Home - Tier 2 Intra company transfer Visa
Tier 2 intra company transfer visa route is aimed at multinational companies based overseas that wish to transfer existing staff (who can prove they have worked for the company overseas for at least 12 months) from a country outside the EEA to the UK branch of the same company. There is a minimum salary requirement (at least 40,000 pounds and at least the minimum salary required for the specific job type under the codes of practice), but under this sub category a Resident Market Labour Test is not required. Applicants can apply for settlement (Indefinite Leave to Remain) after spending a continuous 5-year period in the UK in this capacity or in combination with other categories.
The important elements the applicant needs to meet are as follows:
Have worked for a parent company overseas for at least 12 months which has a UK branch that holds a UKVI Sponsor Licence;
Have been issued a certificate of sponsorship by the UK branch who want to transfer the employee from the overseas company to the UK branch of the same company;
Score enough points for their 'attributes';
Have enough money for their living costs in the United Kingdom;
If applying from inside the UK (for leave that would extend the stay under this category to over 3 years) to meet the (basic) English Language requirement.
Companies can choose from one of the four sub categories listed below under which to transfer their employee depending on the company's goals and objectives:
Long Term Staff – for companies who want to transfer an established and skilled member of staff to the UK branch for 12 months or more;
Short Term Staff – for companies who want to transfer an established and skilled member of staff to the UK branch for less than 12 months;
Graduate Trainee – for companies to send a recent graduate member of staff to the UK branch as part of their graduate training programme with a view to giving them a managerial or specialist role in the company;
Skills Transfer – for companies who want to send a member of staff to the UK branch to either learn from the UK company how to use their skills and knowledge to work overseas or to share with the UK company the skills and knowledge that they possess.
We help a whole range of companies of varying sizes to transfer their staff from their overseas branch to their UK counterpart. They often inform us of how grateful they are for us helping them to make this process as smooth as possible. If you are a company or an individual and are interested in this category then please book a consultation with us.

Today was a great day. I recovered from my fabulous first mothers day, had a client meeting with an October Mix Mingle and Glow Bride, got some editing in, went canoeing with Josh out on the Bay, had a yummy dinner and got to blog Brandi and Mike engagement session! Brandi and Mike flew down from Chicago for their engagement session a few weeks ago in Aly's Beach. We had great time and luckily the rain held out for our shoot. I am so very excited for their Carillon Beach Wedding next April. Here are my favorites from their engagement shoot. Enjoy and I hope you had a wonderful day as well.

Scrivi un programma che effettui una richiesta HTTP GET ad un URL fornito come primo argomento da riga di comando. Scrivi il contenuto di **ciascun** evento "data" della risposta come una stringa su una nuova riga della console (stdout).

----------------------------------------------------------------------
## SUGGERIMENTI

Per questo esercizio avrai bisogno di usare il modulo core `http`.

La documentazione del modulo `http` può essere ottenuta puntando il tuo browser a questo indirizzo:
  {rootdir:/node_apidoc/http.html}

Il metodo `http.get()` è una scorciatoia per semplici richieste GET, usalo per semplificare la tua soluzione. Il primo argomento di `http.get()` può essere l'URL che desideri richiedere con GET; fornisci una callback come secondo argomento.

Diversamente da altre funzioni callback, questa ha la firma:

```js
function callback (response) { /* ... */ }
```

In cui l'oggetto `response` è un oggetto **Stream** di Node. Puoi trattare gli Stream di Node come oggetti che emettono eventi.
I tre eventi di maggiore interesse sono: "data", "error" ed "end".
Puoi metterti in ascolto di un evento in questo modo:

```js
response.on("data", function (data) { /* ... */ })
```

L'evento "data" è emesso quando un frammento di dati è disponibile e può essere processato. La dimensione del frammento dipende dalla fonte dati sottostante.

L'oggetto `response` / Stream che ottieni da `http.get()` ha anche un metodo `setEncoding()`. Se chiami questo metodo con "utf8", gli eventi "data" emetteranno oggetti String anziché oggetti standard `Buffer` di Node che dovrai esplicitamente convertire in stringhe.

The death toll from a US drone strike in Pakistan's troubled northwestern tribal Waziristan region has risen to 12 after tribesmen pulled more bodies from debris.
The strike from CIA-operated spy drones was the fourth this month in North Waziristan region.
Since August 2008, nearly 60 such attacks by US spy planes have killed more than 550 people in the volatile region.
Earlier reports said four people were killed in the latest lethal incident which took place around five kilometers (three miles) northwest of Miransha in the North Waziristan tribal district on Thursday night.
Local residents told Press TV correspondent in Peshawar that at least a dozen people lost their lives in the attack.
The death toll is expected to rise as some of the injured were said to be in critical condition.
The drone planes continued low-altitude flights in several towns of Waziristan region over the past weeks.
The air strikes, which are common in Pakistan, allegedly target pro-Taliban militants in the tribal belt bordering Afghanistan.
However, Pakistani media outlets say only one-sixth of the raids have managed to target militant hideouts.
The developments come at a time when Washington is expanding its embassy and deploying more 'security guards' in Pakistan.
The civilian and military authorities in Islamabad publicly oppose the US missile strikes, saying they violate the country's territorial integrity and sovereignty.
Despite the presence of over 100,000 troops in the war-torn country, Afghanistan is witnessing the highest level of violence since the 2001 invasion.
Senior Pakistani officials say NATO's wrong policies were to be blamed for increasing insurgency in the troubled South Asian region.


We've all had stuff happen to us that really embarrasses us, sometimes immediately and sometimes after the fact.
In my first year of University I roomed next door to 2 engineering students in the dorms, and every weekend they would throw parties. One Saturday I went over and they were playing a drinking game called wizard staff, which involves taping beer cans together.
I didn't have any beer but didn't want to feel left out, so I brought a 750mL bottle of Jagermeister. Every time they took a sip, so did I. Trying to keep pace with people drinking beer using hard liquor proved to be a mistake, and I drank about 2/3 of the bottle in ~20 minutes. Now, when I drink, I get vertigo, and in this case it was bad enough to make me sick.
I vomit in the sink. The girl using the toilet chose that exact moment to emerge, and when she saw what I was doing she told the hosts of the party. [She admitted she was the reason I couldn't use the toilet, but I was still too embarrassed to stay. I went back to my room and passed out for a couple hours.
So, what's your most embarrassing story?

Talk examines political, societal consequences of oil
Lecture stresses complex role of U.S. government in oil trade, countries' economic disparities
By Frances Chen
For the problems caused by oil, "We can't just blame African countries and oil companies, we must also examine the actions of our own government and lifestyles," said Kairn Klieman, associate professor of history at the University of Houston in a lecture entitled "The Politics of Oil Dependence."
Addressing a small group gathered in the Science Center, Klieman's talk — the last in the six-part "Carbon Nations" series — presented her research on how America's dependence on oil has caused political corruption. The lecture was sponsored by the Department of History, the Taubman Center for Public Policy and American Institutions and the Institute at Brown for Environment and Society.
Klieman opened the lecture by describing the "oil curse" — the concept that the discovery of oil in a country leads to poverty, turmoil and government corruption. Though oil revenues bring wealth to a country, the money usually only goes to the few in power, instead of to average citizens, she said. Nigeria is one country that has been plagued by this "curse" and has been led by 15 different governments since 1960. The percentage of Nigerians living under the poverty line, defined as making $1.25 U.S. dollars per day, has risen from 27 percent in 1981 to 70 percent in 2010, Klieman said.
Most historians cast blame on these problems using the "evil oil company trope," Klieman said. But this approach oversimplifies the situation, as it is also necessary to examine the U.S. government's actions in relation to the oil industry, she added. During World War II, a plan for a trans-African resupply route was created due to a need for oil. President Franklin D. Roosevelt approved the plan even though U.S. involvement in this route violated the 1939 Neutrality Act. Since this involvement was illegal, Roosevelt did not seek Congress' approval and instead used emergency presidential funds to finance the project.
Klieman then described Equatorial Guinea's "oil curse." With just 700,000 inhabitants, Guinea is one of the wealthiest nations. But instead of being distributed among all citizens, this wealth remains concentrated within the family in power. This money is currently in the hands of President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, known as Obiang, who rose to power by murdering his uncle. The President's son, known as Teodorin, spends millions of dollars on mansions in foreign countries while more than 70 percent of the country's population earns less than a dollar a day, Klieman said.
Klieman said she once attended a lecture in Houston, Texas during which the Texas secretary of state declared an "Equatorial Guinea Day," shocking her and inspiring her to complete her research. Klieman showed the audience a photo of the Obamas meeting Obiang and his wife, which she said went against Obama's 2008 promises.

Camp Murphy
Posted on January 7, 2015 by Josh
Imagine it's 1943, in the midst of World War II, and you've stopped in at a lunch counter in Stuart, Florida. In making small talk with the uniformed soldier sitting next to you, you learn that he's stationed at nearby Camp Murphy. You ask what he's training for, and he shrugs and nonchalantly replies that he's in radio school.
As the old adage goes, that's what they all say. In reality, Camp Murphy was home to a secret radar training program established by the 801st Signal Training Regiment of the U.S. Army. The Army Signal Corps had been experimenting with radar since the 1930s at its school in Fort Monmouth, New Jersey. With a war underway, however, the need for trained radar technicians was growing rapidly, so the Corps decided to open up a new location someplace with better year-round weather.

The Martin County site the Corps selected was perfect for the task at hand. The camp was constructed on a tract of about 8,000 acres located between U.S. Highway 1 and the Florida East Coast Railway near Hobe Sound. The dense forest covering much of the land was ideal for concealing the operation. As new buildings were constructed, the builders painted them a dull green to help them blend in with their surroundings. Roads criss-crossed the property, but in a haphazard pattern rather than in a grid. No trees were cut unless it was absolutely necessary. The idea was to camofluage the installation as well as possible.
The camp was named for U.S. Army Colonel William Herbert Muprhy, a pioneer researcher in the radar field whose aircraft had been shot down over Indonesia by the Japanese. Construction began in March 1942 and was far enough along for the camp to open in less than three months' time.
A classroom building once used at Camp Murphy (1957).
Once complete, Camp Murphy was almost a city unto its own. It had a railway station, post office, cinema, library, and bowling alley, in addition to the usual accouterments of an Army training base. Although the soldiers training at the camp traveled often to nearby Jensen Beach, Hobe Sound, and Stuart, they were sworn to keep the true purpose of the base secret. This was also the case for the numerous local civilians who worked on the base as nurses, secretaries, carpenters, and general laborers.
The average training course at Camp Murphy required about five months to complete. Classes on radio and radar operation were interspersed with target practice and combat training, aided by the dense vegetation covering the property.
By the end of 1944, the camp had served its purpose, and the Army Signal Corps chose to close up shop. Most of the camp's equipment was shipped up to Fort Monmouth in New Jersey, or to Camp Crowder in Missouri. The buildings and property became surplus, subject to disposition by the U.S. War Assets Administration.

After the war, several possible uses were proposed for the camp. In 1946, state officials contemplated using the base as a new tuberculosis sanatorium. The idea was eventually withdrawn, on account of Camp Murphy's isolation and the difficulty of getting personnel and supplies to the area. Senator George Smathers offered the installation as a candidate when the Air Force began looking for a new location for an academy. Although Senator Smathers did his best to sell Camp Murphy and its seasonable climate, this plan also fell through.
Ultimately, Camp Murphy ended up becoming a state park in 1950. It was called Jonathan Dickinson State Park, named after a man who was shipwrecked in the area in 1696 with his family. Native Americans discovered the family and other survivors, but permitted them to travel north to their home in Pennsylvania.

Search team still can not find the black boxes of the AirAsia plane
Divers were prevented this Thursday to find the black boxes of the AirAsia Flight 8501, which they expect are still in place in the newly discovered tail of the aircraft, due to strong currents and murky water.
The devices that record flight data and cockpit sound, are in the rear area of the ship and are crucial to help determine what caused the accident of the aircraft, disappeared on December 28 with 162 people on board.
Divers took a brief lull in the weather on Thursday to try to identify the black boxes, but failed to work amid strong waves and a visibility of 1 meter (3 feet), said the head of the agency for Search and Rescue, Henry Bambang Soelistyo.
Based on the images taken by divers, the expert said he believes that the black boxes are still in their original location.
Furthermore, three more bodies were found on Thursday, raising the total to 43 victims recovered, said Suryadi B. Surpiyadi, coordinator of search and rescue operations.
Meanwhile, teams of experts from Indonesia and France were considering other options, such as lifting the wreckage with a crane, said Nucahyo Utomo, a researcher at the National Transport Safety Commission.

AJ McLean Talks Recent Relapse, Recovery & Self-Care
By Victoria Kim 11/16/18
"I have no shame in saying, I've relapsed over the past year. It's no secret that this is a disease, and that it's a daily struggle."
The Backstreet Boys are wrapping up their Las Vegas residency and are gearing up for their world tour in 2019, which will hit 27 countries—the boy band's largest arena tour in 18 years.
AJ McLean, who is in recovery, is up for the challenge. The Backstreet Boy has been to rehab in 2001, 2002 and 2011 for depression and alcohol use, according to People.
Over the years, he's learned a few hard lessons about recovery.
"Sometimes, you're just going to have the worst days possible," he said. It's a daily struggle. "You have to make it a lifestyle, you truly do. It doesn't mean that you can't have fun, and can't be yourself."
Seeing recovery as a journey and not a destination also helps McLean stay grounded. "It's not like, okay, I'm sober, it's done. I'll never drink again. No. You have to work at it daily."
By maintaining this mindset, McLean is not ashamed to acknowledge his mistakes as a person in recovery. "Look, I have no shame in saying, I've relapsed over the past year. It's no secret that this is a disease, and that it's a daily struggle."
As a father of two young daughters, McLean says it's easy to forget about his own needs. "You know, it's interesting about sobriety with family and with kids—you still have to put yourself first, and that's been a real big struggle for me."
But it's important to balance his family's needs with his own, McLean says. "It will win if you don't take care of yourself."
"Because I'm still very codependent, I'm Mr. People Pleaser… I want to make sure everyone's cool," he said. "[But] if you do that too often, then you forget about taking care of yourself, and you do tend to get lost in the sauce. And that's happened to me numerous times."
After the death of Mac Miller in September, McLean mourned the loss of the young rapper.
"I met him a couple of times at radio shows and he was a stand-up guy," he told Entertainment Tonight in a previous interview. "You would never know that he had a problem—but a lot of people had no idea that I had a problem. Addicts can hide it pretty well, so all my condolences go to his family and friends. He's another one gone too soon."
The Backstreet Boys' upcoming 10th album is due on January 25, 2019. Then in May, they will embark on their DNA World Tour.

Substance Abuse Treatment Considered Life-Sustaining
Written by Juliana on April 6, 2020
Substance Abuse Treatment Considered Life Sustaining
Secretary of Health Dr. Rachel Levine emphasized Saturday — during a virtual press conference — that substance abuse treatment remains important and available during the current COVID-19 crisis. Before the pandemic, according to Dr. Levine, it was the opioid crisis that was the biggest public healthcare challenge in Pennsylvania and the nation. And it remains a top issue.
"It is critical that Pennsylvanians know that even in these challenging times, help is available," said Levine.
She stressed that drug and alcohol treatment providers are open and continue to accept patients suffering from substance abuse disorders. And that this can be an especially difficult time for those in recovery.
"Treatment for substance abuse disorder is considered a life-sustaining activity that you need to continue to receive."
Many who support meetings such as AA and DA continue to meet virtually. And Levine says that if residents must meet in person, they can do so wearing masks and keeping social distancing. The department of drug and alcohol programs has a list of resources at www.ddap.pa.gov.

7 shot dead as Cameroon Anglophone protest for independence 0
Police and the military in Cameroon have shot dead at least seven Anglophone people as member of the community continue protesting for independence from the majority Francophone nation.
The unrest took place Sunday on the anniversary of Anglophone Cameroon's independence from Britain in the country's English-speaking regions.
Five prisoners were killed in the jail where they were being held in the town of Kumbo. Donatus Njong Fonyuy, mayor of the town said a fire erupted in the jail and soldiers shot dead five prisoners at around 6 a.m. (0500 GMT).
"We don't know what caused the fire in the prison … But five prisoners were killed by soldiers. Two were wounded by bullets and are at the hospital," said the official, adding that two civilians were also injured in the incident.
Reports said soldiers shot dead a demonstrator in the same town after he attempted to raise the blue and white flag of the Ambazonia separatist movement in the local chief's palace. Two demonstrators who had raised the flag were also shot and wounded around midday.
Security forces attempted to block pro-independence marchers from entering the city of Buea, a major hub of protests. Witnesses said one protester was killed in the clashes on the edge of the city.
A similar protest was held in Bamenda where young men brandishing improvised secessionist flags clashed with security forces. Police used tear gas to disperse protesters trying to march on the regional governor's office. There was no account of casualties in Bamenda.
Security was high in Buea and Bamenda as military helicopters circled overhead and businesses remained shuttered for the entire day. Troops from the Cameroonian army's Rapid Intervention Brigade, a unit known for its fight against the militants of Nigeria-based Boko Haram group, were also deployed in the two cities. There were also reports of gunfire although it was not clear whether they targeted the protesters or were only fired in the air.
In anticipation of the protests in English-speaking regions, authorities had ordered Cameroon's border with Nigeria closed for the weekend. All gatherings of more than four people had been banned and movement between different parts of the region had been forbidden.

Police and the military have yet to comment on the shootings that led to deaths Sunday. A security source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said security forces were taking restraint in dealing with the fresh bout of violence.
"We won't use violence unless there is major cause. There are numerous risks, even terrorist risks. We're keeping calm," said the source.
The months-long protests are viewed as a sign of increasing dissatisfaction with President Paul Biya's 35-year rule.
Biya said the acts of violence, "regardless of their source and their perpetrators", were deplorable.
"Let me make this very clear: it is not forbidden to voice any concerns in the Republic. However, nothing great can be achieved by using verbal excesses, street violence, and defying authority," the president wrote on his official Facebook account.
Cameroon, a former German colony under the name of Kamerun, was divided between the allied French and British victors at the end of World

Belford Roxo Futebol Clube é uma agremiação esportiva da cidade de Belford Roxo, no estado do Rio de Janeiro, fundada a 28 de março de 2014. O clube foi idealizado e é dirigido por Alexandre Coelho, conta com o apoio da Prefeitura Municipal de Belford Roxo. Inicialmente, entre 2014 e 2015, possuía parceria com o Nova Iguaçu Futebol Clube. Atualmente o clube está licenciado de competições profissionais.

História
O Belford Roxo, foi oficialmente apresentado pelo seu idealizador Alexandre Coelho, no dia 28 de março de 2014. Com a presença do prefeito Denis Dautmann, que empolgado discursou sobre a nova agremiação e a importância para a cidade. Foi apresentado o primeiro treinador Luisinho Quintanilha, ex-jogador do Vasco da Gama e da Seleção Brasileira. Utilizando o estádio Nielsen Louzada em Mesquita.

Cabe relembrar que o primeiro Belford Roxo Futebol Clube foi criado só jogou um único campeonato, o da Terceira Divisão, na prática a Quarta de Profissionais do estado do Rio de Janeiro de 1995, no qual conquistou o vice-campeonato ao perder a final para o Tio Sam Esporte Clube, de Niterói. Contudo, após a perda da eleição para vereador pela sua cidade, o presidente Rogério da Natural, proprietário do restaurante que dá nome à sua alcunha, resolveu descontinuar as atividades da equipe, que teria direito ao acesso de divisão para o ano seguinte.

O time utilizava as dependências do estádio José de Alvarenga, pertencente ao Heliópolis Atlético Clube, para o mando de seus jogos. Problemas financeiros do proprietário foram a causa da breve aparição do clube nos campeonatos de âmbito profissional.

Em 2014, se resolveu reviver o Belford Roxo Futebol Clube. Sem nenhuma ligação com o extinto clube da cidade, o clube realizou uma parceria com o Santa Cruz Futebol Clube para jogar o Campeonato Estadual da Série C.

2014: O ano da estreia
2014 - No ano da sua estreia nos profissionais disputa a Série C, o clube realiza parceria com o Nova Iguaçu, recebendo 9 atletas e monta seu time base, fica em primeiro em seu grupo, na frente de Artsul, Heliópolis, Futuro Bem Próximo e Condor. Na segunda fase, foi o quarto. Acaba sendo eliminado pois apenas os 3 primeiros se classificavam para os playoffs, na fase final subiram Gonçalense, São Gonçalo FC, São Cristóvão e Barcelona.

2015: O primeiro acesso
2015 - Um ano após sua estreia, o clube cumpre o planejamento de seu presidente e conquista o acesso inédito a Série B do Carioca, utilizando o estádio Telê Santana como sua casa. Ficando em segundo lugar na fase classificatória e ganhando nos playoffs contra o Duquecaxiense, como o primeiro jogo disputado no estádio Luso Brasileiro foi 1x1, o Belford Roxo precisava apenas de um empate para garantir o acesso, em jogo emocionante na Rua Bariri o time da cidade do amor vence por 3x2 de virada e garante o acesso à Série B de 2016.

2016-atualmente: Fim da parceria com o Santa Cruz
2016 - Depois de obter o acesso a Série B de 2016, o clube perde a vaga para o Santa Cruz que disputou o campeonato e foi rebaixado para a Série B2 do ano seguinte.

Atualmente o clube está afastado temporariamente das competições oficiais, sem previsão de volta.

How to sum all positive values in Excel based on whether the associated data in another column is unique?
In column A are names of clients. Some clients have multiple accounts and each account has a separate balance in my list of data, but many clients have only one account. The client name appears in column A for every account they have in column B. So if they have three accounts, they appear three times in column A. The account names are in column B. The balances are in column C and can be either positive or negative depending on account activity from month to month.
I need to sum all POSITIVE balances for all clients with only one account.
I need this formula to ensure that our NET payments to clients, less the result of this formula, equals our total balance for all accounts for the month. Since we process NET payments to our clients with more than one account, I can't simply add up all positive balances. It has to be all positive balances for only those clients with one account. We have anywhere from 250 to 300 accounts to process each month, so being able to double check our balances is really helpful.
This formula only returns 0 no matter what. I have also tried this without wrapping the SUMIFS in a SUM function (which also returns a 0), but all the research I've done points to the version above being correct. I'm hoping to understand my mistake, not just be provided with a formula that works.
SUMIFS() is optimized and you can't put countif in the criteria.


American marksmen will soon be able to own a piece of history, thanks to an amendment to the 2018 National Defense Authorization Act approved by the House of Representatives.
The amendment, introduced by Rep Mike Rogers, R-Ala., would begin the transfer of the U.S. Army's remaining stock of Colt M1911A1 pistols to the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) to be sold to the public.
In 2015, President Obama signed the 2016 National Defense Authorization Act, which included language to permit the sale of up to 10,000 of these WWII-era firearms per year to the public. The transfer was never implemented, however, because the language of the law stipulated that the army "may transfer" the pistols. Rogers' amendment changes that language to "shall transfer," thus ensuring that this time the guns are actually handed over to the CMP to be sold.
The government will save approximately $200,000 per year by moving these weapons out of storage and giving them to the CMP, according to Rogers' office.
The CMP is a government-chartered program that promotes firearm safety training and education to U.S. citizens, focusing on youth. Any qualified U.S. citizen who is not legally prohibited from owning or purchasing a firearm is permitted to purchase a military surplus weapon from the CMP "for marksmanship." The CMP sells government-surplus M1 Garands, .22 caliber target rifles, and other firearms.

Fables even deals with social and political topics such as segregation, mixed marriages, death penalties, government, the difficulties and sacrifices of war, the importance of neighboring allies, the transfer of power, and the aftermath of dethroning. It is by and large my favorite comic book on the shelf and since I only read it in its collected form (which is published every 4 or 5 months) with every release of a new Fables book there is a small celebration that takes place in my belly and in my veins, my skin tingles and my eyes light up and I do a little dance and very likely sing a silly song that may go something like - I love Fables it's so great, it makes my heart palpitate! The journeys that they take me on, is probably what prompted this silly song! I love Fables it's so fun, it makes my legs just want to run! Down a hill and up a creek! All over a land that sure looks bleak! Sometimes in the stories when people die, I hang my head and my eyes cry. I wonder why, why did he have to go? When clearly he was good and they loved him so! But I don't linger and I don't fret, cause Fables soldiers on like a wounded pet! I love Fables I love it best, I hold the book tight close to my chest! Weeee! Fables!
And now you know what a dork I am. Welcome to the party.

You're right (Isn't it nice to hear that?). It HAS been too long since our last Tips & Tricks post, so let's dive right in.
1. We'll be your "Bridge over troubled water". Please make sure to reach out to us when there is a concern about maintaining fidelity. This often occurs in the form of your own or co-facilitator's emergencies and illnesses. Our office should always be contacted and informed so that we can either confirm that your "back up plan" falls within fidelity, fill in when possible, or help you create a Plan B. Remember that we are also always here for guidance in non-emergency situations as well. If it is your first workshop, your first workshop in a while, or anywhere in between, we are here to help!
2."What we want, baby you got it". We collect data because we want you to get the R-E-S-P-E-C-T you deserve for all you've accomplished. Please make sure that you are matching the correct paperwork to your session (Take Charge of You Diabetes paperwork and Take Charge of Your Health paperwork is not identical). Paperwork can be found on the facilitator intranet portal and is separated by workshop topic and language.
3. We're going to "Say a little prayer" for all of you that send us Attendance Sheets where the names are clearly printed (by the facilitators) and there are no scribbles anywhere. Although many of you have beautiful script, the cursive can be hard to read sometimes, so please when you're filling these out.
This also applies to the Telligen paperwork. Please make sure participant names are written on all forms. We appreciate it more than you could imagine!
4. The SMRC is asking us all to "Think". Many of you have expressed a desire to provide feedback about the Take Charge of Your Health program and facilitator manual and the time is here. The SMRC (Self-Management Resource Center) is actively looking for feedback and you can do this by completing the survey found here. This link is open to the public so you may share this with past participants as well.
Just remember that the feedback should be for the workshop, not the book.
They plan on closing the feedback period by next Monday, September 17th, so don't delay!

Territory claims are casual unfriendly, even to veteran players.
Territory claims are casual unfriendly, ...
We need to find a way to standardize territory claims and to make them easily understandable.
I'm a veteran player, so I'm unlikely to get a pass like some newbie, so please believe me when I tell you that one of the reasons I don't log in as often, or for as long as I used to is not knowing who I might piss off, or how.
I shouldn't have to be a freaking scholar to avoid conflict.
This isn't in crowdforging, because it will likely take another year before game mechanics handle this, and knowing this playerbase, you'll thwart the game mechanics, anyway. If you want to crowdforge game mechanics on territoriality, start a new thread in crowdforging.
This is more of a plea to the people making claims to make this easy on casual players who would consider respecting your claims if it didn't require being both a scholar and a lawyer.
I'll also add that the new trend of claiming escalations in the forums is sort of goofy because in many games, players (including me in most of the games I play) don't read the forums. The reason I read them in PFO is because the forums make an empty game seem less empty. It probably works in PFO, now, because everyone does read forums, but there will come a day when people prefer to play the game to reading the forums.

I hope you are aware of the irony that most claims are being done for casual players (by their settlements) and that the latest rage quit was because such a claim wasn't upheld.
It doesn't mean I disagree that we need better ways to handle this. But this will be a general problem - how do we deal with limited resources in a sandbox that is populated by both - hard core grinders and casual players. I guess this is where settlements and settlement leadership as well as game mechanics need to work with each other.
Leadership in settlements needs to ensure casuals get their share - mechanics need to ensure they are able to keep that share for their own people. At the moment only the first seems to happen - leaders try to ring fence resources for their own members which includes (hopefully) casuals.
How to deal with claims mechanically? Well - you might have noticed me selling the Spire. In absence of Golgothan leadership in the game this seemed the only way to ensure my own interests are ensured. The irony is that the monster hex on ZKM might become the last unclaimed one.
Thod/Theodum are the OOC/IC leaders of the Emerald Lodge - a neutral settlement in the center of the mal that tries to the first to explore the Emerald Spire - should that part of the game ever become available. We have a strong in game and out of game relationship with the Pathfinder Society.
We welcome both hard core players as well as casual players with or without tabletop experience. We have a strong group in Europe and are slowly expanding into the US. We are predominately PvE as our neutral political stance means that we tend to use PvP only in self-defence. We are not anti-PVP - but expect limited PvP opportunity with us.
Paddy Fitzpatrick 06.05.2016 11:01
It is more like how do we handle a game that apparently is about controlling territory when the mechanics for real territory control dont seem to exist? There is also no way to win or lose a war if people wanna come to blows over it so its basically a catch 22.
Now look, I am againat this whole territory by fiat thing too but i and others have been trying to come up with alternatives. This escalation thing at least gained some traction but when it was suggested to base territory claims on holdings (in other words, according to the ACTUAL mechanics as they are now), that kinda got shot down. So options right now are territory by fiat, no territory at all, or this sort of in between thing with escalations. Nothing else has caught on.
Plus, with no way to win or lose wars, seems the only thing that results is more ragequits. Im beginning to worry that the only way to truly win a war is grief till your opponent leaves the game or something.
So yeah this current system may be out of whack, but if any of yall got any better ideas then by all means toss em out. But then ya of course better make sure everyone else accepts your idea, cause if ya dont got a big enough group to back you up if someone else challenges or you dont offer any solutions then it will be a waste of time.

There are at least 3 BASIC belief systems that I can see about "Territorial Claims". All are quite different and all have some variations amongst them. None of the current groups that "claim" territory kill on sight(that I am aware of) without a healthy dose of warnings. That wasn't always the case with all areas BEFORE there were even more than a single public claim. In fact only one or a few areas were KOS and they were NOT publicized that this was the situation there. It was experience and word on the street, if my memory serves me correctly.
Before and NOW, this is all sandbox stuff. Players using sand in ways that are allowed by the game creators. It is on the players to recognize or not to recognize. We, so far, all seem perfectly willing to educate unknowing folks with warnings and explanations.
I will go along and say that having a single reference-able map and info access-able easily would be a good thing.
Thod hits the nail on the head, it's really a generally good thing as it restricts the behavior of the most active player groups from dominating the map. The very root of the recent conflict was that a group of us was grabbing every worthwhile escalation we could. Casuals could never compete with us to do the same.
As to the general issues with knowing about claims, yea that can be a problem. Some of it will be alleviated with mechanics in the long run, but some of it will probably not (like escalation claims, I would be surprised if they were every somehow 'claimable' by any mechanic). But this game is a sandbox and is community and politics based, someone in your group should be paying attention to this aspect of the game and simplifying the info for the more casual crowd. If that is too hard for someone to deal with then this is probably a poor game choice for them. If their were bigger 'safe' safe ones like Hi-Sec in EVE it might be less of a problem. Factions may throw a big wrench into some of this.
On the flip side folks making such claims need to tolerate clear accidents and new player mistakes. But restricting ourselves to facilitate casuals is just as 'bad' as us blatantly restricting casuals.
I should probably be clear that it is the NUMBER AND VARIETY of territory claims, rather than the fact that people make claims, that is unfriendly to casuals. Add to that the documentation of claims and policies are scattered in different places, even if one felt scholarly enough to research it.
As was pointed out, claiming territory serves the casuals in settlements (which is currently like ALL OF THEM).
I wonder if the warnings will work well, over the long run. There is already a trend of skepticism at the legitimacy of warnings, and the authority of those issuing warnings, which has occasionally been well-founded.
It will be easy for a player who is enjoying what they are doing to be skeptical of someone who wants to waltz in and have their fun for them and tell them to go elsewhere.
However, as I hang out with people again, I'll probably be more of a follower than a leader, so I'll just blame whoever led me there. Seriously, though, for all the trouble my mates drag me into, it is very rare that I have been dragged into it without fair warning that trouble lay ahead.
Edam 06.05.2016 16:45
The underlying motivation to many of the claims which restrict gathering is to set up a cartel to control prices of rare items (viz a viz, the De Beers diamond cartel or OPEC oil cartel in the real world). Welcome to an experiment in Ayn Rand capitalism
Ya know, just as i was starting to warm up to this whole territory thing, when you put it this way it actually is quite horrifying to think about lol.
I hate Ayn Rand almost as much as I hate dirty commies
Seraph 06.06.2016 05:43
Really though, territory claims can be summarized pretty easily for casual players and newcomers:
"Settlements are controlled by groups of players, and their resources come from their hexes, especially escalations and monster hexes. When you take resources from someone else, it's stealing unless you have permission. If you're not sure where you're allowed to go, ask someone or just farm escalations and resources close to home."
Really these claims and territories are just a declaration of where groups stand on poaching, and justification for using force against violators, which is all very reasonable.

It's all very reasonable… to people who will pay $15 a month to be confined to a small area.
And to people who have expansive claims, of course.

Le Quick Lane Bowl est un match de football américain d'après-saison régulière de niveau universitaire certifié par la NCAA et dont la première édition a lieu en 2014.

Soutenu par les Detroit Lions (équipe de football professionnel en NFL), le match mettra en présence des équipes issues de la Big 10 et de l'ACC.

C'est le Ford Field de Détroit dans le Michigan qui accueillera l'évènement lequel se déroulera le , remplaçant de facto le Little Caesars Pizza Bowl dans le calendrier. Contrairement à son prédécesseur qui invitait la  de la Big 10 et le champion de la MAC, les équipes qui s'y affronteront seront désignées par les représentants des deux conférences, le ranking n'entrant plus en ligne de compte

La Ford Motor Company assure le sponsoring du nom du bowl au travers de sa marque de magasins d'accessoires automobile, Quick Lane.

Histoire
Depuis 2002, le Ford Field de Détroit était l'hôte du Motor City Bowl renommé plus tard Little Caesars Pizza Bowl à la suite des contraintes de sponsoring. Ce bowl opposait traditionnellement la  de la Big 10 et le champion de la MAC, sa première édition ayant eu lieu au Pontiac Silverdome en 1997.

En , ESPN déclara que les Lions de Détroit désiraient organiser au Ford Field un nouveau bowl opposant la Big 10 à l'ACC. Jim Delany, commissionaire de la Big 10, avait exprimé son souhait de réorganiser la game de bowls de sa conférence pour la saison 2014 afin de lui redonner plus de fraicheur.

En , les Lions confirment la création du nouveau bowl (sans qu'un nom précis lui soit donné) désirant le faire se jouer le . Les organisateurs ont conclu un accord de participation pour les six années à venir avec les conférences Big 10 et ACC. Les équipes seront désignées par les représentants de ces conférences.

L'annonce de la création de ce nouveau bowl et le fait que le Ford Field ne pourrait plus héberger le Little Caesars Pizza Bowl qui de plus ne présentait pas un grand intérêt, mettait gravement en danger l'existence de ce dernier. Le président des Lions, Tom Lewand, fit remarquer que très peu de marché (site) pouvait supporter adéquatement l'organisation de deux bowls majeurs. Les organisateurs avaient envisagé, pour 2014, de déplacer ce bowl vers le centre ville de Detroit au Comerica Park, stade de plein air où jouait l'équipe de baseball des Detroit Tigers. Coïncidences, le Comerica Park et l'équipe des Tigers étaient propriété de la compagnie Ilitch Holdings, société mère du sponsor principal du Little Caesars. Cependant, ces plans ne se sont jamais concrétisés.

En aout 2014, les Lions annoncent que la Ford Motor Company a acquis les droits de sponsoring du nom du nouveau bowl, lequel sera de ce fait dénommé le Quick Lane Bowl, en référence à ses magasins de vente de pièces automobiles Quick Lane. De plus le match, retransmis par ESPN, se jouerait le , date traditionnellement dévolue au Little Caesars Pizza Bowl. Dans une déclaration faite au Crain's Detroit Business (périodique), Le cofondateur du Motor City Bowl confirme qu'il n'y aurait pas de Pizza Bowl en 2014 et qu'il ne se prononcerait pas quant à son avenir, induisant de ce fait que le Little Caesars Pizza Bowl serait annulé pour une durée indéterminée.

"Guilty" is the 22nd studio album by American singer Barbra Streisand released on September 23, 1980 by Columbia Records. It was produced by Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees and his group's regular production team of Albhy Galuten and Karl Richardson. After the success of the Bee Gees in the late 1970s, there was some time to write songs for other artists and Streisand, one of those artists, asked Gibb to write an album for her. It became her best-selling album to date internationally, with sales of 15 million copies worldwide as well as spawning several hit singles. According to the liner notes of Barbra's retrospective box set: Just for the Record, the album also received a record certification in Austria, Brazil, Denmark, Israel, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain. Sweden, Switzerland, and Russia. The lead single "Woman in Love" became one of the most successful songs of Streisand's music career and spent a total of three weeks at #1 in the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Two other singles were released, which also peaked within the Top 10 on Billboard Hot 100: the title track, a duet between Streisand and Gibb, won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal in 1981, released as a second single for the album, and became an instant hit, peaking at #3, and "What Kind of Fool", another duet with Gibb, reached #10 for three weeks. The fourth single, "Promises", a more disco-oriented track released in May 1981, reached as high as #48 in both the U.S. and Canada. It was a much bigger Adult Contemporary hit in both nations, reaching #8 and #5, respectively. This song was also released on Streisand's first commercially released 12" single as a solo artist following her 1979 duet with Donna Summer, "No More Tears (Enough Is Enough)", and two promotional singles released for "Shake Me, Wake Me (When It's Over)" in 1975, and "The Main Event/Fight" in 1979.

The biggest selling album of Barbra Streisand's career is also one of her least characteristic. The album was written and produced by Barry Gibb in association with his brothers and the producers of the Bee Gees, and in essence it sounds like a post-Saturday Night Fever Bee Gees album with vocals by Streisand. Gibb adapted his usual style somewhat, especially in slowing the tempos and leaving more room for the vocal, but his melodic style and the backup vocals, even when they are not sung by the Bee Gees, are typical of them. Still, the record was more hybrid than compromise, and the chart-topping single "Woman in Love" has a sinuous feel that is both right for Streisand and new for her. Other hits were the title song and "What Kind of Fool," both duets with Gibb. (The song "Guilty" won a Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal by Duo or Group.)

More Hill Towns of Umbria
Published on 13 April 2010 11 April 2019 by Melanie Renzulli
In my first round-up of the Hill Towns of Umbria, I discussed the towns of Assisi, Gubbio, Montefalco, and Orvieto. The list of hill towns in Umbria is, in fact, exhaustive, and also includes the region's capital Perugia. In this post, I wanted to focus on a few more worth visiting. They are Spello, Spoleto, Todi, and Trevi.
[mappress]
Spello: Walls, Flowers, and Frescoes
The steep streets of Spello
Situated a few miles south of Assisi, this little walled town with a serene air overlooking the Valle Umbra reminds me of a miniature Assisi. Although it's well-known for its medieval walls and Roman gates (built when the town was known as Hispellum), Spello has a softer, artistic side. The annual event Infiorate di Spello brings visitors from all over the region and Italy to view gorgeous, sweet-smelling portraits and dioramas made only of flowers. If you can't be in Spello in early June (the typical date of the flower fair), it is still worth going on a side trip here to enjoy the astounding Pinturicchio frescoes in the Baglioni Chapel in Santa Maria Maggiore. These frescoes are considered some of the artist's best work, prompting many to call the Cappella Baglioni the "Cappella Bella."
Spoleto: Roman Past, Artsy Present
View of Spoleto and its famous bridge
Right along the Via Flaminia (yes, that same Via Flaminia that leads from Rome right outside Piazza del Popolo) is Spoleto, a strategic city for the Romans (then called Spoletium) and even site of a battle with Hannibal during the Second Punic War. Spoleto has tremendous Roman, medieval, and Renaissance roots, boasting a Roman amphitheater, the six-towered Rocca Albornoz citadel, and the Ponte delle Torri, the massive "towers bridge" that was an impressive feat of engineering in the 14C.
While the city has lots of the typical central Italian attractions, it is today known chiefly for the Festival dei Due Mondi, or the Festival of Two Worlds. The comprehensive arts festival goes on for two weeks each summer (usually from mid-June to July) and includes opera, theater, dance, and other performances. The festival was begun in 1958 by Spoleto native Gian Carlo Menotti, but is now run by the Ministry of Cultural Affairs resulting in quite a controversy in Spoleto and certain arts circles. You can learn more about the Menotti's side of the controversy here or just visit the Festival dei Due Mondi's official website. Let's hope that this conflict over intellectual property rights and a family legacy will not spill over to end what has been one of Italy's longest running and best known arts festivals.
Todi: "World's Most Livable City"
Todi's lovely Piazza del Popolo
A town that's been billed as the "world's most livable" must be a nice place to visit, right? Absolutely! Spread on a hill overlooking the Tiber Valley, Todi has what some consider the most beautiful square in Italy. Three medieval palaces – the Palazzo dei Priori, the Palazzo del Capitano, and the Palazzo del Popolo – front the Piazza del Popolo, producing a scene so picturesque that the square has been used multiple times as a film set. Todi's compact city center has also earned it accolades from a University of Kentucky architecture professor who, in the 1990s, proclaimed Todi as an ideal city because of its human scale. For better or for worse, that proclamation set off a real estate frenzy among buyers from all over Europe and the United States. But there are still plenty of Tudertini to keep the local traditions alive. Though Todi is charmer, the best reasons to visit are its antique fairs – the Rassegna Antiquaria d'Italia (in April) and the Mostra Nazionale dell'Artigianato (in August and September) and the spectacular temple of Santa Maria della Consolazione, a masterpiece by Bramante and one of the best examples of Renaissance architecture in Umbria.
Trevi: Ancient Temple, Fountains, and Olive Oil
Vertical Trevi, a classic Umbrian hill town
Unmistakable Trevi and its medieval buildings flower on the Umbrian hillside like clusters of edelweiss on a mountain. Some visitors even compare Trevi to an Umbrian Positano (the famous town on the Amalfi Coast) because its appearance from a distance resembles the practically vertical nature of the cliff-side village. Trevi was yet another outpost during Roman times because it was at the crossroads of three roads ("tre vie"), including the Via Flaminia. Trevi boasts dozens of churches, including the church of Sant'Emiliano, whose belltower crowns the hill upon which Trevi sits.
Two of Trevi's most famous attractions, however, aren't in Trevi at all; they lie just below the town by the Clitunno River. The Fonti del Clitunno, a series of lagoons, islands, and springs, is an oasis in landlocked Umbria. The tranquil spot was lauded by Byron, Italian poet Giosué Carducci, and Roman poet Virgil. The other sight near the River Clitunno is the Tempietto del Clitunno (Little Temple of Clitunno), long thought to be a Roman construction but it actually dates from sometime between the 6-8C. It's a beautiful example of classical architecture that's unusual to find in these environs. Finally, Trevi, which is surrounded by gorgeous, silvery olive trees (including the olive tree of Saint Emiliano, dated at about 1,700 years old) is known throughout Italy for its fine olive oil. That is some accolade given that the region as a whole is known for its oil! If you are passing through Trevi, stop by and pick up a bottle of its delicious, artisanal oil. Two good places to try are Frantoio Gaudenzi and Gradassi, located in the hamlet of Campello sul Clitunno. Gradassi also runs its own trattoria which features typical Umbrian fare.

If you are planning to visit any of Umbria's hill towns, don't just do it on a day trip from Tuscany. Consider renting a villa in Umbria to enjoy the slower pace of life and (relatively) smaller crowds.
