A central issue faced by an international joint venture (IJV) is how to manage and exploit knowledge learned from its foreign parents (i.e., knowledge transfer) for better IJV performance. Drawing from the resource –based view and the dynamic capabilities perspective, this study proposes a moderated mediation model in which channel management capability of an IJV helps transform the potential benefits of knowledge transfer into performance, and such indirect effect is augmented by absorptive capacity of an IJV and market dynamism it faces. Using a sample of 136 China-based IJVs, findings revealed that the mediation effect of channel management capability is particularly salient and becomes stronger when an IJV faces a more dynamic market environment or when the IJV has a relatively higher absorptive capacity. But the indirect effect becomes negative when the IJV has low absorptive capacity

12 Fun Activities To Get You Out Of Your Resort in Antigua and Barbuda!
In May I visited the Caribbean Island of Antigua and Barbuda and stayed at Verandah Resort. It was my first time in the Caribbean and my first time staying at an all-inclusive resort.
The trip was combined with a travel conference so obviously I jumped at the chance of visiting Antigua and Barbuda for a week, although I'll be honest and say that an all-inclusive Caribbean holiday had never been that high on my radar because I love to travel around, explore places properly and well, wander.
I feel like the Caribbean has a reputation, especially in the UK, of being the type of place you visit for 7, 10, 14 days, you sit by the pool or on the resort beach all day and don't do much else. This is why I had always thought that a Caribbean holiday at an all-inclusive resort like in Antigua wasn't for me (although the older I get, the more I appreciate why you would want to step away from busy life for a holiday just by the pool!).
It was my mum who reminded me of why I had always thought that, when I got home from my week in Antigua and Barbuda she said 'you often here that you're not allowed out of the resort because it's not safe', this is why I had never wanted to go, I wasn't sure if you could actually leave resorts whilst on many Caribbean islands!
Thankfully, my week in Antigua and Barbuda proved me that this is not the case. There are plenty of activities, attractions, excursions and things to do outside of the resorts and hotels in Antigua and it's very possible to hire a car and drive around the island by yourself!
Below I have detailed some of the best things to do in Antigua. Some of them are activities you need to hire a car for and others can be arranged via your resort which is very helpful and easy!
What To Pack For A One Week Holiday in The Caribbean!
Shirley Heights Lookout is a must visit on a trip to Antigua, it's an 18th century British guard post that is now home to a restaurant and lookout with an incredible view over the harbour below.
Although its popular to visit during the day and for dinner, one of its most popular events, and one of the most popular events on the island is the Shirley Heights Sunday Sunset Party which has been taking place for the last 31 years!
Each Sunday a few hundred people make their way to Shirley Heights lookout to drink rum punch, eat BBQ food, and have a dance to the local steel band music, followed by reggae and calypso, all whilst watching the sun go down into the mountains in front.
Speak to your hotel reception about a transfer there or hire a car to visit. To find out more information on Shirley Heights I would recommend visiting their website.
The crystal clear blue waters of the Caribbean have to be explored and this is a fun excursion in Antigua. Although you may be able to kayak and snorkel from your resort beach, going out on an organised trip is a great idea to help you see more of the island.
Antigua Nature Tours offer a trip kayaking amongst the lush mangrove, before heading to one of the best reefs in Antigua for snorkelling and finishing with a hike to the top of Great Bird Island for incredible views. I heard that there is also plenty of fruit and rum punch on board the boat too!
Have a look here for more information on how to book. The below photos from Nellie's trip which looked very fun!
Antigua and Barbuda has 365 beaches, one for each day of the year they say. To really explore these you will need to hire a car but they drive on the same side of the road as the UK and Verandah Resort has a car hire company on site, and I imagine most of the resorts do to make the process really easy.
All of the beaches in Antigua are public beaches so even if they have a resort attached to them you are allowed to visit!
Carlisle Bay is a great beach to visit in Antigua, as you can see from Sean's photo below, it looks gorgeous!
If you want to be prepared and hire a car before arriving, have a look at car hire prices here!
Some of our group visited Nicole's Table for a Caribbean Cooking class and it looked and sounded so much fun, not to mention very tasty! This is a really fun and unique thing to do in Antigua.
Nicole's Table is located in Nicole's house which looks west towards St John's harbour and gives a great insight into a local's home. They offer a few different classes but the class that my group did and I can imagine is very popular is the Cooking with Rum class where you not only cook with rum but learn about it and get to taste lots of it too!
The classes are very easy to book on her website!
A really fun activity to do in Antigua and one of the best rated things to do in Antigua is going out on a reef rider which gives you the chance to drive your own 10 foot 2-seater inflatable speed boat!
Not only that but you can jump off and snorkel in the crystal clear water looking out for stingrays, lobster, parrot-fish and so much more!
Have a look here for more information on how to book! The photo below is from Christianne's trip and it looks so much fun!
The middle of Antigua is rainforest so it makes sense that you can fly through the forest on a zip line!
I found this activity really fun and it was something a bit different and unique to do in Antigua! There's the option to go zip lining, complete an obstacle course and take the 'Leap of faith' and 'Power Fan Free Fall' which are 26 ft & 45 ft vertical drops!
The 12 course zip line isn't too long but it takes a few hours to go around and is something a bit different if you do get bored with the beaches and the sea!
Only Antigua Rainforest Canopy offer this activity on the island and you can find out more here!
I went out hiking with the Wadadli Trail Blazers Hiking Group. They go out every Sunday morning meeting at 6:00am just after the sun has risen and hike a local route for a few hours. We hiked in and around the Shirley Heights area ended up at the Shirley Heights viewpoint which was amazing.
The guys were really friendly and very encouraging, especially up the steep hills. This was a great way to start my trip in Antigua and because of the time difference after flying in from London the day before, it didn't even seem like an early start because I was awake anyway!
To get in contact with them have a look at their Facebook page. This is an activity in Antigua where you will need to hire a car or get a taxi too.
If you want to go out hiking on your own have a look at Jessie's post about a great hike in Antigua which she says is the most scenic hike she has ever experienced!
Antigua is very famous for its annual Sailing Week held in May each year and a popular activity for tourists is to Chase The Race! We went out on the last day of the race on a catamaran where we spent a few hours sailing a long side the boats and soaring through the waves to keep up with them.
Come lunch time we harboured in a quiet bay where we got to have a swim in the beautiful water and then enjoy a nice lunch, all before taking to the sea again to find the race.
If you are visiting Antigua during sailing week I would definitely recommend joining a chase the race boat trip, however if you are visiting on one of the other 51 weeks of the year then a boat trip like Wadadli Cat's would be great. They offer the same trip sailing around the island on a catamaran with the chance to snorkel too!

St John's is the capital of Antigua. Unfortunately I didn't get to visit but some of the group I was with did and they really enjoyed seeing the city. St John's is best explored on foot as there are plenty of pedestrian areas. Within the historic and commercial part of the city there are lots of shops, the Museum of Antigua and Barbuda, Markets and Churches.
Another big draw to St John's is the gorgeous coloured buildings. They make great instagram photos and I think visiting St John's will give a great insight into local life in Antigua. Read more about St John's here.
Devil's Bridge is a natural arch carved by the sea in the limestone located on the North Eastern point of Antigua. I could walk from it from Verandah Resort but both times I went I saw a few cars parked up so it's definitely possible to drive there and Devil's Bridge is a popular stop on an Antigua road trip.
It's pretty sad because the reason it's called the Devil's Bridge is because when slavery was big on Antigua a lot of people used to commit suicide off of the bridge as firstly the water is very rough, and secondly there is no land between that point and Africa so the slaves hoped their bodies would be taken back to Africa..
If you want to mix your days up a bit but you don't want to do too much, why not visit another resort!
Pineapple Beach Club is another Elite Island Resort just across the road from Verandah Resort and because they are sister resorts it means you can use all the facilities of each of the resorts, except stay the night!
I really like this concept as it's always nice to check out another hotel, especially if you were debating between two!
It's not all about getting away from your resort to have fun though! Verandah Resort had so many activities on site- a mini golf course, a huge swimming pool (in fact the largest on the island) and volley ball.
There are activities on all day as well from Yoga classes to Aqua aerobics. Plus the beach offers paddle boards, kayaks and boats for guests to take out!
What I also loved about Verandah Resort is that it has 2 beaches on site which made it easy to mix up the view each day so it didn't get boring.. not that blue ocean like that could get boring!
I would just really urge you to plan some resort activities in as otherwise the days pass quickly and before you know it its the end of the week and you didn't play mini golf which is what happened to me!
I hope you find this helpful and it has convinced you there are so many things to do in Antigua and Barbuda!
It's a beautiful destinations and with direct flights from the UK it's really easy to get to too!
To check out flights have a look on Kiwi here!
It does help to have a car whilst in Antigua, have a look at car hire prices here so you can be prepared!

"Shatranj (film)" redirects here. For the 1969 film, see Shatranj (1969 film).
Shatranj (English: Chess) is a 1993 Indian Hindi-language film directed by Aziz Sejawal, starring Mithun Chakraborty, Jackie Shroff, Kader Khan, Divya Bharti and Juhi Chawla. The movie marks Bharti's last film appearance. Khan's son Sarfaraz Khan appeared as the younger version of his character. The film was a box office hit.
Shatranj is the story of three brothers Dharamraj (Kader Khan), Dinky (Mithun Chakraborty) and Dino (Jackie Shroff). Dharamraj runs a garage with his two younger brothers and has remained a bachelor all his life as he hates women. He also forbids his brothers from falling in love and getting married. Tension between the brothers arises when Dinky and Dino meet and fall in love with Radha (Juhi Chawla) and Renu (Divya Bharti). After Dharamraj stops them from marrying Renu and Radha, the brothers leave home. They soon discover the real reason Dharamraj hates women. They are actually the real heirs of a wealthy business empire that was run by their father (Vikas Anand) before his death. Their father had remarried after their mother's death and their stepmother (Usha Nadkarni) ill-treated them. They also have a stepbrother Robin (Shakti Kapoor). This was the reason why Dharamraj left home and took his two brothers with him. He vowed to never marry as he feared his wife would also ill-treat his brothers. Dino and Dinky return home to their brother and he slowly starts to approve of Renu and Radha. Meanwhile, their stepmother has left her business in the hands of the corrupt Prajpati (Kiran Kumar), who is also the actual killer of their father. The brothers soon unite with Robin to save their stepmother when Prajpanti plans to steal their wealth and frame them for his crimes.
This marked the last film appearance of Divya Bharti, who died in April 1993, eight months before the film's release in December. Although she had completed filming her scenes before her death, a dubbing artist was used to dub her voice.

I have quite a few gadgets in my kitchen, I have a habit of buying a cheap model and then upgrading if I use it enough, but I don't tend to get rid of my old model 'just in case'. So, I have a stick blender that is ancient, and then when we downsized ten years ago I bought a food processor that also had a jug blender attachment – all in the rouse of it being compact and space saving (but then hanging on to my old stick blender).
I bought a Breville smoothie blender, and then upgraded to a Nutribullet, even though in all honesty my jug blender could probably do the same thing, and yes, I still have both of those.
I own a slow cooker, which I've had for years and use regularly, but I don't own a microwave. For my 40th birthday I asked for a Kitchen Aid mixer which I don't use as much as I should!
My latest gadget is a Sage juicer, which I love, and would like to upgrade my slow cooker, which I've had for years, for a Sage multi cooker but we are just about to rip out the kitchen that we inherited and so I've promised that I won't buy any new gadgets.
So why did I have a Thermomix demonstration? Maybe it was just to fuel my gadget obsession? I convinced myself not! I've been following some of their Facebook pages for a while and have been really interested in the results, I also have a friend in Australia who has one. I will be without a hob and oven for several weeks and I wondered if the Thermomix might be the answer to my worries about how I'm going to manage to cook.
The lovely Marta emailed me with a list of ingredients to buy, nothing to unusual, and she arrived for my demo on a snowy Wednesday morning. The demo took just over 3 hours, but I think that was because we were chatting so much, about food, health, the Thermomix and many many other things, if it hadn't been for the continuing snow and her call from her children school we may well have still been chatting now.
However, there was a serious side to our meeting, and she demonstrated the Thermomix extremely well, if we had not been chatting, we could easily have rustled up the three-course meal in about 1 ½ hours. It included freshly baked bread, a smooth vegetable soup, chicken and veg with a creamy mustard sauce and a raspberry sorbet for desert. My favourites were the bread and the desert; however, I could have made both without the Thermomix.
Marta showed off the functions of the Thermomix to its full potential, and I was very impressed, it blends, it chops, it weighs the ingredients, it whisks and of course it cooks! We cooked soup whilst steaming the chicken, and the raspberry desert took literally 4 minutes (no additional freezing needed), it definitely is a 'do all machine'. Was I impressed, very, have I bought one, not yet.
It's not cheap coming in at £1,100, however they do a very reasonably priced easy payment scheme which means you can buy it over 3 years for about £40 a month. There is no denying the quality of this German machine, it is an amazing gadget, and I would recommend it to anyone who buys ready meals or home delivery recipe box kits, anyone who is interested in cooking more but hasn't really got the time or the skills. The cook key has hundreds of recipes on there, you can easily do a meal plan and it will send you a shopping list. The display gives you step by step instructions which are clear, concise and easy; I believe even my cook phobic husband could manage to follow them.
However, when we enjoyed the cooked meal later that evening (I made the main course into a pie so I could reheat it, but the rest was as per the demo) whilst we were both impressed, as I sat explaining the demo and functions to my hubby, I realised that I didn't really want one, not like I've wanted cooking things before. Yes, if money was no object I would buy one tomorrow, and I know I would use it, but honestly, I love to cook, I like to stir and chop and stand over the cooker. I've heard a lot of people who have referred to cooking as their form of meditation, and whilst I won't go that far I do honestly enjoy the process, so I would only use the Thermomix when I couldn't cook in a traditional way.
My hubby, very sensibly asked if I bought it would I throw out any of the other kitchen gadgets? Even though I am sure that the team at Thermomix would argue with me, my honest answer was no! So whilst I would have no hesitation in recommending the Thermomix, and I can see massive benefits for lots of people, it has not earned a place on my kitchen counter just yet.

One considerable aspect of throw away management corporations is different measurements of dumpsters that they offer on rent.

Consequently whenever you hire a Rent a Waste Management Dumpster in Cusseta service, make sure you tell them the length of dumpster you require.

You might want to also remove your barn. You can rent a small, moderate or substantial dumpster to get the job done. You will need a large dumpster if you have a lot of rubbish that will go with ten vehicle loads. Five pickup lots or several tons will be the limit for a large dumpster.

Once the promotion starts, it is vital for you to discover things that you want to sell. You have something hiding in the edges of our households that we not want! Older clothes, forgotten about children's playthings, and mismatched dishware are always good places to start. If you have the required time, start looking using your basement, attic room, and garage area for various other forgotten items that are just gathering dust. You may be shocked at how a lot of things you'd retained around by mistake.
First, find the correct measurement dumpster. The most common dimensions include the 10 property container, Twenty yard jar or 35 yard storage containers. A 10 property container can be used for most home remodeling tasks and doesn't consume too much room in your yard. Your 20 property container can be used for smaller residential or commercial tasks. A 35 yard jar is for moderate to large tasks. Make sure that you find the correct measurement for your challenge. Even though you may well save money if you rent then the smaller dumpster, you will pay for those who have to schedule a number of pick-ups to haul the trash away. To be safe, you should never overstock your dumpster mainly because it can be very risky for the driver hauling out your junk if it's inundated.
Keep Older Town hunting as gorgeous as ever whenever you rent a dumpster to get any work performed you need on your own home or business whilst making by yourself happy with the value you paid out and the assistance that was presented to you.
45 yard move off dumpsters are inclined to only truly get utilized on full scale construction web-sites. They can shift an incredible number of junk, nevertheless as they take up a considerable amount of room it isn't really feasible to begin using these kind of packing containers on most residential or commercial sites.


I thought the flowers would be awesome on the top. I measured the size of the box around and cut my paper accordingly. I then cut some holes in the top to put the brads from the flowers through. Once I attached my flowers I added the leaves and tag to finish off the top.

Yorkshire Voice – Strength! Power! Charisma! World of Sport Wrestling is back!
Strength! Power! Charisma! World of Sport Wrestling is back!
Comments Off on Strength! Power! Charisma! World of Sport Wrestling is back!
The news that British wrestling fans have been waiting for is finally here, as Impact Wrestling have joined forces with the Iconic World Of Sport Wrestling to bring the show back to TV screens this summer.
WOS first entertained families on a Saturday evening over 50 years ago, giving birth to household names such as Big Daddy, Giant Haystacks and Mark "Rollerball" Rocco, before the show ceased to exist in 1985.
Now 30 years later, American wrestling giants Impact Wrestling, formerly known as TNA, have announced they are in partnership with WOS, with ITV commissioning an all new ten-part series, to air in the shows original slot on Saturday evenings.
Jeff Jarrett, co-founder of Impact Wrestling was unveiled as Executive Producer of the revamped WOS Wrestling, at the official launch in front of fans and press at MediaCityUK in Salford. A start-studded roster including Grado, Viper, Sha Samuels, the first ever British born Impact Wrestling world champion Magnus and many more, are set to battle it out in the ring, when WOS invades Preston Guild Hall on 25th and 26th May.
Jeremy Borash, announcer, commentator and producer for Impact Wrestling.
Former Impact Wrestling star and current WOS Wrestling champion Grado, couldn't hide his joy at the news that the show will return to ITV saying: "Everybody can get the chance to watch! Grannies, mammies, daddies, families, dogs, cats, the lot!
With all the excitement in the air, it was inevitable that tensions would boil over, and this was indeed the case when a mass brawl broke out during the fans Q and A, after Grado called Sha Samuels a: "big cockney dafty".
Tickets for the shows at Preston Guild Hall on 25th and 26th May, are on sale from Friday 7 April and are sure to sell out fast, as fans clamber to book their place at the historic return of WOS Wrestling.


The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has set up a special team to interrogate Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State.
Fayose, who has been governor since October 16, 2014, will lose his immunity at exactly 11.59pm on October 15, 2018, thereby giving the EFCC the constitutional right to arrest, detain and prosecute him.
The governor is expected to report at the EFCC head office in Abuja to meet with the commission's Director of Operations, Umar Mohammed, after which he will be grilled by a team of operatives, The Punch gathered.
Fayose is under investigation for allegedly receiving over N1.2bn from a former National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd.), through a former Minister of State for Defence, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro.
The money was allegedly handed over to Fayose during the build-up to the 2014 governorship election in Ekiti State.
Fayose's aide, Abiodun Agbele, and others had been arraigned by the EFCC but Fayose was excluded because of his immunity.
A source within the EFCC said, "We are expecting Fayose to show up at our office next week. He has nowhere to run to since he is under security watch and cannot leave the country through any land border, seaport or airport.
Apart from the alleged N1.2bn fraud, the governor is also under probe for alleged contract fraud.
Fayose is expected to be arraigned after investigations.

"Up. Drill time."
Benito groaned, but after nine days of Erik's discipline he knew better than to argue. The wind had been blowing steadily from west-southwest since yesterday morning and they weren't making good speed. It looked like this purgatory would continue for at least two more days.
Oh, well. It was only purgatory, not hell. Besides, he'd realized the truth in what Manfred had said: Erik was savagely unhappy about some woman. Benito had exorcized his own demons in this respect with strong drink, wild antics, and occasional fights. Erik dealt with it by a regimen of training that would make mere war gods weak at the knees. He pushed Benito. He pushed Manfred. He pushed various of the Knights of the Holy Trinity. Most of all, Erik pushed himself.
Personally, Benito thought his own method of dealing with the decisions of those irrational creatures was easier, if not better. It wasn't something he was going to point out to the Icelander, however. Erik shared the inclination to an occasional fight, and Benito had realized by this time that you really, really, really didn't want to fight with Erik. Benito understood now how the Corfiote seaman who had tried to rob him must have felt when he had seen his intended victim turn, and realized that what he faced was an unleashed wolf.
Benito kept quiet, as quiet as ever he had in his life, maybe quieter. Manfred, however, was allowed to complain. So long as he actually did exactly what Erik demanded, of course.
Just now, it was dark, and Erik was toeing them both in the ribs.
"It's before dawn, you Icelandic madman," grumbled Manfred, in a voice like millstones grinding gravel. "This is a time for sleeping. For snuggling down next to a warm, cuddlesome woman. Just because you can't, don't take it out on me."
The fulminating look that Erik gave Manfred promised that in fact the Icelander would take it out on him, which suited Benito just fine. However, on this particular occasion both of them were saved from being Erik's frustration-release by a yell from the masthead.
"Sail ahead! Blessed Jesu—lots of sails!"
Within a few minutes, the knights were all awake and on deck. The capitano peered nervously forward from a perch on the bow. Erik joined him with Benito and Manfred in close attendance. "There's a lot of them," he said unhappily. "No reason for a fleet that size to be here, my lords, except for trouble. There'll be cannon on them too."
He shook his head. "We'll have to turn and run, my lords—"
"No. We won't," said Erik grimly, pointing to the northeast, behind them. Now that the gray dawn was breaking they could see a fan of other smaller vessels, under oars, stroking toward them.
The capitano turned, looked, and blanched. His lips moved silently as he counted. "Twenty-two galliots. No, twenty-three. Pirates, by the looks of them. That's the biggest fleet of galliots that I've heard of since my grandfather's day, when Admiral Gradineri broke their power off Otok Brac and burned their lairs on the Narenta."
"They don't seem to have stayed broken," said Manfred dryly.
The capitano shook his head. "They're like rats, milord. You can never find all the holes. What are we going to do? We're trapped between them."
"Run with the wind and fight our way out of whatever trouble catches us," said Manfred.
"No." Benito hadn't meant to say anything, but the words just came out of him without thinking. He couldn't believe that neither the capitano nor Manfred nor Erik could see it—but it was so obvious. Maybe it was all that time on the rooftops as a boy, but he could see the battle in his mind's eye as if on a map.
"Look at the pattern! The galliots are aiming to cut us off. Look at them! They're not rowing toward us at all. They're heading toward where we'll be if we turn and run. I'd guess we were spotted from the shore yesterday and this was planned between them. Those carracks there are bearing down on us with the wind. The galliots only have to burn our sails and stop the oarsmen from getting a good stroke with a peppering of arrows, and the carracks and their cannon will catch up with us. We need to drop the sails and bull straight into the wind."
Erik's eyes narrowed. "We'll evade those carracks. They can't quarter close enough to the wind for that. But the galliots are smaller, lighter and faster. They'll catch us."
Benito smiled savagely, seeing it all unfold in his mind. "They'll have to row a good dogleg to do it. And then they can face our cannon. We don't outgun all those round ships, but we do those little things." Then he looked at Erik and said, "Uh. Sir."
Erik snorted. "That was for training. Speak if you have sense to speak, and it certainly sounds to me like you do."
Someone clapped. It was Eberhard of Brunswick. "Well, he is speaking it now. That is the Old Fox's grandson talking. That is thinking. Real strategy."
Manfred nodded. "Give the orders, Captain. And make signal to the other vessels." He turned to the knights. "Right gentlemen. Below and arm yourselves! Into armor. They won't be expecting fifty knights on each of these ships."
Erik held up a restraining hand. "Wait. Those galliots—the rowers fight too?"
The capitano nodded. "Yes. One or two of them might have small cannon, but they rely on boarding vessels and hand-to-hand fighting."
"Good." Erik turned to Manfred. "I don't think we should have the knights don armor yet. If we give those galliots a long chase . . . They'll be good and exhausted by the time they do catch us." For the first time since he'd come aboard, Erik gave Benito an encouraging smile. "Or what do you say, young Benito?"
Benito nodded, looking inwards at the map in his mind. "Yes. If we can keep up the chase for long enough we can turn again and quarter on the wind. We'll be upwind of the carracks. The galliots will change course, to cut the corner . . . But that'll mean that they have to keep rowing while we can rest on the oars."
Manfred bellowed. "No armor, gentlemen. Not yet. You'll all be taking a turn at the oars."
The grumble at this order was stilled by Falkenberg, who swatted an already gauntleted hand against his breastplate. "You heard the prince! Those of you already in armor, strip it off."
"Falkenberg!" yelled Manfred.
"Sir!"
"I'll want a roster of what order the knights and squires will row in. I want them to spell the rowers but not exhaust themselves. Set it up for me."
In the meanwhile, the capitano had sailors on the rigging, with orders flying. A sailor on the poop deck was making signals to the other vessels. As the sails came down, four steersmen swung the great rudder hard over. Oars came out and the steady drumbeat began.
"The carracks are resetting their sails," said Erik, squinting across the water. The vessels were, Benito judged, still more than a league away.
"Won't matter. They can't sail close enough to the wind."
Eberhard of Brunswick looked thoughtfully at Benito. "Just how do you judge this? I know from speaking to your grandfather that you are not a sailor. You've never been outside of Venice before."
Benito shook his head. "I . . . I can see it, milord. In my head. I know how close to the wind the galliots can sail. We've done that for the last two days. The capitano said to Erik—yesterday—that he was lucky this wasn't a round ship. They cannot get enough points to the wind." Benito shrugged and held up his hands helplessly. "It's a like a picture in my head from a high rooftop. I can see where people are going. I can see where they can go."
The Ritter nodded. "I knew your Grandfather well. I was based in Milano some twenty years back and he and I met on a number of occasions. Once, when he had delivered a crushing defeat against the odds to Phillipo Maria of Milano in some minor border dispute, I asked just how he did it. He described something similar. Only he spoke of it in chess terms."
Chess had been one of few things Benito had discovered in his life as Case Vecchie that was more enjoyable than the way he'd lived as a messenger and thief. "It is a great game, Milord."
Eberhard smiled wryly. "When this is over, you must give me a game. And if you desire a true challenge, that man is the master." He pointed to Eneko Lopez.
The cleric looked away from the sea, raising his eyebrows. "It is a challenging game. But the only man I know who sees a battle like a map is Carlo Sforza." He looked very penetratingly at Benito. Someone had obviously been telling family secrets.
Benito said nothing. So Eneko continued. "It is your birthright, boy. A God-given gift. See you use it wisely in his service." Eneko Lopez straightened up. "I will go below. Francis, Pierre, Diego and I will see if any protective magics may be worked."
"Better if you could blast them all to ash," grumbled Eberhard. "The pagans I fought in Småland had a magician who could do that, until someone put an arrow through his eye."
Eneko shook his head. "It is not fitting to destroy human souls, for thus is evil magic defined. In wars among Christian men, it is common for kings to claim God is on their side, but that is vainglory. God is on the side of those whose souls need him. God decides on rights and wrongs of a cause, not kings, and our magic will be as sand in the wind if we try to use it to attack. But evil magics—ah, now those are best countered by ecclesiastical power." He turned and went below decks.
Eberhard snorted. "He said much the same thing to the Emperor, can you believe it? He's a stiff-necked man, that one." He looked wryly at Benito. "I don't think you got much else from Carlo Sforza, boy. You should be grateful for that skill—from both your father and your mother's side. Yes, I know, too, Benito. Half the world does."
Benito felt his face grow hot as he flushed, and he thought of Maria, and what she had said. "They keep expecting me to be like one or the other of them. I'm not! I'm myself."
The elderly Ritter tugged at his white moustache. "Some of us struggle to live up to the reputation bequeathed to us by our blood. Others struggle to rise above that reputation. It can be done, boy. But we are shaped by it. It's whether we allow it to rule us or whether we direct it. That stiff-necked priest is right. You have a gift. Use it well. Use it as Benito Valdosta would use it, not the Wolf of the North—nor, even, the Duke of Ferrara."
Falkenberg came up to the deck and spared him having to answer. "Milord of Brunswick, here is the roster for the rowers. Prince Manfred asks that you control this matter. He says it will take true statesmanship."
The old Ritter smiled ruefully. "I detect Francesca's hand. I'm supposed to be training him and instead he's manipulating me." He took the list. "Well, you don't have a monk's fist, Falkenberg. What's this? I see Manfred's name heads this list."
"Erik said it would set a good example, milord. He said all chieftains take a hand at portage, and therefore Manfred could do some rowing. Manfred swore at him."
The Ritter raised his eyes to heaven. "Well, I daresay if nothing else that will make it impossible for any other knight to claim rowing is beneath his dignity. Very well. Young Valdosta, I suggest you divest yourself of any extra clothing. Rowing is hot work, I've been told. You're also in the first shift."
Manfred had had Von Gherens assign places to all of the passengers. Von Gherens had arrived at "where to put everyone" by the simple expedient of counting an equal number into each cabin. Under their vow, all of the knights of the militant order were officially equal regardless of former station, or present rank. So knight-proctors had ended up in broom cupboards, while several squires had the third best stateroom.
Except, of course, for Manfred and Francesca's cabin. Francesca had smiled at Von Gherens. They had the very best stateroom.
Eneko, Diego, Francis and Pierre, on the other hand, had nothing but some floor space—if they all exhaled at the same time.
The others were waiting for Eneko. They'd plainly anticipated what he would try to do: Scry to see if this was some part of a larger evil. Eneko knew the dangers here at sea. The alignment of the consecrated area wouldn't stay aligned.
The candles were prepared. The incense was in the censer. Diego was taking a bottle of water out of his pack.
Weaving the sevenfold circle in this confined space took care. But one thing Eneko had learned: Magic required precision. There was no room for mistakes.
"In nomine Patri, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti, fiat lux."
Enclosed in the magical curtain of light the four joined hands and began the ritual of searching.
This was not simple scrying; in scrying, one knew where one wanted to look, but not necessarily what one wanted to look for. Here, they knew, not only where, but (in general), what. This might be nothing more than the ongoing battles of Venice against pirates, or pirates and some greater enemy—but Lopez did not think so. Here they had one of the possible heirs to the Emperor and one of Chernobog's great enemies—more than that, really, in the form of Erik Hakkonsen and the four priests. These fleets, this alliance, might be what the Black Brain had been focusing on when it had let them go so lightly, back in the Jesolo swamps. This, then, might well be what Lopez had feared. And if it was, then there would certainly be an agent of the Black Brain somewhere nearby.
That was what they were looking for.
Each of them undertook the invocation to one of the four archangels of the compass; this was no time for mere wards. But not without a moment of thought.
"You, Pierre, or me in the North?" he asked of the others. They all knew which creatures were the most likely to be under Chernobog's sway.
Pierre considered it. "Perhaps six months ago I was your superior in combative magic, Eneko," he said, soberly. "But I think you have surpassed me. I will take the East, though, which is—"
"Another source of trouble. Very well." This would mean that Pierre would begin the invocations, and Eneko would end. Pierre faced outward, raised his hands, and began to intone the prayer to request the presence of the Archangel Gabriel in their work.
The fact that, instead of a simple ward-pillar, they got something that was a towering blue flame, vaguely man-shaped, was not comforting. And yet, in a way, it was. They now knew, for certain, that this was what they had been expecting, dreading, waiting for. It had begun.
When it was Eneko's turn to invoke the Archangel Uriel, he had barely intoned the first sentence of the prayer when his ward roared up, in brilliant gold flame. Nevertheless, he completed the prayer, ending with a bow of thanks.
It was Francis, as the representative of the West, who blessed the chalice of wine that they would use as their mirror—though it was not the standard shape of a chalice, being more of a footed bowl to provide a satisfactory surface to use as a mirror.
They exchanged glances; Pierre looked fierce, Diego somber, Francis resigned. Eneko did not know what he looked like; his face just felt stiff. They focused their concentration on the chalice of blessed wine, and began the first careful probes for the taint of evil. Since there was no "earth" as such, and not much chance that even the Black Brain's creature could force a spirit of fire out over so much water, Eneko joined with Francis to search the waters, and Pedro with Pierre to survey the air.
They expected that the creature would be subtle. It wasn't.
Eneko felt the nausea, the icy chill, and the shock of encountering naked, unshielded Evil. The result was near instantaneous. The wine seethed and began to boil. The light curtain pulsed, as if sheet lightnings striated within it. And the North ward was filled with the sound of great angelic wings.
All four of them reeled; Eneko was the first to recover. Perhaps Pierre was right; perhaps he had grown in skill! But this was no time for pride, though the confidence that the fleeting realization gave him was a bulwark under his feet.
They were now no longer within the bowels of the ship. They, and their circle, wards and all, were . . . elsewhere. Not quite out of the world, but not in it, either. It was a place of swirling darkness, green and black flame, and sickly, polluted clouds.
Moving sinuously through it, looming over them, was—something. Serpentine, but it was no serpent. Black and green, with a mouth of needle-sharp, needle-thin teeth, long as stilettos and twice as lethal, piggy little eyes, and a strange, spiny crest. It confronted them.
No. It confronted Lopez. It focused on him, and drew back to strike.
"That which cannot abide the name of Christ, begone!"
Eneko Lopez drew strength from his companions, strength from his faith, and from the Archangel of the North to strike at the thing.
Perhaps it had not expected the blow, for it did not move out of the way. Perhaps it had expected that they would be paralyzed with fear. It neither dodged, nor did it invoke shields. The blow, a sharp lance of golden light modeled on the archangel's own weapon, pierced the thing's hide. It opened its maw in a silent scream.
Then, huge, slimy and vastly strong, the creature bled and fled, and they whirled away out of that not-world and were back in the belly of the ship. There was nothing left but the faintly glowing ward-circle, the overturned chalice, four thin Ward-candles, and a puddle of blood on the floor just outside the circle. The blood was black and stank.
"Well, now we know that it is more than just a conflict between commercial rivals," said Eneko, grimly. "The eel-thing smelled of the far north. That is confirmed by the Archangel of the North's intervention. I perceive the hand of Chernobog."
"But Eneko, there was more to it than that. It knew you—and feared you. The target of all these ships is nothing other than . . . you. We must pray and summon intercession," said Francis.
"And that was no eel," added Diego.
Eneko raised his eyebrow. "It was human, once. But it looked like an eel to me."
"It was a lamprey," said Diego, with certainty. "A hagfish."
"But it was enormous!" said Pierre
Diego shrugged. "It is very old. Fish don't stop growing as long as they are alive."
"Lampreys are parasites, aren't they?" Trust Pierre's basic curiosity to get him sidetracked.
"They can be. They like to feed off living flesh." And trust Diego to follow him down that diversion.
Francis cleared his throat. "In all of that . . . was I the only one to hear the panpipes? Further off but still distinctly."
"Panpipes?" mused Eneko. "As we heard in the scrying in Rome?"
Eneko shook his head. "No, I did not hear them, but I'd guess you were right. This is another attempt to either kill us or to lead us from the course again. And that course leads to the place where there is already some old power. Elemental, crude, and which does not love us. We know now where Chernobog and his minions focus their attention: Corfu.
"Brothers," Eneko said, carefully, "I believe that the Lord will not be averse to the judicious use of magic in the material plane. After all, if this galley is captured or sunk—"
Pierre grinned mirthlessly. "It will be, after all, purely in self-defense."
"Purely," Eneko assured him. The wards flared, as if in agreement.

Re-Accreditation Announcement and Thank You
Home Faculty & Staff Office of Planning and Institutional Effectiveness General Institutional Information Accreditation
Marymount University is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) to award doctoral, master's, and bachelor's degrees.
Since 1958 Marymount University has been accredited by SACSCOC. To maintain its status, every ten years Marymount has submitted a report to demonstrate compliance with the current principles as published by SACSCOC.
In the summer of 2015, preparations began for the 2018 accreditation reaffirmation with the creation of a steering committee comprised of both faculty and staff members. As outlined in the current standards at the time, the 2012 Principles of Accreditation: Foundations for Quality Enhancement, the university was asked to document compliance with 90+ core requirements, comprehensive standards, and federal requirements including the development of a Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP).
Over the course of two years, the university gathered and documented confirmation of MU's compliance with these various standards, building a database of evidence and thoughtfully responding to each principle in writing. Guided by resources available on the SACSCOC website and at the SACSCOC Annual Meeting, Marymount successfully completed its Compliance Certification in September 2017.
Marymount's Compliance Certification report was presented to SACSCOC as a website that included links to ample supporting documentation as well as a comprehensive employee credentials database. Due to the sensitive and confidential nature of that information, the website is not available to the general public. However, a PDF version of the report was created and is linked here.
The Compliance Certification was reviewed by a SACSCOC Off-Site Committee in November 2017. The committee requested additional information on several of the SACSCOC standards. Marymount provided this information in the form of a Focused Report that was reviewed by a SACSCOC On-Site Review Committee in February 2018. Marymount also responded to new standards approved during the 2017 SACSCOC Annual Meeting by submitting an additional report, the Addendum, reviewed by the On-Site Committee along with the Focused Report.
In December 2018, the Board of Trustees for the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges voted to officially reaffirm Marymount University's accreditation
The next report, the Fifth-Year Interim Report, is due in March 2023 and will be guided by the 2018 Principles of Accreditation: Foundations for Quality Enhancement.
For more information on SACSCOC accreditation and the evaluation process please visit their website at http://www.sacscoc.org/.
For more information on specific program accreditations, please click here. You may also contact SACSCOC at 1866 Southern Lane, Decatur, GA 30033-4097, at http://www.sacscoc.org/, or call (404) 679-4500 for questions about the accreditation of Marymount University.

Q: laravel 5.6 id is automatically casted to int I'm using Laravel 5.6 with the following table structure:
public function up() {
        Schema::create( 'traffic', function ( Blueprint $table ) {
            $table->string( 'id' );
            $table->unsignedInteger( 'category_id' );
            $table->unsignedInteger( 'magnitude_id' );
            $table->unsignedInteger( 'start_id' )->nullable();
            $table->unsignedInteger( 'destination_id' )->nullable();
            $table->unsignedInteger('locale_id');
            $table->integer( 'length' )->comment( 'in metres' );
            $table->integer( 'delay' )->comment( 'in seconds' );
            $table->decimal( 'position_lat', 10, 8 );
            $table->decimal( 'position_lon', 10, 8 );
            $table->timestamps();
})

When I dump a single record, laravel has converted the id field to an integer:
Traffic {#351 ▼
  #casts: array:1 [▶]
  #connection: "mysql"
  #table: null
  #primaryKey: "id"
  #keyType: "int"
  +incrementing: false
  #with: []
  #withCount: []
  #perPage: 15
  +exists: true
  +wasRecentlyCreated: false
  #attributes: array:13 [▼
    "id" => 3
    "category_id" => 6
    "magnitude_id" => 3
    "start_id" => 1898
    "destination_id" => 1898
    "locale_id" => 3
    "length" => 3650
    "delay" => 3061
    "position_lat" => "5.27669000"
    "position_lon" => "51.85458000"
    "created_at" => "2018-03-21 15:55:13"
    "updated_at" => "2018-03-21 15:55:13"
    "name" => "nl"
  ]
  #original: array:13 [▶]

  #dates: []
  #dateFormat: null

  #dispatchesEvents: []
  #observables: []
  #relations: []
  #touches: []
  +timestamps: true
  #hidden: []
  #visible: []
  #fillable: array:10 [▶]
  #guarded: array:1 [▶]
}

In my model I have added the following without any luck:
class Traffic extends Model {

    protected $casts = [
        'id' => 'string'
    ];

From what I've found so far this should be the way to cast the id field to type string. So I'm either doing something wrong or this is a bug.
Any ideas on how I could solve this?
I know it wold probably be solved if I created an integer field id or rename the current field to something else. But I'm hoping there is a better solution.

A: As ZeroOne mentioned:

have you add this public $incrementing = false;.. need to be disable i
  think

This worked for me.

They are now also able to waive the renewal of their mortgage loan originator endorsements for the duration of their active military service.
In connection with a corporation real estate license application, any officer, director or person owning 10% or more of the stock in the corporation is to provide proof of their honesty and truthfulness. The previous threshold for the requirement was any individual who owned more than 10% of the stock in the corporation.
A real estate licensee or applicant who is suspended or barred from a position of employment, management or control is now also barred from participation in a real estate licensing examination for up to 36 months.
A licensee who submits a petition for the reinstatement of their license or reduction of a penalty is required to submit their fingerprints with the petition.
state the earliest date on which the applicant may reapply.
I cannot believe that the rules described "CalBRE state exam integrity" are new. When taking my Broker exam, any violation of the rules would quickly disqualify an applicant. Cheating is just that: Cheating. There is no excuse for it.
Re new rule CalBRE requiring the Broker/Officer of corporation "…to provide proof of their honesty and truthfulness. …" to qualify for corporation license?
Q: How does a person prove they are honest and truthful?


This topic summarizes the new features and improvements for Windows Driver Frameworks (WDF) drivers in Windows 10.
Windows 10, version 1903 (March 2019 Update, 19H1) includes Kernel-Mode Driver Framework (KMDF) version 1.29 and User-Mode Driver Framework (UMDF) version 2.29.
For version history, see KMDF Version History and UMDF Version History. Except where noted, UMDF references on this page describe version 2 functionality that is not available in UMDF version 1.
Building a WDF driver for multiple versions of Windows.
See KMDF Version History and UMDF Version History.
In some cases, framework objects are incorrectly parented and not deleted after use. With this feature, you can specify a maximum number of objects and what should happen when this threshold is exceeded.
Add a DWORD value named ObjectLeakDetectionLimit with the threshold value. This is the maximum number of objects of the types described in the ObjectsForLeakDetection key.
Add a new REG_MULTI_SZ value named ObjectsForLeakDetection that lists each type name to verify. For example, you could specify WDFDMATRANSACTION WDFDEVICE. To specify all handle types, use * as the string.
To control whether exceeding this threshold should cause a debug break or a bugcheck, set the DbgBreakOnError key.
By default, if the ObjectsForLeakDetection key is not specified, the framework monitors WDFREQUEST, WDFWORKITEM, WDFKEY, WDFSTRING, WDFOBJECT, and WDFDEVICE.
The limit scales with the number of devices installed, so if the driver creates three WDFDEVICE objects, the WDF Verifier limit is three times the value specified in ObjectLeakDetectionLimit.
If you specify WDFREQUEST, the verifier only counts WDFREQUEST objects that the driver creates.
This feature does not currently support tracking the WDFMEMORY object type.
The SleepStudy software tool reports the number of power references that a KMDF driver has that are preventing the system from going to sleep. For more info, see Modern standby SleepStudy.
The rest of this page describes functionality that was added in Windows 10, version 1507.
The WDF source code is now available as open source on GitHub. This is the same source code from which the WDF runtime library that ships in Windows 10 is built. You can debug your driver more effectively when you can follow the interactions between the driver and WDF. Download it from http://github.com/Microsoft/Windows-Driver-Frameworks.
The private symbol files for WDF on Windows 10 are now available through the Microsoft Symbol Server.
The Windows Driver Kit (WDK) 10 samples are also now published to GitHub. Download them from http://github.com/Microsoft/Windows-Driver-Samples.
When you use WinDbg to debug a WDF driver on Windows 10, WinDbg automatically retrieves the framework source code from Microsoft's public GitHub repository. You can use this feature to step through the WDF source code while debugging, and to learn about framework internals without downloading the source code to a local machine. For more information, see New support for source-level debugging of WDF code in Windows 10, Debugging with WDF Source, and Video: Debugging your driver with WDF source code.
All WDF driver samples and Visual Studio driver templates are Universal Windows driver compliant.
All KMDF and UMDF 2 functionality is Universal Windows driver compliant.
Note that UMDF 1 drivers run only on Windows 10 for desktop editions and earlier versions of desktop Windows. Want to benefit from the universal capabilities of UMDF 2? To learn how to port your old UMDF 1 driver, see Porting a Driver from UMDF 1 to UMDF 2.
All KMDF and UMDF 2 drivers can use an always on, always available Inflight Trace Recorder (IFR). When a driver provides a custom trace, the driver IFR log contains the trace messages. Note that the new driver IFR log is separate from the framework IFR log that WDF creates for each driver.
It's easy to turn on the IFR. See Inflight Trace Recorder (IFR) for logging traces and Using Inflight Trace Recorder in KMDF and UMDF Drivers.
The IFR maintains a circular buffer of WPP traces in non-pageable memory. If a driver crashes, the logs are frequently included in the crash dump file.
If you turn on the IFR in your driver binary, the IFR is present and running during the lifetime of your driver. You don't need to start an explicit trace collection session.
IFR logs are included in minidump files except when the responsible driver is undetermined or if the crash was a host timeout.
If you have a debugger connected, you can access both the driver and framework IFR logs by issuing !wdfkd.wdflogdump.
If you do not have a debugger connected, you can still access both logs. To learn how, see Video: Accessing driver IFR logs without a debugger.
UMDF logs (WudfTrace.etl) and dumps are now located in %ProgramData%\Microsoft\WDF instead of %systemDrive%\LogFiles\Wudf.
New debugger command: !wdfkd.wdfumtriage provides a kernel-centric view of all UMDF devices on the system.
You can run !analyze to investigate UMDF verifier failures or UMDF unhandled exceptions. This works for live kernel debugging as well as debugging user crash dump files from %ProgramData%\Microsoft\WDF.
In KMDF and UMDF 2, you can monitor power reference usage in the debugger. For info, see Debugging Power Reference Leaks in WDF.
You can use !wdfkd.wdfcrashdump to display error information about UMDF 2 drivers. For more information, see !wdfkd.wdfcrashdump.
You can use the Windows Performance Toolkit (WPT) to view performance data for a given KMDF or UMDF 2 driver. When tracing is enabled, the framework generates ETW events for I/O, PnP, and Power callback paths. You can then view graphs in the Windows Performance Analyzer (WPA) that show I/O throughput rates, CPU utilization, and callback performance. The WPT is included in the Windows Assessment and Deployment Kit (ADK).
For more information, see New Performance Tools for WDF Drivers in Windows 10 and Using the Windows Performance Toolkit (WPT) with WDF.
UMDF now fully supports HID filters (enumerated by HIDClass) and minidrivers. Simply port your existing KMDF driver or write a new UMDF 2 filter; the functionality is automatically enabled.
UMDF HID minidrivers that are enumerated by ACPI can perform selective suspend. For more information, see Creating WDF HID Minidrivers.
UMDF drivers can now be installed in the HID stack for low latency input devices such as touch and mouse. A driver for an input device should specify the UmdfHostPriority INF directive. For information, see Specifying WDF Directives in INF Files.
UMDF 2 supports interrupts for GPIO-backed devices like hardware push-buttons. KMDF supports these devices natively, without the workaround described in Handling Active-Both Interrupts. For more information, see Creating an Interrupt Object.
New support has been added for USB drivers in UMDF. A UMDF 2 USB driver no longer uses WinUSB. To use the new functionality, the driver sets the UmdfDispatcher directive to NativeUSB, instead of WinUSB. See Specifying WDF Directives in INF Files.
UMDF system components consume less disk space.
KMDF and UMDF drivers use less non-paged memory.
Improved framework version checking reduces header/library mismatches.
UMDF provides improved buffer mapping for HID transfers.

This statistic shows the share of organizations hiring for human resources jobs in the United States as of April 2016, by company size. During the survey, 63 percent of respondents from companies with 500 to 2,499 employees said that their company was not hiring for HR jobs.
Respondents who answered "not sure" were excluded.


so be watching for it in the mail!!!
I hope you WILL COME!! It will be the best show EVER!!
I am also THANKFUL for people who know how to do saturation mailing and help me figure out how to stamp and mail out 10,000 cards!!
I love standing and singing the Star Spangled Banner!!
I am so grateful for those who have and even now ARE sacrificing to protect and work to keep this great nation a LAND OF PROMISE!
I should never to promise to write everyday !!!??? I will never do it but....I did spend the weekend in Carmel - Monterey - Pebble Beach, California - it was AWESOME! I don't golf but being there -I THOUGHT I maybe I should???? Or just all "golf lessons" to my bucket list!
Jeff and I spent the weekend with some friends in this beautiful part of the world. I need to go on a diet now but of course I am getting ready for the show so that is hard when my diet is candy, pop and NO SLEEP - OH DEAR and then comes Christmas.
Anyway, did go to the Henry Cowell Redwood Forest outside of Santa Cruz (on the recommendation of the famous JULIE M)..which IS one of the things on my "bucket list" - "see a redwood forest!" If you can go......GO - it will take your breath away.
It was everything I thought it would be - to stand by these old fellows and feel their ancient spirits and the whisper of the wind high above our heads.
As I sat looking at these GIANTS someone off in the distance was whistling "You Fill Up My Senses" by John Denver!!!
What would I be without them? NOTHING!!
They are "all my reasons"!!
I love each of them for what they do for me and what they bring to make our family what it is. I HOPE THAT YOU HAVE A FAMILY TO BE THANKFUL FOR..one of my favorite saying is.
"Families are like FUDGE, mostly sweet with a FEW NUTS"

Thank you Sara for being my sister and for all you do for me.
You are an inspiring and gracious friend. I love you!!
WHAT A LUCKY GIRL I AM TO HAVE THESE TWO IN MY LIFE!!!


Death, separation, and racism remain three of life's greatest tragedies, but artists can turn them into something good – namely, a number one spot on the Billboard chart.
La Comunidad, the Buenos Aires office of innovative, cross-cultural agency the community, has launched a new campaign for Billboard magazine called "Inspirations" that consists of three spots, each of which features a different artist and a horrific experience that has become inspiration for a powerful song.
The first spot, "Raid," (above) shows two white cops assaulting two African-American men with no motive. These men transform their injustice into musical notes, which become a powerful protest song.
"Violence" recounts a young man's suffering as he witnesses his father beating his mother. The dialogue becomes musical notes that inspire the young man to create a beautifully sad song that mirrors his harsh childhood.
Finally, "Overdose" shows us how after a chaotic night, a rock singer transforms the death of his girlfriend into music notes, which in turn become a harrowing song inspired in that moment.

Die Cordillera Azul (azul span. für "blau") ist ein Gebirgszug im zentralen Norden Perus. Sie bildet einen Teil der peruanischen Ostkordillere.

Lage
Die Cordillera Azul erstreckt sich in Nord-Süd-Richtung über eine Länge von 330 km entlang der Grenze der Regionen San Martín und Huánuco im Westen und den Regionen Loreto und Ucayali im Osten. Im Norden findet der Gebirgszug seine Fortsetzung in der Cordillera Escalera. Entlang der Westflanke fließt der Río Huallaga nach Norden. Im Osten grenzt das Gebirge direkt an das Amazonastiefland. Die Ostflanke wird über den Río Ucayali entwässert. Im Süden verschmilzt das Gebirge mit der peruanischen Zentralkordillere. Im äußersten Süden liegen die Quellgebiete von Río Tulumayo und Río Aguaytía. Im Süden erreicht die Cordillera Azul eine maximale Höhe von etwa . Größere Flüsse, die in der Cordillera Azul entspringen, sind Río Pucayacu, Río Biavo, Río Chipurana, Río Cushabatay, Río Pisqui und Río Aguaytía.

Ökologie
Die Cordillera Azul ist hauptsächlich mit Regenwald bedeckt und weist eine hohe Biodiversität auf. Sie bildet den Lebensraum vieler bedrohter Tierarten. Im Jahr 2001 wurde der 13.531,9 km² große Nationalpark Cordillera Azul eingerichtet.

Student-founded law and science journal advances discussion of climate change in the ocean.
Policymakers facing complex decisions about climate change have a new resource to put marine science in their toolkits. The Stanford Journal of Law, Science and Policy (SJLSP) has released its latest issue, "Climate Change and Marine Systems, " available for free online at http://www.stanford.edu/group/sjlsp/cgi-bin/articles/index.php.
Three Stanford graduate students from programs in law and biology founded the journal in 2008 as a needed outlet for interdisciplinary, science-based papers on public policy. Their latest issue follows a symposium hosted by SJLSP in April 2009 called "Climate Change and Marine Systems: Managing for Resiliency." The symposium attracted participants from regional NGO's, state and federal agencies, and academia to discuss themes of ocean energy, marine reserves and fisheries.
SJLSP articles often represent the collaboration of scientists and legal scholars. In the current issue, Mark Carr of UC Santa Cruz, Meg Caldwell of Stanford and Emily Saarman of PISCO present "The role of 'rules of thumb' in science-based environmental policy: California's Marine Life Protection Act as a case study." The authors suggest an improved format for distilling scientific information into useable guidelines that policymakers can incorporate into their decisions.
Edwin Feo and Josh Ludmir of Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP contributed an article called "Balancing the right regulation with the right economic incentives: government's role in the development and financing of marine renewable energy in the United States." They discuss how current U.S. laws impede the development of technology to harness the ocean's enormous potential for clean, renewable energy. Other articles include a review of marine organisms' physiological responses to climate change as a means to predict fishery and ecosystem "winners" and "losers," and proposed guidelines for melding natural and social science to develop scientific-yet-appealing marine indicators of climate change.
The unique approach of SJSLP allows scientists to communicate the salient findings and implications of their research directly to policy makers, who can in turn draw on relevant, cutting-edge science when crafting policy solutions. More information about SJSLP and access to journal articles can be found at http://www.stanford.edu/group/sjlsp.

Q: JQuery fadeOut list element on click I'm trying to fade out a clicked element in an ordered list.
on() seems to return the element which I can then manipulate but how do I generate the selector to actually fade out the visible li I clicked on in the HTML?
Thanks!
Here is my code, line in question is towards the bottom:
$("#steplist").on("click", ".step", function() {
        var stepIndex = 0;
        var li = this; // is the returned line

        //gets index of clicked line in array by looping through elements
        while (li.previousElementSibling) {
            stepIndex++; //increments index counter
            li = li.previousElementSibling; //sets li to be next li
        }

        //sets vars to values in temp, time fields
        var temp = $("#temp").val();
        var time = $("#time").val();

        if (temp == 0 || time == 0) {
            //alert("removing step" + stepIndex);
            steps.splice(stepIndex, 1);
        } else if (temp != 0 && time != 0) {
            //needSelectorHere.fadeOut(3000, function(){
        }); steps.splice(stepIndex, 1, [temp, time]);
}
updateMash();
});

A: You can use $(this) to refer to the element you clicked on, and $(this).index() returns its position as a child within its parent.
jsFiddle
HTML:

item 1

item 2

item 3

JS:
$('li').on('click', function() {
  alert($(this).index());
  $(this).fadeOut();
})

A: The selector of the clicked on element is $(this)

$('div').click(function(){
  $(this).animate({
    'marginLeft' : '100px'
  },800);
});
div{position:relative;height:100px;width:100px;}

St Louis Bankruptcy: Will I Be Able To Buy A House After I File For Bankruptcy?
Filing a bankruptcy in St Louis will make your life a lot easier in a variety of ways. No more nasty phone calls from creditors and collection agencies. No more worrying about how to come up with the monthly payments (when you still have to put food on the table). No more staying up late at night wondering how you are going to make everything work.
For instance, a St Louis Chapter 7 will completely wipe out all of your unsecured debt (like credit cards, medical bills, payday loans, etc.). This will in turn cause your credit score to rise quite a bit. Most of the time, you can expect your score to jump by about a hundred points up within the first year after filing. And then certainly by years after filing bankruptcy, your score is back up to where you want it to be.
This means that within two years (or so), you would be in a great position to purchase real estate. Can you buy a house sooner than two years after filing a St Louis bankruptcy? Yes, you can. But the longer you wait, the more of a chance your credit score has to rise. And the higher your credit score, the better position you'll be in to negotiate favorable rates.
But the best way to learn about your options (and to get solid legal advice) is to set up a consultation with an experienced St Louis bankruptcy lawyer!! He or she can explain to you how the process works, and describe in detail how your credit rating can (and will) improve over time.
