Als Schaltraum (englisch: electrical room) wird ein Raum bezeichnet, in dem elektrotechnische Einrichtungen, Schaltanlagen oder Schutzsysteme untergebracht sind. Beispiele dafür sind
 Schaltanlagen für Mittel und Niederspannung,
 Speicherprogrammierbare Steuerungen,
 Verteiler, Geräte für Mess- und Regelungstechnik,
 Schutzsysteme (Kurzschluss-, Überlast-,  Überspannungsschutz),
 oder Steuerzentralen wie die Hauptuhren von Uhrenanlagen.
Auch andere Nebenräume werden, im Umfeld der industriellen Produktionsanlagen, als Schaltraum bezeichnet, wenn sie besondere Anforderungen und Regeln zu erfüllen haben, beispielsweise  Rechnerräume, Batterieräume, Prozessanalysengeräte- oder nachrichtentechnische Räume.

Wesentliche Merkmale
Die Lage dieser Räume richtet sich nach sicherheitstechnischen und verkehrstechnischen Gesichtspunkten, wie Fluchtweg, gute Zugänglichkeit für Bedienung und Transport sowie Brandbekämpfung. Schalträume werden, nach örtlicher Möglichkeit, getrennt von anderen Einrichtungen der Produktion vorgesehen (z. B. im Kopfbau eines Gebäudes). Diese Räume sind in der Regel verschlossen und sind nur für Fachpersonal zugänglich. Je nach Größe und Umgebung wird in einem Schaltraum ein zusätzlicher Fluchtausgang vorgesehen.

Je nach Art der installierten Einrichtungen, sind Schalträume unter Berücksichtigung von unzulässiger Erwärmung durch Außen- und Inneneinflüssen konzipiert. Entsprechende Mittel zur Belüftung und Kühlung werden vorgesehen. Die Räume sind feuerbeständig ausgeführt und von angrenzenden Räumen baulich getrennt. Je nach Umfeld werden explosionsgefährdete Zonen durch besondere Einrichtungen wie Schleusen oder entsprechend ausgeführten Kabeldurchführungen berücksichtigt.

Die elektrotechnischen Einrichtungen werden in Schaltschränken oder offenen Gestellen (sog. Felder die die örtliche Lage im Raum definieren) untergebracht. In vielen Schalträumen ist ein Kabelboden (Doppelboden) vorgesehen. Leitungen können so ohne großen Aufwand von unten her in die Schaltschränke oder Felder zugeführt werden.

Regularien

Die Merkmale zur konstruktiven Gestaltung von Schalträumen sind Gegenstand mehrerer DIN und VDI/VDE-Richtlinien sowie von Verordnungen. Dabei sind insbesondere die Richtlinie VDI/VDE 3546, DIN VDE 0100, VDI/VDE 2180 sowie die Arbeitsstättenrichtlinie zu nennen. Zusammengefasst und erläutert werden diese Normen z. B. im NAMUR-Arbeitsblatt NA26 – PLT-Räume Prozeßleitwarten, Leitstände, Nebenräume, Planungshilfe für die konstruktive Gestaltung. Das Arbeitsblatt gibt für Schalträume nachstehende wesentliche Anforderungen vor (Auszug):

Gesicherte Zugänge und Fluchtwege, auch für die Feuerwehr.
Lage nicht unter Erdgleiche (Begründung: Gefahr durch Wasser bei Rohrbrüchen und Feuerwehreinsätzen, Gefahr durch schwere Gase).
Lage außerhalb der Ex-Zone.
Lage möglichst innerhalb eines Gebäudes an der Außenwand (Kabelzuführung).
Bedarfsweise sind mehrere Schalträume für die elektrische Leistungsverteilung den Anlagenteilen sinnvoll zuzuordnen (dezentrale Schalträume in der Nähe von Verbraucherschwerpunkten).
Günstige Leitungsführung beachten, Niederspannungs- und Mittelspannungsschalträume sind vorzugsweise räumlich zu trennen.
Wasser-, Dampf- und Produktrohrleitungen dürfen nicht durch diese Räume geführt werden.

The Action/Sci-Fi Comic Book Series The Unearthians unveils Issue #1 Cover During WonderCon in Anaheim, CA
Los Angeles, CA, 3/26/2018 — Writer/Creator Omar Mora, owner of Moras Productions, Inc. unveiled the cover art for the first issue of a new action/sci-fi comic book series titled The Unearthians #1. The big reveal took place this past weekend during WonderCon in Anaheim, CA. The cover for The Unerthians #1 displayed the beautiful illustrated work created by Mauricio Alvarez and Edwin Estrada.
The Unearthians is an action packed sci-fi narrative where two best friends are abducted and transported into an underground base somewhere on Earth. During the abduction, lead characters Mateo and Carter go on a quest to uncover the truth when they discover the aliens' dark agenda against Earth and the entire Galaxy. With the help of three other beings named Naurax, Ecraptor and Flex, these heroes decide to fight against the aliens' sinister plans. Further on, Mateo and Carter also hold a secret of their own which they will use to their advantage, a secret that the aliens will never see coming. The Unerthians is an original sci-fi story where good and evil collide in a fight that's linked to a greater cause, and where an unconventional team comes together to fight against fascism and against a greater power.
"I'm so happy with the cover art that Mauricio illustrated and the life that Edwin gave it through his use of color. The artwork that they are creating for the rest of the comic book is just as beautiful and unique. It's very exciting to see how the storyline I wrote has come to life through the amazing illustrations created by these two amazingly talented men. Now I can't wait to share our story with all of you. " Mora said.
'"My main priority now is to work hard on finding a publisher for The Unerthians. In the meantime, the artists will keep working on illustrating the remaining issues that have been written. Two issues have already been completed. Now Mauricio and Edwin are working hard on the third one. It is very important for publishers to consider us, so I'm also working hard on creating a marketing campaign to build an audience for this new series" added Mora.
Omar Mora is the writer and creator of The Unearthians. He is originally from Puerto Rico and currently resides in Los Angeles. Mora began his writing career in 2012, and since then has written several scripts and Ancient Explorers: The Lost City of Peru, a self-published novel. In 2016, Mora wrote and produced the film 30 Days with My Brother through his company Moras Productions, Inc., thus becoming the first Puerto Rican born and raised on the island to write and produce a feature film resulting in national distribution within the United States in AMC Theaters through AMC Independent™.

对于参与这部电影制作的大部分团队而言,这部电影是他们的登台之作。"和我兄弟在一起的30天"由Michael May导演, 主演是极具爆发力和感染力的影星Adrian Nuñez 和 Omar Mora。 Mora同时也是这部影片的编剧和出品人——这是第一部由在波多黎各出生, 土生土长的制作人影片,在美国通过AMC独立院线上映。这个成就来之不易,从2012年开始其写作生涯起,Mora就有心制作一部以自身经历为蓝本的故事片,他为此目标,作出了坚持不懈的奋斗。
( This is the first distributed feature film for many involved in this project. 30 Days with My Brother is directed by Michael May and also features the powerful and moving performance of its stars Adrian Nuñez and Omar Mora. Mora also wrote and produced the film and is the first Puerto Rican born and raised on the island to produce a film resulting in national distribution in the United States through AMC Independent™. This feat is not to be taken lightly, as he has been working hard towards this goal since he began his writing career in 2012 with the intention of documenting his stories and producing them into feature films. )
Mora是拉丁美洲独立制作人国家联盟的会员。他是通过参加由AMC院线在2015年NALIP媒体峰会上举办的Nikkole Denson-Randolph讲座,而了解到关于AMC独立院线资讯的。这个讲座为Mora提供了必要的知识和渠道来成功发行他的电影。
( Mora is a member of the National Association of Latino Independent Producers (NALIP). It was through a workshop led by AMC Theatres' Nikkole Denson-Randolph at the 2015 NALIP Media Summit that Mora learned about AMC Independent™. This workshop provided Mora with the knowledge and tools necessary to successfully distribute his film. )
Mora说:"我非常激动地得知我们的电影将通过有限电视和网络付费频道发布。"他补充道:"我们的院线放映时间很短,也局限在几个城市。现在,我们的电影将在全美国国内放映,和全国的观众分享,同时还将发行到亚洲,加拿大和拉丁美洲。'和我兄弟在一起的30天'是为每一位观众拍摄的故事。这部电影的主题是全球性的,它可以连接世界各地的观众,打动他们的心。我为这部独立制作电影而自豪。"
( "I'm very excited that our movie will be out on cable and online VOD," said Mora. He added, "Our theatrical release was very short and limited to a few cities. Now we will be able to share our movie domestically with the whole nation in the United States, and internationally in Asia, Canada and Latin America. 30 Days with My Brother is a movie for everyone. The message of the movie is universal and I know it will connect with audiences and touch people's heart. I'm very proud of our indie film." )
这部感人至深的故事片讲述的是两兄弟被迫面对他们的过去,同时又都在想方设法重建彼此之间的兄弟关系。这部由Mora和Nuñez主演的电影,讲述了来自波多黎各的两兄弟,在童年时代因为悲剧而分离, 17年后兄弟团聚,一个成为医生, 一个成为因为自己不幸遭遇而心怀怨恨的黑色人物。

Editor's Choice How impact businesses can target investment
How impact businesses can target investment
By Oliver Jones, Head of Marketing at Angel Investment Network & SeedTribe
While the UK was basking in record temperatures, the Mediterranean was burning: literally. With devastating human and economic costs. Many countries including Greece and Portugal all experienced the ferocity of extreme weather with wild fires.
The difference between weather and climate means that we cannot officially say this is caused by human activity. But it is unequivocal (with 97 per cent consensus among the scientific community) that warming from greenhouse gas emissions is contributing to the growing frequency and severity of extreme weather.
And climate change is only one of the great 'moral issues' of our time, as Pope Francis described it in 2015. The United Nations has marked out 17 pressing social/environmental/economic issues in its Global Goals for Sustainable Development (SDGs for short).
At this moment, innovation is set to play a decisive role in the outcomes. We are already seeing entrepreneurs emerging with solutions: re-usable tampons, food packaging that tells you when food is off, fishing nets that ward off the wrong types of fish.
These 'impactful' businesses show that profit doesn't have to preclude conscience. Investors who look for profit-with-purpose companies are known as impact investors and their numbers are on the up as they realise that saving the world is a vast and lucrative market.
The growing urgency of many environmental and social issues, and the support offered by the UK government means that the UK impact space is set to grow increasingly crowded in the next five years. As a result, it is important for entrepreneurs to effectively communicate the impact they are making; and for investors to understand how to evaluate impact.
'Impact' is not a binary framework – it is impossible to say that a business either is or is not impactful. But this sliding scale means that an objective analysis of impact can prove difficult, especially with startups.
New Philanthropy Capital (NPC) have created their Impact Risk Classification (IRC) which allows businesses to compare their approach to impact with current best practices. This helps companies measure their impact and communicate that to investors in a meaningful way.
At Seedtribe, a crowdfunding platform for impact startups, we also use the UN's Sustainable Development Goals as a starting point for assessing a company's potential impact before exploring how deep and/or wide the problem extends. We then look at standard indices of business success such as team experience, market size and traction to understand the business' potential for making impact.
The perennial problem investors face when evaluating startups is the lack of tangible evidence as a precursor to future success. This is true when it comes to impact. Businesses must become expert at communicating their impact. Frameworks like the NPC's IRC and the UN's SDG categories can help businesses define themselves to investors.
The more frameworks like these, the more they will become part of the accepted language of the impact space making it easier for entrepreneurs to communicate the positive change they hope to make.
The challenge then for impact entrepreneurs is effectively communicating the extent of the problem they are trying to solve. Entrepreneurs must be clear in the language they use to convey their impact. If this can be achieved, it will enable the alignment of 'doing good' with making profit – which could have the biggest impact of all.

Chesney's tough luck
Kenny Chesney has a good rep. He seems like a nice guy, who has obviously connected extremely well with his fans.
Now, Chesney has gotten involved, unfortunately, in a difficult situation thanks to the good folks at Ticketmaster, who somehow gave out the wrong price for tickets to his June 18, 2011 gig in the City of Brotherly Love.
Ticketmaster said it made a "pricing error" in selling tickets for $25 tickets because the tickets were supposed to be priced at $99.50 each. It was not clear how many tickets Ticketmaster sold to the Lincoln Financial Field show. The seats at the wrong price were in the upper deck of the club level sections.
The company started selling tickets Nov. 13. Chesney fanatics who bought the $25 tickets received an email last weekend notifying them of the mistake. Ticketmaster apologized and gave buyers the option of either receiving a full refund or buying the tickets at the new price.
The email said, "Unfortunately, the wrong price was placed onto the system due to an inadvertent error by the venue's box office. The ticket price you paid was $25.00, plus applicable service charges, however the correct price for your seats is $99.50, plus applicable service charges."
"If you'd like to keep these seats for the show, please reply to this email by December 3rd at 7:00PM EST with authorization to charge your credit card the correct price (an additional $74.50 per ticket purchased), and please include the following account number x-xxxxx. Your current tickets will still be valid for use on the day of the show."
"Prefer a refund? You don't have to do anything - if we don't hear from you by December 3rd at 7:00PM EST, we'll refund your card the full amount automatically. If you prefer a refund, please discard the tickets we sent you - they will be canceled and won't get you in."
"Please accept our sincere apologies for this error."
Ticketmaster said in its purchase policy that it could cancel tickets when errors arise.
However, as you can imagine, fans probably are not exactly jumping for joy at the news. It also makes Chesney look real bad, even though he presumably had zilch to do with the mistake. Yet, the situation does not leave a good taste in the mouths of Chesney fans. I'm not sure what Chesney can do to rectify the situation. It's not as if he should eat $74.50 per ticket for someone else's mistake. And Ticketmaster isn't likely to do an about face and change its mind and let fans in for $25 either. Too bad for Chesney fans because they're going to either have to pony up or sit at home.
Let's hope that Chesney puts on one great show, particularly for those who forked over the extra money.

Boebert Failed to Disclose Husband's Nearly Half-Million Energy Company Salary
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colorado) prepares for a news conference outside the Capitol on Thursday, July 29, 2021.
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colorado) failed to disclose her husband's large energy company earnings during her congressional campaign as required by law, according to a report by The Associated Press.
Boebert's husband made $478,000 last year and $460,000 in 2019 while consulting for Terra Energy Productions, according to the disclosure. The lawmaker, who filed the 2020 earnings this week, should have reported the income last year during her run for office, as campaign and congressional finance laws require lawmakers to disclose all sources of income, including investments.
AP reported that, while there is no Terra Energy Productions in Colorado, there is a Houston, Texas-based company called Terra Energy Partners that claims to be "one of the largest producers of natural gas in Colorado."
The late disclosure raises ethical questions for transparency advocates.
"Voters have a right to know what financial interest their elected officials might be beholden to," Kedric Payne, Campaign Legal Center senior ethics director and former deputy chief counsel for the Office of Congressional Ethics, told The Washington Post. The Office of Congressional Ethics should investigate the lawmaker for what "could be [a] criminal" failure to disclose, if it was done intentionally.
Boebert now serves on the House Natural Resources Committee, which oversees energy and land management in the U.S., including fossil fuel extraction inland and offshore. She has also introduced legislation that could have benefited her husband financially or professionally, as Terra Energy's focus is on oil and gas exploration, according to its website.
Since January, when Boebert was sworn in, she has introduced several pro-fossil fuel bills and made statements aimed at bolstering the industry or taking down its detractors, the American Independent reported.
In her first month in office, the Colorado representative introduced a bill that would have barred the U.S. from reentering the 2015 Paris Agreement, a nonbinding international agreement to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The next month, she introduced a bill that would keep the U.S. from banning oil and gas leasing on federal lands and reverse Joe Biden's decision to axe the Keystone XL pipeline.
Boebert criticized the Green New Deal after Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York) and Sen. Ed Markey (D-Massachusetts) reintroduced the resolution earlier this year. In her statement, Boebert said that the proposal calls for a reduction in fossil fuel use that would throw the country into "a literal energy dark age."
Boebert is not the only lawmaker defending fossil fuels who has close ties to the industry. The oil and gas industry contributes millions to lawmakers, influencing Republicans and Democrats alike to continue legislating in their favor. The most recent and high profile example of this is the infrastructure bill, which was stripped of its climate provisions by lawmakers under the influence of oil giant Exxon.
The Colorado Republican also faces scrutiny over other potentially illegal actions involving campaign funds, including questions from the Federal Election Commission over an "apparent personal use of thousands of dollars in campaign funds."

Everything We Know About Valorant Hypebeast Skins
It looks as though Valorant players will be able to add some amazing looking Hypebeast skins in to their collections.
Published May 12, 2020, 9:05 a.m. about Valorant
by Nicholas Barth
One exciting aspect of Valorant that has drawn the attention of players is the variety of skins that players can get for the different weapons in the first-person shooter. Riot Games has already added a plethora of cosmetic items to the closed beta of the title. There are sure to be plenty more kinds of these cosmetics ready to be added to Valorant in the future, which was made clear when the Hypebeast skins bundle was leaked. Now, plenty of players are anxiously waiting to see when these Hypebeast skins are added to the game. Fortunately, we have everything currently known about this particular bundle covered for you.
Valorant Hypebeast Skins
These Hypebeast skins are not currently available in the tactical shooter and have not been made available in the past for the title's closed beta. However, the community was made aware of their existence when community member Santa Ricky leaked the Hypebeast items for Valorant through a massive data mining effort. You can see what these cosmetic items look like in the image below:
The official price for this bundle is not known. Past bundles for Valorant have cost 4,375 pieces of currency, so it is highly likely that the Hypebeast skins bundle will cost a similar amount for those who are wanting to add it to their collections. One of the most exciting aspects of this bundle is that it includes an ax. This would be the first time that a melee weapon other than a knife has been made available for players to use when playing. This is likely the reason why Riot Games has classified the knives as "melee" weapons instead of only saying knives meaning the community could see other kinds of melee weapons in the future in addition to the ax in the Hypebeast skins bundle.
We will update this piece with any information regarding when the Hypebeast skins are added to Valorant when it is made available. There is a possibility that the Hypebeast skins will not be made available during the closed beta of the game and will put in the title's in-game store following its official launch in Summer 2020.
There is no doubt that plenty of players will be excited to show off the sleek purple, gold, and black color scheme of the Hypebeast skins when they are playing and collecting their best highlights. I would argue that these are the very best cosmetic items that Riot Games has created for Valorant so far and will be a massive hit in the community.

The plugin comes with several different options to suit your needs. You can display photos by tag, by group, decide how many photos to display, what type of photos to display (popular, latest or random) and more.
The settings for Flickr Photo can be found under Appearance > Widgets. Drag the 'Simple Flickr Photos' to your sidebar or footer where you want the photos to appear and configure it, and you're set.
Another way to keep visitors on your site is to offer them interactive computer games. There are a variety of online games that can be embedded into posts or your website, giving you an easy way to keep users on your site for a longer time.

You can choose the background colour, size, default level, whether or not to show the history or not, and more.

Family Law Ireland
Access,custody,maintenance,guardianship,separation,divorce,domestic violence. Terry Gorry & Co. Solicitors
Family Law Videos
Children and Family Relationships Bill, 2015-Safeguarding the Interests of Children
Part 8 deals with safeguarding the interests of children.
Head 53: Safeguards to ensure applicant's awareness of alternatives to custody, access and guardianship proceedings and to assist attempts at agreement
This Head reproduces the provisions of section 20 of the 1964 Act (as inserted by section 11 of the Children Act 1997) with minor amendments to cross references. It provides for a solicitor to inform an applicant of various possible alternatives to legal proceedings, and the certification of same.
Head 54: Safeguards to ensure respondent's awareness of alternatives to custody, access and guardianship proceedings and to assist attempts at agreement
This Head reproduces the provisions of section 21 of the 1964 Act (as inserted by section 11 of the Children Act 1997) with only minor amendments to cross references. It provides for a solicitor to inform a respondent of various possible alternatives to legal proceedings, and the certification of same.
Head 55: Adjournment of proceedings to assist agreement on custody or guardianship of or access to children
This Head reproduces the provisions of section 22 of the 1964 Act (as inserted by section 11 of the Children Act 1997) with only minor amendments in cross references. It allows proceedings to be adjourned to allow the parties try to reach agreement.
Head 56: Non-admissibility as evidence of certain communications relating to attempts to reach agreement
Subhead (1) reproduces the provisions of section 23 of the 1964 Act (as inserted by section 11 of the Children Act 1997). It provides that communications in an attempt to reach agreement on custody, access or other dispute concerning a child are not admissible in court: the exemption is mandatory in order to allow for the most open possible dialogue between the parties and any mediator / adviser assisting the, Subhead (2) clarifies that this general and mandatory exemption of communications between the parties or either of them and third parties does not apply to any admission of abuse (or risk of abuse) or disclosure of abuse. This is to prioritise child protection and comply with the Children First guidelines.
Head 57: Orders in respect of custody or access agreements
This Head reproduces the provisions of section 24 of the 1964 Act (as inserted by section 11 of the Children Act 1997) with the small but important amendment that it refers to the best interests of the child. Essentially, an agreement concerning custody and access may, on application by one of the parties, be made a rule of court, provided the court is satisfied it protects the interests of the parties and is in the best interests of the child.
Head 58: Procuring by court of report on question affecting the welfare of a child
This provision is broadly analogous to section 47 of the Family Law Act 1995. The insertion of subhead (4) relates to the access a child who is the subject of the report may have to it and the factors the court must consider in determining whether to grant such access. The direct inclusion of this provision in the Scheme will have the effect of extending the court jurisdiction. At present, the circuit court may order a section 47 report, but the district court may not. The powers are provisionally conferred on the Child and Family Agency.
Head 59: Whether to proceed in the absence of the child
This Head mirrors section 27 of the 1964 Act and provides that a child is not required to attend proceedings but is entitled to do so on her or his request unless the court considers that attendance would not be in the child's best interests.
Head 60: Power to appoint a guardian ad litem
This provision is broadly analogous to section 29 of the 1964 Act, which has not been commenced. There is an important difference in that provision is not made for legal representation of a guardian ad litem. The guardian ad litem is defined in subhead (6) as an independent officer of the court and is neither a party to nor the subject of proceedings. Accordingly, it is not considered necessary that the guardian ad litem have separate legal representation. Subheads (4) to (7) set out the functions of the guardian ad litem.

Lady Elizabeth Sombart Celebrates The 250th Anniversary Of The Birth Of Beethoven On Spotify
August 26 05:37 2020
Award-winning pianist, Lady Elizabeth, Delivers the Complete BEETHOVEN Concertos on Digital Streaming Platforms to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the birth of the sublime composer
Lady Elizabeth Sombart remains one of the greatest pianists to grace the surface of the earth and she has again delivered another masterpiece in a new project titled Beethoven PIANO CONCERTOS Nos. 5. The body of work is done in celebration of the 250th anniversary of the birth of the sublime composer, Beethoven, and is currently available on Spotify and other digital streaming platforms.
Born in Bonn, Ludwig van Beethoven is a German composer and pianist and currently ranks as one of the most admired composers in the history of Western music. His works are amongst the most performed of the classical music repertoire, and decades after his death, Beethoven's music talent and works remain outstanding in the world of entertainment. Over the years, several stakeholders in the industry have worked on recreating different pieces from the German music legend. However, many of the remade works do not have the kind of effect Beethoven would have been proud of. Lady Elizabeth Sombart, therefore, aims to make Ludwig van Beethoven turn and smile in his grave with the rendition of the complete BEETHOVEN concertos for piano and orchestra.
With this latest work, Lady Elizabeth Sombart closes the recordings of the complete Beethoven piano concertos (six piano concertos). This also makes her the only artist that has honored the sublime composer with such a dense and rich program in 2020.
The project is done in collaboration with Pierre Vallet and Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, London, giving the best possible appreciation to one of the best entertainers in the world to celebrate the 250th anniversary of his birth. Lady Elizabeth Sombart is looking to bless the ears of millions of music lovers across the globe with the amazing compilation.
No other person could have done an amazing rendition of Beethoven's works than Lady Elizabeth Sombart. The award-winning entertainer has been playing the piano all her life as she started studying the piano from the tender age of seven. As a philanthropist and an advocate of classical music, Elizabeth Sombart seeks to share the genre with the widest possible audiences and with people from disadvantaged backgrounds. Consequently, she created the Fondation Résonnance in 1998 to bring classical music to outreach venues, including hospitals, orphanages, and prisons. The foundation also aims to establish piano schools open to all without any age restrictions, based upon the principles of free teaching, with no exams or competitions.

Q: Is there any relation between LDAP and SNMP? Can SNMP exist without LDAP? I understand that SNMP is a protocol for managing (view/update) system resources information remotely and LDAP is a protocol to access and use directory services information.
But is there any correlation between both protocols? Is one dependent on the other? Do I need to understand SNMP, if I need to understand LDAP thoroughly?
The reason I asked this is I am trying to understand what is LDIF and here when talking about it, there are references of SNMP syntax in this page: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E10773_01/doc/oim.1014/e10531/schema_overview.htm.

A: No relation, other than that OID namespace (or hierarchical numbering system) is used for both LDAP object types and SNMP MIB nodes.
The OID namespace is standardized by both the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) and IEC/ISO, so it is just a way for companies to have a guaranteed-unique prefix for any new LDAP object types and/or SNMP objects they might want.
You will also find OID numbers in X.509 certificate extensions, DHCP(v6) vendor suboptions, and other places.

A: These protocols are completely unrelated. They just share a method to name objects.
The only possible connections I can see:

*

*You might be able to monitor an LDAP server via SNMP (like any number of other systems).

*Also it might be possible with some SNMP (v3) implementations to authenticate against an LDAP service.

Edit re. your comment:
In LDAP, you use object identifiers to describe data structures (but not actual data) in a globally unique (hierarchical) way. As an example,  taken from cosine.schema:
attributetype ( 0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.2 NAME 'textEncodedORAddress'
EQUALITY caseIgnoreMatch
SUBSTR caseIgnoreSubstringsMatch
SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15{256} )

would instruct the LDAP server that the field textEncodedORAddress has the OID 0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.2 and must use the syntax described by the OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15.
The DIT syntax (ou=marketing,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com) is used to describe actual entries of real data.


Water tag games are super fun for kids of all ages. Portable water tag is just like Laser tag for summer and much more fun if you live in a hot place like Phoenix, Arizona. Water tag mazes come in many different sizes and colors but you want to make sure and rent a big one so it's not to crowded inside and the players have room to run and hide.
Water tag games are best when setup on grass to keep the players feet cool but it can also be setup on other surfaces like concrete so be sure to let the rental company know what surface you plan on setting up on.
Childrens entertainment companies like Arizona Bounce Around in Scottsdale, Arizona will carry lots of summer party games and activities like water walking balls, dunk tanks and water balloon games just to name a few so check them out today.
Summer parties can be lot's of fun if you have activities for all age groups and thats what I like about water tag mazes because kids and adults on every skill level can play this game together or be used as a team building competition.

Retailers are working to optimize experiences however their customers choose to engage, but the best experiences are backed by an omnichannel payments platform
Less than three months into 2020, retail found itself on the receiving end of an omnichannel wake-up call. Thousands of stores quickly closed their doors for days, then weeks, then months. And, those allowed to stay open were suddenly dealing with shoppers determined on getting in and out without talking to employees or touching checkout PIN pads. Contactless became the name of the game, and projects aimed at improving omnichannel experiences were pushed from the back burner to the front —with the heat turned all the way up. Without an omnichannel payments platform in place, however, merchants were left patching their operations together — and probably watching better-equipped competitors gobble up their market share, too.
Astronomical Omnichannel Experiences Growth
The events of 2020 ended up mainstreaming the omnichannel services that, just months before, some businesses may have bragged were differentiators. With consumers intent on curbing the time they spent in a store rubbing shoulders with strangers, retailers responded by turning on systems to accept orders through e-commerce that shoppers would retrieve in a store, what's commonly referred to as "buy online pickup in store" or BOPIS. Cloud commerce provider Kibo said its clients saw a 563 percent surge in BOPIS orders during the pandemic, while Adobe documented a 62 percent spike in BOPIS just two weeks after lockdowns first started last year in March.
Curbside pickup got a COVID-19 bump, too, thanks to consumers who may not have wanted to risk setting foot in a store at all. An Incisiv report says 85 percent of consumers are opting for curbside pickup noticeably more often than they did before COVID-19, while 79 percent describe contactless store pickup as a top priority.
To capture sales online that are fulfilled in a store, retailers require an omnichannel payments platform that seamlessly unites channels on a single system.
Consumer Expect All Omnichannel Experiences to be Excellent — Even Returns
Last year's e-commerce onslaught might have buoyed retailers, but it came with a wrinkle, too: returns. Consumers accustomed to the omnichannel convenience of dealing with online returns in a physical store versus bracing for a trip to a parcel carrier strained many a merchant over the past 12 months. Many shoppers, it turns out, aren't satisfied with how companies manage the online experience, with a SOTI report finding 57 percent "frustrated" with some aspect of shipping, delivery or returns. Implementing an omnichannel payments solution can ease the burden—for merchants and consumers alike—of ensuring products can be taken back and refunded in the store with minimal hassle.
Omnichannel payments also helped merchants adapt to another effect of the pandemic: accommodating alternative ways to pay that had been hanging around without much interest caught fire seemingly overnight. Spooked by the coronavirus, consumers quickly figured out how to set up digital wallets so they could make contactless, tap-and-go" payments.
Additionally, the QR codes that now commonly unlock tableside restaurant menus are playing a larger role in payments. Juniper Research says the volume of people in the U.S. using QR codes to pay for goods and services will spike 240 percent through 2025. The research firm credits the outlook not just to the pandemic but also to PayPal's high-profile implementation with CVS. And as consumers get comfortable texting the businesses and brands they buy from, it's not a stretch to imagine SMS becoming a preferred way to send and receive money. But to make that happen, businesses must evaluate whether their tech stack passes muster with today's omnichannel standards.
The right payment platform is an indispensable part of the modern enterprise, underpinning omnichannel experiences, such as BOPIS and curbside pickup while eliminating redundancies and facilitating a wide range of processes. But don't overlook what could be their most enticing asset: collecting invaluable data on how consumers buy and behave—insights that can feed future features and foster traffic via clicks and bricks. A fit-for-purpose payments system is the one investment today's merchants focused on competing by providing excellent omnichannel experiences can't afford to go without.
With business activities in 50 markets and 150+ currencies around the world, EVO is among the largest fully integrated merchant acquirers and payment processors in the world.

Brett – SEALs of Honor Book 11 by Dale Mayer

SEALs of Honor Book 11
Dale Mayer
High seas terror, international intrigue… homegrown problems…
Rescuing hostages on a yacht is a fairly normal mission for Brett, one of the elite SEALs, but having one of those hostages be an ex-girlfriend and her kids — well that changes everything.
Particularly now that he knows she's single again.
Ceci had walked away from Brett and into another relationship as a way to heal. Only to end up as a widow raising two kids. She planned to stay single and secure, avoid all the heartbreak that relationships bring until she comes face to face with her rescuer…and realizes she's been fooling herself for years.
Unfortunately safe doesn't mean safe anymore as the situation goes from bad to worse and she realizes she might never get a chance to fix her mistake…
This book opens with a rescue, pirates had taken a private yacht off the coast of Africa.
It's during this rescue Brett gets a shock. The woman who broke his heart years ago is huddled with her two young children.
This is a favorite scene.
Using the blueprints he'd memorized, Brett moved quickly through the decks. As he cleared each floor he updated his team. He was set to meet Chase in four minutes, one deck up. As he arrived on the third floor he realized realized these smaller rooms were likely the crew's living quarters. He did a quick sweep through the bedrooms. The first three were empty and as he approached the fourth he heard a sound that made his heart freeze.
A child's cries of distress.
He went to open the door but found it locked from the inside. He tapped once and then tapped two more times. The door cracked opened and a terrified woman's face peered out. He brushed her backwards and slipped into the room out of sight. And he choked back a shocked gasp.
Two little children were wrapped around the woman's legs. He knew of them, but hadn't met either yet. And he knew exactly how old they were. The boy, Jimmy, was four and the girl, Jennifer, was almost two.
Their mother, Ceci, was on the outside edge of that huge extended family his mother had married into. And the only woman he'd ever loved.
In his night gear he knew she couldn't recognize him. And she had to be terrified of his weapons.
He held a finger up to his mouth and whispered, "It's okay, Ceci. It's me, Brett. You need to remain here with the children, and stay as quiet as you can be."
She gasped in shock then her face lit up in relief and joy.
He squatted down to the boy and said in a low voice, "Jimmy, you have to be very, very quiet until I come back here and help you, and your mom, and sister off the boat, okay?"
The little boy sniffled, his eyes huge, lower lip trembling. But he straightened up and nodded. Good. At a single rap on the door, Brett moved quickly and without another word, he slipped into the hallway where Chase waited for him. As they moved away Chase said, "Twelve hostiles are on the top floor above us. All hostages are with them."
"Machine guns and grenades, a few handguns. Nothing major."
Brett snorted. It said much about the type of work they did that those weapons weren't considered major.
Mayer, Dale. SEALs of Honor: Books 11-13 (p. 5). Valley Publishing Ltd.. Kindle Edition.
Now you'd think that would be enough excitement. However, it's only the beginning.
Once the yacht is secured, Ceci refuses to get back on. Because her purse was taken by the pirates she had no idea where her passports are. Waiting in the US Embassy in Somalia for the paperwork to go through is comfortable, but Ceci wants to be home.
Then all hell breaks loose as Brett is visiting. This is fortuitous since he's able to get Ceci and her children to safety. That safety is in the form of Bullock.
With there history, Brett is a bit leery but is undeniably still in love with her. Ceci on the other hand is confused yet she knows a confession is in order if they are going to be able to start again.
I love the way Dale incorporates the people from the different series into her stories. I love Dave and Bullock, and the rest of Brett's unit.
There is plenty of action, twists and turns and sizzle in this book as Brett and Ceci reconnect.

Interpretations or Interventions? Indian philosophy in the global cosmopolis.Christian Coseru - 2018 - In Purushottama Bilimoria (ed.), History of Indian philosophy. London & New York: Routledge. pp. 3–14.details
This introduction concerns the place that Indian philosophical literature should occupy in the history of philosophy, and the challenge of championing pre-modern modes of inquiry in an era when philosophy, at least in the anglophone world and its satellites, has in large measure become a highly specialized and technical discipline conceived on the model of the sciences. This challenge is particularly acute when philosophical figures and texts that are historically and culturally distant from us are engaged not only exegetically but (...) also with a view to recruiting their topics and arguments for contemporary philosophical debates.

Roy Tzohar, A Yogācāra Buddhist Theory of Metaphor. [REVIEW]Malcolm Keating - 2018 - Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews 201808.details
Indian philosophy has a history of sophisticated linguistic analysis (Pāṇini's grammar being the usual example), which includes theories of reference, polysemy, ellipsis, sentential unity, figurative language, and more. Roy Tzohar's A Yogācāra Buddhist Theory of Metaphor is a sustained argument for attending both to the intertextual nature of Indian philosophy and to the philosophical importance of topics such as metaphor and figurative language. Tzohar's central thesis is that Sthiramati, a fifth- or sixth-century CE Indian Buddhist thinker, has a theory of (...) metaphor ("metaphor" being Tzohar's preferred translation of the Sanskrit upacāra) which can be understood more broadly as a theory of meaning.

Metonymy and Metaphor as Verbal Postulation: The Epistemic Status of Non-Literal Speech in Indian Philosophy.Malcolm Keating - 2017 - Journal of World Philosophies 2 (1):67-80.details
In this paper, I examine Kumārila Bha ṭṭ a's account of figurative language in Tantravārttika 1.4.11-17, arguing that, for him, both metonymy and metaphor crucially involve verbal postulation, a knowledge-conducive cognitive process which draws connections between concepts without appeal to speaker intention, but through compositional and contextual elements. It is with the help of this cognitive process that we can come to have knowledge of what is meant by a sentence in context. In addition, the paper explores the relationship between (...) metonymy and metaphor, the extent to which putatively literal language involves metonymy, and the objective constraints for metaphorical interpretation.

(Close) the Door, the King (Is Going): The Development of Elliptical Resolution in Bhāṭṭa Mīmāṃsā.Malcolm Keating - 2017 - Journal of Indian Philosophy 45 (5):911-938.details
This paper examines three commentaries on the Śabdapariccheda in Kumārila Bhaṭṭa's Ślokavārttika, along with the the seventeenth century Bhāṭṭa Mīmāṃsā work, the Mānameyodaya. The focus is the Mīmāṃsā principle that only sentences communicate qualified meanings and Kumārila's discussion of a potential counter-example to this claim–single words which appear to communicate such content. I argue that there is some conflict among commentators over precisely what Kumārila describes with the phrase sāmarthyād anumeyetvād, although he is most likely describing ellipsis completion through arthāpatti. (...) The paper attempts both a cogent exegesis and philosophical evaluation of the Bhāṭṭa Mīmāṃsā view of ellipsis completion, arguing that there remain internal tensions in the account of ellipsis preferred by the Bhāṭṭa, tensions which are not entirely resolved even by the late date of the Mānameyodaya.

The Cow is to be Tied Up: Sort-Shifting in Classical Indian Philosophy.Keating Malcolm - 2013 - History of Philosophy Quarterly 30 (4):311-332.details
This paper undertakes textual exegesis and rational reconstruction of Mukula Bhaṭṭa's Abhidhā-vṛttta-mātṛkā, or "The Fundamentals of the Communicative Function." The treatise was written to refute Ānandavardhana's claim, made in the Dhvanyāloka, that there is a third "power" of words, vyañjanā (suggestion), beyond the two already accepted by traditional Indian philosophy: abhidhā (denotation) and lakṣaṇā(indication).1 I argue that the explanation of lakṣaṇā as presented in his text contains internal tensions, although it may still be a compelling response to Ānandavardhana.

Methods of Philosophical Inquiry in Upanishads.Desh Raj Sirswal - 2012 - International Journal of Multidisciplinary Educational Research 1 (2):57-62.details
Philosophy is a subject which does not concerned only to an expert or specialist. It appears that there is probably no human being who does not philosophise. Good philosophy expands one's imagination as some philosophy is close to us, whoever we are. Then of course some is further away, and some is further still, and some is very alien indeed. We raise questions about the assumptions, presuppositions, or definitions upon which a field of inquiry is based, and these questions can (...) be concerned with the meaning, significance, or integration of the results discovered or proposed by a field of inquiry. We find Karmic, Bhaktic and Jnanic interpretations of an ancient text in Indian philosophy because of different approaches adopted to inquire the text. This paper is an attempt to draw an outline of Upanishadic methods of inquiry in Indian philosophical tradition. Several methods like Enigmatic, Aphoristic, Etymological, Mythical, Analogical, Dialectical, Synthetic, Monologic, Temporising and Regressive methods etc. we can find in Upanishads. (shrink)

Prāsaṅgika's Semantic Nominalism: Reality is Linguistic Concept.Sonam Thakchoe - 2012 - Journal of Indian Philosophy 40 (4):427-452.details
Buddhist semantic realists assert that reality is always non-linguistic, beyond the domain of conceptual thought. Anything that is conceptual and linguistic, they maintain, cannot be reality and therefore cannot function as reality.The Pra¯san˙gika however rejects the realist theory and argues that all realities are purely linguistic—just names and concepts—and that only linguistic reality can have any causal function. This paper seeks to understand the Pra¯san˙gika's radical semantic nominalism and its philosophical justifications by comparing and contrasting it with the realistic semantic (...) theories. (shrink)
Lakṣaṇā as Inference.Nilanjan Das - 2011 - Journal of Indian Philosophy 39 (4-5):353-366.details
This paper questions a few assumptions of Gaṅgeśa Upādhyāya's theory of ordinary verbal cognition (laukika-śābdabodha). The meaning relation (vṛtti) is of two kinds: śakti (which gives us the primary referent of a word) and lakṣaṇā (which yields the secondary referent). For Gaṅgeśa, the ground (bīja) of lakṣaṇā is a sort of inexplicability (anupapatti) pertaining to the composition (anvaya) of word-meanings. In this connection, one notices that the case of lakṣaṇā is quite similar to that of one variety of postulation, namely, (...) śrutārtāthāpatti, where the subject hears only a part of a sentence and immediately grasps the words that are needed to render the sentential meaning complete. Unless he does that, sentential meaning, i.e., the composition (anvaya) of word-meanings shall suffer from the same inexplicability that characterizes instances of lakṣaṇā. In fact, in the 'Śaktivāda' section of Tattvacintāmaṇi, Gaṅgeśa himself draws a parallel between the cognition of sentential meaning in a śrutārthāpatti-like case and the cognition of sentential meaning in an instance of lakṣaṇā. However, Gaṇgesa himself treats Śrutārthāpatti as a piece of inferential cognition. If there is no fundamental difference between cases of śrutārthāpatti and cases of lakṣaṇā, then the cognition of sentential meaning in instances of lakṣaṇā must also be inferential in essence. In that case, we must admit, against Gaṅgeśa's view, that such cognition of sentential meaning cannot be accommodated within the framework of verbal cognition (śābdabodha). Therefore, I conclude that some revision is needed in Gaṅgeśa's theory of verbal cognition with respect to lakṣaṇā. (shrink)

A biophysical and biochemical perspective of Brahmajnaana will be advanced by viewing Upanishads and related books as "Texts of Science on human mind". A biological and cognitive science insight of Atman and Maya, the results of breathing process; constituting and responsible for human consciousness and mental functions will be developed. The Advaita and Dvaita phases of human mind, its cognitive and functional states will be discussed. These mental activities will be modeled as brain-wave modulation and demodulation processes. The energy-forms and (...) their transformations as ideas/moods/experiences/thoughts/feelings/utterances/knowing/perception/experience/mood; and a theory of human cognition and communication will be advanced. The sameness of these and processes taking place and steps involved in human language acquisition and communication processes will be highlighted taking ideas from Sabdabrahma Siddhanta and Sphota Vaada, for which the basis is Brahmajnaana only. In fine, a physiological psychological and neurological model of human consciousness and function of mind based on Indian spiritual thought will be derived and discussed using concepts from modern science and technology. The application of these derivations in the fields of physiological psychology, mind-machine modeling, natural language comprehension branch of artificial intelligence and neurology to model and imitate human mental functions will be hinted. -/- .
