Robotic Process Automation Services
For half a century, information technology has helped businesses achieve success and accomplish more than ever before through business process automation, which involves analyzing existing business processes and replacing them with faster, more efficient, and less expensive electronic alternatives. The newest approach to automation is robotic process automation (RPA), which takes less time and money to deploy, is much more flexible, and yields improvements in efficiency and accuracy on par with traditional automation projects. Visionet Systems has expanded its business process consulting and automation capabilities to include RPA implementation and management services. With its vast experience in helping data-driven, service-oriented businesses improve margins and boost productivity, Visionet delivers excellent service and superior results.
Re-trainable software assistants that process digital data at superhuman speed, 24x7x365
RPA improves operational efficiency by completing tedious, repetitive digital tasks using a software agent called a "robot" or "bot". Each robot operates at a lower cost and performs the required series of steps with greater speed and accuracy than a human. Repetitive manual tasks that involve the application of business rules are prime targets for RPA.
Instead of manually entering data, organizing and combining documents, copying and transferring files, or verifying that fields in various forms or databases conform to business requirements, robots perform these processes much more quickly, securely, and reliably. Robots perform sequences of digital tasks around the clock at peak efficiency, typically outperforming their most diligent human counterparts by 500 to 1,000 percent!
By taking care of boring, time-consuming tasks, robots allow human personnel to assume more satisfying roles that require complex thought and creativity. RPA is quickly gaining traction in data-driven business roles like F&A, HR, Operations, and IT, and is most popular in service-oriented organizations like law and accounting firms, financial institutions, insurance companies, and hospitals.
Reduce your operating expenses and shorten your closing cycle
In addition to efficiency and accuracy, RPA is a completely enterprise-ready solution. Since RPA's robot workers are digital entities themselves, security and auditing become much easier. Each robot can be configured to generate a detailed audit trail, and reducing human access to sensitive information limits the chance of a security breach. Analytics and reporting are also simplified, with the robots assigned to each process automatically delivering vital real-time statistics and notifying their human supervisors of any processing exceptions. Adding additional robots for further automation is a snap, offering scalability that cannot be matched by either on-shore or off-shore outsourcing services. Visionet's robotic process automation services ensure that your robots are configured optimally, and can even be imbued with cognitive abilities so they learn from human knowledge workers' behavior.
The power, flexibility, and value to digitally transform your day-to-day business operations
Compared to traditional automation or outsourcing services, Visionet's RPA services possess truly game-changing advantages that offer a very high ROI over the long term, including:
- Improves processing times by 5 to 10 times and significantly reduces delays
- Robots can perform duties around the clock, improving availability
- Reduces operating costs with a value-driven pricing structure
- Deploys in days and weeks, not months and years
- Does not require changes to underlying processes or systems
- Robots operate and are trained at the GUI level and do not require API-level interfaces
- Robots take less time and investment to retrain on new processes and systems than humans
- Improves information security by reducing human access to business data
- Automated procedures become fully auditable
- Improves accuracy and compliance to business rules, reducing business risk
- Provides real-time performance analytics and reports
- Human workers can move from boring repetitive work to complex, creative business roles, improving employee job satisfaction
Visionet has expanded its range of services to keep pace with the latest in enterprise technology. Please visit our Enterprise Automation page to learn more.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan is considering a vehicle toxicity charge, or T-Charge, to discourage drivers of older, dirtier vehicles from driving into London – and the scheme could go live as soon as 2017.
Imposed on top of the existing London Congestion Charge, a cost of around £12.50 is said to be under consideration for the new T-Charge.
It would take in the same area as the Congestion Charge and use the same monitoring cameras: drivers would pay it via the same channels, with number plate recognition cameras automatically identifying those cars liable for the extra charge.
It could raise the cost of driving an older car into Central London to £24 a day.
Officials are said to be looking at Berlin's Low Emissions Zone, which imposes charges on drivers of Euro 4 diesel cars (2005 or older) and Euro 1 petrol cars (1992 or older).
The T-Charge proposals will form part of a series of proposals the Mayor aims to put into public consultation within the next few weeks. Other plans include:
- Doubling the proposed Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) area from the North Circular to South Circular inner ring roads
- Bringing in the ULEZ earlier, possibly 2019 instead of 2020
- Introducing Clean Bus Corridors, which would put the cleanest buses onto the dirtiest routes
- A London diesel scrappage scheme
Reports suggest London's air quality is among the worst in the world, with King's College London last year attributing almost 9,500 deaths in 2010 alone to the NOx and PM2.5 particulate pollution.
Diesel vehicles are key emitters of NOx and particulates, with London's Oxford Street having the worst NO2 levels in the world due to its high concentration of diesel buses.

TV Ratings: 'Grey's Anatomy' and Football Own Thursday
There was quite a wide spread between Grey's Anatomy and the rest of broadcast's non-sports programming on Thursday night.
The 13-year-old ABC drama, steady with a 2.1 rating among adults 18-49, was heads above its closest competition. Even the sum of its network neighbors, Notorious (0.9 adults) and How to Get Away With Murder (1.1 adults), don't add up to its score in the key demo.
Though CBS coverage of Thursday Night Football lead the night overall, earning a 3.0 rating in the key demo and 10 million viewers ahead of time zone adjustments, the closest competition in entertainment programming came from NBC — where a steady Chicago Med (1.3 adults), along with Superstore, The Good Place (1.2 adults) and The Blacklist (1.1 adults) gave the network No. 3 status for the night.
Pitch was down to a 0.8 rating among adults 18-49 on Fox, matching its lead-in from Rosewood. And, on the CW, DC's Legends of Tomorrow returned to just a 0.6 rating in the key demo before Supernatural (also apparently resistant to the passage of time) kicked off its 12th season with a steady 0.8 rating among adults 18-49.

I can't really answer the Growl question. I vaguely recall seeing a remote Growl notifier somewhere, but I might have imagined it.
I do plan to enhance Simon in the future to enable sharing data between multiple machines, which would enable notifying via Growl, sound, speech, or whatever on a different machine than the test is performed (and checking on multiple machines). But that's in the future.
Re 2.6, I am currently wrapping up my secret new iPhone app... then I'll be working on an iPad edition of it in March. Once that's done, I'll be moving to Simon 2.6, in April. I'm looking forward to getting back to Mac development!
(Oh, and there will be Simon 2.5.6 next week, too; just a quick bug-fix update.)

Today's session was a pretty long one. Although I am not content with my result, I learned quite a bit.
For example how to properly get scalarfields into DOPs. And additionally use them to stick flip fluids to a collision object.
Also, that you have to plug in your velocity source for your flipsolver into the 3rd input instead of the 4th. It will shop up in as guides if you turn it on, but it won't function. Sooo, remember to plug it into the 3rd input kids!

North Korea continued its defiance of the international community with the test of yet another ballistic missile Wednesday morning. In response to this latest outrage, concerned governments continue to try to muster a concerted effort to constrain North Korean behavior and get Pyongyang to end its provocations, return to compliance with the nuclear nonproliferation regime and become a responsible and law-abiding member of the community of nations. Still, flaws in the strategy to do so remain unfixed and must be remedied if this effort is to succeed.
North Korea conducted its third test of what is thought to be an intercontinental ballistic missile — following the first two in July — in the early hours of Wednesday. The missile traveled approximately 1,000 km in 53 minutes before landing about 250 km west of Aomori Prefecture in Japan's exclusive economic zone in the Sea of Japan.
Significantly, the missile traveled on a "lofted" trajectory, meaning that it went farther into the atmosphere — higher than 4,000 km in altitude — to test its engines and potential range, without threatening distant countries. The flight parameters have forced most observers to conclude that if the missile had flown on a standard trajectory, it would have been capable of traveling 13,000 km, which would put the east coast of the United States within its range.
As those same experts caution, there is no indication of the type and size of warhead that the missile carried. A missile can fly a longer distance when it does not have a heavy payload. North Korea claimed that the new ICBM it test-fired is capable of carrying a heavy nuclear warhead. Equally important, North Korea has not demonstrated either the targeting ability or the mastery of re-entry technologies that would allow it to attack a distant adversary with precision.
Still, the consensus is that if North Korea has not mastered those capabilities, it soon will. The country has conducted a rigorous series of missile tests: This week's launch is the 16th test (in which 22 missiles were fired) since February, an unprecedented rate.
International condemnation was quick to follow. The United Nations denounced the test as "a clear violation of Security Council resolutions and shows complete disregard for the united view of the international community." Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said: "We can never accept such a reckless action that tramples on the strong commitment of the international community to resolve the matter peacefully. The international community needs to unite and completely implement the sanctions measures. We will not yield to any provocation and will maximize pressure on North Korea." U.S. President Donald Trump called it "a situation that we will handle. Nothing changed. … We take it very seriously."
The U.N. Security Council was set to meet in an emergency session Wednesday afternoon, while the U.S. and Canada will convene a meeting of nations that contribute forces to the U.N. Command in South Korea to discuss ways to "counter North Korea's threat to international peace." South Korea similarly denounced the test and responded with a message of its own. Within minutes of the test, South Korean forces carried out a "precision missile strike drill," whose flight distance matched that of the North Korean missile and landed off the east coast of South Korea.
In most cases, North Korea tests reflect its own schedule and technological imperatives. In this case, however, Pyongyang was likely sending a signal to Washington and the world. North Korea typically does not test in the winter because of inclement weather. And, indeed, testing had been in abeyance for about 10 weeks after a busy summer.
But Trump's recent Asia tour, in which North Korea was a priority in his conversations, and the subsequent decision to relist Pyongyang as a state supporter of terrorism may have inspired that government to send a message that it was not intimidated. This test will make it easier for Washington and its allies to tighten the screws. In addition to still stronger sanctions, U.S. envoys are pushing other governments to cut ties with Pyongyang and cut off other sources of income for the regime, such as the use of North Korean workers as foreign labor — a practice widespread in the Middle East and Russia.
North Korea insists that its missile and nuclear programs are defensive and a means to protect the country from a hostile U.S., oblivious to the cycle of action and reaction it has initiated or accelerated. The U.S. insists that it "remains committed to finding a peaceful path to denuclearization," but its patience is running out. The challenge is for the U.S. and partners like Japan to articulate a diplomatic settlement that Pyongyang can support. Thus far, sticks are far more prominent than carrots. That may be emotionally gratifying but is unlikely to produce a deal that endures.

"Snap out of it Jay!" my boss, Thomas, said.
He was, in a way, right. I wasn't really there. It really hasn't been the best of years. Not being able to walk was getting to me, I guess. Maybe I was feeling a little sorry for myself too. Okay, more then a little.
Falling in love, and getting my heart broken put me over the edge though. I was going to be happy for the first time in a long time. I don't just mean every day waking up happy. Out of this world, never coming down, happy. But she twisted that knife so tight in my heart, it was hard to see the path in front of me.
"I know what you're going through," Thomas looked me in the eye. "And I'm going to do you a faver."
He told me that he was going to cut my hours in half so I could finish the book I started two years ago.
I wrote more than I had in more than a year. And the more I wrote, my broken heart quickly heeled.

Spotlight: Meet Delegate Mark Keam (D-Fairfax)
This month DAAV highlights Delegate Mark Keam (D-Fairfax), the first Korean American elected to Virginia's General Assembly in 2010. He represents Virginia's 35th District. His record accomplishments in the state legislature includes promoting public schools and higher education opportunities, as well as supporting small businesses and the region's entrepreneurs. Mr. Keam recently shared with DAAV about what makes an effective AAPI leader for our communities and beyond.
What do you enjoy about serving in Virginia's House of Delegates?
The best part of my job is being able to meet people and to learn about their interests and concerns. I am constantly exposed to new information and new networks of people which helps me connect the dots to assist others.
What is something that you wish you knew before you entered office to do your job well?
I wished I knew Virginia and American history better. As an immigrant who came to America at age 14, I didn't have the opportunity to learn sooner, so I've been trying hard to catch up as an adult on what I missed through formal education.
What does leadership in public service mean to you?
Leadership generally means to act and to not ignore a problem when you see it, and to offer solutions in place of criticism. In public service, leadership means understanding the roles and limitations of government in order to best utilize the tools and resources of government to improve people's lives and society at large.
For others who wish to follow in your footsteps, what skill sets are beneficial in serving as an elected official?
Being open-minded and willing to meet everyone and listen to every viewpoint, even if I disagree. I also recognize my own limitations and know that I don't know a lot so I need to collaborate with others who are knowledgeable.
This spotlight is the first in a working series highlighting Virginia's Asian Americans in elected office. Please like us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter to get the latest news and updates from DAAV!

LOS ANGELES (AP) – Dodgers rookie Cody Bellinger became the fastest player to 21 home runs in baseball history, connecting in his first two at-bats against New York Mets right-hander Zack Wheeler on Monday night.
Bellinger, who was not called up until three weeks into the season, now has 21 home runs in his first 51 games.
That surpasses by one the totals of Gary Sanchez (New York Yankees, 2016) and Wally Berger (Boston Braves, 1930). Both had 20 home runs through 51 games. It took Berger 55 games and Sanchez 59 games to reach the 21-homer mark.
Bellinger, 21, now leads the National League in home runs. His first game was April 25. He has five multihomer games, tying Mike Piazza for the Dodgers' rookie record.

In the last decade, landslides have caused the death of 20 000 people. These destructive movements of rocks, debris, or earth down a slope are responsible for billions in damage each year. What is more, with global warming and the increase in extreme weather events, predictions suggest these kind of phenomena will only get worse. Yet, mitigation plans are insufficient or unadapted. Indeed, the complexity of the inner phenomena of a landslide, coupled with its interactions with the surrounding constructions and natural environment, makes numerical simulation a challenge. To improve our knowledge of this major natural hazard and for mitigating its disastrous effects, Dr. Alessandro Franci is developing a new and more performant computational tool for modelling landslides. The ultimate goal is to contribute to the design of tailored counter-measures to protect populations.
« Current landslide modelling generally considers the land as a homogeneous medium and the structures affected by the landslide impact as rigid bodies », Dr. Alessandro Franci reports. « The method we are developing will be able both to deal with the heterogeneous nature of the triggered material and to model the effect of this over civil constructions ». The project's objective is indeed two-fold. On one hand, it seeks to predict the runout dynamics accounting for the complex inner phenomena of a landslide. On the other, it aims to compute the structural damages induced by the impact of the landslide runout against civil constructions and the verification of the resistance of the retaining structure. « It will take into account the soil mechanical properties , the 3D topography- and different types of infrastructures. The data are accessible, we just need an accurate and fast numerical method to compute all this information », the researcher explains.
A hybrid numerical method to model a complex multi-physics phenomenon
To develop a performant computational tool for landslide simulation, Dr. Alessandro Franci plans to associate different existing numerical methods to create a new hybrid numerical method. To conduct his project, him and his team will proceed in consecutive steps. « First, I will focus on modeling the coupling between rigid bodies and free-surface fluids, as the motion of stones and boulders within a mudflow.Then, during my stay in Milan at the 'Politecnico di Milano', I will meet up with experts to enhance the constitutive modelling of mudslides . Finally I will work on the impact of a heterogeneous material against infrastructures ». « Once all these developments are implemented , I will focus on one of the project's biggest challenges, that is to reduce the computational cost of the model ». Running 3D models requires enormous amounts of resources, which translates into extensive amounts of time. « 3D models can take several days to produce results, we need it to go faster ». The last step will be to assess the computational tool's forecasting capabilities. This will be done using experimental tests realised ad hoc and by simulating of historical landslides events.
Landslides affect every region of the world. It is estimated that 300 million people live in areas prone to them. Accurately simulating landslides, by tailoring models according to the landscape and urban specificities, is crucial if we want to bring vulnerabilities to light and mitigate them. In this sense, Dr. Alessandro Franci's project holds great promise for the future.

Blah, Blah,Blah
Sometimes, I'll admit it's what I feel like saying when people talk to me sometimes. Like why is that? I mean, I'm a mature adult and I try to be respectful and kind to other people, but hot damn has my patience run short a lot in the last… Oh I don't know 2 YEARS of my life!!! Sometimes, I'm not quite sure what people are thinking when they open their mouth, and sadly I think it's because they just talk to run their traps. I'm a loner for the most part and I'm beginning to think I'm actually ok with that. I have a couple close friends who I love to talk to, and I love to see when I get the chance, but mostly I don't do too much with hardly anyone but my family. I am totally ok with that.
I can't allow myself to get mixed up in fake pleasantries, political townie politics and my kid is better than your kid at this sport said bull shit. It's another season of Spring sports. Another season of big macho conceited spewing shit coming from kids and parents alike. Another season of degrading one another, cheering for one kid but not the next kid. From sitting in cliquish circles to over hearing gossip from 3 chairs down. I don't know how to deal with another year of all the bull crap. I just want to sit and watch The sport. I want to cheer for the kids and support them. I don't want to be the overbearing WIN WIN WIN parent, who is nothing more than a failure in their life and wants to live vicariously through their child's. I won't be the parent who raises their child to think it's ok to make fun of or degrade someone else's child. I won't be the parent who doesn't teach their child that being good and humble at the same time is a good character trait to have.
I want to be the parent who teaches their child the true value of sportsmanship, teamwork and friendship. The parent that teaches their kid to be the kind of person that people respect and look up to. That knows cheating is wrong and treating their teammates negatively is not acceptable. To be the kid that when everyone else walks away, they are the ones that stay and sit quietly next to you in support of you. Too many parents raise egotistical monsters with no manners and no people skills. It's a wonder we have the problems we do in this world. Take a look and do some weeding in your own backyard. Are you putting out weeds or daisies?

(A Christmas memory by Gail and Clyde's daughter, Virginia Allain)
Some families face a spartan Christmas, particularly if they are out of work. Thinking of that brought to mind a Christmas where the generosity of others saved our family from a bleak holiday.
My dad had been in a car accident and was hospitalized for almost six months. My mother was expecting and with five children to care for, she couldn't go out and work. It looked like there would be few gifts and certainly, money couldn't be wasted on a Christmas tree when there was barely food for the table.
When our school closed for the Christmas break, my fifth-grade teacher brought the tree from the classroom to our house. Also that week, some kind soul left a box filled with holiday foods on our front porch.
It must have been a frightening and sad time for my mother trying to cope with it all. I'm thankful that the second-hand tree and the food brought some Christmas spirit to our home that year.
When I shared this memory with my younger sister, Karen, she said,
"I would have been 5 that Christmas. Don't remember any of those things! That was in the days when kids weren't allowed to visit in the hospital, so I remember not seeing Dad for a long time. The father of another kid in the neighborhood was an over-the-road truck driver–I remember thinking maybe that's what my Dad was doing since he was gone for so long."

In 7/2013 I went to the ER with a major infection from a bite on my shoulder. I had a fever of 101 and chills, and was given Bactrim & Keflex. In 09/2013 I had a repeat ER visit with bites on my ankles. I had the same symptoms of fever with chills, and was again given Bactrim & Keflex. They did no blood work either time.
At both visits I was attended by a physician's assistant. I went through months of agony with what I thought was a torn rotator cuff. I had sensory tests and MRIs to see I had a highly inflamed Trapezius muscle. I was sent to pain management. In January, 2014 I had to take an ambulance right to the hospital with what I thought was a stroke.
They diagnosed me with Bell's Palsy and asked if I had a bug bite or previous rashes. I said, "yes, and I was treated in your ER both times." They ran an immediate test for Lyme disease and it was positive. I've had 3 spinals, 3 EKGs, and 3 brain scans. The Lyme Disease caused the Bell's palsy.
It was
severe enough to have had me on antiviral IV's in the hospital for a week and now Valtrex and other antivirals. I'm also seeing a neurologist. I think the hospital ER dropped the ball in July 2013. Do I have a malpractice lawsuit? I have all the documentation from all my hospital visits and all prescriptions issued. Thank you.

|Brandeis University (BA)
New York University (MFA)
|Years active
(m. 2000; div. 2016)
Debra Lynn Messing (born August 15, 1968) is an American actress. After graduating from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, Messing received short-lived roles on television series such as Ned and Stacey on Fox (1995–1997) and Prey on ABC (1998). She achieved her breakthrough role as Grace Adler, an interior designer, on the NBC sitcom Will & Grace (1998–2006, 2017–2020), for which she was critically acclaimed, receiving seven Golden Globe Award nominations and five Primetime Emmy Award nominations for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, winning once in 2003.
From 2007 to 2008, Messing starred as Molly Kagan, the ex-wife of a Hollywood film mogul, on the television miniseries The Starter Wife, for which she received two Golden Globe nominations, a Primetime Emmy Award nomination and a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination for her performance. Thereafter, she appeared as Broadway playwright Julia Houston on the NBC musical drama Smash (2012–2013) and as homicide detective Laura Diamond on the NBC police-procedural comedy The Mysteries of Laura (2014–2016). From 2017 to 2020, Messing reprised her role as Grace Adler on NBC's three season revival of Will & Grace, garnering a ninth Golden Globe nomination for her performance.
Messing's film work includes A Walk in the Clouds (1995), Jesus (1999), The Mothman Prophecies (2002), Hollywood Ending (2002), Along Came Polly (2004), The Wedding Date (2005), Lucky You (2007), The Women (2008), Nothing like the Holidays (2008), Searching (2018), and Irresistible (2020). She has also lent her voice to animated films such as Garfield (2004) and Open Season (2006).
Early life
Messing was born in Brooklyn, New York,[1][2] the daughter of Sandra (née Simons), who worked as a professional singer, banker, and travel and real estate agent, and Brian Messing, a sales executive for a costume jewelry packaging manufacturer.[3] Messing is Jewish, and had a Bat Mitzvah ceremony; her Jewish ancestors emigrated from Poland and Russia.[4][5][6] When Messing was three, she moved with her parents and her older brother, Brett, to East Greenwich, Rhode Island.[7]
During her high school years, she acted and sang in a number of high school productions at East Greenwich High School, including the starring roles in the musicals Annie and Grease. She took lessons in dance, singing and acting. In 1986, she was Rhode Island's Junior Miss and competed in Mobile, Alabama, in the America's Junior Miss scholarship program.
While her parents encouraged her dream of becoming an actress, they also urged her to complete a liberal arts education before deciding on acting as a career. Following their advice, she attended Brandeis University, where at her parents' request, three-quarters of her courses were not theater related.[2] During her junior year, she studied theater at the prestigious British European Studies Group of London (BESGL) program, an experience that solidified her desire to act.
In 1990, after graduating summa cum laude from Brandeis with a Bachelor of Arts in Theater Arts, Messing gained admission to the elite Grad Acting Program at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, which accepts 16 new students annually. She earned a Master of Fine Arts after three years.[8]
In 1993, Messing won acclaim for her performance as Harper in the pre-Broadway workshop production of Tony Kushner's play Angels in America: Perestroika.[1] Subsequently, she appeared in several episodes of the television series NYPD Blue during 1994 and 1995.
In 1995, Messing made her film debut in Alfonso Arau's A Walk in the Clouds playing the unfaithful wife of main character Paul Sutton (Keanu Reeves). This exposure led the Fox network to make her the co-star of the television sitcom, Ned & Stacey. The series lasted for two seasons, from 1995 to 1997. Messing appeared as Jerry Seinfeld's romantic interest in two episodes of the series Seinfeld: "The Wait Out" in 1996 and "The Yada Yada" in 1997. Messing turned down a starring role in another television sitcom to appear in Donald Margulies's two-character play Collected Stories, which opened at the off-Broadway Manhattan Theater Club. She also co-starred in the Tom Arnold vehicle McHale's Navy in 1997.
In 1998, Messing played a lead role as the bioanthropologist Sloan Parker on ABC's dramatic science fiction television series Prey. During this time, her agent approached her with the pilot script for the television show Will & Grace. Messing was inclined to take some time off, but the script intrigued her, and she auditioned for the role of Grace Adler, beating out Nicollette Sheridan, who later guest-starred on the show as Grace's romantic rival. Will & Grace became a ratings success, and Messing became a star.[1]
In 2002, she was named one of the "50 Most Beautiful People in the World" by People. TV Guide picked her as its "Best Dressed Woman" in 2003. And Messing's trademark curls on Will & Grace won her five Crown Awards from voters at the celebrity hair site Super-Hair.Net between 2000 and 2008.
Messing was cast by director Woody Allen in a small role in his film Hollywood Ending (2002). Her film roles since include Richard Gere's ill-fated wife in the supernatural thriller The Mothman Prophecies (also 2002) and a supporting role as an unfaithful bride in Along Came Polly (2004). The Wedding Date (2005) was Messing's first leading role in a high-profile film. It received mixed reviews, but performed fairly well at the box office.
Messing was featured as a judge on the season finale of the second season of Bravo's reality show, Project Runway. Also in 2005, along with Megan Mullally, she was awarded the Women in Film Lucy Award in recognition of her excellence and innovation in her creative works that have enhanced the perception of women through the medium of television.[9]
She also starred in the television miniseries The Starter Wife (2007), which was nominated for ten Emmy Awards, including one for Messing for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries or Movie. In 2008, Messing reprised her role as Molly Kagan in the television series The Starter Wife, consisting of 10 episodes.[10] In early 2010, Messing starred in the ABC comedy pilot Wright vs. Wrong for the 2010–2011 primetime season, but the pilot was not picked up by ABC.[11]
In July 2011, Messing was ranked no. 22 on the TV Guide Network special, Funniest Women on TV.[12] In February 2011, it was announced that Messing would star in a new NBC musical pilot called Smash for the 2011–2012 primetime season.[13] In May 2011, it was reported that NBC picked up the show as a series for the 2011–2012 season.[14] The show premiered on February 6, 2012. The show was later renewed for a second season after which it was cancelled.[15]
Messing appeared with Green Day singer Billie Joe Armstrong and Leighton Meester in Frank Whaley's drama film Like Sunday, Like Rain in 2014. For her performance, Messing won the 2014 Best Actress Award at The Williamsburg Independent Film Festival.[16]
She made her Broadway debut in John Patrick Shanley's play Outside Mullingar alongside Tony Award winner Brían F. O'Byrne, which began previews at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre on January 3, 2014.[17] Outside Mullingar was nominated for Best Play for the 2014 (68th Annual) Tony Awards.
Messing starred in The Mysteries of Laura, a police procedural television show that premiered in September 2014. The series lasted for two seasons and ended in 2016.
Messing portrayed Marjorie Houseman in the television remake of the film, Dirty Dancing (1987). It aired on ABC in May 2017.[18]
She starred again as Grace Adler in the revival of Will & Grace on NBC. The revival aired for three seasons, from September 2017 to April 2020.
In March 2020, Messing, an outspoken critic of President Trump's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, shared a video and tweeted that he is a "LIAR-IN-CHIEF" since "innumerable people (including MAGA) will die, because of his lies and inaction" and questioned MAGA supporters if they realize that Trump should be voted out of office in the upcoming 2020 Presidential election.[19] She was one of several celebrities which either urged people to take the coronavirus outbreak seriously or criticized President Trump's leadership during the outbreak.[20][21]
Personal life
Messing met Daniel Zelman, an actor and screenwriter, on their first day as graduate students at New York University in 1990. They were married on September 3, 2000, and lived in Manhattan. In April 2004, Messing gave birth to their son, Roman.[22] In December 2011, she and her husband separated after 11 years of marriage.[23] Messing filed for divorce on June 5, 2012.[24] The divorce was officially completed on March 1, 2016.[25]
Messing dated her Smash co-star Will Chase from the end of 2011 to October 2014.[26]

Private firearms ownership decentralizes coercive power, transferring some of it from the state to the private individual. Naturally, political regimes oppose this. But even many non-Americans embrace private arms.
If the word "free" is to have any meaning, it should mean something more than whatever freedom remains after the government has finished restricting it.
It's not a coincidence that the wealth of the top 1 percent began to really take off when the US ended the last remnants of the gold standard in 1973.
Not only is taxation theft, but by taking away part of the money you earn, the government is forcing you to work for it.

Although many central bankers have claimed the central banks are instrumental in ushering in a more green economy, a closer look suggests the opposite is true.

Requesting a refund or compensation
Requesting compensation
We know your time is valuable, so the whole Rhônexpress team is committed to offering a service that meets your needs in terms of punctuality.
However, in exceptional cases when we are unable to keep this commitment, we offer compensation at 50% of the price of a single ticket for delays of over 10 minutes, and 100% for delays of over 20 minutes (based on ticket machines fares). This compensation will take the form of a credit that can be used at the website for future purchases. That's the Rhônexpress Punctuality Guarantee!
To activate the Punctuality Guarantee, just fill in the form our conductor will give you, and either return it directly or send it to us by post within fifteen days of the incident. We will then send you by e-mail or post a voucher code corresponding to the compensation amount, which you can use at the website for future E-Ticket purchases.
Note that the Punctuality Guarantee does not apply in three cases:
- Passengers travelling with a free Rhônexpress ticket or a ticket reserved for airport staff.
- In cases where an alternative service by bus is put in place, regardless of the reason.
- For departures of Rhônexpress after midnight.
Otherwise, if you incur additional financial expenses due to an interruption to the Rhônexpress service (taxi, hotel, flight etc.), refer to the travel insurance purchased with your flight, or to your bank if you paid for your plane ticket with your bank card. The Rhônexpress responsability is limited to the transfer Lyon-Airport
Requesting an E-Ticket refund
As unexpected events may mean you have to cancel your trip at the last minute, we give you the option of obtaining a refund for E-Tickets bought via this site. To obtain a refund, your E-Ticket must still be valid.
The process is simple and involves just three steps:
- go to the My Orders section of your Account
- select the E-Ticket in question and click "I want to cancel this order and request a refund"
- fill in your bank details so that your account can be credited by bank transfer The data are encrypted before being sent over the Internet.
Note that a fixed administration fee of €3 per E-Ticket cancelled will be deducted from the amount refunded.
Only E-Tickets that have not yet been exchanged on board the tram can be refunded. Tickets bought at the automatic ticket machines in the stations or from the Rhônexpress staff on board cannot be refunded or exchanged.
Cancelling your E-Ticket cancels all the tickets you have ordered.
Warning: E-ticket refund is made in euro only. Any refund will be made on an account out of the Euro
Area (eurozone). In this case, a discount code will be delivered by e-mail as compensation of the cancellation.

Organic Chicory
Cultivation for most chicories should be similar to other greens and in particular lettuce as they prefer cooler temperatures. They have smaller sized seeds and are best sown directly after frost and when soil begins to warm. Many gardeners grow chicories as a fall crop planting in mid to late summer. You may need to plant in succession to discover the best planting time for your region. Chicories have a wide range of uses, from fresh cut salad greens to heavier greens for braising to roots grown as seasoning.

DTM (incorporated in Thailand) has the vision of providing the state of the art design through manufacturing technology to the local industries.
As globalization surges and competition roaring into every corner of the world, many small and medium size (SMI) manufacturing companies are left with little choices but to strive in gaining maximum competitiveness. However, with little exposure to technology and best practices literature, SMIs often find it difficult to find a sound technology that is most "affordable" and able to gain "maximum output" from their investment.
Therefore, DTM hereby would like to prime this challenge to be the first in building and to establish the knowledge-base and expertise in the design and manufacturing sector for Thailand market.

Assuming I was like most grandmas was your first mistake
3 min read
Dive in with scuba-enthusiast Maureen and find out about her life under the sea.
Meet Maureen
Wearing a T-shirt with a diver on it, and the slogan 'assuming I was like most grandmas is your first mistake', Maureen greets us at the door of her home in Merseyside with a beaming smile and an infectious laugh.
'I know people are really shocked when I say I dive, so I just thought the t-shirt was funny. (laughs) And it shows that at any age you can do anything!'
At 59 years old, Maureen has spent the last few years living up to that mantra. Zip wires, abseiling, quad biking, white-water rafting… but it was scuba diving that became her passion at the age of 51:
'The very first time I ever went scuba diving was in Sharm El Sheikh in the Red Sea. I'd always wanted to dive. When I was younger, in my early teens, I wanted to be the female Jacques Cousteau. Absolutely loved it - the colours were fabulous. I qualified when I was 53 and I've got friends in their 70s that are divers! I went on and got my PADI (Professional Association of Dive Instructors) open water certificate in 2011 and, since then, I've been diving in a lot of places across the UK.'
So what's so special about diving?
'It's just so relaxing and calming. You feel like you're flying through the water. Each dive is so different. When I was in Lanzarote we went on a couple of night dives and that was just absolutely amazing. We saw angel sharks and there was a ray that went flying underneath us – it looked to me like it was six foot wide!'
As Maureen packs all her diving kit into the back of her car ready for a trip to her local dive centre in Eccleston, it's hard to miss all the diving memorabilia around her home – mementos from trips abroad, gifts from her friends and family… On her car boot sits a sticker with the words 'Dive Diva'.
So how do you start diving if you're a newbie?
'The best thing is to look local. Find a dive centre nearby! It's quite easy to find one – just go online and look under PADI or BSAC (British Sub-Aqua Club).'
It's obvious that diving is a major part of Maureen's life, but what about planning for her funeral?
'Actually I was talking about it to my daughter-in-law at the weekend. I would rather have a gathering of friends talking about the stuff they did with me that's fun, than actually talking about anything sad.'
On top of diving and extreme sports, Maureen fills her life with adventure and new experiences, including work as a TV and film extra, and studying for a diploma in counselling.
'You can never stop learning when you hit 50. I feel because of all the experiences I've had throughout my life, counselling is a good way to help people come to terms with any of their issues, and it's very interesting to understand why you do certain things or what is important to you and why.'
So, what are the lessons learnt from those life experiences?
'Make sure you have fun and laugh a lot. I went through years where I was very serious, and had very serious jobs, but I really think it's important to enjoy your life.
'The thing is not to worry about you, not to be scared of anything. Just do it… because you've only got one life and if you're not smiling at least once a day and laughing, it can get quite dreary.'

It's the rumor that refuses to go away: the next Sony PSP. Well, E3 is next week, thank God, and you should absolutely expect to see it, henceforth referred to as the PSP Go!, debut at Sony's press conference. It will be UMD-less (you can hear developers cheering), and possibly cheaper. That, and the slimmed down PS3 is real, too.
How do we know this? The same source that tipped off World Famous Ars Technica about the existence of a Resident Evil 5 Xbox 360 bundle and the Fable II +Halo 3 bundle—the source has a proven track record. Plus, it corroborates what Dave Perry, of Earthworm Jim fame, said earlier this year.
And I sincerely hope that, at launch, PSP Go! is cheaper than the current PSP. My guess is that getting rid of the UMD drive will contribute quite a bit to a lower production cost.
As for the slimmer PS3, this same source says, yes, it's real, and it's only a matter of time. Apparently Sony wants to spend the summer months clearing store shelves of PS3s, and, once August or September comes around, will release the slimmer one then. This slim PS3 won't be announced at E3: who would buy a PS3 in June when they know, for sure, that a newer one will be released two months later?

Let's say you don't want to completely hide the admin bar from the user but want to ensure it's not getting in their way, or yours while developing the website. This small snippet will show you how to override the default styles and force the WordPress admin bar to the bottom of the page.
When working with a site that has a fixed or absolutely positioned header, the WordPress admin bar can cause more grief than use and get in the way.
The admin bar can be super handy to quickly edit a post/page you're currently viewing but not at the cost of covering and overlapping your site's navigation for example.
Here is a helpful lightweight snippet you can add into your theme's
functions.php file which will force your WordPress admin bar to the bottom of the page and viewport.

2018 Election Program
A Guide to Activities for Nonprofits
The stakes are high for community nonprofits this election season. Connecticut will have a new Governor, administration, state agency commissioners, constitutional officers and legislature. These state officials will have the ability to shape public policy for coming years.
Before new and re-elected candidates are sworn into office, it is essential to engage with them to highlight the important work that you do, the issues that impact you, and the people you serve.
Election related activities are part of larger continuum of civic engagement for many in the nonprofit community. Engaging voters and candidates this election season can further your mission, have a positive impact on your communities, build relationships with potential and current elected officials, and increase the general understanding of policy issues important to nonprofits.
See below for more information on how to plan for different events, engage candidates and voters, and comply with state and federal laws throughout the process. If you are interested in pursuing other types of activities, please share your plans with us so we can support your efforts!

Schedule Candidate Tours
An easy way to engage candidates firsthand is to invite them to your facility for a tour. Whether they are running for the first time or have served for years, it is important for them to experience the work that you do, meet your clients and staff, and hear how you fit into the fabric of your community and our state. Keep facility tours simple and short; limit them to an hour or two and make arrangements beforehand for candidates to meet at different times with your staff and individuals that you serve who are comfortable sharing their stories.
Host a Candidate Forum
Nonpartisan Rules to Follow
Regardless how you engage with candidates, make sure you follow the simple rules outlined below. The Alliance staff is ready and excited to help you plan, organize and execute these events.
The IRS allows 501(c)(3) organizations to engage in election work, but you must maintain strict nonpartisanship – do not explicitly or implicitly endorse a candidate, and provide each side with equal access and opportunity. By following a few easy steps, you can educate candidates and engage your constituents in the political process.
- You must invite each candidate for a particular office. They don't all have to attend, but they all must be invited.
- For both a candidate forum or site visit, we recommend hosting opposing candidates on different dates. This will ensure a productive conversation and may result in better attendance from each candidate.
- You must give each candidate equal opportunity and provide a similar venue, time and presentation format for each event.
- You may also invite elected officials who are candidates to appear in their official capacity. If you do so, make sure that the candidate is chosen to speak solely for reasons other than their candidacy. While you can't control what they say, take steps to ensure that the atmosphere of the event is kept free of campaign activity.
- Candidates are free to arrive uninvited to any public event you host. If that occurs, take care that there is no actual or implied endorsement.

Lateral Displacement Photo Gallery
Lateral Displacement involves lateral (toward the armpit) migration of the breast implants. This causes the nipple-areola complexes to appear closer together.
The support of the implant by the skin alone is not always enough support to prevent lateral migration of the implants. To add another layer of support laterally, Strattice is placed on the sides of the breasts between the skin and the implant to help prevent lateral displacement.
Before & After: Lateral Displacement
The Surgical Procedure
The operation time varies depending on what exactly would need to be performed. We will review this with you after you have been examined by Dr. Pousti.
For correction of lateral displacement, the procedure can take from 1-3 hours depending on how much work is involved. Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Pousti takes his time in the operating room to make sure that he does what he can to achieve the patient's results. Usually an internal suturing technique is used to correct the pocket and therefore the implant placement on the chest.
Before & After – Lateral Displacement
What To Expect After Surgery
Pain is rarely strong, more commonly being a degree of discomfort. Swelling occurs but usually begins to subside by the third or fourth day. Some degree of swelling may persist for longer periods. A well-fitted bra is worn day and night for three weeks. While there is probably seldom interference with future breast feeding, women are cautioned that it may not be possible to breast feed in the future.
The surgical bra is used to stabilize the area after the repairs are made.
Resumption of Physical Activities
Driving may be resumed in 1-2 weeks.
Non-contact sports in 3 weeks.
Contact sports in 6 weeks.
