{"text": "Steinberg’s new release Cubase 6.5 had made me quite anxious until yesterday when I finally had an opportunity to check all its new features. The overall expression it left on me is that Cubase 6.5 is full of updated features. Its user-friendly interface blends wonderfully with its inspiring instruments, effects and great editing tools. So now we can go down to more detailed description:\nBasically there are two new synths in Cubase 6.5: Retrologue and Padshop. Retrologue is more like a vintage analogue synth. You can get rich old-school sound. You will fall in love with Retrologue if you like funky style and come to recording funky bass and leadsounds. Retrologue comes with a library of 300 presets, so most likely you will be able to find just the right sound for your funky track in Retrologue’s preset library.\nPadshop as its title hints is a wonderful source of pads. I could not manage to try out all of its presets which are 400 totally, however I still could manage to try out some of its out of this world atmosphere sound. This synth has built-in effects that are very convenient to use and that can help you create completely unique sound, completely unique pads.\nUnfortunately I did not have enough time to test MorphFilter’s abilities fully. However one thing is clear: Steinberg tried its best to create superior filter types of HALion 4. I think I’ll be using more of MorpFilter soon.\nI just can not ignore the new way of warping offered by Cubase 6.5. The hitpoints are fused and warp quantizing is directly embeded into the Quantizing Panel which is specially dedicated for this use. The result of this is that entire arrangments just like single audio loopsneed just a mouse click for quantizing – like MIDI parts. .. and yes! your audio events are warped not – sliced which means that they followautomatically any global pitch or tempo changes of your project. This makes arrangements quite easy since audio events remain uncluttered.\nWhat is more, Cubase 6.5 is the first version of Cubase to offer an interface in Simplified Chinese!\n10 comments:\nthis one is a good software but you need to see this one for sure!!\nYour blogs and every other content is so entertaining and useful It makes me come back again.\nI see the superlative contents on your blogs and I perfectly enjoy going through them.\npay per head service\nI'm planar by your table make up the superior production.free tutorial\nGreat job you people are doing with this website.\nmastering service\nThumbs up guys your doing a really good job.\nI'll download one of these software, thank you guys for providing these treasure, many thanks. mastering services VA\nYour site is excellent.

{"text": "(ABP) — “You know of all the weddings we’ve attended this year, statistically, at least one will end in divorce.” It was an odd thing for my fiancé to lean over and tell me as we watch one of my college roommates walk down the aisle of a Methodist Church. It kills the mood to bring up divorce at a wedding. It is even more disheartening for my fiancé to bring it up. What does that even mean?\nShe is correct, however. I have reached the age where everyone decides to tie the knot. In the past two years, I will have attended nine weddings before I say “I do” at the end of this year. If the national average applies, four of those marriages will end in divorce.\nThe rising divorce rate has been an issue for years. Since the institution of no-fault divorce in the 1970s, the rate has steadily risen. Television and film is littered with plots surrounding infidelity and divorce. Billboards flash with advertisements for cheap, uncontested divorces.\nIs anything being done to stem the tide of divorce? Better preparation is part of the answer.\nPlanning a wedding is stressful. An engaged couple must choose a venue, hire an officiant, try-out a DJ, select a photographer, purchase flowers, sample the cake, taste the food, try-on a tuxedo, discover THE dress, find a place to live, send the invitations, and then what? Oh — get married!\nYou prepare in a myriad of ways but miss the one that counts. How do you prepare to live with one another after you say, “I do?”\nPre-marital counseling is a nuisance to the majority of couples planning a wedding. It involves a time commitment when time is precious. Many couples only tolerate the work in order to receive the precious $40 discount on their marriage license.\nBaptist churches vary in counseling requirements and methods. Some ministers will not perform the ceremony unless the couple has participated in counseling either with the pastor or a couple in the congregation. This type of counseling can range from a one-time 30-minute meeting to several sessions. More ministers are offering the PREPARE/ENRICH program as another option. It involves an online survey followed by a meeting with a trained facilitator, usually a minister. The amount of time and quality of counseling couples experience varies greatly.\nOther ministers follow a Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy. The state of the couples’ relationship is inconsequential. To these ministers, counseling is not their concern. If the couple wishes to be counseled, they can find it elsewhere. Couples who do not wish to follow the rules of the stricter Baptist ministers gladly turn to these lax ministers to perform their ceremony.\nIs this how we should prepare young people for marriage?\nI will be getting married in the Catholic Church. As a part of preparation for our nuptials we must answer questions about ourselves, our families and our relationship in a 200-page booklet. All couples who wish to marry in the Catholic Church complete this booklet.\nThe topics discussed range from great, soul searching questions about the worst moment from our childhoods to specifics about who will do the dishes on the third Thursday of each month. No topic seems uncovered.\nDuring the week, my fiancé and I answer our questions separately. We go over our answers together prior to meeting with an older couple from the congregation to discuss the revelations we gain from our laborious work. If there is a topic we’d like to discuss further like different family traditions, we do so. If the couple perceives the development of a potential pitfall based on one of our answers, they ask more probing questions to caution and prepare us. By the end of the process, we will have spent six to seven hours a week for five weeks working and talking about our relationship and preparing for our marriage.\nI am not implying that the Catholic Church has it all figured out. But I know far too many Baptist marriages that are crumbling or have ended too soon after they said, “I do.”\nBaptist ministers need to reevaluate their definition of pre-marital counseling and the priority they place upon it. A couple who does not want counseling should not be able to go down the street and find another minister who will not challenge them. I am grateful for the importance the Catholic Church places upon pre-marital counseling and how it has strengthened my relationship. I wish more Baptist ministers and couples had the foresight to use the valuable resources available.\nWilliam Roberts is a master-of-divinity student at McAfee School of Theology in Atlanta, and is an assistant archivist with the American Baptist Historical Society. This guest commentary was originally written as an exercise for a seminary class in writing for ministry."}

{"text": "SEATTLE (AP) — A judge on Monday set a $1.2 million bail for the man accused of driving a Jaguar on to a closed Seattle freeway and hitting two protesters, killing one and seriously injuring the other.\nDawit Kelete, who is Black, drove the car around vehicles that were parked on Interstate 5 to protect a group of Black Femme March demonstrators, part of the Black Lives Matter movement protesting racial inequality and police violence. The car hit two people and sped away about 1:40 a.m. Saturday, police said.\nOver the weekend, a judge found probable cause to hold Kelete on an investigation of vehicular assault.\nBut the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office has yet to file charges against Kelete. It says it’s waiting for additional required information from the State Patrol.\n“A charging decision is expected by Wednesday afternoon,” spokesman Casey McNerthney said.\nKelete’s lawyer, John Henry Browne, said the crash was a “horrible, horrible accident” and was not intentional.\n“There’s absolutely nothing political about this case whatsoever,” Browne told The Associated Press. “My client is in tears. He’s very remorseful. He feels tremendous guilt.”\nKelete is originally from Eritrea and is a U.S. citizen, Browne said. He lives with his family in Seattle, and they’re very religious, he said.\nKelete toward two people still in the road. The car slid sideways as it hit the two protesters, sending them into the air. The driver turned on his flashers just after agreed to take a field sobriety test for drugs and alcohol. The tests showed he was not impaired, the state patrol said.\n“The driver was reserved and appeared sullen throughout his time in custody,” Trooper James McGuire wrote in the arrest report. “At one point he asked if the injured pedestrians were okay.”\nKelete, 27, was booked into the King County Correctional Facility on Saturday morning on two counts of vehicular assault..\nThe state patrol had closed a section of I-5 for 19 days in a row because of the protesters, troopers said. It had been closed to traffic for more than an hour before the crash.\nThe state patrol said going forward it won’t allow protesters to enter I-5 and would arrest pedestrians on the freeway."}

Since the investigation began, Inyo District Attorney Art Maillet explained that the amount snowballed.\nThe probation department has set restitution for money stolen from the Indian Education Center at $250,000 and there is another reserved claim on a federal fund for needy children of $590,957.22. The amount owed is still a matter of dispute, according to the DAs office, but the four may have taken even more than this large amount. Maillet says that the four may also have used the Education Center gas credit cards inappropriately as well.\nGary Donnelly was sentenced to 365 days in jail. Mary Donnelly was sentenced to 120 days, as was Mary Jefferson. Sarah Jefferson received 90 days in the county jail.

Rather, it had the abilities as well as methods generally related to innovative relentless risks (APTs).”\nAPT34, likewise called OilRig, Helix Kittycat, as well as Cobalt Gypsy, is understood to be energetic given that at the very least 2014 as well as has a record of striking telecommunications, federal government, protection, oil, as well as monetary industries in the center East as well as North Africa (MENA) through targeted phishing strikes.\nPreviously this February, ESET connected the team to a long-running knowledge collect procedure targeted at polite companies, innovation business, as well as clinical companies in Israel, Tunisia, as well as the United Arab Emirates.\nThe recently observed phishing message has a weaponized Microsoft Excel paper, opening up which motivates a possible sufferer to allow macros, resulting in the implementation of a destructive Visual Basic Application (VBA) macro that goes down the malware haul (” update.exe”).\nIn addition, the macro cares for developing determination for the dental implant by including an arranged job that duplicates every 4 hrs.\nA.NET-based binary, Saitama leverages the DNS procedure for its command-and-control (C2) interactions as component of an initiative to camouflage its web traffic, while utilizing a “finite-state machine” method to implementing commands obtained from a C2 web server.\n” Ultimately, this essentially indicates that this malware is getting jobs inside a DNS reaction,” Gutierrez discussed. DNS tunneling, as it’s called, makes it feasible to inscribe the information of various other programs or methods in DNS inquiries as well as actions.\nIn the last, the outcomes of the command implementation are ultimately returned to the C2 web server, with the exfiltrated information constructed right into a DNS demand.\n” With the quantity of job took into establishing this malware, it does not seem the kind to perform when and after that remove itself, like various other sneaky infostealers,” Gutierrez stated.\n” Probably to prevent setting off any kind of behavior discoveries, this malware likewise does not produce any kind of determination techniques. Rather, it counts on the Excel macro to produce determination using an arranged job.”"}

{"text": "Birks – Mankiw Chapter 33: Aggregate Demand and Aggregate Supply\nMankiw, N. G. (2015) Principles of economics (7th ed.) Ch.33\nPrinciples of macroeconomics (7th ed.) Ch.20\nMason, OH: South-Western Cengage Learning\nAggregate Demand and Aggregate Supply\nWhen reading the chapter, here are some aspects to consider:\n1. So far Mankiw has been looking at the economy in the long run. This chapter takes a short run perspective considering “short-run deviations from long-run trends”. There is a particular framing in this, suggesting that the long run and the short run can be considered separately. An alternative view would be to consider short-run events as having an impact on outcomes in the long run, as might occur with “path-dependence”. Mankiw’s Figure 1(a) seems more like a disrupted growth path, with an upward climb interrupted by periods of slowdown in the recessions. These come across as rightward shifts in the curve, or a series of “steps”, rather than deviations around a trend line. There can be lost investment and disrupted employment patterns in a recession, and these have implications for future potential GDP.\n2. Recessions are defined in NZ (and elsewhere, including the UK) as two successive quarters of negative GDP growth. The US relies on decisions by the Business Cycle Dating Committee of the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER). Depressions are severe recessions, one rule of thumb being a decline in GDP of at least 10%.\n3. For the shape of the Aggregate Demand Curve, note the components – these are standard. In Mankiw’s simplified representation, there is a separate effect for each of variables C, I and NX. This makes the analysis easy, but may be oversimplified. Note that G is exogenous, or determined outside the system. Variables whose values are set within the specified system (or model), are referred to as endogenous.\n4. At all points on the AD curve, Y = C + I + G + NX\nAs the components on the right are summed to give the final curve, we could consider them as individual curves giving the amount of each as the price level varies. Adding them up is a similar process to the horizontal summation of individual demand curves to construct i) a market demand curve, or ii) private plus public saving to get a savings curve, or iii) domestic investment (I) plus NCO to get a demand for loanable funds curve (as in Chapter 32). Mankiw then discusses the determinants of each of these components. First, he considers how they each relate to the price level, with this operating through a different mechanism for each of C, I and NX:\n- C is a function of the price level via the wealth effect.\n- I is a function of the price level indirectly via the effect of price level on the interest rate\n- NX is a function of the price level indirectly via the effect of price level on the interest rate and subsequently on the exchange rate.\nThese are assumptions in his model and may bear little similarity to the real world. For each of these relationships, a lower price level is assumed to result in higher expenditure.\nG is assumed to be exogenous (determined outside the model), and so does not vary as the price level changes. This means that G would be a vertical line. We can plot these as follows, just using C and G to illustrate:\n5. Mankiw gives an ad hoc explanation of the Aggregate Demand Curve. A more involved alternative is to use the Keynesian Cross model (discussed in points 7 and 8 of this commentary to Chapter 26). This model considers the determination of an equilibrium income at some specified price level. (Note that, in that model, the 45-degree diagram gives the level of expenditure on the vertical axis and income on the horizontal axis. Consequently the components of expenditure are summed vertically and government expenditure, being independent of income, is a horizontal line.) We can find the equilibrium in that model for different price levels, thus getting a series of points on the AD curve. In other words, the AD curve can be thought of as showing the relationship between equilibrium GDP and the price level (as determined by the Keynesian cross model). Changes in variables in the model other than the price level can then result in shifts of the curve. Derived in this way, it is clear that the AD curve is not equivalent to a microeconomic demand curve.\n6. Mankiw’s derivation of the long-run Aggregate Supply Curve now gives a graphical representation of the assumption made for the textbook material up to now, namely that the economy is at long-run full employment and the at “natural rate of output”. He then gives an explanation as to why the relationship may be different in the short run.\n7. Note the general idea of a variable, Y, being a function of several other variables (and identify what these are where necessary). Then recall the standard relationship with a graph of say Y against X. Changes in X can result in a movement along the curve, whereas changes in any of the other variables can result in shifts of the curve.\n8. A final word of warning. The AD-AS model is not a demand and supply model such as Mankiw’s Chapter 4. AD can be seen as plotting a series of equilibria in one part of the economy (income and expenditure). The AS curve plots a series of equilibria in another part (production decisions). Where they meet, both parts are in equilibrium, so there is no incentive for participants in either part to change their behaviour. There may still be disequilibrium elsewhere, such as in labour or financial markets. Changes there may then impact on AD and/or AS. In other words, we can gradually build up a more complex structure, bringing more variables into the overall model, changing them from exogenous to endogenous.\nCommentary by Stuart Birks, 5 September 2014"}

{"text": "Cesc Fàbregas has already stopped history repeating itself in one sense, merely by winning his race to be fit for Arsenal FC's last-16 second-leg showdown with FC Barcelona. Unlike last term, when Arsenal's Catalan captain missed out on these clubs' quarter-final return with the cracked fibula he had suffered in the first leg, Fàbregas will step out at the Camp Nou on Tuesday after recovering from a hamstring problem.\nThe goal now is to stop a repeat of history in the larger sense – by reversing Arsenal's UEFA Champions League exit in Spain last April – on what the 23-year-old admits will be a \"special\" night. Fàbregas, if anybody needed reminding, began his career in Barcelona's La Masia academy and has been repeatedly linked in the media with a return one day to the club.\n\"Obviously, I am very happy to be back here; it's a special match. However, I have to be professional and give my best for my team,\" said Fàbregas, who sat out Arsenal's English League Cup final loss to Birmingham City FC on 27 February as well as Saturday's Premier League home draw with Sunderland AFC. \"I was worried during the last fortnight thinking I couldn't make it but I am OK now. I haven't pushed myself – the team is very important to me so I wouldn't risk my health; that wouldn't be professional on my part.\"\nArsenal produced a stirring late fightback to win the first leg 2-1 on 16 February and Fàbregas believes they can now finish the job against Josep Guardiola's much-lauded Spanish champions. \"We have the character and potential and we want to win trophies for the club. Everyone will want to show how good we are and it's a fantastic opportunity to win the game.\" And whatever his feelings for his alma mater, he insists his focus is purely on a victory for the Londoners. \"\nI want to win for Arsenal. There's nothing extra in my head because it's Barcelona,\" said Fàbregas.\nBut how to beat Barcelona? \"Well, we know you can't give Lionel Messi space, he scored four goals last season,\" the Spain midfielder said. \"We showed what we had to do in the first leg, but we can't forget we have to play our own game. We are Arsenal and we have to make them respect us.\"\nFàbregas went on to cite Messi's key intervention last term, when the Argentinian international cancelled out Nicklas Bendtner's opener within 120 seconds – the first of his four goals that night. \"I think there were key moments last season, like when they scored so soon after us,\" he said. \"If they hadn't they might have got nervous. Leo Messi made the difference. We have to be ready for everything. We're not used to [our opponents having the ball], but we have to be intelligent and mature enough to know what they can do and stick to our football.\""}

{"text": "Poker FaceSince it's Eli's birthday this week, I'm having more stories about him than usual.\nEli 8.11 learned how to play poker while he was in Shreveport with his mom a few weeks ago. Then, while he was channel surfing one night (channel surfing for him is Disney XD, Nickelodeon, ESPN, and the NHL Network, basically), he found one of the World Series Of Poker shows, and he was instantly hooked. Now, we play Texas Hold 'Em every night for at least thirty minutes.\nLast night, he came to me and said, \"Dad, let's play OFFICIAL poker tonight, just like on television.\" I said that would be great, and when he came to the table, he looked like this:\nHis game needs some work, but I think he's already got the look down pat.\nHe also has a favorite joke, one that he never gets tired of telling. \"Dad, there are two muffins in an oven,\" he says. \"The first muffin says to the second muffin, 'It's getting hot in here.' The second muffin looks at the first muffin and says, 'OH MY GOD--A TALKING MUFFIN!' \"\nThe first time he told it to me, he said, \"See, it's FUNNY because the second muffin is ALSO talking.\""}

To tell a dirt poor married couple that it is a sin to use contraceptives and to criticize them for responsibly choosing to not have children is exceedingly cruel. As if having children necessarily combats loneliness in your latter years. Sounds like the pope needs a lesson in logic!\nJess\nHeadline: “Pope decides what another of your most personal choices should be.” This is news?\nlarry\nOne of the comments was very interesting.

{"text": "Adder Rock Camping Ground.\nSpent many years coming to this camping ground from 1973, many changes have occured there since then. Still a beautiful place, great access to the beach. Unfortunately the camping ground is now not free camping but very much your usual 6m X 6m space. Can get very crowded in peak periods, uncomfortably so. Amenities are very good including coin operated hot showers and laundry.\nWe were there in January this year for two weeks and even though it was busy we never waited for a shower, and the water was always hot. Watch out if it rains though, the drainage is sub-standard to the point where, as many sites are low-lying, quite a number of sites were 2ft underwater after a downpour. Love Straddie and Adder Rock, a great place to holiday."}

{"text": "Luke 23:43 Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with Me in paradise.”\nMy message is from Luke 23:33 and 39-43 which reads: Jesus is hung between two criminals- one on the left and one on the right. When they came to the place called the Skull, they crucified him there, along with the criminals—one on his right, the other on his.” And he was saying, “Jesus, remember me when You come in Your kingdom!” And Jesus answered him, “Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise.”\nLet me open with 3 questions:\n1. How will Jesus remember you?\n2. Will you find yourself on the left or the right side of the Cross?\n3. Will you be with Him on that day in Paradise?\nThe trial: These two were not just thieves but they were hardened criminals… they had to be because death by crucifixion was reserve for the most vile, abominably heinous and lowest class of criminals. To die on the cross was the most disgraceful, shameful and humiliating way to be put to death. And they had been tried and they were both found to be guilty of rebellion, murder, and stealing. John 10:10 says: The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy…\nRoad to Calvary: Now as these two were being led with the Lord to Calvary, they reviled and hated Him casting insults and abuses toward Him. I’m most certain they had heard about Jesus’ many works and His miraculous ministry… and while they were being led with Him to Calvary both of them hated the sight of this sad humiliated Jesus. He certainly wasn’t the Jesus they’d heard about. What they saw was a weak, contemptible, disgraced, degraded and defeated joke of a Messiah. They had nothing but disgust and disdain in their hearts for the One who was about to die in their place and pay the price for their crimes. Mark 15:32 ~ those who were crucified with Him were also insulting Him.\nCrucified: Now having been crucified on Golgotha with the Lord, both criminals had witnessed the Lord’s demeanor and heard as He cried to His Father to forgive His abusers. The thief on the left immediately started up again with his ranting and railing. Now he was not mocking Jesus nor did he hurl joking insults as many of us have come to believe. HE WAS ANGRY! He was desperately thinking of how to save his own skin. Perceiving Jesus to be useless to his plight he lashed out at Him with hatred and contempt. Certainly Jesus had miraculously saved others and he felt entitled to a miracle too. Can’t you just hear him? “Aren’t you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!” That anger turned to bitterness, blinding rage and resentment. I’m sure when He realized that Jesus was not going to call down fire from heaven to consume the Roman soldiers or even the High Priest who knowing the wonders the Lord has done still stood mocking and jeering at Jesus with jealous indignation. The criminal on the left had even more hatred for what he perceived as weakness. At this point he’d also come to realize that he himself would not be spared the death sentence he’d received on the cross… oh how he cursed the Lord. From his mouth flowed every filthy insult. James 3:6 says: And the tongue is a fire… and sets on fire the course of our life, and is set on fire by hell. So the result of anger turned to bitterness is a rage that is so blinding we find ourselves in a state of self-interest, unable to see or even acknowledge our faults and we are unable to see a Savior with His arms outstretch waiting for us to call unto Him. The Bible teaches us that He saves all who call on His Name. This sinner …this criminal could not see his faults he was focused on finding fault in the One who is Faultless and without sin.\nNow on the right as the painful agony began to set in and as the tormenting time passed by, the thief on His right began to reflect on his sinful life and hopeless future. He considered the regal and noble demeanor of Jesus as he bore the great suffering and humiliation of the cross, recognizing that Jesus was not begging God or anyone to have mercy on His soul nor did He have need to ask in any way to be forgiven of anything. This man Jesus was praying for and asking that His captors and abusers be forgiven. There was a growing conviction in the thief’s mind that perhaps this was more than an ordinary man who was hanging a few feet away. . He was humbled and that instant this criminal was able to see and acknowledge his own guilt. His heart was changed… it became contrite, remorseful and repentant. He realized that there was nothing he could do to justify his crimes… but he rebuked his counterpart and justified and defended Jesus’ innocence. Judging from the words he used we can assume that wisdom from God had finally crowned his head. This is his rebuke to the other thief, “DON’T YOU FEAR GOD? Are you thinking like me? Proverbs 9:10?? The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One, is understanding. The thief on the Lord’s right side had at once been given wisdom and insight by the Holy Spirit. And he was saying, “Jesus, remember me when You come in Your kingdom!” And Jesus answered him, “Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise.” The Lord snatched him from the fire and freed him from the enemy’s restraints! That very day that man found himself with his Savior in the beauty of Paradise.\n2nd Scenario Fast Forward to 2015: The Gospel of Christ is being preached as Jesus is lifted up between two criminals- one on the left and one on the right. This very scene is played out every day in societies around the world, as we react to the preaching of the Gospel of Christ. The message of the Cross still moves those on the left side to make of a mockery of the thought of the gift salvation that Jesus offers by His death on that Cross. In fact today there are those who claim it to be a fairytale and nonsense. They are criminal thieves who rebel and seek to destroy the Truth of the Cross. And even as it was on Calvary with the chief priest… today there are leaders who are the criminal thieves that Jesus warns about in John 10:1-10 Jesus describes these apostates as the thieves of souls; who weigh down the church with baseless rules and rituals set up to be a way to God. They feed the flock with things of no inward or eternal value. These renegades elevate themselves for no other purpose than to make the sheep their own, not to give them pasture. They sacrifice the sheep for their selfish intentions and use them to serve their own interest. They never deal graciously for the benefit of the sheep. They destroy the congregations in their pursuit of selfish desire. They do not recognize the true Door into the sheepfold; they close up the way of life in order to exalt their own agenda and to secure their own position.\nWe can’t recognize the light when self-centered bitterness or ambition keeps us in the dark. We can’t see past what we feel entitled to. Service to others becomes empty action void of Love and filled with discontented grumbling. The bitter heart has a constant complaint and contrary nature, it asks, “If you are the God who loves me, why do you allow me to suffer? Why am I not being blessed? Why don’t I have a better this or a bigger that?” The bitter heart does not praise God, because it is selfish because it is never satisfied.\nThere are those today standing on the right side of the Lord. They have repented and called on the name of the Lord. Romans 10:13 says: “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. The repentant heart has eyes that see the error of its ways and ears that hear only the voice of the Good Shepherd and follow. Contriteness of spirit brings enlightenment to see ourselves with veracity causing us to recognize the wretchedness of our sins. We will confess our guilt and our need for a savior. The wisdom and understanding to recognize Jesus’ goodness and our unworthy nature will cause our hearts to cry, “Lord, remember me.” The enlightened soul says, “I don’t know why You came to Love me so. I don’t deserve Your Mercy. Thank You Lord. You’ve looked beyond my faults to meet my needs.” The grateful heart worships and praises God. God will remain ever near to such a believer, because we know that our God inhabits our praises. He is even enthroned upon them. We are certain that He remembers us and has a place prepared for us, so on the day when we are absent from this body we will be with Him that very day in Paradise.\nThe final scenario can be found in Matthew 25:33-45 Jesus will be seated on His Throne of Glory and it reads:.”\nAugustine described that moment on Calvary with these words,” This cross, if you mark it well, was a judgment-seat. For the Judge being placed in the midst, the one who believed was set free; the other who reviled him was condemned; and thus he signified what he will do with the quick and the dead. Some he will place on his right hand and some on his left”\nAgain I leave you in closing with three questions:\n-As we cry out Lord remember me… what will Jesus remember about us?\n-When His Kingdom comes will we find ourselves separated to His left or to His right?\n-When we are absent from this body, will we be with Him that on that day in Paradise?"}

Of these 54,687 were non-Albanians and of the latter there were 49,307 of Greek nationality.16 A comparison of the results of these three census would indicate that the Greek minority in Albania in 1989 was 2.2 times greater than that of 1945 and 19.2% greater than that of 1979. This increase of the Greek minority is close to the increase in the overall population: 2.8 times versus the 1945 census and 22.8% more than the 1979 census. If we use the rate of increase of the overall population of Albania and apply it to the Greek minority we obtain the following table.17 * The Greek minority as a result of the 1989 census 58,758 * The Greek minority growing at the rate of 22.8% from 1979 to 1989. Thus, 49,307 x 1.228 = 60,549 * The Greek minority growing at the rate of 2.8 times from 1945 to 1989. Thus, 26,535 x 2.8 - 74,298 One explanation for the differences is the relatively low rate of natural reproduction of the population which characterizes the lands along the southern border of Albania such as the areas of Zagorija, Lunxherija, Rreza e Permetit, Bregu i detit Jon, etc. This seems to be true for ethnic Greeks and Albanian nationals. This condition is a far reaching consequence of the emigration from these areas prior to 1945- Another explanation is the traditional proclivity of the people in these areas to have fewer children. Another factor contributing to the lower rate of increase in the Greek minority is the internal movement of the ethnic Greeks. The women who marry non-Greeks outside the minority areas often give up their Greek nationality. The same thing can be said about the ethnic Greeks, especially those with university training, who would be employed outside their villages. In particular, those working in large cities like Tirana very often would not declare their Greek nationality. The results of the 1989 census shed light also on the geographical distribution of the Greek minority in Albania. (See Table I). Continue next page 1994 - Vol. XV 89"}

{"text": "Global Warm Air Heaters Market: Overview\n\"The Warm Air Heaters Market size is expected to be worth around US$ xx Billion by 2021 from US$ X.xx million in 2031, growing at a CAGR of X.x% during the forecast period 2021 to 2031.\"\nWarm air heating is known as warm air central heating, which converts cool air into warm air. Warm air heaters offer flexible, efficient, and cost-effective gas-fired solutions for residential and non-residential buildings. The warm air heater is used in buildings where heating systems which use boilers or radiators are not suitable.\nRising construction activities, growing need for efficient heating equipment, and increasing use of warm air heaters in residential and non-residential buildings in developing and developed countries are some major factors expected to drive revenue growth of the global warm air heaters market. Furthermore, building energy management systems (BEMS) to lower energy consumption and improve productivity is expected to drive revenue growth in the target market. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has established some principles for building designs, which directly influence the growth of the global market.\nThe latest trend observed in the target market is growing concerns regarding the environment, carbon emissions, energy efficiency, and energy consumption encouraging major players to invest in the warm air heaters. In addition, increasing research and development activities related to designing heaters with improved thermal performance is expected to create potential revenue opportunities for players operating in the target market in the upcoming period.\nMoreover, the government introduced legislation regarding carbon emissions and fuel efficiency, such as replacing conventional vehicles with electric ones. This encourages consumers to use smart meters for energy consumption and saving. However, available alternatives, high initial cost, and complex manufacturing methods are some factors that are expected to hamper the growth of the global market over the forecast period.\nGlobal Warm Air Heaters Market: Segment Analysis\nAmong the product type segments, the fired heaters segment is projected to account for higher revenue shares in the global market.\nAmong the application segments, the industrial process segment is expected to account major revenue share in the global market and is projected to maintain its dominance over the forecast period.\nGlobal Warm Air Heaters Market: Region Analysis\nAmong the regions, the market in North America is estimated to account for a major share in terms of revenue in the global market, owing to the high demand for warm air heaters in the region. In addition, a cold climate for a long duration, which rises demand for heaters, ongoing advancements in heaters, and the presence of major players are some factors expected to drive the warm air heater market in North America.\nThe warm air heaters market in Asia Pacific is expected to grow significantly, owing to increasing heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment demand in the region. Markets in Europe, Middle East & Africa, and Latin America are expected to register substantial growth over the forecast period.\nGlobal Warm Air Heaters Market Segmentation:\nSegmentation by Product Type:\nSegmentation by Application:\n- Industrial\n- Power Generation\n- Tunnels\n- Buildings<<"}

{"text": "This week we started working on lowering the cherry tomato vines that have grown to the top of the greenhouses. All the bottom branches that are done producing must be trimmed so the vines can be lowered and rewrapped around the string at the top providing more growing space. This task will take days to complete as we can only work at it when it is not too hot and sunny or when it is raining outside.\nWith field tomatoes ripening I've begun canning. Just a small batch to get back into it.\nOur crazy carrots will be coming your way again. Katchkie Farm has very rocky soil. You may see the result of this in your carrots. Some grow into strange alien or octopus like shapes sprouting multiple arms or legs while others curl and wrap around one another in beautiful embraces that refuse to come apart or maybe we simply refuse to untangle them, choosing to keep our little carrot communities together. I’ve begun juicing, throwing the whole bunch, leaves and all right into the juicer with parsley, cucumbers, celery and an apple or two. So very refreshing and rejuvenating.

It was a fascinating building and one of the most unique spaces I have ever experienced. The angled glass exterior walls and honeycombed mirrored ceiling form a 6-story atrium that has a surreal feeling.\nAUTHOR\nI have been an amateur photographer since I took a photography course in High School several decades ago. Since I learned photography from a black and white perspective, I still try to visualize the images I take in black and white and have been converting my better digital images to black and white. My inspiration for black and white photography came from Ansel Adams, and I love to shoot nature and have an eye for abstraction. I have been fortunate enough to have traveled extensively, which provides me with a variety of interesting subject matter.

{"text": "Freedom is not a right. It is fought for and paid for by the blood of those willing to sacrifice. Sometimes, we who are lucky enough to live in free societies, get a glimpse of what the struggle for freedom is really about. Jonathon Demme's powerful, heartbreaking documentary, The Agronomist, is a tale about the fight for freedom and a man who gave everything for it. Jean Dominique, the owner and voice of Radio Haiti Inter, the only free radio station in Haiti, is the subject of this film. His story is an interesting one. It is the story of Haiti over the last sixty years. An island nation oppressed, abused, and beset by turmoil.\nJean Dominique became friends with filmmaker Jonathon Demme in the 1980's. Dominique was in exile in the Unites States. He fled Haiti to avoid being killed by the oppressive government of the Devalier (Papa Doc and Baby Doc) regime. He owned and operated a radio station, Radio Haiti Inter, that publicized the struggles of poor Haitians and their callous treatment by the Haitian government. Dominique was an eccentric character. I can see why Demme was so fascinated by him. The way he spoke, his outlandish mannerisms, the man demanded attention. Their friendship grew over the years and Demme began filming his life story through a series of interviews. The chronology of these interviews followed a turbulent time in Haitian history. Governments came and went. Haiti would descend into anarchy and Demme filmed it all through the perspective of Jean Dominique. We see him change over time. His hopes rise and fall with Haiti, as his beloved country staggered under political change.\nDominique, who was raised in a privileged family, abandoned a career in agriculture to pursue his dream of being a journalist. His evolution to the voice of Radio Haiti is a true journey of self-discovery. Dominique fell in love with the cinema. His efforts to bring realistic depictions of Haitian life to film where crushed by Papa Doc Devalier, the Haitian dictator for forty years. Dominique took his voice to the radio, speaking in the patois of the poor Haitian people. They identified with him and he brought them a world of information. He publicized the inequities of Haitian society and was constantly victimized by the Haitian government. His radio station was riddled with gunfire and his employees were tortured. Dominique used his wits to evade capture and thus was borne a lifetime of skillfully evading harm. He would take his family into exile several times. Always returning to a hero's welcome and broadcasting his message out to the Haitian people.\nJean Dominique was murdered in the year 2000. His death is shocking because we come to love him during the film. He's a strange man, but we identify with his passion for his homeland and people. Demme is severely affected by his murder. He never represents himself on screen. He uses the film to voice his outrage over Dominique's death. He pulls no punches, laying blame and pointing a cold finger towards those he feels responsible. Demme wants the world to know about Jean Dominique.\nThe film is very informative. It speaks volumes about Haiti and the current situation she finds herself in. It is not my job as a reviewer to make political statements. The film speaks for itself and draws its own conclusions about the state of affairs and who is ultimately responsible for the debacle in Haiti. It is political, undoubtedly, but it is more so a story of an individual that exhibited strength and courage. Dominique was not afraid of consequences. His conscious gave a voice to those who were not being heard. He spoke out in the face of mortal peril and sacrificed himself for the cause. Haitians remember him as a dogged pursuer of the truth and voice for justice. Their fight continues after his death as Haiti still faces an uncertain future. Dominique's memory and life story is a hymn of his homeland. The Agronomist is Jonathon Demme's love poem to Dominique and call to arms about his struggle. Everyone in the world should sit and watch this movie. Its themes are universal."}

{"text": "I was so excited to see the post Madame\nBut, before I get carried away showing you what I made this past summer and what I came up with, I want to give a big thank you to Sherri Gallagher of Living with a Purpose and Madame Samm. They did a terrific job coming up with this idea for a hop and putting it all together.\nThank you both!!!!\nNow for Gingham! I must say, when I think if Gingham, I think of country, and when I think of country... I think of Minnie Pearl. She was a great country performer and raised a lot of money in her life for cancer and the MDA foundation.\nShe was born Sara Ophelia Colley on October 25, 1912 in Centerville, TN (The youngest of 5 children and nicknamed Minnie)\nOne of her earlier jobs was working for the Atlantic based Wayne P. Swell Producing Co. There she met an elderly woman whose \"Country-Fried Manerisms\" and speaking inspired her.\nShe started speaking in Womens clubs and a gentleman from Nashville happened to hear one of her shows and was very impressed, right from her opening line: \"How- www - DEE-E-E-E-E, I'm jes so proud to be here!\" This line led her to to the Grand old Opry.\nShe always wore a cheerful Hillbilly get-up. A frilly gingham dress with puffy sleeves and a straw hat with a price tag on of $ 1.98. She bought her first outfit for less than $ 10.00. She forgot to remove the tag from the dime store flowers and the audience loved it. So it became her trademark.\nAfter successfully battling breast cancer, she donated a lot of time and money to the Nashville Cancer Center. She also helped Jerry Lewis with the MDA marathon, in raising money.\n(Her home outside Nashville)\nShe received the American Cancer Society Award and the Natonal Medal of Honor.\nMinnie suffered a stroke in 1991 bringing her carer to an end. She died March 4, 1996 in the Nashville Nursing home at the age of 83.\nHer favorite lines were:\nKissing a man with a beard is a lot like going through a little brush to get there.\nThe doctor must have put my pacemaker in wrong. Every time my husband kisses me, the garage door opens.\nGetting married is a lot like getting into a tub of hat water. After you get used to it, it ain't so hot.\n(I am sure everyone remembers \"Hee Haw\")\nShe was a great woman and I got lots of ideas as to what to make with gingham.\nSo after reminiscing on my childhood and times watching \"HeeHaw\", I thought long and hard, grabbed my pencil and paper and started to draw.\nWell, I came up with this:\nI bet you thought it would have something to do with Minnie Pearl. :)\nWhen I Riley Blake's gingham I just loved them! All those bright colors!\nI decided to make a baby quilt. When I purchased my gingham, I couldn't decide what colors to get, so I got an assorted pack.\n(Some day, I would like to make a gingham dress like Minnie Pearl used to wear. :)\nOh what a busy summer I had. As most of you know, our biggest event was the wedding of our son and his wonderful wife. They had gotten the wedding together down here in west TN but the actual wedding ceramony was in PA.\nI made 27 small toppers for the tables and 1 large one for the bridal table.\nAt the same time, I made 2 Mickey Mouse quilts.\nI also started an embroidery project. With the wedding and all the running, it felt good just to sit and relax in the evening. But not being able to quilt, that was hard. My husband teased me and said I was going through withdrawal. :)\nSo I got out this pattern my friend gave me. I added some extra to it, you know me, I could never just follow directions.\nWell it took most of the summer to finish it.\nThis pattern was actually for a table topper. But I had no need for a topper like this. I always make myself block toppers. You know, the ones that I could put a centerpiece on (I love fresh flowers from my flower beds) So they have to be practical and washable. Anyway, I decide to make my own design around the embroidery and make it a walk hanging. I came up with this.\nI also made 4 Fall placemats:\nThen I was asked to make a Football Quilt with purple and gray. These are the colors of one of our local high school. I also added their mascot, a Bulldog.\nOk, enough of my summer, I want to go see what others have done on their summer. Also see what they have made with Gingham.\nCome join me!\nHere is the list of today's:\nThank you for dropping by,\nHAPPY QUILTING EVERYONE!!!\n55 comments:\nYou have really been sewing up a storm!

The Pluto parameters for the collisions below were: flash delay:70 ms, drop 1 size: 4 ms, drop 2 delay 55 ms, drop 2 size: 5 ms.\nProfessor A. L. Yarin at the University of Illinois, Chicago has suggested\n\"Nobody saw what you found due to chaging the background, as to myknowledge.\nHowever, this resembles something which was discussed in relation to drop\nbreakup: viscous stripping. I mean a very fine atomization due to\nviscous vorces from the air side stripping a thin layer from the drop on\ntop of the Worthington jet (in your case). I bet you can try to publish\nyour finding with more details and analysis, e.g. in Experiments in\nFluids.\"\nNo discernable mist - perhaps a collision is necessary\nMist projected downward below the smaller drop. Of considerable interest to me are the two vertical lines connecting the middle small drop with the large upper drop. As if the two are still loosely connected.\nNo discernable mist\nAlmost like a rocket igniting and exhaust projected downward\nMist sort of directed up then away to the sides and down. Here is another example of a connection between the two water objects - two vertical lines connecting the upper drop with the misty region above the head of the pawn\nHat formation with mist dropping from the lower edge\nUpdate Oct. 29, 2017\nThe anomaly (streamers, mist ext) appears to be associated with hat or disk formation.

{"text": "Jennifer Heller, a fifth-year PhD candidate, studies inflammation and immunology. “I chose Northwestern because of the caliber of faculty and the room for growth within my area of interest, immunology. I also love being downtown and close to the research hospital.”\nIn autoimmune diseases such as colitis, excess inflammation occurs in the gut and causes patients to have symptoms such as abdominal pain, loss of appetite, fatigue, and diarrhea. Jennifer Heller, a fifth-year PhD candidate, uses animal models of colitis to better understand how the adaptive immune system becomes dysregulated.\n“I am working to identify a new target for therapeutics in autoimmune disease,” Heller said. “Ideally, we would find a molecular component of the inflammation pathway that could be targeted for more precise treatment instead of the common drugs that stop inflammation in the whole body and have a lot of side effects.”\nWhile her research investigates colitis, it is translatable to other areas of immunology, such as psoriasis, multiple sclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis.\n“This area of research is really hot right now in immunology,” Heller said. “It is an exciting time to be working on projects like this, and there has been a lot of progress in the last few years that is pushing the forefront of scientific research.”\nHeller knew she wanted to study immunology when she started in the Walter S. and Lucienne Driskill Graduate Training Program in Life Sciences (DGP). After spending the first year of the program taking courses and rotating in labs, she chose to do her thesis in the lab of Liang Zhou, MD, PhD, assistant professor in pathology and microbiology-immunology, who joined the University in 2009.\n“Joining a new faculty member’s lab who is working in an exciting area of science was something I found very appealing,” Heller said. “As a joint lab between pathology and microbiology-immunology, there are a lot of resources available as well as a lot of potential collaborations that I could take advantage of inside and outside of the University.”\nEven though Heller knew what she wanted to study before beginning the program, she enjoyed the rotation process because it exposed her to different areas of science and expanded her network at the University.\n“I think it is a really good system even if you know where you want to end up going,” she said, “I knew I ultimately wanted to go into immunology research, but it still exposes you to other techniques and other labs that you wouldn’t have otherwise considered.”\nBefore starting the program, Heller completed dual bachelor’s degrees in ecology and evolutionary biology and Spanish from the University of Arizona. She then worked at Novartis Pharmaceuticals.\nHeller says that she thinks coming from an untraditional background made her a stronger scientist and led her to take advantage of the opportunities available at Northwestern."}

{"text": "Does. In many ways, capacity planning has become much more essential, but the role has expanded to cover capacity in more areas and to include cost analysis. It’s harder, but also much more important.\nWhere once people worked on terminals attached to a mainframe, now users come in from anywhere, anytime and may hit a variety of servers in executing work. The complexity is daunting.\nThe Evolution of Capacity Planning\nWe used to have business partner predictions on capacity. While they weren’t perfect, you could rely on the optimists to predict a sales campaign would go really well and pessimists to figure no one would care about the new application. You could manage that.\nDistributed systems arrived and applications started mining mainframe data and later applications. No one on that side of the house ever warned the capacity planner that the volume was going to hit.\nYou had to be watching, asking questions, evaluating data. As your customers moved from web to mobile-enabled devices and apps grew to put more demands on your back-end systems, the challenge grew. These users expected great performance and weren’t terribly loyal. If you couldn’t respond, they’d go somewhere else.\nStill, the hardware vendors kept telling you hardware is getting cheaper. You don’t need to plan. And yet, if you didn’t plan, the impact could be severe. Companies were loath to spend money on more hardware unless you proved the need, but it was harder to find the data to do the job.\nWith hardware vendors suggesting that capacity planning was dead, many people found they were asked to take on other kinds of work. “You don’t need to spend all your time doing that job anymore,” they were told.\nAnd software prices kept going up and became a bigger concern. Capacity planners had to consider software placement and utilization, even with VWLC, to keep the costs from growing. In many shops, the job has grown to also look at space, cooling and electrical capacity planning.\nWhile mainframes were never a huge electrical draw, the server farms have pushed some data centers to disperse hardware. Some cities are out of electrical capacity (London, New York and more).\nLooking to the Future\nThe “Internet of things” (IoT) is going to drive more capacity issues as appliances in people’s houses start making demands on the system. You won’t know the impact in advance. It will just hit your system, potentially impacting other critical applications.\nThe solution? Document the issues and impacts for your management team. In doing so, you may not only justify your position. You’ll also be able to demand software to assist you in this complex process and the training to design and perform the new job of capacity planning.\nCapacity planning isn’t dead. With the right approach, the phoenix will rise from the ashes evolving into a larger and more important discipline we can all enjoy.\n- Three Pro-mainframe Arguments Your C-levels Want to Hear - August 31, 2017\n- How to Make Performance a Key Part of Enterprise DevOps - July 13, 2017\n- How to Make Automated Capacity Management Really Work for You - July 6, 2017"}

{"text": "What are the benefits of working with an agency?\nPosted on 2nd August 2018 at 15:01\nThe Recruitment industry is fierce and highly competitive, known to some as “a necessary evil” but really a Recruiter’s job is simply to add value to your business and enable you to have access to the best talent in the market.\nA good working relationship with a Recruiter not only gives you the best results within an agreed timeframe but can become an extension of your in HR or in – house recruitment teams\nHere are 10 reasons to work with an agency and why you should consider Recruit 2 You as your partner agency;\nDependability\nWe are a service provider, and we specialise in delivering exceptional service every time – regardless of the size or value. Working together we become an extension of your team, we take on your encounters as though they were our own and see them through until they are accomplished.\nAccountability\nOne of the most significant aspects of working with an agency is accountability. We thrive in deadline-driven environments and are held accountable for every part of our service. And we must do this on time and on budget.\nAccess to Resources\nIf you use a Recruitment Agency, you are statistically more likely to access the best candidates on the market! People who are actively looking for new positions are also more likely to register with agencies. In addition, most recruitment agencies will position their vacancy announcements on a variety of job boards, and they would recognise what it takes for that advertisement to rank highly in candidates’ job searches. All of this is knowledge that you only get from working in the sector.\nExternal Perspective on the Brand\nOne of the most valuable services an agency offers is to bring an external perspective to your brand. This means looking at your business as YOUR clients do, seeing what they see and communicating that back in direct and productive ways. That outside perspective is both informative and incredibly important to our clients because it can help them break out of old habits, attitudes and ideas that may be holding them back from making meaningful development and accomplishing growth.\nCost effective\nMany organisations have an internal recruitment function, but even they have agencies to help fulfil campaigns for them. Operationally, it might be more cost-effective to contract this highly specialised work out to professionals. We are not employees, and therefore, are self-sufficient, self-sustaining, and driven to get the job done on time. This translates to reduced overhead and better results. In summary, there are a lot more positives than negatives to partnering with an agency.\nShortlisting suitable candidates\nRecruitment agencies will only shortlist the correctly qualified individuals, meaning that you do not have to – which is a huge time saver. Occasionally, your requirements might be very specific, and you need an expert who understands the candidates in these positions and has a database of them to call upon. In this instance, using a recruitment agency means that only candidates who are fully qualified and have experience for the role will be shortlisted for the position. A recruitment agency will achieve the procedure for you, discarding any unsuitable candidates and handling any enquiries about the role.\nSeasonal demands\nAnother great motive to use a Recruitment Agency might be to stretch your flexibility in your recruitment preparation to meet a critical demand or to cover holiday in busy periods such as Christmas. Temporary recruitment agencies will take a vast sum of the pain and strain away from companies who need quick access to temporary candidates.\nRelationships\nA reliable.\nNow, why should you work with us?\nThe biggest attraction to our business is our people. Each consultant here at Recruit 2 You only wants the best for your business and for the candidates they work with, we are determined, love to be challenged and have a focus on providing a quality service to everyone involved in the process.\nWe have years of experience, vast sector knowledge and have built a reputation for providing a consistent, professional, and honest recruitment service, giving equal priority to candidate and client relationships.\nSo why are you waiting?\nGive one of our consultants a call and let us start building that partnership today.\n"}

{"text": "Hopes that the central bank could cut its long held policy rate as its Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meets, have been blunted by a marginal rise in inflation for the past month, fueled by fears among traders that the cedi could take a hit in the run up to the December polls.\nInflation for August inched up to 16.9 percent from 16.7 percent, a situation that is likely to clog the wheels of the central bank.\nBefore the Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) announced the August inflation figure, the consumer price index had declined from 18.9 percent in May to 16.7 percent in July, prompting calls on the Bank of Ghana to loosen the monetary stance on the back of a stable inflation.\nBut Wednesday’s announcement saw inflation rise for the first time in three months after a largely inconsistent performance in the first half of the year.\nThe Ghana Statistical Service, which tracks inflation, said it suspected the rise resulted from traders who are hiking prices because they fear the local currency would struggle against the US dollar ahead of the polls, which is less than three months away.\nGiven that the disinflation process has been haltered, the MPC will likely freeze the rate at the current 26 percent for the sixth consecutive time – since November 2015.\nThis move will be influenced by the fact that the inflation outlook, despite the marginal increase, is not worrisome at this stage, and given that there has not been any significant build up in disruptive demand pressures to pose significant risks to inflation.\nAlso, policy easing will most likely not be on the cards in 2016 because the BoG is nowhere near a comfort zone when it comes to inflation. It expects headline inflation to move within the medium target band of 8±2 percent in the third quarter of 2017, against earlier projections of mid-2017.\nAt its last MPC meeting, the BoG said its inflation target will remain anchored on monetary and fiscal policy tightness, stability in the local currency and expected slower food price increases with the onset of the harvest season.\nHistorically, in an election year, the central bank’s policy rate has hardly been reduced, partly because there is always some nervousness about how the fiscal side will pan out.\nHowever, if the 2016 GDP growth estimate of 4.1 percent is anything to go by–and provided fiscal slippage is avoided— “then we should not be expecting the kind of hyper-economic activity associated with past election years to occur this year,” one analyst said.\nSource: kasapafmonline"}

Schools have a duty to protect the privacy, safety, and dignity of all students.\nSome individuals identify with a gender that's different from their body. In those cases, schools should seek compassionate solutions — like offering special changing areas for those struggling with their identity — that respect the interest of all students.\nThe Montana Locker Room Privacy Act\nThe Montana Locker Room Privacy Act takes those core principles and writes them into law. It requires schools and other government buildings to maintain a locker room for men, one for women, and to keep each private from the opposite sex. It provides compassionate solutions for those who don't fit neatly into male or female, like single stall changing facilities.\nThe Initiative Process\nThe Locker Room Privacy Act will be passed by citizen initiative. We're not waiting for politicians to act. We're not waiting for the gridlock to be broken. The citizens of Montana are standing up on their own to make this law by the initiative process.

{"text": "CANANDAIGUA, N.Y. -- New York State Sen. Pam Helming said Monday she will return the cash bonus check she received while serving as the vice-chair of a Senate committee.\nThe cash bonuses like Helming's -- known as \"lulus\" -- are outlined in state law as rewards for committee chairs and other leadership positions in the New York Senate and Assembly.\nUnder a recently revealed practice, however, certain senators serving as vice-chair or even deputy vice-chair have received the bonuses, drawing the ire of good-government groups.\nTo secure the money for the senators, the Senate GOP submitted payroll credentials falsely listing at least six senators as \"chair\" to the state comptroller.\nHelming (R-Canandaigua) was one of those senators falsely designated in state payroll records as chairwoman on the Senate Crime Victims, Crime and Correction committee. She said Monday in a statement to Syracuse.com she never deposited the money, reported to be $12,500.\n\"I have not, and will not, accept any payment for my work as Vice Chair of the Crime Victims, Crime and Correction committee. My office is in the process of returning these uncashed checks to the taxpayers of our state,\" she said.\nA lawyer for Senate Majority Leader John Flanagan (R-Long Island) late Saturday issued a four-page memo justifying the practice as longstanding and acceptable under state law. His memo said the Senate is allowed to allocate \"institutional resources to its own members...without interference from the other two branches of government.\"\nThe senators who received the payments are Republicans and members of the Independent Democratic Conference, a group of breakaway Democrats that partnered with the GOP to help it maintain control over the Senate.\nThe cash bonuses appear to have been given to senators who did not serve as committee chairs in situations where the actual committee chairs opted to receive larger payouts they earned for other leadership positions in the Senate.\nIDC Sen. Dave Valesky of Syracuse and Sen. Patti Ritchie (R-Oswegatchie) also received or were approved to receive the money, according to news reports. Neither senator has responded to requests for comment.\nOn Monday, a lawyer for Senate Democrats also issued a memorandum that drew the opposite conclusion of the the lawyer. Shontell Smith said the bonuses are illegal and accused the GOP of trying to hide the payouts in records submitted to the comptroller.\n\"If their actions were above-board, they would have indicated to the Comptroller that these Senators were actually vice-chairs or deputy vice-chairs,\" Smith wrote.\nGood-government groups like New York Public Interest Research Group have called on the Senate GOP to end the practice."}

At theatre opening nights the stars would be ignored, as she sashayed down the red carpet, owning it.\nNone begrudged her a moment. All wanted what she offered. Just one kiss..one kiss.\nAnd those chosen found their lives transformed. News travelled fast of great wealth, great fame.

So the cautionary tales never made the headlines, and no-one ever learned in time.\nAbout how it started, three to six months later. At first just a stiffness in the joints, like arthritis.

(That’s the third sale by the yard this year, if you’re counting.)\nThe vessel, which sports an exterior and interior penned by UK-based studio Winch Design, was first presented at the Monaco Yacht Show in 2018 as Project Avanti. Her dynamic architecture piqued the interest of a prospective buyer—a superyacht connoisseur and experienced seafarer—who seized the opportunity and appointed Arcon Yachts to manage construction for delivery in 2023.\nHeesen’s Project Avanti YouTube\nBoasting a new-look sporty profile, Project Sparta—also known as YN 20067—is characterized by a cascading aft deck that serves to connect the statement bow and the inviting transom. The “fast displacement” hull form was devised by Van Oossanen Naval Architects and allows the cruiser to cut through the seas at a top speed of 16 knots. The yacht will have a maximum range of 4,500 nautical miles when sailing at a leisurely 12 knots.\nOnboard, the off-center spiral staircase with glass elevator links all three decks. The lower deck features a walk-in wellness area with jacuzzi, sauna, steam room and gym, as well as the crew quarters where there’s space for 15 staff plus a nanny. The main deck houses an expansive full-beam salon—unusual on a vessel of this size—and four guest suites. There’s room for 12 guests in total, but the entire bridge deck has been dedicated to the owner. (We like your style.)

{"text": "Mr. Djanogly: The hon. Gentleman makes an interesting point. The rationale for the Bill can be considered at various levels. On the one hand, it is a straightforward attempt to encourage employees to become interested in their company, but as we can see from the briefing notes the measure would also provide that SIPs could be used as a another mechanism to promote activities such as employee buy-outs. I am simply saying that that is unlikely to be the case, and that the real benefits of the Bill are likely to be more modest than several hon. Members have implied. Of course, that does not mean that the Bill is worthless.\nMr. Gareth R. Thomas (Harrow, West): The hon. Gentleman is making a distinctive contribution, focusing on many of the technical issues that form a background to the Bill. He spoke about the rationale for introducing the Bill and said that there were several different levels. Has he been influenced by the most basic form of rationale for legislation: the fact that his constituents want the Bill? Would he join me and other Members of Parliament who have been lobbied by employees of the John Lewis organisation in congratulating them on the effectiveness of their lobbying operation?\nMr. Djanogly: I certainly would congratulate John Lewis on that lobbying operation. John Lewis does not have a base in my constituency, but it does close by. As I said, the larger organisations such as John Lewis could enjoy real benefits from legislation such as the Bill because it would give them another way of incentivising their employees. To that extent, I welcome the principle of the Bill.\nHowever, it is important to appreciate thatprobably because of the limitations of the underlying legislationthe Government wisely decided not to abolish previous share incentivisation plans, such as the save-as-you-earn share option scheme and the company share option plans. Although they were by no means perfect, they at leasttogether with the Government's new enterprise management incentive schememake available a wider package for tax-advantageous share ownership and\nThe business of a company may not qualify to be included. The company may not be independentI appreciate that, in a limited context, the Bill identifies that as an issue to be dealt with for certain companiesor its assets may be too great. In practice, there will be many occasions on which, and many different reasons why, a company cannot tick all the boxes that it needs to tick to set up a particular incentivisation plan.\nIn such situations, the company will need to fall back on the so-called unapproved issue of shares or unapproved grant of optionsin other words, schemes that do not have tax benefits. In such circumstances, once the top layer of the schemes is removed, the picture changes somewhat to reveal a system that is extremely complicated and often unfair to company and employees, and in which the tax payable has been substantially increased by the Labour Government.\nIf the Bill is truly to improve share ownership and encourage the setting up of new companies and the incentivisation of employees who wish to purchase their own company, I would suggest that three issues in particular need to be covered. The first concerns listed companies whose shares have fallen substantially. Many, if not all of their share options will be \"under water\"the exercise price of the shares will be greater than the price at which they are currently quoted. Many such companies, which are particularly predominant in the technology sector, will have issued share options up to the maximum permitted level of 10 per cent. of their issued share capital. As a result, many dozens of companies are negatively incentivised. I would suggest that, in such circumstances, it be made easier for companies to terminate existing options and re-issue at the lower current market price.\nMr. Davey: The hon. Gentleman has just put forward an interesting idea. What does he think the impact of his proposal would be on the nature of risk-taking associated with employee share ownership?\nMr. Djanogly: The nature of risk-taking is not relevant because the individual can decide not to exercise those options, so there is no risk for the employee; there is simply no incentivisation in so far as he will not exercise those options. If one wished to incentivise employees who are in that position, one would need to cancel the existing options and re-issue new ones. If a company has had a very high share price and the market collapses, as the technology market did, employees may well have share options at a strike price that is so far ahead of the market price that they are negatively incentivised rather than incentivised by having those share options.\nMr. Davey: Will the hon. Gentleman give way?\nMr. Djanogly: I feel that that issue needs to be addressed, but I shall move on if the hon. Gentleman does not mind.\nI have a second suggestion for improving the Bill. Since April 1999, national insurance has been charged to companies on gains arising from the exercise of unapproved options. That has been nothing more than a\nThe reference to the United States by the hon. Member for Edmonton (Mr. Love) reminds me that employees there have the opportunity to choose whether to pay up front or later, and we could do much by adopting the same position. I conclude by repeating that the measures that we are debating today will do no bad at all and some good, but they will tinker at the edges of the issue and fail to get to the heart of the problem.\nMs Meg Munn (Sheffield, Heeley): I am delighted that the House is giving such serious consideration to the Bill and that it has received support from hon. Members on both sides of the House. As a member of the Labour and Co-operative parties, and as a representative of those parties in Parliament, it is interesting to hear the issues and values that my hon. Friends and I stand for being discussed.\nThe Bill would make three significant changes to the law to encourage wider employee share ownership, by improving representation for employees with shares and changing corporation tax and tax reliefs. My hon. Friend the Member for Edinburgh, North and Leith (Mr. Lazarowicz) explained those aspects of the Bill in detail, and in supporting it I wish to focus more on the positive aspects of employee shareholding and to say why I believe that it is particularly positive for individuals, companies and societies.\nIn doing so, I hope to provide a balance to the speech made by hon. Friend the Member for Huntingdon (Mr. Djanogly). Although he went into a great deal of technicality, he seems to have considered this issue as merely a matter of money, bonuses and incentives, whereas I believe that it is much more fundamental to the way in which we run companies and people operate in this society.\nEmployee share ownership is about enriching the experience of working life. After all, people spend a lot of time at worksome of us more than others. One of the key factors in having a positive experience of work is how much we feel in control of our own lives. The people who suffer the most stress in their working lives are often those at the bottom of the pilethose who do the jobs that keep the rest of us going, but who have very little say in what goes on.\nWhen I became a Member of Parliament I noticed that there was something a little different from my previous occupations and the other workplaces of which I am\nMany people get so much job satisfaction from being a Member of Parliament because they can largely control what they do with their time; they are self-directedWhips permitting, obviously. They can decide to concentrate on various subjects and to pursue particular interests. They feel that they are making a contribution and doing something worth while. That sense of job satisfaction and having control and a stake in what happens is crucial to employee share ownership.\nThe first benefit of employee share ownership is that it encourages an active participation in decision making. Employees are not always on the receiving end of decisions that other people have made and that seem to have no relevance to the employees or to the company for which they work. That taps into the motivation of employees and gets back from them a level of commitment.\nEmployee share ownership also helps to enable work to be designed to encourage the fullest contribution from employees. If they want their companies to do well, they are more committed to using all their skills and abilities and to becoming more fully involved in what the company is trying to do. That also ensures and enhances the competence of the employees, as they become committed to taking up training opportunities and to pooling their knowledge and abilities for the best of all concerned.\nThe Bill is welcome because it would improve the current situation. Importantly, it would seek to democratise share owning in UK companies. It is about introducing mechanisms to translate individual employee shareholding stakes into a collective voice, making sure that those interests are represented and convincing employees that their shareholdings can give them a stake in the whole enterprise.\nI particularly welcomed the contribution of the hon. Member for Aylesbury (Mr. Lidington), who recognised that employee share ownership enables individuals to build up capital. This country has a problem with savings and we know that sectors of the population have no capital to provide for their families in the long run. Although the Bill might make only a minor contribution to solving that problem and might affect only a few people, the issue should not be ignored.\nOther Members have made it clear that employees who feel that they have a stake in their workplace are more likely to be committed to their jobs, to stay longer in the company and to become valuable members of a team. That will lead to a company's longer-term prosperity and, as other Members have eloquently pointed out, research shows that employee share ownership often boosts productivity.\nCompanies face difficult issues of corporate governance and in ensuring that things are done properly. When stakeholders take a long-term interest in their investments, that is more likely to lead to good corporate governance and to good outcomes for companies. Employee shareholder trusts are an excellent way of encouraging just that. The employees involved have a long-term interest in the company and in their own future. It is a win-win situation.\nIf employees can participate in decisions and are not merely the recipients of shares, share options or bonuses in the way that the hon. Member for Huntingdon suggested, that will help to generate and sustain company loyalty and commitment to the organisation. It helps to combat the long-term British disease of short termism. We need companies that will be successful in the long term and, in a rapidly changing world, innovation is important. Employees who are involved in their companies are able to contribute to decisions about what is produced and about the processes used in production.\nAs my hon. Friend the Member for Edinburgh, North and Leith said, the Bill would broaden the definitions involved to cover more employee participation companies. It must be right that the tax benefits available to companies under existing schemes should be spread to those organisations whose fundamental purpose is to include employees in their running. They include worker co-operatives, in particular, and the Bill represents a step forward in recognising that companies, such as the John Lewis Partnership, about which we have heard a great deal, should receive the same benefits and opportunities as other employee shareholding arrangements receive.\nEmployee share schemes also raise issues for society in general. Does it matter who owns companies? My hon. Friend the Member for West Bromwich, West (Mr. Bailey) talked about the distinct views that were expressed on that a few decades ago, and employee share schemes might be a different approacha third way, perhaps. However, it is a case not of public or private ownership, but of recognising that our society benefits from different ownership structures. There are different ways to produce profits and to reward employees. Those different structures add to the richness of our society and the proposals will help us to consider new ways to operate that will also improve efficiency, which we all want.\nHon. Members mentioned what happened a few years ago when many financial mutuals converted to plcs, which was resisted by those of us with a strong interest in mutuality. Anything that encourages people to become involved in companies again is welcome because it allows us to have a more balanced society. Such an approach allows us to recognise the contributions of individuals and the fact that people who work together often achieve more than people who work against each other.\nUnfortunately, with private ownership shareholders' interests often come first. The benefits of being responsive to the interests of employees, consumers and local communities is often forgotten. There is the opportunity, in companies in which employees have a much greater involvement, to raise such issues and put them higher on the agenda, ensuring that the long-term interests of the enterprise are promoted, but not at the expense of the interests of those other important stakeholders.\nSociety is changing and the economy is much more skills driven and knowledge based. We know that those attributes come from employees and that it is not possible to go out and buy those skills as part of a mechanistic process. It must be a good thing if we ensure that people who have that knowledge and those skills are involved in a company and committed to it.\nWe must welcome the fact that the Government have promoted employee share ownership, as reflected in previous Budgets. However, the Bill would tidy up some of those provisions and take us significantly further forward. Hon. Members demonstrated how extending employee share ownership can benefit individuals, companies and the wider society. We have discussed whether the Bill would bring about huge changes in society. Are the proposals radical or just minor tinkerings that will not do what people expect? We need to make it clear that the model is optional. People can choose it and it is important that the Government encourage them to do so. For those who see the potential of encouraging active employee participation, the Bill will be an improvement. It will clear up anomalies that penalise those organisations that are at the forefront of involving their employees.\nI conclude by congratulating my hon. Friend the Member for Edinburgh, North and Leith on introducing the Bill. I am especially delighted, as I am sure he is, with the cross-party support that it has received."}

{"text": "Verizon Wireless has started taking pre-orders for two Windows Phone 8 devices, Nokia Lumia 822 and HTC 8X. The former is available for $99.99, while the latter could be yours for $100 more. Of course, you’ll still need to sign-up for a two-year contract but that’s something you can hardly avoid these days (except if you want/can pay a premium for the unlocked phones).\nThe exact release dates are unknown at the moment though you can sign-up to receive more information and “be one of the first to experience the new Windows Phone powered by Verizon.” I would guess that both phones will hit the carrier’s stores in the next couple of weeks.\nIn terms of color options, the Nokia Lumia 822 will be available in black, white and grey; and HTC 8X in blue, red and black with the latter two colors being exclusive to Verizon.\nIn related news, another Windows Phone device will soon hit Verizon – Samsung ATIV Odyssey, which has just recently cleared the FCC hurdle."}

{"text": "Looks like the Duchess of Sussex has her first job since stepping down from her Royal life.\nShe will be narrating a film for Disney.\nThe film, called Elephant, will be available on Disney+ from 3 April.\nThe trailer for Elephant revealed that it 'follows one family's extraordinary 1,000 mile journey across Africa on an adventure that will change their lives'.\nAs you may remember, Harry was seen praising his wife's voiceover skills to Disney boss Bob Iger at the UK premier of Lion King in July.\nIn the controversial video, Prince Harry pointed to his wife and said: 'You do know she does voiceovers?', Mr Iger replies: 'I did not know that', before Harry continues: 'You seem surprised, she's really interested'.\nThe Disney boss says: 'We'd love to try. That's a great idea,' while Meghan, who was next to Prince Harry, continues speaking to Beyonce.\nThe response to the casting has been met with mixed reviews. \"That’s great! Give a multi millionaire a job!\" says one user.\n\"I’ll make sure I don’t listen since phony Meghan is narrating,\" says another.\nThe Duke and Duchess of Sussex officially complete their roles as senior royals on March 31 as they 'work to become financially independent'."}
