I am nibbling on leftovers from last night's farewell Braai as I ponder my month spent mostly in the Garden Route of South Africa. In the Western Cape, I interviewed game drive rangers, took a few walks to remote waterfalls, fed African elephants, and went scuba diving with seals and sharks. I can say with certainty that it has been one of the best months of my life in terms of work and play. I have witnessed the beauty of Africa's diverse flora and fauna and felt the passion from conservationists working tirelessly to protect the country's biodiversity. During my time here, Africa Media has helped me to spotlight South Africa's natural beauty through my writing. I really cannot recommend this program enough in terms of its opportunities for exploration and publication. If you are looking for adventure and passionately love travel and the world, I highly suggest Africa Media's environmental journalism internship in Mossel Bay.
I've never met more passionate and amazing people like Fiona and Ryan! Their programmes are amazing and even 3 years later I still rave about my time there. There's no better programme in my eyes and it truly is one of the most amazing things you'll ever do!
The Environmental Journalism & Travel Writing Internship was beyond what I could have imagined what it would be. Working alongside Cassie and a field expert I was exposed to a wide variety of topics to write about and learned how to compose articles ready to be published in magazines. Adventures in hiking through South Africa's numerous trails, cage diving with sharks and exploring the local towns and mingling with the people who inhabit them. I got a chance to live, breath and understand my surroundings and how to portray them in the journalism medium. I would recommend this program to anyone who wants to further their writing skills and travel to a place that is nothing like they have seen before.
You may not know how to put it into exact words but you will remember it. It gives me a sense of pride, accomplishment and (dare I say) love as I ease it to the forefront of my memory.
If you are at all like I was, Africa Media sounds too good to be true as you peruse the site for the first (or tenth) time. I can't condense the discoveries I made during my two months in the journalism and photography internships into anything short of a novel. My long-story-made-short is like a lucid dream, deep yet immediate.
Africa media validated my passion for media and conservation. That's the simple part. Professional fieldwork challenged me, sometimes frustratingly so. I wouldn't have that part any other way. The appreciation I accrued for the animal kingdom, humans included, was immense. The lot at Africa Media was the most original, enthusiastic and daring I have known. We worked hard, played hard, and often the two were indecipherable.
I can't predict everyone you'll meet on the Garden Route. But you will remember them and probably stay in touch with the special few. You will remember the exhilaration, awe and attentive calm of seeing a great white shark for the first time. You will remember the "f-yeah!" of truly capturing the subject after one hundred clicks. You will remember the nervous authenticity of your first interview: the tingling in your fingertips when you put it into an article. You will retell the countless adventures in-between.
I've realized that every time I travel to an unfamiliar location, my perspective of the world warps and changes. Africa, the Underwater Photography Internship led by Fiona Ayerst with the help of Shalini Tewari and Martin Totland, all of the people I've encountered on this internship, and just scuba diving in general has changed every previous plan I had lined up in my life. I soon began to realize that scuba diving isn't just a sport– it's a lifestyle. Follow my Blog and see my new life!
I was not sure entirely what to expect when I first went to South Africa for my photography internship in July 2012. The description mentioned great whites – of which I had a particular phobia at the time – so I was quite nervous about what it would entail. In the two months I spent there, I not only overcame my fear to cage dive with great whites, I also had the opportunity to interact with elephants and cheetahs; see most of the big five on game drives and horse safaris; and photograph more different kinds of wildlife than I'd ever seen in my life! I then returned for three months as a field specialist in 2013 to assist in teaching and running the program. These have been amazing experiences, and I honestly did learn from from the internship and teaching than I ever did in a class at University.
I was a wildlife & Adventure Photography intern during this past March and April (2013) months, during which my passion for wildlife and adventure photography truly flourished. Unlike most standard 8-5 desk job internships, we spent much of our days out on an African safari, surrounded by beautiful wonders, photographing the 'big-5' at "Work!". What more could you possibly ask for?
Being thrown into such a dynamic environment, my creative success as a photographer was only bound by the limitations of my own imagination. Of course, we did spend hours in the media studio learning about practical things such a lightroom, wordpress, web design, SEO optimisation and the like, but I am just as thankful for gaining that knowledge as well. Africa Media understands that becoming a successful photographer requires not only having a captivating, diverse portfolio, but also a keen business and marketing sense.
Without having basic knowledge of how to project my work to prospective clients, I would not be able to continue to do what I love! That being said, my time with Africa Media far exceeded my expectations I walked away with some of my best photographic work to date, a renewed passion for photography and adventure, a honed skill set across multiple digital platforms, and new business savvy. All in all, this photography internship with Africa Media is truly a unique and special opportunity that you will not regret.
The beginning of my journey, flying solo to Mossel Bay from Australia, was nerve-wrecking to say the least. Luckily, from the moment I touched down in Africa, I knew I was set for an amazing month.
We experienced everything under the African sun at Africa Media. The Wildlife and Travel photography internship not only exposed me to Africa's amazing Big 5, Great White sharks, walking with elephants and playing with Cheetahs, I was also able to expand my knowledge into the business side of photography and networking with companies.
I began my journey to Mossel bay with high hopes and left with some of the best experiences, friendships and memories that will last a life time.
I throughly enjoyed my internship with Africa Media. It gave me more confidence in my filmmaking abilities, so many awesome memories, and friends that will last a lifetime. Getting to spend 10 days in the African bush just filming wildlife was one of the best experiences of my life. The things we saw and captured on film are things people only dream of. The course leader and the field specialist were especially helpful in making my experience enjoyable and teaching me loads of new things about filmmaking. I am forever grateful for my time with Africa Media and I hold all my memories from that month near and dear to my heart.
I was even honoured to spend time in the Great Karoo which is a large wildlife sanctuary split into 3 private reserves; Samara, Mount Camdeboo and Asante Santa. In my mind "I was John Varty for a month", I will never forget the moment the bakkie was hit by a rhino while in the Karoo. I have never met someone as amazing as Annie; I hear she was nicknamed "Motheroo" by previous interns thanks to her good cooking. Aspiring wildlife filmmakers, aim your sights at Africa Media!
Loved loved LOVED every second I spent with Africa Media! I was blessed with an incredible group of people, one that I consider family forever, and learned about the South African culture, from braais to the language, to the people. Highly recommend the underwater photography course to ANYONE interested in spending a month diving with a camera in hand to capture all the magnificent creatures Africa has to offer.
I participated in the Wildlife and adventure photography internship during June this year (2014) with Africa Media, and can honestly say I had the best experience of my life. With apprehension and fear before and during my first arrival, Oceans staff helped me settle in and feel right at home.
I can honestly say my knowledge and photography skills have developed in ways I have never imagined; I left Africa a more advanced photographer with a colorful portfolio and a renewed passion for photography and adventure, not to mention unforgettable memories and friends from all over the world. I would recommend this trip of a lifetime to anyone with a passion for wildlife photography. I gained more vital knowledge within this course to my future progression than my current BA degree, and this is an opportunity not to be missed. Thanks Oceans Campus for developing my skills as a professional and changing my perspective as a whole.
My name is Ryan and I study Zoology with Herpetology at Bangor University in North Wales in the UK. I love studying the natural world and finding out its secrets. I have known for a long time that I wanted to go into wildlife filmmaking.
I remember working one night on a report for university and while I went on a five-minute break I was on Facebook and I noticed an advertisement from Africa Media. I clicked on the link and started looking on the website. I spent about 20 minutes looking through everything, and I immediately sent an email saying, "I would love to come and learn wildlife filmmaking, how do I apply". Within a few months I was packing my bags to go South Africa to fulfil my dream.
I had the honour of meeting two people who were going to be the driving force behind my film; the first was Annie, who was a previous intern and now works at Africa Media, and the other was Ryan Johnson (world Great white shark expert, documentary filmmaker and producer). They both taught me so much, and I cannot thank them enough for their kindness.
The highlight of my time there was when we travelled to Scotia private Game reserve for 10 days of pure filming and living in the bush at the mercy of nature. Apart from the filming, I made friends and connection there that will stick with me for life. I have made friends from all over the world, from India, to America and everywhere else in-between. Africa Media started my career of and whatever success comes my way, it has all been down to them. The incredible journey I have been on with them was beautiful and I hope one day to go back for another month.
My internships was by far one of the most amazing experiences I was fortunate to come across through my career. Coming from a traditional filmmaking background, having studied film directing for 4 years, I was hoping to expose myself to more of a specialized insight into the wildlife filmmaking industry focusing mainly on practical and field knowledge and that was exactly what I got. Having the core of the course structure revolving around the process of making a short wildlife documentary from scratch assured that each participant will have a fully-hatched product to showcase as soon as he/she finishes the course. The only thing I kind of missed was the mentorship and guidance necessary for taking future steps, which I hope It's been already taken notice of, and going to change soon. I'm so happy that I was able to gain full confidence in my ability to fulfill my dream of becoming a wildlife filmmaker, and that wouldn't have been achieved without the great help from Ryan, Dan and whole team of Africa Media. Thanks a lot and I hope we'll stay in touch.

Q: How to validate, store and execute user rules? In my application:

*

*there are users.

*emails come in to the system.

*users can use a web browser to define filter rules for their inbound emails.

Filter rules are of the general form "if field operator value/regex then do action X with parameter Y"
I need to:

*

*validate the user rules (which will be created by the user with
an HTML page of dropdowns and text fields)

*store the user rules in some appropriate format (maybe as Python
source?)

*execute the rules within my Python processing script.

My question is:
is this is a "solved problem"? I want to avoid reinventing the wheel and it sure seems like this or something conceptually very similar must have been done before.  Maybe there's even some sort of open source library or application that already does it.
If it is not a solved problem, can anyone suggest an effective way to validate, store and execute the rules? I'm guessing somehow it makes sense for the rules to be Python statements but I sure as hell don't want to write a language syntax parser.
UPDATE: Although the users will be very technical/likely developers, I still want the entry of rules to be tightly constrained to the general form specified above.  very similar to the email rules you probably have in your email client right now. For example "if subject contains "subscribe" then send reply email to fromaddress"
UPDATE 2: The filtering rules will not only be on the email fields but also on other non email stuff, for example, the content of an attachment, or evaluation of a custom field that relates to the email but is not part of the email, generated by my system.
Any input valued.
I'm using Python 3.

What if you were told that your reality is a hallucination? Most people would laugh it off, you can touch and pick up objects you can do everything. I believe my question would resonate better with people more familiar with Eastern philosophy.
Eastern scriptures have put forth the concept that this world is "maya" an illusion where things appear to be present but are not what they seem. Something which basically boils down to our consciousness being tricked into believing what we see, taste or smell is real.
This TED talk divulges into the depths of our human nature and how we as a species use our brains to understand what is outside us like our environment and how we experience our reality by our experiences and perspectives or in other words our conditioning.
I must warn you that this video is a bit heavy as it will make you question your pre-conditioned beliefs.
Research such as this adds support to the fact that we create our reality. If you pay attention to how our brain processes information using the best guess system, it always becomes equally important about the information we feed our head.

Qatar unveils World Cup's 1st reusable stadium
Gulf Times
in Infrastructure
The Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy (SC), the organisation responsible for delivering the infrastructure required to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, unveiled yesterday the seventh stadium design – Ras Abu Aboud Stadium – in an online digital media campaign.
The first ever demountable and reusable FIFA World Cup stadium is to host matches up to the quarterfinal stages in 2022. The venue champions a bold and pioneering design concept based on shipping containers, removable seats and other steel modular building blocks that will come together to form an elegant curved square form venue.
It was envisioned by Spanish architecture firm Fenwick Iribarren Architects (FI-A), who are leaders in football stadium design and are behind some of the boldest venue designs in the region and the world including Qatar Foundation stadium, the Casablanca Football Stadium in Morocco, Valencia CF's new football stadium in Spain, the new Norwegian National Stadium in Norway, and more.
In a first in the history of the FIFA World Cup, the stadium will be completely modular and get dismantled after the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Its building blocks will be repurposed post tournament and reused for the construction of several sporting or non-sporting venues across Qatar, helping widen access to cultural and sporting events across the country and supporting the fulfilment of the SC's mission to ensure the tournament leaves a lasting legacy for the local community.

Hi Adrian welcome to the Forum, you have quite a fleet of 7s now, so spares should not be a problem for you. We love to see pictures so as many as possible would be great. A register of all known FBs in UK is kept by one of our members so it would be useful for the Reg Nos of the cars so there status can be recorded (for forum purposes only). There is a wealth of knowledge held by members & in print on the Forum , so any problem has been encountered before. What part of the country are you?
Welcome to the forum, good luck with the projects, sounds like you'll have one nice motor once all the best bits come together.
Yes, Welcome on here, some pics please.
Sounds like you are a glutton for punishment, like the rest of us.
Hi Adrian, welcome to the forum, sounds like youve got your hands full there.
Am I reading your post correctly ? Do you have a 13b with elford turbo fitted ? I'd be interested to know about that.


This has always been one of the most easiest and favourite curries at home. Frozen mixed vegetables can be used to make it a faster process.
In a pan, put some oil and saute the chopped onions and add cubed tomatoes. After the tomatoes are cooked, grind the mixture into a fine paste upon cooling.
In a pan, pour some oil and add cloves, cinnamon, cloves and cardamom. After they are fried well, add ginger-garlic paste and then the onion-tomato paste.
Mix in dhania-jeera powder, turmeric and green chillies. Let this mixture simmer for a while, until the oil oozes out.
Separately boil the veggies and add them to the simmering gravy. Add salt as per taste and cover with a lid and let all the flavors blend for about 5 min.
The end result is a lip-smacking curry which goes well with roti or rice.


This is one of the hard-hitting conclusions in a new International Monetary Fund (IMF) working paper, "Struggling to Make the Grade: A Review of the Causes and Consequences of the Weak Outcomes of SA's Education System".
Unfortunately, political economy considerations usually favour input-based policy measures, the authors say, because they are visible and can be more easily "captured" by politicians, "who love ribbon-cutting".
The authors argue that while providing free university tuition should improve enrolment and attendance, the payoff "is likely to be limited at best and wasteful at worst" unless SA addresses the weak foundations at primary and secondary school — which result in more than a quarter of university and college students dropping out in their first year.
"This is not to say that there are not many academically qualified but poor students in tertiary education who deserve help; no doubt this is crucial for this segment of the population. But a large proportion of the tertiary education population come from middle-class and well-off households. They can largely afford the fees outright, or they can repay the loans after getting their degrees," says Mlachila.
On average, an SA teacher misses 11% of teaching time due to absenteeism, according to the paper. Roughly 20% of teachers are absent on Mondays and Fridays, and 33% are absent at month-end. In predominantly black schools, teachers teach an average of 3.5 hours a day compared with an average of about 6.5 hours a day in formerly white schools.
"SA teachers have few systems that make them accountable for the academic performance of learners," says the paper.
Mlachila says there has been an improvement in some quality indicators over the past decade, largely as a result of the government's curriculum & assessment policy statement (Caps).
This means the government would have to enforce the testing of teachers. While this might make becoming a teacher less attractive, the authors believe it could provide "a useful filter" for who enters the profession.
However, the authors acknowledge that there is no single "silver bullet" to fixing the problem, and that often it is when interventions are packaged together that the best results are achieved.
According to Spaull, the report is the latest from an international organisation such as the World Bank or OECD to find that "the education system is really the binding constraint to long-term economic growth".
Fixing the system may be "a long-term process", he says, "but it needs to start somewhere".

Tim Falk discovers the 10 steps to a healthier life for your dog, from diet and exercise to training and companionship.
Vaccination against leptospirosis and coronavirus may also be required depending on where you live and your dog's lifestyle and health. Puppies are usually vaccinated two or three times, with the timing of the final dose being not earlier than 16 weeks of age. A booster vaccine is given approximately 12 months after their final puppy vaccination, and then every three years for parvovirus, distemper and canine hepatitis. Some vaccinations such as kennel cough need to be given annually.
Then there are behavioural benefits such as reduced urine marking and roaming, plus the fact that the cost of desexing will often quickly be offset by savings with council pet registration fees. Ask your vet for advice on the best age to desex your puppy.
There are so many pet foods available that deciding on the right food for your dog can be overwhelming. "The most important thing is to ensure your dog is fed a complete and balanced diet, which can be difficult to achieve with home-cooked foods but isn't necessarily provided by all commercial foods," Dr Liisa says. Check the pet food label for the words "complete and balanced". Premium-quality commercial foods are complete and balanced and formulated according to the nutritional requirements of each life stage and for a range of common medical conditions.
There are many parasites that affect dogs, both internal (eg. heartworms, intestinal worms, protozoa) and external (eg. fleas, ticks, mites, lice, mosquitoes, sandflies, biting flies). Heartworm infection leads to a debilitating and often fatal disease, but prevention is simple and relies on killing the microscopic heartworm larvae that an infected mosquito transfers to a dog when it bites.
External parasites such as fleas, ticks, lice and mites live, feed and reproduce on the surface of their hosts, causing a range of problems, from skin irritation, hair loss and itchiness to tick paralysis and death. Speak to your vet about how to give your dog the best possible protection against parasites year-round.
Training is vital for any dog, regardless of whether you own a Great Dane or a Chihuahua. A well-trained dog will respond to its owner and know exactly how to behave in any situation. It will come when called — either at home or at a crowded dog park — greet visitors in a calm and friendly manner, and keep unwanted behaviours such as problem barking to a minimum.
A rewards-based training method based on positive reinforcement is the best way to set your dog up to become a good canine citizen, so start training your pup from a young age and you'll be rewarded for years to come.
According to Dr Rod, it's believed dogs are genetically programmed to have specific jobs and that behavioural issues and psychosomatic disorders can be directly linked to inactivity. Exercising alone doesn't provide mental stimulation, so if you don't give your dog a "job" to do it may develop behavioural issues such as barking, digging or chewing.
"Mentally stimulating activities you can enjoy together include throwing a tennis ball or Frisbee. If you have to leave the dog for a while, keep your canine entertained by playing hide-n-seek with treats or kibble and with interactive toys like KONGs," says Dr Rod.
Last but perhaps most importantly, attention and love from humans are extremely important to dogs. Not only do they help with developmental and social skills, they also offer many benefits for general good health and mental wellbeing.
Follow these 10 steps to give your canine companion the best chance at living a long, happy and healthy life.

Where I used to manage we had a camera system in our shop and in our dispatch center, and they were wired in to a variable-speed VCR. Quite honestly, I rarely looked at the videos, unless I was tipped off to employee behavior warranting attention, such as dispatchers sleeping at their post, or drivers throwing punches at each other. I had one dispatcher prone to "wandering." She liked to leave the dispatch center to personally deliver messages that could just as easily be given over the phone, intercom, or email, and she like to go out and smoke cigarettes with the drivers. She just could not sit still. I addressed the behavior several times. Although she usually worked in tandem with another dispatcher, our 7-line phone system sometimes got quite busy, and there just wasn't a need for her to be circulating so freely throughout the facility. One day I went through an entire work shift for her on the taped recording of that day and counted how many times she left the office, and for how long she was gone. When I reported to her that, in one 8-hour shift, she left the office 56 times for a total of 3 hours and 11 minutes, she was shocked.
The most humorous episode involving the camera system was not a taped recording, however. If the monitor was on while the VCR was recording, you would see a live feed of the four cameras. If you switched it to one camera, you would hear audio. You wouldn't hear audio on the recording unless you confined it to the recording to a single camera at normal speed. The monitor and VCR was in my office, but I rarely had the monitor and/or audio on while I was there, in spite of my boss encouraging me to do so. There were few things I could imagine less interesting than monitoring the dispatch center or the shop. Sometimes I would turn it on and keep the audio low, and if something weird seemed to be going on, I would turn it up.
For part of my time there, I shared an office with our Lien Personnel, and one young lady who worked there was working at her desk one day while the camera was on. Her husband was one of our drivers. At that time I was managing the dispatchers and lien personnel, but not the drivers. The Driver Manager was in the dispatch center, talking to the dispatcher on-duty. I wasn't paying attention, but they were talking about the driver who was the husband of the lien specialist, and she was listening to them. I don't know how crazy your house is, but have you ever been sitting at home, watching TV or reading, and all of a sudden there is shouting and quick movement going on around you, and you have NO IDEA what is going on? That's what happened in my office, the dispatch center, and the space in between that day. Apparently the dispatcher on-duty and Driver Manager made disparaging comments about the driver who was married to the lien specialist, she heard it, and she made a beeline to the dispatch center to give them an earful. They must have been VERY surprised when she made her entrance.
The dispatcher on-duty figured it out first, and she ran into my office, yelling something about how the monitor shouldn't be on, and I realized that there was drama occurring. After I made heads or tails of all of the shouting, I just started laughing. I told the dispatcher on-duty, "Well, I guess you need to be more careful about talking behind people's backs, because you never know who might be listening." She was livid, and embarrassed. You know how people in a work environment tend to complain about coworkers they don't like, but not in the presence of that coworker or anyone else who might be an ally to that coworker, and then when they are in the presence of that coworker they are all smiles and fake-nice? Well, when their true colors show, it can be quite interesting—it's usually something in a shade of red. Just the look of horror, embarrassment, and disbelief on that dispatcher's face made me laugh heartily. And then there was the Driver Manager, who had a lot of 'splainin' to do, having spoken profanely about the work performance of one of his employees to another employee who did not have management status. The look on his face was more like, "Why did I come to work today?"
It was the lien specialist who impressed me the most. She did not mince words, even to her husband's boss, the Driver Manager. She was only 18 at the time, and that was the first of many times I witnessed her asserting herself. I eventually counted her as one of my most valuable employees, and she figured into many episodes worth relating.
Conversations in the dispatch center were quite cordial for awhile after that.

Review | BLACK WIDOW
Por Tom Soares em July 7, 2021 • ( Deixe um comentário )
BLACK WIDOW fans can breathe at last. The long-waited, action-packed Marvel Studios movie about the Russian-spy-turned-Avenger hits theaters and Disney+ (Disney Plus) Premium Access next week, fourteen months after the coronavirus pandemic delayed its original debut date.
Set between the events of Captain America: Civil War and Avengers: Infinity War, BLACK WIDOW shows Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson) on the run and trying to fend for herself, as she now faces prison for breaking the Sokovia Accords – an agreement that places the Avengers under government authority.
When Natasha survives an assassination attempt by the Taskmaster – a mysterious villain who can copy someone else's combat style – and is reunited with her estranged sister, Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh), the duo decides to work together and bring down the infamous Red Room.

A Hero's Time to Shine
Natasha Romanoff, the original Black Widow, was created by Stan Lee, writer Don Rico and artist Don Heck, and first appeared in the comic book Tales of Suspense #52, which was released in 1964. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the character made her debut during Iron Man 2, in 2010, before becoming one of the founding members of the Avengers.
From her very first moment onscreen, fans have asked Marvel Studios for a solo adventure for Black Widow, but things only started moving forward in 2018, when filmmaker Cate Shortland was hired to direct the movie. In April 2019, it was reported that Florence Pugh, David Harbour (Stranger Things) and Rachel Weisz (The Mummy) would be joining Scarlett Johansson in BLACK WIDOW.
Written by Jac Schaeffer, who most recently commanded WandaVision – Marvel Studios' first limited series on Disney+ (Disney Plus) – and Ned Benson, BLACK WIDOW was originally supposed to arrive in May 2020, but ended up being delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The movie finally hits theaters and the streaming service Friday, on July 9th, 2021.
How Good is BLACK WIDOW?
BLACK WIDOW is a great experience for everyone who enjoys spy thrillers like Bourn Identity and Salt. The first act gives us some of the best action scenes in the MCU since Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and Scarlett Johansson shows once again why she is so perfect to portray the red-haired hero, bringing her A-game from combat sequences to emotionally reckoning with her past as a trained assassin.

Additionally, BLACK WIDOW introduces one of the most memorable characters in the MCU since Tony Stark. Yelena Belova is fierce, has a lot of heart and has just the perfect comedic timing for the kind of humor that has become a trademark for Marvel Studios. Much like Robert Downey Jr. himself, Florence Pugh gives everything, with a show-stopping performance that you can never get enough of.
And under the direction of Cate Shortland, BLACK WIDOW feels very familiar, bringing even more of the visual identity Marvel Studios has crafted for its spy movies. Shortland has a very strong point-of-view when it comes to action, while Schaeffer's and Benson's script values character development.
However, it is worth to point out that BLACK WIDOW has some very bad moments. Although highly emotional, the second act feels interminable, and the movie has one of the most disappointing set of villains in the MCU.
Theater or Streaming?
As with most blockbusters, BLACK WIDOW was made for theaters, and it would be more appreciated on a big screen. However, considering some people may not feel safe going out right now due to COVID-19, watching at home is likewise a good option.
The movie will be available on Disney+ Premier Access for $29.99, which is not cheap but could bring some peace of mind when it comes to staying healthy. Fans who decide to watch at home won't be missing anything, and the movie is certain to be just exciting and satisfying.
BLACK WIDOW comes out Friday, July 9th, simultaneously in theaters and Disney+ and it is a fitting good-bye to a hero that has meant so much for Marvel Studios fans for over a decade. Natasha Romanoff's legacy of honor and family comes full circle in this action-packed spy thriller that delivers great performances by Johansson and Pugh, and adds another piece on the giant puzzle called the MCU.

We would like to thank you for visiting TAN in your search for "Buy Counterparty With Zong" online. Many individuals would rather use a currency deflation, especially people who need to save. Despite the criticism and skepticism, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some applications than others. Fiscal privacy, for example, is amazing for political activists, but more debatable as it pertains to political campaign funding. We need a stable cryptocurrency for use in commerce; if you're living pay check to pay check, it would happen as part of your riches, with the remainder reserved for other currencies. For most users of cryptocurrencies it's not essential to comprehend how the process works in and of itself, but it's basically important to comprehend that there is a procedure for mining to create virtual currency. Unlike currencies as we understand them now where Authorities and banks can simply select to print unlimited quantities (I 'm not saying they are doing so, just one point), cryptocurrencies to be managed by users using a mining application, which solves the complex algorithms to release blocks of currencies that can enter into circulation.
The wonder of the cryptocurrencies is that scam was proved an impossibility: due to the character of the method by which it is transacted. All deals on the crypto-currency blockchain are permanent. When you're paid, you get paid. This isn't something temporary wherever your customers can dispute or require a concessions, or use illegal sleight of palm. In-practice, many merchants could be wise to work with a cost processor, because of the permanent character of crypto-currency dealings, you should ensure that protection is difficult. With any type of crypto-currency whether a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or the numerous other altcoins, thieves and hackers might access your personal tips and so steal your cash. Sadly, you almost certainly can never obtain it back. It's very important for you yourself to follow some very good safe and sound routines when coping with any cryptocurrency. This may protect you from all of these negative functions. Here is the trendiest thing about cryptocurrencies; they usually do not physically exist anywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you take a look at a special address for a wallet featuring a cryptocurrency, there's no digital information held in it, like in the exact same way that a bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It's nothing more than a representation of value, but there isn't any actual tangible kind of that value. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be confiscated or frozen or audited by the banks and the law. They do not have spending limits and withdrawal constraints imposed on them. No one but the person who owns the crypto wallet can determine how their riches will be managed. In case of the fully-functioning cryptocurrency, it might perhaps be traded as being a product. Promoters of cryptocurrencies announce that sort of virtual cash is not manipulated by way of a key banking system and is not therefore susceptible to the vagaries of its inflation. Since there are a minimal number of products, this cash's benefit is dependant on market forces, permitting entrepreneurs to deal over cryptocurrency transactions. Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, The Affluence Network, and many others have been designed as a non-fiat currency. Put simply, its backers assert that there is "actual" worth, even through there isn't any physical representation of that worth. The worth increases due to computing power, that's, is the only way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU power via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a time period that's worth an ever decreasing amount of money or some kind of benefit so that you can ensure the shortage. Each coin includes many smaller units. For Bitcoin, each unit is called a satoshi. Operations that take place during mining are exactly to authenticate other transactions, such that both creates and authenticates itself, a simple and elegant alternative, which can be among the appealing aspects of the coin. Anyone who has mined the coin holds the address, and transfers it into a value is supplied by another address, which is a "wallet" file saved on a computer. The blockchain is where the public record of transactions dwells. Most all cryptocurrencies function as Bitcoin does.
The fact that there is little evidence of any increase in the utilization of virtual money as a currency may be the reason there are minimal efforts to control it. The reason for this could be just that the marketplace is too small for cryptocurrencies to warrant any regulatory attempt. It truly is also possible the regulators just don't understand the technology and its consequences, awaiting any developments to act. Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are placed into circulation. Because there is no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to create more. The mining process is what produces more of the coin. It may be useful to consider the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are the same. Mining crypto coins means you will really get to keep the total benefits of your efforts, but this reduces your odds of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members are going to have greater possibility of solving a block, but the benefit will be split between all members of the pool, based on the amount of "shares" won.
If you are thinking about going it alone, it really is worth noting that the software configuration for solo mining can be more complex than with a pool, and beginners would be likely better take the latter course. This alternative also creates a secure flow of earnings, even if each payment is modest compared to fully block the benefit. When searching on the internet forBuy Counterparty With Zong, there are many things to think of.
Click here to visit our home page and learn more about Buy Counterparty With Zong. Bitcoin is the main cryptocurrency of the internet: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, world-wide, and decentralized. Unlike traditional fiat currencies, there's no governments, banks, or any other regulatory agencies. Therefore, it is more resistant to crazy inflation and tainted banks. The benefits of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting money online outweigh the protection and privacy risks. Security and seclusion can readily be reached by simply being clever, and following some basic guidelines. You wouldn't set your whole bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be secured by removing any identity of possession in the wallets and thus keeping you anonymous. This mining activity validates and records the trades across the whole network. So if you're trying to do something prohibited, it is not recommended because everything is recorded in the public register for the rest of the world to see eternally. Cryptocurrency is freeing people to transact money and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in an identical way, but in addition they get involved in more elaborate smart contracts. Multiple signatures allow a transaction to be supported by the network, but where a particular number of a defined group of people agree to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This enables innovative dispute mediation services to be developed in the future. These services could allow a third party to approve or reject a transaction in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their money. Unlike cash and other payment procedures, the blockchain always leaves public evidence that a transaction happened. This can be possibly used in a appeal against companies with deceptive practices. Just a fraction of bitcoins issued so far can be found on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, which implies the price a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. A lot of people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This restricts the number of bitcoins that are actually circulating in the exchanges. Moreover, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. Consequently, even the most diligent buyer couldn't buy all present bitcoins. This situation is not to imply that markets will not be exposed to price manipulation, yet there exists no requirement for large amounts of money to move market prices up or down. The slightest occasions in the world economy can affect the price of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency explosive.

"this Key has been used already"
And then, there's Test Subjects Needed, the alternate reality game for Wrigley's 5Gum brand. For almost half a year, the enigmatic chewing gum has led its players through a futuristic testing facility, solving a series of online flash games that gradually unlocked a narrative featuring Terry O'Quinn and Summer Glau, punctuated by city-wide hunts for intricate Icefly vials. After months of trying, players that dutifully chewed enough gum to get the necessary codes reached the Central Vault, and one final video presumably concluding the experience. And yet, it appears as though there might be more to come, as packs of 5Gum are appearing in stores with a new set of codes that won't register on Test Subjects Needed's website. While this may merely be another foray into the realm of loyalty programs for the brand, Test Subjects Needed might have a little more life left in it after all.

Breakout Country Recording Starlet MIKAYLA LANE Releases Telltale Tune "WILD LIKE THE WIND" Available Now
Posted on August 15, 2021 Author Vic	Comments Off on Breakout Country Recording Starlet MIKAYLA LANE Releases Telltale Tune "WILD LIKE THE WIND" Available Now
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Breakout, indie country recording artist Mikayla Lane (Mikayla Lane Entertainment, Tulsa, OK) released her original tune titled "Wild Like The Wind."* The telltale song is available now via all digital retail outlets and streaming platforms (Amazon/iTunes/Pandora Spotify/Tidal).
Penned and co-produced by the 16-year-old songstress (alongside John Conrad), the track is Mikayla's twelfth release since the launch of her recording career and serves as fitting to her blossoming talent, in both signature style and passions, and as an introduction to her forthcoming EP (MILES FROM NOWHERE) anticipated in September.
Simulating an old-time western movie, spaghetti western guitar and whistle blows draw the curtain to render the opening scene. The calm and comforting, yet vibey, melody sets the stage to travel to a one-horse-town where the horizon is breathtaking, the air fresh and breezy, but the spirit lonesome; a young love pines for a cowboy drifter that is here and gone like sunset and dawn, and dreams lope away in a haze of dust. With a mountainous hike to the top of her range and a zip line fall to the lower, the chorus spotlights Mikayla's vocal prowess.
"The idea for the song came about because of my involvement in rodeo," said Mikayla Lane "It's a classic romanticized idea of the cowboy riding away…leaving a love behind to chase a dream that he loves."
Yeah, moving like a Texas breeze
Leaving me cold on nights like these
And he's just like a cloud of dust
Can't seem to hold him long enough
So I'm giving up on settling down
Thinking bout leaving this one-horse town
Cause I'm wild about him
But he's wild
Wild like the wind
"Wild Like The Wind" carries the momentum of Mikayla's recent release ("Drive"/Jan. 2021), which has met with early exponential success and is nearing 11,000 streams.
ABOUT MIKAYLA LANE
Sixteen-year-old Mikayla Lane is ambitious and driven–traits branded by her upbringing, lifestyle, personality and passions. With heart, vision and talent beyond her years, she knows what she wants and she is determined to chase her dream; her pursuit began early on.
Mikayla was just 13 when she earned a spot on the Ole Red (Blake Shelton) talent roster, which originated in Shelton's hometown of Tishomingo, OK and Mikayla's home state. Mikayla has become a staple at the venue in Tishomingo and has been secured to appear as a support act at ticketed shows throughout 2021. The Ole Red sister locations also extended a welcome; Mikayla is a regular at the Nashville location and slated to perform in Gatlinburg and Orlando.
She has become a "fan-favorite" at many other venues, including Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa where she opened for Jon Wolfe. Mikayla is the ballroom's youngest supporting talent to date.
Mikayla has taken the spotlight at various fairs and festivals throughout her early career including Whitaker Bank Ballpark (Lexington, KY), the Corn Festival (Stanton, KY), the Woolly Worm Festival (Beattyville, KY), Tulsa International Mayfest (Tulsa, OK), Oklahoma State Fair and Chesapeake Arena, in Oklahoma City, OK among others.
The young singer/songwriter has written and co-produced a catalog of original tunes. As a tween, Mikayla recorded and released her debut EP, ROOFTOP NIGHTS, and has since released seven studio recordings. The songstress co-wrote and co-produced the single "Superman" (recorded in her bedroom and nearing 77,000 streams); the corresponding music video (filmed in Tulsa, OK) premiered on CMT.com (October 2020). Mikayla also co-wrote and co-produced her most recent single, "Drive" (released in January 2021); the track landed debut slots on three Spotify playlists, premiering in the Top 10 on the "New Music Nashville" Spotify playlist.
She is poised to introduce her sophomore EP, MILES FROM NOWHERE in September 2021.

Ford Makes Major Changes at the Top
Farley and Thai-Tang rise. Hinrichs departs.
#Ford #Scion #Toyota
Exploring the 2020 Ford Explorer Hybrid
Ford and Electric Vehicles—And, Yes, the Mustang Mach-E
Ford Unveils Electric Mustang Crossover
To put it in bullet points, this morning Ford announced:
Jim Farley, who has been leading the company's New Businesses, Technology & Strategy Team, is now chief operating officer
Hau Thai-Tang, who is the company's chief product development and purchasing officer, will continue with that portfolio and is now running Enterprise Product Line Management and connectivity
Joe Hinrichs, president, Automotive, is retiring
To put it in non-bullet points:
When Ford announced its fourth-quarter earnings this week, they were not "earnings" so much as losses, as in approximately $1.7 billion in Q4.
Jim Farley. He introduces Mustangs. He drives Mustangs. And now he is Ford COO. (Images: Ford)
Speaking to that and how 2019 turned out, Ford president and CEO Jim Hackett acknowledged: "Financially, the company's 2019 performance was short of our original expectations, mostly because our operational execution – which we usually do very well – wasn't nearly good enough. We recognize, take accountability for and have made changes because of this."
One of the issues that the company had was what is generally termed a "botched launch" of the Ford Explorer at the Chicago Assembly Plant.
The forthcoming Ford Mach-E is getting lots of buzz, but the Explorer makes lots of money for the corporation.
As Hinrichs had been in charge of operations, perhaps the "We recognize, take accountability for and have made changes" goes to Hinrichs' retirement.
Farley has been with Ford since 2007. Prior to that, he'd been with Toyota for some 17 years. I got to know him when he was in charge of launching Scion, and I've learned that he is nothing if not a passionate and committed individual. In his time at Ford he's checked the boxes in terms of international assignments, literally having had major responsibilities in essentially every market.
Hau Tai-Tang. He knows vehicles. He knows technology. He knows how to put the two together.
Thai-Tang
Thai-Tang is, in my estimation, one of the smartest people in the auto industry, period. The 2005 Mustang—the car that brought the Mustang back to its pony car prowess—was developed under Thai-Tang's leadership, as he was the chief engineer for that car.
He's one of those people who has probably forgotten more about product development and performance than most people learn over an entire career. He is not just a "car guy" but someone who has a deep understanding of technology. Every time I've talked with him I've come away far more knowledgeable, which is not something I can say about some other execs.
Hinrichs. Smart. Affable. Retired.
And while I've not had the opportunity to come to know Hinrichs, I remember sitting at a table with him at a hospitality suite that Ford had setup during the 2012 North American Auto Show for journalists and some of its staff, a venue that was opened after the show floor had closed, a place where all, after an extremely long day, could relax with some food and beverages.
He was just back from his assignment as chairman and CEO of Ford China, which he'd had from November 2010 to December 2011. It struck me that here was a guy who was the consummate manufacturing professional, as in being someone who (1) knew the equipment, (2) knew the people side of things, (3) knew the business aspects, and (4) was one hell of a nice and engaging guy. The full package. The sort of guy that you'd want to run a company that makes things. Go figure.

they are forming seed pods. Will they bloom again this season if I remove the pods?
It depends on the variety of daylily. There are singles, doubles, rebloomers, dwarfs, giants,etc. Some of the rebloomers are 'Happy Returns', 'Rosy Returns',`Fuzz Bunny', 'Daily Bread','Haunting Melody'and 'Stella D'Oro' to name a few. If you have access to a computer, search for reblooming daylilies for more options. You should divide them every two years, fertilize every spring, deadhead all flowers and provide consistent moisture, but with good drainage. A full sun location is best for prolific bloom.


Propelled by a real passion for beekeeping, we are actively involved in safeguarding the bees and turning the spotlight on the great work they accomplish. We explore the four corners of the Earth, eager to discover new flavours, mindful of making significant gestures in the fight for the bees' survival and relentlessly acquiring new ways to improve.
Despite all the energy expended, each one of us is aware that we cannot make a difference alone. Protecting the bees is a vision of society! As long as important changes in our agricultural models are not implemented, bees will continue to die. Indifference to the plight of the bees is explainable in part, by the fact that not enough is known about this amazing insect by most of us – even though it is responsible for bringing colour to our food plate and feeding us by pollinating more than a third of the food we eat!
The other part comes from a lack of will in changing our eating habits towards eco-responsible choices which, in turn, will put pressure on governments and the agrochemical industry. Political authorities must absolutely get involved to set in motion a movement for the protection of bees, pollinators, and ecosystems. The urgency of reconfiguring agricultural models is required to harmonize the way things are done, to reassert the importance of crop diversity, to rehumanize agricultural work, to reduce the area dedicated to monoculture and to invest in a sustainable development benefitting pollinators. This approach must take form in a greater collaboration between farmers and beekeepers to make sure that realistic solutions are conceivable and applicable. We must urgently intervene and rethink the certification process and the use of pesticides by favouring, in particular, an agricultural approach less dependent on chemical inputs. Beekeepers have the potential of becoming important players, first line informants about how diverse pollution sources, direct and indirect, are affecting the bees.
The bee is an incredible bio-indicator, a true barometer measuring the quality of our environment. While shuttling back and forth between the beehive and its natural surroundings, the bee takes stock of the health status of ecosystems by performing a biopsy of all it gathers. Plants, water, soil, air particles; everything that surrounds us is, in part, taken as a sample by the bees, which provides us with an imprint of the environment. The last twenty years have seen a decline in bee populations. This imprint is disturbing, symptomatic of the environment's sick state, a diagnosis that reveals the repercussions and consequences this decline will have on human life and biodiversity on a planetary scale.
We hope to see the creation of a community that, as a bee colony, will get the job done together. The time has come to breathe life again around us, to make eco-responsible choices about what goes on our food plates, about the plant diversity that colours our fields and on the responsible development of our countryside. It is imperative that the choices we make protect and preserve our planet because we do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children and future generations. All of us should honour and respect this aboriginal wisdom.
Green Legacy project participants, Kilsyth Academy are taking on the responsibility of a hive, having participated in a series of talks and beekeeping lessons given by Plan Bee Ltd. All schools that take part in this eco-initiative receive a blank beehive that they are encouraged to create a design for and then paint – we wrote earlier about North Lanarkshire schools Kilsyth Academy and Braidhurst High, choosing and developing their themes in earlier articles.
Now these fantastic hive designs have been approved – let the painting commence. You can see the whole process illustrated below. We'd like to say thanks to all staff and pupils at Kilsyth Academy involved in this worthwhile project who have taken to it with great enthusiasm to produce some stunning designs!
News: Spring is now Official – Our Bees are out!
This year, the school will actively run a hive with its own colony of honeybees, but first, students learn the role of pollinating insects in our food chain and why it's important to establish the hive – which will be done once it is painted. Teachers from the Social Subjects and Art and Design departments have been working with the students to encourage and develop designs for the school beehive. Art teachers Duncan Chisholm and Paul Clifford undertook a design unit with S2 and S3 students drawing inspiration from battlefield images from during and after the conflict. The completed artwork went on display and school staff voted for the images they would like to see painted onto the hive.
Five talented winners were chosen to transfer their designs on to the hive: Denisa Bednarova and Zafar Khan of S2 and Nicole Collumb, Emma Ewart and Zoe Oliphant of S3.

About Critical Elements Corporation
Critical Elements is actively developing its 100%-owned Rose Lithium-Tantalum flagship project located in Quebec.
A recent financial analysis of the Rose project based on price forecasts of US$260/kg ($118/lb) for Ta2O5 contained in a tantalite concentrate and US$6,000/t for lithium carbonate (Li2CO3) showed an estimated after-tax Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 25% for the Rose project, with an estimated Net Present Value (NPV) of CA$279 million at an 8% discount rate. The payback period is estimated at 4.1 years. The pre-tax IRR is estimated at 33% and the NPV at $488 million at a discount rate of 8%.(Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability). (See press release dated November 21, 2011.)
The operation is scheduled to produce 26,606 tons of high purity (99.9% battery grade) Li2CO3 and 206,670 pounds of Ta2O5 per year over a 17-year mine life.
The project hosts a current NI 43-101-compliant Indicated resource of26.5 million tonnes of 1.30% LI2O Eq. or 0.98% LI2O and 163 ppm Ta2O5 and an Inferred resource of 10.7 million tonnes of 1.14% LI2O Eq. or 0.86% LI2O and 145 ppm Ta2O5.

Carnegie Council was founded in New York City in 1914, when Andrew Carnegie assembled a group of leaders in religion, academia, and politics and appointed them trustees of an organization named the Church Peace Union (CPU). Through the CPU, Carnegie hoped to make war obsolete.
In 1914, members of The Church Peace Union and a group of religious bodies appealed "to the Rulers, Statesmen, and people of all civilized lands" to provide a remedy for the state of the world.

Ministry shuts down 32 private companies
They were dissolved under the Sole Proprietorship Act (Law No. 19-2014).
The Sole Proprietorship Act was ratified in 2014
The Registrar of Companies has the authority to liquidate businesses deemed "inactive".
K. Male' 2019 Dec 14 | Sat 17:46 3,445 business
Registrar of companies, Mariyam Wisam - Twitter
The Ministry of Economic Development has dissolved 32 private companies.
According to an announcement released last week by the ministry, a total of 32 privately owned businesses have been dissolved under the Sole Proprietorship Act (Law No. 19-2014).
As such, all 32 businesses were finalized for liquidation in the month of November.
The Sole Proprietorship Act was ratified in 2014 with the objective of bolstering privately owned local businesses. Likewise, the law mandates that, unlike regular companies, the business's capital belongs to the sole proprietor of said company.
The Registrar of Companies has the authority to liquidate businesses deemed "inactive". Moreover, the owner of the company also has the right to dissolve the business by appealing to the Ministry of Economic Development.


Why yes, I did finish knitting a headcrab hat today!
I sure do look happy for its "currently nomming Mercury's head" status. Its Ravelry project page, with more details and photos, is here!
I really love making hats, in general. This is the first time that I have come up with a hat pattern completely on my own, with no referencing anyone else's work. I'm very proud of myself! I find it easier to improvise plushies, because, well, they don't have to fit anyone. It's satisfying to know that I can, in fact, create things off the top of my head that fit other people's heads.

Boy fatally stabbed in London was 'a nice young man', neighbour says
Dec 11th 2020 7:32PM
A 15-year-old boy who was stabbed to death in east London has been described by a neighbour as a "nice young man" who was "always laughing".
Officers from the Metropolitan Police were called just before 7pm on Friday following reports of a stabbing in Woodman Street, near the Royal Docks in Newham.
Police and members of the London Ambulance Service (LAS) attended and found the teenager – believed to be 15 – suffering injuries.
A murder investigation has been launched after a male, bel aged 15, died following a stabbing in #Newham#NorthWoolwich. Enquiries into the circumstances continue – any info pls call 101 quote CAD6330/11Dec. https://t.co/vg44zrtfh2
— Metropolitan Police (@metpoliceuk) December 11, 2020
Despite the efforts of the emergency services he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Lawrence Adu told the PA news agency he is a friend of the boy's uncle and knew him "all his life".
"I just got home, I'm so shocked," Mr Adu, who is also the boy's neighbour, said.
"He's a nice young man, very handsome and always laughing."
The Met said the boy's next of kin had been informed and inquiries into the circumstances were under way.
There have been no arrests.
Elsewhere in the capital, officers were called to Whitton Road in Hounslow, west London, at around 6.15pm following reports of a stabbing.
A 17-year-old male was found with a stab wound and injuries consistent with those caused by a corrosive substance.
He was taken to a west London hospital to be treated for injuries believed to be life threatening.
The Met said no arrests had been made and several roads in the vicinity would remain closed while inquiries were made.
On Thursday, officers from the Violent Crime Taskforce recovered 30 combat knives and a lock knife as they arrested two teenagers in north London.
A 16-year-old male was seen handing boxes containing the weapons through the window of a property in Islington.
The Met uses proactive patrols to tackle violent crime and robbery.

Infor announced its CloudSuite-to-Amazon plans at the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Summit in March, so lending its voice -- via Infor Labs senior VP Brian Rose -- to a session on partnering with AWS there was fitting. CloudSuite is an application portfolio package tuned for specific vertical industries.
AWS supports rapid deployment of new cloud services, but the need for speed isn't AWS' only attraction for Infor, Rose said at the Summit and in a post-event SearchAWS.com interview. One plus is Amazon's cloud market leadership in the Infrastructure as a Service and compute capacity. Other benefits include Amazon's strengths in industry standards compliance, global reach and innovation track record.
AWS' open architecture approach provides support for easier transitions from on-premises to cloud infrastructures. That's critical, said Rose, because Infor has 70,000 customers making decisions now about upgrading from on-premises deployments to the cloud. "Over the next five years, our on-premises customers will be migrating to cloud at a rapid pace," Rose said.
The global reach of Amazon Web Services is a must for Infor, which plans to provide CloudSuite solutions everywhere. Amazon has ten regions with 25 availability zones, more than other cloud providers. Infor can use multiple zones to provide customers' disaster recovery and availability requirements, Rose said.
The capabilities that come with an AWS partnership will help Infor's customers make decisions required for a cloud migration. "Cloud migration is about transformation and not just from an IT perspective," Rose said. Cloud can change employees' roles and job descriptions, and they need to be sure of the platform. The quality of a cloud provider's performance, security and scalability are still concerns. Infor's work alone brings "more proof points in these areas than we had, say, even a year ago," said Rose. Adding Amazon services will make customer assurance easier to obtain.
Infor will roll out all 12 of its vertical CloudSuite offerings over the next year. "Taking advantage of AWS' open architecture and open stack will be a main focus, because both help us provide easier migration paths and low TCO [total cost of ownership] to our customers," Rose said.

Pennsylvania located in the Mid Atlantic region is one of the most historically rich states on the map of the United States. The State is known for being the home to the original America's capital, the place of famous battlefields and historical sites. The Keystone State offers a variety of both cultural and natural attractions you are unlikely to come anywhere else in the country. A huge Amish community resides within its borders providing a uniquely American experience and a glimpse of another way of life. Harrisburg is currently the capital of the State that is known for its significant role in the Civil War and one of the most serious nuclear disasters in the American history that happened at the Three Mile Island Station in 1979.
If you are considering which Pennsylvania travel packages to pick, our Pennsylvania travel guide presented below will shine light on some of the must see sites in the State.
Many Pennsylvania travel guides make it known that the State has recently legalized its gambling industry attracting even more visitors who would have otherwise chosen Las Vegas. Besides casinos and a large variety of theme parks, historical sites are a huge draw for tourists booking Pennsylvania vacation packages. Additionally, the State of Pennsylvania boasts Lake Erie and Pocono Mountains regions where some of the top outdoor activities are located such as camping, fishing, swimming and even skiing.
Pennsylvania cuisine is very well regarded all over the country due to its strong Dutch influence. Tourists love sampling funnel cakes and washing it down with local beer. Pennsylvania is also home to world's famous sandwich called Philly Cheese steak sandwich that consists of slowly roasted carved meats generously layered with onions and melted cheese. Make certain to try it during your next Pennsylvania vacation.
Philadelphia, once the original capital of the US, is boasting a large variety of historical attractions that are included in many Pennsylvania vacation packages. Located less than 100 miles from New York City, it's an educational destination for many NY students coming for school field trips. The city if often associated with the cradle of American Democracy, the place of many historical events for the country. Independence National Historical Park is the place highly regarded by all Pennsylvania travel guides and no vacation to the State is complete without seeing the Liberty Bell, Constitution Hall and a large array of historical places. Fairmont Park is also at the top of Pennsylvania attractions list featuring lovely hiking trails, picnic places, the Memorial Hall and Japanese Tea Gardens. Philly is also home to 5 great squares showcasing important historical architecture housing restaurants, hotels and museums. Do not miss the first ever Zoo to open in America, Philadelphia Zoo, that opened its doors back in 1874 housing lots of animal species. For fans of dark mystery writers, Edgar Allan Poe National Historical Site is a great place to learn more about your favorite writer. Philly also boasts a huge number of museums like University Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, PA Academy of Fine Arts and many others. Another curious attraction in the city is definitely Eastern State Penitentiary that has a history of imprisoning Al Capone and other historical figures.
Pittsburgh is the second most popular tourist destination recommended by Pennsylvania travel guides. If you have previously thought that this industrial center offered no sightseeing pleasures, you might change your mind. The city contains a wealth of truly delightful museums like Carnegie Museum of Natural History, Frick Art and Historical Center and Toonseum, a unique establishment to display the heritage of cartoon making industry. The downtown district showcases a variety of historical buildings housing Courthouse and Jail, fairy tale like PPG Place and US Steel Tower building. The City pays a special attention to promoting a greener lifestyle by investing into public parks that are truly spectacular to visit. Schenley Park is loved by locals and visitors as a great place to relax, engage in sports activities and spend time with families. Frick Park is another impressive outdoor oasis offering a variety of beautiful natural settings.
Gettysburg is well known to be the city where the most significant battle of the American Civil War took place. The battle of Gettysburg is the focal point of study presented at the American Civil War Museum where visitors will learn all the details, see historical evidence and take steps back to one of the most important times in the American history in 1863. National Military Park Museum is another worthy site to visit to learn even more information about this event.
If you love chocolate, you must visit the city of Hershey, the place where it all started. Nearly all attractions in the city are centered around the world's famous chocolate including Hershey theme park, Hershey's Chocolate World and many others.
Pennsylvania Dutch Country is another huge tourist draw in the Keystone State bringing lots of curious eyes to catch a glimpse at its religious Amish group culture especially around the Lancaster region. Most Amish people make a modest living from farming, wear very plain clothing and deny any advances of modern civilization which might be quite interesting to observe. They prefer horses to cars, candles and open fire to electricity; this without a doubt draws a lot of tourist attention. If you are interested to learn about the Amish community, ask if this tour could be included in Pennsylvania vacation packages.
