Q: Why would certain torrent trackers not let me upload? When I download torrents from certain trackers (usually ones with set ratio limits), I can't seem to upload much, even when download is blazingly fast.
On other trackers (sadly - the ones with no ratio), after I finish downloading (and even while downloading), I manage to get up to 30KB/s upload, and pass 1.0 ratio in no time.
Why would this happen? Am I throtelled back by some trackers for some reason?

A: On trackers with ratio limits, users are usually more keen on keeping their ratio high, so they download new files as fast as possible upon release so they can be one of the first users seeding and raise their ratio more. Then regular users like yourself download the file and have trouble seeding. This is because most of the users already have the file downloaded, and the ones that are downloading have plenty of seeds, so each seeder will only need to contribute a smaller upload speed. The tracker is not throttling you whatsoever though, just jump on new torrents faster!

A: Many people on private trackers also have servers that are seeding for them. Usually in the 100mbit to 1gbit speed range. Pair this up with automatic download scripts (Not RSS, which gets polled every few minutes, but something like an IRC announce parser script), and you have dedicated servers with 100mbit or 1gbit connections that are downloading new releases near instantly as soon as they are on the tracker. This makes it virtually impossible for normal home leechers to attain a 1.0 ratio on said torrent, but it is possible, if you have the space to accommodate all of the files that were downloaded, the bandwidth to continue seeding, and the patience to wait.
Also take into consideration that a private tracker has a smaller userbase than a public tracker. If you download a torrent, it's not as likely that the other members will also download that same torrent compared to a public tracker where the chances are increased.
This is why those types of trackers are better geared for people with servers or fast connections, as those without them aren't likely to 'survive' in that environment which enforces minimum ratio requirements.
Keep in mind though, not all private trackers are like this, but a good chunk of them are (Unfortunately for many, usually the ones worth being a part of).

Even a simple home renovation project can get extremely complicated and complex and most homeowners are just not sure what to expect.
Unless your contractor has the real world experience and proven methods in place you could become another Renovation Horror Story.
During the initial call we will ask many questions to better understand your current project and how we are best able to serve your needs. At the end of the call we will schedule a time for our initial site visit and project consultation as well as provide you with several resources our clients have found helpful when evaluating contractors.
During your Project Consultation, we will review the material we previously provided and learn more about the space to be renovated.
It is during this meeting we like to dig deep to discover what you like and more importantly dislike about the current space, who will be using the renovated space and for what activities.
We'll discuss the pros/cons of various materials, cabinet options, layout and floor plan options and answer any questions you may have about our company.
Next, we will take detailed measurements of the space, investigate the current condition of structure and utilities serving it and finally discuss the costs of similar projects and how these match up with your target investment.
At the end of the project consultation, we will schedule a time to get together again and review the design agreement.
Often, homeowners have hired an architect for the design of their project.
However many times they look to us since we work with certified architects that will work with you from the very start.
In assembling the design agreement we create an initial scope of work including any alternative options we may have discussed during the project consultation.
From this initial scope of work, we assemble the initial estimated budget for your project.
The agreement also details the steps needed to move forward towards final proposal with our fixed price guarantee.
Once the design agreement is complete we meet again to discuss the details and answer any questions you may have regarding the initial scope and estimated budget.
Based on the final design, we will submit a complete, detailed, no surprises, estimate that will detail the scope of your project, specific work to be done and the allowances for materials and fixtures. You'll know exactly what you're getting for your investment.
With the design phase completed we meet again to review and sign the final proposal and answer any questions, you might have.
We will assist you with your material selection and our preferred vendors will work with you on specific materials selections that are in your budgeted allowances.
One of the biggest complaints homeowners have about their contractor is poor communication about their project and that they don't know what's going on.
Our clients don't have that problem.
Approximately 1 week before your project starts your project manager will review with you the details about your project.
Designate an area to be used for tool and material storage/staging.
Your Project Manger will be available for the duration of your project and can answer any specific questions that may come up.
Once construction begins we work hard to communicate the progress of your project.
At the end of the day, our job site is still your family's home and we work hard to minimize disruptions to your daily routine.
Sometimes, once construction begins, you may want to add additional materials or components to your project that were not covered in the original design.
These are handled with Change Orders and must be written, agreed upon and paid per the terms of the change order when the change is accepted.
When your project is completed and you're ready to move back into the space we'll conduct a thorough walk-through of your project with you to ensure your complete satisfaction and to collect any final payment that is due.
Your project is backed by a full 1-year warrantee on all of our work.
Remember: The fact that so many contractors come and go, a warrantee does you no good if the company is out of business.
Once the project is done we don't simply disappear.
We have a follow-up plan in place to make sure that years down the road your new project looks as great as the day we finished.
We encourage our clients to contact us for all of their home renovation/repair needs.
If it's not a service we offer we can you refer you to one of our trusted trade partners. These are companies we would use for our own homes.
We understand that most people get a bit anxious when they are looking for and working with a renovation contractor to create their dream kitchen, bathroom, extension or custom renovation project.
We want to assure you that doing a project with our company will virtually eliminate the headaches, frustrations, and problems that are all too common in the home renovation industry.
We invite you to learn about our company, our proven process to ensure a smooth project and discover how we're setting a whole new standard in the greater Dublin area for home renovations, extensions and attic conversions and more that few companies can match.

Q: Paging is not working in GridView while appending values using jQuery Here i have a gridview and i append the retrieved data to it using jquery. I want to use paging in the gridview. But it is not working. I dont know why.. because it works perfectly fine when i use the same method in other applications that binds the grid normally without jquery. Please review my code and tell me what is wrong
this is my grid,
<form runat="server">
   <asp:GridView ID="GridView1" ClientIDMode="Static" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" AllowPaging="True" PageSize="5" GridLines="None" CellSpacing="10" >

   </asp:GridView>

this is my jquery code that appends value(bind) to the grid,
$("#search-user")
       .button()
       .click(function () {
           $.ajax({
               contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",

        var i = 0;
        var content;

Colombia's peso on Monday fluctuated between gains and losses as concern the central bank will buy dollars in the spot market to ease gains in the currency's world-beating rally offset increases in commodities.
The currency fell 0.1 percent to 1,819.8 per dollar at 10:58 a.m. New York time, from 1,817.48 on Aug. 27. The peso has risen 12.3 percent this year, the best performance among all currencies tracked by Bloomberg. It is up 1.3 percent in August.
Colombia's central bank may intervene in the currency market if the peso strengthens to more than 1,800 per dollar, Camilo Perez, head analyst at Banco de Bogota SA, Colombia's second-biggest lender, said today. The Reuters-Jefferies CRB Index of commodities rose 0.2 percent.


For most, the airport is the first stop on your holidays, you drop off your bags and unwind in one of the many airport bars.
A visit to Manchester Airport over the last five years could open your eyes to a range incidents that are not synonymous with the holiday buzz.
Sexual indecency, theft and personal violence are rife at Manchester Airport – with more than 200 incidents in the last five years.
Figures reveal 105 incidents of personal violence, 11 incidents of sexual indecency, 85 thefts, and five public order and suspicious behavior offences.
Most worrying are the 22 offences against members of staff and Public and Commercial Services Union's North West organiser Peter Middleton blasted the perpetrators.
He said: "PCS takes the health, safety and welfare of its members very seriously and works with Airport authorities and agencies to ensure that risks and hazards are routinely assessed and managed.
"Incidents of assault and verbal abuse from passengers are too common and should not be tolerated but we recognise that they can explained by delays arising from staff shortages and other government cuts.
Numerous staff members have been verbally and physically assaulted, another had a drink thrown in their face while one was head butted by another member of staff.
Another former employee had to be escorted from the premises when they broke into the staff kitchen, assaulted a member of staff before escaping to throw more punches.
One disgruntled customer threw a drink in the face of a Thompson rep and a phone containing indecent images was found in the staff room.
An argument between two more holiday makers became so heated that a woman had to inform police that her boyfriend had assaulted her at the check-in desk.
An airport bus driver was the victim of an assault by a man who subsequently fled the scene in his car.
Some incidents of violence have even spilled onto aircraft, with police called to one incident where intoxicated passengers came to blows minutes before takeoff.
Incidents in the airport are the responsibility of the airport police – who deal with incidents according to normal procedure – and they believe that incidents of crime have not increased.
A police spokesman from the airport said that there has not been an increase in crime generally or assaults on staff, officers, members of the public. He also said there is no evidence of the number of thefts rising.
The total of annual incidents has risen from 38 in 2008 to 50 in 2011 and figures for 2012 showed 32 incidents by the end of October.
There have been more than 20 incidents of sexual indecency or assault over the last five years including incidents involving staff and passengers.
One member of staff was sexually assaulted by another whilst cleaning a plane while one passenger stripped naked on a flight and had to be chased through the airport.
One man was propositioned in the toilet and another woman was sexually assaulted on the bus from the plane to the terminal.
An incident where a male grabbed a 10-year-old child took place in the toilets before running away, and another male exposed himself to children in the car park.
Another male was caught exposing himself to a group of children in the car park before fleeing quickly in his car.
Indecent images have been found on four phones and two women have been inappropriately stroked and propositioned while waiting for their flights.
There has only been one incident of suspicious behaviour reported with the passenger in question refusing to show documentation and had to be detained.
There has been only one incident of drunken behaviour for which the police have been called with the passenger attempting to force his way through a boarding gate.
Theft has also exploded at the airport, with smart phones and iPads amongst the most common items snatched.
There have been nearly 90 incidents of theft with most items swiped from unattended bags and others from luggage carousels.
Gangs of pickpockets are also operational at the airport with opportunist thieves capitalising on the relaxed frame of mind of holiday makers.
A Manchester Airport spokesman said: "We take incidents of this nature very seriously and work closely with the support organisations on site such as the Police to ensure incidents are dealt with appropriately.

Is this Reading's most expensive one-bedroom flat?
The flat is part of the Hewitt development in Reading town centre
Hugh FortReporter
Reading's most expensive one-bed?
This is likely to become one of Reading's priciest one-bedroom flats - when it's finished.
The apartment in the exclusive Hewitt development is said to be due for completion in December (we assume this year) and is on the market for a sturdy £264,950.
Small change if you're a Russian oil billionaire, granted, but quite a lot for a one-bed apartment for a first-time buyer.
Particularly if you bear in mind the average price for a HOUSE in Reading is now £265,000.
However, it could be a very cool place to live.
This flat is on the ninth floor of the new development in Alfred Street.
The spec on Rightmove says for your money you get a double bedroom, a "contemporary -styled open living area", a well-fitted kitchen with appliances and under-floor heating.
It's also "walking distance to the train station and the Oracle" (like most places in the town centre).
It's being marketed by Haslams and more details are available here .
However, there is hope.
At the other end of the scale is this one-bed flat in George Street in Caversham.
On the market for a much more reasonable £149,950 ("For a flat??" Gasp people in Middlesbrough), the flat is close to town and pretty cheap.
It's marketed by Romans and more details are available here .
A one-bedroom flat in George Street in Reading, on for £149,950

Kinepolis Group will soon open Europe's first all-Barco laser multiplex in Breda, the Netherlands. The new, ten-screen Kinepolis cinema complex will feature one Barco Flagship Laser and nine Barco phosphor laser projectors.
A long-term Barco customer, Kinepolis group has always been an early adopter of Barco's Flagship Laser projectors: in 2014, it was the first European cinema exhibitor to introduce Barco's Flagship Laser technology.
"Just like Barco, Kinepolis Group is on a constant quest to introduce new, innovative technologies that help bring back the magic of the movies. We knew that our investment in Barco's laser-illuminated projectors would help us bring the movie-going experience to new levels. We've been proven right," said Eddy Duquenne, CEO of Kinepolis Group. Duquenne and his team have now confirmed their trust in Barco's laser technology by going all-Barco laser in Breda.
The largest auditorium in the Breda multiplex will feature a Barco Flagship Laser projector (DP4K-30L). In the other cinema rooms, Kinepolis will install five DP2K-15CLP and four 20,000-lumen DP2K-20CLP laser phosphor projectors.
"With our laser phosphor projectors, the Kinepolis multiplex in Breda is sure to enjoy superior image quality, while saving money due to the absence of xenon lamps. Our Flagship Laser projector, for its part, will ensure exceptional image quality at Kinepolis' Laser Ultra theatre. More than that, surveys have confirmed that moviegoers will return more often to the cinema theater for a movie in razor-sharp, laser quality. Kinepolis choice of laser was therefore also a smart one from a revenue – and marketing – point of view," said Stijn Hendrickx, vice president cinema for Barco.

Mona Lisa, 1503/06 by Leonardo da Vinci, Musee de Louvre, Paris.
The mystery surrounding one of the most famous paintings in the world stems from the unknown identity of the sitter and the fact that the artist is one of the most famous artists of the Italian Renaissance. Leonardo used a painting technique he created called sfumato.

Dreamforce Musings: Why the Real Cloud Has Gained Momentum
I had the rare and great opportunity to attend the opening two days of Dreamforce last week. Rare, because I can't remember the last user conference I went to as an attendee rather than a speaker (turns out it's a lot less stressful to be in the audience.
I had the rare and great opportunity to attend the opening two days of Dreamforce last week. Rare, because I can't remember the last user conference I went to as an attendee rather than a speaker (turns out it's a lot less stressful to be in the audience ☺). And great, because it truly was a great event, with the de facto ambassador of the enterprise cloud, Marc Benioff, playing the roles of preacher, humanitarian (Salesforce.com Foundation does some really great things), and innovator throughout the event. I've had a week to digest the happenings @ Dreamforce, and thought I'd share a few takeaways:
Dreamforce is beginning to rival the biggest user conferences on the planet, with more than 30,000 customers, prospects, press, and analysts having registered for the event. If anyone needs further proof that the cloud is real and here to stay, they should've witnessed the crowds, excitement, and energy at Dreamforce. It was truly awesome.
The event felt more like a revival or a movement than a user conference. Partly because the cloud is a movement, and partly because Marc is a great evangelist.
The energy and optimism levels reminded me of the early days of ERP: New vendors hawking their services and wares; established vendors like Accenture and Deloitte beginning to make a big presence; and individuals and organizations alike sensing the opportunity to reinvent themselves around the cloud. Salesforce does an amazing job of serving both customers and non-customers alike at its user conference—I took notes, Marc!
There was evidence everywhere that businesses of all sizes have embraced cloud computing. When Marc asked during his keynote how many in the audience were from companies of greater than 1,000 employees, hands shot up across the packed conference hall.
The product announcements and demos validated something I've been feeling for some time: The technology revolution taking place isn't just about the cloud—it's about the convergence of the cloud, "consumerization" of enterprise technologies, and mobility. And with multi-tenancy and native Web architectures, vendors like Salesforce.com and Workday are able to innovate for this revolution at a dizzying pace. Dreamforce provided just some of the examples of this increased pace of innovation, specifically as cloud platforms have become more mature and full featured, allowing developers to build more usable functionality and native applications for the iOS, Android, and WM7 mobile devices at an ever-accelerating pace.
While there was a ton of energy, packed conference halls, and real innovation happening at Dreamforce, I understand SAP was holding a summit about 20 miles away. The amount of news stories, blogs, and tweets from Dreamforce (the hashtag #df10 actually trended on Twitter) blasted away the buzz on the old stuff. And while it seems to me SAP takes a somewhat tentative approach to innovation—unsure of where and how to take the leap into modern and better technologies—the vast majority of customers that I talk to want innovative solutions, and they want them now.
As Workday's co-founder and co-CEO, I'm a true believer in the cloud movement and admittedly have a biased perspective. But once upon a time, I was a product executive at a legacy enterprise application vendor. When I look back at the dramatic changes since those days at PeopleSoft, I really do wonder how software vendors that depend so heavily on traditional models will ever make the leap into the cloud. (And I mean true cloud computing—hybrid or hosted R/3 is not a cloud, it's just warmed-over hosting.)
If SAP can get its cloud strategy and Business ByDesign offering on track, it'll be good for the industry and good for competition. But based on where I've been and where I am now, what I've seen from SAP, what we're doing here at Workday, and what I'm witnessing from the cloud vendors around me, I just don't see it happening anytime soon.

Interagency Agreements
In FY 2016, NIEHS provided support for NTP activities through interagency agreements with other federal agencies.
FDA/NCTR
In December 1992, NIEHS and FDA established a formal interagency agreement to conduct toxicology studies on FDA-regulated agents nominated to NTP and studies at NCTR. These studies are designed to provide FDA and other regulatory agencies with hazard identification and dose-response data to support risk assessment and risk management decisions that could affect public health.
This interagency agreement has supported studies on endocrine active agents, dietary supplements, food contaminants, AIDS therapeutics, pediatric medicines, electromagnetic radiation, cosmetics, and nanoscale materials. Studies in these areas have produced 18 published NTP Technical Reports and over 250 peer-reviewed journal publications. Some of the data from the interagency agreement-supported studies have led to an increased understanding of the pharmacokinetics, mechanism of action, or dose-response of substances. Other data have led to refinement of risk assessment models.
CDC/NIOSH
NIEHS/NTP has two interagency agreements with NIOSH. One interagency agreement was established in the early 1990s in response to increased efforts by NTP to study noncancer endpoints. NIOSH and NIEHS/NTP have conducted studies to assess the potential toxicity of exposures to substances such as fungi, mycotoxins, volatile organics, lead, latex, nickel, isocyanates, nanomaterials, and beryllium in occupationally exposed populations. Studies have included workers such as miners, farmers, health care workers, autoworkers, and firefighters exposed to mixtures of chemicals. Several studies examine how genetic variability in immune-inflammatory-antioxidant responses contributes to the development and severity of inflammatory and allergic disease in people of different occupations. NIEHS/NTP and NIOSH are also leveraging the capability of a unique acoustical generating system located at NIOSH to evaluate the potential health effects of exposure to airborne molds in short-term toxicology studies.
The second interagency agreement involves multiple projects. NIEHS/NTP and NIOSH have worked to establish methodologies to assess complex mixtures, such as asphalt fume, welding fume, and tungsten fibers, and to conduct exposure assessments in occupational settings to identify toxicologically relevant exposures. During FY 2016, NIEHS/NTP and NIOSH completed a study evaluating occupational exposure to bisphenol A. Two additional projects are ongoing. The first focuses on an assessment of occupational exposure to alternative flame retardants used in manufacturing, construction, and service industries. The second project assesses exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by applicators of coal tar sealants.
Many studies performed under these interagency agreements are published in the peer-reviewed literature and have been used for hazard identification, and regulatory and intervention purposes.
NIH/NCATS/DPI
This interagency agreement supports ongoing and anticipated studies conducted at the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences/Division of Pre-Clinical Innovation, to evaluate high throughput and high content screening assays in support of Tox21. Tox21 is an ongoing collaboration among federal agencies to characterize the potential toxicity of chemicals by using cells and isolated molecular targets instead of laboratory animals. This collaboration between NIEHS/NTP and NCATS/DPI should produce data for substances lacking needed toxicological information that can be used to prioritize substances for further studies, including toxicological evaluation, mechanisms of action investigation, and development of predictive modeling for biological response. The use of the assays should greatly increase the number of substances tested and decrease the cost of testing.
Additional Agreements
NTP also established several smaller interagency agreements to conduct research, listed in the table below.
Additional Interagency Agreements in FY 2016
Study-Agency
Development of Tools for Evaluating NTP's Effectiveness - U.S. Department of Energy Research and development of tools, such as web-mining, that NIEHS can use in its research evaluations of the NTP's effectiveness.
Accelerating Development and Use of Computational Methods and Models - U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Accelerate development and use of computational methods and models for quantitative and qualitative assessments of the risks of environmental chemicals.

IOTA and other blockchain technologies in the BC100+ initiative also seek to bring much-needed changes in energy infrastructure, the global food system.
The BC100+ global initiative raises awareness about the potential of blockchain for sustainability and social impact.
It's a big win for the stakeholders of the IOTA ecosystem as the IOTA Foundation has become part of the Blockchain for the UN charter values and the SDGs action plan 100+.
Under the leadership of H.E. Csaba Körösi, President of the 77th UN General Assembly, the BC100= global initiative seeks to convene the blockchain ecosystem to the broader efforts of UN Agencies and other global initiatives.
⚡ #IOTA joins BC100+, a global @UN initiative under the High Patronage of @UN_PGA, that explores the potential of blockchain and #DLT technology to address systemic issues such as inequality, poverty and #climatechange.https://t.co/8ctTEq8SLy
— IOTA (@iota) January 16, 2023
By getting a variety of organizations together across multiple sectors, the BC100+ global initiative raises awareness about the potential of blockchain for sustainability and social impact. It also explores the potential of blockchain technologies to address global issues of climate change, inequality, and poverty by rebuilding trust and empowering communities on the global level.
As we know, the IOTA Foundation has been working with global partners to develop technologies that can deliver sustainable and real-world impact. Being part of this BC100+ initiative shows that IOTA commands huge trust and transparency among big organizations.
Leveraging the power of IOTA and other blockchain technologies in the BC100+ initiative also seeks to bring much-needed changes in energy infrastructure, the global food system, as well as biodiversity protection. Working with IOTA and other partners, BC100+ will develop a comprehensive roadmap to address critical societal and sustainability challenges and further drive systematic transformation by using blockchain technology.
IOTA's Contribution to Noble Initiatives
This is not the first time that IOTA has been part of a bigger global initiative. In the past, IOTA has partnered with multiple such initiatives across different societal issues.
For e.g. the bIOTAsphere projects from IOTA seeks to work with different partners across the globe towards a common goal of net-zero emissions. By leveraging blockchain technology, bIOTAsphere offers an entirely collaborative and non-profit collaborative wherein diverse communities can interact. Similarly, other participating players can leverage IOTA's open, secure, public, and immutable protocol to build a sustainable infrastructure.
Using a proven value of the Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG), the bIOTAsphere also seeks to commercialize IOTA applications. The primary goal of bIOTAsphere is to "demonstrate innovation of existing business models through proof of concepts and work with industry leaders to take these innovations further".
Furthermore, IOTA has also partnered with Gold Standard and ClimateCHECK to drive the digital transformation of the carbon market. The goal with this initiative is to improve accessibility, data quality, and resource mobilization of the carbon markets. These three players will work together in improving the supply side, the demand side, and the interoperability of the carbon market.

Email: joewillsurvey@gmail.com
Serving Florida and all states upon request All surveys are to ABYC,SAMS, NFPA and USCG and ASA standards
We use the below agencies criteria for all surveys:
The Society of Accredited Marine Surveyors (SAMS) has its roots in the International Maritime Technical Institute Conference held in Brunswick, Maine during the latter part of 1986. Most of the participants expressed a desire to belong to a professional society of Marine Surveyors who would have a different purpose and outlook than found in the existing professional organizations of the day. Among the participants were the late Jim Robbins of C.A. Hansen Corporation and the late Fred Lowe, formerly, Instructor of Marine Surveying at the Chapman School of Seamanship, Stuart, Florida. Jim Robbins and Fred Lowe founded the Society of Accredited Marine Surveyors during the early part of 1987 and enlisted the late Michael Strocchi of Strocchi & Co. to join them on the original Board of Directors. A carefully chosen cadre of fifty (50) Charter Members was solicited to be the foundation of the organization. Over the next 18 months and three national meetings, the organization of SAMS® was put into place. The Society headquarters was moved to Jacksonville, Florida, where it continues to provide services to its members. SAMS® is intended to be an organization of Professional Marine Surveyors who have come together to promote the good image and general well being of their chosen profession. Accredited Marine Surveyor members are surveyors who have accumulated time in the profession, and have proven the technical skills necessary for designation as AMS®. There is, through the Surveyor Associate program, the opportunity for less experienced members to participate in SAMS® and hone their skills under the tutelage of Accredited Marine Surveyors in their local area. Affiliate members, who benefit from the association with the Society's members, are professionals, corporations, and organizations active in the marine field. Accredited Marine Surveyors are expected to follow a course of continuing education to maintain their accreditation. Members are guided by a code of ethics and are encouraged to participate in other organizations relative to the marine field. SAMS® intends a controlled growth. Our organization is actively seeking skilled professionals who have a need to achieve and maintain a standard of excellence in their profession.
The American Society of Appraisers: (ASA) is a multi-discipline, non-profit, international organization of professional appraisers representing all appraisal disciplines: Appraisal Review and Management, Business Valuation, Gems and Jewelry, Machinery and Technical Specialties, Personal Property and Real Property. Our mission is to foster the public trust of our members and the appraisal profession through compliance with the highest levels of ethical and professional standards. The American Society of Appraisers:
Fosters professional excellence in its membership through education, accreditation, publication and other services with an emphasis on professional ethics to protect the public;
Establishes and maintains principles of appraisal practice and a code of ethics for the guidance of our Members;
Provides valuation education to practicing appraisers and others;

Promotes research and development in all fields of the appraisal profession; and
History of ASA
The American Society of Technical Appraisers (ASTA) and the Technical Valuation Society (TVS), organized in 1936 and 1939 respectively, were consolidated; thus was created the American Society of Appraisers (ASA).
ASA is a nonprofit organization of individuals that was incorporated in the state of Delaware in 1952 to establish an effective professional affiliation of appraisers of all disciplines, working cooperatively to elevate the standards of the appraisal profession.
By reason of this broad concept, the society occupies a unique position among all professional appraisal societies in that it recognizes and is concerned with all classes of property: real, personal, tangible, and intangible.
Article II, Sections 1 through 6, in the April 2000 edition of ASA's constitution outlines the objectives of ASA as follows:
The society shall promote the exchange of ideas and experiences among its members; cultivate the profession of appraising; establish and maintain principles of appraisal practice and a code of ethics for the guidance of its members; maintain universal recognition that members of the society are objective, unbiased appraisers and consultants of property values; award one or more professional designations to qualified members of the society; and seek to attain recognition of the profession by both public and private enterprise.
The society recognizes that there are basic communities of concept, purpose, thought, practice, and standards that are common to the many appraisal fields in which its members engage and that their guided promotion and establishment are vital to each and all such special fields and to the appraisal profession and to the public.
The society shall promote research and development in all phases of property economics; cooperate with other appraisal and valuation societies and related professions and with finance, economics, engineering, architecture, accounting, building construction and related interests, real estate, insurance, taxation, and management; and approve and adopt reports of its committees or other groups as to standards, codes, and recommended practices.
The society shall forbid the use of its name, emblem, or initials in any manner not in accord with its constitution, bylaws, principles of appraisal practice, and code of ethics.
The society shall have the power to do any act or thing necessary to its functioning.
The board of governors shall establish an Educational Foundation with the purpose that the Educational Foundation shall encourage the advancement in appraising of all classes of property, both real and personal.
The American Boat & Yacht Council, (ABYC), was created in 1954 as a non-profit organization to develop safety standards for the design, construction, equipage, repair and maintenance of boats. Mission: The role of the American Boat & Yacht Council (ABYC) is to be the essential source of technical information for the international marine industry. We will develop product safety standards, credentialing, education, training, and other tools to equip our members to be successful. Everything we do will support our members to achieve the goal of making boating safer. Vision: The American Boat & Yacht Council, ABYC, will maximize customer satisfaction with the boating experience through safety standards for products, service and repair. Safety: Working with organizations such as the US Coast Guard, ABYC publishes over 70 documents that outline engineering guidance for the construction and repair of boats. When boats are built and repaired "by the book" it means ABYC! Boating Safety, built in... Boats/Accessories Federal Regulations cover very little when it comes to boat and accessory construction. This is where the Standards of the ABYC take over. Our documents are much more comprehensive and address new technologies. Buying a new boat built to ABYC standards means you have Boating Safety, Built in. The National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) certifies boats using the ABYC Standards. Is your new boat built by an ABYC Member? Make sure your critical safety equipment is manufactured by an ABYC member.
Boating Safety Checklist App: Boat Essentials-USCG Safety Gear is a simple checklist app to help you identify the safety items you are required to have onboard your boat and make suggestions on other items that will make your boat safer and more comfortable.
The Fort Lauderdale Mariner's Club(FLMC) first met at the Cafe De Geneve on March 2, 1989.
Objectives of the Club are simple and straightforward. We are a non-profit, non-political organization devoted to the promotion of friendly associations among our members, to encourage high standards of business practice throughout the community and to provide a forum to improve the marine industry in South Florida. The focal point of the Club's activities is the marine seminar we hold prior to the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show in October of each year. The first marine seminar, held in 1989, was attended by more than 150 people. Today, the seminar draws more than 500 participants from all walks of the marine community. The interesting slate of speakers, coupled with the opportunity for attendees to interact with each other in a vibrant setting, has made the marine seminar a truly international event. Monthly luncheons, along with purely social events held throughout the year, are planned to provide friendly settings for our members to get together. Although competitors in one sense, we have a lot in common and much to offer each other. The Club strives to be an avenue for free discussions and exchanges of information that will be of assistance to all members. Today, the club numbers over 200 active members from all parts of the marine industry here in South Florida and beyond. We invite all marine seminar attendees and other interested persons from the maritime industries to meet with us, to exchange ideas with your peers, and to enjoy our common backgrounds and careers.
The idea of a "Mariners Club" is not new. The first clubs originated with national sponsorship assistance from Babaco Alarm Systems of Moonachie, New Jersey, during the early 1950s in the Chicago and New York areas. Today, there are more than 30 clubs throughout the country, the largest of which is in Houston.
The concept of a local club had been discussed among people in the marine industry for several years. Near the end of 1988, several people in the area, some of whom were members of other clubs, got together and with the assistance of Gary Genovese and Carl Taylor of the law firm of Conrad, Scherer & James, decided to proceed with the idea. These "founding members" who served as the first board for the club had the first official meeting of the Ft. Lauderdale Mariners Club at the Cafe De Geneve on March 2, 1989. Those who joined early on comprised the "Charter Members" of the Club. The idea of a social club composed of people from all facets of the marine industry caught on quickly. Today, the club numbers over 200 active members from all parts of the marine industry here in South Florida and beyond. Objectives of the club are simple and straightforward. It is a non-profit, non-political organization devoted to promote friendly associations among our members, to encourage high standards of business practice throughout the community, and to provide a forum to improve the marine industry here in South Florida. The focal point of the club's activities is the seminar held prior to the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show in October of each year. The first seminar, held in 1989, was well attended by over 150 people. Recent seminars have drawn well over 500 participants from all walks of the marine community. The always interesting slate of speakers, coupled with the opportunity for attendees to interact with each other in a vibrant setting, has made each seminar a truly international event. Monthly luncheons, along with purely social events held throughout the year, are planned to provide friendly settings for our members to get together. Although competitors in one sense, club members have a lot in common and a lot to offer each other. The club strives to be an avenue for free discussions and exchanges of information that will be of assistance to all members. All seminar attendees and other interested parties are invited to meet with members to swap ideas and thoughts and discover some common ground. The Ft. Lauderdale Mariners Club is your club, designed to benefit each member individually and the group as a whole.

A right tetrahedron, also known as trirectangular tetrahedron, is a tetrahedron with three right angled triangles and a base triangle. By studying Pythagorean triples and quadruples, we deduce the existence of different types of right tetrahedra. Three cases of right tetrahedra are the focus of this paper: (i) Right tetrahedra with all integer edges (ii) Right tetrahedra with integer face areas, and (iii) Right tetrahedra with integer face areas and integer principal edges. Case (iii) constitutes the original work of this paper. The constructive method we use for this case allow us to classify existence of such tetrahedra as well as provide an algorithm to find those integer values from a given set of Pythagorean quadruple.

While much of the public considers "The Simpsons" to be family-friendly, the show has always been aimed primarily at adults and was the foundation on which the genre of "adult animation" was built. Despite the show's popularity among kids, putting "The Simpsons" on Disney Plus" would subvert the very identity of the show, especially when Disney now has Hulu for more adult-oriented fare.

White Patch is a coastal town and locality of Bribie Island in the Moreton Bay Region, Queensland, Australia. In the  the locality of White Patch had a population of 142 people.

Geography
White Patch is on the western side of Bribie Island, adjacent to the Pumicestone Channel which forms its western boundary. Wright Creek passes through the southern part of the locality into Pumicestone Channel. The land along the western coast has residential development. The remaining land is undeveloped land, with two areas ( and ) being within the Bribie Island National Park.

History

The town was originally called Bribie, but was renamed White Patch on 1 September 1980. The name White Patch refers a sand patch formerly visible from Pumicestone Channel.

In 1799 Matthew Flinders beached his sloop Norfolk for repairs at White Patch.

The Queensland Government sold 140 town lots in the Town of Bribie at the "White Patch" in 1887.

A Department of Public Lands cadastral map drawn up in June 1925 shows properties facing Pumicestone Channel, bordered by Maud street on the north west, Charles Street to the north and Bunbuba Street on the south east.

In November 1948, fishermen at White Patch claimed to have seen a sea serpent. It was described as being brown or yellow "like a banana",  long with large eyes and was accompanied by smaller serpents (possibly its young). It was said to hiss and squeak. In December 1948, Eric Decker, the Member of the Queensland Legislative Assembly for Sandgate, caught such a "serpent" while on holidays at Bribie Island. Mr Mack, curator at the Queensland Museum, said the description was consistent with a common sea snake  in Moreton Bay.

In the , White Patch recorded a population of 112 people, 50% female and 50% male. The median age of the White Patch population was 53 years, 16 years above the national median of 37. 68.4% of people living in White Patch were born in Australia. The other top responses for country of birth were England 14%, New Zealand 4.4%, Germany 3.5%, Netherlands 3.5%, Sweden 2.6%. 92.2% of people spoke only English at home; the next most common languages were 2.6% French, 2.6% Swedish.

In the , the locality of White Patch had a population of 142 people.

Education
There are no schools in White Patch. The nearest government primary school is Banksia Beach State School in neighbouring Banksia Beach to the south-east. The nearest government secondary school is Bribie Island State High School in Bongaree to the south-east.

Attractions
A talking monument tells the story of the landing of Matthew Flinders on Bribie Island in July 1799.

Thoughts and ideas that drive performance enhancement and culture change in businesses and organizations.
The emission scandal began dragging down VW in September 2015. Not only did it put an irreparable mark on the credibility of the German national pride, it also began giving a rare insight into the culture of one of the biggest companies in the world a culture that might have gone sour.
Why copying a winning company culture might be the worst career move you'll ever make. Still ready made, winning cultural programs that – in hindsight – proved successful in another organization is implemented en mass.
A strong and deeply rooted performance culture is the aspiration of many leaders. But when it come time to change, the dream often turns into a nightmare.
What does former CEO of General Electric, Jack Welch have in common with IKEA founder, Ingvar Kamprad and CEO superstar Jørgen Vig Knudstorp from LEGO?
A good confrontation is characterized by the relationship tightening and overall performance increasing. It sets clear standards and expectations. Still most leaders avoid them as much as humanly possible.

I went to the first of this year's Christmas gatherings today, my coffee group arranged a catch up for the families from our ante-natal class to get together before it all gets too hectic with kids 1st birthday parties, husband's work functions and family Christmas'. In true Kiwi fashion we all took along a plate. My contribution was a gluten free chocolate cake (as one of the Mum's in my coffee group has a severe gluten allergy). I was a bit nervous about it having never done any gluten free cooking before but it turned out well and was the most moist chocolate packed creation I have ever made!
Pre-heat oven to 180°C. Spray a 7" round spring-form cake tin with cooking spray, line the bottom with wax paper and spray the top of the wax paper as well.
Melt chocolate and butter in a saucepan over a medium heat. Stir until chocolate and butter are melted and smooth.
Add sugar and salt, reduce heat to low. Cook while stirring for about one minute, until sugar starts to dissolve.
Remove pan from heat. Whisk in eggs, one at a time. Add the vanilla and whisk. The mixture should look smooth and glossy.
Sift cocoa into mixture. Whisk until the cake batter is smooth.
Pour batter into prepared pan and bake in preheated oven for about 25 minutes. The centre of the cake should be just firm to the touch, but be careful to not over bake the cake or it will be dry.
To prepare the glaze, melt chopped chocolate and butter in a saucepan. When melted and smooth, remove the pan from heat.
Let the glaze cool for about 5 minutes before pouring it on the cake.
Oh Yum! The cake looks so decadent and scrumptious!! Yummy yummy yummy!

March is Women's History Month and as an all-female office, we figured why not celebrate that! We're honoring women from Liberty County that have made an impact on our community and beyond. These women each have their own distinct legacy and all have been instrumental in affecting change in the lives of many others!
Mary Musgrove was a child of bicultural beginnings, she was born to an English trader & his wife, a Creek Indian. Musgrove grew up embracing both cultures she was born into and taking advantage of her heritage to maintain peace in the developing colony of Georgia. Utilizing her ability to speak both English and the Creek language she became a successful trader with her husband. She & her husband helped James Oglethorpe navigate the waters when interacting with the Creek Indians and subsequently helped settle St. Catherines Island. Musgrove later sold the island to Button Gwinnett (one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence).
Susie King Taylor was born a slave on Isle of Wight in Liberty County. Despite the harsh laws of the time period she was able to receive a formal education at secret schools. Because of the opportunity for education, Taylor later went on to become the first African American to teach openly in a school for freed slaves. After marrying she joined her husband's regiment and taught African American soldiers to read & write during their free time. Taylor went on to establish multiple schools for African Americans and even wrote & published Reminiscences of My Life in Camp with the 33d United States Colored Troops, Late 1st S.C. Volunteers, making her the only African American woman to publish a memoir of her experiences while at war.
Elisabeth B. Moore began her six-year tenure as Dorchester Academy's sole female African American headmistress in 1925. Moore introduced physical education, as well as the use of educational movies at Dorchester in 1927. During Moore's time, Dorchester's football and basketball teams developed strongly. Moore also introduced swimming and tennis but died before the programs could be completed.
Carrie Kent Brown was one of five members of the all-women council appointed by then Governor Jimmy Carter when the city of Walthourville was incorporated in 1974. She would go on to become the first African American woman elected as mayor in the state of Georgia. Brown was determined to do great work in Walthourville and made it her mission to learn what was necessary for the city to succeed. She was a true trailblazer and made a difference in the lives of Walthourville citizens, as well as her own 10 children.
Second from the left, Lyndol Anderson was born in 1922 on a farm in Bulloch County. In 1942 she married William Hollis Anderson with whom she moved to Walthourville in 1958. The family opened Anderson's Groceries which was a small store that carried everything the community needed. Anderson was known to support those in need by giving away food and other items for free. The community in returned repaid Andersons's compassion with love and respect. Walthourville was incorporated in 1974 and Anderson became the first mayor surrounded by an all-female city council. Anderson wasn't just the first mayor of Walthourville, she was also the first female mayor in the state of Georgia.
Delisha Milton-Jones is a Riceboro native that graduated from Bradwell Institute. She played high school basketball and went on to play college basketball at the University of Florida. Milton-Jones played in the summer Olympics in 2000 & 2008, winning gold both times. In 2005, she became the second woman ever to coach a men's basketball team and in 2017 she became the head coach at Pepperdine University. She is one of the first in a long line of successful athletes to come from Liberty County.
Our last for now is Dawn Baker. Recognize that name? Yep she's an anchor on WTOC! Hailing again from Riceboro, Baker has created a legacy of empowering women that will be remembered for years to come. She joined WTOC in 1989 and is now the co-anchor for the 5:30 & 11:00 news. Her scholarship program, "The Dawning of a Miracle Scholarship," has awarded thousands of dollars to deserving young ladies with chronic or life-threatening illnesses striving to attend college. Her book Dawn's Daughter: Everything a Woman Needs to Know also donates a portion of the proceeds to the scholarship fund.
These are just a few examples of strong women in Liberty County and many more are leading the way today! We're looking forward to seeing many more strong women come out of our community in the future.

Two first half goals secure all three points.
AFC Sudbury travelled to Soham Town Rangers on Saturday and with two early first half goals sealed all three points with a solid performance.
AFC Sudbury's squad had a few absentee's with Joe Whight and Tom Monk missing long with the suspended Phil Kelly. Paul Hayes had the captains armband again.
The match started on a wet and windy day with AFC Sudbury trying to pass the ball through the Soham defense, but Soham managed to keep them at bay. On 11 minutes a Sudbury free kick was put just wide by Billy Holland, this spurred on the visitors who then took the lead on 15 minutes. Hayes grabbed the ball on the right and instead of crossing he half volleys the ball straight into the net, the Soham keeper with no chance saw the ball fly in off the post, a top class goal. It was all Sudbury now and just four minutes later they doubled their lead with academy player Liam Bennett side footing the ball in from a Hayes cross. 2-0.
It was Reece Harris who was next to come close for the visitors, but his touch failed at a crucial time and the on rushing home keeper managed to nick the ball from him. It was one way traffic now with Holland next to trouble the keeper and numerous passes from Sudbury Hollands effort was well held by Josh Pope. Then on the strike of half time Hayes hooked an effort just over the bar.
With the second half underway it was again the visitors who looked the more likely to score, Holland and Hayes having efforts go close. A few substitutions then followed by Soham and they did change the flow of the match, but Paul Walker in the Sudbury goal who had been quiet for 70 minutes was able to stop all efforts by Soham to get a goal. With the match drawing to an end Erkan Okay saw a red card for a late challenge on Sudbury's Tom Dettmar, the final whistle blew and the travelling fans awarded Paul Hayes their MOTM, with the very impressive Liam Bennett a very Close Second.
AFC Sudbury are back at The Mel Group Stadium on Saturday when Dereham Town will visit.

Q: Whatsapp share button for web version I have this script but its only share from mobile version.
$(document).ready(function() {
    $(document).on("click", '.mc_whatsapp_btn', function() {
        if (/Android|webOS|iPhone|iPad|iPod|BlackBerry|IEMobile|Opera Mini/i.test(navigator.userAgent)) {
            var text = $(this).attr("data-text");
            var url = $(this).attr("data-link");
            var message = encodeURIComponent(text) + " - " + encodeURIComponent(url);
            var whatsapp_url = ".whatsapp://send?text=" + message;
            window.location.href =  whatsapp_url;
        } else {
            alert("Please use an Mobile Device to Share this Status");
        }
    });
});

Can anyone modify this?

A: This line
if (/Android|webOS|iPhone|iPad|iPod|BlackBerry|IEMobile|Opera Mini/i.test(navigator.userAgent)) {

checks for mobile and if true, the share logic is executed. In the else branch (meaning it's not a mobile) you get an error message. If you want the same to happen in both versions, just omit the if:
$(document).ready(function() {
    $(document).on("click", '.mc_whatsapp_btn', function() {
        //if (/Android|webOS|iPhone|iPad|iPod|BlackBerry|IEMobile|Opera Mini/i.test(navigator.userAgent)) {
            var text = $(this).attr("data-text");
            var url = $(this).attr("data-link");
            var message = encodeURIComponent(text) + " - " + encodeURIComponent(url);
            var whatsapp_url = ".whatsapp://send?text=" + message;
            window.location.href =  whatsapp_url;
        //} else {
            //alert("Please use an Mobile Device to Share this Status");
        }
    });
});

A: According the WhatsApp docs: https://faq.whatsapp.com/general/chats/how-to-use-click-to-chat/?lang=en
To create a link with just a pre-filled message, use https://wa.me/?text=urlencodedtext
Example: https://wa.me/?text=I'm%20inquiring%20about%20the%20apartment%20listing`
The result should be something like:
$(document).ready(function() {
$(document).on("click", '.mc_whatsapp_btn', function() {
// this 3 rows will be used for both - desktop and mobile
    var text = $(this).attr("data-text");
    var url = $(this).attr("data-link");
    var message = encodeURIComponent(text) + " - " + encodeURIComponent(url);
    if (/Android|webOS|iPhone|iPad|iPod|BlackBerry|IEMobile|Opera Mini/i.test(navigator.userAgent)) {
        var whatsapp_url = ".whatsapp://send?text=" + message;
    } else {
        var whatsapp_url = "https://wa.me/?text=" + message;
    }
    // again for both
    window.location.href =  whatsapp_url;
});

});

In 2003, a resident of Gatineau (Aylmer) realized that while the vast majority of our students were happy and lacking in something, some of them needed help. More specifically, she realized that children were coming to school hungry and had nothing to eat for the day. National statistics confirm this: according to UNICEF's most recent data, one in six Canadian children lives in poverty.
Hard to believe, but she found that even in our own community, in our children's schools, teachers and supervisors paid meals to hungry children from their own pockets. A hungry child can not focus on his lessons or learn anything, so begins the cycle of poverty.
The decision was made to take action to help these children in need and this is how Hunger to Help came into being.

Brawlhalla now features cross-play between Nintendo Switch and Xbox One
Brawlhalla is now a step closer to becoming the unified game that developer Blue Mammoth is planning. Much as it happens with the action RPG Dauntless, Brawlhalla is set to become one game across all platforms.
Phase Three of this plan was recently completed, as Nintendo Switch and Xbox One players can now play together. Brawlhalla players in these platforms will be able to matchmake in all queues and join each other's lobbies. Everything that you could do before is now available to do between these two platforms.
Now it's a matter of moving on to Phase Four, with further details coming soon.
Brawlhalla remains comfortably as one of the best platform fighting games ever made. Clearly inspired by the Super Smash Bros. series, this is a fun and addictive free-to-play fighter with a very healthy player base.
