BkiUcsXxK4sA-46xNiEi | Q: How to prevent from DataAnnotations Attributes being deleted in DataBase First Model I have my asp.net mvc 3 application with entity framework and i used the Database First model to set it up.
My Steps below:
1. Genarated a database with tables
2. Created ADO.NET Entity Data Model file (.edmx) and imported the tables
3. inside the design i added a Code Generation item and used ADO.NET DbContext Generator
4. a Model1.tt holder as been made with all of the tables Models
I have edited the models and updated them with DataAnnotations Attributes (just for the example a well known one)
public class LogOnModel
{
[Required]
[Display(Name = "User name")]
public string UserName { get; set; }
[Required]
[DataType(DataType.Password)]
[Display(Name = "Password")]
public string Password { get; set; }
[Display(Name = "Remember me?")]
public bool RememberMe { get; set; }
}
Now when im making changes to the database and updating it to the edmx file all the models will be overwritten and the DataAnnotations Attributes will disapear.
my question:
how can i use database first model and still edit the models for speciific validation like im free to do with code first model?
(please no third party tools solution)
thanks
A: You need to use buddy classes. See my dated but still useful article http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee256141(v=vs.98).aspx

BkiUc5_xK6mkyCfOB3i_ | This is one of my longest term UFOs. There isn't anything difficult about it. I just would do one thing on it and then put it away and not work on it again for a year or so. I have no idea when I started this. I'm not even sure where I was living at the time.
It is a t shirt quilt. The shirts are ones I bought in Costa Rica and Bolivia. I had to make the pattern up because none of the shirts were the same size. They are set between blocks of dragonfly fabric. The little blocks on the sides are the logos that were on the front of some of the shirts and the pictures were on the back. I added the hourglass blocks to make it long enough to cover me from toes to nose. It is tied and the backing is flannel for comfyness.
It has been being made for so long that it got really dirty. This was the first quilt I've ever washed. I was a nervous wreck. I've been making quilts for 10 years but I've only ever kept a few wall quilts that I don't wash. The rest are all gifts or go to charity. This is the first that I'm keeping to actually cover up with. That's seems odd after all this time I guess but the shirts are sentimental so this one isn't going anywhere!
The binding is done in iguana fabric that I bought years and years ago to be the borders of this quilt. Then it didn't look right so I saved it for the binding and started using it for other things too. Then I didn't have enough for the whole binding after all this time of saving it. It is now interspersed with hunter green. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUdYvxK03BfL1dVU_4 | WASHINGTON—The Justice Department asked its internal watchdog to examine if there was any impropriety in the counterintelligence investigation of President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign, after the president demanded Sunday that the department investigate the motives behind the inquiry.
Mr. Trump was referring to a man who approached at least two Trump campaign aides in 2016 in connection with the counterintelligence investigation into the campaign. Special counsel Robert Mueller took over that investigation last May when he was appointed by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.
The Wall Street Journal has identified the suspected informant as Stefan Halper, an American who was a foreign policy scholar at the University of Cambridge until 2015. Mr. Halper couldn't be immediately reached for comment.
The Journal made no agreements to withhold his name from publication and is one of several media outlets identifying him. Some lawmakers and law-enforcement officials have expressed concern about compromising sources for the investigation, saying it could put lives in danger, hurt investigations and damage international partnerships.
The move by the deputy attorney general to follow an extraordinary order by the president to probe an investigation into his own campaign is the latest turn in a struggle between the White House and the Justice Department. Mr. Trump has more than once considered firing Mr. Rosenstein and Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who have survived in their roles in part by meeting the demands of the president or his supporters in Congress. Mr. Rosenstein oversees the Russia investigation.
Mr. Trump has railed against the investigation regularly in the year since it began and has stepped up his attacks in recent days. He and his lawyers have seized on reports about the informant as evidence in their view that the probe isn't about Russia's efforts to influence the election but rather a partisan attack leveled by a Democratic administration.
Former law-enforcement officials have said informants in a probe involving a presidential campaign should only be used for law-enforcement or foreign-intelligence purposes, not for political ends.
The president's latest attacks come as his lawyers are seeking to negotiate the terms of a possible interview with Mr. Mueller, who already has indicted or secured guilty pleas from 19 individuals in the investigation, on charges including lying to investigators and tax and bank fraud.
Mr. Halper met with Trump campaign aides Carter Page and Sam Clovis, according to their lawyers. Mr. Page had been on the radar of U.S. counterintelligence officials for years over his dealings with Russia, and Mr. Clovis has met with Mr. Mueller's prosecutors over his involvement with a onetime campaign adviser who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his contacts with Russians. Neither Mr. Page nor Mr. Clovis have been accused of wrongdoing.
Mr. Page confirmed the encounter, and a lawyer for Mr. Clovis said that he and Mr. Halper had only discussed China.
Presidents typically avoid ordering the Justice Department to undertake certain investigations and usually refrain from commenting on any ongoing probes to avoid the appearance of meddling in an investigation.
Mr. Trump has made no such efforts. He has attacked the Mueller investigation as a "witch hunt"—issuing seven tweets on the subject on Sunday morning alone—and has accused Mr. Mueller, a registered Republican, of having partisan motives. The special counsel is investigating possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia, as well as whether the president sought to obstruct justice. Mr. Trump has denied collusion and obstruction, and Moscow has denied election meddling.
The president has repeatedly alleged wrongdoing in the Russia investigation in the past. In March 2017, he said he "just found out" that former President Barack Obama had ordered a wiretap on Trump Tower before the election, adding that Mr. Obama was a "bad (or sick) guy." That assertion was widely discredited.
The president's lawyers also have sought to use recent revelations about the alleged informant's contacts with Trump campaign aides as a bargaining chip as they negotiate with Mr. Mueller's team over the conditions of a possible interview with Mr. Trump.
The president's legal team previously has offered a number of end points they expected for the Mueller probe. Last year, Mr. Trump's lawyers repeatedly said they expected the probe to close by the end of 2017. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUdqY5qoYDgeESlo5k | Q: jquery detecting the click event <?php
while($i<10){
$roll_no++;?>
<h4 onclick='alert("Roll No.=$roll_no")'><? echo ucwords($name);?></h4><div>
<table class='accor'>
<tr><td>Roll No.</td><td>: <? echo $roll_no;?></td></tr>

this is my code and from code all are nearly clear.
i'm not using any id or class as if the $i goes up to 100, with all the dynamic ids created, it'll be dificult to handle i guess.
how can i show the alert with the proper roll no. under each h4 clicked. like
**Jack**
Roll No.: 125
**Jill**
Roll No.: 127
when the user clicks on jack alert will show 125 and when he clicks on jill the alert will show 127
A: <?php
$roll_no = 0;
$i = 0;
while($i<10){
$roll_no++;
?>
<h4 onclick="javascript:alert('Roll No.=<?php echo $roll_no;?>')"><?php echo ucwords($name);?></h4>
<?php

}?>
A: You should be using jquery's events :
Demo
<?php
while($i<10){
$roll_no++;?>
<h4 class="clickMe" data-name="<?php echo $name;?>" data-rollno="<?php echo $roll_no?>"><? echo ucwords($name);?></h4><div>
<table class='accor'>
<tr><td>Roll No.</td><td>: <? echo $roll_no;?></td></tr>
</table></div>"
<?
$i++;

Script :
$('.clickMe').click(function(e){
var $obj = $(e.target);
var name = $obj.data('name');
var rollno = $obj.data('rollno');
alert(name+"\n\nRoll No : "+rollno);
});

BkiUd53xK7kjXLSrGDP0 | Eurasian Marsh-Harrierplumage variable. Male generally brown above particularly on back, underparts streaked, but solid dark brown at least on belly and vent. plumage becomes progressively paler with age. Female averages larger, usually brown with yellowish cream crown, throat and forewing. All dark or melanistic morph in some adults. Race harterti has much paler underparts than nominate.
This species is a bird of swamps, marshes, flood plains or rice fields and reed beds. On migration it is much less likely to be seen in dry open grassland than other harriers and principally follows river valleys or coasts, though it must cross dry areas sometimes. ln its winter quarters it is often very common, e.g. in rice fields in South India.
During courtship the male carries out spectacular aerobatics over the nest and surrounding area. He soars in high circles, sometimes flying with exaggerated wing beats, and occasionally calling. Sometimes the pair display together, when he dives down at her and she rolls over to present her talons. The nest is well hidden in the dense reed bed or other thick vegetation in shallow water. The female takes about 10 days to build the pile of sticks, reeds and grass that serves as a nest. Meanwhile, the male makes a platform for resting and feeding. Both parents add material to the main nest during fledging. The female incubates for 31-38 days per egg, usually starting with the first. The male provides for the female near the nest. For the first week or so the chicks are brooded by the female, who feeds them beak-to-beak, but later they feed themselves in the nest, often with some ferocity, especially if the female is not very attentive. During lean times the bigger chicks may kill and eat their smaller siblings. The male brings food in the typical harrier way, dropping it for the female to catch in the air. As the young develop, the female helps with the hunting. She can rear the brood on her own if her mate is killed or deserts her. After a month or so the chicks scatter into the surrounding vegetation. They fledge at 35-40 days. The male soon leaves after that, but they usually remain with the female for a further 15-25 days.
Mainly migratory in Northern & Eastern Europe and Central Asia; sedentary and dispersive in South of breeding range. Northern breeders winter from France and North Africa through Mediterranean to Turkey, Middle East and Nile Valley, and South to sub-Saharan Africa. Easternmost Asian populations winter in Indian Subcontinent and Sri Lanka.
Migration in Western Europe begins with young birds of the year in mid-August, followed by adults in September and October. Males migrate later than females and young, and arrive in wintering grounds later. The rate and extent of migration varies according to the place of origin, northern birds leaving earlier, moving faster and travelling further than do birds from Southern Europe, which may remain most of the winter quite close to their breeding areas. The southern migration from Europe follows well-marked routes through Gibraltar or the Bosphorus, and rarely crosses large bodies of water; they may reach high altitudes up to 9,000 feet when crossing mountain passes on migration, but usually favour low ground.
Northward migration begins again in February and March, and both at this time and in autumn they are more gregarious than usual, roosting communally in swamps like some other harriers, with up to 300 together in some races. The northward migration frequently crosses the Mediterranean, so that evidently they can cross large bodies of water if necessary. Returning birds arrive in their breeding haunts from late March onwards, as late as early May in the northern parts of the range. They generally migrate singly or in small parties, not in large flocks, but often roost gregariously even when hunting singly. In winter quarters the same individuals may frequent the same area for weeks at a time. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 1 |

She was sitting on an airplane going to her next movie shoot when she happened upon this website via her laptop and read all of your posts, turns out she's a huge star wars fan as well . She sent an e-mail to the movie producer telling him she would not be there for the shoot and to hire someone else, as she had to go on a mission to find this Duncan man and devote her entire life to his happiness. Unfortunatly the plane crashed, and there were no survivors.
But... they say it is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all, so don't take it too hard Duncan.

Cay stepped out into the coming twilight. The sound of the tavern lessened behind her as the door closed, and the sound of the streets filled her ears. It seemed to Cay that some nights the streets became more filled in the first few hours of darkness instead of emptying out, this was one of those nights. Everywhere she looked she saw some poor derelict that called Drasnia home, and in each of them for a fleeting second she thought she saw the face of one of her new companions.
They hated her, just as the rest of the world hated her. She would not be surprised if they did follow her tonight. Silently she cursed herself for not only offering up her place to do the murder, but for marking it out on a map for them. Now they knew were she stayed, she would have to keep an extra careful watch tonight, perhaps stay somewhere else, in case one of them felt it necessary to act.
Then the twin� little respect for those who use their bloodline for dominance? They were all the same, tainted mixed blooded girls, what bloodline could Cay possibly hold over her head? And Cay had not appointed herself leader, she had simply suggested a plan that made more sense than burning up the Inn� But even if she had Spite did not seem to suggest that it should be otherwise, at least not now, the woman double talked herself. Then again good prostitutes were known for that, so it only fit.
The other twin, though� the silent one. Cay had complimented her, and the girl did not respond with even a flicker of the eyes, the girl worried her. But enough of that, she reminded herself that she had work to do, then she would worry about where she was going to stay tonight, and how she was going to handle these companions. She made her way back toward the docks, boiling over with anger with every step. The anger gave her something to focus on for the moment, but it also clouded all other thoughts and sights from her full view.
�Hey! Watch where yer going!!� A feminine voice called out suddenly and broke through the veil of anger surrounding Cay. Stopping she looked to see where the voice came from.
It was an elven girl, and by the slight outfit she wore along with the heavy makeup Cay assumed she was one of the ladies of the night around these parts. The girl had her hands on her hips and looked straight at Cay with an disapproving look. Cayrimisa didn�t even think, the dagger she had stabbed the table with was still in her hand, and in a second it was out in the open again. She held it between them and stared back at the elf with contempt.
Rolling her eyes and tossing her hair back the girl replied �Yeah right�� then took another look at Cay, at the two dark eyes that peered out from under the brim of her hat and decided that it would be best not to test it any further, stepped aside and then proceeded down the street.
Cay watched her go, and thought to herself that someday the crowds here would part in her wake in fear� but until then� she made her way to the Goblin.

What do you know about him? And of course as always I�ll make it worth your while�� She smiled at Ovelia and waited for her to respond.

BkiUcVPxK7Ehm4VQu28A | Most students take to university life straight away. However, if you ever feel your son or daughter would benefit from some extra help or advice, here at Leeds Beckett University we have a number of services in place to provide the support they need.
Priscilla Preston, our Director of Student Services, addresses some of the common questions parents ask us.
How will I know if my son or daughter is okay?
The first thing to say is that if anything does go wrong for your son or daughter, the support is here to help them.
Try not to worry if they haven't been in touch for a while – they're most likely to be so busy settling into university life that they've forgotten to return your call. If you can, arrange a regular time to call them to keep in touch. Text messaging is also a quick way to keep in touch if they are busy.
If my son or daughter needs support, who will be there to help?
There is a wealth of support on campus from various teams, each one working to ensure our students have the best possible experience. Whatever advice or support they may need, we have people on hand who they can talk to.
You can encourage them to speak with their Course Administrator or Academic Advisor within their Academic School, or the Student Experience team, based in the Student Hubs at City and Headingley and in the Gateway in the Leslie Silver building at City Campus.
The Student Experience team includes a number of recent Leeds Beckett graduates who know first-hand the variety of support a student may need. They will listen to your son or daughter's concerns and help offer them advice and support. Where appropriate, the team can also make appointments with, or referrals to, a wide range of specialist services such as Accommodation, Disability, Money, Students' Union and many more.
What if my son or daughter is too scared to contact someone about wellbeing support?
An appointment with a member of our Student Wellbeing Team can be arranged online to raise any concerns in a more anonymous fashion prior to a face-to-face meeting. The website also offers access to many useful self-help tools.
In accommodation our halls managers and residential staff are on hand to help and will contact the Student Wellbeing Centre if they feel your son or daughter would benefit from extra support. Friends in halls can also get in touch if they are concerned about a roommate.
Prepare yourself for the drop-off day. It can be quite emotional, so think about the practicalities of getting home. Take a break before driving if you're on the verge of a good cry.
Get them a few decent cook books. A great website to get started in the kitchen is www.beyondbakedbeans.org.
A few passport pictures of your son or daughter will come in handy. As will their National Insurance number, passport and copy of their birth certificate and qualifications if they're looking to work while they are here. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 4 | 1 |

Danville, Va., July 13, 2018 — A new fast-track aluminum welding class at Danville Community College is helping students find good local jobs after just a few weeks of study.
Six students who recently completed the first eight-week Welding GMAW class at DCC have already been hired by Amthor as the company expands its operations in Gretna. They are: Brandon Betterton, Steven Gauldin, Sheila Hughes, Stormy Hendrickson, Anthony Long, and Noah Richardson.
Amthor Operations Manager Ronnie Farmer, who started with the company as a tank welder when it began 25 years ago, teaches the non-credit welding course.
"We had a lot of fun. They applied their lessons really well," he said of his first class.
Farmer will be teaching a second evening course 5-8 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays, August 27 – October 17 in DCC's newly constructed welding facility, which features all new state-of-the-art equipment. Grant funding is available to qualifying students to cover tuition and may also be available for supportive services such as transportation assistance, child care, tool/uniform purchases, résumé assistance, and more.
There are no prerequisites for this course. The ideal student is interested in welding, likes to work with their hands, and wants to learn new skills. Students are encouraged not to miss any classes because of the fast pace of the training and the shortened length of the course.
Students who successfully complete the course will earn a GMAW Certification from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and are encouraged to apply for employment with Amthor International.
While taking the class does not guarantee an interview or employment, "Ronnie knows what Amthor needs and tailors his instruction accordingly," said Amthor Human Resources Manager Adrienne James, noting that the company recently announced its expansion and has a need to hire more skilled workers, primarily in welding.
To gain additional skills, students can sign up for the full welding certificate or diploma program at DCC. More information on these programs can be found at www.danville.edu.
After completion of the course, students are encouraged to apply for employment at Amthor International. Students must go through normal hiring procedures including application, weld test, interview, background check, and drug screening. Amthor International does not guarantee employment or an interview after completing the course. Amthor International is an equal opportunity employer.
For more information on the course, grant funding, or to sign up, contact DCC FastForward Career Coach Chadrick Younger at 434.797.8573 or chadrick.younger@dcc.vccs.edu.

View Full Version : Recommendations for B&W negative intensifier needed.
Finally ran out of my favorite intensifier - Smith Victor Intensifier. I believe it was a mercury intensifier and was discontinued many years ago for that reason. No bleaching of the negative required, simply just mix up the intensifier and treat the negative with it and final wash. Are there any other intensifiers out there that are this simple to use? I have thin negatives that were shot in the 1970s, treated with Smith Victor Intensifier, and still very much printable today.
There are plenty of intensiers, but they are formulas you have to mix yourself. Kodak, GAF, and Ilford had several without mercury. They used chromium, silver, etc. I'm sure if you do a search on this forum that you will find lots of them.
The simplest method of intensifying today if you want more than an additional stop is to tone the negative.Any toner works, but sepia will provide 2-2 1/2 stops increase. If you don't want to bleach te negative,give selenium 1+4 a go.
You can also use Selenium 1:1.
Check Photographer's Formulary. They have intensifier kits, or did. See also "The Darkroom Cookbook" by Anchell and Troop. | c4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | 2 |

BkiUdvnxK7FjYEB4V6We | Earth Plastic View
Branislav Smon
The artist Branko Šmon's "Earth Plastic View" Matterhorn Art Project visualizes the current volume of plastic worldwide – approx. 7 billion tonnes, which in granule form extends over an area of some 14km³. This special extent corresponds to the volume of the Matterhorn within the mountain massif.
Branko Šmon transcends the boundaries of traditional art.
The "Earth Plastic View" Art app developed for the project takes the experience of art into a new dimension. The real-world natural horizon and the "digital horizon" blend to form a controversial new entity. The various functions of the "Earth Plastic View" Art app render the magnitude of the volume of plastic at the Matterhorn tangible to the user.
The app works at seven look-out points at the Matterhorn and shows the extent of the volume of plastic at the Matterhorn. The red line marks the limit of this proliferation in 2019, while the orange line indicates the level forecast for 2035. The aim is to depict the inconceivable volume of plastic through the application of augmented reality within a real-world landscape, thereby opening up a new level of perception.
The app provides a fun way of raising awareness of the issues involved and enables the scale of the global volume of plastic to be appreciated on a visual level through interactive functions. It offers a multidimensional art experience which adds a virtual level to the real-life experience of the Matterhorn.
The photo function allows anyone to become part of the art by photographing themselves with the superimposed lines. The EPV art filter aims to prompt users to spread the project's message globally. A realistic animation at the Matterhorn helps to impart a deeper understanding of the extent of the global volume of plastic. It also provides information about the art project, the artist and the environmental issues relating to plastic.
The app can also be used worldwide, thus propagating Branko Šmon's artistic message to create a new awareness on the plastic issue.
For every purchase, €1 is donated to innovative projects and sustainable solutions for plastic.
Discover the "Earth Plastic View" Art app with interactive functions:
• Photo function
Take a photo in front of the Matterhorn with superimposed lines, which frame the volume of the global amount of granulated plastic.
• Topview
3D perspective to experience the growth of the global volume of granulated plastic at the Matterhorn.
The animation shows a Matterhorn plastic transformation in a cosmic view. The animation is superimposed on the real Matterhorn.

BkiUb7zxK3YB9m3uuXM2 | Work & Wages: U.S.
Separate Facilities for Wage Deniers
Dave Seyler, writing in the Outer Banks Beacon, takes aim at North Carolina's Republican senators Richard Burr and Thom Tillis on their opposition to living wages.
If we get our way, one day Senators Richard Burr and Thom Tillis will fight their way out of their Washington office suites, tunneling through mountains of waste and scuzz, and visit the inviting and picturesque Outer Banks. Here, they will enjoy a plate of undercooked, unshelled, sand-vein-still-in shrimp before sharing their unmade dirty-sheet hotel bed with a collection of the finest insects the Eastern United States has to offer.
Why do they deserve such a fate? It's this simple: Those who don't think workers in the various Outer Banks service industries deserve a living wage do not themselves deserve to work in a sanitary office, get prompt and courteous service at a local restaurant, or stay in a clean hotel room. Here or anywhere.
The Democratic Party's Better Deal runs with the concept of a $15 per hour minimum wage. If one works 40 hours a week for 52 weeks, that's $31,200, which isn't a lot of money. It's a paycheck-to-paycheck level of compensation that is very difficult to live on in this day and age. Yet it's far more than most Republicans are willing to go.
Thus far in the U.S. Congress, Republicans have been unwilling to budge from the current minimum wage of $7.25 an hour, or $15,080 per year—a sum nobody could live on. At that wage, a person would have to work 96 hours per week to afford a two-bedroom apartment in North Carolina. Allowing 49 hours per week for sleeping, that would leave 23 hours for living and playing.
Where do Burr and Tillis stand? According to Michael de los Santos of the Raleigh News & Observer, Burr has been a consistent opponent of attempts to increase the minimum wage. And according to John Frank of the Charlotte Observer, Tillis called an Obama proposal to raise it "dangerous."
We've heard it suggested by Republicans that individuals are responsible for getting the knowledge and skills they need to move up the economic ladder. But the Republicans don't explain how people are supposed to do that when they're working endless hours at low-paying jobs while the cost of higher education continues to skyrocket.
But let's follow this to its logical conclusion. Let's say everybody gets an education and somehow lands a better job despite their current local scarcity. Nobody would be left to do the service jobs! It would be a classic case of too many chiefs, with a full brigade of owners and managers running around trying to give orders to a workforce that doesn't exist.
But this conservative pipe dream where everybody works hard and achieves a decent-paying job is impossible. Even if 100% of the U.S. workforce earned at least a bachelor's degree, the jobs we're talking about would still need to get done, and some college-educated Americans would have to wait tables, make beds, and so on.
The people who do this hard but vital work and keep the local economy humming along deserve a living wage for their effort. And that includes access to affordable and reasonably close housing, as well as adequate health care. It is only fair. It is only humane.
Employees should not be treated as a commodity—a cost of doing business that needs to be kept as low as possible in the interests of fattening profit margins and pleasing shareholders.
The grotesque failure of the capitalist system in its current state is tantamount to telling every member of the working class that his or her value is on a par with brooms and silverware and soap. The system's failure is condemning tens of millions of workers to an existence at or below the poverty line.
In the end, since North Carolina's two senators exhibit no appreciation for the dignity of labor, they do not deserve to benefit from its fruits. Burr and Tillis and those who agree with them should live their lives surrounded by rotting garbage, eating food that is potentially life-threatening, and retiring to a bed laden with vermin and filth of every description.
Then again, perhaps Mr. Tillis would thrive in such an environment. He famously suggested that rules requiring restaurant workers to wash their hands after using the restroom was an example of government overreach.
To each his own, Mr. Tillis. To each his own. | commoncrawl | 4 | 2 | 5 | 5 |

BkiUflU5qhDCjWqnREJ0 | There are a number of potential financing choices out there to cash-strapped companies that want a wholesome dose of working capital. A financial institution mortgage or line of credit score is commonly the primary choice that house owners consider – and for companies that qualify, this can be the best choice.
In immediately's unsure enterprise, financial and regulatory surroundings, qualifying for a financial institution mortgage might be troublesome – particularly for start-up corporations and people who have skilled any sort of monetary problem. Generally, house owners of companies that do not qualify for a financial institution mortgage resolve that in search of enterprise capital or bringing on fairness buyers are different viable choices.
However are they actually? Whereas there are some potential advantages to bringing enterprise capital and so-called "angel" buyers into your enterprise, there are drawbacks as effectively. Sadly, house owners generally do not take into consideration these drawbacks till the ink has dried on a contract with a enterprise capitalist or angel investor – and it is too late to again out of the deal working capital finance.
One downside with bringing in fairness buyers to assist present a working capital increase is that working capital and fairness are actually two various kinds of financing.
Working capital – or the cash that's used to pay enterprise bills incurred throughout the time lag till money from gross sales (or accounts receivable) is collected – is short-term in nature, so it ought to be financed through a short-term financing software. Fairness, nonetheless, ought to typically be used to finance speedy progress, enterprise enlargement, acquisitions or the acquisition of long-term property, that are outlined as property which are repaid over a couple of 12-month enterprise cycle.
However the greatest downside to bringing fairness buyers into your enterprise is a possible lack of management. While you promote fairness (or shares) in your enterprise to enterprise capitalists or angels, you're giving up a proportion of possession in your enterprise, and chances are you'll be doing so at an inopportune time. With this dilution of possession most frequently comes a lack of management over some or the entire most essential enterprise selections that have to be made.
Generally, house owners are enticed to promote fairness by the truth that there's little (if any) out-of-pocket expense. Not like debt financing, you do not normally pay curiosity with fairness financing. The fairness investor positive factors its return through the possession stake gained in your enterprise. However the long-term "value" of promoting fairness is all the time a lot larger than the short-term value of debt, when it comes to each precise money value in addition to mushy prices just like the lack of management and stewardship of your organization and the potential future worth of the possession shares which are bought.
1. Full-Service Factoring – Companies promote excellent accounts receivable on an ongoing foundation to a business finance (or factoring) firm at a reduction. The factoring firm then manages the receivable till it's paid. Factoring is a well-established and accepted methodology of short-term different finance that's particularly well-suited for quickly rising corporations and people with buyer concentrations.
2. Accounts Receivable (A/R) Financing – A/R financing is a perfect resolution for corporations that aren't but bankable however have a steady monetary situation and a extra numerous buyer base. Right here, the enterprise gives particulars on all accounts receivable and pledges these property as collateral. The proceeds of these receivables are despatched to a lockbox whereas the finance firm calculates a borrowing base to find out the quantity the corporate can borrow. When the borrower wants cash, it makes an advance request and the finance firm advances cash utilizing a proportion of the accounts receivable.
three. Asset-Primarily based Lending (ABL) – This can be a credit score facility secured by all of an organization's property, which can embrace A/R, tools and stock. Not like with factoring, the enterprise continues to handle and gather its personal receivables and submits collateral reviews on an ongoing foundation to the finance firm, which can evaluation and periodically audit the reviews. | c4 | 4 | 3 | 5 | 4 |
BkiUdhA5ixsDMO6yuMME | Wear Coats, Shoes, and Accessories with Style
1. Dry-Clean a Dress Coat Before You Store It for the Season
"When you wear a garment for even 5 minutes, it becomes moth bait because insects love perspiration, body oil, fragrance, and food, " says author Steve Boorstein. When you pull a clean coat out 9 months later, it's like you just brought it home from the store, with no credit-card bill attached.
2. Grab a Weekend Bag Before 2 p.m. on Friday
Leave for a weekend getaway by early afternoon to avoid the heaviest traffic, which is between 2 and 6 p.m., according to the Federal Highway Administration. If you can't fit everything into a weekend bag, you're packing too much. "Men tend to overpack reading material and shirts, " says Men's Health travel detective Peter Greenberg. "Pack only what you can't buy on the road, and unless you're doing a weekend in Khartoum, that's not much. " Of course, never forget these two essentials: a black or navy blazer and a tie. You just never know when you'll get an invitation, or a summons.
3. Wear a Casual Overcoat After 5 p.m. (and All Weekend Long)
"Or, more simply, whenever you're in casual clothes, " says Brian Boyé. Nothing screams fashion neophyte louder than a guy in a suit and a waist-length down coat. That said, it's possible to stylishly break this rule, provided your outerwear is longer than your suit coat. In fact, they do it on the runway all the time. You might try pairing a long parka with your suit and tie, for example. Just don't make a habit of it, or it'll seem clueless instead of daring.
4. Replace Your Watchband Before It Falls Off
And you run over it with the lawn mower.
A genuine leather band should last as long as the watch, but only if it stays dry—so always take your watch off before exercising. Sweat will add moisture and stink. Replace reconstituted leather bands when you see surface cracks, and resin or rubber sports-watch bands when you see signs of decreased flexibility. "If you bend the band and it doesn't easily return to its regular flat shape, it could break soon, " says David Wimer, a product engineer at Timex.
5. Thank Your Shoes Today
You probably didn't know these feet facts, but the American Podiatric Medical Association does:
1. Eighty-five percent of men spend more than 2 hours a day on their feet.
2. The 18-to-24 and 70-to-74 age groups spend the most time standing.
3. White men spend less time on their feet (65 percent for more than 4 hours) than African Americans (75 percent) or Hispanics (74 percent) . . . All of which are reasons everybody needs to pay attention to the shoes that are supporting all that weight. | commoncrawl | 5 | 1 | 4 | 1 |

BkiUcNjxK4sA-9zR_o3G | In the run-up to Easter, Windsor Fellowship will be having a series of three talks entitled "Big Questions." These sermons will be aimed at answering some of the most common objections to the Christian faith and will be an excellent opportunity for all of us to invite friends.
However, besides inviting friends, this is a great chance to ask people "if you could ask God one question, what would it be?" It could be the starting point for some very interesting conversations!
Saturday, 27 February – Men's Breakfast at the George Inn on Eton High Street. 8:15-9:45 am. Dirk Booy of World Vision will be leading a discussion on Christians and poverty.
Sunday, 28 February – Please plan to stay after the service for a church-wide meeting where we will update you on the direction of the Fellowship.
Our next prayer focus evening will be on Wednesday, 16 March at 7:30 pm. Please come along to Beech House, Hermitage Lane, SL4 4AZ and join us in prayer for WF, our community and the world.
Just as an update, there were 14 young people at the social last Friday. It's exciting to see God at work in the lives of these teens!
Rediscover Faith – New Venue Launch!
The Week: Get up, sort out the kids, rush out, get to work, get home, grab some exercise, attempt some parenting, collapse, repeat.
The Weekend: Kids won't let you sleep in, football, rugby, ballet, tutors, dinner party. Try exercise, find some "me" time, put out financial fires, sync with the spouse, psyche up for Monday.
We work on our professional skills; we invest time with friends and family; we cycle/run/work out/walk to keep fit. But what about the bigger stuff in life? What about key life questions surrounding origin, meaning, morality and destiny?
The Windsor Fellowship is a new initiative within the Church of England that gives people an opportunity to explore the Christian faith in an informal setting. Designed for those of all beliefs and none – and for those with intellectual objections and heartfelt concerns about the Christian worldview – Windsor Fellowship aims to bring meaningful discussion and answers to some of the many questions that people are asking.
Our new venue is the Windsor Youth and Community Centre behind the police station on Alma Road, SL4 3HD. On Sunday, 4 October at 4pm we will launch at this new location, but you are welcome to come on any Sunday at 4pm. Services are followed by tea, cake and chat.
Come join us on the journey to Rediscover Faith.
Our first meeting at the Windsor Youth and Community Centre was very "buzzy"! Thanks to everyone who came along to help set up and clean up. We were very encouraged by how smoothly things ran and how positive the atmosphere was.
Plus, our new study of 1 John was encouraging. We learned that although we all still fall short of what we know we ought to be, God is gracious and forgiving towards his children. All God requires is a contrite heart that seeks Him out in faith. May we endeavour to seek Him more.
Thanks to everyone who has signed up for the various tasks on the rota and to Muffie Shepherd for pulling it all together. If you missed seeing the sign up sheet and would like to be more involved, please do get in touch via email or speak to one of the leaders on Sunday. As we all know, many hands make light work!
There will be a youth service at Latimer Minster on Sunday, 27 September at 6:30 pm. All of the teenagers are very welcome to attend and we will be organising lifts. Please contact Janice to let us know if you'd like to come along.
The 4th of October will be our official launch at our new location. The service will be extra visitor friendly and will be followed by a cream tea. Invitation cards are available—please invite your family and friends! | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUewk5qhLBeMNHlrT_ | A few weeks ago, we had a blast giving students from Lucerne Elementary Secondary School in New Denver, BC a sneak peek of the Sense of Place exhibition at the ArtStarts Gallery. The students were in town for a few days to visit Vancouver, and we were happy that ArtStarts was be one of the places they stopped on their trip.
Some of the students had taken part in two of the projects on display in Sense of Place: Telling the Stories of the Nikkei, a documentary filmmaking project undertaken by Lucerne Elementary Secondary School in New Denver, BC along with artists Moira Simpson and Catrina Megumi Longmuir; and The ABCs of Community, a printmaking project that students from Arrow Lakes Distributed Learning School in Nakusp, BC worked on with artist Morgen Bardati.
During the students' visit to the gallery, we were treated to some of inside stories behind the artwork, like the one about the Grade 3 student who was so inspired by her new printmaking skills that she made more on her own time and then sold them at a local farmers' market over the summer! Today we received a lovely photo from that student, Shanna, accompanied by artist Morgen Bardati, proudly displaying her artwork for sale at the market. Amazing work, Shanna!
What's more, after they returned home from their trip to Vancouver, the students from New Denver wrote an article for their local paper, The Valley Voice, about their visit and their involvement in the Sense of Place exhibition. Click the image below to read a larger version of the article.
Thank you to Lucerne Elementary Secondary School for a great visit, and for inspiring us with your creativity and initative! | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUd6c4uBhi_K2XMDCY | Девід Норман Дінкінс (; , Трентон, Нью-Джерсі — 23 листопада 2020) — американський політичний діяч, мер Нью-Йорка в 1990–1993. Єдиний чорношкірий мер цього міста за всю його історію.
Початок життя
Дінкінс народився в Трентоні (Нью-Джерсі) і виховувався своєю матір'ю і бабусею. Батьки розлучилися, коли йому було 7 років. Девід поїхав до Гарлему ще будучи дитиною, але по закінченні школи повернувся в Трентон, де її і закінчив, опинившись у списку 10 % найкращих учнів класу. Після школи він спробував вступити до Корпусу морської піхоти США, але не був прийнятий зважаючи на вичерпання расової квоти. Після короткочасної служби в іншому роді військ армії США, його все ж перевели в морські піхотинці.
Дінкінс отримав диплом з відміткою «з великою пошаною» від Говардського університету зі ступенем з математики та був членом студентського братства «Альфа Пі Альфа» — першого в історії міжколеджського братства афроамериканців.
Політична кар'єра
Дінкінс просувався по кар'єрних сходах в Демократичній партії в Гарлемі і став частиною досить впливової групи афроамериканських політиків, яка включала такі постаті як Герман Фаррелл, Персі Саттон, Бейз Петерсон і Чарльз Ренджел, троє останніх з яких, укупі з Дінкінсом становила відому «Гарлемську банду чотирьох». Як інвестор, Девід був одним з п'ятдесяти афроамериканських інвесторів, які допомогли Персі Саттону заснувати Inner City Broadcasting Corporation в 1971 році. Нетривалий час він служив у законодавчих зборах штату Нью-Йорк та багато років клерком в місті Нью-Йорку.
Девід був названий помічником депутата при Авраамі Д. Бімі, але зрештою так і не був призначений, так як був обраний президентом Манхеттенського округу в 1985-му на третє коло. Мером міста Дінкінс був обраний 7 листопада 1989, перемігши Еда Коча, який до того часу закінчував свій третій термін, ще двох кандидатів від демократів, а також Руді Джуліані, кандидата від республіканців.
Дінкінс був учасником корупційного скандалу, в якому були залучені ще кілька членів Демократичної партії в Нью-Йорку. Обвинувальні вироки кільком ключовим демократам дозволили Девіду обійти потенційних конкурентів по партії.
Під час його каденції також трапилися заворушення, влаштовані афроамериканцями, які переросли в погроми за національною ознакою в Краун-Хейтс, на півночі Брукліна (1990), які тривали кілька днів.

BkiUfIY5qhLBoPwGqwLb | Watch this charming video of how Thai farmer Somsak Sriphumthong got rid of a destructive opium field and helped curb deforestation and downstream flooding with his organic and sustainable coffee farm.
Somsak Sriphumthong is on a caffeine-fueled mission.
After years living and working abroad, the organic farmer and community leader returned to his native Thailand several years ago — during a time when the forests were being cleared for opium fields and rice plantations.
Seeking a sustainable alternative, he started growing and selling organic coffee beans on reclaimed land. Why coffee? Sriphumthong says he "didn't want to take advantage of society … or harm people" while earning a living.
As he explains in the video, coffee plants can coexist with the forest — reducing local pressure to contribute to global deforestation — and provide a steady stream of income for poor communities. And as an added bonus, the plant cover the coffee plants and remaining forest provide helps reduce downstream flooding during the rainy season.
To grow the coffee organically, Sriphumthong employs an intricate system of natural pest control.
He's now working with other communities in Chiang Mai province to expand organic coffee growing and raise awareness of the importance of protecting the forest.

BkiUd9I5qhLBU-R-y5kk | DNA replication is a fundamental process taking place within the nuclei of eukaryotic cells and is key to understanding how life functions. This Demonstration runs through a simplified version of DNA replication. There are three steps in this process. After selecting each step, move the slider. You will see how the DNA helix unwinds and uses the old DNA strand as a template to create two daughter helices.
Step 1: The parent DNA molecule unwinds, creating two template strands.
Step 2: The DNA molecule is unzipped, and parent DNA is used as a template to create two new strands. Identical strands are created by following the base pair rules: Adenine–Thymine and Guanine–Cytosine. Based on the nucleotide order on the parent strand, the complementary strand is made.
Step 3: The DNA zips up again and rewinds. Each new DNA molecule contains one parental strand and one new strand. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 4 | 2 |

that's very nice..Can't we try it with a few mm thick plywood or acrylic? cost is higher but in long term, will be better than styrofoam.
You may also drill the hinges onto these materials.
you can then stick those wallpaper on these for a neat look.

BkiUczzxK6Ot9V_E3lhx | The second season of Dollhouse launches tonight. Whedon promised a new direction with a greatly reduced budget. If I know Whedon, by this time, you care about the characters enough that conversations and dialogue can have at least as much impact as explosions. (I won't know for sure until I catch up on the Blu-Rays.) Is that the case here? Guest starring (for at least one episode, possibly more) Jamie Bamber of the latest Battlestar Galactica.
Good episode, character-wise. Plot-wise, I can't help but feel like everything's a let-down after the un-aired finale from last season. We know where the arc is going, but the characters are still fun. I care what happens to them, just hope they can keep the stories interesting enough, given that we pretty much know where this is going.
Alexis Desinof was in it, too!
I liked it, I didn't notice the reduced budget, either. Did anyone else?
I can't say I noticed any change. Having said that though I wonder if we'll be treated to a few "people arguing in a small room" episodes like we did with Galactica somewhere in the middle of the season.
Dr. Saunders mindgames with Topher was probably the highlight of the episode for me.
Agreed on both the "how can anything live up to the high note of the unaired ep" and Dr Saunders – Topher high points.. the Alpha-Ballard subplot is a bit grating – is it me or are Ballard's intentions unclear? | c4 | 3 | 1 | 4 | 2 |

BkiUc1jxK1yAga6Jrjb- | During May we recognize National Stroke Awareness Month. A stroke happens when the blood supply to an area of the brain is interrupted. Within minutes, brain cells begin to die because they are deprived of oxygen and nutrients.
Stroke is the fourth leading cause of death in the U.S. In fact, every four minutes someone in the U.S. dies from a stroke. Around 795,000 strokes occur each year. And while the good news is that the majority of people survive them, many are often left with significant disabilities.
The chance of stroke grows with age. For those 55 and over, the lifetime risk for stroke is greater than one in six.
The Alliance works with various partners to get out the word about stroke, including a task force focused on pushing for new treatment tools, forming expert consensus on the existing tools, and advocating for optimal treatment of AFib patients.
Our Silver Book site features statistics and facts about stroke.

Measuring the Influence of Social Mutations on the Precariousness of Women's Marriage, the "Dismarriage": Case of Niger Republic
Zourkaleini Younoussi, Yacoubou Alou
The South societies, under the influence of their Northern counterparts, have undergone profound familial changes; these transformations are translated in a reduction of the number of marriages and in making wedlock unions fragile along with the consequences that this entails on children. Drawing on the data from four Demographic and Health surveys (DHS) (1992, 1998, 2006, and 2012) which Niger has so far conducted, this study aims at verifying whether the influence of social transformations on the family in Niger can be captured through an examination of the increase in median age at the first marriage, in the proportion of single women (and definitive celibacy), in polygamous marriages, in couples living in consensual union (not in wedlock), in the proportion of children living with their single mother, and in that of the divorced/separated women. Our results show that though urbanization and education influence marriage, women's "dismarriage" is yet to be a topical issue. Thus, we notice an intensification of marriages which comes, however, with a slight increase in the age at first marriage. | commoncrawl | 4 | 4 | 5 | 3 |

Posted Tuesday, August 21, 2018 8:00 pm
"We have with us tonight a true writer," said Rocky Friedman, owner of the Rose Theatre, to a packed Starlight Room audience. "I know this because she gave me some of her bio to read. When she got here, she completely edited it."
The guest of the night Friedman was referring to was Kirsten "Kiwi" Smith, a Chimacum High School graduate and successful screenwriter, who has made a mark on the film industry with a platter of notable comedies.
Local touch
The film screened for the occasion was her second feature, "Legally Blonde," which she co-wrote with her writing partner Karen McCullah.
The screening was attended by her high school friends and parents, Katie and Mel Smith, of Port Ludlow, all of whom were jovial and excited to celebrate one of Smith's works.
Friedman posed a few questions about "Blonde," with the the eager audience asking about the third upcoming installment in the series. In vague terms and "yes" or "no" answers, Smith asked the audience to keep lips sealed.
Smith explained how she became involved with writing "Legally Blonde," as it was based on the Amanda Brown novel. Smith said her and McCullah got their hands on the source material of the same name, through several producers, who asked if they could adapt it with a pitch of a "Clueless" meets "The Paper Chase."
They read the novel and decided they could turn it into a movie, which was eventually sold to MGM for production. Smith recalled their pitch meetings, where the writing duo wore pink outfits just like the character of Elle Woods.
"It felt like a real blessing. It was the perfect bones of a story and great concept," she said to the Starlight Room audience.
Actress Reese Witherspoon came on the project once the screenplay received its final punctuation mark, only after a producer suggested singer Britney Spears could lead the film, garnering laughs from the Starlight Room audience. Witherspoon did not have to audition as she was coming off the heels of 1999's "Election," earning her a Golden Globe nomination.
She gave notes for a bit of rewriting to sharpen up the script before heading into filming.
With a wide array of comedy films, which have been embraced by third- and fourth-wave feminists, "Legally Blonde" is one Smith admires for its stance in culture. One of the points proving prophetic in more recent times in Hollywood was a parallel with the Me Too movement. At a point in the film, a male character who has authority over Witherspoon's career pushed for sexual favors, a story repeated in headlines during the past several years.
Smith said the inspiration for this third- act plot point was from hers and McCullah's experience in the industry in their formative years.
"It was a good story turn, and certainly never something we thought of as a political statement or social statement," she explained. "I'm excited to see that it's no longer something that happens and we just move on with it."
One of the most beloved scenes from "Legally Blonde" was when Witherspoon's Woods teaches her manicurist Paulette (Jennifer Coolidge) the "bend and snap" to woe a potential mate. This came from the need of a "second-act set piece."
With many scenarios thrown out, such as the salon getting robbed or another crime element, nothing stuck.
Smith then suggested a move Elle could teach Paulette, which was pitched to the producer and stuck. Smith was happy to demonstrate how she envisioned the seminal move on the outside of Rose Theatre, with a giggle after every time.
To bring the scene to life, Toni Basil, known for her 1981 hit "Mickey," was brought on as a choreographer. Smith was brought to Basil's dance studio to teach the dancers who would play the salon staff and clients, including Witherspoon and Coolidge, how to do the "bend and snap."
She also recalled when they made Elle's admission video to get into Harvard Law School, Smith took pride in the "I object" retort to a cat call after telling the camera she is "comfortable using legal jargon in everyday life."
Smith met her writing partner, McCullah, when she was working at a low-budget production company after college when she was sent one of her scripts. Impressed with one of McCullah's works, she asked if they could meet. In a restaurant, the pair started on a script that same night on cocktail napkins. Now, years later, Smith and McCullah try to write a screenplay once per year. Smith and McCullah did not have their hands in the second of the series, "Legally Blonde 2: Red, White and Blonde," but will return to write "Legally Blonde 3." She said it took more than three meetings during six years to finally get the third movie off the ground.
Sue Phillips, Smith's high school English teacher, was a formative personality throughout Smith's early years, giving her encouragement for her writing in every class Smith took from her.
Smith started out as a poet in high school and college, getting published in literary journals. Film became a passion when Smith frequented Port Ludlow Video from ages 10 to 18, poring over any movie she could rent from the rental service.
"I was a movie addict," she said, adding she would work at the store during summers and the local library.
Friedman and Smith's relationship spans back to when he was a maître d' at a Port Townsend restaurant before buying and re-opening the theater. Since then, The Rose has held special screenings for Smith's films, including "Legally Blonde' and "Ella Enchanted" upon release.
Her "She's the Man" screening was also paired with her first young adult novel, "Geography of Girlhood" in 2006, which was largely inspired by growing up in Chimacum, Port Ludlow and Port Townsend.
"It's cool to have a body of work that spans from 1999 to 2008 … different generations have their own favorite," Smith said.
As a working writer, Smith has had her hands in many projects, beginning with her first feature-length movie, "10 Things I Hate About You," in 1999. Though "Blonde" was screened on the night of Aug. 17 at the Starlight, "10 Things" was the film organizers were looking to screen the same night, but due to difficulties obtaining a print, organizers went with her second project.
"10 Things" holds a special place in Smith's heart as it was her first venture in the industry, as well as its ties to the Pacific Northwest, having been filmed in Tacoma.
When asked what other films she takes pride in, Smith pointed to 2006's "She's the Man" since she has noticed in recent years it has gained a following from college students and the younger generation.
Smith's writing career in feature movies also includes 2004's "Ella Enchanted," 2008's "The House Bunny," and 2009's "The Ugly Truth." She was also an executive producer of "Whip It" and "The Ugly Truth," and directed the 2008 short "The Spleenectomy."
"The House Bunny" will have its 10-year anniversary this year, which also has stuck with her as one of her favorite films to be a part of due to her collaboration with star Anna Faris, another Puget Sound local.
She has written two books, "The Geography of Girlhood" and "Trinkets," the latter of which will become a Netflix series set in Portland.
She has also written a comic book series with her fiance, Kurt Lustgarten, titled "Misfit City," which will also be turned into a live-action series.
They describe the project as a female "Goonies" with a "Stranger Things" feel.
Another comic book project is "Smooth Criminals," which Smith and Lustgarten are writing with Leisha Riddel.
Smith now has her hands in a new movie in the works with "Legally Blonde" director Robert Luketic for a film named "TMI," as well as working on the screenplay with McCullah for "Legally Blonde 3," which is slated for a 2020 release. | commoncrawl | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUdnU4eIfiUYvU1CHx | What is Enterprise Corruption: Understanding New York Penal Law 460.20 and the "Criminal Enterprise" Element
Even though RICO crimes are not prosecuted by the New York State Attorney General or by one of the many District Attorneys such as those in the boroughs of New York City, organized crimes does not get a pass in the State of New York. While large-scale schemes, whether they involve crews or organizations, routinely involve allegations of Money Laundering, Criminal Tax Fraud, Grand Larceny and other offenses, the underlying acts and how they violate the law are not always the central component of these prosecutions. Instead, even if the crime or crimes committed don't amount to a more serious felony, law enforcement in New York has a weapon in its enforcement arsenal that exposes an accused to significant incarceration post-indictment. This New York version of RICO is Enterprise Corruption, New York Penal Law 460.20.
One of the first questions an accused will ask his or her criminal lawyer when charged with any crime is whether or not he or she will go to prison or jail. While most crimes give a judge some flexibility, the same cannot be said for those convicted of Enterprise Corruption. What that means is a sentencing judge may have some latitude, but if you are convicted of PL 460.20 then incarceration is mandatory. Where discretion comes into play is if the judge sentences you to the one to three year minimum or up to the eight and one third to twenty-five year maximum prison sentence. With this in mind, it is of the greatest import that when given the opportunity to challenge an indictment for Enterprise Corruption you understand the basic elements of the crime to best challenge your arrest.
A, if not "the," key element of Enterprise Corruption that prosecutors must prove beyond a reasonable doubt is the existence of a"Criminal Enterprise." As defined by PL 460.10(3), a "Criminal Enterprise" is a group, crew or even a bunch of people who have a shared objective of engaging in criminal conduct. Additionally, this group cannot be a lose fit pseudo-organization but must be one with an "ascertainable structure" that engages in a pattern of criminal wrongdoing. Further, the purpose, structure and continuity of the organization must not solely relate to the specific crimes alleged in a particular indictment, but have a continued purpose beyond those acts. In other words, the purpose of the criminal enterprise must exist beyond the criminal act in question. Confused? That's OK and even expected. In fact, even if you fully grasp the brief explanation of a "Criminal Enterprise" for the purpose of Enterprise Corruption, you must also wrap your hands around the second term in that phrase, "Enterprise." A bit more straight forward, an "Enterprise," whether or not it is criminal, is comprised of at least one person that is either public or private and engaged in professional, social, business (yes, even illicit), or other activities.
At bottom, there are many moving parts that criminal lawyers must consider when examining a felony arrest or indictment involving Enterprise Corruption. With so much exposure, an accused would be foolish not to challenge such an allegation even if he or she is unable to defeat each and every underlying offense. Simply, success can mean the difference between mandatory imprisonment upon a conviction or plea and the possibility of never stepping foot in jail.

BkiUbb45qrqCykKvZnUv | MasterCard sets new standards for payroll cards
By: Associated Press December 13, 2013
PURCHASE, N.Y. — MasterCard has set new standards for its payroll cards, and says it says should help employees take better advantage of its benefits.
Payroll cards, which are similar to debit cards, are a means for an employer to pay employees. They typically are used as a way to deposit paychecks for workers who do not have access to a traditional checking account.
The cards have stirred controversy. Proponents say they are the equivalent of cash or checks and give people access to funds in a fashion they can easily use. But critics point to fees to use the cards as a burden on low-wage workers who receive them as payment.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau issued a warning to employers about such cards in September based on complaints about fees. And the New York Attorney General's office began looking into about 20 companies for use of such cards to pay employees to ensure they comply with consumer-protection laws.
MasterCard said Friday that its new standards will require employers to offer cardholders greater insight on the cards through educational resources and increased transparency of any fees. It says the standards ensure the employee has a fee-free way to access their pay and check available balances.
Payroll cardholders can access their full pay for free at least once per pay period under the new standards and employees will have a choice of how they are paid — by card, direct deposit or other means — as required by law.
"Payroll cards serve as one way to bring the traditionally underserved into the financial mainstream," Ron Hynes, group executive of Global Prepaid Solutions at MasterCard, said in a statement. "These standards will help ensure that employees not only understand the choices available, but allow them to take advantage of benefits like direct deposit, online shopping and bill payment that have not been traditionally available to them."
All new MasterCard payroll card programs will need to meet these standards as of July 1 and existing programs will have until Oct. 1, 2014 to make any necessary adjustments.

BkiUbgU5qoTDtofJ9JS8 | Anyone standing in the rain will get wet.
Jan is standing in the rain.
Pat is standing in the rain.
It's the internal structure of these propositions that make the reasoning valid.
But in propositional calculus we don't have anything else to talk about besides propositions!
Preciate symbols : If P is an n-ary predicate symbol and t1,…,tn are terms then P(t1,…,tn) is a formula.
Binary connectives : If φ and ψ are formulas, then (φ → ψ) is a formula. Same for other binary logical connectives.
Quantifiers : If φ is a formula and x is a variable, then ∀xφ and ∃xφ are formulas.
The Valuation function can be used for describing value assignments and constraints in case of nested quantifiers.
The Valuation function otherwise determines the satisfaction of a formula only in case of open formulae.
Next, determine the semantics for complex terms and formulae constructively, based on the basic interpretation mapping and the valuation function above.
Given is an interpretation I into a domain D with a valuation V, and a formula φ .
That means the interpretation function I into the domain D (with valuation V) makes the formula φ true.
Given a set of formulae Φ and a formula α .
α is true in every model in which Φ is true.
That means that for every model (interpretation into a domain) in which Φ is true, α must also be true.
Modus Ponens, Modus tollens etc.
Based on claiming 1.) that P is true, and 2.) the implication P → Q , we can conclude that Q is true.
We again make two claims. 1.) The implication P → Q, and 2.) that Q is false. We can conclude that P is false as well.
If P(c) is true, then ∃x P(x) is inferred.
Gödel proved that there exists a complete proof system for FOL.
Gödel did not come up with such a concrete proof system.
FOL is only semi-decidable : If a conclusion follows from premises, then a complete proof system (like resolution) will find a proof.
We cannot distinguish between the non-existence of a proof or the failure of an implementation to simply find a proof in reasonable time.
Does a proof simply take too long or will the computation never halt anyway?
Is Mary happy? Is she lucky?

E.g. Win(x, Lottery) or Win(x, y) ∧ Lottery(y)?

BkiUdWg5qoTA0iwhHUDR | In April 2013, Belgian locomotive no. 1203 left its home country. The former SNCB/NMBS dual voltage electric had started its journey to the Czech Republic. This is a story about the re-incarnation and re-allocation of an electric locomotive type, only possible thanks to an open European railfreight market and the creativity of a rolling stock manufacturer.
The 1203 was taken to the VUZ Velim test centre in Cerhenice for an extensive test and trial period that finally took around three years to complete. Goal was to determine to what extend the locomotive needed reconstruction and repair to fulfill its new purpose. The machines, and possible more units of its type, could be potentially useful in a new plan of Czech rolling stock manufacturer CZ Loko. The company developed the idea to adjust and rejuvenate the machine, using modern technology, so it would become interesting to operators in countries such as Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary. The SNCB/NMBS 1200 series could be perfect for this job, as these machines already were dual voltage machines for 3kV DC and 25kV AC voltage systems, ideal for (international) services in the countries mentioned.
If successful, CZ Loko was able to construct an almost-as-new multi system electric that would cost 30% less than a new locomotive with comparable characteristics. Interesting for the manufacturer, and interesting to operators from the region, who could hire or buy such a machine from CZ Loko.
CZ Loko decided to rebuild unit 1203 in 2014. It started with a comprehensive modernization of its traction components. At the same time, the frame, as well as the location of modules, were adjusted. It was CZ Loko's goal to maintain the machine's continuous rating at 3 MW, while its maximum speed would be reduced to 120 kph. In the end, only the frame, the body including cabs, the bogies and the traction motors of the original 1203 remained. All other parts en equipment has been replaced and modernized. Remarkable: the weight of the locomotive remained the same: 85 tonnes.
The first static tests with the former 1203 were performed in April 2016. In June the machine made its public debute during the Czech Raildays 2016 in Ostrava (CZ). It was presented in CZ Loko's corporate colors red and grey and renumbered as 365 001. CZ Loko gave the machine the product title 'EffiLiner 3000' where the number refers to its power rating (it is 2.910 kW to be precise).
The rebuild process was not yet fully complete at that moment the 365 001 was presented. CZ Loko expects the machine to be ready for duty in the Autumn of 2016. Meanwhile, CZ Loko states it has found a launching customer which means it will be reconstructing more locomotives. Therefore it was decided to transport the other 11 units from the 1200 series to the Czech Republic. 1201, 1202 and 1204-1212 left Stokkem (BE) on 04.03.2016 and arrived in Ceska Trebova (CZ) within three days. They then continued to Brodek near Prerov.
CZ Loko says it will not only selling the machines, but that some units will also become part of a rental pool. To be continued. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUdcw4ubnjosH9HW8b | Throughout the 20th century, Cord Meyer Development Company played a significant role in Queens development. The company's developments include Forest and Arbor Close, two contiguous blocks of Tudor Style attached single family residences completed in 1926-1927, and the landmark Lexington and Livingston Apartments. All of these projects were awarded a Certificate of Excellence in Design by the Queens Chamber of Commerce.
More recent developments include the Seminole and Balfour Apartments built in 1951 and 1957 respectively, the Continental and Forester Apartments erected in 1962 and 1965, and the Forest Hills Apartments completed in 1967. In the 1980s, the Company was well positioned to take advantage of the shift in the real estate market toward individual apartment ownership, and began the successful conversion of its apartment buildings into "co-ops".
The company's current projects include the renovation and renewal of several retail and mixed-use properties. Through these residential buildings and others, Cord Meyer Development Company contributes to the Greater New York Metropolitan Area as a stabilizing force in times of rapid change through decade upon decade of growth and prosperity.
When The "City of the Future" was built at the 1939 World's Fair in New York, the Cord Meyer Company had already been serving the people of Queens for over forty years, and the Meyer family had been an integral part of the community life for almost a century. By the early 1890's, Cord Meyer, Jr. had recognized that Queens would not remain a rural outpost or the limited preserve of a few wealthy landholders. He envisioned a vital, growing neighborhood with homes, schools, shops, and services. As a result, he purchased a farm in Newtown from Samuel Lord, co-founder of Lord & Taylor, and renamed the area Elmhurst. He laid out subdivisions and streets, installed sewers, and established trolley connections. The area prospered and inspired similar growth in the adjoining areas.
The family real estate firm was originally structured as a partnership with Cord's brothers, Christian and John, holding equal shares. In 1899, the partnership became a corporation: The Cord Meyer Company. As the Twentieth Century began, he pursued his interest in real estate. He acquired a substantial parcel of land in the Hopedale section of Whitepot, designed street layouts, introduced utilities, and built single family homes. Schools and shopkeepers soon followed, and as time unfolded, Cord named his town "Forest Hills." The creation of Forest Hills marked the advent of Cord Meyer Development Company, which was incorporated in December of 1904 with Cord Meyer, Jr. as its first president. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUdtI5qWTD6fkJgO9v | Goddess Lakshmi is called Shri, the feminine energy of the Supreme Being. She is the Goddess of wealth and prosperity. Worshipping her would attract good fortune, abundance into one`s life.
Goddess Lakshmi bestows 16 types of wealth: Fame, knowledge, courage and strength, victory, good children, valour, gold, gems and other valuables, grains, happiness, intelligence, beauty, higher aim, higher thinking, morality, good health and long life.
Goddess Lakshmi is worshipped in all Hindu households. The festive month of October is Lakshmi`s special month. Fridays are considered auspicious to worship the Goddess. Three days of Navratri - 4th,5th, 6th days - are highly meritorious to worship the Goddess and invite the wealth energies into one`s life.
Keep a picture or an idol of Goddess Lakshmi in the prayer room. Pray to her with deep sincerity. Recite Sri Sukta for 30 days and life will change. It is a composition of 15 verses and all desires are fulfilled by her mercy on its holy recitation.
Use Lotus seed mala or rosary for reciting the mantra. It is called Kamal Gatta mala. To get rid of poverty and have material gain this bead is used for daily worship as this pleases the Goddess immensely.
Light two ghee lamps every day with offerings of coconut, lotus flowers and kheer.
Every Friday, light an earthen lamp of ghee, using nine wicks of lotus stem. It attracts highly positive wealth vibrations and grants all kinds of material success.
Place cowries or sea shells in the place of worship to attract highly positive energies into the household.
Place a right handed conch shell or Dakshinavarti conch shell at home for worship. It is also called Sri Lakshmi Shankh .Blessings of Lakshmi flow out from the conch. Keeping the conch at home removes all negative vibrations surrounding the house. By its placement, Goddess Lakshmi removes sorrows and gives intelligence, success and worldly freedom.
The shell should be cleaned and placed on a cloth of color – white or yellow or red. Sometimes it is placed on a silver or clay pot. Water is collected in the conch shell and sprinkled during pooja.
Keeping this at home attracts wealth and prosperity and is closely associated with God Kubera.
Chant Lakshmi Dwadasa Stotra 12 times for 12 days to get free from debts, financial burdens. This stotra is very dear to Vishnu`s consort, Lakshmi.
Another way to please Goddess Lakshmi is by lighting a lamp and praying to tulsi plant. All the Gods reside in the place where a tulsi plant is grown. Fragrant agarbattis or incense can be lit to fill the atmosphere with pleasant vibrations. All wishes get fulfilled by worshipping tulsi and immense merit is accrued by paying obeisance to her.
Keep a bamboo flute tied with a silken cloth at home for peace and harmony. Flute is dear to Lord Krishna and Lakshmi is pleased when Lord Krishna (an incarnation of Vishnu) is pleased. It must be placed in the prayer altar for its auspicious vibrations that help promote unity of family and continuous flow of good luck into one`s life.
On Fridays, feed a cow with sweetened white rice to attract the grace of Mahalakshmi. All obstacles are removed and sins are destroyed. Immense wealth is obtained when cows are fed well.
Draw the footprints of Lakshmi by using raw rice flour in the pooja room to welcome her into the house.
Drawing the auspicious footprint of Lakshmi will invite the presence of Vishnu too. Both Lakshmi and Vishnu are inseparable. Their blessings will relieve one of all sins, curses and grant eternal blessings of good conduct, right living, virtues and abundance. Peace and wellbeing is assured.

BkiUdfE5qWTBLg9oTRyu | Damn this hurts… Now I can't move, which is ironic because moving is what got me here in the first place!
If you've ever practiced any sport whatsoever, or even if you just laughed for too long, you have experienced muscle fever!
Did you ever work on a muscle only to find the next day that it hurts like ****? Did you feel pain, soreness, especially when you flexed that particular muscle?
This occurs when you overwork a muscle past its capacity. Some say that triggers an elevation of lactic acids levels, other argue that breakdown of muscle fibers is to blame.
Nevertheless, one this is for sure! 24-72 hours after your workout you'll start feeling sore in that area; and the pain will subside in 3-5 days.
In my experience muscle fever can be excruciating! The bigger the muscle is, the grater the pain that comes from overworking it! But there are thing that help!
That's simple! Don't overwork you're muscle. Gradually build up strength and avoid the pain!
OK… you got carried away and you over trained. What now? Go for the sauna or take a hot bath. Heat really helps keep the situation under control.
Too late for prevention! How do I make the pain go away?
Now this is very important to understand! Everywhere you ask, will tell you to exercise that muscle to make muscle fever go away! That works! That works incredibly well actually! BUT (with a great emphasis on BUT) you should do that only after the worst has passed! Your muscle was strained, it's in pain and trying to repair itself…So until it shows sign that it's on the right track don't force it anymore! You can permanently damage that muscle if it doesn't get a chance to relax properly.
Ok then… Until the pains gives signs of subsiding you need to relax. Relax and gently massage your muscle. There are a lot of sport gels out there that help with this (you'll find them in any drug store).
As your muscle heals, you have to do your part too! Make sure you eat enough protein to sustain its repairs and growth, and give it enough sugar to do it. Although I don't support consuming sugar, it does have its uses. Sugar, honey, glucose or other stuff of that nature will kick start the healing process. Sustain it by eating bananas, melons and other sugary fruit!
After the pain starts to subside get that muscle working a little bit! Worm it up, use it and don't give up. I know it hurts, but this is going to get you through the whole process of healing a lot faster!
I don't know how their brain interprets that feeling but mine takes it like an actually very nice and relaxing feeling, which yes, kinda hurts a but, but it feels really nice, just like some massage performed by your own body.
And I guess I can say I am physically pretty active and am VERY PRONE to overrunning, overplaying with football(soccer) and similar, I really always put a lot of effort in whichever sport I play.
i am a very active person and give about 6 spinning a week personal training sessions and pilates! I took up a new sport on saturday call s.u.p and I have the worse case of muscle fever in all major muscles! Quads, gluts and hamstrings! It was so bad yesterday that I stayed in bed all day with body fever(not commen) and today Monday was unable to complete a spin class!!!! It hurts so much!!!!!!!
who writes this articles? To prevent muscle fever, drink a lemon, take an aspirin, and after take a hot bath (the aspirin has a slight blood thinning effect, the hot bath will make your blood circulate more which will not only feed the muscle tissue, it will also give it a large quantity of vitamin C from the lemon). Also, do some stretching and easy workout after, to increase blood flow to the affected muscles.
Rather than DOMS being the result of simply over using a muscle, it is the result of any amount of eccentric exercise. Training while you are experiencing DOMS is 100% fine, there is no proof at all that the muscle would be permanently damaged. After all we don't even know if it is the result of muscle damage or lactic acid build up, or any other theory that exists. Many bodybuilders aim for DOMS to confirm they have trained sufficiently, then repeat 2 days later.

Tivoli Ecoresort Praia do Forte offers state-of-the-art technology for its guests
By Daniel Brusaca5 mai 2016août 26th, 2021No Comments
A wide selection of TV Channels over IP and the great Wi-Fi coverage an AP per room can bring.
In Brazil, to the north of Salvador, Bahia, there is an idyllic place for lovers of Brazil ecotourism, which is both beautiful and luxurious. The Tivoli Ecoresort Praia do Forte is a 5-star Bahia hotel, with 287 apartments, where simple architecture is in harmony with the stunning scenery and the biodiversity of the surrounding area.
This is the amazing property that Nonius had the privilege to deploy state-of-the-art TV and HSIA Solutions.
TV & GIA/HSIA
With the completion of this captivating project, Nonius once again demonstrates its capacity to deploy Nonius solutions for any market segment and anywhere in the world.
This project was implemented by the Nonius Brazil team, in concert with our regional partners and in close collaboration with the hotelier, and it is the first of its kind in the region.
The digital services (TV and HSIA) are all deployed on top of a full IP infrastructure and each room was furnished with a set-top box that fully integrates with the TV and also acts as an in-room Wi-Fi Access Point.
The network that Nonius has designed along with the advanced TV headend and set-top boxes are capable of providing a great TV channel offer over the IP converged network.
The Nonius set-top box goes beyond basic TV. It single to none when it comes to Wi-Fi access point capabilities. Embedded APs are centrally managed and support advanced traffic control and security. It is key to provide solutions that are high quality and take in account price sensitive markets, which represent an important share of Nonius' worldwide coverage.
The services are contracted on OPEX model directly financed by Nonius, which is possible due company's strong financial position.
Nonius is grateful for the partnership that Tivoli Ecoresort has extended and the collaboration from team at the property.
With 12 properties in Portugal and 2 in Brazil, the Tivoli Hotels & Resorts group is one of the main hotel chains in Portugal offering around 3.000 rooms in four and five star category accommodation. Nonius' technology is deployed at several Tivoli hotels across these 2 countries.
"After the deployment of Nonius IPTV and Internet solutions, we were able to solve two problems that generated great dissatisfaction to our customers. Besides the quality of sound and image, Nonius Interactive TV solution offers a new experience to guests adding services and facilities."

BkiUdSA5qsBDEocIjCUD | Afflicting the Comfortable
Andy Kindler
By Steve Penhollow
For two decades and counting, Andy Kindler has regularly done one of the scariest and gutsiest things a comedian can do: He delivers an annual State of the Industry Address at the Montreal Just for Laughs Festival.
This is an opportunity for Kindler "to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable," as the old newspaper adage goes.
In other words, he skewers and lambasts the most powerful people in his own industry.
Jay Leno, Ricky Gervais and Adam Sandler are frequent targets.
Kindler performs April 7 at the Tiger Room in Fort Wayne.
Last year Kindler went after Louis C.K. at a time when Louis C.K. was popular with pretty much everybody.
Louis C.K. didn't respond to Kindler's remarks, but his fans sure did.
"With the Louis C.K. thing, I did get blowback," Kindler said, in a phone interview. "I got blowback even from people I know. I won't say who it is because I have enough trouble. Also, I worked it out. I've had arguments with friends of mine."
Kindler's beef with Louis C.K. (such as it is) is that Louis C.K. has cultivated an "aw shucks" persona that belies an ego and an ambition that are as large as anyone's.
People often accuse Kindler of sour grapes, but what really bothers Kindler is when a talented person is motivated by success (or the quest for it) to behave in cheesy or insincere ways.
One of the things about Leno that always bugged Kindler was how he would come out at the beginning of The Tonight Show and bask in applause, sometimes for as much as a full minute.
"If part of your show has to be you on camera being congratulated by the crowd, that says a lot about you," he said. "Leno did that, and Jimmy (Fallon) does that. Everybody who performs is needy. Everybody who performs wants the crowd to like them. But this is such a naked grab at audience support; I think eventually people see through that."
After the fuss over his Louis C.K. comments died down, Kindler said he had "something like a spiritual breakthrough."
"I used to feel like, 'Oh man, I have gotta justify why I am doing this,'" he said, referring to the State of the Industry Address, "And now I'm more like, 'Well, that's what the thing is - it's kind of like a roast of the business.'"
Kindler is adept at sniffing out B.S.
Four years before Fallon was widely condemned for a fawning Donald Trump interview, Kindler tweeted this: "'I heard you were responsible for like 30 million deaths. That's crazy.' Jimmy Fallon interviewing Stalin."
As much mileage as Kindler gets out of deflating pomposity, what really seems to bother him are racism and sexism, as is evidenced by his factious Twitter activity.
He is appalled by President Trump, but he tries to work out his rage on Twitter rather than in clubs, because anger isn't funny.
Trolls tend to accuse Kindler of envy, but it would be disingenuous to pretend that Kindler's comic credentials aren't sterling. His timing and facial expressions evoke those of Jack Benny, and he can pull late laughs out of jokes that seem to have fallen flat.
In his routines he is as hard on himself as he is on anyone else. He once described himself thusly: "(Like) Chris Rock, without the charisma, confidence and material."
Comedy hasn't made Kindler as wealthy as it has some of his loftier targets, but he doesn't sound bitter about it.
When you love something like he loves comedy, he said, there are a lot of pathways to success.
"It's always a trap when you have a dream that has to be so specific," he said. "There are so many different ways of doing stuff, and not everybody is going to have their own sitcom. And if you had your own sitcom, maybe you wouldn't like it."
Kindler, 60, said that he genuinely enjoys touring more than he ever has.
"I could lie to you, but why would I lie?" he said. "Maybe because Trump is president now. The truth is, I really do love standup comedy now more than I ever did. I don't know why I think nobody's going to think I am being honest."
It may be that rock musicians make their best stuff when they're young and angry, Kindler said, but there's no reason a comic can't just get better and better.
"I have never been happier than I am now," he said. "I have never liked my act better than I do now. Of course, by saying all this, I am jinxing myself. It's like I am looking for ways to poison my next tour."
Getting older has been a blessing in many ways, Kindler said.
"I hate to talk about how old I am, but I can't stop talking about it," he said. "In general, the good part of aging is - the way I felt in my 20s is that I was so consumed with ambition. I was so hard on myself. I had to achieve. When you get older, you just don't have that same ambition. It doesn't have to drive me anymore." | commoncrawl | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUdJjxK6Ot9TMSqs06 | The SEC concluded that the bitcoin futures markets are not large enough to permit NYSE Arca and Cboe BZX to list and allow trading in shares of bitcoin exchange-traded products. The exchanges failed to convince the Division of Trading and Markets, acting on delegated authority, that they had entered into surveillance-sharing agreements with a regulated market of significant size related to bitcoin sufficient to prevent fraud and manipulation, as required by the Exchange Act. The SEC has since notified the exchanges that the orders denying the rule change proposals have been stayed pending Commission review (Cboe letter; NYSE Arca Direxion letter and ProShares letter) (Release No. 34-83904 (NYSE Arca); Release No. 34-83912 (NYSE Arca); and Release No. 34-83913 (Cboe BZX Exchange).
Deterring fraud and manipulation. Exchange Act Section 6(b)(5) requires that an exchange's rules be "designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices." An exchange listing ETPs can meet its obligations under Section 6(b)(5) by relying on a surveillance-sharing agreement with a regulated market of significant size to detect and deter fraud and manipulation. According to the SEC, this type of agreement facilitates the availability of information necessary to investigate a manipulation if it were to occur.
The SEC has interpreted the terms "significant market" and "market of significant size" to include a market where there is a reasonable likelihood that a person attempting to manipulate an ETP would also have to trade on that market to be successful (and a surveillance-sharing agreement would assist the ETP lister in detecting misconduct) and when it is unlikely that trading in the ETP would be the predominant influence on prices in that market.
Insufficient evidence of deterrence. Both exchanges argued that traditional measures to detect and deter manipulation and existing surveillance procedures are sufficient, and Cboe BZX suggested that the price of bitcoin is resistant to manipulation. The SEC found, however, that they failed to establish that other means would prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts or that the underlying market was demonstrably resistant to manipulation, necessitating a surveillance-sharing agreement with at least one significant, regulated market relating to bitcoin.
The exchanges represented that they are able to share surveillance information with bitcoin futures markets regulated by the CFTC through membership in the Intermarket Surveillance Group. The SEC found, however, that the record does not provide a basis for the conclusion that these markets are markets of significant size in bitcoin futures contracts. Further noting that CFTC Chairman J. Christopher Giancarlo has characterized the volume of the bitcoin futures markets as "quite small," the SEC concluded that the exchanges cannot rely on surveillance-sharing agreements.
In disapproving the proposed rule changes, the SEC emphasized that its disapproval does not reflect an evaluation of whether bitcoin "has utility or value as an innovation or an investment."
The releases are No. 34-83904, No. 34-83912, and No. 34-83913.

For the simultaneous productions of bioenergy and high value coproducts by green algae, the 50% ethanol extract of the marine green alga Chlamydomonas sp. W80, which is a potential hydrogen-producing algal strain, was examined for various bioactivities, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, hair growth promotion, immune stimulatory and skin lightning. The skin lightning effect of the extract was found with three assay methods; anti-melanin formation, inhibition of endothelin-1 (ET-1) and stem cell factor (SCF) productions. The hair growth promotion effect was also found with two assay methods; dermal papilla cells propagation and inhibition of 5a-reductase.
Green algae, Bioenergy, High valuecoproduct, Skin lightning, Hair growth promotion
Biofuel from microalgae is a renewable and carbon neutral alternative to fossile fuels [1 to 5]. Since fuel price is generally quite low, simultaneous productions of value added co-products, such as health supplements, cosmetics and fine chemicals, by microalgal cells make the algal biofuel production processes economically more feasible [6]. The marine green alga Chlamydomonas sp. W80 (C. W80) produces hydrogen [7] and also shows a surprisingly high tolerance against oxidative stress caused by methyl viologen, which is reduced by the photosynthetic apparatus generating highly toxic superoxide (O2-) [8]. We have been intensively making researches on the isolation of useful genes of C. W80 and successfully isolated various anti-stress genes, such as ascorbate peroxidase [9], glutathione peroxidase [10-11], type 3 late embryogenesis abundant protein [12] and BBC1 [13]. We also found that the extract of C. W80 has some radicals cavenging activity [14].
C. W80 is a stress tolerant and fast-growing strain, thus co-productions of energy and bioactive compounds by this strain can be a promising biofuel production process. In this study, we examined the bioactivities, such as anti-inflammatory, immuno stimulatory, skin lightning, anti-aging and hair growth promotion effects of C. W80 cell extract with various assay methods.
Preparation of the extract from Chlamydomonas W80
The green alga Chlamydomonas W80 used in this study was isolated from the coastal area of Wakayama, Japan and identified as a Chlamydomonas species as described previously [15]. To obtain a large amount of C. W80 cells, the cells were grown in an outdoor open pool (a circular pool with 20 m diameter and 8 cm water depth) under sunlight with the artificial sea water for the culture medium. Cells were harvested by low speed centrifugation, washed with water and freeze-dried. Approximately 100 g of dried sample was extracted with one liter of ethanol-water 1:1 (w/w) under reflux at 80°C for 2 hours. After filtration, the extracts were dried in vacuum at 60°C. The yield of extract was 18.7% of the dry weight.
Cultured cells for bioassay
Murine B16 melanoma cells were obtained from Riken Cell Bank (Tsukuba, Japan). Normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEK) and keratinocytes growth medium, Humedia-KG2 (KGM) were purchased from KURABO INDUSTRIES LTD. (Osaka, Japan). Human follicle dermal papilla cells (DPC) and HFDPC growth medium, PCGM were purchased from TOYOBO Co., LTD. (Tokyo, Japan).
Melanogenesis assay with B16 melanoma cells
The B16 melanoma cells were cultured in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium (DMEM) supplemented with 10% heat inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS), 35 µg/mL penicillin and 70 µg/mL streptomycin, at 37°C in a humidified, CO2-controlled (5%) incubator. Melanin content measurement was based on the previously reported method [16]. The B16 melanoma cells (4.0 x 105 cells per dish) were inoculated into DMEM containing 10% FBS and 1 mmol/L theophylline in 60-mm tissue culture dishes and cultured for 8 hours. Then, the C. W80 extract dissolved in DMEM containing 10% FBS and 1 mmol/L theophylline was added to the culture and the cells were incubated for 4 days. The medium without C. W80 extract was added to the control experiment cultures. After incubation, the cells were harvested with trypsin treatment and cell number was counted. The cells were collected by centrifugation (2,500 x g for 6 min. at room temperature), lysed in 2 mL of 1 mol/L NaOH containing 10% DMSO and sonicated. The absorbance of lysate was measured at 475 nm to determine the melanin content.
Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for endothelin-1 (ET-1) and stem cell factor (SCF) protein
NHEK were cultured in Humedia-KG2 with growth supplements. NHEK (2.0 x 105 cells per well) were inoculated in KGM into 96-well plates and incubated for 24 hours. The cells were washed two times with Hanks buffer and suspended in 1 mL of Hanks buffer. The cells were then irradiated with 30 mJ/cm2 of UV-B. Buffer was removed and the cells were treated with the C. W80 extract dissolved in KGM. After 48 hours incubation, the concentrations of endothelin-1 (ET-1) and Stem Cell Factor (SCF) in the culture media were measured by ELISA. ET-1 was analyzed by ELISA kit for human ET-1 (Endothelin, Human, EIA Kit; CAYMAN CHEMICAL, Michigan, USA) (Awano, et al., 2006). SCF was measured using an ELISA kit for human SCF (SCF, Human, ELISA Kit, Quantikine; R & D systems, NE, USA) [17].
MTT assay
DPC were cultured in collagen coating flask, in PCGM with growth supplements. Cell proliferation was determined by MTT assay [18]. DPC (2.0 x 105 cells per well) were inoculated into DMEM containing 10% FBS in collagen-coated 96-well plates and cultured for 3 days. After incubation, culture medium was removed and 0.2 mL of C. W80 extract dissolved in DMEM was added to each well. Cells were incubated at 37 ?Cin a 5% CO2 incubator for 5 days. After incubation, 20 ml of MTT (5 mg/mL) was added to each well and cells were incubated for 4 h at 37?C. The supernatant was then removed and 200 ml of dimethyl sulfoxide was added to dissolve for mazan products. The cell numbers were estimated by comparing the optical density at 570nm of the samples to that of control sample and expressed as a percentage of the control.
Testosterone 5α-reductase assay
The enzyme suspension of testosterone 5α-reductase was prepared from rat liver homogenate (S-9) mixture as described previously [19]. Twenty µL of testosterone (4.2 mg/mL) dissolved in propylene glycol and 825 µL of NADPH (1 mg/mL) dissolved in Tris-HCl buffer (5 mmol/mL) were mixed in a test tube. Then 80 µL of the C. W80 extract dissolved in 50% ethanol and 75 µL of S-9 were added and incubated at 37°C for 30 min. Reaction was stopped by adding 1 mL methylene chloride. The mixtures were centrifuged (1,600 x g, 10 min) and methylene chloride phase were analyzed by gas chromatography (Shimazu GC-7A, KYOTO, JAPAN).
IC50 value calculation and statistical analysis
The half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) was calculated from the values of the inhibitory activities at several concentrations by using a linear regression analysis. Statistical analysis was done by Student's t test. Statistical significance was defined as P < 0.05.
The bioactivities of the 50% ethanol extract of C. W80 were examined by 29 assay methods. Table 1 shows the list of assay methods. We examined the effects of antioxidant (4 assay methods), anti-inflammatory (5 assay methods), immunostimulatory (2 assay methods), skin lightning (4 assay methods), anti-aging (10 assay methods) and hair growth promotion (3 assay methods). Among these 29 assay methods, the extract of C. W80 showed the effectiveness in 3 skin lightening (B16 melanoma cells, ET-1and SCF) and 2 hair growth promotion (inhibition of testosterone 5a-reductase and proliferation of dermal papilla cells) assays. No effect was observed in other 24 assays (data not shown).

Skin lightning effects of C. W80 extract
The inhibitory effect of C. W80 extract on melanogenesis were assayed with the B16 melanoma cell model. The B16 cells were treated with the C. W80 extract for 96h, and the inhibition of UV-B induced melanogenesis was evaluated by measuring the intracellular melanin content. The melanin levels were lowered in concentration-dependent manner by the extract from C. W80 (Table 2) and the IC50 value was calculated to be 58 µg/mL. This value is smaller than those of Glechoma hederacea extract (ca. 500 µg/mL) [20] and Schinus terebinthifolius extract (250 µg/mL) [21] and is comparable to the extract of non seeds (78.8 µg/mL) [22].
The inhibitory effects of C. W80 extract on ET-1 and SCF productions were also examined. UV-B light stimulates the secretion of cytokines such as a-melanocyte stimulating hormone [23], ET-1 [24,25] and SCF [26] from keratinocytes. These cytokines induce melanogenesis and ET-1 and SCF have synergic effects on skin pigmentation [26]. Table 3 shows the effects of C. W80 extract on ET-1 production in normal human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEK). At the concentrations of 12.5 µg/mL and 50 µg/mL, the inhibitory effects of C. W80 extraction ET-1 production were 26.3% (p < 0.05) and 33.2% (p < 0.01), respectively, and the IC50 value for ET-1 inhibition was calculated to be 141 µg/mL. This value is lower than the value of Ipomoea aquatic extract (250 - 500 µg/mL) [27]. Table 4 shows the effects of C. W80 extract on SCF production in NHEK. SCF is generated in the epidermis, and is involved in pigmentation after melanogenesis.
At the concentrations of 12.5 µg/mL and 50 µg/mL, the inhibitory effects of C. W80 extraction SCF production were 17.1% and 43.2% (p < 0.01), respectively, and the IC50 value for ET-1 inhibition was calculated to be 59.7 µg/mL. This value is much lower than the value of Vigna angularis extract (189 µg/mL) [28]. These results indicate that the C. W80 extract influences multiple cytokines related to skin pigmentation and has skin-lightning effect.

Hair growth promotion effects of C. W80 extract
The hair growth cycle includes repeating steps of growing, involutional and resting phases. Dermal papilla cells appear on the skin at the root and play an important role in hair growth regulation. It is reported that dermal papilla cells are propagated in the growing phase of hair cycle [29]. To evaluate the effect of the extract from C. W80 on cell proliferation of human hair follicles, the dermal papilla cells were treated with various concentrations of the extract from C. W80. C. W80 extract was found to promote proliferation of dermal papilla cells in dose-dependent manner (Table 5). The extract of C. W80 significantly (p <0.001) increased the proliferation of dermal papilla cells by 119.2% at 25 µg/mL concentration compared with the control. The value of proliferation increase (119.2%) obtained with C. W80 was as good as or slightly higher compared with the values of previous studies, such as 116% at 10 µM of minoxidil [30] and 111.5% at 25 µg/mL of Prunus lannesiana extract [3], indicating that C. W80 extract has hair-growth promoting effect via the proliferation of dermal papilla cells.
Testosteron, one of the androgenic hormone, is converted by 5 α -reductase to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) [32]. Because the accumulation of DHT in sculp induces the hair loss, suppression of DHT production through inhibition of 5α-reductase activity is thought to be effective to treat alopecia. As shown in Table 6, C. W80 extract inhibited 5 α-reductase activities in dose-dependent manner. The IC50 value of 5 α-reductase activity was calculated to be 285µg/mL. This value is comparable to the values of extract from Psidium guajava (160 µg/mL) [33] and Acer palmatum (340 µg/mL) [34], indicating that C. W80 extract can potentially be used for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia (AGA) via the 5α-reductase inhibition.

The present study indicates that the 50% ethanol extract of C. W80 has the bioactivities to promote skin lightning and hair growth. Although further investigations are needed to identify the active principles of C. W80 cell extract for these bioactivities, the simultaneous productions of value-added co-products and fuels, such as hydrogen, by C. W80 can be an economically promising process for biofuel production. As far as we know, the present study is the first example of comprehensivesurvey for bioactivities in fuel producing microalgae and suggesting the possibilities of simultaneous co-production of value added materials and biofuel in other many unexploited algal strains.
The present study revealed that the 50% ethanol extract of the marine green alga Chlamydomonas sp. W80, which is a potential hydrogen-producing algal strain, has both skin lightning and hair growth promotion effects, indicating the possibility of the simultaneous productions of bioenergy and value added coproducts by this green algae.

BkiUcYE4ubnjorKKsqtS | As it can be seen in the screenshot below, it consists of six tables.
Among these tables, the dbo.DebugTraces table is the safest to go and explore. It contains all the debug traces as you can see below and it can be useful to find what exactly was logged when an error encountered in a particular instance. But before coming to this, it is always recommended to find it in ULS logs as well as the Windows Event Viewer of the Workflow Manager farm machines.
The dbo.MappedVariables table contains information about the variables being used in the workflow instances.
So is there anyone brave enough to try modifying a column value from here and see it work on the workflows?
As you can see, there are values of the purged workflow instances that are due to be cleaned up.
Although there are four more databases, we will not speak about each of them. But there is the most important among all these six.
It is the dbo.Instances table.
As you can see in the table below, all the information related to the instances are recorded here.
It contains information from the instance id to the last DB modified date. As you can see, the purged instances are also there before they being cleaned up.
As I have mentioned in everywhere, it is not recommend to even touch these databases. So anything you do is at your own risk.
My whole intention to come to this database was to check the debug traces, but thought it would be interesting to have a look around how things are handled.
If you have any further findings on this, feel free to post a comment and share with everyone. | c4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | 2 |
BkiUd5Q4uzqh_N6SCd0f | The Innovision Cockpit made its world debut on the third-generation Touareg. Most of the controls are integrated in the display on the 15.0-inch screen of the top Discover Premium infotainment system, which curves towards the driver. These also include controls for the air conditioning system as well as seat heating control, ventilation and massage. On the other hand, intuitive switches such as the volume control which are very frequently used have deliberately been left in analog form. Angled towards the driver, the glass-covered screen of the Discover Premium infotainment system merges with the Digital Cockpit (12.0-inch digital instrument cluster), which also has a glass cover. The two screens form a continuous digital landscape with a common vision and control axis.

BkiUdQs5qoYDgbkp4FMf | Google Music elevates your music media to the Cloud. It allows you access to all your songs anywhere in the world, purchase music (only when based in US), and download them back to your computer or phone for offline access when needed. The only catch: Google Music would not work in Singapore as you would need to be 'based' in US for the initial registration. And location can easily be spoofed.
Download and install Hide-My-Ip which comes with a 14 day trial. Choose a US Proxy.
Turn on Incognito mode or Privacy mode for your browser. This ensures a clean new connection without any pre-existing cookie or cache.
Visit music.google.com or through play.google.com and start using the service. You can try adding a couple of the free playlists and upload a couple of songs through the music manager. The upload feature continues to work even after you deactivate the proxy.
And that's it. Google music activated. The Play Store limits access to the Google Music application if you are not in US but you can download it separately through the XDA Forums.Note: You can probably use other VPN services such as anonymisers or hotspot shield, but the easiest way for me was through SuperFreeVPN and then Hide-My-Ip.
Did it worked for you? Let me know through the comments, thanks!
I am in the process of moving my music collection on to Google Music.The free online storage locker for music has space for up to 20,000 songs that can be streamed through a browser on any computer or mobile device (including even iOS). With all my devices connected to the net, I don't see a need for storing them on my hard disk offline and well, for those devices that I need to transfer music to, it shouldn't be that much of a hassle to download a couple of albums or play lists for offline access. The quality of the music through the browser interface is good and it has a Pandora-esque instant mix function for quickly finding similar songs catered to your taste. It looks like it will take at least another two more weeks before I finish uploading all my songs, but the cloud does indeed seem the way to go.
Jailbreaking lifts the limitations set by Apple and allows developers to expand the features on your iOS device (iPod / iPhone / iPad. More importantly, jailbreak is not illegal in the United States! However, with every iteration of iOS, there's less reasons to jailbreak and increasingly, it has become harder too.
Update your device to iOS 5.1.1 through iTunes.
Download Absynthe and extract the app to your desktop. Plug in your device, open Absynthe, quit iTunes (if its not closed automatically), and click the jailbreak button.
Be patient. Your device will go into a fake restore session and reboot. When it reboots, DO NOT TOUCH IT OR UNPLUG IT. You will be notified on-screen when Absynthe completes the jailbreak. When it's done, you can unplug your device from your computer.
And, it's done. It IS really that simple.
As of last count, Android's Market has approximately 250,000+ apps to iOS Appstore of 350,000+. The numbers are steadily increasing and while the total number is not representative of the quality of the apps or the platform, it is a healthy sign indicating that the Android platform has attracted its fair share of developers. Having used Android for some time, I will recommending my favourite apps that I can't seem to do without.
1) Pulse Reader – Pulse is a popular RSS Feed Reader for the Android Platform. The reason is simple. It is breathtakingly beautiful. It presents the newsfeed in a colourful interactive mosaic that maximises the use of the touch screen, i.e. both horizontal and vertical scrolling. While it may sound complex at first, the navigation is intuitive. It is easy to browse through the articles and a clean and elegant in-depth view is readily available at a click.
2) imo.IM – my current Instant Messenger of choice is the imo.IM beta. It provides a clean interface, tabbed chats, supports different IM protocols (Facebook Chat, Google Talk, MSN, Skype and more). Also, it allows multiple logins for MSN which doesn't seem to work with the other clients, like Meebo, Palringo etc. The simplicity is one of its biggest attractions. It doesn't try to add in too many extra features, bloating the memory footprint. It just does exactly what it needs to, and it does it well.
3) MoboPlayer – By far, the best video player on Android! It supports a large range of video format, from the standard AVI, MP4, MKV and even the more obscure RMVB format. It has subtitles support and has a clean library interface with auto-thumbnail generation. It does not add any watermark to the video, providing a sleek interface and none of the other competitors in the video playback category comes close. It's a must have software for my nook color.
4) ³ (cubed) – The default Android music player is just average, and is strikingly lacklustre if you were to compare it to Apple's alternative. If you are a frequent music listener, there are much better options out there, and for me, that option is ³. Your album list is displayed as a cube that, when you swipe up and down, spins around, scrolling through your albums. You can also swipe left and right to scroll through the alphabet instead of through your albums (which makes the process a bit faster). It has album-art fetching, and a last.fm plugin.
5) Adilko – I was looking for the Nook application when I stumbled upon Adilko and that stopped my search for an eBook reader. It supports a variety of formats and notably ePub, the industry standard format for digital publications and incorporates facilities for browsing online catalogs on thousands of books (including thousands of free public domain work) and downloading them directly into your personal library. The application features a day / night reading mode and the standard tweaks to borders / font sizes and also features a bookshelf-like user interface that allows for easy browsing and navigation of the books.
Hello! Welcome to GadgetReactor. We are a technology blog in Singapore and you read more about us here. As the iPad 2 starts making its launch around the world, an unknown little tablet has grown in popularity and started creating its own waves in the budget tablet department. The Barnes and Noble Nook Color is a 7 inch e-reader, developed based on Android. It has a brilliant display, 16 million colors on a top of the line IPS display, with a resolution of 1024 x 600. It is remarkably similar to the specs of the Samsung Galaxy Tab, differing in the availability of the 3G connection, GPS, camera, and an inbuilt microphone. The caveat is that a stock Nook Color from B&N has majority of the android functions disabled as it is primarily an e-reader, but it can easily be hacked to unleash the full potential. Oh, I also forget to mention, the Galaxy Tab retails at approximately S$988 while the Nook Color can be purchased for US$249 or approximately S$345 with shipping included.
The Nook has a nice charcoal colored case, that has adequate heft and provides a sturdy feel to the tablet. Even though it's constructed of plastic, it doesn't feel cheap. The back of the Nook is made of a soft rubbery material, which gives it some extra grip. The bottom corner is open like a loop, though it is more of a design feature than being useful for anything.
While using it as an e-reader is all fine and dandy, the real fun comes in when you hack the Nook for the full functionality it can offer. First up, there are multiple options available for the Nook in terms of the Android Operating System, ranging from Eclair (2.1), Froyo (2.2), Gingerbread (2.3) and Honeycomb (3.0). I have tried Eclair, Gingerbread and Honeycomb and am now predominantly on Gingerbread. It offers the nice compromise between stability (Eclair) and cutting edge development (Honeycomb). In Gingerbread, the interface has been tweaked and it runs a little snappier. Flash 10.1 is available and majority of the apps in the Android market are available. The current disadvantage is that Graphics Acceleration is still not available on Gingerbread. In comparison, the basic Eclair (version the Nook was developed on) has the full functionality. I am currently running Cyanogen Mod 7, based on Gingerbread 2.3.3 which receives tonnes of developer attention and majority of the new developments for the Nook will be seen here. As we speak, basic hardware acceleration for CM7 is has been achieved and though slow, it is a promising sign that we will see full functionality very soon. Honeycomb is also seeing some promising development, with full 2D hardware acceleration in all applications. Exciting times are just round the corner.
There are multiple ways to use a customised ROM on your Nook Color.
The easiest method would be to copy the ROM image to your micro SD card and boot your nook with the mSD card loaded. It is as simple as that. A decent image writer will be the win32 image writer (https://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer). SD images for NC can easily be obtained from XDA Sub-Forums : Barnes & Noble Nook Color. Currently, CM7 (Gingerbread 2.3), Honeycomb (3.0) and Nookie Froyo (2.2) have an SmD boot image for you to experiment the various features and trial the roms before you commit to your preferred version. The disadvantage is that this a rom running off mSD is slow and is not optimised, often resulting in laggy performance.
The next method involves flashing the eMMC, which is the Nook embedded storage.
Put rom zip file (don't need to extract) at root of mSD.
Put the mSD into your NC. Turn it on.
You should see a screen with a lot of options in text. To select use the home (n) button. To go back/up one menu use the power button. To scroll use the volume up and down buttons.
Navigate to Mount and Storage. format all of the following: data, system,and cache. Each require you to separately navigate down to YES to wipe.
Go back to Main Menu. Select 'mounts and storage' and press 'unmount sdcard'.
Take out mSD. Go back to main menu again and press 'reboot into system'. Your device will now reboot with the new ROM boot up.
Update (May 2012): The Nook Color has been replaced by the Nook Tablet, which offers a better processor, more ram, and larger storage. However, android development on the Nook Color is still very much active, and despite the lower-end specs, it is still quite usable in today's context. CM7 has full features activated on the Nook Color, with full hardware acceleration, bluetooth, video playback activated. With the launch of Ice Cream Sandwich, developers are actively trying to bring a stable version to the Nook Color. The XDA Developer Forums are very active and do visit there for the latest details on how to bring the CM9 and ICS 4 experience on to the Nook Color. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 2 |

Man allegedly punches woman in face, exposes himself while she was in bathroom on break at work
Source: Hamilton County Sheriff's Office, Mega
By:Todd Betzold
Dec. 1 2021, Published 2:22 p.m. ET
A Kroger employee in Ohio was taking a bathroom break at work when a man came into her stall, punched her in the face and exposed himself, police said.
On Nov. 27, a Kroger employee said she was going to the bathroom when she saw a man's hand come up from under the stall next to her. Then the employee saw his face.
The victim told FOX 19, "I was like, wait a minute, that's a guy. And I said, 'You're in the wrong bathroom.' And he's like, 'What?' I was like, 'You're in the ladies bathroom, you have to get out of here.'"

According to the victim, this is when the man crawled into the stall with her while she was sitting on the toilet. She said the man punched her in the nose and then she started screaming, FOX 19 reported.
The employee said the man then grabbed her by the head and threatened her before exposing himself to her.
She said she was "really scared" and "didn't know what to think," she told FOX 19. She added, "I just knew I had to stop him from doing whatever he was doing."
The employee said the attack just stopped, as he turned around and unlocked the door and walked out, FOX 19 stated.
Police said they arrested KeJohn Tubbs on an assault charge. He was booked into the Hamilton County Justice Center on a $7,500 bond.
Tubbs is scheduled to be in court on Dec. 15, officials said. | commoncrawl | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUdWU5qdmDNotg_SQU | Nonthoracotomy- versus thoracotomy-implantable defibrillators: Intention-to-treat comparison of clinical outcomes
James M. Kleman, Lon W. Castle, Gregory A. Kidwell, James D. Maloney, Victor A. Morant, Richard G. Trohman, Bruce L. Wilkoff, Patrick M. McCarthy, Sergio L. Pinski*
Background: Nonthoracotomy-implantable cardioverter/defibrillator (ICD) systems may represent a significant advance in the treatment of patients with life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias, but their merits relative to those of the well-established thoracotomy systems remain largely unknown. The objective of this study was to compare the short- and long-term clinical outcomes after attempted ICD implantation via a nonthoracotomy versus thoracotomy approach in similar groups of patients. Methods and Results: Between September 1990 and December 1992, 212 consecutive patients underwent attempted ICD system implantation without concomitant cardiac surgery at a single institution. Approach selection was not randomized but rather was based primarily on hardware availability. Primary comparisons of short- and long-term outcome were performed according to the "intention-to-treat" principle. Implantation was attempted via a nonthoracotomy approach in 120 patients (57%) and via a thoracotomy approach in 92 patients (43%). Prior cardiac surgery was more prevalent in the nonthoracotomy patients; otherwise, groups did not differ significantly in terms of prognostically relevant clinical characteristics. Nonthoracotomy implantation was successful in 101 patients (84%). After crossover to thoracotomy implantation (14 patients), the eventual success rate for ICD system implantation was 96% in the nonthoracotomy group. Thoracotomy implantation was successful in 89 patients (97%). Operative mortality was 3.3% in the nonthoracotomy and 4.3% in the thoracotomy groups (P=.73). Nonthoracotomy group patients were less likely to experience postoperative congestive heart failure (6% versus 16%; P=.02) or supraventricular arrhythmia (6% versus 18%; P=.004) and had significantly shorter postoperative intensive care and total hospitalization. Total hospital costs were significantly lower in the nonthoracotomy group ($32 205 versus $37 265; P=.001). After a follow-up of 16±9 months, there were 17 deaths in the nonthoracotomy group (none sudden) and 12 deaths in the thoracotomy group (1 sudden). One- and 2-year Kaplan-Meier survival probabilities were .87 (95% CI, .78 to .91) and .80 (95% CI, .68 to .88) in the nonthoracotomy group and .90 (95% CI, .82 to .95) and .87 (95% CI, .77 to .93) in the thoracotomy group (P= .56; log-rank test). Conclusions: Nonthoracotomy ICD implantation is associated with reduced surgical morbidity, postoperative hospital care requirement, and hospital costs and has similar efficacy in preventing sudden death relative to the thoracotomy approach. From these nonrandomized data, it appears that a nonthoracotomy approach should be considered preferable in most patients requiring ICD therapy.

N2 - Background: Nonthoracotomy-implantable cardioverter/defibrillator (ICD) systems may represent a significant advance in the treatment of patients with life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias, but their merits relative to those of the well-established thoracotomy systems remain largely unknown. The objective of this study was to compare the short- and long-term clinical outcomes after attempted ICD implantation via a nonthoracotomy versus thoracotomy approach in similar groups of patients. Methods and Results: Between September 1990 and December 1992, 212 consecutive patients underwent attempted ICD system implantation without concomitant cardiac surgery at a single institution. Approach selection was not randomized but rather was based primarily on hardware availability. Primary comparisons of short- and long-term outcome were performed according to the "intention-to-treat" principle. Implantation was attempted via a nonthoracotomy approach in 120 patients (57%) and via a thoracotomy approach in 92 patients (43%). Prior cardiac surgery was more prevalent in the nonthoracotomy patients; otherwise, groups did not differ significantly in terms of prognostically relevant clinical characteristics. Nonthoracotomy implantation was successful in 101 patients (84%). After crossover to thoracotomy implantation (14 patients), the eventual success rate for ICD system implantation was 96% in the nonthoracotomy group. Thoracotomy implantation was successful in 89 patients (97%). Operative mortality was 3.3% in the nonthoracotomy and 4.3% in the thoracotomy groups (P=.73). Nonthoracotomy group patients were less likely to experience postoperative congestive heart failure (6% versus 16%; P=.02) or supraventricular arrhythmia (6% versus 18%; P=.004) and had significantly shorter postoperative intensive care and total hospitalization. Total hospital costs were significantly lower in the nonthoracotomy group ($32 205 versus $37 265; P=.001). After a follow-up of 16±9 months, there were 17 deaths in the nonthoracotomy group (none sudden) and 12 deaths in the thoracotomy group (1 sudden). One- and 2-year Kaplan-Meier survival probabilities were .87 (95% CI, .78 to .91) and .80 (95% CI, .68 to .88) in the nonthoracotomy group and .90 (95% CI, .82 to .95) and .87 (95% CI, .77 to .93) in the thoracotomy group (P= .56; log-rank test). Conclusions: Nonthoracotomy ICD implantation is associated with reduced surgical morbidity, postoperative hospital care requirement, and hospital costs and has similar efficacy in preventing sudden death relative to the thoracotomy approach. From these nonrandomized data, it appears that a nonthoracotomy approach should be considered preferable in most patients requiring ICD therapy.

BkiUf1LxK7IADTol2lop | As the largest hospital trust in Southwest England, North Bristol NHS Trust employs more than 9,000 staff members who strive to personally deliver exceptional healthcare. Hospitals within the trust include Southmead Hospital Bristol and Cossham Hospital. North Bristol NHS Trust is an award-winning organisation which treats more than 300,000 patients a year in addition to being a large teaching trust.
North Bristol NHS Trust prides itself as an organisation which provides services of exemplary quality in all aspects of the trust—including the hospital contact centre. The trust's IT Switchboard Service Team comprises 20 operators responsible for providing 24/7/365 call processing and messaging support to staff, patients, and visitors.
The operator console solution the trust was using to process calls did not have integration with various hospital directories. When changes were needed, this meant multiple directories needed to be updated and often resulted in inaccurate information. North Bristol NHS Trust's directory only allowed operators to search for one field at a time, leading to longer wait times for callers.
Additionally, the solution did not contain reporting functionality. This made it difficult for management to spot trends in call volumes, as well as manage service levels and productivity. All of these factors resulted in inefficient call handling and lower productivity among staff.
"The IT Switchboard Service Team at North Bristol NHS Trust was moving to a new state-of-the-art facility, and we knew it was time for a more advanced contact centre solution," said Rhian Bidlake-Corser, IT Project Manager, North Bristol NHS Trust.
North Bristol NHS Trust went in search of new call-taking software. "We choose Spok's operator console because of its robust functionality and the flexibility it gives us to build upon in the future," said Bidlake-Corser.
More than 125,000 organisations worldwide rely on Spok solutions to improve communications. The Spok Healthcare Console solution brings information from the trust's separate patient and staff directories into one simplified view. North Bristol NHS Trust operators can now search multiple fields to filter the data more efficiently to connect callers more quickly with the parties they need to reach.
"In addition to directory look-ups, operators can quickly contact staff and transfer calls. This has improved their service level performance," said Bidlake-Corser.
With the Spok Healthcare Console solution in place, productivity and service level performance of contact centre staff at North Bristol NHS Trust have increased. The healthcare organisation leverages Spok's real-time and historical reporting functionality to experience a fairer distribution of calls among operators, spot trends in call activity, and monitor operator performance.
Patient safety has also been enhanced across the trust through the use of Spok's console solution. The contact centre team is responsible for launching emergency communications. Operators are now able to quickly reach the right staff members on the right devices, thus speeding care.
North Bristol NHS Trust is looking to extend the success of the Spok contact centre solution to the entire trust by implementing the Spok® Web Directory.
Rota management at North Bristol NHS Hospital will be managed within the Spok Healthcare Console. This will allow operators to use one system to search for on-call staff by department across the entire organisation. This quick access to directory and on-call information improves operator efficiency, thus improving service to callers as well as patient care.
The web directory solution also enables doctors, nurses, and staff to access the trust directory and on-call rotas from a web browser, allowing them to send messages without operator assistance and boost efficiency. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUeA05qoTAi5Vb6Ixv | Suppose I have TM a generic name for a .eu domain, but no business at all.
The same name is used by a company in one eu country and they own also the .com and the local country domain.They sell specific goods..
But they don't have a TM on that word , and recently I think they made an application for a TM, but they have no registration yet.
If I register the .eu domain name using the TM I have, do you think that I might have a problem in the future from them since they are an established company?.
Anybody can file a WIPO complaint even if it's not justified... http://www.namepros.com/legal-issues...my-domain.html.
The thing is that I am the one who has the TM. I don't want to use it for products or services related to their business, but for something completely irrelevant.
I will not try to hijack their names (in no way I have such ittentions).
I thought you had to have a business or product in order to have a trademark?.
Can you just trademark a name?..
Ugh you don't make any sense. How can you trademark a name you don't use? If you have no business at all then you have no TM. You need to have a use for the mark in order for it to be valid. Otherwise I could go register every word I can create or find and say they are mine. YOU MUST HAVE A USE!.
Trademark rights exist on three levels: at common law, by state registration, and by federal registration.
1. Common law marks are marks protected because they have been adopted and used, and the public recognizes the products or services identified by the mark as coming from a particular source. Although the majority of trademarks in existence are not registered, owners of un-registered trademarks still have legal rights to the exclusive use of their trademarks.
(Once a trademark is successfully registered with the USPTO, certain statutory rights are created protecting the trademark owner.) However, the general rule often referred to as "first-in-time"The first person or entity to use a trademark in commerce receives common law protection for the use of that trademark. Thus, this "first person" can prevent others from using that same trademark...even if this "first person" never registered the mark.
2. State registration systems exist throughout the country to allow the owners of common law marks to register them if they are used within a particular state.
Here is how youcan get away with using the TM name.... lol..
Maybe we are just 2 smart people. Next time you can answer first. | c4 | 1 | 3 | 3 | 2 |
BkiUfGvxK6wB9dbuVoQ- | Jim Patterson Stadium-Louisville, KY: Brian had to make his first appearance at a Cardinals game sooner or later, so we just decided sooner. Louisville hosted the Cincinnati Bearcats in a non-conference game, and this was a good chance to see our top-10 team in action. Brian loved the façade of the ballpark, with the arc and the big bats (we haven't made it to the Slugger museum yet). We found seats for a little while, but migrated to the outfield so he could play on the playground.
I could still watch the game, and got a solid panoramic which is always good!
It was a decent vantage point to watch the game, and the Cardinals were playing solid ball against the Bearcats. The home team had their Louisville Slugger warmed up for the game, scoring seven run. The Cards were led by Will Smith, who went 2-4 with a home run. Colby Finch pitched in going 2-2 with two runs scored, while Blake Tiberi went 2-4 with 2 RBI.
On the mound, Kade McClure picked up the win, pitching seven innings, while striking out four. FINAL: Cardinals 7, Bearcats 1.
To top the game off, Brian even got a foul ball, our first at a Louisville Cardinals game! | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

Sapphire Flames by Ilona Andrews
Series: Hidden Legacy #4
Published by Avon on August 27, 2019
Source: Publisher, Netgalley
Genres: Romance, Urban Fantasy, Action & Adventure
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Ilona Andrews comes an enthralling new trilogy set in the Hidden Legacy world, where magic means power, and family bloodlines are the new currency of society…
In a world where magic is the key to power and wealth, Catalina Baylor is a Prime, the highest rank of magic user, and the Head of her House. Catalina has always been afraid to use her unique powers, but when her friend's mother and sister are murdered, Catalina risks her reputation and safety to unravel the mystery.
But behind the scenes powerful forces are at work, and one of them is Alessandro Sagredo, the Italian Prime who was once Catalina's teenage crush. Dangerous and unpredictable, Alessandro's true motives are unclear, but he's drawn to Catalina like a moth to a flame.
To help her friend, Catalina must test the limits of her extraordinary powers, but doing so may cost her both her House–and her heart.
Note: This is the fourth book in a series that was previously a trilogy, focusing on a side character from the first three books. This review may contain slight spoilers! You can check out my review for the first three books here:
Burn For Me
I first discovered the Hidden Legacy series a couple years ago, when the first two books were out. I waited patiently for book 3, which I thought would be the end. But of course, there was still so much to be explored regarding the explosive Baylor family, and well-constructed world, and even the authors couldn't let this story go. So here we are, with book 4 (after a novella as well), following the sister of the main character from the first three books: Catalina Baylor. And let me tell you – her story is as exhilarating, as action-packed, and as emotional as her sister's. Let's get to it!
Here I am with all this power and I let everyone take care of me for most of my life, because it was too hard and scary and because I didn't want the guilt of hurting people. It wasn't fair. So, when Nevada decided to take a step back, I decided it was my turn to take care of everyone and do the ugly things nobody wants to do.
The book first starts with the introduction of Catalina as the head of the Baylor House. So… what exactly happened to Nevada? It turns out, she's helping Mad Rogan (her now-husband, then-love interest in previous books) with his own House matters and enjoying her own life, after being a leader of the family for years. Okay let's step back with some info… in this world, powerful magic-users inherit traits from their family, and they keep this magic preserved by grouping into "Houses" – mostly based on family – that pretty much control the inter-workings of the world. If you're born in a large, powerful house, you're set to go in life. If you marry into a House, you marry into their drama and politics. People are put in arranged marriages to create more powerful lineages. It goes on and on. In the Hidden Legacy series, the Baylor family was recently established as a House, and the 21-year old Catalina is the Head of it, as well as a powerful Prime (which you can probably guess what that means). And that's when the book starts: she's thrust into this role, while trying to navigate all the complex House politics and take care of her family. Things aren't helping when she finds herself involved in a murder mystery, and her old crush from high school coming back into her life…
And THAT is where the story starts. Nothing screams "CLASSIC URBAN FANTASY" more than a murder case to solve, right? Catalina's friend's family members are murdered, and it's up to her to get to the bottom of it. Not only because she can align that friend as her ally, but also because… it's the right thing to do. If there's anything about the Baylor family we know, it's that they fight for justice and make sure they can look themselves in the eye in the mirror at the end of the day. Secrets are revealed. City infrastructures become demolished. Assassins are uncovered. And the enemy they're looking for might have been next to them the whole time…
And yet, amonst all the action, the authors still manage to create a careful exploration of Catalina's experience and characterization. As the younger sister of Nevada, we saw her as a bit on the introverted side, and willing to blend into the background. But in Sapphire Flames, she really takes control of her fate and sets the tone down with other competing Primes. She grows into her skin as the Head of the House, and finds confidence in herself to do the right thing. And THAT is what character growth looks like. Along the way, she also finds herself reunited with a teenage crush, Mr. Alessandro Sagredo aka Italian Prime of his own House aka who called to her window in the middle night like ROMEO for a night drive three+ years ago aka who literally disappeared from her life ever since, aka who picked up and dropped two fiances as well, these past few years. So as you can see, that is a fun subplot in and of itself, and their banter was super fun. ALSO those secrets of Alessandro… yum. Can't wait to learn more about them in the upcoming books.
All in all, Sapphire Flames was an excellent addition to the Hidden Legacy series (as are all of Ilona Andrews's books tbh…), and I highly recommend this Urban Fantasy series to readers looking for a flamin' hot adventure with scorching romance, and lovable characters! The Andrews team has a great way of exploring characters (after reading 10+ of their books… I would know HAHA), and this one was no exception. It just left me panting for the next book!

Great review! My sister is always telling me how awesome this author's books are, but I do like my HEAs at the end of the book, so I'm not as much into Urban Fanatsy. Maybe I'll give this series a try!

This is a series that I need to keep up to date on. I have read the first two books so I will try not to be too far behind.
Catalina is a new character for me, though? I don't think I've met her yet.
Oooh, I was already curious about the book, but reading your review has made me want it now! | commoncrawl | 5 | 1 | 4 | 1 |

Watch AC/DC's Official Music Video For 'Realize'
By Andrew Magnotta @AndrewMagnotta Jan 13, 2021
AC/DC has unveiled the third official music video from its latest hit studio album, PWR/UP.
The performance, which is shot using a combination of black & white and fish-eye lens effects, follows a the red and black-shrouded performance video for "Shot in the Dark" and the animated video for "Demon Fire."
Though it's the third single, "Realize" is the lead track on PWR/UP — AC/DC's posthumous tribute to co-founding guitarist Malcolm Young, who passed away in the fall of 2017.
While Malcolm wasn't around to help put PWR/UP together, every song on the album was written or partially written by him. Malcolm's brother, lead guitarist Angus Young, recalled how the idea came together in a recent interview with France's Heavy1 TV.
"[Realize] was another strong idea that he had. For me, I knew how much he really liked it," Angus said. "I remember when we originally were writing it, the effort that he put in and how he built it up. The thing is, I remember we had the music side of it together, how we wanted to do it. And he gave me this hook idea, the chorus. When he gave me the verse idea, of how he wanted the lyric, he sang it to me roughly. And I heard it, and it stuck in my head all day. And I just kind of thought, how clever is he? He just comes up with something. It was one of those things where I kept repeating it and repeating it in my head."
PWR/UP hit No. 1 in 18 countries, including the U.S, Canada, the U.K. and Australia following its release this past November. The album is the band's 17th overall and its reception made AC/DC the first Australian artist in history to have had No. 1 albums Down Under in five different decades.

BkiUfSA5qhDCWcKLxW_Q | Learn Kurdish (Sorani)
Sorani is the dialect of Kurdish spoken in Iraq, where it is an official language, as well as in parts of Western Iran. It is also known as Central Kurdish. Of the three Kurdish languages - Kurmanji, Sorani and Pehlewani - it has the second highest number of speakers. Due to its status in Iraq, it has also become the most published of the Kurdish languages in written form. Kurdish sits apart from other languages in the Iranian language family and not much is known about its origin. It is distantly related to Persian.

BkiUa-04eIfiUQtkn1Wf | 6 six years ago, Tie and I went on our first trip together (albeit not as a couple) to New Orleans. As our first wedding anniversary is approaching, we went back to where it all (almost) started. Didn't quite make it in time for Mardi Gras, but they do have a number of smaller walking parades leading up to Fat Tuesday. We managed to catch one that totally appealed to the nerds within us. If you're a fan of sci-fi, pop culture references, cosplay, and puns, then the Intergalactic Krewe of Chewbacchus is for you.
Back in 2013, I was itching to attend Jazz Fest in New Orleans for my birthday. Primarily because Frank Ocean was playing, and I'm a huge fan. Also, a few of my advertising friends had worked on a campaign promoting NOLA, which made it all the more enticing. But I couldn't find anyone to go with me so I never did buy the festival tickets. Later that month, however, Tie decided he was up for a trip down to Louisiana so we signed up for the Southwest Airlines credit card and got a free flight (the beginning of our point-chasing team). We timed it so our visit coincides with the Oyster Festival. I always try to find local events in places we travel to. Some of the most enjoyable things to do come around only during specific times of the year, and I want to take advantage of that wherever we may end up. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUd3TxK6mkyCfOC0vv | This still image taken from undated video footage depicts a man Afghan officials identified as a member of the Taliban firing his rifle at a woman accused of adultery during her execution in a village outside Kabul, Afghanistan.
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - A video apparently showing the Taliban executing an Afghan woman accused of adultery has sparked international outrage. The killing highlights ongoing fears of what will happen to women's rights in Afghanistan once international forces leave.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai on Monday condemned the execution, describing it as an "unforgivable crime" and an "act of brutality." He called for an investigation into the shooting and the arrest of those responsible.
In the video first obtained by Reuters and circulated on the Internet, the apparent daylight execution of the woman is cheered on by male spectators. The incident reportedly took place in the northern province of Parwan, not far from the Afghan capital, Kabul.
For Afghan women's rights activist Wazma Frogh, the incident highlights the country's lack of security despite millions of dollars spent on strengthening its forces.
She says if the Taliban are allowed to rejoin the Afghan government and society without any accountability for their actions in the last ten years, the country would once again see the public stonings, hangings and beheadings that marked their time in power.
"So what does reconciliation mean with such a notorious insurgent group?" she asked.
The United States and the Afghan government hope to come to a political settlement with the Taliban before international combat forces leave Afghanistan by the end of 2014.
But Afghan lawmaker Fawzia Koofi warns that women risk losing out in a such a deal.
"We see the signs now, there are signs now that politically, nationally, that the women's gains and achievements both the international community and the government of Afghanistan have on women's rights will be immediately compromised for the sake of peace, so in a way justice will be sacrificed for peace," said Koofi.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Sunday that women's rights must be an integral part of Afghanistan's future. Clinton was speaking on the sidelines of an international aid conference that raised $16 billion in development aid for the war-ravaged country. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 2 |

Classic Theater
"The Pawnshop" (Charlie Chaplin) 1916
The Pawnshop was Charlie Chaplin's sixth film for Mutual Film Corporation. Released on October 2, 1916, it stars Chaplin in the role of assistant to the pawnshop owner, played by Henry Bergman. Edna Purviance plays the owner's daughter, while Albert Austin appears as an alarm clock owner who watches Chaplin in dismay as he dismantles the clock; the massive Eric Campbell's character attempts to rob the shop.
This was one of Chaplin's more popular movies for Mutual, mainly for the slapstick comedy he was famous for at the time (Wikipedia, 2014)
Granville Redmond a deaf actor worked with Chaplin
Granville Redmond
Charlie Chaplin was helped by Granville Redmond, who attended the California School for the Deaf in Berkeley from 1879 to 1890 ... While living in Los Angeles, he became friends with Charles Chaplin, who While living in Los Angeles, he became friends with Charles Chaplin, who admired the natural expressiveness of a deaf person using American Sign Language. Chaplin asked Redmond to help him develop the techniques Chaplin later used in his silent films. Chaplin, impressed with Redmond's skill, gave Redmond a studio on the movie lot, collected his paintings, and sponsored him in silent acting roles, including the sculptor in City Lights. Chaplin told a writer for The Silent Worker of a Redmond painting, "I could look at it for hours. It means so many things" and Chaplin's famous The Dance of the Oceana Rolls was Redmond inspired.
During this time Redmond did not neglect his painting. Through Chaplin he met Los Angeles neighbor artists Elmer Wachtel and Norman St. Clair. They showed works at the Spring Exhibition held in San Francisco in 1904. By 1905 Redmond was receiving considerable recognition as a leading landscape painter and bold colorist.
He died on May 24, 1935 in Los Angeles.

BkiUdvg4eIOjSMCf8BbN | Demountable wooden circus structure from La Construction Moderne, February 1893.
A little under twenty years ago I sent my first book on portable architecture to the publisher. Yes there were computers, and I did send it on disk (floppy ones which were actually protected in hard plastic covers) but all the images were analogue – slides, photographs, photocopies and hand drawings. Last week I sent my new version of this first book off to the publisher on a single CD. Even that was redundant really as I could have just downloaded it to their ftp site …but there is something, for an author at least, about walking down to the post office with a padded envelope and a stamp that has an air of finality about it.
i am so glad you have started a blog. i am an architect myself but just graduated. i am also a singer and big lover of movies. i have always wanted to associate my architecture career with the entertainment sector. for a relatively long period of my academic years i was trying to learn architectural acoustics in a hope to design good sounding studios.but i soon realized it was a big mistake, as more than creativity it was more of a physics/mathematics based subject and beyond my capability of mastering. then i started looking into other areas and stumbled upon entertainment architecture such as set/production designing. since then i have been trying to learn and understand more. and i feel your books have been a very good material for reference and i thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your research material/conclusions.i have yet to read your latest two books especially the one on Live Architecture.i hope and really wish that you continue writing more through books and blog posts and continue to inspire young people like me. | c4 | 2 | 2 | 4 | 1 |
