Leaders from aquariums around the country will convene in Baltimore this week to discuss and explore best practices and programs for inspiring their audiences to be part of the global climate change conversation. The Communicating Climate Change and the Oceans: 2012 Summit, hosted by National Aquarium, will begin on April 15th.
During the three-day summit, hosted by National Aquarium along with Monterey Bay Aquarium and New England Aquarium, panel discussions will range from a review of the monumental work conducted by the Climate Interpreter Coalition (a collaboration of aquariums and other organizations that share the desire to effectively communicate about climate change) over the past few years, to the data resulting from the Climate Literacy Zoo Education Network's (CLiZEN) national survey of zoo and aquarium visitors. The summit will also include break-out sessions on such topics as the power of social media and group work on future collaborations based on geographic regions.
Representatives from over 50 aquariums gathered in 2008 for the first Communicating Climate Change and the Oceans Summit where each pledged to increase knowledge in their home institutions, "green" their operations, train front line staff on interpretive techniques, create exhibits and website pages and reach out to local partners. Grants from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Science Foundation, National Aeronautics and Space Administration and Institute of Museums and Library Services and participating institutions' operational dollars have funded many of those efforts and have been used to maintain momentum and deliver the pledge commitments. Conferences and workshops have encouraged like-minded colleagues to work together to learn, try and ask more.
Two of the key components of the 2012 Summit will be to review their achievements since the 2008 summit and determine how to measure their success moving forward.

You run a small or medium-sized business, you're busy, and maybe you haven't given much thought yet to how the recent changes to the tax laws might affect you or your businesses, when one of your best employees approaches you about switching from employee status to independent contractor status so that she can take advantage of the new tax laws. (My last blog post discussed why employees might want to make that switch.) Your first instinct might be to say sure, why not? For one thing, this is a loyal employee and you like the idea of accommodating her and helping her save money. Additionally, you have always known that there are financial advantages to businesses in hiring independent contractors over employees, most notably that you do not have to pay any FICA taxes on behalf of an independent contractor. And this employee in particular has a good salary and participates in your company's matching 401(k) plan to the fullest extent. She also has her entire family on the company's generous (and expensive) group healthcare plan. You also suspect she is planning to have another child and take advantage of the company's paid maternity leave again. If she becomes an independent contractor, she would not be entitled to any of these employee benefits. Seems like a no-brainer to allow her to switch, right?
Not so fast. While it is true that you would no doubt welcome the opportunity to not have to withhold and pay FICA taxes for her, pay for her and her family's health insurance, and pay for her to go on another paid maternity leave, if the IRS determines that, for tax purposes, she is really an employee, your company could end up getting hit with a hefty bill in back taxes, and even fines. That's because under IRS regulations, just because you decide to make someone an independent contractor, doesn't mean the IRS can't later deem them an employee for payroll withholding purposes. If this is an employee who primarily works on-site for set hours utilizing company equipment and is under your (or another manager's) supervision, then this is probably not someone who will be able to qualify as an independent contractor. However, if this person sets her own hours, spends much of her time working off-site, uses her own equipment for which she does not receive reimbursement, and generally works independent of any supervision, then independent contractor status might be something to consider.
But even if the risk of an IRS challenge to her independent contractor status is low, there could be other unintended consequences that result from reclassifying an employee as an independent contractor. Does this employee create anything for you? Does she work on the company's website, write articles to include in the company newsletter, write software programs for the company or its clients, or work on inventions? As an employee, anything she creates within the scope of her employment is (generally speaking under most states' laws) automatically deemed to be owned by her employer. Not so for independent contractors. Additionally, if she is subject to a non-compete, that non-compete will either terminate along with her employment status (e.g. if she was under an employment contract that included a non-compete provision) or at the very least will be a lot harder to enforce.
Accordingly, employers need to be careful. Any employer approached by an employee about switching should seek the advice of legal counsel to assess the risks and consequences of doing so.

Duke basketball: 3 players who will stun the world next season – Ball Durham
Techy Hunters August 09, 2021 NBA,
Duke basketball head coach Mike Krzyzewski (USA TODAY Sports)
Duke basketball can get back to the top on the back of a few amazing stars.
All five Duke basketball teams that have won it all shared two common denominators:
Mike Krzyzewski on the bench
Three or more bonafide superstars on the court
The 1990-91 national champs had, in no particular order, Christian Laettner, Bobby Hurley, and Grant Hill. And, of course, the 1991-92 back-to-backers prospered with the same trio of treasures, only a year wiser across the board with a slight shift or two to their supporting cast.
As for the next decade, the 2000-01 net-cutters enjoyed a potent leading quartet of Jason Williams, Shane Battier, Mike Dunleavy, and Carlos Boozer. Then the 2009-10 veteran bunch realized its goals while seeing Kyle Singler, Nolan Smith, and now-head-coach-to-be Jon Scheyer bask in college hoops stardom.
Finally, the freshman-laden 2014-15 collection benefitted most throughout its campaign from the beyond-their-years manhood of rookies Tyus Jones, Jahlil Okafor, and Justise Winslow, in addition to the newfound star power of senior Quinn Cook.
Now, the question is, are there enough star-studded jewels in Durham to end the Hall of Famer's legendary career with scissors and net in hand?
Well, let's look here at the three 2021-22 Duke basketball talents who should have what it takes to return the program to prominence after the massive underachievement that was last season.

LIVE REVIEW: The Migrant and yields
Danish singer-songwriter Bjarke Bendtsen and his touring band, collectively known as The Migrant, brought their swirling, psychedelic take on folk-pop to Fuel Café Bar on 9th October with support from Manchester's own yields.
The night began with a tremendous performance from yields, who for this appearance were Simon Connor on acoustic guitar/lead vocals and Chris Briden on bass/backing vocals. The set featured the group's winning formula of intricate melodies plus spellbinding harmonies with a cheeky Roy Orbison cover at the end for good measure. The slow-building intensity of 'Frequent Flyer', the deceptive simplicity of the mantra-like 'Rope' and the looping, hypnotic guitar and percussion of 'Alarm' all serve as reminders of just how great this band are live – with both musicians perfectly in sync. This was the first Manchester gig for yields in a while and it was a very welcome return.
I wasn't aware of The Migrant's music before this gig and so wasn't too sure what to expect from them. I'm happy to report that what we got was an intoxicating blend of shimmering guitar-led melodies and Bjarke Bendtsen's impressive voice (which ranged from fragile whisper to trilling falsetto) all backed by a tight three-piece band. I've since read that Bendtsen has a touring band from Austin, Texas whilst playing in the US and a completely different band from Copenhagen accompanying him on any European dates. So it seems this version of The Migrant was 100% Danish.
The Migrant
The set seemed to focus on material from 'Flood,' The Migrant's fourth album in five years. Tracks such as 'Water', is a rousing, jittery song with a very strong Radiohead feel to it, not least because Bendtsen's voice bears a striking resemblance to that of Thom Yorke. 'The Fixer' saw the band let loose with the exhilarating, driving rhythm building to the closest thing to a drum solo that has ever happened in Fuel. Some of the more psychedelic songs, like 'Belly of A Man', 'Silence' or 'The Hurricane' brought to mind the more recent work of Black Keys frontman Dan Auerbach, with a hazy laid back feel. Whereas 'Climbers' had a distinct 'Laurel Canyon' feel, with its chugging country rhythm and close Crosby Stills & Nash harmonies.
The crowd upstairs in Fuel seemed very happy with our Danish visitors and, raising a drink together with the band, joined them in a loud "Skal!" With that, The Migrant packed up and moved on to the next town, leaving behind a roomful of new friends.

Whereas the date of New Year in most of the Western World is fixed at January 1st., other cultures and religions may use other dates. Following calendar reform in the Han Dynasty 2000 years ago, the Chinese settled on a system which ties the date of New Year to the lunar year (which is shorter than the solar year). This system means that whereas we put an extra day into our calendar every four years, the Chinese put in a whole extra ('intercalary') month in the fourth year. The New Year date itself is roughly halfway between the winter solstice and the spring equinox, and therefore will be somewhere between 21st January and 20th February. For 2022, the Year of the Tiger starts on 1st February.
As most people know, Chinese Years run in a 12 year cycle with each named after an animal. Legend has it that these were the twelve animals which attended a New Year Party held by Buddha. The cycle starts with the Rat (2020), who hitched a ride on the back of the ox and then jumped off to run ahead to get there first. He is followed by the Ox (or Water-buffalo) (2021), Tiger (2022), Rabbit (2023), Dragon (2024), Snake (2025), Horse (2026), Ram (2027), Monkey (28), Rooster (29), Dog (30) and Pig (31). Other animal substitutes occur in other sources: The Ram is sometimes a Goat and according to some, the year 2000 started in the Year of the Cat!
To the non-Chinese it is probably difficult to appreciate the tremendous importance of the Chinese New Year to almost all aspects of business and social life: Everyone knows what 'animal' they are, business negotiations are influenced by the 'animals' involved and as the old year ends, maternity wards may be crowded with women wanting to be induced, so their child will be born in the 'right' year.
The underlying theme of New Year is one of renewal, settlement of debts and the ability to start afresh. The festivities cause disruption to daily normal life and traditionally used to last for fifteen days. In modern times, as Life and, more importantly, Business has to go on, the festival is usually kept to three days. To the Chinese, the festival combines the elements of the strong family occasion we celebrate at Christmas (and the Americans have at Thanksgiving), and the renewal of spiritual beliefs many faiths celebrate at their respective major celebrations and observances.
With renewal the keynote, the twentieth day of the Twelfth Moon is designated as a day for floor-sweeping. This involves a top to bottom spring-clean to rid households of the dust and misfortunes of the past year. (Once the New Year starts, sweeping, cleaning and even washing is banned for two days in case any new luck is accidentally destroyed).
Once houses are cleaned, households then start to stock up with food and presents for the New Year on the assumption that shops will be closed (much as we do for Christmas). On New Years Eve, everyone (including children) is expected to stay up to past midnight - failing to do so is said to shorten your life - and much like a combination of our Christmas and New Year, the streets and temples are filled with people as the New Year starts.
Other customs involve strewing courtyards with tree branches and setting fire to them just before midnight, or letting off fire crackers to scare off any Evil and prevent it entering the New Year.
Luck Papers, Decorations and Dragons
A major feature of the New Year Festivities (and decorations for a Chinese New Year Party) are Luck Papers - red strips of paper with auspicious characters, symbols and sayings on them (usually in gold print). They are normally pasted either side of the doorways and on the lintels, in order to welcome the Gods of the New Year and attract their favour. Other papers featuring characters such as the Fu (Happiness), Lu (Success) and Tai Chi (Good Luck) and depictions of the Gods and symbolic figures, or objects such as fish and well-fed children, are hung around the rest of the house.
These papers are easily obtainable (along with depictions of the relevant Animal of the coming year) from Chinese artefact shops over the New Year period. Additionally, specialist street-traders will write out personal luck papers if required. Aside from these specialist outlets, poster and print shops are increasingly carrying framed representations of Chinese characters (sometimes with translations) and other artefacts (candles and candle-holders, incense burners, etc.,) can also be found fairly easily.
Red and Gold are the colours denoting prosperity and wealth, and hence these should feature heavily as the theme colours. Also, one of the presents given to relatives, especially children, over the period are 'Red Packets' - envelopes containing token amounts of money. Similar envelopes, probably containing facsimile money, can also feature as decorations. One of the spectacles of the New Year festivities is the Feeding of the Luck Dragon in which a ceremonial dragon, accompanied by percussionist, 'dances' around the streets and in and out of shops and is 'fed' with red packets, either put directly into its mouth or dangled on fishing lines from upper floors (it brings its own step-ladder to help it reach!).
We make suggestions for costumes relating to this theme below. Potential hirers might wish to exercise discretion in their choices in view of the ethnic aspects involved, which may cause offence to some.

Department of Transportation Issues Distracted Driving Guidelines to Auto Manufacturers
The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has issued its first-ever guidelines designed to limit the use of automobile infotainment systems, such as cell phone systems and music devices, while driving. The guidelines were issued by the DOT's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and are part of a series of guidelines that the NHTSA is expected to deliver in an effort to reduce the hazards of distracted driving.
The first set of guidelines included recommendations that automobile manufacturers take steps to:
Reduce complexity and task length required by the device;
Limit device operation to one hand only (allowing the other hand to remain on the steering wheel to control the vehicle);
Limit individual off-road glances required for device operation to no more than two seconds in duration;
Limit unnecessary visual information in the driver's field of view; and
Limit the amount of manual inputs required for device operation.
The DOT's recommendations also include the disablement of operations such as visual-manual text messaging, internet browsing, social media browsing, 10-digit phone dialing, and displaying more than 30 characters of unrelated driving text. Conversely, electronic warning system functions, such as forward-collision or lane departure alerts, would not be subject to the proposed guidelines since they are intended to warn a driver of a potential hazard.
"Distracted driving is a dangerous and deadly habit on America's roadways – that's why I've made it a priority to encourage people to stay focused behind the wheel," said Secretary LaHood. "These guidelines are a major step forward in identifying real solutions to tackle the issue of distracted driving for drivers of all ages."
NHTSA Administrator David Strickland expects the guidelines are expected to be more effective than mandates, with the government seeking full voluntary compliance by working with auto manufacturers and other industry groups.
The next set of guidelines is expected to address aftermarket components, such as portable electronic devices or navigation systems, with a third set of guidelines addressing voice-activated controls.
Last year, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) called for a nationwide ban on texting and making phone calls while driving. The NTSB's recommendation specifically asked all 50 states and Washington D.C. to ban all nonemergency use of cell phones and other portable electronic devices for all drivers. The NTSB also recommended that states use the NHTSA method of high-visibility enforcement to support such bans, and that states implement targeted communication campaigns to inform motorists of the new laws.
Readers are reminded that Illinois currently prohibits all drivers from text messaging, emailing, and using the Internet while driving. In Chicago, all drivers must use a hands-free device when talking on a cell phone.

1.1 Physical Properties of the Acids
1.2 Uses of Acids
2 What is the Base?
2.1 Physical Properties of the bases
2.2 Uses of Bases
3 Difference Between Acids and Bases
Are acids and bases the same or are they different? Yes, they are definitely different. Acids are those substances that release one or more H+ ions in an aqueous solution. An acid is a substance that can donate a hydrogen ion. A substance capable of releasing one or more OH- ions in an aqueous solution is termed the base. let's see more about the difference between acids and bases.
What is an Acid?
Acids are those substances that release one or more H+ ions in an aqueous solution. An acid is a substance that can donate a hydrogen ion (H+) to another substance in an aqueous solution. Acids have a pH of less than 7.0. Acids are sour in taste. It gives a burning sensation when it comes to contact with the skin. Acids are usually sticky in nature. Acids are mostly obtained from natural sources.
According to Arrhenius Concept, an acid elevates the concentration of Hydrogen ions when dissolved in water. But according to Bronsted-Lowry Concept, acids are substances that donate protons. Ions that accept the pair of electrons (electron pair acceptor – an electrophile), and possess vacant orbitals are termed 'Lewis acid'.
Physical Properties of the Acids
Acids are Sticky when reacted with water.
They even Have a burning sensation
When reacted with litmus paper, it Changes blue litmus to red color
They are sour in taste
They react with bases for neutralization of their properties
They Conduct electricity
React with active metals to liberate H (Hydrogen)
Acids are classified as:
Strong acids, such as nitric acid (HNO3), sulfuric acid (H2SO4), and hydrochloric acid (HCl).
Strong Lewis acids, such as AlCl3 (anhydrous aluminum chloride) and BF3 (boron trifluoride).
Concentrated weak acids, such as acetic acid (CH3COOH) and formic acid (CH2O2).
Lewis acids with specific reactivity, for example; solutions of ZnCl2 (zinc chloride).
Superacids, which are extremely strong acids.
Uses of Acids
Acids are used in household cleaning and also for industrial purposes: Acids, i.e. Sulfuric acid and Nitric acid are both commonly used in paints, dyes, fertilizers, and explosives. In the chemical industry, acids are used as neutralizers in the production of salts.
For example, nitric acid (HNO3) reacts with ammonia NH3 for the production of ammonium nitrate – a fertilizer. They are used to ward off rust and corrosion from metals, using a technique termed 'pickling.' Acids (i.e. Sulfuric acid) are used to make batteries for flashlights and cars. Sulfuric acid is also used in mineral processing. Acid is used as a metal dissolver: Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is used to make aqua regia, which assists in dissolving noble metals like platinum and gold
What is the Base?
Those substances that accept the proton and donate electrons are termed as the base. A substance capable of releasing one or more OH- ions in an aqueous solution is termed the base. The pH values corresponding to bases are always greater than 7. A base that completely ionizes in water and thus produces a large number of hydroxide ions (OH- ions) is called a Strong Base or Strong Alkali. E.g. Sodium Hydroxide and Potassium Hydroxide.
According to Arrhenius Concept, a base is a compound that increases the concentration of hydroxide ions (OH–) when dissolved in water but according to Bronsted-Lowry Concept Bases, on the other hand, are substances that accept protons. Ions that donate a pair of electrons (electron-pair donor – a nucleophile), and possess a lone pair of electrons are termed 'Lewis base'.
Physical Properties of the bases
Bases are bitter in taste (except ammonia)
When reacted with litmus paper they change red litmus to blue color
They are slippery to the touch
React with acids to neutralize their respective properties
Turn pink when Phenolphthalein is added to the solution.
Bases are classified as:
Alkalis or Caustics, such as NaOH (sodium hydroxide) and KOH (potassium hydroxide).
Concentrated weak bases, such as NH3 (ammonia) in a concentrated solution.
Alkali metals in metallic form, (i.e. elemental sodium), and hydrides of alkaline and alkali earth metals, i.e. NaH (sodium hydride), which function as a strong hydrate and bases to produce caustics.
Superbases, which are extremely strong bases, such as metal amides, alkoxides, (i.e. NaNH2 – sodium amide), and C4H9Li (butyllithium), which is an organometallic base.
Uses of Bases
Bases like Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) are used in manufacturing soap, synthetic fiber rayon, and paper. It is also used in manufacturing some medicines and petroleum-refining, in cleaning sinks, ovens, and drains. Sodium bicarbonate (NAHCO3) is used in toothpaste, fire extinguisher, and baking soda. Calcium hydroxide (slaked lime) is used in the manufacture of bleaching powder. It is mixed with water and sand to create mortar that is used in the construction of buildings.
Slaked lime is also made use by the farmers on the fields for neutralizing the dangerous effects of acid rain. Calcium hydroxide also neutralizes the acid in water supplies and is used as a dressing material for burns caused by acid, as an antidote for cases of food poisoning, in the making of fungicides, in the whitewash mixture, and in dentistry. Bases are used in alkaline batteries like potassium hydroxide. They are also used in antiperspirant armpit deodorant, and in neutralizing soil acidity. Ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH) is used to clean grease stains from clothes.
An acid is a chemical substance which when dissolved in water produces a solution with hydrogen ion activity more than purified water A base is an aqueous substance that absorbs hydrogen ions.
Acids depend upon the temperature; acids would look solid, liquid, or in the form of gas. Bases are slippery and solid in nature (the exception is ammonia, which is gaseous).
Sour in taste Bitter in taste
Disassociation
Acids release hydrogen ions (h+) when mixed with water Bases would release hydroxide ions(OH-) when mixed with water
Those compound whose chemical formula begins with H are acids, for example, HCl (Hydrochloric acid) Those compounds whose chemical formula ends with OH are bases, for example, KOH (Potassium hydroxide)
pH scale
Less than 7 Greater than 7
Test with Litmus
When in contact with Acid, the blue litmus paper turns into red When in contact with Base, the red litmus paper turns into blue
Phenolphthalein Indicator
It remains colorless It changes to pink color
Used as preservatives, fertilizers, processing leather, household cleaning, etc. Used in antacid, soaps, detergents, cleanser, etc.
Acetic acid and sulphuric acid Sodium Hydroxide and Ammonia
Acids and bases will play a vital role in our daily life because of the reactions, from digesting food to removing soap scum off a shower wall. Acids and bases are very significant in balancing the pH levels in the body so that it stays at a level of 7. When a person consumes acidic foods, the body uses a buffering system to neutralize the positive ions produced by the acids. On the other hand, bases are required to regulate and control the body from becoming too alkaline.
We conclude that both acids and bases are an important part of life, and are found in the environment, in foods, and in chemicals, including pharmaceuticals. They are vital, not only in the chemistry laboratory but also in our daily lives.

Lawmakers Push For More Student Loan Transparency
By Regan McCarthy • Jun 12, 2017
Originally published on June 9, 2017 6:05 pm
A report from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York says on average, recent college grads are leaving school with more than $30,000 in debt. And Florida lawmakers worry many of those students haven't given much thought to how they'll pay that money back.
Senator Aaron Bean (R-Jacksonville) says when students take out loans, they're not often thinking about what paying those loans off might look like in the future.
"One of the things we've seen explode in recent years is student loans and how students can be oblivious to the borrowing that they engage in and how they're bewildered upon graduation about the amount of payment and the amount of borrowing they have done," Bean says.
Bean says when people buy homes they're given a slew of information about their mortgages.
"You are given notice of the cost of that money—the true cost of that money, which is called a truth in lending statement. It's what the government requires lenders to provide you to what the actual interest rate is, to what the cost will be, what your loan payments will be. And that works out because you can make a sound decision," Bean says.
And Bean says it makes sense that students should be given access to that same kind of information so they too can make sound decisions about how much they might really need in student loans.
"The fastest rising debt load in our nation right now is student loan debt. Student loan debt has dramatically increased from $350-billion in 2004 to this year $1.26 trillion," Bean says.
And Emily Dovydaitis, a student from the University of Central Florida says having more information would be beneficial. She says she'd like to break away from the stereotype of the boomerang generation—or students who go away for college, but end up back at home later, at least in part because of the financial constraints associated with student loan debt. Dovydaitis says universities aim to help students navigate number of issues they encounter as young adults preparing to enter the workforce, and she thinks that should extend to helping them understand their finances.
"It also extends to services which aren't just in the classroom. When I get sick I go to the health center. When I need my resume looked at, I go to career services. So, universities are looking to extend to real world issues that affect us students—like financial literacy. After all, our success as students won't just be defined by our GPA or what jobs we find, it's also defined by our financial security immediately following graduation," Dovydaitis says.
Lawmakers passed a bill during the recent legislative session to ensure universities provide that information to their students. The measure is now waiting on Governor Rick Scott's desk. He has not yet taken action on the bill, but it seems likely it will garner his support. Scott has historically spoken in favor of affordable education, including this recent remark on a comprehensive education bill.
"I think it's important that we focus on the education system for all students in our state and that's what I'm going to do," Scott said.
Scott has until the June 15 to either sign the student loan measure, let it pass with no action, or veto it.

I Can't Be The Only One Drowning In Student Debt
By editor • Aug 14, 2016
For-profit colleges have gotten some unwanted government attention lately—for aggressive recruiting and high interest rates on loans, and for misleading students about what their degrees will help them accomplish.

Q: Custom Slider Not Sliding involves XSL I am working on making a jQuery slider and I can't seem to make the slider actually slide. The arrows are working because a class that I added is being added but it is not causing the images to slide over. The images are being drawn to the slider and appear correctly with the images falling off of the slider on the right. What is wrong with my code that it is not sliding? Any help is very appreciated
Here is my XSL (had to take off the first two xsl tags for some reason for this to display. let me know if you need them):
   <xsl:param name="StyleNode" />
<xsl:if test="$Node/RelatedProducts_Expanded != ''">

Related Products

            <xsl:for-each select="$Node/RelatedProducts_Expanded/Option">

                  <xsl:if test="./ImageFile != ''">

                        </xsl:attribute>
                        <xsl:attribute name="alt">
                          <xsl:value-of select="./DisplayName"/>

        var $clip = $(wrapper + ' .clipper');
        $prev.addClass("disabled");

A: Does your XSLT execute on client or server side? If on server side, is it XSLT 1.0 or XSLT 2.0? A couple of issues with your XSLT:

*

*As presented now, it is not XSLT, did you forget the XSLT header and namespaces?

*The xsl:if is at the root, but it is not allowed there, is must be in a sequence constructor, for instance inside xsl:template.

*Solving XSLT issues is best done by taking the input node and store it locally and run the XSLT offline against an XSLT processor, for XSLT 1.0, you could use MSXML. You can use Visual Studio, or there are trial versions of oXygen or Stylus Studio that you can use.

*If the XSLT above is a snippet, the variable $Node is not bound to anything, as written it will raise a syntax error.

*If XSLT 1.0, you cannot use the variable bindings on node-sets, unless with vendor extension functions or the exslt:node-set function supported by most. But in your case you would not need that, simply do an xsl:apply-templates, if the node is not there, it won't be applied (generally, XSLT has very little branching and xsl:if statements)

*Your nested xsl:for-each is best replaced by a xsl:apply-templates and a corresponding matching template, this reduces nesting and makes it easier maintainable

*Where are your main xsl:template entry points? Can you update your question with the actual XSLT? What do you use for transforming the XML with jQuery? How did you bind the XSLT with the XML (processing instruction,server-side preprocessing, client-side pre-/post-procesing, other)?

'I think there's a total disconnect between the rule makers and the players and the people on the ground'
The defeat of Donegal's Congress motion was debated last night.

THE DEFEAT OF Donegal's motion to prevent Dublin from playing two Super 8s games at Croke Park was a hot topic to emerge from the 2019 GAA Congress in Wexford on Saturday.
Dublin faced Donegal in the Super 8s last summer. Source: James Crombie/INPHO
Motion 39 sought to stop Croke Park from being utilised as a home venue in inter-county championship fixtures, but was soundly beaten when it went to the floor.
It means Dublin will be able to play twice at the stadium this season if they reach the Super 8s, like they did in the inaugural running of the format in 2018 when they took on Donegal and Roscommon.
The debate cropped up on Allianz League Sunday on RTÉ with Tomás Ó Sé siding with the Donegal argument on the motion.
The Kerry All-Ireland winner also questioned where Congress in its current guise is serving the GAA well.
"I get where Dublin are coming from, John Costello will defend Dublin at any cost and he will want the best for his fans.
"But the argument that Donegal put forward, I think is perfect. It was called negative and mean-spirited, I wouldn't agree with that one bit. I think they tabled a motion, is it unfair to play two games at home.
"And for me Croke Park is home for the Dubs. If it's a home venue, how did they play there twice?
"The top table, there's a lot being talked about, do they dictate what happens? Congress is supposed to be a democracy, to me it's not. I think it's a small percentage of people that run it their own way. I think there's a total disconnect between the rule makers and the players and the people on the ground.
"It doesn't bother me. I'd play Dublin anywhere, I'd play them in the backyard if I had to. It's not the point and I think it's unfair and I think Donegal were completely legitimate and I thought it was a fair motion to bring and it's a fair question to ask.

Speaking on OTB AM, Donegal chairman Mick McGrath said they were disappointed with the outcome at Congress.
He also insisted that their motive for submitting the motion was based on fairness and was not meant as an attack on Dublin.
"We weren't trying to move Dublin out for the O'Byrne Cup, the National League, the Leinster championship, All-Ireland semi-finals or finals.
"It was just the one game in the quarter-finals and the reasoning behind that was it was deemed there would be a neutral game, a home game and an away game of the three games in the group.
"But when you've got one county that can declare the ground as a neutral and a home base, then we find that very difficult. Our members were puzzled by that.
"We're quite disappointed that we didn't get more support but we have to accept democracy from the floor."
He added that he had no problem with Dublin taking a defensive stance on the issue, but expressed disappointment with former GAA president Sean Kelly, who labelled the motion as 'negative'.
"If there was any divisiveness, it came from him not from us. We would have had a good enough relationship with him down through the years. We weren't looking for any favours from anybody, we were only looking for one word 'fairness.'
"To say we were 'negative'… we were far from negative and at no stage were we afraid or concerned about playing Dublin in Croke Park. We played them there many's the time and we're the last county to beat them in the championship there."
Kelly responded to McGrath's comments later in the show and reiterated his view, saying he "commented practically on the wording of the motion".
"It was written in a negative sense because it said no county could nominate Croke Park as their home venue. That's a negative [and] that's what I was talking about.
"I think if it was approached in a different light, it might have got a different result."

Jean Dassier, né le  ou  à Genève et mort dans la même ville le , est un médailleur genevois.

Biographie

Famille
Originaire de Lyon, la famille Dassier se réfugie à Genève à la Saint-Barthélemy. Jean Dassier est le fils de Domaine Dassier (1640-1719), nommé graveur de la Monnaie de la République de Genève, et de Sara Le Grand. Le couple aura six enfants, parmi lesquels Paul (1681-1768), également médailleur.

En 1703, Jean Dassier épouse Anne Prévost-Gaudy dont il aura deux fils également médailleurs, Jacques-Antoine (1715-1759), et Antoine (1718-1780), lequel ne gravera que très peu. Antoine est le père de Pierre Dassier, général au service de France et l'ancêtre de Gustave Ador, président de la Confédération suisse en 1919-1920.

Les Dassier furent les seuls médailleurs de leur siècle cités dans l'Encyclopédie de Diderot et d'Alembert.

Carrière
Après avoir étudié à Paris avec Jean Mauger et Jean Roëttiers, Jean Dassier devient l'assistant de son père.

En 1712, il est admis comme maître à la corporation des orfèvres avec son frère Paul. En 1720, Jean Dassier succède à son père comme graveur de la République. Il grave successivement :
 en 1711 : les Métamorphoses d'Ovide (60 médailles) avec le français Jérôme Roussel ;
 en 1723 : Les hommes illustres du siècle de Louis XIV ;
 en 1725-1728 : Les Réformateurs de l'Église.

Après deux voyages à Londres en 1728 puis en 1731, il grave deux séries : Les rois d'Angleterre et Les Britanniques célèbres.

La série Histoire de la République romaine (1740-1743) est certainement la plus recherchée et a donné lieu à un livre en 1778 en donnant l'explication.

En 1738, il  est  nommé au Conseil des Deux-Cents. Jean Dassier a très bien connu Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778), étant comme lui un citoyen de Genève.

En 1753, il obtient de Montesquieu de graver une médaille avec la mention Hinc Jura.

À sa mort, son fils Jacques-Antoine prend sa place comme graveur à la Monnaie de Genève. L'entreprise Dassier et fils continue de produire des boîtiers de montres mais ne grave plus de médailles.

Hedge Funds-News
PepsiCo, Inc. (PEP), Oracle Corporation (ORCL): Donald Yacktman Still Bets on Big Consumer and Tech Stocks
Published on May 1, 2015 at 11:44 am by Alexandr Oleinic in Hedge Funds,News
Donald Yacktman's Yacktman Asset Management is one of the most widely-followed funds in the US due to its focus on value investing. Yacktman is known for his rather conservative approach that is very similar to Warren Buffett's strategy. His equity portfolio is comprised mostly of large and mega-cap stocks that are among the largest and most popular across their industries. Yacktman Asset Management's latest 13F revealed an equity portfolio valued at $24.12 billion, slightly higher over the quarter. The 13F portfolio contains a total of 50 long positions, mostly in consumer, technology and healthcare sector companies. The largest stakes are represented by PepsiCo, Inc. (NYSE:PEP), Procter & Gamble Co (NYSE:PG), and The Coca-Cola Co (NYSE:KO), which have been on the top for at least a year.
Copyright: Insider Monkey
Even though Yacktman invests mainly in large- and mega-cap stocks, as part of our research, we are more interested in his small-cap picks. Through extensive backtests, we determined that imitating a portfolio of the 15 most popular small-cap picks among investors can generate around one percentage point in excess of the S&P 500 Total Return Index's monthly return on average. Moreover, these picks generated an alpha of around 80 basis points per month. By comparison, the 50 most popular stocks among hedge funds overall (which are mostly large- and mega-cap companies) had a monthly alpha of six basis points, but underperformed the market by around seven basis points per month. This strategy had a return of around 138% in the last 2.5 years since we started following it in real time and beat the S&P 500 ETF (SPY) by over 80 percentage points (read more details here).
Yacktman owns shares of the two largest producers of soft drinks, PepsiCo, Inc. (NYSE:PEP) and The Coca-Cola Co (NYSE:KO), the stakes being the first and third largest in terms of value. In PepsiCo, Yacktman trimmed its stake by around 1.50 million shares to 25.49 million shares valued at $2.44 billion. The decline comes as PepsiCo, Inc. (NYSE:PEP)'s stock inched down by 1.8% during the first quarter. Moreover, for the first three months of 2015, PepsiCo posted a 3.2% annual decline in revenue to $12.22 billion, mainly affected by a stronger dollar. PepsiCo had been in the middle of a proxy contest with another investor, Nelson Peltz of Trian Partners, who had been trying to push for a separation of the company's snacks segment. However, in January PepsiCo, Inc. (NYSE:PEP) agreed to appoint Trian's adviser Bill Johnson to its board of directors, thus ending the proxy fight. Trian owns 17.87 million shares of the company as of the end of 2014.
In The Coca-Cola Co (NYSE:KO), Yacktman also reduced its stake, by 5% on the quarter to 38.93 million shares worth $1.58 billion. Similar to PepsiCo, Coca Cola's sales have put a negative stance on its revenue, which slightly missed expectations in the first quarter at $1.63 billion (down by 13% on the year). Moreover, The Coca-Cola Co (NYSE:KO)'s stock declined by more than 3% during the first quarter. Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway is the largest shareholder of The Coca-Cola Co (NYSE:KO), owning 400.00 million shares according to its latest 13F filing.

THE CURIOUS INDEX, 10/20/2014
New, 1030 comments
BRIAN KELLY DOESN'T THINK THAT WAS A CHARGE
By Ryan Nanni Oct 20, 2014, 10:31am EDT
Share All sharing options for: THE CURIOUS INDEX, 10/20/2014
BRIAN KELLY IS MAD AT YOU. Who calls traveling in a pick up game? And also he didn't travel. That was a vicious half step and you're just mad you got blown by and dunked on. Did he mention the double dribble he didn't call on you? You're disgusting.
BEHIND THE SCENES. This is a video in which I list three possible candidates for the inevitably-fired Will Muschamp. Because it is a list, the Internet started gnawing on it almost immediately, as lists are the Internet's primary source of sustenance. Some scientists estimate that the Internet would die after 7-9 days without a list. But I'm going to reveal a secret to you, valued EDSBS reader, about this particular list.
It was thrown together in an almost entirely half-assed matter, because the truth is I have no idea who Florida will hire, just like I had no idea they would hire Ron Zook in 2002. Life is full of mysteries that lists cannot account for. (We will later attempt to list those mysteries all the same, because hoo boy that Internet is a hungry child.)
MMM SCOREBOARD THOUGH. Sure, Steven Godfrey has "facts" and "analysis" and "good writing" to support the argument that Georgia isn't better with Todd Gurley held out of games, but I know two things. One, 2-0's better than 4-1. Two, ahahahaha Mark Richt called his passing game "aggressive" when they only threw the ball 17 times.
AND THEN THERE WERE TWELVE. Archie Manning's sitting out this Playoff Committee year due to knee surgery that will prevent him traveling. You know what this is, right? It's step one in Ty Willingham's plan to take out every other committee member so he's left in sole control of the selection process, enabling him to create his perfect bracket:
1. Sitting quietly in an airport terminal
2. Filing cabinets
3. Virginia (the state)
4. Virginia (the school)
ETC. Congratulations to Peyton Manning, the NFL's new all-time passing touchdowns leader. This isn't from his professional days, but we think it's his best scoring throw.

Arrest of woman for leaking nude photo of male colleague prompts petition in Korea
The Korea Herald/Asia News Network
More than 270,000 South Koreans have signed an online petition asking for the fair investigation of online and digital sexual violence cases, regardless of the perpetrators' gender, after a female suspect was arrested for secretly taking a photo of her male colleague while he was posing nude for university students, and then distributing it online without the victim's consent.
Those who signed the petition say that while the authorities' treatment of the case has been just and ideal, the way they have been dealing with female victims of digital and online sexual violence has been extremely different from the way male victims are treated.
"Women are also citizens of the Republic of Korea," the petition reads. "In a country where victims and perpetrators are being treated differently according to their genders, no one really is safe including men."
The 25-year-old female suspect, who is only identified by her last name Ahn, was photographed by reporters as she was leaving a police station after being questioned Saturday. She was eventually brought into custody later in the day.
Once harassed herself, South Korean lawyer fights for #MeToo victims
According to 2016 data from the Korean National Police Agency, some 5,184 sexual harassment cases including spy-cam footage -- illegally uploaded video footage created by using hidden cameras in public spaces such as changing rooms in gyms or toilets -- were reported that year. More than 80 per cent of the victims were women.
Also in the same year, more than 7,300 requests were made to remove revenge porn -- sexually explicit images or videos of someone uploaded without the subject's consent, often illegally uploaded by a victim's ex-romantic partners.
It took South Korean authorities 10 years to shut down SoraNet, a highly popular adult file-sharing site where users -- mostly male -- shared revenge and spy-cam porn; their decision was only made after years of protests by female activists surged against its content.
"I'm not saying the female suspect who leaked the nude photo is innocent," said Park Jin-young, a 28-year-old professional in Seoul.
"But as far as I remember, I've never seen any male suspect being photographed by reporters after being investigated by the authorities. And I know there are countless of them out there, those who have created and distributed secretly filmed footage of women."
Another woman in her 20s, who only wanted to be identified by her last name Kim, said she was stunned by how "easy" and "fast" the police had tracked down the female suspect.
"I see justice being served to the male victim in the quickest manner possible," she said. "So now my question is, why hasn't the same been happening to countless female victims of this specific form of violence? What does this say about our country and its treatment of women?"
Local women's activists point out that male perpetrators of online sexual violence have indeed been receiving comparatively lax treatment from the authorities.
In December, five professional Korean male swimmers, accused of installing a spy camera in a women's changing room and secretly filming their female colleagues at the training facility, were found not guilty. The ruling has been questioned by women's rights activists, as the court's decision was made although one of the swimmers had confessed to committing the crime.
No public criticism at the scale of that against Ahn -- the suspect of the nude photo leak -- had taken place when the allegation surfaced in 2016.
The presidential office of South Korea is obliged to give a response if more than 200,000 people support a petition within 30 days.


Despite a nerve racking start to the growing season, the 2017 harvest has provided a generous yield of high quality fruit and our second largest harvest to date.
Severe advection frosts at the end of April devastated many vineyards in northern Europe for the second year in a row. Although our vineyard didn't escape completely unscathed on the whole we were extremely fortunate. Spring and early summer brought fine, dry conditions that saw the vines race ahead. Flowering in the Pinot noir and Pinot meunier happened quickly with good fruit set. The Chardonnay, being a week or so behind, was affected slightly by showery weather but was still successful. Following flowering the weather became rather unsettled with a lot of rain throughout August and into early September.
Development of a separate grape receival area greatly improved the efficiency of initial fruit processing. In addition, the construction of an innovative barrel racking system and the purchase of new tanks, has not only provided us with the capability to hold reserve wine from year to year but also allowed us to increase our capacity for contract winemaking.
Although the Pinot noir was the highest cropping variety this year, it is the Chardonnay that was of the highest quality. In a move to reduce winemaking inputs and improve wine quality almost all the juice was left to spontaneously ferment. Some batches of the Pinot noir were a little sluggish and were inoculated to remove any risk of spoilage. All of the Pinot meunier and Chardonnay was fermented using indigenous yeasts and initial impressions are excellent.


Thanks for the guide, having a good time so far. It's too bad Aul's amulet with Haste/Hatred mod is a bit difficult to obtain. Watcher's + Aul phasing combo looks like a massive quality of life boast with how hectic things can get while waiting for the crawler to kill things. How is uber elder without it?
This is first build I used that I didn't have to even consider paying for uber lab.
A+, highly recommended, cheap to start, all you really need is 5l chest (so you can fit pierce) and 4l bow and you can explode white maps no problems. Janky AI means doorways are challenging but use convocation wisely and it's manageable.
As soon as you get Herald you can start shredding through people, even with just RoA and Lesser Poison.
Crawling through the Leagues, as usual.
I like the build alot. Maps are a breeze, nothing really too troubling. But Delve on the other hand is a mess. I don't get how you can survive :p I just get surounded and fucked hard.
Also try not to use quicksilver when cart is moving. Your minion's dps has to be high enough to keep up with your movement speed. If you still think you are moving too fast, use a 0 speed boot. I only quicksilver when I am confident about my minion's dps.
EDIT: I have added a section about delving to front page.
UPDATE: Ok, a little update. I've only done a few notes this way so far. But just hanging back like you said really helped, atleast in these biomes. Even at zerg notes I tried to find a spot where I can stand out of the circle that they spawn in, and with knockback they never get down to me, past ghosts etc.
Why Assassin Mark Curse Used?
And since the minion has insane base damage, you can sometimes find yourself perma freezing T15 bosses.
Whether Hatred is necessary to this build?
I hesitate to use either Hatred or Haste because of your Aul's amulet cost (15ex-20ex) that makes me not able to use both auras. So, I decide to drop Hatred and use Haste instead for permanent phasing. What do you think about this?
Hatred is a must to this build. At least for my version.
I am using Elemental Equilibrium to boost the elemental damage of my minion, and that is the only best way to improve dps.
Haste is only used as a QoL improvement to my build, since I always want to play all contents in game with a single build. The dps it gives is negligible.
And I just couldn't afford a Hatred amulet back when I was still making the build. Even now actually, the price skyrocketed a lot.
The ideal situation is: get a Hatred amulet, replace Coming Calamity with Loreweave/Kaom's Heart, use a +3 minion helmet with insanity mod and minion damage support.

Most of the processes now are lucid and streamlined. Beginning with application for fresh certificate / licence and payment of designated fees to downloading the final approval certificate, the end-user does not need a physical touch point. All the vital service delivery processes have been bound by strict timelines under the "West Bengal Right to Public Services Act, 2013".
The inspection procedures have also been revisited and redesigned so as to make them transparent and time-bound. Submission of inspection reports within a stipulated timeline has been mandated by the Department.
To further ease the application and certification procedures, the applicants have been vested with the powers of Self-Certification under several Labour Laws.
The Labour Department is making relentless efforts to further ease the procedures and diminish the timelines. The Department is pledged to ease the procedures, rapid processing and faster delivery of services.

Butterfly effect was an awesome movie!!!!!
Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith!
After BB6 last night, we watched "Monster-in-Law"!
Why? Since neither of us care much for JLo or Jane Fonda.
We needed a good laugh! We did get some!
Memento is EXCELLENT and was considered "snubbed" for the best picture of the year catagory that year at the Oscars. It's one I personally own.
Just seen Million Dollar Baby. It was good but to sad for me, not what I expected.
I have to see this movie... the trailer was amusing, and I've heard nothing BUT good reviews for it... seems like the thing to do this weekend..
Watched Sin City with some friends this weekend. Not sure how I feel about that. The cinematography was incredible, but I for one did not like the message it portrayed.


Physical fitness has been a passion of mine ever since I can remember. Running track and playing soccer in high school to working out at gyms and rock climbing. My love continued to grow once I began working with a personal trainer and saw just how much they inspired me and showed me how strong I was physically and mentally.
I've attended ECA taking additional training and studies in Kettle Bells, Functional Movement and many more. I will continue to learn so I can always be better for my clients.
I want to share my passion and make a difference in other people's lives. As you know, being around others that share the same values makes you that much stronger.


Danvers Devereaux - Matakana Botanicals Are you wondering what the newly built, ever-so-stylish black barns on the way out to Leigh are? They're the new home of Matakana Botanicals (formerly Les Floralies). We caught up with managing director, Danvers Devereaux, to get the lowdown.
Are you from the Matakana Coast?
My mother Colyn started Les Floralies 25 years ago, and about two years after that she bought our beach house in Leigh. It's been the family sanctuary and creative hub. A lot of our ideas have been born in the 'ship' as we call it. Plenty of them started out on wine-stained napkins at one o'clock in the morning. Our Leigh house is also the reason why many of our ingredients are sourced in the region.
How did Matakana Botanicals come to be?
Mum saw potpourri (fragrant wood shavings) while on a business trip to America and realised no one was doing it here. Les Floralies was born - it suited the European luxe image business called for at the time.
We had an old bathtub in the garage where we lived in Remuera and she used to dye and fragrance the shavings there. One day it might be all pink as it was rose pot pourri making time, the next purple for lavender. My sister Charlotte and I were the 'baggers', and I was the delivery boy the next day. During winter we'd sometimes have to use the dryer to dry the shavings and my shirts would come out tie-dyed afterward!
Why did you change the name from Les Floralies to Matakana Botanicals?
Not so long ago I was hosting some of our overseas distributors and, as is my usual habit, I brought them up to Matakana to visit the markets and see the region to show them where our inspiration and ingredients come from. They said 'it's a great picture, but East Tamaki (where we were then based) doesn't fit'. I was also asked why we had a European name when we were so 'Kiwi'. The penny dropped. I re-branded the business as Matakana Botanicals and we relocated here.
I bought the property four years ago and it was a mess. Old abandoned cars and other detritus littered the land. The house hadn't been lived in for six years and was infested with rats. It's certainly been a labour of love creating our new base.
I've been immersed in this area for a long time so everything has evolved in an organic way. Over the years I've come to know many local growers who supply our hero ingredients.
We were the first to plant olive trees in the area. Our honey comes from Great Barrier Island, with macadamia and manuka oil being produced locally. On our property we grow a special variety of lavender, which is steam-distilled. The oil is utilised in our unique 'sleep sniff boxes'. These are proudly supplied to first-class passengers on Emirates flights.
Sustainability is part of our ethos. A lot of what we've created is eco-friendly. We have solar power, which saves us about 83 per cent in power, and the barns were built by Custom Kit using regenerated pine. We have a septic tank system called Biolytix, which uses tiger worms to convert waste into garden water; we harvest rainwater and we plant bee-friendly plants. It's fantastic!
What do you love most about where we live?
I have a personal interest and background in horticulture, so I love our connection to this hugely fertile region, as well as to our growers and beekeepers. It provides a wonderful canvas in which to create and present our products to a global market. It's a constant source of inspiration. For example, our new Coast & Country range and its fragrances are always in mind as I move around the area.
Mandarin & Verbena: inspired by the many citrus orchards around Point Wells.
Rose & Peony: the gorgeous bay of Whangateau, which is well known for growing unique red 'Whangateau Red Roses'.
Lime & Grapefruit: just past Ascension Vineyard you will see an old brick chimney in an orchard which happens to grow the amazing limes we buy.
Cocoa & Vanilla: inspired by the local farmers market and the early morning aromas of fresh coffee and sweet crêpes floating through the air.
