Ever since I used to be a baby I've loved Christmas. Different areas have totally different regulations and the professional will analysis these rules and understand how they influence the design ideas that you've got. When you visit an architect, the professional will hearken to your wants and depending on the location of your plot and the local building codes, he/she is going to come up with a design of your home. Before the skilled could make a drawing of your house he/she has to do lots of research. You may get baubles very cheaply and attributable to their shiny glow will make an enormous impression to any tree even when used sparingly. You can, for instance mix citrus hues like lime inexperienced or lemon yellow or even orange for creating a extremely bright/cheery look into such type of schemes. It's a type of holidays which may be loved not solely on the actual day but for weeks and even months prior.
This time of 12 months you'll be able to decide up Christmas tree decorating ideas from nearly wherever, they're on Tv, in magazines and soon you'll see them popping up in people's windows. 3. You may also consider experimenting with any complementary shade scheme that nicely meshes opposite to each other on the colour wheel. This should develop a really analogous shade scheme in your kitchen. Listed below are some suggestions for selecting the best shade on your kitchen. 4. Just said before, decide colours which might be just subsequent to at least one anther on the colour wheel. 2. As you shop for suitable paints, take alongside a small notebook and samples of fabrics, wallpapers, or counter top as effectively because the cupboard colors that you'll be utilizing throughout the kitchen. That makes nice sense especially when neutral colors include contemporary, but monochromatic look. As for an occasion, a typical country kitchen may be lavishly painted in comfortable pink and green for reaching an eye-interesting and complementary look. Along these traces, you'll use the first color in 60% of your kitchen room and its walls.
1. Keep the color proportions within balanced control as you design your kitchen's coloration scheme. The skilled should visit the development site regularly and make sure that the contractor is following the design on the plan. The professional should advice you on the best design that it is best to go for. The professional has to research on the foundations and regulations of development in the world that you are planning of constructing your home. These are a number of the roles of an architect in the construction of your house. If that is the first time that you are undertaking a development undertaking you most certainly haven't come across architects. That is what architects are known for. Christmas tree lights are a necessity so get some good ones. I used to make use of some very fragile ones and it was heart breaking to listen to them smash on the flooring. Baubles come in all shapes and sizes, my very own preferences are the star and ball formed ones.
Lately chocolate comes in all types of sizes and shapes. I feel nowadays too many individuals are involved with the natural tendency of Fir timber to shed their needle like leaves. Many individuals suppose that the work of an architect ends with drawings, but this is not the case. If you're going to rent a contractor, the architect should supply advice on the perfect contractor to work with and the most effective shops to buy the building supplies. To take pleasure in all of the companies offered by the architect it's best to hire an experienced skilled. The professional must also advice you on the direction that your home ought to face. Since you are not skilled in house construction it's the duty of the architect to recommendation you on areas that you do not perceive. An architect is a very priceless person in the development of your house. They listen to your wants and come up with detailed drawings about your home. To check the feasibility of house design, the professionals use superior technological instruments comparable to CAD and plenty of others.

The first state building code in Wisconsin was established in 1914. All of the referenced codes listed below were adopted in the mid to late 1970s. The state was looking for ways to reduce its dependence on foreign (other states and countries) energy sources. The state was also attempting to reduce the need for future power plant construction by reducing or controlling the amount of electricity used for heating.
The Division of Safety and Buildings was previously associated with the Department of Industry, Labor and Human Relations (ILHR). On July 1, 1996, the Division was relocated to the Department of Commerce (COMM). On July 1, 2011, the Division was moved again to the Department of Safety & Professional Services (SPS).
(SPS) Chapter 363, which regulates energy conservation in multi-family residential (other than one- and two-family dwellings) and other commercial buildings, was created in May 1978 and became effective July 1, 1978. SPS Chapter 322, which regulates energy conservation measures in one- and two-family dwellings, was created in May 1978 and became effective December 1, 1978. SPS Chapter 367, which regulates energy conservation measures in existing residential rental properties, was created February 1, 1983, and became effective January 1, 1985.
Among numerous other criteria applicable to building design and construction, the state of Wisconsin enforces the Uniform Dwelling Code, SPS Chapters 320 through 325 (new one- and two-family dwelling units); the 2009 International Code Council (ICC) suites including the International Building Code (IBC), the International Mechanical Code (IMC), the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) and the International Fire Code (IFC) when referenced by the previously listed codes, SPS Chapters 361-365 (all commercial buildings as well as three or more units for residential buildings); the Rental Unit Energy Efficiencies Standards Code, SPS Chapter 367 (existing residential rental properties) and Credentials, and SPS Chapter 305.
On April 1, 1997, updated ILHR Chapter 63 requirements for commercial and multi-family dwellings (other than one- and two-family dwellings) went into effect. These new comprehensive requirements were modeled after ASHRAE/IESNA 90.1-1989. The 2000 ICC codes inclusive of the 2000 IECC with Wisconsin amendments were implemented on July 1, 2002 and maintained many of these same requirements.
Changes to the Uniform Dwelling Code, SPS Chapters 320-326, were proposed, and were implemented. As of May 1, 1999, COMM Chapter 22 of the Uniform Dwelling Code met or exceeded the 1995 MEC.
In November, 2007, Wisconsin adopted changes to the Wisconsin Commercial Building and Fire Prevention Codes. The changes went into effect on March 1, 2008. The Commercial Building Code at that time adopted the 2006 editions of the International Building Code, the International Energy Conservation Code, the International Mechanical Code and the International Fuel Gas Code with amendments as addressed in COMM Chapters 60-66. The Fire Prevention Code, adopted the 2006 edition of the National Fire Prevention Code, NFPA 1.
Changes to the Wisconsin Commercial Building and Fire Prevention Codes were next implemented on September 1, 2011. The Commercial Building Code at that time adopted the 2009 editions of the International Building Code, the International Energy Conservation Code, the International Mechanical Code and the International Fuel Gas Code with amendments as addressed in SPS Chapters 360-366. The Fire Prevention Code, adopted the 2009 edition of the National Fire Prevention Code, NFPA 1.
Prior to April 1, 2009, COMM 22 of the state-developed Uniform Dwelling Code (UDC) was applicable to 1 & 2 family dwellings, exceeding 1995 MEC requirements. (REScheck could be used when the code assignment is indicated to be "Wisconsin" in REScheck). Multi-family dwellings had to comply with the 2000 IECC (REScheck may be used when the 2000 IECC code assignment is indicated).
The state of Wisconsin implemented many changes to its Uniform Dwelling Code (UDC) for 1&2-family dwellings. Among them, changes were made to SPS 322 (beginning on page 66/102) of the UDC to incorporate the 2006 IECC with Wisconsin amendments. The changes became effective April 1, 2009. (REScheck could be used when the code assignment is indicated to be "Wisconsin 2009" in REScheck).
On May 6, 2010 Wisconsin announced as one of the states that will participate in BECP's Compliance Evaluation Pilot Study.
The State of WI, Dept. of Commerce completed committee meetings on the proposed 2009 ICC codes with WI amendments. Draft of the code for reference for future public hearings was issued. Public hearings held. The Dept. addressed comments taken at the public hearings. The Dept. completed committee meetings on the proposed 2009 ICC codes with WI amendments. The 2009 ICC codes with Wisconsin amendments as contained in SPS chapters 360-366 were implemented on Sept. 1, 2011.
The state energy codes are reviewed for possible updates every three to five years. The code is adopted by the Department of Safety & Professional Services after a code development and public hearing process. A description of the process within the Department of Safety & Professonal Services follows. The state code provisions are developed within the Office of Codes and Applications, which is part of the Safety and Buildings Division of the Department of Safety & Professional Services. Any modifications to the code (suggested by builders, property owners, material suppliers, architects, engineers, staff, or other state agencies, or required by legislative mandate) are developed in accordance with Chapter 227 of the Wisconsin Statutes.
The Division of Safety and Buildings drafts proposed administrative rules, which are reviewed by an outside committee of industry representatives. The code language is then presented to the Secretary of Safety & Professional Services for approval. Once approved, the proposals are reviewed at public hearings to gather comments. Following any changes after the public hearings, the code is transferred to the two standing legislative committees for approval. If approved, the department may adopt the rules and then determine an effective date, based on printing, distribution, and other schedules. SPS Chapters 363 and 367 requirements may be changed by local governments or agencies by ordinance only if the alternative requirements are as restrictive as those in the referenced code. SPS Chapter 322 requirements must be applied without local modification.
Enforcement Process
After plan review by the state or a certified municipality, SPS Chapter 363 requirements are enforced in the field by local municipal building inspectors for communities that have local inspections. In communities without a local inspector, the State Department of Safety & Professional Services inspectors are responsible. SPS Chapter 322 requirements are enforced by the local municipal building inspector, assigned agency official as approved by the municipality, or as delegated by the state Dept. of Safety & Professional Services if neither of the previous choices are used. Enforcement is mandatory in all areas of the state. SPS Chapter 367 inspections are conducted by private-sector inspectors who are licensed by the Department of Safety & Professional Services under SPS Chapter 305 requirements. All enforcement is done by Department of Safety & Professional Services certified inspectors and plan examiners.
Compliance is determined through plan review and inspection by local or state building officials for SPS Chapters 322 and 363 requirements. For SPS Chapter 367 requirements, the Department licenses 750 private individuals, under SPS 305, who conduct energy audits when residential rental properties are sold. The energy audits for compliance are commissioned by the owner of the property within one year of transfer. The owner and the Department are given a copy of the compliance certificate.

Visse nel V secolo a.C. e partecipò alla battaglia di Salamina.

Adimanto figlio di Ocito, e fu cittadino di Corinto che guidò una flotta di quaranta navi.
Dopo la battaglia di Capo Artemisio, che non produsse esiti rilevanti, la flotta greca comandata da Euribiade si era ritirata nello stretto di Salamina. A causa dei successi ottenuti dall'esercito persiano e del ritardo dei rifornimenti, i Greci non riuscivano a trovare un accordo sulla strategia da adottare; da un lato il generale ateniese Temistocle voleva continuare ad attaccare le navi persiane con la flotta greca mentre i generali peloponnesiaci, tra cui Adimanto, preferivano optare per una linea difensiva presso l'istmo di Corinto, adducendo che a Salamina in caso di sconfitta gli assediati non avrebbero avuto scampo.

Ovviamente quest'ultima soluzione avrebbe significato abbandonare buona parte della Grecia centrale in mano all'esercito invasore. Prevalse, infine, la scelta di Temistocle, convinto che l'unico scacchiere utile alla flotta greca fosse quello tra il golfo Saronico e la baia di Eleusi ed ebbe la forza di imporla, ricorrendo alla minaccia di ritirare le navi ateniesi.

Si arrivò così alla battaglia di Salamina, nella quale le navi greche ebbero la meglio sulla flotta persiana.

La tradizione ateniese, ostile a Corinto, ne faceva un vile, ma la tradizione corinzia lo glorificava come un eroe.

Q: What is the significance of having the correct hostname for a cloud server in the control panel of the hosting company What could be a problem that could arise if i do not have the correct hostname as my device name for the cloud server in a control panel of my hosting company
basically the device name is supposedly the hostname
when i created the cloud server they ensured this was my hostname for my new cloud server. but it looks like they will not allow me to use a domain name that is all digits.
currently my host name in the cloud server itself is a domain name that is all digits.

A: I can think of two usages for the name in the control panel:

*

*Used for reverse DNS.

*For reference, such that it is clear, which host is being talked about.

If it is only for reference, having an exactly correct name is not important. If it is used for reverse DNS, a correct name may be important, in particular if you need to send mail you should make sure everything matches up exactly right.
You can have multiple names for the same machine. I would recommend that the primary name starts with a letter. You can have a secondary domain name, which starts with a digit. That secondary domain name I would put only in forward DNS (as well as in vhost configuration, if applicable). For the actual hostname and reverse DNS, I recommend using the primary name, which starts with a letter.

The Prince of Wales's Speeches
A speech by HRH The Prince of Wales titled Roads, Bridges and Traffic in the Countryside, Dundee
I have been delighted by the displays I have seen on the Edinburgh City bypass and I hear that there are plans for a 'floral gateway' to Edinburgh on the proposed scheme dualling the A1 to the east of the city.
In the last few days I have addressed audiences in various parts of this country on topics ranging from private sector involvement in community projects, the provision of specialist nurses for the care of the terminally ill, the regeneration of Holyhead in North Wales, the 60th anniversary of the BBC World Service, water quality and sewage sludge treatment, business sponsorship of the arts - to roads and bridges in the Scottish countryside. What you see before you is all that remains of The Prince of Wales... Ladies and gentlemen, in case anyone is wondering exactly why I am here in Dundee today, I have to tell you that I am here to keep a promise made almost two years ago.
I doubt if it is any secret that I love Scotland with all my heart, or that I come here as often as I can. But I also spend much time elsewhere - which leaves me seeing Scotland through two different sets of eyes - firstly as someone who feels he belongs here, and secondly as a tourist. These two viewpoints frequently provide different pictures, but nowhere is the contrast more marked than when looking at the question of roads, bridges and traffic in the countryside. On the one hand, as someone who needs to get around a good deal, (and is usually late!) there are clearly great advantages in the fast, modern roads which allow you to move about freely. On the other hand, as someone who deeply appreciates the special qualities of what is still, to me at least, the most beautiful country in the world, I am struck by the extent to which inappropriately designed roads and bridges can mar people's appreciation of the landscape. The roads that enable people to travel to the most beautiful places can sometimes mar the beauty they come to see.
Some two years ago, in an attempt to see whether anyone else saw this conflict as worthy of serious study, I convened a working lunch with a variety of experts. It soon became clear at that meeting that I was not entirely alone in my concerns and between us we asked rather a lot of questions of the Director of the Scottish Roads Department. To his credit, poor man, he agreed that this was a problem worth addressing, and tactfully promised a review paper to be followed by a conference to discuss the subject with all interested parties. For my part, I rather rashly promised to attend the conference if I thought the review document was a real step forward - which I do - so here I am.
Now I certainly cannot hope to compete with the awesome range of technical expertise and experience which all of you, in your different ways, can apply to this subject. I am, at best, a receptive and interested consumer of your products, but I would like to take this opportunity to say one or two things from a non-specialist viewpoint, and to ask the occasional question.
As I said earlier, this isn't simply a local problem. Road-builders the world over have to find a balance between the need to move people and engender economic activity in an area, and the needs of those same people for places of tranquility. As the world becomes more and more crowded, this problem will only ever increase. Although my interest was originally sparked off by the proposals for the Cairn o'Mount Road (as Mr Kirkbridge and Mrs Jenny Watson will remember), it is an international dilemma.
People who travel more widely, and with rather less constraints, than I do tell me that if you find a road being built anywhere in the developing world today, the odds are that the man in charge is Scottish, following directly in the footsteps of such pioneers as McAdam, Smeaton and Telford.
It occurs to me that the Scottish Office report 'Roads, Bridges and Traffic in the Countryside' could be instrumental in helping yet another generation of Scottish road-builders lead the world. At the very least the report is an excellent starting point for discussion, and the kind of dialogue you are having at this conference is something of a breakthrough. At best, the report provides an historic opportunity for a number of disciplines to come together and take a strategic look ahead - something which is all too rare in today's world, dominated as it is by inexorable short-term pressures.
Encouraging a new spirit of innovation and excellence amongst those who design and build our roads could lead to Scotland pioneering better international standards of environmental awareness and sensitivity. But I believe it will be necessary to challenge much that is deeply embedded in the existing engineering culture and stress instead the need for dialogue and interaction with other disciplines. It will mean accepting, for instance, that no amount of good landscaping will correct the problems of an ill-conceived road or bridge.
Ladies and gentlemen, I am always impressed by people who get things done - and who solve problems - and this is something at which engineers as a profession are pre-eminently successful. Engineering is also one of the professions most receptive to new ideas, and new ways of doing things. This ought to make it possible for there to be a real change in the way engineers think about roads - if only the right sort of guidance and encouragement can be provided. I hope they might be helped to have a perspective which will enable them to look critically at every aspect of road development, including a willingness to challenge whether a so-called 'improvement' is actually necessary, and an understanding (not just an acceptance) of the contribution of other disciplines. I would particularly hope that the role of environmental impact assessment could be stressed, together with the need to take into account the longer-term repercussions of today's decisions.
Above all, I would like to see any programme of re-education concentrate on quality of design, rather than quantity. All too often, it seems to me, it is the grand schemes which are noticed; which win professional recognition, prizes and further contracts. In the same way that water engineers earn more plaudits for designing major reservoirs than they do for curing leaks in the distribution system, I fear that some of the best solutions to problems of road-engineering do not earn recognition simply because they are done so well and with such sympathy for their surroundings that no-one actually notices them!
Having dealt rather summarily, I fear, with the possibilities for encouraging engineers to see things differently, I would like to turn my attention to the planners. Now I am the first to accept that if Scotland is to have a vibrant national economy, take full advantage of the European Single Market and move large numbers of tourists around quickly and efficiently, there is an overriding need for an excellent transport network. But I have two questions.
Firstly, do we not need to look more carefully at ways of moving people and goods around in a co-ordinated fashion - supplying the best service in the long run, while causing the least environmental damage? At the moment road and rail seem to be too often in conflict rather than coordinated in a way which would surely help them both.
Secondly, away from the major road network, are we looking at the right criteria when deciding whether or not to build or improve a minor road? At the moment, economic benefits have to be demonstrated, and one of the few ways of doing this is by establishing that shorter journey times will result. But is this really a good idea on minor roads through areas of outstanding natural beauty, particularly if the so-called improvements will scar that same beauty? Instead of just looking at what we might gain by faster journey times, perhaps we should be seeking a balance by looking also at what we will lose? In my view one of the shortcomings of this report is that it does not sufficiently address the problem of traffic management which I would have thought, ought to be inseparable from the more specific problems of roads, traffic and bridges in the countryside. If we could avoid having ever larger traffic volumes, vehicles and speeds on our roads, with the resulting pollution and congestion, there would not be the same pressure to widen so many roads and bridges.
Where improvements are necessary, there must obviously be regulations and standards which will ensure that Scotland's excellent safety record can be maintained. But I am sure I am not alone in hoping that such regulations can be written in a way which does not hamper originality, flair and even beauty in design. Nowhere is this more important than where bridges are concerned.
A particular bte noir, as far as I am concerned is the dull, soul-less unimaginative bridge! Sadly, it is impossible to drive in the Highlands today without meeting this species of bridge; intrusive and unsympathetic, it betrays its urban origins from every angle and drives out those wonderful indigenous stone bridges which complement and give real character to their surroundings, from which they appear to grow.
Try as I might, I find it impossible, in company with many others, I suspect, to accept the uncompromising nature of these box girder bridges in the countryside. Now the arch bridge, on the other hand, has stood the test of time... It is, therefore, most encouraging to learn that the arch bridge competition in Glencoe has produced such interest, with 100 prospectuses issued and 29 design submissions received. This well-loved form of bridge has clearly caught the imagination of several late 20th century engineers, and I hear some innovative engineering has been proposed to allow new and efficient construction methods of this form of bridge, with its simple elegance, which has survived for millennia.
Perhaps we should look, too, at the way in which the most natural of all materials - those which are still growing - are used in road developments. I recognise that there is impatience after a new road has been laid down for an instant landscape. The local community may well have suffered a year or two of considerable disruption and be anxious that eyesores of construction work be removed. This results in a temptation to re-seed quickly and tidy up, even though this will leave a bland and un-natural landscape for posterity. How much better it would be if, as far as possible, we could bring ourselves to let nature take its course?
But there are developments to be proud of already. One great success of road landscaping has certainly been in husbanding the genetic pool of wild flowers. I have been delighted by the displays I have seen on the Edinburgh City bypass and I hear that there are plans for a 'floral gateway' to Edinburgh on the proposed scheme dualling the A1 to the east of the city.
I was also delighted to hear that the Scottish Office have appointed a Landscape Consultant for a section of the A830 Fort William Trunk Road. I understand that this is the first of a new type of road scheme, which is environmentally driven, with major contributions from both landscape architects and engineers. It is particularly encouraging that the brief allows for environmentally-based design geometry, suitable for lower design speeds, to be considered.
But can I put in a personal plea that consideration be given to including hedges in motorway designs, both on the central reservations (as is done so successfully elsewhere in Europe and North America in order to eliminate the dazzle factor), and also to break up the vast longitudinal expanses of blank embankments?
Ladies and gentlemen, the roads and bridges we build today will often last longer than our buildings and usually have an irreversible impact on the landscape, which has a finite capacity to absorb man's work, whether good or bad. A new road or bridge is something we should be proud of; some of the greatest engineers in the world were, and are, Scottish and we must seek to continue this great tradition by building with sensitivity, and even a sense of reverence, in the countryside - so that it serves us and future generations wisely. I feel sure that your conference has a real part to play in that process, and I will much look forward to hearing the results of your deliberation.

The Great Repeal Bill: a giant Henry VIII clause?
The Prime Minister has now announced that the 2017/2018 session of Parliament will feature a "Great Repeal Bill" to achieve the repatriation of EU law to the UK.
The Bill will, in particular, repeal section 2 of the European Communities Act 1972, which has long been a target of attack by those concerned by the impact of EU law on Parliamentary sovereignty. Section 2(1) of that Act provides that EU law has effect in the UK and must be followed by the courts; section 2(2) gives wide powers to ministers to amend UK law to make it consistent with the requirements of EU law.
Section 2(2) is frequently criticised for being a "Henry VIII" provision: that is to say, it allows ministers to make wide-ranging changes to UK law without having to go through the process of primary legislation.
However, it is unlikely that the Great Reform Bill will see the end of Henry VIII clauses. Indeed, a prominent lawyer on the "leave" side of the Brexit debate has argued that section 2(2) should not be repealed. Instead, it should be "extended" to give ministers more power to amend UK law by statutory instrument.
Why will that be necessary? The problem is that, before Brexit takes effect, something will need to be done about all the areas where EU law forms the legal basis for UK regulations: and it is common ground that very large parts of those regulations will need to be kept after Brexit.
Unfortunately, that is not going to be a simple task. It is not possible just to pass a short Act saying the old rules remain in force, because they were drafted on the assumption that the UK is a member of the EU. So, for example, EU regulations on agriculture frequently refer to the powers of the European Commission; and EU rules on medicines are a complex web of regulations giving powers to European institutions (the Commission and the European Medicines Agency) and involve recognising decisions of those bodies and of regulators in other Member States. Similarly the regulatory framework for telecoms, railways, energy, airports and air traffic all stem from European law. There are countless other examples. In order to avoid legal black holes, these rules will all have to be reviewed and replaced before Brexit with a new version that works in the post-Brexit world. Much of this is technical stuff – vitally important to those affected and requiring political judgments, but not likely to be regarded as a matter of intense political controversy. Some of it, though, will require important decisions on politically contentious matters such as environmental protection and workers' and consumers' rights.
So, in the period before Brexit comes into effect, a vast amount of work will have to be done to establish whether rules needed amending in areas such as financial services, regulation, pharmaceuticals, employment, agriculture, product safety and so on. Daniel Greenberg, a former Parliamentary draftsman, describes this as "the largest scale legislation and policy exercise that has ever been carried out". The exercise will be even more complex (and accelerated) because it is likely that uncertainty as to the precise arrangements between the EU and UK after Brexit will persist until quite late in the day, so that detailed regulation will not be able to be finalised until that point.
There is no way in which Parliament will be able deal with this by primary legislation, within the 2 year time limits imposed by Article 50. Once that time limit expires, the EU provisions will no longer apply, leaving the UK with a legal vacuum. To reduce the length of uncertainty, the Great Repeal Bill will necessarily have to give power to ministers to make new laws in all these fields by statutory instrument.
That raises profound issues for Parliament. When section 2(2) of the 1972 Act has been employed as a basis for secondary legislation, it has been used to implement EU legislation that has already undergone considerable scrutiny at EU level (by member states and the European Parliament). In contrast, Parliament's scrutiny of UK statutory instruments is widely regarded as seriously deficient (not least because there is no power to propose amendments).
It also raises important questions for Whitehall: in particular, it is not clear that the Government Legal Department (whose numbers have been very substantially reduced in recent years) will have the capacity to take on the amount of extra work that needs to be done, at least without a substantial recruitment campaign. And expertise in the numerous technical and policy areas affected cannot be acquired overnight.
So there is a serious risk that swathes of legislation, drafted in a hurry by overworked civil servants with inadequate knowledge of the areas concerned, will be waived through without Parliament having the means or capacity to scrutinise effectively what is being proposed. The extent of Parliamentary scrutiny depends on the terms of the parent act, and in most cases Parliament's control is limited to approving, or rejecting, the instrument as laid before it: it cannot (except in very rare cases) amend or change it. Not only would that sit uneasily with many leavers' concerns to improve democratic control of the executive and to restore Parliamentary sovereignty, but it would create the risk of generating serious costs for business in dealing with inadequate, unclear, or even perverse, legislation. The scale of the task of getting this right should not be underestimated by either Parliament or Whitehall. Parliament will need to make certain, as it considers the Great Repeal Bill, that the powers that the Bill is bound to confer on ministers should be exercisable only after proper scrutiny by Parliament and after wide consultation and careful consideration. If the price of a quick Brexit is rushed and incoherent legislation, prepared with inadequate democratic scrutiny and giving rise to substantial costs to business, even many leavers will wonder if that is a price worth paying.

How home air conditioning can help reduce stress?
Let's be honest, life is stressful enough. Certain levels of stress are reached in so many different everyday situations, and often this can be attributed to the climate you are constantly exposed to. Hot temperatures can cause heightened stress, which can lead to an array of long-term health concerns. At Richmond Air, we think that one of the best ways to reduce stress is to implement a functional air conditioning system in your Adelaide home.
Almost everybody stresses about money. Often, this stress can manifest in the form utility bills. Certain air conditioning systems, like the ducted system, have zoning capabilities which can be capitalised on to minimise your power consumption This would work by delivering cool air solely to the populated areas of the house. If you have a small family, and the upfront cost of a ducted seeming is causing you grief, you can also buy a split system for the open plan area of the house.
Similarly, if the value of your home is a long-term concern, an air conditioning system can provide additional incentive for future prospecting homeowners.
Like we mentioned earlier, stress can develop in uncomfortable environments. The is a correlation between comfortable temperatures and decreased stress. By controlling the temperature of your Adelaide home with an air conditioning system, you will remain calmer, and therefore increase your productivity and overall wellbeing.
This translates to a level of deep sleep, maintaining a comfortable climate within your home will increase the chances of having a good night's sleep. When it is cold and hot, your body tries to mediate the temperature and therefore keeps you awake in the process. An air conditioner can be the difference between a well-rested sleep, and a night lying awake.
In a home with elderly family members or small children, stress can build from the perpetual possibility of severe illness developing in for family members. Some bacteria can grow and thrive in warm conditions. These kinds of bacteria are often responsible for viruses and general sickness. In the warmer months, an air conditioner can keep the area cool and therefore subdue these pesky illnesses.
The elderly (or asthmatics) can be susceptible to sickness from inhaling dust and pollen in the air. An air conditioning system can move these dormant hazardous particles out of the immediate area. Having a reduced proneness to sickness will also reduce your overall stress, as if you have children, you won't always be worrying about them getting sick.
For a less stressful environment, you should be thinking about adding, or upgrading, your air conditioning system. By reducing sickness and enhancing sleep and the resale value of your home, you will have a fewer things to worry about for the foreseeable future.
To implement a new air conditioning system in your Adelaide home , call Richmond Air to get this process underway.

Hawaii-Haleakala NP 2
Hawai'i / By Laura
April 1 — The second area we visited in Haleakala: Pu'u'ula'ula Summit. We drove the long and winding road (literally!) in the late afternoon, arriving here to watch the sunset. We checked through the Park Headquarters Visitor Center but were told the "House of the Sun" Visitor Center at the top was closed — crushing because Laura was looking to get her NP stamp for her journal. Fortunately, a very nice park ranger found an old stamp (the year was missing) and handed it over to us in our car so we could stamp the journal — the day was saved!
Sunset at Haleakala
Up near the top we saw the Haleakala Silversword, or Aninahina, one of the world's rarest plants. This guy thrives under the most hostile conditions volcanic conditions – hot days, cold nights, and porous ash soil. The soft silvery hairs on its incurved leaves protect the plant from sunlight and draft, and it takes up to 50 years for one of these to flower.
After walking around this part of the park and gazing longingly at the Haleakala Observatories (a science fiction-style cluster of research stations set in the summit's lunar landscape but closed to the public; here scientists map movements of the Earth's crust) we made the final little hike up to 10,023′ to watch the sunset. As the sun was sinking ever closer to the horizon, it got chillier and chillier outside. I kept thinking to myself, "I'm in Hawaii; I'm not supposed to be freezing cold!" But alas, the sun finally disappeared behind the clouds in a spectacular display of nature's beauty, and in the darkness, we began the careful journey back down Haleakala Crater Road and back into civilization — and warmth!

Robert completed his training from the Rolf Institute in 1979.
Robert joined the staff at Health Integration Center in 1982. His interest in how structural alignment enhances function began in 1970, when he was a model for a Structural Integration class overseen by Dr. lda Rolf, the creator of Structural Integration. The Rolf Institute president, Joseph Heller, impressed Robert as being the gentlest of his colleagues. Robert studied under Joseph and his teachers in 1979. Soon after, Joseph Heller created his own gentle brand of Structural Integration Training (1250 hours) known as Hellerwork. Robert is President of Hellerwork International LLC Board of Managers.
Fascia is the organ of movement which wraps around, binds and suspends bones, muscles, and organs. Robert works with the fascia system of the body in order to enhance structural alignment and comfortable function of the body. This work directly addresses the autonomic nervous system to disconnect the cycle of emotionally charged muscle memory that otherwise would continue to trigger pain. In many cases, this work replaces surgeries such as knee and hip replacement, and even sinus surgery. The International Congress on Fascia Research is documenting the far-reaching health benefits of structural integration. Hellerwork is known for its gentle approach. The complete prearranged process requires ten or more sessions, however one session is better than none. Movemenet education and emotional association is included in order to continue shedding stress during your daily activities.


I was a little ashamed of myself when I realized that I have been having this incredible experience here and I haven't even written on my blog since June 20th. So since it would be beyond difficult to catch you up in one post, I will just do a top 10.
10. Melissa and two new interns arrived.
9. We are still fighting to get Benji his surgery.
8. I finally adjusted to the insane heat here.
6. I got my wallet stolen while I was there, lived on peanut butter sandwiches for three days, and almost wasn't allowed back across the border.
4. I finished my internship.
2. I cancelled my plane ticket home.
1. And last but not least…I'm getting married!
And yes I know I shouldn't leave you all hanging. But it is past midnight, I have to be up at 4 AM and I am tired so, I promise a much better version of at least a few of those points in the upcoming weeks.

Hollywood Stylists on Developing Award-Winning Red Carpet Style Strategies for Stars
thr stylist roundtable 2
How do you develop a comprehensive style strategy for a star client when a boyfriend's skeptical look could change everything an hour before the red carpet? At THR's first-ever Stylist Roundtable, Jeanne Yang, who created Kumail Nanjiani's Oscars look; Jason Bolden, the man behind director Ava DuVernay's iconic style; Tara Swennen, who curated this season's looks for I, Tonya's Allison Janney; Armie Hammer-stylist Ilaria Urbinati; and Law Roach, who's responsible for transforming Mudbound's Mary J. Blige from soul diva to shining actress, shared how they approach awards season.
"I try to figure out who my client is and not change them but just elevate if I can, so it's a lot of them and a little bit of me," said Roach, who's also a judge on America's Next Top Model. It took some time for Blige to fully trust her stylist: Roach had to "talk her into" wearing a mint green Elie Saab dress for the Palm Springs Film Festival awards gala. But the compliments confirmed his choice. "That was my breakthrough point… She said, 'You're right. From now on I will listen.'"
Bolden, on the other hand, didn't quite have the time for much debate: His client Taraji P. Henson wasn't set on attending the Oscars until two days before the show. "She is the nicest human on the planet. She shows up to fittings, puts it on, and if she starts talking to herself in the mirror, it's done," said Bolden, who is a regular contributor to E! Live From the Red Carpet.
Things worked out and Henson looked stunning in her custom Vera Wang gown — but there's more that can cause a last-minute stir up than a spontaneous RSVP. "90 percent of what we deal with are external factors — the manager, agent, boyfriend or designer," said Jeanne Yang, who has worked with Jamie Dornan, Michael Keaton, and Keanu Reeves. "You are juggling 20 balls, and then someone will throw in another one."
For Swennen and her client Janney, "It was about developing a trusting relationship and pushing her a little bit at every single event," the stylist said. "For the I, Tonya press run, we did something like 55 outfits by the end. We didn't want to repeat too many colors or patterns or shapes. She also is over 6 feet tall, and we could play with her because she is a fashion stylist's muse. If you look, she was getting progressively a little bolder."
Can a red carpet style strategy make a difference when it comes to campaigning for the Oscar, which Janney won in the best supporting actress category? "I'm sure it affects it," said Swennen. "It's attention. It was beautiful to watch her bloom."

Sure, cerumen may look worse than overcooked beans, but your ceruminous and sebaceous glands make this special recipe for the health of your ears. In addition to effectively removing dust and crud out of your ear canal, ear wax guards your ears against bacteria, fungal infections and viruses. It's even an effective insect repellant for your ears! It also protects and lubricates the inside of the ear canal to keep it healthy.
In fact, these glands whip up a special recipe of cholesterol, sebum, long-chain fatty acids, enzymes, alcohols, sloughed off skin cells, and other chemicals especially formulated for your personal ears—the end result is ear-protecting ear wax. Healthy cerumen is also slightly acidic—which very helpfully inhibits fungal and bacterial growth. Thanks, ear wax!
If you're one of the millions of people who have been using swabs to clean their ears over the years, it's possible you've already suffered some level of hearing loss. That's because you may have shoved some dirty old ear wax down your ear canal in the swabbing process, clogging your ear canal and blocking hearing. The best thing to do is schedule an appointment with your hearing care professional for a hearing checkup to determine whether or not you have impacted ear wax that might be causing some amount of hearing loss. Impacted ear wax removal should only be done in the office.
Also, there are some people who have actual ear wax problems that need to be addressed with ear wax removal—but still not with swabs. Some people's ears make it too dry or too wet. Sometimes the chemical composition is off and it doesn't do its job properly. Even in these cases, however, you should still shun sticking anything into your ears besides your elbow for ear wax removal or evaluation. Call your hearing care professional if you're worried about your ear wax.
Note about hearing aids: ear wax buildup can lessen the effectiveness of your hearing aids, if you wear them. Improper hearing aid cleaning can also cause ear wax jams. So it's very important to follow any hearing aid cleaning and gentle ear washing instructions that your hearing care professional gives you.
It's important for parents the world over to understand that ear cleaning is not necessary like brushing your teeth is! Every day, somewhere in America, 34 kids are rushed to the doctor with ear cleaning injuries. Unfortunately, these injuries sometimes cause hearing loss that impacts the child's language and communication development. So teach your kids not to put anything in their ears except their elbows (and then giggle as they try to do it). But seriously, the most common of these ear injuries include tympanic membrane tears (torn ear drum) or other small lacerations and cuts inside of the ear canal.
We hear some of you out there thinking out loud about "ear candling". Nobody knows exactly who thought of sticking these hollow cones into your ear and setting them on fire, but we're here to tell you—it doesn't work, and it's dangerous. So don't do it. People across the country end up in the doctor's office with ear candling injuries every year.
So just… don't do it!
Showering. Really, just take your shower and wash your hair. Afterwards, just gently dab around your ears with a towel to sop up any excess water and you're good to go. This will safely remove only the spent ear wax that your chewing, talking and yawning have evacuated from the ear canal.
Seriously – don't pick up another swab! If not cleaning your ears the wrong way makes you feel awkward, or if you have any other concerns about ear wax impaction, ear injury or hearing loss, please schedule an appointment with your hearing care professional for an ear checkup today.

"What to take, what to leave": Thoughts on compiling bibliographies of writing on anime/manga
categories: Commentary
One of the most basic concepts underlying the practice of organizing and representing information is that it requires making choices. The organization and representation of information, choosing what to present, and how to arrange it is an ideological act, and even to a degree a political act. Guides, indexes, directories, databases, classification systems, and other methods of providing access to information and establishing "bibliographic control" are designed with particular goals in mind, and exist because of particular reasons, affordances, biases and prejudices. And, in turn, being aware of these goals and reasons, and of the effects that they have on information sources, services and tools, is a major component of information literacy, of being an effective user of information and a successful researcher.
The Origins of English-Language Anime Studies
When I talk about anime and manga studies, especially in formal presentations, some questions come up over and over again. How much academic/scholarly writing on anime/manga is out there? How many scholars study (and more specifically, write about) Japanese animation, Japanese comics, and related topics? And, can we really talk about a "history" of anime/manga studies and anime/manga scholarship?
My work has actually put me a in pretty good position to answer the first two questions. I have identified almost 100 individual English-language books on anime/manga (with several more due to be published later this year). When I put it on hiatus about a year ago, my database of English-language publications on anime/manga of all types (books, book chapters, and journal articles), contained over 1,520 entries, and the names of over 900 individual authors. And neither of those numbers include the materials and authors I have identified in 2014 and this year so far.
It's the third question – "what are the origins of anime/manga studies?" that's more complicated. (more…)
Publication patterns in anime/manga studies, 2010-2014
Over the last year, I have been using this blog to promote, foster and facilitate the developing field of anime/manga studies, and document various new developments in this field. And, I also hope to be able to say that with this blog, I can demonstrate just what we mean by the term anime and manga studies. One easy way to do this is simply by highlighting the range of academic books, book chapters, journal articles, and other publications on anime/manga – as I do in the Bibliography section. Another is by noting that many of these publications themselves specifically use the terms 'anime studies'/'manga studies'.
But, pointing out that anime/manga studies is an academic field then raises a direct question – what are some of the characteristics of anime/manga studies as an academic field? What kinds of programs are the scholars writing about anime/manga based in? What form does the "scholarly output" of anime/manga studies take? What is the field's "citation landscape" – what kinds of publications do anime/manga scholars cite in their work, and are there particular publications (or even particular individual titles) that are cited with such frequency that they should be considered "core" for the field as a whole? Academic fields or areas can also be characterized by their "publication patterns" – that is, the kinds of journals (or the specific journals) that scholarship in these fields tends to appear in. Do anime scholars seek to publish their work primarily in Japanese or Asian studies journals? Film studies/animation studies journals? Other types? (more…)
Researching the Business of Anime – Resources and Thoughts
In the opening chapter of The Anime Machine: A Media Theory of Animation, Thomas Lamarre identifies what he calls "the book report or film review model" of writing on Japanese animation – "a summary of the major narrative in conjunction with a consideration of major themes". He does not dismiss this approach, and acknowledges it as "frequently insightful", but argues that it is only one of several possible or potential approaches that anime scholars can take. However, as he points out, far too much of the scholarly writing on Japanese animation that is published in English falls under this model. Anime scholars select particular themes, and highlight how these themes are expressed in particular anime, or working in reverse, scholars pick a particular anime work and examine the themes and images that it contains. Or they look at how audiences interact with anime – as consumers, but primarily, as fans. Less frequently, authors describe the particular technical characteristics of a director's work. (more…)
"Predatory open-access" and anime/manga studies
The growth of (free, online) "open-access" to academic publications has made a significant impact on how scholarship is produced, packaged/published, and presented to readers. And it is perhaps inevitable that the open-access model has given rise to actors who work to take advantage of it to generate profits for themselves. These actors – "predatory open-access publishers" – already have a significant effect on scholarly publishing in many fields – primarily in science, technology, and mathematics, but increasingly, in social sciences and the humanities. What are the implications of predatory open-access for anime and manga studies? (more…)
Anime/Manga Books and Their Covers
There is no way around this – books are judged by their covers. Readers judge. Corporate bookstore chain "buyers" (not customers, but rather, the corporate bookstore chain employees whose job it is to select the specific books that their particular bookstore chain will purchase from the publisher and put up on the shelves) judge. Librarians judge. And ultimately, a cover reflects and indicates not just what a particular book is about, but how much care and effort has been put into a particular book as a physical object – and as something that is supposed to be worth a reader's money.
The history of English-language books on Japanese animation and comics begin s over thirty ago, with Frederik Schodt's Manga! Manga! The World of Japanese Comics – first published in 1983, and still in print today. And by my count, at least 90 books dealing with anime/manga have been published in English since. Granted, this figure includes everything from "traditional" scholarly monographs such as The Anime Machine: A Media Theory of Animation and Cartoon Cultures: The Globalization of Japanese Popular Media and edited essay collections (Cinema Anime: Critical Engagements with Japanese Animation, Mangatopia: Essays on Manga and Anime in the Modern World) to books directed at casual readers (Anime and Philosophy: Wide Eyed Wonder, BFI Film Classics: Spirited Away, The Rough Guide to Manga), "directories" (500 Essential Anime Movies: The Ultimate Guide, Anime Classics Zettai!: 100 Must-See Japanese Animation Masterpieces) and various odds-and-ends – exhibit catalogs, revised reprints of magazine columns, first-hand accounts. But even focusing on the more "academic" books on anime and manga that have been published in English from 1983 to the present, we can learn a lot about how authors – and publishers – have approached Japanese animation and comics over the years as expressed in the covers that they selected. (more…)
Comment/Response: Bringing Anime to Academic Libraries
categories: Commentary, New Publications
Ten or fifteen years ago, the idea that academic libraries should collect "sequential art" of any kind, whether comics, graphic novels, or manga was if not controversial, then at least cutting-edge. Since then, however, these kinds of materials have found wide acceptance in library collections, to the point that librarians are now publishing articles on the "best practices" of collecting comics in a research library (O'English, Lorena, et al., Graphic novels in academic libraries: From Maus to manga and beyond) and looking at the sizes of comics collections in major academic research libraries (Masuchika, Glenn & Boldt, Gail, Japanese manga in translation and American graphic novels: A preliminary examination of the collections in 44 academic libraries). On the other hand, up until recently, there were no similar articles on the practices of building anime collections in academic libraries.

Publishing and Self-Publishing – Part 3
In my last two posts – Thoughts on Self-Publishing on Anime/Manga, Part 1 and Part 2, I raised the general question of whether it was possible for an author to produce and distribute his or her writing outside the established business structure of publishing, and went through some possible models. What I'd like to do now is to move beyond the models to concrete examples, to see how publishing commentary and works of scholarship can – and does – happen without the involvement of a publishing company or even a university press.
Self-Publishing on Anime/Manga – Part 2
In my previous post, I discussed the standard way of publishing one's writing – through a for-profit publishing company or non-profit university press – and the alternative of self-publishing. But, are those the only options open to someone who is interested in writing a book on a topic related to anime/manga, and getting that book into libraries and/or to readers?
As of right now, largely yes. But potentially, there are other options. Publishing, after all, is a combination of a technical or industrial process and a business model. Until recently, the technical process needed the business model – publishing a book cost money, and more money than an individual could commit. Print-on-demand and electronic distribution of books has made the technical process a lot easier to deal with. The business model that involves submission or commissioning, peer review and editing, and finally, promotion and distribution is harder to work around through technology alone. The whole point of a publishing house is not just to operate the printing or production machinery, it's to organize and package knowledge.
And, to think of it, there is no objective reason for there not to be a "third way" between working with an established publisher, and self-publishing. The solution that Jonathan Gray (Media and Cultural Studies, University of Wisconsin, Madison) proposes is of "publishing collectives" – that is, groups of scholars (or anybody else interested creating and distributing knowledge in a particular area of study or about a particular topic) taking control of publishing from established publishers.
Thoughts on Self-Publishing on Anime/Manga
What are the options that an author interested in publishing a full-length book on anime/manga can reasonably pursue? And are publishers actually interested in books on anime/manga? The easy answer seems to be 'yes' – or at least, some publishers certainly are. Palgrave Macmillan, one of the most prominent English-language corporate/for-profit publishing houses, has published Susan Napier's Anime from Akira to Princess Mononoke (2001) and From Impressionism to Anime: Japan as Fantasy and Fan Culture in the Eyes of the West) (2007), Steven Brown's Tokyo Cyberpunk: Posthumanism in Japanese Visual Culture (2010) and just earlier this month, a new edition of Brian Ruh's Stray Dog of Anime: The Films of Mamoru Oshii. Non-profit university presses that may consider a book on Japanese animation or comics include the University Press of Mississippi (God of Comics: Osamu Tezuka and the Creation of Post-World War II Manga, 2009), the University of Hawaii Press (Straight from the Heart: Gender, Intimacy, and the Cultural Production of Shojo Manga, 2011), and the University of Minnesota Press (The Anime Machine: A Media Theory of Animation, 2009). The University of Iowa Press, which recently launched a line of books specifically on "fan studies" is certainly worth keeping in mind as well. And of course, beyond those two types of publishers, there are also the smaller companies like M.E. Sharpe, Edwin Mellen, Stone Bridge Press, with a long tradition of publishing books about Japan, Open Court Publishing, Kamera Books, and various others.
But is going the "traditional" route the only way to go? Is it possible for an author to self-publish a book on Japanese animation or Japanese comics? What kinds of challenges would a self-publishing author face? And are there other, alternate ways beyond either working with an established publishing house, or self-publishing?

Q: Python serialization of video frames adding disc memory I am processing video frames in one of my projects and need to store them as individual images after some image processing operations on an AWS ECS Cluster. After image processing operations finish, I am serializing the frames using Python 3 pickle and uploading it to S3. However, each time serialization runs for a video clip, several hundreds of MBs of disc space is consumed. The video files are 25 fps and 20 to 30 sec long.
I have double checked and confirmed that I am removing all temporary files that I am creating and the image processing operations are not consuming this disk space.
I have also tried joblib to dump the frames and have seen the same behavior. Has anyone has this issue and if so how can it be resolved or avoided? Is there any other efficient means of serializing such video frames?

Happy Tuesday! Hope everyone had a good weekend! I am a bit behind because I am on fall break! I love having a week off in October! So many pretty colors and gorgeous weather! It totally makes up starting school the first week of August!
Lately, I have been wearing jeans, boots, and button ups! I have so many button ups because I just love them so much! They are great to wear and layer!
Thank you! Loving every second of it!
I love the wya you roll your jeans with the boots! It looks so pulled together!
I wish I could have a week off! Love that top- a dream for layering!
You are too cute! I love the polka dot top with the ankle booties!
First of all, I want fall break too. I could use a week off!! Second, I love this laid back look. That polka dot shirt is too cute!! Hope you are having a great fall break! Get some rest for me!
i'm a new follower. love that shirt!
So pretty! Such a perfect fall look!
I really love this look. A button down, pair of jeans and cute booties is the perfect outfit for fall.
Ah, it would be so nice to get a break once in a few months. Corporate life...sigh. Anyways, I am digging your top and the sneaking-peeking necklace!

The ambulance in Krajiška Suza is opened from 8 h to 16 h with one attending nurse.
Doctors work four times per week (2 weeks – a doctor for workers and a physiatrical doctor).
Medical care is provided for the all beneficiaries, where we keep info on their health state – a card with all illness diagnoses and prescribed therapies, blood pressure control, blood sugar control and a card for prescribed medications for the elders who can not pay. Huge attention we payed to educate elders about the importance of controling their health state, that leads to chronical diseases and also to a greater need for care and expenses of curing and having new illnesses.
The ambulance is opened every day where we provide different kinds of medical services: blood sugar and blood pressure control, wood bondings, injections, infusions, EKG, therapy taking consulting, food and illness info, etc. For all elders who are hardly mobile or due to a bad health condition can not visit the ambulance, a medical nurse and a helping nurse, according to the working plan or needs visit them in their homes and control their health conditions there.


I've had two paid P-Claims get V-Claimed over and I lost everything too, so no a P-Claim doesn't do anything for you.
You need a V-Claim to be able to utilize your defenses (torches,braziers).
Some more advice is to not set up a leanto, or try to set up a claim or Town in even sparsely populated areas of the map, unless you are already familiar (and) comfortable with your neighbors there.
A good rule of thumb for me has been to walk in the wilds for over a half-n-hour, hopefully an hour or more and not see any signs of civilization, then back track half of that time/distance before setting up a leanto, Pclaim or Vclaim. Unless again; you are already familiar with the local population there.
...We can do a lot of PvE stuff in this game, but it's still a survival game with PvP.
Pixel greed is a huge motivating factor behind most players playing this game, meaning that you will most likely be robbed (or worst) if you leave yourself as an inviting or visibly valuable target, or even if you have just camped to close to another player's already established settlement, period.
It's a very, very big map... take advantage of it !
I might be a mean-n-nasty forum-warrior here on forums, but ingame I am a fairly friendly/peaceful player, but still; I too will more than likely send an unfamiliar player to back to Providence naked if I find them camped or trying to set up a settlement even remotely close to one of my already established settlements.
So, either hide very well or establish your claim, Town or leanto with that knowledge in mind.
"Warrior" might be a BIT of an overstatement.

Jolt Is Bringing Its 'Not an MBA' Business School to New York
by Gordon Gottsegen
Jolt via Facebook
You can get an MBA at one of the best schools in the world and still be unprepared to manage a real business. That's because industries move quickly and change rapidly, with new sectors and job titles springing up. Traditional education can't keep up.
This reality prompted education startup Jolt to create a business school program that works differently. Its "Not an MBA" program is geared toward teaching adults practical skills without forcing them to go back to school, so they can continue working while also pursuing their education.
Originally founded in Israel in 2015, Jolt is set to launch its first U.S. campuses in Manhattan later this year thanks to a $14.1 million funding round, the company announced on Monday.
"Higher education is in a bubble in which a staggering $2.3 trillion is invested every year in something that works for a small minority of people," Jolt CEO and co-founder Roei Deutsch said in a statement. "Data shows more than three quarters of graduates believe many higher education programs are no longer fit for purpose; trust and confidence in academia has nosedived in recent years, and the number of applications for MBA courses across most major establishments has fallen."
"Society is clearly ready for an alternative – an alternative that will happen, with or without us," he added.
The company currently has seven locations across Israel, plus three in London.
Jolt's seminars are typically held in co-working spaces after normal working hours in order to cater to people working full-time jobs. Interested students can sign up online or through the Jolt app as long as they have either an undergraduate degree or a few years of experience in their field.
While an education from qualified business leaders is important, Jolt is also focused on creating a sense of community. Jolt has a designated community building team that works to make sure its students and teachers can get to know each other and establish a network. The idea: When class is over, Jolt students can apply what they've learned.

Nairobi County seeks to stop radicalization
Nairobi County has stepped up efforts to counter radicalization and violent extremism in the capital with a focus on youths as agents of change.
This follows concern over the increasing numbers of young people falling prey to recruiters out of desperation.
As part of the Nairobi County Action Plan on Prevention and Counter Violent Extremism, Nairobi County Assembly is set to come up with policies in form of motions and bills to reverse the trend.
Last week, County Governance Watch (CGW), a non-profit organisation, organised a Nairobi County engagement forum aimed at kick-starting the process of drafting a policy on prevention and countering violent extremism in the city.
The forum also looked into ways of funding as well as enhancing capacity and promoting knowledge to enable coordination and mainstreaming of PCVE (Prevention and Countering Violent Extremism) programmes.
Nairobi County Assembly Deputy Majority Whip Waithera Chege, in a motion before the assembly, noted that hard military and security approaches used by the National Government have not successfully and completely addressed the threat of violent extremism especially in Nairobi County.
This, she said, is because the government has failed to address the root cause of the problem which lies in existing inequality between members of the society with Nairobi County having the highest rate of such inequality.
The South B MCA pointed to failed expectations, including disappointing employment and life prospects, and marginalisation as fueling frustration and desperation among young people to the advantage of drivers of violent extremism who recruit such youths.
Ms Chege explained that poor macro-economic performance, lack of market opportunities and education system that suffers from problems of access, quality and relevance, and a society that negates the self-expression of young people mean that many young people are unable to translate their aspirations into a productive and fulfilling future.
"Kenya continues to face violent extremism by radical militarist groups where the drivers of violent extremism are localized and depend on socio-political landscape of the communities which serve as recruitment hubs," said Ms Chege.
Consequently, she challenged the county executive to move with speed in developing county programmes geared toward countering violent extremism in the capital by partnership with local stakeholders such as community and faith based organisations.
She said the programmes should focus on addressing poverty and unemployment by incorporating vulnerable and at-risk groups as well as identifying and empowering trusted influencers with the skills and tools to provide concrete solutions to help the said individuals.
"The trusted influencers should be given the tools which make them feel that they have more options than turning to violent extremist groups and allow for more information sharing and coordination of strategies in preventing violent extremism in the County," she said.
Speaker Benson Mutura said the county assembly is committed to advancing the fight against terrorism by providing guidance on ensuring compliance with human rights when countering terrorism.
He said they will partner with security and human rights stakeholders to pass motions, enact laws and regulations focused on prevention and countering violence extremism.
"The assembly remains fully committed to this course and we are ready to facilitate members in coming up with motions, bills and policies that address this menace," said Mr Mutura.
Nairobi County Commissioner Ms Flora Mworoa pointed out to organised crime, drug abuse and gender-based violence as major contributing factors to violent extremism, calling for concerted efforts to bring to an end the menace.

Former soccer star Diego Maradona is reportedly set to undergo surgery in Argentina after internal bleeding in his stomach was detected during a routine check up.
The 58-year-old, who is now a coach for Mexican side Dorados, was a no show at training on Thursday, and now it has emerged that he has been admitted to the hospital, according to multiple reports.
Maradona will undergo an endoscopy at the Clinica Olivos in Buenos Aires, and he is expected to be back on the sidelines for Dorados' first Ascenso MX season clash against Celaya.
He reportedly collapsed at the World Cup finals last summer, amid fears he had suffered a heart attack. He also suffers from arthritis in both knees.

Top class performance holds leaders
Last updated : 04 April 2015 By The Chairman
The Latics put in a very workman-like performance against run-away league leaders Bristol City at Boundary Park yesterday. It was a performance that deserved more than a share of the spoils as Dean Holden's men fought back from a 1-0 deficit to almost clinching the three points. Had it not been for the visiting keeper pulling off a string of good saves it would have been a different story. Aaron Wilbraham gave the visitors the lead with only 20 minutes left but Carl Winchester struck again soon after, having come on as substitute.
Holden said after the game, "I thought we deserved to win on the day. We created some good chances in the game and their goalkeeper has made two or three outstanding saves. It was an exciting game and I enjoyed it. We made a decision that we sat off MK Dons too much and we allowed them to dictate. We made a decision that we were going to go after them. They play three at the back and we were going to throw three up there and really go for them and that really showed in the performances. We asked for extra effort before kick off and we knew what they would bring but aside from that they do have a lot of energy and a lot of work rate. Steve Cotterill demands that of everyone of them and we knew that was going to be the challenge but the lads stood up to it."
"The subs that came on were good and we lost Forte at the end and ended up with ten men which required even more effort. But, on the whole, it was very pleasing. That goal from Winchester was his fourth this season. It was a great strike. He has got it out of his feet and done that a few times this season and he has that in his locker. It was one of a few very good chances in the game and it was a pleasing performance. Gerrard just felt a little bit of tightness in his muscle and we needed to get James Wilson on. It was good to have James and Mills back out there as well. Jonathan has took a whack to his knee so we will have to see how he is from it. We were about to take Luke Woodland off but he went up for a header and landed a bit awkwardly so he's got a bag of ice on there and we will see how he is."

Q: Jquery Collapsible / expandable div's contnet is wrapping into the next column on a 3 column page I've got this page with a 3 column div using css3 columns. inside the div are collapsible / expandable unordered lists. some of them are so long that when they expand the list items wrap into the next column. this just seems kind of funky and I was wondering if somone had a better alternative solution to display all this data that would look better. Is there anyway to keep it from going into the next column and just have that column automatically get taller?
Here is a link to my page
http://tinyurl.com/afuswcs
(Also notice how when clicking one on the second or third column near the top, it jumps to the previous column after expanding)

<?php

$post_type = 'wineries';
$tax = 'wine-types';
$tax_terms = get_terms($tax,'hide_empty=0');
//list the taxonomy

echo'
';?>

Full List of Wineries by Wine Types:

<?php
echo '

';
//list everything
if ($tax_terms) {
  foreach ($tax_terms  as $tax_term) {
    $args=array(
      'post_type' => $post_type,
      "$tax" => $tax_term->slug,
      'post_status' => 'publish',
      'posts_per_page' => -1,
      'caller_get_posts'=> 1,
      'orderby'=>'title' ,
       'order'=>'ASC'
    );

    $my_query = null;
    $my_query = new WP_Query($args);
    if( $my_query->have_posts() ) {

 echo "
slug."\"> $tax_term->name

";
      while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post(); ?>

<a class="wine-type-list" href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?>

        <?php
      endwhile;

      echo'

';

    }

    wp_reset_query();
  }echo'

';
}
?>

A: Do not use columns for that. Split the elements i three in the PHP code and put a DIV tags around each elements. Then put some style on the DIV's to float them to the left:

Remember to make a DIV at the end ore use clearfix class on the wrapper for the  tags:

Your example fixed:

<?php

    $post_type = 'wineries';
    $tax = 'wine-types';
    $tax_terms = get_terms($tax,'hide_empty=0');
            //list the taxonomy

Federer has won Wimbledon eight titles previously and the door has opened for him to walk through and claim a ninth. He heads into the tournament as a best price 15/8 favourite after drawing Dusan Lajovic in the first round and he is in a relatively easy top section of the draw, with a fourth round clash against Borna Coric - the man who actually beat Federer in Halle last week - and a quarter-final against Kevin Anderson pencilled in at this stage.
Federer is projected to meet the man he beat in last year's final, Marin Cilic, in the last-four this time around. Cilic has continually come up short against Federer as he also lost this year's Australian Open to the Swiss legend and the Croatian is difficult to back at 15/2.
The Queen's champion has reached at least the quarter-final stage in each of his past four visits to Wimbledon but he could meet the dangerous Milos Raonic in the fourth round, with Grigor Dimitrov a potential quarter-final opponent.
Raonic is an interesting proposition in this section as the big-serving Canadian has a good Wimbledon record - semi-final in 2014, runner-up in 2016 and quarter-final last year - and he could be worth an each-way look at 25/1 with Betfred. He has enjoyed a good build-up to Wimbledon as he looked to have put recent fitness issues behind him when reaching the final of the Mercedes Cup in Stuttgart, where he lost to Federer, and he is perhaps the pick of the prices in the top-half.
In the bottom-half, Rafael Nadal is the number two seed and as short as 15/2, which makes very little appeal as the two-time Wimbledon winner hasn't gone beyond the fourth round of SW19 since 2011. Nadal has enjoyed a remarkable renaissance in recent times but we're still not convinced that his body can hold up the demands of grass court tennis.
Another player who has endured his fair share of injury problems in recent times, Juan Martin Del Potro is in the same section of the draw as Nadal and they are projected to meet in the quarter-finals. The 2013 semi-finalist has enjoyed a renaissance of his own this year but he may have to overcome Andy Murray (20/1) or rising star Denis Shapovalov in the third round - Del Potro is a tempting proposition at 20/1.
The winner of the Nadal-Del Potro section could meet Novak Djokovic in the semi-finals and the three-time Wimbledon winner is as short as 11/2. He has fallen short in some big matches in recent times though and a quarter-final against Alex Zverev or Nick Kyrgios will provide a stern test.
The bottom-half is an absolute minefield, so we will focus our bets on the top-half. We simply cannot look beyond Federer at 15/8 with Betfred, with Raonic the most attractive pick to trouble him at the prices.


LANSING — Local officials are concerned that a legislative attempt to clarify how charitable organizations are defined could cost them property tax revenues.
The bill, introduced by Sen. Jack Brandenburg, R-Harrison Township, would define charitable organizations in a way that exempts more of them from property tax.
That may be good for them. But local units of government rely heavily on property tax revenues and this bill would decrease those revenues, said Deena Bosworth, director of governmental affairs at the Michigan Association of Counties.
The Senate Fiscal Agency says the bill would decrease property tax revenues by about $27.6 million across the state.
Property tax revenues are in steady decline for local governments. Counties lost an average of 36 percent of their revenues from 2006 to 2015, according to the counties association.
One of those loopholes would be to allow organizations that "promote health and wellness" to be tax exempt.
A gym in Dexter owned by a nonprofit organization has been fighting for tax exemptions since 2013, even though the actual gym facility is run as a for-profit business. The tax tribunal declared it should not receive tax exemptions and the case is in the Court of Appeals.
According to committee testimony, if the gym were found to be charitable, the total loss to the taxing areas would be $325,000.
Under the proposed bill, this facility would be eligible for tax exemptions.
Proponents say the bill will help codify a 2006 Michigan Supreme Court decision that exempted a medical nonprofit institution from property taxes. The Wexford Medical Group v. Cadillac decision laid out six standards for an institution to be labeled charitable and exempt from paying property taxes.
The state's tax tribunals, tax assessors and courts of appeal use the standards from the Wexford decision to decide if an organization is charitable.
Nonprofit organizations seeking tax exemptions face a long and expensive process to be approved as a charitable organization, she said.
Tax assessor works with nonprofit organizations to fill out applications to receive tax exemptions on a local level as a charitable organization, but there isn't one defined application and this can cause confusion and even legal action, like in the case of Wexford v. Cadillac.
But the bill takes away the most important standard laid out in the Wexford decision, which states that an organization's number one mission has to be charitable to be exempt from property taxes, Allen said.
The Senate Finance committee approved the bill by a 5-1 vote. It will now go to the Senate.
LANSING — Traverse City voters are deciding how to regulate the height of city buildings, in a vote with statewide implications. The local decision is whether to require voters to approve the construction of any city buildings more than 60 feet tall.

Q: I have a question for grammaticality This book's name is "outliers"
The explanation for this is quite simple. It has nothing to do with astrology, nor is there anything magical about the first three months of the year. It's simply that in Canada the eligibility cutoff for age-class hockey is January 1. A boy turns ten on January 2, then could be playing alongside someone who doesn't turn ten until the year - and at that age, in pre-adolescence, a twelve-month gap in age represents an enormous difference in physical maturity.
This being Canada, the most hockey-crazed country on earth, coaches start to select players for the traveling "rep" squad-the all-star teams-at the age of nine or ten, and of course they are more-likely to view as talented the bigger and more coordinated players, who have had the benefic of critical extra month of maturity.
And what happens when a player gets chosen for a red squad? He gets better coaching, and his team-mates are better, and he plays fifty or seventy-five games a season instead of twenty games a season like those left behind in the "house" league, and he practices twice as much as, or even three times more than, he would have otherwise. In the beginning, his advantage isn't so much that he is inherently better but only that he is a little older
What I'm curious about is this.

*

*but only that(bolded) -> As I found a dictionary, "but" means "except that" and "only that" means the same. if so, "but only that" is duplication of words with the same meaning so grammatically wrong,
doesn't it??

A: Except that isn't the only meaning of but! See this

I can't play the piano but I can sing.

His advantage is not that he is a better player but that he is older.
