The BENEFITS partners have organised a contest to propose an identity and brand for the project from January 15th to February 18th 2013.
In order to be allowed to participate, the only requirement was to be enrolled in any of the training programs offered at the universities of Greenwich or Exeter or CESI, and design a logo and a short text (4 words in English and 6 words in French) to brand the project.
The winner has been selected by a jury of 12 people (Benefits partners' staff members), whose decision was based on the following criteria: aesthetic quality, creativity and relevance of the caption, with no particular requirement re the colours. The key words were: innovation, entrepreneurship, equity, SMEs, social, competences, and territories development.
The winner was a student at Exeter University, William Selby, and has been awarded his prize (an iPad) on July 16th at Exeter during his graduation.

Rio Salinas Band
Cali Tex Mex Rock'n Blues
Rob Espinosa
Guitar & Vocals
At the age of 5, Rob became a 'musical prodigy' of sorts, studying under the tutelage of Dr. Lambert, the head of the music department at San Diego State University as his 'gifted' piano player. He played many recitals over a number of years at the University, performing all styles of classical music with musicians of all ages.
This worked great until 1968 when the Beatles released the song Daytripper and Rob knew that he had to play the guitar instead of the piano. Self taught in guitar, Rob joined The New Vaudeville Band in 1973, whose number one hit, Winchester Cathedral, was still drawing recognition. He toured extensively with the band until 1977.
Rob retired from the 'road life' to Chicago, working as a studio musician for Warner Brothers before settling in Boulder, Colorado, performing and also working as a radio DJ. In 1986, Burt Reynolds offered Rob a position at the Burt Reynolds Dinner Theater, entertaining and working as a liaison between Burt and his celebrity guests.
When the theater closed in 1987, Rob returned to his native California to join an international 'show band' where he performed, wrote sketches, and assisted as vocal director. During this time, Rob had the opportunity to play with such artists as Vince Gill, Glen Campbell, Tommy Smothers, Huey Lewis, Kenny G, the Gatlin Brothers and the late John Denver. Growing weary of the non-musical aspects of 'show band' life, Rob joined up with the Road Hogs in 1997, a premiere 'rock & funk' band in Santa Cruz, California.
In 1999, Rob was brought on as guitarist and vocalist for one of San Francisco's seminal classic rock bands, It's a Beautiful Day. The band's chart smashing single, White Bird, has enjoyed fame for many years following the psychedelic rock period of the late 60s scene. Rob continued to tour and perform with It's a Beautiful Day until 2014, where he had the opportunity to share the stage with Tom Constanten of the Grateful Dead and bands like Jefferson Starship, Big Brother & the Holding Company (of Janis Joplin fame), and Quicksilver Messenger Service. He also performed at the 40th Anniversary of the Monterey Pop Festival and the Isle of Wight Festival with Jeff Beck.
Today, Rob currently resides in San Luis Obispo and is proud to be able to bring his unique musical perspective to Rio Salinas.

Do you want to succeed in life? Then be a truthful person.
Be courageous to face the truth no matter how painful it may be. Don't rush to believe everything you hear no matter how reasonable it sounds.
The healing of the man in today's Gospel passage was a clear confirmation that God has come in the midst of men and that the words of Jesus regarding His identity are true. However, some persons tried to twist the truth and started spreading a rumour that Jesus was casting out demons by the prince of demons.
One would wonder what these liars and rumour mongers were hoping to gain in castigating Jesus.
Don't we see this same evil happening in our world today especially with the introduction of social media?
It is very sad how we who claim to be children of God, (we who say we are Christians; followers of Christ who is the Way, the Truth and the Life), would be aware of the truth, yet would still turn around to lie or spread false unverifiable rumours.
Do not generate falsehood and do not rush spread gossips especially when they damage other people's character. Even if these rumours were true, you do not make the world a better place by announcing evil. Lies are bad. Lies can destroy.
Upon hearing the rumour about him, Jesus was amazed at their reasoning and asked how can a kingdom be divided against itself and still hope to succeed? Light and darkness cannot exist in the same place at the same time. When the light comes, darkness must go because the light is stronger than darkness.
"When a strong man (referring to satan), fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are in peace; but when one stronger than him (that is, Jesus) assails him and overcomes him, he takes away his armour in which he trusted, and divides his spoil" (Luke 11:21-22). In other words, there are two separate kingdoms here. Satan may appear strong, but Jesus is stronger! Power pass power.
Just as there are two separate kingdoms, we cannot belong to both at the same time.
Just as satan cannot cast out satan, we cannot claim to belong to Jesus and still be involved in falsehood. We are either children of God or agents of darkness. Hence, Jesus concluded today saying: "He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters" (Luke 11:23).
We may claim to be Christians, we may even hold high positions in the Church but with falsehood still reigning in our lives, we are actually acting against Christ and scattering the flock of God's kingdom.
Let us Pray: Lord Jesus, help me remain committed to the truth, Amen!
Be Happy. Live Positive. Have Faith. It is well with you. God bless you. (Thursday of the 3rd week of Lent. Bible Study: Jeremiah 7:23-28, Psalm 95 and Luke 11:14-23).


Spindles are welded to the axle, so a do-it-yourself replacement may be out of the question for some trailer owners.
As you can imagine, lubrication around the spindle is critical to keep the bearings spinning and to prevent the hub from making contact with the spindle's surface. Grease caps normally do a fine job of keeping grease in place in typical towing conditions. However, on a trailer that's towed through sand or a regularly submerged boat trailer, for example, the grease -- even with properly installed grease caps -- can become contaminated or even washed away completely. That's why you must frequently inspect your spindles for signs of wear.
There are several reasons that you may need to install new spindles on your trailer. For instance, you might have to replace the spindles if your wheel bearings failed, or if your trailer was involved in an accident where the spindles were bent or cracked. Another situation where you may find yourself pondering new spindles is if you decided to build your own trailer axle or even your own complete trailer. After all, you simply can't pull a trailer down the road without spindles -- not very far, anyway.
There are very few bolt-on spindles available; in fact, most spindles are welded to the axle tube. Replacing a spindle requires breaking the existing weld and then welding the new spindle in place. Since welding axle components together probably falls outside of the comfort range of a lot of weekend mechanics, the installation of spindles in the typical homeowner's garage or driveway isn't very likely -- but it is possible.
By no means are we trying to discourage you from attempting a do-it-yourself installation of trailer axle spindles, but unless you're a skilled welder, this may be one of those jobs that are better left to the professionals. It's critical that spindles are properly aligned and secured to the axle. A licensed trailer repair facility should easily be able to install a new spindle or two. Remember, sometimes it may be worth the extra cost to save the time and frustration that can sometimes accompany a difficult (and unfamiliar) repair.

text: Q: publish an update only for specific versions of android? Is this possible to publish an update only for system versions above some API level? Say, I have an app with version 1.0, which have support from API 16 and then I want to release 1.1 update only for API 21 and above AND I want to keep 1.0 for older devices as well (so old version of my app will be visible on play store for old devices and new version will be visible for new devices). Is this possible in Google Play Dev Console?

NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ–The founder and editor of the city's bilingual community newspaper will be announcing his candidacy for Mayor in an event on the steps of City Hall later today.
Yesterday, Charlie Kratovil submitted over 125 signatures from New Brunswick residents who support his candidacy, more than enough to get his name on the November 6, 2018 general election ballot. Charlie's name will appear as an independent candidate above the slogan "Clean Up Brunswick," and he will make clean streets, clean water, and clean government his top priorities.
Charlie's candidacy marks the first electoral challenge to seven-term incumbent Mayor James Cahill since 2010, and Charlie is also the first independent candidate to challenge him since 2006. In addition to being the Mayor, Cahill runs a private law firm on the side, and has been in office since 1991 when he took over the Mayor position from his cousin, John Lynch, Jr.
"New Brunswick is a great city with tremendous potential, but the people here deserve a full-time Mayor who will be 100% focused on cleaning up our streets, our drinking water, and our local government," said Kratovil.
A resident of the city since 2004, Charlie graduated from Rutgers University has been giving back to the New Brunswick community for over a decade. He has worked as a community organizer with two respected non-profit organizations, The Citizens Campaign and Food & Water Watch. He also taught journalism students at Rutgers, volunteered as a staff member at nine different Model United Nations and Model Congress conferences, and served as Chairman of the Board of Directors for the Rutgers Student & Alumni Federal Credit Union.

Commentary: An Uplifting Community
VFS is the home for all who are interested in advancing vertical flight
By Mike Hirschberg, Executive Director
The Vertical Flight Society
From Vertiflite, September/October 2022
Whereas associations and other groups talk about the "helicopter industry" and the "vertical lift industry," the Vertical Flight Society — a technical, educational non-profit — is here for the "vertical flight community." We are not a trade association or a business league. We are the community of individuals, universities, companies and other organizations focused on the mission of advancing vertical flight.
There are no minimum requirements or qualifications to join VFS. We are a professional society where everyone who has an interest and passion for the science and technology of vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft and related fields is welcome — and hopefully made to feel welcome as well.
When I was a young engineer in the 1990s, what attracted me to what was then called the "American Helicopter Society" was the openness, friendliness and encouragement of the Society's members and staff. At the time, I felt like I was just some dumb kid who didn't know anything about helicopters — I was working on the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) propulsion system developments at the time — but fell in love with our members and the uplifting community.
The Society has always had a "big tent" philosophy: everyone was welcome, not just "American helicopter" engineers and scientists. It changed the name to "AHS International" in 1997 — with the tagline, "The Vertical Flight Society" — to emphasize that the Society welcomes everyone around the world who is interested in vertical flight, including tiltrotors, fixed-wing VTOL and drones. That tagline officially became our name in 2018 and we doubled down on this inclusive outlook.
My first exposures to "AHS" inspired me to get more involved then and continue to propel me today. It's that feeling of being welcomed that I hope all of our members not only feel themselves, but help to promote with their colleagues, other VFS members and others in the vertical flight community, to help engender this sense of belonging. VFS is the home for everyone.
VTOL Is Hard
I published my first ever article in the March/April 1997 issue of Vertiflite. The 20-page "V/STOL: The First Half-Century" included my update of the wheel of "V/STOL Aircraft and Propulsion Concepts" (www.vtol.org/wheel), describing the 45 vertical and/or short takeoff and landing (V/STOL) aircraft that had been built and tested to combine the vertical flight capabilities of a helicopter with the efficient cruise of a fixed-wing aircraft.
Around 1999, I gave a lecture at the University of Maryland on the V/STOL Wheel. World-renowned helicopter pioneer Prof. Alfred Gessow commented that there was never a mission where V/STOL made sense. I replied that the US Marine Corps disagreed.
Despite 50 years of developments, only the Harrier and the Soviet Yakovlev Yak-38 "Forger" had reached operational status. However, two controversial programs were underway at the time, the V-22 Osprey and JSF — now the F-35B Lightning II — which were declared operational in 2007 and 2015, respectively. Despite significant development issues, both have since been highly successful in service.
Similarly, today's novel configurations of electric VTOL (eVTOL) aircraft for advanced air mobility (AAM) missions face similar headwinds. When we first realized the transformative vertical flight capabilities of eVTOL in 2013, I would tell our members, "Based on everything you know, it's impossible [for eVTOL to be successful]. But based on everything you don't know, it's going to happen." Some of this, of course, was bravado, but after a decade of work, all the pieces are coming into place that should make the "Electric VTOL Revolution" successful.
The tireless efforts of many of the early startups and additional well-funded companies have resulted in dozens of large-scale flying demonstrators, and inspired hundreds of new companies and innovators. More than 700 eVTOL designs are now cataloged in our definitive World eVTOL Aircraft Directory (www.eVTOL.news/aircraft) with an average of one new concept added every other day.
While it's great that transformational vertical flight has inspired hundreds of innovative ideas, not all are backed by a solid grasp of physics, certification requirements, market needs and business plans. To paraphrase a well-known meme (misattributed to John Wayne): "VTOL is hard, but it's harder if you're ignorant."
But instead of dismissing all of these designers as starry-eyed dreamers, we should apply the same rigor as used in VFS meetings for technical paper presentations and most organizations for design reviews, etc. I often hear VFS members comment after a presentation with gentle comments like, "That's a good start, but have you looked at A, B and C?" or "You should consider X, Y and Z." That's what a community does when it's welcoming and interested in advancing vertical flight.
Too often we see dismissive commentators or snarky comments on social media. Let's not be them. Let's be affirming and supportive, and give critiques, not snarky criticism.
The pandemic, remote work and increasing online and physically disconnected interactions with faceless — and sometimes nameless or anonymized — individuals have reduced our professional and civil interaction skills. The hyper-polarization of politics and the cacophony of social media and the news media exacerbate the "us" and "them" divisiveness.
Our journal editors have started receiving unprofessional comments back from authors who disagree with their reviewers' assessments. Sometimes these are even ad hominem attacks. That's inappropriate and uncalled for in professional engagement. Perhaps in an attempt to convey strongly held convictions, the author thinks that they are still in a gray area, but they are not.
Unprofessional comments and negative behavior cause additional friction and entropy in society. We all should aspire to be the most positive contributor possible to our community, to be inspirational for our coworkers, current and potential colleagues, and the future vertical workforce.
We have a lot of disruptive ideas that can be considered and explored, and it is completely appropriate for probing technical discussions, but please maintain your professional decorum — be the lift that moves vertical flight forward, rather than dragging others down.
Workforce Inclusion
Over the past decade, advances in military and civil VTOL aircraft, technologies and approaches have led us here today, to what may be the most exciting time ever in vertical flight. Billions of dollars, euros, yuan, etc. are going into the development of advanced vertical flight aircraft, including the US Army's Future Vertical Lift, the European Union's Clean Sky 2 demonstrators, commercial rotorcraft, eVTOL/AAM programs, uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS), etc.
One of the defining challenges of this transitional period of vertical flight is the future vertical workforce. Scores of companies around the world are hiring dozens or hundreds of engineers and others in what has been dubbed a war for talent.
VFS has written a series of articles and Vertiflite Commentaries and conducted two studies on the subject (see www.vtol.org/workforce). Key takeaways are that the current talent pool is too small and the talent pipeline is not producing vertical flight engineers fast enough to meet demand.
One way to help ameliorate the shortfall is by purposefully working to create more inclusive environments (see "Changing the Face of the AAM Industry," Vertiflite, March/April 2022). Aerospace is one of the least diverse industries in the US — approximately 88% of aerospace engineers in America are men. Top US engineering schools struggle to approach 30% women entering undergraduate student bodies, and it goes downhill from there. Similarly, 72% of aerospace engineers are white, compared to 61% of the population. VFS has a number of programs under our DiversiFlite initiative (www.vtol.org/DiversiFlite) but we need everyone's help in providing a welcoming environment.
There is a huge gap in missing engineers — those who have been discouraged or excluded from pursuing (or remaining in) careers in engineering. Engineers are trained to look at the world and see problems that need to be solved and opportunities for improvement. We should apply the same approach to human resource issues.
The VTOL community is successful when we bring together a diversity of minds and attract the best talent.
One of the outcomes of the COVID-19 pandemic is that it caused employees to rethink their careers, work conditions and long-term goals, resulting in the "Great Resignation" (aka the "Great Reshuffle"). Let's be a community of choice for those wanting to join — or remain — in vertical flight.
Uplifting Our Community
VFS invites everyone to join the Society and help build the future. People of all skills, interests, backgrounds, races, ethnicities, genders and identities are welcome. Let's all work together to grow our community through uplifting outreach and affirming engagement.

Only In New York
Gay Rights Groups To Protest Stop-and-Frisk Policy in Jackson Heights
By Smriti Rao | June 6, 2012 5:12pm
@srao_dnainfo
Protesters march along Third Avenue on Jan. 27, 2012 to denounce the police policy of stop, frisk and question.
DNAinfo/Patrick Wall
JACKSON HEIGHTS—Gay rights groups in Queens plan to speak out against the NYPD's 'stop-and-frisk' policy during a rally in Jackson Heights Thursday.
The neighborhood is one of the top three in the city, along with East New York and Brownsville, with the highest number of stop-and-frisk instances, a DNAinfo.com New York has found. Some 18,000 stops were reported in Jackson Heights alone last year, Council Member Daniel Dromm's office said.
Members of the non-profit group Make The Road N.Y., which will be participating in Thursday's march, said the NYPD's practice, which they call discriminatory, had to end.
"Enough is enough, NYPD needs to end 'stop and frisk' practices that result in discrimination and false profiling towards Trans-gender Latin and other community members in Jackson Heights," Make the Road N.Y. said.
The 4 p.m. march is part of a larger effort by the LGBT community in New York to draw attention to the police's stop-and-frisk policy. On Tuesday, top LGBT organizations in the city met at the Stonewall Inn to announce their campaign against the policy.
A silent march has been planned for June 17 against racial profiling. That march is scheduled to kick off at 1 p.m. at 110th Street between Fifth and Lenox avenues, organizers said.
The NYPD's stopped-and-frisked almost 700,000 people last year—most of them black and Hispanic, a report by the NYCLU revealed.
But Mayor Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly have been vocal supporters of the program, arguing it has helped pushed the city's crime rate down to the lowest levels since 1990.

930-Guest Viking Orion is Named by Godmother Dr. Anna Fisher During a Celebration in Livorno, Italy
Godmother Dr. Anna Fisher, Monsignor Liberio Andreatta, Viking Chairman Torstein Hagen, Karine and Captain Anders Steen during the Naming Ceremony for the Viking Orion in Livorno, Italy.
Although WJ has not yet cruised on a Viking ocean ship, we have many friends and colleagues that have… and every one highly recommends the experience. The current four Viking ocean cruise ships (Viking Star, Viking Sea, Viking Sky and Viking Sun) are 47,800 tons, and can carry 930 guests in 465 staterooms. The fifth Viking ocean ship is Viking Orion which recently took her maiden voyage in the Mediterranean. This ship features a new NASA photo exhibit and immersive exploration program.
Read on for the latest details about Viking Orion…
Viking® named its fifth ocean ship, Viking Orion® during a spectacular celebration in Livorno, Italy. The ship was delivered to Viking last week and is currently sailing a maiden voyage with her ceremonial godmother, American chemist, emergency room physician and retired NASA astronaut Dr. Anna Fisher, along with dozens of Dr. Fisher's friends, family, academics, explorers and fellow astronauts. Named after the prominent constellation and in honor of Dr. Fisher's work on NASA's Orion exploration vehicle project, the 930-guest 47,800-ton Viking Orion arrived in Livorno early this morning. The ship will continue her maiden season sailing itineraries in the Western and Eastern Mediterranean this summer before heading east to sail Viking's newest itineraries in Asia, Australia and Alaska.
"Today is a proud day for the entire Viking family. Just three years ago we launched our first ocean ship, and now we are welcoming our fifth ship, whose name was selected to honor both the original Viking explorers who used the constellations for long-distance navigation, as well as the great space explorers of our time," said Torstein Hagen, Chairman of Viking. "We are grateful for Dr. Fisher's many contributions to the scientific community, and we are humbled that she is godmother to Viking Orion. The spirit of exploration is at the heart of the Viking way of travel, and we look forward to welcoming guests onboard our newest ship, which has been designed to offer opportunities for learning about the great history of space exploration."
Following her arrival this morning, Viking Orion was positioned alongside the city's historic Medici-built Fortezza Vecchia (Old Fortress). Livorno is known as a gateway to Tuscany, a region reached by the original Viking explorers. Nearby, Pisa is also known for its native Galileo Galilei – "The Father of Science" – whose gravitational theories and invention of the Galilean telescope have been central to advancements in oceanic navigation. It was at the Fortezza Vecchia that in 1662 students of Galileo held an experiment to test his projectile motion theory. Livorno – with its Fortezza Vecchia – was chosen specifically for Viking Orion's naming ceremony because of those connections to scientific studies and exploration. During the day today, Viking Orion guests and international dignitaries were treated to an interactive exhibit inside the Fortezza Vecchia that tells the stories of exploration technology throughout history – from the Vikings' solar compass to Galileo's gravitational and projectile motion experiments. The exhibit was designed and built specifically for Viking Orion's naming ceremony.
During the naming ceremony this evening, guests enjoyed a high-tech show and musical concert that paid tribute to Nordic mythology and the spirit of exploration. Legendary British explorer Sir Ranulph "Ran" Fiennes served as the narrator for the event, which also included musical performances from Italian tenor Antonio Corianò, Norwegian bukkehorn musician Sissel Morken Gullord and Norwegian singer Sissel Kyrkjebø, who is widely considered one of the world's top crossover sopranos and who will also be godmother to Viking Jupiter®, which debuts in early 2019.
Dr. Anna Fisher served as ceremonial godmother and offered a blessing of good fortune and safe sailing for Viking Orion – a naval tradition that dates back thousands of years. In keeping with the naming custom, Dr. Fisher also used an historic Viking broad axe to cut a ribbon that allowed a bottle of Norwegian aquavit to break on the ship's hull. The ship was officially blessed by Monsignor Liberio Andreatta. Mons. Liberio Andreatta has led Opera Romana Pellegrinaggi, an office of the Vicariate of Rome, an organ of the Holy See, reporting directly to the Cardinal Vicar of the Pope – and is the largest operator of pilgrim travel in the world. Staying true to shipbuilding tradition, Viking Orion has also been blessed by Father Dino Cecconi, the Chaplain of the Port of Ancona, at her float out ceremony in September 2017.
In addition to the naming ceremony, released today was "Finse Explores the Universe," the 14th book in the educational children's book series, "The World of Finse" (www.finse.me), which showcases the adventures of Viking Senior Vice President Karine Hagen's yellow Labrador, Finse. This newest book was written and published to coincide with the launch of Viking Orion to help inform children of our terrestrial world and beyond –and will be available for purchase on all Viking ships.
Dr. Anna Fisher, Godmother to Viking Orion
Born in New York City and raised in Southern California, Dr. Fisher holds bachelor's and master's degrees in chemistry, as well as a Doctor of Medicine degree, from the University of California, Los Angeles. Selected as an astronaut in January 1978, Dr. Fisher was one of the "original six" women accepted into NASA's Astronaut Training Program. Dr. Fisher became the first mother in space when she served as a mission specialist on STS-51A aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery, which launched on November 8, 1984. During her NASA career, which spanned more than three decades, Dr. Fisher contributed to three major initiatives: the Space Shuttle program, the International Space Station and Orion, NASA's new crew-rated exploration spacecraft. Prior to her retirement in April 2017, Dr. Fisher was also the oldest active American astronaut. In celebration of her retirement, Dr. Fisher sailed on Viking's Rhine Getaway itinerary in July 2017.
Viking Orion
Viking's ocean ships have a gross tonnage of 47,800 tons, have 465 staterooms and host 930 guests. Classified by Cruise Critic® as a "small ship," the all-veranda Viking Orion is the newest addition to Viking's award-winning ocean fleet, which also includes Viking Star®, Viking Sea®, Viking Sky®, and Viking Sun®.
In keeping with the inspiration for the ship's name, Viking Orion features several onboard experiences that pay tribute to space exploration:
The Explorers' Dome – Located in the upper level of the Explorers' Lounge on Deck 8, "The Explorers' Dome" is a planetarium-like theater where guests can view special panoramic films about exploration, such as "Journey to Space" and "Life Under the Arctic Sky" in a fully immersive environment.
Explorations in Space Collection – The interiors and art of Viking's ships honor early explorers, and on Viking Orion, the "Explorations in Space" collection is a homage to humankind's exploration beyond the confines of planet Earth. The onboard collection is conceived as a photographic journal through space, with a broad range of vintage photographs, including astronaut portraits and documents of complex mission activities, produced by NASA and captured by National Geographic photographers and the Apollo and Gemini astronauts themselves.
Viking Resident Astronomer – Building on the success of the Viking Resident Historian program, Viking Orion is the first ship in the fleet to feature a Viking Resident Astronomer. Howard Parkin, a Royal Astronomical Society Fellow and founding member of the IOM Astronomical Society, will lead lectures and stargazing sessions onboard Viking Orion during her maiden season throughout 2018.

The Viking Difference
Designed for discerning travelers with interests in history, art, music and cuisine, Chairman Torstein Hagen often says Viking offers guests "the thinking person's cruise" as an alternative to mainstream cruises. Ships are small to get guests closer to their destination, with more time in port and more overnights. On board, guests find serene Scandinavian spaces, where every room is both beautiful and functional, quiet and filled with light. With the most al fresco dining opportunities at sea, featuring regional cuisines and always-available American classics, Viking's guests can truly dine in their destination. A focus on cultural enrichment brings immersive experiences ashore and on board. And only The Viking Way of Exploration provides guests with itineraries that feature Local Life, Working World and Privileged Access experiences.
In addition, Viking offers the best value at sea, with each cruise fare including much more than what competitors offer—an included value of more than $200 per person per day for an average cruise. Every cruise fare includes a veranda stateroom, a complimentary shore excursion in each port of call, all onboard meals, and all port charges and government taxes. Guests also enjoy many complimentary amenities as part of their fare, including: beer and wine with lunch and dinner service; alternative restaurant dining; Wi-Fi; self-service laundry; access to the Thermal Suite in the LivNordic Spa; and 24-hour room service.

Q: One-to-many relationship mapping: Cannot add or update a child row: a foreign key constraint fails I'm making my mapping of a simple database structure, but can't figure out what is wrong. I got a one to many relationship between Company and User. One company can have many users. In the database structure it is a non-identifing relationship and the companyID on the users side is optional (in my db and in my entity).
Here is my code:
User Entity
public class User
    {
        public int userID { get; set; }
        public int? companyID { get; set; }

        public virtual Company Company { get; set; }
    }

Company Entity
public class Company
{

    public int companyID { get; set; }
    public virtual ICollection<User> Users { get; set; }
}

Mapping Context
   public class FreelauncherContext : DbContext
   {
    public IDbSet<User> Users { get; set; }
    public DbSet<Role> Roles { get; set; }
    public DbSet<Company> Companies { get; set; }

    protected override void OnModelCreating(DbModelBuilder modelBuilder)
    {
        modelBuilder.Conventions.Remove<PluralizingTableNameConvention>();

        /*************USERS**************/
        modelBuilder.Entity<User>().HasKey(t => t.userID);
        modelBuilder.Entity<User>().ToTable("user", "freelauncher");
        modelBuilder.Entity<User>().Property(t => t.companyID).HasColumnName("company_id");
        modelBuilder.Entity<User>().HasOptional(t => t.Company).WithMany(t => t.Users).HasForeignKey(t => t.companyID);
        /*************COMPANY**************/
        modelBuilder.Entity<Company>().HasKey(t => t.companyID);
        modelBuilder.Entity<Company>().ToTable("company", "freelauncher");
     }

As I don't see any mistakes here, I have been searching for errors in my database but i cannot find any...
Any suggestions please?
Edit
When i remove the relationship and id related with the relationship and execute the insert, there are no errors and the insert is saved

A: In the entity User the optional int of companyID, I changed that line to ==>
    public Nullable<int> companyID { get; set; }

I can't explain what difference it makes, but now it works perfectly


If you believe in good government, you might well be conflicted about Amazon's attempts to use a referendum to block new legislation requiring sales tax collections on online purchases.
Amazon should get its referendum. And it should lose it.
It's unlikely to turn out that way, because of politics and the state constitution.
Let's break down both pieces of this.
First, the referendum. The use of this direct democratic tool is relatively rare in California, where we prefer the initiative. An initiative is a new law or constitutional amendment that is put on the ballot to circumvent the legislature. A referendum is a ballot measure asking voters whether they wish to block an act of the legislature.
Referendums are thus a healthy check on the legislature. (Initiatives, which circumvent the legislature and the budget process and all norms of accountability, can sow chaos and aren't so healthy). But California makes referendums very hard. There are just 90 days to gather signatures, which makes qualifying the measures very difficult (an initiative law requies the same number of signatures but allows for 150 days). And rules prevent many kinds of legislation -- including laws related to the budget and taxation -- from being reversed by referendum.
It may be that the legislation requiring online retailers to collect sales tax is not legally subject to referendum. There are different opinions on this, and a court may well have to decide. It's quite possible that Amazon won't get its referendum.
But if the company is lucky enough to qualify a referendum and withstand legal challenges, it's likely to win and reverse the tax. It's hard to imagine Californians voting to may more on what they purchase on line. (Californians already are required to pay use tax on these purchases themselves, but almost no one complies).
So a successful referendum would be good politics -- but bad policy, since why should on-line retailers have a leg up on California's brick-and-mortar retailers.

What is Backup and Restore, types of backup, archiving this is what I am going to explain you in details in Hindi.
Backup is a process of copying or archiving files and folders for the purpose of being able to restore them in case of data loss.
Data loss can happen in many ways like hardware\software failure or due to any disaster or catastrophic events.
There might be chances where we feel like the data we have stored might become corrupt, recently the WannaCry ransomware attacks created an havoc by encrypting the files of computer and asking for ransome.
Restore is a process to copying the backed up files to the original or different location.
There are many types of backup generally you can consider if you want to learn it more technically however main four types of backup I will explain to you.
Full Backup : Full backup is the complete backup of the system.
Incremental Backup : is the backup of the files and folders which has been changed since from last backup.
Differential backup : is the backup of the files and folders changed since from last full backup.
Backup Schedule : is the regular time or day in which backup job runs.
Backup Window : is the time in which backup need to be completed.
Retention Period : is the duration of time for which the backup need to be stored.
How Does the Internet Work this is what I am going to explain you step by step in Hindi.
We use internet on regularly basis now a days the internet has become lifeline of everything in this world.
However very few people know that actually how does it work. It's not very difficult to understand that how does it work, let me tell you in easiest way.
The main points we would like to know before going to understand this topic are what is IP address, server, DNS server, router etc. which I have already explained in details in my earlier videos.
Internet is basically an open platform where information in terms of data is exchange among different computers at the speed of light.
Every computer\server has a unique ip address, when an information is requested with the help of internet browser, the request is sent to the particular website name which is ultimately resolves by the DNS servers which you can say hosts the IP address or unique address to their names.
Now after reaching the DNS server the requests know the correct server IP from where it will get the relevant information it reaches the server which hosts the information and gets it in the form of Data which is subdivided in the form of packets with having requestor address written over top of them. Through different routes the packets travel and reaches the requestor computer where the data is accumulated and shown on the internet browser.

Marta Springer ('19) drives the ball against Wheaton College on Sept. 15. Luther lost 1-0, repeating the game they had against Wheaton in the 2017-18 season.
The Luther Women's Soccer team lost 1-0 to Wartburg College on Oct. 13. The final score was 1-0, giving Luther a record of 3-2 in the American Rivers Conference and an overall record of 3-7-3.
Luther's defense stopped eight Wartburg shots on goal throughout the game, only allowing one shot through during the 28th minute. The Norse were unable to respond. Of their nine shots, none were on target. In the end, the Norse lost a close game to their competitors.
While the game may not have ended in Luther's favor, according to defensive center midfield player Lizzy DePrenger ('20), the loss was not entirely negative.
Luther's Norse and Wartburg's Knights are known to have a bit of a rivalry when it comes to athletic competition. According to current team manager Hannah Dodd ('21), this rivalry does not affect the team too much.
According to Head Women's Soccer Coach Russ Schouweiler, the women have faced some exceptionally tough competition this year, but he values the difficulty of close games that only helped the players improve.
According to Schouweiler, as much as the Norse want to win every game, that is not their overall goal.
Hannah Dodd ('21) kicks the ball in a game against Buena Vista on Sept. 29. Luther won 2-0.
Since this tough loss, the Norse have gone on to win their two most recent conference games. Dodd hopes to continue this streak as the season comes to an end.
After the loss to Wartburg and their updated conference standing, the Norse were poised for a fourth place tie.
Luther secured a 1-0 victory over the University of Dubuque on Tuesday, Oct. 23. The winning goal came on an assist off a corner kick from Sommer Stevens ('19) and a goal by Marta Springer ('19) in the 12th minute of play. Goalie Kennedy Bergren ('21) blocked a penalty kick from Dubuque, ensuring the shutout and the win. With the victory, the Norse locked their position as third place in the conference as they now have a 4-2 standing. The first round of the ARC Tournament will take place on Saturday, Oct. 27.

Have you been noticing your dog constantly scratching or licking himself? Does he always rub himself up against furniture? Is he excessively losing hair? Then it's very likely your dog is suffering from dry skin. In this article, we will show you how to treat dry skin on dogs.
Many pet owners tend to dismiss dry skin on dogs as something insignificant. But it can be a source of disappointment for our canine friends. Dry skin is uncomfortable and itchy for dogs. Aside from licking or scratching himself, a dog with dry skin may also bite himself which can lead to injury. Moreover, it could indicate the presence of a more serious health problem like hypothyroidism which needs urgent medical attention.
Apart from constant scratching, symptoms associated with canine dry skin are flaking, scaling, hair loss and inflammation. It is also possible for dogs with dry skin to have an unpleasant odor and overly oily.
The good news is that you don't need to spend a lot of money to treat your furry pal's dry skin problems. Continue reading as we list down three of the best, all-natural dog dry skin remedies.
As we will touch on three all-natural ways to treat dry skin on dogs, we will break down our tutorial into three parts.
The ground oatmeal bath is proven effective in providing immediate relief to dry skin. Oat is known for its ability to normalize the pH levels of dry skin, softening and moisturizing it in the process according to the American Academy of Dermatology.
1. Add oatmeal - Put a cup of whole wheat oatmeal to a blender. Blend well or until the oatmeal is finely grinded.
2. Add water - Pour warm water in a large bucket. Add the crushed oatmeal and stir it with a stick.
3. Bathe your dog - Lead your dog into the tub and let him soak for at least five minutes. If he won't sit still, you can pour the oatmeal mix into his coat and skin then rub it in.
4. Rinse him well - Rinse your pet then dry him with a towel. Brush his hair. You may also brush his hair to remove dead skin.
ExpertVillage has a YouTube video that you can watch to guide you on the proper way of giving your dog a ground oatmeal bath.
The Epsom salt bath is another natural way of treating dry and itchy skin on dogs. Epsom salt is considered an effective dog dry skin remedy. A natural exfoliant, it is also known treating dry skin in humans that it is often added to bath soak in most spas.
1. Fill a tub with water - Fill the tub with enough water for your pet to soak his entire body.
2. Add Epsom salt - Add a cup of Epsom salt for every gallon of water. Using a large wooden spoon, stir in the Epsom salt until it dissolves.
3. Bathe your dog - Bring your dog into the Epsom salt bath and allow him to soak. Provide him with treats if necessary to persuade him to stay still.
4. Let him soak - Soak him in the bath for at least 10 minutes.
5. Rinse well - Rinse him well with fresh water to remove all the salt off his skin and fur.
6. Dry him - Bring him out of the Epsom salt bath. Using a towel, dry him well. Avoid rubbing the skin as this may cause irritation. Do it regularly. Repeat this twice a day until the dry and itchy skin has been healed.
Here's a good YouTube video to watch if you're still unsure how to give an Epsom salt bath to your furry friend.
Finally, using apple cider vinegar (ACV) to rinse your dog after a bath is also an effective way of controlling dry and itchy skin.
1. Prepare the ACV rinse solution - Mix one part ACV to five parts water in a bowl.
2. Bathe your dog - Wash your dog using his vet-recommended shampoo.
3. Rub - Before rinsing your dog, use the ACV solution. Massage it well on his skin and fur. Be careful as you don't want the ACV to get into his eyes.
4. Rinse - Give him a quick rinse with fresh water to remove the vinegar scent.
5. Dry - Dry your pet with a towel once he is rinsed. Squeeze excess water out of his fur.
Dog dry skin may not be the most serious canine health condition but it can cause a lot of discomfort to your pet. Dry skin can be very itchy and could lead to injury. It may also result in hair loss.
Fortunately for many canine lovers, dog dry skin can easily be treated with all-natural solutions like Epsom salt bath, apple cider vinegar rinse and ground oatmeal bath. As you have learned from reading the tutorials above, using these all-natural dog dry skin remedies is easy to pull off.
Whether you opt to use Epsom salt or ground oatmeal for his next bath or you decide to give him an apple cider vinegar rinse, you can be assured that your pet will gain immediate relief from the discomfort and itchiness associated with dog dry skin.

Me too lobster is my favorite. When I'm at restaurants or hotel I usually ask if they serve lobster. Thank you for sharing this with us.
I fully support reduce waste food, but with this model, today I just have a dinner here noticed that there are labour intensive, you need alot of waiters and cooks to prepare and serve, I saw my food has been prepared and leave it at the counter for 20mins, no waiter serve it.
Once finished, there are alot of empty plates on the table, waiter are rushing here and there to serve and clear plates, pls bare in mind that, the whole restaurant not even 50% full. Disappointed.
Personally think that you are not ready for this model.

La Embajada de España en Trinidad y Tobago es la máxima representación legal del Reino de España en la República de Trinidad y Tobago. También está acreditada desde 2007 en Guyana y en los estados insulares de Granada, San Vicente y Granadinas y Barbados, además, esta acreditada en Surinam (2010) y Santa Lucía en 2011.

Embajador

El actual embajador es Javier Carbajosa Sánchez, quien fue nombrado por el gobierno de Mariano Rajoy el 21 de abril de 2017.

Misión diplomática

El Reino de España posee sólo un edificio de representación en el país, la embajada en la ciudad costera de Dar es-Salam, creada en 1967. La ciudad tanzana fue capital del país desde 1963 hasta 1974 cuando se decidió trasladar la capital a Dodoma, en el interior del país, no obstante las embajadas de los países acreditados en Tanzania siguen ubicadas en la antigua capital. Además, España esta acreditada en Ruanda, Burundi y, desde 2006, en la isla de Zanzíbar a través de tres consulados honorarios.

Historia

España inició relaciones diplomáticas con Trinidad y Tobago en 1967, pero los asuntos dependían de la embajada española en Venezuela. Esta situación se prolongó en el tiempo hasta 2006 cuando se creó la misión diplomática residente y que, en su área, abarca varias islas caribeñas y parte del continente americano.

Demarcación

La embajada española de Trinidad y Tobago está acreditada en las países insulares del área caribeña y en América del Sur:

República Cooperativa de Guyana: las relaciones diplomáticas se iniciaron en 1986 con el nombramiento de un Embajador residente en Kingston (Jamaica) hasta que en 1988 pasaron a depender de la Embajada española en Caracas. En 2007 el país sudamericano pasó a depender de la Embajada española en Puerto España.

Granada: la isla caribeña de Granada fue adscrita en 1986 a la demarcación de Jamaica con el nombramiento del primer embajador no residente acreditado ante las autoridades de Granada. Finalmente en 2007 las relaciones diplomáticas quedaron dentro de la demarcación de Puerto España.

San Vicente y Granadinas: las relaciones entre ambos países arrancan en 1987 con embajadores no residentes con sede en Kingston. En 2007 el país insular fue asignado a la Embajada española en Puerto España.

Barbados: en 1986 se establecieron relaciones diplomáticas con Barbados adscrito, como muchas islas caribeñas, a la Embajada española en Jamaica. Finalmente, en 2007 junto con San Vicente y Granadinas, Granada y Guyana fueron asociados a la embajada española en Trinidad y Tobago para formar la demarcación.

República de Suriname: en 1990 España inició las relaciones diplomáticas a nivel de embajadores con Surinam nombrando un embajador no residente. Las relaciones quedaron asignadas a la Embajada española en Caracas hasta el 2010 cuando pasaron a la demarcación de Trinidad y Tobago.

Santa Lucía: en 1987 el gobierno español estableció relaciones diplomáticas con el nombramiento del embajador no residente con sede en Jamaica. En 2011 el país caribeño fue incluido en la demarcación de Trinidad y Tobago.

We Need To Change For a Better World
Pamela Okutoyi
These transformations can come about through coordinated action by governments, businesses, communities, civil society, and individuals. Source: clearion.com
Achieving human well-being and eradicating poverty for all of the Earth's people is still possible, but only if there is a fundamental – and urgent – change in the relationship between people and nature, and a significant reduction in social and gender inequalities between and inside countries.
Creating economic growth just by increasing the consumption of material goods is no longer a viable option at the global level. The global use of materials is set to almost double by 2060 from 89 Gigatons to 167 Gigatons, which correspondingly increased levels of greenhouse gas emissions and other toxic effects such as those from mining and other pollution sources.
The present model of development has delivered prosperity to hundreds of people. However, it has also led to continuing poverty and other deprivations; unprecedented levels of inequality that undermine innovation, social cohesion, and sustainable economic growth; and it has brought the world close to tipping points with the global climate system and biodiversity loss. To change the narrative, the world must transform several key areas of human activities, including food, energy, consumption and production and cities.
These transformations can come about through coordinated action by governments, businesses, communities, civil society, and individuals. Science has a particularly vital role to play – a role that can be further strengthened by increasing investment in science for sustainability and in natural and social science institutions based in developing countries.
Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) fundamentally requires decoupling economic growth from environmental degradation, while at the same time, reducing social and gender inequalities in wealth, income and access to opportunities.
As not all countries are starting from the same place, research says that higher levels of growth will continue to be needed in poorer countries, to ensure quality social services and infrastructure, at the same time stressing that growing first and cleaning up later is not an option.
The extensive transformation that is needed will not be easy. A deep scientific understanding is needed to anticipate and mitigate the tensions and tradeoffs inherent in widespread structural change. For instance, those losing jobs in the shift away from fossil fuels and other industries at odds with a sustainable future should be supported towards alternative livelihoods.
Strong political will and commitment are required to make the needed transformations, that there are no one-size-fits-all solutions. The interventions in developed countries will look very different from those in developing countries.
The food system must undergo widespread changes to the infrastructure, cultural and societal norms and policies that are supporting the current, unsustainable, status quo. At present, approximately 2 billion people suffer from food insecurity and 820 million people are undernourished. At the same time, overweight rates are growing in almost all regions of the world, with global members reaching 2 billion overweight adults and 40 million children under the age of five.
The energy system must also change to close the energy access gap. Close to 1 billion people are without access to electricity, predominantly in Sub-Saharan Africa. More than 3 billion people rely on polluting solid fuels for cooking, causing an estimated 3.8 million premature deaths each year. These gaps must be addressed, while at the same time increasing energy efficiency and phasing out of fossil-based power generation without carbon capture and storage, so that the world economy is decarbonized, in line with aspirations of the Paris Agreement.
Developing countries need to take advantage of science in advancing sustainable development. Universities, policymakers, and research funders must increase support to research guided by the 2030 Agenda. Simultaneously, researchers in sustainability science and other disciplines must work together to solve development problems and strengthen the science-policy-society interface, providing society and policy-makers information they can use to solve development problems.

The Imperfect Art of Caring
By: Jessica Ryn
Narrated by: Rebecca Cooper
Violet Strong is strong by name but not by nature, or so she thinks. She listens but never talks about herself. She's friendly but doesn't have many real friends. She's become good at keeping people at a distance ever since she left home at 18 and never looked back. But when Violet is forced to return home to care for her estranged mother, Glenys, she quickly finds out that life as a carer isn't easy.

Meet Me at Pebble Beach
By: Bella Osborne
Regan is holding a winning lottery ticket. Good-bye to the boyfriend who never had her back, and so long to the job she can't stand! Except it's all a bit too good to be true. When Regan gets pranked, she finds herself jobless, homeless and boyfriend-less in one fell swoop. Luckily her friendly seaside community provides a beacon of hope, proving to Regan that sometimes you really can rely on the kindness of others - and one local in particular, a handsome Fireman called Charlie, helps Regan realise that this could be her chance for a fresh start.

October, 1946. The Red Cross escort a group of child refugees from Europe to England. Among them is Brigitta - a serious, silent figure with worn clothes and a small cardboard suitcase containing a single grey glove. Arriving in London, Brigitta breaks from the group and runs. Brigitta's mission: to reach Summerland Hall and find the one person who can solve a wartime mystery. But Summerland holds secrets and shadows of its own...and perhaps the key to a new life and new beginnings. An extraordinarily rich tale of love, prejudice, truth and forgiveness, inspired by real events.
Nevertheless She Persisted
By: Jon Walter
Clara and Nancy, two sisters working in Holloway Prison in 1913, find themselves face to face with imprisoned suffragettes: women fighting for the same freedoms they want for themselves. Soon Nancy is drawn to one inmate in particular - the enigmatic 'Duchess' - and decides to follow her into the fight. But Clara is torn by the very laws her sister has chosen to try to change. She's fallen in love, and yet marriage would mean giving up the job she loves and losing her independence forever. How can she possibly choose between the two sides of her heart and not lose a part of herself?

About Carly Silberman, Farm Chef: Butternut squash and arugula are two ingredients Carly simply cannot live without. Her love for Growing Gardens began nearly a decade ago when she discovered the incredible plant sale. She continues to shop here for her home garden starter plants every year since. After receiving her bachelor's degree in education at SUNY Geneseo, this east coaster transplanted west and attended the Art Institute of Colorado Culinary School. Originally trained as a pastry chef, not a day goes by that she doesn't consume chocolate. Carly expanded her cooking knowledge working for Big Red F Restaurant Group and Dish Gourmet. Her professional experiences have spanned baking, restaurant management, event planning, catering, sales and marketing of local food products, cooking class instruction and personal cheffing. As Growing Gardens' Farm Chef, Carly is thrilled to teach all ages in our community about creating beautiful foods from the array of fruits and vegetables that grow in our climate. Preparing delicious food on the table is equally as important as the people that you choose to share it with. While Carly loves to cook for, and dine with, people, she is most excited to pass onto others 'how to' techniques, recipes and traditions in preparing healthy, clean foods for themselves and others.
