Most agree the Middle East needs to introduce value-added and sales taxes in light of reduced energy income, but how it is introduced and what it means for hotel firms with cross-border assets remains a concern.
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates—The introduction of value-added/sales taxes to several nations throughout the Middle East is causing concern and confusion, despite agreement that such taxes are an obvious evolution in the region as it begins further diversification, sources said.
The United Arab Emirates is set to begin charging 5% VAT on 1 January 2018, and Saudi Arabia will follow suit in the "first half of 2018," according to Badr Al Badr, CEO of Saudi firm Dur Hospitality.
"The addition of VAT is a natural evolution. Some (Middle Eastern) governments have added bonds to help yield curves of companies, and dynamics have started to improve, even with slumping oil prices. But mostly it is the private sector adding to growth, and that has led to a persistent rise in confidence and output in the area's two major economies, the UAE and Saudi Arabia," said Shady Shaher Elborno, head of macro strategy research, global markets and treasury, Emirates NBD, speaking on a panel tilted "Macroeconomic outlook for Middle East hospitality" at the 2017 Arabian Hotel Investment Conference.
"The private sector is responding to pressures, but we cannot say we are past the worst. We are optimistic for 2018 and 2019, but even the most optimistic prediction for oil means pressures remain," Elborno added.
One major concern is that governments in some countries have not even announced when or how VAT will be imposed, panelists said.
Hoteliers in the region also would like to have legal clarification in regards to vacation ownership, they added.
Additional concerns focus on how to pay these taxes in businesses that cross national boundaries, as well as how to restructure companies to increase productivity.
Joe Sita, CEO, IFA Hotel Investments, said he's not sure the region's advisory and accountancy firms are any clearer as to what will happen.
"I get lots of invites to tax forums," he said.
Al Badr said he does not believe Saudi Arabia had the infrastructure that UAE has to count tourism numbers and hotel industry growth.
Gulf Cooperation Council governments largely are putting into place sensible and needed reforms, in response to reduced income due to a slump in energy prices, panelists said.
But there have been some short-term negative effects, including "reduction of construction, in government spending and in the lowering of perks of government officials, which was reversed in April," Al Badr said. He added that changes to the visa process for hajj pilgrims to Saudi Arabia would, in his estimation, increase those visitors from 2 million to 8 million a year.
Al Badr and Sita agreed that changes in the region will open opportunities.
"We've seen price pressures and reacted to them to the point we have seen some (revenue per available room) growth despite (them). … We have adopted a strategy at the Fairmont The Palm (in Dubai), for example, that has seen rate come back a bit, and demand and volume go up. We've been better and smarter about packaging," Sita said.
New demand is also helping, panelists agreed.
"I heard on the radio (recently) that the (GCC hotel industry's) future is east, and demographics are moving into the middle class. That will come with different travel needs, and midscale and economy brands will flourish," said Ignace Bauwens, regional VP, Middle East and Africa, Wyndham Hotels Group.
"Wyndham's Super 8 (brand) has more than 1,000 rooms in China, so bringing that brand into UAE will help connectivity," Bauwens added.
Other panelists have their sights fixed on Asia, too.
"Indonesia is the largest potential market for hajj tourism," Moukarzel said.
"Chinese travel is showing tremendous growth, mostly in the lower end, but it will improve. Yes, we are always concerned about new capacity, but when I arrived (in Dubai) as an outsider, I thought, how are we going to go from 30,000 to 60,000 rooms?" Sita said.
With the opening of the Westin Dubai Al Habtoor City in October 2016, Dubai surpassed its goal of 100,000 hotel rooms, according to reports.


This vegan Mapo Tofu dish is made with a 5-min home-made hot chili oil and pepper solids and simmered in a shiitake mushroom broth. It's healthy and rich in flavor. Pair it with rice to complete your legit 30-min vegan Chinese meal.
In my previous post, I shared a non-vegan version of Mapo Tofu that I learned from my mother and it's made with ground beef (or pork). I've always wanted to create a vegetarian Mapo Tofu. So my mom suggested I substitute shiitake mushrooms for the meat. And I hate to admit it, but that woman is always right!
Shiitake mushroom is definitely a great choice if you want to make your Mapo Tofu meatless. By simmering some in water for 15 minutes, you'll get a flavored mushroom broth, which can be used to braise tofu. After reserving the broth, you want to chop the shiitake mushrooms into small bits for this recipe. Shiitake mushrooms have a stronger texture so they are not easy to break unless you chop them. With tofu's soft and tender texture, they make a fantastic combination.
Now, the question is whether we should use fresh shiitake mushrooms or dried ones. Actually, either one works. Just note that the ratio between fresh mushrooms and dried ones is around 10:1, meaning 10 pounds of fresh mushrooms equals 1 pound of dried. You will need about 8 ounces of fresh mushrooms in this recipe, which equals less than 1 ounce of dried ones. In this recipe, I used dried shiitake mushrooms.
Since my mother cooks Mapo Tofu without fermented black beans and fermented spicy broadbean paste (doubanjiang), she made a secret ingredient for it and it's been used in so many of her signature dishes. The secret ingredient is Hot Chili Oil with pepper solids. If you haven't made some yet, I'd highly recommend you do. It only takes 5 minutes and requires 2 ingredients. Here's how to make hot chili oil at home. The store-bought one will not work because you will need not only the oil but the peppers solids as well.
I hope you enjoy this recipe. Don't forget to make the hot chili oil because there are going to be many mom's signature Chinese recipes to come. I am practically making the month of November a Chinese food month until Thanksgiving. Stay tuned!
Made with 5-min home-made hot chili oil and pepper solids and simmered in a shiitake mushroom broth.
In a medium saucepan, simmer mushrooms in 2 cups of water for 15 minutes.
In another medium saucepan, bring a large amount of salted water to a boil and gently place the tofu into the boiling water. Let it cook for 2 minutes. Drain.
Strain the mushroom water and reserve 1 1/2 cups. Drain the mushrooms on paper towels, remove stems and chop into small bits.
In a large wok or sauté pan, heat up oil over medium heat for about 1 minute. Add ginger and garlic, cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add chopped mushrooms and a pinch of salt, sauté for another minute.
Pour the reserved mushroom water into the wok. Turn the heat up to high and bring it to a boil.
Add tofu cubes, hot chili oil with pepper solids and Sichuan pepper into the mixture. Shake the wok to distribute the sauce, using a wood spatula to back push the tofu gently. Turn down the heat to simmer for 6-8 minutes.
2. If you don't have Sichuan numbing pepper, you can still make this recipe with ground black pepper. But the result is going to be less ideal.
3. For finely ground Sichuan numbing pepper, toast the peppercorns over high heat until fragrant, then process them in a food processor.
i just sent this to a few vegan friends. this looks delicious!
I've never tried this but it sounds really yummy!

Butch Jones Named Top Wolf At Arkansas State: What's The Betting Impact?
by Alec Cunningham
The Arkansas State Red Wolves have a new pack leader.
Former Tennessee Vols football head coach Butch Jones has been announced as the team's new head coach.
Butch Jones becomes head coach once again
Jones takes the place of former A-State head coach Blake Anderson, becoming the 31st head coach in the program's 109-year history.
Anderson guided the team to six consecutive bowl games during his seven seasons. This year, Anderson recorded a dismal 4-7 finish and subsequently accepted a head coaching position at Utah State.
This led to an opening for the Red Wolves, which Jones eagerly filled.
Early on in his career, Jones logged a 23-14 record at Cincinnati, then 27-13 while at Central Michigan, leading the two teams to four conference championship appearances within six years.
During his five years at the University of Tennessee (2013-17), Jones held a 34-27 record.
Jones is the only coach in the last 12 years of Tennessee Vols history to guide the team to two back-to-back nine-win seasons. Anderson, on the other hand, only touts one nine-win season in his career.

Tennessee lets Jones go
The Vols fired Jones during his fifth year with the team. He exited at the conclusion of the 2017 season when Missouri defeated Tennessee 50-17.
Jones then took a position as Alabama head coach Nick Saban's special offensive assistant in March 2018.
After dismissing Jones, Tennessee still owed him a buyout of $8.26 million – or $2.5 million per year, paid out in monthly installments.
Jones was required to mitigate the school's financial responsibility by finding comparable employment.
During his three seasons at Alabama, Jones made only $35,000 a year, producing a minimal dent in his damage reduction efforts.
Jones' buyout payments officially end on Feb. 28, 2021. By taking the position at Arkansas State, Jones mitigates the final months of his Tennessee severance package.
Putting the Jones in Jonesboro
As part of his first duties as A-State head coach, Jones secured 10 recruits for the 2021 season.
He has also already begun assembling his coaching staff, which includes former Tennessee graduate assistant Jon Shalala.
Shalala initially served under Jones from 2016-17 as a defensive graduate assistant.
He extended his position in 2018 under new Vols head coach Jeremy Pruitt and has worked as Mississippi State's defensive quality control coordinator for the past two years.
Potential Arkansas State line movement
Arkansas State exits the 2020 season ranked third in the Sun Belt West Division – behind Louisiana and South Alabama.
Current odds for the Red Wolves to win the 2021 Championship are +100,000 at DraftKings.
However, if Jones' past performances are any indication, another championship visit could be in the Red Wolves' future.
Johnny Avello, Director of Race and Sportsbook Operations at DraftKings, said:
"Butch Jones is a formidable selection for Arkansas State. He's won at a 60% clip for his career and been successful at three different schools. 2020 hasn't been the greatest of years for Arkansas State but expect good results in Jonesboro moving forward."
According to DraftKings, Arkansas State is ranked second in the Sun Belt West.
Keven Hennessy, Director of Publicity at FanDuel, is cautiously optimistic about the team's future:
"We don't expect a new hire to make any wild improvements until 2022. We have Ark State finishing the season ranked 7th in Sun Belt in terms of ratings. Their team rating dropped 4.5pts from the beginning of season. I expect one of their high-quality Sun Belt QB's to transfer in offseason and head into 2021 rated similarly as now."
Whether A-State will need a year to adjust to their new coach remains in question.
Bettors with faith in Jones will find value in team futures lines early on in the 2021 season.

Fr Patrick ('Paddy') Hurley was born in Kilcrohane, Co Cork on 27 June 1924. He was educated in Kilcrohane NS and St Colman's College, Fermoy, Co Cork.
Two other brothers, the late Dermot and Gerard were also Columban priests, and his sister Catherine was a Columban Sister and served as Congregational Leader. Paddy followed Dermot to Dalgan in 1942 and was ordained priest on 21 December 1948.
In 1949 he was assigned to the Philippines. In 1950, Paddy was among the first group of Columbans assigned to take over a rather remote block of parishes in the centre and south-west of Negros. There was a very poor system of roads, many of the churches had suffered damage during the war, and most of the parishes were without pastors.
The volcanic land was fertile, but most of it was owned by sugar barons who paid their seasonal workers miserable wages. After a brief period in Cauayan, Paddy was put in charge of Hinoba-an and Sipalay: he was the first priest to reside in these parishes since the days of the Spanish, fifty years earlier.
He became pastor of Kabankalan in 1955 and Binalbagan in 1958. Around this time also he invited the Presentation Sisters from Kilkenny to help organise secondary schools in the area. Under their leadership a series of excellent schools provided much-needed opportunities for secondary education.
Most of Paddy's time was taken up caring for the spiritual and material needs of his people involving numerous presidia of the Legion of Mary. Many poor farmers in his parishes could not afford to own a water buffalo.
So, with the help of friends and benefactors at home, Paddy organised a self-help project which ensured that a huge number of farmers could eventually own their own.
The work of the Columbans was so successful that many Columban parishes could be handed back to the diocese, and, through their encouragement of local vocations, there were local priests to staff them.
Paddy worked in Negros for more than sixty years. When ill health finally caught up with him he returned to the Columban Retirement Home in July 2011.
For the past eight years he kept busy at his prayers, kept in touch with a multitude of friends in Negros, was well-informed of everything that happened in the Region and enjoyed an occasional game of bridge with Columban colleagues.
Paddy was a dedicated, hard-working missionary and a dear friend of the Filipino people. We will miss his loyal presence in the oratory, in the dining-room and in the sun-room of the nursing home.


We'd all love to invite the energy of prosperity into our lives, but before we do, we need to make sure that our spiritual space is ready for the guest of honor. A clogged energy flow and a cluttered mindset that is closed off to fresh ideas, risks and opportunity, will not be a welcoming setting for prosperity. Instead, begin attracting that prosperity energy by getting the energy moving in your body with Garnet.
Many times, the difference between getting the opportunity you want, and getting passed over for someone else, is about carrying the right energy. Is your energy stuck or stagnant and blocking the flow of prosperity energy? Red Garnet gets the energy moving and flowing, dissolving any blockages that exist within your body. You will soon see a difference in your personal energy field. It brings a certain grounded-ness that reinvigorates your passion and your heart with a new found energy; one that has you feeling more connected to yourself in the present moment. Radiating with this energy can open new doors for those who choose to welcome it.
If you're ready to get rid of the stagnant energy cloud hanging above you, and shift your mindset toward one that sees prosperity on the horizon, then use the garnet meaning to create the energy of success. Heather swears by this ritual. If you can commit to doing it every morning, you will begin to see results.
Grab your Garnet stones and find a place inside or outside where you have enough room to stand comfortably and raise your hands above your head.
Facing north, place both of your feet firmly on the ground, about hip distance apart.
Place one Garnet stone in each hand and place them gently over your hip bones.
Begin to gently bend and straighten your knees, bouncing/bobbing up and down. Bounce up and down a total of 50 times. This movement gets the energy moving in your body to shake up any stuck energy and reestablish a smooth, continuous flow of energy throughout your body.
After you've finished the repetitions, stand upright. Move the crystals to your back, mirroring where they were placed on your front.
Gently bend back slightly and open your heart chakra up to the sky.
Stand upright, and hold your crystals up to the cosmos, inviting in the energy of the universe. Envision new opportunities and new doors opening for you.
Then, bend forward and take the crystals down to the ground, bringing all that energy back to the Earth. Envision the rootedness of the Earth aiding you in grounding these new opportunities and bringing them to fruition.
Bring your crystals to your heart, close your eyes and set a prosperous intention for the day. What are you looking to bring in?
After you're finished, open your eyes and place your crystals in a safe spot where they can be easily accessible every morning.
Repeat steps 1 to 10 each morning for 10, 21 or 40 days.
You are that line of connection that bridges the gap between the Earth and the cosmos. Through this daily ritual, you are aligning yourself with your passion, your heart and that of a higher power. You're creating a powerful circle or cycle of energy to change your state and open the flow of prosperity energy.


Colville Youth Sailing Academy sailing in Colville Bay.
It almost sounds like the name of a movie.
Along the lines of 'The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society'.
But the Colville Youth Sailing Academy is not fiction.
It's very real – and doing a wonderful job for the kids of one of the country's most far-flung and sport-starved communities.
If it were a movie – and that's not a bad idea actually – the hero would be Spike Mountjoy.
He's the academy's founder and commodore.
Spike decided that he was 'the someone' who could do something about the lack of organised recreational opportunities for the young'uns in little Colville town, the northernmost and most isolated population centre on the Coromandel Peninsula.
"It came out of wanting to give those young people an opportunity to develop those skills that come with sport," says Beth Pearfall, who is one of the academy's learn-to-sail coaches.
"Particularly like in sailing where you're out there and you're learning self-reliance, learning about the weather and everything that comes with that.
And also being part of an academy where you can progress, you can learn.
"It was formed really by Spike's passion for sailing.
"Spike lit the match, but many others, like Beth and Alex Hall, a highly experienced racing sailor from the United Kingdom, who's settled in the area, fuelled the fire.
They all agreed this was something the Colville community – home to a school with a roll of 36, one shop, two cafes, community hall, post office, the Colville Social Service Collective, medical centre and fire station, and not enough houses for all who want to live there – could pull together for the younger generation.
Following an informal start it was Yachting New Zealand's offer to run a coaching course in April last year that got the ball rolling more officially.
"We had eight local people come and they did two days of coach training," says Beth.
"So we got a whole lot of Yachting NZ qualified learn-to-sail coaches.
"The academy makes a point of catering for kids who like racing and those more into just pottering around.
"My sailing background has been in cruising, not racing," says Beth.
"So we're like: 'Let's take the boats and sail up the coast a bit and have a fire on the beach'.
"Others are better at racing, so they'll set up a course and have them practising tacks, etc.
"Some of the kids are really into racing and want to learn how to go faster.
And others, they just want to play on the water and go around the rocks and see what's over there.
"So it's nice to be able to offer those different things.
"Eleven-year-olds Kiahui and Piri sum up the thoughts of the kids.
"It's fun and a great way to spend your weekend," says Kiahui.
"Good to learn another new thing.
" "I like sailing," says Piri, "because I get to be in the elements and in the water and I can see sting rays and fishes".
Getting boats was no problem, with a number of generous donations.
Just P-classes and Optis at this stage, along with a Viking – like a mini Laser.
A few bigger boats for the older kids, who've progressed past the little sail trainers, to use would be wonderful, says Beth.
"We're being offered boats quite often and we can't take them because we don't have anywhere to put them.
"At the moment all our boats are stacked up in Alex's garage.
And every time we have to get the boats to the bay it's a big palaver.
It means sailing doesn't happen as often as it could.
"So a permanent base, with things like appropriate storage space and good washdown facilities, is the major item on the academy's agenda.
And for a small organisation, even one so rich in human dynamism, it's a big ask.
It's something, Beth says, the academy could do with some help on.
"It would be massive for us in making it more possible to offer the sailing.
Because at the moment the set-up is actually three hours.
"We do it because we love it but it is a lot of work.
"While funds and resources are short, one thing they have in plenty is local support.
"It's an amazing community effort," says Beth.
"Sometimes the firetruck will come down and hose down the boats, so that makes our washdown easy.
"One of the grandmothers of the kids is sewing reusable bags that you can take to the supermarket.
"We've got a screenprinting machine and printed a bunch of Colville Youth Sailing Academy logos, and she's sewing them onto the bags and selling them at the local store to fundraise for us.
"Money's a problem for us up here, but there's so much community spirit and it's such fun.
"For those moments and those opportunities that we're able to give the young people here, it is really special.
"Get in touch with the Colville Youth Sailing Academy through their Facebook page or call Beth on 021 237 8678 if you'd like to help, or donate.
Or perhaps get started with making that movie.


Thanks for joining us here at the Disney Parks Moms Panel!! Free dining is such a perk for a Walt Disney World Resort vacation, isn't it? It's usually offered during the slower times of year, and was just announced for this fall. Easter is one of the busiest times to visit the Walt Disney World Resort with many families taking their Spring Break vacations in sunny Florida to warm up after a cold winter up North. As a general rule, free dining is not offered during these times of year.
However, as a near-native of Florida, I've got to tell you that visiting during the times when free dining IS offered is worth it. The crowds are smaller, the temperatures are generally cooler and there's still so much fun stuff to see and do in all four theme parks (shameless plug here for my favorite fall event, Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party).
Well, Laura, I hope this helps you decide on the timing for your next Walt Disney World Resort vacation!


The paper discusses the primary and secondary endings of the Indo-European middle. It is suggested that, rather than being a local (Italo-Celtic) innovation, the r-endings of the middle voice represent a Proto-Indo-European archaism. Numerous middle forms containing the element -r- are found not only in the Tocharian languages, but also in most of the Anatolian languages attested in the second millennium BC (including Hittite, Palaic, Cuneiform Luvian and Hieroglyphic Luvian). Other Indo- European languages (including Greek and Indo-Iranian) display a zero marker, whereas the oldest Hittite texts attest the primitive feature -t-. The Old Hittite middle marker *-ti, it is claimed, was more archaic than its late variants *-ri as well as *-i. The original primary middle endings in non-Anatolian Indo-European should be reconstructed as follows: 1 sg. pres. *-mh2eŘi, 2 sg. *-sh2eŘi, 3 sg. *-toŘi, 1 pl. pres. *-mesdhh2oŘi, 2 pl. *-sdh(u)u̯ eŘi, 3 pl. *-ntoŘi for transitive verbs and 1 sg. *-h2e/oŘi, 2 sg. *-th2eŘi, 3 sg. *-oŘi, 1 pl. *-medhh2oŘi, 2 pl. *-dh(u)u̯ eŘi, 3 pl. *-roŘi for intransitive verbs. The Indo-European phoneme *Ř seems to be a refl ex of a Proto-Indo-European (i.e. Indo-Hittite) dental stop *Ď, probably identical with the Indo-European dental spirant *đ.

Science & Nature Culture & History,
Door County Couple Born Into Farming, Thriving By Diversifying
By Zac Schultz | October 24, 2018
At 5 a.m. it's still dark outside, but the lights are on in the barn at Cherryland Dairy in Door County. For Mike and Jamie Henschel and their three boys, milking time is often family time. Jamie tries to appreciate it, since two of her sons have jobs off the farm. "Early morning's my best time. I mean, the sun just peeking up. It's peaceful. It's calm."
Mike says the Henschel family came to Door County a century ago, drawn by cheap land prices. "My great-grandpa Ed moved up here from Elkhart Lake area in 1902. I think 12 cows, something like that, that great-grandpa had back then. Eighty acres. My grandpa Ray, took it over at the age of 18. He had four children and one son. That was my dad Roger and he ran it. And then in 2000, we purchased it. Jaime took the farm over from my parents."
Jamie grew up on a farm down the road. Mike and Jamie were kindred spirits growing up in an era when more and more of their classmates had no connection to the farm. "We knew what to talk about," says Jamie. "It was always what crop you're raising or how is harvesting going."
"I was 13 years old when I took the pigs over," says Mike Henschel. "That's when my dad had his first heart attack. And the pigs smell, you can't get [it] off your hands. I mean, you'd wash them. So I'd soak my hands in aftershave lotion, you know, and try to cover up the smell. I always say Jaime's the only girl I found that could handle the pig smells."
"I grew up on a farm. It's the natural aroma," says Jamie. "We married two years out of high school, and stayed right on the farm. And helped his parents out, until he took it over and started raising our own family."
Despite the chores and the routine of the animals, Mike and Jamie say there's always something new on the farm. "Just a little bit of a diversion. I mean, something different in a day."
That's because they do more than cows and corn. They cook and bottle their own maple syrup. They have bees for their own brand of honey. And because they're in Door County, they have a small cherry orchard. They also operate a sawmill. "Jaime saws a little over 200,000 board feet," says Mike. "So now, we call farming our hobby and the sawmill is our main job."
Add it all up and it's enough for a family farmer to get by. "Having the sawmill, all our diversification, really helps offset… and family labor. I mean, you don't count your hours," says Jamie.
Mike and Jamie were born farmers, but they made a choice to stay on the farm. It's a choice their boys will have to make as well. "It's been in this family; we're fourth generation. Our boys will be fifth," says Jamie.
"We're hoping," says Mike. "I mean, just like my dad was hoping that I'd take the farm over and I'm pretty sure our boys will be taking this over. Because they seem to like it so far."
After all, it's not a chore if you enjoy what you're doing. "Dad always says, 'Work is something you don't enjoy,'" says Mike. "So, hopefully, I never have to work."

Carrying 50 million people with 500 thousand active lifts daily, the industry will create national brands that operate on a global scale!
AYSAD, the Lift and Escalators Industrialists' Association, has prepared a "Global Turkish Brands in the Lift Sector: Survey and Suggestions" report at the request of the Turkish Ministry of Industry and Technology.
The report was prepared in light of recent information about the lift sector and presented to the Ministry authorities. It covers the industry's opinions and suggestions on establishing a domestic and national company. The Turkish Lift sector has a domestic market share which equates to 5% of the total new lifts installed around the World. The report contains striking information about the Turkish lift sector, which has a considerable export volume of lift components, and there are individual lift installation companies in more than 30 countries.
In 20128 there were 15 million active lifts around the world and 3% of those were in Turkey. It is expected that the urbanization rate will rise to 70% in 2050, it is currently 54%. This increase also points to increased demand for new lifts.
There are around 3 thousand lift installation companies in the Turkish Lift sector. 95% of the sector's market is for lifts in low and medium height buildings of up to 20 floors and the remaining 5% is for lifts in high rise buildings. While 70-75% of manufacturing is done by domestic lift companies, the share of foreign-invested companies is around 25-30%.
AYSAD Chairman Sefa TARGIT has made a statement about the report they presented to the Ministry. He said the Turkish Lift sector has a great export volume of lift components and there are individual lift installation companies in more than 30 countries. He also underlined the capability of national lift manufacturing and installation companies to meet the country's demands. He commented that they examined the sector and global brands abroad in detail, and in light of information gathered, they prepared 6 different models to be projected for having domestic and national brands that operate on a global scale. Targıt underlined, each model is projected for different needs and expectations, he said; "For example, selected private sector companies in different fields can gather under one brand to form a newly established lift installation company. There maybe special governmental incentives for this newly established lift installation company. Another suggestion might be, to establish a multi partnered enterprise for a global target with companies in the industry. Or a governmental development-support program could be used to turn some selected active companies, who are qualified in many fields, and have international sales and activity references, into global lift installation companies. The best model will be determined through well-attended consultations. However, we will need qualified entrepreneurs to establish national lift brands and take them global, no matter which model we choose".
Targıt commented that governmental institutions have an important role in creating Turkish domestic and national brands that operate on a global scale. He said; "First, current market conditions will be improved and specific government incentives aimed at the lift industry will be provided. Secondly companies who have global brand potential will be identified using the industry's record inventory". He highlighted that public administrations will put joint liabilities into effect and contracting companies shall also be held responsible for the first 10 years, as well as lift and maintenance companies. Targıt also commented that a whole range of applications will be actualised, from rearrangement of lift control companies and their authorisation, to establishing requirements for specific qualifications for exporting lift companies, such as obligatory energy efficiency certificates, to additional measures regarding imports.
Domestic and national companies, who aim to be global brands, will appear at the 16th International Asansör İstanbul!
Targıt mentioned that AYSAD continues their activities to create national lift brands that can operate on a global scale and underlined that they support the International Asansör Istanbul Fair, one of the top 3 events of its kind worldwide. The fair will take place from 21st – 24th March at Tüyap Fair & Congress Centre. He commented, domestic and national exhibitors will have an opportunity to showcase their new technology on an international scale at the fair's 16th edition. He continued that they will follow developing technologies in the industry, and meet international companies, including the world's major players.

Attrition: Compared to Vietnam
December7, 2006: In the last five years, 1.4 million American troops have served in Iraq, Afghanistan and adjacent areas. This includes navy (on land and ships at sea) and air force. Thus 414,094 army troops, and 150,074 marines were supported by 205,562 air force and 241,000 navy personnel. Taking into account those who have gone over two or more times, there have been two million troops in the combat zone. Eleven percent were women, and 28 percent were reservists. By ethnicity, 72.1 percent were white, 17 percent black, 9.6 percent Hispanic and the rest others. By time in service, 59.5 percent were in four years or less (new troops, on their first enlistment). Most of the remainder had been in 5-19 years, and three percent had been in 20 or more years. Even with all those young troops, 51.3 percent were married. By age, 4.8 percent were 17-19 years old, while 56.6 percent were in their 20s and 25.9 percent were in their 30s. Compared to past wars, casualties (24,000) were quite low, with only 1.7 percent getting killed or wounded in combat. Since most of the casualties were suffered by the army and marines, and these two services only supplied 40 percent of the personnel, their casualty rate was more like 4.2 percent. But that's still a third of the rate in Vietnam (12.5 percent, or 350,000 combat casualties for 2.8 million who served there). Proportionately, there were fewer air force personnel in bases outside Vietnam, and sailors offshore, than was the case today. There were slightly more than three times as many combat troops in Vietnam, than there are today in Iraq and Afghanistan. Also, fewer of the casualties were among support troops in Vietnam. The historically very low casualties among combat troops today has a lot to do with their high morale, and reenlistment rate.
The average trooper in Vietnam was a little younger than those today, and 35 percent were draftees. The Vietnam era soldier was less educated (79 percent at least high school grad, compared to 88 percent today). There were far fewer women in Vietnam, and fewer minorities (80 percent of the troops were white).
The American effort in Vietnam had popular support until the 1968 Tet campaign (an allied victory) was declared a defeat by the mass media. At that time, the fighting had been going on for three years, and Americans have, time and again, become much less supportive of any war that went on for more than three years. The higher casualties in Vietnam were also unpopular, even though they were lower than the World War II rate. Finally, there was the feeling that, it really didn't matter if the communists took over all of Vietnam. In the end, it didn't matter much to Americans, but it was a great tragedy for many Vietnamese. Millions fled the country, and millions more suffered decades of rule by a corrupt police state.

Farmingdale Greendogs Find Their Own Field Of Dreams

12U team makes Cooperstown tournament through coaches' sacrifices

Baseball is about tradition. For Farmingdale Baseball, one event that stands out is the annual trip to Cooperstown that revolves around the organization sending a 12U team to compete in this tournament for the past 20 years. It's a big enough deal that players from the in-house and travel programs, named the Farmingdale Greendogs, along with help from the town, fundraise for 12 months preparing to go to this event.
The Cooperstown tournament also represents the closing of a life chapter as it will be the last time many of these players will put on a uniform, as they will have aged out of the Little League program. Players as young as six years old in the Farmingdale program look forward to this series of games. It winds up being a monumental deal for the players, their parents and the community. With this many moving parts going into an endeavor of this size, the announcement 12 months ago that the prior coach was unable to continue coaching threatened to derail the 12U team attending this year's tournament. The timing for this unfortunate set of circumstances came right after tryouts and just as the players were embarking on a dozen months of fundraising.
The Farmingdale Baseball League embarked on a search for volunteers who could help salvage this highly anticipated experience. The enormity of the task—coaching the players, parent interaction, fundraising, getting uniforms, holding practices, filing reams of paperwork and applying to other tournaments to ensure the team was keeping their chops honed—made it immediately clear that no one wanted to take on this responsibility.
Just as it seemed like the curtain was falling on the Cooperstown tournament, Chris Horowitz, one of Farmingdale Baseball's vice-presidents and the Greendog's Travel Director for the league, immediately stepped up and made the decision to take the helm. Horowitz did this despite not having a child on the team while simultaneously coaching his own son's two other travel teams. Longtime Farmingdale resident Paul Quinn, who was also a coach and league director within Farmingdale Baseball, saw the the challenge and heavy burden Horowitz was taking on and also volunteered his services. And while Quinn also did not have a child on the team, his oldest son had played in Cooperstown many years before, so he had firsthand knowledge of how special an experience this tournament could be.
This extraordinary show of sacrice was one that floored Farmingdale Baseball Long Island Second Vice President Jim Loughlin.
"This team was led by two men who selflessly put their own time, family and other responsibilities aside in an effort to ensure that these boys would be led correctly and more importantly would not lose the opportunity to fulfill their dream of playing in Cooperstown," Loughlin said. "These men took on this team with the intention of making certain these boys had this unforgettable experience. The focus was never to be the best or to win the tournament, but to simply give these boys and experience that otherwise was taken from them for no fault of their own."
Horowitz and Quinn pooled their coaching acumen together and had their Greendogs tirelessly practicing, fundraising and preparing for the last time they would be going out and representing Farmingdale.
"We went in with the idea of not necessarily winning, but rather experiencing the thrill of the game and basking in the entire experience," Horowitz said.
The combination of preparation and playing with nothing to lose had the Greendogs overachieving, earning themselves a place in the playoffs and advancing to the semi-finals in their division before ultimately losing.
The actions of two men coming together for the greater good of the baseball community and the children resonated with Diane Herbert, whose son William plays on the team.
"As we shared this experience together, we stopped frequently and remind ourselves that this trip is possible because of two Daler men, Chris Horowitz and Paul Quinn, who volunteered almost a full year of their time to make this experience happen," she said. "Neither of these men have sons on this team. And one of them had the heartbreak of not being able to experience this tournament with his own son last year during COVID-19. Chris and Paul did not just give up a few hours on a random day, but have spent several hundred hours coaching our boys throughout the spring and summer, taking time out of their weekdays and weekends to practice and be on the field with our boys in all weather conditions. They planned and ordered special keepsakes to make their memories even better and took care of all of the administrative annoying tasks that come with a tremendous trip like Cooperstown. They helped our boys and families organize fundraisers to minimize the financial burden and were non-stop enthusiasts from the moment this journey started until now. Eleven Daler baseball players and their families will return to Farmingdale soon with memories that are forever etched in our hearts thanks to Chris Horowitz and Paul Quinn."
It's a sentiment echoed by league president Joann Vazquez.
"What these men have done for these boys and our organization is a perfect example of two men paying it forward. I could not be more proud of them both," she said.

Q: IBM JMS connection I'm currently working in C# and I need to check the state of the JMS connection that i made (whether it's connected / disconnected). I'm sure that I can connect and disconnect succesfully..its just that i need to display the status of the connection in my UI.
Is there any properties of the JMS connection that states connection status? Or is there any other method that i can use to check the connection status?
Thanks for your help. :)

Currently, I'm using the ExceptionListener to listen for any exceptions and a flag will be set to false when any exception is catched. And when I'm connecting, I will set the flag to true vice versa when i disconnect, I will set the flag to false.
This flag will be used by my UI to detect whether the connection is up or not.
However I was thinking that if theres any property / methods of the IBM connection which can be used to show the state of the connection as its a much better solution. For SonicMQ, theres .getConnectedState() which shows whether the connection is active or inactive. I was wondering whether if IBM have something similar to SonicMQ?

A: You can use the Connection.setExceptionListener() method to be notified asynchronously of exceptions detected in the connection.  If a problem is detected the onException() method is called.
Be sure to set the FAILIFQUIESCE property on the factories and destinations so that your connection is notified and closed in an orderly fashion when the QMgr is shut down by the administrator.
In v7 of WMQ it is possible so enable session reconnection in the transport.  In this case, the application may not be aware that the connection was interrupted but you can treat it as having been continuously connected.
Note that, for the most part, exceptions are driven by the application's API calls.  So if the connection is lost, you may not know about it in real time but rather find out when an API call is made.  If the application sits idle for long periods of time and you want a real-time display of connection status.  Please see also "How to find out if JMS Connection is there?" for more on that topic.
WMQ v7 has options to reconnect the client automatically.  You must be using v7 at both the client and the server for this to work.  Since v6 is end-of-life as of Sept 2011, it is best if you develop this app on v7.  You can download the v7 client as SupportPac MQC7.  When JMS client reconnect is enabled, the application may not be aware of the connection activity except as a delay in responding to an API call while the connection is rebuilt.  The length of that delay depends on channel tuning set by the administrator and in the connection factory.

For your Source choose Dropbox from the drop-down list and click Next.
Click the Authorize button. Your web browser will appear. Login to Dropbox (if you need to) then click Allow when asked by Dropbox if you want to allow SyncBackPro access to your files and folders. Return to SyncBackPro and click the OK button. SyncBackPro will then tell you it has been authorized. Click OK.
Click Done. You have now left the Profile Wizard window and are now in the Profile Setup window.
You now need to tell SyncBackPro which folder on your Dropbox account you want to backup. Click the folder icon button next to the Dropbox button. A window will appear for you to choose the folder. Double-click the Camera Uploads folder then click OK.
You now need to tell SyncBackPro where to backup those Dropbox files to. Click the folder icon button next to the Destination button, choose a folder and then click OK.
That's it! Click the OK button to save the profile and optionally do a simulated run to make sure everything is working. If all is OK then you could run it to make an initial backup and then schedule the profile to run every day.
When you initially run your first Dropbox profile it may take a long time to find the changes but on subsequent runs it will be faster. This is because of the Dropbox delta feature where SyncBackPro can ask for a list of changes since the last time the profile was run. If you've never run the profile then it can take a long time to get all the initial changes. To not use the delta feature: modify your profile, switch to Expert mode, go to the Cloud->Advanced settings page and enable the option Do not use the Dropbox delta API or disable the option Retrieve a list of all the files and folders then filter.
To use FTP, you will need FTP client software and an FTP server. You also need to know the server address, the username, and a password and port number. The basic information you need in order to log in successfully follows:You may want to create more profiles to backup other files from Dropbox or backup files to Dropbox. To avoid having the re-authorize each profile with Dropbox you could create a shared setting and have all your Dropbox profiles use it.
Select a profile in the main SyncBackPro window that already uses Dropbox and click the Modify button.
Go to the Cloud settings page and click the New button in the Shared Settings group box (near the top-right of the window).
A dialog will appear asking if you want to switch shared settings. Click Yes.
Enter a name for the new shared setting, e.g. My Dropbox, and click OK.
Save the profile by clicking OK.
You are returned to the main SyncBackPro window.
Select the profile in the main SyncBackPro window that uses Dropbox and click the Modify button.
Go to the Cloud settings page and select your shared setting from the drop-down list in the Shared Settings group box.
In the SyncBackPro main window click the New button (or press Ctrl+N).
Choose the appropriate profile type, e.g. Backup, and click Next.
For your Source or Destination choose the shared setting from the drop-down list, e.g. if your Dropbox shared setting is called My Dropbox then that will appear in the list.
SyncBackPro developed by 2BrightSparks not only offers great Cloud integration, users also enjoy Amazon S3, Google Storage and Microsoft Azure support, as well as the ability to backup emails stored on a POP3/IMAP4 server, scripting, and a wealth of advanced customizable functions and features.

Hm, I suppose I somewhat feel the same. This forum was a rather big part of my boyhood. I've been a bit more fortunate and have retained a lot of my friends that I've made on the forums and the game, though certainly not all.
Wow! I'm staying active on the forums so far.

Control Isn't Coming To Xbox Game Pass, Remedy Says [Update]
The Game Pass library continues to grow, but apparently not with Control.
By Richard Wakeling | @richardwakeling on December 5, 2019 at 9:24AM PST
Phil Spencer, head of Xbox and the guy currently playing Microsoft's next-gen console (codenamed Project Scarlett) at home, says Remedy's sci-fi shooter Control is coming to Xbox Game Pass. [Update: Remedy itself has disputed the claim, saying in a tweet that it has "no news or announcements regarding Xbox Game Pass at this time." That's not to say it won't ever come to Game Pass, but it appears such a release is not imminent.]
The information about Control coming to Xbox Game Pass as reported on a recent Mixer stream is incorrect. We have no news or announcements regarding Xbox Game Pass at this time.
— Control (@ControlRemedy) December 5, 2019
The Xbox boss casually revealed the news during a recent Extra Life stream on Mixer. When discussing his favourite games of the year with developers from 343 Industries, Spencer said, "I thought Control was really good. It didn't reach enough people, so I'm glad to see that it's coming to Game Pass so hopefully more people will play it." You can watch him discuss Control around the 44-minute mark.
It's a surprising tidbit to reveal during a mellow live stream, especially since Microsoft just announced a slew of new games coming to Xbox Game Pass during the month of December--Control not included. It's another feather in Game Pass's cap, though, and as Spencer said, it should hopefully result in a wider audience playing the game. Remedy recently expressed its satisfaction with Control's sales performance, even though it failed to top the charts when it launched back in August. But its inclusion on Game Pass gives more people an opportunity to play one of 2019's best games.

The star of this dish is skordalia, a garlicky dip that is the Greek version of aioli.
Cook potato in medium saucepan of boiling salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain. Cool completely. Blend nuts, * cup oil, lemon juice, garlic and oregano in processor 1/3 until almost smooth. Add potato, 1/3 cup oil and 2 tablespoons water. Using on/off turns, process just until potato is blended and mixture is creamy (do not over-process or mixture will become sticky).
Transfer mixture to medium bowl. Mix in parsley. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.) Serve with vegetables.
Not good at all. Definitely not worth the effort. I ended up just putting some Ranch dressing out for the guests. I should have checked the ratings first. I usually do but this time I just made it from the magazine.
I mean, like my roommate said, "it's a dip." It's alright. Probably not something I'd make again. There are better things to dip your vegetables in.
One of the worst recipies I've ever made from Bon Appetit. The texture was horrible, the color awful and the taste bland. I served it at a party and no one touched it after the first taste.
I made this dip before a party and had to salvage it because I had no backup. I took half of it and added sour cream and grated cheese and that made it ok to serve. Otherwise it was so bland and I agree that it doesn't look appealing either.
I wasn't happy with the end result of this "dip" (actually more of a spread). It was an unappealing brownish-grayish color, although the flavor was decent. Is someone else were to attempt this recipe, I would suggest using whole, blanched almonds in stead of the walnuts, since it was the walnut skins that caused the wierd color. I served it at a party and most of it was left over at the end.
Great dip -- I'm glad I tried it despite the negative reviews. It's also very good served with crackers or bread & is always a huge hit with my friends.
Sometimes I wish I would LISTEN! I always double the garlic and I wasn't going to on this recipe after reading the reviews and then I forgot. So don't make that mistake. This is an interesting way to get a creamy dip without yogurt, mayo, or sour cream. I wouldn't serve it to company but my husband wolfed it down. It tasted especially good with red and yellow bell peppers. Walnuts and olive oil are touted as a preventitive for almost every ailment so I felt good eating dip for a change.
Almost skipped this after reading the unfavorable reviews.Glad I tried it though.A good way to sneak in a vegetable course too. Overprocessing will ruin it.And only the freshest,high-quality ingredients will make it worthwhile.
Boring and more trouble than it's worth. It was the only appetizer I made over the holidays that didn't get devoured.
This recipe is way too garlicky. Could be better if you use half the garlic. Even with less garlic, I think that the recipe would be just so-so.
Very popular as an appetizer, great for lactose or dairy free crowds! I have made this dish several times by request.


Today a legend who was asked by the Chinese government to give a speech to government officials in China, spoke with King World News about the bear raid taking place in the gold and silver markets.
John Ing continues: "Sure we get these high-frequency trades to the downside every now and then, but it's becoming more and more difficult to push the price of gold lower.
What we are seeing is steady accumulation of physical gold. For example, recently Russia added 13 tonnes of gold to their growing hoard in the month of September. In fact, the Russians have now been purchasing gold for 20 months in a row.
We also have China, who continues to be a large buyer. In fact, imports of gold were up 9 percent in the month of September. Eric, the problem is that everybody tends to look at the numbers out of China but they really don't know how to interpret them. As an example, the most important thing in the recently released figures is the fact that the banks in China across the board continue to be buyers of physical gold. This data is supported by the Shanghai Gold Exchange, which is now the largest physical gold market in the world.
India's Gold Demand Soars A Staggering 25 Percent!
But despite the shenanigans in the paper gold market, the bears are pushing against the seasonal strength of India and Diwali. In fact, India's physical gold demand was up a staggering 25 percent! So yes, there has been steady, steady physical gold demand.
Against this very strong physical gold backdrop there have been a lot fewer physical supplies of gold. We have just seen in the last quarter that there were mixed results for the producers. We have seen many companies encountering production problems. That tells me that even at the higher price of gold, some of these mining companies are still having difficulty. This negatively affects the total annual gold production. In fact, next year I am looking for lower production from a lot of these producers. So that will further tighten an already strained physical market.
***KWN has now released the extraordinary audio interview with Egon von Greyerz, where he gives KWN listeners a look what is really happening behind the scenes globally and in the gold market, and you can listen to it by CLICKING HERE OR ON THE IMAGE BELOW.

Driving while drowsy can be one of the most dangerous actions a person can take.

You can also contact the firm online.
Risks of Drowsy Driving
A driver that is operating a vehicle while drowsy can pose many of the same risks as a drunk driver. While many car accidents occur because a motorist was drunk, many drunk drivers and drowsy drivers exhibit similar symptoms. For example, drunk drivers and drowsy drivers are both prone to falling asleep at the wheel. Other dangerous behaviors exhibited by drowsy drivers include:
Failure to drive within their lane
Noticeable decrease in reaction time
Inability to make sound decisions while driving
According to studies conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in the past, about 1 in 25 adult drowsy drivers have admitted to falling asleep while operating a vehicle. The NHTSA has also estimated that thousands of accidents occur every year due to drowsy driving and that many instances of drowsy driving car accidents have gone unreported.
Drowsy driving in Queens, NY is more common among people who work in certain industries or that work extensive hours. For example, drivers of commercial trucks and buses are more inclined to drive drowsy due to working long hours. Other individuals that are likely to drive drowsy include:
Shift workers or people that work night shifts (e.g., nurses, doctors, etc.)
Drivers for ridesharing companies or taxi companies
There are other reasons why a person may be driving while drowsy. For example, if the driver has an undiagnosed sleep disorder or the driver frequently takes medication that causes drowsiness, they can be a danger to others on the road.
To learn more about liability for a drowsy driving accident, you should consult with an experienced Queens drowsy driving accident lawyer.
Liability for a Drowsy Driving Accident in Queens
The fault for a drowsy driving accident in Queens will fall on the negligent party that caused the accident. This means that a victim should pursue compensation from the insurance company that insures the drowsy driver. However, if the victim suffered extensive injuries and damage to their vehicle, the compensation provided by the insurance company may not be enough to manage their expenses. In this case, the claimant may have to file a personal injury lawsuit against the driver to recover damages.
In other cases, there could be multiple parties that can be held liable for a drowsy driving car accident. As mentioned, many drowsy drivers have jobs within the transportation industry. Additionally, some drivers may cause an accident while they are completing a task for an employer. If this happens, the employer could be held responsible for the actions of their negligent driver.
An employer can be held liable for the actions of an employee under the doctrine of "respondeat superior." This doctrine states that an employer can be vicariously liable for the actions of an employee if they committed negligence while performing a task that was within the scope of their employment. For example, if a drowsy truck driver collides with a passenger vehicle while transporting materials for their employer, the accident may be imputed to their employer.
Vicarious liability can also be a factor in accidents that occur while using a rideshare service. However, there are various requirements that can limit a victim's right to recover for their injuries. For example, if an Uber driver caused an accident before opening their application to accept a ride, this can affect Uber's liability in the accident.
When to File a Car Accident Lawsuit in Queens, NY
If a drowsy driver injured you in Queens, NY, a personal injury lawsuit may be your best option for recovering compensation for your injuries. However, potential plaintiffs should be aware that their claims are subject to the statute of limitations.
The statute of limitations determines the length of time that a claimant has to file a lawsuit with a court. The filing deadline is dependent upon the type of claim that a person wishes to file, meaning a personal injury lawsuit could have a shorter deadline than a medical malpractice lawsuit.
In New York, the statute of limitations for a personal injury lawsuit is three years from the date of the accident. When a claimant does not file their lawsuit within three years, they open the door to the possibility that the court could bar their claim. This typically occurs by a motion from the defendant that was sued. It would be rare if a defendant failed to identify that the statute of limitations had been exceeded.

I have always liked the number 6. To me it was a nice gentle number, rounded edges, not too much but enough.
But two 6's in 9 hours has changed my opinion.
The first 6 ( a 6.8 aftershock) arrived at 3 AM. I was sleeping soundly in my bed, to be awoken by the sound of dogs barking, and everything moving. By the time I really started thinking the shaking was tapering off. It took a long time to relax enough to get back to sleep.
The second 6 ( a 6.7) arrived at just before 12 noon.
I was in the main office of the Fundation in Portoviejo. I had been tasked with some website work, trying to get a grip on Drupal ( something I have avoided for years). I was working at a table in the corner while a meeting was just getting started in the centre of the room when the 6.7 aftershock started rolling in.
It started small and continued to build. The reactions of the lpeople in the meeting is what I found most telling. One made her way towards the door to move outside, another got on the floor to be protect herself under the desk, two others sat in their chairs waiting it out and one just broke down crying in shear terror. You can tell from their reactions they had done this before…. And they didn't want to do it again.
After the shaking stopped water was offered to some, others made their way outside, and there were more tears. These were tears of frustration… enough already.
Outside in the courtyard, the workers of the Fundation ( mostly women) were frantically trying to contact family on their cells, while comforting other staff and patients. There were nurses checking the blood pressure of patients and some staff members. I assume the nurses know which staff has heart conditions that need to be monitored.
There were patients in pyjamas and eye patches, there were children running around or just standing screaming and crying, the ever present street dogs, and a lot of people panicked and frustrated. They knew they were safe, but what about their loved ones? Most people had cell phones to their heads or where alternating between dialing and listening, dialing and listening, dialing and listening, dialing and listening.
The cell phone networks were overloaded. No one could get through to family. ( about 15 minutes later I got a text from the network saying to use SMS and not voice during emergencies) Slowly you could see some people have quick conversations, put their phones away and relax a bit. Some broke down in tears of joy, and there were a few smiles.
It was a strange set of emotions I went through, fear, frustration, anger ( stop already!!) and a deep sense of loneliness. It took me a few minutes to understand the loneliness part, there was no one I really needed to contact to say I was OK. It didn't matter to me if the cell network functioned.
The Fundation closed for the rest of the day, so after waiting about 1/2 an hour to see if I could to be of some use, I walked to the bus terminal. I turned down several offers of rides, because I needed to clear my head. All along the route people were in the street. People do not trust their houses.
So 6 you were once my friend, but I have had enough, I hope I never deal with you again ( or any larger number) and I will be happy with 3… 3 I can deal with.
