All claims, demands, disputes, controversies, differences or misunderstandings between or among the parties hereto or any other persons bound hereby arising out of or by virtue of this agreement shall be submitted to and determined by arbitration.
The plaintiff initially filed suit under N.J.S.A. 14 A:5-28(4) in September 2009 to secure access to corporation to the books and records of the business. He later amended his complaint to assert claims as an oppressed minority shareholder and as a derivative plaintiff on behalf of the company in August 2010, N.J.S.A.14A:12-7(c). In January 2012, defendants moved to compel arbitration and the trial court found that the dispute did not fall within the scope of the arbitration agreement.
The Plaintiff argued that the language "arising out of or by virtue of this Agreement" was much narrower than other cases that have broadly construed arbitration agreements. In those cases the agreement to arbitrate covered disputes "arising out of or relating to," which the plaintiff claimed was much broader. The Appellate Division reversed, rejecting the plaintiff's argument.
We find that even under the more restrictive "arising out of" language of the Agreement, the arbitration provision applies to plaintiff's claim. The purpose of the Agreement was to control and restrict the ability of shareholders to sell or dispose of their shares. Because plaintiff's clear intent in bringing his action was to compel the sale of his corporate shares, this action "arose under" the agreement.
The enforcement of the agreement to arbitrate is not much of a surprise. Established public policy favors arbitration over litigation and there is a presumption in favor of arbitration. The delay of two years in seeking to enforce the arbitration agreement is something that should raise some concerns to litigants.
Often plaintiffs will bring cases in suit despite an agreement to arbitrate figuring that only if the defendants complain they will honor the agreement. What these plaintiffs are not contemplating is that the litigation could reach a very advance stage – there are actually some decisions that enforce agreements to arbitrate after trial – and that a great deal of time and money could be spent unnecessarily. It's an expensive risk to take.

Rock and Roll: Howard Costa's '57 Chevy
By Ken Curtis - Special to The Garden Island | Saturday, February 11, 2012, 11:45 p.m.
Ford outsold Chevrolet in 1957, but that year's Chevrolet Bel Aire became the icon of the solidly built, heavily chromed, high-finned cars of the '50s. There are cars with more chrome; 1958 Buicks and Oldsmobiles come to mind. Fins reached their zenith in 1959. So why has the '57 Chevy become such a sought-after vehicle? Perhaps it's the balance — just enough fin, complemented by a healthy dose of sparkle. Whatever the reason, people love them.
Howard Costa is no stranger to the car scene. The Costa Ohana wins more than its fair share of trophies at the Garden Island Racing Association's drag strip at Mana. And Howard — well, let's just say that he has an impressive collection of vehicles, including a '23 T-Bucket, a '68 Camaro drag-racing machine, a '78 El Camino, a '79 Chevy Malibu, an '80 Bronco 4×4, a late-model Chevy pickup, and this week's featured vehicle, a 1957 Chevy two-door post with a multitude of modifications, both seen and unseen.
The Chevy started out in Arizona, made its way to O'ahu and eventually to Nelson Silva's driveway on Kaua'i. Costa purchased his black beauty from Silva in 1996. The car has power disc brakes, and Paul Silva, Jr. installed lightweight A-arms. The most visible modification is the Bel Aire trim on the rear fenders — the feature that makes a '57 Chevy so identifiable. The glistening black bodylines are highlighted by lavender pinstripes expertly applied by Alan Perreira.
A slew of window stickers provides subtle clues as to the nature of the beast; the muscular bulge of the cowl-induction hood serves notice that you will not find a wimpy engine underneath. When Howard fires up the '57, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that it takes a lot of power to make that healthy rumble. Under the hood is a 415 cubic-inch Chevy small block that produces about 500 horsepower.
A high-lift roller cam activates the valves. Torque passes through an aluminum flywheel, a racing clutch and a five-speed Richmond manual transmission. The rear axle is a 12-bolt Nova differential with 4.11 gears — good for rapid acceleration; not so good for fuel economy. The lightweight Centerline rims are for racing; the rear tires are of a soft rubber compound for better traction on the asphalt. The Flowmaster exhaust system muffles the sound, but does not render it silent. That's one of the reasons Howard had dubbed his car "Rock and Roll:" he says, "it sounds so good, you have to give it the gas. It wants to rock and roll." Though he has not raced this vehicle, Costa believes the car is capable of about 125 mph in under 11 seconds in the quarter mile.
But we haven't even mentioned the "secret ingredient." On the floor behind the passenger seat is a small, blue tank that has "NOS" inscribed on it. That stands for nitrous oxide — commonly known as "laughing gas." Injecting nitrous boosts the Chevy an additional 200 horsepower; that brings it up to about 700 ponies. The posh interior features charcoal and black upholstery complete with the Chevrolet logo. The driver grips a luxurious tilt wheel as the black fuzzy dice swing from the rear view mirror. But as nice as the Chevy is, it's for sale, along with his T-Bucket.
As proprietor of Costa's Auto Repair, Howard "loves Toyotas," and he specializes in repairing them. Knowing this, I asked if he had ever thought about building a hot Toyota. He replied with a smile, "You should see my wife Laurie's '92 Corolla. I took out the 1600 engine and put in an 1800, put headers on it, and I reworked the fuel injection." Yes, indeed: Howard is a "go-fast" car guy. Maybe Laurie will be racing her Corolla soon.

Love is in the air! Valentine's Day is the one holiday where love is truly appreciated, and for those who are single, completely shunned. Along with candy, flowers and gift baskets, music about love also plays a big part in the celebration.
So The Boombox rounded up some of the "sweetest" love songs from your favorite artists in honor of Cupid's day. R&B singers Sade, Marvin Gaye, Tinashe, Anita Baker, T-Pain, Mariah Carey, Tyrese and others have some fantastic ballads of loveworthy confection in their discography.
With our 10 'Sweet' R&B Love Songs list we want to show that no matter the holiday - Valentine's Day or otherwise - love will never go out of style. Peep our list below.
T-Pain sings about a night of sweet love making on the melodic "Sweet." "Bottom line, you are the greatest / Have you ever heard of a Love TKO / Well girl you are Mike Tyson and I like it," he sings. Teddy Penderazdoun's song is perfect for your bedroom playlist.
R. Kelly celebrates the love of his late mother Joanne Kelly, on the touching ballad, "(Sweet) Sadie," which is a soulful flip of the Spinners' classic 1975 of the same name. Whether it's on Valentine's Day or not, a mother's love is the greatest love of all.
"You Are the Sweetest One"
When it comes to singing love ballads, no one does it better than the late Luther Vandross. This 1980 love confection features the singer praising his woman for being the sweetest love that he's ever known. "The world's sweetest lady / Live around my way / And I think that I'm in love / Hey there sweet one / You don't know what you've done / I was once so lonely / Now I only think of love, of love sweet love / And you're the sweetest one," he sings. How sweet it is.
Tinashe is one of the hottest singers in the R&B game right now. But back in 2012, when she was relatively unknown, she dropped her second mixtape called Reverie. The tape helped build her loyal fan base and subsequently landed her deal with RCA Records. On the tape, there was a hidden track called "Sweet Sensation" but it was only a snippet.
Anita Baker's classic ballad "Sweet Love" is, arguably, one of the greatest love songs of all time and will give you warm fuzzies in your heart. It's a beautiful tune both melodically and lyrically. On the song, Baker's confirms her undying commitment to her boo. "Your heart has called me closer to you / I will be all that you need / Just trust in what we're feeling / Never leave, 'cause baby, I believe in this love," she sings. Watch the video below and see why Baker is one of R&B's greatest vocal singers and be saddened by the fact that she's now retiring from music.
Music trivia: Rap superstar Drake sampled "Sweet Love" for his 9th Wonder-produced song "Think Good Thoughts" on his 2007 mixtape, Comeback Season.
In 1995, Mariah Carey scored a big hit with her collaborative song "One Sweet Day" with Boyz II Men. The song was dedicated to specific people in both Carey and Boyz II Men's lives who have passed away from AIDS, an epidemic that was prevalent at that time. The song spent 16 consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and one of the most successful songs of the 1990s.
Before he became a big-screen action hero, Tyrese was a soulful balladeer in the late '90s. In 1998, the California native released "Sweet Lady," a sumptuous ballad from his self-titled album. On the song, the crooner professes his affection for a woman that catches his eye. "Sweet lady would you be my / Sweet love for a lifetime / I'll be there when you need me / Just call and receive me," he sings. The single earned Tyrese a Grammy nomination for Best R&B Male Vocal Performance.
Now this is a really sweet song both in its lyrics and production. Over a melodic piano riff, bass violins and twangy guitars, George Duke and Stanley Clarke created arguably one of the most infectious love ballads in the R&B genre. On the song, Duke asks for a second chance at love with a former flame. "Oh it's you sweet baby / Though we've had such a long hard road to climb, sweet baby / Only hopin' it's not too late to try again / It's you, sweet baby," he pleads.
We has to end our list with the sweetest love song of all time -- Sade's "Sweetest Taboo." The sumptuous ballad has become a long-standing mainstay on Quiet Storm radio formats. The song is about a man who brings Sade to the height of ultimate sexual satisfaction. "There's a quiet storm and it never felt like this before / There's a quiet storm, that is you," she sings.

Secret Nail Flooring Staple Gun 3 in 1 is the air-powered tool which suitable for nailing tongue and groove floorboards. Its ergonomic extended handle makes for a comfortable working position. Easy to use the nail gun to get a great result – hitting the gun pushes the boards together and fires the secret nail gun. The nail or staple is shooting from the floorboard edge so it is unseeable. Adjusts to varying thicknesses of flooring. When secret nailing, boards 85mm and under are fastened to the joist/substrate through the tongue at a 45-degree angle. Ensuring the boards are firmly seated, the groove side of the next board is inserted over the tongue of the nailed board covering the nail, hence secret nailed. Pneumatic secret nail guns are now commonly usable which cramp the board and inserts a nail in a single motion. This Craftor tool is a 3-in-1 combo tool that acts as both a cleat nailer and a stapler. Convenient and easy-to-use, this tool features one magazine for three functions and can hold staples or T cleats or L cleats.
So where to buy Secret Nail Flooring Staple Gun?
Damaged of split air hoses can cause a "whip" hazard. Immediately replace damaged air hoses.
Ensure all air couplings are secure and fight.
Do not try to modify the tool to accept fasteners other than those specified.
Only use this equipment for its intended use. Do not modify or change its design.
When the tool is not in use always disconnect from the air supply.
Maintenance should only be carried out by a competent person.
Never point the nail gun at people or yourself.

Market Perspectives
Dollars Everywhere But Not A Dime to Lend
The biggest banks in the U.S. are hoarding cash and Treasuries and the highest levels ever
American individuals and businesses are struggling to get access to reasonably priced loans
You would think that with interest rates near-zero and bank deposits exploding, banks would be falling over themselves to lend out cash, but you'd be wrong.
Even as the pandemic tightens its grip of the economy, U.S. banks have reduced the portion of their collective balance sheets dedicated to loans to a new low for everyday borrowers.
Total loans at the 25 largest American banks now comprise less than 46% of combined assets, down from 54% this time last year, according to weekly U.S. Federal Reserve data.
And while some of that decrease can be attributed to a rise in deposits, it also provides a fresh reality check for the banking industry which has been quick to trumpet its support for businesses and households amidst the pandemic.
Instead of lending (which is technically what banks are also supposed to do), banks have been expanding their holdings of U.S. Treasuries and government-backed mortgage securities – in other words they've become decidedly more risk averse.
Even as yield on junk bonds has dipped below 4%, banks appear less confident on the next phase of economic recovery and seem to be prefiguring a swathe of defaults when government support is eventually withdrawn.
Loans by U.S. banks fell over 1% from last year to US$5.5 trillion, a figure that also includes new loans backed by the U.S. Small Business Administration.
Over that same period, big bank balance sheets expanded by over 17% to US$12 trillion after the Fed flooded the financial system with cash in the hopes that firms would keep credit flowing to the U.S. economy.
Instead, banks have kept large chunks of the Fed injections as cash, and used much of the rest to purchase securities guaranteed by the federal government – at least they're not using the money to pay out bonuses (they are, but it's not from this pool).
The big banks are proving yet again that if the Fed expects them to be lending, as they had anticipated they would do in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, they appear to be disinterested in fulfilling those duties.
Despite robust profits at the banks, they continue to retrench staff and make it more difficult for businesses and households to obtain reasonably priced credit.
Whilst large, listed firms have the luxury of heading into the bond markets to raise capital, regular loans at big banks accounted for less than half of their balance sheets and fallen to fresh lows no fewer than 21 times since last May.
It could well be that the business model of banks has changed.
With large, listed companies finding it easier to raise funds in the public bond markets, given the near-zero interest rate environment, banks may be shifting the focus away from lending to hoarding.
And you can take that to the bank with you.

Q: what is FOREIGN KEY is for? let's say i have 2 tables:
Department(depNum)
Worker(id,deptNum) - key should be id

now i want dept to reference an existing value in Department.
so i write in create table:
CREATE TABLE Worker(
id integer primary key,
dept integer references Department);

my question is, i've seen in many examples that you also put foreign key with the references statement. i don't understand what is primary key for.
does it mean that dept will be also a key on Worker?
thank you

A: From Wikipedia:

A primary key is a combination of columns which uniquely specify a
  row. It is a special case of unique keys. . . . Primary keys were
  added to the SQL standard mainly as a convenience to the application
  programmer.

You cannot reference a record in a table without a primary key. A foreign key lets you reference a record in another table within an individual record. This foreign key is usually referencing the primary key in the foreign table.

A: *

*This post has a lot of great information. In particular, check out the highest ranked answer for a bullet list of do's and do not's.

What's wrong with foreign keys?

*

*This post gives a pretty decent explanation, given the poster's
original example:
What will these foreign keys do?

A: Let's say that each worker can only work in one department at any one time.
So each department has its own unique ID. This is the department's primary key because two departments should never have the same id.
Now, each individual worker must be tracked so they are also assigned their own unique ID. This is their primary key. You need to link the worker to the department that they work in and since they can only work in one department at a time, you can have their department as a foreign key. The foreign key in the worker table is linked to the ID of the department table.
This has more information: http://www.1keydata.com/sql/sql-foreign-key.html

A: You have two tables:
PLAYER,
primary key (unique) PK_player_id
player_name
foreignt key to TEAM.team_id FK_team_id

TEAM
primary key (unique) PK_team_id
team_name

Every PLAYER is in exact one TEAM.
The PLAYER has a FOREIGN-KEY to the TEAM (FK_team_id). Also you can delete the TEAM, which will delete all player in it cascading (if configured).
Now you can't create a player without an existing TEAM, because the database ensures this.
EDIT:
Didn't you ask for the foreign key?
The primary key is one or more than one column, which will identify on datarow within your database. If jou want to create a foreign key, you have to use a column or more than one column) which is unique.
In my example, there is a unique key (the primary key) for every table, because the name may change. To identify the 'target' of the foreign key, it has to be unique. so it is liklye to use the prmary key of the second table. (TEAM.PK_team_id)

A: I am not clear, the requirement should be
Department(dept)
Worker(id,dept) - key should be id
which means dept is the primary key in Department and foreign key in worker.
the foreign key is not unique in worker table but it is unique in Department Table.
The worker table cannot have some unknown department which is not defined in the Department.
Did I make sense ?

A: To ensure the integrity of the tables, not allowing you to enter values in the table (Worker) without referencing an existing row (at Department)

A: According to the SQL-92 Standard:
A foreign key (FK) may reference either a PRIMARY KEY or a UNIQUE CONSTRAINT. In the case of a PRIMARY KEY, the referenced columns may be omitted from the foreign key declaration e.g. the following three are all valid:
CREATE TABLE Department ( Department INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, ...);
CREATE TABLE Worker (dept INTEGER REFERENCES Department, ...);

CREATE TABLE Department ( Department INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, ...);
CREATE TABLE Worker (dept INTEGER REFERENCES Department (dept), ...);

CREATE TABLE Department ( Department INTEGER NOT NULL UNIQUE, ...);
CREATE TABLE Worker (dept INTEGER REFERENCES Department (dept), ...);

The following is not valid:
CREATE TABLE Department ( Department INTEGER NOT NULL UNIQUE, ...);
CREATE TABLE Worker (dept INTEGER REFERENCES Department, ...);

...because the referenced columns involved in the foreign key must be declared.

When declaring a simple (single-column) FK in-line the FOREIGN KEY keywords are omitted as above.
A composite (multiple-column) cannot be declared in-line and a simple FK need not be declared in-line: in these cases, the referencing column(s) AND the FOREIGN KEY keywords are required (the rules for the referenced columns remain the same as stated earlier) e.g. here are just a few examples:
CREATE TABLE Department ( Department INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, ...);
CREATE TABLE Worker (dept INTEGER, FOREIGN KEY (dept) REFERENCES Department, ...);

CREATE TABLE Department ( Department INTEGER NOT NULL UNIQUE, ...);
CREATE TABLE Worker (dept INTEGER, FOREIGN KEY (dept) REFERENCES Department (dept), ...);

CREATE TABLE DepartmentHistory
(
 dept INTEGER NOT NULL,
 dt DATE NOT NULL,
 PRIMARY KEY (dt, dept),
 ...
);
CREATE TABLE Worker
(
 dept INTEGER NOT NULL,
 dept_dt DATE NOT NULL,
 FOREIGN KEY (dept_dt, dept) REFERENCES DepartmentHistory,
 ...
);

President Tyler is burned in effigy outside White House
President John Tyler vetoes a second attempt by Congress to re-establish the Bank of the United States. In response, angry supporters of the bank gathered outside the White House and burned an effigy of Tyler. The protestors were comprised primarily of members of Tyler's own political party, the Whigs, who dominated Congress at the time.
READ MORE: Why John Tyler May Be the Most Reviled US President Ever
The first federal U.S. Bank, created by Alexander Hamilton and set into place by George Washington in 1791, provided a repository for federal funds and issued currency. However, beginning with President Thomas Jefferson, who opposed the idea of a national bank as "unconstitutional," anti-Federalists in Congress chipped away at the bank's power and importance. In 1811, President James Madison and Congress let the bank's charter expire. Although a second Bank of the United States was implemented in 1819 during James Monroe's presidency, successive attempts by different Congresses to re-charter the second bank were denied by Presidents Andrew Jackson, in 1832, and Martin Van Buren, in 1837. Tyler, as a senator during Jackson's tenure, had originally condemned Jackson's attempts to nullify the bank as an "abuse of executive power." However, as president in 1841, President Tyler, faced with a U.S. economy plagued by wildly fluctuating currency valuation and bank fraud, made an about-face and "betrayed" the Whigs, declaring the U.S. bank a threat to individual states' rights. When word of the veto spread, the bank's Congressional supporters flew into a collective rage and stormed out of the Capitol toward the White House.
The rioters hurled stones at the White House, shot guns into the air and hung an effigy of the president that they then set on fire. The protest is considered one of, if not the most violent demonstration held near the White House. As a result of the unrest, the District of Columbia decided to create its own police force.

On behalf of Platt Hopwood Russell & Cole PLLC posted in Criminal Defense on Tuesday, August 11, 2015.
While sending young offenders to juvenile hall might not be the best choice for rehabilitation, some alternatives also have problems that can cause more trouble than they solve. Residents in Florida may be surprised to know that the number of teens incarcerated in juvenile detention centers has dropped by half in the past 16 years. More young people are being put on probation, but this has its own set of challenges that can lead to detention.
Probation may last until an individual turns 21 and can come with conditions one has to follow to avoid juvenile detention. The probation requirements a teen must abide by are not always as straightforward as one might expect. Youth might be ordered to go to classes on time, obey parents and guardians and stay within a certain area. This means that subjective requirements can sometimes trip up teens, and many have trouble with electronic monitoring.
One young offender who related his story to Youth Radio talked about how he needed to get out of the house sometimes to walk around. Unfortunately, this led him to trouble. Probation officers must report violations and enforce court orders even if a teen was not causing any harm while leaving a designated area. While probation is meant to prevent future problems, many young people who were previously considered low-risk become much more likely to be involved with the adult criminal justice system.
Keeping young people out of the criminal justice system might be crucial to ensuring that they do not face charges as an adult. For this reason, one may want to consult with an attorney when a juvenile is charged with or suspected of a crime. Even a misdemeanor conviction could result in long-term consequences. An attorney might be able to negotiate with a prosecutor or mount a defense against any charges.

You Won't Believe what The Gedolim said about Tzedakah Organizations
Approaching Rosh HaShanah, we are all solicited by many organizations. Some are extremely worthy, others are less worthy. Some support those who are poor through no fault of their own, others support those who are poor because they are ideologically opposed to work. Some offer a feeling of satisfaction for having done a good deed, others manipulate people into giving with (false) promises of good things that will happen to those who donate.
But what about the actual finances of an organization? How is one to know which organizations are using their monies ethically?
I was dumbfounded to read an email solicitation from the Vaad HaRabbanim of Lakewood/ Bnei Brak, with endorsements from Rav Gershon Edelstein and numerous other top names in the charedi Litvish and Chassidishe world, which bore the following title:
"Gedolim Say This Is One Of The Only Tzedaka Organizations You Can Trust"
Now, I have no idea if the rabbanim who lent their signatures really said that which is attributed to them. But the mere fact that a major organization would make a declaration in the name of the Gedolim that most tzedakah organizations cannot be trusted is shocking. Are they just out to trash other organizations? Or is this really how things are in the world of charitable organizations with which they are familiar?
Perhaps it is indeed how things are in their circles. As you may recall, I discovered last year that some money which was removed from my bank account by a charity without my consent apparently went towards helping Yanky Kanievsky buy his luxury home. Ironically, this sort of thing happens precisely because these charities use the names of Gedolim to solicit funds.
Reading through the names of the Gedolim who allegedly made this claim and endorse this appeal, I was surprised to see the name of Rav Chaim Kanievsky's son, Rav Yitzchak Shaul Kanievsky. This is the same person who was taken to Beis Din by his own brothers for manipulating their father into secretly signing over his entire estate, worth many millions of dollars, to him alone. This is a person who is called upon to attest to the integrity of the Vaad HaRabbanim? And let's not forget that his brothers confirmed (as is obvious) that Gedolim's endorsements don't actually count for anything!
The endorsement also claims that because all donations go fully and directly to the needy, this is the best form of tzedakah. But the experts in charity that I know strongly dispute that assertion. Overhead is not wasted money - not only do you need good (i.e. paid) people to raise money effectively, but you also need to use donations effectively. You don't help people leave poverty by just giving them money. You need to assess their situation (my wife used to work as a social worker in that capacity), figure out why they are poor, and give them the tools to be able to get themselves out of that situation. Assuming, that is, that you believe that poverty is not a preferred way of life.
Meanwhile, the Vaad HaRabbanim also declares that "all those who generously donate $520 towards this campaign will receive a pure silver Challah knife just in time for Rosh Hashona, a well-known segulah for parnossah for the upcoming year, with the Bracha of Maran Harav Chaim Kanievsky ztz"l engraved upon it– A physical symbol of the timeless agreement between you and the late Gadol Hador z''l." Now, without getting into the argument of whether a silver segulah knife really does have an effect on parnasah, I would like to point out that I don't believe that the people working at Vaad HaRabbanim themselves really think that it does - because you can bet your bottom dollar that they are giving poor people food and/or money, not silver segulah knives! So since they themselves don't believe that silver segulah knives have any meaningful effect, why are they using them to manipulate people into giving them money? Of course, I have no doubt that it's a highly effective fundraising tool, but I personally dislike supporting fundraising that reinforces superstition.
I prefer to donate to my local charity of Lemaan Achai. Primarily, this is because it is a charity that actually works to get people out of poverty, rather than perpetuating the exponentially-growing problem of charedi poverty by giving handouts. But in addition, I trust it, because it doesn't manipulate people with false or superstitious shtick, and it's professionally operated and overseen by people that I know personally. You can donate online at https://www.lemaanachai.org/en/donation.php
(Alternately/ in addition, if you'd like to support the Biblical Museum of Natural History, which inspires and educates tens of thousands of people annually about Torah and nature, you can do so at https://www.biblicalnaturalhistory.org/donate)

Have you ever thought about doing YOGA?
Has your Doctor told you to try Yoga because of the health benefits or because of an injury? Maybe you would like more flexibility or you have been a Yoga Practitioner for years and your interested in working deeper into your Yoga Practice through YOGA PHILOSOPHY. Are you working toward a goal such as Handstand, Backbending, Arm Balances or other ADVANCED POSTURES.
With a simple screen in a Private Session we can work together to get you to your GOALS.
Sheila started practicing Yoga in 2006 at her local gym and fell in love with the science of it all. It made sense!! She knew right away that she wanted to learn as much as she could about everything Yoga. In 2013 She walked into her first Yoga Studio JANE'S HOUSE OF WELLBEING and hasn't been the same since.
Yoga and Photography have brought balance into her life and opened her eyes to the world around her as well as within her. In 2014 Sheila received her 200hr RYT Yoga Certification through Robin Buck of JANE'S HOUSE WELLBEING and jumped into teaching. Sheila loved teaching so much that in 2016 she completed her additional 300 hrs of training through Matt and Holly Krepps of CIRCLE YOGA SHALA.
She is continually a student and open to learning more about herself as well as her craft.
If you are interested in a private class or in taking classes with Sheila, send her an Email: info@sheilamdugopolskiphotography.com. She would love to hear your ideas or you can check out YOGA HIKES STL for events from Spring till Fall. She is currently not teaching any normal regular classes. But she is available for Private Sessions and frequently subs classes at Dudas Fitness and Golds Gym's in the St Louis and surrounding areas.
The word Yoga in Sanskrit means: UNION of the Individual Soul, with the Universal Spirit.
What Yoga means to me isn't only about the Postures (Asana) though many people think of Yoga as Physical Exercise. Posture Practice is actually the most superficial part of this ancient spiritual science of opening up our minds full potential. Now if you would have told me that when I started my practice, I would have argued with you. If that is what your practice looks like there is NOTHING wrong with that. Yoga can be an AMAZING workout! But it is also a work in. So often through life we are accustomed to looking outside of ourselves to find full fulfillment. We live in a society where what we acquire can give us what we want. More often then not we find ourselves working toward things that are just beyond our reach. We are caught up in doing rather then being, In action rather then awareness. It is hard for us to picture a state of complete calmness. Yet through internal calm we are able to touch a level of joy and understanding we normally would not be able to reach.
The ancient science of Yoga offers a direct means of stilling our thoughts and restlessness of our bodies to prevent us from seeing who and what we really are. Yoga is a simple process of reversing the ordinary flow of outward energy, so that the mind is no longer dependent on false senses of happiness but is capable of actually experiencing what is REAL.
Asana (Stillness), Pranayama (Air),Bandha (Fire), Vinyasa (Water), and Drishti (Uncommon Presence).
YOGA PHILOSOPHY In Patanjali's Yoga Sutra, the eightfold path is called ashtanga, which literally means in sanskrit "eight limbs" (ashta=eight, anga=limb). These eight steps basically act as guidelines on how to live a meaningful and purposeful life. They serve as a prescription for moral and ethical conduct and self-discipline; they direct attention toward one's health; and they help us to acknowledge the spiritual aspects of our nature.
The YAMA'S and NIYAMA'S are the beginning of realization.
The YAMA'S are our awakening to the world around us. It is an understanding that our actions may cause harm and that the things of the world are not ours for the taking.
PRANAYAMA is control of Breath". "Prana" is Breath or vital energy in the body. On subtle levels prana represents the pranic energy responsible for life or life force, and "ayama" means control. So Pranayama is "Control of Breath"PRATYAHARA Is gaining mastery of external influences. It is compared to a turtle withdrawing its limbs into its shell — the turtle's shell is the mind and the senses are the limbs. "Control of the Senses".

"I have been with Sheila for over 2 years now and she is the most amazing yoga instructor and the most beautiful person I know. When she teaches she gets to know each students limitations and needs. She teaches with genuine concern and even in a class, gives individualized attention to the needs and restrictions of each student, throughout the class. She gives so many modifications from beginning to advanced to restricted no one ever feels left out or they don't belong in her class. She has such a way of relaxing people and putting them at ease you feel like you can do anything with her. If she sees you doing something incorrectly or maybe you shouldn't do due to limitations, she will gently, quietly, guide you in the right direction.
I had been through several yogi's and different types of yoga classes, over 2 years, on the advice of my physical therapist and had all but given up when I found Sheila. Despite my numerous restrictions and what I thought were limitations, Sheila actually went out of her way and did research to the best way to teach me. No one else did, as a matter of fact I'd tell other yogi's of my issues and they gave little if any modifications and in one case I found myself hurt after a few classes.
As a result of training with Sheila, I have far surpassed my own expectations and continue to push myself, within reason, and have gotten down to the weight I wanted and have a better body than I did when I was a teenager...I'm 43."

Home News In English US air strike in Somalia 'kills 2 Al-Shabaab militants'
At the request of the Federal Government of Somalia and in support of Somali National Army engagements against al-Shabaab, U.S. Africa Command conducted a collective self-defense strike on Jan. 23, 2023.
The strike occurred in a remote area near Xaradheere, Somalia, approximately 396 km northeast of Mogadishu where Somali forces were conducting operations.
The initial assessment is the strike killed two al-Shabaab terrorists.
Given the remote location of the operation, the initial assessment is that no civilians were injured or killed.
The U.S. is one of several countries providing support to the Federal Government of Somalia in its ongoing campaign to disrupt, degrade and defeat terrorist groups. Rooting out extremism ultimately requires intervention beyond traditional military means, leveraging U.S. and partner efforts to support effective governance, promote stabilization and economic development, and resolve ongoing conflicts
U.S. Africa Command is the defense arm of the U.S. whole-of-government approach with African partners — diplomacy, development and defense. This three-pronged, or "3D" approach aims to increase cooperation and support for "partner-led, U.S.-enabled" solutions to shared security challenges, including violent extremism or terrorism. All kinetic operations conducted and supported by U.S. Africa Command are done in coordination with the Federal Government of Somalia.
Somalia remains central to stability and security in all of East Africa. U.S. Africa Command's forces will continue training, advising, and equipping partner forces to help give them the tools they need to defeat al-Shabaab, the largest and most deadly al-Qaeda network in the world.
U.S. Africa Command will continue to assess the results of this operation and will provide additional information as appropriate. Specific details about the units involved and assets used will not be released in order to ensure operations security.
The Federal Government of Somalia and U.S. Africa Command take great measures to prevent civilian casualties. Protecting civilians remains a vital part of the command's operations to promote greater security for all Africans.

After Decades as Partners, Two Loudoun Non-Profits Seal a Long-Term Lease
The Trustees of the Westmoreland Davis Memorial Foundation, which oversees Morven Park, recently approved a new long-term lease for fellow non-profit Loudoun Therapeutic Riding to remain at Morven Park for up to 90 more years. The lease also permits the organization to build desperately needed new facilities to serve its waiting list of people hoping to benefit from its services.
The lease provides Loudoun Therapeutic Riding (LTR) the use of 15 acres of Morven Park property just off of Route 15 for 30 years, with options to renew for two additional 30-year terms.
The relationship between the two equestrian organizations dates back to 1974 when one of the country's first pilot programs offering equine-assisted therapy for people with disabilities used 4-H horses and ponies to hold its first lessons at Morven Park.
Soon afterward, that small program was incorporated as a non-profit called Loudoun Therapeutic Riding Foundation and moved to a local farm. In 1995, LTR was invited back to Morven. Since then, Morven Park has provided the growing organization with barns, paddocks, and riding arenas, as well as office space, maintenance assistance, and utilities in support of LTR's mission.
As LTR's programs have grown, so too have Morven Park's, placing increased demands on the Park's facilities and challenging the ability of each organization to meet clients' and participants' needs. With this new lease in place, LTR can move forward with plans to build its own dedicated barn, riding arena, and offices, enabling the organization to offer its services seven days a week on a year-round basis.
"This commitment ensures that Loudoun Therapeutic Riding has a home for many years to come, plus has its own dedicated space, allowing it to expand to meet the growing needs of the community," said Morven Park Executive Director Frank Milligan.
"Demand for our services has grown throughout our 41 years serving Loudoun County, so we are thrilled to move forward with this project," said LTR Executive Director Joanne Hart. "We will be able to grow and enhance our existing equine activities, therapies, and education; to practice even more aspects of horsemanship and equine experiential learning; and to meet the needs of more individuals within our community. "
The next step for LTR is to begin engineering work on its new site to prepare for construction of its new facilities. "We hope to break ground sometime in 2016," said Hart.
Steven Jackson, a Morven Park Trustee and chair of its Properties Committee, worked for many months to finalize the lease agreement and was happy to see this long-term commitment come to fruition. "For me personally, strengthening this alliance has been very rewarding because the mission of LTR to serve the community through equestrian activities fits perfectly with the mission of Morven Park."
Now in its 42nd year, Loudoun Therapeutic Riding serves more than 350 participants annually, utilizing 14 horses and ponies. The individuals served (which include children as young as 3, senior citizens, and U.S. military personnel) arrive with a wide variety of diagnoses such as autism, cognitive disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, Down's syndrome, spina bifida, traumatic brain injuries, and amputations.
The chairman of LTR's Board of Trustees, Tony Wininger, is also the parent of a child who participates in LTR programs. "We are so thankful to have a generous partner like the Westmoreland Davis Memorial Foundation," said Wininger, "We look forward to an exciting future at Morven Park and to working to build an incredible facility that will help us make a significant impact in the lives of those we serve."
Both Loudoun Therapeutic Riding and Morven Park are independent non-profit organizations that depend on the support of individuals, corporations, and foundations to fulfill their community-focused missions.

Those of you who have been following my twitter feed will know that I'm a HUGE Shenmue fan. I've been taking part in the #SaveShenmue campaign for a while now. It's my favourite game. Yes, that's right. My favourite game! Even more than Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter or Ayrton Senna's Super Monaco GP II.
I don't have the time to go into why it's so amazing and why I love it so much in this post. I'll try and do that some other time. This post is about trying to encourage you to support Shenmue.
The Shenmue Kickstarter project broke records when it reached $2 million in just over 9 hours! But now it needs a final push to try and get as much money as possible for the budget of the long awaited Shenmue 3 for Yu Suzuki (the genius behind titles such as Virtua Racing, Virtua Fighter, F355 Challenge, Outrun, Space Harrier, Afterburner, Hang-on and others).
At the time of this writing, the project has $5, 192, 549 with 34 hours left to go. The more money they can get, the better the game can be. And we're also trying to break the record for most money raised for a computer game on Kickstarter (currently held by Bloodstained with $5, 545, 992) which will improve its profile and help boost sales when it goes out to release.
Shenmue is more than just another computer game. It's a piece of art.
Here's some info on Shenmue (courtesy of TeamYu.net).
Well, the story is that progress is rubbish. I don't mean terrible. It's virtually non existent!
I had intended to start going to bed early this year. So far, I've gone to bed early two out of 282 nights. That's a success rate of 0.7%! Even if I was to go to bed early for the rest of the year, I'd still only have a success rate of 23%!! Not good!
As for my 5 goals. Here's the current progress.
It was the 1st of May, 1994. I was in the living room watching the San Marino Grand Prix with my friend David. I was 12 and had only just started watching Formula 1 the year before.
I started following Formula 1 about halfway through the 1993 season. It happened almost by accident as I flicked through the channels one afternoon to find the British Grand Prix on my screen. The blazing fast cars, the roaring sound of the engines and the clearly incredible skill required to drive these machines which looked like (and effectively are) upside down fighter jets intrigued me. It was stunning… and I was hooked!
So, it's 2014. Happy New Year everyone!
With regards to the first one, I went to bed early twice during 2013. And one of those nights was because I was sick.
There are many sides to any individual. This website should reflect my many sides.

Dear Editor: I do not want a tax imposed for parking; it's not fair to citizens. City locals aren't the problem, the out-of-town business people are.
Build a new parking garage. The best idea is a garage under the park at Waverley and Homer, like Stanford's underground garage.
Sharleen Fiddaman,
Dear Editor: Kudos to Sen. Bernie Sanders, the only presidential candidate who did not grovel before the mighty AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee) and offered a far more balanced approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Unlike the other candidates who only offered more of the same, Sanders is the only Jewish candidate who experienced living in a Jewish Kibbutz and took aim at right-wing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's polices of illegal occupation and settlement expansion.
He reminded us that "Gaza's unemployment today is 44 percent and poverty rate almost as high." He stressed the need to be successful," that we have to be a friend not only to Israel but also to the Palestinian people. He called for an end to the occupation and blockade of Gaza and was equally critical of Hamas' rocket attacks and Israel's overwhelming response that killed 1,500 civilians, wounded thousands and devastated much of the Gaza's infrastructure.
This is a man who has a well-calibrated moral compass, who speaks his mind but who is not out of his mind like his Republican counterparts. Contrast his message with Hillary Clinton's, who only promises to sink billions more into futile wars and American lives. She has a poor record of hasty decisions for regime changes in Iraq and Libya and offers nothing new to end the festering conflict in Israel. Henry Kissinger's endorsement will come back to haunt her.
Tejinder Uberoi,
Bad strategy
Dear Editor: I am not nor have I ever been a Donald Trump fan. But protesters in Arizona — and looking ahead, maybe before the primary in California, think it's a good idea to protest by blocking public roads?
Chris Christie can tell you that's not a winning political strategy.

Why Fleet is full of the feel-good factor
Natalie French
Chimney Farm Rescue offers homeless dogs a new start
Whether you want to run a (half) marathon, feast for a day or foster a cute pup, Fleet is all about the feel-good factor
Ex-teacher, Kate Cottrell opened zero waste shop Fleet Scoop at the beginning of the year. It sells everything from biodegradable beeswax wraps and bamboo toothbrushes; to locally-roasted coffee.
Customers bring old, clean, containers - glass jars, paper bags, lunchboxes - to fill up with dried food items, such as pasta, rice, dried fruit and 'just enough' spice for the evening meal. Don't miss the chocolate covered raisins and ready-to-cook popcorn for a great snack!
Kate aims to provide items that are chemical-free, vegan, ethically -sourced and sustainable - reducing the impact on our living environment: "I really hope that we can persuade others to make tiny changes so that we can leave our world in a healthy state for future generations."

Make a run for it
The original "pre-London" Half Marathon returns on 15 March 2020, with entries opening the end of September. The Fleet Half Marathon has been around since 1982. To date more than 150,000 runners have finished the race. There is also a junior mini mile for eight to 16 year-olds that starts at 10.45am.
The gently undulating course is fast and traffic-free with more than 150 marshals cheering runners on. It is organised by the Fleet & Crookham Athletic Club and supported by major running brands, and local businesses.

Foster a pup!
Chimney Farm International Dog Rescue helps dogs who have been let down by humans and have had a sad start to their lives - many living in shelters or on the streets. "We are based in and around Fleet and rehome dogs from the UK and overseas," explains rehoming manager and rescue coordinator, Tracey Lambert. The charity is always on the look-out for people who can help - whether it's driving, donating, or people who can give the dogs a temporary home.
Every dog receives extensive publicity on the Chimney Facebook page, which has more than 27,000 followers. Most rescue dogs find a home very quickly, but some shyer dogs take a little longer to adapt to their new lives. Fosterers need to be committed, patient and most of all loving.

"I believe if you have confidence in your image, you can reduce stress, time and money and be comfortable in the knowledge you are looking fabulous!" explains Natasha.
Natasha has partnered with local businesses in Hartley Wintney and Fleet: "It's really important to me to support the local businesses and both towns have some great shops.
"I love my one-to-one work and have great fun with my clients! It's a joy to see how helping them to find their perfect look not only opens doors for them, but makes them more confident and happier. What could be better than that?"

Fleet Food Festival was a huge success in June 2019. The stalls offered everything from biltong, local gin, olive oil and an amazing selection of hot food - including the popular Greek food stall.
"It was wonderful to see so many people making a day out of the event, and even visiting both days to enjoy the great atmosphere, live music, cookery demonstrations, market stalls and entertainment," says Emma Molyneux, chair of the Fleet Business Improvement District who organised the event. "We have had some amazing feedback. One retailer in Fleet told us that people had travelled all the way from Southampton.
"Fleet is blessed with higher than average independent retailers and restaurants, they are working tirelessly against the well-documented, intensifying, pressures on the high street."

Regarding the p-bstr pseudotype, I only have found that it does an automatic conversion, i.e. it creates a BSTR that is passed to the called function, but nothing about what happens with these temporary bstrings. Maybe it will generate code to release them, but I don't know.
When a method returns a string (typically a BSTR one), it asks you to provide a pointer into which it will fill the string. Here no automatic conversion is supported. What you need to do here is pass a pointer to a long variable, which will be filled with the BSTR pointer. Then you can use PeekS() to read the string. Then do not forget SysFreeString() of course.
treats it as a long value, so it doesn't really know if it is a BSTR or not.
But I do - it is a Wstring.
If it was a BSTR then the above would cause an access violation because PeekS, defaulting to reading unicode, would attempt to read a BSTR.
However, I now take your point about a memory leak.
If I changed back to 'Export as String', instead of 'Export as Wstring', then this works.
The BSTR is now being read as Ascii and is then freed.
The BSTR is read correctly and then converted to unicode.
