Greiz is a Kreis (district) in the east of Thuringia, Germany. Neighboring districts are (from the west clockwise) Saale-Holzland, Saale-Orla, district-free city Gera, the Burgenlandkreis in Saxony-Anhalt, Altenburger Land, and the two Saxon districts Zwickau and Vogtlandkreis.

History
Historically the area of the district was part of the Vogtland, named after the title Vogt given to the local rulers in the 13th century. Only two lines of the Reuß family survived from that time, with one principality based in Greiz, and the other in Gera and Schleiz. In 1919 both were merged into the Volksstaat Reuß, which then became part of Thuringia in 1920.

A subcamp of the Buchenwald concentration camp was located at Berga/Elster during World War II. It was an SS joint venture, in which inmates dug tunnels and laid railway tracks for the Schwalbe V project.

The district in its current form was created on July 1, 1994, when the districts Gera-Land, Zeulenroda and the previous district Greiz were merged.

Geography
In the south of the district are the mountains of the Thuringian Slate Mountains (Thüringer Schiefergebirge) and the Ore Mountains, with the river valley of the Weiße Elster going through the district from south to north.

Coat of arms
Both the lion as well as the crane in the top part of the coat of arms derive from the coat of arms of the Reuß families and their principalities. In the bottom is a part of the coat of arms of Saxony, as a small part of the district belonged to the Duchies of Saxony.

But it's not just sun and waves; there's a bit of romance too.

MLB Draft: Rickey Henderson and JJ Guinn Are Still Close After 45 Years
Christina Haack's Boyfriend Joshua Hall Has Connection to Tarek


Two Argentine citizens with suspected links to Lebanon's Hezbollah militia were arrested on Thursday ahead of the G20 summit due to take place in Buenos Aires at the end of the month, Argentina's security ministry said in a statement.
The two men, aged 23 and 25, were arrested in a residence in the capital. Police discovered a small arsenal that included a rifle, one shotgun and a number of pistols, among other weapons.


Girl Blue has a passion for music, vocals and a stage presence to draw you in – listen. The stage name of Arielle O'Keefe, Girl Blue is one of the Capital District's emerging singer-songwriters, alongside peers Sean Rowe, Sydney Worthley, Sawyer Fredericks, and Moriah Formica. On Thursday, January 24, she will open for Dar Williams at Cohoes Music Hall.
O'Keefe's drive for music goes back to her childhood in Bayshore, Long Island, where she started playing piano at age 5 and guitar at age 12. From this, she sees music adhered to her identity, throughout her life. "It's sort of a raging ambition inside me, it feels like all I have is this thing to work on." After a move to Dallas during high school, she headed north to New York City and finally to Albany, to move her career forward. She chose her stage name, Girl Blue, from two musical inspirations – the Nina Simone album, Little Girl Blue, which she listened to a great deal growing up, and the Stevie Wonder song "Girl Blue," where the character described was much like Arielle.
When O'Keefe is on stage, she commands attention to her performance. "When I was younger, I went to different types of venues, hip-hop showcases and singer-songwriter performances and saw singers that you have-to-listen-to, instead of being forced to listen. I do that for myself, making it so that people have to lean in." After 14 years, this has developed into Girl Blue's remarkable stage presence.
Last May at Proctor's Theater in Schenectady, Girl Blue performed as part of Capitol Records Live, an event bringing together a half-dozen local artists to take on the songs of The Beatles' – The White Album and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Singing "Glass Onion," "Blackbird," "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" and "Getting Better," her performance stood out among a lineup that included Wild Adriatic, Eastbound Jesus and Let's Be Leonard.
Currently, Girl Blue is recording with Dan Dekalb and Jimi Woodul from Dark Honey, with plans to release a stripped down album in May, and the full album slated for later this year.
On March 2nd, Girl Blue will perform at The Linda in Albany with Belle Skinner and Zan Strumfield, but first, she opens for Dar Williams at Cohoes Music Hall on Thursday, January 24. Tickets are still on sale.
Girl Blue posts monthly exclusive songs and behind the scenes content online on Patreon. Click here to subscribe and support her work.

THE Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime created a new category of 'composition' dealers in its bid to broaden the tax base by taking into its ambit small businesses — mainly trading houses which hitherto paid no tax at all. Small manufacturers under the MSMEs (Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises), left with no option but to choose the Composition Scheme because of their small turnovers, were discriminated against vis-à-vis traders by the new tax regime, even though they deserved special treatment in terms of entitlements and privileges owing to their immense contribution to the manufacturing sector.
Unlike VAT (value-added tax), wherein existed no such ambiguities in the entitlements of registered or unregistered dealers, 'composition' dealers under GST had much to lose as some irrational provisions of the Central GST (CGST) Act, 2017, worked to their detriment and accentuated their concerns regarding the viability of their businesses.
One such provision barred them from undertaking exports to other states and the other denied them Input Tax Credit (ITC) on their purchases. While the former made them lose a major chunk of their businesses as many had customers outside their home states on whom depended the bulk of their business activity, the latter made them essentially 'unviable' as lack of ITC hiked their production inputs beyond sustainable limits.
A technical glitch in one such provision which has remained overlooked so far has resulted in a disconnect between them and regular dealers, who are now registered under the GST but once constituted their rich clientele within their home state during the VAT regime. The glitch pertained to non-availability of ITC on purchases they would make from composition dealers who, since not liable to collect tax on the total value of the supply, didn't charge tax in their invoices. This required registered dealers to charge the full rate of tax applicable on those items from their customers, in turn, and deposit it also with the tax authorities in full — which they hated doing as it increased their tax liability. To avoid it, they started buying goods from other regular registered dealers only from whom they could avail ITC, sidelining composition dealers in the process.
This inadequacy has incapacitated them from operating even within their home state. Barred from exports, their overall position is pitiable. To them the government's much-hyped 'one nation, one market' concept is hyperbole as there seems no workable mechanism in the legislation which may bridge this disconnect, unless it is amended.
Unviability has predominantly resulted from increased cost inputs on production, rendering their finished products costlier and broadly uncompetitive in the market, more so in contrast to big brands whose prices remained more or less the same as they existed before GST since the mandatory excise duty cut, as provided under the CGST Act, helped neutralise the hike that the high rates of GST would have effected in them otherwise. For instance, levy of 12 per cent GST on their products almost got nullified with 12 per cent cut in excise duty.
On the contrary, lack of a similar neutralisation effect in the wake of their products being 'excise-exempted' in the first place escalated prices for small manufacturers exponentially. 'Low price advantage', which used to be their USP under VAT, worked greatly in their favour, gave them the edge over competition, fetched them more business and compensated them to a great extent for their 'not on a par' product quality in contrast to what MNCs had. This entity is missing under the GST regime.
Two main factors increased their production costs substantially. First, the mischief played by raw material suppliers. The excise duty cut was basically meant to bring down MRP on goods to provide much-needed relief to consumers reeling under inflation. Initially, many did comply and kept their basic prices unaltered for fear that the government would tighten the noose, but in the wake of no checks and balances by it, they started taking liberties. Today, many have their basic prices at a level which is somewhat on a par with what it used to be after adding excise duty during the VAT regime. It means if 12 per cent excise was leviable on their items at that time, their business margins today stand risen by an equivalent proportion under the GST. The result: neither raw material costs to manufacturers have come down nor the MRP for consumers. The irony is that since the prerogative of deciding basic prices lies within the ambit of businesses, such trade practices could be termed only 'unfair'and not necessarily 'illegal' as long as they are not levying excise on them.
Second, under VAT, raw material could be imported after paying a meagre 2 per cent CST on invoiced goods against Form C, but it now attracts a levy of 18 per cent IGST on basic prices. Additional 16 per cent tax so paid, coupled with increased freight on transportation, hikes production costs.
Despite being a priority area identified under the National Horticulture Mission (NHM), the fruit processing sector, especially in the hill states of Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, where horticulture and ancillary units processing local produce contribute significantly to state economies, has been relegated to the status of any other regular industry. By placing fruit processed products under the 12 per cent tax slab, which used to be 5 per cent under VAT, the new tax regime has dealt a heavy blow to their viability. What is more unfortunate is the lack of cognitive response from respective state governments, which have neither come forward to own them up in their hour of crisis nor lodged any formal protest in this regard on their behalf at the GST Council meetings.
At the 28th GST Council meeting, the government incentivised registered and unregistered composition dealers in hill states by increasing their turnover limits from Rs 1 crore to Rs 1.5 crore and from Rs 10 lakh to Rs 20 lakh, respectively. It could be a big encouragement to trading houses, not manufacturers, as without having to ensure their 'viability' first — which is indispensable for their survival — any talk on the 'business scale' hardly makes sense. It is time the government removed such inadequacies in the CGST Act and gave MSMEs a new lease of life.

What US health care needs most is visionary leadership, 2 experts say
New book outlines the US health-care quagmire and how it can be fixed
The American health-care delivery system is breaking. It is faltering in so many ways that it can seem like the overall system is beyond fixing. It has become contentious and politicized to the point where it is commonly fought over by politicians, debated endlessly by Americans and yet no substantive changes are enacted that address the system's core goal — providing quality care at a reasonable cost.
The only way out of this quandary, according to a new book by two health-care leaders, is leadership itself. In "Rescuing Healthcare: A Leadership Prescription to Make Healthcare What We All Want It to Be," Denis Cortese and Antony Bell offer a radical and overlooked solution to the dissatisfaction and confusion of the American health-care delivery system: leadership reform. Download Full Image
Cortese, a Foundation Professor at Arizona State University and former president and CEO of the Mayo Clinic, and Bell, CEO of Leader Development Inc., a firm that helps leaders in several sectors transform their organization, state that to get the health-care industry back on track, medical practitioners need to be empowered and given the leeway to create meaningful change in their fields. In exchange they assume responsibility and accountability for their results.
"The U.S. now spends more than $3.5 trillion each year on health care, but we get little for the money," said Cortese, director of ASU's Healthcare Delivery and Policy Program. "We get widely varying results across the country, and on average the U.S. is in the middle-to-lower rank among developed countries. The reason for this is because the system is a pay-for-service system. It is not a system that pays for results or is geared towards preventing problems."
Cortese and Bell say the way out of this is leadership, all kinds of leadership. But two types stand out: organizational and operations leadership.
On the organizational level, what is desperately needed from senior leaders — including doctors, nurses and administrative leaders and politicians — is a shared vision for health-care delivery. A clear vision would help focus the system on keeping people healthy and active, it would efficiently treat people and it would help patients with chronic conditions lead fulfilling lives while avoiding unnecessary emergency-room visits and hospital admissions.
On the operational side, Cortese said what are needed are people who get things done and who can accomplish the goals set by the shared vision of organizational leaders.
Denis Cortese
"These are the folks who work on the front lines, deal with the details and are monitoring performance and working relentlessly toward improvements to these goals," he said. "For example, if U.S. government leaders had a clear vision for the use of health information technology then they wouldn't have spent more than $30 billion in the last eight years and not have interoperability of health-care IT systems."
What a clear vision and people who can carry out that vision would mean is a uniform health-care system large enough to carry a vast number of people, yet flexible enough to develop new models of care at local and regional levels that are customized to a wide range of services and needs of patients.
"Instead, our political leadership has spent, wasted, so much time talking about insurance for all," Cortese said. "It's a noble and attainable goal, but even Obamacare wasn't designed to provide insurance for all. If our political leaders had a clear vision and shared commitment to insurance for all citizens they might address one question: Why can't all citizens have what our government employees have?"
Federal employees have a selection of private insurance plans with varying benefit packages that individuals can chose for themselves, drugs are covered, there is support for paying the premiums for basic plans, people can pay more for more coverage if they desire. And the plan has full bipartisan support.
"So the goal for health-care insurance that could have been, and still can be, accomplished by political leaders would be to say to the American people: 'You get what we have,'" Cortese added.
Most importantly, the book goes beyond simply insurance. After all, getting everyone insured will not solve the fundamental problem of our health-care delivery system, which provides poor and varied results at high costs, Cortese said.
"Look at Medicare, everyone like myself, over 66 years of age has insurance coverage. Yet increasing numbers of us cannot find a doctor; we get widely variable access, outcomes, safety and service, all at an unsustainably high cost to the federal government. This has gotten to the point where financial viability of Medicare is at risk. So just having insurance does not solve the biggest problem of what do we get for the $3.5 trillion spending on health-care delivery?"
"This is where a clear vision and strong leadership is needed," Cortese stressed.
"The biggest winners will be the public and the patients who benefit from new models of care that prevent problems from developing, cures us when possible, keeps us functioning well when a cure is not possible, and keeps us comfortable as we reach end of life," he said.

ASU bioarchaeologist discovers puzzling burial at ancient Sudanese gate.
Bioarchaeologist Brenda Baker working on new journal that aims to bridge gaps.
Amidst fieldwork, ASU researcher helps boost local schools and preserve ancient sites
Zalabiyya is a dish of fried dough pieces served with sugar or honey. In Sudan, it's a common offering at afternoon tea, and Brenda Baker goes to tea in Sudan a lot.
"You get to a point where it's like, 'Oh no, I can't eat any more zalabiyya,'" she said with a groan. But she doesn't make these trips to learn about the cuisine.
Baker is an associate professor in Arizona State University's School of Human Evolution and Social Change and a bioarchaeologist with the school's Center for Bioarchaeological Research, which means she studies how ancient people lived by examining their cemetery sites and bones.
Although much of her research focuses on Sudan's past peoples, Baker also spends a lot of her time making connections with the country's current residents. Part of it is just being friendly, but it's also about working with local communities to preserve the area's numerous, valuable archaeological sites.
Baker first began working in Sudan a decade ago, in an effort to help record and salvage archaeological data from a region along the Nile before it was submerged by a huge dam. Today, she faces new problems. After the dam was built, the surrounding area experienced a huge boom in agriculture. While some archaeological sites are being now plowed over for farming, others are being destroyed as new neighborhoods, schools and roads expand outward.
She and her team have a lot of ground to cover. Baker's own project area is around 60 square miles, but includes more than 200 identified archaeological sites, which range from the Stone Age to modern historic times.
"I feel like I'm in a race to try to record as much as I can before it is lost to development," she said.
For all the team's work, however, what these sites truly need is a solution for their protection in the long term. Accomplishing that goal requires increasing local awareness, and building trust is the first step.
To be a good neighbor
When looking to rally support, there is often no better place to start than at home, even if it's your home away from home.
During each field season, Baker and her team rent mudbrick houses in the local community, which requires them to be neighborly. In Sudan, this means giving and accepting invitations to tea, as well as organizing a big party at the end of each trip to thank the community for hosting them. Much like a neighborhood barbeque here in the U.S., the host provides the main course — in this case, a sheep — and the neighbors loan chairs and dishes.
"It takes time away from the work to do that, but I would much rather be a good neighbor and have this kind of outreach to show that we're not arrogant or trying to take advantage of them," Baker said. "We want to show them that we're good people."
In this way, her team not only gains more opportunities to talk to community members about the value of archaeological sites, but also the ability to benefit from local knowledge. Neighbors often know if there are other sites nearby and are likely tip off the team if they stumble upon a new one.

Baker has also formed close relationships with the local workers that she hires each season. Some of them have worked with her for two or three years, and about five of them have worked with her for more than a decade. In the past, she has helped some of them get access to health care, while they, in turn, patiently help her improve her Arabic.
"We really have friends when we go back, because we've grown to know these guys," she said.
Getting to that point was hard-won in some ways, but fulfilling in the end.
"Several who initially just wanted the work really got interested once they saw the kinds of things we were finding and how excited we were about it," Baker said. "They became very proud of what they were doing and the knowledge and skills they were developing."
Many of the workers have developed into skilled archaeologists, and Baker often has them work with new students.
"I tell the students, 'Follow their lead and you can learn from them,'" she said.
Inadvertently, these workers have become their own form of outreach, as their pride compels them to share their work. Spontaneous mini-lectures to curious bystanders at the dig sites are a frequent occurrence.
"They often want to know if [a skeleton] is a man or a woman and how old it is," Baker said. People are also fascinated by practical details, like the healed bone of an ancient woman showing that she broke a leg when she was young, but survived the injury.
"I think that's the kind of thing that they can relate to their own experiences," she said.
Baker also developed her own local educational tool — a brochure with photos of sites and artifacts that show the evidence of the area's ancient history — after discovering that students in Sudan aren't taught their ancient history until high school, which is an educational level that most never attain.
The brochures were initially just handed out to the schools close by, but soon even the parents were clamoring for copies.
The things that people remember
Interacting with the nearby communities gave Baker greater insight into their needs and presented her with opportunities to make lasting impacts outside of work.
She describes one day during her last field season when her team was invited for tea at the home of an impoverished family. The children in this family had, for three seasons, run out to greet the team as they drove back from their dig sites each afternoon. Yet their current residence was little more than a lean-to structure, and Baker learned from the parents that their house had been destroyed in a bad rainstorm.
"I wanted to help them," Baker said. "These kids have been waving to us almost every single day. I've watched the little boy grow up from a baby to a toddler."
To the parents' shock, she decided to give them some of her own money to help them rebuild.
Baker and her team also regularly give supplies to nearby schools. Most recently, they were able to donate a large sum to three different schools for a connection to the new electrical grid. One of these, installed fans and lights in its classrooms so that it can continue to operate during sandstorms. But the school's use of the leftover funds was a special surprise.
The school, which is visible from the houses where the team stays, was formerly a "brown building on a brown landscape." So Baker was astonished to walk out one day and find it painted a bright turquoise.
"It gives you some color in a sea of brown," she said, smiling.
In the future, Baker plans to raise additional funds so school leaders can buy a water tank and build a wall to better protect the building from sandstorms.
A bit of a mystery
When she isn't investing in nearby communities, Baker continues to make fascinating archaeological discoveries. In the 2015 field season, her team examined a 1960s satellite photo that appeared to show a large structure near the Nile riverbank. On modern satellite photos, however, the structure is invisible, because it's now surrounded by date palm groves.

ASU Associate Professor Brenda Baker's team excavates a burial in Sudan.
The external east wall of the "El-Housh" fort, facing southwest toward the Nile River.
When the team went to check things out for themselves, they found an ancient fort known locally as "El-Housh," or "The Enclosure," with three of its four walls still standing. The distinctive architecture suggested it was built sometime in the first few centuries A.D. Getting the landowner's permission to excavate the site was a little tricky, but Baker's tried-and-true method of having tea and explaining her archaeological work won him over. In describing what the fort had looked like long ago, he mentioned a gateway, providing the key to a baffling discovery.
While searching for the gateway, Baker's team found a burial underneath an exterior wall of the fort. She describes the remains as having been placed in a foundation trench beneath the gateway — a type of burial that she had never before encountered or heard of in all her time in the region. The reasoning behind its placement is a puzzle, as the individual could have been an offering, an honored member of the community or an enemy doomed to be trodden upon for eternity.
"Obviously, it's very purposeful, but we have no indication that this person was treated differently in death, other than being in this position and not in a formal cemetery," Baker said. "It's a bit of a mystery at this point."
In the future, Baker and her team will excavate more of the fort and look for a second gateway opposite the one found in 2015 (she believes it's possible there is another burial there as well). She also wants to submit a bone sample for radiocarbon dating, which will confirm when the fort was constructed. Baker hopes that this discovery will prompt other archaeologists to take a closer look at gateways, as it could be a regional practice that researchers are simply unaware of at present.
Though she will not be returning to Sudan this season, Baker still has plenty to keep her busy in her other place of work: the laboratory. After three field seasons in a row, she has mountains of material from Sudan to process and analyze, including the remains from El-Housh.
Once the spring 2017 semester is over at ASU, Baker will also manage as co-editor-in-chief the publication of the premiere issue of Bioarchaeology International, a new journal that aims to bridge the gap between the archaeological focus on the context of a burial and the bioarchaeological focus on skeletal remains, furthering her work that often starts with tea and plates of zalabiyya.

Q: Login failed exception on BizTalk Database when going via windows service, while it works via web api (within the same library) I'm getting a login failed exception on the BizTalk management database, while it has been proven that the ConnectionString works and the user has the rights (since I am using sa for testing). It works when going through Web Api, while it won't when going trough the windows service.
The exception I get looks like this:

Cannot open database "BizTalkContextMgmtDb" requested by the login. The login failed.
  Login failed for user 'sa'. - System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException

I use the same connection string in the app config for the Windows Service as in the Web Config for the asp.net WebApi
The connection string I use looks like this:
    <add name="BizTalkContext" connectionString="Server=ServerName;Database=BizTalkMgmtDb;User ID=sa;Password=******;"   />

The code to connect is in the class library for communicating with BizTalk and the ConnectionString is set as follows:
    private static string Connectionstring =
       ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["BizTalkContext"].ConnectionString;

The strange thing here is when I try to run the method in this class library from within the web api, everyting works just fine! When I try to run the methods in the class library from within the Windows Service it throws the shown exception.
What could possibly be the problem here, since I use the same techniques and the same libray in both projects.
EDIT
Rick van Bodegraven suggested to add the following to  the connection string. "Trusted_Connection=False;Encrypt=True;"
This resulted in a new exception:

A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process. (provider: SSL Provider, error: 0 - The certificate chain was issued by an authority that is not trusted.) - System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException

A: It turned out that restarting my server and reinstalling the windows service somehow fixed the problem. I think I was doing everything right all along, there was just a bug in the deployment proces somewhere.
So I know this is not really an answer and the question is also not a known issue. People with the same problem can actually try to restart, re-install and re-deploy every single thing. That is unfortunately the only advice I have on this problem.

Liseberg je zábavní park ve švédské metropoli Göteborgu, k jehož otevření došlo v roce 1923. Představuje jeden z nejnavštěvovanějších parků ve Skandinávii, s roční návštěvností přibližně tří milionů příchozích. Mezi významné atrakce patří dřevěná horská dráha Balder, v letech 2003 a 2005 zvolená nejlepší dřevěnou kolejovou dráhou na světě. Časopis Forbes areál v roce 2005 zařadil na seznam deseti nejlepších zábavních parků na světě.

Vyjma letních měsíců je areál otevřen také v listopadu a prosinci, s menším počtem atrakcí a s probíhajícími Vánočními trhy.

Oficiálními barvami liseberského parku jsou růžová a zelená, které se staly součástí loga vytvořeného v 80. letech dvacátého století.

Historie
V lokalitě pozdějšího parku pojmenoval velkostatkář Johan Anders Lamberg roku 1752 pozemky po své ženě Elisabeth Söderbergové a nazval je "Lisino návrší" (Lisas berg), z něhož se později stal Liseberg. V roce 1908 odkoupilo pozemky a budovy město Göteborg za 225 tisíc švédských korun. Při 300. výročí svého založení uspořádalo roku 1923 výstavu, jejíž součástí byl i odpočinkový park otevřený 8. května, kde se nacházely klouzačky a dřevěná lanovka Kanneworffska, navržená Dánem Waldemarem Lebechem.

Zábavní park byl původně zamýšlen jako dočasný, ovšem pro návštěvnost přesahující 800 tisíc lidí za měsíc, došlo k jeho ponechání i po oslavách. Výstavba na ploše 1,5 milionu m² dosáhla celkové částky 2,6 milionu švédských korun.

Městská rada rozhodla o nákupu Liseberského zábavního parku 24. listopadu 1924 za milion korun. Od roku 1925 jej spravuje městská společnost Liseberg AB. Prvním ředitelem se stal Herman Lindholm, který stál v čele mezi lety 1923–1942. Liseberský bazén o rozměrem 36x15 metrů byl otevřen 13. srpna 1935 a následně uzavřen v roce 1956.

Největší taneční sál Rotundan s kapacitou 1 200 osob, od architekta Axela Jonsona, byl zprovozněn 10. ledna 1940. Náklady činily cca půl milionu korun. Ve druhém podlaží vznikl bar Uggleklubben. Při přestavbě roku 1956 došlo ke změně názvu na Rondo. Od roku 1947 je v areálu také Hotel Liseberg Heden. Během 90. letech dvacátého století prošel park rozšířením a zprovozněním nových atrakcí.

The City of Pittsburg Emergency Services Program has the major responsibility of preparing the City of Pittsburg for various incidents, events, and disasters and has provided disaster preparedness information and training to all City departments. The City's Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is activated during extraordinary emergencies or events and during disasters.
The City of Pittsburg is very fortunate to have its own Emergency Operations Center (EOC). It serves as the situation analysis and incident support system for large scale emergencies and major disasters. During an emergency or disaster it is important to have a centralized location where information gathering, response actions, and decision making are coordinated.
There are many different kinds of disasters that may strike us in Pittsburg. Earthquakes, floods, fires, airplane crashes, chemical spills, pipeline leaks and others, small and large, which seldom give warning and are always equally devastating to their victims. The City has developed plans regarding such emergencies but are you prepared to handle all kinds of disasters? The next time disaster strikes, you may not have much time to act. Prepare now for a sudden disaster or emergency. Learn how to protect yourself and handle a disaster by planning ahead. Discuss all ideas with your family, and then prepare an emergency plan. Make sure everyone in your family is well versed in the plan and that the plan is kept in a readily accessible area.
The City of Pittsburg has a Hazard Mitigation Plan available for public review. Hazard mitigation is described as "any action taken to reduce or eliminate the long-term risk to human life and property from natural hazards." The purpose of mitigation planning is for local governments to identify the hazards that may impact them, identify a plan of actions and activities to reduce losses from those hazards, and establish a coordinated process to implement the plan through the use of the City's resources.
Having a Hazard Mitigation Plan for the City is a requirement of federal law for the City to be eligible for funding for local mitigation projects through the Hazard Mitigation Assistance grant program.
Pittsburg faces a number of potential hazards such as earthquakes, severe weather, hazardous materials incidents, health epidemics, flooding, and others. The City has identified the hazards facing the City, analyzed the risks from these hazards, developed mitigation strategies and an implementation strategy. Please click on the link below to view the City's Hazard Mitigation Plan.
Contra Costa County Flood Control & Water Conservation District has created a map with data from rain and stream gauges to help predict flooding using their new 7-5-3-2 protocol. You can learn more about the 7-5-3-2 protocols on the County's website at http://www.cccounty.us/1578/Flood-Forecast-Information or by clicking the "7-5-3-2 Flood!" icon on the RainMap link here.

Why the 90% target is simply more political spin
Setting the 90% target can only be born from the total desire to be able to pat herself on the back from the podium of Truth. I am of course talking about the princess of self praise Jacinda Ardern.
Her seven minutes of self congratulations before ever getting to a point that people have tuned in for, has become the PM's style. It won her in emphatic victory at the last election and no doubts we are now watching a slow drawn out application for to be entered into the U.N. senior officials club.
On her C.V. she so desires for the sheep of New Zealand to be the highest percentage of fully drenched herd of 5,000,000
The World Economic Forum selected Ardern as a future world leader back in 2014. She joins Trudeau, Macron and a plethora of other influential people, particularly when it comes to Covid responses. No longer being the elimination hero, Ardern is depirate to make up for this mishap by being the lord of the vaccinations.
her comments about protecting the vaccinated from the unvaccinated would surely be worthy of the maximum punishment of the proposed hate speech laws she is also trying to push upon the sheep of Aotearoa.
The highest recorded vaccination rate to date is the UAE with 86.8% of its population vaccinated.
Singapore is close behind in 4th spot with 82.5%. Ironically this tiny nation was having an average of 31 new cases per day when they commenced their vaccine roll out on January 11. This had then increased to 150 per day when they hit 78% fully vaccinated on August 31.
from 78% to 80% took them till October 4, so just 35 days later. The infection rate grew in this time to an average of 2,296 new infections per day.
Now they have the dizzying heights of being at 82.5% fully vaccinated, they have also reached the dizzying heights of 3,558 a short time later.
Imagine what they could do at 90%?
Research is now out that shows there is no positive correlation between the percentage that your population has taken advantage of jabs and infection rates. If anything the highest percentage countries have the higher infection rates. Look at the multi jabbing Israelis who now are no longer classed fully vaccinated at two jabs. w
When we reach 90%, according to Ardern, we will then be able to enter the traffic light system. More ways for us to be controlled. As if traffic lights aren't enough on the road we now have one to tell us if we can leave the house.
So we are being held hostage by an arbitrary figure which is only being used to further vilify those that are vaccine hesitant or in fact a true antivaxxer. And if you haven't had a double jab (or perhaps your third by the time we are at the traffic light system) it is a permanent red light for you.
Furthermore, there are plenty of people who would prefer a more standard delivery of a vaccine rather than through the mRNA passage. The Novavax has been identified by many people as a vaccine they would take of the mRNA version. Even with this we may struggle to get to 90%. Without it, it will surely be a bar too high and something we have become all too accustomed to, simply another total failure of Ardern and her mob to sensibly apply policy settings to achieve something meaningful
You choose which tops the list of clusterfucks
Covid Elimination Strategy
MIQ spots
More Health capacity including ICU beds
Planting a Billion Trees
Railway to the Airport
Open and Honest
Renewable Energy Generation
Cost of living (inflation)
Crown Debt
Rent Affordability
Gun laws vs crime rates using guns
relationship with Farmers who we rely on
The only thing they have succeeded in is paying off the media to stop them reporting on the bumbling buffoons labour has become.
Ardern is now destined to fall from grace. She has gone too far with her ineptitude and all the self praise is falling on more and more deaf ears. Even the ones that were crying from the rooftops about how wonderful she is, can now see the empress is wearing no clothes.
So long kid it will take decades to repair the damage you have done and you are still able to inflict on the country you like to call Aotearoa
Ron Tanengahere
When you go and find the true fact about Novavac, it is still is a gene edited vaccine that has nanoparticles in it. So no way will I be getting Novavac either

The Red Hat Certified Specialist in Enterprise Application Server Administration exam (EX248) is a performance-based exam that tests your knowledge and skills to install, configure, monitor, manage, and deploy applications to Red Hat® JBoss® Enterprise Application Platform (JBoss EAP).
A Red Hat Certified Specialist in Enterprise Application Server Administration is for system administrators or application developers whose responsibilities include the deployment, implementation, and management of JBoss EAP and its applications.
This exam is based on JBoss EAP 7.
Experience is the best preparation for the exam. However, even experienced people sometimes have gaps in their knowledge, so Red Hat encourages all candidates for Red Hat Certified Specialist in Enterprise Application Server Administration to consider taking the Red Hat JBoss Application Administration I (JB248) course. This course introduces the topic and can be an effective supplement to experience and a valuable aid in preparation for the exam. Attendance in this class is not required, and one can choose to take just an exam.
While attending Red Hat's classes can be an important part of your preparation, it does not guarantee success on the exam. Previous experience, practice, and native aptitude are also important determinants of success.
Red Hat recommends that candidates earn Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHCSA) or Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE) before attempting this exam, but neither is required. An understanding of core concepts in Java Enterprise Edition is useful, but candidates do not need to be developers nor does this exam involve application development tasks.
To help you prepare, the exam objectives highlight the task areas you can expect to see covered in the exam. These objectives apply to both JBoss EAP 7.
Using JBoss EAP, Red Hat Certified Specialist in Enterprise Application Server Administration exam candidates should be able to accomplish the tasks below without assistance. The tasks have been grouped into categories to assist your preparation.
The Red Hat Certified Specialist in Enterprise Application Server Administration exam is a performance-based evaluation of a candidate's skills and knowledge regarding the administration of enterprise applications based on and using JBoss EAP.
Candidates perform a number of routine system administration tasks and are evaluated on whether they have met specific objective criteria. Performance-based testing means that candidates must perform tasks similar to what they must perform on the job.
The Red Hat Certified Specialist in Enterprise Application Server Administration exam is a hands-on, practical exam that lasts 4 hours. Internet access is not provided during the exam. You will not be permitted to bring any hard copy or electronic documentation into the exam. This prohibition includes notes, books, or any other materials. Internet access will be strictly controlled. Documentation that ships with JBoss EAP is available during the exam.
You will be working on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux® 6 system during the exam, so prior experience using Linux or UNIX will be helpful. The purpose of this exam is not to test operating system administration skills, and extensive Linux/UNIX experience is not required. You will have a full desktop environment in which to work, and we will provide a list of basic commands for your reference in addition to the man pages and other documentation that come with Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Fedora provides a freely available alternative for you to practice your Linux skills. A Live CD version is available that allows you to work on Fedora without needing to install it on your computer. While it is not an exact match for the environment in Red Hat Enterprise Linux, it is definitely close enough for the level of familiarity required.

Mother of Unarmed Teen Killed by NY Officer Calls on DOJ For Investigation
Posted byBy Tracy | Published on April 17, 2014 CommentsComments (1)
A group of New York lawmakers have sent a letter to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder asking that the Department of Justice conduct an investigation into the fatal 2012 shooting of an unarmed black teen by a New York City police officer.
"In the interest of seeking truth and justice, we are asking for an extensive and exhaustive investigation into the killing of Ramarley Graham," reads the letter, which the New York Daily News reports was sent to Holder's office last month by members of the state's Black, Puerto Rican, Hispanic and Asian Legislative Caucus.
Eighteen-year-old Ramarley Graham was shot and killed by NYPD Officer Richard Haste inside Graham's grandmother's Bronx home on Feb. 2, 2012. Haste chased Graham into the house without a warrant, and fatally shot the teenager inside the bathroom. Haste, whom a grand jury ultimately declined to indict for the shooting, claims he heard over a police radio that Graham had a gun.
Graham, who would have turned 21 on Saturday, was unarmed. All he had in his possession that day was a small bag of marijuana.
"We believe the investigation will uncover that the actions of Officer Haste violated the civil rights of Ramarley, his family and the other residents in the home," the letter states, according to The Daily News. "It is imperative that the Department of Justice send a clear signal that the lives of black and brown minority men matter."
On Wednesday, Graham's family and members of the New York City Council held a press conference outside Manhattan Federal Court to call on the DOJ. "Ramarley should be here today, but instead I spent his 21st birthday at the cemetery," Graham's mother, Constance Malcolm, told reporters.
Police officers and supporters clap as Officer Richard Haste exits the courthouse after posting bail in New York, Wednesday, June 13, 2012.
Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said in August that his office would review Ramarley's death for civil rights violations. According to the Daily News, that review is still ongoing.
The Department of Justice said last August it would review the case.
"It's been two years now, and we've gotten no justice for Ramarley Graham and his family. If Ramarley and his family can't get justice in a case like this one — where he was unarmed and shot and killed in his own family's home — what hope is there for other Black and Latino men in this city and across the nation?" New York City Council member Jumaane Williams told The Huffington Post in an email. "His life matters."

One thought on "Mother of Unarmed Teen Killed by NY Officer Calls on DOJ For Investigation"
Carla Hunt says:
I do not know the inner workings of the federal government, but this family has been demanding DOJ involvement since right after it happened. I have to see a response. Why don't they do us all a favor and either deny the request or get on it. They deserve something, anything to help them get some kind of closure. If they don't feel DOJ involvement is warranted-just deny it so the family can decide what they want to do next. They have taken on and completed other cases.

Another new release comes straight in at No1 for a second successive week – last week saw a No1 launch for 2K/Take 2's 'Evolve' and this week it is Sony's turn to debut at No1 with PS4 exclusive 'The Order: 1886'.
It was developed by Ready at Dawn Studios, known for PSP Daxter and PSP God of War titles. Sony's last No1 was back in August 2014 with Naughty Dog's 'The Last of Us: Remastered', also for PS4.
Activision climb 1 place to No2 with 'Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare' (+3%) and the aforementioned 'Evolve' drops from No1 to No3 (-66%). Ubisoft's 'Far Cry 4' gets pushed even higher (promotional activity and now half-term) climbing a further 3 places to No4 (+28%). Meanwhile Rockstar/Take 2's 'GTA V' (+0%) remains stable in sales and chart position at No5. Half-term boosts all versions of Minecraft, with 'Minecraft: Xbox Edition' climbing one place to No7 (+31%) and 'Minecraft: Playstation Edition' climbing 2 places to No9 (+27%). Nintendo's big new 3DS entry last week, 'Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D' drops from No2 to No8 (-70%) and Capcom's 3DS 'Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate' shows a similar pattern, down from No4 to No12 (-68%).
This week we also welcome 2 more new entries with Sega and Creative Assembly's 'Total War: Attila' for PC strategists at No21 and Koei Tecmo's 'Dead or Alive 5 Last Round' for PS4/XO owners at No27.

Q: Auto populate lookup field through plugin in C# plugin in Dynamic CRM I am trying to auto populate account lookup field in my form upon selection of contact lookup field but when i perform it shows entity does not contain the respective id but when i debug it shows the right account name can any one let me know where i am making mistake?
Entity task = (Entity)context.InputParameters["Target"];
EntityReference lookupValue = task.GetAttributeValue<EntityReference>("new_contact");

if (lookupValue != null)
{
    string targetEntityName = lookupValue.LogicalName;
    Guid targetEntityId = lookupValue.Id;
    QueryExpression query_contactparty = new QueryExpression("contact");
    query_contactparty.Criteria = new FilterExpression();
    query_contactparty.ColumnSet.AddColumns("contactid");
    query_contactparty.ColumnSet.AddColumns("fullname");
    query_contactparty.ColumnSet.AddColumns("parentcustomerid");
    query_contactparty.Criteria.AddCondition("contactid", ConditionOperator.Equal, targetEntityId);

    LinkEntity accountLink = new LinkEntity("contact", "account", "parentcustomerid", "accountid", JoinOperator.Inner);
    accountLink.Columns = new ColumnSet("name");
    query_contactparty.LinkEntities.Add(accountLink);

    EntityCollection contactparty = service.RetrieveMultiple(query_contactparty);

    foreach (var con in contactparty.Entities)
    {
        Guid accountid = con.GetAttributeValue<Guid>("contactid");
        string name = con.GetAttributeValue<string>("fullname");
        EntityReference parentAccount = con.GetAttributeValue<EntityReference>("parentcustomerid");

        if (parentAccount != null)
        {
            //throw new InvalidPluginExecutionException("Value found is:" + name + " and id is: " + accountid + " account :" + parentAccount.Name);

            task["new_account"] = new EntityReference("new_kaispe", parentAccount.Id)
            {
                Name = parentAccount.Name
            };
        }

        service.Update(task);
    }
}

A: In a plugin pipeline handling the Update message, an EntityReference value can be set in the pre validation stage. The Entity found in the "Target" property of the InputParameters collection only needs to be modified. Do not try to update it using service.Update(task).
Just remove that line and register your plugin for the pre validation stage.

CanILF established a second project to benefit the Women's Empowerment Program at St. Paul's Kabira Adult Attention and School of Orphans (KAASO) via its Uganda Literacy and Education Program (ULEP). The Women's Empowerment Program provides women in the community with education in basic literacy, business and traditional artisanry. KAASO is a primary school, orphanage, and adult education centre in the rural district of Rakai, Uganda.
The school was originally intended for orphans or adults who never had the opportunity to attend school, but has since grown to have a wider purpose and is currently used as a base for many community empowerment and development projects, such as adult literacy programs, women's empowerment groups, and community library services. The ultimate goal for KAASO is to empower and equip the community as a whole to enable them to bring their children into a brighter future.
HIV/AIDS awareness has become a top priority for both the school and community outreach programs. Uganda has been called "the birthplace" of AIDS; some of the earliest known cases can be traced to the Rakai district. Although education and sensitization programs have helped contribute to decreasing the prevalence rate, some 15% of people in Rakai are still living with HIV/AIDS, significantly higher than the national average.
CanILF began this partnership by supporting KAASO's Women's Empowerment program. This project provides female students with the skills needed to obtain employment and provide for their families. Promoting basic literacy in the local language (Luganda) is currently CanILF's main concern.
Financial support from CanILF was used to pay for student scholarships and educational equipment, including the costs of a teacher, electricity, textbooks, computers and other materials required for providing an effective education for these women.
Following several years of successful operation, CanILF concluded its Uganda Literacy and Education Program in mid-2013. Due to the program's success, we are confident that the Women's Empowerment Program will continue at KAASO for many years to come.


From a one-man band to a global powerhouse, here's the story of Adelaide company PowerHealth, the 2018 South Australian Medium and Making Waves Award winner.
ESTABLISHED in 1995 as a "one-man band", PowerHealth has grown organically into a global healthcare software partner, offering products to optimise efficiency and productivity in hospitals and other healthcare organisations.
Specialising in activity-based costing, hospital billing, healthcare budgeting, wayfinding and incident management solutions, PowerHealth's mission is to help clients deliver the highest quality care at the lowest operational costs.
We specialise in back-office solutions with the purpose of improving healthcare efficiency. With over 20 years of experience, we are one of the leaders in hospital funding and patient level costing.
Who are your customers: Are they local or global?
PHS has 14 statewide contracts across the Australian public healthcare sector and counts most public hospitals as its clients: But we are a global company and our systems are installed in a range of health care organisations across four continents and 10 countries.
I travel a lot, averaging close to an around-the-world trip every month. In 2017, for example, I had the following travel statistics: 29 trips over 217 days, across 38 cities and 11 countries. In total, I travelled 480,513km.
What pivotal turning points have there been in the business over the past 20 years?
business into the international software provider it is now.
2002: The moment we achieved $1 million in sales four months into the release of our first application.
2014: Being awarded an Industry Leaders Fund grant to attend The Harvard Owner/President Management three-year program, with the objective of taking the company to the next level by mastering a range of critical skills necessary to significantly increase growth.
contract without tender in the newspaper and sent it to me. With no customers in Canada, PowerHealth was able to request an opportunity to bid on the project and was able to have the contract cancelled.
IDENTIFIED a reputable local Canadian partner to represent PowerHealth across Canada.
FORMED a French Canadian company, PowerSante, which was designated as the Canadian headquarters for PowerHealth.
HIRED two senior staff in Quebec, one a doctor, who brought the required local knowledge of the Quebec healthcare system.
QUICKLY identified and implemented PPM in two pilot sites and able to rapidly demonstrate that PPM was an effective solution for Quebec. The results from these two sites also allowed PowerHealth to have local data and results in our tender responses.
TRANSLATED all marketing materials and the actual application itself into French.
Through this sequence, PowerHealth was able to win the contract over local providers. It was an amazing win against the odds.
WE are at the moment bidding on a national contract in Asia. This is a project that we have been working on for over two years. In addition, our work in Quebec is going extremely well, thanks to a wonderful PHS team over there as well as tremendous client enthusiasm for the project and all supported by a fantastic Ministry of Health.
We are looking to leverage our success and expertise into other Canadian provinces.
Finally, we recently released PowerNav, a hospital wayfinding application that is live at the Alfred Hospital in Melbourne.
The Alfred has been an amazing partner through the development of PowerNav and at $200 per month and with 80 per cent of patient complaints related to getting lost in hospitals, we believe PowerNav will be our next big thing.

Scarth Hall in Staindrop is an ideal venue for a village hall wedding reception with style. Our main hall accommodates up to 80 seated guests and for a more informal event (eg in the evening) up to 100 people. Behind the Victorian facade is a fully modernised hall which has retained its period features.
Scarth Hall has a modern kitchen, a cosy Bistro area, and two pleasant rooms upstairs which are ideal for getting changed, storing outfits, or just having a quiet moment! We have audio visual facilities in the main hall and Bistro, and there's wifi throughout the building.
A wedding reception in a village hall allows you to create a memorable, personalised event with an intimate atmosphere and an opportunity for your friends and family to be involved.
If you require access on the previous day, this would be an additional cost at our standard hourly rates.
If you have a band at your event you will need to refer to the Booking Conditions relating to electrical equipment and insurances.
Tablecloths are available to hire from Scarth Hall or you can make arrangements via your caterers or elsewhere.
There will be a member of the Scarth Hall team available on the day to help with any queries and for the bulleted items listed above. However, it's a good idea to appoint one or more people to co-ordinate the day so that you can relax and enjoy the event to the full.
Full payment is required four weeks in advance of the event, plus an additional £150 as a refundable deposit. The amount will be refunded in full if there are no breakages and no damage.
All bookings are subject to the hirer agreeing to the Scarth Hall cancellation terms and booking conditions.


All complaints should be submitted in writing to the Chief Executive detailing the specific nature of the complaint and the actions required in response if the complaint is upheld.
The Chief Executive will acknowledge the complaint in writing within two working days of the complaint being made and inform the complainant that it will be considered by the Chief Executive and Chair of RSABI's Trustees as a stage one complaint with at least an initial response being made within 28 working days from the date of the Chief Executive's letter.
If a full response cannot be made within the initial 28 working days period because further investigations are necessary, the complainant will be informed of the date when a full response will be given.
If the complainant is not satisfied with the final response at stage one then the complainant can ask for the complaint to be escalated to stage two where it will be considered by the Board of Trustees or a subcommittee of the Board chaired by the Vice-Chairman.


For so many, many years I focused on "healing" myself. It was an important road for me to take on the journey to wholeness; but I recently asked myself, at what point do I get to just live as a whole and healed being? The answer is NOW!
On the other side of breast cancer, and having just returned from several weeks of travel in Europe and the UK, I've come home. Not just to the physical sanctuary I live in, but to my body, my wholeness, and my fully conscious choice to live my life as Art. I am healed. I am healed from the sexual addiction I wrote a book about, I am healed from breast cancer, and I am healed from my childhood wounding. I declare it so.
I'm not saying I'll never have another neurosis or issue or illness again, but the "healing work" on myself has evolved into enjoying the whole ecstatic journey of being human. That includes everything from washing the dishes to being fully present in my relationships with friends, family, and my beloved.
There's nothing I need to figure out, I don't need a mission statement… there's really nothing at all that I need to DO. Finding wonder and beauty in every word I speak, every chore I do, and every step I take is a state of being that I've been seeking to embody for years, and suddenly the striving is over.
Here's to an ecstatic life!

Born in Hayward, CA and raised in the Bay Area, Jasmine Nichol got her musical roots from various places. While a toddler, listening to the music her older sister and mother were bumpin' around the house led to her submersion into pop culture.
Influences such as Tupac, Biggie, Aretha Franklin, Digital Underground, Keith Sweat, Chaka Khan and Rufus, Will Downey, Jackson 5, Al Green, Stevie Wonder, Jimmy Smith, Miles Davis.
All of artists above plus so many others sparked her creative interest in songwriting, which later developed her passion for singing to express the words she wrote on paper.
Musical talent runs through Jasmine Nichol's veins, in that her grandfather was a writer and her aunt was an amazing songstress, even her mother formed a singing group entitled, Shades of Love in the 70's.
All these old school influences have given Jasmine Nichol a distinctive platform and savory genre all her own.
During the course of her musical journey Jasmine has auditioned for The Voice, American Idol and the X Factor.
Debuting her first project, Ain't Nothin' Like Ya First Time in the summer of 2012 then following it up with her second project #NoE in April of this year, Ms.
