Never leave home without it. Other than a water bottle and a reliable car, a good road map is your best friend when traveling last minute by land. Choose a motorist's map because it has more detailed information about the roads and highways you might have to use.
If you have time, try to study the map and mark your current location and your destination. Look at the route you want to take and try to check alternate routes as well. You never know if there's a traffic jam or construction work somewhere.
While you're at it, try to check for local accommodations, gas stations, restaurants, hospitals or clinics along the way. That should give you sufficient information on the most basic things – where to get gas, where to eat, go to the bathroom, sleep or your tires checked. That way, you'll be able to plan your trip accordingly.
Bring only the things you will truly need on this trip, although if you'll be traveling by car, you probably can pretty much bring just about anything that will fit in your trunk or backseat. If you're traveling by public transportation, make sure to bring only the necessary stuff. That will help keep you mobile so you can move around fast.
Never go on a last minute travel by land without having your car checked. Don't leave anything to chance. So maybe the next gas station/repair shop is just 10 miles away. What if your car breaks down – are you willing to walk/hitch the rest of the way just to get your car checked? Make sure everything is in order before you even leave your driveway.
Stop and get your bearings.
Last minute trips can be forever trips if you get lost. If you've been traveling a while on the road, stop and try to see if you're going in the right direction or at least taking the right road. Use landmarks and street signs to determine your exact location. Got a GPRS? Use it.
Going public? Confirm your tickets.
If you'll be taking your last minute travel by land on a public transportation, make sure to get your tickets ahead of time. You could queue, of course but if you want to make sure you travel faster, have your tickets on hand.
Not every destination you arrive at might have an ATM or a bank. In case you need cash fast, at least you have something in your wallet, bag or pocket. If you're traveling by land at the last minute, make sure you have cash in change along with loose change in coins. So in case you find a hotel, inn or restaurant that will only take cash, you're ready.
Plus, you never know if you'll have to make a call from a telephone booth. After all, there are still areas where mobile phones won't work.
every elephant let you to ride over them .>?
ang saya! dream ko rin makasakay ng elephant!
Buti na lang may GPS ngayon, madali na lang mag-travel kahit saan dahil dito. | 2019-04-26T03:52:17Z | https://www.bitlanders.com/blogs/going-on-a-road-trip/2861601 |

While constructing a home it is important that certain aspects be kept in one’s mind. It is not merely the major construction of a specific house that matters, it is also the external aspects associated with it that makes sure that the house that is merely a structure, becomes a home worth living a life. To make this structure beautiful, one needs a properly guided instruction that is to be followed, and also the materials that are used needs to be of the highest quality so that there is no issue related to its internal construction.
Also, it is very important that the external disasters, that might strike the house should be kept at a safe distance so that it does not become a matter of great concern for the owners. In both these cases, be it protecting the house from internal injuries, or external disasters, or even making sure that there is a chance to extend the space of the inner domain, need for professionals is a must.
It so happens most of the times that contrary to the space available the things that are within the house is way more. In this way, the house remains cluttered and the show of the house is disrupted.

Also there happens to be some spaces outside the closed domain of the house. With professional help that can be converted into a proper space. What is the most important factor in all these cases is that the value of the house improves to a great extent.
While improving the value of the house is important, it is also important to make sure that there is no great disaster lurking in from outside. In case of any flood one should be prepared to mitigate its effects to the maximum.

SpareFoot Moving Guides » Moving to Washington, D.C. » 10 Best Professional Organizers in Washington, D.C.
Moving is stressful. Whether you are moving across town or across the country, there are so many factors to think about that you could feel overwhelmed in no time. There is no stress-free way to move, and in Washington, D.C., moving takes on a whole new meaning as you tackle the transient nature of military personnel and government workers who move in and out of office each election season.
Hiring a professional organizer (yes, that is a thing) can be your saving grace when you move to the DC-metro area. Hire someone who has the time to unpack and set up your belongings while you start a new job, get the kids settled into new schools, and figure out the confusing quadrant set up of the city that can cause you to be in the northwest side of the city when you meant to be on the southeast side of town.
Washington, D.C. has its fair share of professional organizers, but it can be hard to figure out where to start. Search the Washington, D.C. chapter of the National Association of Professional Organizers, or check out our handy list below, pulled from personal recommendations and online reviews. No matter your budget, we are sure you will find the help you need.
Cris Sgrott-Wheedleton started Organizing Maniacs after she was laid off from her project management job. Her business grew as more friends referred her services, but she quickly realized she needed to educate herself on why people hoard, resist change, and need to get organized in the first place. Her team has grown, but that compassion for clients who have a hard time stepping out of their comfort zones is still there, whether you just need your home or office reorganized, or you want to de-clutter before your next move.
Ellen Gilbert loves to organize. She doesn’t just walk into a project, clean up and leave. Gilbert likes to get to know her clients with in-home or office consultations, one-on-one organizing services and follow-up communication so you can actually keep that beautiful new space organized just the way she left it. She wants to give her clients the tools to live a more stress-free life. Follow her blog for even more organizing tips you can try at home.
After living a clutter-filled life, both spiritually, mentally and physical, Liz Mason knew she needed a change. She works with women who need to simplify their lives, and a lot of the time that means cleaning out their home or office of unnecessary items. Mason and her team can help you clear the clutter, sort your belongings, containerize items and create a system for all of that paperwork you have piling up, which will simplify your life whether you are moving or not.
Cheryl Larson believes that “being organized is a way of life, not an acquired skill.” She and her team don’t just want to swoop in to take care of the clutter; they want to help you make lasting changes. If you are moving (note: they specialize in senior moving), the team can help you figure out what to sell, what to bring, what pieces will fit in your new house, get rid of the clutter, schedule home repairs and supervise packing and unpacking at your new place.
Sometimes you don’t just need someone to de-clutter your stuff, you need a personal assistant to do all of the random things you just can’t squeeze in before or after a move. Ronda Davis is a jack-of-all-trades when it comes to organization, whether you need help unpacking, or you need to sell some of your unwanted stuff on eBay. If you want to throw a neighborhood block party before you move, she can help with that too.
As a busy professional, Emily Hemphill knows how precious your time is and how demanding life can be. She works with her clients to create tailored solutions that get your organized and keep you that way so you are efficient at home and at work. She wants to make your home and office easy to maintain long after she is gone. Hemphill is a Konmari convert and has been helping clients Konmari their way into the home they crave.
Being a military wife and living in small government housing with a growing family made Michele Fortenberry sit up and realize she had to purge and get organized. She’s worked with families over the past 20 years as a childcare worker, a coordinator at a community college, and now as a professional organizer. She does not believe in judging people, as she was not always an organized person. She’s been disorganized, organized and everything in between, which allows her to have compassion and perseverance no matter where you are in your moving and organizing process.
Coumba Peterson got her feet wet in the professional organizing world at a young age. As a child she loved to organize and rearrange her room. While her parents were working in South Africa, the American Embassy hired her to stage and organizing the homes of newly arrived families. Her upbeat, down-to-earth attitude makes it easy for her to work with people, no matter their needs, whether you need help packing up, unpacking or just don’t know how to set up a new space.

A lot of conference speakers will tell you that giving a presentation is a wonderful experience, not only to share knowledge but also to learn a lot for your self. I am not a conference speaker but I try to follow the advice of people from whom I think that they know what they are talking about. So I thought I share some thoughts and experiences from my amateur level of view in the hope it is of interest and a motivation for others.
It’s actually pretty easy: Search some topic you like and explain it to others. You can do it in your company, in your local user group, do some video tutorials and put it on youtube or just explain something to your friends.
When I became active with SwedenCpp, the C++ user group of Stockholm/Sweden, one of my motivations was also to have a change to give talks.
If you ever visit Stockholm and would like to present some C++ related topic to the local C++ user group, just contact me.
I know I need to practice. In Austria I did not do too many talks in English. Today an additional challenge is to master living with 2 second languages, Swedish and English. This is sometimes very confusing.
So having the chance of doing a talk and getting some experience is extreme important to me.
An other motivation for me is, preparing a presentation of some topic I think to know shows me how much more there is to know about this topic. Collection and preparing information in a structured way to a topic is something, if I have time enough, what I really enjoy. Everytime I do this I am so astonished what I lean through doing it.
I am unsure if this is from Albert Einstein, Richard Feynman or some other person, but I think this is not important. Important to me is the truth in this sentence.
A local user group is a great place to gain some practice.
Local user groups are usually a friendly environment and events are free to attend. In opposite to commercial events where people pay for attending, not everything has to be that professional and it is OK to act on amateur level.
There is no need to fear that you are not professional enough. No one will throw rotten tomatoes on you if you lose the context or need to go back to repeat something. In my experience, user groups are very helpful environments and people will be happy to help.
User groups usually have all types of members, professionals but also beginners. There need to be advanced topics but also beginner friendly topics. Talk with the organizer, tell them your topic and the difficulty level. It is up to the organizer to find the right mix for an event.
All topics, also beginner topics, are great. So do not fear what you can present might not be advanced or interesting enough.
I guess every one is nervous before speaking in front of an audience. I am definitely, so you are not alone. But it might be possible to get used to be nervous and maybe lose the fear.
The way to this is: Give talks.
And again, the local user group might be the perfect environment to train such a situation. Usually they are friendly and helpful environments and so there is no reason to fear the fear, enjoy it.
If there is a chance for doing video, make one.
It does not need to be that perfect!
Luckily SwedenCpp has group members that do the creation of video, what is an extreme lucky situation for a local user group.
It enables to share content and information also to outside the group and also allows speaker to do some analysis of the given talk. I do not now how it is for others, some people say they never watch their talks. I find it very helpful to see myself talking. I hope, and I think it will, help me to improve my skills and that the next time I do a presentation I will be a little bit better.
If you have no video camera just ask if someone in the group has one. The chance that this is the case is pretty high. For the purpose of feedback the quality does not need to be the best.
If there is no chance for a video, do not take this as an excuse. You still have to chance to get feedback from the people listening to you. This can also be very valuable.
You can also use your mobile phone do do an audio recording. This works great. There are plenty of free audio recording apps, just try one. Start it, put the phone in front of you and record you talking.
Additionally you can do a screen recording from your desktop while doing the presentation. There are many screen recording software tools available, just search for one. Together with the audio this is nearly as good as a video.
This should be done even if you do video.
Just do not forget to create some synchronization point that you can sync the desktop recording with the audio.
For me it is strange to hear my voice and to see me talking. From a lot of other speakers in our user group I know they feel the same about their talks. It seems the reaction 'OMG, how horrible' is natural for some persons when they see them self on video, even if they give excellent talks.
You do not need to upload a video to the internet if you do not like it, and you local user group will also not do it if you do not confirm.
It is of course some work to prepare a presentation.
Maybe more for some than for others. Some people claim that they do their presentations the day, or even the night, before the talk. I can not do this.
For me, preparing a talk, is usually quite some work, but I enjoy is also very much. Collecting information, bringing it into some order from which I think it makes sense, review and improve. I did this several times for several topics during the last years, an every time I am surprised how much I learn about topics I thought I have some solid knowledge.
I am not the fastest in preparing talks. What about you?
As you can see, beside giving talks there are also other roles, like helping with video/recording, user groups can need help with. The organization on an event, finding event hosts, pizza sponsors, ….
If you think you can provide some help and would like to do something, just talk with the organizers of a group, they will for sure be very thankful.

This page tests the new input values of HTML5.
See also the mobile table.
Last updated on 2 March 2015.
These six definitions don’t go for all input types or browsers. In the table below I indicate for each type which of the six are relevant.
The Chromia offer a dropdown under an arrow, and match the predefined values from start; i.e. entering a 'p' only shows option 'ppk' since that starts with a p.
IE does the same, except that the dropdown automatically opens when you focus on the field.
Firefox doesn’t show anything initially, but substring-matches whatever you fill in; i.e. entering a 'p' shows both options since both contain a p.
The Chromia support all except datetime.
On Mac, the Chromia always show US-formatted dates and times. As far as I know there’s no way to change that. Windows listens to the user preferences and switches time and date formats accordingly.
Using the input itself is annoying, but the Chromia also offer some good popup date pickers for everything but time.
The most annoying one is time, which requires an am/pm input. Entering 14:33 is not possible. However, the server receives a 24hrs-formatted time anyway.
With dates the server received yyyy-mm-dd; with weeks yyyy-Www (where the W is an actual 'W').
IE10 and 11 remove the value onblur if it’s not a number. This is a useful bit of interface other browsers should copy.
Mac browsers except Firefox give the field rounded corners, but that’s the full extent of the support for this type. To be fair, I don’t know what else they’re supposed to be doing.
I don’t know how to define support because I don’t know what this type is supposed to do.
The browser automatically focuses on this field when the page is loading.
Allows users to upload multiple files at once.
The value must conform to the regexp pattern, or submission is halted.
The error message contains the element’s title, if any.
The placeholder text is shown as long as the field is unfocused and the user has not entered another value.
User cannot enter a value in the form field.
Form submission is halted if a required field does not have a value.
Safari doesn’t send a wrong value to the server, but doesn’t alert the user that something is wrong, either. Pressing on the arrows brings you back to the expected 3-6-9-12 range.
IE tells the user to enter a valid value but doesn’t tell the user what a valid value looks like.
Safari removes the value and sends the rest to the server. This is BAD since the user has no clue that his submission has gone wrong.
Firefox and the Chrome-based browsers show an error message with the closest legal values.
I removed them, so they’re not tested for newer methods and properties that they don’t support anyway. However, I copy all information from older versions of the Tables.
If IE8 supports a method or property I never tested before I have to guess if IE7 and lower also support it. In general I assume they support the Microsoft-invented properties, but for others I will occasionally have to add a "Don’t know" entry. If IE8 does not support something I never tested before, I assume IE7 and lower also don’t support it.
On Microsoft Remote Desktop, as indicated at Remote IE. This is not Spartan, but an IE that runs EdgeHTML, the new rendering engine.
All downloaded from modern.ie. I use VirtualBox, and downloded the Windows 7 systems for all browsers but IE11, which runs on Windows 8.1.
The non-IE Windows browsers all run on the IE9/Win7 virtualization.

While the United States is in a time of fiscal restraint, President Barack Obama pledged on Tuesday that the restraint won’t include cutting benefits of America’s veterans.
Addressing The American Legion’s 93rd Annual National Convention in Minneapolis, Obama said veterans wouldn’t bear the brunt of federal cutbacks.
“As a nation, we’re facing tough choices as we put our fiscal house in order,” the president said, getting a standing ovation from the crowd of thousands in the process. “But I want to be absolutely clear: We cannot, we must not, and we will not balance the budget on the backs of our veterans. And as commander-in-chief, I won’t allow it.
While pledging to protect veterans benefits, the president also offered a plan to help revive the economy: the hiring of veterans.
“We’re going to offer more help with career development and job searches,” he said. “I’ve directed DoD and the VA to create a reverse boot camp to help our newest veterans prepare for civilian jobs and translate their exceptional military skills into industry-accepted licenses and credentials. And today I’m calling on every state to pass legislation that makes it easier for our veterans to get the credentials and the jobs for which they are so clearly qualified. This needs to happen, and it needs to happen now.
During his 30-minute address, Obama touched on the economy, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the needed care of U.S. servicemembers when they return home – specifically those dealing with hidden wounds such as post-traumatic stress and mental illness.
“We’re working aggressively to address another signature wound of this war, which has led too many fine troops and veterans to take their own lives – post-traumatic stress disorder,” he said. “We’re continuing to make major investments: improving outreach and suicide prevention, hiring and training more mental health counselors and treating more veterans than ever before.
Obama told Legionnaires that U.S. servicemembers serving in Iraq will be home by the start of 2012, while the drawdown in Afghanistan will continue.
Those men and women who have served in both campaigns are deserving of a grateful nation’s praise, the president said.
“Young captains, sergeants and lieutenants have assumed responsibilities once reserved for more senior commanders, reminding us that in an era when so many other institutions have shirked their obligations, the men and women of the United States military welcome responsibility,” Obama said. “In a decade of war, they have borne an extraordinary burden, with more than two million of our servicemembers deploying to the warzones. Hundreds of thousands have deployed again and again, year after year. Never before has our nation asked so much of our all-volunteer force – that 1 percent of Americans who wears the uniform.
Obama said that those men and women who come home injured and file a claim with VA shouldn’t have to wait for that claim to be adjudicated, and that the current backlog of VA claims remains a priority for his administration. | 2019-04-25T03:56:07Z | https://americanlegion142.org/2011/08/30/president-obama-speaks-to-american-legion/ |

Ametrine, also known as Trystine or Bolivianite, is a variety of Quartz (SiO2) with a Mohs hardness of 7. Ametrine crystals are made of alternating sectors of purple Amethyst (caused by the presence of iron with an oxidation number of 4, Fe(+4), built into its crystal framework as a replacement for Si and subsequent irradiation from radioactive elements) and yellow to orange Citrine (caused either by inclusions of iron compounds or by iron ions, Fe3+, built into the crystal lattice).
Although the most well known source for Ametrine is the Anahi Mine (a 6250 acre site near the town of Puerto Suárez in the eastern tropics of Bolivia, very near the border of Brazil), commercial-grade deposits have also been found in India and Brazil. | 2019-04-24T08:23:51Z | http://geoclassics.com/product-category/rocks-minerals/ametrine/ |

Yale School of medicine researchers report that most heart attack patients transferred between hospitals for the emergency artery-opening procedure called angioplasty are not transported as quickly as they should be. This is the first national study of "door-in door-out" time for transfer patients.
Fewer than 10 percent of heart attack patients transferred from their initial hospital to one offering the life-saving procedure are transferred within the recommended 30 minutes, according to the researchers, who published their findings in the November 28 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine.
For ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients, quick response is critical because this type of heart attack is caused by a complete blockage of blood supply to the heart. Angioplasty should be performed as quickly as possible, but many smaller hospitals do not have the staff or facilities to perform the procedure around the clock. Experts agree that the hospitals should send those patients on to a hospital that offers the procedure. The guidelines recommend that the time from arrival at the first hospital until the patient leaves should be no more than 30 minutes.
"This represents a large and avoidable increase in risk of death for these patients," said lead author Jeph Herrin, assistant adjunct professor of cardiology at Yale School of Medicine. "Numerous studies have shown that even a few minutes delay in receiving angioplasty increases the risk of death for STEMI patients. Among this group are thousands of patients that are delayed more than an hour from what is recommended."
Herrin and co-authors analyzed nationwide data collected by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services on all heart attack patients with STEMI who were transferred explicitly for angioplasty during 2009. This included patients who were not covered by Medicare, though patients were not included if the hospital did not transfer at least five patients.
In 2009, nearly 14,000 heart attack patients were transferred from smaller hospitals to hospitals that offer angioplasty, but fewer than 10 percent of them were sent onto the second hospital within the recommended time. Nearly one third of the heart attack patients were sent more than 90 minutes after arriving at the emergency room.
"We have made such great strides in reducing the time to treatment for those patients who are admitted to hospitals with angioplasty facilities; our next big challenge is to be sure that we reduce delays for patients who are transferred," said senior author Harlan Krumholz, M.D., the Harold H. Hines Jr. Professor of Medicine (Cardiology) at Yale School of Medicine. | 2019-04-25T10:10:39Z | https://www.medindia.net/news/critical-window-for-heart-attack-transfer-patients-is-missed-by-most-hospitals-says-study-94076-1.htm |
I completed this exercise, but I just want to point out one thing and request some explanations.
After I turn off my swap file (/dev/dm-1) and I then setup and turn on the encrypted one ( /dev/mapper/swapcrypt), the swap file appears on /dev/dm-2, not /dev/dm-1, and so it's the reference to /dev/dm-2 that goes in etc/fstab (the question seems to assume that if your swap was /dev/sda11 that it will re-appear on there and so you keep that reference).
Why is that, is it just a Red Hat thing?
I also don't understand what purpose the dev/urandom reference serves in a crypttab line. It was not shown in in examples within the module. From searching I think it assists with encryption/decryption.
I could not complete this exercise in the pre-built Ubuntu VM, even with --cipher aes as a luksFormat option.
Also, as part of the exercise clean up: It's easier to just remove the added lines in /etc/fstab and /etc/crypttab than label the original swap when formatting it again. | 2019-04-23T08:56:01Z | https://forum.linuxfoundation.org/discussion/comment/21372/ |

That makes it a most precious “app” today, in a world where everything is changing and so much is unknown. And yet, we don’t seem to value questioning as much as we should.
Here are some suggestions (based on input from question-friendly teachers, schools, programs, and organizations) on how to encourage more questioning in the classroom and hopefully, beyond it.
Teachers, too, are embracing mobile personal technologies in order to improve their teaching methods, including offering online audio or video recordings of lectures, communicating with students and sharing course materials online.
One concern with technology in the classroom (cited by half of the students) is the fact that technology can sometimes be distracting. However, two thirds of them feel that technology helps them overcome the barriers imposed by large class sizes and still maintain personal contact with professors and teaching assistants.
Administrators in universities used to be people who would support academics in their role. Now it feels increasingly as if the administrative machine is, not only creating more work for themselves (under the guise of quality monitoring) but also more work for people who entered academia.
I am afraid that this paper trail, which is based on the mentality of "evaluate everything that moves," does not prove anything. It is a simulacrum of quality measuring rather than a real encouragement of a culture of quality, originality and excellence.
Where is all this going? Research, imagination, reflection and academic freedom are giving way to a generation that tries to measure and evaluate what it cannot understand.
Suddenly, as you may have noticed, millennials are everywhere. Not that this group of people born after 1980 and before 2000 — a giant cohort now estimated to number at least 80 million Americans, more than the baby boom generation — was ever invisible.
What’s changed is their status. Coddled and helicoptered, catered to by 24-hour TV cable networks, fussed over by marketers and college recruiters, dissected by psychologists, demographers and trend-spotters, the millennial generation has come fully into its own.
Why this microscopic attention paid to a generation whose oldest members are only now entering the prime of their adult lives? One answer is that millennials, the first people to come of age in the 21st century, with its dizzying rate of technological change, have been forced to invent new ways of navigating it.
Out of all the students who enroll in a MOOC, only about 5 percent complete the course and receive a certificate of accomplishment. This statistic is often cited as evidence that MOOCs are fatally flawed and offer little educational value to most students.
Yet more than 80 percent of students who fill out a post-course survey say they met their primary objective. How do we reconcile these two facts?
Focusing on the tiny fraction of students who complete a MOOC is misguided. The more important number is the 60 percent engagement rate. Students may not finish a MOOC with a certificate of accomplishment, but the courses nonetheless meet the educational goals of millions.

The Kinderwerkstatt (Kinder Workshop) was founded in 1997 by a group of parents who wanted to encourage and foster bi-literacy in their children by involving them in a program entirely in the German language. We provide a full German immersion program to children at various competency levels. We instruct children ranging in age from 4 to 17 years in ability-based groups.
The school year begins after Labor Day and ends before Memorial Day. Classes are offered at two different locations: Tuesdays at Alcott Elementary School in Clairemont from 4:30-6:00 PM, and on Fridays at the same time at the Innovations Academy in Scripps Ranch.
Parental membership in the House of Germany is mandatory for insurance reasons.
This year we are again offering our adult German language class to House of Germany members. Class is held on Fridays at 4:30 - 6:00 PM at the Innovations Academy in Scripps Ranch. If you are not already a member of the House of Germany see our Membership page for information on joining.
We are now open for enrollment for the new school year of 2018/19.
The tuition for childrens' classes is $480/year (30 sessions). Discounts are offered for families sending 2 or more children to the classes. Discounts of 25% are provided to parents who serve as volunteer hosts at the House of Germany on weekends. A limited number of full scholarships are also available for families with qualifying income.
We are planning to continue and expand the adult class on Fridays. The classes will be held at the Innovations Academy in Scripps Ranch. The adult tuition fee for the entire school year remains $650. If you attend just one semester or plan to pay in two increments, the tuition per semester will be $350.
For planning the new school year (renting class rooms, hiring teachers, buying materials etc.) an early sign-up is crucial to have a less stressful start in September after Labor Day. Students per class should not exceed more than 10. We also reserve the right to cancel classes due to insufficient enrollment.
It would be great to expand our German Language Program. Please spread the word about the Kinderwerkstatt. If you need some brochures about the Kinderwerkstatt as handouts to interested families, please let us know.
If you are interested in teaching a class or being on our substitute teacher list, please send us an email message. We would like to hear from you!
For more information please contact us via e-mail at [email protected] or see the Contact Directory on this website. | 2019-04-23T02:35:35Z | http://www.houseofgermany.com/kinder-workshop |
Killyclogher woman Olive Breslin was presented with the ‘Inspirational Woman’ award at the Families First event over the weekend.
INSPIRATIONAL Killyclogher woman Olive Breslin proved her unwavering dedication and commitment to the National Autistic Society (NAS) when she ran the charity from her hospital bed following a foot injury.
Last May the NAS Western Branch chairperson ruptured her Achilles tendon and had to undergo surgery which left her bed bound in hospital for two weeks.
The injury occurred at a very inconvenient time as it was fast approaching the summer holidays when trips were to be scheduled and organised.
But there was no way this injury was going to derail the NAS plans!
“I had my phone and laptop with me in Altnagelvin Hospital, and I pretty much ran NAS from there. I signed cheques and letters from my bed, ” laughed Olive.
NAS Omagh raises awareness of autism, and provides services including family support groups, social and therapeutic activities for parents and carers.
Having worked for the local branch for the last ten years, Olive is always ready to go that extra mile for those around her, and her support has been described as “second to none”.
“You only have to speak to anyone involved with Olive’s group – adults or children – to discover the high regard in which we hold her,” said Sheila Allen, a member of NAS Omagh.
A true inspiration to those around her, the Killyclogher woman attended the glamorous Families First Awards ceremony last Saturday where she picked up the ‘Inspirational Woman’ award for her commitment to the charity. | 2019-04-23T01:58:15Z | https://ulsterherald.com/2019/03/17/olive-recognised-for-her-work-with-autism-charity/ |

Mamed Mamedov is regarded among the seven distinguished artists of the 1960s, whose names are closely associated with one of the brightest periods in the history of Turkmen painting. Mamed Mamedov, Durdy Bairamov, Shajan Akmuhammedov, Stanislav Babikov, Gulnazar Bekmuradov, Chary Amangeldyev and Juma Jumadurdy, whose families were on friendly terms, were spiritually close and offered each other their helpful advice. The permanent collection of the Museum of Fine Arts boasts the portrait of these artists, The Seven by Kakajan Oraznepesov.
When choosing his profession, Mamed, who was brought up in the Tejen Children's Home, entered Turkmen State Art School. It was a fateful decision, painting fascinated him deeply. On leaving the school, he studied at I. E. Repin Institute of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture in the city of Leningrad.
The portrait of composer Nury Halmamedov is highly symbolic in his oeuvre. This painting reveals the commonality between the master artist and the great composer. There is a large array of works by Turkmen painters depicting Nury Halmamedov; however one look at Mamed Mamedov's painting is enough to remember it forever. In the same way, to hear a piece of music by Nury Halmamedov once means to become a true lover of his works.
Mamed Mamedov had much in common with the outstanding composer. They were the best friends, the boys, who lived in a children's home in the stern post-war period, and both possessed natural talent and became famous while alive. They died young at the peak of their abilities, not having the chance to create more. But they truly left their mark in the national culture.
Mamed Mamedov depicted the composer with his cheek touching a mulberry � a powerful and vigorous tree, reflecting the maestro's personality. The artist managed to accurately capture Nury Halmamedov's charisma and the strength of his musical talent with red, yellow and brown, dominating the painting.
It was typical of the many-faceted artist to create paintings differently from others. For instance, still-life paintings (celebrating the bounties of fertile Turkmen land) by Turkmen painters are a riot of colour, while his still-life painting shows a black dish exquisitely contrasted with white grapes and ruby pomegranates. He was able to see the beauty in everything and was incredibly skillful at painting.
When a student at the Repin Institute, Mamed Mamedov created the easel painting Opening of the Karakum Canal as his graduation work. He was very much aware that water was held sacred in his native country. Therefore, in his painting, dwellers from all near-by villages hurry to witness the man-made miracle that brings precious water.
It seems that the painting The Prayer for Water, which was produced four years after the painting Opening of the Turkmen Canal should be placed first chronologically. In this context, it could be possible to evaluate the importance of the Karakum Canal for the Turkmen nation. The Prayer for Water shows the drought that threatens lives of the people in desert areas. Women and children severely suffering from thirst desperately pray for rain. It all happened in the past, but it is different now.
Going through the archive documents, the artist's spouse Galina Mamedova found a small piece of the drawing that shows the knee of a woman, bending down and holding her hands up. Mamed Mamedov created the pencil drawing approximately in 1954. Consequently, the idea of creating the painting The Prayer for Water came to the artist in his student years.
The scientific and technological advances totally amazed elderly people, and the artist loved to reflect the theme. A graphic painting by Mamed Mamedov features an old man, who has never flown by airplane before. Clutching tightly his dutar to his chest, he feels tense and yet curious: the huge iron machine flies like a bird. A passenger next to him reads a book and is perfectly at ease.
The painting The Talk about Universe has a touch of fantasy: the large disk-shaped moon, silver shades, slightly elongated figures, and clothes somewhat resembling the attire of ancient Greek philosophers. Possibly, these serve to highlight the inner emotions of old men, who have just come to know about other worlds and feel slightly confused by the new information.
Social realism, which was the main genre of painting at that time, did not prevent Mamed Mamedov from making the most of his talent. He devoted his fine easel paintings to working people, and expanded his collection by painting portraits of outstanding contemporaries and ordinary people alike.
Produced in vivid and cheerful colors, the painting Irrigators dates back to 1985. It conveys much air and light, and the atmosphere of collective labor. And at the same time, the painting strikingly reveals the peasants' faces not clearly depicted. This is the artist's last and unfinished work. Working on it, he died untimely aged 47 in his studio at the hands of his colleagues Galina Saurova and Alexander Saurov.
To mark the 80th anniversary of Mamed Mamedov's birth, the Museum of Fine Arts features a large exhibition of his works in several halls. The organizers entitled it From Idea to Realization, because aside from paintings and graphic works, the exhibition displays sketches with ideas that were never to come true. The section of pencil sketches is a big draw for the Academy's students, who highly appreciate the opportunity to trace how the great master created his painting. Visitors to the exhibition found real enjoyment in exploring Mamed Mamedov's creative legacy � patriotic, striking and talented. | 2019-04-23T08:28:24Z | https://turkmenistannewsgazette.com/from-idea-to-realization-dedication-to-mamed-mamedov/ |

Considering Chiropractic Care? Here’s What You Need To Know!
You might think of going to a chiropractor at the first sign of neck or back pain. Clearly, you will want to find relief quickly. But, you should know some basics before you get started. Read on to learn more.
Many doctors are now working right along with colleagues performing alternative therapy. Therefore, look at your health insurance to determine whether you can participate in things like medical massage, chiropractic care and acupuncture. These services can help boost your physician’s care.
Properly get up from your bed. Before raising, slowly stretch and then raise up. Use your arms to support yourself as you move your feet to the floor. Getting out of bed in this manner cuts down your odds of a spinal injury happening.
See if your chiropractor will give you discounts for visiting a lot. A lot of the time you have to go to the chiropractor multiple times. Sometimes, this may mean two to three weekly visits for multiple months. This can get costly. Some chiropractors offer discounts when you are seeking to make multiple appointments for treatment.
If you want to see a chiropractor, your primary care physician may be able to suggest a good provider. Though you might not need a formal referral, you might get the name of a quality practitioner.
If you decide to visit a chiropractor for your back issues, choose one wisely. Just as with all professions, there are good chiropractors and bad chiropractors. The truth is that some chiropractors end up causing additional damage. Therefore, it is important to carefully choose a chiropractor.
Check a chiropractor’s references before you schedule anything. The majority of chiropractors care about your personal health, but a select few do try and push treatments you don’t really need. Whenever possible, look for reviews and get referrals from medical doctors.
Never keep a wallet in the back pocket of your pants. Many men carry their wallets in a hip pocket with no idea that this habit will cause back pain. It can cause pressure to the lower back, colon, and other organs. For this reason, it is better to carry your wallet in a front pocket or a jacket pocket.
When carrying a wallet, your back pocket is not where you want to put it. Believe it or not, doing that can cause some abnormal lower back strain. It can cause excess pressure on your back and internal organs. So, put the wallet in a front pocket instead.
Be sure to inquire about the specific types of ailments your potential chiropractor specializes in. Chiropractic professionals who work on conditions beyond back pain and musculoskeletal problems may be exceeding their expertise. It is the chiropractors who stick with their specialty who are the best in their field.
Now that you’ve read this, you should know about chiropractic care. There are many benefits associated with chiropractic care. You should also be aware of when you need to use it. Make sure that you schedule appointments when you need to. No one should have to live in constant pain.
If You’re Going To The Chiropractor, Read This First! | 2019-04-20T00:15:38Z | http://cogniflexreview.com/considering-chiropractic-care-heres-what-you-need-to-know.html |
(Extract from my essay on Lou Reed's 1973 record, Berlin, 'The Hamlet of electricity' that I published some years ago - read it here).
So beautiful the classic rendition, with the sensitive piano accompaniment provided by John Cale, especially the way it works with/against the jarring guitar when it comes in. Compare it with this perhaps more standard version from the same year, recorded in New York.
I'm still looking for my favourite, though where Lou Reed introduces it with words to the effect that this is his Marlene Dietrich number. That said, the vocal delivery on the album version is so touching, the way it holds back.
In the essay I spent time concentrating on the track 'Oh Jim' which I still think is one of the most intelligent, subtle songs I have ever heard in terms of the way it unsettles perspective. | 2019-04-23T10:22:00Z | https://www.madeleinebyrne.com/in-praise-of/2016/3/31/berlin |
I’d like to share the good news with you that we have four winning essayists in the 3rd Lopez Values Stars Contest. The eight judges admitted that it wasn’t easy and most were teary-eyed after reading all 49 entries. The judges rated according to substance and originality (40%), writing style (15%), prognosis (10%) and clearly identifies Nationalism (35%). As such, the selection was narrowed down to 23 then eleven and finally, four.
The winners were honored by our chief mentor and chairman emeritus Oscar M. Lopez (OML) last Wednesday, June 20 in a lunch together with their supervisor and HR head.
As you may recall, OML started the Lopez Credo and Values program two years ago because he wanted to make known the values and wisdom that was passed on by his father, the founder of the Lopez Group, Eugenio H. Lopez, Sr. The Lopez Group has now grown to around 14,000 individuals and we have to lean on technology such as social media to allow each of us to interact not only with OML and other senior executives but also with each other in the Group.
I’d like to impart to you OML’s thoughts on Nationalism as a Value which he expressed during the awarding ceremony yesterday: When we were discussing the Lopez Values in senior management, someone raised the relevance of nationalism and the difficulty of applying it in a world where commerce and industry are ruled by the spirit and rules of globalization. We tossed the issue back and forth and came to the conclusion that more than ever, nationalism as a corporate value is as valid today for the Lopez Group as it had been during my father’s time.
For starters, we need a strong sense of national pride as a people for us to get anywhere in a highly competitive world. The great nations of the world today from America to China have very strong feelings of nationalism. Globalization may have broken down barriers to international trade but the world today is as much a collection of nations as it had ever been.
Presenting the best of our country to the world is one of the more important values that should drive a conglomerate like ours. I am proud to report that in this regard, we have not fallen short.
Early this year, a group of geologists from Energy Development Corporation (EDC) left for Chile to start exploration work in a geothermal concession area awarded by the Chilean government to this Lopez Group company. For many of these geologists, this was their first time to travel abroad. But this was not the only reason they were excited.
They were also proud to represent the best of our country in a foreign land. Indeed, just the other week, they sent back a photo of their site office where they installed a Philippine flag borrowed from the Philippine Embassy in Santiago, the Chilean capital. Here is a group of Filipinos as far away from their homeland as they could be in the Chilean mountains high enough for the air to be thin, and they are proudly telling the world they are Filipinos and they are ready to share what they know in the field of geothermal energy.
What these EDC geologists are doing in Chile is a good example of the Lopez value of Nationalism, which you might already be familiar with as an employee of a Lopez Group company. It is a value that my father, Eugenio Lopez, Sr., practiced with a passion in all of his businesses. We maintain this value today because it remains relevant and important for our country. It defines us as a Filipino business group wherever our business may take us in the world.
Nationalism is one of the most cherished values of the Lopez Group. Today, the expression of this value may seem different from the way my father Don Eugenio Lopez expressed his nationalism. But it really is because at the root of my father’s nationalism is a strong belief in the capability of the Filipino… that we can be competitive with the best in the world.

Family Medicine and Primary Care Research Office in the Department of Family Medicine at the University of Calgary in Alberta.
Several hundred metres from the summit of a remote peak in the Northern Rockies 2 climbers feverishly moved toward their goal. The younger climber, who was leading the charge, heard his friend yell. He shot a quick look over his shoulder in time to see the older climber hitting a shallow outcrop below, then braced himself for a vigorous pull on the rope around his waist. The “okay” signal did not come and panic froze the young climber’s body. Looking down again, he could see the other climber lying twisted on the outcrop and unresponsive. After a few minutes passed, the man on the outcrop returned to a foggy consciousness, before being jolted into full sensation by a piercing pain in his right leg. The young climber’s panic eased a little; however, he was not sure of the severity of his companion’s injury. After a few minutes’ discussion, the 2 climbers agreed to use their satellite phone to contact Parks Canada for help.
For many, these climbers’ predicament epitomizes the wilderness medicine (WM) case. However, the scope and complexity of wilderness medicine contexts are greater than this scenario suggests. Wilderness medicine encounters occur in settings where definitive treatment is not possible and where challenges of time and distance are compounded by inadequate resources, severe weather, or natural hazards. Health care professionals’ responses must adapt to reflect the circumstances and can range from modified standard practice to inspired improvisation. Wilderness medical care is delivered daily throughout Canada, and in recent years groups have been working to recognize and formalize the principles and practices unique to its demanding environments. Their efforts are leading to research and care guidelines1–4 that improve upon ad hoc solutions.
Canadian primary care physicians who incorporate emergency medicine, global health and humanitarian medicine, or working with underserviced populations (such as First Nations people or remote communities) into their practices will find that the growing WM field offers valuable and readily transferable knowledge and skills. In turn, the generalist training of family medicine makes such practitioners well suited to tackling the challenges that arise in WM. Wilderness medicine training can allow primary care physicians to feel confident working in diverse circumstances, with or without abundant resources at hand.
The field of wilderness medicine grew out of the need to provide care to persons who were far from urban resources, frequently in austere settings. It addresses the unique conditions of wilderness environments, such as high altitude or extremes of temperature, and their physiologic and pathophysiologic effects. Wilderness medicine has grown to encompass a broader range of settings, not just those traditionally thought of as wilderness. Wilderness medicine can therefore be described as the practice of medicine in settings with any of the following: 1) extreme or uncontrolled environmental conditions; 2) absent, inadequate, or otherwise scant resources; and 3) substantial time delay in transport to or arrival of definitive care.5,6 Under this definition, WM scenarios would include challenges like those health care professionals face working in remote medical outposts in the Northwest Territories or during disasters such as the wildfire that swept through Slave Lake, Alta, in May 2011.
Environment refers to how natural elements and human factors affect patient physiology to cause a medical problem, make a developing problem worse, or make a pre-existing problem unstable. Examples of natural factors include meteorological, aquatic, or terrestrial extremes, while human factors include, but are not limited to, remote communities, expeditions, and armed-conflict zones.
This definition of WM does not depend on any particular setting or circumstance. Instead, it extends the scope of WM far beyond a typical wilderness setting, applying whenever any of these 3 features influences care.
The scope and variety of WM takes it beyond any single field; although it overlaps closely with family medicine, it also shares elements with emergency medicine, sports and exercise medicine, trauma surgery, orthopedics, public health, travel medicine, and veterinary medicine.8 The wilderness medicine practitioner (WMP), who could be from any health care profession, must integrate the science and art of these diverse disciplines in order to optimize patient care. Furthermore, circumstances might require a WMP to reach beyond his or her traditional medical role and draw upon skills typically assigned to paramedics, nurses, or other health care professionals.9 These skills include triaging, formulating a diagnosis and treatment plan in the field, starting intravenous infusions, administering medication, and transport and evacuation, to name a few. Finally, owing to the unconventional settings in which WMPs find themselves, they need expertise in survival, navigation, search and rescue, and incident command systems6,10 (Figure 1). Ultimately, the WMP maintains competencies that create a unique practice of medicine.
Diverse practitioners in Canada deliver WM. They include providers living and working in remote environments—physicians and nurses in rural or remote communities or medical outposts, and paramedics working in rural environments where transport times are measured in hours, if not days. There are dedicated organizations whose practices are largely wilderness-based: the military, the coast guard, and search and rescue groups. For these WMPs, the typical treatment goals used in conventional medical settings are reframed within a WM context. Consider the standard management of an open tibial plateau fracture, which is open reduction and internal fixation, antibiotics, venous thrombosis prophylaxis, and continuing wound care. These interventions would not be realistic if this injury occurred in a resource-poor or remote location. Evacuation to a hospital would be the ultimate goal, but the initial approach would be fracture stabilization, basic wound care, pain management, and prevention of complications while rescue or evacuation efforts were under way. Sometimes, actions that are reflexive in resource-abundant settings, such as withholding oral intake in anticipation of surgery, are impractical in a remote environment.11 In austere circumstances, maintaining patient and rescuer safety with adequate food, fluids, and shelter takes priority. Resourceful WMPs are able to balance medical necessity with the vagaries of the environment, the resources available, and the urgency of treatment when developing a unique management plan. The capacity to do so requires knowledge of how the patient could be affected by the environment, as well as the training and equipment to modify standard treatments as required.
According to the Kirby Report,12 approximately 95% of Canada’s territory is rural, with 30% of the population living in rural or remote areas. A substantial proportion of medical encounters in rural areas would fall into the WM category.13 To date, there are few statistics on illnesses and injuries occurring in remote locations. Untapped data sources already exist in Canada, including the Canadian Forces and many other federal and provincial organizations, and additional efforts are needed to examine and publicize these records. A single Canadian epidemiologic study14 examining morbidity and mortality in mountain rescue incidents in national parks showed that musculoskeletal injuries accounted for most medical issues. The same study indicated that WM settings also experience the typical array of medical conditions seen in urban emergency departments. While we are not aware of any relevant published Canadian studies, American data show that baby boomers, older adults, and younger people alike enjoy adventure activity. As such, there are changes in the risk factors and medical concern profiles of those engaging in outdoor adventure. “Diabetic hikers, post–coronary bypass surgery mountain bikers, and osteoporotic river rafters are now common in recreational areas.”15 Given the number of people living in rural or remote settings, as well as the trends in population demographics, there is a growing need for health care provision beyond the confines of urban medical facilities.
The Canadian public would also benefit from WM knowledge creation and transfer. For instance, is standard first aid or cardiopulmonary resuscitation training appropriate for persons residing in rural or remote communities, especially as this style of training depends on the support of urban emergency medical services and medical infrastructure?11 Is there a more appropriate model for these communities? We speculate that there are practices and criterion standards that might need to be reevaluated using a WM lens in order to optimize their effectiveness and relevance in resource-poor or remote settings.
Wilderness medicine offers the opportunity to explore ways in which the environment affects the human condition. Table 11–4 displays examples of biomedical research conducted in Canada that have clinical relevance to WM. Beyond its obvious application to those engaging in recreation or work in extreme environments, WM research also has relevance in other areas of medicine (eg, pulmonology and critical care). Future WM research within Canada is limited only by imagination. Important areas for investigation include cold and heat exposure; infectious diseases and animal encounters related to changing environmental conditions (eg, West Nile virus, Lyme disease, invasive venomous species); the physiology of endurance sports; and management of special needs and conditions (eg, diabetes, cystic fibrosis, cancer) far from routine care or in extreme environments.
The current state of WM in Canada ranges from practice dictated by necessity, to scattered instances of formal training, research, and focused practice. While WM is not a recognized field in this country, the discipline is undergoing a process of formalization. A scientifically established WM knowledge base is growing, and evidence-informed standards of care are evolving.
Wilderness medicine would undoubtedly benefit from wider recognition and attention within the Canadian health care system. There are individuals and small groups trying to nurture the growth of WM. Formal links between the medical community and organizations already engaged in WM will promote education and encourage development of evidence-informed practice recommendations. Robust educational experiences (medical school electives, fellowships, and accredited CME) are vital if we hope to attract sharp, adventuresome minds to this field and to continue to cultivate its development. Fostering research interest will lead to clinically relevant recommendations and allow Canadian investigators to continue to contribute to the international body of WM knowledge. As WM continues to grow, Canadians are in an enviable position, if inspired to action. Collectively, we have the opportunity to steer the scientific development of WM in ways relevant to policy, education, and practice.

Castle in the Air: Gnome King Abducted!
Do you know someone whose cow has died recently? Perhaps they have fallen victim of the Awful Curse of the King of the Gnomes. His royal gnomeness was last seen on Friday sitting on his throne atop Mount Broadbark at Castle in the Air. Now he and his lieutenant Mosstoe are missing and we are assuming the worst. Why is it that bandits think this sort of violation doesn't hurt them as much as it hurts us?
Oh For Shame and For not!!!!! Unbelievable How are the Gnomelandians holding up with out their king??? They must be devestated :( How could this happen do human's have no shame??
A curse on the lot of them!! May they spend the rest of their lives wearing shoes 3 sizes to small,and may their heads become home to a family of wood peckers!! Because they surely must be blockheads to do something this despicable :( SO it has been said SO shall it be written!!
Seriously Karima, it never ceases to amaze me how low some humans are willing to stoop!!
Please convey to all the gnomes my condolences for their lost. And I will light a faerie candle in hopes of his safe return !!
Well said! May the abductor find his mushrooms rotting under his bed, and his coal turned to dust! | 2019-04-18T21:22:45Z | http://blog.castleintheair.biz/2009/02/gnome-king-abducted.html |
ISTANBUL – The candidate from Turkey’s main opposition party appeared headed for victory on Monday in the race to become mayor of Istanbul, an influential post that launched the political career of the country’s president and one he had zealously sought to keep in the hands of his ruling party.
Sadi Guven, the head of Turkey’s high election board, told reporters on Monday that the opposition candidate, Ekrem Imamoglu, was leading his competitor, Binali Yildirim, by nearly 28,000 votes.
Yildirim, who served as prime minister under President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, acknowledged his opponent’s lead on Monday but did not concede defeat.
The race was part of nationwide local elections held on Sunday that were widely seen as a referendum on Erdogan’s policies, including his faltering effort to prevent a downturn in the economy. Preliminary results showed the ruling Justice and Development Party, or AKP, led all other parties among voters. But opposition victories in several of Turkey’s largest cities, including Ankara, the capital, dealt Erdogan a significant symbolic defeat.
Imamoglu’s victory in Istanbul, if confirmed, would be the harshest blow. | 2019-04-21T16:32:02Z | https://www.pressreader.com/usa/the-buffalo-news/20190402/281676846273367 |
In 1999, a 60,000 square-foot helicopter guidance chip manufacturing facility was being transformed into a manufacturing plant for antenna and line support products along with enterprising co-location mounting frames.
CLICK TO TWEET: Guest blog author Craig Lekutis highlights what a difference a couple of decades make in the wireless industry.
Three years earlier in 1996, the National Association of Tower Erectors (NATE) held its first conference with a respectable 223 participants who were determined to elevate the safety of wireless infrastructure workers.
Last month in Texas, CommScope and NATE proudly displayed what a difference a couple of decades can make. On my way to CommScope’s sprawling 11-acre facility in Euless, Tex. to take part in a tour that was being held so that FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr could learn of the exacting ISO standards, technology and production equipment that is required to produce the street furniture and other structures necessary to roll out 5G, I recalled my first visit almost two decades earlier.
At that time, Plant Site Manager Kevin Paswalk was directing the ambitious expansion of the facility to meet the growing demand for co-location products and customer integration fulfillment needs. For someone who had never been in a manufacturing plant, it was truly interesting to see how workers in five welding booths, one saw operator and a turret punch and break press operator could turn out precision products so quickly.
Almost 20 years later, that interest turned into amazement as I witnessed the technological advances at the CommScope facility. Four work cells with robotic welders, laser cutters and other equipment were humming along with loud rhythmic sounds made by seemingly endless break presses and punch equipment within the plant’s 250,000 square feet under roof.
Commissioner Carr was also taken in by the expansive facilities that started with 30 employees during a single shift to over 180 employees today that are required for the 24/7 operation. He said that CommScope was playing a critical role in making the transition to 5G and assisting the nation to be able to enjoy the economic benefits and opportunities that 5G will provide. During the tour, Paswalk, who is still enjoying the challenges of continuing to expand the plant, said the facility currently processes close to 1.8 million pounds of steel a month.
Later that evening, Commissioner Carr was a keynote speaker at NATE UNITE 2019 in Grapevine which saw a record number of attendees. FCC Chairman Ajit Pai was also a keynote speaker at the event that has become the premiere wireless infrastructure show.
I recall the first conference in 1996 in Orlando that saw an impressive attendance of over 200 people and approximately a dozen exhibitors standing behind folding tables in a hallway as they distributed mostly dog-eared black and white brochures. Like CommScope’s remarkable transition, NATE’s event dwarfed its first Orlando conference with over 2,000 attendees and a packed exhibit hall with approximately 130 exhibitors, representing a who’s who in the industry on the service and supply-side chain. | 2019-04-24T20:31:17Z | https://www.commscope.com/Blog/What-a-Difference-a-Couple-of-Decades-Make/ |

Abstract: This research was carried out at 35 stations in 16 different streams on the Biga Peninsula during the spring and summer of 2000 and 2001 to determine the freshwater ichthyofauna and community features. In addition, some physical and chemical parameters of the streams were determined in their natural environment. Fourteen taxa belonging to 5 families were determined. Leuciscus cephalus, Petroleuciscus borysthenicus, Rhodeus amarus, Phoxinus phoxinus, Chalcalburnus chalcoides, Barbus tauricus escherichi, Gobio gobio, Capoeta capoeta bergamae, Vimba vimba, Cobitis fahirae and Neogobius fluviatilis are recorded for the first time from the Biga Peninsula. The most abundant species in the study area was L. cephalus. Fish communities in the streams were analysed, where 3 different groups were formed at a level of 50% similarity. Larger streams are determined to be the richest habitats in terms of species diversity. | 2019-04-19T08:52:14Z | http://journals.tubitak.gov.tr/zoology/abstract.htm?id=8068 |

Baltimore will host the CIAA Men’s and Women’s Basketball Tournaments beginning in 2021, the conference announced today after news broke yesterday afternoon on HBCU Gameday.
Charm City beat out incumbent host city Charlotte and Norfolk for the right to host one of the nation’s most popular college sporting events, which in recent years has grossed an average of $50 million in economic impact for the Queen City and businesses in its metropolitan footprint.
Conference officials seemingly grew weary of the hotel price gouging, latent racism and bad financials of its deal with Charlotte and made good on a threat to move it to a city where Carolina-based fans may protest the new mileage required to get to everything but a CIAA basketball game, but where once-distant fans from the Philadelphia-DC-Richmond corridor may feel more at home.
The CIAA Tournament, like the Bayou Classic, has unfairly become an annual referendum on the value of HBCU athletics based upon fan attendance, corporate sponsorship dollars and buzz in traditional and social media. Without all of these things, the tournament still draws thousands of people and adds much gravitas to the tourism profile of whatever city hosts the event.
Northern-based HBCU basketball fans have to learn lessons from the spoiled and coddled fans in North Carolina, who for 13 years enjoyed the high life of the CIAA Tournament social orbit, but who never drove the tournament’s brand as an actual athletic event despite most of the participating schools being in the State of North Carolina.
Those fans won’t be coming to Baltimore; they’ll say it will be too far to go, too cold to visit in February, and not as much fun as Charlotte. All of those things may be legitimate points for everyone below Petersburg, Va., but not for everyone above it. And for everyone who is all-in for a black college basketball tournament within a two-hour drive of several major cities, the onus is on them to actually fill the Royal Farms Arena to help the conference maintain its swag as a lightning rod for companies looking to sell products and goodwill to educated, affluent black people.
The City of Baltimore also has to learn lessons from Charlotte’s mistakes in handling the CIAA Tournament. The CIAA is looking for partnership in controlling hotel room rates, limiting opportunities for independent party promoters to throw CIAA-branded parties without licensing or permission, and to support in-arena engagement opportunities. Missing work in these areas will make the two-year deal with the CIAA a limited-run show.
And when they aren’t watching the games, they have to make the Inner Harbor and downtown social areas as lit as Charlotte annually appeared on Instagram and Facebook.
This will be the first time in more than a decade where the CIAA Tournament will reclaim the opportunity to build interest not only with geographically distant alumni of CIAA schools, but also with graduates former CIAA schools like Morgan State and Hampton, and SWAC alumni now living and working in the mid-Atlantic but who do not travel to Mississippi, Houston, Atlanta or New Orleans for major conference games and tournaments.
Moving to Baltimore gives the CIAA a chance to evolve as a national event for all HBCU students and alumni, something that the tournament lost in the glitz of its run in Charlotte. The new city may not give everyone the late winter getaway they want, but it will give the conference a chance to rediscover what its basketball tournament should have always been; a showcase of HBCU talent and black buying power that just happens to give way to decent bars and clubs once the games are over, and not the other way around.
The area isn’t going to make people attend the games. Most young people go to party. I myself will not go to Baltimore! Not a good site.
Only 1 school in that area! The city is not a good spot. Not happy! I’ve gone every year since they came to Charlotte. I can’t see their hotel prices being any better. I’ve attended a conference there and the prices and parking were way higher. I will pass on Baltimore!
I can understand that from a tourist perspective. I do not understand it from a basketball perspective, which is what the conference’s approach is and what we as fans should want. Baltimore gave the conference more money for scholarships, and the basketball arena rent-free. This helps the member schools to keep more of the money they yield respectively from the tournament. I hope most fans don’t take the position that they won’t support it because it is seemingly not as good of a vacation spot as Charlotte, because Charlotte was not a good supporting partner of our schools.
Great move. If you check enrollment over 70% of HBCU students come from out of a northern state. The new location will be able to reach more of these future students and alum. Parking and hotel prices will be high but you will have more choices than was available in Charlotte. Attendance may drop for the first few nights but championship Saturday will be packed.
CIAA students and alumni should give it a shot to see how the City of Baltimore responds to the huge influx of fans coming to Charm City to have fun, enjoy basketball and great crab cakes. Hopefully, the City will educate their police force and they will protect and not provoke problems. There have been some great AA Conferences and activities in Baltimore, with lots of music and fun,and black folks enjoyed themselves. There is lot to do in the Baltimore area, and if not go to DC and the African American Museum. | 2019-04-25T20:22:01Z | https://hbcudigest.com/the-ciaa-tournament-is-moving-to-baltimore-in-2021-dmv-alumni-better-not-blow-this-like-folks-in-north-carolina-did/ |

I have read numerous articles on sites such as Conservapedia and CreationWiki to get a feel for how insane the far-right has gotten. I am very much anti-religion or, more to the point, anti-organized religion.
Things like Intelligent Design really get my goat. I hate the hypocrisy and the false pretenses. However, all their talk of complexity and its need for a creator got me thinking. I’ll have to thank them for that at least. It occurred to me that complexity was the worst case that they could make. In that moment I had an epiphany: Why Bother?
The case for why an omnipotent deity would care about insignificant nobodies such as us has been made before. However, my idea was a tad different. Why did I have a liver to filter the things I put in my body? Why am I not some homogenous goo?
Why did I need a filter? Why did I need blood to carry oxygen to my cells? Why am I made up of cells? Why is there oxygen? Why does the universe need its fundamental laws of physics? An omnipotent deity shouldn't be constrained by the need to have things “just right”. Shouldn’t I just be able to “live”?
On a more fundamental level shouldn’t I just be the soul/spirit energy/whatever that they say that I am? Ultimately I wonder: Why Bother? | 2019-04-20T08:43:24Z | https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Essay:Complexity_limits_an_Omnipotent_Deity |
I was a lilac-lidded 11 year old back then) before finally seeming to lay to rest for the noughties.
Blue eyeshadow has been around the block more than a few times. It’s no wonder people find it hard to swallow, but clearly we can’t let go. One make up artist on the news recommended the more daring to try the full on bandit look, and while I am all for experimenting I couldn’t help but think there must be a way to make this shade “wearable” today. I had to investigate!
I hadn’t really set out to buy a blue eyeshadow, but I happened to have a voucher for Swedish shop Lindex. I spotted this iridescent blue shade (28 Tropical Blue) while looking at their newly released make up line which I had wanted to try out. Two birds one stone, plus it was basically free so if it turned out to be horrendously unwearable there would be no major loss.
Tropical Blue is a light denim shade with a lovely metallic sheen which can be blended out nicely. Here I have applied it wet and dry.
First of all I wanted to focus solely on a stroke of blue, rather than the full-lid experience of previous decades. I built up the colour softly over a light layer of Too Face Shadow Insurance for stability, creating an opaque base with a blended crease to avoid harsh cartoony lines.
Blue is opposite orange on the colour wheel, so the shade really warmed up my brown eyes. I kept my brows defined but natural with some tinted brow gel, added a touch of mascara, a neutral toned lipgloss and a slightly rosy blush. My foundation is my favourite Bourjouis Healthy Mix Serum in the shade Vanilla Claire.
I ended up removing the gloss as it felt like it was veering towards the 90s in a bad way and I definitely prefer it with natural lips. So far so good, although it still felt like a look for a special occasion. Could I make this colour work for say, an office environment?
But enough blue to make my eye colour pop!

Lawrencium, the last element of the actinide series, was first synthesized at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in 1961 by the nuclear-physics team headed by Albert Chiorso. The synthesis was achieved by bombarding a californium target with boron-10 and boron-11 from the heavy ion linear accelerator. This team was responsible for the element being named in honor of Ernest O. Lawrence, who built the first working cyclotron. However, the initial experiments by the Berkeley team did not produce all the data ideally desired to prove an element's existence--this data came from later Berkeley experiments as well as from work by the Russian Joint Institute for Nuclear Research. IUPAC officially recognized both teams as co-discoverers of the element in 1992.
Because only a few atoms have ever been created, and the isotopes have very short half-lives, scientists have not had sufficient opportunity to study the element in detail. Consequently, it has no commercial applications and little is known about its characteristics.
Lawrencium is a Block D, Group 3, Period 7 element. The number of electrons in each of lawrencium's shells is 2, 8, 18, 32, 32, 8, 3, and its electron configuration is [Rn] 5f147s27p. The lawrencium atom has a Van der Waals radius of 246.pm. In its elemental form, lawrencium's CAS number is 22537-19-5. Lawrencium behaves differently from dipositive nobelium and more like the tripositive elements found earlier in the actinide series. Lawrencium is radioactive and therefore considered toxic. Lawrencium was discovered by Albert Ghiorso, Torbjorn Sikkeland, Almon E. Larsh and Robert M. Latimer at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in 1961. It was named after Earnest O. Lawrence the inventor of the cyclotron particle accelerator. The symbol for Lawrencium was originally Lw; however, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) changed the symbol from Lw to Lr in August, 1997.
Lawrencium information, including technical data, properties, and other useful facts are discussed below. Scientific facts such as the atomic structure, ionization energy, abundance on Earth, conductivity and thermal properties are included.
Lawrencium is an artificial element. It has no stable isotopes. | 2019-04-21T08:25:26Z | https://www.americanelements.com/lr.html |
Insurers exposed to the collapse of no-win, no-fee firm The Accident Group (TAG) are unlikely to recover any of their losses, according to the failed company's administrator.
Coopers (PWC) was appointed to oversee the administration of TAG on 30 May this year.
At a creditors meeting in Manchester on 14 August it was revealed that preferred creditors of TAG are owed a total of £14.4m, but only £1.1m is available to pay all creditors. Preferred creditors, including the Inland Revenue, which is owed £11m, will receive only 8.2p for every £1 owed and unsecured creditors, including insurers, are unlikely to receive anything.
The administrators will investigate a number of claims against TAG, including allegations that the company's vetting procedures failed to weed out cases that were fraudulent or likely to fail. It has emerged that rather than the 59% success rate expected, recent data shows TAG was successful only in 50% of cases.
Based on these allegations, a number of the insurers are considering legal action against TAG, but a spokesman for Catlin said that no decision on legal action had been made. A spokeswoman for Allianz Cornhill said that rather than taking legal action, the insurer planned to focus its attention on its chances of recouping its losses through the administration process.
It has emerged that prior to the administration, TAG founder and chairman Mark Langford attempted to restructure and find new funding for the company. Pizza Express entrepreneur Hugh Osmond, HBOS, South African private equity vehicle Capricorn and investment bank Morgan Stanley were among the parties that Langford was in negotiation with. | 2019-04-26T01:58:14Z | https://www.insurancetimes.co.uk/no-cash-for-tag-underwriters/1342171.article |

When people take revenge it’s usually because they are angry and unhappy about how they were treated. I am generalizing here. There could be more reasons to it but I believe basically revenge is an act resulting out of anger. If we think deep enough we will find that those who take revenge are trying to satisfy their own righteousness. It’s as if saying, ‘Oh alright. Since you did that to me, I am going to do this to you’…. | 2019-04-25T00:15:01Z | https://wiselifeadvice.com/category/self-improvement/anger/ |
A huge dome sat in the middle of the room, stripped of its brass panels, curved girders, like the ribs of an elephant carcass, the only thing maintaining its form. Other machinery lay scattered and broken across the floor, harnessed chairs with glass piping fractured and fissured in every length creating breaches which served to render them useless. Everything had been dismantled and destroyed but Magnus saw it for what it was. This is where it had all happened. The procurement of souls.

Sherman is now older and wiser. They don't know anything about you. He was playing football with an empty can. I've done as you've asked. When we came home last night, the others were already in bed and fast asleep. He succeeded because he worked hard. I made my decision based on what you said. Jack is not an angel. It's just that I don't like it. Where is my car?
This is a rough game. They must have found out about what happened. When can I see her? This book belongs to Tony. Ralph finished her Japanese exercise. As you have difficulties, I'll help you. Martha was here for three hours. In fact, there are countless, varied uses for the Internet. Bertrand realized that Patrick didn't really like him very much. I want you to guess.
I know you probably want to be alone, so I'll leave. He said that if he knew her address, he would write to her. Why don't you? Jon is on his way to work. There's no question that this is what we should be doing. The karaoke shop is especially crowded on Saturdays. Simon is at the hotel now. "Do you think he'll come?" "I hope not." They water the fruit trees. I don't know exactly how or why that happened.
Malcolm believes that ghosts exist. We can't talk now. Let's discuss what happened in Boston. The waves crashed against the rocks. Rick and Janice took turns driving the car. Would you mind if we join you? They were always good friends. I doubt her words. I don't really cook much. I expect you to work harder.
What's your favorite yoga pose? I couldn't sleep well last night, so I don't feel well. Why don't I just buy you a hat? If you continue to take this herbal medicine, it will do you good. Alastair and Theo want to know more about John. The audience is young. Is there a contradiction there? She had an unpleasant screechy voice. Crashes in the early days of commercial jets tended to be caused by technical faults, such as metal fatigue in the airframe or engines. It doesn't make much sense to me that we aren't allowed to sit here.
I am applying for a job. He's so credulous. He takes everything you say at face value. What shall we say to this? Anything else than to agree? Edith caught a whole string of fish. You might not get another chance. I bet it's fine tonight. We had to walk home. Cary is very elusive. We're the good guys. There are two or three pens on the desk.
I believe he is coming tomorrow. I don't have any trouble believing that. Put that book aside for me. Scott burst out laughing when he saw Patricia. She turned a page of her book. Donn could have said it for all I knew. You always excuse your faults by blaming others. What'll you tell her? I haven't talked to Hsi yet. Did you open the box?
They will have to cut down their expenses. The most dangerous thing Dean ever tried to do was bungee jumping. Markus will show you to your quarters. I have so much to teach you. We can't lose. Since this isn't your native language, I'd suggest unowning this sentence, leaving it free for a native speaker to adopt. This way we can all be confident that it's a good sentence. The shop sells articles of all kinds. I'm still waiting for an answer. It was a very pleasant afternoon. I noticed that I had grown up when I started following my parents' advice.
Please don't do that. In this tale, the god of rain, storms, and lightning is called Chac Mool. Is Anna any better? Our guests will arrive in a few minutes. They know who he is. Japan's foreign aid is decreasing in part because of an economic slowdown at home. Joyce felt different from the other children. Judy's parents live in an old trailer. I had been studying mathematics about an hour, when I felt sleepy. What was I worrying about?
It's easy to look at the world through rose-colored glasses. Rousseau was mad but influential; Hume was sane but had no followers. Dirty drinking water can cause sickness. I must work tonight. I know about your feelings. I hear someone singing. There used to be a hut about here. You'll understand it later on. Sunil really wants to meet you. He needs a cab. | 2019-04-19T19:13:15Z | http://uletic.com/5806187172 |

New York City is known as the city that never sleeps, and no one seems to take that reputation more seriously than Mayor Bill de Blasio. After being sworn into office in January 2014, de Blasio took on one of the City’s most infamous killers: traffic. In 2013, the year before de Blasio was elected mayor, there were 183 pedestrians killed in traffic crashes, the highest number since 2003. De Blasio wanted the City to change the way it viewed these collisions and fatalities. “We no longer regard serious crashes as inevitable,” wrote de Blasio in an open letter to the City.
In order to combat these traffic-related deaths, de Blasio launched the Vision Zero Action Plan. This initiative called for action from citizens all over New York, from lawmakers and authorities in the traffic, transit and fleet industries to members of each borough and local community. “It is within our power to prevent tragedies on the streets,” wrote de Blasio.
When the City Fleet first wanted to improve the safety of their fleet operations, covered over 29,000 vehicles, they knew that they needed a highly accurate way to track collision metrics. The metrics tracked include citywide collisions by fleet agency, collisions with injuries, pedestrian injuries, fatalities, collisions by geographic location and collisions with both moving and non-moving objects. Other important fleet pieces tracked are internal, such as whether or not employees have completed defensive driving courses, state inspections, completed and overdue preventive maintenance, fleet roster and the installation of truck sideguards.
Crystal Reports: Many factors go into keeping the City’s fleet operations safe, such as collision metrics, defensive driving course completions and preventive maintenance. FleetFocus’ weekly crystal reporting helps to accurately track and report on these factors.
The crystal reports used for fleet safety reporting as part of Vision Zero were custom-built for the fleet team in New York City. Crystal is a third party vendor embedded into FleetFocus’ M5 system, so when the City fleet team was launching its initiatives through Vision Zero, they approached the AssetWorks team in order to custom create crystal reports to match the program’s needs.
In these reports, there is a 3-level reporting model. Level 1 is either a pie or bar chart. Level 2 is a summary and Level 3 is a detailed column that displays the data summarized in levels 1 and 2. All three levels can be pulled into one report or kept separate with ease.
Dashboards- Fleet’s use of dashboards is also essential to tracking the factors necessary to keeping the fleet safe. Dashboards are used to display real-time information using a graphical gauge format. Fleet utilizes several Emergency and Roadside dashboards in order to show various threshold points, such as breakdowns waiting for a tow, suspended road calls and vehicles awaiting an assignment. There are also several Parts Availability dashboards in use for keeping track of part quantities, order logs and which jobs or units are waiting on parts.
New York City has also leveraged dashboards as a workflow management tool in the completion and review of collision records by decentralized staff across the City.
Ad Hoc reporting- With FleetFocus’ ad hoc reporting feature, New York City Fleet creates multiple reports to show information in slightly different formats than the standard FleetFocus reporting library. This allows the fleet team to look at their information in new ways, so they can completely understand their data. The reports keep track of various information, from employees’ hours and collision-related work to the management of units for disposal.
With the help of citizens, lawmakers and transit-related industry leaders, some of NYC Vision Zero’s goals have already been reached, including the average speed limit in the City lowered to 25 mph, stricter speeding and dangerous driving enforcement and the passing of 12 safety-related bills.
With the help of FleetFocus‘ Business Intelligence reporting features, New York City Fleet is playing an important role in supporting this citywide safety effort. | 2019-04-22T01:39:03Z | https://www.assetworks.com/resource-items/new-york-city-fleet-business-intelligence-case-study/ |
The Federation of Young European Greens (FYEG) was founded in Belgium in 1988, with the aim of bringing together young environmental groups from all over Europe in order to to encourage both mutual understanding and mutual action for a Greener Europe.
From a modest beginning with a few Member Organisations (MOs) from both Eastern and Western Europe, the FYEG has grown quite substantially. It now has 42 MOs from all the different regions of Europe. MOs vary in size, having from 70 to thousands of members. Organisations are comprised of the youth wings of Green Parties, student unions or environmental non-governmental youth organisations (youth NGOs).
The FYEG secretariat is located in the same headquarters as the EGP, and once a year hosts its General Assembly, where MOs send delegates to decide on policy and strategy, and elect an Executive Committee. The Executive Committee board of nine people is elected to serve for a year and Executive Committee members can serve two terms consecutively. The Executive Committee leads and coordinates the activities of the Federation. There is no leadership hierarchy and we insist on having a flat structured and gender-balanced committee, although Executive Committee members do have individual areas of responsibility. They have been assisted by an elected full-time paid Secretary General. Together, they function in smaller teams to increase efficiency, but important decisions are made by the whole Executive Committee. Our opinions and statements are based on our political platform, which is discussed and updated each year during our General Assembly. By far, most our members are under 30, and all our events are planned and run by young unpaid activists from across Europe. We run a variety of activities over the span of a year with the objective of facilitating cooperation and mutual working between Member Organisations. We hold at least four major events annually which vary between meetings, seminars, study sessions, summer camps, political debates and training sessions. These are held in different parts of Europe where our members can meet, exchange views, broaden their horizons and find common cause with other Europeans, creating a real European sense of identity.
The FYEG also organises International Campaigns such as; Climate, anti-TTIP, Reclaim Your Future, Reclaim Europe!, Youth, Election campaign for the European Union Elections, etc.
Various methods are used in order to achieve our objectives. One of the most important is the spread of information. Ecosprinter is our journal which publicises our point of view and informs our activists of past and upcoming events. FYEG also have active email lists for different issues and different projects over the year. We regularly attend seminars and meetings organised by the European Commission, the Council of Europe, the European Youth Forum (of which we are full members), EGP (of which we are observers) and other partner organisations. This set-up realises FYEG's vision of empowering young people to play a part in European civil society rather than passively consuming events organised for them by adults. We want to develop a future Europe for young people and by young people with a number of opportunities to express themselves, based on environmental and social justice.
During the last few years, we focused strongly on expanding our network toward Central and Eastern Europe. This is reflected in the full membership of organisations from the Czech Republic, Hungary, Serbia and Ukraine. A daughter organisation called Cooperation and Development Network Eastern Europe (CDN) was set up. In the future we aim to continue developing our network in the CEE region, in light of the enlargement and further European integration processes, and also focus on other networks and regions such as Euro-Med. We will also seek closer co-operation with other Green organisations outside Europe and also other international organisations.
The FYEG is a functioning and active organisation, growing and becoming more dynamic and more effective. We are reaching out to new MOs and our MOs are becoming better organised, with our support. We will carry on supporting Europe and its Green future. | 2019-04-21T10:40:00Z | https://europeangreens.eu/content/egp-youth-wing |
Centerless grinding is a common, and the oldest machining process used to remove metals from work pieces.
“Setup for the Centerless Grinder” explains how to set up a centerless grinder for typical outer diameter (OD) operations. The class explains the necessary setup for the work rest blade and regulating wheel angle of inclination, as well as the methods for selecting and mounting a grinding wheel.
How To Machine Centerless Grinding Work. Centerless grinding - Wikipedia. Centerless grinding uses purpose-built centerless grinding machines. Such a machine will always include the grinding wheel, regulating wheel, and some means of supporting a workpiece.
The cylindrical grinder is a type of grinding machine used to shape the outside of an object. The cylindrical grinder can work on a Centerless cylindrical grinder. | 2019-04-23T20:44:36Z | http://studiobaba.eu/13386/how-to-machine-centerless-grinding-work/ |

For other applications and installers, they’re either an MSI wrapped in a single executable (like Acrobat Reader), or a different type of installer (like Nullsoft Installer) and will have their own switches. Below are a few of the tricks and tools I use to find out how best to get these applications into “silent†mode as much as possible.
Elevated Shortcut to give the ability to run certain apps without UAC or administrator capabilities on a “per shortcut†basis, can upgrade an existing shortcut to have admin rights, or create a completely new one.
Set to snapshot so you can rollback often, nothing but updates installed so you can install all/one app and then roll it back if it works as expected, leaving a clean machine for further testing.
If you can, right-click and “WinRar†or “UniExtract to Subdir†the installer into a folder, and find the setup.exe or similar in there, and return to Option #1 to see if you can run a silenced install.
This is especially true for applications like Chrome and Shockwave Player that have small “helper†applications for download, but then pull down the “real†installer and run that. If a 40MB app has a 300K installer, you know something’s up.
Watch out for these, as they will often delete the “helper†app once the full installer’s been downloaded, thus killing your automation by removing the installer’s executable.
Once you’ve got that folder, look for executables and drop them on the USSF again, to see what you can find.
Option #4: Is there a portable version?
Sometimes there’s no graceful way to install an application, but if you still want to install it quickly to a number of workstations, see if perhaps the developers offer a “portable†version of the app. One that runs completely out of the installation folder, without any installation necessary.
Note: Portable applications are not listed as installed applications in the registry, so they’re effectively “invisible†to utilities that search systems for installed programs Keep that in mind if you plan on going portable with something – you probably won’t be able to track it effectively.
Fonts can be copied into the target system’s “c:\Windows\Fonts\†folder or app by hand if you’re an admin, but if you forcibly copy them in via network access (\\machinename\c$\windows\fonts\), they won’t show up as usable until they’re been imported into the registry too.
Once you have your installer figured out, you can add the executable to the Windows Post Installation tool (WPI) found in the \WindowsUpdates folder.
After launching the WPI, click Config, and find the application you’re replacing, or updating.
Eg: New version of Firefox installation that takes 4 seconds to install is good – but one that blows away your saved passwords and settings is bad.
Run every app at least once to make sure it really did what you think it did – It may have completed installation successfully, but does it actually launch now?
Example: Office 2007 upgraded to Office 2010 can remove Access 2007, even if Office 2010 didn’t include it.
Also watch out for installers/updates that forcibly reboot your system when completed silently.
Is the application installed for ALL users, or just the currently logged-in user/admin? Google Chrome is a good example of this.
Try not to leave icons all over your user’s desktop – collect them into a folder under c:\users\public\desktop so they can’t delete them, but can copy them out onto their own desktop or quicklaunch bar if they want to. | 2019-04-26T02:23:32Z | http://www.geckotemple.com/blog/2013/05/22/windows-application-automation-101/ |

Anthony Hopkins was in Silence of the Lambs for only sixteen minutes. For that, he won the Academy Award for Best Actor and even more to the point—as you know—became one of the best movie villains ever. And yet, the level of sophistication concerning too many Godzilla reviews seems to find that not enough onscreen time indicates film failure. “Brevity is the soul of wit,” Hopkins needed just sixteen minutes, and for this summer blockbuster in May, Gareth Edwards’ Godzilla will leave you wanting more screen time in the way that you want orgasms to last longer.
Okay. It’s not that good, but hyperbole helps clarify that it’s already amazing; more would be better, but you’re already enjoying yourself. A lot. What’s not an exaggeration is that Godzilla, the character, succeeds because almost every other part of the film exceeds expectations in unexpected ways.
Beginning with the opening credit sequence, there’s, well, an opening credit sequence. When done right, they not only provide valuable information but help you transition from quotidian reality to this heightened state of expectation. Alexander Desplat wrote the score. I’m most familiar with his Julie & Julia, a score that’s perfect for a Nora Ephron film. Immediately, a comparison to John Williams comes to mind as, over and over, Desplat’s composing evokes the heavy orchestration and prominent use of the low brass section just as Williams’ did in Raiders of the Lost Ark. It does feel a little manic in a way that I can only describe as if a pinch Danny Elfman was thrown in. Like a dash of cayenne. Think opening credits for Men in Black. Williams’ work also includes Sabrina, a score just as delicate and lyrical as Desplat’s Julie & Julia, and something you should see if you haven’t.
Not as well known is the screenwriter, Max Borenstein. He’s a younger guy and hasn’t done too much yet. At the same time, he’s written a graphic novel prequel to Godzilla called Godzilla: Awakening. A delightful article drawing an important parallel in terms of Christopher Nolan’s realistic Joker to the realism of Godzilla can be found here.
This realism is crucial and bears itself out in the opening credits. From familiar images of sea monsters that look lifted from medieval maps to footage from the ’50s and ’60s of the military and nuclear bomb testing to this witty effect of redacting some of the credits, the film seamlessly makes its case. Right there. Opening credits. Specifically, that humanity has always known about these monsters of the deep, and these images on maps weren’t just creative thinking. Atomic testing made things worse. In a clever move, each line of credits comes up and then is redacted with that familiar swipe that we see on government documents. With music evoking Raiders of the Lost Ark, these first moments couldn’t come off any better.
Alas, not all is perfect in Godzilla. Bryan Cranston and Juliette Binoche play the parents of our main character, actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson. Given that much of the Godzilla story is supposed to be about the human element, it’s a sad irony that this is the film’s weakness. Cranston is always glorious, but his hair in the movie was shockingly distracting. I know I risk sounding shallow here, but I couldn’t believe it. I know what they were doing in trying to make him younger with the hair, but I swear, you can see it on Cranston’s face. He knows his fake hair looks terrible. Still, it’s Cranston, and he’s marvelous. I was thankful for each second of his presence on screen…except where it mattered most.
A better example would be a lesser movie, Armageddon. Bruce Willis hitting golf balls off the oil rig in the direction of the Greenpeace protesters was terrible but hilarious. And when he was describing his crew, Bear, played by Michael Clark Duncan (I still can’t believe he’s gone), Willis describes him as “Probably the only black man on a Big Dog in Kadoka, South Dakota,” as images of Duncan on a motorcycle, roaring down a gravel road, with police cars in chase, play on the screen. I was in South Dakota when watching this movie in the theater, and the entire theater exploded in praise at this scene. Admittedly, this is an extreme example, but I could go on. And you know what I’m talking about.
Instead, we get thirty seconds of a weirdly-haired Cranston and Binoche talking in a car and trying to be cute. But it was just awkward. In a bad way. It was almost as bad as Chrisotpher Nolan’s failure at making any of his female leads compelling in all his Batmans. I was so excited when Maggie Gyllenhaul was cast but devastated when she died. Not because she died, but because I didn’t care.
The bigger sin, however, was the casting for our main character, Aaron Taylor-Johnson. He looks the part, but he just doesn’t have the voice or acting chops for this kind of role. Thankfully, the film is so well made, the human element seems less and less important as you let yourself slip into where the film wants you to go.
While the scoring is great, the sounds of Godzilla are shockingly effective. NPR covered this nicely in “What’s In A Roar? Crafting Godzilla’s Iconic Sound.” Bravo to Ethan van der Ryn and Erik Aadahl as the sound design team for this. Just as arresting are the visual effects. Jim Rygiel heads special effects. He’s won three Oscars and is known for his work on the LOTR trilogy. I had difficulty finding information about the special effects, so here’s a cached article if you want to nerd out.
This is one of the best teaser trailers I’ve ever seen. And true to the movie, it makes you quake with just a shrouded image of Godzilla and that incredible roar. I was completely prepared to write this movie off until this trailer. But before the roar, before the shroud, there’s a hauntingly beautiful and terrifying scene of these soldiers parachuting out of the plane, red smoke lighting up trails as they free fall from black cloud to open, jaundiced sky, headed back into darkness. That wide shot, along with the music, will stay with me for a long time. And the film is full of these unexpected moments of haunting beauty.
There’s another scene where Elizabeth Olsen’s character sees a random parachute. All of the sudden, planes start dropping out of the sky like dead birds. That’s disturbing enough, but because we were distracted, just as Olsen’s character was, by the somewhat whimsical image of this white parachute resembling something used in the ’40s versus the more modern parachutes of today, we are even more disturbed. Another moment like this involved Taylor-Johnson. Twice.
There are two scenes where he’s in peril, and he puts on a mask. As soon as he does, all sound retreats except for his breathing. It’s such an elegant way to create suspense and arrest the attention. Artful, even. Director Gareth Edwards is a somewhat new director, but what happened under his helm seems to reflect a wisdom and command of storytelling that belies his credentials. This, along with the brilliant move on the part of the plot of making Godzilla into more of an uneasy hero, buoys this film into something that merits its box office spoils. I’m finding more reviews go into more detail about the plot, so I’ll not add to the mix. I will say, however, that just like I’m still uneasy about my affection for Hannibal Lector, I felt this same unease with Godzilla. But more in that Joseph Campbell way and less the “Fff, fff, fff” fava beans and Chianti way. | 2019-04-26T03:58:20Z | https://gozamos.com/2014/05/movie-review-godzilla/ |
Risk Officer is responsible for mapping the main corporate risks as well as reporting the mitigation actions that the business takes to manage the risk (Enterprise Risk Management). In 2017, the Risk Officer function considered it necessary to integrate the company risk model (Fincantieri Risk Universe) with additional risks concerning the company’s social responsibility following a structured process specifically centred on sustainability.
Our Risk Universe has been defined as part of the “ERM project” which provided the Company with an Enterprise level process for detecting, evaluating and monitoring the main corporate risks, in compliance with the requirements for listed companies as per the Corporate Governance Code for the Italian Stock Market.
The process is divided into parts, starting with risk (and opportunity) mapping in terms of sustainability and climate change, using specific tools to identify the main risks by business area. The objective is to provide a vision of the set of pervasive and evolving risks and the interconnections that may pose a threat to the creation of value and achievement of the Company’s objectives in a context similar to that of Fincantieri.
10 sustainability risks, identified from the analysis, were added to the risk map and included in the specific Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) category.
Risk of not achieving an excellent sustainability rating with specialized rating companies and analysts, or of a negative impact on reputation following a poor sustainability rating.
Risk of a damage to the Company brand that exposes it to loss of clients, profits and the competitive advantage gained on the market.
Risk of not adopting Public Relations strategies on the sustainability issues or transmission of inconsistent Company messages regarding enviromental, social and governance initiatives. Risk of not using the lever of sustainability to build and broaden relations with stakeholders. This category includes the risk that relationships with local, national and international counterparties (local cities and authorithies/associations, legal and government authorities, industrial associations, etc.) are inefficient or ineffective, infuencing the Company's ability to compete.
Risk that the Governance Model is not adequately communicated to all levels of the Company, creating ineffective communication regarding sustainability issues among the stakeholders, Board of Directors, and company management, incorrect delegation of powers, and inappropriate decisions on sustainability. This category also includes the risk of lack of implementation of monitoring programs for activities related to sustainability or the risk of inadequate preventive or investigative checks and controls relative to sustainability performance.
Risk of lack of integration or poor integration in company processes and activities of the sustainability principles (including ethics) defined in the Sustainability Governance Model. This category includes the risk relating to the absence or inadequacy of a monitoring and control process for environmental and social issues, as well as inadequate assignment of resources for this purpose.
Risk of the abscence or inadequacy of training programmes with consequent lack of skills in relation to sustainability issues. This category also includes the risk that individual performance objectives are not alignes with or specific enough to guide conduct to support the sustainability strategy, and/or there are no adequate indices to measure sustainability performance.
Risk that the Company, withing its strategy of sustainable growth, does not implement processes aimed at valuing human capital, guaranteeing respect for diversity and equal opportunity, protecting human rights, and ensuring the health and safety of the workers.
Risk that the Company invests in and builds products and/or uses materials incompatible with environmental protection.
Risk that due diligence on potential suppliers is not conducted adequately and of lack of monitoring of respect for environmental and social regulations in contracts concluded, with consequent execution of activities not in line with the sustainability principles (correct use of natural resources, protection of individual rights, etc.).
Risk that the Company adopts inadequate measures for incorporating sustainability principles in its evaluation of environmental issues and performs activities not in line with sustainability principles. This categoru also covers lack of activation of controls aimed at preventing environmental damage or lack of/inadequate evaluation and implementation of programmes for the recovery of biodiversity following environmental damage.
Company bodies are provided information through reports, including a specific report on CSR risks for the Sustainability Committee, with the objective of facilitating its function of providing guidance to the Company. | 2019-04-21T05:21:32Z | https://www.fincantieri.com/en/sustainability/governance/sustainability-risks/ |
The House in Fata Morgana proved to be quite the journey for me. It took me nearly three months of on-and-off playing to finally clear, but in the end, it was totally worth it. Not only does the game provide an excellent story with a great sense of atmosphere, but it also does so with a unique art style and a soundtrack that quickly became one of my favorites.
Unique art style. Most Japanese visual novels nowadays have a very distinct “anime” style, which, while not bad, can get a bit tiring, especially given the little difference between most of them. The House in Fata Morgana, on the other hand, immediately sets itself apart from the crowd by employing a unique gothic art style. The characters are drawn in such a way that they still look like they come from a visual novel, but they also have that stylistic gothic touch to them, creating this unique artistic blend that really lends itself well to establishing the game’s dark atmosphere.
It’s not just the characters though, the background art also manages something similar. There are some scenes that take real-world environments and apply a stylistic filter, other scenes that are clearly drawn in the same vein as the game’s characters, and even some more abstract scenes that help in conveying certain elements of the story. I had never played a game that looked quite like this, so it did take some getting used to, but I grew to appreciate how well it worked for the story it was trying to tell.
Great use of atmosphere. On top of its unique art style, Fata Morgana also provides a dreary atmosphere to match it. In fact, I like to compare it to that of Danganronpa, but with one key difference. Whereas Danganronpa is a game where hope and despair clash, The House in Fata Morgana is basically that, but without the hope. It’s pretty much just constant despair with little sprinkles of hope scattered about.
Not to say that that’s a bad thing though, I actually felt like it made for a much better story. Being in a constant well of despair can really show the depths of the human heart, a topic that the game heavily focuses on. It touches on several serious topics as a result and there’s a very good reason why there’s a disclaimer at the beginning of the game despite being released as an “all-ages” title. The game really just takes full advantage of this atmosphere and manages to craft a brilliant story around it.
Excellent storyline. Of course, the game’s atmosphere would have been completely wasted had the storyline not been up to par, but fortunately, The House in Fata Morgana manages to do this and so much more. It provides a story full of well-written characters, takes place in a setting not often seen in the genre, and manages to maintain a certain degree of complexity without feeling convoluted. Considering how long the game is, that last point is actually rather impressive, as many visual novels tend to lose focus over the course of an extended runtime. Fata Morgana, on the other hand, manages to avoid this problem, fully developing its characters while at the same time maintaining a relatively steady, yet slow pace throughout. It makes for an exceptional story that is further bettered by its use of atmosphere.
God-tier soundtrack. I am a huge fan of soundtracks for games, movies, TV, and other entertainment. I listen to them everyday, whether I be doing work, reading, or writing reviews like this. In fact, the genre has pretty much shaped my taste in music over the past several years. As such, I cannot overstate the genius behind Fata Morgana‘s soundtrack. Simply put, The House in Fata Morgana has one of the best soundtracks I have ever had the pleasure of listening to across any medium, be it movie, game, or otherwise.
It’s not only incredibly varied, but also perfectly matches the game’s atmosphere. There’s the somber, slow piano tunes, the ominous, atmospheric pieces, and even some more upbeat, colorful tracks for the few happy scenes in the game. On top of that, there are a bunch of vocal tracks mixed in there, some seemingly full of hope, and some that just bring you right back to despair. The game’s soundtrack is as much a roller coaster as its story in terms of emotions.
In fact, at times it even felt like the music was matching the pace of the events unfolding on-screen, creating a very immersive experience. Despite this, there were still several moments in the game where I stopped reading just to appreciate the music playing during that scene — it’s just that good even on its own. This is not something I take lightly either, this is the kind of soundtrack I would compare other soundtracks against to judge their quality.
Rough first few chapters. The House in Fata Morgana has a great overall story, but I can easily see why some would have a hard time getting past the first few chapters. This is because those first few chapters are rather rough to read. Not only are they incredibly slow-paced (although really, the entire game is pretty slow), but they also don’t make much sense and appear to jump all over the place. In fact, these first few chapters are largely the reason why it took me so long to get through the game. It’s definitely one of those games where most of the first half is used to setup the rest of the story, even if it comes at the cost of turning away potential readers. I won’t go into further detail in order to avoid spoilers, but I will say that the game definitely does improve past those first few chapters, so don’t let them scare you off.
Lossy soundtrack compression. Despite all of the praise I’ve given the game’s soundtrack, it unfortunately comes with one major drawback: that being that it is only available in a lossy format. This is incredibly disappointing to see, especially because this compression is quite noticeable on some tracks.
You would think that this problem would be solved on the game’s official soundtrack release, but it unfortunately is not. The quality is a bit better there, but is still about the same quality you’d get from a YouTube video. It’s really just a shame that a soundtrack as good as this is barred behind a lossy master. Maybe one day we’ll see a full lossless release, but as it stands, we’re stuck with the compressed version.
While the beginning may be a bit hard to get through, the overall story is definitely worth the read. From the game’s unique art style, to its masterful use of atmosphere, there’s really a lot to like here. On top of that, the soundtrack is one of the best I have ever listened to, both in and outside the medium. It’s one of the more unsettling visual novels I’ve played, but it is masterfully crafted as such and definitely earns my recommendation.

Fisker Automotive Inc. might file for bankruptcy as soon as this week under pressure from the Dept. of Energy to recoup the $192 million it loaned the hybrid vehicle maker, according to Reuters, which cites unidentified sources.The Anaheim, Calif.-based company’s first payment on that loan is due on April 22.
Fisker Automotive Inc. might file for bankruptcy as soon as this week under pressure from the Dept. of Energy to recoup the $192 million it loaned the hybrid vehicle maker, according to Reuters, which cites unidentified sources.
The Anaheim, Calif.-based company’s first payment on that loan is due on April 22. Fisker’s board met on Tuesday, reportedly to discuss seeking Chapter 11 protection.
The company dismissed three-quarters of its employees late last week to conserve cash. Talks with potential buyers have collapsed. Founder and Chairman Henrik Fisker quit late last month, citing “major disagreements” with the company’s executives.
In bankruptcy, the DOE would be first in line for proceeds from the sale of Fisker’s assets, which were pledged as collateral for its loan.
The Wall Street Journal cites anonymous sources who say the company is now trying to line up bidders for an eventual bankruptcy court auction.
In Chapter 11, Fisker might be sold without the conditions imposed by the DOE loan that reportedly have deterred many prospective bidders. The company had promised to build cars at its plant in Delaware and hire 2,500 workers there.
A Fisker bankruptcy would be controversial because of the federal assistance. Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives have already scheduled a hearing for April 24 about Fisker’s downfall. | 2019-04-18T17:15:55Z | https://www.adandp.media/articles/fisker-may-file-for-chapter-11-this-week |
This summer marked the tenth anniversary of the start of free trade negotiations between China and the GCC, a milestone that passed without much notice. Since the trade talks were launched in July 2004 there have been numerous meetings but no breakthrough. According to China’s Ministry of Commerce, the two sides have agreed on the majority of issues related to the trade in goods, but issues relating to the trade in services remain in the balance.
Free trade agreements (FTAs) are notoriously difficult to hammer out and this is far from the first to make slow progress. For evidence of that you only have to look at the GCC’s negotiations with Europe, which began in 1991. A deal with China ought to be a simpler proposition in at least some respects. After all, there are no awkward questions about human rights violations when the GCC and China sit down together, as happens when talking to EU leaders. But while the discussions with China have been moving at a sluggish pace, there are signs that the momentum may now be picking up.
Evidence of that enthusiasm came at a meeting with a GCC delegation in Beijing in January, when President Xi Jinping called for a renewed push for an FTA, saying: "I hope both sides can sign the agreement at an early date.” As a stop-gap measure, the two sides agreed a cooperation plan for the next three years in areas as diverse as politics, trade, energy, environmental protection, culture, education, and health.
Even without an FTA in place, however, the value of trade has increased enormously over the past decade. The initial aim of the FTA talks was to increase the value to more than $100 billion but that goal has already been comfortably exceeded. The total value of bilateral trade between the GCC and China rose from $33.8 billion in 2005 to $165.3 billion in 2013, according to the UN Comtrade database.
The trade is – not surprisingly – dominated by oil. According to the US Energy Information Administration, China accounts for a third of global oil consumption and in the final quarter of last year became the world’s largest net importer of oil. The Middle East is the most important source of those imports, with Saudi Arabia the largest supplier followed by the likes of Oman, Iraq and the UAE. In addition, Qatar supplied 9.2 billion cubic metres of liquefied natural gas to China last year, accounting for 17.7 percent of all Chinese natural gas imports.
In the other direction, the main Chinese exports to the Gulf include clothes, telecoms equipment, furniture and other consumer goods, most of which enter the region via the UAE and Saudi Arabia. But the two elements are not equally balanced and all those oil tankers and LNG carriers making their way from the Gulf to terminals on the south and east China seas mean there is a large trade surplus in favour of the GCC. Last year it was worth almost $46 billion.
When it comes to investment by companies, the roles are reversed. There have been some large investments in China by the likes of Saudi Aramco and Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (Sabic), which are naturally enough focused on their strengths in oil, gas and petrochemicals. Saudi Aramco established a sales and marketing office in Beijing in 1998 and these days is working closely with Sinopec on the Fujian refinery and petrochemicals complex in Quanzhou. Sabic also works with Sinopec, on the Tianjin Petrochemical Company, and last year opened a $100 million technology centre in Shanghai.
Kuwait and Qatar have also been linked with refinery projects in China. Such investments are more the exception than the rule, however, and most of the corporate activity flows in the other direction.
Emirates NBD opened its representative office in Beijing in 2012 and Wu says the core part of its operations is providing a gateway for Chinese investors wanting to target the GCC and the wider MENA region, rather than Gulf companies looking to do business in the People’s Republic.
Other banks from both sides have been trying to tap into the same trend. National Bank of Kuwait was an earlier arrival, opening its representative office in Shanghai in 2005. National Bank of Abu Dhabi followed in 2012 and Qatar National Bank arrived a year after that. In return, financial institutions such as Agricultural Bank of China, China Construction Bank, Industrial & Commercial Bank of China and Bank of China have opened branches in the Gulf.
For most of the Chinese banks and companies it is the UAE, and Dubai in particular, that appears to be the easiest first port of call in the region. From there they can service customers around the Gulf and further afield in the rest of the Middle East and parts of Africa.
For the authorities in Beijing, one possible framework for doing this lies in the idea of a new ‘Silk Road’. This is something of a pet project of Xi Jinping and involves an attempt to revive the old trading route between the Middle Kingdom and Europe via Asia. The original route bypassed most of the Middle East but the modern version encompasses both a land route through central Asia and a new maritime Silk Road, which could more easily involve Gulf ports. As yet, it is more of an idea on paper than a reality, but Beijing has brought the idea up in discussions with GCC governments and it may yet have an impact on their trade ties.
“The Silk Road is more than a slogan, though we will have to wait and see exactly how big the impact is,” says Summers. “It reflects several underlying trends. There is the growing importance of China's relations with land neighbours to the west, the fast growth in trade and investment volumes with these countries, the ability of road and rail infrastructure to link these markets in a way they were not linked in the recent past, and some diversification away from traditional developed-market trading partners.
Despite this vision, there are some doubts about how much deeper the trade relationship can realistically go. For one thing, when Chinese exporters look around the world, the Gulf appears as a fairly small market with limited potential.
“There are natural limits to the trade,” says Ben Simpfendorfer, managing director of the Hong Kong-based Silk Road Associates. “Chinese consumer goods and construction materials have already captured such a large share of the market. Where there will be additional gains will be Chinese manufacturers moving up the value chain, perhaps providing products like oil drilling equipment, or container port crane equipment.
From a Chinese perspective, the Gulf does not have much to offer beyond oil and gas resources. In addition, most Gulf companies have historically preferred to look to markets in North America, Europe and Africa when making investments.
In addition, investing in China is not necessarily all that easy. The yuan is not fully convertible, the way politics and business interweaves in China can make life for outside investors difficult – as is also the case in the GCC itself – and of course Gulf countries tend to favour dollar denominated assets given their reliance on oil revenues.
Even so, while investments may continue to lag behind, the prospects of a rise in the overall value and volume of trade between the partners appears bright, says Garbis Iradien, deputy director of the Washington DC-based Institute of International Finance.
As Iradien says, underpinning the expansion of trade is the growth of the Chinese economy. While it may not be racing ahead at the double digit pace of recent years, the IMF says it expects it to grow by a healthy 7.4 percent this year and 7.1 percent next year.
In tandem with the growing trade, the governments of the GCC and China are expected to keep working on trying to finalise an FTA. It is certainly likely to be on the agenda at the next China-GCC Strategic Dialogue, which is scheduled to be held in Doha in 2015. However, the rate at which two-way trade is increasing, some observers may be left wondering whether such a deal is even necessary. | 2019-04-20T17:14:51Z | http://www.domdudley.com/articles/2015/02/26/a-new-silk-road |
An online treasure hunt event that tests your technical and analytical skills. This event will require immense general knowledge, absolute prowess over the art of decoding clues and a lot of common sense coupled with a faithful internet connection.
There are several levels, once you clear one level you will be directed to the next level. In each level clues will be hidden in the web page itself. All you need to do is to find the clues and find the answer that relates all the clues and put the answer in the input box provided.
Each question has an unique answer, which must be entered inorder to reach the next level.
The overall leaderboard will rank players based on the total points secured in descending order.
Solving a level (till level 50) awards the player with 200 points.
The first player to crack a level gets bonus points. Everyone else gets the base 200 points only.
Levels 51+ don’t award bonus points when solved first, but instead offer 400 points to every player who solves them.
There are 2 leaderboards, the main/overall leaderboard and the daily leaderboard.
The main leader board is solely based on the points.
The daily leaderboard is based only on levels solved.
Each day has a level cap, i.e. the last question any player can solve on that day, the next question will only available on the next day. So, the person to solve the last level on a specific day(except the last day of the hunt) will win the daily prize.
All the answers are lowercase alphanumeric without spaces and special characters(unless specified otherwise). For Example, if the answer to Level 0 is Pragyan 2k19, enter “pragyan2k19”.
Think twice before giving any answers to your friends. Generocity doesn’t fetch you points. It’s each player for himself.
All decisions by the event managers are final and binding.
Players are ranked based on the points they score.
Top 3 players on the leaderboard at the end of the hunt will be declared as winners.
If there is a tie in the points scored, then the participant who solved more number of levels is ranked higher.
Even if there is a tie for the number of levels solved, then participant who solved the last level first (based on the time) is ranked higher.
A participant can get prize only for one day i.e., if the participant tops the leaderboard at the end of a day for more than one day, then the participant gets the prize only for the latest day.
The overall winner won’t qualify for any of the daily prizes. If he/she has won any daily prize, then it will carry over to the next player on the daily leaderboard of that day.
Find the answer keys to next level in the present level. This applies to all the levels. Clues include images, audio/visual info, page URL and source code of the page. Additional clues will be given by the moderators on the forum.
A) Labyrinth is a pre Pragyan event. It is an online treasure hunt event that involves solving the clues provided at each level.
Q) Who can participate in the event?
A) Anyone who has got their name registered will be provided with Pragyan ID, with these you can participate in the event.
Q) How is the ranking system?
A) Players are ranked based on the points they score.
Q) Where to find the clues?
A) Clues will be present anywhere on the Labyrinth webpage. Common places are Page title, URL and source code. The images and texts given are obvious clues.
Q) What to do if i am stuck on a level?
A) Try to unearth all the clues. If you get any queries then start the discussion on the forum.(Discussing or sharing answers will not be entertained).
Q) What if the answers have more than one word?
A) The correct way to enter the answer is to type WITHOUT SPACES OR PUNCTUATION between the words. All the answers will be in lowercase. Eg-If the answer is ‘Tokyo, Japan’ then you must enter as “tokyojapan” (without quotes).
Q) Do I need any prerequisites?
A) Zero skills are needed to participate in this event. Just out of the box thinking and Googling skills will help you most of the times. | 2019-04-26T01:52:30Z | https://www.pragyan.org/19/home/events/phronesis/labyrinth/ |
During the summer of 1996, students from the Renfrew area digitized over 50,000 pages of Attestation papers at the Library and Archives Canada building in Renfrew, ON, as a tribute to the many residents from the town of Renfrew who enlisted in the Canadian Expeditionary Force. Many lost their lives during the war.
This project was part of the SchoolNet Digital Collections Program supported by Industry Canada and the Library and Archives Canada and included both the Attestation papers of the soldiers and — in many cases their full military file.
To check the list of soldiers included, visit the CEF site at Library and Archives Canada. | 2019-04-18T18:54:03Z | https://ottawafamilytree.net/tag/canadian-expeditionary-forces/ |
Anxiety has continue to mount over the safety of Leah Sharibu the only remaining Dapchi girl abducted by Boko Haram.
Her father Nathaniel Sharibu couldn’t confirm his daughter's state as he alleged that he was barred from talking to the press.
Also, an attempt to speak with the mother, Mrs. Rebecca Sharibu, was not successful.
Meanwhile, Emmanuel Ogebe, lawyer of the U.S. Nigeria Law Group, in a mail said : “I wish to clarify that there is no updated status report on the welfare of Leah Sharibu.
“The Federal Government has not spoken about Leah’s return this year at all, despite its promises 10 months ago that she would also be released. We hope this is not another failed promise of this government.
He said fellow activists in the United Kingdom (UK) were bracing for a global call to action to commemorate Leah’s one year in captivity should the FGN fail to produce her by then.
Solidarity actions for Leah are being planned in major United States of America cities of Baltimore, Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Atlanta, Houston, Washington DC, Boston and Dallas , amongst others for Sunday February 17, 2019.
Those interested should go to the IamLeah Facebook page for more details. | 2019-04-22T02:00:44Z | https://www.cknnigeria.com/2019/02/anxiety-mounts-over-safety-of-dapchi.html |

Known by many as the 'Historic Puriri' although no historic references can be located. It may be that the purported age of the tree is why it is considered 'historic'. In 1913 the Englishman Sir H. Rider Haggard is reported to have speculated that the tree was 2,000 years old although his experience with New Zealand trees must have been limited.
The tree was celebrated on page 148 in the Burstall & Sale book "Great Trees of New Zealand. The source of much of the trees current decay appears to have been recorded in the 1984 photos. An old burl looks to have been subsequently cut off and several flush cuts can now be seen where there are cavities that have coalesced into a central column of decay. Burstall noted that 'a feature of this fine tree is it's "gun-barrel" trunk, clean to 10.4 m after tree surgery several years ago.' (Cadwallader, B.G. 2011).

We love the reference to PartySaurus Rex in the game.
A few weeks ago we reviewed the amazing Mosnters, Inc. Run game from Disney Mobile Games and today they released a new game called Toy Story: Smash It!, available for download on Android and iOS. In Toy Story: Smash It! you play as the confident space crusader, Buzz Lightyear and your mission is to knock down structures that the little green aliens have built. The structures come crumbling down as you throw various balls (a la dodgeball) throughout a series of more than 60 levels. Be sure to watch our video below to get a better look at the game and then head to Google Play or iTunes to purchase and play, Toy Story: Smash It!.
In addition to the new Toy Story game, last week, the Monsters, Inc. Run game was updated with more levels - this time you play in a desert canyon (video update below). The levels are a bit harder but the reward is also increased with more coins and gadgets throughout the levels. Be sure to upgrade your app if you already own this great game or purchase it on iTunes. If you missed it, be sure to also check out our initial review of the Monsters, Inc. Run game here. | 2019-04-22T22:14:17Z | https://www.pixarpost.com/2013/02/toy-story-smash-it-game-and-new-levels.html |

With standard backlinks in years gone by Quantity (web 2.0 profiles + blog comments etc...) used to seem to be as important as Quality. This has obviously changed allot over the past 3 or 4 years with a much larger emphasis on Quality.
With NAP / Citation building what is the current consensus on Quantity vs Quality ? I was recently looking at some citation building services and they where saying they have over 1000 sites they submit to. Is this relevant or do you just need the core 10 sites (google local, facebook local, Yelp, Foursquare etc..) plus any industry / niche specific sites ?
I think what you do with citations depends on where the business stands as far as NAP changes over time. The more times you change addresses/phone numbers, the more citation work you'll need to do in order to get the information more consistent across the web.
For companies that boast having 1000's of citation sources... most of those will be irrelevant. Don't go for volume for pure sake of volume. Make sure the sites that users actually use to get data are correct, and make sure you're cleaning up duplicates or wrong data.
Consistency & authority of the source is more important that sheer number of citations.
Completely agreed with Eric here.
Claim your data-aggregators and any place where direct customer contact can happen (like Yelp) and 99% of the time everything else will take care of itself eventually.
Continually building citations is a waste of time, mostly because diminishing returns hit fast.
1. Complete and verify your NAP on Acxiom, Localeze, Infogroup.
2. Claim, verify and enhance your Google local isting/s, the one on Bing, and Apple Maps.
3. Go over your business profiles on Facebook, Twitter.
4. Claim and verify your listings on Yelp, YellowPages and on those directories, which require phone verification.
Then perform a quick audit (you can use some of the free online tools out there). If you use a predefined list of relevant directories, make sure to go down the list in descending order in terms of source quality.
There are a lot of lists of directories out there. Most of the 3rd party directories are regularly crawled by search engines.
Local Business directories (especially the ones that are spam free) should be in your radar to get your business listed.
Industry-specific directories are also of great value for your local business, so don’t omit them.
As it comes to your question regarding quality vs quantity: it usually depends on the location and the specific niche that the business specializes in.
If you’re hardly facing any competition and you operate in a small city, then submitting your business to the key ten directories should do the trick and give you the competitive edge you need to rank in the local pack.
In other words, all factors being equal (which is hardly ever the case, but if we image it for a moment), a business with more and also relevant citations is going to appear higher in the search engine results as compared to a business with fewer citations.
For companies (such as WhiteSpark, BrightLocal) that have compiled lists of more than 1000 sources, it is important to keep into account that all of those sources are not meant to be used on a single business but rather are the total number of directories for different niches, locations, etc. Of those 1000 a business could get up to 100-120 relevant citations in total at best. | 2019-04-19T20:24:14Z | https://www.localsearchforum.com/threads/thoughts-on-nap-citation-building-quantity-vs-quality.52444/ |

How to speed up the search for new worlds? Gamify it!
One of the biggest challenges for any “citizen science” project, not surprisingly, is getting people to participate. A 2015 study of Zooniverse, a site that offers ordinary folks the chance to help with data-rich research projects ranging from moon hunting to snow-spotting, showed that the top 10 percent of contributors supplied (on average) 79 percent of the contributions. And fewer than one-third of people who sign up for a project return a second time.
A new exoplanet-seeking project will seek to overcome this problem by tapping into one of the more addictive leisure activities around: gaming. A 2014 Nielsen study shows that the average gamer played for more than six hours a week.
The new partnership is between a multiplayer game called EVE Online and scientists using data from the CoRoT (COnvection ROtation and planetary Transits) satellite, which searched for the signatures of exoplanets and studied the seismology of stars from 2007 to 2013. While this is not the first citizen science project related to extrasolar planets—Planet Hunters, Exoplanet Explorers and Disk Detective have been online for years—the CoRoT search is likely the first to team up with an existing multiplayer game.
“Most of the planets have been extracted from [the CoRoT data], but not all,” said Michel Mayor, a professor emeritus at the University of Geneva who co-discovered the first exoplanet orbiting a sun-like star, 51 Pegasi, in 1995. Mayor, who is advising the EVE Online and scientific teams building the exoplanet search tool, gave a presentation on the initiative at the recent EVE Fanfest in Iceland.
The inspiration for the partnership came from Foldit, an online video game where gamers make predictions concerning protein folding. In 2011, gamers decoded the structure of an AIDS-related enzyme called Mason-Pfizer monkey virus (M-PMV) retroviral protease, solving a problem that had baffled the scientific community for 15 years.
EVE Online already has a community of gamers that presumably are interested in space, given that its action takes place in a universe where space exploration, mining and combat are common. The mini CoRoT game will give players something to do when jumping between space stations, which can take several minutes to load. They will be given data and asked to classify them according to criteria yet to be established. The CoRoT module is expected to be released this spring.
Mayor said it’s unknown how many people will end up playing the mini-game, or whether they’ll be willing to participate with no guarantee of success. As of May 2013, the EVE service had 500,000 subscriptions, but there are some indications of a drop in subscriptions between then and 2015.
Mayor said it will take perhaps a dozen or more independent detections of a potential “planet” before scientists would take the time to check the raw data to see if it was a positive match. If a claimed planet does turn out to be real, there will be some way of acknowledging the gamers’ contributions in any published scientific paper, he said.
The aim is to include Kepler data in the EVE Online catalog as well. Other participants in the project include Massively Multiplayer Online Science (MMOS), the University of Reykjavik and the University of Geneva.

Well, try as we all might, we just can't shake Brett Favre. First, it's "Streak over!" Now, it's "Will he play this week?"
Like everything else Favre-related, I see it in fairly simple terms: If he is pushing to play out of ego-gratification, it's a mistake. If he is actually healthy enough to play -- and not just play, but play better than the next-best alternative, Tavaris Jackson -- then he should play.
CFB: Will Muschamp intro'ed as Florida head coach. He is dynamic. He is no-nonsense. And he is going to run a pro-style offense, rather than the spread. I'm not sure how I feel about that. I appreciate that Alabama's pro-style -- which Muschamp is obviously modeling -- was fairly effective, particularly against Florida. But I still think that the evolution of strategy favors the spread as a clearly optimized offense (see Oregon, Auburn).

But I kind of love that they do it; it is unique in college football, and in a way, the equivalent of Facebook to, say, Penn State's Saturday Evening Post. I am a sucker for highlighter green, btw.
I also love the highlighter yellow. Good stuff.
Spread vs. Pro-style: Interesting debate. QBs from Spread-style O's generally dont fare well in the NFL. So your recruiting strategy is either: 1) Play in an offense where you'll be the great in college. OR 2) Play in an offense where you'll succeed int he NFL.
