John I Tzimiskes (Greek: ? ? , romanized: I?ánn?s ho Tzimisk?s; c. 925 - 10 January 976) was the senior Byzantine Emperor from 11 December 969 to 10 January 976. An intuitive and successful general, he strengthened the Empire and expanded its borders during his short reign.[1]
Emperor Nikephoros II Phokas
John I Tzimiskes was born into the Kourkouas family of Armenian origin.[2] Scholars have speculated that his nickname "Tzimiskes" was derived either from the Armenian Chmushkik (), meaning "red boot", or from an Armenian word for "short stature". A more favorable explanation is offered by the medieval Armenian historian Matthew of Edessa, who states that Tzimiskes was from the region of Khozan, from the area which is now called Chmushkatzag."[3] Khozan was located in the region of Paghnatun, in the Byzantine province of Fourth Armenia (Sophene).[4]
Tzimiskes was born sometime around 925 to an unnamed member of the Kourkouas family and the sister of the future Emperor Nikephoros II Phokas. Both the Kourkouai and the Phokadai were distinguished Cappadocian families, and among the most prominent of the emerging military aristocracy of Asia Minor. Several of their members had served as prominent army generals, most notably the great John Kourkouas, who conquered Melitene and much of Armenia.
Contemporary sources describe Tzimiskes as a rather short but well-built man, with reddish blonde hair and beard and blue eyes who was attractive to women.[5] He seems to have joined the army at an early age, originally under the command of his maternal uncle Nikephoros Phokas. The latter is also considered his instructor in the art of war. Partly because of his familial connections and partly because of his personal abilities, Tzimiskes quickly rose through the ranks. He was given the political and military command of the theme of Armenia before he turned twenty-five years old.
His marriage to Maria Skleraina, daughter of Pantherios Skleros and sister of Bardas Skleros, linked him to the influential Skleros family. Little is known about her; she died before his rise to the throne, and the marriage was apparently childless. The contemporary historian Leo the Deacon remarks that she excelled in both beauty and wisdom.[6]
Rise to the throne
The coronation of John Tzimiskes, from the Madrid Skylitzes
The Byzantine Empire was at war with its eastern neighbors, the various autonomous and semi-autonomous emirates emerging from the break-up of the Abbasid Caliphate. The most prominent among them was the Hamdanid Emirate of Aleppo, under Sayf al-Dawla. Armenia served as the borderland between the two Empires, and Tzimiskes successfully defended his province. He and his troops joined the main part of the army, which was campaigning under the command of Nikephoros Phokas.
By 962 the Hamdanids had sued for peace with favorable terms for the Byzantines, securing the eastern border of the Empire for some years. Tzimiskes distinguished himself during the war both at the side of his uncle and at leading parts of the army to battle under his personal command, as in the Battle of Raban in 958. He was rather popular with his troops and gained a reputation for taking the initiative during battles, turning their course.
On the death of Emperor Romanos II in 963, Tzimiskes urged his uncle to seize the throne. After helping Nikephoros to the throne and continuing to defend the Empire's eastern provinces, Tzimiskes was deprived of his command by an intrigue, for which he retaliated by conspiring with Nikephoros' wife Theophano and a number of disgruntled leading generals (Michael Bourtzes and Leo Balantes) to assassinate Nikephoros.
Meeting of Svyatoslav I with Emperor John Tzimiskes

After his coronation in December 969, Tzimiskes dispatched his brother-in-law Bardas Skleros to subdue a rebellion by Bardas Phokas, a cousin of Tzimiskes who aspired to succeed their uncle as emperor. To solidify his position, Tzimiskes married Theodora, a daughter of Emperor Constantine VII. He proceeded to justify his usurpation by repelling the foreign invaders of the Empire. The tributary of Aleppo was soon assured under the Treaty of Safar. In a series of campaigns against the Kievan Rus' encroachment on the Lower Danube in 970-971, he drove the enemy out of Thrace in the Battle of Arcadiopolis, crossed Mt. Haemus, and besieged the fortress of Dorostolon (Silistra) on the Danube for sixty-five days, where after several hard-fought battles he defeated Great Prince Svyatoslav I of Rus'. Tzimiskes and Svyatoslav ended up negotiating a truce, in which weaponry, armor and provisions were exchanged for the famished Rus' departure. On his return to Constantinople, Tzimiskes celebrated a triumph, built the Church of Christ of the Chalke as thanksgiving, divested the captive Bulgarian Emperor Boris II of the Imperial symbols, and proclaimed Bulgaria annexed. He further secured his northern frontier by transplanting to Thrace some colonies of the Paulicians, whom he suspected of sympathising with their Muslim neighbours in the east.
In 972, Tzimiskes turned against the Abbasid Empire and its vassals, beginning with an invasion of Upper Mesopotamia. A second campaign, in 975, was aimed at Syria, where his forces took Emesa (Homs), Baalbek, Damascus, Tiberias, Nazareth, Caesarea, Sidon, Beirut, Byblos, and Tripoli, but they failed to take Jerusalem.
Tzimiskes died suddenly in 976 returning from his second campaign against the Abbasids and was buried in the Church of Christ Chalkites, which he had rebuilt. Several sources state that the Imperial chamberlain Basil Lekapenos poisoned the Emperor to prevent him from stripping Lekapenos of his ill-gotten lands and riches.[7][8] Tzimiskes left all his own personal wealth to the poor and the sick.[8] He was succeeded by his ward and nephew, Basil II, who had been nominal co-emperor since 960.
Today, Tsimiski Street, the main commercial road in the center of Thessaloniki, is named after him. Çemi?gezek in the Tunceli Province, modern day Turkey, is named after him, as he was born there.

Q: Which Psudo-Random Number Generation algorithm does RNGCryptoServiceProvider use? There are many proven and well established Psudo-Random Number Generation algorithms available for use, and others that have come under recent scrutiny; I was wondering which algorithm the .Net 4.0 RNGCryptoServiceProvider uses?
I am keen to know the answer to this before I put an ongoing project live.
Many Thanks
Phil

A: By inspection of the code, it defaults to PROV_RSA_AES or PROV_RSA_FULL depending on the operating system, but you can pass in your own CspParameters instance specifying the algorithm from list list

A: It uses CryptGenRandom.  It gets it from the Crypto API, which is included in Windows.

STOP HS2 | Government will mislead Parliament if it does not publish secret HS2 reports before vote.
While the Information Commission has announced a legal challenge against a Government decision to block the release of secret HS2 reports, the Stop HS2 campaign has demanded that the vote on the second reading of the Hybrid Bill should not go ahead until the reports are made available to MPs.
In January, the Government used a veto to block the publication of the November 2011 Major Projects Authority report which rated HS2 as 'amber-red', after the Information Commissioner had ruled that it should be made public in June 2013. This week it was revealed that Dr Paul Thornton, who was responsible for the original request for the documents and the Information Commissioner are launching legal challenges against the use of that veto.
The veto has only been used in a handful of cases, such as preventing the publication of the NHS risk register and cabinet discussions about the Iraq War. A previous veto blocking the publication of letters from Prince Charles was overturned at the Court of Appeal, with this case progressing to the Supreme Court.
As it stands, the Stop HS2 campaign believes that the veto has never before been used to block the publication of information concerning a piece of legislation, prior to a vote taking place. In this respect, the campaign contends that the Government would be deliberately misleading Parliament if the six reports from the Major Projects Authority are not made available to MPs, prior to the Second Reading of the HS2 Hybrid Bill, currently scheduled for Monday April 28th.
Good article, Joe and indeed the unwilligness of the Government to speak truth to the public is a vein running though so much of HS2 Ltd's revolving rationale. Abject lesson in retro-fitting reasons to a barmy scheme.
This MPA can be radacted to add to a list of questioned public statements about this HS2 Route 3 phase 1.
Several MPs and the Information Commissioner are thanked for challenging prior decisions. Previously Parliament was the debating chamber ahead of legislation now it is the endorsing chamber after a Prime Minister acts as President to side line and apply inconsistent procedures to HS2 compared with HS1.

Killing a killer
Troubled relationship may have preceded Carmichael shooting that deputies reportedly witnessed
By Raheem F. Hosseini
This story has been expanded from its print version.
In their second fatal shooting last month, Sacramento County sheriff's deputies opened fire on a man moments after he reportedly gunned down his girlfriend in Carmichael on Oct. 27.
The incident began 12:30 a.m. that Sunday with a call about a car crash. According to a release from the Sheriff's Office, a caller reported that a vehicle smashed into a tree on the 5800 block of Angelina Avenue, where a man waved a gun around a woman. Additional callers described an argument between the man and woman as they walked to and from a nearby apartment complex.
About 10 minutes later, arriving deputies began to approach a woman standing near an apartment. That's when authorities say the man shot the woman. Three deputies fired at the man, hitting him.
Paramedics pronounced both gunshot victims dead at the scene. The Sheriff's Office says a gun was recovered from the male suspect, identified by the Coroner's Office as Earnest Easterling, 25, of Sacramento.
The female victim was identified as Chanell Brown, 23, of Sacramento. Relatives told Fox 40 that the two had a long-troubled relationship.
A sheriff's spokeswoman didn't respond immediately to a question about whether homicide detectives had confirmed the nature of the pair's relationship, or whether Brown had sought help from the department before. According to Sacramento Superior Court records, Easterling had never faced formal charges in the county.
But the county's Domestic Violence Death Review Team, which released its annual report last month, often finds recurring patterns in the homicides it studies. Of the seven homicides the team reviewed this past year, prior abuse existed in six cases and handguns were used in five.
The county's flagship response to the public health issue—the Sacramento Regional Family Justice Center—saw visits dip to 1,248 last year, down 27% from 2018 and the lowest since the center opened in 2016.
The Sheriff's Office shooting marked the second in three weeks for its deputies. On Oct. 6, a deputy responding to a daytime disturbance on a dusty country road opened fire on a man with a BB gun in his waistband, killing him.
Sacramento police Officer Tara O'Sullivan was killed this past June when she and other officers attempted to help a woman leave a domestic violence situation and were ambushed by the woman's alleged abuser, who fired rounds from an AR-15-style assault rifle. The jailed defendant, 46-year-old Adel Sambrano Ramos, won't be back in court again until late January.
The Sheriff's Office also investigated an Aug. 22 incident in which a U.S. marshal clipped the hand of a man reportedly pointing a firearm at authorities executing a search warrant inside a Rancho Cordova home.

This month, we launched the 1.1 update for PAST MEMORIES, with more than 30 changes and optimizations. Since the launch, we never hid that we wanted feedback and now we thank everyone who told us their opinions. Without exception, literally everything has been considered and extensively tested. In this post, we'd like to explain the various changes we have made.
Overall, the first changes were related to technical optimizations. We increased the performance and avoided slowdowns or crashes of the app on devices with older or less powerful hardware. After that, we moved to changes that were not considered "issues" , but details that could be improved. We changed something at the end of the game, some things that were visually strange on platforms, reduced the volume of some sound effects in the second level, used fade in and out on the pause menu and changed the "Restart Level" icon. Finally, if the jetpack was used during a change of dimensions, the visual effects continued with the old color from the other dimension and that has been changed.
With that done, we focused on the most problematic issues.
One of the biggest challenges was with the electrified platforms. People were frustrated when after getting through them, but dying soon after, they returned to a savepoint before the puzzle, so they had to go through it again. So we put checkpoints right after them. However, another problem soon appeared: as the shock alternated in a matter of seconds, it was very common that it happened while the player was in the middle of a platform without any control of what was happening. The best way to avoid this was to reduce the speed by jumping and wait for the shock to move from one platform to another before continuing, but that didn't seem very fun.
So, how to change it without removing the challenge? This was discussed extensively and we came to a conclusion that prevented the shock to change while you were going through the platform, but at the same time, you should be careful to understand which platform would be electrified. We hope you like it!
Another issue we realized that we had, again based on feedback, was precisely with the mechanic of reducing speed while jumping. Everything ok there, however, if the character was almost stopped, she couldn't jump forward. Of course, the human body can do it even when stopped, so that was fixed.
The next big thing we needed was to focus on balancing the difficulty. Some enemies have been moved or removed, but always with the goal of not compromising the level of difficulty we wanted to achieve. It also reminded us that we had the opportunity to add a new item! So, why not? Take a look at it!
From there, we just made some adjustments. On the first level, the TV would not grab some enemies right. Also, some of them didn't collide very well with the platforms. And when the item "wall" was used, sometimes the non-flying enemies could still pass. Both situations have been fixed. We also put how many collectables each level has on the score menu at the end of each level, again because of feedback. Finally, for Android devices, the "Back" button is now used to close the app.
And the work doesn't end there! We are working on HD version for tablets and also the additional content we promised. As you can see, we quite value the feedback, and we want to put more updates based on the opinions of you! We also want to share that the update in Samsung Apps will be available soon, with the same fixes!
PAST MEMORIES is now available on the App Store, Google Play and Samsung Apps for only US$ 0.99 and equivalent prices for each region! Fans can also learn more about Past Memories, keep track of promotions and interact with developers on Facebook or Twitter.
- GENERAL: Score menu now shows how many collectables there are in each level!

Indigenous Peoples Lands Guard 80 Per Cent of World's Biodiversity
By Baher Kamal	Reprint | | Print | |En español
In much of the Andes, soil erosion is thought to be one of the most limiting factors in crop production. Soil is vulnerable to erosion where it is exposed to moving water or wind and where conditions of topography or human use decrease the cohesion of the soil. ©IFAD/ Juan I. Cortés
ROME, Feb 9 2017 (IPS) - They are more than 370 million self-identified peoples in some 70 countries around the world. In Latin America alone there are over 400 groups, each with a distinct language and culture, though the biggest concentration is in Asia and the Pacific– with an estimated 70 per cent. And their traditional lands guard over 80 per cent of the planet's biodiversity.
They are the indigenous peoples.
They have rich and ancient cultures and view their social, economic, environmental and spiritual systems as interdependent. And they make valuable contributions to the world's heritage thanks to their traditional knowledge and their understanding of ecosystem management.
"But they are also among the world's most vulnerable, marginalized and disadvantaged groups. And they have in-depth, varied and locally rooted knowledge of the natural world, "says the Rome-based International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD).
"Unfortunately, indigenous peoples too often pay a price for being different and far too frequently face discrimination," the Fund, which hosts on Feb 10 and 13 on Rome the Global Meeting of the Indigenous People Forum in the Italian capital.
During this biennial meeting, the United Nations specialised agency will bring together representatives of Indigenous Peoples' Organisations from across the world, as well as leaders of partner bodies to engage in a direct dialogue and improve participation of indigenous peoples in the Fund's country programmes.

Over the centuries, the Indigenous peoples "have been dispossessed of their lands, territories and resources and, as a consequence, have often lost control over their own way of life. Worldwide, they account for 5 per cent of the population, but represent 15 per cent of those living in poverty."
One of the most effective ways to enable indigenous peoples to overcome poverty, it adds, is to support their efforts to shape and direct their own destinies, and to ensure that they are the co-creators and co-managers of development initiatives.
The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, adopted by the General Assembly on Sep. 13, 2007, establishes a universal framework of minimum standards for the survival, dignity, well-being and rights of the world's indigenous peoples.
•	There are more than 370 million self-identified indigenous people in the world, living in at least 70 countries
•	Most of the worlds' indigenous peoples live in Asia
•	Indigenous peoples form about 5,000 distinct groups and occupy about 20 per cent of the earth's territory
•	Although indigenous peoples make up less than 6 per cent of the global population, they speak more than 4,000 of the world's 7,000 languages
•	One of the root causes of the poverty and marginalization of indigenous peoples is loss of control over their traditional lands, territories and natural resources
•	Indigenous peoples have a concept of poverty and development that reflects their own values, needs and priorities; they do not see poverty solely as the lack of income
•	A growing number of indigenous peoples live in urban areas, as a result of the degradation of land, dispossession, forced evictions and lack of employment opportunities
Source: IFAD
The Declaration addresses individual and collective rights; cultural rights and identity; and rights to education, health, employment and language. And it outlaws discrimination against indigenous peoples and promotes their full and effective participation in all matters that concern them.
It also ensures their right to remain distinct and to pursue their own priorities in economic, social and cultural development. The International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples is observed on Aug. 9 every year.
Announcing the Forum, IFAD noted that it has more than 30 years of experience working with indigenous peoples. In fact, since 2003, an average of about 22 per cent of the Fund's annual lending has supported initiatives for indigenous peoples, mainly in Asia and Latin America.
Since 2007, it has administered the Indigenous Peoples Assistance Facility (IPAF). Through small grants of up to 50,000 dollars, it supports the aspirations of indigenous peoples by funding micro-projects that strengthen their culture, identity, knowledge, natural resources, and intellectual-property and human rights.
To help translate policy commitments into action, it has established an Indigenous Peoples' Forum that promotes a process of dialogue and consultation among indigenous peoples' organisations, IFAD staff and member states.
The Fund empowers communities to participate fully in determining strategies for their development and to pursue their own goals and visions by strengthening grass-roots organisations and local governance.
Land is not only crucial to the survival of indigenous peoples, as it is for most poor rural people – it is central to their identities, the Fund reports. "They have a deep spiritual relationship to their ancestral territories. Moreover, when they have secure access to land, they also have a firm base from which to improve their livelihoods."
According to this international Fund, indigenous peoples and their knowledge systems have a special role to play in the conservation and sustainable management of natural resources.

Indigenous Women's Untapped Potential
The also named "bank of the poorest" as it provides grants and low-interest credits to the poorest rural communities, recognises indigenous women's untapped potential as stewards of natural resources and biodiversity, as guardians of cultural diversity, and as peace brokers in conflict mitigation.

More IPS articles on indigenous peoples
Nonetheless, it says, indigenous women are often the most disadvantaged members of their communities because of their limited access to education, assets and credit, and their exclusion from decision-making processes.
This 'bank of the poorest' is a specialised agency of the United Nations, which was established as an international financial institution in 1977, being one of the major outcomes of the 1974 World Food Conference, which was organised in response to the food crises of the early 1970s that primarily affected the Sahelian countries of Africa.
That world conference resolved that "an International Fund for Agricultural Development should be established immediately to finance agricultural development projects primarily for food production in the developing countries."
One of the most important insights emerging from the Conference was that the causes of food insecurity and famine were not so much failures in food production but structural problems relating to poverty, and to the fact that the majority of the developing world's poor populations were concentrated in rural areas.
Since its creation, IFAD invested 18.4 billion dollars to help 464 million rural poor people.

Why Stanislaus County's vaccine rollout is a 'very fluid situation to say the least'
COVID-19 vaccines are making it into people's arms in Stanislaus County, but saying exactly how many in the county have been vaccinated is a bit nuanced.
Author: Eric Escalante
STANISLAUS COUNTY, Calif. — Make no doubt, COVID-19 vaccines are in Stanislaus County and getting into people's arms. The problem, according to some leaders, is that communication channels have made it challenging to actually know how much vaccine they're getting, when vaccinations will ramp up, and how many people in the county have been vaccinated.
"It's a very fluid situation to say the least between the communications between the county level, the state level, and the federal level. It's been challenging to say the least," said Vito Chiesa, Stanislaus County Supervisor.
Vaccinations for the first phase of California's rollout are underway in Modesto at the county's Scenic Drive clinic. It's been open since Jan. 5. The clinic is restricted to only the people in the current phase, generally meaning healthcare workers, long-term care residents, and people at high risk of exposure in healthcare settings. People in this phase can ask their employer about vaccination or visit the clinic on a first come first serve basis.
It's a busy site that Chiesa said needs about 4,000 vaccines to run through the week. That's why he was a little taken aback by this week's vaccine delivery of 800.
While the clinic is still expected to get through the week's vaccinations regardless of the week's allotment, the number reflects a key issue that the county has been trying to surmount.

In a Tuesday Board of Supervisors meeting, county officials described the flow of vaccine as "unpredictable"
"It's unpredictable because direct shipping, typically what happens is there's some overshipping to some of these multi-county entities which diminishes the supply for us," assistant director of Emergency Services Richard Murdock told the Board on Tuesday. Multi-county entities refers to places like Kaiser and Sutter Health and or systems like state prisons and state hospitals.
Adding to that, Stanislaus County has been given 25,225 doses of vaccine, but it's not entirely clear how much of that has actually made it to someone's arm. Officials said 16,215 doses were given to healthcare partners for Phase 1A, and they don't have information available on the number of doses actually administered by Kaiser and Sutter Health in the county. Also unknown is the number of vaccinations given by Walgreens and CVS to long-term care facilities or other entities that aren't the county.
The vaccines that the county can account for is what's in the county's control. They have 9,010 doses and 1,625 have been given to the public, 4,000 have been reserved for the clinic on Scenic Drive, and 3,375 doses are available for additional distribution.
Officials in Tuesday's board meeting said vaccinations were finishing up for Tier 1 of Phase 1A, ongoing for Tier 2 and just starting on Tier 3. Vaccinations are happening, but information on how many people are vaccinated is nuanced.
Chiesa is expecting those vaccine numbers to scale up, but he said the information exchange is the biggest obstacle to them having a more ideal footing heading forward.
Information can make a difference when the county starts investing in infrastructure for mass vaccination. If they know how much they're getting and when, they can prioritize accordingly. If vaccine distribution is ramping up, they'll build the infrastructure, and if it isn't, they won't spend their time building infrastructure to only deliver a few hundred doses, Chiesa said.
"I don't want to go from 600 doses to 20,000 doses in one day, because that's not going to do anyone any good," he said. "It's really about information exchange and how we're going to expand the whole COVID-19 vaccine process."
RELATED: With Latino COVID-19 cases a problem for Stanislaus County, vaccine education starts now
For now, Stanislaus is moving forward with building out facilities for vaccine distribution. Rosalee Rush, spokesperson for Stanislaus State University, said the university was working with the county to serve as a distribution site for the vaccine.
"We're expecting more vaccines and we need to build out the infrastructure, because worst case scenario is that we have them (but) we don't have anyone or any infrastructure to stick people in the arm," Chiesa said.
Adding to the some frustration in the county are "no-notice" updates. Some updates on vaccination plans are happening in real time, with little time for county officials to actually prepare. On Wednesday, state health officials announced that people 65 and older will be allowed to get the vaccine.
Chiesa and his team learned that news right before their board meeting on Tuesday. Regardless, they're trying to make the best of what he calls a "very fluid situation."
"It's not the best way (to learn of updates) but again I think we're building the airplane as we're heading down the runway," he said.
Moving forward the big concern is that a quick expansion would cause problems if the points of distribution were not in place. Preparation and knowing when they'll be needed is key.
"It's important for the public to recognize that there's been so much anticipation on vaccines and the rollout is always imperfect. But again things are so fluid, I want them to have confidence that the vaccines are being distributed properly to hospitals, to healthcare workers, to first responders and that we will get to just the public members that don't fit in any of those categories."
He hopes the other members of the public can start seeing their vaccinations in the next couple of weeks.

Construction Partners, Inc. Announces Fiscal 2022 Fourth Quarter and Year-End Results
Revenue Up 43%, Net Income Up 6%, Adjusted EBITDA Up 23%, Compared to FY2021
Q4 Adjusted EBITDA Up 45% Compared to Q4 FY2021
Company Reports Record Backlog of $1.41 Billion
Announces FY2023 Outlook Ranges
DOTHAN, Ala., Nov. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Construction Partners, Inc. (NASDAQ: ROAD) ("CPI" or the "Company"), a vertically integrated civil infrastructure company specializing in the construction and maintenance of roadways across six southeastern states, today reported financial and operating results for the fiscal quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2022.
Fred J. (Jule) Smith, III, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are pleased with our fiscal year-end and fourth quarter results, both of which represented significant revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth year-over-year. A robust project demand environment drove top-line growth, while our steady increase in project bidding margins helped drive higher profitability even as we continue to combat rising inflation and supply chain disruptions. In fiscal 2022, we achieved record revenue of $1.3 billion, up 43 percent compared to last year, and we reported record Adjusted EBITDA of $111.2 million, up 23 percent compared to last year. In addition, we are pleased with the mix of growth for the year, which consisted of approximately 24 percent organic revenue and approximately 19 percent from recent acquisitions. In the fourth quarter, revenue grew 41 percent to a record $393.1 million, and Adjusted EBITDA was a record $39.4 million, an increase of 45 percent compared to the same quarter last year. The growth we are experiencing is supported by healthy funding programs at the state and federal levels, as well as a continued vibrant commercial market throughout our geographic footprint. During the year, we also further expanded our Company into new growth markets through a platform acquisition and bolt-on acquisitions and the addition of a new greenfield. These results reflect the hard work and dedication of 3,800 CPI employees, and their focus on job site safety and operational excellence every day. I especially want to thank our employees in the three states that Hurricane Ian impacted during the last week of our fiscal year for their dedication in preparing for the storm and protecting lives and property in their communities."
Fiscal 2022 revenues were $1.30 billion, an increase of 43% compared to $910.7 million for fiscal 2021. Gross profit was $139.3 million in fiscal 2022, compared to $119.9 million in fiscal 2021.
General and administrative expenses were $107.6 million for fiscal 2022, compared to $91.9 million in fiscal 2021. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenue in fiscal 2022 were 8.3%, compared to 10.1% in fiscal 2021.
Net income was $21.4 million for fiscal 2022, an increase of 5.9% compared to net income of $20.2 million in fiscal 2021.
Adjusted EBITDA(1) for fiscal 2022 was $111.2 million, an increase of 22.7% compared to $90.6 million in fiscal 2021.
Project backlog was $1.41 billion at September 30, 2022, compared to $966 million at September 30, 2021 and $1.33 billion at June 30, 2022.
Smith continued, "We ended fiscal 2022 with the highest project backlog in the Company's history at $1.41 billion while growing our backlog margin throughout the year. We anticipate that as this backlog is converted, we will realize a steady increase to higher future profit margins. Today we are introducing our fiscal year 2023 outlook that reflects confidence in the continuation of solid growth supported by strong customer demand and project funding, even as we will continue to battle the uncertainty of supply chain disruptions still present in the economy."
Fiscal Year 2023 Outlook
The Company's outlook for fiscal year 2023 with regard to revenue, net income and Adjusted EBITDA is as follows:
Revenue in the range of $1.40 billion to $1.55 billion
Net income in the range of $24.6 million to $38.4 million
Adjusted EBITDA(1) in the range of $135.0 million to $160.0 million
(1) Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Please see "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" at the end of this press release.
Ned N. Fleming, III, the Company's Executive Chairman, stated, "We are pleased to finish the year with strong revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth while reporting the highest project backlog in the Company's history, both in terms of total value and as a percentage of work on backlog to be completed in the next twelve months. CPI's strategic business model is resilient, and as we have for more than 20 years, we continue to pursue recurring infrastructure repair and maintenance projects, generating sustainable and profitable growth. CPI is also a consolidator in a fragmented space, where family succession planning and market dynamics remain tailwinds for acquisition opportunities to expand our footprint and grow relative market share. CPI's fiscal 2023 outlook represents another strong year of growth, and we are bullish about the future of CPI as we continue to build value for all of our stakeholders."

This measure has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of our operating performance. We present Adjusted EBITDA because management uses this measure as a key performance indicator, and we believe that securities analysts, investors and others use this measure to evaluate companies in our industry. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly named measures reported by other companies. Potential differences may include differences in capital structures, tax positions and the age and book depreciation of intangible and tangible assets.

We can see in affliction that the world is not what it seems, not what it promises, and not what we expected and flattered ourselves with. Whatever a man makes his riches, whether friend, wealth, or earthly interests, they cannot deliver out of the hands of death and judgment (Prov. 11:4). The soul finds by experience the unsuitableness and dissatisfaction in all these things. There is no comparison between an invisible soul and visible comforts; an immortal soul and perishing contentments; a spiritual being and an earthly portion. The air we breathe will as soon fill a hungry belly as creature-comforts will satisfy the spirit. In the hour of trial the soul says, 'Miserable comforters you all are, you physicians of no value' (Mark 5:26). Ah, but there is infinite fullness in Jesus Christ. He is suited to all the needs of poor undone sinners. No king was anointed with such power; no prophet with such wisdom; no priest with such grace, for God gave him the Spirit without measure (John 3:34), and of his fullness we receive grace for grace. ...He infinitely transcends all the beauty and glory of the world. He is our King to govern; our Prophet to teach; our Priest to save.
Ummm... the redemptive historical method contradicts the "linguistic nature of the texts themselves"? Is he serious? Can he be so narrow minded as to miss what is obvious from the text of Scripture itself? When a christian chooses not to presume that the various examples of behavior found throughout the historical narratives of Scripture are normative for Christian ethics in every generation, that is not at all the same thing as denying the plenary inspiration of the Scriptures (II Tim 3:16-17), nor does that lack of presumption inhibit the Scriptures in their entirety from being "profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness" (II Tim 3:16). Ohlman is not simply mistaken in this regard. He is wrong as well.
Secondarily, the way in which these "texts are treated" by the New Testament authors affirms and confirms the solid foundation of redemptive historical interpretation, and that the historical narratives per se cannot be interpreted as standing laws which are normative for Christians ethics in all generations, but must be interpreted in light of their own redemptive-historical context. For example, God clothed Adam and Eve with animal skins in the garden. And in Deuteronomy 22:11-12, God says, "You shall not wear cloth of wool and linen mixed together." Should we therefore disregard the narrative of redemption or the historical context of those passages and conclude that Christians ought to clothe themselves with animal skins only, and to avoid wearing clothing which use plant fibers (as linen does, as apposed to wool which is made of animal hair). Should we also conclude that it is immoral for Christians to wear clothing made of synthetic fibers? After all, God clearly clothed Adam and Eve with animal skins, not polyester.
Consider another example. The Law of God says: "You shall make yourself tassels on the four corners of the garment with which you cover yourself." Later on the New Covenant we find Jesus wearing tassels on his garments (Matt. 9:20; 14:36; Mark 5:25; Luke 8:43, 44). Should we therefore conclude that all Christians at all times wear tassels on their garments too? Vaughn Ohlman's hermeneutic necessarily accepts these historical examples as normative for Christian ethics today. But don't misunderstand my main point: Vaughn Ohlman may not accept it himself. How can that be? Well, that can only be if his hermeneutic is arbitrary at this point. And if it's arbitrary, it's inconsistent too.
Last of all, Ohlman asserts that his interpretation is "the way most commentators and preachers have treated those texts and examples throughout history." That is simply not true. But even more embarrassing is the fact that he doesn't mention any commentators or preachers, let alone "most" of them, who support this narrow-minded claim of his. All one would have to do is take a cursory glance through the Nicene and Ante-Nicene church fathers, and the popular protestant reformers like Calvin, Luther, Bullinger, Zwingle, Knox, Baxter, Bunyan, Henderson, Rutherford, Owen, Turretin, etc.. in order to realize how bogus this claim of Ohlman's is. Such claims of his are a mask to cover up his bogus scholarship. "Most" commentators and "preachers" throughout history did not treat the various and widespread historical narratives of Scripture as standing examples of law which are normative for Christian ethics at all times. Ohlman needs to step down from his hermeneutical high horse to see what reality is like.
Sadly, Ohlman recommends Greg Bahsnen's books on theonomy ("By This Standard," "Theonomy In Christian Ethics," and "No Other Standard") on his blog. I say sadly because Dr. Greg Bahnsen spends an exhaustive amount of time demonstrating that this aspect of redemptive-historical hermeneutics, which Ohlman rejects, is fundamental to a consistent theonomic interpretation of Christian ethics contained within the Bible, and that Ohlman's rejection of such historic principles are an embarrassment to the "theonomic" community.

Here's a card I received from my good friend Sarah Safar from Cambridge, using that cutie-patootie "Polka Dots & Paisley" set from the Spring mini catty. I love how the top flap of the card opens up -- that's adorable!
Another great card from Jennifer Tinline (my fellow Founders Circle chickita), and I just love how the Dazzling Diamonds really perks up this great colour-blocked creation!
Let's see... here's one from Karen Motz and I'm going to be CASEing it for sure at the next retiring 10 Card camp I'll have -- fast, fun and fabulous! I am seriously going to miss "Petal Prints" when it retires, it's one of my fave floral sets.
Last but not least was a card from Alicia Ryckman -- isn't it purdy????
If you're stopping by my studio anytime soon, I'll have these cards up on display so you can see them better in person. Speaking of the studio, I think I'll have the last of the moving/re-org done by 2 weekends from now, just in time for my end of month events. Depending on how well my taxes are going, it might be sooner but I doubt it. I think my accountant will be spanking me this year for getting everything to him so close to Revenus Canada's filing deadline (eek!)- my bad.

Why I loved the HIMYM finale
Ginny	Culture and Society	 April 2, 2014 7 Minutes
My opinions about the season finale of How I Met Your Mother have grown stronger in the days since I watched it, and saw many other people's reactions. My first response was, "I never thought I would be okay with this but… I kind of like it." Reading a lot of people's negative responses, and the reasons behind them, has pushed me firmly into This was one of the best romantic comedy endings ever territory. And here's why.
The whole premise of the show, we thought, was ultimately going to be a fairy tale, Ted questing for his true love and then getting his happily ever after. Ted buys into that narrative whole-heartedly. Words like "the one" and "destiny" get thrown around. While he has a number of good relationships, alongside the multitude of not-so-good ones, he clearly views them as failures and false starts on his way to finding his One True Love.
All romantic comedies are fairy tales, and meeting or marrying the destined partner is the happily ever after. Plenty has been written about how inadequately that storyline reflects reality: that there are just as many (almost certainly more) messes and tears and misunderstandings after the big I Do or I Love You as before; that the most dramatic stories don't usually lead to the happiest love relationships; that maybe teaching ourselves to view meeting The One as the endgame of life isn't the healthiest pattern. But it's a compelling story and it's easy to get invested in it.
One of my big worries throughout the show was that The Mother couldn't possibly live up to the hype. But she did! She was fantastically written and fantastically cast, and pretty much charmed the pants off me in every scene. She was a perfect match for Ted without being at all obnoxious, which in itself is a minor miracle. (I don't hate Ted nearly as much as a lot of people do, but I grant his frequent obnoxiousness.) I loved her and if she'd shown up as a character and NOT been The Mother, I suspect the writers would've had a riot on their hands.
So it was that much more surprising (although in retrospect, it was telegraphed throughout the season at least) that that turned out not to be the story at all. The entire show was never about finding the one person who completes you, the one true love that give you your happy ending. It was about how love can be amazing and perfect and right at the moment, and then three years later, maybe it isn't right any more. Or maybe you lose that person through circumstances neither of you can control. But that doesn't mean it wasn't real love, doesn't mean it wasn't amazing and perfect and right when it was happening. And if you later fall in love with someone else, you don't have to pick which of the two is your "real" love story, your true destiny and the love of your life. They both are.
I was rooting for Barney/Robin from the moment they suited up and drank scotch together. (Hotttttt.) And their relationship was important to both of them: it let two commitmentphobes get a genuine workout in their issues, and when they broke up, it wasn't about lack of trust or the impulse to run away or the inability to resist that one little fling… it was just that they weren't making each other happy any more. And they were both honest enough, and cared for themselves and each other enough, to admit it. That's a brave and positive step, and one that I wished we saw more in stories. They had a great relationship, and the fact that it ended doesn't erase that.
And then The Mother's death. (Even though we find out near the end that her name is Tracy, she'll always be The Mother to me.) I'd read speculations that that was going to happen, and the way the last season played out brought me closer and closer (and with a heavy heart) to believing it. That one episode with the flash-forward of them going back to the inn and the "What mother would miss her daughter's wedding?" bit? Yeah. I got it, and I cried, and I hugged Shaun. One of the things HIMYM has done brilliantly is the tragedy of untimely death. In our medically advanced, "wars happen on other continents" culture, that's a thing that we try really, really hard to pretend doesn't happen. Or we try to give it a bigger meaning or significance, to distract from how much it hurts. HIMYM has never done that. People die, it hurts, it doesn't make sense. The only comfort is that we got to love them while they were here.
Tracy's own story foreshadows this really nicely, and it tells us (in case anyone was unclear) exactly how to take her death. We never met her former lover (what was his name? Mike maybe?) but it was clear she thought of him as her One True Love, her destiny… and when that destiny was cut short, she thought that was the end of love for her. And letting go of him, finding the ability to love again, didn't erase her love for him. The whole episode "How Your Mother Met Me" was great both in that we got to know Tracy better, but more so in that it pre-figured the process Ted was going to have to go through. We don't see him going through any of the steps Tracy did in the six years between her death and his telling of the story, but it's easy to imagine him slowly letting go of the idea of One True Love, and instead thinking of her as a true love.
And then we come to Robin, and here's where the show fell down a bit. (Or a lot.) Ted's pining for Robin in the latter seasons was SO obnoxious that it became impossible to root for them, even if the show hadn't been insistently telling us that they wouldn't get together (or so we thought, because we didn't question the assumption that "the mother of my children, the woman who made my life incredibly happy" = "the only woman I'll ever be with for the rest of my life.") I actually did root for them in the early seasons, or wanted to: there were a lot of moments where I was like, "Dammit! Why can't it be Robin?" But by the end it had turned from "two people who are so close to being right for each other, but agonizingly not close enough" to "OMG Ted will you GET OVER IT?" I can see why he didn't. He loved her, and he was fixated on the idea of romantic destiny, and when those two things go together it can be very hard to let go of someone. But it dragged on too long and was too one-sided, and ultimately that "I love you + destiny = obsessing futilely over you for years" equation is not attractive or healthy.
And I guess, because of the whole destiny delusion, it was easy for people to read the whole story as, "Robin was Ted's ultimate destined True Love, Tracy was just another distraction that happened to give him kids." But I don't see that and I don't think the actual writing of the show supports that. The Robin-as-destiny concept was false and flawed and childish. Ted had to grow up and grow out of it. He sort of did, in the last season, but it was too little and waaaay too late to have any impact other than "my god, finally." And then the whole locket thing brought it back in in a way I really disliked. I think it would've been better if Ted had had his "actually letting Robin go" moment a few seasons back, and then their continuing chemistry and love could have been gently hinted at at moments here and there, without it ever being about one of them helplessly pining for the other.
I also get why a lot of people feel betrayed by the way it all played out. In a lot of ways, the whole show was a huge bait-and-switch. The entire premise was supposed to be a traditional love story with a fairy-tale happy ending, and it turned into a story about how love takes many forms, and loving someone sometimes means saying goodbye, and there are actually no happy endings at all, because the story keeps moving and changing and what you actually get (hopefully!) is a sequence of happy middles, sometimes very different from each other. That is a much better story! Or at least it's a much truer story, and one I wish our culture would tell itself more often.
And it's not that lifetime love never happens, either. Marshall and Lily provide a counterpoint story, one of a single love that flourishes over a lifetime. But theirs is realistic too: they have to fight and struggle and sometimes their dreams conflict, and they have to make tough choices. I loved that moment when they said new wedding vows to each other, and agreed that they'd probably need to do the same thing again multiple times in the future. They keep choosing each other, through all the changes that happen, and it's a free and happy choice for both of them.
There were other little things in the finale that I loved: I loved that becoming a dad was Barney's real transformative moment, and goddammit if Neil Patrick Harris didn't make that well-worn trope moving and beautiful. I like that Marshall had to go back to being a corporate lawyer for many years more before getting his judgeship. Having to take jobs you don't like is another harsh, oft-denied reality that the show's done a good job with over the years. I like that Robin fulfilled all her personal dreams: if she had ended up giving up on them in favor of a relationship with anyone, I'd have burned shit down. I like that there were long periods where the group of friends had grown apart and rarely saw each other; their lifelong friendship wasn't about things always being the same between them, but about the fact that they could always come together after a long separation, and always wanted to.
I dunno. I thought it was great.
