In a house boat in Holland's capital city of Amsterdam, there is a Dutchman whose ability to control his bodily functions with his mind has reformed what scientists have long believed was possible. He insists everyone has this ability–even those with debilitating diseases.
Auto-immune disorders, multiple sclerosis, Crohn's disease or arthritis can easily take control of one's life, making any sort of physical activity challenging. Even something as simple as being on your feet for prolonged periods can easily result in pain. So climbing a mountain must certainly be out of reach for people with these conditions, right?
Wim Hof, who believes that he is not an exception and anyone can do what he can, led a group of eighteen people without any previous mountaineering experience to the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro in January. The oldest was sixty-five, and some of them had conditions such as asthma, Crohn's, and rheumatoid arthritis. After only four days of training his climbers, the goal was to reach the nearly 20,000-foot summit in three days, wearing nothing but shorts and shoes. The Marangu route traditionally takes 5 or 6 days– they got there in two.
During the four days of preparation, Hof's trekkers practiced primarily two things–extreme breathing techniques and cold water immersion.
"Iceman" as he is known to many, currently holds twenty world records, including the longest time spent in an ice bath, at one hour and 44 minutes. The feat was all the more amazing because his core body temperature did not change. He broke his own record twice, adding a cool 41 minutes to his previous time. The 56-year-old has also climbed mount Everest in his shorts, and completed marathons in both arctic temperatures (4°F / -15 °C ) in Finland, and scorching heat (104 °F / 40 °C) in Namibia.
It all started for him as a troubled seventeen-year-old, when Wim was "attracted'' to jump into a pond of freezing cold water, and in it he experienced an "awakening". As a result, he began to develop a method of physiological control, which allowed him to accomplish seemingly superhuman feats involving the cold. Part of his method uses a forced breathing technique practiced in Tibetan yoga called tummo, or "inner fire", that has been shown to increase body temperature.
In research done by Radboud University in the Netherlands in 2012, Hof trained a group of 12 volunteers to show that they could modulate their immune system, after already demonstrating the ability to do it himself. They documented his skill to not only control his immune system at will, but also the endocrine (hormonal) system, and autonomic nervous systems. Put simply, using his breathing techniques, The Iceman in a laboratory setting was capable of consciously influencing his immune system, even circumventing disease using the power of his mind–something scientists thought to be impossible.
The father of four decided to bring his method to the public after his wife's tragic 1995 death by suicide following her battle with depression. His mission became clear. With the help of his son Enahm, Wim began to get his message out, promising control over happiness, strength, and health, to any who practice his techniques.
Particularly for people suffering with depression, Wim offers a "very simple" way that he believes can fix chemical imbalances by manually altering serotonin and melatonin hormone levels.
A new group of believers will be tackling Kilimanjaro again in January of 2016–a trek that normally leaves more than half of climbers with acute mountain sickness due to extreme elevation levels. His goal is to prove once again, that the human mind, body, and spirit, are capable of truly remarkable things, even while wearing nothing but shorts.

It's hard to believe we are already almost at the end of October and Halloween is just around the corner! The kids have been talking about Halloween pretty much since last year. The costumes they will wear, the trick or treating they will do and the candy they will eat collect. I have always loved Halloween and with three kids, we like to keep it simple, with a little help.
Hasbro has some ghoulishly fun ideas for Halloween this year from tricks to treats and everything in between.
If you are planning a Halloween party or your kids are going to one, instead of handing out candy bags try treats without the sweets from Play Doh! Themed for Halloween, Play Doh bags have you covered with 15 individual mini Play Doh containers for your little goblins. My son is excited to hand these out at school during their class Halloween bash, I'm sure his teacher will appreciate the sugarless fun!
More fun ideas are the My Little Pony bling bags, Kre-O Transformers Micro Changers or My Little Pony Micro Figures etc which are little themed surprised bags with a miniature toy inside for your party goers. My daughter likes collecting the My Little Pony Bling bags which come with a sparkly MLP figure inside.
Does your little one love dressing up as a super hero? Hasbro has you covered with great Marvel Super Hero masks! You can dress it up for Halloween with your own DIY super hero costume, wear them to a themed party or add them to the collection for everyday imaginative play! My son has been collecting these masks for a while now and loves to role play pretending he is one of his favourite super heroes!
If you need accessories to go with those masks, Hasbro has that too with a great selection of Marvel and Star Wars accessories to complete your little ones super hero look! My son currently has the Spider-Man and Iron Man accessories, they are a great addition to his collection plus he can use them beyond one spooky night!

De lijst van gevolmachtigd ministers van Sint Maarten geeft een overzicht van de gevolmachtigde ministers van Sint Maarten sinds het verkrijgen van de landstatus op 10 oktober 2010.

Van 15 januari tot 25 juni 2018 was er geen gevolmachtigd minister benoemd. De zaken werden waargenomen door de plaatsvervangend gevolmachtigd minister, Hasani Ellis. In eerste instantie was het de bedoeling dat Cornelius De Weever de gevolmachtigd minister zou worden; omdat er echter voor de andere ministerposten nog niet voldoende personen waren, werd hij minister van Justitie. Van 19 t/m 28 november 2019 werd de post tijdelijk waargenomen door premier Silveria Jacobs.

Q: Converting Access 2000 to Access 365 I am trying to convert Access 2000 32 bit to Access 365 64 bit. I tried holding the shift key of the .mdb application and opened .mdb file in access 2000. I can see all the queries, tables, modules and forms. When I tried to export the modules and forms, the export button is disabled. The export button is only enabled for tables. Below is the screen shot of modules, forms and tables:

for tables, the export is enabled:

I could not figure how to export in office 2000 so I tried to open the Access .mdb file in office 365 by holding the shift key, but here, I opened the access file, but could not even see the save as option so I tried to open the same Access 2000 file in Access 2013. I tried to open the .mdb file by holding the shift key and it opened the database showing all the forms, tables and modules. I created an empty database and tried to import forms, modules and tables in this empty database. I successfully imported the tables, but I could not import the forms and modules. The forms and modules tab was disabled just like office 2000. Below are the screen shots of modules and forms that is disabled.

Below is the screen shot of tables that is highlighted.

I then tried to save the .mdb file to save as .accdb format by trying the save as option, but when I tried the save as option, I go an error. Below is the screen shot of the error:

I have been trying to convert this .mdb database to access 365 for past two days and I cannot go beyond importing the tables. I want everything to be imported to access 365. Any help will be highly appreciated.
Please let me know if anyone needs any additional information.

A: It looks like you have a replication design master.
You may have to remove the replication before conversion, as this is not supported from Access 2007 and onwards.
There is a tool by Michael Kaplan for this:

Cost of Motoring
Back to top Previous debate
The Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice
(Chris Grayling)
I am today announcing the publication of the Government's response to their consultation "Reducing the number and costs of whiplash claims", which closed on 8 March 2013, alongside further measures this Government are taking in order to help drive down the costs of motoring and put money back in the pocket of the driver.
The publication also provides our response to the House of Commons Transport Committee's "Cost of motor insurance: whiplash" report and recommendations, published on 31 July 2013. I am grateful to the Committee for their valuable and thoughtful findings, which we have taken into account.
For too long honest drivers have been bearing the cost—through higher insurance premiums—of fraudulent and exaggerated whiplash claims. The Association of British Insurers indicates that 7% of all motor claims were fraudulent, and that dishonest personal motor insurance frauds worth £441 million were detected by the industry in 2011. The Government want to tackle that abuse to help drive down the cost of living and deliver a system that hard-working, law-abiding people can have confidence in.
The reforms I announce today form part of a series of changes to the justice system introduced by the Ministry of Justice, such as the reform of "no win, no fee" arrangements and a ban on referral fees paid between lawyers, insurers, claims firms, garages and others, which are removing incentives for excessive litigation and tackling the culture of claims. New figures from the Ministry of Justice's claims management regulation unit also published today, show that the number of claims firms in the personal injury market has gone down by more than 1,000 following the law changes, from a peak of 2,553 in December 2011 to 1,485 last month.
We now propose to implement our consultation proposal to introduce an independent medical panel scheme, to establish a new and more robust system of medical reporting and scrutiny of whiplash claims. These measures received a good degree of support from those who responded to the consultation. Our reforms will mean that exaggerated and fraudulent whiplash claims are deterred and challenged while the genuinely injured, backed up by good-quality medical evidence, get the help and compensation they deserve.
We are currently working on the detail of the independent medical panel scheme. We will have further discussions with all sides, including insurers and claimant representatives, and within Government, before we bring forward our final proposals. I am grateful to representatives from all sides of the industry for their constructive proposals in this area, which we are considering. I am clear that the final scheme will need to be not only effective but proportionate and sustainable, with any costs not falling on the public purse.
We also want to work with all sides to tackle those practices which can contribute to the inflated number of whiplash claims. For example, we want insurers to end the practice of making offers to settle claims without requiring medical evidence. We also want insurers to share more of their data on suspected fraudulent or exaggerated claims with claimant lawyers, and we want claimant lawyers to carry out more effective checks on their potential clients before taking on claims.
On the consultation option to increase the small claims track threshold for personal injury claims, the Government have carefully considered all responses. We believe that there are good arguments for increasing this threshold to £5,000 for all road traffic accidents to raise incentives to challenge fraudulent or exaggerated insurance claims. At the same time, we have listened to the views of the Transport Committee and others that now may not be the right time to raise the small claims limit because of the risks that it may deter access to justice for the genuinely injured and encourage the growth of those disreputable claims firms which so damage the industry. At this stage, we have decided to defer any increase to the small claims threshold until we can determine the impact of our wider reforms on motor insurance premiums and better safeguard against the risks identified above. We believe that this is the right thing to do for all interests.
Our consultation also generated a number of further proposals to reduce fraudulent and exaggerated whiplash claims which we are currently considering.
The reforms I am announcing today and those which we have already made to the civil justice system should contribute to lower motor insurance premiums. Indeed we are already seeing these beginning to fall. Figures published by the AA's British insurance premium index today show that quoted shop-around premiums have reduced by 12% over the previous year.
The Government expect the insurance companies to act on the commitment they made at the Prime Minister's summit in February 2012 to pass on to consumers and businesses industry estimated savings of approximately £1.5 billion to £2 billion that could come from the reforms on both legal fees and future changes on whiplash claims.
I believe that taken together the measures I set out today will provide an effective response to support hard-working motorists and families, deterring fraudulent and exaggerated whiplash claims and helping to reduce the cost to premiums of dealing with such claims.
In addition to these reforms and in order to help further the hard-working people of this country we have decided to launch a range of measures to help drive down the costs of owning and running a car.
The fee charged for the MOT test for a car is £54.85, and has been frozen at that price since 2010. I can inform the House that the Government will freeze the price for an MOT test for the rest of this Parliament. While competition in many areas introduces discounts to this fee, some 12 million drivers are estimated to pay this fee in full. This announcement will save them from a price rise that would cost them around £50 million a year.
This Government are also determined to help the motorist at the pump. I can announce today that the Government will launch a trial of motorway signs that will display the cost of fuel along the route, helping the driver make the informed choice about where to fill up, and importantly, boosting competition along British motorways.
Finally, the Government want to make it cheaper for those who want to drive for the first time. The Department for Transport will launch a review of the fees charged to obtain driving licences and the fees for taking a test.
Copies of the Government response to the consultation and to the Transport Committee report are available in the Vote Office and the Printed Paper Office. The document is also available online at http://www.justice.gov.uk.

Internal Audit Clears Coach in UH Soccer Rhabdo Case
University of Houston women's soccer coach Diego Bocanegra and school officials "acted appropriately" and followed policy in response to several players being hospitalized in January, according to findings of an internal audit released Thursday, as reported by the Houston Chronicle.
However, the report, conducted by Audit and Compliance Committee of the University of Houston System Board of Regents, concluded former assistant strength coach Minor Bowens "ignored guidelines" that prevent rhabdomyolysis, or rhabdo, a damaging of muscle tissue caused by extensive physical exertion. Bowens was fired in February, following a soccer team workout in January that led to the hospitalization of several student-athletes. In addition, one soccer player was diagnosed with rhabdo following a workout in February 2018.
"We concluded that the former assistant strength coach ignored guidelines that help prevent rhabdo; the head women's soccer coach acted appropriately; athletic department management acted appropriately; and that university management acted appropriately by following its policies," the audit read.
The school added that "athletic department management is in the process of enhancing its policies and procedures addressing student-athlete health and safety."

Northeast U.S. wears t-shirts, sweats on record-breaking Christmas Eve
By Metro Posted on December 25, 2015
New Yorker Tyler Hickey usually spends Christmas Eve snowboarding on the nearest mountain. This year, he's in a T-shirt and jeans while traversing Manhattan's Bryant Park ice skating rink, which is melting into patchy puddles in record high temperatures.
"Last year, it was snowing like every day," Hickey, 22, said as he caught his breath with friend Raj Latcha, 27, at the edge of the popular rink.
"The weather now is like summer," Latcha said as young women in crop tops and men in shorts skated by to the tune of "O Come All Ye Faithful" played in smooth jazz on big overhead speakers.
The two were among many in the city enjoying the very un-winter-like weather as New York City smashed its record for the warmest Christmas Eve. The forecast for the coming days has melted any hopes for a snowy Christmas and New Year.
RELATED: Rare Christmas fullmoon, first in 38 years, rises tonight
Temperatures hit the low-70s by midday, easily topping the previous record of 63 degrees in 1996, according to the National Weather Service.
"It looks like it will be warmest December on record," NWS meteorologist Carlie Buccola said.
The typical temperature in New York City for this time of year is 41 degrees and the average first measurable snowfall is on Dec. 9.
The continued warm weather expected in the next week has delighted residents like Tony Batista, 59. "It's like paradise," said Batista, who wore a Kobe Bryant NBA jersey and shorts to take in the city's holiday activities outdoors.
But people like Tegan Jones, a 25-year-old Australian tourist exploring Central Park with friends, had broken Christmas dreams.
RELATED: Wet and windy weather ahead for holiday weekend
"We came to New York for a white Christmas and so far it's pretty warm, about the same temperature as back home," she said while runners went by in shorts.
Jones would take little satisfaction from knowing that the polar jet stream, which separates warm air from the cold, is pushing to the north, according to Buccola. New York is on the warm side of the jet stream, an affect that typically happens during the weather phenomenon known as El Nino.
New York City is not alone as the entire Northeast is getting a blast of heat. From Florida to Maine, high temperatures were setting records and holiday plans were changing course because of it.
At this time last year, Terry Hills golf course near Buffalo, New York, had closed for the season after being buried under a heap of snow. On Thursday, some 115 golfers, dressed in polo shirts and khakis, booked tee times at the course.
RELATED: Record-breaking temperatures ahead for NYC – just in time for Christmas
Rick Davis, who runs the Farm by the River Bed and Breakfast with Stables in North Conway, New Hampshire, counts the holiday season as one of his busiest times for taking patrons on sleigh rides.
Instead of 2 feet of snow, the sleighs will be pulled this holiday season past more than a mile of open fields, mountain views and the Saco River on wheels along dirt paths.
Davis' wife, Charlene Browne, said people were mostly understanding of the no-snow excursion.
"I think people, they have good attitudes most of the time," Browne said. "They're creative, they substitute."
Despite not being Christmas-like, the balmy conditions in the Northeast still was better than the deadly storms, including tornadoes, that hit the South on Wednesday.

E-Commerce Site Delivering U.S.-Made Products To Europe
By Roddie Burris
The State (Columbia, S.C.)
WWR Article Summary (tl;dr) For many small U.S. manufacturers, USA eShop has opened the door to the $183 billion U.S. export market. Since 2013, USA eShop (based in Columbia S.C.) has made American-made products easily available to motivated customers in Europe by cutting through the red tape, customs headaches and expense of shipping abroad.
In the United Kingdom and across Europe, pet lovers can take home delivery of custom-made Cozy Cave Dog Beds and other high-quality U.S. pet items from Snoozer Pet Products in the tiny Upstate town of Piedmont.
European shoppers can also enjoy the comfort and colorful style of functional, fashionable boot socks from South Carolina's JoJoSox, designed by a mother and daughter team in Orangeburg.
And let's not forget the benefits and taste of tea grown on South Carolina's coastal Wadmalaw Island by the Charleston Tea Plantation, also shipped overseas to waiting European customers.
For these small S.C. manufacturers and many others across the country, USA eShop opened the door to the $183 billion U.S. export market. But the U.S. imports more than $220 billion in goods each year, leaving a $37 billion annual trade deficit, according to U.S. Commerce statistics.
Since 2013, USA eShop has made American-made products easily available to motivated customers in Europe by recruiting small manufacturing companies that want to sell abroad, then cutting through the red tape and customs headaches and expenses to quickly get the products there.
Based in Columbia, their website, www.wishboxusa.co.uk, is billed as the only e-commerce shop that exclusively imports and sells American-made goods in Europe from small U.S. manufacturers. USA eShop was named the South Carolina Small Business Administration Exporter of the Year.
"Even though we have representative products from (more than) 30 states, it was very easy and important that we first start with companies from our own backyard, South Carolina," said Jerry Smith, USA eShop founder and president.
After testing the marketplace, often by trial and error, the company "soon found that several S.C. companies had products in great demand in Europe due to (their) quality and innovation."
WishBox currently represents the products of 20 S.C. manufacturers on its website. Nationwide, the e-commerce website represents the products of more than 100 U.S. small manufacturers, many of which had never exported their products before.
Two years ago, Snoozer, which has shown great growth over the past two decades, was not doing any business overseas. It did receive persistent emails and phone calls from would-be customers overseas who wanted to purchase their products.
However, the company, founded in Greenville in 1985, had no effective means of fulfilling those potential orders in any cost-effective way. In two years, Snoozer has exported at least 10 shipping containers of pet products overseas, USA eShop said.
This is how USA eShop works: The company connects with small U.S. manufacturers that produce mostly consumer products. The companies likely are little known, particularly abroad, and have never exported abroad.
With few exceptions, none of the companies have enough orders or customers lined up in Europe to fill even one traditional shipping container. If the small manufacturer attempted to export as a lone wolf, the cost would be prohibitive, according to John Wilkinson, USA eShop chief operating officer.
Economies of scale are necessary to make the shipping cost of freight affordable, even on a large, oceangoing container ship, he said.
Take Snoozer's premium dog beds as an example. Dog beds are bulky by nature and theirs generally cost $100 or more, Wilkinson said. There is a big demand for them in Europe. However, to ship the beds overseas by box would cost more than the beds themselves.
USA eShop solves that problem by combining the freight of several companies into shared containers to fill them up. A dozen companies may have freight stacked in a single container — a pallet of one company's product here, several cases of another's stacked there, and so forth until the container is full.
USA eShop then has a warehouse and fulfillment center set up outside of London, where the U.S.-made products are shipped, cleared through customs and stored. Once the inventory is in stock, local couriers are hired for parcel delivery. European customers go to the website, www.wishboxusa.co.uk, find the American-made products they want, and get delivery to their door the next day, Wilkinson said, roughly for 5 British pounds, or the American equivalent of $7.50 (prior to Friday's Brexit impact on the British currency).
"We're focused exclusively on working with small and medium U.S. manufacturers and helping them open up that export channel, said John Wilkinson, USA eShop chief operating officer. "Customers get it the next day — no hassle."
Smith previously operated an export management company in Irmo, Transcon Trading Co., for two decades, before devising USA eShop. Transcon concentrated mainly on locating distributors for U.

S. products in foreign countries. Under Smith's leadership, Transcon succeeded in opening up 90 distribution channels for U.S. manufacturers to sell their products overseas.
Smith sold that company several years ago. After some time off — Smith being a restless entrepreneur — he noticed that that same gap persisted. Small U.S. manufacturers didn't have a channel through which they could ship their American made products to consumer markets in Europe.
Distributors that were willing to take on the products of a small manufacturing company — even well-made American products, but with little name recognition and little established demand, were hard to find, Wilkinson said.
"As technology evolved and e-commerce became a part of life, (we) realized there was an opportunity to marry up that business model he had previously with the European e-commerce and fulfillment operation," he said.
Wilkinson, a graduate of the University of South Carolina's Darla Moore School of Business with an International MBA, , got connected to Smith through professors and the two began discussing the idea of filling that export gap. "I had to give it a go," Wilkinson said.
Each year South Carolina does about $30 billion in exports, with the United Kingdom and Germany, both members of the European Union until Friday's Brexit referendum passed, being two of its top five trading partners. Like the U.S. at large, South Carolina imports about $39 billion annually. "That's exactly what we want to change," Wilkinson said. "This is our little part."
Exporters say European customers crave American products because they are well-made, and they are willing to pay for them. When they go to the internet to order U.S.-made goods, they find delivery can take weeks in some cases and include the addition of taxes, tariffs and other hidden costs relatively unknown to the general consumer.
"We just totally knock that out and make it a simple e-commerce purchase," Wilkinson said. "Accessibility with the internet, whether you're in the U.K. or Australia, you can see any website in the world. There's obviously some incredible brands here (in the U.S.) and you have the small businesses and small manufacturers.
