Introduction: Super Mario Rhinestone Cuff
Rhinestones = pixels. Super Mario + rhinestones = : )
Step 1: Supplies
- Leather Hole Punch
- Hammer or Rubber Mallet
- Scissors / Rotary Cutter
- Ruler
- Snap Setter (I purchased mine here)
- Painters Tape
- Leather (my cuff measured 8 1/4" x 3")
- Snaps - 2 sets (I purchased mine here)
- 131 Square 4MM Black Rhinestones
- 140 Square 4MM Orange Rhinestones
- 145 Square 4MM Yellow Rhinestones
- Glue (I used Eco-Flo Leather Weld which can be found here)
- Scrap Paper
- Hot Glue Gun
- Skewer (or some kind of stick)
Rhinestones: I purchased my rhinestones here in the following colors: 500 AB Square Rhinestone - Lemon, 500 AB Square Rhinestone - Orange, and 500 AB Square Rhinestone - Black. Since they are AB colors they have a cool rainbow effect and look awesome in the sun! They were about $5.00 each with free shipping, and will be enough to make 3 bracelets.
Leather: I purchased my leather here for $3.00. There is a store near by so I was able to get a remnant piece which was big enough to cut out 4 leather cuff pieces. If you don't live next to a leather store, upholstery shops will usually have some on hand or you could also use vinyl which you can find at most fabric stores.
Snaps: The snaps I bought were very easy to insert. I originally tried out another kind of snaps that are sold at most craft stores (you can find them here) and had a really hard time using them, I ruined quite a few sets and was never happy with the way any of them turned out. After looking online most people recommended buying expensive tools to set them properly. I was incredibly happy with the snaps I ended up using for this bracelet, they were super easy to install with just the basic tools and I didn't ruin 1 set : ) If you've ever had this problem as well I would recommend trying these out.
Step 2: Cut Out the Cuff
Measure your wrist to determine the length of your cuff. Mine measured 8 1/4". The height needs to be at least 3" for this design using 4mm rhinestones.
Mark your bracelet measurements on your leather piece and cut. I used a rotary cutter to get straight edges.
I also rounded the corners using my snap setter base as a guide (anything small and round will work)
Mark the snap positions on the sides of the cuff. I positioned mine in 1/2" from the edges and double checked to see if it fit my wrist nicely.
Use the hole punch to punch out holes on each of your markings. The hole just needs to be big enough to fit the cap and eyelet components through.
Step 3: Attach the Snaps
To insert the snaps you will want to work on a hard surface since you will be hammering them in.
1 snap set is made up of 4 components. The cap and socket make up the top half and the eyelet and stud make up the bottom half.
Insert the cap and socket into the leather cuff. The cap should be on the right side of the leather.
Use the setter to hammer in the cap and socket, the cap should be on the bottom and positioned on the concave side of the anvil. When hammering make sure to hold the setter straight the parts set properly.
Repeat for second cap and socket set.
Insert the eyelet and stud into the leather cuff. The stud should be on the right side of the fabric.
Use the setter to hammer in the eyelet and stud, the eyelet should be on the bottom and positioned on the flatter side of the anvil. Make sure to hold the setter straight.
Repeat for second eyelet and stud set.
Step 4: *Optional* Create a Rhinestone Picker
This Step is completely optional but very useful if you don't want to spend a lot of time trying to pick up the tiny rhinestones.
All you have to do is add a little bit of hot glue to the end of a skewer or stick.
You can also use candle wax instead of hot glue, I tried this version also which worked well but left wax residue on the rhinestones which I had to clean off afterwards.
Step 5: Glue the Rhinestones
I did a lot of experimenting with the glue to get a secure bond to the rhinestones and finally found a process that held the stones on tight.
I started out by taping off the area for the stones which measured 4 1/4" x 2 5/8" which I positioned in the center of the bracelet.
I applied 1 coat of glue to the entire area, I used a descent amount, not too thick or thin. I used this first layer as a base so that the glue would soak into the leather, that way when the 2nd coat is applied it is adhering to the glue and not the leather which gave me a secure bond for the rhinestones.
Once the first coat is applied, let it dry completely. You can use a blow dryer to speed up the process.
When the glue is dry you can begin adding the stones. I used a small paintbrush and applied the glue in rows, waiting a few seconds for the glue to get tacky and then adding on the rhinestones. You want to apply them with some pressure so they get a nice bond.
Don't worry if it looks like there is too much glue in between the rhinestones, the glue dries clear so you will not see it once dry.
Step 6: Wear!
Wear and enjoy! You can modify this project to any pixel design and I'm sure it will look awesome!

There is no question that the 2016 presidential election has been highly contentious. One needs only to log onto any social media platform to see people on all sides of the political spectrum voicing their disgust at both major party candidates. Both candidates have some of the highest unfavorability ratings in "more than 30 years," with the latest poll averages showing Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton at 55 percent unfavorability and Republican nominee Donald Trump, ahead by a slight margin, at almost 59 percent unfavorability. And some Americans have been so dissatisfied with the two-party system that they are flocking to the third-party Libertarian candidate, Gary Johnson, who is polling at six percent in the latest general election polls, five points higher than he had been in 2012.
With this trend of dissatisfaction toward the two major candidates, it's no wonder that alienation follows very closely on its heels. It's difficult to be passionate about an election that has, at best, produced zero compelling candidates, and at worst, presented the conundrum of choosing the lesser of two evils.
The trend is understandable, but it doesn't make it any less problematic for the state of American politics. The democratic process is, in an ideal world, intended to allow the populace to be represented in the state. The fact that so many people don't see themselves represented in any of the major political candidates this election is especially troubling against the backdrop of incredible political apathy among the American public at large. After all, the U.S. is No. 31 out of 34 Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries with regard to voter turnout: only 65 percent of citizens of voting age are registered to vote in the U.S. Compare this statistic with other countries like Canada and the U.K. at 91 percent and nearly 99 percent in Japan, according to the Census Bureau.
So Americans already have the distinctly American problem of being disinterested in politics, the reasons for which have been hotly debated among both academics and politicians. The long-term and enduring reasons for this phenomenon are complex and certainly disputed, but the point is that this election seems to be exacerbating this problem of political alienation, and it may very well accelerate this negative trend.
It obviously isn't possible to reverse this trend overnight. And it seems, the way things are going now, that the 2016 election won't be the pivotal turning point.
But political participation doesn't have to be limited to just the presidential election. The presidential election does not — and should not — be the be-all and end-all of a person's involvement in impacting the government; it's only the most visible. There are certainly organizations that work on a variety of policy issues, regardless of at what point of the election cycle the country is. Here at Emory, the Young Democrats have made it particularly accessible to get involved with events for specific issues, such as mass incarceration, economic inequality, and various social justice issues.
Our college organizations also offer means for students to get involved with elections beyond the presidential one. Although political involvement certainly does not necessitate working within the lines of the two-party system, the Young Democrats and the College Republicans have some of the biggest opportunities for getting involved on campus. The Young Democrats offer opportunities for working with Congressional candidates, such as Senate challenger Jim Barksdale, and the College Republicans have made efforts to recruit volunteers for the incumbent Republican Sen. Johnny Isakson. The Young Democrats also plans to invite Georgia officials such as Rep. Taylor Bennett and Sen. Elena Parent to come speak to club members this year.
As young people, I know that we care a lot about our community. We donate money and volunteer at higher rates than any other generation for causes that we care about — not much of a surprise for students at Emory, where over 80 percent of the student body is involved in some kind of volunteer work. Despite that, we are also one of the most underrepresented groups in American politics, due to our even lower than low voter turnout rates: 20 percent in the most recent national election and 45 percent in the 2012 presidential election. Certainly, we must ensure that we are registering and voting in this election if we want our vision for the future to be represented in who is our president for the next four years.
But we also need to conceptualize new ways of mobilizing politics and creating change in this country. We are already doing it by means of community service, but we could be doing so much more through greater political engagement. Today's youth are uniquely concerned about rectifying social injustice in a way that isn't true for other age groups that are much more reliably active in politics. Today's youth are uniquely concerned about the environment because we will be the ones to face the consequences of the decisions made today in how we treat our planet.
The list goes on and on, the point being that young people have a unique and valuable perspective on the future of America, as well as for the world beyond, that is not currently being manifested in this country's politics. We, as the young people of Emory, should use voting in this year's election as a starting point for political engagement. We should also go on to find different, albeit less visible, means of effecting political change and shape our country through our vision of the future.
Sarah Lee is a College freshman from Northbrook, Illinois.

Finding the perfect gift for Dad can be tricky. Which is why it's always a good idea to gift him an experience instead. When was the last time your dad took a holiday? Why not gift him a mini-break this Father's Day. We've pulled together a list of dad-friendly destinations from our getaway range to get you started.
Was Dad always the one putting the tent up on family camping trips? Say thank you by gifting him a camping trip without the hassle. On this holiday, he'll still be able to feel connected to nature, without having to organise and unpack everything himself. He can simply sit back, relax and take in the stunning views from his deck.
If Dad loves his wine, a trip to the Hunter Valley will always be well received. Gift Dad the chance to unwind for two nights in a cosy cottage. This experience will see dad spoilt with a bottle of sparkling wine as well as a five-course meal with matching wines at Esca Bimbadgen.
Maybe the whole family needs a getaway, not just Dad! So why not spend some quality time together in the stunning Blue Mountains? Not only will you enjoy a relaxing escape, but you'll also get to experience Scenic World's skyway, cableway, railway and walkway!
Are wine and golf two of your dad's favourite things? Then this experience will make for the perfect Father's Day gift. He'll be staying in a charming cottage, indulging in good food and wine and playing golf on a top-rated course.
Gift Dad the chance to get back to nature with a luxury treehouse getaway in the Gold Coast hinterland. We suggest he switches off the mobile and enjoys a couple of days of peace and quiet soaking up the stunning views.
When it comes to holidays, not all dads are great at sitting still… So if you need an action-packed getaway, this one certainly fits the bill. He'll get the chance to cruise the Whitsundays, play pool, tennis, paddleboard, kayak, walk on the beach and snorkel as much as he likes!
Spoil Dad with a getaway to the iconic Kangaroo Island. This is a pretty special place to explore and he'll get the chance to see some amazing wildlife. This accommodation sleeps up to six people, so it's another great option for a family getaway.
If your dad is the kind of guy that would prefer something cruiser than a helicopter flight, a hot air balloon ride is a perfect alternative. This luxury experience includes a hot air balloon flight over the Yarra Valley as well as a stay in a deluxe spa suite, a three-course dinner and buffet breakfast!

Thank you for solving my runway issues with my plane. Your ETX36D turns the engine over like I never imagined it could and it also solved my low voltage issues I had while I was sitting idle on the tarmac. And it also took off 11 1/5 pounds off my plane as well! It is almost like magic in my plane. Very impressed.

The mind is a muscle and it needs exercise. Doing the exercise of reading, it helps develop the mind. Apart from understanding the written word, the young children grow the ability to use vocabulary and develop language skills. This apart, reading also expands listening skills which help focus on understanding what someone else is communicating.
Reading is the sole means by which you break away and enter into some other world instantly. Because reading let us discover new things. Be it reading books, magazines or news, if a person knows how to read and engross all it has as a learning factor, can educate themselves in any sphere of life that they are interested in. In today's world, there is no lack of information anywhere, all it needs to read, understand and absorb.
Reading also enhances the knowledge and thinking skills of every person. As it helps develop imagination. The more we read, the more we imagine. The more we imagine, the more is the chance of dreaming big and making them successful. With reading, one can go any part of this world. The possibilities are endless. To some extent, non-readers are unable to experience these joys. Developing the pleasure for reading in students as well as others, Oakridge, one of the top CBSE schools in Chandigarh celebrated 'One Nation Reading Together (ONRT)'.
Oakridge International School Library this year conducted the ONRT' 2018 on 30th November to bring together the whole school community including drivers and sub-staff. It was a mesmerizing sight, seeing everyone read and entering other worlds! The core objective is to motivate everyone towards reading and inculcate in them the same habit. The half an hour rides of reading and a respite from a busy schedule was a spellbound sight to witness.
We at Oakridge, Mohali Campus, continuously encourage the children to read and cultivate the reading habit. There are many interesting activities conducted for students for this purpose. ONRT is a programme initiated by Scholastic and the junior school students were a part of ONRT — One Nation Reading Together programme celebrated throughout the nation.

Artist Signed Chrome Wheel Kaleidoscope By Chesnik Studios with 1.25 inch Diameter Chrome Barrel. This new model was designed to replace the Cadet Stained Glass Art, Dichroic is a smaller version of her popular Floret Dichroic (ECD). Dimensions of the brass Barrel and Wheels are approx 7 1/8 Inches long. The 2 dichroic Glass Wheels are approx 2 1/4 inches in Diameter and the brass Barrel is approx 1 1/4 inches in Diameter. Wooden base is included as well.The solid wood stand is in approx 5 7/8 inches in length by 5 7/8 inches in width by 1 3/4 inches in height.
This scope comes with two dichroic glass wheels. Dichroic glass is formed by vacuum plating various metals on the surface of glass forming a rainbow of colors. When viewing this kaleidoscope, dichroic colors change also by different lighting and it does seem to be affected somewhat by colors around it. The wheels are interchangeable on this kaleidoscope and wheels such as an agate wheel and a stained glass wheel are available for this kaleidoscope. Janice's craftsmanship is superb in all her work. Her attention to detail is wonderful. Her mirror systems are among the finest in the business.
As with all her current work the chrome barrels have now been professionally coated with a tarnish resistant finish. This process is done by the same manufactures that provide professional finishes for faucets.
Also comes in a nice white corrugated box for safe arrival to you and for easy gift wrapping.

Its a stunning piece just sitting on my nightstand but words cant describe the vivid array of colors the artist was able to capture in the turning of the two wheels. The stain glass is exquisite and the colors are rich and vibrant. The artist did a phenomenal job. Thank you for my little piece of beauty!

I absolutely love my kaleidoscope. I am going through some very difficult times right now and I bought the kaleidoscope as a reminder that there is still beauty all around me - all I have to do is find a source of light and turn the wheel. I keep it next to my bed and the first thing I do every morning is point it toward the window and give the wheel a turn.

Massey Tunnel bike shuttle service operates this winter
Big news in the world of regional cycling! The Massey Tunnel bike shuttle service will be extending its weekday operation through the wintertime, as a service trial project by the B.C. Ministry of Transportation.
If you don't know about it, Massey Tunnel is the tunnel that connects Richmond to Delta, running four lanes of traffic under the south arm of the Fraser River. The traffic doesn't really allow bikes to get through easily, Bike traffic is prohibited through the tunnel, so the Ministry of Transportation provides a shuttle bus service from one end to the other over the summer.
However, this year, the Ministry will be providing weekday shuttle bus service in winter as well as summer. From Oct. 14 to Apr. 24, shuttle service will continue during weekday morning and afternoon peaks, as well as Remembrance Day (Nov. 11), Good Friday (Apr. 10) and Easter Monday (Apr. 13). The increased service is a test run to encourage cycling as an alternative mode of transportation. At the end of the trial, the Ministry will examine how effective the winter shuttle is and possibly continue the service in the future.
The winter weekday shuttle schedule is below — note that while summer service has 10 shuttles a day in both directions, the winter service provides only six shuttles a day in both directions.
Weekday Service Schedule
(Now adjusted to reflect Nov. 17 schedule changes)
(leaving Richmond)
(leaving Delta)
For more information about the service, please visit the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure's website or their Massey Tunnel Bike Shuttle page.

To say "the traffic doesn't really allow bikes to get through easily" suggests that they could get through with some difficulty, whereas the reality is they can't get through at all as they are prohibited, which makes the extended operation of the shuttle very welcome.
By Jhenifer Pabillano, October 17, 2008 @ 1:30 pm
Thanks for the adjustment, fnor!
By JeffBarker, November 17, 2008 @ 9:42 am
As of today (Nov. 17) the schedule has been adjusted for afternoon northbound trips. The 3:30pm has been removed and a 6:30pm has been added.
By Jhenifer Pabillano, November 17, 2008 @ 9:43 am
Thanks – I'll add that to the main post!
By RodB, November 24, 2008 @ 10:03 pm
Well done! We'll make this a bicycle friendly city yet.

Bal received his B.A. from the University of Delhi. After graduating, he sold automotive parts. Through his work, he encountered someone adjusting a claim on a truck. Intrigued, he learned more about adjusting and soon decided it was the career for him. He hasn't looked back since.
After moving to Canada in 2007, Bal earned his Chartered Insurance Professional (CIP) designation from the Insurance Institute of Canada. More recently, he completed the courses necessary for his Water Damage Restoration (WRT) designation.
Bal will continue to work toward his goals without letting a fear of failure stand in his way—something he feels everyone should do. His mantra of success is "I believe that you can win if you want."
The personal side
Bal lives with his wife, their daughter and their cat. He enjoys going on long drives with his family and hiking along mountain trails. In his spare time, he reads books that motivate him to achieve more. His favorite book is The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari: A Fable About Fulfilling Your Dreams and Reaching Your Destiny by Robin S. Sharma.
Balvinder Cheema, BA, CIP, WRT
Branch Manager Brampton/Peterborough
Executive Adjuster
Balvinder Cheema is both an executive adjuster and the branch manager of two DSB Claims locations: Brampton and Peterborough. After dealing with claims for twenty-five years, he knows the process well and, equally importantly, he understands how to explain it to clients in a way that will put them at ease. He believes in a personal handling of claims, and that no claim is difficult if it's done right.
Key strengths & specialties
You won't find him procrastinating. He believes in getting things done the right way and at the right time. This means that he'll deal with a claim immediately, whenever it comes to him.
He also believes in explaining complicated issues correctly the first time. To him, if clients are confused regarding the claims process, it's a sign that matters weren't explained to them well. He strives to use concise, plain language to avoid misunderstandings.
Do the job, do it immediately, and do it correctly—that's his approach to adjusting.

Science and Nonsense
A new study reconfirms old studies that showed that we share our propensity for war with our Chimpanzee cousins. That's certainly no surprise to me. the cited article is interested in the question:
Is war a modern human invention, or does it have deep roots in biology?
I didn't have much doubt about that either. More dismaying to me is the reaction of some on the academic left.
Brian Ferguson, director of Peace and Conflict Studies at Rutgers University at Newark, said he disagrees with the new study's interpretation of the data, as well as the methods used to rate the role of human influence on the chimp behavior.
Since Wrangham's book "Demonic Males" was published, Ferguson said he has been compiling an exhaustive response, although he acknowledged that most primatologists who study chimpanzees do not agree with him.
"If people think that it is in our nature to go to war, that we're somehow by evolution primed to go out and kill members of other groups, it leads to a kind of fatalism: you never can change that," Ferguson said. Instead, he believes the evidence shows war is a recent invention.
In other words, he doesn't believe it because he doesn't want to. If he really would like to eliminate war, playing just pretend is not the way to do it. Instead, one needs to look at the factors that promote and discourage war and inhibit the first and promote the second. Fooling yourself won't help.

text: It was a spontaneous idea to book a flight to Istanbul. Actually the main reason we chose Istanbul was the price of the flight as we were quite late already. There were no expectations towards the city and I knew nothing about it. However as soon as we got there we fell in love. It's easy to say Istanbul is one of the most beautiful and amazing cities I've ever been.

Title: Risk Free Blackjack
Author: Gary Free
When you gamble with the intention of winning money, you need a statistical edge. However, if you are using money that you obtained virtually risk-free, you will need less of an edge.
Blackjack is a game of skill, where the casino has a small edge compared to other casino games. Therefore, blackjack is one of the best casino games from the point of view of winning money.
Risk Free Blackjack teaches you how to fund your blackjack at virtually no risk. I am not talking about casino bonuses that you have to grind out. I am talking about real cash upfront.
In addition, you will learn basic blackjack strategy, card counting and a short-cut method of card counting. You will also learn a staking system. This is not a random progressive staking system. There is clear rationale behind the system.
If you are interested in maximising your chances of making money from the casinos, Risk Free Blackjack is a must-read!

Title: How to Pick a Shopping Cart System
Author: Tom Antion
Most people new to selling on the Internet fall prey to the companies that give them free shopping carts. This ebook tells all the features a good shopping cart and ecommerce system should have and how these features help you sell more to the same number of visitors. A good shopping art system will also help automate your business so you have more time to enjoy life and to spend all that money that's coming in online.
High quality, yet affordable shopping cart systems will deliver customer service for you automatically, allow you to broadcast personalized email to your customers and prospects, evaluate your sales letters to tell you which one is making you the most money and they'll do much more to help you toward your goals of financial independence and online sales.
Another thing to consider is that most of the free shopping carts will barely handle one website. A good shopping cart system can handle as many websites as you can put up. This allows you to put up many simple websites on cheap hosting services and not have to worry about complicated ecommerce installations at each site.
This ebook will tell you everything you need to know about setting up quality ecommerce systems on your websites.

Title: Fear Control: How To Take Risks & Win At Life
Author: Trevor Emdon
Has your life delivered on its promises? You can blame your circumstances if you want but that doesn't really make you feel better, does it?
Besides, there are people who have achieved incredible feats against terrible odds, so do you really have an excuse?
The fact is, you can have far more control over your destiny than you might ever have imagined ... until now.
You may believe that you're frightened of nothing and nobody, but most of us worry about that we'll lose everything or that our friends and loved ones will think badly of us ... so we play it safe.
Sometimes too safe.
Earl Nightingale said, "Some people tiptoe through life hoping to make it safely to the grave."
If that's you then this book is not for you.
But if you'd like to get more out of life before it's too late, now is the time to read this precious little gem - and change your life for the better forever.

The difference between just delivering security and ensuring secure business operations.
The 'current state' enterprise is unprepared for the security ramifications of global changes and must redefine its security posture via a business-centric, holistic risk management approach that spans people, goods and assets as well as information systems. Redefining security in this manner will provide the future foundation by which to manage risk and develop new ways to conduct business.
Today's security challenges for the typical government and corporate enterprise include external environmental factors, internal factors such as achieving the right balance between agility and assurance, and dynamic factors in terms of maintaining the correct level of preparedness to match ever-changing threat conditions.
Governments and businesses are challenged to operate efficiently and effectively in harsh environments while trying to maintain a balance between 'assured' and 'agile' commerce. With threats to business continuity, the need for disaster preparedness and the need for strong risk mitigation and management, it is critical that organisations redefine their security posture if they hope to survive and continue to grow. Given the many challenges within today's enterprises and the current state of enterprise security, it is essential for businesses to adopt and follow principles that will lead to secure business operations.
* Security must be holistic. Enterprise security should no longer be defined as simply IT security plus guards, guns and gates. It must be considered holistically across the entire enterprise, from the business and its goals, identifying people to tracking and tracing goods and assets, to securing IT systems.
Creative strategies and operational plans for prevention, detection and reaction. The need is as fundamental as the presence or absence of an immune system for the human body. Intranet and extranet (Internet) connectivity is almost a business imperative and you simply cannot survive that environment without the appropriate safeguards. It is a question of when the typical enterprise will be confronted with a disruptive event. Organisations must not just plan for prevention but also for detection and reaction to minimise adverse events and maintain business continuity.
* Visibility is critical. Visibility into enterprise processes can enable both 'assured' and 'agile' commerce. An enterprise cannot secure what it cannot see or what it does not know.
* Enhanced public/private collaboration. To protect against rising threat levels, greater public/private collaboration and greater internal collaboration are necessary.
* Take a proactive stance and look beyond compliance for competitive advantage. Compliance requirements are viewed as a cost of doing business, and organisations consequently adopt a minimal approach. Initiatives to support compliance should also be evaluated for opportunities to leverage the investment for innovation and growth. A governance profile of secure business operations is an attractive attribute for customers, suppliers and investors. As a matter of course a proactive approach that is part and parcel of business operations will surface and identify security and privacy concerns before they become 'disruptive events'. In addition investment in compliance can often be leveraged for improved business process insight and operational efficiency. Simply good governance.
Enterprises today need an holistic approach to security - one that is part of everyday business operations and combines management and process expertise based on industry standards with technological skill and business centric operational excellence. An approach that views security policies, procedures, and technology as more than just a way to protect against the occurrence of unwanted events, but also as a means of reducing organisational costs, improving operations and enabling new business opportunities.
Unisys Africa calls this approach 'secure business operations'. Based on the seemingly simple premise that you cannot secure what you cannot see. Yet it requires an in depth understanding of the many facets of security, the business and the industry in which an organisation operates, and the methodologies and tools that can provide the insight needed to make the right security investment decisions.
Whether a business is protecting physical and IT infrastructures; addressing concerns about privacy and identity theft; controlling access to government benefits, physical or logical resources; participating in e-business initiatives; complying with governmental regulations; tracking goods and assets; securing your supply chain - or all of the above - companies need insight and awareness to effectively manage their business and security risks.
This is the crucial difference between delivering security and ensuring secure business operations. The ability to visualise the different elements of your environment, understand the causal relationships and take the appropriate steps to maximise your security investments.
In both public and private sector, organisations around the globe need to focus their attention on operational efficiency and planned profitable growth - rather than constantly worrying about the continuity, integrity, and security of their operations. They need the knowledge and peace of mind gained from secure business operations that enables them to focus on their core activities. After all, how can a business secure what it cannot see? Or expand without worrying about the security implications?

With that next family dinner right around the corner, I wanted to share with you a super amazing recipe that is going to save you time in the kitchen and really add to your menu: whole wheat dinner rolls, made in a slow cooker!
You might be asking yourself: can I make bread in a slow cooker? I know it's a question I, myself have asked in the past, and the answer is a big resounding YES! You can use your slow cooker/crockpot to make bread and dinner rolls!
Not only are these whole wheat dinner rolls amazingly delicious, but since they're made in a slow cooker, you're freeing up oven space (although I will mention I do like putting these whole wheat dinner rolls under the broiler for 2 minutes at the end before serving to give them a nice brown color, but that step is optional).
Ok, so I need to know…is anyone else in denial that Easter is less than 2 weeks away? The holiday is creeping up on us!
My husband keeps gently reminding me that we need to talk about our Easter brunch menu because we are hosting Easter this year. So I'm forgoing this weeks' Five Ingredient Friday to share this recipe with you, because it's a definite "must make/should make" on your Easter menu.
Are we crazy for hosting? Probably. But it's Ben's first Easter and I am SO excited about making a little Easter basket and doing an Easter egg hunt (if you have any tips/tricks/suggestions of what to put in a baby's Easter basket please let me know in the comments below – I also what to know what you're cooking!)
We also have lots of family who live near by, and I know they will contribute (my father-in-law (hi Ken) is an amazing bread baker, he's the one who always helps me with bread recipes like this cinnamon sugar challah braid we made for Easter a few years ago.)
I'm all about simplifying the day-of an event cooking. I don't want to be doing a lot of active cooking, I want to enjoy time with my guests. So I'm turning to my slow cooker/crockpot to do the work for me. Just like with these slow cooker cinnamon rolls (love them and have them on the menu), these whole wheat dinner rolls are made in a slow cooker.
Because they're cooked with slow heat, you don't need to wait for a million hours for yeast to rise (hint: I'm super impatient when baking bread!)
Speaking of yeast, it's safe to say that I LOVE Red Star Yeast. It's legit the only brand I use when baking with yeast. I've had some pretty astronomical yeast-baking failures with other brands of yeast (like where it never rises and are left with a dense/flat end product), so I am happy to report that I exclusively use Red Star Yeast brand.
I didn't even use a fancy mixer or anything to make these dinner rolls, I simply used a wooden spoon to stir the mixture, then the slow cooker did the rest. No joke, these dinner rolls were one of the easiest recipes I've made.
And they're so delicious. SO SO delicious. They're whole wheat, but not in a dry and unappetizing way. The flavor is so good in these rolls, it's really hard to just eat one. They're soft and fluffy on the inside and have a nice hearty quality because of the whole wheat in them.
These whole wheat dinner rolls made in a slow cooker will become a favorite for family dinners and gatherings, and you'll love how easy they are to make!

File under: be careful what you wish for…
I issued an offer on <CG> to build a tournament collection for the first three takers. <Chessical> suggested a good one, Mar del Plata (1948). Here's his note:
|Chessical: <Zanzibar> May I suggest Mar del Plata 1948, which was a noteable tournament with strong South American, European masters as well as the maverick American representative Denker.[Event "Mar del Plata"]
[Site "Mar del Plata"]
[Date "1948.??.??"]
And here's the cross table his link references:
(Follow the link for a better looking table.)
The problem here is that this is a round-robin crosstable (xtab), and we need a Swiss xtab. The Swiss xtab will have both round numbers and colors for the pairings. This more exact knowledge facilitates building the collection – and is fact mandatory for my latest version of the software. But we do see that there are 18 players in a RR tournament => N_games = (18*17)/2 = 153 games.
Let's follow this process as closely as possible, so that some of the issues are exposed. I'll try to put up useful screenshots as we go along.
The first step, for me, is to see what I already have – by finding the tournament in one of my databases, e.g. <MillBase>, <RUSbase>, etc. Here is the header search for <MillBase>, using my favorite program, SCID:
I highlighted the search terms, which are best broad at first, and refined if needed later. Here, I just use the site and year. This search yields 153 games, as can be seen in the bottom left corner. So <MillBase> presumably does have all the games for the tournament.
Let's take a long at what we have, using SCID's gamelist window:
The <Game List> window is shown in the upper right corner (I'm showing all of SCID to given you an idea). The horizontal scroll tab is about half-way through the list which is enough to show the problem – <MillBase> doesn't have any round number information, and so it puts all games as round 1.
Now this is where the biographer typically earns their salt – sometimes doing historical research in newspapers to determine round number pairings. It can be tedious, but necessary, work.
But sometimes you luck out, and the work becomes unnecessary – for you, luckily. That is, if somebody else has already done the work. For example, searching Google for <Mar del Plata 1948> I discovered PGNmentor already has this tournament.
Not only does it already have the tournament, but also provides the round numbers:
Now, let's download this PGN and load it into SCID:
SCID has a bunch of tabs – for the move list, comments, Database Switcher, Game List, etc. We see that I've loaded the PGN in, and we can then look at a game from the tournament. Having selected a game, we can then ask SCID to create a Swiss xtab, provided all the round numbers are in place. It looks like this:
SCID has a rather extensive knowledge of players, which includes nationality, FIDE titles, and dob. Using the verbose labeling on a crosstable allows spotting mismatches. For example, two of the players are clearly incorrectly identified, as shown by having negative ages. A third player, Olivera, doesn't have an age at all, and should be examined too.
Although this might seem to be a bit of overkill now (after all, we have the names right?), doing a little homework at this point can save a lot of trouble down the line. On the other hand, we did get a complete Swiss xtab, and we could run the automated tournament builder script right now, just to see where we are. Let's do that to finish this first part of the post:
I told SCID to save the xtab as the text file: "C:\Temp\Mar del Plata (1948) – Swiss.xtab". Then I ran my python script on it. The first two players, Eliskases and Stahlberg were handled properly, but the program couldn't find a match in its list of <CG> players for Medina Garcia.
Well, you really didn't expect clear sailing from start to finish did you?
That's enough for this first part, I wrote it up as I went along. Having found a problem is a good place for me to stop, as I need to investigate a little (in private – as one of my favorite physics professors told me – "never integrate in public"!).

Well, it takes a bit of doing. Here is the concept:
You will need a form that is openin the FE the entire session with a record source to a table in the BE. It can be a one record table. I use a text field I can put a message in.
The timer event should check the value of field each time it fires. If the field has a vaule other than "", then start the shutdown process. I usually allow the users 5 minutes. The time event should look something like this (air code from memory:
dim lngTimeGone as Long
With Me
If lngTimeGone = 0 then
If rst!Message <> vbNullString then
.Visible = True
.txtMessage1 = rst!Message
.txtMessage2 = "Application Will Shut Down in 5 minutes.
lngTimeGone = 1
ElseIf lngTimeGone <= 5 Then
lngTimeGone = lngTimeGone + 1
End If

So it have a table linked with 1 field. Text box on my switchboard form that always stays open. I placed the VB code AfterUpdate? on that text box? Compile error method or data member not found. highlights the .txtMessage1 any Ideas?
Private Sub Text22_AfterUpdate()
Dim lngTimeGone As Long
With Me
If lngTimeGone = 0 Then
If rst!Message <> vbNullString Then
.Visible = True
.txtMessage1 = rst!Message
.txtMessage2 = "Application Will Shut Down in 5 minutes."
lngTimeGone = 1
ElseIf lngTimeGone <= 5 Then
lngTimeGone = lngTimeGone + 1
End If
End Sub

An intrinsic way to do it is called "passive shutdown". What you do is set a property on a database file, then with that property set, no NEW connections will be granted. Read more about that here (Connection Control (aka: Passive Shutdown) property )
I have a utility in UA's code archive that tells you who is connected, and lets you manage the Connection Control property. I find it very useful when managing ACE database files. Here is the utility: Who's Connected.
I have often been so successful with using Connection Control / Passive Shutdown, then I don't need to implement something to force others out. But, when I do, I use Connection Control as my "flag" then in a Timer event I read that property, if the property is set, then I shut people down. By using the Connection Control property it keeps things as close to native as possible.

Simply download the sample database from Roger's website (link in my original reply). It has everything you need. You merely copy it into your db and it works. You can also take the time to dissect it and understand it, but at least you are starting from a fully functional example.

The link in the last post is incorrect but the one in post #2 worked.
I've updated the utility to A2010 but you will need to relink the FE and BE.
Hope that helps
NOTE: I've not tested it as I have my own code to do this. From the description mine is almost the same.

Steve Kelly from The Wave Church!
This Sunday we are so excited to welcome Pastor Steve Kelly from The Wave Church in Virginia Beach, Virginia. The Wave is an amazing, dynamic church. Troy and I simply love it. If you have never been to Hillsong Church in Sydney, Australia, you can experience the same feel state-side at The Wave. Pastor Steve was on staff at Hillsong for many years and was part of their senior leadership team. His wealth of knowledge is amazing. Troy and I never walk away from him without something amazing that we have learned. We will see you at on of our 3 services this Sunday, 8:30, 10, and 11:30 am! http://www.FreedomHouseChurch.org
Here is a little more on Pastor Steve:
With over two decades of full-time ministry to draw from, Pastor Steve Kelly is a leading voice for a new generation of believers —a generation that builds its hope on the abundance of God's grace and the gift of His righteousness.Pastor Steve's humorous, personal and practical style of preaching complements the anointing he has as a preacher of the Word of God. His dynamic messages have always been centered on the gospel of the grace of God based on the finished work of Jesus Christ. Over the years, Pastor Steve's ministry has led thousands of people into a relationship with Jesus Christ, afresh as they see His love, goodness and grace.
See you on Sunday!

In the Wake of the Day
So, after I went and splatted you all with my Day and all the associated giphy madness therein, I figured I ought to at least do you the courtesy of giving you an update.
I have received a genuwhine patch build of the misbehaving software, one that has not yet been made available to the
shee… erm… general public. Said patch works. Precisely why this flaw was not uncovered prior to release is something I would prefer not to expound upon, simply because I don't think the profanity filter is capable of handling that kind of outpouring.
The workplace is still not what it should be, although thank all things deific a working air conditioner was finally installed today. That should put an end to having portable units with their vents wired up to the ceiling scattered around the place, as well as the extra noise, and the discomfort that goes with being in the little corner where said portable wheel-around air conditioners do not reach.
The noise level has dropped as proper dampeners have been put in. It's still not good but it's bearable. As my absence from the comments would suggest, I don't really have much energy left over after the work day. Used to be I could manage an hour or two of extra whatever if I had to (that's before I become dangerous to myself because my coordination is shot – oh, narcolepsy, how I love thee… Not), now it's down to about a quarter hour margin.
What I think of the building management is… unprintable. There's some kind of alarm going off in the equipment room 3 days in 5, on average. When my employers signed the lease, building management had several months to check on all the equipment, make sure all the bracing and dampening was in place, and that it all bloody worked. Instead they wait for us to bitch about it. It should not take the a/c unit freezing over and dripping into our cube farm to get the damn thing checked out and fixed or replaced.
So color me extremely unimpressed, and change the subject so I don't start ranting.
mrsizer #
There was a tornado watch in Denver the other day. Our building management sent out an email about their "shelter and place" policy that somehow never got around to telling us where said place is. I'm certainly not staying in mostly glass 15th floor during a tornado, but having a 30 story building fall on my head doesn't seem a lot better. Confidence inspiring, it was.June 21, 2018

Smoked Out!
UPDATE (8:48pmCST): The game has been cancelled and as of right now, there is not a makeup game scheduled, though it sounds as though it will be played in Minnesota (the Wolves do get a home game vs. San Antonio this season!). The Spurs players have already left on a bus and the Timberwolves players are gathering their things from the arena and they'll be gone shortly as well.
UPDATE (8:40pmCST): The official word from the NBA is that a generator malfunction produced the smoke in the arena. According to Zgoda, Flip Saunders told the team party that the game is off and they're to get their stuff to leave, the Wolves players went back into the arena shortly thereafter.
Just before 8:40, the NBA on ESPN sent out a tweet that said the lights in the arena are back on and the key is to get the ventilators running to extract as much smoke as they can from the arena.
An escalator has reportedly caught fire in the Mexico City arena where tonight's Timberwolves-Spurs game was supposed to take place. The cause of the fire sounds as though it was a short in one of the arena's escalators.
Reports started to flood in around 7:30 this evening--one hour before the game was set to tip. Coupled with the fire, there was a power outage in the arena. Luckily they hadn't let fans into the 'bowl' and it was a quick evacuation.
@WolvesRadio (Alan Horton the voice of the Wolves on WCCO) said via Twitter that the players had been rounded back onto the buses and the entire arena was being evacuated. The refs followed a short time later--up the loading ramps and out of the building.
@JerryZgoda of the Star Tribune reported via Twitter that Adelman, Flip Saunders and Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich were huddled up together talking on the walkway to the ramp leading out of the arena. Shortly thereafter they left the arena towards the buses together.
In a quote from Pop (via Zgoda): Nobody should be breathing what's in the arena, let alone players exerting themselves, says game should be played in Minny on off day.
Zgoda reported a short time later that they're attempting to clear the smoke in the arena within 30 minutes--that was at 8:01pmCST. In a quote from TWolves CEO Chris Wright (via Zgoda), he says that the earliest the arena could be ready is 10:15, the other option is playing tomorrow night. Zgoda also added that he heard from an NBA official that David Stern really wants to play this game, tonight!
Zgoda also added that he overheard the Spurs team doctors say that there's no way to play in the arena tonight. It sounds as though the teams are pushing hard to not play tonight.
I'm writing this in the chronological order that the tweets are being sent out. As of 8:31, the only update is that the NBA wants to play, but it's obviously a matter of getting that smoke cleared.

But the more I think about it, the less sense it makes for the iPhone to even share the stage at the announcement with any other product.
In 2010, we had the last usual music event in September (September 1st). A few months later (October 20th, I think), we were greeted Back to the Mac featuring Mac OSX Lion and the first revision to the MacBook Air.
Having two events is not totally outside the realm of possibility. I know next to nothing how Apple launches products. Apple announced the original iPad with almost seventy days lead time. Apple might announce it at the iPhone event and have deployments all around by October. But I don't think so. Apple hasn't done that pre-announcement in a long time.

"My music is very first person, very autobiographical," said Lewis. "It's from my life experiences that I draw inspiration for my songs. This acoustic tour gives me the opportunity to share the stories behind my songs with my fans and play them stripped down, like I wrote them."
Recently wrapping sold-out dates on his SINNER TOUR, Lewis' in-demand live show electrifies audiences whenever he takes the stage. Country Rebel raved, "Lewis' voice rings out above all the noise and is even more powerful than ever before…"
The self-proclaimed "Northern Redneck" has achieved critical and commercial success with his last album SINNER earning him the No. 1 spot on the Top 200 Albums, Top Country Albums and Top Digital Albums Charts upon release.

I just got combat mission shock force 2 and i started to play my first game and noticed that the vehicles would not be visible i can see the humans in the vehicles and the icon of the vehicle but the vehicle will not appear i changed the texture quality and detail levels multiple times but to no luck. I have other Combat mission games like Normandy, Red Thunder, and Final blitzkrieg and the vehicles show up with no problem and this is the first time I am having this problem. If anyone has a solution it will be greatly appreciated.

CMFI/GL Version 3 Halftrack Bug
CHEqTRO posted a topic in Archieved CM Fortress Italy Tech SupportHi, I had recently bought Combat Mission Fortress Italy game, with the Gustav Line Bundle, and after that, I also bought the X3 Upgrade. The problem is that after just some minutes of playing it, i found a serious visual glitch with halftracks. Here you have the photo. As you can see, the gunner is not correctly displayed. Also, even though the halftrack that I am showing is the Sdkfz 250/1, it actually happens to ALL vehicles that are marked as halftrack (M2, M3, M3A1, M5, M9A1, Sdkfz 251/1 Ausf C and D (even Sdkfz 251/3) etc...), but not to similar vehicles like M3A1 White Scout Car (It is not marked like a halftrack) There is any fix for this problem? Or I just should reeinstalling the game?
