Biographical Text
Donald Randall Richberg and his father established a law firm in Chicago, Richberg & Richberg, From 1913 to 1915 he served as a special state's attorney, and from 1916 to 1919 he was a special master for a Chicago city court of chancery. During this time, he helped the City of Chicago in a case against the People's Gas Company. During the Great Railroad Strike of 1922, he became the general counsel for the Railway Employees' Department, representing the railway unions, and in 1926 he co-authored the Railway Labor Act. Also in 1926, he became counsel for the Railway Labor Executives' Association, helping to draft the Norris-La Guardia Act. In 1932, Richberg helped to found the National Progressive League, supporting Franklin D. Roosevelt in his run for President of the United States. After Roosevelt won, Richberg was a member of the presidential transition team, helping to draft the National Industrial Recovery Act (NIRA). This led to his appointment to general counsel of the National Recovery Administration, where he was in charge of defending Section 7(a) of the act. However, Roosevelt then created the National Labor Board to defend this section, which Richberg opposed and fought. In 1934, Richberg was appointed the director of the Industrial Emergency Committee and put in charge of the Executive Council and the National Emergency Council. However, other members of the administration did not approve of this, and after various political attacks, Richberg resigned, returning to the NRA as Executive Director of the National Industrial Recovery Board. In this position, however, Richberg became involved in double-dealing, lying to the President and not bringing up issues with the President after promising others he would do so. Richberg also became very pro-business, angering both labor unions and the NRA. In 1935, the Supreme Court ruled that Title I of NIRA was unconstitutional, and Roosevelt terminated the Board, causing Richberg to resign, Richberg then turned to writing and practicing law, working with Davies, Richberg, Beebe, Busick & Richardson. He continued to be consulted for drafting legislation, and he helped draft the Taft-Hartley Act and a bill that would have stopped school desegregation in Virginia. He also lectured at the University of Virginia School of Law from 1949 to 1952. Richberg married Elizabeth Harriet in 1906. However, they later divorced. Richberg then remarried to Lynette Mulvey, but they divorced in 1924 after Mulvey sued Richberg for desertion. Richberg then remarried once again to Florence Weed, and they had a daughter together. Richberg died in 1960.

I stumbled across this excellent program, and decided to give it a try, since I was moving to a new computer. Most of the bundled plugins worked like a charm. Being a software developer I use a lot of not-so-mainstream software that are not currently supported by CloneApp, so I wrote a bunch of plugins for them. What is the process of getting these new plugins integrated in the main distribution of CloneApp?
thank your very much for your comment. I'm glad you like it as a like-minded people (software dev) :P . Please send me the Plug-ins via Mail (contactATgetclone.app) or use the upload function in the Community comment section.

Opposing Higher Fees for Higher Education
Unpacking the Reforms
Spare a Thought for the High School Class of 2020
Does the Evidence Stack Up?
Is There Value in Price Signalling?
The Federal Government has proposed changes to existing university funding arrangements that would result in higher course fees for a large number of students.
The Minister for Education has suggested the reforms will incentivise students to undertake specific university courses in areas of expected employment. The alterations to funding arrangements have been justified on the basis of job security with government modelling finding that more than 60 per cent of employment growth in the next five years will come from science and technology, healthcare, education, and construction.
The changes to tertiary funding arrangements will create 39,000 new university places by 2023 with no overall increase in government funding. The government will bankroll extra places by increasing and decreasing tuition fees dependent on whether degrees are in so-called 'job-relevant' fields. Education, health, information technology, engineering, and science courses are some of the areas that would experience lower student contributions.
Young people planning to become teachers, nurses, and engineers may benefit from cheaper degrees, but those enrolling in arts, humanities and social services courses will face substantially higher course fees. These students will have to contribute more to the cost of their courses and the government significantly less. Budding lawyers and commerce grads will have their fees raised by 28 per cent whilst fees for humanities courses will more than double, increasing by 113 per cent. Undertaking a humanities degree could increase from $6,804 to $14,500 per year, becoming as expensive as studying medicine.
Students will also have to pay more for youth work degrees under the proposed changes. This is particularly worrying as there is strong demand for youth work graduates and the COVID-19 pandemic is increasing the demand for youth services in Victoria. There is significant concern that universities will not offer sufficient youth workplaces to match workforce demand if courses are not adequately funded. This also applies to social workers and those in the community sector who are experiencing increased demand during the COVID-19 pandemic. There is an urgent need for more places in these courses.
The proposed changes to the Commonwealth contributions for university courses undermine choice and opportunity for all. Increasing student contributions for certain degrees has the potential to make university inaccessible for thousands of young people.
This may disproportionately impact marginalised young people and others who are unable to afford higher course costs. Prospective higher education students who will be required to pay more for the cost of their degree may be discouraged from undertaking a course that the government regards as less essential for future workers.
The overarching rationale of the policy proposal is to motivate students to undertake degrees with the best employment outcomes. Contrary to the rationale for the proposal, humanities and social science graduates have similar job outcomes to science and mathematics graduates.
Results from the 2019 Graduate Outcomes Survey found total employment for graduates of humanities, culture, and social sciences courses in 2019 was 83.9% and for science and mathematics it was 82.4%. The high levels of employability — akin to graduates from the so-called 'job-relevant' courses — demonstrate the utility of art-based and humanities education in our universities.
READ: Final year Arts student Tiana Sixsmith defends her degree as she prepares to enter the workforce.
The logic of the proposed government policy relies on the assumption that young people are price-sensitive to the cost of university degrees and will make decisions based on the cost of courses. However, given the HECS-HELP fee loan scheme allows students to pay their fees later, student contribution discounts will not necessarily encourage students towards job-ready courses.
Andrew Norton, Professor in the Practice of Higher Education Policy at the Australian National University, suggests student course preferences are largely influenced by their interests. Research into understanding first-year students' motivations for course choice showed it is largely influenced by career interest as opposed to improving job prospects, satisfying family expectations, or attaining training for a specific job.
Rather than redirecting young people to undertake specific university courses, the government's new policy proposal will only sentence arts and humanities graduates to prolonged and more expensive HECS repayments. Instead of increasing course fees for an entire generation of students we should invest in equitable funding schemes that support all young people to access higher education.
YACVic recommends that the Australian Government works in partnership with young people to refine its university fee reform proposal, to ensure:
That all young people have equal and affordable access to the higher education course that is right for them.
An adequate social and community workforce pipeline, especially with the increasing demand resulting from COVID-19 disruption.

Preheat BBQ to medium heat (350°F-375°F).
Mix olive oil, onion, yellow pepper, tomatoes and pine nuts and cook them in a BBQ safe roasting pan over direct heat, stirring occasionally. Cook until vegetables are browned.
Grill sausages while the vegetables are cooking until they are fully cooked; a meat thermometer should read 170°F (77°C).
Allow vegetables and sausage to cool completely and then cut sausage into ¼" rounds. Mix vegetables, sausage, pasta, dressing, and basil then chill for an additional hour before serving.


Here is the video clip where that silly stone-age cow made that remark.
I listened to the linked clip and couldn't point anywhere in it where the said phrase (ኦሮምኛ ቛንቛን በጆሮዬ መስማትና ኦሮሞን በአይኔ ማየት አልፈልግም) is used. You started up your life by lying and you will end it while still lying, a lose!
Here once again the same white lie like the one which was made about Abay Bridge by the same creature here.
Here is what I fear with this criminal posting. The so called qerros are becoming more and more jehadist terrorists. They are driven by emotion rather than reasons as per the call of such fanatic tribalists and the fanatic grand ayatolah terrorist Jawar. If this woman is hurt, the author of this post will be held responsible. The admin of this forum must alert or register such accounts.
That was a short version of the interview that cow gave & she said all that mentioned by Masud .. and more. I am sure, we'll get to see the complete clip. Now, I think you're using the term 'lose' [in reference to me] a bit out of context - or rather - wrongly. I think the word you are trying to use is "LOOSE" (as in the Amharic "ል-ቅ" as in "ለቀቀ ያለ"?) - not your "LOSE". የሄ DOMA RAS KERKERO! ... ATII, HARREE UDAANI HUDDUTTI RAKKATANI!

that is why I can't understand your lecturing us about America's democracy is the same as our ethnic based "democracy" (black people elect democrats and white people elect republicans) and in Ethiopia we should elect our candidate based on his/her ethnic base, and that is how democracy is supposed to work.
ይህ እንግድህ ሰምና ወርቅ መሆኑ ነው (ቅኔ). ግን ቛንቓውን ከልቻለችው እንዴት አድርጋችው ቅኔ ልትጠቀሙ ነው ?
Ethoash is smarter than you as usual today. Learn Sem ena Work Qine. Here is where the Shiro Meda Shale and Dorzie Tirafi Senayit Tadege said that.
But you're not good in your Amharic & terrible in Afaan Oromoo.
you provided a link as an evidence to support your claim, and I told you it doesn't support but a white lie. Did you say it is the short version before openinng up your qefo ras?
"What a lose" is in afan oromo kantu and I am not talking here about your loose ness, which is also part of what you are in fact.
You think that "kantu" is an Afaan Oromoo word? .... WOW! ... Why don't you ask if you don't know words+expressions in what you told us was "your own" mother tongue [aka Afaan Oromoo]; though I think you're another banda pretending to be an Oromo or half-Oromo. Either way, you are not good in your Afaan Oromoo nor in your Afaan Sidaamaa/Amaaraa (Amharic). You're a BUUFAA HUDDUU URAA!
You might be able to help in providing short/basic steps in posting video clips like this one [the one I posted with its URL address but not as a clip with visible pictures, etc]. I tried to copy the URL of the video & post it by following the usual steps we follow to post YouTube clips/videos here on ER but did not work. Thanks/Horii bulii.
I am partially agree with your argument because I one can say I don't certain language like for example non-Amharas refusing to speak Amharic which some of them already started. However you can't say I don't want to hear because that is infringement of other's right. The Shiro Meda old Shale Senayit Tadege can refuse to speak Afan Oromo,but she can't avoid hearing it unless she killed herself or go back to remote area in Gonder. There are Afan Oromo speakers in Finfinne and she can't escape from hearing Afan Oromo and seeing Oromos. As far as they pay even they may user her night service.
Ethoash, I don't have problem with agreeing to the ground rule you proposed. Let Baldi-Rases continue talking their nonsense, but note that Qerros have right to attend the public meeting and to walk around the meeting halls. If Baldi-Rases want to meet in a quite area they can Go to [deleted] Mountains in Gonder and meet there once the wild fire stopped.
as government workers ato ሰናይት ታደገ have no right to say what she said because under government law all Ethiopian language is equal right ... in fact Ethiopian government have obligation to give u service in language that u understand by providing u translators ... here in USA it is the same thing u will be provided translators ... it is human right that Ethiopia and international community sign and agree with ..
She is trying to use the word it fits its interest like the Neftegna era. Hi! Baby over there that era has gone for ever. You won't see it again. Keep your prostitution. You are not even fit to be prostitute. No femanine features.

I've seen chocolate stirring spoons all over and thought they would make such a cute gift for a teacher, neighbor, or hostess. I decided for our cookie party this year I really wanted to make some and have a Hot Cocoa Bar. I tried a couple of different methods of making these and finally found one that is SUPER simple, so I wanted to share it with you.
Lay out a bunch of plastic spoons on a piece of wax paper.
Melt some chocolate (I used bark melting chocolate and a white chocolate bar from Trader Joe's) in the microwave in ziplock bags. I put one bag in the microwave and melted it 30 seconds at a time until the chocolate was all melted. (It took about a minute and a half.) Then I snipped a tiny hole in the corner of the ziplock bag and used it like a piping bag.
Fill the spoons with the melted chocolate.
To get the chocolate to look smooth, tap the spoon lightly on the counter.
Add toppings (I used crushed candy canes and crushed oreos) then let them sit until they harden.
I wrapped them with saran wrap and tied them with Christmas ribbon.
I put them in wine glasses for our hot cocoa bar.
I was thrilled when I found these gingerbread marshmallows at Target. I knew they'd be a perfect addition to the hot cocoa bar. I put these in small bar glasses as well.
The bar included the chocolate stirring spoons, marshmallows, Cinnabon candy canes & mints, cinnamon and cayenne pepper, whipped cream and sprinkles, and some irish cream, creme de menthe, and creme de cocoa. The possibilities were endless!
To complete the bar, I added some decorative labels I printed on my computer then mounted on Christmas paper. The hot cocoa bar was cute and really popular at the party.
I've received these as gifts and loved them, but was hesitant to make my own. With your tutorial I think I can do it!
i would love it if you would stop by my blog and link this or any other amazing project you have to my linky party going on right now!
I could really use a hot cocoa bar right now! Thanks for the tips!


Alan Dron looks at where WIM is heading in the near future.
As Weigh-In-Motion (WIM) systems grow in sophistication and accuracy, they are increasingly being used in more active roles to help ensure road safety through enforcement action against overweight vehicles.
Currently the capabilities of the latest-generation WIM systems are outstripping legislation but that situation is about to change in several nations and so enforcement action by WIM systems is likely to become a much more frequent occurrence within the next few years.
Intercomp, which describes itself as the world's largest manufacturer of portable weighing and measurement products, is certainly predicting a growing role for WIM in enforcement. The Minneapolis, Minnesota-based company's electronic wheel load scales are being used for commercial vehicle enforcement in 16 countries and 25 US states. One of those US states, Oregon, has collated static scale data downstream of the WIM site. The data, gathered between March and December 2016, will allow direct comparison of recorded WIM readouts and static gross vehicle weights (GVWs).
In Colorado, one site has both piezo-electric and Intercomp's strain gauge sensors in the same lane, with Canadian company IRD supplying the electronics. According to Intercomp market specialist Jon Arnold, the data on Class 9 (five-xle) trucks recorded over a period of some months shows a very high classification accuracy rate and no statistical difference between the sensors.
Intercomp plans to partner with IRD for a more extensive survey when the weather in the region improves in the spring. This will involve a calibrated truck travelling over both types of sensor to provide very precise evaluation. On the other side of the world, Intercomp has started selling products into China, for the authorities to evaluate.
IRD's equipment being used on a test site in Denmark looking at vehicle classes and wheel widths.
According to Arnold it is not unknown for a lorry that should have a maximum operating weight of 36.3tonnes (80,000lbs) to be found on Chinese roads weighing 68tonnes (150,000lbs). If enforcement standards to catch overloaded vehicles could be improved, he believes the authorities could structure tolls in such a way as to incentivise truck users not to overload their vehicles and to use two vehicles rather than one.
Kapsch TraffiCom is another company riding this wave of new technology and is expecting to see its products increasingly used for enforcement duties. The Vienna-based company has more than 40 WIM stations around the world, many of which use its high-speed sensors - especially in the US, says Stefan Daxberger, solutions manager for intelligent mobility services.
Currently, however, much of the company's effort goes into toll plazas as it is advocating the integration of WIM into plaza solutions.
"The next step we're focusing on is direct enforcement, similar to issuing a speeding ticket. As you pass the WIM site it will be automatically enforced." Equipment capable of handling these enforcement duties is undergoing, or has recently received, type approval in several countries and multiple nations are modifying laws to allow WIM to be used for these duties. He anticipates this will happen within the next two years.
"You need a legislative basis for dynamic weighing. The Czech Republic is the first country to have this law. It's just a question of timing of the tender and the rolling out of WIM stations," he says.
New laws are required because using WIM to handle enforcement duties will mean the authorities will require a high level of evidence 'on the record'. In the US, Kapsch has deployed a new, multifaceted WIM system that involves considerably more than just weight measurement. It combines ANPR with a sophisticated enforcement back office where a vehicle can be checked against local and national databases for factors such as valid licences and whether its insurance is up-to-date.
Daxberger has detected a trend towards authorities asking for direct enforcement capabilities in their new systems and the company is testing various arrangements of sensors to see which gives the best result.
Traditionally, static scales have been accurate to around 1% while dynamic scales have only been accurate to +/- 5%. "We have experience in our stations of getting to 2.5% and the aim is to get closer to the static level of 1%," says Daxberger.
Several authorities are testing multiple sensors or a combination of sensor technologies to improve accuracy.
In the US, meanwhile, high-speed WIM is increasingly being used for prescreening and diverting potential violators to a static weigh station, rather than for direct enforcement. There is definitely a trend towards WIM installations as opposed to static sites as the former become more accurate, says Arnold.
However, Terry Bergan, president and CEO of IRD points out that there are many laws entrenched in judicial codes – notably in North America – that demand a level of accuracy that only static scales can currently reach.
Other countries, such as Russia, China, Brazil, Vietnam and some Eastern European nations, on the other hand, are now looking at using high-speed WIM for enforcement. That could involve trucks moving at speeds of 40km/hr (25mph), with multiple sets of roadway sensors employed to give the required degree of accuracy.
That combination of a truck's dynamics, smoothness of the roadway and the accuracy of the sensor used for WIM make getting a really accurate result a complex equation, "but if you talk to the authorities, their number one concern right now is accuracy".
Adding to the problem was the fact that different sensors had different levels of reliability and mean times between failure.
Having solved the durability problem, improved accuracy is now the holy grail authorities are pursuing, added IRD's executive vice-president and COO Randy Hanson. Much research and development funding is being devoted to that search.
In terms of future trends, Bergan believed that tyre performance is coming under much more scrutiny, following the introduction by tyre manufacturers of high-pressure and/or wide-based tyres.
WIM is sensors embedded in the road surface while overhead the cameras detect the registration details. Pic Kistler Instrumente AG.
That opportunity would be even greater if those factors could be combined with greater accuracy, he says.
"I think we're one to two years away; some things are being validated at this point." That would come in the form of both 'tweaked' existing sensors and new developments, he believes.
"Authorities have a lot of existing installations and they're going to want to augment those with technologies that provide additional value," says Hanson. Completely new installations would follow later.
Behind a new generation of sensors would come improved processing and analytical capabilities because WIM also plays a big role in providing vital background data that will inform future transportation decisions.
"WIM systems are increasingly used as an integral part of complex ITS systems addressing the demand for traffic data in real time," notes Tomas Pospisek, EMEA sales manager Road & Traffic with measurement technology specialists Kistler Eastern Europe.
The basic need of WIM users such as road authorities, toll operators and weight enforcement agencies for quality, reliable data has not changed, says Pospisek and those requirements are increasing. Accuracy and identification systems are steadily improving. Direct enforcement by WIM, as well as toll-by-weight systems capable of working at highway speeds have become near-term trends, he says.

Enzo Champagne is founder of CHAMPAGNE! sparkling couture and is from Paris, France. He rezzed into Second Life on March 15, 2008 and sees this virtual world as an amazing platform full of creativity and cultures. Enzo was introduced to this virtual world by one of his real world customers. They had established a location within Second Life to introduce their famous brand. Curious; Enzo created an account, logged in, was fascinated, creating a brand of his own and never left.
SLE Buzz: What are three special things you wished everyone in SL knew about you and CHAMPAGNE!sparkling couture?
SLE Buzz:Can you tell SLE what inspired your involvement in the SL community?
Enzo: I didn't have the chance to create my brand in rl so sl gave me the opportunity to express myself there. Second Life gives me Freedom of creativity!
SLE Buzz: How would you describe your personal style in three words?
SLE Buzz: What have you learned about yourself in SL?
Enzo: About myself? Well, A lot of patience and concentration. Even if I like fairytales I have to be careful about people to trust or not. That's sad.
The problem is Fake people, hackers, copybotters, and griefers. These are people who like to play with feelings or make drama all the time to exist. They don't care about or have respect for the SL community.
SLE Buzz: Where do you like to shop?
SLE Buzz: What are your favorite places to visit in SL for entertainment?
SLE Buzz: What is your most memorable/funny moment?
SLE Buzz: What are your thoughts on the SL culture? What would you change to improve the quality of your experience?
Enzo: SL Culture… There are a lot of art events that I like to go to like the ones that Owl Braveheart organizes often. Also, there are Many magazines now. The community is very rich with media. It is good to see all what people can do in SL and photography creations too.
Ferosh magazine is amazing , Fashion teller is always exciting, L'homme Magazine is so great and BOSl magazine for sure is still a great reference for the SL community .
There are a lot of events happening at the Rose theatre and fashions shows are hosted by so many agencies like Penumbra or the Men fashion week. I love and run to Gacha or limitation sales like the Men's department, Kustom 9 or Collabor!
Besides fashion, there are very cool radio stations such as SL live Radio by Thorn Andel. When I tune in it makes me shaking my pixels while I work.
So yes with years a lot of culture were added by the people of Second Life and I hope it will continue to grow! However, There are a lot of technical glitches, crashing with viewers, limitations for meshes importations, number of prims linked, lag , limitations of exchanges and connection to marketplace which fails.
That's really the hell sometimes when you want to work.
SLE Buzz: Is there anything else you would like to share with our readers about you?
Enzo: Thanks for all the support I still have during these years. I hope to still make you happy.

CENTER VALLEY, Pa., February 28, 2018—Today Olympus announces a series of new firmware updates that are available immediately for several of its latest interchangeable lens cameras. The firmware upgrades include Version 2.0 for the flagship Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II, Version 3.0 for the Olympus PEN-F, and Version 4.0 for the Olympus OM-D E-M5 Mark II.
Olympus is dedicated to providing ongoing product functionality and performance improvements to deliver cameras that users can depend on long after their initial purchase. The latest firmware updates are designed to bolster Olympus's interchangeable lens cameras with the latest functionality, improved performance, and expanded creative options. Many of the firmware updates were implemented in response to users' requests.
For example, Firmware Version 3.0 for the PEN-F adds the ability to save the settings of the Monochrome and Color Profile Control from the user's computer onto the camera. Firmware Version 4.0 for the OM-D E-M5 Mark II adds the Focus Stacking function available on the OM-D E-M1 and E-M1 Mark II. In addition to these upgrades, videographers will now have access to the Look Up Table (LUT) file for the OM-D E-M1 Mark II and the OM-D E-M5 Mark II, allowing for advanced control and optimal color grading using DaVinci Resolve®.
Other new features include improved Pro Capture Mode functionality in the OM-D E-M1 Mark II's Firmware Version 2.0, while the PEN-F's Firmware Version 3.0 includes shading effects that were previously only available in Monochrome Profile Control and are now available in Color Profile Control and Color Creator.
Pro Capture Mode provides lag-free shooting so users can capture high-quality, full-resolution images at precise moments without compromise. Pro Capture buffers a running series of JPEG and RAW images when users press the shutter release halfway. With Firmware Version 2.0, the maximum number of pre-shutter frames that can be recorded once the shutter button is fully pressed has increased from 14 to 35.
Additionally, a new display icon shows users that they have initiated Pro Capture Mode and the camera is currently buffering frames.
All attachable lenses are now compatible with Pro Capture H (focus locks after first image is buffered).
Firmware Version 2.0 now allows the M.Zuiko Digital ED 12–100mm F4.0 IS PRO to support in-camera focus stacking. Additionally, seven other lenses support focus stacking, including the M.Zuiko Digital ED 8mm F1.8 Fisheye PRO, ED 30mm F3.5 Macro, ED 60mm F2.8 Macro, ED 300mm F4.0 IS PRO, ED 7–14mm F2.8 PRO, ED 12–40mm F2.8 PRO, and ED 40–150mm F2.8 PRO.
In response to feedback from Olympus users looking for a greater level of precision when choosing a specific AF target, Small AF Targets have been added to the single target (1-point) AF area.
Fisheye Distortion Correction is now available in-camera so that the M.Zuiko Digital ED 8mm F1.8 Fisheye PRO can be used as a wide-angle lens without the fisheye effect. Fisheye Correction effects can be viewed by the user in real time on the rear monitor or EVF before shooting.
Due to Olympus user feedback, pixel size display has been added to the magnification ratio options, making it possible to review images at a 1:1 pixel ratio.
The Flicker Scan function allows users to preview the scene and choose the proper shutter speed to avoid flickering, a phenomenon that is common when using the camera's electronic shutter under fluorescent or LED light sources.
AF response has been improved when using back-button focus AF settings with the AEL/AFL button.
IS performance has been improved when shooting video, enabling more natural camera work (IS-equipped lenses require simultaneously released firmware update).
Tethered shooting responsiveness and stability using Olympus Capture has been improved, providing an easier shooting workflow.
The remaining battery level icon has been fine-tuned.
It is now possible to save Monochrome and Color Profile Control settings in images recorded on the PEN-F to the camera via a computer. Using the latest Olympus Digital Camera Updater (Ver. 2.1), simply select the image with the profile you want to use and save the settings to the camera.
Due to popular demand, shading effects have been added to Color Profile Control and Color Creator for a wider range of photographic expression.
The Focus Stacking function available on the Tough TG-5 and OM-D E-M1 Mark II is now available on the OM-D E-M5 Mark II. The focus is shifted in half-pixel increments while capturing eight images, which are then composited to form a single image that is in focus from the foreground to the background. A total of eight lenses are supported (the same lenses supported by OM-D E-M1 Mark II Firmware Version 2.0).
The Bleach Bypass Art Filter included in the OM-D E-M10 Mark III (released in September 2017) is now available with these firmware updates. This option replicates the bleach bypass effect used to develop film creating images with a beautiful metallic sheen.
This firmware update improves the compatibility with the Panasonic LEICA DG ELMARIT 200mm/F2.8/POWER O.I.S. (H-ES200) interchangeable lens.
An LUT file is released for movies recorded in the movie-exclusive picture mode "Flat" with the OM-D E-M1 Mark II and E-M5 Mark II. This file converts recorded videos to BT.709 in DaVinci Resolve from Blackmagic Design Pty. Ltd. for color grading.
Stability of RAW file formation has been improved.
Addition of Underwater Picture Mode with control for white balance, exposure and flash compensation, aperture and shutter speed.


Attracted to the 'inherent integrity' of Forevermark diamonds, which pride themselves on their ethical and responsible sourcing, Mukherjee says the pieces in the new collection are "created to be truly modern heirlooms for the urban luxury seekers".
The collection comprises a range of enamelled drop earrings and vintage-style rings for men and women in yellow, rose and white gold, crafted with Forevermark diamonds.

Taymor's 'Midsummer Night's Dream' a Feast For the Senses
Directed by: Julie Taymor; Runtime: 145 minutes
The expectations one has for watching a taping of a theatrical play will likely vary from person to person, hinged on how they interpret the statement: "It's as if I were actually there". Does that mean the camera stays predominately static, as if they're an audience member who remains in their seat and has a clear, unbiased view of the stage? Or, does that mean that the point-of-view closely moves with the actors and concentrates on the nuances of their performances, enhancing the cinematic tempo by zooming in and revealing character details that might not be so readily visible during a stage performance? Other productions have attempted to blur the lines of cinema and authentic theatricality with handcrafted recordings tailored for media -- take Kenneth Branagh's wonderful hybrid version of Hamlet -- but they often find themselves tilting to one side or the other, either as too much movie or too much theater. Julie Taymor's screened rendition of A Midsummer Night's Dream is a game-changer in that regard, crafting visual allure and dramatic intimacy without sacrificing stage presence.
Taylor's run with A Midsummer Night's Dream lasted from October of 2013 to January of 2014 at Brooklyn's Theatre for a New Audience, utilizing a spacious yet intimate layout for the stage while retelling William Shakespeare's classic comedy of meddlesome spirits, young love, and a play-within-a-play. Hermia (Lilly Englert) has fallen in love with Lysander (Jake Horowitz), yet her father, Lord Egeus (Robert Langdon Lloyd), wishes for her to marry Demetrius (Zach Appelman); Helena (Mandi Masden), meanwhile, yearns for Demetrius. The complexities of their amorous affairs lead them to flee into the forest, to which they enter the domain of the fairies, especially that of Puck (Kathryn Hunter), servant to fairy-kind Oberon. Impishly, Puck contorts the desires of the young lovers, while also messing with the mentalities of workers in the midst of crafting a play for the stately wedding of Egeus and Hippolyta (Okwui Okpokwasili) … as well as with the headspace of Titania, Oberon's estranged queen. What ensues is a night of chaos, passion, and mischief that approaches realizations for all involved, while obscuring the line between reality and fantasy.
Those who have seen Julie Taymor's cinematic endeavors -- her award-winning biography Frida, her Beatles-driven homage Across the Universe, her prior Shakespearean efforts with Titus and The Tempest -- know that the language, inventiveness, and enthrallment of visuals are of chief importance to her. This transitions exceptionally well to her stage performance of A Midsummer's Night Dream: the costume designs for the fairy hierarchy reminds one of that textured, ornate, yet still sparse and effortless detailing from her Shakespeare films, though the enrapturement of the setting doesn't kick into gear until the characters venture into the woodlands. Once there, Taymor utilizes strategic lighting and the motion of those bamboo shoots, sometimes bathed in blue light and other times touched with almost-blacklight vivid greens and purples, to create a surprisingly alive, spellbinding setting. Both subtle and attention-drawing, the realignment and levitation of the woodland plays a pivotal role in the immersive properties of Taymor's environment.
In tone, tempo, and sporadic happenings, this A Midsummer Night's Dream evokes an attitude somewhat reminiscent of what a Cirque du Soleil performance of Shakespeare's comedy might look like without the circus-style feats of strength and agility, an infusion of modern and whimsical flourishes. Fittingly, Puck fills the role of a jesterly assistant to the forest's ringleader -- fairy king Oberon -- as the character prances between surreal imagery of sleeping spells, pillow fights, and prancing deer, embodied by Kathryn Hunter's entirely ambiguous and quirkily distinctive face-painted performance, one that'd fit in with the broadly animated characterizations of silent-era cinema. She bridges the gaps between such scenes involving subtle choreography of en pointe ballet dancers creating wilderness animals and an animatronic head bringing to life a donkey-human hybrid, elevating the fanciful nature of Shakespeare's gradient of love's turmoil with charismatic puppet-masters pulling the strings.
The intentions of A Midsummer Night's Dream hinge on both comedy and romanticism, but only one side of that emotional spectrum resonates in Julie Taymor's production, and it might not be the one you'd expect. Taymor directs her cast to telegraph their lines with fluid, almost contemporary comedic timing and staging, and their collective performances form into an updated, articulate, and genuinely humorous depiction of Shakespeare's zaniness, particularly underscored by Max Casella as the enthusiastic driving force behind the play-within-a-play's troupe of performers. While the rest of the cast members execute their characters with grace and power -- David Harewood is magnificent as a simmering, restrained Oberon; Tina Benko is a majestic Titania underneath her twisted blue dress and the small individual lamps shining on her face -- the dynamics of romance and sensuality are undermined by the younger cast members' lack of intimate chemistry with one another. Luckily, the fiery arguments that eventually erupt between them are another story, emphasizing where their rapport truly excels (and should ultimately excel), amplifying the foolhardiness of their affections in brave, funny clashes.
Shot by Oscar-nominated cinematographer Rodrigo Prieto and further scored by Oscar-winning composer Elliot Goldenthal, this taping of A Midsummer Night's Dream was specifically tailored by director Julie Taymor to accentuate her play's many strengths, which includes closely following actors as they move about the stage. Something unique and noteworthy occurs in the synergy created by the quality of the performances, the vivid production design, and the specificity of the camera's framing and focus upon the actors: Taymor gets her theatrical presentation to feel natural and movielike without deliberately avoiding the constraints of the stage and the often-embellished projection of the actors. Duller stretches in the two-and-a-half-hour span can only be helped so much by this; coupled with overtly "industrial" costume and set decoration, the scenes involving the craftsmanship of the play-within-a-play feel detached and lethargic against the ethereal happenings. Regardless, Taymor's custom recording of her Midsummer Night's Dream goes beyond making the audience feel like they're there.

Although the legislation has attracted criticism from groups such as the American Medical Association and American Cancer Association, House Republicans celebrated its passage as a legislative landmark achievement for the fledgling Trump administration.
Meanwhile, local organizations such as the Health Collaborative are trying to figure out exactly what the AHCA might mean for their patients. Like the Affordable Care Act, it's a complex and highly technical piece of legislation full of cross-references and provisions that could change radically between this passage and any final implementation -- but for now, said Rebecca Cochran, the people most affected will likely be those on Medicaid.
"The biggest changes are those to Medicaid, which is a large federal program that aids vulnerable populations.: Those who are elderly, poor, disabled. (The AHCA will be) virtually rolling back the Medicaid expansion that was the hallmark of the Affordable Care Act."
Here's what the men representing our area had to say about the bill's passage.
Chabot, who represents Cincinnati proper alongside Rep. Brad Wenstrup, voted to support the bill. He said in a statement that he believed the Affordable Care Act had entered a "death spiral" that prevented many Americans from accessing the care it was meant to provide.
"The House bill takes the power over health care decisions out of the hands of the bureaucrats in Washington and returns it to doctors and patients," he said. "Additionally, in the place of one-size-fits-all federal mandates, it gives states the ability, if they choose, to craft health care solutions that work better for local patients."
Wenstrup, who worked as a podiatrist and Army surgeon before entering politics, brought up his background in his own statement about his "yes" vote on the AHCA.
"As a doctor, I believe it would be malpractice to allow Obamacare to continue to crumble," he wrote. "It's time to get the ball rolling and send this bill to Senate."
WCPO reached out to Wenstrup for a comment on assertions (made by news outlets such as New York Magazine ) that the AHCA would negatively impact Americans with pre-existing health conditions -- including such 'conditions' as having been raped or abused, experiencing postpartum depression or having given birth via Caesarean section.
"Providing care for victims of violence, particularly those who have suffered sexual violence, must always be a priority," he said. "This bill treats all pre-existing conditions equally and makes sure states can only obtain a waiver if they have a federal or state high-risk pool in place to ensure patients with pre-existing conditions are able to get affordable coverage."
That's true, but Politifact wrote that it's less rosy a prospect in practice. Although an amendment to the AHCA specifies that insurers must provide some form of health coverage to people with pre-existing conditions, it does not place limits on the rates they may charge those people. It would therefore still be possible for people with pre-existing conditions to be priced out of being able to afford health coverage.
High-risk pools are meant to provide insurance for the very sick while keeping premiums low for their healthier counterparts, CNN reported , but are more expensive for the people they insure and can discourage enrollment via high costs and strict qualification guidelines.
"The history of high-risk pools demonstrates that Americans with pre-existing conditions will be stuck in second-class health care coverage -- if they are able to obtain coverage at all," Andrew W. Gurman, president of the American Medical Association, told CNN.
"Reforms to Medicaid, work requirements for able-bodied adults, and defunding Planned Parenthood are no small victories," Davidson wrote in a statement. "Americans are actively suffering under Obamacare and this bill brings much-needed and long-promised relief."
Davidson had a more terse response to questions about the possibility of abuse victims being denied care due.
"In typical Democrat fear-mongering fashion, they have ginned up another false claim about the American Health Care Act," Davidson responded. "The AHCA preserves current health care law regarding what is called 'guaranteed issue.' That means that Americans cannot be denied coverage because of pre-existing conditions."
The lone local dissenter was Northern Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie, a member of the ultra-conservative Freedom Caucus. Massie, a longtime advocate of large-scale government deregulation, wrote in a statement that the AHCA didn't go far enough and "falls far short of our promise to repeal Obamacare."
"This bill should have included measures that allow Americans to take charge of their own healthcare and get the government out of the way," he wrote.
His antipathy toward the bill isn't a recent development. He's called it a "stinking pile of garbage," and ahead of the first planned vote, he posted on Twitter that his vote wouldn't be a "yes" or a "no" -- it'd be a "Hell no," thank you.


There are nor recruiter that can fill every type of jobs. It is recommended to find recruiter that focus on the field that you interested. You may also want to have relationship with the recruiter with different geography as some recruiter just fill jobs in one city and others fills jobs in other places.
Always make yourself visible to the recruiter when they finding people to fill the position. There are some activities which you can make yourself visible to the recruiter which is presentation. Conduct a presentation about the company that you want to work and this can show your passion about the company to recruiter. Recruiter also will be more confident in recommend you to your desired company.
Once you in a process of working with recruiter, do not contact directly with the employer. This action is considering disrespect to your recruiter and will affect the relationship between both parties. Therefore, you should trust your recruiter through the process and have confident on them that they will help you to achieve your goal.
Do not straight away block all the contact from recruiter even after you get a job. You will never know when you will need your recruiter whether for job advice or new job recommendation. Try to have long term relationship with recruiter by giving some positive feedback and recommendation in order to help them to improve their services.

Niia & Gallant Duet In "Constantly Dissatisfied" Video
blame it on Meka April 10, 2018
Releasing her debut album, I, last summer, Boston-reared songstress Niia (pronounced NIGH-uh) returns with an update of her single "Constantly Dissatisfied." Now with Gallant in the passenger seat, that single gets a matching set of visuals.
Directed by Sasha Samsonova, the video explores a relationship that's moved past its prime. Watch below.
Speaking of Gallant, the singer recently dropped a video for his single "Gentleman," also directed by Sasha. That can be seen down bottom as well.

View looking south towards the Hellenistic City Gate. This main street of Perge, the cardo, was close to 985 ft. [300 m.] long. It ran from the nymphaeum on the north side of the city to the Hellenistic City Gate on the south side — the two towers of which are visible at the far end of the street.
On both sides of the street note the standing columns. Outside of them, were covered walkways and numerous shops. The sixty-five foot [20 m.] wide street is itself divided into two lanes by a six-foot [2 m.] channel (in the center of the image proceeding away from the viewer). Fresh water flowed though this channel along the whole length of the street — from the nymphaeum to the Hellenistic Gate. The barriers inside of this large channel (visible) must have created visual and audible "rapids-effect."
This street arrangement is very unique, although faint traces of a similar street arrangement are said to have been found at Pisidian Antioch.
For a modern example of such a watercourse (in Izmir) Click Here.
It is interesting that in the book of Revelation (22:1–2) the "New Jerusalem" is described as having ". . . a river of the water of life, clear as crystal, coming from the throne of God and of the Lamb, in the middle of its street." At Perge, the water, instead of coming from the throne of God, it comes from under a representation of "Cestrus" at the nymphaeum.

The Living Room provides free, abstinence based, addiction recovery support for all addictions. We support 447 people a year to achieve long term recovery from their addiction, whether it is a substance or behaviour dependency they have, to mask their feelings. Once people have committed to abstinence or may have received detox or treatment, we work in a person centred group, peer support, professionally facilitated 12-step therapeutic setting, to enable people to live their lives on life's terms. We work with the person to identify the root cause of their dependency and connect them within the community, arming them with tools to cope, whatever obstacles may present that could send them back to their addiction taking control of their lives. We support family and carers of people who suffer with addiction too, as people are part of a bigger network, that may have broken down.
We want to work with everyone in Hertfordshire that needs us, and those that need support the most usually don't have the financial means to get the aftercare or long term support they need. We love people, until they are connected enough to love themselves.
Addiction doesn't discriminate and neither do we. The Living Room believes everyone has potential and a life worth living.


to understand how the dysfunctions or the death of neurons and glial cells provoke neurological or psychiatric disorders such as motoneuronal diseases (ALS), spinal cord lesions (spasticity), executive control disorders (addictions, Parkinson's disease), cognitive and social development pathologies (autism, bipolar disorders, schizophrenia), or pathologies associated with stress (post-traumatic stress, depression).
All INT teams are affiliated to the neuroscience master's program and can thus train neuroscience master's students and offer them projects to apply for a Ph.D. scholarship.
The INVIBE team investigates the processing of different visual information and their integration to control eye movements in both humans and monkeys. Several levels of processing are tackled, from low-level mechanisms of visual motion processing up to contingent integrative stages taking into account decision-making and attention. Different levels of approaches are behavior, neurophysiology (electrophysiology, inactivation, fMRI) and theory (probabilistic models). INVIBE is therefore highly interdisciplinary. INVIBE has been labeled FRM team in 2018 and is supported by national (ANR, Foundations) and international (H2020) funding programs.

Research projects focus on 3 main areas.
● Dynamic neural processes for sensorimotor adaptation: We use functional connectivity measures to study how sensorimotor adaptation processes influence interregional communication at the macroscopic scale.
● The principles of coordination of movements between effectors: We seek in particular to analyze the neurophysiological processes involved in predictive mechanisms for hand-eye coordination.
● Sensorimotor network dynamics signatures at the neuronal level: We combine high density neuronal recordings in several areas or cortical layers to explore the nature of neuronal interactions during the performance of complex visual motor tasks.
The team characterizes in vivo at the cellular scale the dynamics of neuroinflammatory processes involved in mouse models of neuropathologies (brain tumors, multiple sclerosis, CNS trauma) and their consequences on neuronal activity and plasticity.
We develop, integrate and use innovative nonlinear optical technologies to image the dynamic cellular composition of the central nervous system and the calcium activity in neurons. Having established a triple fluorescent mouse model to simultaneously visualize neurons in blue, activated microglia in yellow and peripheral inflammatory cells in green (granulocytes/monocytes), simultaneous CARS (Coherent Anti-Stoke Raman Spectroscopy) microscopy gives us access to the endogenous contrast generated by myelin around axons. Genetically encoded GCAMP probes report intracellular calcium, while an original implanted glass window technique allows us to re-imagine the same region of interest on the same animal, over times ranging from minutes to several weeks.
These methods allow us to study the evolution of the CNS under control conditions and to evaluate the effect of anti-inflammatory treatment or genetic manipulations. Finally, we explore the impact of electrical stimulation of the pathological environment to modulate inflammation and promote tissue healing/repair.

We study the functional organization of neural circuits in the spinal cord both in development and in pathological conditions (i.e. spinal cord injury (SCI)). One of the other exciting challenge of the team relies on identifying the upstream mechanisms of the pathophysiology of spasticity to develop effective, tolerable and minimally invasive treatment. We use a broad technical approach involving electrophysiology, biochemistry, imaging, anatomy, optogenetics and genetics to address three major questions: What are the mechanisms underlying the pacemaker activities of the rythmogenic locomotor network ? How does the plateau properties emerge in motoneurons ? What are the anatomical and functional mechanisms underlying spasticity after SCI and how to transfer our findings into clinical applications at the bedside ?

Our team studies the properties of spinal neurons in contact with the CSF (CSF-cNs) and aims at demonstrating their function in the mammalian CNS under physiological and pathological conditions.
To answer this question, we are developing different transgenic mouse models that we study using a wide spectrum of complementary techniques (histology, electrophysiology, calcium imaging and optogenetics) and preparations (acute slices, 'en bloc' and in vivo preparation).
More recently, we are developing preparations in non-human primates and humans to study the properties of CSF-cNs.

One of the key properties of sensory cortical areas is their organization into topographic maps. Along the visual system hierarchy, low-level features such as position and orientation, but also higher-level features, such as shape or movement, are represented topographically on the cortical surface. Thus, a local and oriented stimulus will activate precise cortical columns within the orientation and retinotopic maps.
However, under natural conditions, the local features composing the visual scene are numerous, dynamic and distributed at different spatio-temporal scales, sometimes generating ambiguous or illusory perceptions.
How such dynamic inputs are processed at different stages of the visual system to result in a robust and fast encoding of the visual scene? NeOpTo's working hypothesis is that cortico-cortical interactions dynamically shape the processing and representation of visual stimuli within these maps. To test this hypothesis we use convergent approaches of experimental measurement of cortical activity at micro and mesoscopic scales, but also of technological and theoretical development. Understanding how the visual world is represented in cortical maps also has clinical consequences, for example to improve the functioning of retinal prostheses.

In neurons, the axonal initial segment (AIS) is the checkpoint between the somatodendritic and axonal compartments, ensuring final integration of dendritic inputs, generation of action potentials, and ultimately the maintenance of the neuronal polarity. The molecular organization of the AIS involves structural components like ankyrin G (ankG) and betaII and betaIV spectrin. Several convergent studies reveal that ANK3, the gene encoding for ankG, can be considered as a high psychiatric risk factor gene. The ankG scaffolding complex concentrates voltage-gated sodium channels Nav1, potassium channels Kv7.2/Kv7.3 cell adhesion molecules (NF-186 and NrCAM), and Kv1 in certain types of neurons. AIS organization also requires intracellular connections between ankG scaffold and the AIS microtubules through End Binding proteins and the actin cytoskeleton. While AIS ion channels support short-term plasticity, recent studies revealed that the entire AIS is capable of homeostatic plasticity through an activity–dependent change of its positioning along the proximal axon. The general objective of AP2 project consists in deciphering the complex interactions between AIS components for a better understanding of the mechanisms involved in AIS maintenance and integrity during development, and to explore potential defects of these mechanisms in the physiopathology of psychiatric disorders.

Is The DURHERM Portable Folding SPA Home Steam Sauna As Convenient As Advertised?
From first impressions, the production description for the DURHERM Portable Folding SPA Home Steam Sauna for Detox Therapy Slimming Weight Lose is actually a little vague.
It does a lot to inform potential buyers about the benefits of this sauna and all the rejuvenating effects that they can enjoy from using it – such as a strengthened cardiovascular system, the removal of toxins and general weight loss. But it doesn't do much to talk about the way in which it does this.
There is the tag line that it "comes with everything you need to set up and use immediately", but what is in this kit and what benefits are buyers really noticing.
What benefits have buyers seen when using this Portable Home Steam Sauna?
A closer look at the contents list further down the page shows that the kit consists of nothing more complicated than a steam generator, hose, diffuser and the tent.
This model is meant to be a convenient, easy-to-use space saver model, with the added promise that the frame can be set up in minutes and that the only things that need to be provided are the seat, towel and water. Users like that it can be folded up for storage and there doesn't seem to be any problem with the assembly or the ease of use.
The thing that most users are keen to talk about is the fact that is really does seem to work. There are people that love the way that they feel after using this DURHERM sauna, and it seems that the health claims at the start of the sales pitch are actually true.
It really does make people sweat – although some might say that it is a little too hot for their liking – and people feel rejuvenated, chilled out and generally healthier for using it.
Are there any problems with this DURHERM Portable SPA Steam Sauna that buyers need to watch out for?
The biggest issue with this product seems to be the lack of quality control in the manufacture of this product and the use of materials.
Some feel that the parts used are a little cheap and flimsy, which doesn't give them much confidence about long term use, while others have pointed out that the tent is a little thin and the head hole is not in an optimal position.
Summary: how does this issue affect the final verdict on this DURHERM Portable Sauna?
This tent sauna is designed to be so simple to use and so accessible that anyone can set it up in their home and feel the benefits. For the most part, buyer feedback for this model seems to suggest that this is true.
There is a lot of love for the impact that this system has on the health and wellbeing of users and there are many people recommending it to friends and family because it works so well with such little need for installation or difficult settings.
There may be some issues with the quality, control and it is a little cheap in places, but many buyers find the DURHERM steam sauna works well enough for their needs without getting too complicated.

Hello & Welcome my Fellow Fashionistas!!!
We'll never tire of our black and grey pants, but every so often a new trouser style appears on the scene that compels us to switch up our daytime uniform. That's why when you pick up polka dot pants for your everyday life, you'll definitely get more attention to yourself. So wanna be eye-catching? Then you need these printed pants for sure.
I think polka dot print is one of the famous patterns and it'll never go out of fashion. If you look at fashion history, you'll see polka dot print in every fashion decade starting from the 1930-1940s. Today every fashionista around the world wears polka dot clothes and creates adorable looks. So now it's your turn to make a perfect outfit with polka dot pants!
Of course before you start to combine these printed pants with other clothes, you should decide what type of pants you need to wear to look incredible (even if you wanna just go shopping with friends). There are skinny, wide leg, cuffed ones, culottes, etc. And yes, as always, the choice of pants depends on your body type, your wish and fashion trends. After that choose colours of your pants: if you create office looks, pay your attention to classic colour combinations with white or cream polka dots on dark shade backgrounds such as black, blue or brown; but if you wanna make funny summer casual outfits, pick up bright colours, for example, pink, light blue, green or yellow.
No matter what colour your pants will be, they look absolutely gorgeous with a white classic button down shirt or a simple t-shirt. You can pick up high-waisted pants and tuck your shirt into it, or you can find loose blouse and put on it over your trousers. Don't be afraid to mix various prints or pair clothes with almost the same polka dot patterns. All ways will be cool if you also add right accessories.

Q: What did the duck say when she went to buy lipstick? A: Put it on my bill.
The expression "put something on my bill" means to charge something to one's account. The duck wanted to pay for the lipstick later. A second meaning of "bill" is the mouth of a bird, which is where a duck would wear her lipstick.

Q: Relational table copy with transformation in most generic way ( declarative rules and etc... ) - Microsoft sandpit I guess, it is quite common task.  There is a table A let's say in Visual Foxpro and needs to be transformed to table B in SQL Server 2008.
Operation is going to be repetitive. Column names may be changed , some input columns dropped , column types may be changed ( string <=> int ), some output columns generated ( GUID , identity ) . Also normalization may happen where input table results in 2 joined with pivot table - let's drop this case for simplicity
I know about SSIS existence , probably there are scripts which can do what I described ?
I've already written C# program which reads XML ( snippet below ) and  does mapping and out key generation but just thought whether all that -  another wheel reinvention.
  <Tables>
    <Table inTbl="A" outTbl="B">
      <Keys>
        <Key name="it_pk" type="GUID">
      </Keys>
      <Mappings>
        <Column inCol="hxkey" outCol="it_tariff"  />
        <Column inCol="txt" outCol="it_description" />
        <Column inCol="uq1" outCol="it_uq1" />
        <Column inCol="date1" outCol="it_startdate" />
        <Column inCol="date2" outCol="it_stopdate" />
      </Mappings>
    </Table>
  </Tables>

A: This is pretty much exactly what SSIS is designed for, however it's not as "generic" as your current system, but it's very easy to set up what you've described.
You have a control flow and a data flow. Your control flow can contain many data flows (e.g. sync table A, then B, then C) and other tasks (e.g. move files, iterate, custom scripts).
In your data flow you define your source, destination and transformations. Your source can be pretty much anything. Then, you can do derived columns and change data type tranformations to do what you've described. Then your destination takes the transformed data (e.g. SQL table, SQL insert statement, SQL update statement)
This is done using Visual Studio, and I reckon you could knock out a simple package to sync two tables in 5 minutes. Then, you can schedule it using SQL agent.
This is called ETL btw (extract, transform, load) in case you wanted to evaluate other options, but I think SSIS would fit nicely.

A: In addition to the excellent answer above, SSIS is a good platform for implementing programmatic solutions in this space even if the Visual Studio package designer tools aren't appropriate.
Actually the platform is more flexible and better finished than the Visual Studio tools built on top of it.
