The Beach, Drangsnes, Iceland; By Börkur Sigthorsson
Posted In Photo of the Month
By © Börkur Sigthorsson
Icelandic filmmaker and photographer, Börkur Sigthorsson has inspired the visions behind Nikita, Nike, Honda and numerous celebrity and fashion shoots, all while nurturing his personal artistic pursuits. In January 2010, Börkur made his long-awaited debut in the contemporary art world with Blythe Projects | Los Angeles in association with the MOCA Contemporaries. In his uniquely energetic and poignant style, Börkur reveals the deeper emotional and psychic landscape of his subjects.
The Beach series was shot on Drangsnes, a remote peninsula on the West Fjords of Iceland. Leaving Reykjavik on a borrowed bus, Borkur and his team of ten arrived on location at 3am. Fatigue and weather conditions promptly found the bus lodged in a ditch and the team decided to catch a few hours of sleep. Waking to wind and snow, Borkur could only shoot in short bursts before the young women turned purple. A geothermal pool was a fortunate discovery as it kept the team warm during the frigid shoot.
A local farmer was another fortunate break, as Borkur still had the bus and the treacherous mountain roads to contend with. Retrieving his tractor, the farmer pulled the bus from ditch and hauled it over the mountain pass to a herring factory that moonlighted as an inn. However, in the process both vehicles were severely damaged. Borkur, his team, the farmer and the innkeeper made the best of the situation with mounds of pasta and wine.
One year later, Borkur made his final payment toward damages on both vehicles. Six years later, Borkur unveiled The Beach.

Westchester County Criminal Attorney
Vehicular Manslaughter is a felony which is charged when intoxicated and drug impaired drivers cause the death of others. Before June 8, 2005, in order to charge someone with Vehicular Manslaughter, the District attorney's Office had to be able to establish criminal negligence to prove Vehicular Manslaughter, but this requirement was repealed. If you or a loved one is charged with Vehicular Manslaughter or another serious crime, contact the Westchester County Criminal Defense lawyers at the Law Office Of Mark A.

Operate a more than 18,000 gross weight motor vehicle with flammable, radioactive or explosive materials in the vehicle and the cause of death is related to the flammable, radioactive or explosive materials; or
Operate a snowmobile or ATV while intoxicated or impaired by drugs, or a combination of both, and cause the death of another person by the operation of that snowmobile or ATV.
Vehicular Manslaughter in the First Degree, which is a Class C Felony under Section 125.13 of the New York State Penal Law, is charged when the person commits the crime of Vehicular Manslaughter in the Second Degree and either:
Commits the crime with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.18 or above (at which level the District Attorney can charge Aggravated Driving While Intoxicated);

Has a previous conviction for DWI within the preceding 10 years;

MAN of the moment!
MAN Automotive (South Africa) had an excellent 2020. And the company's new managing director, Oliver Klein, is banking on an even more successful 2021. He tells CHARLEEN CLARKE that the number one spot is his goal …
German-born Klein has had a long and diverse career path at MAN. "After studying mechanical engineering in Germany, I started my career within the commercial environment at MAN in 1996 as a trainee workshop manager. From 2009 until my current position as MD in South Africa, I took over various responsibilities within the retail environment, namely sales, after-sales and TopUsed, achieving over 3 000 trucks, 300 buses and 1000 TopUsed units sold each year during my time as the head of the region, South-West Germany," he tells FOCUS.
His current role is his most demanding but also potentially his most fulfilling. "MAN Automotive (South Africa) is one of the most diverse national sales organisations within the MAN Group. South Africa has two production facilities, an own retail and private capital network, a fully functional Parts Distribution Centre and a diverse product range, namely MAN & Volkswagen. We don't only operate within South Africa, but we also have responsibilities within our neighbouring countries," Klein reveals.
Naturally, the timing of his appointment comes with its fair share of challenges. The South African economy is far from buoyant and the pandemic is still very much with us. But Klein isn't unduly concerned. "For me, this is a new challenge, but South Africa has a very strong team, which has done an exceptional job when it comes to steering the company during the first 12 months of the Covid pandemic. This is thanks to strong partnerships – not only within the organisation but also with our loyal customers," he says.
Klein notes with considerable pride that 2020 was an excellent year for MAN Automotive. "We had a remarkable year in 2020 – despite the well-documented challenges. We are particularly proud of our net sales volumes, which came from our premium TG product range, as well as our market leadership in the bus and coach segment. We are humbled by the fact that our customers rated us the best performing European OEM in the competitive customer satisfaction index (CSI) during the second half of 2020. This enabled us to achieve our best extra-heavy truck market share since 2006.
Oliver Klein has been appointed managing director of MAN Automotive (South Africa). He is very upbeat about prospects for the company.
"I thank our customers for their vote of confidence in our brand and team. I would also like to thank all of our people who delivered on our vision – despite unprecedented challenges."
And that team certainly won't be resting on its laurels. "We want 2021 to be the most successful year ever for our current TG product range. Team MAN will continue moving towards its vision of being the first choice in transportation for our customers," Klein says.
Of course, one development that certainly won't harm the company in its quest for success is the launch of the reigning International Truck of the Year in South Africa. "We are very excited to be introducing the TG3, 2021 International Truck of the Year, to our market and customers! This all-new vehicle makes it abundantly clear why MAN's TGX is the International Truck of the Year for 2021," he enthuses. A new Volkswagen commuter bus range will also make its debut in South Africa.
Klein has high hopes for these new products and for the company in general. "We will also focus on our telematics drive, ProfiDrive and exciting tailor-made repair and maintenance solutions across the range," he reveals.
One of the reasons for his optimism is his team. "MAN Automotive (South Africa) has a very strong team; we have superior products, and are close to our customers, thanks to our extensive dealer network."
The local production facilities, he says, are also invaluable. "Having our own bus and coach facility has proven over the years to be a vital tool in our market leadership within the bus sales segment."
And he wants nothing less than the number one position – irrespective of whether one is talking buses or trucks. "The future looks bright for MAN in 2021 and beyond. We will continue with our drive to be number one within the truck sales segment as well as maintaining our bus market leadership within the South African markets. We have strong relationships with our customers; this has been proven by our excellent CSI results. I am extremely proud to be a member of the MAN team in South Africa, building strong relationships with customers and I look forward to many successes together in this beautiful country."
We wish Klein and his team all success in our country!

The accompanying Aperture publication, Muse: Mickalene Thomas Photographs, is the first to gather together her various approaches to photography, including portraits, collages, Polaroids, and other processes.
The idea of communities of inspiration will be further carried out via tête-à-tête, an installation of work from photographers and key images that have inspired Thomas. This will include those from older generations of artists, including Malick Sidibé and Carrie Mae Weems, to those by more contemporary artists, such as Deana Lawson, Zanele Muholi, and LaToya Ruby Frazier, who are part of Thomas's generation or younger, and may in turn find inspiration in Thomas's own practice. The artist will curate this portion of the exhibition.

Q: How to upgrade Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Console without upgrade the database version itself? Maybe the question is not so clear.
I'm not sure about the relations of these Oracle's components.
We have an Oracle 11g with an OEM dbconsole on it.

*

*Is dbconsole and databse control are actualy the same thing?

*Since Adobe Flash EOL arrived at 31.12.2020 we want to upgrade our EM product to 13.4
Is EM database console (or database control?) depends the version of the database itself?
The only information about upgrading of OEM is for cloud control.
Thank you.

A: If you are using "EM express" (the cut down version that comes with the database), then yes, you need a later version of the DB to get the later version of EM express.
Alternatives are to use full blown OEM, but if that is not feasible, I would look at just using the DBA facilities in SQL Developer or SQL Developer Web (available via ORDS).

April 9 Update | Welcome to Little Gull Marina!
A gorgeous April day at the lake. As you can see there is still lots of ice. The water level continues to rise so it is pulling away from the shores, please be careful around the shorelines. The frost is starting to come out of the ground with the warm sun in the afternoons now so the roads are starting to soften up as well. We are getting busy, busy now so if there is any extras you would like to get done give us a call early. Thanks and enjoy the weekend!


The same week as his album release, Samo Sound Boy will be touching down at Bardot in Miami on May 2 for a special performance. Chicago journalist Dave Quam has described his music as "weird, banging and beautiful." In other words, it's just the kind of sound that has made Bardot so beloved among forward-thinking music aficionados. Supporting him are Bag Raiders, JBZ and Dude Skywalker.

Q: npm: missing transitive dependencies in node_modules I have two local npm projects, A and B.
Let's say A depends on react and has it listed as a dependency in the package.json file. I use npm link to make A available for B.
B depends on A and react. I use npm link A to use the local version of A. However, as I know that A already depends on react, I do not include react in my package.json file of B.
When I call npm install I would expect npm to include transitive dependencies in the node_modules folder. However, I cannot find react in it nor can I use it in B's code as long as I don't include the transitive dependency in B's own package.json file.
When I include other modules like react, I also get transitive dependencies like fbjs or encoding resolved into my node_modules folder.
So, where is the mistake? / Why are the dependencies of A not included in B's node_modules folder?

A: I got the same behaviour with npm 5.6. After a downgrade of npm to 4.6 version, "npm install" ran right. After this I figured out the problem was a package-lock.json committed by a teammates of mine and not synchronized to package.json

One of the most common questions I get from visitors to New York is which museums are worth visiting (answer: all) and where to grab lunch or a drink and just generally recoup nearby.
With The Whitney's new location in prime Chelsea, it may seem odd that my recommended pairing is a ten minute walk to the north. After all, there's The Standard up the block with drinks on the roof; the Jane offers much of the same, the west village has millions of options, and, well, Danny Meyer's Untitled is literally in the museum.
But something about having spent the day in a wash of colors and ideas and crazy images makes you want an environment that's beautiful in its own right.
Alta Linea, located at The High Line Hotel on 10th Ave., is decidedly lovely. An Italian restaurant from the folks that created dell'anima , it's luxe Italian set in a twinkling garden cunningly hedged in from the avenue.
The crowd is by turns banker-esque, international, and vaguely actor-ish. Groups celebrate birthdays under umbrellas, and pairs of men loosen their ties and debate the merits of another g&t.
Bougie it may be, but It's certainly never boring. Regardless: the real reason you are here is not the clientele, but their magical slushie maker, churning out perfect glasses of frozen negroni after negroni. Just sweet enough and bitter enough, it is the perfect post-culture drink.
And if you were wise enough to make it to the museum in the morning? The hotel's lobby has a tiny cafe with full Intelligentsia offerings, so pull up an arm chair and rejoice.
Bonus tip: after a drink (or two), fight your way through tourists eating outdated food at Chelsea Market (just a few minute's walk back towards the museum) and find your way to Los Tacos no. 1. The carne adobada is incredible, the salsas fiery, and the aguas frescas sweet. Some of the best fast Mexican in the city, and you won't even notice that you're standing in front of an Anthropologie, covered in guacamole.

Supresa and his wife, Trythina, live in Nelspruit, South Africa where they are the directors of Iris Africa. He began following the Lord at the age of 15 when he was dramatically called by God to leave everything behind, follow Jesus and preach the Gospel where he went. In 1997, God sovereignly connected Surpresa (which means Surprise) with Heidi and Rolland Baker of Iris Global. Surpresa now serves as the International Director of Pastors for Iris where he helps oversee the rapidly spreading revival in southern Africa.

Around the Trust
UPDATE: Murdock Trust Office Access During COVID-19 Pandemic
Quarterly Grants Reports
As part of our orientation for new staff, we had the opportunity to travel and meet with nonprofit leaders from a variety of sectors. This is a practice we follow because it provides critical context for every member of our organization. Each visit helps bring the mission of our nonprofit partners to life in a way no application or report ever could. It helps us begin with our partnership in mind. It keeps the challenges they face and the context of their work front and center.
One of the great joys of my role with the Murdock Trust, as well as for our program directors and grants staff, is building relationships with nonprofits over an extended period because we get to see the fruit of their labor and creativity and the amazing ways good is being done across our community. In fact, recent data from the UN shows that human development has rapidly improved around the world over the last 30 years. Anecdotally and statistically, we see the same sort of improvement taking place across the Pacific Northwest as well.
We get to see nonprofits grow from an idea formed by one passionate individual to a thriving organization deeply rooted in the fabric of their community. We get to see organizations flourish from the support of hundreds and thousands of individual donors and volunteers. We get to see entire communities uplifted by tireless, purposeful and thoughtful service.
At our most recent grants meeting, our Trustees evaluated dozens of proposed projects that could have this same level of impact, both from groups we have worked with many times over the years as well as groups who are brand new to Murdock. Our board was pleased to approve 58 grants approved totaling $14.7 million in funding for projects across Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington in the arts and culture, scientific research, education and health and human services sectors, a sampling of which can be found below. But we also know that the grants we make are only a small piece of the puzzle.
At the end of the day, it takes dedicated individuals willing to invest their time, resources and their livelihood in support of a mission. It takes leaders who can inspire others to get involved and act. It takes vision to identify solutions that truly address challenges for long term success as well as addressing the unexpected challenges that come far too frequently.
The Murdock Trust, along with a number of our peer foundations, was fortunate to be able to honor a handful of these individuals recently as we partnered with Sagacity Media and Portland Monthly Magazine to host "Connecting for Good," an event that celebrates nonprofit leaders in the Portland area and seeks to build connections among the philanthropic leaders, emerging nonprofit organizations and their teams.
The event is one element of a broader collaboration between the Murdock Trust, Sagacity Media and their publications such as Portland Monthly and Seattle Met that have a long history of celebrating and uplifting the work of nonprofits serving the Oregon and Washington communities. We are grateful to be partner with groups like Portland Monthly and Seattle Met that are using their platforms to shine a light on the positive work underway in our region and help identify and support ways we can work together to bring more of these important efforts to the forefront of our community conversation.
To all of our partners working to serve the common good, we say thank you for all that you do to see our neighborhoods, our communities and our region flourish and thrive!

It happens to everyone: you go into your cabinet and pull out a loaf of bread to find a green fuzzy spot on one of the slices. You'll probably do one of two things. Either you cut off the moldy part and eat it anyway or just throw it out.
According to the USDA, mould can cause allergic reactions or respiratory problems and certain kinds of molds produce poisonous mycotoxins that make people sick or cause infections. Invisible bacteria can also grow alongside mould, which makes it even more dangerous to consume.
Even though you should definitely toss your moldy bread in the trash, there are a four types of foods you can still eat as long as you cut off the mould, according to the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service.
Hard salami and dry-cured country hams are OK to eat if they seem a bit moldy.
It is also normal for dry-cured hams to develop some surface molds. As long as you scrub the mould off your cured ham, it is safe to eat.
Molds have a harder time growing roots in dense foods, so if you cut off at least 1 inch around the spot of mould, you should be fine to eat your firm fruits and vegetables. Just make sure to keep the knife out of the mould to avoid cross-contaminating your produce.
As long as you cut off at least 1 inch around the moldy spot and re-cover the cheese in a clean wrapping, your hard cheeses should be safe to eat.
If your softer cheeses like Brie or Camembert grow mould, you should throw them away. For harder cheeses like Gorgonzola or Stilton, you can cut off at least 1 inch around the moldy spot and keep eating it.
Peanut butter, legumes, and nuts are at risk for dangerous molds.
Foods that are made without preservatives, like nuts and legumes, have a higher risk of developing mould and those molds are more likely to produce dangerous toxins.
The mould that grows in jams or jellies could be producing a mycotoxin, so even if you scooped out the mould, you're still at risk of consuming poisonous toxins. Instead, you should just throw out your moldy jams.

Q: creating and index counting rows by criteria based on previous rows I am attempting to calculate an index by a grouping construct that must refer to previous rows in a travel survey dataset.  I cannot figure out a proper construct of query to obtain what I am after and would like help from the community.  My travel dataset is in the form below except the TRIPNUM column, and I would like to get the TRIPNUM Column to be like this, or if it is easier like TRIPNUM2:
UniqueID,       PersonID,   PlaceType,  PlaceTpyeInt, TravelMode, TRIPNUM, TRIPNUM2
6001,           600,        Home,       0,            None,       0,       0
6002,           600,        Store,      4,            Car,        1,       1
6003,           600,        Home,       0,            Car,        0,       1
6004,           600,        Store,      4,            Car,        2,       2
6005,           600,        Store,      4,            Car,        2,       2
6006,           600,        Home,       0,            Car,        0,       2
6011,           601,        Home,       0,            None,       0,       0
6012,           601,        Store,      4,            Car,        1,       1

...etc.
What I am having trouble with is how to create the criteria necessary to:

*

*Count trips as separate instances of the survey respondent leaving and returning home

*Count multi-stop trips as the same trip

*Reset the TRIPNUM when changing to the next survey respondent (i.e. PersonID)

Is it necessary to write a iterative function to do this, or is there a way to refer to the previous row, check to see if it is the same PersonID, and then assign it a value based on the previous row's TRIPNUM?
UPDATE:  I have tried implementing this code construct but am not sure this is the correct looping construct to loop over rows by unique personid

Use the following as a sketch for how to identify your trip starting and ending points; depending on the indexing (whether it starts at 0 or 1) you may need to flip the trip_start logic.
Once you have the logic to identify starting and ending points, it shouldn't be too hard to create a master table of trip starting points where you define the trip numbers partitioned by person, join it to the corresponding trip ending points so each record is one trip with both starting point and ending point defined in the record, and then join to the original table one last time on uniqueID > startingPoint and uniqueID <= endingPoint to grab all of the stops in the trip,

October 5 on 5 is already here! Wow! Where is this year going? September was a long, but fast month. We were so busy as always. The boys have adjusted to school well, which I'm thankful for. My oldest loves to read and my youngest loves to color. Hopefully they continue down a good path.
We did find time to go to the apple orchard this month past month. Unfortunately it started to rain when we actually started to pick apples. Luckily, we still came home with two bags worth. The rain stopped and we were able to do the corn maze before leaving. This is one of my favorite mazes. All the boys, including my husband, map it out so we hit every point and they have so much fun!
Below are my 5 I chose for this month. Follow our blog circle by checking out Leanne's October 5 on 5!

After years in football rags, off the NFL's main stage, Miami could be headed for a top-hat-and-tails kind of season.
There is no consensus on that, of course. Right now it's all conjecture based on an offseason, a draft, a training camp and a couple of exhibition games. It's guesswork based on glimpses and hints. The optimism that most Dolfans dare to feel these days seems well founded, though. The feeling is fragile and held nervously, yes, like rare porcelain. Everything could fall and shatter. But entering Saturday's third preseason game and home debut against Atlanta, there is reason to believe — and that's enough for now.
That belief was fed this week. Expectations puffed up a bit as PredictionMachine.com, a respected website, pegged Miami a playoff team in its annual NFL preview based on its computers playing every game in the season 50,000 times to determine the most likely outcomes.
The Dolphins were given a 4.8 percent chance to win the Super Bowl, which might sound modest but is the sixth-best likelihood in a 32-team league, trailing only Green Bay (17.1 percent), Seattle (14.8), Indianapolis (13.2), Denver (11.0) and Philadelphia (5.1). Defending Super Bowl champion New England, the Dolphins' AFC East nemesis, was put at 3.4 percent, although that was based on quarterback Tom Brady's four-game "Deflategate" suspension, which could be overturned in federal court.
More significant, to me: Miami is given better than a 50 percent chance to win in 13 of its 16 regular-season games. And it's better than 55 percent in 10 of those games.
That guarantees nothing, but it is a further indication that the good feeling so many Dolfans are hesitant to admit might be justified.
After an offseason of positive change, including a revamped passing game and the addition of dominating, top-tier defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, the starting units have played very well even as the Fins have gone 0-2 in exhibitions.
Tannehill is a spot-on 18 for 22 in limited action, despite missing left tackle Branden Albert and No. 1 draft pick receiver DeVante Parker, both of whom should be ready soon. And the defense with Suh out there already has shown signs of dominance.
Now, Saturday, we see much more.
The third preseason game typically is the one in which the starters play at least the full first half and maybe into the third quarter. It is the closest we get to a proper dress rehearsal.
There was some talk this week Tannehill should sit out Saturday's game, that Miami should "rest" him.
That's a bad idea. For starters, Tannehill just turned 27, had an offseason off and played sparingly the past two games. If he needs a rest already, we're all in trouble.
What he needs far more than a rest is more live game action working with his offensive line, with his new receiving corps and against an opposing defense going full speed. You don't play scared in this league. You don't sit guys for fear of an injury, or second-guess playing them if one should occur.
Third exhibitions are meant to showcase who and where you are as a team and to build confidence as you near the regular season — and franchises that last made the playoffs in 2008 and last won a postseason game in 2000 have no default claim to confidence. It must be collected. Grown. Earned.
Miami fans will have a chance Saturday to get a first look at the ongoing massive refurbishing of Dolphins stadium at the same time they get a first live look at the refurbished team playing there.
So why should Tannehill and Miami's first units play a lot Saturday and place importance on winning for the first and only time this preseason?
Justifying their fans' optimism would be nice, but that isn't the main reason. Neither is turning around the many media experts who still doubt this team.
The main reason for a big show and statement Saturday isn't for the Dolphins to convince others how good they are.
It is to convince themselves.

It's taken a bit of a while, but the Berlin Phil's Digital Concert Hall service has now been turned into a Smart TV app.
I only discovered the development by chance when I browsed the brochure for the forthcoming season; a reminder that print sent in the post remains a powerful way to have a positive impact especially when physical mail is sporadic and underwhelming.
It's a welcome development. As a potential subscriber I like the way the Digital Concert Hall keeps the live streaming experience separate from YouTube (where I experience most other live streams), setting expectations high with performances from an internationally-renowned orchestra.
Signing-up is swift too – one very clear on-screen prompt directing me to use another device to input a unique PIN. After that the page on-screen updates automatically. Then its one click to watch Beethoven 3 for free. Setting up a login automatically grants me a free 7-day ticket – activated when I select a billable piece of content.
The full subscription for forty live streams plus access to an archive of concerts and interviews, is around about £140. That works out at £3.50 per concert or £11 a month. That final equivalent is a lot for me (on top of the other services I susbcribe to on a monthly basis), which is what prompted a different line of thinking.
What is really striking (and fundamentally depressing) is the distinct lack of women in nearly every visual cue – holding slides and video. The talent roster too is dominated by men in both print and in-app. The Berlin Philharmonic appear to have overlooked the fact that the app is a window on the orchestra's attitude to diversity and representation. In this way, the Berlin Phil presents itself as entirely out of step. The more I think about that observation, the more I think it would stop me from signing up for the service.
What I'd sign up for in a heartbeat is a service with a Connected Smart TV app that offered a range of content delivered in a variety of different formats – audio, video, text or imagery, live, catch-up and archive. And importantly, for the arts world to really grab the bull by the horns, it would need to be a rich cultural offering too – visual art, performing arts, literature, etc. It needs to be unmediated – so no presenters please.
I'd also like there to be curation of mixed format content that could be played across devices – eg start on the TV and then switch to a mobile or tablet when I move to a different room. And when I'm in the room with the TV, I'd like the app on my mobile or tablet to run alongside what I'm watching on the big screen in front of me, effectively giving me a second screen's worth of content supporting what I'm watching/listening to.
There's one other service which is en route. Medici TV does offer multi-disciplinary arts experiences but it is, incredibly, only available via a web browser. Quite why they've not gone the whole hog and developed even an app for IOS or Android I've no idea. Visit any European concert where Medici TV are partnering and the organisers will gladly tell everyone of the distribution network's involvement.
Medici is a big deal (even if it doesn't appear so in the UK) which suggests the capital exists to invest in the technology. Maybe its in development. Where the BBC is concerned, my hunch is that 'BBC Music' – a brand often referenced on-air – might be the first tentative steps to a similar sort of offering.
But as far as I can make out, there's nothing out there which pulls together all of the arts both on-demand and curated in a Connected TV/multi-device app. All that requires is for multiple arts organisations to join forces and recognise what they could achieve together in terms of digital access. For some organisations that's going to be a little more difficult than for others.
The much-maligned Digital Concert Hall (it costs an arm and a leg to keep going I understand) is one step closer to that.


This is rad. Welcome to California. Come to Palm Springs and take the Lutefisk The Piece Of Cod That Passes All Understanding Shirt challenge. I think it's an enormous two lb burrito. I could have found like 25 worse locations. Probably over 50 if I really tried. But this was the best spot available at the time, thanks for watching. This prayer is perfection for you my heavenly King. I thank you for rebuking the evil one and I pray that you will forever forgive my indiscretions and keep me in your heart forever and ever as I will you. I don't like that prayer because of the line that says, "I thank you for covering me with your almighty shadow." God doesn't cast a shadow, In Him there is no darkness. Anyone who knows God would know that. Thank you God for being so mercifully good to us and being with us every minute of everyday. Thank you for waking us up and protecting us daily too.
Thank you for the blood of your Son Jesus, who died on the cross for our sins. In Jesus name. We living in the last day you can see the all around trees everything no doubt it we living in the last day we should need to get right with the Lord was with you late that will be some people go to Haiti. Lord god I have few words but my request is that I ask of you to keep my two daughters safe and the right track I pray that they recognize the you are the god an only god and that they keep u close to their hearts and be the best they should be cover my children lord bless protect an guide them in Jesus name. Thank you Father God for your protection and your promises in Jesus mighty name. Bless the Lord oh my sole and forgot not all His benefits who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases so that your youth is renewed like the eagles. Because I'm scared of the Lutefisk The Piece Of Cod That Passes All Understanding Shirt I must invent an all-powerful, invisible, deity who allows millions of innocent children on Earth to suffer and starve to death each year.

Awesome New Electronics Can Dissolve and Disappear When They're No Longer Needed
"Transient electronics" could deliver drugs, monitor buildings and more. Could they be an eco-friendly solution for obsolescent tech?
By Rebecca Boyle | Published Sep 28, 2012 6:19 PM
A new class of electronics can dissolve and disappear on a pre-set schedule, within a few minutes or a few years, depending on when you want them to go away. They could live in the body and deliver drugs, they could stick on the exterior of buildings or tanks, and they can become compost instead of metal scrap–in other words, they turn the common conception of electronics completely upside down.
Transient electronics, as they've been dubbed, are a combination of silk and silicon designed to work seamlessly in our bodies and in our environments. In a new study, researchers built a thermal device designed to monitor infection in a rodent and a 64-pixel digital camera–all from dissolvable material.
Suk-Won Hwang of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and several colleagues made circuits out of silkworm cocoons, superthin sheets of porous silicon, and electrodes made of magnesium. All these materials are biocompatible and because they're extremely thin and soluble, they dissolve even in minute quantities of water. The silk is the main structural scaffold, and it determines the dissolution rate of the entire device. Biomedical engineer Fiorenzo Omenetto at Tufts University, a coauthor, figured out how to adjust the silk protein's properties so it degrades at a wide range of intervals. The silk is dissolved and then re-crystallized, and by controlling the crystallization, the researchers can control the rate at which it dissolves again.
In a major test of the platform's biocompatibility, the team engineered a silk biomedical implant in a mouse. The device was programmed to break down after a certain length of time in which it was exposed to bodily fluids, and then it was doped with an antibacterial compound. The team implanted it in an infected surgical site and after three weeks, the infection was reduced and small residual pieces of the implant could be detected. Here's a list of other items they've built so far: transient transistors; diodes; wireless power coils; temperature and strain sensors; photodetectors; solar cells; radio oscillators and antennas; and digital cameras. There is a huge array of possible uses for this technology, which is partly funded by DARPA.
Even when they're likely to be obsolete the moment you buy them, modern electronics are built to last. When they're no longer needed, they pile up in our houses, recycling centers or landfills. Transient electronics could be a solution–a device can be programmed to last a few years, and then completely dissolve when it's rendered obsolete. The research appears in this week's issue of Science.
The Circuit Dissolves
A resorbable electronic circuit is shown in its first phases of dissolution.


The new 2015 Meinl Percussion in one video demo. It's all here: from the Backbeat Tambourines to the 6" Ching Ring and mini darbukas.
Check the complete article on Drummerszone that has all the 65 images of all the new Meinl Percussion products for 2015.
German Baratto from Meinl USA takes you through the highlights of the 2014 Meinl Percussion products.
Meinl presented over sixty new percussion products at the 2011 Winter NAMM Show in Anaheim, California. Mario Schmitt, product manager of Meinl Percussion, personally picked out some of the highlights from the 2011 add-ons to the Meinl Percussion catalog.
As a modern and progressive company, Meinl has never been content with the status quo. By talking and listening to the people who play, we have developed many new and improved percussion instruments. Original Meinl innovations like the Free Ride System for Bongos (patented), the Floatune� Tuning System for Timbales and Djembes (patented), the revolutionary Steely II Conga and Djembe Stands (patented), or the Professional Conga and Bongo Stands (patented) prove our leading position in Research and Development work and set the standard in the percussion world.
Since Meinl's formation, their main objective has been to offer percussion instruments which comply with the highest quality levels regarding manufacturing and materials used. Only by committing to the highest standards, Meinl can guarantee top quality instruments, the maximum of playing comfort, the best possible sounds, and therefore long lasting customer fulfilment.
Meinl's perception of what it means to be a global player tells us not to measure success in sales only. As a family owned and managed company, Meinl conduct business with integrity, respecting our employees, customers, artists, and the environment around them. Therefore Meinl strictly observe the CITES-regulations set forth in the "Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora" and only use wood from environmentally controlled forests or industrial wood plantations.

Business class flights to Tokyo
The best business class flights to Tokyo from London we found this month were for £1,829 return. To get today's best price simply complete the form on this page and we'll get back to you quicker than you can say "Cherry Blossom".
Average flying time from London to Tokyo: 11 hours 30 minutes
Airlines flying direct from London to Tokyo: ANA, British Airways, JAL
Airports in Tokyo: Tokyo Narita, Tokyo Haneda
Distance from London to Tokyo: 5,949 miles
When taking business class flights to Tokyo, only three major airlines fly there direct, including; British Airways, ANA and JAL. ANA and JAL fly to Tokyo Haneda airport, while British Airways offer direct flights from London Heathrow to both Haneda and Narita airport.
British Airways Club World features lie-flat seats with 10.4 inch entertainment screens, noise cancelling headsets and in seat power sockets. At Heathrow Airport you'll also benefit from a complimentary treatment in the Elemis Travel Spa, as well as access to the Galleries Lounge, where you can relax and enjoy some refreshments or a glass of wine before your flight.
ANA's Business Class features a staggered seat configuration, with direct aisle access so you don't have to disturb your fellow passengers when getting up to go to the bathroom. A highlight is definitely ANA's dining experience, which includes meals designed by master chefs, with both International and Japanese options. In addition to wines and champagnes, you can also enjoy high-quality Japanese sake to get you in the mood for your trip.
On JAL you'll get to experience the airline's Sky Suite, which features as seat that reclines into a fully flat bed, topped with a specially designed "Airwave" mattress and pillows. The food is mouthwatering, with both Western and Japanese options available. Passengers flying First Class or Business Class on flights from Europe can choose from original rice bowls unique to different regions, including the France Bowl, London Bowl, Finland Bowl, Frankfurt Pork Bowl.
Getting to and from the airport
Tokyo Haneda is located 30 minutes south of central Tokyo and is closer than Narita airport. Upon arrival you can catch a taxi from the 1st floor curbside area or you can catch the train or monorail into the city. The passenger terminal connects directly to the underground Haneda Airport International Terminal Station on the Keikyu Line, and to the 3rd-floor Haneda Airport International Terminal Station of the Tokyo Monorail Line.
If you're flying into Narita airport then you can hop in a fixed fare taxi or a metered taxi to take you into the city. Fixed fare taxis cost around 16,000-26,000 yen depending on what zone you're travelling to, which is pricey. The quickest and most economical way to get to downtown Tokyo is either by taking the Skyliner Express, which takes 36 minutes and costs 2,470 yen or the Narita Express, which takes 50 minutes and costs 3,020 yen. There are also express buses available, which will take you to Shinjuku and other main stations.
Where to stay in Tokyo
Conrad Tokyo offers 290 luxury rooms and suites with expansive views over Tokyo Bay. The hotel is well located beside Shiodome station and close to Ginza, so you're just a short distance from the city's best department stores and restaurants. Relax and unwind in the hotel's spa, before heading to TwentyEight bar for cocktails with a view of the Tokyo skyline.
Mandarin Oriental is known for offering some of the most luxurious hotels in the world and the group's Tokyo hotel is no exception. This impressive contemporary hotel is located in Tokyo's Nihonbashi neighbourhood and features plush rooms and suites with floor-to-ceiling windows. The hotel has top notch dining options, including a 'Tapas Molecular Bar' serving molecular cuisine, and a French dining restaurant called 'Sense' that overlooks the glittering Tokyo skyline.
Tokyo is unlike any place you've ever been before. It's a densely populated city with neon billboards, crowded pavements, tremendous skyscrapers and futuristic technology. But amongst all the shopping malls and the contemporary buildings you'll also be able to find signs of traditional Japanese culture, uncovering ancient buildings and quaint alleyways, and perhaps even spotting a geisha. The city has so much to explore that it's impossible to see everything, but here are some of the places we'd recommend visiting:
Senso-ji – This ancient Buddhist temple is the oldest temple in Tokyo. The temple's Kaminarimon Gate is the most photographed, featuring a large red lantern hanging from the archway. Once inside you'll find a street filled with souvenir shops so this is a good opportunity to buy some presents to take home.
Shibuya crossing – The busiest intersection in the world – Shibuya crossing is a must-see in Tokyo. It's the image you imagine when thinking of Tokyo – neon lights, bright billboards and throngs of people all crossing the wide road. You can get a great view of the crossing from the Starbucks on the 2nd floor of the Q-front building, or you can also see it from the windows of the Shibuya train station.
Tsukiji fish market – Tsukiji fish market is the largest wholesale fish and seafood market in the world. Set your alarm early to watch the live tuna auctions at 5am, or take things a bit more leisurely and head on over for a sushi lunch and to watch the fishmongers selling their catch.
Ginza shopping – Tokyo has tons of shopping malls and outlets but if you want to shop-till-you-drop then Ginza is the most popular shopping district in the city. The Ginza district is filled with shops, restaurants, art galleries and department stores.
Tokyo has a varied climate, with cold winters and hot, humid summers. Temperatures usually average around 5 degrees Celsius in January and reach about 26 Degrees Celsius in August, so what you pack will depend on the time of year you're visiting. The months of June to September tend to be the rainiest months, so if you travel during this time you may want to pack an umbrella or raincoat. A popular time for tourists to visit is cherry blossom season, when the blossoms bloom towards the end of March and the beginning of April.
If you have a 'British Citizen' or 'British National (Overseas)' passport, you can enter Japan as a visitor for up to 90 days without a visa and your passport should be valid for the proposed duration of your stay.
The best cheap business class flights to Tokyo can only be found offline with a SkyClub agent. So please complete the online form or call us on +442072551234 and we will find you the best business class deal in town. Thanks for taking the time to read this article, we hope it has helped you.

Tax Shelter and Tax Administration
Keisuke Morita
First Online: 06 December 2018
Tax shelter, which allows taxpayers to avoid tax through complicated transactions, has become a serious problem for the tax administration since the 1990s. Slemrod (Natl Tax J 57: 877–899, 2004) mentioned that tax revenue loss from abusive tax shelter was estimated to be between $14.5 billion and $18.4 billion in 1999 and increased by 50% in 1993. Wilson (Account Rev 84: 969–999, 2009) showed that the mean federal tax deficiency associated with use of tax shelter is over $375 million. Bankman (Natl Tax J 57: 925–936, 2004) pointed out that tax shelter makes fiscal planning difficult and hinders the efficient distribution of resources.
When an taxpayer prefers promoter i to promoter j, the relation of \( EB _{i}\ge EB _{j}\) holds. By rewriting this relation, we have
$$\begin{aligned} \beta _{j}\le \frac{p_{j}-p_{i}}{\gamma t(y)}+\beta _{i}. \end{aligned}$$
(A.1)
From (A.1), we can represent the probability that the taxpayer with \( \beta _{i}\) will select promoter i rather than promoter j as follows.
$$\begin{aligned} \Pr \left[ EB _{i}\ge EB _{j}\right] =G\left[ \frac{p_{j}-p_{i}}{\gamma t(y)}+\beta _{i}\right] . \end{aligned}$$
From (A.2), the probability that the taxpayer will select promoter i from among all promoters is represented as
$$\begin{aligned} \Pr \left[ EB _{i}\ge \max _{j\ne i} EB _{j} \right] = \varPi _{j\ne i}G \left[ \frac{p_{j}-p_{i}}{\gamma t(y)}+\beta _{i}\right] . \end{aligned}$$
However, the taxpayer does not consult with promoter i even if (A.3) is satisfied when \( EB _{i}<0\). Rewriting \( EB _{i}<0\) yields
$$\begin{aligned} \beta _{i}<\frac{p_{i}}{\gamma t(y)}\equiv \beta _{i}^{*}. \end{aligned}$$
From (A.3) and (A.4), the demand of promoter i is (11.2).

Team news for Bradford
Fitness doubts for Wimbledon and Neal's views on Saturday's match
Neal Ardley will check on the fitness of three key players before naming his side to take on Capital One Cup finalists Bradford City this Saturday.
Jim Fenlon (pictured) is struggling with a back injury, while Alan Bennett (foot) and Paul McCallum (ankle) are all doubtful for the visit of Phil Parkinson's men to the Cherry Red Records Stadium. Centre-back Will Antwi suffered a reaction to his troublesome hip injury after returning to training earlier this week and is definitely out and Curtis Osano is ruled out with a calf injury.
The Wimbledon manager will decide who makes the frame for Saturday after training tomorrow, but he can call upon Harry Pell for the first time since his debut against Burton Albion as the midfielder has now served his two-match suspension.
Neal Ardley said: "There are a few on the injury list. I will have a look at them tomorrow and then decide how we are going to go about the game."
Speaking to Dons Player after today's training session at New Malden, Neal says it has been a very positive week – and he wants the players to play with more freedom against Bradford City.
"It has been a good week," he said. "Everyone is emotional after a game and we had a bit of a debate with the players after last Saturday's performance. But I challenged myself afterwards too. Am I taking pressure off the lads and letting them play with the freedom to go and get results? Maybe not and now we have to change a few things and get more positivity into the camp.
"Win, lose or draw on Saturday that positive focus has to remain as there is still almost a third of the season to go. It is part of my football philosophy that players should play with no fear. Maybe that has crept in because of the pressure of our situation. Though we still have to do our jobs and know everything about the opposition, we have to play with no fear."
See the official website tomorrow for more from the Wimbledon manager on Saturday's Bradford match.
Dons Player subscribers can now watch the full video interview with Neal Ardley on our premium site and Youssef Bamba's thoughts on signing his professional contract with AFC Wimbledon.


CRM.me Inc., the leader in CRM gamification, released a case study on a recent implementation of CRM.me Pro by TazWorks, a Utah-based technology provider to the background screening industry. CRM.me was selected by TazWorks to run the company's sales and support business processes.
Prior to selecting CRM.me Pro, TazWorks was using a desktop CRM application that was separate from other parts of the business and did nothing more than capture contact information. The company needed a dynamic tool that could help manage sales, set reminders for future tasks, automate lead handling, chronicle interactions with prospects and clients, and allow for email and calendar integration.
CRM.me Pro has helped TazWorks achieve order from chaos. There is finally a system in place to track the various initiatives from sales and support to strategic partners and vendors. Management is now able to measure the effectiveness of email campaigns and monitor the status of deals as they move through the pipeline. Gamification helped drive 100% user adoption and allows visibility into which staff members are most active in the CRM.
"I'm a sales guy not a CRM expert, but I was able to set up and configure the system myself. That is not something that could be easily done with other CRM systems. CRM.me's staff was there every step of the way to assist with questions and offer advice on CRM best practices. Simply put, we are far more efficient having adopted CRM.me," commented Stone.
TazWorks is a simple and intuitive enterprise-grade system that offers background screening agencies the following functionality: employment screening, student/intern screening, substance abuse testing, social date screening, tenant screening, business due diligence, volunteer screening, and Form I9 Compliance. Instascreen™ background check software is reliable, secure, and user-friendly so that clients receive accurate data quickly in a format that's easy to understand.


Are you the person who sees the cup half full or half empty? I remember this was the first question my professor asked us in our MBA class. We expected that it would be an self-introduction class or a debate class to score and divide us with different sessions but he wanted to determine our outlook on life.
Each one was different, I saw it half full and he was impressed. An optimist always sees the positive side of any situation while an pessimist sees only the downfall in a particular situation. I had been a pessimist without knowing about it, I proudly called myself as an optimist but the reality was different.
This first day in my college was very exciting at the same time very emotional, on whether the path I lay for myself would be positive or negative. I had to the step forward to stand ahead of others. I wanted an chance to proof myself. I wanted to top the class with distinction. Confused and excited thoughts were banging my head while the professor called out for names who would like to contest in class leadership. A moment of optimism showed paths which were faced with challenges, tasks and activities to give me an exciting chance to show my talent.
I slowly raised my hand in the crowd, the counting began and was surprised to find I was the first to raise my hand. Now, competing with 8 others for a seat of two. We had to go through various activities to be shortlisted among the top 4. My positive attitude and approach made me win with maximum number of votes. Optimism changed the entire life ahead of me, it was filled with confidence, inspiration and excitement. A single step is enough to change the entire path in front of you.
Daily activities were filled with excitement and fun of what the day was about to bring. I go to gym and did my intense workouts prepping my body for the day. A session of meditation after gym gave me the calm and peace mindset to be strong mentally. A healthy hot home made breakfast nourished me enough to face the challenges. I strongly believe a healthy mind and a body is the key to success.
I was full of enthusiasm and energy to learn new things. My energy spread around my friends for an active fun filled day. My high level of positivity and the ability to manage things mattered in most of the unpredictable situations which skyrocketed my confidence. I got placed in an very reputed company and also had an chance to pursue my higher studies. I was ranked as one of the best student from the university and offered an scholarship for my highers. My family was very proud of me as college chairman handed over me the gold medal. What more could I ask for?
A man must be blessed to have quality time with family and friends. I made sure that I had a balanced life. I would spend weekends with my family and evening hours for friends. We would go for movies, play cricket or just chit chat. Family was content and satisfied seeing the time spent for them. For my career, I went to another city, after a long break when I return home, the happiness on their face is endless giving me a new ray of hope always.
I did short term courses to give extra credit to my work profile after my college hours. This added value to my profile. With my positive attitude, I took criticism in a positive way, worked hard and learnt lessons. This gave more strength to face the upcoming challenges and gave me the determination to excel them. Soon my career life turned perfect filled with dedication and determination. The hope for a secured future was high. As years passed by, my experiences gave me new opportunities. My work life had a strong uptrend giving me new opportunities to explore.
The next big step to my life was when I got married to the man of my life. He was a optimist in life, had strong principles and lead a happy life. We were blessed to be with each other spending quality time enjoying life and planning our future. We love to travel around, explore new places and eat different cuisines. The secured feeling of being with my life partner brings heaps of hope about our future. We are sure to be there for each other at all times. My life is complete in his hands!!!
Life is very unpredictable, sometimes very demanding and full of pressures. But we must learn to see the good from the bad and be optimistic. Behind every success story there is a clumsy steps of failure, but the spirit, dedication and optimism will take you to the right direction. LookUp and see the sunshine.
Life can take a twist at any part of time, miracles do happen in everyone life like it happened in my college time as they start to see their lives in a positive way. Right attitude and confidence in oneself will give a bright future.
Your are definitely living a complete happy life. Keep going because positiveness will take us through all the way.
So lovely! Nice to learn about it!
