At NAB 2018, Imagine Communications introduced the xG Scorecard, a powerful new analytics and business intelligence tool designed specifically for the media industry; a studio transfer and modernization project at the Recife facility of TV Globo, one of the largest broadcasters in Latin America and the completion of a significant project for Fiji Television, transitioning the broadcast operations of Fiji One to a new, custom-built greenfield site.
Imagine Communications introduced xG Scorecard, a pnalytics and business intelligence tool designed specifically for the media industry, at NAB 2018. xG Scorecard provides media professionals with a comprehensive, holistic and highly visualized view of performance and audience data, empowering them to make smarter advertising sales and programming decisions.
The expansion of content distribution options has made it difficult for media companies to easily and accurately track consumption and demographic data, inhibiting their ability to maximize advertising revenue. xG Scorecard is a powerful analytics tool designed to enable media companies to concentrate all data relevant to optimizing their business into a single view that can be customized to meet the needs of specific users and decision makers.
The multi-source capabilities of xG Scorecard make it possible to blend data from traditional sales and traffic systems, operational databases, ratings, clickstream and even social networks to build a holistic view of audiences with real-time insights. By bringing together data that is normally stored in silos, xG Scorecard offers a unique, powerful and highly visual way of evaluating and fine tuning the performance of your business.
xG Scorecard is so named for its ability to provide an interactive display that brings together information from across the business and enables ad-supported media companies to explore, interpret, customize and organize data. This all-new capability makes dissecting data easier than ever. The xG Scorecard visual filters allow anyone to navigate their data and collaboration tools that enable discussion and collective analysis.
As opposed to generic business intelligence tools, xG Scorecard has been customized and optimized for the media industry. Both powerful and easy-to-navigate, the new analytics engine enables media professionals to quickly pull together comprehensive reports that can be customized for executives or other decision makers in a matter of minutes, rather than hours. Reports can also be easily exported to pdf.
Imagine Communication's xG platform is a modular, next-generation advertising management solution that is designed to enable broadcasters and other media companies to maximize the value of commercial airtime and optimize the efficiency of their business to sell either by traditional unit-based models or impression-based models that can be effective across all delivery platforms, including linear, nonlinear, on-demand and mobile. In addition to analytics and reporting, Imagine's open, cloud-capable software platform provides a broad set of functionalities, including inventory and yield optimization, inventory management and back-end business processing. The xG platform is designed to work across all types of media advertising and distribution.
Imagine Communications has supplied the key components of a studio transfer and modernization project at the Recife facility of TV Globo, one of the largest broadcasters in Latin America. The new hybrid SDI-IP facility, anchored by IP-capable processing, monitoring and control solutions from Imagine Communications, is designed to assist TV Globo in long-term cost reduction, minimizing operational complexity and helping the company to keep pace with evolving market demands through the easy integration of future standards and technology upgrades.
The requirement to move operations to a new facility in Rua da Aurora, Brazil, opened up the opportunity for TV Globo to take the first steps toward transitioning its broadcast centers from SDI to IP. By shifting the core of the new infrastructure from baseband routers to standard Ethernet switches from Cisco Systems, and surrounding those switches with SDI-to-IP gateways from Imagine, TV Globo was able to make the move to IP while still preserving the original SDI endpoints (cameras, processors, etc.).
"Although the project was approved way before the new IP open standards release date, it was clear that we didn't want to build the new infrastructure on a baseband foundation and that it made sense to take advantage of some of the efficiencies of IP in conjunction with the move," says Thiago Abreu, Project Manager at TV Globo. "The result is a hybrid facility with IP at its core — an approach that enables us to future-proof our network while at the same time support an incremental and self-paced migration to an all-IP future." The first set of SMPTE ST 2110 standards was ratified in September 2017.
At the heart of the new hybrid facility are Imagine's processing, monitoring and control solutions. TV Globo is using the Selenio MCP3 equipped with Uncompressed Over IP (UCIP) modules to provide SDI/IP on- and off-ramps to the Cisco switches, which support both 10Gb and 100Gb ports using a leaf-spine configuration. The Selenio MCP3 modules act as SDI/IP gateways, enabling TV Globo to preserve the existing SDI infrastructure on the edge of the network and saving the broadcaster the expense of making a wholesale replacement of its infrastructure. TV Globo's staff is further shielded from operational disruption though the installation of Imagine's Magellan™ SDN Orchestrator, a management platform that masks the underlying complexity of IP and hybrid routing by simultaneously controlling both SDI and IP domains.
The installation also included Imagine's EPIC MV, the industry's only mixed signal SDI-IP multiviewer. In addition to enabling TV Globo to monitor its hybrid infrastructure with a single multiviewer solution, the UHD-ready EPIC MV positions TV Globo to migrate toward UHD and other picture-quality enhancements as soon as market conditions dictate.
The network conforms to SMPTE ST 2022 standards for SDI over IP, which were widely deployed when the project was started a few years ago, as well as technical recommendations from the Video Services Forum (VSF) that allow audio to be handled separately from the video and data streams. The UCIP cards within the Selenio MCP3 provide the SDI-to-AES67 conversion of audio. These same SMPTE ST 2022 and VSF standards formed the basis for the recently ratified SMPTE ST 2110 standards, allowing TV Globo to migrate to the latest IP transport standards though simple software upgrades.
Imagine Communications' early recognition of the importance of standards played a major role in the selection process. At the time of the initial deployment, Imagine was a vocal supporter of industry standards, in contrast to other technology suppliers still pushing proprietary solutions.
Imagine Communications has successfully completed a significant project for Fiji Television, transitioning the broadcast operations of Fiji One to a new, custom-built greenfield site. The project was accomplished without any interruption to Fiji One's 24/7 news channel.
Imagine Communications provided the core of the news operation, including four Nexio+ AMP HD video servers and Versio IOX SAN high-performance online shared storage, running as software instances on standard Hewlett-Packard Enterprise (HPE) servers. This upgrade is an important step for any customer considering a transition to next-generation playout solutions such as Imagine's Versio Platform. Alongside the storage network, Imagine also provided Fibre Channel switches and a Platinum VX router for baseband switching. The new network also includes a Nexio® NLE Gateway server to allow full integration of Apple® Final Cut Pro editing tools.
"Our solution runs on industry-standard IT hardware, which delivers real cost savings and forms the basis for future migration to next-generation playout systems like Versio Platform," Joe Khodeir, vice president of sales for Australia at Imagine Communications, says. "It is also ready for other future enhancements like IP connectivity, yet looks and feels familiar to Fiji One's operational staff. Using industry-standard equipment helped us to build the new facility ahead of time – despite seasonally inclement weather and construction delays.

Georgia Democrat Ossoff Holds Advantage With Independent Voters: Exit Polls
By Aila Slisco On 1/5/21 at 10:01 PM EST
News Jon Ossoff David Perdue Georgia Senate Race Senate
Independent voters are slightly favoring Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Jon Ossoff over Georgia's incumbent Republican Sen. David Perdue in Tuesday night's runoff election, according to an exit poll.
Independent voters were closely divided between Ossoff and Perdue, but Democrats had a slight advantage among the group, according to a preliminary CNN exit poll.
The poll was conducted for the National Elections poll, a group of media outlets including CNN, by Edison Research. Researchers gathered data by surveying 5,260 Georgia voters who cast ballots in person on election day or during early voting, along with conducting telephone interviews with some other early voters and those who cast mail-in ballots.

Ossoff and Perdue are taking part in the runoff because neither candidate achieved 50 percent in November's election, although Perdue had around 88,000 more votes than Ossoff after all the ballots were counted. Polling conducted prior to the runoff suggested that the candidates were essentially deadlocked heading into Tuesday.
GOP Senate Candidates 'Encouraged' by High Turnout In North Georgia
As polls close in Georgia, light Election Day turnout a worry for GOP
Bettors Favor Georgia Democratic Candidates to Win Runoff Elections
Experts have cautioned that exit polls are particularly prone to issues of accuracy, with preliminary polling data even more likely to be less than accurate. The COVID-19 pandemic has also changed the manner in which exit polls are conducted, since a smaller portion of the voters are available to be interviewed in person on Election Day.
Newsweek reached out to Ossoff and Perdue's campaigns for comment.
A close race was also expected heading into Georgia's other Senate runoff. Polls showed incumbent Republican Kelly Loeffler running closely behind Democratic challenger Raphael Warnock. Unlike the race between Perdue and Ossoff, the contest is a special election, with Loeffler defending the seat she was appointed to by GOP Governor Brian Kemp in December 2019.
The outcome of the two elections will determine which party controls the Senate. If Democrats win both seats, the upper chamber would be split 50-50 but Vice President-elect Kamala Harris would have the ability to break ties, giving Democrats control. Republicans only need to win one of the two seats to retain control.
Republicans have expressed concern that President Donald Trump's continued unsubstantiated claims that the presidential election was rife with widespread voter fraud could undermine GOP chances in Georgia. Some pro-Trump figures, such as attorney Lin Wood, have suggested that Trump supporters should boycott the runoffs in protest of the president's loss in the state, which was certified after three separate counts of the vote and multiple audits overseen by Republican state election officials and Kemp.
Tuesday's exit poll suggested that Georgia voters had confidence that the runoffs would be conducted fairly and that their votes would be counted accurately. However, a large difference in confidence existed depending on party. While just over half of Republicans believed that the election would be fair, around 90 percent of Democrats said the same. A 70 percent majority of Independents agreed.

The increased demand for long-term care has raised concerns about the sustainability of current funding arrangements in long-term care. In response to these concerns, countries have sought to improve the integration of health and long-term care, tap into the resources provided by informal carers, enhance personalization and person-centred care and improve prevention. The question remains however: which of the current policies and initiatives in each of these areas offers the best outcomes for the resources invested?
There are already a wealth of studies and evaluations carried out, whose findings, however, do not always trickle down to policy-makers and practitioners. Against this backdrop it is important to review existing evidence and derive policy recommendations.
To carry out a synthesis of existing evidence on cost-effectiveness of interventions in long-term care around 5 themes:
Trends in disability across the EU
Prevention of dependency
Informal carers
Innovative care models and technologies (e.g. personalization and ICT)
Integrated care provision
The project partners will review existing evidence through rapid reviews and case studies (the latter will include expert interviews) in each of the 5 themes mentioned above. The evidence gathered will feed into a modelling exercise to assess the cost-effectiveness of promising interventions identified in each theme. The project will also build a website repository of good practices to further the exchange of knowledge between European countries.
The team of the European Centre are co-coordinators of the themes innovative care models and technologies and integrated care provision.

Discussion in 'MacBook Pro' started by m.bico, Jan 6, 2015.
While editing on photoshop i noticed something that thought to be dirt and turned out to be the u from uTorrent icon in my dock!
Then i did the image retention test and after the 10 minutes i found a very faint checkerboard on my grey background. Then i thought maybe it's just my eyes and then i still see it for days even while writing in fullscreen with the white background! To be honest it's faint and sometimes almost unnoticeable specially on other backgrounds..but i can definitely spot the black from white in checkerboard persistence while writing and i write a lot.
I like the rMBP overall..great speed and sound quality..and the display of course (obviously except for this issue)..but I design and write ALOT..and I'm afraid it will be much worse later! BTW I just got it on christmas day..so i'm afraid if it happened too soon like this may happen more severely later.
Please note before asking me to return it that i live in Egypt and i bought it from the US so it's practically impossible.
My question is: Will it worsen overtime from your experience?
I know you may say "You can just return it to apple in your country" but as i said it's not very easy even if we have here official distributer and service center..As the last thing anyone cares about here in my beloved country is customers rights! If i have to i will go through a lot of pain with them..so what do you think?
From what I see on this forum, it may get worse as time goes on. I've seen some people wishing they got their machines looked at when it was in warranty as the IR became worse as time went one.
Thanks for replying. I contacted the vendor to return it and was asked about the blank warranty cards..what is this?? I had MacBooks before and never noticed any warranty cards or papers..only manuals and apple logo stickers..and I never checked for it as I didn't need any fix except for the failing gpu on the infamous 2011 model which arised years after warranty expired as happened to many..and because of this I'm afraid of going through the same agony again.
So please confirm if there's any warranty cards or papers in the box?
And second question: What's meant by the same condition as sold? I did use it but it's in a perfect condition. And I have the original manufacturer's packaging, of course I unpacked it so is there any problem here?
You bought it this Christmas?
That means you have a warranty. Use it. You don't have to return it, you could simply have it repaired by having the screen replaced.
There are no warranty cards or papers in the box. The warranty is linked to the machine's serial number, is international and follows the machine, not the owner.

Nick Kapatos - Sports Information Graduate Assistant
BAY CITY, Mich. – Grand Valley State men's track & field athletes Sean Wells and Trent Chappell have been named the GLIAC Men's Track & Field Athletes of the Week after their performances at the EIU Big Blue Classic in Illinois this past weekend.
Wells, a junior from Fox Lake, Ill., set a school record in 110 meter hurdle final with a time of 14.01, also hitting an NCAA automatic qualifying mark in the process. The junior sprinter broke his own record set from the previous weekend's competition at the Raleigh Relays. He currently holds the third best time in Division II in the event and the top time in the GLIAC. Wells also netted a provisional qualifying mark in the 200 meter dash at the Big Blue Classic with a time of 21.13, placing him at the top of the conference and fifth in the NCAA in the event.
Chappell, a senior from Jenison, placed fourth in the high jump at the Big Blue Classic with a mark of 2.16 meters. A personal best during the outdoor season, Chappell's mark places him second in Division II and first in the GLIAC.
Taking Player of the Week honors on the women's side were Taylor Stepanski of Saginaw Valley State and Jamie Sindelar of Ashland. Stepanski ran the 1500 meters at the Miami Invitational with a time of 4:32.91, placing her atop the GLIAC and 15th in the nation. Sindelar, who competed at the Akron Northeast Ohio Invitational, hit marks of 15.54m in the shot put and 47.97m in the discus throw. Both marks are tops in the GLIAC, and her throws rank second (shot put) and sixth (discus) in the nation.

More Than Half of Pregnancy-Related Deaths in the US Are Preventable
A new report highlights concerns about the care mothers-to-be get in US hospitals.
Maggie O'Neill
By Maggie O'Neill Updated May 08, 2019
Most of the pregnancy-related deaths that occur in the United States are preventable, the CDC said in a report released Tuesday.
The report notes that about 700 women die each year in the US due to complications related to pregnancy or childbirth. More than half of them die from preventable causes, and this issue disproportionately affects minority women.
CDC researchers studied pregnancy-related mortality ratios (PRMRs) for the new report. A PRMR is the number of pregnancy-related deaths that occur for every 100,000 live births. These deaths can occur not only during pregnancy itself but also during childbirth or up to one year after a baby is born.
Overall, the national PRMR for the years 2011 through 2015 was 17.2 maternal deaths for every 100,000 live births. But the PRMRs for black women and American Indian/Alaska Native were 3.3 and 2.5 times higher, respectively, than the PRMR for white women. For every 100,000 African American women who gave birth to a living baby, about 43 died. For American Indian/Alaska Native women, PRMR was about 33, while for white women it was only 13. "Significant racial/ethnic disparities in pregnancy-related mortality exist," the authors wrote.
Among the maternal deaths for which time of death was known, about 31% occurred while the mother was pregnant, and about 17% occurred the day the baby was delivered. About 19% occurred between one and six days after the mother gave birth, while about 21% occured between one week and 42 days postpartum. Just under 12% occured between 42 days and one year after giving birth.
RELATED: 8 Women on the Weird Symptoms That Made Them Realize They Were Pregnant
Leading causes of pregnancy-related deaths during this time period included cardiovascular conditions, bleeding, and infections. About 60% of maternal deaths studied for the report were preventable—a fact that did not differ among racial and ethnic groups, the authors noted.
The report says there is not a single quick fix to this highly complex problem. The fact that pregnant women and new mothers are dying from preventable causes raises concerns about the quality of care they get in US hospitals (as well as after they're sent home), the authors wrote—especially African American and American Indian/Alaska Native women.
"These data demonstrate the need to address the multiple factors that contribute to pregnancy-related deaths during pregnancy, labor and delivery, and postpartum," the authors wrote. "Reducing pregnancy-related deaths requires reviewing and learning from each death, improving women's health, and reducing social inequities across the life span, as well as ensuring quality care for pregnant and postpartum women."
A number of strategies could be put in place to improve the maternal death rate in the United States, the new report says. "In the postpartum period, follow-up care is critical for all women, particularly those with chronic medical conditions and complications of pregnancy," the authors wrote. (They mention hypertensive disorders, such as preeclampsia, as one specific example.) They also recommend that women who are at high-risk for complications be given access to facilities that can provide the specialized care they need.

What Is the Top Bass Lake In the US?
Best bass lake in the US?
Bassmaster Magazine has released the 2018 rankings for the 100 Best Bass Lakes in America, and Sam Rayburn Reservoir, Texas, has been named the No. 1 fishery in the country. Photo by B.A.S.S.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — After three years of hovering in the Top 5 of Bassmaster Magazine's 100 Best Bass Lakes rankings, Texas' Sam Rayburn Reservoir finally takes the crown for being the best bass lake in the nation for 2018.
The storied Lone Star State fishery has never ranked below 26th in the seven years the rankings have been published. However, the 114,500-acre lake started showing out in 2015, when it climbed to fifth. In 2016 it jumped to fourth. And last year, Rayburn was the bridesmaid, sitting in second place. But, Rayburn is a bridesmaid no more, and for the first time captures the title.
The process to create the rankings takes about three months to complete. Data is received from state fisheries agencies across the U.S. This is coupled with catch data collected from dozens of tournament organizations across the country from the past 12 months. After the numbers are crunched, a blue-ribbon panel from the bass fishing industry debates the strength of the lakes, then settles on the final rankings.
The rankings identify the Top 10 lakes in the nation regardless of location, as well as the Top 25 lakes in four geographical divisions. "By dividing the Top 100 into four regions, anglers have perspective on fisheries nearby," Hall explained.
Tennessee's Chickamauga Lake, which takes the No. 2 slot this year, made a strong argument for No. 1, as it also produced 40-plus-pound limits this spring. Yes, that was plural — two five-fish limits exceeding 42 pounds were landed this year. Although this 36,240-acre fishery hasn't produced quite as many big fish as Rayburn, there were two bass over 10 pounds recorded here since February, the biggest weighing 11.21 pounds.
California's Clear Lake landed in the No. 3 position on the strength of its production of big largemouth. Lake St. Clair, a former No. 1 in 2013, climbed from ninth last year to the fourth spot in 2018, while Minnesota's Mille Lacs Lake (last years' No. 1 fishery) fell to No. 5. The remainder of the nation's Top 10 are: sixth, Santee Cooper lakes (Marion/Moultrie), South Carolina; seventh, Diamond Valley Lake, California.; eighth, Thousand Islands (St. Lawrence River), New York; ninth, Lake Guntersville, Alabama; 10th, Falcon Lake, Texas.
Other highlights include the comeback of Lake Guntersville, which has finally turned the corner on several subpar years of production for the stalwart fishery. Newcomers to the rankings include Texas' Belton Lake, Arkansas' Lake Chicot, Maryland's Potomac River, Mississippi's Lake Ferguson and Oregon's Tahkenitch Lake.
Bassmaster's 100 Best Bass lakes will be published in a 12-page section of the July/August issue ofBassmaster Magazine. The complete rankings can also be found in Bassmaster.com photo galleries.

A beautiful good bye to Playa La Barqueta. Sunrise from our bedroom as we pack for the days journey.
Map of our bus trip from Playa La Barqueta to Santa Catalina.
What an experience! Karen and I booked a three day diving trip to Coiba Island, reported to be some of the best diving in Panama. The whole adventure started with a flawless bus trip that involved three different buses and a taxi trip between bus terminals in Santiago (Total travel time was just under 9 hours). Sometimes you will hear people complain about how slow things happen in Central America, or the lack of customer service (which are both true at times we have found), but when it comes to bus travel I have yet to experience a better system. It is true, when you first look at a bus terminal you can't imagine ever finding the bus you want, or that it will ever leave on time (it probably won't, get over it). But once you start asking directions, we have found people go out of their way to help you get to the right bus. It is not that they always come across as being happy about helping you (You are probably the 10th gringo that day to stumble up lost and confused asking for help in a foreign language). But none the less they at least point you in the correct direction. Just a note on that. If your experience is that the locals are consistently pointing you in the wrong direction perhaps you need to take a critical look at your demeanour when asking for assistance, just my personal opinion.
Santa Catalina is an "at the end of the road little surfing town" on the Pacific coast of Panama. If you don't like things "rustic" and don't surf or dive you may want to check out other vacation destinations. But if you enjoy a bit of adventure and a very social atmosphere, this is a great little town. We found some fantastic restaurants and the diving ……more on that to come.
A view across the Santa Catalina beach at low tide.

We spent our first night in Santa Catalina at the Santa Catalina Hotel. It was a bit of a rough beginning and I admit to losing my "Zen" for a bit (Karen was able to send me outside while she dealt with things). But all was resolved and the two nights we spent there after the dive trip were uneventful. The tour company we chose to go with was Scuba Coiba, owned by Herbie Sunk.
Scuba Coiba's shop, right by the beach in Santa Catalina.
We rent all of our gear when diving, as hauling all that equipment around the world is simply not worth the aggravation and cost, we believe. I know there are lots of divers that don't agree with that, but…… they're wrong. The gear we got was in good repair, and the one regulator that Karen had for her first dive that wasn't working quite right for her first dive was immediately replaced for the second dive. Not something you can always do when you only have your own gear to work with. Our Dive Master, Nick, was very good. Before all dives we received a briefing and knew whether we needed to stick with him or if it was ok to go exploring by ourselves. The two man crew on the dive boat were very good and had the equipment ready to go at the beginning of every dive. The only criticism I had was the Captain was transfixed with always using full throttle when travelling between sites. The surface conditions did not always concur with that speed which made for some rough rides occasionally.

We dove for three days at a variety of sites. Our two nights were spent in cozy dorm style bunk houses on Coiba Isla. It used to be a prison but was declared a Protected Area and has been transformed into a eco destination over the years.
Welcome to Coiba National Park.
The accommodation is advertised as very spartan and basic dorm rooms. They deliver exactly what is advertised. However, it was clean, the washrooms could use some work, and the rangers turned on a generator at night that allowed you to recharge batteries and have air conditioning (if all occupants of the room could agree) all night, which I thought was an amazing luxury.
Our humble home away from home for two nights on the island.
The diving….was spectacular. It was more challenging than anything Karen or I had done before which was fantastic. It allowed us to improve our skill set and confidence while enjoying some of the most amazing schools of fish we have ever seen. As well as seeing lots of White tip reef sharks (I know, to experienced divers you go, yawn, however, still cool to see for the first time) as well as Moray eels in numbers and variety that left us shaking our heads in wonder. Also diving with divers with much more experience than I allowed me to come to grips with and accept that I truly am an "air hog" and will nearly always be the first one surfacing during a dive. Humility is a good thing in some activities, it helps keep you safe.
One of the dozens of Moray eels we encountered on our dives.
We came upon a field of starfish. I was partial to these cuddling ones.
Karen all smiles as we head for another dive site.
Still smiling after 3 days of diving.
Some fishermen enjoying some down time in a secluded bay.
We did not get much of a chance to explore the island. However we did meet the resident crocodile (a solid 3 metres long) as well as Black Vultures truly comfortable with interacting with humans, rather disturbing at first.
This fellow lived just behind our bunk houses.
Vultures working hard to keep the beach and kitchen area clean.
One of the things I had never really thought about before was the effect visiting cruise ships have on a small locale. We happen to be on the island for two of the days a week that small cruise ships stop there. Wow! It is incredible to watch the landing party from the ship hit the beaches before any of the passengers are even awake and transform a third of the beach into a little "Club Med" for lack of a better term. The nice thing is these workers from the ships rake the garbage on the beach, tidy up the public restrooms and put toilet paper and soap out for the users of the washrooms. It is almost surreal watching the passengers come ashore and do their activities under the watchful eye of the ships crew. Don't get me wrong, I have done a couple of cruises and loved them. I just never had the opportunity to see all the work that goes into transforming a primitive site into a luxury spot in such a short period of time. It is quite amazing.
Paul Gauguin ship arrived on the second day of our stay.
Windstar Cruises arrived on our third day.
Panoramic sunrise shot from the lookout just above our settlement on Coiba.
Our last day was spent exploring Santa Catalina. We borrowed some bikes and peddled the short distance to Playa Estero. It is well worth the short trip. It is a beautiful beach at low tide. There are several wonderful restaurants and bars in town to check out during a stay there.
Posing with our bikes on Playa Estero.
The tour boats on Santa Catalina beach loading up for the days tours.
Off to Panama City next. Very excited for this next adventure.
Well written buddy. Sounds like a great adventure. Wicked pictures tho.
It was a lot of fun Bryce. Some lube would have been good for getting the wetsuits on and off constantly but we were able to overcome that. Glad you enjoyed the blog.

Manage Laboratoy consumables stock in QE51N or QA11.
When performing each analysis (within an Inspection Lot) should see the list of items and quantities consumed (with the ability to add or remove materials) and deduct the same stock at the time of recording the results (or taking Usage Decision).
Please could you help me? What Master Data should I create/modify?
I work with Inspection Plans (and Inspection Characteristics) in Good Receipts in Raw Material and Finish Goods.
Can you not create Laboratory consumables stock as "FHMI " type of material or something like capital Items which can give you QM view.Rest of the things will look like typical QM material undergoing inspection & consumption.
The method you suggested will never work for obvious reason that it does not have BOM .Second thing its Type FHMI Master.
You can consume the material by using the inventory mgt movement type & transations.Both ROH & FHM has to be treated seperatly.
I would usggest you to seek help of FICO & MM consultant for better process establishment.
The QA11 ("Inspection lot stock" label), should have the ability of consuming Laboratory consumables used during analysis.

Insufficient showings means your home is overpriced. In our market, if you get three or fewer showings in the first 30 days, the market is telling you your home is overpriced by at least 10%. If you get between 4 and 12 showings, you home is 4% to 7% overpriced. If you get 12 or more showings in the first 30 days, but no offer, your home is about 3% overpriced. For higher-priced or very unique properties, you should expect slightly fewer showings, but the conclusions remain the same. Make price adjustments quickly! The longer your home is on the market, the lower the eventual price will be.

Australia has a lot of cuckoos; unlike North American cuckoos, all are brood parasites (they lay their eggs in the nests of other species). This is the oriental cuckoo, a Northern Hemisphere breeder that winters in Australia; this one was in Darwin in the Northern Territory. It hasn't yet quite molted into adult plumage.

Are You Researching Therapeutic Boarding Schools in Calexico, CA for a Girl Misbehaving or Causing Self-Harm Due to Emotional Distress from Feelings of Abandonment (Adoption Issues) or a Major Loss or Trauma in Her Life?
If you have a teenage girl in your home displaying unacceptable behavior or is making inappropriate choices, Clearview Horizon may be a good place to start as you research therapeutic boarding schools in Calexico, CA.
While not in Calexico, California, Clearview Horizon works with girls from your town in a beautiful facility in the mountains nearby the year-round resort town of Sandpoint, Idaho. We are intentionally located in a remote area because an important part of therapy is for the girl to be far away from influences, issues and similar surroundings so that she can put those out of her mind. It also discourages teens in our care from considering connecting with peers and leaving our facility.
Young women who are having emotional and behavioral problems tend to be failing in school. Our academic program is intentionally computer-based, assisted by a licensed teacher, so that residents are able to get caught up and even get ahead in their schooling while they are at Clearview. We also provide tutoring when necessary, and regular academic progress reports are delivered to parents.
Clearview emphasizes a healthy, nutritionally-balanced diet along with physical fitness, restful sleep and fun times; all designed to teach a healthy lifestyle. Girls participate in many outdoor and recreational events during the year, as well as organized team sports. Girls in our care are also taken on regular camping and hiking outings in the beautiful and rugged mountains of Western Montana and Idaho. For spiritual support, girls are given encouragement and instruction by our Christian staff and can attend chapel services, but we also honor other faiths and will not force any faith on any resident or require them to participate in Christian services or studies.
Young women come to our therapeutic boarding school from across the nation, including from Calexico, California. We are proud of what our team of experts accomplishes with these girls, and we hope we have the privilege to also help your girl.
Please browse through our website to discover more about our therapeutic boarding school for girls, even though we are not located in Calexico, CA. Also, read some of our many success stories and feel free to ask us for references you can call.
Please Contact Us for More Information and the Tuition Rates for the Clearview Horizon Therapeutic Boarding School for Girls, though we are located in the Pacific Northwest, not in Calexico, CA.

Mr Lincoln has presided over more than 200,000 contributions to his forum so he's well placed to know what goes on – and he thinks most detectorists steal knowledge from the community and money from the landowners! How will detectorists react? Will they hurl invective against him like they do against any critic of laissez faire artefact hunting? Will they say he is a liar, an exaggerator, ill-informed, a publicity seeker, an elitist, a fascist, a communist, psychologically damaged, trying to get detecting banned? We can assume so.
Not that their reaction matters any more. The "listening and detente" that were the buzzwords for many years have been found wanting and have been dropped. What matters now is that the powers that be are coming to the profound realisation, drip by drip, that the happy-happy propaganda of success churned out for so many years by PAS is no longer convincing. "Old PAS" finally signed off by revealing they thought that 70% of recordable finds don't come to them, which fits with what we and Paul Barford and now Sheddy have suggested. Exposing what Sheddy really thinks when he's not on the radio won't bring Britain into line with the rest of the world, but it's a small positive step towards it.
Update, next day…. Some simple actions for the short term.
Last night yet another metal detecting thread (on a different, massive forum) was hastily deleted because "some forum members were not exactly following metal detecting code of conduct etiquette"and "it didn't make good reading" Fair enough, but why not leave it in place and explain for the benefit of all members the right way to conduct themselves? Well we know don't we? It's Sheddyism. Think one thing and let the public see something else.
But it's worse than that. Member Allecticus explained what had happened in the crudest of terms: "I can tell you what happened. A couple of the do gooding 'don't dig too deep', 'it's below the plough' blah blah, fecking blah blah fecking two-bob depth brigade turned up!…. fecking blah, blah planks! Just why the post got pulled because of them jealous cnuts…. I've no idea." In addition, his strapline is "Is that below plough depth? Who gives a 'flying'… hoik it out!!
Surely no-one, whether responsible detectorist, archaeologist or ordinary member of the public thinks people who talk and act like that should be on the fields, even in ultra-liberal Britain? It may be some time before Britain gets round to regulating the activity but in the short term can't detectorists exclude destructive oiks from their forums, clubs and rallies and can't New PAS put an article in the farming press warning farmers to make sure anyone on their fields is respectable and responsible?
PS…. still more Sheddyism today of a blatant nature. "Omegamike" makes the required noises:"We all know, well, sensible detectorists, once such a find is obvious it's time to bring in the FLO and the Archies and leave everything well alone". And Omega Mike's strapline??? …..
If in doubt…… DIG IT!
PPS…. Incidentally, the obnoxious posting by Allectus quoted above has now disappeared – but rather than slinging him off the forum in disgrace they've allowed this equally unacceptable posting from him to remain: "Grow a pair, put the thread back up & don't let the 'don't dig too deep' planks win! To those who disagree with digging deep there's always………. knitting". What can one say? It's all legal, innit?
Not sure about this as there seems to be a lot of smoke and mirrors.
Why is there so much apathy regarding this topic? Only 3 re-tweets and no likes? Do people really not care that much about what is being said?
"Boulder", I think the days are over when there were hundreds of heritage professionals who sincerely believed that "metal detectorists are generally a good lot and beneficial to our knowledge of the past". Formerly, in the days when we had a PAS public forum, and other venues – such as the Time Team public forum, those supporters would jump on cases like this and insist they were an aberration "not typical of the whole".
I think the frequency that this sort of thing constantly appears on the forums (and, as pointed out in the post above, the lack of opposing view from within the "responsible detecting" body) makes them realise that this is a perfectly widespread sort of attitude among detectorists which lies below the facade. Open support has become private despair – "what can we do?" shoulder-shrugging. The quiet is I think the lead up to the next change which should be "what should we do?". The obvious answer is change the law and change public attitudes to the pilfering of the archaeological record for private entertainment and profit. Have Britain's archaeologists got the guts for it?
« Silbury Hill: Bill Bryson gets it!


This is the mantra that Roy Williams, CEO of The Sovini Group, lives by as a leader and that stands as the driving force behind the company's successes and mammoth transformation over the past decade.
Much has changed since 2006 when housing association One Vision Housing was born following a stock transfer from Sefton Council, a service that at the time was falling short of meeting the government's Decent Homes Standard. Staff satisfaction stood at 62% and sickness absence at more than 8%. By 2011 a group structure had been formed under new name The Sovini Group and it had begun to insource a range of services.
Fast-forward to 2018 and the property development and management company now boasts record turnover for the 2017/18 financial year, 12 companies and circa 650 employees, not to mention staff satisfaction levels above 90% and sickness below 2%. It reads like an organisational fairy tale. So what's Williams' secret to success?
But Williams isn't alone in this commitment and – as he repeatedly points out – hasn't been alone in bringing home the group's successes. "The secret to our success is all the people who work for us. If we didn't have these people then we wouldn't deliver on our goals," he says.
Which is perhaps why the organisation was the first ever to achieve consecutive first places in The Sunday Times' 100 Best Companies to Work For lists in 2013 and 2014, won the Great Place to Work UK's Best Large Workplace 2018 and ranked fourth Best Large Workplace in Europe 2018. And it's why Williams was named the Most people-focused CEO of the year at this year's HR Excellence Awards. HR magazine caught up with Williams to hear firsthand how he's led the firm to where it is today.
Having worked in the housing sector since the 1980s, when he started out as a clerical officer in the council housing department for Liverpool City Council, Williams is no stranger to the importance of community spirit. But it's perhaps further back to his personal roots that this spirit can really be traced. "I was brought up on a council estate in Liverpool and my parents had a good work ethic. They instilled in me that you have to work hard for things and, above all else, be honest and discharge the faith others put in you with honesty and sincerity," he says.
It's a commitment Williams expects of all employees, with a number of initiatives in place to help staff get out into the communities they serve. Notable examples include going into local schools to "talk about the world of work", customers being invited into offices to talk about their experiences and views, and staff members who receive a customer compliment being recognised with a personal letter of appreciation from Williams. "Some customers get to know us so much that they or their families then go on to get jobs with us," Williams adds.
To foster such commitment from employees, Williams explains, it's necessary to build a "philosophy where we all work for each other".
"Everyone should feel that Sovini is their organisation; not that they are working for someone else." This means empowering employees up and down the organisation to take ownership and have a voice in its running.
"Every year every employee is brought into a room with me in groups of 20 to do a SWOT on the business and share ideas for change," he explains. Throughout the rest of the year there's a monthly staff group where people can voice suggestions for improving the business, the customer experience or the employee experience, and "see them come to fruition".
Williams is keen to point out that the fact Sovini operates across multiple locations mustn't stand in the way of this empowerment and voice. Senior managers from the different sites come together every week, and every manager across the business comes together for the managers' forum every six weeks to share successes, challenges or issues. "It's the notion that two heads are better than one so if one MD has a problem we can tackle it together," he says.
Then there's the less formal side to listening to employees. "I joke that people can come into my office and shout, scream, kick the chairs and challenge me – as long as they don't kick me," he says."I don't have the monopoly on good ideas," he adds.
For Williams a CEO should maintain that open-door personable touch regardless of how big the organisation grows.
The seemingly-simple things can be the most effective in creating this culture. "I make sure to meet with every new starter irrespective of their role or seniority so we can build the right relationship from the beginning," he adds.
Couple this with Williams' daily presence in the company bistro at lunch and it's clear this is a leader who wants to break down hierarchies. "I want people to know my name so it's only right that I get to know all of theirs," he asserts.
Flattening the hierarchy is just one aspect of Williams' wider commitment to people management. He points to employees supporting each other's professional development, flexible working opportunities, health and wellbeing initiatives, and child-friendly policies as also paramount to the firm's success.
Much of these centre around the importance of work/life balance. "If people have pressures at home as a consequence of work or because of anything else then they won't be able to give us as much," says Williams, adding that this recognition led to the creation of a strict email policy.

Newsner » News » Michael J. Fox's struggles to walk due to Parkinson's Disease, trolls attack him online till son rescues him
Michael J. Fox is an actor that has been loved by millions around the world for decades. He broke out on screens and into the hearts of the public in his iconic role as Marty McFly.
The actor has been dealing with some health issues in the last few years. He has always been open about his experiences and now he is talking about how Parkinson's Disease affected his acting career.
Michael J. Fox was only 29 years old when he got a devastating diagnosis; he found out he had Parkinson's Disease. He was at the peak of his acting career and knew he would not give up his craft because of his diagnosis.
Instead, he decided to use his diagnosis in his roles. In 2004, he played a doctor with obsessive-compulsive disorder on the show House. He also played a role in The Good Wife as Louis Canning, a lawyer who used his neurological condition to manipulate juries on his behalf.
But now as he turns 60 years old, the actor admits that it is getting harder and harder for him to act. He revealed that memorizing lines has become increasingly difficult for him to manage.
"When I did the spinoff from The Good Wife, which is The Good Fight, I couldn't remember the lines. I just had this blank, I couldn't remember the lines," he recently said on the Working It Out podcast.
The aspect of memory loss from his disease has made it hard for him to work as an actor, he used to be able to memorize lines in an instant but now it has become almost impossible for him to do so.
He recalled days when memorizing lines had been second nature to the actor. He said, "I knew it, like in an instant, and it continued to be that way for me. I['d] have 70 pages of dialogue on a [Brian] De Palma movie, and knowing that a hugely expensive Steadicam shot depends on me knowing the lines—not a trickle of sweat on my brow."
He no longer takes roles that require too many lines to be memorized. He said, "I can't remember five pages of dialogue. I can't do it." But he has taken this in stride, knowing there is not much he can do about it.

The actor revealed a few years ago that he started falling down for no reason. Though he knew his Parkinson's may have been a contributing factor, the actor himself soon came to realize something unrelated was happening with his body.
Fox had endured recurring problems with his spinal cord, but was reassured by doctors that it wasn't a life-threatening problem. That said, it was made it clear that it would affect his life if he didn't do something about it.
As per the New York Times, he said: "I was told it was benign but if it stayed static I would have diminished feeling in my legs and difficulty moving. Then all of a sudden I started falling – a lot. It was getting ridiculous. I was trying to parse what was Parkinson's and what was the spinal thing. But it came to the point where it was probably necessary to have surgery."
Fox underwent surgery on his spinal cord a few years ago, then embarked on a period of intense physical therapy. Unfortunately, though, his problems didn't end there.
"I did it all," he said, "and eventually people asked me to do some acting. Last August I was supposed to go to work. I woke up, walked into the kitchen to get breakfast, misstepped and I went down. I fractured the hell out of my arm. I ended up getting 19 pins and a plate. It was such a blow."

When quizzed on how he overcame said blow, he explained: "I don't talk about things being 'for a reason.'

"I do think the more unexpected something is, the more there is to learn from it. In my case, what was it that made me skip down the hallway to the kitchen thinking I was fine when I'd been in a wheelchair six months earlier? It's because I had certain optimistic expectations of myself, and I'd had results to bear out those expectations, but I'd had failures too. And I hadn't given the failures equal weight."
He has been writing a lot since his diagnosis. He released his fourth memoir, No Time Like the Future. His foray into writing was simple, the actor said, "My guitar playing is no good. My sketching is no good anymore, my dancing never was good and acting is getting tougher to do. So it's down to writing. Luckily, I really enjoy it."
The actor has never let his disease get him down. He founded the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research, which has till now raised over $1 billion in an effort to find a cure!
The actor has repeatedly talked about his optimism, saying, he told AARP, "If you can find something to be grateful for, then optimism is sustainable. At 60, I just feel like, in spite of this thing I carry every day, I love my life, I love my wife, I love my kids … Parkinson's is just this thing that's attached to my life. It isn't the driver … I'm really lucky, and I try to spread that luck around."
Recently the actor made headlines again as he reunited with his co-star from the Back to the Future franchise, Christopher Lloyd. They did a panel at an event and they spoke about how the principal photography had already taken place for Back to the Future when Fox was tapped to play Marty McFly.
"The announcement — at one o' clock in the morning after we were shooting for six weeks — was that the actor playing Marty would no longer be playing Marty, and that tomorrow, we would start shooting with Michael," Lloyd recalled, according to SyFy.
"I felt that I barely made it through the [first] six weeks and now I was gonna have to do it again?!"
Although Fox's mother was initially concerned about his prior commitment to Family Ties, Fox accepted the role.
"The chemistry was there from the first scene we had, it was alive, and it remained that way for three movies," Lloyd said. "It hasn't gone away, by the way."
During the panel at NYCC, Fox briefly spoke about his Parkinson's diagnosis.
"You guys have given me my whole life," he said.
The actor was diagnosed in 1991 and went public with his diagnosis in 1998. He founded the Michael J. Fox Foundation in 2000, and its mission is to find a cure for the disease. It is the largest nonprofit funder for Parkinson's disease.
"The best thing thing that happened in my life was this thing. Parkinson's is a gift. I've said to people it's a gift and they say, 'You're nuts.' I say, 'Yeah, but it's the gift that keeps on taking.' But it's a gift and I wouldn't change it for anything … It's not about what I have, it's about what I've been given."
In his latest appearance at a public event, the New York Comic Con, the actor walked on stage and was seen to be struggling to do so because of his Parkinson's diagnosis. While he struggled to walk on stage because of his tremors, fans in the hall cheered the actor on. Everyone was ecstatic about seeing the beloved actor in public after such a long time.
A post shared by Sam Fox (@palekidd)
While the actor has developed a thick skin over the years, sometimes he does not let rude comments slide. He does not often receive them but sometimes he is attacked by trolls. He shared an incident where he was attacked with a mean comment on the internet and instead of letting it go, he decided to reply to the rude comment.
He reached out to his 33-year-old son Sam for help in this matter. His son advised his father to "Do SMH," in this instance. When he asked what "SMH" even meant, his son told his father to trust him. The older actor did that and found the reply from the troll hilarious.
The three letters were enough to turn the troll into a fan. Fox recalled that the troll replied with "He answers me back 'That's the funniest thing I've ever read in my life. You're the king of the internet. I apologize for anything I said to you,' blah blah blah."
He asked him son what he had his father write that turned the troll into a fan so quickly, he elaborated on what the acronym meant; 'shaking my head.'
Even though we see Michael J. Fox as an optimist with a lot of compassion, even he has a limit to where he can withstand rude comments. It is good that he has children who can keep their dad on top of his games where comebacks are concerned.
There is no doubt about it; Michael J. Fox is as inspiring as they come. We wish him luck in his battle with Parkinson's Disease and also in his efforts to raise more awareness about it.
Share the story of Michael J. Fox with your friends and family to inspire them too!


Two people were killed and a third was critically injured in a car accident on I-40 in Raleigh, NC. A woman driving eastbound in the westbound lanes of the highway struck a small truck, killing herself and Job Hernandez, a passenger in the truck. The driver, Natanael Hernandez, suffered very serious injuries. The crash occurred on Sunday, July 15, 2012, around 2:30 in the morning.
Drivers can end up driving the wrong way for a variety of reasons. Because this car crash happened very early in the morning, it is possible that the driver who caused the crash was tired and got confused when she entered the highway. Or it is possible her driving ability was impaired by drugs are alcohol. Whatever the reason, she allegedly caused a head-on collision, one of the deadliest types of car wrecks. Because the cars hit each other going around 65 mph each, the combined speed was about 130 mph on impact.
The families of Job and Natanael Hernandez have suffered a tragic loss of one family member, and face an uphill battle of recovery for another. During this time of grief and healing, the family may want to contact a North Carolina car accident attorney to keep track of the details, file any insurance claims, and take any legal action that may become necessary.
Losing a loved one in an accident, especially a child or teen, can be devastating. Our North Carolina wrongful death attorneys have written an informative wrongful death report for those who have experienced this pain and are wondering what to do next.
Additional information regarding this subject can also be found on our wrongful death frequently asked questions webpage. The families of these men have our sympathy and we would welcome the opportunity to help them any way we can.


The Venice Carnival is the largest and most important Venetian festival,an event where art is present in its numerous forms like music,theater,dances and history.The Carnival has very old origins,since 1926(with an interruption lasting two centuries) and it takes place every year in February,celebrating the passage from winter to spring(my favorite season).The most important thing that has drawn my attention is the way that people wear beautiful costumes and masks.Following this idea I picked some photos with these precious Venetian masks.
Oh! Those masks are so freaky, but awesome nonetheless!
beautiful pics! i'd like to go to a carnival some time!
I love Venice and have always wanted to be there for the Carnival. This year the theme for Senior Ball at my school is a masquerade and I really want to wear a Venetian mask!


If it pleases you, use all that I am and have without reserve, wholly to accomplish what was said of you: "She will crush your head, and "You alone have destroyed all heresies in the whole world." Through my prayers and sufferings, let me be a fit instrument in your immaculate and merciful hands for introducing and increasing your glory to the maximum in all the many strayed and indifferent souls, and thus help, to extend as far as possible the blessed kingdom of the most Sacred Heart of Jesus. For wherever you enter you obtain the grace of conversion and growth in holiness, since it is through your hands that all graces come to us from the most Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Q: bootstrap with DataTables not stacking properly html:

I am trying to put my datatable within a col-sm-9 class so that it is responsive and will stack when resized. What happens though is that it stacks above my col-sm-3 class div and blocks it. I can't seem to find any examples about how to structure dataTables so that it is responsive. What I want is something like this:
   col-sm-9     col-sm-3
------------- -------------
| firstDiv  | | thirdDiv  |
| height:50%| |height:100%|
------------- |           |
------------- |           |
| dataTable | |           |
| height:50%| |           |
------------- -------------

height is a percentage of the row height.
I want the ".thirdDiv" will stack beneath the firstDiv and dataTable. Currently it stacks behind the dataTable.

A: Create two .row classes inside col-sm-9 and put your first div and datatable on each row.
Here is the sample

H1N1 makes it's seasonal debut
By Stephanie Neufeld
Monday, Dec. 30th, 2013
H1N1 influenza has claimed its first victim this season in Alberta, and Dr. Gerry Predy Alberta's senior medical officer of health says the number of confirmed influenza cases in the Edmonton doubled to 125 in the last week.
Predy added that while the number of infections and the death, are not unusual, but what is unusual us the number of people who have been seriously ill.
Predy is encouraging people to get a vaccination, and says this H1N1 strain has been around for about five years and hits people in their 30s, 40s and 50s harder than seniors, who are usually the ones getting very ill with other strains.


While sports take a lot of time, dedication and determination, soccer takes each of these to the next level. Soccer is a lifestyle, and the skills, both physical and mental, take many years to refine.
For varsity captain and sophomore Brittany Little, soccer has been a huge part of her life for many years.
Similar to Little, sophomore Kacy Shea participates in the sport outside of school on a club team. With so much to keep track of, it can be difficult to keep up with school work.
"It's really hard to get caught back up in complicated classes, especially when you miss as much as two days at a time," Shea said.
As if good grades weren't enough to maintain, the season's success rests on the shoulders of the team, which mostly consists of underclassmen.
On the varsity team, the presence of younger players has taught Little and Shea how to better communicate on the field.
"On our team, we have a bunch of younger players that are new, so it's taken us a little while longer to get close, but we're starting to build team chemistry," Little said.
As the season continues through May, the varsity team hopes to reach their goals for play offs.
"We control our own destiny," Pettibone said.


It is possible for individuals and businesses to avoid being forced into involuntary bankruptcy.
The more debt an individual or company incurs, the higher the risk becomes that creditors will file bankruptcy against them. This is referred to as involuntary bankruptcy, and in some cases, it may be justified. In other cases, it is necessary for the debtor to defend against involuntary bankruptcy petitions in order to avoid surrendering assets or being forced to sell them.
"Individuals or businesses who find themselves in receipt of an involuntary bankruptcy petition need to reach out to a qualified lawyer for help," said Kevin Ahrenholz, an Iowa bankruptcy attorney. If an individual or company is served with an involuntary bankruptcy petition, one of the first things that individual or company must do, aside from hiring a reputable bankruptcy lawyer, is find every record on file relating to paychecks, monthly bills, loans, mortgages and lines of credit. These documents are required to prove the amount actually owed to each creditor, versus what may be stated in an involuntary bankruptcy petition by a creditor. It is also helpful to provide a complete overview of net income and expenses, and then break down each month's financial activity. Bank statements can also be used as evidence of past payments to creditors. The idea is to demonstrate to the court that the debtor's financial picture is improving. If it can be proved that the debtor's financial liabilities are being paid, and he or she is making an effort to pay off debts owed, this is often enough to defeat an involuntary bankruptcy petition. If a debtor is able to prove that their debt is less than $10,000, this too may – in most states – defeat an involuntary petition.
Ahrenholz stated that the debtor has 20 days within which to file any complaints that he or she has against any creditor who has filed an involuntary bankruptcy petition against him or her.. When an objection is filed, the matter most often ends up in court. Once in court, the debtor can attempt to prove that the creditor merely filed the involuntary bankruptcy in order to gain favor over other creditors. The court may dismiss the petition, noting that the point of bankruptcy is to distribute assets evenly among all creditors and not just to select and prefer a few. In the event that the debtor is unable to convince the court that the bankruptcy is unnecessary, the best way for the debtor to recover a position of control is for the debtor to work towards converting the case into a Chapter 13 bankruptcy.

Apprentice reaches finals of BAME Apprenticeship Awards
We're delighted to announce that Aaminah Ahmed, Learner Services Apprentice, has been shortlisted as an 'Apprentice of the Year' in the BAME Apprenticeship Awards 2020, in the Legal and Professional Services category.
The BAME Apprenticeship Awards showcase the outstanding work and achievement of apprentices from black and minority ethnic groups (BAME) and inspires apprentices to reach their full potential.
Aaminah, 22, works in the Learner Services team at PM Training, where she supports learners to progress in their studies as they move towards their own apprenticeships. She said: "I'm delighted to have reached the finals. I want to help inspire a change in attitudes and opinions in my region and to use this opportunity to help raise the profiles of apprenticeships in general and help show young people they are able to reach their full potential no matter what their walk of life may be."
Nicola Hudson, Programme Manager at PM Training initially interviewed and recruited Aaminah, and guided her through her work trial. She said: "I first met Aaminah when she attended the training centre looking for support with securing an apprenticeship. It was clear from the interview that Aaminah was a bright, confident individual who had lots of qualities to offer.
"Following on from the interview, a department within our training centre began looking to take on an apprentice and Aaminah was the perfect fit. She successfully completed a work trial before being offered the apprenticeship. Throughout her trial, she showed great work ethic, enthusiasm and engaged well with students to promote apprenticeships."
Aaminah consistently shows a level of enthusiasm and pride in her work that is rare to see amongst any workers, not just apprentices. She views her apprenticeship as an opportunity; always going above and beyond to ensure she gets the most out of the experience, and going out of her way to help others.
Aaminah said: "I can see a bright future ahead for myself within the company. I aspire to be a great apprentice, and I am immensely grateful for the opportunity that PM training has given me. I have gained so much self-confidence and independence. My public speaking skills have greatly improved along with many other personal attributes. What I love the most about my job is that there is no limitation to learning. No two days are the same, as no two people are."
The awards also raise the profile of employers and training providers across the UK, who are championing the importance of diversity and inclusion in the workplace.
Dan Canavan, Executive Director of PM Training, said: "It's been great to see Aaminah progress within her apprenticeship. Everyone in the business knows her – she takes huge initiative and has an amazing energy. She truly deserves to win this award, but whatever the result she's clearly going to go far, as we can all see the huge potential Aaminah has to achieve in anything she aspires to."
The winners are scheduled to be revealed at a gala awards evening on Wednesday 11th November 2020, subject to Government guidelines and safety measures.

If you're moving to the Sacred Valley, it's actually not that difficult to bring your furry friends with you. Here's how.
If you're coming from the USA, you'll need a 'US Interstate and International Certificate of Health Examination for Small Animals' certificate from your vet. He or she will also have to give your pet a health check.
From Canada, the procedure is pretty similar, but you'll have to have your paperwork certified by your vet according to Canada Food Inspection Agency (or CFIA) regulations.
Flights from the USA and Canada aren't all that far, but if you're coming from a more distant country, consider whether the stress of taking several planes is worth it for your pet – there are no direct international flights to Cusco, so you will likely have to fly into Lima, find a hotel that takes pets, then book a connecting flight.
Speaking of flights, when making your reservations, book a ticket for your pet, too. If your pet is small, it may be possible to bring them into the cabin as carry-on baggage. If not, they'll have to travel in the cargo section, and you may have to pay an extra fee.
To be sure everything is in order, confirm several times with your airline to ensure they've reserved a space for your pet, and once you're on the plane, have the stewardess confirm that your pet is on board.
Once you pass through customs in Peru, you'll go to the baggage carousel. Animals are sometimes brought after luggage, to ensure their safety. After you get your pet, you'll have to pay a fee of around $35 USD at customs.
For more information, check with the Peruvian Consulate closest to you. And if it's too stressful for you to manage moving your pet, you can hire someone to do so for you, such as PetTravelCenter.Com.


Statistics is arguably the most essential math class any student will take. Nearly every department at the University of Utah requires some version of a statistics course to complete a B.S, M.S, or Ph.D. We need it to correctly understand the results of any poll, study, or experiment. Unfortunately, there is a shortage of statistics tutors in Salt Lake City.
Every student is capable of understanding statistics. It may seem difficult because the concepts are challenging and the numerous word problems are difficult to interpret. However, with enough time and practice, you will begin to recognize patterns and understand what methods to use in each type of problem. You will learn to identify important keywords and extract useful information.
I help students understand statistics by using real-world examples. I want students to see how the concepts apply to their own life. I use visualizations and concrete examples to reinforce complex ideas. From elementary statistics through advanced probability theory, there is always a way to break down sophisticated ideas into simpler pieces.
Ready for some statistics tutoring?
