Elections - Electors Can Vote in any Precinct Roger Bruce

2019/01/31 Report Elections General County Government Todd Edwards
This bill authorizes counties to allow any elector within the county to vote in any precinct of the county that the elector choses in a primary, election or runoff. The election superintendent has to ensure certain safeguards such as preventing electors from voting more than once, providing sufficient ballot styles at each precinct, and ensuring that each precinct has enough voting equipment and poll workers. Should this bill progress, ACCG would like to see friendly amendments, including that counties could then be authorized to reduce polling places, addressing counties in which polling places do not have an internet connection, ensuring counties have the appropriate amount of equipment to carry this out, and eliminating the provision that counties would have to make this decision before each and every election.

Q: Start a process in custom desktop with ShellExecute call I am working on a feasibility task, where I need to start an application in a custom desktop (programmatically created desktop, using CreateDesktop()).
Scenario:
ConsoleTestApplication: Use ShellExecute() to start an MFC application, LaunchingApp
LaunchingApp: Creates a new custom desktop and start a WPF application using ShellExecute(). The WPF application should open in the custom desktop.
The above scenario works while using CreateProcess(). When I tried with ShellExecute(), the custom desktop just glitched away, and didn't work.
Does ShellExecute() work along with custom desktop creation?
Is there any possible way to solve the above scenario using ShellExecute()? Can you suggest a solution for this?

A: Neither ShellExecute() nor ShellExecuteEx() support launching processes on alternative desktops, only on the desktop of the calling thread.
So, you would have to either use SetThreadDesktop() before ShellExecute/Ex(), or else just use CreateProcess() instead, which supports alternative desktops, as you noted.
ShellExecute/Ex() will simply delegate to CreateProcess() when launching an EXE file, so you really should just use CreateProcess() directly.  Use ShellExecute/Ex() only when launching data files (or when you need to force an EXE to launch with UAC elevation).

Cop found guilty of rape AVOIDS prison after sex attack on woman because 'he could be killed in jail'
Felix Allen
A MONSTER cop who raped a vulnerable woman he was meant to protect has been spared jail in Texas — because he could be killed inside.
William Ollie Alexander was let off with ten years of probation after his lawyer claimed all policemen face a "death sentence" in prison.
William Ollie Alexander was spared a jail sentence by a jury in El Paso, TexasCredit: Fox 41/El Paso
The former policeman was found guilty of raping a woman he was meant to protect
Alexander, who was an officer in El Paso, preyed on his victim after a domestic violence call in March 2018.
He gave her his number, then hours later picked her up drove her to a dark street where he raped her.
The victim wept as she told a court she will be haunted by the assault for the rest of her life.
She said: "It was the worst day of my life.
"I used to be trusting. I thought everyone was nice and would be helpful, but now I know it is not like that."
She is now afraid to have children of her own, she told the court.
Prosecutors pushed for a jail term of at least 15 years after the rapist was found guilty.
But Texas law allows defendants to choose to have a jury pass sentence instead of a judge in non-capital cases.
Alexander cried as jurors let him off with probation
His father, William Ollie Alexander III, pleaded with jurors to spare him, reports the El Paso Times.
He said: "I understand he made a moral mistake.
"My son is a law enforcement officer. I think you, I and all the men and women of the jury know what happens to law enforcement officers in prison."
Defense attorney Omar Carmona also claimed he should get special treatment as an ex-cop.
He said: "It doesn't matter how many years.
"He will go to the penitentiary as a former police officer. He is going to be there with gang members.
"Yes, it's because of his actions, but remember any prison sentence is a death sentence."
Prosecutor Heather Haywood urged the jury to remember the victim's trauma.
She said: "This is a weight she will carry the rest of her life.
"She was in vulnerable situation as a human being that day, and he took from her and he is still taking from her."
'NOT WHAT AMERICA IS'
Mike Pompeo claims 'multiculturalism and woke-ism' are un-American
Alexander appeared to cry as jurors recommended his sentence be suspended for ten years with probation.
Afterwards his lawyer Mr Carmona told KFOX-TV: "They understand not all sexual assaults, even if there is a guilty verdict, warrant a prison sentence and this was one in which a jury felt Mr Alexander should not go to prison and should serve in the community."

Analysis: H.R. 5 is not truly an equality act
March 25, 2021 wpmessage
BY CATHOLIC NEWS SERVICE
Editor's note: This analysis combines multiple reports from Catholic News Service about H.R. 5, a federal proposal commonly referred to as the Equality Act.
The U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 5, the Equality Act, by a 224-206 vote in late February.
A couple days ahead of the vote, the chairmen of five U.S. bishops' committees said its mandates will "discriminate against people of faith" by adversely affecting charities and their beneficiaries, conscience rights, women's sports, "and sex-specific facilities." The bill also will provide for taxpayer funding of abortion and limit freedom of speech, the chairmen said in a Feb. 23 letter to all members of Congress.
H.R. 5 amends the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity in employment, housing, public accommodations, public education, federal funding, credit and jury duty. "Human dignity is central to what Catholics believe," they said, and the church serves "all people, without regard to race, religion or any other characteristic. Rather than affirm human dignity in ways that meaningfully exceed existing practical protections, the Equality Act would discriminate against people of faith," they said. "It would also inflict numerous legal and social harms on Americans of any faith or none."
If it becomes law, the Equality Act, which has been described as a one of President Joe Biden's top legislative priorities, will be an overreaching use of federal power to shut down religious liberties and traditional views on gender, according to attorneys tracking the measure.
"It is so expansive," said Paul Jonna, a California-based special counsel with the Thomas More Society in Chicago. He has represented various California agencies or businesses that have come under fire for policies based on the traditional understanding of marriage and gender.
"The act is essentially an all-out assault on religious freedom; it is Congress imposing their views on gender, dismissing sexual differences and presenting gender as a social construct," Jonna told Catholic News Service Feb. 25.
"It is a threat to free speech, to careers, to churches and faith-based facilities to force them to host events that are opposed to their beliefs," he said.
Democratic lawmakers and advocates say the Equality Act would make significant progress toward legal protections for all Americans, including LGBTQ+ individuals, who advocates say do not have sufficient protections from discrimination, especially with regard to employment.
Critics say if the bill becomes law, it would portray time-honored religious beliefs as un-American and would go well beyond employment protections -- and without reasonable religious exemption clauses.
Jonna, who also is president of the San Diego Chapter of Legatus, an organization of Catholic business leaders, said the Equality Act would result in a tidal wave of religious-liberty litigation and may well create even stronger pushback.
"It is definitely being used as a tool to advance an agenda of those who have a distorted view of human nature and who want that imposed on all of society – and it will backfire, creating way more problems than it solves; and it will do great damage to women and completely destroy the concept of male and female in our culture, and undermine the goals it seeks to advance," Jonna told CNS.
"We expect a lot of litigation; I am sure we will be involved in litigation around this and many other religious freedom law firms (will be involved) as well," he added. "Our only saving grace is that we have a conservative majority in the U.S. Supreme Court."
On Feb. 26, House Republicans reintroduced a compromise measure called the Fairness for All Act. The Washington Blade has reported that one difference from H.R. 5 is it would "clarify protections based on race, color and national origin."
Also, the compromise bill, unlike the Equality Act, does not say the 1993 Religious Freedom Restoration Act, or RFRA, cannot be used "as a defense in court against allegations of illegal anti-LGBTQ discrimination," the Blade said.
A Senate version of the Equality Act has yet to be introduced; it would need 60 votes for passage. If it were to pass, differences between the Senate and House measures would have to be reconciled, and then sent to Biden to sign.
The St. Thomas More Society's Jonna said that, until now, no federal law has exempted itself from RFRA – approved by Congress in a bipartisan vote and signed into law by President Bill Clinton to ensure religious freedom interests are protected.
That the Equality Act would exempt other laws from RFRA is an indication of just how radical it really is, he said.
"The scope of industries and organizations included (for protection) in this massive piece of legislation is a great threat to religious freedom. It puts at risk people of faith who will be excluded: Either compromise your beliefs or get out of the way," Jonna said.
He has assisted in defending a Catholic Charities residential program in California for female victims of human trafficking when local officials tried to force the program to admit biologically male, transgender persons. He said, "We worked out a resolution to that case, but a law like this would destroy the scientific definition of gender – and a home like this would have to be open to males."
Much of the criticism of the Equality Act has centered on its expected impact on the sporting world, where women would have to compete against biological males and vice versa.
The Equality Act has garnered criticism from both feminists and other faith leaders, including Orthodox Rabbi Yaakov Menkin, who co-wrote a Feb. 24 essay for Newsweek, calling the legislation flawed, hateful and unthinking extremism.
"Civil rights legislation is intentionally a blunt legal instrument, historically designed to redress ongoing racism against descendants of former slaves," Rabbi Menkin wrote.
"The Equality Act thus deems a religiously motivated refusal to participate in a same-sex marriage to be no different than a KKK member's refusal to cater a multiethnic couple's nuptials," he said. "Traditional religious practices, according to the Equality Act, are as unacceptable as was Jim Crow."
The chairmen of five U.S. bishops' committees said Feb. 23 the Catholic Church upholds the human dignity of all and supports "nondiscrimination principles to ensure that everyone's rights are protected."
However, they said, the Equality Act as written will "discriminate against people of faith" by adversely affecting charities and their beneficiaries, conscience rights, women's sports and "sex-specific facilities"; will provide for taxpayer funding of abortion; and will limit freedom of speech.
Matt Sharp, a senior counsel with the Alliance Defending Freedom, which has defended three Connecticut-based high school female athletes who objected to biological males being allowed to compete alongside them, said his agency's focus will especially turn toward the U.S. Senate, "being sure that senators are aware of the harms that the Equality Act will cause."
"We see (the) realistic threats it presents to religion and religious schools and colleges," Sharp said. "If they receive federal funding, those schools will be told they have to change their beliefs on marriage and sexuality if those students are to receive funds – and those schools will have their existence threatened by the equality act."
Sharp was active in defending the Downtown Hope Center, a women's homeless shelter in Anchorage, Alaska, when they were told they had to accept transgender women who are biological males into their overnight program.
For almost a year, the Anchorage Civil Rights Commission officials threatened to take away the safe haven, leaving homeless women without that resource. The Hope Center filed a lawsuit so it could continue to serve its vulnerable female population, including victims of sex trafficking.
The Equality Act also would heavily impact religious liberty as it relates to employment.
Sharp said, "What does it mean for those institutions that hold a distinction between the sexes, and now you must hire someone who believes something contrary to those beliefs and someone who lives contrary to those beliefs? That fundamentally undermines the religious mission and purpose of these organizations."
He also cited the example of the medical community, where doctors and others could be forced to perform "gender reassignment" surgery on youth questioning their gender identity.
"We would see doctors being told they might have to do some of those procedures, which they feel might be harmful and violate their ethical beliefs. It is part of the transgender battle: the power of the government to compel people to violate their beliefs, religion and ethics."
Sharp added, "This is giving the federal government a lot of power to come after people and force them to compel individuals to violate their beliefs on the nature of male and female and that is a government we should be very worried about."

My Own Thoughts
One woman's written responses to the world around her.
Stephen J. Cannell
Posted on 8/26/2005 by Suzi
R called me Wednesday morning and said that Stephen J. Cannell had been on the radio and was going to be at Alamo Draft House that evening. Would I like to go? I said yes. I was thinking, "Hey, I actually know that name. Wasn't he writing for Adam 12?"
So, we went.
It was a long drive out there. It's on the west side of Houston and we're NE. And the traffic was strong, though not bumper to bumper. (That was going the other direction.) –The interesting thing about the trip was we didn't get home till 11:30 pm.
We arrived, went in, sat down. You can eat there–thank goodness. We ordered Abita Root Beer on tap. It was very sweet, without the twist I expect from root beer. But still good. We ordered and ate potato skins. Bland. The salsa with them was a bit sweet, not spicy. Then we had pizza. R's is much better. But it wasn't bad.
Eventually SJC began to speak.
He talked about making the A-Team. The big TV guy told him he wanted it to kind of be Dirty Dozen, Magnificent Seven, crazy guy chewing on feet, Mission: Impossible, and The Road Warrior. And the show is what SJC came up with. It was interesting.
He said that Great American Hero was a "super hero show." And when they told him to do it, he said, "I'll do it if I can have it be about the suit. The powers are in the suit." So they said yes. And then, they left. The next powers that be were not as impressed with the idea of it being all about the suit. They wanted space aliens and monsters… He gave them that once. And, of course, the suit comes from a close encounter of the alien kind.
We watched a Great American Hero episode. Then we watched the A-Team pilot.
Then he answered questions. Someone asked him whether he always knew he would be a writer. He said that he has major learning disabilities, that he had failed three grades by the time he got out of high school…. But then he was at University of Oregon and he signed up for a Creative Writing class. He went to ask Ralph Salsbury, the teacher, about his grading policy, because SJC couldn't spell worth a lick. The teacher said he wanted SJC to use all the words he knew, not just the ones he thought he could spell. (That night he used verisimilitude and excoriate.)
When he'd been in the class a while, he got a note: "Come see me during office hours." SJC said he was used to teacher conferences, so he went with dread. Ralph Salsbury closed the door and said, "You are one of the best two students I've seen writing in the last 15 years of teaching. You have a God-given talent."
He said he enjoyed writing novels, because he got to cover everything. But writing for TV was good too because he got to interact with lots of folks.
You pronounce his name "can-uhl" not "cuh-nell," like I thought.
He wrote for or created and wrote some of my favorite shows:
The Commish
Murder She Wrote (You know, I can't find a thing that says Cannell wrote on this, but the beginning scene in the typewriter is SJC's from earlier shows, so he must have had some connection.)
Baa, Baa Black Sheep
Hardcastle and McCormick
He also did The Rockford Files, which was my dad's favorite show back when we got a TV in 1974.
SJC is now writing novels. He's been writing one a year since 1996. They're mysteries. They're investigative police work.
I bought three copies of the first one, one for me and two for guys in Iraq. I should have just had him put his name on mine. He asked me about Bryan, where he was and when he'd be home. I don't think I said that Donald was a Soldier. But one was for me, one for a Soldier, and one for a Marine.
And then I bought one hardback of his newest book.
At the end, R said it was strange to go to a theater for dinner and to watch TV.
Two interesting sites I found while surfing for SJC:
Cannell's Seminar on Writing
best general article on SJC I saw

how lil jj celebrated her birthday..
.. she had her first taste of chocolate cheese cake - didn't like it that much - like the senorita. but i found it okay.
.. she learnt how to climb off the bed - not walking yet but have advanced to climbing down the bed. hmm more rearrangement is due la like this.
lucky she's one. if she were a bit older sure tanya apasal papa tak buat party untuk saya.. hehe i'll tell you when ur much older k. love u.
so malaysia will get another shot of taking on man u. i think they did a good job despite losing 2-3. mickey owen popping up in a typical goal poaching style for the win. here's hoping he won't be doing much of that in the league. in other news, arsenal drew 2-2 against barnet in their traditional pre-season curtain raiser. arshavin and barazite with the goals for the gunners but the highlight surely is the comeback of a certain czech master tomas rosicky. from the news that i gather he displayed some neat touches and combined well with arshavin. here's hoping he'll finally make an impact with a hopefully injury free season.
The curious case of how she got it..
So my sister ana finally finished recording her single. Little jj immediately took a liking as she was already familiar with the song with ana rendering it acoustically a few times whenever we come over. It sounds more polished after getting the full studio treatment. Lets see if it catches on.
Little jj is coping with her chicken pox. The spots are showing up on her chest, back and other parts of her body. I'm still a bit frustrated with the fact that she even got infected. Just as she was recovering from her eye infection and flu, now its the chicken pox. We haven't been going out and meeting people who were infected. Although u never can be sure of what u bring back home coming from the daily commute from the office.
But the doctor told us that little jj probably was exposed two weeks ago coz it takes that long for the spots to materialize. Which means that she probably got it during our visit to the clinic to check up on her flu. Can't really be sure.
dun be touchin me nose..
little jj doesn't like it when i try to wipe her nose. in fact, the experience is bordering on torture. and that's just a simple tissue to wipe her runny nose. imagine the horror when u try to give her nose drops or even try to use the nose pump to clear her nose.
its also a struggle to get her to drink milk from the bottle. this one time she wouldn't stop crying. i thought it was down to her really not wanting the milk, but it turned out that she did a number 2.
i guess we need to be more patient la kan.
i'm starting to sit down with little jj and 'read' with her. and by read i mean pointing at pictures and saying the words out loud. i did try the whole reading a story with some funny accent and trying to excite a reaction. but i think she's still too young for that. doesn't matter. at least i can still practice my fake indian and fake scottish accent for when she gets a little older.

The Best Halloween Treat is Watching 'The Witches'
by Jamie Broadnax
Jamie Broadnax
Jamie Broadnax is the creator of the online publication and…
Orginally published in Oct 2013
One of the best films of my childhood is the movie The Witches, based on the Roald Dahl book of the same name.
As Halloween quickly approaches, I love to sit and reminisce of a time when I was an active trick-or-treater that consumed tons of candy and loved dressing up in campy costumes during an evening of high confectionary consumption and things that go bump in the night.
As a movie geek, I also like to think about favorite movies of the past that still resonate with me to this day. A few days ago, the Hub network, known for highlighting all things nostalgia aired the 1990 film The Witches.
Have you ever seen a movie that you can watch incessantly and each time you watch it's just as enjoyable as the first time?
The Witches had that profound effect on me. The Witches stars Angelica Huston as the leader of a coven of witches in the United Kingdom for their annual meeting and fabricate themselves as the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (RSPCC). The Grand High Witch (played by Huston) is also known as Eva Ernst who wears an impressive human disguise to push forward her agenda and blend in with mankind. All of the witches disguise themselves as human beings, and their true identity are hideous and horrid creatures with bald heads, zombie-skinned texture, squared toed feet, and eyes with an illuminating glow.
These witches are on a mission to turn every single child in England into a mouse! In order to pull this off, they create a magical potion that immediately changes children into small rodents, leaving them with only the ability to speak.
The witches have an innate skillset to detect children by their scent, which makes it easy to hunt them. The smell of a child to a witch is the equivalent of fresh doggie dung to the human senses. The younger and fresher the child (especially after a clean shower), the more foul and pungent the odor. Jasen Fisher plays Luke who is an inquisitive little boy that is fearless on his quest to stop the Grand High Witch. When his parents are killed in a tragic car accident, he is adopted by his grandmother who shares with him audacious tales about her childhood and personal experiences with witches. Her best friend Erica was captured by a witch and is forever trapped in an oil painting.
The film is an adaptation of the popular kid's classic novel of the same name by author Roald Dahl. The many puppets featured in the film are created by the legendary Jim Henson. The late Jim Henson was also the executive producer and his famed Creature Shop provided several of the special effects in the film.
The Witches is a fun and delightful story with an impeccable British cast featuring the likes of Brenda Blethyn, Rowan Atkinson and Mai Zetterling. It's a comedy and certainly kid-friendly, but very much in alignment with the spirit of Halloween, which is why it's a classic worth celebrating this upcoming holiday.
Here is a movie trailer below of the 1990 film:

Jamie has appeared on MSNBC's The Melissa Harris-Perry Show and The Grio's Top 100. Her Twitter personality has been recognized by Shonda Rhimes as one of her favorites to follow. She is a member of the Critics Choice Association and executive producer of the Black Girl Nerds Podcast.

Crew Blog | Maggie Pulver: Finding Life at the Equator
In Crew Blogs, Science
Written by Maggie Pulver
Crossing the equator has brought us into light winds and calm seas. The sunsets have offered an array of blues, pinks, oranges and golds. The waxing moon glitters off the gentle waves, providing the night watches with enough light to give their headlamps a rest.
Over the last few days the crew has had some interesting visitors. A small pod of whales were spotted off the starboard side Thursday afternoon. The entire crew waited in anticipation for the next blowhole spout and tall black dorsal fins to break the surface. The pod seemed to be making their way south and showed little interest in us. Late Thursday night, two small birds flitted around the canoe, circling the sails and calling to each other with these distinct chirps and songs. Although we couldn't exactly identify them or their calls, their small size led us to believe they were a type of tern. On Friday night, a small pod of dolphins graced the canoe with their presence early in the 6 to 10 pm watch. The soft puffs of air and small hops breaking the surface by the bow let the crew know they were there. The bioluminescent plankton provided evidence of their movement under water. Later, the 10 am to 2 pm crew got a repeat performance from the pair of singing terns.
This morning as we celebrated our crew crossing the equator, a small black and white bird, possibly a sooty tern, put on a fantastic display of beautiful agility all around the canoe – the likes of which many of us had never seen. We were amazed at how the bird danced gracefully across the surface of the ocean, gliding, flying, and flitting from wave to wave. At times, the bird even appeared to be skipping and hopping along the ripples. The show lasted all the way through the equator ceremony.
Later in the day, the persistent light winds and small swell provided a perfect opportunity for a plankton tow to collect plankton specimen with a net towed from the wa'a. These waters are so rich and abundant with microscopic life that 2 minutes in the water filled the net with more specimens than could be sampled. Many of the organisms were visible to the naked eye, including several types of copepods and larval shrimp-like creatures. There was also a plethora of fish eggs, diatoms, zooplankton and copepods. The major find of the day, however, was an amazing arthropod, that looked more like a tick or flea than a creature of the sea. Its long segmented legs and antennae wiggled and jerked as it moved around the slide. We took turns making guesses as to what it could be and what it was doing so far out in the middle of the deep ocean.
All in all, the range of life of life at the equator is diverse and beautiful. We are reminded and reassured of the presence of Kanaloa by the mana and spirit in all life we cannot see and the life that is larger than us.
Please help keep us sailing for future generations. All contributions make a difference for our voyage. Mahalo nui loa!


Early in 1885 Americans learned that General Grant was writing his Memoirs in a desperate race for time against an incurable cancer. Not generally known was the General' s precarious personal finances, made so by imprudent investments, and his gallant effort to provide for his family by his writing. For six months newspaper readers followed the dramatic contest, and the hearts of Americans were touched by the General' s last battle.
Grant' s last year was one of both personal and literary triumph in the midst of tragedy, as Thomas M. Pitkin shows in this memorable and inspiring book. The Memoirs was completed; its remarkable literary quality made it a triumph. Ultimately more than 300,000 sets of the two-volume work were sold. And Grant accepted the inevitable with quiet courage, and faded away in a manner sadly familiar to many American families.
Though told without maudlin touches, the story of Grant' s last year will leave few readers emotionally uninvolved, for it is an account of pain and suffering as well as mighty deeds, and truly deserves to be considered the General' s final victory.
Thomas M. Pitkin is the author of several books including Grant the Soldier and Keepers of the Gate: A History of Ellis Island.


What: Pinstripe suit, metallic fabrics, python prints. The legs are thin and close-fitting with tribal prints and caramel colors. Graphic t-shirts under the blazers, a printed kangaroo "Roger" and the "SSS" logo. At the feet an unexpected collaboration with Giuseppe Zanotti, who created loafers in black, white and brown.
The reason why: For lovers of an elegant but rebellious style.


Our moist vanilla cakes are made with the highest quality Madagascar-Bourbon vanilla beans and our rich chocolate cakes are loaded with fine processed Dutch cocoa powder. Tucked away inside every one of our cupcakes lies a number of incredible fillings ranging from ganaches and creams to curds, jams and caramels. Perhaps the best part of the cupcake is our signature Swiss meringue buttercream - light, creamy, fluffy, and flavorful - it is absolutely heavenly.

Q: Nested v-for Loop in Vue Selecting Wrong Checkbox I have a nested loop in a vue component. The first loop is to create four dropdown boxes, the second loop is to create three options within each dropdown box. I have attached the image to illustrate. They work correctly in that if I select the checkbox for any of the options within any dropdown box then the correct outcome occurs. The problem is that if I click the word next to the checkbox then always the corresponding option in the first dropdown box is selected, which is not acceptable. So, if I click the checkbox next to 3b then everything is fine; if I click the 'b' next to the checkbox (which is likely for a user to do), then 1b will be selected.
How can I make clicking the 'b' in this case select 3b instead of 1b?

A: It happens because the input id was the same for all inputs with the same letter, so 1b and 3b have the same id. Try to modify the id attribute, e.g. add a number to differentiate ids.

I get asked which clients I took from my former agency, and the answer is – none. Non-solicits aside, it's not the legacy I wanted after building the firm for 20 years. Plus ten points for moral rectitude, minus several hundred for commercial viability.
But you know what? You guys have been super terrific in referring us to new prospects. I'm a big believer in new business karma – and have been overwhelmed with how helpful people are. I mean genuinely interested in connecting us with some fascinating firms. So thank you!
Lesson learned – people often talk about the value of a good network, but you never truly know whether it will work for you. It's early days but so far I'd say they are absolutely right.
People want to connect you with the right folks, so are bound to ask 'who's your target client?' Perfectly reasonable. But when you're starting out, the answer is 'well anyone really'. Trouble is that doesn't really help them make valuable connections for you. In fact, the more prescriptive you can be about the type of clients you want – the easier it is for them to handpick one or two perfect opps.
Lesson learned – help your network make valuable connections by painting a clear picture of the clients you want. They'll actually help you more with a narrower set than otherwise.
The day you change your LinkedIn profile, you'll get overwhelmed. Be ready to spend most of the time catching up with old contacts. The wave of good vibes is wonderfully validating and it's a great chance to reconnect.
Granted a lot of the responses are the canned one from the LinkedIn app 'Congrats on the new role! Hope you're doing well!' but we're all busy, it's an acknowledgment and invitation to talk further. And it's a chance to pay back some of the karma you'll be getting.
Lesson learned – there's a lot of goodwill out there. Enjoy it and share it. Be a billionaire in the goodwill economy.
Most PR and marketing firms are named after the founder or a combination of a color and an object, such as Purple Monkey. Nothing wrong with that and it's the standard choice. Early in the process, I wanted the firm to be called Blue Flame Communications – the hottest part geddit? – but that fell into the usual trope, so we kept looking. We've had an unexpectedly positive response to the Firebrand name – including people wanting to be Firebrands despite our infancy (woo!). That tells me it's worth exploring all the options before choosing a name. It matters more than you'd think.
Lesson learned – spend time on the brand since it sets the bar for the firm.
Over the last few weeks, I've had the chance to work from home. No commute, no ad hoc meetings or no fire drills – just busting out the work. I worried it would be hard to keep up the work rate, but actually, it's increased – longer periods of concentration, more flow. I'm a gregarious mass communicator by nature so haven't suffered a lack of connection.
Of course, it's hard to build a culture, mentor staff or carry out group tasks if you are all remote, so this phase won't last but it's been an unexpected tonic.
One downside, I haven't learned how to step away from work in the evening. Without the forced decompression and geographic / mental distance you get from travel, it's hard to shut off.
Lesson learned – you have more productive time working remotely so you can take more care over the work you do – and that feels good.
Month one has exceeded my expectations. I'm excited about month two – welcoming new clients to the roster and starting some exciting campaigns. I'll try to share a few more observations as we go. But thanks for all your help so far! You have been amazing and I'm privileged to get the chance to start Firebrand.

EVA bass bags are a must for any angler, no matter where you fish, boat or bank. This bag allows for safe, leak-free transit of your catch.
The EVA bag is an ideal solution to fish storage, no smell and no fuss. The 'quick drain' system allows you to drain away excess water without fear of accidently losing your precious catch. Best of all, a quick rinse after use and there's no horrible smell or residue, just the job for keeping the car clean and tidy.
Not only does this bag keep your catch safe and fresh, if you boat fish, it also doubles up as carry bag for your drogue and clamps as you head out on the water.

August 2014 Monthly Forecast
THE SECURITY COUNCIL
Visiting Mission to Europe and Africa
Expected Council Action
In August, the Council expects to travel to Belgium, the Netherlands, South Sudan, Somalia and Kenya. A briefing on this visiting mission is expected later in the month.
Council visiting missions have historically served a number of purposes, including preventive diplomacy, information gathering and support for mediation and peace processes. They have been a tool that the Council has used with greater frequency since the end of the Cold War: while there were fewer than a dozen such missions during the Cold War, the August mission will be the Council's 48th visiting mission since 1992 and its second in 2014. (For more background on Council visiting missions, please see our 25 March 2014 Special Research Report, Security Council Working Methods: A Tale of Two Councils?, pp. 40-50.)
The visiting mission will likely consist of stops in Europe (Belgium and the Netherlands) and Africa (South Sudan, Somalia and Kenya). While the UK has taken the lead in organising the trip, there will be co-leaders for each of the different segments of the mission. At press time, it appeared that the visiting mission might emphasise the role of women in conflict prevention, conflict resolution and peacebuilding, as well as the harmful impact of sexual violence in conflict. This focus would be in keeping with resolution 2122 of October 2013, in which the Council "expresses its intention to make the implementation of the Council's women, peace and security mandate a focus on one of its periodic field visits in advance of the 2015 High-Level Review" of the implementation of resolution 1325, the Council's first thematic resolution on women, peace and security.
The mission's first leg, co-led by Australia and the UK, will be in Belgium, where the Council is expected to visit World War I battlefields. The purpose of this part of the mission is to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of World War I and pay tribute to those who lost their lives in the conflict.
The next part of the mission, a trip to The Hague, will be co-led by Chile and Luxembourg. In The Hague, Council members will engage with officials from international courts and tribunals there, possibly including the International Criminal Court and the International Court of Justice. The purpose of these interactions will be to discuss lessons learned with respect to efforts to combat impunity. In addition, there will probably be a meeting with officials from the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), during which Council members will discuss with the OPCW its work in Syria.
Rwanda and the US are co-leaders of the South Sudan part of the mission, where Council members are expected to engage with the government, humanitarian actors, the UN Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) and civil society, including women's groups. They will likely express concern about the security, political and humanitarian situation in the country and reiterate the need for all parties to the conflict to cease hostilities. Council members may also express to the parties their concerns about restrictions of movement on UNMISS, while condemning attacks on UNMISS personnel. They are also expected to visit one of the UN facilities providing protection for internally displaced persons.
Somalia and Kenya
The Somalia-Kenya leg of the trip will be co-led by Nigeria and the UK. In Somalia, Council members are expected to meet with the government, the UN Assistance Mission in Somalia (UNSOM), the AU Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) and civil society (also including women's groups). They expect to receive an update on how UNSOM and AMISOM are fulfilling their respective mandates. There will likely be interest among Council members in learning about the military campaign against Al-Shabaab. When interacting with the government, Council members may be interested in receiving an update on the implementation of the arms embargo. Concerns will also probably be expressed by Council members about the humanitarian situation in the country.
In Nairobi, it appears that the Council will meet with the Intergovernmental Authority on Development, which is mediating the South Sudan peace talks in Addis Ababa. Other meetings in Nairobi are possible, though not confirmed, including with the Sudan People's Liberation Movement in Opposition, which has been engaged in a civil war with the government of South Sudan since 15 December 2013.
UN Documents on Visiting Mission to Europe and Africa
29 May 2014 S/RES/2158 This was a resolution renewing the mandate of UNSOM for one year.
27 May 2014 S/RES/2155 This resolution revised the mandate of UNMISS to focus on protection of civilians, facilitation of humanitarian access and human rights verification and monitoring.
5 March 2014 S/RES/2142 This resolution extended the partial lifting of the arms embargo on Somalia until 25 October 2014.
31 October 2000 S/RES/1325 This was the resolution on women, peace and security, in particular expressing the Council's willingness to incorporate a gender perspective into peacekeeping missions, calling on all parties to protect women and girls from gender-based violence and to put an end to impunity for such crimes.
Secretary-General's Reports
25 July 2014 S/2014/537 This was Secretary-General's report on South Sudan.
12 May 2014 S/2014/330 This was a report from the Secretary-General on UNSOM.
Security Council Meeting Records
22 May 2014 S/PV.7181 This was a briefing on Somalia by Nicholas Kay, the Special Representative and head of UNSOM.
12 May 2014 S/PV.7172 This was the briefing by Ban on his trip to South Sudan.

NIBIRU PLANET X ~ The BEST EVIDENCE to DATE ~ UPDATE FOR SEPTEMBER 2015!
A rogue planet known in ancient times as Nibiru, The Destroyer, Wormwood, The Frightener, the Terrible Comet, Hercolubus and various other names, is headed toward Planet Earth once again, and has already begun to spawn a series of global catastrophes. In modern times, this dangerous celestial body has been known by the name of Planet X. Some even believe Nibiru could send comets toward our planet as soon as this September.
It's difficult to discern the exact truth about this subject because it's been deliberately obscured by disinformation. We're dealing with one of the biggest cover-ups in the history of mankind, and that's saying a lot, because the competition is so fierce.
But after 10 years of research, one school of thought that makes a lot of sense to me is that like most of the stars in the universe, our sun is part of a binary system. A smaller star -- possibly a brown dwarf star -- orbits the sun, and at least seven planets orbit the second sun. Planet X is the outermost planet in the brown dwarf system, which invades our inner solar system every 3,600 years or so -- possibly even more often than that. Some research indicates this happens every 500 years.
One thing is clear -- Earth has repeatedly been devastated by a cycle of cosmic catastrophes. It's well-documented in the historical and geological record.


In Ohio, 600 hours of training is required prior to being able to sit in for your esthetician state license exam. Applicants must be the age of 16 or older, and they must have the equivalent of a 10th grade education in order to be able to receive these 600 hours of training which must be completed.
Once you have your license, you are also going to be required to renew it every two years. Along with the renewal, you are required to complete continued education training in the field in order to ensure you are still competent, and to ensure you know the latest rules and regulations in the field.
For those who are coming in from out of state, reciprocity is accepted, if you pass the minimum requirements and show that you have completed the equivalent in training and schooling that is required in the state of Ohio.
For individuals who own a business, you must carry business insurance to protect against such accidents as equipment malfunction or injury which may be caused by a slip and fall on your premises.
You are not required to carry individual insurance as an esthetician, and business owners are not required to cover their employees with any insurance either. For this reason, as an esthetician, one should consider purchasing their own Ohio esthetician insurance coverage in order to ensure they are protected.
Not only will a personal policy cover you if the client is injured where you work, or if equipment malfunctions, it is also going to protect you from any other liability claims, lawsuits, or other issues that may arise during the course of your career in this field. You are working hands-on with clients each day; every once in a while, a mistake is going to be made. Your insurance is going to protect you from these mistakes, and other suits, and will also protect your license, in the event a client does choose to sue you when you do make one of those mistakes that is bound to happen during the course of your hopefully long and glorious career.
With the right policy, not only do you avoid high costs and fees, you also avoid loss of license in the field. You are protected from frivolous, as well as valid claims, and do not have to worry about the high fees that come along with certain lawsuits that may be filed against you while you are working to make others look their best.
