This week's announcement that a preview of the new Office 2016 for Mac is now officially available was a little surprise to me. I knew it was coming, but didn't expect it to be available already. Ok, it is "just" a preview and may be you shouldn't use it for your business, but on the other hand why not give it a try. Recent previews of Microsoft solutions are rather stable. So, I tried, but the installation included some unpleasant surprises.
Office 2011 for Mac used to be a lot better than the version for the Windows users several years ago. The launch of Office 2013 meant a huge upgrade for the Windows user. One of the biggest advantages of Office 2013 is the integration with among others SharePoint and OneDrive. Working with SharePoint has been a rather painful job on a Mac. Office 2016 will improve everything for the Mac users and therefore many of them seemed to request for the free download since Microsoft announced its availability on their blog.
Microsoft's servers were rather slow or not responding. They were clearly not prepared for such a high demand.
In case you did not yet upgrade your OS X to Yosemite, this will be the first thing to do. I kept postponing this, because I was too afraid it would influence my Windows 8 Bootcamp setup.
After securing my most essential files I decided just to do it.
The upgrade went smooth. In case you need support in upgrading you will find the instructions here.
Once I had the Office 2016 installation file available the process went rather smooth at first. Only the Outlook setup took long. I decided not to import my Outlook 2011 settings, because I hardly used it anymore. I decided to connect Outlook to my companies Office 365 account.
And then it crashed ….. Rebooting, reinstalling, etc. just didn't help. It didn't want to run anymore.
May be connecting to my Office 365 account was not to be the best idea. Outlook kept requesting for activation. Online I didn't manage to find a satisfactory solution.
I decided to uninstall again, but this time Outlook only. By the end of last year Outlook for Mac already has been released and you can download it from Office 365 and that's what I did. I don't know whether this is a different version, but it didn't ask for activation.
Just to be sure I performed the above described preferences cleaning process as well.
My mail and calendar data started synchronizing!
Full of regained enthusiasm, the whole process started with downloading efforts a day earlier, I prepared the first messages. Quite important ones.
Murphy stayed with me. Mails were not leaving my outbox. At first I even thought they were gone, but fortunately the backup plan worked. Yes, I agree I should have send a text message first. The green dots next to the accounts on the account settings page had convinced me everything worked fine.
Trying several online mentioned solutions didn't help me much. The mail remained in the outbox. Most probably I was facing an identity issue.
I decided to create my account once again, without deleting the initial one. I was concerned that removing my account might remove the draft messages as well. This meant I duplicated my account.
And magically this account immediately sent the first test message. Curiously I opened one of my still pending e-mails and assigned the new mailbox as the sender address. Yes, all sent. Then I just removed the initially installed account.
After all these installation issues I could have given up, but I still wanted to experience the new office.
When you are used to Office 2013 you will find some similarities, but it feels very different as well due to the fact it has been adjusted to OSX and especially Yosemite. Personally I prefer the Office 2013 interface. The clear file menu of 2013 is really missing. For example to share a document you will have to find the sharing icon in the top right corner. In my case at first Word didn't manage to send a file as attachment. After a reboot it started working, but preparing the e-mail took long.
And that is a general issue I have been facing while testing. The Office applications respond slow.
May be this is due to synchronization of mailboxes and indexing, the future will tell.
The good news is that Office 2016 is a big step forward. Integration with external storage works like a charm and that can cause I will return from my Windows 8 Bootcamp to Yosemite with Office 2016!
Sustainability a key factor for success in business?

The Big Picture: Photographs from the Amon Carter Museum of American Art
Phillips is honored to partner with the Amon Carter Museum of American Art on the deaccession of a choice selection of photographs sold to benefit acquisition funds.
Ansel Adams, Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico, 1941. Photographs, New York.
Few photographers understood the grandeur of the American landscape like Ansel Adams, and no photograph conveys this as dramatically as his Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico. A rare large-format print of this seminal image is just one of an especially fine group of photographs being sold by the Amon Carter Museum in Phillips' 12 October Photographs auction. Deeply attuned to the impact of man upon the environment, Adams' image captures the presence of the built environment within the sweep of the landscape. Other highlights include André Kertész's noire-tinged evocation of a Paris street, a modernist nude study by Czech master František Drtikol, William Eggleston's southern-gothic Morton, Mississippi, and 15 other lots of classic and contemporary photography. The material is being sold to benefit the Amon Carter's acquisition funds.

The Fort Worth, Texas, museum was founded in 1961 to house Amon Carter Sr.'s collection of Western American paintings, sculptures, and drawings. Photography entered the collection that year when Dorothea Lange approached the museum about acquiring her portraits of Western painter Charles Russell. Director Mitchell A. Wilder readily made the acquisition, initiating an active engagement with photography and photographers that continues today. In its history, the museum has pursued ambitious exhibition and publication programs, including Marnie Sandweiss's groundbreaking Photography in Nineteenth Century America (1991) and John Rohrbach's definitive Color: American Photography Transformed (2013). It was the Amon Carter Museum that commissioned Richard Avedon to produce the series of portraits exhibited and published in 1985 as In the American West.
Driven by a succession of dynamic photography curators, the Amon Carter early-on established a robust photography acquisition program, collecting singular masterworks as well as entire archives. The collection now encompasses more than 45,000 exhibition-quality photographs ranging from one of the first photographs created in the United States to works made as recently as this year. It also includes eight artist archives – including those of Laura Gilpin, Carlotta Corpron, Eliot Porter, and Karl Struss – that allow scholars opportunities to delve deeply into the working methods of these seminal photographers. These archives bring the number of photographic objects to more than 250,000 works.
Kali Spitzer, Audrey Siegl, 2019, from the upcoming Amon Carter Museum exhibition Speaking with Light: Contemporary Indigenous Photography © Kali Spitzer.
The collection has particularly deep strengths in 19th century American photography, making the institution a resource for the study of American visual culture across much of that century. Its list of current and upcoming exhibitions demonstrates the Museum's commitment to Contemporary photographers and underrepresented groups:
Speaking with Light: Contemporary Indigenous Photography is one of the first museum surveys to explore how Indigenous artists have leveraged lens-based media to reclaim representation and affirm their existence, perspectives, and trauma.
Christina Fernandez: Multiple Exposures surveys the work of the Los Angeles-based artist whose rich practice explores migration, labor, gender, Mexican American identity, and the unique capacities of the photographic medium.
Morning Light: The Photographs of David H. Gibson shows how the American landscape provides a continuous source of inspiration for today's artists.

Q: CVE-2016-2107 Apache I have 2 production servers both with Ubuntu 14 and OpenSSL 1.0.1f 6 Jan 2014 and when I test both servers against ssllabs only one of them is vulnerable to CVE-2016-2107. The only difference I could find is, the not vulnerable server have the following Apache version :
Server version: Apache/2.4.7 (Ubuntu)
Server built:   Jul 15 2016 15:34:04

whereas the vulnerable one has the following:
Server version: Apache/2.4.7 (Ubuntu)
Server built:   Jan 14 2016 17:45:23

So my question is: how do I secure the server? Do I rebuild the Apache?

A: The server running Apache built in January 2016 isn't up-to-date; you need to apply the available security fixes:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

This will upgrade the apache2 package to version 2.4.7-1ubuntu4.13 (July 2016), and probably lots of other packages with security fixes.

During my overnight stay at the hotel Seagull, a comfortable resting point on the pacific coast—it was a bit touristy but alright, I attempted to sleep. But by an unfortunate happenstance that night an idiotic buffoon had ideas contrary to mine, and seemed utterly intent upon keeping the entire hotel awake. It was when sitting down upon the side of my bed as I eagerly kicked off my shoes and imaged all the wonderful things I would do in the morn that there was suddenly a long drawn out cry that echoed through the halls.
I jumped up from the soft and inviting bed, an action I latter regretted, and ran to the door pulling the latches back hurriedly trying to answer this call for help. I had already pulled off my socks and so as I stumbled into the hallway I felt the overly fuzzy carpet that all hotels seem to have push up against my feet and through my toes, and the softness made me dream of that soft bed I had just left in hopes of nobly assisting my fellow man in need. But the naked man standing in the hall soon clarified the truly disturbing events that were to occur.
The hotel security had been laid down, speckling the hallway in a way akin to what one would expect to see in some b-class action movie after a fight scene starring Chuck Norris or Mr. T. The young and beautiful brunet who had handed me my floppy plastic key across the desk when I had checked in earlier was now draped across the nudist's shoulder by her midsection, her legs kicking wildly in front of her captor.
Upon seeing me the mad man smiled, stretching his lips back far opened his mouth in a grandiose show of friendliness and warmth. He dropped the girl who ran away as best she could with her broken shoe heal and tight skirt.
"Odysseus!" He cried. Then the horribly buff and naked man rushed forward like a great stag bounding over the unconscious men as he spread his arms wide and embraced me. "A familiar face at last!" He said as he pulled me into the most uncomfortable hug in the history of all hugs.
Unable to free myself I gazed over the man's shoulder and counted the security men lying along the length of the hallway, three, six, eight. Eight men were powerless against this hugging fiend. It was upon reviewing this fact I decided the most self-preserving action would be to play along. So I hugged him back, the most disgusting action I had ever participated in. I listened to the soft opening and closing of doors as people poked their heads out and quickly retreated to the supposed safety of their rooms.
Good Lord, there's more of them! I thought.
"I, I have no idea." I said as I kept my eyes firmly fixed above his shoulders.
"Well they told us that we would find for ourselves personal bathing areas within our rooms. So we each decided to forgo bathing for now, don our cloths, and enjoy this little beach. They are a strange people that live here. One kind is totally bent upon selling strange wares—such as these things called hoodies, and tee-shirts—that all say 'sea-side' upon them. The other kind is totally bent upon buying these items. Unfortunately, no one accepts our gold coinage here, and instead use strange pieces of green paper for currency, so I could not acquire any of these odd pieces of apparel.
"The bathtub?" I said in disbelief.
"The bathtub." He said again with a great snarl. "It is not a bathtub, that thing they wish us to wash in could not fit a small boy!" He yelled at the top of his lungs. "Now, I and my men returned to the giant bathhouse, and there we washed. But no sooner had we cast down our towels from about our waists when all the occupants started to scream and run out. Well we started to bath again, and jump off those boards when these men returned.
"So you're going to leave now?" I asked hopefully.
"Hands up!" One of the ten policemen flooding in from the end of the hall yelled.
Achilles turned from me, "If you will excuse me, Odysseus, I must see to these men." He then leapt from the ground and soared through the air until finally landing in the fray of policemen.
I turned and looked at my door number, 14-b. Stepping forward I slide my floppy plastic card through the lock as I felt the weight of my day crushing me. A screaming police man flew over my head. "Beeeb-ba-beeb." The lock sounded with a flash of red. I slid the card again, "Beeeb-ba-beeb." With great reluctance I slid down onto the floor and ran the squishy white carpet through my fingers. Yawning I laid down my head and tried to sleep over the din of the brawling nudist.

Information on Jama Masjid of Delhi
The Jama Masjid of Delhi, one of the largest and historic monument of delhi that attracts tourist throughout the year. The jama Mosque of delhi is most famous tourist spots of delhi is located in old delhi near to Historic Red Fort of Delhi.
Jama Masjid of Delhi
The Jama Masjid is a massive mosque that is located in Delhi. This is noted for being the most important mosque in the area. It is even seen as the most beautiful mosque in not only Delhi but also in all of India.
The Jama Masjid, which translates to the "Friday mosque," was built over the course of six years. Construction started in 1650 and continued up until 1656. The construction was authorised by Muhammad Shah Jahan I or Shahjahan the Magnificent as he is often referred to. Shahjahan was a Mughal emperor.
The building was placed right next to the Red Fort. It is located near where the Chawri Bazar Road of today's Delhi is located.
A notable point about the mosque is that it was built to support a massive number of people. The approximate capacity of the Jama Masjid is around twenty thousand people. These people can fit into the courtyard. The courtyard is a square that is about one hundred meters on each side.
The mosque itself is also very large. It is 65 m in width and 35 m in length. It consists of four large towers around its perimeter. There are also two minarets and three domes in the building. The minarets that are found at the sides are both about forty meters in height and feature a series of steps that are alternately adorned with white marble and red sandstone.
The mosque has white marble domes with an outside construction that consists of both white marble and red sandstone. A series of black stripes can be found around the insides of the domes as well.
There are three different gateways used around the mosque. These gateways have different entrance standards. The gateways on the north and south ends of the mosque were open to people for worship.
The eastern gateway is only open on Fridays. The emperor of the land had used this gateway for his own use when the mosque was first built. The main entrances are also protected with a series of massive iron doors. Also, the eastern area features hundreds of steps and plenty of large spaces that were originally used to hold food stores when the mosque was first built. The steps in this area are exceptionally wide and conducive to many worshippers who come to the mosque.
The main prayer hall inside the mosque?s western area features eleven arches. The middle arch is the tallest one. Each arch has a series of inscriptions on it. These inscriptions are used as tributes to Shahjahan and the virtues that he led in his life. It is also used as the main entrance point to the prayer hall. The three domes in the mosque are located around the prayer hall.
The arches around the prayer hall are supported by a number of pillars. There are more than 250 pillars around them.
An important point about the main prayer hall is that it is open only on a few select days. It is not open on Fridays. It is also closed during a number of important holy days in the Islamic calendar.
The Jama Masjid has become a very popular attraction for people in Delhi. However, anyone who does go to the area as a tourist will be subjected to some substantial security checks. This is due to the terrorist attack on the mosque that occurred in 2006.
The Jama Masjid is a truly notable mosque to visit when in Delhi. This mosque is known for more than just its large size. It is also noted for its beautiful design and its many different spaces.


The 10th annual Colorado Deaf Dog Play Day for hearing-impaired pooches is 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sunday in Wheat Ridge.
The Play Day is at Best Friends Pet Care, 11440 West 44th Ave.
Admission is $5 per dog, and humans are admitted free.
Besides fun for the animals, the event provides support and education for people who own or are considering owning a deaf dog, said organizer Rhonda Champion. Deaf dogs sometimes are abused because they're thought to be disobedient; they can be difficult to place in adopted homes because of misconceptions, she said.
In addition to games and other activities for pets, Colorado Deaf Dog founders and other animal handlers will teach owners and prospective owners how to train hearing-impaired dogs.
The Play Day also will include a demonstration by Eric Melvin and his deaf cattle dog, Angelyne. Dog owners should bring chairs, a blanket or mat for their dogs, bags to clean up after their pets, as well as treats and toys to help occupy their pet when they're not engaged in activities.

SQL Server Analysis Services Reporting with Power View
Tabular data models are better suited for reporting with Power View, though different reporting tools can use it as a data source. In this chapter we will learn how to browse Tabular Data in Power View and develop Power View reports.
The steps to create a Power View report are similar to Excel. Power View is available as an add-in for Excel and we will be using this to create a Power View report using the Tabular Data Model as the data source.
Open Microsoft Excel and select the "Data" tab from the menu ribbon. Click on "From Other Sources" and select "From Analysis Services" option. In the next step specify the SSAS server name and logon credentials. Make sure to specify the tabular instance as your SSAS server as shown below.
If you were able to successfully connect to the specified SSAS instance with the logon credentials specified, in the next step you should be able to select the SSAS "AdventureWorks" database and find the Cube and Perspectives in the data model. Select the data model and proceed to the next step.
In the next step, specify the name of the connection file to save. This file will be saved as an .ODC file and you can reuse this connection file when you want to use the same connection in other workbooks. After saving the file, you will be prompted with the option to select the kind of report you want to create. We will go with the option of "Power View Report" as shown below. This would open up the Power View design interface and the data elements from the tabular cube should be available as the data source for developing reports.
Select the values as shown in the below screenshot and the Power View report that uses the tabular data model as the data source.
We started this tutorial by taking a quick glance on the evolution of SSAS over different versions. We took our first step towards learning SSAS by understanding few basic definitions, terms and concepts to build a foundation on SSAS basics. To explore the sample SSAS data models, we installed SSAS 2016 in Tabular and Multidimensional mode, and installed sample databases for both the data models.
SSAS can be broadly classified into two types from a data model development perspective - Multidimensional and Tabular. We understood fundamentals, walked through the data model development and deployment approach with an emphasis on key tools and technology aspects, and finally queried the data model using MDX and DAX for Multidimensional and Tabular data models respectively. Finally we browsed the data models using Microsoft Excel as well as Power View to understand how to create quick reports and browse the data model using these tools.
SSAS has evolved drastically since its inception in 2005. I hope this SSAS 2016 tutorial brings a fresh and modern outlook of the latest SSAS version and provides a launch pad to SSAS enthusiasts.

Q: I cannot navigate deeper into the views in Swiftui I have three views in my project - ContentView, SecondView, ThirdView

I want to navigate from contentView to secondView and secondView to thirdView.
ContentView :-
import SwiftUI

struct ContentView: View {
    @State private var path = NavigationPath()

    var body: some View {
        NavigationStack(path: $path) {
            Button {
                path.append("SecondView")
            } label: {
                Text("This is the first view")

            }
            .navigationDestination(for: String.self) { view2 in
                if view2 == "SecondView" {
                 SecondView()
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

struct ContentView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
    static var previews: some View {
        ContentView()
    }
}

SecondView :-
import SwiftUI

struct SecondView: View {
    @State private var path = NavigationPath()
    var body: some View {
        NavigationStack(path: $path) {
            Button {
                path.append("ThirdView")
            } label: {
                Text("This is the second view")

            }
            .navigationDestination(for: String.self) { view2 in
                if view2 == "ThirdView" {
                 ThirdView()
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

struct SecondView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
    static var previews: some View {
        NavigationStack {
            SecondView()
        }
    }
}

ThirdView :-

import SwiftUI

struct ThirdView: View {
    var body: some View {
        Text("This is the third view")
    }
}

struct ThirdView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
    static var previews: some View {
        NavigationStack {
            ThirdView()
        }
    }
}

What is happening :-
Whenever I tap on the "This is the first view" button in my ContentView, I am navigated to SecondView and automatically navigated back to contentView.
What I want :-
I want to navigate from contentView to secondView and secondView to thirdView.

A: You shouldn't have multiple NavigationStacks in the hierarchy. You should have one and pass the path via a Binding.
struct ContentView: View {
    @State private var path = NavigationPath()

    var body: some View {
        NavigationStack(path: $path) {
            Button {
                path.append("SecondView")
            } label: {
                Text("This is the first view")

            }
            .navigationDestination(for: String.self) { view in
                switch view {
                case "SecondView":
                    SecondView(path: $path)
                case "ThirdView":
                    ThirdView()
                default:
                    Text("Unknown")
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

struct SecondView: View {
    @Binding var path: NavigationPath
    var body: some View {
        Button {
            path.append("ThirdView")
        } label: {
            Text("This is the second view")

        }
    }
}

struct ThirdView: View {
    var body: some View {
        Text("This is the third view")
    }
}

struct SecondView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
    static var previews: some View {
        NavigationStack {
            SecondView(path: .constant(NavigationPath()))
        }
    }
}

It's Not Easy Being a Woman Professor: Subverting Sexism in Higher Education
By Camden Morgante | September 04, 2019
"So, are you a student here too?" asked the young IT worker I called to fix my office computer. I smiled, wondering how the student missed my name on the office door, or the row of diplomas framed on the wall. "No, I'm a professor here." Sexism against women in college undoubtedly happens, but sexism against female college faculty is perhaps more often overlooked. As a thirtysomething woman professor at a Christian university, I have a unique perspective on sexism in higher education.
Women at Work: 3 Things I Wish I Knew When I Graduated College
By Eeva Sallinen Simard | September 04, 2019
I so wish I could have told those bright young women about the challenges they will face as they enter their careers and endeavor to find satisfaction in their work and lives. I did not want to be that person, warning optimistic young women about future obstacles—and that the odds of success are ever stacked against them. I fear, though, that if we don't have open conversations about workplace and cultural challenges, if we don't call out hurdles by name, we set women up for failure when they enter the workplace.
4 Jobs Women Are Expected to Do without Pay, and How to Balance the Labor Scale
By Rachel Asproth | March 03, 2019
The epidemic of women's unpaid work is a serious problem and it's one that should concern us as Christians. Whether by implication, necessity, or demand, women aren't being credited or compensated for their work. They are often taken less seriously as professionals and expected to take sole responsibility for housework and other traditionally feminine kinds of work. Not all labor—such as household work—is the kind of work for which we give and receive a paycheck. But it remains that for much of history, patriarchy has ensured that all of women's work—official and unofficial and paid and unpaid—is seen as less than, and that women's labor can be taken for granted.

Women rely on the family home to support them in old age

Less diverse investments mean women often have less in retirement. Dave Hunt/AAP
Thanks in part to the gender pay gap, the gender wealth gap more than doubled between 2002 and 2014. But our research shows Australian women don't just trail men in total wealth, they also have less diverse asset portfolios.
Women are more likely than men to have their assets tied up in a family home. This means their finances are more precarious, and they have less saved for retirement.
The latest data from the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia Survey show the family home accounts for close to half of the total assets held by single women, and only 39% of the total assets held by single men. Other property, superannuation, business assets and financial investments, on average, play a much larger role in the asset portfolios of men than women.
Gender differences in the level and composition of wealth are especially important as society ages. Wealth has particular ramifications for the economic wellbeing of older people, given their limited access to other forms of income, such as wages.
This gender gap compounds over time, with many women facing a shortfall in savings by retirement age. And with the state shifting the responsibilities for retirement, aged care and health care onto individuals, the gender wealth gap will increasingly translate into a gap in the lifestyles that Australian men and women can achieve in old age.
All of this is evidence of a "care penalty", which means that taking paid leave or moving into part-time jobs to cater for the care needs of children or other family members has negative impacts on women's retirement savings and career trajectories. But it is also the result of policy, such as the recent tax concessions for superannuation, which have done more for the wealth of men than women.
Exacerbating this problem, women are dramatically over-represented in the oldest age groups. The over-65 age group has 14.5% more women than men, and the oldest population groups have three times as many women as men.
Furthermore, women are less likely than men to have access to the support of a spouse in their old age. Only 15.2% of women, compared to 54.5% of men, have a surviving spouse when they die. This means they are more likely to need external aged care services.
The home takes centre stage
In the absence of significant savings, superannuation or other assets, the family home has become the key form of wealth for many Australian women.
In fact, without the home, the age pension and superannuation balances are unlikely to meet the day-to-day living needs of many retirees.
The importance of the home has in part been driven by the family courts. Prior to 2000 superannuation was not treated as an asset for distribution in divorce proceedings. The family home also tends to be retained by the primary carers of the children after separation – women.
But as an asset to build wealth around, the family home has some drawbacks. Housing assets are, by nature, both hard and costly to buy and sell. While the family home can be a key form of savings for many Australians, relying on this form of wealth comes with relatively high costs.
Research also shows that older women are more prone to selling up their family home than older men, with these sales often triggered by the loss of a spouse or ill-health.
The centrality of the family home in their portfolios also means women are particularly vulnerable to the way housing is treated in the age pension asset test. Including the family home in this test would force many retirees to draw down their home equity to fund their retirement at earlier life stages.
This creates a range of risks, given the fundamental uncertainty of future price and interest rate movements, and because the risks associated with future house price movements cannot be defended against.
The gender impacts of policies are commonly overlooked but should never be neglected. This is especially true in an ageing society where the majority of older people are women and gender gaps in economic status are large.
Gender statements in federal and state budgets, as well as a fully resourced Office for Women with full ministerial backing, are needed to ensure the level of commitment and accountability to older women that they deserve.

Die Kirche hl. Martin ist die römisch-katholische Pfarrkirche der Gemeinde Sankt Martin am Wöllmißberg in der Weststeiermark. Ihre Geschichte führt bis in die zweite Hälfte des 14. Jahrhunderts zurück.

Geschichte
Die Kirche wurde 1372 erstmals urkundlich genannt und war bis 1786 eine Filiale von Pfarrkirche Edelschrott. Im Ende des 17. Jahrhunderts wurde die damalige Kirche durch einen Neubau ersetzt, in welchen ältere Teile verbaut wurden.

Beschreibung

Im Westen der Kirche befindet sich ein Dachreiter mit Spitzhelm, welcher eine 1794 von Salesius Feltl gegossene Glocke beherbergt. An der südlichen Außenmauer findet man ein im Jahr 1956 von Franz Weiss angefertigtes Mosaik das den heiligen Martin zeigt. Am Dachboden über dem Chorscheidebogen hat sich die frühere, etwas niedrigere Giebelform des Kirchenschiffes erhalten.

Das vierjochige Langhaus wird durch einen stark eingeschnürten, rundbogigen Fronbogen vom gleich breiten, einjochigen Chor getrennt. Der Chor hat einen geraden Schluss welcher noch aus dem Mittelalter stammt und spätromanische Fenster aufweist. Sowohl das Langhaus als auch der Chor werden von einem Stichkappentonnengewölbe überspannt. An den Chor ist die Sakristei angebaut, welche niedriger und schmäler als dieser ist. Die, laut einer Inschrift 1864 renovierte Empore aus Holz befindet sich im westlichen Teil des Langhauses. Sie sitzt auf vier Säulen und hat einen vorschwingenden Mittelteil.

Der Hochaltar wurde um 1770 bis 1780 aufgestellt. Der links des Hochaltars stehende Marien- sowie der rechts des Hochaltars stehende Antoniusaltar stammen aus dem Jahr 1684 und wurden 1864 sowie 1915 restauriert. Die Kanzel stammt aus der zeit um 1700. Das Gehäuse der Orgel stammt aus der Zeit um 1720 bis 1730 und das Werk wurde 1914 von Matthäus Mauracher umgebaut.

Die Deckenmalereien in der Tradition des Barocks im Langhaus wurden 1811 gemalt und 1912 restauriert. Ein aus dem 14. Jahrhundert stammendes, den heiligen Martin sowie das Wappen der Leisser darstellendes Glasgemälde befindet sich heute im Universalmuseum Joanneum in Graz. Ein Pietà-Relief über dem Eingangstor der Kirche wurde 1959 vom Bildhauer Alfred Schlosser geschaffen.

This plugin enables Moodle 3.0+ teachers and admins to create Laerdal Medical activities that is launched externally on the Laerdal Medical EcoHub platform.
As this is an LTI Source type plugin, hence an LTI sub-plugin, it adds support for creating external activities launched using the LTI standard on the Laerdal Medical E-learning platform called EcoHub.
Although EcoHub accepts standard LTI launch parameters, using this plugin will enable full analytics support for tracking user compliance, metrics etc.for Laerdal Medical customers.
The EcoHub platform adheres to LTI-1p0 standards (see https://www.imsglobal.org/specs/ltiv1p0). In order to provide eplicit analytics data for users, departments, institutions and organizations, several LTI parameters must be present and some must even be unique. Most of these parameters are custom parameters.
When a student start a Laerdal Medical activity the LTI parameters are modified by this plugin just before the launch, providing additional information in the LTI custom parameters.
As the information provided to Laerdal Medical may be obtained from the Moodle user profiles, administrators should be aware of the plugin configuration. The configuration is determined per installation and be default, no user specific data is sent to Laerdal Medical.
The administrator can see the exact mappings from site or user profile data to LTI parameters on the settings page of the plugin. This page also displays sample data for each mapping.
This plugin is complete as is. It can be zipped and submitted on the Moodle plugin administration page for easy installation.
As the plugin is created specifically for the Laerdal Medical EcuHub platform, only pull requests from Laerdal Medical employees are taken into consideration for security reasons.
Employees should be sure to submit an issue via the BitBucket Issue Tracker before working on any pull requests.

Bijou is developed by Plaza and designed by Quadrangle.
Bijou on Bloor is a mid-rise, mixed-use condominium located in Bloor West Village.
Currently in pre-construction, the condo will consist of 193 units spanning 12 floors.
Suites range from a modest 516 sq. ft. to a massive 2057 sq. ft., and while prices have yet to be announced, they are expected to start around $600k.
Bijou will also boast world-class amenities and a location in Toronto's up-and-coming West End neighborhood.
Bijou is all about sharp lines and symmetry.
At 12-storeys tall, Bijou is a mid-rise condo with a stacked, geometric design.
Its exterior blends classic brown-brick with large square-glass windows and rectangular-glass balconies, giving it an industrial-chic vibe.
Here we see the emphasis on industrial materials and geometric shapes.
One of Bijou's most eye-catching features is its abundant terraces.
The condo has a myriad of balconies and private terraces.
Not only are these terraces spacious, with some wrapping around the corners of the building, they also overlook parks, promenades, and the shimmering waters of the Humber River.
Every unit will have floor-to-ceiling windows.
Although details have yet to be finalized, PlazaCorp's history of excellence promises the finest in luxury living.
Here's what we know so far: Bijou will offer a wide range of suites for every possible buyer. This includes 1 bedroom, 1 bedroom + den, 2 bedroom, and 3 bedroom units.
So whether you're a bachelor, couple or family, Bijou on Bloor has a suite just for you.
Units will likely feature 9-foot ceilings, laminate or engineered-hardwood floors, high-quality kitchen finishes, stainless-steel appliances, and gorgeous bathrooms.
Bijou is right next door to a medical clinic and across the street from several shops and cafes.
When complete, Bijou will be located in Bloor West Village, a neighborhood in Toronto's West End.
The family-friendly community is home to amazing schools, fantastic restaurants, quaint cafes, and Toronto's largest green-space: High Park.
At 400-acres, High Park contains ravines, ponds, forests, gardens, greenhouses, and even a zoo.
High Park also has several recreational spaces and facilities.
For example, you'll find children's playgrounds, picnic areas, tennis courts, baseball diamonds, bike trails, swimming pools, and so much more.
During winter, the city sets up an artificial ice-skating rink and allows cross-country skiing throughout the entire park.
Another highlight is the famous Shakespeare in High Park festival.
A must-see summer attraction in Toronto and one of the most successful festivals of its kind in Canada.
To see or not to see (according to The Globe, it's a definite "must-see").
Bloor West Village is also home to some of the best retail in Toronto.
In fact, Bloor West Village isn't actually a neighborhood—it's a shopping district!
The Bloor West Village shopping district…is so well defined that it is often considered its own neighbourhood….
So residents of Bijou will have access to retail on an unprecedented scale. This includes over 400 shops, restaurants, cafes, and services!
Bijou on Bloor is not your typical downtown condo.
It's not some tiny 1-bedroom apartment surrounded by sky-rises with barely a glimpse of nature.
Rather, Bijou is a mid-rise beauty in Toronto's scenic West End neighborhood.
It also has an assortment of unit types, making it perfect for individuals, couples or families. Plus its luxury amenities rival those of any downtown condo.
Above all, Bijou is in the perfect neighborhood.
Bloor West Village has everything you need nearby: shops, schools, restaurants, and Toronto's greatest green-space.

A few years ago I was invited to go on a National Geographic Channel documentary called, "Sleepless in America." The topic I was tagged in to discuss was sleep apnea. This is something that I have suffered from pretty much my entire adult life, and it only got worse when I gained all that weight.
By improving my health, I have made the sleep apnea better. Mind you, it's not gone, I still sleep with a cpap, but if I rip it off in my sleep, I don't snore as violently according to my wife.
Check out a snippet from the show. I come on a few times during the whole episode, but you get a few snippets here. Towards the end, they play this sad music as I'm talking, gives it a nice dramatic effect. LOL.
In any case, I just gave you another reason to get healthy! Click here for more on sleep apnea or visit Natgeo for more on the documentary.

Aptos comes out of nowhere, a new story for public chains in 2022?
07/18/2022 pm6:45 • Uncategorized • 6949 views
Looking at this bullish round of public chain rotation outbreak, the public chain landscape is not yet a foregone conclusion, despite ETH's first-mover advantage. For example, Solana, which is light on technology and heavy on ecology, uses measures such as introducing liquidity mining, providing subsidies for developers, holding hackathon and providing donation funds to incentivize users to experience their platform, while Polygon, Fantom, Harmony, Avalanche, Celo and NEAR, on the other hand, have taken a different approach and launched incentive programs one after another thus promoting their ecological prosperity. Whether through eco-incentives to better connect to ethereum or introducing pop-up applications, public chains can quickly capture market share. Public chains that have overspent on expectations before their official launch or ecological explosion have performed slightly worse, which shows that public chains are a demand-driven field.
The last bull market public chains benefited from the explosion of DeFi and NFT applications as well as the lack of processing power of Ether, and whoever can provide the performance support and financial support needed for new applications will be able to grow rapidly. This logic is expected to be slightly different in the next cycle, the reason being that after the market settles, quality applications that have survived the bulls and bears will capture more of the market, and accordingly the public chains where these applications are located will benefit from this.
The Impossible Trinity of Public Chain Development
The well-known blockchain Impossible Trinity, a concept proposed by Vitalik, means that blockchains must balance the following three major properties when optimizing their architecture, namely decentralization, security, and speed. At present, the development of the whole public chain is limited by the impossible triangle, and all kinds of blockchain models, no matter which consensus mechanism is used to decide the way to generate new blocks, can hardly take into account the three requirements of decentralization, security and speed at the same time, and can only take two of the three.
Recently a startup called Aptos, with concepts such as Facebook, libra ex-employees and a new platform for blockchain took a $200 million strategic investment led by a16z, becoming the new batch of public chains in the spotlight.
Aptos' vision is to build a more reliable and scalable blockchain. Compared to other mainstream public chains, Aptos' project background is particularly shiny:
1、Strong development team
Aptos was started by former team members of Meta's (former Facebook) stablecoin project Diem. Avery Ching, co-founder and CTO of Aptos, was the chief software engineer at Facebook for more than 10 years and was the technical leader of Novi team, the former Meta's crypto platform, focusing on all aspects of blockchain technology He also maintains the Diem blockchain. Alden Hu, Dahlia Malkhi and other developers and researchers on the development team were mostly involved in the development of Diem and Novi.
2, Top VC support
Top investment institutions support, Aptos in March this year completed a $200 million financing led by a16z, with the participation of Tiger Global, Katie Haun, Multicoin Capital, FTX Ventures, Coinbase Ventures, Binance Labs, and PayPal Ventures. PayPal Ventures and others. With the huge amount of funding and the support of top institutions, Aptos has been officially in the public eye since March.
3、With a new blockchain language — Move
Aptos is built in part on technology that has been publicly developed in Diem over the past three years, using Diem's programming language Move, which is more secure and reliable than ETH's Solidity language, while Aptos plans to be compatible with Solidity, making it easier for more ETH blockchain developers to migrate to Aptos. Diem was sold to Silvergate Crypto Bank earlier this year, but its Move programming language and Move Virtual Machine are available for all to use. It is clear that the new public chain has strong technical safeguards in place before it is even launched, with a design focus on absolute security, scalability and trusted neutrality, with the ultimate goal of being able to process 100,000 or even 160,000 transactions in a second.
4, stronger fault tolerance mechanism (upgraded version of Byzantine Fault Tolerance Consensus Protocol (BFT))
When Libra published its project white paper earlier, it explicitly used a Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) consensus protocol. And the Aptos team has spent the last three years of its life iterating the protocol to its fourth generation.
Synchronization of the BFT consensus protocol has always been a technical difficulty, assuming that messages in the network can arrive within a known time Δ, but in actual engineering practice it is difficult to ensure that this assumption holds. Therefore, in the semi-synchronous state, each replica node needs to maintain a timer that triggers the protocol once it times out, thus electing a new leader node.
When first deploying the BFT consensus protocol, the Aptos team added an active pacemaker to it that directly uses timeouts to synchronize verification nodes, which is significantly faster than waiting for timeouts to keep increasing. Through improvements to the protocol, Aptos submits blocks in a round trip between the two networks, with finality in the range of one second (in theory) under regular circumstances.
In addition to this, Aptos has a novel reputation system for analyzing the state of the chain and automatically updating the rotation of leader nodes to adjust unresponsive verification nodes. The whole process does not require any human intervention, which makes it well suited for a decentralized environment. In addition, the protocol explicitly separates validity from security. Whether the network is unreachable or the non-secure core is somehow compromised, there is no risk of the chain forking as long as the integrity guarantee of BFT is upheld. aptos says that its security has been audited and verified.
In addition, Aptos has more efficient scalability. To prevent the loss of funds due to theft of account private keys, account key recovery and rotation protocols are set up in Aptos, and Aptos can use multiple currencies to pay gas.
Recently, an organization has tested the speed of each major public chain, and the results are shown in the following chart. It can be found that the theoretical maximum TPS of Aptos reaches 160k, which exceeds Solana's 120k and is much higher than the TPS of other projects, while the transaction confirmation time (Time to finality) of Aptos is less than 1s, which is better than other public chains.
Aptos has 100 validation nodes on the current test network, which is not enough decentralization compared to ETH's nearly 6,000 validation nodes, but echoing the official propaganda of security and high speed, it is only natural that decentralization is not enough.
Aptos is not yet live, and on the application side, Liquidswap, developed by Pontem, is the first decentralized exchange on the Aptos network, a product development studio that it says may also work with Aptos to build development tools, EVM, AMM, and other Dapps and infrastructure. In addition to Liquidswap, Aptos also has the Fewcha wallet on it. Martian DAO is also building various products for the Aptos ecosystem, including the Martian Wallet, and an NFT marketplace called Curiosity, which focuses on both wallet-based infrastructure and DEX applications.
According to ZT Labs, Aptos' founding team has the top technology development and operation team in the blockchain industry, and will release its mainnet in Q3 this year, and the project has previously received $200 million in strategic financing with the participation of Coinbase, FTX, and Three Arrows Capital. However, as it is still in the test network stage, the performance of the main network needs to be further observed, and it also faces the risk of litigation, which has also laid a hidden danger for the development of Aptos.
Users who are able to do so can participate in Aptos test network activities, such as test nodes, or participate in some peripheral ecology on the test network to have the opportunity to receive potential airdrops.
ZT Labs: Bear Market is the Best Time to Breed Great Public Chains
A good public chain must go through several rounds of bull and bear and the cruel test of the market to prove its superiority. Besides Ethereum, whether Fantom, Solana and Avalanche can go further depends on their future ecological development. In the big cycle of crypto finance, public chains will always have their own half of the world. Public chains are the infrastructure of blockchain and one of the best paths for the whole crypto circle to break the circle of growth.

Small Liberal Arts Colleges Appoint Black Presidents
The Hechinger Report: New faces on campus: Students of all races welcome first black presidents to largely white colleges
While studying abroad last year, Swarthmore College senior Chinyere Odim met Valerie Smith, the first black president of her largely white liberal arts college. The meeting, as Odim recalls it, reminded her why a racial mix on campus matters.
"She was so excited to talk with me and to learn about my experience abroad,'' Odim, who is black and originally from Brooklyn, said of her conversation with Swarthmore President Smith while she visited London on her inauguration tour. "I feel like she gets me, and that's why I appreciate her being here."
Since 2013, seven small, highly selective liberal arts colleges not known for diversity have for the first time chosen college presidents who are black— just as students are demanding a better racial mix on their campuses.
At Kenyon, a school of 1,689 that is more than 73 percent white, it's not just black students who appreciate the new appointments. Emily Margolin, a white senior from New York City, inquired about the lack of diversity when she began considering colleges.
Margolin wanted a better racial and ethnic mix, so she asked an admissions officer about efforts for change underway on the idyllic rural campus in Gambier, Ohio, where just over four percent of students are black.
"He said, 'Kenyon is working on it, but there is a predominant brand of young person who attends the school,'" recalled Margolin, now a political science major who loves her school but recognizes it has a lot of work ahead to become more diverse.
Kenyon President Sean Decatur ['90] says the school is taking important steps, scouting for high-achieving students from backgrounds less represented on campus and inviting them to Kenyon for a weekend at the college's expense.
"These programs connect us to college counselors to gain access to students who might have been overlooked," Decatur said. "It gives students from Cleveland, Detroit, or Chicago an opportunity to consider Kenyon, to get to know the campus. The weekend really plays a role in helping these students see themselves as part of the pool."
Last year, when Swarthmore students showed their support for protestors at the University of Missouri — who had demanded the resignation of that school's president over claimed mishandling of racism on campus — Swarthmore's new president Smith, a scholar and former dean at Princeton University, met with student leaders.
"It was a very eloquent expression of the spirit of collaboration," Smith said of the protestors. "The moment was meant to acknowledge solidarity with students across the country, and for the work that has to happen on our campus."
Sean Decatur '90 graduated from Swarthmore College with a B.A. in chemistry. At Swarthmore, he was one of the first graduates of what is now the Mellon Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship Program.
Valerie Smith, a distinguished scholar of African-American literature, is the 15th president of Swarthmore College. Upon her arrival at Swarthmore, she identified several priorities, among them attracting more low-income and first-generation students and providing for them an exceptional undergraduate experience. She is also strongly committed to curricular innovation and to strengthening relationships between the College and the region.
Submissions Welcome
The Communications Office invites all members of the Swarthmore community to share videos, photos, and story ideas for the College's website. Have you seen an alum in the news? Please let us know by writing news@swarthmore.edu.


Preserve, serve, drink — be impressed.
The airtight seal helps to slow down the process of alcohol oxidization, thus the stopper extends the life of the opened wine without ruining the flavor.
Made of premium stainless steel, the bottle stopper and the stand are sure to last for years, while the brushed finish matches with any decor. The food-grade silicone ring keeps the wine securely inside the bottle, so you can store the wine on its side in fridge.
Adopting the standard size and conical shape, the stopper fits well with almost all standard wine bottles. Three bottle stoppers allow you to preserve multiple bottles of wine at the same time, and to differentiate them easily from the stopper head.
These wine stoppers look good and fit the standard wine bottle neck size. But the downside is that the metal will go rusty if not well dried. For that reason, I have since bought new ones made of silicone which will not degrade like metal.
Bought to give my Daughter in law along with a bottle of wine. I will wait to see if they work.
Bought as a present and looks very nice.
Brilliant, better than original cork. I recently found that my 15 year old whiskey evaporated in the bottle due to the original cork drying out. (PS cannot lay whisky down as this also will rot the cork!). I recently bought into the county "duty free" an ehghteen year old rear malt, definatly didnt want the same to happen to that! Thease bottle stoppers are a perfect solution.
Eccoe send the item to me for test and review. Product arrived well packed and it looks good. Good design with different shapes to make your life easier finding the bottle that you need. Does a good job as wine stopper.
Ecooe sent me this wine stopper set for review. It's a nice set, not much to go wrong with. If you need 3 wine stoppers, these do the job and look pretty good too.
I was asked to look at this product by the manufacturer and so was issued the product free of charge. I have to say that they are actually quite nice and have a smart brushed stainless steel appearance. OK Looks aside, the stoppers to what they say they do and are in a good fit in the bottle, and do provide a good seal. The stand is a nicety, although I did feel that the stands feet were a little sharp but not enough to cut. Overall a good price.
Premium wine stopper to store favourite vintages.
I was given a free sample in exchange for an unbiased review. The metal feels very sturdy and premium, and the product looks it too. As an actual wine stopper it functions well, and the different shaped heads make it easy to distinguish between bottles in your wine rack, for people like me who tend to drink wine over weeks. For personal use they are very nice.
