The Houston Report
22.3 Million Visitors Came to Houston in '18
Published Apr 25, 2019 by A.J. Mistretta
A record 22.3 million people visited Houston in 2018, up from 21.9 million the year before, according to new figures released by Houston First Corporation.
The 22.3 million total includes both leisure and business travelers coming from elsewhere in the U.S. and from abroad. The tourism and hospitality industry employs roughly 88,000 workers in Houston and 140,000 across the metropolitan area, according to Houston First, the local government corporation that markets the region as a travel destination.
Hospitality is the fifth largest industry in Houston and contributed approximately $513 million in tax revenue for the city in 2018. "Tourism matters to the City of Houston," said Mayor Sylvester Turner. "I believe our city can compete with any city around the world when it comes to business and leisure travel."
While the overall travel figure increased between 2017 and 2018, officials pointed out some traditionally strong visitor segments did not. Mexico, for example, has long been a strong feeder market for Houston leisure travel, but visitation from across the border dropped in 2018. Tourism leaders though say they are confident the city will reach its next big goal: 25 million visitors by 2020.
A series of major upcoming events may help Houston get there. The city is hosting the World Petroleum Congress in December 2020, an international energy conference that will draw more than 10,000 delegates from at least 70 different nations and pump millions into the local economy. The Professional Convention Management Association will host its annual event in Houston in January 2021. Beyond that, Houston is competing to be one of the host cities when North America hosts the World Cup in 2026.
Long a convention hotspot, Houston has also established itself in recent years as an attractive leisure destination, earning accolades for its diverse restaurant scene, abundant performing and visual art offerings and other attractions. Earlier this year the New York Times, Conde Nast Traveler, Travel + Leisure and a host of other publications named the city a top place to travel in 2019. The 50th anniversary of NASA's historic Apollo 11 mission, which brought man to the moon, is expected to draw many visitors to the city and Johnson Space Center for celebrations this summer.

Houston's Hobby Airport Starts 2020 With New Airline, Maintenance Facility
Houston's William P. Hobby Airport is marking the start of the new year with a couple of big announcements. Earlier this week, Allegiant announced it added Houston as one of a few cities it'll begin serving in 2020. According to its press release, the new seasonal nonstop routes from Hobby Airport include Knoxville, TN, Asheville, NC, Savannah, GA, and Destin/Fort Walton Beach, FL. Allegiant says it's also expanding to Boston and Chicago. It's the largest expansion in the airline's 23-year history, driven by the company's focus on leisure travel. Allegiant's announcement comes just days after Southwest Airlines unveiled a $125 million, 240,000-square-foot maintenance facility at Hobby. It's the largest in the Dallas-based carrier's network, and includes offices, training facilities and warehouse space. "It's proof of our devotion and our dedication to Houston," Southwest CEO Gary Kelly said during the grand opening celebration, as reported by the Houston Chronicle. "And the opportunity that we see here, and the excitement that we have to continue to grow." Kelly told reporters that Houston is one of three key cities where Southwest is focused on adding flights over the next 10 years, according to the Houston Business Journal. Southwest's CEO said he ultimately wants to connect Houston to South America. "I don't see that in the next year or so, but definitely down the road it's something that we would be interested to do," Kelly said. Houston is the international air gateway to the South Central U.S. and Latin America. With the addition of international air service at Hobby Airport in '15, Houston became the only city in Texas with two airports offering international service and one of only eight such cities nationwide. According to Houston Facts, domestic travel at Hobby Airport increased by more than 7% to over 13 million passengers in '18. Airlines that offer direct domestic flights from Hobby include American Airlines, Delta Airlines, JetBlue Airways and Southwest Airlines. Southwest is currently the only airline out of Hobby offering direct international flights. The Partnership's 2019 Economic Highlights report says the Houston Airport System (HAS) offers nonstop flights to some 190 domestic and international destinations in 37 countries. Hobby is ranked as the 35th busiest airport in the nation. Learn more about air transportation in Houston in Houston Facts.

Report: Houston Growth Expected to be Among Strongest in U.S. through '23
Houston is one of only a handful of major U.S. cities expected to see economic growth over the next three years, according to a new report from Oxford Economics. The GDP of both Houston and Dallas are forecasted to grow at an average annual rate of 2.4% between now and 2023, the report finds. That's second only to San Francisco, where the GDP is expected to increase an average of 2.7% over the next three years. Researchers at Oxford Economics credit Texas' reasonable cost of living and minimal government regulation that's allowing the state's major metros to absorb businesses from elsewhere around the country. That environment is also encouraging startups. The Oxford Economics analysis projects that nearly two-thirds of the world's major cities will experience an economic dip in the next two years; the 10 largest global cities are all forecasted to see a decline in GDP. The Houston metro GDP increased an average of 1.5% from 2015 to 2019. Oxford Economics forecasts local GDP growth of 1.9% on average over the next two years. The Partnership forecasts that the Houston region will add 42,300 jobs in the year ahead, led by gains in healthcare, government, food services, and construction. Job losses are anticipated in the energy, retail, and information sectors. See more Data from the Partnership and get insight into economic indicators from the last year in Economic Highlights.

Sarkozy ditches carbon tax plan
By Lizzy Davies
March 25, 2010 — 3.00am
PARIS: The French President, Nicolas Sarkozy, who once vowed to try to ''save the human race'' with a tax on carbon, was accused by his junior ecology minister of pandering to ''eco-scepticism'' after the reform was in effect abandoned by the government.
Chantal Jouanno made no secret of her fury after the Prime Minister, Francois Fillon, said the government would not ''sink the competitiveness'' of French businesses by inflicting a tax on them that was not paid by their European Union counterparts.
''I am in despair over this step back, in despair that eco-scepticism has defeated it,'' Ms Jouanno said. ''I am not onside with this decision.''
Following his party's defeat at the recent regional elections, Mr Sarkozy has been under pressure to remove some of the more contentious elements of his agenda. But, while yesterday's announcement provoked relief from many on the right, Ms Jouanno was stinging in her criticism.
''It was possible to have done it in France before doing it in Europe,'' she said. ''It was what we had thought from the beginning; it was what other countries like Sweden have done.''
Last week rumours were rife that Mr Sarkozy and Ms Jouanno were having an affair. Both strenuously denied the claims.
A spokesman for Mr Fillon said the government was not killing off the reform but was explaining that it would have to be implemented at a pan-European level to be fair.
However, observers said the tax had in effect been shelved. ''It's called kicking it into touch,'' Jacques Le Cacheux, an economist, told L'Expansion.com. ''The government knows very well that at the moment a European carbon tax is not envisaged.''
Once hailed by Mr Sarkozy as a weapon in the fight against climate change, the carbon tax has been in doubt ever since France's constitutional court rejected it hours before it was due to come into effect at the start of the year.
While insisting some form of it would be implemented by July, Mr Sarkozy recently gave signs of hesitating on what he had once hailed as a revolutionary step. ''We will not impose constraints on our industry if, in the meantime, we allow imports from countries which do not respect environmental norms to flood our markets,'' he told Le Figaro.

Q: Kotlin KDoc: Documentation? I have seen here, here and there references to KDoc, the JavaDoc utility equivalent for Kotlin.
However, I cannot find any documentation on how to use it, let alone how to customize it or integrate it in Maven or Gradle.
I know the Kotlin API doc is generated using KDoc since the page source has the following HTML comment: <!-- Generated by kdoc on Sun Jul 06 20:27:33 UTC 2014 -->
So, is there any documentation I can refer to as to how to use KDoc ?

A: It looks like Kdoc was put on the back burner in favour of Dokka.

Recently, a colleague wrote in asking for an expert opinion regarding a temperature mapping validation for a warehouse application. In this case, the data loggers were placed at the top locations of the warehouse, positioned below the maximum product storage height (data loggers at 17 ft., and stored products up to 23 ft.).
Email us with your own experiences, comments and questions!
The subcontractor who performed a validation in our warehouse provided the following rationale for high sensor placement: "The purpose of the placement of the data loggers is to approximate the geometric corners plus middle locations of the warehouse areas. The top location heights were to be in the general area of the top plane, they were not meant to be the extreme top plane. This is standard practice of placement of the data loggers. The temperature variation will not be much in a space of 5-10 feet, considering the whole of the warehouse area was mapped and shown to be within limits."
However, in the Vaisala Validation seminar, Paul recommended that sensors be placed above the maximum storage height. My assumption is that placing sensors above the maximum storage height is the best way to confirm that the temperature of the product storage location is within temperature requirements. Is the rationale provided by the subcontractor appropriate?
You are correct that the best practice in any mapping exercise is to capture the entire storage area by placing your sensors at the limit of the usable space. This is an easy concept to apply in small units such as refrigerators and incubators. But even then, a similar discussion comes up: If I map a 1 cubic meter refrigerator, with my corner sensors 10 cm from the adjacent sides, am I obligated to never place my sensors out of these bounds? In practice, it's hard to prevent the users from placing items outside the mapped space of a refrigerator. And we can all probably agree that the 10 cm doesn't make a difference.
In a large space, such as a warehouse, the challenge is the opposite. We will usually need to store things on top of the top racks, but there is no easy way to get our sensors above the top rack safely, especially in a warehouse that's in use.
You are again correct that the only way to confirm 100% that the product storage locations on the top racks are within the temperature specifications is to get sensors up there.
1) Anytime I have ever mapped a warehouse, we have put the sensors up as high as we could on the racks. And in most instances, this meant there was product storage above the sensors. This is one of the real-world facts that don't always fit with the perfect world we'd like to see in our studies. So, your contractor is more or less correct.
2) You have data from the top plane. If it is well within temperature limits, then you have nothing to worry about. If it is very near the temperature limits, then perhaps you have something worth investigating. But then the issue is not with the sensor placement, it is with the warehouse controls.
3) If you were to be audited and there was a problem found with the sensor placement, it wouldn't be a big issue. You are ahead of the game by even mapping your warehouse. Despite it being a GMP requirement, many companies fail to comply with this. At worst, I expect the auditor would ask you to merely place the sensors higher on your next scheduled revalidation. It would be extremely surprising if an immediate revalidation were demanded.
I hope this information is useful in your decision-making process.

Today we awoke from our slumber anchored just off the coast of Cannes, France. I never get bored with these tender ports, especially the ones on the French Riviera, they are breath taking. Although Cannes is wonderful I think my favourite would have to be Villefranche, simply beautiful.
So as mentioned it is a tender port, for those of you who may have never cruised before or may have cruised but never enjoyed the tender, basically, here you are sailed to the shore via the ships tenders. Or in our case today via a rather impressive boat named the Azur I. First time I have ever seen a boat other than the ships ferrying passengers back and forth.
Although the process is quite exciting it can also be an utter pain in the neck, thankfully though today's disembarkation process went without a hitch and impressively quickly, we waited only 15 minutes between getting our passes to actually heading down to the pontoon.
The journey took roughly 15 minutes, as we edged closer we past more and more priceless yachts and of course lots of little orange friends (to you these are also known as the tender boats) and the distant view we had been intrigued by from the ship was starting to really become a lot clearer.
When we disembarked the tender boat we made our way up the stairs and prepared for our exciting walk down Boulevard De La Croisette, this is the main glitz and glamour street in Cannes. Designer boutique after designer boutique, impressive art deco style hotels, cars worth….I don't even want to think how much they are worth, but this location really is stunning.
I had visited here before, in August 2010 and I must say I much preferred it then compared to how it was now. The weather was a little overcast so that took away some of the intrigue but there was also a lot of construction work going on. You couldn't get anywhere near the main marina front so numerous photo opportunities were lost of these impressive multi-million pound yachts. It also meant for quite some distance you were forced to stay on the one route until you came to a crossing as to your other side was simply a metal fence, the road, another metal fence then the marina……it was this way or no way basically.
It was a bank holiday the day we arrived so all the designer stores were closed, there were souvenir shops open and restaurants but the likes of Gucci, Prada, Jimmy Choo, they were all locked up tight. There was a nice crafts market there, expensive but very nice to browse.
Overall Cannes really is a wonderful place I just so wish there hadn't been as much construction work going on. There was a lovely 2 storey carousel on the sea front, I have never seen anything like it before, and the walk along the main front was very pleasant. I suppose had the sun been shining it would have been a better atmosphere but it is such a long walk that you are secretly grateful for the cooler temperature. That is until your lips turn blue and you are freezing to death…..I was never so happy to get back to the ship and put on a jumper!
As we made our trek back along the beach front we stopped to take what must have been ten thousand pictures, I love photography, and pictures really can tell you an entire story without having to add one word.
We arrived back at the marina ready to embark the tender for our journey back to the ship. This time it was a little orange friend so I was quite pleased about that. 15 or so minutes later we were back onboard and by now certainly ready to fill our tummy's! We made a quick pit stop at the cabin before heading up to the Plaza for what was now afternoon tea. The perfect way to end the day and at last take the weight off our feet.
We would enjoy quite a pleasant evening at sea tonight, although still a little windy the air was not as cold as it had been. I once again took myself to deck 15 and watched the sunset, which was beautiful. It was made even better by the fact one of Costa's ships was sailing past our starboard side and the sunset backdrop made for this perfect photo opportunity.
A few cocktails later and our beds were calling, we retired happy and ready for our final port of call, Barcelona……..

Perfect for green fingers
Adam Edwards 15 January 2005 • 00:01 am
Handy: all the gauntlets are made by hand (left). Bradley Burn (right) prepares some leather
Adam Edwards is impressed by the Range Rover of gardening gloves
Most gardeners, thank heavens, are not concerned with sartorial savvy. Battered hats that might grace a Spanish donkey and baggy trousers that would flatter the ghetto is as fashionable as the well-dressed horticulturist gets. If a garment is old, ill-fitting and in clashing colours then it is the appropriate dress for tending the patch of greenery that is our pride and joy.
There is, however, one modern accessory that is universal to all men of the soil - gardening gloves. A tough glove is as important to a gardener as the pad is to the cricketer and the boot to the footballer. The glove is the gardener's all-purpose all-weather all-protective chum.
And now a company has emerged to produce what might be termed the Range Rover of gardening gloves. A small tannery in the depths of Shropshire is producing the finest leather gloves thanks to the farming crisis.
Bradley Burn, a bespectacled Geordie who relocated to the West Midlands and looks more like a teacher at a prep school than a professional tanner, started Bradley's the Tannery 20 years ago. His business was making industrial leather products for mechanics, metalworkers and welders in the West Midlands' motor trade. A Bradley's leather apron easily shrugged off the spark of the blowtorch and the gloves were immune to the sharp steel edge. It was a thriving business until the full-blown arrival of foot and mouth in 2001.
"It effectively closed the tanneries,'' says Burn. "The privatisation of the water boards in the 1990s, which brought about a huge increase in the price of water, started the decline in tanners. Then came BSE and English hides became difficult to find. Finally foot and mouth arrived and the raw material dried-up completely.''
Meanwhile the dismantling of car production at Longbridge at the turn of the century and the fact that other companies that still needed industrial leather accessories had, because of foot and mouth, switched to buying them from cheap overseas providers, had left the small tanneries in crisis.
"We suddenly found that we were one of the last independent leather tanneries in England,'' says Burn. "And we would have gone under too if it hadn't been for the anti-bramble leather gauntlet. It evolved from the company's industrial history. It is made from a soft yellow hide for the hand and a heavy hide protective gauntlet for the forearm.''
The glove has rapidly become the must-have item for the secateur set. It has been on sale at Highgrove and Princess Alexandra, who gardens in Gloucestershire, has written to the company thanking it for a pair of the pink gauntlets. "Original and in a gorgeous colour'', is how she described them.
"We reinvented ourselves,'' says Burn. "We turned our knowledge of leather into what we thought was an unusual sideline on the off- chance it might help the company through its difficulties. What we didn't know then was that gardening is the new rock 'n' roll.''
Last financial year the £35 gauntlets (which come in two sizes) were responsible for 80 per cent of the tannery's business. A second glove in pink called the "ladies pruning gauntlet'' is now rivalling the original in sales. The company's tough leather aprons, kneepads and tool pouches are also doing well.
Burn's intention is to remain small and exclusive. Everything is handmade by one of his six staff on traditional tannery drums and plating machines. He currently supplies small independents such as Gardenaria (see page 3) and he has been talking to the RHS about a stand at the Chelsea Flower Show.
"The raw material for everything we produce is from England or Wales,'' he says. "That is the way I want it to stay - a quintessentially British brand.''
The most serious problem he faces is copycat manufacturers.
"Everybody copies everybody in this business,'' he says. "But as long as we continue to produce the best quality and have fresh ideas we will become the brand leader and people will get to know us as that because of our product.''
I was sworn to secrecy about Burn's latest gardening accessory - suffice to say it is unfashionable enough to be a bestseller. And if it is, and his other products continue to flourish, then the big manufacturers may soon want a piece of the action.
I fear that it won't be long before we see the Nike swoosh in our flowerbeds.

Have you ever considered the fact that walking on grass instead of on a sidewalk might be better for your knees and lower back, and consequently for your overall health? What about closing your eyes when you shower? Skinning your fruits and vegetables? Cleansing your colon occasionally? We perform habits daily based on accepted social practices. The problem is that many of these social practices are clearly based on convenience and tradition, not on logic.
What I suggest in this book is that we should rethink the very way we think about our daily habits. Simple activities likes stretching out our book a few inches further when reading, purchasing ergonomic pens, and showering on our knees may seem weird to others, but to me--and hopefully to you--these "weird" practices represent a new way of thinking beyond social norms and may help us reclaim the health that is hidden behind a veil of perfunctory living.
Stop modeling your life after your unhealthy peers. Learn to think differently about your health and don't look back.

El Servicio de Prisiones del Estado de Israel (en hebreo שירות בתי הסוהר) es la organización nacional gubernamental que sirve como gestor de las cárceles israelíes y forma parte del sistema penal israelí. Sus tareas son mantener los prisioneros detenidos bajo unas condiciones adecuadas y seguras, proveer las necesidades básicas de los presos, aplicar medidas correctivas adecuadas a cada prisionero, para mejorar su capacidad para integrarse de nuevo en la sociedad una vez los presos sean liberados. El Servicio de prisiones israelí ha pasado por varios cambios en los últimos años, como parte de su crecimiento y de un proceso de renovación promovido por las diversas autoridades de los organismos de seguridad, el servicio quiere convertirse en una de las organizaciones de prisiones más modernas a nivel mundial. El servicio de prisiones pertenece administrativamente al Ministerio de Seguridad. Junto con el ministerio, y bajo su supervisión, conocimiento, y acciones, el servicio de prisiones pretende alcanzar sus objetivos.

Rehabilitación de los prisioneros
Una de las partes más importantes en la rehabilitación de los prisioneros es la provisión de unos hábitos de trabajo y una formación profesional, que ayude al prisionero a integrarse bien en la sociedad una vez haya sido liberado. El trabajo es importante para su salud física y mental, y puede mejorar su autoestima, todo ello crea unas rutinas que pueden alejarle de sus antiguos hábitos delictivos. El concepto de corrección está basado en la creencia de que es posible proveer a los convictos con las medidas correctivas y a la vez iniciar un proceso de cambio en su conducta. El servicio de prisiones se considera obligado a utilizar un tiempo de encarcelamiento para iniciar este proceso y llevar a cabo su desarrollo. El tiempo de encarcelamiento es un momento duro en la vida del prisionero, pero también una oportunidad para la educación, el tratamiento y las actividades de rehabilitación. El prisionero es introducido a medidas que mejorarán sus oportunidades de volver a la sociedad con éxito. Está en un lugar en donde el tratamiento está disponible, tiene suficiente tiempo libre y sus dificultades son mayores. Estas condiciones crean una oportunidad para la terapia y la intervención educacional, que están diseñadas para cada prisionero y sus necesidades. Esta intervención le ayudará a través de estos momentos difíciles y hará posible su rehabilitación en la sociedad.

Departamento de educación
El departamento de educación se encarga de llevar a cabo las actividades educativas de los prisioneros de todas las cárceles del país. Su objetivo es cambiar el pensamiento y la conducta y proveer las medidas y habilidades para ayudar al prisionero a convertir el periodo de encarcelamiento en una lección vital, por tanto mejorando sus capacidades de volver con éxito a la sociedad. Este proceso es posible gracias a los programas educacionales y las actividades designadas para los diferentes prisioneros y las necesidades de cada uno de ellos.

Proceso de reclutamiento de los guardias
Para convertirse en un miembro del personal del Servicio de Prisiones, hay que pasar por un proceso que incluye varias etapas. Son elegidos los candidatos más adecuados entre los solicitantes. El trabajo de los guardias de seguridad al llegar al final del proceso de reclutamiento estará determinada por las necesidades operacionales del servicio de prisiones.

Historia del servicio
Cuando se fundó el Estado de Israel en 1948, el Ministerio de Policía fue establecido. El Servicio de Prisiones comenzó entonces como un departamento de la Policía israelí. Sin embargo se decidió ya en 1949 que había que separar el servicio de prisiones del cuartel nacional de la Policía, y que este servicio debía operar como una unidad independiente. También se decidió que el jefe del servicio sería un comisario, que estaría subordinado al Ministerio de Policía. El primer comisario fue Gero Gera, que sirvió en esa posición entre los años 1949 a 1951.

Unidades especiales
Un cierto número de unidades especiales operacionales han sido establecidas dentro del Servicio de Prisiones Israelí, con la finalidad de hacer frente a los riesgos y las amenazas que hay en el campo de las instalaciones penitenciarias, tanto dentro como fuera de los muros de la prisión. Cada una de estas unidades cumple con una función muy precisa y todas ellas pertenecen administrativamente al servicio de prisiones.

Unidad Metzada

La Unidad Metzada es la unidad especial de intervención del servicio de prisiones. Esta unidad se formó a finales de 2003, y es una unidad operacional de ámbito nacional, está formada por un personal con un entrenamiento intensivo. Los miembros de la unidad "Metzada" tienen que estar siempre alerta y listos para ofrecer soluciones profesionales adecuadas en situaciones de emergencia, tales como altercados, motines, asaltos, escándalos, revueltas, intentos de fuga de la cárcel y otras situaciones peligrosas. Esta unidad se ha especializado en utilizar métodos no letales para neutralizar a los presos. La unidad también ofrece soluciones para las fuerzas de seguridad del país en tiempos de emergencia, también participa y contribuye en los simulacros nacionales que realizan periódicamente las fuerzas especiales. Antes de la creación de esta unidad, el servicio de prisiones israelí dependía totalmente de las FDI y la Policía israelí.

Unidad Nachshon

La Unidad Nachson (en hebreo: יחידת נחשון) es el brazo operativo del servicio de prisiones israelí. La unidad fue establecida en 1973, y sirve como la unidad central para la observación de los prisioneros, las intervenciones operativas y la seguridad. Las tareas de la unidad incluyen, entre otros: escoltar a los prisioneros y los detenidos desde una instalación de encarcelamiento hasta otro lugar, e intervenir durante eventos irregulares que puedan tener lugar para establecer el orden y la seguridad. La unidad ayuda a conducir búsquedas amplias dentro de las cárceles para encontrar armas, drogas, información, notas, explosivos, teléfonos móviles, tarjetas SIM, y cualquier información sobre posibles atentados terroristas enemigos. La unidad también debe garantizar la seguridad de los miembros del personal del servicio de prisiones que han sido amenazados (ellos y sus familias) entrega prisioneros a países extranjeros como parte de los acuerdos internacionales de extradición de prisioneros, escolta a los detenidos hacia los tribunales y se encarga de mantener la seguridad de la sala del tribunal, e incluso escolta a presos peligrosos en sus visitas domésticas y cuando salen de la cárcel para recibir tratamiento médico. Los miembros de la unidad Nachshon escoltan alrededor de 1.800 prisioneros, criminales y terroristas diariamente en los vehículos de la unidad, esto da como resultado una cifra anual de 390.000 prisioneros.

La unidad dispone de cientos de vehículos operacionales especialmente diseñados, desde autobuses hasta camiones pasando por motocicletas, todos ellos están adaptados para escoltar a los prisioneros. Los vehículos sirven como cárceles móviles, transportando a un sector violento y peligroso de la sociedad que es muy probable que intente escapar. Estos vehículos pueden funcionar tanto de día como de noche y pueden llegar a cualquier lugar del país. La unidad Nachshon se divide en 3 brigadas repartidas por todo el país (el norte, el centro y el sur), y que están bajo el mando del cuartel general de la unidad.

Yamar Dror
La unidad Yamar Dror fue fundada en 1993, es la unidad anti-narcóticos del servicio de prisiones de Israel, y fue creada para luchar contra la droga. La unidad está especializada en realizar búsquedas e interrogatorios.

The German national broadcaster, WDR, has relaunched their selection to find the German representative for the Eurovision Young Dancers 2017 competition in Prague. WDR was due to select their entrant for the contest in February, however this was postponed after Malta cancelled their staging of the contest, therefore postponing the contest itself.
WDR will not hold a televised selection, but rather select the winner behind closed doors. As with previous years it is expected that two dancers will be shortlisted for the contest, with the Eurovision Young Dancers choreographer having the final say on who will make it to the Czech Republic.
Dancers must be in advance, university education or similar.
A solo piece of choreography must be prepared for the application, the performance may last no longer than 1 minute and 30 seconds.
For the application, the performance must be recorded on video (format: DVD or YouTube link) and submitted together with a short CV.
Germany took part in the inaugural Eurovision Young Dancers contest in 1985 and has taken part in 12 editions so far, only missing the 2001 and 2003 contests. They won the contest on one occasion, in 1999 with Katja Wünsche and Stegli Yohan. They also hosted the 1987 contest, in Schwetzingen in the southwest of Germany. In the last contest in 2015, Germany were represented by Thomas Rohe, who performed "Senses", which he choreographed himself. Rohe did not qualify for the final duel.

Craig Press Editorial Board: It's far from perfect, but Moffat County can't afford to vote no on the Health Services District
The Craig Press Editorial Board is endorsing ballot measures 6A and 6B.
Let's get that out of the way. We believe, above all else, that this county — Craig, Maybell, Dinosaur, all — absolutely must have a sustainable, reliable, high-quality ambulance service, and we are confident the Health Services District will deliver that.
We can't see it another way. The controversies surrounding these measures are intensely fraught and complex, but the simple truth is this: We can't let this opportunity to lock in this absolutely necessary feature of a successful, healthy, vital community get away from us.
That said, we have thoughts.
In its absolute essential impact, these measures institute a small property tax hike — and let's be clear, it's really a drop in the bucket, as property taxes go. It's not nothing, but for what we're getting it's beyond a worthy investment.
.cdp-donation .logo { width: 50%; margin: 1rem 0 1rem; }
.cdp-donation h1 { font-size: 2rem; text-transform: none; color: #fff; } .cdp-donation p { color: #fff; font-weight: 300; } .cdp-donation hr { width: 20%; border-top: 4px solid #000; }

.cdp-donation .btn:hover { background-color: #3052b4 !important; } .cdp-donation .btn:hover { color: #fff !important; } .cdp-donation .col-xl-5.p-0 { background-image: url('https://cdn.craigdailypress.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/03/CDP-donate-cta-bg-1.jpg'); background-size: cover; min-height:330px; }
@media ( min-width: 768px ) { .cdp-donation .logo { width: 35%; } }
@media ( min-width: 1440px ) { .cdp-donation { text-align: left; } .cdp-donation-mobile { display: none; }
.cdp-donation hr { margin-left: 0; }
But, even as voting for more taxes goes — already a tough sell in Moffat County, to be sure — this particular decision is inspiring particular agitation, and, to be frank, we understand why.
With all respect and appreciation to the people who have put in the effort to try to get this measure to the finish line, we've got to be honest: As a whole, this effort leaves a lot to be desired.
Let's start with the most vocal opponents: The Maybell Ambulance Service.
We don't agree with the folks in Maybell who say they were shut out of this process — Craig Press reporting reveals a paid administrator for the service was invited from early in the process and chose not to be involved — or that, in the end, this will be the apocalyptic, culture-ending event they seem to be predicting it will be for them. But we do sympathize with their instincts that they're under some kind of attack.
The HSD task force did their basic duty here — they had meetings in Maybell and with Maybell representatives, they invited Maybell representatives to be involved in the task force and they conducted periodic outreach to the town's residents and ambulance service.
The issue is a matter of tone.
Maybell's history of ambulance service is a proud one — and deservedly so. They forged their own way into the world of emergency medical services and have, through strength of will and character, kept their staffed successfully for generations. No Maybell EMT thinks the service needs help from the city, and coming into town with any notion of saving something that, to those folks, needs no savior, is misguided. From what we understand, that poisoned the relationship from Day 1. It doesn't matter if, holistically speaking, the HSD is a good thing for Maybell — we believe it is. What matters is this is a proud community that feels it's under siege from its larger neighbor to the east. That creates an emotional response that is nearly impossible to overcome, when the opposite could have been achieved with a little bit of tact and diplomacy.
Then there's the other points of contention from those who plan to vote no. The perceived lack of representation on what is nominally a representative board is a real issue. It's just not great that only five people ran for the five seats, and it looks like that was in part by design of the task force and in part by general error of the same.
The Leadville paper got the notice seeking candidates. What is that? How does that happen? What a colossal error. That just doesn't build trust. It looks shady, whether or not it is. We're frustrated by that mistake, because it could contribute to compromising the entire operation.
The task force was responsible for recruiting candidates, and it seems it pushed forward exactly five. The five are perfectly good options, as far as we can tell. Really good. We don't have a problem with any of them when we zoom out and look at this as a complete picture. But it's just too bad that there are so many connections with the hospital throughout both the process and the candidates themselves. What a missed opportunity to create ownership and trust between voters and district. We wish this had gone differently.
And finally, the sticking point of the relationship with the hospital. Is MRH really the only option in terms of H.R., billing and I.T. help? If the contention is that the board can move those services away from MRH on Day 1, why not go away on Day 0? Why not go away in the service plan? There are other contractors out there. Why has this unnecessary web of confusion been weaved — when, as the task force insists, the services will be temporary? Find anybody else.
However, once again, with all that said, we are sincere and adamant that this is right for Moffat County in spite of all our bewilderment over the process that got us here. We are hopeful that Moffat County residents might consider, as we are, looking past the sticking points to vote yes on 6A and 6B to ensure safety and security for ourselves, our neighbors and our visitors — at an extremely palatable cost — well into the future.
The Craig Press Editorial Board includes general manager Sheli Steele; editor Cuyler Meade; and community members Jon Miller and Dan Davidson.

Boeing Co. stock sets new high
Published: Feb. 9, 2006 at 4:14 p.m. ET
August Cole
Lockheed Martin shares reach multiyear peak
RTN
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Buoyed by its resurgent jetliner business and a generally favorable defense budget, Boeing Co. stock set an all-time high on Thursday, helping push the Dow Jones Industrial Average skyward.
Shares of Chicago-headquartered Boeing BA, +0.92% closed up 25 cents to $72.01 on volume of 3.9 million shares.
Earlier in the session, the stock hit $72.76, which topped a peak of $72.40 on Dec. 27. See stocks setting 52-week highs on the New York Stock Exchange.
Boeing declined to comment on the stock move.
Paul Nisbet, aerospace analyst with JSA Research, said the recently released defense budget was giving the stock a lift.
"Both their Future Combat Systems program and the Joint Tactical Radio System program were funded quite significantly," he said. This week, the White House budget fiscal year 2007 request for the Defense Department spared the industry from major cutbacks to big contracts. See full story.
"In general, the defense stocks are doing quite well because the budget was stronger than most people had thought it would be," said Nisbet.
The White House budget request for fiscal 2007, excluding at least $50 billion in supplemental spending for operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, calls for a 7% increase to $439 billion. See full story.
Boeing's shares rose sharply in 2005 on record orders for new jets. Boeing and Airbus both racked up more than 1,000 orders last year - the highest ever for either company. Following those record orders will be hundreds of deliveries a year. See full story.
Currently, the majority of Boeing's sales come from its integrated defense systems division, which is in the midst of a restructuring that will move key executives closer to the Washington area. See full story.
Last year, about 56% of Boeing's revenue came from military work, though the company, like other Pentagon contractors, has said a slowdown in military spending, will put pressure on revenue.
That may change in 2008, Nisbet said, who forecasts $38 billion in sales for Boeing's commercial airplanes group out of $75 billion in annual company revenue.
"I think the commercial side will again be the majority of the company. Maybe not for a couple of years, but I think they are definitely headed in that direction," he said. See full story.
On Feb. 7, Morgan Stanley boosted its price target on Boeing stock to $80 a share, up from $75, after the company's higher outlook for 2006.
On Thursday, shares of Lockheed Martin LMT, +2.04%, which is ahead of Boeing as the No. 1 Pentagon contractor, hit their highest level in more than three years.
Lockheed stock is up almost 10% so far this year.
Other defense contractors advanced on Thursday, including Northrop Grumman NOC, +1.47%, General Dynamics GD, +0.82% and Raytheon Co. RTN, -19.76%.
CAO executives arrested in Singapore
TOKYO (MarketWatch) -- Singapore police arrested the suspended chief executive of China Aviation Oil (Singapore) Corp., and the president of its Chinese government-owned parent company, in connection with a derivatives-trading scandal in which CAO Singapore incurred losses of about $500 million, according to a published report Thursday.


This policy was adopted on April 13, 1979 and was most recently amended on August 8, 1994. It appears in the current issue of the faculty handbook.
Office of the Provost. Questions about policy content should be directed to the Office of the Provost, ext. 8-6684.
Special faculty appointments are full-time, non-tenure appointments that confer faculty status but are subject neither to the Appointment and Tenure Policy of Carnegie Mellon University, nor to the Policy on Research Faculty or to the Policy on the Lecturer Track.
In order to maintain the quality, flexibility, and continuity of the academic activities of Carnegie Mellon University in all their aspects (instructional, scholarly, professional and artistic), the work of the regular faculty must be complemented by the services of other qualified persons engaged in the generation or dissemination of knowledge, on a part-time or full-time basis, in positions regarded as conferring faculty status.
This document concerns the full-time appointments that confer faculty status but are subject neither to the Appointment and Tenure Policy of Carnegie Mellon University nor to the Policy on Research Faculty Appointments nor to the Policy on the Teaching Track Appointments; such appointments are herein termed special faculty appointments. This document does not deal with part-time faculty or with the use of students in teaching and research. Also excluded from its scope are librarians, research appointments in the Mellon Institute, the Information Technology Center and the Software Engineering Institute, members of the Department of Athletics and Physical Education, and R.O.T.C. personnel.
Post-doctoral fellowships and similar special instructorships; visiting professorships; positions for visiting professionals (e.g., writers-in-residence).
Research funded by external contracts, when a research faculty appointment is not appropriate.
(i) Teaching or research, when the need is temporary, or as long as such teaching or research is available only through the employment of persons who would not qualify for regular faculty appointment; (ii) the performance of activities which, although so restricted to the teaching of routine skills or to support functions in research as to be considered not strictly academic, nevertheless require the employment of persons of sufficiently high caliber and specific talent as to justify the conferring of faculty status in order to attract and retain them, without requiring of them all the activities normally expected of regular faculty members.
(i) Courtesy appointment of holders of full-time non-academic administrative positions for academic activities in fields in which they are specially qualified; (ii) occasional specialized instruction by persons appointed under category (B).
Faculty members should not be considered for special faculty appointments merely because attainment of tenure is unlikely.
The making of special faculty appointments (including reappointments) in a college, and the specification of their term and of salary arrangements are subject to the approval of the dean. Every special faculty appointment or reappointment shall be for a term of at most three years. Appointments made under (A) above may not be renewed consecutively beyond an aggregate of three years. An extension of up to one year beyond this limit is permitted if required for the completion of the term of a fellowship that is explicitly designed as post-doctoral and is funded by external sources. Initial appointments made under (B) or (C) above are, in addition, subject to the approval of the provost when the persons to be appointed hold or have held regular faculty positions at Carnegie Mellon University at the rank of assistant professor or at a higher rank.
When an appointment or reappointment is made, it is the responsibility of the dean to ensure that the appointee is given clear and full information in writing concerning the terms of the appointment and his or her specific functions and duties, as well as concerning the special nature of the appointment. The dean shall also make sure that information on the appointment, including specification of the category (A) - (D) under which it was made, is available to the administration and, to the extent of its responsibilities, to the University Committee on Special Faculty Appointments.
A special faculty appointment establishes no claim to consideration for reappointment. Nevertheless, whenever an appointment is made for a term of one year or more and reappointment is neither ruled out by this document nor by the specific terms of the appointment, timely notice shall be given to the appointee of the decision to reapppoint or to let the appointment lapse. Notice is timely if given four months before the expiration of the term if such term is of less than two years, and six months before if the term is of two years or more.
During the term of their appointment, special faculty appointees are subject to, and protected by, the same university policies concerning academic freedom and dismissal for cause (but not concerning reappointments) as are regular but untenured faculty members. They shall enjoy all normal staff fringe benefits.
Each research appointment made under (B) requires a review by the department and by a college review committee before any reappointment that would extend it beyond an initial four years or beyond three years since the reappointment following the latest review.
Each college shall establish the appropriate procedures for this review. If, in the course of the review, it is determined that the activities of the position substantially resemble those of a regular faculty position, but that its replacement by a regular faculty position is inappropriate, the review shall then bear upon the qualifications of the candidate for reappointment, and the procedures in force for the reappointment of probationary regular faculty members shall be adhered to as closely as practicable.
Each college shall also establish procedures for a review, at suitable intervals, of special faculty appointments made under (C) and (D).
There shall be a University Committee on Special Faculty Appointments, constituted as follows: the provost designated by the president to preside, the deans of the colleges and the chair of the Faculty Organization shall be members of the committee ex officiis; the other members shall be appointed for staggered terms of two years and must be regular faculty members; the president or his designee and the chair of the Faculty Organization shall each appoint three members and the chairperson of the faculty of each college shall appoint one member.
The University Committee on Special Faculty Appointments shall conduct a triennial review of all positions to which special faculty appointments are made under (C), for the sole purpose of ensuring that the functions of these positions satisfy, or continue to satisfy, the requirements justifying their discharge by means of special faculty appointments. So far as practicable, this review shall be organized in such a manner that all such positions in the same college shall come under review in the same year. The review shall not bear upon the qualifications of the persons holding the appointments beyond the extent required to make the determination specified above. The deans shall submit to the committee all pertinent information together with their recommendations. The committee shall forward these recommendations together with its own to the provost for a final decision. Should this decision be that the functions in question do not justify their discharge by means of a special faculty appointment, the person holding such an appointment may nevertheless continue in it until the end of his or her current term of appointment.
In addition, the University Committee on Special Faculty Appointments shall monitor the general functioning of Carnegie Mellon's policy on special faculty appointments. To this end, the administration shall provide the committee annually with a summary report on the existing special faculty appointments in the various categories, as well as with any other relevant and non-privileged information. The committee shall advise the Faculty Senate and the president on any matters concerning the university's policy that may be submitted to it, as well as on those that in its opinion require examination or amendment of this policy.
The chair of the Faculty Organization shall report each year to the Faculty Senate on the operation of the University Committee on Special Faculty Appointments.

Blue is often considered to be a "cold" colour, but when used in the right environment it can be inspiring. For example "Powder Blue" in, durable, mid sheen emulsion is ideal for a bathroom. Finish this clean fresh look with Pure Brilliant White Quick Dry Gloss.
Quick Tip - Synthetic bristle brushes are good value for money and great for using with water based paints as the bristle will not expand when wet.

Q: How to check in an insert into command in SQL Server using C# I have 3 tables: Student, Books and Borrows:

*

*Student (id, name, FK_borrow)

*Books (id, name, nbre_books_available int)

*Borrows (borrow_from, borrow_to, FK_student, FK_books)

I want to insert values into the table Borrows after checking if the column nbre_books_available is not 0, and update it.
This my attempt
private void fillborrow()
{
    cmd.Connection = cn;
    cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;

    cmd.CommandText = "insert into borrows Values ('"+dateTimePicker1.Value+"','"+dateTimePicker2.Value+"',"+int.Parse(textBox1.Text)+","+int.Parse(textBox2.Text)+")" ;

    cn.Open();
    int a = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
    cn.Close();

    if (a == 0)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("Erreur");
    }
    else
    {
        MessageBox.Show("Ajouter avec success");
    }

    cmd.CommandText = "update books set nbre_current = nbre_current - 1 where CodeO = " + int.Parse(textBox1.Text);

    cn.Open();
    cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
    cn.Close();
}

I don't know how to Add the requete that check if the nbre_books_available column is 0 or not

A: This is essentially the same question as this
You can perform your exist check at the same time as inserting and then check the return value of ExecuteNonQuery().
If it returns 0 then no rows were inserted, otherwise it was successful.

Classified By: CDA Robert Silverman for reasons 1.4 (b) and (d).
¶1. (S) Swedish Minister of Migration Tobias Billstrom asked CDA to come see him on short notice on April 8 to discuss Guantanamo detainees. Saying that Sweden strongly approved of the "general approach" the Administration has taken on detainees, Billstrom stated that if Sweden can assist, it would like to do so. The solution for Sweden boils down to two points: first, there must be a "quality branding" for individual asylum seekers "achieved by using UNHCR"; and second, Swedish administrative procedures must be followed precisely, meaning that there must be a strong case for protection for any individual who might be re-settled. Billstrom continued that the U.S. and Sweden have a "common interest in thinking about ways to achieve this."
¶2. (S) Billstrom cautioned it would be important to craft an approach "using UNHCR in an instrumental way, which might just work." He added that the Swedish Government would need to hear directly from UNHCR. "If UNHCR is ready to go forward, then we are willing to consider the issue very carefully." Billstrom stressed that there was an important "political dimension to be considered," and that it would be "embarrassing" if an "approach" were made that did not include UNHCR, forcing Sweden to say no.
¶4. (S) Billstrom asked about USG requirements for security monitoring of detainees who might be re-settled in Sweden. Poloff replied that the USG usually requests humane treatment and security-related assurances when transferring detainees, but had flexibility in terms of the latter in some cases (Ref B). CDA offered that USG experts might be willing to meet with the Minister to answer his questions on thQ#Q1Qto Amb. Williamson during his March meetings in Geneva (Ref A). In any case, Billstrom remained focused on UNHCR and never once raised the need for an EU framework for handling the issue.


Smart security cameras aren't the only smart home products that can be found at discounted prices today as Amazon has tons of great deals on all kinds of items that fit into this product category. In fact, a smart security camera isn't the only thing that TP-Link has on sale during Cyber Monday either. Right now it's possible to grab the TP-Link Multi-Color Smart LED Bulb for just $34.94 when its normal price is usually $54.99. That's about $20 off and is really good deal for something of this nature, so those looking to upgrade their home lighting and make things a little more convenient should definitely consider this bulb.
First and foremost, this is a smart LED Bulb. The LED means it's going to end up using less energy than other traditional non-LED bulbs, so it's already likely to help you lower your energy bill annually. On top of helping you lower your energy bill simply from using LED technology, the bulb is also dimmable which means you can easily lower the amount of light output so it's using even less energy. The smart part of the bulb comes from its ability to link up to your Wi-Fi network, which in turn allows you to connect the bulb to your smartphone through a companion app which is how you can easily control things like the dimming function, or what color comes out of the bulb. If you're someone who enjoys mood lighting, then this bulb can provide that and add some extra ambiance to any situation.
It gets even smarter as the bulb is also compatible with Amazon's Alexa software, so with a device like the Echo, Echo Dot, Echo Show or the Alexa app, you can use your voice to control the features of the light from afar, even while you're away from home as long as the bulb is enabled and connected to the network. Smart bulbs are a great gift for anyone who wants to save on energy and/or add a little bit of fun and convenience to their home's lighting systems.


As we approach February 14, it seems that several theaters are presenting shows with a theme of love and relationships (including a dating musical at Illusion and a marriage musical by Bucket Brigade). Pillsbury House Theatre's entry into this theme is Bright Half Life. This story of love, marriage, and children between two women spans over 40 years and is told in a non-linear fashion. In a short and sweet 75 minutes we watch these women progress through all stages of a relationship in a play that's poignant, engaging, and entertaining.
Erica and Vicky meet, get married, have children, and get divorced. Only not in that order, as we see scenes from the end of their relationships juxtaposed with scenes from the early days. Scenes are from seconds to many minutes long. The program says the timeframe is 1985 to 2031, and at first my linear brain was working a little too hard to put things into a timeline. But soon I was able to let go of that and just let the pieces fall into place. While the full exact story of these 40+ years is never revealed, the pieces are enough to color this relationship that is very real in its highs and lows, joys and sorrows.
Sarah Agnew and Jasmine Hughes are both wonderful as Erica and Vicky, with a natural easy chemistry. It feels like a real relationship you're watching. Director Ellen Fenster keeps the complicated construction of the story as understandable as it can be, using light and sound (designed by Wu Chen Khoo and Katharine Horowitz) to punctuate and separate the scenes, as well as subtle changes in wardrobe or position on the stage. The story takes place in many varied locations, from a plane to a mattress store, and Joseph Stanley's minimalist and futuristic set provides a blank backdrop that allows the imagination to fill in the setting.
Bright Half Life continues through February 21 in Pillsbury House's intimate and cozy theater space in South Minneapolis. It's short and sweet but takes you through a full and epic journey of love.

I also design and write for ART! The Magazine! Issue 4 is available now (I will post a list of locations soon) and I got to see Issue 5 in print as a test copy on Saturday night. SO EXCITED!
Here are a few pics from the event. To see them all, CLICK HERE.


This book is aimed at providing a coherent, essentially self-contained, rigorous and comprehensive abstract theory of Feynman's operational calculus for noncommuting operators. Although it is inspired by Feynman's original heuristic suggestions and time-ordering rules in his seminal 1951 paper An operator calculus having applications in quantum electrodynamics, as will be made abundantly clear in the introduction (Chapter 1) and elsewhere in the text, the theory developed in this book also goes well beyond them in a number of directions which were not anticipated in Feynman's work. Hence, the second part of the main title of this book. The basic properties of the operational calculus are developed and certain algebraic and analytic properties of the operational calculus are explored. Also, the operational calculus will be seen to possess some pleasant stability properties. Furthermore, an evolution equation and a generalized integral equation obeyed by the operational calculus are discussed and connections with certain analytic Feynman integrals are noted. This volume is essentially self-contained and we only assume that the reader has a reasonable, graduate level, background in analysis, measure theory and functional analysis or operator theory. Much of the necessary remaining background is supplied in the text itself.
This monograph gives a state-of-the-art and accessible treatment of a new general higher-dimensional theory of complex dimensions, valid for arbitrary bounded subsets of Euclidean spaces, as well as for their natural generalization, relative fractal drums. It provides a significant extension of the existing theory of zeta functions for fractal strings to fractal sets and arbitrary bounded sets in Euclidean spaces of any dimension. Two new classes of fractal zeta functions are introduced, namely, the distance and tube zeta functions of bounded sets, and their key properties are investigated. The theory is developed step-by-step at a slow pace, and every step is well motivated by numerous examples, historical remarks and comments, relating the objects under investigation to other concepts. Special emphasis is placed on the study of complex dimensions of bounded sets and their connections with the notions of Minkowski content and Minkowski measurability, as well as on fractal tube formulas. It is shown for the first time that essential singularities of fractal zeta functions can naturally emerge for various classes of fractal sets and have a significant geometric effect. The theory developed in this book leads naturally to a new definition of fractality, expressed in terms of the existence of underlying geometric oscillations or, equivalently, in terms of the existence of nonreal complex dimensions. The connections to previous extensive work of the first author and his collaborators on geometric zeta functions of fractal strings are clearly explained. Many concepts are discussed for the first time, making the book a rich source of new thoughts and ideas to be developed further. The book contains a large number of open problems and describes many possible directions for further research. The beginning chapters may be used as a part of a course on fractal geometry. The primary readership is aimed at graduate students and researchers working in Fractal Geometry and other related fields, such as Complex Analysis, Dynamical Systems, Geometric Measure Theory, Harmonic Analysis, Mathematical Physics, Analytic Number Theory and the Spectral Theory of Elliptic Differential Operators. The book should be accessible to nonexperts and newcomers to the field.

Sharp Dressed Man by ZZ Top | rhythm
An electric guitar lesson on how to play "Sharp Dressed Man" by ZZTop from the 1983 "Eliminator" album.
 This is an iconic riff from an iconic band. Billy Gibbons came up with a classic with this one.
Don't be fooled by the beards and funny dance steps, Billy Gibbons is a monster guitarist and writer. He builds rock solid riffs and licks, plays with fantastic feel, all the while singing and playing at the same time.
On the album there are two distinct guitar parts, but live obviously Billy Gibbons combines the two.
My goal in this video is to show you how those two parts were played and also to go over how you might approach playing this as the only guitar player in a band situation.
There's quite a bit more to the riff than you might think and Billy plays some different voicings than a lot of guitar players might be used to.
I hope that you're able to get something from the video and have fun playing this ZZ Top classic. Cheers
If you find this video useful, please consider making a donation. Thank you.

We are in the midst of conducting our 2014 survey of Product Team Performance. This is an annual study we conduct to examine the factors that drive high performance product teams. One of the questions we asked this year relates to how central the role of a project manager is to efficient product teams.
Speaking for the team, we greatly value the contributions of strong project managers particularly in large and complex projects. We find that their ability to manage projects effectively frees up the product manager to focus on where the market is headed, the customer, and the key components that make for a robust product.
With the rise of iterative incremental processes (E.g. Scrum, Agile, etc.) we wanted to better understand how these methodology adoption changes have impacted the perceptions of product team members regarding the role of a project manager.
While the study is still on-going it appears that only 40% of product teams indicate that a project manager is essential to the success of the effort. This is a bit startling.
What is your perspective? Do project managers still have a place at the product development table?

Warehouse managers are probably aware of the different forklift attachments that are available in the market today. However, many might think that an attachment is designed to handle a specific task or single object. Actually, forklift attachments can help with almost any job and can help operators finish a variety of tasks faster, safer, and with a lot less difficulties.
However, forklift operators need to be aware that an attachment can change the balance of the lift and make it necessary for drivers to be trained on its use.
The use of attachments can provide a plethora of benefits including the reduction of the amount of time it takes to complete a task, less man power and employee hours operating the lift, reduce number of employees necessary for achieving an assignment, lower fuel consumption, and less chance of damaging stock.
As previously mentioned, the addition of an attachment on to a forklift can present a number of safety problems, but none that cannot be easily overcome.
differently if it has an attachment. That is because an attachment reduces the load capacity of a lift and also changes its center of gravity. Therefore, it is less stable than it would have been without the attachment. The reason for the threat to stability is because weight is being added to the front of the machine. This changes the pivot point of the lift even before you pick up a load. Experts suggest that operators drive a lift with an attachment as if it is partially loaded whether or not you have picked up a load. Operators are also cautioned to drive and make turns slowly and gently.
The data plate of the lift should include a list of attachments and how they affect the lift's capacity. Forklift drivers should also be trained in the proper fitting, operations and removal of the attachment.
Experts suggest that you check to assure that the attachment fits the lift properly and that it is suitable for the type of load the lift carries, that it is properly attached, and that the data plate of the lift permits the use of the attachment.
In short, the forklift operator should always know what the forklift could do or not do with an attachment added to it.
· Providing adequate fork positioning without maneuvering the lift.
· Reducing fuel use and truck wear.
· Providing faster loading and unloading of pallets.
· Minimizing damage of the pallet.
· Permitting proper fork positioning.
· Prevents the need for operators to manually adjust fork positioning.
· Minimizing the use of fuel and lift wear.
· No need for the use of pallets when handling rectangular and square objects.
· Elimination of the need for pallets.
· Minimizing weight resulting in lower shipping costs.
· Better handling of rectangular and square objects.
· Minimizing handling time of white goods, electronics, and boxes.
· The reduction of loading and unloading time.
· Minimizing forklift maneuvering to load or unload.
· Reduction of fuel use and lift wear.

FCB Brazil returns to MIS with a parallel exhibit to "The World of Tim Burton" exhibit
Press Release - , 14 March 2016
São Paulo, March 14, 2016 – Advertising often uses strangeness to draw our attention. It uses the absurd to show a unique or unexplored perspective of various subjects. It's from this perspective that FCB Brazil presents the exhibit "Strangeness Attracts Us" at the Museum of Image and Sound (MIS), an institution of the São Paulo State Department of Culture.
The exhibit runs in tandem with the exhibit "The World of Tim Burton," which brings together around 500 pieces, including rarely or never-before-seen works of art and sketches, as well as paintings, storyboards and dolls featured in the extensive movie portfolio of Tim Burton, the master of strangeness.
"Tim Burton's body of work inspired us to look at advertising campaigns from the perspective that the strange can also draw attention and change (for the better) the behavior of millions. I have watched all of Tim's movies and have realized that there is a 'strange moralizing' standard that repeats itself countless times," explains Rui Piranda, Executive Creative Director at FCB and the event's curator.
Occupying two environments, the exhibit "Strangeness Attracts Us" features around 40 "strange" and "normal" advertising campaigns. The strange campaigns are affixed to a black wall, to take the consumer out of his/her comfort zone. For these, advertising fulfills a social role: shedding light on delicate issues from an unexplored angle and promoting a cause or rallying people around a greater purpose. Campaigns that used "normalcy" as a refuge from the hectic lives we lead are featured on a white wall.
A challenge unites both environments. Each week, an additional exhibit titled "Strange Is in the Eye of the Beholder" will feature ten photos submitted by visitors.
"This exhibit is of great interest to me. Every week, we will select ten photos that portray strangeness in the lives of everyday people. This is an opportunity to bring the agency closer to the final consumer. We live in a collaborative world, and it's important to bring this vision to light," concludes Piranda.
Since April 2015, FCB has been partnering with MIS with the goal of connecting with the city's culture and exploring the intimate relationship between communication and culture. FCB's debut was during the program "Photography May at MIS 2015," with an exhibit titled "Advertising in the Time of Vivian Maier," which ran in tandem with an exhibit on the American photographer's work.
"This is the second time we've partnered with MIS, and this project fills everyone at FCB with pride. In addition to creating an opportunity to reflect on what we do and how we impact people, we are sharing these thoughts on some of the most visited walls in São Paulo, those of the Museum of Image and Sound. Our goal is to have a lasting impact on the city's cultural life," says Pedro Cruz, COO and Chief Culture Officer at FCB Brazil.


I am so discouraged by what I see going on all around me at work. I have been a nurse for 25 years, and people just don't seem to care anymore. I love being a nurse, but I just don't see the leadership changing in this organization, so I feel the only option I have is to quit. What else can I do?
Most nurses are in their profession because they do care; about what they do and the people they serve. Changes to healthcare delivery have affected all healthcare professionals not only in what they do but how they do. You are only accountable for yourself and the choices you make. This may be the perfect time to focus on YOU. Get clear on what it is you want; reconnect with why you are a nurse and how important that is to you. All kinds of challenges and issues that you may be facing in your job and career could be affecting your thinking and lead to frustration and defeat. Zoom out from your busy life and get some context, and remind yourself that you are a valuable member of the healthcare team. You can make a difference as a force of one. You can lead by example and positively influence others around you. You can lead right where you are planted. Coaching may help you get clarity on where you are and discover where you want to be.

Why is Vestager hunting for corporate tax dodgers?
A fine of 13 billion euros ($ 14.5 billion), imposed on Apple for not paying taxes in Ireland, may become a precedent for further expansion of the list of large high-tech companies at fault.
Dominic Alves via flickr
This week, the European Commission (EC)competition authority demanded that Apple pays tax of 13 billion euros ($ 14.5 billion) in Ireland. Report of the European Commission states that Ireland has allowed the company to pay income taxes at an effective rate of 1%. This presumably was done to create favorable conditions for Apple in exchange for jobs for locals.
Irish Finance Minister Michael Noonan said that his country fundamentally disagrees with the European Commission's decision on Apple's tax issue. According to him, the company has fully paid taxes, and had no financial assistance from the government. Noonan promised to get permission from the Cabinet to appeal to European courts on the European Commission's decision.
Apple also raised objections, noting in a statement that the Commission made an attempt to rewrite company's European history, ignored the Irish tax legislation, and overturned the international tax system. The tech giant is going to appeal, and is confident that this decision will be reversed.
Yet, litigation normally takes many years. As it goes, Apple's activities may be noticed in other countries. In all events, Margrethe Vestager's policy states that governments of other European countries may require a portion of the 13 billion euros ($ 14.5 billion) fine, imposed by Apple for tax evasion in Europe.
Vestager is encouraging other countries to conduct an audit of other high-tech companies. Thus, France has already started checking Alphabet Inc. for uncollected taxes. Alphabet, of course, claims that all has been paid in full.
Amazon has an office in Luxembourg and Ireland, and it looks like it is coming up next. Jeff Bezos' company is suspected in siphoning off all European revenues through the Luxembourg office. The European Commission considered that, as in the case with Apple in Ireland, the Luxembourg authorities offered special conditions to the company. Amazon denies the allegation.
Many US multinational companies carefully select locations in Europe in order to minimize taxes. They are richer than any man, and countries compete with each other to attract them. Individual countries seek to lower corporate taxes, but when someone does it, others have no choice but follow the bad example.
An excellent example is the United Kingdom after the Brexit vote. Then, Finance Minister George Osborne said he would reduce the corporate tax by 5% (from 20% to 15%), in order to show UK's openness to investment. It seems that he was worried that, once the EU is out of the large block, London will be forced to make concessions to multinational corporations.
That said, is it really important to knock taxes out from corporations? After all, they create jobs and still give away some part of their income. How an ordinary citizen can benefit from this giant figures pronounced by the EC authorities?
Scale of potentially available resources is huge. Quick study of tax havens in 2009 shows that individuals derive from taxation $ 800 billion to $ 1 trillion annually. As for corporations, the figure is many times greater. This money would help pave many old roads, build schools and hospitals, subsidize social programs for those who are barely making ends meet. The benefit is obvious. Own short-term interests must not obscure long-term interests, aimed at the public good.
