CNS Group adopts user-friendly iPad sales system for European sales force
A mobile iPad-based system gives CNS Group's salespeople and agents all over Europe a user-friendly sales tool, leading to greater efficiency and fewer mistakes. It also allows the sales team to continually monitor incoming orders and react quickly if sales fail to meet expectations.
“It works extremely well – it's that simple! Since we began in autumn 2012, most of our sales force have been equipped with an iPad, and our mobile sales system is now being used by 29 sales representatives, from Spain to Finland,” says Jan Hansson.
Jan Hansson is IT Development Manager at CNS Group A/S, one of Scandinavia's largest textile companies. CNS Group A/S comprises the following brands: Solid, DND, Tailored by Solid, Oxmo and Peppercorn. The company distributes its products through a network of sales agents in several countries.
Precisely matched to mobile salespeople
“I had one clear aim. To give our sales agents a tool limited appropriately to the target group. Strong IT skills are not common among people in our industry. We therefore wanted the system to be easy to use and to train people in – across languages and countries,” says Jan Hansson.
CNS Group A/S called on the services of NORRIQ, who have developed a mobile sales system fully integrated with Microsoft Dynamics NAV. What CNS Group A/S essentially wanted was a system that could support the same business logic in relation to products and collections that was already implemented in Dynamics NAV – direct from an iPad. They also wanted to be able to manage what content was visible to each salesperson from the back office, direct from Dynamics NAV.
“Our system from NORRIQ gives us a tool which makes it almost impossible for people to make mistakes, as we can limit what they have access to from the head office. We can limit what is visible in terms of both customers and brands. The agent is only able to see the brands he has to sell, and the customers he has to sell to. This means we have virtually avoided all the mistakes we have experienced in the past, as sales people no longer have access to any data other than what we make available.”
No handwritten orders and regular submission
“Another clear advantage of our mobile sales system is that we continually receive incoming orders. This is priceless to us, as CNS Group A/S produces to order. We now have a clear picture, day-by-day, of what is selling and what is not selling. In the past, orders used to trickle in by email and fax, leading up to the weekend and just before the deadline. We didn't have an accurate picture of sales, and there was a risk we might withdraw certain products because we thought they were not selling. We are no longer in that situation, and our basis for making decisions is much better” he notes.
Satisfied salespeople and more time for quality assurance
“We have been using the system for about six months now and have received very positive feedback from our sales agents. They like the user-friendly interface and are very happy that the system can run on an iPad. They value having a 'fancy' tool to demonstrate when visiting customers. The sales department in Denmark is also very happy with the system. Being able to manage changes to the collection from the head office has saved a lot of time. In the past changes had to be notified by email, requiring a lot of administration and follow-up. Now the products we withdraw simply disappear from the app. The sales department are also pleased to no longer have to do data entry when receiving orders. We spent a lot of time in the past keying in orders which arrived by fax. Orders now arrive line by line via the app – just how we want it. There are no more typing mistakes, and the sales department can now spend more time on quality assurance instead of manual data entry,” concludes Jan Hansson.

One of the most remarkable features of Super Mario Bros Wonder is its uncanny ability to provide an enjoyable experience without crossing the threshold into frustration. Unlike some platformers that lean heavily on high levels of difficulty, this game excels in making every jump and maneuver a thrill without becoming a hair-pulling challenge.
In an industry where accessibility can sometimes be a concern, Super Mario Bros Wonder stands as a shining example. It caters not only to seasoned veterans of the Mario universe but also extends a warm welcome to newcomers to the platforming genre. Its intuitive controls and gradual learning curve ensure that anyone can pick up the game and have a blast.
Players can easily distinct the map from the UI, given the stark contrast between the bold, sharp UI elements and the lush, 3D models of the world map.
For keen-eyed players, the game's speed and combo system might bring a sense of déjà vu reminiscent of the beloved Super Smash Bros Melee. It raises the intriguing question of whether the developers drew inspiration from the acclaimed brawler when engineering this title. The result is a kinetic energy that adds a unique flavor to the Mario universe.
Upon reaching a juncture in the map with two branching levels, players are presented with a tantalizing choice. The selection of a cap grants new abilities, and with it, the power to choose which path to embark on. This ingenious progression system not only provides a fresh layer of gameplay but also grants agency to the player, allowing them to chart their own course through the vibrant world of Super Mario Bros Wonder.
Before reaching that juncture, players are placed on a single path so that the game can train them on the basics.
The UI in Super Mario Bros Wonder is a testament to the developers' meticulous attention to detail. It's not just functional; it's crystal-clear, guiding players seamlessly through their adventure. The style, with its vivid colors and dynamic elements, lies in contrast to the aesthetics of Mario Kart 8, while maintaining the same level of effectiveness. The animations are sharp, every movement deliberate, showcasing a level of craftsmanship that elevates the game to a new pinnacle of visual delight.
Similar to how transparency, big buttons, and arrow borders shaped the look and feel of the iconic Mario Kart 8, Wonder's UI showcases a visual language characterized by bold outlines, contrasting shadows, and generously sized buttons. Much like its kart-racing counterpart, the Wonder UI encapsulates a playful yet intuitive design ethos, ensuring a user experience that is both visually stimulating and effortlessly navigable.
The bold outlines serve as a guiding beacon, delineating each element with a distinct and easily discernible border. This design choice not only imparts a sense of clarity but also harkens back to the retro aesthetics that have endeared Mario games to audiences for generations. Complementing these outlines are contrasting shadows, which add depth and dimensionality to the interface elements. This technique not only enhances their visual prominence but also imbues a subtle sense of tactility, inviting users to engage with the interface in a more tactile and immersive manner.
In essence, the Super Mario Bros Wonder UI is a testament to the enduring power of Mario's design legacy. By echoing the design cues of Mario Kart 8, it encapsulates a visual language that is both nostalgic and forward-looking, creating an interface that resonates with both seasoned gamers and newcomers alike. With its bold outlines, contrasting shadows, and generous buttons, the Wonder UI redefines the gaming experience, beckoning players into a world of seamless interaction and boundless fun.
Super Mario Bros Wonder is a masterstroke in game design, elegantly marrying the cherished elements of the 2D platformer genre with a modern twist. Its universal appeal, coupled with its ingenious progression system, ensures that players of all backgrounds will find something to love. Whether you're a die-hard Mario fan or a newcomer to the world of platformers, this game is bound to leave you wonderstruck. Don't miss out on the opportunity to experience this gaming marvel!

Dublin-based Flutter Entertainment, a global online-gambling company, is set to make its debut on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Flutter, which owns popular websites like FanDuel, Sportsbet, PokerStars, and Paddy Power, had previously been listed on the London Stock Exchange.
The company recently applied to the Securities and Exchange Commission to list its shares on the NYSE in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. This move comes as Flutter aims to tap into the vast potential of the U.S. market and provide retail consumers with easier access to its stock.
CEO Peter Jackson expressed optimism about the listing, stating that it would enable Flutter to leverage the deep and liquid capital markets in the United States, bringing significant benefits to the group. Additionally, Flutter believes that a U.S. listing will facilitate easier investment in the company for U.S. investors compared to Europe.
Currently, there are limited options available for U.S. traders looking to invest in online sports betting companies. While Penn Entertainment sold Barstool Sports back to founder Dave Portnoy, industry leaders in U.S. online sports betting include Flutter and DraftKings. Walt Disney’s ESPN unit also sold the ESPN trademark to Penn Entertainment, while Caesars Entertainment and MGM Resorts International have their own sportsbooks.
The upcoming NYSE listing is expected to attract enthusiasts of both football and investing, providing them with a new opportunity to participate in Flutter Entertainment’s success.
Flutter vs. DraftKings: Battling for Market Leadership
Both Flutter and DraftKings are engaged in a fierce battle for market-share leadership. In a November 3rd conference call, DraftKings proudly announced that it had achieved the number-one spot in combined online sports betting and iGaming gross gaming revenue share in the U.S. Meanwhile, Flutter’s third-quarter conference call revealed that FanDuel, their gaming brand, is experiencing rapid growth and has secured the number two position in the U.S. market.
DraftKings chose not to comment when requested.
DraftKings stock has experienced a phenomenal year, with a 208% gain thus far in 2023. Additionally, their monthly unique players saw a substantial 40% increase in the third quarter compared to the previous year, alongside an increase in average revenue per monthly unique player.
On the other hand, Flutter, with its global business reach beyond FanDuel, has seen a modest 9% growth in stock value in 2023. However, on Thursday, the stock experienced a significant 10% decline, marking its largest drop since March 2022. The dip followed Flutter’s announcement that full-year profits had fallen from the previous year despite an increase in revenue.
Flutter’s third-quarter revenue of £2.04 billion fell short of Wall Street expectations of £2.18 billion, attributed to weakness in international segments, particularly in Australia. However, their U.S. revenue and monthly users showed strength and growth, bolstering confidence in the FanDuel product.
While anticipating potential weakness in the near-term as results are fully analyzed, BTIG analyst Clark Lampen believes that the current valuation presents an intriguing opportunity based on expected improvement in FanDuel performance and a positive outlook for their U.S. operations. Lampen rates Flutter ADRs as a Buy with a price target of £177.
Furthermore, Lampen suggests that Flutter’s NYSE listing will likely attract increased investor interest, leading to improved share-price performance over the next few quarters.

Professor Isabella Schwartz, the director of the rehabilitation department at the hospital, is excited to announce the arrival of a new device that will revolutionize patient rehabilitation. This device, which was imported from the USA and is the only one of its kind in Jerusalem, allows for incredible therapeutic options for patients.
The device, developed at NASA, works by allowing patients to step slightly and be carried in the air by air that flows from below. This allows them to start putting weight on their foot in a measured and supervised manner almost immediately after surgery. This has led to much faster rehabilitation progress for patients who have been injured in their legs.
Professor Schwartz explained that this device can be used to rehabilitate various types of injuries that have led to a limitation or prevention of walking, such as muscle weakness or balance problems. It can also be used for sports injuries and is even used by top-class athletes. The hospital purchased the device with a donation from Hadassah International Israel.
One patient, Dvir, who was operated on his leg due to a pedicle injury, used the device to return to walking in a normal way. He mentioned that during treatment on the device, he felt like he was walking like before the injury and that it helped him feel like he’s on his way to walking with both feet independently.
Dvir’s determination and desire to move forward are an inspiration to everyone around him. Professor Schwartz noted that this new therapeutic option will help many more patients with their rehabilitation process and she is excited about what it means for her department.

A Preliminary Study of the Immune System in Free-Ranging Southern Sea Otters (Enhydra lutris nereis)
In 1995, after a decade of growth, the southern sea otter (Enhydra lutris nereis) population began a pattern of slow decline associated with high adult mortality rates. This decline continues to date despite birth rates comparable to the Alaskan northern sea otter. As a result of these findings, research efforts were initiated to identify causes of mortality. The National Wildlife Health Center in conjunction with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the California Department of Fish and Game identified infectious diseases as a major cause of sea otter death during the period from 1992 to 1996. Multiple pathogens were implicated in these deaths. Occasionally unusual pathogens such as Coccidioides immitis and Toxoplasma sp. were identified in the sea otter carcasses. These finding were surprising, since these agents often cause opportunistic infections in immunosuppressed humans and domestic animals. Furthermore, animals dying with infections contained greater tissue concentrations of dibutyltin, a degradation product of tributyltin, and 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethane (DDT) than animals dying of traumatic causes. Elevated concentrations of tributyltin and DDTs in the diet or body have been associated with immunologic dysfunction in other mammalian species. Together these findings raised concern regarding the immunologic health of the sea otter population and stimulated studies in our laboratory to develop immune function assays for use in this species.
To evaluate the immune system in sea otters inhabiting specific contaminated and non-contaminated sites within the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, lymphocyte function assays (proliferation and IL-2 receptor expression) were developed. Blood samples were collected from apparently healthy free-ranging southern sea otters from March 1998 through to the present. In addition to collecting CBC data, a panel of antibodies that label specific WBC subsets, such as B and T lymphocytes, were developed for use in sea otters. These reagents were used to evaluate circulating leukocyte subsets and examine their surface protein expression. These studies allowed us to develop normal ranges for the immunophenotype of circulating lymphocyte subsets and for lymphocyte function in the southern sea otter. Significant age-related changes were observed in B lymphocyte numbers and MHC II expression. The functional significance of these changes is not known. Reduced lymphocyte function was detected in a few sea otters sampled. Studies in other species suggest that these animals may be immunologically impaired.
In conclusion, our preliminary studies show that lymphocyte function assays and immunophenotyping of peripheral blood are promising tests that should be included in the minimum database to assess the health of free-ranging as well as captive southern sea otters. This data can be used to identify animals with abnormal T lymphocyte function as well as to screen the peripheral blood for phenotypic changes. These are valuable tests that can be studied in conjunction with markers of chemical exposure, behavioral studies, and tests for exposure to infectious agents. Together, this information will allow us to better understand the sea otter immune system and how environmental and anthropogenic factors may be affecting the health of the southern sea otter population.

As stern efforts are being made by the President Buhari led administration to bring to justice those who had turned the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) to their ATM machine for years, some guilty elements have started another miscalculated campaign of threats to the forensic auditors appointed to undertake the forensic auditing of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC).
This uncanny move by detractors of truth reveals yet another progression of desperation from those who do not want the progress of the Niger Delta region.
In their first attempt, they engineered and initiated an unnecessary probe in order to create a smokescreen of confusion just to avert justice.
Today, the vehicle conveying the forensic auditors was attacked in Port Harcourt the capital of Rivers State by sponsored thugs who threatened to deal with them if they continued the auditing. They also alleged to know where the auditors were lodging and would launch an attack if they continued with the exercise.
This act is greatly condemned by many Nigerians especially those from the Niger Delta Region who want all those involved in the misappropriation of NDDC funds in the past, brought to book.
For those who have allowed themselves to be used as tools of destruction, is it not shameful that the NDDC, with much allocation, has experienced little or no concrete development for years?
Is it not tear-jerking that the NDCC ranks very high for abandoned projects despite the billions of naira pumped into the commission for years?
For how long should we keep quiet for them to continue using the NDCC as their CASH COW while the good people of Niger Delta continue to suffer underdevelopment?
Why can’t we support this audacious step by Mr. President to bring sanity to the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC)?
Let it be on record that no matter their evil ploy to stop the truth, this forensic audit is bound to expose all of them.
We salute the courage of our able Hon. Minister of Niger Delta Affairs (Senator Godswill Akpabio) to ensure that the corruption that bedeviled this commission for years is put to an end.
We call on our security agencies to expedite actions in bringing these unscrupulous elements who parade themselves as thugs to order.
We call on the management of the NDDC to continue their appreciable efforts towards providing a conducive and safe environment for the forensic auditors to continue this redemptive exercise.
We shall rise and continue to seek accountability from our leaders (present and past) and those who have the privilege of representing us in public offices.
Let it be on record that we will not stop our positive agitations for this forensic audit to be completed and those found culpable, brought to justice.

The Witness Protection Program Advisory Committee has released its third annual report to the Commissioner of the RCMP. The Committee advises the Commissioner on matters related to the effective and efficient operation of the federal Witness Protection Program.
"The Witness Protection Program continues to seek out ways to best serve those needing its services, and thanks the Advisory Committee for its report," said Assistant Commissioner Eric Slinn, Federal Policing Specialized Services. "The Committee recognized our employees' hard work including establishing a formal, standard process to assess protectees, while considering their individual risks and needs."
Recognized universally as one of the most effective law enforcement tools to fight crime, witness protection facilitates the security of individuals, like compromised informants, police agents and witnesses, who are the subject of substantial threats, intimidation or violence as a result of their assistance or involvement with law enforcement. The Witness Protection Program places protectees at the forefront of its decision-making, and continues to implement enhancements with regard to consultations with subject matter experts in the areas of risk assessment, criminal behaviour, and psychology.
The RCMP, on behalf of Public Safety Canada, administers the federal Witness Protection Program as directed in the Witness Protection Program Act. The Program remains available to not only the RCMP, but all law enforcement agencies across Canada, foreign agencies, and federal security, defence and safety organizations.
The Witness Protection Program Advisory Committee is made up of independent subject matter experts and assesses the Program's functions, processes and protocols. The report provides formal recommendations on significant elements needed to continue the Program's evolution. This year's recommendations cover the improvement of policy and best practices related to the administration of the Program, the use of technology to improve elements of the program, and developing and fostering relationships with external partners.

In the NFL it is a rare occurrence for a restricted free agent to be stolen away from his franchise, but that is exactly what could happen to Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders, now that the New England Patriots have shown interest.
Even the fact that a restricted free agent visited another team is an anomaly. According to Adam Schefter on Twitter, Sanders visited the Patriots on Friday. It's a horrible sign for Pittsburgh.
The worst part: There's not much the Steelers can do.
Pittsburgh slapped Sanders with an original-pick tender last week (per ESPN) to keep him around. Given that Sanders was taken in the third round of the 2010 NFL draft, this means the Patriots would give up just a third-round pick in this year's draft to steal Sanders.
The problem here for Pittsburgh (and the genius on New England's part) is that the Steelers are strapped for cash. It's why the team refused to pay Mike Wallace what he wanted, cut James Harrison and made LaMarr Woodley restructure his deal, per Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
All the Patriots have to do now is offer Sanders a ridiculously front-loaded contract, and the Steelers would have no chance of matching the deal.
It's likely the Steelers would go out of their way in an attempt to match—just not likely it is possible. Allowing Mike Wallace to walk was made more tolerable by the fact Antonio Brown and Sanders would still be around.
For New England, a third-round pick is a small price to pay for a proven receiver such as Sanders. He is going on 26 years old and can play every receiver slot on the field.
Sanders has 4.4 speed that can stretch the field and fits nicely with a revamped receiving core, including Danny Amendola and Donald Jones. His speed would also open things up underneath for tight ends Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez.
Last year was Sanders' best to date. He caught 44 passes for 626 yards and one score—as the third option behind Wallace and Brown. He averaged an impressive 14.2 yards per catch while showing off his sure-hands.
Not to mention stealing, Sanders from Pittsburgh would deal an AFC arch-nemesis a fatal blow as the team attempts to get younger, cheaper and more talented. The loss of Sanders would cripple the receiving crops in place and force the team to look at rookies in the draft.
Most importantly, it's not often you get a receiver as young and talented as Sanders for so cheap.
The Patriots haven't exactly hit home runs in the third round in recent years. Last year, it was Jake Bequette. In 2011, it was Steven Ridley and Ryan Mallet. 2010 was Taylor Price. 2009? Brandon Tate and Tyrone McKenzie.
The list goes on—the point is, Sanders is a sure-thing moreso than any prospect the Patriots could take this year.
Tom Brady's gain would be a rival's loss and a shiny new weapon for him, who should boost the offense for years, a likelihood that would be far from guaranteed from a third-round choice.
It sounds like the Patriots would be geniuses to steal Sanders away.

This week’s Fretworks features music for the holiday in various arrangements from solo guitar to four guitars with orchestra. The holiday program will air on Saturday evening at 7 and be repeated Wednesday at 7 on Christmas Eve.
This week on Fretworks, I’ll have a couple of somewhat unusual selections as well as more expected fare.
On the next Fretworks, we’ll hear Bach played on the mandolin by Chris Thile, music from the first ever guitar concerto recording from the New York Philharmonic with Sharon Isbin, and music of the holidays from guitarists Giovanni De Chiaro and John Stover.
This week on Fretworks, we’ll hear the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet in their arrangement of music from the Renaissance by Giovanni Gabrielli.
This week on Fretworks, I have some music out of the ordinary guitar repertoire. We’ll hear part of a big guitar concerto by Alan Hovhaness, a piano sonata by Mozart arranged for flute and guitar, and a mandolin concerto from the 18th century. Listen on Classical 101, Saturday evening at 7 and Wednesday evening at 7 pm.
One of the world’s premier classical guitarists, Sharon Isbin will be featured on the next Fretworks, airing Saturday evening at 7 and Wednesday evening at 7 on Classical 101.
Not long ago, Milos Karadaglic’s new recording of the Concierto de Aranjuez was featured on Fretworks. For the next program, airing Saturday evening at 7 and Wednesday at 7 pm on Classical 101, I’ll have the second most popular work by Joaquin Rodrigo from that same release with the exciting young guitarist from Montenegro.
Fretworks usually features the classical guitar, and there is plenty of that on the next program, but this week, I’ll also have a mandolin concerto from the end of the 18th century by Johann Nepomuk Hummel. Hummel was a student of Mozart for two years as a youngster and later a friend of Beethoven Vienna.
Our next Fretworks program on Classical 101 will feature the Concierto Madrigal by Spanish composer Joaquin Rodrigo. It’s a concerto for two guitars, not quite as well-known as the more famous Concierto de Aranjuez. The Concierto Madrigal was written in the form of a suite and is based on the Renaissance madrigal “Felices ojos mios” (Happy Eyes of Mine).
Milos Karadaglic,one of the stars of the classical guitar world, is already helping other talented younger performers find their way.

Tomorrow, 16 September, we join in the celebration of International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer. A date established by the UN on 16 September 1994 to commemorate the date of the signing of the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer in 1987. Under the slogan “Montreal Protocol: repairing the ozone layer and reducing climate change”, the aim of this day is to protect and save the ozone layer which is being destroyed by global war.
The ozone layer is a fragile strip of gas that protects the Earth from the harmful effects of the sun’s rays, thus helping to preserve life on the planet. The use of certain chemicals over the years had damaged the layer, endangering the existence of humans and other living things on the planet. The Montreal Protocol enabled the elimination and reduction of the use of ozone-depleting substances, helping not only to protect the ozone layer for current and future generations, but also to improve the performance of efforts to address climate change. These efforts have also protected human health and ecosystems by reducing ultraviolet radiation from the sun reaching the Earth.
Today, the biocidal active substances used in Europe are mostly chemical compounds. The problems caused by the excessive use of pesticides remain a concern for the sustainability of our environment and global stability. In fact, their use worldwide has increased by 50% in the last 30 years, and 2.5 million tonnes of commercial pesticides are now applied annually. Fumigant biocides have been a common method of control for decades in the fields of Public Health, Food Hygiene and Animal Health. Many chemicals used today contain gases that damage air and environmental quality and destroy ozone molecules in the atmosphere.
The LIFE NextFUMIGREEN project aims to protect the environment by developing natural fumigants based on active substances extracted from plant extracts to control pests in greenhouses. These fumigant biopesticides proposed by LIFE NextFUMIGREEN are less toxic than conventional pesticides, and their use will mitigate adverse effects on the environment and human health. In fact, compared to the use of chemical pesticides, LIFE NextFUMIGREEN’s natural fumigants could reduce the impact on carbon footprint by 80% and groundwater pollution by 70%.
This 16 September, more than ever, we are calling for the importance of promoting a sustainable environment and adopting practices that help address the challenges of climate change.

My family and I moved to Boston from Vietnam when I was 5, thus we had a very traditional upbringing in a city and school system made up of diverse minorities. The friends I encountered along the way taught me their culture through food, mainly from the West Indies and Caribbean, along with other countries in Asia and Africa. I remember trying tostones (fried green plantains) for the first time back in high school made by my Puerto Rican friend’s mother. Or Diri ak Djon Djon (Haitian black mushroom rice) made by a friend’s grandmother, and this just sparked an interest in learning the steps using ingredients I’m not familiar with. Although the chefs creating these dishes did not speak a word of English, we bonded over the plates shared and conversation made through them physically showing me what constituted that meal. Besides visiting the motherland, my first travels naturally led me south to the different countries in the Caribbean. Then more recently, I fell in love with Europe back in 2016 after traveling to Portugal as well as Madrid, and fell even harder the 2nd time last year in Rome and Florence. After a life lesson in Rome, I developed a “screw it” attitude and went for whatever my heart desired. I did not want to live a life regretting chances I didn’t take or opportunities I let pass me by. That inspired my month long first solo trip to Barcelona ending with a couple days in Paris.
This page is a snapshot of my travels and culinary adventure in those respective countries, along with recipes inspired by the memories experienced. Feel free to show me different variations on how you would create it, I’m always open to learning something new! Happy exploring!

Inside Scoop on NJ’s School Choice WeekJanuary 28, 2013
New WHYY Post: Do Private/Parochial School Students Get Full Access to Special Education Services?January 30, 2013
NJ Senators Jennifer Beck and Teresa Ruiz are filing a bill that creates a task force to study the state’s problems in providing special education services to NJ’s 215,000 kids who meet eligibility requirements. From Bill S 600:
Despite the ever-increasing allocation of State and local dollars to fund special education services each year, many public schools in the State are ill-equipped to provide effective special education and related services for their students within the district and must send students to out-of-district public schools or private schools in order to meet their needs, which increases the overall cost of providing special education and creates additional hardships for the students and their parents.
A series of recent newspaper articles alleged that millions of dollars are squandered on special education programs each year due to fraud, a lack of oversight, a failure to document the effectiveness of programs, the need to send students to out-of-district public or private schools, and a lack of uniform standards for educating students with certain disabilities such as autism.
Many parents and guardians of students requiring special education feel that the programs and services do not adequately meet the needs of their children, and that the current system is too inflexible to allow for necessary programmatic changes; and It is therefore in the public interest of special education students and the parents or guardians of those students to establish a task force to study various issues related to improving service delivery and providing appropriate and cost-effective special education programs and services for public school students.

IN FULL BLOOM
Rose Royce II: In Full Bloom is the second album released by the Funk band Rose Royce in July 1977. Produced by Norman Whitfield, the album topped the R&B albums chart. It also reached #9 on the Billboard 200. The album yielded two Billboard R&B Top Ten singles, "Do Your Dance (Part 1)" and "Ooh Boy". Packed with tight funk jams and horn-heavy construction, tempered only occasionally by Dickey's sweet ballads, In Full Bloom is a Disco-Funk masterpiece.

Mobile payments app developer PushPay is heading for a compliance listing on the New Zealand small cap board, following two rounds of capital-raising since December, which have brought on Auckland private investors the Huljich family and Aaron Bhatnagar as shareholders.
The Huljich vehicle, Christopher & Banks Private Equity, now holds approximately 22 percent of the company, while Bhatnagar holds nearly 4 percent in PushPay, a free, downloadable mobile phone application, which its backers say is gaining ground in the US, Australian and New Zealand markets.
Its niche is payments made away from points of sale, with monthly sales showing 20 percent growth to produce "annualised payments volume" of $25 million, said PushPay chief executive Chris Heaslip in a statement.
Christopher & Banks and Bhatnagar's Alliance Equities have agreed to underwrite a further funding round planned for June, which is intended to prepare the company for a compliance listing on either the NZAX or its replacement board for small cap companies, currently being developed by the exchange operator, NZX.
"It's for the (PushPay) board to confirm the exact sum" for the next capital-raising round, Bhatnagar told BusinessDesk, but it was likely the company would raise "more than we've raised so far."
Businesses that make sales away from stores, such as tradespeople, non-profit charities and, in the US, the "faith sector" are among adopters of PushPay, which boasts strong security, a 10-second payment process, and is established for payments in 28 countries.
Credit or debit card information is only registered once and securely stored in a tokenised form away from the phone. It can be used for one-off payments or to schedule regular direct debits.
Established in 2011, PushPay last year attracted $1 million in backing from Douglas Kemsley, the Hamilton-based former chairman of internet and cloud services provider Maxnet, and a $253,000 development grant from the government's Callaghan Innovation Fund.

Innuendo aside, I'm looking for some good portable headphones(full size) that look cool and aren't bulky but still deliver good sound quality. I will want to use them in public/at school/etc. so that is why bulkiness and looks enter into the equation. I think this might help a lot of people searching for some good portable cans.
So in brief:
- Somewhat compact
- Sleek/chill/cool looking
- Bass rich but good all around
- Most likely closed
- Not too expensive (especially for a portable setup)
- Of course low impedance for an iPod
- Suggestions for criteria?
Anyways I'm easy, just need something to get me through the week basically.

Your carpet is one of the biggest investments you will ever make inside your home or business. However, it’s consistently exposed to stains, dirt, as well as the wear and tear of day-to-day use. Also, it may harbor dust mites and allergy causing contaminants that you cannot see, yet these dust mites and contaminants get trapped deep inside your carpet fibers.
It is actually this dirt and grime, and not simply daily wear, that erodes your carpet and shortens the life of your carpet fibers. The majority of cleaning agents like shampoos, detergents, as well as foams may be messy and really destroy your carpeting fiber, possibly voiding your manufacturer’s warranty.

Lucky 95’s Rescue
Picture driving down I-95, or any interstate highway, and observing some cruel inhumane person(s) tossing a little helpless puppy from their moving car onto the side of I-95. To any humane observer that would be a shocker. I personally have trouble dealing with someone tossing paper trash and littering. But a living, breathing helpless animal. This is what Marcy Elovitz witnessed last winter when driving home on Interstate – 95. It was truly amazing how that little puppy survived the fall after being tossed out of a moving vehicle like garbage without any broken bones! And then how this guardian PET PAL Angel from up above was at the right place and right time to stop and save & rescue this little puppy from a certain death.
Our hats go off to Mary Elovitz. But this is only the beginning! She never blinked an eye or hesitated a second to stop and save this pet, she just scooped that little puppy up into her arms and looked into her eyes to see how seriously hurt she was, she saw that the puppy was abused and had been left to die as she was covered with scars, fleas, ticks and car grease all over her little body and was nothing but skin & bones. She immediately took her home and carefully examined her and contacted Brenda Beck of P.A.W. for immediate assistance where she had one of our lifesaving publications on hand. Brenda immediately went to meet Marcy and our new saved pet we named Lucky-95 and took him into our arms and to our vet for immediate observation, besides all the bruises & being banged up she would be o.k. with proper medication and lots & lots of food to put weight on her little bony body.
Some may remember seeing the story of Lucky 95 on Channel 7 news back when all this occurred. We had a lot of calls from the concerned public to Adopt Lucky-95, but to make a long wonderful story a little shorter, Lucky 95 is thriving and happy new life with her new PET PAL owners. We are proud to announce that our friend Toni Owens & family where she is the manager of Pet Supermarket in Deerfield adopted Lucky 95 and opened up her heart & home up for this little courageous puppy to join her own 3 pets she already has. It’s all of us PET PAL hero’s in the community that take the time and all pull together to help these precious souls of fur. Thanks to all that have helped in rescuing, saving & adopting Lucky-95. Another great PET PAL rescue happy ending!

UPDATE: September 26 – Most of the abandoned dogs have now been adopted.
Story from August 30:
Mounties are investigating after 50 small dogs were left outside two Lower Mainland animal shelters overnight.
Richmond city spokesperson Ted Townsend said 38 dogs were discovered at 7 a.m. Friday morning by Richmond Animal Protection Society staff. He said they were dumped sometime after 11 p.m.
Twelve other dogs were dumped at the New Westminster Animal Shelter overnight, and although it’s unknown whether they are connected, the dogs were all Terriers, Yorkshire Terriers and Chihuahuas.
“It has created a burden for the shelter to have this many dogs come in at once, so they’re scrambling, but they do have the facilities,” Townsend said.
Townsend said all the dogs appear to be in good health and have been well cared for.
“The shelter is just processing them and getting them ready to see the vet,” he said. “We’ll put them up for adoption and we don’t expect it to be too much of a challenge to find them homes.”
A spokesperson for the shelter said it will cost more than $10,000 for basic vet care and to spay and neuter all the dogs.
Mounties have opened a file to investigate where the dogs came from, but Townsend wouldn’t speculate whether they may be from a puppy mill.
Townsend said if the owners had followed proper procedure at the shelter the dogs would have been taken in.
“They chose to simply abandon them,” he said.

recently I was wondering if Special Skills did the same damage on other weapons as they do on their original weapons. as you can see, Twister does different amounts of damage when placed on different weapons. I thought this would be good information to know for those of us who like to use different Specials on our weapons. the damage numbers are damage per hit.
I posted this here to help people see what the different Skills are and to get an idea of how a Special's damage would look if placed on another weapon.
recently I tried Scalp on Skull Shield. it did a lot of damage, but I prefer Teleport and Scalp instead. the ability to Teleport away from danger is worth the lower damage Scalp causes, even though I had more firepower with the Skulls and damage reduction.
in the end, it is all about what we want the build to do, and hoping the dream becomes reality.

Well, we were definitely on the edge of our seats during that.
Eva Longoria got more of a surprise than she bargained for Tuesday night when she set foot on The Late Late Show set for a round of "Nuzzle Whaaa?" with host James Corden, Paul Feig and Sam Richardson.
The game was simple—the stars are blindfolded and have to nuzzle a mystery object. It started off rather harmless when they were tasked with nuzzling a cake, a disco ball and an ice sculpture of a sea horse. Cold, but easy.
However, the stakes rose when Longoria and Corden unknowingly had to come face to face with a large lizard. Judging by the sounds of the audience, the actress and host knew something was awry.
"I hope it's not a snake," she yelled out. No, Eva—it was worse.
The duo quickly caught on that it was an animal they were touching, but couldn't quite figure out which one.
"Is it a possum?" Longoria anxiously asked as she touched her head to the reptile still blindfolded. "Is it a squirrel or raccoon?...Is it a rat?"
Finally, Corden figured it out. "Is it a lizard?" Bingo!
Longoria immediately ripped off her blindfold and screamed in shock.
"Could that have hurt me in any way?" Corden asked in outrage. While the answer was no, the host was not so trusting. "I don't believe you!"
Watch Longoria's reaction above and try not to laugh.


Visiting U.S. senator pledges expedite weapons delivery to Taiwan
Taipei, April 13 (CNA) A visiting member of the U.S. Senate Defense Appropriations Committee on Thursday said lawmakers were working on expediting weapons sales to Taiwan amid concerns over Chinese military coercion.
At a meeting with President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) in the Presidential Office in Taipei, Republican Senator John Hoeven expressed his concerns over the coercive behavior of China's military in the Taiwan Strait over the past few years.
As a member of the Senate Defense Appropriations Committee, Hoeven said he was directly involved in the issues of delivering military hardware Taiwan bought from the U.S.
He promised that the Senate was "working on it" with regards to speeding up the process of "providing military hardware that you have purchased that needs to be delivered."
Hoeven added that his ongoing visit to Taiwan was also about "what else can we do to work together to strengthen your defense and to work with you on that defense."
According to the senator, who was governor of North Dakota from 2000 to 2010, Taiwan has been a very good friend to himself, his state and the United States.
"So it is very important that we continue to stand together and work together for deterrence for peace and for prosperity," he told Tsai.
According to Republican Congresswoman Young Kim of California, Washington has run up a backlog of US$21 billion worth of defense articles it has agreed to sell Taiwan.
The U.S. Department of State stated previously that the backlog was not due to Washington prioritizing support for Ukraine, but rather because of U.S. defense industry's limited production capacity.
According to Taiwan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA), Hoeven and his delegation's three-day visit will run until Saturday.
The visit marks Hoeven's first visit to the country, MOFA said in a press release.
The U.S. senator was welcomed by Douglas Hsu, head of MOFA's Department of North American Affairs at Taoyuan International Airport early Thursday.
According to a separate press release issued by the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT), Washington's de facto embassy in Taipei, the delegation's visit is part of a wider trip to the Indo-Pacific region.
The delegation will meet with senior Taiwan leaders to discuss U.S.-Taiwan relations, regional security, trade and investment, agriculture, and other significant issues of mutual interest, AIT added.

To keep spirit of folk alive

|Sambalpuri folk singer Padmini Dora. Telegraph picture|
Bhubaneswar, June 8: When Sambalpuri folk singer Padmini Dora came on stage at the Rangabati festival organised by the Odisha tourism department recently, the emotional intensity of her voice left the audience asking for more.
From veteran musicians to listeners at the programme, everyone appreciated Padmini’s performance.
For the singer, who has been performing for over 20 years now, every time she gets such a response for her rendition, it makes her “dreams” come true.
Born and brought up in Sambalpur, Padmini neither came from a family with a background in music nor had she ever imagined that she would be a professional singer one day.
“I loved music as a school girl. But I never got a chance to be trained. So, I never thought that I could make a career in singing. But when I was in Class VIII, some eminent singers of our region once heard my voice at a school performance and encouraged me to sing,” said Padmini.
By just listening to shows on classical music on the radio, a 15-year-old Padmini trained her vocal chords. Later, she gathered the courage to appear for an audition at the All India Radio in 1991 as a Class X student and got through.
“My parents consistently helped me to pursue my dreams and, miraculously, I happened to meet well-known singer Bijay Behera when I was looking for some guidance. He was my first guru and trained me the basics,” she said.
Padmini soon established her name by singing pure folk songs for musicians such as Abhijit Mazumdar for albums such as Chanhara and Luk Lukani. Her works with composer Ratan Pujari are popular even today.
One of her well-known albums is Manchuni that is based on traditional Radha Krishna rasa in the Danda folk style of Balangir and Sonepur.
The singer who is well versed in nachniya, bajniya, dalkhai, raserkali and danda folk varieties of singing, however, laments that folk music is in a bad state.
“The advent of video albums should have brought about a positive change for folk music, but over the years it only brought vulgarity. But our efforts are on to keep the authentic traditional music and songs alive. We are sure folk songs will be conserved,” said Padmini, who is a part of the Lahiri dance troupe that performs the authentic music and dance of western Odisha.
Talking about receiving appreciation for her shows, Padmini said: “When I started performing on stage, I felt like I was living my dreams and the same happens even today. I am delighted that the urban crowd love the rhythm of our music.”
Although busy performing throughout the country for various cultural programmes, Padmini loves being in Bhubaneswar. “I have always received rave response for the authentic folk music and I will be back here to perform during Raja,” she said.

The History of Budapest
The area of the capital has been inhabited for thousands of years.
The area is known for its celtic settlements from the 3rd century BC. In the first decades BC Transdanubia was conquered by the Romans who incorporated it into the Roman empire under the name of Pannonia. Aquincum, the now Óbuda district, developed to Pannonia's capital. After Roman withdrawal, it was first controlled by Huns then by Eastern Goths, Longobards and Avars. From the 8th century it was inhabited by Slavs, vassals of the Franks. The Hungarians appeared here late 9th century. They established their first settlements on the island of Csepel and in Aquincum. After the Mongol invasion in 1241-42 the Buda castle was fortified. Aquincum was given the name Óbuda (i.e. old Buda), in contrast to reconstructed (=new) Buda. On the left bank Pest emerged.
In the 13th century Buda took over the role of Székesfehérvár as regal seat, thus becoming the country's leading town. The castle was enlarged and reshaped and churches were erected (Matthias Church, Maria Magdalena Church). It was under King Matthias that the Buda castle had its golden age. It was in this period, too, that Pest equalled Buda after it had recieved privileges from the king. Óbuda, that was in possession of the queen, remained less developed. Round 1500, followed by a rapid increase in population in the outskirts of Pest and in the Castle area, the town was enclosed with new ramparts. After the defeat at Mohács in 1526, and especially after Buda was captured by the Turks in 1541, the town started deteriorating, doing so until 1686, when it was recaptured. Except for some baths, chapels and bastions hardly anything remained from those times. In the 18th century large-scale reconstruction works started both in Buda and in Pest. Soon the historical inner town was surrounded by fast growing outer districts.
Baroque churches, palaces and dwelling houses existing even in our days are the legacy of this period. Late 18th and early 19th century the classicism gained currency, a style that was to dominate Pest-Buda's architectural character for the century to come.It was then, that Pest-Buda resumed being the centre of the country's economic, political and spiritual life. In 1838, floods caused considerable demage. The Settlement with the Austrian Habsburgs in 1867 created political stability, which gave new impetus to the economy. Private ownership gained ground. Large scale industrialization began. Shortage of workforce on one hand, and owerpopulated rural areas on the other, resulted in rush increase in the number of townspeople. In 1873 the formerly separate but interdependent towns Buda, Pest and Óbuda were integrated into one administrative unit : Budapest. Due concentration of capital and workforce and Budapest's pivotal position in the country's railway system, brought about a prosperity never seen before. Big industry was enjoying a boom. Most public buildings were erected at that time. Due to the - sometimes excessive - development of Budapest provincial towns were pushed in background. In 1870 following a modern concept of town planning, new main roads were designated, and a triple ring of boulevards together with a system of avenues were formed. During the Second World War many buildings were destroyed or seriously demaged, most of which were reconstructed in subsequent years. Heavy artillery fire in the 1956 revolution did a lot of damage to the buildings, too. In 1950, the suburbs were incorporated into the capital to form Great-Budapest. In the 60's new construction technologies gave a fresh impetus to the modernization of Budapest : large housing estates were built and metro lines established.

Happy Halloween! Tonight I handed out this junk to our twenty or so trick-or-treaters. Aww, I love my little skeleton guy. These are actually the leftovers. Must give this away soon so I don’t eat it.
I figured that since this is a food blog I should discuss more food in this post. Last night I tried this recipe for Chicken and Sausage Jambalaya from Cooking Light, but it was just okay. It was pretty bland, so I wouldn’t really recommend the recipe, but it has potential.
Yup, still sporting that Black Swan polish.
It was alright. Filled with smoked turkey sausage, shredded chicken, rice, green pepper, tomatoes, onion, rice, garlic, thyme, and cayenne pepper (which I inhaled and was having a sneezing fit all night.)
Tonight’s dinner, on the other hand, was somewhat haphazardly thrown together, containing leftover items, since I wasn’t starving after having a potluck at work together. I heated up some leftover turkey sausage, steamed some broccoli, and served it with a scoop of my leftover potluck dish, which was a Tortellini Salad with pepperoni, mozzarella cubes, and artichokes.
After dinner, I had to go rescue this bia (in her peacock costume, no less!!! muahahaha) and her dead car. Now I know how to use jumper cables. Five Cent Femme (FCF) had that shiz totally under control, meanwhile I was on the side freaking out, whining that we need a man. I’m so helpless. FCF totally impressed me with her mad car-starting skillz tonight. Especially whilst frolicking in a tulle peacock tutu.
Currently listening to: Green Valley – Puscifer.
Question of the day: Do you know how to use jumper cables? Am I the only helpless chick out there?
