As part of the Overnight Success series, I’ve got a new one for you: pity party. Yep, sometimes, we get a little sad, and really into the trap of feeling bad about ourselves. Get out, and get out quick. Here’s the video. Overnight Success 5 – Belief Systems In part 5 of the overnight success series, we get into your belief systems, most especially the area of what NOT to believe: your own press. Check it out: Overnight Success 4 – The Competition Step right up, kids. This is part 4 of the Overnight Success series. This one is about competition. If you can’t see the video, click here. Overnight Success 3 – No Excuses This is part three in what’s become a series. Part 1: Overnight Success, and Part 2: A Call to Arms came out of some thoughts on the topic of the work that goes into making your business successful. Part 3 is about excuses. Overnight Success 2- A Call to Arms I have more to say about overnight success. Here’s part 2: What it Takes to Be an Overnight Success I thought about the inanity of waking up at 5:45AM after going to bed around 12:45AM and not really falling asleep until closer to 3AM. I thought about what it means to me to be working so hard. I thought about WHY I’m working so hard. Somewhere in my head, I thought about every time in the last few months where someone said I was an overnight success or “but you’re Chris Brogan” and how silly that is when you realize all that I’ve been through and all that it took me to get there. Here’s a quick video:

Chipping Away at the Blank Screen: Therapist Self-Disclosure and the Real Relationship Date2008-08-19 Author Ain, Stacie Advisor Gelso, Charles MetadataShow full item record Abstract The present study examined clients' perceptions of their real relationships with their therapists, the appropriateness of the amount of their therapists' self-disclosures, and their therapy outcomes. Ninety-four former clients completed measures of these variables. A positive correlation was found between the strength of their real relationships and their therapy outcomes. A positive correlation was also found between the relevance of the self-disclosures and their therapy outcomes. In addition, clients who felt that their therapists self disclosed an appropriate amount had stronger real relationships and better outcomes than clients who felt that their therapists did not disclose enough. Overall the results imply that therapists should self-disclose an appropriate amount of information that is relevant to their clients.

Posted: Tuesday, 19 April 2011 10:59 Delhi Wine Club dinners are mostly planned around the presence of a visiting eminent winemaker or a wine theme or simply the launch of a new upmarket restaurant which looks upon the DWC as an excellent promotional vehicle. However, for our April wine dinner (number 5/ #176) at Hoteld Claridges Delhi the theme was most unusual, writes Arun Batra. Photos: Anurag Mehrotra Ever since the time I attended my first Delhi Wine Club dinner at the Taipan way back in July 2004 (number #38 for those interested in chronology), Adil Arora, the son of our Club President, has been in attendance, discreetly clicking photographs which are now on the website as a library of memories of the wonderful journey our Wine Club members have had in the world of wine. Adil was getting married in early April and Subhash who treats the Wine Club members like his extended family, decided in his typically large hearted manner, to host a Wine dinner for all the Club members – not only was it a complimentary evening but the 50% cancellation rule was also specially waived for the occasion! With the 13th of April being Baisakhi, Subhash took time out from organizing the wedding, to build the dinner on this Northern Indian festival theme. He reasoned that not only had it been quite a while since we had Indian cuisine at our wine dinners and also since only a handful of members drink wine with Indian food at home, it would be a great opportunity for us to reacquaint ourselves with the sensory perceptions of pairing Italian wines with a good robust Butter Chicken. With this in mind, what better venue than the popular Dhaba at the Claridges – one of the few restaurants in a 5-star hotel that has been around ever since I can remember – and also the ones not to have hopped on to the identity or name change wagon? The decor at the Dhaba is indeed very rustic and adds a very major touch of realism of a highway eatery with its charpais and the front end of a Tata truck adorning a wall. Unfortunately due to our numbers being too large to accommodate at the Dhaba, we had to shift the location to the larger Vice-regal Room. This meant a lot of extra last minute running around for Kumud Singh, the F& B manager, to try and recreate the Dhaba atmosphere – a task he managed admirably well. So whilst we admired the décor, we sipped on the Zonin Prosecco DOC – a straw coloured sparkling wine with a good balance between dryness and sweetness with a tinge of apple and lemon on the tongue. Very simple though not rustic, this is an excellent easy drinking aperitif which handled the barbeque masalas on the chicken, paneer and cauliflower pretty well though the excellent seekh kababs might have done better with a red. After welcoming and congratulating Adil and his new bride Pratibha in the foyer, we moved into the Vice-regal room for dinner –though this time the wines for the dinner were already pre-poured when we took our seats -a change brought about more for logistical reasons but it all worked out in our favour in the end as the wines had a chance to breathe for at least half an hour in the glass. As a result, the wines which were in the range of about 8-12 Euros, definitely tasted well above their price point perceptions. The only downside was that with the wineglasses being identical and no labelling, the two reds being very close in the looks department caused some concern amongst lots of our members who didn’t know which one was which! The food delivery format was a thali –just right for this kind of cuisine and with the wines already pre-poured on the table, one was able to mix and match the wines with the food. Having heard so much about the Balti Meat - their signature Dhaba dish – I decided to have it first with the Colle Malvano Rosso Piceno 2008 – a full bodied robust red which did excellent justice to the meat. This wine comes from Rosso Piceno - a wine appellation in the central part of the Marche region of Italy just south of Ancona, which must have a minimum of 60% Sangiovese with Montepulciano making up the balance. Though with a deep red colour, the Templi Nero d'Avola IGT2008 from Sicily, the second red wine in the other glass, had a soft and delicate structure and managed the creamy Butter Chicken admirably with its fruitiness. This wine definitely boxed above its weight and I have a hunch that the “airing” of the wines received was definitely responsible. The white wine, Le Vele Verdicchio dei Colli di Jesi 2008, I found paired very well with vegetarian items on the menu – the bhaigan bharta and the spinach curry –good news for those vegetarians who like both their food and their wines. This is a 100% Verdicchio grape, has a brief fruity nose was well balance and has a just that hint of crispness to make it a refreshing drink. With a thali one somehow tends to stuff one’s self to the gills, but Executive Chef Neeraj Tyagi was on hand to tempt our members with the calorie accumulating Malpua and Rabri, which in the spirit of experimentation that evening, I tried with the remnants of the Prosecco which I believe is a very versatile drink and would probably be my first choice to go with Indian food. After such an enjoyable evening, it was indeed disappointing to learn that Subhash Arora has no more progeny waiting in the wings – so no more free dinners and its back to the 50% cancellation rule from next time. Chak De!! Arun Batra is a Delhi based food and wine enthusiast and a longtime member of the Delhi Wine Club Gallery Sameer Gandhi Says: Dear Mr.Arora, Congratulation for the event, i know it is great pleasure to have a success Wine Dinner and especially when I have enjoyed this privilege of hosting and driving the show. With warm regards, Sameer. Posted @ April 23, 2011 12:07

When an Exchange client contacts the Exchange 5.5 store, the Exchange client specifies an Exchange DN to represent the user on the Exchange server. The NT user’s account is validated to ensure that it has the “receive-as” right to that object in the Exchange 5.5 directory service. From that point on, the user is identified by their DN and not by their NT account. Exchange 5.5 only supported security on folder objects; access rights for the messages in a folder were defined by the access rights on the folder itself. Exchange 5.5 supports ten distinct access rights. The access rights are: Careful examination of the access rights reveals that five of the access rights apply to the items in the folder (frightsReadAny, frightsEditOwned, frightsDeleteOwned, frightsEditAny, and fRightsDeleteAny), and five of the access rights apply to the folder itself (frightsCreate, frightsCreateSubfolder, frightsOwner, frightsContact, frightsVisible). The two “owner” rights (frightsEditOwned and frightsDeleteOwned) are critical when implementing a discussion folder. In that scenario, a user should be allowed to modify (or delete) messages that they created, but they should NOT be allowed to modify (delete) items that another user has created. In Exchange 5.5, an ACL was simply an unordered list of DN’s and their associated Exchange rights. The membership of an ACL was exposed to a client via the IExchangeModifyTable interface and via the PR_ACL_DATA and PR_EXTENDED_ACL_DATA properties. Exchange 5.5 implemented a “most specific”->”least specific” access check algorithm. If a user was explicitly mentioned in an ACE (their DN appeared in the ACL), then the ACE contained the complete set of access rights for that user. If the user was NOT listed in the ACL, then the users rights were calculated by combining (with a logical OR) all the rights for the groups in the ACL of which the user was a member. If the user wasn’t explicitly listed in the ACL, and wasn’t a member of the groups listed in the ACL, then the users rights were calculated from the default rights on the folder. For example, consider what happens to the following set of 4 users: In addition, Group C is a member of Group A. Pictorally, this can be represented as: So what happens when each of these users attempts to access a folder with the following ACL: The access rights for the users in this example are as follows:

Tonight will be my second to last day of work. I’ve been at my job for over a year now, and I am actually going to miss working there. Aside from missing the great discount on food, I will miss the friendships that developed in between dealing with rude customers and long hours of physical labor. When I first started my job, I was feeling kinda depressed and lonely…I’m now leaving this job with amazing memories and inside jokes that I wouldn’t trade for anything. My job became a safe haven for me when I was having trouble at home…I also fell in love at my job and had my heart broken too. I have learned valuable people skills, money and time management, and how to make a killer milkshake that brings all the boys to the yard. Because I’ve been at my job for over a year, my name was listed on the “One Year Of Service” form and it read that I was a Guest Service Expert. I never planned on staying at this job for so long, but I’m glad I did. My job aside, other things in my life are quickly changing. My close friends are leaving for college, one of them is leaving tomorrow. Now when I hang out with my friends, it feels like a final goodbye, even though it won’t be for forever. My ex-girlfriend has agreed to physically see me sometime next week so we can talk. I have been wanting to bring up getting back together, after a dream I had of her last night and some other thoughts, I’m just not so sure. In the dream, we were cuddling like we used to…her body on top of mine and her cheek on my chest. She was telling me that she was tired of me always leaving her. When I woke up, sad because I miss her, I really began to consider staying broken up. Maybe I would be more willing to stay together if we had better communication…I’m not sure if she’s even interested in a relationship right now because she’s overwhelmed with work and her life…she took down our anniversary date from her bio on Instagram so I feel like that’s a sign from her that it’s over. I wanna know what she’s thinking and talk it all out…although I honestly believe that we won’t get back together. It breaks my heart but logically…and just from the way she’s been acting…I think it’s over. Maybe we can be friends..but I don’t know. I just need to focus on moving on. My college has their own blog run by students, and I want to apply. It’s an unpaid position but I thought it would be something awesome to do because I enjoy blogging and I think it will be a neat experience. Speaking of college, my roommate may not even be able to go to my college anymore because of financial issues. I have no idea what will happen if she can’t go…will I be alone in my room??? Will I get assigned another roommate?? I’m scared, and I wish I could talk to my ex about it but I must refrain from that. Anyway…it’s almost noon now. I should get out of bed lol I hope you all have a lovely day 🙂 -Victoria *Title is a lyric from the song Saturday by Fall Out Boy 2 thoughts on ““When These Open Doors Were Open-Ended”” Definitely talk to your ex, At least to hash everything out and see how she feels as well otherwise you will not know. You may get assigned a new roommate. Cheer up butter cup, Big Hugs Yeah, we just are having trouble finding time to get together unfortunately maybe..I hope whatever roommate I have won’t be too much of a hassle. I’m trying but it’s hard to stay happy sometimes..thank u Lana I really needed some hugs <33

What You Need To Know To Start a Business in the Education Sector By: David Morobe, regional general manager at Business Partners Limited The education sector in South Africa remains one of the major challenges for our country, with many. The opportunities available to SMEs wishing to enter into the education sector are extensive – from private pre-primary schools to support services and innovative educational products. If SMEs take advantage of this opportunity, the education sector can not only be improved, but also become more inclusive to provide the best prospects for all of South Africa’s children to one day contribute to a better performing economy with lower levels of inequality and lead improved lives. Private school education has grown from 2% to 6% of the total number of enrolled pupils (about 13 million) in SA over the last four years and is set to increase over the next couple of years, predominantly in townships The size of the industry The education sector’s overall economic impact cannot be overstated. The education industry is vital in terms of driving growth and development in the country as it increases individuals’ employability, the level of earned income they can expect and employment opportunities available to them. Therefore, we can say that it is the backbone in creating a productive and sustainable economy and economic climate in South Africa. In South Africa, although public spending on education (as a proportion of total government spending) has been increasing incrementally since 2010 (with a decrease noted in the 2015/2016 financial year), it is lower today (at 20.3%) than it was in the 1996/1997 financial year (at 22%). In terms of the GDP, public education spending (in 2017/2018) accounted for 6.8% of the national GDP. This is significant as it is the highest proportion recorded, with the same proportion only being spent twice over the last 20 years (first in the 1996/97 financial year and then again in 2016/17). Although the education sector is still considered to be struggling, the sector’s future outlook provides hope that it will be turned around. This can be seen in the proposed government spending programmes recently made public in the 2018/2019 national budget. Over the next three years, the South African government aims to spend a total of R792 billion on basic education, with R35 billion being spent on infrastructure and R15.3 billion on learning and teacher support materials. The government also plans to spend an additional R324 billion on higher education and training, with R57 billion to be spent on fee-free higher education and training. On the other hand, private school education has grown from 2% to 6% of the total number of enrolled pupils (about 13 million) in SA over the last four years and is set to increase over the next couple of years, predominantly in townships, which presents an opportunity for SMEs in the sector. Tertiary education presents further opportunities for SMEs particularly to address the dire shortage of student accommodation currently only catering for 100 000 out of a student population of more than 500 000. It is important for entrepreneurs wishing to enter the private education industry to have a holistic understanding of the industry in which they intend to operate Existing competitors Competition in the education sector is too wide to mention as it effectively encompasses any private business whose core activity entails the promotion of learning and/or other related educational related services including, but not limited to preschools, private schools, special needs schools and TVET colleges,. Some of the dominant players are: • Curro; ADvTECH, Kumon and Spark Schools (a few private school examples) • Innovation College, Damelin, Boston City Campus, MSC Business College, Richfield Graduate Institute of Technology, AAA School of Advertising, IMM Graduate School of Marketing, International Hotel School, (a few TVET college examples) • Milpark University, Henley Business School, MANCOSA (Management College of Southern Africa), MONASH South Africa, Regenesys Management Business ideas to explore SMEs in the sector can explore the following options: – Private schools; – Special needs schools; – Pre-schools (including day-care, crèches and pre-primary); – Adult basic education; – Further Education and Training (FET) or Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) colleges/ institutions; – Special training schools – e.g. culinary, nursing, medical, fashion, graphic design, beauty, business, human resources, health and safety, information and communication technologies, etc.; – SETA accredited training schools; – Student accommodation; and – Educational franchises. Financing options. The funding may be used for: – Equipment; – Expansion; – Management buy-outs; – Property finance for owner occupied businesses; – Revamps; – Start-ups; – Takeovers; and – Working capital. Legalities and regulations It is important for entrepreneurs wishing to enter the private education industry to have a holistic understanding of the industry in which they intend to operate. This can be done by familiarising themselves with the appropriate acts and regulations. Included below is a list of some of the most relevant pieces of legislature pertaining to the education industry. Although the list is not exhaustive, it does provide a starting point from which to develop a more of an understanding of the industry. • The Higher Education Act 101 of 1997 • The South African Schools Act 84 of 1996 • The Regulations for the Registration of Private Higher Education Institutions 2016 • The Basic Education Laws Amendment Act 15 of 2011 • The Further Education and Training Colleges Act 16 of 2006 • The Higher Education and Training Laws Amendment Act 25 of 2010 • The National Qualifications Framework Act 67 of 2008 • The National Education Policy Act 27 of 1996 • The Continuing Education and Training Act No. 16 of 2006 To ensure that they are better prepared and equipped to successfully operate in the education industry, entrepreneurs are encouraged to visit the National Department of Basic Education (in particular the resource page on education-related acts), the Department of Higher Education and Training (particularly the University Education page), the South African Qualifications Authority, and Umalusi online. Support and training available The ETDP SETA, which is mandated to promote and facilitate delivery of education training and development to enhance the skills profile of the sector is probably the best source of support available to those interested in the sector

Need a healthy snack while watching your weight? This recipe is perfect for you! No fat, no added sugar, protein included and only 9 calories for one! Or reduce the amount, make only 12 and still only 18 calories for one! Fantastic I say! They taste like an orange creamsicle! Do you remember those as a kid sold from the ice cream truck? I do! I loved them. So these are pretty similar, not quite like ice cream….. but hey….. for practically no calories or fat they are just fine for me. Hope you think so too! My hubby and younger two loved them. Of course the oldest picky child thinks they are too tart. WHATEVER. More for all of us. Sometimes I just can’t win them all! You may think the orange juice will be sweet enough for you and not need any stevia or sweetener, but the vanilla extract is a must. Just remember using the plain Greek yogurt is a bit tart on its own as well. Another option is to use Greek yogurt that is flavored with vanilla. But of course that has added sugars in it. This is a winner in our house…… four out of five isn’t bad. 😉 Nutrition Info Servings: 24* Calories for one: 9* Fat: 0* Fiber: 0* Carbs: 1g* Protein: 1g* Points+: 0* Servings:12* Calories: 18* Fat: 0* Fiber: 0* Carbs: 3g* Protein: 1g* Points+: 0* This recipe is being shared at Melt in Your Mouth Monday, Makin’ You Crave Monday, Slightly Indulgent Tuesdays, Tasty Tuesday, Women Living Well, Allergy Free Wednesdays, Feasting In Fellowship, Whipperberry, Tidymom. Additional Notes - If you are giving them to your children Popsicle sticks might be better to use than toothpicks. - My mini ice cube tray held about 1/2 ounce or little less than a tablespoon in each cup. - To get that orange color at the top of the pop, add a small amount of frozen orange juice to the bottom of each mold, then add the yogurt mixture on top. - Any ice cube tray would work or look for a Popsicle mold if you like. - If using a large Popsicle mold you will need to double the recipe. - I recommend a silicone tray because it is easier to pop out the pops from the bottom using your thumb. - I found this cute heart shaped ice cube tray that holds a dozen. Kitchen Collection Silicone Heart Ice Tray Ingredients - 1 cup Greek Yogurt, plain - 1/2 cup frozen orange juice from concentrate, no added sugar - 1/4 teaspoon Sweetleaf Stevia, vanilla creme, liquid form - 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract Directions - Mix the yogurt in a bowl with the orange juice. - Once well blended add the stevia and vanilla extract. - If you want the orange color at the top of the pop, add some frozen juice to the bottom of each cup first. - Pour the yogurt mix carefully into each ice cube cup. - Insert a toothpick into each. - Freeze for 3 hours or until hardened. - When ready to serve, let them sit on the counter for a minute or two, then from the bottom push up and they should pop out easily. Need some other healthy snacks? Try Crispy&Sweet Garbanzo Beans, Homemade Jello, or Baked Apple Crisp Chips. these look yummy! thanks! Yum, these look great! So simple and perfect for summertime right around the corner. Thanks for including us in this recipe, feel free to email me if you ever need a fresh supply of CHO to whip up another batch! Awesome, I will! Is that an ice-cube tray you used in the photos or a mini-muffin pan with small plastic cups inserted? These look yummy – something to make when the weather gets warmer. Its a mini ice cube tray I found at a dollar store LOL! But a mini muffin pan will work too 🙂 What a fabulous snack! So easy and handle. I’m sure eating one makes you feel like a kid! 🙂 Looks great! Had to radically change my diet for health reasons. My biggest challenge was giving up sugar – you’re recipes and ideas have made it a no brainer! Bonus – my kids don’t mind at all! Thank you!! Next hurdle – give up Diet Coke……… Thanks! But Oh I am so convicted. I still have one Diet coke at day 🙁 My one and only New Year’s resolution -give up Diet Coke. It was so hard the first month in January – I CRAVED it – dreamed about the fizzy taste in my mouth. But I can honestly say that now I don’t miss it or even want it anymore. I used to LOVE Diet Coke. I was an addict! I’ve been off it for over a year now though and it’s made such a difference in how I feel. Keep it up! You can do it! Trust me if I can, anyone can. 🙂 I decided to quit Diet Coke altogether, I went from having almost 4- 2liters a week then cut it in half, now I quit it altogether, 7 days so far no Diet Coke, the worse was the headaches the next couple of days after I quit, now I am not craving it but my problem will be when we go out to eat, anyways Congratulations to all who areally quitting drinking it!

Finding Hope: News Junkies or Word Junkies Cultures are Different and Times Change Cultures are different and times change, but humans have always had habits and those habits shape who we are as individuals and as communities. In his adventure travel series, captured in the book of Acts, there were two cultures that Paul encounters; the Athenians and the Bereans. Both of these cultures consumed something on a daily basis. The Athenians were news junkies and the Bereans were Word junkies , and that made all the difference. We meet the Athenians in Acts 17: 16-21. I can imagine them today, channel surfing, blog posting, and hotly debating their opinions on the latest dramas. We find the Bereans Bereans probably had bibles that looked liked these ladies in Uganda, studying during a FARM STEW training. So what was the result of their habits? Speaking of the Athenians it says: ) The Atehnians mocked or evaded the questions Paul posed. Those that believed were few, he named just three people. What did Paul do with this unappreciative crowd? He departed from among them. The Bereans, on the other hand, had a contagious revival that crossed cultural and gender boundaries: Therefore many of them believed, and also not a few of the Greeks, prominent women as well as men. (Acts 17:12) These two cultures, specifically their daily habits, shaped the response of these people. It will shape ours as well. What do we consume daily? Are we prepared to see where God is working, where new life and new hope are springing up? What captures our attention? And what will the results be, in our lives and those around us be? God's Word Shapes Our Lives It may seem that we will miss the latest and greatest by daily spending time in a 2,000 year old book, the Bible. But knowledge of God's word, and allowing it to shape our lives, will be the very thing that allows us to catch the movements of the Holy Spirit when we hear the whisper of the still small voice of hope. It may be the breath of the Spirit that ignites the fire in our hearts that will change the world!

This is my first try with Dylusions, and I used it today as base color on porous fiberboard blank coasters, and then will stamp using adhesive glue on them when ink is dry and use foil on the stamped image. This is a great light green-yellow base for Christmas green foiling. I will buy more colors after I complete the experiment! You must be logged in to comment. Please click here to log in.

It’s been a busy week in the document management space. Xerox announced it has enhanced its workflow creation capabilities in DocuShare, and Box has created a new ecosystem for legal companies. Meanwhile, AvePoint upgraded its governance Service Pack, while Alfresco and Workshare have entered a new partnership. Xerox’s Easy Workflow Creation Xerox continued to expand its document management capabilities this week by announcing enhancements to its DocuShare enterprise content management system (CMS). They make it easier to pull content into workflows. The enhancement comes in the shape of Xerox ConnectKey for DocuShare, a one-stop scan-to-workflow application that can place content directly into DocuShare collection or Windows folder via a Xerox enabled multifunction printer (MFP). The result is the ability to create document workflows by entering the necessary directions at the point the content enters the system — printer, scanner, and computer — and then directing it to desired recipients. The result is the creation of entire workflows within minutes, which should save users time and improve the accuracy of the information in the workflows. Xerox has also added enhancements to enable workers access, search, view and download documents stored in DocuShare from their iOS devices. On top of this, Xerox continues to expand DocuShare's cloud content management service, which provides a hosted environment where organizations can capture, manage processes and share documents. This is just the latest move by Xerox to secure itself in the document management space, which it entered three years ago under the guidance of CEO Ursula Burns. Over the course of the last three years, Xerox, which was once synonymous with printing hardware, has also developed a considerable reputation as a document management software provider too, which it continues to build with announcements like this. ConnectKey for DocuShare will be available in early 2014. Alfresco, Workshare Partner Meanwhile, Alfresco and Workshare have announced a new partnership that will enable customers to manage content hosted on the Alfresco platform and seamlessly compare files online using Workshare Compare Server capabilities. According to a statement from Workshare, the partnership will eliminate the need for costly integrations tween products from multiple vendors, in order to share and compare documents across multiple devices. Along with Alfresco, Workshare Compare Server will enhance document libraries by allowing real-time, highly-accurate comparisons for all Microsoft document types in addition to PDF/A. For highly regulated markets such as legal, financial, pharma and healthcare, this enables users to work in a secure, compliant environment even on the move. More from both vendors soon. Box’s Legal Ecosystem Also over the past week, Box has announced that it has created a new ecosystem to cater for their growing portfolio of legal customers. Making the announcement late last week, Box announced a number of new legal applications as well as integration with the Guidance Software’s EnCase eDiscovery product and iManage’s document management system via Intapp’s Integration Builder. Given Box’s growing traction in the legal industry, it is not surprising that it has set up an ecosystem exclusively to serve it. In the past year, Box's sales in the legal industry grew more than 150 percent, with a large number of well-know international law firms joining the long list of legal firms that are already using Box. On a wider level, the creation of a specialized ecosystem by Box confirms a growing move by vendors in the document management industry towards specialization. We have seen recently how Hyland has also built a substantial business doing the same, and there are others who are taking the same road. Some of the new Box legal applications are available now, while the rest will become available early in 2014 from the Box Apps Marketplace. More from Box soon. AvePoint Releases Governance Automation SP 4 Finally this week, enterprise governance, compliance, and management solutions vendor AvePoint announced this week the latest version of its flagship product for automated service and proactive governance enforcement, DocAve Governance Automation Service Pack (SP) 4. One of the major enhancements offered in this Service Pack is support for Microsoft SharePoint 2013 hybrid deployments. It also provides a role-based, business-centric service catalog for provisioning, moving, or restructuring content in those environments. The overall result is that all actions, or changes, made to SharePoint environments will fall within enterprise-defined SharePoint governance policies. Not all organizations utilizing the cloud are going ‘all-in’, so it was important for us to be able to provide support for those utilizing a hybrid model for their SharePoint deployments,” said George Petrou, Chief Technology Officer, AvePoint. DocAve Governance Automation SP 4 is generally available now.

Probably you rather associate the city of Antwerp with names as Rubens, Van Dijck or Jordaens or you immediately think about the second largest port or biggest petrochemical cluster of Europe . Or even, if you did not know it yourself, someone at home most likely reminded you of the fact that Antwerp is the world’s most important trade center of diamants. Arts, port, chemistry and diamants, are the first words people think of when you mention Antwerp. Nevertheless also agriculture and fashion are significant sectors in the province of Antwerp., with the so-called lock of Kieldrecht, the biggest lock in the world with a size of 500 meters by 68 meters and a depth of 17.8 meters,. Our first partnership arose in 1985 with the Shaanxi province in China. THE ANTWERP FORUM – Linking Business between China and Europe first saw light in 2011. The idea was to give European and Chinese managers an opportunity to exchange views on business cooperation and to pursue sustainable business relations. China is not just one of the leading world economies, but is also more than ever paying attention to sustainable innovation in both development, production and overall business models. This fourth edition of THE ANTWERP FORUM focuses on the future perspectives for China as a possible leader in the global move towards new business approaches and the impact and opportunities for various industries in Europe, such as cleantech, tourism, digital innovation and new technologies. And our regions will become closer, because yesterday there was the departure ceremony of the First Tangshan—Antwerp Regular Container Train. It is the first regular container train from Tangshan to Antwerp of Belgium, operated jointly by Tangshan Port Group, COSCO Shipping Lines Co., Ltd. and China Railway Container Transport Co., Ltd., from Tangshan to Antwerp, Belgium. It will become a new model and new opportunity to promote economic and trade cooperation between China and the province of Antwerp. Be inspired and meet your future business partners during this one-day conference, focused on EU-China business. The Belgian-Chinese Chamber of Commerce, POM Antwerp and the Antwerp Management School wish you a day filled with inspiring views and promising new contacts. So, welcome in the province of Antwerp and enjoy The Antwerp Forum.

JonK723 06-23-2009, 08:27 PM Basically, light inclusion or exclusion is just another way to say "I want this light to affect this object/s but not this object". It's good for things like adding highlights to a specific object without having the like contribute to the lighting of other objects in the scene. The problem you are experiencing is that both light are contributing to the diffuse illumination so you are basically adding light together to get a brighter image. Personally, I'm a maya user and it has a thing called "light linking" (essentially the same thing as in 3d Max). If you want a light to only cast a shadow then you can create a negative light (overlapping identical lights with one casting a shadow and the other not cast a shadow).

Hosts Sri Lanka win World Twenty20 opener Sri Lanka routed Zimbabwe by 82 runs Tuesday as the hosts made a successful start to the World Twenty20AFP HAMBANTOTA, Sri Lanka: Sri Lanka routed Zimbabwe by 82 runs Tuesday as the hosts made a successful start to the World Twenty20 and kicked off the country’s biggest ever sports event. Unorthodox spinner Ajantha Mendis grabbed record international Twenty20 bowling figures of six wickets for eight runs in the Group C game in Hambantota, the home town of President Mahinda Rajapakse. It was the perfect start for a home team that is seeking its first major title since winning the 50-over World Cup in 1996. Tight security and empty seats at the 35,000-capacity stadium failed to dampen a party atmosphere as fans blew vuvuzela horns and danced in the stands. After the win, a brief fireworks display lit up the stadium. Other games will be played in the steamy hill town of Pallekele and the capital Colombo, where the fourth World Twenty20 champions will be crowned on October 7. The 12-team tournament offers the teardrop-shaped tropical island the chance to showcase its lush landscapes, beaches and ancient temples, and turn the page on a 37-year ethnic conflict that claimed up to 100,000 lives. In 2009, Rajapakse’s regime declared victory over the Tamil Tiger rebels, a group notorious for suicide bombings. The brutal final offensive prompted a UN Human Rights Council resolution against Sri Lanka earlier this year. When Sri Lanka co-hosted the 50-over World Cup in 1996, Australia and West Indies kept away after Tamil rebels bombed the Central Bank in Colombo, killing 91 people and wounding 1,200 just two weeks before the tournament. The country also co-hosted the World Cup last year with India and Bangladesh, which passed without incident. For the World Twenty20, elite commandos and bodyguards have been deployed to guard players as part of a security operation similar to those usually reserved for visiting heads of state. The authorities have also launched an undercover operation to ensure there is no corruption by players after international cricket was rocked by a major fixing scandal in 2010. Sri Lanka start the tournament as one of the favourites, although predictions are notoriously difficult in cricket’s shortest format, which has revolutionised the sport and divided opinion since its introduction in 2003. won the inaugural event in 2007, while mercurial Pakistan will hope to reprise their 2009 title run. The teams have been divided into four pools of three for the preliminary league, with the top two from each advancing to the Super Eights round..

Felicity Huffman may be a convicted felon, but for news networks she is TV gold. Everyone from CNN’s Anderson Cooper to ABC’s George Stephanopoulos and NBC’s Savannah Guthrie reached the disgraceful TV star for her 11-day sentence in a poorly secured prison outside of San Francisco, California, TMZ reported. According to TMZ, Gayle King argued that “CBS This Morning” was less “salacious” than competitors’ shows. In May, the actress “Desperate Housewives” pleaded guilty to fraud conspiracy in a national admission scandal. She admitted paying $ 15,000 to cheat on her daughter’s SAT exam. But sources tell TMZ that Huffman has not decided whether she will even do an interview and will probably cancel. She served only 11 days out of her two-week prison sentence and has 250 hours of community service left to complete.

Special Report Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Bailout From science fiction to fact in less than thirty years. In a recent Wall Street Journal opinion piece, Stephen Moore highlighted the parallels between today's economic events and those depicted in Ayn Rand's classic Atlas Shrugged. "Many of us who know Rand's work have noticed that with each passing week, and with each successive bailout plan and economic-stimulus scheme out of Washington, our current politicians are committing the very acts of economic lunacy that 'Atlas Shrugged' parodied in 1957,". Adams prognosticated the current scenario in such detail that it is hard to know where to begin accounting for his accuracy. But perhaps a good place would be the election of Barack Obama, who in Adams's framework is a giant lizard. As the alien Ford Prefect explains to the human protagonist Arthur Dent, an ancient democracy is bound, eventually, to elect only lizards for its leaders.. Precisely right -- in the last election we elected one younger, slightly more government-loving lizard over another older, slight less government-loving lizard, and some of us think that the lizard we ended up with is the best thing ever. They're completely and utterly wrong, of course. Don't hope for anything better in the next election cycle, though. Adams distills the underlying flaw of democracy in one paragraph:. Needless to say, Adam's explanation of the economic situation is much more thorough and accessible than Rand's. Academics, the media, and especially the recently unemployed have spent countless man-hours trying to understand the failures of the wizards of Wall Street to identify properly the enormous risks of the subprime market in their heretofore impeccable mathematical models. Adams sums it up in a single sentence: "The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair." If only the government had known that encouraging over-leveraged banks to increase subprime lending could not possibly go wrong. Where Ayn Rand predicts the burgeoning of government in general, Adams delves into frightening specifics. With the nursing of the financial economy entrusted to "Helicopter" Ben Bernanke, who has credibly promised to be reckless with the money supply, one of the few stories in HHGTTG actually set on earth seems particularly relevant. Arthur Dent discovers, during his time travels, that when the human race first alights on the planet earth, the first finance minister solves the pressing question of what to do to get money by establishing tree leaves as currency (just the kind of expansionary policy that Bernanke would beam majestically on).? "Yes, we do," one can imagine the Federal Reserve Board of Governors crying in response about a year from now when inflation spikes so quickly they decide that they have no choice but to burn down the metaphorical forests. Lastly, Adams captured the defeat of individuality at the hands of the government with far more poignancy than Rand. The reason the main character Arthur Dent is forced to hitchhike the galaxy is that economic planners of the galaxy decide that the Earth must be removed for the stimulus of an interstellar bypass route. And we are shocked at the sticker price when our leaders decide that the market must be sacrificed for a trillion dollars' worth of bypasses, bridges and tunnels. Adams's illustration is much darker than Rand's because it depicts today's hideousness more faithfully. Adams did, however, leave us with a saving maxim to see these times through, one printed directly on the cover of the eponymous Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Don't Panic.

Holland roughed up by Yankees Holland roughed up by Yankees ARLINGTON -- Rangers rookie pitcher Derek Holland came out determined to challenge the New York Yankees on Wednesday. Showing little fear or intimidation, he threw 18 four-seam fastballs in the 91-94 mile per hour range in the first inning, out of 21 pitches. He mixed in just two changeups and one breaking ball. But it turns out that a couple of All-Stars were up to the challenge. After a leadoff single by Derek Jeter, Mark Teixeira hit a two-run home run with one out in the top of the first, and the Yankees went on to a 9-2 victory over the Rangers at the Ballpark in Arlington. "It's definitely different against the Yankees," Holland said. "They have a solid lineup, every one of those guys is a tough out. I was okay with it. I was satisfied with it. There were some things I could have done better. I could have had better location." A.J. Burnett pitched six scoreless innings and Hideki Matsui hit two home runs for the Yankees, who ended up taking two of three from the Rangers in their only visit to Arlington this season.The Rangers drew 120,720 fans for the three-game series, including 38,409 on Wednesday. It's the most the Rangers have drawn for a three-game series since April 6-8, 2007, against the Red Sox. But it's also first time the Rangers have lost a home series since losing two of three to the Royals on April 17-19. The Rangers had won eight in a row at the Ballpark and 10 of their past 12 at home before the Yankees came into town. The loss also kept the Rangers from winning only their second series at home against the Yankees since 1997. The only series the Rangers have won in that span was when they took two of three from the Yankees on May 21-23, 2004. Ian Kinsler hit a two-run home run off reliever Jose Veras in the seventh, but the Rangers were trailing, 8-0, at the time. Most of the damage came off Holland, who allowed six runs -- five earned -- on 10 hits and two walks while striking out five. He is now 1-2 with a 5.70 ERA in two starts and seven relief appearances since being called up from Triple-A Oklahoma. "He held his own," manager Ron Washington said. "Burnett was just too tough. It might have been different if we put up some runs and put some pressure on Burnett, but we didn't do that." Teixeira's home run gave the Yankees a 2-0 lead, and they added another run in the second on a pair of doubles by Kevin Cash and Jeter. Holland did come back with three scoreless innings, keeping the Rangers within striking distance. But they couldn't break through against Burnett despite making him throw 118 pitches in just six innings. Burnett allowed three hits and four walks but struck out seven and held the Rangers hitless in four at-bats with runners in scoring position. Holland couldn't get through the sixth. Matsui hit his first home run of the night to lead off the inning, and then Holland walked Nick Swisher. Brett Gardner followed with a roller to the first-base side of home plate. Holland fielded it but threw wildly trying to get Gardner and runners ended up at second and third. That was Holland's last throw of the night. Jason Jennings took over and gave up a two-run single to Cash. "Holland hung in there pretty good for five," Washington said. "I don't think he got rattled, but you give those guys pitches to hit, they're not going to miss them. This kid will get it. After the second inning, he settled down and put some zeroes on the board. He just ran into some trouble in the sixth." Holland is not done against the Yankees. There appeared to be a growing chance that he would move to the bullpen next week when Vicente Padilla returned from the disabled list on Tuesday. But that possibility could be on hold now that Matt Harrison is likely going on the disabled list with a strained left shoulder. Padilla is scheduled to throw in the bullpen on Friday and if that goes well, he would be ready to come off the disabled list when the Rangers open a three-game series against the Yankees in the Bronx on Tuesday. Padilla could pitch either Tuesday or Wednesday. Holland will likely pitch the other day. "I've got to be ready for them again," Holland said. "I've seen some things, now I've got to be more prepared the next time." T.R. Sullivan is a reporter for MLB.com. This story was not subject to the approval of Major League Baseball or its clubs.

De Silva to head new SLC interim board Former Sri Lanka legspinner Somachandra De Silva was appointed chairman of the new seven-member interim committee to run Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) by sports minister Gamini Lokuge on Thursday. De Silva, 66, who held the post of schools cricket development officer at SLC was also the cricket advisor to the country's president, Mahindra Rajapakse. De Silva, who played 12 Tests and 41 ODIs and coached the junior national team, succeeds former Sri Lanka captain Arjuna Ranatunga at the position, after Ranatunga was sacked by Lokuge in December last year. The interim committee was also dissolved, marking the end of a controversial 11-month tenure for Ranatunga in the hot seat. Ranatunga was replaced by Lokuge's private secretary, S Liyanagama, who was appointed as the competent authority to administer Sri Lanka Cricket until a suitable person was found. However, Nishantha Ranatunga, Arjuna's brother, has been appointed as the secretary of the committee. Former fast bowler and present chairman of the Sri Lanka Cricketer's Association Pramodya Wickramasinghe, cricketer-turned-commentator Ranil Abeynayake, along with Lalith Wickremasinghe and A Gunaratne Weerasinghe will be the panel members. Treasurer Sujeewa Rajapakse is the only person to retain his post from the committee which was previously dissolved.

App Ecosystem: What Do You Need To Know? A while ago I was brainstorming topics for a short (and free) online course about iOS development. It occurred to me that there’s not much information out there, about what you should know when you’re not going to code apps. All of it is focussed on development and there’s a huge information gap for those who’re not necessarily at the coding end of the app world. If you’re not going to develop apps, what do you need to know? I’ve put together some cool resources to answer that question. Pre-Development: What happens before an app is ready? Any new app starts as an idea, and is then turned into a rough sketch: a mockup. I use Balsamiq Mockups for that. It works great because it’s simple and lacks detail, which makes it good for working out rough ideas. The next step is transforming the mockup into a graphical design. This is usually done with Photoshop, which exports to a PSD file.... Continue reading →

Rich Mahan has soulful swagger to spare on the morning-after a one-night-stand song, "Favorite Shirt." The protagonist has (conveniently) left his favorite shirt at the house and is invited back over for breakfast. The object of his desire shows up wearing nothing but his favorite shirt. Great shows of affection ensue. The track comes off of the St. Louis native and Nashville transplant's Blame Bobby Bare album and is a terrific sexy track. Listen HERE. Speaking of soulfulness, no other band in bluegrass shows as much delta blues passion as The Steeldrivers. This last week, they've just released their third album Hammer Down and it's wildly terrific. I had the opportunity to interview singer/fiddler Tammy Rogers for Engine 145 this past August and she said it best when she said, "We’re still murdering people regularly. We’ve still got a high body count. That’s all good." The lyrics are dark and foreboding and lead singer Gary Nichols has taken over for Chris Stapleton and amazingly hasn't missed a beat. The album highlights are "Lonesome Goodbye" and the spurned-lover-who-meets-her-cheater-with-a-.45 "When You Don't Come Home." Listen HERE. Born in Portland, Oregon and raised in the music hotbed of Austin, Texas, Reed Turner finished off his music training four years at Berklee College of Music in Boston, where he majored in songwriting. On his latest Ghost In The Attic album, I was blown away by the haunting fiddle and electric-guitar laden track "The Fire." I asked Turner to explain the deep and symbolic track and he said, "That song was inspired by the housing crisis/economic collapse. I was stunned and angered by the amount of greed and stupidity displayed by a group of people who were seemingly willing to help bring down their own country." Powerful stuff. Listen HERE. Will Hoge and Wade Bowen are songwriting legends, especially around the Lone Star State of Texas. They've just recently collaborated on a new track called "Another Song Nobody Will Hear" that is Hoge's most recent release on the Texas radio scene. For anyone that's found themselves at the mercy of having to create a piece of art that's not a vehicle for wealth development, but a personal validation, it's the perfect message. Listen HERE. Country music radio's seemingly closed door to female artists not named Carrie, Taylor or Miranda belies the fact that there is a whole slew of quality music being put out by the fairer sex right now. There's not a better example than one Katie Armiger. She's released four quality albums since 2007 and doesn't have a top forty hit to show for it. Her January release, Fall Into Me, has some bright spots on it, but none better than the slow burning "Okay Alone" that shows off her big voice and wide range. Listen HERE. On Holly Williams' phenomenal 2009 release, Here With Me, I wrote, ." Fast-forward four years and Williams' new album The Highway is equally personal with all the same emotional nuances. It couldn't be less commercial or country music radio friendly if it tried. But it has more heart and soul than an hour of any country radio broadcast in one song. Listen HERE. Ray Scott's humorous "Those Jeans" wasn't officially released in 2013, but it just has gotten a bit of traction on XM/Sirius Radio this last month and just might see the light of day on terrestrial radio if country music radio has any sense. Scott proves out that honky-tonk humor is alive and well with this song about a cowboy getting the snot beat out of him by hitting on the wrong bar babe. Listen HERE. Age hasn't slowed down Gary Allan one bit. His Set You Free album released this past month sets his unique voice to a tapestry of an album that's reminiscent of passing days and reflective of bright spots in years to come. It's the fact that it's not as polished vocally as much of what is being released now that makes it so real, so believable. He brings his normal passionate delivery and while it doesn't chart any new territory for a song standpoint, it's a great reminder of how Allan is one of this generation's finest and most underrated artists. Listen HERE. John Corbett surprises.). His new independent album, Leaving Nothing Behind, has several good moments on it, but the Western-themed "El Paso" steals the album. With only a nod to the famous Marty Robbins track, this new story of love gone wrong in the Wild West, is terrific storytelling. Listen HERE. Dale Watson is a Texas honky-tonk hero. If you don't believe me, check out the best honky-tonk album released in recent memory called El Rancho Azul. Drinking. Loving. Drinking. Dancing. Drinking. Bars. And Drinking. The one exception is the song that I imagine as a first-dance song with my daughter on her wedding day, appropriately called "Daughter's Wedding Song." Listen HERE. Matthew Mayfield's "Track You Down" opens with this funky little guitar riff that's more bluesy than country and his vocal delivery reminds quickly of Dave Matthews. The fascinating production and urgency of the vocal delivery, matching lyrics and frantic fiddle make this track truly memorable. Listen HERE. Randy Houser's new How Country Feels album can be uneven in places, particularly when he ramps the rocking tempo up on a handful of tracks. But when he slows things down, few artists in country music currently do it better. Three tracks on the album stand out in "The Power of a Song," the Katie Lee Cook duet "Wherever Love Goes" and the album stand-out, "The Singer." The last track is a highly personal and melancholy look at the high costs of following your musical dreams. Listen HERE. Sure, he's done the beach themed thing before. Sure, he's not carving out new territory with the island-bound music video. But damn. I have to admit that Kenny Chesney's new David Lee Murphy-penned "Pirate Flag" is really cool ear candy. I dare any guy not to think of a "long legged model" and "island girl" on a beach while it's playing. Listen HERE. Kris Kristofferson is Feeling Mortal these days and as the legends of his era are passing away around him, his songwriting has turned to themes like mortality and nostalgia. His voice is ravaged from time and use, but no one pens a song quite like the Country Music Hall of Famer. On "Castaway," the album's stand-out track, he uses the open water as an analogy to his personal journey: "Cause like a ship without a rudder/ I’m just drifting with the tide/And each day I’m drawing closer to the brink/ Just a speck upon the waters/ Of an ocean deep and wide/ I won’t even make a ripple when I sink." Listen HERE. A year in Aspen back in 2005 is the only connection that Louise Day has to the American music scene. Born and raised in Cape Town, South Africa, this piano songstress drew on her U.S. musical influences and South African inspirations on her terrific international release of "Nothingville."

Workers' compensation reforms face strong opposition By Jamey Dunn An Illinois House committee passed a workers’ compensation reform package this evening, but most of the committee members voiced reservations about the bill. The measure is the result of the efforts of a Special Workers’ Compensation Reform Committee, which held hearings in December. The short timeline was the reason some legislators gave for their concerns with Senate Bill 1066. Rep. Angelo "Skip" Saviano, an Elmwood Park Republican, said he thought the reforms were being rushed for political reasons, as part of an effort to get a tax increase passed by offering reforms long sought after by Republicans. He voted against the bill, and called for the process to be slowed down. He said the committee’s efforts were a good start. But he added, “I don’t want that start [of workers’ compensation reform] to be flawed out of the gate.” The bill would allow employers to choose the doctor who would check out and treat an employee making an injury claim. If an employee is not satisfied with the doctor, he or she could visit another doctor and get referrals to other specialists from that doctor, and the employer would cover the cost. However, if the employee wants a second opinion beyond that doctor or the referrals, the employer would not have to pay for it. Fees paid to doctors for medical procedures would be cut. Loss of wages awards, which may be required of an employer if a work injury causes long-term problems that impair an employee's ability to work and earn the wage he or she was earning at the time of the accident, would be cut off at age 67. The bill also calls for the creation of a workers' compensation advisory board, with members named by the governor and the four legislative leaders. The board would also include directors of state executive agencies. Opponents of the bill said it does nothing to help injured workers receive better care or rein in the high premium costs paid by businesses for workers’ compensation insurance. “What labor wants is what labor has always wanted on any day or any month of the year. We want good benefits for injured workers. We want injured workers to have rights under the act. And we want … access to good quality health care,” said Michael Carrigan, president of the Illinois American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO). However, Michael McRaith, director of the Illinois Department of Insurance, said Illinois is not a highly profitable state for workers’ compensation insurers. McRaith , who is often a vocal critic of health insurance providers in the state, said: “In this case, it is not an insurance industry problem.” McRaith said employers would see different levels of savings depending on their unique situations. He said they could save anywhere from 5 percent of their current workers’ compensation costs up to 12 percent. He said the state could save $10 million to $15 million. Opponents representing labor and health care interests said they had been cut out of talks on the final version of the bill and called on lawmakers to return to the usual process for workers’ compensation legislation, which involves all stakeholders negotiating a bill they can agree upon. “There were discussions. There were tentative agreements about: ‘Well we could live with this section of the agreement, or we could live with that section of the agreement.’ But they were all contingent upon a deal, a bill,” Carrigan said. “And so, there is no agreement.” Bloomington Republican Rep. Dan Brady, co-chair of the Medicaid reform committee, was skeptical of the odds of reaching an agreement that also contained substantial reforms. “I’m not sure you’re ever going to get an agreement.” Brady’s fellow Republicans — Ed Sullivan from Mundelein and Michael Tryon from Crystal Lake — voted against the final bill. Marion Democratic Rep. John Bradley, the sponsor of the legislation, said the fact that all the major interest groups we’re unhappy with the bill is an indication that it contains substantial reforms. “It’s not a perfect system. And we could come up with anecdotes all day, and we could come up with examples to scare people all day. … Something has to change. And so, none of us want to make all these groups mad. But let’s be honest about what we’re doing. … At the end of the day, something needs to be done. … I’m telling you, we’ve done the best we could do under the circumstances.” The House is expected to take up the issues tomorrow morning. The committee also approved a bill that would limit which state employees can join unions. Chicago Democratic Rep. Barbara Flynn Currie, the sponsor of SB3644, said the percentage of state employees who are union members went from below 80 percent in 2002 to currently almost 96 percent. Currie said having supervisors and the workers they manage in the same union causes problems when the supervisors must mete out discipline. “I think there need to be managers. I think there need be supervisors. I think there need to be people who are in charge at any particular workplace.” The bill would move about 200 jobs from being a part of collective bargaining contracts to management positions that would not be eligible for union membership. Opponents said more state workers have joined unions after seeing nonunion workers targeted for cost saving measures, such as furlough days, pay cuts and layoffs under former Gov. Rod Blagojevich’s administration. They also argued that fewer workers are supervising others as part of their primary duties because the state workforce has shrunk in recent years. “Many of the people who have in recent years chose to be represented by a union, was because of the horrible horrible treatment they received from the prior administration. Their work was not valued. They not only didn’t get pay increases, they got pay cuts. And they came flocking to the union seeking representation,” said Henry Bayer, executive director of Council 31 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME).

Overview Who is Metallurgical Engineer? Metallurgy is the discipline of science and engineering that examines the physical and chemical behaviour of metallic elements, intermetallic compounds, and alloys, which are mixes of metallic components. Metallurgy involves both metal science and metal technology. Metallurgical engineering is a branch of engineering that deals with metals and alloys in various industrial and manufacturing contexts. Material engineering is a sub-branch of metallurgical engineering. A Metallurgist, also known as Material Science Engineer or Metallurgical Engineer, is a mineral expert specialising in the processes for the extraction of metals from their ores. They employ their knowledge of metals, their elements, chemical behaviour, compounds, alloys, and methods to generate metallic materials used to manufacture a wide range of goods. Metal and alloy analysts are primarily responsible for determining metals and alloys' physical and chemical characteristics. Metallurgical engineers contribute to manufacturing and developing new alloys for specific applications, such as lightweight, solid metals for automobiles, aircraft parts or conductive metals for electronics. Material and metallurgical Engineering is a broad area that deals with creating and distributing all types of metal-related products. Metallurgy employs the concepts of chemistry, physics, and mathematics, as well as a grasp of metal manufacturing processes and material behaviour, to convert the earth's natural resources into finished products by extracting metals from ores, producing ceramics from metal compounds and fabricating composite structures, Metallurgical Engineering produces many exotic materials such as metals with shape memories, ceramics for space vehicles, ultrahigh-purity materials for integrated circuits, materials for surgical implants and superconductors. Typical day at work What does Metallurgical Engineer do? A Metallurgical Engineer is educated in metal extraction, refining, alloying, and manufacture. They research many aspects of metals and the detection and extraction of metals from the ground. They convert metals into high-performance alloys, high-purity metals, and novel materials employed in various goods. Metallurgical engineers are responsible for producing materials, evaluating metals, ceramics, and polymer-based composites. In addition, the role of the Metallurgical Engineer is to develop processing methods to create materials. - Design processes and use physical and chemical techniques to separate valuable minerals from ores and reducing minerals into metals and alloys - Plants designed and operated for the production of concentrated mineral and metal products - Oversee sampling at different processing stages for laboratory analysis and testing - Developing and supervising environmentally friendly processes - Test metals in operation, record data and direct on performance and limitations - Study the radiation effects on metals exposed to space environment and nuclear reactors - Change and improve recovery and quality processes, and reduce waste and costs - Confer with other personnel about production methods and quality control systems to improve efficiencies - Limit expenditure, develop budgets and draft technical reports - Assess metal properties to establish the kind of metal to be used - Conduct experiments in power metallurgy and the method of compressing and sintering metallic powders at high temperatures - Research microscopic, x-ray, x-ray diffraction and spectrographic studies of metals and alloys - Tests alloys for anticipated use to study engineering properties and confirm standard safety and quality compliance - Produce alloys to reduce air pollution and to implement testing procedures at lowest cost. - Develop hot-working and cooling processes to change the physical and chemical properties of metals to gain desired properties of being stronger or more adaptable - Assess the effect of exotic or unusual metals - Assess and monitor metal condition for corrosion, rupture or failure both at the site and in a laboratory environment - Conduct destructive and non-destructive tests to evaluate the particular properties of metals like electrical conductivity, durability, renewability - Measure resistance of metals to humidity, high temperatures, chemicals, etc. - Refine molten metals in furnaces - Make metal castings - Analyse new product plans and provide suggestions for selection of material, based on design objectives like strength, weight, heat resistance, electrical conductivity, and cost - Test raw materials or finished products to guarantee its quality - Plan and implement laboratory operations to develop appropriate methods for fabricating and joining materials that meet cost, product specification, and performance standards - Replicate the materials characteristics and components with computers. - Meeting with clients to determine design requirements - Provide technical advice about the suitability of metals - Advice and make recommendation about product feasibility - Undertake new product research and create designs for components - Develop innovative solutions and prototypes to problems - Investigate metal failure/fatigue and corrosion Abilities & aptitude needed What are the skills, abilities & aptitude needed to become Metallurgical Engineer?

In line with the Secretary-Common’s pre-CSW report “Challenges and achievements in the implementation of the Millennium Development Objectives for ladies and girls” , while the three indicators under Aim three mirror vital dimensions of gender inequality, the slim focus of Objective 3 fails to address such essential issues as violence against ladies, inequalities within the division of unpaid care work, women’s limited entry to assets slovakia women, violations of girls’s and girls’ sexual and reproductive well being and rights, and their unequal participation in non-public and public determination-making past nationwide parliaments. For international locations the place knowledge can be found, women spend on common roughly twice as a lot or more time than men on unpaid home and care work. The report stresses that until all dimensions of gender inequality are addressed, the general Millennium Growth Goal of gender equality and ladies’s empowerment cannot be achieved.

14 Jul Spread Your Knees: Learning to Advocate for your Intimate Health Author: Erin Jackson, JD, MA There are two floral potholders on metal stirrups, adding to the lunacy of the situation. Lying there in a paper gown that makes a crunching sound as it collapses into the paper rolled over the table, I reluctantly slide towards my doctor, who’s gesturing for me to come closer. I’m here for myself, for my intimate health. So I gingerly extend each foot to a stirrup, resting them on the potholders. Peering over my knees, I notice that I didn’t even match my socks this morning, and then my doctor’s head appears between the potholders. She grabs her light, moves its glare between the potholders, and gently taps my knees. “Just relax your knees now.” Relax doesn’t belong in this situation or room or physician’s vocabulary. I’ve been taught, like a proper lady, to keep my knees together. I’ve certainly not been told that it’s okay to spread my knees on demand, so long as my host provides cushioned potholder footrests. The experience is unnatural and uncomfortable. And here, I witness the head-on collision of two of my dearly-held values: modesty, meet intimate health. After I’ve been poked and prodded, she gently taps on my knees again and says, “all done!” – and in a tone that suggests the previous moments just flew by. They did not. But this is what I do, what all women do, each year to protect their pelvic and intimate health. I’ve worked hard to push away feelings of embarrassment or discomfort during these exams, and I think that’s imperative for us women whose job it is to guard and advocate for our wellness (PS: that’s all of us). Pelvic and intimate health issues affect vast numbers of women, and many of them battle with undiagnosed, confusing, and painful symptoms each day. Innately female experiences like postnatal prolapse, painful periods, and sexual pain are often kept quiet. Women dutifully endure them, hoping that one day their doctors will spontaneously notice, diagnose, and cure them, or that the symptoms will simply subside. Too often, they don’t, and those women suffer silently. It’s due time for women to step up and serve as their own best health care advocates. Grab a mirror, and get familiar with what your doctor is inspecting during your annual intimate health exam. Write down your questions in advance so you don’t lose your nerve when face-to-face with your doctor. Use trustworthy resources like B-wom, period-trackers, and pelvic physical therapy to familiarize yourself with your pelvic and intimate health and to develop an awareness of your pelvic rhythms and routines. I don’t blush anymore when my doctor asks intimate questions about my pelvic health. Rather than feeling like the subject of an inspection, I have intentionally shifted my perception of my doctor from scary-person-with-speculum to wellness-partner-with-medical-degree. My doctor is an expert in pelvic and intimate health who can help me understand its nuances, and who can soothe my concerns. And on the 364 days each year that I’m not receiving my annual exam, I’m my pelvic health expert. And I’ve gotten pretty damn good at it.

public profile Mahabharatha Tatparya Nirnaya Chapter XIX The episodes of Lakshagriha, Bhimasena's marriage with Hidimba, Killing Bakasura, Draupadi svayamwara, Pandavas settling down in Indraprastha are described in this chapter. The details of these episodes are well-known. Therefore the special points of religious and moral KANIKAconduct highlights in Tatparya Nirnaya and its commentaries will be briefly stated here. Kanika's wrong advice to Duryodhana This chapter starts with instructions of Kanika an expert in the evil policies of politics to Duryodhana. This Kanika was also known as Kalinga. Probably he hailed from Kalinga region. He was a person if Bharadvaja gotra and an adviser to Shatrujna the king of Sauvira. He told Duryodhana that when the close relatives like brothers, parents, teachers, and friends are our enemies, we should talk sweet outwardly and plan for destroying them. Heretics, robbers, theives and poor persons should be employed to kill them by poison. Outwardly we should pretend to be religiously.Rituals, sacrifices etc should be performed. Taking people into confidence by these means we should hit our enemy when the time is ripe. In this way Kanika secretly advised Duryodhana to plan against Pandavas. Duryodhana approached his father Dhritarashtra and appealed to him to send out Pandavas to some other place. Initially Dhritarashtra said Pandavas are also my sons, they are well behaved, brave, they will add to the wealth and the reputation of our kingdom, and therefore, it is not proper to send them out.

Defenseman Jarred Tinordi is fighting to make the Montreal Canadiens’ roster, but he might be forced to miss some time due to his actions Sunday night. Tinordi appeared to connect with Washington Capitals defenseman Nate Schmidt’s head early in the third period, which flattened Schmidt and led to Chris Brown dropping his gloves in defense of his fallen teammate. Tinordi was handed five minute majors for elbowing and fighting as well as a game misconduct. You can view what happened below: As you could see in that video, Schmidt headed to the Capitals’ locker room following the hit. Washington also lost Jay Beagle to an upper-body injury. The Capitals said that he’ll be re-evaluated tomorrow.

This teacher read about the push in Philadelphia to weaken, perhaps eliminate collective bargaining. The School Reform Commission with the guidance of its advisor the Boston Consulting Group (big proponent of privatization without unions and parent to Bain) thinks that if it can create a flexible workforce with performance pay and no job protections, this will attract better teachers. This reader responds: Oh boy, low pay and no protection of any kind, whatsoever. Sign me up. What is the thought process behind “better teachers without a union”? Do they truly believe those Gates funded teacher groups that claim they don’t need a union or a contract? Wall Streeters love churn. Churn is always good to keep labor in line and costs low. I think they call it “creative disruption” In TN, we can thank our legislators for completely eliminating collective bargaining last year. Given the state’s love affair with Achievement Districts (think charters and state-run schools to replace low-scoring schools) and TFA (Kevin Huffman is the Commissioner of Education after all and TFA-ers hold a number of positions at the Dept of Ed), we don’t work in an environment that values career teachers. Speaking of “Fact Checking” Wisconsin schools are stampeding to get in line with PBIS and RTI. Although I see some merit in the philosophy behind RTI, I am disturbed by the uniformity, direction of focus on deficit education (remediation first!), sorting and categorizing of students, and other red flags. As for PBIS I can see no redeeming value even in its underlying philosophy. Still, in the state of Wisconsin we are diving headlong into these reforms while I can find little evidence that these reforms have any positive impact on student learning either academically or socially. I am searching for some “Facts” or research about PBIS and RTI that are independent of the companies selling the programs. Collective bargaining and payroll deduction will all be a thing of the past if Mr. Romney gets elected. Right-to-work, a misnomer if ever there was one, will be the rule of the land. There is national legislation ready and waiting for a Republican victory this November.

Film notes on Dirty Wars Dirty Wars is a 2013 American documentary film based on the book Dirty Wars: The World Is a Battlefield by Jeremy Scahill. The film is directed by Richard Rowley based on a screenplay written by Scahill and David Riker. Release Dirty Wars premiered at the 2013 Sundance Film Festivalon January 18, 2013. The film competed in the U.S. documentary section,[4] and it won the Cinematography award.[5] The film was released in four theaters in New York City, Los Angeles, and Washington, DC on June 7, 2013. Over the opening weekend, it grossed an estimated $66,000, a theater average of $16,500.[4] Reception Critical reception Dirty Wars received critical acclaim. Review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes certified the film as “fresh” with a score of 84% based on 61 reviews.[6] Metacritic rated the film 76 based on 18 reviews, indicating “generally favorable reviews”.[7] Trevor Johnston found the film to be.“[8]However, Douglas Valentine found “…the film is so devoid of historical context, and so contrived, as to render it a work of art, rather than political commentary. And as art, it is pure self-indulgence.“[9][10] Accolades Dirty Wars was nominated for a 2013 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.[11] The film won the 2013 Golden Reel Award for Best Sound Editing: Sound Effects, Foley, Dialogue, ADR and Music in a Feature Documentary, given by the Motion Picture Sound Editors society.[12] Further reading An excerpt from the review at Free Thought Blog: .” An excerpt from the review at CineVue: “It’s explosive subject matter that points fingers all the way up to POTUS himself in attempting to expose the secret actions of military branch JSOC (the Joint Special Operations Command), which Scahill characterises as President Obama’s own private paramilitary unit. Extending far beyond the geographical theatre of conflict, Dirty Wars follows the reporter from the employment of militia in Somalia, to missile strikes in Yemen. It’s this attack which strikes the most fear into Scahill’s heart; he already knows the astronomical scale of the hit list, but he soon discovers that American citizens are on it. “The means of defence against foreign danger have been always the instruments of tyranny at home,” said James Madison over 200 years ago – it’s chilling how keenly they echo through history.” One thought on “Rick Rowley Thursday – Watch: ‘Dirty Wars’ (2013)”

Mailed in 1904 to Toulouse, France, this is a real photo postcard from the Reutlinger studio in Paris featuring a Mlle. Sergy. She is dressed in a long flowing gown and a green velvet cape. Color tinted by hand, the dress has very delicate pastel pink and green accents. With its undivided back reserved exclusively for the address, this French postcard was originally printed in 1903 or earlier. Hence, the sender opted to write on the front. Mlle. Sergy is surrounded by French script. A matte finish, this card shows little surface wear. There is a petite crease in the white border at the center bottom. Otherwise, in overall very good used condition. Size: about 3.5 by 5.5 inches. NOTE that the card does indeed have the warm creamy background color as seen in the original scan. In the photo, the background colors look cooler than they actually are.

III trial is studying different chemotherapy and radiation therapy regimens to compare how well they work in treating young patients with newly diagnosed, previously untreated, high-risk medulloblastoma or supratentorial primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET). More specifically, it will determine whether radiation therapy and carboplatin together are more effective than radiation therapy alone, and whether isotretinoin can improve treatment outcomes. Subject to certain exclusion criteria, the study is open to individuals of both genders, from age 3 to 21, who have been diagnosed with medulloblastoma or supratentorial PNET. Males: Ages 3 to 21 years Females: Ages 3 to 21 years There are 4 treatment groups into which participants will be randomly assigned. Treatment begins within 31 days of tumor removal. For the first 6 weeks, all groups will receive radiation therapy plus the anti-cancer drug vincristine, which is the standard treatment. For the 6-month maintenance chemotherapy stage that follows, 2 of the groups will also receive carboplatin. One of the carboplatin groups and one of the standard care groups will also receive maintenance and additional continuation therapy with a chemotherapy regigmin that will include isotretinoin. Frequency of visits: 5 days a week for the initial cycle; follow-up cycles vary Duration: Approximately 9 to 15 months, depending on which treatment arm participant is assigned Children’s Oncology Group (Study ACNS0332) National Cancer Institute Third Party Study Description at National Institutes of Health For more information about the study or enrollment, please contact: Angela Connelly, RN, BSN 412-692-80.

If you pay attention to M3E beta news, you know that the end of the test is coming soon. Actually, at one point it was scheduled to be done already, but then they went and broke the Journalists and so they had to push it out to another update. In any case, the Beta process should be coming to a close in short order, which makes sense for Wyrd to move towards a Gencon hard release of 3rd edition (IE actual books coming out, models, etc.) Some of you gentle readers have likely been participating in the process, playing a lot of games of M3E. Others (like me) may be giving the game a break to rest and solidify before you put a large amount of mental bandwidth into learning rules that may change next week. Either is fine, let me emphasize. But, if you fall into the latter category, you may want to start getting ready for the switch-over, and might appreciate some guidance on resources you can use to bone up on the new rules and strategies. As such, I thought I’d do a quick sweep of the internet, highlighting some of the resources available to get you up to speed. Wyrd Beta Forums and other web tools The most obvious source of information, of course, is the still open Wyrd Beta forums. All the files are there for your reading pleasure, including the rulesets, models, and upgrades in printable pdf formats. Additionally, there is a great deal of discussion occurring regularly in each of the faction sub-forums as well as battle reports. If you’re looking for the most direct source of information on M3E, this is the place to go. If you don’t want to read through all of them, or are looking for an easy way to throw crews together, a handful of web tool developers are completing the herculean task of developing them and keeping them up to date with each release. This one lets you put a crew together online. There’s an analyzer of the beta files that can be adapted to let you make some printable cards. Third Floor Wars These guys, I would say, are the superstars of M3E content at this point. Led by Craig Shipman, they’ve been steadily churning through the new crews one master at a time to discuss what they and their themed crews’ models do on the tabletop. They started out with the Guild and have (I believe) gone through all of them at this point, moving on to the Ten Thunders now. These are presented in small, bite-sized bits of content, so no need to sit through a long 2 hour ramble to get at the bit of info you really wanted, making them useful to put together a general idea for the very large meta of Malifaux. Best of all, it’s available in multiple formats. You can go to their Youtube channel here, or listen to ports of the videos on the podcast feed here (at the time of writing, the videos are ahead of the podcasts.) Schemes and Stones Kyle took a bit of a break/detour into ToS for a little while, but he’s come back to Malifaux with a vengeance since then. The S&S posts have hopped through various topics, starting with a discussion of introducing the Open Beta materials, discussing a couple of different crew keywords and how they play individually as well as how they play against each other. They’ve taken a look at Euripides vs. Mccabe and Infamous vs. Transmortis so far. Most recently, he and a cohost are taking on faction breakdowns, with the first episode discussing the Arcanists in total. Other Podcasts So the other casts have been hit or miss thus far. The break between editions has been rough, driving most of the casters into hibernation (we miss you Arcane Reservoir). However, since the Open Beta, some peeps here and there have started to be heard. The Flippin’ Wyrds, hosted primarily by Jamie F’N Varney have a few episodes on offering. They were aiming to increase the frequency of their releases, and predictably they seem to have failed to do so (I kid because I love, guys.) But they deliver great content, so whenever you put something new out, you should listen. Additionally, a preview episode of Max Value with Travis and everyone’s favorite coffee slurper came out back in January. They can be a quick way to hear some assorted opinions from around the world of Malifaux. The thing is, we know these guys make great content, so if they (or any other Malifaux casts) are on hiatus, keep an eye on their feeds to see if they'll be making a comeback with the release of the new edition. And quickly before you go... Adepticon is coming! And Malifaux Musings will be there! I intend to make the trip down the road to Chicago in a couple of weeks for Adepticon, one of the most consistent tournament conventions nationwide for Wyrd games. There’s going to be a handful of Titan battle royals, a The Other Side one commander tournament, painting competitions, and a farewell to M2E tourney. You can find tournament packets there. Additionally, I’ll be bringing along M3E cards for my crews and will be looking to get in as many pick-up games of The Other Side or Malifaux as I can. And, if you beat me, you will receive one free “IOU A Blog Post” marker from me, allowing you to pick a topic for a 1000 word Malifaux Musings post in the future. Not enough for you? Then you should sign up to play The Other Side, Fatemastered by yours truly. If you survive, maybe you can pick a blog post topic too!

And the only way to properly celebrate a birthday is to stuff your face with a big Windows Vista cake!By NickO on 30 January 2008 One year on from the launch of Windows Vista, you'd think Windows Vista: The Official Magazine team would be doing more useful things like preparing for the launch of Service Pack 1, but instead we ate cake. We had one made especially for us by a local bakery bearing the Windows Vista logo, and boy did it look impressive.

Apple Inc. is widely expected to launch the iPhone 6 in September. German carrier Deutsche Telecom has told its officials that the device will reach customers on September 19. Amid all these rumors and speculations, Jefferies analyst Peter Misek took a trip to Asia to witness the development in supply chain. Misek has a Buy rating on Apple with $700 price target. Suppliers offering concessions on iPhone 6 components The iPhone 6 build plans remain unchanged at 80 million units in the second half of this year. That’s about 50% higher than the iPhone 5S shipment in 2H, 2013. Misek said Asian suppliers are extremely optimistic about the device. Meanwhile, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. (LON:BC94) (KRX:005930) has reduced the Galaxy S5 builds from about 70 million to 60 million units, indicating a slowing demand. Suppliers told Jefferies that they will face a disappointing year if they don’t supply for the iPhone 6. So, they are offering pricing concessions, boosting Apple Inc.’s bottom line. The tech giant is also expected to raise the iPhone 6 price by $100, which could help its margins. Though the research firm expects the iPhone 6 shipment to be 50% higher than the 5S in the first three quarters of launch, it says that its assumption could be conservative. Suppliers to produce 40 million units of the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 Jefferies says that the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 will most likely be launched in September. Its in-cell LCD display is expected to be produced primarily by LG Display and Japan Display. Taiwan Semiconductor Mfg. Co. Ltd. (ADR) (NYSE:TSM) (TPE:2330) will be responsible for the A8 processor. For the 5.5-inch model, Apple Inc. is aiming for a November launch. But delays due to display production issues could push the launch to Chinese New Year (February 18, 2015). Supply chain checks suggest that 40 million units of the 5.5-inch iPhone 6 will be produced in the initial 12 months. Jefferies says that the iWatch is ready for full production, so it could be launched at any time. The Cupertino-based company is expected to launch an upgraded Apple TV box later this year with gesture and voice control features. And yes, Apple Inc. hasn’t given up on the full-fledged iTV, which Jefferies says could be launched in 2H, 2015. Misek believes that the successful launch of iWatch and iTV could create multiple expansion. The company has procured thousands of TV panels at 55-, 60-, and 65-inch sizes.

A total of 47 anti- Semitic incidents have been reported in the UK over the past two weeks as British Jewry faces amid the first signs of an anti-Semitic backlash to the Middle East crisis. A swastika daubed on a house in Hendon The Community Security Trust said the number since the start of the month compared to 58 for the whole of July 2013 and represented “almost double what would be expected”. While the organisation said some of the incidents are yet to be fully analysed, its blog reported that around 30 appear to be directly linked to the conflict between Israel and Hamas. The “overwhelming majority” of those involve verbal or written abuse or threats, face to face or in phone calls, graffiti, email or online. It’s not yet known whether the daubing of a swastika on a property in Shirehall Park, Hendon – discovered on Monday morning – is connected to Israel’s operation to halt rocket fire from Gaza. The CST said it’s “especially concerned by incidents in which people attending pro-Palestinian demonstrations have turned anti-Semitic”. The blog said: “In Manchester on 12 July, after a pro-Palestinian rally that included a “Drive for Justice” to the BBC, a group of four of five cars with occupants of south Asian ethnic appearance passed through the Jewish neighbourhood of Broughton Park.”. Community security chiefs said so far incidents in the UK “pale in comparison” to events in France where a Jewish-owned shop was ransacked and a shul was firebombed. Scores of congregants had to be rescued after a mob broke off from a pro-Palestinian demonstration and attacked another shul. The blog said: “Here in Britain, the situation is less severe, but remains highly volatile. It is understandable that Jews, Muslims and others have strong opinions about the conflict. “Nevertheless, it is neither inevitable nor excusable for people to express their strong feelings by attacking Jews or by using antisemitic language. We call on all people, from all communities and authorities, to use their influence to put a stop to this growing escalation before it becomes even more threatening.”

My little terraced house was put up for sale, and (as the estate agent predicted) a buyer was found within days. The next few months though proved to be a long series of frustrating disappointments and minor annoyances: the buyer's solicitor went bankrupt and lost all the paperwork, then the buyer had trouble raising the finances required to complete the purchase and after months of delay, dropped out of the deal completely. Suddenly the housing market hit a slump, rumours of a recession were rife and to add to my frustrations the empty house attracted the attentions of an opportunistic burglar who failed to gain access, but managed to break two large windows in the attempt. My life was far from comfortable; I was living in a run down, rented building, living out of suitcases, sleeping on the floor, washing my clothing in a bucket and sharing my house with rodents. Knowing that this was only a transitional period and having the daily benefit of Lisa's optimistic guidance helped me see this as my own little adventure. As bad as things seemed, I sensed that my life was at least heading in the right direction. The house sold very quickly on the second attempt, and with Lisa's continual prompting, I was sent wandering the streets of Darwen, searching for an ideal location for my next property purchase. Before that story can begin though there was the small matter of a trip to America.... Andrew.

A wide expanse of nothing rolls from edge to edge of a digital page. The Muse spends a moment trying to see if there is a black on black horizon somewhere, but it’s a simple emptiness. She sighs and heads over to where the Writer sits, feet dangling over an invisible edge. “I’m going to regret this, aren’t I.” The Muse sits carefully on the edge of nothing. “Yup.” The Writer squints into the nonexistent distance, then looks down at her hands. “Made you something.” She offers the mostly round ball of clay to the Muse. “Tada!” “Gee. Thanks.” The Muse takes the clay with the sort of joy normally reserved for small children and vegetables. “You’ve got forever to work with and I get a golf ball.” “It’s not a golf ball.” The Writer poked the lack-of-ground, “It’s, um, Primordial Ooze?” The Muse gave her a look. “Well, okay, Primordial Golf balls then.” “I’d say something about lemons and lemonade, but—-” The Muse rolled the ball between her fingers and sighed. “Mudpies?” The Writer held up another handful of clay. The Muse grinned and shifted from aimless rolling to more concentrated manipulation. “Let the cooking begin!”

Remember Clippy — or more formally Clippit, the enthusiastic paperclip assistant in Microsoft’s Office Suite? On July 14, 2021, Microsoft tweeted that if a photo of Clippy received 20k likes the company would replace the paperclip emoji in Microsoft 365 with Clippy’s likeness. To date, the tweet has received more than 171k likes. It’s official: Clippy is receiving the emoji treatment! (Shout out to every generation fueled on a love for nostalgia that helped make this possible.) Who’s Clippy? Once upon a time, there was a software program called Microsoft Office for Windows. This program was available in Versions 97 to 2003. Illustrator Kevan J. Atteberry created Clippit, later nicknamed Clippy, as the default Office Assistant in Office 97. Clippy has bushy eyebrows, big, kind eyes, and a grin made possible by its steel wire bent into a looping shape. Atteberry notes on his website that the paperclip helper “still annoys millions of people every day.” See, Clippy was notorious for popping up on the screen while you were in certain programs like Microsoft Word. The character, often sitting atop a sheet of notebook paper, would identify the task you were doing through its intelligent user interface. Then, Clippy would ask if you needed help. Because, y’know, Clippy’s job is to be an assistant. You could choose one of the help options available. Or you could pick the option not to seek Clippy’s help, and the paperclip would disappear unless called upon again. Unpopularity and Fan Resurgence Clippy wasn’t the only Office Assistant. Other Assistants included a magician named Merlin and a grinning red ball known as The Dot that offered aid to those in need. However, Clippy is often best remembered due to the character’s unpopularity. Users of Microsoft Office for Windows expressed dislike and annoyance of Clippy. Major media outlets like Time criticized the character’s design. Even high-ranking employees at Microsoft seemed embarrassed by their own quasi brand mascot. Clippit received a new redesign for Office 2000, but by then it was too late. The feature was turned off in Office XP and the character removed from Office 2007’s debut. Despite the character’s short shelf life, diehard Clippy fans were determined to get the little guy his gig back at Microsoft. In 2019, Microsoft introduced an animated pack of stickers for Microsoft Teams chat software. These stickers included Clippy in various poses including happily greeting others and sipping coffee. However, within a day the stickers starring Clippy were killed off by Microsoft. A petition immediately began to circulate to bring back the Clippy sticker messaging pack in the Microsoft Teams forum. Despite receiving 5,248 votes and 935 comments, a member of the Microsoft Teams engineering teams responded that Clippy planned to continue his retirement. However, the teams admin did express that Clippy was flattered to receive this much positive attention. Clippy’s New Life as an Emoji Aside from the tweet encouraging fans to like Clippy, we really have Claire Anderson to thank for believing in Clippy. Anderson is an Art Director and Emojiologist for Microsoft. She recently blogged on Medium about why Microsoft was refreshing more than 1800 emoji. The decision is less about remaining relevant with the changing emoji landscape. Rather, it is the realization that as everyone became a remote worker during the COVID-19 pandemic, we have relied on emojis to evolve with us. These symbols express our thoughts and feelings as we continue to work remote and gradually shift into hybrid workplace models. Anderson goes on to detail that the new rollout of emojis in Microsoft 365 will be 3D designs instead of 2D. Using the animated Clippy transforms the standard, flat paperclip into one that is full of personality while winking back to Microsoft’s roots. The newly revamped Clippy, and the rest of the 1800+ redesigned emojis, will begin arriving to Teams and Windows during the 2021 holiday season. Yammer, Outlook, and more Microsoft software properties may anticipate their arrival in 2022. Welcome back, Clippy! You’ve never looked better as an emoji!

So in this article I'll compare the same angle of view on full frame and the 4/3rds. I say angle of view as focal length is really a meaningless measure unless you clearly understand the relationship between that and format ... not everything in the world is 35mm you know. Thus we are talking about a wide angle of view in this article. Before I moved over to the Panasonic G1 I was a Canon EOS user for many decades (well since about 1990 actually). I have owned the EOS 10D and 20d but I have not owned a full frame digital, I of course still have 35mm bodies lying around. So looking at the diagram to the left to get the same 73 degrees angle of view the smaller sensor (yellow line) needs to be much closer to the lens than the larger sensor (blue line). This means that for the smaller sensor you need a much shorter focal length to get the same angle of view. So more or less if you use a 21mm lens on your 35mm camera you need a 10mm lens on the 4/3rds. If all things were as simple as this then there would be no problems, but they of course are not so simple. For a start the difference between the 35mm frame and the 4/3rds frame means that to get the same angle of view you need about 1/2 the focal length (again since the aspect ratio is different its not exactly that, but lets leave this simple). As it happens designing a zoom lens of such short focal length that will work on a digital camera is not simple and is as such more complex than a 21mm on a 35mm. This means that your lenses may be more expensive. I used for this experiment an old Olympus 21mm f3.5 lens on the full frame and an Olympus 9-18mm Zoom for the Panasonic 4/3 camera. As I said I don't have a full frame digital camera, so the full frame images are scanned 35mm film. I used 200ISO negative. Actually this turned out to be an interesting basis for also comparing the latest digital with 10 year old film based digital photography (yes, I call scanned film digital ... no ni). So firstly lets have a look at the overall image from the 35mm: Next (not quite the same angle I'm sorry) the image from the G1. Looking at the overviews I think you'll agree i got the colour quite close ... to get the same look I started with the RAW file and processed that significantly using a few steps which I've learnt. Its interesting to see how the shadow details are similar on both but the digital still managed to have trouble with the white of the birch trunk. That might look ugly in printing if your not careful. I still find that negative film has much better recording capacity when you need to deal with strong light. I certainly found this in my previous explorations with my 10D and 20D, but its interesting to see that nothing has changed, and even careful use of RAW files does not stop this. Secondly I am immedately struck by how much nicer the background "bokeh" looks on the 21mm lens ... to me the 10mm looks harsh and distorted. The little Olympus 21mm is a sweet lens for sure. Now onto the detail. Below is a screen shot of the images at 50% res on the screen. I find this a useful determination of how a print will look at close inspection. Bear in mind we're essentially looking at a print which would be 34.0 x 25.5 cm ... Its really close isn't it ... If you think that the top of the mushroom is looking a little fuzzy, thats because the 21mm lens has a shallower depth of field at f5.6 than does the 10mm lens, and the focus was 'just slightly' ahead of the mushroom ... need to be careful in focusing manually! But depth of field will be effected as the important criteria there is the diameter of the aperture, not the f-stop. Please take a moment to read my article here to confirm that for yourself. So to have an 10mm lens giving the same DoF as I get with my 21mm @ f3.5 I would need around f1.8 The Olympus 9-18 zoom is simply not that bright, its f4 so to get the same DoF I would need to stop the 21mm down to f8 From this I'm sure you can see that the "look" of images between the lenses focused on something close will not be equal if we get the f-stop the same. I thought I'd try another angle, one that requires distance this should eliminate DoF and get rid of the significance of any Bokeh. Full Frame G1 I think you'll agree that aside from colour matching them (close but no banana) the images look more or less the same (well and aspect ratio). Differences in colour rendition is significant though as I think that the digital image (lower one) handles the subtle grades in the sky better than negative does ... this is something I've found before, that digital is better suited to capturing subtle shades than Negative is, and that negative works better when you have a wide dynamic to capture. Looking at the detail there is surprisingly little in it. There is of course no difference between Depth of Field (as infinity is all thats in the focus here) but its also quite significant that the film scanned with the Nikon LS-4000 holds so well against the digital (or is it that the digital does so well against the film? you pick). So, this cements in my mind that larger format (sensor or film) works best for wide angles. I would very much like to compare a 5D or other full frame sensor camera to the G1 as I think that it would be just fantastic. On the other hand the G1 costs so little that if you pop that onto your 300mm lens then instead of needing to buy a 600mm lens on a full frame camera you'll get better wildlife shots, this for example was a legacy FD series 300mm lens on my G1: Bang for buck that's cheaper than buying anything for the full frame. My summary is that - If you want wide angle and want nice Bokeh then use a full frame camera and a 21mm lens - neg has better handling of sunny contrasty conditions, - wide angle on the G1 (small sensor) is ugly compared to full frame, but telephoto on the G1 or APS sensor is advantaged - unexpectedly the G1 pulls very close to the 35mm in outright resolution (which means that the main advantage of digital is still workflow and materials costs) - if desiring of shallow depth of field, when using lenses wide open aperture favors larger formats like full frame (but 6x7 and large format really needs movements to correct for and is harder to manage) 2 comments: Couldn't agree more. I'm finding the micro-4/3 concept a better and better alternative to big lumbering dslrs, for all intents and purposes as fun to use as, and on top one can easily mount just about any lens on them, which is even *more* fun! The G1 is number one in my list at the moment, with perhaps the GF1 a close second. Video is not attractive to me, so the GH1 loses. Noons I hear you ... If I'm gonna lumber something along I'd seriously consider a good 6x7 or 6x9 120 film rangefinder. With the G1 tossed in to the bag (at only 600 grams with a lens) you get the best of both worlds (and a nifty light meter for the Medium Format ;-)

WordPress .com or .org; which one should you pick? If you’re new to website building, you may not be aware of the difference between WordPress.com and WordPress.org. You may not even be aware that they were two different sites. There is in fact a big difference between the two, which you need to know about if you’re considering using one of these platforms. What are WordPress.com and WordPress.org? WordPress.com and WordPress.org are platforms which can be used to build a website. The two platforms have a co-founder in common, hence the name similarity – which causes an awful lot of confusion. The main difference between the two is in the hosting. - On WordPress.com they take care of the hosting for you, so your website is hosted on their server. - On WordPress.org you have to purchase your own hosting. About WordPress.com (free version) WordPress.com offers a variety of plans, it’s most basic being free. This allows you to start a website without having to invest in it straight away. This is a good platform to use if you’re not sure whether to commit to updating your website regularly, or if you just want a website for personal use such as a family blog. However, there are a lot of disadvantages in choosing to build your website on wordpress.com. - Customisation is very limited. You have to choose from a small range of ready-made themes, and these cannot be edited. - Plugins are not compatible with wordpress.com so these cannot be used to add features to your website. This further limits the possibilities of your website if you choose to build it on this platform - Branding and adverts are a big downfall on this platform. WordPress place their branding not only on your website but also in your domain name (which they give you for free). They also place their own adverts on your page, which you don’t earn anything from. - Earning money from a website is not an option with wordpress.com. - The Paid plans aren’t up to scratch. They give you some more customisation options, but still limited compared with other platforms. About WordPress.org (paid for version) WordPress.org is a service that is much better suited to those who wish to build a website that has the opportunity to grow, be unique and potentially earn an income. Building a website with wordpress.org is not necessarily harder, but there is more you have to do, such as buying a domain name and hosting. Take a look at this post about the first steps to building your own website For every disadvantage of wordpress.com, wordpress.org has the solution. - The customisation possibilities are endless, as you can use custom themes, or any other theme you like. You can also edit these in any way you fancy. - There are over 48000 free plugins available for wordpress.org. You can install any free or paid for plugin, meaning there are so many features your website can have to make it more functional.To find out what a WordPress plugin is, click here. - You can remove the WordPress branding from your site and because you buy your own domain, you won’t have WordPress in that either. - Your website can earn an income on wordpress.org. You can even have adverts that earn you money. - There are multiple SEO plugins available, that can help you keep track of detailed analytics to further help your website to grow. The platform you use is entirely up to you, and depends mainly on what you want from your website. If all you want is a simple and easily built website, set up in 5 minutes, WordPress.com will be fine. It’s limitations however, will be a massive hurdle if you want your website to grow and expand. Using WordPress.org gives you the opportunity for growth, and endless possibilities in terms of customisation and earning an income. So for businesses, we recommend WordPress.org.

Introduction from Dennis Shirley Welcome to the The Mindful Teacher. This is a website that is designed to provide a virtual community of inquiry and practice for all educators who are seeking more mindful and humanistic schools and systems. This website is organized into three sections. The first section is entitled “Practice.” It provides resources, including guided meditation tapes that are specifically designed for educators to assist us with calming our bodies and focusing our minds before, during, and after school. It also provides reviews of mindfulness apps and other resources for meditation practice. The second section is entitled “Learn.” It provides access to new research on mindfulness and education. Some of this research will have a focus on the impact of new technologies on our schools and systems. Additionally, it will explore whether or not it is possible and desirable to use new technologies mindfully in schools. It also includes interviews with teachers and researchers that explore mindfulness from a variety of perspectives. The third section is entitled “Connect.” Here we will provide you with prompts to support dialogue and exchange with other educators about our efforts to support greater mindfulness in education. We especially welcome comments from educators who find creating more mindful classroom environments to be challenging. If we are honest and open about how difficult this can be in our schools, we can provide greater levels of support for one another. We face many challenges, and have many great opportunities, in the education profession today. The Mindful Teacher seeks to provide a new space to explore those challenges and opportunities with one another. Thank you for your interest and for your dedication. Enjoy!

AMM-52: ministers discusses series of regional issues The ministers affirmed their determination to fully and effectively implement the ASEAN Community Vision to 2025, continuously implement orientations and initiatives to build an ASEAN of self-reliance, creativity and sustainable development. They agreed to promote efforts to implement the ASEAN Leaders' Vision Statement on Partnership working methods and operation efficiency of ASEAN. The ministers underscored the importance of solidarity within ASEAN and the bloc’s central role in external relations, agreeing that ASEAN will continue to expand and deepen relations with its partners. They agreed to introduce to partners about the ASEAN Outlook on the Indo-Pacific (AOIP), emphasizing the group’s goals and principles in cooperation for a peaceful and prosperous Indo-Pacific region. The ministers reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening cooperation to maintain and promote regional peace, stability and security; and effectively address People’s Republic of Korea, considering these a contribution to the long-term goal complying with international law and the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea UNCLOS 1982, and called on the sides to practice restraint, to not militarize, to avoid conducting acts that complicate the situation, and to settle disputes by peaceful means on the basis of international law and the UNCLOS 1982. ASEAN countries are committed to continuing efforts to fully and effectively implement the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the East Sea (DOC) and to soon reach the effective and practical Code of Conduct in the East Sea (COC). Speaking at the event, Vietnamese Foreign Minister Pham Binh Minh highly valued results of the 4-year implementation of the ASEAN Community Vision to 2025. He called on ASEAN member nations to continue promoting intra-bloc solidarity and cooperation, and maintain its central role in external relations. He stressed that the East Sea situation is complicated, including unilateral acts like militarization and increase of military exercises, especially the violation of Vietnam’s exclusive economic zone and continental shelf for illegal exploration activities by China’s Haiyang Dizhi 8 with the escort of their coast guard ships. These actions seriously violate Vietnam’s sovereign right and jurisdiction prescribed in the UNCLOS 1982, Minh said, adding they are subsequent to the large-scale encroachment and militarization of the disputed structures in the sea. Furthermore, they also eroded trust, intensified tension and directly affected peace, stability, security, safety, freedom of aviation and navigation in the East Sea, violated the DOC and went against the commitment to maintaining a favourable environment for COC negotiations, he said. He suggested ASEAN maintain solidarity and common voice, reaffirm its principles and commitments to peace and stability, call for restraint and non-unilateral actions that harm dialogues and regional cooperation and hinder legitimate economic activities of the coastal countries, and try to build an effective and practical COC.

A variable annuity is a tax-deferred retirement account, the value of which varies based on the performance of the underlying portfolio of mutual fund-like investments. A variable annuity is a type of annuity—a financial product that allows an individual to invest money in either a lump-sum payment or scheduled, periodic payments—and then collect a stream of payments at a later time, typically during retirement. You can rollover qualified variable annuities—those established with pre-tax dollars—into a traditional IRA. Qualified annuities are often set up by employers on behalf of their employees as part of a retirement plan. Non-qualified variable annuities—those established with after-tax dollars—are not eligible for a rollover to a traditional IRA, but you can move them into other types of non-qualified accounts. Key Takeaways - A variable annuity pays out a retirement income that is determined by how well the underlying investments perform. - A variable annuity differs from a fixed annuity, which provides a specific, guaranteed payout. - Qualified variable annuities, meaning financial products set up with pre-tax dollars, can be rolled over into a traditional IRA. - Non-qualified variable annuities, meaning products set up with after-tax dollars, can't be rolled over into a traditional IRA. - However, non-qualified variable annuities can be rolled over into other non-qualified accounts. Characteristics of Variable Annuities Variable annuities are investment vehicles that have some life insurance benefits. They are popular in retirement planning because they offer tax-deferred growth and certain guarantees on principal, a future income stream, and a death benefit for heirs. Like other investment products, a variable annuity can be held in either a taxable account or in a tax-advantaged qualified retirement plan. The funds within the variable annuity can be allocated across sub-accounts, which are similar to mutual funds, for participation in the stock market or bond market. Combined with the unique benefit of guaranteed income, annuity contracts are useful as a pension replacement or as a supplement to other retirement income. An annuity is a product created and sold by financial companies that gives out a stream of payments to an individual, either at a fixed or variable rate. These products are typically used as an income stream in retirement. Rolling Over an Annuity to an IRA Several employer retirement plans come in the form of a variable annuity contract such as a 457 or 403(b) plan, especially in the public sector. When people change jobs, they can still rollover one of these tax-sheltered annuities to a traditional IRA tax-free. You also have the option to rollover the funds to a Roth IRA. That move will require you to pay income taxes that year on the total amount converted. Variable annuities purchased outside of the workplace can also be rolled over to another qualified annuity via a 1035 exchange. This is a non-taxable transfer often used to gain access to a new annuity contract with different investment options, better riders, or lower expenses. As long as the funds remain in qualified status, no taxes are incurred.

Generalizing the Permanent-Income Hypothesis: Revisiting Friedman's Conjecture on Consumption Abstract Friedman's contribution to the consumption literature goes well beyond the seminal permanent-income hypothesis. He conjectured that the marginal propensity to consume out of financial wealth shall be larger than out of "human wealth," the present discounted value of future labor income. I present an explicitly solved model to deliver this widely-noted consumption property by specifying that the conditional variance of changes in income increases with its level. A larger realization of income not only implies a higher level of human wealth, but also signals a riskier stream of future labor income, inducing a higher precautionary saving, and thus giving rise to Friedman's conjecture. Appropriately adjusting human wealth for income risk, I show that Friedman's conjecture may be formulated as a "generalized" permanent income hypothesis. I further show that Friedman's conjecture captures the first-order effect of stochastic precautionary savings. Finally, I propose a natural decomposition of the optimal saving rule to formalize various motives for holding wealth as emphasized in Friedman, M., 1957. A Theory of the Consumption Function.

In an area of detached houses many things in the neighborhood may irritate you. By law, neighborly relations are handled in the Act on certain neighborhood relations, which was adopted in 1920 and subsequently amended several times. In the public there has been a case in which the neighbors have been arguing even in the Court of Appeal over a hedge. This dispute is a good example of a case in which the neighborliness is at least not getting better. It should have been able to be settled outside the court. Although reconciliation would not have been achieved, interest in the dispute is in any case very small, taking into account the risk of the costs of the trial. According to the law, a neighbor is entitled to remove the disturbing branches and roots on his side. Such a right exists when the neighbor next door does not respond within a reasonable time after receiving the request to remove them. In addition, the prerequisite for taking action is that the branches or roots cause harm. The dispute was that the defendant’s aronia berry hedge was partially on the neighbor’s side. The claimant requested the District Court to order the defendant to remove the hedgerow. The District Court sentenced the defendant, according to the claim, to remove the shrubs and pay the claimant’s costs. The hedge has become already very expensive at that stage and the owner of the hedge was forced to pay. The defendant did not settle himself for this, but complained to the Court of Appeal. The Court of Appeal came to the opposite conclusion. According to the Court of Appeal, the law does not include any legal obligation of the defendant to remove the hedge from the neighbor’s side or to compensate for the costs of removing the hedge. The claim was therefore not based on the law. The law only allows the claimant to remove the disturbing branches and roots on his own. The claimant therefore lost the case. The court sentenced both parties to pay their costs themselves, even though it would have been possible to sentence all the costs to the claimant. As a result, both of them had to bear their own costs which were around € 25,000 total. Hopefully the parties had their legal expenses insurances fine. It is possible to continue the dispute even in the Supreme Court if a party receives leave to appeal. So what was the outcome of the dispute? Both neighbors lost their money. Possibly the hedge is still on the plot boundaries if the lost party has not taken the branches off from his side. The horticultural or aesthetic outcome is not necessarily very nice, given that the removal right applies only to the branches and roots on the party’s own side.

Published: Jan 1963 Compressive properties for polyethylene, ethyl cellulose, and cellulose acetate butyrate are reported for stress rates ranging from static conditions to 1,000,000 psi per sec and for five test temperatures. The solid cylindrical specimens had a slenderness ratio of 8, and the specimen ends were lubricated. Stresses at 2 and 6 per cent strain and secant moduli are reported for over 330 tests. Tests were conducted with the aid of a commercial tester and a pneumatic-type, high-speed compression machine developed for this study. A second study was conducted to investigate the influence of specimen length on the compressive properties of plastics. Room-temperature tests were conducted at essentially constant strain rates by using a prescribed crosshead velocity with each length of specimen. The results are used to interpret the data obtained at high loading rates. Author Information: Ely, Richard E.

JOHNNY MARTINEZ, 02-B-1549, PETITIONER,v.JAMES BERBARY, SUPERINTENDENT, COLLINS CORRECTIONAL FACILITY, RESPONDENT. The opinion of the court was delivered by: Michael A. Telesca United States District Judge ORDER I. Introduction Pro se petitioner Johnny Martinez ("petitioner") has filed a timely petition for habeas corpus pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 2254 challenging his conviction in Monroe County Supreme Court of Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance in the First Degree (former N.Y. Penal L. § 220.21(1)) and Conspiracy in the Second Degree (N.Y. Penal L. § 105.15) following a jury trial before Justice David Egan. Petitioner was sentenced as a second felony offender to a determinate term of imprisonment of twelve years for the possession charge, concurrent to four and one-half to nine years on the conspiracy charge.*fn1 II. Factual Background and Procedural History On November 28, 2001, Rochester police officers executed a search warrant at 47 Lime Street in Rochester, New York. Underneath a floorboard in the attic, police found a bag containing over thirteen ounces of a substance containing cocaine. Also recovered from the house was an electronic scale and $900 in cash. Trial Tr. 195-210, 246-248, 254-256, 269-277, 300-313. Petitioner, his girlfriend Santrese Jones ("Jones"), their infant daughter, and Jones' teenage brother, Lamar occupied 47 Lime Street. During the search, police located a portable safe in the kitchen that contained personal documents bearing petitioner's name and listing his address as 47 Lime Street. Upon his arrest, petitioner told police that he lived at the Lime Street residence. Trial Tr. 199-200, 269-270, 277, 278-287, 594, 598-599, 608-609, 681. Pedro Peguero ("Peguero") testified that sometime around July 1, 2001, he agreed to sell petitioner three kilograms of cocaine for $75,000. David Barrios Canal ("Canal") was instructed by Peguero to deliver the cocaine to petitioner and collect the money. On July 3, Canal's car was stopped by police, who recovered $80,000 from a hidden compartment in the car. According to Peguero, a portion of that money was petitioner's partial payment for the cocaine delivered to him by Canal. On July 16, 2001, Pegeuro was arrested and charged with distribution of cocaine. Trial Tr. 516-519, 569-570. Based in part on the information obtained from Peguero, police began investigating petitioner and obtained a wiretap authorization to monitor his phone calls made from a cellular phone. They also conducted periodic surveillance of petitioner. Trial Tr. 333-334, 336-338, 352, 506-507, 533, 550, 600, 648-649. That investigation ultimately culminated in the search of 47 Lime Street in November of 2001 pursuant to a search warrant. Petitioner testified in his own behalf at trial, denying that he lived at the residence where the cocaine was seized by police. Jones and another individual, Shon Bradley, also testified for the defense. Following the jury's guilty verdict, petitioner was sentenced as a second felony offender to concurrent terms of imprisonment, the longest of which being fifteen years to life. Trial Tr. 775, Sentencing Tr. 6. Petitioner was resentenced in 2005 on the possession charge to a determinate term of twelve years. Resentencing Tr. 8-13. Petitioner appealed his conviction to the Appellate Division, Fourth Department, on the following grounds: (1) the trial court erred in denying petitioner's motion challenging the legality of the search warrant; (2) the trial court erred in admitting records for which no proper foundation was laid; (3) the trial court erred in permitting expert testimony regarding the recorded telephone conversations; (4) the jury's verdicts were against the weight of the evidence and not supported by legally sufficient evidence; and (5) cumulative trial errors deprived petitioner of a fair trial. Respondent's Appendix ("Appx.") A. The Fourth Department unanimously affirmed the judgment of conviction. People v. Martinez, 39 A.D.3d 1246 (4th Dept. 2007), lv. denied, 9 N.Y.3d 878 (2007). Petitioner now seeks a writ of habeas corpus, raising a number of grounds for relief, including ineffective assistance of trial counsel, Fourth Amendment violations, evidentiary errors, and legal insufficiency and weight of the evidence. See Petition ("Pet.") 2-3, 17; Petitioner's Memorandum ("Pet'r Mem.") 2-24.

International Brent crude oil futures LCOc1 were trading at $49.00 at 0403 GMT, up 5 cents from their last close. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures CLc1 were at $48.04 per barrel, up 8 cents from their last settlement. Traders said market activity was low due to the U.S. $27 per barrel earlier this year. Beyond OPEC, traders said the strong U.S.-dollar, which is at levels last seen in 2003 against a basket of other leading currencies .DXY, was influencing oil prices. A strong dollar, in which oil is traded, makes fuel purchases more expensive for countries using other currencies at home, potentially crimping demand.
