The EU-funded maritime digitalisation project EfficienSea2 has drawn to a close, with the final conclusions from the three-year project presented to stakeholders at a final conference in Copenhagen.
Leadership of the Maritime Connectivity Platform (MCP), developed as part of the EfficienSea2 digital navigation support programme in Europe, is to be passed over to the Korean SMART Navigation Project following the completion of the final EfficienSea2 conference in Copenhagen in April.
The Efficiensea 2 project has begun tests of a new digital 'Under Keel Clearance Service' to support mariners in assessing the impact of tidal levels and weather on passage plans that include shallow water.
Vissim and the Finnish Transport Agency, backed by the EU-funded EfficienSea2 project, have partnered on a digital route sharing mechanism to allow different VTS systems in the Baltic to efficiently share information.
The IALA (International Association of Marine Aids to Navigation and Lighthouse Authorities) Council has adopted a new specification guideline for digital services in the maritime domain, based on input from the EfficienSea2 project led by the Danish Maritime Administration.
The first full sea trials of the Maritime Connectivity Platform (MCP), created via a partnership between the EfficienSea2 and STM Validation projects in Europe and the Korean SMART Navigation Project, have been successfully completed with a demonstration of the technology in Korea.
The team behind the Maritime Cloud project, a joint initiative of three global e-Navigation projects, has decided to change the name of its information exchange network to the Maritime Connectivity Platform (MCP), to more accurately describe its objectives as it moves from testbed to real life implementation.
The European project Efficiensea2 has joined forces with Royal Arctic Line to complete the first-ever test of how space weather in the Arctic region influences the full range of a vessel's communication channels.
The EU's EfficienSea2 project has announced that it is testing a system for digitalising Navigational Warnings that it intends to propose as a global standard, based on the International Hydrographic Organization's (IHO) S-124 draft standard for Navigational Warnings.


64-bit is theoretically able to address over 17 million gigabytes of ram, as opposed to the meager 4 GB that 32-bit can theoretically address.
After "Gigabyte" there is the "Terabyte" which is 1024 times the size of a Gigabyte. After Terabyte comes Petabyte, which is 1024 times the size of a Terabyte. After Petabyte comes Xabyte, which is 1024 times the size of a Petabyte.
Thanx Erikals! I give it a try.
Just a warning this application is patching the exe to enable it to use the max amount of memory in those 32 bit programs. Remember that this can cause issues especially with various DRM schemes and quite possibly crashes in the program itself, so always make a backup of the exe you are modifying and do a thorough test of it if you plan on using it for any production.
It's been said that with a 64-bit computer system you can address "twice the amount of info" than on a 32-bit system.
Whoever said this had no idea what they were talking about.
(2^32 x 2) < 2^64 by orders of magnitude.


Listening carefully to what people tell you, convinced that their voice is the most important element in their own development and solution of life's problems.
When trying to help disadvantaged people, never presume that you know their needs: ask them what these needs are and what type of help they want. What pernicious attitude exists in each one of us that prevents us from offering genuine help to a fellow-man and which attentive listening seeks to eradicate ?


PET dogs and cats could be banned from North Stradbroke Island, according to a draft resolution proposed by government and community groups.
INJURED: A domestic dog attack victim from North Stradbroke Island.
The proposal by 17 groups has drawn strong criticism after being leaked via a shop noticeboard and on social media.
Cr Peter Mitchell called for "cool heads" in response and said council had no plans to ban dogs on Minjerrabah.
The proposal was in a discussion document of the North Stradbroke Island Land, Pest and Animal Management Working Group.
The leaked document says that in six months from October last year there had been at least 24 incidents of domestic dog attacks on kangaroos, wallabies and koala, resulting in 23 deaths.
"The camping on Main Beach was closed for several weeks due to activities of rogue domestic dogs," it says.
"There were also dog attacks on two children and one adult and reports of dog intimidation.
Quandamooka Yoolooburrabee Aboriginal Corporation chief executive Cameron Costello said a pet ban had been discussed before.
"For us this has reached an extreme situation," he said.
Mr Costello said the draft resolution was part of an internal email that requested working group members to comment by April 27.
"It wasn't a public notice," he said.
The document says the group agreed on March 20 to work towards phasing out domestic dogs and cats on the island.
An online petition started by Kylie Walmsley opposing a ban had more than 1300 signatures within four days.
She said locals were in favour of protecting wildlife but pets were a part of the family and owning them was a basic human right.
She said many tourists brought pets to the island.
Ms Walmsley suggested a higher pound presence to ensure pets were not roaming without their owners, checks to ensure pets were registered with council and mandatory desexing.
"This issue is one the community will not take lightly," she said.
Mr Costello said organisations, government agencies and council were part of the working group which had been meeting for years.
They have been involved in fox eradication programs and wildlife signage on the island.
Mr Costello said a ban on pets would require council to amend laws.
He hoped there was another solution but said the situation needed to change.
"As responsible landowners with a legal responsibility, we cannot just sit back and do nothing," he said.
Mr Costello said the working group acknowledged that most people were responsible pet owners but wildlife could be attacked even in back yards.
"Even when people are 100 per cent responsible there will still be impacts on native wildlife.
Discuss "Pet dogs and cats could be banned from Straddie"

Di Grassi to join Mortara at Venturi
Home Formula E Breaking News
ROKiT Venturi Racing
Formula E- Lucas di Grassi will be continuing with Formula E as he has been announced at Venturi alongside Edoardo Mortara for season 8.
As the longest serving driver in Formula E, di Grassi started as the series' test and development driver helping to create the Gen1 car, before joining Abt and is now one of only two drivers, the other being Sam Bird, to have competed in every Formula E race since the series' debut around Beijing in September 2014, and the only one to do that with the same team as the Brazilian's move to Venturi will be his first team swap in Formula E.
Starting with Abt in season one and continuing with the team as Audi took the reins, di Grassi was very vocal in his desire to continue with the all-electric championship after, late last year, Audi announced their departure and shift of focus back to Le Mans and to the Dakar Rally.
With seven seasons of experience under his belt and having won a championship and taken 12 wins from his 33 podium finishes, di Grassi would be a valuable asset to any team and Venturi can only benefit from adding his knowledge to theirs.
"Anyone who knows me know how competitive I am," said di Grassi. "Driving for a team that I know can fight at the front and really challenge for the championship is essential for me. ROKiT Venturi Racing was simply the best choice and I'm really happy to be part of the team. I've followed Venturi since Season 1 and I know that they have a strong history in Monaco. The team performed very, very well last season.
"You can see that the team has progressed a lot in recent years, the momentum is really there and they have shown clear improvements in every area. Edo had a fantastic season, really strong, he was fighting for the title until the very end and there were many times over the season that I was racing both Venturi cars and I could see how competitive they were."
Rokit Venturi Racing's Team Principal, Susie Wolff, feels that with the team's progress, di Grassi's expertise, and the driver line-up they have that the team are in a very positive place.
"Last season we demonstrated that we have a strong package," said Wolff. "There were many highlights throughout the season starting with a podium and finishing with a win. Edo showcased to everyone what we have known all along – that he's a World Championship contender. Moving forward to Season 8, Edo is joined by Lucas – a proven Formula E Championship winner who also brings a wealth of experience.
"They will push each other and drive us forward as a team. To have both cars scoring points in every race is essential for us for the Team's Championship and with our new driver line-up, there's a lot to feel optimistic about heading into Season 8."
Interestingly, both of the Brazilian's wins this season were shared with his Venturi teammate-to-be, Mortara. And di Grassi is looking forward to being back in a team with the Swiss driver after both had been in the Audi drivers program previously.
"It's not just about the team though," di Grassi added. "I'm really happy to drive alongside Edo, we've known each other for a very long time, we [were] part of the Audi program together, I respect him as a driver, as a human – he's a very talented driver and a great character, I think we're going to work really well together."
Mortara himself is equally enthused with the prospect of working with di Grassi and after Venturi had their strongest season in the series, with Mortara being in contention for the inaugural World Championship title as he headed into the final race. Despite not making it further than a few metres in the finale, the Swiss ended as runner up in the title fight.
"I'm really happy to be continuing with the team," Mortara said. "And it's a pleasure to welcome Lucas to the family. We had a very strong season this year, my best so far in Formula E which was also testimony to the hard work of the team around me. We're on good trajectory and we want to maintain that moving forward.
"Competing against Lucas in the past he has always been extremely competitive and he's very good when it comes to energy management – one of the most critical points to being successful in Formula E. The progress we made in Season 7 was great but there is still plenty to do and I'm looking forward to seeing what we can achieve together."

"Humane: How the United States Abandoned Peace and Reinvented War"
New from Farrar, Straus and Giroux: Humane: How the United States Abandoned Peace and Reinvented War by Samuel Moyn.
A prominent historian exposes the dark side of making war more humane
In the years since 9/11, we have entered an age of endless war. With little debate or discussion, the United States carries out military operations around the globe. It hardly matters who's president or whether liberals or conservatives operate the levers of power. The United States exercises dominion everywhere.
In Humane: How the United States Abandoned Peace and Reinvented War, Samuel Moyn asks a troubling but urgent question: What if efforts to make war more ethical—to ban torture and limit civilian casualties—have only shored up the military enterprise and made it sturdier? To advance this case, Moyn looks back at a century and a half of passionate arguments about the ethics of using force. In the nineteenth century, the founders of the Red Cross struggled mightily to make war less lethal even as they acknowledged its inevitability. Leo Tolstoy prominently opposed their efforts, reasoning that war needed to be abolished, not reformed—and over the subsequent century, a popular movement to abolish war flourished on both sides of the Atlantic. Eventually, however, reformers shifted their attention from opposing the crime of war to opposing war crimes, with fateful consequences.
The ramifications of this shift became apparent in the post-9/11 era. By that time, the US military had embraced the agenda of humane war, driven both by the availability of precision weaponry and the need to protect its image. The battle shifted from the streets to the courtroom, where the tactics of the war on terror were litigated but its foundational assumptions went without serious challenge. These trends only accelerated during the Obama and Trump presidencies. Even as the two administrations spoke of American power and morality in radically different tones, they ushered in the second decade of the "forever" war.
Humane is the story of how America went off to fight and never came back, and how armed combat was transformed from an imperfect tool for resolving disputes into an integral component of the modern condition. As American wars have become more humane, they have also become endless. This provocative book argues that this development might not represent progress at all.

According to the creator of 100k Factory Ultra Edition, Aidan Booth, "100k Factory 'Ultra Edition is built around the same principles as the original version (FAST, SCALEABLE, PROFITABLE), but the way they get to the end result (ie. the money) is different. 100K Factory Ultra Edition is all about selling physical products on push-button "quick-build" high converting eCommerce stores, but in a VERY unique way the all but guarantees profits and a growing income stream.
In this case, students are able to leverage the power (and predictability) of physical product sales (high converting eCommerce stores, often with 5% conversion rate or higher) WITHOUT the need to purchase inventory or deal with stock on hand or even shipping. With this streamlined model, they will be able to do it by drop shipping DIRECT from China to the consumer, and with no money down. This is Phase 1 of their system.
Site setup, testing, and product selection are important, but the thing that takes this to the next level is the traffic, and as we saw in 100k Factory, they've comprehensively researched how to create massive low cost and free "targeted" traffic that drives sales at minimal to no cost.
A full review and bonuses for those purchasing the course can be found at 100kFactory-ultra.com. This deep-dive review leaves nothing out and explains the business model being used, the strengths of the course, and the software suite that has been developed to automate building highly optimized e-Com stores, generate viral traffic, and maximize income.


The Taimyr Peninsula is the northernmost peninsula of Asia, located between the Yenisei Bay of the Kara Sea and the Khatanga Bay of the Laptev Sea, within the Taimyr National District (Krasnoyarsk Territory). Its extreme protrusion in the north is Cape Chelyuskin, the southern boundary of Taimyr is the northern scarp of the Central Siberian Plateau. The Taimyr is unique in many respects, it overwhelms the human imagination with its scale – almost 1000 km in latitude and the same in longitude!

It is formed by two nameless peaks, marked on the map only with heights: 578.9 m and 615.1 m. To the west of these two mountains is Mount Independent, where the alpine skiing base is located. Red stones are one of the most popular places of rest for the Norilsk people. People are attracted by the famous waterfall, falling in two cascades into the cleanest lake to a depth of nine meters, and mountains of a characteristic red-brown shade, because of which the gorge got its name.

Even its name is similar to the other northern hydronyms. The lake is located in a deep mountain hollow. Its basin has a tectonic origin. According to scientists, the lake is about 100 million years old. The name of the lake comes from the Tungus-Manchu word "Laamu" – the sea, ocean; Evenki "Lama" – the sea, big water.

As the cold weather closes in many of us contemplate whether or not we should see our doctor for a flu shot. For anyone who doesn't like needles this can be a scary prospect but take heart!
Even with their fur coats and constant supply of eucalyptus, koalas are also vulnerable to colds and flu.
Yes, even koalas get the sniffles which are often accompanied by sneezing and coughing and just like us, they don't enjoy being ill.
The humble cold can result in serious health complications in koalas so to prevent this they are about to receive their yearly vaccination from our resident veterinarian.
Just like us, some are braver than others but knowing that prevention is better than cure, we rigidly follow this protocol every year to keep our furry little friends happy and healthy.
"Since we began vaccinating our entire colony with the flu vaccine every year prior to winter, we have thankfully had very few pneumonia complications from simple flu cases," said Galit Rawlinson, Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary Veterinarian.

He is the current Chair of the Los Angeles County Bar Association's Professional Responsibility and Ethics Committee, and a former Chair of the California State Bar's Committee on Professional Responsibility and Conduct.
NEW RULES OF PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT
(Parts I and III)
On May 10, the California Supreme Court adopted the first major overhaul of the Rules of Professional Conduct in three decades. On November 1, these 69 approved rules will replace the 46 Rules of Professional Conduct that currently govern the conduct of all attorneys in California. Several of the new rules implement important changes to the current rules or impose new obligations in California. Every California attorney should be aware of these changes, as failure to comply with the rules may result in discipline, including being disbarred from the practice of law. See new Rule 8.5(a). Failure to comply in a litigation matter may also result in disqualification from a matter.
In part one of this three-part series, we discussed some of the more controversial rules adopted by the court. Today in part two, we will look at some of the less controversial, yet nevertheless important changes that every California lawyer should know. In part three, we will consider certain entirely new rules adopted by the state Supreme Court.
Current Rule 3-500 articulates a broad requirement likely intuitive to most practitioners: Lawyers must keep their clients "reasonably informed about significant developments relating to the representation." But the current rule provides little guidance as to precisely what and how much information lawyers must share.
New Rule 1.4 is generally consistent with current Rule 3-500 but it adds clarifying language from the corresponding Model Rule that has been adopted by most other states. This language is intended to enhance public protection by more clearly stating a lawyer's obligations to clients with regard to communication.
New Rule 1.4 requires that lawyers promptly inform their clients of any decision or circumstance with respect to which disclosure or the client's informed consent is required by the rules, and advise the client of any relevant limitation on the lawyer's conduct when the lawyer knows the client expects assistance that may not be permitted under the rules. As a result, lawyers must not only inform clients as to what they will do, they must also advise clients as to what they cannot do.
New Rule 1.4 provides that a lawyer must explain matters to the extent reasonably necessary for clients to make informed decisions regarding the representation, and also requires that a lawyer reasonably consult with the client about the means employed to accomplish the client's objectives. Combined, these obligations help to ensure that the client understands the information conveyed and empower the client to be an active participant in the matter.
Conflicts of Interest: Current Clients
Current Rule 3-310 governs conflicts of interest among current clients. The provisions of this current rule are viewed as taking a "checklist" approach to identifying conflicts because they describe discrete situations that might arise in representations that trigger a duty to provide written disclosure to a client or obtain a client's informed written consent in order to continue the representation. For example, these situations include a representation where a lawyer has a relationship with a party or witness in the case, or where a lawyer has a financial interest in the subject matter of the representation.
New Rule 1.7 replaces the current "checklist" approach with generalized standards that follow the Model Rules approach to current client conflicts. Under this new approach, the inquiry for assessing whether a conflict is present is to simply ask whether there is either direct adversity "to another current client in the same or a separate matter" or "a significant risk that the lawyer's representation of a current client will be materially limited by the lawyer's responsibilities to or relationships with another client, a former client, or by the lawyer's own interests."
As is the case under current Rule 3-310, new Rule 1.7 provides that, if such a conflict of interest exists, the lawyer shall not proceed with the conflicted representation without informed written consent from each affected client.
Organization as Client
Both new Rule 1.13 and current Rule 3-600 make clear that, in representing an organization, it is the organization itself -- and not its directors, officers, employees or other constituents -- that is the client of the lawyer. As an entity, the organization can only act through its authorized officers, employees and other individuals, and such individuals are not the client even though the lawyer may take direction from such persons. New Rule 1.13, however, makes the following substantive changes to current Rule 3-600:
First, current Rule 3-600 permits a lawyer to refer a matter to a higher authority within the organization under certain circumstances, including when the lawyer becomes aware that a constituent of the organization is acting, or intends to act, in a manner that either may be a violation of law imputable to the organization or is likely to result in substantial injury to the organization. (Such an action by the lawyer is often referred to as "reporting up the corporate ladder.") New Rule 1.13 mandates reporting up in certain circumstances. This mandate is consistent with the ABA Model Rule and the rules of many other states, but it diverges from current Rule 3-600 which permits, but does not require, a lawyer to take such action. (New Rule 1.13 carries forward the requirement in current Rule 3-600 that a lawyer must maintain his or her duty of confidentiality when taking action pursuant to the rule. In particular, it is important to note that, while lawyers may be permitted or obligated to report misconduct up the corporate ladder, they are generally precluded by their duty of confidentiality from "reporting out" such misconduct, e.g., to a regulatory body or prosecutor.)
Second, while the circumstances which trigger reporting up the corporate ladder under current Rule 3-600 are based on the lawyer's actual knowledge, a lawyer's duty to report under new Rule 1.13 will be triggered by two separate scienter standards: (1) a subjective standard that would require actual knowledge by the lawyer that a constituent is acting, intends to act, or refuses to act; and (2) an objective standard that asks whether the lawyer knows or reasonably should know that the constituent's actions would be (a) a violation of either a legal duty to the organization or law reasonably imputable to the organization, and (b) likely to result in substantial injury to the organization.
Third, unlike current Rule 3-600 which permits a lawyer to take corrective action if there is either a violation of law or likely to be substantial injury to the organization, new Rule 1.13 requires that both be present before a lawyer's duty to report up the corporate ladder is triggered.
Fourth, under new Rule 1.13, a lawyer will be required to notify the highest authority in the organization if the lawyer has been discharged or forced to withdraw as a result of his or her reporting up obligation. No such notification is required by current Rule 3-600.
Candor Toward the Tribunal
Similar to current Rule 5-200, new Rule 3.3 will prohibit a lawyer from knowingly making a false statement of fact or law to a tribunal (or failing to correct such a material statement previously made by the lawyer); or failing to disclose to the tribunal legal authority in the controlling jurisdiction known to the lawyer to be directly adverse to the position of the client and not disclosed by opposing counsel, or knowingly misquoting to a tribunal the language of a book, statute, decision or other authority; or offering evidence that the lawyer knows to be false.
However, while current Rule 5-200 does not specify the duration of the lawyer's obligation, new Rule 3.3 expressly provides that the foregoing duties of candor to a tribunal continue to the conclusion of the proceeding. Interestingly, the version of Rule 3.3 proposed last year by the State Bar provided that such duties would continue to "the conclusion of the proceeding or the representation, whichever comes first." There was some dissension among the members of the Commission for the Revision of the Rules of Professional Conduct with this formulation (which deviates from the corresponding ABA Model Rule), in that it would allow lawyers to circumvent their duties by simply withdrawing from the representation.
The Supreme Court, in approving Rule 3.3, rejected this possibility. As a result, under new Rule 3.3 it is clear that the duty of candor toward a tribunal continues to the conclusion of the proceeding, even if the lawyer's representation has terminated prior to such time.
In part three, we will consider some of the entirely new rules adopted by the state Supreme Court.

Built in 1934 as a "relief" project to help control water levels and act as a reservoir in times of drought it is now one of Saskatoon's landmarks, was initially developed as a water reservoir and regulator of water. However, with the development of the Gardiner Dam in 1967, the weir was no longer necessary to regulate water flow. The weir remains one of Saskatoon's most popular visitor attractions for viewing wildlife and resting along the Meewasin Valley Trail.

Hamilton says F1 will miss departing Alonso
Alonso and Hamilton repeatedly clashed while they were McLaren team-mates in 2007 © AFP / Andrej ISAKOVIC
ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates, Nov 22 – Lewis Hamilton heaped praise on one of his most bitter erstwhile rivals on Thursday before declaring that he and Formula One will miss the retiring Fernando Alonso.
Looking back after arguably his greatest season in a decade at the top of the sport, Hamilton said he had matured significantly since he and Alonso were antagonistic team-mates at McLaren in 2007 when a spectacular bust-up cast a shadow over their relationship.
"We've had good times and bad times," said Hamilton, speaking to reporters ahead of this weekend's season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
"We've grown. He was obviously here before I was and achieved incredible things before I got here and also partly while I was here. It's been a privilege to be in an era where he was racing…
"Will I miss him? Yeah. I think the sport will miss him…"
Alonso will be aiming next year to become only the second man to claim motorsport's Triple Crown by adding a triumph at the Indianapolis 500, with McLaren, to his victories at the Monaco Grand Prix and 24 Hours of Le Mans.
A decade on from his first of five F1 title wins, Hamilton also insisted that he never felt a personal sense of animosity towards Alonso.
"I don't feel like I ever had a personal issue with Fernando," said Hamilton. "I think it was more how the team was run, or the situation we were put in, and how that was managed.
"I don't think we ever necessarily had an issue between us, except we were trying to beat each other and murder each other's laps on the track.
"Outside, we used to play NBA 2K, or whatever it was, together every now and then. It was always really quite harmonious outside…
"I definitely think, naturally, we're older — old men now and the respect between us, I'd like to think, is higher than it's ever been and I don't think that's ever going to change."
– 'Highest point' of career –
Hamilton added that he too had changed since 2007 and was now capable of coping with all of the demands and challenges thrown at him.
"In 2008, I was still really a kid. I was still maturing…
"Now, with age and experience, I'm able to do that. There's not really anything you can particularly throw at me that I can't handle.
"I still have that ability that I had as a kid, but I have the mentality side of things, particularly, and the stability — and that centred approach…
"That's what allows me to drive and handle myself and steer myself through the year the way I do."
Looking back on his performances in 2018, Hamilton said: "I think, to this point in my life, this is the highest point of my career in terms of my own performance (and) how I perform with the team.
"But I do believe there's always areas to improve so we'll definitely look at the season, at the end of this year, and there'll always be areas you look at…
"We didn't win every single race — some mishaps particularly at the beginning of the year. There's always room to improve so I expect to do that. That's my expectation of myself."

does barramundi taste fishy
Try grilling whole barramundi to serve with a dill-and-lemon butter sauce. Barramundi is a versatile fish and has a high enough oil content to keep the flesh moist while cooking. The species is widely distributed in the Indo-West Pacific region from South Asia to Papua New Guinea and Northern Australia. The fish's mid-oil content helps to keep the flesh moist while cooking, lending itself to a myriad of preparations. In fact, barramundi are full of nutrition and taste fantastic. Barramundi are a lso known as Sea Bass, Barra, giant perch, giant sea perch, silver barramundi. The fish is known as pla kapong in Thai and as bhetki in Bengali. The downside of this approach is that you'll have no fish in your aquaponics system as you approach the coldest month of the year. The sweet, mild flavor lends itself to a wide range of sauces and spices. Barramundi is a loanword from an Australian Aboriginal language of the Rockhampton area in Queensland meaning "large-scaled river fish". Barramundi are harvested as part of the set gill net fishery on the eastern coast of Queensland and in the Gulf of Carpentaria. The name Barramundi came from an Aboriginal word that means 'large scaled river fish'. However, the name was appropriated for marketing reasons during the 1980s, a decision that has aided in raising the profile of this fish significantly. The barramundi or Asian sea bass, is a species of catadromous fish in the family Latidae of the order Perciformes. Versatility meets delicious flavor Because they grow so fast you can get fingerlings at the start of the spring and have them plate size by the fall! The dense meat has large, firm flakes and the fish has a few large bones that are removed easily. They are also farmed. Barramundi has a sweet, buttery flavor and larger barramundi have a stronger taste profile than smaller fish. The fish is also … Originally, the name barramundi referred to Scleropages leichardti and Scleropages jardinii..

B2B marketing is changing. Are you ready for it?
Playing it safe with unattached, corporate tones was once called professional. Now those messages are called boring.
No longer can B2B brands get away with leaving creative messaging for the B2C campaigns. Engaging, consistent communication plans are crucial to everyone as we enter into a new era of B2B marketing. Your brand, although not selling a product to consumers, has to be able to resonate and be experienced.
We've worked with several B2B clients to produce websites, campaigns, social media pages and so much more. From dynamic features on a website to feature stories in the news, our team has brought B2B brands to life through effective communication tactics.
We invite you to take a look at our portfolio to see some of the projects we've been a part of.


The K-5 standards provide students with a solid foundation in whole numbers, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions and decimals—which help young students build the foundation to successfully apply more demanding math concepts and procedures, and move into applications.
The K-5 standards build on the best state standards to provide detailed guidance to teachers on how to navigate their way through knotty topics such as fractions, negative numbers, and geometry, and do so by maintaining a continuous progression from grade to grade.
The standards stress not only procedural skill but also conceptual understanding, to make sure students are learning and absorbing the critical information they need to succeed at higher levels - rather than the current practices by which many students learn enough to get by on the next test, but forget it shortly thereafter, only to review again the following year.
Having built a strong foundation K-5, students can do hands on learning in geometry, algebra and probability and statistics. Students who have completed 7th grade and mastered the content and skills through the 7th grade will be well-prepared for algebra in grade 8.

The Winds of Winter Release Date Updates: Will George RR Martin under Coronavirus Quarantine Finish before the Deadline?
By Jaya Jaisinghani March 24, 2020
The Winds of Winter release could be in further trouble as the Coronavirus pandemic has hit the entire world. The Covid-19 outbreak has stopped production for every media project and fans are worried that George RR Martin could also stop working on the book. It has been so many years since the next book in "A Song of Ice and Fire" series has come out and the constant delays have made it much worse.
George promised that "The Winds of Winter" would come out this year but there are no further updates. The new threat of Coronavirus could further affect The Winds of Winter release and here are more updates on George RR Martin being under quarantine and self-isolation.
The Winds of Winter Delay and George RR Martin's Promise
George RR Martin promised his fans that TWOW book will be finished soon and he will have the manuscript in his hand when he arrives in New Zealand for the Worldcon 2020. But the 71-year-old fantasy author has made several such promises before and didn't deliver on any one of them.
Ever since Game of Thrones TV series on HBO ended with a bad Season 8 finale, fans are looking forward to the Winds of Winter to have a better ending. There are also reports that GRRM is rewriting several chapters of the book and change the ending compared to the GOT show.
George RR Martin under Quarantine for writing The Winds of Winter
George RR Martin has announced that he is well aware of the Coronavirus threat given his old age and physical condition, which is why he went into self-isolation and is attended by only one of his staff members. The author says that he is getting more time to write The Winds of Winter these days.
Game of Thrones author George RR Martin says that he's healthy, staying indoors, and getting plenty of writing done "in Westeros." https://t.co/NkFwWwSRA9 pic.twitter.com/LDm7PpZdld
— IGN (@IGN) March 18, 2020
GRRM also added that he has been spending more time in Westeros than the real world these days which is a good thing. The whole Covid-19 quarantine will lead to the timely completion of "The Winds of Winter" and the next book in the ASOIAF series could come out around the end of this year.

Mission to Seafarers Halifax Protocol — read here
About The Mission
Throughout a long and distinguished history, The Mission to Seafarers has grown to become one of the largest port-based welfare operators in the world, providing service in 200 ports, 365 days a year, across 50 countries.
In addition to charitable giving, the Mission ministry work to meet the spiritual needs of seafarers. As a church-based maritime welfare organization, the Mission activities are driven by faith and social responsibility.
Without the help of our amazing volunteers, we would be unable to remain open serving seafarers Monday through Saturday, when ships are in the Port of Halifax. Our volunteers selflessly contribute their personal resources (time, effort, and even money) so the mission to serve the seafarers is realized, and the seafarers receiving them are able to work with dignity and zeal.
Lend Your Support
Attend one of our events and help support the operations of the Mission. We will soon announce the resumption of our monthly and annual events when public health and safety regulations and conditions permit.
Please conditnue to generously support our campaigns — Christmas Shoebox, used and warm clothing. Your generous financial donations go a long way in our efforts to provide our presence and services in response to the sacrifices of seafarers whose labour keeps the domestic and international economy going especially during national and global crises.
Over 90% of world trade is carried by the sea, providing work to 1.5 million seafarers. Seafaring is one of the world's most dangerous occupations. The rate of suicide for international seafarers is triple that of shore workers, and they are 26 times more likely to be killed at work, with the threat of piracy still being very real. Seafarers in distress at sea have no one to turn to as no one can see or hear their cries for help. It is only when they finally reach land that they are able to gain assistance and connect with loved ones.

We understand that sometimes it's all about the numbers. In a period of financial challenges for the NHS, innovation has never been more important in terms of finding savings – and yet investment in new ideas can sometimes be perceived as risky.
Because budgets shouldn't get in the way of good ideas, we have long helped our member Trusts access the funding that's right for their project. Successful applications for funds are all about understanding the idea, the environment in which it will operate – and the right pot of money to go for. That's where we can help.
We are able to identify the best sources of funding for a given innovation, and consult on or undertake the necessary application process to access that cash.
Our in-depth understanding of the different funding streams available for innovation development - including funding for proof-of-concept (POC) studies and prototype development – means you won't head down any blind alleys in your search for funds. We can also use our links with the WMAHSN and Medilink WM to assist with these activities.
As well as highlighting suitable funding streams, however, we can help with the applications themselves – especially in the areas of IP advice and protection and commercialisation strategies – and take some of the burden from your already busy staff.
Finally, we can contribute to, oversee or undertake the management and implementation of successfully funded projects - including the negotiation and drafting of required collaboration agreements and sitting on project management groups, for example. We can form part of any project management structure that is put in place if funding is successful; it is often viewed upon very favourable to have a commercially-minded, innovation and intellectual property organisation on board by funding bodies.
In short, we take funding seriously enough to know how to do it properly. So contact us today to discuss whatever projects you have that would benefit not just from funding – but the know-how needed to secure it.
To learn more about funding please see the Resources page.


Please help me find two children in 1911, their parents seperated just before 1911. Nellie Dora Black born 1898 and her brother Louis Ward Black born 1903, both were born in Shrewsbury. I know Nellie Dora was with her parents Percy W & Harriet Black in 1901 living in Shrewsbury.
It is believed that the two children were put into a home or workhouse, but they cannot be found. HELP!
1911 assistance is limited to what may be found in the FREE indexes.
I am not asking for a copy of the 1911 census for free, what I am requesting is to know where to look.
Thank you so much, she is Nellie Dora Blade on Ancestry, no wonder I could not find her. Now to find her brother Louis Ward, born 1903 in Shrewsbury.


Bill Peters was most definitely still close to the rink, dissecting the regular season.
Derek Ryan and his wife, Bonnie, were packing up their house in Raleigh, getting ready to head back to Spokane for the summer and likely planning some type of vacation to Disneyworld or the Carolina beaches.
Noah Hanifin was already hitting the links at his home course, the Wollaston Golf Club, in Boston.
Instead of heading to their respective off-season residencies — which had normally been the case for all four gentlemen in their previous years with the Carolina Hurricanes — they spent the first part of the week after this National Hockey League regular season driving to the rink.
Preparing for the 2019 NHL post-season.
It's a welcome change for both Hanifin and Lindholm, who arrived in Calgary in the well-documented trade for Dougie Hamilton and Micheal Ferland along with defensive prospect Adam Fox. Neither player had experienced the thrill of the playoffs.
"It's going to be different, for sure, for me," said Hanifin, who has been part of the Calgary club's steady second pairing with Travis Hamonic for the majority of the 2018-19 campaign. "We're hopefully going to make a deep run, and we're playing into June, when it's nice outside and you see all the tailgaters outside. I'm excited.
For the first two off-seasons of Hanifin's NHL career, the Boston native starred for the U.S. at the IIHF world championships which provides distraction from the sting of being on the outside looking in.
Some players refuse to watch the post-season if they're not in it, but Lindholm said he'd usually flip on the television if he couldn't sleep at home in Boden, Sweden, or if he knew players who were still playing.
His cousin, Calle Jarnkrok, skates for the Nashville Predators, so he'd watch those games.
But, of course, Lindholm would have preferred to be in his place.
For Ryan, it's the most recent chapter in his winding road to the NHL, a tale which saw him finish the regular season — his first with the Flames after they courted him in free agency last summer — tied with Jason Spezza and Travis Zajac for the best faceoff success rate in the NHL at 58.2%. Arguably, the undersized pivot has been part of one of the most surprising trios, the quote-unquote fourth line along with Garnet Hathaway and Andrew Mangiapane.
Ryan had trouble quantifying what it all means to him to still be playing meaningful hockey at this time of the year.
"I've been asked that a lot," Ryan said. "We're so focused on the games that we're preparing for, so it's really hard to take a step back and go, 'Oh, what does this mean?' It's like when you ask a guy what it feels to win the Stanley Cup. How do they answer it? How do you put it into words?
For coach Peters, it's his first trip to the big dance since the 2013-14 season when he was an assistant coach to Mike Babcock's Detroit Red Wings.
"It's going to go quick," Peters said Wednesday, as the Flames wrapped up their final practice day before the party starts. "I remember the first game on the bench in the playoffs — Detroit at Nashville. Bridgestone Arena. Big-time momentum building. The first time I looked up, it was 13:52. That was the first time — those six minutes and eight seconds flew. That's what it's going to be like on (Thursday).
That's what the three former Hurricanes players have heard, too.
"My expectations are high," Lindholm said. "I heard that the city goes crazy during playoffs. For me, to just not be too excited and stay kind of humble and focused.

Moments before Beyoncé hit the stage at Heinz Field last Tuesday, I hit the floor– literally! Anxious to see the Queen Bey again was the least of my worries when I found out that there were two bathroom options for patrons with floor seats. You could choose from a series of ghastly portable bathrooms or walk up two flights of steps for a proper lavatory.
At 32 weeks pregnant, the journey was endless. Fatigued and tired, I made my way back to my seat and fell coming down my last set of steps. Beyoncé didn't hit the stage yet so I had two options; either seek medical attention immediately or bare the pain to catch a just one more glimpse of Mrs. Carter herself.
The decision was clear. Although irresponsible, I stayed for one of the best concerts Pittsburgh has ever seen. Yoncé throwbacks intertwined with cool sips from her "lemonade" made the pain unrecognizable.
Starring Aubrey Peeples, Jem and the Holograms is about four musical sisters catapult from underground video sensations to global superstars.
Catch the movie on Wednesday, October 21 at South Side Works. Please comment below with your favorite music movie. I pretty much love every movie based off of real music, but here's a few of my favorites: Dreamgirls (2006), Why Do Fools Fall in Love (1998), and What's Love Got to Do With It (1993).

Soon, his seemingly clear path to success gets complicated when he starts falling for his mentor's girlfriend, jeopardizing his new friendship and the future he seems destined to fulfill.

The police are warning residents in the Mugdock, Blanefield and Killearn areas to be vigilant following two break-ins at garden outhouses in larger isolated properties.
Garden power tools worth several thousands of pounds were stolen from two large country houses during the last week. At one location, a Jaguar car was also taken because the keys hadn't been put somewhere safe.


This outlines just one way to mod minecraft as there are other ways as I am aware, this way worked for me and importantly applied the mod to all current game saves.
To install a mod for minecraft you need to have 3 things, minecraft installed on your machine, forge installed on your machine, and the downloaded mod file AND importantly all of these things have to be for the correct version of minecraft.
Went and found the desired mod first and worked out what version of minecraft (1.7.10, 1.8.1 etc) it was made to work with....and downloaded it.....took a note of the version.
Installed the latest version of minecraft and then once logged in opened the launcher and clicked edit profile (bottom left corner) and changed the version of minecraft to the appropriate version that matched the mod.....and then started minecraft and then closed it.
Installed Forge by double clicking the jar file.
Ran minecraft again this time changing the profile (bottom left) for Forge....then closed minecraft.
Ran minecraft under forge profile and the once in went to mods and checked that it was active.
This did the trick for me, however I had a few mod files that did not seem to work and a few false starts with the version of forge not being the right one.
One IMPORTANT point I will make is please make a copy of the users .minecraft folder in %AppData% before doing any of this as people are not going to be happy if you delete all of their saved games.


I awaken to the sound of rattling and lasers being fired at the ship. I try to recall and dig into my mind about where I am and the events that occurred. I find myself blocked. I try to reach deep into the floor and feel the life on the ship, and draw power from it. I am blocked, I no longer can feel my connection to the universe.
A man approaches and opens the door. He seems relieved to see me and tries to explain the situation. We're on a ship and it's about to explode. He suggests we try and find the commanding officer. All I can focus on is this ringing in my ears and this throbbing in my skull.
He tries to explain it once more, that we are under attack and need to get to the escape pods as soon as possible. I try and fight him on whether or not I can believe him. He notifies me that we both don't have much choice in the matter, seeing as if we keep arguing, the ship is going to be blown to dust.
The closer we get to the escape pods, the more my memory starts to come back. I physically feel this block in my mind. It feels like it's separating my brain in half. I try and recall my identity, who I am as a person. When I'm with him I feel...different.
I start to try and feel the ship surrounding me, but I am blocked from that as well. I take in space and the beauty of the ship. It's a shame we are in the situation we are in, otherwise, it might make a nice home. I've always felt at home on the fringes of space. Planets are different and beautiful and all that but in space, you can be alone, free, and feel the world and the galaxy in its vast glory.
Suddenly, a big barrage hits the ship, we rock back and forth. In the split second that it occurs, I get a vision? Memory? I'm not quite sure what it is. I'm standing at the command deck with someone to my right giving a command to fire on a planet. I see the laser cannons firing one-by-one decimating the planet's buildings. I feel my darkness and I don't want to pull away from it.
We run into a squadron of armed troopers. They prove no match for the two of us. After swiftly striking them down with my sword, I look at my companion and he blows on his pistol to cool it off and he begins to twirl it. We continue down the corridors navigating the ship to the bridge.
Upon arrival at the bridge, a small group of allies are engaged in combat with a battalion. We join the battle and after only one ally is left badly wounded.
"Do you know where the commanding officer is?" Holden asks.
"I don't know anything. The battalion that attacked us barged in a couple of minutes ago. The weapons that they had were more advanced than the usual military outfits."
"They seem to have upgraded."
"This is pointless. We need to keep moving to the escape pods or this conversation is going to be cut short. Can you stand?"
Holden helps the ally up of his feet and checks out his blaster wound scorched on his stomach.
We advance towards the escape pods only to be stopped by the sound of clashing. When we open the door we see two soldiers wielding unique blades.
The woman strikes her opponent down with relative ease, but is quickly ended herself when a stray blaster shot from the enemy capital ship strikes the area causing her to be knocked down bashing her skull into the floor-grate. We quickly realize that we have to make it to the escape pods before the entire ship blows up.
Making it to the rooms before the escape pods, we find ourselves blocked, we are forced to fight our way through and this time in combat, I feel myself adrift. Each strike gets more aggressive and deadly. I strike the last enemy down and I keep attacking him.
Holden grabs my shoulder as an attempt to get me to stop, I just feel filled with a newfound rage I can't control. I push him and without even thinking, I strike him down too.
I am stunned but I just close my eyes and let the anger and hatred flow through me. I feel reborn, better, omnipotent, and unstoppable. When I reach the escape pod, I take the last one to the planet below.
After exiting it, I meet this stranger who is also looking for the commanding officer. He tries to explain the situation, but I pay no attention to him.
I tell him to be still and to let the world collapse around us. I feel this darker self and I embrace it entirely. I feel the planet's limitedness, I feel its imminent destruction. Then I feel a silence...a stillness unlike anything before.
"We need to get going..." I start.
I guess I just took the term, "Gay Rights" to a whole other level.

Millions of people are injured every year in accidents that are caused by the carelessness of other people. In many of these cases, victims sustain significant financial and personal losses, all because someone else failed to use a reasonable degree of care.
Fortunately, under California law, people who are hurt or otherwise harmed in incidents caused by the negligence of others can often recover compensation by filing a personal injury (PI) claim. In many cases, these claims are resolved by reaching a settlement agreement with the at-fault party's insurance company, while in others, victims need to file a lawsuit and take the matter to court. In either case, personal injury claims can cover victims' economic and non-economic losses. Some examples of the damages you may be able to recover include:
Many people who are injured in accidents sustain serious injuries that require medical care. In general, the more severe the injury, the more expensive their medical care will be, and people who sustain catastrophic injuries like traumatic brain injuries or spinal cord injuries often incur hundreds or thousands of dollars in medical bills. Fortunately, current and future medical expenses are recoverable through a personal injury claim.
Victims of accidents are often unable to work for weeks or even months after an accident. In fact, in cases involving permanent disabilities, victims may never be able to get back to work. California law allows people who are injured in preventable accidents to recover compensation for their lost income, including income that they will lose in the future. For this reason, anyone who is out of work because of an injury should speak to a lawyer as soon as they can.
Many injury cases also involve significant property damage. This is particularly true in motor vehicle accident cases, but it can also be true in other types of personal injury cases as well. Personal injury victims can recover compensation for repairs or replacement of damaged property as well as for ancillary expenses like the cost of a rental vehicle to get around while your car is in the shop or you are looking for a new one.
In California, personal injury victims can also recover compensation for non-economic losses like physical and emotional pain and suffering and lost quality of life. While these can often be the largest component of a personal injury award or settlement, they can also be the hardest. The best way to ensure that you obtain as much compensation as possible for your non-economic losses is to retain an experienced personal injury lawyer who knows how to deal with insurance companies and who has a track record of success taking personal injury cases to court.

The Developmental Course of Unresolved/Disorganized States of Mind in a Sample of Adolescents Transitioning into Parenthood
By Madigan, Sheri; Plamondon, André; Benoit, Diane; Vaillancourt, Kyla; McKibbon, Amanda
Attachment theory stipulates that early relationships with significant caregivers have an enduring influence on the development and maintenance of an individual's cognitive representation of attachment (Bowlby, 1982). Although much empirical attention has been devoted to the stability of the organized classifications in response to the Adult Attachment Interview (AAI; George, Kaplan, & Main, 1996), there is a paucity of research examining the stability of the Unresolved/Disorganized (hereafter referred to as Unresolved) classification and its associated scales of Unresolved Loss and Trauma, especially in high-risk samples in which the Unresolved classification is more prevalent (BakermansKranenburg & van IJzendoorn, 2009). The Unresolved classification is characterised by disintegration at the representational level of attachment. Individuals with Unresolved representations demonstrate significant lapses in the metacognitive monitoring of discourse or reasoning processes when discussing experiences of loss or trauma (such as childhood abuse or maltreatment). These lapses may take the form of confusion or disorientation when a significant death(s) or traumatic experience(s) is discussed (Main & Hesse, 1990). Such manifestations include sudden linguistic changes, confusion regarding time and space of the traumatic event or loss through death, the use of odd phrases or words to describe the trauma or loss, unsuccessful denial of the occurrence, sense of being causal in the trauma or death, as well as disoriented speech and psychologically confused statements regarding loss and/or traumatic experiences. The present study seeks to expand the current understanding of the Unresolved classification by investigating its stability, as well as exploring predictors of initial levels and rates of change in Unresolved loss and trauma scales across three time points during the developmental transition to parenthood, in a high-risk sample of adolescent mothers.
Theoretical and Empirical Support for Stability of Attachment Representations
Bowlby (1982) maintained that early interactions with caregivers shape and help solidify later attachment representations, which then serves to guide the subsequent organisation and processing of social experience and behaviour. Underlying cognitive representations of attachment, such as those measured on the AAI, have been observed not only to be stable over time (Benoit & Parker, 1994; Crowell, Treboux, & Waters, 2002) but also to have enduring effects on later attachment relationships, including interactions with one's children and intimate relationships with others (Haydon, Collins, Salvatore, Simpson, & Roisman, 2012). However, research has also demonstrated that attachment representations can be influenced and transformed by significant changes in experience, such as changes in the caregiving environment or family circumstances, or through the introduction of a positive relationship with a romantic partner (Fraley, Brumbaugh, Rholes, & Simpson, 2004; Sroufe, Egeland, & Carlson, 1999).
Although considerable research has examined the stability of organized representations of attachment (as well as potential explanations for discontinuity in organized classifications), limited research exists on the stability and change of Unresolved representations of attachment.
The few studies considering the stability of Unresolved that do exist have yielded mixed findings. For example, Benoit and Parker (1994) examined the stability of Unresolved in a normative sample of pregnant adults across their developmental transition to parenthood and found that 62% of mothers retained their classification of Unresolved over a 1-year period, whereas Crowell et al. (2002) found a lower concordance (46%) of Unresolved across the developmental transition to marriage in a low-risk sample of adult couples. To date, we are aware of only two studies that have examined the stability of Unresolved in samples of higher risk. …

OnlyScams? X-Rated Site Outsourcing Sexts
by Anthony Farris January 3, 2022, 11:12 am
Hard as it may be to believe, those sexy texts you're exchanging with the perky 22-year-old OnlyFans model whose carpet apparently matches the drapes likely aren't coming from her.
According to the fine folks at Mel Magazine, who are doing the dirty work so you don't have to, there's a decent chance that the person sexting you is some random girl or guy firing off eggplant emojis and sexy slang on behalf of OnlyFans models in exchange for a share in the profits.
Text with me in my free Onlyfans 🖤https://t.co/n1spQwg1jk pic.twitter.com/iQiONcWGOB
— Paula 🐱🌈🔞 (@Isabellahot12) December 30, 2021
"Almost every creator that I know uses a management company (to text)," said a former OnlyFans model using the pseudonym "Lara," per Mel Magazine.
OnlyFans models generally advertise the option of texting with fans for an additional fee, and plenty of horny, obese subscribers who work part-time and live in a duplex have seized the opportunity to have models text them their most intimate wants and desires. So many, in fact, that responding to multiple texts has apparently become overwhelming and time consuming, and models have now hired others to share the workload.
"Once you get over a certain number of subscribers, it's an impossible task to handle the messaging alone," says Lara.
"Sarah," another OnlyFans model identifying herself under an assumed name, claims she's one of the few top models not going the route of Manti Te'o's former non-existent flame.
"It's very common for top creators to have assistants and sexters," said Sarah, per Mel Magazine. "If a creator is in the top one percent or they're at the top of lists like 'Hottest MILF' or 'Best Blonde,' they have literal teams that work around the clock — many of which are men."
Who saw that coming?
Lara explains that assistants or management companies who handle sexting duties for OnlyFans models generally take about 30% of the monthly profits from site performers. But that 30% cut leads to a bigger audience and a growing number of paying subscribers.
"I saw a huge increase in my sales and my mental health when I was able to just hand the keys over to someone else and only focus on creating the content," Lara told Mel Magazine.
Per their terms of service: OnlyFans forbids anyone other than the creator to access a page as far as content creation and interaction goes. So technically, any creator having someone text back on her behalf is in violation of the site's terms.
But something tells me that sexting imposters via a paid subscription site aren't priority No. 1 for law enforcement.
So for the time being, you might want to keep in mind that your text request for the luscious Leslie could very well be answered by luscious Larry instead. You've been warned.
