20th Century - Open Era of Tennis History
1968 ▪ TENNIS HISTORY OF OPEN ERA ▪ The first official "open" tournament takes place at Bournemouth on the English south coast, and the first Grand Slam, the newly named French Open, leads in a new era. Ken Rosewall, a returning professional won both events.
1969 ▪ TENNIS HISTORY OF ROD LAVER ▪ Rodney George "Rod" Laver of Australia becomes the first man to win a pure "open" Grand Slam, by taking all four major titles in the same year.Rod Laver completed his first Grand Slam in 1962 and second in 1969 - he is the only player in history to achieve two Grand Slams.
1970 ▪ TENNIS HISTORY OF TIE BREAK ▪ The tiebreak is introduced to Grand Slam tennis, as the US Open adopts the nine-point shootout (sudden death at 4-4). The winner of the tie-break was the first person to reach five points. Jack Kramer introduces a point system for tennis tournaments depending on how far players go in tournaments and on the end of season prize money goes to player who had most points (tennis history web sources).
1972 ▪ ATP ASSOCIATION FORMED ▪ The Association of Tennis Professionals is formed and Jack Kramer is chosen as first Executive Director in tennis history.
1973 ▪ NIKKI PILIC SUSPENSION ▪ Wimbledon is boycotted by the ATP following the suspension of Yugoslav Nikki Pilic.
1976 ▪ FIRST GRAPHITE AND FIBERGLASS RACQUET ▪ Thanks to Howard Head first graphite and fiberglass racquets appear on the tennis scene in the tennis history. In the Wimbledon Championships Swedish player Bjorn Borg won his first title in singles.
1977 ▪ US OPEN MOVED TO FLUSHING MEADOWS ▪ As Wimbledon celebrates its centenary, the US Open offers farewell to the private setting of the Westside Club at Forest Hills, to move to a non-club national tennis centre nearby at Flushing Meadows. The last US Open at Forest Hills begins with Renée Richards, a transsexual who had played in the men's singles as Richard Raskind in 1960, becoming the first (and only) person to have played in both the men's and women's singles at Grand Slam level.
1980 ▪ TIE BREAK SHOOTOUT RECORD ▪ The tiebreak comes of age in a 34 point shootout in the Wimbledon Championships final when Bjorn Borg has seven championship points to beat John McEnroe in four sets, but McEnroe saves them all, and converts his seventh point to take the match into a fifth set. Borg wins it 8-6. Great piece of tennis history.
1984 ▪ CLAY INDOOR SURFACE & TENNIS ON OLYMPICS AGAIN ▪ Clay develops into a temporary indoor surface when Sweden becomes the first country to install a makeshift clay court for a Davis Cup tie. And no ordinary tie – it's the final, and the visit to Gothenburg's Scandinavium arena of one of the strongest Davis Cup teams in tennis history: world No. 1 John McEnroe, No. 2 Jimmy Connors, and the world's best doubles team, McEnroe and Peter Fleming. By Saturday night, Sweden is the champion for the loss of one set, and clay is established as a surface option for indoor ties. Tennis also returns to the Olympic Games as a test event for under-21 players at Los Angeles and is won by Stefan Edberg and Steffi Graf.
1985 ▪ TENNIS HISTORY OF BORIS BECKER ▪ The German player Boris Becker was the youngest ever and first unseeded Wimbledon Mens Singles Champion with only 17 years (precisely 17 years and 227 days old).

In an announcement made in the US Open's parking lot, it says it will take over the running of the men's tour in January 1990 from the Men's International Professional Tennis Council, that had operated under the ITF's auspices, and henceforth be known as the 'ATP Tour'. A feature of the new tour is an elite series of nine events, the 'Super Nine' (now the Masters Series). With the breakaway denoting a form of civil war in tennis, the Grand Slam tournaments form their own year-ending tournament to start in 1990 called 'The Grand Slam Cup'. It will share a prize money pool of (a then massive) $1.5 million among 16 players and two reserves. The rival year-ending events were to last another 10 years in the tennis history before peace broke out in 1999
1990 ▪ TENNIS HISTORY OF MARTINA NAVRATILOVA ▪ Martina Navratilova became the Wimbledon ladies Singles Champion for a record 9th time.
1994 ▪ INDOOR GRASS TENNIS COURT ▪ Tennis on grass is played in indoor conditions for the first time in the tennis history, when the new retractable roof on the Gerry Weber Stadium in Halle, Germany, is closed to allow play to continue during rain.Martina Navratilova retires from singles tennis, having won a record 167 singles titles, a record 1438 matches won, and an 9 Wimbledon titles.
21st Century - A New Open Era of Tennis History
2001 ▪ TENNIS HISTORY OF GORAN IVANISEVIC ▪ In Wimbledon Championships tennis history Goran Ivanisevic of Croatia became the first Wimbledon wildcard in history of tennis to win the Mens Singles title.
2002 ▪ VENUS & SERENA WILIAMS ▪ Venus and Serena Williams become the first sisters in tennis history to be ranked #1 and #2 in the WTA world rankings list.
2003 ▪ PETE SAMPRAS ▪ Pete Sampras retires from tennis at a US Open farewell ceremony. He won 64 singles titles (4th highest ever) including a record 14 Grand Slam titles - 2 AO, 5 US Open and 7 Wimbledon.

He also captured an ATP-best 11 titles in as many finals, including the end-of-season Masters Cup. And also set an Open Era record by winning 13 consecutive finals (dating back to 2003), surpassing Bjorn Borg and John McEnroe who won 12 straight finals.
2005 ▪ NEW DOUBLES TIE BREAK SCORING SYSTEM ▪ The ATP (having dropped the word 'Tour' from its name in 2000) introduces a different scoring system for doubles matches, with sudden death points at deuce ('no advantage') and a first-to-ten-points tiebreak in place of a final set. Roger Federer's 25-match winning streak (the longest in men's tennis since 1984) ended at the hands of 18-year-old Richard Gasquet in Monte Carlo. Another great moment in tennis history.
2006 ▪ ANDRE AGASSI RETIRES ▪ The greatest showman in tennis history - Andre Agassi - retires on 3 September 2006 following a 7-5 6-7(4) 6-4 7-5 defeat to Benjamin Becker (GER) in the third round of the US Open.The right for players to challenge dubious line calls by electronic review is introduced in the Miami Masters Series tournament and makes its Grand Slam debut at the US Open later that year.
2007 ▪ TENNIS HISTORY OF RAFAEL NADAL ▪ On the 19 May, Rafael Nadal claims 81 straight wins on clay to set a new all surface record. His run was ended by Roger Federer in the Hamburg Masters final the following day. On the 9 September, Roger Federer became the first man in tennis history since Bill Tilden in the 1920s to win 4 US Open titles in a row, beating Novak Djokovic in the final.
2009 ▪ ROGER FEDERER ▪ On 7 June, Roger Federer became arguably the greatest tennis player of all time in tennis history with his victory at the French Open. Federer joins Fred Perry, Don Budge, Rod Laver, Roy Emerson and Andre Agassi as winner of all four Grand Slam titles, and equals the 14 Grand Slam titles claimed by Pete Sampras - who never managed to win on the clay of Roland Garros. On 20 April, Marat Safin and Dinara Safina became the first brother and sister to reach world number one in tennis history. Marat became achieved the top ranking on 20 November 2000. Roger Federer secure No. 1 postion on the end of seson with victory over Andy Murray in three sets at London ATP Finals on 25 November. Winning a championship takes years of hard work, quick reflexes and amazing senses. Without great eyesight your chances of winning a match would be low. Visiting Austin Lasik could help you with your vision problems.

How to make the drawing "Link to Property" feature update scale value outputs as drawing view scales are adjusted?
I'm sorry if this is answered, I couldn't find a great way to search for an answer to this question to find a solution but I'm sure it has been mentioned previously. When linking to properties via the note feature in drawings, the scale link is linked to whatever scale the part is originally sized to when you import it into the drawing. Adjusting the scale of the part in the drawing does not change the "link to property" scale value. Is it possible to set this property to change as you adjust the scale? Or is there another property for that situation that I'm missing? Attached are 2 images to illustrate my question in case I'm not being clear enough. Thanks.
Re: How to make the drawing "Link to Property" feature update scale value outputs as drawing view scales are adjusted?
the note in the sheet or sheet format can only link to the sheet scale. in general, you should be changing the sheet scale (in the sheet properties) NOT individual view scales.
Only my opinion, but good lord would I have had a lot less headaches dealing with drawings over the last 20 years.
Pardon my ignorance, but what makes "sheet scale" better to change than the custom scale? My habit has always been to change the custom scale (because it's more accessible, faster, and I can visually see the scale changes to gauge if I need to go bigger or smaller) and have that be the universal scale for all parts on a page (with the scale denoted as this on the bottom of the page). Then if I need to have a view that is not this "universal custom scale" I use that view's custom scale and place text below the view with the non-universal scale denoted. It just seems clunky to need to go into a separate property box to change the "sheet scale". Thanks.
Is that note parametric or do you edit it manually?
The only parametric value that can be linked there is the sheet scale (view scale seems to require the view to be linked to the note to work). I wanted to be able to set a custom view scale to a parent view (so all views had the same scale) and have that linked to in the bottom. because it's more work to change the sheet scale than it is to do a custom view scale (odd as that is). I heard this is different in SW16 elsewhere (shortcut key for sheet scale in 16?) and we'll be transitioning to that soon which should help.
If you use sheet scale on the parent view, that solves everything.
There is a shortcut in 16, but you still have to go into properties to change to anything not the same as the standards they set up.
Yes, what the other user linked showing the scale for SW16 looks like what I wanted. You're correct that the processes are very similar, I just saw one as slightly less complicated and more intuitive so wanted to set up my drawings to work off that. I'll use the sheet scale links as recommended and look forward to the update in SW16 to what I wanted.
The only parametric value that can be linked there is the sheet scale (view scale seems to require the view to be linked to the note to work).
That's what I thought, but wanted to be sure I hadn't missed anything. So you have to manually enter the value at the bottom of the sheet for the scale. In my opinion that's asking for trouble. I'd much rather set my drawing views to the sheet scale so the note will be parametric.
I heard this is different in SW16 elsewhere (shortcut key for sheet scale in 16?) and we'll be transitioning to that soon which should help.
I think this is what you're referring to.
Anyway, you set your workflow however you want, but you won't convince me that setting drawing views to a custom scale and then manually editing the note in the title block is faster, easier, or otherwise better than setting the views to sheet scale and not having to worry about the note.
My posting wasn't to convince anyone of anything. I was seeking how to link to the custom view scale instead of the sheet scale so that I didn't have to manually enter it each time, I'm not sure how this miscommunication occurred. With SW15 the only way I know of to change the sheet scale is to open the sheet properties and manually adjust it there. If I am not satisfied with the adjustment I then have to go back in to change it again. In this manner the auto-fill with the link works. I wanted the same type of auto-fill with custom scale values, but it looks like you have to have a note linked to the drawing for that to auto-fill, and I wasn't sure how to do that without an arrow.
This is what I need so the issue will be resolved when I update.
Sorry about the misunderstanding. Believing it may be helpful, many of us here will offer what we believe is a better workflow when someone posts a question. Some of us forget that not everyone wants or appreciates that.
I don't know of any way to have the title block note in the sheet format update to reflect a custom drawing view, if that's what you're asking.
Perfectly alright, I do appreciate the better workflow suggestions. Thank you.
1) All of the views scale together.
2) The sheet scale called out should be the default for all unmarked views.
4) If you are making all of those custom views, do mark them with the correct scale but make sure it's linked to that view scale. Otherwise there could be a crossing of the streams where the text doesn't match the actual view scale.
5) If you do need a bigger view, why not use a detail view? The custom scale is already marked...... Then change the scale of your detail view if needed. Which you're already doing the way you are now..... But saving you the time of placing text and the possibility of the scale call out not matching the actual scale.
6) Using sheet scale solves your original question.
Thank you for pointing this out to me.
what happened if you rebuild the dwg? is it updated?
Rebuilding does not solve the issue. As others have informed me, the link is to sheet scale and I was adjusting the custom scale. The two properties aren't tied.
...and then adjust the sheet scale (RMB on sheet tab > Properties... > see below) to get the drawing view to the desired size relative to the sheet. The note in the title block will update accordingly, assuming it's linked to the sheet scale. If it doesn't update, and you need help linking it, reply back here. I'm leaving for the day, but I'm sure someone else will help with that.
Thank you for the elaboration and illustrations, this helped me understand what he was saying.
and FYI, a note can be attached to a view without it having a leader.
if the note is created within a view boundary (the dashed outline you see when the cursor is over a view), it will be attached to that view. alternately you can "lock view focus" to the view prior to creating the note, and then the note can be created anywhere, but will be attached to that view.
after creation a note can be attached to a view also, right click on the note and select attachment.

Bashar Assad.(Photo by: REUTERS)
Are Assad's military forces on the verge of collapse?
By DANIEL J. ROTH
Four years and 200,000 deaths later, the regime of Bashar al-Assad may be on its last leg.
Four years and 200,000 deaths later, the regime of Bashar Assad may be on its last leg.
The Syrian army, with low morale, internal divisions and rapidly decreasing popularity, is facing its most serious challenges since the civil war began four years ago.
Multiple rebel offenses have seen strategically important cities fall to rebel control, such as Idlib and Jisr al-Shegour in the North, and a concerted rebel drive making its way toward Damascus in the South.
"The trend lines for Assad are bad and getting worse," said a senior United States official in Washington who spoke to The New York Times on the condition of anonymity.
As a result, Assad is being forced to lean on greater foreign support to prop up his ailing government, especially Hezbollah, the Lebanese terrorist group allied with Iran. In fact, Hezbollah now plays the main role or even directs the fight in many places, angering some Syrian officers, according to Syrian soldiers as well as the senior US official and a Syrian with close ties to the security establishment, the Times added.
Since the beginning of the civil war, Assad's forces have suffered devastating losses; high casualty and desertion rates have wiped out half of his military personnel.
"Four years ago, Syria's army had 250,000 soldiers; now, because of casualties and desertions, it has 125,000 regulars, alongside 125,000 pro-government militia members, including Iranian-trained Iraqis, Pakistanis and Afghan Hazaras," the newspaper reported.
This foreign assistance has boosted Assad's firepower considerably, yet the patchwork of smaller foreign units and irregular forces has hindered the regime's ability to control the military as an overarching force.
This shortage of homegrown fighters in Assad's campaign against rebel forces has led the regime to prohibit military-age males from exiting the country and to force discharged soldiers back into service. This has fomented discontent and further eroded support among Assad's base.
In another troubling sign for the state, fissures have erupted within the regime, highlighting how dysfunctional mechanisms within the government have become. The government recently dismissed the heads of two of its four main intelligence agencies after they quarreled over the role of foreign fighters, according the Times. One subsequently died; the other's guards reportedly beat him to death.
Years of civil war have destroyed the economy, leaving the regime nearly destitute. At the beginning of the war, Syria held $30 billion in foreign exchange reserves. Four years later, that has dwindled to a mere $1b.
The Syrian pound has taken a huge hit, decreasing in value steadily as foreign capital continues to flee. This has increased discontent within the military, as personnel continue to receive the same salaries, but in an increasingly worthless currency.

What Happens When Swedish Design Meets Sushi Takeout? Packaging Magic!
A team of Swedish designers, inspired by origami, upped the sushi takeout game.
What Is Powdered Soy Sauce? Do You Sprinkle It On Food Like Salt?
Those black plastic sushi takeout trays with their sad little sakura patterns may be a thing of the past if the rest of the world catches on to this redesigned packaging from the Swedish design team of Fanny Löfvall, Nanna Basekay and Oliver Sjöqvist. Created for Stockholm-based Japanese restaurant Samurai, the trays fold into boxes with a slot for chopsticks that double as a convenient handle, all with no adhesive or plastic involved (other than the soy sauce packets, which are almost too cute to open).
The designers also tossed a beer design in the mix. Not that you need to try very hard to sell alcohol in a restaurant, but with a bottle this gorgeous, you might not even care it's only 3.5 percent ABV! Hey, you want a buzz? Drink sake.
Check out the rest of the line, and the next time you see a little plastic grass cutout lazily separating your ikura from your yellowtail, feel free to sigh a little in disappointment.

Retail Popping Up in Hotel Lobbies
By Janet Valenza
Why not extend this practice to more traditional hotel private label programs (e.g., linens) by adding a few basic items on a website. Shopify, the e-commerce template, is an easy and inexpensive way for a small boutique hotel to get started.
By defining the customer, other product categories, ranging from entertainment to items such as cocktail glasses and cocktail mixing coffee table books, can be included. How about an opportunity to create your own signature cocktail with the ability to order basics from the website? I know that many creative cocktail recipes include absinthe as an ingredient, but I have no idea what it is. What if it was included in a bar drink I like and made it easy for me to get a sample bottle shipped home?
By creating a profile of the typical boutique hotel client for a particular location, one can get a good sense of that person's lifestyle. What does she wear? What does she do for fun? Where does she work and live? All of these data points provide clues as to what to sell in the boutique. How about creating a wonderfully merchandised display with the hotel vibe comprised of a dozen items, taking orders via the hotel website? Not only does that simplify inventory, but it also lays the groundwork for an ongoing relationship with this customer. E-commerce makes it easy.
This e-pop-in could run as a six-week test, adding visual interest and excitement to the hotel lobby. It could also be used to draw traffic to parts of the hotel like the bar. Managed well, it will lay the foundation for a well-merchandised private label program, all with minimal financial risk.
In summary, e-pop-ins can be used as a tool to test what products work and what doesn't for boutiques hotels while e-commerce simplifies and streamlines inventory management. This model allows boutique independents to develop similar programs to those the bigger players offer, at much lower risk. So pop goes the lobby.

Brian Astbury (14 November 1941 – 5 March 2020) was a South African photographer, theatre director, acting and writing teacher, and founder of The Space Theatre in Cape Town, South Africa.

Early life

Brian Astbury was born on 14 November 1941 and grew up in the South African town of Paarl. He attended Paarl Boys' High and played first team cricket for the school before matriculating in 1959. He briefly studied librarianship at the University of Cape Town before abandoning the course. He met his future wife, at the Cape Argus where she worked as a librarian and journalist, when he did vacation work after completing his matric. He then worked as a photographer for Capab, the Cape Province's performing arts organisation. He would follow Bryceland and Athol Fugard when the latters play Boesman and Lena toured England in 1971.

He worked closely with his wife Yvonne Bryceland and playwright Athol Fugard when they formed an independent non-racial theatre called The Space in May 1972 opening with the play Statements After an Arrest Under the Immorality Act. Based in an old workshop, the theatre was able to operate with a non-racial audience because a membership was required to watch the performances at the club. This was closely followed by other Fugard plays Sizwe Banzi is Dead in 1972 and The Island in 1973. A recent documentary about the founding and the running of The Space Theatre highlighted his key role in creating South Africa's first non-racial, commercial arts venue during the apartheid regime.

Other playwrights whose careers started at The Space, included Fatima Dike, Geraldine Aron and Paul Slabolepszy. The theatre helped to start a number of actors and directors careers that spanned both the South African and the international entertainment arenas and include names such as John Kani, Winston Ntshona, Bill Flynn, Richard E Grant, Pieter Dirk Uys and Barney Simon.

At The Space he was the director of The Sun King, A Thousand Clowns, The Tiger, Treats, What the Butler Saw, Children of the Wolf, Dracula, Going to Pot, Old King Cole, Play It Again, Sam and other plays. By 1979, with The Space struggling financially it was renamed The Peoples Space after it was taken over by Moyra Fine and Rob Amato. It would fold in 1984.

He moving to London in 1979 with Bryceland he became an influential theatre teacher at Lamda, Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts and East 15 acting schools. After his retirement he wrote several books on the arts of acting and writing.

Death
He died age 78 in London on 5 March 2020 after a heart attack on the London Tube. Yvonne Bryceland died in 1992; the couple had two daughters.

Stockholm 1885 - Stockholm 1940
Erik Gunnar Asplund, a distinguished Scandinavian exponent of Functionalism, is regarded as the most important Swedish architect of the 20th century. From 1905 to 1909 he studied painting at the Royal Art Institute in Stockholm. Erik Gunnar Asplund was, however, always interested in architecture and also attended the Stockholm Free Architecture School. Soon after finishing his studies, Erik Gunnar Asplund opened an architecture practice of his own in Stockholm. Between 1911 and 1930 Asplund designed several buildings in a style influeneced by Neo-Classicism, including the Scandia Cinema (1922-1923) and the Stockholm City Library (1924-1928). The furniture Erik Gunnar Asplund designed at that time was also in the Neo-Classical style, as exemplifed by "Senna" (1915), a chair he created for a public library. In 1915 Erik Gunnar Asplund and Sigurd Lewerentz were the joint winners of a competition to design an enlargement of the Stockholm crematorium and the cemetary grounds. The plan Asplund and Lewerentz submitted, attracted a great deal of attention. It integrated the cemetery grounds harmoniously in a wooded landscape incorporating hills, level ground, and glades; in the burial ground planted with trees, the graves become part of nature. This cemetery, which also included several chapels and mortuary buildings, was laid out between 1915 and 1940; in 1994 it was declared a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site. In 1930 Erik Gunnar Asplund radically changed his style. That year he was appointed head architect of the important Stockholm Exhibition mounted by the Swedish Applied Arts League. From then on Erik Gunnar Asplund switched to a functional style inspired by the Bauhaus. With the "Paradiset" restaurant Erik Gunnar Asplund designed in iron and glass for the Stockholm Exhibition, he introduced the International Modern style to Sweden. His change in style also affected his furniture designs; from now on he designed chairs and armchairs with tubular steel frames, such as the "Karmstol" chair (1931, manufactured by Nordiska Kompaniet). There was "no longer any need for old cultural forms," Erik Gunnar Asplund wrote in 1931 as as the co-author of a Modernist manifesto. Between 1931 and 1940, Erik Gunnar Asplund taught architecture at the Royal Art Institute in Stockholm. Erik Gunnar Asplund was a close friend of Alvar Aalto, who wrote in his obituary to his friend Asplund: "Contact with nature, and this included people, was visibly present in all his projects."

The Jewish holiday of Purim, celebrated on the 14th day of Adar, according to the Hebrew calendar, is a time of miracles, marked by merrymaking and masquerade. Among several traditions, the public reading of the Megillah, or The Book Of Esther, is made meaningful by costumes representing characters in the story and by the custom of mi'shloach manot or the giving of food to spread the joy of the holiday. Though the story includes several important characters, 'The Purim Players' is my interpretation for three of the central characters in the old story. The masked young woman in the image represents Esther, a beautiful Jewish orphan who became Queen to King Ahashverus of Persia and later the mother of Cyrus, the Persian king under whose reign the Jewish population flourished. Haman, the King's evil advisor, is represented here by two 'groggers' or noisemakers held by the young boy in the curly bearded mask of King Ahashverus. These devices, modeled after artifacts from medieval Germany are shaken or rattled each time the name of Haman is read in the story to drown out his name and the memory of his evil machinations to destroy the Jews of Persia. The Hebrew script on them translates as 'curse Haman'. Esther holds a silver dish containing the gifts of food for the holiday. The dish is in the shape of a fish to represent the astrological sign of Pisces and also the month of Adar.

Mayo's Lee Keegan celebrates. ©INPHO/James Crombie.
Mayo star Lee Keegan says the culture has to change in the GAA when it comes to booze bans.
Speaking to the Irish Independent at the launch of the 2019 John West Feile yesterday, the former 'Footballer of the Year' pointed out that managers and supporters have to respect the fact that players have a life to lead outside of the inter-county bubble.
"You sit in the pub even having a MiWadi and the heads are staring over at you, 'why is he in here?'" he said.
Keegan revealed that James Horan trusts his Mayo players to get the balance right but added that other managers could take a leaf out of rugby's book.
"I always look at professional sports and particularly rugby, they have their few beers after their game and they train two days later and perform at the highest level the week after.
"That's the way the way the GAA should look at it as well.
"It's part and parcel of life. If you can't enjoy life with a bit of success or even if you lose to have a few beers with your mates, that's part of sport and you have to have that as well.


Few places on Earth can boast a richer history and culture than China. With one of the oldest civilizations not just in Asia but, indeed, the whole world, China has always been one of the most alluring travel destinations for people the world over, especially from the West.
With changes in Chinese policy over the past few years to emphasize greater trade and interaction with the West, the time has never been better to take that Chinese travel tour you've always wanted. That said, the question remains – just what do you want to visit in China, and where? China is a pretty massive country, after all. Even so, there are a few particular sites that every tourist should have on their China tour bucket list.
When you have a culture as old and rich as that of China, it's safe to say that historical sites are going to be one of the cornerstones of the tourism industry. The Great Wall, the Forbidden City, the Terracotta Army – they're all among the most popular tourism destinations, and require little extra fanfare. That said, with so many tourists coming to these sites, you'll certainly want to plan your trip ahead of time and try to visit on dates and times when things won't be as busy.
Of course, major landmarks such as those mentioned above are just the beginning. To really delve into the spirit of any culture, you'll want to visit sites which speak to their cultural past, present, and future. No trip to London is complete without at least glimpsing the reconstructed Globe Theatre, built near the original site and in the original style of the famed theatre which saw the premiere of so many of Shakespeare's greatest plays.
Likewise, Peking Operas were one of the great Chinese cultural treasures throughout the latter half of the Qing Dynasty. As such, a trip to a Peking Opera House in Beijing is a fantastic way to experience one of China's great cultural treasures. Choice options here include traditional Peking Opera Houses (such as the Zhengyici Peking Opera Theatre, built in 1688 and one of the oldest theatres of its kind) and more modern options (such as the National Centre for the Performing Arts, notable for its unique egg-shaped design).
You can also plan an entire China tour around the vast stretches of natural beauty which dot China's coastline and territories. A visit to Victoria Harbour can be a great way to experience its coastal beauty without traveling too far from civilization, while exploring some of China's most famous rivers can help you experience the full breadth of the nation's natural beauty.
And, of course, if we're talking nature and China, a word has to be said about nature preserves and pandas. They're as astounding as advertised, and they offer you a great chance to see one of the world's most iconic animals in as close to its native environment as possible.
For a perfect blend of East and West, look no further than Hong Kong. For English speakers, it can offer the easiest entry point into China given the high volume of Chinglish speakers in the area. If you can navigate the unique diplomatic and passport situation of the area, it's a modern metropolitan melting pot like no other.
Experience China like never before with an incredible tour of its greatest sites.

Sleeping pilot overflies Australian island destination
The pilot was the only person aboard the twin-propeller Piper PA-31 Navajo Chieftain and was flying on autopilot.
Sleeping pilot overflies Australian island destination The pilot was the only person aboard the twin-propeller Piper PA-31 Navajo Chieftain and was flying on autopilot. Check out this story on detroitnews.com: https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/world/2018/11/27/pilor-sleeping-australia-island/38629077/
Rod Mcguirk, Associated Press Published 6:00 p.m. ET Nov. 27, 2018
Melbourne, Australia – A commercial pilot is under investigation after falling asleep in the cockpit of a freight plane and overflying his Australian island destination by 29 miles, officials said Tuesday.
The pilot, who has not been identified, was the only person aboard the twin-propeller Piper PA-31 Navajo Chieftain and was flying on autopilot during the early morning flight on Nov. 8 from Devonport city on Tasmania 155 miles northwest to King Island in Bass Strait, his employer, Vortex Air, said in a statement.
The pilot "unintentionally fell asleep while in command of the aircraft," the Melbourne-based airline said.
"The issue became apparent when air traffic control was unable to contact the pilot in-flight, and the aircraft traveled past the intended destination point while operating on autopilot," the statement said.
Air traffic control recordings showed several radio calls were made to the unresponsive pilot, The Australian newspaper reported.
The pilot landed safely on King Island, Vortex Air said.
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau, a crash and risk investigator, and the Civil Aviation Safety Authority, the aviation industry regulator, are investigating the incident and the company's management of pilot fatigue.
The bureau confirmed that the plane had overflown the King Island Airport by 29 miles due to the pilot sleeping. It said it would interview the pilot and review Vortex Air's operational procedures before a report on the incident is made public.
Vortex Air said the 6:20 a.m. flight had been the first on the pilot's first day back at work after taking leave. He continued flying that day.
The newspaper said the pilot reported for duty despite having had little or no sleep the previous night due to a personal crisis.
"Vortex Air takes the safety of our passengers, crew and pilots extremely seriously and always abide by all safety procedures," the airline said.
"This is an extremely rare occurrence, as demonstrated by the company's excellent safety track record," it added. The company said it was assisting the pilot to "safely return to full duties."

Who is feeding the horribly obese people?
Couldn't sleep tonight so I got up and watched a little television. There was a show on about a man that weighs 600 pounds, he had not gotten out of his bed for a long time. It got me thinking if this guy can't get out of his bed who in the hell is feeding him? He can't get out of bed, he can't go to the store to buy anything, seems like it would be pretty easy to make him lose weight by not feeding him. I don't even want to know what's involved with his other bodily functions.
How could someone see a person so miserable yet keep feeding him? That seems to me to be some sort of abuse.
Does this parallel to 'too lazy to get up to get another beer - require delivery'?
Who's feeding him? Most likely our tax dollars along with his health care, housing etc.
a somewhat deranged , guilt ridden mother.
It's a good question, because we all know you get to 600+ pounds one single pound at a time. When does the red flag go up and someone realize there's a problem? The people bringing the food are criminals. Very sad people get to that weight, no excuse for it.
They had to cut the wall out of his bedroom to get him out. I agree it didn't happen overnight so why would someone keep feeding him. It could be a mother but you would think his life is more important than the guilt she may feel.
What blows my mind is the fact they are on disability because they chose to eat so much. Granted most have issues but hunger is a hell of a motivator to help them get over it.
Don't get me started on the 450lbs cows with handicap parking passes.
What is even worse is seeing all the obese kids over the recent decade or so.
No kidding. That should be considered child abuse.
What I don't understand is how these morbidly obese non-working people can even afford the amount of food it must take to weigh 600lbs.
Can you imagine the monthly food bill for that 1 person ?? Must be a grand a month, easy.
I love the bumper sticker, I hunt with my kids not for them.
I do not even hunt, but for me it is fishing and the outdoors.
It has to start early to get them off the dam video games and get them outside fishing, hunting, hiking, camping, sports.
I took my dad to dinner the other night in Lahaina.
There was a very well fed couple there, each with a loaf of white bread.
They ate a loaf each during their dinner.
I have never in my life seen anything like it.
There's a ton of bad parents out there. That's how I was able to get booze and ciggs (quit smoking years ago). I'm sure parents like that would still feed their kids McDonalds if try were 600 pounds. There are also parents who's idea of going out to eat is to an all you can eat buffet,you see tons of fat kids in those joints. Some people also have food addictions like people smoke cigarettes. They know it will eventually kill them but they can't quit the habit.
I just had to look this up. This might be the story you read.
"The 55-year-old former construction worker ate two-foot long submarine sandwiches and an entire large pizza all by himself every week for years."
I am guessing they mean daily. I could make that lunch and supper for a 5 day work week.
I think after a certain point it just becomes mental, kinda like they just throw in the towel.


I think we have a bounden duty to beget the next generation, even if it does take years off your life.

Rory McIlroy clung on for all his worth, as he both endured and enjoyed a rollercoaster ride – mixing three bogeys with five birdies – in the second round of the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill Club & Lodge in Orlando, where the Northern Irishman signed for a 70 for 139, five-under, to be on the fringes of contention at the midpoint.
With Georgia on his mind as he works his way towards next month's US Masters in Augusta, McIlroy – who has reverted to a longer putter, one with a length of 34½-inches – had what he described as a "scrappier" round than his opening effort but, reaching the halfway stage five shots off tied-clubhouse leaders Henrik Stenson and Bryson DeChambeau, at least has a weekend to make inroads.
Having started on the 10th in his second round, McIlroy picked up birdies on the 13th and 15th but then suffered back-to-back bogeys on the first and second. However, he produced a hat-trick of birdies from the fourth – rolling in three birdies, all inside 10 feet, as his approach play clicked up a gear – before dropping a shot on the eighth where he pulled his tee shot into rough.
Stenson was joined at the top of the leaderboard by American Bryson DeChambeau, who turned his game around just a week after withdrawing from the Valspar Championship where he struggled with a bad back.
"I think that rest last week kind of helped. My body wasn't doing great and I was able to come here pretty fresh and get the ball in the hole," said DeChambeau who added a second round 66 to his opening 67 to join the Swede on the 133 mark, 11-under-par.
Pádraig Harrington had a horror time on the par five sixth hole, his 15th, where he was twice in water and ran up a ruinous quadruple-bogey nine. The Dubliner responded with a 35 footer for birdie on the par three6th, but failed to birdie either of his closing two holes and signed for a 75 for 146 to miss the cut by one.

The introduction discusses the shortcomings of the existing legal regulation of the essence and species diversity of material evidence and personal sources of antitort information and the efforts made by scientists to eliminate them.
The purpose of research is the scientific validation of basic provisions of the innovative understanding of the step-by-step essential species division of subjective, objective and mixed sources of antidelictual information and initiating discussions on the development of the conventional ways to resolve this problem.
The main part of the innovative understanding of the step-by-step essential species division of subjective, objective and mixed sources of antidelictual information.
Disclosed the essence of the species and detailed division of personal resources. Particular attention is given to species division of witnesses on the eyewitness, the paraeyewitness, the parawitness and the poliwitness, the injured, on the de-facto injured, the de-facto parainjured, the de-jure injured and the de-jure parainjured and persecuted – the suspected, accused, defendant, convicted, justified, participial, para participial, kvaziparticipial and kvaziparaparticipial. It was emphasized that the participial appears in the absence of sufficient and consistent body of meaningful, trustworthy and benign of evidence for recognition as a persecuted person guilty or innocent; paraparticipial person, if the person, who committed the criminal offense, did not reach the age of punishment; quasiparticipial person is non-convicted; and a quasiparticipial person – in the absence of action in the anticriminal code.
The essence and the relationship of the tracks (prints, diagnostic mapping, situational mapping) and of the substances (objects, devices, mechanisms, appliances, bodies, substances).
Disclosed the essence, species division and correlation of the subjective, objective, and mixed documents based on letter-documents, image-documents, photo-documents, audio-documents, video-documents, cinema-documents, holograms-documents, electrograph-documents, electronic-documents, plasticdocuments, computer-documents, poly-documents and other types of documents, that may appear as information technology evolves.
In conclusion, given that the innovative understanding of the step-by-step essential species division of subjective, objective and mixed sources of antidelictual information can be the basis for the final resolution of this problem.
Keywords: the personal sources of antidelictual information, the tracks substances, the tracks, the substance, the objective documents, the subjective documents, the mixed documents.


1.Make sure to scan your passport and your ticket details and email it to yourself. Who knows when you might need a copy of that after you've accidentally lost it or someone stole it from you.
2.Call your bank/company and get a detailed information about your credit and debit cards, whether you can use them in the country you're going or not .Save yourself a pocket full of wrinkled cash and loudly bouncing coins while you're walking around the new place.
3.Coming to packing your clothes, we all know how much of a burden is a heavy luggage or even more having to take more than one. So try to roll your clothes instead of piling them up. This will save you some space for other important stuff you might need to take with you, or it will just make your luggage easier to carry around .
5.Welcome to your new "home" for a few days. Try to find an ATM as soon as you land so you can "get your hands on" the local currency avoiding so all the trouble and delays on the local grocery store or while you're ready to pay the bill in the restaurants & bars you're hanging out.
6.Rent a car or a bike. Although it might be an added expense to your travelling budget, you will thank yourself when you discover that the most awesome places are located in the suburbs and you can easily visit them without the burden of the public transportation or getting lost while you're trying to reach your final destination.
7.Eat locally. While exploring the place try as much as you can the local cuisine. You might be surprised from the flavors you will encounter. It will probably be your only chance to eat something different from your usual diet, so get the most out of it.
8.Act locally. Once you get there you might want to let go of the typical "tourist-guy/girl " appearance and go with the flow. Try to get out of your comfort zone and explore as much as you can as a local. Don't be afraid to use the local language too. Try general sayings like "Hi" "Thank you" and "Goodbye" which usually are very easy to learn in most of the languages.
9.Ah! Home sweet home. Time to relax, right? Well, not really. You'd better unpack as soon as you enter the door. You may be tired out of your mind , but you'll be glad you did it in the morning.
10.Have some "alone" time to reflect about your experience and to process all the new information you got. Look back at the pictures you took and write a journal about all the things that happened. You will be surprised how "alive" your memories will sound once you go and tell your FRIENDS all about it!

George and Amal Clooney donate $500k to march against guns
CANNES, FRANCE - MAY 12: Actor George Clooney and his wife Amal Clooney attend the "Money Monster" premiere during the 69th annual Cannes Film Festival at the Palais des Festivals on May 12, 2016 in Cannes, France. (Photo by Clemens Bilan/Getty Image
NEW YORK (AP) - Actor George Clooney and his wife, Amal Clooney, are donating $500,000 to students organizing nationwide marches against gun violence, and they say they'll also attend next month's planned protests.
In a statement released Tuesday, the couple says they're inspired by the "courage and eloquence" of the survivors-turned-activists from Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. Seventeen people were killed at the school and others wounded when a former student went on a rampage with an assault rifle. Students are mobilizing a March 24 march in Washington and elsewhere to urge lawmakers to enact tougher gun control.
The Clooneys say they're donating the money in the names of their eight-month-old twins Ella and Alexander. The couple also says the family plans to "stand side by side" with students next month.

2.5 Particularities of Zika introduction in Brazil - Interview with Prof. Paolo Zanotto
In the footsteps of Zika… approaching the unknown
Университет Женевы
4.7 (оценок: 97) | Зарегистрировано учащихся: 4K
Welcome ! Welcome to this on-demand MOOC "In the footsteps of Zika… approaching the unknown". This MOOC has been produced by Université de Genève (www.unige.ch), Institut Pasteur (www.pasteur.fr), Université Paris Descartes (www.parisdescartes.fr) and Centre Virchow-Villermé (virchowvillerme.eu). With the help of the intervention of faculty members and international experts, we will explore together the recent Zika phenomenon, a previously rare benign virus that recently turned unexpectedly into the limelight when on the 1st of February 2016 it was declared by the WHO as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. As this outbreak is still ongoing and under close investigation, this MOOC has the opportunity to be an open learning experience that will follow the marked developments and new discoveries over time. This MOOC will bring you to the heart of the Zika outbreak and invite you to this adventure in uncharted territories. Moreover, we invite you to join the interactive dialogue among participants and facilitators through a community of practice, which promotes questions, critical thinking, participatory learning, as well as interrelated and ongoing collaborative information. Let us learn hand in hand all together to go further in finding clues and eventually solutions! Course description This interdisciplinary course is divided into 8 modules available in 4 languages (subtitles in English, French, Portuguese, Spanish). Each module is organized around a central topic that will help those who take the course to develop their skills and knowledge. Each module provides - interviews with specialists - quizes - recommended readings - online videos and web links. This MOOC will cover a range of topics, such as epidemiology, historical and geographical dispersion of the virus and its vectors through globalization and climate change, its modes of transmission, but also the symptoms, diagnosis and treatment. The different types of preventive measures will be also covered. A special module will focus on possible neurological adverse effects such as the risk for birth defects (microcephaly) in pregnant women, while another one will examine the peripheral nerve paralysis called the Guillain-Barré syndrome. The fact that Zika presents a significant threat to political and economic stabilities and thus reinforces social inequity through South America will be addressed. The revolution in cultural, religious, and legal norms in front of the expansion of Zika will be also debated. Finally, the last two modules will state the role, recommendations and response measures of policy makers and public health organizations under the light of medias.
Following the tracks of Zika virus
Module 2 relates how Zika virus left the remote African forests towards new destinations across the world partly by globalization and climate change. In this module you will increase your knowledge about the developing of a "love story" with human beings through globalisation. You will also learn how shifts in precipitation levels and temperature caused by climate change, and notably el Niño and la Niña phenomenons, may result into increased survival and/or migration of the virus through vectors into previously non-endemic geographic areas outside the tropical areas. You will also get better knowledge in the characteristics of the recent Zika outbreak in Brazil by local specialists. Dr. Frédéric Simard will start with the relationship between globalization and increased mosquito preference for humans. Then Joint Prof. Aline Philibert and Prof. Antoine Flahault will show you how climate changes can be indirectly and/or directly related to the transmission of Aedes and then Zika virus. Finally, Prof. Aluisio Cotrim Segurado and Prof. Paolo Zanotto of the University of São Paulo will describe the emergence of the outbreak as well as risks and challenges associated with.

Why the Zika has started in the Northeast is something that we are not able
to answer at this time, because to do that we would need to have very good sampling
from what took place from French Polynesia into south America.
We have a gap in terms of sampling information, we're able to find in Sergipe
which is very near the center, it's very hard to say the thing started in Bahia,
because simultaneously we have virus in Sergipe, in Pernambouc,
in the Northeast we are sampling virus more or less from the same time period.
I think it's hard for us to tell when you don't have case notification
where the epidemic has started.
We have samples we know that are positive for Zika from September 2014 in Sergipe
for instance, but the virus had probably been there way before, in the entire
Northeast, we just saw it later, also because it's very similar to dengue.
You're in an area where you have an endemic epidemic dengue spread,
so it started underneath these dengue cases, you probably had Zika transmission going on
and people were not aware of Zika so they were not paying too much attention to it.
So we only started looking at Zika when microcephaly was detected
and when the doctors in the Northeast of Brazil, in Pernambouc initially, started
to say this can be related to Zika.
Then we started to pay attention to Zika, to look at it.
You have to understand that before the microcephaly implication
Zika was considered as a benign disease, it was even considered as something people
should not pay too much attention to, but not only in Brazil, everywhere.

Sex therapist gives five signs your relationship is on the rocks
Kate Plummer
Biggest celebrity breakups of 2022
Cover Media / VideoElephant
A sex and relationship therapist has revealed the signs a relationship might be on the rocks - including partners not having 'their back ' and not asking them questions.
Lauren Consul, 34, has revealed the five signs a relationship is on the demise - including not maintaining curiosity about your partner and your words and actions not aligning.
She said that some couples can feel like roommates as they "lose curiosity and stop asking questions".
Lauren said getting stuck in the content during arguments, rather than talking about the deeper underlying meaning of the argument.
She says being unwilling to take responsibility for the argument and assuming you know each other because you've been together for a long time can both lead to the breakdown of your relationship.

The expert also said not having your partner's back can add to the end of a relationship.
She added that you can come back from the brink by showing your partner that you are willing to change and show awareness of the issues in the relationship.
Lauren, from Los Angeles, California, US, said: "The key is coming back and working together as a team to resolve any issue.
"It's always easy to go apart and a lot harder to come back together.
"It is a lot easier to point the finger at our partner, we are in this cycle together, what you do impacts your partner which then impacts you - behaviours get reinforced."
Lauren says failing to see your partner's perspective can cause issues in a relationship - particularly during arguments.
She said: "Two people can experience the same thing but feel completely differently about it.
"If we get stuck in the 'right sight' we are saying one person's experience is valid and the other is not.
"The best way to overcome this is if we can take a pause and reflect on what we are hearing from our partner and validate them.
"That tells our partner we are listening and what they are saying makes sense - shows we are on the same team.
"The key is coming back and working together as a team to resolve, it is easy to go apart but a lot harder to come back together."
Lauren says another sign your relationship could be on the rocks is if you and your partner don't remain curious about each other.
She warns couples can slip into feeling like roommates - as they lose curiosity and stop asking questions.
She said: "When we start dating, we ask lots of questions and are interested in each other, but over time we forgot or start presuming and stop asking our partner questions.
"It is all about continuing to ask questions - how are they feeling? What are they thinking? And what their long-term goals are."
Lauren said a relationship is about collaboration, understanding and realising you have to work together.
She said: "It is coming together to collaborate and understand what those scenarios mean for each partner.
"A common one I see is that one partner will take the side of their mum or dad or even siblings over their partner and that is really painful for people as it is saying you are not my core family.
"It is that transition of 'we are in this together' - it is about coming together and understanding how you are feeling about this and how can we work on this.
"If you get to that, you can collaborate and find a solution to fix the issue."
Lauren said that you can come back from the brink by showing your partner that you are willing to change and show awareness of the issues in the relationship.
"The first step is awareness but that alone is not enough, we have to have motivation.
"We need to start to recognise how these things are showing up in the relationship and why they are showing up and then we can shift it."
Lauren's five signs that may lead to the demise of your relationship
- Stuck in the content during arguments - you're talking about who did what or who didn't and who's right and who's wrong - rather than talking about the deeper underlying meaning of the argument.
- Not willing to take responsibility for your role in the relationship cycle - you are just saying 'well if my partner would just change or do this differently, everything would be fine.
- You're not maintaining curiosity about your partner, you stop asking questions, and you stop inquiring about their dreams or hopes - you just assume you know because you have been together for a long time
- Your words and actions are not consistently aligning - your partner can't really trust that what you say is inconsistent with what you're gonna do
- You don't have your partner's back - you don't stand up for them, you don't support them. You feel like you guys are more fighting each other than fighting the issues or fighting the world as a team.

Eskom pays R18.3 million in performance bonuses
Home South Africa Eskom pays R18.3 million in performance bonuses
South Africa 23 July 2016
Eskom's Integrated Report 2016 on the entity's financial performance for the 2015/2016 financial year has revealed that Eskom bosses received R 18.3 million in performance bonuses.
This would mean that an average of R 1.6 million in the last financial year was doled-out for 11 Eskom directors and executives for keeping the lights on.
Since the initial electricity blackouts in South Africa in 2008, the National Energy Regulator (Nersa) has granted Eskom an annual average increase of 22% a year for seven years.
Further, earlier this year Eskom was granted a 9.4% electricity tariff hike to be footed by the ordinary South African consumer on top of these exorbitant bonus that should be used to provide stable electricity supply for the countless businesses and households across the country.
Eskom has claimed in the past that bonuses were awarded because the state owned entity has managed to intermittently stave off load-shedding.
"Eskom executives would do well to remember that they have one job, to keep the lights on and that is what their salaries are for.
Since load-shedding began in 2008, Eskom executives have received over R73 million in bonuses excluding the R18.3 million revealed today.
This is an insult to hard-working and poor South Africans who continue to struggle without a stable supply of electricity and basic services," said the Democratic Alliance in a statement.
Energy is the life blood of our economy. Without a stable supply, businesses will not be able to grow, investors will not invest, and ultimately joblessness will increase.


I Burn For You, which version?
As anyone who owns the Bring On The Night double-CD knows, its version of "I Burn For You" is nothing like the version they use for the movie documentary. Omar Hakim ends the song in the movie with a transcendent drum solo, while the CD version never really takes off. Does anyone know which one is in the box set?
Pre-order through Amazon. Use your points. Will be great to have all my favorite songs on just 3 CDs.
So glad this is on the list #8 (I Burn For You)....Cannot wait for Sting's countdown and my own personal countdown....This song was dedicated to my "first kiss" when I was 16 and was living in Santiago, Chile for one summer. Recently I connected with "my first kiss" and we are seeing each other for the first time Sept 29! Now we have 2 reasons for our countdown!
...and no one else has more right to determine what ought to be on it, and what he has picked is a solid running order. Nonetheless, I second Marcelaeg's wish that he had given stronger consideration to more standout non-album tracks like UNTIL, EVERYBODY LAUGHED BUT YOU (available in the U.S. only as a B-Side), LULLABY TO AN ANXIOUS CHILD, or ANGEL EYES, or even some of the instrumental work from THE LIVING SEA. Most of us have these anyway, but remastered versions would have been welcome - and these songs would have been made accessible to a wider audience.
Never mind all this regurgutataed old material. When are we going to get a new album? Is Sting in competition with Elton John to see who can re-release their back catalogue in as many different ways as possible? Not impressed!
Oh, what a great idea to release a box set with the same old songs we have been listening for years and ask fans to pay for Englishman in New York again. Writting new songs after 8 years is asking for too much?
It will compliment my collection beautifully. Is the IP sweat in HD!
Very much looking forward to seeing the IP footage. Is the sweat in HD!
no chance to get the live without the box ?

La famiglia Carrara è una famiglia d'arte di attori teatrali attiva in Italia dal XIX secolo. Le prime notizie documentate su di essa risalgono al 1866, anno in cui nasce Giuseppe, padre di Salvatore e nonno di Tommaso detto Masi. Negli anni tra le due guerre la famiglia Carrara risale la penisola con il Carro di Tespi di Salvatore.

Tommaso Carrara
Nel 1947 Tommaso si sposa con Argia Laurini e fonda la compagnia Carrara-Laurini, costruendo il proprio teatro mobile.

Il nomadismo della compagnia prosegue fino al 1965, quando Tommaso Carrara si stabilisce a Valdagno utilizzando sporadicamente il teatro mobile per le stagioni estive. Nel frattempo consolidano la propria formazione teatrale i figli Titino Carrara, Armando Carrara e Annalisa Carrara.

Negli anni settanta fonda la compagnia "Il Teatro del Mattino", che propone allestimenti teatrali particolarmente studiati per il pubblico delle scuole.

Nel 1975 nasce la cooperativa La Piccionaia I Carrara.

How do you protect the most important information in your business?
Here are 4 reasons why you should seriously consider enterprise digital rights management (EDRM) as part of your file security, data governance and compliance strategy.
Intellectual property (IP) is a critical asset for your business. It lets you create unique products and services that drive your revenue. It differentiates you from the competition and keeps your customers coming back. If this information accidentally or deliberately leaks, you can suffer financial loss and possibly go out of business.
EDRM protects your intellectual property from unauthorized access and controls what an authorized user can do with it. You can enable or prevent the ability to view, edit, print, copy and even take a screen capture of the information. You can control derivatives of documents, since people share IP in PDF or other common formats with both internal and external recipients. Since you have a complete audit trail of user and document activity, you know if someone accessed the documents inside or outside your network. You can also revoke access or change permissions after you distribute a document, if the sensitivity of information changes or those who should have access to it.
Any business that takes credit cards or deals with personal information must protect it from unauthorized access. Regulations such as HIPAA, PCI and numerous data breach laws mandate that third-party data is under strict control and only authorized people can access it. Violations can result in hefty fines and cause major legal and business problems.
Enterprise digital rights management controls how employees and business partners use this sensitive information. It can prevent sharing the data with unauthorized users by controlling access, screen captures and adding visible watermarks to both printed documents and those viewed on a screen or mobile device. The person sharing the sensitive content can restrict access to a trusted browser-based viewer, which prevents a user from downloading it. Since third-party data may have a shelf life, you can limit access to a specific time and revoke access to any distributed files immediately, regardless of location.
HR and other departments have a lot of sensitive employee data, including social security numbers, health information, and the results of drug tests or criminal background checks. Controlling its access and distribution is part of the social and legal compact any employee has with her or his employer.
Enterprise digital rights management can limit access to private information by controlling the users and groups that can see it. You can control access dynamically through your internal access management system so that as roles change in your company, so do access rights.
Regulatory compliance is a requirement for many businesses to prove they can manage critical information in a way that ensures change of custody and proof that only authorized users had access. Compliance is not just a matter of the law, but is generally considered good business practice. Compliant companies can prove they take information security and management seriously and can use this as a selling point to their customers.
Enterprise digital rights management provides an audit trail of all user and file activities to ensure chain of custody of information for electronic discovery. This helps your organization understand the flow of important information and simplifies eDiscovery in the event of litigation.
Enterprise DRM can help you meet information security, regulatory compliance and data governance objectives, ensure privacy, and protect the digital assets of your company. It is the best way to protect your most important business information and get a good night sleep.

Petters blames top associates for alleged scheme
Steve Karnowski, Associated Press
Tom Petters is putting the blame on top associates for the fraud at Petters Co. Inc.
Deanna Coleman and Bob White were vice presidents at PCI - the company the government says was at the heart of a Ponzi scheme that cost investors $3.65 billion.
Petters testified Wednesday he did a large number of legitimate merchandise deals with PCI in the 1990s. But then his involvement with PCI waned and Coleman and White took on greater roles.
He says he wanted to sell off PCI, but Coleman and White stood in his way. He says some of PCI's deals were so troublesome they scared the "bejesus" out of him.
Petters grew emotional on the stand this morning, as he talked about the murder of his son in Italy in 2004.
He says that he spent little time with PCI before the murder and virtually none after it. Instead, he says, he dedicated himself to charitable work.
Petters faces 20 counts of wire fraud, mail fraud, conspiracy and money-laundering. Coleman and White have admitted to forging documents and have pleaded guilty.
Petters, on witness stand, denies knowing of fraud
Prosecution rests in Petters trial


Sonora, CA...From the Tuolumne Sheriff's Office...."Tuolumne County, you are our eyes and ears out in the community. We need your help in our search for a car thief. Around 2 o'clock in the morning on Saturday, one of our deputies was driving west on Campo Seco Road in Jamestown when he saw a silver Jeep SUV stopped in the eastbound lane with its headlights on. When the deputy passed the vehicle, he heard the Jeep start and then jump forward before stalling.
When the deputy moved behind the vehicle to assist, the driver got out and took off running. Several deputies searched the area for the man but were unable to find him. The deputies did find a broken wood fence that led to a home on Oakmont Court and a camouflage, flat bill baseball hat on top of a shed.
The steering column of the Jeep and ignition assembly were damaged and discovered on the passenger seat. Deputies contacted the registered owner of the vehicle who confirmed it had been stolen on Friday night from her home on Preston Lane in Jamestown.
If anyone has any information or remembers seeing anything suspicious in the areas of Campo Seco Road or Preston Lane Apartments on that evening, please call us at 209-533-5815."
Dreamy sounds like your son.

Q: Association named 'echo_producer_apis' was not found on EchoProducerApi; perhaps you misspelled it? I think I am doing some naming error so please help me out...!!
class EchoProducerApi < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_one :echo_practice_api
end

class EchoPracticeApi < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :echo_producer_apis
end

@producer_data = EchoProducerApi.joins(:echo_producer_apis).select("echo_practice_apis.*,echo_producer_apis.*").paginate(:page => params[:page] , :per_page => 10)

A: Change
belongs_to :echo_producer_apis

to
belongs_to :echo_producer_api

With belongs_to :echo_producer_apis, Rails will look for a class name called EchoPracticeApis, but you have EchoPracticeApi. That's why it is not working. Change to the association name will fix it.
Note: Generally association name for belongs_to and has_one should be a singular.

A: Remember Rails relationships and associations are self-explanatory. belongs_to essentially means that an instance of your object belongs_to only one object of other class, therefore you should specify it as a singular value. Hence you should change from:
class EchoPracticeApi < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :echo_producer_apis
end

To:
class EchoPracticeApi < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :echo_producer_api
end

Spokane County United Way names John Dickson as new president, CEO

Spokane County United Way has selected John Dickson – most recently the chief operations officer for Spokane County – as its new president and chief executive officer, the organization has announced.

Dickson will succeed Tim Henkel, who is retiring this month after more than 14 years as president and CEO of the local United Way.

Paul Read, Spokane Journal of Business publisher and former Spokane County United Way board chairman, led the 10-member search committee for Henkel's successor.

Dickson stood out among a group of 40 applicants because of his unique background that combines servant leadership with engineering and organizational management skills, Read said Monday.

"He came across as someone who really cared about people," Read.

"We are thrilled to have John on board," he said. "We think he can lead the United Way team and volunteers on this next chapter."

During his eight years with the county, Dickson was responsible for working with more than 50 departments to improve operational performance and leading development and implementation of the county's strategic objectives and core values, according to a company release.

In 2015, Dickson helped the county obtain a MacArthur Foundation Safety and Justice Challenge grant to reduce racial and ethnic disparities in jails. This year, he created the county's process to request and distribute Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act funding.

"I look forward to the opportunity to continue to serve the people of this community. Collaboration and engagement with many partners is a hallmark of United Way," Dickson said in a statement. "I saw that from my role at the county and I am excited to step into this role and further the mission of United Way."

United Way of Spokane County conducted an extensive search process and reviewed dozens of resumes from local and national candidates. The search committee was comprised of current and former Spokane County United Way board members as well as community representatives, according to the organization.

"The search committee did an excellent job reviewing and vetting many great candidates," Dr. Frank Velazquez, United Way Board chairman and Spokane County health officer, said in a statement. "The board is impressed with the depth of expertise that John will bring to his role with United Way. John is a strong servant leader who has successfully led many organizations through periods of change."

Dickson will be begin his new role Nov. 22.Amy Edelen can be reached at (509) 459-5581 or at amye@spokesman.com.

Q: TSP: Approximation Ratio of the Double Tree Heuristic after Diagonals have been Removed In their article "Double-Tree Approximations for the Metric TSP: Is the Best One Good Enough?", Vladimir Deineko and Alexander Tiskin derive a lower bound for the approximation ratio of the double-tree heuristic (cf e.g. the paper by Vygen http://www.or.uni-bonn.de/~vygen/files/optima.pdf ) by considering a set of points in convex configuration:
http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download;jsessionid=670C2A1BE3622BB312C0440F4162A92A?doi=10.1.1.10.6157&rep=rep1&type=pdf and the approximate solution contains diagonals of the convex hulls.
Question:
are there known bounds on the approximation ratio of the double tree heuristic when applied to TSP instances from which edges have been removed that provably can't belong to the optimal solution (most notably the diagonals of the convex hull in the planar euclidean case, or also as described by Jonker and Volgenant "Nonoptimal Edges for the Symmetric Traveling Salesman Problem" or, the generalized graph diagonals as described here: Non-trivial lower bound on the number of "Graph Diagonals")?


FREE BOOKS – ALL OF "WHEN WE WERE MARRIED" IS BEING GIVEN AWAY FREE F0R THE FIRST AND PROBABLY ONLY TIME ever!! THIS WEEK FROM MIDNIGHT MARCH 2 THROUGH MARCH 8 ON SMASHWORDS.
As part of Smashwords "E-book week", a promotion they hold once a year, I decided to try a giveaway for one week. It might be seen by some new readers. Also, I hope that a lot fo the people who read the serial on Literotica will take the chance to pick up a free copy. I had said before that about 90-95 percent of The Long Fall was online, but that five percent is I think fairly important. I added material and changed some things around. "Second Acts" was about 70 percent on line, but the ending never appeared on line. And finally "the wind is rising" has never been anywere but in e-book format. The important thing about it being on smashwords is that you can order it in virtually any format – they sell the kindle version,nook, various other platforms plus a simple version that can be read on any laptop.
This would be a perfect chance for anyone who hasn't seen the series in the (nearly) final form to look it over and if you haven't read the third book, to get it for free. Which will tie in to the fourth book, "the past never dies" whichI am writing now and hope to get it out by April. that will still be a year between books. but better late I hope than never.
Anybody that thinks they might know somebody that would like the books has a perfect chance to gift the books for free.
and, of course, if anybody feels compelled to drop me a line or send in any reviews, I would not be offended.

As for most teachers, summer holidays for me mean preparing next year's programmes. This isn't really a hardship, for once I'm not too tired to research and think up some fun stuff.
This September we are improving our English programme for native speakers. Although we are a French speaking secondary school we have a sprinkling of "bilinguals". I use the term lightly, is anyone really bilingual?
These pupils range from having studied in England for years to having grandparents in the States they see once a year, so obviously the levels vary.
Despite the mixed ability, and an age range from 9 to 15 I absolutely adore teaching this class. It's not an official part of the curriculum, ther are no exams or result pressure so we can do exactly what we want.
Have you got any more ideas for me?
