If you feel uncomfortable interacting with strangers and friends alike because of teeth that are discolored, darkened, chipped, or unevenly spaced, we may have the perfect solution for your teeth's imperfections. As part of our commitment to helping our patients build a smile they can be proud of, KB Smiles offers porcelain veneers, a restorative option that can simultaneously fix your teeth's size, shape, color, and spacing issues, restoring your confidence and quality of life.
Veneers are thin pieces of custom-made, highly durable, tooth-shaped porcelain that adhere to the front surface of your teeth. The entire porcelain veneer process takes place over the course of, on average, two visits. On your initial visit, you will discuss with one of our specialists what you do and don't like about your teeth and how you would like them to look. We can also use one of several different methods, such as wax "veneers" on a model of your teeth, to show you how you will look after treatment. If you're happy with what you see, we prepare your teeth for the veneers by removing some enamel and buffing the surface. Finally, we create a mold of your teeth and choose a color. You'll be fitted with temporary veneers while you wait for your permanent ones to be made. Once they're ready, you'll come in for your final visit to have them bonded to your existing teeth, perfecting your smile.


We don't need to say much here as we've already covered most of the information in the previous page. Quickly, though, before we do move onto the benchmarking side of things, you can see below our two setups. Both are running at stock with the latest driver at the time of testing.
Let's leave it at that and just get into it to see just who manages to come out ahead!
When we benchmark our video cards and look at the graphs, we aim to get to a certain level of FPS which we consider playable. While many may argue that the human eye can't see over 24 FPS or 30 FPS, any true gamer will tell you that as we climb higher in Frames Per Seconds (FPS), the overall gameplay feels smoother. There are three numbers we're looking out for when it comes to our benchmarks.
30 FPS - It's the minimum number we aim for when it comes to games. If you're not dropping below 30 FPS during games, you're going to have a nice and smooth gaming experience. The ideal situation is that even in a heavy fire fight, the minimum stays above 30 FPS making sure that you can continue to aim easily or turn the corner with no dramas.
60 FPS - It's the average we look for when we don't have a minimum coming at us. If we're getting an average of 60 FPS, we should have a minimum of 30 FPS or better and as mentioned above, it means we've got some smooth game play happening.
120 FPS - The new number that we've been hunting down over recent months. If you're the owner of a 120 Hz monitor, to get the most out of it you want to get around the 120 FPS mark. Moving from 60 FPS / 60 Hz to 120 FPS / 120 Hz brings with it a certain fluidity that can't really be explained, but instead has to be experienced. Of course, if you're buying a 120 Hz monitor to take advantage of 3D, an average of 120 FPS in our benchmark means that in 3D you will have an average of 60 FPS, which again means you should expect some smooth gameplay.
Adding new game benchmarks is a long, tedious and time consuming task as every video card has to be re-tested in those new benchmarks. Because of that reason we have always just evaluated our benchmark line up every six months. To stay up to date and current with the latest benchmarks and games available, we've changed our approach to adding new benchmarks.
Our benchmark line up will progress and be updated as newer more intensive games with benchmarks comes to light. While this will mean that initially you may only see a single video card in those particular graphs, as the weeks go on and we test more and more video cards, the results will grow quickly. This will help keep our benchmark line up as up to date as possible as we introduce and remove games on a constant basis.

Q: how to keep the datetime format from csv to mysql database when importing data? I have a csv file where I changed the initial datetime format:

*

*from m/d/yyyy h:mm (6/15/2011  5:26:00 PM)

*to   yyyy-dd-mm h:mm (2011-15-06 17:26)
This was done in order to avoid 0000-00-00 as datetime value in MySQL database when importing data from that csv to MySQL.
This did not fix the problem. I still found 0000-00-00 as datetime value in my database.
To fix the problem, I first created the database in mysql (before importing the data from the csv file),  and I used Datetime type in order to keep the values of date and time from that csv file.
Did I forget something? or is there any better way to fix that problem?

A: You might be having this problem because you aren't putting your dates in quotes.  This won't work
INSERT INTO some_table 2011-07-12;

but this will
INSERT INTO some_table "2011-07-12";

Try editing one of the rows in your CSV file to put the date in quotes and see if that one gets read in properly.

A: try change day/month 2011-15-06---->2011-06-15 ;)
and look at zeros may be it 00-00-0000 not 0000-00-00

A:
you can change the date format in the csv to format '2005-03-15' as shown in above image. Also, in the database table use 'date' or 'datetime' (based on requirement). On  file import, you should see correct datetime field.

This should solve this issue.

Off-White Clothing Trend

Off-White Clothing Is Making A Serious Comeback - Here's How To Make It Work
Darren Griffin
If core fashion principles apply — and they certainly should — we all have approximately six months to wear as much white as possible. But will we? That's always the question when it comes to white, and most men's obvious discomfort with wearing it on a relatively consistent basis. For most, it comes across as a daunting task, one that requires grace, fearlessness, and the ability to not spill anything on yourself for at least a few hours out of the day. The apprehension of that alone is enough to scare the lion's share of men away for good.
Luckily there is an alternative to these summer white woes, and it's as simple as knocking the bleached shade down a notch or two. Much like a younger sibling or the second of fraternal twins, off-white isn't that far gone from its big brother. In fact, lighter shades of off-white don't differ much from white at all. But even the most minute detail can land an experimental fashion case square in the midst of a much needed comfort zone.
Off-white has been deemed the "it" color of the season. It's cool, fresh, and far from the conformity of simply wearing white. Much of this infatuation with the endearing tone began indirectly with the emergence of Off-White, a progressive, high-end streetwear label birthed by Virgil Abloh, fashion purveyor and creative director for Kanye West. Abloh — among those on the short list for the coveted 2015 LVHM Award — pensively patterns this label for our current cultural climate, changing from season to season with its basics planted firmly on its wide ranging consumers.
Debuting in Spring/Summer 2014 with a men's line to a newly introduced women's collection this season, Off-White features the tone greatly but isn't exclusive to it. Growth in the off-white allure rose quickly, with everyone including Kanye West, Drake, Kylie Jenner, Rihanna and the royal ones, Jay Z and Beyonce, seen in not only Abloh's new line, but off-white focused wardrobe findings generally.
•The sunlight was just right at that moment, couldn't miss this opportunity. Here's another sample from today's shoot with @manwearshats •
A photo posted by @raat_fashion on Mar 16, 2015 at 4:37pm PDT
Virgil had ignited the flame, and the industry undoubtedly took notice. Soon thereafter the runway was engulfed with off-white styling from head to toe. Labels in a similar vein like Stampd, Aime Leon Dore, and Kith all gravitated towards the tone, while high-end designers showed a similar affinity.
Jil Sander, River Island, Calvin Klein, All Saints, Club Monaco and plenty others debuted charming looks based in cream, beige and ivory hues. What's more, their visual aids on the runway helped strip away the often dejecting theory that piecing together what seems to be a intimidating risk that much more inculpable.
Tops/Bottoms
From top to bottom, this darkened shade of white can really and truly reinvent your spring look. Start by playing with the many aforementioned shades of off-white. Think in terms of the tried and true Canadian tuxedo. Not necessary with regards to mixing textures — although that can work too — but vary tonal tops and bottoms that compliment one another.
Take a cream tee and pair that with slim fit tonal denim. You can also go left with a crisp oxford shirt, shorts (just slightly above the knee), and slip-ons or loafers; a look that vocalizes comfort and confidence effortlessly. Also, don't be afraid of light layers. A trench coat, bomber jacket, or crew can take a simple look up a few notches with just a diminutive amount of resolve.

As bassist, bandleader, and co-producer of Bob Marley & The Wailers, Aston Barrett played a huge role in creating reggae's rhythm and style. In the video above, Jake Hawrylak examines the bass techniques Aston used to set The Wailers apart and help make Marley and the band international sensations.
Aston is known for playing a Fender Jazz Bass with a picking position around where the neck meets the body.
In "Get Up, Stand Up," you can hear two important aspects of Aston's bass playing—how his lines always serve the song's larger arrangement and the laid-back yet propulsive feel that typifies his approach to reggae. In the chorus, he employs a call-and-response line to Marley's vocals, supporting the melody without getting in its way. And in the verse, he plays a triplet figure that's largely behind the beat, but with the "3" landing early to propel the line forward.
Similarly, Aston's eighth-note swing, as heard on "I Shot the Sheriff," centers the rhythm farther in the measure. And in a dominant trick of reggae, it drops the 1 entirely.
Jake uses "Is This Love" to show off Aston's melodic playing—which uses an F#m and a Dm7 arpeggio, as well as a truncated figure to jump into the chorus. But this song also demonstrates the same pulled-back triplets and swung eighth-notes in earlier examples, while "One Drop" gives a name to that signature rhythmic move.
"This song really encapsulates a lot of the things about Aston's style that we covered today. We've got the swung eighth notes—" Jake says as he demonstrates. "That would not sound cool if we played it [straight]. It would sound like a polka band or something."
Of course, Aston leaves out the 1 on each phrase he plays, outlines chords with melodic arpeggios, and maintains the relentless groove throughout the song.
Be sure to watch the whole video above and use our tabs below to learn these techniques before incorporating them into your own style.


I remember back during the last few years of the Vietnam war, in the early 70s, reading an article in the magazine that came with the weekend edition of the newspaper, about the various booby-traps the enemy was using against US soldiers.
I was 7 or 8 at the time and living on the edge of a small pulp and paper town up in Northwestern Ontario (sparsley inhabited wilderness). Me and my brothers spent most of our time out in the bush making forts and hiking around, so we were fascinated with the eleborate mechanisms the NVA and VC were making with sticks and other natural materials.
Sharpened bamboo covered with pig manure was a common ingredient in most constructions, as was the occasional venomous snake tied to a stick. It was all pretty exotic for someone growing up in a world of spruce trees. The only threat to my well-being was having my favorite TV show pre-empted by a football game.
The magazine article was part of a series, and the next week featured the high-tech booby-traps of the American forces. They weren't quite as interesting; all of them were more or less variations on the theme of explosives blowing pieces of steel around. None of them were hand-crafted, and in the full-colored drawings they just looked like little plastic boxes. I gave them second-place in the creative design category.
What caught my attention, and still does to this day, was how to set up a series of claymore anti-personnel mines so the enemy soldiers would actually jump on them, or at least run towards them, just before they exploded. That made the little plastic boxes more interesting. I remember me and my brothers having quite a few arguements trying to second-guess the enemy's response, and therefore where to place the second (third, fourth…) anti-personnel mine if our living room was ever infiltrated.
It's like a well thought out chess manoever, but with different equipment. For instance, you hear a big bang, you turn away from it or move away. It's human nature to minimize injuries. So the second one goes over where you would run to get away from the first. The third is placed in the same way.
Later on we applied this technique to kill houseflys. Imagine a housefly sitting on a table. You move forward and try to hit it by smacking your hand down on the table. It rarely works because the fly sees the hand coming and flys up and away.
So what you do is take your hands and clap them together above the fly, or above the place the fly is when your hands start to move. The fly jumps up when your hands start to move, and literally flys up into your hands. If he he'd just stayed where he was on the table, nothing would have happened to him.
The fly is faster, and you can't compete with his speed and agility, but you're smarter and you know where he's going. The slow hand gets the fast fly.
I didn´t knew the houseflies were among the threatened species!
Land of the Giants… I wish. We never got super cool stuff like that. We only had one channel. The show was Walt Disney World, shown on Sunday nights. Of course, sometimes the Bugs Bunny Roadrunner Hour could get pre-empted too. One TV channel, no VCRs, no computers. Sound like Planet of the Apes.
I really like this entry — a meditation on how children are interested in the mechanics of violence — and how adults map out calculated strategies to inflict maximum damage. The mix of text and art works very well, too.
You may not have intended to reflect on the Iraq War, but I saw connections — especially to the so-called "flypaper theory" defense. Sad to think who is setting up improvised claymore-type explosives today — and sadder still that the "flies" who jump up into God's hands are somebody's loved ones.

Traveling via a luxury train? You may soon get to watch movies through Amazon Prime
The railways, which sees Rs. 18,000 crore revenue potential for these initiatives, has already received a host of proposals from several tech-based companies seeking to establish a partnership
Rasul Bailay & Rajat Arora ,

Next time you catch a Shatabdi train, you could watch your favourite Hollywood flick or catch your daily television soap on your mobile device through in-train Wi-Fi. Ecommerce titan Amazon is in talks with the Indian Railways for distribution of Amazon Prime's content in premium trains such as Shatabdi, Rajdhani and Duronto, two people aware of the development said.
If the negotiations fructifies, travellers in such trains will be able to watch Hollywood, Bollywood and even television shows that are part of Amazon Prime's video-on-demand streaming service.
Executives from Amazon Prime have held three-four meetings with railway officials and the two parties are expected to finalise details of a possible deal at the next dialogue expected to take place in Bengaluru within a fortnight, a person familiar with the development told ET.
A senior railway official said, "They have proposed to distribute the Amazon Prime content in our premium trains through local Wi-Fi." That means, one cannot use this Wi-Fi connection to surf the internet. "A distribution box will be installed inside coaches which will be updated regularly. Passengers will be able to consume content on their own devices," the railway official said.
Amazon declined comment, said it doesn't "comment on future plans". The negotiations with Amazon Prime are in line with the railways' plan to boost non-fare revenues by selling advertising spaces inside and outside trains and railway stations, and branding rights for stations and trains, besides leasing out spaces for ATMs and shops, and allowing radio and video content distribution through Wi-Fi hotspots.
Railways, which sees `18,000-crore revenue potential for these initiatives, has already received a host of proposals from several tech-based service providers. Uber and Ola have approached railways to integrate their services with IRCTC's website and app for ferrying passengers to and from stations. Earlier this month, railways launched a new IRCTC app for unreserved ticketing, and payments for the same can also be made through Paytm and Mobikwik.
Amazon itself is separately in talks with the railways to use some of its locations for logistical purposes of its ecommerce business.

The Historical Jewish Law Moot Court, run by the University of Vienna, the Justus-Liebig-University Gießen, the Moscow State University, the University of Tel Aviv and Yeshiva University, Cardozo Law School, New York aims at introducing participants to Jewish law as it was practiced in the early modern period. The focus is on the application of Jewish law under concrete historical conditions rather than on Jewish law as a timeless normative system, on "law in action" rather than on "law in the books". In 2016 a case from the 18th century, where guardians were tried for the embezzlement of the property of an orphan before the Rabbinical Court of Frankfurt-on-Main provided the background for the Historical Jewish Law Moot Court. In 2017 and 2018 cases adjudicated by the Rabbinic Tribunal of Prague, arguably the most important Jewish legal forum both in the Western Ashkenazic world and in the Holy Roman Empire, served as a point of reference for the Historical Jewish Law MC. In 2019 the Historical Jewish Law MC will be held in conjunction with the Ius Commune MC with the finals taking place at the Supreme Court of the State of Israel in Jerusalem. A case which the Imperial Aulic Council in Vienna decided in part on the basis of Jewish law will serve as a historical reference case.
The students' progress will be monitored on the basis of their participation in the pre-moots and the moot.
There are seven conditions for a successful participation in the 4th Historical Jewish Law Moot Court 2018/2019:
- interest in, but no prior knowledge of Jewish law
- a letter of motivation
- above average English language skills
- readiness to be part of a team
- participation in at least two of the three pre-moots, Vienna & Eisenstadt, Metz and Tel Aviv & Jerusalem
- participation in a minimum of 28 lectures, excursions and coaching units in the summer term 2019
- writing a seminar paper based on the oral pleading in the moot court (in order to gain 4 additional ECTS)
The moot counts as the final examination.

The Rock Doctors & Opinions on The Shins
Rock Doctors: It's time to help another listener in need. Drs. Kot and DeRogatis consult with another ailing patient and give their rock and roll prescriptions. Then, stay tuned for reviews of new albums by John Mellencamp, The Shins and The Good, the Bad and the Queen.
Last week the Atlanta Police Dept., in conjunction with the RIAA, raided the Aphilliates Music Group office in Atlanta. The result was the confiscation of 81,000 mixtape CDs and the arrest of DJ Drama. Drama is one of the top mixtape DJs working today, having created pre-release buzz for rappers like T.I., Young Jeezy and Lil' Wayne. 50 Cent, Lupe Fiasco and The Clipse can also credit mixtape CDs with laying the foundation for their careers, and many of the best hip hop tracks released each year are put out by these underground DJs and not by the major labels. The question is why some members of the record industry are now treating this useful form of publicity as contraband. Jim and Greg invite hip hop historian and journalist Jeff Chang to join them in a discussion of the role of mixtapes in hip hop and the effects of this recent raid on the rap industry.
00:10:56 Review: John Mellencamp
Next up is a discussion of the latest album by Americana rocker John Mellencamp. Anyone who has seen a Chevrolet commercial in the past few months can probably recognize his new single, "Our Country." Previously, the singer/songwriter has criticized artists for "selling-out," but it seems the challenge of selling records today has prompted a change of heart. Whether or not they agree with Mellencamp's decision to go the commercial route is moot when it comes to Jim and Greg's review of the album. Freedom's Road is Mellencamp's 21st album, and Jim and Greg both find it pretty generic, and at times, even cheesy. Greg wishes his lyrics had the detail and sense of time and place that they once did. And Jim wishes the singer took more of a stand on the social and political woes he describes in the songs. Both critics give the album a Trash It.
Next up Drs. Kot and DeRogatis call another patient in from the waiting room. Rachel from Chicago, IL describes her musical symptoms as that of being stuck in a rut. She explains that she hasn't purchased any music in the past few years, and only listens to albums or mixes that her friends give her. Rachel is eager to improve her musical health though, and is willing to take her medicine -- however bad it tastes. In order to steer Jim and Greg in the right direction, Rachel gives her medical/musical history . She counts U2 (during the Joshua Tree-era) and Tom Petty as two of her favorite artists, and explains that she really appreciates melody and lyrics in her music.
Dr. Jim gives the first prescription. He clues into Rachel's heartland rock leanings, but also wants to challenge her more. He decides to give the patient a dose of Wilco. Like '80s-era U2 and Tom Petty, Jeff Tweedy and the members of Wilco are strongly influenced by guitar-based American folk and rock. There is a strong emphasis on lyrics and on telling stories of the American condition. But like U2, who chose to work with avant-garde producer Brian Eno on The Joshua Tree, Wilco can also be very experimental. Jim finds this is especially true of their last album A Ghost is Born.
Dr. Greg is up next. He suspects that one of the things Rachel likes so much about her favorite music is how anthemic it is. Both Bono and Petty are strong frontmen that get a rise out of their audiences. He believes this is also the case with the music of Montreal band The Arcade Fire. In fact, U2 opened up their last tour with a performance of the song "Wake Up" off their debut album Funeral. Again, the Arcade Fire might be a little more stylized than what Rachel is used to, but Greg hopes she will appreciate their epic sound.
A week later, the patient returns. Rachel relays that she is feeling a bit better, but is not totally cured. She realized that some of the Wilco and Arcade Fire songs were actually already in her iTunes collection without her even knowing it. Rachel enjoyed both albums, but not completely from beginning to end. She liked the more anthemic songs on Funeral like "Rebellion (Lies)" and "Crown of Love," but found some of the tracks a little noisy. However nothing was as noisy as Wilco's 15-minute experimental jam "Less Than You Think." But, even Jim and Greg agree that it's OK to skip past that "test" to more traditional pop/rock compositions like "Theologians" and "The Late Greats." Rachel doesn't think she's replaced her favorite standards, but looks forward to keeping up with these two bands and getting more new music like... The Shins (up next in the show).
Wincing the Night Away The Shins
Our Rock Doctors patient and tons of fans have been anxiously awaiting The Shins' third album, Wincing the Night Away. The band got notice after its first two albums received critical praise and industry buzz. Natalie Portman's character in Garden State even proclaimed that their music would "change your life." Now the Albuquerque band attempts to change more lives with their new Sub Pop release. Jim admits that he previously found the Shins' brand of "power-pop" more wimpy than powerful. But he thinks the band has added more depth and more kick to their sound without sacrificing their light, jangly sound or poetic lyrics. He gives the album a hearty Buy It. Greg agrees. He appreciates that despite the band's increased success and increased budget, the sound remains modest. He predicts fans will need to give Wincing the Night Away a few listens before really "getting it," but also gives the album a Buy It.
The Good, the Bad and the Queen The Good & the Bad and the Queen
The final album up for review this week is by The Good, the Bad and the Queen. The band is a "supergroup" of sorts, formed by former Blur frontman Damon Albarn. Like with his project Gorillaz, Albarn is joined by a number of big name musicians and producers including The Clash bassist Paul Simonon, Verve guitarist Simon Tong, pioneer and Africa 70 drummer Tony Allen and DJ Danger Mouse. Fans are anxiously awaiting a potential Blur reunion, but for now they have this group's self-titled debut. Jim, for one, is sated. He thinks Albarn is one of the greatest creative forces working today and finds the album to be a really effective, sustained mood piece. He gives The Good, the Bad and the Queen a Buy It. Greg, on the other hand, was completely bored by the record. He didn't hear any all-star talent from the all-star lineup and gives a Trash It rating.

By home recording studio furniture I mean all the furniture that has something to do with your recording studio. Not your couch, nor your bed, although these might become part of the process after 16 hours sitting in your chair trying to straighten out that terrible mix.
Actually by studio furniture I mean things like recording desks, instrument and speaker stands, studio equipment racks.
Imagine your new recording studio where everything fits neatly in its own space and you won't have to dive through a pool of cables or tip your speakers over just to get to your computer cabinet.
It involves a little planning but it can improve the look and feel and even the acoustics of the room to have the right furniture in your recording studio.
This will be perhaps the single biggest piece of furniture in your recording studio, and the most important as far as studio furniture goes. This can hold your computer case, keyboard and screen(s), your mixer and even your studio monitor speakers on some of the models. More on the recording studio desk here.
These are racks that contain your studio rack mount gear. They come in various shapes and sizes but all fit the same rack mount standard. Rack mount compatible gear can be almost anything: Effects processors, amplifiers, preamps, recorders, tuners, you name it. More on studio equipment racks here.
This includes for example guitar stands and keyboard stands or benches. Helps you protect your instruments while they're (not) in use.
Then there's the matter of the recording studio chair. If you use your recording studio a lot this is the place where you will spend hours on hours.
This really is an important piece of your recording studio furniture. The main thing is that its comfortable of course.
You will get tired after many hours in your studio mixing and recording, but be sure that the chair is not to blame.
Having an ergonomic chair would be the best thing. A chair that lets your body rest in a natural position while you work.
Another important thing to make sure of is that it doesn't squeak. That might just kill your most important recording.
A sturdy, comfortable (preferably ergonomic) non-squeaky chair would be a good way of taking care of yourself during the countless hours in your recording studio.


The Society of Jesus or the Jesuits, for short, missions men in formation to the Jesuit School of Theology of Santa Clara University to complete theology studies or advanced degrees. JST is one of two Jesuit theologates in the United States where men in formation prepare for their area of ministry or for ordination. Some Jesuits attend JST after theology studies to pursue special studies in their academic or professional field. Distinctly Ignatian in mission and identity, the Jesuit School of Theology eagerly welcomes students from other religious communities as well as lay students into its degrees and programs.
Learn more by reading a short profile of the Society of Jesus, or follow links below to explore more about the Society of Jesus.
In 1540, St. Ignatius Loyola and his first companions founded a new type of Catholic religious order: the Society of Jesus. Recognized for their missions, schools, and formative way of praying known as the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, Jesuits and their co-workers embody a religious lifestyle and mission attuned to finding God in all things. The integration of contemplation, action, and intelligence for which Jesuits are famous permeates every aspect of its institutions, including the Jesuit School of Theology of Santa Clara University in Berkeley.
Is God calling you to join the Society of Jesus?

Richard Branson's latest Virgin announcement
Kate Bassett -
February 10, 2010 October 8, 2018
Three years after NTL and Telewest completed their merger and acquired Virgin Mobile, NTL:Telewest Business has been rebranded as Virgin Media Business.
Branson hinted that the NTL and Telewest brands should have been consigned to the dustbin long ago: "I've given our old branding manager a ticket for my Virgin Galactic spaceship – and it's one-way," he joked.
Asked whether tagging the word "business" on to the Virgin brand would impact its association with fun and creativity, Branson shook his head: "Business should be fun," he said. "Yes, the word has stuffy connotations – but business is actually just about a bunch of people creating things."
Virgin Media Business says it is set to "shake up the UK business telecoms market" and become a compelling alternative to BT. Virgin Media Business will operate from 40 offices located across the UK and will deliver a "highly personalised service" to mid-sized, national enterprises and the public sector.
We interviewed Branson at the tail-end of last year as part of our Saving Britain's Future campaign, when he gave us his prescription for regenerating the country: "The UK needs less bureaucracy, more attractive taxation rules for business builders, a revitalised private equity sector to back new companies and some co-ordinated investment in infrastructure and transport." Read his comments here. [Note: He told us last night that he thought the cover illustration was "very flattering"! Check it out here.] And make sure you listen to this brilliant speech by Rowan Gormley on what it's like to work with Branson – and his embarrassing "silent interview".

Which ports are required for DCOM communication between Financial Management components?
In order for HFM to work, port 135 needs to be open, plus the dynamic DCOM range. By default, dynamic DCOM ports are randomly chosen in a range from 1024 to 65535 (the "Internet range"). See this document from Microsoft for more details on DCOM networking.
Add your range of ports here, removing what you don't need.
The two options below the range list should be left to Internet range unless the range you need is under 1024. See this document from Microsoft for more details on this step.
repeat this operation on all the machines where an HFM component is installed, including Win32 clients and Financial Reporting Studio clients, always specifying the same range.
An HFM application server will need at least as many open DCOM ports as there are applications running, plus one for the server itself (e.g. 4 applications -> 5 ports). However, specifying less than 20 ports will probably result in reliability issues and poor performance. In order to allow for effective cluster coordination, unexpected situations (broken connections etc) and long-term scalability, in most cases it is advisable to open a range of about 100 ports for a typical configuration (HFM spread among 2 or 3 machines plus a few clients, with users accessing mostly through the web interface).

Friedrich IV., Herzog von Österreich#
b. 1382, d. Innsbruck (Tyrol), June 24, 1439, son of Duke Leopold III, Duke of Austria, of the Leopoldinian Line of the Habsburgs. Entrusted with the administration of the Tyrol and the western domains, known as the Vorlande, in 1402 (alone in 1406), and founded a short-lived Tyrolean line. At first came into conflict with external adversaries (wars with Appenzell, Venice, and the House of Wittelsbach) and had to fight against internal opposition of the nobility, which resulted in two alliances, the "Elefantenbund" in 1406, and the "Falkenbund" in 1407. When Pope Johannes XXIII, who was F.'s ally, fled from Konstanz in 1415, F. was outlawed by Emperor Sigismund, and the core territories of the Habsburgs were consequently lost to the Swiss. However, F., supported by the peasants, was able to assert himself against the Emperor, the neighbouring countries and the nobility. In return for the peasants' help F. laid down the duties of the "courts" in the Tyrolean constitution (constitution of the estates as representatives of the country). He transferred his official residence from Merano/Meran to Innsbruck and consolidated his position from 1425. When silver was found in Gossensass (Colle Isarco) and in Schwaz, the country experienced a period of prosperity. He had a son, Sigmund, with his second wife Anna von Braunschweig and became well-known under the nickname, given to him by his aristocratic adversaries, "the one with empty pockets".

Our relationships with tribal nations
The United States Government has a unique legal relationship with Indian tribes, defined by treaties, statutes, executive orders, court decisions and the U.S. Constitution itself. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers interacts with tribes on a government-to-government level within this framework.
Indian tribes are considered independent nations according to U.S. law and court decisions, and must be dealt with by the U.S. government, including the Corps of Engineers, in the same way we would deal with any other nation.
Nashville District Tribal Liaison
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nashville District coordinates, consults, and works with tribes on a multitude of projects and issues, including cultural resources management and protection, fish and wildlife conservation and restoration, access to sacred sites, water resource development, flood risk reduction, permitting actions and environmental restoration.
In undertaking any action which may impact tribal rights or interests, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is guided by the following six principles:
Recognition of Tribal Sovereignty
Fullfillment of Federal Trust Responsibilities to Tribes
Interaction on a Government-to-Government Basis
Pre-Decisional, Open, and Honest Consultation
Support for Tribal Self Reliance, Capacity Building, and Growth
Preservation and Protection of Natural and Cultural Resources
Cultural resources: repatriation and reburial
Repatriation and reburial of Native American human remains and cultural objects: The 1990 Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) allows for the disposition and repatriation of Native American human remains and certain cultural items to culturally affiliated Indian tribes. The NAGPRA plan outlines roles and responsibilities and establishes forms to track compliance status. Section 208 of the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) of 2000 gives the Corps authority to set aside areas at civil works projects to rebury Native American remains at government expense. The plan provides consistent practices for establishing new reburial areas and formalizes those areas which have already been used by the tribes for the burial of human remains.
About cultural resources
Cultural resources represent a partial record of thousands of years of human occupation, adaptations and use of the land and its resource potentials.
Most often, cultural resources refer to definite, physical places that can be identified and located by the presence of artifacts or other material evidence, such as a prehistoric village site or a 19th century pioneer townsite. In a broader sense, the term also applies to abstract values and ideas. For example, a mountain considered to be sacred or plant with ritual uses would have special meaning to a tribal group, and therefore, as a traditional cultural property, are considered cultural resources.
Cultural resources are recognized as fragile, irreplaceable resources with potential public and scientific uses, representing an important and integral part of the nation's heritage. In order to meet its legal responsibilities, the Nashville District inventories, evaluates, uses, protects, preserves and interprets significant cultural resources with review and advice from the State Historic Preservation Office, appropriate Native American Tribal Governments and the President's Advisory Council on Historic Preservation. These latter two are not regulatory bodies, but advisory only.

Roger Ailes fires his 'right hand'
Ailes is now, for the first time, running Fox News without his top assistant. | AP Photo
Fox News communications executive Brian Lewis served as Roger Ailes's guardian for 17 years, battling bad publicity with infamous zeal and unwavering loyalty.
Then, on July 25, he was fired and escorted out of the building.
Lewis's abrupt departure, which Fox's parent company attributed to "financial irregularities" and breaches of contract, sent shock waves throughout the television news industry Tuesday. Lewis had been one of Ailes's top advisers since the network's inception in 1996, was a member of his inner circle and had the respect and trust of the president.
( PHOTOS: Roger Ailes's life and career)
At a company defined by an obsessive commitment to its own public image, Lewis was the gatekeeper of the brand. On Ailes's orders, he built and led a team of notoriously combative press representatives who fought against all perceived enemies — especially other media outlets — with a take-no-prisoners approach that was the envy of executives across the industry.
"He was such a bully, people were afraid of him," Michael Wolff, the author and media columnist, told POLITICO. "He was an attack dog, but specifically an attack dog for the press."
Gabriel Sherman, the author of a forthcoming book about Ailes, noted in a column that "Lewis's brief expanded far beyond mere public relations. He became Ailes's strategic-communications guru, tasked with handling strategy for some of Fox's most sensitive matters."
( Also on POLITICO: Fox News firing tied to Ailes book)
The specific reasons for Lewis's departure, which was first reported by The Hollywood Reporter, are so far unknown to those outside Fox News Channel's top rung. Lewis did not respond to a request for comment Tuesday.
In a statement, a representative of Fox News parent company 21st Century Fox said that the decision to terminate Lewis's contract came after "an extensive internal investigation."
"After an extensive internal investigation of Brian Lewis' conduct by Fox News, it was determined that he should be terminated for cause, specifically for issues relating to financial irregularities, as well as for multiple, material and significant breaches of his employment contract," the representative said. "He was terminated for cause on July 25."
( Also on POLITICO: Behind the Curtain: Ailes unplugged)
In conversations with POLITICO, executives and press representatives at other television news networks tried to read between the lines of that statement, but as to the specific reasons for Lewis's departure, they could only speculate.
"Brian really must have done something bad to lose Roger's trust," one television executive said.
Others cautioned that The Hollywood Reporter has long been a go-to source for Fox News PR and suggested that no conclusions could be drawn until Lewis had a chance to represent his side of the story. As to why THR's report was only coming out now, three and a half weeks after Lewis was reportedly escorted out of the offices, no one could say.
( Also on POLITICO: Roger Ailes' top adviser fired)
In its initial report, The Hollywood Reporter cited insiders who said that the close relationship "made it difficult for Ailes to cut Lewis loose."
Whatever the case, Ailes is now for the first time in history running Fox News without the man who was often described as his "right hand." Lewis joined the network as vice president of media relations six months before its launch in 1996. He was promoted to senior vice president in 2000 and executive vice president in 2006.
In his official biography on the Fox News website, which is no longer available, Lewis was credited with "launching the Fox News Channel to overwhelming consumer awareness, creating and implementing successful campaigns favorably positioning FNC against competing networks and corporations, and handling all crisis situations that have threatened the network."
Among reporters, Lewis's counterattacks on the press are the stuff of legend. He is known to be ruthless in going after any report that reflects negatively on Fox News or on Ailes, and has managed the organization through high-profile scandals, including a 2004 sexual-harassment lawsuit filed against Bill O'Reilly and a string of leaks to Gawker by former employee Joe Muto, who was known as the "Fox Mole."
Lewis has also overseen a team of equally formidable press representatives, including Irena Briganti, the notoriously hard-charging and impenetrable senior vice president of media relations, who is a top candidate for Lewis's position. Erica Keane, vice president of media relations for Fox Television Stations, has also been mentioned as a possible successor.
(With few exceptions, Fox News PR does not respond to inquiries from POLITICO; it stopped responding to this reporter altogether after he published a blog item on Feb. 3, 2012, highlighting how FoxNews.com gave less attention than other media outlets to a positive monthly jobs report).

US Equities: Flight to Quality amid Elevated Uncertainty
US equities could offer a degree of protection against current geopolitical uncertainty, notably given their lower dependency on Russian resources.
Strong earnings growth combined with challenged performance to start 2022 have led to improved valuations for the S&P 500, the bellwether US large cap equity index.
Investors who prefer a more domestic and cyclical mix could consider S&P MidCap 400 or Russell 2000 exposures.
Amid geopolitical uncertainty, investors may seek less impacted parts of the market, such as US equities. While global growth may deteriorate due to the implications of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, for now a recession is not priced in, especially in the US economy. Indeed, the US economy is not heavily dependent on Russian natural resources, including oil and gas. We believe that in the current environment US large cap exposures, such as the S&P 500, may be the optimal choice as they combine robust earnings and relative resilience to the crisis.
The S&P 500 index rebounded sharply after the initial shock of the COVID crisis thanks to immediate monetary support. However, the relative outperformance of US large caps, compared to other regions, was driven by a strong US economy and the company mix within the index. Indeed, the S&P 500 has a large weight in technology companies from various sectors. These tech giants look set to continue growing in the longer run, benefitting from structural mega trends. Their strong performance in the COVID era was often attributed to the long "duration" nature of companies within the large cap index.
However, amid uncertainty, the strong demand for products and services of companies within the S&P 500, coupled with a robust US economy, have been equally important. We believe that the S&P 500 may yet again offer a level of protection against this new geopolitical uncertainty, which, unfortunately, may persist longer than necessary.
Until recently, the biggest challenge facing investors looking to add to US large cap equities was elevated valuations. However, strong earnings from US large caps and poor performance so far in 2022 significantly improved the 12-month forward price to earnings multiple, which now sits at a relatively undemanding 18.6x, below the level of 20 February 2020 (as presented in Figure 1).
Although monetary policy tightening remains one of the challenges to navigate and a rate lift off in March of 25bps minimum is fully priced in, the path and the pace thereafter are more uncertain, particularly when it comes to quantitative tightening. US 10-year treasury yields remain anchored around 2% for now, providing support for the increasingly attractive relative valuations.
Figure 1: S&P 500 Performance and 12-Month Forward P/E
How to play the theme
Investor can access S&P 500 equities through the SPDR® S&P® 500 UCITS ETF. To learn more about the ETF, and to view its full performance history, please visit the fund page.
More domestic and cyclical alternatives for positioning with US equities
Investors could also consider adding US equity exposures beyond large caps. Both US mid and small caps offer distinct features not only due to their smaller size and more domestic profile but also given their more cyclical sector split relative to S&P 500 (see Figure 2). The S&P MidCap 400® Index, with a 12-month forward P/E of just 14.4x, could be a preferred strategy under a scenario in which the US Federal Reserve tightens monetary policy more aggressively. The less demanding valuation of the index would then serve as a cushion against expanding yields.
On the other hand, the Russell 2000® Index, or small cap index, represents a higher risk-reward exposure that is best suited to play the upside scenario of continuous cyclical recovery but with a milder yield expansion.
Figure 2: US Equity Indices – Sector Split
Investors can access US mid caps with SPDR® S&P® 400 U.S. Mid Cap UCITS ETF while SPDR® Russell 2000 U.S. Small Cap UCITS ETF enables access to US small cap exposure. To learn more about these funds, and to view full performance histories, please click the preceding links to visit their fund pages.

Hans Geistreiter (* 22. Mai 1910 in Regensburg; † 10. Januar 1996 ebenda) war ein deutscher Kunstmaler. Er lebte in Regensburg und später in Kallmünz.

Ausbildung
Geistreiter machte in der Zeit von 1925 bis 1928 eine Lehre als Theatermaler und besuchte anschließend von 1928 bis 1930 die Königliche Kunstgewerbeschule in München. In der Zeit von 1930 bis 1935 studierte er an der Akademie der bildenden Künste in München bei Olaf Gulbransson und Karl Caspar. Er war ein Meisterschüler mit eigenem Atelier.

Leben
Von 1935 bis 1938 war Geistreiter künstlerisch in Regensburg tätig, vorwiegend mit großen Fresken und Fassaden. Er war 1940, 1941, 1943 und 1944 mit sechs Bildern auf der Großen Deutschen Kunstausstellung in München vertreten. Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs war er Soldat. In dieser Zeit heiratete er Hildegard Kubus. Durch Bombenschaden verlor er fast alle Arbeiten.

Nach dem Krieg war er bis 1952 als Kulissenmaler und Maler für Faschings- und Kinoplakate tätig. Von 1952 bis 1959 arbeitete er als Innenarchitekt  im Auftrag einer Nürnberger Brauerei an Entwurf und Gestaltung von Gaststätten in ganz Deutschland. Von 1959 bis 1979 betrieb Geistreiter die Weinstube Am Kamin Hinter der Grieb 6 in Regensburg, die er nach eigenen Plänen gestaltete.

Im Jahre 1979 schrieb er in seinen Lebenslauf: "Endlich wieder Ruhe zur künstlerischen Arbeit". Er kaufte ein Haus in Kallmünz, Vilsgasse 16 und arbeitet als freier Künstler. Ein Zubrot verdient er durch Lehrtätigkeiten an der Akademie für Erwachsenenbildung in Regensburg.

1985 widmete ihm die Stadt Regensburg zu seinem 75ten Geburtstag eine große Ausstellung in der städtischen Galerie Leerer Beutel.
Vier Jahre danach erhielt er den Kulturpreis der Stadt Regensburg.

1996 starb Hans Geistreiter in einem Altenheim. 2008 tauchten Bilder von Haus Geistreiter aus den Jahren 1968 bis 1972 auf, ein Teil wurde in einer Ausstellung mit dem Titel "Gerettet...!" gezeigt. "Auch an diesen Bildern aus dem Müll zeigt sich, dass Hans Geistreiter eine herausragende Bedeutung unter den Regensburger Künstlern der Nachkriegsjahrzehnte zukommt", schrieb darüber Ulrich Kelber in der MZ.

Anlässlich seines 20. Todestages fand in Kallmünz eine Ausstellung statt: Hans Geistreiter, von Akten, Geistern und Abstrakten.
