Wall temperatures are a necessary part of the design conditions for pressure vessels. Thermal analysis by numerical simulation is widely used to compute the wall temperatures and thermal stresses of the pressure vessels, and insulation layers outside the pressure vessels are normally included in numerical models to predict more accurate results. However, modeling and meshing the insulation layers introduces more work to designers and more cost to enterprises. In this paper, a simplified calculation method for the wall temperatures of the pressure vessels with insulating layers is presented. An equivalent convective heat transfer coefficient between the outside walls of the pressure vessels and circumstances is derived by theoretical analysis, which takes into account the thermal resistances of the insulation layers and the convective heat transfer coefficient between them and the circumstances, then it can be used in numerical models of the pressure vessels without the insulation layers to compute the wall temperatures. Results of comparative analysis show that the wall temperatures of the pressure vessels by the simplified calculation method agree very well with those using the numerical simulation with the insulation layer models.

Carsten Höller: "Decision" is the artist's largest survey show in the UK to date. Immersing visitors in a series of experimental environments, Höller's interactive exhibition explores perception and decision making. To enter the exhibition visitors must choose between two different entrances, behind which lie separate routes through the first gallery. Once inside the exhibition, visitors encounter a range of situations – including the invitation to consume a pill, contents unknown – that ask them to reflect on the process of decision making.
In an unusual move for an exhibition, the show also features Two Roaming Beds (Grey), a piece composed of – you guessed it – two beds which automatically roam the galleries. For £300 a night, these beds can be booked for an exclusive stay in the gallery, with full access to the artworks overnight.

Carsten Höller was born in 1961 in Brussels, Belgium. He studied agricultural entomology at the University of Kiel where he received his doctorate in 1988. By the 1990s, he began to make artworks and eventually abandoned science as profession to pursue a career as an artist. His work was the subject of solo exhibitions at a number of international institutions including the Moderna Museet in Sweden (1999); Fondazione Prada in Milan (2000); MASS MoCA (2006); Kunsthaus Bregenz in Austria (2008), and the Hamburger Bahnhof in Berlin (2010). This autumn, the New Museum will present the first New York survey exhibition of his projects. Höller lives and works in Stockholm, Sweden.

The Cove hotel joining Disney's Swan and Dolphin in 2020
John Gregory
Construction has begun on the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort's new tower hotel, which now has a name: The Cove.
The new hotel will be owned by New York-based real estate firm Tishman and MetLife Investment Management and operated by Marriott International, just like the Swan and Dolphin.
"This is another significant phase for the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort," said Fred Sawyers, the resort's general manager for the resort. "We're excited about the resort's continued evolution and the new experience it will provide for our guests."
Rendering of The Cove's pool area (Disney's Swan and Dolphin)
First announced by Tishman in September, the 14-story hotel will be on the current site of the resort's tennis courts, adding 198 traditional rooms and 151 suites with separate living and working spaces. Guests staying in suites will have access to a conference table and a built-in audio and video system.
The Cove will be designed to cater to events and large groups. The plans include 21,000 square foot of meeting space on three floors, adding to the Swan and Dolphin's existing 331,000 square feet available to conventions and corporate clients. A new rooftop venue, available for weddings and group events, will offer views of the nightly fireworks at Epcot and Disney's Hollywood Studios.
Both parks will be within walking distance of the new hotel. Guests can also make use of the Friendship Boats that run between Epcot and Disney's Hollywood Studios with stops at the Boardwalk, Yacht Club and Beach Club resorts.
Beyond convention space, the hotel will feature a 90-seat restaurant, 50-seat lounge, grab-and-go-market and an "upscale craft cocktail bar" in the lobby.
The Cove is set to open in 2020 (Disney's Swan and Dolphin)
"This expansion is an exciting continuation of our commitment to delivering a best-in-class experience for all resort guests, and is consistent with our recent enhancement of the Dolphin lobbies and resort guest rooms," said Daniel Tishman, principal and vice chairman of the Tishman firm.
Expected to open in 2020, The Cove's 349 rooms will give the property more than 2,600 rooms total. If the Swan, Dolphin and Cove are considered one resort, it would be the third largest hotel on Disney property behind the Disney-owned Port Orleans and Pop Century.
Filling the rooms shouldn't be an issue, as Sawyers predicted to WFTV that Orlando's final 2018 tourism numbers would hit 75 million visitors, setting another record.
"Demand has really been off the charts," Sawyers said. "We're going to do about 5 percent more in occupancy this year than we've ever done before."

Dummy Never Fails is a new physics based puzzle/ragdoll game created by Israel Alvarez Carrion and Xavier Heras Division, the Tanoku team. The goal of the game is to throw dummies to the target without causing too much pain. There are a total of 52 levels which took about 10-15 minutes to complete. The difficulty is a bit low. It makes the game boring after playing a while. If you are a puzzle lover, you may find the game lame, but if you also like ragdoll games it is a good game for your spare time. Good luck & have fun!
This is a walkthrough to show how to get the items to unlock skins.
Im stuck on level number 51.So help pls!!
Just try and arc the dummy through trey, if you keep making slight adjustments every time it will work eventually.
i have finished but i need help getin skins anyone help?
Complete the game but I do not get just a skin, you could tell me how to get the underneath of the Soldier?
throw a dummy through the first hole(before the thruster) it will fly up in the other hole. then throw another dummy for the thruster.
How do you beat level 48? it's impossible!
the game is soo easy. jsut had a liddle prob on hte last lvl. like a damn rainbow -,-. but how do i save mazes or puzzles w/e u wood call it.
I'm stuck on level 48! I keep hitting the ball, I can't get to the target before it drops!! Please help me. Help the needy.

STAKES TARGETS BECKONS FOR PROMISING CONTRIBUTER FILLY
Maria Farina (NZ) (Contributer) kept her unbeaten record intact at Ellerslie on Sunday in the Blue Bubble Taxis 1200 and now a Group Three target beckons the promising filly later this month.
The Darryn Weatherley-trained three-year-old settled to the rear of the field for Weatherley's jockey son Sam. The pair were last turning for home, however, Weatherley was able to navigate his charge through a gap that presented itself at the 200m mark and Maria Farina showed an explosive turn of foot and dashed away to a three-quarters of a length victory over Cadeau (NZ) (Zacinto), with a further short neck back to Group Three performer Explosively (NZ) (Sweynesse) in third.
Darryn Weatherley, who also co-owns and bred the horse, admitted he got a bit animated in the stands when his filly started to open up down the Ellerslie straight.
"We have watched the replay about 943 times, and she seems to be improving each time we watch it," he quipped.
"After a couple hundred metres I thought she might be outpaced, but Sam rode her really well. He drew a sticky gate (5) and went back to the tail of the field, although there were only seven in it, got on the rail and then she came up underneath them before the turn and I thought we might run fourth, but when she burst between a couple halfway up the straight I got out of my seat and started yelling and screaming.
"We weren't expecting her to win like that, but we weren't surprised either. We have had a lot of time for her.
"She has just got something about her. I have ridden a few over the years and she has got a bit of an x-factor there."
Weatherley said he also has a lot of time for her year older half-sister, La Velocita, who won at Rotorua last month, and he said he has to thank Barry Wright for persuading him to breed from their dam, La Vitesse.
"We have had a good association with Barry Wright," Weatherley said. "He has pushed us along and he has wanted to breed from the mare, La Vitesse (NZ) (Darci Brahma). At times we were like 'we can't breed anymore horses', but I am glad he made us.
"The older half-sister won a couple of starts ago and was unlucky at Ellerslie in the $50,000 rating 65. The mare has proved she is throwing good stock at the moment."
With the win on Sunday, Maria Farina continued her unbeaten streak, which includes two trial and raceday starts, and now Weatherley is eyeing a return to Ellerslie on January 23 to contest the Gr.3 Cambridge Stud Almanzor Trophy (1200m).
"We haven't looked too far into the future, but her next run will be on Karaka Million night in the Almanzor Trophy," he said.
"She might meet a few stronger ones, but a few that she beat on Sunday will be heading to the same race, so I don't think she is out of it."
On Sunday, Weatherley also celebrated a winning double when stablemate Capistrano Rocs (NZ) (Roc de Cambes) took out the Monstavision 1600. "That was Capistrano Rocs' fifth start yesterday and she hasn't failed to pay a dividend, so she is promising enough," Weatherley said.

Our project instituted morning meeting at the sixth grade. We will share results of our pre- and post-surveys along with projects that students created to promote social and emotional development. We will also share our own reflections about the impact of these activities on our students.
Blending technology, student choice, and self-paced learning to create a more student centered learning experience, this project is my first attempt at a self-paced classroom. I will report on the successes and challenges of flipping the classroom to a self-paced model.
I have adapted the Power Teaching Model from Chris Biffle into my classroom. I have a student numerous students with rather unique learning profiles this year. Due to the diversity of my classes, I wanted to find something that was engaging, motivating, manageable and worked for everyone. I will report on how well this strategy is working so far.
This academic year the Winooski School District, in correlation with the Partnership for Change is dedicated to creating an atmosphere of student-centered learning, innovation and technological integration within the school day. Team Journey (encompassing approximately half of the middle school student body) is underway with a unique focus to change the way learning happens. Afternoons are no longer dedicated to the same traditional style classroom structures: teacher-designed curriculum have been replaced with student inquiry and personalized student designed content. We will report on how students decide where their interests lie and ways the seek answers to complex problems that connect to their own personal passions.
This year we replaced Exploratory block with ME Block (Mastery/Enrichment). Within ME block, students can personalize their learning experience and document their learning using electronic portfolios. We've worked closely with our Personalized Learning department to adapt their materials for the MS learner.
For the 2014-2015 school year we are piloting a new Learning Management System (LMS), Canvas, within the Burlington School District Middle Schools. Within the two district middle schools, Hunt and Edmunds, there are two distinct pilots. Both schools are piloting with a 7th/8th grade team. Edmunds is also piloting with two 6th grade teams. Through this LMS we are looking at how Canvas in a 1:1 program leads to better communication between teachers, students and parents.
I will share the math website that I created for parents and students at Hunt Middle School. There is a blog, curriculum pages, an algebra readiness page, and a page with links to math based websites.
The middle school students experienced the scientific method by selecting a problem or question that they would like to investigate. The students then designed and executed an experiment to answer this question. We invited scientists from our community (science teachers from St. Johnsbury Academy and Fairbanks Museum and Planetarium) to come and judge the fair. I will share the process of allowing students to design a peer review science fair and discuss how student engagement changed when they were involved in the planning of the fair.
The new teaming structure at Winooski Middle School has provided us with the flexibility to design a "shared classroom" to meet students' needs and interests. Middle School teachers for math, science, language arts and English as a second language will share our co-teaching strategies and practices implemented this fall and will discuss implications for our future teaching.
Team Summit has had success implementing a sustainability curriculum, called the Green Team, as well as a Personal Learning Plan pilot project. This action research project looked at the ease and barriers of implementing these two initiatives school-wide.
This year we began to create ways in and out of the classroom to foster student empowerment in the first year of their portfolio process. We built community through a series of activities like toss the chicken and our Hosmer Point trip. Through community building activities and setting of norms, we hope to develop more empowered students in the portfolio process.
Personalized learning requires increasing students' capacity for self-directed learning and problem solving. This presentation explores a proven project-based learning model that is: 1) rich in multi-disciplinary content, 2) documented and readily accessible, and 3) consistently sparks the interest of middle school students.
During this action research project, 7th and 8th grade students used Google Documents to read nonfiction articles about topics related to their learning in science class. They also employed close reading strategies and class discussions, and then were asked to answer text-dependent questions about the articles.
After years of an unstructured independent reading program, 7th and 8th grade teachers at Hunt Middle School revamped the program to mirror strategies from Penny Kittell's Book Love. Students now read daily in class and are held accountable for the number of pages read, resulting in increased performance and greater pleasure in reading.
We restructured the self-selected reading component of our reading block to retain student choice. In alignment with the Common Core literacy standards for 5th grade, we seek to build a program that will include informational text, fiction, plays and poetry. We will share individual reading goals, reflections and evidence shown in student personalized learning plans.
I have revamped the trimester-long curriculum for my 6th grade Chinese language exploratory classes around the guiding principles of Student Voice and Student Choice in an effort to help students make more informed decisions about their choice of which language to study long-term at the end of their 6th grade year.
2. Using Mindful Awareness to Help Students Respond to the World Reflectively, Not Reflexively.
This year, I have focused teacher-based guidance on a range of mindfulness strategies which students apply in various situations: transitioning in and out of a lesson, listening attentively to a partner, or settling our minds before a test. I will provide examples of lessons, describe how my students have responded to mindfulness and how and to what extent they feel it has helped them gain more control of their emotional and cognitive energy.
We have developed a portfolio process for 5th through 8th grader students. The portfolio reflects the student's personal learning plan. Teams from each grade level will show sample student portfolios and outline the process used with students.
How will teaching students about neural pathways, brain development, the power of mistakes and the growth mindset affect student math achievement and their perceptions about what makes someone smart? This presentation will share some of the findings from this semester's work on growth mindset in a mathematics classroom.
During this fall semester my goal was to identify text complexity and to define specific close reading strategies to use in the classroom. In this presentation I report on how to help students comprehend complex levels of texts and strengthen their use of evidence in academic conversation and academic writing.
How does a Grade Management System Improve Communication?
During the fall semester I monitored how students and parents accessed grades electronically using Powerschool. This presentation discusses how access to Powerschool can influence communication between parents, students and me and how that changes our relationship and student achievement.
Close reading is a skill all students need to acquire, and the pressure to do so has been heightened by the upcoming Common Core testing. My first year in the classroom has been a challenge on many levels. I will present instructional strategies, resources, and student work based on the theory and practice of Close Reading.
At Winooski Middle School, Team Nexus used the Beane Model and some inspiration from The Edge Academy to introduce problem-based learning. It took us a while to gain momentum, but now all of our students are engrossed in researching a topic connected to the democratically selected theme: Harassment and Abuse of Power.
I once heard the saying, "A country is only as strong as its youth." If this is true, than we have to hope that even with a population of over 300 million people, our nation's identity is still one that makes room for our youth to find a place and grow. This project takes a look at how middle school students have found their place as members of the American community and faces of our global identity.
For our first unit in Social Studies this year, my students focused on the BIG essential question of "What is Culture?" As with most of my school's Social Studies district assessments, at the end of the unit students are told to write a response to the big essential question. This study focused on using the SIOP to guide lesson planning and incorporate technology to see how those tools might aid in the students' demonstration of their knowledge of place and cultural identity.
This study is meant to help our students gain and demonstrate a deeper understanding of higher level informational texts through the intentional use of close readings and independent evidence writing via the gradual release of responsibility.
The focus of this study is to evaluate the effects of using the brain based teaching strategy of creating various emotional states in students, in order to increase meaningful, deep and lasting learning experiences.
This project is an exploration of implementing strategies to foster a growth mindset in a middle level math classroom. Inspired by Carol S. Dweck's research on mindset and Jo Boaler's research on how to learn math, I report on the findings to student achievement in math.
This Action Research Project explores how a combined multi-age class addresses the diverse academic and social needs of young adolescents. It looks at evidence of higher achievement, engagement, and successful differentiation of a 7th/8th grade group using a co-teaching model that includes 2 teachers and a special educator.
Using Brain Based learning strategies an art educator has translated the new National Core Arts Standards into student friendly language and demonstrated ways these can be used in as primary level art classroom.
This action research project looks at increasing student engagement in Language Arts as the team moves towards a multidisciplinary curriculum. Using a student negotiated curriculum, students' responses on surveys, feedback, and questions about the world are being used to shape an unit on conflict and war.
English Language Learners: What do teachers value as most important?
For my Action Research Project, I created a survey for teacher of English Language Learners in Burlington and South Burlington School Districts. I will report on the primary influences that effect ELL teachers when planning curriculum and instruction.
This year, middle school students at Berkshire have benefitted from 1:1 iPads. The polling and quizzing app, Socrative, has enhanced my ability to formatively assess students more efficiently through instant and concise results. This has allowed for more worthwhile and differentiated instruction.
I designed a unit on the genre of Dystopia. My objective was for students to become informed about the use of story and the dystopia, and ultimately see themselves as world builders, and find a sense of hope for the future. In this presentation I will report on how I used a variety of collaboration strategies to allow students to attain literacy standards will developing a sense of hope and responsibility for their future.
This was an interdisciplinary unit between language arts and science centered around the brain, how we learn, and growth vs. fixed mindsets. Matt worked with the 7th graders while Meghan worked with the 8th graders. We plan to share our unit as well as some products and student testimonials.
Have a safe trip home and a very pleasant evening!
We're pleased to share with you our Conference Program outlining the terrific line-up of presentations and posters that were showcased.

Open Access E-book: New Readings in Arabic Historiography from Late Medieval Egypt and Syria
New Readings in Arabic Historiography from Late Medieval Egypt and Syria. Proceedings of the themed day of the Fifth Conference of the School of Mamluk Studies
Editors: Jo van Steenbergen and Maya Termonia
Series: Islamic History and Civilization, Volume: 179
ISBN: 978-90-04-45890-1 (e-book)
ISBN: 978-90-04-44702-8 (hardback)
Publication Date: 19 Apr 2021
"The present volume contributes to research on historic Arabic texts from late medieval Egypt and Syria. Departing from dominant understandings of these texts through the prisms of authenticity and "literarization," it engages with questions of textual constructedness and authorial agency.
It consists of 13 contributions by a new generation of scholars in three parts. Each part represents a different aspect of their new readings of particular texts. Part one looks at concrete instances of textual interdependencies, part two at the creativity of authorial agencies, and part three at the relationship between texts and social practice. New Readings thus participates in the revaluation of late medieval Arabic historiography as a critical field of inquiry."

Open Access E-book: Recasting Islamic Law Religion and the Nation State in Egyptian Constitution Making
Recasting Islamic Law. Religion and the Nation State in Egyptian Constitution Making
Author: Rachel M. Scott
Cornell University Press | 2021
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1515/9781501753985
" By examining the intersection of Islamic law, state law, religion, and culture in the Egyptian nation-building process, Recasting Islamic Law highlights how the sharia, when attached to constitutional commitments, is reshaped into modern Islamic state law.
Rachel M. Scott analyzes the complex effects of constitutional commitments to the sharia in the wake of the Egyptian Revolution of 2011. She argues that the sharia is not dismantled by the modern state when it is applied as modern Islamic state law, but rather recast in its service. In showing the particular forms that the sharia takes when it is applied as modern Islamic state law, Scott pushes back against assumptions that introductions of the sharia into modern state law result in either the revival of medieval Islam or in its complete transformation. Scott engages with premodern law and with the Ottoman legal legacy on topics concerning Egypt's Coptic community, women's rights, personal status law, and the relationship between religious scholars and the Supreme Constitutional Court. Recasting Islamic Law considers modern Islamic state law's discontinuities and its continuities with premodern sharia."

Editor(s): Eid Mohamed, Ayman El-Desouky
"The so-called Arab Spring challenged conventional wisdom and certainties about the Arab world where its effects continue to be felt as well as in the diaspora.
This book provides an original contribution to current social and cultural theory on Arab social movements by giving a fuller historical and critical treatment of contemporary artistic and cultural production from the region and beyond."
Open Access E-book: Media and Mapping Practices in the Middle East and North Africa
Media and Mapping Practices in the Middle East and North Africa
Producing Space
Edited by: Alena Strohmaier, Angela Krewani
Amsterdam University Press, 2021
" A few months into the popular uprisings in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region in 2009/10, the promises of social media, including its ability to influence a participatory governance model, grassroots civic engagement, new social dynamics, inclusive societies and new opportunities for businesses and entrepreneurs, became more evident than ever. Simultaneously, cartography received new considerable interest as it merged with social media platforms. In an attempt to rearticulate the relationship between media and mapping practices, whilst also addressing new and social media, this interdisciplinary book abides by one relatively clear point: space is a media product. The overall focus of this book is accordingly not so much on the role of new technologies and social networks as it is on how media and mapping practices expand the very notion of cultural engagement, political activism, popular protest and social participation."
Open Access E-book: The Dragoman Renaissance. Diplomatic Interpreters and the Routes of Orientalism
The Dragoman Renaissance. Diplomatic Interpreters and the Routes of Orientalism
E. Natalie Rothman
" In The Dragoman Renaissance, E. Natalie Rothman traces how Istanbul-based diplomatic translator-interpreters, known as the dragomans, systematically engaged Ottoman elites in the study of the Ottoman Empire—eventually coalescing in the discipline of Orientalism—throughout the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
Rothman challenges Eurocentric assumptions still pervasive in Renaissance studies by showing the centrality of Ottoman imperial culture to the articulation of European knowledge about the Ottomans. To do so, she draws on a dazzling array of new material from a variety of archives. By studying the sustained interactions between dragomans and Ottoman courtiers in this period, Rothman disrupts common ideas about a singular moment of "cultural encounter," as well as about a "docile" and "static" Orient, simply acted upon by extraneous imperial powers.
The Dragoman Renaissance creatively uncovers how dragomans mediated Ottoman ethno-linguistic, political, and religious categories to European diplomats and scholars. Further, it shows how dragomans did not simply circulate fixed knowledge. Rather, their engagement of Ottoman imperial modes of inquiry and social reproduction shaped the discipline of Orientalism for centuries to come.
Thanks to generous funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, through The Sustainable History Monograph Pilot, the ebook editions of this book are available as Open Access volumes from Cornell Open (cornellopen.org) and other repositories."

Impac Brews a Better Solution for Second Cup
"We had a software system designed for Goliath. We needed one for David."
That was the initial impression of Paul Anonen, Director of Finance of Dinecorp, when it acquired Second Cup. The coffee giant had been running a well-respected business system that was meant for a much larger and more bureaucratic company. "Impac Solutions suggested Sage Accpac ERP, a smaller, more agile system. Within just a few months we had a new, fully webenabled and seamless financial system that matches both our needs and our corporate culture. We have been extremely pleased with the results."
Canadians Love Their Second Cup
From a humble beginning in 1975 as a shopping mall kiosk that sold only whole bean coffee, Second Cup has become Canada's largest franchisor of specialty coffee cafés. Starbucks' biggest rival in Canada, the company has grown to include nearly 400 cafés across Canada and around the world, making Second Cup a second home to hundreds of thousands of guests every day. The Second Cup product line now features more than 25 premium coffees, specialty beverages, complementary foods, and merchandise items. Second Cup is almost entirely franchised with over 90% of its cafés owned by franchisees. In
Impac Solutions designed an implemented a sleek, fully web-enabled Sage Accpac solution, with a complete suite of financial management modules RESULTS:
Second Cup has automated its accounting functions, streamlining management of payables, receivables, and new store construction and franchising operations
2002, Second Cup became a member of the Cara Operations family of restaurants, which includes Milestones, Kelsey's, Montana's, Swiss Chalet, and Harvey's. In 2006, Second Cup became a wholly owned subsidiary of Dinecorp Hospitality, Inc. which has since been renamed Second Cup Coffee Company Inc.
Java Jolt for Finance
Second Cup uses its new Sage Accpac ERP system to manage the corporate owned cafés, as well as royalties and advertising for all locations. The system also automates payroll for the corporate cafés and home office, tracks operating expenses, and manages the company's fixed assets.
"All financial transactions are handled through Sage Accpac ERP," explains Patricia Bautista, manager of accounting. "I had used the software earlier in my career, and was glad to see all of the features and functionality that have been added. Not only is it a very powerful system, but it's also extremely user friendly and easy to learn. Practically anybody can pick it up and use it on their own, so staff members no longer need to depend on others for data extraction."
Extra Shot of Financial Data
Second Cup management appreciates the robust reports that can be created within Sage Accpac ERP. "Impac Solutions implemented many standard reports, such as basic financial statements. They have also written many custom reports to meet our specific needs. The best thing about their reports is that we can export them easily, providing greater access to financial data throughout our organization," says Bautista.
Customized tracking reports for construction costs are becoming increasingly important for Second Cup as it acquires new cafés. "Whether we are keeping a new location as a corporate café, or offering it to franchise partners, we always perform a complete renovation," Bautista
explains. "This involves a great deal of construction management, which has been a headache. New capabilities in Sage Accpac ERP will make the job much easier."
Kudos for Impac Solutions
"Impac Solutions is very adept at finding easier and more efficient ways to run our business," Bautista continues. "They can look at a scenario, and quickly come up with an answer that will streamline our workload. If we ask them something specific, whether it's for an internal or external requirement, they've been able to deliver for us."
She also likes the way that her business partner goes the extra mile. "Once, when our system was brand new, we needed to collect royalties and advertising fees from more than 300 cafés, and experienced a glitch in the software. Impac Solutions stayed here until late at night to ensure that we met our deadline. They're willing to do whatever it takes to fulfill their promises, and they're always here for us when we need them," notes Bautista.
Anonen agrees. "Having partnered with Impac Solutions for more than five years, we consider them an excellent fit," he says. "At Second Cup, they created a system that integrates data from diverse departments, such as construction, finance and franchising, into a single format. We anticipate significant savings from their system's ability to track budgets more closely."

ATHENS OPEN AIR
MOTÖRHEAD - DIMMU BORGIR (gig cancelled) -

CIRCLE II CIRCLE
+ DIMMU BORGIR's cancelled gig
When this fest was announced everyone had high hopes for it. We believed that after the Rockwave festival that takes place almost every year in Athens we will have 2 big summer events from now on. But we were wrong. This festival turned into a disaster and i doubt if the promoter will organize it again or maybe not in the near future. Let's see how all this turned out.
The festival was going to take place beside the sea at a beach in Athens. As an idea i liked it and i thought it was going to be a cool experience. The doors were going to open at 3:30 and the first band must start playing at 4:45 but when i arrived there at 4:30 the roadies were still doing soundcheck. Many metalheads were gathered there and all were wondering when the doors were going to open. Finally at around 5:30 they let the crowd get in and then it was a long wait until 7 when The Haunted came on stage to play in surprise of everyone who were expecting for Circle 2 Circle to play first. Hatebreed had cancelled their show 3 days before due to some video filming so it was one band less for us.
The Haunted played for about 45 minutes extremely well and the band was in great form. They tried to ignore the very bad sound that didn't allow their music to be heard clear in the audience and they managed to play with dust in the air. The festival was in a beach so all the moshing in the crowd created a huge dust clowd that made all people put something in their nose to avoid breathing it and the band seemed annoyed by it. To the musical part of the show as I said before, the band was excellent and they brought the place down with songs such as Hatesong, Dark Intentions, Bury Your Dead. After they left the stage I thought, ok, maybe the sound will be ok in the next bands. The breaks between each band were long and boring and add the hot sun over our heads and you get an idea for our suffering.
Circle II Circle hit the stage next and they had a very bad sound too. I couldn't believe it but it was awful. The band did her best to overcome the bad sound with a great performance but if you don't have a good sound no matter how good you play it can't be heard. They played some of their own songs and some Savatage songs as well. During Edge Of Thorns the crowd surfing was a treat for many fans, nice version of the song by the band and surely one of the best Savatage songs. The band left the stage after a 40-45 minute setlist almost the same duration with Haunted.
SENTENCED and DIMMU BORGIR 's cancelled gig
When Sentenced went on stage it had almost gotten dark and with the lights system the concert looked better and the dust clowds were less visible but still very annoying. Cross my Heart and hope to die was the opening song for Sentenced and they kept playing many songs from their latest releases until they played their all time classic Nepenthe and everyone went crazy, even the photographers in the photo pit. During this song we didn't give a damn about the dust or the bad sound or anything else. Such songs can be enjoyed under every situation. During Sentenced show I learned that Dimmu Borgir that were to appear next had cancelled their show and I saw their roadies gathering their equipment and leaving. After Sentenced finished the crowd was calling 'Borgir,Borgir' but noone went out to announce the cancellation. Later I learned that they cancelled because there weren't any backstage rooms for them to put on their corpsepaint. This reason is totally bullshit in my opinion. They should have painted their faces in their hotel and get to the venue with the mini bus. This no reason to cancel a show and leave your fans waiting for you and most important having already paid you. Dimmu wanted to appear so professional and ask for special backstage when noone else from the bands complained. The backstage area was behind the stage and although there was space for everyone to move there weren't any rooms for the bands to change but you never cancel a show for this. You can change at the hotel after the gig. Anyway, after this fiasco of Dimmu Borgir there was a huge delay when the crowd started getting wild and throwing everything they found on stage, mainly water bottles. The crowd was very calc to throw just bottles. They could all get on stage and destroy everything because the conditions under this event took place were the worst I have ever witnessed.
MOTÖRHEAD www.imotorhead.com
A riot was sure and noone blamed the crowd if they would have done it but I was surprised by their self control. A guy announced after the huge delay that Motörhead were about to start playing in 10 minutes. After 10 minutes I saw the band arriving and running to the stage and they started with no delay at all. They got their instruments and opened with We Are Motörhead. Suddenly we forgot the long delay because the band satisfied us with their performance. These 3 legends on stage playing good old dirty rock n roll. Lemmy looked like he is never going to die, after so many years he still plays with such power and passion. Next song was No Class followed by Shoot You In The Back and and Civil War. In the next song Lemmy called all the punks to take a step back because the next song was for them. God Save The Queen and the riot in the moshing pit didn't stop from the very first song. I saw people jumping in the photo pit all the time, about 30 people during each song. Motörhead is the ultimate band for headbanging and moshing. Metropolis was the next song and Doctor Rock and Ramones followed (dedicated to the Ramones guy that passed away). The show continues with Over The Top, Damage Case and Sacrifice (Mickey Dee played a killer drum solo during this song). You Better Run and Going To Brazil were next when one of the most classic Motörhead songs got its chance. Killed By Death and the number of people crowd surfing is increased. Iron Fist was the last song before the encore. The show finished with Ace Of Spades (what can I say!!) and Overkill. Excellent. The band was killer and there can't be anyone that didn't like their show. From the moment they hit the stage we forgot all about band sound, dust in our face and the bad promoting. We also forgot about the Dimmu guys that left us there waiting. Motörhead is an all time classic party band. You don't need good sound or a decent venue to see them. True heavy metal feeling.

Tourists Attacked By Terrorists in West Bank
A Palestinian man was killed and four foreign tourists have been injured in separate incidents in the Israeli-occupied part of the West Bank.
The four tourists were injured when a terrorist threw a hand grenade at their bus near a church (the Church of Lazarus) in the town of Bethany just outside Jerusalem.
Two of the tourists were treated at the scene and two others -- an Italian and a Spaniard -- were taken to a nearby Israeli hospital. All the injuries were reported to be minor. The assailant escaped.
At about the same time in Hebron, about 18 miles to the south, Israeli soldiers shot and killed a Palestinian man they said tried to stab one of them. Palestinians say the shooting was not provoked. It set off a series of demonstrations throughout the city, and Israel imposed an immediate curfew. It was the second such incident in Hebron in less than a week.
Such days, with two violent incidents, were commonplace during the anti-occupation uprising called the intifada, between 1987 and 1993. But violence has been reduced considerably since Israel and the Palestinians signed their peace accord a year ago. Still, extremists who oppose the agreement continue to strike whenever they can, in spite of both Israeli and Palestinian efforts to stop them.
Palestinian Police Complete Training
While negotiators in Cairo discuss the details of expanding Palestinian autonomy in territory occupied by Israel, Palestinian police are preparing to be deployed soon outside the current, small autonomy areas. But Israeli authorities have not yet agreed to the plan, and continuing sporadic violence is complicating the issue.
The first 150 Palestinian police officers from outside Gaza and Jericho completed their training on Monday, and the mayor of Nablus, the largest city in the West Bank, wants to put them to work. But Israeli authorities still are considering the mayor's request, and for now, the police are still waiting.
Meanwhile, continuing sporadic violence in the occupied territories is making the Israeli decision more difficult. The spokeswoman for the Israeli authority in the West Bank says the request to deploy Palestinian police in Nablus is being considered, and the details of their duties are being discussed with the mayor. But she says they would not have the same type of security function that Palestinian police have in the autonomous areas. That will come only later, when Palestinian autonomy is expanded to include Nablus and other parts of the West Bank -- perhaps in a few months.
Until then, the spokeswoman says, these officers would not be armed, would not wear military-style uniforms and would have authority only over such things as traffic control, parking, street peddlers and other civil affairs. She says a similar arrangement has been in place for some time in another West Bank town (Tulkarm), modeled after what are called municipal inspectors in Jordan.
The Israeli spokeswoman also denied news reports that Palestinian police will be deployed in Nablus as early as Saturday. She says the proposal likely will be approved, but not in the next few days. And she says the mayor of Nablus has promised the Israeli military governor that the police will not be deployed until permission is granted.
Nablus was a center for the anti-occupation uprising known as the intifada, between 1987 and 1993. The violence was reduced considerably following the signing of the Israeli-Palestinian peace accord a year ago. But extremist groups which oppose the agreement continue to strike whenever they can, in spite of both Israeli and Palestinian efforts to stop them. Nablus was the site of a series of incidents in July.
Both Israeli and Palestinian leaders say they will not allow the continuing violence to stop the peace process. But Israeli leaders are under intense domestic pressure not to take any step which could make it easier for terrorists to strike at Jewish targets. Expanding Palestinian autonomy to all of the West Bank would leave many Jewish settlements surrounded and would put large Israeli population centers, including Tel Aviv, within a few minutes' drive of the Palestinian zone.
U.S. May Send Troops to Golan Heights
By Victor Beattie (Washington)
A senior State Department official says the United States would consider contributing troops to an international force to monitor an Israeli-Syrian peace settlement. Assistant Secretary of State Robert Pelleatreau's comments were made as Israel's foreign minister called on Syria's president to compromise on the future of the Golan Heights.
Pelletreau says such an international force on the Golan Heights would be similar to that established in the Sinai to monitor the Israeli-Egyptian peace treaty. Pelletreau -- who testified at a Tuesday congressional hearing -- says he expects such a request might be part of an overall peace package.
Pelletreau says there is a good opportunity for peace between Israel and Syria. Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres agrees, saying the move toward a peace treaty with Jordan should provide momentum in Israeli negotiations with Syria. Peres acknowledges the talks now are stalemated and suggests President Hafez al-Assad might have a reason for his unwillingness to compromise: "Maybe President Assad thinks, by keeping his position, he will start the negotiation by getting the maximum price."
The price being sought by Syria is total Israeli withdrawal from the Golan Heights and a dismantling of all Jewish settlements there. The foreign minister says, without compromise, there will be no peace.
Toronto JCC Is Casualty Of Recession
In yet another sign of the prolonged recession rocking Canada and its Jewish community along with it, the Jewish Community Center of Toronto has gone bust.
On Aug. 25, the JCC filed notice of its intention to submit a proposal to creditors under the federal Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act. The proposal must be submitted within 30 days.
In the boom years of the 1980s, the JCC-- which consists of a main campus on Bathurst Street, the central artery of Toronto's 160,000 strong community, as well as a downtown building and a suburban branch-- underwent an extensive renovation and expansion program.
But as the economy soured, pledges became uncollectible. JCC management began taking capital out of foundation funds and other monies to cover operating costs.
The Jewish Federation of Greater Toronto, which funded some programs at the JCC but was independent of it, has assumed responsibility for $5 million (Canadian) of the JCC's debts.
The federation's largest creditor is the Bank of Montreal, which is owed $9.7 million. The Honeywell Corp., a manufacturer of computers, has a $1.1 million lien on the JCC for an energy conservation system it installed. And 29 creditors, many of them small, Jewish-owned businesses, are owed $1.2 million.
The JCC's total indebtedness is put at between $13 million to $17 million, said Morris Zbar, the associate director of the Toronto Federation.
The federation will appoint a seven-person board of directors to replace the officers of the near bankrupt community center in order to run the JCC in the interim.
Under a reorganization plan, the three branches of the JCC are to become independent. The downtown building will assume $3 million of the debt, while the suburban branch is to raise $1 million. More painful adjustments include cancellation of the 1994- 1995 season of the Leah Posluns Theater at the Bathurst Street campus, which had hundreds of subscribers.
The JCC's popular dance and theater school classes were also canceled, and the Institute of Jewish Learning, an adult- education program, was closed.
In addition, 26 full-time and six part-time JCC staff have been let go, including the director, Paul Brownstein. The dismissed staff members, who had received no advance notice or compensation, are seeking compensation.

Local leaders break ground on new autism center
A new, state-of-the-art residential facility for teenagers with autism will be opening in Provo. Located on The Heritage Community campus at 5600 North Heritage School Drive, the new $2 million facility is a collaborative effort between Vivint Smart Home, The Heritage Community and the Loveland Family Foundation of Utah.
A groundbreaking ceremony for the facility was held on October 24. Civic leaders joined executives from the sponsoring organizations, including Vivint's Todd Pedersen and Alex Dunn, at the groundbreaking.
Holly Mero-Bench, director of Vivint Smart Home's charitable foundation, said, "The mission of Vivint Smart Home's charitable work is to make a positive impact in the lives of children with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We're grateful to work so closely with The Heritage Community and to be a part of this new facility that will touch many lives."
Autism affects one in every 54 children in Utah, which is higher than the national average. The Michael S. Sproul Smart Home—named in honor of a late Vivint employee who dedicated his life to helping people with intellectual disabilities—is designed to meet the needs of neurodiverse teenagers, including those with autism. In addition to the latest in treatment and care, the facility includes smart home technology to keep its residents safe.

Garden care: To guarantee berries, it's necessary to plant a male holly nearby. Plants grown as free-standing specimens require minimal pruning - remove diseased or misplaced branches in spring. Trim plants grown as formal hedges in late summer. After pruning apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted compost or manure around the base of the plant.

Q: Accept INVITE only after REGISTER I run my own sip server (asterisk).  Apparently my sip server allows to perform an INVITE without doing any REGISTER first.  This leads to lots of unsuccessful attacks on my server.  IS there any way to allow INVITE requests only from a successfully REGISTERed clients?  Through asterisk or iptables?

A: You need change allowguest parameter to no in your sip.conf.
Check the link below for more tips about security in asterisk:
http://blogs.digium.com/2009/03/28/sip-security/

A: My study so far tells me that REGISTER is only for asterisk to reach or forward the INVITES but not to authenticate an INVITE request.  When an INVITE comes, asterisk tries to check the given user name and if its a valid one, it sends a 407 (Authentication required) back to the client.  Then client inserts the password (encrypted) in the response and sends INVITE2 to server.  Now server authenticates the user and when credentials match, proceeds with establishing the call.
Conclusion:  An INVITE has no relation with REGISTER and so my idea of restricting only REGISTERED clients to send an INVITE is not possible.
As a workaround, I have written my own script.  Source is at https://github.com/naidu/JailMe

A: Consider a real Session Border Controller which pays for itself quickly when you get hacked. However, if you want a "good enough" option then read on:
There is an iptables module called "string" which will search a packet for a given string. In the case of SIP we expect to see "REGISTER" in the first packet from any given address, so combine this with -m state --state NEW or something similar. After that, we would want keep-alive happening to ensure that connection tracking remains open (usually Asterisk sends OPTIONS, but it can send empty UDP). You want that anyway in case the client is behind NAT.
It's not the ideal solution, because iptables cannot figure out whether a registration has been successful, but at least we can insist the other guy makes an attempt at registration. One of the answers linked below shows use of the string module in iptables:
https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/31957/test-firewall-rules-linux
You could also put an AGI script into your dialplan that does some additional checking, potentially looking at IP address and whether the extension is registered... ensure the INVITE comes from the same source IP.

A: Fail2Ban is an easy way to block unwanted traffic! fail2ban check system logs for failed attempts, if there are too many (exceeding defined threshold) failed attempts in specified time from some remote IP then Fail2Pan consider it as attack, and then add that IP address in iptables to block any type of traffic from it. following links can help

Hi everyone. For 109 I used 4 first. Then I just played the Aces already on the board first. Followed through pretty straight from there.
7 hint was wrong, I now think. Sorry.
Best time and low moves but not at the same time. lol!
How in the world do I manage to have low moves?
Finally! But what was the secret? 7 first?


It seems that Republican activists in the Palmetto State are having some real trouble at the intersection of modern technology and retrograde sensibilities. Earlier, as Michelle noted, it was Rusty DePass joking on Facebook that an escaped gorilla was one of Michelle Obama's "ancestors."
Hilarious. Something tells me that the GOP's belief that it can social-network its way back into power may be short-lived.

News & Notes: Ronnie Harrison returns to practice, ready to pick up where he left off
Browns safety missed last week's game because of a concussion
Ronnie Harrison Jr. was back at practice Wednesday and ready to pick up where Browns fans last saw him.
The Browns safety made his first start with the team and collected the first pick-six of his career in the team's Week 5 win over the Colts. But within a few minutes of the play, Harrison was on the sidelines undergoing evaluation for a concussion — an injury that would ultimately keep him out of the following week's game at Pittsburgh.
"It was kind of tough not being able to finish the game and not be out there to celebrate the win," Harrison said. "I'm just glad to be back and be back out with them. Happy to get this thing rolling this week."
Harrison's return is timely, as the Browns secondary continues to deal with injuries that have dogged it dating back to training camp. On the same day Harrison was back, veteran S Andrew Sendejo, who hasn't missed a snap this season, was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice because of a shin injury. S Karl Joseph, who has missed the past two games with a hamstring injury, also returned to practice.
"We are looking for guys that can make plays on defense and get that rock and Ronnie has done it," Browns coach Kevin Stefanski said. "Karl has played at a high level for us so I think we are fortunate that we have played a lot of guys early in this season already due to injury, which is not ideal, but guys are getting a lot of reps and we are comfortable with playing guys back there and if guys' their numbers are called they have a baseline of reps to work off."
Harrison, who was acquired in a trade with the Jaguars, was slowly worked into the swing of things after joining the Browns just before the start of the season. His snaps gradually increased during the first part of the season before he took on full-time duty in the wake of Joseph's injury.
It's unclear just how Harrison will be utilized Sunday against the Bengals, but it's clear there will be a place for someone who can make the kind of plays he's already proven capable of making.
"Just trying to get back in there and pick up where I left off," Harrison said. "I just want to keep going out there and making plays, help out this defense and help out this team as much as I can."
Stefanski said G Wyatt Teller was pushing hard to return for Sunday's game but admitted it would be difficult to do. Teller is dealing with a calf injury that kept him out of last week's game and sidelined him again for Wednesday's practice.
"Those injuries are hard," Stefanski said. "He is trying."
Chris Hubbard is poised to start for the second straight week in Teller's place.
LB Jacob Phillips was also a non-participant Wednesday. The third-round rookie continues to deal with a knee injury that has limited him to three games this season.
Involving Odell
Stefanski said "there are always things that we can do better" when it comes to getting WR Odell Beckham Jr. involved early and often in games.
Beckham, who missed practice Thursday and Friday with an illness, caught just two passes for 25 yards in last week's loss to the Steelers. He was targeted a season-low four times.
Beckham and Jarvis Landry are tied for the team lead with 319 receiving yards. He's also tied with RB Kareem Hunt for most touchdown catches (three).
"We can design better plays, just the rhythm of how we call them," Stefanski said. "I have said it before, it is no mystery he is a big part of our success. So, our success winning ballgames, he is going to be a big part of that. And I hope that includes individual success, obviously, for him. For all of our players, I want them all to have individual success. But No. 1 is the team success, and obviously he goes a very, very long way in our success."
