What Happens During Sunday Services?
Might You Be a Quaker?
One feature that distinguishes Quakers is the power and purpose of the Peace Testimony. Friends believe every person is a child of God, and they recognize God's Light in everyone, including their adversaries. With that deeply held conviction, Quakers generally oppose war, believing it is inconsistent with God's will. If we are asked to serve in the world as instruments of reconciliation and love, how can we wage war?
Most Americans today are unlikely to face being sent off to war against their will because our country has no military draft. Still, many Quakers are uncomfortable with American military might and the knowledge that their taxes support military operations. Some determined souls become war tax resistors, refusing to pay the portion of their taxes that would fund the Pentagon's budget or putting that money aside in an escrow account rather than paying it to the federal government. But such civil disobedience can put resistors in jeopardy. Some have had their wages garnished or their cars and houses seized to pay back taxes.
A bill now before Congress provides an alternative path: it would give taxpayers opposed to participation in war in any form based upon their moral, ethical, or religious beliefs or training the right to have their federal taxes used for nonmilitary governmental purposes only. Pacifists could be faithful to their beliefs without withholding their taxes from the government.
The proposed legislation, called the Religious Freedom Peace Tax Fund Act (H.R. 2377), was introduced last May by Rep. John Lewis of Georgia; it's the latest version of a bill first introduced in Congress in 1972. The National Campaign for a Peace Tax Fund, a Washington, D.C., a not-for-profit social welfare organization, has worked to build public awareness and support for such a fund since the 1970s.
The campaign's founder, retired physician David R. Bassett, developed strong moral objections to war and military service growing up during World War II. After graduating from medical school in the 1950s, he was directed to join the military medical corps. While not yet a Quaker himself, Dr. Bassett argued, with the help of Quaker friends, that he be allowed alternative service as a conscientious objector. After a long campaign of letters to the Selective Service, he was granted CO status. Instead of serving in the military, Dr. Bassett spent two years working with the Quakers' American Friends Service Committee as a doctor in India.
Later in life Dr. Bassett started the campaign for a peace tax fund because he recognized that – while thousands of Americans feel conflicted about paying taxes for military purposes – most are not willing to become war tax resistors. The fund would allow those opposed to war to pay 100% of their taxes without violating their religious or ethical convictions, and it would also allow the government to collect the taxes it is due by law.
As Quakers, we feel strongly the need for alternatives to supporting war. If you are interested in the campaign for the peace tax fund, visit the website at peacetaxfund.org. There are many ways you can help.

Are you running a business? Are you a top level manager in an MNC? Does your work profile lend you to coordinating with junior level employees for mundane and repetitive tasks? If yes, then you already know what a hassle it is to assign each small task to different individuals and then keep track of each person. If any one employee in the chain falters, the whole operation is jeopardized and a routine activity turns into a logistical nightmare.
Asssign a person to receive your client at the airport.
Arrange for transportation via a cab or office vehicle.
Book a hotel room for the clients to check in and freshen up.
Reserve a table for your power lunch at an up-market restaurant in the city.
Delegate a junior the task of giving a guided tour of your office complex to the clients while you carry on with other meetings.
Ensure timely pickup for them from the hotel to the airport for departure.
Now, this seems simple enough. But you are dependent on junior level office staff and runners to make the day go hitch-free. One small misstep and the reputation of your company is on the line. You certainly cannot afford that your client has to wait for someone at the airport or has to be rushed back to catch his return flight. Also, it would not do if you entered a restaurant and found no table reserved for you.
All these are small tasks but if not done on time and up to the mark, they have a deep impact on your business. The client may feel that your attitude is lax and may not sign that most important deal with you. The cost of a small mistake then turns out to be huge.
Here is where we step in. Introducing Suria International Services Pte Ltd`s TASK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM.
We will take the example TMS customized for a Maid Agency to explain its working.
The TMS is installed with all employees of the organization.
The administrator creates an event on a specific date: for example, pick up a maid -Ms. Jane, from Terminal 1 of Singapore International Airport on 04th May, 2017 at 13:30 hrs. She needs to be dropped off at a client`s home in Main Street Singapore. The office would require copies of the updated and stamped travel documents, passport and visa of Ms Jane for recording purposes at the office.
Now, the admin feeds all the required information, i.e, Ms Jane`s id, passport, Visa document no., Flight Details, Airport terminal and pickup and drop-off times and address on the app.
This event is visible to the junior level staff/ runners. One of them, say, Mr. John is assigned the whole task. He reviews the information and accepts the task. Now the admin knows it is Mr. John`s responsibility to handle Ms. Jane`s itinerary.
The admin can keep track of Mr. John`s movements and real time location via the embedded GPS tracking built in the app. So, at any given point in time, the admin is on top of the situation.
Suppose there is a snag and an issue comes up with Mr. John and he is not able to make it to the airport or if the cab breaks down midway, the admin can track it in real time and assign another runner to complete the logistics.
Peace of mind for the top level executive. He doesn't have to call different people and different locations and depend on their updates of what is happening on the ground.
Real time updates with the help of GPS tracking.
Fixing of responsibility on junior level employees for a particular task in the chain of events.
Flexibility for the admin to assign different tasks to different personnel based on their capabilities, rapport with clients, etc and make last minute adjustments so that the plan runs smoothly.
Reliability of the app owing to its robust designing means that the admin can trust what he sees on his app screen and take decisions accordingly.
TMS can be customized easily according to industry and organization`s individual and unique demands.
Increased productivity in business which only means one thing – more profitability.
So, why have you still not installed the TMS on every device of your organization???


Located at the top of the 40-storey skyscraper at 110 Bishopsgate (also known as the Heron Tower), Duck and Waffle is officially the highest restaurant in the UK.
The venue places emphasis on local, rustic, seasonal and sustainable British ingredients and an ever-changing menu of cocktails.
Last Saturday some friends and I went for brunch to see what all the fuss was about. We were immediately greeted by a super-fast glass lift that give us a sneak peek of the breathtaking view - a taster of what was yet to come.
With the Gherkin below us and the rest of the city stretched out beyond, the restaurant offers a panoramic view of the city.
We lingered in the entrance bar where you can admire (and photograph) the view without being in the way. In the company of a grand chandelier we spied on dinners two floors below us in Sushi Samba before taking our seats.
We decided to order the duck egg en cocotte for the table. Baked in the oven with Gruyere cheese, wild mushrooms and truffle the dish was wonderfully creamy and fun to share - I just wish I took a picture.
I would have felt I was cheating the place if I didn't try the restaurant's signature dish of Duck and Waffle. The dish consists of crispy confit duck leg, fried duck egg and a mustard maple syrup. At £17 it was remarkably good value and unlike any other brunch dish I've had before. The mustard maple syrup was a thing of joy and the crisp duck fell off the bone - an absolute delight.
Duck and Waffle took brunch to new heights - with news that the restaurant is now open 24/, I'd happily return come day or night.

Кіко Мартінес (; 7 березня 1986, Ельче) — іспанський професійний боксер, чемпіон світу за версією IBF (2013—2014) у другій легшій вазі і (2021—2022) у напівлегкій вазі, чемпіон Європи за версією EBU (2007—2009, 2010, 2011) у другій легшій вазі і (2018, 2022) у напівлегкій вазі.

Професіональна кар'єра
2004 року дебютував на професійному рингу. Перші 16 поєдинків провів у Іспанії. 25 серпня 2007 року в Дубліні, Ірландія, маючи рекорд 16-0, вийшов на бій проти чемпіона Європи за версією EBU у другій легшій вазі Бернарда Данна (Ірландія) і переміг технічним нокаутом на другій хвилині першого раунду.

27 лютого 2009 року зазнав першої поразки рішенням більшості від британця Рендалла Манро, втративши титул чемпіона.

В наступному бою за статус обов'язкового претендента на титул чемпіона світу за версією IBF 25 вересня 2009 року програв одностайним рішенням Такалані Ндлову (ПАР).

11 вересня 2011 року, здобувши перемогу одностайним рішенням в бою проти Арсена Мартиросяна (Вірменія), завоював вакантний титул чемпіона Європи за версією EBU у другій легшій вазі, невдовзі відмовився від титулу, а 15 квітня 2012 року знов завоював вакантний титул чемпіона Європи за версією EBU в бою проти Джейсона Бута (Велика Британія).

9 лютого 2013 року в Белфасті, Північна Ірландія, зустрівся в бою з Карлом Фремптоном (Велика Британія). Мартінес з перших раундів пішов уперед та пресингував суперника, але у дев'ятому раунді правий короткий удар Фремптона попав у щелепу Мартінеса, надіславши його у важкий нокдаун. Іспанець з великими зусиллями піднявся, однак рефері вирішив зупинити бій.

17 серпня 2013 року в Атлантік-Сіті, Нью-Джерсі переміг нокаутом у шостому раунді чемпіона світу за версією IBF у другій легшій вазі Хонатана Ромеро (Колумбія) і відібрав звання чемпіона.

Провівши два вдалих захиста проти Джеффрі Матебула (ПАР) і Хасегава Ходзумі (Японія), 6 вересня 2014 року Кіко Мартінес вдруге вийщов на бій проти Карла Фремптона і знов програв одностайним рішенням суддів, втративши титул чемпіона.

18 липня 2015 року в бою за титул WBA (Regular) у другій легшій вазі Мартінес програв технічним нокаутом у другому раунді непереможному (31-0-2) британцеві Скотту Квіггу.

27 лютого 2016 року Кіко Мартінес вийшов на бій проти чемпіона світу за версією WBA (Super) у напівлегкій вазі Лео Санта-Круса (Мексика) і програв нокаутом у п'ятому раунді.

2018 року Кіко Мартінес двічі зустрівся в бою з чемпіоном Європи за версією EBU у напівлегкій вазі співвітчизником Марком Відалем. Перший бій закінчився нічиєю в третьому раунді через розсічення у Відала, а в другому 27 жовтня 2018 року Мартінес здобув перемогу одностайним рішенням, завоювавши титул чемпіона.

18 травня 2019 року Кіко Мартінес вийшов на бій проти чемпіона світу за версією WBC у напівлегкій вазі Гері Рассела (США) і програв нокаутом у п'ятому раунді.

13 листопада 2021 року в Шеффілді, Англія Кіко Мартінес вийшов на бій проти чемпіона світу за версією IBF у напівлегкій вазі Кіда Галахеда (Велика Британія) і сенсаційно нокаутував того у шостому раунді, ставши чемпіоном світу у другій ваговій категорії.

Remember the hardwood? The squeak of a sneaker. The sound of the whistle. That last second shot. The Gymnasium collection takes its inspiration from a simpler time in our lives when victories were measured on scoreboards and teamwork wasn't just for meetings.
The first incarnation of this line was launched in 2008 with the high school history lesson series. Created from recycled gym floorboards, this limited edition collection used the graphic lines and simple silhouettes of the court to pay tribute to the simplicity and spirit of sport.
Today, it reinvents itself as Gymnasium, a mass-produced series that uses sustainable, eco-friendly materials like renewable pine and controlled Danish oak with water-based fixatives and varnishes. The result is a brilliant series crafted by Denmark's oldest cabinet makers Bruno Hansen carpentry.
Like its predecessor, Gymnasium honors its past while investing in the future. For every piece purchased, mater donates a percentage of the future. For every piece purchased, mater donates a percentage of the profits to promoting sports in developing countries, allowing a new generation to be inspired to play and create.

Moses-in-a-boat (Rhoeo discolor) exhibits dimorphic coloration: healthy plants are green and robust, while the infected ones are pink and stunted pink (center). Such suspicious characteristic should be referred to specialists to prevent further spread. Humans are the most common agents of transmission of viral and other diseases.
Tomato infected with mosaic virus may display unusual colors of fruits and leaves thought to be associated with soil nutrient deficiency and varietal characteristics. The virus is cosmopolitan, and infects not only the members of the Family Solanaceae such as eggplant, tobacco, pepper, Irish potato, but a host of other plants belonging to other families. More than a hundred field crops are susceptible to the virus.
Yellowish and stunted, the plant continues to grow, reproduce and complete its life cycle while carrying a virus that cause the bunchy top appearance of the plant - rosette arrangement of the leaves. Local folks unaware of the condition of the plant just regard it as fancy, which then favors its spread in the banana plantation
Red pepper (Capsicum annuum), healthy (left) and infected with mosaic virus (early stage) may appear the same, but plant pathologists can easily detect the difference. The virus does not kill the plant, it exaggerates the mosaic and chlorotic patterns as fancy characteristics. This exacerbates the spread of the disease starting with touch to insect bite to plant-to-plant contact in the field.
"Frog eye" spots and chlorotic venation, including stunting and early defoliation are attributed to a complex of pathogens, with the virus as among the primary causes. Host is Terminalia catappa (PHOTO)
Facts about plant viral diseases.
1. Viruses in general cannot be seen with the naked eye. Not even the laboratory light microscope. With the electron microscope we can see and study them.
2. The largest group are mosaic viruses. They cause yellow and green spotting of leaves, stems blossoms and fruits.
3. Mosaic destroys chlorophyll, resulting to stunted growth, and therefore poor harvest, and may lead to the death of the plants usually in the later stage.
4. Another group of viruses is called yellows, that causes yellowing, leaf curling and dwarfing.Mode of attack is to block the plant's vascular system, preventing water and nutrients to pass through. Infected plants show no symptoms, and therefore transmit the disease without detection.
5. Plant viruses enter the cells directly through wounds caused by weather, humans, and vectors like aphids, whiteflies, and leafhoppers, mealy bugs, and other organisms which pierce the plant and such its sap. Horticultural practices like grafting and inarching direct transfer the virus.
6. Viral infected plants cannot be cured. It is through prevention that can stop the disease from being introduced or from spreading.
7. Foremost is quarantine. Second is to plant only virus free seeds, because viral disease is systemic, that is, all parts of the plant carries the virus.
8. Rouging infected plants and burning them is a common method on the farm. Eliminate volunteer crops as these may serve a continuing or alternate host of the virus.
9. Crop rotation and fallowing (allowing the farm to rest) breaks the life cycle of the disease.
10. Tobacco mosaic caused by a virus, Marmor tabaci, is cosmopolitan. It is known to infect more than 150 types of plants which include vegetables, flowering plants and weeds.
11. The most important plants infected belong to Family Solanaceae which is composed of commercial crops valued at billions of dollars in world agriculture and trade - tomato, tobacco, eggplant, pepper, Irish potato.
12. Virus-infected plants are mistaken for overdose in pesticide spray, side effect of herbicides, pollution in various forms, but the most confusing likeness is deficiency in minerals like iron, zinc, and boron, although these are needed by plants in trace quantities. Ferrous deficiency causing chlorosis and stunting, often thought to be incipient viral signs.
13. Viruses differ from fungi and bacteria in that they do not produce spores or other structures capable of penetrating plant parts. Viruses enter through wounds, and spread through farming practices.
14. Tobacco virus survives manufacturing process - drying, redrying and making cigars and cigarettes. It remains dormant up to 20 years . Then it resurrects on a healthy tobacco plant or any member of the solanaceous family – by the mere touch of a smoker – and the virus in no time spreads like fire infecting field after field.
15. On entering a host the virus begins to multiply by inducing host cells to produce more of its kind. Viruses do not cause disease by consuming or killing cells but by taking over the metabolic cell processes, resulting in abnormal cell functioning.
Beware! These plants samples show the characteristic plant virus symptoms and signs. They are highly infectious to healthy plants of their species and most likely to others plants belonging to the same family. Rogue them out of the field or garden, burn them to eliminate source of inoculation.
Diseased cassava (Manihot utilissima)
Cucumber (Cucumis sativus). Virus infective to members of
Family Cucurbitae, like squash, ampal;aya and melon
Lettuce (Lactuca sativa), mosaic virus likely infectivous to other cucurbits
Squash (Cucurbita maxima) infective with the same mosaic virus of cucurbits.
Tobacco infected with the classical Marmor tabaci virus, which can survive flue-curing, redrying and cigar- and cigarette manufacture, remaining dormant for as long as twenty years, then resurrect in living host plants.which belong to Family Solanaceae to which potato, tomato, eggplant and pepper belong.


DevNotes: With the changes to Arsenal / Gunnery, we wanted to bring the Discipline down to its target DPS. We also wanted to make heat / energy cell management a little more challenging for the Arsenal / Gunnery player, so we slightly increased the cost of Blazing Bolts / Boltstorm while reducing the damage it deals.
Another goal we had for Arsenal / Gunnery was to tone down its burst damage potential a bit, so we reduced the critical damage bonus granted by Target Tracking / Deadly Cannon to shrink the size of those big Heatseeker Missile / Demolition Round and Rail Shot / High Impact Bolt critical hits.
Finally, we felt that Decoy needed a significant reduction in power, so we reduced the number of charges it provides from 5 down to 2.

"The State of the Nation's Health"

The U.S. spends more on health care than any other nation. Does that money buy what it should? Not according to Dartmouth research on regional variations in spending and outcomes. But policy-makers are now paying attention to the DMS work—and therein may lie a solution to the money-medicine puzzle.
"The Other Side of the Stethoscope"

Physicians, for all their knowledge about health, sometimes fall prey to serious illness and injury—and find themselves on the receiving end of the stethoscope. Or individuals with experience as a patient sometimes decide to enter medicine—and become the person wielding the stethoscope. In either case, their patients often benefit.

It's distressing for a woman to learn that she has breast cancer, even if it is caught early. First comes the shock of the diagnosis. Then comes the realization, if she has early-stage cancer, that she has to choose between two treatments with similar long-term survival: a total mastectomy or breast-conserving surgery followed by radiation therapy. For women who live in rural areas, that decision is complicated by the inconvenience, cost, and, in some cases, impossibility of a long, daily commute to a radiation treatment facility. Then add wintry weather to the mix, and the decision can be downright devastating.
Basis: This quandary was the basis for a research project led by Maria Celaya, the assistant director of operations at the New Hampshire State Cancer Registry (NHSCR), based in the Department of Community and Family Medicine at Dartmouth. The project was influenced by similar research done by E. Robert Greenberg, M.D., Celaya's mentor and former director of both the NHSCR and Dartmouth's Norris Cotton Cancer Center, regarding lung cancer treatment decisions. "I was doing the M.P.H. program at [the University of New Hampshire], and Dr. Greenberg had suggested that I focus on earlystage breast cancer," Celaya explains.
She based her study on data collected by the NHSCR, which maintains a database documenting cancer incidence in the state. Celaya, Greenberg, and others— including the registry's director, Judy Rees, M.P.H., and manager, Bruce Riddle—identified 2,795 women diagnosed from 1998 to 2001 with stage I or II breast cancer, then examined their places of residence, dates of diagnosis, and treatment choices. The team also identified all facilities that provide radiation treatment in New Hampshire and

Rees, left, and Celaya found that snow may be scenic, but it can also affect cancer-care choices.
surrounding states. "Then Bruce [Riddle] calculated the straight-line distance between the nearest radiation facility and the residence of the patient," explains Rees.
They found that the farther women lived from a radiation facility, the less likely they were to choose breast-conserving surgery. In addition, says Rees, among those who chose the breast-conserving surgery, follow-up "radiation was less likely to be used by women 20 miles or more away from the radiation treatment facility . . . who were diagnosed during the winter." That, the authors noted in their paper, could put women "at increased risk of recurrence and lower survival."
Cold: The findings, published in Cancer Causes and Control, were disturbing but not surprising to Celaya, who "was expecting that New Hampshire's unique characteristics of a large rural population and cold winters would affect treatment choices for women."
She and her colleagues hope that their work will influence the planning of future cancer treatment centers. "There's been growing recognition that people do not have equal access to health care for a variety of reasons," observes Riddle. "As people try to rationalize health-care allocations . . . this is something that needs to be addressed."

Analysis: NSA Utah Data Center would be world's biggest iPod
Josh Peterson Tech Editor
April 21, 2013 2:12 AM ET
The NSA has recently denied that a data center being constructed in the Utah desert will be used to monitor citizen's private emails, but the denial comes after years of speculation and whistle-blower testimonies.
In order to understand the magnitude of the Utah Data Center, The Daily Caller has come up with several useful and manageable comparisons.
Officially known as the Community Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative Data Center, the Utah Data Center was first unveiled in July 2009 by a report by The Salt Lake Tribune.
Plans for a data center in San Antonio were also announced by the agency in 2007. Although the exact size of the San Antonio facility is unknown, it took the place of a 470,000 square foot former Sony microchip plant, reported DataCenterKnowledge.
President Obama's Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative calls for "upgraded infrastructure" and "increased bandwidth" as part of enhancing the nation's cybersecurity capabilities. Yet, the San Antonio data center is only one part of the agency's capacity.
Author James Bamford wrote for Wired in 2012 that the Utah Data Center "will be the centerpiece of the NSA's cloud-based data strategy and essential in its plans for decrypting previously uncrackable documents."
Construction of the $1.2 billion project in Utah is expected to be completed in September, according to an April 15 Reuters report.
By comparison, NASA's budget for Fiscal Year 2013, according to OMB estimates, was approximately $17.7 billion. The agency's mission for the Mars Science Laboratory rover Curiosity cost taxpayers $2.5 billion.
A January 2011 news release by the NSA announced that the 1 million square-foot facility — located at Camp Williams, near Bluffdale, Utah — "is the largest U.S. Department of Defense project in the nation."
By comparison, Apple's data center currently under construction in Prineville, Oregon is comprised of two buildings, each 338,000 square feet. Facebook's own data center in Prineville is planned to be three facilities 300,000 square feet each when fully completed.
Still, the NSA facility is dwarfed by some other structures in the U.S. For example, The Mall of America – which is approximately 4.2 million square feet in size — could fit four NSA Utah Data Centers inside.
In terms of storage capacity, the data center might be better thought of as "the world's largest iPod."
CNET estimated in 2009 that the facility could store a yottabyte of information.
A yottabyte roughly converts to one quadrillion gigabytes, or 200 quadrillion 5MB mp3 files of Carly Rae Jepsen's Call Me Maybe, which would take over 1 trillion years to listen to consecutively. By comparison, the universe is an estimated 13.7 billion years old.
Fox News, however, recently made a more conservative estimate of 5 zettabytes, which is — according to Wolfram|Alpha — roughly 400 times the estimated information content of all human knowledge.
The DoD's interest in yottabyte capacity, Bamford noted in his Wired piece, stems from the projected growth of global Internet traffic.
"It needs that capacity because, according to a recent report by Cisco, global Internet traffic will quadruple from 2010 to 2015, reaching 966 exabytes per year," reported Bamford, stating that a million exabytes equals a yottabyte.
The NSA is the U.S. government's cryptological intelligence agency charged with intercepting and analyzing foreign communications and foreign signals intelligence. The agency, which is part of the Defense Department, also protects U.S. government communications and information systems.
The size of the Utah data center, coupled with the secrecy and the surveillance capabilities of the agency, has terrified civil liberties advocates and former NSA employees.
Former NSA employee William Binney has alleged that the U.S. is not far from a "turnkey totalitarian state," and is one of several former employees who have provided sworn testimony in a lawsuit — Jewel v NSA — against the agency.
The agency has, however, denied that it will use the data center to conduct illegal surveillance of Americans.

Distance: 5.2 km or more if you explore more trails.
Sometimes a good stroll through the foothills in the summer is like electroshock therapy. All your childhood trauma is magically wiped away, along with most of your personality:) This place left me smiling content as I left the parking lot to cruise Plumbers road somewhere between Highway 22x and Millarville.
few years this small park preserves what the foothills of Alberta are all about: Peacefulness and tranquillity as you gaze west through the rolling ranges to the shining mountains. Imagining what lies beyond. This place has a view of the front ranges like no other as it is much further east than K-Country.
rose, lupine and paintbrush adorn the ridge crest. Varied Thrush's buzz in the White Spruce stands while the celestial quality of Swainson's Thrushes creates an ethereal tranquility in these forests. Barb wire fences and ranches remind one of where the good life is.
My route followed the Wildrose trail to the Lookout at Eagle View where the view west over rangelands and the foothills is humbling. The foothills of Carey Ridge, Pine Ridge, Gleason Ridge and Mesa Butte are all before you with the peaks of the Sheep, Threepoint and the Elbow above. From this viewpoint the name Mesa Butte finally seems fitting as its profile looks like a flat toped Mesa from the South West, but green of course. Highway 762 peaks through below miners ridge in the foreground.
What a superb addition to our Parks system. Here's to Brown and Lowery who donated their land for it knowing how special this place is.


Last week we ran the "Clean Up Company Data" from utilities and have now noticed that there is a YTD Adjustment on each employee on 31/12/18. The adjustment is equal to their gross pay for the period January to June 2018. This amount has been added to the YTD figure in the YTD column on their payslip. Is there any way this can be fixed without restoring our backup? Thank you.
Hi Linda. Thank you for your reply. The date we actually used for the cleanup was 30/06/17, therefore I am unsure why there would be any changes as at 31/12/18. We have used the same process 3 years ago without any issues.
Ok - well agree that doesnt make much sense? are all the pay entries from 1 July to 31 Dec still in there - or just the YTD adjustment?
Interesting to note that there is now another post within this forum for somebody who is stating that the YTD figures re-set to zero during December.
I did see that post John... hasn't happened to my client files that I am aware of? - could it be as simple as the wrong Tax or financial year setting in Company Information?

Georgia vs. LSU Live Stream: How to Watch, TV Channel, Start Time
Derick E. Hingle-USA TODAY Sports
It's a matchup you can't help but think about through much of the college football season. Who will play in and win the SEC Championship Game? This year Georgia will face LSU in Atlanta with the winner headed to the College Football Playoff. Everything is on the line.
When: Saturday, Dec. 7
TV: CBS
Something's gotta give. The Bulldogs (11-1) led the SEC in total defense, scoring defense, rushing defense and pass efficiency defense. However, LSU (12-0) is an entirely different animal, especially with Heisman front-runner Joe Burrow at quarterback. The Tigers lead the SEC in total offense and scoring offense, and Burrow has set the league's single-season passing yardage record.
Plenty of attention has been placed on the health of Georgia running back D'Andre Swift for the big game. Swift left last Saturday's game with a left shoulder injury in the third quarter and didn't return. While Georgia head coach Kirby Smart said after the game that Swift should be fine for the championship game, he said on Monday that the team was "hopeful" he'd be able to play. The team's leading receiver in yardage and touchdowns, George Pickens, will miss the first half of the SEC Championship game after being ejected in the third quarter of the Georgia Tech matchup last weekend for throwing punches.
Having time to finally break down Georgia with his coaches, LSU head coach Ed Orgeron said on Monday that he's thoroughly impressed with the Bulldogs on both sides of the ball, believing it is the best offensive and defensive lines the Tigers have seen all year. Orgeron made it clear he's aware that Georgia quarterback Jake Fromm has completed less than 50 percent of his passes in the last four games, but isn't reading too much into that stat.
The last time LSU was in the championship game came in 2011 in a 42-11 win over Georgia. The Bulldogs have been in the game the last three seasons and won the championship in 2017 vs. Auburn.

We are getting plenty of rain now this fall.
Be careful when handling hot peppers, especially the small red habenero – it is best to use gloves.
Winter squashes that we grow are Acorn, Delicata, Sweet Dumpling, and Butternut – you will get several of each over the course of the next few weeks. These store for 1-3 months and grow sweeter as they cure.
We brought in a very nice crop of honey last evening which is now stored in its comb. We spin this in the late winter for next year's use.
Dill is the crop of the week and is great with potatoes or in the pickling of almost anything.
Our crop boxes are heavy and are showing their age – place one hand beneath if transporting them.
Apples, cabbage, and kohlrabi next week!.
This Friday is our 2nd, and final, work opportunity on the farm – let us know if you would like to join us for part of the day.
Mark your calendars for our annual fall farm gathering Saturday, October 27th any time between 2 and 8: food and drink, hayrides, pumpkin picking, horse rides, lawn games, campfire, and crafts! Meet your farmers and see your CSA farm!!
and other treats such as honey and apples.
The price is $150 and can be ordered online through our website: earthdancefarm.net/csa-registration. You can pay online or send a check to the farm. We also offer the option for you to order any of the 3 boxes for $50 each if you do not want all 3. Please use the Miscellaneous option to pay online for this.
I hope you are enjoying all of our produce as we turn the corner from summer into fall. I am always amazed by the bounty and the variety of crops we are able to offer at different times during the growing season. We hope that you can continue to enjoy fresh produce from Earth Dance Farm through the Fall Share season!!
The crop of the week here at Earth Dance Farm is dill. Also know as dill weed, this crop is most popular in Eurasia where both seeds and leaves/stems are used to flavor food. It has been used both in the kitchen and in the medical field for hundreds of years. A few of the health benefits that dill provides include helping to maintain bone health, promote digestion, relieve constipation, and even to prevent insomnia.
Foods that pair well with dill include potatoes, grains, creamy dressings, leafy greens, tomatoes, onions, and beets. Fresh dill is often added to seafood dishes, yogurt sauces, vinegars, potato salads, fresh-baked breads, and soup and it can also be used as a garnish similar to parsley.
Boil the beets in 3 cups of salted water for 20 minutes or until fork-tender. Strain the beets and reserve the liquid. Let the beets cool and then cut them into chunks.
In the same pot, heat oil and saute red onion, celery, carrot and garlic until tender, about 6-8 minutes.
Simmer for about 30 minutes. Add dill and kosher salt and black pepper to taste. For a smooth soup, strain the veggies out or keep them in for a chunkier soup.

Confirmed Guest Speakers
State Senator Kevin de León
Senator Kevin de León was elected to serve the 22nd Senate District in November 2010. The district includes all or parts of the City of Los Angeles, Alhambra, East Los Angeles, Florence-Graham, Maywood, San Marino, South Pasadena, Vernon, and Walnut Park.
After a unanimous vote on June 15th, the California Senate unanimously voted in Senator de León as its next president pro tem. This historic action marks the first time in modern
Senator De León has spent a lifetime fighting to empower working families and the poor—as a community organizer, English as a Second Language and U.S. Citizenship teacher, and an advocate for public schools.
In addition to his focus on improving public schools, De León is committed to improving the air quality in his district, which has some of the country's worst air quality, as well as expanding park space in critically underserved communities.
When he was in the Assembly, De León authored the Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization Act of 2008, establishing a needs-based competitive grants program, managed by the Department of Parks and Recreation, for the distribution of $400 million in Proposition 84 funds for local park assistance and development. That measure allocates the single largest investment in local park space creation in the nation's history and ensures that those funds are targeted to areas with the highest needs.
Senator De Leon is also the author of SB 1086, the Safe Neighborhood Parks, Rivers and Coastal Protection Bond Act of 2014 which will expand funding for local, regional and state parks, as well as, restoration of California waterways and protection of our state's coast and open space.

OKI B432dn Drivers Download and Review - Although practically not a printer-- due to the fact that makes use of LEDs rather than a laser device to attract the image of each page on its drum-- the OKI B432dn ($ 349) makes use of the exact same modern technology otherwise, placing it securely in the monochrome laser device group for all useful reasons. Past that, its strengths include each its own degree of paper dealing with and also its own low operating price. The blend will certainly make it from certain enthusiasm to small offices along with both durable printing demands and a gratitude from how spending only a little bit of less on each imprinted web page can easily add up to significant cost savings in the long run.
Going well with the B432dn's reduced managing expense is paper handling that's suitable for strong printing in a small office. The laser printer comes with a 250-sheet drawer, 100-sheet multipurpose tray, and a duplexer (for two-sided printing) requirement. If you require much more, you may improve the capacity to 880 pieces with an optionally available 530-sheet tray ($ 229).
Going a little bit of past the rudiments, the B432dn includes mobile printing help. If you link to a network with either Ethernet or with the extra Wi-Fi element ($ 75), you can easily publish coming from an iphone or even Android smartphone or tablet computer through attaching through an accessibility point on your network. You may also imprint though the cloud. However, the Wi-Fi possibility performs certainly not support Wi-Fi Direct or even the equivalent, which means that if you connect to a solitary PC through USB cable television rather than to your network, you cannot connect straight with mobile phones.
One other feature worth taking note is actually assistance for PostScript, an ink-jet printer foreign language that the majority of offices may do without, yet some apps call for.
The OKI B432dn weighs 26 pounds 8 ounces and actions 9.6 by 15.2 through 14.3 inches (HWD), making it little and also lightweight sufficient for someone to move in to spot. Configuration is actually common for a monochrome laser device. For my tests, I connected this to a system utilizing its Ethernet slot as well as set up the vehicle driver on a Microsoft window View system.
OKI ranks the laser printer motor at 42 webpages per minute (ppm), which is close to the speed you need to find when imprinting a report that needs to have little bit of to no processing. Nonetheless, the effective velocity may be much slower, depending on how many webpages remain in the print work.

If Roy Moore Isn't Rock Bottom for Republicans, What the Hell Is?
A Moore win in Alabama would signal a level of hypocrisy and hyper-partisanship that bodes poorly for America
By Ed Burmila

Democrats Have Momentum – Here's How They Could Lose It
The Year of Being Completely Overwhelmed by Trump
View all posts by Ed Burmila
Roy Moore at this year's Values Voter Summit in October. Mark Peterson/Redux
When the news that Alabama Senate candidate and longtime conservative raconteur Roy Moore was accused of molesting a 14-year-old girl when he was 32, we braced for the inevitable pushback from those on the right who would defend him. Partisanship is a hell of a drug, one powerful enough to cause at least some supporters to turn a blind eye to carefully reported allegations of child abuse.
They did not disappoint. Led by the same cargo cult of alt-right types who argue it's no big deal that the Trump administration has more ties to Russia than the Bolshoi Ballet, conservatives tripped over themselves blaming the accusers or, unbelievably, arguing that his alleged actions amount to no big deal.
If this isn't rock bottom, pray that a comet hits Earth before we reach it.
Recalling the rabid anti-Russian attitudes held by Republicans throughout the Cold War era, it was a shock to the senses to see so many so-called conservatives excusing Trump's obvious blind spot toward Russian malfeasance. It was hard to digest. If we as Americans could agree on anything, it's that Russians are the Bad Guys. Doesn't anyone remember Rocky IV?
Failing that, we can at least agree that heavily sourced allegations of child molestation are disqualifying for a job in the United States Senate. Or so it seemed.
Political science has produced evidence since as early as the 1940s suggesting that partisanship is a powerful, stable force in an individual's political beliefs. We can overlook or excuse a lot of flaws in candidates who share our party label. Individual factors still matter, though. Certain people are unpleasant enough – in their ideas, behavior or personality – to preclude our support, even if they're on the "right" team.
Given what we know about the power of partisanship, we should not be entirely surprised that the most hardcore Republicans among Moore supporters have stood by him. On the other hand, he is alleged to have molested a 14-year-old (an allegation Moore has repeatedly denied). If this isn't beyond the pale, nothing is.
The 200 Greatest Singers of All Time
The 100 Best Albums of 2022
That said, some reporting about reactions to Moore ignores possible cracks in his base of support in the rush to depict Alabamians as cretins. Weekend polls showed Democratic challenger Doug Jones slightly ahead. These handful of polls do not necessarily predict the election outcome, but it is not insignificant that at least some Moore supporters are entertaining the idea of abandoning him.
Not all supporters will abandon him, nor would we expect them to. In a deep-red state like Alabama, though, Republicans in a statewide race should be polling near 60 percent without breaking a sweat. The mere fact that a race that should be a GOP blowout is competitive, even if temporarily, is a bad sign for Moore.
Additionally, many prominent Republicans outside of the state have condemned Moore, albeit all too often with the caveat "if true" – permitting the wiggle room to declare his accusers frauds and support Moore anyway. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is urging Moore unambiguously to step aside; the party could, after all, lose the Senate if Alabama does not remain firmly in GOP hands.
That raises a question – the kind of moral question we ask of our political system only when we are eager to be deeply disappointed by the answer: Is the Republican Party willing to protect and support an accused child abuser in order to keep a bare majority in the Senate?
Partisanship is the strongest force in political behavior, and while some Alabama voters and Senate Republicans are soft on Moore today – because, as I cannot emphasize enough, he has been accused in a reputable publication of molesting a child – they have plenty of time to talk themselves into holding their nose and supporting him when the election rolls around.
Polling throughout the 2016 presidential election offers precedent for this. Libertarian Gary Johnson, the next best choice for many a disaffected conservative, routinely polled between five and ten percent in many surveys. When the votes were counted, the Libertarian ticket barely cracked three percent. Were people who supported Johnson in the polls lying?
Probably not. They truly may have disliked Trump enough to vote for a third party. But when the time came, habit and partisanship overcame many of them. They may not have felt great about it, but they held their noses and picked the candidate with the (R) next to his name, just like always.
Moore ultimately could benefit from the same dynamic. Some Republicans who are disgusted with him at the moment might convince themselves that Democrats are worse than accused child abusers (an argument already being advanced on Twitter with a straight face by a man who wrote a book entitled The Politics of Bad Faith) and give Moore their vote.
Will Republicans Send an Accused Child Molester to the Senate?
If that happens, we will have reached a level of hypocrisy and hyper-partisanship that bodes very poorly for the ability of this system to function moving forward. Remember how the right frothed at the mouth over Anthony Weiner's sexual contact with an underage girl? Remember how conservative Evangelicals mobilized to keep transgender people out of bathrooms to "protect our daughters"? Remember how it took Milo Yiannopoulos' comments about pedophilia for the alt-right to turn on him?
It is bad enough that we have had to spend ten months engaging in morally relativistic discussions about treason and foreign interference in our elections. "Is a little Russian meddling really so bad?" is not a question asked in sane or healthy political discourse. Now we will end the year with the right forcing a national conversation about whether a 32-year-old man allegedly molesting a 14-year-old girl after picking her up from outside a child custody hearing is disqualifying for service in the Senate.
If this is not rock bottom, then "rock bottom" is no longer a useful concept. The epitaph for our experiment with representative democracy will be a nation asking the people of Alabama, in the words of Joseph Welch during the Army-McCarthy fiasco of 1954, "Have you no decency? At long last, have you no decency?"
Given some of the things some Alabamians have endorsed throughout American history, we may not want to hear the answer to that.

TRRC: Wife links cause of husband's death to concoction
EYEAFRICA TV: Banjul, The Gambia: A woman who testified before the Truth, Reconciliation and Reparations Commission –TRRC- has linked the dead of her husband –Lamin Sonko- to the concoction that the witch-doctors forced him to drink.
Amie Njie told the truth-seeking Commission at its Monday public hearing on former President Yahya Jammeh's 2009 witch-hunting exercise in North Bank Region community of Barra that it was the concoction given to her husband alongside the inhumane treatment meted out on him by Mr Jammeh's witch- doctors that led to his dead.
The mother of four said her husband was abducted by witch-hunters in their compound when he came back for lunch. "My husband returned home for lunch from his work as watchman when people dressed in red attires and military clothes entered the compound and requested to see the household head. My husband came out and said I am here and they said yes, is you we want," she said.
Mrs Njie said the witch-hunters went behind the compound with their mirrors and were inspecting the place, saying her husband was taken into a white bus which was packed at the village square where the green boys were drumming.
Mrs Njie, who described his husband as a simple and easy-going man, said she was scared when he was taken by the witch hunters. She Mr Sonko was taken to Baba Jobe's compound and when she went to visit him, she was told that she cannot see him.
The woman claimed that her husband spent five days in the hands of the witch-doctors and when he returned, there were injuries on both his knees and he was injected on his waist.
Counsel Mariama Singateh
The exiled ex-president used to mix herbs to produce the substance which he forcefully administered on people he suspected as either witches or wizards in different communities across the country in 2009.
"When the injuries began to disturb him, we took him to the hospital in the morning where he was given medication but he did not go to work for two weeks," she stated, and added, "He came with sickness and that sickness was with him until the day he died."
She alleged that his husband fell on the tiles after drinking the medicine as a result, he sustained injuries. "When he started screaming, they injected him on the waist which got swollen."
She said her husband was taken to the clinic where he was given medication and he was taken home but his condition got worst. "We went back to the clinic where they wrote a referral for us to take him to Banjul. So, when we went to Banjul, before night he passed away."
The businesswoman said her husband was a healthy man prior to the abduction except for his poor vision which he was born with. She stated that her husband died one year after drinking the concoction.
"Apart from God, I could say that the witch- hunters are responsible for the death of my husband because prior to his abduction, he was not having any complications."
She said the death of her husband has caused a negative impact on her life and that of the family because she had to assume responsible for the family's sustenance. "The eldest one wanted to further his education but he cannot and the younger one too was in grade 8 but he had to drop out of school."

Q: Couchbase data modelling - Document oriented This question is not necessarily Couchbase 2.0 develop preview specific however I think it may help people with investigation into the new Couchbase product.
I am looking for advice on data modelling. We are investigating Couchbase with a view to possibly using it for Realtime Analytics.
However I cannot find any documentation on how best to model real world data.
I shall propose a scenario and if the community could help me or discuss some ideas for how this could be modelled it would be very useful?
Note this is not representative of our product and I am not asking people to solve our modelling for us the question is more intended for discussion
Lets assume that customers make purchases of products at a particular date/time, products have information with them such as id, name, description and price, a purchase is performed on a date.
The initial requirement is to be able to count all purchases between two dates. For any 1 day there might be over 100,000 purchases - this is a pretty big business ;)
If any of the syntax is incorrect please let me know - all advice/help is welcome.
If we modelled the data something like so (which maybe completely incorrect):
Purchases with products
{
    "_id" : "purchase_1",
    "_rev" : "1-1212afdd126126128ae",
    "products" :  [
        "prod_1" : {
            "name" : "Milk",
            "desc" : "Semi-skimmed 1ltr",
            "price" : "0.89"
        },
        "prod_7568" : {
            "name" : "Crisps",
            "desc" : "Salt and Vinegar",
            "price: "0.85"
        }
    ]
    "date" : "2012-01-14 14:24:33"
}

{
    "_id" : "purchase_2",
    "_rev" : "1-1212afdd126126128ae",
    "products" :  [
        "prod_89001" : {
            "name" : "Bread",
            "desc" : "White thick sliced",
            "price: "1.20"
        }
    ]
    "date" : "2012-01-14 15:35:59"
}

So given that document layout we can see each purchase and we can see the products that were in that purchase - however how could we go about counting all the purchases between two dates? Also how could you see a log of all the purchases between two dates in date descending order?
Is this something Couchbase is suited for?
There might be hundreds of thousands of purchases between two dates and the customer doesn't like to wait for reports….as I'm sure everyone has experienced ;)
Would it be best to use the incr functions and if so how would you go about modelling the data?
Many thanks to anyone that reads this - I hope to expland on this further giving more examples of real world modelling problems if possible.

A: In the simplest case you could write a Map function that would create a view using the date field as a key.
So with a slightly modified document design:
{
   "_id": "purchase_1",
   "_rev": "2-c09e24efaffd446c6ee8ed6a6e2b4a22",
   "products": [
       {
           "id": "prod_3",
           "name": "Bread",
           "desc": "Whole wheat high fiber",
           "price": 2.99
       }
   ],
   "date": "2012-01-15 12:34:56"
}

{
   "_id": "purchase_2",
   "_rev": "2-3a7f4e4e5907d2163d6684f97c45a715",
   "products": [
       {
           "id": "prod_1",
           "name": "Milk",
           "desc": "Semi-skimmed 1ltr",
           "price": 0.89
       },
       {
           "id": "prod_7568",
           "name": "Crisps",
           "desc": "Salt and Vinegar",
           "price": 0.85
       }
   ],
   "date": "2012-01-14 14:24:33"
}

Your map function would look like:
function(doc) {
  for (var product in doc.products) {
    emit(doc.date, doc.products[product].price);
  }
}

You could optionally add a reduce function that would sum up purchases by date.
function(keys, values) {
    return sum(values);
}

You could then query the view using the startkey and endkey parameters.
http://localhost:5984/couchbase/_design/Products/_view/total_price_by_date?startkey="2012-01-01"&endkey="2012-01-31"&group=true

The output from querying the view would be:
{"rows":[
{"key":"2012-01-14 14:24:33","value":4.94},
{"key":"2012-01-15 12:34:56","value":2.99}
]}

Or remove the group parameter to get the sum for the entire date range:
{"rows":[
{"key":null,"value":7.930000000000001}
]}

Hope that helps.
