Benjamin Pollak -Team partypoker
Name: Benjamin Pollak
partypoker screen name: BenjaminPollak
Finishing in 3rd place at the 2017 WSOP Main Event allowed Benjamin Pollak to make a name for himself and also landed him a $ 3.5 million score!
Having started playing poker in 2006, the Frenchman confidently progressed through the stakes, believing "I immediately felt that I was able to go far. With hindsight, it may be because I had spent 10 years in magic and that I was therefore used to cards and bluffing. Poker was a revelation, I felt it was made for me."
Despite reaching 2nd in France's all-time money list, Benjamin tries to keep a cool head. He wants to remind people that poker is fun and that's why he wants to showcase the human element of it.
Having demonstrated his immense talent throughout the years, you can follow Benjamin in his pursuit of another major tournament score here.

Ukrainian Vlad Shmunis is now a billionaire owning RingCentral in the United States

Vladislav Shmunis, who was born in Odesa, made his first appearance in the new Forbes list of billionaires. His estate is estimated at $1.3 billion. The main asset is his share in RingCentral, a provider of cloud-based communications.

Shmunis moved to the United States in the '70s with his family. He graduated from the University of San Francisco and worked at HP and Amex. In 1993, he founded his first business, Ring Zero Systems. The startup created a Windows application for VoIP and mail, and it was pre-installed on a PC. Afterward, Motorolla took over the company, and Shmunis became a millionaire.
In 1999, he founded RingCentral. She offered cheap VoIP – numbers of any cities in America, calls and receiving voicemails, automated attendant. Tariffs started at $10/month, and customers were from small businesses. By 2012, the company already had more than 250,000 paying users and a revenue of $300 million.
In October 2019, RingCentral announced its partnership with Avaya. Shmunis will pay $500 million to Avaya to get access to a new cloud platform with 100 million users.
RingCentral is a public company listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Before the deal with Avaya, the company value was about $10 billion. Capitalization has now increased to $13.4 billion. Shmunis, CEO at RingCentral, has 8.5% of the company's shares.

I wrote up a short email to the Wilmington Education Improvement Commission (WEIC) tonight after learning that a member of the commission has, again, stated inaccurate information regarding the New Castle County Tax Pool and its distribution to the 4 districts that participate in it. I do know that more than one correction attempt has been made but the inaccuracy persists.
I know WEIC has a seemingly impossible task to accomplish and I know there's a nearly incomprehensible amount of information out there about finances and funding alone, but when you give out inaccurate information and accurate information is offered back to you, own it and acknowledge it. The tax pool might not seem like a major bullet point when it comes to the funding portion of WEIC but it matters. If you're wondering, the inaccurate statement was along the lines of Red Clay paying money to Christina, Brandywine, and Colonial through the tax pool. Essentially, Red Clay is the only "giver" in the pool, everyone else is a "taker". There was a time when that was accurate but that was more than 5 years ago. Since then BOTH Red Clay and Christina contribute more to the pool than they get back. BOTH. Whether you personally believe that or not, numbers don't lie.
It was brought to my attention that a member of the Commission has again publicly disseminated incorrect information regarding the distribution of tax receipts from the New Castle County Tax District (AKA- the tax pool) to the 4 participating public school districts in the county.
The comment was to the effect of, Red Clay Consolidated School District pays money to the other three districts, Brandywine, Christina, and Colonial, through the tax pool. At one time, this was an accurate statement. For the last several years however, Red Clay and Christina have paid out more to the pool than they received back. The change occurred when needs-based funding was piloted in the Brandywine School District resulting in Christina and Red Clay both becoming net contributors (paying more money in than they receive back) and Brandywine and Colonial becoming net beneficiaries (receiving more out of the pool than they contribute).
Please reference the attached image detailing the tax pool collection and distribution for fiscal year 2015. Note that Christina and Red Clay both are allocated less from the pool than they contribute (indicated in the far right column).
I understand WEIC is tasked with an incredibly complex task and an incredibly short time period to accomplish it and that errors will be made in the presentation of information but I urge the commission to acknowledge errant information and abstain from disseminating it further. Funding is one of several hot-button topics, and I feel it is crucial to utilize accurate information whenever possible. Please feel free to contact me with questions, concerns or comments. Thank you for your time.
As I stated in an earlier post, I have concerns about how fast the Wilmington Education Improvement Commission is moving, we cannot afford to make mistakes, we need to get this right.
Thank you, Brian, for taking the time to clarify this (again).

Kmart Australia Implements Centric PLM™ to Achieve Growth Ambitions
Leading retailer chooses Centric Software® PLM and digital boards to boost speed and optimize product ranges
CAMPBELL, Calif., Nov. 9, 2021 /CNW/ -- Kmart Australia, the multicategory retailer, has selected Centric Software's Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solution. Centric Software provides the most innovative enterprise solutions to plan, design, develop, source and sell products such as apparel, footwear, sporting goods, furniture, home décor, cosmetics, food & beverage and luxury to achieve strategic and operational digital transformation goals.
We assessed Centric as the best PLM solution fit for purpose with a proven track record. -- Kmart Australia
Kmart opened Australia's first discount department store in Burwood, Victoria in 1969. Today, Kmart has more than 300 stores across Australia and New Zealand, employs over 37,000 people and is recognized as one of the most profitable discount department stores in Australia.
Due to growth and changes in the business over the years, Kmart's way of working and systems needed a refresh. Their current end-to-end critical path of product development and sourcing from concept to shipment is complex, largely manual, people-dependent and supported by a mix of tools and systems making the seamless exchange of information, challenging.
Yu Min Thong, Head of Strategic Projects at Kmart says, "This results in inefficiencies, process waste, high variability in data quality and high workloads. Ultimately, improving productivity and data will aid decision-making, product outcomes, speed to market and lead to a more empowered workforce; all of which were intensified due to the pandemic. Leveraging PLM will be critical for the business to achieve its growth ambitions."
To achieve this, Kmart selected Centric PLM and Centric's Digital Merchandising Board, for collaborative, actionable information to drive go-to-market and assortment planning meetings and 'what-if' cost scenarios in real time to ensure the achievement of KPI's and targets and improve decision-making.
"We assessed Centric as the best PLM solution fit for purpose with a proven track record," says Thong. "Centric will deliver improved internal and eternal collaboration and greater use of data to influence design, buying and sourcing decisions, leading to improved product outcomes, speed, flexibility, visibility and systemic workflow management. A cohesive digitized ecosystem will empower teams to effectively manage and optimize the development of product ranges."
"Centric have greatly invested time and resources throughout the extensive selection process, always striving to understand and meet Kmart's objectives and needs. Kmart looks forward to a fruitful and sustained partnership where both parties grow in unison, optimize benefits post implementation and continuously evolve PLM capabilities to enable Kmart's growth journey."
"We are proud that Kmart Australia selected Centric," says Chris Groves, President and CEO of Centric Software. "We look forward to working closely in a mutually beneficial partnership with Kmart to empower their teams with the digital tools they need to drive productivity, efficiency and growth."

Hot Stepper: Exclusive Interview With Shannon Rowbury
The 2008 Olympian proves that constant goal setting is a sure path through injury.
February 29, 2012 Jon Gugala
Shannon Rowbury is hoping to qualify for her second U.S. Olympic team this summer. Photo: PhotoRun.net
One of Shannon Rowbury's competitors said it best: "She just can't believe that she's not a better athlete than every other girl out there."
That competitor, who will remain nameless, was speaking about last year's USA Track & Field Outdoor Championships in Eugene, Oregon, where Rowbury, who had only been training for six weeks after recovering from the dual Achilles injuries that sidelined her for much of the previous two seasons, snatched a world championships team berth in the 1,500 meters with a third-place finish. In the final in Eugene, Rowbury beat women who, on paper, should have been shoo-ins for the U.S. team, but the fiercely competitive, goal-oriented native of San Francisco was determined to make the team and launch herself back into the ranks of the world's elite.
As a collegian at Duke University Rowbury was a six-time All-American and the NCAA indoor mile champion in 2007. After graduation that year, she entered the professional ranks, and soon began building her credentials, first by winning the U.S. indoor championship at 3,000m, then by taking the 1,500 meters at the 2008 U.S. Olympic Team Trials. Later that summer she would go on to finish seventh in the 1,500 at the Olympics in Beijing — the highest placing ever in the event for an American woman. She was equally as dominant in 2009, where she won the 1,500m at the U.S. outdoor championships, was ranked #1 in the country in the metric mile, and then earned a bronze medal at the world championships.
So far this season, a now completely healthy Rowbury has been racing well, running 8:55.06 in the 3,000 meters at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix, and then grabbing runner-up honors in the 1,500m at the Millrose Games, clocking an indoor personal best of 4:07.66.
Competitor.com caught up with Rowbury recently to talk about self belief, goal setting, coming back from injury, and the allure of Irish step dancing.
Competitor.com: What are your thoughts on how your competitors describe you?
Shannon Rowbury: Well, I'm flattered by it. I think that that is pretty true. At U.S. nationals last year, I was coming off a really tough year of injuries. I'd basically gotten six full weeks of training leading up to USAs, so, on paper, against a field of women that I was facing, I think my coach even doubted whether it was going to be possible for me to make the team (laughs).
I'd gone into the season hoping to win the World Championships, and then it kind of became, well, let's just focus on making the world team. I put all my focus on that race and getting to the finish line in the top three.
What was your mental process for dealing with your Achilles injury?
What I tried to do with my injury was the day to day: just focus on one day at a time, getting the most I could out of every single day. Sometimes it was crazy or scary because I would all of a sudden have this reality check of wow, it's the end of May (laughs)—I've been so focused on the day to day that I didn't realize how quickly time was passing. It did help for me to just think of it to take each day as, "OK, this is what the cards have dealt me for today. How do I make the most out of it? How do I end this day feeling like I've accomplished the most that I could?"
When you look back on 2011, were you satisfied with what you accomplished?
As probably any other over-achiever would tell you, as soon as you reach one goal, you set your sights on the next one, so I was ecstatic when I made the (world championships) team—and then I started thinking about worlds. I was hopeful that maybe, because training had been progressing so well, I would be able to get fit enough and make it to the final and maybe have a shot at doing well there. When I didn't do well there and I didn't make the final of the world championships (n.b. Rowbury would make it to the semifinal round), I was really disappointed.
While I was disappointed that I didn't make the final at Worlds, I sat down in October and looked at the goals I set back in April. I made the world team, I got the "A" standard, which set me up well for this year, and I think I learned a lot about myself as an athlete. I think more than anything I'm proud of myself for making it through. I could have thrown in the towel many times.
Do you think that this constant revision of goals has something to do with your success?
Yeah, I think so. I've always been someone who, while I have an idea of what would be really cool to achieve down the line, I'm more of a process-goal person. When I was in high school and I first started running, my first goal was just to be the best on the team, and then it was the league, and then the conference, and then the state. College progressed the same sort of way. While I thought the Olympics were cool when I was little, I never thought, "I will be an Olympian"; I just wanted to be the best at whatever level I was at. And so, I think for me, I do really well when I have a goal in mind.
You were a competitive Irish step dancer in high school. If you hadn't been as successful in running, would you be a Nike-sponsored step dancer now?
You know, if I could have made a career in dancing, I would probably be doing that now. Anything that you start when you're a five-year-old, you just have this deep love for, and that's how I feel about dance. I'm really excited about the path that I've taken in life, but there is a part of me that, whenever I hear Irish music or dancing music or one of those (dancing) shows, I think, "Arg, I wish I could be doing that (laughs)."

Henry Cantine Connelly (September 25, 1832 in Phoenicia, Ulster County, New York – October 8, 1912 in Kingston, Ulster County, New York) was an American merchant, manufacturer, banker and politician from New York.

Life
He was the son of William Connelly (1807–1890) and Margaret Ann (Terpenning) Connelly (1810–1882). The family removed to Esopus when Henry was still an infant. He attended the common schools, and for one year Charlotteville Seminary in Summit. Then he became a clerk in a store owned by his father and a cousin of his in Rondout. On April 12, 1854, he married Cornelia A. Aldrich (died 1857). In 1856, he became a partner in the store, and later engaged extensively in the manufacture of Rosendale cement. In 1858, he married Lucinda Manning, and they had nine children. He was also President of the Kingston Savings Bank and the Kingston National Bank.

He was Supervisor of the Town of Esopus from 1867 to 1870, and a member of the New York State Senate (14th D.) in 1874 and 1875; and again in 1886 and 1887.

Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes was his nephew.

Beloved stock car driver Burt Pabsthardt seemed to be on top of the world.
Finishing top 5 in almost every race, he was poised to win professional racing's most coveted prize: NAFCAR's Carburetor Cup.
On the last lap of NAFCAR's signature race, Burt was in the lead, pushed along by his partner, Dusty Torque. But as he rounded the final turn into the home stretch he spun out of control, ramming the wall at over 200 miles per hour. He flipped upside-down, slid a good half-mile, then finally came to a flaming stop. Burt was pronounced dead at the scene.
While stock car racing is deadly on its own, something about Burt's death was fishy.
Though beloved by fans across the world, Burt Pabsthardt had lost plenty of love in his inner-circle, especially from his arch-rival and ex-girlfriend, Savannah Wallace, who was in the thick of the pile that pushed Burt's racer into the wall.
Nor is his death too upsetting to his racing partner, Dusty Torque, who has his eye on Burt's new widow, Nancy Pabsthardt. Certainly Burt's passing would grieve the head of the driver's union, Patti Patterson – but she was losing a lot of money due to Burt's escapades.
Indeed, Burt found a way to infuriate damned near everybody in his life – his manager, Sadie Sidesaddle; his Crew Chief, Albert Veehate; his pastor, the Rev. Solomon Solomon; and even his rabid #1 fan, Buster Pistenn.
By his end, Burt had found a way to make enough enemies to fill a dinner table.
Concerned about foul play, Patti Patterson has invited everyone to a secret dinner at her home.
There everyone will enjoy a meal, toast Burt's life, and try to make it through the night without his or her secrets coming to light. It's a race against your competitors to stay alive, dig up everyone else's secrets, and discover the truth about what REALLY happened to Burt Pabsthardt!
It's recommended that a non-player assist with assembly, as secret "evidence" is inserted into the booklets.

It is always recommended to use a real estate agent if you are planning to buy a new home in Davenport since he or she is well informed about the future expenses which you may have never heard of. Ask your friends or family members living in your city about their real estate agents. You can meet with each one of the agents to find the one that matches your needs.
Most often when buying new construction, a new buyer will want to get things "their way." The builder knows this and adds in the cost of those customizations (if they are even available). Typically builders have a set schedule and want to sell a certain number of homes each month. When you customize your home, it not only costs time, money and resources, but it throws off the builder's schedule. If you're looking to save money, you can opt to buy an almost finished home or perhaps go with the original spec options.
The time of the year is also important to consider while making the purchase. Houses cost very high during spring and summer as people move to new places before the school year starts. The high demand doesn't end until autumn. Buying a home in the winter can save you thousands of dollars since sellers are willing to negotiate and many household appliances are also on sale during this period.
Some builders start with house construction only after most of the properties are sold. Many individuals choose to go for a move-in ready home because a lot of time is saved and many builders also offer an opportunity to personalize things according to your needs. Attractive upgrades like high-end fixtures, flooring, and cabinets are also provided by few builders which is an opportunity which is an opportunity that shouldn't be missed.
It's true you only need as little as 3% down in many cases now. However, it is advisable to save money for the down payment of the house beforehand to avoid delays in the end when you have almost finalized on the deal. The down payment covers Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI), which is the insurance on the mortgage..

Irish P2P lender calls on government to look beyond mainstream banks for Covid-19 support
By John Reynolds on Wednesday 6 May 2020
Linked Finance believes the government's current approach is failing.
Image source: Niall Dorrian/Linked Finance
Ireland's leading alternative lenders should be included alongside mainstream banks as part of the government's expansion of lending to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) hit by the coronavirus outbreak, according to an Irish peer-to-peer (P2P) lender.
Linked Finance believes the government's current approach is failing and has written to the Irish minister for finance Paschal Donohoe to outline its concerns.
It argues the Irish government's existing Capital Guarantee and Covid-19 Working Capital schemes are not working at the scale required.
It points to figures showing that only €11m of the €200m first tranche allocated under the Covid-19 Working Capital scheme had been awarded, with just 56 companies having loans approved over seven weeks since its launch on March 10.
Linked Finance says the administrative burden required of firms to qualify is excessive while the extent of government guarantees is "insufficient" for lenders to be willing to deploy capitals given the extent of uncertainty in the market.
Niall Dorrian, CEO of Linked Finance said: "The clock is ticking for Irish SMEs and it's vital that the government moves quickly to expand the lending support it can provide."
"Alongside an expansion of capital guarantees should also be the broadening of the channels through which funds are offered to include lenders like Linked Finance."
"We have the intimate understanding of, and relationships with, SMEs to ensure that funds are deployed rapidly and to the right place."
"Across Europe we are seeing governments providing much higher levels of support than is available in Ireland, which in the short-term will play a crucial role in getting the wheels of business turning again as those countries emerge from the current lockdown phase of the crisis. Ireland needs to ensure that it too is similarly well-placed."
"There is a danger that understandable efforts to ensure public money is not misspent, have created layers of complexity that destroy the value of the schemes currently in place."
"Now is the time for a forceful and wide-ranging response to support an SME sector that provides over two-thirds of the jobs in our economy."

New York energy storage target official after Gov. Cuomo signs bill
Published Dec. 1, 2017
Peter Maloney Contributing Editor
Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) on Thursday signed into law a bill that makes New York the fourth state to adopt an energy storage target.
The bill, A 6571, calls for the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority and the state's Department of Public Service to come up with a portfolio of energy storage policies, including a storage target, in the first quarter of 2018.
The state's Public Service Commission will determine the level of the target and whether or not it will be mandatory.
The new law makes New York the second state on the East Coast to adopt an energy storage target.
Under targets set by Massachusetts' Department of Energy Resources in June, utilities in the state must procure 200 MWh of energy storage by Jan. 1, 2020. The West Coast led the way with California and Oregon setting energy storage targets.
But not all targets are equal. Massachusetts came under fire after setting its target. At the time, Ravi Manghani, director, energy storage at GTM Research, called it "slightly under par." An earlier state report said the state could support a 600 MW energy storage target.
The details of New York's program will not be known until the PSC completes its work, but indications after the storage bill was passed by the state legislature are that legislators were pushing for a target.
"We didn't want to mandate the specifics," Assemblywoman Amy Paulin (D), a sponsor of the bill, said at the time. While a target could be voluntary, she said it would have to have "teeth."
One impetus for setting a robust target could be as a means of supporting job growth in New York. There are 4,000 energy storage jobs across the state, a 30% increase from 2012, according to NYSERDA.
"Under Governor Cuomo, New York is poised to lead the nation in developing an energy storage market that will improve the state's electric grid, create jobs, make energy more affordable and support New York's ambitious greenhouse gas reduction goals," A NYSERDA spokesperson told Utility Dive.
The energy storage program will be run by the NYSERDA and the Long Island Power Authority.

John Goodwyn Barmby (Bapt. 12 November 1820 – 18 October 1881) was born at Yoxford in Suffolk and educated at Woodbridge School. He was an English Victorian utopian socialist thinker. He and his wife Catherine Barmby (1816/17–1853) were influential supporters of Robert Owen in the late 1830s and early 1840s before moving into the radical Unitarian stream of Christianity in the 1840s. Both had established reputations as staunch feminists and proposed the addition of women's suffrage to the demands of the Chartist movement.

Barmby was involved as an editor, writer, and organiser of communitarian ventures around London from 1838 to 1848. He is often associated with the growth of socialist and utopian projects during the rise of Chartism. He founded a utopian community on the Channel Islands and at times corresponded with radicals including William James Linton and Friedrich Engels.

Barmby also authored the first attested writing (1841) of communist in English; having translated it from communiste in French while claiming he first spoke the word in 1840 in Paris, France, the same year he went there to meet the advocates of le communisme as had been written in at least a French article and pamphlet by then, the former by Étienne Cabet and latter by both Théodore Dezamy and Jean-Jacques Pillot. By his claim, he first discussed "communism" with some followers of François-Noël Babeuf, describing them as "some of the most advanced minds of the French metropolis". He introduced Engels to the French communiste movement. They founded the London Communist Propaganda Society in 1841 and in the same year the Universal Communitarian Association. Barmby founded the Communist Chronicle, a monthly newspaper later published by Thomas Frost. By 1843, the Barmbys had recast their movement as a church. The term "communism" was used slightly later, but certainly by the 1840s. As Donald F. Busky wrote, "Barmby may have thought that he invented the words communism and communist, but he was mistaken ... [I]n all probability [communist and communism were in use] by the 1830s or 1840s".

Researchers at Rutgers University explain:

Disillusioned with communism, Barmby became involved with Unitarianism in 1848. After leading congregations at Southampton, Topsham, Lympstone and Lancaster, he was minister of Wakefield Unitarian Chapel from 1858 to 1879. He continued to contribute to liberal politics and published poetry and hymns.

Pakistan Lose four Wickets against Australia in Melbourne Test before Rain Stops Play
New Delhi, Monday, December 26 – The motto of team hosting a series is to let opponents feel extreme pressure in its den. After losing the opening Test by 39 runs at the hands of Australia, Pakistan would hope to learn from their mistakes to be a better cricket team, which could be a real threat for other cricket playing nations. But this would require them stay focused and use their skills in front of the hosts at Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne, which is organizing 2nd Test.
Pakistan won the toss and elected to bat first in the Test that started from Monday, December 26. For this match, Australia Playing XI includes captain Steven Smith, David Warner, Usman Khawaja, Matt Renshaw, Peter Handscomb, Matthew Wade, Mitchell Starc, Nic Maddinson, Josh Hazlewood, Nathan Lyon and Jackson Bird. The one to sit on bench is Chadd Sayers. At the same time, Misbah-ul-Haq is leading a side that has Sami Aslam, Babar Azam, Azhar Ali, Younis Khan, Asad Shafiq, Sohail Khan, Sarfraz Ahmed Mohammad Amir, Wahab Riaz and Yasir Shah. Those in extra are Sharjeel Khan, Rahat Ali, Mohammad Rizwan, Mohammad Nawaz, Mohammad Asghar and Imran Khan.
When Pakistan skipper Misbah-ul-Haq invited Australia to bowl first, it seemed he wanted to test the potential of his playing XI that whether the boys could take the team to a strong side or not. This decision might have fruitful result in the long term but did not seem appropriate as soon as Sami Aslam was dismissed by Lyon at a score of 9 (4 x 1). Azhar Ali, however, batted well and hoped for good partnership from others too. Babar Azam to a certain extent tried to release pressure by hitting three boundaries but his play could not go beyond 23 runs since Smith was quick in taking the catch in Hazlewood's over. Younis Khan succumbed to Bird at 21 runs (4 x 1). Misbah-ul-Haq also lost his wicket to the same man and was dismissed at an unimpressive total of 11 runs (4 x 1 and 6 x 1).
Asad Shafiq is batting at 4 runs, while opener Ali at 66 runs (4 x 4). After play of 50.5 overs, Pakistan accumulated 142 runs for the loss of four wickets. Match was delayed due to rain on Day 1. As per latest reports, it has been suspended further for the same reason. The moment match resumes, focus of Pakistan will be on fading away the stress by hitting a few classy shots to let Australian players do some running on the field. Australia bowlers, on the other hand, would pay heed to bringing innings of Pakistan batsmen to an end as quickly as possible. The hosts want to log victory in the ongoing Test to solidify its chance to seal series with one match yet to go.
All eyes are stuck on Pakistan performance as the batting collapse further could make them lose grip from the match. Any blunder at this point is to be avoided and focus is to be paid on winning the contest, which will allow tourists to level series. Pakistan players would want to capitalize chance to shine and not lose wicket. While batting against Australia in the opening match of at the Gabba in Brisbane, Pakistan camp felt the real pressure. The team was are back to the pavilion at 142 runs in first innings after they failed to read the mood of the pitch though Aussies scored 429 runs at the same place. However, the hosts were in a problematic stage to some extent post declaring 2nd innings at 202 runs, thinking it enough to restrict the rivals.
Pakistan succeeded in showing the resistance on the foreign pitch that time, scoring 450 in second innings. It can be called sheer luck of Australia that they won it by a little margin otherwise it would have been a humiliating defeat on them. The ongoing series is a perfect time to examine abilities of all-rounders, key batsmen and bowlers whether they could perform in unfamiliar conditions or not. The touring squad would have to hoard more runs if objective is to let opposition feel the heat. Australia are at good spot and would require to maintain the same to keep on pressurizing Pakistan.


In the early C21st The Salvation Army was back in the middle east in response to the British and American led invasion of Iraq in 2002. From 2003 to 2008, The Salvation Army ran a number of humanitarian and relief programmes with the civilian population. Then, in 2008, the meetings held by south Asian Salvationists were officially recognised by General Shaw Clifton and officers were appointed from London to establish an official Salvation Army presence in the region (or rather re-establish, as the Egyptian Salvation Army in Port Said did not long survive the Second World War). The Salvation Army Middle East Region, headquartered in Kuwait City, now has 11 corps across Kuwait and the UAE, with more than 400 members.

Adobe and DMCA Liability In An Era of Orphan Works - Adobe (NASDAQ: ADBE) has a potential liability on their hands if it does not properly warn users of Adobe Photoshop (and others) that when they choose "Save for Web and devices..." that they are stripping all of the metadata (including individualsership information) from the files, unless they take the behaveion of choosing "Include XMP" within the save dialog box.
By removing this information, not only is Adobe (and not just Photoshop, but all their applications) risking being in violation of the DMCA (and subject to criminal and civil penalties) but this extends to international issues of moral rights (a.k.a. droit morale) which, under international law, the removal of this information from creative works is expressly prohibited.
"Include XMP" to the "fly out menu", which was previously buried in another menu. The problem remains, however, that when choosing "Include XMP", it does not include that same data in the legacy IPTC fields, so if your client is looking for individualsership information in the Preview program on a Mac, some PC applications, older version of Photoshop, and so on, the individualsership information would not be seen. Since Jeff Sedlik, CEO of the PLUS Coalition, has been working closely with Adobe on metadata and rights issues related to the PLUS standards, we asked him if he was aware of these problems. "I first brought the metadata preservation issue to the attention of Adobe engineers in January of 2005. Specifically, I proposed that Photoshop and other Adobe products should preserve metadata by default, even during a "save for web" operation. Months later, I notified Adobe of a bug related to the Photoshop's preservation of metadata. In both instances, Adobe was very receptive and promptly behaveed upon the proposals." Sedlik noted that Wealthyard Anderson/ASMP, Bill Rosenblatt/Giant Steps and others worked in parallel on the issue.
Yet, the integration has not been done to include the individualsership in both XMP and IPTC when used in Photoshop, so if you had individualsership information in just the IPTC, which would include the many thousands of images you may have saved pre-XMP, there is a potential risk that it would get stripped, unless it was migrated into the XMP as well.
According to the Digital Millennium Copyright Behave (DMCA) the operations of Adobe's Photoshop and other applications - specifically take place without informing the user that it is happening - and thus removes "copyright manapearlent information" from protected works that have been worked on in Photoshop and saved, including photos and graphical illustrations.
We are going to see more and more issues approximately individualsership of creative content moving forward, and Adobe could well be culpable in DMCA violations. Sedlik reports that he earlier proposed that Adobe display a DMCA warning pop-up when user either turns off the default metadata preservation setting or attempts to edit or delete rights metadata. Sedlik has further proposed to Adobe that "file info" panels should include explanatory text and links to help users to understand the DMCA and the importance of metadata preservation.
Proposals to "lock" metadata are flawed as well. The notion that once any metadata is written is cannot be removed is just like putting a lock on a straw door, it's a false sense of security, as it's very easy to delete or edit any metadata. (John Nack at Adobe answers this on his blog here).
In addition, confirmation of the setting of metadata being included by default should be in plain view , and maintain the copyright and individualsership data in both the IPTC (IIM and XMP) and PLUS fields. It's critical that these choices to preserve that metadata shouldn't be so hidden. Frankly, all of the above should be implemented, to assure the best protection for Adobe and their unknindividualsing customers.
Any argument that the addition of a few hundred bytes of data is going to adversely affect the file size of a JPEG is trumped by the importance of individualsership data remaining an integral part of the file as it traverses the satelite.
Any argument that Adobe should not be responsible for these issues and contributory infrinpearlent need only see to what happens in Adobe when you try to scan in US currency, from Photoshop CS and later. Clearly, Adobe is concerned approximately liability on currency, so too on the liability of who the individualser of the inknowectual property that it's applications were used on should be a concern to them.
In January of 2004, when Adobe added this capability, in this AP piece Adobe "behaveellledged Friday it quietly added technology to the world's best-knindividuals graphics software at the request of government regulators and international bankers to prevent consumers from making copies of the world's major currencies", and quoted Adobe as saying the currency protection technology "would have minimal impbehave on honest customers." So too would the warnings and default settings have a minimum impbehave on honest users when it comes to the inknowectual property of photographers and illustrators.
This will become a huge problem once whatever form of Orphan Works gets passed, but Adobe needs to be out infront of this issue, and the change of a default setting, or the addition of a warning box could easily be a "dot-release" addition, since it's not a feature, it wouldn't be something that would be subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Behave, (example of the Sarbanes-Oxley issue here), and Carolyn Wright, over at Photo Attorney, notes a cautionary warning here back in 2007.
While I'd make the educated guess that less than 2% of Adobe's customers are photographers, and probably less than 15% of Photoshop users are photographers, these settings, across the board of Adobe's application line, potentially affect all of Adobe's customers both in the liability of creating an Orphaned Work, as well as the DMCA liability of stripping individualsership metadata from the images.

            .then((value) => {
                this.router.navigateByUrl('/home')
            })
    }
}

And here is the test
describe('Component: LoginComponent', () => {
    let component: LoginComponent
    let fixture: ComponentFixture<LoginComponent>
    let loginMockService: LoginService
    let location: Location

    beforeEach(() => {
        TestBed.configureTestingModule({
            declarations: [
                LoginComponent,
                MockComponent,
            ],
            imports: [ NxtModule, RouterTestingModule.withRoutes([{ component: MockComponent, path: 'home' }]) ],
            providers: [
                { provide: 'AppStore', useValue: appStore },
                { provide: LoginService, useValue: loginService },
            ],
        })

        fixture = TestBed.createComponent(LoginComponent)
        component = fixture.componentInstance
        fixture.detectChanges()

        loginMockService = fixture.debugElement.injector.get(LoginService)
        location = TestBed.get(Location)
    })

    it('should log', fakeAsync(() => {
        spyOn(loginMockService, 'log').and.callThrough()

        component.loginForm.username = 'john.doe@test.com'
        component.loginForm.password = 'password'
        component.nxtForm.updateForm('username', component.loginForm.username, true)
        component.nxtForm.updateForm('password', component.loginForm.password, true)

        component.submitLoginForm()

        expect(loginMockService.log).toHaveBeenCalled()

        tick()

        expect(location.path()).toEqual('/home')
    }))
})

If I remove the fakeAsync and the tick it works but I can't test the expect(location.path()).toEqual('/home'), I've tried everything : remove node_modules and pacakge-lock.json and run npm i, updating Angular to v5.0.5, etc.
Thank you

David Sirota For MSNBC!
By Chris Bowers (Page 1 of 1 pages) 2 comments
Wed Feb 25, 2009 at 13:23
Today, I am launching a campaign on Open Left to support our very own David Sirota as the host for a new show on MSNBC that will follow Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow. I started a Facebook group for this campaign, and you can show your support by joining that here. Do that, then email MSNBC at letters@msnbc.com and tell them you want David in that 10pm slot.
Yes, I am perfectly serious. Read more in the extended entry.
Why David Sirota for MSNBC? Four reasons:
1. David is great on TV: David appears on television about once a week, and always does a great job. You can see this for yourself by going to his website, and clicking any of the links on the left-hand column. He's forceful. He's funny. He is unabashedly left-wing and populist. He can really make conservatives angry while still offering a clear message. Television is a difficult medium to consistently perform well, but David has a proven ability to do so.
2. David is a leading anti-corporate, pro-grassroots voice: In David's two books, Hostile Takeover and The Uprising, and voluminous writing online, he has proven himself to be a leading voice against the corporate imbalance that has come to dominate our economy, and the increasing backlash against it. This is exactly the sort of voice we need on a cable news network that is, lest we forget, part of a gigantic conglomerate that sells everything from news to military grade weapon systems.
3. Don't get angry about the media, become the media: For years, left-wing complained about the sorry state of the Democratic Party. You know the complaints: too timid, too centrist, too disorganized. However, about five or six years ago, progressives began to do more than just complain about the Democratic Party, they decided to start becoming the Democratic Party. In a campaign Jerome Armstrong termed "the silent revolution," progressive grassroots campaigns sprang up around the country to run for elected positions in the Democratic Party. In several states around the country, these campaigns succeeded in transforming the local state Democratic Party. Even I jumped into the mix, becoming a local precinct captain and winning a seat on the Democratic state committee here in Pennsylvania. The apex of this effort was when Howard Dean became DNC chair.
The same principle applies to the national media. Like many people on the left, I complain about the corporate media all the time. However, rather than just complaining about the corporate media, shouldn't we be working to take it over? We have done a great job of building online progressive media, but even with the recent changes at a cable news network like MSNBC, the Republican media dominance of the last few weeks shows that we still lag behind on television. That is why it is a good thing for progressives to campaign for new cable news network time slots whenever such openings appear.
4. The more progressives campaigning for the new MSNBC show, the more likely it is that a progressive will land the show: Speaking of progressives campaigning for cable news network time slots, as many people know The Young Turks and Sam Seder are already underway for the new MSNBC time slot. As a fan of both Sam's and Cenk's, I wish them both the best of luck in winning the new show. Further, I believe that the more progressives we have publicly campaigning for the time slot, the better the chance of any progressive eventually winning the time slot.
It is the same principle as the extended 2008 primary season, which I strongly believe helped President Obama's chances in the general election. The more public supporters that David, Sam, and Cenk each have, the more attention it draws to all progressives campaigning for the time slot, and the more interest it demonstrates in progressives winning the new show. Keep in mind that MSNBC President Phil Griffin has said both that he is paying attention to the progressive campaigns for the new show, and that he will not guarantee the new show is given to a progressive:
MSNBC President Phil Griffin said he's not necessarily looking for someone who shares the political leanings of Olbermann and Maddow, but is delighted by the response.
"If people identify with us, I'm thrilled," he said. David Sirota For MSNBC!
"Obviously, we're going to have flow between our shows," Griffin added. "But it isn't going to be ideology that drives it. I want that hour to be edgy, to be smart, to be a little snarky."
Clearly, the more the merrier. The stronger each of the progressive campaigns for the new show, the better chance each of the candidates has to win.
So, join David Sirota for MSNBC on Facebook now! Let's work toward building a more progressive national news media.
