Meet Michael Spegel, aka Gercollector, an enigmatic German car influencer who lets his impressive cadre of expensive wheels do the talking, while he stays silent and hidden behind his trademark helmet. With north of 1 million followers on Instagram, he is Germany's top automotive influencer—and among the top car influencers in the world. We spoke to him about the anonymity, what strategies have helped him gain such a massive following and the business behind his social accounts.
A huge garage, over 30 rare sports cars aaaand a guy in a helmet. That's the standard setting for many of Michael Spegel's videos, the man better known as Gercollector. "You will only find limited pieces in our collection. The nice thing is: these are value assets with which you have fun. Every car in the collection is taken out for a spin, for laps on the racetrack," the Gercollector told OMR. He's careful to say "our collection" as his father started it way back when. "I connect a lot with the Ferrari F40 because I grew up with the car. But I don't have a favorite, the cars are too different for that." In addition to Ferrari's iconic model, Gercollector has several Porsches, Lambos, McLarens, Audis, Mercedes—the list goes one. Gercollector's love of expensive cars has earned him a massive following on Instagram, YouTube and Tiktok. Now he's building a business out of it.

The faceless influencer
"I've always loved taking pictures of cars and have since I was young. It was purely out of this passion that I started social media," says Gercollector. About five years ago, he launched his Instagram account, which today has more than 1.1 million followers. Initially, the content strategy was quite simple: nice cars coupled with nice photos. No sign whatsoever of Spegel's persona in the first few years. "For me, the primary motivation was always I want to have the cars in the foreground and never wanted to be seen myself," he says. In spite of the approach—or perhaps precisely because of it—the channel is growing strongly, amassing 370,000 followers by mid-2018 and doubling two years later, before eclipsing a million two years after that. Today, he employs four people for content creation, but still makes an effort to answer every question from the community himself.

"Actually, I didn't show myself at all until two years ago. Then more and more comments started coming in, asking why I don't make a YouTube channel as well," says the Gercollector. The big question: how can you start a Youtube channel without really showing yourself? That's how I came up with the helmet solution." Thus in early 2020, Gercollector has become a core component of photos and videos—just wearing a helmet that hides his face. That's not to say that he is completely averse to any publicity, his real name is after all listed in the imprint on the Gercollector website. Despite his presence, the focus in his content remains on cars.
Revving up growth with car content on TikTok and YouTube
From a content strategy perspective, Gercollector keeps it simple and similar regardless of the platform. Whether it's Instagram, Youtube or Tiktok, he shows expensive cars from his collection and drives them around. "I have my own style. I try to take people into the driver's seat, to give them a feel for the sound. And I take them on a trip on the highway," he says. And that works increasingly through video content. "Instagram reels is extremely attractive, as people are no longer interested in pictures alone," says Gercollector. "For me, Instagram continues to be the most important platform, but for weeks there's been a strong shift towards Tiktok." Here, it's all about video shorts of engines revving.
However, this rapid rise of reach is not limited to Instagram and TikTok. In June 2020, his newly launched Youtube channel has just under 7000 subscribers, according to Socialblade. Two years later, that figure has reached 234,000 with just under 40 million views. In retrospect, he wishes he'd have started the YouTube channel earlier, as his early start on Instagram has been a key factor in his large, mostly organic, reach there. Things are much better on TikTok for Gercollector, where he has 830,000 followers and his videos typically notch over a million views. "I started Tiktok just for fun, but now it's a key contractual clause for most collaborations," he says.

Partnering with top players
Gercollector has leveraged his reach into collaborations with the biggest automotive names: Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Aston Martin and Bentley, as well as tire makers Pirelli and Michelin and a host of tuning shops. "The top priority for me in a collaboration is that it's authentic. I'll only partner up with products I believe in and am only interested in long-term collaboration," says Gercollector. In addition to running standard-practice paid posts and ads, he also develops special campaigns in close collaboration with his partners. These include doing laps on the race track in a McLaren or a taking a 1000-kilometer road trip in the Audi RS e-tron GT. He is also frequently invited by his partners to test their latest sports cars and special editions.
Now, he's taken his partnerships to the next level. "Audi is the first time I've been a brand ambassador for a manufacturer," he says. The German carmaker announced the partnership about a month ago. As a part of his role, Gercollector is supposed to show "petrolheads" (i.e., combustion engine lovers) in his community that electric cars are also really fun. To this end, he repeatedly showcases the aforementioned RS e-tron GT—which is also the first electric car in his collection.
Specialized products in the company shop
Germcollector could certainly live off on his partnerships alone—and live comfortably. However, he also runs his own online store for an added source of revenue. "People have always asked me what products I use to clean my cars. So I got to thinking, why not launch my own line of products?," Gercollector recalls. He partners with Nanolex, a cleaning product manufacturer specializing in car care, and develops his own line of six specialty cleaners for rims, shine, interiors, etc. "My products are sold in several dealerships, select gas stations and, of course, in the online shop. DIY stores have also made the occasional inquiry, but I have no interest in mass production," he says.

In addition to the car care products, Gercollector sells staples of classic merch—T-shirts, sweaters, hoodies and license plate rims with his logo. The biggest outlier, however, is a plush teddy rocking a Gercollector shirt. "The teddy and the helmet, those are my trademarks," he says. He says he received an oversized version of the stuffed animal as a gift from a friend and kept showing it off in the passenger seat until it became his mascot. Mercedes even requested the teddy as a co-driver for the legendary Mille Miglia car race.
When asked for figures on the business, Gercollector declined to provide specifics. He did say that he can make a very good living from his social media career alone—while adding a nice car to the collection every now and then. "Until two years ago, it was pure passion, which involved a lot of time. Now I do the whole thing full-time. And that's great. I can test the latest cars, have exciting collaborations and show off our car collection."

Q: Open source online document editor Can somebody tell me some open source projects that implement document management online?
I need to upload document (pdf, docx,fb2), convert it to doc and allow user to edit it online and then convert back to pdf.
Images and formatting should be preserved.
I found teamlab, but it is not free and also I don't need collaborative editing.
Thank you.

A: It depends what your requirements are when you say 'online editing'.
You could use Nuxeo including the Nuxeo Drive extension, to enable users to edit the files from the remote repository locally (transparent in the sense the user does not take the step of downloading or uploading files), and their changes are then synced to the repository.
The user can edit the .doc file locally using OpenOffice (or MS Word if they have it).
If the requirement is strictly 'online/web only', you could convert the PDF to RTF via an OCR engine such as Tesseract, and then use one of the many WYSIWG inline editors, and connect this to Nuxeo as an edit button using their extension framework.  There is an existing tesseract-ocr extension available at the Nuxeo source repo.

Ne-Yo Discusses the Fine Line Between Tech and Entertainment
by Selena Hill June 21, 2017 February 14, 2019 824
Decoding Tech: The Next Generation of S.T.E.A.M, presented by Google during American Black Film Festival in Miami Beach, Florida on June 15, 2017
In the wake of the backlash against Silicon Valley over the lack of diversity in the tech industry, several tech companies have made an effort to open doors to more people of color. For example, at this year's American Black Film Festival (ABFF), Google hosted a panel discussion titled Decoding Tech: The Next Generation of STEAM Professionals, which addressed the importance of technology as it pertains to entertainment and diversity as a whole.
Held at the Betsy Hotel in Miami, BLACK ENTERPRISE Editor-in-Chief Derek Dingle kicked off the panel with opening remarks. Then, Valeisha Butterfield-Jones, head of black community engagement at Google, introduced the panelists, which included Ne-Yo, a Grammy award-winning musician and tech investor; Mekka Okereke, an engineering manager at Google; Emmie Louis, a core team member from Black Girls Code; and Marcella Araica, an award-winning mixing engineer. The panel was moderated by Daraiha Greene, Google's multicultural strategy lead on CS education in media.
During the discussion, panelists addressed the integration of technology with arts and media, and how this combination has impacted their careers. They also spoke about what it means to be a person of color who works in the tech industry. Ne-Yo argued that part of the reason why there weren't more people of color working in the tech was due to a lack of knowledge regarding the prerequisites for hiring within this industry, as well as a general lack of awareness about what the industry has to offer overall. An investor in the Holberton School, Ne-Yo actively helps facilitate the education of underrepresented minority youth on tech fundamentals.
"Little boys from the hood don't say, 'When I grow up, I'm going to be a coder,'" he said during the panel, adding that though these children might be playing video games, they are not making them. "But, I'm trying to change that," he continued.

Okereke also revealed that he has experienced racial profiling in the tech industry, even while walking around the Google campus where he works. Additionally, Greene stressed the importance of spotlighting people of color in tech, and not just for the sake of modifying the current perception of the tech industry. If these achievements were highlighted on a more consistent basis, then these people could serve as positive role models for minority youth to look up to. This could, in turn, could encourage more children of color to explore tech as a plausible future career path.
In an interview following the discussion, Butterfield-Jones, an organizer of the panel, told BLACK ENTERPRISE why Google decided to sponsor this year's ABFF, stating that the purpose of the panel was to demonstrate "the range of opportunities for people of color in tech."
%CODE1%
"We wanted to demystify what it means to work in the tech industry. Whether someone aspires to be a music producer, or an engineer in the television and film industry; there is a space for you to do that in the tech world. If you think about the television and film industry, you guys are the gatekeepers to our community. So, if we want to change the face of tech, we have to consider strong media partnerships. ABFF is the destination to go, if you want to engage with talented filmmakers, television producers, executives, and writers," Butterfield-Jones said.
"I hope every attendee walked away [from this panel] with a better understanding of how they can work in the tech industry—not just as an employee, but also as an entrepreneur," she added.

Africa's energy transition gains traction as Siemens Gamesa introduces renewable energy in Djibouti

Energy access rates and reliability in Africa are the lowest in the world and electricity costs are among the highest. In line with its commitment to deliver cleaner, more reliable and affordable energy in Africa, Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (SGRE) has sealed a contract to build the first renewable energy installation in the Republic of Djibouti.
Despite high resource potential in Djibouti and opportunities for cross-border export, there are still 110,000 households in the country without access to power. With a capacity of 59 MW, this new wind farm will almost double the current installed power generation capacity in the country, all of which currently comes from fossil fuel sources.
The new installation, part of an expanding national renewable energy development programme, will enable clean energy supply, decrease the cost of electricity and allow the 940,000 population of Djibouti and its key industries to strengthen its electrical independence and economic development.
"Access to affordable energy is key to supporting long-term sustainability and economic growth. Industrialisation, agricultural improvement or even the expansion of municipal water systems depend on reliable and cost-effective energy access," explains Markus Tacke, CEO of Siemens Gamesa. "This project is another step in Siemens Gamesa's commitment to shaping a sustainable future for Africa."
The 17 SG 3.4-132 wind turbines will be installed near the Goubet cove in the Gulf of Tadjoura, on a 395-hectare site in Djibouti. The wind farm electricity interconnection solution, the civil works and 10 kilometres of internal road and tracks will be built as part of project. Siemens Gamesa will also provide maintenance to the wind farm, which is scheduled to be operational in mid-2021, for a minimum of 10 years, with the option to renew. The electricity generated will be sold by the consortium to Electricité de Djibouti, the national power generation company, for a period of 25 years.
The project is Siemens Gamesa's first in Africa with the leadership and participation of an African investor. A consortium of four entities are leading its development: Africa Finance Corporation, the Dutch development bank FMO, Climate Investor One (Dutch investment funds in green energy in Africa, Asia and Latin America) and local company Great Horn Investment Holdings SAS. The project is covered by MIGA, the World Bank's Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency.
"We believe that this project is the beginning of a new partnership and we will be relying on Siemens Gamesa's extensive experience in the region to deliver on the project within the stipulated timeframe," says Osaruyi Orobosa-Ogbeide, Vice President Project Development & Investments at the Africa Finance Corporation.

Frank O'Caña Tapped to Lead BCAP as Executive Director
Boulder County AIDS Project's (BCAP) Board of Directors is proud and excited to announce their selection of Frank O'Caña as the Agency's next Executive Director.
He succeeds Ana Hopperstad, who has been BCAP's Executive Director since 2008.
Frank is recognized as a leader in HIV Prevention in Colorado. He holds fourteen years of nonprofit management experience, and has served as BCAP's Prevention Director and a senior member of the BCAP Management Team for the past eight years.
During his tenure, Frank developed the agency's longstanding Community Outreach, HIV Testing, and Speakers Bureau programs, continually increasing outcomes throughout the Agency's service area. He helped lead expansion of the Agency's services, and associated funding mechanisms, to include Hepatitis C Testing and Education and Syringe Access.
Frank has worked hand-in-hand with retiring Executive Director, Ana Hopperstad. Ana shares, "I am confident Frank will continue BCAP's legacy of excellence. Frank is both well-known and well-respected in the Colorado HIV community. As BCAP's new leader, Frank will ensure BCAP continues as a well-respected partner among other service providers in our network."
Frank has been integral to the development of BCAP's current strategic plan and has actively participated in BCAP's fundraising activities over many years. He has been engaged in statewide, regional, and local community advisory groups that influence BCAP's work.
BCAP Board President Carolyn Powell says "We are deeply appreciative of the leadership provided by Ana Hopperstad over the last fourteen years. She will be missed and we wish her the very best in her retirement. We are confident in Frank's ability to guide BCAP's future as a natural progression for both himself and the Agency. We trust that BCAP is in excellent hands with Frank O'Caña."
This leadership appointment is effective on September 1, 2018.


The active ingredient in Perio Gel is hydrogen peroxide. It occurs naturally in the body and is also a powerful antimicrobial. Hydrogen peroxide penetrates the protective slime layer covering bacterial communities, and it can break down the cell walls of bacteria causing infections and oral wounds associated with gum diseases like gingivitis and periodontitis.
These infections and oral wounds are hard to see because they are hidden below the gum tissue. Getting medication under the gums and keeping it there long enough to work can be a challenge. Research shows that a customized prescription Perio Tray can deliver and maintain Perio Gel below the gum tissue long enough for the hydrogen peroxide to do its work.
The Perio Tray is specifically designed to place medication in the periodontal pocket, the space between tooth and gum tissues that harbors infections. The Perio Tray is truly unique, fabricated with a seal system customized for each tooth according to patient conditions. The seal prevents leakage and directs the medication in the pocket.
A common side effect of Perio Gel usage in prescription trays is gradual tooth whitening. Patients who have anterior restorations (for example crowns in front teeth) should talk with their doctors/dentists. The 1.7% concentration of hydrogen peroxide in Perio Gel is much lower than professional whitening products, so whitening effects will not be immediately noticed, but with consistent usage gives you a whiter, brighter smile.
With any treatment for home use, it is important to follow the schedule prescribed by your doctor/dentist. Periodontal disease is never cured. Bacterial communities underlying the disease can begin to reform within days. The most advanced stage of bacterial growth involves clumps of bacteria detaching from the original community to form new infections.
Most people don't even know they have a problem because the infections are hidden from view. Left unchecked, gum disease can lead to bad breath, bleeding gums, and tooth loss.
Professional dental cleanings are important to remove bacterial communities causing the disease, but additional care is often recommended to help manage bacterial regrowth. Research shows that when professional cleanings are combined with Perio Tray delivery of Perio Gel, the results are significantly better.
Once you have the disease under control, it is important to continue with maintenance treatment as prescribed by your doctor/dentist. Keeping oral bacteria in check can protect you from the disease recurrence.
Store Perio Gel away from sunlight at room temperature (do not freeze or refrigerate). For better control dispensing the gel, snip the end tip of the tube.
Infections in gum tissue may provide a doorway for bacteria to enter the body and contribute to other health concerns, so it is especially important to take gum disease seriously.
With treatment and a good maintenance program, most patients are able to prevent additional tissue damage. Bacterial communities regenerate quickly in the mouth. Keeping oral bacteria under control is key to helping prevent disease recurrence. Be sure to talk to your doctor/dentist about any concerns you have.

Conley, the founder of Joie de Vivre hotel chain, talks to us about how the near-death of his business changed his outlook on leadership, why managers put too much emphasis on money and not enough on meaning, and why it's more important to climb the employee pyramid than the corporate ladder.
Chip Conley has a blind spot: The closer you work to him, the less likely he is to recognize your efforts. So Conley, the founder of Joie de Vivre hotel chain, deliberately designed structures to instill a culture of recognition in his company. Conley is the author of three books, most recently Peak: How Great Companies Get Their Mojo from Maslow. In this Q&A, Conley talks about how the near-death of his business changed his outlook on leadership, why managers put too much emphasis on money and not enough on meaning, and why it's more important to climb the employee pyramid than the corporate ladder.
Kermit Pattison: Let's go back to the dark days of 2001. You had all your hotels in the Bay Area and when tourism tanked after 9/11; you joked you were most vulnerable hotelier in the USA. How did that shape your philosophy about business leadership?
Chip Conley: No doubt, when you're most on trial you are forced to be your most ingenious. Between the dotcom bust, 9/11, the wars, and the recession, I could see our company was on the verge of going out of business. I ended up in a local bookstore looking for a business book to help me get through it. I quickly ended up in the self-help section. That's how I got reacquainted with the work of Abraham Maslow, a famous American psychologist from the mid 20th century.
Maslow looked at psychology not from the model of deficiency, which is what most psychologists look at, but from a best practices model: What if we study people who are fulfilled and what he called self-actualized? I liked that as a business guy so I started using Maslow's hierarchy of needs pyramid for a model of how we connect to the higher needs of our employees, our customers and our investors.
How did that make you rethink how you manage people?
In a recession, we all get fearful. The most contagious emotion in most companies is fear. Most companies do such a poor job communicating that most employees get stuck in a place of survival and don't have a lot of room for creativity, innovation, or ingenuity. We took the Maslow pyramid and turned it into an employee pyramid with three basic themes: survival the base, succeed at the middle, and transformation at the top. Applying that to employees, it's money, recognition, and meaning.
Do companies often misjudge employees by assuming that compensation is their primary aspiration?
Every survey that's been done in the U.S. tends to show money is not the primary, secondary, or third; It's fourth place on why people leave their jobs. The primary motivator of disgruntlement at work is the feeling of not being recognized. People join a company and they leave their boss, as Marcus Buckingham said. The bottom line is the ultimate motivator that says "I gotta to out of here" is not that you're underpaid, it's that you feel under-respected or under-recognized. There's a lot of research that shows that. Unfortunately, the practice of management tends to not take account of that.
How did you nurture a culture of recognition in your company?
The closer you are to me in our organization, the more senior you are, the less I give recognition. I give recognition readily and heartily to people at line levels in my company, but when you're senior level, I treat you like I treat myself. Those of us in senior levels in the company have a history of treating ourselves like machines. We used to have a weekly executive committee meeting. Back in 2002, frankly those meetings were depressing. We were in an industry that was falling apart. We were in a hard-hit region of the country. We'd spend two hours talking about troubles. We decided to change the meeting so the last 10 minutes we focused on recognition. I said, "I want you folks to show up with examples of someone out in the field who deserves some recognition and why." Over time, almost everybody raised their hands with a good example.
There were three things that came out of this. Number one, we ended our meetings on a positive note. It helped each of us senior executives feel like, as much as we're in trouble, there's a lot of good things happening too. There's a lot of crap that builds up in an organization when things are tough and you create great psycho hygiene by cleaning all the crap out of the way. Number two, we were creating an environment of recognition throughout the organization. If you create that sort of positive feeling, all of a sudden you find that some of your employees start recognizing each other more. Thirdly, one of the rules was the person who gives recognition needs to be from a different department than the person being recognized. It helped create some cross fertilization between departments.
How did you help employees find inspiration and meaning?
As you go higher up the pyramid, the more abstract it gets. If you go to bed tonight and ask yourself, "Was I self actualized today?" it's a much harder question to answer. That's why, generally speaking, managers tend to manage from the bottom of the pyramid. Compensation is easy to benchmark and measure, whereas measuring meaning is about as difficult as it gets.
We started asking questions in our twice annual work climate surveys and measuring things at the top of the pyramid that could give us a sense of how to benchmark ourselves over time on this question of inspiration and meaning. Then we started doing exercises with employees to help connect them to meaning.
Most companies do offsite retreats with managers. We do that with our line level employees. We'll take the housekeepers, the front desk staff, the bellmen, and managers offsite for the day, which is a great way to make employees feel engaged and have a voice. Additionally, every couple of years we do an offsite retreat with all our housekeepers. In one exercise, we got groups of eight housekeepers at a table and asked an abstract question: if someone from Mars came down and saw what you were doing as a housekeeper in a hotel, what name would they call you? They came up with "The Serenity Sisters," "The Clutter Busters," and "The Peace of Mind Police." There was a sense that people were doing more than just cleaning a room. They were creating a space for a traveler who was far away from home to feel safe and protected.
So instead of just cleaning a bathroom or vacuuming, they thought of their jobs as caring for people, which is more likely to be inspirational?
That's right. At the end of the day, all this is all about making human connection. We could have a robot some in and clean your room, but it's not going to be the same experience as someone who smiles at you when you walk down the hallway and knows a little bit about you.
How do you increase the odds of employees having what you call peak experiences?
If you hire the right people, it's a lot easier. We actually evaluate our managers on a combination of both results and relationships. Relationships are an intangible that sometimes get lost in the process of evaluating the effectiveness of a manager. You look at manager say, "Hey great P&L or great cash flow statement," but if the way they got that was to fire half their staff, piss off customers, or charge them so much, that's not a sustainable business strategy. Generally speaking, sometimes being able to measure relationships with customers, employees, or vendors is better way to get a sense of the long term sustainability of the effectiveness of a manager or leader.
Your company had to codify new ways of managing employees. When changing habits, how mindful or disciplined does a company have to be?
Everything we're talking about is common sense. People will nod their heads and say that's great. The problem is we just don't do it. How do you create the rituals or habits that actually ensure that it gets done? Every corporation has an operating manual. There are a lot of things that are expected but we did almost nothing as a company that actually codified recognition beyond the formalized kinds of things you do in many companies–employee of the month or the annual holiday party when we'd give away a bunch of rewards. That's fine, but at the end of the day that's expected by employees and people almost turn off to it because it seems so regimented and formulaic. What really is meaningful to people is genuine appreciation shown in real time. My basic belief is that life and business is all about where you pay your attention. Let's pay some attention in our management and leadership to the idea of recognition. It's not just platitude. It's something we expect, and here are the tools you have to do it.
You're very mindful in your approach to your business. To what extent have you tried to be a student of yourselves?
Peter Drucker lived to age 94 partially because he had a very fresh and curious mind. Every year he would come up with something new to learn, whether it was Japanese Ikebana or Revolutionary War history. I like to consider that same perspective on our company and its philosophy of management and leadership. How do we study other companies, use their best practices and apply it to ourselves? How do we do our own deep dive, psychologically and sociologically within our organization, to understand why we exist and how we're tapping into the hearts and minds of people within our organization? It does require a certain amount of reflecting. Sometimes this stuff doesn't make you feel good. And sometimes there will be people in your organization, or investors in hotels we manage, who say, "Just get over it." The knock on this is that it's just too soft. My response is, it depends on your industry. If you're in service, you're in a soft industry. The reason people succeed in service has everything to do with the soft side of management.
You made your business building idiosyncratic hotels with distinct personalities. If Abe Maslow came back from the dead and was your guest, where would you put him up?
God, I'm lucky enough to have the journals of the last 10 years of his life. I'd probably put his journals by his bed and say, "Hey you want to read what you wrote the last 10 years of your life?" Maybe an altar with his books.
Which of the hotels? Probably the Hotel Vitale. The name came from the Latin word "to be vital" and live your life vitally. That's what Abe Maslow really spoke to. How does each of us live life to the fullest?

You were given life; it is your duty…to find something beautiful within life, no matter how slight.
To be fully seen by somebody, and then loved anyhow – that is a human offering that can border on miraculous.
Being content with what you have already is an art form that leads to a peace that can't be replaced by anything else.
Any talent that you have but do not use becomes a burden and a sorrow.
Tis' better to live your own life imperfectly than to imitate someone else's perfectly.

Canada has two official languages - English and French - but there are numerous native tongues as well. Tensions between the two main groups play a prominent part in the politics of Canada, but the native languages are more or less ignored except in the country's most remote areas, particularly in the Northwest Territories and Nunavut, where Inuktitut, the language of the Inuit, is spoken widely.
In a brief glossary such as this there is no space to get to grips with the complexities of aboriginal languages, and very few travellers would have any need of them anyway - most natives (including those in Québec) have a good knowledge of English, especially if they deal with tourists in any capacity. If you plan to be spending much time in French-speaking Canada, consider investing in the Rough Guide to French (Penguin), a pocket-guide in a handy A-Z format.
The Québécois are extremely sympathetic when visiting English-speakers make the effort to speak French - and most are much more forthcoming with their knowledge of English when talking to a Briton or American than to a Canadian. Similarly easy-going is the attitude towards the formal vous (you), which is used less often in Québec - you may even be corrected when saying S'il vous plaît with the suggestion that S'il te plaît is more appropriate. Another popular phrase that you are likely to come across is pas de tout ("not at all") which in Québec is pronounced pan toot , completely different from the French pa du too . The same goes for c'est tout? ("is that all?" pronounced say toot ), which you're likely to hear when buying something in a shop.
About the verbs, the best way to know the differences between English and French is using a professional verb conjugation tool. There are many useful tools to conjugate all verb tenses. With pronunciation there's little point trying to mimic the local dialect - generally, just stick to the classic French rules. Consonants at the ends of words are usually silent and at other times are much as in English, except that ch is always sh, ç is s, h is silent, th is the same as t, ll is like the y in yes and r is growled.

Q: java, when i use doublebuffering, painted image is expanded when i use doublebuffering, painted image is expanded with white background.
Is there something wrong?
enter code here
private Image image_buffer;
private Graphics graphics_buffer

public void paint(Graphics g) {
    super.paint(g);
    buffering(img1, x1, 40, g);
}

public void buffering(Image img, int x, int y, Graphics g){
    image_buffer = createImage(100,100);
    graphics_buffer = image_buffer.getGraphics();
    buffer.drawImage(img, x, y, this);
    g.drawImage(image_buffer, x, y, this);
}

A: Why not replace your code with just:-
public void paint(Graphics g) {
    super.paint(g);
    g.drawImage(img1, x1, 40, this);
}

The reason you have a white background is because you're creating a 100x100 "canvas", and drawing on that.

In this paper we describe some dynamical properties of a Morse decomposition with a countable number of sets. In particular, we are able to prove that the gradient dynamics on Morse sets together with a separation assumption is equivalent to the existence of an ordered Lyapunov function associated to the Morse sets and also to the existence of a Morse decomposition -that is, the global attractor can be described as an increasing family of local attractors and their associated repellers.
Keywords: Morse decomposition, infinite components, gradient dynamics, gradient-like semigroup., Lyapunov function.

January marks 58% of the way through the fiscal year.
As of January, Troon's revenues (Golf plus Food and Beverage) were 53.6% of forecasted for the fiscal year. Troon operating expenditures were 60.5% of forecasted.
• Budgeted for $3.3 million in revenues. Actual revenues were only $1.8 million.
• Budgeted for $5.2 million in expenditures. Actual expenses $3.1 million.
• July 2015 through January 2016: Troon lost $1.8 million.
• July 2016 through January 2017: Troon lost $1.6 million.
• July 2017 through January 2018: Troon lost $1.1 million.
The first 7 months of this fiscal year are looking better than previous, but they're still losing money. The Council will tell you that this is a good trend and I guess you could look it that way if it wasn't YOUR money.
The Overlook Restaurant continues its losing tradition. It lost $16,648 in January and has lost $82,430 so far this fiscal year. This averages to over $11,000 per month.
The amount of rounds played in January 2018 was 5,269. This averages to 170 rounds/day on 45 holes of golf. For some comparison, surrounding courses in January averaged over 190 rounds/day on 18 holes of golf.
There were 2,913 rounds played by golf members (the one's whose golf games the taxpayers are subsidizing). Outside play was only 1,839 rounds (or an average of 59 rounds a day). Also of note is that there were 517 complimentary rounds.
Do YOU like paying for golf members to enjoy reduced membership rates? Do YOU like paying for other people to enjoy FREE GOLF? I challenge anybody to tell me of another Town anywhere in the world whose residents are kind enough to subsidize a private golf club for other residents. Why are certain residents treated like royalty?
In January 2016, there were 257 members of the Golf Association. In January 2018, the membership has dropped to 249. Remember when Troon was hoping for 318 members by December 2015? I've asked this before and I'll ask it again… Why do we still cater to the members when their support of the investment is dwindling?
Go strictly municipal with only 18 holes of golf and no memberships. If this doesn't work, then eliminate golf altogether and create a linear park for everyone to enjoy. Make Oro Valley a Community of Excellence with 340+ acres of linear trails. Trails that can be utilized and enjoyed by ALL residents.
The dedicated sales tax revenues through January 2018 were $1,313,971 and the Town still lost $75,729. Again, if we minimize the golf drain, the sales tax will then cover the expenses.
The Town's portion of the Community Center (Fitness Center, Swimming, Recreation Programs) was budgeted for $777,580 in revenues but brought in only $515,665. This included an expectation of $23,000 in daily drop-in fees vs. an actual of $17,520. It also included an expectation of $614,000 in member dues vs. an actual of $422,920.
Operating expenditures were budgeted for $1,030,406 but the actuals were less at $591,394. This is only because they have not spent what they promised on capital improvements and the facility is still not ADA compliant after nearly three years of ownership.

It also uses a continuing education as new prescribed drugs are introduced often and a few are even recalled. Today's careers for graduates having a degree in pharmacy are quite different than the previous time druggist who not simply whipped up cough medicine inside back room but in addition could make a fancy frozen goodies treat at the counter. Something else to consider as a pharmacy technician could be the hours you desire to work. Leading pharmacies are licensed and certified so you get less expensive costs, privacy, medical information and convenience when you shop. It is another good idea eighteen, you are national, school, corporate, online, and local scholarships. using the complex equations used, it became faster to acquire results, thus leading. Don't feel that you have no use of fresh medicinal herbs. Nonetheless, this is often a cheaper option than many other online pharmacy technician schools and may be suited to those on a tight budget. We were going to the big city to see a doctor, so it made sense. Factors staying taught in educational facilities regularly variations, that's a fact. Most drugs need to get stored at exact temperatures, so one with the things pharmacists learn in pharmaceutical quality training may be the necessary steps to help keep the facilities clean and in compliance with regulations. Many pharmacies have automated calls that will call you on your own phone and leave a message when your order is ready. If the condition is not treated with an extended time period, it might lead to serious complications including cancer. On one other hand, the cost from the medicine of online pharmacy will be low because there is no such ad of them that the other has.

What is ads-b and how we can help
Starting January 1, 2020, you must be equipped with ADS-B Out to fly in most controlled airspace
An ADS-B Out transmitter alone will not be sufficient to meet the requirements outlined in 14 CFR 91.227. To comply with the requirements for the ADS-B Rule, the aircraft must be equipped with a Version 2 ADS-B Out transmitter and a compatible GPS Position Source. There are two ADS-B avionics systems available:
Mode S transponder-based (1090 MHz) ADS-B equipment must meet the performance requirements of Technical Standard Order TSO-C166b. For aircraft operating above FL180 (18,000 feet) or internationally, you must be equipped with a Mode S-transponder-based ADS-B transmitter. For aircraft operating below 18,000 feet and within U.S. airspace, you must be equipped with either a Mode S transponder with Extended Squitter or
Universal Access Transceiver (UAT) equipment must meet the performance requirements of TSO-C154c. UAT equipment provides the ability to receive traffic and weather data provided by the FAA ADS-B network.
The FAA recommends a WAAS GPS that is compliant with TSO-C145 or TSO-C146. These units are readily available for general aviation and provide sufficient performance to meet the 14 CFR 91.227 requirements. Avionics vendors offer stand-alone GPS receivers and package them with ADS-B transmitters or with GPS Navigators. Mixing and matching GPS systems with ADS-B transmitters in the field is not permitted unless the equipment pairing was shown to be compatible via a previous certification effort with the FAA (for example, an STC). Be sure to contact your manufacturer if you are unsure which GPS systems are approved for your ADS-B transmitter.
The Installation Approval for ADS-B OUT Systems memo explains the FAA's policy regarding installation of ADS-B Out systems into civil aircraft.
With ADS-B operational across the country, pilots in equipped aircraft now have access to services that provide a new level of safety and efficiency.
Operators equipped with ADS-B Out will enjoy more efficient spacing and optimal routing in non-radar environments, including the busy airspace in the Gulf of Mexico, mountainous regions of Colorado and the lower altitudes of Alaska.
Aircraft equipped with ADS-B out will enhance the Air Traffic Controller's awareness of aircraft in the airspace. Radars used today can take anywhere from 5 to 12 seconds to update an aircraft's position. ADS-B equipment provides air traffic control (ATC) with updated aircraft information almost every second. This enables controllers to identify and resolve potentially hazardous situations quickly and effectively. Because of the FAA's requirements for ADS-B service, in many areas of the United States, coverage exists at lower altitudes than current ATC radars.
Improved Safety
ADS-B In-equipped aircraft have access to Flight Information Service–Broadcast (FIS-B), which broadcasts graphical weather to the cockpit as well as text-based advisories, including Notices to Airmen and significant weather activity. These are available only with a Universal Access Transceiver (UAT).
ADS-B In also gives pilots access to Traffic Information Service–Broadcast (TIS-B), which provides altitude, ground track, speed and distance of aircraft flying in radar contact with controllers, and within a 15-nautical mile radius, up to 3,500 feet above or below the receiving aircraft's position. All of this greatly enhances pilot safety.
Pilots of ADS-B In-equipped aircraft can see the location of surrounding aircraft and graphic weather on their cockpit displays. It's a similar view to what air traffic controller see, creating an environment of shared situational awareness and crucial see-and-avoid capability. ADS-B Out information can be broadcast on two frequencies, 1090 MHz and 978 MHz. Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Rebroadcast (ADS-R) rebroadcasts data from one frequency to the other, providing aircraft operating on both ADS-B links the ability to see each other on their traffic displays.
ADS-B In also transmits notices of important flight information, such as temporary flight restrictions or closed runways. And ADS-B In can help pilots avoid terrain in low-visibility situations since terrain maps can be easily added to cockpit displays.
These ADS-B pilot advisory services are provided at no cost to the user.
The highly precise GPS-based surveillance provided by ADS-B also improves the ability to perform life-saving search and rescue missions. Air traffic controllers tracking aircraft with ADS-B Out have more accurate information about last reported positions, helping to take the "search" out of search and rescue. ADS-B Out avionics transmit data approximately once every second, and therefore enables more precise tracking of aircraft compared with the current radar sweep rates of 3-15 seconds. The smaller footprint of ADS-B ground radios enables their placement in areas where a radar site would be unfeasible, such as mountainous terrain. Air traffic controllers have better information about an airplane's last position, thereby reducing the critical window of time involved in a search and rescue operation.
ADS-B In & Out
ADS-B stands for Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Broadcast:
Automatic because it periodically transmits information with no pilot or operator involvement required.
Dependent because the position and velocity vectors are derived from the Global Positioning System (GPS) or other suitable Navigation Systems (i.e., FMS).
Surveillance because it provides a method of determining 3 dimensional position and identification of aircraft, vehicles, or other assets.
Broadcast because it transmits the information available to anyone with the appropriate receiving equipment.
ADS-B replaces radar technology with satellites, bringing major advantages. Radar relies on radio signals and antennas to determine an aircraft's location. ADS-B uses satellite signals to track aircraft movements.
ADS-B Out works by broadcasting information about an aircraft's GPS location, altitude, ground speed and other data to ground stations and other aircraft, once per second. Air traffic controllers and aircraft equipped with ADS-B In can immediately receive this information. This offers more precise tracking of aircraft compared to radar technology, which sweeps for position information every 5 to 12 seconds.
Radio waves are limited to line of site meaning radar signals cannot travel long distances or penetrate mountains and other solid objects. ADS-B ground stations are smaller and more adaptable than radar towers and can be placed in locations not possible with radar. With ground stations in place throughout the country, even in hard to reach areas, ADS-B provides better visibility regardless of the terrain or other obstacles.
Aircraft operating in most controlled U.S. airspace must be equipped with ADS-BOut by January 1, 2020.
ADS-B In
ADS-B In provides operators of properly equipped aircraft with weather and traffic position information delivered directly to the cockpit. ADS-B In-equipped aircraft have access to the graphical weather displays in the cockpit as well as text-based advisories, including Notices to Airmen and significant weather activity.
The FAA provides three forms of ADS-B In Services (Ref. AIM Chapter 4, Section 5(PDF)).
Traffic Information Services – Broadcast (TIS-B)
TIS-B is a client-based service that provides ADS-B Out/In equipped aircraft with surveillance information about aircraft that are not ADS-B equipped. To qualify as a TIS-B target, an aircraft must be equipped with a transponder, and be within radar coverage.
Automatic Dependent Surveillance ‐ Rebroadcast (ADS-R)
ADS-R is a client-based service that relays ADS-B information transmitted by an aircraft broadcasting on one link to aircraft equipped with ADS-B In on the other link. For example, the information for an aircraft equipped with a 1090MHz ADS-BOut system will be re-broadcasted to an aircraft equipped with ADS-B In on the UAT(i.e. 978MHz) frequency, and vice versa.
Flight Information Services – Broadcast (FIS-B)
FIS-B provides the meteorological and aeronautical data to the cockpit. This service is not a client-based service, but rather is always broadcast into the airspace on the UAT frequency. This information is not broadcast on the 1090MHz frequency.
Some of the currently available FIS-B products are:
Airmen's Meteorological Information (AIRMET)
Significant Meteorological Information (SIGMET)
Convective SIGMET
CONUS NEXRAD
Regional NEXTRAD
Special Use Airspace (SUA) Status
Terminal Aerodrome Forecast (TAF)

PROGRAM OVERVIEW:
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States, and its prevalence has been increasing. The disease is characterized by progressive failure of pancreatic β-cell function, leading to increasing difficulty in maintaining glycemic control. Even with multiple oral antidiabetic drugs, many patients need insulin therapy to achieve and maintain glycated hemoglobin (A1C) targets.
Early initiation of insulin therapy can reduce morbidity in patients with T2D, but in practice, insulin therapy is underused. Using video clips taken from a live studio broadcast presented as part of Emerging Challenges in Primary Care 2018, this activity will identify the barriers of clinicians and patients for early initiation of insulin therapy, the current available basal and ultrabasal insulins, and how to develop strategies for initiation and intensification of therapies and improve patient adherence.
