Diocese of Botswana
Orthodoxwiki
The Holy Diocese of Botswana is a diocese under the jurisdiction of the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Alexandria and All Africa. Its territory includes the parishes and missions located in the nation of Botswana.
The Diocese of Botswana was established by Patriarchal and Synodal decree on October 7, 2010. Prior to the formation of the Diocese of Botswana, the territory of the diocese was part of the Archdiocese of Zimbabwe. His Grace, Gennadios, who had been elected earlier, was formally enthroned Bishop of Botswana on June 2, 2012 as the first ruling bishop of the diocese.
Communities of the diocese include: Church of St. Nicholas (including the chapels of St. Parthenios Bishop of Lampsakos and St. Peter Archbishop of Alexandria) in Gaborone.

ORDINATION OF BISHOP VASILEIOS OF BOTSWANA
Patriarch Theodoros (left) with Vasileios of Botswana
On Sunday 3o November 2014, His Beatitude Theodoros II, Pope and Patriarch of Alexandria and All Africa conducted the ordination of His Grace Vasileios Bishop of Botswana at the Holy Patriarchal Cathedral of St Savvas the Sanctified. Participating in the Eucharistic Gathering and the ordination of His Grace were Their Eminences Metropolitans George of Guinea, Dimitrios of Irinopolis, Gabriel of Leontopolis and Narkissos of Nubia.
Present were the Honourable Consul General of Greece in Alexandria Mr. Christos Kapodistrias, Chairmen of Hellenic Societies and Associations of the Great City, the Nuns that live at the Dependency of the Patriarchate of Alexandria in Athens, as well as family members and friends of the ordained Bishop.
During his address, His Beatitude emotionally said the following:
"(...) Give to the people of the Diocese of Botswana to which you were elected, your sacrificial self, working towards your personal salvation, as well as the salvation of your flock; in this world that is becoming ever more inhumane, become a preacher of the value of human beings.
As Christian humanists we have a duty to progress always further than the superficial, where human existences are formed into groups, so that we might discover the genuine human face, which is never predictable. In the discovery of the differences we need to rejoice in the surprise of the ability of finding a meeting point with another, who is different, on many levels, because in the spiritual world there is no monotony and boredom. And unity in Christ does not fear difference, but rather gives it meaning and enriches it. This inspiration is what contemporary man needs, and this is the best mission.
In Africa, the continent of the future, where the grace of the great God deemed us worthy to serve, a "vision" is needed, as well as faith. We often trad there where there is no road, because you make the way open as you walk. But I beg you my child, Father Vasileios, do not hesitate! As you look around on the path, you will see invisibly, following the Lord, just as the Disciples who walked to Emmaus. So now, that God gives you the grace of Hierarchy, today on your personal Pentecost, be sure that He will always be with you, strengthening and supporting you, in every request of your loving heart, because our God is a God of love; "I am a God near at hand, says the Lord and not a God far off", according to the Prophet Jeremiah (Chapter 23).
Have courage, therefore, Your Grace and holy brother, because we serve the humble God of love, the God who from the eruption of His heart, left the blessing of His divinity and became man just like us, to lead us to His divine blessedness. This God awaits you now, in the Holy of Holies, to grant you the grace of Hierarchy.
So, enter into the grace of your Lord, my child, Vasileios!"

His Grace Vasileios, Provincial Bishop of Botswana (born Vasilieos Varvelis), was born in Peristeri Attica in 1969. He studied at the faculty of Health and Welfare and at the Theological Faculty of the University of Athens. He was ordained Deacon in July 1997 and Priest in March 1998 by His Eminence Chrysostomos Metropolitan of Zimbabwe. He served as parish Priest in Johannesburg and in Cairo. Thereafter by Venerable Order of the late Patriarch Petros VII, he was appointed as Parish Priest and Confessor of the patriarchal Church of St Athanasios, Nicholas and Fotios, in Ano Kypseli, the Dependency of the Patriarchate and as Secretary of the representative Office of His Beatitude in Athens, serving there for fifteen years.
On 26 November 2014, by proposal of His Beatitude, he was elected by the Holy Synod of the Patriarchate of Alexandria and All Africa as Provincial Bishop of the vacant Holy Diocese of Botswana.
The first orthodox school opened in Botswana (March 22, 2012)
world.greekreporter.com
A Greek-British private school opened last month in Botswana, funded by the Orthodox Diocese of Botswana under the jurisdiction of the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Alexandria and All Africa.
Greek, Greek-Cypriot, Ukrainian, Russian, Serbian and indigenous pupils are already visiting the school's courses, which among others include the learning of the Greek and Russian language and the local dialect Setswana, as well as Orthodox catechism.
Bishop Gennadios is in constant talks with the Ministry of Education of the country, aiming at upgrading the school to High School levels. The Embassies of France and Germany are also aiding the purpose of the private Orthodox school.
Through these efforts, the Orthodox Diocese aims at gaining a decent presence and activity at the country by organizing different activities and initiatives concerning the fields of education and health.
"It is of high importance for our Orthodox Church to be able to serve the people and the society of Botswana in key sectors such as health and education" pointed out Bishop Gennadios in his interview to major circulation local news magazine "Discover Botswana". The Bishop added that the Orthodox Church's future lies in education. "The best schools in South Africa and other neighboring countries belong traditionally and essentially to the Orthodox Church. People support our work by sending their children to school to become educated and learn about the Christian values. What our Church needs to do is come out of its shell and approach the people and their needs without too much preaching and philosophy" highlighted the Orthodox Bishop.
Bishop Gennadios gave interviews to well known "Animal Planet" and "National Geographic" channels and invited the journalists to participate at this year's Orthodox Easter celebrations in order to experience the spiritual dimension of Christianity.
During Easter time, the first doctors from Crete are expected to arrive in Botswana in order to implement new pilot medical programmes against AIDS. These programmes will be conducted in cooperation with the Medical Clinic of the Anglican Church "Hospice-Holy Cross", where children suffering from AIDS are being treated.
The Orthodox Diocese is celebrating this year its second anniversary from its establishment in October 2010. However, the Diocese does not have a Cathedral yet. Therefore, the Bishop will hold a new meeting with the authorities in charge to secure the right property where the first Orthodox Cathedral will be built.
June 2012: The first Orthodox church in Botswana
The Patriarch of Alexandreia and all Africa Theodoros founded the first Orthodox church in Canberra Botswana, with the help of Orthodox Christians from Greece and Cyprus, friends of the African people.
The church would be dedicated in the name of St. John Chrysostom, Saint Christopher and Michael Archangel.

"Management's job. It is management's job to direct the efforts of all components toward the aim of the system. The first step is clarification: everyone in the organization must understand the aim of the system, and how to direct his efforts toward it.

"Faced with new realities, our systems have to transform — as the society has transformed. They have to learn to co-change (co-evolve) with their constantly changing environments. Thus, it is imperative that we understand what these transformations and new realities are. We have to grasp their implications for systems, and apply our understanding of these implications to the transformation of our systems. We need to learn how to recreate our systems, how to redesign them so that they will have a "goodness of fit" with the emerged new realities. No small task by any means!"

"Holism [is] the art — in contrast with reductionism — of seeing a complex system as a whole. Holism knows the limits to its understanding; it acknowledges that the system has its wildness, its privacy, its own reasons, its defences against invasive explanation … It does not pretend to understand the whole school just on the evidence of dissecting the geography teacher."

"I'm basically interested in intervention. The key question for me is: how can you intervene more systemically? Systems approaches make the assumption that things are interconnected. That's the fundamental starting point. However, we don't have the privilege of a God's eye view of that interconnectedness, so there are inevitable limits to understanding, and it is those limits that we call boundaries. So systemic intervention, for me, at a fundamental level, is how to explore those boundaries, and how to take account of the inevitable lack of comprehensiveness and begin to deal with that."

"Analysis of a system reveals its structure and how it works. It provides the knowledge required to make it work efficiently and to repair it when it stops working. Its product is know-how, knowledge, not understanding. To enable a system to perform effectively we must understand it—we must be able to explain its behavior—and this requires being aware of its functions in the larger systems of which it is a part."

They provide a set of "reasonable" parts and methods of relating them so that the many persons working on the system can understand the whole in sufficient detail for their purposes, and their particular parts in explicit detail so that they may contribute their best efforts to the extent required.

"Now "cybernetics" is the term coined by Wiener to denote "steersmanship" or the science of control. Although current engineering usage restricts it to the study of flows in closed systems, it can be taken in a wider context, as the study of processes interrelating systems with inputs and outputs, and their structural-dynamic structure. It is in this wider sense that "cybernetics" will be used here, to wit, as system-cybernetics, understanding by "system" an ordered whole in relation to its relevant environment"

Last week we had our first dealings with the Mozambican authorities and it was interesting. We met up with IPEX, Ministry of tourism's department of trade promotion. The fact that this body exists is impressive enough, you will understand why the low expectations once you have tried to run a business in Maputo.
We had a meeting to see what services/support they provide to start-ups like ours. First thing they said was "we don't give financial assistance". We didn't ask for money but good to have that off their chest, seemed like it was weighing them down.
So, what do they do exactly? Well, they book and pay for stands at trade shows and encourage businesses interested in exporting products to attend. That sounds great and we are def taking the offer.
We signed up for the next trade show in Johannesburg and this was a perfect timing coz that was our next market target anyways. We also have friends there so we can hopefully stay with them and save some much needed cash.
IPEX informed us all we needed was to have a formally registered company and then register with them to attend this fair. This forced us to formally register our company, something we should have done a couple of months back. We had 2 weeks to register and it is not enough so we found a guy to register the name at least and get us some basic documentation.
2 days before the fair I meet with IPEX reps to find out more info about the fair. It will be the first trade fair experience for both of us so we wanted to be well prepared. However, IPEX guys had no info beyond, the address, show up with your products and get some table clothes for your display! OK, fair enough, don't know why we expected more.
Two friends decided to join us on the trip and do a bit of sightseeing. It was a great idea, only thing was, one of our friends who was driving decided to put "the shortest way without toll gates" on the GPS, which meant avoiding the quickest highways from Maputo to Joburg. Instead of the average 6 to max 8 hours drive to Joburg we took 14 hours to get there!!
The deadline to show up at the exhibition and display our products was 8pm and we arrived at 7:45! Well, we showed up at least.
Soon as we get there we find out our stand is a skeleton with no display units or a signage because it hasn't been paid for! I get into a heated debate with the organisers telling them to deal with CPI or IPEX or whoever booked the stand next day but to let us into the stand. While we are busy debating, Sindy and B go around stealing some tables, chairs and enough furniture for our double stand! I was impressed and realised this is the only way to sort this mess out, the nice talks weren't getting us anywhere.
We arrange the furniture and start displaying our product then one of the security guards tells us it might be better to lock our products somewhere and only display the following day as he can't guarantee security! Damn zoo, so much for the "biggest Southern African Trade Fair", big name and a bigger mess. We put the stuff away and I show up early next day to set up. To my surprise, there is a signage saying "CPI Mozambique", not the best name but it says Mozambique and we are not being kicked out so we are cool with it.
The fair was starting at 10am and at 11, two other exhibitors from Maputo show up with an explosion of colours. Displaying Capulana products, which the IPEX guys decided it wasn't important to inform us so we can coordinate (after all, we are promoting the same products).
We displayed our bags carefully and used plain table covers on the tables to make sure the colourful Capulana products we are displaying do not assault the sense of those not familiar with these colourful Mozambican fabric. Our neighbours decided to totally undo our work and not even bother to display products but just pile everything up on the tables we stole the night before. To add a finishing touch to the mess, they put up maps of Mozambique on the walls! Just what we needed to look totally out of place and a pile of mess.
Our hall was dominated by Chinese, Turkish and Indian stands with machinery, perfumes and medicine products that totally clashed with our out-of-place-and-disturbingly-colourful-stand.
First day of the fair was busy and we made a couple of good contacts. Second day was totally dead! We didn't sell or make any contact and we decided since we have only one more day in Joburg to take things into our hands and spend our last day visiting select shops we thought might be interested in our products. It was a good move and we made more contacts and sales in that day compare to the previous 2 days waiting in a stall hoping for a good luck.
One of the shops we have approached on our last day has placed orders already and we have Pili Pili products in their shop starting today! On our last night in Joburg we organised a dinner as a thank you to our super generous friends who hosted us and we managed to sell lots of our bags to almost everyone who showed up. Better even, one of our friends decided to come on board and be our agent in Joburg! We couldn't have asked for a better outcome from our 3-day trip to Joburg. All in one day we escaped the stuffiness of an old-fashioned trade fair.

Regional uplift associated with continental large igneous provinces: The roles of mantle plumes and the lithosphere
Saunders, A. D.; Jones, S. M.; Morgan, L. A.; Pierce, K. L.; Widdowson, M. and Xu, Y. G. (2007). Regional uplift associated with continental large igneous provinces: The roles of mantle plumes and the lithosphere. Chemical Geology, 241(3-4) pp. 282–318.
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chemgeo.2007.01.017
The timing and duration of surface uplift associated with large igneous provinces provide important constraints on mantle convection processes. Here we review geological indicators of surface uplift associated with five continent-based magmatic provinces: Emeishan Traps (260 million years ago: Ma), Siberian Traps (251 Ma), Deccan Traps (65 Ma), North Atlantic (Phase 1, 61 Ma and Phase 2, 55 Ma), and Yellowstone (16 Ma to recent). All five magmatic provinces were associated with surface uplift. Surface uplift can be measured directly from sedimentary indicators of sea-level in the North Atlantic and from geomorpholocial indicators of relative uplift and tilting in Yellowstone. In the other provinces, surface uplift is inferred from the record of erosion. In the Deccan, North Atlantic and Emeishan provinces, transient uplift that results from variations in thermal structure of the lithosphere and underlying mantle can be distinguished from permanent uplift that results from the extraction and emplacement of magma. Transient surface uplift is more useful in constraining mantle convection since models of melt generation and emplacement are not required for its interpretation. Observations of the spatial and temporal relationships between surface uplift, rifting and magmatism are also important in constraining models of LIP formation. Onset of surface uplift preceded magmatism in all five of the provinces. Biostratigraphic constraints on timing of uplift and erosion are best for the North Atlantic and Emeishan Provinces, where the time interval between significant uplift and first magmatism is less than 1 million years and 2.5 million years respectively. Rifting post-dates the earliest magmatism in the case of the North Atlantic Phase 1 and possibly in the case of Siberia. The relative age of onset of offshore rifting is not well constrained for the Deccan and the importance of rifting in controlling magmatism is disputed in the Emeishan and Yellowstone Provinces. In these examples, rifting is not a requirement for onset of LIP magmatism but melting rates are significantly increased when rifting occurs.
Models that attempt to explain emplacement of these five LIPs without hot mantle supplied by mantle plumes often have difficulties in explaining the observations of surface uplift, rifting and magmatism. For example, small-scale convection related to craton or rift boundaries (edge-driven convection) cannot easily explain widespread (1000 km scale) transient surface uplift (Emeishan, Deccan, North Atlantic), and upper mantle convection initiated by differential incubation beneath cratons (the hotcell model) is at odds with rapid onset of surface uplift (Emeishan, North Atlantic). The start-up plume concept is still the most parsimonious way of explaining the observations presented here. However, observations of surface uplift cannot directly constrain the depth of origin of the hot mantle in a plume head. The short time interval between onset of transient surface uplift and magmatism in the North Atlantic and Emeishan means that the associated starting plume heads were probably not large (c. 1000 km diameter) roughly spherical diapirs and are likely to have formed narrow (c. 100 km radius) upwelling jets, with hot mantle then spreading rapidly outward within the asthenosphere. In cases where rifting post-dates magmatism (N Atlantic Phase 1) or where the degree of lithospheric extension may not have been great (Siberia), a secondary mechanism of lithospheric thinning, such as gravitational instability or delamination of the lower lithosphere, may be required to allow hot mantle to decompress sufficiently to explain the observed volume of magma with a shallow melting geochemical signature. Any such additional thinning mechanisms are probably a direct consequence of plume head emplacement.

Coalitional Presidentialism in Comparative Perspective
Minority Presidents in Multiparty Systems
Paul Chaisty, Nic Cheeseman, and Timothy J. Power
Oxford Studies in Democratization
Provides new and updated data on patterns of coalition formation
Provides broad cross-regional analysis and findings
Features extensive research, including interviews from 357 MPs
Identifies five key presidential tools used to manage coalitions
This book provides the first cross-regional study of an increasingly important form of politics: coalitional presidentialism. Drawing on original research of minority presidents in the democratising and hybrid regimes of Armenia, Benin, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Kenya, Malawi, Russia, and Ukraine, it seeks to understand how presidents who lack single party legislative majorities build and manage cross-party support in legislative assemblies. It develops a framework for analysing this phenomenon, and blends data from MP surveys, detailed case studies, and wider legislative and political contexts, to analyse systematically the tools that presidents deploy to manage their coalitions.
The authors focus on five key legislative, cabinet, partisan, budget, and informal (exchange of favours) tools that are utilised by minority presidents. They contend that these constitute the 'toolbox' for coalition management, and argue that minority presidents will act with imperfect or incomplete information to deploy tools that provide the highest return of political support with the lowest expenditure of political capital. In developing this analysis, the book assembles a set of concepts, definitions, indicators, analytical frameworks, and propositions that establish the main parameters of coalitional presidentialism. In this way, Coalitional Presidentialism in Comparative Perspective provides crucial insights into this mode of governance.
Oxford Studies in Democratization is a series for scholars and students of comparative politics and related disciplines. Volumes concentrate on the comparative study of the democratization process that accompanied the decline and termination of the cold war. The geographical focus of the series is primarily Latin America, the Caribbean, Southern and Eastern Europe, and relevant experiences in Africa and Asia. The series editor is Laurence Whitehead, Senior Research Fellow, Nuffield College, University of Oxford.

Technology is instrumental to our lives – it has heavily impacted the way we communicate, the way we learn, and it is used in almost all aspects of our day-to-day lives – and many engineering industries are also reaping the benefits from effectively utilising technology. The construction industry, for example, has greatly profited from embracing cutting-edge technology into the delivery of their projects. Technological advancements have helped companies associated with construction to better the quality of their projects, improve efficiencies and reduce costs. It has become accepted by professionals within the industry that specialised technology is the future of the trade, and likely to become the new normal for project execution.
Here our construction specialists have delved into some of the most widespread technological devices and systems used in the construction industry, highlighting how they are being used and the benefits they provide.
Drones are currently one of the most useful gadgets a construction firm can have. They can be utilised to meet a variety of requirements, and are modernising the way a large part of the industry has traditionally operated. One of their most popular uses is to create accurate site inspection reports and land surveys, replacing previous methods that took a significant period of time. Drones are able to capture all the necessary information required in less time than traditional process, and eliminate the possibility of human error. Drones can also improve the accuracy of an assessment as they can collect information from locations that are difficult for humans to access.
Other uses of drones in construction include taking drone footage of a site and converting it into 3D pictures that can then be compared to architectural plans, or measuring volumes, distances and grades. Some drones have also been specifically designed for industrial purposes, but basic, high-quality drones are often more than sufficient enough for most construction companies.
Replacing the need for a blueprint to be produced before the build of a project, Building Information Modelling is undoubtedly one of the greatest advancements within the construction industry in recent years. It allows an incredibly detailed and interactive 3D model of an asset to be produced, that brings together all the necessary information about the project into one place. This modelling process removes the problem of contractors and clients working in isolation, and ensures all parties are able to effectively collaborate.
It has also been estimated that BIM will gradually transition into 5D modelling, including features such as time management, costing and quantities.
Augmented reality is a piece of specialist software that allows data and images to be overlaid onto physical spaces. It is particularly useful for complicated projects, as it can be used to highlight potential hazards and issues before they materialise, preventing a project from falling behind schedule due to unforeseen complications. It also makes the life of planners and architects simpler as they have the ability to collaborate with clients and amend any problems before they occur.
With plenty of easy-to-use apps available, smartphones are used by construction experts on a daily basis. They allow workers to document, access and share important project information whilst they are on-site, helping improve efficiency, accuracy and project consistency.
There are also a wide range of devices out there that have been especially designed for construction purposes. For example, some devices contain rugged construction screens, and other gadgets feature screens that are better suited for viewing in bright daylight – ideal for contractors often working on exterior projects.
Not only does technology improve efficiency and help construction companies deliver high-quality projects, but it can also have a positive influence on health and safety. Utilising innovative devices and gadgets such as light-up hard hats and responsive clothing is something all businesses can easily adopt, but could be crucial in ensuring the well-being of staff.
Here at BMR Solutions, we value the growing importance of technology in the construction industry. Technology helps to improve the quality of work produced and improve the efficiency of construction professionals. This can lead to a variety of benefits, and the contractors who are most competent with a range of advanced technological devices are the ones who will stand out to employers.
As technology is always developing and improving, the construction workers who have experience using similar software and devices are likely to be the ones who find using new technology much easier. Construction is a sector that can be supported by innovative technology systems and is something all workers of any level should look to become familiar with.
If you're looking to progress your career in construction, why not let BMR Solutions help? We're a team that has the network and support structure to help open the door to new opportunities.
For any construction workers on the look out for new and exciting roles, simply upload your CV and we'll start your journey into finding an amazing role with an established and reputable company.

Smerfowy flet (fr. La Flûte à six schtroumpfs, ang. The Smurfs and the Magic Flute, 1976) – belgijski film animowany stworzony przez belgijskiego rysownika Peyo, adaptacja pierwszego komiksu, w którym pojawiły się Smerfy. W Polsce nadawany był w wersji lektorskiej.

Fabuła
Głównymi bohaterami filmu są paź królewski – Johan oraz chełpliwy giermek Piłit. Smerfy pomagają odzyskać bohaterom magiczny flet, który sprawia, że ludzie tańczą bez opamiętania, a następnie wycieńczeni od tańczenia zapadają w śpiączkę.

Dodatkowe informacje o filmie
 Mimo iż Smerfy są wymienione w tytule, Johan i Pirlouit są głównymi bohaterami, Smerfy grają zaś rolę drugoplanową.
 Film nie został wyprodukowany przez studio Hanna-Barbera, lecz został wyprodukowany przez Brussels' Belvision Studios.
 W filmie nie pojawiają się Gargamel, Klakier i Smerfetka.

It's not just the visuals of ice sculptures that transfix pedestrians at Barney's windows. It's the music, too. The music provides "an emotional arc" intensifying the connection, drawing passersby easily distracted by much else happening on Madison Avenue at 63rd.
So explains Hannis Brown, the composer who designed the music for the windows, much of it Debussy on a piano. Hear him describe the process to The Takeaway on WNYC.
The music! Think how diminished the gorgeous light show on Saks Fifth Avenue's facade would be without the music.

What are the Top 5 Industry Groups for Equity Plan Proposal Failures?
The full report should be released by mid-May, and will look in greater detail at the equity plan proposals that failed and discuss the lessons that can be learned by these failures.
With whom does RiskMetrics engage?
Meeting in person or by phone?
At the discretion of the analysts. between February 15 to June 30 (proxy season), it will generally not be able to have in-person meetings. Limited exceptions might be made for non-routine or contentious proxy situations.
An informative dialogue ensuring the issuer is informed about RiskMetrics' policies and procedures, and view of best practices in corporate governance. Prefers to receive written responses to questions.
Can you note that you've purchased services from ISS Corporate Services (ICS)?
Advice on what is needed to get a favorable vote recommendation?
Can RiskMetrics use confidential or non-public information?
No, RiskMetrics only uses publicly-available information.
Entitled to review analysis prior to publication?
In the U.S., companies in the S&P 500 index generaly receive a draft report for fact-checking on routine proxies.
What to do when no chance to review and report contains a factual error?
Notify RiskMetrics immediately, and if it agrees that there is a material error, it will promptly issue an "Alert" to its clients.Note:In my experience a "material error" is one that would change the analysis presented under a specific RiskMetrics policy and/or be the basis for the vote recommendation of RiskMetrics or its clients. So for example, something like an error in the percent of the annual equity awards granted to the CEO would not be a "material error" that would cause RiskMetrics to issue an Alert.
Poll: What Is the Largest Equity Compensation Challenge You Face?
I would like to make sure that my blog focuses on the issues that will the most helpful for folks. So, if you wouldn't mind completing this quick 1 question poll, it would really help me figure that out. You'll have to register on the blog so you can respond (sorry, was getting some spam answers on the prior polls I ran), but the process is quick and painless. Thanks!
Today the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-13, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force).
The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010.
Applies to employee share-based payment awards with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity's equity securities trades that differs from the functional currency of the employer entity or payroll currency of the employee.
The amendments clarify that a share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity's equity securities trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, such an award should not be classified as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity.
The amendments to Topic 718 will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010.

Johann Friedrich Wilhelm Kitto (; * 14. Mai 1842 in Cantdorf, Kreis Spremberg; † 12. September 1903 in Berlin) war ein preußischer Soldat (Pionier).

Er diente in der Zeit des Deutsch-Dänischen Krieges in der 4. Kompanie des Pionierbataillons von Rauch (1. Brandenburgisches) Nr. 3 und kämpfte gemeinsam mit dem Pionier Carl Klinke bei Sturm auf die Düppeler Schanzen. Laut einiger Dokumente und eigener Darstellung war er es, der den Pulversack geworfen hat, mit dem eine Bresche in die Palisadenwand der Schanze II gesprengt wurde und bei dessen Explosion Carl Klinke so stark verletzt wurde, dass er später starb.

Herkunft und Werdegang
Wilhelm Kitto wurde in Cantdorf bei Spremberg, unweit von Bohsdorf-Vorwerk, dem Geburtsort von Carl Klinke, geboren. Er war das einzige Kind des sorbischen Lehrers Matthes Kitto, der aus dem Dorf Groß Partwitz zugezogen war. Kitto trat nicht in die Fußstapfen seines Vaters, sondern lernte das Schmiedehandwerk in Spremberg. Dort arbeitete er auch als Geselle.

Da er seinen Vater mit 14 Jahren verloren hatte, musste er die Mutter ernähren, die sich ein Häuschen mit Garten gekauft hatte, "worauf sie sich redlich nährte, obgleich sie Schulden abzuzahlen hatte". Als der Schmiedegeselle Kitto mit seiner Einberufung rechnen musste, "da kam seine gute Mutter wegen der Möglichkeit, das ihr Sohn ausgehoben würde, in große Sorge und Kummer, denn er war ihre einzige Stütze und sie oft kränklich und mit Magenkrämpfen behaftet, lag sogar später, da ihr Sohn einbeordert war, 18 Wochen schwer krank danieder".

Eine von neun Einwohnern Cantdorfs unterschriebene Eingabe wurde abgelehnt, weil wohl die Unterschriften des Ortsschulzen und des Vormundes gefehlt haben. Kitto wurde eingezogen, kam zuerst nach Torgau zu den Pionieren, wo zu dieser Zeit auch Klinke diente, und – wie Klinke – später zur 4. Kompanie des 3. Brandenburgischen Pionierbataillons. Dieses hatte seinen Standort in Spandau bei Berlin. Mit Ausbruch des Krieges und der Mobilmachung, der auch der kurz zuvor entlassene Klinke folgen musste, wurde das gesamte Bataillon nach Holstein verlegt.

Kittos Darstellung des Sturms auf die Schanze II
Wilhelm Kitto hat die Ereignisse beim Sturm auf die Schanze II am 18. April 1864 dem ehemaligen Pfarrer Johannes Mörbe aus Spremberg selbst berichtet:

Weiter führt er aus:

Kittos Leben nach dem Deutsch-Dänischen Krieg
Zum Militärehrenzeichen erhielt er vom König noch 300 Mark. Später erhielt Kitto noch eine sehr hohe Auszeichnung, die Österreichische Tapferkeitsmedaille. Zudem hatte ein Hamburger Kaufmann dem Prinzen Friedrich Karl eine größere Summe Geldes übermittelt, mit der Bitte, diese dem "tapfersten Soldaten des ganzen Armeekorps" auszuhändigen. Der Prinz gab sie ohne weiteres Nachdenken an Wilhelm Kitto. Dabei wurde er vom Prinzen gefragt, ob er denn noch einen besonderen Wunsch hätte, er würde sich nach Kräften dafür einsetzen. Kitto sagte da nur schlicht: "Ich will heim!" Die Enttäuschung in den Gesichtern der umstehenden Offiziere soll groß gewesen sein; viele hatten wohl erwartet, dass er weiterdienen und Offizier werden wolle.

Kitto wurde 61 Jahre alt und lebte in seinen letzten Jahren in Berlin. Er wurde auf dem Georgenkirchhof vor dem Landsberger Tor begraben. Der damalige Kommandeur des Pionierbataillons Nr. 3 von Rauch, Major Rüdiger, veröffentlichte am 20. September 1903 im Militär-Wochenblatt den folgenden Nachruf:

Yesterday, the Nearly Perfect Husband (also known in these parts as 'Daddy' (Marshal), 'Fah-sah' (Gabe), 'But Daaaaad' (Mac), and – depending on what he is doing (or not doing) – several other monikers that shall remain under literary lock and key. Oh. I also call him JoHn.
Anyway, JoHn and I were in the midst of cleaning out our closet yesterday.
The one… in the bedroom.
The one that we filled up – in 2004 when we moved here – with stuff that we didn't have time to edit from the house we moved into in 1993 (also with unedited stuff).
So, as you can imagine, it was quite the chore – a nine bags to Goodwill type of chore.
We'd gotten a phone call a week ago, from a very nice human who had heard we were putting the Disposable Shack on the market later this year – as in after the wedding because one can only deal with so much stress at one time.
We said it while we were cozy and sitting in Maine, where we have yet to accumulate way too much stuff… wHoops.
Our house is not ready to be shown to people who might want to buy it! I mean, it's not post nuclear disaster bad, but I would think that someone who is interested might want to see, you know, inside a closet or two… maybe test a drawer… actually walk into the playroom without moving the twin mattress that is blocking the door.
We came home and prioritized, and the closet in our bedroom made it to the top of the list.
And it ended up being a kind of cathartic and yet poignant effort, yielding some pretty cool stuff – homemade gifts created from small Dingles (ones not yet tall enough to ride all the rides at Disney World).
Some of them are in the pic above. We particularly liked the Christmassy one up front – drawn by Mac – and signed by all… including Gabe, who had decided to call himself by his first name, Jason, for about a month (Silly. Who goes by their first name?). Note he began signing with a 'G', and quickly crossed it out and wrote Jason, which I think he had to ask how to spell.
Also, for some reason JoHn and I seem to have peg-legs.
We laughed a little, welled up a bit, and smiled a lot.
Side benefit of pack-ratting to the point of not being able to find anything: Nearly everything not in daily sight-lines becomes a surprise. So many pleasant memories peeked their little heads out. Then pain.
A stinkin' plastic landmine from long ago.
We texted all the kids, asked if anything was off limits – our next stop after our closet was… the playroom.
Sam asked us to save any music books.
Gabe said we could chuck all the extraneous game controllers.
But, at the ripe old age of 24 (and living in Seattle), she really didn't have a case.
In our playroom, we have shelves. Lots and lots of shelves – and I mean built-in ones that take up entire walls. And also drawers. Lots and lots of drawers. Why? Well, being a fan of something called 'user-centered design', I designed the room around the primary users: Little Rugrats with lots of BCMP* (Brightly Colored Molded Plastic) – some of which could be displayed, but much of which would need to be hidden in a rush should company be about to happen.
Every single shelf, and sometimes four to five figures deep, were filled with Legos; a Harry Potter castle here… Star Wars Death Star there… Scooby Doo mystery machine? Sure! Basilisks and Death Eaters, dinosaurs, a shark (is there a Jaws Lego set?) and Bionicles by the dozens (and dozens and dozens).
And then we looked in one of two huge drawers and realized to our horror that it was filled – filled – with individual Lego pieces. And this drawer is more than three feet wide and about 18 inches deep.
Then I sort of smiled to myself.
That drawer was a kids' treasure trove containing hours upon hours of old-fashioned, imaginary fun.
DAD! MOM! Come see what I made!
Sam made a spaceship! Come see! I helped him with the windshield but he did the rest all by himself!
Gabe… GABE! Stop wrecking my tower!
Leave me alone! I want to do it mybyself! Mooooooooooooommmmm!
How do you measure, measure the years?
And remind you of… looooooooove.

Q: Function overloading and inheritance in C++ Suppose I have classes Bulldog and Labrador which publicly derive from base class Dog, and I have a function, e.g. a method of a different class, called reward, and I want it to produce different results for objects of class Dog and Bulldog, or for objects of class Bulldog and Labrador. What is the best way of doing this for a C++ developer?
I understand that if Dog has any virtual functions, then I can use dynamic_cast for this purpose. Is that something you would recommend? If not, what do you think would be the best approach?

A: The straightforward approach would be to delegate, using polymorphism, from the reward(const Dog& dog) function (free function/other class) to a virtual function of the Dog interface, using a provided Dog reference that can dispatch virtual Dog methods polymorpically. E.g.:
#include <iostream>

struct Dog {
    Dog() {}
    virtual ~Dog() {}
    virtual void reward() const {
        std::cout << "Default dog reward.\n";
    }
};

struct Bulldog : public Dog {
    Bulldog() {}
    ~Bulldog() override {}
    void reward() const override {
        std::cout << "Bulldog reward.\n";
    }
};

void reward(const Dog& dog) {
    dog.reward();
}

int main() {
    reward(Dog{});     // Default dog reward.
    reward(Bulldog{}); // Bulldog reward.
    return 0;
}
