Diffeomorphic deformation is a popular choice in medical image registration. A fundamental property of diffeomorphisms is in vertibility, implying that once the relation between two points A to B is found, then the relation B to A is given per definition. Consistency is a measure of a numerical algorithm's ability to mimic this invertibility, and achieving consistency has proven to be a challenge for many state-of-the-art algorithms. | 2019-04-19T22:39:24 | https://di.ku.dk/Ansatte/?pure=da%2Fpublications%2Fcollocation-for-diffeomorphic-deformations-in-medical-image-registration(5cefbcc6-9fdc-4442-8810-269ea2821b36).html |

Villa Camomila is located in the area of Son Bou known as Torre Soli Nou, a mere 5 minute drive from the longest beach on the island. Son Bou Centre is 1 mile away and, with its huge choice of shops, cafes, bars, restaurants and even the ruins of a Roman Basilica, it has something for everyone. You'll have everything you need close at hand, and several family attractions and sightseeing opportunities are within easy reach by car.
There is a handy mini market within a 5 minute walk for daily essentials. The centre of Son Bou is 1 mile from Villa Camomila where you'll find numerous gift and beachwear shops, as well as stores selling toys, leather goods, jewellery and other local crafts. Ferreries town is around 20 minutes' drive inland, which has a Jaume Mascaro factory shop - one of the island's most famous manufacturers of traditional Menorcan leather shoes.
The centre of Son Bou is packed with a diverse selection of places to eat, ranging from British and Indian to Chinese and Mediterranean. There are also several cocktail bars which stay open late into the night.
Son Bou Beach is the longest beach in Menorca, with a large expanse of soft golden sand backed by protected wetlands, home to several species of bird. Because of this, there is only one entrance to the beach, at the far east side, within a few minutes' walk of Son Bou Centre. Sunbeds and parasols can be hired and a couple of good cafes can be found by the seafront.
Menorca has no shortage of family attractions. Son Bou Beach is great for snorkelling, or, further afield, you can visit the popular Lloc de Menorca Zoo, or any of the island's 3 waterparks, the nearest being Splash! in Biniancolla, 30 minutes' drive away.
Keen history buffs might like to visit the nearby caves or the ruins of the Roman Basilica at the far eastern end of the beach, around 10 minutes' walk from the resort centre. Or, why not venture to the ruins of Torre d'en Galmes Talaiotic Village, around 10 minutes' drive away? Further afield you can visit Monte Toro, Menorca's highest peak, which has breathtaking views of the island, as well as a good gift shop and cafe. Alternatively, you can also enjoy a daytrip to either Ciutadella in the west or Mahon in the east - both towns have a huge choice of shops and restaurants, a beautiful harbour and a lively street market.
Menorca's only golf course is located in Son Parc, 25 minutes' drive north.
Menorca may be small but it has lots of things going on and various places to visit. The beach offers kayaking, water-skiing, banana boats and pedaloes, plus horse riding facilities, walking trails and cycle paths can all be found nearby. The central position of Son Bou on the South Coast means any of the island's alternative holiday resorts can be reached within 45 minutes by car.

The Web is becoming a more effective tool over time to classify businesses than traditional industry classification schemes. The competitors I had three months ago are not necessarily the competitors I’m going to have three months from now -- or even today -- because business changes at the speed of light, as the Internet pumps information around the world and business strategies change on a dime.

Internet search has been around for years, while seeking out new business partners is as old as business itself. Can finding the right relationships through the burgeoning "Business Web" effectively exploit and leverage the increasingly powerful technologies such as semantic search?
Are businesses on the doorstep of vast new opportunities for the discovery of assets, resources, tacit knowledge and global business partner ecologies? To help answer these questions, I recently moderated a sponsored podcast on the new semantic search opportunity and explored how business relationships and the Business Web can be brought to bear on information overload and ecommerce value discovery.
Joining me for the discussion are Russ Glass, vice president of product and marketing at ZoomInfo, and John Blossom, president of Shore Communications and a noted industry analyst.
Search engines have become a natural first point for not just Googling individuals to find general information or haphazard information, but to solve real, specific business and sales problems. In today’s environment, with so much information being published by individuals and institutions, search engines don’t necessarily provide the level of filtering that the average businessperson needs to be able to do solve problems effectively.
Businesses are getting much more intelligent about how they use the Web to present themselves as not just companies with shareware sites, but as publishers that provide in-depth information about their activities. At the same time, individuals in business are learning how to expose themselves through that instrument also.
Why bother? Well, our research shows that most people in business start on the open Web when they’re trying to solve a business problem and find business information, as opposed to going to internal subscription services. Certainly, subscription content is still a very important part of the equation, but many people -- knowing that companies are out there publishing information on the Web -- are going out to search engines to find the answers to their business questions.
Business publications and corporations are all beginning to latch onto this idea and to use Web 2.0-style publishing to be able to reach people. We have individuals out there in business with Weblogs. We have CEO’s with Weblogs. We have PR departments with Weblogs. Everybody is pushing out and trying to engage the world in a conversation. Now, with all that information out there, the question is how we structure it. What we’re beginning to see in the Web environment is the use of more sophisticated content extraction technologies and analytics to be able to take those relationships and to present them more effectively to information systems.
There is a great example that Don Tapscott uses in his new book, Wikinomics. He talks about a gold mining company up in Canada that recognized all of a sudden that they had all sorts of potential deposits of gold, but they had no idea exactly where they were, and they wanted to get at them most efficiently. Their CEO happened to go to a seminar that was talking about open-source software and Linus Torvald's development of Linux.
He said to himself, “Well, let’s open-source our functions." He put all of their normally secretive information about geology and mineralogy, mineral deposits that were on that property, and he put it out on the open Web and asked people to find the gold. He put out a little reward money. They got input from over 1,000 people, and doubled the yield of that property in just a matter of weeks. ... The wisdom of crowds.

Just before his shooting spree at two Christchurch, New Zealand mosques, the alleged mass murderer posted a hate-filled manifesto on several file-sharing sites, and emailed the document to at least 30 people, including New Zealand's prime minister. He also posted on several social media sites links to the manifesto and instructions on how to find his Facebook profile to watch an upcoming video. The video turned out to be a 17-minute Facebook livestream of preparing for and carrying out the first attack on March 15. In his posts, the accused killer urged people to make copies of the manifesto and the video, and share them around the internet.
On March 23, the New Zealand government banned possession and sharing of the manifesto, and shortly thereafter arrested at least two people for having shared the video. By then, the original manifesto document and video file had long since been removed from the platforms where they were first posted. Yet plenty of people appear to have taken the shooter's advice, making copies and spreading them widely.
To find as many different versions of the manifesto as possible, I chose an unusual keyphrase, called a "hapax legomenon" in computational linguistics: a set of words that would only be found in the manifesto and nowhere else. For example, Google-searching the phrase "Schtitt uses an unamplified bullhorn" reveals that this phrase is used only in David Foster Wallace's novel "Infinite Jest" and nowhere else online (until now).
A few minutes of Google-searching for a hapax from the manifesto (which I'm intentionally not revealing) found copies of the document in Microsoft Word and Adobe PDF formats on dozens of file-sharing services, including DocDroid, DocumentCloud, Scribd, Mega and Dropbox. The file had been uploaded to blogs hosted on Wordpress and attached to message boards like Kiwi Farms. I also found numerous broken links to files that had been uploaded and quickly deleted, like the original versions that the author had uploaded to Mediafire and Zippyshare.
Any change to a file – even a small one like adding a single letter to the manifesto or one extra second of video – will result in an entirely different file hash. All those changes made my analysis of the spread of these artifacts difficult – and also complicated social media companies' efforts to rid the internet of them.
Despite the internet companies' claims that these problems will disappear as artificial intelligence matures, a collection of "alt-tech" companies are working to ensure that hate-fueled artifacts like the manifesto and video can spread unbidden.
Just 24 hours after the mosque attacks, Monster explained on Gab that he shared the manifesto and video file onto IPFS, or the "Interplanetary File System," a decentralized peer-to-peer file sharing network. Files on IPFS are split into many pieces, each distributed among many participants on the network, making the removal of a file nearly impossible. IPFS had previously been a niche technology, relatively unknown even among extremists. Now, calling IPFS a "crazy clever technology" that makes files "effectively uncensorable," Monster reassured Gab users that he was also developing software to make IPFS "easy for anyone ... with no technical skills required."
As in-person hate groups were sued into obscurity in the 1980s, extremism went underground. But with the advent of the commercial internet, hate groups quickly moved online, and eventually onto social media. The New Zealand attacker was part of a far-right social media "meme" culture, where angry men (and some women) justify their grievances with violent, hateful rhetoric.
Widespread adoption of artificial intelligence on platforms and decentralized tools like IPFS will mean that the online hate landscape will change once again. Combating online extremism in the future may be less about "meme wars" and user-banning, or "de-platforming," and could instead look like the attack-and-defend, cat-and-mouse technical one-upsmanship that has defined the cybersecurity industry since the 1980s.

Saint Peter (Latin: Petrus, Greek: Πέτρος Petros, Syriac/Aramaic: ܫܸܡܥܘܿܢ ܟܹ݁ܐܦ݂ܵܐ, Shemayon Keppa, Hebrew: שמעון בר יונה Shim'on Bar Yona; died c. 64 AD), also known as Simon Peter, Simeon, or Simōn, according to the New Testament, was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus Christ, leaders of the early Christian Church. The Roman Catholic Church considers him to be the first Pope, ordained by Jesus in the "Rock of My Church" dialogue in Matthew 16:18. The ancient Christian churches all venerate Peter as a major saint and associate him with founding the Church of Antioch and later the Church in Rome, but differ about the authority of his various successors in present-day Christianity.
The New Testament indicates that Peter was the son of John (or Jonah or Jona) and was from the village of Bethsaida in the province of Galilee or Gaulanitis. His brother Andrew was also an apostle. According to New Testament accounts, Peter was one of twelve apostles chosen by Jesus from his first disciples. Originally a fisherman, he played a leadership role and was with Jesus during events witnessed by only a few apostles, such as the Transfiguration. According to the gospels, Peter confessed Jesus as the Messiah, was part of Jesus's inner circle, thrice denied Jesus, and preached on the day of Pentecost.
According to Christian tradition, Peter was crucified in Rome under Emperor Nero Augustus Caesar. It is traditionally held that he was crucified upside down at his own request, since he saw himself unworthy to be crucified in the same way as Jesus. Tradition holds that he was crucified at the site of the Clementine Chapel. His mortal remains are said to be those contained in the underground Confessio of St. Peter's Basilica, where Pope Paul VI announced in 1968 the excavated discovery of a first-century Roman cemetery. Every June 29 since 1736, a statue of Saint Peter in St. Peter's Basilica is adorned with papal tiara, ring of the fisherman, and papal vestments, as part of the celebration of the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul. According to Catholic doctrine, the direct papal successor to Saint Peter is Pope Francis.
Two general epistles in the New Testament are ascribed to Peter; however, some biblical scholars reject the Petrine authorship of both. The Gospel of Mark was traditionally thought to show the influence of Peter's preaching and eyewitness memories. Several other books bearing his name – the Acts of Peter, Gospel of Peter, Preaching of Peter, Apocalypse of Peter, and Judgment of Peter – are considered by Christian churches as apocryphal.

It’s near impossible to convince most people to NOT kill the spiders they see in their home. Most spiders are harmless and actually quite useful.
Unfortunately peoples first response when seeing these little arachnoids is to kill them. These little creatures can help your home in a big way.
“How So?!” you may ask… Pest control!
They serve as very effective pest control! Most spiders found in the home have no interest in you and will only go after common indoor pests, such as Roaches, Earwigs, Mosquitoes, Flies and Clothes Moths. If left alone, Spiders will consume most of the insects in your home, providing effective home pest control.
It’s totally understandable that you don’t want too many spiders in your home. Cobwebs can be unsightly. If you see a spider and don’t want it in your home, be kind and relocate it outside your home.
Most common types of house spiders are harmless to humans, but there are exceptions so be sure to learn which are dangerous and which are harmless.
Let us know what you think about this and pass this important information on to your friends and loved ones so they don’t kill the harmless spiders either! | 2019-04-24T07:47:27 | https://www.trevorsnook.com/why-you-should-never-kill-a-spider-in-your-home/ |

Kyle was born on June 12, 1980 and was raised near Cheyenne, Wyoming. Kyle’s training with the arts began very early, but with no formal regimen in place. His talent and interest was recognized early by his parents and they nurtured and encouraged this passion. He had very intelligent art teachers throughout his school years that taught him the fundamentals and principals of art, but also had the ability to let Kyle run with things when they saw the chance versus forcing him into their view of “good art”. Kyle also enjoyed the competition that came with athletics, including cross country, basketball, and track. But it was around the age of 13 that he can remember having a strong interest building towards painting animals in particular.
At the age of 16 Kyle began taking workshops from artists making a living from their work. Some notable teachers were artists named Terry Isaac, Daniel Smith, and Paco Young. Kyle began to heavily study the works of those who painted wildlife in a realistic manner and in the medium of acrylics. He used acrylics for five to six years following this time and recalls it as being a great way to continue his improvement with drawing and layering with paint. Acrylic dries very quickly and made the layering process more efficient.
Paco Young was very influential with Kyle’s development. It was Paco that really hammered home on how important it was to get outside and paint from life. Painting in the field altered the way Kyle sees, not only his subjects, but how it can help an artist to make a more pleasing painting. This method will, over time, train your eye to become accustomed to how actual life appears to the human eye/brain.
Every year, Kyle’s tastes with painting and art continue to evolve through practice and study. This isn’t something forced, but rather a product of time and passion, bordering on obsession. We invite you to join Kyle on this journey and make some discoveries of your own. Kyle’s work can be found in Jackson, Wyoming and Scottsdale, Arizona. A few, select paintings have been chosen for publication by Somerset Fine Art. | 2019-04-22T19:59:38 | https://www.cdagalleries.com/kyle-sims.html |
Google has said that they’ve adjusted how they estimate how many pages of a website are found in their search index.
A day after Google came out with this statement, the Google Index Status report updated, which resulted in the reported numbers going back to the old count.
Barry Schwartz asked Google why would they decided to go back tot he old count if the newer lower count number was more accurate.
In a Google hangout, which took place on September 8th, John Mueller of Google answered Barry’s question, saying that the timing of the release was just a coincidence. Not only did they update how they estimate index saturation of a website, but at the same time, Google had a bug in their Index Status report. It was because of this bug that the drop in index count was so significant back then.
“I think that was just a normal data glitch. Something got messed up with the counts, and we kind of showed that in Search Console. | 2019-04-20T17:18:35 | https://thrivesearch.com/google-adjusted-how-they-show-index-count-estimates/ |
Welcome to 1968 2.0, the new and improved chaos, featuring a cutting edge assault on our foundational principles by an idiot elite that thinks it can gut the rule of law without consequence. Time to reboot, to wipe the hard drive and reload the factory software coded two-plus centuries ago by those dead white male geniuses.
Except I don’t think this country’s elite has the character, nor understands our constitutional technology enough, to do it. I think it fails to appreciate what is going on outside its cloisters, among those weird, patriotic, religious, and – significantly – armed people living in uncool places between the coasts. I think it believes this anger is a passing fad, that it can bluff and bully its way through it the way it did to previous challenges to its rule.
Obama and the progressive elite were not satisfied merely with exonerating the clearly guilty Hillary Clinton of charges that would have sent any mere mortal to the slammer. They had to shove it in our faces. The AG met with Bill Clinton. Then the FBI director laid out a devastating case, followed by an “and…nope.” Then President Faily McWorsethancarter swept her away in Air Force One – at our expense – to campaign with her and even placed her at a podium with the presidential seal while the liberal media thrilled and quivered. This is beyond mere corruption. This is them gloating over what they see as their unassailable power. This is them laughing at us.
Then Obama made yet another speech telling us how cops are racist. Understand that his attacks on cops are an attack on all of us normal Americans. Like soldiers, the police come from the ranks of us normal Americans, not the elite. And just as with soldiers, we normals revere cops as symbolic of the best of how we see ourselves – loyal, brave, patriotic protectors of order and decency. Obama – the guy who immediately assumed a Cambridge cop acted “stupidly” – as well as Hillary Clinton and the liberal elite, attacked cops as racist and evil as surrogates for attacking us as racist and evil.
And then yet another racial malcontent went on a shooting spree. The Los Angeles cop killer, the Virginia TV reporter, and now this creep in Dallas, all full of racist hate, and not one damn word about it from the elite. The motive hurt the narrative; they wanted to talk about cops oppressing people, so the elite simply lied by its silence about the Dallas killer’s expressly racist motive. And their media love-slaves obliged; when it became clear that this clown who couldn’t make E4 after six years was essentially just a Black Lives Matter supporter in a hurry, the story faded away.
But the lies did not fade away. Obama came out, feigned ignorance about motive (“We many never know what motivated the guy who expressly said that he was motivated by a desire to murder white cops.”), and blamed us yet again – this time for our stubborn refusal to disarm ourselves to please people who hate us and who refuse to acknowledge what drives those who say outright that they intend to murder us.
Did Obama try unity? Of course not – he divided Americans into the good ones who agree with him and us bad ones who refuse to kneel and bow. Leftists don’t want unity and they don’t want peace. Community organizers succeed when they divide; they need discord and hate to survive. Understand that all this discord and hate is not a bug. To them, it is a feature.
And this strategy is really, really dumb. It’s dumb because this country is not one big Chicago. It’s not one discrete, dysfunctional tumor surrounded by healthy tissue. The progressives can afford to play their games in the Chicagos and Austins and Berkeleys because outside the city limits there are normals of every race, color, and creed whose work feeds and powers and defends the elite’s urban petri dishes of blue model failure. They can live out their lefty fantasies because we normals subsidize them through our normalcy, like parents from Orange County paying tuition at Oberlin so their blonde daughter can learn how there’s no such thing as gender while she majors in Anti-Colonialist Pottery.
But what happens when they try to do that to the whole country? This time, the normals can’t just move away. Instead of driving them out, now the elite has to suppress normal Americans in place. They don’t realize that they are putting our backs against the wall.
And you have to wonder – have the elites considered their endgame? Because they may have learned the wrong lesson when they drove all the normals out of the Chicagos and Austins and Berkeleys. They may actually believe that normal Americans can just be bullied and badgered into submission. This is a very, very, very dangerous notion.
See how that works out, but check your dental coverage first. Now, think about how that strategy is going to work out in our country as a whole.
What’s the endgame here, liberals? Do you see over half the country just . . . giving up? Surrendering? Throwing in the towel once you have sufficiently nagged and insulted them? Or do you see them getting mad? Your media lackeys keep attributing phenomena like Trump and even Sanders to “anger.” Well, yeah. Right now, they are expressing that anger through legitimate means, at the ballot box. But what happens when you decide you’re going to step outside the law once again to ensure that their lawful expression of that anger is silenced?
Do you expect that normals will just shrug and submit? What if they don’t? How many of the 60,000-70,000 guns Americans buy every single day do you elites purchase?
What’s the endgame? What happens when – and the day will come – the normals say “No?” Does the elite try force? There’s no doubt it would if it could, but in the end, it needs to ask itself another question: Exactly who is willing to fight and die for their liberal Utopia? The elitists themselves? Their snowflakey kids Kaden and Ashleigh? Do they think they can pay enough people to suit up and go make people conform? How much money will you need to pay somebody to risk his skin to go down to Texas and try to take those Lone Star knuckle-draggers’ guns?
Oh, this is crazy talk! Hey, another right winger threatening rebellion! You know, the elite’s tactics of attacking strawmen and deliberately lying about political opponents pioneered by Obama and the Jon Stewart clones makes reasoned discussion almost impossible, and the malicious dishonesty underlying these ploys only ratchets up the anger. Eliminate the legitimate modes of opposition and you’ll leave only illegitimate modes of opposition.
I am not advocating the consequences that I see coming from the elite’s actions; to say so is a lie, though I suspect that will not stop them from lying about this column in the comments and elsewhere. I am only predicting the likely consequences of the elite’s unwise and malicious campaign against those it hates and seeks to rule.
But here is another way. Step back from the brink and reboot. Stop the corruption. Embrace the rule of law. Listen to those you have ignored. Hear what they say. Drop the divisive initiatives designed to humiliate and bring normals to heel – the gun grabs, the bathroom edicts, the Christian cake baker pogroms.
But if you can’t do that, if you can’t give up the money and the power, if the joy of inflicting petty oppressions and humiliations upon the people you look down on is just too satisfying to pass up, then ask yourself: What is your endgame?
Powerful and accurate, Rufus. Lays down pretty clearly the battle lines for the next Civil War.
Yeah, it was a long article but I went ahead and posted it all rather than just the link because I didn't know what to leave out.
This part does bear repeating, though.
The guy's a good writer.
Here's hoping there are enough normals to effect a reboot.
Good to see you, algernonpj. Hope you're enjoying a speedy recovery.

Gammex Inc. appeals the district court's entry of judgment on Dunbar Medical Systems Inc.'s fraudulent inducement claim, arguing that two clauses in the parties' settlement agreement or Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 11 bar that claim. Gammex further contends that the court erred in finding that there was no intent to perform at the time the alleged misrepresentationswere made, in awarding punitive damages given the existence of contract language barring the recovery of such damages, in awarding punitive damages given the elements of fraud had not been proved by clear and convincing evidence, and in awarding pre-judgment interest on both compensatory and punitive damages. We affirm the entry of judgment and the award of punitive damages, and reform the judgment solely to clarify the pre-judgment interest award.
Gammex Inc. is a manufacturer of teleradiology equipment, which is used to digitize data from a medium such as x-ray film or ultrasound and to transmit those data to a remote unit for purposes of medical review and diagnosis. Until 1994, Ms. Linda Dunbar, president and sole shareholder of Dunbar Medical Systems, Inc. ("DMSI"), was an independent distributor of teleradiology equipment for Gammex.1 A by-product of the dissolution of the parties' relationship was a lawsuit, filed by Gammex on April 28, 1994, in which Gammex sought return of equipment and damages ("1994 Litigation"). In February 1995, DMSI filed a counterclaim asserting breach of contract, fraud, defamation, and various other claims against Gammex. Shortly before trial, the parties executed a Settlement Agreement. That Agreement is the focus of the case before us.
Discussions leading up to the execution of the Settlement Agreement occurred between December 1995 and July 1996. In December, the parties participated in unsuccessful court-ordered mediation. Sometime thereafter, Ms. Margaret Lescrenier, a vice-president of Gammex, telephoned Ms. Dunbar to discuss settlement terms, including the possibility of transferring equipment to DMSI in lieu of cash. The district court found that in that conversation, Ms. Dunbar told Ms. Lescrenier that she did not want to consider older Courier II units because they had software and hardware defects.2 According to Ms. Dunbar, Ms. Lescrenier assured her that the units would be new and come from the latest run of fifty manufactured by Gammex and would be problem free. A follow-up letter dated February 1, 1996 faxed by Ms. Lescrenier to Ms. Dunbar listed various equipment, including ten Courier II units, that Gammex was willing to give DMSI. The letter gave a list price of the Courier II units of $10,000 each, a total list priceof all offered equipment of $203,600, and stated that " [t]he majority of the above equipment is new, never been used. Some of the Courier computers were demonstration units."
On February 8, Ms. Dunbar sent a fax to Ms. Lescrenier that responded to the proposal. That transmission included a list of the same equipment along with dealer transfer prices. Ms. Dunbar's fax indicated that, based on the dealer prices, the actual value of Gammex's proposal was $44,654.25. Ms. Dunbar also stated that she did not "know what to do" with some of the listed equipment, and that there had to be a cash settlement along with the equipment package.
These discussions were outlined in a fax dated February 26. That communication (1) explained the equipment substituted for the items for which Ms. Dunbar indicated she had no use; (2) made reference to an exclusive dealer contract, a definition of a sales territory, service arrangements, and assistance with advertising that were agreed to in earlier mediation proceedings, and (3) offered $50,000 in cash. The total list price associated with the new equipment package was $203,975, and again, the communication indicated that the majority of the equipment was "new, never been used" and that " [s]ome of the Courier computers were demonstration units." The fax also stated that Ms. Dunbar had "misstated the value of the equipment in the original list" in her February 8 response.
Negotiations resumed in late April, when Ms. Dunbar's attorney contacted Gammex's counsel. By April, DMSI was no longer interested in maintaining certain relationships with Gammex,4 and it indicated that several aspects of the earlier proposals were no longer of value (e.g., a new distributorship agreement, assistance with advertising). Negotiations between the parties' counsel dealt, inter alia, with the amount of cash Gammex was to pay to DMSI, the equipment to be transferred (e.g., whether mouses and cables were included, whether a six-month warranty would be included, configuration and programming issues), the availability of documentation regarding the equipment, the availability of discounts on such items as replacement parts, responsibility for shipping and insurance costs, and the timing of the delivery of the cash and the equipment. Thus, the focus of the second stage was on the consideration Gammex was to give DMSI in return for DMSI releasing its claims.
The parties eventually agreed to Gammex's releasing claims related to the 1994 Litigation, and transferring to DMSI the equipment listed in Ms. Lescrenier's second proposal and $70,000 in cash. The final agreement included three express warranties: (1) that Gammex "has good and clear title to the Equipment, and that the Equipment is free of all liens, mortgages and encumbrances at the time of shipment to Dunbar Medical"; (2) that the equipment "is either new and has never been used, or has previously been used as demonstration or loaner equipment"; and (3) that the "Equipment, at the time of shipment to Dunbar Medical, is working and operational in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications applicable to each item included in the Equipment." In return, DMSI agreed to release claims related to the 1994 Litigation. The agreement was signed by Ms. Dunbar, on behalf of herself and DMSI, on July 18, 1996; Charles Lescrenier, Gammex's CEO, signed the agreement on July 23, 1996.
As per the agreement, Gammex transferred $70,000 to DMSI. The parties dismissed, with prejudice, their respective claims. Ms. Dunbar sent to Gammex instructions regarding how the Courier II units were to be configured and programmed. DMSI received equipment from Gammex, albeit after the date stated in the Agreement. After receiving the equipment, some of which was damaged in transit, Ms. Dunbar determined through testing that it differed in significant ways from what it had been represented to be.
As a result, on November 11, 1996, DMSI filed in the 152nd Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas an action asserting breach of contract and fraud claims. Gammex removed the case on December 23, 1996 to the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas.5 In response to the district court's granting of Gammex's November 28, 1997 motion for a more definite statement, DMSI filed a first amended complaint on January 16, 1998. In that complaint, DMSI alleged breach of contract and fraudulent inducement, and sought $150,000 in compensatory damages, $600,000 in punitive damages, pre- and post-judgment interest, and attorney fees.
Gammex filed a motion for summary judgment on February 2, 1998, arguing, inter alia, that under the Texas Supreme Court's decision in Schlumberger Technology Corporation v. Swanson, 959 S.W.2d 171 (Tex. 1997), the Settlement Agreement barred DMSI's fraudulent inducement claim.6 The district court denied Gammex's motion on March 4, 1998, and also denied Gammex's subsequent motion to reconsider.7 A three-day bench trial began March 31, 1998. Gammex's motion for a judgment as a matter of law was denied.
The evidence revealed that some of the highly technical equipment was not only not new, but outmoded, or defective, or had been used not merely for demonstration or loaner purposes. The ten Courier II units were not programmed as set forth by Linda Dunbar in breach of Paragraph 2.2 of the Agreement. The evidence, both testimonial and spreadsheet documentation, showed that upon arrival, none of the ten Courier IIs captured images off the digitizer or ultrasound and that the equipment did not meet specifications provided to Gammex by DMSI . . . . [C]redible testimony established that a large portion of the equipment was not new, but used, and some nonoperational or only partly operational. Despite Linda Dunbar's insistence that she wanted Courier II units from the last production run that did not have the hard drive and software problems identified in the state court suit, none of the equipment sent to DMSI was manufactured later than 1993, and most was manufactured between 1990-1992. It included old, discontinued models . . . . Some of the equipment had been used and taken back by Gammex as trade-ins or exchanges.
The court also noted Ms. Dunbar's testimony that the August 1996 value of the transferred equipment was no more than $20,000. It held that as a result of Gammex's breach, DMSI was entitled to $150,000 in benefit-of-the-bargain damages and to $35,200 in attorney fees.
The court went on to find that Gammex had fraudulently induced DMSI to enter into the Settlement Agreement. Ms. Lescrenier was found by the court to have knowingly made false statements regarding the transferred equipment's value, condition, and age. The court found that the estimates of the equipment's value were "deliberately and greatly inflated." Ms. Lescrenier's statements, which were found by the district court not to be expressions of opinion, were made with the intention of causing Ms. Dunbar to rely on them and settle the parties' dispute. Ms. Dunbar was found to have relied on Ms. Lescrenier's statements and to have been injured as a result. The court determined that Gammex's fraud entitled DMSI to $150,000 in benefit-of-the-bargain damages, and $300,000 in punitive damages.
As a result of these determinations, the court ordered on November 23, 1998 that DMSI submit a proposed final judgment, and allowed Gammex to file objections to that proposed judgment. On February 22, 1999, the court entered final judgment, which, not surprisingly, reflected DMSI's election to recover under its fraud in the inducement cause of action. The court awarded DMSI $150,000 in compensatory damages, $300,000 in punitive damages, and pre- and post-judgment interest. Gammex timely appealed.
Before us, Gammex challenges only the district court's entry of judgment on DMSI's fraudulent inducement claim, its award of $300,000 in punitive damages, and its award of pre-judgment interest on those punitive damages.8 In general, Gammex contends that (1) DMSI's claim is barred, either by the Settlement Agreement's terms or by Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 11; (2) the evidence does not support the court's finding of no intent to perform; (3) the Agreement bars the punitive damage award; (4) DMSI has not met its statutory burden in proving entitlement to such damages; and (5) the lower court improperly awarded pre-judgment interest on punitive damages. We note that Gammex does not challenge the lower court's findings that Ms. Lescrenier made the statements that are at the heart of DMSI's fraudulent inducement claim, that the statements included misrepresentations of fact, or that Ms. Dunbar relied on Ms. Lescrenier's statements. In assessing Gammex's arguments, we apply the well-established standard of review applicable to bench trials, examining questions of law de novo, and reviewing findings of fact for clear error. See Gebreyesus v. F.C. Schaffer & Assocs., Inc., 204 F.3d 639, 642 (5th Cir. 2000).
Gammex contends that under Schlumberger Technology Corporation v. Swanson, 959 S.W.2d 171 (Tex. 1997), two provisions within the Settlement Agreement operate to bar DMSI's fraudulent inducement claim. The first is an "as is" clause, which provides that " [e]xcept as expressly provided for herein, the equipment is conveyed and transferred by Gammex to Dunbar Medical as is, where is, and with all faults, and there are no warranties which extend beyond the description of the equipment on the face of exhibit 'A' attached hereto."9 ¶ 2.2. The second provision, a merger clause, provides that the Settlement Agreement "contains the entire agreement between the parties, and no representations, inducements, promises, or agreement, oral or otherwise between the parties with reference thereto and not embodied herein shall be of any force." ¶ 4.2.
The district court rejected Gammex's argument in its review of Gammex's motion for summary judgment. It distinguished Schlumberger from the case sub judice by noting that "while the agreement here may appear to Gammex to be an integrated one, there was no express, specific disclaim of reliance on Gammex's alleged statements and representations." We also reject Gammex's argument, but do so for somewhat different reasons.
In Schlumberger, the Texas Supreme Court recognized the inherent tension between the principle that the " [p]arties should be able to bargain for and execute a release barring all further dispute," 959 S.W.2d at 179, and prior authority holding that clauses in contracts, including merger and disclaimer provisions, need not bar subsequent claims of fraudulent inducement. See id. at 178-79. The court held that "a release that clearly expresses the parties' intent to waive fraudulent inducement claims, or one that disclaims reliance on representations about specific matters in dispute, can preclude a claim of fraudulent inducement," but also emphasized that "a disclaimer of reliance or merger clause will not always bar" such a claim.10 Id. at 181. Because the parties should be able to rely on their negotiated disclaimer or merger clauses to resolve fully their disputes, the question for the court was "under which circumstances such disclaimers are binding." Id. at 179. For the answer to this question, the court looked to " [t]he contract and the circumstances surrounding its formation . . . ." Id.; see also Prudential Ins. Co. v. Jefferson Assocs., Ltd., 896 S.W.2d 156, 162 (Tex. 1995) (stating that, in determining whether an "as is" clause is unenforceable, " [t]he nature of the transaction and the totality of the circumstances surrounding the agreement must be considered").
We read Schlumberger as holding that particular contract clauses may, under certain limited circumstances, curtail the contracting parties' ability to challenge the contract's validity on fraudulent inducement grounds. Schlumberger gives us some indication of what those circumstances may include. That the negotiating parties in Schlumberger were represented by counsel, were experts in the subject matter of the negotiations, and were bargaining at arm's length were important to the court.11 See Schlumberger, 959 S.W.2d at 180. In addition, the court noted that at the center of the parties' dispute was the object of the alleged misrepresentations -- the value of the mining project -- and that the sole purpose of the unambiguous release was to end that dispute "once and for all." Id.
We must assess whether Gammex and DMSI's Settlement Agreement "clearly expresses the parties' intent to waive fraudulent inducement claims, or . . . disclaims reliance on representations about specific matters in dispute." Id. at 181. The parties in the instant action were represented by counsel, and bargained at arm's length over the terms of the Settlement Agreement. The final bargain struck exchanged releases of claims for equipment and cash. Both parties could be considered extremely knowledgeable about the type of equipment reflected in the agreement -- one manufactured and marketed that equipment, the other was previously a distributor of the equipment.
We nonetheless conclude that under the circumstances of this case, the "as is" and merger clauses do not bar DMSI's fraudulent inducement claim. The Agreement reflects that Gammex and DMSI specifically contemplated future, although not continuing, interactions with one another. DMSI had the right to send one employee to Gammex's offices for training on the Courier II and other equipment, Gammex was to provide DMSI free support by telephone for one year, and Gammex agreed to apply for one year its standard trade discount to DMSI's purchases of replacement parts and supplies. In addition to future interactions, the parties contemplated future disputes related to the Settlement Agreement. A punitive-damages provision in that Agreement presupposes a claim arising from or related to it. This suggests that the parties were not seeking to end all disputes between them "once and for all." Schlumberger, 959 S.W.2d at 180. Although these observations are not dispositive, they frame our analysis of the "as is" and merger clauses.
As the Texas Supreme Court noted in Prudential Insurance, although an "as is" clause can negate a claim that a seller's conduct caused a buyer injury, see 896 S.W.2d at 161, such a clause is not always enforceable. See id. at 162. The court explicitly noted that fraud used to induce agreement was a circumstance that rendered that clause unenforceable. See id. ("A buyer is not bound by an agreement to purchase something 'as is' that he is induced to make because of a fraudulent representation or concealment of information by the seller."). The issue at hand is whether the "as is" clause demonstrates the parties' clear intent to waive fraudulent inducement claims or disclaim reliance on representations about specific matters in dispute. See Schlumberger, 959 S.W.2d at 181.
We conclude that it does not. The misrepresentations in this case went to the condition of the equipment (i.e., its "newness" and its being problem-free). The contract specifically warrants that the equipment be either "new and . . . never . . . used, or . . . previously . . . used as demonstration or loaner equipment" and that it would be "working and operational in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications . . . ." The "as is" clause specifically excepts the other explicit warranties. Under these circumstances, we cannot conclude that DMSI, in agreeing to the "as is" clause, disclaimed reliance on Gammex's representations regarding the equipment's age or functioning, or intended to waive fraudulent inducement claims. Cf. SMB Partners, Ltd. v. Osloub, 4 S.W.3d 368, 371 (Tex. App. 1999, no pet.) (holding that an "as is" clause that specifically excluded other warranties did not apply to the purported misrepresentation and thus did not bar the fraudulent inducement claim).
Gammex also argues that under the Texas Supreme Court's opinion in Padilla v. LaFrance, 907 S.W.2d 454 (Tex. 1995), Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 11 makes oral representations made in the course of negotiating a settlement agreement unenforceable.14 As a result, DMSI cannot rely on Ms. Lescrenier's statements to support a claim of fraudulent inducement. Gammex takes issue with the district court's rejection of this argument, contending that the court erred in concluding that because the Settlement Agreement was to be performed in less than one year, the statute of frauds does not apply.
Like the district court, we conclude that Gammex's argument must be rejected, although we base our decision on different reasoning. In Padilla, the Texas Supreme Court faced the question of whether a series of letters between parties constituted an agreement that satisfied Rule 11's writing requirement. Analogizing to the statute of frauds, the court held that the letters evidenced a binding agreement, in part because they reflected "all material terms of the agreement." 907 S.W.2d at 460-61. Gammex wishes to use language within the Padilla opinion to require that all oral representations made in the context of settlement negotiations be in writing in order to be enforceable. See id. at 460 ("To satisfy the statute of frauds, 'there must be a written memorandum which is complete within itself in every material detail . . . .'" (quoting Cohen v. McCutchin, 565 S.W.2d 230, 232 (Tex. 1978))). Gammex contends that because oral settlement agreements are unenforceable as a matter of law, no claim of fraudulent inducement can be brought. It looks to Weakly v. East, 900 S.W.2d 755, 758 (Tex. App. 1995, writ denied), for support for this contention.
We find Weakly distinguishable on its facts. In that case, plaintiffs alleged that defendants, in an effort to forestall the sale of the real estate to another buyer and to purchase that property at a lower price in a foreclosure sale, promised to purchase real estate with no intention of actually carrying out that promise. See id. at 758. The court found that the essence of the fraud claim was the oral promise to purchase realty. See id. Because a contract for the sale of realty is not enforceable unless in writing, and because the alleged fraud did not prevent the necessary writing, the court found that summary judgment in favor of the defendants was proper on the fraud claim. See id.
Gammex's argument could have more force if DMSI was seeking to enforce as a contract an alleged oral settlement agreement between Ms. Dunbar and Ms. Lescrenier. Here, however, DMSI challenges the validity of the signed Agreement. Unlike the plaintiffs in Weakly, DMSI alleges that Gammex's actions constituted fraud in the inducement -- the writing, signed by the parties, was procured by Ms. Lescrenier's misrepresentations as to the condition of the equipment to be transferred. This allegation cannot be said to be an attempt to by-pass the statute of frauds via a fraud claim, or an attempt to enforce an otherwise unenforceable oral settlement agreement. DMSI's injury stems from Gammex's alleged violation of its independent legal duty not to procure a contract with DMSI through fraud. See Formosa Plastics Corp. USA v. Presidio Engineers & Contractors, 960 S.W.2d 41, 46 (Tex. 1998).
Gammex seeks to distinguish Formosa on the ground that it involves a contract, rather than a settlement agreement. Rule 11 applies only to settlement agreements. Although it is clear that a settlement agreement must be in writing to be enforceable under Texas courts' interpretation of Rule 11, we must reject Gammex's attempt to rely on the scope of that Rule to negate DMSI's fraudulent inducement claim. We can think of no principled reason for distinguishing between fraudulent inducement claims targeting contracts and those targeting settlement agreements, and Texas law provides us with no cause to do so.
Under Texas law, a party claiming fraudulent inducement must demonstrate (1) a material representation, (2) that was false, (3) that was either known to be false when made or was asserted without knowledge of the truth, (4) that was intended to be acted upon, (5) was relied upon, and (6) that caused injury. See Formosa, 960 S.W.2d at 47; DeSantis v. Wackenhut Corp., 793 S.W.2d 670, 688 (Tex. 1990), cert. denied, 498 U.S. 1048 (1991). "A promise of future performance constitutes an actionable misrepresentation if the promise was made with no intention of performing at the time it was made." Formosa, 960 S.W.2d at 48.
Gammex contends that the district court erred in finding that Ms. Lescrenier intended not to perform at the time she represented that the transferred Courier IIs would come from the last production run and would be problem free. To support this contention, it points to the fact that the Ms. Lescrenier's proposals were not fully accepted in February, to evidence that Ms. Lescrenier relied on a list of available equipment prepared by Mr. Sopotnick, and to evidence that Ms. Lescrenier did not participate in the second stage of negotiations. Gammex urges us to conclude that the evidence supporting the lower court's finding of the requisite intent is "so weak that it creates only a mere surmise or suspicion of its existence," T.O. Stanley Boot Co. v. Bank of El Paso, 847 S.W.2d 218, 222 (Tex. 1992), and is thus insufficient.
Our review of the district court's finding is limited. Under the Federal Rules, "due regard shall be given to the opportunity of the trial court to judge of the credibility of the witnesses." Fed. R. Civ. P. 52(a); see also Coury v. Prot, 85 F.3d 244, 254 (5th Cir. 1996). "The burden of showing that the findings of the district court are clearly erroneous is heavier if the credibility of witnesses is a factor in the trial court's decision." Id. at 254 (citing Village Fair Shopping Ctr. v. Broadhead, 588 F.2d 431, 434 n.2 (5th Cir. 1979)). In this case, the trial judge specifically noted her assessments of Ms. Dunbar's, Ms. Lescrenier's, and Mr. Sopotnick's credibility.
We do not emerge from our review of the record with a "'definite and firm conviction that a mistake has been committed.'" Concrete Pipe & Prods of Cal., Inc. v. Construction Laborers Pension Trust for S. Cal., 508 U.S. 602, 622 (1993) (quoting United States v. United States Gypsum Co., 333 U.S. 364, 395 (1948)). Evidence indicates that although Ms. Lescrenier was not an active participant in the last rounds of negotiations, her second February proposal was a basis upon which those negotiations built. Although Ms. Lescrenier indicated in her testimony that Gammex's inventory changed between February and August, when the equipment was shipped, Mr. Sopotnick testified that there was no change. He also testified that Ms. Lescrenier accompanied him when he reviewed the inventory to assess what equipment was available. Given this and other evidence in the record, we conclude that the district court's finding is not clearly erroneous.
Because we conclude that the district court did not err in entering judgment on DMSI's fraudulent inducement claim, we turn to Gammex's challenges to the lower court's punitive damages and pre-judgment interest decisions. With regard to punitive damages, Gammex contends that the district court erred in not enforcing a contractual provision in which DMSI explicitly released claims for punitive damages, and that DMSI is not entitled to such damages because it has not met its statutory burden of proof.
As to any and all claims that may be asserted by Dunbar Medical or Dunbar arising from or in any way relating to this Settlement Agreement, including but not limited to the Equipment, in no event shall Dunbar Medical or Dunbar be entitled to recover special, consequential or punitive damages, and recovery of special, consequential or punitive damages shall be absolutely precluded.
Gammex contends that this language must be interpreted as a release of DMSI's punitive damages claim, and that because the clause was freely negotiated, it bars DMSI's recovery of such damages.
In general, a party is not bound by a fraudulently induced contract. See Formosa, 960 S.W.2d at 46; Prudential Ins., 896 S.W.2d at 162. Underlying this rule is the notion that a party induced by fraud to enter into an agreement has not provided the assent necessary to make a binding contract. See Dallas Farm Mach. Co., 307 S.W.2d at 240; Edward Thompson Co. v. Sawyers, 234 S.W. 873, 874 (Tex. 1921) ("Contracts, though reduced to writing, are avoided when induced by material promises, never intended to be kept, not because one is allowed to vary his written contract, but because real assent is essential to a binding contract."). "One who is entitled to avoid an entire written contract because it lacked his assent can no longer be held bound by any of its stipulations . . . ." Sawyers, 234 S.W. at 874-75.
Because a party is not bound by a contract he was induced by fraud to enter, we find inapplicable Memorial Medical Center v. Keszler, 943 S.W.2d 433 (Tex. 1997), a case Gammex relies upon to support its contention that the punitive damages provision is enforceable. In Memorial Medical, the Texas Supreme Court determined, inter alia, that a post-injury release of claims for gross negligence is not against public policy. See id. at 435. The settlement agreement and release at issue in the case were considered valid documents. See id. at 434 ("The parties . . . have not contested the validity of the release or claimed ambiguity or fraud in its execution."). Thus, the issue regarded the enforceability of a clause within the contract, not the validity of the contract. Here, we consider whether a clause in a contract otherwise unenforceable against DMSI may nonetheless preclude punitive damages. We hold that it cannot. Because DMSI was found to have been induced into entering the Settlement Agreement by Gammex's fraud, the district court did not err in concluding that the Agreement's punitive damages provision was not binding on DMSI.
Gammex next argues that DMSI has not met its burden under section 41.003 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, and therefore is not entitled to a punitive damages award. Section 41.003(a) provides that a claimant prove "by clear and convincing evidence that the harm with respect to which the claimant seeks recovery of exemplary damages results from (1) fraud, (2) malice, or (3) wilful act or mission or gross neglect in wrongful death actions . . . ." Gammex attacks the lack of "clear and convincing" evidence supporting a finding of no intent to perform on the part of Ms. Lescrenier, and argues that this case exhibits neither the "evil mind," Transportation Ins. Co. v. Moriel, 879 S.W.2d 10, 18 (Tex. 1994), nor the "extraordinary harm," id. at 24, that are required under Texas law to award punitive damages.
Gammex's reliance on Moriel and other cases building on its principles is misplaced. The cases cited each deal with allegations of bad faith. See State Farm Fire & Cas. Co. v. Simmons, 963 S.W.2d 42 (Tex. 1998) (involving allegations that insurance company breached its duty of good faith and fair dealing); Universe Life Ins. Co. v. Giles, 950 S.W.2d 48 (Tex. 1997) (same); Moriel, 879 S.W.2d at 14 (same). As subsequent Texas Supreme Court decisions have recognized, Moriel "clarified the requirements for the imposition of punitive damages in a bad faith case." Simmons, 963 S.W.2d at 47; see also Giles, 950 S.W.2d at 54 (noting Moriel limits recovery of punitive damages in bad faith cases to, among others, those able to show fraudulent conduct in addition to bad faith).
This is a fraud case. Under section 41.003(a), DMSI had the burden of demonstrating that its harm was due to Gammex's fraud. The statute defines fraud to be "fraud other than constructive fraud." Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. § 41.001(6). As the Texas Supreme Court has noted, " [a] finding of intent to harm or conscious indifference to the rights of others will support an award of exemplary damages. In [Trenholm v. Ratcliff, 646 S.W.2d 927, 933 (Tex. 1983)], this court held that a fraudulent inducement was enough to support at least a finding of conscious indifference." Spoljaric, 708 S.W.2d at 436 (internal citations omitted). DMSI did not also need to show malice, as the statute is explicit in providing that a claimant needs to show harm from fraud or malice.
DMSI was required to show by clear and convincing evidence the elements of punitive damages provided in section 41.003(a). See Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code Ann. § 41.003(b). Clear and convincing evidence is "that measure or degree of proof which will produce in the mind of the trier of fact a firm belief or conviction as to the truth of the allegations sought to be established." Id. § 41.001(2). Gammex contends only that evidence is insufficient to support a finding that Ms. Lescrenier had no intent to perform when she assured Ms. Dunbar of the condition of the equipment to be transferred. We have considered the evidence under the clear error standard and have rejected Gammex's argument. It fares no better under the standard applicable here. Thus, we conclude that the district court did not err in awarding punitive damages.
For the foregoing reasons, we affirm the district court's entry of judgment on DMSI's fraudulent inducement claim, and its award of punitive damages. We reform the judgment to clarify that pre-judgment interest at the rate of 10% per annum is to be assessed only on the compensatory damage award. See Krieser v. Hobbs, 166 F.3d 736, 747 (5th Cir. 1999).
AFFIRMED in part; REFORMED in part. Gammex shall bear the costs of this appeal.
In early 1989, DMSI and DataSpan, Inc. entered into an agreement whereby DMSI became an independent sales representative for DataSpan. Radiation Measurements, Inc. is Gammex's predecessor in interest. DataSpan was acquired by Gammex/Radiation Measurements in 1989. We refer to each of these companies as "Gammex."
The Courier II is a stand-alone computer that runs teleradiology equipment.
Ms. Dunbar later determined that in fact, the camera's manufacturer had earlier ceased production of the requested camera.
The letter Ms. Dunbar's attorney sent to Gammex's attorney listed as part of Ms. Dunbar's settlement proposal that " [a]ll continuing or past relationships will be severed (except for the terms of the settlement agreement, the non-disclosure and software license agreements)."
Jurisdiction is claimed under 28 U.S.C. § 1332. DMSI is a Texas corporation with its principal place of business in Harris County, Texas, and Gammex is a Wisconsin corporation with its principal place of business in Middleton, Wisconsin.
The Settlement Agreement contains a choice-of-law clause that provides that the Agreement "shall be construed and governed by the laws of the State of Texas."
Because Gammex's motion to reconsider raised a new argument -- that Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 11 barred DMSI's claims -- the lower court interpreted the motion as a supplemental motion for summary judgment that was ripe for decision given DMSI had responded.
Gammex concedes that DMSI is entitled to recover $150,000 in compensatory damages on its breach of contract claim, and to receive $35,200 in attorney fees. It also concedes that DMSI is entitled to recover pre-judgment interest at the rate of 6% per annum on the compensatory damages award.
The quoted language appears in all capital letters, in a bold-face type, at the end of the paragraph that lists Gammex's warranties with regard to the equipment.
The court cited its opinion in Prudential Insurance Co. v. Jefferson Associates, Ltd., 896 S.W.2d 156, 162 (Tex. 1995), as describing some of the circumstances under which such clauses would not be binding. Included in those circumstances are where the contract was procured by fraud and where a seller's conduct obstructs a buyer's ability to inspect the condition of what is being sold. See id. The court also noted that " [w]here the 'as is' clause is an important part of the basis of the bargain, not an incidental or 'boiler-plate' provision, and is entered into by parties of relatively equal bargaining position, a buyer's affirmation and agreement that he is not relying on representations of the seller should be given effect." Id.
The argument that merger or disclaimer clauses should be binding whenever parties to the agreement were represented by independent legal counsel was expressly rejected by the Schlumberger court. See 959 S.W.2d at 178.
DMSI also sought additional language relating to a six-month warranty on the equipment. This was rejected. The description of the equipment to be transferred in the final agreement differs from the description in the documents exchanged by Ms. Lescrenier and Ms. Dunbar in including a reference to "loaner" equipment. This addition does not contradict Ms. Lescrenier's representations, however, as loaner equipment, although not new, could still come from the last fifty manufactured by Gammex and be problem-free.
We note that the parties negotiated separate release clauses covering any and all claims "made in or based on or related to the claims made in the Litigation." The "Litigation" was defined as the action Gammex initiated in 1994. Thus, we do not read the release clauses as covering claims arising from the Settlement Agreement. Indeed, in a section of the contract separate from the "Releases" section, the parties included provisions relating specifically to the Settlement Agreement. Those provisions were the merger clause, the clause prohibiting recovery of punitive and special damages, and the choice-of-law clause.
Under Rule 11, "no agreement between attorneys or parties touching any suit pending will be enforced unless it be in writing, signed and filed with the papers as part of the record, or unless it be made in open court and entered of record." Tex. R. Civ. P. 11 (West 2000).
Gammex also contends that we should apply language from Boggan v. Data Systems Network Corp., 969 F.2d 149 (5th Cir. 1992), to hold that Ms. Lescrenier's statements cannot constitute actionable misrepresentations. See id. at 153 ("It is well settled that the negotiations and discussions leading up to the writing cannot displace the terms of the written agreement."). We decline to do so. Our decision in Boggan was in part based on the finding that the alleged misrepresentations were expressions of intent, rather than statements of fact, see id., and that statements such as "I think we have a deal" could not, under the circumstances, be considered actionable misrepresentations. In the case before us, the district court found that Ms. Lescrenier's statements were misrepresentations of fact, or promises made with no intention of performing. Each of these is an actionable misrepresentation under Texas law. See Formosa, 960 S.W.2d at 46-48.
Gammex also asks that we reform the interest award to reduce the rate to 6%, as this was the rate DMSI requested. It does not contend that an award at the higher rate was erroneous, and thus we deny its request. | 2019-04-19T16:17:12 | https://law.justia.com/cases/federal/appellate-courts/F3/216/441/570341/ |
As the summer season has ended and fall is in swing, brides feel the pressure to complete the plans for late autumn and winter weddings. Countries, customs, and traditions are different, but many things are alike. Before you can begin selection of flowers, paper products, the venue, and in some cases, the menu; you must decide on your colors and what will be in for the 2018-2019 autumn and winter season.
There are several color “families” that are being favored for the upcoming seasons. Remember for a wedding, a color does not always have to be the perfect match. Sometimes using two similar colors with a slightly different hue works beautifully.
Purple- The beautiful thing about purple is carries so many hues that you literally go from pastel lavender to the deepest black/purple. Purple looks stunning with a full bloom bouquet of white or if you’d like a very rich toned wedding, pair it with a bouquet that has leafy greens and burgundy florals and deep purple berries. Magnolias, fully bloomed roses and orchids also look perfect against purple.
You can brighten or deepen the colors with accessories. A lace shawl will bring a bit of color. Also, select shoes that are lighter. Gray, bone, cream, or even clear will lighten the look if you are going for early autumn. For modern colored wedding palettes, you do not want to accessorize with silver. Stay with lace, crystals, gold, cream, or ivory.
We have seen a recent trend toward dresses that are not blazing pure white in color. Especially for fall and winter weddings with deep hued palettes, a stark white dress can sometimes look out of place. We love the trend toward softer, more subtle beautiful fabrics. Candlelight as a dress color is stunning for fall. Soft creme in a lace or flowy sheer fabric is gorgeous for winter and fall. If you’re on a budget and looking for a beautiful dress for less, we love these affordable casual wedding dresses made by Azazie. We especially love Addy and Ember.
Gowns can be tea length or longer, etc.
Also keep in mind that when it comes to fabric, a different material can make the same color look different. So be sure to order swatches or view the fabric in person! | 2019-04-23T06:09:38 | https://kristaleephotography.com/2018-2019-autumn-and-winter-color-palettes-for-weddings/ |
My passion for instrumental compositions started back during my piano lessons. I played the classics for recital pieces but every once in a while I was able to talk my piano instructor into letting me perform a more contemporary piece such as the "Theme from Exodus" or "Malaguenia". These compositions meant more to me than the classics. They are just as timeless as far as I am concerned. With my rock 'n roll influences and my study of classical music, it was only natural that I would eventually want to compose material with memorable melodies and upbeat rhythms.
A contemporary musical composer who has influenced my writing is Mike Post. He has composed excellent, memorable TV themes such as the themes for "Hill Street Blues", "L. A. Law", " The Rockford Files", "Law & Order", "Silk Stalkings", "NYPD Blue" and so many more. One of his most recent compositions is the theme for the brand new TV show starring Kim Delaney called "Philly" on ABC. He is, without a doubt, one of the most popular modern day composers of our time.

This one has been called "haunting", "powerful" but mostly "inspirational". Like most of my compositions, I came up with a rhythm before I wrote the melody. I'm a rock 'n roll person at heart and strong drums and bass drive a lot of my songs. I wrote this for my wife so she would quit telling me how great Yanni is. It worked. I haven't heard her mention his name once since I named this composition after her and gave it to her on her birthday in 1992.
Imagine a party near the Mexican Border. There are different movements in this piece to reflect the different rhythms and feelings the music may have in the course of a night. I used typically Hispanic instrumentation but with heavier drums and bass than you might find in some Hispanic music. I created trumpets, a mandolin, a violin, and even a nylon-string guitar. I wrote this composition in 2000 specifically for this project.
This composition is nearly 30 years old. It's had many different titles and a variety of productions over the years but the basic tune has never changed. I wrote the melody in a dream in 1972. I woke up around 4:00am with it still in my head, went to the old upright piano in my living room and started playing it. I recorded a rough version of it the next day and I still have that original tape.
The temptation to overproduce this one was great. I had to resist putting all kinds of extra countermelodies in it. "A lullaby is simple and repetitive" I kept saying to myself as I recorded the tracks. I did give myself some freedom at the end to have a little fun. The drums really carry this composition.
Originally titled "Mikey's Shuffle", this song was a "couch" melody. I used to keep a small electronic keyboard in the living room so that if I got an idea, I could just lean over and start creating. I was watching a "Law & Order" episode that I had taped the previous evening when the idea for this composition came to me. You just never know when or where you will get your next song. The title change didn't come about until last year. I decided there were enough songs with peoples' names in them on this CD.
"It's About Time!" is a 19 year old composition that I wrote on the road. It's been labeled "uplifting", "fun" and very danceable. (I wouldn't know about the dancing part because I have two very big 'left' feet.) The prelude was an addition to the song last year. The chord pattern came to me in a music store when I was messing around in their keyboard section. The end of the piece (which is over 10 minutes long) was also an addition that I wrote in 2000. The chord pattern used in "Prelude" is also the same chord pattern used in the brass finale at the end of the song.
The title came to me when I was playing the song. I literally wrote this piece with my eyes closed many years ago but never came up with a title I liked until I rediscovered it in 1999. I'm especially proud of the strings in the final passage which is a recent addition to the composition. Originally, this was to be a 4/4 ballad but when I decided to look at it for this CD, I wanted it to have a rhythm completely different from any other on this CD. | 2019-04-21T08:06:58 | http://www.michaelkontras.com/mp3s/2001mkcd.html |
Hayv Kahraman works are thought provoking and interesting to my partner and me as we enjoy our bi-monthly gallery walks. It’s a quick walk west up 20th St. in the Flatiron district to the Chelsea Galleries, and we participate as often as we can. We often glance through many gallery windows and only step in if something grabs our attention. There is much revisiting of minimalist work recently and this show called out to us as clever and unique with a lot to say, even if in a subtle way. I am just sharing two pieces, one is very puzzle-like, forcing the viewer to remain within the confines of the rooms, and the transparent figures are most elegant and delicately handled in their rendering. We experience the tension on viewing the paneled pieces sanded to perfection, the connecting rooms and the pained figure struggling to break free, clearly tormented. Still the woman is stuck within those panels (rooms) while evoking a feeling of transcendence. The second piece demonstrates a life that the artist witnesses and many women experience as an every day occurrence. One feels a bit voyeuristic as one peeps through the wooden carvings which seem to represent religious doors of a certain iconography or perhaps just Arabic architecture familiar to all.
These works are inspiring, risky and clearly controversial in Iran, but certainly they go a long way at reminding us what we often don’t see here in the states. I don’t want to explain more as I’m not an art critic, just an artist inspired by Hayv Kahraman’s bold works. They are beautiful, important and informing. | 2019-04-24T06:37:28 | http://www.triciamflorals.com/last-days-of-an-hayv-kahraman-iranian-artist-in-chelsea-nyc/ |

Nations Press health The Dangers In Your Kitchen:THE REAL REASON WHY EATING RICE COULD KILL YOU!!
The Dangers In Your Kitchen:THE REAL REASON WHY EATING RICE COULD KILL YOU!!
We always want to save money and one of the best way is to eat leftover food by re heating it first. But there is a danger in some food when you reheat.
There are hidden dangers in your kitchen and rice, a staple of many of our meals could be one of the biggest culprits.
And it’s not just your own kitchen you need to be wary of - people can also be at risk of food poisoning in their favourite pubs and restaurants or even finishing up last night's chinese takeaway.
A bad bout of food poisoning can cause vomiting, diarrhoea and stomach cramps and put you out of action often for 24 hours. NHS Choices said other symptoms can include a a lack of energy, loss of appetite, a high temperature, chills and aching muscles. In some extreme cases, the symptoms can also lead to dehydration and even death.
A 2014 report by the The Food Standards Agency showed 500,000 people got food poisoning - attributable to 13 different types of pathogens, or bacteria including E. coli, campylobacter and salmonella.
Although some people believe the biggest food poisoning risks come from meat, people can get food poisoning from eating reheated rice.
However, experts suggest it is not the reheating that’s the cause of food poisoning - it is the way it is stored before it goes back in the pan.
The FSA said: “Uncooked rice can contain spores of bacteria that can cause food poisoning “When the rice is cooked, the spores can survive. Then, if the rice is left standing at room temperature, the spores will multiply and may produce poisons that cause vomiting or diarrhoea.
“Reheating the rice won't get rid of these poisons.
“So, the longer cooked rice is left at room temperature, the more likely it is that poisons produced could stop the rice being safe to eat. | 2019-04-20T01:08:04 | http://www.nationspressph.com/2017/03/the-dangers-in-your-kitchenthe-real.html |

An Easy to use Robust Dialer.
I have been on the Phone Burner dialer for over 6 months now. We have had great success in easily ramping our SDR's up through the dialer. Scripts, automatic voicemail's and emails have worked to increase our contact ratio's. The customer support has been amazing from our Account Executive down to the on-boarding and technical team.
Easy to use, scripts are easy to integrate. Training was simple. Would recommend this to others that run an SDR team.
Waiting on the 2 way integration with Hubspot. Once that can occur this will be even a more robust solution.
Why did you end up selecting PhoneBurner over other applications?
Salesmanship from Michael Cleland. Agressive with out being pushy, informative. made it simple to buy.
I had used Ytel Dialer and Dolphin Dialer before had. Difficult to make work, required a softphone configuration. Needed a simple power dialer.
What is your main use case with PhoneBurner?
Simple power dialer, easy to use, Scripts and emails are automated.
Gives us the ability to dial through 200+ names per day in our SDR program.
Hard to calculate. I would not be able to determine this currently. | 2019-04-24T11:46:05 | https://www.getapp.com/customer-service-support-software/a/phoneburner/reviews/oa9n16/case_study/ |
According to a recent study from the Indexed Annuity Leadership Council—on average, Americans have to push back retirement plan by two years in order to meet their personal retirement goals.
So, what’s the issue? According to the research, 40% regret not saving earlier, 17% regret not saving enough, while 19% admit to making bad financial decisions.
“I have many people who will come to me and say they have $100,000 in retirement accounts and say they are ready to retire. When I ask how much they live on each year, they say about $40,000, and I say, ‘We are good for about two and a half years,’” said Kenneth Nuttall, a financial planner in New York City.
“Many people underestimate the amount they need to save in order to maintain their standard of living in retirement. Most expenses will be inflating every year for 30-plus years. And many don’t fully understand the tax consequences of withdrawing from their different accounts. They view their savings as their pot of money when in reality, they will only be able to keep a certain amount after taxes,” said Linda Rogers, a financial planner in Memphis, TN.
“Retirees overlook the impact inflation will have on their long-term cost increases and tend to think about both their expenses and their situation only in the present tense. They tend to look around and say that everything is fine now, so therefore it should be fine 10 years down the road. I encourage them to consider possible future situations when they are healthy to evaluate what events would trigger them to take action on changing their circumstances,” said Cheryl Sherrard, a financial planner in Charlotte, NC.
“Many retirees simply don’t want to consider what extended old age may mean in term of lifestyle and expense. Today, in the absence of other client information that might influence our projections, our long-range planning assumes living to 95 or beyond. Better health habits and continued advances in medical science all play a part in this thinking. Early planning to consider future care needs and living circumstances is essential. The need for assistance and or care will arise,” said Kevin Gahagan, a financial planner in San Francisco.
“When it comes to budgeting, people like to estimate based on their most recent memory of spending. A client of mine estimated her family budget for retirement at about $30,000 per year. In reality, their current spending is $300,000. No doubt, that spending will come down at retirement, but can you imagine the future shock if I just took her words to run a retirement analysis without doing my own cash flow research?” said Rose Swanger, a financial planner in Knoxville, TN.
“People think that because they stop working, their expenses such as eating out or commuting will decrease. However, they don’t realize that other expenses such as groceries and entertainment and travel might increase. When creating their financial plan, we recommend clients assume that their expenses will not go down, they will just change in nature,” said Avani Ramnani, a financial planner in New York City.
“We’ve seen a growing epidemic in which people have allowed their living expenses in the last five to 10 years to explode higher. To say it differently, people aren’t saying ‘No’ to anything. As a result, they are finding they need to work longer to support this newer/higher standard of living,” said Kevin Reardon, a financial planner in Pewaukee, WI.
“The biggest thing that we see keeping people from retiring prior to 65 is health insurance. Many people don’t realize how much their employer subsidizes their health insurance costs. When they find out that plans can cost $1,500 per month or more and have huge deductibles, it can make them reconsider working until Medicare is available to them,” said Adam Van Wie, a financial planner in Jacksonville Beach, FL.
“After a lifetime of squirreling away money and delaying gratification, many retirees still fret about their spending. Financial market gyrations can cause a lot of anxiety. Other unknowns can be just as puzzling and distressing. Which accounts do I pull from first? How long will I live? Will my pension stay solvent? Retirement can be relaxing and low stress, but it takes planning, perspective and a different skill set from what is required leading up to retirement,” said Daniel Moisand, a financial planner in Melbourne, FL. | 2019-04-24T23:03:05 | https://nebablog.com/2018/08/09/6-things-financial-advisors-wish-you-realized-about-retirement/ |
Noticing his potentiality, she eagerly made him in 1996 a member of preteen music act N-Toon that later managed to earn a recording contract under Dream Works Records.better known by his mononym Lloyd, is an American R&B singer-songwriter, dancer and actor.It debuted at number 11 on the US Billboard 200 and number three on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts, selling over the R&B singer Ashanti, managed to peak at number 24 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 13 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts.The second single, "Hey Young Girl" was released in August 2004 and peaked at number 61 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.Looks like it is not that difficult for Lloyd to once more generate hype in R&B music circuit as he did before through his first LP.Good sign of it has already been seen from his smooth appearance in performing single "You" with Lil Wayne on "106 & Park" on February 7, 2007, marking an early indication of another success he is about to face when his next album finally sees the light on March 13.And it could be even greater, judging from his determination to make the most of his time in the spotlight with the record. "I just want to kind of spark some kind of energy in the building." An exceptional talent with a hugely charismatic personality, Lloyd was born Lloyd Harlin Polite Jr.on January 3, 1986 in New Orleans, Louisiana to Lloyd Polite Sr. Following the death of his father when he was just two years old, his mother afterwards moved the family to Atlanta, Georgia where the boy nurtured his knack in singing to then get discovered by Klymaxx's Joyce Irby.
Yeah I may like Lloyd but I don't even know who Mya Harris is. Don't even try to date Lloyd either because he's mine! The third and final single, "Southside Remix" featured Ashanti and rapper Scarface.Later that year he featured on 8Ball & MJG's "Forever" and Tango Redd's "Let's Cheat".The song was not promoted and didn't receive a music video.
Later in 2007, he was featured on Huey's "When I Hustle" and Dem Franchize Boyz's "Turn Heads", both songs saw minor success in the United States, reaching number 80 and 75 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. "The title concept derives from a schoolboy fantasy of mine, where I become a professor of a classroom full of gorgeous girls, and I feel the best thing I can give them that's really worth having is lessons in love! The album debuted at number seven on the Billboard 200 and number one on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts, with moderately successful first-week sales 51,000 — about half as many as his previous effort, number two album Street Love.
In 2003, Lloyd was discovered and signed to Irv Gotti's The Inc. | 2019-04-19T09:33:08 | https://www.tabpc.ru/profile/who-is-lloyd-polite-dating6625.html |

CHORIZOS is a multi-purpose Bayesian code developed in IDL to compare photometric data with model spectral energy distributions (SEDs). The user can select the SED family (e.g. Kurucz) and choose the behavior of each parameter (e.g. Teff) to be fixed, constrained to a given range, or unconstrained. The code calculates the likelihood for the full specified parameter ranges, thus allowing for the identification of multiple solutions and the evaluation of the full correlation matrix for the derived parameters of a single solution. | 2019-04-21T18:54:47 | http://ascl.net/1209.004 |
Texas A&M University-Commerce will upgrade its facilities and expand its presence in downtown Dallas beginning in January 2015. The university has leased 42,203 square feet of space at Pacific Place located at 1910 Pacific Ave. The new space is connected by sky bridge to the Universities Center at Dallas.
“The university’s expansion of our academic program to Pacific Place is the culmination of our 20-year commitment to serving the educational needs of those who live and work in downtown Dallas. We are proud to be an important part of the vitality that is downtown Dallas,” said A&M-Commerce President Dan R. Jones.
One of the first programs to take advantage of the new space will be visual communications, currently housed in the UCD building on Main Street. The new Pacific Avenue location will allow square footage enough for additional programs as well as meeting spaces for alumni events and other university needs in the downtown area.
The visual communications programs will have over 16,000 square feet of dedicated space to include lecture rooms, open critique space, computer labs, letterpress, silkscreen, and photography studios. Programs offered in the expanded space will include Bachelor of Fine Art with emphasis in art direction, design, new media, and photography and a Master of Fine Art in art with emphasis in visual communication. | 2019-04-18T13:14:25 | https://news.tamuc.edu/am-commerce-expanding-downtown-dallas-location/ |

kister scheithauer gross architects and urban planners (ksg) have completed the community centre and synagogue for the Jewish community of Ulm.
In 2009, the Israelite Religious Community in Württemberg (IRGW) decided to build a new synagogue for its orthodox community in Ulm and, together with the city of Ulm, initiated a competition. The city placed the building site in the middle of the Weinhof, just a stone’s throw from the former synagogue, which was destroyed during Kristallnacht.
“The team from Cologne succeeded in enriching this highly sensitive location in the city of Ulm, without detracting from its unique character,” said the city’s head of construction, Alexander Wetzig, following the jury’s decision in January 2010.
In the completed build, the cuboid is lower and shorter than initially planned during the competition. It is now 24 meters wide, 16 deep and at 17 meters high, much lower than the nearby Schwörhaus.
“The synagogue and the Jewish community centre are included in one single structure. The compact cuboid is free standing in the square. This position is historical: in the Kristallnacht in 1938, the former synagogue, which was enclosed in a road side development, was destroyed. After World War II, a secular building was constructed in the space. The synagogue and the Jewish community lost its ancestral place in the centre of Ulm. The construction of the current synagogue has opened a new site, in the middle of the square. It is as though the synagogue has taken a step forward from its former position, it has reclaimed its location. With no constructed borders, it stands abrupt and solitary on the Weinhof,” explains Prof. Susanne Gross regarding the urban building concept.
All the spaces of the community centre and the synagogue are joined in the smooth structure: foyer, synagogue, Mikvah (ritual bath), meeting hall, school and administrative rooms as well as the child day care centre with an enclosed outdoor playing area, which is directly above the sacral room.
The rooms are arranged orthogonally. Only the synagogue follows the line of the only, free-standing support in the building, in a diagonal direction. The direction facing south-east has an overlying religious meaning behind it: its geographical direction is directly towards Jerusalem, the spiritual and religious centre of Judaism. The diagonal room layout creates a corner window in the sacral room, which plays with a pattern of the Star of David as a space framework. With 600 openings, the synagogue is illuminated from many points, with the focal point being the liturgical centrepiece; the Torah shrine. The perforations in the façade created with a high-pressure water jet, illuminate the shrine inside and project the idea of the synagogue outwards.
The interior fittings of the synagogue are partially based on ksg plans, such as the dodecagon holder, a symbol for the twelve lines of the people of Israel. Rabbi Shneur Trebnik, together with the IRGW representatives, selected the seating and ordered the construction of the Torah shrine, including the bimah, a raised platform with a lectern, from which the Torah is dictated. All three elements were constructed in Israel.
The prayer room offers space for 125 people, including 40 spaces in the women’s gallery. The building was full to capacity during the opening on Sunday, December 2nd 2012. The 300 invited guests included former Jewish citizens of Ulm, who fled during World War II. Speeches were held by Federal President of Germany Joachim Gauck, Prime Minister of Baden-Württemberg Winfried Kretschmann, the President of Central Council of Jews in Germany Dieter Graumann and Israel’s ambassador to Germany Yacov Hadas-Handelsman. | 2019-04-22T10:19:35 | https://www.e-architect.co.uk/germany/ulm-synagogue |

Elephant Island is an ice-covered mountainous island off the coast of Antarctica in the outer reaches of the South Shetland Islands, in the Southern Ocean. Its name was given by early explorers sighting elephant seals on its shores. The island is situated 152 miles north-north-east of the tip of the Antarctic Peninsula, 779 miles south-south-west of South Georgia and 581 miles south of the Falkland Islands. The island is oriented approximately east-west, with a maximum elevation of 2,799 feet at Pardo Ridge. The island supports no significant flora or native fauna although migratory Gentoo penguins and seals may be found, and Chinstrap penguins nest in season. A lack of safe anchorage has prevented any permanent human settlement, despite the island being well placed to support scientific, fishing and whaling activities.
If Shackleton’s party was to return to civilisation, there was no other option but to set out and summon help. One of the ships boats would have to make the voyage and while Port Stanley in the Falkland Islands was the closest, it could not be reached because the course would involve sailing against the strong prevailing winds. Relocation to Deception Island was discounted because of the poor physical condition of many of the party. The scouring winds blowing across the island soon destroyed the tents, so the men bivouacked under the upturned boats.
Shackleton decided that the crew would consist of himself, Worsley, Crean, McNeish, McCarthy and Vincent. With winter approaching, on 24th April 1916 the James Caird was launched, although she nearly capsized pitching McNeish and McCarthy into the sea. They clambered back on board with no chance of drying their soaked clothing and watched by those remaining behind on Elephant Island, the boat headed into the ice floes lying five miles to the north. Shackleton had given Frank Wild full control of the remaining party and free command on what to do should he not return with help. It was a sombre gathering on the shore as they watched the tiny boat disappear into the distance.
The boat navigated the channels through the ice floes with Shackleton standing by the main mast and calling the directions through the floes and hummocks of ice. By 17:30 the James Caird was clear of the ice and continued north until the wind shifted to the south-west. The Southern Atlantic and the 770 miles to South Georgia lay ahead. The crew settled into their uncomfortable routine of three men on watch with one on the tiller for two-hourly stints. The watches were for four hours. Those off watch would crawl forward under the decking to the sleeping quarters, try to find a comfortable space on the stores and ballast and wriggle into the frozen sleeping bags. The bags were made from Reindeer hide and being constantly wet, they shed fibrous strands of Reindeer hair, which would clog up the pump, permeate their food and get in their eyes. Eventually they became mouldy and started to ferment, filling the cramped space below decks with the stench of rotting hide. Shackleton ordered the worst to be thrown overboard and they shared the remaining bags.
Mealtimes were a logistical nightmare. Water got into the boat through the stitched canvas joints and this made lighting and keeping the Primus stove alight a major but vital undertaking. Three men were needed for cooking, one to hold the lamp and two to prevent the stove and Hoosh pot from tipping over. Breakfast was Hoosh made from Bovril, sledging rations, biscuits and lumps of sugar. Lunch was cold Bovril and sledging ration and a pannikin of hot milk. Supper was hot milk. Their hands became burned and infected in the sodden mitts and all were suffering from salt water sores. The seas were huge and the boat’s sails flapped in the troughs between the crests, until it crested the swell into the full force of the gale. Ice formed on the masts and decking and much of the time on watch was spent chipping it away with ice axes. Inside water sloshed around and bailing out the boat was a constant undertaking, kneeling in the freezing water under the leaking deck.
A south-westerly gale on their fourth day forced the James Caird to heave-to with the sea anchor. They had been making around sixty miles a day, which was astonishing given the boat’s meagre sail area. At 11:00 the following day the boat’s sea anchor was carried away in a violent plunge into a trough, so all they had was the jib sail to keep the bow into the seas. The next day the wind dropped, the sea moderated and they were able to get underway again. They were joined by an Albatross, the solitary seabird that wandered the oceans and they felt their spirits lift with the joy of sharing the lonely sea with another living creature.
The boat was lifted and flung forward like a cork in breaking surf. The James Caird was hammered and deluged with a solid wall of water. The makeshift decking was smashed and the boat floundered, half-full of freezing water. They bailed like men possessed to keep the boat afloat, with every receptacle they could find. They fought for ten minutes until they felt the James Caird lighten and become more buoyant. The conditions on board had been bad before, but now they were terrible. It took until 03:00 to light the stove and make some hot milk and some of the crew were suffering from exposure. McNeish was badly affected, although he had showed great grit and spirit up to then. Vincent, one of the strongest men on the crew had seen a collapse in strength and morale. They all were suffering from nervous complaints, exhaustion, exposure and malnutrition and were suffering privation most of us could never imagine.
On May 6th Worsley calculated their position as less than 100 miles from the north-west point of South Georgia. They were all suffering from thirst as Shackleton had been forced to reduce the daily water ration. On loading one of the casks had been stove in and seawater had mixed with the contents. All the ice had gone and their tongues were swollen with dehydration. They headed further east so as not to miss landfall on South Georgia. On the 8th May they passed some floating kelp, a sign that land was getting closer. This was confirmed by two Shags (seabirds, not a former Deputy Prime Minister) sitting on another piece of kelp. Shags seldom venture far away from land. Fourteen days after leaving Elephant Island, McCarthy spotted the black, southern cliffs of South Georgia. They had sailed across the Southern Ocean with Worsley’s uncanny sense of dead-reckoning. They were going to exchange one danger for perhaps the most foul and most perilous episode of their journey.

The new head of the national children’s hospital board has said it would be “bad business” for the State to allow the main builder of the hospital to step down from its role.
The chair designate of the board Fred Barry, who is appearing before the Oireachtas Committee on Health this morning, also said that there was an “underestimation” from a very early stage in relation to what the project would cost, leading to an increased bill of € 1.73 billion up from the estimated € 800 million cost in 2014.
Bam, the construction firm, said last month it would step down from the construction of the hospital if the board asked it to do so.
Labour TD Alan Kelly asked Mr Barry this morning for his opinion on the offer, given his new position.
“My view is that if we were to negotiate the termination of the main contract and go to retender that it would take an absolute minimum of a year and a half and could in fact take two years or more to get a new contractor,” Mr Barry said.
“The State would be picking up the extra inflationary cost, carrying the cost of the development board and Children’s Hospital Ireland board, the current contractor would have to be paid for demobilising, there are a lot of equipment items on order and the State wold have to pay cancellation costs for those.
Fianna Fáil TD Stephen Donnelly questioned Mr Barry around why the cost of the project had risen so significantly.
“As far as I can judge, what happened here was an underestimation of scope of project from an early stage compounded by initial tender documents which didn’t properly pick up the full scope (of the project).
Despite this, Mr Barry said he did not think the cost would have ended up being much different from its current cost.
He also indicted to committee members that there may not be scope to make savings to the current costs stating that efforts were made to make savings at an early stage and at this stage “we are into diminishing returns”. | 2019-04-18T10:30:22 | https://www.irishtimes.com/news/ireland/irish-news/bad-business-for-state-to-allow-main-children-s-hospital-builder-to-step-down-1.3824141 |
Thanks to Conta Verde, a new initiative launched in Brazil by the Enel Group's electricity distribution business Coelce, it is now possible to contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in exchange for a discount on energy bills. Coelce had previously promoted the Ecoelceprogramme as a part of Enabling Electricityinitiative, which made waste collection financially beneficial for customers.
The system developed by Coelce's Research & Development team measures both the amount of CO2 emissions produced by each client's electricity consumption and the amount saved through the recycling of waste. Those participating in the programme receive a discount on their electricity bills proportional to the cut in emissions.
Ecoelce has been recognised by the United Nations for its contribution to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals. To date, 430,000 customers have benefited from the programme, more than 18 tonnes of garbage have been collected and the total number of discounts on utility bills amount to 2.38 million Brazilian Reais (BRL).
To take part in the programme, customers need to simply show their electricity bill to a service store or to one of the company's waste collection centres and they will receive an Ecoelce card. Each type of waste has a specific discount rate, and by using the card the value of that waste is automatically recorded on the customer's bill. If the bonus is greater than the total amount of the bill, the difference will be discounted on future bills. | 2019-04-22T00:12:53 | https://www.enel.com/media/news/d/2015/01/coelce-helping-those-who-help-the-environment |
I had decided on a small breed and wanted someone playful & a bit cheeky /mischievous.
Well, you don't get better than Koco! She is extremely intelligent and eager to please, very loyal and nurturing. Shih Tzu dogs love people and children are their favourite.
She is patient and likes and obeys anything you tell her to do.
If you tell her she's a good girl, you should reward while you're telling her --whether that's lifting for a cuddle or going to get a treat. A little diamond x.
So, I have to admit that this breed is my favorite. It is not that I don't like all dogs and each breed has it's special attributes and traits that endear them to your heart, but there is something about a Shih Tzu that is hard to put into words.
Is it their big dark eyes that stare up at you?
Is it their desire to be with you all the time?
Maybe it is their playful nature that keeps you laughing?
It could simply be the kisses and cuddles you get when you have a bad day.
They are truly a breed that doesn't mind a hug, and they are so ready for an adventure whether it is a hike or a snuggle on the couch.
Personality wise, they are special.
Grooming can be an issue as they are a long coated breed that requires quite a bit of brushing.
Housetraining doesn't come easily to most Shih Tzu and they do have some health issues associated with their brachycephalic status. All in all, they are a great breed for singles, couples, families with children and seniors who need a furry child to call their own.
I have had dogs all my life but recently lost my Shih Tzu to advanced cancer at the age of 15. I miss her terribly and now I'm trying to get or find another. I cannot afford a great deal of money as I am elderly and on a fixed income. I'm looking every day for my next companion! Thank you! | 2019-04-19T02:30:25 | https://www.smalldogplace.com/koco-living-with-a-shih-tzu-dog.html |

An exhibition of dozens of collaborative drawings and sculptures that has appeared in three of Canada’s largest cities is ending its run in Nanaimo.
The show, called Earthlings, was conceived and curated by Toronto artist Shary Boyle and features work by her and six Nunavut artists: Roger Aksadjuak, Pierre Aupilardjuk, John Kurok and Leo Napayok from Rankin Inlet, Shuvinai Ashoona from Cape Dorset and Jessie Kenalogak of Baker Lake.
Naomi Potter, director of Calgary’s Esker Foundation gallery, the institution taking the show on the road, describes the works as speaking to the interdependency ad permeability of the human and animal worlds, as many of the works depict uncanny human-animal hybrids.
Potter said she was unfamiliar with the ceramic work coming out of Rankin Inlet and was “blown away” by the artists. She said subarctic Canadians are missing out.
“It’s really wonderful when you’re confronted with things that you don’t know,” she said.
The full show debuted at Esker at the beginning of 2017 and smaller versions have since been exhibited at the Doris McCarthy gallery in Toronto and the UQAM gallery in Montreal. From Aug. 3 to Oct. 6 Earthlings concludes its tour at the Nanaimo Art Gallery.
“It’s an incredible opportunity to bring these really distinct art practices to the community of Nanaimo,” NAG curator Jesse Birch said of the show.
Potter estimates that half the drawings and three quarters of the sculptures will be shown in Nanaimo. Esker curator Shauna Thompson, who curated Earthlings with Boyle, said the heart and integrity of the exhibition are still in tact.
“I think people come in not really knowing what to expect,” Thompson said.
Thompson has chaperoned Earthlings during its four-city tour. Once its Nanaimo showing concludes, the exhibit will be disassembled and its pieces returned to the private collections to which they belong.
“On one level I’m going to be really sad to not see this work all together again, probably ever. But I also feel comforted knowing that it’s going back to homes where it’s loved,” Thompson said, looking at the freshly assembled display.
WHAT’S ON … Opening reception for Earthlings takes place at the Nanaimo Art Gallery on Thursday, Aug. 2 at 7 p.m. Show runs until Oct. 6. An artist talk with Shary Boyle will be held on Oct. 4 at 7 p.m. at VIU Building 355, Room 203. | 2019-04-26T07:41:19 | https://www.nanaimobulletin.com/entertainment/drawing-and-sculpture-exhibition-earthlings-ends-tour-at-nanaimo-art-gallery/ |
More than 1,000 Algerian judges said on Monday they would refuse to oversee an election in which under-fire President Abdelaziz Bouteflika participates.
The move represents one of the biggest blows to the ailing leader, with judges shredding their long-standing neutrality and effectively backing a protest movement that started three weeks ago and was sparked by the president’s announcement that he will run for a fifth term in office despite deteriorating health.
In a statement on Sunday, the judges added that they were forming a new association "to restore the gift of justice".
"We announce our intention to abstain from ... supervising the election process against the will of the people, which is the only source of power," said the judges.
Judges should join an effort to "declare that we are the people", they said in a statement.
Algerian Justice Minister Tayeb Louh, a member of Bouteflika's inner circle, said on Monday that judges should remain neutral.
"The independence and integrity of the judge must be consistent whatever the reasons," Ennahar TV quoted him as saying.
The judges' defiance comes as leading clerics refused to bow to government pressure to issue pro-government sermons, a further setback for the embattled president in the predominantly Muslim country.
"Leave us to do our job, do not interfere," Imam Djamel Ghoul, leader of an independent group of clerics, said in remarks to reporters.
Bouteflika, 82, arrived back in Algiers on Sunday from Switzerland after undergoing what authorities said were "routine medical checks". Protesters flooded the streets of the capital chanting "Bouteflika, there will be no fifth term".
Young Algerians are desperate for jobs and angry about unemployment and corruption, and complain that their leaders still dwell on the Algerian independence movement's victory over France in 1962 instead of improving living standards for the future.
Spearheaded by students, the protests have brought together all classes of Algerian society, among them women, trade unions, lawmakers and members of the ruling FLN party which has dominated Algerian politics for more than half a century.
Lawyers have also played a prominent role in the protests, taking to the streets in their customary black robes, with the national association of lawyers demanding that authorities postpone the election and set up a transitional government.
In the clearest indication yet that the generals sympathise with protesters, the country's most powerful military figure said the military and the people had a united vision of the future, state TV reported. Lieutenant General Gaed Salah did not mention the unrest.
Bouteflika has rarely been seen in public since a stroke in 2013. He faces the toughest fight of his 20-year-old rule, following a tenure in which he became the north African country's most powerful president in 30 years. | 2019-04-20T09:14:26 | https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/over-1000-algerian-judges-refuse-oversee-election-if-bouteflika-runs |

Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport (MRIA) (IATA: HRI, ICAO: VCRI) is an international airport serving southeast Sri Lanka. Rajapaksa International Airport (also known as the Hambantota International Airport (HIA), Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport (MRIA) is an international airport serving the city of Hambantota in southeast Sri Lanka. Upon completion, Mattala International Airport will be Sri Lanka’s second international airport, after Bandaranayake International Airport (BIA) and the Ratmalana Airport is a domestic airport of Colombo.
It will also serve as the secondary hubs for Sri Lankan Airlines and Mihin Lanka. It was initially planned to build an international airport serving the south of Sri Lanka at Weerawila, but the plans were scrapped due to environmental concerns. The site was then moved to Mattala, a small town 15 km north of Hambantota. Construction on the $209 million first phase of the airport began in November 2009; it will be opened on 18 March 2013.
The new international airport is expected to expand the local aviation industry whilst being a catalyst for the country’s economic development enabling international trade, tourism, vocational training and employment. It is being implemented as an eco-friendly project. The airport is estimated to cost US $210 million and, by the end of construction, will cover 2,000 hectares. It is being built to be compatible with the latest Airbus A380 aircraft and has been designed according to recommendations of the International Civil Aviation Organization.
The airport is designed to facilitate for over 800 foreign passengers at peak hours and several local passengers per every 1000 km² inside the buildings. It will be made to support air-sea cargo transshipment in conjunction with the nearby Hambantota Port, which is about 15 miles away, and would act as an alternative to the Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) from the date of its completion in 2011. The Chinese government is providing financial assistance for the project.
The airport is being constructed by the China Harbour Engineering Company. Upon completion, the airport will be operated by Airport and Aviation Services (Sri Lanka) Ltd. The runway, apron and taxiways were fully constructed by the end of February 2012. Inaugural test flight landed in the airport at 12.38 p.m. on 16 October 2012.
Sri Lanka has a myriad of historical sites all over to visit.
History unfolds before a visitor’s eyes in Sri Lanka as if in a live broadcast. A concerned visitor might be able to resort to a sort of time travel, effortlessly and measure the depth and breadth of the culture and perhaps even the way ancients thought and behaved. Number of identified archeological sites surpasses the amount in whole of China. They span for 2500 years only, because no stone inscriptions were deciphered belonging to earlier periods. Let’s keep our fingers crossed on that matter.
Communicational mishaps are comparatively less in Sri Lanka.
With a literacy rate of the population reaching second place in Asia, the probability of communicational mishaps are minimal. Let loosening your tantrums are minimal, as well.
Sri Lanka has remarkably improved tourist safety and security.
Civil wars were a bygone era. The surplus resources were re-directed to development and public security.
Friendly and helping attitude of the general public and the unabashed willingness to respect foreigners. Some socialogists attribute this unique friendlyness to heredity and give varying reasons.
More to see in less travel.
There are several ecological zones, such as rain forest, flood plains, irrigated land, coniferous woods, bird marshes, balmy beaches and high elevation towns getting occasional morning frost, compacted together into a land mass 268 miles long and 139 miles wide. Experience more with less fatigue in minimal time. That’s what a tourist really needs.
Select your wildlife destinations from a large list of sanctuaries. Sri Lanka has a very high bird density. You will be surprised to encounter a lot of feathered marvals within any home garden. Apart from wildlife reservations, there are elephant orphanages and turtle hatcheries.
Good beaches are available all around. All beaches are sandy unless coral reefs reach the shoreline as in extreme north. East has a world famous sea-surfing beach.
There are several reputed recluses for meditating, spiritual cleansing, physical rejuvanating or simply relaxing.
Advantages of using RIA to enter Sri Lanka.
Don’t you think it’s a big advantage to start your holiday right away in countryside where the holiday truly belongs. Modern airport facility is in the proximity of beaches, hotels, resorts, ruins and wild-life reservations. Obviously the hotels, motels and lodges here are affordable than in the capital city.
Mattala is situated on southern-most sea coast, 240 km away from Colombo. Access to Colombo city is quicker than ever, using the Southern Express Highway.
in the glorious past where the distinct horizontally-stick-reinforced silk sails of Chinese treasure junks called sampans flutter majestically. You might as well dwell deeply into your thoughts and almost certainly hear the cacophony of Chinese Greek, Yemeni, Siamese and Indonesian sailors and traders mingling together and haggling aloud.
Public transportation is not recommended for a visitor unless and until the visitor becomes highly street-wise. Furthermore he must have, twice the time otherwise required, at his disposal. The apparent gain in fare will be easily offset by long waiting times. Undoubtedly the real cost will be more at the end.
Renting a car gives you the freedom of pace selection in either hot or lukewarm situations. Renting a car with driver is the most popular way of the standard tourist. It relieves you to concentrate fully on the real purpose and the task of the visit.
Consider renting a car with driver from Lakpura Travels at Rajapaksa International Airport (RIA). Once you decide on your way-points and the destination, let the Lakpura personnel optimally utilize the time factor. Our expertise will be invaluable in saving time and money. The strength of Lakpura Car Rental Service lies in hand picked and well groomed staff. It is true that we are specialists, but we take utmost care, never to take the famous Sri Lankan smile away from our faces, and the courtesy and mannerism from our heart.

The company is among the top most profit-making blue chip companies in Sri Lanka. It is actively involved in the national infrastructure development drive of the GOSL especially in the field of aviation and the construction of the Southern International Airport at Mattala in the Hambantota District is one of such mega project, which is currently on its public works schedule. The company has identified the need for doubling the handling capacity at Bandaranaike International Airport(BIA) within the next five years and construction works necessary for such capacity enhancement are planned to commence in the near future. AASL is being transformed into a marketing oriented blue-chip public company capable of withstanding competition and benefit from competitive advantage. The company is planning to promote domestic aviation using the existing infrastructure at civil aerodromes scattered around the country and spread its wings covering the whole island.
Sri Lanka’s strategic geographical location as a gateway between the east and west is attracting a significant increase in cargo throughput. Some of the significant achievements are: Cargo operations in 2010 increased 21% over the previous year (second-highest growth ever recorded! at BIA) Export cargo increased by 19% Import cargo rose by 25% An increase in capacity, flight frequencies and cargo flights A ‘green channel’ introduced for live animals and perishables, cold room facilities and sophisticated screening facilities, attracting freight forwarders. | 2019-04-19T06:18:07 | https://lanka.com/transport/information/rajapaksa-international-airport-mattala/ |

Melanie's life changed when the results from a routine mammogram indicated she had breast cancer. Her journey through cancer diagnosis and treatment were assisted with the kindness and caring of health care staff and doctors at KBRH.
"I woke up one morning prepared myself for a routine mammogram. I patiently waited over the next week for results. Unfortunately a biopsy was needed. The next call I received was from my doctor “I’m sorry to tell you your results showed cancer”.I still remember that feeling of numbness and thinking this can’t be happening.
I underwent 2 partial mastectomies removal of some lymph nodes 8 rounds of chemotherapy, blood work every two weeks, ECGs, MRIs, PET scan, removal of my ovaries, carpal tunnel surgery and a month of radiation treatment in Kelowna. Going through cancer is not only emotionally and physically difficult on yourself but also extremely hard on your family. With the support of my family, friends and the wonderful care from my amazing husband Bruce who kept me organized with doctors appointments, medications and love throughout this journey, I new I would survive. I had decided from the start to hold my head high my shoulders back and go through this chapter of life the easiest and fastest way possible.I feel very thankful and grateful that we have KBRH in our community. I can’t say enough about the amazing care that I received from Dr. Scotland and staff in the oncology department. Dr Merg who was so kind and conscientious of the cosmetic outcome. He is a wonderful surgeon. The nurses that cared for me during and after surgery were fantastic right down to the lab technicians and receptionists. As well as the BC Cancer Center in Kelowna, what an amazing healthcare facility to have access to only a few hours away. Thank you KBRH for your outstanding services!
Larry Dux knew that his life was forever altered when he was diagnosed with Stage 4 Prostate Cancer. It was during this stressful time that Larry and his wife Sue were counselled by KBRH’s Urologist Dr. Robinson for Larry to undergo a radical prostatectomy.
Mary and Roger Austin feel that KBRH is a cornerstone of what makes living here in the Lower Columbia so amazing. They decided to become part of the community who supports the hospital and it's staff, by donating to the KBRH Health Foundation.
Roger and I have been very fortunate to grow up here in the Lower Columbia region, my own family having lived here for several generations and Roger, who moved here as a teenager. When we were younger we didn’t fully appreciate our region’s amazing access to world-class health care, and took it for granted. As we got older and moved away for school and work, we realized that the level of care we had grown up with did not necessarily exist everywhere.
When we considered donating to the Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital, so many thoughts came to mind. When we delivered our daughter in the beautifully renovated maternity ward we felt so welcomed by the staff and comfortable in the space. As our children grow, our family has received excellent care in the emergency ward for their broken bones and other urgent medical issues. When we are in our hospital, we feel very fortunate knowing that the whole community has access to incredible specialists and a talented team of nurses, doctors and support staff who take the work they do seriously, and go above-and-beyond in the care they provide. Our hospital is a cornerstone of what makes living here in the Lower Columbia so amazing and we are happy to be a small part of what the community can do to support it, by donating to the KBRH Health Foundation."
Carolyn Cameron relationship with KBRH is personal. She has been a patient, the parent of a patient and her spouse is a KBRH employee. Carolyn's support for KBRH supports her family and community to receive the benefits of accessible health care.
"Our household gets many solicitations for charities. I am most likely to donate to something if it carries a personal connection or if it moves me in some way. The KBRH Health Foundation is personal. I have used the services of our local hospital as a patient, parent and spouse of an employee. There is nothing like the feeling of contributing to cutting edge equipment, and then directly benefiting from it. Everyone in this area will use the hospital at some point. Why not contribute to a charity which will benefit you and pretty much everyone you know?"
After 2 life threatening medical events were taken care of by KBRH staff for Forrest Drinnan, he decided that giving back would be his focus.
"In April 2015, I experienced tightness in my chest and went to the Emergency Department at KBRH. As I entered the Emergency Department, the great staff of nurses and Dr. Gill took over and within a few minutes determined I was having a heart attack. I was stabilized and transferred to the ICU, but had another heart attack. Dr. Mountain expedited my transfer to Kelowna by Air Ambulance so I would not have to wait over the weekend to have further testing and determine the Angiogram showed severe blockages and I required open heart surgery.
Within 5 days of experiencing chest tightness and visiting the ER at KBRH, I had quadruple bypass surgery at Kelowna General Hospital, convalesced in the Coronary ICU, then onto a ward for recovery. I was released from Kelowna 1 week later after passing all the steps. The care I received in Kelowna was top quality as well.
In September 2015, I experienced another heart attack and went to Emergency in Trail. I was ambulanced to Kelowna the next day and had an Angioplasty, where a stent was placed in a heart vein to improve the blood flow. I was released the following day.
These were two life threatening events that were taken care of by the medical team in Trail and by the surgical staff in Kelowna. I would not be here to tell my story today, without the quick work of the medical staff who stabilized me so I could be transported for the necessary procedures. The follow up care, right here in Trail, has been exceptional.
How lucky are we to have these facilities in our area. The equipment used was state of the art and assisted the team to diagnose my problem and get me stable.
I am proud to be a volunteer who has raised funds for our hospital and will continue to praise the level of care we expect here in Trail. I encourage others to help where they can."
"The KBRH Health Foundation plays a central role in providing the highest level of care to patients in the Kootenay Boundary. I would not be able to provide the scope of surgical care to my patients without the support of our local hospital Foundation. I truly believe that one of the best ways to ensure continued excellence and promote further improvements in care for patients in our region is through strong support of the KBRH Health Foundation. I am grateful for the support that the Foundation has provided to the KBRH Urology program. Please join me in support of the KBRH Heath Foundation so we can improve health care provision across all departments at KBRH." | 2019-04-21T04:58:12 | http://kbrhhealthfoundation.ca/Testimonials.aspx |
I think it’s interesting to compare this new Hot Rod poster with this poster from Talladega Nights.
Both are recent comedies with sports related themes. And both went with a poster featuring the main character starring into the distance, with several of the other characters floating around them.
However there are also some differences. The poster for Hot Rod features a lot more white space and is generally less busy than the Talladega Nights poster. It also has more of a vintage feeling to it. And of course, only one poster has Will Ferrell in it. Which is a very significant difference since Will’s face is enough to get millions of butts into the theater seats.
I quite like the Hot Rod poster, even tough it’s not an especially original design. It’s manages to walk the line of being funny without being ridiculous. But I’m still worried that this movie might need more creative and bold posters in order to sell it, since it lacks any big names or an attention grabbing premise. Will Ferrell as a Nascar racer sells itself. Andy Samberg as a deluded stunt man not so much. | 2019-04-24T02:10:19 | https://movieposteraddict.com/2007/06/22/new-hot-rod-poster/ |
Do I need to license and use other Eracent ITAM & SAM applications to benefit from IT-Pedia?
No, you don’t. IT-Pedia customers with complementary – and competing – ITSM, ITAM and SAM toolsets utilize IT-Pedia data to populate and update these systems with normalized data and detailed product attributes. IT-Pedia can be used to enhance the value of applications from ServiceNow, Remedy, Cherwell, Snow Software, Flexera, Ivanti, Axios, and many other vendors.
How is data from IT-Pedia shared with other IT management platforms?
IT-Pedia provides a published API to interface with the appropriate tables and fields in destination systems.
Can I export my selected product data into a file to review or edit?
Yes. The IT-Pedia user interface allows you to select multiple products and add them to the export list. When your list of products to be exported is ready you will be able to view your list, manage it and then export the product details into a .CSV file.
Do users need to download the entire contents of IT-Pedia with every update, like we do would have to with other Data Platforms?
No. IT-Pedia’s user interface allows you to select which products and attributes you would like to download at any given time reducing the time and system resources required for each data download. These settings can be saved to make the process repeatable.
IT-Pedia is licensed as a service subscription with several different options available. It is securely hosted by Eracent, so no on-premise installation is required.
Do I need to install a local application to access the IT-Pedia product database?
No local installation is required. IT-Pedia subscribers access the IT-Pedia product database either via an online, browser-based interface or via an API interface. With the browser-based interface, you can search for specific products or manufacturers using intuitive and user-friendly filtering options. With the API interface, you use specific API calls in order to receive the data that is of interest to you.
How often is the product and vendor data in the IT-Pedia library updated?
The data is updated every day by a dedicated team whose sole focus is the content and quality of the IT-Pedia database. We continuously focus on adding products and applications that our enterprise customers utilize and keeping up with new releases from hardware and software vendors.
What if I don’t see some of the products that my organization uses in IT-Pedia?
Part of the subscription agreement includes Eracent’s commitment to promptly research and add those products and attributes to the database. Our priority is to ensure that we include the products that our customers use. Having millions of products in the database is nice, but if IT-Pedia does not include the products that you need, then it’s not as valuable to you.
Why would I consider IT-Pedia compared to one of the other Data Platforms on the market?
Competing Data Platforms are highly functional with nice operational analytics, and their price point reflects that. Eracent is working with numerous companies who got sticker shock from competitors, and opted to go without product enrichment data rather than pay the prices they were quoted. We don’t think that’s right. Many of these organizations are building, updating and normalizing the data in their ITSM, ITAM, SAM, Procurement and other systems and don’t need the extra functionality for at least a couple years. They have found IT-Pedia to be a perfect data enrichment solution that meets their needs during the system implementation and growth stages. | 2019-04-26T00:07:57 | https://eracent.com/it-pedia/faq/ |

So it's been a little over ten years since PM5K put out their platinum-selling record Tonight the Stars Revolt! and quite possibly the one with their most-known tracks (When Worlds Collide, Nobody's Real, etc) and after they pulled Anyone For Doomsday? from releasing, their momentum has gone down along with their popularity. Transform and Destroy What You Enjoy were pretty big jumps from their spacey, electronic metal that got their claim to fame and it's critically acclaimed that these two albums were pretty horrible. I'll admit, DWYE wasn't their best work. At all. Since then, nobody's really cared about them save for a few die-hard fans.
They've released two new songs (Super Villain and V is for Vampire) on iTunes and Amazon.com that pretty much got nothing but positive feedback from older listeners and the naysayers. It sounds like they're going back to those days and with the revealing of their new album titled 'Somewhere On the Other Side of Nowhere' due on 10/06/09 and with it brought three new tracks. They did a radio interview a few days ago and they whipped out three brand new tracks that have got pretty awesome feedback.
With this, I'm all for saying that PM5K's back.
Re: New Powerman 5000 stuff.
I think what changed is that their first album was produced by Spider's brother, Rob Zombie, and so it had a LOT of his influence in the music, whereas the other were not, to my knowledge.
Nah, I wouldn't think so at least. The last thing Rob did with PM5K was extra vocals in a song they did ten years ago (Blastoff to Nowhere). Spider actually did an interview with him at ComicCon for Fearnet and he's been busy working on Halloween 2 and other things.
I wouldn't say that SOTOSON will be nowhere near as funky as their first album.
I liked Transform the most. The first album in which Spider actually did sing, not just pretend to be singing. | 2019-04-19T03:24:57 | http://forum.machinaesupremacy.com/index.php/topic,6763.0.html |
In-hospital mortality increased by 19.4 percent and hospital readmissions increased by 6.5 percent for patients admitted during a strike.
U.S. hospitals were excluded from collective bargaining laws for three decades longer than other sectors because of fears that strikes by nurses might imperil patients health. Today, while unionization has been declining in general, it is growing rapidly in hospitals, with the number of unionized workers rising from 679,000 in 1990 to nearly one million in 2008. In Do Strikes Kill? Evidence from New York State (NBER Working Paper No. 15855), co-authors Jonathan Gruber and Samuel Kleiner carefully examine the effects of nursing strikes on patient care and outcomes.
The researchers match data on nurses' strikes in New York State from 1984 to 2004 to data on hospital discharges, including information on treatment intensity, patient mortality, and hospital readmission. They conclude that nurses' strikes were costly to hospital patients: in-hospital mortality increased by 19.4 percent and hospital readmissions increased by 6.5 percent for patients admitted during a strike. Among their sample of 38,228 such patients, an estimated 138 more individuals died than would have without a strike, and 344 more patients were readmitted to the hospital than if there had been no strike. "Hospitals functioning during nurses' strikes do so at a lower quality of patient care," they write.
Still, at hospitals experiencing strikes, the measures of treatment intensity -- that is, the length of hospital stay and the number of procedures performed during the patients stay -- show no significant differences between striking and non-striking periods. Patients appear to receive the same intensity of care during union work stoppages as during normal hospital operations. Thus, the poor outcomes associated with strikes suggest that they might reduce hospital productivity.
These poor health outcomes increased for both emergency and non-emergency hospital patients, even as admissions of both groups decreased by about 28 percent at hospitals with strikes. The poor health outcomes were not apparent either before or after the strike in the striking hospitals, suggesting that they are attributable to the strike itself. And, the poor health outcomes do not appear to do be due to different types of patients being admitted during strike periods, because patients admitted during a strike are very similar to those admitted during other periods.
Hiring replacement workers apparently does not help: hospitals that hired replacement workers performed no better during strikes than those that did not hire substitute employees. In each case, patients with conditions that required intensive nursing were more likely to fare worse in the presence of nurses' strikes. | 2019-04-22T20:19:57 | https://www.nber.org/digest/jul10/w15855.html |

The School Library Strategy National Advisory Group was formed during the early stages in the development of Vibrant Libraries, Thriving Schools. Chaired by Martina McChrystal, Director of Library Services at the University of Glasgow, the group was made up of representatives from organisations across the education sector. It consisted of a combination of leads and key stakeholders who met regularly to discuss progress and the plan for implementation.
To assist with the development of the strategy, five thematic working groups were arranged to carry out further site visits and research. These represented the five strategic themes of the strategy.
Vibrant Libraries, Thriving Schools set out five key strategic aims. Each aim is linked to the national outcomes and indicators outlined in the Scottish Government's National Improvement Framework, and their priorities for Scottish education.

So, why do we offer employee relocation packages anyway?
Let’s face it. It’s no longer a hidden secret that a comprehensive employee relocation package can win your business top talent from around the globe. Everyone’s doing it, and so should your company–or at least, it’s definitely something you should really consider to stay competitive. A swanky perk once reserved for upper management, relocation packages are actually far more common today. From C-suite to entry-level, organizations are offering tailored relocation packages to secure and retain skilled employees.
Relocation Benefits: What Does A Relocation Policy Include?
At a high level, employee relocation packages cover an employee’s moving and other work-related expenses. But, of course, there are nuances to that and each company’s stance on what to include in these packages totally varies.
By providing a relocation package, employers give financial and other types of assistance to alleviate the employee and their family of the expensive inconvenience of relocation.
When it comes to offering a relocation package to your employees, it’s essential to cater to their needs. A recent study found that more than 70 percent of employees saw mobility as a career growth opportunity. Moreover, with 20 percent of employees saying they’ve quit a job after being denied a relocation opportunity, offering a sub-par moving experience may be off-putting to your potential job candidates, resulting in your company losing out on top talent.
Your goal in a relocation package should be to provide your employee with peace of mind while incentivizing them to accept the job offer. A great relocation experience will attract top talent and boost your company’s reputation–the holy grail!
So what should be included in your policy?
When it comes to building a policy, you need to consider what best suits your business. However, it’s optimal if you also keep in mind how varied the needs of your employees can be. No one package will suit all of your employees. Especially when it comes to the next generation workforce, dominated primarily by Millennials.
Types of Relocation Packages- what is the best solution for my business?
Tech employees in leadership roles are being advised to pass on companies that are not willing to extend generous relocation packages that meet their family’s needs. And no one wants to miss out on that PERFECT candidate!
So it’s no surprise that 94 percent of HR executives agree that mobility is vital for increasing diversity, attracting new talent and retaining valuable employees.
Offering a comprehensive relocation package and administering it in the right way is vital to your business. Next, we look at the top ways businesses are offering relocation packages to employees.
Lump Sum (the most popular) – A fixed, one-time payment is given directly to the employee to cover all moving costs.
Maximum potential for a highly bespoke relocation package that best suits each employee. The employee has ownership, controlling how to spend money for the maximum benefit. No hidden or unexpected fees for the business. Simple, fast solution.
Employers don’t typically provide the transferee with much support with lump sum moves. Which can be difficult for the transferees to manage on their own. Unless you work with a company that can help your transferees manage their lump sum moves.
Reimbursement -The employee pays for all expenses out of pocket and is later reimbursed by the company. Additionally, employers will likely set a limit above which they will not reimburse.
Cost effective if the employer sets a max reimbursement limit.
Tedious record keeping (tracking receipts) is required by the employee, during an already stressful time. The employee may not have readily available funds to cover the expense.
Direct Billing – You hire and directly pay for a moving company and additional expenses and services required.
Research, administration and project management of all moving parts is time-consuming. Risk of working with non-reputable parties within the industry due to lack of knowledge within the marketplace.
Outsourced Relocation – Outsourcing of all logistics associated with relocation to a third party that organizes a wide range of services.
The range of services may not cater to every employee.
Lump sum / self-service payments, a one-time payment by the employer to the employee to cover relocation costs, continue to grow in popularity–especially across younger generations. This “next generation”, which is comprised predominantly of Millennials and younger Gen X’ers, is already the leading majority of today’s global workforce population.
Why are Lump sum/self-service packages gaining popularity?
Empowerment. Employees have the flexibility to choose how and when they spend their relocation benefits and the ability to customize this for their own unique needs. And come on, who doesn’t love the idea of something created specifically with their needs in mind?!
This section is by far the most exciting part of employee relocation; taxes!
Ok, so, maybe not. But it’s an important one! It’s critical to know what and who is paying the government, and how you can offset any tax liabilities.
First things first, the government will consider a lump sum payment as income, and therefore it’s taxable. But no fear, there’s a way for you to pay out your employee so they will be able to utilize every penny going their way. Paying your lump-sum with a tax gross-up is a way to free up the full amount of cash for your employee’s relocation.
What does tax gross-up mean?
A gross-up is when you increase the total amount of a payment to allocate for the taxes you must withhold from said payment. Let’s say your employee needs $5,000 for her move. To ensure she receives the full $5,000 required, you would issue gross wages for more than $5,000 to cover the cost of taxes. When you then withhold taxes from the payment, the net amount should equal the amount you agreed to.
Simply put, the gross-up reimburses the employee for the withheld taxes.
How Much Should Your Relocation Package Be?
An average relocation package costs between $21,327-$24,913 for a transferee who is a renter and $61,622-$79,429 for a transferee who is a homeowner.
This baseline number comes from a 2015 U.S. Transfer Activity Report by Worldwide ERC.
Of course, this number is just an average of what larger corporations are spending on employee relocation. This number varies from employee to employee, executive vs. new hire, and is contingent on what your organization is willing and able to spend.
Rather than knowing what everyone else spends, it can be more helpful to create a price based on what you are willing to offer in your relocation package.
More money and career advancement are the obvious incentives you can offer a candidate, but to stand out amongst the competition, you should consider offering personalized relocation services. Because each recruit will be unique!
Only 2 percent of companies help with spousal employment.
Only 16 percent will assume a loss for a recruit’s underwater mortgage.
Only 39 percent offer information about the local community and schools.
Even a modest effort in this direction, such as discussing circumstances and offering a lump sum for a highly personalized moving experience, could make the difference. Play your cards right and a relocation package should be a win-win for everyone!
Google “employee relocation supplier” and you’ll pull up nearly 4 million results. There are not hundreds, not thousands, but MILLIONS of options out there to aid your business with employee relocation. With so many options, how are you to choose what’s right for your business? It’s hard enough deciding what you should eat for dinner, right?
Know your values and mission to align with a company that reflects the same.
When you extend a job offer to a candidate and begin the relocation process, you want to ensure the company you’re partnering with is both an extension and a reflection of your workplace. If you’re Google & hiring new developers, you wouldn’t partner with a company whose website and tech is lacking. Facebook wouldn’t employ a supplier who prefers to do business the old fashion way, over the phone and lots of paperwork. Aim to select a company that values and champions the operations you do within your own business.
Every employee will need and want something different. Your employee may be interested in full service or a container move. They might be looking for more lifestyle solutions, or require quality recommendations to integrate into their new community. Whatever the circumstance, it’s essential you partner with a company that offers flexible, bespoke solutions.
Customized can sometimes translate to high cost, but this shouldn’t be the case. Aim to work with a supplier with a wide network of trusted movers and service providers within the industry. That way, they can offer your employee competitive and affordable price points. A supplier should carefully qualify the move and provide the optimal recommended option that meets the needs and budget of your transferee.
Remember, employee relocation can make or break your employee retention. A supplier that values customer service is essential, not only for your peace of mind but for your employee’s as well. It’s best if you focus on your work while leaving the move management up to the professionals. Relying on a supplier to ‘take care’ of your employee is extremely important. In this day and age, it’s all about the overall experience.
Cutting costs doesn’t have to be a complex math equation. You can hold up a magnifying glass to your relocation bill and see where you went wrong, or you can take a step in the right direction and hire the right company to manage this on budget for you.
How can you do this? It’s simple. Ask your employee questions or partner with a company who can ask those questions for you. A thorough Needs Assessment will not only give your employee a sense of security but also ensure you pay a lump sum that will cover exactly what your employee needs.
Concierge sounds fancy; technology sounds fast. But what’s the difference between the two, and can you get the benefits of both?
Relocation technology manages all of the logistics required for a move. This technology helps both employers and employees control and track all aspects associated with moving for work. Sounds like Sci-Fi, but it works like a charm! Companies like eBay and Amazon partner with tech companies that help them do just this.
Omni-Channel Communication such as a CRM platform that allows you to connect with your customers via a central communication hub easily. You can quickly text, email and make phone calls from the CRM to save time and money.
Inventory management. Some companies offer a trusted computer vision algorithm partnered with a human-centric expert team that produces highly accurate cube sheets! Hello, high tech!!
How does Shyft combine the two?
There are benefits to concierge services and relocation technology; Shyft brings benefits from each solution together. Shyft combines the logistic management of relocation technology with the personalised service you can only find with concierge companies. This quick video explains exactly what Shyft does. So go ahead and take a quick peek!
They’re all exciting! However, they’re equally stressful.
Keep it simple, stupid is a sales acronym used in the hit U.S. comedy series, The Office. This acronym is useful even when applied outside of the sales process. When it comes to your employee relocation policy, keep it simple! Policies shouldn’t have ambiguous language and industry jargon. Think of your policy as a straightforward guide for your employees. Explain any complex processes and make key documents that require signatures or agreements apparent. Keep it simple (or straightforward, in our case).
Taking a general interest in your employee’s well being can make the most significant difference. Your job isn’t over once your employee settles in their new city and finishes their first day of work. Encourage your employee’s surrounding staff, especially their manager, to check in on your relocated employee. We’re all humans! We like to know that people care. Don’t worry, this doesn’t have to be a heavy chat along the lines of “How are you coping? Are you managing to survive in this new city?” but something light and more like, “What kind of food do you like? There’s a great kebab shop just down the street from the office that you should check out.” Welcoming your new employee to a new city can be as extravagant as a team night out or as simple as grabbing a quick coffee outside the office.
It’s highly likely that your employee will have many questions along the way. Your organization should create an open door policy to avoid any unspoken hesitations. For logistic and lifestyle needs, Shyft offers a talented team of service experts that make sure your employees are happy.

8 Ways to Manage Your Stress - Learn How to manage your stress Today!
1.0.2 How to Manage your Stress- Can it be good even?
1.0.3 How to Manage your Stress – Don’t you want to get rid of it?
1.0.10 How to Manage your Stress –When you should get started?
You have probably heard and experienced “stress”, but did you know what does it actually mean? Today we will talk about how to manage your stress. We will also see what are the 8 ways to manage our stress completely. What is actually happening in your body that makes you feel weird and uncomfortable? In this article, you will find out everything you need to know about this strange thing, that is still somehow unclear to a humankind. You will also learn how to protect yourself from its impact.
Occupational stress – refers to stress that is caused by the job. It is often manifested because of a lack of self-confidence, the pressure of meeting the deadlines/saving the job, not feeling support from colleagues etc.
Psychological stress – the feeling of strain and pressure that sometimes, in small amounts, can be even good for you.
Some of the most common symptoms and signs of stress are frequent headaches, teeth grinding, back and stomach pain, tremors, sweaty hands etc.
How to Manage your Stress- Can it be good even?
First of all, we need to be clear – stress is not always bad. When you are in fear, your body will naturally react and give you strength and motivation to “survive”. It is especially known to athletes who are constantly under pressure of winning.Although positive stress sometimes may be good for you, most of the time it is very bad. Stress can cause the strokes, heart attacks and mental illnesses such as depression or anxiety. It can lead you to the certain behavior changes, that can destroy your health too. Some of that behaviors are smoking, drinking, eating unhealthy, sleeping less than needed, and all these are the most dangerous things for human health.
How to Manage your Stress – Don’t you want to get rid of it?
Stressful events can make you feel very bad. You might start focusing only on the bad things. You must not think negative. Always look on the bright side. Negative thinking can make you feel afraid, insecure and anxious. This is the first and the most important step, but it must be accompanied by other.
This is one of the most reliable ways to get rid of stress, and if you think of it just for a second – you will realize that it is very easy thing to do. We all leave things for the last minute, and then we start to panic. Try to avoid this. Organize yourself so that you can manage your time in order to meet all deadlines. It is natural that man opposes everything that is not fun, but a little of work every day actually keeps you healthy (in some way).
It is bad when a person spends too much time in front of the computer, not having any physical activity. You can search for some workout programs online, but there are easy exercises that you can do right now, in front of your computer. Prevent muscles to atrophy simply by stretching your hands, feets, neck, and back. It is not much, but it can be useful if you do not have other options.
Stress can cause a sleeping disorder. Having too much pressure and obligations prevent you from sleeping well and sleeping enough. Do not try to finish your jobs when it is sleep time. To be healthy, an average grown person needs minimum 7 hours of sleep daily. Everything below that can danger your health. Do not ignore this, sleep is a very important thing. When we sleep, our brain is recovering from work, in order to be ready for tomorrow’s challenges.
You should not be at home or at the office whole day. Grab some fresh air that may give you the strength and motivation to continue doing your job. Try to take a walk every day. Some scientist says that 30 minutes of walking per day is more than enough to stay in shape and to be healthy.
To put your mind off work from time to time is required in stress prevention. Does not matter how important it is, you should not always think about the job. Spend some time with your family, partner or even your pet. They will also give you confidence and motivation to carry on. Reading a good book, watching a movie or listening to a music, can also help you.
If none of the above, in some way, does work for you-you should definitely try yoga and meditation. Meditation is a state of rest or mental silence, where our attention is aware, but not loaded in thinking. Yoga is the same thing, just accompanied by physical exercise. You can find certain courses online. Do not be lazy to explore.
How to Manage your Stress –When you should get started?
Stress is one of the biggest problems of modern man, just because of his bad and unhealthy habits. In the past, people lived much healthier, and there was almost no stress at all.
You do not need to learn to live under stress, you need to learn how to get over it. Little changes – means a lot. Consider your lifestyle. Respect your body, start living healthy today!

I want to do more interesting algebra problems but there is a bit more to talk about regarding fractions.
If some of this is confusing, please review my previous post on fractions.
Notice a couple of things here. The number of decimal places to the right of the “.” is the same as the number of “0”s in the denominator. Also, for pure decimals where there is no number to the left of “.”, it is customary to put a “0” because the “.” by itself is easy to miss.
So in the future, when we solve equations where fractions or divisions are present, we can change their form to suit us as we need to in order to solve the equation or express the answer in a desired form. Let’s see this tomorrow. | 2019-04-18T12:26:18 | https://davidthemathstutor.com.au/2018/07/18/fractions-and-decimals/ |

If you have been following our blog for a while, you might remember the talented Australian Street Photographer Markus Andersen from Melbourne. We shared a cool video documentary he made about his Street Photography called “Into the Belly of the Beast” and he was also kind enough to participate in “What’s in your Camera Bag Street Hunter” by sharing the contents of his bag.
This time we are writing to share with you the news of the release of Markus’ first photography book called “Rage Against the Light“. You can read more about “Rage Against the Light” on the publisher’s website. From what we can see from the photos available to us and the video which we are sharing below, this looks like an impressive collection of surreal b&w photos by Markus. We can only imagine how cool the photos will look in print!
Inside Markus Andersen’s Camera Bag!
I’m Markus Andersen, I am a Sydney, Australia based photo media artist. After completing a Diploma of Photography at the Sydney Institute of Technology, I have worked professionally as a freelance photographer. Using both traditional film and digital as capture mediums my art practice encompasses documentary, street and conceptual bodies of work looking for the odd, unusual and unsettling in daily life. The gear is pretty simple when shooting personal street / documentary work. Usually always film and I only take a single camera and a back up camera when shooting.
My work has been exhibited in New York, Paris, Istanbul, Toronto, Sydney and the United Kingdom. I have an upcoming exhibition of my work in 2015 at the esteemed Australian Centre For Photography in Sydney, Australia.
“Into the Belly of the Beast” is a short video documentary about Markus Andersen, a Street Photographer from Sydney, Australia. The film has been filmed and directed by Rob Norton.
Markus Andersen is one of those Street Photographers that will shoot with anything that is available. He loves 35mm film, Medium format, Polaroids and also iPhoneography. He loves walking around Australia’s capital and shooting scenes that capture his attention. In Rob Norton’s video, Markus talks about his approach to Street Photography and Photography in general. He explains the reasons why he likes the art and what captures his attention. | 2019-04-24T14:24:07 | https://www.streethunters.net/blog/tag/markus-andersen/ |

Swansea City could face losing two of their key centre-backs going into the new season.
Reports suggest that Alfie Mawson, unsurprisingly, is attracting a lot of interest with Premier League outfits West Ham, Wolves and Fulham hot in pursuit of the 24-year-old.
However, it’s said that Slavisa Jokanovic’s Fulham are leading the race to sign Mawson, who’s valued at over £20 million.
Another key part of the Swans’ defence last season, Federico Fernandez is wanted by Newcastle United after defender Florian Lejeune suffered a cruciate ligament injury in pre-season, ruling the Frenchman out for most of the 2018/19 campaign. Russian Premier League side Krasnodar are also very keen in the Argentinian international.
Most Swansea fans have accepted that Mawson – one of the better players at the Liberty Stadium last term – will be heading out the door. Although if he’s followed out by Fernandez, that could be more of a cause for concern, considering another senior player in that position has departed in Kyle Bartley.
With time running out as transfer deadline day quickly approaches, Graham Potter will have to be sharp in finding a quality replacement should Fernandez leave, with Mike van der Hoorn and Jordi Amat the club’s only recognised centre-backs. | 2019-04-21T14:44:09 | https://readswansea.com/2018/07/29/are-two-swansea-centre-backs-on-the-way-out/ |
Here, for the first time in modern edition, is the third in our series of Johann Nepomuk Hummel’s superb arrangements of seven of Mozart’s piano concertos, the Concerto in C major, K503. Any performer of Mozart’s piano concertos must have wondered how the sparsely notated sections would have been realized at the time, and no one is better placed to provide an answer than the composer’s own pupil.
Most notable with regard to performance practice are Hummel’s efforts to complete Mozart’s text in line with standard 18th-century convention, in passages where the original notation is sparse, or at least not fully comprehensive. His realizations, for example, shed light on such problematic questions as improvised embellishment and the treatment of Eingänge(lead-ins).
Hummel conceived the keyboard part in such a way that it could be performed even without the accompaniment of the other three instruments. | 2019-04-26T08:31:46 | http://www.editionhh.co.uk/shop/item.aspx?itemid=671 |
The U.S. grocery industry is dominated by Walmart Inc (WMT.N) and Kroger but has been in upheaval since last summer, when Amazon’s $13.7 billion deal for Whole Foods sent supermarkets scrambling to match the online retailer on home delivery.
Kroger executives said the deal is beneficial even if significant U.S. delivery demand fails to materialize.
Kroger, which already holds a 1 percent stake in Ocado, will buy new shares equivalent to 5 percent valued at 183 million pounds ($247.5 million), Ocado said. | 2019-04-18T22:59:12 | https://www.reuters.com/article/us-ocado-group-contract-kroger/kroger-inks-ocado-grocery-delivery-deal-to-battle-amazon-threat-idUSKCN1II0L0?feedType=RSS&feedName=businessNews&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+reuters%2FbusinessNews+%28Business+News%29 |

Q. I noticed that the Model A coupe on the cover of the Aug. ’09 issue has the spinner on the right front hub safety wired to the wheel and that the wire is pulling the spinner to the left. If it has been done correctly then that means it is a left-hand thread, meaning you turn the spinner to the left to tighten it. It appears to me that the right rear safety wire is pulling the spinner to the right, meaning the rear is a right-hand thread.
I’m very familiar with safety wiring as I was trained as a jet aircraft mechanic in the Air Force during the early 1970s. I also worked in the aircraft tire shop for some time. Every two-piece wheel has to have every bolt and nut safety wired. The proper way to safety wire is to have the wire pull the bolt or whatever in a tightening direction and though I forget exactly, only so many twists of the wire per inch.
The next thing is something you said in your article about wiring on page 32. I’ve read many articles about wiring over the years and have completely wired several cars from scratch, with no pre-made harness. Anyway, you said “shrink wrap is more effective than insulation tape, and won’t unravel over time.” I always use shrink wrap as it makes for a neater, stronger connection and helps keep out dirt and moisture. As for insulation tape I am thinking you mean what I call black electrical tape. Yes, the electrical tape will start to unravel if you do not end the wrap correctly and I’m going to give you a tip on how to wrap your wire bundle with black electrical tape, which seems to be a lost art today.
One thing I’ve noticed in almost all pictures of a wiring article is how the wires cross over each other, are inter-twined, or loose. Try to maintain the same pattern of wires for the entire length of the bundle. This’ll make for a really nice looking bundle and make it easier to wrap with the tape. When you start to wrap, wrap the tape around the bundle of wires a couple of times then start going at an angle. Take your time and as you make each turn around the bundle maintain the same angle and the same amount of overlap. This takes a little time and effort but will make for a really clean and professional looking job.
When you get to the end, wrap the tape around the bundle a couple of times. Next, cut the tape off about 8 inches too long. Cut the 8-inch length in half length-wise. You now have two 8-inch lengths that you’ll fold in half length-wise, sticky side to sticky side. Take one length and wrap it around the bundle to the left and the other one wrap around the bundle to the right. Now tie them off in a snug double knot and then cut the excess off. The tape will not be able to unravel this way. This is how it was done many years ago when cars came from the factory with the wire bundles wrapped in tape. I’ve done this many times and I’ve never had a tape job come undone.
An old trick of the trade, you might say. This would give your wiring job that old time look instead of using the plastic shrouding material.
A. Thanks Jim, a neat and useful trick of the trade passed on. You’re right, by insulation tape I meant electrical tape. Sometimes my British terminology slips through the editorial net. At least I have stopped calling hoods bonnets and fenders wings! Safety wire should always pull in the direction the fastener is tightened, that way it stops it from working loose.
Q. I have acquired a very interesting and rare car which has a 12-volt positive ground system. The car was made in England. It is a 1952 Alvis TA 21 drophead coupe (to us Americans that’s a convertible). The car has been stored in a barn for 47 years, and will need a cosmetic restoration as well as complete rewiring. The car originally belonged to my cousin who started restoring the car around 1961 and then abandoned the project, as he did not have the garage space. The engine has been completely rebuilt (less than 1,000 miles on it) as well as many new parts installed. This car would make a really unique and cool street rod, as it is aluminum bodied and has suicide doors. I would like to get the car drivable as an antique first, and then consider late-model running gear at a later date. I’ve already purchased a wiring kit, and a set of gauges for it (street rod application). My question is, what would be involved to convert the 12-volt POSITIVE ground system to 12-volt NEGATIVE ground?
A. Cool car, Wayne, and it should make a unique rod as you say. Apart from altering your battery leads to fit on the opposite terminals (the clamps are different sizes for positive and negative), and reversing the two wires on the ignition coil, you have to re-polarize the generator. To do this, first disconnect both generator leads. Connect a length of 14-gauge wire to the hot terminal on the starter motor or fusebox and flash the other end of the wire against the field terminal (the smaller terminal) on the generator, very briefly, but so you can see a small spark. Do not connect this wire to the generator. You may now reconnect the generator leads. A stock ammeter or voltmeter will require the wires switching around too. Windshield wiper and heater motors need no re-wiring. If you use an electrical fuel pump, make sure it is a negative ground pump.
However, if you are adding new wiring and gauges, why not add a modern alternator instead of the generator and just swap the battery cables around? | 2019-04-22T16:03:43 | https://www.hotrod.com/articles/0910rc-october-2009-wrenchin/ |
Hundreds of Palestinians hurled stones at Israeli policemen and Border Guard officers at the Atarot checkpoint northeast of Jerusalem on Friday, police said.
Police fired stun grenades to disperse the crowd. No injuries were reported.
policemen and Border Guard officers, after they were denied entry into Israel, police say.
The riots were prompted by a police decision to limit access to Friday's prayers at the al-Aqsa Mosque to males over 40 years of age and holders of Israeli IDs. The decision effectively bans Palestinians from entering the capital to attend prayers in the third week of the Holy Month of Ramadan.
An estimated 175,000 worshipers attended Friday prayers at the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
Large police forces were deployed around the site and inside the Old City to prevent clashes.
United Arab List-Ta'al MK Ahmad Tibi said Friday that Israel is breach basic human rights by preventing thousands of Palestinians from attending prayers at al-Aqsa.
"The international community has to act to lift the ban on Muslims from the territories to visit Jerusalem," he said.

The purpose of today's lesson is to get to know the Holy Spirit better, and to understand the gifts that He has given each of us.
7 A spiritual gift is given to each of us so we can help each other. 8 To one person the Spirit gives the ability to give wise advice[a]; to another the same Spirit gives a message of special knowledge.[b] 9 The same Spirit gives great faith to another, and to someone else the one Spirit gives the gift of healing. 10 He gives one person the power to perform miracles, and another the ability to prophesy. He gives someone else the ability to discern whether a message is from the Spirit of God or from another spirit. Still another person is given the ability to speak in unknown languages,[c] while another is given the ability to interpret what is being said. 11 It is the one and only Spirit who distributes all these gifts. He alone decides which gift each person should have.
"We must seek and ask The Holy Spirit for our spiritual gifts"
Q1 - There are 9 spiritual gifts mentioned in this chapter. Can you name a gift you know the Holy Spirit has given you?
Q2 - You are not excluded from the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Can you name a gift you desire to have from the Holy Spirit?
Q3 - According to the scripture, Love should be our highest goal. What are ways that you can show love to those in need? (A family member, a friend, a stranger).
Q4 - Although desiring spiritual gifts is something we must do, loving others should our top priority. How can the gifts of the Holy Spirit help you to love others better?
The Holy Spirit is Gods voice.
John 16:13 NKJV However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.
Q6 - Ignoring the Holy Spirit's voice means ignoring God's voice. How can we get better at listening to the Holy Spirit's voice right away, instead of ignoring his voice?
Declaration: "I will live with Holy Spirit as my guide! I will seek the Holy Spirit for the gifts He gives, and I will walk in them so that I can love others better!"
Practice spending time with the Holy Spirit. Spend an appointed time of prayer with God, and ask the Holy Spirit for the gifts that you desire. Then be alert for the opportunities the Holy Spirit leads you to use your gifts to love somebody in need. | 2019-04-25T21:13:21 | http://www.thewayworldoutreach.org/gettingtoknowtheholyspirit |
The humble yad, or Torah pointer, has been used to help readers keep track of their current place during extended sessions reading or reciting from the ancient text. It has an important place in the Jewish faith, helping readers of parchment Torah scrolls maintain ritualistic purity by avoiding contact with the sacred scroll and preserve the often long treasured vellum parchment and delicate ink from damage resulting from manual handling. Using this ceremonial pointer is considered a mark of reverence and respect for the Torah. Zion Judaica celebrates the role of the yad in our culture by offering a stunning collection of authentic ceremonial sterling silver yad in a variety of styles.
Our traditional yad models feature an array of intricate design details as well as the customary pointing finger design at the leading tip. We carry .925 sterling silver yad in both classic and contemporary styles, with embellishments such as laser engraving and stylish spiral designs. Choose from our assortment of attractive yad display stands made from durable metal to show off your beautiful formal yad.

Tanzania’s Mtabila Camp finally closed.
The residents of Tanzania’s Mtabila refugee camp are currently being returned to Burundi against their will. This population, most of whom fled to Tanzania in the 1990s, has been facing increasing pressure to return to Burundi for several years in something of a battle of the wills: on the one side has been the government of Tanzania which has been increasingly withdrawing services, banning planting of crops and offering incentives to leave the camp, and on the other has been a group of refugees who have dug their heels in and refused to move.
Yet it has been a battle of unequals with most of the power on one side. And finally those with power – and, they would argue, the law – on their side, have won through the invocation of refugee cessation. Cessation is one of the mechanisms in refugee law through which refugee status can be withdrawn in certain circumstances. In August 2012, after an individual status review that examined whether or not there were continuing valid claims to protection, cessation was applied to the majority of the group in Mtabila: the government of Tanzania, with the support of UNHCR, finally had the legal, if not moral, approval to return the refugees.
Consequently, on 31 October 2012 this group of Burundians finally ran out of options. With the assistance of the Tanzanian army, they started being loaded onto trucks and taken to ‘receiving centres’ in southern Burundi. Phone conversations the next day with those still in Mtabila suggested that there was confusion and a degree of coercion on the first day, with allegations of violence. These allegations were supported by a conversation that one of the authors had in person in Burundi with a returnee on the night of the night of the 31st, with a woman who had a swollen leg. She said she had been beaten by army elements as they forced her into the truck without any of her personal belongings. She only had the clothes she was standing up in.
By the second day, the refugees had apparently been cowed into submission – no doubt for the pragmatic reason that not resisting allowed them to collect the few belongings allowed within the UNHCR transportation allocation – and further violence was avoided. Since then, 16,500 have apparently left the camp and are now back in Burundi. Some have reportedly fled elsewhere in the region.
On the Burundi side, a real effort has been made to receive the returnees appropriately. According to eyewitness accounts, returnees in this forced process were subjected to the regular procedures that are applied to any voluntary returnee, and were quickly moved to communal centres. Staff in the reception centres worked hard to process people, staying up until one or two in the morning to do so. In addition, Burundi’s Minister of Home Affairs and the Minister of National Solidarity, Human Rights and Gender came and offered words of welcome and comfort to those who had returned. However, as more refugees return and increasing pressure is put on services that were already stretched, there is considerable concern that they may reach a breaking point and the long-term viability of the process may be undermined.
Of course, closing the camp allows UNHCR and the international community to draw a tidy line underneath the humanitarian operation and move elsewhere. But returning ‘home’ for these refugees is not as easy as it sounds. Some feel that it is dangerous for them because they are identified with the wrong political group, and Burundi of late has been accused of showing intolerance towards those who do not share the ruling party’s political views. While these claims should, in theory, have been considered in the cessation screening process and anyone with a genuine fear given permission to stay, the procedural problems with the process including a lack of clarity about its purpose and lack of assistance to refugees in making their cases (outlined in a previous IRRI briefing paper) have raised fears that not all in this category might have been identified.
For others, it means having little, if any, access to livelihoods in a country that is almost exclusively dependent on subsistence farming and yet is chronically short of land. As refugees in the camp are all too well aware, many of those who have returned to Burundi in the past few years still have no access to their land and have been forced to live in ‘Peace Villages’ which, as previous research has shown, are deeply unpopular. (See, for example, the report “Two people can’t wear the same pair of shoes”). It means relocating their family into a situation that may be economically precarious, with no guarantee that their children will be able to eat let alone go to school.
At the end of the day, therefore, no amount of legal or humanitarian language can mask the fact that these refugees did not want to repatriate and had expressed this vehemently for many years. Choice has been completely absent for this group of refugees and it remains to be seen how they will fair in Burundi, and whether or not they will be forced to flee again.
For the international community and the government of Tanzania, closing Mtabila camp and emptying it of refugees might make it look like the problem has been solved, but in reality it has only displaced or dispersed it to Burundi and elsewhere in the region. In many ways the assumptions surrounding the tidy categories of refugee humanitarian response continue to fail refugees. For as long as policy makers continue to see physically ‘returning home’ across the border as the lens for understanding the optimal end to exile – and, therefore, to push for it regardless of the cost – the problems that create displacement are not going to go away. | 2019-04-18T22:35:09 | https://www.christianrefugeecouncil.ca/glossary/tanzania-mtabila-refugee-camp/ |
Designed in 1955, the Jacobsen Series 7 Chair continues to be one of the most popular chairs around because of its functionality, durability, flexibility and overall contemporary design. Designed by the famed Danish designer, Arne Jacobsen, 5 million of these chairs have been installed in homes and businesses around the world. Arne Jacobsen was a fascinating designer whose work was not limited to furniture. Though he had several legendary furniture designs, such as the Egg Chair and Swan Chair, he will also be remembered for his talents as an architect. Such projects as St. Catherine's College at Oxford, the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, and the Danish National Bank exhibit his Danish Modern Style.
Jacobsen was known to have many faces. As a designer he was a perfectionist. In his non-professional life, he was known to have a fantastic sense of humor. He enjoyed making others laugh at his own expense. One famous story recalls Jacobsen betting friends that he would wear a melon as a hat. Using a multilayered wood structure with a beechwood finish, the seat and back are mounted on a tubular steel frame that has been chromed.
The underside and bentwood structure are manufactured in the same way the original Series 7 chair was built. Stacks 5 high.
Made In Italy. In stock in natural beechwood.
Dimensions: H 31" x D 20" x W 20" [ Back Width 19", Seat Width 17.5" ] SH 17.25"
Material: Stack chair with chrome tubular metal frame and a standard beechwood seat. Optionally stained or painted shell. Rubber covers on feet. | 2019-04-18T23:14:45 | https://www.bauhaus2yourhouse.com/collections/by-type-chairs/products/arne-jacobsen-series-7-chair |
