TEACHERS still cannot access payslips online.
It’s getting tough for those who are planning to apply for loans and other services that require payslips.
Even the places which are supposed to process this document free of charge are requesting payment.
The EMIS office is charging K5 a payslip.
The FinCorp Goroka branch is charging K20 for a printout to non-potential customers and issuing one to teachers who wish to apply for loan with them.
Other financial companies are charging for the printout too.
So how are they accessing this vital documents in the first place?
Why are teachers paying to access this information when it was supposed to be freely given?

A New York Times Notable Book of the Year
The story of a kind of poverty in America so deep that we, as a country, don't even think exists—from a leading national poverty expert who “defies convention.” (The New York Times)
Jessica Compton’s family of four would have no income if she didn’t donate plasma twice a week at her local donation center in Tennessee. Modonna Harris and her teenage daughter, Brianna, in Chicago, often have no food but spoiled milk on weekends.
After two decades of brilliant research on American poverty, Kathryn Edin noticed something she hadn’t seen before—households surviving on virtually no cash income. Edin teamed with Luke Shaefer, an expert on calculating incomes of the poor, to discover that the number of American families living on $2.00 per person, per day, was one and a half million households, including about three million children. Where do these families live? How did they get so desperately poor?
Through this book’s eye-opening analysis and many compelling profiles, moving and startling answers emerge. $2.00 a Day delivers provocative ideas to our national debate on income inequality.
“Powerful . . . Presents a deeply moving human face that brings the stunning numbers to life. It is an explosive book . . . The stories will make you angry and break your heart.”—American Prospect
“Harrowing . . . [An] important and heart-rending book, in the tradition of Michael Harrington’s The Other America.”—Los Angeles Times
This slim, searing look at extreme poverty deftly mixes policy research and heartrending narratives from a swath of the 1.5 million American households eking out an existence on cash incomes of $2 per person per day. Edin and Shaefer, respectively professors at Johns Hopkins University and the University of Michigan, trace the history of welfare in the U.S. up to the cuts enacted by President Clinton. They also explore the worlds of the desperately impoverished, profiling people who are able to find, at best, low-wage jobs with no bargaining power. Their subjects' wrenching stories demonstrate the huge obstacles created by unstable housing and prevalent racial discrimination. Edin and Shaefer examine the many survival strategies used by the very poor to generate cash, including selling plasma, trading food stamps for discounted cash payments, and even selling their children's Social Security numbers to people with fixed addresses, which the poorest lack. The strain of "the work of survival" has not defeated every person depicted in this book, but when a Mississippi teen is quoted saying that constant hunger can make you "feel like you want to be dead," it's impossible to ignore the high costs of abject poverty. Mixing academic seriousness and deft journalistic storytelling, this work may well move readers to positive action.

return to: Globus Syndrome
unusual cause of 'lump in throat sensation' (globus sensation)
return to: Laryngeal Surgery (Benign Disease) Protocols
October 2011 she noted a sensation of a fullness in her throat, more on the left than the right, which has become constant over the last 3 months and was first identified by her as consistent with a mass that she could palpate with placing her finger in mouth to touch the tongue base on the left. A trial of antireflux therapy for the complaint of lump in the throat failed to show any change. The patient relates she has had a long-term history of reflux and actually does have an elevated reflux symptom index, but does not feel that reflux is the cause of the lump in the throat, but the actual lump (cyst) is the cause.

ALLAH Is The Possessor of the Kingdom, and to Him Belongs All That Is in the Heavens and the Earth.
There occur in the Honorable Quran about seventy references to Allah (May He be Glorified) as The Possessor of the Kingdom, who gives the Kingdom to whom He wills, and takes it from whom He wishes, as weli as references to Him as The Possessor of the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them.

Family medicine residents: their features and differences
Objective: This paper aims to investigate the features and the differences of the family medicine residents and the residents of the departments the family medicine residents working during their rotations, in the University of Çukurova.
Methods: A total of 99 (79.2%) out of 125 residents working in the departments of internal medicine (IM), pediatrics (PED), gynecology and obstetrics (G&O), general surgery (GS), emergency medicine (EM), psychiatry (PS), and family medicine (FM) participated in the study. Data about their demographic features, graduate and undergraduate educational processes, health situations, and social lives were collected using a semi-structured questionnaire.
Results: The mean age of the FM residents was higher compared to the PED and G&O residents (p<0.05). While the percentage of male residents was higher than the female residents in the IM, GS, and EM clinics, the other clinics mostly have female residents (p<0.05). For the FM residents, the time period which they served as a general practitioner was longer then the IM, PED, and G&O residents (p<0.05). 80-90% of the PS and G&O residents, half of the IM residents, and 30-35% of the FM and PED residents had succeeded in entering one of their first three choices in the Medical Specialization Exam (MSE) (p<0.05). For the FM residents the mean frequency of being on call in a month was found to be lower compared to the IM, PED, GS, and EM residents (p<0.001). There were no significant differences between all groups in terms of social life and health situation.
Conclusions: There were statistically significant differences in some of the demographic features and graduate and undergraduate educational processes between the resident groups. For the family medicine discipline, the low percentage of entering one of the first three choices in the MSE, is considered to be important for the development and future of the discipline.

In a recent interview with host Eric Dye on the Entrepreneur Podcast Network, Philip N. Diehl, President of U.S. Money Reserve, outlined the reasons why Americans should buy gold now.
Diehl pointed out the rise of the “BRIC” (Brazil, Russia, India and China) countries have increased world financial volatility and uncertainty. And the economic success of their populations puts additional pressure on the price of gold. That’s because 65% of world gold sales come from China and India. The U.S. and Europe are relatively small players in this market.
He also pointed out central banks have been buying gold and will continue to do so to sustain the value of their reserves.
In the past few years, the U.S. dollar has strengthened against other major currencies. However, this trend is not sustainable. “What goes up, must come down,” Diehl pointed out. He cannot call the exact top of the U.S. dollar, but believes we are close to it now.
In its physical form, gold is more of a buy and hold investment. Unlike stocks, you cannot buy, sell, buy, sell. People who buy gold coins treat them more as a long-term investment, holding them as a form of insurance against future economic chaos.
At an economic forum in Colombo, Sri Lanka, financier George Soros said the current environment reminded him of 2008. According to an article about his remarks published on the U.S. Money Reserve website, Soros said China was struggling to find a new growth model and by devaluing its currency was transferring its problems to the rest of the world. Returning to rising interest was difficult for developing world countries.
Soros said, “I would say it amounts to a crisis.”
An article on Jaws Youth Fund points out George Soros sold his bank stocks and bought gold mining shares in 2014. Gold mining stocks come with a number of risks and problems. A company must find gold, buy the land, raise capital and then actually dig out the gold. It’s risky and capital-intensive. Average investors have no way of evaluating the prospects of the companies or their mines. It’s a game for experts and people, such as Soros, with the money to hire experts.
However, as Diehl points out, average investors can easily share in the profits of the coming price rise in gold by investing in coins. That’s especially true of the types of precious metal coins sold by U.S. Money Reserve. These are numismatic coins issued by the United States Mint. They used a standardized design, weight and mintage set by the U.S. Mint.

The Best Train Holiday Gift + FREE Printable Gift Tags!
Have a little train lover at your house like we do? Actually, we have TWO! My Sawyer went through a serious train stage when we was little. Although he’s now 9 years old, he’s always more than willing to play trains with his 3 year old brother, J.C.

Our Morning Filled with Thomas & Friends Fun
It was a fun-filled Thomas-themed morning here with Sawyer helping J.C. put the new TrackMaster™ set together while watching the adventures in the Thomas & Friends DVD, Sodor’s Legend of the Lost Treasure.
“Unearthing an old pirate ship, Thomas is on the hunt for Sodor’s lost treasure. When Thomas rocks the boat with some new friends, trouble soon rushes in. Will Thomas track down the treasure in time or will Sailor John set sail with it?”
It took them awhile to get the track put together, but only because they were so distracted by the thrilling adventures in their new Thomas & Friends movie!
Once the Thomas & Friends™ TrackMaster™ Shipwreck Rails Set was ready to go, they were off on their own adventure – sending their motorized Thomas through the same treacherous Shipwreck Rails they saw in the movie.
And I must say, I was just as impressed as they were by the upside-down spiraling action of the new set.
Thomas made it through the spiral railway every time and kept on moving!

Introduction Studies show that parents send their children to afterschool programs as a form of supervision while they are at work, but studies also stress the importance in the parental role in a child’s ability to retain the skills and concepts that are learning within these programs. So what if there was an afterschool program where parents attended and participated with the children, would this have an effect on the impact of the program? Families for Health is an afterschool program designed to bring Families together while teaching key concepts that lead to a healthy lifestyle, focusing on physical activity and nutrition. This study examines the participant’s perceptions on the impact of this afterschool program. Methodology The administrative staff who facilitated the program within their schools were interviewed afterwards. There were three total participants. Not only were their demographics noted, but their thoughts and perceptions on the impact of the program. These transcriptions from interviews were then analyzed and various themes and subthemes emerged using the Grounded Theory Approach. Results The themes and subthemes that emerged were the need, positive outcomes such as engagement and impact, positive attributes such as unique and easy and the challenges such as participation. Discussion Recent literature supports these findings. There is much room for future growth and limitations that occurred within study to be addressed. Conclusion Study interviewees believe the program is addressing a need within this community and leaving a positive impact on participants.

Farrow says NBC misleading in explanation of story
NEW YORK (AP) — NBC News' decision to pass on Ronan Farrow's investigation into Harvey Weinstein's alleged sexual misconduct is an open wound, with Farrow and one of Weinstein's accusers criticizing the network's latest explanation and President Donald Trump chiming in Tuesday.
Trump tweeted that NBC is "now fumbling around making excuses for their probably highly unethical conduct." He called NBC "FAKE NEWS."
The Latest: Trump weighs in on NBC-Ronan Farrow dispute
NEW YORK (AP) — The Latest on allegations between NBC and Ronan Farrow (all times local):
President Donald Trump is joining criticism of NBC News for passing last year on journalist Ronan Farrow's investigation into alleged sexual misconduct by Harvey Weinstein.
The president tweeted Tuesday that NBC is now "fumbling around making excuses for their probably highly unethical conduct."
NBC’s news chairman defends handling of Weinstein story
NEW YORK (AP) — NBC's news chairman sent an exhaustive defense of the network's handling of Ronan Farrow's investigation of Harvey Weinstein to his staff members, saying any speculation that the disgraced Hollywood mogul had any role in the network's rejection of the story was baseless.
NEW YORK (AP) — NBC's internal investigation following Matt Lauer's firing says it doesn't believe there is a culture of sexual harassment at the news division and that current news executives weren't aware of the former "Today" show anchor's behavior until the complaint that doomed him.
Hoda Kotb will join Savannah Guthrie as co-anchor of NBC News' TODAY Show, network officials announced Tuesday.
The announcement was made by Andy Lack, Chairman of the NBC News Group.
Together, Guthrie and Kotb will co-anchor the 7 to 9 a.m. hours of TODAY, along with weather anchor Al Roker and Orange Room host Carson Daly. Kotb will also continue co-hosting the 10 a.m. hour of TODAY with Kathie Lee Gifford.
As accused sexual harassers from stage, screen and Capitol Hill continue to tumble, the biggest thud last week undoubtedly came with the news that NBC "Today" show anchor Matt Lauer was canned after a "detailed complaint from a colleague about inappropriate sexual behavior in the workplace," according to a statement from NBC News Chairman Andy Lack. And while some celebrities and co-workers stood up for Mr. Lauer, many more praised the complainant and the guts it took for her to come forward. Status, power or privilege should never insulate or otherwise protect anyone from their own crude, demeaning behavior.
Trump turns Lauer firing into occasion to blast ‘Fake News’
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump turned the firing of NBC's Matt Lauer into a fresh opportunity to attack the press Wednesday, unleashing a series of cryptic and personal tweets aimed at prominent media figures.
NEWTOWN - Megyn Kelly’s interview with conspiracy theorist Alex Jones will air on Father’s Day over the objections of Sandy Hook families, NBC’s top executive said.
“I’ve got tremendous understanding of why they are so upset, as they have every right to be,” NBC News Chairman Andy Lack told the Associated Press. “It doesn’t stop us from doing controversial stories.”
NEW YORK (AP) — NBC News is moving ahead with plans to air Megyn Kelly's interview with conspiracy theorist Alex Jones this weekend despite a backlash that has cost the show advertisers and led to Kelly being dropped as host for an event by an organization founded by parents of children killed at the Sandy Hook Elementary School.

It is not easy to think very small. We like to think of small as something about the size of a dust mote, a speck barely visible to our eye. That’s big compared to almost any cell of our body. Thousands of cells can fit on the head of a pin. Without a microscope those cells would be invisible to our eyes. Yet a single cell is immense compared to a virus. Most viruses cannot be seen by microscopes that readily reveal bacteria. Viruses are organisms that are hundreds to millions of times smaller than any of our cells.
We know of viruses as germs, and we lump all organisms that cause disease under that term. Until the 1940s it wasn’t clear what viruses were. Some did not think they were organisms. Some thought they pre-exist in cells and are just jarred loose from their slumber inside the cell. A few could not distinguish between viruses and genes. Several things changed our views about viruses and much of that work was worked out more than 70 years ago on Long Island at Cold Spring Harbor. Max Delbruck, who left Nazi Germany to study genetics began using bacterial viruses in 1938 at Cal Tech. He got together with other scientists at Cold Spring Harbor and worked out some of the first experiments to show that bacterial viruses were more complicated than genes, that they had a life cycle, and that the bacteria on which they fed underwent mutations making them resistant to infection. A new instrument, installed at Cold Spring Harbor, the electron microscope, revealed the viruses as lollipop-shaped organisms that attached to bacterial walls by their stems.
Most bacterial viruses are big as viruses go. They contain 100 or more genes. Most of the genes that make us sick are much smaller such as those causing polio, flu, measles, or mumps. On average they contain about 10 to 15 genes. Human immunodeficiency virus, which causes AIDS, is also small but it is more complex in structure and function. Viruses can be crystallized because they are just molecules of nucleic acid and protein. They have no metabolism of their own and they subvert the cell by taking over its metabolism. They are like smuggled tapes inserted into a tape recorder.
We know the story of small David slaying the giant Goliath. A virus is much more tiny than the cell it infects. As the infected cell releases hundreds of new viruses, the viruses spread and in a day’s infection staggering quantities of virus can be produced. If they overwhelm the immune system, the virus infection can kill. This happens with such terrifying diseases as yellow fever or small pox. The 1919 variety of flu was another killer, turning young adults overnight from health to drowning corpses, the lung’s air sacs bursting and filling up with blood. Fortunately most viruses are not that lethal.
It is difficult to kill viruses once they are in the cell. Most of the things that damage the viral genes also damage human genes; most of the substances that damage the virus proteins also damage human proteins. This is why most virus diseases are prevented by vaccinations. It took many years to make safe vaccines against polio. It should not surprise us that the prevention of AIDS by vaccine may still be several years away.

Located at 430 meters BELOW sea level, the Dead Sea is the one of the lowest points on Earth. But you knew that.
One does not go swimming in the Dead Sea, one just floats. But you knew that one as well!
With 33.7% salinity, the Dead Sea is one of the saltiest water bodies on the planet. You knew that too, already?!
Well then, here are 8 facts about the Dead Sea we bet you did not know! Maybe they will leave you amazed… maybe they will impress you so much that you will head over to Jordan to take a dip in the Dead Sea immediately!
8 facts about the Dead Sea we’re sure you did not know!
1. The Dead Sea is old. Like, really old. It is more than 3 million years old!
2. Despite being called the Dead SEA, the water body is actually a hyper-saline lake and not a sea!
3. Unfortunately, the Dead Sea is disappearing at an alarming rate.
Back in 1930, the lake’s surface area was 1,050 km². Today, it is just 605 km². The good news, however, is that the governments of Jordan and Israel are now undertaking conservation efforts in order to save the lake before it becomes a thing of the past.
4. The water, salt and mud of the Dead Sea is high in minerals with many health benefits
The lake’s water, along with its mineral rich sediment is used in the treatment of cellulite, psoriasis, acne and many other skin ailments.
5. Due to its healing and rejuvenating powers, the Dead Sea is probably the oldest spa in the world!
Legend goes that Cleopatra, the last ruler of the Kingdom of Egypt, used to use the waters and mud from the Dead Sea as part of her beauty regime.
6. The Dead Sea sits on top of the Dead Sea Rift
The Dead Sea Rift (Dead Sea Transform fault system) which is a tectonic fault system is located between the African and Arabian plates.
7. No need to pack your sunscreen for a trip to the Dead Sea!
Since it is located at such a low point, the UV rays of the sun are weaker around the Dead Sea, making it harder to get sun tanned or sun burnt.
8. There’s a reason why it is called the DEAD Sea – due to its high salt content, no living forms can survive in its waters!
The Dead Sea has no fish, no seaweed, no living organism in it. However, in the year 2010, marine microbiologists found a new species of bacteria living in the craters at the bottom of the Dead Sea.
Inspired to take a dip in the Dead Sea immediately?! This awesome Jordan holiday package will suite you just fine. A word of caution – don’t even attempt to drink the water from the Dead Sea, unless you want to have a foul aftertaste for a long time!

Poor Constantine. While the other new (and existing) comic book shows this year have been wildly successful, this DC adaptation has struggled. The Flash and Gotham are scooping up awards, Agent Carter debuted to great reviews earlier this month, Arrow is still hugely popular, and even Agents of SHIELD seems to be recovering from it's rocky start in the first season.
Then there is Constantine. The show started later than most, and with very little marketing or promotion. Whereas shows like Gotham were constantly churning out featurettes, behind-the-scenes videos, and multiple teasers in the run up to their fall launches, Constantine had an incredibly low-key start. The majority of the mentions that I saw for the show were wrapped up in articles about the huge range of comic-book adaptations on TV right now, with few solo pieces standing out. Could this have been a major downfall? Other viewers felt that the show was too close to the hit series Supernatural, despite admissions from the Supernatural team that they were inspired by the DC comics for many elements of the show.
After this inauspicious beginning, Constantine's first season was cut to 13 episodes, and fans of the show were worried that the network had decided to cancel it. Despite reassurances from cast members and network execs that this was untrue, and that the show would return, the rumors continued to dog the show.
Now IGN reports that the president (Jennifer Salke) and chairman (Robert Greenblatt) of NBC have said that the show's future is still undecided, and calls for fans to keep streaming and watching in order to guarantee the show a future on the network.
Salke: We wish the show had done better live. It has a big viewership after [it airs] in all kinds of ways and it has a younger audience, but the live number is challenging. We love the show. I think it's fair to say we're still talking about it.
Greenblatt: As Jen said, it's a show we really like. We love Matt Ryan, who's the star of it. I think we did right by the fans who didn't like the film that was made of it. The future is still up in the air for that show.
This may be a useful tactic to keep the show on the air, as after the initial rumors landed, the hashtag #SaveConstantine took off on twitter and social media platforms, with fans hoping to show execs that they want to see more.
With the latest episode airing tonight (January 16th), and only four remaining after that, the #SaveConstantine movement is in full swing, reminding people to tune in to show support for the show.
With a future this uncertain, it seems like the fans may really be the ones with the final say - if enough people watch the show live, stream it from the official sites, and tweet about it, Constantine could return...but if there isn't quite enough support to convince the network, a Justice League Dark series could be over almost before it began.
How do you feel about the future of Constantine? Will you be watching the remaining five episodes of the first season? Comment and let me know!

Vampires is always highly watchable, even with James Woods as the vampire slayer lead. Can Carpenter's new flick Fangland save the vampire genre from itself?
Shock Till You Drop is reporting that Carpenter will be adapting John Marks' Fangland. Which has been in development for a while, and even had Hillary Swank signed up for the role of Evangeline Harker at one point — but we're not sure whether that's still the case.
Evangeline Harker, Associate Producer on television news magazine "The Hour", is sent to Transylvania to scout out a possible story on a notorious Eastern European crime boss named Ion Torgu. But she finds the true nature of Torgu's activities to be far more monstrous than she could have imagined. In the New York office that once stood in the shadow of the Twin Towers, Evangeline's disappearance causes uproar and a wave of guilt and recrimination. Then suddenly, months after her disappearance, she's found convalescing in a Transylvanian monastery, her memory seemingly scrubbed. But then who was sending e-mails in her name? And what do those crates delivered to the office contain?And why does the show's sound system appear to be infected with some strange aural virus? As a very dark Old-World atmosphere deepens in the halls of one of America's most trusted television programmes, its employees are forced to confront a threat beyond their wildest imaginings.
Still not excited? Here's the best scene from John Carpenter's Vampires, in which the head vampire goes down on a hooker.

Passe migratoire favorisant la montée continue du poisson
A new-type of fishway designed for continuous operation
Dr-ing., M.E.I.C.; Professeur agrégé, Département de Génie civil, Université Laval.
2 Ingénieur, Ministère clu Tourisme, de la Chasse et de la Pèche, Province de Québec.
The conception of this fishway was made from observations of fish movements behind stones in rapids. Figure 5 shows a channel into which we have introduced two alternate obstacles (A) representing the downstream part of two boulders. If, in the (B) zones at ground level, we succeed in maintaining a well regulated flow of suitable speed (2 to 8 ft/sec for salmons) the fish will find natural conditions of progression. It will exercise only sufficient effort to penetrate into the jet (C) flowing around the obstacles. The efficiency of the design will be greatly increased if the tips of obstacles (A) are Borda mouthpieces. The fish will then penetrate the jet through the zone of separation at point (D) where the velocity is greatly reduced for a given head differential at the partition wall. This design was materialized as shown in Figure 8 and adjusted in a hydraulic laboratory to obtain a suitable velocity field at ground level as shown in Figures 9 and 10. This design was finally built on an experimental basis at the biological station of the Nabisipi river as shown in Figure 12. Although the construction was completed late in the season, 16 salmons and 40 sea trouts took the fish ladder. It was found that the fishes, starting from 10 to 12 inches trout, went up the ladder without stopping at an average rate of progress of 1.5 ft/sec. A 6 inches trout could also climb the ladder but had to stop at every partition. A computation then shows that this type of fishway allows a level differential three times as great for the same fish as those having standard orifices. The final characteristics of the fishway for salmon and trout are shown on the table given in the text. An analysis of the relative economy of this fishway was made and the results are also shown in a table in the text. For small numbers of migratory fishes the economy world be at least 38 % compare to a fishway with overflow weirs and it would be up to 48 % for bigger capacities. This fishway is particularly advantageous when there is a variable upstream and downstream level.

HELENA – The number of gun rights bills likely to clear the Montana Legislature appears to be dwindling significantly, as the session enters its final days, dealing a blow to gun-rights advocates who seem unable to capitalize on having a Republican majority.
With the GOP holding one of the largest legislative majorities in years, this session presented a key opening for conservative lawmakers that often favor more lenient gun measures.
But the gun-rights supporters seem to be unable to seize the moment. Most of the measures have been stopped.
The representative that carried a large number of the gun bills before the Legislature, Rep. Krayton Kerns, R-Laurel, described the session as a failure for the cause, now that most of the measures are likely dead.
Bills allowing hunters to use silencers, permitting concealed weapons in bars and banks, and measures to prohibit federal firearm law enforcement all have stalled.
Another measure to allow guns in the Capitol has been stripped down from its original intent of allowing lawmakers to have weapons. The bill now would allow only security personnel to carry weapons.
However, one of the principle measures for gun-rights advocates appears to be set to pass.
Lawmakers have shown support for House Bill 271, carried by Kerns, to allow people to carry a concealed weapon without applying for a permit.
The bill would allow Montanans who complete a firearms training course to carry a concealed gun without obtaining an official license.
Kerns described the measure as a “great assertion” for constitutional gun rights, allowing more people to protect themselves with a weapon.
Opponents said the measure makes it difficult for law enforcement to determine who can legally carry a weapon, possibly endangering law enforcement officers and the public.
Legislators hashed out differences on the measure Thursday and the bill will likely be approved and go to Democratic Gov. Brian Schweitzer for his signature or veto.
Gun-rights bills often have bipartisan backing from lawmakers who say guns are an important part of Montana life. However, such proposals organized by the conservative gun-rights lawmakers and lobbyists went too far for many legislators.
Supporters said the measures are important to defend the right to bear arms and let Montanans protect themselves. Opponents of the proposals said the bills go beyond protected gun rights and put the public at risk by allowing weapons where they do not belong.
The measures were stopped because of how one or two votes panned out in committee, Kerns said.
“The wrong people in the wrong place at the wrong time,” he said.

I have been cutting parts with my XXL for several days with good results. This morning I loaded a job and when CM started to home the machine it crashed hard into the top of Z and gave me the homing error.
I have done the following:
- Manually checked that all homing switch could move in and out with my finger. So no obstructions
- Opened the controller case (ver 2.4e) to find the red and green light blinking. I searched but could find no documentation on these lights, if someone can point me to that I would appreciate it.
- Hit the white reset button on the controller board
- Shut ever thing down and tried again. same issue
- running CM ver. 4.0. 414 grbl 1.1f
Is there a way to test the z limit switch. If I hold the button in should a light come on or something happen that I can see in code somehow.?
Stuck until I can get this resolved
If you have a multimeter you can set it for continuity and put the leads on each of the switch wires (remove the connector from the control board first). If it beeps, it is working.
Thanks, I should have done that already, I just checked and the switch is GOOD. Hmmmm???
More Data for those reading this. With the cover off the controller if I manually hit any of the limit switches a blue light lights up on te controller board. I take it that this indicates the switch is sending a signal and the board is receiving it.
Still have the red and green flashing lights.
The red and green flashing lights indicate USB communication.
Please check that the machine can mechanically close the switches before reaching the limit of travel — if you have difficulties with this, loosen the hardware in question, pull it into a better alignment, then tighten. If that doesn’t work, you may need square up your machine.
OK , I found the solution. This morning I saw a photo of a Shapeoko that had the Dewalt router mounted higher in the mounting ring, thus giving it more clearance. Me being such a clever chap decided to do the same. However I did not take into account the Sucket dust collector bracket that prevented the z axis from going home by hitting the router at the new height.
Well I learned a lot and yes I found the section that says when the red and green lights are blinking you are communicating with the PC.
Thanks for those that helped. I hope this post saves someone else some Issues down the line.

Did US Senator Bernie Sanders eerily predict the course of events on Election Day during his appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last week?
During Sanders’ October 23 appearance on the late-night show, the former Democratic presidential hopeful had some predictions for how the momentous night would play out after Tuesday’s polling. He also had some insight as to how President Donald Trump would falsely and prematurely declare himself the winner on election night and cry fraud over the votes yet to be counted.
Sanders drew attention to a few concerns that proved to be spot-on. After Fallon asked him to predict the timing of when a final winner would be determined, Sanders emphasised the importance of counting every vote.
“You’re going to have a situation I suspect in states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, other states, where they are going to be receiving huge amounts of mail-in ballots,” he said. “Unlike states like Florida or Vermont they aren’t able, for bad reasons, to begin processing those ballots until Election Day or maybe when the polls close. That means you’re going to have states dealing with perhaps millions of mail-in ballots.”
Battleground states that are still counting ballots as of Wednesday morning include Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and North Carolina.
Sanders expressed concern over President Trump going on television to prematurely declare a victory on election night while votes were still being counted.
“It could well be that at 10 o’clock on election night, Trump is winning in Michigan, he’s winning in Pennsylvania, he’s winning in Wisconsin, and he gets on the television and says, ‘Thank you Americans for re-electing me, it’s all over, have a good day,’ ” Sanders warned.
“But then the next day and the day following all those mail-in ballots start getting counted and it turns out that Joe Biden has won those states. At which point Trump says, ‘See, I told you the whole thing was fraudulent. I told you those mail-in ballots were crooked. And we’re not going to leave office.'”
As predicted by Sanders, President Trump held a press conference and falsely asserted victory.
“Frankly, we did win this election. So our goal now is to ensure the integrity, for the good of this nation — this is a very big moment, this is a major fraud on our nation,” Trump said. “We want the law to be used in a proper manner, so we’ll be going to the U.S. Supreme Court. We want all voting to stop. We don’t want them to find any ballots at 4 o’clock in the morning and add them to the list. It’s a very sad moment.”
Senator Sanders prediction on President Trump calling the results fraudulent was also on target as Trump has taken to Twitter to cast doubt on the integrity of mail-in ballots.
“How come every time they count Mail-In ballot dumps they are so devastating in their percentage and power of destruction?” Trump wrote.
He also wrote, “Last night I was leading, often solidly, in many key States, in almost all instances Democrat run & controlled. Then, one by one, they started to magically disappear as surprise ballot dumps were counted. VERY STRANGE, and the “pollsters” got it completely & historically wrong!”
Twitter flagged the post with a warning “Some or all of the content shared in this Tweet is disputed and might be misleading about an election or other civic process.”


In ancient Chinese philosophy, YIN YANG refers to a concept of dualism, describing how seemingly opposite or contrary forces may actually be in balance, complementary, and interdependent in the natural world. The Maastricht-based band known as YĪN YĪN, however, embraces misbalance and its contemplative freedom in order to push the boundaries of its creative musicality.
At a ballet school in a remote village near the Alpaca Mountain, Yīn Yīn started out as an in-studio experimental project by Kees Berkers and Yves Lennertz, exploring the potentialities of South East Asian music from the 60s and 70s. Over recent years, the project has evolved into an energetic live experience, celebrating a mix of world music, disco, funk and electro, deeply infused with the individual musical background of its individual members. With the introduction of Robbert Verwijlen on keys and Remy Scheren playing bass, and with percussionist Gino Bombrini joining them on their live tours, Yīn Yīn has developed into an immersive, psychedelic live presence able to captivate a broad audience, and get people dancing.


Each one of us copes with the current global pandemic differently, and we all have different ways of spending our days. The reality is that the lives of pretty much each one of us has been changed, and many of us have shifted towards the all-day-all-night-pajamas ensemble.
However, one Reddit user shared that he was annoyed that his girlfriend has started dressing “weird” since quarantine began, and he wanted to know if he was the a-hole for being concerned about that.
Oh, and to add to that, he shared that she stopped wearing bras (Go for it sis!), and he was now bothered that she gets “stares” and that it’s “awkward”. He took it to the AITA subreddit to ask for opinions, and he got some!
“AITA for being annoyed with my girlfriend’s change in style?”
Yes, to answer your question, you most definitely ARE the a-hole for being annoyed with your girlfriend’s change in style! Likewise, the majority of Reddit agreed and deemed the guy to be most definitely in the wrong here.
Check out some of the most powerful (and rather hilarious) responses to the post below, and feel free to share how do you cope with the current crisis, and what’s your “quarantine style”.

it again. My creed on this subject is, that one brother should not want while the other can supply him.’ In 1840 Michael Banim married, being then a man of ample means; but in less than a year he lost almost the whole of his fortune through the failure of a merchant. The blow fell severely upon him, and a second serious illness ensued, through which he bravely struggled. When he had sufficiently recovered, he wrote ‘Father Connell,’ one of the most pleasing of the fictions written by either brother, the chief character being a faithful delineation of a worthy priest who had been known to Banim since childhood. As a creation, Father Connell has been compared by some critics, and not unfavourably, with the Dr. Primrose of Oliver Goldsmith. In 1852 Banim's ‘Clough Fion’ appeared in the ‘Dublin University Magazine,’ and about the same time, through the influence of the Earl of Carlisle, the author was appointed postmaster of his native city of Kilkenny. Although Banim was in a very delicate state of health for some years after receiving this appointment, he fulfilled its duties; but all literary occupation was suspended. It was not until 1864 that the ‘Town of the Cascades,’ his last work, was published. In this story, which exhibited no lack of power, the author depicted the terrible effects of the vice of intemperance. Banim's health completely broke down in 1873, and he was obliged to resign his situation of postmaster. Leaving the neighbourhood, he went with his family to reside at Booterstown, on the coast of the county of Dublin. The committee of the Royal Literary Fund made him an annual allowance. But there is no doubt that his closing years were years of anxiety and hardship. He died at Booterstown on 30 Aug. 1874. The Prime Minister (Mr. Disraeli) granted his widow a pension from the civil list.
In character Michael Banim was amiable, unambitious, modest, and generous to a degree. He unselfishly thrust himself into the background, in order that his younger brother might enjoy to the full the fame that was dear to him. He even refrained from claiming his fair share in the tide of popularity which set in upon the authors of the ‘O'Hara Tales.’ ‘At the same time, it is a noteworthy fact that his contributions to the joint publications, which appeared under the well-known nom de plume of the “O'Hara Family,” were most favourably criticised by the public journals.’ While not possessing the poetic vein of the younger brother, Michael Banim was certainly his equal in the power of vividly depicting passion and character. He had also an irresistible, if at times uncouth, eloquence of style.
As there has been much misunderstanding concerning the relative share of the brothers in the composition of the various tales written by them, we may quote from a document drawn up by Michael Banim, in which he set forth his own share of their joint labours. Out of a total of twenty-four volumes, he claimed to have written thirteen and a half, including the following stories: 1. ‘Crohoore of the Billhook.’ 2. ‘The Croppy.’ 3. ‘The Ghost Hunter and his Family.’ 4. ‘The Mayor of Windgap.’ 5. ‘The Bit o'Writin'.’ 6. ‘Father Connell.’ 7. ‘The Town of the Cascades.’

BANISTER or BANESTER, JOHN (1540–1610), surgeon, was well known among surgeons in London in the latter half of Queen Elizabeth's reign. He began his professional life as surgeon to the forces sent under the Earl of Warwick in 1563 to relieve Havre. On this expedition he and William Clowes [q. v.], another surgical author, began a friendship which lasted throughout their lives. Some time after his return he studied at Oxford, and received a license to practise in 1573. For several years he practised both physic and surgery at Nottingham. Leicester's expedition to the Low Countries in 1585 gave Banister another opportunity of public service, and he served on board ship (Royal Letter, 1593; see Munk). After the expedition he settled in London, and in 1588 he and Clowes are associated in the dedication of Read's ‘Translation of Arceus.’ They saw many cases together, and in 1591 T. P., a patient of theirs, praised both surgeons in a wretched English poem. Complaints were often made at that time to the College of Physicians as to surgeons practising medicine, and, perhaps in consequence of some such difficulty, Banister in 1593 obtained a royal letter of recommendation which led the college to grant him a license (15 Feb. 1593–4) on the condition that in dangerous cases he should call in one of its fellows. Banister was famed for his kindness to the poor, especially to old soldiers, and for his extensive professional reading. He edited Wecker, with corrections, ‘A Compendious Chyrurgerie gathered and translated (especially) out of Wecker,’ 12mo, London, 1585. He compiled a collection of remedies and prescriptions, ‘An Antidotarie Chyrurgicall,’ London, 1589, in which he acknowledges the generous help of his contemporaries, George Baker [q. v.], Balthrop,


Mazda automobile enthusiasts have become used to a certain level of fuel efficiency when driving their B3000 around town. Obviously, you bought your B3000 because you knew that you wanted Japanese engineering and driver satisfaction both impeccably combined into one automobile. When your Mazda B3000 rolled off the assembly line, it was destined for a driver who values economical pricing in their automobile. While it may not be difficult to locate replacement parts for Mazda vehicles, these days only the absolute best are required to maintain your car or truck.
Your Mazda B3000 disc brake pads were first imagined and used on race cars as an advanced means for stopping the vehicle. They provide a more effective style of braking through the application of friction than the brake shoes from decades before. You will find your vehicle's brake pads on either side of the rotor placed inside your caliper. Hydraulic pressure from your master cylinder is transferred to the caliper, and it pinches the disc brake pads against the rotor surface causing heat and friction. This thermal reaction slows your car or truck down, and eventually brings it to a stop.
Given all the hassles associated with fixing broken parts on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the number one store you go to make purchasing it easy. Bring your B3000 back to life with the best replacement parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. At Car Parts Discount, we have real customer support agents here with enough expertise to help you select the appropriate Mazda B3000 part for your needs. When it comes to Mazda B3000 Disc Brake Pads parts, you can find them for 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999, 1998, 1997, 1996, 1995, 1994 models by clicking the appropriate year below.

Camp Ruston sometime between 1943 and 1946. (www.latech.edu)
Last Modified: Tuesday, December 11, 2012 7:32 PM
Were there any POW camps in the Lake Charles area?
Between 1943 and 1946, German prisoners of war were housed at four main posts — Camps Livingston, Polk, Ruston and Plauche — and at more than 30 branch sites, where they were used as contract labor.
The branch sites included camps in Bell City, Edgerly, Eunice, Gueydan, Iowa, Jennings, Kaplan, Lake Charles, Rayne, Sulphur and Welsh.
The Informer last addressed the subject in 2006, when it wrote the following:
The first German POWs, veterans of Erwin Rommel’s desert campaign, arrived in the region in 1943. The Jennings camp opened first, and the Lake Charles camp, situated on Sallier Street, opened second, on Oct. 15.
“The prisoners-of-war arrived by convoy in Lake Charles Friday and immediately moved into a camp set up for them,” reads that day’s edition of the American Press.
“Through the afternoon, they were moving around the camp getting things in order and preparing to go to work in the rice fields as soon as possible.”
People today, and most of those interviewed in the war years, considered the Germans hardworking and polite. And most of the prisoners — astounded by the kind treatment by their captors and the comfort of the camps — held no ill will toward the United States.
“I believe that we could turn them loose and they would come back for they are very happy and feel that the people have been nice to them,” said Lt. L.W. Colter, Lake Charles camp commander, according to a story printed in the Oct. 25, 1943, American Press.
In it, Karl-Heinz Heinemann, the highest-ranking noncommissioned officer among the prisoners, complains only about the camp’s lack of mail, and he asks residents to donate musical instruments and open their minds.
“Many of us play almost any instrument, and some of our men are talented musicians,” Heinemann said. “And please tell them (residents) that we German prisoners look just like Americans — not like the advertised Hun!”
Though Heinemann confined his comments to the camp and the desires of his men, another prisoner, described as an ex-schoolteacher, defended Adolf Hitler — “The leader has united us,” he said — and lamented U.S. involvement in the war.
“No teacher in Germany teaches the students hatred against other nations and he takes no political interest,” he said. “We think our real war is against Russia and England. Not against America, unless we are obliged to make it so by America itself.”
The prisoners, who volunteered to labor in the fields, played a vital role in Southwest Louisiana’s wartime economy, which suffered from a labor shortage so acute that even camp contractor Emmett Young Inc. lacked workers in 1944, according to an American Press story from Aug. 31 of that year.
But despite their contribution, the prisoners’ mere presence — and their curiosity — led to hysterics among some and to head scratching among others.
A grateful farmer’s gesture of reward to his hardworking German laborers — some beer and a seafood dinner in Lake Arthur — led at least one local minister to decry the behavior of the prisoners, who he said were “making whoopee” in public, reads the Sept. 28, 1943, edition of the American Press.
The incident became a “great Nazi orgy” in state newspaper reports and caused widespread indignation, reads a 1982 article in the journal Louisiana History.
“As for reports that the prisoners had visited women of easy virtue, Sheriff (Azenor) Buller said there was no such report in the Lake Arthur incident,” reads the Sept. 28 Press. “Sheriff Buller said he believed the farmer gave the party with the ‘best of intentions.’ ”
Three months later the curious nature of another contingent of prisoners forced a Cameron farmer to send the POWs back to their camp and call in local workers.
“Whether the workers were too much interested in sociability among themselves or whether they deliberately stalled the harvest work the Cameron man does not know,” reads a report in the Dec. 30, 1943, American Press.
“He said that when one German discovered a snake on the ground he called others to view it and it was the subject of interested discussion until the group was tactfully reminded ... that the rice must be gotten in as soon as possible.”
By the time the last of the camps closed in 1946, the War Department — buffeted by criticism that it was lenient on the POWs — had imposed harsher conditions in the camps, stripping canteens and lessening rations’ quality and quantity, reads the Louisiana History article.
Despite the imprisonment, and the later harsh conditions, many POWs looked back fondly on their confinement here.
Heinz Kuska, of Salzburg, Austria, returned to Vernon Parish in 1992 to visit the site of Camp Polk, his home for two years during the war.
“I remember when we got to Camp Polk it was a sunny, cool Sunday afternoon. When we arrived we were given clean, white sheets, clothing with POW on the backs of the shirts, toiletries, everything we needed,” Kuska said, according to the newspaper’s Sept. 25, 1992, edition.
“A lot of prisoners wanted to stay here in 1946. They didn’t want to go back, but they had to be turned over to the British anyway.”

The terror train has come to a complete stop. Before you get off, let’s recap the list of the top ten horror movies list according to yours truly:
10) House on Haunted Hill (1999)
09) The Audition (1999) & Saw (2004)
08) Cigarette Burns (2005)
07) Thir13en Ghosts (2001)
06) The Amityville Horror (2005) & The Shining (1980)
05) Nosferatu (1922) & It (1990)
04) A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)
03) The Midnight Meat Train (2008) & Hellraiser (1987)
…and without further ado, here are the final two entries to cap off the top two spots for my top ten horror movies list.
02) Hellbound: Hellraiser II (1988)
It is truly rare that a sequel lives up to the same hype as its predecessor.
Again, Clive Barker holds no punches when he unleashes hell on your television screen. Clive Barker’s vision is unparallel to anyone who has come before and possibly after him. Clive Barker is truly way ahead of his time.
“Hellbound: Hellraiser II” opens with a recap of what happened in “Hellraiser.” Ashley Laurence reprises her role as Kirsty Cotton. Kirsty is in a psychiatric hospital and befriends a girl named Tiffany. Tiffany is a mute and she can solve puzzles easily…and you know what that means. That’s right, all hell is about to break loose.
“Hellbound: Hellraiser II” also revolves around the character of Dr. Philip Channard. He is a collector of rare artifacts…especially puzzle boxes. He has an obsession with puzzle boxes. He knows what they are capable of and he wants the power it holds, and eventually he gets it.
“Hellbound: Hellraiser II” is definitely the thin line that separates the viewers from pleasure and pain. Clive Barker shares his visions of hell…which is absolutely phenomenal by way of “Hellbound: Hellraiser II,” being made close to 20 years ago.
From one patient chained to the mattress and cutting himself with a razor blade due to imaginary maggots crawling in his skin to Julia Cotton’s missing flesh and bloody body to rooting for Pinhead and the Cenobites during the fight scene to the amazing special effects to Clive Barker’s visions of hell, it is no wonder that” Hellbound: Hellraiser II” is near the top of my list.
Drum roll please…
…and now my number one pick for the top ten horror movies list…
Kris Kross’, “Jump” came out the same year as Candyman and it didn’t make me “Jump, Jump” as much as Candyman.
The story of Candyman comes from the story, “The Forbidden” by Clive Barker.
Candyman opens up with an aerial view of Chicago followed by a swarm of bees surrounding the Chicago skyline. In the background is a haunting score that is often associated by many films of horror past. Who can forget the “Halloween” theme song, “The Exorcist” theme song, the “A Nightmare on Elm Street” theme songs or the eerie sound effects of “Friday the 13th“? You can add “Candyman’s” theme song to that list. These songs would make an excellent soundtrack for a haunted house.
Candyman is about a man who was the father of a slave in the 1890s. Candyman’s real name is Daniel Robitaille. Candyman’s father became rich after he invented a machine that produced shoes at a fast rate. Candyman was educated and was an artist. After he impregnated a Caucasian woman, the father of the woman hired an angry mob to kill him. The father made sure that his death was slow and painful. The father had the angry mob saw off his right hand with a rusty blade, took him to an apiary, smashed the hives and smothered honey all over his body and he was stung to death by the bees and burnt to death. Candyman’s ashes were then spread all over the grounds of Cabrini Green.
Helen, a student at the University of Illinois, decides to write her paper about the one they call Candyman. Helen questions the credibility of Candyman. She does some investigating with her best friend, Bernadette Walsh, at Cabrini Green after two unsolved murders occurred there. Cabrini Green is now the projects in “Candyman”.
After a few visits to Cabrini Green, Helen is greeted by Candyman in a parking garage at her school. This confrontation between the two characters is the first of many. Some end on a bad note when those associated with Helen end up dead.
Here is what I loved most about “Candyman”: the perfect timings of scare, Candyman’s hook going in the back of Helen’s head mixed with the sound of the ruffling sound of a bouquet of flowers (listen for it), the real bees used in the making of “Candyman”, the amazing back stories of each character, the real hypnotism used on Helen’s character and the way nudity was used. Yes…the way that nudity was used. Clive knows how to use nudity as a form of art and not just sex in his movies.
I learned a lot from the special features of “Candyman” as well. I learned that the location of Cabrini Green is an actual public housing structure in Chicago and that during the last day of filming, shots were fired at the crew. I learned that Candyman was both a hero and villain. I learned that “Candyman” might have caused another riot because of the L.A. riots the same year. I learned that the world was not ready for a “villain” of African-American descent.
I truly love and respect Clive Barker’s visions and sense of direction. He is definitely a true master of horror.
I’m glad I’m typing Candyman’s name rather than saying it aloud. As for you, the reader, I hope you read this to yourself. I don’t want to hear about a guy with a hook that gutted you from groin to gullet in the local newspaper because you said his name five times.
Thank you for letting me share with you what I consider my top ten horror movie list. I hope that you all hold a horror movie marathon soon. What better day for viewing than this Friday for Halloween? I highly recommend that you watch, rent and buy these movies for a really awesome scare.

France Accuses Apple of Abusive Contracts, Will Sue Company
France Accuses Apple of Abusive Contracts, Will Sue Company
Google and Apple are among the web giants known as GAFA. AFP
14 March, 2018, 22:23
French finance minister Bruno Le Maire has accused Apple and Google of imposing "abusive" contractual terms on French startups and developers.
Le Maire added that he finds it "unacceptable" that both companies can also gather data from developers and are both able to "unilaterally modify contracts".
"I will have Google and Apple taken to the Commercial Court of Paris for abusive trade practices, because I believe that Google and Apple, no matter how powerful they are, can not treat our start-ups and our developers the way they are doing today".
"I will therefore be taking Google and Apple to the Paris commercial court for abusive trade practices", Le Maire said. The company said it has been collaborating with the French fraud office on several matters over the past few years, including its Google Play app store.
The action is based on an inquiry by France's anti-fraud office from 2015 to 2017 which uncovered "a significant imbalance" in their relations with French companies, a finance ministry source told AFP.
Le Maire also said he expected the European Union to close tax loopholes that benefit Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon by the start of 2019.
France has had a complicated relationship with Internet giants.
The French economy ministry is seeking to fine Amazon 10 million euros ($12.4 billion), according to media reports.
Le Maire reiterated that his government was working to establish worldwide rules obliging digital giants to pay taxes wherever they operate. It is unclear if European nations will obtain waivers, with Trump having singled out the EU as treating the United States badly in trade ties and threatening to tax cars as well.
Kudlow would also be a controversial choice as he is a recovering alcoholic who once had a $100,000 per month cocaine habit. Cohn quit the White House last week after Trump refused to heed his advice against imposing a steel tariff.
Before he entered the prosecutors' office, Lee announced to reporters that he is in a "position of awful discomfort today". Samsung reportedly paid six billion won ($5.6 million) in legal fees to a USA law firm on the former president's behalf.

However, even if the pay gap is remedied in future seasons, it won't benefit Foy, whose work on the series is over. But still, it's a move in the right direction: 'Going forward, no-one gets paid more than the Queen'.
Guns in schools are illegal in California but there is an exception for peace officers or those granted specific permission. Alexander was awarded Reserve Office of the Year in 2013 and is also a Seaside City Council member and Red Cross volunteer.
It is Lara's character, however, that elevates the film and makes Tomb Raider stand out among other game-to-film adaptations . Her father goes missing and she is prompted to find him by way of a mysterious object, and she is off to her first adventure.
Mississippi State, which won 32 straight games before losing to SC , opens play on March 17 against 16-seed Nicholls State. Barring one of the greatest upsets in the history of the sport, UConn will play the victor of that game Monday at Gampel.
Toys R Us is one of the nation's biggest toy retailers, employing more than 3,000 across 100 stores in the UK. Around 25 branches of Toys R Us are closed already, or will be closing over the next few days.
Potentially impacted areas include Wise, Russell and Washington counties in Virginia along with Johnson County in Tennessee. With spring just a week away, this should be our last brush with accumulating snow for winter.
Back in the 1970s it was a good idea to play for a goalless draw away from home in the first-leg, not now. We have a match on Saturday, we have no time to be sad for more than 24 hours and that's football .
Along with Iva Majoli, at 16 years and 199 days, Anisimova is the youngest player to reach the R16 at Indian Wells. I think this will change a little bit in the future, but for sure the game is good and not really any weakness.

Late night hosts skewer Trump over Rex Tillerson firing
Kono told reporters Wednesday that he "regretted" that Tillerson was sacked as the two had established a trusting relationship. Either way, Trump's freewheeling style is set to sidetrack the Senate. "Did he fire him or have him put to sleep?" he asked.
Microsoft Shakes Up Its E3 2018 Presence Significantly

Cleveland Browns agree to deal with free agent RB Carlos Hyde
Some have sat back and watched Hyde accumulate 86 receptions over the last two years and assume that he's a good pass-catcher. Hyde was healthy for a full 16-game schedule for the first time in 2017 leading to the most productive season of his career.
Jimmy Graham to the Green Bay Packers
After signing tight end Jimmy Graham the Green Bay Packers have reportedly released veteran wide receiver Jordy Nelson . Graham averaged 8.9 FanDuel points per game last season, with 57 catches (96 targets) for 520 yards and 10 touchdowns.

Join in and help Hawaii's Children!
Welcome, we're glad you're here! Hawaii Children's Action Network (HCAN) is a collection of citizens, organizations, and companies dedicated to solving complex problems facing our children. We know that children's earliest years are critical -- presenting both lots of opportunity and risk, yet we're failing to give our kids the care they need in these formative years, and the state of Hawaii's children is worsening:
- 27% of children's parents lack secure employment
- 51% are not attending pre-school
- 13% of children live in poverty
- 25% are "food insecure", meaning they don't always have enough to eat
- Two-thirds of Hawaii's children do not get simple screenings for developmental delays, yet 30% of children are at risk for them
We hope you'll join us to start implementing smart solutions for our systemic problems. The "status quo" is not working for our kids, and we want to change that.

London bendy bus catches fire outside Victoria station
A bendy bus has caught fire outside one of London's busiest railway stations.
Fire crews were called to deal with thick black smoke which was seen billowing from the number 73 on Terminus Place, opposite Victoria station, at about 0830 BST on Saturday.
The driver escaped without injury and there were no passengers on board, Transport for London (TfL) said.
Much of Terminus Place has been closed while investigations take place, although buses are stopping nearby.
But Victoria Tube station has now reopened after the sub-surface Circle and District Lines were prevented from stopping at the station while the fire was in progress.
Bendy buses, which were introduced in London in 2001, were temporarily taken out of service in 2005 when three of them caught fire.
They were only allowed back on the roads once special fire-suppression equipment had been fitted.
There was also a fire on another vehicle three years ago, with flames coming from its heating system.
"A Route 73 articulated bus, operated by Arriva London, caught fire while in Victoria bus station," said TfL in a statement.
"Emergency services attended the scene and promptly extinguished the fire. No passengers were on board and there were no reported injuries.
"TfL, the operator and the emergency services will be carrying out a full investigation into the incident."

A Homeless Management Information System, HMIS, is a data collection system, which allows communities to collect, store, and report information about homeless, or at risk of homelessness, individuals, and families receiving services. In 2000, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) released a mandate that communities receiving homeless funding must implement an HMIS for all residents receiving services paid for by these funds. Alameda County receives approximately $37 million annually from HUD, and to protect this funding, the County has implemented the HMIS. Through community partnerships of service providers and local governments, the County collects the data and regularly reports on the data collected.
Alameda County implemented its first HMIS in 2005, called InHOUSE (Information about Homelessness, Outcomes, and Service Engagement). In 2018, due to changes in the HUD data collection requirements and user feedback, the InHOUSE system was replaced and renamed Alameda County HMIS (ACHMIS). The ACHIMS is supported by a coalition of Alameda County, the fourteen cities within the county, nonprofit organizations and funders, as well as other county departments which provide services to those who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless.
ACHMIS went ‘Live’ mid May 2018; migrating 186 users, 51 partner providers and cities, and 362 programs. Since going live, has added 535 new programs, supports over 860 users, and has grown to 107 partners. Additionally, data from ACHMIS is shared with the Community Health Record, continuing the County’s commitment to a holistic approach to Homelessness, allowing healthcare providers visibility into a patient’s housing situation.
A Continuum of Care (CoC) is a regional or local planning body that coordinates housing and services funding for homeless families and individuals. All CoCs are responsible for the oversight and operation of a Homeless Management Information System (HMIS). The HMIS operates as a shared system among participating Covered Homeless Organizations (CHOs) to view client-level data. The HMIS is designed to improve effectiveness and efficiency for clients, CHOs, provider agencies, jurisdictions, other systems of care, funders, and the community. Improved knowledge gained from HMIS about various communities with special needs and supportive interventions can lead to more targeted and impactful assistance, ensuring that homeless individuals and families receive the housing and services they require. The HMIS enables data-driven decision-making, fosters collaboration among stakeholders, and enhances resource allocation to address homelessness effectively. By understanding the unique needs of different communities, interventions can be tailored to provide better outcomes and support for those experiencing homelessness.
