Q: WSS caches old Workflow version I'm currently developing three workflows that are supposed to handle the status of items in different lists.
Each Workflow is attached to a separate list.
When I'm deploying and debugging in my development Environment, everything works fine.
Except for the case, when an item is created via an incoming mail.
I already figured out, that I have to restart some services and then it'll work, but I'm still not sure wich of the services is caching the workflow.
Afterwards I build a .wsp file which I deploy on a server.
Each time I deploy the solution, I do a retract and delete solution first.
After deployment I'll recreate the workflows on the lists
It seems to me that this has no effect. An older version of the workflow is still triggered, if I create a new instance in the list.
I already restarted the whole server and still no result.
Has anyone an idea what else I could try in order to get this working?
Thanks in advance.

A: If Timer Service is the one that calls your code, then restart Windows SharePoint Services Timer (OWSTIMER.EXE).
When workflow waits on something, it gets serialized (hydrated). When event happens, OWSTIMER.EXE deserializes (dehydrates) and continues workflow execution.
So timer is the one that wakes workflow up.

A: So this problem kind of resolved itself.
I was reading an article on Kirk Evanns Blog on an issue with the development of workflows in VS2008 for WSS.
I had not realized that I still had an illeagle reference in my Project properties.
I removed the reference. The second thing I tried was deploying with -upgradesolution rather than doing a retract-delete-add-deploy...
I don't know which of both did the trick, but I can finally see the new workflows kicking in.
Thanks for your help.


These kids are going on a digital diet.
Japan is unveiling "Internet fasting camps" to deal with the country's half-million kids estimated to be addicted to the web, the government told several media outlets this week.
The government plans to hold the camps — where young people will have no access to the Internet, smart phones or video games — after a Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry's study found about 518,000 middle and high school students are "strongly addicted" to the Internet, The Yomiuri Shimbun reported.
A survey of more than 98,000 youngsters found nearly 7,952, or 8.1 percent, were "pathologically" addicted to the Internet, and reported trouble sleeping and poor nutrition. Nine percent of middle-schoolers and 15 percent of high-schoolers spend more than five hours on the Internet each week day, the Wall Street Journal reported.
The camps are part of a larger study on Internet addiction, and are voluntary. Kids will be encouraged to play sports and other outdoor activities at the days-long events, and counselors will be on hand to help them get a handle on their digital habits, The Yomiuri Shimbun reported.
Japan ranks fourth in the world for Internet users, behind China, the United States and India, according to statistics from Nielsen and the International Telecommunications Union and compiled by the Web site Internet World Stats.

Телекомпания ИКС — телекомпания города Тольятти, существовавшая в 1994—2002 годах. Юридическое название — «Информационно-коммуникационные сети» (форма собственности отличалась в разные годы).

Деятельность
В 1994 году была зарегистрирована ОАО «Информационно-Коммуникационные Сети». Учредителями являлись директор ЗАО ТЦ «ЛИК» Владимир Логанов, Департамент по управлению муниципальным имуществом Мэрии Тольятти, предприниматель Виктор Бочарников и ЖСК «Строй-Вита».

Телекомпания ИКС располагала собственными кабельными сетями в 26 и 27 кварталах Центрального района Тольятти. На широкую аудиторию ИКС выходил в эфир утром и ночью на первом канале и втором канале, через Жигулёвский РТПЦ, зона вещания город Тольятти, Жигулёвск и Ставропольский район. Телекомпания располагалась в здании главпочтампа Тольятти, ул. Мира, 67-А вместе с ЛАДА ТВ.

Главным редактором телекомпании ИКС стал бывший первый секретарь Комсомольского райкома ВЛКСМ Воробьев Сергей Валентинович.

Первые выпуски собственных программ производились на телевизионном оборудовании Арт-клуба «Диво». Позже телекомпания приобрела собственное оборудование.. Заставки программ рисовал Максим Сафронов.

Телекомпания ИКС выпускала новости с ведущей Татьяной Антощук (Шацкая), авторскую программу Марины Шикиной о культуре и искусстве Тольятти «Штрих», программу о здоровье и здравоохранении «Здравствуйте» (ведущая Ирина Чернова), программу об учебных заведениях «Альма-Матер» (ведущая Олеся Петришина), аналитическую программу «Вектор» (авт. ведущий Сергей Воробъев), автомобильную программу «Антилопа-Гну». Программу с неформальной беседой с актёрами, художниками «No smoking» (авт. и ведущие Марина Шикина, Татьяна Попова), программу о нестандартном взгляде горожан на ту или иную тему «Не социологический опрос» (авт. Марина Шикина), общественно-политические программы «Мнения» и «Гость в студии» (ведущая Ольга Бывшева), программу о производстве «Сделано в Тольятти» (ведущий Денис Вовчук), программы «Солнце, воздух и вода» и «Государственная Дума, взгляд изнутри» (авт. ведущая Татьяна Попова).

На безе ИКС ТВ первоначально производилась авторская спортивная программа Валерия Малькова «Фан-Клуб» и программы телекомпании «Паритет».

В 1996 году телекомпания провела конкурс, по результату которого 9 человек были приняты в штат телекомпании, пройдя пятилетнее обучение в Ленинградском институте театра, музыки и кинематографии.

В 1998 году телекомпания недолгое время входила в «Ассоциацию Телевидения Тольятти» (АТТ), созданную по инициативе ВАЗ ТВ. В этом же году из-за экономического кризиса в России, положение телекомпании ухудшилось.

В 2000 году программа Марины Шикиной «Тольятти фестивальный» стала лауреатом городской премии в номинации лучшая информационная программа за 1999 год.

Закрытие телекомпании
В 2002 году ТК ИКС прекратила производство программ. Творческий коллектив стал ядром созданной новой телестудии «ТВ-Эксперт» под руководством выходца из ИКС Григория Кузина, которая выпускала еженедельную программу в прямом эфире «Профессионал» (ведущая Ольга Бывшева), программу Марины Шикиной о здоровье «Bona Vita» и программу «Сделано в Тольятти» Денис Вовчук. Впоследствии студия «ТВ-Эксперт» переродилась в студию «Медиа-7» которая вошла в состав ВАЗ ТВ. Туда же вошла спортивная программа Валерия Малькова «Фан-Клуб». Кабельные сети ИКС были объединены в Группу компаний «ЛИК».

В мае 2012 года на 51 году жизни скончался главный редактор телекомпании «ИКС» Сергей Воробьев, который последнее время работал на предприятии ОАО Волгоцеммаш.

Юридическое лицо ликвидировано в 2013 г.

Scott demoted
vice president Guy Scott
GUY Scott has with immediate effect been fired from his position as Patriotic Front (PF) vice-president.
PF president Edgar Lungu yesterday sacked Dr Scott as the ruling party's vice-president hours after he authored a letter directing acting Chief Justice Lombe Chibesakunda and Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) chairperson Irene Mambilima to reject Mr Lungu's nomination papers for the presidential election next month.
Mr Lungu's action has effectively relegated Dr Scott to an ordinary member of the party although he remains the Acting President.
Mr Lungu said in a letter to Dr Scott that it had come to his attention that the Acting President authored a letter to Justice Chibesakunda and Justice Mambilima purporting to have directed the rejection of his nomination which is scheduled to be filed on Saturday this week.
He said the letter to Justice Chibesakunda was provocative and an act of indiscipline which had created despondency in the minds of party members.
Mr Lungu said the letter to Justice Chibesakunda and Justice Mambilima had no authority or consent of the Central Committee or himself (Lungu) as the party president.
"This action has threatened the peace, law and order of the party and the nation. In pursuance of article 19 (c) and 61(i) of the party constitution, you are hereby informed that you have been removed from the position of vice-president with immediate effect and will henceforth remain an ordinary member of the party," Mr Lungu said.
Mr Lungu said Dr Scott was aware that he (Lungu) had been elected president of the PF at the general conference on 30 November 2014 and that the High Court had passed a consent judgment declaring him the duly and legitimately elected party president.
He however said he had referred the matter of Dr Scott's gross indiscipline to the Central Committee.
Soon after the dismissal of Dr Scott as vice-president of the PF, the Central Committee held an emergency meeting at which the ruling party's chairperson for Labour Davis Mwila was expected to move a motion to expel the Acting President from the party.
The irate Central Committee members convened at Blue Nile Lodge last night to discuss Dr Scott's letter to acting Chief Justice Lombe Chibesakunda in which he directed the head of the judiciary as presiding officer not to accept presidential nomination from Mr Lungu until after the conclusion of the court cases.
Mr. Mwila said Dr Scott was being insubordinate to party president Lungu to write such a letter to Justice Chibesakunda without informing the leader of the party.
Foreign Affairs minister Harry Kalaba warned that Dr. Scott had taken party members for granted and had therefore deserved to be expelled from both the party and Cabinet. Traditional and Chiefs Affairs minister Nkandu Luo said Dr. Scott's action could be understood because he was not an indigenous Zambian.
Tourism and Arts minister Jean Kapata said the action by Dr. Scott was the reason late President Michael Sata used to allegedly refer to him as a "whiteman" who did not care about the political stability of the country.

Why Pandiculation? — Primal Movement Works!
Have you ever wondered how you keep your body operating like a well-oiled machine? You stretch, you roll, but is that all you can do to increase your joint health and improve their longevity?
Pandiculation is that crazy movement that you typically see animals do as they get up and start to move. If you have a pet, like a cat or a dog, you see it every day. It's what they do when they get up off the floor. Take a look the next time you see Fluffy getting up. They move through a wide range of motion as they get ready to move.
This stretching, the up dog or down dog type motion, provides lubrication and mobilize all the joints, as they prepare to move.
At the cost of joint health and flexibility, most Humans have moved away from the practice of preparing their body for movement.
Why has this happened? There are a number of reasons.
In the distant past, we moved away from the ground because it was not always the most favorable of places and you didn't want to share your sleeping space with unwelcome things like insects and ground-dwelling critters.
Another reason was more rooted in hierarchy and status. We saw moving off of the floor onto a chair as an elevation in our status, sort of a status symbol. It's simply no longer in our culture to not have a chair to sit on. Many would look a someone squatting think, "Gosh, can't they afford a chair? Why aren't they sitting?". It's much the same with beds. We no longer lie prone on surfaces that require us to raise from the floor when we wake up. Who would when instead they can lay on a plush, elevated, king-size mattress where they can climb into bed.
Ironically, there is a lot of proof that healthier societies are those that are living and working from off the ground. They have much fewer hip problems, back pain, and other orthopedic issues because of they utilize their full range of motion in their everyday life.
This elevation (pun intended), resulted in us not having to get ourselves up from low positions, leading to the loss of something extremely beneficial to our health, our mobility. Most troubling is that people don't even know that they are missing out on the benefits of getting up and down from the ground. It's never been a practice, so they have no idea of the long-term health benefit that moving through all the ranges provides when it comes to lubrication, mobilization, and preparing our joints and connective tissues to move can have.
Is such a little thing really a big deal?
Wait. How can this be a big deal? How can a little "stretch" when I rise be so important?
Interestingly enough, in a study conducted in 2012 by Brazilian physician Claudio Gil Araujo, and published in the European Journal of Cardiology, there's a definite case made for how flexibility, balance and muscle strength can predict longevity.
The study, comprised of more than 2,000 patients ages 51 to 80, using a simple sitting-rising test (SRT) concluded that the fundamental act of being able to get yourself up and down off the floor, with as little external assistance as possible, was a strong predictor of your mortality.
Yes, you read that correctly. When people are not able to move themselves up and down from the floor, they have a better chance of dying. A bit scary isn't it!
As you can see, it doesn't take a giant leap of logic to connect the benefits of pandiculation to the conclusions drawn by the study.
Rise up for your health!
In my eyes, the need for mobility, and the process for increasing it are crucial to your longevity.
What sparked this line of thought?
Before the study, as I was working with clients to help them move better, I saw the benefits of working on rising from the floor.
For many clients, the simple act of getting them to experience the difficulties they were encountering with the movement was eye-opening.
Using the process of moving to a standing position unassisted prompted them to think about the broader implications. Often, they would pause after performing the simple action and say "How can this be so hard?".
It became clear to me that they had no idea that there was a movement chronology, that there was a series of actions that were so simple that they had never taken the time to appreciate them.
This realization lead me to think, "Well, how did we first learn how to move from the floor?".
I kept returning to our beginning and looking at the actions, asking, "What did I miss it in that movement?".
This lead me to realize that it wasn't just the beginnings of the movement performed that I had to consider, I had to go back further, back to the early stages of motor development.
This return was critical. It became clear to me that, to restore proper function, in many cases, we need to look at how we learned to move in the first place.
By looking at our beginnings, we can find a means to reprogram movement patterns, and refresh our experience with them leading to better movement.
By looking at motor development and understanding how some children skip through or have adapted around, a movement that wasn't available made it clear to me the value of reintroducing those missing movement patterns. It provided an opportunity to help clients enhance and restore, and even learn, movements that produced a more comprehensive movement menu to choose from as we worked together.
Putting this into practice with clients, and seeing the struggle, enabled me to see clearly how early motor development was a tool that we were lacking. With this knowledge, I was now able to more effectively problem solve for clients.
How does Primal help people to recapture this lost movement?
One of our components of the Primal Movement Works System is going through the motor development progression.
The progression starts in a supine position (on our back), and goes through the different stages of our motor development. From being on our side to our belly, and then to a seated position or all-fours position to moving to a low kneeling position, and finally rising to a standing position.
This is part of the makeup of the PMW system, and in that, we are incorporating human pandiculation in the core of our system.
Slow change is the way to go. Some people, they can't even go to the ground at first. Instead, they should consider starting by bending their knees and hinging in their hips. Just learning to begin to move in a direction that they had not.
If they're not familiar with how to modify it's always great to connect with a trained professional, someone who's educated in movement, as it's vital that they have someone to guide them as they progress. In many cases, they may feel a little discomfort, and most people, when they feel discomfort, think they're in pain, and they're injuring themselves. It's important to have guidance and understand the difference between pain where you're harming yourself and simple discomfort.
Often, when people place their hands on the floor, like in an all-fours position, they feel it in their wrists, and they begin to think, "Oh, that hurts my wrist.".
While the movement is producing discomfort, in all likelihood it's not hurting your wrist. It may be moving you in a way that you haven't, and your body's saying, "Yeah, that's the sensation that I'm not familiar with," and most of the time, we equate that with pain. It's critical to understand that instead, the internal dialog should be, "Yeah, that's a little discomforting, but this is a feeling of change happening in my body." You don't fool around with that change. You want to experience it and then move away.
In Primal, when we start to feel a change, we experience it, and then do some different types of mobility exercises to ease into it. Then we come back to that movement that caused that discomfort and explore further.
Mobility combined with a new experience is critical to help in the body's adaptation, to these new positions.
It's beautiful to work with clients and other teachers and experience the process of them improving their mobility and movement patterns by using this systematic approach.
For more information on how Primal Movement Works, join us on January 20 & 21 for our Primal Foundations Teacher Training and learn how you can apply our system to enhancing your and your client's movement, flexibility and health.

From 1919 to 2019: five inspiring women in Law
The role of women in the legal industry has changed dramatically over the last few decades and despite incredible strides forward in terms of equality, there is still a lot that can be done in order to continue this journey. According to The Law Society, women make up over 60% of new entrants in the legal industry, yet recent studies by the SRA have shown that between 2014 and 2017, the gap between male and female partners in law firms has increased from 25% to 29%, maintaining a disproportionate representation at the most senior levels. Although there's still work to be done, we should always celebrate our successes, particularly as we celebrate 100 years of women in Law. So, to mark the centenary of The Sex Disqualification (Removal) Act in 1919 that allowed women to enter the profession, today we are celebrating five of the most inspiring women that stand out in law.
Baroness Brenda Hale
After becoming the first woman Justice of The Supreme Court in 2009 and taking up appointment in 2017 as President of The Supreme Court, Brenda Hale, is one of the many women that stand out in law. Specialising in Family and Social Welfare Law, she has worked tirelessly to protect victims of domestic violence. One of the most important legislative changes that she implemented in the UK was the Children's Act in 1989. Since 2017 and following her example, The Supreme Court has seen significant changes. In fact, today, three out of the twelve seats are taken by powerful and inspiring women.
Gareth Peirce
Described by human rights activists as "synonymous with civil rights", Gareth Peirce has had an incredible influence in the legal industry, making her one of the most recognisable figures in the profession. She is renowned for having been involved in high profile cases like the Guildford Four, the Birmingham Six and Moazzam Begg and for representing controversial cases, particularly those which involve representing individuals who have been accused of acts of terrorism. Since the start of her career, she has been instrumental in changing legal history, renowned for always giving a voice to the underdog.
Margaret Owen OBE
Another remarkable example is Margaret Owen, a human rights barrister specialising in women's rights. Margaret has always been fascinated by law and how it can affect other people, especially the most vulnerable in society, which is why she decided to study law and help women around the world. After losing her husband, she realised that in some parts of the world, widows don't always get the right support and the law doesn't protect them from discrimination, violence and abuse. This particular issue led her to found Widows for Peace through Democracy, a charity whose aim it is to promote the equality of women of all ages, religion and ethnicity, and to fight for their human rights.
Carrie Morrison
We could say that without Carrie Morrison, it would be difficult to have so many incredible examples of inspiring women in Law. In 1922 she made history by becoming the first woman to qualify as solicitor in England and Wales and since then she has fought to defend and to represent the less fortunate in court. As a woman of "firsts", in 1923 Carrie founded, along with other women, an association for female solicitors. This would then change its name to '1919 Club – The Association of Women Solicitors' in 1969.
Dame Rose Heilbron
It was only fair to end this overview with the inspirational Rose Heilbron, one of the pioneers of opening up roles for women in Law. Some of her biggest achievements include being one of the first two women to receive a first-class honours degree in Law from Liverpool University and being the first woman to win a scholarship to Gray's Inn. Rose's determination and talent had an incredible impact and made her stand out at a time when men were asked to serve in the war, allowing more women to take this opportunity to serve as barristers. In 1950, she caught everyone's attention as the first woman to lead in a murder case, earning the accolade of "Woman of the Year".
These inspiring ladies demonstrate just how far women have come in the legal industry, paving the way for others to do the same. We know that we are not at the end of the battle yet, with further progress still to be made, particularly in senior positions where we are not seeing true levels of equality. But we believe that we must celebrate our successes as we make strides towards the future, which is why we're keen to feature some of the fantastic women in the industry.

A relaxed dress code isn't appropriate in many small business offices since it creates a relaxed and casual atmosphere which might cause customers to shed confidence in the company. The hook might be an explanation of a issue or situation your persuasive essay will address, or it may be a compelling question or a statistic linked to your issue. The previous sentence should conclude the thought whilst transitioning in the next paragraph.
The paragraph could very well be the most essential paragraph from the essay as it's the very first and potentially last opportunity to create an influence on the reader. Although the majority of people mechanically think about the controversial or political issues, you don't always have to be shocking. You're creating a particular sort of article, so in the case you stray from the specifics, you're needing to improve the aim behind one's paper, which could be unacceptable.

A novel in-line polarization-dependent microfiber interferometer (PD-MFI) is proposed and experimentally demonstrated, which is tapered from a commercial polarization-maintaining fiber. Different from conventional MFIs, the transmission spectra of such MFIs are highly polarization-dependent, due to the mode-sensitive birefringence. The experimental results agree well with the theoretical predictions. Moreover, exploiting the polarization-dependent property of PD-MFIs, we demonstrate a simple and flexible scheme of generating polarity-switchable ultra-wideband pulses in the optical domain. Doublet pulses with a central frequency of 6.28 GHz and a 10-dB bandwidth of 7.86 GHz are obtained. Hence, with the advantages of being fiberized, simple fabrication and robustness, these PD-MFIs can be attractive elements in optical signal processing, optical sensing, optical fiber communication, and microwave photonics.

2022 March Madness Bubble Teams
Top 6 Sliding Techniques In Baseball Reading 2022 March Madness Bubble Teams 3 minutes Next Top Prospects for the NBA Draft 2022
By Staff Writer Mar 8, 2022
March Madness is about to be upon us, and there will be a bunch of teams who are narrowly able to find their way into the tournament. There will also be other teams who believe that they should have gotten in but find themselves ultimately left out. These teams are known as bubble teams. Every team has a chance to make the NCAA Tournament by winning their conference tournament. Those who don't win it will have to be selected via the committee. This creates some drama around Selection Sunday as the official brackets are announced.
The first bubble team, a fan favorite, is the Memphis Tigers. Memphis is led by their head coach, former Memphis and NBA star Anfernee Hardaway. So far as the Memphis coach, Hardaway has done a great job recruiting top talent like James Wiseman and Emoni Bates, but that hasn't translated into much success yet. Memphis is currently third in the American Athletic Conference behind Houston and SMU. This team is getting hot at the right time though. They beat Wichita State by 24 points recently and have won nine of their last 10 games. Their last regular season game will be against No. 14 Houston. If they win that, they will almost certainly be in the tournament, but if they don't, they still have a good chance of being selected.
Virginia Commonwealth is also finding themselves on the bubble. They will likely need to win their final game of the season to push their winning streak to nine games in order to be selected, but they will also need some losses from other bubble teams to have a shot. VCU has been a Cinderella team in the tournament before, and they could do it again this season. It will be a tough conference tournament for them to take down to get an automatic bid though. At this point it seems unlikely they get selected unless a lot goes right for them at the end of the year.
The Florida Gators will play in their most meaningful matchup of the year in the season finale game. Essentially, if they beat No. 5 Kentucky at home on Saturday they should be a lock to be selected to the tournament. If they don't, it will be a toss up whether they make it in or not. On their resume this season they have a big win over Auburn who was No. 2 at the time, but a win over Kentucky here would arguably be even bigger. Florida's fate will likely rely on the committee's selection if they don't beat Kentucky as the SEC Tournament will prove to be a tough one to come out on top of.

← Lady of the Vine
__NOTOC__ [[Image:Lady of the Vine.jpg|frame|right|Art by [http://artisallan.deviantart.com/art/Shakira-46892254 ArtisAllan] ]]The Lady of the Vine is a Forest Walker [[race::spirit]] in the [[campaign::Forgotten Suns]] campaign. ==Personality== Thee Lady's visions of the future distract her from what is happening in the present while she is talking, giving her a detached and somewhat eerie demeanor. She tends to be calm and polite, even when angered. ==Appearance== Like all Forest Walkers, the Lady can take the shape of any creature in her jungle, as well as a human of any size. When dealing with humans, she finds it advantageous to use the form of a beautiful naked woman. ==History== During and slightly after the First Age, the Lady invested significant effort in wagering with others of her kind, in spite of her distance from the forests of the east. As other forest walkers viewed her jungle with varying degrees of distaste, winning these bets became critically important to the Lady. She struck deals with a number of sidereal astrologers to vary outcomes in her favor. This plan lost its luster when she was double-crossed by one of her fortune tellers who had made a better deal with a rival forest walker. Soon after, she became obsessed with gaining her own ability to read the future, going so far as to consult with demons, attempting to bargain for knowledge of prognostication charms. This act did not sit well with her superiors in the celestial bureaucracy, who decided to punish her by giving her just what she wanted. They cursed her to see the many paths the future might hold whether she wanted to or not (see sidebar, above). Though this new sight has proved useful to the Lady from time to time, mostly it is a hindrance and distraction. As a result of this punishment, the Lady is a model citizen of the bureaucracy (with a pair of powerful allies in Yu-Shan) and now avoids the wagers of her brethren. She tends to avoid supernatural control of her jungle, letting it grow where it will. Though her contact with mortals is limited, she has cultivated a number of small cults along the edges of the jungle. Originally intended as a way to prevent mortals from hacking the jungle away, her cult now blesses her with thousands of worshipers a day. About a hundred of these cultists are fanatically loyal. ==Goals== While she doesn't mind the changing nature of the jungle, the Lady works to prevent the jungle from changing too radically, and is always on guard for such threats (a band of solars claiming a manse, or an invading undead army, for example). The possibility of claiming the demense upon which the manse is built interests her marginally. [[Category:NPC]]

Art & Entertainment Law
Tamar A. Clark July 8, 2021 4 min read
Art remedy helps folks struggling to overcome difficulties and stress, using the creative process to characterize internal experiences, creating consciousness as properly as advancing private change. Entertainment is crucial for people Underwater Photography with psychological issues, especially dementia. Music is a significant part within the entertainment world, which is essential in healing for people with dementia, particularly the aging people.
At center stage in downtown Duluth's Historic Arts and Theater District, the restored NorShor Theatre will convey new financial growth, new productions, and new potentialities to the region Photography Lighting Kit. Few issues are more fun than a summer season concert on the brilliant, lovely shores of our big lake.
In a fundamental sense, in case you are writing or composing or drawing or no matter with the intention or hope that different individuals will apprehend and recognize what you are doing, that's entertainment. And again, you'll find a way to succeed or not succeed, depending on your skill and in addition the interest and style of the viewers. What makes it entertainment is the intention, not the standard.
Producers should feel like they may at least obtain their funding again. Murphys Open House A favourite of locals, yearly on the first Friday in December, Murphys celebrates the beginning of the vacation season with old style neighborhood celebration featuring a vacation parade, treats, and native wines. Behind iron and brick lay the proper place for canvas and sculpture – parted theatre curtains reveal the stages upon which you're welcome to witness talent uniquely ours in addition to world-class acts impressed to carry out in Durham. Every inch of our cityscape and outdoor spaces are the place you, too, can take part in creating your individual magic and take within the magic of others. Discover the vibe of a neighborhood steeped in boundaries pushed with beauty always on show. This is the place baseball is as fantastic a pastime as strolling by way of the Sarah P. Duke Gardens, where our karaoke and trivia nights are rivaled only by electric parades and rooftop gatherings. Intrigue is uncovered on spontaneous Saturday morning bike tours and acoustic sidewalk performances.
The mural was created in 2013 to honor Brown County's rich history. Ascension Fine Arts represents local and reginal art in a wide range of media. We have a large number of paintings, pictures, mixed media, glass art, sculpture, and extra.
With this in mind, we can fee things separately for his or her art and entertainment value. The Schoenberg Violin Concerto is pretty inventive, but not very entertaining. Webern's little items for soprano, E flat clarinet, and guitar, on the opposite hand, are wildly creative and in addition wildly entertaining. And maybe other folks won't find Webern as entertaining as I do, but Latte Art that, because the old line goes, is why there's chocolate and vanilla. All of us like different things, and, on prime of that, we like them in several ways. Since the time of Duchamp artists have been keen on calling upon their viewers to take part in completing their work. The greater the degree of real funding by each artist and viewer of coronary heart and mind, the purer the aesthetic expertise for each.
We all know YouTube – one of the world's prime website to find wonderful art and entertainment contents from visual arts, to performing arts – film, music, dance, plus TV and amazing movies.
Justice Louis Brandeis' advice that the treatment for messages we disagree with or dislike in art, entertainment or politics is "extra speech, not enforced silence," is as true at present as it was when given in 1927.
And the publish could have been a throwaway, but the age-old discussion about art vs. entertainment wants less provocation and more earnest approaches, especially on the internet.
I assume, because of the medium, that it lends itself more to being daring and thought provoking.
With the vaccine rollout, the world is beginning to tentatively open its doors—and even live shows are on the horizon.

Currently, the music industry is too fragmented with most musicians trying to create their very own labels. This is encouraging, but the reality is that it costs a mean of 30,000GHC to produce and promote an album, which is daunting for most musicians. The business is capital intensive and due to this fact requires capital injection.

He's champion horse trainer with hundreds of wins under his belt, but just who is Darren Weir?
The Racing Appeals and Disciplinary Board is expected to hear the charges this week, possibly as early as Wednesday.
Weir and McLean were asked to show cause why the stewards ought not to exercise their powers pursuant to Australian Rules of Racing pending the hearing and determination of charges issued against them by RV stewards on February 1.
Stier also explained how the stewards reached a proposed four-year disqualification for Weir under the charges relating to possession of "electronic apparatus capable of affecting the performance of a horse".
Subject to the condition stated above, McLean will be permitted to continue to nominate and accept horses for races and official trials.
Stewards opened the show cause hearing on Friday and withdrew all Weir's and McLean's horses from race meetings over the weekend. He will not be permitted to accept with any horses that he has nominated. Weir will not be able to accept with any of his nominated horses and any horse now nominated for a race, but not accepted, must be transferred to another trainer with the approval of the stewards if the owners still wish to compete in that race.
McLean is allowed to keep training in his own right, but is not permitted to train any horses that had been in Weir's stable up to January 30 this year.


Description At the age of twenty Vernet left his native Avignon for a lengthy stay in Rome where he devloped a style of idealized landscape painting derived from the 17th-century classical traditions of Claude Lorrain and Salvator Rosa. Not until 1762 did he settle in Paris, metting with success there painting marine scenes and "picturesque" views that recalled his Italian sojourn as well as reflected a debt to Dutch landscape painting. His work was admired by wide international clientele. Scenes with cascades of waterfalls loosely based on the famous Italian sites of Tivoli and Terni were painted by Vernet throughout his career, and several are recorded for the year 1768. This handsome painting was commissioned for an 18th-century country house located in Danson Park, England, that was designed by the architect Robert Taylor for the English merchant John Boyd in 1766. Vernet was the leading landscape painter of the 18th century. His idealized compositions, loosely inspired by the Italian countryside, were much prized as souvenirs of the so-called "Grand Tour" of Italy made by the elite to acquire cultural sophistication. In this landscape, Vernet evokes the feel of the Italian countryside, which he has adorned with picturesque ruins and lively figures, without actually re-creating any specific time or place. This work combines all the typical elements of Vernet's ideal views. As tourists gawk at the waterfall, picturesque peasants go about their business. The perfectly calculated balance between the large tree, the harsh rocky face of the cliff, and the sun-drenched vista beyond the aqueduct evokes the notion of the sublime which figured so prominently into the 18th century.

Some industry experts, including Gene Munster of Piper Jaffray Companies (NYSE:PJC), predict that the release of the iTV will result in over 10 million sales the first year alone. Considering the projected $2,000 price tag and 25% profit margin, the iTV could prove to be one of Apple's biggest money-makers of 2014.
The iTV would provide consumers with an array of streaming digital content accessible through a variety of online service providers. Using existing Wi-Fi in the home, the iTV could connect to the Internet and display on-demand cloud-based media. The notion of giving customers the ability to choose from a broader selection of viewable content than what's already offered by cable and satellite providers seems impressive and highly desirable.
Undoubtedly, Apple will sell a ton of new iTVs, but not as many as expected. Why not? First off, aside from the new cloud-based features and fancy interface, the iTV is no different than the dozens of other HD televisions already available for half the price. That means consumers would be paying nearly $1,000 just for the Apple television services.
With the ridiculous number of people struggling to make ends meet, convincing the average American to spend an extra thousand bucks just for the privilege of watching cloud content is unrealistic. Today's consumers are more educated, more informed, and less susceptible to glitzy advertising campaigns than in the past, not to mention they have less disposable income.
The release of the iTV (regardless of when it actually becomes available) is unlikely to generate the same hysterical stampedes of buyers that flocked to buy the iPhone 5. People just don't get excited about televisions like they do about cell phones and other new gadgets. Plus, the concept of streaming Internet media is nothing new to most average consumers. Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ:CMCSA) has been offering viewers a host of such content for years through its On Demand interface. Anything from movies to music to past episodes is readily available, in addition to Comcast's own proprietary content, and there's no need to buy a special new TV set.
Streaming content to living room televisions is a matter already satisfied by several existing companies. Google Inc (NASDAQ:GOOGL), Boxee and Roku offer small devices that attach to televisions with HDMI cables and provide access to a nearly unlimited supply of Internet-based content. The cost of one of these devices averages less than $100, and they can be connected to any television.
Users can watch free movies through services like Crackle, or rent movies from services such as Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) Vudu, Inc., or Amazon.com, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:AMZN) Prime Instant video service. New channels are easily added, and the availability of games is starting to increase, too. With the significantly smaller cost to get cloud-based media, compared to the projected iTV price, and the flexibility to use them on any television, educated consumers are more likely to keep that extra money in their pockets.


Pregnancy is often a time of joy, anticipation and planning. For people living with chronic illness, like psoriasis and/or psoriatic arthritis, the addition of worrying about experiencing a flare and planning for treatments that are safe and effective during and after pregnancy can feel stressful. The good news is that there are many treatment options available and working with your doctor to create a plan that works for you through each stage of this journey is possible.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding are typically quite safe for people living with psoriatic disease. There is much we still don't know about the connection between pregnancy, birth and psoriatic disease but researchers have found that some women experience changes in their psoriatic disease during times of significant hormonal shifts like pregnancy, birth and menopause.
Life with psoriasis and/or psoriatic arthritis (together called psoriatic disease) is different for each person. This variation in symptoms and severity is also true during and after pregnancy. Many women see an improvement in the severity of their psoriatic disease during pregnancy, some see no change in symptoms, while others report their symptoms gets worse.
Many women report a flare in their psoriasis and/or psoriatic arthritis shortly after delivery. Unfortunately, there's no way to know ahead of time what your experience will be. It's important to work with your obstetrician and psoriasis specialist (dermatologist and/or rheumatologist) to have a treatment plan in place in case you do experience a postpartum flare.
Be sure to let your obstetrician know that you have psoriasis and/ or psoriatic arthritis and inform them of any treatments you're on. A study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology found that women with severe psoriasis are at a higher risk of having a low birth weight baby than women without psoriasis. In contrast, women with mild psoriasis do not face this higher risk.
It's also important to discuss with your obstetrician if you have genital psoriasis so they can be mindful of the sensitivity of your skin. With both vaginal and c-section births it is possible to experience the Koebner [KEB-ner] phenomenon. This is a flare in psoriasis symptoms in areas where the skin has been injured.
Many psoriasis treatments require special precautions before and during pregnancy. It is important to consult with your doctor to verify your psoriasis treatments are safe for pregnancy and breastfeeding. When considering treatment options it's important to look at the benefits, risks, and how you feel about your options. Treatment decisions are ultimately yours to make, in consultation with your healthcare providers, and it is worthwhile to take the time to create a treatment plan that works well and you feel comfortable with.
The most common treatment options for women with psoriasis who are pregnant or breastfeeding include topical treatments and phototherapy. For women with moderate to severe psoriasis and/or psoriatic arthritis, some oral and biologic medications may also be recommended on a case-by-case basis.
Topicals are often a recommended treatment option for women with psoriasis who are pregnant or breastfeeding. Options include limited use of low- to moderate-dose topical steroids or vitamin D derivatives. Over-the-counter products, such as moisturizers, can also help manage symptoms.
If you are breastfeeding, it is advised to use caution when applying topical treatments to the breasts to avoid passing the medication to the baby.
It is not recommended that pregnant women use Tazorac (tazarotene), which is a topical vitamin A derivative, due to concern about possible birth defects.
Treatment with UVB phototherapy is generally safe during pregnancy and is a commonly prescribed treatment for pregnant and breastfeeding women. Wearing a covering or sunscreen on the face is recommended to prevent melasma (a condition common in pregnant women that causes the appearance of brown spots).
A type of phototherapy called PUVA (light sensitizing medication psoralen and UVA light exposure) should be avoided by men and women trying to conceive and by women who are pregnant due to the potential for birth defects.
Biologic or oral treatments may be appropriate for pregnant or breastfeeding women. For some treatments, there is research available to support or discourage their use in pregnant or breastfeeding women. For other treatments, researchers and doctors want to learn more about how they affect pregnant or breastfeeding women.
Methotrexate and Soriatane (acitretin) are both oral treatments that are known to cause birth defects and should be avoided during pregnancy. Both men and women should avoid taking methotrexate for 3 months prior to trying to conceive. Due to the high rate of birth defects and length of time it stays in your system, it is recommended that women discontinue using Soriatane for 3 years before becoming pregnant. If you are taking methotrexate or Soriatane and are considering pregnancy, it is important to talk with your doctor.
For other oral treatments and biologics, there is less information available about safety during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Women considering pregnancy and pregnant women should work closely with their doctor to weigh the benefit and the risks of using these treatments.
Small studies have been done on pregnant women using biologics that showed no increased risk for low birth weight or birth defect. Researchers and providers are working hard to gain more information on the use of these treatments for women who are pregnant and breastfeeding.
Women considering pregnancy and pregnant women who are on medication(s), should talk to their doctor about enrolling in a pregnancy registry. A pregnancy registry is maintained to track women that are on a drug during pregnancy to better understand the effects of a particular drug on the mother and fetus.
Mother to Baby is a website that offers a robust amount of information on the safety of medications during pregnancy and breastfeeding. They have fact sheets on many of the treatments for psoriatic disease and the ability to call, chat or email with an expert in the field at no cost.

Zupco exempts rural buses, urban taxis
10 May, 2021 - 00:05 2021-05-10T00:08:05+00:00 2021-05-10T00:07:55+00:00 0 Views
Mashudu Netsianda, Senior Reporter
COMMUTER buses and kombis plying rural routes including metered taxis operating in urban centres are allowed to operate without registering under the Zupco franchise or going through the Central Mechanical and Engineering Department (CMED) as long as they are licensed to operate.
All public transport vehicles are however supposed to be taken to the Vehicle Inspection Department (VID), which falls under the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructural Development for fitness examination.
Government decreed that all public transporters in urban centres should be registered under Zupco in order to bring sanity to the public transport sector.
Zupco registered buses and kombis have been able to enforce Covid-19 health protocols meant to curb the spread of the pandemic.
Local Government and Public Works Minister July Moyo made the clarification during last Wednesday's National Assembly's Question and Answer session in Parliament.
"Commuter omnibuses and buses which go to rural areas do not need to go to CMED or register with Zupco. If the Ministry gives them a licence to operate, that is what they use and nothing was disturbed," he said.
"However, because in urban areas most of the places are tarred, this is where the mushika-shika or illegal operators flood creating chaos," said Minister Moyo.
He said Government policy is holistic to the problems bedevilling the transport sector with his ministry not only focusing on urban areas but also helping in the rural areas.
"As a policy issue, we do not want people to have any disturbance and they should be ferried to and from their destination. Where commuter omnibuses could not reach, we have instructed that all these places be reached," he said.
Minister Moyo said Government is buying more Zupco buses with the intention of reaching out to all areas in the country.
"Our intention as Zupco is to reach all areas. Those who operate in rural areas had come to us complaining saying Zupco is actually bringing the fares down and our answer was that there should be competition. Our intention is to help the people hence we want this competition to benefit them," he said.
Minister Moyo said registering public transporters under Zupco has also helped in reducing accidents as drivers go through thorough fitness test.
He said CMED is well equipped to do all the vehicle inspections.
"If you look at the statistics of buses that have killed or injured people, you find that Zupco registered buses and kombis are few. The reason is that bus drivers under Zupco undergo fitness test," he said.
Minister Moyo said this had helped in the reduction of accidents in the country.
"We were recording many accidents in urban areas because operators and their drivers were not following the rules and regulations with regard to providing public transport."
He said vehicles that are designated as taxis are licensed differently from the other transport systems by the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructural Development and are allowed to operate.
"The taxis are not required to go through the Zupco way. They are designated as taxis and are licensed by the Ministry of Transport differently from the other transport systems and so, they are exempt," he said.
Responding to a question by Zanu-PF Chegutu West Legislator Cde Dexter Nduna on whether there is a plan by Government to create a dedicated line on the country's road infrastructure for public transport, Minister Moyo said:
"We have been planning about how movement should take place in the urban areas.
"In the past, we created these one-ways and we thought it would alleviate the situation but vehicles have increased hence the congestion on our roads during peak hours."
He said at the moment it was not feasible to create public transport lanes as the country's roads are narrow. — @mashnets

In spring 2013 Southside Housing Association engaged erz to undertake a study of the Hartlaw Crescent area of Cardonald in Glasgow. The brief called for a masterplan for external areas that will steer future re-invigoration of the neighbourhood. The study explored the outdoor spaces in the neighbourhood with the goal of bringing them into positive use that suit the current residents - for example play, gardening, exercise, education, social events etc.
Whilst the focus was on 'green' spaces, there was a wider need to re-examine circulation, landuse and facilities that tie the entire neighbourhood together. There were therefore three distinct strands to the project; a townscape study, a community engagement and consultation process, a masterplan for the entire area.
The masterplan was well-received by the client and residents and the first phase of works was implemented in early 2015. These works focussed on one of the residents courtyards and associated entrance spaces.

Pontifical Council for Promoting the New Evangelization
Vatican launches global contest to design 2025 Jubilee Year logo
February 22, 2022 Catholic News Agency 1

Vatican City, Feb 22, 2022 / 09:00 am (CNA).
The Vatican is holding a worldwide competition to choose the official logo for the Catholic Church's 2025 Jubilee Year.
A Jubilee is a special Holy Year of grace and pilgrimage in the Catholic Church, which typically takes place every 25 years.
As preparations for the Jubilee year get underway in Rome, the Vatican's evangelization office has opened up a contest to decide the year's official logo.
The competition was announced on Feb. 22, and submissions can be uploaded to the website from April 1 to May 20.
Both teams and individuals can enter, and the winning submission will be chosen by a panel of judges from the Pontifical Council for the Promoting the New Evangelization.
The motto for the 2025 Jubilee, approved by Pope Francis, is "Pilgrims of Hope."
"The logo must portray the essence of the Jubilee event, with particular attention given to the motto," according to the submission guidelines.
The 2025 Jubilee will be the Church's first ordinary jubilee since St. John Paul II led the Great Jubilee of 2000. The Jubilee of Mercy opened by Pope Francis in 2015 was an extraordinary jubilee.
Other required features for the Holy Year's official logo are that it be original and unpublished, distinctive, adaptable to printing on different materials, and usable in both color and black and white.
The logo should also include the Latin phrases "Iubilaeum A.D. MMXXV," which means "Jubilee 2025," and "Peregrinantes in spem," which means "Pilgrims of Hope."
The Vatican's evangelization office said that the competition was "open to all" and "anyone can participate, subject to acceptance of the rules and regulations."
The pontifical council recalled that the winner of the logo contest for the Holy Year of 2000 was a 22-year-old woman studying at an art institute.
Her entry "has become part of history," it said.
"The Jubilee's logo symbolically conveys a message in an immediate and fitting way, and is an expression both of the universality of the Church's message and of the particular spiritual needs of our contemporaries, who find comfort in this message, inspired by the theme of hope," the evangelization council said.
In a letter published earlier this month, Pope Francis called for a "great symphony of prayer" ahead of the Jubilee Year in 2025.
The pope made the appeal in a Feb. 11 letter to Archbishop Rino Fisichella, president of the Pontifical Council for Promoting the New Evangelization.
"As is customary, the Bull of Indiction, to be issued in due course, will contain the necessary guidelines for celebrating the Jubilee of 2025," he wrote.
"In this time of preparation, I would greatly desire that we devote 2024, the year preceding the Jubilee event, to a great 'symphony' of prayer."
Jubilees have biblical roots, with the Hebrew Bible describing how jubilee years were held every 50 years for the freeing of slaves and forgiveness of debts as manifestations of God's mercy.
The practice was re-established in 1300 by Boniface VIII. Pilgrims to Rome were granted a plenary indulgence. Between 1300 and 2000, 29 jubilee years were held in Rome.
