Kesternich Test
A test of the corrosion resistance of materials and fasteners which involves repeated condensation and drying cycles. GRABBER fasteners submitted for Kesternich tests are maintained at 18° C to 28° C and 75% humidity for 16 hours, after being exposed to a contained sulfur dioxide atmosphere at 40° C and 100% humidity for 8 hours. Test results are expressed in the number of cycles of exposure completed without evidence of normal corrosion.
Pull-out Resistance
Amount of force required to pull a fastener out of a specified thickness of wood or steel.
Salt Spray Test
A common testing method to determine the corrosion resistance of plating and finishes. Fasteners and materials to be tested are placed in a fog chamber with an atmospheric mixture of water and sodium chloride that is maintained at 100% humidity. Test results are expressed in hours of exposure without evidence of normal corrosion. Tests are conducted in accordance to ASTM B117.
Shear Strength
Measure of the force that when applied at a right angle, will break a fastener.
Ultimate Load
A load that during a controlled test, produced complete failure of the fastener.
GRABBER line of self drilling screws for use with 12-20 gauge steel.
GRABBER Fasteners
Coarse thread screws with super-sharp points, designed for drywall to wood and wood-to-wood applications.
Pilot Point
A self drilling screw with an unthreaded portion of the shank between the point and the threads. Designed to attach wood or plywood to 14-20 gauge steel.
Self Drilling Screws
Fasteners with a point capable of drilling into medium to heavy 12–20 gauge steel. Drill points are classified as #1 through #5, with a #5 point being capable of penetrating thicker gauge metals. GRABBER manufactures fasteners with #2, #3, and #4 points.
Self Tapping Screws
A fastener that can tap its own threads. All GRABBER drywall screws are self tapping.
Streaker® Fasteners
Self-tapping screws with a unique thread, and a hardened, extra-sharp 23° point that allows direct penetration of 20 to 25 gauge steel.
Winged Fasteners
Used to attach plywood or particle board to 12-16 gauge steel. The wings bore a hole in the wood greater in diameter than the major diameter of the screw. As the point of the fastener enters the metal, the wings are broken off, allowing the fastener to tap into the metal.
Auger Point
A knurled thread used to ream out material to reduce driving torque in hard materials.
Grabber Point
Coarse thread screws with super-sharp points, designed for wood-to-wood applications.
A self drilling point with an unthreaded portion of the shank between the point and the threads, designed to attach wood or plywood to medium gauge metal.
QuickGrab Point
The QuickGrab point is an extra sharp point that helps the screw start faster. Grabber's exclusive QuickGrabTM point ensures screws start quicker and drive faster.
Streaker Point
Piercing sharp pointed gypsum board screw for metal studs. The STREAKER has an especially sharp point having multiple threads occurring within the other in the body portion of the screw. In the tapered portion of the screw, one of the threads gradually decreases in diameter and fades into the tapered portion of the shank and terminates. The other thread continues on toward the point end, decreases in diameter and fades into the tapered portion of the shank at a point nearer the pointed end of the screw.
Type 17 Point
A screw slotted at the point (shank slotted) to aid in drilling and displacing hard materials.
Winged Point
Used to attach plywood or particle board to medium or heavy gauge steel. The wings bore a hole in the wood greater in diameter than the major diameter of the screw. As the point of the fastener enters the metal, the wings are broken off, allowing the fastener to tap into metal.

SPURS have said they "welcome" the decision to scrap the deal to hand the Olympic Stadium to West Ham, after ministers said it would remain public property.
West Ham were handed the stadium in March after a bitter bidding process but after Spurs launched lengthy legal action against the Olympic Park Legacy Company, ministers decided to scrap the plan.
Tottenham were due at the High Court next Tuesday in the latest part of their bid to launch a judicial review against the decision.
In a statement, the club said: "We welcome the Olympic Park Legacy Company decision to end the current Olympic Stadium bid process.
"We firmly believe that the bid we put forward was, in fact, a realistic sporting solution for the stadium, along with a substantial return to the taxpayer, community programming and athletics provision."
The stadium is now likely to be rented to a football team after the 2012 Games, with Mayor of London Boris Johnson saying earlier today that it would "almost certainly be West Ham".

rti happenings: Par panel findings cannot be withheld indefinitely: CIC
karira posted a topic in RTI in MediaAs reported by PTI in news.msn.in.com on 14 June 2011: http://news.in.msn.com/national/article.aspx?cp-documentid=5208690 Par panel findings cannot be withheld indefinitely: CIC New Delhi, Jun 14 (PTI) Recommendations of Parliamentary committees cannot be kept out of citizens'' reach "indefinitely" even if they have not been tabled in the House, the Central Information Commission has held. Chief Information Commissioner Satyananda Mishra gave the order while directing the Rajya Sabha Secretariat to disclose the recommendations, on the implementation of the Right to Information Act, of the Parliamentary Standing Committee which have not been tabled in the House even after three years. The case relates to an RTI application by Pune-based activist Vihar Dhurve who sought to know from the Secretariat the recommendations and findings of the Committee but the information was denied to him. The Secretariat said since the recommendations of the Committee have not been placed before the Parliament, its disclosure under the transparency law would be breach of Parliamentary privileges. During the hearing before CIC Venkatesh Nayak of Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative, who was present from Dhurve''s side, it was argued that if the authorities chose not to place the Committee''s recommendations before the House even after three years,�the information could not be denied indefinitely. Agreeing with the view, Mishra said, "The Parliament of India is the highest law-making body. It has to be a model in implementing the laws it makes... Just because the competent authority has not decided to place it before Parliament even after lapse of about three years, it cannot indefinitely hold it back from citizens." Mishra further said in his orders, "It cannot be anybody''s argument that just because authorities decide not to act on the findings of the committee, it could be held back from the citizens by invoking one or the other provisions of the RTI Act for an indefinite period."

"A retailer prices a product,a customer values it for what it is worth"
This Quotable quote originated nowhere else but in my own mind after being subjected to several incidences of winning and loosing the customer and getting her nod and nay,not for me.
While doing a presentation on Retail pricing strategy I came across a lot of material Differential pricing,Mark up Pricing,Competitive pricing,Penetrative pricing and so on.
But my experience in real life told me that something was amiss.What about the customer ? You are talking about your business model,Your costs,Your margin targets,Your competitors,The market scenario and all else but what about the actual customer who will shell out money from her pocket and take a purchase decision in your favor.I am sure there will be a lot going on in her mind when she decides to part with that hard earned currency note or gets indebted for the next few months to the bank and pay high interest charges.
Are we even asking her what do you want ?
How about a customer pricing ? What's wrong is creating a product and asking a hundred of them what they would be willing to pay.I have no opposition to the pricing strategies traditionally in practice but I am just saying that something is missing specially in the context of retail.
Let's see and example :
What would pay for a plastic slipper in a hyper market – May be Rs99
What would you pay for the same plastic slipper if it has a good brand name printed on it – May be Rs 149
What would you pay for the same plastic slipper in flea market – Rs 49
what would you pay for a plastic slipper with a house brand of top luxury retailer – Rs 199
The function is the same and it is just possible that all the product is being sourced out of the same factory and the same assembly line but the customer will only pay so much at different locations.
And location is just one on the dimensions that plays in a customers mind.There could be so many others Festive season,Comfort,utility,distance/cost of acquisition etc etc.
Every retailer positions itself to serve a certain niche or target segment and that is perfect as an idea but where we continuously go wrong is that we fail to recognize is that while your customers are saying yes to many products in your store they are also saying no to a lot of products.This may impact profitability through loosing customer preference in terms of reduced shopping trips and increased frequency and intensity of markdowns on your product mix.
I strongly feel that retailers tend to loose the grip in the sense that what they feel is a great product or price turns out to be a damp squib with their customers.What should be transaction by transaction,customer by customer approach soon becomes a game of probability so much so that the buyers start building in for markdown in their business plans.While mark downs may not go away they can be substantially reduced by asking the customers what and how they feel about offerings.
Typically, a buyer will get in a product or a line of products and the DMM's,the store managers,The operations guys will all sit in a room and decide its fate.They will debate amongst themselves and the guy with the loudest voice and the heaviest weight will win.If you have a 'yes' man culture you can kiss your winter 2010 range good bye.The problem is that even if most people will know it they will not say it.
In contrast if we have panel of customers of different hues,age,sex,color,lifestyles and we get their opinion we may just find out to our horror that the so called 'winners' did not excite the audience and they ended up picking up stuff from the 'dumped' corner.
When a retailer is 'pricing' he is building up the stake of the entire company,his business plans,his growth projections,his stock price,his career path and everything else in between into it.His decisions cannot be but colored.
But when the customer ' valuing' a product she is deciding based on aesthetics comforting her eyes,the softness that her hand feels,the freshness that here senses smell,the utility that here mind perceives,the price that she paid for a comparable item some time back.She is not bothered about what the Ex factory price is,how much it cost to get the product from the Jungles of Africa or how much you pay your 26 vice presidents who have nothing to do with her moment of truth.She will just see what's in it for me and what I need to pay for it.If she fels that the transaction is in her favor she will go for it else you can put it on discount so it is up for revaluation when the second chance comes.
Again she gives two cents for your negative margins,vendor markdown supports,company policy so please be careful in repricing.You may discover that your Buy One get one offer is a cold turkey as no one wants to buy a yellow color T shirt with Parrot green collars with which you wanted to make a fashion statement in your boardroom.
Our customers are our biggest and most valued assests,let not keep them out of our business plans.

While there is no cure for cystic fibrosis, it remains a key commitment of the NHS that patients with this disorder are offered the best treatment available to help ease their symptoms and make the condition easier to live with.
I am glad that all new-born babies across the UK are screened for cystic fibrosis as part of the new-born blood spot test, carried out shortly after they are born. This helps to ensure early diagnosis, with the median age at diagnosis for the condition at two months, and faster treatment.
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has also recently produced a new best practice guideline for treating cystic fibrosis. This guidance ensures that clinicians are aware of the best methods to monitor the condition, manage symptoms, and improve the quality of life of patients with the disorder.
With regard to the availability of Orkambi for the treatment of cystic fibrosis, I know many families affected by cystic fibrosis have placed a great deal of hope in this drug. However, I understand that dialogue between NHS England and Vertex - Orkambi's manufacturer - remains ongoing, and I very much hope a positive solution can be found. You may also be pleased to know that NICE plans to review its guidance on the prescription of Orkambi for cystic fibrosis in July 2019.
I am aware that a debate was held on 4th February to discuss crown use licensing and how it might be used in the case of Orkambi. I understand that my colleagues in the Department of Health and Social Care are keeping all options on the table. However, they are clear that the quickest and best solution for patients is for Vertex to accept the NHS's offer - the largest ever offer of its kind in the history of the NHS. I and my Ministerial colleagues urge Vertex to accept this very generous offer.
I am delighted that the Cystic Fibrosis Trust is investing in cutting-edge research into transformational therapies and better treatments. With over £6.3 million invested into research by the Trust during the 2016/17 financial year, I am hopeful that this research will lead to even higher standards of living for those diagnosed with cystic fibrosis in the future.

Facing a 4-1 deficit in the ninth, No. 4 seed Nevada (29-25) plated two runs with the tying run at first in the final frame, but fell to No. 1 Fresno State (36-14-1) in the first round of the MW tournament 4-3. The Wolf Pack will play San Diego State tomorrow at 2 p.m. in a win-or-go-home contest.
Kaleb Foster was responsible for two of the Pack's three hits, including a solo shot in the opening inning over the right field wall to give Nevada an early 1-0 lead. The only other hit came in the form of a single in the eight inning by sophomore Joshua Zamora.
With Ryan Anderson earning the start, Nevada held onto its 1-0 lead into the fourth, until the Bulldogs loaded the bases with nobody out. Grant Ford came in relief, but thanks to a walk, a wild pitch and a two-RBI single, Fresno State plated its only four runs of the game in that inning.
Drama ensued in the ninth inning, when Foster and Tyler Bosetti each reached thanks to a walk, and a wild pitch moved them into scoring position. Conor Allard grounded out, but it allowed Foster to score and make the game 4-2 with two outs.
Freshman Matt Clayton came up to pinch hit, and walked to put the tying run on first. Unfortunately, Marco Valenzuela struck out and Nevada fell in round one.
The Nevada bullpen dominated the final four frames, only allowing three hits and no runs. Bradley Bonnenfant led the charge with four strikeouts for the Pack.
Tomorrow's contest will be live streamed on the Mountain West Network, with John Ramey on the call on 94.1 FM/1450 AM. Tickets are available online or by calling (775) 348-PACK.

Reno, NEV. — William Reeves, president of Lifeline BioTechnologies Inc., a company which has developed an early breast cancer detection system known as First Warning, today announced that construction has begun of its third neural network to further augment its proprietary analytical computer system called Chrononet.
Unlike most computer programs that require program designers to establish values, which will be considered positive, neural networks are self-learning; they are not pre-programmed.
The neural network will glean all pertinent data from each pathologically proven breast cancer case used in its training series. This data allows the network to identify images and patterns related to actual cancer cases. This new screening test for breast cancer is known as CAPP (Computer Assisted Physiological Profile).
Reeves indicated the company's computer programmers have been anxiously awaiting the new data, which is being generated in Argentina where the company is presently conducting its final phase of clinical trials.
Jim Holmes, CEO of Lifeline BioTechnologies, stated, "The beauty of neural networks is their self-learning capability, coupled with their ability to instantly `look' at the data and differentiate patterns and images, which are not readily evident to the human observer. This self-learning ability allows them to select and store information about each new cancer that is `viewed' and added to the system, thus making the system more and more powerful as time goes on."
Eighteen hundred women are being tested with CAPP in eleven sites in Argentina. Lifeline expects to continue testing in the U.S. in the near future. The new data from these clinical trials will enable the CAPP system to yield even more accurate results in profiling various breast pathologies, according to Holmes. The broader and more inclusive the information which is used in training these neural nets, the more precisely the system will perform in detecting breast cancer.
Reeves and Holmes both believe that eventually, and within a relatively short period of time, Lifeline will possess the largest database in the world containing actual observations of breast cancer physiology. They predict that CAPP will take its place as a standard for the detecting high-risk breast cancer cases, as the PAP smear did for cervical cancer, with comparable results in saving lives. Completion of the clinical trials and FDA clearance is anticipated next year.

JOHANNESBURG - The Limpopo Health Department is cancelling the contracts of over 150 community service doctors.
A further 450 nurses and other affiliated workers will also lose their jobs.
The province says it's terminating contracts due to financial pressure.
Limpopo Health MEC Phophi Ramathuba said the department is also looking at other ways to free up money.
Ramathuba said the retrenchments do not make sense and would be suggesting they look at overtime systems, amongst other cost-cutting measures.

MIAMI, FLORIDA October 31, 2018 – Mi9 Retail, a leading provider of omni-channel retail solutions, is pleased to announce that its e-Commerce platform has been successfully integrated with Klaviyo providing added value to its customers.
Klaviyo is a marketing platform designed to pull in and store all relevant transactional and behavioral e-commerce data and use it to power better email and advertising campaigns. For example, Klaviyo makes it straightforward to target and automate marketing based on consumer buying behavior (e.g. how much shoppers spent, the items they purchased, what they browsed but didn't buy), their preferences, the way they usually interact with the retailer, and much more.
Thanks to the Klaviyo pre-built abandoned cart flow, for instance, retailers can also easily encourage website visitors to return to their shopping cart and complete their purchases. They can also use Klaviyo's segmentation engine and visual flow builder to design automated abandoned cart campaigns that are tailored to different audience segments, including new vs. returning customers; or high spenders vs. occasional shoppers. Marketing Sherpa found that converted abandoners return to spend 55% more on purchases than non-abandoners, making 1:1 personalized abandoned cart emails real competitive differentiators.
"The out-of-the-box integration with Klaviyo will deliver added value to our e-commerce clients and even faster setup times," said Neil Moses, CEO of Mi9 Retail. He added: "We will continue working closely with them to help retailers create the hyper-targeted data-driven email campaigns they need to craft the perfect customer experience."
"We're excited to support the Mi9 Retail integration. Their vision for the future of personalized commerce is in line with ours," said Steve Wietrecki, CRO of Klaviyo. "To create successful customer engagement campaigns, retailers can no longer solely rely on guesswork. They need to put in place data-backed strategies to better communicate with customers and prospects."
About Klaviyo
Klaviyo is a marketing platform that accelerates growth for ecommerce merchants by enabling them possible for them to build strong relationships with consumers at scale. Klaviyo makes it easy to access, store, analyze, and use transactional and behavioral data to power highly targeted email and advertising campaigns. And unlike other marketing platforms Klaviyo doesn't force ecommerce merchants to choose between advanced functionality or ease of use – so brands are able to maximize their sales quickly. That's why over 8,000 innovative ecommerce companies like Brooklinen, Taylor Stitch, and Bonobos sell more with Klaviyo. Learn how they're doing it at www.klaviyo.com.

Rogue Brewmaster John Maier has been brewing craft beer for more than 30 years but he's been crafting Rogue Ales & Lagers since May 1, 1989.
May 17, 2019 — "We drove up to Newport and right down on the Bayfront, they had this garage and there was some construction going on and there were people hanging on, you know, working on the new brewery."
On May 1, 1989, John Maier walked into a garage on the Oregon Coast and brewed his first Rogue ale.
Thirty years and 22,562 brews later, John, a working Brewmaster, is still brewing ales and lagers and riding his bike over the Yaquina Bay Bridge each morning to Rogue World Headquarters in Newport, Oregon.
"Hiring John was the best damn decision Jack ever made. Hiring him and just saying, 'Go for it, John. Do whatever you want to,'" says Nate Linquist, Rogue's Head Cooper and the second longest-running employee just behind John.
Prior to Rogue, John graduated from the Siebel Institute of Technology in 1986 where he studied brewing; earned the 1988 Homebrewer of the Year award from the Homebrewers Association for Old Crustacean Barleywine; and brewed at Alaskan Brewing where he designed their Smoked Porter. Then he went Rogue.
The man's penchant for hops has not only earned him the nickname "More Hops" Maier but it also inspired us to grow our own hops. We planted rhizomes on a few acres in Independence, Oregon in 2007 as we faced a global hops shortage. Today we've grown 10 varieties of hops over 52 acres. That's not to mention the other beer and spirits ingredients we're cultivating for John's recipes.
Our Brewmaster has crafted over 200 styles of Rogue beer (along with a few that don't fit into your typical beer categories), including Dead Guy Ale, Hazelnut Brown Nectar and Chocolate Stout. Thanks to one of John's more notable brews, his facial hair is world famous. After testing his old-growth beard (he'd been growing it since 1978), we discovered a wild yeast that John used to design a brew we called Beard Beer.
His brews have taken home 2,009 awards over the years, including his most recent Gold from the 2018 Great American Beer Festival for St. Chuck's Smoke. And we continue to pledge that "John Maier live long and prosper" in our Rogue Nation Roguellegiance.
According to Brett Joyce, Rogue President from 2008 to 2018, "John was the perfect guy at the perfect time for Rogue in the perfect place. I mean John came to Newport in May of 1989 and John still lives in Newport."
Here's to John Maier and his 30 years a Rogue.
UPDATE: At his 30th Rogue-versary party in Newport, Oregon on May 18, John announced that he would be retiring at the end of July. While we'll miss his ever-present talent, leadership and expertise at the brewery, we know this won't be the last we'll see of him.
John plans to stay in Newport with his family and pups so we're pretty sure we'll still see him biking over the Yaquina Bay Bridge from time to time. And we're also not letting him go without a party. So on Saturday, July 27, we'll be raising a glass to John Maier at Rogue Eastside Pub & Brewery. Join us.

Australian architecture practices Jim Fitzpatrick Architects and Conrad Gargett have designed a glazed conference facility in the Papua New Guinean capital of Port Moresby. The building will host international meetings for the 2018 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum in November.
The building is located on a peninsula that extends into Walter Bay.
Design architect and design director Jim Fitzpatrick Architects was commissioned by PNG prime minister Peter O'Neill to design a building for APEC in October 2016. Conrad Gargett was commissioned for the documentation and delivery of the building.
To symbolize international trade negotiations, Jim Fitzpatrick Architects drew on the trading tradition of the Motu-Koita culture to inform the design of the building, named APEC Haus. This is most clearly seen in the building's form, which references the crab claw shape of the lakatoi, the Motu-Koita's distinctive double-hulled boat.
Jim Fitzpatrick Architects were also responsible for the design of the sculpture, in collaboration with Lump Studio, which looms 12 metres over the central entrance plaza. A depiction of two of the distinctive sails from the lakatoi, the copper and stainless steel sculpture is intended to represent readiness for "a prosperous journey of trade."
The referencing of local design traditions continues inside, with a 21-metre-wide wooden feature wall in the lobby engraved with a stepped tattoo design taken from traditional designs.
Jim Fitzpatrick Architects were also involved in designing and commissioning artworks that clad the outer walls of the building, as well as custom furniture pieces and displays for nationally significant artworks and historical artefacts.
The building is intended to become a conference, museum and exhibition facility after the APEC summit.

The Malaysian government will table a report proposing controversial changes to electoral boundaries in parliament next Wednesday (Mar 28), with the nation's 14th general elections expected to be called shortly after.
House of Representatives speaker Pandikar Amin Mulia told Members of Parliament on Thursday they would be given copies of the redelineation report by the Election Commission ahead of its tabling.
The recommendations that made it into the final report are embargoed. However, analysts say the proposals that were publicly displayed by the Election Commission at the early stages would give ruling coalition Barisan Nasional (BN) an advantage.
Ibrahim Suffian from the Merdeka Centre had told Channel NewsAsia the recommendations could even help BN win back the two-thirds majority it first lost in 2008.
Electoral reform group Bersih 2.0 and opposition MPs have been critical of the proposed changes, saying they give BN an unfair advantage by packing more voters into opposition seats and making BN seats smaller, giving the ruling coalition an easier shot at winning them.
Malaysia practices a first-past-the-post system whereby whoever wins elections would have had to win the most number of seats regardless of the number of votes. The opposition had won the popular vote in 2013.

Before betting online, you will have to go fishing for info. Pre-internet days, you would need to keep track of independent games or subscribe to weekly betting newsletters. However, the turn of the century has seen advances in information technology.
Online betting which has grown popular in the past decade has also ensured that there are loads of websites that provide resources for betting football. As football is the most popular sport in the world, there are tons of websites that provide predictions.

Fathers across the nation have turned to social media to discuss and express their disappointment over the lack of baby changing stations in men's bathrooms, posting photos of the often comical conditions in which they have to change their children's diapers: on the floor, squatting against the wall, and even sitting on the toilet. For business owners, it's a great reminder of how important it is to make sure your business is accessible to all types of customers. Here are some quick solutions to make sure your business is accessible to hard-working dads and others.
Install a Changing Table in the Mens' Room
If you already have a baby station installed in your women's restroom, as is the common practice, consider adding a changing station to the men's restroom, too. Baby changing stations can be found for as little as $150, and are a one-time cost that can help your business in the long run by appealing to dads.
Designate a "Family" Restroom
If you have single-occupant restrooms, consider making them gender-neutral. You can then install a changing a station in one of them and make sure to label it with appropriate signage to indicate it is a family restroom.
Don't Forget People with Disabilities
In addition to accommodating the needs of parents, it's important—and required by law—to make sure your business is accessible to people with disabilities. To learn more about legal requirements, read this Business Journals article, and for some practical advice on how to make your business accessible, check out this article from the Rick Hansen Foundation.
Making these small changes shows that you and your business are accepting and accessible, and that you care about your customers and their families. In addition, adding these accommodations reduces the risk of injury to your customers and potential financial liability on your part.

Demi's New Tracks!
Disney star Demi Lovato says she was excited to work with hip-hop MC Missy Elliott and producer Timbaland on her new 'Unbroken' album.
Speaking with MTV, the brunette admitted working with the urban legends on her new track 'All Night Long' couldn't have been more of a dream come true.
"I was so stoked when I went into the studio. I was working with Timbaland, and Missy was there…she heard one of the songs and she asked if she could rap on it,"
"And I was like, 'Of course, that's not even a question.' And she did, and she killed it."
The teen star added the new song is completely different to her previous hit 'Skyscraper' and shows off a new mature side.
"It's about staying up all night long and singing it to the boy that you like, and it's flirty and fun and it's not too grown-up, but it's grown-up enough."
The new album features a stack of collaborations with artists such as singer-songwriter Jason Derulo, R&B star Iyaz and 'Like a G6' singer Dev.
Things are definitely looking up for the 19 year-old, who recently completed a stint in rehab for 'emotional issues' and an eating disorder.
Are you looking forward hearing her new album? Let us know your thoughts by commenting below.
See the 'Here We Go Again' singer doing what she does best in the video clip below…

Most of us would never think to ask someone - much less a co-worker - how much money he or she makes. In fact, in most U.S. workplaces, the subject of salary and pay remains taboo. With the impetus of the "Me Too" movement, however, the subject of pay and, specifically, the disparity between how much female employees earn versus their male counterparts is getting more attention.
U.S. Supreme Court Strikes A Blow Against Workers' Rights
This past May, in a 5-4 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that employees must comply with arbitration clauses in their employment contracts. Those clauses require plaintiffs to resolve legal disputes with their employers through arbitration instead of joining other employees in class action lawsuits.

I'm Lisa Lee, an international senior and branding photographer based in Myrtle Beach, SC. Whether you live locally or are traveling in, I can't wait to meet you!
I just can't believe that summer is over. I'm not quite ready to let it go so we decided that we should end the season with a bonfire on the beach here in South Carolina. The Tribe met for their first styled shoot and had the best time ever.
Warm sun, soft sand, and salty waves made for the perfect location. Is there anything better than that Carolina sunset? I absolutely adore the girls that are apart of this 18.19. Tribe. These girls are balls of energy that have the sweetest hearts. I had a blast photographing them and ending the summer in true beach style!

At the video game forum where I hang out, someone linked to a rather stupid article from 2001 called "Where did all the catchy tunes go?", in which Steve Sailer claims that – well – things ain't what they used to be. I could have ignored it, could have walked away, but I thought there was a defence to be made for modern pop. I know this because I've been there: saying that there aren't great songs out there only proves that you haven't been paying attention.
Here's what I wrote as a forum post in response:
Sorry, but that article is absolute rubbish. Then again, I regard The Beatles as being highly overrated. Sure, they wrote some good songs, but I don't think they were really any better than The Kinks, for example.
When I was in my teens, I asked my mother if music really was any better in the 1960s, and she said that it was not. She gave me her collection of 'Motown Chartbusters' vinyl compilations and about 9/10 of the songs on there are completely vapid, forgettable tripe. If you can think straight off the top of your head of 20 truly memorable, terrific Motown songs (which almost everyone can), that's all that has stood the time out of the thousands of songs that were written over the course of that decade. Holland-Dozier-Holland were contracted songwriters like many other "hit factory" songwriters of the time – they got paid to pen tunes, 9-5 Monday-to-Friday – so you can only imagine how many songs they must have written in that time.
I have no idea what the rate of release was in 1965, but I do know that around twenty thousand albums were released in 2009.
Where are the likes of Holland-Dozier-Holland in 2011?
We can start with Cathy Dennis. You might remember her from her own brief career in the early 90s, but since then she's been writing hit after hit for other bands. Her most memorable songs include Kylie's 'Can't Get You Out Of My Head', Katy Perry's 'I Kissed A Girl', and Britney's 'Toxic'. Those songs weren't just huge hits, they were universally critically acclaimed. The first one alone won an Ivor Novello award. I'm pretty sure that those will be playing at 00s discos in the future.
Another contender is Linda Perry from 4 Non Blondes, who wrote Christina Aguilera's 'Beautiful', Pink's 'Get This Party Started' and Gwen Stefani's 'What You Waiting For'. Of course, we can't say for sure that we'll still be listening to those in forty years' time, but generally the songs that don't stand the test of time disappear within two or three years. I think we're stuck with those songs for at least the next half-century.
Collections of songs getting weaker? Rihanna's 'Good Girl Gone Bad' album had seven singles: 'Umbrella', 'Shut Up And Drive', 'Hate That I Love You', 'Don't Stop The Music', 'Take A Bow', 'If I Never See Your Face Again', and 'Rehab'. Of those, we can easily demonstrate the robustness of the songwriting on 'Umbrella', not just because it spent 10 consecutive weeks at #1 in the UK charts, but because of the sheer variety of great cover versions, from the sublime to the ridiculous. Prefer musicals? I bet most people here can sing the whole of 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' from start to glorious finish.
As to his points about grammy winners [that year] not being memorable, I loathe 'My Heart Will Go On' with a passion, but it's disingenuous to pretend we're not also stuck with that piece of crud forever. 'Kiss From A Rose' might not be the blogger's choice to sing in the shower, but it's definitely mine.
The blogger's casual dismissal of rap – and particularly Enimem – as being "tuneless" (that song chokes me up every time!) reminds me of when my dad dismissed 'Theme From S-Express' as "sounds like a car alarm going off". It just made me realise that he was old, past it, out-of-touch and clueless. As far as music was concerned, it was obvious that he didn't have the faintest idea what was going on and I just couldn't take anything he said seriously after that.
Oh well, if you need me, I'll be over here listening to catchy, brilliant new music.

I realized that certain decisions are easy to make,
But hard to fulfill.
Sometimes don't decisions make us go topsy-turvy?
So what's so bad about being indecisive sometimes?
It's hard, hard hard...
Anyway, it's always a good way to cool down after a fiery day at school,
By heading to TCC with some good company.
They never cease to make you smile again, just so naturally.

In the beginning, there was readnews.
There were a couple hundred newsgroups, and anyone capable of reading without drooling on their terminal could read all the news in a not-unreasonable amount of time. (This is referenced in the Hackers Test...)
Today, with thousands of newsgroups and millions of posters, you can't review a list of all the newsgroups in a reasonable period of time.
The second news reader, rn, provided "kill files" that allowed messages to be premarked as read based on article headers.
The "kill rules," highly representative of the "rule-based" approach, come in two varieties:
Local - to a particular newsgroup
Global across all newsgroups
This is an "obvious" extension of kill files; various keywords can be combined with different weights to build up an article "score."
Articles with high scores are likely "most interesting" should be read first; articles with poor scores (typically below some threshold) may be eliminated forthwith.
One might have things like the following SLRN scoring rules:
% These rules are for all newsgroups... [*] % AOL has a slight tendancy towards having bozos... Score: -5 From: aol.com % Slight reversal for MIT... Score: 5 From: mit.edu % I certainly want to see anything coming from linus... Score: 5000 From: Linus Torvalds % And nothing from Bob Allistat... Score: -9999 From: Bob Allistat % If Linux is mentioned, favor the article a bit... Score: 5 Subject: Linux % In a Linux group, a "Linux" subject is rather uninformative... [*linux*] Score: -5 Subject: Linux % In database newsgroups, I want to highlight Linux stuff... [comp.database*] Score: 100 Subject: linux % And vice-versa [comp.os.linux.*] Score: 100 Subject: data Subject: base Score: 100 Subject: dbm % Ditto for spreadsheets for Linux [comp.apps.spreadsheets] Score: 100 Subject: linux % And the converse rule [comp.os.linux.*] Score: 100 Subject: spread Subject: sheet
The most sophisticated scoring system comes in the Gnus news reader that integrates into GNU Emacs and XEmacs.
Anyone needing inspiration for improved features in a news reader should consult the Gnus documentation, and "steal" features from there.
Neat idea: Dynamic Scoring
If I read an article, give the topic/author a little positive score
If I don't read an article, give 'em a little negative score.
If I follow up or reply, give a big positive score, as I clearly found the article interesting
See also:
strn has one;
Brad Templeton created the NewsClip[tm] News Filtering Language.
The Gravity (Windoze) newsreader has a scoring system as do several other Windows-based newsreaders.
Windows developers don't seem to be very good at conforming to NNTP specifications; they are even less skillful at integrating common scoring systems.
Modular Article Filtering defines a protocol by which news readers can request score information from a server daemon.
Unfortunately, Tim Pierce's scheme is currently oriented towards writing small "scoring programs" to evaluate the scores in Perl or TCL. While I have no problem with the use of these languages as it certainly makes the scheme powerful, I don't think it is realistic to expect users (particularly those that may not be programming-literate) to write such code.
Netscape does not offer a filtering system, which is the primary reason I strongly recommend against using it as a newsreader.
This tool takes Yet Another Approach:
You create a "rule file" not dissimilar to the SLRN scheme
You run newsBot:
It reads your .newsrc file, and your "rules" file
It heads over to your NNTP server
It determines which articles should be discarded based on the rules
It updates your .newsrc file, marking "undesirable" articles as being already read.
Scoring newsreaders all have some sort of "score database," and I think it important that a score server have some interface that allows automated insertion/modification of rules. This should involve the following major features:
Commands in the protocol for inserting score rules into "the score database."
Utilities that can read score files in the native formats used by various news readers and insert equivalent score rules into "the score database."
Utilities to extract score rules in formats compatible with sundry news readers.
Major features that can come out of the use of a common rule database include:
Efficient handling of large rule databases
The scoring systems that I have used tend to significantly degrade in performance as the number of rules increases. For instance, in slrn, each rule consumes memory, and when I had about 5000 rules in my score file, loading and unloading the score "database" took vastly increasing amounts of time, and resulted in the slrn process consuming vast amounts of memory.
A more systematic "rule manager" could be designed to be memory efficient, perhaps storing rules in disk-based DBM files so as to minimize memory usage.
Rule Sharing
I've got a list of scoring rules for filtering out "SPAM" that have proved highly effective. (Just suppose.) Wouldn't it be nice to be able to import my antispam rules into your database? This suggests that it's necessary to have date/time/"IMPORT ID" information in the database so as to be able to purge/reload groups of related scoring rules.
In addition, this allows sharing of rules within a network domain.
Automatic query optimization
Score rules typically have multiple components, e.g. Here is an SLRN rule:
Score: -50 # Score value From: firstname.lastname@example.com Newsgroup: comp.os.linux.networkingThis rule indicates that messages from joeblow and posted to the Linux networking newsgroup should have a score of -50 attached to them.
If we're applying rules to the can.politics newsgroup, it is somewhat unlikely that this rule will apply.
The two "subrules" can probably be applied in an optimal order that will allow us to determine most quickly whether or not the aggregate rule applies.
For instance, if Joe posts a lot to other newsgroups, it would make sense to apply the Newsgroup: rule first, as it will more quickly eliminate the rule when it does not apply.
On the other hand, if Joe is extremely prolific in this newsgroup, and posts relatively little elsewhere, it would be sensible to try to match the "From:" rule first.
What the world needs is an RFC describing a standardized file format for news scoring, even if only to standardize "rule interchange."
adcomplain is a shell script through which you can redirect "offending" news and mail messages.
The script has the ability (in some cases) to search for the "real" identity of the offender, as well as a best guess of someone to contact at their service provider.
I installed the script as /home/cbbrowne/bin/spam. Character-interfaced news readers can typically pass messages to spam by typing: |spam
I have assisted in the removal of a number of "spammers'" ISP accounts by virtue of the use of this utility.
I have experimented with passing my news through the Ifile system. "Spam" gets quite accurately dumped to my MH Spam folder; the sexually oriented material even more successfully flows to Spam/phonesex for later purging.
Beyond that, I defined "virtual newsgroups" relating to topics of interest. (And created some for "trash" to flow into.)
Material looking like Linux advocacy tended to flow to Linux/Advocacy, regardless of where it was originally posted.
Material on Linux hardware gets automatically (and fairly accurately) split up into:
Linux/Hardware/CDROM (mostly junked)
Linux/Hardware/Cameras (digital cameras)
Linux/Hardware/Ethernet (mostly junked)
Linux/Hardware/Modems (mostly junked) ...
Linux/Hardware/Tape (some keepers)
Linux/Hardware/Video (mostly junked)
This allowed me to fairly quickly target useful hardware information for reading.
Unfortunately, the filtering process still dropped a lot of garbage into my "mail feed," and required that I go through and delete a whopping lot of messages once they're read. It works, but needs some work to make it of "production" quality.
There needs to be some sort of "scoring" ability, with "score thresholds" to indicate that messages can be discarded. I can't think of a decent interface to feed in information to this effect.

During the second half of my blog's fifth year, I'm going to give you a chance to revisit some of my past blog posts.
In March of 2015, I talked about a fog-covered Cuddy in a blog post. I snapped a photo of Cuddy while it was covered in fog … and you could only see the bare trees in the photo. At that time, I may have snapped one of the scariest photos ever. I think it was possibly the scariest photo that I ever took. It looked like something out of a scary movie a little bit.
Tomorrow, you will get a chance to revisit the last blog post that I wrote down during my blog's first year.
In honor of my blog's fifth year, I'd like to show you five blog posts that I wrote down on or around March 26th in previous years …
The snow is slowly melting away! (March 26, 2018)
Joseph has his "game face" on! (March 26, 2017)
Joseph's Road To His 30th Birthday: Joseph's 26th Year On Earth (March 27, 2016)
I found another Hawaiian shirt! I actually have four of them at home! (March 26, 2015)
My blog has now been viewed 2,500 times! (March 28, 2017)
Joseph Pratt's Interests And Some Other Things
On March 10, 2015, Cuddy was covered in fog. All you can see in this picture are many bare trees!
Earlier this week, the town of Cuddy was completely covered in fog. In this picture, you can see the bare trees, but you can't see Cuddy at all. I took this picture at around 6:00 on Tuesday evening … and the fog completely covered up Cuddy. In my opinion, this might be one of the scariest pictures that I ever took, but then again, I'm entitled to my opinion.

No matter what God does to get the attention of people, they just seem to miss the point, or they try to rationalize the problem, which leaves them hopelessly confused, and with a closed mind full of darkness. They choose to be alienated from Godly lifestyles and Godly principles. How many dangers seen and unseen, how many encounters must we have before we realize God loves us, and does not want us to die? What will it take? Death?
It's time to amend your ways, this is what the Bible says about those who reject God, "For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in it, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning, for it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them." – 2 Peter 2:20-21
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened, professing to be wise, they became fools and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man…
Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lust of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever; for this reason God gave them up to vile passions, for even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature, likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the women, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful…and even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting;
Being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God…unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but approve of those who practice them." – Romans 1:18 – 32 Again I say you need to amend your ways, because the coming of the Lord is near, and your chances of being saved from sin dwindles with each passing day.
Hebrews 2:3-4 says, "How shall we escape, if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them who heard him; God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to His own will." So what are you waiting for? Give your life to God today. Tomorrow may be too late. Just go to the top of this blog, click on to the salvation page, and follow the instructions, and for further studies and teachings on the word of God go to www.Riversofrevival.com.
All glory, praise, honor, and thanks go to God for using me to deliver His message to His children. May He give them spiritual wisdom, knowledge, and understanding to receive this message in Jesus name, amen.
