A gentle stroll down the beach in Prestatyn, Wales with my parents and sisters. We came across this holiday camp. It didnt look particularly inviting but things were a bit like that then. This may of course have been taken after 1984 when it was closed down and used to train police in riot control. In 2001 it was redeveloped for housing so assuming foreign holidays are something of the past we need to get re-building.

Old style wind towers. Taken on a road trip in an open topped car, Los Angeles to San Francisco, July 1991.
I was with two old school friends, Keith Hunt and Robert Williams. They could both drive so I was the backseat passenger who could enjoy the views. occasionally I would ask them to pull over so I could get out my Mamiya RB67 Medium format camera and photograph the sights.
These wind towers were beside the main highway in California, there seemed to be hundreds of them and we enjoyed driving the service roads to have a look. America really is a country of big contrasts, the congested freeways and the open wind farms were a lasting memory.

Originally shot on 120 Fuji Velvia film this image was not manipulated other than changing contrast and reducing saturation (Velvia like Kodachrome before it tends to turn all images into a sunny day).
I have seen the image used in a few places, a front window display for Timberland stores and for the CD cover of "The best songs" by the 80s group China Crisis (https://bit.ly/2xTjhh8)
This is the original grade for the image from the period, done using Barco Creator software on a Silicon Graphics Indy machine.
I would probably do a softer grade if I were to work the image these days though that would of course take some of the drama out of it.

Australia's largest aid and development appeal, Caritas Australia's Project Compassion, runs each year Project Compassion. It gives people the opportunity to take part in the campaign to address the challenges of global poverty.Caritas Australia, an aid and development agency of the Catholic Church, is part of an international network that works in over 200 countries and territories to empower people to help themselves out of poverty.While the financial crisis affects people globally, it is the world's poorest who suffer the most severe impacts. Rather than forgetting the world's poor, now is the time to offer them support and opportunities for empowerment and control over their future.The theme for 2009 Project Compassion was 'an environment to grow in', highlighting the interconnection between healthy environments and healthy people. Control over land, food production and ultimately lives, leads to self empowerment and a brighter future.Support for Project Compassion this year allows local partners to continue their work in communities around the world. In Uganda, livelihood programs are helping rural families improved their food security and in India, environmental regeneration and organic agriculture projects are seeing a reduction in seasonal migration.In Papua New Guinea, former 'street boys' are learning about organic farming and then taking on community leadership roles and in Indonesia, Indigenous communities are advocating for the protection of local forests. Caritas Australia is also supporting programs which reconnect Indigenous Australians with their community and improve the health of rural Bolivian farmers.Caritas Australia's Project Compassion gives Australians an opportunity to help the most vulnerable people gain control over their lives and achieve their hopes and dreams for a better future. Breaking the cycle of poverty is possible when we all contribute to creating a just world.
To promote missionary work of the Church and support education, health, medical and social works for the people of the Holy Land and to preserve and restore the sacred historical sites.
There are three appeals each financial year for the Charitable Works Fund (CWF) of the Archdiocese of Sydney. The November Appeal is the second Appeal for the financial year.
The assessed parish amount for this appeal is $34,500 (Total $103,500 per annum). Any shortfall in the amount is required to be met out of Parish funds.
Envelopes for the Appeal need to be completed and either returned: on the collection plate or sent in by post – there is no stamp required.

The aim of Jesuit Mission is to contribute to the building of human communities of freedom, dignity and understanding in developing countries. They promote work for poverty alleviation in the developing world and the establishment and ongoing development of the Society of Jesus in areas of great need.
The St Vincent de Paul Society's 40,000 members and volunteers work hard to assist people in need and combat social injustice across Australia. Internationally, the Society operates in 130 countries and has over 950,000 members.
Members of the Society are people who live out their faith in action by visiting people in their homes to provide support, friendship and material assistance. This practice is known as home visitation, and is carried out by local St Vincent de Paul Society conferences. Conferences are typically Parish or school based groups of people who respond to calls for assistance from people in the local community and work closely with the Society's Vinnies Centres.People who are being assisted by conference members are often provided with furniture, clothing and household goods free of charge through the Society's Vinnies Centres. Centres also offer affordable clothing and goods to the wider community. The profit from the sale of stock from the Vinnies Centres is used to provide resources and support to people in need.For over 150 years, home visitation has been the core work of the Society. By visiting people in their homes, the St Vincent de Paul Society aims to help men, women and families to break their cycle of poverty and disadvantage.

Seven GOP Governors Shun Stay-Home Orders But Grab Disaster Relief
April 08 | 2020
Seven governors — all Republicans — have requested and received federal major disaster declarations for their states for the COVID-19 pandemic but have still refused to issue stay-at-home orders for their constituents.
As of Tuesday, 42 states have implemented statewide emergency orders mandating social distancing in order to slow the spread of the coronavirus and requiring residents to stay home at most times.
But eight governors have resisted explicit guidance from Surgeon General Jerome Adams, who said on April 1 that the Trump administration's guidance on social distancing should be considered "a national stay-at-home order" that all governors should implement.
Seven of those eight, however, convinced the Trump administration that the COVID-19 situation in their state was serious enough to be classified as a federal major disaster. This designation allows a state to access a significant amount of federal assistance through the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Gov. Asa Hutchinson has refused to issue a stay-at-home order, saying his "targeted response" of encouraging social distancing "has proven to be effective."
"If you look at any of the measuring sticks, we have reduced the spread. Our growth rate is lower than it is in most of the other states, some with even a stringent stay-at-home order," he told NPR Monday. Still, he requested a federal emergency declaration on March 30 and received it on April 3.
Gov. Kim Reynolds has rejected calls for a stay-at-home order, saying, "This has become a divisive issue at a time when we must be united in our response to this crisis." She said Friday that such an order would promote have "a lot of downsides," including more "suicides and domestic abuse."
She requested a federal declaration last month and obtained it on March 24.
Gov. Pete Ricketts has declined to issue a stay-at-home order, saying it was not necessary for Nebraska. He asked for a federal declaration last month and received it Saturday.
Gov. Doug Burgum has opted against a stay-at-home order because he doesn't believe one "makes sense."
"We're a low population state and a large low population state," he explained last week. He requested a federal disaster declaration last month, which was granted one on April 1.
Gov. Kevin Stitt said last week that he would not issue a stay-at-home order because doing so would be unrealistic.
"In my opinion, I cannot shut things down and bunker in place,"x he claimed. His federal disaster request was approved on Sunday.
Gov. Kristi Noem rejected the idea of a stay-at-home order, saying last week that she believes in limited government to protect "citizens rights." She added that the people are responsible for their own safety and must take "personal responsibility" for their health. She received a federal disaster declaration on Sunday.
Gov. Gary Herbert urged citizens to stay at home last month, but has made it clear that it was not a mandatory "shelter in place" order. He requested a federal declaration last month and received it Saturday.
Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon has also refused to issue a stay-at-home order, but has not yet received a federal disaster declaration.
Another five Republican governors belatedly issued stay-at-home orders after the surgeon general's April 1 guidance. But they requested federal disaster aid first, before issuing those orders.
Gov. Kay Ivey obtained a federal disaster declaration on March 30. She did not issue a stay-at-home order until April 3.
Gov. Brian Kemp announced a federal disaster declaration on March 29. He did not issue a stay-at-home order until April 2.
Gov. Mike Parson received a federal declaration on March 26, two days after he requested one. He did not issue a stay-at-home order until April 3.
Gov. Henry McMaster obtained a federal declaration on March 27. He did not issue a stay-at-home order until Monday.
Gov. Bill Lee requested a federal declaration in late March, and his request was approved on April 2. He did not issue a stay-at-home order until that day.
None of the governors in either group immediately responded to inquiries about their COVID-19 responses and requests for disaster aid.

Here is my highlight from this months (November) HPB Journal published by Wiley. (In terms of conflict of interest I should state that I am one of 3 Associate Editors of this Journal).
The success of chemotherapy for colorectal hepatic metastases and the improvements in technique and anaesthesia, which have lead to improved safety in liver surgery, have meant that more patients can have the opportunity to undergo liver resection. Staged liver resection is defined as a planned procedure where part of the liver is removed and regeneration of the liver remnant is allowed to occur before a second surgery to remove residual tumour is performed.
This type of surgery can be difficult for a number of reasons not least it demands that regeneration of the liver remnant will occur to allow the second procedure to take place safely. Chemotherapy induced sinusoidal obstruction syndrome, steatosis and fibrosis can all limit this regeneration. In surgical terms most of the attention in staged resection has concerned the hepatic inflow as a regulator of liver regeneration. In this issue of HPB, Faitot et al , explore the influence of venous congestion and venous drainage as a determinant of regenerative capacity.
They studied patients who underwent a right hepatectomy in whom the middle hepatic vein tributaries to segment IV were removed or not. They demonstrated that preservation of the tributaries of segment IV draining into the middle hepatic vein permitted greater regeneration of segment IV after right hepatectomy than in patients where these tributaries were sacrificed.
Planning staged resections is never easy, but this study highlights the importance of giving serious consideration to the venous drainage of the future liver remnant to ensure maximum regeneration and thereby improve ease and safety of subsequent liver resection.

Here's What Happened When A Muslim Complained About Restaurant's Bacon Sign
F THESE A-HOLES!
Local Winooski, Vermont restaurant Sneakers Bistro has removed a sign that read, "Yield Sneakers Bacon" citing opposition from a Muslim community member and safety concerns.
The sign was put up as part of a city program that allows businesses to post an advertisement in an area where they have helped maintain city flowerbeds. The sign that read "Yield Sneakers Bacon" was removed after a woman, identifying herself as a Muslim, posted in an online community forum, stating she was personally offended by the sign, according to a WPTZ News report. WPTZ wrote that the woman who complained online called the sign "insensitive to those who do not consume pork."
"Given the large number of Muslim families in Winooski, as well as many others who do not eat pork for a variety of reasons, it seems unnecessary for this insensitive business sign to be at the city's main crosswalk," she wrote.
Unfortunately, the restaurant's owner basically let an acolyte of Shariah law bully him into submission, which is extraordinarily sad given that the U.S. Constitution affords him the right to display his sign, Conservative Tribune reports.
When the owner of Sneakers Bistro heard about her complaint, he responded by taking down the sign.
But he also posted the following message to his Facebook page:
Saturday morning the restaurant posted to Facebook, "We are here to serve people BREAKFAST, not politics. We removed the sign that was located on public property as a gesture of respect for our diverse community. There were also concerns raised about safety (emphasis added). Removing it was not a difficult decision. We still love bacon. We still love eggs. Please have the political conversation elsewhere."
Notice how he mentioned "safety" concerns. This made it sound as if he feared the Muslims in Winooski would have taken violent action had he not removed the sign.
This is AMERICA! Now we have Muslims telling us what to do? It wasn't like this until a man named BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA was fraudulently elected as president!
They should have left the damn sign up!

Dan Speaker is considered by many to be one of the world's foremost experts in the art of sword fighting for use in the motion picture industry. He was born into a military family and spent his early years traveling from country to country and from one military base to another. He developed an early fascination with swords, martial arts and the sport of fencing, and as a teenager he began to apply what he had learned to his new interest, the theater. Dan has also ridden horses and playes the Highland bagpipe.
He attended the prestigious Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in Glasgow, Scotland, earning a Diploma in Dramatic Arts and a Fencing Coach's credential.
Returning to the United States, Dan was working in regional theater as an actor and fight choreographer when he met his wife to be, dancer turned swords woman Jan Bryant. Together they moved to Hollywood and they created the Academy of Theatrical Combat, establishing a unique method of teaching and choreographing the art of sword fighting.
Working with top stunt coordinators in Hollywood, they learned to coordinate and perform entire action sequences for major movies and television along with sword fighting.
They also teach the art of combat to actors and stunt performers, continue to coordinate action, perform stunts, sword fight, and occasionally they do a bit of acting.

Q: How to get all row's data from MySQL and store it as a variable on another script file when clicking on the button in this row? I need your help with my homework:
I'm setting up a project which generates a pdf certificate for a list of student stored on a MySQL database.
For the pdf generator, I used fpdf and I have any problem with that.
But for the interface I displayed the data on a table and added a button on each row to print data on the pdf.
so what I want is that, when the user click on the button 'print' each data in this row is stored on a variable that I can reuse on the script that provide the pdf.
while($res = mysqli_fetch_array($result)) {
    echo "
";
    echo "".$res['ID']."	";
        echo "".$res['Name']."	";
        echo "".$res['Parcours']."	";
    echo "".$res['Appreciation']."	";
    echo "".$res['SingDate']."	";
    echo "<input type='submit' id='print' class='btn btn-outline-info waves-effect' value='Print'/>	";
}

A: Put the ID in the value of the submit button. Then the script that you can submit to can get the value of the button that they used to submit the form.
echo "<input type='submit' name='printID' class='btn btn-outline-info waves-effect' value='{$res['ID']}'/>	";

In the form's action script, use $_POST['printID'] or $_GET['printID'] to get the ID that they selected to print. It can look up the rest of the information about the student in the database using this ID.
$stmt = $mysqli->prepare("SELECT Name, Parcours, Appreciation
    FROM students
    WHERE ID = ?");
$stmt->bind_param("i", $_GET['printID']);
$stmt->execute();
$stmt->bind_result($name, $parcours, $appreciation);
$stmt->fetch();

[Review] The Reproach of Hunger: Food, Justice, and Money in the Twenty-First Century
To critique a critic: that is the task before me. In The Reproach of Hunger: Food, Justice, and Money in the Twenty-First Century, David Rieff offers an erudite and well-researched analysis of the problem of world hunger and the challenges associated with international development. While occasionally dense, his book both exposes the contradictions of the philanthrocapitalist dogma currently in vogue and challenges readers to reexamine the causes of growing development inequality among countries.
In outlook, Rieff, whose previous books include Slaughterhouse: Bosnia and the Failure of the West (1997), A Bed for the Night: Humanitarianism in Crisis (2003), and At the Point of a Gun: Democratic Dreams and Armed Intervention (2006), is unapologetically pessimistic. "Hunger and poverty are inseparable," he writes, "and despite the many real successes in poverty reduction in many parts of the Global South, it is highly unlikely that these gains will be sustainable if rises in the price of staple food significantly outstrip the rise in incomes of the poor as a result of sound development policies." Due to the 2007-08 global economic crisis, recent extreme weather events, commodities speculation, and the diversion of corn to ethanol production, he notes, there is a "new normal" for global food production characterized by high prices and surging demand. And "[i]f significant changes to the global food system are not made, a crisis of absolute global food supply could occur sometime between 2030 and 2050…when the world's population will have risen…to nine or perhaps even ten billion."
Central to Rieff's critique is what he sees as philanthrocapitalism's unquestioning adherence to the secular faith of progress first promoted by eighteenth-century Enlightenment thinkers, subsequently nurtured by Gilded Age capitalists, exalted by Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan in the 1980s, and promoted today by their neoliberal acolytes. The intellectual embodiment of this hope, says Rieff, can be found in the thought and work of Bill and Melinda Gates, the development economics of Columbia University professor Jeffrey Sachs, and political scientist Francis Fukuyama's triumphalist "end of history" thesis that capitalism and democracy were inevitable following the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
While Rieff seems to delight in putting a few dents in Sachs's worldview, his real aim here is to carve out space for a thoughtful critique of the historical, economic, and social forces underpinning international development as it is presently understood and practiced. To that end, he frequently challenges the "impatient optimism" advocated by the Gateses as well as their foundation's technocratic approach to the problems of global poverty and hunger. Similarly, he has little patience for those who insist that the line between the public and private sectors has been "blurred" — a trope, he says, that disingenuously ignores the ideological underpinnings of the neoliberal system, resulting in impoverished dialogue and the dismissal of intellectual alternatives.
"There is a breathtaking vainglory in Gates's attempt to exclude anyone who questions the basic premises of his philanthropy from the aid debate on the basis of their supposed moral turpitude," Rieff writes, in a passage typical of his critique. He is equally disdainful of World Bank president Jim Yong Kim for saying that "optimism is [one's] moral duty when working with the poor," and of Sachs for equating pessimism with cynicism and saying it is "the biggest obstacle to challenges such as poverty and fighting climate change." Indeed, Sachs make the case for optimism in his 2006 bestseller The End of Poverty: Economic Possibilities for Our Time (which Rieff cites throughout) by arguing that
[p]rogress is possible, but not inevitable. Reason can be mobilized to promote social well-being, but can also be overtaken by destructive passions. Human institutions...should be designed in the light of reason precisely to control or harness the irrational side of human behavior. In this sense, the Enlightenment commitment to reason is not a denial of the unreasonable side of human nature, but rather a belief that despite human irrationality and passions, human reason can still be harnessed...to solve basic problems of social organization and to improve human welfare.
The tension between Sachs's view of the possible and Rieff's bleaker perspective is a recurring theme throughout The Reproach of Hunger. But in wrestling with widely diverging views of the perfectibility of humanity, Rieff extends the scope of his book well beyond the issue of hunger and food production and into the domain of economics and philosophy. The common thread is his skeptical view of the belief that technology-driven innovation, like the cavalry, will ride to the rescue in time to save the world from disaster.
"Development specialists tend to emphasize technical problems and technical solutions," he writes, "but like other central elements of the global system, food has always been first and foremost a political question." As for the efficacy of philanthrocapitalism as practiced by the likes of Gates, Rieff is unsparing:
Assuming that one believes, on the one hand, that innovation bears limitless promise, and thus societies that commit to innovation either are or at least at some point will become successful societies, and on the other, that the great ideological battles have been fought and that liberal capitalism — the right and deserving side — has won, then Gates's utilitarianism is going to seem like nothing more than simple common sense....No matter how extraordinary its accomplishments to date and its promises for the future...can a technological order endure for long in the absence of a moral order of equal power and seriousness?
This criticism, along with his in-depth exploration of how nonprofit and corporate social responsibility programs feed into and shape international development efforts, are the linchpins of Rieff's argument that what the global community really needs is less economic status quo and more thoughtful dissent. "To expect the powerful to question the legitimacy of the system in which they gained their power would be a utopian absurdity," he argues. Elsewhere, citing Princeton economics professor and Nobel laureate Angus Deaton, who has written that "the technical, anti-political view of development assistance has survived the inconvenient fact that apparently clear technical solutions [keep] changing," Rieff wagers that the promise of technology to solve all problems, in all places, will prove illusory — in part, due to the technocratic camp's "refusal or inability to think politically, and, worse, to imagine that it doesn't have to."
Rieff is well aware of his privileged position as a third-party observer to the debate — never having had the responsibility of running an international development organization or having held political office — and he is adamant in insisting that this allows him to put the global system under a magnifying glass. While true to an extent, it is a view that is marred by his unbending pessimism; indeed, long before the end of the book, his apparent disdain for hopeful striving grows tiresome. Nonetheless, his ability to traverse myriad topics deftly and with passion is likely to keep most readers engaged. If the closest he comes to providing an alternative to the current development regime is to say it will "be found in the strengthening of the state and in the promise and burden of democratic politics" — about which, as you may have guessed, he is not optimistic — well, proposing a concrete alternative is not really the point of the book.
Throughout The Reproach of Hunger, Rieff warns against clinging to a blind faith in technology and progress as the answer to the problems of international development — not because he doesn't think they might bear fruit, but rather because such a faith is grounded in "a seemingly unshakable conviction that no countervailing perspective need be taken seriously and thus that there is no need for any 'Plan B'." If he doesn't offer a "Plan B" of his own, he at least gives us, his readers, pause to reflect on the core assumptions of current efforts to alleviate the suffering of the most vulnerable and help them realize better circumstances. Even if we don't agree with his conclusions, given what's at stake, it is hard not to admire his courage and applaud his willingness to present an alternative view.

Informative analysis of the problem of world hunger and the challenges associated with international development. Out of compassion and self-preservation leaders should feed the hungry. The short-term response is almost always counterproductive. Relief agencies ship in food from overseas, undermining incentives for local producers; and governments provide market-distorting subsidies. And some countries – most of them in Africa – suffer from relatively low agricultural productivity and inefficient distribution channels. Many children are going to bed hungry, and many adults are forced to dedicate all of their energies to simply meeting this most basic of needs. So while the numbers at the highest level are positive, the reality on the ground is far less rosy. Food security by some measures is falling further behind.

All right, bear with me here, as we're about to jump in to a topic that could ruffle a few of your feathers, but in a good way.
Our hope is that this article will be another reminder that you're in control of your health, and being informed is one of the best tools you can have in your box. You get one body for your entire life, it's time you took command of it, as well as what outside factors you choose to let affect it.
Now let me preface these points with the fact that this isn't to say you should discount what your doctor recommends for you, but in the name of taking control of your own health, this is a decision that shouldn't be 100 percent dictated by your doctor.
The topic of birth control may seem relatively simple, but chances are you may not have had much of a choice where this aspect of your health is concerned. This may be in part because you thought you knew what you wanted, but you didn't realize all of the options out there. Or maybe your doctor just prescribed you something without really having a conversation with you (and that's a topic for a whole other day).
If you're someone who travels frequently or you're so busy you can't be bothered with remembering to take something like your birth control pill, then that method may not be best for you. Some women are better off with an option that they only have to think about once a month such as the birth control patch or ring.
Then there are options like the birth control implant, which is implanted in your arm, or the IUD (intrauterine device), both of which last for years. Definitely more of a commitment in price, time and process, but these options may suit your lifestyle better.
For example, you may have a couple of children and know you don't want anymore, but the permanency of sterilization is not something you're ready to do or even think about. Rather than keeping up with a frequent birth control method that is daily or monthly, something that lasts for a few years might be more comfortable given your lifestyle and your point in life.
First and foremost we hope all of our Women's Health readers are fully aware that birth control does not protect you from STDs. Secondly, while one birth control method (or a couple methods used simultaneously) might be ideal for the sexually-active woman who is not committed to one partner, it may not be the best combination of methods for a woman who is monogamous, or even a woman who is monogamous, but has no intention of having children with her partner.
While this choice is still entirely yours, if you are in a relationship where purposefully becoming pregnant has been a topic of conversation, it might be beneficial to seek out your partner's thoughts. Do research together and do some talking about the future to move forward with your decision.
Plain and simple, every body is different, which is why there might be a birth control method or prescription that does not properly mix with your body chemistry. For example, from a personal perspective, one birth control pill I was on for just a couple months caused me to cry constantly for no reason at all. It wasn't pleasant to say the least. Then I moved on to a birth control pill that seemed to be fine for about a year, but upon further research I discovered this pill has a long string of well-documented medical problems among many of its users, so I made another switch.
This is just one personal account, but I've heard first hand from many other women how they tried one method that just didn't work. Not in the sense that it didn't do it's job of preventing pregnancy, but it just didn't react with their body as well as other options did once they tested a few out. Don't be afraid to try different methods or ask about them until you settle on one that doesn't interfere with your quality of life.
By far one of the most important factors is your opinion on the matter. There's not much to explain here other than the fact that you should never feel pressured to embark on a new birth control method that you feel is not the best option for you.
At the end of the day, women take birth control for a variety of reasons other than the obvious one of preventing pregnancy. And just like your reason for using birth control isn't one-size-fits-all, neither is the method in which you receive it.

Boots pulls out of ethical trading commitment
#retailers#ethical#cosmetics#toiletries
By Guy Montague-Jones, 22-Jun-2009
Boots has been accused of "turning its back on workers" after the health and beauty retailer pulled out of the Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI).
The ETI aims to improve conditions and rights for workers and has built up a membership that includes 56 firms with a joint turnover of more than £100bn. NGOs and trade unions are also members and their job is to scrutinize company claims and ensure that they honour their ethical commitments.
Leaving after six years of membership
Alliance Boots, owned by private equity firm KKR, is now tearing up its commitment to the ETI after six years of membership.
NGO members of the scheme reacted angrily to the decision. "High street chemist Boots is turning its back on workers by cutting back its ethical trading commitments."
Peter Williams, speaking on behalf of NGO members, said: "We would question why a major retailer like Boots is leaving ETI if it is committed to improving labour standards.
"We fear it is turning its back on workers in its supply chain."
Boots denied these accusations. In a statement the UK-based retailer said: "Boots UK still firmly believes in the principles of the ETI regarding establishing good labour conditions.
"However we wish to move our agenda forwards and incorporate other aspects of sustainability. We believe very strongly that our business should concentrate on all aspects of sustainability in the supply chain, not just labour standards."
Nevertheless, Williams said Boots needs more than ever to be a member of the ETI, keeping in mind that it has outsourced much of its production to China and other developing countries.
Scrutinizing claims and commitment
Making ethical claims is not enough, according to the coordinator for the NGO caucus. He said: "Any company can claim to be ethical. Membership of ETI means scrutiny of company claims, and their supply chains, by unions and NGOs."
Williams also suggested that the decision to leave the ETI could have come from its private equity owners KKM. He said: "This is not the first time a retailer, which has been taken over by a private equity company, has left the ETI."
Boots vehemently denies any link. "Our decision not to renew our ETI membership is not connected in any way to the ownership of the business."

The origin of variety is unknown, though there is no relationship to Rheinriesling. Rizling Vlašský is planted also in Northern parts of Italy, Austria, Hungary, Czech Republic, Romania and Slovenia. Since is the second most planted grape variety in Slovakia, vine yards with this grape can be found in all regions. Rizling Vlašský is ripening quite late, it has moderate resistance to fungal diseases, but very good resistance against frosts on the other hand. Wines are characterised by natural higher acidity that can be reflected in steely character. When the grapes reach full ripeness in combination with good vine yard works and low yields in good vintages, wines can be very pleasant and harmonious with unique racy character. Aroma tones are described often as red currant, goose berry and meadow flowers.
Styles of wines produced from Rizling vlašský varies from quality akostné odrodové, to different attributes (kabinetné, neskorý zber, výber z hrozna), also with higher content of residual sugar (bobuľový výber, hrozienkový výber, ľadové víno, slamové víno which are characterised with ripen honey tones and sultanas. Grape is also crucial for domestic production of sparkling wines. Sur - lie Rizling vlašský is rarely produced as well.

Q: How do i get shipping method of current Store : Magento I am creating functionality to get Shipping methods enabled for selected store.
Currently I am using below code to get Shipping details :
$methods = Mage::getSingleton('shipping/config')->getActiveCarriers();
$shipMethods = array();

foreach ($methods as $shippigCode=>$shippingModel)
{

    $shippingTitle = Mage::getStoreConfig('carriers/'.$shippigCode.'/title');
    $shippingPrice = Mage::getStoreConfig('carriers/'.$shippigCode.'/price');
    $shippingLabel = Mage::getStoreConfig('carriers/'.$shippigCode.'/label');
    $shipMethods[]=array('Shipping Type' => $shippigCode, 'title'=> $shippingTitle, 'price'=> $shippingPrice);

}
print_r($shipMethods);

I only get config details of the default store.
My question is : How do i get shipping methods of selected store?

A: By default the value is null in getActiveCarriers
getActiveCarriers($store = null)
So you can pass the store as a parameter.
You can get the current store with
Mage::app()->getStore()->getStoreId()

So the function you will use is
Mage::getSingleton('shipping/config')->getActiveCarriers(Mage::app()->getStore()->getStoreId())

Certainly one of one of the most widespread electrical wiring concerns is on how to wire a swap. Though employing switches in your own home is sort of straightforward, wiring a single may not be that quick for everybody. An ON-OFF switch is really quite simple to wire. There are actually different kinds of switches, but for this instance, let's say you might be installing a single-pole toggle switch, an incredibly popular change (and also the easiest).
You will find a few colours of wires in a regular single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and inexperienced. Splice the black wire in two and link them on the terminal screws - one on top plus the other on the base screw in the swap. The white wire serves as being a resource of uninterrupted electrical power which is generally linked to some mild coloured terminal screw (e.g., silver). Connect the environmentally friendly wire on the ground screw of one's switch.
These methods would normally be adequate to help make a normal change operate with no difficulty. Nonetheless, in the event you are not confident which you can achieve the activity correctly and safely and securely you greater permit the pros do it rather. Right after all, there is certainly a explanation why this endeavor is probably the most frequent electrical wiring concerns requested by many people.
For many motive, the way to wire a ceiling fan is also among essentially the most prevalent electrical wiring concerns. To simplify this process, you should utilize one change for the single ceiling fan. To wire the lover, it really is simply a subject of connecting the black wire with the ceiling fan towards the black wire on the change. When there is a light-weight, the blue wire should be related towards the black wire from the swap as well.
You will find motives why these are one of the most usually asked electrical wiring questions. A person, many think it can be simple to try and do, and two, they are the prevalent electrical duties in your house. But then you really mustn't set your basic safety at risk with your objective to economize. The stakes could even be substantially larger in the event you attempt to lower your expenses and do an electrical wiring task with out adequate understanding or experience.

Fences, hedgerows, barriers. They're all physical boundaries. But what about mental boundaries, those emotional and (sometimes) physical distances we put between ourselves, others, and our writing? In this podcast, we chat about the pros and cons of mental boundaries, how we put them into practice, and the difference between boundaries and selfishness.

Many technology professionals believe IT certifications reached their peak during the height of the dot-com boom. But such a mindset may well prove shortsighted. The subsequent dot-com bomb led to an exodus of certified technicians from the industry. Then, as the dust settled, IT certifications were reworked. Accreditations were better mapped to real-world needs and expertise. Program flaws were eliminated. Training programs improved.
Now, in turbulent economic times, IT certifications will provide more relevance than ever before. With unprecedented bailouts, widespread cost and workforce reductions, and a slew of new platforms being released, IT accreditations will assume renewed importance in 2009. Here are 10 reasons why IT certifications will prove important in 2009.
Organizations are laying off employees at alarming levels. When wildly successful franchises such as the National Football League downsize 10 percent, you know the economy's in trouble.
When faced with difficult personnel decisions, organizations generally try to retain the most skillful and knowledgeable employees. Certified IT pros have a credible advantage over their colleagues. While holding a current IT accreditation is no guarantee against being laid off, the more education, expertise, and skills you can demonstrate, the better.
Many organizations — and city and state governments in particular — are asking employees to accept salary reductions. Whereas staff may have grumbled over a scant four or five percent salary increase a few years ago, today many are being asked to cut their compensation by those amounts.
Holding current IT certification does not guarantee you won't face salary reductions. But possessing specific certifications — including A+, Security+, Microsoft credentials, and other accreditations –often qualifies employees for higher pay grades. Thus, when forced to accept a salary reduction, you're more likely to be earning more than your non-certified colleagues.
Despite the economic downturn, some companies are still hiring. Others are actively promoting from within. Recent headlines prove medical facilities, health insurance companies, and manufacturers, among others, continue expansion efforts.
Significant competition exists for these open positions. With unemployment exceeding six percent, a number expected to grow in 2009, jockeying for good jobs will only increase. If your resume is bolstered by new and timely certifications, you'll gain an advantage over others applying for the same role. For better or worse, in cases where two otherwise equal candidates are competing for the same lucrative job offer, one applicant's certifications could prove the deciding factor. Certification may even be required to apply for the position.
Many technology professionals feel they've done all they can do as a support technician or network administrator. They may be working in positions where they'll receive no additional responsibilities, pay, or challenges unless they move up the corporate ladder.
IT certifications can certainly open the door to such promotions. By completing project management training and proving command of the fundamentals by earning a Project Management Institute (PMI) Project Management Professional or CompTIA Project+ certification, an administrator can demonstrate initiative and expertise in an effort to win a project management promotion. Likewise, a support tech might leverage a Microsoft Certified IT Professional (MCITP) accreditation to gain a new position as a server administrator.
Certifications are receiving a boost from considerable reworking. Many organizations, including CompTIA and Cisco, are revamping and redesigning exams and instructional initiatives. And Microsoft really stands out due to the variety and impact of changes made to its training and certification program.
Microsoft's new generation of certifications — including the new MCITP, Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist (MCTS), and Microsoft Certified Professional Developer (MCPD) accreditations — map directly to real-world needs. The MCTS, for example, measures a candidate's skill, knowledge, and expertise deploying, maintaining, and administering specific Microsoft platforms.
Microsoft's new MCITP credential, meanwhile, is aimed at helping organizations meet specific staffing needs. The certification is designed to demonstrate expertise within job roles, such as server administrator or desktop support technician, thereby better enabling hiring managers to spot qualified, well-targeted candidates.
To keep these new-generation certifications relevant, Microsoft is expiring new credentials when mainstream support for the corresponding technology platforms is retired. Those changes, combined with the introduction of classroom and lab training requirements for new higher-level certifications, are helping put the shine back on IT certifications in 2009.
Consultants can benefit from IT certifications in 2009, too. As clients more closely guard expenses and become more discerning, organizations needing to outsource computer services and support will want to ensure the firms and technicians they hire are competent. IT certifications are a great method for consultants to demonstrate their skill, knowledge, and expertise to potential clients.
A slew of new products is sure to gain momentum in 2009. Microsoft's 2008-branded server products lead the charge of new technologies that will gain market share throughout the year.
As organizations begin replacing older or failed equipment with these new products, and as myriad other factors require that the new platforms be deployed, these organization will seek qualified IT technicians, managers, and consultants to plan, deploy, and administer the upgrades. If you can demonstrate your skills and expertise with these platforms, you'll be better positioned to provide those services. By becoming certified on new technologies that gain traction in 2009, you'll not only strengthen your resume, but you'll also position yourself well by aligning your expertise with these new products.
Server, desktop, and network downtime, as well as mean times to repair, must improve. This is true for most every organization, but especially for those that have reduced staff, as fewer employees are available to pick up the slack when errors or failures occur.
When running lean, as many companies have been forced to do, remaining employees' workloads are often increased. Thus, it's imperative that organizations fully utilize remaining staff.
IT certification programs are one method of ensuring that staff members have the training and instruction required to fulfill specific responsibilities. Employees who are better trained and educated as the result of certification efforts will be less likely to commit errors that lead to failure. And when outages do occur, the corresponding education and training will prove helpful in speeding recovery.
When sales or funding levels dive, reducing operating costs becomes critical. During periods of recession, organizations are obligated to maximize efficiency. As a result, productivity requirements become greater for each worker.
n, organizations know that IT certification efforts help maximize ROI.
A Kotler Marketing Group study published by CompTIA revealed certifications enabled organizations to reduce expenses, identify knowledge gaps, and improve productivity. In addition, certifications proved helpful in improving uptime and reducing turnover.
If nothing else, during periods of stress and upheaval, it helps to have confidence. While you can't insulate yourself from major economic trends, you can leverage certifications to know you've taken prudent steps to keep skills current and make yourself an attractive employee, both to your current employer and to prospective hiring managers, should a pink slip arrive.
Some 75 percent of IT professionals responding to the Kotler study said their CompTIA certifications make them more attractive to employers, while 84 percent believe they now have the skills necessary to fulfill a job's requirements. Further, some 93% agreed or strongly agreed that customers felt they are in good hands when working with them, due in part to their certifications.
With numerous other factors seemingly out of your control, IT certifications present at least one element you can command. In an age of unprecedented business and economic turmoil, the resulting confidence boost can only help.
