5 hotel-based concepts worth checking out
By Heather Lalley on May 16, 2017
Hotels are doubling down on big-time restaurant offerings, hoping to entice local diners as well as convention-goers with name-brand chefs and eye-catching designs. Chefs, meanwhile, appear eager to partner with hotels to shoulder some of the financial risk of opening a new operation.
We've already told you about Wylie Dufresne's foray into luxe doughnuts at Brooklyn's William Vale Hotel. And we've already alerted you to keep Jean-Georges Vongerichten's soon-to-open spot at the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills on the radar, along with Michael Mina's Bourbon Steak that's headed to the new JW Marriott Nashville hotel.
Fast casual may be where it's at, but there are plenty of all-day, full-service developments at these hotel-housed concepts worth watching.
Explore:	concepts
1. Chica Las Vegas at The Venetian, Las Vegas
This brightly decorated Latin American restaurant, from John Kunkel's 50 Eggs team, brought in celebrity chef Lorena Garcia to head up the food. Garcia has appeared on "Top Chef Masters" and (though it's not noted in her official bio for the new operation) served as a consulting chef for Taco Bell. The menu features home-style dishes from Venezuela, Peru, Brazil, Mexico and Argentina. The cocktail menu spotlights mezcal, rum and tequila. The restaurant, which serves lunch, dinner and weekend brunch, opened last weekend.
2. Cabana Club at The Robey Hotel, Chicago
Opening a rooftop concept (complete with a wading pool for hotel guests) in notoriously chilly Chicago can be a risky bet. But it's one this just-opened cocktail-small bites restaurant is taking. The menu focuses on Latin American small plates, like an octopus tostada with celery root puree. The restaurant serves Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams, as well as tropical drinks like mezcal margaritas, palomas and caiprinhas. There's also a wood-burning fireplace for cold days.
3. China Tang Las Vegas at the MGM Grand, Las Vegas
Hong Kong-based hospitality company Lai Sun Dining, operator of several Michelin-starred restaurants, makes its U.S. debut with this new spot at the MGM Grand. China Tang replaces the former Pearl restaurant, which closed in 2014. The restaurant, which does not have an opening date, will serve provincial dishes from Sichuan, Shanghai and Beijing, according to Eater.
4. Hummingbird at the Hotel Indigo; Washington, D.C.
The Eat Good Food Group adds to its portfolio with this seafood-focused spot. The restaurant, scheduled to open at the end of May, plans to host clambakes, crab boils, fish fries and oyster roasts, Eater reports. The bar program will include "sparkling slushies" made with effervescent wines and fruit infusions. The spot features an open-air patio that will have fire pits and blankets in cooler months.
8 brand-new concepts worth tracking
5. Pacific Hideaway at the Kimpton Shorebreak Hotel; Huntington Beach, Calif.
This restaurant (previously Zimzala) in the newly renovated Shorebreak Hotel features ocean views and decor accents from Mexico, Indonesia and Japan, as well as a large mural of the artist Frida Kahlo. The menu highlights shareable options from Southern California, with Latin and Asian influences. The breakfast menu, for example, includes Rio Bowls with acai sorbet, housemade granola, blueberries and banana.

"What're ya buyin'?" asked the wretched man clad in a body-length black cloak. His craggy voice emanated from somewhere beneath the purple bandana covering his face. "Resident Evil 0, Resident Evil 1, and Resident Evil 4 on the Nintendo Switch," you answer.
Get ready to scary yourself silly all over again (and on the go)! Capcom announced on Monday on Twitter that it will bring three of the most popular entries in the Resident Evil series to the Nintendo Switch on May 21.
Because buying Skyrim on every console wasn't enough, now you can buy Resident Evil 4 on yet another device too! Following the success of Resident Evil 2 Remake, Capcom is releasing three classic Resident Evil titles as digital downloads on the Nintendo eShop on May 21. North American Switch owners will be able to purchase a retail bundle called Resident Evil Origins Collection, which bundles together RE0 and RE1. Unfortunately for European Switch owners, they will have to purchase each title separately and digitally. No pricing details have been announced at this time, so keep any and all masters of unlocking away from your piggy bank until then.
This latest deluge of fan-favorite remakes is quickly cementing the Switch's status as the go-to console for gamers looking to recapture the halcyon days of their youth while they commute to work, finish a pick-up basketball game, interrupt a rooftop barbecue, or whatever increasingly improbable scenarios were in the original Switch launch trailer. But now I'll have three new ways to induce blood-curdling terror on a red-eye flight, which is exactly what my ever-present anxiety needed.
Pre-orders for all three Resident Evil games commence on February 28.

Q: Reading Canon CR2 raw image files in .NET Are there any free-to-use libraries for .NET so that I can read Canon's raw format, CR2, into my image processing application, retaining the full color depth? I believe it is a linear 14-bit/channel integer format, however some processing is required due to the layout of the image sensor array.
I don't want it in crappy 8-bit/channel precision, I want the highest possible color depth for my internal 32-bit/channel floating point format.

A: Have you considered the Canon SDK?  It's free to download, apparently, but you have to fill out a request form and agree to the license before getting a copy. (Disclaimer: I haven't used it.)
There's a site with a set of forums for SDK users that might have some useful information.  Good luck!

A: I have successfully used Freeimage for this.

"Mattresses are a huge problem when they go into landfills, it takes up 30 -70 cubic feet of space and they don't decompose," said Spring Back Project Manager Jeremy Simler.
Inside the furniture bank, used mattresses are getting a second chance at life through the Spring Back Recycling program. One of its employees, Devin Christianson, knows about second chances.
"Me and my wife were struggling for a little while," said Christianson.
An eye disease Christianson got as a teen has made him blind in one eye, making it hard for him to find work.
"People aren't sure about it I guess and they don't want me to get hurt on the job," said Christianson.
However, his lack of sight hasn't kept him from seeing the vision beyond repurposing old mattresses, but one that breathes new purpose into people.
"One of the reasons we started spring back recycling was to create some employment opportunities and we started it to curb massive amounts of waste in landfills," said Simler.
Since the start of the partnership, the City of Tacoma have sent about 400 mattresses a month to Spring Back for recycling.
For each mattress, the city pays a portion of its drop-off fee to NW Furniture Bank. The city bid out the service, which resulted in a contract with NW Furniture Bank.
The Spring Back Program is starting to expand outside of Tacoma, with hotels in Bellevue, Seattle and Everett sending old mattresses there.
Simler said 90 percent of a mattress can be recycled into other products, like carpeting and decks.

Securing Securities: Money Laundering in Capital Markets
Crisa Cox
Commentary, 4 March 2019
Centre for Financial Crime and Security Studies, AML/CTF, UK
Britain's Financial Conduct Authority has promised action to address the UK capital markets' vulnerability to high-end money laundering. It has its work cut out for it.
In the UK national risk assessment of money laundering and terrorist financing (NRA) published in October 2017, the Home Office and HM Treasury took the view that money laundering in capital markets – namely those markets on which equity and debt is raised and traded, along with derivatives, currencies and commodities – was a significant emerging risk. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), as regulator of the UK's capital markets, tends to agree. It is a view informed by the high-profile case of Deutsche Bank, which in January 2017 was given the largest fine ever imposed in the UK for anti-money laundering (AML) control failings. In its final notice, the FCA describes how the bank allowed a Moscow-based customer to convert at least $6 billion-worth of roubles into US dollars using 'mirror trades'. These funds were then transferred into offshore accounts in countries such as Cyprus, Estonia and Latvia.
Such cases are naturally of concern to the UK. London is a global securities hub. Money laundering on this scale exposes yet another multi-billion-dollar-sized hole in the UK's AML defences, compromising the integrity and effectiveness of both the domestic and international financial systems. During 2018/19, the FCA has focused, therefore, on this issue.
It is tempting to see this as part and parcel of the UK government's desire to address the security implications of the City's complicity in grand corruption. AML measures and financial sanctions, of the kind that have restricted access by Russian state-owned institutions to the EU's capital markets, appeared side-by-side in a December 2017 FCA speech on systems and controls. In a report published in May 2018, the House of Commons Foreign Affairs Committee advocated for the exclusion of Kremlin kleptocrats from the UK's capital markets as part of a coordinated response to Russian state aggression.
However, it is a difficult problem to tackle. Reports on the subject from the International Organization of Securities Commissions and the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), among others, acknowledge the advantages of capital markets when it comes to layering and integrating the proceeds of serious fraud and corruption (in other words, obscuring their source and co-mingling them with legitimate assets). They also note that, in addition to money laundering opportunities, capital markets provide the means (via market abuse, insider dealing and securities fraud) to generate further illicit funds. Yet, despite the work done by these organisations, and anecdotal evidence of money laundering on the London Stock Exchange going as far back as the late 1990s, capital markets did not even merit a mention in the first NRA, published in 2015.
Regulators, investigators and researchers struggle to get to grips with the crime. The classic money-laundering paradigm – of cash revenues derived from illegal activities (such as drug dealing) deposited into a bank and moved around the financial system before being withdrawn and invested in luxury goods – does not apply to capital markets. Most brokers do not accept cash, and so are not involved in the introduction of illicit funds into the legal financial system. At the other end of the process, the outcome of money laundering in capital markets looks very different from, for example, a mansion in Knightsbridge. Assets as intangible as a tax-haven-domiciled exotic derivative are difficult for law enforcement to identify or confiscate.
In fact, funds that disappear into capital markets can become almost impossible to trace without the help of an industry expert. Product and service offerings within capital markets are diverse, numerous and often highly complex. They are also constantly reinvented, in response to investor demand, market conditions and technological advances. Capital markets offer criminals further anonymity with cross-border transactions carried out at speed, electronically and/or in huge volumes.
Compounding matters, according to the 2017 NRA, is that capital markets have relatively weak compliance controls and low levels of suspicious transactions reporting. One reason for this is what the FATF describes as a lack of AML awareness among capital market professionals, combined with only a limited number of 'securities-specific indicators and case studies'. Those examples that do circulate are commonly incidental to other forms of financial crime and accordingly short on detail. They may also be a money laundering typology unlikely to be encountered by the relevant firm (for example, the misuse of unregistered securities in the UK, where bearer shares are no longer legal).
The 'intelligence gap' around the scale and nature of money laundering in capital markets does not help matters. The FCA hopes to plug this gap: for example, it is no coincidence that understanding money laundering in capital markets has been added to the operational priorities of the UK's Joint Money Laundering Intelligence Taskforce. But certain features of capital markets also make it hard to impose the sort of AML procedures typically found in banks, which are mainly relevant at placement - the point at which criminals are most vulnerable to detection. For the most part, securities accounts are credited with funds from other financial institutions. As such, they tend to depend on that institution's customer due diligence.
It is also unusual for capital markets' participants to have the overview of a securities transaction necessary to spot the warning signs of layering and integration. Such transactions commonly involve several intermediaries, playing various roles, in a sector populated by a vast array of firms, products, services, investor types, trading platforms and payment methods. More generally, notwithstanding the international nature of the industry, there are no common definitions, let alone regulatory standards, relating to securities or capital markets, inevitably complicating cross-border cooperation between regulators and agencies.
Given these issues, it is hardly surprising that the FCA is keen to appear supportive of UK capital market firms, which must now worry about money laundering on top of the other financial crimes prevalent in capital markets. The FCA expects to publish the outcome of its diagnostic investigations into money laundering in capital markets in June 2019. In the meantime, it is treading softly: pointing capital markets' firms towards the updated FCA financial crime guide, recommending technology as a way to streamline their AML activity, and offering reassurances regarding the commencement of investigations into potential criminal misconduct under the new Money Laundering Regulations. Longer-term, it remains to be seen how it proposes to address the issue of money laundering in the UK's capital markets. Having acknowledged money laundering to be a sizable vulnerability, the UK can ill-afford to leave the problem unattended. At the same time, the existing demands on those authorities responsible for UK AML investigations and enforcement may leave them struggling to respond.

Back to Teachers
John Main OSB
(1926-1982) is the founding inspiration of the WCCM.
John Main OSB (1926-1982) is recognised today as one of the most influential spiritual teachers of our time especially for his recovery of a universal contemplative practice for daily life. Bede Griffiths said that "in my experience John Main is the best spiritual guide in the Church today".
He has helped many Christians of all denominations to explore 'in their own experience' the contemplative dimension of their faith. Fr John provides a re-entry point for many who have separated from their own tradition in order to find this depth of experience in other traditions. Seeing meditation at the heart of the Gospel and also as a universal wisdom, opening the common ground of humanity, he built strong bridges between all faith traditions.
Baptised Douglas Main, he was born in London on 21 January 1926. His roots were in Co Kerry, Ireland. Educated at Westminster Choir School and by the Jesuits at Stamford Hill, London, he served in the Royal Signals at the end of the war after which he joined the Canons Regular of the Lateran for a short period. After this he studied law at Trinity College Dublin and then joined the British Diplomatic Service and studied Chinese at SOAS in London.
Attached to the Governor General's office in Malaya during the Emergency, his duties took him one day to meet an Indian monk and Justice of the Peace, Swami Satyananda. From him, he learned how to meditate and took up the discipline of silence, stillness and simplicity as part of his Christian faith and daily prayer.
When he returned to the West he became Professor of International Law at Trinity College, continuing to meditate as part of his spiritual life. In 1958, he became a Benedictine monk at Ealing Abbey in London. He was asked to give up this practice of meditation, as it was not at that time deemed to be a Christian form of prayer. His late influence would challenge and correct this misapprehension.
However, while Headmaster of the school at St Anselm's Abbey in Washington DC in 1969 John Main was led to a new study of the roots of his own Christian monastic tradition. In the Conferences of John Cassian and the teachings of the Desert Fathers, he found the Christian expression of the same way of meditation he had learned in the East. Now recognising the teaching and the urgent need for meditation in the modern world he began to practice again.
In 1975, he opened the first Christian Meditation Centre at his monastery in London and began what was to be the culminating mission of his lifelong search for God and service of others. Realising that this prayer of the heart could guide the search of many modern people for deeper spiritual experience, he recommended two regular daily periods of meditation to be integrated with the usual practices of Christian life. In his teaching, he emphasised the simplicity and universality of the practice of meditation as well as explaining it as a liberating discipline.
He accepted the invitation of the Archbishop of Montreal to establish a Benedictine Priory committed intentionally to the practice and teaching of Christian meditation. This became a new form of Benedictine life integrating monastic and lay people in the same community and integrating meditation with the traditional Divine Office and Mass. From here, for the last five years of his life, John Main saw the expansion of his vision of a community of love rooted in contemplative experience. This led him to the insight that 'meditation creates community'. The World Community for Christian Meditation (WCCM) that grew from his life and teaching continues to witness to the truth of this insight for each generation.
He died at the age of 56 in Montreal and is buried at Mount Saviour Monastery, Elmira, NY. He was succeeded by Laurence Freeman.
There is no part-time or partial prayer as if the Spirit were not always alive in our heart. But there are times, our twice-daily meditation when we make a complete turn of consciousness towards this ever-present reality. There comes a level of awakening when our awareness of this reality is constant, throughout our most diverse activities and concerns.
John Main believed that each human being, in any form of life, is called to this personal transformation which then contributes to the transformation of society.

Solar Quote
A solar inverter has the important task of converting the direct current generated in the solar modules into alternating current and making it usable for the public power grid. It is, therefore, an indispensable part of the photovoltaic system: the operation of electronic devices with solar energy is only possible by means of current conversion.
Inverters have an input side (for direct current, abbreviation: DC), which has one or more DC controllers with MPP tracker that are controlled by a microprocessor. In the next stage, the actual transformation of the energy takes place in the form of alternating current (abbreviation: AC), which is subsequently passed on to the output side. From there, it is stored in the power grid. Inverters are available in various versions. Nowadays, there are models with or without a transformer. However, modern inverters often have no transformer and thus have higher efficiency. In addition, a distinction is made between three different inverters for photovoltaic plants. These are briefly described and explained below in more detail.
Solar inverters: models and versions
Inverters for photovoltaic plants must meet a number of requirements in order to profit economically in the long term. Modern models are quickly and flexibly adapted to the amount of solar energy generated, e.g. variations in cloud cover and weather changes. The solar inverter should achieve its highest efficiency both at high and low input voltages. Depending on the size and location of the photovoltaic system, the respective inverters, therefore, have different characteristics. The inverter should always be matched to the photovoltaic system in a manner appropriate to the needs of the customer.
Module inverters
This type of solar inverter is connected directly to the respective solar module. Each solar module thus has its own inverter. Module inverters are used mainly for small solar systems or for solar systems with different orientations of the solar modules.
Several solar modules are interconnected in series and form a strand (or string). A string inverter thus connects a whole series of connected photovoltaic modules to the public power grid. This form is now widely used as it offers a wide range of applications and a good price/performance ratio. String inverters are suitable for small household systems as well as for large free-standing systems.
As a rule, a central inverter is only used for large and very large photovoltaic plants. A large number of solar modules can be connected to it. Central inverters have high efficiency and are therefore particularly efficient. The disadvantage: if a fault occurs, the operation of all solar modules is affected and large losses of output occur.
Solar inverters and MPP tracking
If you are looking for a powerful solar inverter, do not miss out on the MPP tracking. MPP stands for "Maximum PowerPoint" and indicates the point at which a solar module performs its highest performance. This depends on the solar radiation, the temperature and the individual properties of the solar module. MPP tracking is, therefore, a matter of continually recording the performance of the photovoltaic module and adapting it to the respective circumstances. The MPP Tracker ensures that the maximum amount of energy is always produced. It is controlled by a microcontroller, in which a certain setpoint is pre-determined. Due to the importance of MPP tracking for photovoltaic systems, modern solar inverters often have more than one MPP tracker.
The solar inverter and its efficiency
The efficiency of the solar inverter is of central importance for a photovoltaic system. It provides information about the maximum energy conversion of the entire plant and decides decisively on its yield and the associated profitability. The level of efficiency is dependent upon many factors, e.g. the solar radiation, and the location of the PV system and the system configuration. The solar inverter, therefore, does not always provide its full power and the same device can have a different efficiency at different locations. In order to make the equipment comparable, the "European Efficiency" was introduced some years ago. This represents an average of the efficiencies at different partial capacities (5, 10, 20, 30, 50 and 100 per cent of the maximum power). The weighting of this value takes place taking into account average European temperature and weather fluctuations.
Where should the solar inverter be connected?
Several factors play a role in the choice of the correct placement of the solar inverter. In principle, it should be protected from wind and weather, which is why installation is in the interior of the home, e.g. in the basement or the garage. And even then there are further specifications: Among other things, the ambient temperature is crucial for the installation of the solar inverter. In the case of the conversion from direct current to alternating current, losses occur which are emitted in the form of heat to the environment. In warm rooms, the heat cannot be dissipated correctly through the air. The high temperatures influence the life of the device and its electrical components. Close proximity to the ceiling or other inverters can also limit heat dissipation. Fixed minimum distances should ensure safe operation of the equipment. Another factor that should be taken into account during assembly is the noise level generated during the transformation. Although modern solar inverters usually operate very quietly, there may be occasional buzzing or clicking noises at high power. For this reason, it is advisable not to install the unit in the immediate vicinity of the living rooms. Last but not least, the distance to the feed-in counter is of particular importance in the case of string inverters. In principle, the installation of an inverter should only be carried out by people with professional knowledge.

I have added a domain name to my account and want to setup the phpBB forum for the added domain name. Is there a way of changing the file locations so that way the phpBB forum is put into my added domain file instead of my account domain file? If so how do I go about doing that?
If you are on WestHost 3.0 then there is no way to do this via the Site Manager. If you are on WestHost 4.0 (a new account in the last month or so) then there should be the option for you to install in the directory you want. Not sure about the particulars for 4.0 since I am still running on 3.0 but it should be in the the documentation for 4.0.
You could just download PHPBB from their website and upload it wherever you want it with FTP. Then just install it by setting it up to point to your databases.


Therefore, companies which undertake paper recycling duties for offices need to provide secure document facilities, as well as normal recycling ones. This is because anywhere that handles potentially sensitive data on their documents need to handle them separately from general paper recycling. As such, a document destruction service needs to be offered before recycling can occur. In effect, this means that sensitive data documentation goes through an extra process. Before recycling, it needs to be shredded so that no one at the reprocessing plant can read what was on the paper. That said, once office paper has been sent for reprocessing what happens next?
When office paper has got to a reprocessing centre, it needs to be sorted. Effectively, this means making sure that paper is placed into its various grades. The lowest grades of paper have probably been recycled many times before and will go into low-end products, such as envelopes. Higher grades of paper can be turned into the pages of hardback books and writing stationery.
Whichever grade of paper is being processed, the next step is to wash it with soapy water. This is done in order to remove any ink or other marks that might be on it. In addition, glue and plastic film should be removed as part of this process. It usually floats to the top and is skimmed off. What is created at the end of the cleaning process is a wet mixture is known as a slurry.
The slurry is then turned into new sheets of paper by special machines that press and dry it out. Sometimes, the reprocessing plant concerned will apply additives such as bleaching agents in order to make the paper look whiter. The new paper is rolled up in the form of very large sheets, like giant toilet rolls. In most cases, the rolls that have been produced at the reprocessing plant are then sent to paper manufacturers to turn into different products. Recycled paper is now the norm across much of the world which helps to prevent more and more trees from being cut down to create new paper pulp.

All services listed below are a part of a long-standing educational process that The Ethical Advisor strongly believes in. It is not good enough to provide solutions to clients if the clients do not understand the importance of what information is being provided. The Ethical Advisor provides a financial education, along with recommendations, for its clients, in simple to understand language. Continuing financial education is just one way The Ethical Advisor distinguishes itself from other financial planning companies.
It is critically important to have a sound budget and a cash flow analysis completed before any other stage of financial planning can be implemented. The Ethical Advisor will help develop a budget and cash flow statement, not only so that the client has a thorough understanding of everyday costs, but more importantly, to educate client regarding necessary versus discretionary spending. Finally, The Ethical Advisor will take the time to provide feedback on how to save money utilizing coupons, special purchase discounts, and other methods of cost reduction available.
As you know, only two things are certain in life: death and taxes! Knowing a client's individual tax situation, and how this tax situation will change over time will provide a more clear understanding of what types of investments a client may need, how to budget differently, and what types of financial vehicles provide the best tax sheltering or legal avoidance of taxes. With proper planning and education, the tax burden can often be significantly decreased over time.
Historically, most financial advisors, planners, salespersons, etc typically only provide investment advising to their clients. At The Ethical Advisor, investment advising is critical to the entire process of planning for a client's future. Our advisors believe the best way to achieve one's financial investment objectives are through diversification using low cost indexed mutual funds and Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), thus minimizing investment expenses and risk. Studies have shown that over 90% of investment return is based on diversification, therefore, The Ethical Advisor uses many different asset classes from the United States and around the world to provide a well-rounded portfolio. Finally, our advisors do not take discretionary control of your money, nor do we require client custody their money at one specific brokerage company. Our advisors understand the specific needs of the client and make decisions based upon all facts available, in conjunction with the client, to make a final decision.
Health, disability, life, long-term care, and Medicare supplement are all examples of insurances that affect our everyday lives. While the advisors at The Ethical Advisor do not sell insurance, each planner holds a Texas Health and Life insurance license to be able to provide comprehensive consulting on such insurance needs and planning. In addition, The Ethical Advisor has partnered with Texas Benefits Advisers, a leading independent insurance firm in Central Texas that shares the same ethics and principals, to provide for insurance needs and expert analysis, when needed. It is important to have the right coverage in place for any unanticipated life event, and more importantly, to know that you have the appropriate type of coverage for your own unique situation.
Do you ever get frustrated, tired, or confused about all of those acronyms for retirement accounts? 401k, 403b, 457, ROTH IRA, Traditional IRA, SEP IRA, Keogh, DC plans, DB plans, etc, etc. It seems as though every day there is a new plan with a new name and a set of complicated tax laws that follow with each one. The Ethical Advisor specializes in helping educate its clients regarding the plans that each of them has or will obtain in the near future. The types of investments in each plan, what tax consequences go along with each type of plan, and when a client can withdraw or transfer a plan are all critical to the retirement planning stage.
How does one know how much is needed for retirement? This seems to be the million-dollar investment question. The Ethical Advisor will spend time determining the answer to this question by using calculations, inputs from the client, expectations of returns, and risk factors to provide a retirement target income and nest egg. After all, if you do not know where you should be in the future, how do you plan for retirement?
Everybody thinks that it is odd to think about death when you are still healthy and able to enjoy life. However, planning for your eventual passing is a step that a lot of people either never accomplish or avoid their entire lifetime. Having a will, power of attorney, medical directive, trust, and naming the correct beneficiaries on certain accounts are critical to avoiding taxation, time in a court room via probate, unnecessary hassle after the loss of a loved one, and disputes that can often be avoided with the correct documentation. The Ethical Advisor helps create a knowledge base of what documents are necessary to avoid all of the above problems and teams with qualified lawyers to draft such documents. The last complication anyone wants in life is to deal with the courts, lawyers, and the IRS after the loss of a special loved one.

Skeete announces an extra $1.3 million to local family organizations
By Martin C. Barry
Part of an $85 million sum going to 280 family groups all over the province
Nearly a dozen Laval-based community organizations that provide support and social services to families will be receiving more than $1.3 million in additional subsidies from the Quebec government over the next five years, Sainte-Rose MNA Christopher Skeete announced recently on behalf of Family Minister Mathieu Lacombe.
Organization New funding allotted (per year)
CENTRE COMMUNAUTAIRE VAL-MARTIN $132,502
MAISON DES ENFANTS LE DAUPHIN, DE LAVAL $130,000
MAISON DE LA FAMILLE DE LAVAL-OUEST $130,000
BUREAU D'AIDE ET D'ASSISTANCE FAMILIALE PLACE SAINT-MARTIN INC. $130,000
LA PARENTÈLE DE LAVAL INC. $146,010
LE RELAIS DU QUARTIER DE SAINT-VINCENT-DE-PAUL $130,000
MAISON DE LA FAMILLE DE SAINT-FRANÇOIS $130,000
MAISON DE QUARTIER DE FABREVILLE INC. $133,012

LE RELAIS FAMILIAL D'AUTEUIL $130,000
MAISON DE QUARTIER VIMONT $130,000
The sum is part of an $85 million amount being allotted to around 280 similar organizations all over Quebec during the same period. The CAQ government says it is providing the funding especially to provide better support for the developmental needs of children, who are regarded as vulnerable.
Good news for families
"The government is attentive to the needs of Quebec's families," said Skeete. "The announcement of this additional financing is done in this spirit. This is excellent for the families of Laval. I am pleased to know that the community organizations that are here for the parents of families in the region will have the means to intervene consistently, especially during these times which are more difficult than usual."
"As Ministre of Families, I consider it important that these organizations should have the means to meet the needs of families, especially during these challenging times," added Lacombe. "I would like to acknowledge the outstanding work done by the intervenors who are out in the field. You are making a difference in our children's lives, in addition to supporting the many parents."

Q: Programmatically generate DDL statement for User Defined Data Type (UDDT) I'm trying to add faking synonyms pointing to remote objects support(PR) for tSQLt.
To make it possible to mock/fake tables that have user defined system types in the table definitions, I need to generate the User Defined Data Type (UDDT) DDL statement.
I don't have too much experience with UDDTs, and what I can think of about very simple scenario if the UDDT just is as simple if it would be something like CREATE TYPE dbo.SomeType FROM INT, but I know that it can be much more complex.
So, the question is if anyone has some working solution already, ideally implemented using T-SQL via system objects. In the worst case, SQLCLR would be the only other option.

A: There are different kinds of User-Defined Types: User-Defined Table Types (UDTT), User-Defined Types (UDT; complex types implemented via SQLCLR), and User-Defined Data Types (UDDT; mainly synonyms of existing system types, but with size/precision and NULL / NOT NULL included).
You don't need to worry about UDTTs as they cannot be columns in tables.
You probably can't deal with UDTs, at least not right now, as that adds a lot of complexity since you would need to copy the assembly as well.
There is one main system catalog view: sys.types. The following should get you most, if not all, of what you need. collation_name does not appear to be usable, either by testing a simple CREATE TYPE as a test, or the documentation.
SELECT N'CREATE TYPE ' + QUOTENAME(sch.[name])

Thanks, olddog. Considering what Tellurian has said about their cost to produce an mcf and transport it to their LNG facility, we should all be keeping a close eye of them. I can see little chance of that cost being accurate on a consistent basis if Tellurian is using a reasonable hub price and not utilizing unreasonable post production deductions. If your August and September prices for Tellurian hold through the winter, the company should be paying you an mcf price greater than what they claim as their long term "all in" cost per mcf.

How to start and sustain a career in music production: interview with Bicep
Updated: 15 October 2020
Authored by Anonymous
Written by Natasha Moore - as part of Youth Music Next Gen.
'Bicep', not simply the muscle bodybuilders love to flex at the beach, but moreover, the moniker of one of electronic music's most influential and recognisable duos. The name materialised from their original blog - 'Feel My Bicep' that paid homage to their unwavering appreciation of many music genres. But whilst their blog may have given the artists their name, it was their attitudes that garnered them musical success - which in their own words was not overnight!
Describing themselves as 'nostalgic, emotive and hands-on', it's no coincidence that they're ambassadors for Youth Music. They're passionate about music and share Youth Music's belief in the life-changing power of music-making. And they play an important role in sharing their experience and knowledge of the music industry with the organisations and young people supported by Youth Music.
Electronic duo Bicep - credit Ben Price.
Bicep will be judging a new competition from Youth Music and Charanga, to discover the top three electronic dance music tracks produced on Charanga's online learning and music production platform by the young people and organisations Youth Music supports.
Learn more about the competition
I sat down with the duo - Andy and Matt - and together they shared more about their career, and their advice for young musicians starting out in producing music.
What advice would you give your younger selves if you were trying to break into the industry again?
Perseverance is really important. Success often doesn't come fast, take small continuous steps. It can be a slow burn at first.
Don't rush, just be patient. Learn an instrument and some music theory. Without it you can get it right the odd time, but if you don't know why you're getting it right then it's very hard to replicate and grow.
What are your thoughts on the Charanga/Youth Music partnership?
It's a really logical partnership, the collaboration combines talent and opportunity. It gives young people who work with Youth Music a chance to develop through the platform that Charanga is offering.
Their software presents structure and a tailored way of learning in a way which other services may not. Furthermore, Charanga offers a greater selection of 'genre-spanning' resources, providing you with material you may not find generally searching online. Which is incredibly beneficial, as you can find inspiration for your own music outside of what's familiar to you.
As the judges of the upcoming Youth Music and Charanga competition - what are the three key elements of a competition winning track to you?
Emotional connection - music needs to make us feel something.
Originality and innovation - be authentic and true to your music. If you take inspiration from others then be innovative, not a copycat.
A clear narrative in the track - what do you want to achieve with the track. Where do you place it, in a club, going for a run? If you have too many directions for your track, it can be so easy to get lost.
What advice would you give to someone who wants to forge a successful career producing music?
Start small with a few little pieces of equipment which you can pick up cheaply second hand. It was three years of DJing before we could afford to buy any synths. Slowly build things up over time.
Develop a wide range of skills by researching the industry yourself. From publishing and design, to production and performance, incrementally develop your skillset broadly. Even with management, you still need to understand what is being suggested. Empower yourself with some knowledge in every part of the music industry.
Keep music core to what you do. And learn music theory!
Any guidance on how to sustain a career in the music industry?
Longevity relies heavily on your ability to implement structure. Our studio times rarely deviate except when touring. 9am - 5pm is our norm, we really try and avoid taking work home with us in the evening.
The real crux of it all is to simply be authentic. Taking inspiration from someone is one thing, but embracing your mistakes and trusting your own ear may be what truly sets you apart and solidifies your signature style of sound. The individual you are trying to replicate will always do 'them' better so look inward and share your own voice.
If you take pride in producing music then now is the time to flex your music-making muscles with Bicep (terrible pun). Create the musical content that the industry is missing, but more importantly create the musical content that stays true to yourself!

When one starts looking at the early translators of Japanese verse into English, two names stand out: Harold G. Henderson and R.H. Blyth. Henderson first published a short volume of translations, The Bamboo Broom, in 1934. R.H. Blyth began the publishing of what would become his 4 volume set of Haiku in 1949. Both men had very different ideas about the essence of the verse they were translating and these differences have had wide-ranging effects on the current practice of writing haiku and hokku in English.
Contemporary Canadian poet, George Swede in an essay, "Haiku in English in North America" states: "With what viewpoint do most current haiku poets align themselves--Blyth's haiku as Zen medium or Henderson's haiku as pure poetry?" The question is what are some of Henderson's ideas about pure poetry and what are some of Blyth's ideas about Zen medium?
In An Introduction to Haiku published in 1958, Henderson states: "Primarily it [haiku] is a poem; and being a poem it is intended to express and to evoke emotion" (Henderson 2). Henderson continues on: "It may be noted in passing that the use of ki [season] is probably at the base of a charge that has been advanced that haiku are more concerned with nature than with human affairs. Such a statement is ridiculous. Haiku are more concerned with human emotions than with human acts, and natural phenomenon are used to reflect human emotions, but that is all" (Henderson 5). What we can deduce is that while nature is involved, the primary emphasis of haiku should be human emotions at the center of the verse and a correlating evocation of human emotion in the reader. In other words, the subjective emotion is the reason for the verse.
In a 1965 letter to the editors of the magazine American Haiku, Henderson wrote: "If there is to be a real 'American Haiku' we must--by trial and error--work out our own standards...." (van den Heuval 25). A definition of "haiku" was prepared for the Haiku Society of America in 1973 by Henderson, William J. Higginson and Anita Virgil and sent to encyclopedias and dictionaries (van den Heuval 355). Although concerned about what was being published as haiku, Henderson refused to set a list of rules but suggested that American writers look at classical Japanese models for guidance: "There is no law compelling then [poets] to follow classical Japanese standards for haiku. It does however seem unwise to abandon these standards without knowing anything about them as some American poets apparently have done" (Henderson, Haiku in English 29). But many American writers chose to ignore Henderson's suggestions using more experimental approaches.
Van den Heuval in the "Introduction" to the 1st edition of The Haiku Anthology states: "A number of those who favor the religious, or as some prefer to say, spiritual, side of this question ["...is it basically a religious, or an esthetic experience?"] relate haiku to the philosophy of Zen...this view which follows the 'teachings' of R.H. Blyth" (van den Heuval 27). Van den Heuval continues on the next page: "In Haiku in English (1965), Henderson contrasts Hackett's approach [a follower of Blyth's ideas] with that of Nicholas Virgilio and others who stress imaginative creation--that is the artistic role of the poet as a maker of imagined scenes as well as experienced ones, exemplified in Japanese haiku of Buson" (van den Heuval 29).
So what is Blyth's viewpoint of haiku as spiritual experience? In Volume 2 of Haiku, Blyth states: "When we read these verses [haiku], we realize that haiku is a way of living. It offers itself to mankind, not as a substitute for Christianity or Buddhism, but as the fulfillment. It is 'Love one another' applied to all things without exception" (Blyth, Haiku, 646).
First of all, Blyth sees haiku as direct experience. In Zen in English Literature and Oriental Classics, Blyth writes: "But poetry, by creating, through words, a new world of the imagination is in great danger of forgetting the real world" (Blyth, ZELOC, 30). Blyth is concerned that composing verse based on imagination takes the writer farther into the world of illusion and make-believe instead of rooting him or her in the real world where loving "applies to all things without exception."
He continues in this vein of thinking after listing several of Basho's verses: "But where Basho is at his greatest is where he seems most insignificant, the neck of a firefly, hailstones in the sun, the chirp of an insect, muddy melons, leeks, a dead leaf,--these are full of interest, meaning, value, that is, poetry, but not as symbols of the Infinite, not as types of Eternity but in themselves. Their meaning is just as direct, as clear, as unmistakable, as complete and perfect, as devoid of reference to other things as dipping the hand suddenly into boiling water" (Blyth, ZELOC, 49).
Consequently, Blyth suggests that subjectivity has no place in composing haiku: "The word 'subjective,' is used, then, to designate the state of mind in which a man looks at the outside world, or at himself, as he would like it to be" (Blyth, ZELOC, 72). Blyth concludes that showing an object in nature or the experience as it really is, or objectively, is the way to stay in reality and reveal the essential nature of the object or experience.
Although Henderson and Blyth were analyzing the literature they were translating, their views were and continue to be prescriptive for current work in English. The implications for structure and content of verse written from these two different viewpoints are tremendous. Clashes have occurred as sides have jockeyed for their place under the common name of haiku. As George Swede says in his essay: "My long study of the significant haiku periodicals, the major anthologies, the collections of influential haiku poets and the conferences and agendas of the various haiku societies suggests that Henderson's outlook is clearly the more popular...." But popularity should not be, and if one looks at past movements in literature, is not the death knell for a movement. Perhaps the time has come for two umbrellas (whatever their size) rather than one.

POMPANO BEACH, Fla. (WSVN) -- A South Florida bicyclist who was left in critical condition after being dragged for miles by a hit-and-run driver and then abandoned in a dumpster back in December is making his first public appearance since the accident.
On Friday, the family members of 53-year-old Craig Camlin, who was struck and dragged by a hit-and-run driver, then dumped in a field and left for dead, spoke to the media at Broward Health North in Deerfield Beach about his road to recovery. He could only whisper the word "animal" to describe the man who put him in his hospital bed.
His sister, his pastor and members of his family gathered around his bed as he addressed the media for the first time since his accident, last year. "I'm angry about it," he admitted.
"For our family, it's devastating," said his sister, Jayne Camlin, who was at his bedside.
Camlin's life was forever changed Dec. 16, 2013, at around 6:30 a.m., during what he thought would be one of his routine bike rides to work. Camlin was traveling northbound on the 5200 block, of Northeast 18th Avenue, in Fort Lauderdale when, according to police, a 2003 black Ford Mustang, driven by 27-year-old Axel Inostroza, struck him. "I'm very mad," he said with the help of his sister.
According to investigators, Inostroza struck Camlin and kept driving for two miles with Camlin stuck in the car's smashed rear window. According to police investigators, once the driver arrived at his Pompano Beach townhouse, he removed Camlin from the car's roof and dumped him in a wooded area, behind a trash bin and bushes. His sister said, "The doctor said, when he arrived here at the hospital, he was D.O.A. They brought him back to life."
Inostroza then hid his damaged black 2003 Ford Mustang and went inside his home to sleep, according to the confession he later gave investigators. He also admitted to police that he had been drinking.
A landscaping crew found Camlin clinging to life at around 9 a.m., that same day, and called authorities. He was taken to North Broward Hospital in critical condition with spinal injuries, a deep gash on his head and a nearly severed ear.
The spinal injuries left Camlin paralyzed from the waist down with loss of memory, and he can barely speak. He could only whisper a message of warning to those who may be considering getting behind the wheel after consuming alcohol: "Don't drink and drive."
Camlin was just removed from his ventilator Thursday and addressed the media for the first time Friday. His sister said, "We have nothing, his whole life has been impacted by this, totally changed. Nothing will be the same."
Camlin, who does not have insurance, has nearly a $1 million hospital bill and his family is reaching out to the public for help. "There's a wonderful organization, helphopelive.org , which is a non-profit organization that just helps patients and families," said his sister.

Government aid for Brazil's airlines shrinks, while Panama's Copa shrugs off bailout
By Rodrigo Viga Gaier, Marcelo Rochabrun
RIO DE JANEIRO/SAO PAULO (Reuters) - Stress has been mounting for Latin American airlines as carriers brace for a slow recovery from the coronavirus pandemic, but Brazil's government on Thursday reduced the loan aid available for carriers, while Panama's Copa Airlines said it did not need a bailout.

"We're not requesting nor are we expecting any aid from the government," Copa Chief Executive Pedro Heilbron told analysts on Thursday. "I think the government has bigger issues to deal with."
In Brazil, a source familiar with government discussions said that the country's BNDES state bank had shrunk by a third the loan aid available for Brazil's top three carriers to 6 billion reais ($1.03 billion).
The Brazil CEOs for carriers Gol Linhas Aereas Inteligentes GOLL4.SA, LATAM Airlines Group LTM.SN and Azul SA AZUL.N have pushed for government loans that they see as essential. They had been hoping for 3 billion reais in available aid for each company within Brazil.
The contrast in messaging between Copa and Brazil's carriers highlight the differences in their financial health. While Copa could have distributed a dividend this year, flying in Brazil almost always leads to a loss for its airlines.
But there is an extra wrinkle in Brazil, the source said. LATAM Airlines Group is in line for aid but is headquartered in Chile, which has created obstacles.
"They have many problems and complexities as they're in several jurisdictions," the source said. "It's not easy."
LATAM is the continent's largest airline and operates in many countries in South America, but complications in its Brazil negotiations could leave it without aid in its single largest market.
At the same time, LATAM is forging closer ties with Delta Air Lines Inc DAL.N with the formalization of a joint-venture agreement announced on Thursday night.
LATAM declined to comment.
Gol and Azul are Brazil-based and operate just a handful of international flights.
The 6 billion reais available in Brazil do not include a separate negotiation with planemaker Embraer SA EMBR3.SA, which is seeking up to $1.5 billion in government aid after a long-awaited deal with Boeing Co BA.N unraveled last month.
In Panama, Copa has reinforced its liquidity privately, most recently with a $350 million bond offering in late April, part of a plan to build a "fortress" of cash," Heilbron said.
It added it was planning to retire early its fleet of 14 older Boeing 737-700 NG planes, the latest carrier to do away with planes due to the coronavirus crisis.
Copa said it would focus on a leaner fleet composed mainly of its Boeing 737-800 NG planes instead.
Copa also has six Boeing 737 MAX 9 planes, but those have been grounded worldwide since last year, after two deadly crashes in Ethiopia and Indonesia.

Alabama Restores Voting Rights for Thousands with Felony Convictions
Kindred Motes Former Digital Strategy Director
In criminal justice reform, it's been a good couple of months for the South.
[Updated 11/30/17]
As noted in a New York Times article, Louisiana Governor John Bell Edwards has struck a deal to reduce Louisiana's prison population—and in Georgia, the Times calls Republican governor Nathan Deal, a former prosecutor, "a national leader in the prison reform movement."
Now, Alabama is poised to begin addressing voter disenfranchisement—beginning with restoring voting rights to people formerly convicted of certain types of felonies. Addressing voter disenfranchisement has long been a component of the criminal justice reform process that many view as a necessary step towards changing the way America views—and treats—people who were formerly incarcerated.
Since the Supreme Court's 2013 repeal of Section IV of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, reformers have worried that the special scrutiny and oversight that once protected classes of voters—many of them poor people of color—had given way to discriminatory practices that constrained the democratic process, keeping many communities locked out of it. That has been especially true for the millions of Americans who are formerly incarcerated.
In May, a bill, called the Definition of Moral Turpitude Act, passed through both houses of Alabama's legislature.
Governor Kay Ivey's office reported shortly thereafter that the Governor had signed the act into law, extending the right to vote to 'thousands' of people with felony charges.
As The Birmingham News originally reported:
By redefining "moral turpitude," the bill would effectively restore "thousands" of felons' right to vote. Rather than continuing to be loosely interpreted as referring to every felony but a list of five that includes driving under the influence and aiding and abetting, the term would refer to less than 50 specific "felonies that involve moral turpitude which disqualify a person from exercising his or her right to vote. The bill's text states that it would…ensure that no one is wrongly excluded from the electoral franchise.
The law is expected to have 'wide-reaching impacts' across Alabama, including by allowing those who are currently incarcerated to vote via absentee ballot.
Advocates are hopeful that Alabama may embrace an aspect of criminal justice reform that they have long called for:
"With a stroke of her pen, Governor Ivey could enfranchise many Alabamians that have been wrongly denied the right to vote by the state's longstanding, arbitrary process of disenfranchisement."

One of the original casino and gambling attractions were table games. When a person thinks of casinos, yes, they think of slot machines. But table games, or a form of them, were what started it all. Today, with the continued evolution of the casino floor and the demand of the technology driven player, "hands-on" table games are now turning digital.
Electronic table games are some of the most popular games on casino floors today. The games allow many features that traditional card and table games do not. These types of games increase table profitability, are self-sufficient, and can be adjusted to suit players habits in specific markets. So not only are they more functional for the player, they also better profit the casino.
KGM is the exclusive North American distributor of Alfastreet's line of electronic table games. They have created digital, automated versions of traditional table games (i.e. - Black Jack, Roulette, Craps and more).
KGM recently completed an install of the Alfastreet game, Roulette R6 at Tropicana in Atlantic City, NJ. Roulette is their specialty which they have been perfecting for two decades. Game and tournament options allow for varying Jackpot options and rewards which increase enjoyment. Alfastreet Roulette Wheels are certified for their accuracy and randomness, as well as proven for its reliability throughout the years of operation.
Alfastreet's line also includes SicBo, Craps, Black Jack, Baccarat, Dragon vs Tiger, Derby, Video Roulette, and WOF. They also offer "simultaneous play" machines that allow a multi-game experience for players to experience multiple Alfastreet games at once. A person can play up to 4 games at a time which increases enjoyment, which in turn increases revenue for the casino.

Life in the church is like life on a bus. We are in this together and are called to make room for others, defer to others, help others, even to serve others. But, in our efforts to make the church as convenient as we can, we have tried to market her more as a motorcycle instead of the bus that she really is. Keeping everyone in one service limits the options that people have. They do not get to pick the times, the style, or even the crowd. When they get on the bus, they are on it with the whole group. But, isn't that the point of the church? (1 Cor. 12:14–20) If we organize the life of our church by empowering our tendencies to think like a motorcycle, we shouldn't be surprised when our people resist life on the bus.
Years ago, we outgrew our space, so we added a second service, and then a third. The result was that I was teaching my people that their church provided options for them that they could select for what suited them on that day. Up too late on Saturday night? No problem, pick the late service. Got a lot to do on Sunday? No problem, hit the early service. It's not that I ever said that, but that is what happened. In fact, over time the people who came to the early service were so committed to the convenience of that time, that when we were able to all meet together at one time in one place, they left. I only thought they were part of the church. Initially, I wanted to blame them for thinking only of themselves and not being committed. Then it dawned on me. I had taught them that.
Today, we're all on the bus. Oh sure, it's too long for some, too short for others, too cold, too hot, but we're in it together and we all sing the same songs, at the same time, to the same Lord and to one another. We all hear the same word, hear the same prayers, hear the same testimonies, watch the same baptisms and eat at the same table—together. I think that's the point.
The next time you are driving down the road and you come across a group of motorcycles, remember that, even motorcycles don't like to travel alone too long.
