Hermès Bags Are Having a Big News Week
And it's something to do with Kardashian and Koons.
By Kerry Pieri
Brand strategists would pay for the kind of allure and near mysticism that surrounds an Hermès Birkin bag. In the profound words of Ashton Kutcher, "I learned what a Birkin bag is from the price tag. You'll never forget what it is once you've paid for one." But it's more than just the cost—the Kelly bag is hardly a steal and yet doesn't enjoy the same pop culture relevance, or the sometimes-wait list for the matter. "The Birkin" has become shorthand for unabashed luxury, over-the-top opulence, wealth and status all rolled up into one classic top-handled leather tote with minimal hardware.
All of which makes it perfect fodder for artists and laymen intent on visually remarking on capitalism and extravagance—or simply proving they can afford to destroy a $20K item. The bag, conceived in 1981 for Jane Birkin after she fortuitously sat next to Hermès' Jean-Louis Dumas on a flight, has been burned by Tyler Shields, painted on by George Condo (a gift from Kanye West to Kim Kardashian), riddled with protest stickers by its namesake and studded and written upon in Chinese lettering by Lady Gaga.
Yesterday, Kardashian-West stepped out with a canvas Hermes bag scribbled upon by her two-year old North West as a gift for her 34th birthday. Apparently, Mr. West has an affection for defacing expensive handbags. Beyond the reality star's much-ballyhooed photo, the charitable Jeff Koons x Birkin auction was held also held. The famed pop artist put his mark on a range of the storied bags, including one once owned by Sofia Coppola, a gift for the auteur from her father on her 20th birthday. It sold at auction for $175,000.
It seems in the right artist's hands, the value of a Birkin can increase exponentially. No word yet on whether North West's Kelly interpretation will be valued as highly.

CHAPTER: ONE WHO IS KILLED IN THE WAY OF ALLAAH WILL HAVE ALL HIS SINS BLOTTED OUT EXCEPF DEBT
It has been narrated on the authority of Abu Qatada that the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) stood up among them (his Companions) to deliver his sermon in which he told them that Jihad in the way of Allaah and belief in Allaah (with all His Attributes) are the most meritorious of acts. A man stood up and said: Messenger of Allaah, do you think that if I am killed in the way of Allaah, my sins will be blotted out from me? The Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Yes, in case you are killed in the way of Allaah and you were patient and sincere and you always fought facing the enemy, never turming your back upon him. Then he added: What have you said (now)? (Wishing to have further assurance from him for his satisfaction), he asked (again): Do you think if I am killed in the way of Allaah, all my sins will be obliterated from me? The Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Yes, it you were patient and sincere and always fought facing the enemy and never turning your back upon him, (all your lapses would be forgiven) except debt. Gabriel has told me this.
The tradition has been narrated through a different chain of transmitters on the authority of Abu Qatada who said: A man came to the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) while he was on the pulpit and said: Do you think if I am killed in the way of Allaah... (except this difference in its beginning, the rest of the tradition is the same as the previous one).
Another version of the tradition differently transmitted begins with the words:" A man came to the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) and he was sitting on the pulpit.... He said: What do you find if I strike with the sword?" (The rest of the tradition is the same as the previous one.)
It has been reported on the authority of 'Amr b. al-'As that the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: All the sins of a Shahid (martyr) are forgiven except debt.
It has been reported on the authority of Amr b. al-'As through a different chain of transmitters that the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Death in the way of Allaah blots out everything except debt.

ASI & GDPR
ASI's Commitment to Data Protection, Privacy, and GDPR Compliance
Since 2013, ASI has devoted significant resources to enhance our products, processes, policies, documentation, training and infrastructure to comply with global requirements, including the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (the "GDPR"), for handling and protecting data and personally identifiable information of our clients and employees.
Outlined below are the key steps that ASI has already taken and will continue to take as part of our commitment to the data protection and privacy of our client's data.
ASI Data Protection Plan
ASI maintains commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security in the iMIS software product and the ASI Hosting and Cloud Services environments. Our Data Protection Plan, first created in 2015, is an integrated, organization-wide approach to managing cybersecurity risk based on the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) cybersecurity framework. A summary of the Data Protection Plan can be found at the link below.
Data Security and Privacy Initiative
ASI's Senior Director of Technology and Information Security leads an active Data Security and Privacy Initiative team, comprising senior management-level representatives from Legal, IT, Human Resources, Cloud Services, Customer Support, Marketing, Consulting Services, and Product Development. The Initiative team meets monthly to monitor regulatory developments, discuss progress, and report status on tasks and workstreams assigned to accountable departments. As part of this Initiative, ASI has achieved compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI-DSS) in ASI's regional data centres around the world, and achieved certified compliance with the European Union-United States Privacy Shield Framework.
Annual Security and Privacy Awareness Training
All ASI employees and contractors are required to participate in annual security and privacy awareness training. The content of this training is updated periodically to address the ever-evolving threat landscape and changing data protection and privacy regulatory requirements around the world.
Data Inventory and Mapping
In 2017, ASI launched its first data mapping exercise to inventory all personal data controlled or processed by ASI. As part of this data inventory and mapping exercise, ASI conducted an information audit of each department to answer the following questions:
What type of data is collected? (Categories of data processed)
Who is collecting or using that data? (Identity of data controller and processor)
When (and for how long) is that data being collected and used? (Data retention period)
Where is that data being collected and used and where does it go? (Storage locations and internal and third-party data transfers)
How is that data being collected and used? (Applications and programs and security measures in place)
Why is it being collected and used? (Purposes of processing)
This data mapping exercise resulted in a corporate data map of all personal data touched by ASI staff and systems and serves as a record of personal data processing activities. It is updated regularly to reflect the realities of current business processes and workflows.
Key Compliance Actions
In conjunction with the information audit and data mapping workstream described above, ASI has undertaken several key compliance actions, including the following:
ensuring that only data strictly necessary for our business purposes is collected and processed;
identifying the legal basis for the processing;
revising privacy policies and notices to make them compliant with the GDPR and other privacy laws;
ensuring that any data processors or sub-processors know their new obligations and responsibilities and that data processing agreements contain appropriate provisions with respect to security, confidentiality and protection of personal data;
deciding how data subjects will be able to grant consent and exercise their individual rights;
determining effective means and methods for honoring data subject access rights; and
verifying that appropriate security measures are in place for incident response and proper data breach notification.
ASI has also reviewed its iMIS application to identify product features that help enable organisations to meet their GDPR obligations as data controller of their constituents' personal data.
Privacy by Design and Privacy Impact Assessments
ASI has adopted a privacy by design approach, using policies and procedures that take privacy principles into account in the initial design stages of a new project or service and throughout the processing lifecycle. In a situation where data processing for a new product or service is likely to result in high risk to individuals, ASI commits to conducting a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) to demonstrate compliance with the GDPR's fundamental principles and mitigate risks to data subjects.
Compliance Documentation.
To demonstrate GDPR compliance, ASI enters into a written data processing agreement with all clients for whom we act as a processor under the GDPR and retains documentation regarding the processing of personal data and our Data Protection Plan (including our data breach incident response plan).

Q: Catch Unhandled exception in mvc4 How can i catch unhandeld exception in mvc4, [without using ELMAH].
I tried Invoking Application_Error ,  it works but logs all error including script not found and path of image not found which is not needed.
Example of error which can be excluded

The controller for path '/Image/*.png' was not found or does not implement IController
The controller for path '/~/Scripts/*.js' was not found or does not implement IController

Code
void Application_Error(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   Exception exc = Server.GetLastError();
   //logging Exception (exc)
 }

A: Create a custom error handler and catch what you want (and log it) and ignore what you don't want.
CustomHandleErrorAttribute
public class CustomHandleErrorAttribute : HandleErrorAttribute
{
    public override void OnException(ExceptionContext filterContext)
    {
        if (!(filterContext.Exception is InvalidOperationException))
        {
            // log
        }
    }
}

FilterConfig
You will need to globally register the error handler.
public class FilterConfig
{
    public static void RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilterCollection filters)
    {
        filters.Add(new HandleErrorAttribute());
        filters.Add(new CustomHandleErrorAttribute());
    }
}

A: these Errors are unhandled exception.i think you can get this error type and ignore it for logging
  protected void Application_Error()
    {

        var ex = Server.GetLastError();

        if(check exceptiontype)
        {}

}

Less production of the red blood cells is termed as anemia. The organic feeds given to the animal help to build vitamin b12 and also iron. These two components are super in preventing anemia. However, you should not use the vitamin b12 for anemia before you have shared the condition with the doctor.
Another type of food is the sardine. These food not only are good for vitamin b12 but also for the fatty acids. Sardine will also give to omega 3 that assists in a healthy heart.

More to that is can prevent depression and also increase the energy levels.


Me: So . . . what would you like to do now?
Carl: I'm open to suggestions. What would you like to do? I see you have a crate full of stuff with you again today.
Me: I think I'd like to show you my photos—we can pick up where we left off last time. That seems like a fun thing to do . . . I wouldn't mind having some light-heartedness in a session for a change!
Carl: Oh, cool! I'd love to see them!
Me: Do you want to come over here to the couch so we can look at them easier?
Carl: No, I'll stay here in my chair and you can hand them across to me.
Carl: What is your relationship like with your siblings?
Me: We get along okay . . . I don't have very in depth conversations with them but we get along fine, at least in a superficial way.
One thing that has always struck me as odd . . . I'm the youngest of four kids . . . there are 16 years between the eldest and me . . . and, yet, for whatever reason, I seem to be the "rock" in the family. I'm the one they all come to when they are in crisis. They look to me for advice. It's just weird.
I think it is mostly because I've been pretty open about my lifestyle . . . about not being committed to following the rules of the church. While I don't talk about my choices very much, they can observe my obvious disregard for church rules.
So, when they are struggling with not fully buying into the teachings of the church and/or the Bible, they look to me for advice because they know I won't judge them for questioning the established dogma.
When my dad died, they were—and, of course, my mom was—in zombie land. I was only 23 at the time, but I laid out a plan of action—a plan for the funeral, a plan for picking out a casket, a plan for notifying friends and family, a plan for places to eat and sleep, a plan for finances, a plan for finishing the construction project Dad was working on when he died . . . no one else seemed capable of figuring out what had to happen and how to make it happen. My siblings were a mess!
I guess that was my way of dealing with his death . . . I got busy and organized things.
Carl: Are you okay with being the rock—the mentor—for your siblings?
Me: Sure . . . I don't see them as a source of wisdom and guidance, so I guess it doesn't take away anything from me to be the mentor of sorts in the relationship. I'm glad I can be of value to them in that way.
Carl: This is the guy to whom you were married for ten weeks before you separated, right?
Me: Yeah . . . I'll have to tell you about that someday.
Carl: How was that relationship for you?
Me: It was actually fun . . . we rode motorcycles together and we had a lot of common interests. It was a fun relationship. And, it was safe for me because he was married.
Carl: So, why did it end?
Me: That's a long story . . . best saved for another day . . .
Carl: Wow. This is a side of you I didn't know about! You have done some really adventurous stuff!
Me: Yeah . . . I've gotten to do some really cool stuff in my life.
Carl: Looking at you sitting here on the couch, I would have never guessed about this side of you!
Me: I guess I'm mellowing out as I get older!
As he handed back the last photo, he stated he had learned a lot about me though the photos and that it had been a great idea to bring them to therapy. He said he was very glad I shared them with him.
I told him I appreciated his looking at them . . . I don't get to share them with people because no one wants to look at them. He reiterated his appreciation for being able to view them because it helps him better understand what I have experienced in my life.


Elements of Jewish intellectual thought may have influenced Einstein's development of the theory of relativity and Nazi attempts to discredit it. Dr. Steven Gimbel, the chair of the philosophy department at Gettsyburg College, discusses this idea in his new book, Einstein's Jewish Science: Physics at the Intersection of Politics and Religion. He will give a lecture of the same title as part of the 2012-2013 Philosophy Today Lecture Series on January 24 at 7:30 p.m. in Room 205 of Smith Hall on The University of Alabama campus. It is free and open to the public.
In Gimbel's book, he discusses how the Nazis tried to denigrate Einstein's theory of relativity by labeling it "Jewish physics." Now, with Einstein's theories as the cornerstone of much of modern science, Gimbel explores the Nazi assertion in a new light.
Gimbel is the Edwin T. and Cynthia Shearer Johnson Chair for Distinguished Teaching in the Humanities at Gettysburg College in Pennsylvania. He earned bachelor's degrees in physics and philosophy from the University of Maryland Baltimore County and a doctorate in philosophy from Johns Hopkins University.
While on campus, Gimbel will also give a departmental talk, "Invariance: A Story of Intellectual Migration," on January 25 at 3 p.m. in Room 347 of ten Hoor Hall. His talk will discuss how Arthur Cayley's concepts of covariance and invariance came from work in algebra, but in time found their way into geometry, physics, philosophy, and psychology. Using this example, he will discuss the ways in which intellectual communities and institutions often grow from one another.

Of all the outrages that occurred during the kangaroo court that was the George Zimmerman trial, here's one that really sticks in my craw. The judge allowed a "close friend" of Zimmerman's to claim in testimony that his experience as a soldier during the invasion of Vietnam (nb. at least 40 years ago) left him with the ability to recognize the voices of people who are in great distress.
Vietnam vet John Donnelly then went on to testify that the voice calling for help on a 911 recording was certainly that of Mr. Zimmerman, and not that of Trayvon Martin, the young black teenager who was Zimmerman's victim.
The identity of the voice on the recording was a crucial point in Mr. Zimmerman's defence, Someone was calling for help. If it was Martin, then clearly Zimmerman would have had very little with which to mount a defence. Mr. Martin's mother, Sybrina Fulton, identified the voice as that of her son, and you'd think she'd know. She's actually heard Trayvon's voice. In order to acquit Mr. Zimmerman, the jury had to dismiss the testimony of Trayvon's own mother, and accept the opposite, that the voice was that of Zimmerman.
But on comes Donnelly. What are we to make of his claim to special ability? He claims to be able to recognize the voices of people in distress (in one report, even though when in distress they don't sound like themselves), based on service in Vietnam. In my opinion, this is simply preposterous. It should not have gone unchallenged.
Responding to questions from defense attorney Mark O'Mara, Donnelly described his experience as a combat medic in Vietnam, saying "you can distinguish the screams for help" of men who are wounded or in life-threatening situations. "You know, when it's the men you eat with, the men you sleep with, you know who it's going to be before you get there," Donnelly said.
Given the thousands of veterans who have served as combat medics, you'd think we'd have heard of this special ability before. There ought to have been reunions of them, complete with screaming-voices guessing games. But Google away, and you'll not find any other people making similar claims. It is, not to exaggerate, breath-taking in its chutzpah. Was this guy's ability to recognize voices in distress certified by any group of professionals highly qualified in the subject, and capable of rendering a judgement on whether he actually had this recognized ability?
Er, no. He was just allowed to say he had it, and then he blithely went on to say that the voice on the tape calling for help was certainly Mr. Zimmerman, and not Trayvon Martin (whose voice, of course, he had never heard either in our out of distress).
He was allowed to enter a courtroom, claim to have an ability that no one's ever heard of before, and then testify. Now where the heck was the judge when the defence was allowed to present an "expert witness" through the back door? What was the prosecutor doing, tapping out another staff firing on her Blackberry?
That is, after all, what the defence was foisting on the court, a witness who could testify as an "expert," because of his special, unheard-of ability to identify the voice of his good friend Zimmerman's voice on a recording. Many jurisdictions have rules against "expert witness" ambush defences. The other side, defence or prosecution, have to be given disclosure that an expert will be called, and what her/his testimony will be. Does Florida have such restrictions? Maybe not.
Reporters on the scene described Donnelly's testimony as "very effective, touching." Presumably it didn't hurt that Donnelly was blubbering a bit, dabbing at his eyes with Kleenex. He also said he wished he didn't have his ability, a very nice touch.
To be fair, the defence had a parade of witnesses testifying that the voice was Zimmerman's, including Mr. Donnelly's wife, a former co-worker, Zimmerman's best friend and author of a book about the case, the best friend's wife, and Zimmerman's mother and uncle. This is all fair enough, and the jury has to decide whether to believe them or Trayvon Martin's mother and brother.
The defence should have been forced to decide whether they were putting Donnelly forward as a "close friend" (and donor to the defence's expenses), or an expert witness.
But he was allowed to do both, with absolutely no examination of his so-called ability or credentials. It made a mockery of Florida courtrooms.
Many will say it made a mockery of what was already a circus. I wouldn't disagree.

What's new from the shows: Here are products that work around the farmstead and in the field.
You need a clean, comfortable shop to work in, with the right tools to get the job done. When tractors, combines and sprayers need fuel, you need efficient, easy-to-use systems to get the fuel to the field. And today you need to think about how you will get diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) for fuel emissions to the field as well. Finally, you need ways to work on equipment in the field in situations where it would be difficult to bring it to the shop for repairs.
Companies that specialize in these areas have you covered. Farm Progress editors found a number of products that fit into each of these areas. There's an insulation system that can turn a metal building into a much warmer work area. There is a welder that uses state-of-the art technology to help you do the best job of welding possible when it's necessary to make repairs.
Several companies offer products which can help you get fuel to the field. It all depends on whether you need to get a lot of fuel to the field at once, or whether you can still work efficiently by taking smaller amounts to the field. You wouldn't think of innovation in fuel transport, but HitchDoc has a fuel pod system where the pod can actually fit onto a seed tender, giving you a novel way to get fuel to the field while also getting ready to resupply the planter or drill as well.
Sometimes things break in the field, and the best option is to make repairs there. The new product lineup for this category includes a brand-new service truck decked out with everything you will need to get things rolling again in the field. And when you just feel like cleaning up both equipment and the shop, Hotsy has a new model that can help you do that as well.

Quality work. Longer warranties. Reasonable prices.
Are you still shopping for maintenance based only on price? Automotive repairs are complex, and should be judged on a variety of factors. What is the quality of the repair work? How much time will it take? Does the shop guarantee their work? How do they treat their customers? Just because a problem goes away doesn't necessarily mean that quality work was done. Our entire service department works day after day to ensure that our customers are completely satisfied. If there's anything we can do to make the quality of your experience better, just let us know.
In the US, where the same part may be available as a new part from the manufacturer, used part, or after-market part, it is common for vehicle owners to choose the type of part that best fits their budget. Depending on the area needing the repair, it may not be necessary to order a brand-new part from the manufacturer. We want to make sure that we provide you with top-quality service at a reasonable price, so we will always consult with you before we make decisions like these.
Why have your repairs done at AB Auto Town?
We never charge for a basic inspection or service estimate. If you ever feel like something isn't right with your car, don't hesitate to bring it in right away. We'll provide a detailed explanation of the problem and won't start work without your full consent. Live too far away to stop by? We're happy to provide estimates over email as well. Just contact us!
Customers who come in for repairs are eligible to participate in our point system. Every service you get allows you to accumulate points, which you can use for discounts the next time you come into the shop.

With each having more than fifteen years experience in the food and beverage industry, the husband and wife team of Joe and Carol Irving ventured into the expanding banquet and party catering market. With a simple philosophy ?GIVE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT? as a guideline, All Beef Catering Inc. was founded in 1985. Most facilities where functions are held lack the necessary equipment to prepare meals for large numbers of guests. The idea of preparing the meals at one location, keeping them warm, transporting them to another location and then serving them there had obvious shortcomings. The challenge was to create a concept that would enable us to prepare meals on site, at various locations. These meals would have to be well received, served hot, at their prime, in ample amounts, and served exactly on time.

Information on the Minimal Genre
Minimal techno is a minimalist sub-genre of techno. It is characterized by a stripped-down aesthetic that exploits the use of repetition, and understated development. This style of dance music production generally adheres to the motto less is more; a principle that has been previously utilized, to great effect, in architecture, design, visual art, and Western art music. The tradition of minimalist aesthetics in Western culture can be traced to the German Bauhaus movement (1919 to 1933). Minimal techno is thought to have been originally developed in the early 1990s by Detroit based producers Robert Hood and Daniel Bell, although what is currently referred to as 'minimal' has largely been developed in Germany during the 2000s, and made very popular in the second half of the decade by labels such as Kompakt and M-nus.
In an essay published in the book Audio Culture: Readings in Modern Music (2004), music journalist and critic Philip Sherburne, asserts that minimal techno uses two specific stylistic approaches, one being skeletalism, and the other massification. According to Sherburne, in skeletal minimal techno, only the core elements are included with embellishments used only for the sake of variation within the song. In contrast, massification is a style of minimalism in which many sounds are layered over time, but with little variation in sonic elements. Today the influence of minimal styles of house music and techno are not only found in club music, but becoming more commonly heard in popular music. Regardless of the style, "minimal Techno corkscrews into the very heart of repetition" so cerebrally as to often inspire descriptions like 'spartan', 'clinical', 'mathematical', and 'scientific'."
The minimal techno producer Dj.João Bessa has commented that he had a dislike for minimalism in the artistic sense of the word, finding it too "arty". Robert Hood describes the situation in the early 1990s as one where techno had become too "ravey", with increasing tempos leading to the emergence of gabber. Such trends saw the demise of the soul infused techno that typified the original Detroit sound. Robert Hood has noted that he and Daniel Bell both realized something was missing from techno in the post-rave era, and saw that an important feature of the original techno sound has been lost. Hood states that "it sounded great from a production point of standpoint, but there was a 'jack' element in the structure. People would complain that there's no funk, no feeling in techno anymore, and the easy escape is to put a vocalist and some piano on top to fill the emotional gap. I thought it was time for a return to the original underground."
The minimal techno sound that emerged at this time has been defined by Robert Hood as: "a basic stripped down, raw sound. Just drums, basslines and funky grooves and only what's essential. Only what is essential to make people move. I started to look at it as a science, the art of making people move their butts, speaking to their heart, mind and soul. It's a heart-felt rhythmic techno sound.
In his essay Digital Discipline: Minimalism in House and Techno Philip Sherburne also proposes what the origins of Minimal techno might be. Sherburne states that, like most contemporary electronic dance music, minimal techno has its roots in the landmark works of pioneers such as Kraftwerk and Detroit Techno's Derrick May and Juan Atkins. Minimal techno focuses on "rhythm and repetition instead of melody and linear progression", much like classical minimalist music and the polyrhythmic African musical tradition that helped inspire it. By 1994, according to Sherburne, the term "minimal" was in use to describe "any stripped-down, Acidic derivative of classic Detroit style".
Los Angeles based writer Daniel Chamberlin, attributes the origin of minimal techno to the German producers Basic Channel and in doing so fails to credit the contributions of Robert Hood or mention the influence of Hood, and other members of Underground Resistance, on the Berlin techno scene of the early 1990s (the scene out of which Basic Channel emerged). Chamberlin draws parallels between the compositional techniques used by producers such as Richie Hawtin, Wolfgang Voigt, and Surgeon and that of American minimalist composer Steve Reich, in particular the pattern phasing system Reich employs in many of his works; the earlist being "Come Out". Chamberlin also sees the use of sine tone drones by minimalist composer La Monte Young and the repetitive patterns of Terry Riley's "In C" as other influences. Sherburne has suggested that the noted similarities between minimal forms of dance music and American minimalism could easily be accidental; he also notes that much of the music technology used in EDM has traditionally been designed to suit loop based compositional methods, which may explain why certain stylistic features of minimal techno sound similar to works of Reich's that employ loops and pattern phasing techniques.


If you've spent time on any of the Hawaiian Islands, then you know that they each have a distinct character—and that they're all special in their own way.
Maui probably comes closest to combining a little bit of all of the other islands into one place— you've got the volcanoes, the rainforest, legendary surf spots, history and culture and beaches. And with so much variety, there are also plenty of tours available—the bike or helicopter tours, snorkeling cruises, ATV rides. And there's nothing wrong with those. But if you're looking for something a little more unusual, there are plenty of opportunities to see—and learn–some really cool things while you're experiencing Hawaii's second largest island.
You probably wouldn't expect to find a distillery on the slopes of Haleakala Crater, but that's just where you'll find Hawaii Sea Spirits in the upcountry town of Kula. Founded in 2005 on a former cattle ranch, the company makes organic rum and, their signature product, Ocean Vodka using water from 3,000 feet below the Pacific Ocean, and you can tour the 80-acre farm, seven days a week.
Once you've finished your samples, be sure to visit the neighboring Surfing Goat Dairy. It's a state-of-the-art working dairy where you'll start your tour with a meet and greet with the farm's star attractions. If you can manage to tear yourself away from the baby goats, you'll continue on to the milking machines and learn about the cheese-making process. And finally, there's a tasting, where you'll sample a few of the more than 30 varieties of goat cheese produced by the dairy.
About half an hour from Kula is the town of Kahului, the home of Maui Flight Academy. Sure, you can do a flightseeing tour if you want, but how about something even better than that? How about doing your own flightseeing tour where you take off, fly and then land the plane yourself? The best part is, as long as you've got the desire to do it, there's no prior experience necessary. You'll just read a little booklet and watch a few videos and then you're ready for your introductory flight lesson with a professional flight instructor.
And if you're afraid of flying, this Cirrus SR22 is the plane you want to be in. It takes safety to a whole new level because it has its own parachute. You can fly to any of its destinations– including the active volcano on the big island where you'll fly right over the volcano and do your first landing in Hilo. Or, you can fly along the tallest sea cliffs on earth and the largest coral reef in the U.S.
My flight lesson was with Chief Flight Instructor and the owner of Maui Flight Academy, Laurence Balter. And after a brief orientation and introduction to the cockpit controls, it was time to take off. Lessons can take anywhere from an hour to an entire day–depending upon the course you choose. And during your flight, you'll learn basic flight maneuvers while you also get a bird's-eye view of Hawaii.
And, when you're done, you'll get a completion certificate that actually counts toward the pursuit of a pilot's license!

About Derbyshire Constabulary
We do not have a stand-alone modern slavery policy (in respect of Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act). Modern slavery is covered under our Public Protection Procedures. This and the coverage of modern slavery within all of our policies will form part of our continuous improvement action plan, and we are also in the process of mapping all of our policies and procedures.
Risk Assessment Prevention and Mitigation
The responsibility for risk management within the force is managed on a "threat and risk" basis. Modern slavery is managed at an operational level through local to regional and national risk assessment, and the tasking and co-ordination process. Internally we acknowledge that this is an area for development. The risk of modern slavery within our workforce is deemed to be low. The risk is higher along the supply chain.
We use the Government Modern Slavery Strategy called the 4Ps:
As we develop our action plan to include the internal processes described, we will be developing the 4Ps strategy to include plans for HR, procurement and Business Engagement.
Currently there is a risk assessment process whereby we inform our suppliers of our terms and conditions. Once the suppliers have accepted these terms and conditions, we do a risk assessment of the most highrisk companies.
These are then categorised by spend and risk, ranked using a variety of methods including the audits done and stored in SEDEX and other organisations. From this, we prioritise them into a smaller group of suppliers, which may need further investigating.
This review of our modern slavery activity has provided the opportunity to conduct a modern slavery risk assessment across all our procurement functions, and will form part of our continuous improvement action plan. We would like to have full understanding of the risks in our own operations as well as an understanding of the risks in our supply chain.
As with all policing activity we intend to take a proportionate response to this action, so that we are able to focus on priority risk, which will depend on a range of factors such as spend, geographical location, type of workforce, business sector and the enduring relationship that exists with each supplier.
In completing this piece of work, we intend to engage with internal and external stakeholders as well as worker organisations and trade associations to ensure that we understand all the modern slavery risks.
At present we do not have an overarching Modern Slavery Strategy or standalone policy in respect of Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act. As part of our continuous improvement action plan, the area of a modern slavery due diligence strategy will be developed and reviewed according to risk.
There is an enhanced vetting procedure in Derbyshire Constabulary which has the natural consequence of reducing the risk of employing a person vulnerable to modern slavery within our organisation. Every member of staff, temporary, permanent voluntary or sub -contracted, has to be vetted to "Recruitment Vetting" (RV standard).
The right to work and national vetting policy applies to everyone hired by the force, and other checks may be applied depending on the role under consideration. The degree of vetting depends on the type and the level of the role, but all staff are vetted to the same standards as a police recruit. Vetting is still applied for people hired through recruitment agencies.
The lowest level of vetting is RV vetting for police officers, with character references from previous employers for the past three years, medical and drugs testing, biometrics e.g. DNA and fingerprints. Pre-join induction packs are sent out electronically to candidates before joining. It includes a code of ethics, the values of employer and information they need before they join.
Procurement and estates team requirements have to go through a similar and recognised process of vetting during the tendering process. The process does review the sub-contractors used as well as the principal contractor.
The vetting process is applied to all sub-contracted staff and agency staff used by sub-contractors, which again reduces the risk. There has been no due diligence on the recruitment agency in respect of modern slavery specifically, which will now be included in the continuous improvement action plan.
Our supply chain has a core spend with a few multi-nationals and a large number of small spend organisations. We are committed to the premise of ensuring scrutiny on public money spending with the right checks and balances to address modern slavery. We have completed a formal review of 250 suppliers by means of a standard questionnaire (at least eight questions) which includes the Home Office questions on modern day slavery.
There is a set of terms and conditions reinforcing how suppliers should and should not act. We do not currently know what due diligence suppliers themselves do relating to modern slavery. No checks are made against a company under £25,000 if they have no employees going on site.
There are four people in the procurement team, looking after the principle contracts, anything over £25k, but at present there is not a modern slavery due diligence programme and we acknowledge that operational practices need to be reviewed and changed to minimise modern slavery risks.
We do engage with suppliers and utilise their audit information and we will review their modern slavery audit programme and work together to establish better modern slavery engagement. We are now looking to improve our understanding of the grievance mechanisms and methods of accessing remediation along our supply chains for victims of modern slavery.
We also want to help businesses to ensure that they have incident response plans to support victims in the event of the discovery of modern slavery. As a policing organisation with resources, networks, collaborations and victim care services, we feel that this an area that we can improve on and offer guidance to assist businesses.

Medicine Alone Can't Beat Diseases. We Need Stories as well.
May 15, 2017 November 11, 2019 Nicole Carloni	0 Comments Medicine, Narrative
In the summer of 2014, aid workers descended upon West Africa as the underdeveloped health systems of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone struggled to contain a rapidly spreading Ebola outbreak. A few months later, just out of graduate school, I would join the fight in Sierra Leone.
I arrived in the country a few weeks after the peak of the outbreak. The impact of Ebola was immediately clear as I stepped off the plane and was directed to a handwashing station before having my temperature taken by health workers dressed in full-body protective suits. I would submit to these preventative measures thousands of times over the next six months, but on my first night there, that soon-to-be ordinary ritual was nerve-wracking enough to make me question whether or not I had made a wise decision. But only for a moment.
Any doubts I had quickly faded as I jumped into my work. I spent my first week in Sierra Leone learning how my predecessors had confronted the disease. They had spent an enormous amount of money on education campaigns in order to teach the public what Ebola is, the best ways to prevent infection, and what to do if symptoms occurred. NGO's sent workers out across the country to explain viruses and how they spread, while posters and billboards advocated regular hand washing and early treatment by medical professionals. And it worked – to an extent. But facts and figures were simply not enough to fully overcome the superstitions and important cultural and religious traditions that had been contributing to the spread of the disease. To completely end the outbreak, we needed to take a different approach to inspire behavior change.
What we needed were stories.
Humans have been telling stories since long before the dawn of recorded history. It's impossible to know when the first story was told, but one theory, described by Jean-Louis Dessalles in Why We Talk: The Evolutionary Origins of Language, suggests that storytelling began in the form of mimes and gestures even before the development of speech. Cave paintings in France, Spain, Indonesia and elsewhere have given us a glimpse into the importance of storytelling in the lives of our ancestors. Their art, which primarily features animal drawings and is, in many cases, thought to portray hunting expeditions, was likely significant in social or religious rituals. Oral storytelling traditions have also been important to cultures around the world for thousands of years. In fact, some of the most well-known stories were originally transmitted this way. The Judeo-Christian Bible and the great classics of Homer were both initially shared orally. Author Ursula Le Guin has said that, "the story—from Rumplestiltskin to War and Peace—is one of the basic tools invented by the human mind for the purpose of understanding. There have been great societies that did not use the wheel, but there have been no societies that did not tell stories." From the moment early humans first sought to share their experiences with each other, stories have always been an integral part of life.
There have been great societies that did not use the wheel, but there have been no societies that did not tell stories.
Stories, whether short parables or mighty epics, have the power to captivate our imaginations, inspire us to action and evoke emotions in ways other art forms cannot. They're used to entertain, preserve cultural values, and spread new ideas. They can be shared orally, on film or in writing and are as diverse as the cultures that create them. But what exactly explains the enduring power of the story in the human consciousness?
Dr. Paul Zak, director of the Center for Neuroeconomics Studies and author of The Moral Molecule: The Source of Love and Prosperity, has shown that a captivating narrative stimulates the release of oxytocin in the brain which can affect how we think, feel, and behave. Oxytocin is commonly referred to as "the love molecule" due to the role it plays in facilitating trust and attachment. Zak's research has essentially confirmed what we all know from our own experiences. When a story holds our attention, we're more likely to share the emotions conveyed by the main characters in that story. Once that happens, we're also more likely to imitate the behaviors of the characters after the story ends.
For those of us who belong to the so-called "Potter Generation," these effects are familiar. As we grew up alongside Harry, Ron, and Hermione, we shamelessly shed tears and shared in the grief they felt over the deaths of some of our favorite characters and celebrated with them as good ultimately triumphed over evil. Readers also began brandishing wands, uttering spells and creating a real-life version of Quidditch, the most popular sport of the wizarding world. Research suggests that our imitation of J.K. Rowling's beloved characters doesn't end there. Published in 2014, a study entitled The Greatest Magic of Harry Potter: Reducing Prejudice, found that "reading the novels of Harry Potter improves attitudes towards stigmatized groups…participants observed the positive attitudes and behaviors of Harry Potter toward stigmatized fantastic groups, and projected them onto real stigmatized categories…" As anticipated by Zak's research, fictional stories can have a powerful real-world impact.
These insights into the psychological power of stories were being put to practical use long before a biological basis for them was confirmed. Anyone who has given, or even listened to, a presentation knows that one of the best ways to captivate an audience is to open with a story. Stories can help us to relate to others and make sense of the world around us. We typically frame our lives as an ongoing narrative and health-related events can play a significant role. And yet, while narrative medicine and storytelling in global health have been on the rise, they are still underutilized in efforts to improve health outcomes.
These insights into the psychological power of stories were being put to practical use long before a biological basis for them was confirmed.
In a world where the conclusions of thoroughly discredited studies are still believed to be true science and we fail to dismiss "alternative facts" as fiction, it may not be surprising that actual facts are not enough to convince people to change their behavior. Information that doesn't agree with our beliefs is simply dismissed or forgotten. Anti-vaxxers refuse to vaccinate their children despite ample evidence that there is no vaccine-autism link, millions of people continue to smoke despite knowing how bad it is and most of us will still reach for the French fries even though we know we should probably be reaching for some carrots instead.
The idea that knowledge doesn't always motivate people to action has long been a burden on the shoulders of public health professionals. To combat this issue, the CDC decided to put a "show, don't tell" method to the test in an effort to motivate more smokers to quit. The result was the Tips From Former Smokers campaign. Launched in 2012 and slated to run through 2017, the project features videos of real people who share what it's like to live with the consequences of smoking. The campaign has been wildly successful, with an estimated 5 million smokers attempting to quit and 500,000 quitting for good. Smokers had always known that continuing to smoke would eventually kill them, but for many, that fact was "true, but useless." Data on risk levels and early mortality rates were not enough to overcome the power of nicotine addiction. It would take real and often disconcerting stories from people to whom they could connect, thus, inspiring change.
In a world where the conclusions of thoroughly discredited studies are still believed to be true science and we fail to dismiss 'alternative facts' as fiction, it may not be surprising that actual facts are not enough to convince people to change their behavior.
In Sierra Leone, we took a similar approach. Some of the biggest challenges to stopping the Ebola outbreak were overcoming myths about the disease, such as the ideas that it was a curse rather than a virus and that it could be cured by home remedies, and convincing people to practice safe burials. At the peak of the outbreak, eighty percent of new cases were the result of unsafe burial practices which included rituals such as washing the body of the deceased. Knowledge that these practices were spreading disease wasn't enough to overcome these deeply held, spiritually significant beliefs. As with smokers, not even the possibility of early death was motivation to change.
Discussing the parallels between creating stories and practicing the art of healing, physician Gavin Harris argues that both disciplines are "helped by adopting the same attitude of open curiosity, of creative engagement, of seeking to empathize with the predicament of the other, of tapping into the wider context of human lives. The doctor, like the writer, works best when she's alive to the subtlety of individual experience, and is able at the same time to see that individual in his or her social context." Sierra Leoneans had their own stories and traditions that shaped the way they faced Ebola. Although these stories of curses and wandering spirits may have provided a way for Sierra Leoneans to make sense of their experiences, they would not be helpful in fighting a deadly disease. As Harris suggests, it would be the responsibility of physicians and aid workers to create new narratives that would educate individuals while also respecting the larger context in which they lived.
Just like the CDC's anti-smoking campaign, we needed a story to which people could relate and which would inspire sustained behavior change. We began using an animated video created by Chocolate Moose Media, iHeed and United Methodist Communications that sought to dispel myths about Ebola. The video, Ebola: A Poem for the Living, features a young boy telling the story of how he became infected. As he lays in bed dying, he speaks to his family, explaining that "tradition kills," urging them to avoid touching him and asking them to honor him by giving him a safe burial. It is a powerful and haunting story that had an extremely positive impact.
Within three months, four social mobilization teams in two districts had shared the video with nearly 60,000 people. In addition, community leaders were trained to use a flipbook version of the story and host dialogue sessions to discuss the issues presented. Using a story to promote behavior change helped to begin a conversation that wasn't possible when using radio jingles or billboard ads. We weren't talking at community members, we were talking with them and it made all the difference.
The Ebola outbreak would be declared over a few months later, but not before taking the lives of over 11,000 people. While no single messaging strategy can be given all the credit for ending the outbreak, one thing is certain—stories can be tremendously effective in creating a lasting change in health outcomes. When used properly at the right time and in the right setting, personally relevant stories can encourage people to take action in a way that statistics cannot. Data and facts can't be thrown out the window in order to rely completely on storytelling, but the latter must have a more prominent place at the table if we hope to solve the public health problems that will plague us in the future.

"Pragmatism, on the other hand, asks its usual question. 'Grant an idea or belief to be true,' it says, 'what concrete difference will its being true make in anyone's actual life? How will the truth be realized? What experiences will be different from those which would obtain if the belief were false? What, in short, is the truth's cash-value in experiential terms?'" — William James

FCC's OET Clarifies Emissions Compliance Testing for RF LED Lighting Devices
TAGS: ARRL Lab, harmful interference, MHz, standards development committee, unintentional radiators
The FCC's Office of Engineering and Technology (OET) has clarified that all RF LED lighting devices falling under Part 15 rules as "unintentional radiators" must meet conducted and radiated emissions limits set forth in those rules.
"Operation of Part 15 unintentional radiators is subject to the condition that no harmful interference is caused," the OET reminded, in a knowledge database paper released on June 17. "Manufacturers and users should therefore note that lighting devices are required to cease operation, if harmful interference occurs."
The OET said radiated emissions measurements must be performed at least from 30 MHz to 1000 MHz to adequately demonstrate compliance with Part 15 (§15.109). Its guidance, the OET continued, applies to RF LED lighting devices that, in the past, have been considered to operate on frequencies below 1.705 MHz. Previously, devices operating between 9 kHz and 1705 kHz had to be tested only for radiated emissions up to 30 MHz, where no specified radiated emissions limits exist, and were exempt from testing from 30 MHz to 1000 MHz. The OET said it recognizes that routine radiated emissions measurements are needed under Part 15, based on the highest frequency generated or used in the device.
"[W]e have found that emissions from RF LED lighting devices are non-periodic, broadband in nature, and are produced as a byproduct of the internal driver circuitry within the RF LED lighting device," the OET "knowledge data base" paper said. "These types of emissions have adequate energy and potential to generate radiated emissions well above 30 MHz."
The ARRL Lab's Electromagnetic Compatibility Engineer Mike Gruber, W1MG, said he was pleased to see the FCC's OET clarify the test measurement requirements. He said ARRL is generally hearing more RFI complaints stemming from RF LED bulbs.
"Not only are the emissions limits higher for Part 15 LED bulbs — as opposed to Part 18 fluorescent and CFL bulbs, they seem to be winning out in terms of consumer popularity," Gruber said. "Higher limits and more bulbs probably make for more complaints." Gruber said the Lab has seen LED lighting devices causing problems in the 2 meter band. "Since conducted emissions limits do not apply above 30 MHz, radiated emissions limits can be the first line of defense against RFI at these higher frequencies."
Gruber pointed out that noise generated by street and traffic lighting can be widespread. In such instances, he suggested that Part 15b limits for residential areas should apply. "These limits are lower than Part 15a limits, which are intended only for commercial and industrial environments," he explained. "This is especially critical in cases where a pole transformer connected to the lighting device also feeds a home or residence. The 240 V split-phase secondary system can conduct RF into a residence through the service entrance panel." He suggested that the lower limits may benefit mobile users.
The OET noted that the ANSI Accredited Standards Committee C63® -EMC standards development committee is drafting measurement procedures for lighting devices. "When complete, we expect it will address in greater detail the measurement procedures and configurations to be used in determining compliance," the OET said.

When looking for a home to invest in, it's not just the technical aspects that you should look at. It's also important to find a space that makes you feel at peace even by just thinking about living there.
However, it's not always possible to tell right away if your home is a peaceful place or not. Often, you'll only know once you actually get settled in. Maybe you feel that there is an eerie presence lurking somewhere in the area, or that the atmosphere is heavy and wearying. But don't think that only previously-occupied homes experience this. According to design consultant Grace Moslares, "Lahat ng houses meron n'yan. Mapapansin mo 'yan, kahit bago, kahit luma. Lahat." So, whether you live in an old home or in a brand-new space, it's very possible that different sorts of negative energy already reside there.
But don't worry! With the help of some simple tricks, you'll be able to say goodbye to those unpleasant vibes and create a space that is not only peaceful but also positive and stimulating.
What gives a house bad vibes?
Before cleansing your home, you should first know what it is that gives a house negative vibes. Experts say that the energy in a home is heavily influenced by the energy of the people who live (or used to live) there. If that energy is mostly positive, the vibe of the home is also positive. But if the energy of the residents is predominantly negative, the home will also absorb a negative atmosphere. Unless there are conscious efforts carried out to clear out that negativity, those unpleasant vibes will likely hang around the home, even if new people occupy it.
One factor that can make a home feel like an unpleasant place to be in is the presence of clutter. You won't be able to relax if you constantly see objects in disarray or if you never know where to find the things you need. Start off by clearing out the clutter—throw out what's broken or no longer usable, give away the things you don't want anymore, and instead just keep those that you really need or use regularly.
Deep-cleaning doesn't just involve getting rid of clutter. It's important to also clean the air inside your home. One great way to do this is by burning some sage. Sage is not only helpful in eliminating negative energy, but is also able to clear air of micro-contaminants and bacteria. Simply light up some sage, then blow out the flame and walk around your home, blowing smoke into each corner.
There's a reason why doing nature-related activities are so relaxing. Studies have shown that the presence of plants helps us feel more at ease and less stressed. Green wonders help people feel a lot more focused and productive, and just happier in general. They are also a natural filter for negative energy. Place at least one plant in each room in your home to help fill the whole space with positive vibes.
Salt is not only great for adding flavor to food—it can also be used to throw negativity out the door! You can use salt in a variety of ways: Sprinkle it on your carpet, then leave there for an hour before vacuuming; put bowls of salt in the corners of your home then throw them out after 24 hours; or draw yourself a bath and add 2 cups of sea salt in the water. Regardless of whichever method you use, your home (and you yourself) will feel instantly uplifted.
Aside from helping reduce negative energy, essential oils have the ability to do a lot of other great things, such as make a space smell much better and improve your mood. Depending on your preference, use essential oils in your home and feel the negativity simply disappear out the door.
For many, the best way to combat negative energy is by spending the time to pray. You may find it incredibly helpful to set aside a space in your home where you can get some quiet time and say a prayer to keep the gloomy atmosphere at bay. For some others, meditative practices like yoga are helpful. Similarly, create a place in your home where you can do some meditative practices, which will not only help you feel positive, but also improve your health.

Man it must have sucked trying to make AI before Mugen 1.x introduced the AILevel variable.
Doesn't matter which character! It happens to many of the characters when add ai patch! What the f*ck is going on!
Sorry I made a mistake in reading........well, I think it is better to contact the MUGEN author/creator to ask him/her/it to fix then......
Thanks anyway!
Since winmugen didn't have anyway to know if a player was AI controlled, author's often used crappy and stupid methods of setting their own AI variable such as a certain amount of idle time without input. The only way to fix it will be to reverse engineer the AI variable and set it by some other method.
Thanks winmugen.

The best method is surely the variable based one, right? Other than Winane's helper-based AI activation, I don't see why anyone would use anything different.
There's two "good ways" to do it.
1) Winmugen compatible
Make a crap ton of humanly impossible commands that will activate a variable in the character which enables his AI. Annoying, but functional. Requires even more work if you want your AI to be adjustable as you have to account for that and make it possible for the user to modify it.
2) Mugen 1.x AILevel variable
You can use the global AILevel variable for Mugen 1.x compatible characters for AI attack states. It works the same way as player command states (states in CMD file), but instead of using the command as the trigger, you use AILevel > 0 and some other situational triggers to emulate AI. This is much easier than it sounds. My characters use this method and they manage to have surprisingly competent AI.
The biggest reason you want this is that (if you do it properly) it uses the Mugen difficulty setting.
That's what I meant by "variable method". That's the one I use.
I'd use this method if more people used 1.0. I can't be arsed to code two different AIs for WinMUGEN and 1.0, and I'd rather the character was compatible with as much as possible. Removing winquotes and supplying an alterate .def file is easy. If it's just a case of swapping bits of code around, then perhaps I might consider using both AI methods.
