72 Matching on Bipartite Graphs with Applications to School Course Registration Systems
Authors: Zhihan Li
Nowadays, most universities use the course enrollment system considering students' registration orders. However, the students' preference level to certain courses is also one important factor to consider. In this research, the possibility of applying a preference-first system has been discussed and analyzed compared to the order-first system. A bipartite graph is applied to resemble the relationship between students and courses they tend to register. With the graph set up, we apply Ford-Fulkerson (F.F.) Algorithm to maximize parings between two sets of nodes, in our case, students and courses. Two models are proposed in this paper: the one considered students' order first, and the one considered students' preference first. By comparing and contrasting the two models, we highlight the usability of models which potentially leads to better designs for school course registration systems.

71 Implementation of Renewable Energy Technologies in Rural Africa
Authors: Joseph Levodo, Andy Ford, ISSA Chaer
Africa enjoys some of the best solar radiation levels in the world averaging between 4-6 kWh/m2/day for most of the year and the global economic and political conditions that tend to make African countries more dependent on their own energy resources have caused growing interest in wanting renewable energy based technologies. However to-date, implementation of Modern Energy Technologies in Africa is still very low especially the use of solar conversion technologies. It was initially speculated that the low uptake of solar technology in Africa was associated with the continent's high poverty levels and limitations in technical capacity as well as awareness. Nonetheless, this is not an academic based speculation and the exact reasons for this low trend in technology adoption are unclear and require further investigation. This paper presents literature review and analysis relating to the techno-economic feasibility of solar photovoltaic power generation in Africa. The literature review would include the following four main categories: design methods, techno-economic feasibility of solar photovoltaic power generation, performance evaluations of various systems, Then it looks at the role of policy and potential future of technological development of photovoltaic (PV) by exploring the impact of alternative policy instruments and technology cost reductions on the financial viability of investing solar photovoltaic (PV) in Africa.

55 Analysis of the Feasibility of Using a Solar Spiral Type Water Heater for Swimming Pool Application in Physiotherapy and Sports Centers
A heated pool makes it possible to use it during all hours of the day and in the seasons, especially in physiotherapies and sports centers. However, the cost of installation, operation and maintenance often makes it difficult to deploy. In addition, the current global policy for the use of natural resources from energy sources contradicts the most common means of heating swimming pools, such as the use of gas (Natural Gas and Liquefied Petroleum Gas), the use of firewood or oil and the use of electricity (heat pumps and electrical resistances). In this sense, this work focuses on the use of solar water heaters to be used in swimming pools of physiotherapy centers, in order to analyze their viability for this purpose in view of the costs linked to the medium and/or long term heating. For this, materials of low cost, low weight, easy commercial acquisition were used besides easy manufacture.

54 Enhancement of Dissolved Oxygen Concentration during the Electrocoagulation Process Using an Innovative Flow Column: Electrocoagulation Reactor
Authors: Khalid S. Hashim, Andy Shaw, Rafid Alkhaddar
Dissolved oxygen (DO) plays a key role in the electrocoagulation process (EC) as it oxidizes the heavy metals, ammonia, and cyanide into other forms that can be removed easily from water. Hence, many of the previous investigations used external aerators to provide the required DO inside EC reactors, especially when the water being treated had a low DO (such as leachate and high organic content waters), or when the DO depleted during the EC treatment. Although the external aeration process effectively enhances the DO concentration, it has a significant impact on energy consumption. Thus, the present project aims to fill a part of this gap in the literature by an innovative use of perforated flow columns in the design of an EC reactor (ECR1). In order to investigate the performance of ECR1, water samples with a controlled DO concentration were pumped at different flow rates (110, 220, and 440 ml/min) to the ECR1 for 10 min. The obtained results demonstrated that the ECR1 increased the DO concentration from 5.0 to 9.54, 10.53, and 11.0 mg/L, which is equivalent to 90.8%, 110.6%, and 120% at flow rates of 110, 220, and 440 mL/min respectively.

52 Food Waste Management in the Restaurant Industry
Authors: Vijayakumar Karunamoothei, Stephen Wylie, Andy Shaw, Al Shamma'A Ahmed
The main aim of this research is to investigate, analyse and provide solutions for the reduction of food waste in the restaurant industry. The amount of food waste that is sent to landfill by UK restaurants and food chains is considerably high, and also acts as an additional cost to the restaurants, as well as being a significant environmental issue. Food waste, for the most part, is disposed in landfill, but due to rising costs associated with waste disposal, it increases public concerns about the environmental issue. This makes conversion of food waste to energy an economic solution. The relevant properties, such as water content and calorific value, will vary considerably, depending on the particular type of food. This work, therefore, includes the collection and analysis of real data from restaurants on weekly basis. It will also investigate how the waste destined for landfill can be instead reused to produce fuels such as syngas or ethanol, or alternatively as fertilizer. The potential for syngas production will be tested using a microwave plasma reactor.

51 Multiresolution Mesh Blending for Surface Detail Reconstruction
Authors: Honorio Salmeron Valdivieso, Andy Keane, David Toal
In the area of mechanical reverse engineering, processes often encounter difficulties capturing small, highly localized surface information. This could be the case if a physical turbine was 3D scanned for lifecycle management or robust design purposes, with interest on eroded areas or scratched coating. The limitation partly is due to insufficient automated frameworks for handling -localized - surface information during the reverse engineering pipeline. We have developed a tool for blending surface patches with arbitrary irregularities into a base body (e.g. a CAD solid). The approach aims to transfer small surface features while preserving their shape and relative placement by using a multi-resolution scheme and rigid deformations. Automating this process enables the inclusion of outsourced surface information in CAD models, including samples prepared in mesh handling software, or raw scan information discarded in the early stages of reverse engineering reconstruction.

47 Using Photo-Elicitation to Explore the Cosmology of Personal Training
Authors: John Gray, Andy Smith, Hazel James
With the introduction of projects such as GP referral and other medical exercise schemes, there has been a shift in the cosmology underpinning exercise leadership. That is, the knowledge base of exercise leaders, specifically personal trainers, has moved from a cosmology based on aesthetic and physical fitness demands to one requiring interaction with the dominant biomedical model underpinning contemporary medicine. In line with this shift research has demonstrated that personal trainer education has aligned itself to a biotechnological model. However, whilst there is a need to examine exercise as medicine, and consider the role of personal trainers as prescribers of these interventions, the possible issues surrounding the growing medicalization of the exercise cosmology have not been explored. Using a phenomenological methodology, and the novel approach of photo-elicitation, this research examined the practices of successful personal trainers. The findings highlight that a growing focus on an iatro-biological based scientific process of exercise prescription may prove problematical. Through the development of a model of practitioner-based knowledge, it is argued there is a possible growing disconnection between the theoretical basis of exercise science and the working cosmology of exercise practitioners.

46 Effect of Electrodes Spacing on Energy Consumption of Electrocoagulation Cells
Authors: Khalid S. Hashim, Andy Shaw, Rafid Al-Khaddar, Montserrat Ortoneda Pedrola
In spite of the acknowledged advantages of the electrocoagulation (EC) method to remove a wide range of pollutants from waters and wastewaters, its efficiency is limited by several operational parameters (such as electrolysis time, current density, electrode material, distance between electrodes, and water temperature). Hence, optimizing these key operating parameters is considered a vital step to remove a pollutant efficiently. In this context, the present study has been carried out to explore the influence of electrodes spacing on energy consumption, temperature of the water being treated, and iron removal from water. To achieve this target, iron containing synthetic water samples were electrolysed for 20 min, using a new flow column electrocoagulation reactor (FCER), at three different gaps between electrodes (5, 10, and 20 mm). These batch experiments were commenced at a constant current density of 1.5 mA/cm² and initial pH of 6. The obtained results demonstrated that increasing gap between electrodes negatively influenced the performance of the EC method. It was found that increasing the gap between electrodes from 5 to 20 mm increased the energy consumption from about 3.3 to 7.3 kW.h/m³, and water temperature from 20.2 to 22 °C, respectively. In addition, it has been found, after 20 min of electrolysing, that increasing the gap between electrodes from 5 to 20 mm increased the residual iron concentration from 0.05 to 1.01 mg/L, respectively.

Authors: Haon-Yao Chen, Cheng-Fang Lin, Pui-Kwan Andy Hong, Ping-Yi Yang, Kok Kwang Ng, Sheng-Fu Yang
Simultaneous nitrification and denitrification (SND) are a natural phenomenon in the soil environment that can be applied in wastewater treatment. At a domestic wastewater treatment plant, we performed a pilot test of installing bioplates with entrapped biomass into a conventional aeration basin for SND, and investigated the effects of bioplate packing ratio, hydraulic retention time, dissolved oxygen level, on/off aeration mode, and supplemental carbon and alkalinity on nitrogen removal. With the pilot aeration basin of 1.3 m3 loaded with mixed liquor suspended solids of 1500-2500 mg/L and bioplates at PR of 3.2% (3.2% basin volume) operated at HRT of 6 h and DO of 4-6 mg/L without supplemental carbon or alkalinity, nitrogen in the wastewater was removed to an effluent total nitrogen (TN) of 7.3 mg/L from an influent TN of 28 mg/L. The bioplate robust cellulose triacetate structure carrying the biomass shows promise in retrofitting conventional aeration basins for enhanced nutrient removal.

Quest Academy in Palatine announced Thursday that Khalek Kirkland, who currently heads the SEED School in Baltimore, will take over as the academy's head of school effective July 1.
Kirkland will become the fifth head of school at Quest, an independent school that attracts gifted students from more than 25 Chicago suburbs. He will succeed Benjamin Hebebrand, who last fall announced plans to move to Wisconsin with his wife, and assume leadership of the Madison Country Day School.
Quest's board of trustees unanimously approved Kirkland's appointment based on the recommendation of a search committee tasked with finding Hebebrand's successor.
"Our nationwide search process sought the best leadership in education today, and we got him," board President Chris Dickerson said in a statement announcing the hire. "Khalek inspired the trustees from our first meeting, with his intelligence, by his passion for teaching and learning, and deep commitment to nurturing the whole child."
Kirkland has served as the head of school for the past five years at the SEED School in Baltimore, a public boarding school that serves at-risk children from across Maryland.
At SEED, Kirkland oversaw school operations, improved the curriculum, introduced new athletic programs, raised more than $5 million in capital and $2.5 million in grants, and established academic and community ties with local institutions, including the Johns Hopkins University, according to Quest.
"I am deeply honored to be joining Quest as its new head of school, and extend my humble gratitude to the search committee and board of trustees for trusting me with the responsibility to lead," Kirkland said in Quest's announcement. "During the search process, everyone I met shared a genuine passion and infectious enthusiasm for the school, in large part thanks to Ben Hebebrand. My goal is to build on that, as we chart the school's dynamic future together as a community."
Before taking the reins at SEED, Kirkland served as Senior Director of Leadership for the NYC Board of Education, and principal of the Ronald Edmonds Learning Center in Brooklyn.
He earned doctorate and master's degrees from Fordham University, a master's degree in mathematics education from New York University, and his bachelor's degree in political science from Morehouse College.
"Dr. Kirkland's educational vision is a perfect fit for Quest Academy and its students," Hebebrand said.

Q: desc table in SQL Server? I want to see the definition of a table in SQL Server.
Running this query from SQLPro for MSSQL is OK
SELECT TOP 100 * FROM dbo.[ATRESMEDIA Resource Time Registr_];

but when I run this one
exec sp_columns dbo.[ATRESMEDIA Resource Time Registr_];

I got this error:
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1.
Incorrect syntax near '.'. (Line 3)

A: dont use schema dbo.
exec sp_columns [ATRESMEDIA Resource Time Registr_];

why? because, following are the parameters accepted by sp_columns stored proc:

sp_columns [ @table_name = ] object
             [ , [ @table_owner = ] owner ]
             [ , [ @table_qualifier = ] qualifier ]

update:
Martin's explanation as in comment:
Strings in SQL Server are delimited by single quotes - as a parameter to a stored proc in very limited circumstances it will allow you to skip the quotes but the dot breaks that. exec sp_columns 'dbo.[ATRESMEDIA Resource Time Registr_]'; wouldn't give the syntax error - but that wouldn't be what the proc expects anyway as the schema would need to be the second param

In line with the school's core values, students at Wells Elementary School this winter have been practicing what is known as "paying it forward", selfless, random acts of kindness toward one another in the WES community. To understand that it is often better to give than to receive, students, in class, have been giving gifts of appreciation; simple gifts that they have created including poems, drawings or something from a craft project.
To pay it forward in a wider community sense, WES held an assembly February 10th for several area police officers and firefighters from Wells and Ogunquit. Students and staff wanted to show appreciation to these professionals for the work that they do to keep the communities safe.
Several students spoke to the guests and the officers, including Wells Police Chief Jo-Ann Putnam, took questions from the audience.
Towards the end of the assembly, each guest received a white gift basket filled with items donated by parent volunteers from the classrooms of Melissa Stapleton, Beth Bush, and Amy Sevigny. "We are so fortunate to have such generous parent volunteers," commented Stapleton.

Ohio medical marijuana dispensaries buzzing on first day of sales
Updated Jan 16, 2019; Posted Jan 16, 2019
Ohio medical marijuana dispensaries reported brisk business their first day of sales, but said they didn't run out of product.
By Laura Hancock, cleveland.com
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Three of Ohio four medical marijuana dispensaries reported ending Wednesday, the first day of legal sales, with product remaining on the shelves.
Store representatives said the lines were long, but people for the most part were happy to wait for medicine they hoped would help them. Some customers complained about prices, which will likely go down in coming months as more supply comes to the market.
"I was thanking them as they were leaving, and thanking them for being patient for the lines," said Michael Petrella, owner of Ohio Valley Natural Relief in Wintersville, near Steubenville. "And they said, 'No, thank you. We appreciate you bringing this to the Ohio Valley.'"
Ohio Valley Natural Relief was the only dispensary not to put a limit on how much people could purchase. The other three dispensaries have limits ranging from 0.1 of an ounce to 2 ounces.
How will Ohio's 4 new medical marijuana dispensaries manage high demand?
Lines will be long and dispensaries will put limits on how many ounces people can buy in the beginning to make sure there is enough supply for everyone.
Despite the lack of sales limits at Ohio Valley Natural Relief, no one maxed out an entire 90-day purchase.
The four dispensaries in Ohio – two in Wintersville, one in Canton and one in Sandusky – were selling their product for around $40 to $60 for a whole day unit of marijuana, a tenth of an ounce under state law, making an entire 90-day supply pricey.
At Cresco Lab's CY+ Dispensary in Wintersville, the first day of sales was expected to end with about 130 patients, said Jason Erkes, a spokesman.
"We still have product left," he said. "When I left we were getting another delivery in tonight. I don't think we'll have any product shortages."
Brandon Lynaugh of The Forest Sandusky in Sandusky said the first customer was in line at 4 a.m.
"We pretty much had a line of 30 to 40 people at any given time throughout the morning," he said.
The store will evaluate whether customers must be limited to 1 ounce of product each day in the beginning days of business, Lynaugh said, adding that he anticipated the limit will soon be lifted.
The Botanist in Canton didn't return a message at the end of the business day Wednesday about its business.
Online and on Twitter, some complained about the prices being too high, which would make it difficult to obtain medicine.
"Just to let everyone know. I was told its gonna be like $60 for one day supply…" one person wrote on a cannabis website. "That's right $60 for 2.5 g. Thats insane. I say everyone ban (sic) together and dont pay these crazy prices. Make them lower prices. Yes, it will suck (continuing) to do the Mich. Drive."
Lynaugh of the Forest Sandusky said that the Forest's parent company, Standard Wellness, has a cultivation facility about 40 minutes away in Sandusky County and the first harvest is tentatively scheduled by the end of February. The company also received a provisional processor license to extract THC from marijuana and use it in edibles, oils, lotions and other products. It hopes it can get a certificate of operation from the state later in the year.
Lynaugh said the advantage of controlling different portions of the medical marijuana business is that it'll keep costs down.
"Since we're vertically integrated and can control all the elements of the supply chain, the plan is to be competitive on the price," he said. "There's an acknowledgement on day 1 prices might be higher than people expected. But we had a line out the door all day long."
He said that in other states, medical marijuana has cost more in the beginning but went down as time went on.
People may also be disappointed because regulated, legal medical marijuana is often more expensive than product purchased off the street. But Lynaugh noted that legal marijuana is guaranteed to be pure and the amount of pesticides are regulated by the state.
"We did have a couple patients wondering about the pricing, asking if it was going to change," said Petrella of Ohio Valley Natural Relief. "As more cultivators enter the market, the prices will change. As the patient population goes up the price will start to go down as well."

Rat-Tail spoon. This relates to how the cope with was attached to the dish and describes a long narrowing join from the handle onto the back of the bowl. Simply because the stem widened the Trefid became popular on the end on the handle, this describing a finish having three lobes. Early on examples have th time frame letter struck high on the handle. The rat-tail gone away around 1725 but some later on examples were produced. Spoons with die struck sujet also tend to be early spoons and the handle type offers a better indication of the period in which it was produced, slender hexagonal stems being earlier than puritan stems. Teaspoons have been completely produced from around 1670 and early ones are seldom fully marked, only obtaining the makers mark and the big cat passant. You may be very grateful and find one with a twisted handle but these are quite uncommon. Picture back teaspoons became popular in the 18th century, the style being stamped on the external of the bowl.

Tire Rack Street Survival – It's more than driving, it's about living!
The primary emphasis of the Tire Rack Street Survival® is a "hands-on" driving experience in real-world situations! We use your own car to teach you about its handling limits and how you can control them. The students will become more observant of the traffic situation they find themselves in. They will learn to look far enough ahead to anticipate unwise actions of other drivers. As the students master the application of physics to drive their cars, they will make fewer unwise driving actions themselves. They will understand why they should always wear their own seatbelts, and why they should insist that their passengers wear seat belts, too.
Requirements: Licensed or permitted drivers, ages 16 to 21 are allowed in the program.
Note: High profile vehicles owners (i.e SUV's, Trucks, Vans etc…) need to review the FAQ section on these vehicles participating in the program.
The day is a mixture of classroom and in-car exercises. They spend a total of about two hours in three different classroom sessions. The rest of the time is spent in their car with a coach. When driving, the student is put through a collection of exercises based on real-world scenarios while driving their own car. They work on skid control on a wet skid pad; go through a lane change/accident avoidance maneuvers; perform threshold breaking/ABS exercises, and drive a slalom course to learn about weight transfer. Where possible, we do a two wheels off exercise and a tailgating exercise. In the classroom, they learn about proper seating position and hand positions, mirror placement, the concept of the contact patch of their tires, the theories of weight transfer, the use of long-distance vision, and situational awareness. We talk about the challenges of distractions to the driver, be it the radio, iPods, phones for talking or texting or just the simple cause of too many teens in the car. Where possible we stage a semi truck on site and park cars around it to simulate highway driving. We then have each student and all adults get into the cab and close the door to show how little the driver can see and how many of the cars are not visible to the driver. We also may explode an airbag to reinforce what they learn in class about hand placement on the steering wheel.
Students completing their registration after a class if full are automatically placed on the waitlist. This does not cost you anything. We typically have a few cancellations for each school. If there are no openings before the school, we will email you the next time a school opens for registration within 150 miles of your zip code.
Please DO NOT call asking if there spots available. Due to the phone call volume, we receive we will not be able to return your call.
What are the requirements for "permitted students"?
Permitted drivers will be allowed in the Tire Rack Street Survival program IF all of the following conditions can be met. The driver must be a minimum of 15 years old (or the minimum age for the state issuing the permit). We also require that they have driven at least 25 hours before coming to the class.
We would like them to have had a permit for a minimum of ½ the time required by the state holding jurisdiction over that permit, (not the state that the school is located in) i.e. if the permit must be held for 6 months before the driver can take their driving test, then the student must have had the permit a minimum of 3 months.
Please note that we must carry an event liability insurance policy like any other activity open to the public. The responsibility for the liability insurance for the individual program falls on our host organizations to obtain. If the event is hosted by a Region (Chapter) of the Porsche Club of America, they have a national requirement that all students must have a full driver's licenses and be 16 years old. The PCA is the only one of 6 host organizations that participate in our program with this requirement.
If your student has a permit and not a full driver licenses we are sorry but they cannot participate at a PCA hosted event. You will see the name of the host on the schedule page and another notice on the 1st page of the registration.
All TRSS coaches are experienced volunteers having instructed at driver education schools ranging from car control to winter driving to high-performance driving. They are a mix of teachers and enthusiasts that have been exposed to all levels of car control techniques. While they continue to enjoy various disciplines of auto racing, rallying, and competitive autocrossing, they also possess a unique ability to communicate all of their experience in a manner that gets through to teens. Whether it's their commitment to safety or their enthusiasm for driving, it adds up to a truly unique, hands-on day of learning for your young driver.
Does Tire Rack Street Survival school provide vehicles?
While we cannot require that you come to the class, we strongly suggest that you do. We encourage you to sit in the classroom sessions and listen to those presentations. Even though you have been driving for many years, we feel that there are things that you might learn from experiencing these with your new driver. We also feel that the importance of driving education and seriousness of this issue is reinforced when your new driver sees you taking an active interest in what they are doing.
Please look up the HCG vehicle's safety ratings at www.Edmunds.com. Input the vehicle and year and look at the safety rating in the upper right corner of the web page. This review is for HCG vehicles only. Passenger cars do not need to be reviewed. Any vehicle with a listing of 3 stars or more out of 5 in the ROLL OVER test will be allowed to participate in our class. We are concerned about the Roll Over test on the HCG ONLY. We are not concerned about the crash test ratings. Any HCG vehicle listed as "not tested" in the Roll Over test will not be allowed to participate.
Will I receive a discount from auto insurance provider upon completion of a school?
Refunds will not be issued for cancellations after Thursday or for no-shows. We have volunteers coming into town expecting to teach at the school and other students may have missed an opportunity to attend the school.

Covid-19 For Members
EXPLAINED: Germany's latest proposals to fight fourth Covid wave
The Local - [email protected] • 2 Dec, 2021 Updated Thu 2 Dec 2021 07:23 CEST
As the situation in Germany's hospitals intensifies, political leaders are considering a new raft of measures. Here's what you need to know ahead of Thursday's meeting.
What is actually going on in Germany?
Covid cases have been rising and German hospitals are buckling under the pressure of new coronavirus patients - most of whom are unvaccinated according to doctors. Some intensive care units are full, while other hospitals have cancelled operations to divert staff and resources to ICUs.
Politicians are wrestling over the best Covid plan to get through this difficult period. After an emergency meeting on Tuesday, another round of talks will take place on Thursday to decide on the measures needed to calm the fourth wave.
But there are a few complications to keep in mind: firstly, Germany's incoming government is not quite in place yet (that's due to happen next week), so the outgoing government, headed by Angela Merkel (CDU), is still technically in power in a caretaker capacity. Merkel and soon-to-be Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) are attending Covid meetings together.
There are 16 state premiers who also want to have their say. Plus there's the issue of the legal basis for introducing any far-reaching new Covid measures after the 'pandemic state of emergency' was lifted on November 25th and replaced with an amended Infection Protection Act which caused political friction.
Adding to the mix is a ruling by the federal constitutional court released this week which found that the emergency brake rules - which included curfews and contact bans - were lawful. This ruling widens the scope for decisions on Covid restrictions in Germany.
READ ALSO: Will Germany bring in Covid 'emergency brake' restrictions?
What are political leaders hoping for?
The general feeling among most state and federal leaders is that Covid measures need to become tougher in order to deal with the dramatic situation.
Here's a look at the ideas being put forward by Scholz.
After the talks on Tuesday, Scholz said he wanted to see Germany follow in the footsteps of neighbouring Austria by introducing compulsory vaccination by March next year.
"We have not succeeded in getting enough people vaccinated," said Scholz after the meeting. "Many people have been vaccinated, but because it's not enough we are in the position we're in now.
"Due to the conditions we can and must make a decision. I'm in favour of it. I'm also in favour of it being based on a vote in the Bundestag where every member will decide according to their own conscience."
Compulsory vaccination for employees in certain professions - like care facilities for the elderly and in hospitals - is also being looked at as a first step after state leaders called for it last month.

Booster shots at the dentist
In order to increase the vaccination tempo and to get 30 million shots into people's arms by Christmas, vaccinations should be carried out by pharmacists, dentists - and even vets, Scholz proposed.

Vaccination only recognised for six months
Immunity among the population could also be increased by making it compulsory to get a booster shot six months after the last dose, according to Scholz. That would mean people would lose their vaccination status if they didn't get a top-up jab.
Unvaccinated barred from almost all public life
There are calls from Scholz for a nationwide 2G rule In the retail sector. That means access to non-essential shops would only be for people who are vaccinated (geimpft) or for those who have recovered from Covid (genesen). Some states have already brought in this regulation.
Businesses are also encouraged to have 2G-plus rules - where vaccinated or recovered people also have to show a negative Covid test to gain entry into a venue or event.
Closures and restrictions
Large events such as football matches would be significantly restricted under the plans, with 2G or 2G-plus rules. Bavarian premier Markus Söder said all spectators should be temporarily banned from matches. He said it was difficult to justify busy stadiums when Christmas markets have been cancelled.
And the proposals say that venues like clubs and bars - and similar - would have to close in areas with high Covid numbers or hospitalisations.
"From the federal government's point of view, this is already legally possible," says the proposal. "It will undoubtedly be clarified in the reform of the Infection Protection Act. However, the states should already use this option across the board where necessary."
The legal possibility of closing restaurants in areas with difficult infection dynamics is also being looked at.
However, according to the latest draft, the aim is to keep access to cultural and leisure facilities - such as cinemas, theatres and restaurants - open but only to vaccinated and recovered people (2G). An up-to-date test could be required (2G-plus rule).

Contact restrictions for unvaccinated people
Nationwide strict contact restrictions are being proposed for the unvaccinated. If you are eligible but have chosen to not get vaccinated, private gatherings would be limited to your own household and a maximum of two people from another household.
Lockdown 'clause'
Furthermore, according to German regional newspaper the Tagesspiegel, a planned amendment to Germany's infection protection laws will include a permanent 'state lockdown clause' to allow for regional lockdowns, including widespread closures and curfews for the unvaccinated.
This item is needed because the current lockdowns in Saxony and Bavaria, which were brought in before the legal situation changed on November 25th are only allowed to stay in place until December 15th.
Some states say they are struggling to introduce curbs under the new legal framework. Berlin authorities, for instance, said Tuesday they wanted to close clubs, bars and restaurants but said the law needs to be adapted at the federal level.
Masks in schools
Mandatory masks will be reintroduced in schools for all grades nationwide.
Expert committee
Scholz wants to set up a scientific expert committee in the Federal Chancellery which will meet once a week and make joint proposals.
A Covid crisis team led by a military general has already been set up. Its primary task will be coordinating and speeding up the vaccine rollout, but it will also be charged with monitoring and responding to the ongoing Covid situation.
What else is on the table?
There are also calls for the Christmas holidays to be brought forward in badly hit areas.
All of these points - and others - will be discussed and decided on in a meeting between Scholz, Merkel and state leaders.
"The details of these regulations are to be worked out by Thursday in order to then come to joint decisions," government spokesman Steffen Seibert announced.

Raiders Video: Maxx Crosby Shows Support For Team USA
July 19, 2021 by Raiders Nation Leave a Comment
The 2021 NFL season is quickly approaching, and teams are gearing up for the upcoming year with training camp slated to start. The Las Vegas Raiders will be a team to watch as they revamped the roster on the defensive side while adding more firepower to what was already a top-10 offensive unit.
Head coach Jon Gruden and defensive coordinator Gus Bradley will be charged with turning the Raiders around on both ends of the field, but they at least have the requisite talent to accomplish that goal. Defensively, Yannick Ngakoue has drawn rave reviews from the players, but there has also been buzz around Maxx Crosby, who may be in line for a big year after a solid 2020 campaign.
Although the regular season is a couple of months away, the summer will be filled with sports programming. The 2020 Tokyo Olympics are slated to begin next week after being put on hiatus due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Like every Olympics, the USA is projected to do well in several sports and should be coming home with plenty of medals when the dust settles.
The Tokyo Olympics are set to begin on July 23, and Crosby sent a heartfelt message to all the American athletes participating via his Twitter account:
LETS GO https://t.co/MDYDKblAb7
— MaddMaxx (@CrosbyMaxx) July 16, 2021
Team USA is comprised of 613 athletes and features 193 returning Olympians, with 104 of them as medalists. The multiple medalists are headlined by eight U.S. women who have won four or more Olympic Medals. The list includes Allyson Felix, Katie Ledecky, and Simone Biles.
As far as the events go, baseball and softball return to the fold for the first time since the 2008 Beijing Olympics, while surfing, karate, skateboarding, and sport climbing will be making their Olympic debuts. These events only add to the USA's ability to come away with more honors and accolades.
So although the Silver and Black faithful must wait to see their team back in action, the Tokyo Olympics will surely be able to fill the sports void.

About The Flats
`The Flats is an area of Cleveland, Ohio that lines the banks of the Cuyahoga River. This neighborhood is divided into the East and the West Flats. The Flats is a renovated collection of former industrial buildings and warehouses. There was a time when this area held the distinction as home to the highest concentration of bars in the Midwest. This was during the early 1990's. Due to a string of unfortunate incidents, most of the bars and businesses of the East Flats have gone out of business. There have been plans in the works for several years to rejuvenate the East Flats of Cleveland but these plans have remained stalled.
The Nautica Entertainment Complex is the center of activity for the West Flats of Cleveland. The complex includes The Plain Dealer Pavilion which boasts the capacity to seat 5,000 spectators in an outdoor arena. The scenery at the Pavilion showcases the Cuyahoga river, Cleveland skyline, and two stunning lighted bridges. The Plain Dealer Pavilion hosts concerts from early summer to early fall. The Powerhouse is also a hallmark of The Nautica. This former power station has been transformed into retail shops, a comedy club, and several restaurants. The IMPROV comedy clubs, Powerhouse Pub, Rock Bottom Brewery, Howel at the Moon Cafe, Cyrus Waterfront Restaurant, and Windows on the River catering venue are located within the Powerhouse building. The Nautica Queen cruise ship is also based in the West Flats. The ship offers scenic lunch and dinner cruises. A half-mile long boardwalk is also a notable feature of the Nautica Entertainment Complex.

The first look at the branding for an incredibly exciting new project I'm working on. It's been in the works for a while and I can't wait to share more of it in the coming days.


Your sons sound a lot like mine! He loves his comfortable athletic shorts and dri-fit shirts. When we cruise I can usually convince him to put on some khaki shorts for dinner, but he is ready to change as soon as it's over! On your four-night Bahamian sailing, you'll have an optional dress up night scheduled. A black pair of shorts and colored shirt will work for them to wear to dinner that night. I know you want them to enjoy the experience, so it sounds like this is a good compromise. The rotational dining aboard Disney Cruise Line is fabulous because all the restaurants tell their own story with no detail untouched. Hopefully your boys will be enjoying the atmosphere, interacting with the dining servers and eating the delicious food and won't remember what they are wearing! Dinner aboard Disney Cruise Line is definitely a one-of-a-kind experience!
Thank you for stopping by the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Missy! Have a magical time on the Disney Dream!


The video for the landed cost feature shows an average cost item that is updated when posting a voucher but when we tried it using 4.11.3 we see that actual and standard costs are updated for the landed cost but the average cost is not. Is the average cost suppose to be updated? With the new tariffs many of our suppliers have announced that they will be invoicing us separately from the purchase order invoices for tariff surcharges.
Landed cost items should update the item costs when a freight or duty voucher is posted. For standard costed items the actual cost is updated and normal item costing processes will apply where a company can subsequently update standard costs from actual based on their operational processes. Average costed items by their nature must be updated immediately. As such the item site value of the item is updated, thereby updating the average cost of the item immediately.
If you are not seeing this behaviour, then I suggest you raise an bug issue with some steps to reproduce the problem you are experiencing.

The smaller size of our ship and the smaller passenger numbers ensures that any detrimental social and environmental impacts are minimised. Most tourists to the Great Barrier Reef stay (and often don't leave) in the Cairns area and in a few other restricted locations, so by enabling our passengers to visit some different areas without putting any strain on local amenities, we are spreading the financial benefits and the load of our visit.
The food on board is bought locally; Queensland is blessed with being, in parts, very fertile and ideal for growing fruit and vegetables. Fish is locally abundant, and meat is a major local industry, so all the food is very locally sourced.
We encourage all our passengers to engage with the local community on a social and economic level to ensure that this tourism has a benefit to both the visitors and the hosts. By visiting some of the more outlying communities we will spread the financial benefit of our visit to some rarely visited areas of the country.
These Great Barrier Reef cruises have an on board fully qualified Marine Biologist who will ensure you gain a full appreciation of the 'Reef', rainforest and tropical islands of this World Heritage-listed environment. The Marine Biologist provides huge amounts of information about the coral, flora and fauna of the local area, what threats it faces and how to preserve it. You also have the option to join a qualified naturalist on guided walks through the rainforests where they will inform anyone who wants to listen about the spectacular wildlife and the threats it faces. The Marine Biologist and the naturalist will also be available for on board discussions and occasional talks about their respective subjects.

The Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission will host an informational forum titled "What's Up With Drones?" Use of these unmanned aerial systems has exponentially increased. The unique features of these devices make them attractive for site surveying, aerial photography, search and rescue, marketing, film making, fire-fighting, policing, sports and much more. Their affordability and nimbleness make them especially attractive. Yet, there can be unintended, hazardous consequences when not properly managed. We will explore the current regulations and legal recommendations.
Registered guests can watch the program for free via a webinar or can join us for the live program at the MORPC office. Guests can purchase a lunch or bring their own lunch. RSVPS are required.
Our featured speakers include Peter Griggs, Principal at Brosius, Johnson & Griggs. Mr. Griggs law practice is devoted to the representation of public bodies in a vast array of areas, including labor and employment, land use, zoning, annexation and economic development.
We also welcome Mr. Fred Judson, Managing Director of the UAS (unmanned aircraft systems) Center for DriveOhio. Fred oversees development, implementation and administration of state-wide UAS programs, coordinates with Federal, State and Local agencies, national organizations and the general public; and plans and coordinates geospatial processing and collection activities.
The forum will cover the impact of drone use and recommendations for the public sector. For more information, please contact Eileen Leuby, Membership Services Coordinator via eleuby@morpc.org or 614-233-4135.

Cinzano Vermouth ist ein italienischer Wermut, d. h. ein mit einem Kräuterauszug u. a. aus Wermutkraut gewürzter Weinaperitif. Das Familienunternehmen Cinzano aus dem Piemont besteht nach eigenen Angaben seit 1757. Seit 1999 gehört das Unternehmen zu Campari.

Varianten

Der Wermut wird in fünf Geschmacksvarianten angeboten:
 Bianco (weiß, herb-süß, Aromen von Zimt und Nelke)
 Rosso (rubinrot, würzig, Aromen von Thymian und Majoran)
 Extra Dry (hell, extra-trocken)
 Limetto (zartgrün, fruchtig, Limonenaroma)
 Orancio (sonnengelb, fruchtig, Aromen von Orange und Vanille)

Als Getränk ist Cinzano Vermouth sowohl als Aperitif, pur oder auf Eis, als auch als Basis von Longdrinks und Cocktails bekannt, die neueren Varianten Orancio und Limetto werden auch als Mischgetränke mit Prosecco serviert. Cinzano Orancio ist überdies als Heißgetränk bekannt.

Herstellungsprozess

Die Herstellung von Cinzano Vermouth umfasst vier Arbeitsschritte:
 Die Zusammenstellung der Ausgangsweine – hauptsächlich piemontesischer Moscato-Weine – zu einer Cuvée (Verschnitt)
 Die Aromatisierung der Cuvée durch einen Kräuterauszug, der u. a. Wermut enthält
 Die Schönung und Filtration bzw. Stabilisierung des aromatisierten Weins
 Die Lagerung der Mischung bis zur Abfüllreife

Cinzano Vermouth besitzt einen Alkoholgehalt von 15 % vol., Cinzano Limetto hat 14,8 % vol.

Geschichte der Marke und des Unternehmens Cinzano
Cinzano wurde im Jahr 2017 260 Jahre alt. Im Laufe seiner Geschichte hat Cinzano Vermouth sich von einer handwerklich erzeugten, lokalen Spezialität zu einer der größten und bekanntesten Wermutmarken der Welt entwickelt.

Der Anfang: Ein Handwerksbetrieb in Turin
1757 eröffneten die Brüder Giovanni Giacomo und Carlo Stefano Cinzano – diplomierte Meisterdestillateure – ein kleines Geschäft mit angrenzendem Labor in Turin. Auf den königlichen Anwesen in Santa Vittoria d'Alba entstand später eine eigene Produktions- und Entwicklungsstätte für Wein und Sekt. Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts beauftragte der König von Piemont-Sardinien die Firma, einen dem französischen Champagner ebenbürtigen Schaumwein herzustellen. Dazu vergrößerte sich das Unternehmen mit einem zusätzlichen Standort in Santo Stefano Belbo und einer Niederlassung im französischen Chambéry.

Industrielle Produktion
1893 kaufte die Familie Cinzano den königlichen Besitz in Santa Vittoria d'Alba und begann dort mit der industriellen Produktion. Schon zuvor hatte man die enorme Bedeutung der Werbung für den wirtschaftlichen Erfolg eines Produktes erkannt. 1898 startete Cinzano Vermouth eine der langlebigsten Werbekampagnen der Welt: In der Ausgabe des in Livorno erscheinenden Il Telegrafo vom 8./9. Dezember wurde die erste Werbeanzeige der Marke abgedruckt.

Bis zum Ersten Weltkrieg

Auf Plakaten und in Anzeigen präsentierte sich Cinzano Vermouth in der Folgezeit als Stilikone: Berühmte Künstler und Illustratoren wurden für die wirkungsvolle Produktpräsentation gewonnen, so beispielsweise Leonetto Cappiello, der in den folgenden Jahren eine Reihe bemerkenswerter Werbekunstwerke schuf. Aufsehen erregte 1911 der Einsatz eines Flugzeugs, das über Mailand Tausende von Cinzano-Vermouth-Werbekarten abwarf. Francesco Cinzano belieferte auch den Wiener Hof als k.u.k. Hoflieferant.

Zwischenkriegszeit
Enrico Marone Cinzano führte das expandierende Familienunternehmen in den schwierigen Zeiten zwischen dem Ende des ersten und dem Beginn des Zweiten Weltkriegs. Über Anzeigen-Kunstwerke in populären Zeitschriften erreichte die Marke ihr wachsendes Publikum, wobei die "Golden Twenties" eine besonders produktive Phase darstellten. Cinzano sprach nun gezielt Frauen an und betätigte sich als Sponsor im Sport. 1925 entstand das bekannte Logo mit dem roten und blauen Hintergrund.

Aufbaujahre
In der zweiten Hälfte des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts betrieb Cinzano Vermouth eine Firmenpolitik der Expansion: Ende der 1950er Jahre besaß das Unternehmen 11 Niederlassungen in Europa, Australien und Südamerika und Partnerschaften in 19 Ländern. Zur Werbung wurde auch Produktplatzierung eingesetzt. Der Film The Secret of Victory von Stanley Kramer mit Anthony Quinn, Anna Magnani und Virna Lisi in den Hauptrollen beleuchtet die Geschichte der Cinzano-Produktionsstätte in Santa Vittoria d'Alba während der deutschen Besatzung 1943. In den 1960er Jahren machte die Schlagersängerin Rita Pavone den Trinkspruch Cin Cin…Cinzano in aller Welt bekannt. Ein Jahrzehnt später spielten Leonard Rossiter und Joan Collins in einer Serie von Slapstick-Sketchen, die im Jahr 2000 von der Sunday Times und Channel 4 auf Platz 11 der besten je fürs Fernsehen gedrehten Werbefilme gewählt wurden.

Kauf durch Campari
Seit 1999 gehört Cinzano Vermouth zur Gruppo Campari. 2007 ist Cinzano Vermouth die zweitstärkste Vermouth-Marke der Welt. Besonders hoch sind nach Firmenangaben die Verkäufe der Sorte Cinzano Bianco und der neuen Sorten Limetto (seit 2003) und Orancio (seit 1995).
