Хинтертукс () — ледник в австрийских Альпах на вершине одноимённой горы высотой 3250 м, известный горнолыжный курорт с круглогодичным катанием.

Ледник расположен в конце долины Циллерталь, практически замыкая её. Название ледника переводится с немецкого «за горкой» и связано, по-видимому, с тем, что по отношению к долине ледник находится за небольшим перевалом. На восточном склоне ледника расположена горнолыжная зона катания. С 1968 года на леднике действует первая в Тироле круглогодичная зона катания.

Vote up the best actresses who won Oscars and Golden Globes for the same role.
The Golden Globes and the Academy Awards don't always go hand in hand, whether its Best Picture, Best Director, or any of the acting or technical categories. There are a couple of reasons for this, mainly that there are two different voting bodies for each. The Golden Globes are voted on by the Hollywood Foreign Press, the Oscars by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
Additionally, the Golden Globes have separate categories for dramas and comedies/musicals. This splits the performances and subsequently causes mismatches when compared to the Oscars, which have one pool for each nomination category. Sometimes, however, an actress's performance is too powerful, too memorable to not be noticed by both. There are a handful of actresses who won an Oscar and Golden Globe for the same role. Sometimes, the same actress has even won both awards more than once. Here is the complete list of the famous actresses who won an Oscar and Golden Globe in the same year.
Vote up the best actresses who double dipped during awards season, being showered with praise and shiny statues by both the Academy and the Hollywood Foreign Press.

We at Victoria Abadi Therapies understand that someone using substances can affect the whole family and how people behave and relate to each other. Often the family members suffering goes unnoticed or can be viewed as not as important as the 'addicted persons'. We recognise that the family as a whole, or individual family members can start to become emotionally unwell due to the stress of caring for their loved one who is using.
It can often be hard to know if what you are doing is really helping and how much you are being affected by someone else's behaviours.
It is also sometimes difficult to recognise that the family might need professional help as the focus is often on the person using. Some family members may say things like ' it's not me with the problem, it's his or hers using that is the issue'. It's hard to accept that their issues impact on everybody around them and consequently family members forget to look after themselves. This can result in stress, anxiety, depression, anger and a sense of hopelessness.
One to one counselling- where you can talk safely to someone about your situation. This is a confidential space where you can explore how you are affected by your loved ones using and look at ways of moving forwards.
Family sessions- where the family can come together to sit down and look at the problems and possible solutions with everyone involved.
Structured groups- an 8 week structured group to help the family both understand and learn more about addiction and gain support from other families in similar situations. There is great therapeutic benefit in knowing you are not alone with your problems. The group explores ways of staying emotionally well balanced whilst a loved one is using. It aims to teach members about detachment, enabling, codependancy and improve communications within the family.
Victoria Abadi has been working in the field of addiction for the past 21 years. For the past 17 years she has been working as a qualified MBACP counsellor. She is very proud to have been part of inspiring change within addicted families for the past 2 decades.

Designer Handbags are always in fashion, they are classy and most women have it. What is even more in fashion these days are printed bags and these are not the everyday printed bags, these are printed bags of your favorite Disney characters. Well, most of you might think that these are for kids, well that's absolutely not true.
Disney handbags are for everyone these. It has become a fashion statement and it is time for you to set the trend. There are cute handbags; some of them are hot and some gorgeous. What we love the most is, of course, the print on these bags. Let's take a look at what we have for Disney lovers.
We have all loved the movie Frozen; this frozen themed bag looks very cute and adorable. The bag is pink in colour and there are the snowflakes in blue and white. Among all this clutter are Elsa and Anna's pictures with their pretty dresses. To give it a more retro feel there are polka dots on it. This bag is made out of cotton, in the inside is spacious and also beautifully designed.
Disney princess has always made us go 'AWWW' and so has this bag. This pink cute handbag has Pretty as a Princess written on one side of it whereas the other side has designs on it with all the famous Disney princess. This can be carried both by adults and children and it is ought to definitely look adorable.
This is a rather small bag that is nothing but a sling. It has a single strap and the bag is made of cotton, has the classic Disney symbol on it. This can be carried for casual events when you don't have a lot of stuff to be carried. It is ideally suitable for just a mobile and a wallet.
Be it a brunch or just a normal day at work or even for college, this bag is suitable for any and almost all events. It looks classy and cute at the same time. The print on it has the Disney characters but has been brought out very subtly and in an elegant manner. The brown handle and sling are leather that makes it look even better. Overall with this bag, you will look like a complete fashionista.
If your little girl has a fancy dress at school or she has to dress up, don't let her go empty handed. This beaded Disney bag is going to make her quite popular at school. The pink and white beads are used to make the handle and the small little bag has Minnie mouse on it. Isn't it a cute handbag?
Girls, it is time to flaunt your bag in college. This leather bag is made of the brightest and best colour, red. Red might be loud but is also a very attractive colour. The Minnie mouse on the side of it is equally attractive. Overall this bag is a must buy.
Vintage bags have always caught our attention. They not only look retro but also give out a sense of classiness and uniqueness. They might not be as good looking as modern age bags but they definitely are truly elegant.
After Fringe handbags, tote bags become quite famous and this particular one with the mickey and Minnie mouse theme has got to be the cutest. It is simple and nice. Subtle colors used which make it look very attractive.
Comic strips are always eye catching and that is how this bag caught our attention. Took us back in time and we are sure it will make you feel the same. This bag is fashionable, in mod and has a vintage touch to it. The leather of course is classy which is why it can be an office bag also.
This is another simple handbag design with just Mickey Mouse head, done with beads of course. The red colour bag is very attractive.
Leopard handbags may or may not be in fashion but Disney handbags are very much in fashion these days. It almost felt like we need to own them all.

The network adapters allow you to connect your existing NMEA0183 equipment to an NMEA2000 network.
Using the NGW-1-ISO, you can convert NMEA0183 data to NMEA2000 data and vice versa. The NGW-1-ISO / STNG is preconfigured for NMEA0183 data at a baud rate of 4,800. This is standard as an example for the use of GPS, depth & wind data. The NGW-1-STNG also comes with an adapter cable for the Raymarine SeaTalkNG system.
For converting NMEA0183 AIS data, the NGW-1-ISO-AIS is necessary since it is configured to a baud rate of 38,400.


You probably have 2,000 or more active clients that you haven't seen in more than 18 months. They are certainly out of compliance, they may have moved on, or they are just busy and haven't thought about pet care recently. It's time to get them back in the door!
We have a variety of different postcard types that you can choose from.
All of your clients will receive reminders for their vaccines, annuals, and anything else you have in your practice management system. We'll always send these reminders digitally first to save you money on postcards.

Chad regrets his decision after sending Courtney home!
After sending Courtney home, Chad reconsiders his decision in Love Island Season 4, Episode 30. He is still dealing with conflicting feelings. He chose Mackenzie, but instead of bonding with her, he's more attracted to Phoebe. Meanwhile, Joel is looking for a serious relationship and needs Phoebe to support him. Is Phoebe the Right Option? It doesn't look like it. Meanwhile, Isaiah will be happy to be back with his girl. Keep reading to know more.
Love Island Season 4 Episode 30: What Happens Next?
In the next episode, Mackenzie sits down with Joel. She will tell him everything she saw in the makeup room. Joel is shocked and decides to speak to Phoebe. Phoebe will finally come to terms with the fact that she loves Chad, and maybe Chad feels the same. Well, Chad will have conflicting thoughts, and he will have a chat with Timmy. He'll advise Chad to follow his heart, and maybe he'll consider his decision. Joel will feel the same and give Mackenzie a chance.
A quick summary!
The previous episode started with a rematch round. It started with Timmy staying with Zeta, and Jesse staying with his connection, Deb. Isaiah returned to Sydney and Joel chose Phoebe. Jeff stayed with Nadjha. But Chad chose Mackenzie over Courtney. He said he wanted to investigate his connection to Mackenzie and said goodbye to Courtney. It left everyone surprised, especially Zeta. She cried over Chad's decision. Well, Courtney was her good friend. Timmy, however, comforted her. He stayed next to her the whole time. Soon after, Zeta told him she was in love with him, and he said the same thing.
Meanwhile, Isaiah was glad he didn't have to sleep in the daybed anymore. They talked about their feelings and hugged. As for Nadjha, she talked about Phoebe's connection to Chad in front of Mackenzie. It didn't bother her though. Joel was looking for material for a woman in Phoebe, but she wasn't ready. She said she was in Chad and was trying to find a way to contact him. Phoebe pulled Chad into the makeup room and kissed him. Mackenzie unfortunately came in and saw everything. Elsewhere, Jeff told Nadjha that he fell for her, and she said the same.

You invited me to a webinar. With the help of your analytical marketing team, you designed a form to get to join me. While your goal is to maximize your ROI, you designed an experience to fill out a form with way too much information, with way too much work for me to care. While you focused on your short-term ROI goals, you forgot that you designed an experience that I well never forget. If you designed a path filled with hurdles, I want to forget you as quick as I can. If your goal was to eliminate as many hurdles as possible, I will remember you until the end of time.
When I go to a doctor, I have to fill out forms. When I want to become a member of a new platform, I have to fill out a form. It's a powerful proposition and the way you design that process will forever determine how I feel about your brand.
Here's your paradigm shift: It's not about your goals, it's about the goals of your customers. You need to change your attitude, change your forms, change your mindset. Customers are running your business. Just deal with it.
There are many terrible DJ's out there. I know, because I am one of them.
What makes a terrible DJ?
When you start out as a DJ, nobody pays attention to you. You play at times when nobody wants to dance and everybody just wants to drink and socialize.
You push the power button to 150%. You play hits, bang it out. No interludes. No build-ups. No rest. Bang. Bang. Bang.
The result? You tire out the audience, they're spent by the time the main act starts, and your reputation is ruined forever. Everybody can bang out hits after hits. That wasn't your job. Your job was to take people on a journey, to get them ready for the main act. The empty dance floor pushed you to a place you didn't want to go to. But you did.
In the digital marketing world, we all face this dilemma.
You can put the pedal to the medal and try to get as much attention as possible. No matter what people say, it works. Over time, the returns diminish and you have to push harder and harder. Louder and louder.
Or you can start your marketing performance, wait for somebody to listen and take this person on a journey. Others might stop and listen. That's secondary because your goal is to seduce one. And let them spread the word for you.
Unlike DJ's, there's nothing wrong with either approach. However, you need to stick with your choice. You can't transform from a coffee house into a rave club. Or vice versa.
Just look at your brand and ask yourself: Do I want to get as much attention as possible? Or, do I want to give as much attention as possible?
So, what's the next big thing?
Is it going to location-based marketing? Hyper-local marketing? Google+? Facebook's timeline? Twitter ads? Social Search? What about the convergence of mobile and social? Touchscreen computing?
Nobody knows what the next big thing is going to be. Nobody. More importantly, you shouldn't be concerned about it. We haven't even figured out the basics of digital marketing yet.
All true but it doesn't instill any confidence in our clients when we sell our arsenal of digital tools with a major asterisk attached to them.
We need to fix digital marketing from scratch.
Display advertising? Clearly, we need to start from scratch. We have optimized the delivery of ad units to customers but the creative side of the equation continues to be abysmal. The declining click-through rates are proof of that.
Social Media? Most companies have still not understood the power of Social Media. 95% of marketing efforts on social platforms continue to be megaphone-style, mass marketing efforts. Cutting down the power of Social Marketing to almost nothing.
Location-based marketing? Coupons are nice but they are not the be-all and end-all of location-based marketing strategies. By focusing on pure coupon play, you're missing out in great opportunities.
The next big thing is already there.
Actually, there are many next big things. You're just not using them properly yet. You're not innovating enough using all these new platforms.
Let's try to ride the bike properly first.
I just attended a media conference. And I was shocked to realize that the digital industry is still stuck in the old accountability paradigm. Our standard ROI measure is still the difference between the cost of the campaign and the cost of reaching the same number of people in more conventional media.
That is not return on investment. It's the kind of measurement that lead us almost to the financial abyss.
It's silly accounting, just like the CDO's, the derivatives and the other financial instruments that almost turned our economy into a barter society. The only metric that should count is the incremental profit that your marketing executions generated for your business.
Instead, we focus on silliness like click throughs, cost per impression, cost per action, page views, unique views, engagement rates.
It seems to be a real challenge for marketer to measure incremental profit. Or, maybe they just focus on the wrong metric, on things that make no sense but can be aggregated fairly quickly.
I know, it's hard to measure incremental profit. But it's only the admission ticket to the big boy table, to talk business to the CEO. And not bright, shiny objects with the Marketing Manager.
Blame the addiction to accountability.
Accountability sounds great, doesn't it? You can explain each penny you invested for your client, you can show wise use of the budget and explain what happened with all his money. It's also a good way to show the client that you're so much better in investing money compared to the other, wasteful agencies. The sad truth is that what you measure makes no difference. You're just measuring efficiency, not the impact of advertising. That's why we're in this spiral of cheaper and quicker and more efficient. The race to the bottom, the race to the be the next forgettable commodity.
I've never met a CEO who cares how you spent his money.
They care if marketing has an impact on the bottom line. Did it make the business more profitable? Did it grow the business? Digital Marketing needs to get out of that hole (we all dug ourselves) to focus on efficiency. It's about impact.
Here's a question for you: Would you rather have no money wasted, deploy the most efficient campaign but have little impact? Or, would you rather waste 90% of your money, but the remaining 10% grow your overall business by 20%?
Nobody says you should waste a dime. But the addiction to accountability creates silly communication vehicles (ahem….Zynga) and burns so much money for clients, it' s tragic. We develop brand fluff on all these social platforms and pointless display ads to make it even worse. Highly measurable, Excel spreadsheet adoptable and totally useless.
If you think that's okay, keep on trucking. But, don't expect anyone to take you seriously for one second. The real game is in changing the future of a brand, improving the balance sheet of a company. For that, we need a measurement intervention.
This post was first featured on Jack Myers' MediaBizBloggers site.
When I started in this business, my friends thought I joined the crazy club. See, I have a law degree and none of my friends at that time worked in advertising and media. They believed advertising was all about creative types roller-skating down hallways, wearing over-designed frames, month-long shoots in exotic places, long nights in the advertising type bar and endless weekends spent on coming up with silly ideas.
Let me in on a secret: It was even better. Much better.
Sure, we worked long hours. Often months without a day off. I considered myself lucky to be home by 3am. Sometimes I was unlucky and was already home at midnight. It makes me feel really old when I describe those times to people that are in their 20's.
They never experienced those times. They never experienced advertising as an art form. They consider it a business. Timesheets, performance reviews, forced company fun and all.
I'm glad our industry transformed into a business. Some of the ideas we recommended in the past were silly. Or made no sales impact. I'm happy that we measure sales impact, ROI and all the other good stuff that communicates to people what we do has value.
But, we have gone too far. We're too serious. We're too focused on data and metrics. We want to out-business our business partners. And, on the way, we lost some of the pixie dust that made our business so magical. Threatening the whole industry to become a commodity.
Good advertising is based on good ideas. Good ideas are rare. They are like plants that only flourish under very specific conditions. It takes very special people to take the small seed of an idea, dream big and imagine what an impact that idea could have. And, most importantly, instill that small seed of passion into their team, their executives and clients.
Sure, good ideas come from insights. They come from understanding business. But they also come from tapping into our inner child. Our silliness. Playfulness. Creativity.
No need to dust off the roller skates, relive the past and revel in nostalgia. But maybe, just maybe we should visit the crazy club more often. And just have plain fun.
The privacy discussion gets us nowhere. The ROI discussion will.
Listened to an interesting discussion last night at the Monaco Media Forum, featuring Alain Lévy, CEO of Weborama (France). Especially interesting since we tend to be too US-centric when discussing privacy issues and how data should be utilized.
Alain Lévy brought up the idea of "the right to be forgotten", a new principle for the Social Web to be able to eliminate embarrassing or questionable content associated with us. ( The 5am picture).
A few people brought up the idea that we need to develop a fair contract between advertisers and people, just like the implied TV contract (You enjoy this show for free and watch commercials in return).
Some regard the current targeting techniques as "sneaky" and not a sustainable strategy.
While I think the idea of "the right to be forgotten" is interesting, I believe it would be too complicated, too complex and implies a flawless execution. (Good luck.) As much as I was delighted to see that all of us in the media/marketing world continue to discuss privacy and control issues, I was still surprised that nobody brought up the idea that users should own their own data. And I'm starting to have the feeling, any further discussions of privacy doesn't change the core issue.
As I wrote before, sharing your data on your own terms, having complete control of your personal data would eliminate all the demands for regulations and new rules.It seems we're making things more complicated than they should be. The "deal" that marketers always bring up when talking about targeting, is not a deal. Nobody ever negotiated with people, we just started to assume that people are okay with it. The majority of people don't care about targeting, even worse for brands: they don't care about advertising because we still try to play a guessing game. All the data we collect is distilled into assumptions of people. The assumption somebody else has of my identity is not the real me. We collect more data points about a person than any data aggregation technology when we talk to them for 1 minute. Would you base your marketing spend on that one minute?
The waste in advertising dollars on false assumptions will lead to a real contract. People will share their data and intentions with brands, leading to a much more efficient and effective marketplace. We can talk about privacy, regulations and laws all day long. It won't change the structure of our business. A mind-blowing ROI will.

World Series History
door koen | nov 21, 2019 | Geen onderdeel van een categorie | 0 Reacties
The first official World Series was contested in 1903 between the Boston Americans (now the Boston Red Sox) and the Pittsburgh Pirates (Currently the Pittsburgh Pirates).
Boston upset Pittsburgh five games to three. Yes, you read that it was an eight-game series.
The American League has won 65 of those 114 World Series championships. The Yankees lead the charge with 27 titles in just 40 looks — something Yankees fans won't let you forget… EVER.
The showing from the American League is the Oakland Athletics, who have won nine of the 14 appearances. A few of those looks came when they were the Philadelphia Athletics when the group was established in Kansas City, and not one came. The Red Sox have won eight of their 12 appearances and such as the Yankees, their fans won't let you forget it.
In the National League, St. Louis is in the lead with 11 wins in its own 19 appearances, followed by the San Francisco Giants — formerly the New York Giants of the"Shot heard'round the world!" Fame — winning eight of their 20 appearances. The LA Dodgers have won half of the 18 appearances with some of those wins happening when the team was based in Brooklyn.
There are still two teams that have to play at a World Series — the Seattle Mariners and the Washington Nationals. A number people are OK with that because the Montreal Expos never made it to the World Series and now it's DC's turn to endure.
A group hasn't won consecutive World Series since the Yankees took the championship in 1998, 1999 and 2000. Bear in mind the core ? Only one of these was recorded from the Mitchell Report.

A large body of human clinical research indicates a strong association in depression between mothers and daughters, while many previous animal studies have shown that female offspring are more likely than males to show changes in emotion-associated brain structures in response to maternal prenatal stress. Until now, however, there have been few studies that attempted to link the two streams of research, said lead author Fumiko Hoeft, MD, PhD, a UCSF associate professor of psychiatry.
The finding does not mean that mothers are necessarily responsible for their daughters' depression, Hoeft said. "Many factors play a role in depression - genes that are not inherited from the mother, social environment, and life experiences, to name only three. Mother-daughter transmission is just one piece of it.
"But this is the first study to bridge animal and human clinical research and show a possible matrilineal transmission of human corticolimbic circuitry, which has been implicated in depression, by scanning both parents and offspring," said Hoeft, who directs the UCSF Hoeft Laboratory for Educational Neuroscience. "It opens the door to a whole new avenue of research looking at intergenerational transmission patterns in the human brain."
The study was published in the Journal of Neuroscience on January 27, 2016.
The corticolimbic system includes the amygdala, hippocampus, anterior cingulate cortex and ventromedial prefrontal cortex. Hoeft and her research team used non-invasive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to measure grey matter volume (GMV) in the corticolimbic systems of parents and their biological offspring from 35 healthy families. None of the family members were diagnosed with depression. The association between mothers' and daughters' corticolimbic GMV was significantly greater than that between mothers and sons, fathers and sons, and fathers and daughters.
The study is the first to use MRI in both parents and their children to study intergenerational transmission of the pattern of brain structures, said Hoeft. "This gives us a potential new tool to better understand depression and other neuropsychiatric conditions, as most conditions seem to show intergenerational transmission patterns," she said. "Anxiety, autism, addition, schizophrenia, dyslexia, you name it - brain patterns inherited from both mothers and fathers have an impact on just about all of them."
One limitation of the study, said Hoeft, is that it does not differentiate between the potential effects of genetics, prenatal conditions and postnatal conditions on the inheritance of brain structures. She hopes that a new study funded by the UCSF Academic Senate, which is just getting under way, will address that shortcoming.
Hoeft and her team will use MRI to study brain structures in families where children have been conceived and delivered using different types of in vitro fertilization (IVF).
The researchers will image the brains of parents and children in families where the birth mother was implanted with a donor egg; families where a surrogate was implanted with the biological mother's egg; and families where the mother was implanted with her own fertilized egg in a procedure known as homologous IVF.
"With donor eggs, there is no maternal genetic input, but there is maternal prenatal and postnatal influence," Hoeft explained. "In gestational surrogacy, there is genetic and postnatal input from the biological mother, but no prenatal input. With homologous IVF, there are maternal genetic, prenatal and postnatal influences. Comparison of these three groups allows us to control for potential effects of the IVF procedure itself."
By studying these different family groups, she said, "we will for the very first time be able to examine, and hopefully distinguish between, the effects of genetics, prenatal environment and postnatal environment on brain function, structure, and cognitive function."
While Hoeft and her team are funded to look at corticolimbic circuitry, "this does not preclude our looking at other brain systems," she said. "We will be examining the language network, the reward system, and different networks implicated in psychosis. We will cast a wide net, gain a lot of information and maximize this fantastic opportunity."
Other authors of the current study are Roeland Hancock, PhD, and Tony Yang, MD, PhD, of UCSF; Bun Yamagata, MD, PhD, and Masaru Mimura, MD, PhD, of Keio University School of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan; Kou Murayama, PhD, of the University of Reading, Reading, UK; Jessica Black, PhD, of Boston College; and Allan Reiss, MD, of Stanford University.
The study was supported by funds from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, the National Institute of Mental Health, the National Science Foundation, the UCSF Dyslexia Center, a UCSF Academic Senate Award, a UCSF-CCC Neuroscience Fellowship and the Dennis & Shannon Wong - DSEA '88 Foundation.

3. Practising studiousness and intellectual seriousness
The following set of Rules and Regulations are intended to assist pupils in the pursuit of their studies and the execution of their associated activities. Here, personal organisation, solid routines and academic rigour are all paramount. Moreover, pupils are to adopt attitudes that are open and educable, and to be patient and persistent in the pursuit of their studies. Superficiality and distraction need to be avoided and staff will help to counsel pupils in concentrating their focus and doing the hard work necessary to form the mind.
a. Pupil Diary
Pupils are to carry their Pupil Diary with them at all times. At the beginning of each lesson, they are to place it on the desk in front of them, so that it is accessible to all staff. They are to record their homework in it, in line with their teacher's instructions. Pupils are to ensure that parents sign the Pupil Diary each week for ongoing monitoring purposes, and to ensure that the communication channels between home and School are open and frequent. It is a key component in ensuring the good organisation of pupil studies.
b. Academic integrity
Pupils are expected to be honest about their School work at all times; copying others' work, plagiarism and cheating in coursework, school tests or examinations, are serious offences for which a pupil may be excluded from School. In all cases regarding public examinations, all instances will be communicated to the appropriate awarding bodies and in some instances the pupil concerned may be withdrawn from some or all of their examinations. In all cases a record will be kept on the pupil's file. For all public examinations pupils must observe the regulations pertaining to that exam and these are published on the Examination Office notice board.
Pupils will not normally be allowed to enter as private candidates to sit public examinations at another school or examination centre. Such requests should be made in writing to the Headmaster.
c. Homework and Homework Tickets
Homework is an essential part of the normal curriculum and pupils cannot fulfil the requirements of the course unless they make a solid attempt at all of the homework set. A pupil must enter the homework that has been set in their Pupil Diary. Teachers will enter the homework on 'Show My Homework' and pupils and parents may check this information at home. Homework should be completed on the day on which it is set. Parents are asked to initial all main exercises to show that their child has spent the required amount of time on these and to sign their Pupil Diary each weekend. Where a pupil appears to have an inadequate amount of homework, parents should inform the Headmaster.
Pupils who fail to hand in work at the correct time may receive a homework ticket. The procedure to be followed is printed on the ticket. Pupils who fail to report at 8.20am with a homework ticket and work must report to the designated senior member of staff during afternoon form period that day.
Pupils who receive five homework tickets in a term will have to attend Homework Centre from 3.45pm-4.45pm for one week. They will be expected to report to the teacher on duty who will record their attendance. Further accumulation of homework tickets may result in a Saturday Detention.
d. Use of the School computing facilities and Internet
The curriculum network and internet facilities at the School are provided for pupils to do homework, coursework, prep, undertake research and communicate with others. Pupils should only use the computers for schoolwork, except during a co-curricular activity supervised by member of staff. Pupils are expected to honour the agreement made with the School concerning the use of internet facilities. Access is a privilege, not a right, and the privilege will be withdrawn if it is abused in any way.
Files, logs of internet use and e-mail messages sent and received, stored on servers or disks cannot be regarded as confidential and may be inspected by members of staff from time to time to ensure that the system is being used properly. There are automatic programs which will search for unacceptable material and which will keep a record of all use of the networks by pupils.
Behaviour by a pupil which, either through social networks or the Internet, brings the good name and reputation of the School into disrepute, or any misuse of the School's computer facilities by pupils, including accessing inappropriate web sites and materials or exchanging inappropriate e-mail messages, will be regarded as a very serious breach of school discipline. Pupils and their parents should be aware that the provisions of the Computer Misuse Act 1990 apply to the use of computer facilities at the School by pupils and that pupils who breach the provisions of the Act may be prosecuted.
e. Mobile phones and personal computers
A pupil may not bring a mobile phone or a personal computer (smartphones, laptop, notebook, PDA, tablet etc.) to School.
1. Practising respect for self and the good name of the School
2. Practising civility, fairness and kindness towards God and neighbour
4. Practising self-command and personal orderliness

Q: Problem with heredoc statement I am trying to replace the HTML code with a heredoc statement. However, I am getting a parse error in the last line.I am sure that I have not left any leading space or indentation on the heredoc closing tag line.Following is a part of the code:
$table = <<<ENDHTML

    Show I.D
    Show Name

    ENDHTML;
    while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
            extract($row);
            $table .= <<<ENDHTML

                $showid2
                $showname2

    ENDHTML;
    }
    $table .= <<<ENDHTML

<$num_shows Shows

    ENDHTML;
    echo $table;
    ?>

Where is the problem?
I have a related question in addition to above. As a coding practice, is it better to use PHP code throughout or is it better to use a heredoc syntax. I mean, while in PHP mode, the script bounces back and forth between the HTML and PHP code.
So, which is the preferred method?

A: From the PHP manual about the Heredoc syntax:

The closing identifier must begin in the first column of the line.

And a little later in the nice red Warning box:

It is very important to note that the line with the closing identifier must contain no other characters, except possibly a semicolon (;). That means especially that the identifier may not be indented, and there may not be any spaces or tabs before or after the semicolon.

So you need to write the code like this to comply with the syntax specification:
$table = <<<ENDHTML

    Show I.D
    Show Name

ENDHTML;
    while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
                extract($row);
                $table .= <<<ENDHTML

                        $showid2
                        $showname2

ENDHTML;
    }
    $table .= <<<ENDHTML

<$num_shows Shows

ENDHTML;
    echo $table;

It's up to you if you really want to use that.

A: If this code is exactly what you are using, then there are a number of spaces down the left hand side with the exception of the first $table = <<<ENDHTML line. The ending heredoc needs to be exactly left-aligned with no spaces, tabs or other characters to the left of it.

A:
<$num_shows Shows

Is that an extraneous '<' character before $num_shows?

A: Guys, finally I succeeded in getting the parse error out of my way (phew!!). I just rewrote the code and it worked. Here is the code:
$table = <<<ABC

  Show I.D
  Show Name
  Show Genre

ABC;
  while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
  {
      extract($row);
$table .= <<<ABC

      $showid2
      $showname2
      $showtype2_label

ABC;
  }
$table .= <<<ABC

$num_shows Shows

ABC;

echo $table;

A: Wouldn't this pose a problem?

ENDHTML;

You should probably:

  ENDHTML;

Edit:
Formatting failed ... and Richy C. said the same in the meantime :( I just meant to show that the first ENDHTML;has whitespace in front of it.

A: Edit: changed to ob and back and now the loop works for me ...
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
    extract($row);
    $table .= <<< ENDHTML

        $showid2
        $showname2

ENDHTML;
}

Pitcairn men appeal Supreme Court decision
ANGWIN, CALIF., May 12, 2004 ------ Seven Pitcairn Island men, earlier charged with sexual criminality, today directed their public defender to appeal a Pitcairn Supreme Court decision that Great Britain has sovereignty over Pitcairn Island and thus the power to bring them to trial.
In a press release, Pitcairn Public Defender Paul Dacre said, "The Public Defender for the Pitcairn Islands has received instructions from the seven accused on Pitcairn Island to file appeals against the determinations of the Supreme Court made in their decision delivered on 19 April 2004."
The appeals the public defender will be bringing are against eight determinations of the Supreme Court which were handed down on April 19, all relating to an assertion that Great Britain has the authority to try those who have been accused of criminal acts on Pitcairn Island covering a sweep of some 40 years.
The accusations grew out of contacts by a British policewoman with Pitcairn Islanders in the late 1990s.
After more than four years of delays through various moves by the British government and those accused, "The Pitcairn Trials" as they have come to be known, seem little closer to going to actual trial than at any time in the past.
Public Defender Dacre is being assisted in the appeals process by Deputy Public Defender Allan Roberts and the Hon. Adrian Cook QC. The three will leave Auckland, New Zealand, on Sunday, May 23, 2004, for Pitcairn Island "to obtain full instructions on all aspects of the case and make decisions as to the future conduct of the case" in counsel with the accused Pitcairn men.

(New York, NY) – In support of his first new studio album in nearly a decade, TRANSFORM, new wave icon/synth pioneer Howard Jones will headline a massive North American summer tour kicking off in June. Also featured on the tour will be Men Without Hats and All Hail The Silence (featuring BT). Of the upcoming tour, Howard Jones commented, "I'm super excited to be touring this Summer in the US and Canada. I'll be playing cuts from my new album Transform as well as my fans favourites. BT has collaborated on 3 tracks on the new album and his band All Hail The Silence will be our special guests alongside my buddies Men Without Hats. I'm sure there will be some amazing interaction between the bands! Can't wait for this tour!" Please see below for tour dates; more dates will be announced. Howard Jones' TRANSFORM is due out May 10th worldwide.
Men Without Hats' latest studio album, Love In The Age of War, was released in May 2012 to the widespread acclaim of critics and the universal enthusiasm of fans.
1980s Retro: Rhythm of Youth Revisited!
Although Love In The Age of War is Men Without Hats' first full-length release in 21 years, all eleven tracks on the album hearken back to the early 1980s. Those were the days when the band's unique electronic sound, illustrated best by 1983 hit song and universally iconic anthem, "The Safety Dance," first launched Men Without Hats onto the global pop music scene.
'80s synth pop-inspired electronic duo formed by trance producer BT and former BBMak vocalist Christian Burns.


As many of you know we're trying to get the club boats back into good enough shape to be able to race with all gear working without sinking etc.
The first step has been completed with Mike Jones' boat (thank you very much Mike) brought back into service. I sailed it on Sunday and it goes very nicely. I need to add some sealant round the centreboard bolt but otherwise it seems good. The centreboard will tend to float up unless you engage the elastic. There are two elastics, one using the front toe strap blocks just to hold the plate up when on the trolley etc. The other has to be pulled forwards over the whole plate and the front of the plate case. That tensions the cord which then provided just enough to keep the plate down.
If you use the boat or see anyone using the boat please make sure that the plate down elastic and the boom out elastic are loosened when the boat is put away and the plate holding up elastic is engaged.
The next steps will be Paul Playle's old hull which will get the rig from the old wooden boat which has gone too rotten to effectively repair, and then we are looking to replace the leaky old glass hulls with non-leaky probably marginally newer but similar technology to get back to four functional boats which are in seaworthy condition.
More on this as we complete the exercise. I plan to sail each boat once or twice as it is placed back into the fleet to prove that they work adequately for club races and make sure the rig setup is sensible.
Particularly for our newer members – if you would like me to check your rig setup I'm happy to swap boats for a race to help set yours up and also so you can see/feel how my rig is set up. Once we get coaching going on Tues evenings that will also be a good time to try things.
The biggest point from the race is just how much opportunity there was for gains and losses – although Roy didn't get past his relative position changed hugely in the race. Also I see from the results that Mervyn got past Peter who at one stage seemed to have a decent gap.
I aimed to sail the boat fairly simply and just concentrate on getting the best out of it concentrating on keeping flat and looking for stronger winds. As a boat that I didn't know, I set the rig up by putting the mast heel at the front most position (for older boats that's pretty much the best you can do). Then I used the tried and tested method of forestay just tight with the mast at the back of the gate and shrouds just tight with the mast at the front of the gate (no chocks in as we do that). Then I put the chock in front of the mast. That's a good basic setup for an older boat gives about as much rake as you can get (newer boats allow more because the mast heel can go further forwards).
Downwind involved lots of sail trimming especially on the reaches – the wind was shifting a lot – then on the runs trying to get in a gust and ride the gust by sailing dead downwind, gybing if necessary. When Roy was on my tail I made sure I kept my wind clear (he was of course trying to gently position himself to block my wind) but at the same time looking ahead to the next mark to make sure that I would be on the inside even if Roy gained an overlap. Upwind when Roy was close trying to use the shifts but also keeping half an eye on where Roy was going to stay roughly between him and the next mark. On the last lap when the wind was going lighter I concentred on staying between Roy and the mark which meant I didn't always take the best shifts – taking the shifts is a bit like the stock market. On average the investments will gain, but you may get a bad shift and a short term loss. On the last lap I tend to sail more defensively (like switching to low risk investments) not looking for big gains and even prepared to let Roy gain but knowing I would always be between him and the mark so if he got close he would have to sail through my backwind. That relies on being able to tack well so that you do not lose lots by making more tacks especially near the windward mark. So on the early laps I'm looking to exploit every advantage and back my judgement on wind shifts gusts etc. On the last lap I'll be more defensive because there's always a risk that I will get one big shift horribly wrong. The more you can keep a view on what other boats are doing the more you can balance your strategy – much like balancing a portfolio and reducing risks as you approach retirement when you won't have time to make up for any short term loss..
I'm sure you are fed up with me saying how important it is to be able to tack really well but it is hard to overemphasis it!
Sunday looks like gentle winds and maybe just maybe not quite so cold… we can only hope.


I'm glad that you love it, Trini.
Thank you very much, Rajiv.
Such a well choreographed shot Rabirius. The train has such a weary look . . .
Thank you very much, Patti.
Ce surpriză plăcută!? Probabil este vorba de parcul din Chișinău, Moldova. Felicitări pentru scrierea corectă, cu diacritice!!!
Da, parcul este la Chișinău.
Looks my me after teaching all day.
Thank makes me curious: What do you teach?
As Ansel says, a good photograph is knowing where to stand… fantastic shot, Rabirius.
Thank you very much, Jane!
I'm glad you like it, Richard!
Interesting in so many ways.
I thought so as well. There are so many things happening in this scene, I had a lot of work crating an element to focus on.
Great photo. Sitting, standing, stepping, on wheels… big mosaic of the human movement! Congratulations.
I'm glad you like it, Rafael.

Q: Numero mayor a 5 en arraylist java Estoy haciendo un ejercicio de clase de unos alumnos los cuales los datos están dentro de un arraylist. El ejercicio manda que si los alumnos tienen una nota igual o superior a 5 se debe guardar en un fichero llamado aprobados y si tienen menos de 5 a suspensos. He intentado hacer un método recorriendo el arraylist y ver con un if si esa nota es igual o mayor a cinco pero me da error como ilegal start expresion.

I was thinking the other day about the pit falls of leasing. Many TV ads and newspaper ads tout low payments yet skim by the "small print" so fast you can't even read it. Only to find out too late that your lease only allows for 8,000 to 10,000 miles per year, or you need $3500.00 due at signing, making that monthly payment much more than you anticipated when you add it all up. Oh how those over mile fees can kill you some are even more than 25 cents per mile, so those overages can cost much more than it would have if you had just bought the vehicle instead of leasing. The other thing is that you own nothing when the lease is over you used and paid for that much use of the car now you have to come up with down payment again where owning the car gives you some equity. More thoughts on this another time.

From Reconnaissance to Scrutineering—Final Countdown to Racing.
March 2, 2011 /1 Comment/in Mexico, North America, Travelogue /by allan
The preparation, logistics and communication required to participate in a professional world class rally competition is enormous. The task is compounded when importing a vehicle, spare parts, tools and additional equipment into a foreign country, in this case Mexico.
DarkCyd Racing has compiled a competent technical team, most arriving late yesterday, including lead technician, Ken Anctil from Rochester, New Hampshire, and technicians Gary Grahan from Seattle, Ed Stockline from Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania and, of course, Kenny Thorstenson from Muskegon, Michigan.
Today Robb and Ben took another 'recce' (pronounced 'wreck key' and meaning reconnaissance) tour of most of the 13 stages. With only the first stage on pavement, the 3-day rally will take them from the cities of Silao and Guanajuato to high in the mountains. Most of the terrain is dirt, sand and loose gravelly rock. With a number of switchbacks and very rural road conditions, the teams pacenotes must be detailed and during the actual race stage, Ben and Robb must be in sync so that there are no problems or mistakes.
While Robb and Ben were on "recce" the technicians prepared the car for the first stage of the rally which starts tomorrow evening in the town of Guanajuato. In addition to checking all the mechanical functions of the vehicle, the team ensures the car is fitted with the safety equipment required by the event organizers, WRC.
Darksyd Racing Team – WRC Rally Mexico – 2011
Robb Rill, driver; Ben Slocum, co-driver; Ken Anctil, lead technicial

With the temperatures pushing 90° and the sun beating down on the car, it was clear that the pit area needed additional shade and the technicians clamoring for cold beverages and snacks. Also, the hydraulic lift the technicians were using wasn't sufficient for working on the car—especially for later in the week when pit stops need to be efficient and quick. We needed a heavier duty lift. So Tara and I headed into town looking for provisions.
Now I'm sure many reading this blog, and who have not been to this part of Mexico may think that such provisioning might be difficult. Not to worry. At times I feel like I'm in the states. The main road through town, Boulevard Lopez Mateos, is linked with retailers one would likely fine in big box America, including Office Depot, Home Depot, Sam's Club, WalMart, Costco and even a Starbux. So Tara and I stocked up on supplies at Costco, including a 3.5 ton hydraulic lift for the technicians, and a pop-up canopy to keep tools and refreshments ready and cool. In doing so, we feel we might have broken the record for packing a Mexican-built chevy Malibu.
Make no mistake, León has its charm. And it doesn't come from the nearly 200 shoes stores that seem to be on every corner of the city. True, León IS the shoe capital of Mexico—and maybe North America, but beneath the veneer of retail and US-based big-box brands there's a charming and historical feel to the city. Though nearby Guanajuato may get all the attention do to its UNESCO World Heritage Site status, but León also contributed to the start of the Mexican revolution in 1810.
As we walk the streets of the central historic district we're treated to the neo-classical cathedral with baroque influence build in 1765, it features four secondary chapels, one dedicated to Saint Joseph includes eight domes and one central cupola through which natural sunlight passes during the day. A large arch marks the entrance to the city, built in 1910 to celebrate the centennial of the Mexican revolution, atop there is the symbol of the city—a golden lion.
The people of León take pride in their city. We noticed many renovation and maintenace projects on classic and historical buildings and sites.
However odd, there is something endearing about the sculpted ficus trees on Plaza Principal in Historic Downtown León.
While neighboring Guanajuato gets the attention for historic sites, León has its charm.
New concept in promotion and marketing — public bathrooms and walking billboards. Wow!
The people of León take price in their city. The Plaza Principal is lined with benches that sit under ficus trees meticulously groomed in geometric shapes. We spot scaffolding around many historic buildings including the post office, churches around the plaza and religious statues outside the cathedral. And the people of the city, like most in Latin America, are genuinely interested to help foreigners and will go out of their way to do so.
By the time Robb and Ben return to the pit after their day of "recce", all that's left is do on the car is to fit the WRC-suppied GPS unit to the car. This allows the judges and timekeepers to track each car, ensuring it follows all the rules. Once this is fitted, the car is ready to complete a final inspection by the organizers. This inspection, called "scrutineering" is the final phase before the car is approved to compete and drive on the rally course. Failure to successfully complete "scrutineering" means modifications, repairs or otherwise must be made to the car or else it is disqualified from competition.
Kenny and Gary making final adjustments to get the car ready for scrutineering and racing!
Final touches before scrutineering — the official race logo and assigned car number.
Gary, Ed and Ken go over technical details and specifications for Darkcyd's Subaru before scrutineering.
The technicians assure Robb and Ben that all will pass the inspection, scheduled for 8PM tonight. So the two return to the hotel for much-needed showers and a good meal before the start of the intense 3-day competition.

Thomas Thoroton  (c. 1723–1794), was a British politician who sat in the House of Commons for 25 years between  1757 and 1782.

Early life
Thoroton was the son of Robert Thoroton of Screveton and his wife Mary Levett, daughter of Sir Richard Levett Lord Mayor of London and widow of Abraham Blackborne, merchant of  London. He was educated at Westminster School in 1736 and was admitted at Trinity Hall, Cambridge as scholar on 30 December 1741 and at Lincoln's Inn on 22 May 1745.  He became political agent to John Manners, 3rd Duke of Rutland and  married his illegitimate daughter Roosilia Drake in October 1751.

Political career
Thoroton was returned as Member of Parliament for Boroughbridge in a by-election in 1757. In the 1761 general election he was returned as MP for Newark on Duke of Newcastle's interest. He was Secretary to the Board of Ordnance from 1763 to 1770. He stood in the 1768 general election contesting Bramber  on Granby's interest.  Though defeated in the poll he was seated on petition in 1769. He was returned unopposed at Bramber in 1774 and 1780. He took a great part in managing the affairs of Charles Manners, 4th Duke of Rutland. During the Gordon riots in 1780 he was highly active and rescued several victims from the mob.

Later life
In 1789 Thoroton sold his estates at Alfreton and Swanwick, Derbyshire, and purchased Flintham House and land at Flintham, Nottinghamshire, close to Screveton. He died on 9 May 1794 and was buried at Screveton.

Several of his children were bound up in the affairs of the Dukes of Rutland. His daughter Mary eloped with and married Charles Manners-Sutton Archbishop of Canterbury, and his son Thomas sat in parliament for Grantham on the Rutland interest between 1802 and 1812.

Aadhi Pinisetty's Neevevaro Movie Released on 24th August 2018. The Movie was directed by Hairinath and Produced by Kona Venkat and MVV Satyanarayana. The Censor board ha certified the movie with U/A. Taapsee Pannu and Ritika Singh are the Heroines of Neevevaro Movie.
Kumara Babu (Aadi Pinishetty) is the heroine who recently played the role of Ananya in the Super Duper hit Rangasthalam film. Taapsee and Rithika Singh are playing heroines in this movie. The new trailer attracted the audience, the expectations on this film have gone up. Aadi pinisetti starring in many Tollywood films before the theatrical film is very good in Telugu and the expectations are high on the film. The entertaining film is going to be a suspense thriller movie.
Kalyan (Adi Pinnesetti) was a boy who lost sight in an accident at the age of 15. Still, he is raised as a chef without loss of self confidence. He own a restaurant. Unexpectedly he falls in love with Vennela (Taopsi). When she is in financial trouble, he came to help also. But at the same time he met with an accident. This time he will have surgery and he got his eyes, and it took sometime in order to recover. Vennela is not visible to him when he has opened his eyes. No matter how much he try no track of her. Kalyan, who is becoming mad, in searching for her. Who is Vennela, What Kalyan will get to know about her that is the remaining story.
If you see the 'Nevevaro' trailer, some of the shots will appear in Fast forward. This is a thriller movie that breaks mystery. After watching the trailer, the film is going to be a thrill of excitement. But in the film, the experience is different. It's not surprising that serials are missing in the sequel of mystery. Though the concept is good, the process of dealing with it is poorly established. The screenplay locks worn to crack mystery. Kona Venkat was in the process of writing screenplay for comedy entertainers. He was completely unsuccessful in writing an interesting thriller for a thriller movie. If you feel the mystery on the screen .. Audience is going to get stuck with the thrill .. Will you ever call it a thriller movie?
'Neevvaro' .. remake of the hit 'Kangal' in Tamil. The concept is slightly different, so it's no wonder that it is tempting to remake in Telugu. But in Telugu, 'Kshanam, Goodachari' like the thrillers of the industry have seen most of the last few years. Telugu film makers have greatly increased our film level. The audience's thinking has also changed. Everything from the scene to the climax. It is not easy to let the story keeping stories provoke the excitement while constantly being in suspension. However, the 'Nevevaro' team failed to reach the audience level. Taapsee's role in 'Neveveiro' was hidden in the film for the last 20 minutes in the movie, but the director and producer may feel like we done good job. But it is not difficult to have an assessment on her role. In this too, our Audience has seen a film like 'RX 100' and has been ready for any role in the heroine role. Taapsee's role in the movie does not make such a surprise.
Being a Blind Chef Aadi Succeeded. The hero is so dark that the affair will be interesting. But soon the story is made plain. The Aadi-Tapsi romantic track is flat. When the hero is eyeing the eyes, 'Nevevaro' begins to test the patience of the audience. Without making any interest, the stretching scenes take a look at the story. We have to talk less about the scenes between hero in order to explore heroine. The matter runs for about an hour. But there is no interest. The film seems to be very boring and the film is not very easy to do. The mystery of the audience will be revealing in the stages of the tolerance. It's a 20 minute walk from where you'll be engaged. Taapsi character .. Scenes that run around it provoke interest. The end also seems okay. But the previous affair was made of 'Nevevaro' as boring. The thriller is the main strength to be a thriller. That's the same thing movie missed in.
Adi Pinnesetti gave him specialty as long as he was blind. His gestures come to him when he shows up. But his role was a bit beyond a stage. He has nothing to do with acting. Taapsee's character is a special attraction for her performance. Taapsi reveals her specialty from showing another angle in the character. There is nothing to say about Rithika Singh. Vennela Kishore has got a good length role, but the comedy is not in his favor. Saptaguri comedy is not even heard. Thulasi .. Shivaji Raja Characters .. Acting is normal.
The music provided by Madhu Rajamani-Parson never minded. One of the songs of Sid Sriram is a special one. The theme song on Tapsee is also irrelevant. Background music is great. Sai Srisram's cinematography is irrelevant. Production values seem to be modest. The author did not appear in the film Kona Venkat Madampalle. " Whatever the clothes are out. Come on, " CI's wife replaced Vennela Kishore instead ' Call the CI ". She said, "I have to dress up the clothes and give it to the laundry." I do not mean to say what kind of comedy this day is for people to enjoy. Nothing to tell about director Harinath's performance. He did not properly deal with a good concept.

Meet Dan Hayden, Sol Flower's Director of Retail Operations
Sol Flower's Tempe and Sun City locations both recently celebrated their one year anniversaries, and patients across the Valley have Dan Hayden to thank. As Sol Flower's Director of Retail Operations, Dan oversaw the opening of our two dispensaries and continues to spearhead their tremendous success.
But Sol Flower isn't Dan's first cannabis rodeo - in fact, this Arizona native has been instrumental in the growth of the state's medical industry since 2010. We sat down with Dan to dive into his history, what he loves most about working in Arizona, and why Sol Flower is like a certain sports dynasty.
What drew you to the cannabis industry?
I have always been around the plant – I grew up in an environment that had respect for natural medicines, conscience of the cannabis plant, and its medicinal properties. I didn't really know about the industry, but I knew about the possibilities of cannabis. A family member worked with a marketing company that was helping to get legislation passed, he called me up to help him with some business plans because he knew I had familiarity with both cannabis and business. So that was how I started turning a passion into a career.
What were some of your early jobs in the industry?
In 2010 I started writing applications for dispensary licensing. It was a bit of a stop and start process before dispensaries started opening in 2013, but in the end I helped win 5 of the original 71 licenses that were awarded.
From there I was able to join and help another company establish the first dispensary in the Paradise Valley Village CHAA, home to the highest patient population in Phoenix. I grew in that position to oversee cultivation, production, and retail - I wore a lot of hats.
How has your job changed over the past decade?
In the early days, everyone was a pioneer. There were lots of independent dispensaries where operators were owners, GM's and cultivators all in one. Now with the influx of publicly traded organizations acquiring licenses, there has been a shift to a more corporate structure. That is not a bad thing - it means there's more specialization and opportunity to be an expert in a specific part of the industry where your talents lie. Team synergy is more important than ever.
What is it about Sol Flower that makes it stand out in the market?
I'm going to get a lot of flak for this, especially as a Boston fan, but I've always equated Sol Flower to the New York Yankees. We are well-run, we like to acquire the best talent, we field a team of all stars, and we have the resources to be one of the biggest employers in the state. And while aspirations from ownership are to win, leadership has really built a refreshing culture through transparency and honesty. We're always trying to add to this dynasty.
What do you love most about working in Arizona?
I'm a fan of top shelf products from solvent-less extracts to high end flower. And Arizona has changed so much over the last decade with its focus on large scale production to get the best products to the marketplace. Dispensaries are really starting to understand the whole package, from the product itself to the retail experience. Everything connects and good experiences keep people coming back. It's exciting to see what's going on locally compared to more mature markets like California. Our vendors are really stepping up their game.
Favorite way to consume:
Joints, blunts, or cannagars. It's pretty simple.
Favorite strains:
I love OG strains, anything super gassy. I enjoy indica leaning hybrids. Tough to pick a favorite. I truly like checking out the best breeders and new genetics, to find the next best thing.

Dr Bronner's Shikakai Organic Shaving Soap is a smooth and moisturising soap that feels light and soft on your skin. Its mild peppermint fragrance is something both men and women can enjoy and is ideal as preparation for a close and smooth shave. Dr Bronner's Shikakai Organic Shaving Soap features a variety of natural beneficial ingredients including organic Shikakai, which comes from the seed pods of the South Asian tree Acacia Concinna and has been used for years in skin care products. This low lathering soap also features jojoba oil and olive oil.
My husband likes this shaving cream, so no more aerosol foams in the house! He prefers the unscented to the peppermint though.
I have probably bought this shaving cream about 5 times now and still love it! The smell is lovely and fresh and it really helps protect my sensitive skin whilst shaving.

So why is China bringing together more than 100 media organizations from across Asia? What are its strategic objectives here?
The strengthening and promotion of media cooperation within the Shanghai Cooperation Organization is a shared aspiration of all parties. People's Daily deputy editor-in-chief Fang Jiangshan points out that the media constitute an important resource and means of national governance and global governance, and whoever controls discourse power has a grasp of great soft power, and therefore can better stand in a position of righteousness and justice (道义制高点). In the present international public opinion framework, the members of the SCO currently lack media organizations with global influence, and the media of many member states still seriously rely on Western news agencies for their international news reports. "The political security, economic development and social stability of SCO member states is upset by a massive gap in terms of digital technologies," said Fang Jiangshan . . . . Fang believes that to change this situation, the SCO and its members states must place a strong emphasis on media development and media cooperation, further building mechanisms for media cooperation.
Make no mistake: the proper translation here is that China wants to work with its Asian partners in the SCO to break what it sees as Western dominance of the global narrative on governance. Imagine a world in which media and their audiences across Asia see global affairs not through the lens of the Associated Press, AFP, Reuters or the New York Times, but through the grand political vision offered by Xinhua.
It's not difficult to ascertain which nation state, under such a "public opinion environment," would come off as the beneficent protagonist.

Recently featured as the venue for TV's Celebrity Ghost Hunt Live, we are beyond excited to be sharing the opportunity to investigate this awe inspiring, historic, and reputedly highly active location. Situated in complete isolation amongst the hills of Gloucestershire, the large, unfinished and gothic Woodchester Mansion is undisputedly one of the alleged most haunted buildings in the UK. As soon as you enter the building, the dark atmosphere and history immediately envelop you, with the eerie silence and feeling of being watched; this is certainly not a location for the faint hearted. A multitude of alleged ghostly activities have been reported here, such as apparitions and distinct EVP's, as well as the sounds of bangs and footsteps throughout the property. This location is a personal favourite of our staff, although this is purely down to the fact that this location can be very frightening at times.
As a paranormal group, we prefer to limit the more specific historic details we provide, meaning that each of our guests approach the evening with an open mind and can unravel any associated history as we go through the night. We find that any evidence we do capture, specifically that of any names of previous residents for example, will provide further legitimacy to your experience. Although for those that prefer, a full history of the Mansion can be found on the venues website.

What is the alternative way to access remote folder which is not shared?

A: Remote folders cannot be accessed this way in Tomcat (or any other app-server). Remote folders need to be exposed via some service (like web service) on that host.


Summer has progressed to autumn. Swallows are migrating by the thousands through the Pilgrim Lake area. Canada Geese are showing up in greater numbers as they migrate south and Wild Turkeys are showing up in groups along the sides of route 6 along running between Wellfleet and Provincetown. Oak leaves are beginning to fall around my house!
A sign of autumn on the water is the scoters. Scoter numbers increase dramatically around the Cape beginning in October. Flocks of 10 to 25 White-winged Scoters are common. Black and Surf Scoters are also arriving. Watch for mixed flocks that may be flying low or high over the water. White-winged Scoters nest across much of central Canada, central Alaska and northern Eurasia. Surf Scoters nest throughout Alaska and northern Canada. And Black Scoters nest primarily across northern Eurasia though nesting colonies are known in western Alaska and some isolated spots in central and eastern Canada. All three will make it to the southern Canadian Maritime provinces, and the New England and Mid-Atlantic states of the USA for their non-breeding season. White-wings and Blacks are often found in relatively large flocks while the Surfs tend to be in smaller rafts. All are nonetheless visible from whale watch boats, though while we are offshore the scoters are usually seen on the wing. All will also be visible from shore as the seasons progress.
Northern Gannets are also now showing up in steadily increasing numbers. We've seen scattered groups of juveniles throughout the summer months but the numbers are now increasing and adults are regularly seen. For those folks not familiar with Northern Gannets they are a close relative of the tropical and subtropical boobies but instead they are found mainly in temperate and higher latitudes. They are a giant bird with a wing-span the better part of 6 feet, with noticeably conical shaped heads, and overall they resemble a mini SST. The adult body is mostly brilliant white with deep-black wingtips and a pastel yellow head. Northern Gannets nest in coastal cliff areas of eastern Canada and migrate southward for the non-breeding season. Most are just passing through our area for other winter areas stretching from south of Nantucket and the Vineyard along the east coast of the USA and into the Gulf of Mexico. From a distance their diving from high above the water gives them away. There is nothing to confuse these birds with even from great distances. Nothing else is that big or dives from that high above the water. The end of our whale watch season in October and on through December as well as the beginning of our season in April and May are great times for Gannet watching. Again, go to the beaches along the outer Cape anytime during the winter and look offshore as they are here for the entire winter.
I've seen precious few Northern Fulmars this year. But the 4th of October was a good day. We had 3 Northern Fulmars wheeling around the boat off the southeast corner of Stellwagen Bank. In measurement they are comparable to the Greater and Cory's Shearwaters but they are quite stout in all proportions even when compared to the Cory's. They are 18 inches long with a 42 inch wingspan. Northern Fulmars have relatively short bills and very blunt heads compared to the other two. Most Fulmars that I spot are clean white underneath while being gray-white above with quite noticeable white oval patches toward the outer ends of the wings. Their soaring is reminiscent of that of the shearwaters though if you are able to follow the Fulmars they will make huge loops out into the distance and then circle back into view. This can give the impression that more are being seen than are actually around. It takes a steady hand, binoculars, to follow them through their loops but it is a behavior worth following. We never really see many Fulmars but strong easterly winds will push them inshore and they are more likely to be seen between mid-September through the winter into May than they are to be seen in the summer months.

JOHN WESLEY BOULWARE
Fremont Township
(see bio 1881)
BIO-Pen Pictures
has a ranch of 100 acres, in Fremont Township, which shows the capabilities of the land in this vicinity when intelligently managed. It is located about three miles from Mayfield by the roads, though the actual distance is considerably less. Much the greater portion of the acreage is cut for hay, which is made from wheat, barley, and wild oats, and an average crop is about three tons to the acre. He formerly manufactured butter quite extensively, but went out of dairying in 1885. In 1887 Mr. Boulware planted ten acres of strawberries, putting onions between the rows. He had the honor of getting the first strawberries into the San Francisco market in 1888, sending them in on the twenty-seventh of March. The strawberries yielded the first year $45 per acre, while the onions on the same ground turned out between $50 and $75 worth per acre. He found a ready local market for all his berries except the first pickings. It is his intention to add between five and six acres of strawberries per year. In 1889 he will probably plant also twenty acres of fruit trees, principally prunes, with some apricots and peaches. Water for irrigation is supplied by an artesian well 160 feet deep, with seven-inch casing, which forces the water three inches above the top of the pipe, and flows between 200 and 300 gallons per minute. When bored, in November, 1887, the artesian measure was but two and one-half inches, from which it has gradually increased to its present force.
Mr. Boulware usually has from eight to twelve head of horses, all fine stock. His stallion, "Elmo, Jr.," is by Henry Seal's famous " Elmo." As long ago as 1852 he brought here a thoroughbred Kentucky mare, and he has been breeding from that stock ever since.
Mr. Boulware was born in Estill County, Kentucky, at Red River Iron Works, June 5, 1830, where he resided until he attained the age of fifteen years, when he accompanied his parents to Jackson County, Missouri, there receiving his education, first in the common schools, and afterward one term in the Pleasant Hill Academy, Cass County. His scholastic training ended, Mr. Boulware entered the lumber trade, and continued in it until he started for California. May 4, 1852, he commenced the weary journey across the plains with ox teams and a herd of cattle, in company with Lindsey Lewis, his father-in-law, and arrived in Santa Clara County October 2 of the same year, locating on the precise spot on which he now resides, but did not settle there then, for after two months he removed to Mountain View; at the end of two years he proceeded to Calaveras Valley, where he farmed until 1861, and then came to his present place, where he has since dwelt. He is one of the many successful farmers of the Santa Clara Valley, while as a proof of his sterling worth it is sufficient to remark that besides being a School Trustee for many years, he was elected, in 1872, to serve four years on the Board of Supervisors of Santa Clara County. He was married, in Jackson County, Missouri, January 1, 1852, to Louisa Lewis, and has: J. A., born April 24, 1853; M. A., February 22, 1856; Permelia R., January 31, 1858; and Louisa Jane, October 5, 1860.
