FREMONT, CA — June 13, 2017 — Dataguise, a leader in data-centric audit and protection (DCAP), today announced that the company is a Bronze sponsor of the 2017 DataWorks Summit, taking place June 13-15 in San Jose. With less than a year before the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) comes into force for organizations conducting business with residents of the European Union (EU), Dataguise experts will be on hand to engage and advise event attendees on the direct actions necessary to discover, protect, audit, and monitor personal data in Hadoop and other data repositories in order to comply with the mandate’s data privacy requirements.
The DataWorks Summit is the industry’s premier big data community event, providing those attending the conference with the opportunity to learn from peers and industry experts on how open source technologies enable organizations to leverage corporate data, on premises and in the cloud, to drive predictive analytics, distributed deep-learning, and artificial intelligence initiatives. Dataguise plays a key role in this mission by providing organizations with the ability to fully utilize corporate data without the risk of exposing sensitive information contained in Hadoop and other data repositories on-premises and in the cloud.
During the event, Dataguise will showcase DgSecure, the company’s flagship data-centric audit and protection solution that delivers a single view of sensitive data security, policies, access, and trends for risk and compliance management—all from a single dashboard. Recent enhancements to the platform include: sensitive data monitoring for MapR, Oracle Database, and Teradata; Cloudera Navigation for Hive; structured encryption and decryption for European languages; and an enhanced REST API for multi-cloud service interoperability.
DgSecure supports IT, business, and legal professionals concerned with data privacy regulations currently on the books or that will see implementation over the next year. The software locates all sensitive data across distributed business environments and provides encryption, masking, auditing and monitoring to support Hadoop distributions and other data in structured, unstructured, or semi-structured repositories. This is especially relevant to organizations with citizen data from the European Union (EU), which will soon be subject to the Supervisory Authorities (SAs) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) who may impose fines of up to 2% of total global revenue or €10M (whichever is greater) for initial violations of non-compliance.

In need of a job and having a fondness for cheese, wine and pétanque, and knowing the difference between gauche et droite, and seeing the sad, pleading, almost tearful look of Président Macron as he begged for American scientists to save France, I knew what my duty was.
I applied to Make Our Planet Great Again.
The call is an extraordinary one. Président Macron was unhappy that President Trump withdrew from the Paris thingeemabob. So he put out the call for American scientists to emigrate.
And he put it out in English!
This may be the most astonishing event in modern diplomatic history. Not the plan to spend government money on an impossible task. That happens daily. No. A sitting French president asked Americans in English to come and show France a better way!
I was so overcome by emotion, that I ran to the site and answered the series of preparatory questions, which you can see below.
I was told I would hear back within a few weeks. Undoubtedly, Macron himself will swoon when he sees my words. Thus I am announcing now that I will be moving to France.
Join the la résistance! Fight the nasty climate invaders! Let’s stop forever the climate from changing!
I hereby propose Emmanuel Macron as the leading actor for a reenactment of the 1980’s “Allo Allo” BBC show.
Le crayon est sur le bureau!
Ninety-nine years ago my grandfather went to France to save it and the world from the Bosch hordes in WWI. May you have as much success as he had. He came back alive.
Well, this is a great way to get rid of Bill Nye, isn’t it? And why haven’t all these “climate scientists” threatened to leave the planet if the climate doesn’t stop changing??
This is sort of like when Kenji joined the Union of Concerned Scientists. It makes me smile.
I think Macron was speaking to Elon Musk rather than normal people.
It’s a shame. Mostly because I wish this sort of call would come if France ever actually wanted to be French again. Do you have French ancestors? Come to France and try to fit in. Certainly your children will fit in and not blow things up like these idiots from the Middle East.
You should have mentioned your staunch campaign to fight the spread of dihydrogen monoxide. France is the leader in this.
@Gary, one of my grandfathers did the same thing with the same result. He never did talk about combat. He’d talk about many things, sometimes in soldier French, but never a word about combat. Though the grandmother, the wife of said grandfather and mother of my mother never spoke French to my knowledge, she’d tell him to quit cursing in French. Only later did I realize she’d been very much correct.
There is a question which nobody is asking, perhaps the French will solve it; How many lightbulbs does it take to change a climate?
It depends on if they are LED correctly.
HMmmm… You can lead a horse to water, but a lightbulb must be LED.
Oppose, I meant this French cheese.
Not to pull rank on you, but I have been a Jr. Fire Marshall for years, recognized by the U.S.Fire Administrator. I assume I can help as well.

And but overwhelming nuclear superiority did serve its final function within the chilly struggle. whilst American important pursuits have been threatened—over Berlin and Cuba—the Soviets sponsored down from war of words. regardless of error in strategic judgment attributable to worry of Communist enlargement, and occasionally outright incompetence, the ace within the gap proved decisive.

As Ambassador-at-Large Philip C. N. and American military power that he decided to draw the line in Korea. He remembered only too well how the British and French had appeased Hitler in the 1930s with territory, population, and resources until Nazi power could not be destroyed without a world war. S. defense perimeter. S. in the awkward position of having to expend significant resources and lives to defend worthless ground. With the Chinese Communists poised to intervene with massive armies, this strategic folly would soon be exposed and the President faced with a second decision whether to counter Asian fanaticism with American atomic strength.
An ill-prepared battalion called Task Force Smith fought a gallant but calamitous rearguard action to slow North Korean forces and was driven back into a perimeter around Pusan with the rest of the 24th Infantry Division as well as the 25th. The North Koreans were so certain of victory that they shot captured American prisoners in the back of the head. After General Walton H. N. S. Walker had about 100,000 troops by early August, including 45,000 South Koreans. Meanwhile in Tokyo, MacArthur drew up plans for what would become the Inchon landing near the South Korean capital of Seoul.
S. and Britain had always been partners in the development of atomic power and that he would not consider use of the atomic bomb without consulting Attlee. Delighted, the Prime Minister asked Truman to put those words on paper, but the President insisted that if a man's word was no good, it would not be any better in writing. 10 It required an awkward effort to put the consultation genie back in the bottle. At noon on December 8, 1950, Acheson and Lovett (now Marshall's Deputy Secretary of Defense) got Truman out of a meeting with Attlee to go over the history of Anglo-American atomic bomb discussions. | 2019-04-23T22:48:53 | https://outletconstrucao.com/lib/ace-in-the-hole-why-the-united-states-did-not-use-nuclear-weapons-in-the-cold |
Ok, it's not wine, but we found a really cool brewery between Fossano and Cuneo in Piedmont. We were driving to Cuneo to pick up our new "Permesso di Soggiorni" and saw the brewery. On the way home we stopped to check it out. What we found was two brothers, one in the bar/dining room and one in the kitchen and great artisanal beer and food!
After spying on the food coming out of the kitchen (which everything looked yummy) we decided to order a hamburger. To date, we haven't found too many good burgers here and we were very skeptical. What we found was one of the best burgers we have eaten in Italy or America. We started chatting with the owners and found out all the meat is very high end "Piemontese" beef from La Granda in Savigliano CN. The other items on the menu include antipasti of artisanal cheese and salumi, salads, steaks and french fries.
On the chalkboard was advertising for a single malt scotch tasting in April. If you live nearby or traveling through the neighborhood, we definitely recommend this place.

Catherine Ho Jan. 21, 2019 Updated: Jan. 21, 2019 3:51 p.m.
Veteran newspaperman Charles Cooper, a former editor at the San Francisco Examiner and the Daily Review in Hayward, died Saturday at age 76.
Cooper, known as “Coop,” died from complications after heart surgery, his wife, Mercedes, told the Star-Ledger in Newark, N.J., where Cooper was managing editor before retiring in 2009.
Born in 1943 in Stafford, Kan., Cooper grew up in Midland, Texas, and retained many qualities of “a Texas kid,” said Peter Bhatia, a longtime friend and colleague of Cooper and the editor of the Detroit Free Press. In the newsroom, Cooper was an understated but deft and incisive editor who needed to do little more than arch an eyebrow or peer at you over his glasses to telegraph his displeasure, said Bhatia, who worked with Cooper at the Examiner and the Dallas Times Herald.
“He was kind of the epitome of the Texas stereotype — tall, talked calmly, never raised his voice, but was such a great person to work with and an unbelievably talented journalist,” Bhatia said.
Cooper served in the U.S. Army and met his wife while stationed in Germany, Bhatia said.
Cooper was sports editor at the Examiner during the heyday of the San Francisco 49ers, under head coach Bill Walsh and quarterback Joe Montana, and he oversaw Super Bowl coverage. As an editor in Dallas, Cooper helped shepherd reporting projects that exposed the impact of heroin and other drugs “before it was commonplace and got the attention it gets today,” Bhatia said.
Cooper was a generous friend, an avid golfer and steadfast fan of the 49ers even after moving east, said Pete Wevurski, who had been friends with Cooper for more than 30 years and worked with him in newsrooms in the East Bay and New Jersey.
Cooper spoke sparingly but when he did, everyone listened, said Terry Winckler, a longtime friend who worked with Cooper at the Daily Review. He saw beyond the obvious — in stories and in people.
“He’s one of those special people who is able to embrace everybody else’s foibles, conflicts, aberrations, and see through to your heart and to the heart of the matter,” Winckler said. “He helped me see people who I had conflicts with in a different way. He also helped others see me in a different way.

Photo of this year's Commencement speaker and Mills alumna Beate Sirota Gordon.
According to Gordon, she has adopted certain Japanese ways of living, such as bowing her head in conversation, from the time she spent there as a child, just before she came to Mills College in 1935 at the tender age of 15. It was at Mills, she said, that she gained the feminist education that helped her draft Articles 14 and 24 of the Japanese constitution, which legally guaranteed the rights of Japanese women, when she was 22 years old.
Because of her love of Mills and women’s education, Gordon has agreed to speak at this year’s Commencement ceremony.
Article 14 of the Japanese constitution deems all people equal under law, including both sexes, and outlaws discrimination. Article 24 requires marriage to be consensual between both sexes and states that husband and wife should receive the same rights.
Mary-Ann Milford, an art history professor at Mills, thinks Gordon’s experience in another country was instrumental to her ability to advocate equal rights in 1946, long before the feminist movement of the ‘60s and ‘70s.
Milford believes that Gordon’s experiences abroad combined with her education at Mills, including the influence of then president Aurelia Reinhardt, helped shape Gordon’s world view.
Gordon does, in fact, attribute some of her inspiration to Reinhardt.
After World War II ended and she graduated from Mills, Gordon took it upon herself to facilitate cultural exchange projects in hopes that Americans would start to see fewer differences and more similarities between other culture of the world.
Gordon began her search for arts to bring to the United States by traveling to almost every country in Asia, looking far and wide for whatever art she deemed communicative. The first troupe she invited to tour the U.S. practiced kyojin, a series of short plays Gordon describes as easily understood and perfect for tourists.
Gordon would invite the audience to come early so that they could see the performers prepare beforehand.
As Gordon is invigorated by Mills, the students of the College are equally inspired by Gordon. According to Renee Jadushlever, Vice President of Operations, the senior class suggested that Gordon speak at this year’s Commencement.
According to President Janet Holmgren, Gordon spoke at the 1991 Commencement, which Holmgren was unable to attend as she was not yet the head of the college.
Milford believes that Gordon is a great example for the Mills community.
Milford hopes that those who attend Commencement and hear Gordon speak will be able to draw from Gordon’s inner strength and be inspired.
Mills Commencement ceremony will begin on Toyon Meadow at 9:45 a.m.
The Commencement address will precede the conferring of degrees and awarding of honorary degrees. | 2019-04-23T03:54:30 | http://www.thecampanil.com/commencement-speaker-profile/ |

If you organize your work, you will have more free time for yourself!
A student’s life can be busy. When you are attending classes every day, doing your homework, keeping up with your assigned reading, and studying for tests, life can get overwhelming. If you add on top of that your family or home responsibilities, there’s almost no time left in the day.
One way to help carve out some more time in your day is to get more organized. Try these tips for using your time efficiently, and see if you end up with a few extra minutes to yourself. It will be worth it!
Many people are more productive in the morning than the evening. In the morning, there tend to be fewer distractions. Try to wake up a half hour or a full hour earlier than you need to. During this time, you can organize what you need for the day, check your to-do list, eat a healthy breakfast, and maybe even fit in your exercise. This way you will start the day with a clear head.
Folders are an excellent way to get organized. Create a folder for each of your classes. Make sure you create paper folders, email folders, browser bookmark folders, folders on your laptop, and anywhere else where you store school information. Be sure to put papers and electronic documents in the proper folders. This will save you a good deal of time, because you will always know where things are.
Are you the type of person who creates a to-do list on the back of an envelope and then loses it? One way to keep your to-do list at your fingertips is to find an online app. Try Evernote, Any.do, Wunderlist, or Todoist. These apps are designed to make it easy to follow your list. Make sure you keep your to-do list updated, and be sure to check your list every day!
Online calendars are great for planning out longer-range projects that may not go on your to-do list. At the beginning of your semester, look at your syllabus and mark in any major tests and due dates. Use the reminder feature to give yourself advance warning of these dates, so that you have time to prepare. Google Calendar is one possibility, and you can even get apps that will sync with your calendar, such as Any.do and Sunrise.
We live in an age of constant distractions. Pings, tweets, selfies, news feeds, texts, and social media are all recent phenomena that have changed the way we work and the way we socialize. To be more productive, however, it’s a good idea to turn off these distractions. When it’s time to do your homework or time to study for a test, make sure you turn off your devices. Give yourself a good solid block of time with no distractions, and you will see how much more efficiently you get your work done.
Tip 6: Work before play! It’s a hard lesson to learn, but it’s always better to get your work done before you relax. Don’t fall into the trap of procrastinating. For example, finish your homework before you turn on the TV. This way you can get your work out of the way and enjoy your evening more.
With these six tips, we hope you can take a more organized approach to your school work. These are great habits to adopt while you are a student and take with you into your life and career.

The Missouri Botanical Garden has transformed an area of turf adjacent to the Lehmann Building into a space of wonder. Hundreds of thousands of flowering bulbs carpet the lawn in a succession of bloom from late winter well into fall, starting with dwarf iris and spring crocus, and ending with fall crocus (Colchicum spp.). Turf has never been that interesting to me but this technique was so transformative, I was encouraged to try it in my jungle this fall…though to a much smaller scale. To naturalize bulbs in my selected turf area, I started with late-winter bloomers to hopefully give foliage enough time to "ripen" completely next spring before the lawn needs mowing. I borrow the word "ripen" to mean that the leaves will have enough time to sufficiently feed the bulb before being fully or partially mowed off. I randomly planted early crocus, three dwarf iris cultivars (Iris reticulata) and striped squill (Puschkinia libanotica). Some I planted in groups of various sizes (2-5) and others I planted singly to give a more naturalized appearance. If all goes well next spring, I may consider adding some winter aconite (Eranthus spp.), glory-on-the-snow (Chionodoxa spp.), snowdrops (Galanthus spp.), Siberian squill (Scilla siberica) or mini daffodils like 'February Gold' next fall.
Bulbs usually come with instructions on how many should be planted per square foot for bed planting. But what if you like circles of colors rather than squares? A square foot is equivalent to 144 square inches (12" x 12"). Then calculate what the diameter of a circle whose same area is 144 square inches. Using the area of a circle formula (A=πr2), we find a circle with the interior diameter of 13.54" equals 144 square inches. You can now make a simple template out of a cardboard box regardless of whether you like squares or circles, while still maintain the proper density regardless of how big of bed you are planting!
Rodents can be serious pests following bulb planting, especially to small bulbs which are not planted deeply. Just in a short period of time, scavenging rodents, most especially squirrels and chipmunks, can dig up all your hard work. Edible bulbs either mysteriously disappear or little bits are left behind on the surface to signal their destruction, while the inedible ones are usually just left scattered on the surface. For this reason, inspect planting sites the next several days after planting to insure that any uprooted bulbs get replanted and any obviously eaten ones are noted for the next bulb order. From experience, any noticeable disturbance in the soil attracts rodents to scavenge, so effort should be made to conceal signs of digging. To reduce scavenging, always plant bulbs to their maximum depth using soil to firmly refill the hole rather than mulch, just to make it less attractive. Camouflage the disturbed area with leaf or bark mulch, followed by watering just enough to settle the planting area surface. In some cases, wire mesh over the planting area may be warranted until the soil settles and removed before foliage emerges in the spring. Where moles are an issue, some bulbs can be underlain with wire mesh to protect them from underground feasting. Incidentally, my dog shows the same behavior with disturbed soil. Anytime I do a poor job of camouflaging a newly planted "anything", she digs it up enthusiastically as if spying a rodent in its burrow. Out of thousands of plants, she can immediately find and harass anything newly planted.
It is pretty obvious that brown marmorated stink bugs (BMSB) are now congregating and looking for winter lodgings. While I was planting bulbs the last day of September, various layers of clothing including a sweatshirt, gloves, hat and apron came on and off throughout the day. When off, they were draped over one of the patio chairs and in just a matter of moments, several BMSB found their way into the nooks and crannies and had to be shaken out before redonning. Out of curiosity, I opened the umbrella we keep on the patio for taking the dog out when it's raining, only to find it totally infested with BMSB. By the time I had removed them all, I had to go inside for a breath of fresh air. I'm pretty sure one came in with me! | 2019-04-21T14:23:47 | https://web.extension.illinois.edu/mms/eb415/entry_13692/ |

Did you know that the first thing users look at on a website is words, not graphics?
With all the fuss about content these days and the endless methods of optimizing it, you’d think that more marketers would be asking the most basic and important question: just how easy is this to read?
Digital legibility is its own skillset, one with its own rules (and occasions for breaking them). Do the math: the importance of content and Google’s emphasis on searcher satisfaction means that optimizing copy has never been more important. Little UX tweaks that improve ease and functionality can lend your content real staying power.
What’s different about digital readability?
Optimizing digital copy is a combination of remembering evergreen aspects of great writing—be organized, varied, compelling—with adjustments for the digital context. To understand what alterations we make for web content, let’s first consider an overview of what exactly is unique about writing for the web.
Brevity: users don’t stay long—leaving a page, on average, in less than a minute.
Navigation: users are constantly and unpredictably moving; they scroll, skip from link to link, open other browsers, hover text pops up, and so on.
Variability: responsive layouts, different devices and browsers make static and uniform copy a thing of the past.
So how do you apply these to your writing? Let’s look at this from two different vantages: the digital writing overall, then we’ll drill down to the digital paragraph.
You may recall various writing teachers insisting you write an introductory paragraph. It’s still true that for web writing, to a point. It’s good to orient your readers to your topic and tell them what’s at stake, but you also need to frontload your content.
This is, of course, related to the brevity issue: put your essential, riveting point as close to the beginning as possible to keep your reader from bouncing.
Jakob Nielsen, a usability expert, connects our internet behavior to our primal instincts: online, we hunt for facts. We assess a site quickly, looking for an information scent. If you don’t make that your point easily accessible, you’re likely to lose your reader to a more enticing trail.
Use headers, too: not only do they help give your keywords weight when the page is crawled, but they draw users’ eyes as well. It’s one of the first things readers look at on a page.
You do want to create texture and visual anchors on your page (more on that below), but you don’t want to make your content overly flashy. Fancy formatting and fonts are typically ignored.
Don’t overcomplicate your layout, either. Those of us who grew up finessing our documents on Word may be tempted to add extra spaces to make sure we don’t have a single word at the top of a page, and so on.
But the fact is that the final look of digital copy is so variable—think responsive design and the different shapes and sizes of devices—that your layout must be fairly simple and adaptable, since you’ll never be able to see the full range of finished looks.
Zooming in a bit closer, we have the digital paragraph to consider. You may remember from your classroom days that paragraphs are composed of related sentences, and were to be unified, coherent, and adequately developed. Where digital paragraphs get away from that is development; on the web, it’s better to keep it short.
As you can see, the paragraphs in this example are quite short, even as simple as a single sentence. The sentence that is isolated in its own paragraph is given extra weight and space. In this case, it summarizes what readers should expect out of the article. And links, by the way, give your text more authority…enticing readers to stay on your page.
This isn’t to say that you should dilute all your paragraphs down to single sentences, because contrast is part of what lends this trick its power. However, there’s a reason that list articles do so well on the web: people are looking for content that is very accessible and organized.
Bolding, italics, coloring, quote graphics, bullets, and more…all these elements help give your page visual texture. This formatting helps draw attention and add another layer of order and accessibility. Still, don’t overdo it—too much noise will send your reader away.
However, don’t abandon your weightier, information-rich content either. Although the most common attention span on the web is that of a Labrador, we know that meaty, highly-developed content is of great value as well. Both Google and your customers will be looking for that, too.

The Del Mar Certified Farmers Market has been organized to benefit the growers and consumers. It allows growers to sell directly to the public and gives consumers an opportunity to buy fresh quality produce.
All rules and regulations pertaining to the operation of this certified farmers market shall be implemented and enforced in a fair and equitable manner.
1. All sellers of certifiable produce must be certified by the county in which the goods are grown. The certificate issued under the authority of Title 3, Chapter 3, Article 6.5 of the California Administrative Code. It authorizes the certified producer to sell produce directly to consumers. Items that can be sold in the designated Certified Farmers’ Market are any agricultural product certified by the California Department of Food and Agriculture or the Federal Department of Agriculture.
2. The producer is defined as a person or separate entity that produces agricultural products by practice of the agricultural arts upon land which the person or separate entity controls. In addition, a family member or salaried employee can sell for a producer.
3. Anybody found to be in non-compliance with the Department of Food and Agriculture and incurring any fine by them will be responsible for paying the fine, and will be suspended from the market one day for the second occurrence and permanently removed for the third.
4. Any certified producer may sell the items of one or two other certified producers if the selling producer carries and displays at the market the certificates of the other grower(s) and they have to be cross-referred. The certified producer’s product must exceed by weight, volume, and price the other producer’s goods. In addition, all items sold need to be listed in the certificate. Products must be kept separately.
5. Prices must be clearly posted. Collusion among growers to raise prices or exertion of any influence, pressure, or persuasion to cause a grower to increase prices is strictly forbidden.
6. All vendors of taxable items are required to show proof of registration with the State Board of Equalization and are independently responsible to collect and account for sales tax.
7. All commodities sold must meet the requirements of California Food and Agricultural Codes. Only quality produce may be sold or displayed. The Manager is authorized to have poor quality produce pulled from a display and sale.
8. Food vendors are to have all the necessary certificates from the Department of Health. All certificates must be displayed for the market manager and other producers, vendors and the public to inspect throughout each market day. If upon an inspection, the market is fined by the Dept. of Health for non-compliance, the vendor will be responsible to pay the fine.
10. All Certified Producers and Food Vendors are required to submit a legible copy of their certificates and permits to the Market Manager prior to selling in the market and when requested to do so thereafter.
11. Fee slips and load lists of all products sold at the Market will be turned in at the end of each market day. It is the responsibility of the producer or his/her representative to fill in the load list accurately and completely with the date, the name of the business or person listed on the certificate, total sales, and all applicable fees. In addition, all certified growers need to identify as listed on the certified producer’s certificate each item with the quantity sold on the load list. Failure to do so will result in a one-day suspension on the first offense, two days for the second and removal from participation on the third offense.
Services: to be determined by the Board and Market Manager.
Pre-sale business or any special orders on market days are to be included in the gross sales of the day. Any vendor not complying with this rule will be immediately asked to leave the market.
13. Drive in – Unload – Parking. Most of the vendors are allowed to drive in and unload. You should unload only and set up display AFTER moving your vehicle. Vendor Parking is in the Parking Garage towards the back. Leave the spaces closer to the market entrance for your customers. Vendors positioned on the upper Plaza unload from their car temporarily parked along Camino Del Mar and subsequently move their vehicle to the back of the Parking Garage as well.
14. All items to be sold by produce vendors must be placed at least 6 inches off the ground.
15. Sellers may lose the privilege of selling at the market for unsafe vehicles, tables, signs, racks, and other display aids. All items must be secured, and must not obstruct traffic flow, and care must be taken when setting up and breaking down so that the safety of shoppers and other market participants are not jeopardized.
16. All produce vendors must have a banner/signage representing the name of the farm and the county where the produce is grown. The sign must say “We Grow What We Sell” and be displayed during market hours.
17. Organic products may be advertised as such only if they have been certified by the appropriate regulatory agency and must also be listed on the certificate.
18. Vendors must maintain the space assigned them in a clean and sanitary condition including protecting the pavement with a tarp from drips from any highly staining items, such as oil, cooked foods, berries, etc. All vendors must have a trash receptacle available for the customers. At the end of the market day, all spaces must be cleared of any equipment, fruits, vegetables, trimmings, containers, etc. and swept thoroughly clean. Vendors should bring their own broom and dustpan. Trash from the space must be taken home by the vendor. No dumping of ice or water, or other fluids at the venue.
Waste Management bins are for customers only – No Exceptions!
19. All growers must control their children in a proper manner and orderly fashion. They must not disturb other sellers who are conducting business unless they are hired to sell for them.
20. All closed or sealed containers and/or bags must be labeled with the content, producers name, address, and zip code.
21. Scales must be in compliance with the Dept. of Weights and Measures. Nothing can be sold by weight unless a certified scale is used. Scales must be in plain sight of the consumer.
22. Market Hours – Arrival and Departure. Sellers must arrive (1) hour prior to the published opening time and leave within (1) hour after the published closing time of the market. The breakdown of vendor area and loading of the vehicle is not allowed before 4:00pm. Whenever a vendor does not adhere to market arrival and departure times, the manager may revoke the vendor’s stall space reservation for 2 weeks. The second suspension will be for a period of sixty (60) days commencing upon the effective date of the Notice of Suspension.
23. If a participating producer chooses to bring a new item to sell that has not been sold previously, the producer must notify the market manager prior to selling and provide an updated certificate if applicable.
24. Out of courtesy to other vendors and customers, a vendor must notify/text the Market Manager, Fabian Huertas (760 453-9837) at least 48 hours in advance (Thursday before 1:00 pm) if the vendor is unable to attend the market. The vendor will need to pay the minimum fee for that missed day. If no notice is given at least 48 hours in advance there will be a charge of $25 per market missed. If you cannot attend due to an emergency the day of the market, you must notify/text the Market Manager to inform him and you will need to pay the minimum fee for that missed day. No shows may be permanently banned from the market.
(1) An oral warning from the market manager.
(2) Written notice by certified mail of the violation within a week of the date of the incident, detailing the violation and the consequences of said violation.
(3) Market suspension for a period of time, up to 18 months.
Participation in this market means I have read the above rules and I Agree to abide by them. All my certificates are current and comply with all government entities needed to be a participant. | 2019-04-24T10:52:10 | https://delmarfarmersmarket.org/vendors/rules-and-regulations/ |
So far we have covered the creative process involved in film making and blogging. Today we return behind the camera and explore the creative process behind photography.
Gill Prince is a freelance Milton Keynes based landscape, urban and travel photographer and just recently had her first book published – Unexpected:MK. The MK50 photography book, which was published in back in December 2016 as part of Milton Keynes’ 50th Birthday celebrations has been warmly received by consumers and critics alike.
We caught up with Gill a few days ago to discuss her creative process when it comes to photography and how she approaches commercial projects.
There are both practical and creative aspects to this part of the process. Firstly you need to understand how the images will be used, so you can make sure they are correct from a technical perspective, so are they just going to be used on social media or will they end up on a huge billboard poster?! Beyond that it’s about the style of the finished items and the audience they are aimed at. So, depending for example on whether the images are going into a consumer publication, or on a business website and so on, as the style of both the photography and the image processing may need to be totally different.
When taking photographs for a client, the creative decisions you make are very much based on what they need for a specific commercial purpose. So as an individual, you don’t always get the same freedom as you would when going out to take a landscape image of your own choosing, which would be framed and hung on the wall for example.
But you can of course use your experience to suggest styles, angles or approaches that you think would work best to meet a brief, given your past experience in areas of photography which provide more freedom for the photographer.
Q3. Do you draw inspiration for projects from similar creative work or from any other sources for that matter?
Absolutely. I think photographers are always looking around them at different types of imagery which we see as part of our everyday lives. Not so much the subject matter, as this varies all the time depending on the project, but certainly on the creative side of how an image looks. Different styles such as coloured filters, heavy contrast, intentional under or over exposure, mono vs colour, unusual shooting angles and so on.
There are so many different approaches you can take, even with the same image.
Once you chat to a client and find out more about the audience and what effect they want to achieve, the more you get a feel for what the right creative style will be.
One where I feel that I have done the best job I could, and one where the client is happy with the images provided. For complete satisfaction, you need both and even if the client is happy, I would only be 100% happy if I felt that I had managed to capture the best possible images on the day, given all of the other factors which are outside of my control, such as the weather for example!
Definitely, and I think this comes from my background as a copywriter, which was my ‘day job’ for many years. In that role, you have to understand the audience and the purpose of the finished item in a wider marketing context. Without that you cannot create the right message or the right tone, and photography is the same. I can see why some people may think of it as a separate entity. An image is an image and that’s it. But I don’t think we can afford to be that insular as photographers.
For example, I did a shoot recently for fashion retailer, so it was vital to understand the demographics of their audience and to get a feel for what style of imagery would most appeal to them. In this instance they had a very defined idea, which was great. But if the client was unsure, or asked for an approach which I felt was not the best one, I would definitely say something. For example suggesting we try some alternative options as well while on the shoot, so I had covered all the bases. I would then also potentially show them different image processing options before we settled on a final style.
This may sound odd, but I think the processing has the edge. I absolutely love getting out there with the camera and taking the images, and making sure I get the best out of every session. Whether it’s commercial work, landscape photography or even a street shoot. But to an extent, at that stage you’re really just capturing the ‘data’. It’s what you do with it next that really turns it into the finished creative piece.
As with most professional photographers, I shoot what they call ‘RAW’ files rather than JPGs which means the camera doesn’t do any processing internally. This gives you more data and more detail to work with, and lets you be even more creative with the finished image. And it’s those fine adjustments of shadow, highlight, colour, clarity, sharpness and so on which really bring the image to life. I’m not talking about huge changes such as stripping in a different sky, or adding a retro Instagram style filter, just making the best of every area of the image.
It’s a hugely rewarding process, but is only possible if you made a good job of capturing the data in the first place!
Q7. Photography can obviously be something that can be learned, certainly from a technical viewpoint but just how much would you say is it a natural gift?
Now this is a very interesting question. I run 1-2-1 tuitions sessions and I always say that it’s easier to teach someone if they have ‘an eye for a good picture’ as composition is harder to teach than the technical aspects of using a camera. I’m not saying the technical side is easy, and it can take quite some time before the basics of aperture, shutter speed and ISO really become second nature, but they are at least well defined ‘facts’. So it’s certainly a more structured process, with clearly defined rules to it.
With creative composition, it’s a very different thing. For example, you can teach the rule of thirds, or why negative space is important, but whether a shot looks right and ‘works’ at the end of the day is a totally separate thing.
Sometimes breaking all those rules is what makes an image really stand out and tell a story, so having that ability to know why one image works and another doesn’t is definitely a gift to an extent.
But that doesn’t mean you cannot learn those principles and when to apply them, it just takes lots of time spent out there shooting and then deciding what you like and what you don’t, and why.
Q8. What advice would you give to anyone looking to make a career in line with what you specialise in?
Photography has certainly gained a whole new lease of life since the advent of the smartphone camera, and I am often asked if I think this is a good or a bad thing. Some purists think it’s a bad thing as now ‘everyone thinks they are a photographer’ and it’s devalued the industry, but I tend to disagree. If having access to a camera all the time means that more people become interested in photography as an art form. Whether taking images or just looking at them and that has to a be a very good thing in my book.
As to advice on taking it to the next stage, I would say that it first comes down to some harsh reality. Theoretically anyone has the ability to learn how to use a camera and then set themselves up as a photographer, but actually making a living at it is hard work. As with any profession, you have to not only do it well, you also have to be a business manager, a marketing specialist, a networker, a PR whizz and everything else as well that comes with setting up and running a business.
Beyond that you also have to have many photography skills. My income comes from a mix of tuition services, commercial commissions, print sales, book sales and stock image licenses. You have to be able to turn your hand to all, or most, of these if you want to make photography your main career. But it is definitely possible so I would never want to put anyone off.
My decision to take this path came from a wonderful quote which reads ‘The meaning of happiness is to find something you love doing, and to get someone to pay you for doing it’. So if you love photography, then get out there and find a way to make that possible!

In its rich and varied cultural history, the island of Hvar is the holder of the finest Mediterranean cultural heritage and tradition. The beginnings of its culture date back to ancient times, from the Greeks, the Romans, the Illyrians to the Croats.
This wealth is expressed through all forms of art amongst which music holds a special place, as one of the forms of popular expression. Representing this rich cultural, ecclesiastical heritage of popular musical tradition, and unique in the world, Faroski kantaduri present just one part of the rich popular musical tradition of the island of Hvar.
Faroski kantaduri have saved numerous original melodies from oblivion by their continuous activities and by cherishing tradition in particular of polyphonic klapas singing. Kantaduri have cherished this musical world heritage as well as of a religious character, so we may say that they cherish those melodies created “from the altar to the tavern”. Faroski kantaduri, have been cherishing these popular and sacral melodies, performed in Croatia and in 20 countries within Europe and America as well as at leading world festivals of ancient and sacral music amongst which the performance in 2000 at the Sacred Voices Sacral Music Festival in London should certainly be selected. | 2019-04-19T20:42:41 | http://stari-grad-faros.hr/en/the-faros-cantors.aspx |

If you smoke a pot, maybe it's because this trait is buried in your genes. And these genes can also be associated with mental disorders such as schizophrenia.
These are two important conclusions from a study published this week in Nature . The researchers identified eight areas on the human genome that showed a variance in the question of whether people smoked the pot, even though these areas accounted for 11% of the variance between smokers and abstainers. Many of the genes selected were not identified in previous studies.
85,000 volunteers, five times larger than the largest study to date.
Numerous studies in the past have found a link between cannabis use and schizophrenia, although there was disagreement, if any, with the other. This latest study showed that schizophrenia can lead to smoking and not the other way around.
"This suggests that people with schizophrenia are at a higher risk of consuming cannabis," says the study on the analysis of genetic data. "Our findings suggest that individuals at risk of developing schizophrenia have prodromal symptoms or negative affects that lead them to use cannabis for coping or self-medication."
The study also found a genetic overlap with cannabis use and other traits such as smoking and alcohol consumption, schizophrenia, ADHD and risk taking, although it was not investigated whether these traits also lead to higher cannabis use.
The authors of the study warned that, despite the largest sample size, there are other nongenetic factors that determine cannabis use, such as it is legally available and if cannabis is consumed in a particular area. The study also did not differentiate between occasional and regular cannabis use. | 2019-04-21T14:44:32 | https://newsbeezer.com/23andme-data-suggest-a-connection-between-pot-use-and-schizophrenia/ |

Being able to look after people you care about is one of the key concerns in life for many people. Good life insurance will ensure that they are well cared for after you have passed away. You can find some invaluable tips here for choosing the right policy for you and your loved ones.
Figure out how much you need with life insurance, and buy the right bundle. Over-buying can needlessly cost you too much money, as under-buying can stress your family out financially if a tragedy happens. You will feel more secure if you make the right life insurance decisions.
Compare prices between numerous companies prior to getting life insurance. Different insurance providers can have prices varying in up to 50% of the cost, so be sure to comparison shop on the internet. The quotes you get for life insurance need to factor in any medical history you have.
Your best bet would be to work with a financial adviser instead of a broker in order to get the best deal possible. Most insurance brokers are motivated by the commission that they earn by selling policies. But, financial advisers get paid a set fee. This means that financial advisers will give you an honest option, and won’t be desperate to sell to you.
If you have family members that depend on you, consider obtaining a life insurance policy. In case you die, your life insurance policy will provide your family with financial stability, be it to send your children to college or helping your partner to pay your home’s mortgage.
When you shop around for life insurance, try your best to get as many quotes as possible. Life insurance companies don’t all use the same actuarial tables; they assign different relative weights to the factors they use to set a premium. If you are a smoker, there could be rather big rate differences from one company to another, so take the time to call around, and review numerous quotes before you decide to buy.
Make life insurance payments yearly instead of monthly. By choosing to pay the premium annually, you can save a bit of money.
It is important to compare and consider multiple options before you make a commitment. While many policies have similar features, some policies last longer than others. Also, two of the same policy could have similar benefits, but one could be more costly than the other. It is incredibly important to conduct a thorough research on policy options before selecting the one best for you.
You may want to exercise before you go to a life insurance medical exam. Your blood pressure may actually rise, and this can provide false readings to the doctor.
Wondering about the amount of life insurance you need? First, you need to determine whether you need life insurance. If you aren’t married and have no children, you probably don’t need life insurance. A good amount to get is somewhere between five to 10 times what your annual salary is.
Before picking the life insurance you plan on applying for, it is best to compare quotes from lots of different companies. This comparison process can be done over the phone or online quite easily. Do not offer any personal information at this time, as just basic demographics are needed. Get as many quotes as possible before you choose the best deal.
Before you begin looking at life insurance, figure out what you needs are. If you do not have a good understanding of the kind of coverage you need, you could end up spending money on an inadequate policy. Either situation could mean losing out on a good rate for an ideal policy.
Life insurance, as previously mentioned, is one of the best ways to ensure your family’s safety in the unfortunate event that you are no longer around for them. By applying the tips provided, you’ll feel much better because you’ll know you have done all you can to protect your family.
Well, nobody plans on dying, but it happens. It is important to make certain that the financial security of your loved ones is provided for after your death. Read this article to learn more about life insurance, and make the right decisions.
When trying to determine how much life insurance to buy, consider your family’s lifestyle. When a loved one is no longer in the picture, needs will vary according to each family. Ensure that the coverage you choose is enough for your family when this happens.
Use a financial adviser to purchase life insurance instead of a broker. If a broker convinces you to take out a life insurance policy, he or she will earn commission. Most financial advisers are compensated with a flat fee. For this reason, financial advisers are more highly motivated to help you find the policy you need, rather than the one that will pay the highest commission.
Make sure that you tell them about any job or hobby that could be high risk. Your premium will be higher, but if the insurance carrier figures out you didn’t disclose material facts, they may deny a claim if you croak in the course of doing a high risk job or extreme sport. Keeping this information from them can be construed as fraud, and could cause huge penalties.
When choosing a life insurance firm to obtain your policy, it is important to make certain that the firm you decide on is financially sound and has a good reputation. You won’t get that much comfort from a cheaper policy that is actually from a firm that has a bad reputation, and the last thing you want is to feel unsafe about the policy you obtain.
Do not put in too much personal info on an online insurance form. There are a lot of con artists online that are looking to take your identity and make some quick cash. Remember, the only initial information you need to provide for a life insurance quote is your zip code.
If there are individuals that depend on you financially, you should think about getting life insurance. Life insurance can provide money to your spouse for bills or the mortgage, or even give your children money for college if you pass away.
The cost of premiums with different companies may vary up to forty percent. Search on the Internet for competitive rates from a number of providers, taking care to find one who will take your personal medical conditions into account.
Before you commit to a life insurance plan, get many quotes from different companies. Many companies use different methods to come up with a premium amount. For example, if you smoke or enjoy a risky habit like skydiving, your premium payments might be higher with one company than with another. You’re unlikely to find two exactly the same.
Dying is a natural part of life, and people have to accept that things just happen sometimes. It happens a lot sooner than people might plan on. If you don’t properly plan for the future, then your family could be left with nothing when you leave this earth. Heed the advice of this article and see that your intentions are met and your loved ones are cared for.
Life insurance isn’t always straightforward and can be quite tricky. Choosing the right policy and understanding its different clauses requires a lot of hard work. Read this article to learn how to select the best policy for you.
Work with a financial advisor to purchase life insurance, instead of a broker. An insurance broker earns a large commission from any insurance policy you purchase. Conversely, many financial advisers only get paid one flat fee. For this reason, financial advisers are less likely to push you into certain products and have more reason to deal with you honestly.
Work on improving your lifestyle and health before subscribing to a policy. Life insurance is a real expense. It is even more expensive if you are in poor health. Don’t purchase any life insurance until your body is in excellent shape. You should make improvements to your diet, and lose weight; do anything possible to help. Your costs will go down as your health improves.
Hobbies and professions that are risky or hazardous may cost you dearly when you purchase life insurance. If you can not afford the rates quoted you, consider giving up any dangerous hobbies such as skydiving or scuba diving. If you travel the world in areas that are considered dangerous, you may not be eligible for some discounts.
Tell your insurance company about any high-risk hobbies you participate in, such as skydiving or skiing. You should also disclose any job duties that may put your life at extra risk. Your premiums will be higher, but you will not risk being disqualified for coverage should the insurance company discover you have withheld information. In addition, failure to disclose risks can be considered fraudulent activity. You may have to pay large penalties or fines and in some cases, may even face jail time.
You should ensure your life insurance company has a good reputation when you are looking to enroll in a policy. While an inexpensive policy from a lesser known firm might seem attractive, it will be useless if they will not be able to fulfill the claim.
When you seek online information regarding life insurance, remember to safeguard your personal information. Many online scams claim that they will give you insurance quotes, while using your data to steal your personal identity. To find a good quote for life insurance, you really just need to disclose your zip code.
After purchasing life insurance, tell those who may benefit from it that it exists. Give the beneficiary information like the amount of insurance, where you keep the policy documents, and the contact information for the person to contact when the time comes.
Prices can vary significantly from company to company. Some research has shown that price discrepancy can be as high as 40 percent. You can compare insurance quotes using an online service. It is particularly helpful if the service can give you very accurate quotes per your medical history.
With this article, you should now have a better sense of going about getting any type of insurance for anyone, whether it be for your family or you. Applying this advice will assist you in going through all the unnecessary garbage in order to better understand exactly what you’re purchasing. Utilize the tips and techniques provided to obtain the perfect life insurance policy. | 2019-04-23T22:29:15 | https://permanent-lifeinsurancequotes.com/blog/tag/financial-advisers/ |

Abstract. Since many drug-drug pharmacokinetic interactions are dependent on the concentrations of the interacting species, the degree of interaction should be a graded phenomenon varying with drug and/or metabolite concentration and thus drug administration and time.... The goal of drug abuse treatment is to stop drug use and allow people to lead active lives in the family, workplace, and community. One continual challenge, however, is keeping patients in treatment long enough for them to achieve this goal.

The Harvard Crimson’s April 8, 1968, edition.
Fifty years ago the murder of a Baptist minister turned Civil Rights giant shook the nation. Just after 6 p.m. on April 4, 1968, Martin Luther King Jr. was gunned down on the second-floor balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tenn. There to support the city’s striking sanitation workers, King was about to head to dinner when he was struck in the jaw by a single bullet. In a country already roiled by racial violence and civil unrest, the killing set off a wave of deadly riots from coast to coast.
We asked a group of Harvard scholars to reflect on King’s life, death, and legacy. Historians Annette Gordon-Reed and Henry Louis Gates Jr. recalled where they were when they heard about the assassination. Philosopher Tommie Shelby remembered his earliest impressions of King’s language and rhetoric. All three shared thoughts on how the Civil Rights leader would view today’s America. Political theorist Danielle Allen, set to deliver the keynote at a King-focused conference on Friday, said that 50 years on, his work remains unfinished.
Annette Gordon-Reed (from left), Danielle Allen, Henry Louis Gates Jr., and Tommie Shelby.
A senior in high school, Gates was at home in Piedmont, Va., watching TV when an announcement interrupted the news.
“I had three best friends that were black and they came over and we were just shocked — we were stunned,” said Gates, the Alphonse Fletcher Jr. University Professor and director of the Hutchins Center. “There was nothing that we could do.
The shock lingered in Gates’ voice as he considered King’s relative youth.
What would he think of the U.S. today?
Her parents’ reaction was likely shared by countless Americans. King had endured repeated physical attacks during his years of nonviolent protests, and death threats against him were common. In his last public address, delivered at Memphis’ Mason Temple the day before his death, King alluded to his own mortality.
Turning to today, Gordon-Reed said King would have been amazed by the Obama presidency, though unsurprised by the backlash against it.
Which of King’s beliefs would most surprise people today? Reparations are high on Shelby’s list.
With Harvard students on spring break the week of the assassination, King was remembered on Palm Sunday at Memorial Church. The Harvard Crimson’s Monday, April 8, edition ran a picture of the slain icon accompanied by an article headlined “Funeral, Sympathy March Draw Thousands to South.” The following day, President Nathan M. Pusey canceled morning and early afternoon classes to allow students to attend a special service in Memorial Church. The Harvard leader addressed the crowd during the somber ceremony.
The impact of King’s death rippled through Commencement events. In March 1968, students had broken from tradition and directly invited the Class Day speaker. They selected King, whose speech, set for June 12, was expected to address the Vietnam War.
Her husband’s death still raw, Coretta Scott King agreed to speak in his place on Class Day. By then the nation was mourning another loss. Six days earlier Civil Rights advocate and presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy had been shot to death in Los Angeles.
“These two men addressed themselves to the burning issues of our times: They spoke out against great evils in our society: racism, poverty, and war,” King told seniors at Sanders Theatre. “They were great and effective actors on the stage of history. They played their parts exceedingly well, thus inspiring millions. They are a part of that creative minority which helped to move society forward.
Five decades removed from the grieving widow’s show of courage and resolve, Allen, the James Bryant Conant University Professor, will focus her address at Friday’s symposium on urging the same qualities upon a nation still struggling to live up to Martin Luther King Jr.’s highest hopes.

This is especially important on the eve of the full moon. Magic cleansing of the house should be done with the help of the four elements - Earth is symbolized by salt, Air by incense, Water by a bowl of holy water and Fire by a burning candle. Salt should be thrown into corners and incense should be carried throughout the entire house; sprinkle water everywhere as well and with the candle one must also go clockwise around all living areas while praying aloud. If you want to make things more simple just mop the floor with slightly sea-salted water and burn candles and incense.

But outside of his leaving Samsung, Kondik gave an off the cuff semi-review or initial thoughts on his time with the new Galaxy S4. He talked about how the Galaxy S3 is the device he uses everyday, so hardware-wise, was pleased with the GS4. He even took it a step further, saying that it “feels quite a bit more solid” and “blows the competition out of the water” when it comes to specs.
His thoughts on TouchWiz, on the other hand, were not so delightful. In his time with the Galaxy S4 and the newest version of TouchWiz, he felt as if the skin had reverted back to Gingerbread in some ways. There will be countless “Loading…” screens, a return of the fully tabbed UI, and an overall UI performance that is “average.”Kondik was a fan of Air View and the new camera software, but not so much a fan of Smart Scroll.
Last, he did say that the upgrade from a Galaxy S2 to the Galaxy S4 is a clear choice. | 2019-04-23T06:00:30 | https://www.droid-life.com/2013/03/25/steve-cyanogen-kondik-talks-galaxy-s4-while-leaving-job-at-samsung/ |
The River Slaney is a wide strong flowing river punctuated with slower flowing areas and pools in some stretches. The river between Enniscorthy and Bunclody is wide and fast flowing. From Bunclody to Tullow the banks are generally clear and the river is wide, with a strong fast current. However, there are a good number of weirs punctuated by pools with some slower flowing areas. The stretch from Tullow to Baltinglass is fast flowing, rocky and overgrown in parts. In the Co Wicklow stretch of the Slaney north of Tullow, brown trout is the dominant species.
The River Barrow shares a common estuary with the Rivers Nore and Suir, they are known as the ‘Three Sisters’. The Barrow is a more gently flowing river and has been made navigable by building canals round the shallow areas, and therefore best fishing areas are downstream of the weirs that divert the waters to the canals. Because the Barrow is a slower and deeper river than the others, the distribution of its trout stock differs significantly. Therefore the best numbers can be found in the vicinity of the shallower water downstream of the weirs. | 2019-04-24T12:00:54 | http://www.laburnum-lodge.com/fishing.html |

With more than 1.3 million high schools students enrolled in an online class in 2010, online learning is becoming more and more common place for students. Not only does the opportunity to enroll in an online college-level course better prepare high school students for college-level work, it provides them with skills to be successful in online learning environments.
There are numerous benefits to taking online college courses for high school students. From gaining confidence in coursework to earning college credits, the benefits provide students with early collegiate and career skills, as well as lifelong learning skills.
Earning credit in online college courses while in high school provides students with a head start on their college-level learning. Whether it is 3 credits or the equivalent of a semester’s worth of credits, earning credit prior to entering college provides students the opportunity to adjust their college schedules according to the rigors of a particular semester, more easily engage in study abroad and internship opportunities, double major or add a minor to an existing major, and/or graduate early.
Attending college is an extremely exciting time in a young adult’s life. It represents the next step in learning, preparing for a career, and being independent. While exciting, it also comes with many new decisions that are based upon lifelong learning skills such as time management, communication, and decision-making. By taking a pre-collegiate online course, students gain confidence in these skills prior to stepping foot in the classroom, whether traditional or virtual.
Online college courses offer students a great opportunity to pursue challenging coursework that their high school may not offer. By ‘dabbling’ in career-oriented, STEM, and liberal arts courses, students can expand their breadth of knowledge in a certain area or explore an area of interest that may lead to a college major and a career in the given field.
Earning college credits online while in high school can speed up a student’s graduation track, and allow them to graduate early. In a time when the cost of a college education has never been higher, and college graduates are paying, on average, over $29,000 in student loans, earning your degree early is a major benefit.
As mentioned earlier, millions of college students enrolled in an online course in the fall 2012 semester. While the ability to use technology and social media may increase one’s success in the online environment, it does not equate to instant success. By engaging in an online course in high school, students learn to navigate the e-learning environment appropriately and successfully prior to enrolling in their full-time collegiate experience.
It’s important to understand that online learning isn’t an easy alternative. It takes organization and a commitment to learning, but is a great value for high school students. Pre-collegiate online programs can be found by speaking with administrators from your school district. If the school is not currently collaborating with a university who offers online learning, students and parents can research opportunities and provide information to district administrators.
Post University offers these benefits through our Online High School Academy, which offers six 8-week modules per year. The Academy offers a variety of classes to fit students’ interest, as well as electives in areas that may not be offered in high school curriculum.
Currently, students can earn up to 12 credits while in high school through Post. Students or parents interested in the Post University Online High School Academy should speak with school guidance counselors or school administrators to learn how their district can take advantage of this opportunity. | 2019-04-22T02:30:33 | http://blog.post.edu/2014/12/5-ways-online-college-courses-can-benefit-high-school-students/ |
I also noticed the Blackwing in the “Notorious RBG” film. It went by so quickly I wasn’t entirely sure, but your also seeing it confirms what I thought.
Re: the Blackwing on my music writing desk being in its native habitat, I wish it were still possible to get the kind of pocket-sized staff paper pad that the Blackwing is sitting on that we used to be able to take with us everywhere. My iPhone is not up to replacing the pair of them in the slightest.
Regarding RBG, though I’m not certain, it appears to me that she’s using one of the many Palomino-branded pencils called Blackwing. Correction welcomed.
They have some small pads as well as small folios, etc.
Thanks for those links. Will check them out.
Confirmed! I took this pic back in late May when I saw it in the theatre — I can’t believe I got the camera app open on my phone in time! It’s hard to tell how dark the barrel is, but it’s got a black eraser on it, so it’s either the early-style Palomino Blackwing 602 (before they started putting a pink eraser on it) or a later-model Palomino Blackwing (what we call on the Erasable Podcast the “MMX”, since it was introduced in 2010) where they started putting a black eraser on.
Also YAYYY she’s a fellow left-hander!
Totally great catch to open your shutter on exactly this image. Also a fellow left-hander I’m nonetheless dismayed that it’s a Palomino instead of a true vintage Blackwing. But she has far more important things on her mind than which pencil she’s using. | 2019-04-19T12:39:00 | https://blackwingpages.com/2018/09/18/laurie-spiegels-blackwing-in-little-doorways-to-paths-not-yet-taken/?shared=email&msg=fail |

I don’t know if it’s working. But hey it seems pretty easy, maybe even easier than wordpress itself. I mean, when it comes to editing and publishing posts, you can take advantage of MS Word version 2007. Here you can insert photos and edit them easily. Do you notice the border around the picture of the flower? It was done by Word’s Picture Format option.
Not only that, you can also categorize your posts to as many categories as you want. However, I didn’t find any way to add tags to posts, this is a bad thing, I believe. Tag is important, especially when it comes to WordPress.com.
Alright, enough talked. Now let’s push the Publish button and see what happens.
The screenshot was taken right after hitting the publish button. I was totally surprised to see that certainly “no error” occurred. Wow! Also, I’m still wondering how the picture was uploaded to the server without any extra hassle. Hey, why do we hassle with uploading each picture manually? It gets us waiting until the upload is completed. Instead, just insert the pictures in your document (on MS Word 2007, obviously) and format your post the way you like.
I was also able to edit the pictures right under the same roof. Guess what; even it lets you add alternative text behind your pictures. Say OMG!!
Update 2: After a couple of hours of publishing, the images attached with this post seem vanished! What the hell has happened?! Even WordPress post revision histories don’t have any URL of the images attached to this post although I do remember that I had seen a permanent link to the images attached with this post before I went offline.
When I left, everything was fine. But now, a couple of hours later, the images are gone! | 2019-04-20T07:12:14 | https://aisjournal.com/2010/03/05/this-is-a-post-by-ms-word-%E2%80%9807/ |
Amid fevered protests agains the Alaska Pebble Mine proposal, which included opposition from the Berkley Conservation Institute (BCI), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced that it will now consider the Clean Water Act in its environmental review process of the proposed mine. The inclusion of the Clean Water Act is a critical step towards halting the Bristol Bay, Alaska, mining project, which, according to a 2013 EPA report, would forever damage a vital sockeye salmon fishery.
""Bristol Bay is a highly valued world-class fishery that positively impacts thousands of jobs," said John Doerr, CEO of Pure Fishing. "Unique fisheries like Bristol Bay have to be protected for future generations. The Pebble Mine project presents significant risks to both local, regional and national interests, there simply is too much at stake to allow the Pebble Mine project to move forward."
Mining the pebble deposit would involve excavation of a pit up to one mile deep and over 2.5 miles wide — the largest open pit ever constructed in North America. The pebble deposit is located at the headwaters of Nushagak and Kvichak rivers, which produce about half of the sockeye salmon in Bristol Bay.
The EPA press release announcing this decision can be found here. | 2019-04-21T00:11:11 | https://www.in-fisherman.com/editorial/berkley-conservation-institute-congratulates-epa-alaska-pebble-mine-action/155618 |

It's been a great experience and it actually has made me think about my professional career and my next goals in life. So it's disruptive but very very good.
My peer review deadline is today and I am worried about not passing it. Hope this system is improved. I finished it a week ago and nobody is responding to my peer view.
Great information, and up to date. Things in career management are changing quite rapidly and while we are immersed in our daily activities we probably don't even notice it.
This was an important reminder that each individual is responsible for their career path, is up to each person how to build it.
It's was very good skills but I didn't know how to get certificate.
Highly recommended course for anyone to find career-fit, through self management and self-assessment.
Great course for career management!
I am a man of 58 years old and having an experience of almost 30 years of Business Management of Pharmaceutical & Nutraceutical Industries of Pakistan. Presently I am having my own Consulting Company " AIMMS CONSULTING" and extending my services as Management Consultant to different companies of said sectors.
I am of the conviction that learning is never ending and have a habit of learning new ideas about my favorite subject about Business Metrics.
I really appreciate highly the efforts of my respected dynamic & competent Instructors Dr. Valeri Chukhlomin, Dr. Michele Forte, Dr. Kymn Harvin Rutigliano , Dr. John M. Beckem II, Dr. Tonka Jokelova & Amy Giaculli and enjoyed the course material and videos presentation of this course. Mind blowing conceptual approach was adopted especially in the areas of basic conceptual knowledge of Strategic Career Self Management in depth. Overall it was my superb experience of learning.
MY PERSONAL HUMBLE REQUEST, Please make also the important components of course material as a part of this Certificate with % AGGREGATE so that it has a much more worth & impact for the courses participated.
A separate Transcript must be issued with having Aggregate % Score and important Components of participated course. | 2019-04-26T08:14:51 | https://fr.coursera.org/learn/strategic-career-self-management/reviews |
Learning isn’t about winning at all costs or about being first; but rather building competence, confidence, skills and the ability to perform at a higher standard. This takes GRIT. Does innate ability automatically lead to persistence, determination and a strong work ethic? No. Resilience within learning can look like a high achieving student who continues to try their hardest, setting their own benchmarks. Progress can also look like a student who struggles with reading but perseveres on a daily basis to make connections and sense of their learning. It is with this in mind that I have asked teachers to consider the progress of their students and its relationship to academic achievement. The end of year events will recognise that Kindergarten, Year 1 and 2 and Primary students are different in their understanding of performance acknowledgment and academic success.
Kindergarten students will be recognised through a special ceremony and performance on Friday 7 December in the Iona Performing Arts Centre at 9:30 am. The completion of a child’s first year at school is certainly cause for celebration. It is also exciting that the Performing Arts staff have been available to assist the Kindergarten teachers in preparing a short performance piece for your enjoyment and to share the joy of the festive season and Christ’s birth.
All Year 1 and Year 2 students will have their efforts recognised with an individual certificate at our Stage 1 Celebration of Learning. Parents are invited to visit the classrooms for the presentation on Tuesday 11 December at 9:30am. Due to limited space in classrooms we extend this invitation to immediate family. At the conclusion of the Celebration of Learning, parents are invited to join their children for a picnic in the Stage 1 playground. Picnic packs will be available to pay and collect on arrival from the Iona Cafe and then make your way to the classroom. Use this link to pre-order your lunch pack.
The role of the Years 1 and 2 Celebration of Learning is to reinforce the belief that lifelong achievement is about effort and attitude. It compares students’ improvement to their own prior performance and is critical to ensuring a student’s future academic success.
Sports Awards Years 3 to 6 (and invited Year 2 students) will acknowledge the sporting achievements of their peers at the Primary Sports Awards in the Iona Sports Centre on Thursday 6 December at 12:00 pm.
Primary Awards Special Awards and Class Awards acknowledge that individual achievement is formally celebrated by the school and their parents. The awards will be held in the Iona Sports Centre on Monday 10 December at 12:00 pm and students are required to wear full school uniform. Parents will be notified by email if their child is receiving an award.
The Year 6 Graduation dinner and disco will be held on Monday 3 December in the Iona Performing Arts Centre at 5:45 pm. The evening will commence with a formal presentation to our Year 6 graduates. Afterward, there will be a dinner and Disco for students and canapes and refreshments for parents. Please look out for the invitation and RSVP information.
I look forward to celebrating the conclusion of the 2018 school year with our students and their families. | 2019-04-22T04:51:54 | http://news.scas.nsw.edu.au/end-of-year-celebrations-k-6-term-4/ |
Are you a dog lover? I know I am.
Animals of all kinds can bring us so much joy, not only when things are going well, but also when we feel pain and are suffering.
“Man’s best friend” can be our true and faithful companions through thick and thin. We look to our pets when we are ready to play and laugh, and they instinctively know when we need their support.
I’ve had a dog most of my life. From purebreds to mutts, I’ve loved them all. It has always felt comforting to me to have a dog around. The joy dogs provide is well worth the effort.
We all have struggles and challenges in our life, and it’s during those times that our pets can really come in handy to help us find our joy.
One of my most stressful challenges was discovering my daughter’s addiction to crystal meth. I felt blindsided by this discovery. I knew she was struggling, but this was something I had never expected.
I learned from this experience that the time I have spent working on myself, as opposed to the time I have spent trying to fix her problem, has been the most meaningful and the most productive. Despite having addiction in my life, I could find my joy again.
For parents in the midst of addiction with their children, it can be emotionally exhausting for long periods of time. It’s easy to let the stress of the situation overtake you.
I am one of the lucky ones. My daughter has gone on to seek recovery for her addiction. She has grown and matured in ways I would never have expected.
We have both learned life lessons, and have evolved into new and hopefully better people. We both know to take it one day at a time.
From this experience, I found I needed to change. I needed to approach life in a new way.
As I watch my dog go through her day, I realize the lessons are really right there in front of me if I care to pay attention.
Here are some of the ways I can be the person my dog wants me to be, and be the person I want to be as well. I know that whatever life brings me, joy is still always there for the taking.
Our relationships with others nurture our soul. We may neglect our friends because of our work or other interests. We may just get busy and forget to stay in touch.
When we look to our dogs, they need our connection on a daily basis. They need our love, time, and attention. When we stay connected with others, it feeds our soul and helps to lead us to a long life.
We can spend time regretting the past and worrying about the future, but I have learned that the solution will not be found that way. Spinning my wheels thinking about things that I cannot change is not productive.
Dogs live for today—and so can we. We can appreciate every moment as it comes and be grateful for what we have. Like all animals, when we live in the present, we can have more enthusiasm, joy for life, and less worry.
Forgiveness may be something we consider, but find difficult to really feel and carry out. The payoff in not forgiving is that we can continue to blame others for how we feel and remain the victim.
When you study animal packs, there is rarely a conflict, as the members of the pack solve their problems and move on. They don’t hold a grudge or worry about what happened yesterday.
Forgiveness gives us back our power, as we regain a sense of wholeness, peace, and the ability to move on with our lives.
Many of us have not developed or have lost touch with our intuition. We listen to words, but neglect our inner feelings. We may feel uneasy about a certain situation, but neglect what our body is telling us.
Dogs understand what is going on beneath the surface, as they are led by their instincts and rely on their gut reactions. We have these clues as well. Hone in on your intuition and it will guide you to a life of peace and serenity.
When any of us have a traumatic situation, we can get off track and spend too much time focused on the situation, neglecting the other areas of our life. I have, at times spent too much time worrying about the problems of others. I’ve learned that we shortchange not only ourselves, but those around us.
Notice how well a dog does when their life is balanced. Dogs need their exercise, a dose of love, and structure to their daily routine, and so do we. When we balance our life, the stress fades to the background and we enjoy life that much more.
We teach others how to treat us. Many of us have a hard time setting boundaries that are clear and believable. We can waver and be indecisive, and those close to us may not know where our boundaries begin or end.
Close, connected relationships start with clear and consistent communication. Our relationship with our dog is a perfect example. When the rules are clear, and enforced consistently, our pets do well; otherwise they are confused about what is acceptable behavior.
Have you ever wondered why you were placed here on earth? Sometimes we lose our way and are not sure about our true purpose. The same is true for dogs.
When dogs are given a job and contribute in some way to the well being of others they feel a sense of satisfaction. As humans, we need to find our purpose as well. When we take the time to discover our purpose in life, we feel more fulfilled, and our life feels more meaningful.
8. Make every day special.
Sometimes we can let days go by and get swallowed up in our routine. Every day is the same and our excitement is lacking.
Have you ever noticed how a dog finds everyday life exciting? They can’t wait to eat, go for their walk, see you come home, or greet a visitor. We can learn so much by observing how our pets have enthusiasm for the simple joys of everyday life.
Everyday can be special for us as well. When we take the time to look, we may find our joy is still there waiting to be rediscovered.

SUMMARY: One person’s $55,000 appendectomy bill from Sutter Health systems in California is going viral on the Web. The surgery in question took place just before Sutter agreed to an out-of-court settlement over charges of false and misleading anesthesia billing.
How much does an appendectomy cost? Well, that depends.
We’re no longer that surprised by shocking hospital bills. But people started talking on Twitter about this viral hospital bill on Imgur, the image sharing service.
“So on October 1st of this year I woke up with an excruciating pain in my lower abdomen. Turns out it was appendicitis. So after about a 24 hour stay in the hospital I was free to go. This was the bill I received earlier this month,” wrote the poster, whose name is not on the bill.
The two-hour recovery room stay of $7,501.00 raised special questions, and the anesthesia: $4,582.00!
Sutter Health came to a settlement this November in a suit that it had overcharged for anesthesia.
The chain, which runs 24 acute-care hospitals in California, agreed to pay $46 million in the out-of-court settlement, and also to give more pricing information to consumers, as the result of a whistleblower complaint charging that the chain’s billing practices were false and misleading.
“Sutter Health, which runs 24 acute-care hospitals in Northern California, said it reached the settlement Monday just prior to a trial starting this month over the allegations that it added thousands of dollars for “Code 37x” anesthesia charges that were already covered by other billing for the hospital operating room,” Chad Terhune wrote in The Los Angeles Times.
One of the most surprising pieces of this story came when the California hospital association head defended Sutter’s practices.
“The state’s hospital trade group also defended Sutter and said its billing practices were in line with industry standards,” Terhune wrote.
Which means: Sutter’s not alone. Here’s a blog post we wrote about this last year.
But in this particular case, it seems obvious that the person should take the bill back to the Sutter billing office with a copy of Chad Terhune’s story.
Scrutinize all hospital bills carefully. Some industry sources say 60 percent of hospital bills have an error; some say 100 percent of hospital bills have an error.
Ask the hospital for an itemized bill with HCPCS or CPT codes, and insist that you need to confirm the accuracy of the bill before you’ll pay it.
Look carefully at the insurance company’s explanation of benefits; compare it with the bill. Quite often an E.O.B. is also difficult to read. Question everything that seems unusual.
If the bill shows something inaccurate, point that out to the billing office and ask for the charge to be removed.
If the insurance company isn’t paying for something, ask them why and ask to see the point in the contract that allows them to refuse to pay.
Calling both the provider (hospital) and payer (insurance company) will sometimes reveal that the entire bill is an error and you owe nothing. Don’t pay until you’re sure the bill is accurate.
There are services that will argue your hospital bills for you. Some work for contingency fees; some are better than others. Do your homework if this is the path you choose.
Get used to doing this. That $11,119.53 is a lot of money, and there’s much more of this coming. | 2019-04-24T23:57:33 | http://clearhealthcosts.com/blog/2013/12/appendicitis-sucks-america-imgur/ |

Turkey can pay Russia compensation worth $5 billion for the downed plane, the Cumhuriyet newspaper cited former President Abdullah Gul`s ex-adviser Ahmet Takan as saying.
The crisis in relations between the two countries began after Turkey shot down a Russia Su-24 bomber aircraft near the Syrian border. Tensions eased after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan offered condolences to Russia and apologized.
The Presidents of Turkey and Russia met in St. Petersburg on August 9. The meeting served as the beginning of restoration of “axis of friendship” and clean slate between Ankara and Moscow. | 2019-04-23T00:21:08 | https://en.azvision.az/news/45482/turkey-may-pay-$5-bn-compensation-for-downed-russian-su-24.html |
A native executable offers important benefits, like shorter startup time and lower memory footprint. In addition, when a native executable runs within a container, the size of the container image is reduced (when compared with the same Java application running in a traditional JVM), because the container image doesn’t include a Java runtime. An optimized container size is critical for deploying apps to the cloud.
We are pleased to announce that, starting with version 1.0.3, Helidon supports the GraalVM native-image capability. Now you can easily compile your Helidon application into a native executable with all the advantages described earlier. For example, the sample application described in this article has a startup time measured in tenths of milliseconds and a MacOS executable size of only 21MB. Both of those numbers are higher when a traditional JVM is used.
On the other hand, everything is always a tradeoff. Long running applications on traditional JVMs are still demonstrating better performance than GraalVM native executables due to runtime optimization. The key word here is long-running; for short-running applications like serverless functions native executables have a performance advantage. So, you need to decide yourself between fast startup time and small size (and the additional step of building the native executable) versus better performance for long-running applications.
Compiling to native binaries introduces certain restrictions for your application. Because of native compilation, you must identify all the points in your code where reflection is used, which is not possible if CDI runtime injection is used. Helidon MP supports MicroProfile standards, which require CDI 2.0. Also, Helidon CDI cloud extensions are implemented as CDI plugins. We didn’t want to limit or complicate the user experience with Helidon MP; so GraalVM is supported in only Helidon SE. It is a perfect fit, because Helidon SE is designed to build small, reactive microservices. It doesn’t use dependency injection, annotations and other such magic . All the Helidon SE features and components (WebServer, Config, Security, Metrics, and Health Checks) are compatible with GraalVM native images.
The local profile is for users who have GraalVM installed locally and want to build a native executable for the same OS that they work on.
The Docker profile is for users who don’t have GraalVM installed locally or want to build native executable for Linux while using macOS locally.
Due to the possibility of backwards incompatible changes in GraalVM before the final release, the GraalVM support in Helidon is experimental. It’s been tested on GraalVM version RC13; it is not guaranteed to work on other GraalVM versions.
To get you started, Helidon has a quickstart sample, which you can use as a template for your Helidon-on-GraalVM application.
To build using the local profile you need to download GraalVM, extract it to some folder on your computer and define GRAALVM_HOME environment variable pointing to it.
If you use macOS, GRAALVM_HOME must point to Contents/Home directory inside the GraalVM root as it’s shown below.
docker build -t helidon-native -f Dockerfile.native .
Helidon is a Java framework designed from scratch for writing microservices. It provides everything that you need to create small and efficient Java applications. It offers two programming models: reactive, and imperative supporting MicroProfile.
With GraalVM support, Helidon is one of the best solutions in the market for developing cloud-native microservices!
Do join our open-source community! We care about our users, and are ready to support you and answer your questions.
We tested it with newly released GraalVM RC16 (both CE and EE versions) and it perfectly works. | 2019-04-26T16:16:59 | https://dmitrykornilov.net/2019/04/17/helidon-flies-faster-with-graalvm/ |

It’s actually been three years; our Create GB project dominating We Heart during the build up to London’s 2012 Olympics and beyond. Our snapshot of varied creative disciplines, up-and-coming graduates to established names, was immortalised in print — in the shape of Create GB Volume 1.
Appending its title with ‘Volume 1’ was less about a second volume immediately planned, more of a desire to leaving the door open for a return. Well, the Olympics are back next year (the name Create GB was born from a desire to show Britain on a global creative stage, much like Team GB do on a sporting stage), and it feels like time to go back to the project — this time getting deeper into creatives who are operating away from the mainstream; uncovering more raw talent; and better analysing what makes British creativity.
Celebrating Create GB‘s wheels grinding back into action, we will be selling the remaining copies of our beautiful 196-page publication at just £5 until stocks run dry. Stay tuned for more updates on Create GB. | 2019-04-19T22:21:42 | https://www.we-heart.com/2015/09/03/create-gb-clearance/ |

Lately I've been obsessed with Pinterest and thanks to guest blogger Jill I rediscovered this awesome web page. When I was browsing through my feed, I found some amazing necklaces and I decided to recreate them and the nice part is: you can make them too! It's an easy and cheap solution to expensive looking and awesome necklaces. Now: let's get your hands together!
I just purchased some necklace chains, E6000 glue and some other necessities for this DIY on Ebay. It's cheap and you will even be able to find sterling silver necklaces for a good price.
Now I took my nail polish box and made some nice color combinations and thought about possible designs for my necklaces.
Now it's time to paint the 'lenses' according to your wishes (with nail polish of course)!
Remember: the color you apply first is seen on the front, so this design turns out a little bit different but I think you get the idea ;-) If you don't want to mix up the colors, wait a few seconds before applying the second layer. The nail polish dries very quick, but you just need a little bit of patience.
Now I am going to explain you how I made the galaxy design! First: apply a transparent glitter polish.
Now I took another pink glitter nail polish and started dipping on top of the other layer with a sponge. I've also used a white nail polish for this.
Now I filled everything up with a nice dark blue color!
I also made a dotted design!
As soon as the nail polish is dry, you can glue the pendants on the metal surface!
Use some nice sterling silver necklaces for a chic result! The design above on the left is cotton candy by the way, I hope you can recognize it! Haha.
I hope you liked this little DIY! I already made some other ones right now and I'm planning on giving one to my mother for her birthday soon because it just looks nice! Which design did you like the most? Let me know in the comments!
Wow, it looks like easy to do, bu it is so oryginal! | 2019-04-26T14:49:57 | http://movieanne.blogspot.com/2015/03/colorful-diy-necklaces.html |

In true Teneale style, I took a simple sketch and turned it into a big MESS! Well a mess on my desk as I pulled out so many dies and stamps, trying to get the right balance. I have used lots of new dies from Stampin’ Up! in this card, I am LOVING the Bold Butterfly Framelits which are a add-on to the Butterfly Thinlits from the last Occasions Catalogue. The vellum circle is from the Barker’s Box Thinlits and the “hello” is cut from Greeting Thinlits.
I am STILL is Elle – Oh – Vee – Ee LOVE! With the Color Me Irresistible Specialty DSP, which is the black paper used with the AMAZING lines. I adore the varnished designs of this paper and that was what inspired my creative mess in my craftroom as I tried to play with lustre to embrace the sheen of the Color Me Irresistible Specialty DSP. I have used clear embossing on the Bold Butterfly, using part of Open Sea for the script, the coiled Silver Metallic Thread. Adding softness and texture with the Basic Black Stitched Satin ribbon that has been folded over it’s self. I needed to mute the butterfly a little as it was too strong for the greeting so I added the vellum element between the two, the greeting was cut from Silver Glimmer Paper adding a little sparkle.
Next stop on the INKspired blog hop is the amazing Barbara Williams.
Lovely card, super cute butterfly and Hello card.
Do you have trouble getting the glimmer paper out of the word thinlets ?
A beautiful card as always! Love it….
So elegant, love the black . | 2019-04-19T02:59:53 | http://tenealewilliams.com.au/ink019/ |
Scotland’s meat wholesalers have urged the Secretary of State for Scotland, Michael Moore, to help ‘stop the rot’ of declining livestock numbers, warning that the consequences of a diminishing meat processing sector will become ‘dire’ before long.
“We need the policy framework to deliver rules which reward the right things."
The Scottish Association of Meat Wholesalers (SAMW) has also told the Secretary of State that this is the ideal opportunity for the UK and Scottish governments to pursue a ‘common goal’ in securing vital national and regional support for the livestock and meat industry during the current CAP Reform process.
Stating that cattle supplies have become ‘very much tighter’ in the last 12 months, on top of a five-year period of ‘fundamental decline,’ Anderson continued: “Alarmingly, cattle slaughterings in Scottish abattoirs in the first five months of this year decreased by 9% over the corresponding period in 2011. The rot must be stopped now or the consequences of a diminishing meat processing sector for the rural communities, the economy and employment will be dire before long.
With the current CAP Reform process now reaching an advanced stage, Mr Anderson added: “We need the policy framework to deliver rules which reward the right things. You will be aware that the one coupled payment scheme which has operated since the last CAP reform is the Scottish Beef Calf Scheme. This accounts for around 4.5% of the national envelope, a modest amount, but without it the number of cows shown above would have been even worse. Targeted support continues to have a valuable role in the future CAP and re-supplying the processing industry in Scotland, but it must be 15% or more, not 4.5%. | 2019-04-22T12:15:04 | https://meatmanagement.com/secretary-of-state-urged-to-help-stop-the-rot/ |
In the latest issue of AP, we take a look back on the Class Of 2006: classic records from Underoath, Brand New, AFI, Escape The Fate and, of course, My Chemical Romance.
Bassist Mikey Way looks back on The Black Parade’s strenuous recoding process and, among other things, what he believes people didn’t “get” about the LP when it was released.
He added, “Thankfully, the album is being remembered better than I ever could have possibly imagined. 10 years later, it’s always an elephant in the room when it comes to the subject of My Chemical Romance, and I welcome that.” You can read two excerpts from the interview below.
My Chemical Romance startled the scene last week after they updated their profile pictures on Facebook and Twitter, shared a teaser video with the opening keys to their iconic track, “Welcome To The Black Parade” and put up pre-orders for new shirts. But alas, there is no reunion planned—just a re-release of The Black Parade.
AP 338 is available for pre-order now. Not only does it offer a look back at some of your favorite records, but it offers a glimpse into the future for one of our scene’s biggest acts: A Day To Remember.
What is the one thing you think people never really “got” about the album? Did anything get lost on the audience that you had hoped would be recognized?
I feel like the aspect of the record that people didn’t “get” at the time, has grown crystal-clear to most now. Eight, nine or 10 years back, so many different labels were being thrown around about what exactly [My Chem] were. There were endless catchphrases to classify us, but we always stood firm that we were making rock n’ roll music as a rock in’ roll band. I think hindsight is 20/20 and more people share that opinion today.
How do you want this album to be remembered?
Thankfully, the album is being remembered better than I could have ever possibly imagined. 10 years later, it’s always an elephant in the room when it comes to the subject of My Chemical Romance, and I welcome that. It is an honor and privilege to be part of the band responsible for such a legacy. | 2019-04-19T07:19:00 | https://www.altpress.com/news/what_people_didnt_get_about_my_chemical_romances_the_black_parade/ |

The goal of the American island-hopping strategy is to reach the Marianas Islands of Saipan, Tinian, and Guam. Once the Marianas have been taken, a strategic bombing campaign can be launched against the Japanese homeland. First the US seizes the Gilbert Islands including Tarawa and Makin Atolls (see the Tarawa and Makin animations). Next, they focus on the Marshall Islands including Kwajalein and Eniwetok Atolls. On these islands the US marines and army face tough resistance as Japanese defenders continue to fight to the death.

Apam (C/R), March 28, GNA - Apostle Albert Kwesi Hackman of the Apam branch of the Church of Lord, Lighthouse, has called on the Christian Council of Ghana, the Catholic Secretariat and the Pentecostal Council to help curb the upsurge of what he called "Church on wheels".
Apostle Hackman said activities of so-called pastors, who use moving buses as their churches were not only causing nuisance to passengers but also making mockery of Christianity.
Speaking to Ghana News Agency at Apam, the pastor said these self-styled pastors learnt some few quotations from the bible, which they rattled on buses after which they made appeal to the passengers for donations for work of God.
After collecting the money, they get down to join another vehicle. Apostle Hackman said their conduct suggested that they were more interested in the monetary gains than preaching the word of God. He noted that this type of "business" was spreading fast to many routes in the country and the earlier something was done about it the better it would be for Christianity.
"I am not against preaching the word of God but I feel it must be done with decency. We must condemn those who want to use the name of God to amass wealth," he added. | 2019-04-21T08:53:46 | https://www.modernghana.com/news/52304/ban-self-styled-pastors-preaching-on-buses-apostle.html |
Education is a key factor in achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Scouting uses its non-formal education approach, the Youth Programme, to enable young people to be active global citizens that create a better world and contribute to the 2030 Agenda.
This document was created as a guide for National Scout Organisations and Scout leaders to use education for the Sustainable Development Goals in their Youth Programme.
This means asking some important questions: What are the most pressing issues in our country? How will we adapt the Youth Programme to equip Scouts with the competencies to tackle them? How can we make the learning environment Scouting offers more sustainable?
Discover in these guidelines practical guidance on why and how to create learning objectives for the SDGs, what learning opportunities can be added for scouts to learn about the goals, how other areas of Scouting can be aligned with the SDGs (governance, communications, partnerships, operations) as well as great practices from inside and outside of Scouting on education for the SDGs.
Make sure to also visit the Youth Programme service on the Services platform to find other great SDG resources and best practices !
These guidelines are part of Scouts for SDGs - an unprecedented mobilisation of our Movement that will see 50 million Scouts make the world’s largest coordinated youth contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. | 2019-04-20T14:20:28 | https://www.scout.org/SDGs-guidelines |

What's a good price for new kegs? This seems reasonable but not great, though I have no reference point. Plus, these are Chinese made but it seems like one of the more reputable companies.
The range for German- or American-made 1/2BBL kegs that I've seen is between $130-$160.
That is what I have found also.
Under most circumstance, the Brewers Association does not allow anonymous posts to the BA Forum. In the interest of keeping our members informed regarding a very serious safety situation, we have allowed the following communication to be posted on the BA Forum anonymously.
Our brewery recently experienced an explosive failure of a 2008 model plastic keg from Plastic Kegs of America. The failure occurred during the keg cleaning process. A room temperature keg was placed on the cleaning line. The keg almost immediately failed. Our employee had stepped away from the cleaning line and was standing approximately 10 to 12 feet away when explosion occurred. The employee sustained a cut leg from a fragmented piece of the keg. Another piece of the keg severed a nearby glycol line. The sound of explosion was described as a "grenade", and was heard by others throughout the brewery. All systems were operating normally with inbound pressure of compressed air regulated at or below 35 psi.
The Brewers Association has received reports of explosive failures involving kegs manufactured by Plastic Kegs of America. These kegs did not "fail safe" but rather created dangerous situations due to fragmentation of the kegs.
While we have not arrived at any final conclusions regarding plastic keg safety, the reports we have received have raised serious questions about the safety of these products. Accordingly, the BA has retained expert assistance to help us, with broad industry input, to create and promulgate appropriate keg performance and safety guidelines. Significant progress is being made on this project.
In addition, we continue to collect relevant information from brewers, manufacturers, and others, and we urge you to provide us with any further information you may have.
Please note, keg explosion incidents may be reported to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
It might be best to try to dispose of any of your PKA kegs before any accidents happen in your plant.
Wow...scary stuff. Good to know.
Stout tanks does Kegs and will stamp them for a 1 time setup charge. I havent really looked into keg prices yet but they seem reasonable, and if you buy enough could probably setup a freight pickup to offset some of their high shipping costs.
PKA is about 15% cheaper and American and Europien are about 15% more.
The reference pricing might be a great deal but I am not too much for Chinase stuff.
We recently picked up a bunch @ $114 each from gopherkegs and are happy with them. They aren't quite the weld quality of Schaefer (but they aren't quite the price either) and they typically have a better lead time and better pricing than Franke as well.
I got a couple of dozen tall 1/4 bbls from gopher kegs a few months back and have been happy with them so far. They were something like $82 each. | 2019-04-25T18:35:34 | https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/forum/index.php?topic=17110.15 |

New Delhi, March 08 (G’nY News Service): In 80per cent of Indian cities, air pollutant concentrations are well above the prescribed standards. This exposes the resident population to extremely dangerous air pollutant levels resulting in acute and chronic ailments. The impact of pollutants on agriculture, ecology, and the climate has already been well- documented.
Delhi’s air quality is particularly attracting domestic and international attention as the annual averaged concentrations of particulate matter are more than 4 times the prescribed limits and more than 12-15 times the permissible WHO guideline values. Out of more than 6 lakh mortalities attributed to air pollution, thousands occur in Delhi.
The Transport sector is a major contributor to PM2.5 concentrations in Indian cities. Registered vehicles have grown to more than 160 million in India. In Delhi, vehicles have doubled in the last decade. This growth is expected to continue for the next two decades and hence, it is imperative to control emissions from the sector.
For control of vehicular emissions, the Auto Fuel Policy 2002 laid down a road map for introduction of advanced fuel quality and emission norms in India. By 2010, while the whole country moved to BS-III norms, 13 cities (and now more than 50) have moved to BS-IV norms. Since then, there is no advancement on fuel quality and vehicular emission standards, and only recently the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) has notified the advanced BS-IV and BS-V standards to be introduced in India in 2017 and 2019, respectively. Lately, MoRTH has announced skipping of BS-V norms to move directly to BS-VI standards.
An analysis by The Energy & Resources Institute (TERI) shows that even with the most conservative emission estimates, PM and NOx levels in India will increase by 2.8 -6.4 times during 2010-2030, in a business as usual scenario.
However, introduction of BS-VI norms can limit the increase to 1.2 – 3.3 times in PM and NOx emissions (Fig. 1). Air quality simulations show that this decrease in emissions can bring significant air quality benefits on a national scale and will result in more than 17000 avoided mortalities annually from 2030 onwards.
Considering the same quality of fuel requirements for BS-V and BS-VI standards (same sulphur content of <10ppm), it makes immense sense to move directly to BS-VI standards and reduce vehicular emissions to minimal levels.
Introduction of ultra low sulphur fuels (less than 10 ppm sulphur) will facilitate the use of after treatment devices (such as diesel particle filters) in new vehicles and also as retrofits for older vehicles already in use. TERI and ICCT analysis have shown the cost-benefits of adoption of these advanced norms for reducing vehicular emissions. The monetized health benefits of advancement to BS-VI norms outweigh the costs of implementation including refinery up gradation and additional costs of controls in vehicles (Fig. 2). The initial costs of refinery up gradation can be met with a slight increase in the fuel price (less than a rupee per litre).
It took a lot of time to spread the supply of BS-VI fuels across the country; this could attribute to lack of clear timelines for implementation. The clear notification on introduction of low sulphur fuels by 2019 should help refineries to plan their activities well ahead in time.
Besides, the readiness of automobile manufacturers is required to provide BS-VI compliant vehicles equipped with customised tail-pipe controls for Indian conditions. There are concerns raised over the applicability of control devices in Indian conditions. An expert group should immediately be set up to not only decide the BS-VI norms but also to customise technologies for achieving these norms for different vehicle categories. Most importantly, the BS-VI vehicular emission norms should be notified immediately to provide sufficient time to automobile manufacturers to upgrade their manufacturing facilities as per the requirements and test the performance of the control devices in laboratory and real conditions.
A tighter vehicle management system is also needed to ensure long term compliance of vehicle emission norms, as also assess the performance of vehicles on roads. Random testing of in-use vehicular models is recommended against norms prescribed at the manufacturing stage for assessing compliance. In case of severe non-compliance by a particular model, further investigations should be carried out to assess possibilities of improvement at the manufacturing stage. The driving cycles used for testing at the manufacturing stage also needs to be looked into. | 2019-04-20T23:05:57 | https://www.geographyandyou.com/climate-change/inbriefclimate/bs-v-norms-being-skipped-in-india-implications-possibilities-and-more/ |
Can an outspoken female CFO with no aerospace background put Boeing back on course?
It's not every day that a new CFO flatly contradicts the boss in front of a reporter. Boeing Co. president and chief operating officer Harry Stonecipher had railed against the venerable program-accounting system for airliners. "You have to know the cost of the airplane as you go along the production line: what the wing costs, what every piece of the airplane costs," Stonecipher insisted with obvious frustration. "You cannot reduce the cost of a wing if you don't know where you're starting."
Asked her view, though, Deborah Hopkins disagreed. It's one of the "myths that need to be dispelled" at Boeing, the just-installed senior vice president and finance chief contended. "There's a natural tendency for people to say, 'The problem here is that employees have no idea what an airplane costs,'" she allowed. But well into what she calls "a very deep dive on the issue... I'd say that [program accounting] is not the problem."
As if that assertion weren't brash enough, the 44-year-old newcomer to the aerospace industry--just 17 days into the job--professed in a Wall Street Journal story that she'd like to replace 57-year-old chairman and CEO Phil Condit when he retires. She thereby threw her hat in the ring with those of a dozen or more others who, like all previous chief executives at this bastion of the military-industrial complex, have risen through the ranks and have, of course, been male.
Such chutzpah may sound like a formula for the brand-new Boeing CFO to crash and burn. On the other hand, Debby Hopkins may be just what the company needs. Certainly Condit and Stonecipher, who have run things as a team since the August 1997 acquisition of McDonnell Douglas Corp., say Boeing now requires such bold leadership in a CFO. The job, after all, is to provide the tools so that the legendarily stodgy legion of Boeing managers, for whom finance has always been a remote and mysterious science, can straighten up and fly right.
When Condit introduced Hopkins last December, he said she was chosen for her "successful track record as an agent of change"--not a term used lightly at Boeing--while at Unisys Corp. and later at General Motors Corp.
The stakes at the 83-year-old company have rarely been higher. For the first time ever, Boeing isn't profiting strongly from the upward curve of an airliner delivery cycle. Its $1.1 billion profit last year (all from defense and space operations) represented a total margin of only 2 percent, and followed a shocking 1997 net loss of $178 million. Europe's Airbus Industrie has turned into a formidable competitor. And takeover rumors are even starting to swirl around Boeing.
"It seems that the company has been running out of feet in which to shoot itself," says Bill Sweetman, an expert in military aviation.
"Boeing is ready" for a CFO like Hopkins, says Stonecipher, "because Boeing has a new vision and a new thrust." He sees himself as "a good enforcer" for Condit, as the CEO tries to wrench the company out of the old ways that prevailed when Boeing had no serious rivals.
Stonecipher, the former McDonnell CEO, has been a major critic of the finance department since he joined Boeing, believing that useful information was kept locked away from production-line executives. If finance did sometimes help with requested data, "they helped only after they'd said no four or five times." In Stonecipher's own case, he promised operating managers shortly after he arrived that "you're going to have all the data you need." But when he turned to then-CFO Boyd Givan to supply it, "the data wasn't there," Stonecipher says. Givan took early retirement last September, at age 62, after 32 years at Boeing, leaving Stonecipher as acting CFO until Hopkins came on board.
The 63-year-old Stonecipher, who still publicly describes the old Boeing manner as "arrogant," jokes to his managers that Hopkins will soon become as "tough" as he is, and "you will come to see me as a protective grandfather."
She may already be as tough as he is. Take Hopkins's final interview for the Boeing job last September in Zurich. "It was starting to feel like [Seattle] is really where I'm supposed to go," she says. Then, "I get this call at 11 at night, the night before I'm going to meet Harry Stonecipher." Her 18-year-old son, Patrick, staying with his grandmother in Detroit, had been hit by a car and seriously hurt, although he was out of immediate danger, Hopkins was told. With the next Detroit flight not until mid-morning, and even a corporate plane unable to get her there much quicker, she and Stonecipher agreed that keeping the breakfast appointment would "keep my mind busy" until she could fly to Patrick's bedside.
A Milwaukee native, Debby Hopkins had only a bachelor's degree from Walsh College, in Troy, Michigan, when she took her first finance positions at First National Bank of Detroit and Ford Motor Co. She credits her mother with instilling confidence in her ability to take on any job.
The defining moment of Hopkins's career was her creation of a survival plan for Unisys during its 1991 financial crisis. The then-36-year-old assistant controller was charged with quickly devising an approach that would win over the bankers. "It was a gut-wrenching experience," she says. "These workout bankers get paid to put you under." The experience taught her some lessons. "You realize there's so much potential in us, and you get to trust your instincts," she says.
James Unruh, who was Unisys CEO and Hopkins's mentor during much of her 13-year career there, believes that many finance executives "fall into the trap of focusing too tightly on the narrow definition of the financial role." The best of them, he says, "understand the dynamics of the business," and Hopkins "always embodied that."
Her grasp of business dynamics served her well as Unisys sought to solve its corporate-culture problem, transforming itself from a mainframe maker into a services business that provides systems integration. "There is no more difficult problem in business than cultural change," Unruh says, noting that Boeing has its own massive problems in that regard from acquisitions of McDonnell Douglas and the aerospace unit of Rockwell International Corp.
At Unisys, the entire product was replaced, challenging a workforce accustomed to hardware buyers with the headaches of marketing products to clients bent on negotiating each element of the service contract. Hopkins was, he says, "very quick to understand the difference."
Unruh rewarded her with several operations jobs before she stepped back into finance as corporate controller. She seemed prepared for the CFO slot, and possibly for Unruh's own CEO position. "I was clearly the lady-in-waiting" at 41, she says--when she decided to jump to GM.
The move left a bitter aftertaste for Unruh, now retired from Unisys and a founding principal of Alerion Capital Group LLC, in Scottsdale, Arizona. For one thing, "the timing was bad." For another, Unruh had invested heavily in preparing her for greater things, and "I didn't see GM as offering the same opportunities for growth. I'm not sure anger is the right word," he says, "but I was extremely disappointed."
"He yelled at me; he was just mad," says Hopkins of Unruh's reaction--until he reviewed her reasoning, and later apologized. She agrees that the job she accepted, as GM's general auditor, might have seemed a strange move. "Most people do not aspire to be the general auditor," she observes.
But GM's board members were all global captains of industry, and "in what other role do you get to sit one-on-one with the board members?" Plus, GM had a great track record of moving finance people into operating jobs, which she had desperately wanted. And the job brought her to Detroit, where she could be close to her ailing father.
As it turned out, the auditor job allowed her to deal intimately with a $400 million fraud case, and a host of problems at Adam Opel AG, the German unit of GM. A promotion in 1997 to CFO of European operations gave her insight into GM's most profitable auto business. It was designed as a prelude to an operating role back in the United States, she says. But then along came the Boeing opportunity last fall.
In judging a job's appeal, Hopkins applies what sounds almost like a personal risk-management formula. "You weigh the opportunities and risks," she says, "and what skills you bring to mitigate those risks." While she understood that Boeing was going through difficult times, the GM executive was impressed by Condit's and Stonecipher's willingness to let finance play a pivotal role in the turnaround effort.
The incentives were appealing, too. In addition to a $750,000 signing bonus, she gets a guaranteed $810,000 in salary and bonus her first year, with payments of over $2 million more possible if stock-price and other targets are reached. If she stays until age 62, Hopkins will also have 13 years of additional service tacked on to her retirement plan.
Mainly, though, she was wowed by Boeing itself. "When a company goes through tough times--and for Boeing, there have not been a ton of these--the employees usually start getting demoralized," she says. But here, a strong pro-company feeling continually boosts morale. "There is great pride; they say, 'We build such great products.' And we do."
The best approach, she says, is to build on Boeing's areas of strength. She notes that the C-17 military transport, once a seriously troubled program, won a Malcolm Baldridge quality award last year. "We've got examples of this all over the company," she says. "The challenge is that it's not across the board." But "I can feel the value bulging at the seams in this place, and we haven't found a way to tap into it."
With characteristic fearlessness, Debby Hopkins has used her first months in Seattle to address the profit-starved aerospace giant's problems with deep dives--a favorite expression of hers--even if that means surfacing with some proposals foreign to her bosses. "We used to be able to walk behind and report the results of the business," says Hopkins of the way Boeing's finance department has done business. "Now we must be out in front, identifying the risks."
The centerpiece of her effort: an evaluation of economic profit for every Boeing program. So far, this analysis shows a stunning 25 percent of the company's $13 billion in product-line investments to be value-destroying or break-even. Hopkins calls the estimates of the units' future cash flows, less cost of capital, a "launch-off point" for teaching managers about the concept of shareholder value. Hardly a radical idea--except at Boeing, where "creating a common language, a common methodology, and an idea of what goodness is," as she puts it, qualifies as revolutionary. Before, it was assumed at Boeing that "we can't really benchmark performance," she notes. "Baloney; the shareholders are doing it."
Hopkins has recognized that communicating the new profit discipline is as important as implementing it. Where her predecessors almost never granted media interviews, Hopkins has become a frank and colorful spokesperson for the company, telling analysts and journalists, for example, that any Boeing program would be "fixed or eliminated" if its economic-profit numbers slipped off the screen for long. "This isn't a flavor-of-the-month club," she said as she and Condit conducted a recent telephone press conference. "This has to do with the way we're going to run the business forever."
In another novel gesture for a Boeing CFO, Hopkins is visiting the company's airline customers around the globe. Her mission: to explain to them why Boeing must adhere to a stricter pricing policy. She believes customers need to understand that Boeing's sound fiscal health is in their best interests also. "You can't give them value and go out of business," she says.
Hopkins knows that firming up prices will take work, as air carriers play hardball with Airbus and Boeing. "I promise you," she says, "that finance will have the intestinal fortitude to say no." In fact, last year Boeing lost a big deal with British Airways to Airbus rather than back down on pricing.
On the issue of program accounting--the subject of the disagreement with Stonecipher--Hopkins has found a middle ground. Boeing will keep program accounting, but break out and explain for managers the program-accounting numbers embedded in the airliner unit's financials. It will also provide "discrete" segment cost data that managers can use to keep better track of their progress.
That approach, Hopkins says, emerged from a recent finance-staff brainstorming session. She kicked off the session by saying, "I know we're better than this. People think we're obfuscating the numbers. Give me an idea." When she saw senior manager Kevin Murphy's "eyes light up," she invited his thoughts. He came up with the idea of offering managers both accounting explanations, a suggestion she embraced. Murphy, promoted to director of general accounting since the session, says that Hopkins's leadership offers "a chance to have finance really step up and be part of the solution by helping to add value."
Of course, such innovations are necessary but not sufficient. Hopkins must also take on more-traditional challenges, like increasing the company's conservative 27 percent debt-to-capitalization ratio toward 40 percent. Other finance challenges she sees ahead involve slashing the time it takes to close Boeing's books each quarter from 13 days to 3. She is also trying to make sense of the hodgepodge of information systems at the company. "Having grown up in the information systems business is an advantage for me," she says, noting that the problems are only partly a legacy of Boeing's recent mergers. Some say the Baan enterprise resource planning software has caused difficulties because it is ill-suited to the aerospace business. But Hopkins doubts the IT issue is as simple as the conventional wisdom that "we simply have not designed the right system," she says.
"Drinking from a Fire Hose"
The establishment of the single economic-profit metric will allow managers "to walk into a Boeing facility...know exactly what those charts are going to look like, and read our performance levels." Hopkins doesn't mince words about her disdain for Stern Stewart & Co.'s economic-value-added version of economic profit. "I hate EVA," she says, because it seems designed to let "finance people demonstrate how smart they are. Our goal is to take the magic out of it."
The new CFO relishes the challenge of explaining the metric to the troops herself. A tutorial on return on net assets that she delivered at one managers' meeting won her some early raves, although she was shocked to find how little basic finance the executives understood.
Securities analysts, who had once given up on getting detailed operating information from the secretive company, are likely to be pleased as well, as they were late last year when Boeing began breaking out detailed segment data, and even forecasting future operating profit for units. Says Stonecipher, who was instrumental in revising the financial reports, "There were not 25 people in this company that had seen this data before."
The Boeing president, a long-time engineer and manager for General Electric Co.'s aircraft-engine unit, got his CFO model from GE. "The CFO is your confidant and counselor," he says, adding that he has found Hopkins to fill that role admirably. For her part, she sees herself as a "foil," who helps Stonecipher develop ideas for his chief operating officer role.
Some analysts are cautious about how much she can do for Boeing. "She shows no fear, which is very important, whether you're on the other side of a negotiating table or on the factory floor," says Howard Rubel, of Goldman, Sachs & Co. And she "has the support of all the senior executives at the company to push the collective agenda." Still, he adds, "one has to be careful about deifying anybody, because we're all human."
A Boeing finance-department veteran who asks not to be named notes that Hopkins has been "drinking out of a fire hose" to get up to speed on the aerospace business. But this person is impressed with how quickly Hopkins has won over the finance staff to her mission.
It is by making finance a player in operations that she sees the greatest chance of helping Boeing. There is hardly a corner of the vast company she doesn't want to explore, from additional revenue streams to making the company more visible in Europe through alliances and joint ventures.
"What distinguishes people like Debby is the speed with which they can grasp business problems and take hold of the levers to make things work," says her old mentor, James Unruh. But there is a flip side that may lead to trouble. "I suspect that Debby's biggest challenge will be finding that balance of a healthy level of impatience," he says.
Take her willingness to comment about the CEO job. "You have to be careful what you say, even if you believe it yourself," Unruh says. Other Boeing veterans who might think themselves in line "aren't going to be thrilled by someone who has barely found [her] way to the ladies' room wanting to take over. It would probably have been better not to have said it."
Hopkins makes no apology for her ambition, and says her remark provoked only laughter in chats with Condit and Stonecipher. "I'm this younger-ish woman in a relatively visible spot," she says, "and I'm having fun with it."
Besides, she suggests that a certain controlled impatience can be a positive. It was another lesson learned in her rush to assemble a plan to bring Unisys back from the brink, and it applies at Boeing, too. "You can study yourself into a hole," Hopkins says. "We need to get it pretty close to right, and we can engineer along the way."
Roy Harris is a senior editor at CFO.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ Congratulations, GE-Stylea After 27 years at General Electric Co., Harry Stonecipher was prepared to apply some lessons from that finance powerhouse when he became Boeing Co.'s acting CFO last fall. Lesson No. 1: Expect some ribbing from your old compatriots.
"Now I have seen everything!" GE's then-CFO, Dennis Dammerman, said in a note. "Let me know if I can help in the search--as long as it is not for one of our guys!" Dammerman recently became GE vice chairman, and CEO of its GE Capital Services unit.
A former McDonnell Douglas Corp. CEO who came to Boeing as president after their 1997 merger, Stonecipher never held a finance post during his GE years. A physicist by training, he helped develop engines, and headed the huge aircraft-engine business for GE from 1984 to 1987.
Wrote GE chairman Jack Welch in his note to Stonecipher: "CFO??? Question: 2 + 2 = ?" -- R.H.
Selling a record number of jetliners is no fun when margins are paper-thin.
This year at Boeing Co., an historic four-year aircraft production cycle will peak--traditionally, a time when revenues and profits soar. The record 620 Boeing planes to be shipped are three times the number delivered in the "trough" year of 1995. They will gross the company $38 billion.But few in Seattle are cheering. This time around, the profits didn't materialize to go with the land-office business the salespeople produced. Production problems ballooned the cost side of the equation during the ramp-up--actually closing down the 747 and 737 lines completely for a month in 1997--while sharp price competition with Airbus Industrie sapped revenues.
And the economic crisis in the enormous Asian market, the largest for the extremely profitable 747 jumbo jet, has made the slide down the other side of the peak look precipitous indeed. Boeing's expected deliveries of the $170 million planes next year: less than one-third of the previous two years' orders. On top of that come the layoffs, as many as 48,000 of them by the end of the year 2000--once again casting a pall over the Puget Sound area.
Airliners represent 60 percent of Boeing, even after the McDonnell Douglas Corp. acquisition made Boeing the world's largest aerospace company, and buying businesses from Rockwell International Corp. turned it into America's biggest NASA contractor. But 1997's airliner losses dragged Boeing into the red, and last year's paltry $63 million in operating earnings on the commercial business was nearly as embarrassing. Boeing, now much more open about forecasting profit, doesn't have much to forecast. It envisions minuscule margins of between 1 percent and 3 percent this year and next.
What happened to the once-prolific airliner earnings machine? And did CFO Boyd Givan, who was ushered into early retirement last year, have anything to do with it? "It's easy to point a finger," says Charles W. L. Hill, chair of the department of management and organization at the University of Washington's business school, "but what really happened is that they planned for one world, and they got another."
He interprets Boeing's problems in the 1990s as a convergence of global challenges to the old jetliner markets it once dominated, compounded by monumental bad timing. Boeing went through a downsizing cycle in the early 1990s. At the same time, it launched an efficiency-oriented program to reduce its supplier base, and rolled out its all-new 777 jetliner. It also began initiating an ambitious series of information-technology programs throughout the corporation--including the introduction of its Baan enterprise resource planning software--which, together, led to confusion and waste in the early stages.
"Then, all of a sudden," says Hill, "the orders began coming in much faster than anyone had expected," creating "the mother of all ramp-ups" on the production lines. Wooing back those fired employees and lost suppliers was difficult and extremely expensive. But Boeing's ambition seemed unbounded. And when the opportunity to buy McDonnell and the space operations of Rockwell presented itself, Boeing felt it had to jump. And digesting such major operations--especially those of McDonnell, which has never overcome the culture clash from combining the straitlaced St. Louis military-airplane business with the more-entrepreneurial California Douglas airliner business--took its toll.
Meanwhile, Airbus Industrie was coming of age, learning to control costs and steal markets away for a growing family of Airbus products aimed directly at the weak spots in Boeing's own family. Where once Boeing's price set the standard rivals had to match, now airline customers found Airbus offering bargains--and pushed Boeing to match them, sometimes unprofitably. Dealing with McDonnell Douglas's struggling MD-11 program didn't help; Boeing last year decided to phase out the wide-body model.
Hill believes that trying to protect its "God-given 60 percent of the market" led Boeing astray. "If it had held the line on pricing and given up market share," he says, "it would probably be a Wall Street darling right now."
As for the role of ex-CFO Givan, and a Boeing finance department that rarely got involved in strategic thinking, one finance executive says that had always been Boeing's culture. Sharing financial data across the company simply wasn't done, and there was no thought to using data "to give people a line of sight on what they were doing for the company." Adds new CFO Debby Hopkins: "For a long time, Boeing kept making its numbers," even though its line managers lacked the basic financial data by which to measure their performance. Then, when competition forced the managers to boost their units' performance, they found the numbers weren't available, and in any case weren't understood.
"We created a business model," says Hopkins, "where people said, 'I guess that's not my business.'" -- R.H.
How program accounting and discrete costing compare.
Program-accounting numbers are based on an "initial quantity" that allows reasonable cost and revenue averaging assumptions and that reflects Boeing's projections of the existing market for a plane. ( For the 777 aircraft, the quantity was 400.) R&D is expensed as incurred; tooling costs are amortized and absorbed in the cost of sales over the initial quantity.
Elements of both accounting methods will now be reported more widely to production managers, and in external financial statements, under a plan drawn up by CFO Debby Hopkins. --R.H. | 2019-04-21T18:13:40 | https://channels.theinnovationenterprise.com/articles/fearless-in-seattle |
I got inducted into Phi Theta Kappa Tuesday night. What a lovely night that was.
There were a few great speakers. Their speeches were short and to the point. The last one though was drawn out. I mean, she had good intentions, but she just rambled on and on about the innovation of technology. She just got boring to listen to, in my opinion anyway. Other than that, the ceremony was enjoyable.
I was the first one to receive my award. I went up there and got congratulated by five or six people, including the president of the college. Then the other students received their awards. Let me put the significance of the award in prospective for you. The college has approximately 8,000 students and only 1% of the student body got inducted into Phi Theta Kappa. One percent…that’s it. Now comes the hard part-staying in the honor society.
Other people with disabilities should be more aggressive about succeeding in life. Too many of them sit around feeling sorry for themselves. If more people with disabilities succeeded, America would be a better place.
It was a hectic week this week besides it being my birthday on Tuesday. First, I had to register for summer classes so that I can graduate next spring. Then I had to do my fall and summer classes. I’m taking one online class, Intro to Journalism, and one on campus, Life Span and Development. I’m really looking forward to both my summer classes.
For the fall, I’m taking 4 classes. I’m taking State and Local Government, Art Appreciation, Studies of Short Stories and Modern Fiction. It may seem tedious, but it seems like an interesting group of classes. Filling that fourth time slot was tough since I didn’t know what to take. First, my adviser suggested a music class, but then I switched it to Modern Fiction. I’m looking forward to it. | 2019-04-24T15:57:56 | http://heatherklippel.com/2013/04/ |

Data centre consolidation is an on-going process as businesses and technology constantly evolve. A strategy focused on considered and phased approach will be crucial for success.
periodic pruning, reorganisation and consolidation to optimise efficiency and provide the greatest value to the company. In so doing, IT teams need to develop a clear strategy for keeping data centre consolidation efforts on track.
In this tip, expert Hamish Macarthur explains what drives data centre consolidation and offers advice on how IT professionals should embark on an on-going data centre strategy.
The excitement of new applications, emerging technologies and green field site development is quickly replaced with the need to maintain, update and upgrade systems to keep the business operational, competitive and servicing customers.
The result of data centre growth is that different practices develop to support different sites, different business units and applications. Technologies were selected for good reasons in the past, with new developments offering a new richness of options. But, over time, growth can show a dark side. Changing business and technological needs, personnel turnover, regulatory changes and other external and internal factors can fragment the data centre. The best response is to consolidate processes, technologies, locations and suppliers in order to improve manageability and have more flexibility going ahead.
Consolidating physical locations can reduce overhead and operational costs associated with multiple data centre locations or reduce data centre energy costs.
Consolidating software onto fewer hardware platforms can reduce hardware maintenance costs and software licencing fees.
Consolidation can reduce the number of server, storage and network (hardware) units to be purchased, leading to lower acquisition and finance costs.
Consolidating core business applications such as order processing, inventory management, invoicing or management reports makes support and upgrades easier. So rather than having multiple email or database platforms for various departments, pick one and make it serve the entire organisation.
Consolidation can simplify and reduce errors in system processes such as data protection services, security, network services, system discovery and management.
Consolidation should also examine the business processes themselves and redefine roles and procedures to best utilise computing resources and IT staffing talent.
Changes in the business often drive data centre consolidation. These changes can include reorganisation, acquisition of new businesses that need to be integrated, introduction of new business units, new ways of transacting business, interfacing with customers and suppliers and complying with new industry or legal guidelines.
The reality is that chief information officers and data centre managers must have a clear strategy as to how the system infrastructure can and will be consolidated. Without such a plan in place, the inevitable system silos will continue and system sprawl will become a real challenge.
The IT strategy must be in line with the business goals and the course along which the business is being directed. One of the key goals of IT evolution is to stop being a line item cost to the business, and start emerging as a partner that can add value and create opportunities for the business.
Let’s look at an example. Consider a business establishing itself in a new geography. The IT systems would need to be replicated for the data centre located in the new area. Yet, the business imperative was to be fully operational within a three-month time frame. Without any spare space within the existing data centres, constructing a new data centre, which would take 9 to 12 months, would not be possible in that time frame. The way forward would be to consolidate existing resources in order to support the additional resources needed.
Consolidating servers and storage arrays can release floor space. A company could complete that whole task in a much shorter period, enabling the new business to develop without any drag from IT -- a positive boost to all concerned within the business units and the IT department.
When consolidating resources or processes, there should be no surprises. Use system discovery tools to map the system infrastructure and identify the hardware and software elements. Then, IT will have to illustrate where and what data is being stored. Above all, the plan must ensure that changes in the system infrastructure will not cause a loss or degradation of current services.
Virtualisation is a key element of a data centre consolidation strategy. Many organisations have been consolidating their system infrastructure and data centres over the last ten years. When properly implemented, infrastructure consolidation can reduce server inventories by factors of three to five, but even more consolidation is possible when virtualisation is also considered.
Consider implementing a converged network architecture, installing Fibre Channel or iSCSI networks to connect servers and storage. This approach simplifies and accelerates the consolidation of server and storage resources and delivers better utilisation of all physical assets. It also sets the framework for virtualisation to take system consolidation one step further.
Taking a considered and phased approach to consolidation is key to success. This must tie in with the business requirements and changes that are known as well as unknown. Flexibility is required to enable IT to respond to evolving business demands.
The stages of establishing and reviewing the consolidation strategy will include all elements of the infrastructure, applications and service delivery. For example, introducing video services will have implications, not only on the network but also on the storage, security and the servers supporting them within the data centre.
Migrate the infrastructure to a set of shared, networked and virtualised platforms.
Identify specific infrastructure support applications such as security, data protection, office services and email.
Review alternative approaches to ensure that implementations are future-ready.
Study information management platforms such as databases, file systems and archival requirements to ensure they are sustainable and deliver the required access of information resources securely.
Build these platforms with a view to de-risking the consolidation of business critical applications often viewed as the last or more complex environments to consolidate.
Evaluate vendors to simplify the acquisition, support and maintenance requirements, with a view to reducing the number of suppliers to a manageable level.
Data centre consolidation delivers real returns. Embarking along this route ensures systems are aligned to the business and enables new technologies such as virtualisation and cloud services to be evaluated and implemented effectively. | 2019-04-24T08:43:35 | https://www.computerweekly.com/tip/Data-centre-consolidation-Developing-an-on-going-strategy |

It’s easy to fall prey to negative thinking. Your mind is really good at taking your fears and doubts and amplifying them. Negative thinking, unfortunately comes easily, automatically and most often, uninvited into your thoughts.
Eliminating negative thinking is Step 7 of my 21 Steps to Success Guaranteed to Change Your Life Forever. Positive thoughts are essential to living a much richer, happier and successful life!
Negative thinking hinders you from positivity. You can’t be negative and positive at the same time! Simply put, what you focus on, you attract and by focusing on what’s wrong in your life, you will attract and create more of it.
Re-frame/change the occurrence or thought to a good one.
Remind yourself even when things may seem bad, that worrying about them, focusing or creating those crazy stories in your head, will not help.
Don’t let it build up. You wouldn’t leave dirty dishes or trash to build up in your home would you? Think of those negative thoughts as trash that needs to go before it builds up and gets worse.
Make a conscious effort to correct your thinking. Think about it, if you are watching something horrific on television that you just do not want to see… what do you do? You change the channel… or you turn it off.
Address anxiety, fears and any underlying issues that may lead to constant negative thoughts.
Mark Victor Hansen and Robert Allen in their book, One Minute Millionaire have an interesting trick for negative thinking. They suggest keeping an elastic band on your wrist and whenever you find yourself having a negative thought to pull the elastic!
Bottom line is that your negative thinking is not helping you rather is hindering your success. Choose to live a more positive, richer and enjoyable life.
I agree whole heartily. We are surrounded by the negative today. Too many believe that negative is the new normal.
To be successful in business and in life my mentor said that we must walk away from the 97 percent.
Negative and positive can not occupy the same space at the same time. One will rule at a time, so we must work to stay positive. Today’s parents really have a rough time; censors were fired some time ago. H.G.M.
“If you can look up you can get up”… I like that Robert! Thanks for commenting. I appreciate it!
great post. i do agree that negative unfourtunally have a stronger effect than posetive thinking and that exaclly why its so importeant with mastermind. “get the trash out” as oyu write.. thanks for that!
Difficult but not impossible. I sometimes use EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique.) I don’t think you ever eliminate it completely Garry but we can learn to respond differently and get better at it with consistency.
Thank you Tereza, as this article is paramount to any person who wants to succeed and live a passion driven life.

In a few weeks, mail processing by the U.S. Postal Service will come to an end in Cape Girardeau, which employees of the center say could lead to longer waits for letter and package deliveries.
April 18 is the official end date given to employees for mail processing at the Richard G. Wilson Processing and Distribution Facility at 475 Kell Farm Drive in Cape Girardeau, said Greg Davidson, president of American Postal Workers Union Local 4088.
St. Louis facilities will absorb all mail-processing responsibilities, leaving the Cape Girardeau facility as only a distribution hub.
The change in local operations comes as the U.S. Postal service is working through a second phase of consolidation, also called a “network rationalization,” that began in January and will end in the fall. The overall consolidation of the postal service that began in 2012 includes shifting processing, or origination and dissemination of mail, from more than 200 facilities across the country in an effort to save up to $800 million annually.
The current round of cutbacks includes 82 facilities, two of which are in Missouri. A Springfield, Missouri, facility will see changes similar to Cape Girardeau’s.
Customers in Southeast Missouri already have noticed slowdowns in mail delivery, Davidson said, since a rule change Jan. 5 allowed for first-class mail delivery standards to be lengthened.
Now with processing going away, he said, additional delays are likely, as the Cape Girardeau facility no longer will see mail coming from ZIP codes that begin with “636” or “639” and will be handling mail only from ZIP codes starting with “637” and “638,” but it will be put on a truck and sent to St. Louis before coming back to be delivered.
Davidson pointed to the recent loss of the city of Desloge, Missouri, water bills by the postal service and known delays elsewhere.
“That’s the kind of service problem we are setting ourselves up for, but in more places,” he said.
The changes in Cape Girardeau aren’t expected to prompt job losses, but about 35 employees will have to take other positions.
Local employees, such as clerks, are bidding on carrier jobs, Davidson said, but the number of positions is limited, and the process takes some time.
A postal service spokesperson in November said the nationwide consolidation is necessary because more than 50 percent of the postal service’s stamped, first-class letter volume has declined in the past decade, and the service’s infrastructure is too large.
Davidson said area employees view themselves as public servants and detest the idea of slower mail delivery.
The service standard changes that took effect in January do not affect packages, medicine sent in any form and standard mail, which is primarily advertising, according to the postal service.
A postal service spokesman did not return a call Monday with a date confirmation for changes in Cape Girardeau, but a consolidation schedule released by the postal service shows the facility’s processing operations starting in St. Louis on Saturday.
The Cape Girardeau processing and distribution facility is separate from the post office on Frederick Street.
