contact emergency services on behalf of the wearer. This could be a huge leap for industries and companies where lone workers form part of the business. The tech part isn't replacing the human, it's just making the process more efficient.
Naturally, there are some slight negatives to using technology, but only in that the rate of change is now so fast that many may struggle to keep up with it.
We've found, luckily, that using Notify has alleviated this problem and allowed us to completely configure the tool to fit what we need, plus the ongoing relationship we have with the team has enabled us to share intelligence that informs the future roadmap for the platform.
So is the future of Health and Safety tech-centric? I'd have to say it is.
As practitioners we can embrace the change, look to the future and be more effective as a result, or we can reject technology for as long as possible, to the detriment of visibility, accountability and engagement.
I know which I'd rather choose!
We'd like to say a huge thank you to Richard Byrne for sharing his insight and views on Technology in Health and Safety with us. Should you wish to discuss your needs ahead of the New Year, get in touch for a demo and 14-day free trial of Notify.

Sony is moving forward on a sequel to its 2015 family frightfest, closing deals to bring back director Rob Letterman and writer Darren Lemke.
Goosebumps, while not a massive hit, was a solid performer for the studio, generating $80 million domestically and another $77 million internationally on a budget of $58 million. The pic also has performed well in home entertainment circles.
The movie was the climax of an 18-year journey to adapt the best-selling book series by R.L. Stine, which was first set up at Fox in 1998 before movie to Sony in 2008. One of the keys of cracking the adaptation included making Stine a character and tackling not just one story but populating the film with a host of his horror creations.
Jack Black portrayed Stine in Goosebumps. The goal is to have him return for the sequel.

Love is love regardless of race, religion, skin color, or any other extenuating factor. As proven by a Filipino surfer and a Dutch woman. The Dutch woman named Lisa Verwei and a Filipino surfer named Roger Casugay got the attention of netizens because of their difference in terms of race, color.
The photos of the two, while they were in an eatery in Samar while being sweet to each other, went viral. It's no surprise that expats find love here in the Philippines in fact according to a survey of 14,400 expats in 195 countries conducted by InterNations, one in ten expats moved to be with their partner or for other reasons related to love.
With the Philippines landing on the third spot in the top ten places where expats fall in love with a local. But not all people support these interracial relationships, with some earning the ire and scrutiny of people around them, Lisa and Roger nevertheless were also subject to such scrutiny.
But the couple seemed to pay them no heed as they had no qualms in showing off their love for each other in public.
This is evident in a photo of the mixed-race couple vacationing in Calbayog, Samar that Facebook user shared. The couple was enjoying their time in the province when their bus ceased to work. As the bus stopped the couple decided to spend some time on a restaurant owned by Migs Cano.
After seeing how affectionate the two were to each other she narrates in Facebook post "Costumer namin sila kanina. Ang sweet nila sobra. At ramdam ko na mahal na mahal nila ang isat isa," she even gives words of encouragement to the two in her Facebook post, saying "Just be happy and stay in love. You look good together because people who understand see the love," The love story of the two later featured in an episode of KMJS.

Has your week been bold and beautiful? Did you make belly-rubbing an Olympic event? Did you come home with a new designer face? Did you wonder what B&B 2018 would be like in an alternate universe? These and more situations faced the Forrester-Logan-Spencer-Spectra-Avant clan this week!
Here it is, Scoopers! We made it to 2018, and this is my first official column for it. New progressive lenses to get used to in seeing my laptop screen, and a new Hope Logan to get used to on my TV screen. This is usually also the time of year where I dust off my crystal ball and look into a B&B of my envisioning for the twelve months ahead.
Won't be devoting a whole column to it because I've been busy preparing the eBook of I, Samantha, Take This Mortal, Darrin for release on Tuesday, but I still have plenty of bold and beautiful ideas. Let's Scoop about it!
What is it about Januarys and people smearing their blood on things in response to Bill's actions? Eight years ago, when Bill had control of Forrester, Ridge cut his hand on a Spencer award and pulled a bloody version of Lady Gaga's Applause video to protest Bill's presence. Now Liam crushed his necklace and wiped plasma on his pop to protest Still. Not like Quinn to make such chintzy jewelry!
Also, what is it about Januarys and Hope coming home? In 2010, the I'm-really-supposed-to-be-eight Hope emerged from the SORAS pod in the form of Kim Matula, nearly getting raped by a photographer and crying about Ridge calling her creation a stain on the family name before settling into five years of Liam-chasing. Now, Annika Noelle steps into the role, her Hope apparently ready to start afresh. More about that later.
I'm really dubious about Hope being back. I guess, after going through several incarnations of Leffy/Lope from 2010-2013 and a few cycles of Lope/Hott from 2013-2014, I'm not excited about getting on that particular marry-go-round again. I like Annika's Hope so far; I "hope" she'll get something different to do this time besides bounce between the Spencer boys or battle another female for one of them.
I was really surprised to see Katie offering a shoulder to Steffy. Of course, that wouldn't have been necessary had Steffy not left her paternity test results out twice. Smooth move, Ex-Lax! But this isn't the first time Steffy has bent Katie's ear. After Steffy lost Liam's baby in 2013, she ultimately confided in Katie that a subsequent botched D&C had left her barren.
There's been talk of Steffy's pregnancy being the stuff of miracles, but the show kinda forgot she had an experimental procedure done in Europe four years ago to reverse her barrenness. So, having a bun in the oven again shouldn't be a big deal. Anyway, Katie and Steffy are inexplicably tied together over Bill nearly leaving Katie for Steffy, but I suppose by now Katie has moved on enough that she doesn't hate Steffy for it anymore.
Over at Spencer, Liam and his bandaged hand were packing hurriedly to avoid Bill. Should have done that overnight, but then Wyatt couldn't have come in to find his bro in a decidedly dejected state. I always say this: I get much more out of Liam and Wyatt bonding than I do their fighting over women. When Liam finally admitted their dad had done him dirty with Steffy, Wyatt was amazingly compassionate. Go, Wyatt!
I don't recall ever seeing Liam break down in tears before, but Wyatt held his sobbing brother; awww! Bill broke the sibling spell, insisting that Liam return to Steffy and not make the mistake Bill had in not being there to raise his boys. Last week, Bill said his father abused him -- when did that happen? Before Bill Sr. was seen doting on Caroline following the show's 1987 premiere? Some history got rewritten there, methinks.
Bill claimed readiness to accept bullets, but despite all his tears and howling "What have I done?", I don't think the Dollah is all that sorry. When Liam advised Wyatt to likewise jump the Spencer ship, Bill barked, "Don't put your brother in the middle!" I'm sorry, what? Like you didn't do exactly that, making Liam and Wyatt your right-hand men and then forcing Wyatt to side with you over Spectra's demolition? Girl, you tried it!
Hearing Bill had slept with Steffy, Wyatt found something he'd been missing for months -- his balls. Wyatt flamed his father like he was posting in a late '90s chat group. I liked Bill explaining the Still stats from before Wyatt came to town; when Bill said of Steffy, "I loved her first", Wyatt fired off with "What the hell is wrong with you?" Wyatt wasn't co-signing Bill's BS this time. He was standing with Liam. He was walking out!
While Wyatt didn't really end up walking out, or at least pressed pause on it, Bill's words about Steffy made me feel as if what we're seeing is a full circle moment that took over eight years to happen. Bill and Steffy were a thing, wrongly; Steffy only ran to Liam after he saved her from drowning in a bathtub...five seconds after Bill had dumped her. Now Steam is over because of Still. Should it have been Still all along?
Next came Katie, who gloriously reminded Bill that she had been on the losing end of Still and called him out because "over and over again, you sacrifice the things you love for what you want." Oh, yeah. Katie knew Bill had always wanted Steffy, and now everyone was paying the price for his pent-up passion. The show is so much richer when it honors its history like this and builds current story out of past events we witnessed.
After a brief visit with Steffy, Wyatt rushed to Katie, who also seemed in need of thanks-I-needed-that sex. You know, because finding out a loved one's marriage is toast always puts me in the mood. Watie then did a weird dance around each other, trying not to let on that they knew about Still. Not sure what the point was, but their afterplay included a long dissertation on whether or not Liam and Steffy's marriage would survive.
Hope coming back already stirs up memories of Leffy/Lope, when characters all over the canvas filled episodes talking about one couple's romantic travails. I "hope" we're not in for a reboot of that particular practice. Meanwhile, Liam stormed out of Spencer and nearly ran down Sally Spectra! Hey! Where's she been since Thanksgiving? Visiting Shirley, Saul, and Darlita in the apartments they don't have?
Maybe Sally came to Spencer to find out how the rebuilding and relocation of Spectra Fashions was coming along. Rather than clue us in on that pivotal piece of information, Sally went stalker and followed Liam to, appropriately enough, Sheila's motel! Free breakfast and bullet holes with every stay! What, Liam saw the place when Steffy went gun moll on Sheila, decided he liked it, and bypassed the Trivago guy?
When Liam avoided Steffy's 3024th call -- amazing after Steffy said Liam's phone was off -- Sally, who wasn't taking the hint that Liam wanted to be alone, assumed his troubles had to do with Steffy. "I ruined your marriage!" Sally lamented. Take comfort, Sally; if Bill hadn't pushed you and Liam together pushing for Sky, none of this would be going down. Good thing Bill likes mirrors; he needs to study himself in hundreds of them.
Over at Casa Brooke, Ridge had a surprise for his once-and-future "destiny." Lizzie is running Forrester Creations because its co-CEOs never comes in to work anymore? No, the surprise was Hope, whom Ridge convinced to move home from Milan. Hey, first Donna visits L.A., now Hope. Given Ridge's recent penchant for pleasing Brooke with missing relatives, I bet he could bring Beth and Storm back from the dead, no prob!
Hope had apparently learned bunches overseas, but she never elaborated on what. Instead, she hinted that she might fire Hope for the Future up again. Lawd, I "hope" not. I think we got enough of the purity-protecting line the first time. Besides, doesn't a fashion line come out for just one season before it's replaced with something else? Even Ridge said it was a different market now. With any luck, Hope was just brainstorming.
Hope was ready for new challenges, yet she apparently didn't date anyone in the three years she was gone and rose to the occasion the minute Brooke mentioned Liam. Gee, no love for Wyatt, whom Hope only lost a baby with? That tragedy was only the whole reason Hope ditched L.A. in the first place. Even Rick seemed to think his "prodigal sister" stayed away because Liam had married Steffy.
Side note: what are Rick and Maya smoking? Rick bitched about how Ridge "cheated on my mom with Quinn," which Maya labeled "disgusting." Excuse me, you two, what you did was way worse! Quidge kissed a few times; you guys carried on a consummated affair behind Caroline's back until you flaunted it over Skype. I get that Rick will always think the worst of Ridge, but let's not even trip over here, okay?
Pam looked up upon hearing "No lemon bars?" and found Hope standing in front of her. Though you know I usually rail about the too-often-mentioned pastry, that was a cute reference. Before their exchange was even over, Sally burst into Forrester (where you think she'd be denied entry) and lit up seeing Hope. Apparently, Sally was a big fan of HFTF! The young fashionistas shook hands and stole away to convo privately.
Hope soon discovered that she and Sally had something else in common: they both dug Liam. Sally was so obvious that Hope commented on her catching feelings in just a couple of scenes. Then, Sally let it drop that Liam had left Steffy and moved to a hotel. You could just hear the wheels turning; these ladies need some WD-40. Hope and Sally declared they'd be there for Liam as friends, but we know where this is going, don't we?
Yep, it won't be long before Liam has three lovely ladies fighting for his affections. I think that might actually be novel for B&B, but I can't say it would be must-see TV, at least not for me. Plus, it's one thing for Sally to crush on Liam -- at least that's new -- but it doesn't say much for Hope that she's coming home after years away, still wanting the guy. Steffy did that, too. And Sally's lost her feisty edge since going Team Liam.
Liam's motel chat with Sally convinced him to go home and have a different chat with Steffy. Naturally, Steffy thought Liam was back to glue their marriage together and give their unborn child two parents. It quickly became clear he wasn't about that, but we dragged his refusal out a whole episode and left it on the same cliffhanger as the previous episode: would he forgive Steffy?
For my money, what I really liked was Liam talking about his mother, which he rarely does. He recalled how Kelly had worked to keep her child away from Bill and growled that he should have trusted her instincts. "Would she have warned me about you?" Liam asked Steffy. Remember, Liam only came to L.A. because Kelly urged him to before she died; I repeat it's when B&B taps its history that we get the richest moments.
Okay, Scoopers -- it's time to jump into the DeLorean and travel to an alternate 2018 where the characters of B&B dance to my tune. It's gonna be shorter than in previous years, but it's still gonna be fun, so let's do it!
HOPE: She's back in all her trademark sweetness, which hides her true agenda: she blames Quinn for losing her baby. Hope's also furious at Wyatt for not protecting her from Quinn, so Hope visits Deacon in jail; papa is all too anxious to share with Hope his near-certainty that Quinn killed Ricardo Montemayor to get his diamond for Wyatt. Hope makes Quinn and Wyatt's lives a living hell, tormenting them with this information.
WATIE: Katie and Wyatt continue their secret affair, but little Will overhears them talking and gets confused, wondering if his brother is going to become his daddy. Even more troubled that he spends more time with Aunt Donna than at home with his mother, Will runs away; Katie and Wyatt race to find him, barely rescuing him from standing in the middle of a Los Angeles freeway.
BRIDGE: Ridge and Brooke do indeed get married...and that's that. No more triangles, waffling, etc. However, the Unforgettable Ones face challenges when Brooke finally starts coming to terms with her menopause; feeling unattractive, Brooke buries herself in work, going back into the lab and creating a 21st century follow-up to the BeLieF formula. Meanwhile, Ridge learns that he's Douglas' dad, after all, and Brooke struggles with raising a child who's younger than her grandchildren.
STEAM/STILL: Liam finds himself leaning toward Sally, but in his rage toward his father and estranged wife, he comes upon another copy of the recording in which Bill confessed torching Spectra. This time, Liam takes it to the police, and Bill goes to jail. Karen returns to run Spencer with Liam and Bill absent, bringing wife Dani with her. Steffy supports Bill behind bars and accepts Bill's proposal after she finds out her baby is his, after all; they get married in jail! Bill gets bailed out by his mother, Sylvia Spencer (played by As the World Turn's Elizabeth Hubbard), who constantly pulls on Bill's ear and keeps him in line.
SHEILA: Lauren Fenmore comes to L.A. for a Forrester fashion show and runs into her old nemesis at Il Giardino, giving Sheila a chance to properly explain it wasn't her Lauren "killed" in Genoa City, but Sheila's old cohort, Sugar, who had gotten Phyllis' face to impersonate Sheila and get revenge on her. Lauren blows up at Eric for not telling her Sheila is alive; Eric apologetically says he didn't want to disrupt her life. Sheila decides to genuinely attempt rehabilitation and makes the rounds to many of the people she hurt, in California and Wisconsin, resulting in lots of juicy flashbacks.
IVY: Tired of only designing jewelry all the time, the Plant tries speed dating, meets Justin, and begins dating him casually. Back at work, Ivy consoles Carter, who realizes it was only his loneliness that made him think he wanted Maya back, and before long, Ivy finds herself in a hot triangle with both Carter and Justin. Ivy finally gets a scene with mother Claire and half-sister Jessica, who's brought hubby Dylan for a visit, while Marcus swings by with Dayzee and growing Rosie, getting an earful from daddy Justin and adoptive bro Carter about their rivalry over Ivy.
SPECTRA: C.J. finally throws in with his old company; with the help of his father, Clarke, he buys the original Sally's old penthouse and turns it into the new Spectra Fashions, even building a runway on the high-rise's roof. With Clarke and Sally designing and Liam heading the executive wing, Spectra begins to kick Forrester's ass, especially when the disgruntled Thorne, who can't replace Ridge there, adds his design talents to Team Spectra.
THORNE: Thorne and young Sally share a flirtation, which annoys Liam -- until Sally lets it slip that Macy is still alive, albeit in a coma; Macy's mom, Sally, purposely ran off to tropical isles with Macy in tow to keep her away from Thorne after he betrayed Macy with Darla. Macy comes back to town, needing to be filled in on life since 2003, but her revived connection with Thorne gets diluted by a recently released Deacon, to whom Macy is still technically married.
SHIRLEY/SAUL/DARLITA: Shirley's carny daughter, Cynthia Spectra (played by Guiding Light's Kim Zimmer), arrives in L.A., asking Shirley to hide her -- she's out of jail, but she's still in trouble with the cartel she sold drugs for. Sally and Coco want nothing to do with their felonious mom. Eventually, the drug dealers find Cynthia and hold Shirley, Saul, Darlita, Sally, Coco, and R.J. hostage. The near-death experience has Saul coming out of the closet and free-spirited Darlita trying to build bridges with her conservative family, the Fuenteses.
THE AVANTS: Maya not only runs into trouble not being allowed to use a ladies' room while out with Rick, but she becomes the target of an anti-trans web site; Rick and Nicole are hurt in an explosion that was meant for Maya. Meanwhile, the Avants all begin to notice things missing, and Julius receives cryptic messages promising different kinds of punishments. Soon, Sasha comes to town, warning her not-family that her mother, Lucy, escaped an institution and wants revenge on the Avants for not accepting Sasha; Lucy kidnaps Lizzie, and during a tense showdown, Julius saves Maya from Lucy's bullet.
CAROLINE: Caroline must face Thomas when he finds out that she wasn't really dying; he splits New York after also learning he isn't Douglas' father. Caroline seeks comfort from mothers Karen and Dani in L.A. until Douglas needs help with rare genetic defect that endangers his health. When Ridge and Karen are incompatible, Karen is forced to finally tell Caroline that her father is Connor Davis, the man she almost married before leaving town in 1994. Connor is able to save Douglas and builds a tentative relationship with estranged daughter Caroline.
PAM/CHARLIE: The longest-standing couple on B&B finally gets married, but the bakers' happiness is short-lived when Charlie begins showing signs of Alzheimer's disease. Pam, who spent most of her life doting on mother, Ann, finds herself struggling with the idea of again having to devote all of her time to caring for a loved one. Donna, who buys her father Stephen a home in L.A. and finds romance with Connor, becomes Pam's unexpected source of support.
ERIC: All hell breaks loose when Eric receives a video from Massimo Marone, who just passed away: in it, Massimo confesses that he lied about Ridge being his son in an attempt to win back Stephanie but kept up the lie once Ridge and Bridget developed their attraction -- Massimo waited until he was on his deathbed to tell the truth so he could die knowing he brought down the Forresters! Actually being brothers ups the animosity between Ridge and Thorne instead of alleviating it; Bridget's world is rocked by finding out she really did kiss her half-brother, and Rick and Steffy are traumatized by the fact that they consummated a half-sibling relationship. The scandal further damages the Forrester brand, but in lighter news, Nick pays a visit to make peace with the Forresters, bringing now-preteen Jack home to see egg donor mom Brooke.
And that's what I've got for ya if I was penning scripts for B&B! Like it? Love it? Hate it? Got your own ideas of how you'd write the show for 2018? Talk to me in the the Comments section below or on the Soap Central message boards, or simply click here to submit feedback. Your comments could wind up in a future column! Like these!
"Hope and Sally can chase Liam down like a rabid dog for all I care. This former Steam fan is off the train and just waiting for #Still. So, Steffy fix your hair, wipe your nose and wing that eyeliner. $Bill is on his way (and he still has his billions)." -- Miss Gracie
"[Liam is] the male version of the old Hope. Holier-than-thou, sanctimonious and never owns anything. He can go work for Spectra now and they can create a Liam for the Future line of hipster fashion." -- "SteffyRulez2018"
"Why is everyone coming down hard on Steffy when Liam started this by gifting a thief who stole from his wife's family business a $50 million piece of property? Liam's need to be yet again, Rescue Ranger caused this drama & as usual is blind to his role in this." -- Kathy
"I'm in thunderous agreement with [your Best & Worst column's] #Bold30 omissions [in the Most Wasted Opportunities category]. It was a slap in the face to both Hunter Tylo and her fans that Taylor wasn't even so much as mentioned." -- Rhaegar
Well, y'all, Hope's back, so keep watching, be alert, and most of all, be bold. And remember, now more than ever, no matter color, creed, religion, gender identity, orientation, or nationality, we're all beautiful -- in 2018 and beyond!
