The Raggaschlucht Waterfalls were a series of waterfalls nestled within the popular Raggaschlucht Gorge. While there were several smaller chutes and cascades squeezed into the depths of the gorge, the last (or uppermost) of the waterfalls was by far the most impressive as it had a classical drop of about 20-25m.
The gorge's formation was the result of tectonic forces as European Continental Plate subducted under the East Alpine Plate creating the mountains and associated gorges and gullies that cut even deeper into the joints or faults in the plates already in existence. It's said that the gorge was in the early stages of a transformation into a valley, and that over millions of years, it too, would eventually become a V-shaped valley much like other mature valleys in mountainous places like Austria.
The rugged mountains surrounding the Mölltal Valley hint at the violent tectonic forces that ultimately gave rise to the Raggaschlucht Gorge
As far as gorge walks were concerned, it was similar to other gorge walks throughout Austria and in parts of Bavaria in Germany in that what were otherwise be inaccessible canyons were now made accessible by wooden walks with steps clinging onto the rock walls of the gorge. Thus, you'd get this deafening effect of rushing water loudly reverberating between the narrow canyon walls while also getting so tantalizingly close to the dangerous rush of the stream right beneath the feet.
In the case of Raggaschlucht, it was said to be 800m long with an elevation gain of 200m. The hike was done one-way in a clockwise manner, which was a wise choice of traffic control considering how narrow the walkways were, and how difficult (and pointless) it would be for people to be going down the gorge from the top down instead of slowly going up from the bottom.
The excursion started with a short hike through a small village before ascending towards a kiosk at about 400m from the car park (see directions below). I paid 7 euros to get in (open from 9am to 5pm during peak Summer seaon), then promptly passed through the turnstile and continued on into the gorge walk.
The big waterfall finale at the end of the Raggaschlucht Gorge part of the excursion
Indeed, the path started off a little on the gentle side as it skirted the gorge flanked by some foliage as well as some little water channels along the gorge wall. But soon it reached a wooden walkway that went through an entrance door and immediately into the narrow depths of the Raggaschlucht Gorge.
For pretty much the entire walk, the path would overhang above the Ragga River down below as it climbed up a combination of ramps and steps all the while with cascades and chutes roaring beneath. When I did this hike at midday, there were moments of looking against the sun, which also created harsh shadows that made photography difficult due to the sharp contrast between light and dark.
Some parts of the canyon were narrow enough to hold onto rocks wedged by the gorge's width. Other parts of the gorge had circular shapes due to whirlpools and eddies drilling into the surrounding cliffs. Eventually towards the end of the 800m length of the hike, I encountered a final climb alongside a cascade then passing before the big waterfall finale at the end.
The rest of the Raggaschlucht portion of the hike went up switchbacking stairs providing higher views of the waterfall opposite the head of the gorge. And once I made it to the top, I was able to get a sweeping view across the Mölltal Valley before descending down a steep forest path where good shoes were a must in order to maintain decent traction on the steep slopes.
Overall, I managed to do this loop hike in around 90 minutes time (about 75 minutes on the loop part of the hike itself), which was more than the 60 minutes recommended time. Since my GPS wasn't working well while in the confines of the gorge, I estimated that the overall distance covered by this hike was on the order of 2.5km round trip using the car park as the starting point.
Route to this Waterfall
Getting to the Raggaschlucht Waterfalls let alone the gorge itself in the extensive Mölltal Valley (whose headwaters was at the Pasterze Glacier by the Grossglockner Peak) was pretty straightforward. We'll describe the directions coming from the east in Millstatt as well as coming from the west in Lienz.
The wide and grassy car park for the Raggaschlucht Gorge right in the middle of the Mölltal Valley
From Millstatt, we drove west on the B98 for about 8km to the A10 autobahn ramp heading west (keeping left at the fork). We then followed this freeway to its end in another 5km or so as it then continued heading west on the B100 for almost the next 4km before keeping right to go onto the B106 Road within the Mölltal Valley.
We then persisted on the B106 for about 24km before making a sharp left turn at the well-signed turnoff for the Raggaschlucht Gorge (or 5km west of the junction with the B105 at Obervellach). We then took the local road down the ramp and towards the grassy car park, which was very hot and exposed to the sun due to the lack of shade.
Overall, this drive took us about 45 minutes.
Coming from the other direction in Lienz, we'd drive east on the B107 for about 15km before turning right onto the B106 going east into the Mölltal Valley. Then, we continued about another 25km along the B106 before turning right into the ramp and well-signed turnoff for the Raggaschlucht car park.
Overall this drive took us about 45 minutes as well.
For geographical context, Millstatt was 85km (about an hour drive) west of Klagenfurt am Wörthersee, 75km (about an hour drive) east of Lienz , 99km (well over an hour drive) south of Sankt Johann im Pongau, and 151km (about 2 hours drive) southeast of Zell am See.

While it's not likely to fit in a Raggaschlucht Gorge excursion on the same day as doing the Grossglockner Hochalpenstrasse, it sure was tempting since they're close to each other
Prior to visiting the Raggaschlucht, we actually spent the better part of the morning driving up and down the Malta Hochalmstrasse with its picturesque waterfalls and reservoirs
Not far from Raggaschucht was the Millstättersee, which was one of the geothermally heated lakes sprinkled throughout the province of Carinthia
Further to the west of Raggaschucht was the city of Lienz, which was surrounded by pretty jagged mountains while featuring a cute altstadt that was compact and a nice place to hang out

Alex Rasmussen, né le  à Odense, est un coureur cycliste danois. Il a été quatre fois champion du monde sur piste : au scratch en 2005 et 2010, et à l'américaine et en poursuite par équipes en 2009. Il a entamé une carrière professionnelle sur route en 2009, après avoir été champion du Danemark sur route en 2007.

Biographie

Carrière amateur
Spécialisé dans le cyclisme sur piste, Alex Rasmussen remporte ses premiers titres nationaux en 2001, à 17 ans, sur le kilomètre et la poursuite par équipes. Il devient champion du Danemark dans d'autres disciplines (américaine, poursuite individuelle, course aux points) à plusieurs reprises durant les années suivantes. En 2005, il est sacré champion du monde du scratch à Los Angeles.

Parallèlement à cette carrière sur piste, Rasmussen participe à des épreuves sur route avec la sélection danoise. Il remporte ainsi une étape de Stuttgart-Strasbourg en 2005. En 2006, il s'impose sur le Tour de Berlin, une épreuve réservée aux moins de 23 ans, en décrochant deux étapes, et prend part à des courses d'un niveau supérieur, comme le Tour du Danemark ou le Grand Prix Herning dont il prend la deuxième place. Il devient également champion du Danemark du contre-la-montre dans la catégorie Espoirs.

En 2007, Alex Rasmussen intègre l'équipe Odense Energi, en compagnie d'autres pistards. Deuxième du GP Aarhus, il remporte comme en 2006 quatre titres nationaux sur piste, et devient champion du Danemark sur route.

Carrière professionnelle
En 2009, il devient professionnel au sein de l'équipe ProTour Saxo Bank avec son habituel coéquipier sur la piste, Michael Mørkøv. Après une saison sans victoire sur la route malgré une seconde place au championnat du Danemark du contre-la-montre, il commence très bien sa saison 2010 avec une victoire contre-la-montre lors de la  du Tour d'Andalousie. Il s'impose également sur le Grand Prix Herning au Danemark et sur les  et  des Quatre Jours de Dunkerque au sprint.

Il signe pour la saison 2011 dans l'équipe HTC-Highroad.

Peu avant les championnats du monde de cyclisme sur route, pour lesquels il était présélectionné, l'équipe HTC-Highroad résilie son contrat pour avoir manqué un contrôle antidopage sans en avoir informé sa direction. À ce manquement s'ajoutent deux autres oublis en 2010. Il risque entre trois mois et deux ans de suspension pour avoir manqué trois contrôles antidopage en 18 mois. Le Comité olympique danois ne le sanctionne toutefois pas, estimant que l'Union cycliste internationale (UCI) a commis une erreur de procédure. Ainsi autorisé à courir, il intègre l'équipe Garmin-Barracuda, avec laquelle il a signé un contrat en . Il se classe deuxième du Grand Prix de Denain et participe au Tour d'Italie, remporté par le leader de l'équipe Ryder Hesjedal. L'équipe Garmin-Barracuda remporte également le contre-la-montre par équipes, tandis que Rasmussen se classe troisième et quatrième des contre-la-montre individuels.

L'UCI fait cependant appel de la décision du Comité olympique danois auprès du Tribunal arbitral du sport, qui prononce une suspension de 18 mois à l'encontre d'Alex Rasmussen.

The situation is made worse when the soil is shallow or sandy as it will retain little water. In this situation you can help improve the soil by regularly mulching with organic matter (such as well-rotted manure or garden compost), doing so when the soil is wet to lock in the moisture.
But don't lose heart! There are plenty of plants which will cope with these unfavourable conditions and still provide you with colour and interest.
Growing to 1.5m height and spread, the alpine currant is a deciduous shrub with mid-green foliage and copes well with heavy shade. If there's a male and female planted together then the female will bear scarlet berries in the summer. If the shade is more dappled then the cultivar R. a. 'Aureum' can be planted, which has brighter, yellow-green leaves.
Prized for the fragrance of its winter flowers, the Christmas box is a dense, evergreen shrub growing to about 2m tall by 1m wide. The flowers are followed by glossy black fruits. It can be grown as a shrub or trimmed back as a hedge.
This rounded, evergreen shrub has dark red flower buds in autumn and winter which open into creamy-coloured flowerheads in the spring. If there's a male nearby, the female shrub will then bear bright red berries (choose S. j. subsp. reevesiana for a plant which has both male and female flowers). It eventually grows to 6m height and spread.
Camellias are a great choice for shade as the shelter will help protect the delicate flowers from late frosts and morning sunlight which can 'burn' the petals. There are many cultivars of Camellia japonica, so you can find the perfect size and colour choice for your garden.
For example, C. j. 'Madame Haas' is shown here.
The Japanese aralia is a very architectural, almost tropical looking plant with large, glossy, palmate leaves. In the autumn clusters of cream-coloured flowers pop up through the foliage. It grows up to 4m in height and spread but can be cut back to reduce the size. A variegated cultivar is available with cream edged foliage.
Lily-of-the-valley is a petite, deciduous perennial which grows to 20cm tall. It has white, fragrant flowers on arching stems in late spring. It spreads well and can also be used as ground cover. Try C. v. var. rosea for delicate pink flowers or C. v. 'Albostriata' for cream-striped leaves.
This autumn flowering, evergreen perennial has long, narrow green leaves. The violet flowers appear on long spikes and are followed by black berries. It grows to 30cm tall and 45cm wide. Try L. m. 'Monroe White' for white flowers or L. m. 'Variegata' for white striped foliage.
Although it doesn't have the most attractive name, the stinking iris only smells unpleasant if you crush its leaves. It bears purple flowers in early summer above the long, evergreen leaves, growing to 90cm tall. For yellow flowers try I. f. var. citrina.
The hart's tongue fern (shown left) takes its name from the shape of the long, evergreen, tongue-like, bright green leaves. The edges of the leaves, which arch out from the base, are often rippled and mature foliage will have dark red spore cases on the underside, arranged in a stripes. Try cultivars from the Crispum Group for more wavy leaf margins.
These deciduous geraniums will thrive in dark, dry conditions. Geranium nodosum has purple-pink flowers from spring to autumn and grows to 50cm height and spread. For a larger plant try Geranium phaeum, which grows to 80cm tall and 45cm wide and has dark violet flowers. Both species have a range of cultivars available with flowers in shades of white, pink, purple or blue.
The Japanese spurge (shown right) is an evergreen, bushy plant which will grow to only 20cm tall but will spread much further than this, providing excellent year round ground cover. In early summer deep pink buds appear followed by small spikes of fragrant white flowers.
This semi-evergreen, spreading plant (commonly called the pickaback plant) produces heart-shaped, ivy-like leaves and grows to 60cm tall by 1m spread. In early summer spikes of chocolate-brown flowers appear. For paler, mottled leaves try the cultivar T. m. 'Taff's Gold'.
Periwinkles, whether Vinca minor or Vinca major, will cope with shady, dry conditions and provide ground cover with their long, trailing stems. V. minor grows to 20cm tall while V. major reaches 45cm. Various cultivars of both species are available, providing flowers in a range of blues and violets, some with variegated leaf margins. Vinca plants can be invasive, so be prepared to cut them back regularly.

250 new parking spaces planned for Tile Hill railway station
The plans are currently being put together by Transport for West Midlands
Enda Mullen
An additional 250 parking spaces are set to be created at Tile Hill railway station as part of plans to boost park and ride facilities.
The plans are currently being put together by Transport for West Midlands (TfWM), with a planning application scheduled to be submitted this autumn.
The creation of additional spaces by TfWM (formerly Centro) aims to cope with increasing demand and reduce on-street parking in areas around the station.
In March 2016 CoventryLive reported on residents' concerns over parking chaos around the station.
People living in the area hit out at drivers who abandoned their cars in residential side streets, or on busy through roads, as they used the nearby station to travel to work.
Tile Hill train station
Lack of space
They said the issue was caused by a lack of space in the official station car park and claimed poorly parked cars also caused issues for emergency vehicles.
Residents' concerns have seen number of petitions about the parking problems submitted to Coventry City Council and meetings held with TfWM.
Speaking in 2016 Karen Sprouse, of Tile Hill Village Residents Group, said: "There's going to be an accident, it's inevitable.
"You have kids and the elderly crossing the road and there are no crossings by the station. It's only a matter of time until the worst happens."
In 2016 parking restrictions were introduced on some nearby roads - but residents said that just shifted the problem with issues on Duggins Lane, Curriers Close, Conway Avenue, Nailcote Avenue and Station Avenue.
What's the biggest issue where you live?
Increasingly busy
Tile Hill railway station has become increasingly busy as a park and ride commuter station over the years.
The originally car park catering for just 83 cars was expanding in 2011 to cope with increased demand.
It saw the creation of 240 additional car parking spaces to give a total of 323 parking spaces.
The latest proposal by TfWM will see the creation of an additional 250 spaces at the station.
Design is progressing
TfWM has said the detailed design of the car park and associated access arrangements is progressing.
Also that land acquisition requirements will be confirmed once the detailed design is finalised.
TfWM said it will continue to work in partnership with Coventry City Council on the project, including consultation at an appropriate time within the project timescales.
It said it is currently intended that a planning application for the scheme will be submitted in autumn 2018.

HomeIndustry SectorsBusiness and marketsSomalia and WB Group rebuild financial relations after 30 years
Industry SectorsBusiness and marketsFinance and PolicyGenerationTransmission and DistributionWaterRegional NewsEast AfricaNewsResourcesPress Releases
By Nicolette Pombo-van Zyl

After a 30 year absence, Somalia is set to reestablish financial relations with the World Bank Group, which will open up opportunities for this Horn of Africa county.
The World Bank Group Board of Executive Directors has moved toward normalising its relations with the Federal Government of Somalia (FGS) after thirty years.
This will open up opportunities for Somalia to access concessional financing from the World Bank's International Development Association (IDA) and to work closely with all arms of the World Bank Group to attract investment that will support the country's stability and development.
"Today's decision paves the way for full resumption of operations so the World Bank Group can provide the strongest possible support to Somalia's efforts toward economic and social recovery," said Axel van Trotsenburg, the World Bank's managing director of operations.
He added: "This milestone is the result of several years of close cooperation with the Federal Government, and we now look forward to taking our relationship to the next level with deeper and broader financial and technical support from across the Bank Group."
The normalisation of relations with the World Bank Group also paves the way for Somalia to receive debt relief under the Heavily Indebted Poor Country (HIPC) and Multilateral Debt Relief Initiative (MDRI) programmes to promote growth and recovery over the coming years.
Fiscal management in Somalia has a strong outlook
"Somalia has made important reforms and has demonstrated strong commitment to staying the course," said Hafez Ghanem, the vice president for Africa at the World Bank. "These reforms lay the foundation for sustained poverty reduction and better lives for the Somali people, and open the door to private sector investment that can create jobs and drive the economy forward."
The Board's decision to reengage is based on the government's strong record of fiscal, political, social and economic reforms in recent years. Somalia's fiscal management agenda now covers revenue mobilisation, budgeting, procurement, auditing, and cash management, as well as accountability over Public Financial Management.
The country has also focused strong attention to building core monetary and financial sector governance institutions, establishing the basic legal foundations for a market economy, and introducing reforms in strategic sectors including telecommunications, banking, and energy.
Economic policy reforms, such as the recently enacted Public Financial Management Law and the Company Law, have improved public financial management and revenue generation.
National development plan to drive private sector growth
Somalia's reforms continue to strengthen the government's capability to provide critically needed services in health and education to the Somali people, and build a framework for the competitive private sector that can create jobs, particularly for Somalia's youth. The federal government has facilitated consultations on a new National Development Plan, outlining the country's priorities so that investments can be made in the most critical areas.
"Today marks an important step towards full re-engagement of the World Bank Group in Somalia," said H.E.M. Abdirahman D. Beileh, Minister of Finance of the Federal Republic of Somalia.
The minister continued: "This is a recognition of the ambitious reforms to which this government remains committed, to bring transparency and accountability into Somali institutions and to revive the economy. We are grateful to the Bank for the support they have already provided to help the country reach this point and we look forward to planning a new phase of investments to deliver the poverty reduction goals of the National Development Plan."
On the path to attracting foreign direct investments
Today's decision by the World Bank Group Board of Executive Directors lays the groundwork for Somalia to access World Bank Group financing for federal and state government projects under the International Development Association (IDA), private sector debt and equity investments through the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and political risk insurance provided by the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA) to facilitate foreign direct investments.
The World Bank has played a strong role in helping Somalia reach this point, including through over $250 million in IDA Pre-Arrears Clearance Grants to accelerate the country's progress on key reforms and on delivering basic services and financial inclusion to its people.
The Somalia Multi Partner Fund, which includes funding from Denmark, the European Union, Finland, Italy, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States, has been crucial in laying the foundations to re-establish basic country systems.
New IDA financing proposals are under preparation and should be ready in the coming months, aimed at providing rapid response to households impacted by recent droughts and flooding, reducing poverty by delivering social protection to over 200,000 women with children under the age of five, improving education and healthcare, boosting water and electricity supply, and investing in other critical infrastructure projects.
With nearly 70% of Somalis living on less than $1.90 per day, these investments will help improve the lives of millions of the country's most vulnerable people and strengthen the systems needed for better livelihoods and a more stable future.

Caller-controller barge-in telephone service
Abstract: A caller-controlled barge-in telephone service, managed by telephone systems, intercepts telephone calls directed to instantly busy telephone lines predesignated as objects of this service, and: 1) verifies that the called line is a respectively predesignated object of this service and that the caller is entitled to invoke the service relative to that line; and 2) forms a bridging connection between the caller and parties to a telephone call instantly busying the called line. Verification that a caller is entitled to the service can be implemented by playing a voice announcement requesting the caller to speak or key in an authorization code. If the caller fails to respond or returns an invalid code, the caller is either disconnected or transferred to a voice mail service. Disconnection of the caller may be preceded by a voice announcement (e.g. a spoken "goodbye").

Selective reduction of video data using variable sampling rates based on importance within the image
Abstract: In a reduction process, data in portion buffers are selectively sampled at different sampling rates proportional to their assigned weights. For instance, portions assigned highest weights could be sampled at a reference rate corresponding to the repetition frequency of the originally received frames, portions assigned lowest weights could be sampled at {fraction (1/10)}th the reference rate, and portions assigned weights intermediate the lowest and highest ones could be sampled at rates less than the reference rate but more than {fraction (1/10)}th the reference rate. Accordingly, sampled portions assigned less than highest weights, but containing data representing objects in motion, could be subject to reproduction with less clarity than sampled portions assigned highest weight.
Inventors: James M. Dunn, Edith H. Stern, Barry E. Willner
Improving access to congested networks
Abstract: For a station in a data communication network having a predefined limit of congestion for handling data immediately undergoing transmission through the station, a system for improving service given to network users requesting new access services to support new transmissions through the same station while the predefined congestion limit is exceeded. This system contains: a first element for determining when the predefined limit is exceeded by existing data transmissions through the station; and a second element, responsive to requests for new access services that are received while the predefined limit is being exceeded for: concurrently processing the request for new service and reducing the quality of service (QoS) to selected users. The reductions in QoS generally have the effects of reducing the speed/priority of handling of data being transmitted to or from the selected users, and of freeing up of sufficient bandwidth to accommodate the requested new access services.

Extended telephone services via telephone lines shared for standard telephony and internet access
Abstract: The present invention affords a predefined class of authorized users of the PSTN (public switched telephone network) access to extended telephone services through public communication networks external to the PSTN, the latter networks including the web and Internet, in situations wherein the users have only a single telephone line that is shared for receiving both extended telephone services and standard telephone services, and wherein the extended services are deliverable while the shared line is connected to the external network. The shared line can be a line serving a residence or business establishment containing equipment for communicating through the external network(s) and equipment used in standard telephony (e.g. standard telephones, standard facsimile receivers, standard computer fax modems, etc.). The extended services can be activated automatically, by interaction between users and computer intelligence in the PSTN, without assistance from human representatives of the PSTN.
Web browser display indicator signaling that currently displayed web page needs to be reloaded
Abstract: Network browser applications are improved by providing visual status indications informing users that currently displayed pages are one of: old (outdated), partly old or new. Conventional browser applications load old or partly old page information from a cache and new information from a (usually remote) server to which the browser links via a network. A user expecting to view only new information (e.g. information that might be useless if out of date) is alerted by present status indications to request the browser to reload the entire page; which the user can do by operating a reload selector/icon conventionally presented by the browser. Various alternative status indications are shown, along with potential associations of such with a reload selector button (or equivalent icon).

Broadcast data radio system and receiver apparatus therefor
Abstract: A presently disclosed radio broadcasting system for a virtual radio program broadcasting station uses a divided regional approach to broadcast digital and analog signals over a large geographic region divided into multiple overlapping but separate areas constituting small portions of the region. The small areas are served by separate transmission sources/towers supplied from a common source central to the station. The system supports reuse of allocated transmission parameters within non-neighboring small areas in the region. The station is "virtual" because its central source need not be in any of the small areas, and because it uses different transmission parameters in neighboring small areas in a manner that previously would be used by plural different stations. System transmissions include information signals sent in both analog and digital forms.

Quality of service management for packet switched networks
Abstract: A packet router for a data packet transmission network, wherein routers offer priority services of the type required for isochronous handling of data representing real-time voice, includes a Quality of Service (QoS) management system for ensuring that guarantees associated with such priority service can be met with a high degree of certainty. This management system provides prioritized queues including a highest priority queue supporting reservations for the priority service suited to isochronous handling. The highest priority queue and other queues are closely monitored by a QoS manager element for states of near congestion and critical congestion. While neither state exists, filler packet flows are promoted from lower priority queues to the highest priority queue, in order to keep the latter queue optimally utilized. If all lower priority queues are empty at such times, dummy packets are inserted as filler flows.
Inventors: Colin George Harrison, Edith Helen Stern, Barry Edward Willner
Telephony fraud detection using voice recognition techniques
Abstract: A system/method is disclosed for screening telephone system callers, using speaker-dependent text-independent voice recognition, to either prevent excessive fraudulent use of certain telephone system lines (or radio channels) or to selectively restrict classes of service allowed for different users of a common line. The voice recognition process is configured to provide an extent of mismatch indication, between a voice sample taken from a caller immediately using the protected line (or channel) and a recorded reference voice sample, which indication corresponds to the probability that the instant caller is not the same as the person who provided the reference sample. The extent of mismatch indication is compared to a mismatch limit value which can be set to a different magnitude for each call. Different actions are taken depending upon whether the extent of mismatch indication is or is not larger than the limit value.

Display accessory for a record playback system
Abstract: A record playback system includes a display showing elapsed time of a record playback operation together with symbols indicating occurrences of certain sequences of sound during the playback operation, the symbols positioned to indicate times at which respective sequences of sounds occur. In a preferred application, the records reproduced in the system are audible voice-mail messages, the specific sequences of sounds are numbers or sets of numbers spoken consecutively during the message, and the symbols representing such numbers are printed characters corresponding to respective numbers. In the preferred application, the messages are centrally recorded at a server of a computer network and distributed to individual client computers via the network.
Inventors: James M. Dunn, Edith Helen Stern
Outside access to computer resources through a firewall
Abstract: A firewall isolates computer and network resources inside the firewall from networks, computers and computer applications outside the firewall. Typically, the inside resources could be privately owned databases and local area networks (LAN's), and outside objects could include individuals and computer applications operating through public communication networks such as the Internet. Usually, a firewall allows for an inside user or object to originate connection to an outside object or network, but does not allow for connections to be generated in the reverse direction; i.e. from outside in. The disclosed invention provides a special "tunneling" mechanism, operating on both sides of a firewall, for establishing such "outside in" connections when they are requested by certain "trusted" individuals or objects or applications outside the firewall.
Inventors: Prashanth Jade, Victor Stuart Moore, Arun Mohan Rao, Glen Robert Walters
Selective fax routing through the internet
Abstract: A newly defined facsimile (fax) handling service, to be performed by carriers in the public switched telephone network (PSTN) on calls originating from standard analog fax sending equipment, includes: a) intercepting and recording direct dialed digits, representing final destinations of such calls, at PSTN switching nodes in areas local to respective call origins; b) returning acknowledgements from these nodes to respective callers in the form of fax tones corresponding to those usually returned by standard analog fax receiving equipment; c) locally intercepting and recording signals representing the fax image information intended for delivery to the called destinations; d) returning a completion signal indication to the originating equipment; and e) offline to the originating equipment, managing the delivery of the recorded image information to the final destinations represented by the recorded call digits.
Inventors: Arnold H. Bramnick, James M. Dunn
Multi service platform architecture for telephone networks
Abstract: A multiprocessor subsystem, for a portion of the public switched telephone network (PSTN) conforming to architectural standards for advanced intelligent networks (AIN), contains processor elements for participating in management of call routing/switching processes, and other processor elements for participating in management of services provided to PSTN users and subscribers. The processors participating in call routing processes are tightly concentrated to ensure reliable control of respective processes, while the processors participating in management of user services are distributed so as to allow for virtually unlimited growth in new type services without potentially disrupting existing call traffic. This subsystem also contains processor elements having interfaces to networks external to the PSTN; e.g. data networks such as the Internet and World Wide Web, and pager networks.
Inventors: Deborah Lynn Acker, Thomas Edward Creamer
Integrated telephony and data services over cable networks
Abstract: A newly developed computer adapter and call routing system allow for cable television networks (or other broadband networks) to offer digital telephony services seamlessly; i.e. in a manner such that a user receiving the service is unaware of any difference between that service and comparable telephone services presently supported by the public switched telephone network (PSTN). The adapter attaches to a computer, one or more telephones, the PSTN, and the broadband network. During utility power outages, switch circuitry in the adapter connects attached devices directly to lines in the PSTN, so that existing power support functions of the PSTN are fully utilizable. At other times, the adapter conditionally routes outgoing telephone calls from the attached devices to either the PSTN or cable network. Conditions determining the routing of outgoing calls can be set by users and also determined automatically (e.g. as logical functions of called numbers).

Fireplaces are great additions to any home. Not only do they add warmth during the colder months, but they also provide a comfortable ambiance that everyone can enjoy. If you're considering a new fireplace, you'll need to choose between wood-burning and gas varieties. Which is the right one for your home?
Many homeowners opt to add a fireplace simply because they want a more energy-efficient way to warm their home. While both wood and gas fireplaces offer a decent source of heat, gas is the true winner when it comes to energy efficiency.
Much of the heat created by a wood fireplace gets lost through poor insulation. It's not uncommon to feel a draft of cold air enter through the chimney. On the other hand, gas fireplaces retain much more heat. Only a small amount of heat is lost with gas logs.
If you want a fireplace simply for the ambiance it creates, then a wood fireplace may be the best option. There's nothing more enjoyable and relaxing than the crackling sound of wood logs burning. Even the smell of burning wood adds to the overall effect of a wood fireplace.
Homeowners can still enjoy the flickering of a flame with a gas fireplace, but they will miss out on the sound effects and aromas that come with wood. Make sure you won't miss the ambiance of wood before deciding on a gas fireplace.
Cleaning a wood fireplace takes a lot of care. Some people really enjoy the process. When burning logs, it's important to rotate the logs and add kindling at regular intervals. This will ensure the wood burns evenly. After burning, the ashes need to be fully cleaned out.
Gas fireplaces don't require as much hands-on maintenance. An annual inspection is recommended to ensure the vent is properly functioning. It's also important to regularly check for leaks. Gas logs burn cleanly, so there's no ash to clean. However, soot should be wiped away promptly to avoid accumulation.
If you're ready to install a fireplace in your home, be sure to weigh the pros and cons of both wood and gas fireplaces. The right choice will provide you with years of heat and enjoyment. Be sure to click here for more info about the different fireplaces available.

It was originally called Tonight We Dance.

Plot

Problem 1 is that the money actually belonged to a blackmailing hood named Steve Crawford (William Wright).  Problem 2 is when the police start asking uncomfortable questions about why the marked money they hoped to trap Crawford with, is now in the possession of Martin and Conners.

For some years now our small team of lighting designers and lighting production managers have brought a vast array of events to life.
Working in tandem with our Project Managers and our clients we set out to compliment and enhance the venue, the design and to achieve the right ambience for the event.
We began by using simple uplighting, with par cans, and downlighting with birdies and pinspots. Complimentary items, such as haze and smoke machines, added a totally new dynamism to each styling.
As technology evolved, so did we. Intelligent lights allowed us to create exciting and vibrant environments, whilst LED technology brought a whole new aspect to our designs. Wireless control and battery uplighting became a revelation and we invested heavily in both these technologies, meaning greater safetly and, of course, less cables.
There are some things that haven't changed however, and that is our ethos: To achieve what is right for the event and our clients, to keep afresh with new technology, to fulfill our creative potential, and to enjoy ourselves.

Art of Aging: Affordable water repair solutions for homeowners
<iframe width="476" height="267" src="https://6abc.com/video/embed/?pid=5626186" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Art of Aging: Affordable water repair solutions for homeowners - Tamala Edwards reports during Action News at noon on October 17, 2019.
PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- When retiree Lucille Jaisle found a leak in her basement, she had a protection plan, but was concerned the problem was too small to be covered.
"I called and sure enough it was covered," she said.
She says once she placed the call, American Water Resources handled the rest.
"The appointment was set up as I was on the phone with the claimer making the claim," she said.
"We are here to make sure that our customer gets the timely, and proper restoration as soon as possible. We try to be on site between four, within four hours and we try to take care of the problem within 10 days," said Tyrone Smith, Network Contract Manager for American Water Resources.

In Lucille's case, the leak was fixed the next day.
"They shut the water off at the curb stop, came in, removed the old valve..." said Smith.
"And they repaired it with a brand new handle that's easier to use," Lucille added.
American Water Resources offers low cost protection plans that cover repairs both large and small, which is particularly important for seniors on a fixed income.

'Everyone assumes that the water department covers anything outside the house, but that's not true. You own the water line from inside your house to the water main," said Smith.
The plans are available across the tri-state region.
"We offer external piping which cc covers your water main and your sewer main. We offer in-home, which covers your inside plumbing and heating," said Smith.
For Lucille, knowing she's protected brings peace of mind.
"Just that everybody should make sure they have some kind of a water protection because you never know. And I'm glad I did, it's well worth it," she said.

IN SEARCH OF FATHERHOOD(R) facilitates a Global Dialogue on Fatherhood and Men's Issues which explores and addresses key challenges -- mental and physical health, real-life options, poverty, hunger, homelessness, Fatherlessness, parental alienation, mass incarceration, religious and ethnic intolerance -- which prevent Men and Boys from living healthier, purpose-driven, and longer lives.
On this day, the thoughts of the United States International Men's Day Team are on the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Had he lived, Thought Leader, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, and American Civil Rights Leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. would have celebrated his 90th birthday today – Tuesday, 15 January 2019. Assassinated on Thursday, 4 April 1968 in Memphis, Tennessee at the age of 39, during his brief existence on this space and place we know as Planet Earth, Dr. King inspired souls in the United States and nations around the world to transcend boundaries. He reminded us of the obligation that was imbued upon each of us at the time we emerged from the womb -- the obligation to transcend and transform the environment we were born into as he provided powerful life lessons about "unarmed truth", "the power of love", "connectedness", "faith" , "creating uncertainty in an uncertain world", and "breaking one's silence in the midst of injustice".
Every time I take a flight I am always mindful of the many people who make a successful journey possible -- the known pilots and the unknown ground crew.
IN SEARCH OF FATHERHOOD(R) resurrects the vision and perpetuates the legacy of the late L.T. Henry who saw the need for an Interactive Forum for Fathers which would help them address their unique parenting needs. During his lifetime, Mr. Henry was an author, photojournalist, sales and success motivation trainer, and a classically trained jazz musician who performed briefly with The Philadelphia Orchestra and was the former drummer for internationally acclaimed songstress and film and television actress Ms. Della Reese. The perpetuation of Mr. Henry's legacy and contributions to the Global Fatherhood Movement also takes the form of a book -- IN SEARCH OF FATHERHOOD(R)--TRANSCENDING BOUNDARIES, edited and authored by D.A.Sears, United States Coordinator - International Men's Day; Chair, USA 2012-2022 International Men's Day Ten Year Plan Committee; member, International Men's Day Coordination Committee; member of the University Council on Fatherhood and Men's Studies Program at Akamai University in Hilo, Hawaii; and member of The Boys Initiative National Affinity Network headquartered in Washington, D.C.

Debate: Worthiness of Love and Depression
123 Last
Thread: Debate: Worthiness of Love and Depression
Peter Deadpan
Can't be satisfied.
So I've been thinking about this a lot lately, and I think I'd like to write an article about it, but it helps me to hear other people's perspectives first and bounce ideas off of one another.
How do you feel/what do you think when you hear the following claims about love, ***specifically in relation to those dealing with depression:
"Love yourself before loving another."
"Love when you're ready, not when you're lonely."
"No one is going to love you if you don't love yourself."
"Learn how to be alone and like it."
Etc., etc., etc....
A Facebook friend posted the following quote today: "Your relationship with yourself sets the tone for every other relationship you have."
This was my response:
" I understand the message, but lately I've been thinking about the ramifications these claims have on people with depression.
'You can't love someone until you love yourself.'
'Learn to be happy alone.'
Etc., Etc....
While there is certainly truth to these statements, it's simply not that easy for depressed individuals to consistently manifest these thoughts and feelings. They too deserve to be loved. As long as you've worked through any destructive behavior and you're mature enough to treat a potential lover with respect while respecting your own boundaries, then I say you are free to pursue a relationship, preferably with someone who acknowledges and accepts your depression and is willing to do their best to stand next to you when things get a little tough."
Depression is a sneaky bitch. It comes and it goes and then it comes back again just when you're thinking "oh hey... I think I finally beat this, I've been feeling pretty good for months." It lies to you, and for awhile you believe it. That's why it hurts so fucking bad. Does this mean that you are a failure who doesn't deserve love? My answer is a firm "NO." Some people are inherently more depressed when they are single. Depression also tends to come with a generous portion of guilt and shame. Reinforcing the belief that you are unworthy of love if if you cannot master happiness alone offers little more than a catalyst for darkness for those who suffer from depression.
Love is not a feeling. Sure, plenty of feelings accompany love, but the wisest amongst us have realized that love is an act; a decision you make repeatedly to your best abilities, even in the face of challenge. It is choosing another person everyday, so long as boundaries are not being crossed in a disrespectful manner. Love is understanding, forgiveness, and holding space for another you care about deeply.
Here is another personal definition of love I posted to my Facebook page not long ago:
"You can be broken, with bits of you falling away as you move through this world. When you find someone else, they can be broken too. Together, you can look at the debris behind and around both of you, acknowledging it and proclaiming 'I see your missing pieces and I still love you.' What you CANNOT do, under ANY circumstances, is pick up any fallen pieces of you or your lover and throw it at them. It doesn't matter who originally owned the piece you picked up; you're the one who used it as a weapon. That is not love. That is seeing a void and wanting to use pain to magnify it, and it is fucked up. It's also human, so add it to the rest of the debris and move on.
If you can do this, and you've found someone you really like who can do this, then congratulations; you've found love."
Let the discussion begin...

I think it would be better to say "Be at peace with yourself before loving another." I think that truly loving oneself is narcissism and a bit weird.
You should be ready before you do anything. That goes without saying. Anyway, I think that loneliness is a perfectly good reason to seek out company, including company of a romantic kind. Loneliness is your mind's way of suggesting that you go out and form connections with good people, and why shouldn't you do that? Cutting yourself off from romantic or other types of relationships isn't doing you any favors. Do I think a lonely person is ready for a relationship? Yes, if their loneliness is just plain loneliness. If it includes a desire to cling to people, then, of course, the person may not be ready for a romantic relationship.
Self-loathers are generally less attractive than people who are comfortable with themselves. They tend to advertise themselves as undesirable and send off vibes that say "I'm unworthy of your company." Both are fairly effective ways to keep people away. I think, though, that going so far as to say that no one is going to love you if you don't love yourself is an exaggeration. There are plenty of people who are undeterred or even attracted by psychological issues.
I don't see how enjoying being alone prepares someone for a relationship. When you're with someone, enjoying being alone is really not an asset anymore because the conditions for it are gone. For more general purposes, I do think it's good to be capable of enjoying being alone, just as it's good to be capable of enjoying most things in life.

Is it love if it's undemonstrative? Not reciprocated in terms of 2 people mutually saying "I accept you even when you fuck up a little or are a bit insufferable." The feeling fades. Then it returns. Then it fades again. It takes real effort to remember why you love someone when that rollercoaster hits a temporary dip. It happens in all long-term relationships. Sometimes it's nothing overtly "bad," it might just be a lack of sparks or connection that needs to be rekindled a bit.

What you're describing here IS self-love, it is self-understanding, tolerance and patience for the whole of the person that you are with or without depression. So I think you're on the right track to both having a quality relationship with yourself, and a potential significant other who understands your depression. When you yourself no longer have any residual doubts about your depression's ability to impede your own personal ability or deservingness to give or receive love from someone else, you will no longer be bothered by people sharing advice on this particular subject.

Can someone who is completely paralyzed love? Of course, even though they wouldn't be able to demonstrate their love.

Yes, and I think that's how love is. It's very romantic to think of it as being eternal, but I don't think that's realistic. Love is more like sunlight; it comes and goes as the weather sees fit.

Fair warning, this strikes a nerve for me, and I'm practically just writing my own OP (although I did read the actual OP).
The statement "you cannot loves others until you love yourself", and all of its paraphrasings, is one of the worst aphorisms I've ever known. Among my all time most hated, probably along with just world hypotheses and maybe a few others I'm not thinking of right now.
1: It makes no sense.
2: It is more harmful than helpful.
Let's break both of those down.
The statement does not explain itself. You are supposed to just accept that it's true. But why? I cannot seem to connect A to B here. Loving others requires me to love myself because...? It is patently obvious that an individual's relationship with others, of any kind, whether it be feelings, or actions, or whatever, is not necessarily a mirror of their relationship to themselves. Hell, it probably usually isn't. I would think you only have to do cursory analysis of anyone else's relationships, or the history of your own, to know this is true. If it's not generally true, then some kind of reasoning must be given specific to love. Why does love always match one's attitude toward the self? If love if is a feeling, I don't see why that would hold. I'm pretty sure I've loved other people more than I've loved myself... hell, I'm pretty sure I've loved cats more than I love myself. Am I supposed to just take the word of someone who's never been in my head that I don't feel what I'm fairly confident I felt? Fuck that. There's no reason to give their word more credibility, and there is still no logical explanation here.
What if it's not a feeling but an action or a system of actions? That holds even less water because it's more demonstrably false. People constantly do for others what they do not do for themselves. It's practically the definition of being a parent. And if what we're boiling love down to actions, my idea of a loving action is a giving one, which is basically directed away from the ego by definition. If your idea of love is defined in terms of actions, and you think you have to love yourself to love other people, that basically means you'd never give anyone 5 bucks unless you first made sure you got 5 bucks and balanced out the loss. That sounds more like being a selfish prick than loving other people, to me. In other words, this would make you less loving toward other people.
So back to square one. Which part of loving other people operationally depends on some part of loving myself to already be in place?
If put into practice, this formulation is almost perfectly designed to make people do the wrong thing.
First of all, it only hurts people who have low self-esteem. I think this is the main thing to OP is getting at. Suppose someone isn't feeling good about themselves, and you tell them that they are incapable of engaging in one of the most meaningful parts of life and something that tends to be deemed fundamentally good and even a measure of a what good person is. How is that supposed to work? You're basically going up to someone with a low self-esteem, and telling them, "hey, because of your low self-esteem, you're going to miss one of the most important parts of life, and you're a broken, kind of shitty person" You've just given them another reason to feel bad about themselves, and if you've made a death spiral, because you just told them to feel bad about feeling bad about themselves. Furthermore, that statement is entirely disempowering. It tells them what they can't do, doesn't tell them anything they can do. Which is the second thing.
This statement is devoid of useful suggestions. It's all about detailing how your affliction will ruin you, and nothing about how to treat the affliction. If a person has self-esteem problems, it's a pretty safe guess they aren't sure how to develop self-esteem. Perhaps you should try telling them how to do that, instead of idiotically telling they might want to do that. No shit. It's like saying "I really think you should stop being sick". I find most people who like to throw this wisdom around are kind of dry wells when it comes to suggestions for how to actually deal with low self-esteem itself, rendering them virtually useless.
So if you're keeping track, what we're doing so far, is telling a person who feels bad about themselves that feeling bad about themselves gives them even more reason to feel bad about themselves, though we cannot explain why, and we have no suggestions about how they should actually stop feeling bad about themselves.
Unfortunately that's all. It's also harmful in an entirely separate way. That's because this notion has a corollary (though, technically, not a logically necessary one, just an intuitive one apparently). The corollary is that, if someone is unloving, even hateful, it means they don't love themselves. And that means, getting someone to love themselves might be a solution to making them more loving. And this is a terrible, terrible idea. In the final sense, it basically means you should give emotional support to sociopaths. See someone being a dick? Make them feel good about themselves. This is what lead to the ludicrous, fuck-up of an idea that if you just automatically try inject everyone with self-esteem preemptively, you'll cut down failure and abuse. Start with kids, they'll get good grades and stop bullying. But it's never worked. And it's probably made everything worse.
The idea can also be self-servingly abused firsthand. If I have to love myself before I can love anyone else, then you're all on the back burner until I love myself. When will that be? As I've pointed out, nobody knows. It's not an operational idea. So, you can't tell me I'm wrong if I state that I'm still striving toward loving myself for an indefinite period of time. It could take the rest of my life. Fuck you, I can't love you yet, I'm still working on loving myself.
I'm almost done here, but let me just preempt some of the defense of the aphorism. There's a typical way I see it defended. That is to redefine love, and then re-redefine love, and then re-re-redefine love, etc.. until it has no meaning at all, and thus can mean anything you want it to mean, and the statement becomes unassailable. Unfortunately it also makes it useless in its meaninglessness. If this thread picks up steam and starts an argument, I'll be damned if that doesn't happen.
Also, if you've known people with low self-esteem, and you've told them this, and they don't like it, perhaps that's a clue that this isn't very good advice. You should take feedback from people you're trying to help. if you're really trying to help them. I often get the sense that people are far more invested in defending this idea or themselves for saying it than they are in helping in anyone. Like, for some reason I can't perceive, this is for them much more than it's for any of the unhappy people they are saying it to.
Okay. I could probably spend all day adding more and more criticism onto this, but I think I got the urge out of my system. I guess I'll wind it down with this last thought.
Chronically low self-esteem is exhausting. It's really exhausting to try helping someone with that problem, I'm aware of that from both sides of the relationship. So when it comes to counseling a person with low self-esteem, ask yourself these questions before you say or do anything.
Do I really want to do this?
Am I cutout for doing this effectively?
Can I afford to bother with doing this?
If the answer to any of those is no, just don't try to help. You and the person with the self-esteem problems will be better for it.
EDIT: Given the speed at which I typed this, it probably has more errors than I feel like dealing with right now. Sorry.

I believe that when one believes oneself to be unworthy of love (rightly or not), they can love another, but they cannot accept the love of others. This is so because it is painful to experience undeserved pleasure, just as it may be pleasurable in a sense to punish the self.
The remedy is not to be found in learning to "love oneself", but rather in becoming someone who is worthy of love. Love must be earned, and there are many people who are unworthy of love.
This is not to say that people should engage in self-flagellation. Self-overcoming is good, but one must accept oneself and hold it to reasonable expectations.

Love is many times not earned, and yet given, even or especially in a romantic sense. This however does not negate the importance of continual self-overcoming as you noted, as well, to maximize the love that one is able to both give and receive from oneself and others. Learning to love oneself can be simply understood as becoming self-aware and affirming in a positive sense of one's own relation to the objectivity of others and reality itself.
