Sheffield, and not liking Blue is the Warmest Colour
tags: blue is the warmest colour, sheffield
The view from my garret
For the past few weeks I've been living in the attic of my friends, Amy and Tom's house in Sheffield. Yes, I've finally achieved the writer's dream of living in a drafty garret, though it's not that drafty I have to admit.
Years ago, I studied at the university here and so it's strange coming back. Every street name, pub, cashpoint, cafe, Supertram stop I pass invokes a memory of my former life here – that house where old friends used to live, that chip shop where they told us 'fuck off we've got nowt left' when we sought nourishment after a night frequenting that public house which still smells the same, and the like. I'm thinking of creating a comprehensive walking tour of scenes from my former life, I think Tracy Emin did something similar once? And of course, now all the students look so young. I walked past one of old haunts on West Street and for a moment was outraged that there were children drinking and smoking outside, but then I realised, no it's just me that's old. But Sheffield has a certain charm, a whimsicality that the cities in my native north west, laden with their histories, don't have, maybe because the city centre was pretty much razed in the war. I am missing that reality of London I can't afford though.
In other news, I felt uncomfortably but reassuring British when I went to see Blue is the Warmest Colour yesterday. Really, how can (mostly male) critics laud a film with such sloppy editing, notably, during the notorious sex scenes? I wondered if it was meant to be funny after the tenth comedically-loud slapping flesh sound.
I just kept thinking throughout the whole thing, 'if this was a British film'… Yes, if this was British film, the class differences would have been markedly more exaggerated, there'd have been none of that clichéd talking about John Paul Satre, the kids would have got really smashed at Adele's 18th, and, of course, the sex scenes would have been much less gratuitous as we're a bit more reserved about that kind of thing here. In my exceedingly humble opinion, these things would have made it a better film. After the stories emerged of the actresses being subjected to a gruelling ten days of shooting for those sex scenes, it felt horribly voyeuristic watching it. I know part of the cinematic experience is voyeuristic but this was rather unpleasant and it tainted the rest of the film for me. A bit like the story the kids read later on in the film, there was 'no need'. I wish Mike Leigh had directed it and it had been set in Hull or somewhere.
I can't argue with the universal acclaim the two actresses have been given though, it must have taken a hell of lot to play those roles and to play them so convincingly shows dazzling talent. But if the even more critically acclaimed 12 Years A Slave fails to live up to expectations I am never trusting another film critic ever again.

This post is part of a 4-part series by Adam Krob and Bill Stockton. See Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3.
In Alice in Wonderland, Alice has a specific end in mind. In the end, all she really wants is to go home. All of the creatures in Wonderland offer her well-meaning—if confusing—advice on how to get out. The King tells her to just keep going while the Cheshire Cat tells her that the path doesn't matter so much.
Our customers find themselves in a similar situation. We, inhabitants of our own Wonderland (a description some of you might find ironic), spend a great deal of time and resources on the process of handling a customer incident or case. We make sure that our systems handle escalated issues properly, directing them to the right expert the first time. We create submission forms on our support portal that collect exactly the information we need to handle the problem quickly. We even create support inside our products and services so we know what version a customer is running before they even submit a support ticket.
All of these efforts create an efficient support organization. But they are all about us. It doesn't matter how smooth a path we provide our customers, how beautiful the interface is. Our customers don't want to be on the path.
If we rely on our cases/incidents as our touchstone for improving our processes, we will always be looking at the path. Cases and incidents are designed to show how we got to a resolution. Knowledge articles, on the other hand, tell us what we learned from the journey with our customer. We can get to know what problems our customers are having at specific times or with specific features of our product or service.
Most important, though, is that taking a close look at the knowledge repository changes our perspective. We don't spend our time looking at the path. We spend our time looking at our customer's needs and anticipating them—delivering knowledge to them when and where they need it, rather than making them come to our path. That is why knowledge repositories are ideal for truly proactive problem management.
Knowledge repositories are ideal for truly proactive problem management.
It may sound impossible to get from where you are to leveraging your knowledge repository to deliver truly proactive support. You can get there. Start a knowledge sharing program, if you don't already have one. If you are already started down that road, rebuild some of your reporting to identify when customers need your knowledge. Change your problem management team by pointing them to knowledge articles rather than cases.
For more than two decades, Dr. Adam Krob has studied and evaluated IT and customer support structures. While his career spans numerous areas, his core focus has always been the optimal alignment of support with the company's goals and the use of knowledge management strategies, such as KCS, as a tool to achieve these goals. Adam is a pioneer in enhancing overall perceptions of service, and in the transformation of support from a reactive to a proactive enterprise. He is the cofounder of Klever , a company dedicated to bringing common sense to knowledge-sharing practices. Follow Adam on Twitter at @adamkrob .

Franklin Park is not what we had hoped. It is not signed at all. We could not find the borough building. There aren't even any roads that directly transverse the municipality. We settled for this fire company building.
The interesting thing about it is that there were no fire engines.
The one redeeming quality about Franklin Park is St. Brendan's Episcopal Church.

Magic has captivated humankind for millennia. Whether invoking spirits, reading minds, or inverting the laws of nature, the magician's hand has evoked terror, laughter, shock, and amazement. Long before science fiction, virtual realities, video games, and the Internet, magic was the ultimate world of fantasy and possibility.This book celebrates more than 500 years of the visual culture of magic. Through vintage posters, photographs, handbills, and engravings as well as paintings by the likes of Hieronymus Bosch and Caravaggio, it traces the history and representation of magic as a performing art, from medieval street performers to masters of 20th-century vaudeville.

Tag: Slovakia
From WWF Central And Eastern Europe
Old Growth Forests of Slovakia is the official name of a new nature reserve approved by the Government of the Slovak Republic. Establishment of the new reserve is a result of long lasting effort of two conservation organizations OZ Prales and WWF Slovakia. Yet unprotected or insufficiently protected old growth and natural forests in 76 localities througout Slovakia with a total area of almost 6.5 thousand hectares are going to be declared a nature reserve on December 1st, 2021.
About a year ago (September 17th, 2020), WWF Slovakia and NGO PRALES submitted a petition with more than 30,000 signatures supporting the declaration of The Old Growth Forest Reserve to the Slovak Minister of the Environment Ján Budaj. The petition was the last step in the long-lasting efforts of the organizations to protect remaining old growth forests in Slovakia. However, the effort of NGOs had begun years ago by old growth forests mapping and continued through numerous negotiations and the preparation of the conservation proposal itself.
"Under the Carpathian Convention, Slovakia made a commitment to identify its natural forests and old growth forests. We seized this task in the belief that it is a topic, which can unite foresters and conservationists. Unfortunately, this was not the case. However, the results of mapping were gradually recognized by the relevant state institutions, although we lost several hundreds of hectares of old growth forests on this route. Therefore, in addition to all those involved in mapping and ensuring the protection of forests, I would like to thank all foresters who perceived the protection of old growth forests as our commitment to future generations," says Marián Jasík, conservation expert from OZ Prales.
"When in 2017 WWF Slovakia entered into negotiations about the protection of old growth forests in Slovakia, the topic was impassable for many foresters or officials. However, as we did not retreat in our efforts, the first success came in 2019, when a new amendment to the Forest Act allowed forest owners and managers to protect old growth forests in their possession on a voluntary basis. The global loss of biodiversity we are witnessing nowadays is historically the largest and fastest ever, therefore I believe that no one doubts that the old growth forests in Slovakia deserve proper protection," says Miroslava Plassmann, director of WWF Slovakia.
Old growth forests mapping lasted from 2009 to 2015 and had proven that 10,180 hectares remained in Slovakia out of which one third is unprotected or insufficiently protected. Therefore, NGO PRALES and WWF Slovakia prepared a proposal for establishment of a nature reserve in 2018 and after several negotiations with the Forests of Slovak Republic state enterprise (LESY SR) gained a public commitment that foresters will not intervene in the localities identified as parts of the proposed nature reserve until the final decision about the proposal is made. In 2020 the 30,759 people signed petition organized by WWF Slovakia and Prales supporting the declaration of the new nature reserve Old Growth Forests of Slovakia.
The Government of the Slovak Republic approved establishment of the nature reserve on November 3rd, 2021. The Old Growth Forest of Slovakia nature reserve will become a reality on December 1st, 2021. It will include 76 state owned forest localities in various parts of Slovakia with a total area of 6,462.42 hectares.
With this decision, Slovakia contributes to the goals in the Carpathian Convention and in The EU's biodiversity strategy for 2030, according to which "all of the EU's remaining primary and old-growth forests should be strictly protected."

Sudan's ruling military council has held talks with the organisers of mass protests demanding a civilian-led transition to democracy after the overthrow of longtime ruler Omar al-Bashir.
Al-Burhan, who replaced Ibn Auf, previously served as the general inspector of the armed forces and had met the protesters in the streets after al-Bashir's removal to listen to their demands.
The commander of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, also known as Hemeti, was appointed as al-Burhan's deputy late on Saturday. A day after al-Bashir's removal, Hemeti had previously urged the military council to hold talks with protesters.
Al-Burhan, in his first televised address to the nation, said talks would include "all the people of Sudan, including political parties and civil society groups".
The military council will rule the country for up to two years until elections, he said, reiterating a position outlined by the council the previous day. However, he lifted the nighttime curfew imposed on Thursday, which was to last for a month from 10pm to 4am, and vowed to "uproot the regime" of al-Bashir and its symbols.
Hassan Zain, a protester, welcomed talks between the two groups but said he felt Burhan's speech was "no different" to that by Ibn Auf.

Q: Opening a shadowbox.js popup window using a hash What I'd like to do is put an  anchor tag on an element that will direct to a different website of mine, and I'd like to designate a hash so that a shadowbox.js popup window will open up all in one click.
The link would look something like this:

and clicking on that link would open up "mysecondwebsite.html" and open the shadowbox.js pop up on that page.
It sounds easy enough, but I'm not sure if it's possible.. any help is greatly appreciated

A: The code that runs at page load on your new page just needs to look at window.location.hash and activate any popups indicated by its value (you might have to also scroll the window back to the top before activating the popup).

Malabu Scandal: Jonathan reacts to allegations raised against him
2 months ago 2635 views by Aanu Adegun
- Goodluck Jonathan has denied taking bribes in order to broker a $1.3 billion oil deal
- The former president made the denial in response to report that the FG has filed a case against him in London
- Jonathan insisted that he was not linked, indicted or charged for collecting any monies as kickbacks or bribes from ENI by any other law enforcement body the world over
Former president Goodluck Jonathan has reacted to a media report which alleged that lawyers to the federal government had, in a London court filing, accused him of accepting bribes in order to broker a $1.3 billion oil deal.
The former president denied the allegation, while describing the report as a recycled falsehood that is "blatantly dishonest, cheap, and predictable".
This was disclosed in a statement by Ikechukwu Eze, media adviser to the former president.
According to Eze, Jonathan did not ask for or collect any bribes, neither has he been charged for asking or collecting bribes, neither will he ever be charged with asking for or collecting bribes, because such never happened. He added that the dispute predated the Jonathan administration and survives it.
"The fact remains that as recent national events continue to vindicate former president Jonathan, and as the world continues to celebrate him, those who are insecure will feed such propaganda to their media agents to feed their inferiority complex.
"In fact, we expected something like this ever since it was announced that former president Jonathan would lead the Election Observation Mission of the Electoral Institute for Sustainable Democracy in Africa to South Africa's national and provincial elections," the statement added.
Going further, the statement added that former president Jonathan was not linked, indicted or charged for collecting any monies as kickbacks or bribes from ENI by the Italian authorities or any other law enforcement body the world over.
Meanwhile, Legit.ng had reported that the federal government accused Goodluck Jonathan and Diezani Alison-Madueke, his former minister of petroleum resources, of taking bribes for the controversial OPL 245 deal.

The Keeshen Residence was designed to offer the best of Southern California indoor/outdoor living while boasting views of Los Angeles' most iconic landmark. Originally a nondescript single story residence, DEX Studio created the two-story home by adding a second floor to the original. The renovation and addition made way for views that span all the way to the Hollywood Sign, a huge bonus in Los Angeles real estate.
The design included using lots of warm woods, initially spotted under the exterior roof overhangs which feature redwood cladding running opposing ways on each floor. The extended roof lines offer protection from the sun while adding to the home's curb appeal.
A section of the lower overhang is cut out allowing the tree below to grow up through the hole with no disruption.
The front entryway has an expanded porch where the owners can sit outside and enjoy the weather.
The backyard is equally as inviting with space to relax or swim as desired. A vertical succulent wall was built into the redwood fence and doubles as a piece of art.
Large sliding glass doors open up and connect the interior to the outdoors, extending the square footage and giving the illusion of a much bigger space.
A similar wood treatment continues inside giving the interior a cozy feel.


If you are the proud parent of a little boy, then you may know how fascinated he is with cars, as well as the engines that remain beneath the hood. Little boys often squeal with joy when they hear the roar of a loud car screeching down the road, and are always intrigued when watching their mom or dad take a look at the engine inside. Something about these powerful motors captures the attention of boys everywhere.
And this year, you don't have to bring your child out to the garage to watch each time you take a look beneath the hood of your car.

Q: Pressing a key down using the function node I have set up a simple line of code, and I would like to try to press a key, for example "w", down whenever a integer between 1 and 10 is detected. I am relatively new to node-red and dont have much knowledge. i've searched around a bit but cannot find any answers to my question, any help would be greatly apreciated!

A: There looks to be 2 nodes in the library (on https://flows.nodered.org) that might be able to do what you want.

*https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-sendkeys
Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any documentation for either.
After quick look at code the first (node-red-contrib-autokey) it looks to use robotjs and if you include /key in the msg.topic it will then "press" the key found in msg.payload.key
Details of key names can be found here https://robotjs.io/docs/syntax#keys


Plexon's newsletter from November 27, 2013 introduces Plexon's newest PlexBright electrical and optical commutator and PlexBright Light Measurement Kit.
Neuroscience 2013 – the Best Yet!
Thank you for making this Neuroscience conference the best one yet! We really enjoyed meeting so many new faces and seeing so many old friends. We will be following-up with everyone, but should you need something from us faster than we are reacting now, please simply send us an email to info@plexon.com and we will get right on it.
For those of you that scored a limited edition 30th Anniversary GREEN T-shirt or coffee mug, hang on to it . . . . I'm certain that it will be valuable on eBay in a few years! Next year and forevermore, Plexon will be back to Plexon blue giveaways.
Thank you to the more than 100 entrants that participated in Plexon's first Neuroscience raffle for two FREE registrations to the very popular 2014 Annual Neurophysiology and Behavioral Workshop!
Thank you, Terry, and congratulations once again to the winners! We look forward to seeing you in Dallas next year!
It is now official – the new PlexBright™ Dual LED + 16 Channel Commutator that many had a chance to see at Neuroscience 2013 has been released! Earlier this year, Plexon launched the first commutator of its kind – the PlexBright Dual LED Commutator – specifically designed to aid in the management of optical patch cables during behavioral research.
Plexon now takes it a step further to offer the PlexBright Dual LED + 16 Channel Commutator – an advanced commutator that enables mixed cable management during simultaneous optogenetic stimulation and neural recording. Like its predecessor, this new commutator has a light-weight, low-torque, passive design that supports optogenetic experiments with animals as small as mice. However, the Dual LED + 16 Channel Commutator uniquely incorporates 21 additional lines supporting up to 16 channels of neural data transmission.
For additional information, check out the website or contact info@plexon.com.
As research utilizing optogenetics continues to grow exponentially, many labs are exploring different products with the same critical endpoint in mind – achieving the highest power output at the tissue interface for a targeted wavelength. Thus, it is paramount that output intensities are verified and confirmed.
To provide certainty regarding optogenetic stimulation at any and all points within the stimulation equipment pathway, Plexon has partnered with ThorLabs to develop a customized Light Measurement Kit designed to accurately measure the output from any PlexBright LED Module, Optical Patch Cable or Fiber Stub Implant. The kit combines a specific power meter, photodetector and custom developed photodetector adaptors to properly connect and position PlexBright components for accurate measurement.
The PlexBright Light Measurement Kit is an essential part of any PlexBright Optogenetic Stimulation System permitting the verification of expected output, as well as enabling dependable troubleshooting. Further, with the removal of the PlexBright Photodetector Adaptors, the photodetector can be used with an unlimited number of third party products. The PlexBright Light Measurement Kit is available as a complete package, or for those already utilizing the ThorLabs S140C integrating sphere photodetector, the PlexBright Photodetector Adaptors can be purchased separately.

Author Jack Gantos shows his notebook filled with story ideas to a group of Northwest Arkansas teachers during a previous visit to Fayetteville.
The University of Arkansas Clinic for Literacy will bring back Jack Gantos, an award-winning children's author, for this fall's literacy camp.
Parents can go online to enroll children in grades kindergarten through sixth. Registration is $49.99 per child.
Gantos has written books for readers of all ages, from picture books and middle-grade fiction to novels for young adults and adults. His works include Hole in My Life, a memoir that won the Michael L. Printz and Robert F. Sibert honors; Joey Pigza Swallowed the Key, a National Book Award Finalist, Joey Pigza Loses Control, a Newbery Honor book, and Dead End in Norvelt, the 2012 Newbery Medal Winner and the Scott O'Dell Award Winner for Best Historic Fiction. He spoke to participants of the literacy symposium presented by the College of Education and Health Professions in 2013.
The fall literacy camp will focus on Gantos and his works and include a visit by the author on Sept. 8. It will take place from 9 to 11 a.m. on four Saturdays — Sept. 8, Sept. 29, Oct. 13 and Nov. 3 — in Peabody Hall. Attendance is required for all dates.
The camp will help children develop their reading and writing skills, as well as enhance motivation to read and write. Participants will work with U of A teacher-education students in small group settings to learn about Gantos through an author study and then learning activities using his books.
The university students who provide intervention for the children understand the science of reading and the various difficulties children face in learning to read. The goal is to teach children strategies that align with what they are already learning in school and that can be transferred to other areas of achievement.
Linda Eilers, clinical associate professor of childhood education, and Heather Young, assistant professor who coordinates the childhood and elementary education programs, established the Clinic for Literacy in Peabody Hall in 2016.

Word of the Day : July 10, 2019
lionize
verb LYE-uh-nyze
: to treat as an object of great interest or importance
The lion is traditionally regarded as the king of beasts, and perhaps rightly so—the lion is brave, stately, and quite often ferocious. Those qualities that earn the lion respect from other creatures were probably in people's minds when, in the 18th century, lion came to be used for a person who is similarly well-regarded, especially after a long and distinguished career in a particular field. A veteran lawmaker might be considered one of the lions of the Senate; a literary lion has enjoyed a long career as a successful writer. This sense of lion forms the basis of lionize, which first appeared in English in the early 19th century.

While her name was not attached to her books in her lifetime (she published anonymously), Jane Austen continues two centuries hence to be lionized as one of the English language's greatest novelists.
"The battle for Pointe du Hoc became one of the most heroic moments of the D-Day invasion. It was lionized by the legendary Hollywood film 'The Longest Day' and by President Ronald Reagan, who stood on this hallowed ground to deliver one of his most famous speeches, extolling the bravery of the 'Boys of Pointe du Hoc' on the 40th anniversary…." — Scott Higham, The Washington Post, 3 June 2019

FIFA World download PC
Note: On July 14, 2015 Electronic Arts closed servers and the game is not further developed.
FIFA World download is another edition of the very popular and well-known among the fans virtual football series for which success the Canadian EA Sports studio is responsible. This time, however, unlike the full-fledged, annual editions, the game is based on the free-to-play business model.
The game is based on the popular module of FIFA Ultimate Team – a special sport mode in which they players are to collect cards and trade them with other players, striving to build the best team, paying attention to the statistics of individual players and their team play. Using their own teams, they take part in Online Seasons, where the goal is to try to advance to higher and higher leagues by battling other players, or the try to take on the Team of the Week composed of players controlled by the computer AI, selected by the developers based on the current form presented by their actual counterparts in the live league.
Another game mode is Real Teams where we take control of one of 600 licensed clubs from 31 class leagues from around the world and play in the Seasons Online created on the model of a similar mode known from FIFA Ultimate Team.
In technical terms, the game does not present such a quality as the annual editions of the FIFA games. Improved collision system, better physics engine, new system of taking shots or the advanced capabilities of the defense are not there. Limitations also affected the visual layer, where the differences between a full-fledged game and FIFA World download can be seen in the animation of the players or the reactions of the public located on the stadium. Thanks to this, however, hardware requirements were significantly reduced and the game works just fine even on a several years old computer or laptop.
The production utilizes a system of micropayments made with so-called FIFA Points that can be exchanged for new sets of cards or tokens entitling to play more matches on a given day. To start playing, you must have an Origin account and download the game client. During the game, you need to have constant access to the Internet.

It's Time to Settle How We Enforce Transnational Conciliation Agreements
Trevor N. May, Editor – McGill Journal of Dispute Resolution
Conciliation's potential as an alternative form of transnational dispute resolution remains unrealized. Non-uniform enforcement can leave its results uncertain, limiting its attractiveness to potential users. In light of UNCITRAL's recent efforts to enhance international conciliation's effectiveness, this post describes the challenges facing conciliation, reports on the most recent efforts of UNCITRAL's Dispute Settlement Working Group to improve it, and argues for a convention that would standardize the way settlement agreements achieved through conciliation are recognized and enforced.
Conciliation is a voluntary "process… whereby parties request a third person or persons ('the conciliator') to assist them in their attempt to reach an amicable settlement of their dispute arising out of or relating to a contractual or other legal relationship." [1] While conciliation is often distinguished from mediation, the UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Conciliation considers them synonymous. For uniformity's sake, I will refer to conciliation.
There is currently no international enforcement mechanism for settlement agreements achieved through transnational conciliation. As it stands, if one party refuses to uphold a settlement, its counterpart typically has to sue in a domestic court to enforce the agreement. [2] Beyond the jurisdictional limitations this recourse imposes on parties seeking enforcement, resorting to litigation to uphold a conciliation settlement "undermines the benefits" of pursuing conciliation in the first place. [3]
To remedy this state of affairs, the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) has tasked its Dispute Settlement Working Group with developing an instrument that would standardize enforcement of international conciliation agreements. Among other options, the Working Group is considering a potential convention whereby member states would agree to enforce the outcomes of international conciliation. Noting the success that the Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards (New York Convention) has achieved for international arbitration, supporters of a conciliation convention are eager for UNCITRAL to develop an equivalent measure for international conciliation.
The Working Group, however, has yet to agree on the form "the instrument" will take. In fact, it has intentionally avoided committing to any form. At its most recent session, held September 12-23 in Vienna, "it was generally felt that it would be premature for the Working Group to make a decision on the final form of the instrument". [4]
This hesitancy is concerning. While exploring multiple options is prudent, after three multiday sessions over a greater than year-long period, it is difficult to consider failing to agree on the basic nature of the instrument progress. To its credit, however, the Working Group did achieve consensus on several aspects of the instrument, whatever its eventual form.
Importantly, it was decided that the instrument should apply to the "enforcement of international commercial settlement agreements resulting from conciliation." [5] Whether this scope will extend to the "recognition" of settlement agreements, however, has not been finalized as this recognition could confer a res judicata effect on agreements in certain jurisdictions, precluding further negotiation. [6] Methods of addressing this concern were debated but left to be resolved in later sessions.
The scope was further refined such that "[s]ettlement agreements reached during judicial or arbitral proceedings but not recorded in a judicial decision or an arbitral award should fall within the scope of the instrument." [7] While excluding judicial decisions and arbitral awards will limit the number of parties served by the instrument, the working group considered it best to avoid "overlap" with other conventions and minimize confusion among enforcement authorities over which instrument applies, although the final wording of this provision remains to be determined. [8]
Key terms that were finalized include "international" and "settlement agreement." For the purposes of the instrument, "[a] settlement agreement is international if… [a]t least two parties to a settlement agreement have, at the time of the conclusion of that agreement, their places of business in different States." [9] What constitutes "places of business" was intentionally undefined and left to the competent enforcing authority to decide on a case by case basis. [10] The Working Group further agreed that the term "settlement agreement" should refer to "an agreement in writing, that is concluded by parties to a commercial dispute, that results from international conciliation, and that resolves all or part of the dispute." [11]
While these determinations are worth noting, the repeated references to "the instrument" above and in the report of the Working Group itself belie the results of the session. The value of a scope and certain definitions for an "instrument" whose essential form is undecided is debatable. Moreover, much of what remains to be decided is indeterminate because the form of the instrument is still unknown. For instance, the meaning of "commercial," especially important given that the instrument is intended to address commercial agreements, has been left undefined until the form of the agreement is determined. [12]
The leading contender against a convention is model legislation that could be adopted by states. Since enforcing settlement agreements is novel, some have argued that "a uniform regime… might not be desirable or feasible" considering the divergence in current practice. [13] Alternatively, model legislative provisions would "highlight the usefulness of conciliation in international trade and could effectively lead to harmonization." [14]
A proposal for model legislation that provides for a flexible approach to enforcement is somewhat bizarre given that UNCITRAL's Model Law on International Commercial Conciliation already holds that settlement agreements are "binding and enforceable" while leaving the enforcement method up to states. [15] While new model legislation would delineate a method of enforcement, if states are free to adapt it at will, the standardization that the instrument is intended to achieve may be compromised.
Ultimately, the cross border nature of international conciliation agreements evidences a need for a "binding instrument" that makes enforcement certain. [16] As participants in the Working Group have noted, conciliation is under-used in commercial disputes because it lacks a convention. [17] Conventions allow states to gradually adopt just as model laws would, but the advantage is that the end result is cohesive and certain. This process is evident in how states have slowly entered institutions like the International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) and the World Trade Organization (WTO), much to the benefit of investment and trade law, respectively. As the NY Convention paved the way for cross-border enforcement of arbitral awards, [18] a new convention would promote conciliation in international business and inspire international actors' trust in its results.
It is time to move the debate along so drafting a convention can begin. The Working Group's concerns of prematurity are suspect given that it is deliberating on draft provisions and definitions, but has not decided what it is drafting. As the Working Group itself has noted, "without a decision on the [instrument's] form, it would be difficult to resolve some of the outstanding issues" being deliberated. [19] Rather than debating what to debate, the Working Group should devote its efforts to designing a conciliation convention that will fill a long-neglected gap in international private law.

3.2.4 Keywords
Three to seven keywords must be so chosen that they best describe the contents of the paper. They must be placed immediately below both English and Korean abstracts respectively.
Introduction should be stated in short and clear enough to describe the subject, scope and method of research not to mention the background that anyone can figure out them without referring to the other papers.
3.2.6 Main Body
Main body should describe the details of basic assumption, basic theory, new theory and method, if it is a research based on an experiment, the method and contents of that experiment. In addition, a justification of the paper at issue must be proven compared to the other papers.
1) Headings of Chapter, Section, Paragraph and Clause Headings of chapter, section, paragraph and clause must be marked as below example. As a rule, when the heading of them is in English, the way marking the title must be followed. Otherwise, except in cases of necessity, those headings should be translated into Korean if possible, and it is recommended that the English text to be added within the paragraph text.
2) Formulas and Symbols
Various formulas, signs and symbols used in the text should be the ones generally used and, if it is necessary, the list of them must be provided. A fractional number should be marked as '3/4' if possible and a comma should be used to mark every three digits in a long number, beginning at the right. Formulas should be stated in a unified simple form if possible by curtailing the parts of expansion or inducement so that those parts may be supplemented in the text sentences. A formula must not be included in the line of sentences and thus it must be placed in a separate line. A symbol or a variable must be defined in a sentence at the place where it is initially described. The same font for a symbol or a variable must be used when it appears in both formula and sentence. The same symbol or variable must not be used for indicating more than one meaning. The formulas are to be consecutively numbered through the entire text and the number must be placed at the end of right side of formulas. However, when the formulas at issue are so similar that the serial numbers are not necessary, the same number can be used but an English alphabet must be added to the same numbers in order to differentiate those formulas.
3) Unit
All units should comply with SI units. Otherwise, SI units must be parenthesized.
4) Table, Drawing and Picture
(1) In cases where a drawing or a picture is used, a letter-quality original, which is not copied, should be used if possible and the author should make such drawing or picture considering the print size. Even when its size is so large that a size reduction is required, the drawing or the picture should not be too small to be vague. In this case, a paper publication may be rejected due to the lack of definition and clarity of drawings or pictures if it may cause the qualification of the paper at issue. When a color drawing or picture is necessary, the author must pay additional cost of one hundred thousand won (150,000 KRW) per one page.
(2) Drawings, pictures and tables must be consecutively
numbered through the entire paper. While the title and description of drawings and pictures must be placed in the center of the bottom, those of tables must be placed in the center of the top. In this case, those title and description must be written in English and only the first letter must be capitalized. Also, a footnote for the symbol or the code referred in a table, if necessary, should be placed immediately below that table.
(3) In cases where drawings and tables are interrelated, the marks including (a), (b) or (c) can be used and an explanation or a description can be added.
In citing a reference book or an article, the name of author and the publication year must be given. With respect to the author's name, a family name must be used if it is a Korean reference book or article, while only last name may be written for an English one. In cases where the number of authors of a reference book are more than one, only the name of corresponding author such as 'Hong et al., 2012' or 'Wood et al., 2012' must be given for a Korean paper. Spacing of word or using punctuation marks must comply with the following example.
3.2.7 Conclusion
Conclusion should state and provide the most valuable and important result of research. It must also describe the value, contributions and application of research.
3.2.8 Acknowledgement

4. Review Process
4.1 Reviewers may be nominated to the chairman by the Editorial Committee member and then the chairman may ask them to review the papers submitted. For the papers in express review session, the author may recommend up to 5 reviewers who are able to participate in the review process in fair and reasonable manner. These reviewers must be recommended to the Editorial Committee upon the submission of the paper.
4.2 Paper submitted must be reviewed by three reviewers. The reviewer must be a regular member of COSEIK having a Ph.D. degree in relevant field of study or being equivalently qualified. However, if necessary, when the nature of paper is considered, an outside specialist may be invited for the review.
4.3 The Editorial Committee shall decide the paper as 'acceptance', 'rejection' or 're-review' for the papers reviewed in the regular review session. For the papers reviewed in the express review session, only the decision of 'acceptance' or 'rejection' may apply. Papers accepted for the publication shall be noted as either 'acceptance with no-revision', or 'acceptance with revision'.
4.4 In cases where more than two reviewers make a decision of acceptance of a paper submitted, the paper may be published in the Journal.
4.5 The paper subject to the publication after revision must be re-reviewed by the same reviewers who initially reviewed the paper. However, in this case, the reviewers cannot make a decision of 're-review after revision' again and thus they must make a decision of either 'acceptance' or 'reject'. The re-review period must be within two weeks from the date of the request.
4.6 For the regular review session, the first review shall be completed within three weeks from the date of receiving a paper. For the express session, the paper shall be reviewed within 10 days upon the date of the receipt. Otherwise, a request for the review's completion can be made and, in this case, as a rule, the review period may be extended up to two weeks from the date of the request in case of the regular review session.
4.7 In cases where more than two reviewers make a decision of reject of a paper submitted, the Editorial Committee has to deliver a final decision that the paper will not be able to be published in the Journal.
4.8 In cases where a corresponding author does not respond to the Editorial Committee's decision of re-review after prior revision for more than one month from the notification of such decision, the Committee may request (one time only) the author to make a revision. In this case, if no response to such request is received within one month from the date of request, the Editorial Committee may make a decision of rejection of the paper for publication.
4.9 No author may be able to raise an objection to the decision of the Editorial Committee.

Site Description: MERCEDES-BENZ SLK Used Car History reviews and guide on classic and older model cars. Including car designers from Italy and Germany. Learn history of cars from classic, exotic, used, new to prototype model cars.
In the parlance of Mercedes-Benz, "K" signals "Konipaki", and indeed the SLK was a smaller breed of bargain-priced Mercedes SL sports car, and the first junior Mercedes sports car since the 190SL of the late 1950s. It was a perfect foil lo the new Porsche Boxster and BMW Z3 roadster, selling to a new kind of customer for Mercedes: a telling statistic is that over halt of those who ordered an SLK had never had a Mercedes before.
To cut costs, the engine and driveline components were shared with the C Class saloons (sedans), the brakes came from the E Class, and seats were bought in from Recaro. The headlights were unique but molded in plastic. Expensive magnesium structural components were used, but they saved space and enhanced safety.
The car's party trick was an exotic electric roof. In 25 seconds, the SLK's solid Vario roof arched into the air; folded itself in two and carefully stowed itself away in the boot (trunk) before a metal cover snapped shut. The sequence even wound the windows down for you. It worked just as well in reverse, transforming the SLK back into a draught-free coupe, and you didn't even have to clip the roof on to the windscreen edge. Mercedes promised that the electric motors and hydraulic rams were good for at least 20,000 repeat performances.
Inside, the car's cabin was highly styled with embracing bucket seats, and carbonfibre-look cladding on the dashboard and white back-lit dials sunk into chrome-edged portholes.
This was a rear-drive car but, with anti-lock brakes and traction control, only the reckless could provoke the back of the SLK out of line. Its ride and road holding balance were superbly fluid, and, as with all Mercedes automatics, you could flick the shift down for a faster getaway or change-down for a corner. With the 193bhp supercharged four-cylinder engine, the car's top speed was more than 140mph (225kph), with 0-60mph (0-96kph) in 7 seconds, while there was a cheaper non-supercharged model, too.
The SLK proved amazingly popular, with orders backed up until the end of the century: it seemed that Mercedes' biggest problem with the SLK was building enough of them.


Why do we limit God?
If He puts an opportunity before me, rather than fearing I will fail God, I need to have faith in His mighty abilities. If God desires to use me…you, in a situation, then He will equip me. Oh dear Sister, how often I fail to put my faith in His abilities. It is then that I place limits on how much God had do.
Here is a short video study of Hebrews 13:2, James 1:2-6, and Isaiah 41:10. Join me as we work to say goodbye to placing limits on God!
Why do I place limits on God?
Thank you Tonya for this message. I just wanted you to know that I was in James 1 yesterday. I just came out of my own morning quiet time with the Lord and you were right there with me today with your inspirational video. I have had to remind myself to leave everything at the feet of Jesus, sometime I need a gentle reminder (thump on head) from the Lord that I don't have to go it alone. Thank you again because you were the Lord's thump on the head (gently) to me. My prayers are with you.
From one sister in Christ to another sister in Christ.
I often need the "holy 2×4" to my head Judi! So glad to know that God uses me to reach women for His purposes. Glory to our God!!

Q: How to delete and Recover drive space I have looked and don't know where to find how to do this.
First, I think I found why I can't dual boot, With that said I don't want to have to reinstall my Work Win98 system I just want to delete the 2 non working Ubuntu installs. The first one, It looked like everything went well. But no dual boot. SO I removed all my other drives, Tried again. This creating a new install with the Idea that I would just mount and recover the other unused install. However both have failed and I would like to remove the 2 Partitions and 2 swap, delete them and recover the Drive space back to 98.
Anyone have any Ideas? Thank you. I know what I would need to do if I was going to install the 98 fresh. However It is installed all Patches and working well. I would hate to loose all that just to recover this space.
James

A: lol @
I think I just time traveled back to my childhood.

gparted?
http://gparted.org/livecd.php
Create a bootable cd and use it to select and delete the partitions in question - just dont delete the win 98 partition. once deleted you would have to format the unpartitioned space - u can still use gparted or reboot and use your win 98 to format the unpartitioned space
