Internet resource "Real life stories of real people" has changed its design. As one said to the heroine's famous film "The new lipstick – a new face!" Just as the make-up can drastically transform a woman and website design, graphic and new colors are changing the site, users create a new mood allows a different take on it provided the information. Who said that only women need confidential conversations, support and practical advice at a time when power is running out, and its own fantasy is over? As it happens, not always close or friends are nearby, or can help. Not for nothing disbosom outsiders sometimes find it easier and easier. And the advice from could be the most correct and point to a bright point at the end of the dark tunnel. But we are not every day we travel in trains, where we were waiting for casual companions with in psychology, who can listen, sympathize and advise.
But we can not imagine my life without the Internet. The site "The real stories of real people" – it's like a life preserver on the white ocean liner of our lives. Life everyone – not monotonous. It is filled with various events, she shimmers like a rainbow. Only men and women their real stories.

Corporate colors is important to choose colors for no one logo, but for the entire brand image, taking into account the internal and external documentation, painting the walls in the offices and the color of carpet in the meeting room. Two or three primary colors – the only question is seemingly simple. This is a whole work to which should involve not uncommon, and psychologists colorists. On the other hand, in respect of corporate colors and fonts, sometimes works fine 'theory break stereotypes', in which attention can bring an unexpected turn. Firm Sometimes it is an unusual type font is a major component of corporate identity. Letters in different font character image, saturation, slope, size. It is created individually, as well as logo. Definitely, the presence of a corporate font favorably distinguish your company from others, but still it is not an integral component of corporate identity – you can use ready-made fonts (only those that are not nobody's right to extend intellectual property).
Business card element from which to start business contacts. After dating is an exchange of business cards. In fact, business card is essentially a mini-representation of your company. For example, visiting the exhibition business, going after numerous meetings, his business card, the customer will choose with whom to communicate, despite the series of cards and selecting the most representative and beautiful. Blank is a sheet of paper with the name of the institution, firm or partially printed text that is required for document on a particular form.

Corporate Website In today's world with the development of Internet and e-mail to one of the first places came the issue of corporate style electronic documentation. To her rank as blank e-mail. Corporate website no longer be considered an achievement. Now even many small companies have their own websites. And the finished design solution for site, in harmony with other parts of corporate identity, it would be nice to have on hand at the very beginning.
What is a Web site today know almost everything. This page on the Internet, which represented all he wants its owner. And there are many types of sites – from large multi-functional portals to homemade personal pages. Creativity, business, trade, advertising, communication, and just try to make themselves the world – everything was available. Rare company, and even a small firm does not initiate its Web representation, because it is very effective way to attract new customers, which allows you to provide information to customers and partners, and continuously expand the scope of activities. As with any business there, there is one very important thing: your web site – it's your face in the world of the Internet. From how it looks, how it works and what is full, depends your image.
So to start that should be considered someone who was going to make or modify your website. The first – the creation of a site, it's not as easy as it sometimes seems. This process, which requires special skills and knowledge. Second – this process has a certain sequence. Such as building a house – from design to interior rooms and furniture placement.
If you break this sequence or a trusted web design incompetent people to achieve the desired result is almost impossible. But where do we start building site? First of all, with the development of his concept and technical specifications. They define what should happen in the end: what is the structure of the site, its design, functionality and tools. For even more analysis, hear from Bernard Golden . At this stage the main role played by the customer. On how well he is what he needs, depends on further work. After all modifications necessarily result in loss of time and additional costs. Naturally, the specification is made with taking into account the views of the developers – they will have to implement it. Significant role played by the choice of content management system and develop a logical and intuitive interface. On this depends the availability of materials from the site for and visitors an opportunity to administer the site, placing it on the latest information. Designed by – his face. Color, graphics, fonts – all this creates an image that should please and cause interest and positive emotions. Already on the first steps on the design tells the visitor that he can find here and learn. Inelegant design will become more anti-advertising. And the site is almost set. Almost – because any most advanced hull requires content – pictures, text data. What makes a site truly informative and lively. Professionally prepared content, among other things, promotes the website in search engines, and therefore increase attendance. Only after filling the site content, literate, its construction can be considered finished. Now, for its prosperity only need regular Updated information and support – administration. The studio "Getis" – a professional development and creation of sites in Kazan. Modern Kazan – a city of high IT-technologies. And that we are working web designers and Programmers at the highest level, capable of performing the tasks of any complexity. We also offer – redesign, support, and optimize websites, convenient and reliable hosting service in Kazan. That complexity – a guarantee that you get a site that will be a reliable assistant on the road to your success.
A list of the most popular sites today is the World Wide Web community. Facebook shares his opinions and ideas on the topic at hand. Directly using the information technology of any of us currently communicates, obtains data, looks provided channels of transmission. And, of course, works. In principle, long ago ceased to be a portal company overkill for today is just one way of marketing strategy. Directly with application site there is a chance not only to transmit information to the customers acquired before or business partners, but also attract new ones. It only requires a correct optimization of web sites. Well, what of myself optimization can be a resource? In fact, it is well written code, as well as intelligently written texts.
Without exception, all text elements, which are hung on the resource can not answer Yandex website promotion with a warranty. Only well-formed resource really will become effective by the transmit data to potential consumers of products or services which are able to offer the company. So as little to provide high quality products or services – it is important that the buyer knew about this proposal. Do not just say that the sale is not that good quality, but what about what people know. Promotion of any products or services requires a professional attitude.
Only in this case it really will have a positive effect. Since not all advertising reaches a total, but only one that is a fragment thought-out marketing campaign. Just because website promotion Moscow at this time will require not only the naked enthusiasm, as the quality of knowledge in this field. In order to determine the level of knowledge among specific promotion of artists in the field, rather to draw attention to the quality of the advancement of other customers. Because it is clear that the outcome of the quality of the company can say more eloquently than most. Use Internet and web-site as a shopping tool for today even more than competently. And above all, because the global network does not recognize borders. And the information is distributed without registering and customs additional "transportation" expenses. While the effectiveness of online advertising directly to our times even hard to overestimate. Because the number of people who use the Internet in their activities, increasing year by year avalanche. And without exception, they are not entirely hypothetical consumers, but also quite often employees of companies that look for employees. Any progress toward success in any case may begin with the movement in the most promising direction. And in this direction today, no doubt, is the Internet.

With an economy in crisis, the credibility of the dollar lies across the floor. The situation It is serious but not everyone sees it this way. The level of confusion about the real situation of the American economy and emerging risks arising are such that on one side we find the majority of U.S. economists celebrating the end of the recession in that country. Checking article sources yields Bernard Golden as a relevant resource throughout. At the other end of the world we find opinions like the following of Miaojie Yu, of the Center for Economic Research-National School of Development (Peking University) about the current imbalances that affect China and the U.S.: China does not have to meet financial needs of USA. It was disturbing to hear views as the Miaojie Yu, as if China were not aware of the terrible consequences that for herself may have to stop funding imbalances in the American economy. Larry Ellison does not necessarily agree. An old saying says the blame it doesn't the pig but that gives eating, and in this sense, China must take responsibility and cooperate to find a solution to the American problems. Anyway, somehow it will have to pay for their mistakes.
What is most troubling in the U.S. economy, the risk of insolvency or the risk of hyperinflation? The risk of insolvency in the US economy is certainly relative, since ultimately all debt of the U.S. Government is denominated in local currency so ultimately, you cannot resolve the problem by printing money. Clear is not an alternative healthy and certainly can lead to negative consequences as serious as the same default, but unless you have an alternative to avoid this. Analyzing the public debt, must not only worry about its current level but its expected developments. In relation to this, in a short time more will exceed 100% in terms of GDP, but there is something more disturbing and is linked to the increase in the fiscal deficit expected as a result of deficient system of public health.

Q: Query Involving Linked Server Raises Distributed Transaction Error When No Transaction is Used or Needed I have a multi-threaded scheduler process (.NET) that calls a stored procedure that needs to pull data from a Linked Server and eventual insert data into a local table.  I'm not explicitly using any transactions--I'm not concerned with the process failing, as I can just rerun.  Furthermore, I want to avoid the complication of distributed transactions (MSDTC).
What I'm running into is that most of the time through the .NET process, I am getting the following error:
The operation could not be performed because OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI11" for linked server "XXXX" was unable to begin a distributed transaction.
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI11" for linked server "XXXX" returned message "No transaction is active.

When I execute the stored procedure from SQL Server Management Studio, it does not get the error.  I've been trying to track down how the SSMS execution differs from .NET, and I've found some instances were the .NET process does NOT get the error.  But even with that, I can't make a distinction between when it fails vs. when it doesn't.
For what it's worth, I put some logging in the procedure to record @@trancount, which is always registering as 2.  I can understand one implicit transaction to cover the INSERT statement to save the log, but I cannot account for the second.  For what it's worth, my stored procedure actually calls a second procedure which accesses the linked server--not sure if this is relevant.  All that said, @@trancount returns 2 even when successful (and regardless if called from SSMS or .NET).
The DBA has changed the linked server properties to ensure "enable promotion of distributed transactions" is false.  What else should I try?  Thanks!

A: I discovered what was causing the attempt at a transaction in the first place (which was my goal, since I do not need a transaction). The procedure pulling data from the linked server was inserting that data into a #temp table using the SELECT ... INTO #temp pattern.  Since the table it was selecting from was across the linked server, I believe it was creating the temp table there as well.  Either that, or it was still creating the temp table locally, but since the selected table was across the linked server, it was trying to extended the transaction (implicit to the insert statement) to cover both local and the linked server.
Either way, when I changed to create the temp table in a separate statement before the INSERT ... SELECT statement, it worked without error!
What this doesn't explain to me is why the procedure would work (every time via SSMS, and rarely via .NET).  I'm going to chalk that up to different execution plans somehow... and SQL Server voodoo magic.

Sanofi teams up with McLaren Racing to accelerate industrial excellence
28 Apr 2022 | Network Updates | Update from Sanofi
By Communication from Sanofi
Sanofi announces today that it is partnering with McLaren Racing to accelerate manufacturing efficiency and performance in support of the company's ambition to attain world-class standards of manufacturing excellence. Following a successful pilot in 2021 with McLaren Racing, both companies have decided to extend their collaboration across multiple sites in seven countries, covering more than 100 production lines, across all technologies. Learnings from this partnership will provide insights and develop best practices for manufacturing that will then be implemented across Sanofi's global industrial network .
Paul Hudson, Chief Executive Officer, said "We are thrilled to partner with McLaren and learn from their winning spirit and culture of going over and above. I see a lot of commonalities in our shared values to stretch, with courage and determination, so we can maximize performance and operational excellence. We want to run our lines with the speed, precision and efficiency of an F1 racing team."
McLaren Racing experts will collaborate with Sanofi's Industrial Affairs team to enable continued optimization of its manufacturing operations, enabling its global network to better support the supply of its broad portfolio, as well as enhancing the delivery of its R&D pipeline, with 25 new launches expected in the next five years to meet patients' needs around the world.
With a unique data-driven approach, McLaren Racing will bring its digital and analytical expertise and skills to further elevate Sanofi's performance by helping to better anticipate and resolve issues before they take place. Modelling simulation of production line changeovers and operations will be key areas of McLaren's Formula 1 experience, as exemplified using advanced data analytics and expertise used to optimize the famed pit stops of F1 races.
Zak Brown, Chief Executive Officer, McLaren Racing, said "We are thrilled to be partnering with Sanofi. It is important that two global companies who share values work together to maximise performance. We look forward to continuing to collaborate with Sanofi to make a positive impact not only in manufacturing but to help Sanofi improve patients' lives."
Beyond the technical leadership from F1, the collaboration will bring a specific focus on the people dimension of high performance. The partnership will bring a race-like mindset, emulating the competitive, fast paced environment of F1 racing to help accelerate improvements, learnings and sharing of best practices individually and collectively across sites, fostering a "one Sanofi spirit." This unique opportunity will marry the best of the two companies with the speed, agility, teamwork, and constant improvement required to succeed in motor racing, as well as in healthcare discoveries.
Brendan O'Callaghan, Executive Vice President for Industrial Affairs, Sanofi, said:"We aspire to industry-leading capability across our global network of sites, so we can deliver on our mission to translate the miracles of science - discovered in our laboratories - into reality for patients. This program represents a great opportunity to improve our manufacturing sites' performance with a leading partner like McLaren, who personifies high performance in a fast-paced, ultra-competitive environment, leveraging advanced data driven analytics and precision engineering to gain a winning edge. Accelerating our performance in this way will help us further expand the reach of our medicines to even more patients around the world."

Still playing catch up a little bit for some of the songs from last year. Thankfully there isn't a ton of new music at the beginning of the year so I can get these out to ya. The Hanging Tree from the latest Hunger Games soundtrack is a slow, driving, bluesy tune. We don't need too many chords, all easy open chord shapes, and I'll be showing you how to play all of them in the video. The second half of this song has some sweet re-harmonization especially when we go from D minor to D major. Its a great way to add some extra flavor to this otherwise very minor song. The chord chart is below so you can play and sing along too. Enjoy!

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky Spent Christmas in Barbados Together
Hilary Weaver
From ELLE
A$AP Rocky was "very into Rihanna for years" before they finally got together, a source told Us Weekly earlier this month. Now that they're finally an item, things seem to be going pretty well for both of them. They spent the holidays in Barbados, which both Rihanna and A$AP's father call home.
"Rihanna has been in Barbados since [last] Thursday," a source told People. "A$AP joined her and they are spending Christmas together with Rihanna's family."
They reportedly arrived at Rih's home this past Wednesday and spent Christmas Eve on a Catamaran sunset cruise.
Since they started dating this year, they've been spending much of their time together, another source told the publication.
"They've been inseparable the past few week," the source said. "It's a new relationship, but they both seem very into it. They've always seemed to have a great time together. They have a lot in common. They both are very much about helping out in the communities where they grew up A$AP is generous, and so is Rihanna. A$AP is known for being a great guy. Rihanna seems very happy dating A$AP."
Although it's not super clear how long these two have been dating, it seems that things have really only picked up in recent weeks. On December 1, Entertainment Tonight had the first report on the relationship.
"They have always had amazing chemistry and Rihanna relates to A$AP and it feels natural, easy and fun," a source told ET. "She feels very comfortable around him since they've known each other for such a long time and also feels a connection to him because his dad is from Barbados."

Let's talk for a bit about the recent sexual harassment charges that have come to public attention.
It is a complicated subject and you can take it in many directions depending on your personal perspective. And let's face it, in our flawed society the expectations from male and female perspectives can be vastly different.
John Gilmore, a conservative Republican writer, wrote a column for Alpha News that brings up some interesting points as he criticizes everyone involved. He says that there is too much politics involved while emphasizing ONLY political points of view. A bit hypocritical himself, but interesting none the less.
The article has a Republican bias but a good self examination of the Republican response as well.
But let's discuss how these allegations are being portrayed. Sexual harassment in the work place is always an uncomfortable and unnecessary problem. Relationships are complicated enough - don't let the work place become part of that complication. That should be a basic tenet as we delve into this.
A lot of people ask the question, why now? And I would respond, if not now, when? This is not a new problem at the legislature. Many rumors abound about this issue and Twitter and Facebook have opened up whole new avenues of asking for trouble.
The timeline is interesting. As Gilmore points out, Schoen and Corning being outed at about the same time, makes it a bipartisan issue and should be solved in a bipartisan manner.
But look at the party responses. DFL Senators are in a one vote minority. Each Senator is something they cannot afford to lose - yet, the calls for resignation from DFL Senate and Party officials was swift and immediate for Schoen - and for Cornish when it happened a little later. But on the Republican side, condemnation of Schoen was immediate, but when the R was involved there was this unusual parsing of words and shifting positions. Daudt acknowledged there was a problem but seemed unwilling to commit to any action. After a day or two of fidgeting, he decided to have an outside body handle it so he could wash his hands of it politically.
"Carnahan needlessly exposed the Republican Party of Minnesota to charges of hypocrisy in calling for Schoen to resign but not Cornish. When challenged she went silent, except to leave the state to write gibberish on the sand beaches of California while celebrating her birthday. You know that person who uses exclamation points too much, as in all the time? That's her.
Unfortunately, Carnahan is the embodiment of low level management types: full of unwarranted self confidence but manifestly without the talent to be promoted. Her incompetent leadership, tone deaf messaging and abominable press releases have given many observers cause for concern in the upcoming election cycle."
It really was a one sided response and coming from a woman, it seemed all the more hypocritical. Carnahan's public comments were woeful and very unfulfilling as a guide to any kind of remedy.
Gilmore also argues that Schoen's physical actions were more egregious than Cornish's sexual innuendos; but both of these men have a checkered history in this regard which will probably keep this story going for awhile. And which could lead to other revelations -- because you know they are not alone in this regard.
I remember when Melissa Hortman publicly stated her disdain for her "reluctance" ......"to break up the 100 percent white male card game in the retiring room." An obvious reference to ignoring and dismissing the conversations being made by women legislators on the House floor ...especially women of color.
That was a symptom of the much bigger problem of sexual harassment.
Women have not, for a long time, been taking seriously as legislators; even though by and large they get a lot more things done for their constituents than any male representative. This is not just a Minnesota thing, it is nationwide and in the Halls of Congress. It is difficult for them to get elected, it is difficult for them to be heard, and it is difficult for them to advance. The glass ceiling may have cracked but it is still intact.
One more point I'd like to make here. I do not believe that it is an accident that both Schoen and Cornish come out of law enforcement. As we have seen with the Black Lives Matter protest, officers of the law expect different treatment. They are so accustomed to deference in their job that they tend to expect it in every other avenue of life they pursue. I'm sure that Schoen and Cornish were surprised to be called out on their behavior. They are not used to be questioned about things they do - and as we generally see, they get too much benefit of the doubt on the job.
There are many aspects of this that should be examined. And I think the call for a Task Force on Sexual Harassment is a great place to start. If both Republicans and Democrats are serious about addressing this issue, then the Task Force should get support from everyone.
Maybe even Jennifer Carnahan can agree on that.

Geology and Environmental Sciences Department Geology & Environmental Sciences Special Opportunities
The Geologist Life List is adapted* from lists compiled by Dr. Lisa A. Rossbacher (Geologist and President of Southern Polytechnic State University, Marietta, GA)
"The best geologist is the one who has seen the most geology." Every geologist seems to have heard some version of this adage, and to some extent it is true. Visiting unique geologic sites in the field has no substitute…
…A list of essential locations for a geologist to visit must include both generic and specific cites. Any earthquake will do, but there is no substitute for the Grand Canyon (Rossbacher, 1990).
Sites, phenomena, features, and specific locations that every geologist should visit and experience:
Generic Sites
An erupting volcano(whether Santorini or Mount Etna in Italy or Kilauea in Hawaii).
A volcanic caldera (such as Crater Lake, Oregon, or Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania).
A desert (both erg or "sand sea," and reg or "desert pavement").
A glacier (both alpine and continental).
A river in flood.
An actively drilling oil rig.
The Cretaceous/Tertiary Boundary (many locations around the world, including exposures in Denmark, Northeastern Mexico, North Dakota, Haiti, and Italy).
Features associated with Pleistocene sea-level change, such as sea cliffs 60 m below current sea-level along the Florida coast, elevated fossil reefs in the Florida Keys or Bahamas, and Bahamian "Blue Holes".
An open pit mine, such as the copper mines in Butte, Montana, Bingham Canyon, Utah, Morenci, Arizona, or Chuquicamata, Chile.
A subsurface mine (an opportunity unavailable to woman until recently).
An active geyser (either at the type locality in Iceland or at Yellowstone).
A limestone cave, which can range from Carlsbad Caverns, New Mexico, to some of the small privately-owned caves in Pennsylvania or Virginia.
An ophiolite, such as the Franciscan in California or suites in Japan.
Travertine hot-spring terraces, such as those around Thermopolis, Wyoming.
An anorthosite complex, such as those in Labrador, the Adirondacks, and Niger.
Varves, whether you see the types section in Sweden or examples elsewhere.
An exfoliation dome (as in the Sierra Nevada).
A layered igneous intrusion, such as the Stillwater Complex of Montana or the Skaergaard Complex in Greenland.

At the University of La Rochelle, every sport is practiced whether individual, like sailing, athletics or judo, or collective like rugby or basketball. During this year, 24 Faculty of Law, Political Science and Management students practiced a sport at high level at the same time.
The required qualities to succeed athletically speaking are many: application, concentration, surpassing oneself etc.
These qualities also allow succeeding in management studies.
Athletes sign a contract with their faculty and the Department of Sport and Physical Education SUAPSE to make their class timetable match with practice and competition. That way, tests can be anticipated or postponed. Thanks to these dispositions, 21 out of 24 students went through first year and continued their studies with application.
Valentin Rouvier (Management Sciences Master 1 student), French amateur triathlon champion.
Pernelle Michon (Management Bachelor's Degree graduate), French sailing vice-champion 2011.
Maxime Fray (Private Law Master's graduate), French university rugby team in 2013.
Mathilde de Kérangat (Private Law Master's graduate), Laser sailing world champion in Japan, 2009.


(16 Jan, 2015) Creating unique mobile experience to attract repeated foot traffic is always the quest of shopping mall marketers. Westfield, with shopping malls in two locations in UK, has made a brilliant example with app features that have never been seen in Hong Kong.
The mobile app, named 'Westfield UK', empowers over hundreds of brands to reach the most potential customers by the design of dynamic dashboard.
Every time shoppers launch the app, the dynamic dashboard shows news and promotions that are most relevant to each shopper's specific interests. It holds shoppers' attention and increases purchases.
To acquire each shopper's interests, it only requires shoppers to indicate their love and hate among a few brands when they first start the app, in only a few taps. Based on the results, the app would reckon their favourites.
Similar to Autotoll in Hong Kong, the feature Parking Express gets car owners to register a payment account on the app. By sticking a tag on the windscreen, all parking times and fees are accessible on mobile in details.
Connecting car owners to the malls by easy mcommerce, plus special parking rates, shapes their preference on the malls. They are free from hassles of stopping and paying every time while loyalty would be promoted.
Number of available parking spaces can be checked anywhere on-the-go.
The real-time indication is especially useful in Hong Kong for places where parking spaces are limited. It avoids causing shoppers' frustration and irritation when arriving the place with no spaces left.
The groundbreaking creation of the app Westfield UK has provided interesting insights on how we can personalize a branded app and link up with driving shoppers, who are usually more affluent, by mcommerce and value-added information.

Q: How to find a point in an ellipse given the angle I found a couple of formulas but I can't transform them in code.
From the answer in Calculating a Point that lies on an Ellipse given an Angle , for instance, I get to:
var x = (a * b) / Math.sqrt(Math.pow(a, 2) + Math.pow(b, 2) * Math.pow(Math.tan(angle), 2));
var y = x * Math.tan(angle);

But this doesn't give the result expected.

Brenda Victoria Vértiz Márquez will present her experience as a public servant working at the Laboratorio para la Ciudad, the experimental office of the Mexico City government.
During the presentation Brenda will discuss how, as a designer, she worked on creating links between different stakeholders, especially civil society and the government, based on multidisciplinary collaborations and emphasising the importance of community centred design processes as well as prototyping as a means of instigating new forms of political and public imagination. Two projects will exemplify this: The "Design for the City" project and "Peatoniños (Pedestrian children): Reclaiming the streets for children's right to the city and play".
Brenda is a designer for the city. She is an industrial designer by Tec de Monterrey in Mexico City and holds a Masters of Arts degree in Creative Sustainability from Aalto University, School of Arts, Design and Architecture in Helsinki, Finland. For the last 10 years her practice and research have focused on community centred design approaches and on the social and political implications of creative practices in the public sphere. [A couple of weeks ago] she moved back to Finland after working at the Laboratorio para la Ciudad (Lab for the City)— the experimental office and creative think tank of the Mexico City government.

Evaluation of the Evidence-to-Action Approach
This evaluation of the Population Health Implementation & Training (PHIT) and Integrated District Evidence to Action (IDEAs) projects applies common implementation science tools to better understand how these HAI-led data system strengthening projects–supported through the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation's African Health Initiative–have affected data quality, service readiness and health service outputs in Central Mozambique. The evaluation will help to develop a cost-effective and scalable model to deliver the underlying evidence-to-action intervention nationwide, led by district management teams.
The PHIT and IDEAs projects are grounded in an "audit and feedback" intervention approach, focused on data-driven decision making to improve clinical service delivery. Through systematic assessment, including direct feedback cycles to health professionals on individual facility performance, clinic managers and front-line nurses can adjust their practice in real time, leading to improvements in the coverage and quality of evidence-based clinical interventions that prevent neonatal deaths. The approach also integrates data from related services, such as laboratory and pharmacy, into the scope of assessment, helping to prevent supply chain ruptures and improve service delivery across the full scope of maternal, newborn and child health services.
The initial "audit and feedback" pilot project (PHIT) ended in 2017, followed by the regional scale-up phase (IDEAs) currently implemented in 12 districts in Manica and Sofala provinces, covering a geographical area with 150 health facilities and 2.8 million residents. District management teams, supported by staff from Health Alliance International deliver the IDEAs intervention to all public sector health facilities in their areas.
This evaluation is funded by the National Institutes of Health/Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Development and is conducted in partnership with the Mozambique Ministry of Health and the University of Washington.

Spain's Creative Protests: Flamenco Flash Mobs and Supermarket Robin Hoods
Angry demonstrations are one thing, but the irate in Spain are stomping their flamenco heels at banks and robbing supermarkets to give to the poor
By Lisa Abend / Madrid @lisaabendAug. 15, 2012
Jon Nazca / Reuters
Marinaleda's mayor and Izquierda Unida Parliamentarian Juan Manuel Sanchez Gordillo, center, walks next to protesters in Osuna, Spain, Aug. 9, 2012.
On a sweltering Saturday evening, a small crowd gathered in Madrid's La Latina neighborhood to kick off a festival dedicated to one of the city's patrons, the Virgin of the Paloma. In the nights to come, there would be paso doble contests, heaps of fried sheep intestine to consume at outdoor stalls and plenty of drunken dancing to Shakira at 2 a.m. But now, at this more politically inspired celebration, the biggest attraction was a carnival booth, called the Pim Pam Pum Indignado, where people paid 50 cents for the chance to throw a ball at a target adorned with the cartoon faces of Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, Rodrigo Rato (the recently resigned head of Bankia, which had to be nationalized earlier this year to the tune of 21 billion euros) and other protagonists of Spain's economic crisis. As one bearded young man aimed carefully and toppled Angela Merkel with missile-like accuracy, the crowd erupted in a gleeful "Olé!"
Protests are everywhere and in almost every form these days in Spain. Ever since the Spanish government requested a bailout from the E.U. for its troubled banks in June, the growing list of austerity measures (a 7% reduction in civil servants' pay; an increase in the value-added tax on goods and services; the abolition of subsidies for most medicines; rising power rates) has pushed a steady tide of demonstrators into the streets. Most of these protests are of the chanting and placard-waving variety; hardly a day goes by in Madrid without some kind of angry march in front of a government building or down a central artery. But as the crisis wears on and Spain appears to approach a second bailout — this one of its rapidly growing sovereign debt — new varieties of protest are emerging. Like the Pim Pam Pum Indignado, the criticism and outrage are becoming downright creative.
(MORE: Europe's Good News: Economic Decline Is Bad, but Could be Worse)
No one knows the value of a little dramatic action better than Juan Manuel Sánchez Gordillo. A member of Andalucia's regional parliament and mayor of Marinaleda, 115 km outside Seville, he is also one of the leaders of the Andalucian Workers' Syndicate (SAT), a union composed primarily of agricultural day laborers. Reviving a tradition that dates to the 19th century, about 1,000 SAT members occupied an estate owned by the Spanish military on July 24 and demanded that the land be redistributed to the area's workers. When that action failed to garner much attention, the SAT resorted to another tactic: members entered two supermarkets, loaded carts with staples like milk, pasta and olive oil, and walked out without paying (though with a bit of scuffling from management). They later turned over the stolen goods to charity.
"We robbed to give to the poor because the rich are already robbing," says Sánchez Gordillo. "This crisis is a great robbery."
Sánchez Gordillo has been a political activist for decades. After years of sit-ins and other actions, in 1991, he and his organization convinced the regional government of Andalucia to expropriate nearly half of an aristocratic estate in Marinaleda and transfer it to the town, whose 2,700 residents now farm it collectively. But the situation now is worse, he says, than at any time since the death of Francisco Franco, which is why more dramatic measures are warranted. "People are losing everything," he says. "We wanted the authorities to really pay attention to what is happening."
(PHOTOS: Spanish Miners Protest Spending Cuts)
They certainly did. Police arrested several participants in the thefts and, on Aug. 10, dislodged the SAT from the estate it had been occupying. But Sánchez Gordillo, who says the accompanying media attention has helped publicize the plight of average families in southern Spain, says his union will continue its unorthodox protests. "We're planning more supermarket actions," he says. "And we may occupy some banks."
For one effective way of doing that, he might look to Flo6x8. A group of Seville-based flamenco performers (the name comes from a standard flamenco rhythm), it has been staging flash mobs with a decidedly critical edge. At a Bankia branch office not long ago, a portly man in sunglasses suddenly burst out with the characteristic wail of a bulería — a traditional flamenco song. As dancers stomped their heels on the bank floor, the singer declared, "You've lowered my salary and raised everything else." By the time he got to the song's closing lines ("Even if you lowered my interest rate, Bankia, I wouldn't love you anymore") the bank's customers — and even a clerk or two — were clapping along in earnest.
"It's a form of civil disobedience," says member La Paca Monea (Flo6x8's performers use pseudonyms). "We go into a place where the powerful are and invert the order of things. We demand attention and say, 'Here we are, using our bodies to fight the financial system.'" After a performance, Flo6x8, which hopes to mount a continental tour of European banks, posts videos on YouTube and its own website. "After the Bankia flash mob, we got 600,000 visitors to our site," says La Paca Monea. "People really responded to it."
Which is the same thing that humorist Fito Vasquez discovered with his Pim Pam Pum Indignado carnival game. When he drew the cartoon faces that would serve as targets, he chose, he says, "the people that would be the most hated because of their involvement with the crisis." But the level of intensity that people brought to the game surprised even him. "People were throwing those balls with real ire," he says. "Some of them didn't even want the beer you won if you hit three targets. They just wanted a chance to knock out Merkel."

CAEN RFID easy2log© RT0005ET is a low cost, semi-passive UHF Logger tag that allows to monitor temperature sensitive products like perishable foods and pharmaceuticals, during transportation and storage. The combination of the high resolution sensor, the large memory size and the standard RFID interface permits to realize effective track and trace solutions for the cold-chain.
The RT0005ET can be used with standard UHF RFID readers available on the market without requiring any additional equipment thanks to its compatibility with the EPCGlobal C1G2 and ISO18000-6C standards.
The tag can be configured to store temperature samples in intervals from 1 second to 18 hours in the internal memory that can contain up to 3,958 samples. The user can define up to 16 temperature ranges with independent threshold alarms for a very accurate control of the temperature excursions. The tag can be started either using a button or via standard RFID commands.
The tag is also able to calculate the Mean Kinetic Temperature and user configurable remaining shelf life time as well as generate alarms in case these parameters exceeded user defined thresholds.
In the RT0005ET the sensor is placed on an external probe so it is possible to measure temperature even inside a shielded box where the RFID field cannot get through.
The RT0005ET RFID logger can be used for multiple shipments thanks to the long battery life and the reset function thus allowing to reduce the total cost of the solution and anticipate the ROI.

Most days she prayed, beloved daughter that she is, imagining herself leaning against His knee - His hand gently caressing her head. She felt herself bathed in love because she was. Love itself bent low to hear her every word. Love washed away her guilt and shame and filled her with the sure knowledge of forgiveness. Love waited patiently when her mind wandered, and she thought of a thousand other things. Love poured out grace and mercy to meet the things only He knew she would face.
But there were those other days. Days when her eyes lifted to the heavens, and she was overwhelmed with the greatness of her God. On those days she bent her knees and whispered, "Holy." The very word pressed her to the floor. This loving Father, so tender and approachable, was also the One whose glory fills the whole earth and is so great no one can even look at it. The One who is perfect and righteous, whose wisdom and power is far above anything her mind could conceive. The One, this Holy, Righteous God is mindful of her.
Tears roll onto the carpet, and she worships.
"Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of Heaven's Armies!

Organic labels merit a taste: "The government seems to warn us about everything these days, and wine is no exception. I've already written my opinion about the "Contains sulfites" hoo-ha.
Now, one of the things you will find on a wine bottle label that makes sense is an organic designation. Organic farming and winemaking are practiced by people who care: They care about the taste, they care about their workers and they care about the environment.
Be sure to note that many of the wines in California source grapes come from organically farmed vineyards but aren't labeled as such because in the past organic wines tucked back on store shelves with the kosher and the non-alcoholic selections. This is changing rapidly as the organic revolution continues its march. Spread a little sunshine of your own and drink organic. All wines reviewed were purchased at Wild Oats. Find Valley locations at www.wildoats.com.
2004 BuenaVentura Sauvignon Blanc, Lontue Valley, Chile ($13.99, not pictured) - This is another low alcohol (12.5 percent) wine recommendation for 2007. It's made with organic grapes, and the color is a superpale platinum yellow. The aroma is a little gun-smoky with melon and an herbal touch to the finish. The taste is full, ripe and rich. The finish has enough tartness to please any Sauvignon Blanc lover. 84 points.
2004 Nuevomundo Sauvignon Blanc, Reserva, D.O. Isla de Maipo, Chile ($16.99) - Also made with organic grapes, this is almost colorless, a pale silver with the slightest hint of straw. The wine has a light ripe pineapple aroma, a little oxidized. It has a nice level of fruit concentration and tartness. 75 points.
2004 Badger Mountain N.S.A. Chardonnay, Columbia Valley, Wash. ($14.99) - The blue bottle is weird. This is an organic wine, so it has no added sulfites. The color is a rich, golden, deeply-colored yellow. The aroma is focused and tight. The taste is very balanced, smooth, pleasant and delightfully rich. 88 points.
True Earth Chardonnay, Mendocino, Calif. ($13.49) - This wine is made with organic grapes, and the color is a dull dishwater-yellow. Nevertheless, the aroma is a steely focus of melon and citrus fruit, and the taste is bold and expressive, with a nice creamy richness in the finish. 89 points.
2004 Sonop Merlot, Western Cape, South Africa ($15.99) - This wine is proud to announce that it's vegan. It is a dark amber and ruby red, and the aroma is nice and bright with raspberries and earth tones. The taste is big, dry and bold. The fruit is way in the background, but if you like a simple "Right Bank" Bordeaux, you'll love this. 87 points.
2005 Badger Mountain N.S.A. Cabernet Sauvignon, Columbia Valley, Wash. ($19.49) - Again, no added sulfites. It's a kind of expensive number so it's too bad they had to use an old Blue Nun bottle. Inside, the color is vibrant ruby with a vermillion and purple hue. The aroma has some fruit somewhere, but I'm having a hard time identifying it except that it's on the ripe side of things. The taste is dry, with tight currant fruit. It's a sturdy wine, good for that next organic barbecued steak dinner. 86 points.
True Earth Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot/Petite Syrah, Mendocino, California ($13.49, not pictured) - This wine is made with organic grapes. It's a lovely, deep royal red with a grippy, dry and earthy aroma. The taste is lovely and balanced, a restrained wine. I recommend it if you like dry European-style reds. 89 points.
2004 Nuevomundo Cabernet/Malbec, D.O. Isla de Maipo, Chile ($17.99) -This wine is made with organic grapes. The color is a stunning velvety-rich robe of deep red. The aroma is shy but confident with dark currant fruit and earthiness. The taste is very Bordeaux-like in that it's classic earth, wood and thick, dark-skinned currants. I like this. 90 points.
Another screw-top plus: Wineries that choose to seal the deal with screw caps use less sulfur to stabilize the wines."

Francisco Beltrao


1. NOW Claudius Caesar, by these decrees of his which were sent to Alexandria, and to all the habitable earth, made known what opinion he had of the Jews. So he soon sent Agrippa away to take his kingdom, now he was advanced to a more illustrious dignity than before, and sent letters to the presidents and procurators of the provinces that they should treat him very kindly. Accordingly, he returned in haste, as was likely he would, now lie returned in much greater prosperity than he had before. He also came to Jerusalem, and offered all the sacrifices that belonged to him, and omitted nothing which the law required; (19) on which account he ordained that many of the Nazarites should have their heads shorn. And for the golden chain which had been given him by Caius, of equal weight with that iron chain wherewith his royal hands had been bound, he hung it up within the limits of the temple, over the treasury, (20) that it might be a memorial of the severe fate he had lain under, and a testimony of his change for the better; that it might be a demonstration how the greatest prosperity may have a fall, and that God sometimes raises up what is fallen down: for this chain thus dedicated afforded a document to all men, that king Agrippa had been once bound in a chain for a small cause, but recovered his former dignity again; and a little while afterward got out of his bonds, and was advanced to be a more illustrious king than he was before. Whence men may understand that all that partake of human nature, how great soever they are, may fall; and that those that fall may gain their former illustrious dignity again.
3. When the king had settled the high priesthood after this manner, he returned the kindness which the inhabitants of Jerusalem had showed him; for he released them from the tax upon houses, every one of which paid it before, thinking it a good thing to repay the tender affection of those that loved him. He also made Silas the general of his forces, as a man who had partaken with him in many of his troubles. But after a very little while the young men of Doris, preferring a rash attempt before piety, and being naturally bold and insolent, carried a statue of Caesar into a synagogue of the Jews, and erected it there. This procedure of theirs greatly provoked Agrippa; for it plainly tended to the dissolution of the laws of his country. So he came without delay to Publius Petronius, who was then president of Syria, and accused the people of Doris. Nor did he less resent what was done than did Agrippa; for he judged it a piece of impiety to transgress the laws that regulate the actions of men. So he wrote the following letter to the people of Doris in an angry strain: "Publius Petronius, the president under Tiberius Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, to the civil officers of Doris, ordains as follows: Since some of you have had the boldness, or madness rather, after the edict of Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus was published, for permitting the Jews to observe the laws of their country, not to obey the same, but have acted in entire opposition thereto, as forbidding the Jews to assemble together in the synagogue, by removing Caesar's statue, and setting it up therein, and thereby have offended not only the Jews, but the emperor himself, whose statue is more commodiously placed in his own temple than in a foreign one, where is the place of assembling together; while it is but a part of natural justice, that every one should have the power over the place belonging peculiarly to themselves, according to the determination of Caesar, - to say nothing of my own determination, which it would be ridiculous to mention after the emperor's edict, which gives the Jews leave to make use of their own customs, as also gives order that they enjoy equally the rights of citizens with the Greeks themselves, - I therefore ordain that Proculus Vitellius, the centurion, bring those men to me, who, contrary to Augustus's edict, have been so insolent as to do this thing, at which those very men, who appear to be of principal reputation among them, have an indignation also, and allege for themselves, 'that it was not done with their consent, but by the violence of the multitude, that they may give an account of what hath been done. I also exhort the principal civil officers among them, unless they have a mind to have this action esteemed to be done with their consent, to inform the centurion of those that were guilty of it, and take care that no handle be hence taken for raising a sedition or quarrel among them; which those seem to me to treat after who encourage such doings; while both I myself, and king Agrippa, for whom I have the highest honor, have nothing more under our care, than that the nation of the Jews may have no occasion given them of getting together, under the pretense of avenging themselves, and become tumultuous. And that it may be more publicly known what Augustus hath resolved about this whole matter, I have subjoined those edicts which he hath lately caused to be published at Alexandria, and which, although they may be well known to all, yet did king Agrippa, for whom I have the highest honor, read them at that time before my tribunal, and pleaded that the Jews ought not to be deprived of those rights which Augustus hath granted them. I therefore charge you, that you do not, for the time to come, seek for any occasion of sedition or disturbance, but that every one be allowed to follow their own religious customs."

FBI Declares Samuel Little As The Most Prolific Serial Killer In US History
Stewart Perrie
Last updated 1:24 AM, Tuesday October 08 2019 GMT+1
When you think of infamous American serial killers you immediately think of the likes of Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer and John Wayne Gacy.
While they were no doubt sick, twisted individuals, there is a new name that you should be aware of.
The FBI has just declared Samuel Little as the most prolific serial killer in American history, with his body count tipped to be more than 90.
He was convicted of three murders in California between 1987 and 1989 and one woman in Texas in 1994 and has been serving three consecutive life sentences.
However, during his time behind bars, he's confessed to killing 93 people and the FBI believes each case is credible.
FBI Violent Criminal Apprehension Program Crime Analyst Christie Palazzolo said: "For many years, Samuel Little believed he would not be caught because he thought no one was accounting for his victims.
"Even though he is already in prison, the FBI believes it is important to seek justice for each victim-to close every case possible."

Disturbingly, the crimes weren't concentrated in one area but were committed across the country.

Wise County Sheriff's Office announced he had provided private investigators details on a 'multitude' of murders which he claims to have carried out in Texas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Illinois, Ohio, California, Indiana, Arizona, New Mexico and South Carolina.
A map released by the FBI shows 'victims who have not yet been identified (Jane Does) or to murders described by Samuel Little that have not yet been definitively corroborated by law enforcement'.
To add an even creepier element to the story, Little has drawn portraits of his victims, or at least what he remembers of what they looked like.

His alleged crimes were unearthed in a Channel 4 documentary where Little confessed to murdering more people than he was convicted for.
In the confession, taped by police, he said: "I try to trace back to when I became attracted to a woman's throat."
The documentary, titled Confessions of a Serial Killer, directed by film maker Benjamin Zand, were the first time his confession tapes have been heard.
Giving a clue to how he got away with such crimes, for so long, he explains: "I didn't take chances. I didn't have nobody with me and I pick on motherfuckers that wouldn't be missed. That's why I didn't get busted a long time ago.
"I didn't waste no time digging bodies. I got so crazy I wanted more. That's a curse that I have got."
The FBI is now looking for people to help their investigation into confirming Little was responsible for murdering the women he says he's responsible for.

Crafting a community mine-set: founders of Williams Minecraft server aim to recreate campus
Grady Short
During the lockdowns and stay-at-home orders of COVID-19's first wave in the spring of 2020, a distinct trend spread among college students quarantined at home: building virtual campuses on Minecraft servers. Berkeley students built a replica of their campus — known as "Blockely University" — and held a virtual graduation for the Class of 2020 in its stadium. Brown University students even collaborated with a virtual modeling company to build their campus precisely to scale.
That spring, students at the College did not follow suit. The task of mapping, planning and executing such a large construction project is vast, whether virtual or otherwise. No group of students has stepped up to meet the challenge — until now.
"I thought it would be super cool to do the same thing for Williams," Nick Gonzalez '22 said. Gonzalez, along with four other co-administrators, has led in the creation of the new Williams Minecraft server, which opened Sept. 18. For now, the server consists solely of a survival world — a version of the game in which players are limited to resources they obtain through mining, farming or exploration — but a plan is in the works to begin constructing a virtual campus. Run by Gonzalez and other members of the recently rebranded PC Gaming Club, the server appears to have attracted some students' interest.
"We've had probably 15 to 20 people who have been relatively active," Gonzalez said.

Constructing the virtual campus will pose a formidable challenge. One issue is scale. How does one translate Driscoll, for example, into a world where the dominant unit of measurement is a one-cubic-meter block? How might the builders of a virtual campus determine the proper width of paths and streets?
"Other schools have said they'd used positional data from Google Earth in order to get a rough estimate of, like, where certain buildings should go in relation to others," Gonzalez said. "So that's kind of the plan that we're working with right now."
The other piece of the puzzle is getting an adequate number of students to help build the virtual campus.
"We're looking for as much help as we can get," Gonzalez said. "Anyone who is interested in helping build the virtual campus, we would love to have their help." He added that the server's administrators will publicize a sign-up form once their construction plan is finalized.
Despite the virtual campus being a work in progress, the server still hosts a multiplayer survival world. "I think the server — and any other game, really — serves as a nice, central place for friends to relax and have fun together without worrying about constraints such as social distancing or the inability to meet in person," PC Gaming Club President Abraham Park '22 said.
"Everyone is doing a really good job of being inclusive and respectful and nice to everyone else, so I was really happy to see that," Gonzalez said.
Gonzalez also noted that in the survival server, players have already made considerable progress mining and crafting.

"Since the server was launched, everyone has taken to building their base," Gonzalez said. "Some players have started making farms. There's a lot of automation you can do in Minecraft. So I know some players have delved into making automated farms to get lots of resources."
Though the server was made by and for College students, there has been one noteworthy exception to this rule. "We actually had one member of OIT [the Office for Information Technology] join the server, and I got to chat with him," Gonzalez said.
The employee in question, Networks and Systems Administrator Matthew Baya, spoke favorably of his time on the server.
"I wasn't sure at first if it was okay for a non-student to join but everyone was very welcoming," Baya said. "I built my own house and mine near the spawn point and put all the resources I found in chests saying, 'Take what you want, leave what you don't.' I also explored a bit and found a huge settlement where clearly others had been building much nicer houses than I had built, which was rather humbling."
For the past seven years, Baya has taught a course on Minecraft as part of the "Adventures in Learning" program at Williamstown Elementary School, sponsored by the College's Center for Learning in Action.
"Up until this Williams server was created, I didn't know there was any interest in Minecraft with Williams students — but then it occured to me that an 11-year old at Adventures in Learning 2013 would be in college now," Baya said.
On top of camaraderie and community, the survival server features some beautiful, randomly generated terrain. And when it comes time for the virtual campus to be constructed, at least one feature will surely be effortless to build: the marble blocks.
The server's IP address is play.williamsmc.xyz. As of press time, it is on Java edition 1.16.3.
