Twin Cities Marines are seeking reinforcements as they face a sudden shortage of volunteers for this year's Toys for Tots drive.
Last year, 60 volunteers on average would sort toys at a St. Paul warehouse. But this year, no volunteers are scheduled for 14 of the next 21 days of the campaign.
"In normal years, we don't have an issue of getting volunteers out," Maj. Michael Gravelle said. But this year, "we don't have anyone here. We're struggling."
Just in time for the year-end holiday fundraisers, Minnesota nonprofits are facing a shortage of volunteers as COVID-19 cases spike in the state. While some organizations shifted volunteer activities to at-home or virtual events or scrapped them altogether for fear of the virus spreading, in-person help is still critical at food shelves and programs such as toy drives.
Donate new toys: Drop off toys (toys for teenagers are needed most) from 1-7 p.m. Thursday at PRISM at 1220 Zane Ave. N., in Golden Valley. Donate toys by Dec. 22 to the Salvation Army either at its headquarters at 2445 N. Prior Av., in Roseville or at any Spire Credit Union location. Donate toys for Toys for Tots by Dec. 17 at one of the hundreds of drop-off sites in Minnesota (a full list is at minneapolis-mn.toysfortots.org) or at 767 Eustis St., Suite 150, in St. Paul.
Volunteer to sort toys: Volunteers (12 and older) are needed from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily through Dec. 22 at the Toys for Tots warehouse at 767 Eustis St., Suite 150, in St. Paul. Volunteers must wear masks and COVID screening forms are required. Volunteers are needed at PRISM in Golden Valley Dec. 7-18; to volunteer call 763-432-4230. To volunteer with the Salvation Army, go to salvationarmynorth.org.
Give online: Donate toys online to PRISM's toy shop via Amazon Wish List at linktr.ee/prismmpls. Give online to Toys for Tots at givetoysfortots.com. Or donate to the Salvation Army through the walmart.com/registry/registryforgood/welcome.
Toys for Tots is run by the U.S. Marines and the Twin Cities chapter is among the top 10 largest campaigns of nearly 900 across the country. But the Twin Cities reserve unit only has 13 Marines staffing the warehouse, so Gunnery Sgt. Patrick Kent said both in-person help and toy donations are needed to meet the goal of collecting 200,000 toys for about 150 nonprofits in the Twin Cities by Dec. 17.
"I am a little worried we won't receive as many toys," Kent said. "I think there's more need for families this year."
People also can contribute virtually for the first time thanks to a Minneapolis marketing company, which helped launch GiveToysForTots.com.
The Salvation Army also is struggling to find volunteers for its toy shop and other programs such as bell ringers and food shelf volunteers. The Twin Cities organization hopes to collect 20,000 toys to distribute in a drive-through toy pickup instead of having 5,000 families shop in person due to COVID-19.
In Golden Valley, PRISM, a nonprofit that helps families with food and housing, is facing a shortage of toys. But the nonprofit's advancement director, Brianna Miller, hopes to haul in toy donations on Thursday when PRISM aims to fill a van with toys for more than 900 kids.
"We are absolutely anticipating a huge jump in need this year," she said, adding that the toy supply is so far down compared to last year, perhaps because some families are financially strapped themselves while others aren't shopping as much in the pandemic. "COVID has hit a lot of us in different ways."
With a growing number of Minnesotans in need, food shelves across the state have seen double or triple the usual number of visitors during the pandemic. In the west metro, PRISM is serving an extra 450 families a month, including many seeking help for the first time.
Other nonprofits have skipped toy drives due to the pandemic, shifting to provide gift cards for families instead, Miller said. But she said her nonprofit wanted to keep the toy tradition. Last year, for the first time in years, Toys for Tots was unable to provide toys to PRISM and now, for the second year, PRISM is stepping up its own toy collection efforts through Dec. 10.
"They are our neighbors. They are hairdressers, they are teachers, they are soccer coaches. No one is immune," Miller said. "No matter what families are going through, they can still maintain traditions."

On August 24, 2018, Judge Susan Richard Nelson dismissed Mike Peluso's lawsuit against the New Jersey Devils, St. Louis Blues, and the Chubb Group. As we have previously reported, Peluso, a former NFL player who played professionally for nine seasons, sued the Devils, Blues, and their insurance company, the Chubb Group, claiming that they intentionally hide the dangers he faced from continued head injuries. After his retirement in 1998, the long-term effects of his role as an enforcer and the resulting brain injuries formed…

On February 9, 2018, two proposed classes of NHL players asked U.S. District Court Judge Susan Richard Nelson not to bar expert testimony of four experts. The players argued that the experts provided necessary information that is pertinent to their lawsuit. The suit began when former NHL players claimed that the NHL failed to inform them of the health risks caused by concussions and head-related trauma even though the league had knowledge of such information.

On Monday, July 31, 2017, U.S. District Judge Susan Richard Nelson awarded Boston University $96,300 in attorneys' fees and costs to be paid by the National Hockey League. The dispute stemmed from the NHL's demand for research and data from about 400 former athletes' brains studied by BU's Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) Center. The University refused the request on the grounds that only six of the brains studied were those of former NHL players, and Judge Nelson honored their request for fees and costs stemming…

NHL Trying to Eject Two Retired Players from Concussion Lawsuit
The National Hockey League is urging the Minnesota federal court to act now to remove two former players from the proposed class action. The NHL wants its bid for summary judgement for claims made by Gary Leeman and Bernie Nicholls to press on. The league argues the three-year statute of limitations bars these two players' claims, who retired in the late 1990s. Both Leeman and Nicholls serve as class representatives of their respective classes. The NHL argues the move for summary judgement is appropriate now,…

How do I benefit from this service?
Do you need to know if your product is considered a Medical Device in the European marketplace?
Do you need to find out the European risk class for your device?
This service will save you lots of time and effort!
The first regulatory runways in Entries take you through qualification and classification of a Medical Device in a matter of minutes. More specifically, they help you in finding out if your product is regulated as a Medical Device in EU, and in guiding you towards the correct risk classification according to the current medical device directives and the new regulations: the MDR and the IVDR.
Traditionally this task is performed by flipping through the pile of legislation and guidance documents provided by the European Commission, namely the MEDDEV's, the Borderline Manual, etc. In Entries this same information is re-organized into minute runways with complete references and links to those source documents for your convenience.
You may go back and forth to explore alternative results and fine tune the intended purpose of your product while browsing. You will leave with a fully referenced rationale for your device as the Final Report. In case of doubt with the result, you can turn to us, other experts or the authorities for further discussion.
Even though qualification or classification of Medical Devices is not in your focus, Entries may eventually bring you other time saving benefits.
The first regulatory runways in Entries focus on the qualification and classification of Medical Devices according to the EU legislation. We will introduce more runways on the Entries platform in collaboration with our Partners. Therefore, we welcome you to get acquainted with our services and to get in touch with us, whatever your needs may be. We might be able to help you.
If you are interested in collaboration, just pick up the phone.
By using Entries, we were able to classify our device in only a moment and print out a fully referenced rationale for our records and for discussions with the authorities. We give credit to the intuitive service concept and hope this is only the beginning of a series.
The service is surely a great help for a company like Innokas Medical, as we work in close collaboration with our clients to help them to design, develop and manufacture regulated medical devices. One still needs to interpret the information from the point of view of the intended use of a specific device, of course, but it does help a lot to have a tool where this information is structured into a path.
We have been using Lean Entries' service for about six months. The platform helped us to assess and cross check the classification of various medical devices. It was a useful source to support our daily business and saved us time and – as a result – money.

Housing website offers resources, grants
The website of the Synod's National Housing Support Corporation (NHSC) "is a really good place to start" if your congregation, district or other Lutheran group is interested in learning about neighborhood revitalization, according to James Kienker, director of Advancement for NHSC.
The new website of the LCMS National Housing Support Corporation — at nationalhousingsupport.org — offers information, resources and grants designed to help Lutherans get involved in housing construction and rehabilitation, community gardening, resident leadership development and community outreach.
In operation since July 12, the website — at nationalhousingsupport.org — offers information, resources and grants designed to help Lutherans get involved in housing construction and rehabilitation, community gardening, resident leadership development and community outreach. And, over the next few months, NHSC plans to offer free webinars, as well.
Founded to provide consulting services and access to financial resources to Lutherans nationwide who are seeking to better their communities, NHSC (doing business as Lutheran Housing Support) also builds homes as a hands-on community-development organization in St. Louis.
Its first completed "Nazareth Home" in the impoverished College Hill neighborhood was celebrated Aug. 23 in a ribbon-cutting ceremony that involved a number of St. Louis dignitaries, including Mayor Francis G. Slay. Click here for more information.
CEO Nicole Ridley says NHSC can help congregations and other Lutheran groups with an interest in community development determine "what their role might be" in that work. The key, Ridley says, is assessing the needs of the community.
Well-meaning congregations sometimes contact the NHSC office with a plan to fix up abandoned houses in their communities without talking to others in the area first.
"Our role is to help them get out and connected with the neighborhood and the residents — and those agencies that are already serving those communities — to get a sense of what really are the unmet needs," she said.
If other groups and agencies are already involved in addressing local housing needs, congregations often can work with them as partners "to strengthen their efforts." If not, Ridley says NHSC staff can help the Lutheran congregation or group determine "what their role might be, and how we can build their capacity to make that happen."
Housing ministry, like other "mercy ministries," can "absolutely" help bring people to Christ, she said: "We're called as Christians to love our neighbors, and this is a real hands-on way that we can do so, in a very tangible way, that has visible and spiritual results."
Every year NHSC provides support to more than 30 organizations through its grants, consulting services and training programs.
Sept. 20 is the application deadline for two grant opportunities this fall:
Feasibility Study Grants of up to $5,000 may be used for preliminary research into elderly housing needs near a congregation or other group.
Domestic Grants of up to $10,000 may be used for direct costs — such as construction-related labor and material expenses — for elderly housing projects in the United States.
Other NHSC grants are:
Servant Event Grants (up to $3,000 each), which may be used by volunteer groups to beautify or do light home-rehab work for projects that focus on elderly housing needs in the United States. The deadline for applications is April 1.
Emergency Grants (up to $10,000 each), which may be used to provide housing-relief services in the aftermath of natural or man-made disasters such as tornadoes or terrorist attacks. Applications may be submitted anytime.
Information about grants, including online applications, is available under the website's "Services" and "Resources" tabs.
Also available is information about loans, NHSC's "Customized Consulting Services," the College Hill project in St. Louis and past projects.
The website includes a fundraising "primer," a document library, and more than a dozen links to outside resources for community development and fundraising, such as the Community Development Society, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, NeighborWorks America and the National Housing Institute.
Soon to come is an online "toolkit" of resources to guide congregations, districts and social ministries "through what they need to know in terms of getting a housing project together," said Ridley. A webinar on fundraising is planned for this fall.
The website also offers information on contributing to — and volunteering with — NHSC, as well as a photo gallery, a calendar of events and news stories.
"We have tried to put as much information on our website as possible, and we will be continually updating and adding to it," said Kienker.

CNN Cuts Two On-Air Personalities
CNN is letting go two on-air personalities, TVNewser.com reports. The cable news channel, which is struggling to regain ratings after losing ground to Fox News Channel and MSNBC, has cut meteorologists Reynolds Wolf and Jacqui Jeras, the story reports.
Wolf has worked at the network since 2006, while Jeras has been on board since 1999, the report notes.
"It appears as though Wolf and Jeras are the only cuts in CNN's weather unit, but we will update if we hear more," the story notes. CNN still has Chad Myers and Rob Marciano in its weather unit, as well as additional meteorologists at CNN International and CNN en Espanol.
Wolf was one of CNN's most visible correspondents during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill disaster in 2010, while Jeras spent 84 hours on the air covering Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath, the story notes.

Yes — but he's gorgeous. I, too, prefer meatierologists to meteorologists.


The versatile chemical composition of soybeans makes it possible to replace petrochemicals and other ingredients with soy derivatives to produce "greener," more environmentally-friendly products, without sacrificing performance or competitive pricing.
The idea isn't new. In fact, Henry Ford and George Washington Carver shared a vision of using soybeans and other natural derivatives to make plastics, paint, fuel and other products. Following World War II, petrochemicals replaced soy feedstock in many industrial products, due to their availability and cost. However times, and economics, have changed.
Soybean oil has been proven to be an effective and economical ingredient in products ranging from polyurethane foam to plastics, paints, rubber, and lubricants. Soybean meal is used to make plastic composites, synthetic fibers, paper coatings and formaldehyde-free adhesives.
Lifecycle assessment studies show using soybean oil as a raw material can help lower carbon dioxide emissions during production, lower production energy costs and lower the volatile organic content (VOC) of products.
The United Soybean Board (USB) invests in research, promotion, marketing and commercialization programs to help expand and develop industrial markets for U.S. soybeans. Please check out the hundreds of case studies, research and technical reports on this site and contact us to learn how you can make your products more sustainable when you Think Soy.

Oyez has withdrawn the Companies 34 form which could be used to file the abridged accounts of a dormant company at Companies House for financial years which began before 1st January 2016.
Since private companies have 9 months to file their accounts at Companies House from the end of their financial year, the 31st December 2016 is the last date Companies form 34 could be applicable.
Oyez has therefore removed Companies 34 which should no longer be used to file accounts after 30th September 2017.

Are You Slow Enough to Succeed in Social Media?
Within 12 months of its invention, 1,200 companies entered the radio "business" in some form or fashion.
So said Malcolm Gladwell in a stirring speech given Monday to the AAA Annual Meeting in Scottsdale. In his own, story-filled way, he emphasized the point that we are in a period of unusual communication change and upheaval, not unlike the 1920s and the invention of radio.
But he also made the point that counter to popular opinion, change doesn't occur gradually, it occurs with sudden, breathtaking swiftness.
Social media adoption is happening at an extraordinary rate, and I believe every company will have some sort of social media presence within the next 24 months. This is an adoption rate far steeper than it was for websites.
But, social media speed is illusory and misleading. Yes, thanks to social media, business is faster than ever. But it's also slower than ever.
The fundamental premise of social business is that you are interacting and engaging with customers and prospects on a one to one or one to few basis. And that takes time. Trust takes time. Creating advocacy takes time. You build a volunteer marketing army one soldier at a time, not overnight.
Social media isn't about quickly building weak bonds between a company and large portions of its customer base, it's about slowly building strong bonds between a company and a small portion of its fan base.
It's up to all of us to redefine what social media "success" looks like, to focus our efforts on building kinship day-to-day, and yielding sustained passion for the brand. Social media isn't a grenade, it's a bayonet, and if we fall into the trap of focusing on "When" instead of "Why" we're going to end up as a historical footnote – a curiosity worthy of a Malcolm Gladwell speech someday.

Zubair EDC hosts 'Tajribati' Session to Discuss SME Development
Zubair EDC hosts ...
The Zubair Enterprises Development Centre (Zubair EDC) recently hosted a new edition of its 'Tajribati' session at Bait Al Zubair. The event aimed to shed light on ways to invest available resources to foster further enterprise development. Ishaq Hilal al Shariyani, CEO of the Eghna Academy for Economic Consulting and Training, was the guest speaker at the event, which several entrepreneurs attended.
A number of topics were discussed during the session, which was moderated by Ali Shaker, Head of Business Development and Partnerships at Zubair EDC. These included a detailed overview of the products and services offered by Zubair EDC, together with advice on how to invest resources into the technical, marketing, administrative, financial, and legal aspects of a business, as well as on how to invest into social resources to boost consumer confidence.
The 'Tajribati' session highlights topics that contribute to the growth and development of an entrepreneur's business. To achieve this, the forum examines several successful project management outcomes and models to provide SME owners with helpful knowledge and information for the optimal management of their enterprises and commercial projects.
Ali Shaker said, "We are grateful for Ishaq Al Shariyani's participation in the Tajrubati session. His experience and expertise have been invaluable in helping us achieve our goals for this session, which shed light on the most effective ways to manage available resources within a business. Several other entrepreneurs also shared their experiences developing their businesses and using available resources to maximise profits. The challenges they faced and the most effective ways to overcome them were also discussed. This new edition of 'Tajribati' from Zubair EDC also came with a revamped look, designed to complement the centre's recent rebranding."
Ishaq Al Shariyani said, "I would like to thank the management of Zubair EDC for hosting the Tajribati session. The forum provides an ideal platform for knowledge transfer between veteran businessmen, academics, industry experts, and budding entrepreneurs just starting in business. Many of these industry veterans have likely faced challenges in the past that these budding entrepreneurs are facing now. This forum provides them with an invaluable opportunity to benefit from the knowledge and experience these industry veterans offer and discover solutions to the issues they are experiencing.
"As any business owner will tell you, regardless of the type of business or project you're working on, each has its priorities and requirements. Entrepreneurs need to allocate their limited resources to maximise their chances of success. Business is a science in and of itself, and its laws are constantly changing. As digital platforms have made the world accessible to you, today's market is no longer confined to one location. Thus, managing projects without the knowledge and expertise necessary to take advantage of this level of market reach is no longer possible. Hence, workshops like these, which allow budding entrepreneurs to learn from the experiences of more experienced industry veterans, are even more important."
Tajribati is a session from Zubair EDC that focuses on topics that contribute to the growth and development of an entrepreneur's business. It also touches on the difficulties and challenges entrepreneurs face and how they can be overcome. By hosting specialists from both the public and private sectors, it also explores the opportunities available in various industry sectors. Since its establishment, the centre has sought to provide a suitable environment for the growth of entrepreneurship by providing a package of procedures and opportunities for entrepreneurs to develop their enterprises; either through initiatives established by the centre or participation in seminars and mutual visits with a number of the centre's partners from within and outside of the Sultanate.

How to Sell Public Domain Books on Amazon Kindle Directly
Whether you want to sell your books on Amazon or create your own eBooks, there are several considerations you should keep in mind. Among the most important is the copyright issues surrounding public domain books.
Copyrights on public domain books
Whether you're a writer or just a reader, it's important to know about copyrights on public domain books. Whether you want to rewrite a book or add a new edition, you'll need to check to see if the book is in the public domain. There are several benefits to publishing a book in this manner, including the fact that it's often less expensive to produce than a copyrighted book. However, if you're going to use a public domain book for commercial purposes, you'll have to get the copyright owner's permission.
Public domain books are generally safe to use, since the copyright is expired. However, you should check the copyright page of the book to see whether or not the author has any rights to the work. If you plan on distributing the book, you'll also need to get the copyright owner's permission. Some books are reprints of classics, but they are still protected by copyright.
The copyright term for a work is typically 50 years after the death of the author. The 1998 Copyright Term Extension Act extended the copyright term to 95 years. This means that works published in 1923 to 1977 are protected for 95 years after the author's death. In addition, works created for hire enter the public domain 50 years after the death of the author. This means that Shakespeare's plays are no longer protected by copyright, but many published editions of the plays still contain original materials.
Public domain books are usually less expensive to produce and sell than copyrighted books. However, if you're using a public domain book for commercial purposes, it may be difficult to get permission to reproduce it. Many online stores do not accept PD content, but there are several places that sell public domain books. Using a public domain book for commercial purposes is a good way to increase the number of people who can access the books.
In the United States, copyrighted works from 1925 will enter the public domain on January 1, 2021. As a result, many works published in 1923 will be available to the public for free. Those books include works from authors such as Virginia Woolf, Ernest Hemingway, and Franz Kafka. In addition, silent films featuring Harold Lloyd, music from W.C. Handy, and songs by Fat Waller are also copyrighted works from 1925.
The copyright on works that were published in 1925 is also expected to expire in 2021, but this has not happened yet. Some works are expected to enter the public domain in 2001, but a number of authors have not renewed their copyrights. This has made it difficult for authors to confirm that their works are in the public domain. There are also additional complexities involved, including confirming works that are not yet apparent renewals.
Compilations vs. derivative works
Using copyrighted material to create a work of art, or to construct a new work of fiction, is not always legal. The good news is that there are exceptions to this rule. Generally speaking, you can create a work of art using materials that are in the public domain, but the copyright for those materials may be difficult to ascertain. You can also create a work of art based on a work of fiction. However, this requires some planning and research.
The best way to go about this is to first figure out which parts of a work are copyrighted and which are not. As a result, you may be able to assemble an artistic work of art using materials in the public domain, without incurring any legal penalties. To illustrate this, you can use a dictionary or Wikipedia to look up a work of fiction. In most cases, you will find that the copyright for the original material is clear, and that the copyright for the film or television adaptation is difficult to ascertain. This is particularly true for the works of fiction whose copyrights have lapsed. The next best thing to do is to consult with a copyright attorney to find out if you can reuse some of the material in your work of art.
You will likely also have to make a few decisions regarding how to handle your new creation. For example, you may be able to reuse some of the original material in your work of art, but you may have to pay royalties to the original artist for the use of their copyrighted work. For this reason, you may need to consult with an attorney to ensure that you do not owe them a favor. You may also want to consider obtaining a copyright resemblance license if your work of art will be sold to the public. This will ensure that your work of art is resold in the most reputable fashion.
Amazon's policies on selling public domain books
Kindle Direct Publishing is a program offered by Amazon to help authors sell their books. The program allows authors to set up their own accounts and manage their ebooks. When an author sells their eBook, they will receive a royalty from Amazon based on the amount of money they earned. They will also receive a commission based on the royalty rate. However, there are some restrictions when it comes to selling public domain books on the Amazon Kindle.
Selling public domain books on the Amazon Kindle requires a detailed description. You need to create a description that accurately reflects your work and the book's topic. This is especially important when selling a book that is in the public domain. You need to include the publisher's name and illustrator's name in the copyright page. You also need to create a cover for the book.
If you have a business blog, you could offer public domain cookbooks as lead magnets. You could also include the book in a collection of other books. This will increase the perceived value of the book and increase the number of sales.
Amazon does not allow authors to sell public domain books for 70% royalty. However, they do provide a tool that can help you check your work before uploading it. The tool can be used online or on a PC. In order to get approved, you need to have a book priced between $2.99 and $9.99. The book must contain substantial original content, including translations. The title of the book must contain the phrase "Annotated" and you must explain in the description how unique the work is.
Amazon takes the legality of releases seriously. They will remove an ebook from sale if they discover that the work is not in the public domain. They may also reject an ebook if they discover that the work is not entirely original. However, they will not remove an ebook that contains only a few sentences.
To publish a book, you will need to create a cover, a copyright page, and a sales page. For an eBook, you must include a description of the book, including the title, the author's name, and the publishing date. You may also include bonus content, but you must be careful about what you choose. This type of content must be relevant and not distracting.
You must also make sure that you do not publish any duplicates of public domain books. For example, you should not publish a copy of Jane Austen's works in both the public domain and in the original. In addition, you should not publish the entire work of a popular author. You should also choose a price point that will maximize the number of sales. If you are unsure about any of the rules, you should consult a legal professional.

The World of 'Right Now' College Freshmen: USA Has Always Been at War
Also of note for the incoming class: They have never seen billboard ads for cigarettes, the Kremlin has always been controlled by Vladimir Putin, and both India and Pakistan have always been nuclear powers
Published August 18, 2016 • Updated on August 19, 2016 at 11:07 am
The majority of students entering college this year have grown up in a world where the beloved cartoon sponge, the mobsters from "The Sopranos," and the cocktail-sipping women of "Sex in the City" were the biggest TV icons of their defining years, NBC News reported.
And because they've never known life without a DVR, they never had to miss an episode.
Most of this year's freshmen, The class of 2020, were born in 1998, according to the Beloit College "Mindset List," an annual project that analyzes the cultural influences on the lives of incoming college students. In their lifetime, the U.S. has always been at war, John Elway and Wayne Gretzky have always been retired, and a Bush or a Clinton has always been campaigning for the presidency.

Nicolas Fiszman (* 19. Juli 1964 in Brüssel) ist ein belgischer Fusion- und Jazzmusiker (Kontrabass, Bassgitarre, auch Gitarre, Komposition) und Musikproduzent.

Leben und Wirken
Fiszman begann mit sechs Jahren Gitarre zu spielen; bald lernte er Folk-Gitarre bei dem belgischen Gitarristen Benjamin Bertrand. Mit elf Jahren begann er bei dem Jazzgitarristen Philip Catherine eine Jazz-Ausbildung. Mit 13 Jahren wechselte er auf den Bass und begann bereits 1977 mit verschiedenen Künstlern wie Philip Catherine/Larry Coryell und im Fernsehen mit Toots Thielemans aufzutreten. In den nächsten Jahren war auch mit der belgischen ProgRock-Band Cos und dem belgischen Sänger Maurane auf der Bühne. Bald spielte er im Quartett von Christian Escoudé und der Gruppe von Catherine mit Charlie Mariano und Trilok Gurtu. Im Alter von 20 Jahren wurde er Mitglied in Jasper van't Hofs Band Pili Pili mit der Sängerin Angélique Kidjo. Weiterhin begleitete er Künstler wie Didier Lockwood, Alphonse Mouzon, Jacques Higelin, Alain Bashung, die Dissidenten, Raoul Petite, Hubert-Félix Thiéfaine, Luca Carboni, Zazie, Rupert Hine, James Ingram, Johnny Halliday, Patricia Kaas oder Francis Cabrel. Er hat auch mit Manu Katché, Joe Zawinul, Sting, Benjamin Biolay, Charles Aznavour und Julio Iglesias gearbeitet. Seit 2005 gehörte er zur Band von Dominic Miller. Erst ist auch auf Alben von Paolo Radoni, Chris Hinze, Philippe Caillat, Eddie Defacq oder Quentin Dujardin/Ivan Paduart zu hören.

Als Studiomusiker war er an hunderten von Aufnahmen beteiligt. Bereits Ende der 1980er Jahre begann er als Musikproduzent zu arbeiten; er betreute unter anderem Viktor Lazlo, Isabelle Antena, Jasper van't Hof's Pili Pili, David Linx, Maurane, Geoffrey Oryema, den Harlem Gospel Choir, Cheb Mami, Johnny Clegg oder Henri Salvador.

Seit 1991 engagiert er sich zudem als Produzent, Komponist und Arrangeur für Khadja Nin und unterstützte Eric Serra bei den Kompositionen für die Spielfilme Rollerball und Bulletproof Monk – Der kugelsichere Mönch der MGM.

Inspired by all things that come from the earth, we put together wedding inspiration for the adventurous and romantic couple who love to explore the outdoors together. The desert in Southern California is rich with cacti and shrubs sprouting between jagged rocks. We brought in soft and pretty wedding details to complement the rugged elements.
This desert wedding inspiration was a product of many creative talents, and let's just say it was quite an adventure to put this one together. But we couldn't be more grateful by the efforts of everyone involved and are so proud of the result.


During the 1970s, Nolan's River Bend sequence was hung above the dining hall in Bruce Hall, at the Australian National University. The snaking river, the glowing pellucid colours, shimmered over philosophical debates on identity, exam crises, heartbreak. The luminous curves of the river illuminated those years of learning, across all spheres.


I don't think fluency is a requirement here. The use case for archives is that users typically want to construct in a bunch of steps, so we minimize the code to do it. With this configuration I don't see someone frequently configuring the extension loader, then the executors, then whatever all, all at once.
Or, we can make the default configuration static and JVM-wide, so long as we continue to copy it on a per-archive basis.
The problem there is that two default configs can never coexist. Thread association has problems of its own, so let's hear some new ideas.
No not really.. just wondering if you had a clear use case in mind..
"I need to configure on a per-Thread basis"
"I need to be able to configure, but I don't want to have to".
Just like it is now; only with a separate, unified configuration mechanism apart from the archive creation mechanism.
I think we could have a single, static default config, then the archives could have a pointer to it unless the users changes something in the config, then you'd want to make a copy / clone of the default config to make the change so you don't mess with any of the other archives. Or we could make the configuration object immutable. Either way it looks like we're going to have to store the configuration on the archive itself to achieve maximum flexibility.
The problem there is that two default configs can never coexist.
Is there a use case for more than one default config? Maybe a default config per archive type? Maybe that could come later though as right now there's really not a lot to configure.
Same as any time you have JVM global variables.
Maybe two embedded containers rely upon ShrinkWrap, each needing their own configs. Without separation they can't exist in the same JVM.
We haven't really talked about the instance based thing other than storing a ref to it on the archive, which is probably the only place it's going to happen unless we create a ShrinkWrap class that you interface everything with (kind of what Archives is today, but not static, you'd have to instantiate it.) Then we run into the same problem though of a default configuration, unless that's part of the instantiation, but that seems like a bad thing to offload onto the user.
I'm drawing blanks at the moment now.
I think the real problem is that we have this detached notion of the "ShrinkWrap system", which isn't defined.
Assuming I were to do this from a DI environment, I'd just have my ShrinkWrap system be a bean, and there could be many. Archives could be created under the domain of a particular system, and inherit that configuration. So archives themselves aren't configured, the system is.
JBoss Microcontainer has a "Kernel", which is the main entry point, and there can be many coexisting within a JVM. It provides all the proper separation, but there's the usability caveat: to interact with anything you need a Kernel reference. There's no static usage like we have in Archives.
ArchiveFactory factory = domain.getArchiveFactory(); // Replaces "Archives"
...this gives us the isolation that we need. And then we can properly hold a reference to the ShrinkWrapDomain as an MC bean (or in any DI container).
What is the difference between Domain and Configuration? Can you have multiple Configurations within a Domain ?
I agree, a bit verbose..
This syntax I can live with, but..
The point of the separation is not for the environment to control the ShrinkWrap configuration, but merely be able to create its own and co exist?
All of my code would be using the 'short' version of creating a archive, basically because it's less to write, and it then seems like I would be running my own/default configuration?
The short version could look for a ThreadLocal Domain if no found create one.. ?
Domain holds one configuration, one archive factory, and anything else we decide in the future should be contained within the ShrinkWrap "system". (Though I like the term "domain" instead of "system").
The separation is to both allow configuration and have disparate configs co-exist.
Yep, I think most code would be done using the "short" version; off an immutable default configuration (convention over config). And the short version is essentially a pointer to a static (JVM-wide) domain. That domain may be shared safely because it's immutable.
Environments like DI containers (JBossAS) will be injecting the ShrinkWrapDomain whenever they need to deal with archive creation or configuration.
The Thread-based context makes little sense here. In my security example above, the association fits because a request is logically mapped to a Thread. Here we don't have those sematics, so we'd be abusing ThreadLocal just to avoid having a proper API.
Sounds good to me, is this the design we want to go with (I'm not liking all the boilerplate, but at least we have a short cut way that should work for most cases, better than other Java APIs )? If it is I'll get this coded up. I'll deprecate the existing Archives, unless you think it best to just strip it out.
Even if this doesn't end up being *exactly* it, I think we're on the right track in terms of providing both separation of domains and a quickie "easy-access" mechanism. So if you start up, I don't think the work will be wasted as we can make tweaks here and there.
With SVN down for maintenance, I've got a patch attached to https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/SHRINKWRAP-102.
For now I've @Deprecated Archives and it acts as a delegate to ShrinkWrap.getDefaultDomain stuff. After committed we'll probably leave Archives deprecated, then remove it for the subsequent release.
Do we need to change the archive factory name to ShrinkWrap ?
As the name goes, Archives has more intent to it then ShrinkWrap. Even if it's 'just' a short cut for ShrinkWrap.createDomain().getArchivesFactory().create(""), I think 99% of the users will use the shortcut.


I think chobots should have partys like cp and stuff dont you??????
Yes They do But Hardly Ever.

Landstory prepared the Master Plan in 2009 for a site that included the historic landmarks of Old State Bank, Territorial Capitol Village, Fort Knox II and Sugar Loaf Mound, all located in Vincennes, Indiana. The process included site assessment and analysis, program definition, concept development and master plan implementation strategies. The key assessment and program activities for the site plan included development of capital projects, provision for wayfinding and connectivity elements, pedestrian enhancements and vehicular drop off and parking facilities. Landstory was then selected in 2016 by ISMHS to prepare further refinements and a cost estimate for three of the four original properties above. The plan for Territorial Capitol Village is planned for implementation in early 2018.

Noblesville, Indiana selected a "complete streets" approach when deciding to improve this one-mile entry corridor to the city's downtown. Landstory's concept plan recommended narrowed drive lanes and broader pedestrian ways, new sidewalks, lighting, sustainable treatments for storm drainage, and a custom, major gateway element as the central focus of a new roundabout at Greenfield Avenue and Christian Avenue, a major intersection south of the downtown.

As they say, "It's all in the details". The City of New Albany engaged a consultant team that included Landstory to develop a vision for their historic main street corridor, Mansion Row. Broadened pedestrian ways included new sidewalks, planted medians, lighting, and gateway elements and raingardens capped off this custom designed gateway monuments, decorative pavement, custom address markers and landscape, Landstory delivered a contextual and unique streetscape solution. Segments of original limestone curbs were excavated and reoriented in the median as edge treatments to lend authenticity to the streetscape while preserving this important New Albany relic.

Are you ready for some football?! We were, but not without telling the story of Alexander Ralston's vision and layout for downtown Indianapolis, developed in 1825. Lucas Oil Stadium's site orientation reinforces and commemorates Ralston's original design of the mile‐square and historic diagonal streets that once radiated from Monument Circle. The unique diagonal orientation of the stadium allows spectators striking views of central downtown while the tree‐lined urban grid of the exterior gives pedestrians a comfortable space to enjoy pre‐game festivities. Landstory serve as Landscape Architect of Record for this important downtown destination.


The Ark of the Covenant in Hebrew: Aron Habrit also known as the Ark of the Testimony, is a chest described in Book of Exodus as solely containing the Tablets of Stone on which the Ten Commandments were inscribed. According to some traditional interpretations of the Book of Exodus, Book of Numbers, and the Letter to the Hebrews the Ark also contained Aaron's rod, a jar of manna and the first Torah scroll as written by Moses.
There may be other testimony about the Ark that the Spirit of God lead the Ark somewhere else by other people worthy of it? see this issue later but before will see the meaning of the Ark of the Covenant.
The Ark of the Covenant represent the Messiah in many ways one of these is that the Ark kept inside the Manna, the rod of Aaron, the Ten Commandments and the Torah as the Messiah which is the Manna on inside in his body and the bread which came down from heaven, the rod of the priesthood of Melchizedek and the Light of the Torah which is the Word of God.
The acacia wood of the Ark was coated with gold so that worms do not eat it just as the Messiah was coated in Immortality for the Messiah will not experience the corruption of death.
Manna was keep in the Ark of the Testament by the Word of God for the God's people will be dressed in the Holy Spirit for all of them born again into Eternal life.
Interestingly that Moshe was the command to build the Ark of the Covenant at Mount Sinai and wanted to have the company of a humble woman..
Solomon had many wives, not because of lust but in their wisdom thought to have many wives with the daughters of the kings of various kingdoms for all those children who had salomon with these woman of royal reign in all those kingdoms to remove all the pagan idols of the nations but the wisdom of Solomon was a fool and not obeyed God's command not to take for themselves many wives; we know the story.
The Queen of the South had a child with Salomon and according to the ancient texts of Ethiopia was his son who took the Ark of the Covenant and was taken to Ethiopia.
"The Queen of the South will rise"
