Connie Moore, M.Ed., began her career as an artist in 2003 when she opened a digital art studio and gallery in Waynoka, Oklahoma. (Waynoka is a cute little town in a rural setting … though not an especially keen environment for selling art, it is an amazing "uptown" gallery! Come visit! It is worth the trip.) …. In the summer of 2011 her creative journey in layered mixed media abstract art began. She discovered her love for this art process and was heavily influenced by the vast artistic community of Mendocino, California. (Mendocino is a gorgeous setting and creativity easily flows here. It, too, is worth the time, money and effort to visit.) In the summer of 2014, her creativity took yet another turn when she attended a week-long workshop from world-known master artist, Charles Becker. Then in 2016 she began working with world-known master artist, Brian Davis to further her technique in still life oil realism. The contrast of striving for a realistic outcome as opposed to the spontaneity of the abstract art pieces opened up new levels of fun for her. Opposites of the discipline required with the realism in the still life oil and the energy of the free flow of the acrylic abstract keeps the artwork process fresh and moving forward.
Connie enjoys a quiet life on a farm north of Waynoka, Oklahoma with her husband and greatest supporter, Richard L. Moore, Ph.D. and their dog, Zoe.
They also spend several months per year at their coastal home in Mendocino, California.

Q: error during build using sandcastle help builder with visual studio 2010 .NET 4.0 project I was using sandcastle to generate help for my project in visual studio 2008. When i change my project to visual studio 2010 and change the project .NET version to .NET 4.0 i got this problem with Sandcastel. I can't understand why sandcastel is using C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v3.5\MSBuild.exe
and not
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0\MSBuild.exe
thinking that i specified as framework version the v4.0.30319
Can anyone tell me how to resolve this issue?? Where to change the path of the msbuild.exe or some other solution ???

-------------------------------

SHFB: Error BE0043: Unexpected error detected in last build step.  See output above for details.

A: The current version of Sandcastle does not support .NET 4 without some config hackery. There is a new version that should be available quite soon, expected to support .NET 4 out of the box.
Edit: the latest Sandcastle is available now; perhaps that will solve your issue, since it includes .NET 4 support.

A: I had the same problem today, and this post helped me resolve it: http://shfb.codeplex.com/Thread/View.aspx?ThreadId=214594
Solution summary:
Step 1:
Ensure you've got the latest Sandcastle patches, especially for VS2010, available at: sandcastlestyles.codeplex.com. As of today, it is 'Sandcastle May 2008 Patch Rev 3 '.
Step 2:
Add another supportedRuntime element to the 'MRefBuilder.exe.config' file that utilizes the RTM version of .NET 4.0:
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0.30319"/>

I still had the error after step 1, then step 2 finally fixed it.

A: I ran into this same problem with the latest version of the Sandcastle Help File Builder v1.9.1.0 with regards to the Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UITesting library.
I resolved it by copying the referenced UITest assemblies (buried in the Visual Studio directory) to the directory containing the documentation source.  Then bingo the build worked for the Sandcastle Help File Builder.

A: In my case it was caused by a bad xml comment code item.

Study shows mean screens prime the brain for aggression
by Iowa State University

Research over the past few decades has shown that viewing physical violence in the media can increase aggression in adults and children. But a new study, co-authored by an Iowa State University psychology professor, has also found that onscreen relational aggression -- including social exclusion, gossip and emotional bullying -- may prime the brain for aggression.
Douglas Gentile, an associate professor of psychology at Iowa State, was one of four authors of the study "'Frenemies, Fraitors, and Mean-em-aitors': Priming effects of viewing physical and relational aggression in the media on women," which was recently published by the journal Aggressive Behavior. The study of 250 college women showed that mean screens may also activate the neural networks that guide behavior.
"What this study shows is that relational aggression actually can cause a change in the way you think," said Gentile, who runs the Media Research Lab at Iowa State. "And that matters because of course, how you think can change your behavior."
Sarah Coyne and David Nelson, both researchers in Brigham Young University's School of Family Life; and Jennifer Ruh Linder, a professor of psychology at Linfield College (Ore.), were the study's other authors.
In the study, the researchers evaluated the cognitive patterns of the college women after they viewed one of three fictional video clips. One clip depicted physical aggression, including a gun and knife fight that ended in murder. A second clip portrayed relational aggression, where girls steal boyfriends, spread malicious gossip and kick someone out of their social circle. The third clip was simply a scary scene, one that would raise the heartbeat.
Researchers assessed physiological arousal, finding that all three films produced similar levels of excitement. They then measured reaction times when aggressive or neutral words flashed on a screen. Participants who had watched either aggressive film clip ascribed more meaning to words connected with aggression.
"Past research has shown that viewing physical violence on TV activates aggressive scripts in the brain, but our findings suggest that watching both onscreen physical or relational aggression activates those cognitive scripts," Linder said. "Viewers don't simply choose to imitate TV characters or make a conscious decision to engage in aggressive behavior. Aggressive reactions are more automatic and less conscious than most people assume."
Gentile sees the study having significance to today's societal norms.
"This matters because relational aggression tends to be considered more socially acceptable -- it's often portrayed on television as funny and how friends treat each other," he said. "Yet, several studies are starting to show that relational aggression can cause long-term harm."
And some of the most highly publicized effects have been a result of the rising incidence of cyberbullying, which Gentile says is a classic case of relational aggression.
"We're treating cyberbullying as if it's something totally different and totally new. It's actually relational aggression and it does all the things that relational aggression does," Gentile said. "You can spread rumors, you can ignore people, I can unlike you on Facebook, I can tell your secrets, and I can lie and make up stuff. So this study relates to cyberbullying."
The researchers say more research is needed to determine whether their results are gender-specific, and whether this script activation indeed changes behavior.
Psychological bullying hits just as hard

Astronomy Across Europe
Usually, when talking about astronomy, it appears as though all knowledge originated from Europe. This is certainly not the case. Big names like Newton, Hooke, Galileo, and Kepler all fed off of each other's work, leading to advancements being made but they did not come up with their ideas in a vacuum. In fact, even within Europe many female scientists have had their contributions ignored.
Ireland has been one of the first countries to emerge with a strong line of female astronomers, who have been influential in their own right.
Perhaps the first of these was Agnes Mary Clerke. Born in 1842 in Cork, Clerke began taking astronomical observations herself when she was 15, using her father's telescope to write herself a history of astronomy. As she grew older, her interest continued, and by the time she was 35, she had published two articles in The Edinburgh Review. After this, she wrote three books on astrophysics, mostly about star development.
She looked at one of the prevalent ideas at the time about the formation of stars – that they were made of the same matter as meteorites – and she critiqued this theory. Clerke's writings pointed out that astronomers should be looking for ideas about how stars formed in the first place, and should try and chart their life cycles, rather than just assuming that stars are constants of the universe and do not change over time. This turned out to be a valuable insight – we now know that stars form from nebulae and go through many different states of being from when they are created to when their fusion sources run out.
Agnes Mary Clerke was an inspiration to later generations of astronomers; Edinburgh's own Mary Brück was fascinated by Clerke. Brück herself was born in County Meath, Ireland, and after she retired from her senior lecturer position at the University of Edinburgh, she wrote a book about Agnes Clerke and what life was like for female astronomers in the 19th century.
In Northern Ireland, the most significant astrophysicist of modern times is Jocelyn Bell Burnell. While studying at Cambridge, she co-discovered the first 4 pulsars ever identified. Pulsars are a type of neutron star that emit light from either end of their axis. As they spin, the beams of light either faces closer to or away from Earth, making their brightness appear to vary from Earth. This type of emission was not expected by scientists at the time, and so when Bell first detected pulsars, she had to push for the results to be examined; some people in her research group thought their readings were due to faults in the observation equipment.
Jocelyn Bell co-discovered pulsars.
In Europe from the 15th century onwards, there were enormous breakthroughs made in astronomy. Some of these were ideas that had already been popular elsewhere in the world; Indian astronomer Aryabhata knew that the Earth rotated around the Sun long before Galileo first made his ideas public.
Uraniborg, the research facility where both Tycho Brahe and Johannes Kepler spent time.
Still, many advancements in astronomy were made over the centuries by European scientists learning from their predecessors. Johannes Kepler, the German scientist who first accurately described planetary motion, was hugely influenced by both Copernicus and Tycho Brahe. He was Brahe's assistant, and together they embarked on writing an accurate catalogue of the stars. It was from Copernicus, however, that Kepler made his greatest discovery, using the Copernican model of the solar system, with the sun as the centre. From these influences, Kepler was able to come up with his three laws.
Today, astronomy is popular around Europe, continuing everywhere from the European Space Agency to Edinburgh's own Royal Observatory.

Symmetries of patterns and lights
by Luke Mitchell
Many of us in physics will recognise the name Brewster; especially if you have learned about optics. Sir David Brewster was born in Scotland on 11th December 1781. He was a champion for physics and optics in the 18th century, all self-taught. He was involved in the development of understanding of the laws of light polarisation, polarisation induced by heat and pressure, metallic reflection, biaxial crystals and many more natural light phenomena. He studied Divinity at the University of Edinburgh. He later became Principal of the University in 1859 at the age of 78 until his death in 1868. There is statue of him outside the School of Chemistry.

I det følgende omtales kun den ene art, som er vildtvoksende i Danmark samt nogle få arter af hortonomisk interesse, f.eks. Selaginella apoda. Ved juletid sælges sorterne Selaginella martensii 'Watsoniana' og 'Variegata'.

Nogen arter (f.eks. Mos-Dværgulvefod kan minde om mos eller egentlig Ulvefod, mens andre arter kan minde om bladene på Thuja.
Nogle arter er ørkenplanter og flere af disse har samme egenskab som Jerikos Rose, nemlig at miste den grønne farve og krølle sig sammen i tørkeperioder. Andre arter er tropiske skovplanter der ved første øjekast minder om Bregner.

I Nord-Amerika findes – udover vor hjemlige Mos-Dværgulvefod – også arterne S. apoda, S. densa, S. eclipes – alle i de varmere, sydlige områder. Mod nord træffes også S. rupestris der tillige er fundet et enkelt stede på Grønland.

The Christian Leadership Programme has been working within the prisons in the Western Cape to include: Helderstroom Maximum Security, Brandvlei Medium and Brandvlei Maximum.
Most of them are involved with some form of evangelical ministry within the prisons. Preaching every morning in the communal cells; running Bible studies; prayer meetings and a great deal of one-on-one ministry.
Every week when Syd Eaby, our CLP lecturer visits any of the groups someone thanks the Lord for this Christian Leadership Program. Syd has been serving in the prison ministries for nearly 15 years but has shared about the impact after his involvement with the bringing the Christian Leadership Programme to them.
We have had the privilege of graduating several students from the programme over the years, some of whom were released and are now serving the Kingdom in the general public.

Revolution #200, May 1, 2010
Coming in May: Big Changes at revcom.us!
Big changes are coming at revcom.us in May—changes that will make the site one that welcomes people to real revolution, and gives them a big picture of the movement we are building.
At the core of the new revcom.us site are the two "mainstays" of the RCP's all-around revolutionary work. The site will feature and promote the work of Bob Avakian, his history and character as a rare and outstanding communist leader, and—on the broadest level—his connection to revolution. It will provide easy access to Bob Avakian's writings, audio downloads, and the video of his talk Revolution: Why It's Necessary, Why It's Possible, What It's All About.
The new site will make the content of Revolution newspaper more attractive and accessible. Articles and other content will be updated frequently, indexed by topic, and easier to share across the web. And the new site will give people access to major documents of the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA.
There will also be a section of the site devoted to Building the Movement for Revolution—including the RCP's current campaign (see editorial on page 3). This will be a center for sharing experiences, articles and comments from readers, correspondence, organizing materials, and much more.
This is a first step. And as the site develops further, it will increasingly become an online hub and pivot for the movement for revolution—a place where people can discuss and debate—in a uniquely vibrant atmosphere—the big questions of the hour, and the world. And a place people come to get organized to respond to major developments in the world—to fight the power, and transform the people, for revolution.
There is much ongoing work to do, and funds to raise, to bring the new site to life in May. To help, contact rcppubs@hotmail.com; to contribute funds, click the donate link at revcom.us.

Tesla (TSLA 314.59, +2.38, +0.76%) shares rose last week after the company reported its second straight quarterly profit on Wednesday, January 31.
This morning, the company announced the acquisition of Maxwell Technologies (MXWL 4.57, +1.50, +48.86%) in an all-stock deal worth ~$200 mln. Maxwell is a leader in energy storage and power delivery solutions whose dry electrode manufacturing technology makes ultracapacitors to help the manufacturing of batteries. So, this is a strategic deal for Tesla to bolster its manufacturing capacity.
Last week, Tesla narrowly missed fourth quarter earnings estimates, but revenue growth was in the triple-digits for the second straight quarter amid exponential growth in production and deliveries of the Model 3.
Tesla captured 80% of the electric vehicle market in 2018 as the Model 3 became the best-selling passenger car in the US in terms of revenue in the second half of the year.
Tesla guided for deliveries to grow 45-65% to 360,000-400,000 electric vehicles in 2019, which was toward the low end of expectations. The company noted that the expiration of the US EV-tax credit pulled forward some demand in the fourth quarter, which has skeptics once again questioning demand. Tesla also warned of a softer first quarter.
However, the company will begin delivering the Model 3 to Europe and Asia this quarter. Tesla said there is still a large reservation backlog but did not update that figure. It seems many are holding out for a $35,000 option. Tesla said that could be available mid-year. The company also announced cost cuts in order to achieve the economies of scale to produce a $35,000 option profitably.
On the call, Elon Musk narrowed its demand estimate for the Model 3 to 700-800K per year (in a good economy). He said a factory in Shanghai is going up rapidly and will start producing the Model 3 by year end. What's more, Model Y crossover production could start early next year. Elon Musk also said Tesla could unveil the pickup design this summer.
At the end of the earnings call, Tesla announced that CFO Deepak Ahuja will retire again. He came back for a second stint at a Tesla a few years ago, so his departure doesn't come as a big surprise, but the ongoing turnover among management at Tesla does raise some eyebrows. Incoming CFO Zach Kirkhorn has been at Tesla for nine years.
Fourth quarter results did seem to put to rest concerns over the balance sheet after the company reported GAAP profitability and positive free cash flow for the second consecutive quarter.
Still, Tesla remains one of the most controversial stocks in the market. Bulls see Tesla transforming the transportation sector while bears remain skeptical of Elon Musk's lofty goals and the robust valuation, among other things.
With a ~$54 bln market cap, Tesla trades at ~50x EPS estimates, 16x EV/EBITDA and ~2.3x sales. Tesla is expected to grow operating profit nearly 500% to $2 bln with sales up 35% in 2019.

Aston Villa slipped to yet another Premier League defeat on Saturday as they went down 3-0 to Watford at Vicarage Road
Alex Dicken
Dean Smith has told his Aston Villa under-performers to step up after their embarrassing defeat to Watford on Saturday.
Despite Watford going down to 10 men in the second half at Vicarage Road, they added two further goals to seal a convincing 3-0 victory over Villa.
The claret and blues remain in the relegation zone after a 12th defeat in 20 Premier League games and bid to bounce back against Burnley on New Year's Day.
And Smith, who received plenty of criticism from supporters after Saturday's slip up, has warned his players that they need to quickly rediscover their early season form.
"Hopefully this is a line in the sand for players to start stepping up and performing as they were earlier in the season," he said.
"That was not good enough on Saturday for sure, certainly the first half.
"The second half was packed with incident and they have scored two goals I am very, very annoyed about. But as players and as a manager we have got to be better than that."

If Villa are to survive the dreaded drop from the Premier League January will undoubtedly be a key month. Smith's side face Brighton and Watford after their meeting with Burnley and need a healthy points return ahead of a daunting run-in.
Smith also hopes to be boosted by a few new arrivals in the transfer window with Villa understood to be in the market for attacking reinforcements.

Q: OCR Support with Tesseract via SOLR Good day,
I'm trying to configure SOLR to use Tesseract OCR engine for text extraction from images, but did not have success yet.
SOLR extracting fine text from structured text documents (.xls, .pdf, doc, etc), but it does not want to call Tesseract module for text recognition.
I'm using

*

*SOLR v.7.4.0

*Tesseract version 4.1.1

*TIKA 1.18 version (build-in in SOLR, no standalone version)

Tesseract is installed in to the following directory:
/usr/share/tesseract/4/tessdata/
echo $TESSDATA_PREFIX - > /usr/share/tesseract/4/tessdata/
tesseract -v
tesseract 4.1.1-rc2-20-g01fb
leptonica-1.76.0
  libjpeg 6b (libjpeg-turbo 1.2.90) : libpng 1.5.13 : libtiff 4.0.3 : zlib 1.2.7 : libwebp 0.3.0

Command tesseract test.jpg  test.txt  produces accurate txt file with OCRed content from test.jpg.
solrconfig.xml, TesseractOCRConfig.properties, ParseContent.xml files were modified to point to Tesseract installation.
Has anybody done such configuration ?

A: Good day,
We solved the situation. Here is what was used and changed:
In our installation we used Tesseract  version 3.05, Tika version 1.17, SOLR version 7.4.  We actually, had TIKA version 1.17, not 18.
1. Changed from HOCR to TXT  >>>      in file parseContext.xml
2. Had to start SOLR as a root user.
Version 4.1.1 is not compatible with TIKA 1.17 , so we will upgrade SOLR to version 7.7, TIKA version 1.19 and will try to install Tesseract 4.1.1enter image description here

Impact of sea ice on the marine iron cycle and phytoplankton productivity
Bailey, D
Lindsay, K
Moore, JK
Holland, M
Abstract. Iron is a key nutrient for phytoplankton growth in the surface ocean. At high latitudes, the iron cycle is closely related to the dynamics of sea ice. In recent decades, Arctic sea ice cover has been declining rapidly and Antarctic sea ice has exhibited large regional trends. A significant reduction of sea ice in both hemispheres is projected in future climate scenarios. In order to adequately study the effect of sea ice on the polar iron cycle, sea ice bearing iron was incorporated in the Community Earth System Model (CESM). Sea ice acts as a reservoir for iron during winter and releases the trace metal to the surface ocean in spring and summer. Simulated iron concentrations in sea ice generally agree with observations in regions where iron concentrations are relatively low. The maximum iron concentrations simulated in Arctic and Antarctic sea ice are much lower than observed, which is likely due to underestimation of iron inputs to sea ice or missing mechanisms. The largest iron source to sea ice is suspended sediments, contributing fluxes of iron of 2.2 × 108 mol Fe month−1 in the Arctic and 4.1 × 106 mol Fe month−1 in the Southern Ocean during summer. As a result of the iron flux from ice, iron concentrations increase significantly in the Arctic. Iron released from melting ice increases phytoplankton production in spring and summer and shifts phytoplankton community composition in the Southern Ocean. Results for the period of 1998 to 2007 indicate that a reduction of sea ice in the Southern Ocean will have a negative influence on phytoplankton production. Iron transport by sea ice appears to be an important process bringing iron to the central Arctic. The impact of ice to ocean iron fluxes on marine ecosystems is negligible in the current Arctic Ocean, as iron is not typically the growth-limiting nutrient. However, it may become a more important factor in the future, particularly in the central Arctic, as iron concentrations will decrease with declining sea ice cover and transport.

WTO does not come to agreement on 'green' products
Ministers and senior officials from the 18 participants in the Environmental Goods Agreement (representing 46 WTO members) met in Geneva this weekend to work towards liberalising trade on a range of important environmental goods. Constructive talks were held and progress was made, but participants were not in a position to close the existing gaps at this point. The intensive discussions set the stage for further talks in the near future.
Director-General Roberto Azevedo said:
"Participants negotiated in good faith and made good progress towards an agreement. I believe that the knowledge and understanding gained in these discussions will help us to move forward in the near future. I urge participants to show whatever flexibility they can to help conclude the deal.
"This is not the usual kind of trade agreement as it is focused on protecting a common global good: the environment. The trading system should be in a position to make a positive and meaningful contribution towards tackling environmental degradation. I believe that all delegations involved in these discussions remain committed to this, and to building on recent achievements such as the Paris Agreement on Climate Change and the UN's 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda.
"I would like to thank all delegations for their intensive work. I would also like to thank Michael Froman, US Trade Representative, and Cecilia Malmström, European Trade Commissioner, as co-chairs of the ministerial discussions this weekend, and Andrew Martin of Australia for his efforts as chair of the overall negotiating process."
The 18 participants representing 46 WTO members account for most of the global trade in environmental goods. Since January 2014, they have been engaged in negotiations to slash duties on products used in a variety of environmentally-related functions including: generating clean and renewable energy; improving energy and resource efficiency; reducing air, water and soil pollution; managing solid and hazardous waste; noise abatement; and monitoring environmental quality.
The EGA participants are: Australia; Canada; China; Costa Rica; the European Union (representing Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Republic of Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom); Hong Kong, China; Iceland; Israel; Japan; Korea; New Zealand; Norway; Singapore; Switzerland; Liechtenstein; Chinese Taipei; Turkey; and the United States.

KWS acquires tomato breeding company
Einbeck/Wageningen, March 10, 2021
KWS is consolidating the expansion of its new vegetable seed business with the acquisition of the vegetable seed company Geneplanta S.r.l., domiciled in Noceto/Parma, Italy. The Company, founded in 2011, focuses on breeding, production and sales of tomato varieties. Its main sales areas are realized in Italy and Mexico.
KWS is developing its own vegetable seed business through a greenfield approach with organic growth, supplemented by suitable acquisitions and the sales of licensed-in varieties. Tomato is one of the world's most important and for KWS one of the most strategically relevant vegetable crops along with peppers, cucumbers, melons and watermelons.
"We are delighted to welcome the Geneplanta team into the KWS family," said Dr. Léon Broers, KWS Executive Board Member responsible for Research & Development and the Business Unit Vegetables. "They have established an attractive tomato portfolio within a relatively short period of time for the plant breeding industry". "With the introduction of Geneplanta, we have gained access to high-performance genetic material and will be able to significantly accelerate the development of our own tomato breeding programs globally", added Paul Degreef, Head of the Business Unit Vegetables at KWS.
Geneplanta's entire business will be integrated into the KWS Vegetables Business Unit. The acquisition was completed on March 9th, 2021.
Background: New business unit for vegetable seeds
In the summer of 2019, KWS announced its entry into the long-term growth market for vegetable seeds. This move included the acquisition of Dutch vegetable breeding company Pop Vriend Seeds, the world market leader in spinach seed. Over recent months, KWS has been concentrating on staffing the new business division as well as on launching its own breeding activities in Spain, Brazil and Turkey.
The global vegetable seed volume is estimated at approximately six billion euros annually and a growth rate of roughly five percent per year. A stronger awareness of healthy, vitamin-rich nutrition as well as global population development are the key drivers of this growth.
About KWS*
KWS is one of the world's leading plant breeding companies. Around 6,000 employees in 70 countries generated net sales of around €1.3 billion in fiscal 2020/2021. A company with a tradition of family ownership, KWS has operated independently for 165 years. It focuses on plant breeding and the production and sale of seed for corn, sugarbeet, cereals, vegetables, rapeseed and sunflowers. KWS uses leading-edge plant breeding methods to continuously improve yield for farmers and plants' resistance to diseases, pests and abiotic stress. To that end, the company invested more than €250 million last fiscal year in research and development.

Sales Tax Commission gets more aggressive
As reported recently, sales tax revenue for the city of Minden has increased significantly from the same time last year. However, Webster Parish is missing out on a portion of its sales tax revenue due to delinquent business taxpayers.
Customers pay Webster Parish sales tax at each business in the parish and businesses that deliver to or perform a taxable service in the parish. Each of these businesses is required to remit all sales tax collected in the previous month to the parish and state by day 20 of the next month. For example, sales tax remissions for March will be due this Friday, April 20.
For one reason or another, some businesses have not remitted the sales tax due to Webster Parish. Cyndy Herrington, an administrator for the Webster Parish Sales and Use Tax Commission, said delinquent accounts are not a new problem.
"This has always been an issue," she said. "It has become more public in the last couple of years. We are also taking more aggressive measures to collect the tax."
Herrington said out of a total of just under 6,000 accounts, the current delinquency rate is around five percent, or just short of 300 businesses.
Penalty and interest rates accrue on delinquent accounts. The parish mails a "failure to file" notice to delinquent taxpayers each month. After several steps are taken to obtain a response from the business, the parish can file suit and order the business to close.
"We give the taxpayer ample opportunity to remit the tax due," Herrington said. "We are willing to work out a payment agreement in order for the business to remain open, and if they fail to follow through with that, we have no choice but to have the court order them to close."
According to the Louisiana Revised Statute 47:337.82, these delinquent businesses could "be fined not more than ten thousand dollars or imprisoned, with or without hard labor, for not more than five years, or both." Herrington said the parish has been aware of this statue, but until now it has not been used as part of collection procedures.
"Recently, I have been in discussion with the local sheriff's office to work together in the enforcement of collections," she said. "Sales tax that has been collected and not remitted is theft, and we are doing everything in our 'toolbox' to collect. A business should not be surprised if a local sheriff's deputy shows up at their door."
Herrington said in the end, it is much less costly for a business to pay the tax they have collected.
"This will save them an excessive amount of penalties and fees and potentially having to close their business," she said."

'When you are running in an urban environment, you need to feel safe, when people can see you coming and stand out, especially in winter when it gets dark earlier,' Stella revealed.
'But at the same time we used it on a leopard print, so it's not so masculine and graphic. We also have glow-in-the-dark key rings which have a nice sense of humour, which you can have if you are a man, a woman, or a kid,' she added.
Just the incentive we need to keep us running right through winter!

KALAIGAON, May 28 - The AASU's Kalaigaon anchalik committee has raised serious allegations against the Principal of Kalaigaon College for allowing a number of Higher Secondary first year students to HS second year against cash payment.
A memorandum in this connection signed by Ranjit Nath, president and Madhurjya Sarma, general secretary of AASU's Kalaigaon unit was addressed to the state's Education Minister and routed through the Deputy Commissioner of Udalguri.
The memorandum stated that there had been gross anomalies and violation of examination norms in Kalaigaon Junior College for several years.
Although various student organisations of Kalaigaon had taken up many agitational activities over the years, including dharna and submission of memorandums to the Assam government and BTC authorities, the Principal of Kalaigaon Junior College, however, has remain unscathed and undeterred till date.
The AASU alleged that Arabinda Das, Principal of the college demanded an amount of Rs 1,000 to Rs 1,500 from each failed student of HS first year class for promotion to HS second year class during the current year, i.e., 2019-20.
Several such students had submitted complaints to AASU's Kalaigaon office against the Principal under reference. The AASU also mentioned in the memorandum that the said Principal is an accused in several cases under Sections 354/376/506.
The AASU, therefore, has urged the Education Department of Assam and BTC authorities to inquire into the matter and take immediate punitive action in the interest of the poor students who could not make payments due to financial constraints.

Islamist terrorist suspect convicted in Belfast
Pete Baker on November 24, 2005, 11:25 pm20 Comments | Readers 24
The BBC report that an Algerian, Abbas Boutrab, arrested in Belfast in April 2003, has been convicted at Belfast Crown Court of possessing and collecting information "for a purpose connected with the commission, preparation or instigation of an act of terrorism". The 27 year old had been charged under three aliases. When arrested a number of false identities and passports where found which he had claimed were "used simply to facilitate his drifter lifestyle throughout Europe" As David Sharrock reported in the Times, among "items recovered from Mr Boutrab's flat were a circuit board, a stethoscope, grinding tools, various clamps, grips and spreaders. A stolen Nokia pay-as-you-go phone was also found that had received calls from London." Update Channel4 News has an excellent video report here[wmv file 11Mb]David Sharrock also reported that –
He [Abbas Boutrab] had applied for asylum in the Netherlands in the 1990s using the name Brahmin Abaoui. In 2001 he had applied for asylum in the Republic of Ireland with the name Yocef Djafari. In May 2002, after a road accident in the Republic, he had given police a Dutch passport in the name of Abbas Fawwas. In July that year he had applied for asylum in Northern Ireland.
At his initial arrest and interview by immigration officers in Belfast in April 2003, he had claimed to have entered Northern Ireland by train from the Irish Republic, having previously travelled from Algeria through Morocco and without being interviewed by border officials at Dublin airport.

Q: Front-end Image Upload with Preview - Is this Possible in WP? I created a front-end form and have several image upload fields.  I was able to create a post and have the images attached.  But what I would like to do is have the user see a preview of the image they are about to upload before submitting the Post.
I've read quite a few alternatives, Uploadify, Valums.com http://valums.com/ajax-upload, SWFupload and a few others I can't remember.  But the problem with all of them is that once i implement them in the form, the images are no longer attached to the post, but only uploaded to the server.
Any suggestion or code sample I can use to do this?  I have scoured the net for an answer - perhaps it's just not possible in WP to preview an image and also attach it to a post in one form?

A: Just add this scripts in header

Add for Internet explorer:

Add style to the header.

Note this should be added in header of that page or ur theme
and this will be upload bar
with preview
u can also cancel the preview with this
<input type='file' onchange="readURL(this);" />

 img id="img_prev" src="#" alt="your image" />

In general, D-Link's DSM-510 does a reasonable job of serving multimedia content. I could view a wide variety of video file including DivX, XviD and MPEG. And unlike the DSM-520, the 510 had no fatal issues playing my music library. I also liked that it worked well with the array of UPnP AV servers that I tested it with.
But like most of these types of devices, the 510 has its share of bugs. The inability to auto-detect my digital TV connection was a major annoyance. For the photo capability, the screen-saver bug was a fatal flaw for any slideshow longer than five minutes. And I found the bundled Nero UPnP AV server more of a pain to use than similar servers.
In comparison to D-Link's DSM-520, the 510's main disadvantage is its reliance on a Windows PC to transcode video files. This means that it can play fewer video files formats when being fed from standard UPnP servers. It also means that the 510 is not really the compact, quiet and power-efficient device that it seems to be. Because behind the scenes, you need a Win XP/2000 PC sucking power and spewing noise and heat so that the 510 can do (all of) its thing. I also found interaction with the 510 to be a bit more sluggish then the 520.
Price-wise, a web search found the 510 to run around $30 less than the 520—not a huge savings. So given that the 520 doesn't require a PC to bring it up to its full feature set (and assuming that the album art bug has been fixed), I think I'd prefer the 520 over the 510.
And how does the 510 stack up to other similar devices? In some respects, the 510 is similar to the Buffalo LinkTheater Mini, I reviewed a while back. Both have the same diminutive form factor and use a transcoding Windows PC to do translate video into supported formats.
But the Mini is more of a low-end entry-level device, both in price and features. It has only analog audio and video connections, lacks a USB port and supports far fewer formats in hardware than the 510. The main thing the Mini has going for it is price, which is about $100 vs. the 510's $200.
My current choice among the devices I've tested is still the Netgear EVA700 due to its ability to handle a large number of formats and its ease of interaction with other servers on my network. But in general, all of these devices are still a bit cumbersome to use. It will be interesting to see how the new AppleTV pans out. Maybe, just maybe, it will do to competing networked media players what the iPod did to rival MP3 players. It should be an interesting year.


On the road for his North American live theater tour, Conan O'Brien and his crew spent part of their Cinco de Mayo at Google's headquarters in Mountain View, Calif., for a YouTube chat with Google's Vic Gundotra (who tried too hard) that showcased O'Brien's talents as a performer and an improviser. During the 48-minute session, O'Brien talked about how the past few months have been such a transformative experience for him, talked about his use of Twitter (and how NBC, among other things they didn't get during this late-night shuffle, may have wanted to shut his Twitter down?), explained to an audience member how Reggie Watts became the perfect fit for his tour as the opening act, let another audience member rub his hair, and brought out Andy Richter to answer a question about Andy Richter. Among the other essential things we learned: Richter apparently never left Conan in the 1990s to become a prime-time star, and even more apparently, he told us that Google's bathrooms have "front-cleansing"?!
Watch the whole thing at your leisure. Contains closed-captioning, and a few choice words of profanity. Roll it!
Conan O'Brien is a legend!!! Is there anyone funnier alive today?
Some people say this guy, Adam Hunter, is the next up and coming Conan. Check him out and make up your own mind.

EndFoodWaste.org co-chaired the first ever Zero Food Waste Forum with Dana Gunders and Emily Martin of the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) on October 16, 2014 in Berkeley, California. For more on this event, please click here and for an image slideshow of this event and a slideshow the fabulous recovered food served by Food Shift and Falling Fruit, please click here.
From October 15th through October 18th, 2014, experts and implementers came to Berkeley and Oakland, California from 16 states and 7 different countries to elevate the dialogue around food waste. As Jonathan Bloom, said "If the food waste movement is gaining steam in the U.S. then these events will be it's Woodstock." There were filmmakers (for the U.S. premiere of Just Eat It), governments of all types, materials management haulers, consultants, associations, non-profits, food rescue groups, students, grocers, restaurants, academics, and volunteers, all with the goal of zero food waste. The following are the events and people that made what really did turn out to be the "Woodstock of Food Waste" happen and spark a food waste revolution in the U.S.

Hey Todd, just in case you haven't seen it yet, Newsarama put up a little tidbit about Tellos #2. The fan response below the the article is very, very positive. Nice to see people haven't forgotten.

and of course you know, we would love to see more too!


In what is only the second ever running of the NSW SSA Junior Sedan Title, this season's event will see no repeat of the results from the inaugural title, with the top-three placegetters not participating this time around. However, with 14 drivers champing at the bit to prove themselves around the 440-metre track, there's no doubt who will be leading the field.
Fresh from successfully defending his National Title, Ardie Jonic is going to be tough to beat as he shoots for the 11th title victory of his illustrious career. The Queenslander has been in stellar form so far this season, taking out the Queensland and South Australian Titles, and he'll be hoping to continue that momentum when he takes to the track.
Son of multiple National Super Sedan Champion Mat Pascoe, Brad Pascoe (Qld) will be looking for a strong performance throughout qualifying to set himself up for the feature race, while Brims brothers Hayden and Zac, who are the sons of three-time NSW Super Sedan Champion Wayne Brims, will also be amongst the drivers aiming to take the fight to Jonic.
Also participating in the NSW Title and hoping to keep the title in their home state will be Jaiden Santin, son of Wingless Sprint racer Mick Santin, and Charlotte Fouracre, while the Queensland contingent will also include Erik Wallace, Kurtis Peall, Dakota Laverty, Harrison Bates, Ashleigh Moller, Bodhi Russ, Phoebe Sykes and Jayden Hancock.
Local Andrew Firth has been the standout at Hession's Auto Parts Grafton Speedway so far this season in the V8 Dirt Modifieds class, picking up a pair of feature-race victories, while last-start winner Dale Corbett has also been in fine form, most recently taking out the Christmas Cup. Dale's brother Chris Corbett is eager to claim his first feature-race victory of the season, along with leading Sportsman driver Trevor Wiley (Qld), amongst numerous others.
In the Wingless Sprints, David Eggins will be one to watch, having clinched the victory at the track over the Christmas-New Year period, while Michael Butcher, local Scott Marsh, Jacob Jolley, Bradley Claridge, Warren King will be in with a chance, along with numerous others.
Gates for Saturday night's season opener will open at 3pm, with racing to commence at 5.30pm.


Last year, DATUM examined the theme 'immediacy' to define new positions and potentials of architecture. But this year's conference features a discourse on architecture from the opposing end of the trajectory. DATUM explores 'Roots', a theme that grapples with the meaning of culture and traditions in architecture. The conference also explores where and how architecture ideas are derived from.


The E-Bay Foundation recently presented a $10,000 check to Transition Pantry in Blanding. The funds are to help fund the Transitions backpacks program. It is from the E-Bay Salt Lake City Global Impact Team – GIVE Team.
The backpacks program is run by Kim Starkweather for a Sterling Scholar project at San Juan High School. The backpacks program provides food for schoolchildren who may go hungry on weekends.
Kim has worked hard for the children in San Juan County to provide food for student use over the weekends. The check will pay for 2,000 backpacks which will provide approximately six small meals a weekend for 100 students for 20 weeks.
Those who have helped Kim with the project include Susan Starkweather, Ron Starkweather, Tom Dyer and Earl Dyer.
Kim filled backpacks for many years with her "Nana", Transitions founder Sandra Asbury. She wanted to start the project again.
Transitions provided the group with the space to store food and stuff the backpacks.
