Indo-American Chamber Celebrates a Five Year Milestone
The Georgia Indo-American Chamber of Commerce (GIACC) celebrated its fifth anniversary June 16 at the Palace Restaurant and Banquet Hall. Over 75 businesspeople and community leaders attended the dinner honoring the chamber, a non-profit organization that has worked to promote business relations between the southeastern United States and India.
A steering committee of 30 Atlanta-based businessmen launched the chamber to promote trade between Georgia and India and to attract India based businesses to locate to Georgia. Since its conception, the chamber has grown to more than 130 members, organized more than 100 events, worked closely with local organizations and welcomed Indian dignitaries, including three Indian ambassadors to the U.S. and more than five Indian cabinet ministers.
Over the past five years, the chamber has also worked to promote Indian cultural events. In 2003, it established the annual Indian film festival that it sponsors with Atlanta's High Museum of Art.
Mr. Madhu Madhusudan, Chairman gave a historical account of the organization since its inception. Dr. Ash Thakker elaborated on the events of the year and Ms. Teri Simmons, President elect gave her vision for the coming year. More about the Chamber can be seen at www.giacc.org

THE PROPOSAL/A self-regulatory code
Di Carolina Mancini
The reason why the State should now attribute a role to regions and their film commissions which is no longer purely ancillary but complementary, lies in the facts: faced with the decreasing amount of direct support provided by the State, Regional Funds are now growing in terms of both numbers and allocations. In Italy, it is nearly always the Film Commissions that manage the Funds and this is a good thing(even though it is a completely Italian characteristic), because in the rare cases when it does not occur, efficiency and transparency rapidly decrease.
This often means that the potential users – audiovisual producers – measure the professionalism of the Film Commissions according to the Fund's financial allocation. And that is not a good thing.
This digression about Funds leads us to ask ourselves about the role of Film Commissions.
The very broad definition – agencies of regional attraction – encompasses different instruments through which this attractiveness is handled that vary according to the vocation the region has chosen for itself.
Not just the Funds, but above all the quantity and quality of the services offered make all the difference on the extremely disparate panorama of Italian film commissions which involves different legal figures (from Foundations to Cultural Associations), as well as the functions and services offered and the quality of the same.
The need to bring order to the disorganized growth of these bodies is, I believe, a sign of maturity,and although we do not have unanimity (there are those that believe new rules will suffocate the autonomy of the Film Commissions), this is the path that the Association is, at least officially, taking.
Currently there are very general rules, provided by the more authoritative AFCI (International Association of film commissioners), such as the compulsory connection with the public regional body and the free nature of the services offered (which is not always complied with) which, in any case, I do not think can be sufficient to enter into negotiations with central government.
I believe that the route leading to the 'recognition' of Film Commissions has to pass through the setting up of a self-regulatory code that, in addition to defining the regional sphere of the Film Commissions, which should coincide with that of the Regions, also contains the definition of the qualitative standards of the services provided.
It is a big task made more difficult because, by not relying on external prescriptions, it has to achieve shared choices and thus face and create visions which are different and often opposing. A task which would, however, result in an enormous qualitative leap not just for the association but also for the film commissions themselves, which would be placed in the position of being able to "run" within the comfort of a set of rules.
Basically, I think that we can envisage a new path for Film Commissions – just because they are, as producers often say, the only truly new feature to appear on the Italian audiovisual panorama in recent years: instead of invoking new laws, they can give themselves the rules to be complied with in order to belong to the association.
And they can face central government aiming for a form of recognition that does not involve sanctions for those who break the rules but rewards for those that respect them.
In this way, the Film Commissions that work well would be identified by a mark of quality, a label, (I have purposely not used the term "virtuous", which has now become meaningless).
Only to them would the State award not just money but a series of equally quantifiable benefits. Which?
Here we need the imagination of the film commissioners.
For me, a possible example comes to mind: the "labeled" Film Commissions could guarantee producer-users rapid and cost free access to places – locations which fall within the jurisdiction of the Fine Arts regional board. Seeing as filming in these places has to be paid for, any film commission that is able to eliminate this cost would certainly be more attractive.
To conclude, this is intended to be a small but sincere contribution, respect- ing the figures and skills for which the Film Commissions are responsible. In other words I do not want to teach anyone a trade that is not my own. But I do want the spirit that has inspired these reflections to be accepted: I think we have to go back to being realistic, and to ask for the impossible.

Has anyone seen any information about the Roadmaster Comfort Ride springs and shocks? I read the article in the July issue of Trailer Life, but haven't seen much of anything anywhere else. I'm sure the Morryde IS rules over all, but I was just wondering if this would be a significant upgrade in ride quality over the stock system.
Do you have much of a problem with keeping them inflated? My airbag on the Flex Air needs topping off every few days. I can't find a leak.
That seems to be the nature of the beast. I have always had the same issue on my 2012 36RL with the Trail-Air Tri-Glide. When on the move, I check the pressure every morning, otherwise, I check the air pressure prior to hooking up the truck. I have always suspected the schrader valve had a slow leak but everyone that has one of these units seems to have the same problem. So, I don't worry about it too much.
I got tired of getting out the compressor for my Triglide on the Redwood, so I installed one up in the pin box cavity.
Now I find out there is a company called Liberty Rider that has been selling pretty much the same system for a couple of years. A video on YouTube looks pretty convincing, but Hey, what do I know?
I have a few ideas that may help with the air loss problem. There is a product that Walmart sells called tire slim , its a green paste in a bottle that has sealed my tractor tires and stopped all minor leaks to the point where I don't put air in the tires but maybe every other year. It was to the point of every 2~3 weeks the tires need air. Also metal valve stem caps with rubber gaskets will seal the stem from core leaks , also available at Walmart. the green slime works best if it coates every part of a tire so I am not sure how well its going to work in the air bag but if it isn't hard to remove the bag maybe put some in it and shake it around .
Yeah, I use slime in my mower tires and it works. But like you said it has to coat the whole tire to work. Not sure how to make it seal a non rotating air bag.
Had the slime in our bicycle tubes, mower tubes & my wheel barrow, but don't think I'd add it to the air bag, I think rotation is the key & not much rotation in the air bag.

Men are very rational by character. We see a problem, we try and purpose out a answer. To us, we just do what makes the most "logical" sense. That's just the way most men like to reside their life.
A: I guess the zaniest thing I did was really map out my legendary town of Whispering Bay (situated somewhere between Panama Metropolis and Destin Florida) and begin driving from it all in places. Since the town only exists in my imagination, I experienced to maintain heading back and figuring out precisely where it should be situated to make it appear reasonable. There's a scene in my book exactly where my hero and heroine make a mad dash on the 4th of July to the Panama Metropolis bus station. I drove there only to uncover that the bus station isn't open up on vacations! So in the end, I had to take a little bit of literary license.
Pink is related with femininity, sweetness and Hyderabad Escorts. Pink is also related with heat passion and gentleness. Pink carnations are associated with a mother's adore whilst pink roses are associated with sweet romance. Not the lustful sort but younger adore that is pure and sweet.
Just be concerned about showing that special man in your life what a wonderful person you are. If you are kind, he will start to really feel safe with you and see you as the kind of woman that he would want to location his trust in. It is accurate that some males seem to by no means create past the obsession with a woman's looks. He'll develop up someday. Just make sure that if you wait around he is truly worth it.
Mix things up. For instance, if you sent severe or factual email messages on the first try, the 2nd time you send a concept, it ought to be somewhat various. You can try making the email funny. You'll by no means know what works if you don't try, correct?
Updating the profile image. Make sure that you publish your newest photograph. You don't have to invest anything for this because you can use your phone's digital camera to take the photo or maybe a electronic digital camera. Upload it on your profile.
A: I started that initial historic 7 many years ago. It was awful. I mean, really poor stuff. My creating has improved so much because then that it seems like a lifetime ago!
All these years ago, I cried for that younger guy in the movie. I felt his discomfort. I felt the loss of the love the couple shared. And I prayed that should I ever find a adore so potent, it would not die on me. Yet, of course, I know that happens each single working day to somebody.


, we selects the very best series along with greatest quality just for you all, and this pictures is actually one of images libraries in your greatest images gallery regarding Inspirational Image Of Bailey Mountain Bike Park. I am hoping you'll like it.

Q: Explaining row and column dependencies This is a simple and common scenario at work, and I'd appreciate some input.
Say I am generating a report for the owners of a pet show, and they want to know which of their customers have bought how many of each pet. In this scenario my only tools are SQL and something that outputs my query to a spreadsheet.
As the shop owner, I might expect reports in the form:
Customer  Dog  Cat  Rabbit
1         2    3    0
2         0    1    1
3         1    2    0
4         0    0    1

And if one day I decided to stock Goldfish then the report should now come out as.
Customer  Dog  Cat  Rabbit Goldfish
1         2    3    0      0
2         0    1    1      0
3         1    2    0      0
4         0    0    1      0
5         0    0    0      1

But as you probably know, to have a query which works this way would involve some form of dynamic code generation and would be harder to do.
The simplest query would work along the lines of:
Cross join Customers and Pets, Outer join Sales, Group, etc.
and generate:
Customer Pet      Quantity
1        Dog      2
1        Cat      3
1        Rabbit   0
1        Goldfish 0
2        Dog      0
2        Cat      1
2        Rabbit   1
...etc

a) How would I explain to the shop owners that the report they want is 'harder' to generate? I'm not trying to say it's harder to read, but it is harder to write.
b) What is the name of the concept I am trying to explain to the customer (to aid with my Googling)?

A: The name of the concept is 'cross-tab' and can be accomplished in several ways.
MS Access has proprietary extensions to SQL to make this happen. SQL pre-2k5 has a CASE trick and 2k5 and later has PIVOT, but I think you still need to know what the columns will be.

A: Some databases indeed support some way of creating cross tables, but I think most need to know
the columns in advance, so you'd have to modify the SQL (and get a database that supports such an extension).
Another alternative is to create a program that will postprocess the second "easy" table to get your clients the cross table as output. This is probably easier and more generic than having to modify SQL or dynamically generate it.
And about a way to explain the problem... you could show them in an Excel how many  steps are needed to get the desired result:

*

*Source data (your second listing).

*Select values from the pets column

*Place each pet type found on a new column

*Count values per each type per client

*Fill the values

and then say that SQL gives you only the source data, so it's of course more work.

A: This concept is called pivoting
SQL assumes that your data is represented in terms of relations with fixed structure.
Like, equality is a binary relation, "customer has this many pets of this type" is a ternary relation and so on.
When you see this resultset:
Customer Pet      Quantity
1        Dog      2
1        Cat      3
1        Rabbit   0
1        Goldfish 0
2        Dog      0
2        Cat      1
2        Rabbit   1

, it's actually a relation defined by all possible combinations of domain values being in this relation.
Like, a customer 1 (domain customers id's) has exactly 2 (domain positive numbers) pets of genus dog (domain pets).
We don't see rows like these in the resultset:
Customer Pet      Quantity
1        Dog      3
Pete     Wife     0.67

, because the first row is false (customer 1 doesn't have 3 items of dog, but 2), and the second row values are out of their domain scopes.
SQL paradigma implies that your relations are defined when you issue a query and each row returned defines the relation completely.
SQL Server 2005+ can map rows into columns (that is what you want), but you should know the number of columns when designing the query (not running).
As a rule, the reports you are trying to build are built with reporting software which knows how to translate relational SQL resultsets into nice looking human readable reports.

A: I have always called this pivoting, but that may not be the formal name.
Whatever it's called you can do almost all of this in plain SQL.
SELECT customer, count(*), sum(CASE WHEN pet='dog' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as dog, sum(case WHEN pet='cat' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) as cast FROM customers join pets

Obviously what's missing is the dynamic columns. I don't know if this is possible in straight SQL, but it's certainly possible in a stored procedure to generate the query dynamically after first querying for a list of pets. The query is built into a string then that string is used to create a prepared statement.

President Trump Issues Payroll Tax Deferral Order
Author: Robert S. Teachout, XpertHR Legal Editor
President Trump has issued an executive order to implement a temporary payroll tax holiday to provide financial relief to employees affected by the coronavirus public health crisis. The Memorandum on Deferring Payroll Tax Obligations in Light of the Ongoing COVID-19 Disaster instructs the Secretary of the Treasury "to defer the withholding, deposit, and payment" of the employee portion of Social Security taxes. The order comes as negotiations on another COVID-19 disaster relief bill have stalled.
When implemented, the order will defer withholding and payment of employees' 6.2% portion of Social Security taxes on wages earned from September 1 through the end of the year. To be eligible, an employee's gross earnings in a two-week period must be less than $4,000 ($104,000 per year). The deferred amounts will not accrue any penalties or interest.
The new payroll tax deferral is separate from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act provision that allows for the deferral of the employer's portion of payroll tax. The deferral option will not be available until the IRS issues implementing guidance as directed by the executive order.
It is unclear if employees will have to opt in to take advantage of the tax deferral, just as employers were required to do under the CARES Act. In addition, in an interview with Fox Business, Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin indicated that participation won't be mandatory for businesses. "We can't force people to participate, but I think many small businesses will [participate] and pass on the benefits," Mnuchin said.
Another issue that has not yet been addressed concerns when the deferred tax withholdings would have to be repaid and how. The order directs the Treasury Secretary to explore avenues that would waive the obligation to repay the deferred taxes. But that would most likely require legislation, and neither Republicans nor Democrats in Congress have embraced the President's proposal since he initially floated the idea of a payroll tax holiday a year ago.
If legislation forgiving the tax is not passed, employers could be put into the position of either clawing back the money from employees (all at once or in payments) or paying the amounts themselves. As a result, many payroll experts are advising employers not to take action until further information is available.
President Trump also issued a memorandum that authorizes $400 per week in additional unemployment benefits. The $400 amount reflects a $300 federal contribution and a $100 state contribution. Another memorandum directs the Secretary of Education to continue the temporary cessation of student loan payments and the waiver of interest until December 31, 2020.

Q: Use torch.square() inside a nn.Sequential layer in PyTorch I want to square the result of a maxpool layer.
I tried the following:
class CNNClassifier(Classifier):  # nn.Module
    def __init__(self, in_channels):
        super().__init__()
        self.save_hyperparameters('in_channels')
        self.cnn = nn.Sequential(
            # maxpool
            nn.MaxPool2d((1, 5), stride=(1, 5)),
            torch.square(),
            # layer1
            nn.Conv2d(in_channels=in_channels, out_channels=32, kernel_size=5,
        )

Which to the experienced PyTorch user for sure makes no sense.
Indeed, the error is quite clear:

TypeError: square() missing 1 required positional arguments: "input"

How can I feed in to square the tensor from the preceding layer?

A: You can't put a PyTorch function in a nn.Sequential pipeline, it needs to be a nn.Module.
You could wrap it like this:
class Square(nn.Module):
    def forward(self, x):
        return torch.square(x)

Then use it inside your sequential layer like so:
class CNNClassifier(Classifier):  # nn.Module
    def __init__(self, in_channels):
        super().__init__()
        self.save_hyperparameters('in_channels')
        self.cnn = nn.Sequential(
            nn.MaxPool2d((1, 5), stride=(1, 5)),
            Square(),
            nn.Conv2d(in_channels=in_channels, out_channels=32, kernel_size=5))

Former AVMA President Dr. Mary Beth Leininger Joins Pet Insurance Provider Hartville Group
By Good News For Pets on October 5, 2011 Veterinary News
CANTON, Ohio (Sept. 21, 2011) — The Hartville Group Inc., together with its subsidiary Petsmarketing Insurance.com Agency, Inc., one of the nation's leading pet insurance providers, has named Mary Beth Leininger, DVM, Vice President of Veterinary Relations. In this role, Dr. Leininger will expand Hartville's efforts to reach out to veterinarians and their clients to promote the value and benefits of pet health insurance, including the Hartville Group's ASPCA Pet Health Insurance program.
One of the most recognized names within the veterinary community, Dr. Leininger was the first woman elected President of the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) from 1996 to 1997.
"We're excited to welcome Dr. Leininger to our team," said Hartville CEO Dennis Rushovich. "As our company continues to evolve, Dr. Leininger will play an important role in informing the veterinary industry about ASPCA Pet Health Insurance and our company. Adding Dr. Leininger to our team expands our opportunities to communicate the value of our pet insurance programs within the veterinary community and, ultimately, to veterinary consumers."
For nearly 30 years, Dr. Leininger co‐owned a successful, AAHA‐accredited companion animal practice in Plymouth, Mich. During that time, she helped establish one of the first collaborative veterinary emergency facilities in the Midwest and served her community and her profession in many roles, including as President of both the Southeastern Michigan Veterinary Medical Association and the Michigan Veterinary Medical Association. Following her years in private practice and her term as AVMA President, Dr. Leininger joined Hill's Pet Nutrition, Inc. as Director, Professional Affairs for 10 years. She recently completed nearly two years' work as a consultant with the Association of American Veterinary Medical Colleges as Project Manager for the North American Veterinary Medical Education Consortium (NAVMEC), a collaborative national initiative to improve professional education.
"Pet insurance is an important way for families to afford the quality care for their beloved pets that all veterinarians work so hard to provide," Dr. Leininger said. "I believe that with support from veterinarians pet insurance will significantly help the veterinary profession and improve care for pets while leaving important treatment decisions in the hands of veterinarians and their clients.
"I chose to join the Hartville Group because the company and its ASPCA Pet Health Insurance program are very well positioned both to serve the needs of veterinary clients and to deepen the positive impact of pet insurance in veterinary practices," Dr. Leininger said.
Founded in 1997, the Hartville Group is the second oldest and second largest pet insurance provider in the U.S. Hartville also is the only strategic partner for pet insurance with the ASPCA® (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals®). Established in 2006, this relationship paved the way for Hartville to develop and launch the ASPCA Pet Health Insurance program.
Since then, the pet insurance program has grown substantially, with tens of thousands of veterinary practices across the country distributing information about ASPCA Pet Health Insurance to their clients.
In her role at Hartville, Dr. Leininger will be responsible for expanding these avenues to reach pet insurance customers through U.S. veterinary practices. She will be at the forefront of Hartville's outreach efforts within the veterinary community, including participation with national and regional associations, conventions, and educational institutions.
"With her extensive experience and leadership in the veterinary community, Dr. Leininger is uniquely positioned to advance our pet insurance plans among veterinary practices and their clients while also providing a valuable perspective to the executive and field teams within the company," Mr. Rushovich said.
"I've devoted much of my career to advocating issues that are paramount to the veterinary profession as a whole," Dr. Leininger said. "I see pet insurance as an important concept for veterinarians to support because it helps lessen cost as a factor in treatment decisions, especially in these challenging economic times."

All this month, I've been tossing ideas around in my head about productive things I could do with my four-day Thanksgiving weekend. And now it's Sunday, and I've done very little. I went to a friend's house on Thanksgiving, and had a very good Thanksgiving dinner. Then I started feeling sick on Friday, and just sat around the house all day reading comics and watching TV. I felt better Saturday, and actually got a few things done in the morning, but then I started feeling bad again in the afternoon and went back to my "TV, comics, and napping" agenda. Today, I almost talked myself into going into NYC to see the new David Hockney exhibit at the Met, but didn't quite manage it. (It's not actually open yet, but member previews were this weekend.) There's still time for me to get some stuff done today, but so far, I've only managed to shower, eat breakfast, and read comics, and it's 10am already.
My comic book reading this weekend has been eclectic. I finished the Sandman: Dream Hunters adaptation that was done by P. Craig Russell about ten years ago. That was really great, as I expected. (Neil Gaiman is one of my favorite writers, and Russell is one of my very favorite comic book artists. Maybe my all-time favorite.) (That book is only $5 for the Kindle version, right now, by the way.) I read the original illustrated (not comic book) version a few years ago, and that's also pretty great. (Yoshitaka Amano is a pretty amazing artist, too.) It's a little weird how a number of Neil Gaiman's books exist in multiple versions like this: one with prose and illustrations, and one done as a comic book. But I can't complain. When both versions are so good, I don't mind buying and reading the same story twice.
I also read volume 2 of Megatokyo, which is a fairly low-key manga-style web comic. I read the first volume some time ago, but wasn't really into it enough to go straight to the second. But, yesterday, it seemed like a good "lazy day" book. It was good, but I'm not planning on picking up any more of it right away. If I'm in the mood for it again, maybe I'll try reading it on the web.

19 Killed Including 9 Children In Deadliest NYC Fire In Decades; Blaze Started By Space Heater
By TDO on	 01/09/2022 0 Comments
Update (1840ET): Authorities have confirmed that the deadly Bronx apartment complex fire that killed at least 19 people (including 9 children) was started by a malfunctioning space heater, NYC Mayor Eric Adams disclosed during a press conference Sunday evening.
32 people have been hospitalized, and 60 were injured in total. One reason this fire's death toll was high was because of the smoke, not the flames, which were mostly confined to one apartment.
Here are more details, courtesy of Reuters:
The fire itself started in an apartment that spanned the second and third floors of the building, and only made it to the hall, officials said.
But smoke still spread to every floor of the building, likely because the door to the apartment was left open, and victims suffered from significant smoke inhalation, the city's fire department commissioner Daniel Nigro told reporters at a news briefing.
"Members found victims on every floor in stairwells and were taking them out in cardiac and respiratory arrest," he said.
Fire marshals had determined through physical evidence and accounts from residents the fire started in a portable electric heater in the apartment's bedroom, Nigro said. He added that the heat had been on in the apartment building and that the portable heater had been supplementing that heating.
Mayor Eric Adams is just one week into his new job of running the city, and is already confronting a major tragedy. The fire is the deadliest in NYC in decades…
On an otherwise quiet Sunday afternoon, a fire at a massive apartment complex in the Bronx has suddenly become the most deadly fire in the city in decades, casting a pall over the first weeks of Mayor Eric Adams' tenure.
So far, 19 people have been killed in the fire, including 9 children. Another 13 are hospitalized in critical condition.
Approximately 200 firefighters responded to the building on East 181st Street where the fire broke out around 1100ET Sunday. Initial reports said the fire was on the third floor of the 19-story building, with flames blowing out the windows, according to the AP.
Firefighters "found victims on every floor and were taking them out in cardiac and respiratory arrest," the fire commissioner said. "That is unprecedented in our city."
