En onlinetegneserie (på engelsk: webcomic eller online comic) er en webbaseret tegneserie. Størstedelen af dem findes udelukkende på nettet, selvom en del af dem også kan købes i print, oftest i forbindelse med, at de har fået sig en fast læserskare gennem tiden. Onlinetegneserier har opnået stor succes gennem tiden på grund af internettets muligheder for nemt at kunne komme ud med sin tegneserie, og den åbenlyse fordel, at det er billigt og nemt at skabe en tegneserie i farver uden at skulle trykke den, og så samtidig gøre den tilgængelig for hele verden.

Tegneserier i onlineform har vist sig at være et medie, der er kommet for at blive, og som konstant bliver udforsket på nye måder, da den økonomiske frihed bragte enorm kunstnerisk frihed med sig. Og ligeså gjorde den digitale form det muligt, at lave tegneserier der ikke var mulige i print. På den måde adskiller onlinetegneserier sig ofte fra tegneserier i print, meget i stil og format.

Community
Samtidig med, at antallet af onlinetegneserier er vokset, er der også at stigende antal af såkaldte "webcomic communities". Der er fanbaser, som kunstnerne skaber gennem brugen af fora, fansektioner og blogs. Kunstnerne selv skaber også et community gennem udveksling af emails, links, forum posts og måske gæstetegninger til andre striber, fan art eller cross-overs. Der er også deciderede webcomic-lister, hvor de forskellige serier kan kæmpe sig op til toppen på listerne og derved få flere læsere (buzzComix, onlinecomics.net og DrunkDuck), eller andre sider, der samler links til de utallige onlinetegneserier der findes.

Økonomi
De fleste tegneserieskabere, der vælger onlineformen er nødt til at betale det hele ud af egen lomme, hvilket mest er serverplads og tegneredskaber, hvorefter de så lægger deres serie gratis ud på nettet. For at en onlinetegneserie skal kunne tjene penge, så er den nødt til at have opbygget sig en solid læserskare, der er villig til at betale penge for at holde serien i live. Mange onlinetegneserier har levet på donationer fra fans, og når de havde besøgende nok kunne de indsætte reklamer på deres websted. Dette er også en nødvendighed, da hosting bliver dyrere, jo flere besøgende der kommer. Merchandise har også være en metode, samt at få opbygget sig et ry, så man modtager tegnerelaterede opgaver fra andre sider. De mest succesfulde tegneserier har udgivet deres serier på tryk, f.eks. PVP, Penny Arcade, Sluggy Freelance, Megatokyo, Kiwis by beat og mange flere.

For nogle kunstnere er det muligt at arbejde fuldtid på deres serie uden at behøve et sidejob for at have råd til det. Denne gruppe af professionelle webcomicskabere omfatter blandt mange andre Scott Ramsoomair fra VG Cats, Jeph Jacques fra Questionable Content, R. K. Milholland fra Something Positive, Tim Buckley fra Ctrl+Alt+Del.

And I like the idea of rapid conversion speeds (5x – 18x real time) so not only can I have the format I want, I can have it quickly.
It is truly a helpful converter. Compared with Handbrake I used before, MacX Video Converter Pro is much easier to operate.
Generally, it is good program for conversion. It can work the same fast as Handbrake, but more handy. Even though you have no knowledge about video codes and settings, you can easily do the operations by selecting the preset you want. Anyone who wants to convert videos can try this program and you don't need to worry about the quality, it's just superb.
Recently, when I was during YouTube download and conversion, the process is not so smooth and I couldn't get back to the main screen. The only way to get to main screen is to close the software and then open it again. This makes me feel strange. All the buttons are on the main screen. All in all, MacX Video Converter Pro is good and useful.


Product Overview: Recombinant human Interleukin 32, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography,19.1 kDa (168aa).
Description: Interleukin 32 isoform A belongs to cytokine family. This protein expression is increased after the activation of T-cells by mitogens or the activation of NK cells by IL-2. It has the ability to induce proinflammatory cytokines such as TNFα and IL8 in THP1 cells, and activates typical cytokine signaling pathways involving NFκB and p38. IL-32 can also support osteoclast differentiation but not osteoclast activation by regulating the MAPK/ERK pathway and the actin cytoskeleton.

We report a case of an adult male who presented with recurrent massive hemorrhagic pleural effusion with a mediastinal cyst due to an unusual complication of pancreatic pseudocyst-like pancreaticopleural fistula and a mediastinal pseudocyst. The clinical presentation was misleading since the patient presented with predominantly respiratory complaints. High index of suspicion of pancreatic etiology in recurrent massive hemorrhagic pleural effusion may lead to the diagnosis.

Moorthy N, Raveesha A, Prabhakar K. Pancreaticopleural fistula and mediastinal pseudocyst: An unusual presentation of acute pancreatitis. Ann Thorac Med [serial online] 2007 [cited 2020 Jan 29];2:122-3. Available from: http://www.thoracicmedicine.org/text.asp?2007/2/3/122/33701
Pancreaticopleural fistula and mediastinal pseudocyst are an uncommon but significant complications of pancreatitis. Accurate and early diagnosis is dependent on recognition of characteristic clinical and imaging findings.
A 30-year-old male, a chronic alcoholic and smoker, was admitted to the hospital with history of fever, dry cough and pleuritic type of chest pain, progressive shortness of breath, weight loss and loss of appetite of 15 days' duration. On examination, the patient was febrile and dyspneic. Respiratory system examination was suggestive of left-sided pleural effusion. Examination of abdomen, cardiovascular system and central nervous system was normal.
Routine investigation reports were as follows: Hb - 10 g/dl, TC - 14,230 cells/cu. mm with lymphocytosis and ESR - 76 mm at 1 h. Chest X ray PA view showed left-sided massive pleural effusion. Pleural fluid was hemorrhagic with protein - 3.5 g/dl and sugar - 74 mg/dl; cell count was 720 cells/cu. mm, 60% lymphocytes, no malignant cells. Culture was sterile.
Considering the fact that tuberculosis is the most common cause of exudative pleural effusion in India; and also based on history, clinical examination and investigation reports, a diagnosis of tubercular pleural effusion was made and the patient was started on antitubercular drugs. Few days later, the patient developed marked dyspnea and a soft cystic swelling on the right side of the neck.
Computerized tomography (CT) scan thorax-abdomen showed massive left-sided pleural effusion with compressive collapse of left lung and a posterior mediastinal cyst measuring 5 ´ 5.5 cm just adjacent to the esophagus, extending to the neck [Figure - 1]. It also showed pancreatic pseudocyst measuring 9 ´ 3.5 cm abutting the left crus of the diaphragm near esophageal hiatus communicating with the mediastinal cyst [Figure - 2]. Pleural fluid amylase and the corresponding serum amylase were 44,671 IU /L and 430 IU /L respectively. So the diagnosis of pancreatic pseudocyst with pancreaticopleural fistula with a huge mediastinal pseudocyst was made.
The patient had recurrent episodes of massive left-sided hemorrhagic pleural effusion. He was treated with intercostal drainage for 3 weeks and intravenous octreotide. Repeat CT scan done after 3 weeks showed complete resolution of the effusion, mediastinal cyst and pseudocyst of pancreas. With the instruction to stop alcohol consumption, the patient was discharged on day 30.
Thus we have reported a case of pancreaticopleural fistula and a mediastinal pseudocyst as an unusual presentation of acute pancreatitis causing recurrent massive hemorrhagic pleural effusion, which was managed conservatively with success.
The more commonly recognized complications of pancreatitis are those that are localized to the abdomen, such as pancreatic and peripancreatic pseudocysts, abscess and pancreatic necrosis and pseudoaneurysm formation. However, extra-abdominal complications of pancreatitis such as thoracopancreatic fistula do occur. Thoracopancreatic fistula is a rare complication of pancreatitis that manifests as a fistulous communication between the pancreas and chest. Thoracopancreatic fistulas are divided into four types based on the termination site of the fistula - pancreaticopleural, mediastinal pseudocyst, pancreaticobronchial and pancreaticopericardial. [1]
Although the exact incidence of thoracopancreatic fistula is difficult to determine, a review of the English medical literature extending from 1965 to 1990 yielded only 89 cases of thoracopancreatic fistulas. Rockey and Cello reported the occurrence of pancreaticopleural fistulas in ~0.4% of patients with pancreatitis. Pancreaticopleural fistulas have been noted in 2.3-4.5% of patients presenting with pancreatic pseudocyst. [2] The presentation is often confusing because of the paucity of clues suggestive of pancreatic disease and the preponderance of pulmonary signs and symptoms. Most patents are alcoholics but only one-half will have a clinical history of previous pancreatitis. Pleural effusions are large, recurrent and highly exudative in nature. Many patients go through extensive pulmonary evaluation before the pancreas is identified as the site of primary pathology. [2] The mediastinum is a relatively uncommon site for pancreatic pseudocyst. In most cases, the pseudocyst is located in the posterior mediastinum, with entry to the mediastinum via the aortic or esophageal hiatus. The most common presenting symptoms are chest or abdominal pain and dyspnea. Displacement of the esophagus and stomach anteriorly and to the left on the upper gastrointestinal series and an associated mediastinal mass are the most helpful radiographic manifestations. [3]
The diagnosis of pancreaticopleural fistula is based on the triad of massive pleural effusions, elevated pleural fluid amylase and protein levels. It may develop as a consequence of disruption of a dilated pancreatic duct. Pseudocysts are involved in the process in at least half of the reported cases. [4] Computed tomography is excellent in defining pancreatic abnormalities and should be the first abdominal imaging study in suspected cases. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is used as a diagnostic tool only in confusing cases. [2]
A substantial number of pancreaticopleural fistulas will close spontaneously utilizing conservative measures, including pancreatic rest, total parenteral nutrition and repeated thoracocentesis. Surgical correction of the underlying pancreatic disease, including ductal decompression and drainage or resection of associated pseudocysts, is indicated to prevent recurrence of the fistula and to avoid other complications of advanced chronic pancreatitis. Associated terminal biliary obstruction should be identified and managed with biliary-enteric bypass. The long-term outcome is good in 80-95% of cases. [4],[5]

Andrews likely to sack 'corrupt' Casey council in new year
By Royce Millar and Clay Lucas
December 20, 2019 — 11.17pm
The Andrews government is poised to sack the council at the centre of the Casey land scandal, with a decision likely early in the new year ahead of the resumption of public hearings by the anti-corruption commission.
Political and community pressure is mounting for dramatic action against Casey councillors, who remain free to make decisions and draw ratepayer-funded pay cheques despite allegations that the majority have been either corrupted or compromised by developer and planner, John Woodman.
Brendan Browne is the secretary of the Casey Residents' and Ratepayers' Association - a real residents' group as opposed to the kind that IBAC heard Woodman had funded on behalf of developers. He said the council "need to be sacked as soon as possible. The current situation isn't in the interests of ratepayers."

And Rosalie Counsell, a delegate from another genuine community group, the Green Wedges Coalition, said the council was still making decisions to approve planning applications. One made on December 3, when the IBAC hearings were still on should never have been made while such serious accusations hung over most of the council, she said.
"I think they are dysfunctional."
The dilemma of what to do about Casey became clear at a council meeting this week, when staff proposed that councillors relinquish responsibility for planning decisions because community confidence in the council had been shattered by serious corruption allegations. The council agreed to begin a search for external experts to be on a planning committee.
Meanwhile, all councillors continue to be paid - they get around $32,000 and the mayor $98,000 a year, and they are entitled to attend meetings and vote, including on planning matters. The council has also confirmed that, through insurance, it is paying for Cr Geoff Ablett's legal defence before IBAC. If Cr Ablett is "found to have not acted in good faith", he may be forced to repay the legal fees, a council spokeswoman said.
Senior state and local government sources have acknowledged sacking is now likely with both major parties under pressure over the scandal and seeking the higher moral and political ground.
"All options remain on the table," Local Government Minister Adem Somyurek told The Age on Friday.
The State opposition went further, calling on Friday for Casey's immediate dismissal, even though it is a Liberal-dominated council. "Of course this council should be sacked, as should the Labor-controlled City of Whittlesea," Opposition local government spokesman Tim Smith said.
Mr Somyurek has appointed a special monitor, Laurinda Gardner, to report on governance at Casey, and in a statement to The Age, Mr Somyurek stressed that no decision would be made until the government heard back from her.
Ms Gardner's appointment comes in the wake of alleged corruption revealed in public hearings by the Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission (IBAC) in late November and early December. The public hearings will resume in late February.
Ms Gardner is to report back to the government by January 31. Sacking would require State cabinet approval and an act of parliament. Cabinet is likely to meet on Monday, February 3. Parliament resumes the next day. Government insiders say there is no objection at cabinet level to Casey being sacked.
Over three weeks from mid-November IBAC heard how, in his bid to win lucrative planning approvals on behalf of clients, Mr Woodman allegedly corrupted Liberal-linked former mayors, Sam Aziz and Geoff Ablett. Mr Woodman simultaneously showered councillors and state political candidates - including current Labor frontbenchers - with donations.
As part of his splurge, Mr Woodman tipped almost $100,000 into a covert campaign to secure control of Casey at the 2016 council elections. At least five of candidates bankrolled were elected and remain part of the council: Cr Aziz, former state Liberal candidates and mayors Geoff Ablett and Amanda Stapledon, Liberal activist Damien Rosario and Wayne Smith.
Cr Susan Serey.
A September 2016 email from Mr Woodman listed candidates "friendly" to his interests. Of the 11 elected in 2016 and now on the council, eight were identified as "friendly" including the current mayor, Cr Susan Serey.
IBAC has also heard separately that Mr Woodman helped fund the 2016 council campaign of former Liberal MP Gary Rowe and Labor-linked councillor Tim Jackson. Their election made a clear majority of the 11 Casey councillors recipients of Mr Woodman's largesse. None of the current councillors declared campaign funding or gifts from Mr Woodman or associated companies for the 2016 election.
Cr Serey is also one of three councillors - along with Cr Ablett and Amanda Stapledon - to have received campaign support from Mr Woodman for state parliamentary campaigns. IBAC heard that Mr Woodman spent about $15,000 on mail-outs for Cr Serey's unsuccessful bids for the seat of Narre Warren South in 2014 and 2018.
Of the 11 elected Casey councillors, nine were present at a council meeting on Tuesday night. Councillors Sam Aziz and Geoff Ablett were missing, both were on approved leave. Cr Aziz left Australia before the corruption inquiry began in November. Accused of secretly accepting $900,000 from Mr Woodman, he is due to return to work on January 1. Cr Ablett has returned to work on the council, regardless of the serious accusations against him.

On Tuesday, the council supported a motion by mayor Cr Serey to seek expressions of interest from experts to be part of the new committee to make planning decisions. The council will reconsider the proposal for an expert planning committee at its January council meeting.
Cr Serey was contacted for comment on Tuesday's report, and on the IBAC investigation. For the past fourteen months she has refused to be interviewed by The Age about her links to Mr Woodman. This week she again directed queries to the council's media officer.
Deputy Mayor and former Liberal MP Gary Rowe also refused to comment, saying all media inquiries had to go to the Casey media team. He has refused to talk to The Age for more than a year, as has Cr Ablett.
While Mr Somyurek has the option of suspending rather than sacking the council, this tends to be a lengthy and complicated process. It also allows affected councillors to use council resources to challenge suspension. If the government does sack Casey it is likely to be for a lengthy period, well beyond the scheduled local government election date of 24 October 2020.

Casey Residents and Ratepayers Association secretary Brendan Browne said the situation at the council had now become untenable. "There are real questions around whether it was a fair election last time, given the number of people who received funding from the developer that they never declared."
And he said while it was good Mr Somyurek had done something in appointing a monitor to oversee the council, it was not enough - especially since it had been such a dismal failure in 2016.
That year, then minister Natalie Hutchins appointed a monitor after Narre Warren ratepayers were incorrectly forced to pay charges for a scheme they were never given a chance to object to.
"We have had a monitor in here before and they came back with a glowing report that everything was positive and fine," Mr Browne said. "We can't have that happening again."
Ms Counsell said: "We have known about the problems in that council for so many years, so none of this has come as a complete surprise - but the only way they have caught them is by tapping their phones."
IBAC's concern about the integrity of local government and planning in Victoria appears to be reflected in the appointment of new deputy IBAC commissioner. On Friday the government-appointed David Wolf, the current chief of the council watchdog the Local Government Inspectorate, as deputy to IBAC commissioner, Robert Redlich.

CJB /
1 It was during that time that another large crowd gathered, and they had nothing to eat. Yeshua called his talmidim to him and said to them,
2 "I feel sorry for these people, because they have been with me three days, and now they have nothing to eat.
3 If I send them off to their homes hungry, they will collapse on the way; some of them have come a long distance."
4 His talmidim said to him, "How can anyone find enough bread to satisfy these people in a remote place like this?"
5 "How many loaves do you have?" he asked them. They answered, "Seven."
6 He then told the crowd to sit down on the ground, took the seven loaves, made a b'rakhah, broke the loaves and gave them to his talmidim to serve to the people.
7 They also had a few fish; making a b'rakhah over them he also ordered these to be served.
8 The people ate their fill; and the talmidim took up the leftover pieces, seven large basketsful.
9 About four thousand were there.
10 After sending them away, Yeshua got into the boat with his talmidim and went off to the district of Dalmanuta.
11 The P'rushim came and began arguing with him; they wanted him to give them a sign from Heaven, because they were out to trap him.
12 With a sigh that came straight from his heart, he said, "Why does this generation want a sign? Yes! I tell you, no sign will be given to this generation!"
13 With that, he left them, got into the boat again and went off to the other side of the lake.
14 Now the talmidim had forgotten to bring bread and had with them in the boat only one loaf.
15 So when Yeshua said to them, "Watch out! Guard yourselves from the hametz of the P'rushim and the hametz of Herod,"
16 they thought he had said it because they had no bread.
17 But, aware of this, he said, "Why are you talking with each other about having no bread? Don't you see or understand yet? Have your hearts been made like stone?
18 You have eyes -- don't you see? You have ears -- don't you hear? And don't you remember?
19 When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you collect?" "Twelve," they answered him.
20 "And when I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you collect?" "Seven," they answered.
21 He said to them, "And you still don't understand?"
22 They came to Beit-Tzaidah. Some people brought him a blind man and begged Yeshua to touch him.
23 Taking the blind man's hand, he led him outside the town. He spit in his eyes, put his hands on him and asked him, "Do you see anything?"
24 He looked up and said, "I see people, but they look like walking trees."
25 Then he put his hands on the blind man's eyes again. He peered intently, and his eyesight was restored, so that he could see everything distinctly.
26 Yeshua sent him home with the words, "Don't go into town."
27 Yeshua and his talmidim went on to the towns of Caesarea Philippi. On the way, he asked his talmidim, "Who are people saying I am?"
28 "Some say you are Yochanan the Immerser," they told him, "others say Eliyahu, and still others, one of the prophets."
29 "But you," he asked, "who do you say I am?" Kefa answered, "You are the Mashiach."
30 Then Yeshua warned them not to tell anyone about him.
31 He began teaching them that the Son of Man had to endure much suffering and be rejected by the elders, the head cohanim and the Torah-teachers; and that he had to be put to death; but that after three days, he had to rise again.
32 He spoke very plainly about it. Kefa took him aside and began rebuking him.
33 But, turning around and looking at his talmidim, he rebuked Kefa. "Get behind me, Satan!" he said, "For your thinking is from a human perspective, not from God's perspective!"
34 Then Yeshua called the crowd and his talmidim to him and told them, "If anyone wants to come after me, let him say `No' to himself, take up his execution stake, and keep following me.
35 For whoever wants to save his own life will destroy it, but whoever destroys his life for my sake and for the sake of the Good News will save it.
36 Indeed, what will it benefit a person if he gains the whole world but forfeits his life?
37 What could a person give in exchange for his life?
38 For if someone is ashamed of me and of what I say in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man also will be ashamed of him when he comes in his Father's glory with the holy angels.

"description": "
Demand for agricultural exports in Brazil has stimulated the expansion of crop production and cattle raising, which has caused environmental impacts. In response, Brazil developed public policies such as the new Forest Code (FC) and supply chain arrangements such the Soy and the Cattle Moratoriums. This paper analyzes the effectiveness of these policies, considering the trajectories of agricultural expansion in the state of Mato Grosso in three years: 2005 (pre-moratorium and before the new FC), 2010 (post-moratorium and before the new FC) and 2017 (post-moratorium and post-new FC). Our analysis uses a detailed land use change data for both the Amazon and Cerrado biomes in Mato Grosso. In all the years considered, soybean expansion occurred in consolidated production areas and by conversion of pastures. Pasture expansion is influenced by existence of pastures nearby, by areas of secondary vegetation and deforestation. Our data and models show the effectiveness of public policies and private arrangements to reduce direct conversion from forests to crop production. However, our results also provide evidence that soybean expansion has caused indirect impacts by replacing pasture areas and causing pasture expansion elsewhere. Evidence from our work indicates that Brazil needs broader-ranging land use policies than what was done in the 2010s to be able to reach the land use goals stated in its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) to the Paris Agreement.

Alliancing: what does the new NEC4 Alliance Contract have to offer?
by Catherine Green | Jan 23, 2019 | Construction
By Claire King
Fenwick Elliott LLP
In June 2018 the NEC published its first Alliance Contract "designed for use on major projects or programmes of work where longer-term collaborative ways of working are to be created".[1] In this Insight we examine what is meant by alliancing, its perceived benefits and when it tends to be used. We then review how the NEC4 Alliance Contract works and what it has to offer given the relatively limited market of standard form alliancing contracts.
What is Alliancing?
HM Treasury's Alliancing Best Practice in Infrastructure Delivery defines alliancing as:
"… an arrangement where a collaborative and integrated team is brought together from across the extended supply chain. The team shares a set of common goals which meet client requirements and work under common incentives."[2]
The key to alliancing is the alignment of the parties' goals commercially so that parties are financially motivated to focus on achieving agreed outcomes. Typically in alliancing (as opposed to partnering), cost overruns and savings are shared between the parties regardless of how they came about.[3] The idea is that this results in the confrontational behaviour, sometimes associated with traditional construction contracts, being avoided. In particular, alliancing focuses on creating an integrated project team which is highly motivated to ensure the best overall project outcome as opposed to serving its own particular employer's interests. Alliancing arrangements often also extend down the supply chain in order to try and encourage innovation and good value.
Some alliancing contracts take the non-confrontation goal to its extreme by including "no dispute" clauses which essentially waive contractual and tortious claims against alliance members in advance with the exception of fraud or wilful default. It is debatable whether such clauses are in fact enforceable, and their impact on insurance policies, but historically they have been widely used in Australian alliancing contracts.[4]
What types of construction works tend to use alliancing?
Contracts using alliancing tend to be high value and are frequently for longer-term projects. Alliancing was first used in the UK for delivering investment in the North Sea oil fields during the 1990s.[5] In Australia and New Zealand alliancing is also widely used for delivering high value infrastructure investment such as for roads.[6]
Examples of alliancing contracts within the UK include:
1. Alliances entered into by British Gas with lead partners and members of their onward supply chain to deliver their brownfield investment programme;
2. The Anglian Water @one alliance which describes itself as: "a collaborative organisation of consultants and contractors working together to deliver more than half of Anglian Water's capital investment programme";[7]
3. Alliances entered into by Network Rail. For example, Network Rail entered into an alliance with Atkins, Laing O'Rourke and VolkerRail for the design and construction of the East–West Rail phase 2.[8]
What are the perceived benefits of alliancing?
Alliancing is perceived as particularly beneficial where there is a complex environment with multiple stakeholders, interests and goals. The idea is that creating an alliancing contract will help collaboration and enable better performance. Similarly, it is viewed as a good tool for achieving performance improvement and changing behaviour patterns. Alliances are also popular where there is an extended supply chain and either innovation of some form is required or direct customer access if through that supply chain.
As outlined above, alliancing is generally perceived to be more beneficial for long-term and high value projects. This is essentially because the costs of setting up an alliance are high and the benefits that alliancing may bring will need to be discounted against this cost. Obviously for higher value projects the benefits are likely to be more tangible from a cost/benefit point of view.[9] Time is also required to build the relationships and trust required within the alliancing chain and that means that alliancing is more likely to suit longer-term projects.
What standard alliancing contract options are already available?
For high value construction projects a bespoke alliancing contract may well be used. Indeed in the 2012 Effectiveness of Frameworks Report, it was found that the absence of a suitable standard form is impeding progress in the use of alliancing etc.[10]
Other standard form alliancing contracts do exist including the recently published TAC-1 (Term Alliance Contract) published by the ACA[11] in conjunction with King's College London.[12] The same group also publish the FAC-1 or Framework Alliance Contract which came out in 2016. The FAC-1 can be set up between one or more clients and other alliance members. These alliance members can include contractors, consultants and specialists as required. An Alliance Manager leads the agreed procedures and makes sure the FAC-1 is adhered to by the parties.[13]
The TAC-1 contract is described in detail on the ACA and King's College joint website, Alliance Forms, as follows:
"TAC-1 is a versatile standard form term alliance contract which:
– enables a client and its team to obtain better results from any term contract
– helps to integrate a team into an alliance
– helps to obtain improved value through building information modelling
– is designed for use in any sector and in any jurisdiction.
TAC-1 supports and integrates the provision of any type or scale of works and/or services and/or supplies. It is endorsed by the Construction Industry Council and by Constructing Excellence. . . .
TAC-1 sets out:
– the 'Alliance Members'including the 'Client', the 'Provider', and an in-house or external 'Alliance Manager'with the facility to add 'Additional Alliance Members'. . .
– why the term alliance is being created, stating agreed 'Objectives, Success Measures, Targets'and'Incentives'. . .
– mobilisation and handover procedures and improved engagement with Stakeholders . . .
– a clear 'Order Procedure'for simple or complex 'Orders', supported by 'Template Order Documents'. . .
– what the Alliance Members will do to seek 'Improved Value', working together through 'Supply Chain Collaboration'and other agreed 'Alliance Activities'in accordance with an agreed 'Timetable'. . .
– how the Alliance Members will manage risks and avoid disputes using a shared 'Risk Register','Core Group'governance and 'Early Warning' with options for an 'Independent Adviser'and alternative dispute resolution . . .
– flexibility to include particular 'Legal Requirements'and 'Special Terms'required for any sector and in any jurisdiction . . ."
The same website also provides a very helpful description of the FAC-1.[14]
How does the NEC4 Alliance Contract work?
As can be seen from the above, the options for standard form alliance contracts are not very wide.[15] In that sense the arrival of the NEC4 Alliance Contract is a welcome one. The contract also has familiar provisions, management processes and terminology which are an advantage for those who are used to working with NEC form contracts.
So how does the NEC4 Alliance Contract work?
The NEC4 Alliance Contract describes itself as a "true alliancing contract" because all the parties involved sign up to the same single contract.[16] If a subcontractor is a member of the alliance then they become a partner with the same standing as other members. If they are not a member then the Guidance Notes make it clear they will need to be contracted to a member of the alliance in the traditional way. However, the Alliance Manager (see further below) would have to approve the subcontractor first.
The Alliance, Alliance Board and Alliance Manager
The Alliance itself consists of all of the parties who have joined together to deliver the project (potentially but not necessarily excluding subcontractors). The Alliance includes the Client. Members of the Alliance have an obligation to:
Collaborate with each other to achieve the objectives of the alliance as well as the objective of the individual "partners" to the alliance;
Work collectively to support the delivery of the contract on a "best for project basis";
Develop and use common systems and processes as set out in the Implementation Plan;
Give advice, information and opinion "fully, openly and objectively" to the Alliance Board and others in alliance generally; and
Establish an integrated alliance delivery team[17]
As such they have more detailed and specific obligations to work together than the woollier "good faith" obligations seen in other forms of NEC4 contracts.
An Alliance Board is also set up, with each member of the Alliance (including the Client) nominating someone to sit on it.[18] The Alliance Board is tasked with:
Setting the strategy for achieving the Alliance's objectives and the partner objectives;
Agreeing the work within the Alliance;
Making decisions as stated in the contract;
Appointing and instructing the Alliance Manager;
Resolving any disputes between the Alliance[19]
The Alliance Board also has the power to alter the scope and add partners to the Alliance as required. If the Client's Requirements are changed then that is a Compensation Event as would be expected. However, the Client is on the Alliance Board meaning their requirements can't be changed without their agreement.
The Alliance Manager has a similar role to the project manager in a standard NEC contract save for in one crucial respect. This is, namely, that he or she is acting on behalf of the Alliance Board NOT the Client.
The Alliance Manager must act in accordance with instructions from the Alliance Board and also the Implementation Plan more generally.[20] The NEC Guidance Notes state that for major projects the Alliance Manager will no doubt have staff to assist them in carrying out their duties.[21] This is perhaps to be expected given that projects using alliancing tend to be higher value.
The Implementation Plan and the Programme
There are two key documents which govern the project as a whole. These are:
1. The Implementation Plan; and
2. The Programme.
The Implementation Plan sets out the management structure for the Alliance, roles and responsibilities, delegation by the Alliance Board, the use of common systems and processes[22] and (rather widely!) "any other information which the Alliance Board requires to be included" which is either in the documents referred to in the Contract Data or in an instruction.
The provisions in respect of the Programme, as you might expect for NEC contracts, require detailed provisions for float, time risks, health and safety requirements and procedures within the contract generally. Access dates, information deadlines and breakdowns of operations are also required.[23] If the Programme is set up properly (and updated regularly as per the intervals provided for in the Contract Data[24]) then it will obviously be a powerful project management tool.
Dispute Resolution Provisions
As discussed above, alliancing contracts do sometimes restrict the extent to which parties can engage the classic dispute resolution processes should problems arise. Unlike the FAC-1, which contains relatively standard dispute escalation provisions,[25] the NEC4 Alliancing Contract limits both what can constitute a "dispute" and also what methods of dispute resolution can be used to resolve them.
Clause 94 provides as follows:
"The members of the Alliance Agree that any failure by a member of the Alliance to comply with their obligations stated in these conditions of contract does not give rise to any enforceable right of obligation at law except for an event which is a Client's or Partners' liability. Any disputes between the members of the Alliance arising out of or in connection with the contract are only resolved in accordance with these conditions of contract." [Emphasis added]
There are broadly speaking four categories of Client Liabilities. These are:
1. An intention act or omission to not comply with an obligation (e.g. wilful default);
2. A liability which the Client takes on from takeover (and the guidance notes make a point of emphasising that any liabilities for the Alliance are likely to be very small post-takeover and almost disappear after the Defects Certificate is issued);[26\]
3. Loss or damage to property owned and occupied by the Client;
4. Any other categories listed in the Contract Data.
The Partners' liabilities are similarly limited and include (broadly speaking) wilful default, a breach of intellectual rights, death or bodily injury caused to an employee and any other liabilities stated in the Contract Data.[27]
As such, very real limitations are placed on what Alliance members can raise claims for.
In terms of Dispute Resolution options provided for, the main options are referring a dispute to an independent expert for "an opinion" (not a decision) and referring the dispute to Senior Representatives of each member of the Alliance. They in turn can decide to mediate. Adjudication is an additional option although there is a query as to how useful this would be to run given the limitations on what is a "dispute" in the first place. There is no provision for the resolution of disputes by court or arbitration.
It goes without saying that parties entering into the NEC4 Alliancing Contract need to be aware that their rights to seek redress if disputes arise are severely curtailed. They either need to take this on board or amend the dispute resolution provisions accordingly to amend the risk profile being taken on. Their insurance position also needs to be carefully considered.
As well as these core provisions, the Contract also gives options for early alliance involvement (a two- stage process) and Project Bank Accounts amongst others.
The NEC4 Alliance Contract is a useful addition to standard form alliance contracts and benefits from the fact that NEC users will be familiar with its terminology. It also provides for a range of tools to ensure that collaboration can be integrated into the team from the offset. That said, as is ever the case with contracts aimed at integrating teams and fostering collaboration, it is essential that entrenched attitudes of "them and us" are tackled early on and the integrated team is educated as to how to use these tools effectively. This may take time and will undoubtedly require additional costs and investment to set up these processes at the beginning of the contract, which is why its use is likely to be confined to higher value and longer-term contracts.
Further, parties do need to take note of the dispute resolution provisions and the limitations placed on the ability to dispute certain types of claims. Whilst the reasoning behind these limitations is clear there is always a risk that these provisions are overlooked until such claims arise.

Just a quick post to let everyone know that Short Stories from 1929 has been turned into an audio book and is in the final stages of review. A wonderful narrator by the name of Maxine Lennon who has the most amazing Irish accent did the voice work. I also just signed the contract to have her perform 1929 as well. Both will be available on iTunes and audible.com . Very excited about this new venture!
When my children were little they used to come up to me and ask, "What doing, Mama?" I get asked that a lot these days as well. Several emails a day ask me when 1930 will be finished and I always cringe and feel guilty. Believe me, I want it done just as bad as some readers! I thought I would do a post, (since it's been so long and all) about what I HAVE been doing, since obviously not a ton of work on 1930 has been accomplished. And some readers are actually angry at me for that. I try not to take this personally, but as a good thing. They are really into the book and that is wonderful. Still, I feel the need to produce and since I cannot immediately produce, I thought I should at least explain. I do want to keep my readers.
What am I doing. Wow. Where to begin. First, I suppose, is the largest endeavor we are undertaking as a family. We are transitioning into Tiny Living. Google it, it's an amazing concept, (albeit not entirely new) and we fell in love with the idea. Our family will consume a fraction of the electricity, water and produce a fraction of the waste that we do now. Not that we are raging hippies or anything, just consciously aware that things are changing, more changes are on the horizon and while preparing for these changes we can do our part to reduce, reuse and recycle. Living well, living simple. When we got the idea to jump into Tiny Living, we didn't like the idea of buying land near the city and in these parts in order to get way 'out there' it would be impossible to commute. So, we bought an RV, gutted most of it and have been rebuilding the inside, custom to our needs. And when I say rebuilding, I mean we are doing it ourselves. I have learned to work with all kinds of power tools, built cabinets and sofa frames, laid hardwood floors and found trim to be my best friend. I'm not the "hire it out" kind of person unless I truly don't know what I'm doing.That said, we are bringing someone in to do some custom electrical. Sounds nuts, I know. The idea of giving up everything and going mobile to look for our little piece of America is terrifying and exhilarating at the same time. One of my friends shook her head at me, baffled. "Most people UPGRADE after writing a few books, M!" Yeah, I know. But I'm not most people. I do sort of walk to the beat of my own drum. And I do feel like I am upgrading, in my own way. I'm totally fine with giving up most material things and going on an adventure to search for that perfect piece of land to build a tiny home. We will winter here in Washington since the season is so mild and then head out into the wild blue yonder! The house plans I am drawing, (oh yeah, I'm learning how to do that, too) have the Tiny home at around 600 sq. feet. (plus a writing cabin) Which will seem enormous after the 300 sq. feet of the RV!
This has had the bulk of my time this summer. But, on the upside, when we do get moved in (roughly a month from now) I can sit in the woods with my solar laptop charger and tap away at 1930! "Housecleaning" will take all of an hour and even though I homeschool two boys, we have been turned on to the idea of "Unschooling". I have been reading some of John Holt's books (literally a few minutes at a time whenever I can grab my kindle) and we are going to dive into that this year. Which will actually give me a little more free time. And by free time, I mean writing time. I am really looking forward to it and so are the boys.
Let's see, what else have I been doing…our cat very unexpectedly had kittens, then Mama cat got a scratch on her face that required medical attention. We've had to wean the kittens early and feed them individually. My daughter is tranistioning to the University and my husband has been working overtime being summer and all. In his line of work this is the busy season. What does he do, you might ask? Well, you know that little heart on your drivers license that indicates you are an organ donor? Enough said.
So, with all that, I will apologize to readers who have waited so patiently and ask them to wait just a bit more. Believe me, I miss the characters just as much and can't wait to get back! I don't like waiting either. I was, after all, one of those women in line at Barnes and Noble at midnight when "An Echo in the Bone" came out. I will try to make an effort to update this blog more often as well. Someone emailed me asking me to drop non spoiler tidbits about the next book in my blog posts to give her something to think about while waiting. That just made me smile! I am rolling that idea around. Thanks for reading and for your emails. They mean alot to me.

Q: How to get multiple slider on one page? Im trying to get a working onepage site with multiple sliders. But after more than 2 slider its not working anymore. How to fix it?
I've got the code from w3schools for multiple sliders (trying to build up a website with w3.css framework).
https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_js_slideshow.asp
I tried to copy from 2 to 6 sliders and changed the "var slideId = ["mySlides1", "mySlides2"] " to my 6 defined. But its not working.
<!DOCTYPE html>

  <button class="w3-button w3-black w3-display-right" onclick="plusDivs(1, 0)">❯</button>

I expect a working output and be confused why its not working.

A: Your are passing wrong index in every slider,
plusDivs(-1, 0) //this is for first

you are doing same for all other sliders, instead you should do this.
plusDivs(-1, 0) //first

plusDivs(-1, 1) //second

plusDivs(-1, 2) //third

This way you will have your slider working.

var slideIndex = [1, 1];
var slideId = ["mySlides1", "mySlides2"]
showDivs(1, 0);
showDivs(1, 1);

function plusDivs(n, no) {
  showDivs(slideIndex[no] += n, no);
}

function showDivs(n, no) {
  var i;
  var x = document.getElementsByClassName(slideId[no]);
  if (n > x.length) {
    slideIndex[no] = 1
  }
  if (n < 1) {
    slideIndex[no] = x.length
  }
  for (i = 0; i < x.length; i++) {
    x[i].style.display = "none";
  }
  x[slideIndex[no] - 1].style.display = "block";
}

World Series Dreams Voided
By Harry Hairston
Published Jul 22, 2009 at 12:00 PM | Updated at 12:00 PM EDT on Jul 22, 2009
Brent Blanchard says he dropped more than $2,000 online with Ice Tix, a ticket broker, on four tickets to game five of the World Series.
Ice Tix say they originally purchased the tickets from Stub Hub.
Blanchard took his son and sold the other two tickets to his friend John Golden who waited decades for this moment with his own father.
"My father had gone to the final game in 1980 and I was too young then but we talked all our lives that when it happens again we are going to go together," Golden said.
Heavy rains forced play to stop until two days later. But the foursome says, instead of returning to a field of dreams, they walked into a foul situation.
"Me and my son got in with our two then the other two of my four tickets that I had they said they're void and they wouldn't let them through the turnstile," Blanchard said.
"We go to the turnstile and it's like National Lampoon -- sorry folks the parks closed -- but it's not funny it's heart breaking no, no, no there's some mistake some terrible mistake," Golden added.
Blanchard continued: "We were basically told that someone called our tickets in stolen and the Phillies voided our tickets and reissued our tickets."
But, John Weber, the Phillies V.P. of Tickets and Operations said Golden and his father still should have gotten in.
"We had mechanisms in place to help them on that evening if they didn't go to a window I don't have information on that," Weber said.
Golden says he did go to the ticket window. And, when he got there, not only was he shutout, but so were dozens of others with the same problem.
"There were people wailing and crying like their children had been kidnapped," said Golden.
"I just had a pit in my stomach like how could this happen the four of us went through this whole Phillies experience together and it was just ruined all of a sudden," Blanchard said.
The men say they're angry the Phillies won't identify the season ticket holder who canceled their tickets. So, they took out an ad in the inquirer hoping others shutout that night will contact them.
"We figure if the Phillies don't listen to just one group of two or three people maybe they'll listen to a group of 50 or 100 people," said Blanchard
"Once we get all of the information that we have we'll try to help them out best we can," Weber explained.
The Phillies did offer the men two tickets to a regular season game next season, but both Blanchard and Golden already feel like they missed out on a lifetime experience.
The team also said they plan to meet with Blanchard soon to discuss the issue.

Q: Creating additional attributes for regional intersections? A certain country is (simultaneously and independently) divided into 400 regions and 100 judicial districts. Each division is represented by a separate multipolygon layers with units as features. Intuitively one judicial district may contain many regions. However, one region can belong to many judicial districts (eg. Northern part of the region R_1 can belong to the district D_1 but its southern part can belong to the district D_2) - the aim of this is to reduce the risk of collusion between local judges and authorities.
I would like to create a database describing the relations between regions and districts. In the "districts" layer I'd like to create 400 columns/attributes representing all regions. The values of the attributes should be binary i.e. "1" if a given region overlaps/intersects with a given district and "0" if it does not.
For instance, for the district D_37 I would like to have "O" value of the attribute R_123 because the "region 123" does not overlap with the district 37 and "1" for the attribute R_44 because the "region 44" does actually overlap with the district 37.
How I should do this to avoid unnecessary difficulties (I use QGIS)?

Published August 1, 1994 by Psychology Press
Published December 22, 2015 by Psychology Press
Book Description Table of Contents Reviews
One of the liveliest forums for sharing psychological, linguistic, philosophical, and computer science perspectives on psycholinguistics has been the annual meeting of the CUNY Sentence Processing Conference. Documenting the state of the art in several important approaches to sentence processing, this volume consists of selected papers that had been presented at the Sixth CUNY Conference. The editors not only present the main themes that ran through the conference but also honor the breadth of the presentations from disciplines including linguistics, experimental psychology, and computer science. The variety of sentence processing topics examined includes:
* how evoked brain potentials reflect sentence comprehension
* how auditory words are processed
* how various sources of grammatical and nongrammatical information are coordinated and used
* how sentence processing and language acquisition might be related.
This distinctive volume not only presents the most exciting current work in sentence processing, but also places this research into the broader context of theorizing about it.

A ranch in hidden Valley near Westlake Village was the setting for a wedding with two hundred guests and two wedding bartenders. I always recommend two bartender for groups this big. Even with two bartenders, the line stretched back for fifty yards just after the ceremony. The whole night I felt like a bartender in a busy nightclub, because they just kept coming.
We served vodka drinks, margaritas, Jack Daniels, and Captain Morgan. They also had Budweiser, Shock Top, Dos Equis, 805 Ale, Stella, and Coors Light available for the guests. That was quite a beer selection and supply. They also served single serve Chardonnays, Merlots, and White Zinfindel wine by Copa. The bride wanted to charge people for the mixed drinks so people would not over drink. We charged $4 for mixed drink tickets and that worked out pretty well. They at least collected enough to pay the wedding bartenders.
I had spent months planning the bar menu and drink service with the bride and it was nice to see it come off so well. I think the bride and groom and all of their family member were quite happy with our service. I brought my son with me to help and I always receive many compliments about him, which makes me feel good.
This weekend, Shaken Not Served will travel to San Dimas to do a Quincinera. This is an event I booked while doing another event. I love that kind of business, when people hire me on the spot based on my service. Then I will round out the month by doing a wedding in Cathedral City at the Cree Estate. I am booking many events based on Google searches, which means this blog is working.

Frank Press
1994 View all Laureates for 1994
For his contributions to the understanding of the deepest interior of the earth and the mitigation of natural disasters, and his service in academia, as a government official, and at the National Academy of Sciences.
As a child, Frank Press was an avid reader of adventure stories and fairy tales, and later on turned to Popular Science magazine and how-to books. In school, Press says, he didn't start doing well until the sixth grade. "I got a pair of glasses," he recounted in an interview. Prior to that, he couldn't see the blackboard!rnrnIn college, Press enjoyed physics and geology, in particular the ability to use physics outdoors. A geology teacher tasked him with taking a magnetic survey of Van Cortland Park, and Press was immediately drawn to being able to use physics and explore his surroundings—it was the start of his career in geophysics.rnrnPress designed the long-period seismograph for detecting earthquakes, where resonant frequencies are very low. His research also led to the first detection of the Earth's normal modes of oscillation, pioneering the application of digital processing to seismic recordings. Press was also closely involved in the construction of a lunar seismograph, first deployed with Apollo 11. rnrnBy Jen Santisi
