Hyundai caps the first semester of 2011 with a 5% growth in total sales or 10,355 vehicles in the passenger car (PC) and light commercial vehicles (LCV) categories. This was largely driven by the 18% rise in PC sales to 4,726 units from 4,004 units sold in the same period last year. LCV sales slipped 3% on the back of supply shortage resulting from strong global demand, particularly for the Tucson and Starex models. The 5% sales growth in the first semester of 2011 was due to the market's reception of the new Accent, Elantra, and Sonata models, including the H-100 and Santa Fe models.
"As we continue to institutionalize Hyundai's global dealership standards among our dealers across the country, we are confident that it will further enhance total customer experience with our brand and ultimately keep us on an upward track in our sales growth," says Maria Fe Perez-Agudo, President and CEO, Hyundai Asia Resources, Inc.
In June, Hyundai PC sales peaked to 1,415 units from 871 units in the prior year or 62% growth. Total sales in both PC and LCV categories hit 13% or 2,293 units. This month's growth is an affirmation of Hyundai's relentless pursuit to push the standard of the Filipino car-buying experience at the dealerships with the ongoing rollout of the Hyundai Global Dealer Enhancement Program - Phase 2 or DEP2, upgrading dealerships to new standards.
HARI maintains its positive sales outlook for the second semester considering: 1) a bullish investment climate revved up by Moody's investment upgrade of the Philippine's credit rating from Ba3 to Ba2 and steady interest rates despite higher inflation; 2) increasing remittances and strengthening peso on encouraging developments from Europe, MENA and Japan; 3) expected increase in consumption demand as the holidays are approaching accompanied by the Philippine government's resolve to increase infrastructure and social spending; and 4) aggressive customers warming up to the Hyundai brand and expectant of new models to be launched by HARI as it celebrates its 10 years in the industry.

than File Clerk. Yep, I'm up obsessing about my job. I was laying there, in bed, thinking about the company I now work for. It's only a small company. They only did 1.5 million last year and I guess they're still growing. I'm now sunk in all the paperwork from just this year. I have all of last years and a little bit of 2003 piled up around my office. All of it needs to be filed. Supposedly what I'm to do is rearrange all of the client and vendor files, file, sort etc. There are two girls in the office, one in receivables and one in accounts payables. Those two ladies are the reason I have this job. Sometime in 2004 they gave up telling the owner that they needed help. They were doing all they were supposed to do plus dispatching and then filing in their spare time. They stopped filing. They started piling. It only took a year before the owner realized that he couldn't find anything, anymore. They then hired me. An ex-records manager sort of person without any formal training in Records Management. I've just a lot of experience and an uncanny ability to organize. Well, I've got things organized now to where I (and anybody I explain my system to) can look in the right places. I've done a lot in this past month only working part time. Now, I'm afraid, I'm slipping into the abyss I think of as full time. I can't work full time. I'll get sick again. I'll make myself sick again. I'll get totally stessed out and only think, eat and sleep the job. I don't want to go there again....unless it means a lot of money and I sort of doubt that's in the near future. No I mean it, I don't want to go back to the way I was. No wonder I drank when I got home. I was always so keyed up that many times I interrupted people while they were talking because I was in too much of a hurry to even let them complete their thoughts. It was all about me. Hmmm. I wasn't even thinking about my alcoholism when I started this post.
Maybe what this post is really about is my fear of returning to the old me. I could see it happening. I wasn't so bad back then was I? Ohhh I was. They say you can't go back but the truth is you can. You can if you stop thinking about what's really going on with you. I can if I just go blindly into another form of addiction. The workalcoholic.
Well, I feel better now. I think I can sleep now. Nuff said.
LOL Queen Noor, spoken like a true sponsor!!!
"It/I wasn't so bad, was I?"
The meetings remind on a daily basis how fucked-up I was.
Hang in there! It will get better and remember to always keep a positive outlook on life and work. We are never given more than we can actually handle may it be by god or some universal being. Besides, we like having you here and we don't need you sick! We need you healthy so you can keep us organized. Luv ya!

American troops leaving Iraq for Afghanistan – report
By Web Desk on February 6, 2018 News World View
American troops are leaving Iraq for Afghanistan as part of an agreement between Baghdad and the US-led coalition, contractors told AP. Sixty percent of troops will eventually be withdrawn, according to an Iraqi official.
Dozens of US soldiers have already been transported over the past week, along with weapons and equipment, according to the contractors.
"Continued coalition presence in Iraq will be conditions-based, proportional to the need and in coordination with the government of Iraq," coalition spokesman Army Col. Ryan Dillon told AP.
A senior Iraqi official close to Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said 60 percent of all US troops currently in the country will be withdrawn, citing an agreement reached between Baghdad and Washington. That would leave some 4,000 US troops to continue training the Iraqi military.
A journalist at the Al-Asad base in western Iraq reported that troop movements were taking place at the facility, which appeared to be in line with the contractors' accounts. However, the Iraqi government said the process has not officially begun.
Speaking to AP from the base, US Army 1st Lt. William John Raymond said his unit "had a recent change of mission and soon we'll be supporting a different theater of operations in the coming months." He declined to say where his unit was being redeployed.
If the drawdown is true, it represents the first of its kind since the war against Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS) was launched over three years ago. It also comes ahead of national elections in Iraq, where the presence of US troops is a heated issue.
The US first launched airstrikes against IS in Iraq in August 2014, as part of a military intervention which was initially described as "limited." The presence of US troops grew, however, as Iraq's military struggled to roll back the extremists.
Iraq declared the defeat of IS in December – a major victory for country which once saw nearly one-third of its territory controlled by the group. Washington has backed Iraq's victories against IS, including the re-taking of Mosul. However, Iraq's Shiite-led paramilitary forces have called for a withdraw of US forces, while Prime Minister Abadi has said that Iraq's military will need American training for years to come.
The report comes after US President Donald Trump stated during his first State of the Union address that "new rules of engagement" have been in force for some months inside Afghanistan, adding that troops would no longer be "undermined by artificial timelines." Trump unveiled his strategy in Afghanistan – the scene of America's longest war – in August, vowing that retribution against terrorist groups there would be "fast and powerful."

Searching for a Christian Science Practitioner in Hong Kong?
Julie Porter, CS offers Christian Science treatment around the globe! Her residence is the Atlanta, GA United States area, but treatment can be given for individuals in Hong Kong, Africa, Antartica or just about anywhere in between!
A Christian Science Practitioner is somebody who uses the spiritual laws of God, as presented by Christ Jesus, to provide healing to all facets of your life.
Jesus said for his followers toJesus instructed his followers to "Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely you received, freely give." Complying with what Jesus said, Christian Science Practitioners use their time bringing healing to those who request it.
Incorporating the healing power of God, available to every one as proven in Christian Science, practitioners help women, men and children across the globe.
Christian Science healing does not entail counseling, physical touch or drugs. The practitioner does not advise a patient or guide them. The practitioner is, on the flip side, helping the patient open his thought to divine Truth.
Just as Christ Jesus did not need to be in person to heal people who were sick, you do not need to be face to face with a practitioner to receive healing. Jesus established healing had nothing to do with the body and everything to do with seeing people the way God sees them instead of the way humans view each other.
However, if you need a practitioner to go to your house, many practitioners can arrange to travel to you. Some other practitioners keep public offices where you can have an in-person meeting. The majority of practitioners give Christian Science treatments from their own homes. Their patients can be right down the road or countless miles away.
The short answer is no. Since Christian Science is not merely a religion and is instead the verifiable laws of divine healing as taught by Christ Jesus, anyone has the opportunity to apply these divine laws for healing. Just like anyone has the potential to use the laws of mathematics or aerodynamics. Those laws do not belong to anyone and are available to everyone.
Mary Baker Eddy formed the Church of Christ, Scientist to be a place where fellow readers of Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures could go and study weekly lessons in Christian Science. However, Christian Science is a Science open and available to all. Mary Baker Eddy envisioned churches of all denominations to be preaching and explaining from Science and Health along with from the Bible.
How Do I Connect with You for Christian Science Healing in Hong Kong?
Need Christian Science Practitioner in Hong Kong? I can help. I am located in the United States and provide treatment around the globe.
Treatment is $40 for one day. If you do not get a hold of relief after one treatment, additional treatments are $25 per day. If you desire longer term metaphysical support, reduced fees are offered.


Prague, April 13 (CTK) – Prime Minister Andrej Babis's ANO evidently wants to have the weakest possible and most servile partner in the government if it prefers the resumed talks with the Czech Social Democrats (CSSD), Tomio Okamura, leader of the Freedom and Direct Democracy (SPD), told journalists today.
President Milos Zeman recommended to Babis that he conduct talks with the Communists (KSCM) and the anti-EU SPD, but the notion was rejected by the ANO broader leadership on Thursday.
Okamura said the planned return of ANO to the talks with the Social Democrats was an unpleasant surprise both for him and probably also Zeman.
On Thursday, Okamura spoke with Zeman.
The previous talks between ANO and the Social Democrats foundered last week.
"ANO's having favoured CSSD was an incredibly unpleasant surprise to me. Zeman, too, must have been surprised," Okamura said.
"I will not speak on behalf of him, but on Thursday I was sitting with him almost two hours and this must be the news of which he had no idea, either," Okamura said.
Okamura said the possible cooperation of ANO and the CSSD was no good solution for the Czech Republic.
"It is better for the Czech Republic if the government is entered by the parties with a stronger mandate," he added.
Okamura sharply criticises the CSSD, arguing that it does not observe its words and is not able to guarantee the votes of all of its deputies.
However, it is Babis who bears full responsibility for the creation of the government, Okamura said.
"I can also see behind the decision Babis' effort to have the weakest partner. One can see that CSSD is servile and never fulfilled what it promised," he added.
"As seen by the election winner, this may be more advantageous. The more servile and weak the partner, the bigger field of activity for the election winner," Okamura said.

Growing Foods to Meet the Needs of the Community
With the junior high's new structure this school year in their collaboratory classes, students have had the opportunity to receive hands-on experience and strengthen the skills necessary for success in the 21st century. Throughout the year, students honed their critical thinking skills as they created solutions and communicated them to a specific audience.
All collaboratories pose a driving question that requires students to find answers to. The Hunger Expedition, in particular, is a collaboratory that has students researching how they can grow their own foods to meet the needs of the community. Their answer was to build a garden.
Over the course of the school year, students involved in the Hunger Expedition built eight garden beds, two benches, and a shed. They also planted multiple herbs, fruits, and vegetables. The garden is flourishing and it will continue to do so over the summer with the help of Cristwood senior residents.
"We have partnered with the Cristwood Park residents and are selling our produce in their farmer's market from June – August," said Ms. Adams, co-teacher of the collaboratory. "They will care for our garden during the summer months and also work with our students next year on WOW Wednesdays."
In partnering with Cristwood residents, the class' goal is to increase social connectivity, encourage healthy lifestyle behaviors, and fulfill the one mission philosophy at King's. Cristwood residents are signing up to help tend to the garden while students are on summer vacation and in return, those who help will be able to take home some of the produce.
"It has been such a pleasure to watch our students exploring the real issues of food, health, and hunger while building our raised bed community garden," said Mr. Kyler, co-teacher of the Hunger Expedition. "We have heard over and over from our students how they love the outward action of building this product to help solve a problem. This year's students have laid a great foundation and we hope to have next year's groups develop our hydroponics and aquaponics growing systems. The sky's the limit!"
"Our work this year has brought me so much pride and job," Ms. Adams remarked. "What a rewarding process for us all to witness the students design our community garden, then build the raised beds, shed, benches, and finally plant our first crop of vegetables and strawberries."
The items grown in the garden will be sold at the Cristwood Summer Farmer's Markets on certain Tuesdays in July and August!

On Our Nightstand, August 10th-16th
Super Sad True Love Story
By Gary Shteyngart
I'm very picky about dystopian fiction: it's incredibly hard to create a vision of our future world that feels vivid but still realistic. Shteyngart's shallow, artless America feels all too probable, but its people also still seem like people, and you ache for them.
In Utopia
By J.C. Hallman
The "utopia" concept has always interested me, and apparently it has also interested Hallman because he wrote a great book about it. In Utopia covers anything utopian in both concept and execution, from the history of the word to real-life utopian communities to Pleistocene rewilding.
After slogging through the weighty cultural history, movie tie-ins, and countless editions of this book, I've found that it is, at its core, a beautifully written and expansive cookbook. French cooking is both lavish and simple at the same time—a cuisine that rewards patience is always a worthwhile pursuit.
The Skating Rink

Only three chapters in, Bolano's characters propel and scatter like gravel thrown from the back tire of a rusted get-away truck.

What We Talk About When We Talk About Love

You have to laugh really – I mean, how can I take people seriously when they send spam that is so off target?
Let me share the laugh with you!
I received an email from someone who tried to be my friend and show how good he is at internet marketing – mind you, he isn't good enough to find my name on my website and use it in an email! He does point out that he has my contact details, including phone number, from my site though.
I see that you're not ranked on the first page of Google for a childcare centre search. And this is a problem for me why?
I'm not sure if you're aware of why you're ranked this low but more importantly how easily correctable this is. I'm guessing it's because I don't have a childcare centre or use that keyword? If he found me through that keyword, it says a lot for my childcare articles though!
There's no reason you can't have a top three ranking for the keyword childcare centre based on your site structure and content. You have a very nice site. Perhaps the fact I don't have a childcare centre (or a website about childcare) is a good reason not to rank top three? And if you don't know that, I have no reason whatsoever to believe you have looked at my site to know it's good!
I didn't send this email out to very many people (oh please!) but I am currently reaching out to a list of your 'keyword competitors' (If their keyword is 'childcare centre', they aren't my competitors at all) as well. But I do favor your website because I can see your website monetizing the targeted website traffic the keyword childcare centre can deliver. If you truly believe my site is best placed to maximise this keyword, you REALLY have no idea about relevant content and keywords – and I REALLY don't want to make use of your 'help' and 'skill'.
He followed this up with four requests to call me, and one to call him. Sure, Jason, call me so I can tell you how little you really know, at your long distant phone cost!
Hopefully that gave you a laugh, too.
Here's to lots of laughs and very little spam in our lives!
I found a post about developing your skills at blogging which I thought worth mentioning. It is also relevant on the whole for newsletter writing.
It doesn't mention 'be yourself' directly, but I think that is the only major point I would add to the list.
I found number 7 interesting – I am always honest in my blog but don't feel I am particularly brave as communications isn't usually very controversial 🙂 But then I read Chris' comments about this to find him saying pretty much the same thing and suggesting there is bravery in choosing and presenting topics.
Which of the above points do you find most challenging in your blog writing?

Supergirl Season 5: Kara & Lena Relationship — Katie McGrath Interview
Before the Arrowverse's best and brightest team up to save the world(s), Supergirl is dealing with an equally devastating crisis: Kara and Lena's sunken friendship. When last we saw the embattled besties, Lena was encasing Kara in a prison of ice — a metaphor for their frosty new dynamic.
"That scene was a culmination of Lena's story this season," Katie McGrath tells TVLine. "Imagine what it would feel like to suddenly realize that everyone has believed the worst thing that you've thought about yourself — your deepest, darkest fear. She's been pretending that she's angry this whole season, but she's not angry, she's hurt. She's falling apart in pain, and what you saw in Episode 7 was the moment Lena finally broke."
Below, McGrath elaborates on Kara and Lena's falling out, including her theory about the "leap of faith" required to bring them back together:
TVLINE | I have to start by giving you kudos on your performance last week.
Thank you! It was a long day to film that, and part of me thinks I'll get PTSD if I watch it again. Melissa [Benoist] is such an astonishing actress, so I feel like I'm just trying to keep up with her most of the time. Her performance in that scene was heartbreaking. It was a day, is basically what I'm saying. It was a day.
TVLINE | Had you ever been on the Fortress of Solitude set before? That must be surreal.
No, I'd never been on it! It's so iconic. It's one of those sets that you walk onto and you really feel like you're stepping into a bit of DC history. All of a sudden, you're part of this story that stretches back all these years. That set does it more than any of the others, I think.
TVLINE | I saw some people tweeting that they saw shades of [your Merlin character] Morgana in Lena in this week.
[Laughs] I can't help it, I keep playing all these wonderfully powerful women who are a bit broken. I don't know what it is about me that I keep getting cast as these characters who are emotionally broken but outwardly strong.
TVLINE | How would you describe Kara and Lena's relationship at the moment?
They are on two sides of a precipice, and the only way for them to fix it is for one of them to jump and try to get to the other side. One of them has to do it.
TVLINE | Preferably Kara, since she can fly.
[Laughs] Yes. But you know what I mean? One of them has to take that leap of faith, not knowing if they're going to get to the other side or if they're going to fall.
TVLINE | I have to be honest: As much as I want them to fix things, it's really entertaining to watch them at odds.
It's delicious, I know. What's so lovely about Kara and Lena is that we had years to build up to this. It's not often on a TV show that you have the luxury of time. It's been a privilege to be able to tell this story slowly. There's such a weight and such a resonance because it's taken us so long to get here.
TVLINE | Looking ahead to Sunday's midseason finale, the synopsis says that Hope becomes an "invaluable asset" to Lena. How has it been working with Andrea Brooks in this new capacity?
Andrea has always and will always be an invaluable asset to me. If you ever want to talk about a real superwoman, talk about Andrea being eight months pregnant and working as a series regular on two shows. That woman is unbelievable. And I don't think anyone else would have been been able to transfer from Teschmacher to Hope. In the hands of a lesser actress, it wouldn't have been as compelling.
TVLINE | So much of Lena's anger relates to Lex's death, but we've seen from the crossover trailers that he's alive and well. How might Lena react to that discovery?
Well, you're supposing that he's going to be fine. It's the crossover, so anything can happen. There are five episodes to tell that story, so we don't know what's going to happen. It's a whole new idea, a whole new world, so any presumptions are maybe misplaced.
TVLINE | I'm a little scared for this crossover.
[Laughs] A lot of us were scared going into it. We saw the scripts, and we were like, "Oh my God, they're trying to kill us all." I have never had so much respect for the Number Ones on the shows. I'm like, "How do you do this?"
What are your hopes for Lena and Kara's friendship as we head into Sunday's midseason finale (The CW, 8/7c)? Drop 'em in a comment below.

I've been using Keepass2Android to handle passwords on my tablet and phone and find it somewhat better than wonderful. In many ways it is better that the Windows version, making complex password entry from my tablet and phone quick and easy.
Manual Syncing: Plug your Android device into your computer and copy the keepass data file over. Do this every month or so and only enter new passwords into the computer. If you add one on your phone, copy that phone's file to the computer and do a file sync.
Automatic Syncing: Save your file to something that automatically syncs for you, like Google Drive. I've been using Google drive for my password file for a few weeks and it works just fine.
If you choose to keep your password safe offline, then download "Keepass2Android Offline". If you want to allow automatic syncing via Google drive (or some other similar service, download "Keepass2Android".
The biggest secret of making it easy to use Keepass2Android is the same as the secret for use on your Windows computer. Open the Website from Keepass, not the browser. Always store the login URL in the URL location of your Keepass entry. Then launch the site from your Keepass program after you find the right password. When you open Keepass, switch to the Keepass2Android keyboard, and then find the password, it will copy the username and password to your Keepass Keyboard. Then launch the site and it will be ready to fill in the username and password.
Enter the last 3 or 4 characters, whichever you chose to open the database.
Quick Unlock allows you to unlock the database with only the last few characters of your password. You get only one try. If you fail, then you are forced to enter the full password. The default length is 3 characters, which means that someone would have one chance in about 500,000 to guess it. I changed it to 4 characters making it one chance in 40 million.
Now you can find the password using the search icon and Keepass2Android will enter the username and password into the Keepass2Android keyboard.
Launch the browser by clicking the link you have inside your keepass database, just like you do with the Windows Version. Always store the login URL in the URL location of the keepass database.
When asked for the username and password, your Keepass2Android keyboard will appear and provide buttons for username and password.
The database automatically locks after a few minutes, so you do a quick unlock to get it open again.
This system allows you to have long, random, complex passwords that can be used with minimal effort from your Android phone.
If you use Google Drive to sync, then you will always have current passwords in both your phone and computer.
If you use autosync, then you need these extra steps once. After installing Keepass2Android copy your password file from your Documents folder to your Google drive. You will need Google Drive (or other syncing service), on all syncing devices. If you copy it to Google Drive, then add an identifier so you know which one is on Google drive. I added -G to my file name, so it becomes ss-g.kdbx.


The new kitchen and breakfast area will overtake the existing sunroom, which overlooks the backyard.
Host Kevin O'Connor drives up to find gutter fabricator Mike Vidulich installing a one-piece covered gutter that should never have to be cleaned. In the backyard, Landscape Contractor Roger Cook shows Kevin the native plants he's using to turn a patch of lawn back to nature, as required by the local Conservation Commission. Master electrician Allen Gallant shows Kevin the existing aluminum wiring in the old part of the house and how he?s safely working with it to update the recessed light fixtures and add new sconces over the mantel. Master Carpenter Norm Abram visits a factory in Londonderry, NH to see how they're making and testing two types of windows for our project. Roger shows Kevin the last piece of the Conservation puzzle, the infiltration system that is going to disperse the water from our gutters into the ground.
Host Kevin O'Connor heads to Kansas City to help a homeowner transform an old backsplash. Then, the guys ask "What Is It?" Afterward, Plumbing and Heating Expert Richard Trethewey helps a homeowner install a new kitchen faucet.
In the barn, Tom walks Kevin through the options of insulation materials.
Tom showed Kevin 3 types of insulation: Spray foam, fiberglass and blown-in cellulose. Insulation specialists can be contracted to install spray foam and blown cellulose. Fiberglass insulation can be found at the local home center.
Kevin heads to Kansas City to help a homeowner transform an old backsplash.
To obtain a proper bond to the backsplash, the tile must be cleaned with a degreaser, then roughed up using ultra fine sand paper. The paint process is a 2-part process, starting with cutting in the grout lines and rolling the tile face. Once the first coat dries, repeat the paint process again. The manufacturer recommends letting the paint dry overnight before reinstalling the electrical outlet and switch plates.
Tom shows an object that is orange, has a U-shape and lights up, and the guys try to guess its intended use.
The Highlite Paint Brush light.
In the barn, Roger gives Kevin an overview on how to buy and use fertilizer.
Before using fertilizer in your backyard, Roger recommends getting a soil test done. When buying fertilizer, look for the 3 major elements: nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium. A fertilizer with high nitrogen levels is used for rapid growth. A fertilizer with more phosphorus and potassium is used to stimulate root growth and works great with growing flowers. Liquid fertilizers tend to act faster and the solid fertilizers are slow release. Organic fertilizers are available as well.
All of the fertilizer products can be found at the local garden center or the local home center.
Richard helps a homeowner replace a kitchen faucet with a more modern piece.
Richard installed the Parma Single Handle Pre-Rinse Kitchen Faucet, manufactured by Danze.


You're correct, it's time to start thinking about your fall wardrobe!
I just bought these amazing flowy pants from Hollister as well as this cable knit sweater. They scream comfort and style. I already wore them this summer and can't wait to wear them in the fall. The open leg flare and coziness of the sweater make this outfit a definite go-to. You could dress this up or dress it down by changing the top, shoes, or accessories.
Scroll below to check out my first ever youtube style video!

Hi! I'm a friend of Jia's (Studio15), great first video - you have a lovely personality and energy! Re: quality, are you shooting with iphone/ipad, or a camera? I'd rec a camera and if so, this (http://www.macxdvd.com/mac-dvd-video-converter-how-to/best-video-format-for-youtube.htm) may be good reference of video characteristics.
Thanks for your feedback! I'm using a Nikon D3100, It looks great on my computer but somewhere between processing and getting uploaded it seems to be pixilated!

Q: php mailing list - considerations and potential pitfalls? my client needs a mailing list in their site.
the idea is that users can subscribe to get newsletters or announcements.
i expect the list to contains hundreds of users, not tens of thousands.
i have not done this before (only single messages like "thank you for registering")
my initial idea was sending each message to all users in 1 mail() call,
using BCC for each user or sending it separately using a loop.
but then a friend mentioned the possible problem of the server blocking a mail
containing 1000 bcc's and also the a page timeout preventing the above mentioned loop from being fully executed.
are there any other issues to consider?
any possible solutions?
should i use tools like PHPList,  Swiftmail to phpmailer?
thanx in advance :-)

A: I suggest you use an existing mailing list program. There are a bunch of them out there, free and otherwise, and they've been around a long time. Most of the problems are solved as well as they're going to be solved - there's no use resolving them.
If you're running this on your own server, one of your biggest concerns will be getting flagged as a spammer. Related, but also a concern in its own right, is having your email server and dns entries absolutely correct. You will constantly face issues where email does not get to one particular email address or one particular domain. You'll find you've been blocked by medium_sized_isp.com because you don't have an SPF record set up or something like that. In other words, doing this will entail a number of system administration tasks and issues in addition to programming tasks. Be sure to discuss/contract/bill accordingly.

A: If you can afford it, something like Mailchimp may be your best option. They'll handle your list for you, as well as the nitty-gritty involved in formatting, and of course all the technical side.

A: On a purely technical level, PEAR has a module called Mail_Queue which is good for things like this.  Each recipient gets a message sent directly to them.  One advantage of doing it that was is you can insert tracking variables, personalization, etc. into the message.

Grow Your Impact with Volunteers
Volunteers make a critical contribution to the sustainability of the nonprofit sector, enabling our organizations to deliver programming and services, and connecting us to new swaths of the community. It really does "take a village", and volunteers are an important part of the team.
Over the last two years, many arts organizations in Newfoundland have experienced a significant decline in the number of volunteers working with their organizations* and we want to help.
We are seeking four (4) organizations who are keen to develop their work to recruit and work with volunteers.
You may be looking:
To recruit volunteers for the first time
To re-engage volunteers after a period of quiet
To diversify your current cohort of volunteers
To learn about new tools and recommended practices that will help build stronger relationships, and help volunteers become an integral part of the success of your organization.
Participants will receive:
Two one-on-one coaching sessions to understand the unique needs of your organization, and help find useful tools and resources to help you meet your goals efficiently.
Two group coaching sessions, to work with, and learn from a small group of peers across the province.
Interested organizations should submit this simple Expression of Interest Form no later than Dec 21, 2022.
Questions about this initiative? Reach out to Amy at: ahenderson@businessandartsnl.com
*20 organizations who participated in ArtSupport NL reported that their volunteer numbers fell 46% collectively from 2020-2022.
SUBMIT Expression of interest
These sessions will be facilitated by Bettina Ford. For the past 17 years Bettina has been employed by the Community Sector Council Newfoundland and Labrador (CSC NL). She provides training on non-profit governance and management and delivers workshops to help organizations in the non-profit and public sectors plan for and engage people in volunteering. Bettina assists with program design and informs research and policy development for the community based sector. An accomplished key-note speaker and presenter at conferences, she is a skilled facilitator who has worked with leaders province-wide, bringing people together to plan, collaborate and build communities.
She is no stranger to the volunteer sector, having served two terms on Gander town council in her twenties and this fall, after a 24 year hiatus, was elected Deputy Mayor. While her history of community involvement is vast, most relevant is her recent participation in a local, staged production of The Vagina Monologues to raise money for Cara Transition House.

Energy Management System Audit and Implementation in Educational Buildings
J. Nouri, A. R. Karbasi, R. Borgheipour and A. Taheri
Concerning the high energy consumption of educational buildings in available study; it is conducted to estimate the energy consumption at the Faculty of Humanities (Building No. 2), Science and Research Campus (SRC) of the Islamic Azad University (IAU), Tehran, Iran. Auditing and implementing the energy management system in the implied building, efforts are finally made to propose managerial solutions towards reducing energy consumption in this building. After gathering data of the building, including quantity of energy consumption in a one-year period of study in 2005 and the energy consumption equipment in the building followed by a detailed data analysis, the overall energy consumption tendency is investigated in the building. As a result, it is found that the lightening system and electric motors of central heating system consumed the highest level of electricity energy and the highest thermal energy consumption due to boilers. By more analysis of the entire data, solutions are suggested for reducing the energy consumption used in lightening, central heating and cooling systems and boilers. A review of all the practical solutions for improving the systems available in the building showed that regarding the energy management matrix, the energy management system in the building stood at zero point, because the building lacked any operating unit under the title of 'Energy Management' which could monitor energy consumption at the university. Therefore, it is concluded that the energy efficiency in the building may be optimized to a certain extent by presenting a system for energy data collection, analysis and systematic implementation as well as a system for collection of basic information about energy-consuming equipment by means of measurement instruments. By providing this system, procedures are presented for optimizing energy consumption and saving in the building, while a management system and a complete information system are created at the same time. By employing the procedures described in the present study, 173,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of power as well as 323642 cubic meters of natural gas can be saved per year.

Q: How to add three foreign key for same child table with three master tables? Here I have four tables in my database named test_center. Those are:

*

*test_user --> PK = u_id

*test_metadata --> PK = test_id

*student_detail --> PK = Student_id

*test_records --> PK = test_record_id (Child table)

Table 4 is child table and 1, 2, 3 are masters.
I am trying for test_records table to have three foreign keys from each of these master tables, but it is showing some errors as follows. (I am using MySQL Workbench 5.0 and MySQL server)

Remembering Mr. Maz
December 2016; Algebra 2/Trig (3rd Period)
Michael Aeschbacher, Website/Print Editor
Originally I had planned to make an interview with Mr. Maz for this website. But unfortunately, I never got the chance.
Mr. Mazaheri was one of Pinole Valley High School's longest-standing teachers, having worked there for over a decade. He taught Algebra 2/Trig, Physics, Statistics, and Calculus. Over the past year, he had been diagnosed with cancer, and began to undertake chemotherapy. For a while, it seemed to be working out; he had reported that his recovery was looking good. However, further complications arose when he unexpectedly came down with pneumonia very recently; he was sent to the hospital for about half a week. He was able to make a return the following Monday, but had to leave by lunch period due to his condition. As the rest of the week progressed, the outlook seemed that he would have to take substantial time off for recovery.
That Monday would prove to be the last time I would see him. On December 15th, the last day before our winter break, it was announced that Mr. Mazaheri had passed away from his health complications.
I really can't describe how I felt after hearing the news. I just felt off for the rest of that day. And I'm feeling off writing this right now. It was just a perplexing thing to wrap my head around. Here was my teacher, who had taught me last year, was teaching me this year, whom I had planned to take next year, and he was just gone. While talking to friends who were also students of his, it was clear that it was a mutual sentiment.
I'm not just saying this for the sake of it; in my honest opinion, Mr. Maz was my favorite teacher at Pinole Valley.
Ironically, he was also my hardest teacher at Pinole Valley; this was another mutual sentiment among his students. They guy was pretty darn well-known for being a challenging teacher, but that's one of the very things I appreciated: he was a challenge. A good kind of challenge. See, the thing about a challenge is that the harder it is, the greater the payoff will be. He was the only teacher where I felt I really needed to study; consequently, getting a good grade in his class felt especially rewarding compared to my other classes. He would even skim over some optional advanced concepts if we were up for it. When you have a dose of adversity that's very concentrated in one area, it really gives you an opportunity to apply yourself, and that's a fantastic exercise for anyone to build character. Plus, his status as a difficult teacher made him my first choice for writing a college recommendation (an opportunity that's sadly gone).
But let me be clear: it was hard material he was teaching, not that he was a hard person to deal with. On the contrary, Maz really wanted to see all of his students succeed. He had a unique system of what he called "lending credit"; what he would do is temporarily boost the grades of struggling students, so that they would see what they could achieve and be motivated to really push themselves. A day in his class would usually be devoted to either lecture or working; whenever we worked, he would be totally cool with socialization provided that we were getting our work done on time. Speaking of which, he made calendars to help us keep track of where we should be at, but we could still turn in work at our own pace as long as it was done before test dates. For me, this created a fantastic work environment, and he even encouraged us to collaborate on our understanding of concepts and problems. If I ever got really stuck, he was always at his desk, happy to give a hint or through explanation on particularly tricky problems. This became so useful to me that I started coming in at lunch; not only was the invaluable help still available, but it was a quiet environment where I could get substantial work done for any of my classes. And I haven't even talked about his notes yet; he would consistently give us loads of the most through and in-depth notes I've ever received from a teacher, as well as countless practice tests and extra problems. He sometimes stayed up in the early hours of the morning before class to write this stuff, just so that we could have it. I know it sounds like the kind of statement some teachers would say in a forced manner to get some "genuine appreciation" out of their students. But Maz just mentioned it so matter-of-factly, as if it was just a normal, un-noteworthy thing he did. That shows real devotion, and surely gets my genuine appreciation.
You'll notice that last paragraph is pretty massive; I almost don't expect half of the audience to read the whole thing. But it shows all the evidence of the countless things he did to help us out. I noticed he would be hard on some students who found themselves distracted often, but it goes back into what I said before: he just really wanted to see all of you guys succeed. To quote my good friend Angel, "If you screwed up in his class, it was your own fault."
Putting aside teaching for a second, Maz was just an awesome guy. There was a lot of goofy qualities about him, like how he would just randomly lapse into German sometimes, or his trademark "no mickey-mousing" phrase. One time in Algebra 2, our photographer Lestyn Park came to class with a fresh haircut. Maz complimented him, remarking that it made him resemble an owl, before proceeding to make owl noises. Just out of the blue. And then there were his stories. Man, this guy told us all kinds of life stories; everybody listened because they were just so darn entertaining. During a session of army training, an adjacent soldier (with bad eyesight) shot his target for him, while he was shooting a rock for "the beautiful sound it made." When he was young, he climbed his roof and successfully blocked a gauge that would measure his family's energy bills (of course, he found out later that you couldn't just do that). The last one I remember him telling us dealt with legal issues and shady car salesmen. I'm gonna miss those stories.
I'm gonna miss Maz in general. Let me re-iterate that you could ask any of his students, and I'm certain that they'd agree with a lot of the stuff I've mentioned in here. Everyone was saddened by his loss; I know a couple friends were moved to tears.
Mr. Mazaheri, on behalf of PVHS, we thank you so much for your service to us; you were a great member of our community, and neither you nor your work will be forgotten.
Side Notes:
I'd truly like to offer my deepest condolences to family and friends of Mr. Maz. It's been hard on us here at PVHS, but it must be a monumental challenge for you guys, especially so close to the holidays. Again, I'm not saying any of this for the sake of it, but just judging by the way he was (and he would talk about his family a lot in class), he loved you all very much; just about anyone would know that. Best wishes, love, and support to you all.
I'd also like to give a super-duper shout out to our math specialists Pat O'Kane and Susan Richards. Since last year, these two folks were brought in to work with the math program and to provide support for Maz in the classroom. Now, during these hard times of his unexpected absence, they've stepped in to fill in his role for the time being. Personally, I've gotten to know "Mr. O" from last year's Algebra 2 class, as well as this year's Physics class. Since middle school, I've dealt with many a replacement teacher, and boy, that can really drive a class straight off a cliff sometimes. Which is why I'm so, so very thankful and appreciative to have quality substitutes (let alone volunteers) that go above and beyond with their work. A million thanks to you two.

Stock market volatility continues Monday, following the worst week for stocks since the financial crisis, driven by fears of global supply shortages and other economic effects of the coronavirus. But yields on the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond fell to 1.08 percent. "The drop, driven by rising bond prices, suggests that investors are still looking for safe places to park their money, as well as growing expectations that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates to support the economy," reports The New York Times. "The virus, now detected in at least 61 countries, has shuttered factories and squeezed businesses across the globe. Companies are also readjusting their annual profit expectations, economists are lowering their forecasts for global growth, and policymakers have signaled that they are ready, if needed, to act to stabilize the economy." To get a sense of the impact on the middle market, Mergers & Acquisitions asked executives from private equity firm the Riverside Co., virtual data room provider Merrill Corp. and law firm Paul Hastings to weigh in.

The coronavirus may cause a drastic change in payment habits, as consumers shift to digital channels to reduce their risk of infection from handling cash, reports PaymentsSource, published by Mergers & Acquisitions parent company, Arizent. Many regions are already seeing a rise in contactless transactions, which could be seen as less prone to spreading disease than the handling of cash or paper checks. Travel advisories could lead to a drastic drop in tourism spending, which could hurt the growth of global payment systems that rely on foreign travel for growth. At the same time, companies that have been undergoing a digital transformation, or promoting new technologies such as cashier-free checkout, may see more rapid adoption if their offerings can reduce the risks of transmitting the virus through human interactions. See the full story, How coronavirus could change the payments industry.

Pushed by a groundbreaking California law mandating it, more companies are putting women on their public corporate boards. The law faces pressure in court and may not stand, but its rippling effect has already started to increase the visibility and awareness of the important benefits of board diversity. Investors are taking notice and trying to get ahead of the curve. According to a study published by MSCI in March 2018, having three or more women on a company's board of directors translates to a 1.2 percent median productivity above competitors. Read the full guest article by Venable's Belinda Martinez Vega: Why businesses are adding women to their boards.

Mexican Grand Prix Preview
It's time for Round 18 of the FIA Formula One World Championship as we head to Mexico City for the Mexican Grand Prix. The Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez sits over 2km above sea level, making the 4.3km lap a breathless experience. Being the Grand Prix run at the highest altitude above sea level of the season, the race provides uniquely challenging conditions for both the team and drivers. Following on from the excitable and passionate fans in Japan, Mexico will continue the electric atmosphere with the famed baseball stadium section near the end of the lap which will be packed with fervent fans.
Both Robert and George have not driven the current track layout, which was redesigned in 2015, and look forward to the challenge of tackling a new circuit. Nicholas Latifi will continue his FP1 sessions with the team, this time taking Robert's place around the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez for opening practice on Friday.
Dave Robson, Senior Race Engineer: At more than 2km above sea level, Mexico City is a tricky circuit. The aerodynamics of the car become less effective and despite the long straights, the drag sensitivity is only moderate. Cooling of the power unit and the brakes can be very difficult, and most teams will spend time evaluating options during FP1.
Pirelli have provided their middle compounds for this event, a combination that we saw recently in Russia. Warm-up could be difficult, especially in the early sessions but this should get easier as the weekend progresses.
Having brought a new front wing concept to Suzuka, we will spend time on Friday completing further testing and data gathering. Nicholas Latifi joins us this weekend for the first of three consecutive FP1 sessions. This weekend he will drive Robert's car, before taking over George's car in Austin. Nicholas has done an extremely good job each time he has driven the car this season and we look forward to welcoming him back and getting his impression of the latest upgrades.
Robert Kubica: I am looking forward to going to Mexico City. I only had the chance to drive the circuit in its previous layout for a demo run over 10 years ago, so it will be a new experience for me. It is a unique place because we run at very high altitude, so the downforce level is much lower due to the air density. I will be handing my car to Nicholas for FP1, so I will have to learn the track quickly in FP2.
George Russell: I think Mexico will be a challenging weekend for everybody due to the altitude of the circuit, but also the heat. It will be an interesting weekend for myself; it's a track that I have never driven, and I always love driving new circuits. I am looking forward to the challenge and excited to go racing again.
Nicholas Latifi: I'm really excited to get back in the car in Mexico as it feels like a long time since my previous outing at Spa. I got the chance to drive in Mexico last year in FP1, so I am familiar with what to expect. It's quite a unique track because of the elevation, so you have a lack of grip, which makes it challenging. As always, my goal remains the same for FP1, to have a clean session and help guide the team going into FP2.

Kristina Anapau | Srivideo
Born name: Kristina Elizabeth Anapau Roper
Place of Birth: Hawaii, United States
Alma mater: Skidmore College (B.S.), University of Hawaiʻi System, University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Occupation: Actress, writer
Height: 1.63 m
Parents: Gloria Lea Kaiser Roper, Richard Stephen Roper
Kristina Elizabeth Anapau Roper (born October 30, 1979), better known as Kristina Anapau, is an American actress and writer. She is known for her roles as Maurella on the HBO series True Blood and as Galina in the 2010 film Black Swan.
Kristina Elizabeth Anapau Roper was born in Hawaii. She graduated from high school at age 15 and began her studies at University of Hawaii that same year. Before gaining success as an actress, Anapau had intended to become a classical ballerina, having trained seriously since the age of 4. She is a classically trained pianist and holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Skidmore College in New York.
Early career (1997–2009)
As a student of 16, while majoring in Art History and Dance, and with no plans of being an actress, Anapau was discovered by a talent agent and encouraged to audition for the 1997 film Escape from Atlantis (1997), which filmed in Anapau's native Hawaii. She landed the role of Katriana in the production and at the request of the film's director, Strathford Hamilton, she relocated to Los Angeles where she pursued more work, ultimately continuing to work steadily across theater, film, and television.
Over the next few years, Anapau appeared in numerous productions, including the films Madison, the comedy 100 Girls, and The Opposite Sex, as well as TV series General Hospital and Once and Again.
At age 20, Anapau joined the girl group "3G's" and they landed a recording contract with Hollywood Records and they spent the better part of a year recording an album and opening for Destiny's Child on MTV's TRL Tour.
Anapau starred in the 2005 thriller Cursed, then appeared in the independent feature Self Medicated. She also starred as Cassidy Merteuil in Cruel Intentions 3. During this time, Anapau guest starred and recurred on many television series, including House, M.D., CSI:NY, Monk, Without A Trace, and Knight Rider.
Anapau also starred opposite comedian Dane Cook in the Sony Television produced pilot, Cooked.
Recent work (2009–present)
In 2009, Anapau was cast in Black Swan, directed by Darren Aronofsky. "Darren is a genius whose focus and discipline on set is contagious", Anapau said in an interview, reflecting on her work in the 2010 film. "To say that working on Black Swan was inspiring would be an understatement."
Anapau then completed several independent films including The Speak and the paranormal thriller 5 Souls, which she also co-produced. She appeared on an episode of the AMC series The Glades and then went on to land the role of faerie, Maurella, in HBO's hit series, True Blood, appearing in five episodes over the fourth and fifth seasons.
In 2012, Anapau appeared on the NBC show Grimm, where she played "Megan Marston, a quiet, sheepish secretary working at a Wesen church who is actually a sheep-like creature dubbed a Seelengut".
Anapau starred as Theresa in the 2014 paranormal feature Altergeist (aka Sighting).
Anapau says she enjoys working in film and television equally, saying they have their "respective pleasures and challenges" and simply looks "for content that inspires me and hopefully elevates the world in some way—films have a track record of best fulfilling both the previous and the later, but there are some really incredible television shows out there that are doing the same. There is a lot of freedom to cross back and forth within the industry now."
Anapau made her debut as the faerie Maurella on episode of 11 of True Blood's fourth season, and reprised the role in four episodes of the fifth season.
The actress told The Huffington Post in an interview that "It was such a privilege to join the cast of True Blood. I was a huge Alan Ball fan prior to joining the show-- I'm so fortunate to work with an amazing group of people, immensely talented actors and fantastic crew."
When asked about seeing a greater prevalence of strong, powerful female characters like those on True Blood, Anapau says, "Women audience members want to see strong women doing interesting things in film and on television – it's good for the industry and great for the world."
Anapau has appeared on the cover of the Holiday 2012 issues of both Modern Luxury and Status LA magazine.
She has also been a cover model for magazines such as MUSE, Faerie, Prodijee, and Stuff. In January 2003, Anapau was ranked #98 on Stuff magazine's "103 Sexiest Women in the World".
2012 marked Anapau's entry into the realm of editorial writing, with published articles in The Stndrd magazine, Status LA magazine, and The Hollywood Film Journal.
She won the Copper Wing Award at the 2006 Phoenix Film Festival for Best Ensemble for Self Medicated (2005).
Kristina won the Actress No Ka Oi award at the 2011 Big Island Film Festival.

The Plain Dealer is a Restoration comedy by William Wycherley, first performed on 11 December 1676.  The play is based on Molière's Le Misanthrope, and is generally considered Wycherley's finest work along with The Country Wife.

The play was highly praised by John Dryden and John Dennis, though it was equally condemned for its obscenity by many. Throughout the eighteenth century it was performed in a bowdlerised version by Isaac Bickerstaffe.

The title character is Captain Manly, a sailor who doubts the motives of everyone he meets except for his sweetheart, Olivia, and his friend, Vernish.  When Olivia jilts him and marries Vernish, he attempts to gain revenge by sending a pageboy (who, unknown to him, is a girl in disguise and is in love with him) to seduce Olivia.  When the truth of the page's identity is discovered, Manly marries her instead.

The French philosopher, historian, and dramatist Voltaire adapted The Plain Dealer to make his own play, titled La Prude (The Prude).

Comments from 1911 Britannica:

Scarcely inferior to The Country Wife is The Plain Dealer — a play of which Voltaire said, "Je ne connais point de comédie chez les anciens ni chez les modernes où il y ait autant d'esprit." ("I know not of a single comedy of either the ancients or the moderns where there is so much wit.") This comedy had an immense influence, as regards manipulation of dialogue, upon all subsequent English comedies of repartee, and he who wants to trace the ancestry of Tony Lumpkin and Mrs Hardcastle (in She Stoops to Conquer by Oliver Goldsmith) has only to turn to Jerry Blackacre and his mother, while Manly (for whom Wycherley's early patron, the Duke of Montausier, sat), though he is perhaps overdone, has dominated this kind of stage character ever since. If but few readers know how constantly the blunt sententious utterances of this character are reappearing, not on the stage alone, but in the novel and even in poetry, it is because a play whose motive is monstrous and intolerable can only live in a monstrous and intolerable state of society; it is because Wycherley's genius was followed by Nemesis, who always dogs the footsteps of the denier of literary art. When Burns said: "The rank is but the guinea stamp, The man's the gowd for a' that"; when Sterne, in Tristram Shandy, said, "Honours, like impressions upon coin, may give an ideal and local value to a bit of base metal, but gold and silver will pass all the world over without any other recommendation than their own weight," what did these writers do but adopt—adopt without improving—Manly's fine saying to Freeman, in the first act: "I weigh the man, not his title; 'tis not the king's stamp can make the metal better or heavier"? And yet it is in the fourth and fifth acts that the coruscations of Wycherley's comic genius are the most dazzling; also, it is there that the licentiousness is the most astonishing. Not that the worst scenes in this play are really more wicked than the worst scenes in Vanbrugh's Relapse, but they are more seriously imagined. Being less humorous than Vanbrugh's scenes, they are more terribly and earnestly realistic; therefore they seem more wicked. They form indeed a striking instance of the folly of the artist who selects a story which cannot be actualized without hurting the finer instincts of human nature.
