The North Carolina Workers' Compensation Act requires nearly all employers to provide workers' comp benefits. These benefits pay for medical care and replace partial wages when a worker is injured on the job. If you were recently hurt in a workplace accident, you may be eligible to receive workman's comp benefits, even if the accident was partially your fault. Read on to hear the Charlotte workers' compensation attorneys of Dewey, Ramsay & Hunt, P.A. explain who is eligible for workers' comp in North Carolina, and how to improve your chances of qualifying for benefits.
Who Qualifies for Workers' Comp in North Carolina?
The short answer to this question is that virtually any employee is eligible for workers' compensation if he or she is injured at work. Of course, as with any legal question, there's always more information to unpack.
Injuries that occur in the workplace – for example, if you are injured in a construction site fall accident.
Next, it's important to understand what types of businesses – and in turn, what types of employees – are covered by workers' compensation laws. Generally speaking, the North Carolina Workers' Compensation Act makes it mandatory for all employers with at least three employees that operate within the state to provide workers' compensation insurance coverage. This doesn't apply only to major corporations, but also to small businesses, family-owned businesses, and even trucking owners or operators who are classified as independent contractors.
Workplace injuries that occur in certain industries, such as the rail transport industry or U.S. Post Office, are covered by federal laws instead of the state-run workers' comp program. However, while such exceptions occasionally arise, most workers are entitled to file claims with the state, whose workers' comp program is administered by the North Carolina Industrial Commission (NCIC).
If your employer claims that he or she is not required to provide workers' comp, there's a chance that he or she is breaking state laws. If your employer tells you that you do not have the right to file a claim – or that there will be retaliation if you do – you should immediately notify an experienced attorney, ideally one who is also a Board Certified Workers' Compensation Specialist. Working with an attorney improves your odds of success when seeking benefits, because in addition to ensuring that your paperwork is filed properly, your lawyer will also make sure that there are no errors slowing down your claim, that your employer is complying with the law, and that you are equipped with the necessary evidence and medical records to support your claim.
Injuries that occur while the employee is "under the influence of any controlled substance," such as marijuana, cocaine, Adderall, Ambien, methamphetamine, Xanax, or OxyContin.
For a full overview of state workers' comp laws, you might be interested in reading our guide to workers' compensation in North Carolina, which discusses issues like workman's comp eligibility, types of injuries that are covered, and how much compensation is available.
While guides can be a helpful starting point, we would also encourage you to contact Dewey, Ramsay & Hunt, P.A. for a free legal consultation. We have more than 20 years of experience handling all stages of the workers' compensation claims process in North Carolina, including claim denials and returning to work after an injury. We are here to protect your legal rights as we guide you through the system.
To talk about your claim confidentially, contact Dewey, Ramsay & Hunt, P.A. online, or call (704) 376-1616 for a free consultation with our Charlotte work injury lawyers. You'll never be charged any legal fees unless we recover compensation for your injury.

A Common Word Between Us and You and Mona Charen
God Bless Mona Charen.
For years she's been a beacon of intelligence and honesty in an often confused world.
Her recent comments on the publicity surrounding the issuance of "A Common Word Between Us and You" by 138 Muslim intellectuals once again shows why she is so worth reading.
The letter, addressed to Pope Benedict and dozens of other Christian leaders, was released by the Royal Jordanian Institute of Islamic Thought on October 11, 2007, had some encouraging things to say.
"Muslims and Christians together make up well over half of the world's population. Without peace and justice between these two religious communities, there can be no meaningful peace in the world. The future of the world depends on peace between Muslims and Christians."
" The central creed of Islam consists of the two testimonies of faith or Shahadahsi, which state that: There is no god but God, Muhammad is the messenger of God. These Two Testimonies are the sine qua non of Islam. He or she who testifies to them is a Muslim; he or she who denies them is not a Muslim. Moreover, the Prophet Muhammad said: The best remembrance is: 'There is no god but God'….ii "
Wonderful sentiments with which Christians, Muslims, and Jews can all agree.
But in an article in the Jewish World Review on October 18, 2007, Ms. Charen points out that one such letter does not a peaceful world make.
''You can read through this entire letter and never learn that there are Muslims all over the world currently interpreting their faith as a license to slaughter innocent human beings (very much including fellow Muslims). Moreover, the overall thrust of the document suggests that misunderstanding between Muslims and Christians (rather than problematic interpretations of Islam) is what threatens world peace.''
''If the Muslim clerics are sincere in wishing for peace and understanding, they should issue a document that:''
''(1) Denounces Islamists''
''(2) Rejects Islamists' violent interpretation of jihad''
''(3) Affirms the human dignity of non-Muslims''
''(4) Condemns Osama bin Laden, Aymin al-Zawahiri and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad by name.''
''That would be historic. This letter is worse than a bromide, it's a dodge.''
Mark Tooley, in an article in FrontPage Magazine voices similar sentiments.
Both Charen and Tooley point out the limitations of this kind of interfaith dialogue, a theme that is echoed in my new book, Abrahamic Small Groups, co-authored with Dr. Rashid Ahmad.
In our book, we discuss the importance of supplementing interfaith dialogue at the academic and theological leader level with interfaith engagement at the individual and family level.
Dialogue is often just meaningless exchanges of platitudes. Engagement, on the other hand, is a bit more like "tough love."
Interfaith engagement allows me to ask my Muslim friends tough questions like this:
If Islam is a religion of peace, why don't you condemen the terrorist actions of Bin Laden ?
And my Muslim and Jewish friends should feel free to ask me equally direct questions.

Leading American Scholar of Islam to Review Pre-Publication Copy of Abrahamic Small Groups
A leading American scholar of Islam has agreed to review a pre-publication copy of the new book Abrahamic Small Groups, which Dr. Rashid Ahmad and I are in the process of completing. Look for Harpeth River Press to publish the book in March of 2008.

More Speculation on Trent Lott's Resignation
Slate Magazine is running an ugly story today which carries their speculations on the real reasons for Senator Trent Lott's resignation.
It's not a pretty picture.
Suffice it to say, last week's FBI raid on the offices of Lott's Mississippi lawyer brother-in-law "Dickie" Scruggs, and today's indictment of Mr. Scruggs and his son, Lott's nephew, figure prominently in the story.
Posted by Michael Patrick Leahy at 3:02 PM No comments:
Author Stephen King Actually Said This !
Author Stephen King actually made the following statement in the November 23, 2007 online edition of Time Magazine:
So I said something to the Nightline guy about waterboarding, and if the Bush administration didn't think it was torture, they ought to do some personal investigation. Someone in the Bush family should actually be waterboarded so they could report on it to George. I said, I didn't think he would do it, but I suggested Jenna be waterboarded and then she could talk about whether or not she thought it was torture.
Come on now, Mr. King. Shouldn't you stick to fictional terror, and not try your hand at the real thing ?
Trent Lott Shows His True Colors
Little more than a year after persuading his fellow Republican Senators that he was better qualified than Tennessee's Lamar Alexander to serve as Minority Whip in the Senate for the long haul, Mississippi's Trent Lott has unexpectedly announced his retirement from the Senate, effective at the end of the year.
Re-elected to a full term only last year, Lott leaves his fellow Republicans in the lurch, for the apparent purpose of pursuing "other interests". It might have been more honest of the Senator to have revealed his intentions at the time he was politicking to become the Senate Minority Whip. Certainly, had they known he would leave his leadership post in less than a year, his supporters would not have voted for him them.
Lott's decision leaves his fellow Republicans scrambling to field a candidate for a special election to fill out the balance of his term (which ends in 2012), either in the next 90 days or in November of 2008 (depending on which expert you listen to) putting this 'safe' Republican seat up for grabs at worst, and diverting limited party resources at best.
One can only speculate as to Senator Lott's motives, but the most likely explanation is his desire to cash in on the K Street lobbying gravy train. Lott apparently wants to "get his while the getting is good."
Apparently, Profiles in Greed is a better description of the conduct of certain seasoned Senators these days than Profiles in Courage.
We need you Ben Stein !
My co-author Rashid Ahmad and I have been discussing the need for a Jewish co-author. How, we wonder, can we write about the Abrahamic religions in our new book Abrahamic Small Groups, if we only have the Christian and Muslim point of view ?
We've sent the actor, writer, and professor Ben Stein and his literary agent an e-mail and invited him to be our co-author.
I spoke on the phone with his literary agent, who was polite but not encouraging.
If Ben declines our offer, do any blog readers have suggestions for us ?
A reader asks about Abrahamic Small Groups
A reader of Christian Faith and Reason recently asked several questions about an article I wrote for that magazine on Abrahamic Small Groups.
Readers of this blog may find his questions and my responses of interest.
1. Tell me more about the overall goal of Abrahamic Small Groups.
The goal is simply to promote understanding and peace between Christians, Muslims, and Jews in America at the family and individual level.
2. Tell me more about your mission and the organization behind it.
There is no organization behind it at present. A non-profit corporation, The Global Great Awakening, may be organized and incorporated to promote the development of Abrahamic Small Groups first throughout the United States, and then around the world. But for now, it's my family, a couple of other Christian families, a couple of Muslim families, and a Jewish family in Nashville.
There is also a Facebook Group you can join called Abrahamic Small Groups which has 26 members around the world as of this writing.
3. Tell me about some of the feed back you are getting from the groups currently meeting.
Only the Nashville group has met so far. And the feedback has been fabulous. All the families participating are enthusiastic and energetic about the next meeting. Every family had some great curriculum ideas for future meetings.
4. What are some of the issues that have come up due to differences in faith practice. Has there been unwanted proselytizing by any of the faiths involved?
Since The Nashville Agreement (the original organizing document of the Abrahamic Small Group movement) specifically prohibits proselytizing, it has not been an issue at all. Besides, there's so much to learn about the other religions, there's really no time for proselytizing.
5. What local support do these groups have? Are they endorsed by churches, mosques or synagogues? Or has the opposite been found to be the case?
We haven't sought any endorsement from churches, mosques, or synagogues, other than occasionally asking for an opportunity to speak about the existence of Abrahamic Small Groups. We have specifically avoided involving rabbis, imams, priests, and ministers in the organization of these groups, though we welcome their participation in group meetings.
An important point here is to emphasize that Abrahamic Small Groups are about interfaith ENGAGEMENT and not interfaith DIALOGUE. Dialogue per se tends to be overly intellectual, impersonal, and leads nowhere. ENGAGEMENT, on the other hand, is designed to touch the hearts of participants.
6. Anything else that you can think to tell me regarding these groups which you think I would find interesting.
Come to the January 13, 2008 Abrahamic Small Group meeting in Nashville from 3 pm to 5 pm. Send me a private message and I will tell you when and where !
Book on Abrahamic Small Groups pushes Civil War Novel back
Literary agents often advise writers that the best way to become a published novelistis to first finish the novel !
They are right of course, and I imagine that if I had an agent, he or she might suggest that I should finish writing Fort Desperate, my novel of the Battle of Port Hudson, before I take on another literary project.
And yet, I am not going to follow that advice.
I am being drawn forward by a compelling concept and an enthusiastic co-author into a follow up to my first book, Letter to an Atheist.
Dr. Rashid Ahmad and I are co-authoring Abrahamic Small Groups which will be published by Harpeth River Press in March of 2008.
Subtitled "Ten hours a year in the cause of world peace, that's all we ask !" (with a nod of the hat to talk show host Sean Hannity for inspiration on the phrasing), the book describes the process by which Christian, Jewish, and Muslim families in America can experience true inter-faith engagement. The idea is not to all sit around the campfire holding hands and sing "Kumbayah". Instead, the idea is to gain a true understanding of that which we have in common theologically and familially, as well as that on which we differ.
With 7 million Muslims, 3 million Jews, and 200 million Christians in America, it makes sense that we should try to learn more about getting along with each other, doesn't it ?
Letter to an Atheist finds more on line distribution
Letter to an Atheist apparently continues to find more on line distribution.
You can buy it online at Cokesbury Books, the retail arm of United Methodist Publishers.
And finally, it's landed on the Barnes and Noble online site. It's reached the high rank of 367,000 there !
Not sure how my book made it to Barnes and Noble, while RC Metcalf and Joel McDurmon's equally good responses to Sam Harris did not.
Abrahamic Small Group Meeting
We held the first Abrahamic Small Group meeting in our house last night.
The idea behind an Abrahamic Small Group is to duplicate the Evangelical Christian small group experience in a mixed group of Christian, Muslim, and Jewish families. This is not about inter-faith dialogue, but instead is about inter-faith engagement. We're not all sitting around a campfire holding hands and singing "Kum bay ah". Instead, we're getting to know each other on a personal basis, and we're learning those areas of faith in which we agree, and those areas in which we disagree.
We kicked off the grand experiment with a bit of trepidation all around. After all, Evangelical Christian small groups have high failure rates, and it's hard to tell how these things will evolve.
In what could have been an ominous foreshadowing of the evening, Middle Tennessee was hit with a severe thunderstorm last night. We prepared snacks for the invited families, but weren't sure if anyone would make the trek out to our neck of the far suburbs for the adventure.
The cell phone rang, however, about 15 minutes before the start time, and it was Rashid and his family en route.
Arriving just as the storm let up, Rashid, his wife Fatima, their children Ayesha and Ali joined our family and Marlin's family just as the storm let up. Setting a graciou tone, Rashid and Fatima brought a fabulous gift for my wife, a special perfume they had purchased when they had visited the holy city of Medina, Saudi Arabia.
We were fascinated to learn that Rashid, a medical doctor, and his wife Fatima, were both born in the same city in India, and had come together under a "quasi-arranged" marriage. Rashid came to the US as a young boy. Fatima came after their marriage.
Another good sign for the evening was that the children, who had never met before, connected easily.
Rashid, a fellow Ivy Leaguer, brought an enthusiasm and intellectual curiosity to the evening that matched my own. Both he and Fatima seemed to quickly "get" the structure of what a small group setting tries to accomplish, and the conversation flowed easily.
The evening had been in the works for over a year, since I had begun writing my book, Letter to an Atheist. My chapter on Islam there suggested that Sam Harris' dismissal of Islam as fundamentally and completely opposed yo intellectual and social compatibility with the West was simplistic and close minded. This evening, my criticism of Harris was put to the test, and based on how the evening went, I must say that my initial impression has been confirmed.

Sue Rickards
I really rely on my intuition. That's something you get just by absorbing the environment and the dynamics. You pay attention all of the time with all of your senses.
It was a warm June day when Liz Burge was welcomed warmly into Sue's home—even by the family dog. The sitting room was filled with books and memorabilia reflecting Sue's life as a social activist over several decades. The conversation was balanced between her astute analysis of social change and community development and personal reflections on how she had developed as an activist herself.
Early influences
Sue Rickards grew up in Ohio on the Kentucky border, where she witnessed firsthand the social and economic segregation of African Americans in the American South. After she completed secondary schooling in New Jersey, Sue attended university in Vermont and traveled to Spain and Chile to absorb the cultures of the families she lived with. Her first challenging job was to teach Junior High school in North Carolina in 1964—the year that public schools were ordered to desegregate by landmark legislation. After this, Sue worked at home for several years raising two children before the family moved to St. Lambert, Quebec, in 1966.
Sue and her family moved to New Brunswick in 1986 where she worked on three provincial task forces and wrote government speeches until she was assigned by the New Brunswick Housing Corporation to the challenging Elm Hill project. It was this work that triggered the social justice/community enterprise activities for which she became known over three decades in New Brunswick.
Invested with the Order of New Brunswick in October 2010 for distinguished services to community development, Sue has also taught sustainable community development for the University of New Brunswick (UNB) Adult Education program, St. Thomas University's Social Work program, and Renaissance College, UNB.
Sue holds a degree in Political Science from Middlebury College, Vermont (1959), and a Certificate in Adult Education from St. Francis Xavier University (1994).

Q: Bookmarking URL in the JSF 1.x version I came to know that from JSF 2.0 the URL can be changed in the address bar. It is more helpful to bookmark the URL. Is there any way to do in the JSF 1.x versions.

A: No. But there are some common practices to achieve better bookmarkable URL's in JSF 1.x:

*

*Do not navigate to another page after submit, always return to the same page and display any error/success messages by h:message(s).

*If you really need to go to a different page after submit, prefer to do it by a redirect. It will cause the browser to fire a brand new GET request on the given URL.

*Do not use h:commandLink/h:commandButton (which fire POST) for plain page-to-page navigation. Use h:outputLink or just plain HTML a elements. It's also better for SEO.

A: If you are willing/able to extend your JSF 1.2 installation, you could also take a look at PrettyFaces (http://ocpsoft.com/prettyfaces/), which adds a lot of extra support for bookmark-able URLs.

(Jan. 25, 2010) — Bicyclists now have a collective voice speaking for them in South Dakota.
The South Dakota Bicycle Coalition – official as of April 2009 – looks to 2010 as a year to speak louder for cyclists throughout the state.
At the top of its overall agenda – advocating for awareness and visibility of bicycling in South Dakota.
To start out 2010, the coalition's board is actively watching a bill in the legislature – SB70 – to enact a 3-foot passing law. This proposed law would support safer sharing of roadways by better communicating a minimum, safe passing distance when motorists pass bicyclists on the road.
The board also has an eye on facilitating increased bicycling education for youth and adults and on becoming a unified voice for South Dakota's existing bicycle communities.
To learn more about the coalition, visit the website at www.SDBicycleCoalition.org, where you can learn about supporting the coalition's goals as a member. The SDBC is also on Facebook (facebook.com/SDBicycleCoalition) and on email at SDBicycleCoalition@gmail.com.

Injecting, drug dealing, bloodied wipes, 'the kids see everything'
Eilish Meagher of St Audoen's National School on Cook Street, in Dublin's inner city, keeps a thick logbook of daily incidents on the street facing her school.
"I started documenting it because people would say to me, 'That's unbelievable. It can't be happening.' But it is," she says.
"This is a nice, quiet street, but it's turned into a drugs market place. The kids see everything. There's injecting; public order problems; drug dealing; discarded syringes, bloodied wipes. All this can happen in front of our school and as our students come and go."
All of St Audoen's classrooms look out on to Dublin's historic city walls.
The area also happens to be one of the city's busiest for drug dealing and injecting – in full view of the school's 200 primary schoolchildren.
Meagher keeps the logbook in her office and reads at random from the first page that falls open.

Civil Liberties & Motorists Party, formerly the Motorists Party; Civil Liberties, Consumer Rights, No-Tolls; Consumer Rights & No-Tolls Party; No-Tolls.org; No Tolls, No Sell Offs; and Consumer Rights & No-Tolls is a Queensland-based political party. It has been registered in Queensland since 2015.

History
Founded by Jeffrey Hodges in 2012 as no-tolls.org in order to end the tolling of the Gateway and Logan Motorways in South East Queensland. The party name was changed to the Consumer Rights & No-Tolls Party and was registered with the Electoral Commission Queensland for state and local government elections since 23 October 2015, and Jeffrey Hodges stood for Mayor of Brisbane in the 2016 Brisbane City Council Mayoral election on 19 March 2016, receiving 12,600 first preference votes (2.11%).

The Consumer Rights party which was registered with the Australian Electoral Commission on 7 March 2016 and deregistered on 9 May 2018. Hodges was the only candidate endorsed by the party for the 2016 federal election, for the House of Representatives seat of Rankin.

On 20 June 2017, the party changed its name on the Queensland party register to Civil Liberties, Consumer Rights, No-Tolls and ran eight candidates at the 2017 Queensland state election.

On 7 February 2018, the Australian Electoral Commission issued a notice that it was considering deregistering the party on the grounds that it had ceased to have at least 500 members. While the notice about deregistration was still on the Electoral Commission website, a new notice was posted on 7 May 2018 reflecting an application to enter a logo, however, the next day the AEC confirmed the party had been deregistered. The secretary of the party appealed the deregistration decision however the three person Electoral Commission affirmed the decision to deregister on 21 August 2018.

The party remains registered in Queensland. The party was renamed the Motorist Party in 2019, then Civil Liberties & Motorists Party in 2020.

The party is standing 16 candidates in the 2020 Queensland state election in the seats of Stafford, Aspley, Mirani, Inala, Capalaba, Gregory, Macalister, Mermaid Beach, Gaven, Southport, Mudgeeraba, Ipswich West, Waterford, Springwood, Moggill and Clayfield.

Whether they are on the road with the band, producing a large-scale editorial spread, or shooting a more intimate portrait, photographers play an important role in the careers of musicians. Harry Benson has taken some of the most famous pictures of the Beatles since they created a frenzy when they first came to the United States. Norman Seeff, Clive Arrowsmith, Elliott Landy, and Herb Ritts are all important photographers of music culture.

Home Industry News Chief Executive confirmed for Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games Organising Committee
Chief Executive confirmed for Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games Organising Committee
Ian Reid has been confirmed as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games Organising Committee (OC), the team organising the largest event ever to be staged in the West Midlands.
The 41-year-old from Kilmacolm, near Glasgow, was the Chief Financial Officer for the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games, working on that edition of the event for more than six years. Following the 2014 Games he was appointed to lead the Commercial Finance team and join the Board of Funkin Cocktails at AG Barr plc. Other previous roles include working as the Glasgow Housing Association's Chief Financial Planner.
Ian, who has held the post of Interim Chief Executive with the Birmingham Organising Committee since May last year, said: "I am delighted to have been confirmed as Chief Executive Officer for the Organising Committee and it's an absolute honour to have been selected to lead the team.
"Over the past eight months it's been obvious to me that people from across Birmingham and the West Midlands are excited about the fantastic opportunities that hosting the Games provides. I'm determined that we will deliver an event that the city, the region and the whole country can be proud of and I'm committed to continuing to work closely with all of our partners to achieve this aim."
Ian Reid's appointment was confirmed by John Crabtree, Chair of the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games Organising Committee who said: "I am absolutely thrilled that Ian has accepted the role of CEO. To have someone leading the Organising Committee, who has first-hand experience of organising an event of this scale, has already been a massive advantage for us.
"For a major international sporting event like this, it's essential that we have someone of Ian's calibre leading the team. He played a crucial role in the success of Glasgow and he knows exactly what needs to be done, so I'm delighted to have his continued involvement."
The Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games will feature competition in 17 sports over 11 days in venues across Birmingham, the West Midlands and beyond, as well as a programme of cultural and business events, and the Organising Committee is working in partnership with Birmingham City Council, The West Midlands Combined Authority, the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, Team England and the Commonwealth Games Federation.
All of the partners welcomed the news of Ian's appointment and Mims Davies, Minister for Sport and Civil Society, said: "I was delighted to congratulate Ian today on his appointment as Chief Executive of the Birmingham 2022 Organising Committee. Ian brings a wealth of experience and expertise to the role of chief executive and will be a great asset to the committee and the games. He will play a key part in delivering a fantastic Games that showcases the best of Birmingham, the West Midlands and the UK to a global audience."
Ian, whose contract with the OC is until March 2023, has wasted no time in building his team, having appointed seven local people to new roles in recent weeks.
The new recruits include Sarah Harrod and Jigna Karia, who have both joined the finance section. Originally from Newcastle, Sarah now lives in Halesowen and has been appointed as Head of Financial Management. Jigna, who is from Kings Heath in Birmingham has been recruited as Accountant and joins from property developer St. Modwen Properties PLC.
Anita Jones has joined the Organising Committee as Compliance Manager and is from Birmingham but her previous roles have taken her as far afield as New Zealand, where she worked for St John's Ambulance.
Sarah Dickson, who lives in Solihull, has been appointed as the Organising Committee's Media and PR Manager, after completing her role as Head of Communications for last year's IAAF World Indoor Championships. And another new recruit with significant experience of working on sports events is Vicky Roberts from Sutton Coldfield, the OC's new Operations Project Co-ordinator, who's previously worked for England Netball, Swim England and UK Athletics.
Manjeeta Sonik from Great Barr and Kesh Ladwa, who was born in Birmingham and now lives in Warwickshire, have both joined the workforce section of the Organising Committee. Manjeeta has taken on the role of HR Reporting and Systems Analyst and Kesh is the Organising Committee's new Strategic Resourcing Manager, leading the OC's current recruitment drive.
Leader of Birmingham City Council, Ian Ward, said: "Having been a part of the Birmingham 2022 team since the honour of Host City passed to us from the Gold Coast, Ian already knows what is needed to deliver a great Games here. His permanent appointment will ensure the progress already made is continued – and as the Organising Committee is likely to include more than 1,000 employees, I'm sure that those seven local people that have been recruited so far will be joined by many others very soon."
Today's announcement was also welcomed by Andy Street, Mayor of the West Midlands, who said: "Hosting the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games will bring huge economic benefits to the West Midlands region including providing local people with the opportunity of new employment and the chance for skills development. That's clearly already being demonstrated by Ian's appointments to the Organising Committee so far."
The Organising Committee is currently recruiting to several senior officer roles and the next vacancy to be advertised by the OC is that of Head of Engagement and Legacy. A crucial role which will see the successful candidate develop, implement and lead on the Games engagement strategy, with the role holder also taking on responsibility for legacy planning and delivery and leading on cross partner legacy initiatives.
This brand new role will be advertised shortly at www.birmingham2002.com/jobs and you can also keep up to date with all the current vacancies by following the Games on Twitter or Facebook or by following the official Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games page on Linked In.

New Delhi, In the fresh list of candidates for Lok Sabha polls, the BJP on late Friday night released the names of five party nominees from Odisha including party spokesman Sambit Patra for the Puri parliamentary constituency.
Ahead of the multi-phased polls, 23 candidates have been announced for Andhra Pradesh, six candidates for Maharashtra and one candidate each for Assam and Meghalaya.
Among the parliamentary seats in Andhra Pradesh – the party named Satya Gopinath Dasparavasthu from Rajamundhry, Chinnam Ramkottaya from Eluru, Dilip Kumar Kilaru for Vijaywada and Valluru Jayaprakash Narayana for Guntur.
The BJP nominee for Chittoor SC reserved seat will be Jayaram Duggani and Bommi Sri Hari Rao will be party candidate from Tirupati reserved constituency.
The announcement by BJP CEC secretary and Union Minister J P Nadda also said that among others Dr P V Parthasarthi will be the saffron party candidate from Kurnool.
In Maharashtra, the BJP candidates include Smita Uday Wagh from Jalgaon, Girish Bapat from Pune and Kanchan Rahul Kul from Baramati.
In Assam, ending speculation, the BJP decided to field Pallab Lochan Das from Tezpur.
Earlier, the party toyed with the idea of fielding state Finance Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma for the seat but later gave up the move on the ground that Mr Sarma as North-East Democratic Alliance (NEDA) convenor will be more involved in campaigning in the entire north east region.
Mr Das is sitting MLA representing Rangapara constituency and is Assam Tea Tribes Welfare (Independent charge) Minister. He will have to sweat it out against Congress nominee, former Assam bureaucrat and Andhra Pradesh-born MGVK Bhanu.
The list of BJP nominees was released after BJP CEC meeting which was attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, BJP chief Amit Shah and senior leaders of the party.
In Odisha, Sambit Patra will be BJP nominee from temple town Puri. Besides, the party has named Jayaram Pangi from Koraput ST seat, Basanta Kumar Panda from Kalahandi, Nitesh Ganga Deb from Sambhalpur and Suresh Pujari from Bargarh.
In Meghalaya, for the prestigious Shillong seat, the BJP named its legislator Sambor Shullai while its alliance partners have backed the candidature of Jemino Mawthoh of UDP.


Sometimes simple spells can be the best spells. They may not feel quite as magickal as a really elaborate ritual, but many witches feel they can focus more on their intentions if they are not worrying about all the details.
This is particularly true for anyone just beginning to learn about witchcraft. Don't start out with long spells with 10 ingredients that take 3 weeks to complete. Start with some basic simple spells.
Few people can say they are happy with their weight, but be honest with yourself about whether you really need to lose those pounds. You can add some simple spell assistance to your weight loss with just a brown candle.
Carve at the top of your candle, your current weight. At the bottom, carve in the weight you'd like to be (realistically). Every night before you go to bed, light the candle for 15 minutes. As the candle wax melts down towards your goal weight, you will start to slim down.
If there is someone in your life that you would like to not be involved with anymore, this is the spell for you. All you need is a black sheet of paper. Black construction paper is likely the easiest to find and will work fine.
Step over the place you've buried the paper, and that person will soon fade from your life.
Repeat the words 3 times, and then leave the candle to burn out. Watch for some new love to make itself known. If you liked this one, there is another page for more easy love spells. Easy free spells can help you get the hang of spellcasting, especially if you are just starting to build your collection of supplies. It can be hard to cast a spell with 7 ingredients when you just have a few things on hand. There are more pages with other easy spells so don't stop here.

Eppley Develops and Refines Competency Frameworks with Three Partner Organizations
Facility Management, Leadership, Training
At the Eppley Institute, we recognize that the work of parks, recreation, and public land managers is highly demanding, dynamic, and complex. Knowing that the development of professionals in this field is crucial to the performance of park and recreation organizations, the Eppley Institute has developed competency-based management models to aide many of our partners in the realization of their goals. Competencies include those professional skills, knowledge, and characteristics needed for individual job performance, and ultimately, for organizational success. Competencies can be used as standards for training and development, mechanisms to determine hiring standards, tools for employee evaluation, and frameworks for career advancement, among other applications. Over the course of two decades, our competency development work has included partners such as the National Park Service, American Trails, and the World Parks Academy.
During 2022, the Eppley Institute's award-winning collaboration with the National Park Service (NPS) facility management team reached its 17th year of competency development and ongoing, evidence-based revisions. Beginning in 2005, Eppley has guided the NPS in developing competencies for facility management professionals. Application of these competencies has included subsequent gap analyses, training development programs, and applied learning for workforce development. Ultimately, the NPS Facility Manager Leaders Program resulted from this work and became the first Department of Interior program to win the Deming Award for workforce development.
This past year also marked the completion of a revised set of park professional competencies for the World Parks Academy (WPA). Prior to this time, few park professionals worldwide could seek credentials through a national certifying body. As a result, the Eppley Institute proposed an international competency-based certification program through the WPA in 2013-14. This 2021-2022 revision was led by the Eppley Institute's research team and included a literature review and collection of expert feedback through a modified Delphi research process. Feedback emphasized themes such as changing climate; environmental sustainability, biodiversity, and ecosystem services; strategic planning; and DEIJ considerations. Two new competencies, "Relationships with Native and Indigenous People" and "Interpretation as a Tool and Resource" were also added. This updated framework provides a relevant and all-encompassing foundation for park, recreation, and protected area managers globally.
Finally, 2021-22 marked a period in which the research team, together with a nationwide group of trail professionals led by partners at American Trails, developed a common set of core trail competencies to promote professionalism and a higher level of skill for those working in trails. More than 200 nationwide trail experts provided input into the resulting Trail Competency Framework. Next steps include creating opportunities to align, integrate, and coordinate trail trainings nationwide; communicating needs for technical trail expertise; and increasing the overall skill level of the trail workforce. This work has also resulted in a new project with American Trails; the team at Eppley is currently developing seven online e-courses that derive, in part, from this competency work.

If you followed this watch its adventures through our Instagram posts and stories, you will know it had a blast! Our adventurous buddy and photographer, Jeroen Vink wore this Explorer II while Exploring the High North.
Upon the watch it's return, we did a full check up of the movement, the lubricants in the jewels and the watch it's timestamp. It became clear the watch started to run a bit slower then when it left, probably due to the zub zero temperatures and the temperature variations (going from +20 degrees from inside a log cabin, to -20 degrees outside in the snow). Apart from the small loss in time a few more scratches we're added to the Oyster bracelet – No other problems or hick ups were detected after the Explorer's zub zero adventure. Now, we can tell you all about the gorgeous 'Chicchi di Mais' dial and the beautiful warm patina, about the original matching hands. About the very strong case and bracelet and the fact this beauty is accompanied by it's original box and papers – but I think you guys will understand this by now. We'll just let the photo's do the talking!
The movement is again serviced and regulated but we will leave it to the buyer to do do anything about the watch it's adventurous 'battlescars' A polish is easily done, but that polished material can't ever be brought back.
This beautiful Explorer II will be sold with a 12 month warranty.

Two-thirds of college seniors graduate with student loan debt, with an average of $26,000 per borrower, according to 2011 data.
Making difficult financial decisions, such as whether to apply for student loans, may be a reality for the majority of Thurston County students. The Lacey Branch of Boys & Girls Clubs of Thurston County is helping students prepare for their future by teaching them financial literacy through the Comcast Digital Connectors Program.
Last year, the Lacey Boys & Girls Club won a grant to provide the Comcast Digital Connectors program in the Thurston County area. Comcast created the program to help communities understand the benefits of using broadband internet service.
The group of teens, ages 12-16, meets weekly to learn technical skills, broadband technology, digital literacy, software, networks, hardware, and some programming.
The curriculum also provides them with additional skills, such as personal finance and budgeting, skills that inspire educational advancement and workforce preparation. Community service is an important part of the program. The teens commit to provide several hours a month volunteering at community-based organizations, senior centers, churches, and local schools.
The youth, led by instructor Mason Bassett, just finished the financial literacy component of the program. Comcast partnered with EverFi – Financial Literacy™ to provide the curriculum.
EverFi is a new-media learning platform that uses video, animations, 3-D gaming, avatars, and social networking to teach complex financial concepts to youth. In the virtual learning environment kids are able to weigh consequences and choices, and learn to make good financial decisions in a risk-free environment.
The EverFi curriculum covers a variety of topics. Youth learn the importance of maintaining good credit scores, how to purchase insurance, the pros and cons of credit cards, an introduction to taxes investing, savings, retirement plans and mortgages. The curriculum also covers budgeting and the importance of making good financial choices on a daily basis.
"They learn important decision making skills, such as how much to spend on certain portions of their life based on where they are in their lives. They learned that a lot of little purchases will add up quickly if they use credit cards," said Mason Bassett, the Digital Connectors Instructor at the Lacey Boys & Girls Club.
The kids love the program that is set-up like a video game. "They play out avatars, go through life and make choices. Then they see the results and consequences of their choices. For example, what if your car breaks down? Before that they had the option to save their money or spend it or invest it. If they spent the money and had nothing left in savings, they get to realize they made a bad decision because they had no money set aside to repair their car," said Bassett.
Boys & Girls Club students earned a certification in financial capability upon completion of the EverFi curriculum, which can be included on resumes and college applications. They also earned badges along the way for mastering key skills.

ICO applies for warrant as Facebook scandal escalates
Facebook has been rocked by the ongoing Cambridge Analytica scandal, with $37bn (£26bn) wiped off its value as the Information Commissioner's Office ratchets up its investigation by seeking a warrant to access the data company's servers.
The ICO is seeking evidence as part of its ongoing probe into the company's use of data analytics for political purposes – launched last year – and has been forced to apply to a court for a warrant today, after Cambridge Analytica failed to respond to a deadline for access to its records.
Commissioner Elizabeth Denham told Channel 4: "I'm not accepting their response so therefore I'll be applying to the court for a warrant."
The move comes amid reports that the ICO has demanded that Facebook "stands down" from its own investigation into the issue; it is understood that Facebook chiefs and lawyers were already in the Cambridge Analytica offices.
Downing Street has also waded in; Theresa May has called on the company to "co-operate fully" with the ICO, while Number 10 branded allegations that Cambridge Analytica harvested more than 50 million Facebook profiles in a data breach "very concerning".
As if that wasn't damaging enough, Channel 4 News has also broadcast undercover footage in which Cambridge Analytica chief executive Alexander Nix appears to suggest tactics his company could use to discredit politicians online.
In the footage, when asked what "deep digging" could be done, Nix told an undercover reporter: "Oh, we do a lot more than that" and suggested one way to target an individual was to "offer them a deal that's too good to be true and make sure that's video recorded".
Nix also said he could "send some girls around to the candidate's house…" adding that Ukrainian girls "are very beautiful, I find that works very well". He continued: "I'm just giving you examples of what can be done and what has been done."
Nix told the BBC's Newsnight programme that he regarded the Channel 4 report as a "misrepresentation of the facts" and said he felt the firm had been "deliberately entrapped".

ElBaradei Rises to Lead Egypt's Opposition
Former diplomat, politician and presidential candidate Mohamed ElBaradei has risen again, this time to lead Egypt's opposition movement.
Chana Ya'ar, 06/12/12 09:04
Egyptian opposition leader Mohamed ElBaradei
ElBaradei has become the coordinator of the National Salvation Front, a newly unified secular movement determined to oppose Egypt's Islamist President Mohamed Morsi.
The group threatens nationwide protests until Morsi responds to calls for national dialogue over a controversial draft Constitution and retracts a recent decree granting himself sweeping new powers.
At a news conference Wednesday announcing his new position, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate and former head of the United Nations International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) urged the president to open his eyes.
Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood backers, said ElBaradei, should "see what is happening in the Egyptian street, the division, the polarization. This is something that leads us to violence and worse," he said, according to the Egypt Independent.
Since Morsi issued the new decree nearly two weeks ago, the streets of Cairo have seen protests nightly. The move prompted many to charge Morsi with attempting to become "the new Pharaoh."
With overwhelming support from a parliament controlled by his party and those even more radically Islamist, his edict placed the authority of his office above that of the judiciary.
He also rushed to pass a newly-completed draft Constitution written by a National Assembly comprised of Islamist members. The process was boycotted by Christians, secularists and liberal lawmakers. The president immediately set December 15 for a national referendum on passage of the new Constitution.
"The ball is in his court," ElBaradei acknowledged, but warned, "Bullying will not accomplish anything in this country. "
Just as nearly two years ago the revolution had destroyed the decades-old regime of former President Hosni Mubarak, Elbaradei reminded Morsi that it could easily happen again.
"Egyptians will protest in every place, and use all legitimate measures, and won't back down from this battle we began for freedom," he said, describing Morsi's administration as "a repressive regime."
Reminding the Egyptian public of the goals for which they had fought in 2011, ElBaradei noted, "The demands of the revolution were for social justice, freedom and dignity. Our battle continues, and will be peaceful. Our strength is in our unity and numbers, and we will be victorious because we are in the right.
"I call on Morsi to appear on TV to address the nation to announce that he is open to national dialogue," ElBaradei said.

Snatched gem returned to church after nine months
This iconic jewel was returned nine months after robbers stole it
A STOLEN ceremonial jewel depicting one of the Bible's most historic moments has been miraculously returned after a nine month mystery.
The iconic amethyst stone, attached to a gold ring, was snatched during a raid on the home of the Church of Scotland's moderator the Very Reverend John Christie just before Christmas.
All hope of seeing the gem ever again was all but gone.
But on Tuesday (September 27) a mystery letter was opened at the chuch's head office in Edinburgh.
Church officials were left astonished when they found the anonymous mail contained the missing stone.
The gold ring to which it was attached was nowhere to be seen.
But the return of the jewel means the ring can be remade and given to Rev Christie's successor, the Right Reverend David Arnott.
The stone has a majestic carving of the burning bush – a symbol widely used by the reformed church – which refers to Moses preparing to lead the Isrealites out of Egypt.
The scene is considered to be a turning point in the Old Testament.
Alongside the image is the motto in Latin stating: "Yet it was not consumed".
Since the early 1900s the ring has been handed to moderators.
But it was taken from Rev Christie's Helensburgh home during a callous robbery just before Christmas.
He said he was delighted at the stone's return. "We had some hope in the days after the theft that it would be returned. Of course, over time that becomes less likely," he said.
"It's not something I've thought about every single day, but I was upset at the time and I was pleasantly surprised to find out about its return."
Mr Christie awoke on December 24 to find his house had been burgled, with the thieves taking the ring along with personal items.
Police continue to treat it as a "live inquiry".
Its theft meant Mr Arnott would have become the first moderator in generations not to be given the ring when he took over.
Despite his joy at the return, Mr Christie was at pains to emphasise the context of the crime, especially as his hometown was recently the scene of the murder of a father and two children in a house fire.
"When it was taken, around that time there was a lorry driver killed on the A9 and that put my upset into perspective.
"And now it has been returned, we have to remember that in Helensburgh we have had an even more tragic incident. It was only a stone and a piece of gold – that woman has lost three members of her family."
Mr Christie added that he suspected the gold had been sold, and that when the stone arrived in someone's hands they decided to "do the right thing" and return it to its owner.
Staff at the church's office on Edinburgh's George Street were stunned when the package arrived, simply addressed to the "moderator of the Church of Scotland".
A spokesman for the organisation said: "It will have caused some surprise. I don't think anyone was expecting that."

Prosecutors decline sex-crime charges against Kevin Spacey, Steven Seagal and Anthony Anderson
By NANCY DILLON
Kevin Spacey in Beverly Hills in 2017, left, and Steven Seagal in Moscow, Russia, in 2013. Los Angeles prosecutors have rejected filing sexual assault cases against the actors for cases dating back to the early 1990s, citing the statute of limitations. (/ AP)
It's simply too late to file criminal charges against Kevin Spacey and Steven Seagal for alleged sex assaults dating back to the 1990s, prosecutors said Tuesday.
The statutes of limitations for the alleged crimes expired years ago, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office said as it released charge evaluation worksheets for the cases.
Prosecutors also declined to file anything against "Black-ish" star Anthony Anderson in a case involving an alleged rape on Feb. 24 and an alleged assault on April 24.
The reporting party "declined to be interviewed by the investigating officer" so there was insufficient evidence to bring any charges, the worksheet for Anderson's case released Tuesday said.
The DA's office announced in April that it was reviewing the 1992 allegations against Spacey. The case involved a man who claimed he was raped by the Oscar winner in West Hollywood, officials said.

"The allegation is outside the statute of limitations, therefore, an analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the evidence is not warranted and prosecutor is declined," prosecutors said in the worksheet released Tuesday in the Spacey case.
The DA's special task force handling sex crimes in Hollywood is still considering a separate case against Spacey handed over to prosecutors last month.
That case involves allegations Spacey assaulted a man in Malibu two years ago, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said.

In the Seagal case rejected by prosecutors, the accuser said she was 18 years old in 1993 when the actor allegedly raped her.
"The statute of limitations expired in 1999. Therefore, an analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the evidence is not warranted and the matter is declined," the DA worksheet for that case said.
Lawyer Lisa Bloom said the Seagal case involved her client, Regina Simons.

Simons stepped forward earlier this year with claims Seagal raped her at his Beverly Hills mansion when she was an 18-year-old virgin who appeared as an extra in his film "On Deadly Ground."
"I can't blame the district attorney for following the law. The statute of limitations is every predator's best friend. If he can simply run down the clock he gets a get out of jail free card," Bloom told the Daily News on Tuesday.
Bloom said a second client, Faviola Dadis, also filed a police report against Seagal alleging an assault when she was underage.

"I am so honored to represent Regina Simons and Faviola Dadis, both of whom had the courage to file police reports and speak out publicly against Steven Seagal. As Ms. Dadis alleges that she was 17 years old at the time of her sexual assault, my understanding is that her case is still actively being investigated and a longer statute of limitations applies," Bloom said Tuesday.
Attempts to reach a representative for Segal were not immediately successful.
Dadis and Simons appeared at a joint press conference with Bloom last March. Simons broke down in tears as she described Seagal allegedly attacking her after luring her to his house with the bogus claim he was throwing a wrap party.

"I was in shock. I was completely caught off-guard. Seagal was more than twice my size and more than twice my age. I was not sexually active and had never been naked in front of a man before. I froze," she said.
Famous actresses Jenny McCarthy, Portia de Rossi and Julianna Margulies have also accused Seagal of sexual misconduct.
McCarthy said the action star demanded she show him her breasts during a 1995 audition for "Under Siege 2." She said the role did not include any on-screen nudity.
De Rossi accused Seagal of unzipping his pants during an audition.


Where are we in the crisis? Where are we going? What is to be done?
In the latest chapter of the credit crisis, the U.S. Government announced this week that it would take equity stakes in the country's top financial institutions. As has been the case been throughout the crisis, there has been a huge amount written about whether the Treasury's actions will be effective. Much of that writing, like the bank balance sheets that have helped cause the credit crisis, may be opaque to a non-expert reader.

Colour cinema in Scotland, 1896-1906: the materiality of colour and its social contexts in Aberdeen, Inverness and Edinburgh
McBurney, Stephen (2018) Colour cinema in Scotland, 1896-1906: the materiality of colour and its social contexts in Aberdeen, Inverness and Edinburgh. PhD thesis, University of Glasgow.
Due to Embargo and/or Third Party Copyright restrictions, this thesis is not available in this service.
Over the course of six chapters, this thesis documents colour cinema in Scotland between 1896-1906, focusing on three locations: Aberdeen, Inverness and Edinburgh. Chapter One sets out the scope of the thesis, and defines the terms 'colour', 'cinema' and 'place'. An overview of the relevant existing literature is then provided, tracing the evolution of the historiography of Scottish cinema and that of early colour film more widely. This chapter argues that ideologically charged historiographies have largely dismissed or marginalised both Scottish cinema and early colour film; the former deemed irrelevant, and the latter juvenile or crude. Chapter One concludes with a discussion of the historiographic principles upheld in "New Cinema History", drawing attention to the pertinence of such principles for this thesis's methodology. Chapter Two profiles prominent colour film technologies and techniques that were in use between 1896-1906, and is split into six sections: coloured lights, tinting, toning, hand-painting, stencilling and Kinemacolor. Chapter Three focuses on early cinema in Aberdeen, in particular Walker & Company, and their experiments with hand- painted films and coloured lights. Walker & Company purchased and hand-painted Up the Nile, the Way to Atbara (1899) to conjure imperialist sentiment; produced and hand- painted The Great Fire of Bridge Place (1899) as a polemic against Aberdeen Council; and experimented with coloured lights on film in spectacular and innovative ways. Chapter Four addresses early cinema in Inverness, focusing on the town's only filmmaker and exhibitor: John Mackenzie. Mackenzie dismissed painted films because they jarred with his aesthetic principles as a serious photographer. Furthermore, the serpentine dance was locally condemned as immoral, thus rendering the widely popular hand-painted film versions of this routine as a subversive force. Chapter Four concludes with a discussion of Mackenzie's filmic representations of the Highlands, and how they dramatically changed once he accepted an offer of employment from the Charles Urban Trading Company in 1903. Chapter Five documents early cinema in Edinburgh, highlighting the colourful sensorial environments within which early local film exhibitions took place; the conspicuous presence of stereoscopy and colour photography in early cinema; and the influence of Edinburgh's rich pantomime traditions on local exhibitors. Chapter Six stresses the importance of this thesis, and its potential ramifications for future research.

The General Availability release of Windows Server 2019 took place on October 2, 2018. The release of a new OS is a signal that the days are numbered for the previous OS version. So for those of you who just upgraded to Server 2016, this may make you want to pull your hair out. You've got less than three years until mainstream support ends for Server 2016.
It seems like only yesterday that Windows Server 2012 came out. Many IT professionals were slow in implementing it due to its detraction of the standard Windows desktop interface that we had all grown accustomed to. In fact, according to a Spiceworks survey in August of 2016, Windows Server 2008 was still the on-premise Server OS market leader with 45.4 percent of the market. At the time, Server 2012 took second place with 23.6 percent. Mainstream support for it ended just over two years later on October 9, 2018 with extended support terminating on October 10, 2023.
There were great things about Server 2016 besides just the return of the start menu. Server 2016 introduced Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI) to the Windows server platform with its Storage Spaces Direct component. This allowed Microsoft to directly compete with Nutanix and other HCI platform vendors. Server 2016 also improved security with the release of Privileged Access Management (PAM) which allowed organizations to granularly assign access levels to specific users over specified lengths of time. So the question is, if Server 2016 was so good, why is its support ending so soon?
Why does Microsoft put time limits for their support?
As much as admins and businesses may love their current operating system, Microsoft will eventually turn the screws and compel all but the most loyal of users to move on. This tough love process of foisting us to upgrade our operating systems is actually a good thing. Technology continually changes and is exponentially doing so at an ever increasing rate as time goes on. Protocols are deprecated as they become exploited or are replaced by new ones. Network architectures and data center strategies evolve over the years as well, invoking new technologies. Consider how much datacenters have radically changed from even a decade ago with the implementation of cloud integrations, computer virtualization and software defined networking. In order to remain competitive, companies must continually upgrade to the most current systems to take advantage of value added technologies. Finally, software companies simply can't afford to support every product version forever.
For those unfamiliar with the Microsoft support model, the company offers two support periods. The first is called mainstream support. Mainstream support typically lasts for five years. During this time, Microsoft commits to regular feature updates, design changes, warranty claims, patching and security/non-security updates. Mainstream support for Server 2016 will terminate on January 11, 2022. Once mainstream ends, the OS enters what is referred to as extended support. This is a minimum support level that includes continued patching for bugs as well as security updates. While the OS may grow stale during this time due to the lack of innovation, it remains safe to use. Extended support for Windows Server 2016 ends on January 11, 2027. At that point, all but the most adamant users will be forced to upgrade to Windows Server 2019 or whatever the OS after that will be referred to as.
In the past, companies have often chosen to hang on to their equipment even past its End of Life cycle when it was a purely on-prem world. But the world is different today. As companies race to complete their digital transformations in order to stay competitive, the datacenter of yesteryear is now comprised of complex Hybrid IT architectures of both an on prem datacenter and multiple public and private clouds. All of this calls for careful strategic planning and continual upgrades in order to leverage new technologies as they become available. IT is no longer just a cost center that is charged with keeping everything running. Internal IT is now a primary source for innovation and ideas in order to solve business problems and find new opportunities. In order to succeed in its new leadership role, IT can no longer hold on to outdated technologies.
What's New In Windows Server 2019?
Windows Server 2019 was created for hybrid environments. On prem servers must be cloud ready as datacenters are no longer geocentric. While Microsoft dipped its toe into the HCI waters with Server 2016, Server 2019 has expanded its HCI capabilities and established itself as a fully software-defined platform based on Hyper-V. Microsoft made several significant improvements to its latest server OS to better support cloud applications, including reducing its container footprint. Windows Server 2019 also includes Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) that protects common vectors from security breaches and other malicious attacks. All of that plus the new Windows Admin Center that consolidates all aspects of local and remote server management to a single pane of glass.
There's a lot of good reasons to upgrade to Windows Server 2019. Often times the upgrade of servers means the upgrade of hardware as well. This is especially true for those that want to take advantage of HCI consolidated hardware that Server 2019 was designed for. That means you will need to recycle or dispose of your old server boxes. And that's where we come in. Our data destruction and recycling services are trusted by agencies and enterprises with highly sensitive data all across the country. With Exit Technologies, you can rest easy knowing that your data is secure in good hands because we've spent over 25 years perfecting our custom built data destruction software/hardware solutions.
Server 2016 isn't at end of life yet, but now is the time to start planning for the transition to its replacement. If your company is switching to new servers to prepare for Windows Server End of Life, Exit Technologies has the services that you need.
