Coldest Night Of Autumn So Far On Tap

7:00 AM Tukiyooo 0

Waking up this morning to a cooler push of air working in from the west and northwest as the post-cold push finally made it here, nearly 48 hours after the front first pushed through the region on Friday morning.  This is setting us up for what will likely be the coldest morning of the Autumn for the region tomorrow morning.<br /><br />Our coldest morning so far in the city is 37, set back on October 25th and 26th. Just about everyone else has been colder than that -- bottoming near or below freezing. It does look like tonight provides most of the region a subfreezing night, with the city probably bottoming out below what occurred a couple of weeks ago.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKkkBnZbrALoeXeLFIWytxEipnIEQ4Bm9Ev1qWEWX_ZoVJzHgnacToYecvJyVbzf1XYIiQaaXq7o_V1bwfiQHXYdgEPA5XGmKzeVvtGDxx41sCx4MGfjEtYJ97-XHuteje1EPV4aPUMchO/s1600/110313-AM.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKkkBnZbrALoeXeLFIWytxEipnIEQ4Bm9Ev1qWEWX_ZoVJzHgnacToYecvJyVbzf1XYIiQaaXq7o_V1bwfiQHXYdgEPA5XGmKzeVvtGDxx41sCx4MGfjEtYJ97-XHuteje1EPV4aPUMchO/s400/110313-AM.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">NAM model guidance for tomorrow morning -- 20's common north/west of the city.</td></tr></tbody></table>As a result, freeze warnings are up for Philly and Delaware County for tonight.

<b>Importance ITIL In Technology</b>, IT Asset Management (ITAM) is one of the more challenging, and frequently overlooked, issues when it comes to IT Services Management (ITSM). A diverse set of assets, constant changes, and frequently, the politics and involvement of multiple groups need to be considered when determining the resources your organization has at its disposal and their status. At some point we have all found that the source of record for some of our organization’s most important and valuable items is an Excel spreadsheet on the desktop of someone’s workstation.<br /><br />Identifying the Problem when Implementing IT Services Management<br /><br />One of the fundamental goals of implementing IT Services Management practices such as IT Infrastructure Library or ITIL is to increase the efficiency and value of your environment. Without a solid understanding of what that currently entails, your ability to optimally utilize, plan, and measure your effectiveness is severely challenged.<br />Your CMDB is Not Your Asset Repository<br /><br /><br />With the introduction of ITIL V3 in 2007, added emphasis was placed on managing the service life cycle of your assets. While many people view this simply as an extension of the traditional Configuration Management DataBase or CMDB, it is far from the truth. While your CMDB will contain much of what you view as your core assets, its chief focus is on the relationship of those assets to each other. Frequently it will provide little to no information when it comes to important lifecycle information, such as warranty information, capacity or utilization, and cost. A solid asset repository, however, can serve as an excellent basis for developing and maintaining your CMDB.<br />Why maintaining a Comprehensive ITIL is Important<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIE46hzL9JifdqOkcM1zTYW9E4j9extPmf0F2PVKJjSXQbqy_6z32qE42MknpKu4DPFFUY2z8ktfw8OdK6YKl9sf0NkEdYI7ScN8fBAynjdltJdVL-2DgWYtTxkEOcWThmBMTzraG-HCuH/s1600/Importance+Management+Infrastruktur+In+Technology.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="142" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIE46hzL9JifdqOkcM1zTYW9E4j9extPmf0F2PVKJjSXQbqy_6z32qE42MknpKu4DPFFUY2z8ktfw8OdK6YKl9sf0NkEdYI7ScN8fBAynjdltJdVL-2DgWYtTxkEOcWThmBMTzraG-HCuH/s320/Importance+Management+Infrastruktur+In+Technology.jpg" width="320" /></a>The service lifecycle of your assets play an important role in nearly all of your ITIL processes. Be it effectively managing the number of licenses for various products, determining what actions your service desk needs to take based on the warranty status or location of a device, or considering the most positive course of action as part of your change management process, a detailed understanding of your asset is necessary to realize true efficiency and value from it.<br />Linking IT Asset Management to ITIL<br /><br />Linking your IT Asset Management practice to your ITIL practices will help your organization get the most out of its resources, and reduce waste. While developing a mature ITAM strategy can be a challenge, the rewards of it can quickly pay off in both labor and expenditure.<br /><br />Over my next several posts we will look at various tools available to help you on the road to effective IT Asset Management.

I was at my fittest in 2012 because i had more time to focus on my fitness goals but now, i'm doing my A levels and juggling a whole load of things! Back in summer, i was a lot more toned and fit because i had more time...now? well as you can see, my abs aren't quite as toned and i've put on a bit of weight. I'm still working out and eating right, but certainly not to the level i was in summer. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So you could very much say, i've fallen off track! but i'm completely fine with this because i know within a few weeks i will be back on track if not better than i was before. I know i always bounce back, better than i was before...<b>Its not about how you fail, it's about how you pick yourself up from that failure and become stronger! </b></span></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Though you can't stay on track all the time, there are certain precautions you can put in place so that you stay on track for as long as possible: </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Tip #1 - Always have a rest day.</b><br />You can't expect yourself to workout 7 days a week and actually its rather dangerous for your body. Give yourself a rest day or two a week, your body needs this time to recover. If you overwork yourself, either your body will let you down or your mind will. Let them rest! </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Tip #2 - Treat yourself. </b><br />Ooooooh this is my favourite tip! eating healthy is so important and i honestly enjoy eating healthy and clean but as well as looking after your body, you need to look after your soul! and if your soul wants some chocolate once in a while, then give it some! your progress will not be ruined, <b>its just all about moderation. </b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Tip #3 - Live YOUR healthy lifestyle.</b><br />Everyone is different. You can't expect yourself to have a training program and meal plan like Usain Bolt or Jessica Ennis! work to your ability and what works with YOUR life. Don't feel pressured to change or be someone you're not. For me, i constantly feel pressure to go Vegan or to hit the gym instead of the outdoor running and home workouts i love. But for now...those things just wouldn't make me happy, neither would they fit in with my lifestyle. If you've gone from no working out to even just 2 workouts a week, that's great for YOU. As long as you're healthier and happier than you were before...you're doing great.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Tip #4 - Keep things exciting and challenge yourself.</b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Don't stick to the same old routine and same old meals. Change things up every few weeks. Its very easy to get bored with your workouts and meals which can lead to going off track. Changing things up keeps things exciting! I remember when i first started my weight loss journey i was SO excited! To keep that excitement alive, i constantly changed my workouts and tried new healthy recipes. <b>A healthy lifestyle is like a relationship, to keep that love alive you've got to keep things fresh and new!</b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Tip #5 - Have Goals/dreams/aspirations...you get it. </b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">When i feel myself slipping, i always remind myself of where i want to be and who i want to be. This always gives me the kick up my bum i need! hahaa. If i'm not chasing my dreams, then i'm just dreaming. You have to get up and WORK for what you want. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So, those are just my thoughts on staying on track. As i type this, my abs are on fire from my morning ab workout and already i'm feeling motivated. If you have any tips of your own, feel free to comment them below! </span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Stay healthy</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">x</span></div>

Batman and Wonder Woman in the Next Man of Steel? Is This the Justice League Movie?

A Boy's Life With Cerebral Palsy, Revealed in Tumblr 'Aaronverse' - NYTimes.com

2:54 AM Tukiyooo 0

Hidden in Tumblr's bottomless trove of illustrated quotations, posts debunking falsely attributed illustrated quotations, pornography and obsessively composed photos of huckleberry muffins, is a blog written by a twelve-year-old from the Bronx named Aaron Philip.<br /><br><br /><br>The earnest voice of his Tumblr blog, Aaronverse, caught the attention of Tumblr's 27-year-old chief executive, David Karp. In June, Mr. Karp met with the young blogger at the company's office in the Flatiron district for an hour and a half, to talk about his blog and his life with cerebral palsy.<br /><br><br /><br>As the meeting drew to a close, Mr. Karp clicked through Aaron's Tumblr site and asked, "Do you like public speaking?"<br /><br><br /><br>Aaron answered, "No, not really." At school, being on stage had been humiliating for him. "One time, during a class dance performance at school, we went over, 'Make sure, at the end of the dance, Aaron gets wheeled with you guys offstage.' The teacher went over that again and again. But the dance performance ended. No one wheeled me off. I got left on stage," he said.<br /><br><br /><br>Mr. Karp said he was very sorry to hear that. He then invited the boy to address his entire staff, on Tuesday. Despite his past embarrassment, Aaron thanked him and said yes. Mr. Karp did not respond to a request for an interview and a spokeswoman did not provide any information regarding how and why he had been drawn to Aaron's blog.<br /><br><br /><br>Aaron's family lives in subsidized housing in the Bronx, but their relative poverty is a recent development. "I was born 12 years ago, a premature 7-month baby on the beautiful island of Antigua. I was so tiny, that my parents had to cut newborn pampers in half just to fit me," he wrote in an email. "Wow, I was an ant."<br /><br><br /><br>In Antigua, his father was a customs officer and his mother worked for a utility company. When Aaron was a toddler, his cerebral palsy emerged. "His left side was already folded in. His neck was down to his left shoulder and his leg was pulled in," said Lydia Philip, his mother.<br /><br><br /><br>Antigua provided only limited care for children with cerebral palsy. When Aaron was 3, the family decided to seek more extensive medical care for him and so split up, with he and his mother emigrating to New York and leaving behind his father and healthy little brother, Aren. But after Aaron's mother used up her six-month leave of absence from work, she returned to Antigua, switching places with Aaron's father, Petrone Philip.<br /><br><br /><br>Aaron and his father moved into a homeless shelter in Manhattan in 2010, where they lived until they were able to move to their Bronx home last year. Aren then joined his father and brother in the new apartment. His father works in a school cafeteria and recently earned his American citizenship.<br /><br><br /><br>"My family are like a group of candles lighting a room. There are only three candles in the room, which light up the room partially," Aaron said. "In order to fully illuminate the room, we need a fourth candle. That fourth candle is my mother."<br /><br><br /><br>Despite his father's diminished income, Aaron has been able to get the treatment he needs: A double-hip surgery was paid for by state-subsidized insurance, and at his school, Public School 333, he is assisted by a paraprofessional and an occupational therapist, Debra Fisher, who has been working with him for the last seven years.<br /><br><br /><br>Ms. Fisher first met the boy as a kindergartner. On their first excursion out of the school, she escorted him as he rode in his electric wheelchair along a sidewalk on the Upper West Side. He blurted out, "Refinance. Bikini Bootcamp." She feared that in addition to his physical disability, he might be mentally disabled. "Easy money, easy money," his deadpanned, looking straight ahead. It took her a minute to understand: he was reading the surrounding shop signs aloud. Though just starting kindergarten, he had already taught himself to read on his Leapster, an educational tablet.<br /><br><br /><br>I first met Aaron earlier this year, on his final day of sixth grade. It was a clear June day. We were in the Blue Sky Room, a therapy space in his school where he develops his motor skills three times a week. It resembles a compact gymnasium crowded with thick mats, pull up rings, and big inflatable balls. Ms. Fisher works with him on grasping, raking, and releasing small objects, training his muscles to function so that he can hold a pencil to write and draw like other students.<br /><br><br /><br>He types with just one finger, swooshing it from key to key to compose Aaronverse, which mixes childish enthusiasm with candor and the metaphors he is constantly inventing. "When I read, the biggest moment pops up like a hologram in the sky, and I have a locker in my head, and I lock that image up," he said. As he spoke, his small elbow got trapped in the space between his lap desk and his wheelchair; Ms. Fisher removed it. "When I'm done, I just want to lie there for days to recover. I'm exhausted. And then my brain has to return to my body," he said.<br /><br><br /><br>In the living room of Aaron's home, Skype, the Internet videoconferencing service, is perpetually on, revealing the family's home in Antigua with the ramps and widened doors that were built to accommodate Aaron's wheelchair. "On the western side of our house there is a beautiful view of the Caribbean Sea," Aaron's father said, of the house he hasn't entered in seven years. "It's a small inlet with a mangrove swamp. The most beautiful."<br /><br><br /><br>His mother walks through the home, on-screen and off. She steps out of view to prepare a meal and do the laundry. She comes back into the picture to help her two sons with their homework. For Aaron, the Skype connection is not enough. "I wish that I was sleeping peacefully,'' he wrote in an email. "I hear my bedroom window collapse into crystals. I look around abruptly, until I see feathers on the ground. Then, I look up. It's a lady with wings. It's not just a lady. It's my mother. She flew from Antigua. She shows me her visa. I automatically know that the pain and suffering is gone."<br /><br><br /><br>On Monday, Aaron, now a seventh grader at Public School 333, was back in school, preparing his remarks on life with cerebral palsy and creating art about disability, despite his disability, for the coders and designers of the website he shares his stories on.<br /><br><br /><br><a href="http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/10/28/a-boys-life-with-cerebral-palsy-revealed-in-tumblr-aaronverse/?src=recg">http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/10/28/a-boys-life-with-cerebral-palsy-revealed-in-tumblr-aaronverse/?src=recg</a> <br /><br><br /><br>Aaronverse:<br /><br><br /><br>Hi there! I'm Aaron, and I have a disability called cerebral palsy. In this blog, I'm writing about my life due to my disability, and how it makes things different for me. I also post drawings, Frederator things, Pusheen stuff, Adventure Time and anything interesting to me. <br /><br><br /><br>THIS ABILITY IS NOT A DISABILITY.<br /><br><br /><br><a href="http://aaronverse.tumblr.com">http://aaronverse.tumblr.com</a>

Dr. Wang Yu stated:<br /><br /> “Some recipients experience sudden swelling of the organs, which can be cured with timely treatment. Some, however, develop epilepsy. Others suffer irreversible damage to their bodies, an effect referred to as vaccine sequelae.” <br /><br />In other words, vaccines can cause irreversible damage to a child’s body and brain as a secondary consequence of the vaccination. Despite this amazing turn of events, it appears that this story has been passed by, largely unnoticed.'<br /> </span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Read <a href="http://vactruth.com/2013/11/01/children-paralyzed-by-vaccines/">more... </a></span>
