It's not hard to understand why the practice of sending service jobs overseas has increasingly become the focus of newspaper and magazine articles, television reports, academic studies, politicians and even online organizing by angry tech workers. Offshoring-the word given to the practice-raises concerns that we might be witnessing the beginning of the largest out-migration of these jobs in the nation's history.
A nation accustomed to the disappearance of manufacturing jobs is now confronting the reality of highly skilled and educated workers potentially being as vulnerable as their blue collar brethren to their jobs going overseas. People who thought their training and career choice would keep them safe are finding out otherwise.
According to a recent Gallup Poll, 61 percent of Americans are concerned that they, or a friend or relative, might lose a job because the employer is moving it to another country. Another survey by the Employment Law Alliance found that 30 percent of those who responded know someone who lost his or her job to offshoring. And even just the threat of jobs being offshored can have a chilling effect on workers. When jobs are seen to be at risk, workplace progress and morale suffer as workers are reluctant to push for time off, flexible hours, better pay, health benefits and other aspects critical to their rights and dignity.
To be clear, outsourcing refers to a company contracting with another vendor for functions that the company traditionally performed itself. Offshoring is when a company outsources contracts to vendors overseas or sends the work to its own satellite offices overseas. It has become especially prevalent in such areas as software programming, data entry, call centers and other service-oriented work.
So today, workers in India, the Philippines and elsewhere process tax returns for Ernst & Young, make reservations for Delta Air Lines customers and answer state government hotlines. Indeed, offshoring received national attention in 2002, when it was reported that calls to toll-free numbers set up to help New Jersey residents with their electronic welfare or food stamp cards were being answered by operators in Bombay.
Until a few years ago, it was impossible for such work to be done outside the U.S. Technology changed that. Satellites and high-speed undersea telecom cables as well as deregulation of telecommunications in the U.S., Europe and Asia mean firms can send scanned documents overseas for processing less expensively than before. And the convergence of a variety of software applications makes it possible for global operations to work in a common software environment. In addition, liberalization of markets in Asia and Eastern Europe mean that entrepreneurs in those areas can now respond quickly to outsourcing opportunities. Affordable videoconferencing makes face-to-face contact across the globe commonplace while the Internet, with its e-mail, instant messaging and other applications, facilitates communication between areas and helps management keep in touch. As Nandan Nilekani, chief executive of Infosys Technologies, said, "Everything you can send down a wire is up for grabs."5 Major recipients of offshored jobs are India, China, Philippines, Ireland, Canada, Mexico, Pakistan and Russia.
This report will look at jobs that have gone overseas from New Jersey and jobs in the state that are particularly vulnerable to offshoring in the future, explain the implications that this potential job loss could have on the economy and suggest appropriate policy responses.

Grant in St. Louis
US Grant in 1844, courtesy National Park Service.
When Ulysses S. Grant arrived in St. Louis in September 1843, he was twenty-one years old, weighed 117 pounds, and had a bad cough. Back home in Bethel, Ohio, a barefoot stableman had dressed up like Grant and paraded down the street, apparently drunk, to mock his new second lieutenant's uniform.
On the plus side, Grant was a graduate of West Point, America's premiere engineering school in the first half of the nineteenth century, and was being stationed at the largest military post in the country, Jefferson Barracks, which would play an important national role for decades.
Grant excelled at math and riding, "was devoted to novels, but not those of a trashy sort," and promptly fell in love with his classmate's sister, who lived five miles west of the Barracks. He and Julia Dent agreed to marry in 1844, but before they could get it done he was deployed to the Louisiana frontier and then to the war in Mexico, and the couple saw each other only once in four years and three months. They finally married in 1848. There were more army separations until 1854, when Grant resigned his commission and returned to St. Louis.
But St. Louis was not always easy for the Grants. He barely held on for four years as a farmer—note the name of his one property, "Hardscrabble," out where Grant's Farm is now—and the statue of Grant at Market and Tucker in the city is said to mark a place he used to sell cordwood, which he had felled and split himself, at no great profit. He tried real estate collections and could not make a go; he was passed over for the job of County Engineer. In 1860 he and his family moved to Galena, Illinois, so he could take a job as a clerk in his father's leather-goods store.
Grant's prospects did not seem particularly promising, but as he writes in his memoirs, "One of my superstitions had always been when I started to go somewhere, or to do anything, not to turn back, or stop until the thing intended was accomplished."
Lucky for us. This part of the Midwest produced Grant, Lincoln, John Hay, John Nicolay, and fourteen Union generals, including John Logan, and John Schofield. William T. Sherman lived and worked in St. Louis at times.
The Midwest also provided grain, livestock, dairy, ore, wood, salt, and leather for the Union. Its factories made war materiel, and shipyards in St. Louis and Cairo built Union ironclads. Three-quarters of a million men from the Midwest served—one in eight residents, from a variety of backgrounds.
Mark Twain was a Confederate soldier for two weeks, but his unit of Missouri irregulars disbanded in part because they heard a Union colonel was sweeping through northern Missouri with a regiment to destroy them all. The colonel was US Grant, and of course he and Twain became friends and publishing partners later in life. Huck Finn, published half a year before Grant died in 1885, ties the St. Louis region and the lower River by its action, and lets even a rough child see that slavery is wrong.
Grant's legacy has been re-evaluated for the better in the last decade, and in the age of neo-Confederatism and Lost Cause devotees, his memoirs still sting:

Золотой стандарт в медицине — оптимальное сочетание диагностических методов или терапевтических мероприятий, позволяющих достичь наилучших результатов в диагностике или лечении.

Золотой стандарт диагностики представляет собой комплексную программу диагностических обследований, позволяющих врачу сформировать целостное представление о состоянии здоровья обследуемого пациента, а также выявить имеющиеся у него патологические состояния и выработать эффективную тактику и схему их лечения.

История
Известно, что многие, даже существующие длительное время медицинские традиции и «общепризнанные методы» до сих пор не были подвергнуты адекватной научной проверке. Тем не менее, некоторые новые идеи, возникавшие в медицине в поисках путей повышения её эффективности, стали иногда метафорически называть «золотым стандартом» — например, «золотой стандарт терапии».

В России термин «золотой стандарт» в медицинском обиходе применялся в 2008 году к коронароангиографии и к суточному мониторингу артериального давления, в 2011 году — к проспективным рандомизированным контролируемым исследованиям (ПРКИ) в интенсивной терапии (с оговоркой что этот «золотой стандарт» доказательной медицины нередко трудновыполним), в 2012 г. в гинекологии — к двухэнергетической рентгеновской абсорбциометрии при денситометрии костной ткани.

В доказательной медицине
В области доказательной медицины «золотым стандартом» могут называть рандомизированные контролируемые (проспективные) испытания с двойным или тройным «слепым» контролем. Эти исследования относятся к так называемому I классу исследований. Материалы этих испытаний и проведенный на их основе метаанализ должны использоваться в медицинской практике в качестве источника наиболее достоверной информации. Хорошо спланированные открытые экспериментальные исследования, обсервационные проспективные и ретроспективные, относятся ко II классу. При известной доле критичности результаты этих испытаний могут применяться в практике.

Неоднозначность словоупотребления
Суждение о том или ином методе медицинской диагностики, как о «золотом стандарте», является субъективно-оценочным, поскольку не имеет привязки к какой-либо официально утверждённой системе стандартизации. За рубежом вопрос о такой стандартизации ставился, но так и не был однозначно решён. Тем временем, использование термина «золотой стандарт» () за пределами сферы экономики и финансов, где он изначально возник (обозначая денежную систему, единица расчётов которой привязана к стандартизированному количеству золота), вызывает неоднозначность.

В первое десятилетие XXI века применение термина «золотой стандарт» в мировой медицине стало объектом критики. В зарубежной медицинской литературе и периодике появились материалы, доказывающие, что конкретные методики, преподносимые как «золотой стандарт», таковыми на самом деле не являются.

После этого англоязычные издательства научной литературы стали предпринимать меры против злоупотребления «звонкой фразой». Так, руководство по стилистике, выпущенное Американской ассоциацией медиков (AMA Style Guide), запрещает авторам использовать словосочетание «gold standard», рекомендуя вместо него более нейтральное «критериальный стандарт» (). Эти же требования в 2007 году поддержала и редакция Архивов биологической медицины и реабилитации ().

I don't like to use the word "stock" when it comes to cows. The connotation is that they are simply economic units. Yes, we do rely on their milk for our living but, no, they are not simply the equivalent of black-and-white boxes in a grassy warehouse. We burn the midnight oil, holding down second jobs during tough times so the cows will never know a lean year.
A sick cow is more important than our own dinners.
Nor are male calves "low-value by-products" of dairying. Maybe for some but not for me. Absolutely not. Rather than shooting them (the economically rational path), our family chooses to make a loss rearing the bull calves for the first few days of their lives and then selling them to beef-farming locals.
In the same vein, I am not a "milk producer" but a farmer. Somehow, "producer" conjures up factories and production lines, while nothing could be further from the truth here. We nurture our animals and the land because we understand that nature is bigger than we are. Sounds trite and fluffy? Perhaps, but it's the reality.
There is no financial reward for such an attitude and in the teeth of the economic crisis most dairy farmers have suffered in recent times, the pressure's been on to make every conceivable saving but here's how I look at it: if you're not able to make a dollar out of farming this year, you should at least be able to feel good about the way you farm.
If farming this way is not viable, I would rather not be a farmer.
← Devondale's new TV ads spread the love, but who to?
Hang in there Marian, we all need farmers like you!
Thanks CYB. It's a very good question and probably the most common one I am asked.
The answer is that some cows are quite maternal while others are not maternal at all and simply wander off.
The maternal ones I feel sorry for: they are upset by the separation for up to about 48 hours.
The calves seem to adapt extremely well pretty much straight away. We put them in with mates in a warm shed for about a week before they're back in the sunshine.
It is interesting when forces from conservative economics begin driving the language we use. As a primary school teacher of many years we have gone from teaching kids, to students/ pupils, to clients. Somehow looking into the eyes of an excited kindergarten child and referring to them as 'your client' just doesn't seem to fit.
However, we have now been directed to refer to our kids as 'stake holders'. It is a result of a mix of politics and economics that is increasingly driving the direction of education. So maybe you could start calling your cows 'stake holders'??? Makes you sound more corporate!
Love the stakeholders idea, Big Pete. Maybe I should be paying the cows super.
In today's world farming has evolved hugely as a business, its really hard to stick to the traditions like Marian is doing and I wish him all the very best. We in India also have lot of farmers that do farming in the traditional way Dairy farming in India.

In first, Diaspora Jew to light Israeli Independence Day torch
By TAMARA ZIEVE
Culture and Sport Minister Miri Regev announced this week that for the first time, a member of Diaspora Jewry will be selected for the honor of lighting a torch at the annual Independence Day ceremony held on Mt. Herzl.
Every year, Israeli movers and shakers are selected to light a beacon, in line with the annual theme. This year, the theme of the will be the 50th anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem, and Regev decided to dedicate one of the torches to the Jewish people, naming the torch as such.
The Ministerial Committee for Ceremonies and Symbols, headed by Regev, will choose the candidate from nominations made by Diaspora Jews, who will be invited to throw their suggestions into the hat with the launch of a campaign next week.
The committee calls upon the public to propose a candidate "who personifies the concern and work being done for the future of the Jewish people, and reinforces the link between the world Jewry and Israel."
The ministry stated that the decision is intended to "highlight the fact that Israel is the national home of the entire Jewish people and as such it is the one permanent home and safe haven of each and every Jew, wherever he or she may be."
Nominations may be made via email to masuot@most.gov.il until an April 3 deadline.

USS United States (CVA-58) was to be the lead ship of a new design of aircraft carrier. On 29 July 1948, President Harry Truman approved construction of five "supercarriers", for which funds had been provided in the Naval Appropriations Act of 1949. The keel of the first of the five planned postwar carriers was laid down on 18 April 1949 at Newport News Drydock and Shipbuilding. The program was canceled in 1949, United States was not completed, and the other four planned carriers were never built.

Design
The chief proponent for the new large carrier was Admiral Marc Mitscher. He wanted a carrier that would be able to handle the most effective weapons of the day. Early design discussions centered around developing a carrier that would be able to support combat missions using the new jet aircraft. These were faster, larger and significantly heavier than the aircraft the - and -class carriers were handling at the end of the Second World War. It was thought that the aircraft carried would have to have longer range to allow the carrier to operate farther away from the target. The deck would have to be able to handle the weight of the heavy jet aircraft landing on the deck. The implication was that the ship's strength deck would have to be the flight deck rather than the hangar deck, as had been the case for earlier U.S. carriers. Armoring the flight deck would mean the ship would have a greater tendency to roll in rough seas, as a greater part of the ship's weight would be high above the waterline.

Based on the size of the aircraft that the new ship was to carry, the design of the carrier was to be flush decked, meaning that the ship would have no island control structure. This would be done to create more space for large winged aircraft. The flush-deck design carried with it two major concerns. The first concern was over how smoke from the power plants would be diverted from the flight deck. This had been a major issue with the US Navy's first aircraft carrier, , in the 1920s when carrier development was first underway. The second concern was the placement of early warning radar equipment to allow the ship to detect incoming attacks. One solution was for a command ship to be close by which would carry the commander of the task force and the early detection radar. The command ship would radio electronic information and orders from its command center over to the carrier. This command ship role was termed a 'pilotfish' and the  would be built in part to fulfill this role. A second solution was for the ship to carry aircraft that could fly the early warning radar. These would fly overhead and detect approaching aircraft. In truth, the ship as designed would not be able to safely operate by itself, but would need to operate in conjunction with traditional fleet carriers as a complementary bomber-carrier. In fact, the ship was being designed on the basis of the aircraft that it was thought it would carry, and these were based on projections of what aircraft would be in existence in the period 1952 to 1960.

Discussions included debate on the aircraft carrier's mission. One view was that it would carry a group of large bombers that would be secured to the flight deck, with no hangar for these aircraft, as they would be too large to move up and down in an elevator. Though they would be built to carry large, nuclear weapons, the total amount of space used for munition storage would be reduced as multiple strikes would not be likely.  A small hangar deck would be available for a limited fighter escort and a small magazine for a small number of heavy nuclear weapons. Another plan was that it could be built with conventional attack capability with a large hangar deck for a large air wing and a large magazine. The nuclear attack supporters won in the initial design stage, but the design was modified to carry more fighters. The flush-deck United States was designed to launch and recover the 100,000 pound (45 t) aircraft required to carry early-model nuclear weapons, which weighed as much as five tons. The ship would have no permanently raised island or command tower structure. It would be equipped with four aircraft elevators located at the deck edges to avoid decreasing the structural strength of the flight deck. Four catapults would be used to launch aircraft, with two at the bow and two others on the outer edge of the deck staggered back. The carrier was designed so that it could land aircraft at the rear while at the same time launching aircraft from the catapults at the bow and forward area simultaneously. The construction cost of the new ship was estimated at US$189 million (equivalent to US$ billion in ).

Proposed operations
USS United States was designed with the primary mission of carrying long-range bomber aircraft that could carry a heavy enough load to undertake nuclear bombardment missions. It would also carry long range escort fighters that would fly along and protect its bombers. The ship could also take on other roles, such as providing air support for amphibious forces and to conduct sea control operations, but it was primarily to be a "bomber carrier". It was thought it would operate in a task force coupled with traditional attack carriers, which would provide the air cover for the task force. That mission was virtually certain to make the ship a target of inter-service rivalries over missions and funding. The United States Air Force viewed United States as a challenge to their monopoly on strategic nuclear weapons delivery.

Keel laying; cancellation

Looking to cut the military budget and accepting without question the Air Force argument on nuclear deterrence by means of large, long-range bombers, Secretary of Defense Louis A. Johnson announced the cancellation of United States on 23 April 1949, five days after the ship's keel was laid. Secretary of the Navy John Sullivan immediately resigned, and Congress held an inquiry into the manner and wisdom of Johnson's decision. In the subsequent "Revolt of the Admirals", the Navy was unable to advance its case that large carriers would be essential to national defense.

Soon afterward, Johnson and Francis P. Matthews, the man he advanced to be the new Secretary of the Navy, set about punishing those officers that let their opposition be known. Navy Admiral Louis Denfeld was forced to resign as Chief of Naval Operations, and a number of other admirals and lesser ranks were punished. The invasion of South Korea six months later resulted in an immediate need for a strong naval presence, and Matthews' position as Secretary of the Navy and Johnson's position as Secretary of Defense crumbled, both ultimately resigning.

The Navy soon found a means to carry nuclear weapons at sea, placed aboard the aircraft carrier  in 1950. Thus the question of which service would have primary responsibility for strategic nuclear strikes was not answered with Johnson's cancellation of USS United States.

See how climate change is endangering landmarks around the world

From fires in Australia and California to hurricanes in the Caribbean, the effects of climate change on our immediate environment are becoming ever more apparent. Less visible are the threats presented to landmark sites around the world – places like Edinburgh's cliff-side castle, the monuments of Rapa Nui (Easter Island), and the ancient adobe city of Chan Chan, in Peru – that are susceptible to destruction from increasing torrential rains, rising seas, ocean acidification, and more.
In an effort to draw attention to the plight of these endangered landmarks, Google Arts & Culture has debuted a new online collection called Heritage on the Edge, a partnership with CyArk, a non-profit working to create a 3D digital archive of endangered wonders of the world, and the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS), a global non-government organisation dedicated to conserving sites of architectural and archaeological significance.

With the help of local experts, CyArk went on data-collection expeditions to document each site, using photogrammetry, 3D scanning, drone video capture, and interviews to assess the locations and offer conservation support. So far, the team has completed fieldwork at five landmarks – Rapa Nui, Edinburgh, Chan Chan, Kilwa Kisiwani, on the Swahili Coast of Tanzania, and the Mosque City of Bagerhat, in Bangladesh – and created more than 50 online exhibits, six 360-degree street-view tours, 25 3D models, and two augmented-reality Pocket Gallery models, one of the Nine Dome Mosque in Bangladesh and the other of Gereza Fort in Tanzania.

"Above all, the project is a call to action," ICOMOS president Dr Toshiyuki Kono writes in a blog post introducing the collection. "The effects of climate change on our cultural heritage mirror wider impacts on our planet, and require a strong and meaningful response. While actions at individual sites can prevent loss locally, the only sustainable solution is systemic change and the global reduction of greenhouse gas emissions."

"Heritage on the Edge collects stories of loss, but also of hope and resilience," Kono writes. "They remind us that all our cultural heritage, including these iconic World Heritage Sites, are more than just tourist destinations. They are places of great national, spiritual and cultural significance."

GROUP ONE TO HUSSON
Jock Davidson2017-03-30T19:57:58+10:00March 30th, 2015|
Lucky Hussler has landed the first Group 1 for Husson (Arg) with a power-packed victory in the William Reid Stakes (1200m) at Moonee Valley.
The Darren Weir trained sprinter is a first-crop son of Vinery stallion Husson who was Australia's Champion freshman sire by winners in 2011-12. "Our track riders have been giving me glowing reports since he returned from a spell," Weir said on Friday evening. "He's better than ever this time in."
Lucky Hussler (5g Husson – Talaq Dancer by Black Hawk) stormed home from midfield to win going away from class mare Vain Queen. "He's a pretty good horse and I was pretty confident," jockey Glen Boss admitted. "The owners wanted to wait for the T J Smith at Randwick next month but I told them there was $240,000 just waiting for us here tonight."
The William Reid prizemoney elevated the gelding's record to 6 wins from 26 starts and over $886,000 in earnings. He was a $100,000 buy for managing part-owner Glen Makauskas at the 2011 Gold Coast Magic Millions and is from a half-sister to Australian Horse of the Year Weekend Hussler.
Husson was an undefeated Champion 2YO in Chile before his arrival here in 2008. He and Weekend Hussler are both sons of champion sire Hussonet.
Standing well over 16 hands, Lucky Hussler graduated to his first black-type victory in the 2012 Vo Rogue Plate at Doomben and he returned to the same circuit for second Group 3 in the 2013 George Moore Stakes.
Connections transferred him to Weir last year and he added another Group 3 in the Moonga Stakes on Caulfield Cup day. His spring campaign finished with a close second to Hucklebuck in the G1 Emirates Stakes at Flemington.
Husson has three colts and filly catalogued for the Inglis Easter yearling sale starting on April 7. The first to parade is Lot 214, a colt from Sun Classique, a Group 1 winner in South Africa and Dubai.
Another of his regally bred youngsters is Lot 303, a colt from Bel Mer who carried Vinery's colours to a Group 1 victory in the Robert Sangster Stakes at Morphettville.

DC's 'Shazam!' Casts 'Guardians of the Galaxy' Actor Djimon Hounsou as The Wizard
Nick Poulimenakos	on July 10, 2018
DC's Shazam! movie has found its 3,000-year-old Wizard… again
Djimon Hounsou has been quietly cast to play the sorcerer who gives young Billy Batson his powers in DC's Shazam! film coming next year.
Hounsou is no stranger to the comic book movie realm as he also played the Kree mercenary Korath the Pursuer in Guardians of the Galaxy as well as the upcoming Captain Marvel — so he's pulling off the rare feat of having significant roles in both the Marvel and DC universe at the same time. Laurence Fishburne was the latest to switch, having played Perry White in the DCEU and Bill Foster in the MCU.
Previously, This Is Us actor Ron Cephas Jones was widely reported as likely getting the Shazam! role, but apparently, this did no come to fruition due to a scheduling conflict.
Filming on Shazam! has actually wrapped, but this bit of casting remained under the radar until now.
Hounsou rose to fame in major roles in films like Amistad, Gladiator, as well as breakout performance in Blood Diamond and was previously in another DC title — playing Papa Midnite in 2005's Constantine.
Shazam! follows a 14-year-old (Angel Asher) who gains the power to turn into a grown-up superhero (Zachary Levi) by saying a magic word. In the comics, Honsou's character is a 3,000 years old sorcerer from Ancient Egypt who uses his powers to fight evil and has been seeking a successor to carry on his mission. He passes his power to Billy who only needs to shout his name — SHAZAM — to instantly become a superhero with an array of powers.
The film hits theaters April 5, 2019

'Cards Against Humanity' Just Bought Land On The US-Mexico Border
By Casey Mendoza
The "Cards Against Humanity Saves America" holiday promotion includes new cards, a map of the purchased land and other "America-saving surprises."
Cards Against Humanity is back with a new holiday promotion — and this time, it's hoping to "save America" and stifle President Donald Trump's border wall.
How exactly does the company plan to do this? By buying a plot of land on the U.S.-Mexico border and retaining a law firm specialized in eminent domain.
Customers can chip in for $15, which buys new cards for the game, a map of the purchased land, a certificate of the company's promise to fight the wall and more "America-saving surprises." As of Tuesday afternoon — hours after the project was announced — more than half of the slots for the project were sold.
Cards Against Humanity has been consistent about opposing President Trump. During the 2016 campaign, the company came out with a "Donald Trump Bug-Out Bag" survival kit, taking aim at the then-candidate. It reportedly sold out within an hour.

Though this newest project isn't really holiday-themed, it does follow the company's formula for tongue-in-cheek December gifts. Past holiday promotions include the "Ten Days or Whatever of Kwanzaa" and the "Eight Sensible Gifts For Hanukkah."

N. Korean leader visits cosmetics factory in border area with China
SEOUL, July 1 (Yonhap) -- North Korean leader Kim Jon-un continued his symbolic move to emphasize the importance of the country's economic ties with China by visiting a cosmetics factory in a border town near its biggest trading partner, the North Korea's state media said Sunday.
The Korean Central News Agency reported that Kim visited the factory in Sinuiju, which neighbors China's Dandong, accompanied by his wife, Lee Sol-ju, and other high-ranking officials.
Sinuiju was designated as a special economic zone by his father, Kim Jong-il, back in 2002.
On Saturday, Kim visited another border county, Sindo in North Pyongan Province, which belongs to the Hwanggumpyong Exclusive Industrial Zone co-developed with China.
Among his entourage was Kim Song-nam, the first vice director of the ruling Workers' Party of Korea's international department and a known expert on China. The fact that he accompanied the leader on the two visits hints that the trips are likely aimed at promoting economic ties with China.
The factory, founded in 1949, is the North's first large-scale production base for cosmetics products and is believed to produce the brand "Spring Scent."
The media quoted Kim as saying, "We shouldn't settle for the past success but aim higher and continue developing."
He also emphasized the modernization of the facilities and ordered the building of a shop in Pyongyang to sell the brand's cosmetics directly to consumers, according to the report.

Here's what the corporation's results may reveal later today.
The tech industry is going through a period of change right now thanks to new accounting rules. The Financial Times reports that an update to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for US companies will mean corporations will have to change the way they report revenues and costs.
Microsoft has said that the impact on its revenues will be seen in the sales of its Windows 10 licenses. These are currently treated as a rateable licence fee spread over a few years, whereas under the changes, they will be all recognised upfront. This means Microsoft could be reporting higher sales this quarter.
Whilst its sales may be up, the company has been undergoing a massive reorganisation and confirmed earlier this month that it was laying off thousands of staff. It is anticipated that around three-quarters of the cuts will occur outside the US.
Like Amazon with its Amazon Web Services, Microsoft is increasingly seeing revenue growth in its cloud service, Azure. Earlier this year, its so-called intelligent cloud revenue was $6.76bn compared to the $6.60bn expected, according to CNBC. This is expected to grow to around $7.2bn – $7.4bn.
In fact, one of the reasons for the layoffs is so the remaining sales team can redirect focus to Azure. This is the aspect of the business that is helping Microsoft stay relevant and ready to compete with the likes of Google and Amazon.
Microsoft will always be known for the PC but it is this part of the business which doesn't deliver the way it used to. Last quarter, its Personal Computing segment saw revenues fall seven percent to $8.84m, with its Surface range taking the biggest hit as revenues fell 26 percent.
It announced two new Surface laptops earlier this year, which could go some way to helping this aspect of the business to recover.

Important Cases
The final provision of Article I, Section 8 is known as the Necessary and Proper Clause. It gives Congress the ability "[T]o make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof." In other words, Congress is also given the authority to act to further any of its express powers, even if the particular action isn't expressly delineated. Thus, this clause theoretically authorizes implied powers, provided that the actions Congress takes can be generally grounded in some other constitutional provision.While this clause is written into the text of the Constitution, it was expounded on by the Supreme Court in McCulloch v. Maryland (1819), which is still today considered to be of extreme importance in understanding the meaning of the Necessary and Proper Clause.In McCulloch, the Court dealt with the federal government's establishment of a national bank. The state of Maryland sued the government, alleging that, because the Constitution did not expressly grant Congress the authority to set up a bank, it did not have such an ability. Therefore, argued Maryland, the bank was unconstitutional. The Court, however, disagreed. It looked to the Necessary and Proper Clause to assert that Congress' authority is not limited to the express provisions. There was some flexibility in the text, argued Chief Justice Marshall, writing for the Court. It is here that the Chief Justice wrote the words that are still regularly cited in court cases and academic treatises alike: "In considering this question, then, we must never forget, that it is a constitution we are expounding."
More technically, the Court held that, although the Necessary and Proper Clause could be read narrowly (only authorizing whatever is absolutely necessary to uphold the other provisions of the Constitution), the Court interpreted the clause broadly: provided Congress' goal could legitimately be said to relate to some express provision, the Necessary and Proper Clause permitted action to achieve that goal. The Court considered the establishment of a bank as legitimately relating to Congress' express authority to tax and regulate commerce.

Health March 18, 2019
Aromatherapy, from its name, is the use of aroma to induce healing or therapy to patients. The special oils used in the procedure could be from plant extracts. Some of the commonly used essential oil extracts include tea tree oil, peppermint, and flowers. This therapy is popular worldwide for its ability to heal some vital mind and body complications. It's sometimes referred to as the therapy of the soul, mind, and body. Many patients suffering from anxiety-related complications such as panic attacks and public speaking phobia have all benefited from this therapy.
Aromatherapy traces its roots in ancient Egypt where the royal families would use essential oil extract for massages and body-healing. Essential oils were also commonly used by the Roman doctors to heal soldiers after a war. With the advent of civilization, aromatherapy grew more popular, and people designed various methods in which aromatherapy could be administered. For instance, through massage oils, the creation of aroma-infused candles, and even inhalers, became possible. Aromatherapy practitioners also began to experiment on the application of this therapy to other bodily ailments which worked immensely. For this reason, aromatherapy has come to be known for its tremendous health benefits. Some of the best-known health rewards include good blood circulation, soothing metabolic complications, inducing sleep, preventing common headaches, alleviating depression, and as mentioned earlier, easing anxiety complications.
This skill has also developed into a career. In most countries, one needs certain specific qualifications to offer aromatherapy services. It's seen as a medical service, hence, requires extensively trained people who can handle various complications. This has seen many educational institutions offering aromatherapy courses to impart more ideas to people looking to venture into the profession. Learning about aromatherapy will enable you, as a practitioner, to discover new techniques and how to apply them to the benefit of your patients. It will impart on you the basic skills on the extraction of essential oils and how to apply the oils for therapeutic enhancement.
The best part about equipping yourself with aromatherapy skills is that learners can choose to study at home. You'll only need a working computer and Internet connection. Students are also taught by experts who have been in the field long enough to understand the best way of applying aromatherapy. This means once you're through with the course, you'll be able to offer excellent services to your patients.
As a practitioner, one could also offer public awareness campaigns on the benefits of aromatherapy.
Many people believe that over-the-counter medicines are better at solving their health complications faster. With aromatherapy, however, it's the therapeutic power of nature that boosts your healing. This is why it has become popular. Compared to laboratory-generated medicines, aromatherapy has positive side effects and generally leaves your body feeling energetic and cleansed.
A career in aromatherapy could prove beneficial since it will enable you to help the society in unimaginable ways. Many people are now embracing aromatherapy, and it could be a lucrative business with proper awareness for people looking to earn a living. Go ahead and get your Aromatherapy Certification.

Advanced for Ford & Holden - we recycle Ford & Holden vehicle parts.
Purchasing and fitting a second hand vehicle part instead of buying a new vehicle part is less expensive and saves resources. These parts have a long working life so recycling vehicle parts makes perfect sense. The parts are often described as used or second-hand. They offer a practical, inexpensive, low-cost alternative for motor traders, insurers, repairers and the general community.
Because the secondhand vehicle part in many cases is checked, tested and rebuilt the quality of a recycled second hand vehicle part means that it is safe and fit to be used in vehicle repairs.
You should expect a quality recycled second hand vehicle part to come with a warranty. Often the warranty that we offer can be longer than when the part was new. The warranties offered can be up to 60 months depending on the part. In the event a part is not fit for purpose, you can expect it to be exchanged for another part. In the event of the part not being able to be exchanged, you will be refunded (subject to any agreed terms and conditions).
Our secondhand vehicle parts sales team has a vast knowledge of Ford and Holden vehicle parts and provide professional, knowledgeable customer service. Our computerised vehicle parts imaging and cataloguing systems ensure they can give you prompt service to identify the right part, the availability of that part and the price.
In many cases we provide second hand vehicle parts for sale on the basis that we can get your old part back. We call this "sale on exchange". This enables us to recycle the old exchange part either as scrap or through rebuilding completely or using it to rebuild other parts. This continues the recycling of the resource rather than importing more new vehicle parts.
The re-use of quality second hand vehicle parts helps create competition in the New Zealand parts market and prevents the creation of motor manufacturer/new after market parts monopolies that can lead to higher parts prices and repair costs.
8. Resource and Energy Savings.
The re-use of quality second hand vehicle part reduces the need for new vehicle parts to be manufactured. This in turn reduces our demands on the world's finite natural resources, ultimately protecting our environment for future generations.
Responsible re-use of quality second hand vehicle parts simply makes common sense. We have systematic recording of vehicles purchased in compliance with police regulations that assist in the identification of any stolen vehicles. This industry also creates legitimate employment opportunities for New Zealand workers and contributes to government taxes.
Automotive dismantling is a worldwide industry that processes millions of End-of-Life vehicles every year. As an industry we are helping to de-pollute contaminants and hazards such as the oils, fuels, batteries, gases and air bags. Advanced for Ford & Holden play an essential role in the New Zealand automotive industry by re-using second hand vehicle parts.

McKinnis Cache biface with edge-to-edge flake removal.
This early stage biface represents one of the 11 bifaces (see McKinnis cache) that were discovered during a land leveling operation in St. Louis County, Missouri. It's an early stage biface that illustrates "classic" Clovis flake removal scars. This biface is most impressive for its edge-to-edge or "outre passe" style of flaking. One side has a large edge-to-edge flake scar that removed 1 1/2 inches (3.8 cm) of the opposite edge. This is a lithic technology that was no longer traditionally used in post-Clovis cultures. The intended purpose for this early stage preform was probably to make a fluted point. This biface is made of Burlington chert and measures 4 5/16 inches (11 cm) long, 1 11/16 inches (4.3 cm) wide and 7/16 inch (1.1 cm) wide.
The McKinnis cache was discovered in 1996 on land that was being leveled for houses. The cache contained 11 bifaces and 12 core blades. The site is located on a hill top within 2 miles of the Missouri River in St. Louis County, Missouri. This cache was made with stone tool manufacturing technology that relates to the Clovis culture. The largest artifact in the cache is a basally thinned late stage Clovis point preform. A base of a Clovis point was also found near this cache.
This picture shows a close-up view of the over shot percussion flake scar on the biface pictured above. This is an excellent example of a Clovis technology break pattern that is often found on Clovis camp and manufacturing sites. Over shot flakes are referred to as either edge-to-edge or "outre passe" types of flake removals. This flintknapping technique represents an important diagnostic element of Clovis stone tool manufacturing technology. These unique and fairly rare types of flake removals help archaeologists identify Clovis sites. This biface is made of Burlington chert and it measures 4 5/16 inches (11 cm) long, 1 11/16 inches (4.3 cm) wide and 7/16 inch (1.1 cm) wide.


A Los Angeles teen is facing criminal charges after allegedly assaulting a Santa Barbara County sheriff's deputy during last weekend's "Deltopia," a spring break party that turned into a violent disturbance in Isla Vista.
The incident occurred around 9:30pm on Saturday night in Isla Vista, a half-square-mile neighborhood near UC Santa Barbara. An extensive spring break party was being held in the neighborhood, with an estimated 20,000 to 25,000 people attending the event, dubbed Deltopia. The raucous party escalated into a riot, according to officials at the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office. About 190 law enforcement officers worked to regain control and 130 people were arrested during the melee, which lasted several hours. Several deputies were injured.
On Tuesday, the 17-year-old teen was charged with mayhem, resisting an officer, assault on an officer, causing great bodily injury and committing a violent offense. Santa Barbara County prosecutors are charging him as an adult. His arraignment is set for Thursday.
Sheriff's officials said they were trying to break up a fight during the event, when a deputy subsequently attempted to arrest the teen. He then allegedly swung a backpack full of liquor bottles at the deputy, striking him in the head and causing a wound that required 20 stitches.
This may be the first of a number of criminal charges associated with the Deltopia incident. According to an LA Times article, authorities are reviewing surveillance camera footage in the hopes of identifying additional parties who may be held accountable for the events that unfolded that night.
Although this teen is still a minor, he is being charged as an adult. In California, a minor as young as 14 can be charged and tried as an adult in criminal court. This may happen in various circumstances, depending on the minor's prior criminal record (if any) and the nature and severity of the charges. The prosecutor may file directly in adult criminal court, or the prosecutor may file a "fitness" petition at juvenile court for a hearing to be held that will determine whether the minor should be tried as an adult. Some "aggravated" offenses automatically qualify for trial as an adult, if the minor has prior offenses.
When a juvenile is convicted in adult court, he or she will face the same penalties as an adult. For the Los Angeles teen discussed above, this means he may face years in state prison if convicted on all charges. Assault alone is a misdemeanor offense under California Penal Code § 240, but assaulting a law enforcement officer triggers an enhanced sentence of up to 1 year in county jail. Because the deputy suffered great bodily injury, the teen also faces penalties for that offense. If he is charged with battery on a peace officer causing serious bodily injury under California Penal Code § 243, he may face 2, 3 or 4 years in state prison.
The teen's charges may also count as " strikes" on his record if he is convicted. Under California's three strikes law, a second strike would result in double the normal sentence and a third strike could result in a lifetime in prison.
This situation serves as an example of how quickly things can get out of hand at a large party or gathering. This teen has been accused of grave offenses and may face years behind bars if convicted. If you ever find yourself arrested or under suspicion of any criminal offense, in relation to the Isla Vista riot or in another situation, assert your rights. Involve an attorney as quickly as possible and make sure you are not taken advantage of in your efforts to cooperate. If you are arrested, you have the right to refuse questioning and demand an attorney.
The early involvement of a Los Angeles criminal defense lawyer is essential for adults and teens charged with criminal offenses involving disorderly conduct, assault on a peace officer and more. To discuss your case and concerns, contact Lessem & Newstat today.

Can Jimmy Garoppolo Keep the New England Patriots Afloat?
By: Stephen Ur, Editor | July 7, 2016
Tom Brady has been suspended for the first four games of the 2016 NFL season due to his part in the 2014 AFC Championship game scandal known as Deflategate. Brady was accused of using footballs that were deflated by the smallest of margins in the Patriots 45-7 win over the Indianapolis Colts.
Last off-season, Brady had been suspended for the first four games of the 2015 season, but that was overturned and he played in all 16 games. Before then, however, it looked as if backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo was going to take snaps in the 2015 season. Now, it looks as if he will be doing that to kick off the 2016 NFL season.
The Patriots first four games are as follows:
at Arizona Cardinals
vs Miami Dolphins
vs Houston Texans
vs Buffalo Bills
Can Garoppolo get this team by without Brady or will they be in a hole after one month?
Garoppolo played in the 2015 preseason, as it stood that Brady would be suspended for the first four games. During his preseason play, he threw for 126 yards and a touchdown in a game against the Carolina Panthers. Against the New Orleans Saints, he threw for 269 yards and a touchdown and led the Patriots on five scoring drives in a win at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. Yes, those are preseason stats, but if Garoppolo could do that in the regular season, he would be well on his way.
How Will He Fare Against the Patriots First Four Opponents?
at Arizona Cardinals: The Cardinals acquired Chandler Jones from the Patriots in a trade for guard Jonathan Cooper. While Jones would love to sack Brady, his former quarterback, he will most likely be stuck with sacking Garoppolo. This doesn't seem like it will be a problem for the Cardinals, as they have proved to have one of the best defensive lines in the NFL.
Let's not forget that Tyrann Mathieu will be coming back healthy after tearing his ACL in Philadelphia last season. They also have their star cornerback in Patrick Peterson. Garoppolo will have his hands full on the first Sunday night in 2016. It doesn't look like it will be pretty for the Patriots.
vs Miami Dolphins: The Dolphins defense ranked near last in the NFL last season in total defense. With Olivier Vernon and Brent Grimes gone, this defense just looks weaker than it was. This seems like it will be an easy win for the Pats over their AFC East division rival.
vs Houston Texans: The Texans, like the Cardinals, have one of the most dangerous defensive lines in the NFL with J.J. Watt, former Patriots player Vince Wilfork, and 2014 #1 overall pick Jadeveon Clowney. The Patriots offensive line will need to protect Garappolo very well in order for him to make the big plays. That's not all the Patriots are dealing with, however. They also need Garoppolo to outduel either Brock Osweiler or Brandon Weeden in order to snag a victory at home.
vs Buffalo Bills: The Bills offense is more of a challenge than their defense. If the Pats offense can outdo the Bills offense, the Pats will pick up a victory against the Ryan brothers.
The Patriots will start 2-2 under Jimmy Garoppolo. There is no chance they win in Arizona and the Texans will sack Garoppolo mutliple times and force many turnovers. On the other hand, the Bills and Dolphins look like wins as neither defense looks like they will step up and be able to stop the Patriots high-powered offense, with or without Brady.

Greatest UFC Fight Week in UFC History?

There's a great write-up by Brian Crescimanno called Why Are You Still Deploying Overnight? which I really enjoyed. There's a lot of good logic there, but I think there's one missing element, and that's hardware (my favorite). If you're going to flip a switch and watch your new software take over from your old software, you're going to need adequate hardware (or hardware + virtual machines) to allow yourself to switch back. If you're not allowing yourself to switch back, you're betting on very fast problem resolution, presumably done by very clever engineers. This is a better plan at, say, 9:00 AM than 3:00 AM, but it's still more dependent on heroics than software/hardware quality assurance.

Is it the end of TV Commercials?
Media Studies - Advertising & Marketing IS IT THE END OF THE TV COMMERCIAL? Executives in the multi-million, global advertising industry are seriously worried! Our attention (remember we are the audience) is being eroded by technology - video and DVD recorders, mobile phones, PC's, iPods, pod casts, and pay-TV channels, mean that we just don't sit still and absorb their finely tuned, massive budget commercials any more. People no longer stay in to see their favourite programmes - we record them, then we spin through the commercials so they don't interfere with our enjoyment of the programmes. If the advertisers' 'machine -gun' us with their messages by using TV, who exactly are they 'hitting' with this broadcast technique? ...read more.
Narrow casting is much more precise. The media that enable an advertiser to target or 'snipe' their consumer are * Internet * Direct mail * Ambient advertising * Viral advertising * Guerrilla advertising Each is aimed at a single person. Of course knowing your target audience is vital before you can begin to target them "TV has always been a bit 'hit and hope'." Says Mark Parker, creative director. "There was a marvellous ad some years ago which showed a couple engaged in something other that commercial watching and the headline was something like; 'RESEARCH WILL TELL YOU THAT THEY ARE WATCHING YOUR COMMERCIAL'. ...read more.
Children and their kids TV? Well perhaps not. ITV (UK) has already tried to unload all its kids TV as it recognises it has very little brand interest in kids. OFCOM reined them back but we know, don't we, that they will be buying their programming in from overseas and that their in-house teams are already on their last legs. Where will the advertiser go instead? Have a look at 'Subservient Chicken'. Burger King's 'old hat' site which works virally. No longer does the advertiser have to go looking for the audience - the audience goes looking for it - it works via word of mouth - virally! TV advertising may not yet be dead but it is in a critical condition. ...read more.

National Insurance Income Threshold Increased
Posted on March 24, 2022 Workers Union
The Chancellor of the Exchequer yesterday raised the National Insurance income threshold to £12,570.
Rishi Sunak announced that the rise will save working people £330 a year. However, the plan to increase national insurance contributions (also known as the Health and Social Care levy) will still go ahead in April.
The changes mean that there will be an increase in the allowance people can earn before they have to start paying the levy. Mr Sunak said that the decision would lead to 30 million people paying less tax.
In other key measures, the chancellor committed to cutting the basic rate of income tax by 1 pence from 20p to 19p in the pound. The cut will be enacted before the end of this parliament. And in a further sign that the government is conscious of the needs of businesses and workers, Mr Sunak has also cut fuel duty by 5p a litre. The policy is set to last for 12 months and represents the biggest slash in fuel duty ever.
Now that the government have announced measures to try to alleviate the strain on working people, the next step should see UK plc do what it can to deliver its own frameworks of support.
There is little doubt that companies can and must offer a more enlightened version of people management than the current retro-creep that many workers are experiencing. Some firms, shorn of the moral obligation to provide lockdown-era flexibility, have granted limited forms of hybrid working as a 'next best' approach to working patterns. In reality, this is nothing more than a covert way of returning working people to the top down, master and servant relationship that characterised employee relations before the virus.
It will not profit workers, managers or employers – and managers that fail to heed this message will soon find themselves hunting around for crumbs left behind by more empathic enterprises. For the winners in the new world, where employers compete for talent in a fast moving, digital economy, will be companies that recognise comprehensive packages of benefits as an essential way of promoting worker wellbeing.
Sadly, although it shouldn't take much of a perspective-twist, many companies still look for legislators to take a lead before committing themselves to progressive policies. And yet the history of thriving economies (and worker benefits pioneered by tech disruptors) shows us that the private sector has a huge role to play in leading on the training, development and financial/emotional wellbeing of its staff.
The trick is to view this as a circle of positive feedback made virtuous by investment on both sides. Company chiefs provide incentives for car sharing schemes, sites with adequate parking, fuel subsidies and a reduced requirement to attend the office. Mental health and financial planning become key parts of the benefits package, along with gym membership and help with childcare. In turn, workers feel valued and better equipped to do their jobs.
The truth is that the cost of living issue may be the elephant in all our rooms, but it is not just up to the state to provide solutions. COVID has changed the game completely, and companies in the digital age must respond or suffer the consequences.

Me and a couple of friends during the fall of 2011 went to Dalton cemetery a few times. Only living in Orrville it was easy to drive over too. Well anyways on our first visit we didn't hear anything or catch anything on camera but when we were leaving we decided to drive through the cemetery before we went home as we were driving through we saw a white mist form right above our car then disappeared in front of us.
of a big tree behind us just started shaking there was not any wind and no animal big enough to shake it.
Then it just stopped when we ran out of the cemetery.
Comment by Billie: That's so crazy because me and my friend went there at night and didn't ask for anything. We were just sitting there talking then we heard something, so we stopped and looked at each other and we heard something say ''get out'', so we sat there for a minute and ran.
