Acronis, a global leader in hybrid cloud data protection and storage, and Williams Martini Racing Formula One team have announced a new technology partnership.
As part of the agreement, Acronis will deliver innovative data protection solutions, including backup, disaster recovery, software-defined storage and file sync and share.
Formula One is one of the world's most technologically advanced sports. Every grand prix weekend Formula One teams capture hundreds of gigabytes of telemetry data, and produce terabytes of engineering and test data at the factory.
Data analysis fuels innovation and technological development. The ability to interpret the data and make informed decisions is often what sets teams apart, making data the most valuable asset in the race toward the finish line.
Acronis' expertise in data protection will assist Williams to deal with the growing volumes of data without compromising the security and flexibility mandated by Formula One.
Through its partnership with Acronis, Williams will be able to access a full set of innovative data protection solutions.
Acronis also integrates a unique artificial intelligence-based active protection technology into Acronis Backup.
As new ransomware strains increasingly target backup files, Acronis' solution protects backups while adding another level of defence to the entire system.
"Technical innovation is at the heart of everything we do at Williams, and with that comes a crucial need to protect our data," said Williams Martini Racing deputy team principal Claire Williams.
"Acronis will protect Williams' on-premise and cloud service data with backup, disaster recovery, and secure file sync and share solutions.
"We are delighted to be partnering with Acronis whose values mirror our own to push technology and innovation.
"We look forward to them helping to deliver practical solutions throughout the coming season to support our racing efforts."
John Zanni, president of Acronis, added: "Acronis is at the leading edge of data protection technology and continuing to push.
"Speed, technology, innovation, and a never-give-up attitude are at the heart of our DNA and this is what unites us with Williams.
"Acronis' data protection solutions are perfectly suited for Williams' data-intensive environment. We're looking forward to a productive season together."

As you read the title, it's likely that you were reminded of the image of a younger child, whining to a parent about how something wasn't fair. Or maybe, you were reminded of the last time you thought something was extraordinarily unfair. Or, you might have been reminded of song lyrics, or the saying "Life isn't fair", or–maybe you didn't really think anything and just decided to start reading and find out what it meant. Well, it could be a lot of the above. You be reminded of our previous post on God's justice, but this post is firstly more in-depth (as you never would have guessed), and secondly uses more direct examples, explaining why exactly the things that happen are fair, or, at least, they are just. The "fairness" of the world has always been an issue for everyone, as humanity has strived to make life fair as possible (ahem–fair as humanly possible, being the core of the problem), and governments have been founded to promote justice. And what is the only thing that is truly fair and rightly just? I think you know.
The Lord has been bringing justice to the world as long as there has been a world. In saying that, there have been many cases which may leave many wondering how justice was served, or such a thing was right, and often those questions concern 1 of 2 scenarios: your life, or the lives of the Israelites (Don't worry–I plan on going over both).
As far as the Israelites go, it never seemed in the bible that they could stay faithful to God for longer than two politicians can go without shifting blame. But here's the thing: God forgave them. He constantly had to deal with the cycle of apostasy: the Israelites would fall away from God, then get into trouble, then call on God, then get rescued, then worship God, then fall away and start over again. In some cases, thankfully, it didn't always involve the Israelites' near desolation. There are a lot of examples, though, of God not only rebuking Israel, his people, but other nations. Many will point out that other nations' people, all of them, couldn't have all known about the God of Israel. The thing is, they didn't have to know.
Have you ever been punished for something that you didn't do? Or, especially, have you been punished as a group when you didn't do anything. I remember personally back in grade school, whenever I had a loud or talkative class, that the rewards would be taken from everyone, not just the main culprits of the greater noise. The teachers often even knew who the main motor-mouths were, but more often than not, they would punish all despite this. They didn't want to risk the group mentality. That's something like how God operated in that day and age. Nations like Babylon, Moab, or Ammon worshipped other gods and idols, but those surrounding Israel (note that due to Israel's central location, there were quite a few) knew about Israel's god. It's important that we realized these people, as a nation, rejected the one true God for others. The alternative?
Why? God had to keep his kingdom holy, and to preserve his name. When nations defied God and defiled his name in everything they could, competing for the sovereign kingdom, they were asking for it. The Lord had established his holy kingdom in Israel, which is why he had to keep the Israelites on their toes with specific rules and regulations. God had a relationship with the people only as whole, in a relatively impersonal way. With the relationship, he was glorified. Today, we glorify God on a personal level of acceptance, so that God has a relationship with each and every individual, so it isn't necessary to execute judgement on the scale of an entire nation. So, was it fair to punish nations outside of Israel, sometimes by killing thousands? It's slightly more complicated, perhaps, than we think but it was absolutely fair. If there was any doubt, it was decided by the ultimate and righteous judge, the Lord.
So Part 2 of all this our modern-day lives following the life of Christ: your life. Or–since I don't actually know anything about your life–we'll go with our lives. As I mentioned, we have a relationship with God today on a personal basis for his glorification. In laymen's terms, we can know God as a friend. The advantage to this is that judgement does seem a little bit more fair, because day-to-day we are personal held accountable for our own actions, instead of those of our nation or country.
Bad things happen to good people, right? Yes, but for specific reasons. This isn't an easy thing to accept, or even to live with–especially when we're the good, striving people who undergo difficulties. But things happen to people for reasons we don't understand, and the world's horrible things don't exist by God's preference in the first place.
So justice is served in our lives, making things truly right, because God just says so? Yes, but there's a little more to it. Things come together for those who follow God, as a huge part of the bible is used to tell us. Likewise, those who don't follow God, by choice, will be punished appropriately. Of course, this doesn't mean that will always be the case. In fact, it may never seem to be the case in your life.
We were destined for difficulty, and why wouldn't that be fair? Difficulty builds us up in faith (James 1:2-4). But now that we know all this, we have the responsibility to play our part in God's plan for justice.
And in the entire world, God is working through countless Christians, people of all ages, origins, and skill sets, occupations, knowledge, and everything else to get the word out, the good news, to all people. And, if one person from some ancient civilization was killed in innocence, or if a woman in a remote village today dies before ever hearing about Jesus, or a child dies in birth–who's to say, on Judgement Day, God won't give them a fair sentence? It is fair, whether we understand or not. We can trust the ruling the Lord gives everywhere on Earth or in Heaven. And better, God's ruling is just–of that we can be sure.
unanswered questions, and there are many things I didn't explain.
Luckily, we've probably explained that in another post.


Jon was responsive to communication and took good care of my puppy. Dax is definitely a handful and Jon was patient and kind.
I've been a devotes dog owner for the past 15 years, trying to make my dog's life as easy as it can be. I love dogs and will baby them (unless you tell me not to). Playing with dogs makes me very happy and isn't any trouble for me. I am very good at taking care of younger dogs but can also take care of seniors too. If there are special requirements for your dog, just let me know and I'll take care of it. I'm available all summer except a few weeks in July (otherwise I'm very flexible on dates and times). I'm a pre-vet student at Rutgers University so any extra experience with animals can only help me in determining my future goals.
I only need to know if your dog has any special needs or requirements. I'm pretty flexible so I can make accomodations on the fly.
Your dogs can expect walks through your neighborhood or playtime at the nearest dog park (if we have time). Anything your dog wants to do, I'll gladly do for them.

Secret Gardens of Amsterdam
Behind the centuries-old houses that front the city's iconic canals lie verdant spaces rarely seen by the public

In the Netherlands, flowers are an integral—even essential—part of daily life. Blanketed with seemingly endless fields of tulips and dotted with iconic windmills, the area is considered by many as the cut-flower capital of the world. Even during short, bleak winter days, when winds howl off the North Sea, locals plan spring gardens. This is especially true in the old residential part of Amsterdam, which rises like a stage set along the ring of canals more than 400 years old.
Here, hundreds of flower-bedecked bridges crisscross canals and quays lined with soaring, gabled houses standing shoulder-to-shoulder like battalions of soldiers in parade mode. The narrow buildings testify to the 17th-century application of hefty taxes on a house's width versus its height during Amsterdam's prosperous Golden Age.
In this bird's-eye view, one sees the full effect of Amsterdam's rigorous city planning with distinct architecture and well-tended gardens that spill out behind the houses. Some classic examples take cues from French designs with decorative sculpture, water features, and seating areas. Photo by Cris Toala Olivares
Consequently, their long, outdoor spaces that stretch from canal to canal conform to the width of each house, but, like secret gardens, are tucked away from sight. No matter the size, these enclosed plots, which often terminate with a garden house in the back, are so beloved that nothing is spared in their cultivation. The earliest were useful gardens that grew vegetables and herbs; then they became ornamental pleasure gardens copied from French and English designs. Today, each reigns as a monumental triumph on a minimal piece of land that shows how horticultural magic is possible in a small space.
Those longing for a peek should schedule a visit during the third weekend in June, when each year Museum van Loon orchestrates Open Garden Days, and more than 25 canal gardens welcome visitors to tour Dutch oases usually hidden from view.
One of the most outstanding interpretations of formal French garden style unfolds behind an imposing 1680s residence on the Herengracht (also called the Gentlemen's Canal), considered to be the most prestigious canal in the city. Owned by television producers Jan L.M. Meulendijks and Bart Schuil, the famous house was built by Hendrick Staets, a merchant involved in the slave trade. "When we acquired the property 20 years ago, the backyard was only grass," says Schuil, "so we hired landscape designer Robert Broekema to re-create an 18th-century French garden that was here when Staets lived in the house."
Often described as one of the most important canal house gardens in the city, this pristine oasis is a study in horticultural balance and symmetry.
The grounds brim with tulips, daffodils, and violas in the spring before being replanted with summer blooms.
Benefiting from the extra space of a double lot that measures 49 feet by 98 feet, Broekema credits the symmetry of the rear façade as his inspiration. "An axis runs from the house into the garden, and culminates in the garden house," he says.
Large trees such as this copper beech are protected and cannot be removed.
With strong lines of taxus and boxwood hedges, the pristine, three-room garden resembles a mini Versailles, and begins near the house with the original, restored, star-encrusted pavement of red and yellow IJssel stones, deeply scented roses, and pots brimming with geraniums and lobelias.
Next, the main room of four parterres features a circular lily pond with a bronze figure of baby Hercules. Round buxus balls accentuate the pond's shape; shell paths reinforce the width and lead to wooden benches, while taxus hedges enclose roses, impatiens, and hollies. The last room ends at the garden house, which is used for storage, while a huge, 125-year-old copper beech tree provides a canopy over shade-loving plants such as hostas and hydrangeas.
This garden reflects the light touch and contemporary sensibilities of its owners, Hans Kos and Rutger Brandt. Evolving from the rear of their early 17th-century house, "it mocks totally formal gardens," says Brandt, director and owner of Galerie Mokum, a local realist art gallery, and Galerie Brandt, which specializes in contemporary art.
Whether admiring views from the second-floor living room, strolling curved paths, or entertaining in the sleek garden house, it is the owners' private and amusing Valhalla.
The owners of this garden adore its insouciant flair and woodsy feel, and like to underscore its contemporary vernacular.
Reached by industrial steel stairs that clang with every footstep, the garden abounds with tongue-in-cheek art and sculpture that peeks out from rocks and leafy corners.
A sculpture by Saskia Pfaeltzer sits beside a large Fatsia japonica.
Explaining the three sections, Brandt says, "The first is recreational with a dining table close to the house; the second is loosely structured; and the third is the English landscape with wild ferns and water." Kos likes to point out the large plant, Fatsia japonica, that dominates the sculpture by Saskia Pfaeltzer of a seated woman.
Farther along the curvy paths, the sight of giant goldfish and salamanders and the sound of croaking frogs accompany every stroll through the landscape rife with climbing white hydrangeas, big-leafed acanthus, and varieties of ferns. Interspersed among this almost woodsy setting, aromatic roses, lavender, and azaleas add bursts of color, while rhododendrons and oversized hostas conjure up thoughts of an enchanted forest.
"The one-story garden house was constructed in 1996 on the foundation of an old warehouse," says Brandt. "After World War II we needed to rebuild the country, and Holland seriously went to work. So here a little railroad carried heavy bales of cloth from the warehouse."
The one-story garden house was constructed in 1996 on the foundation of an old warehouse.
Today the sleek, rectangular, steel-and-glass building with a copper door effectively finishes the garden, and doubles as a light-infused guesthouse and favorite spot for entertaining.
In contrast to the majority of canal house gardens, a dramatic 21-year-old garden on the Keizersgracht (also known as the Emperor's Canal) is a communal space that reflects the dedication and hard work of multiple families who live in separate apartments in the building.
Arabic patterns and figures influenced landscape architect Michael van Gessel's dramatic swirling taxus designs.
Maarten and Rietje van der Grinten, residents who oversee the garden's planning and maintenance, feel lucky to be entrusted with its care. "Like many of the bigger canal houses, this was one split up into five flats," says Rietje, "so there are ten hands working in our garden. It is so much fun to share the tasks and then enjoy the beautiful results."
Explaining that the original garden was planted more than 400 years ago, Maarten says there wasn't much left when they arrived 25 years ago. "There was a little bit of grass; we had rabbits and chickens, a swing set, and sandbox," he says. "Our children played ball here with the schoolchildren from next door who came through a tunnel under the wall."
The garden features high, living walls of rambling white roses, climbing hydrangeas, and Virginia creeper that turns red in the fall.
Several stately urns surround the pond.
Gradually the van der Grintens exchanged their "play yard" for a flower garden with the overarching goal of easy maintenance, and they hired renowned Dutch landscape architect Michael van Gessel. "We wanted annuals and perennials and hoped it could be green in the winter," says Rietje. "Although we didn't imagine a formal garden, van Gessel was influenced by Arabic patterns and figures, and that is how the dramatic swirling taxus designs evolved. He suggested an airy white and yellow scheme, because yellow signifies life."
A first glance perhaps dispels the notion of easy maintenance as the central bed's lyrical Arabic shapes coexist with seasonal blooms such as tulips, narcissus, coreopsis, white phlox, and autumn anemones. Just below the main building is an herb garden, and at the back, a fountain, lily pond, and an 18th-century folly complete the inviting vignette.

Q: MySQL How can I make a better query to connect two tables through my bridge table? I have these tables:
words:
+----+------+
| ID | DATA |
+----+------+
|  1 | jo   |
|  2 | yes  |
|  3 | jupp |
|  4 | yeah |
|  5 | jepp |
|  6 | joah |
|  7 | ne   |
|  8 | nee  |
|  9 | no   |
| 10 | nope |
| 11 | nah  |
+----+------+

statements:
+----+------+
| ID | DATA |
+----+------+
|  1 | ja   |
|  2 | nein |
+----+------+

and a bridge table that connects the words from table "words" with the DATA from table "statements":
bridge:
+--------------+---------+
| ID_statement | ID_word |
+--------------+---------+
|            1 |       1 |
|            1 |       2 |
|            1 |       3 |
|            1 |       4 |
|            1 |       6 |
|            2 |       8 |
|            2 |       9 |
+--------------+---------+

I wanted to get a SELECT QUERY to get all words associated with the statement "ja".
this query does the job, but seems more complicated than it should be:
SELECT words.DATA FROM words
 JOIN bridge ON words.ID = bridge.ID_word
 JOIN statements ON statements.ID = bridge.ID_statement
 WHERE statements.ID = (
 SELECT ID FROM statements WHERE statements.DATA = "ja"
 );

Intuition tells me that I am doing that far to comlicated, but I can't figure out where the complication lies.
awkward.

A: I like to name the primary keys the same as the columns that reference them. So in your example, in the words table, you'd name the primary key ID_word. In the statements table, you'd name the primary key ID_statement.
The advantage is that you can make your SQL join a little more concise with the USING(...) syntax. This syntax assumes there's a column by that name in both tables of a join, and you want the join to match where the column is equal to the same column in the other table.
SELECT words.DATA FROM words
 JOIN bridge USING (ID_word)
 JOIN statements USING (ID_statement)
 WHERE statements.DATA = 'ja';

Also you don't need to run a subquery in your example. The rows in statement matching the IDs from the rows in statement where DATA='ja' are the same set as the rows in statement where DATA='ja'.

how would one describe the relationship here? one-to-many?

The relationship modeled by a bridge table is a many-to-many relationship. The specific data in your example doesn't show it, but it's possible that many different statements could reference the same word. What you do show is that each statement can reference many words.

Why Synergy Resources Corp. Shares Vaulted Higher
Synergy Resources updates its mid-year proved reserves and investors cheer. Find out if its proved reserves merit this spike higher.
Energy, Materials, and Utilities
Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of Synergy Resources (NYSEMKT:SYRG), an oil and gas exploration and production company focused in the Denver-Julesburg Basin, spiked 10% after announcing its mid-year proved reserve update.
So what: According to its press release, Synergy Resources' proved reserves increased 43% to 19.7 million barrels of oil equivalent from 13.8 million BOE as of August 31, 2013. The PV10 value of these reserves also increased from $236 million to $326 million. CEO William Scaff attributed the huge increase in proved reserves to the company's successful horizontal drilling program, which currently sports 11 wells. Scaff announced that the company plans to drill an additional 20 to 25 horizontal wells before its fiscal year ends on Aug. 31.
Now what: Anytime we see an exploration and production company increase its proved reserves by 43% it's going to be a good day for shareholders. Given its success through just 11 wells it makes Wall Street estimates, which call for greater than 100% revenue growth in each of the next two years, quite achievable, Of course, investors should keep in mind that oil price fluctuations and higher-than-expected costs aren't uncommon when drilling this many new wells, so they should prepare for a possible volatile ride as well. However, based on what I've seen thus far Synergy Resources' future looks bright.

My top place where you can always find matching mommy and daughter outfits is at Lilly Pulitzer. They have an extensive section for mommy and me matching dresses making it extremely easy to shop. The fabric for the kids clothes is always soft and comfortable. That's high priority for my daughter and me too because she won't wear anything uncomfortable. She hates the feel of a crisp white button-down type cotton fabric. She won't wear anything she feels uncomfortable in. When I buy dresses at Lilly Pulitzer, I usually buy the matching stretch pants for her too. This way she can wear them together and separately, depending on her mood. I like giving my daughter options.
My second favorite place to buy mommy and me matching outfits is from Old Navy. They have an amazing selection of matching prints. Almost everything in the store has a matching look. I like that you can get multiple pieces in a print to match. The palm print is from a few seasons ago and I was able to get shorts, pants, 2 tops and a dress in it for my daughter. For me, I got a top and a jumpsuit (you can see more pics of this look here). I even think there were matching bathing suits! How fun would that be for summer? If you find a print you like at Old Navy, you'll probably be able to get a piece your daughter likes to match. The best selection is online and every runs pretty true to size.
The funky preppy ladylike style of Kate Spade can be styled as mommy and me look. They have baby, toddler, and girls style with some matching mommy looks. I would start with the kids look you like and then work your way into the women's section with keywords from the kid's area of Kate Spade. Right now, the matching prints of choice at the moment from Kate Spade are Blooming Prints and Hot Rod Print. They are even showing the mixing of these prints which works too! Looking for current mother daughter matching dresses from Kate Spade, check out my Mommy and Me Clothing Shop that I update as I find new matching looks.
Milly is all about bold contemporary fashion. The tailoring is impeccable with a luxurious and retro-modern feel that looks great on both kids and moms. They have prints and solids that look amazing for mommy and me. If you have a special event where you are looking for mother daughter matching dresses or seperates, Milly is a perfect choice. I would definitely splurge on a Mommy and Me Matching look from Milly if I had a wedding to go to with my daughter.

It's old, it's odd, it's quirky, it's a stone's throw from Disneyland and fits in perfectly with its surroundings. Angel Stadium is definitely one of the most interesting ballparks I have had the pleasure to visit. I was not expecting this of an older park stuck in the middle of a parking lot in Orange County.
I will always be sad that there was no way to salvage Shea Stadium; I look at what was done to Angel Stadium and sigh. They created additional space by fencing a perimeter around the ballpark, which allowed for outdoor plazas and entrance areas, filled with palm trees, picnic tables and concessions. One of the drawbacks of the older stadium, of course, is that the concourses on the field level are blocked from the field; you have to go up to the 200's to be able to walk around the park. In many ways it reminded me of Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, which is a ballpark I happen to love – but it didn't remind me of the best parts of Kauffman. Angel Stadium reminded me of the industrial cinderblock part of that ballpark. Again, tradeoffs.
That said, there was a definite effort to enliven the concourses with decals and images of Angels players on every column, so you knew where you were as you walked around.
The other thing everyone knows about Angel Stadium is the water feature in center field. It's different to walk into the park and see it for the first time; it won't be that straight-on angle you would have seen on television. It always used to remind me of a lion habitat at any zoo; after spending a couple of hours with it, it started to remind me of the fake rocks from Star Trek. I actively disliked the advertising out there; I know the batter's eye is on the other side of the water feature, but I felt like it was taking things a little too far. I am not sure how well it would age with me as a fan. Maybe at some point you just stop seeing it.
I was not overly impressed with the scoreboards, but that could have been my vantage point. We were sitting about 10 rows behind the visitor's dugout on the first base side, so the scoreboard we used the most was the one in left field. Information like pitch count and speed took some time to track down, and the out-of-town scoreboard was a disaster, as it switched to animated spinning logos between innings, which would be the time during which most fans would be looking to the out-of-town scoreboard. A big fail there. I was also surprised that the only team representation was the dimly lit A on top of the left field scoreboard. There were a lot of ads, but they were limited to white text or two-tone at most, a la Fenway, which makes them less obnoxious.
There are split-level bullpens located in left field; however, there is no indicator as to who is warming up at any particular time. On the other hand, we could have missed it, given the scattered placements of critical game information.
The gentleman seated next to me came back to his seat during the game carrying this delicacy, which he said was called "The Skeeter" (but I hope Angels fans can assist in this regard).
There were a lot of different things to eat, and it was easy to find them. I appreciated that greatly.
The music was below-average in terms of originality and quality. The lineup is introduced over the intro to "Spirit In The Sky," which I thought was hysterical. The "let's get psyched" video was over a song by the detestable Train called "Calling All Angels" which was at least appropriate. The song in the stretch after "Take Me Out To The Ballgame" was "Build Me Up Buttercup". While I have no issues with the use of Motown generally, it just seemed kind of random here in Southern California. Surely there was something thematic or that could have been chosen. Or perhaps there is a tradition around the song which I am not acquainted with.
Fans show up in shirts and jerseys and the ballpark was more than respectably full on a Thursday night. It was hard to gauge fan IQ because we were sitting next to Mariners fans, and in front of two guys who had just moved to the area from North Carolina. People appeared to be paying attention, although they have very little disregard for limiting their movements to inbetween innings or at-bats (despite signage politely asking them to do so).
All in all, I found it a fun, comfortable, interesting place to see a ballgame. I would rank it above, say, Nationals Park (believe it or not) because I thought it had far more personality. Of course, all bets are off when the trip is over and I have to redo all of the rankings over again.
I think you gave a fair rating of the park and your obsevations were right on. The song in the 7th inning is a puzzle to many of us as well (I even blogged about it during the off season).
For what it is – a refurbished stadium, it's not bad.
Sorry I missed you at the park… I'm glad your overall experience was positive.
It's too bad you didn't get to experience the Rally Monkey and all the things related to him. Then again, he only comes out late in games when the Angels a are trailing – so it was a good thing for us Angel fans.


The Bachelor Australia has only just premiered and Vanessa Sunshine has already gained the title of the show's villain for 2018.
With remarks like "This is The Bachelor, not make new girlfriends" and flat out revealing that she was "not thrilled" when she found out that Nick Cummins was the bachelor, it's no surprise that the 27-year-old taken the mean girl tile.
But the legal secretary from Melbourne makes it clear to WHO that she isn't there to make friends, saying the other girls might have issues with her "brutal honesty expressed through [her] facial expressions."
But the drama doesn't stop at night one. WHO can reveal the fighting and backstabbing will only intensify as the women compete or Nick's love, and it all begins during a photo shoot.

Alcohol and Drug Dependence Is Not a Mental Illness or Behavioral Disorder
Policy Position Paper #4 Alcohol and Drug Problems Association of North America
Alcohol and other drug dependence is a primary, chronic, progressive and potentially fatal disease. Its effects are systemic, predictable and unique. Without intervention and treatment, the disease runs an inexorable course marked by progressive crippling of mental, physical, and spiritual functioning with a devastating impact on all sectors of life- social, family, financial, vocational, educational, moral/spiritual, and legal.
Drug Addiction is a complex illness. It is characterized by compulsive, at times uncontrollable, drug craving, seeking, and use that persist even in the face of extremely negative consequences. For many people, drug addiction becomes chronic, with relapse possible even after long periods of abstinence.(1)
Alcohol and drug addiction is successfully treatable, and in the domain of public health, subject to prevention measures. Alcohol and drug dependence is not a mental illness or a behavioral health problem. It is a primary disease entity distinct from mental disorders. It should not be trivialized as a behavioral problem arising from personality disorders.
A substantial body of longitudinal studies on the psychological conditions of alcohol and drug dependent people have found that prior to developing alcohol and drug problems the subjects were no more likely to have mental disorders then the general population. (2)
Addictive use of alcohol and other drugs can cause temporary psychological and emotional problems. These problems are the result not the cause of the alcohol and other drug dependence. Mood swings, depression, and other psychological conditions are presented by alcohol and drug dependent people in the throes of their disease, and may become acute in the early withdrawal phase.
These conditions tend to be transitory in nature and are alleviated by a comprehensive abstinence-based regimen of recovery. The scientific literature fails to demonstrate the existence of an "alcoholic" or "addictive" personality in place prior to the onset of alcohol and other drug dependence. (3) A recently reported longitudinal study of 276 individuals entering substance abuse treatment found that, "Subjects recovering from an alcohol use disorder were 16.7 times more likely to recover from their mood/anxiety disorder than subjects who did not recover from their alcohol use disorder. Those recovering from an opioid use disorder were 4.3 times more likely to recover from a mood disorder than subjects who did not recover from an opioid use disorder." (4) People with pre-existing mental conditions can become alcohol and drug dependent. In these cases, alcohol and other drugs can seriously exacerbate the mental disorders, and conversely, the mental problems can accelerate the progression of the alcohol and drug dependency and impede recovery. This "dually diagnosed" population, those with co-occurring mental disorders and alcohol/drug dependency, is receiving increased attention, and efforts are under way to establish systems offering appropriate treatment for both conditions. (5) Programs for the dually diagnosed require staff trained in both disciplines. Moreover, alcohol and drug dependency in this context is not treated as a symptom of a mental disorder or a secondary psychiatric diagnosis. (6)
The etiology of alcohol and other drug dependence is complex and not yet fully understood. Research increasingly points to biochemical abnormalities in the brain, and other physiological factors, strongly influenced by genetics. (7) Although many mental disorders may have similar origins, alcohol and drug dependency progresses on an independent course to its chronic stages characterized by increasingly destructive use of alcohol and other drugs, which in turn can cause new imbalances in brain chemistry. Unlike mental disorders and most other diseases, the progression stops and remission is achieved by the act of abstention-withdrawing from addicting intoxicating agents. It is the commitment to abstinence that is the unique measure of treatment for alcohol and drug dependence.
Alcohol and other drug dependency is cloaked in a stubborn and perverse stigma that in its worst form rejects even the concept that it is a disease. Rather, it is sometimes portrayed as "willful misconduct," or the result of defective morals, flawed personalities or weak wills. (8) The stigma attached to illegal drug addiction adds the sinister dimensions of criminality and the entailing social opprobrium. Some aspects of the stigma have been perpetuated by theories and practices that attack the disease concept and maintain that alcoholics can be taught to moderate their drinking. Use of alcohol and other drugs by alcoholics and addicts is portrayed as a matter of personal choice, ignoring the powerful dynamics of addiction. The stigma has the effect of blaming the victims for their disease, and as such works as a barrier to treatment and an impediment to recovery. Additionally, the stigma induced shame interferes with the dependent person and their families ability to engage and succeed in treatment.
The view that alcohol and other drug dependence is a symptom of mental or behavioral disorders contributes to the stigma by promoting the perception that it is not a disease or public health problem in its own right.
Treatment regimens unique to addictions have been developed and refined over the past 50 years. Most models incorporate detoxification, treatment for medical consequences of use, comprehensive assessment, motivational counseling, education about the nature of the disease, family treatment, and group treatment, the core therapeutic vehicle for the recovering addict, Overcoming denial, surrender and readiness to change are treatment goals. Abstinence from alcohol and other addictive drugs is the sine quo non of post treatment success, with after-care focusing on relapse prevention and participation in 12-step and other self-help programs. Recovering alcoholics and addicts participate in the treatment process. As counselors, they are certified on the state and national levels through credentialing mechanisms developed over the past 25 years. The addictions field also pioneered the use of intervention techniques to speed entry into treatment.
The addiction model of treatment differs significantly from the traditional psychiatric model from the defining of the condition to the treatment goal itself. The table below highlights these differences.
The failure of professionals to recognize the distinctive nature of alcohol and other drug dependence has been a continuing concern of the Alcohol and Drug Problems Association. It leads to the misdiagnosis of patients and treatment in a mental health setting that is not only inappropriate but also potentially harmful. Psychotherapeutic methods that fail to underscore abstinence can delay recovery and potentially result in death.
Professionals in the addictions field believe in the need for clinical separation of their clients from traditional mental health models through the establishment of categorical programs focusing on alcoholism and drug dependence. Before the launching of the Federal alcoholism and drug abuse programs in the early 1970's, the success of these efforts was limited. Hobbled by sparse public funding and limited third-party reimbursement, a relatively small number of programs offered treatment and rehabilitation to alcoholics and drug dependent people. In the absence of alternatives, alcoholics and drug addicts were admitted to psychiatric wards in state and veterans hospitals for the mentally ill.
The inception of the Federal alcoholism and drug abuse effort, with enactment of legislation by former Sen. Harold Hughes (D-IA), transformed the field with the rich infusion of grant funds for research and for the treatment of alcoholism and drug dependence through categorical programs. The establishment of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism and the National Institute on Drug Abuse inaugurated a period of rapid proliferation of publicly funded programs and, with expanding insurance coverage for chemical dependency treatment, a vigorous private sector. A new body of treatment professionals arose, trained in the specifics of alcoholism and other drug abuse and dependence. For the first time in history, treatment became accessible to millions of alcoholics and drug addicts.
The Alcohol and Drug Problems Association believes that at present there is a new urgency for the need to safeguard the separate identity of treatment for alcohol and other drug dependence. Short-sighted economics inflicted by managed care practices have decimated the private treatment sector; many residential programs have had to close their doors; while others have been consolidated with mental health units. And purchasers of chemical dependency treatment services for the public sector, including Medicaid, and state, county and local agencies, are increasingly moving to the managed health environment, (ADPA Position Paper # 1). As result of shifting political priorities, publicly supported treatment systems in many states are under funded and unable to fill the treatment vacuum left by retrenchments in the private sector.
Most ominously, behind the drive to cut back on treatment for alcohol and drug dependence, is the unfounded proposition that treatment is ineffective, and if any is provided, it should be in the least costly setting. Yet study after study concludes there are positive results from treatment. (9)
Issue Traditional Psychiatric Model Addiction Model
Definition of addiction Symptoms of underlying psychiatric disorder Primary disorder in its own right
Treatment approach Treatment underlying disorder Treatment addiction directly
Referral once addiction discovered To medical model program To primary non-medical model including self-help groups
Attitude toward alcohol use and other drugs Individualized, permissive Absolutely against use, confrontive, total abstinence
Party primarily responsible for treatment The professional The patient
Role of trust Important from early stages Usually not attainable for months or longer
Admission criteria Usually open Usually selective
Role of psychoactive medication Necessary for some underlying disorders; can be transitional substitute for alcohol Limited to detoxification and deterrence (eg., disulfiram); further use may reinforce substance abuse
Role of family in treatment Variable Usually routine
Role of self-help groups Variable, viewed as Superficial Usually encouraged or required
Third-party involvement (eg., legal, employer) Viewed as intrusive Often arranged to aid treatment
Surveillance for compliance Shunned, violates trust Monitoring of disulfiarm, Breathalyzer checks for drinking, urinalysis checks for other drugs, often arranged
Coercion (eg., legal) Last resort, interpreted as sign of failure Frequently seen as useful
Treatment goals ° Cure (acute disorder), maintenance (Chronic disorder) Rehabilitation, implying long- term work to maintain gains long-term work to maintain gains
Another development with threatening implications for the integrity of alcohol and drug dependency treatment has been a debasement of the diagnostic terminology. The term, "disease" has given way to the "disorder" of psychiatric coinage, and drug dependence is being placed under the crowded tent of "behavioral health."
Behaviorists try to teach "responsible drinking," with the unmistakable connotation that addictive drinking is "irresponsible." "Harm reduction" is used as a guise for programs that give up on the need for abstinence. The shifting lexicon serves to blur the very substantial differences between alcohol and other drug dependence, and mental/behavioral problems.
ADPA's paramount concern is the welfare of the suffering alcoholics and addicts in need of appropriate treatment by trained professionals and in chemical dependency programs geared specifically to address their primary diagnosis. Only these models, with proven track records, can offer hope of recovery and a life free from the consequences of alcoholism and drug dependence.
ADPA believes that public policy advocacy must be redoubled to preserve the integrity of treatment for alcohol and other drug dependence.
Of immediate concern is slippage at the state and local government levels where alcohol and drug dependency is at increasing risk of losing its bureaucratic visibility. When units with responsibility for alcohol and drug treatment programs are subsumed in low echelons under mental health, social services, or other departments, the focal point for advocacy is weakened or lost. The constituency of professionals and volunteers who serve as advocates for the alcohol and drug dependent are in danger of fragmentation.
Agencies charged specifically with programs for alcohol and drug dependency should have their discrete offices for training, communications, budgets, and other public policy functions. Alcohol and drug specialists need to be in a position to influence funding, programmatic, and personnel standards. Because of the pervasive nature of alcohol and other drug dependence, the agency, wherever it is located, must be able to impact policy across a wide range of health and human needs in the domain of departments staffed by personnel not trained to identify the problem. At the local level, where the bureaucratic structure tends to mirror that of the state, there is a critical need to retain control of clinical supervision, case decisions, and treatment protocols.
The Alcohol and Drug Problems Association believes that alcohol and drug dependence is a public health problem of major proportions costing society tens of billions of dollars in economic production, law enforcement, social services, health care and other areas. It exacts a terrible toll in terms of shattered lives of suffering alcoholics and addicts and their families. As such, when government at any level addresses alcohol and drug dependence, responsibility should be assigned to an agency of the highest visibility and independence where aggressive efforts can be mounted commensurate with the enormous dimensions of the problem. This was the inspired purpose of the Hughes Act programs 25-30 years ago, providing access to recovery for millions of alcoholics and addicts. A rededication to the spirit that moved those times may be needed to reestablish the powerful prevention and treatment impact from such organizational arrangements.

The Executive Summary states the following: "Estimates suggest that up to 10 million people in this country have a combination of at least one co-occurring mental health and substance-related disorder in any given year. There is no single locus of responsibility for people with co-occurring disorders. The mental health and substance abuse treatment systems operate independently of one another, as separate cultures, each with its own treatment philosophies, administrative structures and funding mechanisms. This lack of coordination means that neither consumers nor providers move easily among service settings."

Ciararnicoli, Ed-Ph-D., Bantam Books 2000, summarizes this research and offers the following definition of alcoholism: "Alcoholism is a progressive neurological disease strongly influenced by genetic vulnerability. Inherited or acquired abnormalities in brain chemistry create an altered response to alcohol which in turn causes a wide array of physical, psychological, and behavioral problems. Although environmental and social factors will influence the progression and expression of the disease, they are not in any sense causes of addictive drinking. Alcoholism is caused by biochemical/neuropsychological abnormalities that are passed down from one generation to the next or, in some cases, acquired through heavy or prolonged drinking."
8. In April 1998, the Supreme Court, in a case brought by two veterans seeking disability benefits for alcoholism from the Department of Veterans Affairs, ruled that alcoholism was the result of "willful misconduct." The decision cited a "substantial body" of literature contesting the concept that alcoholism is a disease "much less a disease for which the victim bears no responsibility." The DVA recognizes alcoholism as a disability only when there is a primary psychiatric diagnosis.

"there are no mechanisms in place to get it back"
The same is true of cash.
Not only true of cash. The same is true of the magical electronic GBP in our accounts.
When someone gets scammed or stolen from *that* money isn't recovered, the banks pays you back and has insurance for this sort of thing.
They haven't recovered the fund stolen, they've replaced them. That's different.
Users of GBP, a regulated currency, lost nearly £1bn without recovery in 2017.

Traditionally I was a Burrokeets girl, Sundays and Mondays I dedicated to them, but after dancing with them for over 20 years it was time for a change. It's a big wide carnival world and I wanted to see what else was out there. There is always a first time for everything and for this year I decided to try something different. I had the jab jab fever from my trip to Grenada, Barbados had also embraced it and so I just wanted just jab.
I knew little about Island Mas but my research saw it's Jab promotion and I was hooked. Our whatapp forum was also buzzing with carnival fever in August and what bands we were each jumping with. So many quoted Island Mas jouvert also, so it seemed like the band to jump with..So just knowing just a few people I signed up! As always, a costume or tshirt collection for Nottinghill seems such an arduous and complicated task for mas bands. It needs to be easier and more fluid with a place to chill and lime if waiting. In essence, as a reveller, what I am trying to say is please get it together mas bands. Tis not difficult.
On the road was a different matter. We rolled up early and surprised to see some friends who I didn't know where jumping. However, with little time to go on the road, we all go ready and had to essentially get "oiled up" for the road. There was no way you were going on the road with Island Mas "Jab Jab", clean. You could not avoid the oil if you wanted to. It was there, in plenty, with people waiting to oil up clean people. You actually felt you were not part of the band unless you were dutty!
The day started off wet and cold but once we hit the road, all vibes changed, the weather improved, the air filled with the sweet soca vibes and we went effortlessly along, chipping to the sweet soca tunes. I can't fault playing with Island Mas, they played the jab theme all day, Grenadian soca dominated the sounds, but the DJ's mixed up the tunes nicely! The drinks were also in plenty, we had the essential stock of alcohol, soft drinks and water handed out whenever we requested. The food, I had to say was average. Does any band get it right in London? As I said it was neither poor nor great, it was given and we ate gratefully.
Island mas on the road is not for the lazy. We rocked the road, we wuked up, feted and repped. I missed meeting with friends, I got drunk and can't even remember elements of time on the road. Parts are missing – so blame de rum and the "Jab Jab" fever for the short blog. However, Island Mas was a joy to be part of and had the one of the best times in a long time for a Sunday carnival. I also do not think I heard one bad comment about Island Mas and I will be playing with them again for NHC 2017 Sunday Mas.
I am not sure why I was drawn to Island Mas, but here I am, I am here to stay. Island Mas, I got you. Thank you in advance for my time on the de road!
Anyone else enjoy their experience with this band as much as I did?
Some pics of our Sunday Mas "Jab Jab" experience with Island Mas!

Tony, what does the BB weigh?
I have an old Roland BC60 and I swear it's made of concrete. I'm replacing it with something SS and it's a Session amp, a new BC, Boss Katana or a DV Mark Micro 50.
Tony I can't speak for the DV Mark or the Katana, having yet to try these. Despite modern manufacturing techniques, I am convinced one needs to try individual amps for some time before committing. I tested a Blues Cube Stage in a retailer's booth and was underwhelmed. It seemed relatively flimsy (compared with a Cube GX) at the time and the sound did not greatly impress me - definitely solid state thin. But I suspect that was perhaps just a one off. Certainly no match for the BluesBaby which I already had. The BluesBaby is a great amp. Likewise the BC Hot which I have also subsequently bought. I have no idea why I preferred the BB Hot to the more powerful Stage but it struck me as more substantial in build quality and testing under the same conditions sounded great. Perhaps my ears were having an off day with the Stage! The BB offers superb Brit grit whereas the BC Hot seems much more "Fendery" as one might expect. If anything lets down the Award-Session amps it is perhaps the cosmetic finish - they always look a little homespun but that is a very minor issue, especially if you are buying just the amp chassis.
That's an interesting comparison. Thanks!
It sort of confirms what I've been hearing on Youtube. I was calling what I heard from BB "bolder" than the BC sounds. Of course, both do have tone controls and other possibilities for shaping the sound and response.
I could easily try a BC or two in local shops. Little chance of that with BB.
Best to get best of both worlds ! the BB chassis is around £200 and easy to fit in a Blues Jnr cab or similar. I suspect BB and Cube Hot would run very well as a pair and that would overcome the main shortcoming of directionality with small cabs when gigging. Alternatively, they both have line outs if you are averse to micing up.
Back to the BB45... I understand that certain speakers, such as the Classic Lead 80, won't fit in the 45-watt version of the BluesBaby. Presumably this is because of lack of clearance between a chassis component and the larger speaker magnet. Now in the BJr cabinet of which the BB's is a direct copy, the speaker is offset in the baffle. Would it not be possible to reverse the baffle to have the speaker offset the other way, or even to mount it centrally? The CL80, with its greater efficiency, would be my preferred option, or even the similarly-configured G12K-100, which I have and love in another amp.
Problem with the BB is that, unlike the Roland's, the line out is not speaker-emulated or frequency-compensated. It's designed to feed the signal into the power stage of another guitar amp, so slaving it directly into the PA wouldn't work well, due to all the high frequencies that the internal speaker(s) would filter out naturally. Stewart's aware of this and recommends straightforward miking up if necessary.
BB chassis is a rectangular box - so moving the speaker sideways would not affect clearance.
There's separate speaker emulator boxes, I think, but that would mean cost and more separate items to keep organized.
Tony, too many years ago I had a silverface Princeton Reverb, which was a lovely amp but I deemed it not quite gig worthy and used to play it through its internal speaker whilst slaving the preamp signal from the low level input direct to the PA. Knew now't about speaker emulation in those days, but it worked. In accordance with Stewart, I have yet to meet a sound engineer who didn't prefer mic'ing up but that creates still more variables!
I have just purchased a pre-owned BB22. As I did not like the tone range of the Vtype speaker (too straight/cold for my ears) I shall try 3 speakers for a test: a Celestion G12L-40, a Jensen C12N and a Harma/Tayden G12 classic ruby.
I have a Eminence Lil Texas in it. Sounds great.
Iwas using a very old 22w Celestion Greenback, but moved to an Eminence Legend 1258 Blues which gave good results. Subsequently I have sold the amp to a friend to fund a Blues Cube Hot, but I still use the amp when rehearsing with him. The BCH is a great amp but not necessarily better than the BluesBaby.The BCH sports an emulated line out which is useful to me and my old BluesBaby was an early version which had no line out. Current models do have one but not speaker emulated.
The Pathfinders are superb for what they are and many posts attest to that. I suspect Korg/Vox dropped the line because they were surprised by the demand and felt they had underpriced it (from their viewpoint) to the detriment of their more expensive offerings.
Not all of us can be bothered with hauling around an AC30 any more, and in its period of production, the Pathfinder was the closest you could get in compact size and on a tight budget.
The Blues Baby is Stewart Ward's successful attempt to engineer a solid state recreation of the Blues Junior with a bit more flexibility. Some may feel that at its price point, it seems slightly homespun (or more kindly,perhaps boutique?) compared with for instance, the more recent BCH. Others may well feel that at a price only slightly less than Fender's ubiquitous original, what is the point - would a Fender hold its value better. Nevertheless, it is a great little amp.
I suppose you are right and VOX must have withdrawn it in order not to harm their classic AC range.
I grew up during the UK beat boom when US amps were still difficult to come by in UK, and Vox ruled the roost amongst its British competitors. Maybe familiarity breeds contempt, but I was never totally sold on the Vox sound and could not wait to get my first Fender. I guess it is a bit like the Fender v Gibson situation with guitars.
Bear in mind that the BB was designed as a SS emulation of the Blues Junior and if you love the Vox chime, it may not be the answer. Then again, the Vox sound means many things to different people: Hank Marvin/The Shadows, the Beatles, Rory Gallagher, Brian May,The Edge, to name just a few, all created their own very identifiable personal sounds with Vox.
I now have a few Fender, Roland/Boss and Peavey amps and the only Vox is my Pathfinder 15R which I picked up before it acquired its cult status. I find it more than adequate whenever my occasional Vox desires surface, and whilst I have never used it other than at rehearsals there are plenty who are happy with the line out or micing up on stage.
Quite likely I am a useless judge because I still find a Peavey Bandit 65 the best bang for buck in my arsenal, but if I was asked to play in an old bluesy style, I would be more than happy with the Blues Baby!
It's a bit frustrating for me: I still have no idea what a Pathfinder 15R sounds like. On the strength of TDPRI verbiage I actually bought one once on eBay, but when I went to collect it locally it didn't work. The seller was very nice about it and even gave me some strings and a couple of leads for my trouble, but I've still never ever heard one of these amps in operation.
I keep feeling I ought to buy a BluesBaby, but even Stewart himself, knowing my styles of playing, reckons I'm better off with the RetroToned Sessionette I own and love.

Apple outlined a variety of new features coming to iOS mobile devices this spring as part of the company's long-awaited iOS 11.3 software update, including the latest version of the ARkit augmented reality platform and Apple Business Chat, for which the company has already lined up Lowe's as a retail partner.
Along with Lowe's, beta partners supporting use of Apple Business Chat include Discover, Hilton and Wells Fargo. The Business Chat feature allows users to communicate directly with businesses via the Messages app to interact with customer service representatives, schedule appointments and even make purchases using Apple Pay.
New ARkit features allow iOS devices with the AR capability to recognize and place virtual objects on vertical surfaces like walls and doors. ARkit-enabled AR apps also will be able to more accurately map irregularly shaped surfaces like circular tables.
Communications between businesses and their clients are quickly evolving beyond e-mail to features like chatbots, though adoption of chatbots is slow in some areas. Apple appeared to be all over the next phase in the chat revolution when it first outlined plans for the Business Chat capability last June, but, while it seemed like the feature would be available in that much-hyped iOS update, it still hasn't been rolled out.
In any case, it now appears to be on the way, with Lowe's one of the first retail partners. Apple's press release, which outlined the new iOS 11.3, featured a mock-up of a Business Chat exchange between Lowe's and a customer looking for a smart lock product, and showed how the customer could move to make the purchase via Apple Pay. Even if every Business Chat exchange is not about making a purchase, though, it still has a lot of potential for enhancing communications between retailers and their customers.
Meanwhile, ARkit's new functionality comes several months after the first round of ARkit-enabled retailer apps appeared, and the company noted that with the latest upgrade, "the view of the real world through the camera now has 50% greater resolution and supports auto-focus for an even sharper perspective."
Enriching retailer AR apps with more features and functions should help these apps appeal even more to users, especially for furniture retailers like Wayfair and Ikea, whose apps are meant to give customers a fuller picture of what furniture will look like in their home. The upgrades could also lead to wider adoption of AR technology, which has, for the present time, been fairly localized within the home goods and beauty sectors.

Maria Josepa Carmela de Borbó i de Saxònia (Gaeta, 6 de juliol de 1744 - Madrid, 8 de desembre de 1801) va ser princesa de Nàpols i Sicília i, després, infanta d'Espanya. Filla de Carles III i germana de Carles IV d'Espanya, va romandre soltera al llarg de la seva vida i va residir a la cort de Madrid, dedicada a tenir cura dels més petits i a la religió.

Biografia

Orígens
Va néixer al Palau Reial de Gaeta el 6 de juliol de 1744, filla del llavors Carles VII de Nàpols i V de Sicília —el futur Carles III d'Espanya— i de la princesa Maria Amàlia de Saxònia, que estava temporalment allà per la guerra que Carles III disputava a Itàlia el 1744. Va ser batejada allà mateix pel cardenal Spinelli. Va esdevenir princesa de Nàpols i Sicília des del seu naixement, i quan el seu pare va accedir al tron espanyol, el 10 d'agost de 1759, va convertir-se en infanta d'Espanya.

Aspecte
Hom afirma que la seva aparença era poc atractiva, el seu cos encorbat i amb deformacions físiques com la cifosi, si bé Fernán Núñez la va descriure com de cara no desagradable, amb un nas i una boca com les del seu pare.

Intents de matrimoni
Carles III va oferir-la en matrimoni a Lluís XV de França, que havia enviudat, després d'una proposta de casament, en vista que els seus fills encara no tenien descendència, i també per tal d'allunyar el monarca francès de madame du Barry. Més endavant, el rei va pensar en casar-la amb el seu germà, l'infant Lluís, comte de Chinchón. Cap dels dos projectes va fructificar i se'n desconeix el motiu. Hom creu que devia ser per l'aspecte de la infanta, tanmateix, altres afirmen que, en el cas de l'infant Lluís, ambdós estaven disposats, però finalment va ser la infanta que no va voler casar-s'hi per rumors sobre una malaltia que havia patit l'infant que podria perjudicar-la.

Vida a la cort
La infanta va romandre soltera al llarg de la seva vida i va viure a la cort espanyola al llarg dels regnats del seu pare i del seu germà, Carles IV. S'encarregà de tenir cura dels més petits de la cort, sent molt estimada i apreciada per tothom, tret de la seva cunyada, la reina Maria Lluïsa de Borbó-Parma, a la qual titllava de desagradable. També va dedicar-se a la religió i va protegir a les monges carmelites durant molts anys.

Va ser dama de l'Orde de les Dames Nobles de la Reina Maria Lluïsa en la seva primera promoció, el 21 d'abril de 1792, a més de ser condecorada amb la Creu de l'Orde de la Creu Estrellada de la dinastia Habsburg.

Mort
La infanta va morir a Madrid el 8 de desembre de 1801. Va ser enterrada primer al convent de Santa Teresa de la capital, pertanyent a les monges carmelites, però arran de la revolució de 1868 el convent va ser enderrocat i les seves restes van ser traslladades al Panteó d'Infants del monestir de San Lorenzo de El Escorial.

Retrats
De Maria Josepa el Museu del Prado conserva un retrat de joventut, obra de Lorenzo Tiepolo, i un esbós de Francisco de Goya per al quadre La família de Carles IV, on és representada, poc abans de la seva mort, com una senyora gran i amb una piga molt gran a la templa dreta.

Extractions: Financial Services in an Electronic Age: Some Emerging Legal Issues By Alan Gahtan and Jeff Graham - June 1997 Technology is facilitating the creation of new approaches to service delivery and permitting the introduction of new electronic products. For example, a number of major Canadian financial institutions are now offering financial products and services through the Internet. In many cases, their competitors are scrambling to catch up. Some financial institutions view the Internet as an alternative product delivery channel. For others, including the new Citizens Bank of Canada, a subsidiary of Vancouver Savings Credit Union and ING Direct, the trust company subsidiary of ING Bank (Netherlands), the Internet is a primary delivery channel. No proprietary software or private communication network is necessary. Customers can use industry standard Web browser software and must arrange their own access to the Internet through an Internet service provider. The conduct of financial transactions through the Internet is not likely to displace other more traditional channels anytime soon. However, financial institutions appear to be drawn by two factors. The first is the lower transaction costs associated with transactions conducted electronically as opposed to their branch networks. The second attraction is the demographics of customers who are interested in using the Internet to access financial services. One American study projected that with respect to the banking industry, each Internet customer is likely to be 50-250% more profitable than the average banking customer.
Extractions: "ASFAR is an organization dedicated to protecting and advancing the legal civil rights of youth. ASFAR fights the voting age, curfew laws, and other laws that limit the freedom of young people." The site describes various age-restrictive laws, includes stories of age-related discrimination, and includes ways to add stories, and to join the Society.
Extractions: By M aureen M inehan Too old. Too slow. Too stodgy. Too stubborn. Do any of these phrases apply to you? If you're over the age of 45, your employer may think they do, even if you don't. Throughout Europe, negative stereotypes of workers in their mid-40s and beyond affect the ability of a significant portion of the population to find and keep work. "Older people's skills and experience are going to waste because many employers discriminate against them," says Gordon Lishman, director general of Age Concern England, a London-based nonprofit organization representing the interests of older Britons. Could this happen to you? Unfortunately, the answer may be yes. Joan Fyfe says she never imagined that her age would prevent her from working, but that's just what happened. Ms. Fyfe, a former quality manager for a British manufacturing company in her fifties, says she was one of eight employees terminated when the company needed to cut costs in 2000. Of the eight, two were 49 years old and six were over 50, she says. When they questioned why they were selected for redundancy over employees with less experience or skill, the group was told they were "too old," Ms. Fyfe says. Ms. Fyfe says she's still astounded by her situation. "Age discrimination is a common phrase, but when it happens to you, it becomes much more real," she says.
Extractions: September, 2003 Important Notice Please note that this is only an introduction to age discrimination law. If you believe yourself to be a victim of age discrimination, please consult with an attorney to have your claim fully evaluated. If you believe you have been subjected to discrimination due to your age, you may be able to secure relief under state or federal law. Please note, however, that age discrimination protections are based upon allegations that an employee or applicant suffered discrimination for being "too old for the job". It is ordinarily legal to discriminate on the basis that somebody is "too young for the job". The ADEA also extends protections to employees, against retaliation for filing age discrimination charges, for participating in an investigation or litigation under the ADEA, or for testifying in related proceedings.


Serves: 4 Its Monday today, most of the houses prefer to vegetarian food, no difference at my place too. So cooked cabbage today and of course Bengali style. My maternal gets a credit for this, she cooks this dish, just too well. I have never tasted somebody cook better badha kopir tarkari than her….
