Method 12: Skywriting / Why young people probably aren't voting
November 1, 2018 February 4, 2019 by Leigh Hopkins
Before I get to today's post, a quick reminder that the new course I'm co-facilitating at Corporeal Writing begins on Sunday. I've posted my thoughts on how my first online class with Lidia Yuknavitch revolutionized my writing career on Instagram.
Register for Epistemologies.
Step 12: Skywriting and Earthwriting
On Tuesday, The Intelligencer published the article "12 Young People on Why They Probably Won't Vote," and it stirred up frustration on social media when I posted it. Some of the reasons given by the 21-29 year olds interviewed were:
"I feel like the Democratic Party doesn't really stand for the things I believe in anymore. Why should I vote for a party that doesn't really do anything for me as a voter?"
"I'm trying to register in my hometown of Austin, Texas. It's such a tedious process to even get registered in Texas, let alone vote as an absentee. There's no notification service about the status of my voter registration."
"It was easier to get my medical-marijuana card — not a right, or even federally legal — than it was to register to vote."
"I vote when I feel like I have to. But I mostly consider it something that sucks a lot of people's time and energy away from actually building power with the people around them."
Don't blame them – blame us. This country is in desperate need of voter reform. If I could afford to hire a skywriter to fly across the country to tell everyone to vote on November 6, I'd do it. Skywriting is Step 12 in how to destroy a dictatorship, and although it's a rare art in the U.S. today, it's still used in nonviolent movements around the world.
For the love of everything, talk to every under 30 eligible voter in your life and encourage them to vote in this election. No vote means a vote FOR this. Click on the "I WILL VOTE" image below to find out where your poll place is, and please share the link – liberally.

To recognize the 125th anniversary of nurse anesthetist education and the role of nurse anesthetist at Mayo Clinic, Sharing Mayo Clinic will include a series of vignettes highlighting influential Mayo Clinic nurse anesthetists. Those featured received their education at Mayo Clinic and went on to be instrumental in providing anesthesia education and make significant contributions to anesthesia practice.
Florence Henderson (1874-1956) served as nurse anesthetist for Charles H. Mayo, M.D. She graduated from Bishop Clarkson Hospital Training School for Nurses, Omaha, Nebraska, in 1900. As superintendent of nurses at Bishop Clarkson, she learned and taught to administer ether and chloroform anesthetics. Hired by the Mayo brothers in 1904, Henderson moved to Rochester, Minnesota, and worked with Alice Magaw, known as the "Mother of Anesthesia." Under Magaw's expert mentorship, Henderson became an ether specialist.
At the Nurse Alumnae Convention in 1909, Henderson spoke about the importance of nurse specialists in delivering anesthetics and also debated the use of ether versus nitrous oxide anesthesia with Agatha Hodgins, future founder of the National Association of Nurse Anesthetists (a forerunner of the current American Association of Nurse Anesthetists), who was a nitrous oxide specialist.
In 1913, Henderson wrote and presented her paper "Ether Anesthesia" before the Southern Minnesota Medical Association. She was one of 16 speakers and the only nurse among the speakers. Henderson described her refined technique of open-drop ether and defended its use and qualities. Her paper was later published in the St. Paul Medical Journal.
Henderson considered the use of ether alone or combined with local anesthesia to be the safest method within her practice. Her teamwork with Dr. Charles H. Mayo over 10 years required a very dependable anesthetic for his predominant specialty of thyroid and goiter operations. Henderson stressed the importance of vigilance, frequency of practice, and the use of suggestion to gain the confidence of the patient and smooth the excitement phase of the ether induction.
During Henderson's career at the Mayo Clinic she gave more than 13,000 anesthetics, and as chief nurse anesthetist, taught many nurse anesthetists her open-drop ether technique. Following her retirement, she was a key witness in the 1930s trial of Dagmar Nelson vs. Chalmers–Francis, which established the giving of anesthetics as a nursing specialty.

Q: Is it possible/advisable to register a MS CRM plugin WITHOUT using the registration tool provided by microsoft Basically I am looking at doing remote deployment of custom plugin and workflow to an IFD MS CRM deployment.  This means that the tool provided by Microsoft cannot be used.
Does anyone do this?
Is it advisable or not?
What resources are available?
I've done a lot of google-ing and reading and it seems like everyone is using the deployment tool.

A: Absolutely. There are a series of entities that you need to set up to do this. If I'm not mistaken, the SDK includes the source for a plugin registration tool... you can look at that to see how it's done, and you'd just need to update it to work with IFD.

Good-looking interface, lots of free options offered on the main page, and nice testimonials – these are the main details we see when opening the JustBuyEssay paper writing service. Is this description relevant to their real service that this company provides? It is what we are going to tell you at the end of this JustBuyEssay review after conducting an experiment. We have ordered an article at this website, paid money, and underwent the step-by-step procedure of getting the task done. Now we are ready to share with you our real experience so that you know what to expect when making an order at this essay writing service.
To begin making an order, a student has to click on the table situated conveniently on the right of the main page. Here you can also see the variety of writing types. The program offers three main sub-kinds. These are editing, writing, and slides. It means that here we can also order a Powerpoint presentation, which is a huge plus for this essay service.
There is an option of selecting the academic level of your essay typer. We assume that it is where the further choosing process goes subdivided to get the most suitable writer for the client. We have clicked on the college level.
Now we got to the deadline option. The earliest one is 6 hours which is pretty good for any student who needs to get a short essay on a simple topic. We have decided to take three days for the deadline, and the system showed $60 to pay.
After clicking the proceed bottom, we get to the following page which has much more subdivided categories to include. Here you can add all the details about your paper. It's vital to mention that all the main aspects are included: format, title, spacing, and even the option of express checkout. It is really convenient and quick for students. However, in the next sections, we will discover something more intriguing about the facts which JustBuyEssay tried to hide on their website.
When talking about service, we have decided to find the JustBuyEssay сomment function with the available feedbacks online. It is vital to mention in this JustBuyEssay overview that the feedback system is not included as well. Although you can see positive testimonials at the end of the main page when scrolling it down, they don't look quite realistic. Smiling people look like Google images taken from the free pictures.
We say this firmly because after receiving the order there wasn't any opportunity to leave our feedback. Even when we asked to write the feedback, the support service representative kindly explained that not all customers can leave their opinion about the service. Anyway, it's up to you to decide whether to believe these testimonials or take them with a pinch of salt.
We didn't stop on reading only positive "mechanic" testimonials offered on the website but went further. There are lots of other unbiased websites where students share their real-life experience of using similar college essay editing service. We were taken aback when started to read only negative comments: high prices, missed deadlines, high plagiarism rate. I scrolled down the comments and managed to find lots of positive ones as well: discounts offers, high quality, professional attitude. We couldn't understand how one and the same service can receive so different testimonials. And we decided that the user experience depended on the writer that you get as well as the support service representative. The quality may vary but it's not news that such services depend on the human factor.
Taking objectively the pricing of this essay editing service, we have come to the conclusion that the pricing is still higher than average. The price doesn't very much if you take longer or shorter deadlines. For our 3 pages essay on a simple topic for 3 days paying $60 dollars is honestly too much. If I have that assignment, I would rather prepare this essay by myself. As for the editing service, it is cheaper but higher in $5-10 than other similar websites.
One thing that attracts loyal customers at JustBuyEssay is the discount option. Not many websites offer this opportunity for clients. All you have to do is to type the code which you get when inviting a friend or taking new orders. This system of loyalty does attract previous clients to order more papers only here. For these reasons, the initial high price can be explained.
Before we have received the final paper we decided to browse via the website to find samples or free texts. There is a category with such works on the sample papers page. However, there weren't many articles available. Moreover, the spectrum of subjects is very narrow. It looks that the company has only started to develop this category. Also, the database is not available online for free. You need to pay to get the entire text. At this moment there are not enough papers for understanding the quality of texts.
When we have received our 3-pages essay, we gave it to a professional editor for clarifying the real quality. He said that the paper was well-structured with a clear thesis statement. The topic sentences, arguments, and examples were put in a logical way to convince the reader. However, there were several minor mistakes in grammar which deprived us of saying that the text is ideal. Having said that, the essay was well-written and deserved an A.
We received the paper on time without any delays. It shows that 3 days were enough for the company to prepare the work before the deadline. Although we don't know what happens with hot orders with the deadline of 6 hours, we can say that the average timing is met well.
Website. A simple interface, availability of urgent order from 6 hours, the ability to specify all the main details of the work.
Quality of service – justbuyessay review. Good quality, students can get a mark A.
Delivery. Online service provides work without delay.
Discounts. The service offers a good discount system for its regular customers.
Quality of service. The quality of work and service directly depends on who is the executor.
Reviews. Real customers have no opportunity to leave a review, most likely available reviews on the site fake.
High prices. Prices are higher than average, for the urgent orders the price is too high.
Taking everything into account, we would like to highlight the key positive and negative features of using the JustBuyEssay service. We'll begin with the negative ones: high prices for papers even with longer deadlines, false feedbacks on the website, many negative comments from real students, a small database with samples. As to the positive aspects: availability of very urgent tasks, clear interface for making an order, quick order processing, discounts system, high-quality texts, and clear subdivision of task requirements. For these reasons, we can put the final grade of 7 out of 10 because of the mentioned above results. Read more on this website blog to find out about other writing services and true client's experience.

Heads Up: Your FBI Characters Will Now Carry Different Pistols
July 14, 2016 July 12, 2016 / Ben
The FBI will switch from .40 caliber Glock pistols to 9mm Glock pistols. The rest of the country's law enforcement agencies, which frequently use .40 caliber pistols, will likely follow suit. (Image via Wikipedia)
TLDR: If your story is set in late 2016 or beyond, depict FBI characters carrying 9mm Glock semi-automatic pistols instead of .40 caliber Glocks.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) announced a change to its standard issue semi-automatic pistols last month that could impact some works of fiction. The agency will switch over to 9mm Glock pistols, a departure from .40 caliber models standard since the late 1980s.
Why the Switch?
The Glock 17, pictured here, or a similar 9mm model will be the standard issue for FBI agents going forward. FBI characters in stories set in late 2016 or beyond should be depicted using 9mm Glock semi-automatic pistols. (Glock image)
It's not uncommon for government agencies to change up the firearms they issue, and the FBI is no exception. This actually marks a return to the 9mm, which was the agency's standard caliber until a shootout that claimed two agents' lives in 1986 demonstrated its obsolescence. In came the .40 caliber pistols, which were the standard until now. A new crop of 9mm ammunition offers better ballistic results and more versatile performance.
In June 2016, the FBI announced that Glock won the contract to deliver these 9mm pistols. The exact models haven't been revealed yet, but they're likely to include the Glock 17 or something similar. When the U.S. Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command started a similar transition in 2015 (moving away from the .45 instead of the .40 in this case), it chose the 9mm Glock 19.
What's Leaving? .40 Caliber Glock Pistols
So long, Glock 23. (Glock image)
Up until now, the Glock 22 and the Glock 23, both .40 caliber models, were standard issue for FBI agents. That's why I equipped two FBI characters with them in my crime novel, The Invisible Hand, and suggested writers do the same in The Writer's Guide to Weapons. Unfortunately, both of those references will be outdated in the future.
That's why it's worth double-checking government firearms when you write about them in fiction. What was true yesterday may not be tomorrow.
A Larger Trend for Law Enforcement Characters
This marks the beginning of the end of the .40 caliber's ubiquitous use by law enforcement in the United States. Federal, state and local governments look to the FBI for guidance on handgun purchases, so expect a gradual phasing in of the 9mm in the years to come.
For example, the DEA, the U.S. Marshalls, the ATF, the U.S. Postal Service, certain areas of the Department of Defense and several other federal agencies will receive 9mm Glocks as part of this contract.
That's right. The Postal Service.

Cadaver Tomb of René of Chalon
Life sized funerary statue and memento mori
Ligier Richier, upper section of the Transi de René de Chalon, c. 1545–47
Full view with black marble columns and altarpiece
The Cadaver Tomb of René of Chalon (French: Transi de René de Chalon, also known as the Memorial to the Heart of René de Chalon or The Skeleton) is a late Gothic period funerary monument, known as a transi, in the church of Saint-Étienne at Bar-le-Duc, in northeastern France. It consists of an altarpiece and a limestone statue of a putrefied and skinless corpse which stands upright and extends his left hand outwards. Completed sometime between 1544 and 1557, the majority of its construction is attributed to the French sculptor Ligier Richier. Other elements, including the coat of arms and funeral drapery, were added in the 16th and 18th centuries respectively.
The tomb dates from a period of societal anxiety over death, as plague, war and religious conflicts ravaged Europe.[1] It was commissioned as the resting place of René of Chalon, Prince of Orange, son-in-law of Duke Antoine of Lorraine. René was killed aged 25 at the siege of St. Dizier on 15 July 1544, from a wound sustained the previous day. Richier presents him as an écorché, with his skin and muscles decayed, leaving him reduced to a skeleton. This apparently fulfilled his deathbed wish that his tomb depict his body as it would be three years after his death. His left arm is raised as if gesturing towards heaven. Supposedly, at one time his heart was held in a reliquary placed in the hand of the figure's raised arm. Unusually for contemporaneous objects of this type, his skeleton is standing, making it a "living corpse", an innovation that was to become highly influential. The tomb effigy is positioned above the carved marble and limestone altarpiece.
Designated a Monument historique on 18 June 1898, the tomb was moved for safekeeping to the Panthéon in Paris during the First World War, before being returned to Bar-le-Duc in 1920. Both the statue and altarpiece underwent extensive restoration between 1998 and 2003. Replicas of the statue are in the Musée Barrois in Bar-le-Duc and the Palais de Chaillot, Paris.

2.1 Altarpiece and frame
5 Provenance and conservation
Statue[edit]
The statue is 177 cm (70 in) in height, and made from black marble and limestone.[2] It consists of three limestone blocks which form the skeliton's head and torso, left arm, and legs and pelvis.[3] Both the statue and its frame are supported by an iron stud located at the figure's pelvis.[3] The corpse is life-sized, putrefied and emaciated, and hangs above the church altarpiece. Its left arm reaches out, while its right hand rests on its chest. The outstretched arm may have once have held René's preserved heart, and extended in a gesture that may have been either pleading or tribute to a higher being.

Unknown artist, La Mort Saint-Innocent, 1520s, 120 x 55 cm (47.2 x 21.7 in). Musée du Louvre[4]
The rotting skeleton is depicted in an unflinching realistic manner,[5] and placed on a stylobate supported on two black marble columns with Corinthian capitals.[6] A coat of arms is placed underneath the figure,[2] while the escutcheon is empty. The figure has been described as a "rotting corpse with shredded muscles falling from the bones and skin hanging in flaps over a hollow carcass".[7]
His left hand reaches upwards as if pleading to heaven or God.[2] The gesture may be in reference to the biblical passage from Job 19:26: "And though after my skin, worms destroy my body, yet in my flesh shall I see God".[8] The gesture may represent contrite pleading or supplication, or the ability of the spirit to overcome mortality.[5] The art historian Kathleen Cohen writes that the monument may be an illustration of the "doctrine of corruption as a necessary step toward regeneration".[9]
René's outstretched hand stolen by a French soldiers in 1793.[8] It was later replaced, but shown holding either a clepsydra or hourglass, obvious symbolic objects for a memento mori. However, that placement changed the meaning of the sculpture, from a representation of René to a depiction of the personification of death or as a danse macabre.[10][11]
Death of René of Chalon and tomb commission[edit]
René of Chalon, Prince of Orange and stadtholder of Holland, Zeeland, Utrecht and Gelre, died on 15 July 1544, aged 25, during the siege of St. Dizier where he fought for Emperor Charles V.[5] René had been mortally wounded in battle the previous day, and died with the Emperor in attendance at his bedside.[12] He died without leaving any direct descendants. Charles wrote soon after to René's wife, Anna of Lorraine (d. 1568), setting out in detail the circumstances of René's last hours and death.[9] The monument apparently fulfills his wish that he be represented above this tomb as an écorché, that is a body without skin, and "as he would be three years after his death".[13] Cadaver tombs had been built for other members of the family, including his father Henry III of Nassau-Breda, his uncle Philibert of Chalon,[14] his grandmother, and the uncle of his wife.[15] René requested that his tomb present him "not as a standard figure but a life-size skeleton with strips of dried skin flapping over a hollow carcass, whose right hand clutches at the empty rib cage while the left hand holds high his heart in a grand gesture".[16]
Jan van Scorel, René of Chalon, 1542
René's intention has never been definitively attributed, and there is no mention of it in either Charles' letter or René's will. Given this lack of record and that, at only 25 years, René was unlikely to have previously thought closely about his own burial and memorial, it seems most likely that the idea behind the design came from Anna. She is known to have commissioned the piece from Ligier Richier,[9] who was then little known outside his local area of Saint-Mihiel in north-eastern France, but is today considered one of the most important sculptors of the late Gothic period.[5][17] Although the precise dating is uncertain, it is known to have begun after 1544 and was completed before 1557.[18] The tomb has become his most well known and influential work.[18]
Jan van Scorel, Portrait of Anna of Lorraine, 1542
In accordance with funeral rites of the time, René's heart, bowels, and bones were separated. His heart and bowels were kept at Bar-le-Duc and placed in the Collegiate Church of St. Maxe, which was demolished during the French Revolution and abandoned in 1782,[18] while the rest were transferred to Breda to be interred with his father and his daughter, who died in early infancy. His widow commissioned Richier to construct a transi to hold some of the remains of her husband. The monument, along with other remains and relics of members of his family, were reinterred at the church of Saint-Étienne in June 1790.[19]
Anna commissioned the tomb as a memento mori,[20] but the level of detail she may have specified is uncertain. It is perhaps Richier's best-known work, remarkable for its original presentation of a "living corpse", a motif unparalleled in earlier funerary art. He produced one more work in a similar vein, his Death, now in the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Dijon.[1] Both works are comparable in form and intent to the 1520s La Mort Saint-Innocent originally from the Holy Innocents' Cemetery in Paris, now in the Musee du Louvre. In that work, a realistically depicted and severely emaciated corpse raises his right hand upwards while holding a shield in his left hand.[1]
Altarpiece and frame[edit]
The frame consists of black marble octagonal panels set in white stone, between which were twelve small corbel statuettes measuring between 38 and 40 cm (1.25–1.3 in) in height. None remain today; six are known to have been destroyed in November 1793 during the French Revolution. The escutcheon above the statue is missing its emblem.[2]
The altarpiece is made from black carved marble and limestone and measures 267 x 592 cm (105 x 233 in). Its top-slab is taken from the former tomb of Henry IV, Count of Bar (d. 1344) and Yolande of Flanders (d. 1395). The black slab contains two series of inscriptions which are also later additions. The coat of arms of Bar and Lorraine were added to the front face in 1810 at the request of the then vicar of Saint-Étienne, Claude Rollet.[21] The funeral drapery is also a later addition.[2]
Interment of nobles of the Duchy of Bar
The altar holds a glass-covered reliquary for the bones of other royals and nobles of the Duchy of Bar, and includes the remains of Henry IV and his wife Yolande, Robert, Duke of Bar (d. 1411) and his wife Marie of France (d. 1404), as well as those of their son, Edward III, Duke of Bar (d. 1415). Other possible internees include Frederick I, Duke of Upper Lorraine, Edward I, Count of Bar (d. 1336) and Mary of Burgundy (b. 1298). The mural on the wall behind the statue was painted by Varembel Barber in 1790.[3]
Interpretation[edit]
Cadaver tombs, in France known as transis, were intended to show the human body's "transition" from life to decomposition. Art historians debate this particular example's meaning, specifically the symbolism of the raised hand and what it originally held. At one time, the raised hand is supposed to have contained the prince's actual dried heart.[8]
The effigy is viewed by art historians in two distinct ways. The more literal interpretation is that the tomb is a dedication commissioned by a loving and pious wife. Other scholars, including Bernard Noël and Paulette Choné, read deeper meaning, and invoking a sense of the "spirituality of death",[22] view the work as a comment on both the inevitability and effect of death. These opposing interpretations were juxtaposed in 1922 by the novelist Louis Bertrand when he wrote that the tomb may represent either despair or a romantic ideal of the eternal spirit.[23] A further interpretation is that the work represents a mark of penance or repentance of past sins.[5]
François Pompon, Statue at the Tomb of Henry Bataille in Moux, 1922
A copy of the cadaver for the Palais de Chaillot was produced in 1894. François Pompon made a further copy in 1922 for the tomb of the playwright and poet Henry Bataille at Moux, while another replica is in the Musée Barrois in Bar-le-Duc.[24][25] Death, an unattributed 16th-century sculpture realistically depicting a corpse wrapped in a shroud, now in the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Dijon (catalog number 743), is very similar, but much smaller.[26]
The first literary reference to the Transi appears in Louis Des Masures' 1557 Epitaph on the Heart of René de Chalon, Prince of Orange,[27][28] and a photograph of the statue appears on the cover of the 1992 Faber edition of the book.[29] The French poet Louis Aragon evoked the tomb in "Le Crève-cœur", published in 1941.[30] It inspired the titular poem in Thom Gunn's 1992 collection The Man with Night Sweats; elegies written in the aftermath of the deaths of friends from AIDS.[31] The poems includes the lines "My flesh was its own shield:/Where it was gashed, it healed. / Stopped upright where I am / Hugging my body to me / As if to shield it from / The pains that will go through me".[32] Simone de Beauvoir details her first encounter with the tomb in her 1974 autobiography All Said and Done, describing it as a "masterpiece" of a "living man...already mummified".[33]
The tomb was designated as a Monument historique on 18 June 1898.[3]
Provenance and conservation[edit]
Replica at the Palais de Chaillot
The tomb was originally placed in the collegiate church of Saint-Maxe in Bar-le-Duc, where it was positioned over a vault which may have held the hearts of René, his father-in-law Antoine, Duke of Lorraine,[34] and other members of his family.[19] It was moved to the church of St Ėtienne in 1782 when the former site was abandoned. It was moved to the Panthéon in Paris during the First World War and was returned to Bar-le-Duc in 1920.[3]
Due to humidity and contact with water, the tomb has suffered damage over the centuries. It was restored in 1969 by Maxime Chiquet d'Allancancelles. Both the statue and altarpiece underwent further restoration between 1998 and 2003. In 1993 both the retable and the tomb were classified as historic monuments, and underwent restoration.[3] An extensive assessment and historical study commissioned by the Direction régionale des affaires culturelles in 1998 was followed by a condition assessment and recommendations in 2001.[3]
The 2003 restoration was conducted in stages, beginning with the dismantling of the statue which was painstakingly cleaned with cotton buds, before the altar was dismantled to clean its back wall. Microcrystalline cellulose wax was used to polish both the back wall and side columns. The restorer Françoise Joseph cleaned the mural, brightening the colours, and during the process discovered decorations at each of its four corners. Because the church's basement is often water-logged in winter, the mural had been damaged by humidity. Repairs to the statue included the removal of wrinkles, splinters, cracks, and graffiti; much of the work centered on areas around the groin, knee and pelvis. The iron fasteners were removed and replaced with stainless steel studs, removing the future risk of oxidation.[3]

Germany surrendered at 11 am on November 11th 1918. The country had run out of food, ammunition and public support for the war. The Kaiser, faced with revolution, abdicated and fled to Holland, which had been neutral during the Great War. With his departure, Germany became a republic.
Once the war was over, Britain, France, Italy, and the United States met at Versailles in Paris to determine what the terms of peace would be. Canada was not initially allowed to participate in the discussions, despite the great contributions that had been made to the war effort.
Britain did not want Canada there because they feared other dominions within the empire would want the same rights.
The U.S. didn't want Canada there because they thought it would give Britain a stronger voice in the negotiations, and thus, an unfair advantage.
Through perseverance, Canada was finally allowed to send 2 delegates to the talks.
Germany was not allowed to attend the Peace Conference.
1. MODERATELY, so as to NOT provoke the German people into wanting revenge.
The establishment of an international organization called the "League of Nations" to prevent international conflict.
This was the approach the British and French preferred.
Wanted German colonies in Africa.
Wanted the territory of Alsace-Lorraine, lost to the Germans in the Franco-Prussian War in 1871, back.
The national groups in Europe should, wherever possible, be given their independence. Wilson supported the idea of National Self-Determination, whereby a nation had the right to self-government.
Russia should be allowed to operate whatever government it wanted.
Germany should give up Alsace-Lorraine and any lands taken away during the war.
The Italian frontier should be readjusted.
Poland should be given an outlet to the sea.
The defeated nations should not be made to pay for the war as a whole.
A 'League of Nations' should be formed to protect world peace in the future.
When the Germans surrendered, they believed that the treaty was going to be based on Wilson's more moderate 14 Points, however none of the powers would come to complete agreement on its terms. Finally, after 6 months of negotiations, everyone involved was able to compromise. The proposals put forward by Britain and France formed the basis of the treaty, which incorporated some, but not all, of Wilson's 14 Points. The Germans were extremely upset with the final result, especially since they had not been allowed to take part in any of the negotiations. The seeds for future world conflict had been sewn.
How Did the German People React to Versailles?
16% of her coal fields.
50% of her iron and steel industry.
With a small army and navy, no air force and a war debt of $33 billion (approximately $145 billion today) to be paid off, it was no wonder that the Germans were so upset. German resistance to signing the treaty was growing.
The head of the new German republic, Friedrich Ebert, had not even been invited to the Paris peace conference. But Germany was in no position to fight the terms of the treaty. The new republican government had been compelled to flee Berlin as a result of riots and an attempted communist revolution. Despite the overwhelming level of protest by the population, the German government was compelled to sign the Treaty of Versailles on June 28th 1919. Ebert had been told if he did not sign, then the Entente powers would invade and occupy Germany.
What About the Other Triple Alliance Countries?
Treaty of Saint Germain 1919: with Austria. Austria lost all of her former empire and had to restrict her military capacity.
Treaty of Neuilly 1919: with Bulgaria. Bulgaria lost land to Greece, and had to restrict her military capacity.
Treaty of Trianon 1920: with Hungary. Hungary lost all of her former empire and had to restrict her military capacity.
Treaty of Sevres 1920: with Turkey. Turkey lost all of her former empire and had to restrict her military capacity.
The Germans were also to take full blame for the war: the "war guilt" clause.
A "League of Nations" was to be created. This would be a security organization dedicated to the preservation of global peace. It would be comprised of many countries who would united and send their militaries to fight future aggression together if discussion and peaceful resolutions didn't work. Germany was NOT allowed to join the League of Nations.
Article 231: The "War Guilt Clause". This stated that Germany, and Germany alone , was responsible for causing the First World War and all its loss and damage.
Germany's army would be reduced to 100000 men (Germany would no longer be a world power).
All of Germany's U-boats (submarines) would be destroyed.
All of Germany's heavy artillery would be destroyed.
All of Germany's military aircraft would be destroyed.
Germany's navy would be reduced in size – they were only allowed to retain 6 battleships.
Conscription was banned – soldiers had to be volunteers.
The German Rhineland (the land between France and Germany) would be demilitarized, and occupied by French troops for 15 years.
Alsace-Lorraine, the territory lost by the French in the Franco-Prussian War, was returned to France.
The Saar, a rich coal mining territory in Germany, was to be occupied and exploited by the French.
14% of German territory would be turned over to the new Polish State. This would include a Corridor, which would separate the German province of Prussia (a rich farming region for Germany) from the rest of Germany and allow Poland access to the sea. The Polish capital, Danzig, was to be a free city run by the League of Nations.
Germany would pay WAR REPARATIONS to the Allies, in installments, until 1984. The amount would be 144 Billion Gold Marks, or $33 Billion ($145 Billion today).
Anschluss (union) between Germany and Austria-Hungary was forbidden.
Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania became independent states.


Baxter International Inc. (NYSE: BAX), a global medical products company, today announced an agreement with Dorizoe Lifesciences Limited (Dorizoe), a full-service global contract research and development (R&D) organization, that will facilitate accelerated development of more than 20 generic injectable products—including anti-infectives, oncolytics and cardiovascular medicines. Dorizoe will work with Baxter to perform certain product development activities, and Baxter will hold worldwide manufacturing and commercialization rights. Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
Baxter estimates that the global sterile generic injectables segment is more than $40 billion, with a compound annual growth rate of approximately 10 percent (2010 – 2015). Baxter currently participates in a niche portion of the segment, producing difficult-to-manufacture oncology drugs and standard-dose, ready-to-use premixed injectable products.
Baxter recently announced plans to expand its presence in the space with the pending acquisition of Claris Injectables Limited (Claris). The acquisition of Claris, which is expected to close in the second half of 2017, will provide Baxter with a currently marketed portfolio of molecules in anesthesia and analgesics, renal, anti-infectives and critical care in a variety of presentations including bags, vials and ampoules along with a robust pipeline and high-quality manufacturing capabilities. Baxter also recently announced a strategic partnership with ScinoPharm—one of the world's leading active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) manufacturers—to develop, manufacture and commercialize five generic injectables used in cancer treatment, with an option to add up to 15 additional injectable molecules.
Dorizoe provides services for pharmaceutical companies including formulation development, analytical development, tech transfer and regulatory filing support. This agreement will build upon Dorizoe's R&D expertise and Baxter's differentiated technologies, advanced manufacturing capabilities and global marketing and hospital channel presence to help accelerate the introduction of Baxter's generic molecules into the market.
Dorizoe Lifesciences Limited is a full service global contract research and development organization specialized in various dosage forms including parenteral, topical, inhalation, ophthalmic and oral liquid. Founded as a contract laboratory in 2007, Dorizoe provides product development and technology transfer solutions to pharmaceutical companies worldwide. Dorizoe works closely with API suppliers and contract manufacturing organizations globally to deliver a one-stop solution to customers.
This release includes forward-looking statements concerning the entry by Baxter and Dorizoe into a development agreement, including expectations regarding the number of molecules to be developed under the partnership agreement and Baxter's presence in the global injectables segment. The statements are based on assumptions about many important factors, including the following, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements: the ability of Baxter and Dorizoe to develop, manufacture and commercialize new molecules in accordance with the terms of the agreement; continued strength in the financial position, including cash flows, of Baxter and Dorizoe; Baxter's ability to close the Claris transaction, successfully integrate the business and realize the benefits of the acquisition; actions of regulatory bodies and other governmental authorities; changes in laws and regulations; and other risks identified in Baxter's most recent filing on Form 10-K and other SEC filings, all of which are available on its website. Baxter does not undertake to update its forward-looking statements.

Wrong Turn 7 is set to return but as a "Reboot"! The Gross Cannibalistic Movies to Feature A New Cannibal Family


Ryan and Jenna Lusic's love was a lifetime in the making. Having both come from Croatian families and being raised in San Pedro, Ryan and Jenna grew up knowing each other, and working alongside the other's family.
The history between their families runs deep, as both of their didas (grandfathers) were involved with the Dalmatian-American Club. Ryan's dida ran the catering for the club with Jenna's mom and aunt both waitressing for him. When he passed away, Ryan's dad and two uncles took over and Jenna, her sister and cousins began work there while Ryan bartended. Likewise, Jenna's dida was the manager at Glendale Federal Bank where Ryan's mom worked for many years.
However, it wasn't until Jenna and Ryan worked together a second time that they realized they wanted more than a friendship.
Jenna, 26, daughter of Tim and Margie Meadows, began working at the Trump National Golf Club when she was 18. Ryan (or "Hatch" – a nickname given by his dad when he was born because of his "hatchet head"), 31, son of Nick and Kris Lusic, began working at Trump when he was 20. But because he is five years older than Jenna, he had already been working at Trump for three years by the time Jenna joined the staff.
The staff would often get together after work to hang out, which resulted in Hatch and Jenna's friendship blooming into something more. In May 2006, they began dating. As Jenna would puts it, "Everything just fell into place." So much so, they got their first dog, Bailey, together the very next year. In 2008, they took their relationship to the next level and moved in together. Then came their beautiful daughter Camryn in June 2009, an addition to their lives that brought much joy.
"We knew we did things a little out of order," admits Jenna. "But to us, we were committed to each other, and marriage wasn't a big priority at the time." That is, until Hatch surprised her with a marriage proposal in October 2011.
"I have a weird superstition with even numbers," she explains. "I was born on February 4, 1986, was one of four kids, and had an even number on my basketball jersey in high school. I'm sure it's the OCD in me but everything has to be even numbered – even the number of the gas pump I pull up to. So my wedding day was no different." Not only is April 14 an even date, it's also Hatch's birthday, a factor that made the day even more special.
Having grown up in San Pedro, Hatch and Jenna couldn't imagine celebrating their day anywhere else. Their ceremony, which was at Trump's, hosted 300 guests and featured numerous meaningful moments, including Hatch walking Camryn down the aisle, something he was adamant about doing knowing he'd only get the chance to do so one other time in his life when she gets married. Then, as Jenna began her walk down the aisle – to the tune of Prince's "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World" – Hatch met her half way, coming to the altar as one. Additionally, their close friend Jason Dorio conducted the ceremony, and Jenna's grandmother Joann and uncle Mike said a prayer and shared a blessing during the ceremony.
Hatch and Jenna also wanted to include all of their closest relatives and friends within the bridal party. On Jenna's side were Maid of Honor Andria Kordic (Hatch's sister) and Bridesmaids Katie Barich, Kelsie Barich, Christina LoGrande, Heather Thomas, Leea Sarmiento, Selena DeHart, Meghan Smith, Krysalynn Brown, Cara Williams, Danielle Herrera, and Breanna Stipicevich. Junior bridesmaid was Karly Kordic, and the flower girls were Camryn Lusic and Kelsey Kordic.
On Hatch's side were Best Men Steve Kordic and Chris Lusic, and Groomsmen Matt Meadows, Rick Sysak, Bobby Fain, Danny Fain, Rob Piñel, David Hernandez, Ryan Diaz, Matt Bommarito, Aaron Reynolds, and Danny Sandoval. The ring bearer was Steven Kordic.
The newlyweds honeymooned in Las Vegas for three days, where they stayed at the New York New York Hotel and Casino and went zip lining and rode roller coasters.
Currently, Hatch and Jenna reside in San Pedro and are excited as Camryn enters pre-school this year. Jenna is a hair stylist at Andre's Hair Studio, and Hatch is still bartending at Trump's, works as a longshoreman, and sometimes DJs at places such as Crimson and San Pedro Brewing Co. on the side. There's also a possibility of Baby #2 sometime next year.

Acentech to Help Canadian Government Host Quiet Ship Design Workshops
Acentech has been awarded a contract from Transport Canada of the Canadian Government to provide high level technical, development and planning services for a series of workshops on quiet ship design. In order to advance international discussions on this matter, Transport Canada is working with Acentech and other partners to host two technical workshops, one in Halifax, Nova Scotia (November, 27-29, 2018) and one in London, England (January 29 to February 1, 2019). The workshops will be a primary vehicle for gathering expert information on reducing underwater noise through ship design.
Acentech's lead will be Michael Bahtiarian, Principal Consultant and board certified noise control engineer with more than 20 years' experience in quiet ship design. He will be a critical planning partner with Transport Canada and technical lead of the London workshop. He will also deliver a half-day program on quiet ship design on November 27, 2018 at the Halifax workshop, along with Mr. Roger Basu, formerly of American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) and Professor at the Webb Institute, who will be leading the Halifax workshop.
For more than a dozen years, scientists from around the globe have been studying something that humans normally don't sense: increasing underwater noise and its effect on marine mammals and other sea life. One of their findings is that the level of underwater sound has been roughly doubling every 10 years. Most of this sound is man-made, from an ever-expanding fleet of ships. Researchers believe that intrusive sound is harming sea life. Whales in particular are being affected by increasing undersea sounds, as they depend on hearing to find food and each other. In response, in 2014 the International Maritime Organization, part of the United Nations, issued resolutions providing guidelines for the reduction of underwater noise from commercial ships. Now, four years later, further steps need to be taken as the problem continues to increase. These workshops are part of Canada's contributions to advance international discussions on this vital issue. Acentech is proud to be a part of this important work.

Q: Should I create a new DB column or not? I don't know if it is better for me to create a new column in my Mysql database or not.
I have a table :

calculated_data
  (id, date, the_value, status)

status is a boolean.
I need an extra value named : the_filtered_value
I can get it easily like this :

SELECT IF(status IS FALSE, 0, the_value) AS the_filtered_value FROM calculated_data

The calculated_data table has millions of entries and I display the_value and the_filtered_value in charts and data tables (using php).

Is it better to create a new column the_filtered_value in the calculated_data table or just use the SELECT IF query?
In "better" I see :

*

*better in performance

*better in DB design

*easier to maintain

*...

Thanks for your help!

A: Do not add a column.  Instead, create a VIEW based on the original data table and in the view add a "virtual" calculated column called the the_filtered_value based on your expression.
In this way you will have easy access to the filtered value without having to copy the "logic" of that expression to different places in your code, while at the same time not storing any derived data.  In addition, you will be able to operate directly on the view as if it were a table in most circumstances.
 CREATE VIEW calculated_data_ex (id, date, the_value, status, the_filtered_value)
   AS SELECT id, date, the_value, status, IF(status IS FALSE, 0, the_value)
      FROM calculated_data

A: Adding the extra field adds complexity to your app but make queries easier (specially when joined on other tables).
I personally always try to keep the data as separated as possible on the database and I handle this cases on my application. Using a MVC pattern makes this task easier.

A: This works in MS SQL but I do not know if MySQL will support the syntax.
declare @deleteme table (value int, flag bit)
insert @deleteme
Values
(1,'False')
,(2,'true')

Select *, (flag*value) AS the_filtered_value from @deleteme

The INAS 333 is an Indian naval air squadron based at INS Dega, Visakhapatnam .

History
INAS 333 was commissioned at Goa on 11 December 1980 by V Adm O P Dawson. The squadron crest depicts an Eagle gripping a torpedo in its talons against a background of two crossed rotors. INAS 333 was commissioned with the Kamov Ka-25 helicopter and is a dedicated ASW helicopter squadron. The Kamov Ka-28 helicopters were inducted into the Squadron in 1989. Kamov helicopters are designed to operate from the decks of Kashin class destroyers  and the carrier. INAS 333 was shifted to INS Dega, Visakhapatnam in the year 2000 along with the Kamov Ka-25s and has been operating from there ever since. The Ka-25s which were with the squadron since its inception were decommissioned from service in April 2009. The Ka-28 helicopters were rebased at INAS 333 from INAS 339 on 19 May 2009 and form the complement of the squadron.

With a sensor package of sonar, radar, sonobuoys and a weapon load consisting of ASW torpedoes and depth charges, the Kamov ka-28 is a major threat to enemy submarines. This highly capable aircraft is flown by a single pilot and operates from the decks of the latter two Kashin Class Destroyers. The squadron is also responsible for training the aircrew for operating the Ka-28 helicopters.

Alcon Laboratories, Inc. is the world's largest medical company specializing in eye care products and medical devices. It is focusing on the research & development, production and marketing of eye care products, ophthalmic surgical device, Contact lenses and relevant care products. Alcon has been cooperating with Social Touch in its social marketing for 3 years and its SCRM case has become a new marketing model in the Internet+ era.
Due to its late entry into China and its traditional B2B2C business model, Alcon does not have an efficient communication with and access to consumers. As a result, Alcon is not well-recognized by Chinese consumers. So Alcon is in urgent need to improve its brand awareness and shift more to online sales.
To help Alcon in its SCRM solution, Social Touch starts from both online and offline member channels to establish connections with consumers in an all-round way. The SCRM is utilized in marketing, sales and service aspects. To get an insight into consumer groups, Alcon depends on big data technology to collect information on social platforms, including labels related to young consumers and their preferred lifestyles. To attract consumers' interests, Alcon uses lifestyle as a criterion to classify consumer groups and encourage them to "choose their own label" to "buy their catered products".
Build platforms to communicate with consumers directly: convert targeted consumers of physical stores into members; recruit members on various online channels; activate old members and attract new members.
žEstablish membership service mechanisms: optimize membership & credits structures; design strategies based on the data analysis of member purchase & social behaviors to improve sales conversion.
žCreate data collection tools: integrate and match data of old members; integrate both online and offline member data; monitor user behaviors and exploit data to draw a 360° user profile.
