Learn more about the basic characteristics of a web hosting Control Panel and the reasons why you will need one for your web site.
A Control Panel is a tool that is used to manage the content of a web hosting account. This can include, but is not limited to, files, e-mail messages, databases, statistics and different operations performed with them. The Control Panel offers a web-based interface to handle all these things and anything else associated with the Internet hosting service via different sections where you can access features through buttons and/or menus. The simpler to use a CP is, the easier it'll be for you to control your online presence in general. In the common case, the CP is the web hosting account's back office, while a different billing account is used to manage payments and domain name registrations - if the company offers this particular service. Trouble tickets could be handled through the billing account or via an independent system.
The Hepsia Control Panel, provided with our website hosting plans, isn't third-party software. It was designed by our expert developers based on user feedback and the result is an all-in-one software tool, which will allow you to control files and e-mails, to renew payments, to register domain addresses and to open trouble tickets from a single place, so you can forget about dealing with different systems to do something as basic as getting a new domain name and hosting it. We have also created detailed instructional videos, that'll show you first-hand how to carry out various things if you haven't used a hosting account before. A number of features are accessible through right-click menus and due to the fact that Hepsia is incredibly intuitive to use, administrating your account shall be as easy as administrating content on your computer system. A number of themes are available and you will be able to pick a desired language choosing among Spanish, French, Russian, German, Italian and more. What's more, you may even move the different sections around and arrange them based on your taste.

Patricia Etnel (17 juni 1976) is een Surinaams politicus. Ze is lid van de Nationale Partij Suriname (NPS) en maakte in 2015 haar entree in De Nationale Assemblée (DNA) en in 2020 werd ze herkozen.

Biografie
Etnel groeide op in Pontbuiten, een van de stadsressorten van Paramaribo. Ze is katholiek opgevoed en was als meisje misdienaar in haar kerk. Als tiener werd ze derde tijdens een Miss Teen Age Contest. Ze heeft programma's verzorgd van KBC van de omroep SRS en later bij de omroep STVS. Ze richtte op haar zestiende de Surinaamse Jongeren Organisatie op. Rond deze tijd verhuisde ze naar Charlesburg in Paramaribo. Ze studeerde bestuurskunde aan de Anton de Kom Universiteit van Suriname. Hierna volgde ze een studie governance aan het Lim A Po-instituut. Hier slaagde ze voor een mastergraad in bestuurskunde. Etnel  heeft drie zonen.

Op haar zestiende kreeg ze interesse voor de politiek nadat ze een gesprek had gehad met president Ronald Venetiaan. Zes jaar later werd ze ook zelf actief op politiek vlak. Ze las er veel over, zoals over de periode van Johan Adolf Pengel. Ze kreeg van haar moeder mee dat de revolutie, de term die aanhangers van Bouterse geven aan de staatsgreep van 1980, niets positiefs voor Suriname heeft opgeleverd. Ze werd benaderd door meerdere partijen en koos uiteindelijk voor de NPS. Ze kandideerde tijdens de verkiezingen van 2015 en werd gekozen tot lid van DNA.

In 2015 begeleidde ze het project Sterkere Gezinnen een Betere Toekomst, dat werd gestart door Gregory Rusland samen met een groep pedagogen; Rusland is naast NPS-voorzitter ook directeur van het Institute for Development Planning and Management (IDPM). Daarnaast werkt ze parttime als docent in de vakken statistiek en methoden en technieken. Ze geeft begeleiding aan studenten die zich in de eindfase van hun studie bevinden en werkt aan een proefschrift waarmee ze haar doctorstitel wil verwerven.

Tijdens de verkiezingen van 2020 werd ze herkozen voor een periode van vijf jaar in DNA.

Panel discussion of William R. White "Globalisation and the Determinants of Domestic Inflation"*
Panel discussion of William R. White "Globalisation and the Determinants of Domestic Inflation"
Presentation to the Banque de France International Symposium on Globalisation, Inflation and Monetary Policy

I would like to thank Governor Noyer and the Banque de France for organizing this stimulating conference on globalization, inflation and monetary policy. With strong global growth boosting oil, food and materials prices, the linkages between globalization and domestic inflation—one focus of Bill White's interesting paper–are very much on the minds of monetary policymakers these days. I will return to this development as I conclude my remarks.
Bill White's paper is an ambitious attempt to identify the main factors responsible for the decline in global inflation since the 1970s and the persistence of low global inflation in recent years. The stylized facts about inflation that Bill documents are striking. Over the past 25 years, the level and volatility of domestic inflation rates have declined significantly worldwide. The decline began in industrial countries in the early 1980s and then occurred in many developing countries in the 1990s. In addition, the inflation process has changed noticeably over this period. Inflation expectations have declined and become better-anchored, shocks to inflation have become less persistent, and there is less pass-through of shocks to energy and food prices and exchange rates into the overall inflation rate.
These developments raise two basic questions about the determinants of domestic inflation which Bill addresses. First, why did inflation fall in the 1980s and 1990s in so many countries? Second, is there a common factor or set of factors that explains why inflation has remained low in these countries in recent years despite, in Bill's view, increasing monetary stimulus?
Bill considers four possible explanations, finding each to have serious shortcomings.
The first explanation is "more effective central bank policy." But, in Bill's view, this does not explain why inflation fell sharply in countries with different degrees of economic and financial development, central bank independence, and exchange rate regimes. Nor does it account for why inflation has remained low recently despite accommodative monetary policy.
The second is domestic deregulation. Here he argues that it is unlikely to have been of sufficient magnitude to explain the phenomenon of sharply lower inflation worldwide, particularly since the extent of deregulation has varied across countries and has been notably lower in emerging market countries.
The third explanation is excess global saving, or, equivalently a global investment "drought." He argues that any resultant decline in aggregate demand might have been expected to lower not only inflation but also output growth, contrary to the robust growth evidenced worldwide, until this past year.
Fourth is globalization. He argues that it explains neither the sharpness with which inflation declined in the first place in the early 1980s in industrial countries, nor the long delay before inflation began to come down in emerging markets.
Because no single hypothesis adequately explains the full set of "stylized facts", Bill advocates a global aggregate demand-aggregate supply approach in which all four explanations matter to inflation to varying degrees and at varying times. Demand-side factors, driven mainly by tighter domestic monetary policy, were central to the decline of inflation in the 1980s and 1990s. Supply-side factors, associated with both domestic deregulation and globalization, as well as lower aggregate demand associated with excess global saving, all have played a role in restraining inflation more recently
I find Bill's complementary approach–giving weight to factors that are global in scope and have impacted both demand and supply—to be sensible and appealing. For the United States, I agree that all four factors are relevant to inflationary trends. That said, I would probably ascribe somewhat less importance than Bill to the role of globalization and somewhat more to effective monetary policy in explaining why inflation was tamed in the 1980s and 1990s and why it has remained low since then.
With respect to globalization, I agree with Bill that, through its effect on relative prices, globalization has created both tailwinds and headwinds for central banks in their quest for price stability. Such shocks do not, in my view, alter in the least the ability of a central bank to attain its desired inflation objective over the medium term in a flexible exchange rate regime. But they do affect inflation in the short run, and they can make the attainment of a particular inflation goal easier or more painful by impacting NAIRU, at least for a time. Increases in the prices of oil and other commodities due to strong global growth, have certainly created headwinds in recent years. In contrast, declines in the relative price of manufactured imports, due partly to the rapid expansion of capacity in China and other emerging markets, have created tailwinds that, for a time, made the Fed's job somewhat easier. The impact on inflation was similar to that associated with the pickup in productivity growth during the second half of the 1990s.
In my view, however, the impact of the tailwinds associated with global competition are frequently overstated.1 Most research to assess the magnitude of direct and indirect linkages between import prices and inflation for the U.S. and other industrial countries finds that the impact, thus far, has been surprisingly limited. For example, a 2006 IMF analysis calculates that non-oil import price reductions lowered U.S. inflation by an average of ½ percentage point a year over the period from 1997 to 2005.2 This finding is in line with an analysis at the Federal Reserve Board that estimates that lower (core) import prices reduced core U.S. inflation by an annual average of ½ to 1 percentage point over the past 10 years.3 A Fed study focusing specifically on China's impact on U.S. consumer prices also finds only modest effects—since 1993, about 0.1 percentage point per year.4 Remember that, even now, non-traded goods and services represent the large majority of U.S. domestic consumption.
Bill emphasizes, and I agree, that the effect of globalization on inflation may operate not just through import prices but also through other channels, including those relating to the labor market. Globalization has certainly enhanced the opportunities for firms to substitute imports for domestic output. And firms operating plants in several countries are increasingly able to shift production from domestic plants to those in lower-cost countries. These growing opportunities for substitution could certainly affect wage and price dynamics explaining, in particular, why the Phillips curve appears to have flattened in many industrial countries.
A review of the literature suggests that there is substantial empirical evidence that inflation in the U.S. has become less sensitive to measures of the domestic output gap.5 One possible reason is that firms have become less willing to grant wage increases that would impair their cost-competitiveness, even in the face of tight domestic labor markets. This might diminish the sensitivity of wage inflation to domestic slack. However, San Francisco Fed staff find no change in the coefficient on the unemployment rate in wage-price Phillips curve in recent years. This suggests that, insofar as globalization has flattened the price-price Phillips curve, it is more likely to have done so through changes in firms' ability to mark up costs in setting prices than through changes in the effects of domestic slack on wage growth. This finding seems consistent with recent research at the Federal Reserve Board that finds evidence that U.S. tradeable goods prices and markups are increasingly sensitive to movements in foreign prices.6
A flattening of the Phillips curve could explain why inflation has become less volatile in industrial countries. However, the finding of a flatter Phillips curve is open to differing interpretations. For example, a Board study estimates Phillips curve equations over the period 1977-2005 for 11 OECD countries and found the sensitivity of inflation to the domestic output gap has declined over time in many of the countries in the sample, but it found no evidence that this decline was attributable to globalization.7 Other studies by the OECD8 and by Larry Ball draw similar conclusions.
It is also worth considering the possibility that globalization could be holding inflation down by making workers in the U.S. and elsewhere more fearful of job loss, thus lowering wage demands. I agree with Bill that this may account for the declining wage share in output in the G-10 countries and could explain why, in the U.S. at least, there has been so little evidence of "real wage resistance" in the face of energy, food, and import price shocks. The empirical challenge is to estimate the effects of globalization through these channels when the actual substitution of inputs and outsourcing is limited, but the threat is large.
Provocative research at the BIS suggests that globalization is affecting inflation in yet another way, namely, by making domestic inflation increasingly sensitive to foreign, rather than domestic output gaps. This phenomenon could reflect an intensification of the degree of effective competition between domestic and foreign workers in the labor market due to globalization and might explain why inflation movements are so highly correlated across countries. Empirically, Borio and Filardo find that a measure of the global output gap has a significant effect on inflation in estimates of Phillips curve equations for a sample of 16 countries.9 As Bill is careful to acknowledge, however, other empirical studies have drawn different conclusions. For example, the Board study I just referred to does not find any significant effect of foreign output gaps on domestic consumer price inflation. Moreover, San Francisco Fed staff found that measures of world capacity are not significant when added to the Phillips curves that they use to forecast inflation, and that the usual measures of domestic labor and product market slack retain their significance.
As I mentioned at the outset, I probably attach more weight than would Bill to effective monetary policy in explaining why inflation was tamed in the 1980s and 1990s and why it has remained low since then. So let me turn to the two problems that Bill cites concerning the role of monetary policy in explaining the stylized facts about inflation. First, Bill said he was puzzled that such a diverse set of countries have appeared to be so successful in bringing down inflation through greater monetary policy credibility. I don't find it so puzzling.
The policy shift was in part a response to earlier adverse experiences with high and variable inflation in industrial countries in the 1970s and in many emerging markets through the 1980s. Governments in the industrial countries, including the U.S., reacted first by strengthening institutional frameworks to foster monetary stability. For example, some industrialized countries, such as New Zealand, Canada, and the UK adopted explicit inflation-targeting regimes. Others, like the US, Germany, and Japan, have used less formal, but still forceful, means to convey the significant weight they place on low inflation. Still others, such as the Southern European countries of Portugal, Italy, Spain, and Greece, succeeded in lowering inflation to meet the conditions of joining the European Monetary Union.
The later shift to lower-inflation policies in emerging market economies occurred in part because they could take advantage of low foreign inflation, in part because they could learn from successful policies elsewhere, and in part because of public dissatisfaction with inflation. Globalization of capital markets probably also strengthened the commitment of emerging market policymakers to macroeconomic stability. These countries' interest in attracting capital inflows coupled with their recognition of the potential macroeconomic damages resulting from capital flight must surely have disciplined the conduct of monetary policy. As Bill pointed out, their approaches differed. Some emerging markets first stabilized inflation by creating currency boards and credibly pegging to foreign countries; here Hong Kong in 1983 and Argentina in 1991 come to mind. Others stabilized inflation by pegging temporarily before allowing more exchange rate flexibility, as in the case of Israel in the mid-1980s and Brazil in the mid-1990s. More recently, some emerging markets have adopted inflation-targeting frameworks to provide nominal anchors: Korea in 1998, Brazil and Mexico in 1999, and Thailand in 2000 are examples.
Second, Bill said he was puzzled about why inflation has not been higher in recent years, given what he regards as accommodative monetary policies in many countries, that is, low real interest rates, rapid growth of money and credit, booming asset prices, and policy rates significantly below levels implied by Taylor rules.
I frankly don't consider this much of a puzzle at all. The stance of monetary policy must be judged not on the basis of money and credit growth but rather on the level of the real policy interest rate compared with its neutral or equilibrium value. That value can vary over time and, in my estimation, it was quite low in the United States and many other industrial countries following the bursting of the tech bubble, the collapse in investment spending, and the 2001 recession. Indeed, the Federal Reserve worried in 2003 about the possibility of deflation and the prospect of hitting the "zero bound," a situation that research shows is best avoided by cutting rates early and substantially. A decline in the estimated equilibrium real rate coupled with a desire to use policy aggressively to avoid the zero bound, explain why, in the United States, the policy rate may have fallen below levels implied by Taylor rules. As Bill details, many emerging market economies experienced a savings glut, or more accurately, an investment drought, in the aftermath of the financial crises of the late 1990s and the subsequent tech bust. Such drags on aggregate demand necessitated low real interest rates to offset them, and the boom in housing, which occurred not only in the United States but around the globe, provided an offset to restraint in other components of aggregate demand.
During the past few years, strong global growth has diminished slack in labor markets around the world and pushed up energy and commodity prices. From the U.S. standpoint, whatever tailwinds may have resulted from falling non-commodity import prices waned as the dollar declined. Even so, core inflation in the United States and most other industrial countries has remained reasonably well contained. Bill credits supply-side factors associated with both domestic deregulation and globalization in holding down inflation. I consider it a mistake, however, to downplay the role of monetary policy, in particular its credibility. In the U.S. case, it is the credibility of monetary policy that, in my view, has helped to insure that the inflation shocks resulting from energy, food, materials, and exchange rates do not spill over into inflation expectations and wage setting, and thus have only transitory effects. Credibility accounts for why inflation appears generally to have become less persistent. Households and firms believe that such shocks will not be allowed to feed into further increases in inflation, so inflation expectations have become better anchored. Indeed, much research documents that movements in energy prices have had far smaller effects on core inflation since the mid- 1980s, and the most compelling reason for this shift is the credibility of monetary policy.
Let me conclude by looking forward, offering my personal assessment of where domestic inflation is heading in the U.S. Recent inflation performance has certainly been disappointing and the disappointments stem largely from strong global headwinds. Rising food and energy prices have boosted the total PCE price index by 3.7% over the past 12 months and 5.4 percent during the past three. Excluding food and energy, the core PCE price index is still up 2.2 percent over the past 12 months, an outcome that partly reflects pass-through from the drop in the dollar. Even so, I expect both total and core inflation to moderate over the next few years, edging down to under 2 percent, an outcome that is broadly consistent with my interpretation of the Fed's price stability mandate. And I see the risks to this outcome as roughly balanced.
My forecast of moderating inflation assumes that labor compensation will continue to grow, as it has in recent years, at a reasonably modest pace. This in turn assumes that inflation expectations will remain well-anchored, as they have been, and also that workers will not through their bargaining offset the real losses resulting from higher food and energy prices. It importantly assumes that energy and food prices will stabilize near their current levels so that the inflationary impetus from these sources will dissipate over time. Bill rightly points out that these assumptions cannot be taken for granted. Rising food and energy prices have lowered the purchasing power of the median worker and, as Bill comments, some "pushback" could occur. The expectation that energy prices will stabilize near their current levels is consistent with futures prices, but such expectations have been dashed many times over the past few years. With respect to inflation expectations, Bill rightly cautions that "the experience of past errors should not be forgotten today when it is once again being suggested that inflation expectations are sticky (now at low levels)." I agree that the Fed certainly cannot afford to take for granted that inflation expectations will remain well-anchored.
At the same time, there are downside inflationary pressures relating to the slowdown in the U.S. economy. Bill notes, and I agree, that the U.S. economy is particularly exposed to downside risks from the unwinding of the housing bubble and disruptions in financial markets. There is some slack now in the U.S. labor market and, if these downside economic risks materialize, quite a bit more slack could emerge. Even with a flatter Phillips curve, such a development would place some downward pressure on inflation. It is this unpleasant combination of risks to both inflation and employment that the FOMC must balance as it assesses the appropriate path for monetary policy going forward.

Helping hand: Good languages assessment
Research 13 Jun 2013 6 minute read
Effective assessment tools provide a helping hand for second language teachers and that's good news in any language, as Bernadette Brouwers explains.
In the busy world of day-to-day school life, teachers can sometimes feel that assessment is simply an additional burden to their already crowded days of lesson preparation, teaching and attending meetings. Further to this, language teachers often have the additional pressure of promoting their subject in the context of competing curriculum demands.
So, why should we make time for and, indeed, ensure that a good variety of assessments are thoroughly integrated into our teaching and learning programs in languages? There are many reasons. Not least, good assessment allows us to gauge exactly what students know and understand, and what students can do. Good assessment identifies learning problems and gaps in student learning. Good assessment also provides a mechanism for us to reflect on the effectiveness of our teaching and learning program and make adjustments to improve the teaching and learning opportunities for our students.
The Assessment of Language Competence (ALC) tests, developed by the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER), provide valuable support to teachers in doing all of the above. From its early days as the Australian Language Certificates, the ALC project has grown into an internationally recognised suite of second language tests designed to assist teachers in making assessments of their students in primary and secondary schools. As a reflection of its wider impact, the ALC is now known as the Assessment of Language Competence tests.
What is the ALC?
The ALC comprises listening and reading tests in seven languages which are offered at three competency levels: Certificate 1 (listening only) for students who have completed between approximately 80 to 100 hours of prior learning; Certificate 2 (listening and reading) for students who have completed between approximately 100 to 200 hours of prior learning; and Certificate 3 (listening and reading) for students who have completed between approximately 200 to 300 hours of prior learning.
The languages offered are French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Spanish and Chinese. Recent feedback has suggested that there may be interest in a future test for Arabic.
Tests are not tied to a particular curriculum framework so as to provide access to students across a wide variety of school programs.
What do the tests look like?
ALC tests focus on the receptive skills of listening and reading. Each certificate level includes 28 multiple-choice questions in the listening section and 32 multiple-choice questions in the reading section. The tests are enhanced with lively graphics, where appropriate.
While the tests will eventually be administered online, they are currently provided in pen-and-paper format and include a CD for the listening component.
How are the tests developed?
Expert writers are employed by ACER to develop an entirely new bank of items from year to year. Writers have both expertise in the language of the test and extensive experience in language assessment. The item development process takes place via a wiki and items are intensively vetted along the way. Once the items have been finalised, the draft tests are subject to a process of second vetting, proofreading and trialling before reaching the final printing stage. What do the test items look like?
All ALC test items are multiple-choice. While the texts are all in the target language, items are generally in English at Certificate 1 level although there are a number of items in the target language at Certificate 2 and Certificate 3 levels. Writers develop authentic texts and questions based around a wide variety of topics relevant to young people's interests. Test items cover a broad range of item intents and allow for the assessment of more literal skills such as locating a single piece of information within a text to asking students to identify the main idea in a text or infer details. Figure 1 illustrates a typical item at Certificate 2 level.
How are the tests administered?
Schools register their students for the tests. At the time of registration, schools can also purchase a School Report and a copy of the Voice CD Transcripts. A Teacher Handbook is also provided to schools at no cost and is available on the ALC project website. An annotated sample of the School Report is shown in Figure 2.
All test materials are despatched to schools at least one week before the test dates. Answer sheets are returned to ACER for processing and results are sent to schools.
What will the test results tell me?
Once results have been processed, all students receive an individual Student Certificate showing their results for both listening and reading at High Distinction, Distinction, Credit or Participation band level.
The ALC School Report provides an insight into student and cohort or group performance in the areas of Listening and Reading for each language and level for which the school is registered. Comparative data on cohort performance against other schools is also provided in band levels.
Schools can ask a range of questions to help them best use the data available in the School Reports. Questions may relate to performance at individual student, class or whole-school level. Schools may also examine performance in the skill areas of listening and reading or make comparisons across languages.
How can and do schools use the ALC?
Schools use the ALC tests for a number of reasons. Some schools use the ALC as an informal mechanism to benchmark their students in a wider group, while other schools use the data as an integral part of their annual whole-school data collection on student performance.
Many schools find that the ALC helps in promoting language learning in their school community and distribute ALC Student Certificates at major school assemblies. ALC results are also published in school newsletters.
The ALC provides schools with a long-standing and highly respected tool to support good assessment in second language programs.

The Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect represents the relatively higher temperatures found in urban areas compared to surrounding rural areas owing to higher proportions of impervious surfaces and the release of waste heat from vehicles and heating and cooling systems. Paved surfaces and built structures tend to absorb shortwave radiation from the sun and release long-wave radiation after a lag of a few hours. The Global Urban Heat Island (UHI) Data Set, 2013, estimates the land surface temperature within urban areas in degrees Celsius (average summer daytime maximum and average summer nighttime minimum) as well as the difference between those temperatures and the temperatures in surrounding rural areas, defined as a 10km buffer around the urban extent. Urban extents are from SEDAC's Global Rural-Urban Mapping Project, Version 1 (GRUMPv1), and land surface temperatures are from SEDAC's Global Summer Land Surface Temperature (LST) Grids, 2013, which are derived from the Aqua Level-3 Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Version 5 global daytime and nighttime Land Surface Temperature (LST) 8-day composite data (MYD11A2). For most regions, the UHI data set provides the average daytime maximum (1:30 p.m. overpass) and average nighttime minimum (1:30 a.m. overpass) temperatures in urban and rural areas, and the urban-rural temperature differences, derived from LST data representing a 40-day time-span during July-August (Julian days 185-224) in the northern hemisphere and January-February (Julian days 001-040) in the southern hemisphere. LST grid cells with missing values resulting from high cloud cover in tropical regions were filled with daytime maximum and nighttime minimum LST values from April-May 2013 in the northern hemisphere and December 2013-January 2014 in the southern hemisphere, where available. Some data gaps remain in areas where data were insufficient (e.g., Central Africa).

A 20-year-old rapper was killed by six police officers who found him asleep at the wheel in a Taco Bell drive-thru line Saturday night.
Vallejo Police in California fired "multiple rounds" at Willie McCoy, known as Willie Bo, after they woke him up and he "quickly reached" for his handgun.
NBC news Reported, Vallejo, California Police, said in a news release that the six officers shot "multiple rounds" at the driver — identified by his family as Willie McCoy, 20 — in the span of four seconds Saturday night in a Taco Bell parking lot. It's unclear how many bullets struck McCoy, but his family said they believe at least 20 may have hit his car based on the number of holes that witnesses counted at the scene.
A .40 caliber semi-automatic handgun with an extended magazine was recovered from McCoy's car afterwards, police said in a statement.
The Handgun found was reported stolen out of Oregon, authorities also said.
Willie Bo had amassed hundreds of thousands of views on his rap music videos on YouTube.

About Memory Loss
Meet our team: Michael Burt, Dietary Aide
A high school senior, Michael Burt works part time at Bridges by EPOCH at Hingham as a dietary aide. This means he helps make the most of our residents' dining experience. He serves them dinner as he catches up with them about their day, gets them anything they need and helps keep the dining room and kitchen in tip-top shape. But like so many members of our team, Michael is always ready and willing to help out wherever it's needed and enjoys connecting with residents on a personal level.
Also like many of our team members, Michael has been with our community from the beginning, highlighting the passion and commitment each and every staff member has for our residents – from our part-time high school employees all the way up to our directors.
Michael says his favorite part about working at Bridges is the opportunity to interact with the residents, each of whom has their own, unique story. Particularly in a memory care community, the daily pace is fast and unpredictable, something that appeals to the ambitious teen.
"Every day there's a different experience. I never wanted a job that's the same every day. Here, there's always a different story, and interacting with the residents always has so many possibilities. It's always a new challenge, a new learning experience," Michael said.
When asked what working with people with memory impairment has taught him, Michael said, "My patience has improved a lot. It's helped me look at situations from different angles – seeing things from their perspective and not just mine."
At Bridges, we're happy that we're helping the younger generation develop a greater understanding of memory impairment and sympathy for individuals and families coping with it. Seeing the compassion and commitment of our young workers at Bridges, we know the next generation of leaders in memory care will be exceptional.
After Michael graduates high school in spring 2015, he plans to get a business degree. An avid skier, he hopes to move west for college. We know Michael will be a great leader someday, and we're lucky to count him as part of our team.

Gores Holdings IV, Inc.
Oct 19, 2020 by Roman Developer
PROPOSED BUSINESS COMBINATION: United Wholesale Mortgage ("UWM")
EQUITY VALUE: $16.1 billion
ANTICIPATED SYMBOL: UWMC
Gores Holdings IV, Inc. proposes to combine with United Wholesale Mortgage ("UWM"). UWM is the largest wholesale mortgage originator in the United States with nearly 7,000 dedicated team members. UWM's differentiated business model focuses exclusively on providing wholesale mortgage clients superior service through proprietary technology that enables them to process mortgage applications at faster speeds and provide lower rates than competitors.
Upon completion of the proposed transaction, the combined company will operate under the UWM name and the Class A common stock will be listed on NASDAQ under the new ticker symbol "UWMC." The transaction values UWM at approximately $16.1 billion, or 9.5x the Company's estimated 2021 Adjusted Net Income of approximately $1.7 billion.
Along with approximately $425 million in cash held in Gores Holdings IV's trust account, additional investors have committed to participate in the proposed business combination via a $500 million private placement, led by Alec Gores, Chairman and CEO of The Gores Group, and including large institutional investors.
Post-transaction, including the private placement, the current owners of UWM will retain approximately 94% ownership of the combined company. The existing management team, led by long-standing President and CEO Mat Ishbia, will continue to lead the business.
The proposed business combination is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2020 and upon closing, the name of Gores Holdings IV will be changed to UWM Corporation.
At the Closing, a series of transactions will occur, including the following:
(a) UWM LLC will issue to SFS Corp. a number of UWM Class B Common Units equal to the quotient of the Company Equity Value divided by $10.00, minus the number of outstanding shares of Class F Common Stock of the Company as of immediately prior to Closing;
(b) the Company will contribute to UWM LLC an amount in cash equal to the Closing Cash Consideration, which is expected to be approximately $895,000,000 assuming no redemptions by the Company's stockholders;
(c) UWM LLC will issue to the Company the number of UWM Class A Common Units equal to the number of issued and outstanding shares of the Class A Common Stock as of immediately prior to the Closing; and
(d) the Company will issue to SFS Corp. a number of shares of the Class D Common Stock equal to the number of UWM Class B Common Units issued by UWM LLC to SFS Corp. pursuant to clause (a) above.
The Company Equity Value is defined in the Business Combination Agreement as $16,052,000,000 minus
(i) Available Cash, minus
(ii) an amount, if any, by which Closing Cash is less than the Closing Cash Target, plus
(iii) an amount, if any, by which Closing Cash exceeds the Closing Cash Target, which for purposes of clause (iii) shall not exceed $200,000,000.
In addition to the consideration to be paid at the Closing, SFS Corp. will be entitled to receive an additional number of earn-out shares from the Company, issuable in shares of Class D Common Stock and UWM Class B Common Units
If the price of the Company's Class A Common Stock exceeds certain thresholds during the five-year period following the Closing.
The maximum number of shares to be issued in connection with the earn-out will not exceed 6% of the Company Equity Value, divided by $10.00, assuming each of the price thresholds is achieved during the earn-out period.
An aggregate of 50,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock in a private placement for $10.00 per share (the "Private Placement").
The proceeds from the Private Placement will be used to partially fund the cash consideration to be paid to UWM LLC at the Closing.
EARNOUT
Following the Closing and until the date that is five (5) years after the Closing Date, as additional consideration for the Transaction, UWM LLC and GHIV shall issue, upon the occurrence of any Triggering Event, additional UWM Class B Common Units and GHIV Class D Common Stock, if any, to SFS Corp. as follows:
(i) a number of UWM Class B Common Units and shares of GHIV Class D Common Stock, in each case equal to
(A) one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the Company Equity Value, divided by
(B) $10.00 (the "First Level Contingent Consideration"), if the GHIV VWAP is greater than or equal to $13.00 over any ten (10) trading days within any thirty (30) trading day period (the "First Triggering Event");
(ii) a number of UWM Class B Common Units and shares of GHIV Class D Common Stock, in each case equal to
(B) $10.00 (the "Second Level Contingent Consideration"), if the GHIV VWAP is greater than or equal to $15.00 over any ten (10) trading days within any thirty (30) trading day period (the "Second Triggering Event");
(iii) a number of UWM Class B Common Units and shares of GHIV Class D Common Stock, in each case equal to
(B) $10.00 (the "Third Level Contingent Consideration"), if the GHIV VWAP is greater than or equal to $17.00 over any ten (10) trading days within any thirty (30) trading day period (the "Third Triggering Event"); and
(iv) a number of UWM Class B Common Units and shares of GHIV Class D Common Stock, in each case equal to
(B) $10.00 (the "Fourth Level Contingent Consideration" and, together with the First Level Contingent Consideration, the Second Level Contingent Consideration and the Third Level Contingent Consideration, the "Contingent Consideration") if the GHIV VWAP is greater than or equal to $19.00 over any ten (10) trading days within any thirty (30) trading day period (the "Fourth Triggering Event".

NOTABLE CONDITIONS TO TERMINATION
By written consent of the Company, SFS Corp. and UWM LLC if the transactions have not been consummated by March 31, 2021 and the delay in closing beyond such date is not due to the breach of the Business Combination Agreement by the party seeking to terminate.

        }
    }
}
?>

А вот js

Подскажите как получить ответ от сервера отправка идет успешно а вот получить не могу и данные в БД приходят если все правильно ввел. Зарание всем спасибо.
A: А что вы собираетесь принимать, если сервер не только не возвращает никаких данных, но еще и вместо обычного успешного выполнения "202 OK" выдает редирект, по умолчанию "302 Found"? Ошибки при этом не возникает, но и никакого ответа в success вы не дождетесь.
$.ajax({

  ............

  statusCode: {
    302: function() {
      alert( "redirect" );
    }
  }
});

A: *

*$_SESSION используешь не по назначению.

*нет echo, нет передачи нормального response

*Json (опкод твоего контроллера + данные) отдавай в js controller клиента в качестве ответа со стороны php контроллера на сервере, получится нормальный ajax.
Посмотри примеры:

Is Spain going on the red list? Government update to traffic light system for travel
Travellers to red list countries will have to pay up to £2,285 to stay in a quarantine hotel
Spain is not set to move to the red list in the latest Government changes to the travel traffic light system, despite recent fears.
The country will remain on the amber list, but the Government is urging travellers to Spain to take a PCR test before they fly home.
Bahrain, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates are being moved from the red list to the amber list as part of the changes, which come into effect from 4am on August 8.

Fully vaccinated travellers to Spain will continue to be able to return to England without having to book a pricey stay at a quarantine hotel.
Quarantine hotel costs are soaring to "better reflect the increased costs involved", according to the Government.
From August 12 the rate for solo travellers in quarantine hotels will rise to £2,285, while adults sharing will be charged £1,430.

Why is Turkey on red list?
Don't wear shorts on planes
New 'green list' countries
Dress code for flights
While travellers from Spain will not need to fork out these costs, the Department for Transport has now said that holidaymakers from Spain and its islands are advised to use a PCR test as their pre-departure test, instead of the cheaper lateral flow tests.
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said the Government is not changing the rules, but rather "mentioning" that the PCR tests are "helpful" for scientists and clinicians in the UK and Spain to monitor variants.
Despite prior fears that case numbers could land Spain on the high-risk list, the country has seen a significant drop in Beta cases, a variant which ministers believe may be more resistant to vaccines.
There are also concerns there are not enough hotel rooms in England to quarantine returning holidaymakers.

How sweet is this 90th birthday!

Marge Hahnenberg celebrated her 90th birthday Friday with a surprise party with family and friends — and almost all of the members from the Midland Chapter Sweet Adelines Chorus, now the Tri-City Chapter. The party was at her daughter Marji Noesen's home.
As Hahnenberg approached the door of her daughter Marji Noesen's home, her son said, "Why don't you go first?" Hahnenberg thought it a little odd, but said sure. "What a surprise to see my old friends — to walk in and see almost all of them here."
Hahnenberg is the founder of the Sweet Adelines Chorus chapter in Midland, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary. She also has been in a number of Sweet Adelines chapters, and has performed with Sweet Adelines choruses for 45 years. Hahnenberg says the new Midland chapter attracted talented women. "Midland's a wonderful place to live," she said.
In addition to singing, Hahnenberg also designed and sewed costumes for the group to wear at performances. Now she watches the performances and attends rehearsals once in a while to see old friends, but treasures all the years of performing. "It was a wonderful time of our lives," she said.
The women in the group had a lot of parties and invited their husbands so they could get to know each other, too.
Along with having fun, the group was also competitive. While frequently performing in the Midland area, the group has taken home first place in several regional competitions. The group also performed at Carnegie Hall.
For Friday's party, Hahnenberg's chorus friends serenaded her and put on a luncheon with cake and ice cream. Hahnenberg opened and passed around her birthday cards.
While there is a common bond of singing, the members say the Midland chapter was unique in that they all became like sisters. Outside of rehearsals they still get together for lunch on a monthly basis.
Jeannette Beegle of Midland says she has known Marge since the early 1960s. Through their friendship, Beegle joined the Sweet Adelines Chorus.
Jan Northup of Midland joined the chorus in 1964 and was also involved in quartets. She thought it was wonderful seeing almost everyone in the group at the party. Northup says the birthday card she gave Hahnenberg sums up their relationship: We'll be old friends until we're old and senile, and then we'll be new friends. She says, at 90, Marge is still "sharp as a tack."
"Hopefully I'll make it to 100," said Hahnenberg. "But I'll take it one year at a time," she added.
Reflecting on the years, any advice for younger folks?
"Enjoy life. Keep a positive attitude. Do things in moderation, like drinking, eating. Make the most of each day. Be happy," Hahnenberg said.
Hahnenberg plans to spend the next year reading and spending time with her daughter, son, and husband William of 69 years, as well as her six grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild.
