Houston Welcomes the 'Werq the World' Tour
Wednesday, January 24, 2018 by Ryan Bellinghausen
As RuPaul says, "You betta werq"… the world. On February 7, Jones Hall will roll out the hot pink carpet for the Werq the World tour featuring some of the most memorable and fiercest queens in RuPaul's Drag Race herstory. The North American leg of the tour, which already slayed in Europe, is hosted by Michelle Visage and stars Kim Chi, Detox, Latrice Royale, Peppermint, Valentina, season seven winner Violet Chachki, and season 2 and 3 standout Shangela Laquifa Wadley.
Wadley notes that this tour is unlike anything fans of the reality competition show have ever seen. Werq the World will feature elaborate numbers with dancers, visual components and more high energy than just a usual lip sync performance.
"We've assembled just those from the show who love to perform," says Wadley. "We don't just want to entertain, we want you to feel something. We want you to say, 'Yes ma'am, I got my money's worth. She done did that.'"
The Houston show, originally scheduled for last October, was rescheduled following the devastation to the Theater District from Hurricane Harvey. Wadley says she and the girls are happy to finally come to the Bayou City and give Houstonians the show they deserve. In addition, the queens plan to make a donation to the Montrose Center's LGBTQ Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund, with the show's producer, Voss Events, matching the donation.
A Texas native and self-described "Dairy Queen and Whataburger girl," Wadley is happy to return to her home state and to Houston.
"In Houston, you find nothing but good people," remarks Wadley. "There is a friendliness and charm that is really unmatched."
For those who cannot make it to the Werq the World tour, Wadley can be seen on season 3 of RuPaul's Drace Race: All Stars beginning this Thursday, January 25 on VH1. While Wadley is sworn to secrecy on the new season, she was able to reassure this new season will feature what fans have come to love about the show so much.
"There will be glitz, glamour, surprises and tons of drama," promises Wadley. "I'm coming back as the same 'ole Shangie you knew… but with better makeup."

Complete Archive of "The Chinese Recorder and Missionary Journal" Reprinted
By Priscilla Lai ( [email protected] ) May 05, 2012 11:28 AM EDT Comment
The Chinese Recorder and Missionary Journal (1868-1941, CR)
After 5 years of painstaking work, the entire collection of The Chinese Recorder and Missionary Journal has now been reprinted through the cooperation of the Christianity and China Research Center & National Taiwan University Press.
The Chinese Recorder and Missionary Journal (1868-1941, CR) was the longest published English journal during the 19th century in China until it ceased publication in 1941, when the Second World War outbreaks in Shanghai. It was designed primarily to facilitate communication and fellowship among Christian missionaries throughout China. The 75 volumes include countless rare photos and maps, drawings and statistics.
To those who want to have a thorough understanding of Christianity in China, CR is definitely the richest record of all; it provides the comprehensive issues including cross cultural contact such as the explanation of core Confucius values, local and regional etiquette and culture to missionaries in places within China they found themselves in.
Other valuable contents include difficulties that concerned the missionaries in China, such as translation issues, health and medical care for missionaries and their families; it also shows the statistics collected on the missions in China, include the number of baptized converts, the number of churches, schools and hospitals etc.
"The Chinese Recorder's long and continuous publication has already made it one of the most important historical records of the Church in China. Its value among historical accounts of Protestant Christianity in China is obvious and completely unrivaled by any similar publications, and its status as first-rate historical material is unmatched." James Shih-chieh Cha, CR's editor-in-chief stated in the preface.
Since The Chinese Recorder's volume is both vast and numerous, they are scattered in many different places in the world, those who were able to preserve a complete collection is uncommon. In the past due to the vagaries of time and space as well as the objective conditions that had to be dealt with, research was highly restricted.
Cha hopes that this republishing will allow researchers add depth and breadth to Chinese Church history, allowing for a change of vision and for research on Chinese Christianity to reach new levels.
To order The Chinese Recorder and Missionary Journal, contact the dealer Airiti Inc. at [email protected] or call Miss Shih at +886-2-2926-2006 ext. 8551.

FEATURED ARTIST FRIDAY : CODES
CODES brings head nodding rhythms, crowd-pleasing turntablism, and raw energy which keeps him busy pushing club music boundaries in and out of the studio.
He is currently on tour showing off his original tracks and creative remixes signed to major labels from DIRTYBIRD to NIGHT BASS to STMPD.
Join us behind the scenes with Codes with a brief Q and A!
Tell us something that you're doing and are excited about...
"At the moment, I'm constantly on the road doing my thing with all these big guys I look up to."
"I also am putting records out with every label I ever wanted to!"
"Pretty grateful for just about everything right now."
What artists influence you/do you look up to?
"I have always looked up to Jimi Hendrix. He was first known in the rhythm and blues scene for playing with huge artists like Little Richard and Isley Bros. He always was a beast, but never really blew up until yeeears later when he flipped his style a bit. He pushed his guitar and songwriting to the limits then wrote all the groundbreaking records that brought him fame. Also, he took his already out of control guitar playing to the next level with all the wild shit he would do onstage. He was looked past by most for a crazy long time before eventually being recognized as one of the most prolific artists of the century. RIP."
"If that's not a testament to 'never stop pushing yourself or never giving up', then I don't know what else is."
What is your proudest moment so far?
"Damn, I am very grateful to say I have a lot! But after a long amazing week full of shows in Miami, the last day there I got an email saying...
'We would like to sign your track "Birds & The Bees" to DIRTYBIRD!'"
"They (DIRTYBIRD) had been a favorite label of mine for years, as well as a goal I have had written on my whiteboard in my room for quite a while now. Right after I signed the contract, I was able to cross that off my board :D"
What's the craziest thing that's happened to you while DJing?
"A super long time ago I noticed a pipe above the DJ booth and for some reason decided I would try to swing my legs over it to hang upside down. This is how I was going to do my next transition. Upside down hanging from a pipe lol."
"Long story short - that pipe was connected to the bathroom upstairs, and it did not hold me! I guess I fell, but I don't think it was too bad and I didn't break any equipment. [HOWEVER!], after my set, [I] thought I was all good, but I went upstairs and found there was a good foot of water everywhere!"
"AHHhh! Sorry Drew! Lol"
If you had the opportunity to do something else, what would it be?
"I would like to teach again when I'm older, but if I could completely change my life - I would move somewhere I could have a huge home to foster dogs or any animals."
"On Instagram I follow the New York Bully Crew, who rescue Pit Bulls all over. I would do something like that."
Chipotle or Qdoba?
"NEITHER! - I'm a professional guacamole specialist!"
How's life on the road?
Any cool stories worth sharing?
"New ones every weekend, but last weekend I got to play a sick sold out boat party (GLC's DEEP DOWN UNDER!) with some beautiful people on the river of Chicago. We had to duck under bridges and there were fireworks in my set!"
Did you have any mentors?
"I've been lucky enough to have a few."
"...My Dad, Craze, Kill The Noise and Dan Strong."
"From music to work ethic, my Dad has been a mentor to me my whole life."

Fish processor Shetland Catch Ltd has reported pre-tax profits more than doubled in the financial year to £3.11 million despite turnover dipping 13 per cent to £63.6 million.
The Lerwick-based company said the 2014 year to March 31 had included "one of the busiest winter mackerel seasons in over 10 years as many vessels took advantage of the increase in mackerel quota for 2014".
Shetland Catch had reported a £6 million pre-tax loss in 2012 as a result of intense competition from cheap Faroese mackerel and having its quotas slashed after admitting its role in Scotland's largest ever black fishing scam.
In 2012 the company admitted processing thousands of tonnes of illegally landed mackerel and herring between January 2002 and March 2005 which was estimated to be worth more than £47 million.
Shetland Catch was fined £150,000 at the High Court in Edinburgh and ordered to pay back £1.5 million in profits by way of a Crown confiscation order.
As a result of the case, involving an estimated 170,000 tonnes of undeclared 'black fish' in a wider case involving 27 fishing boat skippers, those involved had their quotas slashed which had seen Shetland Catch book a pre-tax loss of £6 million for the 2012 year.
In accounts filed with Companies House for the 2014 year to March 31, Shetland Catch said the £1.5 million the Crown ordered it to pay back in illegally obtained profits has a repayment deadline of June, 2015.
Overall, turnover for the 2014 year dropped from £73 million in 2013 to £63.6 million, though earnings before interest, tax depreciation and amortisation rose from £2.77 million the previous year to £4.25 million.
Shetland Catch had reported a 50 per cent increase in turnover for the 2013 year to £73 million on a "significant" increase in production volumes for both herring and mackerel and more stable market conditions in the key mackerel markets.
The company reports 2014 gross profit rose to 22 per cent, up from 16 per cent last year, while reported cost of sales dropped to £49.58 million from £61.2 million reported for 2013.
Gross profits also rose to £14.03 million from £11.84 million in 2013 and on an operating level, profits rose to £3.23 million against £1.74 million last year.
The value of stock, including raw materials and consumables and finished gods and goods for resale rose to £15.68 million in the 2014 year from £4.16 million in 2013.
Herring "continues to provide ongoing challenges", the company said though the season had been "relatively successful, albeit modest herring season in the summer of 2013".
Shetland Catch notes in 2014 accounts its directors "consider than disclosure of the company's geographical markets could be detrimental to its interests".
Looking ahead, Shetland Catch said it has seen a "partial resolution to the 'mackerel dispute', with Faroe now making an agreement with the EU/Norway on the quota for 2014".
Shetland Catch adds it looks forward "to the opportunities the increased mackerel quota will bring to the company in the long term".
The company notes creditor amounts falling due within one year total £22 million (2013; £9.96 million) which includes bank loans noted for the 2014 year totalling £18.75 million (2013: £8 million).
Shetland Catch is currently undertaking its first major capital investment expenditure in eight years with a £1.5 million upgrade of its mackerel distribution system and packing lines.
Possible further investment in factory improvements and expansion of cold-store facilities is being considered in the next 18-months.
The company's largest shareholder is Norway Pelagic ASA, which holds 50 per cent of the shareholding in the company.
Shetland Catch currently employs 87 staff, and reports turnover per employee dipped to £731,335 against £849,465 in the 2013 year.

Here are the exercise and fitness top 5 benefits in no particular order.
Are you having a hard time getting to sleep? And when you do sleep is it good quality sound sleep? If your answer is no to any of these questions, then you should start involving yourself in regular exercises which will drastically improve this for you. It will be effective in helping you fall asleep and improve your quality of sleep as well.

The blood will therefore flow smoothly in your body and as a result, the risks of cardiovascular diseases will be greatly reduced. Physical exercises will also reduce the risk of serious and deadly diseases such as colon, lung and breast cancer, stroke, arthritis, heart diseases, diabetes, osteoporosis and more.
Daily workout helps in reducing anxiety and stress by diminishing the electrical activities in your muscles. Your body also releases endorphin after each workout which results in boosting your moods and promoting relaxation. When your body is in this mode you are not likely to be easily stressed or anxious.
If you get tired and lack the energy to enjoy intimacy with your partner, then regular physical exercise is all you need. As a man, you will always feel more energized after exercises which can lead to a great impact to your intimacy with your partner. You are also not likely to be affected with erectile issues that will slow you down when your partner is in the mood. This can be rather frustrating for men as a whole. For women, a routine workout can lead to enhanced arousal just the same as it can for a man.

An added advantage is that you will gain strength, stamina, and muscle tones which will boost your self confidence and you will start feeling better emotionally.

We find that most sports drinks are way too sweet, hard to drink and are full of artificial colours, flavours and preservatives. Many contain artificial sweeteners too!
PURE was developed after being fed up drinking sickly sweet, poorly tasting sports drinks. We wanted a better alternative without all the fake ingredients. PURE is formulated with science and tested by elite athletes.
Mix 1 level 14g scoop of powder for every 250ml of water and shake well. Consume within 12 hours of mixing. If clumping occurs shake well.
Have a carbohydrate containing beverage or snack within 30 minutes of completion of your event e.g 750ml Pure. This is the golden window for replenishing glycogen stores to optimise recovery.
e.g pre race weight (78kg) minus post race weight (77kg) = 1kg X 1.5 =1.5L of Pure required to replace loss fluids.
Why PURE Raspberry tastes so good!
When you open a bag of PURE the first thing you'll notice is the amazing smell of fresh raspberries. When you add water you can actually see the real, fine raspberry particles in your bottle.
Take a sip. You can taste the mix of real fruit and it's so easy to drink. It's not too sweet and not too strong. PURE is refreshing and easy to digest even during your hardest training sessions or events.

It's about the "ecosystem."
The term was interspersed in conversations at an open house for the innovation district headquarters Thursday evening. Representatives from the city of Canton and business and development groups gathered on the second floor at 309 Court Ave. NW — where JumpStart Inc., the Economic Community Development Institute and Three 30 Group already have offices.
"There's a lot of things happening in the district, and they're happening at different paces, and we thought it was important to tell everybody this is open for business," said Nick Worner, senior manager of communications for JumpStart.
The Cleveland-based nonprofit supports entrepreneurs and has committed $52,000 and another $99,000 through the state's Third Frontier network for innovation district operations. The city will supply $75,000 from the comprehensive development fund, and the Stark Community Foundation will provide $40,000 a year.
The Canton Community Improvement Corp. is responsible for administering the funding and contracted with JumpStart for services. An advisory board will oversee innovation district, and Agile Networks is establishing high-speed internet through the Ohio Academic Resources Network.
Linda Hale, hired by JumpStart in November as the district community manager, eventually will be joined by an intern. She expects to spend most of her time traversing Stark County.
"I'll be meeting with entrepreneurs where they are," she said.
JumpStart will host local events, such as pitch nights and value proposition seminars, as well as an intensive 12-week Impact Program for all types of entrepreneurs. Hale said the technology incubator, an innovation district requirement, can accommodate nearly seven businesses in the same Court Avenue NW space.
"We don't want to keep them in here forever," she said. "We want them to grow to a certain level, and then let them fly away."
JumpStart's presence is partly why Three 30 Group moved to Canton this week from the Tuscarawas County Business Factory incubator in Dover.
"We've been doing business a few years, but we're looking to go to the new level," said President Brian Harr.
It's also a geographically smart move, he said. The company's roughly half dozen employees live a good distance from Dover, and Harr said most software consultants and developers he interviewed lived around Canton or Akron.
Three 30 Group handles sales, marketing and business process management and automation software. Harr said they helps clients establish software such as Salesforce.com and Zoho CRM.
The Economic Community Development Institute (ECDI) also is operating at the downtown headquarters. Canton gave the statewide lender $100,000 in Community Development Block Grant funding for a microenterprise loan program.
Chris Faircloth, an ECDI lending manager for the Akron-Canton area, said he'll be in Canton several days a week. The city tasked ECDI with providing six loans to Canton-based businesses in a year.
"My role here, really, will be to facilitate small business lending within the city of Canton with the loan fund that we have," Faircloth said.
Overall, the Canton hub should benefit the entire county, said Ray Hexamer, president of the Stark Development Board. Collaboration made the district possible, and he hopes business connections between those inside and outside the 12-block innovation district "boost the whole ecosystem" of Stark County.

Following the call of God on her life, Lorie Smith, who owns 303 Creative, a website design and marketing business, desires to use her artistic talents as a website and graphics designer to publicly proclaim and celebrate God's design for marriage. She wants to do so by designing and creating custom websites promoting marriages between one man and one woman while declining to promote any other type of marriage, including same-sex marriage.
But Colorado officials' peculiar interpretation of a state law stands squarely in her path. The law, which bars discrimination on the basis of several characteristics, including sexual orientation, should not pose any problems for Lorie because she decides what jobs to take based on their message, not any personal characteristic of a prospective client.
But State officials have said, at least where speech unfavorable to same-sex marriage is concerned, that distinctions between message-based and person-based objections are irrelevant. Both are sexual orientation discrimination.
What does this mean for Lorie? If she follows her religious convictions and starts creating websites celebrating marriages between one man and one woman, she is required by law to also create websites celebrating same-sex marriages, which would violate her religious beliefs. The law does not stop there. It also makes it illegal for her to publicly explain her religious reasons for promoting only God's design for marriage and for declining to promote any other type of marriage. That's right – she cannot even express her religious beliefs on her own website.
There are significant consequences for violating the law. A single violation would subject Lorie to a costly and burdensome investigation, fines of up to $500, and oppressive mandates, like re-education training designed to compel her to agree with Colorado's views on marriage and abandon her own.
Colorado's law leaves Lorie with few options: 1) Censor her own speech and choose not to go into the wedding industry, 2) be forced to violate her faith, or 3) face investigations, fines, and government-mandated re-education training for running her business consistently with her beliefs.
But, Lorie has one more option.
Lorie asked Alliance Defending Freedom to represent her in court to challenge the law. On Lorie's behalf, we are asking the Colorado federal district court to prohibit State officials from applying the law in a manner that prevents Lorie from operating her business according to her artistic and religious beliefs.
No one should be forced to violate their faith or give up their right to free speech simply because the government does not like what they have to say.
And it's not only Lorie who is feeling the effect of this Colorado law.
Jack Phillips, a cake artist in the Denver area, was sued because he politely declined to use his God-given artistic talents to create a cake celebrating a same-sex marriage.
The Colorado Civil Rights Commission ruled against Jack saying he must provide his employees "re-education" training and leave his faith out of his business. The Colorado Supreme Court declined to hear the case, so Jack appealed his case to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Jack and Lorie's cases should concern us all.
If Lorie and Jack are not permitted to live, work, and create according to their beliefs, who's to say that you will be able to live, work, and create according to your beliefs – regardless of what beliefs you hold? And if the government can decide which beliefs are permissible and which are punishable by law, everyone loses.

Your Doncaster Free Press is moving to a new home today - and a bright new future.
We will wave farewell to our distinctive red-brick building opposite the Corn Exchange at 5pm today a short hop across the town centre to a brand new home on the corner of Printing Office Street and Cleveland Street, which opens for business from Monday.
We'll be sad to leave our home where more than 4,500 editions of the paper have been put together by our editorial and advertising teams over the decades - but the building, constructed in 1902 has seen better days and our new offices, right next door to the Old Angel pub, are clean, modern and spacious - ready for a new digital age of newspapers.
The Free Press was the brainchild of printer Dickie Crowther who arrived at Sunny Bar in 1924.
The paper first hit the streets on June 18, 1925, under the title of Doncaster Free Press and Courier of Coming Events, priced at just 1/2d and although departments have come and gone since, we've had a constant presence here since day one with just eight editors taking the helm of the paper down the years, with Chris Burton the current man in charge.
Our new office address is 39 Printing Office Street, Doncaster, DN1 1TN. All our telephone numbers - including our main switchboard number - 01302 819111 - will remain exactly the same.
There may be techincal difficulties in contacting us via telephone or email during the switch over, so please bear with us.
So farewell Sunny Bar, hello a brand new era - come and join us!

Q: Cant configure existing samba share I am sorry for the probably dumb question. I have two Ubuntu server VMs - 12.10 and 13.10. A year ago I have configured samba on both machines somehow with documents share on each. Now I cannot find this configuration. That is both shares work but neither /var/samba/smb.conf nor system-config-samba shows them! If I stop smbd service - sharing stops working. Both boxes have a separate volume mounted inside home folder and shared with name "documents". Please help!

A: I assume we are dealing with usershares.
Those are stored in /var/lib/samba/usershare.
You can use the command net to manage them, ie:
net usershare add (name) (path)
net usershare delete (name)
net usershare list

"My biggest concern at Van Ness is pedestrian safety. I feel my safety is constantly at risk," Benae Mosby said at a recent meeting of the Van Ness Main Streets board. As the communications and community relations manager at WAMU, whose headquarters are at Connecticut Avenue and Windom Place NW, Mosby walks this troubled intersection daily.
Connecticut Avenue at the Van Ness Metro station. All photos by the author.
It is an especially challenging time for Mosby and others on this stretch of Connecticut. On the east side, a one-block segment of the sidewalk is closed to accommodate the construction at Park Van Ness. On the west side, the entrance to the Metro has been closed since late June.
ANC 3F commissioners pushed DDOT to provide some relief to pedestrians, but to no avail. DDOT said it would add no second crosswalk on Connecticut at the south side on Windom (a few years after one of its own studies recommended one), and after adding a few more seconds to the crossing times at Veazey Terrace and Windom, DDOT said it would add no more.
With all this pressure on the intersections and pleas for changes falling on deaf ears at DDOT, a predictable outcome set in over the summer. The intersections became especially taxed in the morning rush hour, and pedestrians piled up and had a hard time getting through in a single cycle. Morning commuters, especially those traveling by bus to the Van Ness Metro stop, started taking more risks to avoid missing a walk cycle and potentially their train. Several could be seen crossing mid-block from the bus stop on the west side of Connecticut at Veazey Terrace to get to the Metro entrance on the east side.
As the problem grew, ANC 3F Commissioner Mary Beth Ray urged police action to deal with these hazardous crossings.
On Thursday, August 13th, MPD put up a yellow tape barricade to block mid-block access to the Van Ness Metro station. Officers were also handing out brochures and talking to pedestrians.
But by the next morning, the tape had been torn away. The next week, MPD tried another tack: Placing the tape where bus passengers are most tempted to cross.
These are short-term measures that do not address the real problem: The infrastructure is unfriendly to pedestrians, and right now it looks like DDOT would rather pedestrians bear the safety risk than accommodate pedestrian needs. Metro escalator work has cut off what was a safer option These hazards are what made the "secret" Metro passage under Connecticut Avenue, now lost to the escalator rehab project, so appealing.
Going back to Mosby's issue, even when the Metro entrance and Park Van Ness sidewalk reopens, the traffic and short crossing times will remain hazards to pedestrians at Windom and Veazey.
This will also continue to be the case at other Connecticut Avenue crossings, such as the one to the north on Albemarle Street. There, resident and seniors advocate Barbara Cline has seen car crashes, drivers running red lights,blocking intersections, speeding through an apartment building driveway from Connecticut to Albemarle.
Even with a new 25-year plan from DDOT that makes pedestrians the number one policy priority, the changes needed to make this a reality seem light years away. Photo enforcement can help, but the reality is that we live in a car culture, and pedestrians still need to push for changes to make room for us on the street.

Wayang days
Seeing a stage set up for a wayang, as street theatre has come to known in Singapore, is always a cause for celebration. Wayangs not only add much colour that is otherwise lacking on the street of the modern reinterpretation of Singapore, they also take me back to the happiest days of my childhood and ones spent in a Singapore that now seems a far away place.
Wayangs bring much colour to the now colourless streets.
The Chinese street opera, in its various genres would be the most common form of street threatre. Many of the troupes that started out as far back as in the mid 1800s would have had their origins in southern China. One pioneering troupe still around from those times is the Lao Sai Tao Yuan (老赛桃源), or Lau Sai Thor Guan in Teochew (Chaozhou), who arrived in the early 1850s. The troupe, which was already in existence some five decades prior to the move down the southern ocean, continued performing in Singapore during the occupation and would possibly be the oldest Chinese opera troupe still performing here in Singapore.
A Lao Sai Tao Yuan perfromer on stage.
Wayang days today, sans what used to be the usual accompaniment of the aroma of steaming groundnuts and cobs of corn and the food laden pushcarts that were as much a crowd puller as the entertainment the wayangs provided, see much less of a crowd. There is also much less of an atmosphere as compared to the days in which wayang days were occasions everyone seemed to look forward to. The embrace of the modern world, and perhaps the abandonment of the vernacular, has resulted in a decline in interest in it as a form of entertainment. No longer a fashionable choice in today's less unassuming climate, the troupes left today such as the Lao Sai Tao Yuan, survive only out of the passion and the determination of their members to keep a tradition that we in Singapore no longer have a need for, alive.

The Lao Sai Tao Yuan troupe, whose members are all quite friendly, performs quite regularly. Their performances and back stage preparations are a joy to observe. Their next performances will take place on at 12 noon and 7 pm on 9 and 10 October 2015 at the Toa Payoh Seu Teck Sean Tong (修德善堂) at Lorong 2 and on 11 and 12 October 2015 at the Paya Lebar Nine Emperor Gods temple (Charn Mao Hern Kew Huang Keng or 葱茅园九皇宫) at Arumugam Road.

Transparency is smart for people and for business
It's time for companies to open their books
Would you be surprised to learn that a huge multi-national corporation (MNC) worth billions of dollars was able to lower its tax bill to less than 1%?
Well, that's exactly what was uncovered in November of 2014 when a trove of documents dubbed "LuxLeaks" gave a rare glimpse into secret tax deals arranged between hundreds of different MNCs and the European state of Luxembourg; household names, from Pepsi and IKEA to Disney were among the list.
This information doesn't include business secrets about how they produce the goods or services they sell, so why is it kept secret in the first place?
If the public outcry that emerged from LuxLeaks is any indication, the reason lies in the fact that corporations don't always want to answer questions about the amount of taxes they are paying (or not paying) and where. These deals, so often secured behind closed doors, were brought out into the open for once, allowing governments, journalists, and the general public to see, in stark reality, the methods that MNCs were using to send profits to low-tax Luxembourg, far from where the actual economic activity was taking place.
While the revelation unearthed a symptom of the system, it's vital that we address the root problem: a lack of clear and transparent information about the operations of MNCs. Currently, multinationals are able to exploit loopholes in domestic and international tax laws to shift profits from one country to the next, often through tax havens (or "secrecy jurisdictions"), with the end goal of reducing or even eliminating the tax they pay to governments. Without leaks and whistleblowers, even governments only see a small window into the inner workings of companies, which makes proving tax avoidance or evasion nearly impossible. Although MNCs report on their profits, revenue, taxes paid, and number of employees, the global numbers they provide are for the operations of all of their subsidiaries bundled together. This dashes any hope of understanding a corporation's operations in a specific country.
Country by country reporting (CBCR) would require MNCs to share this information for each country where they operate. The information would give governments a much greater ability to spot irregular activity that should be investigated further, including for example, cases of corruption and bribery. MNCs should be required to publish CBCR information because this global problem has proven too big for national governments to unravel alone. Journalists, civil society organizations and academics have been responsible for making the public aware of the scale of tax avoidance and evasion, and are critical to analyzing not only the problem, but also potential solutions.
Large multinationals have a responsibility to play on equal footing as their small and medium sized counterparts. Often small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) are already reporting on a country by country level when they only operate in one jurisdiction. Simply operating in multiple countries should not exclude MNCs from having to reveal the same.
There's strong interest in country by country reporting from the perspective of investors who value economic stability. Having publicly available country by country financial reports would arm potential investors with information they can use to make sure a company isn't distorting its bottom line or taking excessive risks.
While LuxLeaks unearthed a symptom of the system, it's vital that we address the root problem: a lack of clear and transparent information about the operations of MNCs.
Country by country reporting (CBCR) would require MNCs to report on their profits, revenue, taxes paid, and number of employees separately for each country in which they operate.
And it's no secret that countries and communities around the world need this additional revenue stream. Recovering from the impacts of the global financial crisis, governments have struggled to find the financial resources to pay for basic social services in many countries. This kind of tax dodging is a global problem that is enhanced by tax haven structures that facilitate and profit from financial secrecy. The byproduct is a financial system that is devoid of accountability, often depriving governments of much-needed revenue.
Some argue that the cost of implementing this reporting structure would be prohibitively expensive, but most policy makers, as well as a growing number of business people, understand that this information is vital to really understanding transnational business. A report by the accounting firm PriceWaterhouse Coopers for the European Commission concluded that there could actually be some "positive impact" on the economy if public CBCR became the norm for banks and financial institutions.
Multinational corporations should be required to submit individual reports with basic financial information such as revenue, profits, taxes, and number of employees for each jurisdiction in which they operate. These country by country reports should be made available to the public. Public country-by-country reporting strengthens the financial system for everyone.
It would provide information to a wide range of stakeholders, which will strengthen efforts to monitor corrupt practices, corporate governance and responsibility, tax payments, and world trade flows.
It would help investors determine whether corporations they invest in operate in politically unstable regimes, tax havens, war zones, and other sensitive areas, or if there appears to be additional risk arising from aggressive tax planning that might prompt investors to question an MNC's management team about the issue.
It would allow public interest groups and investigative journalists to make sure that MNCs are paying their share of tax in the countries where they do business, especially where tax authorities are strapped for resources and don't have the ability to devote the time necessary to this sort of investigation. If the operations of MNCs were truly transparent, a more equitable financial system would be closer to reality.

Streamside management zones (SMZs) are used to protect water quality. Monitoring carbon pools and fluxes in SMZs may a good indicator of the SMZ's overall function and health. In this project we evaluated some of these pools and fluxes from three different SMZ widths (30.5, 15.3, and 7.6 m) in the Piedmont of Virginia. We quantified carbon storage in the soil (upper 10 cm), litter layer, and plant community, monitored soil carbon dioxide (CO2) efflux and measured total organic carbon and benthic communities in stream water samples. The narrowest 7.6 m SMZ width did show changes in ecosystem function (litter decrease, soil moisture increase, soil CO2 efflux increase) which could result in long-term impacts. At this point in time (3 years post harvest), no significant differences were found in the benthic community. The 15.3 m thinning treatment did consistently have the highest total organic carbon (TOC) which may be related to the disturbance from harvesting.

Three Things Managers Can Do to Keep Their Talented Employees
In this era of the skills gap, it's more important than ever for manufacturers to hang on to their star performers. Employee-engagement expert Leigh Branham offers a few simple strategies to keep top talent in the fold.
Josh Cable | Feb 26, 2013
In his analysis of more than 20,000 employee exit interviews, Leigh Branham has come to this conclusion: Workers might say they're leaving for the promise of greener pastures, but usually they're just trying to get away.
Branham, a Kansas City-based management consultant and author of "The Seven Hidden Reasons Employees Leave," has found that most workers defect to escape toxic work environments, poor management practices and other negative attributes of their current employers.
"It's true that most employees get an increase in pay when they leave," Branham tells New Equipment Digest. "But that's not the real reason they decided to leave in the first place."
Still, in this era of the skills gap, there's a silver lining for managers who dread the thought of losing their star performers.
"I would say that all of the reasons [employees leave] are under the control of leaders and managers," Branham says.
To help managers take a proactive approach to keeping and engaging their top employees, Branham offers these three tips:
1. Conduct "entrance interviews."
Managers need to understand that "you engage one employee at a time," Branham says.
Consequently, he advocates conducting one-on-one meetings with new hires to get a sense of what they expect from the job, how they like to be recognized and what's most important to them.
"Some employees are motivated more by recognition," Branham explains. "Others are motivated more by the technical challenge of the job, by being a good craftsman. Some people are motivated more by work-life balance."
The bottom line: Get to know your employees better, and "don't expect all of them to be motivated by the same things that you're motivated by — or for all of them to be motivated by the same things."
2. Send "valuing messages" to your employees.
It's critical to make sure that "you're sending the message to all of your employees that you value them," Branham says.
One simple way to convey that message, he explains, is "noticing when [employees] do something above and beyond, and simply going up to them and saying, 'I saw what you did. I want you to know how much I appreciate it.'"
"So that means as a manager, you need to be observing your people enough to do that, instead of having your head down, checking off your to-do list," Branham adds.
Sending the right message to team members extends beyond recognition, though.
"It's giving them the tools they need to do a good job," Branham says. "It's listening to their ideas and paying attention to them, and, if they make sense, implementing their ideas.
"It means keeping them informed. It means including them on emails and memos and everything that you do that can send a message to an employee that the employee is either important or not important."
3. Conduct "stay interviews."
In a stay interview, or "re-engagement discussion," a manager meets with an employee who perhaps isn't as focused on the job as he or she has been in the past.
The goals of the meeting are to emphasize that the worker is a valued member of the team, and to find out if the employee is receiving the proper tools and support to perform his or her job tasks at a high level.
"I hear managers all the time say, 'I really had big plans for that person, and they up and quit on me,'" Branham says. "Well they up and quit because [the manager] never took the time to have a heart-to-heart discussion."

Today In The O.J. Time Machine: Watch Ron Goldman Compete On 'Studs'
By: Matthew Bilinsky
FX's The People vs. O.J. Simpson has all of cable-ready America reflecting on what we've lost. Our innocence. A belief in the justice system. Our ability to enjoy Naked Gun without seething guilt.
Another nostalgic loss would be the art of the "dating show." It's been roughly a decade since programs like Elimidate and Blind Date dotted the syndication landscape. Depending on your millennial bonafides (or lack thereof) maybe Singled Out was more your speed.
But if you think back all the way to the pre-O.J. era -- a time when men were men, and Kato Kaelin was just the star of Beach Fever -- the dating show du jour was Fox's STUDS (all CAPS, trust me).
STUDS ran for three seasons on Fox -- most certainly pitched as "Love Connection for the 90210 crowd" -- and featured one young "stud" known as Ronald Lyle Goldman, the man killed alongside Nicole Brown Simpson in 1994.
After making sure to coordinate light denim-colored button-downs with fellow contestant "Anthony", Ron proceeded to find some short-term success on the program -- matching with STUD-lerette "Diane." The above clip gives a touch of insight into young squire Goldman before he met his tragic end. The original air date, according to the YouTube description, was January 20, 1992.
Take a look to see which early-90s celebrity Ron gets mistaken for over the phone and what his idea of the perfect date is. (Hint: It doesn't involve clothing.)
June 17, 1994: What Happened Other Than O.J. Simpson Chase
Rangers' Stanley Cup Parade
Three days earlier, the Rangers ended their 54-year Stanley Cup title drought with a 3-2 Game 7 win over the Canucks. On June 17, fans flooded the Canyon of Heroes to celebrate with Mark Messier, Brian Leetch, Mike Richter, Adam Graves and the Rangers. During the parade, Mayor Rudolph Giuliani exclaimed, "One more thought: Go, Knicks!" The parade took place just hours before the Knicks hosted Game 5 of the NBA Finals against the Rockets at Madison Square Garden, site of the Rangers' clincher.
Arnold Palmer's Last U.S. Open Round
Palmer returned to the national championship one last time. The seven-time major champion was given a USGA exemption to play at Oakmont in his home state, Pennsylvania. Palmer's previous U.S. Open had been at Oakmont in 1983, and his first U.S. Open, as an amateur, was at Oakmont in 1953, won by Ben Hogan. Palmer's June 17 round marked his final appearance at the U.S. Open. Palmer finished his 36 holes at 16-over, 11 shots short of the cut. Palmer gave a salute to the crowd before an emotional press conference. A 24-year-old named Ernie Els won.
World Cup Opening Ceremony
In Chicago, Oprah Winfrey hosted the opening ceremony for the first (and so far, only) FIFA World Cup hosted in the United States. At a sold-out Soldier Field, Diana Ross gave a spirited performance and kicked the inaugural shot of the tournament. Daryl Hall and Jon Secada also performed.
World Cup Opening Games
President Bill Clinton spoke at the opening ceremony, which served as a precursor for the opening game as Soldier Field hosted a 1-0 German victory over Bolivia. The lone German goal scorer: Forward Jurgen Klinsmann. Spain tied South Korea 2-2 later in the day at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, and the following afternoon the United States opened with a 1-1 tie versus Switzerland at the Pontiac Silverdome near Detriot.
NBA Finals Game 5 Tip-Off
In a piece two weeks ago, CBS Sports' Ken Berger referred to the 1994 NBA Finals between the Knicks and Rockets as "The Forgotten Finals" as it took place during Michael Jordan's baseball sabbatical. Then with the Knicks and Rockets tied 2-2 in the series, Game 5 on June 17, NBC Sports President Dick Ebersol was pulling his hair out next to NBA Commissioner David Stern. The world itched for O.J. coverage, while NBC was supposed to air the NBA Finals.
NBC's NBA Finals Coverage
The broadcast is remembered for the back-and-forth between commentators Marv Albert and Matt Guokas, pregame and halftime host Bob Costas, who was located in the arena, and NBC News anchor Tom Brokaw. All three updated viewers on the status of both stories, often with as split screens. Perhaps the most famous "missed" action came when the Rockets' Hakeem Olajuwon and the Knicks' Anthony Mason tussled with each other while the NBC broadcast put its full attention on O.J., who also happened to be an NBC employee.
NBA In-Game Chatter
As for the players, their focus was perhaps not up to NBA Finals-level. In Berger's piece, Kenny Smith, who was a Rockets guard, said: "There wasn't Twitter; there wasn't Instagram. We're getting bits and pieces of what was going on. You just saw the televisions on the sideline and the chase going by. And I'm screaming on the bench, 'Hey guys, O.J.'s on the run!' And they're like, 'What?' " In the middle of the NBA Finals, we're talking about O.J. on the run."
Pat Riley Is Asked About O.J.
After the game, a 91-84 Knicks win behind a 25-point, 12-rebound performance by Patrick Ewing, a fan with a beer-filled cup came into Knicks coach Pat Riley's press conference and asked, "If O.J. cuts left instead of right, do you think he makes it?" The game scored a 7.8 Nielsen rating -- the lowest-rated Finals game since the Bird-Magic Era began in 1979.
Ken Griffey Jr. Hits 30th Home Run
In Kansas City, Ken Griffey Jr. completed a feat that would perhaps be more historic had it happened any other day. In the third inning, the Mariners' centerfielder belted a solo home run off the Royals' David Cone. The home run was Griffey's 30th of the season, making him the only player at the time other than Babe Ruth to reach the mark before June 30. Griffey hit 40 home runs in 1994, playing in all but one of the Mariners' 112 contests. The MLB season was canceled after August 11 due to a players' strike.
Donald Fehr Expresses Skepticism
At the O'Hare Hilton, Donald Fehr, executive director of the Major League Players Association, met with 55 players for the first time after the owners presented a proposal for a salary cap. According to a June 17, 1994, New York Times article, Fehr said he was "not confident" an agreement could be worked out during the season. The meeting set the wheels in motion to set up a vote for a strike date.

Too hot or too cold — we're simply poles apart
THINGS are heating up for a town centre exhibition that will show businesses and home-owners how they can act now to become more environmentally friendly. And as preparations for the event got under way at The Peacocks shopping centre this week, we decided to see if there were any changes the News and Mail could make. With the help of an energy meter on loan from green action group Local Agenda 21, we had a look around to name and shame the most energy-hungry appliances in our Poole Road office. ROB BROWN reports.
THINGS are heating up for a town centre exhibition that will show businesses and home-owners how they can act now to become more environmentally friendly.
And as preparations for the event got under way at The Peacocks shopping centre this week, we decided to see if there were any changes the News and Mail could make.
With the help of an energy meter on loan from green action group Local Agenda 21, we had a look around to name and shame the most energy-hungry appliances in our Poole Road office. ROB BROWN reports.
The push to improve the newspaper's green credentials has caused ructions in the News and Mail office.
Last year we were advised that turning down the heating and switching off unneeded radiators could save us hundreds.
As our office is open plan, the problem came when winter arrived and we needed to find that elusive happy balance.
Conflict has broken out between the perpetually hot and the constantly chilly among the workforce.The former, let's call them the hotties, and the latter, the chillies, are fighting a constant battle over the temperature dials.
I find the office unbearably stuffy in the winter and have to fight the urge to flick the switch of the fan on my desk or open the window.
But according to the energy meter, my fan uses 37 watts, or 0.037 kilowatts an hour, depending on its setting. For every kilowatt-hour approx-imately half a kilo of CO2 goes into the atmosphere.
That means if my fan was left on for two hours every working day for a year, keeping me cool would account for just under 10 kilogrammes of CO2 being burnt.
Amazingly, the fan uses 14w just by being switched on at the wall, meaning that leaving the fan on but not in use throughout the year would account for 61kg of CO2 being used.
But the electric heater used by the office chillies is much more power-hungry. It would account for 238kg of CO2 being burnt if it was left on for two hours every working day a year.
A fan heater — only pulled into operation in sub-zero emergencies — eats up 889w.
Although we have already made strides to improve our green credentials, such as recycling food waste, paper and plastic and turning what we can off at the wall at night, our experiment shows that there is still more we can do.
The hotties are dusting off their summer shirts and the chillies are wrapping up in warmer clothes as we turn the radiators down a notch.
As having my fan turned on at the wall uses more electricity than leaving a computer monitor on standby, I will be making sure that the switch stays well and truly down until summer arrives.
And neighbouring chillies have reassured us hotties they will wrap up warm and resist the urge to fire up the heater.
That could save us more than £100 and stop hundreds of kilos of CO2 going up in smoke a year.

Q: Yii update transaction in loop I try update records in loop, I use for that transactions.
protected function getNeedsToBeConfirmedTransactions($offset)
{
    $criteria = new CDbCriteria();
    $criteria->limit = 100;
    $criteria->offset = $offset;
    $this->offset += 100;
    return Transaction::model()->findAll($criteria);
}

$mysqlTransaction = Yii::app()->db->beginTransaction();

for($i = 0; $i < 100; $i++){

    $tr = $this->getNeedsToBeConfirmedTransactions($this->offset);

    //Here in foreach I;m updating transaction and execute
    //$transaction->save();

}

$mysqlTransaction->commit();

I have 4000 record, but in 10 iteretion I get NOTHING, because Yii locking my record and i can't select.
What to do with this ? I surely must use transaction select, because I can't select all without limit, that can be very slow.


We had a number of great entries for our 'Memories of Kiev' competition.
Alberto, who told us " There were many moments that could be memorable but none more intimate and precious as the presentation of Salvador, I remember being with the group in Costa Rica watching the Grand Final; and at the moment that started Portugal's presentation, the silence was total, there was only one person making his thing... Salvador Sobral, there was not even a noise of cars passing outside the lounge where we were, nothing but absolutely nothing interrupted us to hear "Amar Pelos Dois", 3 minutes later then the normal noise of the environment returned, I can assure on may 13th, I experienced pure magic for 3 minutes."
Kenneth, who told us " I have 2 memorable moments. First, the kiss between the Bielorrusian couple made me think in love, she seems very in love. The other moment was the last Portugal's performance. Salvador called his sister to sing with him. It was the most pure act of greatness made in TV. Also, it made me think in my sisters and all the adventures that we share together. I could see how important is the family, siblings and/or friends in each person."
Congratulations to both Alberto and Kenneth. Some of the other great entries we received are below.
Natalie - It had to be when Salvador was joined on stage during his sister during the winner's performance. The most beautiful moment for a beautiful song, there wasn't a dry eye in the house when we watched it.
Sevket - For me, it was Luc-Spencer Gardner's appearance in the final. We were in Japan and obviously it was very early in the morning. I was in a dark hotel room watching the show in bed with my iphone. My eyelids were getting heavier and heavier and was almost falling asleep while waiting for the voting to start. When Luc appeared on screen, I literally jumped and almost fell off the bed. It took me a minute or two to figure out if it was real or a dream. Anyway this sudden adrenalin push kept me awake during the rest of the show.
Matt - It was watching Hungary's semi-final performance. That was my No. 1 song from the moment I saw his national final performance, and it was so special to finally see the result of all of this buildup for the past few months, to see it finally presented on stage for millions and millions for the first time. And it was absolutely perfect. The few imperfections I had noticed from his national final performance were fixed, and what was done right were pushed to even higher levels. To anticipate something for that long and then have it performed like that was incredible.
Mircea - My favourite memory from Kyiv was meeting all those people, coming from every corner of the world. I remember meeting some Swedes outside the venue, we chatted so much and had some fun, for so long that I almost missed the televote, during the Grand Final! It was really amazing, especially because they left a good impression on me, like "How friendly are the Swedes!". Because of them, now I am learning Swedish and I learn it by heart. I am even considering moving to Sweden when I grow up and finish my studies. IT'S INTERESTING HOW SOME PEOPLE CAN TRULY INFLUENCE YOUR LIFE!
Richard - Getting to watch it in the USA for the second year in a row.
Chris - Joining OGAE for the first time and getting to interact with people as obsessed as me! Good to know I'm not weird!
Michaela - Kyiv was my fourth Eurovision, and it will go down as the the one, where friendships were made and celebrated. It was great seeing friends again, enjoying dinner with Alan, catching up with Luc, Ronnie, Adrian, Roy and Marcus. There are more , but too many to mention. The memories are just golden. The one that sticks out is how everyone cared for each other. After leaving Nick at Euroclub, as I couldn't get him to come home with me at 4 am, I was quite worried as he really was worse for wear. That is where friendship kicked in, and he arrived home in one piece thanks to Luc, Ronnie and all the others. so the most memorable moment was about the caring and friendships we had experienced.
