Authorizing Legislation: Public Law 109–145
Lyndon Baines "LBJ" Johnson was born August 27, 1908, in central Texas. He graduated from Southwest Texas State Teachers College (now Texas State University-San Marcos).
Johnson successfully campaigned for the U.S. House of Representatives in 1937 where he served six terms before moving on to serve 12 years in the U.S. Senate.
Johnson became the nation's 37th vice president in 1961. He had held that office for less than three years, when John F. Kennedy's assassination thrust him into the presidency. During a joint session of Congress to present his plans for leading the nation after Kennedy's death, he said, "All that I have I would have given gladly not to be standing here today."
During his administration, President Johnson promoted his vision of "The Great Society" and tackled issues such as poverty, inequality in education, voting rights and conservation. However, it was the conflict between North and South Vietnam that took center stage both at home and abroad.
Additional highlights of Johnson's presidency include:
Passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and the Open Housing Act of 1968
Passage of legislation creating the National Endowments for the Arts and Humanities and the National Endowment for the Humanities
Passage of the Highway Safety Act
Passage of the Public Broadcasting Act
Passage of Social Security Act 1965, which created the Medicare and Medicaid programs
Apollo 8, the first manned spacecraft to orbit the moon
Coinage legislation enacted during presidency:
Coinage Act of 1965: Amended the act of 1792, eliminated silver from the dime, and quarter and substantially reducing the amount of silver in the half-dollar.

Pokémon Go Lucky Pokémon looks like another type of Pokémon to look out for - joining Shinies and Forms such as Alolan Pokémon.
Lucky Pokémon have been confirmed by Niantic, and will be coming to the game very soon.
If a Pokémon is Lucky, then the Stardust required to power it up is reduced. The exact figure isn't confirmed, but based on leaks so far (by Chrales, via reddit) suggests it is 50%. The feature is particularly welcome as Stardust and Candy are among the more scarce resources in the game, especially at high level play, allowing creatures to reach maximum CP much easier.
Whether the status is permanent. A decline in Stardust cost for powering up is generous, but whether being Lucky is a be a permanent status, or something that only lasts for a limited amount of time, is unknown.
Can a Pokémon be Shiny and Lucky? Since Lucky Pokémon aren't a 'form', then this is possible - but we don't know for sure.
When the Lucky Pokémon feature goes live and the community experiments with the feature, we'll know more about the specific chance rate.
When is the Lucky Pokémon release date?
Niantic has confirmed the existance of Lucky Pokemon, and has released app updates for both iOS and Android with the feature.
When is it likely to go up? Certainly by the end of this week (Friday July 27th), but it'll likely be before then. Niantic events usually start and end at 9pm UK time, which could also be when Niantic will flick the switch.
This update also comes with a number of other features, including filter options for the Friends list and the ability to give nicknames, tweaks to Gifts (200XP for each one sent, and the ability to delete unwanted gifts), being able to search for Traded Pokémon in your Pokémon Box, and see the time remaining on in-progress raids.

"Acting has been the best experience of my life" – Actress Chitragandha Singh.
By Neeru Saluja
I came to interview actress Chitragandha Singh and left knowing a woman of substance, who is beautiful from inside and outside. The dusky beauty who has recently turned 40, has an intelligent head on her shoulders while making the right choices in the industry.
Actress Chitragandha Singh was in Sydney recently for a meet and greet organised by Friends India Entertainment and Anuj Kulshreshtha. Before she headed for the meet and greet, we got a chance to have an exclusive interview with her. Looking stunning from head to toe in a dress styled by designer Esha Amin, Chitragandha talked about her journey, juggling motherhood and the choices she has made in her career since her debut film Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi in 2003.
As we start the conversation, we discover this is not her first visit to Australia and she loves travelling. "I came to Australia 10 years ago, and my first landing was in Perth which was breathtaking. Melbourne was winter to summer and summer to winter, so Sydney is my favourite city in Australia.
"When I was told about this event, the first feeling was very heart warming. There are people here who love what we do, and acknowledge what we do. However cliché it sounds, it means a lot to us. I feel indebted for that kind of love and whatever little work I have done. We keep going to Dubai and Bangkok for work but I have never come this far for a professional commitment," says Chitragandha.
While we talk about her journey from India to Australia, we also ask her about her Bollywood journey. "It's been an interesting yet fulfilling journey in Bollywood since my debut. I never planned to be an actor, it just happened. Many times personal commitments have taken priority over my professional commitments, because of which I have been in and out of work. Saying that, this has been the best experience of my life. I'm so lucky to get the second chance to work in the industry, the comeback has been beautiful. I'm humbled to get the acknowledgement" tells Chitragandha.
She is also one of the actresses who took a four year sabbatical at the peak of her career to enjoy motherhood. How does she do the juggling act? "There are good days, there are bad days. I had my son and then took a sabbatical for four years. All women are doing the balancing act. It's become normal now. I'm very fortunate that instead of a 9 to 5 job, I can choose my films according to my schedule. There is a gradual change in the society and that's why the industry is changing. You are not looking for the 'virgin' in the heroine and neither vamps exist anymore. Bollywood is now accepting female leads in films" acclaims the actress.
Saying that, you have portrayed very strong characters in Sudhir Mishra's films – Hazaaron Khawaishen, Inkaar and Yeh Saali Zindagi. Do you think Sudhir Mishra brings the best out of you? "Absolutely. Sudhir Mishra brings out the best out of a woman character. He has the talent to understand a woman without judging a woman. The way he writes the script for a female character is amazing. He doesn't write them black and white. He's definitely given me my best parts. There is no second question about that."
Her film 'Inkaar' was a breakthrough film dealing with sexual harassment. 'Maya' stood up for what was right and so has she with her recent choices. Do you relate to the character? "I'm so much like her. She was strong but was extremely vulnerable and that's how she got pushed into what she did. She wasn't the cold and practical woman, she was emotional and vulnerable. That's what I relate to as a woman. She was so affected by that man that she makes the decision" says Chitragandha.
Talking about being strong, you were recently in the news for walking out of Kushan Nandy's film with actor Nawazuddin because of an intimate scene. "It was very unfortunate. Nawaz is a brilliant actor and I would have loved to work with him. I had prepared for the role and even did a few workshops. But it's sad when your director sees things in a different way and you see things in a different way. I didn't want to be pushed and get bullied into to it. You can't get bullied into things," asserts Chitragandha.
If not this incident, what would you term as your most difficult struggle? "To be able to experiment with different things has been a struggle. Whatever you get introduced with in the industry, that image stays with you for a long time. People box you in that kind of character and perceive that you can only do these kind of roles. But I'm talking about the time of around 15 years ago when I made my debut. Things are changing now, and I'm getting offers from both parallel and commercial cinema," tells the beautiful actress.
On a glamourous note, the actress was also here to judge a fashion designer show in Melbourne and we wanted to know if she was a fashionista and if she could share a few fashion tips! "I don't think I follow fashion that much and follow trends. Honestly I'm not a trendsetter! But as any woman I do enjoy fashion. It's definitely not ruling my day. Keep it simple, don't overdo things, and don't carry the bling if it doesn't suit. Don't let fashion wear you, wear what suits you. Nothing is more attractive than confidence. It's very important to feel comfortable and confident in what you wear than watching your toes and back all the time," advises the fashionable actress.

With the object of bringing the scheme more into line with the developments and prospective developments of the Bank, and to bring about the grading of Branches which could not be affected at the time the scheme was adopted, the Chairman and General Manager, after giving careful consideration to the matter, submit proposals to give affect thereto.

Android updates: How to update Google, Samsung, and OnePlus Phones
Realme Narzo 50A & C35
Realme has been relatively silent in recent weeks. Likely which could indicate that the company has been developing on several handsets under wraps. The business recently announced that it will soon debut an expensive flagship device, which was later revealed to be the Realme GT 2 Pro, the counterpart to the Realme GT.
In any case, this expensive flagship is unlikely to be released this month because the phone must first pass a slew of inspections. Two low-cost phones – the Realme Narzo 50A Prime and Realme C35 – are possible.
Both the Narzo 50A Prime and the C35 are rumoured to be upgrades of the 50 and C series, respectively. However, expect entry-level specs with large batteries as the main feature.

After its original European launch, the Snapdragon 888+ based Moto G200 5G is scheduled to arrive in India. The premium device is expected to be reasonably priced in the region. The specific launch date is unknown, but it is expected to appear this month.

Sales Superstar Going to the Competition?
A client asks, "One of the sales representatives on my staff is a superstar whose revenue generation far exceeds any of the other salespeople. While I appreciate their stellar performance, there is a downside: they periodically threaten to go to the competition. Do you have any suggestions on how to handle this situation?"
Having a sales superstar on staff has many advantages. They are able to open new accounts, substantially increase sales revenue within current accounts, and serve as motivation to others on the sales team. As many business executives have found out, however, their super-sized sales production often requires super-sized management. Here are some tips on managing the superstar more effectively.
Think back to when most of the conversations about going to the competition have occurred. Do they take place at the end or beginning of the year, during slow periods, or right after they close a big sale? Could it be right after you hire a new sales representative or give them their annual review? Do they bring up any other subjects? Going through this exercise might help you to see some patterns.
Set up a time to speak with them during a relatively calm period in your company's business cycle and not when they have just threatened to go to the competition. Ask them what they need to be happier and more productive at your company. Make a list of their suggestions and requests. Take all of the requests seriously but do not make any promises or immediately say "no" to anything they ask for – no matter how outrageous something may seem. Read the requests back to them and ask them to rank those requests in the order of importance. Thank them for their candor and then schedule a follow-up meeting right then and there.
Divide their requests into two categories: monetary and non-monetary. To be sure, most of their requests will be monetary, but others may surprise you and not involve compensation. Are they upset about their title or the fact that you have vetoed their request, which they feel would bring in a lot of business, to golf on Wednesday afternoons? Would a special parking place make them happy? Do they want more or less involvement with the new sales representatives? Have you begun to take their stellar performance for granted and not given them the recognition they deserve?
Rather than say "no" to the upgraded company car or the President's Club trip to Portugal outright, get out your calculator, determine the real costs, and see what you can do. If you consider their monetary requests outrageous, set some high-level goals for them. If they can increase sales to Company X by 25%, you might be only too happy to buy them a couple of plane tickets to Portugal. If they can convince Company Y to buy from you instead of the competition, the idea of leasing a Lexus for them might be a lot more attractive.
Use the possibility of the other sales representatives coming to you and complaining about the superstar's preferential treatment as an opportunity to set some high goals for them too. Have some fun with it. Tell them that if they were to achieve a 30% increase in their territory, you will be happy to send them on a trip to the Bahamas and will personally drive them to the airport to catch their flight!
If you feel you have done everything to accommodate your superstar and they are still threatening to go to the competition, it's time to get a little tougher. Ask them questions such as: "Have you formally met with the competition?" "How do they compare with us culturally?" "Have they in fact offered you a position?" "What appeals to you about their company?" "Will you be their top producer?" "What if things don't work out?" A conversation like this should tell you how serious they are about leaving.
Regardless of whether you have this conversation with your superstar, if the departure of key employees to the competition puts your business at risk, you should have your attorney draft a non-competition agreement to protect your business from such an eventuality. Then have all your key employees sign it.
Superstars sometimes leave no matter what you do. Make sure that you are accompanying them on visits to their largest accounts on a regular basis (see "Meeting Customers is Critical for Executives," May 2005) and have a contingency plan in the event that they do resign. Think about who on your staff would be able and willing to handle their accounts.
Discussions with the staff superstar can be a nerve-wracking event for many people. Instead of avoiding them altogether, which may lead to an unnecessary resignation, prepare for them as you would a major presentation and they will be much more productive and much less stressful.

Check out the advantages and disadvantages of living in a tiny house before you commit to one.
• It is possible to build a comfortable shelter quickly and affordably to begin living mortgage-free.
• Starting with a tiny house is good building practice for larger projects.
• It easy to find building materials on Craigslist since only small quantities are needed.
• Because of the close quarters, we've learned to communicate in a way that gets to the heart of what we need.
• Not needing to pay a mortgage frees up the time to do the work of homesteading.
• Living tiny while slowly building a main house allows for the time to find and include salvaged materials.
• The lessons learned while living tiny will inform the design and efficiency of any future builds.
• No room for solitude.
• Noise. You can build cabinets and get rid of stuff to make it work physically, but noise is noise, and with two young kids in 168 square feet it gets pretty noisy.
• Trying to cook a big meal is tricky. We store baking pans in the oven, so when we use the oven, the baking pans have to go somewhere. Usually, they go in the shower.
• Having houseguests is a difficult proposition. When someone is sleeping on the couch, I have to use the shower for my office.
Preserving food, like meat, is a survival skill you may need to know.

Eat, drink and shop your life away at the dozens of Danish shops and centers throughout the city. Each district holds true to its own style and characteristic.
Norrebro provides a multicultural feel while Orestad is appreciated for its waterfront location and amazing architecture. Make sure to check out each city area and discover your favorite part of Copenhagen!

The KCCure Kidney Cancer Patient Advisory Board is a national board of patient advocates who represent the diverse community of patients, caregivers and stakeholders impacted by this disease.
In 2015, Debra was diagnosed with RCC after a CT scan revealed several masses in both her right and left kidneys. Her mother was treated for kidney cancer in 2000 and two of her aunts have been diagnosed with bilateral oncocytomas. Her maternal grandmother died of renal failure possibly as a result of untreated kidney tumors. Debra went to several different medical centers before having a robotically assisted laparoscopic partial nephrectomy at the NIH. After surgery it was determined that she suffers from a very rare genetic disorder, Familial Renal Oncocytomas. She has participated in several different studies and is currently a patient in active surveillance at Johns Hopkins.
She began her career as an insurance sales agent in Northern NJ and then went back to school to become a certified school librarian. She currently works at Morristown High School in Morristown, NJ and is also an adjunct professor in the Educational & Human Services Dept. of Seton Hall Univ. She serves as the social media mentor for Curious Science Writers. Additionally, she is a member of the Morristown Planning Board, has served as chair of the Morristown Environmental Comm. and was recently appointed to the NJ State Planning Officials Board of Trustees. She was formerly the chair of the BirthCenter at the Beth patients advisory council and was president of the northern NJ branch of the International Cesarean Awareness Network.
Mike was diagnosed with stage III Renal Cell Carcinoma in November, 1997 underwent a complete radical nephrectomy and was given a hopeful five years of survivorship. After developing metastatic disease in 2000, he received low and later high dose IL-2 therapy, underwent several surgeries, and received long-term treatment with Sutent. In 2016 he began a series of infusions of Opdivo and has had stable disease with no additional treatment for over a year.
Kidney cancer impacted my life when my brother Herman, was diagnosed with a very rare type of it – Renal Medullary Carcinoma – five years ago in April 2012. I could never forget that day the doctors met with him & my mom to tell him that there was nothing they could do for him. I refused to believe that Herman was going to die. As I stayed up night after night searching for answers and being led down lots of dead ends I realized that someone had to speak up about this. Over the past five years, I have been contacted by countless people who have traveled the same road as us. Many of them never got the chance to begin treatment because, by the time they were diagnosed, it was too late. It made me realize that just because RMC is considered rare, doesn't mean we are invisible. Many people are young, distraught, and are afraid to speak up. I made a promise to Herman that I would fight not only for him, but for others too. It's a promise that I have strived to keep.
Out of this struggle, R.M.C. (Renal Medullary Carcinoma) Inc. www.rmcsupport.org was established in 2013, with the purpose to raise awareness of an extremely rare and devastating kidney cancer that primarily affects those with the sickle cell trait. Social Media sites have been developed, and we refer patients diagnosed or having symptoms of RMC to specialists. Through our efforts and those of other organizations and a team of worldwide healthcare professionals the RMC Alliance has been created to raise awareness, collect information, and to promote research of this rare and deadly cancer.
Laura is a survivor of papillary renal cell carcinoma. She is an advocate of clinical trials and patient access to quality healthcare. Laura owes her life to the phenomenal medical professionals who have been instrumental to her recovery. She was diagnosed in May 2016 as a stage IV patient, just a few days after her birthday. Laura underwent a radical nephrectomy and then enrolled in the PAPMET clinical trial for patients with metastatic papillary kidney cancer. She has been taking Cabometyx since September 2016 as part of the trial, and she has been NED since June 2017. When not fighting cancer, Laura is a marketing professional in the gaming and hospitality industry who received her B.A. in mass communication from Louisiana State University and her M.A. in strategic communications from National University. She is also active in her local Catholic church as a catechist aide and in the Las Vegas alumnae chapter for Sigma Alpha Iota, the international women's fraternity for music. A native of Gonzales, Louisiana, she has lived in Nevada for the past 6 years with her husband and two daughters, and also has a stepdaughter who lives out of state. In her spare time, Laura is a cheer and dance mom. She also enjoys yoga and Zumba, writing, cooking with her daughter, reading, traveling, and hiking with her family.
Joyce Wilcox Graff is the President of Powerful Patient, Inc. www.powerfulpatient.org a non-profit patient advocacy practice which works to empower people with complex medical conditions and disabilities, helping them learn to manage their health and healthcare. Impelled by the lack of information to help her late husband and their son, she founded the VHL Alliance in 1993, working with other affected families and physicians worldwide to develop strategies to improve outcomes for people with von Hippel-Lindau and other hereditary kidney cancer conditions.
Joyce serves as an advisor on patient perspective in healthcare treatment to many groups, including the Kidney Cancer Program of Dana Farber/Harvard Cancer Center in Boston, and the Education and Training Committee of the Newborn Screening Working Group of the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). She serves on the Board of Directors of the International Kidney Cancer Coalition (IKCC).
Sutent was the first medication I tried. A deep wound developed on my right foot causing sutent to be interrupted a number of times. Finally, in Oct. 2014 we changed to Inlyta. The side effects were tough and my doctor changed to Afinitor. Within a month I experienced fluid in my lungs. We then tried Avastin. My doctor retired and I found a new doctor in Aug. 2015. After a CT scan in Dec. 2015 it was discovered that there was growth. We began infusions of Opdivo right away. Opdivo quickly became my favorite; with no side effects, I felt great.
My medical teams have helped me be aggressive in order to keep this kidney cancer stable. During 2016 we used targeted radiation on each adrenal tumor while staying on Opdivo. After a CT scan in June 2017 we found that while the tumors were stable there was a lesion on the iliac node of my left hip. Sadly I had to stop Opdivo. I received 5 treatments of radiation on this spot. Then it was recommended I try Inlyta again at a lower dose. My last CT and bone scan in Sept 2017 showed no growth and no new spots.
Through my years as a high school chemistry & anatomy/physiology teacher, I found that too many students are affected by all forms of cancer either personally or within their immediate family. By opening up with students about my experience with cancer, I discovered that one of my current students has a parent affected by kidney cancer. I embrace any chance given to provide support to patients and families affected by kidney cancer and welcome the opportunity to work with a group aimed at educating communities about the prevalence of kidney cancer, providing support to those suffering this disease, and obtaining financial assistance towards finding a cure.
It seems we learn more when we go through difficult experiences or make mistakes in life. My kidney cancer journey has been filled with many mistakes by multiple people making the experience more stressful than it needs to be. I believe everyone from general practitioners to surgeons, patients, and even families of patients can learn from past mistakes of others and provide support to one another. As I am still waiting to reach the 5-year mark on recovery, I continue to experience anxiety every six months when it is time for scans. My 4 kids still periodically ask questions about my cancer, the possibility of it returning, and how this affects their risk for cancer; the impact on all our lives is still evident.
Bryan is a 10-year survivor of clear cell Renal Cell Carcinoma.
Bryan also manages a boutique consulting practice, Veritas, LLC. He has been retained to provide counsel, strategic planning and management expertise. Previously, he held the position of Vice President, Operations & General Counsel for Brand USA, directing the day-to-day operations of the organization.
Before Joey's diagnosis of pediatric renal cell carcinoma, Kathy taught at an elementary school. Kathy started Joey's Wings in 2014, a non-profit to continue Joey's fight by raising awareness about childhood cancer and by funding research into kidney cancer that affect children and young adults, and to provide support and mentorship programs to parents. While Joey's fight against the rare and aggressive XP11.2 Translocation subtype of renal cell carcinoma for which no standard treatment protocol exists ended in November, 2014, the organization formed in his memory was able to fund a $100,000 research project in June, 2017 to study childhood renal cell cancers. Additionally, Kathy advocates tirelessly for children with cancer. She helps to increase federal childhood cancer research funding by advocating for legislation that will impact the childhood cancer community.
After a total nephrectomy in 2014, Bill was diagnosed as having Stage 3a papillary RCC, an untreatable, rare kidney cancer. Untreatable means that no treatments (radiation, chemotherapy, or molecular medicines) are effective in halting its spread. Rare means that no one wants to conduct clinical trials (experimental treatments) on rare kidney cancer patients, because they deem the market as too small to pursue. To quote Dr. James Hsieh, "People with rare kidney cancer essentially have no options." In order to help provide a standard of care for rare kidney cancers such as Stage 3a papillary RCC, Bill Paseman, along with Dr. Hsieh and Deb Maskens, brought together one dozen rare kidney cancer researchers to explore "How to improve outcomes for 'rare kidney cancer' patients everywhere." Rarekidneycancer.org was a result of that collaboration. It has since produced a website, a clinical trial search tool, a refereed paper and is collaborating on a papillary RCC genomics hackathon in conjunction with SV.AI.
Bill, a Silicon Valley veteran, runs Paseman & Associates, an angel investment firm based in the SF Bay Area. Previously, he was founder and chairman of Calico Commerce. During Bill's tenure as chairman, Calico grew to more than 300 employees, was recognized as the 14th fastest-growing company in Silicon Valley, and achieved the 6th best IPO in the history of the NASDAQ.
My husband Jack was diagnosed with Stage 4 ccRCC in November of 2014, at the age of 53. We were dismissed from the Emergency Room with no guidance or information. Within 36 hours he had to undergo an emergency nephectomy. We were left overwhelmed trying to navigate through the medical system.
I am interested in advocacy because Kidney cancer is underfunded as far as research, and appears to be still in the early stages of development of and/or adherence to surveillance and treatment protocols. Most importantly to me, I believe in advocacy for inclusion of Kidney cancer patients in clinical trials and patient education as to the benefits of participation in clinical trials.
Peggy became a kidney cancer patient advocate after her own recovery from Stage IV kidney cancer, and the realization that she was lucky to have done so. Like so many kidney cancer patients, she had been misdiagnosed for many months, and then recommended to another inexperienced doctor. Due to luck alone she received treatment which led to her long-term remission, now 13+ years. With that realization and in gratitude for the patient support she received, she was determined to help others. Thanks to online communities, and patient support groups, attendance at conferences, and countless hours trying to understand the disease, she began to share her knowledge with others. Though active with online groups, she recognized that too few patients had the chance to hear the experts at conferences, so began to share their lectures through a blog, www.peggyRCC.com which has been viewed over 50,000 times. Starting with a few lectures, the blog now contains many articles and access to the library of documents which she regularly shares with other patients.
Peggy is involved with clinical trial design and development as the kidney cancer advocate on the genitourinary committee of SWOG (Southwest Oncology Group); is a speaker/panelist for Prometheus Labs, a member of the Scientific Ethics Advisory Committee of Roche/Genentech and a board member of the Society for Participatory Medicine. She is involved with the Society to Improve Diagnosis in Medicine and has reviewed grant proposals for the Department of Defense/Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program and for Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute.

20 years of expertise in translation management - Across celebrates its 20th birthday
Karlsbad, December 04, 2020. Across Systems GmbH is celebrating its 20th birthday. The first lines of code for today's Across Language Server were written in 2000. Since then, the company has grown into one of the leading suppliers of translation management systems. Some 25,000 customers worldwide rely on Across today, with a large portion of them coming from the German-speaking world. They benefit from the high-quality, safety, and performance of the Language Server, along with the comprehensive know-how of Across Systems. To commemorate this year's anniversary, Across is doing something for the environment by supporting the reforestation and revitalization of a meadow orchard in the company's home region on the edge of the Black Forest.
"We are very proud of our anniversary this year and would like to extend our thanks to our customers, partners, and employees for the trust they have placed in us," says Gerd Janiszewski, CEO of Across Systems GmbH. "Over the past 20 years, we have been able to build up comprehensive expertise in the field of translation management, which we contribute to further development of our business every day."
From spin-off to global provider
Across Systems had its genesis in Nero AG, an established provider of multimedia software. Nero faced the challenge of translating its manuals in 2000. As the team responsible for the project could not find a suitable product for managing the translations, they decided to take the plunge and develop such a solution themselves, thus laying the foundation for today's Across Language Server.
Success was not long in coming. It quickly became clear what potential the translation management software had, leading to the founding of Across Systems GmbH as an independent company in 2005. Since then, more and more features have been added to the software, a broad network of partners has been established, and investments have been made in increasing use of the software internationally.
In 2016, Gerd Janiszewski took over as CEO of Across Systems and further expanded the company's market position while tapping into new business areas. As of today, version 7 of the Across Language Server is one of the leading software platforms for all language resources and translation processes in companies. Just like when it was first starting out, Across uses its expertise and a personal touch to help its customers make their translation processes secure and efficient.

On behalf of Law Offices of Lauren Abrams posted in Workplace Discrimination on Monday, June 13, 2016.
The discrimination of women in the workplace is nothing new, but there are many times when it becomes more obvious than others. During some of those times, women have brought lawsuits against their employers in an effort to try to asset what is fair and just.
Many of these suits have been successful, which has allowed women to make more progress in the working world and be treated more fairly. Despite all of that, though, there are still women who face discrimination from their employers. Two of the most common areas where that is seen is pregnancy and caring for elderly relatives.
Many employees hesitate to hire employees who are obviously pregnant, because they know that these women will need time off soon and then they will be distracted with child-rearing issues when they do return to work. However, some companies actively discriminate against employees they already have when those employees become pregnant. They lay them off, or when they return from maternity leave their job isn't available to them any longer. Women have sued and won in these cases, and it's important that pregnant women who are victims of discrimination continue that fight.
Another area where women often see discrimination in the workplace is as caregiver for elderly family members. They may be returning to the workplace after they have been caring for someone for a long time, and that gap in their employment history may hurt them. If they have to take time off to care for a family member, they may be fired. There are many ways an employer can discriminate against a women who is caring for elderly family members, and by doing so there is the potential for a lawsuit in some cases. Any woman who feels discriminated against in this way can contact an attorney to see if she has a case that can and should be pursued.
An increase in litigation in these types of cases has encouraged more women to stand up for what matters to them and fight back against employers who are discriminating against them. An attorney can help in these types of cases by ensuring that you have an experienced legal advocate on your side and someone you can trust to help you navigate the legal process.


Fundraising can be quite challenging but with the right approach you can actually surpass your campaign target. In the past years, many people have organised unique fundraising events and campaigns that have been very successful. The trick is to know what would work best in your unique situation and fundraising needs. Below are examples of previous fundraising success stories.
The Diabetes UK organised a bike ride challenge, 50miles in the countryside, in September 2012. The bike challenge was a fundraising idea to get funds for Diabetes research on the cause and treatment of the diabetes condition. Many of those who were affected with Diabetes directly or indirectly attended. Even those who were not affected but wanted to experience the thrill of biking on the never-ending hills, in support for the cause, availed themselves. The bike challenge participants totalled to 117, with each participant donating for the cause, the campaign's target of £10000 was well surpassed. Diabetes UK was sure able to live up to their slogan of care, connect and campaign. Similar fundraising events have been organised by the organisation with similar success. The Big Bike Ride of 1/7/2012 is an example of previous successes of such events.
In January 2013, Michelle Carr raised more than £9000 in less than 25 days. She is a photographer who felt moved by the untold stories of the plight of the urban refugees in Kenya, East Africa. She was determined to go take photos and give voice to the underprivileged refugees but did not have the financial resources to do it. In January, she discovered the online platform of fundraising called crowd funding. Crowd funding is an online innovation that enables funders and the fundraisers to meet in an online platform offered by websites like the indiegogo.com. The fundraisers have an opportunity to start a campaign and the funders donate funds for the causes they believe in. The idea is to evoke the feelings of the funders so that they can connect with the project you want to promote. Here Michelle started a campaign, downloaded a video of what she wanted to do and how she intends to achieve her goal. The audience was touched with her story and in less than 25 years she had surpassed the £9000 target.
In 2008 Lisa Krueger was able to raise more than £2000 in just one evening. Lisa organised a wine tasting event which was aimed at raising funds for a marathon in honour friend who was diagnosed Lymphoma. She sent out invitations for a wine tasting session at her house to friends and acquaintances informing them of her cause. She wanted to explore the value of an intimate gathering of friends. Rather than go ask for money outright she sent out invitations thanking all the people for their support during the tough moment. She was surprised at the great turnout and the donations from all that came to the wine tasting session. Even those who could not make to attend the event gave their financial contributions through friends.
There are many ways to fundraise successfully. You just have to find a technique that will draw people into giving. People are always willing to give monetary support for a good cause; you only need to know how to give them a little push.

We made dandelion syrup this week for a pick me up to a very rainy day. It is very easy to make, but a little time consuming. You need to put at least 12 hours aside to let the dandelion tops steep and then need 2 hours to simmer the syrup. Perfect activity for a chilly and rainy spring day.
For dandelion syrup you need about 250 dandelion tops (give or take a few),1 lemon, 4 C water, and 2 pounds of sugar (I love organic cane sugar for this).
Put the dandelion tops in 4 C water, bring the water to a boil then cover and simmer for an hour. Let cool and place in the refrigerator overnight for the dandelions to continue to steep in the water.
The next day strain the tops from the water. Mix the water with 2 lbs of sugar and the freshly squeezed juice of 1 lemon. Simmer for about 2 hours, until the water evaporates. This is how the water looks when the lemon and sugar have been added.
After 2 hours, a froth should form on the surface of the syrup (see photo below). Take the syrup off of the heat and let cool. It should thicken as it cools.
After cooling, your syrup should look like this. Cane sugar tends to create a pretty amber color when made into a syrup, I've never tried it with processed sugar, the color may be different.
The Little Ladies could eat it by the spoonfuls! It has a very earthy sweet taste.
Araina licked her spoon clean. Tomorrow we will put the dandelion syrup on homemade waffles for breakfast.
You could follow this same recipe but replace the dandelions with violets or mint or any other herb you have handy. Ohhhh, rose petal syrup would be tasty too. For more dandelion fun visit dandelion octopus, beautiful pollinators, and dandelion prints.
that sounds so yummy, and tasty, I think my neighbor has about 250 dandelions in her field maybe I can get the kids to gather them.Wild violet syrup sounds wonderful too.
Oh thanks for the recipe and the great pics to go with it. We are gonna try this tomorrow!
great idea. i've been picking dandelion heads last weekend to make so wine but I'm definetaly trying to make syrup this weekend. thanx for the recipe.
Yum! You're making me crave pancakes & dandelion syrup!
Yum! Our horse fields are teeming with dandelions so I might have to send the kids out there to pick!
enjoy it on the waffles!
Wow... I didn't expect the dark amber color.
Wow so amazing! I have only had dandelions roasted as tea!
This looks like so much fun to try. Thank you for the recipe.
This is such a great idea. I can´t wait to see my kids´faces when I have this with pancakes! Un beso!
Amazing! What a wonderful idea! We will have to give it a try, we have violets and lemon verbena we could use too! Thanks for posting about this!
Very interesting! i've made sweet violet syrup before, but never dandelion! Going to have to try it! We tried making Dandelion wine a few years ago, but it didn't turn out at all. Been wanting to try it again, but the kids always pick all my dandelions. :) fun stuff! i really enjoy your blog, that you for sharing.
Oh we must make this!
Delicious. We would love to try this!!
Fascinating. I will definitely have to try this one day! Just linked you up at www.onecraftyplace.com. Thanks for sharing!
Okay I've have never heard of dandelion syrup...Where have I been?
This looks so good! Now to find dandelions that have been treated!
I'd love to try this! Looks good.
I knew there was a reason our yard was covered in dandelions! This is great, can't wait to try it!
I got the link to your blog from my sister-in-law who thought I would be interested in making this syrup, here in New York we have plenty of dandelions this time of year. I decided to make this syrup for my mother-in-law for mother's day, hope she likes it, it smells yummy. I never knew you could do these things with dandelions, I have more appreciation for them now.
This post is gorgeous and sounds so yummy. I made a syrup like this last year and it was delicious.
There aren't many wild dandelions in town, but I can get dandy leaves at the farmers market.
Do you think this recipe would also work with a bunch of dandelion leaves instead of the flowers?
Alchemille, I think dandelion leaves would be fine. Enjoy!
I tried this today and after bringing the water/dandelions to a boil and simmering for an hour I hardly had any water left. I didn't count out the dandelion heads exactly but I think I was fairly close. Will it change over night in the fridge? I am putting them there now but I am wondering where the additional fluid will come from. Have you had this problem?
SCCC, sounds like you used less dandelions and water. It will probably just thicken in the fridge. As soon as it starts to thicken is when you should take it off the heat. Sorry if my directions misrepresented this.
Thank you so much for posting this! Your instructions and photos are amazing and I was able to follow them without trouble -- and with wonderful results!
I made a batch a couple of months ago and I STILL have friends asking me if I have any left.
Thanks again! You're linked on my site so that others can find you, too!
Thank you so much for posting this! Your instructions and photos are amazing and I was able to follow them without trouble -- with wonderful results!
I used your directions for making the syrup and it turned out great! I linked it on my blog for others to check out. Thanks for sharing.
I am simmering the syrup right now, but couldn't find anywhere how long it actually took...thanks for including that in your post!!!

Tissues are as humble and fragile as human lives, and living those lives crumples each into a unique form. Through death and tragedy, people clutch at tissues in a futile attempt to hold back a river of tears. Working as an artist is my strongest defense of our fragile existence. As I endeavor to leave my mark in the world around me, I am reminded that mortality is a powerful adversary to be counteracted with beauty.
So says artist Art Venti. Of course it is not just tears that tissues are used for. Venti may be the first artist to have his work referred to as 'snot art'. Bad puns aside I am quite taken with the photographs of his tissues. It looks like science fiction. Multi-dimensional.
I used to be obsessed with patterns when I was younger. I think it has something to do with pattern recognition. Or maybe bi-polarism. I used to drop drops of ink on a paper and then blow them around using a straw. After they'd dried I would look for faces. You wouldn't (or you would) believe how many comic facial features arise. Great if you're a cartoonist.
Andrei Varga. These particular pieces are part of a series of paintings that Andrei has done. A series called Unsaved memory. They are portrait paintings that both seem to hide behind the paints and emerge out of the paint. A kind of tease. I immediately wanted to put a date on them. I don't know why. But they do not look like faces from say the middle ages, the 19th century, or the 20 century. Are they faces from the future? Have they yet to fully emerge? Are we on the brink of seeing them? Like faces out of a crowd. That is my experience.
Ettore Aldo Del Vigo. Like Dali his images have that plastic melting chocolate look of dreams. (My dreams don't melt.) It is a fecundity of life. Like multiple universes. Leaking out of every orifice, new life snakes its way across the canvas and in its journey becomes something else.
Roa. Another street artist. And this artist(s) is all over the world.
Roa's Big Bird on Hanbury Street, Brick Lane, London from Shafiur Rahman on Vimeo.
Peter Lippman. His photos are staged. Arrangement is a collage affect. And they are arresting. Always done in groups. Or a series. I must not have much pop culture awareness because I don't get all of his references.
The Wolf of Velvet Fortune from Greg Kousidis on Vimeo.
Daniel Cohen. He has a great eye for comedy. And you can never get too many laughs. Unless you're around my friend, Victor Genoa, who is right out of control in the laugh department.
I hate some of his work. I think it pretentious. Or I don't get it. On the other hand some of his pieces are quite amusing. And interesting. Especially his collages. So I guess its a bit of hit and miss for me.

Trump adviser says President-elect wouldn't pursue Muslim ban based only on religion
Arab American group praises Obama administration's decision
The Obama administration said Thursday it was ending a dormant program that once was used to track mostly Arab and Muslim men.
"The Department of Homeland Security is removing outdated regulations pertaining to the National Security Entry-Exit Registration Systems (NSEERS) program, with an immediate effective date," said Neema Hakim, a department spokesman.
The program was suspended in 2011. Hakim said the "intervening years have shown that NSEERS is not only obsolete, but that its use would divert limited personnel and resources from more effective measures."
The New York Times first reported the story.
President-elect Donald Trump has suggested instituting a program that would track Muslim immigrants to the United States.
Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway said on CNN's "New Day" Thursday that Trump would not pursue a ban on Muslim immigration to the US based only on religion.
"You're going back to over a year ago in what he said about the (Muslim) ban versus what he said later about it, when he made it much more specific and talked about countries where we know that they've got a higher propensity of training and exporting terrorists," she told CNN's Chris Cuomo after he prodded her to share more details of Trump's plan.

New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman on Wednesday called on Obama to dismantle the NSEERS program.
In a letter addressed to Obama, Schneiderman wrote that NSEERS, created after the September 11, 2001, terror attacks, did not reduce terrorist activity and instead "undermined trust" in law enforcement and instilled fear in some communities.
"We can't risk giving President-elect Trump the tools to create an unconstitutional religious registry," Schneiderman said in a separate statement.
Schneiderman praised Obama's decision Thursday.
"This is a win for civil rights and for smart, effective law enforcement, as well as for the strong coalition of advocacy organizations and others who fought to dismantle this discriminatory tool," he said. "My office will continue do everything it can to protect the rights of all New Yorkers, and ensure equal justice under the law for all, regardless of religion or national origin."
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio also hailed the program's end.

"The program was a failed counterterrorism tool, was highly discriminatory, and led to widespread fear and needless dislocation of families across the United States," he said in a statement.
Last month, nearly 200 organizations, led by the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC), asked Obama to abolish the program before he leaves office.
NSEERS, sometimes called "Special Registration," was a program for registering and monitoring non-citizen visa holders – such as students, workers and tourists – that President George W. Bush's administration enacted a year after the 9/11 attacks.
The program affected males 16 or older from 25 countries. With the exception of North Korea, all the countries on the list were Arab or had majority Muslim populations.
Proponents of NSEERS said it was necessary to identify and capture terrorists who might enter the country on false pretenses or who were already living in the United States.
Critics said it disproportionately targeted Arabs and Muslims, caused widespread fear within those communities and needlessly punished immigrants.
The program targeted men "regardless of whether they were suspected or accused of any wrongdoing," Schneiderman's statement said.
By 2011, nearly a decade after the program was enacted, NSEERS had not resulted in a single terrorism conviction. The Department of Homeland Security determined in 2011 that the program was "redundant and did not provide any increase in security," Hakim said.
The Obama administration took all 25 countries off its list, but left its primary structure intact.
The ADC on Thursday issued a statement applauding the Obama administration's decision to end the dormant program and vowing to counter any similar programs that Trump may impose.
"The community cannot be at ease; the next administration has indicated that they will consider implementing similar programs," said Abed Ayoub, ADC legal and policy director. "We will work twice as hard to protect our community and ensure such programs do not come to fruition."

Is my anxiety me, or is it a circumstance?
Is my anxiety me, or is it a learned survival identity?
Is my anxiety temporary, or permanent?
Is the root of my anxiety a coping mechanism for a temporary traumatic situation, gone viral?
When I first discovered/acknowledged anxiety in me and all of it's flavors, manifestations/forms. I wanted to deny it, like I had all along, with action, distraction, chaos and food.
When I began acknowledging studying, healing etc., believe it or not, anxiety diminishment occurred.
In the peak of engulfment of learning/being in my anxiety, I answered the first questions as, yes I am an anxious person by nature and always have been.
In the post of my years of learning self care, protection, nurturing, creating, I can acknowledge, no, I'm not an anxious person.
Yes the recipe of my life was an anxious creation, yet the conscious living of my life since, has lead to a calm endeavor, rich with serenity, I bit of chaotic and growth spice, followed by calm seas. Each helping define the other.
In July, for the first time in my life I declared I was a calm sane, "normal" individual left up to my own devices by nature. Since then I've dealt with a series of work and life storms that have invited me back to "I'm just a crazy person".
NEWSFLASH to my soul: I've ridden the storm, discovered underlying causes, and declare once again, I'm sane.
This is huge for me, because I rarely felt that as a kid, and never as an adult since I was locked up for 5 weeks at 17.
My adult life, began in a state run psychiatric institute. Go figure, I've been driven by the anxiety of being officially labelled crazy, and the fear of being locked up again, ever since.
Thank God, I chose to believe, I wasn't junk, I was created this way for a reason, and that I would and have find a way to live autonomously, with the gifts that I am.
I never, ever, in 25 years since I was released from the mental institute, think I could consider myself sane, and normal.
Miracles Happen, I know this, because I am one.
If I can figure a way out, maybe my words can be of service to the next individual willing to wrought their way out of their inner angst.
Let's face it. We all deal with it. You know fight or flight. Dream and act on your soul's directives, or succumb to the numbness of dreary existence.
deeper I seep into my soul's interior frontier, the more I drift from the exterior label of bipolar disorder. I begin to see bipolar as more of a series of coping/integrating behaviors to a higher intellectual emotional, bigger picture, truth.
As I do my best to cope organically with current bouts and waves of anxiety and subsequent insomnia, about life changes, I receive the opportunity to sit still, and let the anxiety… dance… inside my mind, body, and emotions. If I allow the dance long enough without action, the still small soul voice inside bubbles up real truth and constructive actions about my current situation. Time and again simple journaling appears to be the best method of recording and releasing my fears. I even burn them sometimes (kinda expensive to burn my Smartphone so I had to switch back to paper).
STOP! Wait a minute here George that is not a productive societal culturally endorsed method of dealing with Anxiety!
Stopping? Sitting? BREATHING? into your anxiety without action until you hear a calm clear message from your soul?… THEN??? take action?
As I delve deeper, releasing my soul's art inside out, like I've always dreamed of, it has re-triggered the usual list of anxiety monsters designed to shut me down.
I deal with my anxiety demons as calmly as I can. I do my best to create an ongoing nurturing compassionate environment of internal and external self-nurturing. I purposely establish habits, routines, environments, and schedules to deal with my insides, as compassionately and completely as I can in the real time moments of being triggered.
"Kissing is good. Driving is good. Both are even better when you do them one at a time." from Alan Cohen's new book A Daily Dose of Sanity February 13th.
Never a room I once left which a tornado couldn't have organized better. Chaos was my modus of operendi…until I got fed up with and had enough of anxiety in my life.
In Alan's writing today he talks about a life of integrity, living in tune with where our heart, minds, and souls actually are. One thing at a time. I couldn't agree more. One of the many gifts with my unique mind I've gotten the pleasure of unsorting, is horrendous paralyzing anxiety attacks. I was so focussed on learning the bipolar opportunity in my life, I just coped with the anxiety as best I could, my desire to provide my own room and board was always greater then shutting down completely, and when I did shut down, by the grace of God I was able to "come back online" in time to do the next necessary thing to keep my job or whatever I was focussed on in the moment. After years of learning the bipolar dance, become stable in a highly paid professional job, and once again being in a relationship, my anxiety surfaced as the next big thing to tackle in my life. The woman that I was with at the time, was the antithesis of my disorganization. She also had very little tolerance for chaos. A definitive case of opposites. Being the open minded adventurer that I am, I decided to play with it a bit and see what I could come up with. Fortunately for me my workload doubled, and then tripled, in such a manner that it was physically impossible for my people pleasing/do the right thing/take care of everything mode /was impossible. I no longer had moments to unsort my mental self much less the physical chaos I generated around me.
Finally a circuit blew in my brain and I just sat down, turned off my computer, put a sticky note on the message light of my phone, and decided I would only work on one task at a time to completion, and completely ignore everyone, and everything else. I no longer cared if I kept the job, or got it all done, I was only interested in my own sanity at that point. I constantly stopped, refocussed on the one thing, and took the next step. There were many unhappy people and a couple of times my boss got in my face. I simply stopped what I was doing, looked him in the eye, and asked him if there was any greater priority than what I was currently working on. I would either refocus on his bigger priority to completion, or continue on with the task at hand. Even though I walked around in complete chaos around me, my inner life and mind was slowing down. I checked emails and phone messages once a day, and spent the rest of my day with my hands, completing the next priority. Slowly, through being affected by the organization and cleanliness at home with the woman I was living with, and the focus at work, I started to go through the other areas of my life.
Five years later, the energy continues. The miracle I've noticed as I've slowed down and focussed, is I am also able to slow down and focus with people. And this has been the unexpected gold from anxiety. The workload dropped away, and the ability to be "in to me see" with people has remained. In fact, I'm physically still at my job, but my heart, soul, and mind has awakened to the people that I am with, and the people that I meet. Honestly, it's a much bigger spiritual dividend I receive by being able to be with whoever is in front of me. As I have allowed this way of living to expand, I enjoy going to spiritual retreats and workshops for the ease of being with like minded conscious people, I also like dancing with complete strangers and long time coworkers because there is absolutely nothing that beats being focussed and present with someone regardless of the circumstances. I've discovered this as my true passion. To actually be, with whoever I am with, wherever I am.

How to Boost Productivity at Work
IN June 15, 2015 BY Derek 3035 مشاهدات
If you've ever worked in an office you'll know that sometimes they're simply not the most productive of places. It can often seem like all of the creativity has been sucked out of the building and replaced with drab walls and cubicles, making that nine to five even more soul destroying.
This my business article has helped to explain why, as a recent survey found that one third of Brits working in companies with more than 20 staff don't know all of the names of their colleagues.
When you feel like just another wheel in a company, and don't feel a close connection with your workmates, you're likely to be less motivated than someone who feels like they are part of a team, all working together for the bigger picture.
The research was performed by IntoTheBlue, and when the respondents were asked why they didn't know their colleagues names, they had a few different excuses. 22% replied that they worked in different departments, 28% said they had simply forgotten the names, and 36% claimed that they had never been introduced to everyone.
One of the survey questions was what workers thought would help them to become closer to colleagues, and eventually be on a first name basis with them. 47% of respondents said that team meetings would be the best way to address this, and 37% said that nights out with the team would help.
Team building events were the next most popular responses, with 35% of those surveyed agreeing that this would be helpful, while 25% believed that company charity work would help break the ice, and 17% said away days were the answer.
Interestingly, 37% of respondents said that they had completed team building exercises, and of those who had had the opportunity, 88% believed that the activities had resulted in a closer team and better work environment.
Jim Maitland works for intotheblue.co.uk, and said he finds the results surprising, especially when you consider how many people working in small companies don't know the names of their colleagues, while there are some people working in large organisations who are likely to know everyones names.
Luckily, there are definitely ways for companies to address these issues, and team building days seem to be the most popular solution.
Team building days have come a long way, and many are designed by psychologists and HR staff who want to foster better relationships and a better work environment. This has been proven to boost productivity at most companies, since happy staff are also productive staff.
Team building days allow employees to relax, have some fun, and introduce themselves to people they haven't yet met. Often at work we're consumed by deadlines, and it can seem like there isn't enough time in the day to give time to pleasantries with coworkers. Simply allowing employees to have a break from work demands and yet still hang out together is a great way to improve relationships and boost productivity.

Speed transducer placement - Oops?!
So I finally got my new speed/log and depth sounder up and running.
They are both Nasa brand, Clipper range. I bought them brand new, in the box, on eBay for a fraction of the cost from the local agent. I have the displays fitted in a box on the cabin top.
The depth sounder transducer is fitted to, not through, the inside of the hull, which I was a bit worried whether the signal would get through thehull ok because the hull is not just GRP, but kevlar & GRP. But it seems to work reasonably well... actually, it goes a bit "loopy" (i.e. intermittent) in deeper water (say 50' or more), but it works fine in shallow water, which is where it matters, so I am happy.
The speed log transducer is a standard paddle wheel type with the through-hull positioned about 15" forward of the frone of the keel and about 12" starboard of the centreline. This location was chosen for it's accessibility - I only use the log for racing, and remove the transducer when not in use. The speed displays fine and having calibrated it, seems pretty accurate under motor. The problem is that under sail, when sailing to windward, it reads about 10% high on one tack and 10% low on the other tack. It seems to me that this must be a result of differences in water flow above and below the keel when the boat is heeled, and, if this is the case, there is probably nothing I can do about it.
It is particularly frustrating because I can get my speed reasonably accurately from the GPS, but I like having "thru-water speed" to monitor the effectivness of sail trim and other small adjustments.
Any thoughts / suggestions (or you can just laugh at me)?
Over ground and through the water are not the same thing. So to compare the two isn't all that practical. If it really were the same then the GPS would always win. On my boat the sensor is port forward. I don't see how you could do it different other than starboard. I feel forward is better as there is less turbulence.
You could get another transducer and locate on the other side of the CL and use a mercury switch to select one at a time when heeled... and then calibrate each to read correctly.
The problem is that under sail, when sailing to windward, it reads about 10% high on one tack and 10% low on the other tack. It seems to me that this must be a result of differences in water flow above and below the keel when the boat is heeled, and, if this is the case, there is probably nothing I can do about it.
Yes, that is one reason for the difference but you also have to consider current set and drift as well as leeway. But when making adjustments, you are looking for the small changes in speed as a result of your trimming, and not really concerned about the absolute accuracy of the the indicated speed.
Sure thing Eric, I understand that, and it is precisely the process highlighted above that justifies the need for a thru-water speed rather than the GPS speed over ground (although speed over ground is also important, of course )but it is frustrating seeing 5.8 knots on starboard tack and 4.4 knots on port tack when you know that it isn't really the case... it offends my sense of "rightness"
... and then calibrate each to read correctly.
The Clipper Log does not have individual calibration settings for port/starboard transducers.
When your on a stbd tack with the paddle wheel on the high side it could be introducing some air or froth. In that case it would most likely slow when catching air.
See if leveling the boat out without loosing speed (trim perfect) if it speeds up a bit?
We were actually trying to race with only 5 crew, one of whom is 13yrs old, in 15+ knots of true wind, with plenty of rag up so we didn't exactly have the rail stacked.
Hopefully with full crew we will sit a bit more upright.
You don't need separate calibration with two transducers. You need the same one corrected. It should be the same for port and starboard tacks. The display will only read one transducer at a time because of the mercury switch.
Del's got it right about the froth etc.
I finally installed another transducer and a mercury switch on my previous boat. It solved the problem. Exactly same reading on both tacks.
High end instruments like B&G and Ockam allow you to calibrate port and starboard transducers individually.
