§2866. Water conservation at military installations
(a) Water Conservation Activities.-(1) The Secretary of Defense shall permit and encourage each military department, Defense Agency, and other instrumentality of the Department of Defense to participate in programs conducted by a utility for the management of water demand or for water conservation.
(2) The Secretary of Defense may authorize a military installation to accept a financial incentive (including an agreement to reduce the amount of a future water bill), goods, or services generally available from a utility, for the purpose of adopting technologies and practices that-
(A) relate to the management of water demand or to water conservation; and
(B) as determined by the Secretary, are cost effective for the Federal Government.
(3) Subject to paragraph (4), the Secretary of Defense may authorize the Secretary of a military department having jurisdiction over a military installation to enter into an agreement with a utility to design and implement a cost-effective program that provides incentives for the management of water demand and for water conservation and that addresses the requirements and circumstances of the installation. Activities under the program may include the provision of water management services, the alteration of a facility, and the installation and maintenance by the utility of a water-saving device or technology.
(4)(A) If an agreement under paragraph (3) provides for a utility to pay in advance the financing costs for the design or implementation of a program referred to in that paragraph and for such advance payment to be repaid by the United States, the cost of such advance payment may be recovered by the utility under terms that are not less favorable than the terms applicable to the most favored customer of the utility.
(B) Subject to the availability of appropriations, a repayment of an advance payment under subparagraph (A) shall be made from funds available to a military department for the purchase of utility services.
(C) An agreement under paragraph (3) shall provide that title to a water-saving device or technology installed at a military installation pursuant to the agreement shall vest in the United States. Such title may vest at such time during the term of the agreement, or upon expiration of the agreement, as determined to be in the best interests of the United States.
(b) Use of Financial Incentives and Water Cost Savings.-(1) Financial incentives received from utilities for management of water demand or water conservation under subsection (a)(2) shall be credited to an appropriation designated by the Secretary of Defense. Amounts so credited shall be merged with the appropriation to which credited and shall be available for the same purposes and the same period as the appropriation with which merged.
(2) Water cost savings realized under subsection (a)(3) shall be used as follows:
(A) One-half of the amount shall be used for water conservation activities at such buildings, facilities, or installations of the Department of Defense as may be designated (in accordance with regulations prescribed by the Secretary of Defense) by the head of the department, agency, or instrumentality that realized the water cost savings.
(B) One-half of the amount shall be used at the installation at which the savings were realized, as determined by the commanding officer of such installation consistent with applicable law and regulations, for-
(i) improvements to existing military family housing units;
(ii) any unspecified minor construction project that will enhance the quality of life of personnel; or
(iii) any morale, welfare, or recreation facility or service.
(c) Water Conservation Construction Projects.-(1) The Secretary of Defense may carry out a military construction project for water conservation, not previously authorized, using funds appropriated or otherwise made available to the Secretary for water conservation.
(2) When a decision is made to carry out a project under paragraph (1), the Secretary of Defense shall notify the appropriate committees of Congress of that decision. Such project may be carried out only after the end of the 14-day period beginning on the date the notification is received by such committees in an electronic medium pursuant to section 480 of this title.

The Coalimex building is an office building with an area of about 6'000 sqm of office space. Located at 33 Trang Thi Street, in the centre of Hanoi's Old Quarter, this building stands amidst many commercial centres and historical places.
In order to produce a sustainable way to organize the offices, each floor must be flexible and be divided into different office spaces of different sizes. In this way, the narrow building manages to offer multiple differing areas and atmospheres. The facade is adapted to the different contexts of the plot. The main façade, which is directly in contact with the street, gives its strong identity to the Coalimex building and deals with its constraints. It is made of double-layered glass. On the second layer, a pattern that interprets the meeting of the trees of the Hanoi streets and the coal (symbol of the client) is printed on the glass. The pattern not only creates the aesthetic sense but also luxurious, quiet and harmony light effects for office space.

An improved climate plus irrigation and energy savings with Harmony
Located in the Agropark complex in Queretaro, Mexico, Hydrofoods is dedicated to the growth of vegetables in high-tech greenhouses. In 2012 the operation underwent a 10 Ha expansion, and with the expansion arose the need for new climate screens. A firm screen believer, Hydrofoods had seen great success using closed aluminum screen in the past. However, for their latest expansion, they selected Svensson's light diffusing Harmony screens to further maximize benefits throughout the year.
"What I like about Harmony is that it diffuses light and doesn't create condensation. The screen doesn't leave fixed shadows over the crop and light spreads similar to that of whitewash, however, the major difference being that we can use the screen to react to unexpected climate changes, like those that have occurred more frequently in the past years." notes Grower, Cecilia Barrera.
The plant transpiration and interaction with the screen is optimal; relative humidity saturation in the environment is avoided. "We feel that the plants can breathe through the screen. By using Harmony, we've achieved 90% relative humidity in an adult cultivation. We detect uniform maturity and better colors when harvesting- something we haven't seen with the use of paint."
Gerardo Cortés, Hydrofoods' head of maintenance, has undoubtedly made great progress when it comes to the learning curve of using their screen vs. painting, conducting numerous tests comparing the use of their Harmony 4145 screen and the use of whitewash. "There are substantial savings during times of excessive sunlight. We have seen considerable savings in water management and have had to decrease our water usage with the screen due to excessive drainage. When maintaining desired drainage levels, we're better able to avoid elongating the plants. We have reduced irrigation and fertilization costs by up to 15%. As far as light measurements between the blocks with whitewash and the blocks with screens we've seen a difference of 1 lux. The major advantage is that we no longer require a crew dedicated specifically to applying and removing the paint, which minimizes risks in the operation."
Cecilia adds that there has even been an improvement to the pollination, detecting greater activity in the bumblebees with the use of Harmony; because they are cooler there is a better growth environment.
In regards to her experience, Cecilia concludes "With the Harmony screen, we create a better climate by capturing greater amounts of direct sunlight in the morning and afternoon, and diffuse light during peak hours. Our irrigation is more efficient, and we have greater control over humidity. Not to mention, we continue to save energy during cold fall and winter nights."

Why Has GM Been Holden Out On Us for All These Years?
You ever feel like the grass is always greener on the other side, but you just can't pinpoint why? We've been feeling this way for years, and even though we know exactly where this greener grass resides, we hate that it is so removed from reach. In a recent piece we did on six Hondas Americans have been denied, readers caught a glimpse of a few stellar Japanese vehicles that will likely never see American soil. But a handful of Hondas don't even come close to touching the most egregious offense, because unbeknownst to millions of Americans, a certain Detroit-based automaker has been skimming a slew of cars off the top of the deck for decades and sending the most badass of the bunch to Australia, of all places.
This isn't some recent development either. General Motors and a little-known Australian company called Holden have been building cars together for decades. Originally founded in 1856 as a saddlery manufacturer in South Australia, Holden acclimated itself into the automotive field in 1908, before becoming a subsidiary of General Motors in 1931. From then on, GM has controlled a lot of what transpires under the Holden badge, including the recent launch of a 320-horsepower, all-wheel drive, turbocharged sedan that was designed and built in Germany. Badged as the Insignia VXR, this sensational sedan features massive Brembo brakes, heated Recaro race seats, fully-adaptive suspension, and a dial that allows drivers to custom tune the vehicle's throttle and gear changes, steering feel, suspension dampening, and rear torque bias for more fun off the line.
So in order to make it fair for Americans we were given a turbocharged Buick Regal. Sure, it may feature an available manual gearbox, but then we would have to forfeit all-wheel drive, and that is like offering someone chocolate chip cookies and not mentioning that they have raisins in them. Americans want performance cars like never before, and in recent months we have shown proof of this fact, so the thought of high-performance, unique offerings that are being imported to America is sure to stir-up one hell of a media medley.
Yet Holden remains exclusively dedicated to the "Australasia" market, and perhaps because GM wants to play it safe, and doesn't want to see the brand go belly-up the way Pontiac did a few years back. We can't really blame them either, as cannibalizing one brand for another is never a good thing, especially after all of GM's bankruptcy woes. But that doesn't mean that a few hand-picked Holden offerings couldn't be easily incorporated into the GM line-up in one form or another, and we think now is the time for GM to act.
We recently caught up with one of our GM insiders to hear their take on the whole "Holden Embargo," and to see how much this offshoot has influenced its American counterparts over the years and visa versa. While we were told not to get our hopes up about the idea of getting Holdens here in the states, we were reassured that a lot of the same technologies and designs are shared between the brands.
This is especially true with the cars you see here, because if you look closely you will notice that while Pontiac may no longer exist in body, some of its spirit lives on in Holden Special Vehicles (HSV), as cars like the Clubsport R8 bare strong resemblances to now-defunct models like the high-horsepower GTO. Hell, even the 456-horsepower ClubSport R8 Tourer wagon features GTO-ish tail lamps, making us wonder if this is what a big block Chevy Nomad would look like today if America had not prematurely forsaken the station wagon decades ago.
And then there are the weird ones, like the Maloo R8, which features all of uncouth charm of a modern day El Camino SS, and has the exhaust note to prove it. Sure, not everyone is going to jump on this one like they would a sharp-looking sedan, but it sure is neat to have something that is distinctively American in heritage and see it manifested in a 456-horsepower slab of thunder from down under.
With the Tourer wagon and the Maloo it is almost as if the El Camino and the Nomad never died, they just have been living incognito in a parallel universe far south of the equator and adopted really funny accents. Why Australians of all people have been able to enjoy the evolution of these long lost machines beats the hell out of us, and all our insider could tell us was that it all has to do with a market that still embraces a certain style of vehicle.
We are eternally grateful for powerhouse GM offerings like the Cadillac CTS-V, and that cars like the Chevy Cruze utilize a turbo to keep things interesting. But the quirkiness and ingenuity that goes into making a Holden Special Vehicle makes us wonder how much better these American-spec versions would be if GM just said "screw it," and took a HSV GTS like the one you see here and rebadged it as a Chevrolet SS Sedan. This means we would have a 577-horsepower sedan that looks way better than the pedestrian SS, and sales would surely spike Hellcat-style.
The interiors look fantastic too, with all that metallic finishing and those integrated gauge pods. Sure, there are a lot of similarities between this cockpit and the one found within the SS, but much like its exterior and power numbers, the GTS just seems to be a bit more aggressively built, and we like that.
So if GM wants to see the growth that Dodge has experienced with its Hellcat line, it is going to have to pull out the big guns in the performance department and fire-off some rounds. It isn't like the SS Sedan, Cadillac V-Series, Camaro, or Corvette are underwhelming platforms, because all of these vehicles are truly fantastic. It just feels like GM is following a tried and true route that is far safer than what Dodge is doing, and that is not what wins the heart of a performance enthusiast in a dead-heat battle.
Having a Hellcat competitor is a tricky scenario, as it is tough to offer that much performance for so little. But maybe with Holden's help GM can put together a supercharged adrenaline driver that hits on all eight cylinders, all while offering us something similar to what we have lusted for all of these years. And maybe with a bit of luck a market study will show that consumers want to see the return of the El Camino, forever proving that extreme power will never fall out of favor, even when a particular design is resurrected on the other side of the planet.

Q: How to get a git diff for a file in a pre-receive hook between the current HEAD and the newest file from the push? How do I get a git diff in a pre-receive hook between A and B?

*

*A. (newest version of somefile.ext as viewed in) current HEAD on server

*B. (newest version of somefile.ext as viewed in) received tree from pre-receive hook

I need this, because when some files change (on a Gitolite server), we like to be notified and see the difference between A and B by e-mail.
Environment: Ubuntu server 11 + Gitolite + pre-receive hook

A: I think you actually want to use post-receive, as pre-receive is mostly used to reject updates and post-receive for notifications (which seems what you want to do).
Both get the same input (through stdin) and it's documented in githooks(5)
The input is a list of updated refs and their old and new commit hashes.
You could use this data to do your git diff

A note about the doomoo brand by our M. D. The doomoo seat was invented by Philippe and Anne-Catherine Teurlings who live just outside of Brussels in Belgium. A genuine doomoo seat is made in Belgium. The design is protected by various I P rights that have been granted over many years by numerous worldwide regulatory bodies. A genuine doomoo seat stands apart from the fakes & copies for numerous reasons as mentioned above, but also because a genuine doomoo seat is triple stitched using absolute top quality materials by a dedicated team of workers many of whom are disabled. Having personally been to the doomoo factory, it was inspiring to see the obvious pride the workforce experienced making such a unique, quality product.

PERFECT for any game set in the Wild West!! There is a range of sounds and a variety of moods. I haven't run any games that were strictly Westerns, but if I did this would be a staple. Not sure what more to say so I guess I'll leave it at that. Oh – you should also check out the Deadwood soundtrack if you're looking for good Western music.

Home News Secret Resolution for Sherman's Recusal Exposed
Secret Resolution for Sherman's Recusal Exposed
Thomas T. Johnson
The Chairman of Senate Committee on Judiciary, Senator Varney G. Sherman, has requested the Liberian Senate for a vote of confidence for him to continue to serve in that capacity, while the matter of the Global Witness Report, "for which I've been indicted for the commission of crimes of economic sabotage, bribery, criminal solicitation, criminal facilitation and criminal conspiracy" is still pending before the court.
In his letter dated September 3, 2016, the Grand Cape Mount County Senator informed his colleagues that his request has become necessary because "of the rumors and innuendos which are spreading in the corridors of the Liberian Senate, which must mandatorily be put to rest."
Sen. Sherman, who is considered one of the leading corporate lawyers in the country, recalled that since his unopposed vote as Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, he has strived to serve to the best of his ability, including successfully making representations to the Supreme Court in defense of the Liberian Senate on at least two occasions.
Senator Sherman continued: "If at this time the Liberian Senate no longer has confidence in me to continue to serve, I shall be glad to quietly relinquish the post. On the other hand, if the Senate continues to have confidence in me to serve as the Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, I suggest that such confidence be shown by a clear vote of the Senate Plenary; otherwise, the work I do as a Member and Chairman of the Judiciary Committee will be irreparably hampered. "
After four hours of debate on the only issue on the floor, the President Pro Tempore, Armah Jallah seized a motion from Grand Kru County Senator Albert Chie, who protested as a violation of the Senate Rules, an attempt by Senator Sherman to speak twice on the same issue; and reserved ruling until Thursday.
Meanwhile, during the debate many Senators expressed disappointment in Senator Sherman's letter requesting for such a vote when the issue of his indictment has never been officially communicated to the Senate; while others expressed implicit confidence in his ability and competence to continue to head the Judiciary Committee.
Then came a revelation by Bong County Senator Henry Yallah and Maryland County Senator J. Gbleh-bo Brown, informing the Plenary that they were among the 14 Senators who signed a resolution demanding that Senator Sherman recuses himself as Head of the Judiciary Committee.
However, others maintained that the decision as to whether or not the Senator needs to recuse himself cannot be made by Plenary, which has no case against him.
The resolution by the 14 Senators is yet to reach the Senate's floor.
Sen. Sherman, is the fourth legislator so far to face the threat of recusal, following House Speaker J. Alex Tyler who was indicted along with Sherman as a result of the Global Witness allegations and asked to recuse for the same reason. Next was Senate Pro-Tempore Armah Z. Jallah, who raised the ire of his colleagues for secretly extending the Senate's regular session without the endorsement of Plenary; and lately, Deputy Speaker Hans Barchue, who led the successful parallel session that pressured Speaker Tyler to recuse himself as Presiding Officer. But the
Deputy Speaker could barely savor the victory when he himself was immediately asked by his colleagues in the parallel session to recuse himself from presiding over the Lower House due to allegations that he mismanaged US$1.2 million given by the National Oil Company of Liberia (NOCAL) in 2013 to the Legislature for a nationwide oil consultation tour, which he chaired.

grandma's cookie jar: The Dr. Seuss Quote for Today is - Sometimes the Questions are Complicated . . .
The Dr. Seuss Quote for Today is - Sometimes the Questions are Complicated . . .
The Dr. Seuss Quote for today is, "Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple!" In many aspects of life we do often "complicate" things when they could be significantly more simple, so I'd have to agree with this saying from Dr. Seuss!
One things we might "complicate" is our relationship to God. Sometimes we think we have to be good, do good things and think good thoughts if we are going to have a relationship with God, yet God Himself tells us in Romans 3:23, "All of us have sinned and fallen short of God's glory." None of us are good. We are all sinners. On our own, we fall short of God's glory. This is horrible news because on our own we can not do anything to have a relationship with God. We might try to earn it by being "good", but we can never be good enough.
Thank God, He chose to make a relationship with Him possible for us! Romans 6:23 tells us, "Sin pays off with death. But God's gift is eternal life given by Jesus Christ our Lord." Just look at Romans 10:9.10; "So you will be saved, if you honestly say, 'Jesus is Lord,' and if you believe with all your heart that God raised him from death." We just have to honesty say, "Jesus is Lord" and believe with all our heart God raised Jesus from the dead! This is it! It isn't complicated! It is amazingly simple! It is a gift from God, one we can not earn! So, if you have never received this gift and have been trying to "complicate" things by earning what can never be earned, just accept the gift God so freely offers because, "the answer is simple!"
Be sure to point this out to your grandchildren, too! I know for me there is nothing more important than for my grandsons to make the choice to know and walk with God all their lives! I want them to accept God's amazing gift! Be sure to explain God's simple plan for your grandchildren so they will be able to know and walk with Him and then lead them in thanking and praising God for His awesome gift! Give them an opportunity to respond to the gift as well!
Be sure to take a moment to pray for each grandchild by name - "Thank You God for Your great gift! Please help _____ know he/she can not earn knowing You, but rather is is a gift they can accept! Please help him/her want to know and walk with You all his/her life! Thank You, Amen!"


VSAN 6.2 ESXi Patch Updates + DELL PERC Firmware Updates - VIRTUALIZATION IS LIFE!
just found your posts about DELL and VSAN and it would be interesting to know whether VSAN is running stably in your environment now.
We are also using DELL hardware (PERC H730P) and we are currently having issues with FW 25.4.0.0017 (with manual deactivation of T10-PI, which would otherwise be done with FW 25.4.1.0004). All other software versions are up to date (ESXi, backplane FW etc.).
In our case the server completely looses the connection to its RAID controllers and as a result the ESXi host is no longer manageable, i.e. the VMs keep running but can't be moved to a different host).
It would be interesting to know whether you encountered similar problems and maybe found a solution.

The night of the 7th April 1941 was calm and clear, the moonlight glistened off the Solway Firth and reflected brightly from the flat felt roofs of the hundreds of timber huts in the Gretna Township. Unfortunately, Gretna shone like a beacon and became a target for a German bomber.
Using eye witness accounts and primary sources, this booklet details the tragic evening Gretna was bombed.

Aaah! .....you're "reasonably" intelligent!!!: Life on the farm.
Good news....... the need for a heart pace maker has been placed on the back burner for 6 months. My partner's breathlessness and tiredness has lessoned so all is well so far. Such a relief to learn that. From a purely selfish point of view; no hospital visiting and trying to find parks and endless walking along corridors and dealing with medical staff. Feckin Hooray!!!!
She is recovering from a fall supposedly at the dining area at the Home. I was called within 10 minutes by a very concerned nurse. They were awaiting the ambulance to take her to the hospital for a check. I phoned the hospital, talked to the doctor handling her and was amazed that an Xray was not ordered, after all it is her right hip area! She returned to the home later that night.
I visited and she is OK except for soreness and one hell of a bruise. We all breathed sighs of relief as the last thing any one wants is a broken hip. I've been told that the elderly do not live very long after a hip fracture. Mum is now 88 and does have trouble walking. She has one older sister left who is 92 yrs old. Her brothers all died before reaching 60!
My 2 siblings are still living in Mum's home and supposedly paying the insurance and council rates. Nothing else. No rent or repairs. I don't speak to them now since my last attempt to get them to pay their way became heated and futile. My brother said he would do jail time over me?? But then... he is a psychotic narcissist. Really scary stuff there. I'll be keeping my distance.
I'm older. I thought I was wise but time has proven that I am not! Can not tolerate what the politicians and the pen pushers are doing to our population and country. We need to stand and fight for our rights. Remember Hitler? Remember Stalin. Remember George W. Bush. Now we have our own dictators in Australia. Do not let it happen again. Protest,sign petitions, write letters.
Where I get my Daily Lessons.


Scientists have discovered a lake of liquid water on Mars hidden beneath multiple layers of dust and ice, according to a paper published in Science on Wednesday.
It has long been suspected that the Red Planet is not as dry and arid as it looks. Over the years, spacecrafts and rovers have uncovered evidence of its watery past. They brought back images of streaks on its surface carved from hydrated minerals, and chemical fingerprints of clay minerals inside its rocks, and signs of water-ice at its poles.
But there has been no conclusive evidence of liquid water existing on the planet in its current state until now.
The lake stretches about 20 kilometers across and lies beneath the South Pole. It has been suspected that liquid might be found at the planet's poles as the pressure of water-ice glaciers decreases the melting point of water hidden underneath. If the lake also contains salt deposits, the melting point is reduced even more and keeps the water flowing even at below-freezing temperatures.
Using the Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionosphere Sounding instrument (MARSIS), radar pulses were sent below ground to inspect 200-kilometer wide patch from May 2012 to December 2015. The reflectance times of the radar pulses acts as a probe to see what types of materials are hidden beneath the surface and its overall topology.
The surface is mostly ice and dust for about 1.5 kilometers, but as the radar went deeper the scientists detected a layer that had a particularly bright reflection. They also analysed the surrounding deposits and temperature of the environment, and believe the highly reflective body is actually a pool of liquid water saturated with salty sediments.
"This subsurface anomaly on Mars has radar properties matching water or water-rich sediments," said Roberto Orosei, lead author of the paper and principal investigator of the MARSIS experiment.
How far down does water drip?


The story revolves around "re-awakened Monster DNA called Monsuno" that finds its way into the unsuspecting hands of adventure-seeking teenagers Chase, Jinja, and Bren. Accompanied by their Monsuno, Lock, Charger, and Quickforce, they are searching for Chase's father Jeredy Suno, the creator of the Monsuno. They are soon joined by Beyal, a monk from the Himalayas along with his Monsuno Glowblade. They are also on the run from a H.A.M.M.E.R.-type agency called "S.T.O.R.M." whose plans are still in question and Dr. Emanuel Klipse, a malevolent scientist who has his own nefarious plans. The 5 adventure-seeking teenagers are once again in the battle of monsunos, now, however, with Jeredy Suno officially back from being missing and or kidnapped. But along with old foes, come new ones, with the same determination to rule over the world and make human's life a misery. Nevertheless, Chase and his friends are ready to take the heat. But as the battle becomes tougher, the team must face new problems and must come to connect to their monsunos than ever before.

Q: Sort Facets by Index with non-ASCII values We have a field 'facet_tag' that contains tags describing a product. Since the tags are in german, they may contain non-ASCII characters (like umlauts). Here are some possible values:
"Zelte"
"Tunnelzelte"
"Äxte"
"Sägen"
"Softshells"
Now if we query solr for the facets with a query like:
http://<solr_host>:<solr_port>/solr/select?q=*&facet=on&facet.field=facet_tag&facet.sort=index

The sorted result looks like this:
<lst name="facet_counts">
    <lst name="facet_queries"/>
    <lst name="facet_fields">
        <lst name="facet_tag">
            <int name="Softshells">1</int>
            <int name="Sägen">1</int>
            <int name="Tunnelzelte">1</int>
            <int name="Zelte">1</int>
            <int name="Äxte">2</int>
        </lst>
    </lst>
    <lst name="facet_dates"/>
    <lst name="facet_ranges"/>
</lst>

The tag "Äxte" should be the first item, followed by "Sägen". Obviously Solr does not handle non-ASCII characters well in this case (which is also stated in the documentation for faceted search, see http://wiki.apache.org/solr/SimpleFacetParameters#facet.sort)
Is there any way to let Solr sort these values properly without normalizing umlauts (since we show the values to the user)?

A: I would use ASCIIFoldingFilterFactory:

Converts alphabetic, numeric, and symbolic Unicode characters which are not in the first 127 ASCII characters (the "Basic Latin" Unicode block) into their ASCII equivalents, if one exists.

This way what you index becomes normalized (for example Äxte becomes indexed as Axte), but what is stored doesn't change. That's why you should then get the expected sorting, but the content you'll show will still be the original one (Äxte for example).
UPDATE
The solution doesn't apply to facets since they use the indexed values. Using the ASCIIFoldingFilterFactory you can have the right sort but you'll see normalized character as output as well. Basically you can have the right sort but wrong output or wrong sort but right output. Unfortunately I don't know any other solution.

Digital Membership Ping must be incorporated into player roster/waiver process for automated membership verification for all participants.
There must be at least one AED unit readily accessible on site. AED must be located within 2 minutes to each field. If the venue is large, a secondary AED may be required at a secondary athletic trainer location in order to meet the 2 minute standard.

The Best Accounting Software Every Freelancer Needs
Dan Price October 31, 2017 31-10-2017 6 minutes
Accounting is tricky for anyone Top 12 Accounting Courses Online to Close Your Skill Gap Top 12 Accounting Courses Online to Close Your Skill Gap Thanks to inexpensive and free high-quality online courses, it's easier than ever to be your own CFO for your new or existing business. Read More , but it's especially tough for freelancers. There are so many taxes to pay, taxes to reclaim The Best Strategies for Claiming a Tax Return This Year The Best Strategies for Claiming a Tax Return This Year No one likes paying taxes. But we have to do it. A good tax software can not only help you file tax effortlessly, but also minimize your tax burden sometimes. Read More , forms, credits, and equations to consider… it's a minefield of complexity.
Worst of all, running afoul of the rules can be expensive, stressful, and sometimes even a crime.
Luckily, we no longer need to rely on manual bookkeeping. Instead, there are lots of accounting apps vying for your attention. In this article, we round up some of the best. Each app we cover has at least one unique strength.
1. Xero
"The most intuitive professional-grade app on the market."
If you're a freelancer who's just starting to research accounting software, you will undoubtedly see the same two names popping up over and over: Xero and QuickBooks. The two apps are direct competitors and have broadly similar feature sets. Let's take a closer look at Xero 5 Ways Xero Can Help With Your Finances 5 Ways Xero Can Help With Your Finances Accounting can be confusing, time-consuming, and (if you have to pay a professional accountant) expensive. Read More .
The cloud-based company offers three price points; Starter for $9 per month, Standard for $30 per month, and Premium for $70 per month. The right plan for you depends on the scale and scope of your freelancing enterprise.
For people who only have to send a couple of invoices a month, the Starter plan is adequate. It restricts you to five invoices and/or quotes, five bills, and 20 reconciled bank transactions. The Standard and Premium plans offer unlimited invoices, bills, and reconciliations. Premium is the only plan to support multiple currencies.
From a features standpoint, it's hard to think of anything freelancers will want that's not already included. The app lets you accept payments, manage contacts, control inventory, pay bills, create purchase orders, track timesheets, and a whole lot more. Unfortunately, payroll management is not yet available in every U.S. state.
It's also great from a tax perspective. You can calculate tax on-the-go as you perform jobs and can create and submit W2 and 1099 forms from within the app.
Finally, the software can easily connect with other apps that form part of your freelancing life How Apps Can Help Any Freelancer or Small Business Owner Be Productive How Apps Can Help Any Freelancer or Small Business Owner Be Productive There are so many app for Android and iOS that can improve your productivity as a freelancer or small business owner; let's find the best of them. Read More , including Expensify, PayPal, SquareSpace, Stripe, and Deputy.
Oh, and it's worth mentioning that Xero has a handy tool to import your data if you're making the switch from QuickBooks.
2. Wave
"A powerful free app for new freelancers."
If you're just starting out on your freelancing journey, Xero's $9 Starter package might seem like an unnecessary luxury.
Instead, way not try Wave? The multi-faceted software specializes in accounting, invoicing, payments, payroll, reoccurring billing, and receipt management. And the best part? The accounting, invoicing, and receipt management parts of the app are entirely free to download and use.
The app offers additional services that it charges on a pay-as-you-go basis. If you're in the United States, these add-ons include credit card processing, bank payment processing, and payroll management. Most European countries can only utilize bank payments.
The accounting part of Wave is managed through an intuitive dashboard. It'll do everything from handle your tax situation in real-time to provide charts and graphs about your current finances. You can also use the dashboard to generate instant reports about profit and loss, sales tax, and account balances.
And even though the app is free, it still boasts high-quality security measures. They include 256-bit encryption and PCI Level-1 certification.
3. FreeAgent
"An app tailored to non-expert British and American users."
Although Xero offers an excellent series of tutorials and help files, there's no denying that the near-endless features can be a bit overwhelming for non-experts. If you're a freelancer, you don't want to be bogged down for days fiddling with your accounting app — it's lost time and money.
FreeAgent positions itself as a beginners app. That doesn't mean it's short on features, but the language and the layout of the app are explicitly geared towards people who can't tell a balance sheet from an invoice 6 Easy Tools for People Who Hate Managing Finances 6 Easy Tools for People Who Hate Managing Finances Do you hate managing your finances? Does writing out a budget fill you with dread? Check out these easy tools that make the process much easier and more enjoyable. Read More .
For example, there's no hint of accounting terms like "Accounts Receivable" or "Accounts Payable." Instead, you'll see headers like "Work" and "Expenses."
Like most cloud-based accounting apps, the headline information is delivered via a dashboard. It gives you tax deadlines, real-time reporting, timesheet overviews, and more.
The entry-level package is £14.50/month in the United Kingdom and $12/month in the United States.
4. VT Cash Book
"Free no-frills accounting with no cloud features."
Every app we've looked at so far is feature-rich, but that doesn't suit everyone. If you just want a simple way to track your income and expenditure, VT Cash Book is the app for you.
The app only has five functions:
Recording day-to-day transactions
Support for multiple bank accounts
Bank reconciliation features
Tax calculations
Three reports (profit and loss, balances, and ledger sheets)
It's rudimentary, but it's efficient. And it's entirely free. If you're running a simple freelance operation, an app as basic as VT Cash Book could be all you need.
5. QuickBooks
"A good alternative to Xero, but more confusing."
We referred to QuickBooks earlier in the article and we've covered the app in detail elsewhere on the site QuickBooks Online: Reputable and Easy Cloud Accounting so You Can Focus on Your Business QuickBooks Online: Reputable and Easy Cloud Accounting so You Can Focus on Your Business QuickBooks has an established reputation for being the primary, all-inclusive accounting and finance management service for businesses of all sizes. Read More . It battles with Xero for the number one spot in the world of cloud-based accounting apps. The app debuted in 2002 with an online version following two years later. Both the desktop and online versions are still available.
The software is impressively powerful. It boasts customizable invoices, double-entry accounting, inventory management, payroll support, and multiple currencies.
A recent upgrade saw the arrival of a much-requested project management system, though many users were disgruntled to discover it came at the expense of a trimmed back timesheet management function.
Long-time users also criticize the user interface. QuickBooks was built on its reputation for being intuitive and easy-to-use, but it's no longer the case. If you've never used accounting software before, the app is daunting.
Like Xero, QuickBooks comes with three pricing tiers. It'll cost you $15/month for Simple Start up to $50/month for the Plus package. Simple Start doesn't let you create reoccurring invoices or manage bills from vendors.
6. FreshBooks
"A happy compromise between complexity and features."
FreshBooks probably occupies third-place in the list of best software. It's not as popular or as feature-rich as Xero and QuickBooks, but thanks to a 2016 redesign, it's definitely easier to use than the two market leaders.
The redesign wasn't without its downsides. The company focused heavily on an improved interface and ease-of-use, and had to make some sacrifices. As such, if you need features like estimates, inventory management, extensive financial reports, client portals, and detailed time tracking capabilities, this probably isn't the app for you.
The old features are still available in the classic interface, but support for them is slowly winding down.
From a pure accounting point of view, it also lags behind Xero and QuickBooks. It doesn't offer double-entry accounting and only supports limited bank reconciliation services. Its strengths lie in invoicing, billing, and client management.
The entry-level Lite package costs $15/month, but you can only bill five active clients. The top-end Premium plan for $50/month increases the limit to 500.
The six apps we've covered each have their own strengths and weaknesses. More importantly, each is geared towards a different type of user.
Luckily, all the paid apps offer free trials. Make sure you test a few of them before committing to a payment plan.
Which accounting apps would add to this list? What unique features make them so special? As always, you can leave all your opinions and suggestions in the comments below.

Brazil's Pantanal, world's largest wetland, burns from above and below
By Jake Spring
POCONÉ, Brazil (Reuters) - The world's largest wetland is ablaze, but the fire is often invisible.

In Brazil's Pantanal, the vegetation compacted under the marshy flood water during the wet season dries out as ponds and lagoons evaporate, leaving flammable deposits underground that can continue to smolder long after visible flames die down.
Firefighters across Brazil are battling raging towers of flames from the Amazon rainforest to the Cerrado savannah, but the fires beneath their feet are a particular challenge in the Pantanal. The only way to combat an underground fires is to dig a trench around it, said state firefighter Lieutenant Isaac Wihby.
"But how do you do that if you have a line of fire that's 20 kilometers long? It's not viable," he said.
The fires here are the worst in 15 years. The flames threaten the region's biodiversity, rich with tapirs, pumas, capybaras and the world's most dense population of jaguars.
The Pantanal, whose name derives from the Portuguese word for "swamp," sprawls over more than 150,000 sq km in Brazil and also extends into Bolivia and Paraguay.
As fires approached emergency workers in the Pantanal this week, they used tractors to cut through desiccated trees and shrubs, leaving a gash of brown dirt meant to rob the flames of fuel and stop their spread.

But strong winds can send the flames over the top, or underground fires can pass below.
"Sometimes it passes under a firebreak and takes the firefighters by surprise," said Lieutenant Jean Oliveira, who is leading the firefighting efforts.
"Sometimes you control a fire and it's not really dead, it's just sleeping," he said.
Hundreds of firefighters, environmental workers, park rangers and soldiers have worked 24 hours a day for weeks attempting to extinguish flames that have destroyed thousands of square kilometers of the Pantanal.
With temperatures soaring above 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit), one fire this week was unstoppable as strong winds pushed it across multiple firebreaks, burning through twisted branches and dry leaves through the day and into the night.
"We controlled it but then it jumped there, jumped there, jumped there," said Edmilson Rodrigo da Silva, a firefighter for Brazil's center-west state of Mato Grosso, pointing far into the distance to where the fire had gotten past firebreaks.
The region is a vast flood plain that normally fills with water during the rainy season, roughly from November to March. But the floods were lower than normal this year and a subsequent drought has left the area dangerously susceptible to fire.
The Pantanal so far this month recorded 4,677 "hot spots" in the worst rash of fires since August 2005, according to Brazil's space research agency, Inpe.
Silva was one of about 20 men battling the fire through the night, bathed in choking smoke and swarmed by gnats flushed out of the undergrowth by flames that encircled the firefighters on three sides. They warned to look out for poisonous snakes and jaguars fleeing the fire in the night.
Rains brought temporary relief to the southern half of the Pantanal last week, but fires again began to pick up this week. Next month could be even worse.
"It's our worst year here for fires. It's never been dry like this," Silva said.

People make friends in any kind of situation. But only some of them last forever. The one that is tested by time, by endless grief, pain and struggle you will be happy to have never had a chance to experience. À LA VIE or TO LIFE tells a real life story of three women who find each other after surviving the Holocaust.
It happened that this is a second film this week I am watching about Auschwitz, but the first time with a smile on my face. Helen, Rose and Lili have gone together on a difficult path, while they find themselves imprisoned in Auschwitz. Managed to survive, the three friends ended up in different parts of the world, until the moment when Helen decided to correct that by looking for the two people who helped her to survive during one of the most difficult parts of her life.
When the reunification happens in Berck, France, in 1960, the three friends finally get a chance to celebrate their freedom, happiness and being simply alive. However, soon the dark side of their past seems to be still there, keeping each of them as a hostage of time. Helen loves her husband in spite of his trouble with satisfying her "needs". Yes, the Auschwitz leaves a great mark in Helen's life, but so does with Rose as well. But the appearance of a young man from the beach named Raymond changes Helen's life and gives an opportunity to her friends to once again to be reminded what life is about.
As you watch the film, you try to understand the filmmaker's attempt. However, no matter how sensitive you can be towards such an important story line, the screenplay fails to deliver that. And when that kind of a gap appears in the script, even an ensemble of great actors and filmmaker can't cover that up. Even though the film itself never appears boring and moves incredibly fast, it's a heartbeat that you find impossible to hear throughout the film.
In conclusion, À LA VIE is not a bad film at all. It may not touch your heart deeply, but it does slightly which is more than any other film ever does. While there is no complaint about the performance, it's upsetting to see how poorly such a great story was written. I am not here to convince you not to watch it, but rather leave it up to you to decide whether to do it or not. But either way, it won't be a waste of time. Because it touches life and friendship the way it makes you think about it. After all, every human story is important whether we like it or.

We are all searching for answers to the most basic questions: Who are we? Why are we here? Do we really matter? Features insight and commentary from spiritual leaders and philosophers including: Anna Halpine, Dr. William Hurlbut, Rabbi Simon Jacobson, Dr. Alveda King, and Rev. Richard Neuhaus.
Chances are if you're around the film festival scene or anything relating to it you've seen or heard about The Human Experience. The film has been around since 2008 and for whatever reason we're just now getting it on DVD. The documentary has won numerous awards, but more importantly it has inspired and moved countless individuals to look into their own heart and souls to try and discover what it means to be human. This documentary is by no means light material—it's very weighty and if you're not in the mood for a mental revolution/cleansing then you'd probably be best to ignore this film as it will definitely present you with some revolutionary thought processes as well as a flood of emotions.
The film is divided into what are essentially three segments. All three portions follow the same brothers as they experience a week on the streets of New York and see what it means to be homeless and all of the trials and tribulations that come along with it. They interview homeless individuals as well as live the life for themselves, begging for food and doing their best to fight one of the coldest weeks on record in New York. From there the film moves onto the lost children of Peru and as they did with the homeless in New York, our brothers connect with the children through simple forms of laughter and human interaction. From there the film travels to Africa and it's there the brothers visit those suffering from HIV/AIDS as well as visiting a leper colony. Even in areas of such despair they still manage to find hope and smiles from those they talk with and connect with anyone and everyone simply because we are all human.
This is definitely a very engaging and deeply emotional film to witness. I was surprised that it had a PG-13 rating on the back, but after watching it I can definitely see why—this isn't material meant for everyone. True, it is really just about humans but there are some emotionally jarring elements to being human and this film really tackles them all in a way that is both eloquent and poignant. It really was a remarkable film and I'm glad to have been finally able to enjoy it—I'm truly surprised it took this long for such a film to find a distributor for the home video market. This is definitely a Highly Recommended production.
Subtitled in Spanish, Portuguese, Polish, German, and French.
The commentary is definitely a must-listen if you enjoyed the film; even though the documentary by its very nature gave us insight into the condition, this just gives us an even deeper look into what everyone involved with the film went through as well. Also it may seem odd to actually list the subtitles as extras but I thought it was appropriate in this case—even though the documentary is in English, it is something that transcends language. Highly Recommended.
The Human Experience arrives on DVD on March 29th.
