On 11-12 September 2018 the World Summit on Digital Built Environment WDBE 2018 will showcase a unique portfolio of ideas, projects and businesses from the digital forefront of design, construction, property and real estate.
WDBE 2018 brings together clients, owners, executors and end users and it will cover the whole range of solutions from niche technologies to global services. The floor is open both to private innovators and public authorities. It's showcasing, but it's not about bragging – it's about people coming together and coming up with yet more new ideas.
Main themes of the Summit will be technology platforms, enabling technologies (IoT, data, analytics), business models and ecosystems. User experience, best public practices and country reports from around the world will also be covered. The total number of presentations will exceed 100.
WDBE 2018 has already confirmed an impressive line-up of keynote speakers. Forest Flager's US-based company Katerra is only three years old, but it just closed an 865 MUSD investment from Softbank to speed up processes in the construction industry. Torben Klitgaard carries the helm at BLOXhub, a Danish version of national digital development platform. Paul Doherty's The Digit Group currently signed four remarkable Smart City projects to China. Brett Young's BuildingSP brings big data to help with BIM processes and Andrew Watts' Newtecnic has modelled the most demanding projects from Morocco to Mexico and from Kuwait to China.
Lene Esperssen, CEO at the Danish Association of Architectural Firms, has 10 years of experience as Government Minister and currently also chairs Aalborg University. Kjetil Tonning is responsible for heavy construction at Scandinavia's fourth largest contractor Veidekke and will also become the next President of European Construction Industry Federation FIEC. The Finnish Minister of the Environment, Energy and Housing Kimmo Tiilikainen has promised to deliver a wakeup call in the first morning.
WDBE 2018 is currently growing to become the most comprehensive cross-section of digital developments in the built environment. The branch is coming to a turning point where new major opportunities arise and the old school approach is challenged from all directions. The result, we believe, will be substantial growth both in productivity and quality.
WDBE will be realized by KIRA-digi – Finnish Government's key project to create an open and interoperable information management ecosystem for the built environment – together with RIL Events, the further education arm of the Finnish Association of Civil Engineers RIL.


Ada County has rejected overtures from the Boise Fire Department to coordinate paramedic services despite apparent duplication of services across the county.
The fire department, which carries paramedics on several of its trucks, wants to make sure it and Ada County don't station paramedics right next to each other, but instead spread them out so they can cover the city better. But the county isn't biting, despite claims that it would be cheaper, faster and more effective.
"Ada County has no interest in relocating ambulance services away from Boise Fire stations," Ada County Commissioner Sharon Ullman wrote in an e-mail.
The Boise Fire Department has had emergency medical technicians on its fire engines for a long time, but started carrying paramedics--who are qualified to do more medical procedures, such as cardiac monitoring, intubation and administering drugs-- three years ago to better meet the city's needs.
"There were gaps in the city where Ada County was taking too long to get there," Fire Chief Dennis Doan said.
Expansion has been slow because the fire department is adding paramedics by attrition so it doesn't have to pay for paramedic training. By the end of the year, Boise Fire expects to have paramedics at five stations.
But Ada County doesn't take the fire department's paramedics into account when it decides where to station ambulances, Doan said.
After the fire department stationed a paramedic near the Hillcrest Country Club, Ada County Paramedics put an ambulance right next to it, in the same building. And that's just one instance of overlap; there are at least three more that are co-located.
Meanwhile, there are other places in Boise where an Ada County Paramedics station would do more good, Doan said.
"If we had no ambulance system in the county, how would we build it?" Doan said. "We wouldn't build it this way ... I don't want to have a turf war, but what's happening right now is it's two different systems growing side-by-side, rather than together ... What I would like to do is build our system together. I would like to build a deployment model together."
Ada County has its reasons for stationing ambulances where it does, according to county spokeswoman Laura Wylde. It measures how long it takes for emergency personnel to arrive on the scene and how long it takes to transport patients to the hospital. Although working with the fire department could improve arrival times, it wouldn't improve transport times, she said.
But Doan said the Boise Fire Department would like to start a program to transport patients to the hospital, like Kuna already has.
In fact, the Kuna Fire Department performs all of that city's ambulance services. But Kuna residents are still paying for ambulance service from Ada County, even though they rarely, if ever, receive it.
Like all county residents, Kuna homeowners pay ambulance district taxes when they pay property taxes and license plate fees, Kuna Fire Chief Doug Rosin said. Ada doesn't reimburse the Kuna Fire Department, so Kuna Fire has drafted a proposal for the 2010 Legislature that would force Ada County to turn over a portion of the ambulance district funds to Kuna and to all other emergency medical service providers in the county.
Kuna had to start its own paramedic program, Rosin said. In 2004, the closest ambulance to Kuna was stationed at St. Luke's West, in Meridian, he said. There were delays of 20 minutes or longer before Ada paramedics could show up to start advanced medical procedures. That was too long, Rosin said.
So Kuna applied to the state for a license to start offering paramedic and transport services. "[Ada County] immediately put a paramedic in our station and tried to convince us not to go for licensure," Rosin said. But at that point, Kuna was fed up with service from Ada. The city got its license in 2004, trained its paramedics, and started offering full paramedic service two years later.
That's when Ada County's strong-arm tactics began. The county passed an ordinance requiring all paramedics in the county to be licensed not only by the state, but by Ada County Paramedics, Rosin said. Ada County then sued Kuna under the new ordinance.
Kuna countersued, and the courts sided with the city. The lawsuit paved the way for Kuna to provide its own emergency services, and Rosin said Kuna is eager to recapture funds from the county that are going to a service the city doesn't need.
Ada County, however, claims the city of Kuna is the one providing the redundant service and duplicate costs.
"Kuna is still within the Ada County EMS District, and their decision to start their own ambulance service essentially duplicates services provided by Ada County," Wylde said. "The ambulance services that Kuna Fire provides is funded by user fees and fire district dollars, but since Kuna remains in the Ada County EMS district, Ada County Paramedics will still respond to calls when asked." If Kuna's legislative efforts meet with success, they could help Boise as it looks to expand its paramedic program.
For now, Boise will continue negotiating with Ada County in hopes of reaching some solution, Doan said, but if Ada is unwilling to work with Boise, Boise Fire will continue to take care of its citizens through its own program.
That may mean putting more paramedics on fire engines, he said.

First Nations Chief Fears Site C Will Increase Mercury Poisoning of Fish
Carol Linnitt
West Moberly First Nation Chief Roland Willson said the day his nine-year-old son caught a nine pound fish, a dolly varden, in the Williston reservoir should have been a proud moment.
"He caught it in the reservoir but because of what I know about the mercury we couldn't eat it," Willson said. "He had snagged it so bad we had to take it home and it ended up going in the garbage."
The Williston reservoir, resulting from the creation of the W.A.C Bennett dam, is known for containing high levels of mercury, a common feature of large man-made reservoirs containing high levels of organic material. In 2000, the B.C. government issued a fish consumption advisory for the reservoir.
Although that day of fishing on the reservoir was seven years ago, Willson has a new reason to fear those high levels of mercury: the recent approval of the Site C dam.
Willson said he's concerned the Site C dam will result in similarly contaminated reservoir water.
"Site C is proposed for the same river," Willson said. "There's no reason to think this problem is not going to transfer."
According to an internal mercury assessment for the Site C reservoir prepared by BC Hydro for Health Canada, "one of the known impacts of reservoir creation is the increase in fish mercury concentration and the real and perceived effects on human health."
The Site C dam project will flood a 100 square kilometre region that is rich in organic materials. According to the Site C mercury assessment, the flooding of such areas contributes to the creation of methyl mercury, a form of mercury that bioaccumulates in the food chain through fish:
The flooding of soils and vegetation to create reservoirs during hydroelectric development provides a new source of nutrients and inorganic mercury for bacteria in the flooded environment. Bacterial decomposition of this new organic material increases the natural rate of methyl mercury creation in the new reservoir which can last for several years. Ultimately, this causes methyl mercury concentrations to increase in water, plankton, aquatic insects, and fish. In Canada, the phenomenon of increased methyl mercury concentrations in the environment and especially in fish as a result of reservoir creation has been well documented, especially in Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec.
The West Moberly First Nation recently sampled 57 fish taken from the Crooked River, a migration route directly connected to the Williston reservoir.
They found 98 per cent of the samples contained mercury levels that exceeded provincial guidelines.
Willson held up a Hershey's Kiss chocolate. "See this? Our study shows that women of childbearing age, toddlers and the elderly should not eat more than that (amount of fish) a day. That's how much mercury is in there."
He said he's very concerned the construction of the Site C dam will further threaten his Nation's ability to consume their traditional foods.
"This is our salmon. We don't have salmon up there. The bull trout, the lake trout, the dolly varden — they have lots of fat content, you smoke them, you dry them, we can them, you throw that fish on the fire at the cabin, barbeque and cook it up with onions."
"It tastes pretty good. So we thought."
Willson said the B.C. government is arguing Site C is needed to create power for B.C. homes.
"This power is not needed for homes. That' a lie," he said.
"This power is not for homes, it's for development. They need power for LNG and for all the mines up there."
The B.C. government is aggressively pursuing development of natural gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facilities to supply gas to Asian markets.
Willson said he is committed to fighting against the Site C dam's approval. His nation is working with RAVEN Trust, a legal aid group which is currently fundraising to support the West Moberly Nation's legal challenge.
"There's a workable solution for creating an alternative," Willson said, saying geothermal is a known option BC Hydro has been criticized for not giving full consideration.
"Canada is supposed to be a world leading country in technology," he said. "There's got to be a way to use gas here, without flooding our valley."
"Site C started as a $7 million dollar bad idea. It's now a $9 billion dollar mistake," Willson said. "By the time they're done it's going be a $12 billion dollar nightmare. Our grandkids are going to have to deal with it."

Law is a fascinating subject which affects everybody every day. Each time you catch a bus, go to work, go shopping or eat out Law is involved. Law is everywhere!
Law can be studied in combination with all other subjects as it develops skills which can be used across the board. You will improve your essay writing skills, your communication skills, vocabulary and memory.
You will need a B/5 or above in your GCSE English Language. Law is a challenging subject so you should be prepared to work hard. You will need a good memory for all the case Law you need to remember and be highly motivated as the subject involves a high volume of essays. Students who achieve well in the humanities such as History find that they already have many of the necessary skills.
Law can lead to a broad range of careers; it can be the first step to becoming a solicitor, barrister, clerk of the court, police officer, journalist, politician, civil servant, teacher, a career in business and much more.
We will be following the OCR GCE Law Specification which was updated for 2017; this offers a new and exciting perspective on the subject, with relevant and up to date topics and case studies. The modules are designed to provide an introduction to the study of Law, by covering a broad range of content. Students will study Law making processes and the English legal system. There will also be a specific focus on three separate areas of the substantive Law. These are criminal Law, contract Law and negligence. Students will learn the theory of Law and will develop the ability to apply the Law to given situations.
The course is divided in to three modules. The first module provides and introduction to the English legal system, covering the principles of dispute solving and the legal profession. Amongst the topics that students will study in this unit are civil courts and dispute resolution and criminal courts and lay people (the jury and Magistrates). This module also covers an in-depth study of criminal Law. Non-fatal, fatal and property offences will be examined.
The second module is an introduction to Law making. Students will study: Parliamentary Law making, judicial precedent and delegated legislation. They will also study the tort of negligence.
In the third unit students will evaluate the nature of Law. Does the Law achieve justice? How does the Law deal with new, emerging technology? Students will also study contract Law.
There are three written exams which are each worth 33.33% of the A level. All are two hours long and contain a range of short answer questions, short essays and extended essays.
"I have really enjoyed every aspect of law this year".
"Very interesting and can be applied to real-life situations".
"The teachers take time to go through the content with each individual student".


For sale is our 2009 BMW 750Li in near new condition. This car has been garage kept and really only used for our longer road trips. The car currently has just over 50K miles on her and they are essentially all highway miles. We searched high and low for this car, finding this particular one near Chicago. The car has every available option and listed originally for almost $113K.
The color of this car is actually Cashmere Silver Metallic with Nappa Black Leather interior. Some options include: Driver Assistance Package, Luxury Front and Rear Seating Package, Driver Assistance Package, Premium Sound Package, Rear Entertainment Package, Sport Package, Active Cruise Control, Nightvision Detection, and Heads-up Display.
The car has never been in an accident and has always been serviced by BMW. Recently, the battery was replaced and received a new set of Pirelli P-Zero Run-Flats. The condition of this car is really nothing less than spectacular. I have done a lot of research in looking at others out there for sale and I have found none that I would consider to be in as good of shape.
I welcome any questions you may have and should you need any additional information or pics, please let me know. This vehicle is listed locally and I reserve the right to end this auction early.


— Your job position is not clear: senior specialist managing instruments and models in the Risk section. I'd like to understand what that means. For a start, tell me what exactly the Risk section does.
— The Risk section deals with risk management and predictive analysis. The task before the section is to take the information we have about our clients and predict how their relations with the bank will develop. Put simply, if the client asks for money from the bank, will he be a trustworthy borrower? And if the scoring system erred and he doesn't pay back the loan, is there a chance that they can get back at least part of the debt? Or, for example, a company goes bankrupt and decides to settle in a London court where the hourly fee of lawyers is really high. It might be cheaper for the bank to write off that debt than spend money on court proceedings. So our job is to correctly classify all the clients who have borrowed money and predict the likelihood of various outcomes. This is because the main driver of profit in any bank is minimizing the cost of debt servicing.
— What does "managing instruments and models" mean?
— We data scientists do modeling. We build models using methods of machine learning. Banks have an appetite for risk. A bank might take big risks and make big profits, but losses might grow, too. Or it can take fewer risks. On the one hand, it would seem that it's better to be conservative – bank clients will trust you more. But on the other hand, that means that the bank will lose out on some profits that it might have gotten if it had taken a risk. In the past, Sberbank was conservative, but today the priority in the Risk section is to find the golden mean between conservatism and risk appetite.
We are developing models that look for additional opportunities in places where it was considered too risky to invest in the past. To do this we have to make the algorithms more complex and more exact – but not make them too complicated.
— The logic produced by the machine has to be easily interpreted by people. We have to be able to explain to our business partners why we are saying yes or no in various situations. For that reason, neural networks are not used in bank risks — it's hard to explain the logic, and you just have to accept what the program says. But we can't come to a client, point to the skies and say, "That's what the machine said"!
— What are you personally working on now?
— I'm working on forecasting the likelihood of defaults in Russia's constituent parts, such as regions or cities. Predictive modeling is different for individuals, individual entrepreneurs, big corporations and so on. But there are whole cities that borrow money from Sberbank. My job is to determine their investment attractiveness and the risk of lending them funds.
It's complicated because Russia's constituent parts are a kind of legal entity that has never formally defaulted. The state always covers their budget deficits with subsidies. But there are cities that have no debts and there are cities that owe thousands of billions of roubles. To analyze them in our model and correctly rate them, we have to somehow calculate the risk of default. Since the project for the most part relies on open sources, I was able to use the work to defend my Master's dissertation at the Plekhanov Russian University of Economics.
— How is your work organized?
— We work in Agile Home. It's a methodology for managing human resources. We work in open spaces — there are no offices. All the section and department leaders sit next to each other. We can go up to anyone and ask for advice. The structure and hierarchy have been simplified as much as possible and made horizontal. People aren't divided into departments but into tribes. We don't have totem poles, but we should hang a drum or something. It sounds funny, but it's actually a very comfortable environment. There are three to fifteen people in a team and the team solves a specific task. If I stop liking what I'm doing, I can always ask to be sent to a different tribe to work on another task. I don't have to fill out a ton of paperwork and switch departments through HR.
In the past, if the validators found, for example, a mistake in our model, they were supposed to tell their boss, and their boss was supposed to tell our boss, and our boss was supposed to shake his finger at us and say, "Tsk-tsk-tsk". In the new system, the validators just look at who was in the working group and send a note to fix something. It happens quickly and without any red tape.
Our work time is organized really well. If you come in a 9 a.m., you leave at 6 p.m. If you come in at 10 a.m., you leave at 7 p.m. HR understands that we live in a metropolis, that there are traffic jams — even on the underground. We all sit in one space, so you can't cheat. We aren't worked to death. Everyone knows that you let the model do its work and have some free time, and that there is no point sitting around staring at the screen.
— You are just 24 years old and you're already a senior specialist. Is your whole group as young?
— Not long ago I ran into a colleague in Moscow on a business trip. We started chatting in the cafeteria, and she confessed that she is always amazed when she comes to the central office and sees how young we all are.
In some parts of the country, that's why they think that the central office is made up of greenhorns who don't know anything — that's it's a sandbox. But the explanation is really very simple. In the Risk section the average age is 25-30 because what we do is new in principle. Integrated risk management is a concept that just appeared recently, like many other machine learning methods. In fact, our graduates in business information sciences were the first group at Plekhanov! Data science departments have just begun to appear at the top institutions of higher education. So in our case, experience doesn't matter. There's no place to get it.
If you tell an older person that you work at Sberbank, they don't understand — they think you have a job as a teller in one of the branches. But if you tell someone younger, their reaction is: Wow! Cool! Now students want to work at Sberbank because the most modern methods of data science and machine learning are being used here. Sberbank intends to raise its status as a data-driven company. The reaction of the examining commission for my dissertation defense was: These students are amazing!
— You got the job after your internship on Sberseasons. How does the program work?
— The Sberbank internships are meant to identify potential employees among students. Sberseasons is open to full-time undergraduates and graduate students and lasts for two months. If the department has the funds, it can be extended for a third month. Most of the time it's a 30-hour work week. And unlike internships in other companies, these internships pay well. Interns really work on projects — they aren't just getting coffee for people. To get an internship, you have to fill out the application form and indicate exactly what you like. You should list all the work you've done — even as an undergrad — that is somehow connected with banking. I really recommend to the interns that they write their dissertations or theses here. It's realistic to do in two months.
— What's important to you at work?
— It's important for me to combine work and study. When graduate students are finishing up their Master's dissertations and defending their work, a lot of them complain that their employers don't like them constantly running off to university. Education is encouraged at Sberbank. Almost all the employees have higher degrees. My boss has Ph.D. in economics. He defended his dissertation not too long ago and teaches at university. You can't call the employees in the central office a pack of "cubicle rats". These people aren't rats at all. You won't find another place that has so many people with advanced degrees.

Roman Polanski (født 18. august 1933 i Paris, Frankrig) er en fransk-polsk filminstruktør. Hans forældre vendte tilbage til Polen, to år før 2. verdenskrig brød ud.

Han begyndte at lave film i Polen, men indspillede også film i resten af Europa. Under indspilningen af Vampyrernes nat mødte han Sharon Tate, som han senere giftede sig med. Sharon Tate blev sammen med nogle af parrets venner myrdet af Charles Mansons gruppe i 1969; hun var gravid i ottende måned og blev dræbt med 16 knivstik . Barnet, en dreng, døde sammmen med hende.

Polanski har også lejlighedsvist instrueret teater, som i 1974 med Alban Bergs opera Lulu (i den da ukomplette version), til Spoleto-festivalen dette år. Alban Bergs depraverede og dekadente miljø (Lulu er en prostitueret, der bliver myrdet af Jack the Ripper, mens elskerinden, den lesbiske grevinde Geschwitz er ved at klæde om) passede som fod i hose til Polanskis univers.

Han forlod USA i 1978 efter at være blevet anklaget for og have indrømmet at have bedøvet og voldtaget en trettenårig pige, og han har siden været bosiddende i Frankrig. I forbindelse med anklagen blev han anholdt i Schweiz den 26. september 2009.

Den 29. september 2009 underskrev en række kendte filminstruktører, skuespillere med mere en protestskrivelse, hvor de krævede Roman Polanski løsladt. Listen talte blandt andet Woody Allen, David Lynch, Martin Scorsese og Pedro Almodovar.

Selvom Schweiz har en udleveringsaftale med USA, blev han ikke udleveret og efterfølgende løsladt i 2010, efter at have siddet i husarrest. Den 25. februar 2015 mødte Polanski op i retten for at vidne i den polske by Kraków, med henblik på en eventuel udlevering. Ved et retsmøde den 22. maj var der endnu ikke truffet en afgørelse. Den polske domstol accepterede efterfølgende Polanskis advokaters begrundelse for afvisning af anmodningen om udlevering; at det strider med Den Europæiske Menneskerettighedskonvention, fordi Polanski har indrømmet skyld og tjent tid i fængsel for lovovertrædelsen. Dog er beslutningen ikke bindende, da anklagerne kan appellere.

Det skabte i 2017 furore, da det kom frem at Polanski, var valgt som formand for komitéen til uddelingen af Césarprisen. Han valgte efterfølgende at trække sig.

I dag er han gift med skuespilleren Emmanuelle Seigner. De har to børn.

Effect of cryoprotectants on the morphology of fish spermatozoa.
Bhavani, C. N (2002) Effect of cryoprotectants on the morphology of fish spermatozoa. Masters thesis, Central Institute of Fisheries Education.
A study was carried out to identify the best cryoprotectant for the cryopreservation of spermatozoa of Liza parsia, a brackish / marine fish of great culture potential. Various cryoprotectants alone and in combinations, at different concentrations have been tried. Morphology of spermatozoa before and after cryopreservation studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). A combination of 5% DMSO and 5% glycerol in V2E extender accorded better protection than 10% DMSO alone. The toxic effects of high concentrations of DMSO can be minimised by combining with glycerol.


The batsman hit his century off just 58 balls, including eight fours and half-a-dozen sixes, but it was a personal milestone that was ultimately in vain as his team failed to chase down the 188 they needed to beat Birmingham Bears.
Aside from Ricardo Vasconcelos - who had been racking up the runs nicely before being caught brilliantly on the boundary by Aaron Thomason - and Brett Hutton's late run-a-ball 15, the rest of the home batsmen failed to get out of single figures as the Bears bowlers piled on the pressure.
"It's bitter-sweet," Cobb acknowledged while talking to BBC Radio Northampton. "It was pleasing after having had a few low scores recently, but unfortunately it was in a losing side.
"I had a great net this morning where everything seemed to come out of the middle and that gave me confidence. It's a confidence game, and while it was my day it wasn't enough to get the boys over the line. We lost wickets at bad times and didn't build partnerships.
The lack of runs was frustrating, but the result was also as much down to the final three overs in the visitors' innings, when Birmingham managed to shake off the shackles which the Steelbacks attack had imposed for the first 80 percent to take their score from 144-5 at the end of the 17th over to 187-7 at the end of the 20th.
Nathan Buck, Hutton and Seekkuge Prasanna bore the brunt of the onslaught in those final three overs as England star Chris Woakes, who finished with an unbeaten 57, Bears captain Grant Elliott and Thomason threw their bats at the ball in what proved to be the deciding acceleration of the run rate.
It was a particular shame for Buck, whose first three overs had seen him take two wickets and concede just 18 runs, while Hutton's economy rate had also been impressive. Indeed none of the Steelbacks bowlers went for more than 12 an over and the seven wickets to fall were shared by four of the six players to be handed the ball.
Ultimately though, positives like this do not count for much when the overall result does not go your way, but the Steelbacks will be nevertheless looking to build on them - and Friday's performance at Headingley - when they travel to Derby on Wednesday evening.


The life of a show girl is pretty glamorous, right? Well, that depends on the type of show girl you're talking about! For us handmade jewelry show girls, the life of an artist who travels the country to showcase jewelry at national and local trade shows can have its ups and downs.
Aside from crafting handmade jewelry for the show, I have to figure out my display, which changes with the venue and my mode of transportation (plane, train, or automobile). Then, depending on whether the show is a high-end fine craft show (like the American Craft Council shows) or a more down-home show, I need to determine which of my handmade jewelry pieces I want to showcase.
This is my favorite booth because it makes customers feel like they're walking off the trade show floor and into a posh jewelry store. Unfortunately, I cannot always bring it with me, because this booth setup is only suitable for when I can drive to the show.
The entire thing breaks down into a bunch of metal rods, wood, glass, and plexiglass, along with the displays, lights, flooring and walls. All the pieces fill my car from top to bottom and it weights a ton (or so it feels like!).
When I fly, I can only bring a few parts of my display cases and lights. Even with this "lighter" load, I'll end up taking three large suitcases (each weighing about fifty pounds), and two carry-on's with me. To say the least, this amount of luggage is as awkward as it is heavy.
It starts with a whirlwind of building the booth, putting up lights, and adjusting the tables. Then my creative side is unleashed, when I spend another two to three hours laying out my handcrafted jewelry just so. A preview party typically follows booth setup and usually lasts until 9:00 pm. Phew—I'm exhausted just thinking about it!
By the time I'm done for the night and ready to check into the hotel, I'm in serious need of a snack and some shut eye—both of which are vital to surviving the next three days of presenting my best self and work to the world.
When the trade show is in full swing, there's nothing I love more than chatting with fellow artist friends and interesting customers, meeting new people, hearing crazy stories, and, of course, selling my jewelry to customers who are just as excited about the pieces as I am!
When customers respond enthusiastically to my work, the feeling cannot be beat. As an artist, I'm always hoping my jewelry makes a connection with someone – I think all artists feel this way. And when the crowd is responding to what they see – both my work and the work of my fellow jewelry show girls – you can feel the energy increase on the show floor.
After those energy-filled days, I close down for the night and join my fellow artists and jewelry show girls for drinks and fabulous meals at great local restaurants. Overall, attending a show is a treat. I get to spend time with friends and enjoy a mini vacation during the evenings, which is just icing on the cake after a great show.

Dinesh Patel, Sen. Orrin Hatch Headline BioUtah's 2013 Utah Life Science Awards
Bryan Schott· October 31, 2013 ·
BioUtah, the industry association for Utah's life science community, today announced its 2013 Utah Life Science Award winners. Dinesh Patel, PhD has garnered BioUtah's flagship award, the Willem J. Kolff Lifetime Achievement Award; Dixie Sells and Kevin Jessing will share the BioUtah Institute's Outstanding Contributor Award; and Senator Orrin Hatch will receive the inaugural BioUtah Public Service Award.
All Utah Life Science Award winners were selected by a panel that included a cross-section of industry, education and government leaders in Utah's life science community.
"These awards reflect some of the greatest qualities we can aspire to—summoning our energy and passion to serve our callings, colleagues and fellow human beings," said Kimball Thomson, president and CEO of BioUtah. "All four of our winners this year are great examples of commitment to these values, and are worthy of emulation."
Patel, partner emeritus with Signal Peak Ventures, was recognized for his multifaceted contributions to building Utah's life science sector. A prominent entrepreneur and business leader, he has founded or co-founded multiple Utah life science companies. He was the founder and CEO of TheraTech, now a major Utah division of Actavis. Patel invested in a in a large number of Utah life science companies as co-founding managing director of vSpring Capital, and in an additional 20-plus companies as an angel investor. He is active in community service, including support of numerous charities, and is currently chair of the Governing Authority for the Utah Science Technology & Research Initiative (USTAR) and a member of the executive board of BioUtah.
"It is a great honor for me to be recognized by my peers with the Kolff Award, named after one of the greatest life science innovators Utah or the world has ever known," said Patel. "In my life as an entrepreneur, investor, volunteer and board member in Utah's life science community, it has been my privilege to work with some of the greatest people I could ever know."
In receiving this award, Patel joins a distinguished group of Utah life science greats. Previous Kolff Award winners include legendary Utah inventor and robotics engineer Stephen C. Jacobsen; University of Utah Nobel Laureate Mario R. Capecchi; and the late medical informatics pioneer Homer R. Warner.
Hatch was recognized with the BioUtah Public Service Award for his extraordinary contributions to improving the business, legislative and regulatory environment for life science companies in Utah and throughout the U.S. One of the most influential and respected members of Congress on life science issues, Utah's senior U.S. Senator is co-leading the bi-partisan effort to repeal the jobs-killing, innovation-stifling medical device excise tax.
The 2013 BioUtah Institute Outstanding Contributor Award honors unsung heroes for the work they do within their respective organizations and in the community. Sells, VP of Regulatory Affairs for BSD Medical, was recognized for her exceptional knowledge and effectiveness in regulatory affairs on behalf of her organization and in the community. Jessing, current Utah Life Science Cluster Director, shared the award for his creativity and commitment to making the BioInnovations Gateway (BiG) a model life science learning organization and incubator as its former executive director.
The Utah Life Science Awards will be presented at the 4th annual Utah Life Science Summit at a special luncheon that begins at 12 p.m. at the Grand America Hotel in Salt Lake City. Utah Governor Gary Herbert will join BioUtah leaders in presenting the awards.
The premier event for Utah's life science community, the Utah Life Science Summit brings together state and national leaders for an all-day, high-quality education and networking experience. Last year's Summit featured the official launch of BioUtah as the exclusive industry association for Utah's life science community. This year's event will mark BioUtah's one-year anniversary. In its highly productive first year, the association has attracted broad and deep industry support. More than 80 life science-focused organizations have combined to commit hundreds of dollars to BioUtah's events, educational programs, and local and national legislative outreach.

Q: Ajax call returning from node JavaScript to jQuery lands on error function I have jQuery as client script and node JavaScript server as back-end.
I used to post the request to node server for getting data. Please find my AJAX call below.
My problem is even if my response is set to success it always comes in error function of the jquery.AJAX method.
And error object looks like

$.ajax({
        url : 'http://127.0.0.1:3000/uploadcontent/fileUpload',
        type : 'post',
        data : formData,
        enctype : 'multipart/form-data',
        processData : false,
        contentType : false,
        error : function(error,jqXHR, exception) {
            errorMessage(error);
            console.log(JSON.stringify(error))
            console.log(exception +"  :  "+error);
        },
        success : function(data) {
            alert(data);
            if (data.sucess){
                successMessage(data.returnMessage);
            } else {
                alert('error');
                if (data.returnObj != null) {

                } else{
                    errorMessage(data.returnMessage);
                }
            }
        }
    })

Now, find below my node JavaScript route for the above request.
app.post('/fileupload', function(req, res) {

    var fstream;
    var fileName, bunchId, standard, userKey, subject, unit, chapter, topic;
    req.pipe(req.busboy,function(err) {
        if(err) {
            console.log("ERROR: " + err.code + " (" + err.message + ")");
            return;
        }
    });
    req.busboy.on('file', function (fieldname, file, filename) {
        console.log("Uploading: " + filename);
        fstream = fs.createWriteStream(config.content_upload_path.pdf_path + filename + 'abc');
        file.pipe(fstream,function(err) {
            if(err) {
                console.log('pipe error due to stream')
                console.log("ERROR: " + err.code + " (" + err.message + ")");
                return;
            }
        });
        fstream.on('close', function () {
            fileName = filename;
            fileObject = file;
            uploadFile(paramData, res)
            res.redirect('back');
            console.log('method complete')
        });

        fstream.on('error', function (err) {
            console.log('stream on error event')
            console.log(err)
            generateWebServiceResponse(res, false, null, 200, err)
            console.log(res);
            res.send()
        });

    });}

generateWebServiceResponse method looks like this:
function generateWebServiceResponse(response, isSuccess, result, httpStatus,
    returnMessage) {
response.json({
    isSucess : isSuccess,
    returnObj : result,
    returnMessage : returnMessage,
    resultCode : 0,
    httpStatus : httpStatus
});}

Even in case of failure it should land in success function with isSuccess = false. But in each case it is landed in error case.
I am also not able to solve access origin error mentioned in the attached image.

A: It happened because of CORS. You must enable CORS for your route. The simplest way is using Node.js CORS middleware

OBJECTIONS came from a Congressional leader when it became known last fall that the tiny city of Duchesne, Utah, was about to get a $450,000, six-lane bowling alley, financed largely by the Federal Bureau of Reclamation.
''You ask them for a dam, and they give you a bowling alley,'' complained the chairman of the House Interior Subcommittee on Water and Power Resources, George Miller, Democrat of California.
The bureau, involved in a multibillion-dollar irrigation project in the area, planned to put up $375,000 for the bowling center. The city agreed to cover $75,000.
Duchesne, an isolated community of 1,730 residents about 110 miles east of Salt Lake City, said it was entitled to Federal help because it was providing services for 200 workers on the water project who did not pay property taxes. The city, which had three taverns and whose only movie theater was closed, said a recreational center was badly needed.
The city-operated bowling alley has been open since October, and ''it is always full,'' reports City Administrator Alan Grindstaff. Bowling leagues have been formed, he notes, and morning, afternoon and evening sessions are held.

The back-and-forth emails that are sent at work are generally to the point, as people do not like to read irrelevant information. So why aren't the conversations that take place at work the same? The conversations you have at work should always have an outcome. When at work, it is important that all dialogue leads to a completed task or a mitigated issue. Conversations at work should therefore be direct and to the point. This is a fact which will be appreciated under very tight timelines and when there is no time to converse about anything other than the task at hand.
Hold onto the feeling of looming timelines and time running out when you are at work. The workplace is no place for the development of unprofessional relationships, which we have written about previously. To avoid many problems that others experience at work, be results-oriented and cut all fat out of your methods of communication. There are steps which you can take in order to be more direct in your conversation habits at work, the ones below are a good place to start.
If you were to list the reasons why you go to work every morning, making friends should not be in your list of top five. There are many other places in life to make friends, and the workplace should not be purposely utilized to develop social relationships. If friendships arise after years of working with somebody, that is perfectly fine. Your friendships will build on how well you work with others, and how others perceive your work ethic to be. Developing relationships with people at work whose work habits you have not yet analyzed is a dangerous thing, and you should aim to not do so.
A person who is always to the point and only after a completed task may be disliked by some. People will see you as rude, stubborn, and anti-social. To you, these things should not matter as long as you are getting work done in an efficient and timely manner. If your work depends on you being sociable, then you better be. Analyze everything that absolutely needs to happen, and everything which does not. Some jobs do not hold an importance on social interactions with stakeholders for example, and rely heavily on independent work at your desk.
Figure out what makes you the most successful at work and only chase after those goals. These should be the overarching principles with which you work. If you are disliked for something which is not critical for your job being done well, then pay it no mind. There will be many things which demand your attention at work, including people who do not care for your time and energy.
Be selfish in achieving your own personal goals and the goals of your organization. Your conversations should all lead to increases in productivity. The people around you will find ways to attack your approach, and you shouldn't be defensive about how you conduct yourself. Simply present to them which goals you find most important to meet at work.
After you begin detailing how you will operate in the workplace and how you want your conversations to look like, you will need to become a master of utilizing concise language. Learn how to speak concisely and with precision. Eliminate any unnecessary speech in your workplace dialogue, and never make anybody wait for a point which you are making. Begin to analyze how many words people waste around you. Understand how people jump around sensitive topics and issues they don't want to directly tackle. Part of speaking concisely is tackling the scary things head on. Hone the skill of speaking professionally but harshly when needed.
Make it a priority to voice the truth in a manner which others are afraid to do so because of social pressures. Have the overarching goal in mind for each conversation you are partaking in and drive it recklessly towards those goals. Keep pushing your listeners to answer the questions that you need answered, and let them know directly if they do not provide you with the information that you need. When someone needs information from you, present it to them at once with minimal supplementary information.
Be vicious in your ability to cut the fat at work and ensure your efforts are helping the team. You will begin to be viewed as a person who cares for truth, and not other unnecessary behaviors at work. Be willing to force your way to what is needed to be said, done, and analyzed at work. Do so professionally, and learn how to do it whilst utilizing the least number of words.

Q: Problems with leaflet marker and the 'onclick' event I am using PHP 7, leaflet 1.5.1 and I am looking to call an AJAX when the marker is clicked to display content in a different DIV than the map.
The problem is that the function does not wait for the 'click' and is automatically activated when the page is loaded and shows in the DIV that it listens for the parameter of the last marker.
And then when I click on a marker, nothing happens, of course
Ideas?
THE SCRIPT

DIV THAT LISTENS

MAP DIV

AND THE PHP
<?php
    $trajo = $_POST['id'];
    echo "YOU SENT : " . $trajo;
?>

This is how it looks

A: A friend solved it with this simple change.
The issue: mostrar2 function was executed right away, and because mostrar2 returns nothing (undefined implicitly), no click event handlers where ever registered on markers.
By wrapping calls to mostrar2 with a predefined id within an anonymous function and pass that function as a click event handler for each marker, mostrar2 calls now occure only when click events are triggered on markers and with the appropriate id.
L.marker([51.5, -0.39]).addTo(mymap)
   .on('click', function () {
       mostrar2('15');
   }
);

Q: Blurry Nav Bar when scrolling I successfully fixed my nav bar on the top of my webpage when scrolling, but somehow it get's blurry when passing over certain divs (mostly sliders). Could someone give me a hand please?
http://www.clinicajardinsbenfica.pt/new.html
Thanks in advance!
edit: it seems the issue is only with chrome. no idea why.
edit2: here's a videoscreenshot with the issue http://www.screenr.com/mVEH

A: Chrome has some problems rendering fixed elements.
You should start adding the follwing to your fixed element(s):
-webkit-backface-visibility: hidden;

-webkit-transform: translateZ(0) scale(1.0, 1.0);

translateZ(0) can be used to fix numerous of Chrome Bugs.
If that doesn't work, make sure there are no elements inside your fixed element's container which have an opacity of 0. If so make sure they also have display:none;
If you still don't get a result, make sure you've the following:
html,body {
    height:100%;
    overflow:auto
}

There is still an open bug issue at chromium.

A: If you are talking about that broken background coming below that dotted border then add below given CSS to fix that
#nav li a {
    background-attachment: scroll;
    background-clip: border-box;
    background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
    background-image: none !important;
    background-origin: padding-box;
    background-position: 0 0;
    background-repeat: repeat-x;
    background-size: auto auto;
    float: left;
    font-family: GothamHTF-Medium;
    font-size: 17px;
    padding: 22px 0.85em 16px;
}

Is it what you are looking for?

A: Add this css to your nav stylings.
#nav{
 -webkit-backface-visibility: hidden;
}
