Arretjescake (ook: arretjenofcake) is een machtige koude cake, vaak met chocolade, die traditioneel in verschillende Nederlandse streken gegeten wordt.

Bereidingswijze
Hoewel de precieze ingrediënten, en daarmee de smaak, per streek en per recept verschillen, is de basis hetzelfde. De ingrediënten worden gemixt en moeten vervolgens een dag in de koelkast opstijven. De standaardingrediënten zijn biscuit (tarwekoekjes/theebiscuitjes, in sommige recepten verkruimeld), vet (tegenwoodig doorgaans roomboter of margarine),  suiker en eieren (deze worden dus rauw genuttigd). Cacao, vanille, oploskoffie, rum of andere smaakmakers geven smaak. Hagelslag dient vaak ter decoratie

Oorsprong
Oorspronkelijk is de cake een recept uit een promotieboekje van Nederlandsche Oliefabrieken (NOF) Calvé-Delft. Calvé voerde destijds twee soorten vet, te weten Delfia, een soort frituurvet van kokosvet, en Delfrite, een soort margarine. Het (strip)figuurtje Arretje Nof werd als reclame gebruikt voor de producten. Recept nummer 100 was Arretje cake. Het kon van beide producten gemaakt worden, waarbij in de zomer Delfia werd aanbevolen, omdat de cake anders te slap zou blijven.

Martell Cordon Bleu Cognac was originally created by Edouard Martell in 1912. It is a sultry, stylish cognac with a lovely fruity, spicy flavour.
Really lovely to drink. We enjoy this as much as Remy Martin XO- they have different characters - both delightful. Neat at room temperature or with one ice cube - lovely.
I have been drinking over 50 years, I always like Martell Cordon Bleu more than all the others XO.
Very good for the money. The history tells you all you need to know.
This is the dogs danglies. Just finished another bottle and every mouthfull was a delight. Forget other XO's this is the one to go for.
smooth and fruity. Best served straight.

Passenger registration https://www.deutsche-flagge.de/en/safety-and-security/passenger-registration https://www.deutsche-flagge.de/@@site-logo/DF_logo_hires.png
Shipowners have to register anyone on board
Requirements of a registration system
Approval of the registration system
Passenger ships under foreign flag in German waters
Shipowners have to register persons on board of passenger ships
Be a equipped for an emergency - this motto also applies at sea. In case of a larger ship accident it is important for the rescue team to know how many people are on board. Without this knowledge an effective search and rescue is impossible in case of an emergency - especially not on a ferry or an excursion ship with several hundred passengers.
That is why the European legislator requires from shipowners of passenger ships departing from an EU-port an exact counting and registration of anyone on board. This required registration system, in accordance with directive 98/41/EC, has the additional advantage that there are never more people on board than is permitted for the ship and its safety equipment.
Registration systems on passenger ships have to be certified by an EU member state.
The shipowner of a passenger ship is obliged to appoint a passenger registrar. This person is responsible for keeping the registered information and its transmission to the responsible authority in case of an emergency or in the aftermath of an accident.
The European legislator divided passenger ships into two categories, to which different requirements to the registration system apply:
Category I - voyage of not more than 20 nautical miles from the point of departure
If the ship departs from a port and undertakes a voyage of not more than 20 nautical miles from the point of departure, all persons on board shall be counted and the number of persons shall be communicated to the master and the shipping company (passenger registrar) before departure.
Category II - voyage of more than 20 nautical miles from the point of departure
If the ship departs from a port and undertakes a voyage of more that 20 nautical miles from the point of departure, in addition to the counting and registration (category I) the following information about the people on board have to be registered:
Last name and first name or initial,
sex,
age group (adult, child or baby)
when volunteered by a passenger, information concerning the need for special care or assistance in emergency situations.
This information shall be communicated to the shipping company (passenger registrar) not later than 30 minutes after departure.
Approval of the registration system for passenger ships under German flag
BG Verkehr is responsible for the approval of the registration systems on board ships flying the German flag. Details regarding the approval vary depending on the actual area of deployment of the individual passenger ship:
Category I (up to a maximum of 20 nm from the point of departure)
The registration system on ships of category I is considered as approved if it complies with the requirements according to the general ruling of the Ship Safety Division (Dienststelle Schiffssicherheit) of BG Verkehr for the approval of registration systems on passenger vessels dated 09.06.2015.
Category II (more than 20 nm from the point of departure)
Shippping companies of passenger ships of category II have to apply for approval of their registration system at the Ship Safety Division of BG Verkehr.
Shipowners of passenger ships under foreign flag departing from a German port have to demonstrate evidence to the Ship Safety Division that the requirements of Directive 98/41/EC are being complied with before the departure. For this the registration system was either already approved by a member state of the European community or, if an approval does not yet exist, approval must be applied for at the Ship Safety Division.
Application for the approval of the registration system
Application form for the approval of the registration system for passenger ships flying a foreign flag (questionnaire)

Clear skies provide perfect viewing for peak of Leonids meteor shower
Ridge of high pressure across Alaska will lead to clear skies for many
The Leonid meteor shower is expected to peak Thursday night.
By Aaron Morrison
Published: Nov. 17, 2022 at 8:44 AM AKST
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - A rather stout area of high pressure that has parked itself over Canada and Alaska is leading to a stagnant weather pattern across much of the state.
The ridge, which has been responsible for our sunny afternoons, is also one for the record books. Alaskan Climatologist Brian Brettschneider said that the strength of the ridge is the strongest it has ever been in November for parts of the state.
The 00Z balloon sounding for Fairbanks had a 500 mb height of 5790 m. This is a new November record (old record was 5765 m on 11/23/85). Anchorage had a 500 mb height of 5790 m. This is the 2nd highest for the month of November (5793 m on 11/2/2017). @AlaskaWx pic.twitter.com/k3IBT9M8mD
— Brian Brettschneider (@Climatologist49) November 17, 2022
While the ridge is set to back off to the south and east in the coming days, we'll still enjoy at least two more days of sunshine for the eastern half of the state. This could prove beneficial for night sky watchers, as the Leonid meteor shower peaks tonight. The shower, which runs from Nov. 3 to Dec. 2, provides a dazzling display of meteors of up to 15 per hour.
The only wrench thrown in the viewing opportunity through the night will be the waning crescent of the moon. The Leonids are also known to produce a meteor storm about every 33 years, where up to 1,000-plus meteors can be seen shooting across the night sky. While it won't be bitterly cold through the night, parts of the Interior could battle subzero readings.
While much of the state remains under the influence of the ridge, Western Alaska continues to see a stormy pattern. Thanks to the orientation and placement of the ridge, the upper level winds are steering all of the active weather through the Bering Sea and north. This is leading to much of Western Alaska remaining on the warmer side, compared to the rest of the state. It's also been windy, as winds have been gusting upwards of 60 mph through the night. High surf and high winds will continue through the day, although the greatest impacts have already passed. Expected dwindling winds and improving conditions into the night.
While winds are poised to die down into Thursday, snow and freezing rain could impact parts of Koyukuk, Yukon Valley and Upper Noatak through Friday evening. Temperatures for much of the state will remain on the warmer side through the first part of next week, before colder weather slowly seeps into Alaska.
Have a wonderful Thursday!

Habitat to build multifamily housing in Candler
Posted on November 4, 2018 October 26, 2018 by Leslie Boyd
HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS: Mary Leake, a new homeowner, thanks to Asheville Area Habitat for Humanity, stands with Andy Barnett, executive director of the agency, at a groundbreaking for Habitat's newest development in Candler, which will include four single-family homes and eight attached townhomes.

For the first time, Asheville Area Habitat for Humanity will build multifamily housing.
The development, Curry Court in Candler, will include four single-family homes and eight attached townhomes, all for families making 30-70 percent of the area median income.
Families are able to afford the payments — which usually are lower than they were paying for rent on older properties — because instead of saving for several years toward a downpayment and closing costs, they work on their homes, putting in a set number of hours of "sweat equity."
"When you're trying to save for a down payment, there are always expenses that force you to dip into that money," says Andy Barnett, executive director of Asheville Area Habitat for Humanity. "With sweat equity, you don't have to come up with that big lump sum."
Until now, all of Asheville Area Habitat's developments have been single-family houses, but the organization believes that's no longer a viable option.
"In places like this, the housing market is hot, wages tend to be low while prices are rising rapidly and land is a valuable — and expensive — resource," Barnett says. "We can serve more families on a limited amount of land by building like this."
As land becomes more expensive in the Asheville area, Habitat has had to consider ways to build more affordably, and with construction material costs rising too, Habitat organizations across the country are starting to turn to multifamily units, allowing them to serve 20 percent more families.
"This is our first experience with multifamily housing, but others have started building townhomes, and it's working out well," Barnett says. "Building only single-family homes just isn't sustainable anymore."
For Robin Clark, construction manager for Habitat, building townhomes will be a new experience.
"I'm finding out that not everybody wants a yard," Clark said during a groundbreaking event at the site Oct. 18. "Some people just want a house without having to mow the lawn."

Ground has been broken already on the first house, a single-family home funded by last year's Warren Haynes Christmas Jam. The walls will go up just before this year's Christmas Jam, scheduled for Friday and Saturday, Dec. 7-8.
Curry Court was occupied by five abandoned mobile homes, which had to be dismantled and hauled off. Cost of the land was $170,000, and building the road and adding utility hookups added just over $416,000. All told, the development will cost about $2.35 million.
"We're fortunate in that 40 percent of our budget is earned income from mortgage payments and ReStore revenue," Barnett says. "We have reliable sources of income, which makes it easier to fund a development like this."
The plot is near bus routes — off Ridge Road, about a quarter mile off Smoky Park Highway, and in the zone where Asheville Transit riders can flag down a bus, and buses can go up to a quarter-mile off route for a requested pickup. It's close to parks and shopping, making it one of the more accessible sites outside of city limits.
The families who will move into these homes will help provide stability in the community, Barnett says.
"People who rent often move every year or two, looking for a better deal, a better home," he says. "Moving is expensive; it eats up savings. And because renters don't stay in a place very long, they really have little stake in the neighborhood. Eighty percent of our owners are still in their homes. That's stability."
In addition, Asheville Habitat homeowners paid $331,000 in property taxes last year.
Mary Leake, a mother of four who works at Glen Arden Elementary School, discovered last year that her rental home was going to be sold, meaning she likely would have to move — again. She went to Habitat and found out she was eligible to buy a four-bedroom home through the agency.
"I worked on it," she said at the Oct. 18 groundbreaking. "I helped to build it, and now it's mine. I have my own bedroom, my own bathroom."
Leake worked side by side with volunteers and Habitat staff to build her own home. She will move into her house, which is in Arden, on Jan. 3.
"I have definitely enjoyed every step of this process," she said.
Rachel Dudasik works for Wicked Weed Brewing, which contributes to Habitat. She attended the groundbreaking ceremony, calling the development itself groundbreaking.
"With the cost of housing, this will allow more people to become homeowners," she said. "Everyone deserves a decent, safe house. Housing should never be a privilege. We're proud to be a part of Habitat's network of sponsors and contributors."
But the most important contributors are not necessarily the folks who write checks, Barnett says. The homes are built, in large part, by volunteers. Last year alone, 2,100 volunteers provided 67,400 hours of service to build 14 homes and repair 47 more through Habitat's Home Repair program.
Asheville Area Habitat for Humanity is now accepting homeownership applications for the development; for income guidelines and an application form, visit avl.mx/5el.
"If you're feeling overwhelmed, if you're feeling like you can't fix what's wrong today, you should know you can do something," Barnett said. "Whatever your skills are, there's a way to make them connect to needs in the community. It's easy to get mired in the feeling there's nothing you can do, that the problems are just too big. Well, you can make a difference. You can help build a home for a family."

Just a small correction Curry Court is off of Ridge STREET at near the interstection with Liberty Road in Candler. Ridge Road is farther out off of Hookers Gap Road.
Mary Leake
Nice write up but a few correction: The house I was renting in Arden N.C went up for sale at the beginning of 2016. I only had 30 days to move. I had no choice but to move into a small temporary apartment. Since 2016 I have been searching to purchase my own home. So my family won't be put in that situation again. Did some research on Habitat Humanity and loved how they have helped families in similar situation like mine dreams come true. I am excited about this experience and also enjoyed the Sweat Equity hours working along with volunteers and at the retail store. Now I'm able to purchase a affordable 4-bedroom home. Im able to move back to Arden close to the neighborhood I once lived in and back near my place of employment. Starting the New Year 2019 off in my new home thanks to Habitat Humanity. Thanks Habitat for what you do for families ❤
:) That makes me happy to hear Mary!
Leake Mary
Awwwwww Thanks ☺ I'm really excited and I really enjoyed working with the volunteers and the habitat staff to build my home and watching it all come together. What a great experience ☺
Doug Harris
As a volunteer on the construction site, we are happy to contribute to the affordable housing that Habitat for Humanity provides. We enjoy the other volunteers and the comraderie of the Habitat supervisors. Habitat is a quality organization that seems to get great folks to build houses for.

Texas Trust Credit Union Announces Retirement of EVP Pamela Stephens
ARLINGTON, Texas – January 13, 2020 – Texas Trust Credit Union Executive Vice President Pamela Stephens will retire at the end of this month, ending a 37-year career in the credit union industry.
Stephens began her credit union career as a secretary in the audit department of the Nebraska Credit Union League. She then moved to Security One Federal Credit Union as controller, working her way up to the position of President and CEO. In that role, she led Security One for 25 years, including overseeing the 2013 merger between Security One and Texas Trust.
At Texas Trust, Stephens has been a key part of the executive leadership team, overseeing a number of departments and strategic initiatives and helping the credit union become a $1 billion financial institution.
Stephens' influence has reached beyond the credit unions she served, extending to leadership positions within the Cornerstone Credit Union League Board of Directors where she served in various capacities for 13 years, numerous league committees, and CUNA's Governmental Affairs Committee. She is known as a strong credit union advocate and an exemplary leader within the industry and in numerous civic and community organizations.
"I have been blessed to have known Pamela for nearly 20 years. She has left a positive mark on the industry and our members," said Jim Minge, President and CEO of Texas Trust Credit Union. "Her selfless dedication and passion for the industry is evident in everything she did here at Texas Trust and in the community."
Beyond Texas Trust, Stephens has dedicated her time to supporting the American Heart Walk and Relay for Life, in which she served as the local chair for annual fundraising events.
"It has been a privilege to work alongside Pamela to serve our members and the industry," said Minge. "She has been an integral part of Texas Trust and has helped make us all better over the years. Her charitable spirit led her to create the Community Unity Team, fostering leadership through volunteer and charitable work and community service."
Minge added, "We will miss her passion, her commitment for our members, and her quick wit and fantastic laugh, which made Pamela so enjoyable to work with. She will leave a lasting legacy at Texas Trust."
Stephens is leaving the industry so she and her husband can enjoy retirement together. They plan to travel, scuba dive, and devote time to animal rescue.
"I am thankful to have spent my career in a movement that puts people above profits," said Stephens. "Credit union people are the best and I am grateful to my friends in the industry, from whom I have learned so much over the years."

The fascinating history behind your monthly women's circle
by Erin Magner, April 25, 2018
Photo: Kristine Lo for WMN Space
Five years ago, if you'd told me that I'd be spending my Friday night at a new moon women's circle, I would have rolled my eyes and asked you which strain of cannabis you were smoking. (And then promptly excused myself to meet my girlfriends at the bar.)
Yet this is exactly where I found myself last weekend—willingly, even. For two hours at Love Yoga in Venice, CA, a friend and I listened intently as facilitator Jana Roemer gave a download of the month's astrological themes, then led our group of 30-plus women in an intention-setting session and a group share.
I've attended this circle several times in the past, and honestly, it's way outside of my comfort zone. I tend to shy away from public displays of vulnerability in general, and as someone who faced her share of mean-girl experiences growing up, I've always felt extremely uneasy in large groups of women. But still, I know that this is an important step when it comes to improving my relationship with my own gender, and I always leave feeling a little lighter. And I'm clearly not the only one who's realized that this kind of connection and community is incredibly healing, judging by the ever-growing size of this particular circle—not to mention the fact that women's circles in general are going mainstream across the US.
As it turns out, we're all just waking up to a practice that's really ancient, albeit one that fell out of favor for centuries in the Western world. "This ritual of women gathering is so universal," points out Sarah Waxman, founder of At The Well—a network that helps women create their own circles for Rosh Chodesh, a traditional Jewish new-moon meet-up. "It's practiced in so many different cultures and faiths. Anyone who has a land-based heritage likely has a new moon women's gathering [as part of it]."
With that in mind I decided to do a little digging, since knowing the history behind any experience makes it that much more powerful. And while I learned a lot about the women's circles of the past, I also discovered some pretty compelling facts about the potential impact of these new-age sororities—intel that indicates they're a lot more than just a fleeting wellness fad.
Keep reading for a primer on the past—and future—of women's circles.

The tumultuous history of women's circles
According to Ann Landaas Smith, founder and director of Circle Connections, humans have basically been gathering in the round since we began walking upright. "Circles with a sacred center are ancient, the oldest form of social interaction," says the mentor and educator, who also works with Millionth Circle—an organization that helps women to start their own groups. "The fire was in the center as the people cooked and ate their food, heard stories, worshiped their gods and goddesses, and passed down the traditions and wisdom that kept them alive and healthy."
Ladies-only circles, too, have been taking place for ages, all around the world. Many were directly tied to menstruation and the moon cycles, says Smith. "There are menstrual hut and moon lodge traditions all over the world that date back to 800 CE and in some places are still practiced today," she says. While these largely have negative connotations now—women are basically being cast out of their communities for bleeding—Smith says there was an empowering side to them, once upon a time.
"The red tent [menstrual tradition] and moon lodges grew in popularity as a sacred space for women and girls to affirm their spirituality and sexuality, and to heal from the wounds of patriarchy [through connecting with each other]," she says.
Religion, too, played a role in the oldest women's circles, like those practiced by the Wiccans and Celtic Christians in the 5th and 6th centuries. The obscure Jewish tradition of Rosh Chodesh is another example. "It means head of the month, the first sliver of the moon after it's been dark," says Waxman. "We know that it [involved] some combination of rest and learning, and in Judaism that's the holiest thing you can do."
So what happened between then and now to make women's circles all but disappear from conventional culture? "We weren't allowed to come together because it made people feel uncomfortable, and we were persecuted for it," says Paula Mallis, circle facilitator and owner of WMN Space in Los Angeles.
"Those woman that have come before us have paved the way, creating space for this pivotal time where we are shifting, changing and transforming."—Paula Mallis
This all happened even before the birth of America. "In 1484, the Hammer of Witches publication by two German Dominican monks began the systematic destruction of women's spiritual practices and health care by torturing and murdering women healers and spiritual leaders," says Smith. "This oppression lasted 500 years and was carried with colonialism to every corner of the Earth." Waxman adds that even Rosh Chodesh circles faded from popularity—in part because of the Holocaust, which decimated the Jewish population and took many of its written historical records with it.
Of course, that didn't completely stop women from getting together on their own terms, from sewing and quilting circles to tea dates and Mary Kay parties. "We were still called to gather, but we weren't allowed to dip into an energy that would offend the power of the masculine," says Mallis.
Spiritually driven (or, in some cases, psychedelic drug-fueled) women's circles made a brief comeback in the '60s and '70s, but the movement was short-lived. "Something happened in the early '80s or '90s—I think the ritual just kind of stagnated," says Waxman. "Maybe that's because feminism across America stagnated, or that it was such a woo-woo thing that the mainstream wasn't going to buy into it."
Fast-forward 20 years, and Waxman believes that Sheryl Sandberg's Lean In movement paved the way for our generation to discover women's circles in the present day. They basically showed that by gathering together, setting goals, and talking about our challenges, women could make serious strides at work. And now that lunar everything is trending in a big way, we're starting to bring the more esoteric aspect of old-timey women's circles back into the equation, too.
"I believe the feminine rising is an opportunity for tremendous shifts in consciousness and on our planet," says Mallis. "And though we still have work to do, those woman that have come before us have paved the way, creating space for this pivotal time where we are shifting, changing and transforming."

How modern women's circles make you happier…and healthier
As most women's circle attendees will tell you, the experience is a lot different from, say, gossiping at a dinner party or talking shop at a networking event. "It's a very different energy," says Waxman. "We talk about community a lot when we're not actually in community—[social] events don't necessarily translate into a sense of belonging, and we still go home feeling alone. But when we're in a setting where we're not going to compete with each other, there's a hormonal response that we're safe. [And that allows us to] look each other in the eye and talk about real shit that's going on in our lives."
Part of this is because of the ritualized nature of a women's circle. Even today's facilitators often bring in ceremonial practices that help create a level playing field and encourage everyone to participate in the discussion. For Waxman's Rosh Chodesh circle, that involves lighting a candle and asking everyone to state her mother's and grandmothers' names, per Jewish tradition. Mallis' circles, which started out of her Venice Beach home several years ago, draw on indigenous culture. "In Native American women's circles, there was a talking stick and storytelling—a lot of sharing and listening," she says.
"When we're in a setting where we're not going to compete with each other, there's a hormonal response that we're safe."—Sarah Waxman
Yet today's facilitators have also found ways to make the ritual uniquely their own. "I take people through a process that includes identifying an issue that is not serving them, and I give them the tools they need to reframe it," Mallis says. Adds Smith: "There are many kinds of circles depending on the needs of the members—they can be support circles, healing and wellness circles, spirituality circles, or action circles. Women's circles are encouraged even within some churches."
And the effects have been profound, which is what leads women to come back again and again. Mallis has seen relationships, new jobs, and creative breakthroughs come out of her circles, which have become so popular that she now hosts multiple sessions for each new and full moon. "My intention is that every woman who walks through the doors at WMN Space has an experience that supports her and empowers her to live her life at the fullest and most authentic level," Mallis says. "WMN Circle is designed so that we may find deeper connections within ourselves and fully experience the magic that happens when like-minded women come together."
Waxman has witnessed similar results in her own circle, and she now serves as a resource for over 100 other "Well Circles" for Jewish women via At The Well. "Finding a place to really ask questions and learn about my body from other like-minded friends has been a radical shift in my life," she says.
The future of women's circles
While most women's circles today are relegated to yoga studios and living rooms, those in the know expect to see them reaching a wider radius of society in the years to come.
For one, we might see women's circles at work become as prevalent as corporate yoga classes, as more workplaces wise up to the perks of a feminine leadership model based on cooperation and equality. Indeed, Mallis has already started fielding requests from LA-based businesses that want her to lead circles at their offices. "It's based off of what they're seeing online," she says. "I'm like, whoa, this corporate company wants to experience a shift? It's been really interesting."
"We know [so] many women are suffering from depression, loneliness, and anxiety, and this is a ritual that is literally designed to combat that."—Sarah Waxman
Waxman even envisions doctors prescribing women's circles to their patients in the same way that they now do with meditation, specifically when it comes to treating mental health issues. "We know [so] many women are suffering from depression, loneliness, and anxiety, and this is a ritual that is literally designed to combat that," she says, noting that the circle she attends has helped her in her own lifelong battle with depression. (Just look at all the recent research on telomeres for proof of the health-protective power of strong social connections.)
And ultimately, Waxman hopes that women's circles will have an even bigger impact on healing the world at large. "If we can teach women around the world to be in these real types of communities designed for witnessing each other, [we may be able to convince] different groups of women in conflict to come together in these circles," she says. "Can we get Israeli and Palestinian women to practice being in a women's circle together? I don't think the world knows what that would look like, but in a dreaming sense that's really powerful." Name a happy hour with that kind of impact—kinda makes you want to rethink your weekend plans, doesn't it?
It's not too early to start planning your summer solstice women's circle—but why wait until then to get started? Here are some rituals you can do with your crew during the next new moon.
Happiness & Confidence, Healthy Relationships, spirituality

Q: Are there (have there been) any efforts to create a schema language for arbitrary binary formats? XML has a lot of benefits. It's both machine and human readable, it has a standardized format and it is remarkably versatile.
It also has some disadvantages. It's verbose and not a very efficient means of transferring large amounts of data.
One of the most useful aspects of XML is the schema language. Using a schema you can generate source code in any modern programming language to read an xml format without the tedious process of hand coding that usually accompanies most other file formats.
This got me thinking about whether a schema language for arbitrary binary file formats exists and if not, would it be a worth while endeavor?
Just in case I've been unclear. I'm asking about a language whose purpose is to define byte offsets, field and record lengths, delimiters, etc. that could be parsed to generate code that would read a file format that conformed to that specification.
I doubt I'm the first to suggest such an idea so if you know of any projects or working groups that have or are currently pursuing this area I'd be grateful.

A: I know this is an old question, but in the last few years I feel that Kaitai Struct has emerged as one of the best arbitrary binary schema description options, the bonus that it generates parsing code is a huge bonus.
https://kaitai.io/
"develop parsers for binary structures"

A: Yes, several people have tried to do this.
One such attempt is Binary Format Description. Another is Data Format Description Language. I'm not sure how practical either one really is, though.

A: xtype is a new general-purpose binary data language I developed that also covers the typical usage of XML: https://github.com/bitagoras/xtype/
A similar format that should be mentioned here is UBJSON, an efficient binary format for JSON like structures: https://github.com/ubjson/universal-binary-json

A: "schema" and "arbitrary" are contradictory.  Specifying byte offsets, field and record lengths, delimiters, etc. is not "arbitrary".
Byte offsets have been around since COBOL.  EDI is a well known, tried and true protocol that does exactly this.
WebMethods, an EDI tool, has a very nice EDI parser built into it.

A: In short, no. Unless you count programming languages as "schema languages". XML is very structured regardless of the schema. Binary formats can be absolutely anything. Consider the old MS office formats where it was essentially a memory dump of the raw data structures used at runtime. If you allow programming languages, then you can - and do - create a parser in that :-) What about compressed binary files: zip, jpeg, WebM? How and why would a schema language want to encompass those type of things?

A: Project Epidal.BeeSchema seems to fit your requirements.

The Catholics for sure have a long history in native abuse, but listen up , the protestants are well versed as this is a protestant culture, in native abuse. Both groups burned witches and water ducked women to death for centuries. And forced Natives off their land, tortured them, and forcefully made them into dominant and submission Christian cultures as opposed to co exist, treat land air, water earth as the stewards. And each other for that matter, which echo many Native cultures to be stewards. I believe a lot of hippies reincarnated from native Americans because of the time period change, to bring more equality to all. And beings that the Abrahamic religions have genocide as their policy written from many justifications in the bible, and only about 3% of Natives still exist, we reincarnated where we could. If any one is interested go to SOAR, IDLE NO MORE, and join to help. I would like to see Hawaii join in with The US branches of Native Americans of the USA become one big SOAR IDLE NO MORE. When every tree is chopped down, and all the rivers , lakes and oceans polluted , only then will the Abrahamic cultures finally say, you can`t eat money. And if anyone is interested go to thehungersite.com and Care2.com and sign petitions. Great shopping for everyone on the hungersite. com. And the icing on the cake is it is all fair trade. There is also TheNonProfits .com for a huge list , (case sensitive) they are click to give , save the rainforest etc. etc. the sponsors pay when you click. Most good ol hippies will love these sites!
I am starting to become a hippy. This is because I feel the need in my soul for peace. Guns scare the hell out of me! While people of gun faith are defending their right to protect themselves with guns, I am fearing all of our rights to live here in America and be safe FROM GUNS!
We are very unique ppl and are looking for unique grandparent namez . Both of us are very colorful ppl and we are our own as well .
When I was in art college NYC in 1968-1972 one teacher commented on his lack of attention to my work that you are just going to get married and have babies anyway.. after motherhood AND 40 years as a design professional I can say with confidence, that that was not true. My daughters grew up assuming equal opportunity in their work and equal efforts at housekeeping at home. My horror lies in the sharp rightward tack of this country politically, watching states institute vaginal probe laws I remember how my college roomate nearly died hemmoraging from a botched illeagal abortion. The family values, hard Christian Right want to put women firmly back in the kitchen, where God wants them. We must never let that happen.
Could you kindly fill me in with information towards the type of vitamins or medication a hashis smoker must consume regularly to maintain a good healthy body and mind.
Lee Otis was a good man!!

Mizner Park movie theater closes
Rebekah Monson, Staff Writer
The embattled Sunrise Cinemas 8 movie theater at Mizner Park in Boca Raton is closed and may reopen with a new look and new ownership later this year.
"The theater will be completely renovated and reopened later this year," said Beth Hendrick, marketing manager for Mizner Park. "But, we can't release all the details just yet."
Last week, workmen removed furnishings and supplies from the building's lobby, and new signs directed patrons to Frank Theaters' Deerfield Mall cinema.
Mizner Park filed an eviction lawsuit in March 2010, alleging that Frank Theaters, which operated the theater since 2000, was nearly $90,000 behind on its rent.
"Frank Theaters is no longer operating at Mizner Park," Hendrick said.
Representatives at Frank Theaters could not be reached for comment, despite attempts by phone and e-mail.

VT's New Pathway Out of Poverty: Well-Meaning POoP, but What Does It Mean?
Home > Economy Published January 2, 2014 - 6:30pm
Sometimes I think, not at all self-servingly, that Governor Shumlin ought to hire a snarky blogger — to provide a bit of perspective, a bit of sour in the dough, and as a preventative to doing stupid stuff like...
Gov. Peter Shumlin signed an executive order Monday creating a new council to combat poverty ... the Governor's Council on Pathways Out of Poverty will have between 10 and 30 members and meet three times a year.
Uh, er... a POoP Council? Really, now.
I do have some more substantive comments on the Governor's new POoP. Back in the 1990s, my home state of Michigan had a conservative Republican Governor by the name of John Engler. One of his strokes of rhetorical brilliance was to give the Department of Social Services a new name: the Family Independence Agency. Because, you know, we're not in the business of giving handouts to the undeserving poor; we're giving people a chance to achieve Family Independence!
Engler's successor Jennifer Granholm quickly undid it. And Governor Shumlin is dipping into Engler's tainted pool of anti-welfare jargon with this "Pathways Out of Poverty" POoP.
I'm not arguing with the idea that we'd like to see as many people achieve independence and security as possible. But, as Our Lord and Savior once said, "the poor you will always have with you." Especially since one of the principal products of our 21st Century economy is poverty and financial insecurity.
You want evidence? Take a look at the Public Assets Institute's new report, "More Jobs, Clustered in Low-Wage Sectors."
The [November] unemployment rate inched down to 4.4 percent, mainly because fewer Vermonters are looking for work. At the same time, employers reported 2,200 more Vermonters on the job than in October, with most of those newcomers in traditionally low-wage service sectors.
A nice shiny chart, displayed after the jump, illustrates this disturbing reality.
All those low-paying jobs put a smiley face on our unemployment rate, but they do little or nothing to give people a Pathway Out of Poverty.
Now, that chart is just a snapshot. But it's part of a longer-term trend — as shown in PAI's year-end report "State of Working Vermont 2013." The PAI pointed out that "fewer Vermonters were working in 2012 than in 2007. And private employers were providing fewer jobs, most concentrated in low-wage sectors. Also, "the number and the percentage of Vermonters in poverty had increased," as had the number receiving food stamps (up a stunning 86 percent in five years) and the Earned Income Tax Credit.
The Governor's new Council will have to be awfully darn creative to buck these trends and provide real Pathways Out Of Poverty.
In addition to his new Brown Ribbon Committee, Shumlin also announced a brace of anti-poverty initiatives worth a grand total of $2.2 million. Funding source TBD, since the Gov is determined to flatline next year's budget. Human Services Secretary Doug Racine described the initiatives as "more aggressive than efforts put forth in other states," and "a huge initiative [that] will make a huge difference that you aren't going to be seeing in the rest of the country."
Gosh, Doug. Mighty big (or should I say "huge") words for a couple mill. I know that's a lot of scratch for your average working-class stiff, but it seems like a spit-in-the-wind for the fight against poverty. Can two million dollars -— and that's generously assuming Shumlin comes up with a funding scheme that's acceptable to the Legislature — really "make a huge difference"? Somehow I doubt it.
Look, it's nice and all. But don't oversell what is, in reality, a very modest proposal.
And I wish good luck to the curiously variable 10-to-30 members of the Governor's new POoP, I really do. They're gonna need it.

A panic attack is a 1 of these things that actually grabs you by the throat and doesn't let go. A sufferer can virtually find himself or herself running around in circles trying to 'escape' the feeling of apprehension. However, this is the extreme case. What about those times whenever you are quite not sure what it is you're affected by? Not all anxiety attack symptoms hit you on the head with a sledge-hammer. Scmnewline So the question is, how can you tell if you're having a panic attack? In case you are having the following symptoms, you just might be. Among the most typical symptoms of the panic attack is actually a racing heart. It could practically feel like it is trying to jump from your body. If you place your hand to your chest, you can feel it hammering.
Another common symptom of anxiety attacks is feeling weak or dizzy. You may lose your balance or feel as if you are going to pass out. Of course these symptoms may also be caused by high blood pressure or even low blood glucose. That's the reason it is necessary to make note of your signs rather than only one or two. Scmnewline You might also feel a tingle or numbing sensation in the fingers. However, and many people don't really understand this, sinus problems may also result in exactly the same sense. Should you be prone to sinus problems or have allergies (see your allergist) that tingling sensation doesn't need to be due to panic. Scmnewline A common symptom is a feeling of apprehension or departure. Occasionally this may almost feel as a premonition. I am not suggesting that individuals having anxiety attacks can actually call the future (that's a theme for a different time) however, in their own minds, the person having the attack is positive that something awful will occur. Scmnewline In addition to the above, you might also feel sweaty or might be having chills. Of course this might also be caused with the flue or a severe cold. Again, you must have a look at each of the symptoms as a way to make a suitable self diagnosis.
A critical symptom is really one of chest pains. The reason this is serious is because what may seem to become a panic attack could well be the onset of a heart episode. If you are having chest pains, don't reckon. See a physician immediately, anxiety attack symptoms particularly if the pains worsen. Scmnewline You may even have difficulty breathing or feel as if you are losing control of yourself. That sense of loss of control is usually once the panic attack starts to worsen. If you're having many of the aforementioned symptoms, it is rather possible that you are having a panic attack. Once you have determined that much, the question is'what next? Scmnewline Managing panic attacks, beyond conventional medicine that may have serious unwanted side effects, can be your safest and best alternative. And yes, there are natural treatments for anxiety attacks. For more information on that topic, please see the link below. Scmnewline In the meantime,, please make a note of these signs any time that you feel that you are having a panic attack. Proper identification is the first important step to finding a treatment. Scmnewline Anxiety attacks and what cause them bewilder millions of women and men of all-ages. Even mild cases can disrupt your own life, but lots of this relies upon the severity of the attacks along with the person. A physician consultation is mandatory to obtain a precise analysis of this condition. There are a lot of variables involved, and often-times a man might be entirely mislead by the symptoms. Hence, it's best to see your physician, since you may think it is something different. The motives and causes for panic attacks are as variable and sometimes as vague as the signs. So we will lose some light on the reasons for panic attacks on your increased understanding. Scmnewline Panic attacks are theorized to be due to several things. If you feel a risk or a risk to yourself which you can't prevent, this will frequently trigger an attack. Remember though, that ordinarily this isn't a real risk. Though it is not a real hazard, your brain perceives or considers it to exist. One definite theory states that an episode is only an inappropriate reaction by the alarm detection mechanisms to outside perceptions. In plain English, these perceptions are considered real even when not. The body then reacts as if a real danger exists, since it doesn't know any otherwise. Some kinds of illicit drugs might bring on panic attacks in individuals who are prone to them. It's possible that a man with a predisposition for anxiety attacks tips the scales when specific medications are used. Medicines considered to be main suspects are amphetamines, cocaine, and cannabis. While some instances are caused by use and overuse there are several other instances which are the result of withdrawal symptoms. The latter refers to Ecstasy withdrawal and is identified as inducing particular panic attack symptoms. Panic attacks of the nature can only be avoided by you. Be certain to talk about the risks involved with making use of all these kinds of medications with your doctor.
Still other medical problems that carry problems such as panic attacks are hyperventilation and chronic fatigue syndrome. So what can complicate issues is that at times the condition and the panic attacks can be symptoms of each other. The sickness of hyperventilation may have panic attacks as a complication, together with a simple panic attack making a symptom of hyperventilation. These are the kinds of tough conditions that a man could have to deal with, and doctors try to find out what to treat, or handle both. It is imperative that you talk with your physician as quickly as possible if you're experiencing hyperventilation on a frequent bases.

In a recent op-ed, PA state representative Greg Vitali made a strong case for the state of Pennsylvania to work to incorporate more renewable sources into its energy portfolio. Specifically, he advocated reinstating the Sunshine Solar program, which provided financial rebates for both homes and businesses installing solar panels. Vitali also highlights how Pennsylvania lags behind other states when it comes to renewable energy requirements for the future.
When starting a solar panel installation project, its important to consider a contractor that is not only experienced, but well versed in the legal and financial options available. We've helped customers throughout the Main Line and Philadelphia enhance their business or residence with solar power, while guiding them in the legal and financial process.

GLOBAL WATERPACK - the Dynamics of Water
Water is essential for life. The rhythm of water governs trade and industry and shapes ecosystems. Natural lakes, wetlands, flooded areas and artificial water reservoirs often exhibit very distinct dynamics. Climate, topography, land cover and human intervention cause water bodies to increase or decrease, either periodically or long-term. DFD scientists have now developed a product which makes these dynamics visible globally.
GLOBAL WATERPACK is derived daily from data collected by the Terra and Aqua satellites. It shows at a resolution of 250 metres how many days per year locations on Earth were covered with water. Lakes situated in mid-latitudes barely change in size over the course of a year. But the extent of even very extensive lakes and wetlands in the subtropics and permafrost regions changes dramatically over the same time period. Artificial reservoirs also fluctuate noticeably in size. For example, reservoirs in Spain and Portugal dried up almost completely during the 2012 drought. In the future it will be possible to readily observe such developments with GLOBAL WATERPACK.
So far, GLOBAL WATERPACK is only available covering the year 2013. Since it is especially useful to have this kind of information for several successive years or decades, DFD is currently reprocessing all its relevant data sets from the year 2000 onward, and will continue to provide this data product for future years. Analysis of time series reveals long-term averages, anomalies and, looking forward, trends as well. As a result, long-term, gradual changes in the environment can be detected.
This product provides important input data for hydrological analyses, geoscience modelling and water resource management. Water availability, water requirements, and extreme events like drought, heavy rain, snowmelt and flooding can be monitored and studied with the help of GLOBAL WATERPACK.
Six excerpts from GLOBAL WATERPACK visualize the high variability of different water bodies with respect to water cover over time: a) American Falls Reservoir, USA b) Tuz Gölü, Turkey c) Shardara Reservoir, Kazakhstan d) lakes along the Amazon River, Brazil e) Lake Poyang, China f) Lake Dongting, China. Seasonal fluctuations can be clearly seen in the Lake Dongting example (f). Annual flooding of the Yangtze River causes the lake to expand up to six times its former size.

NBA All-Star DeMar DeRozan Gets His Own Theme Song

Share All sharing options for: NBA All-Star DeMar DeRozan Gets His Own Theme Song
Bob Donnan-USA TODAY Sports
If you're an NBA All-Star, you need to have your own theme song right?
Well Toronto MC Crossword has provided Raptors' swingman, and newly minted All-Star, DeMar DeRozan, with just that in an excellent little piece of wordplay and production, as can be seen below:
From Crossword on the creation of the track:
As a token of appreciation and recognition for the T.O. Hammer's breakout season, Toronto emcee Crossword (of Vibonics) linked up with producer JU$TUNLTD for this tribute track, aptly titled "DeMar DeRozan," mastered at the Kilzone by Juno nominee Fresh Kils. While Crossword is no stranger to athlete anthems (2011's "Zach Randolph" and "Bang It Like Bautista"), this one has another layer of depth to it. In highlighting the hustle one must possess to rise in the Association, he makes constant comparisons to the life of an independent artist, on the road trying to make a name for themselves. If you peer close enough, the parallels abound.
But this isn't about Crossword. It's about DeMar, his grind and dedication that have let to his awesome season. Ball don't lie.

Jamil Dehlavi: 'In Pakistan, there is always something in the offing'

Over the decades, the film-maker has told transgressive tales of the country's existential turmoil. Such commentary, however, has come at a price
@fbhutto
Thu 9 Aug 2018 11.30 EDT Last modified on Tue 14 Aug 2018 05.11 EDT
"My films aren't really shown in Pakistan," laughs the country's greatest living – and most radical – film director, who now lives in a converted chapel in Camden, north London. "They're a bit too risque."
To catch a Jamil Dehlavi film in his homeland is tricky. The last time was in 2006, when Infinite Justice, his docudrama about an American reporter held hostage and beheaded in Karachi, was shown somewhere on the Arabian seafront, the same Karachi shore you see in his films, shaded by the heaviness of monsoon clouds, the beige pallor of the light, and the tracks of sea turtles laying their eggs along the sand.
Born in the twilight of the partition, in 1944, to a Pakistani diplomat father and a French mother, Dehlavi was educated at Oxford University and called to the bar at Lincoln's Inn – which he abandoned in favour of studying film at Columbia University in New York. Over the decades, Dehlavi has captured the dark quality of Pakistan's existential turbulence: its chaos, controversies and longings.
His breakthrough was 1980's The Blood of Hussain, an insurrectionary drama that earned the young film-maker his laurels as a creative troublemaker. Dedicated to "the people of Pakistan", it is the tale of Saleem and Hussain, two brothers from a feudal family. The anglicised Saleem signs on to help negotiate World Bank loans for a new military government; Hussain lives on the land and devotes his life to protecting the poor from the oppression and greed of the country's military elite.
One month after shooting finished, Gen Zia ul-Haq toppled Pakistan's elected government and declared martial law. The film was banned and Dehlavi forced to flee the country. "Did I predict the military coup?" he smiles, unweathered by time at 73. "I'm not a fortune-teller. In Pakistan, there is always something in the offing."

The film was more than just prescient, it was dangerously transgressive. A moustachioed dictator shoots doves for sport. Soldiers beat peasants and bulldoze houses. A street entertainer dresses a monkey in uniform and congratulates him for becoming president before translating his babbles: "He says democracy is dead and you're in real trouble."
Today, the media wing of Pakistan's military are successful producers of commercial propaganda films such as Waar and Glorious Resolve. But The Blood of Hussain belongs to a different era, one when no artist would do the state's bidding. Yet Dehlavi stresses that he never saw it as an anti-army film. It was rather, he says gently, "an abstract essay on tyranny".
That film began with Zia's coup. His next, Immaculate Conception, was released in 1992, in the aftermath of the dictator's death. Emboldened, Dehlavi sought out a new taboo: sex. An infertile western couple submit themselves to a Karachi shrine run by transgender hijras, who promise that converting to Islam will bring them the miracle of a child.
This sensitive desi Rumpelstiltskin fable attacks white privilege, fetishisation and power, while taking care not to debase the people at the heart of the story. When a British do-gooder asks if he can photograph the hijras, the young woman replies: "Sure, you can take pictures, but don't degrade us. We may be eunuchs, but we have our dignity."
Dehlavi's films reflect Pakistan. They have messy, non-linear and humorous narratives that make sense in an environment of multiplicity and disorder. But even by his surreal standards, the director took an odd turn with 1998's Jinnah, which starts with Christopher Lee, as the founder of Pakistan, arriving in heaven to find that his file has been lost. An angel – Shashi Kapoor in a voluminous white salwar kameez – suggests that, since the computer isn't working, they can just walk around for one and a half hours playing 20 questions instead. Would you do it again, he asks, referring to the creation of the country? What did you think of Gandhi? Were you ever jealous of Nehru?
No, Jinnah huffs in response to the last, while the film launches a series of sleazy cheap-shots against his adversaries including, but not limited to, mutilating their names every time they are mentioned. It gets worse – but it could, it turns out, have been considerably weirder.
"There was a whole other strand that we didn't shoot," Dehlavi says, "in which Jinnah time travels and meets modern Muslim leaders like Saddam Hussain, Yasser Arafat and Muammar Gaddafi. But three-quarters of the way through the shoot, the Pakistani government pulled out of the film."

Even before state support was withdrawn, Jinnah was mired in stress and controversy. Campaigns accused the film of denigrating the father of the country by casting Dracula to play him and suggested that Salman Rushdie had written the script (he had nothing to do with it). At the height of the Rushdie rumours, armed bodyguards had to be stationed outside the actors' Karachi hotel. "I was approached to make the film," Dehlavi says. "I'm not sure it's a film I would have initiated." He trails off.
His more recent work grapples with real horror, rather than the hallucinatory. Infinite Justice, based loosely on the murdered journalist Daniel Pearl, was born out of Dehlavi's reaction to 9/11. "I was downstairs and the television was on in the background," he says, "and suddenly these images of the twin towers and the planes hitting them came on. When I saw this, I said out loud to my friend: 'Serves them right.'" He pauses as the words hang in the air. "And I wondered, why did I feel this way?"
Dehlavi's guerrilla film-making comes from this impetus – to question both external terror and the shock of our response. His brother once told him that he was always taking on the government and, in some way, his cinematic interventions (Jinnah aside) have picked at sacred cows. Seven Lucky Gods (the Chinese figurines from the film's title sit behind Dehlavi today, displayed in an elegant armoire) interrogated migration and the power and abuse of a British politician, while Blood Money, a 2016 short, is a revenge fantasy loosely based on Raymond Davis, the CIA contractor who shot two innocent men in Lahore and was spared jail by Pakistan. All follow the same disobedient impulse: to question the unquestionable.

For a generation of Pakistanis born in the shadows between martial law and censorious civilian governments, Dehlavi's early films are especially evocative because of their audacity. We met in the weeks before Pakistan's recent elections, which were blighted by suicide blasts, political tension and claims of widespread army interference, but studiously avoided the topic. In these uncertain times, commentary comes at a price.
I wonder what Dehlavi makes of the films coming out of Pakistan today and he offers some bland encouragement: he hopes they are successful, though he's not sure what the industry's trajectory will be. Does he see anyone on the horizon making "abstract essays on tyranny"? "No," he shakes his head solemnly, "and there won't be any because we have a repressive system, we have a censor board that's strict."
Would he return to films that take on Pakistan's shadowy powers? "I doubt it. I don't think one can mess with the military these days." Dehlavi tells me he is working on a new script: a gangster film set in the Karachi underworld. He wants to shoot it in Urdu on location in Machar Colony, the city's largest slum, with a cast of local actors. Is that safe? I ask. "Why wouldn't it be?" he replies, still smiling.
Between the Sacred and the Profane: The Cinema of Jamil Dehlavi is at the BFI Southbank, London, from 10-12 August, with Dehlavi in conversation on 11 August. The Blood of Hussain and Towers of Silence will be released on Blu-ray and DVD on 22 October.

Divorce / Mediation
In addition to being a thorough Divorce Lawyer, Ms. Vierra is just as skilled in Mediation
Divorce can be a frustrating and tedious process. Sheila Vierra's Honolulu clients can count on her Family Law expertise to manage the legal framework supporting their endeavors.
Mediation is sometimes a great option.
One of the aspects of divorce that many people rightfully dread is the idea of airing private family business in divorce court. This painful, expensive process can be largely avoided when divorcing spouses arrive at their own divorce settlements outside of court. Settlement negotiations sometimes accomplish this goal, but there are often major points of disagreement that make this option ineffective.
Couples who want to avoid a full-blown court trial often turn to mediation to resolve disputes.
When Sheila's involved in mediating a case, she helps her clients successfully resolve it as quickly and efficiently as possible to avoid unnecessary expense.
Experience makes a world of difference in Family Court
Clients of Sheila Vierra soon discover the benefits of working with this experienced family law attorney when it comes to child custody, child support, paternity, guardianship, adoption and domestic violence. They say Sheila is accessible, prepared in court and detail oriented. Her clients feel confident and comfortable bringing their challenging legal issues to her. With Sheila's guidance, they move forward in a timely manner and are able to resolve legal problems constructively.
Working in your best interest
Assets that you brought into a marriage and kept separate may not be part of the marital estate. Other assets such as inheritances or gifts received during the marriage may also not be divisible between the parties in the divorce. Understanding the difference between marital separate property and marital partnership property is the first step in the process of dividing property in every divorce in Hawaii. Sheila Vierra in Honolulu is available to guide you through this process effectively.
As you prepare for divorce in Hawaii, you will need to do a complete inventory of your and your spouse's assets, including:
Bank accounts, investment accounts and other financial accounts
Retirement accounts,including pensions, 401(k) savings accounts and more
Real estate, including the marital home, second homes, time shares, commercial properties, and investment real properties
Business interests and other investments
Household goods and other belongings, such as furnishings, tools, collectibles and other valuables
The prospect of dividing all assets can seem daunting. An experienced family law attorney such as Sheila Vierra can streamline the process for you. Division of debts may apply.
If a dependent spouse will lose health insurance upon divorce, a divorce decree may include provisions for payment of that person's health insurance. Spousal support (alimony), if applicable, is typically determined along with asset division.
Negotiations, mediation or litigation will determine the terms of your divorce. A personalized case evaluation will allow you to progress through the asset division aspect of your divorce efficiently. Ms. Vierra is prepared to help protect your property rights as you prepare for a divorce, whether you have been a breadwinner or homemaker. If both of you have held jobs or owned businesses, she can take all relevant factors into account while guiding you through the necessary legal steps toward divorce.
Know your property rights as you prepare for a divorce.
Fill out the contact form below, and Sheila will get right back to you.
We do this all in-house for our clients
Division of marital assets must take into account all property of both spouses. Most people are familiar with the idea of dividing assets like a house, cars, bank accounts and household goods. Asset division also includes assignment of less visible assets to each spouse - such as retirement assets. Getting legal provisions in place at the time of a divorce ensures that each party will receive his or her equitable portion when distribution of retirement assets begin.
A Qualified Domestic Relations Order ("QDRO") is a financial and legal document used to assign some or all retirement assets to a spouse, former spouse, child or other dependent of a worker in whose name the plan and/or accounts are titled. While a QDRO is a judicial order, the Family Court relies on divorcing parties to prepare and process these documents with the appropriate retirement plans.
A QDRO (Qualified Domestic Relations Order) is normally necessary to complete the retirement division aspect of a divorce. Many family law firms do not prepare QDRO's themselves.
Rather, they outsource this essential task. Sheila Vierra is one of the few family law attorneys in Honolulu that prepares QDROs for individuals statewide. Clients of Sheila Vierra as well as clients of other divorce lawyers take advantage of this service.
Couples who feel far from retirement age (such as in their 30s or 40s) may consider the division of retirement accounts to be an abstract, far-off concept, since neither spouse will receive the money for decades. However, the division of retirement assets can be the single largest portion of asset division in a divorce, with the most long-lasting impact on financial security over a lifetime.
Sheila Vierra' clients include a wide variety of people from all socio-economic backgrounds. All enjoy the reassurance that comes with thorough, professional services handled efficiently by Ms. Vierra, including preparation of QDROs.

'About 10' people in hospital with Omicron as Sajid Javid makes booster plea
Sajid Javid has said he is not able to confirm any deaths linked to the Omicron Covid-19 variant in England to date as he made a plea for people to get vaccinated.

The Health Secretary stressed that a delay between infection, admission to hospital and death should be expected, adding that around 10 people are currently hospitalised with the variant in England at the moment.
Speaking to Sky News, he said: "In England, there's about 10 people that are confirmed, in England, with Omicron [in hospital].

'Long Covid has ruined my life' Health
"At this point in time I can't confirm a death.
"There is always a lag between infections and then hospitalisation and then, sadly, death."
'Play your part'
Mr Javid urged everyone who is eligible to 'play their part' and get their Covid-19 booster vaccine, as he warned that the country is "once again in a race between the vaccine and the virus".

Extra vaccination sites will be opened to meet the target alongside additional mobile units, and 42 military units will be deployed across every health region.
Clinic opening hours are to be extended to allow more people to get vaccinated, with Mr Javid saying the plan is for centres to be open for at least 12 hours per day over the Christmas holidays, apart from Christmas Day.
He told Sky News: "We are going to have even more vaccination centres, we are going to open all vaccination centres seven days a week for at least 12 hours a day - some for many, many longer than that - some for perhaps even 24 hours.
"Over the Christmas holiday period… I don't think they are going to open on Christmas Day at this point. The current planning is to open them every other day.
"We are throwing everything at it. And can I just please say this to your viewers - please play your part, this could not be more important.
"We need to win this race against the growth of this virus."
'We have got to act early'
Mr Javid warned that "we have got to act early" and said that booster vaccines are now "more important than ever" as Omicron cases are growing at a "phenomenal rate".
The push to offer millions of booster doses by the end of December will see GP teams asked to "clinically prioritise their services to free up maximal capacity" to support the vaccination programme, NHS England has said.
This will be done alongside delivering critical appointments such as cancer, urgent and emergency care.
However, the NHS said this "might mean that for some people, routine appointments are postponed as part of the national mission to roll out boosters".
Mr Javid said that it "should not be the case" that people die because they cannot get treatment on the NHS due to the booster drive, but some appointments and surgical procedures will be "pushed into the start of the new year".
He explained: "There will be a focus on any urgent need and any, of course, emergency care.
"If we don't do this, if the NHS doesn't do this, then more people will suffer."
The Health Secretary added that people with symptoms of cancer will be "completely unaffected" by the diversion of NHS resources during the booster rollout.

Question: In my story the Protagonist becomes the leader of one group while the Antagonist becomes the leader of an opposing group. With this in mind, wouldn't the Antagonist have a variety of support characters within their organization just as the Protagonist does?
Few villains see THEMSELVES as the bad guy. In fact, in my story the Antagonist believes they will save the world if they defeat the Protagonist and the Story Goal. Doesn't it stand to reason the Antagonist will also have a Guardian, Contagonist, Sidekick, Skeptic and so on? Even if their "on screen" presence is greatly diminished in comparison to the Protagonist's support characters, shouldn't they still exist and have their affect upon the Antagonist?
Answer: You're absolutely correct that a Sidekick, Guardian, etc. can be allied with the Antagonist. The definitions of these archetypes says nothing about whose side they are on. A Sidekick can support any character. A Guardian can help anyone. All that matters (in terms of creating balance) is that all the motivations are represented in the cast.
However, it is not necessary for both the Protagonist and the Antagonist to be surrounded by a complete set of the other character archetypes. In fact, it may be redundant for there to be more than one of each archetype in the entire cast--just as it would be unnecessary for there to be two Protagonists.
raise a key point here.
If you are telling the story from two points of view, sometimes the Protagonist's and sometimes the Antagonist's, then each of these characters will be the main character of his own story. Whenever you are writing from one character's point of view, you are putting them into the role of the main character and creating a separate story for that character.
You may not develop each story fully. For instance, while the hero's story may have all four throughlines fleshed out, the villain's may only have one or two. In some stories, we only get partial throughlines for the secondary POV characters--maybe just a scene or two from his point of view. Very often, they share an overall throughline.
However, within his own story, the villain could certainly be the protagonist. His story could have its own story goal, and different characters may take on the archetypal functions.
It's rather like how in Star Wars, when R2D2 and C3P0 are alone, R2 becomes the main character and takes on the Protagonist role. C3P0 then becomes the Skeptic. But when the story switches to Luke's point of view, the droids become co-Sidekicks.
It's entirely up to you how much you want to develop a secondary story, and you are also at liberty to stay with your hero's point of view, just have one main character and one developed story. Really, it depends how much you want your reader to empathize with the villain.


For a country that is on the brink of a gargantuan public bailout of its toxic-loan riddled banking sector, or failing that, a full-blown financial crisis that could bring down the European financial system, things are eerily quiet in Italy these days. It's almost as if the more serious the crisis gets, the less we hear about it — otherwise, investors and voters might get spooked. And elections are coming up.
