The On-Going Political Saga: Boca National

The Political Saga of Boca National has reach new heights but the expected outcome remains the same…no deal!!!
Last week a proposed solution was brokered at the City Council by Councilmember Andy Thomson with all Council members' concurrence . Since then, the Beach and Park District has met to discuss and has now issued a response letter to the City with the District's conditions to 'close the deal' (see below). These conditions are scheduled to be discussed at the joint meeting between the City Council and the Beach and Park Commissioners next week.
The early reaction so far is that the District's response conditions are non-starters…that the District's response is 'dead on arrival' at the City Council.
So what else is new….
Let's face it…
The City Council wants complete control of the golf course design, construction and operation. They are not interested in any cooperation or interaction with the District. If this is not evident to you by now, than you must have had your head buried in the proverbial sand for the last two years.
The District, for its part, has demonstrated a lack of backbone, a lack of independence to set the stage and bring Boca National to life regardless of the City Council. The District has compromised its position in so many way that it is almost not measurable. The final straw was failing to raise millage to facilitate a revenue bond and move the course forward. Oh well….what's done is done….
My prediction: At next week's meeting, these amateur deal makers, these political neophytes, will 'hem and haw' and again result in a dismal failure at resolving the issues. Read the letter below and make up your own mind…

As a nine year member of the Board of Commissioners for the Greater Boca Raton Beach and Park District, I would like to speak only for myself regarding being a political neophyte. Guilty, as charged! I entered into this position to serve our community with no other agenda items on my radar. Unfortunately, recent projects have become political in nature, but I will continue to strive for service vs. personal gain.

Thank you Commissioner Vogelgesang. Painting with a broad brush often leave room for ambiguity. The operative words in your response are "continue to strive for service vs. personal gain." I applaud that sentiment but fear some, not all, of our local elected officials are more concerned about political gain than for their service to the community. Boca National should be planned, constructed and operated by the District as proposed especially now that the costs are in line with the City Council's concerns.

As a ten-year observer of the politics of development in Boca, I wonder if there aren't some systemic flaws in our system of governance that make it so difficult to reach consensus decisions. For example, why do we have an "independent" Beach and Park District? Why do we have an "independent" CRA with the same membership as the City Council? Why do we have a powerful bureaucrat running our city, rather than a powerful elected Mayor? Why do our rules of governance, e.g. our "sunshine" laws, make it more difficult to reach intelligent compromises on controversial issues? No City Council Member can cut a deal or even discuss a pending issue with another Council Member unless they are in front of a microphone. Seemingly simple decisions are hard to make and harder to implement– just look at the Wildflower saga. And compromises which would benefit Boca are harder to reach. Just look at the jurisdictional flap over Boca National or the coming fight over the Brightline rail station. We tend to blame poor governance on the quality of our political leaders. But maybe we also should take a look at the system under which they try and make and implement policy. Something's not working.
Alfred Zucaro November 7, 2019 At 2:22 pm
John, You raise incredibly interesting questions. The remedy however, starts with converting from a manager/council form of government to a strong mayor form of government. WPB did this in the late 1980s and early 1990s when its population was nearing 90,000 people. Boca is way past that growth pattern. Boca is ready for a strong mayor. That would give the resident a much greater voice in how this city is run. Residents can un-elect a strong mayor but they cannot un-elect a city manager. The city manager needs to go!!!

Q: I want to Automatized entry on HTML page I have two problems, I want to automatized a login and password entry on an HTML page
I wrote this code on RFW :
*** Variable ***
${USER}
${PSW}

*** Test Case ***
ENTER_ID    ${USER}    ${PSW}
Input Text       //input[@name="j_name"]    ${USER}
Input Text       //input[@name="j_password"]      ${PSW}

*** Keywords ***
ENTER_ID
[arguments]    ${myUSer}    ${myPSW}

${myUSER}=    Get Value From User    Please enter Name
${myPSW}=    Get Value From User    Please enter password

But on the HTML page, nothing is wrote by Robot. Log :
INFO : Typing text '' into text field '//input[@name="j_name"]'.
INFO : Typing text '' into text field '//input[@name="j_password"]'.

And also the log send me that
INFO : ${myUSER} = Paul
INFO : ${myPSW} = MyPassword

Variables used are myUSer and myPSW, it should be USER and PSW and I dont understand why
Thanks for helping me :)

A: This:
*** Variable ***
${USER}
${PSW}

means that two variables are creates, variable with name USER and variable with name PSW. But they are empty.
This:
*** Test Case ***
ENTER_ID    ${USER}    ${PSW}
Input Text       //input[@name="j_name"]    ${USER}
Input Text       //input[@name="j_password"]      ${PSW}

seems like incorrectly formatted test case. But even if you gave it a name and formatted it properly, you still aren't assigning to those variables USER and PSW by the time Input Text keywords are executed. That's because you're using them as arguments and in keyword:
ENTER_ID
    [arguments]    ${myUSer}    ${myPSW}
    ${myUSER}=    Get Value From User    Please enter Name
    ${myPSW}=    Get Value From User    Please enter password

there's no assignment into these two variables you're later using with Input Text keywords.

A working code would be:
*** Variables ***
${USER}
${PWD}

*** Test Cases ***
Input User And Pwd
    Ask For Credentials
    Input Text       //input[@name="j_name"]    ${USER}
    Input Text       //input[@name="j_password"]      ${PWD}

*** Keywords ***
Ask For Credentials
    ${user}=    Get Value From User    Please enter Name
    ${pwd}=    Get Value From User    Please enter password
    Set Suite Variable    ${USER}    ${user}
    Set Suite Variable    ${PWD}    ${pwd}

Set Suite Variable or Set Global Variable is necessary here, because simple Set Variable will create only local variables, but you want to assign to USER and PWD in a keyword but use them in a test case elsewhere.
Personally, I'd rather go for an option with a return value, that seems a bit more secure than working with suite or global variables:
*** Test Cases ***
Input User And Pwd
    ${credentials}=    Ask For Credentials
    Input Text       //input[@name="j_name"]    ${credentials.user}
    Input Text       //input[@name="j_password"]      ${credentials.pwd}

*** Keywords ***
Ask For Credentials
    ${user}=    Get Value From User    Please enter Name
    ${pwd}=    Get Value From User    Please enter password
    ${credentials} =    Create Dictionary    user=${user}    pwd=${pwd}
    [Return]    ${credentials}

By this time, you realise, you don't really need those USER and PWD variables at all (unless you wan't to use them for something more like setting default values).

Joaquin Phoenix-Starring JOKER Gets October 2019 Release Date
July 18, 2018 Rich Drees Movie News
Joker, the Todd Phillips-directed film that will see actor Joaquin Phoenix exploring the origins of the iconic Batman villain has gotten a spot on Warner Brothers release schedule. According to breaking reports, the film will bow in theaters October 4, 2019.
After being in development for some time at the studio, it was finally given a greenlight last week.
Warners describes the movie as an "exploration of a man disregarded by society [that] is not only a gritty character study, but also a broader cautionary tale." Phillips co-wrote the screenplay with Scott Silver.
The fall of 2019 is starting to shape up to be a busy one in terms of high-profile titles. Joker will be opening up the same weekend as Paramount's thriller Gemini Man starring Clive Owen, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Will Smith and Fox's "This doesn't at all sound like Hitchcock's Rear Window" The Woman in the Window with Amy Adams. The following week Disney will be bringing out Jungle Cruise, starring Dwayne Johnson, while Warner Brothers will have the drama The Goldfinch with Nicole Kidman and Finn Wolfhard. Additionally, Warners will have another superhero film out just four weeks after Joker's debut when the highly anticipated Wonder Woman 2 hits screens.
Interestingly, although the Wonder Woman sequel opens four weeks later, that film has already wrapped production and is heading into a long period of post-production to its visual effects heavy nature. Joker, on the other hand, won't get in front of cameras until later this year. That, and it's much more modest $55 million budget, speaks to the films smaller ambitions in terms of spectacle. Hopefully, Phillips can create as interesting a character as the studio synopsis above suggests the film will be. Although, with the Joker's origin so closely tied to his archnemesis Batman, it could be a tough job for the film to separate them from each other and still have a satisfactory story to tell. We will see.

What If Former Michigan And Ohio State Players Joined Forces To Make Their Own NFL Team?
April 5, 2018 by Billy George Leave a Comment
What has 19 national championships, ten Heisman trophy winners, 80 Big Ten titles, bitter hatred yet mutual respect, and 1,841 total wins? That, my friend, is the Ohio State-Michigan college football rivalry, which has produced a ton of NFL talent. In fact, as of the 2017-2018 season, 33 former Michigan Wolverines players and 42 former Ohio State players were on NFL rosters. Well, what would happen if all 75 of those players joined forces and created their own NFL team? Let's find out, shall we? Without further ado, below I have constructed the best two-deep roster possible for former participants in 'The Game'
Quarterback:Â Tom Brady, Cardale Jones
The Game features Tom Brady, arguably the greatest quarterback of all time under center. Brady is widely recognized as being one of the most clutch quarterbacks of all time and has a ton of accolades to back that up, being a five-time Super Bowl champion, four-time Super Bowl MVP, three-time NFL Most Valuable Player, and thirteen-time Pro Bowler etc.
Behind him is Cardale Jones who has proven throughout his career that he is a reliable backup.
Running back:Â Ezekiel Elliott, Carlos Hyde
At running back, The Game features two former Ohio State stars in Ezekiel Elliott and Carlos Hyde. Despite the fact that Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott was suspended for the first six games of the year, he and Hyde rushed for a combined 157.1 rushing yards per game in 2017. To put that in perspective, the Jacksonville Jaguarsled the NFL in 2017 with 140.2 rushing yards per game as an entire TEAM!
Wide Receiver: Michael Thomas, Devin Funchess, Ted Ginn Jr, Jalin Marshall, and Braxton Miller
In Michael Thomas, The Game has arguably the NFL's best possession receiver who was sixth in the league with 1,245 receiving yards. It also has big-bodied Devin Funchess (840 receiving yards) and speedster Tedd Ginn Jr. (787 receiving yards) – both of which present big problems for secondaries.
Tight End: Nick Vannett, Jeff Heuerman
Although Nick Vannett and Jeff Heuerman provide solid blocking and are legit receiving threats, their 21 combined receptions for 266 yards and three touchdowns last season weren't all that impressive. However, you better believe that those numbers would increase with Tom Brady under center.Â
Offensive Tackle:Â Taylor Lewan, Taylor Decker, Darryl Baldwin, Chase Farris, Erik Magnuson
Led by rookie Pro-Bowl Selection Taylor Lewan, The Game has a respectable set of offensive tackles. Taylor Decker started in all 16 games as a rookie in 2016, but due to him undergoing shoulder surgery had to sit out for 2017. Nevertheless, the talent's still there.
Offensive Guard:Â Andrew Norwell, Kyle Kalis, Patrick Omameh, Ben Braden
Anchored by All-Pro guard Andrew Norwell and an ultra-reliable Patrick Omameh, who started in all 13 games he saw action in last year, The Games guards aren't so shabby. Kyle Kalis would make a solid option, too.
Center: Pat Elflein, Corey Linsley, Â
Pat Elflein started in every game of his rookie season for the Vikings, making the 2017 PFWA All-Rookie Team. Ironically, three years earlier, Corey Linsley made the PFWA All-Rookie Team as well and is the proven leader for the Packers up front.Â
Defensive End:Â Joey Bosa, Cameron Heyward, Brandon Graham, Frank ClarkÂ
I don't know if there's a rivalry in all of college football that has produced a better collection of defensive ends than 'The Game'. Highlighted by pro-bowlers Joey Bosa and Cameron Heyward, the combination of those two and Michigan alumn Brandon Graham and Frank Clark recorded a combined total of 194 tackles and 44 sacks last year.Â
To put that in perspective, only four out of the 32 NFL TEAMS AS A WHOLE produced more sacks in the 2017-2018 season!
Defensive Tackle:Â Adolphus Washington, Michael Bennett, Ryan Glasgow, Willie HenryÂ
Defensive tackle is by far the weakest of all positions for The Game. Adolphus Washington, Michael Bennett, Ryan Glasgow, and Willie Henry started in just 15 games combined in the 2017-2018 season.
But you better believe that with four stud defensive ends, the two that weren't starting at their normal position could fill that void.Â
Linebacker:Â Ryan Shazier, Darron Lee, John Simon, Joshua Perry, Raekwon McMillan, Curtis Grant
Despite Ryan Shazier's late-season injury, he is included on this list because he played throughout the entire regular season, having a solid, 89-tackle season, and putting up similar numbers to fellow Ohio State alumn Darren Lee. John Simon and Raekwon McMillan would also provide respectable skillsets at that position.Â
Safety: Malcolm Jenkins, Malik Hooker, Vonn Bell, Kurt Coleman
With veterans, Malcolm Jenkins and Kurt Coleman coupled with younger rising stars like Malik Hooker and Vonn Bell, The Game has a pretty good group of safeties. Ohio State has become defensive back-U over the last decade or so.Â
Cornerback:Â Marshon Lattimore, Bradley Roby, Doran Grant, Gareon Conley, Eli Apple, Channing Stribling, Jourdan Lewis, Jeremy Clark
Having two cornerbacks like Marshon Lattimore and Bradley Roby on your roster would be an NFL coach's dream come true. Veteran Bradley Roby could teach a younger and arguably more talented Lattimore a lot, and Lattimore – who led all rookies in interceptions – could put some wide receivers in check.
The verdict:Â
I imagine that with Tom Brady, Ezekiel Elliott and Carlos Hyde, the stable of wide receivers, the dominance on the defensive line, and all of the play-makers in the secondary, not only would The Game win in dominant fashion versus most teams in the NFL, it would produce a team that could easily win the Super Bowl.
The NFL talent produced by The Game is by far the best of any and every other rivalry, which further iterates the fact that there's no better rivalry in college football.

BREAKING: Ohio State Lands the Country's No. 1 Tight End
July 17, 2017 by Billy George Leave a Comment
Ohio State Buckeyes' head coach Urban Meyer has always been excellent at recruiting. A preliminary glance at the amount of his former players are on NFL rosters is evidence of that in itself. Well, add another diamond to his treasure trove of talent, as Meyer and the Buckeyes landed the country's No. 1 Â tight end, Jeremy Ruckert, Monday afternoon.
The 6-5.5 238 lbs prospect out of Lindenhurst, NY was a star at 'The Opening', bolstering him from the country's No. 52 ranked prospect to No. 11 in the 247sports composite rankings, and earning him a fifth star. Ruckert is the third five-star prospect to commit to Ohio State in the 2018 class, and he certainly won't be the last.
He is a crucial pick up for the Buckeyes, as, although they have the nation's top-ranked recruiting class at this particular moment, the one thing it lacks is people to throw the football to. In came Ruckert to help fill that void.
So, what exactly do we get in Ruckert? Well, you get a big-bodied tight end with the athleticism of a wide receiver, whose combination of route-running abilities, size, great hands, and his propensity to make secondaries look bad make him a five-star prospect.
"Updated rankings got me my 5th star.. #1 TE and #11 Overall player in the nation!! #blessed", Ruckert said on a Twitter post last Monday.Â
Yes, indeed Ruckert is blessed. However, he's not nearly as blessed as Ohio State is after receiving a commitment from him. If the rankings remain the same (or even close to the same) come national signing day, Ruckert will be the highest ranked tight end recruit Ohio State has landed in 247sports.com history.
He is a big reason why Ohio State's 2018 recruiting class will end Alabama's six-year streak of having the No. 1 class in the country.
Until next time, God bless and GO BUCKS!

Things That Have Happened Since Michigan Last Beat Ohio State In Football Â
July 14, 2017 by Billy George 1 Comment
When you're a fan of arguably the most successful program in the history of college football, the Ohio State Buckeyes, you have a lot to brag about. However, for every single success story that is published or brought up in conversation about the men who have essentially made the sport of college football a secular religion in Ohio over the course of 100+ years, you have a Michigan naysayer around to remind you that the Womanrines have more total wins, more conference titles, more national titles, and have more wins in the rivalry.
For their sake alone, I have written this article. First and foremost, I would like to mention that, as of today, it has been 2,057 days since Michigan has beaten Ohio State in football. Their last win versus the Buckeyes came in 2011 when Ohio State was in between head coaches and had a true freshman at quarterback.
That was the year Luke Fickell was Ohio State's interim head coach and the Buckeyes had their first losing record in 23 years. Of course that happened to be the year the Wolverines finally topped the Buckeyes (for the first time since 2003). Since then, however, be it due to controversial calls or utter dominance, the Wolverines have failed to beat their cross-state counterparts.
In the time since, a whole heck of a lot of things have happened. Thanks to Wikipedia and onthisday.com, I was able to concoct a small list of such things. Without further ado, here are some of the things that have happened since the Wolverines' last victory over the Buckeyes on November 26, 2011:
December 18, 2011 – Withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq: The last United States troops withdrew from Iraq under the terms of the U.S.–Iraq Status of Forces Agreement.

November 3, 2014: New building, 1 World Trade Center, opens in New York City.
December 17, 2014: President Obama announces a restoration of full diplomatic relations with Cuba for the first time since 1961.

August 12–22, 2016: Louisiana floods and prolonged rainfall in southern parts of the U.S. state of Louisiana resulted in catastrophic flooding that submerged thousands of houses and businesses.
August 13, 2016: Milwaukee riots: A riot began in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, sparked by the fatal police shooting of 23-year-old Sylville Smith.
November 8, 2016: Donald Trump wins the 2016 presidential election

May 10, 2017: President Donald Trump shares classified information about ISIS plot with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Ambassador Sergey Kislyak in the Oval Office
June 2, 2017: Trump announces the US is withdrawing from the Paris Climate Agreement
July 5, 2017: 101 people reported shot, 15 killed in Chicago, Illinois over 4th July weekend
It's safe to say that for Wolverines fans, a win versus Ohio State is long overdo. This explains why so many of them were so upset about the double overtime fourth down spot in the 2016 edition of "The Game".  Nevertheless, it has still been over 2,000 days since Michigan has beaten Ohio State in football.
This list could have literally been 100 pages long.

Training & Safety Air Safety Institute Accident Analysis Featured Accidents Current altimeter settings really matter
Current altimeter settings really matter
SEA03FA028
On the night of January 18, 2003, the pilot of a Piper Cherokee learned a hard lesson about correct altimeter settings when his airplane hit the water off the coast of Orcas Island, Washington. He was seriously injured while one of his passengers died. The airplane was destroyed.
Just prior to taking off from Sequim Valley Airport, the pilot set the altimeter to the field elevation instead of setting the current barometric pressure in the pressure window. After contacting air traffic control, the pilot was informed of radar contact, given the current altimeter setting of 30.18, and told he was passing through 2,500 feet. The pilot then adjusted his altimeter to read 2,500 feet (30.50 in the pressure window) to match the ATC altitude.
Approaching Orcas Island Airport, the pilot noticed a layer of low-level fog and flew over the airport from south to north. He continued to maneuver and started a descent, looking for a place to get below the fog. While his altimeter read 600 feet, he continued descending over the water. Because he could not see the surface, the pilot turned on the landing light and his passenger remarked that the water looked close. Immediately, after the left wing hit the water, the pilot pulled up rapidly and added full power. The airplane did not have enough time to climb, striking the water, and cartwheeling into the channel.
At the time of the accident, the private pilot had accumulated 292 hours total time and 28 hours at night.
The NTSB determined the cause of this accident was the pilot's failure to maintain clearance from the water and his failure to reset the altimeter to the local barometric pressure. Contributing factors were fog and the night conditions.
The barometric setting of 30.50 inches results in an altitude difference of 330 feet when compared to the local altimeter setting of 30.17.
Altimeters have an adjustable pressure window for a reason. FAR 91.121 specifies that when operating below 18,000 msl, cruising altitude will be maintained by reference to an altimeter that is set to:
The current reported altimeter setting of a station along the route and within 100 nautical miles of the aircraft;
If there is no station within the area prescribed above, the current reported altimeter setting of an appropriate available station; or
In the case of an aircraft not equipped with a radio, the elevation of the departure airport or an appropriate altimeter setting available before departure.
This pilot had multiple opportunities to prevent this accident. His departure airport had an ASOS, he was given the barometric pressure by ATC, and two nearby airports also had ASOS and ATIS reports available.
It is important to realize that even the smallest checklist item can have a huge effect on a flight's outcome. Remember that routine procedures, such as setting your altimeter, are the easiest to overlook. However, they are the most important and can make the difference in the safe outcome of a flight.

Saudi to pay millions for Sudan to accelerate normalisation with Israel
Sources in Sudan and Egypt have revealed that Saudi Arabia is to pay $335 million to the US in order to accelerate normalisation of ties between the government in Khartoum and Israel, Safa news agency reported on Wednesday.
According to media reports, Saudi Arabia's de facto ruler, Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman, intervened after US President Donald Trump set a condition that Sudan has to pay compensation to American victims of terror before removing its name from the US list of states which sponsor terrorism. The compensation being paid is to go to the families and victims of the 1998 US Embassy bombing in East Africa and the attack on the USS Cole, a guided-missile destroyer, off the coast of Yemen in 2000.
On Monday, Trump tweeted: "GREAT news! New government of Sudan, which is making great progress, agreed to pay $335 MILLION to US terror victims and families. Once deposited, I will lift Sudan from the State Sponsors of Terrorism list. At long last, JUSTICE for the American people and BIG step for Sudan!"
Sudan has agreed previously to normalise ties with Israel in return for the removal of its name from the terrorism list, but its agreement was hit by Trump's condition about compensation. However, the sources who spoke to Al-Araby Al-Jadeed said that the money would not be paid by Sudan itself as Sudanese Prime Minister Abdullah Hamdok had said, but by Riyadh.

They pointed out that there is a complete deal about the issue which includes support from Saudi Arabia and the UAE for Sudan which would start immediately after the latter signs up to the so-called Abraham Accords. A meeting between Sudanese officials on one side and American, Israeli, UAE and Saudi officials on the other apparently set out the details of the deal, its implementation stages and the pledges of the mediators.
Ominously, the deal also includes details about how they will deal with the inevitable popular protests in Sudan after the government declares its normalisation of ties with Israel.
Khartoum's removal from the US terrorism list is a major step in Sudan's efforts to reintegrate into the international community after ousting President Omar Al-Bashir last year.

Understanding the Future of Intercultural Support
Johannes Klemeyer has always had a passion for foreign cultures, and he's always wanted to be an entrepreneur. When he got the opportunity to combine the two, he didn't hesitate to take it. Together with Steffen Henkel, he co-founded crossculture academy (Germany's first online worldwide intercultural support site) which later merged with Globiana.
Johannes has plenty of personal experience with the cross-cultural lifestyle — he has a master's degree in American Literature and Eastern Slavic Languages, he used to work as a journalist in Moscow writing for newspapers back home in Germany, he has family spread out in different countries, and his wife grew up abroad. He sums it up neatly when he says: "I've always been dealing with different cultures."
So, needless to say, by now, some nine years into his journey of developing effective intercultural support, Johannes has gained keen insights into how we live and work across cultures. In this interview, he talks about the future of intercultural support, what the drivers of change are and how those changes are impacting employers, assignees, and support providers alike.
There are several big drivers of change at this moment in time. Each on its own is enough to have an impact, and all together they are creating a major shift in the landscape of global mobility:
General globalization
Generational shift in the global workforce
Type of deployment
Globalization might be a bit of an overused catchall-phrase by now, but it nonetheless describes pretty accurately what is going on: people are moving, traveling, working and exchanging cultural traits across borders to an ever greater extent.
There is an ongoing generational shift — millennials are estimated to be 35 percent of the global workforce in 2020, by 2025 that number is estimated to be 75 percent. Millennials have grown up online. They not only have a different relationship with technology compared to previous generations, but they are also more global in their way of life. Johannes notes, however, that the latter doesn't necessarily mean they have a deeper understanding of foreign cultures. What he sees as truly notable is that they require a different format of support. They want direct and flexible access to information. They want digital solutions.
Along with a generational shift in the workforce, there is also a shift in how global talent is deployed. Johannes says: "We see that shoulder assignments — shorter assignments, ranging from six months to a year — are becoming increasingly popular. In many instances, shoulder assignments are used as part of development programs, allowing for skills development in different environments. We also see commuter assignments, as well as virtual teams working together across the globe." As it turns out, Globiana itself is a prime example of a global multicultural team collaborating across borders — most of the team works remotely, from all corners of the world.
Another driver of change is the companies themselves as they are modifying the way they support their globally mobile talent. Global mobility budgets are shrinking and companies are looking for more affordable solutions.
What about Digitalization?
You can't discuss the changing landscape without acknowledging that technology itself plays a role in how intercultural support is evolving. However, some worry that digitalization is making support solutions too impersonal and thus ineffective.
Johannes feels strongly that this is not the case. He says: "Barring technical difficulties, digital support is a boon. More people have quality global lifestyle support available now than ever before." He goes on to say: "It's not how you offer support, but the quality of how you do it. Video calls with skilled trainers or coaches can be just as effective as in-person sessions. Combine that with 24/7 access to high-quality webinars, recorded video, e-learning courses, etc, and I feel like an individual's experience is almost more personal now. And more accessible." That doesn't mean he thinks face-to-face trainings will vanish. There are many occasions where Johannes feels they make the most sense, team building for example, or when prepping a whole family for an international assignment.
Consider it an Insurance Policy — Protect your Investment
As the responsibility of obtaining intercultural support falls more to the individual, it's important to note that there is still a big role for the employer to play — in making sure their assignees know the professional and personal benefits of intercultural support and, ideally, providing access to high-quality support — whether as part of a traditional benefits package or through providing support options for the lumpsum assignee.
When asked about why companies should be assertive in their promotion of intercultural support to their global talent, Johannes points out something you hear often in this field: "You don't know what you don't know, and the consequences of the unawareness can be quite severe." It's a sentiment worth bringing up as the damage caused by uninformed global talent conducting business on a company's behalf can span everything from mild embarrassment, to a lost business deal, or even long-term damage to business relationships. Likewise, a failed assignment because of cultural adjustment issues, is a costly setback for any company, and disruptive for the assignee.
Johannes says: "In its simplest form, I want people to think of intercultural support as an insurance policy, as part of a risk mitigation strategy." He also points out that, in a more developed stage, it serves as a tool for talent development and enrichment, ultimately benefiting the employer and the assignee alike. He says: "The better functioning you are in your new environment, the more you'll bring to the table, the better work you'll produce. The sooner you adapt to your new environment, the sooner success will come, and the sooner you bring value."

As China Covid-19 cases rise, millions more placed under lockdown
Travellers wear face masks at a train station following the outbreak of the coronavirus disease in Beijing, China, January 13, 2021. — Reuters pic
BEIJING, Jan 13 — China posted its biggest daily jump in Covid cases in more than five months today, stepping up containment measures that have seen four cities put under lockdown, as the world's second biggest economy scrambles to head off a new wave of infections.
Most of the new cases were reported near the capital, Beijing, but a province in the far northeast also saw a rise in infections, official data showed, amid a resurgence that has seen more than 28 million people put under home quarantine.
While the Chinese city of Wuhan was the initial epicenter of the novel coronavirus, which emerged there in late 2019, China had in recent months largely kept it at bay.
Today, the National Health Commission reported a total of 115 new confirmed cases on the mainland, compared with 55 the previous day, the highest daily increase since July 30.
It said 107 of the new cases were local infections. Hebei, the province that surrounds Beijing, accounted for 90 cases, while northeastern Heilongjiang province reported 16 new cases.
The wave of infections is likely to put a damper on next month's Lunar New Year holiday, when hundreds of millions of people typically travel to their home towns. Far fewer are expected to hit the road this year, and many provinces have asked migrant workers to stay put during the break.
A "massive" resurgence is unlikely during the holiday if control and prevention measures are enforced properly, Feng Zijian, deputy director of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, told a media briefing.
The spike in new cases comes as a World Health Organisation team of experts investigating the origins of the pandemic is set to arrive tomorrow in Wuhan. The team will have to spend 14 days in quarantine, NHC spokesman Mi Feng said.
Much remains unknown about the origins of the coronavirus and China has been sensitive about accusations of a cover-up that delayed its initial response and allowed the virus to spread. A health expert affiliated with the WHO said previously that expectations should be "very low" that the team would reach a conclusion from its trip.
Testing capacity
Hebei province has put three cities — Shijiazhuang, Xingtai and Langfang — into lockdown, while Beijing city authorities have stepped up screening and prevention measures.
China has administered more than 10 million vaccine doses, NHC official Wang Bin said today, and has ramped up testing capacity to 12.55 million people per day, or 10 times the level last March.
Heilongjiang province today declared a Covid-19 emergency. The city of Suihua, which borders the provincial capital Harbin, put its 5.2 million people under lockdown.
Most of the cases in Heilongjiang have been found in Wangkui county, under Suihua's jurisdiction. Tieli, a city of about 300,000 that borders Suihua, said today it would ban people and vehicles from leaving for three days as part of new Covid-19 prevention measures.
The number of new asymptomatic cases, which China does not classify as confirmed cases, fell to 38 from 81 cases a day earlier. Seven of those were reported in Jilin, a north-eastern province bordering Heilongjiang.
The total number of confirmed Covid-19 cases in mainland China now stands at 87,706, while the death toll remained unchanged at 4,634. — Reuters

Green turtles are one the largest turtles that visits the Whitsundays. They also are the most common to see when sailing with Whitsunday Catamarans and are often spotted while both snorkelling and sailing. The aboriginals knew that when you cooked a green turtle their fat turned an unusual bright green, which is where they actually get their name, rather than from their external colour.
Green sea turtles are an amazingly majestic creature that cruises effortlessly through the Whitsunday waters. They move around by using small flaps of the powerful flippers propel this them around the ocean currents. If you are lucky enough to swim with any turtle we guarantee it will leave a lasting impression as they cruise around the waters with you. They are generally pretty docile and will hang out with snorkellers and swimmers as long as they don't feel threatened. They have been known to stay around as they forage for food for a long time.
A mature green turtle can grow to a carapace, or shell, length of more than one metre and weigh on average 150kg. The green turtle has green fat, created by its diet of seagrass.
Green turtles occur in seaweed-rich coral reefs and inshore seagrass pastures in tropical and subtropical areas of Australia. Large numbers of greens occur in suitable feeding areas along the south-west coast of the Gulf of Carpentaria. The entire Great Barrier Reef area is an important feeding area for turtles which nest locally, as well as for those which nest in other regions or countries. They are often spotted at Langford Spit and Tongue Bay in the Whitsundays.
Adult green turtles feed mostly on seaweeds and seagrasses although immature green turtles are carnivorous. They will feed on corals, plants, animals and insects. For this reason, mature sea turtles are often spotted in seagrass pastures and juveniles on the coral reefs.
Green turtles nesting along the Western Australian coast migrate from feeding grounds in Indonesia, Queensland, Northern Territory and Western Australia, only coming to Australia to lay their eggs. They make long migrations between feeding grounds and nesting beaches, returning to the beaches where they themselves hatched... Migrations recorded from nesting beaches in the southern Great Barrier Reef have exceeded 2,600km but the average migration is about 400km.
Nesting occurs between late November and January in southern Queensland. It takes a female green turtle 30-40 years to reach maturity, after which they will begin to mate and reproduce... In general, female green turtles lay about 115 round, ping-pong ball sized, parchment-shelled eggs per clutch, which they lay in holes they dig in the sand... Each nesting season she may return to the beach to nest an average of five times at fortnightly intervals.


Anthocyans, comprising anthocyanins and their aglycones (anthocyanidins), are a class of flavonoids that are widely distributed in fruits, vegetables and beverages. In this study, we investigated the effects of cyanidin (anthocyanidin), and cyanidin 3-glucoside and cyanidin 3-rutinoside (anthocyanins) on the transport of rhodamine 123, a fluorescent cationic dye often used as a substrate for P-glycoprotein, in human renal proximal tubular cell line HK-2. The steady-state accumulation of rhodamine 123 in HK-2 cells significantly increased in the presence of cyanidin as well as verapamil, a typical P-glycoprotein inhibitor. On the other hand, cyanidin 3-glucoside and cyanidin 3-rutinoside, but not cyanidin, significantly decreased the initial uptake of rhodamine 123 via an influx transporter that is inhibited by cimetidine, a pan-inhibitor of organic cation transporters. In contrast to co-incubation with cyanidin 3-glucoside and cyanidin 3-rutinoside, pre-incubation with the two anthocyanins had no effect on the initial uptake of rhodamine 123 in HK-2 cells. These findings suggest that cyanidin, but not its glycosides, inhibits P-glycoprotein-mediated efflux of rhodamine 123, while the two anthocyanins, but not their aglycone, decrease the influx transporter that is involved in the initial uptake of rhodamine 123 in HK-2 cells.

Final Fantasy Tactics Dev Working on New Mobile Titles
StewShearer
1 POSTED: 19 Sep 2013 07:20
Image Source: IGN
Final Fantasy Tactics writer/director Yasumi Matsuno is collaborating with Playdek on two new mobile games.
You could probably say that Yasumi Matsuno has already made a fairly substantial mark on the role-playing genre. In addition to working as the director on classics like Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen and Tactics Ogre, he also wrote and directed Final Fantasy Tactics, Vagrant Story and worked on Final Fantasy XII. In short, the man could pretty much call it day and still have accomplished more than many others in the game industry. That being the case, Matsuno is pressing forward with new projects geared toward the mobile market.
Working in collaboration with digital tabletop developer Playdek, Matsuno will be developing the lore and story for two games taking place in the new fantasy world of Rasfalia. The first, Unsung Story, will be a digital card game due for release next year. The second will be a tactical strategy game where the player takes on the role of an ordinary soldier fighting in a conflict between nine Rasfalian countries, each with different races, cultures and religions.
His role in these titles will be less managerial than in prior projects. "In the past, I was deeply involved as director of games," he said. "But this time I wanted to participate in the project as an original story game creator." He went on to explain that while he likes making games for traditional platforms he has recently enjoyed playing on mobile platforms and would like to explore them as a developer. "I thought this [collaboration with Playdek] is going to be a perfect match. I appreciate the quality of the mobile games being released in the U.S." Despite Matsuno's focus on mobile however, there is a chance that these new titles could find homes on consoles and handhelds at some point in the future. "We're creating our core engine to be platform agnostic," said Playdek CEO Joel Goodman. "We do plan on putting it in as many gamers hands as possible."

Playdek?!
I don't think that could possibly be better news.

Sure do wish he'd make some real games instead of mobile games.

Meh. Call me when Tactics A3DS finally happens.
Square putting their chips in to try and compete with Hearthstone?

huh, interesting. What I really wish would happen is Matsuno finally finishing the Ogre Battle Saga. Still, even a mobile game by him would probably be great. His only dud was FFXII and that's because he left halfway through.
Lo Flying Frying Pan
I remember when the idea of mobile used to generally include handhelds ... my 3DSXL sure could use some attention Mr Mitsuno.

Legislators To Consider Open Records Bill
Wednesday, January 1st 2020, 5:01 PM CST
By: Aaron Brilbeck
Oklahoma City, OK - A State legislator is calling for more government transparency from everyone but the state legislature.
Senator Ron Sharp (R) Shawnee admits the state does a horrible job of getting public documents to the public. He says his bill would change that.
Senate Bill 1154 would require public agencies, anything from police departments to prisons to city council members, to fulfill open records requests within 30-days of when those requests are made.
"There is no limitation as to the amount of time in which freedom of information act, open records request can be responded to. This places a 30-day restriction on that that they have to respond." Sharp said, "We've had so many complaints from the public that they've had requests that were made two, three, four years ago which there has been absolutely no reply."
And if public officials don't comply, "Well the consequences are going to court. And of course suing and asking for some kind of compensation." Sharp said.
While state lawmakers will be considering the bill, it won't apply to them. The legislature has exempted itself from open records requests. Well again if we could go through and redact personal information…It would take a tremendous amount of time for the legislature to redact that information." Sharp said.
We pointed out, District attorneys, the OSBI, the DOC, and police departments could all make that same argument.
"We can definitely look upon that," Sharp said.

Recently, with the explosion of Blockchain-based technologies that enable a decentralized approach to open and durable hosting, governance and even monetization. The social network decided to rethink its trajectory and finance the project of opening and decentralization of the platform.

Battle of Bunker Hill: The American Revolutionary War
Despite being a British tactical victory, the actions of Revolutionaries here boosted morale among the American Colonies
The Bunker Hill monument, in Boston, Massachusetts.
What Was the Battle of Bunker Hill?
The Battle of Bunker Hill took place on June 17th, 1775, at Charleston Peninsula, Massachusetts, near Boston, although the majority of the combat took place on the nearby Breed's Hill. This was during the Siege of Boston, which occurred during the earliest stages of the historical American Revolutionary War (1775 - 1783). The factors leading up to this particular battle were the Americans receiving intelligence that British troops were trying to keep control of the city of Boston and its seaports. These seaports were important to the British, as their ships could bring in reinforcement troops and supplies. The British were aiming to take over Breed's Hill and Bunker Hill so as to achieve a strategic advantage, though the American forces firmly intended to stand and defend these hills.
Who Fought at Bunker Hill?
The combatants during this war were the British troops that were attached to the Boston garrison, and troops from what would become the American Continental Army. The leaders in the battle included Major General William Howe, who led the British up the hill against the Americans. The American Continentals had Colonel William Prescott as their leader. The British had Major John Pitcairn as the commander of their troops that began fighting at Lexington, which had marked the beginnings of the Revolutionary War. Israel Putnam was the General in charge of the Americans. The sizes of the armies were 2,400 troops on the British side, against an American Continental force made up of 1,500 troops.
What Happened during the Battle?
The British Grenadiers, battalions, and light infantry companies of men wore coats that were red in color, and headgear of their respective companies, including tricorne caps and hats and miter caps with bearskin fronts. They were armed with bayonets and muskets, and they also had light guns and the support of heavy guns that were with the fleet in the harbor. The Continentals, on the other hand, were not heavily armed, and they were low on ammunition. Armed with only muskets and any other firearms they could get, with some light guns and bayonets, they were prepared to take a stand nonetheless. The Americans hurriedly began to build a redoubt on Breed's Hill on June 16th, 1775 during the night, and by morning the fortification was complete. Part of the British naval force in the harbor, a sentry on His Majesty's Ship Lively observed the Americans presence there, and the British opened fire on them in quick order. They did this to prevent a flank attack, but few troops were mobilized to assume forward positions on Breed's Hill. The British on the other side, under the command of Howe, moved to the southern shores of the peninsula, in order to allow the light infantry to attack the American line present on the sea shore. They should have assumed a position to the rear of the Americans, but it seemed like they discounted chances of the Americans resisting a frontal attack, or were overconfident of their troops' abilities to make one themselves.
The British were considered to be the winners of the Battle of Bunker Hill as they managed to drive the Americans away from the Charlestown Peninsula, although they incurred heavy losses. However, they were aided by the fact that the ammunition of the Americans became exhausted, thus forcing the army to retreat from the peninsula. The British did not pursue them vigorously. The casualties of this battle stood at 1,150 killed and wounded for the British, and American casualties stood at 450 both killed and wounded.
What Was the Significance of the Battle of Bunker Hill?
This battle was important because it was the very first "strategically imperative" battle in the war for American Independence. This battle affected the overall war, as it marked the end of the American Political Revolution in a wake of the armed conflict. This also marked the ultimate rejection of British Parliamentary legitimacy over the American colonists in governing their thirteen colonies devoid of any American representation. A commemorative monument had its cornerstone laid on the site on the battle's 50th anniversary, and a statue of Continental Army Colonel William Prescott was later erected for his valiant efforts in the fight. To save dwindling ammunition, he famously told his men to hold their fire on the British until they were close enough to see the "whites of their eyes". Today, the location and a Bunker Hill Museum are maintained by the National Park Service as part of the Boston National Historic Park.
The Battle of Bunker Hill took place on June 17th, 1775, at Charleston Peninsula, Massachusetts, near Boston, although the majority of the combat took place on the nearby Breed's Hill. This was during the Siege of Boston, which occurred during the earliest stages of the historical American Revolutionary War (1775 - 1783). The factors leading up to this particular battle were the Americans receiving intelligence that British troops were trying to keep control of the city of Boston and its seaports.

With the war of 1870 and the defeat of the country, French society was won over by a feeling of humiliation and the desire for revenge.
Such a state of mind shows in this David the promise of a France which one day will overthrow, despite its weakness, the Prussian Goliath, like the young shepherd of Israel who, with the sole help of his sling, brought down the enemy giant.
So the sculpture was immediately a huge success:
the plaster executed in Rome, where the young artist finished his training, earned him the Legion of Honor, and was commissioned in bronze by the State in 1872, then placed in the Musée du Luxembourg - the museum of living artists - from 1874.
It became one of the most widely disseminated images in illustrated newspapers, and was so popular that it was published in small size and in six different sizes by the founder Barbedienne.
At the turn of 1870, Antonin Mercié embodied the young generation of French sculptors who wanted to give their figures a more vibrant expression at the heart of classical teaching.
He seeks this alliance between scholarly composition and nervous modeling in the great models of the Florentine Renaissance:
hence the large and beautiful curves of the arm extended by the movement of the sword, of the bent leg, the grace of David's movement which invites the spectator to turn around the different planes which gradually modulate the space.
Between modern classicism and explicit realism, Mercié finds an original path.

The debaler machine is the first piece of machinery in our standard PET washing line. Generally, PET bottles will arrive at washing plants in baled form, compacted bundles of plastic bottles tied together by metal wires. These bales must first be "busted" so the bottles can flow freely onto the belt conveyor where it is transmitted onto the next piece of equipment.
If a debaler machine is not commissioned, the PET bottles bales must be manually opened and placed onto the conveyor. This option, which requires the addition of 1-2 employees is suitable for countries where manual labor is relatively cheap. For countries where the cost of manual is a concern, our debaler machine can break entire bales of PET bottles using slow moving hooks that grapple onto wires used tie the bales together. Entire bales of plastic bottles can be dropped directly into the debaler's vertical feeder using a fork lift or similar machinery.

Different people have different methods and ways of enjoying themselves. Some are into sports while the others are having enough by enjoying a cigarette. However, a cigarette can be dull and quite plain sometimes and you want to up the ante; you want to try something new and different. Why not using the pipes, instead?
The practice of pipe smoking has gone back to the old-school way years ago before people start enjoying the plain rituals of cigarette enjoyment. In the old days, people preferred the tobacco only without the addition of other substances. For them, the taste and the hit of the tobacco alone were enough to create a nice sensation and enjoyment – at least for them and their part. That's why smoking pipe was very common and quite popular a long time ago and it seems that the trend is back again.
You see, falling into the same routine and activities can lead to boredom and you are no longer enjoying the sensation anymore. Sure, a cigarette smoking may look simple and fun but then again, there is no challenge about it. There is no new practice or implementation that you can do to create a sense of pleasure and enjoyment. Your brain and your body may require you to smoke but it will be a shame when you can't really enjoy it 100%.
But there is no need to worry as there are now modern ways and systems to enjoy the smoke – at least, you are given the options to choose the different smoking apparatus for your leisure. If you are familiar with the name dry pipe or water pipe or even a vaporizer then you are pretty close. These are the new technologies and apparatus that can make your smoking moment different and new – and smoking can be fun and pleasurable without being fussy or complicated.

However, you should also know the proper way to clean the pipe. After all, your pipe needs cleaning and if you fail doing so, it can affect your smoking enjoyment in many ways.

As the result, not only the pipe will be less hygienic, it will look dirty and unappealing.
In order to clean the glass pipe, you can always boil it. Wait, won't the glass break when boiled in a high heat? Not really, if you do it right. In some unique design, the pipe cleaner or brush can't reach some of the difficult areas. When you boil the pipe, the heat can remove the resin effectively. To do it perfectly, you need to cover the pipe first with water completely. Use a pot to do it. Make sure that you have removed any trapped air bubbles by tilting the item back and forth. When the pipe has been submerged with water, heat it on a medium heat and wait until it boils. Make sure that the resin is completely removed and stop it.
The second method is to use the alcohol. Mix two parts of alcohol and one part of salt to soak the pipe. You can mix the alcohol and salt in a plastic bag and then put the pipe inside it. Shake it well to remove all the remaining resin. This trick should be working well.
