US and North Korea weirdly fired off missiles at almost the same time
Business Insider By Ryan Pickrell
North Korea fired off two suspected short-range missiles May 9, 2019, marking the second time in a week the country has done so after more than a year without a missile launch.
The unidentified weapons were launched from Kusong at 4:29 pm and 4:39 pm (local time) and flew 420 km and 270 km respectively, according to South Korea's semi-official Yonhap News Agency reported.
They splashed down in the East Sea afterwards, the agency said.
May 9, 2019's test comes on the heels of another test conducted May 4, 2019 (local time). During an impromptu exercise, North Korean troops fired off rocket artillery, as well as a new short-range ballistic missile that some observers have compared to Russia's Iskander missile.
Before last May 4, 2019's "strike drill," North Korea had not launched a missile since it tested the Hwasong-15 intercontinental ballistic missile in November 2017.

The self-imposed freeze has long been perceived as a sign of good faith as Pyongyang negotiated with Washington and Seoul, negotiations that have hit several unfortunate speed bumps.
Interestingly, at almost the exact same time as North Korea was launching its missiles May 9, 2019, the US troops almost 6,000 miles away were doing the same thing, just with a much bigger missile.
At 12:40 am (local time) May 9, 2019, a US Air Force Global Strike Command team launched an unarmed Minuteman III ICBM from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. The unarmed ICBM flew over 4,000 miles.
Air Force officials told Fox News that the timing of the American and North Korean launches was a coincidence.
May 9, 2019's Minuteman III ICBM test marks the second time in just over a week the US has tested one of its missiles, launching the weapon into the Pacific.

Petermann (geboren 1947; gestorben 10. Oktober 1985 in Köln) war ein männlicher Schimpanse des Kölner Zoos. Zunächst wurde das dressierte Tier durch öffentliche Auftritte und als Werbeträger des Zoos bekannt. Im Jahre 1985 wurde Petermann nach einem Ausbruch, in dessen Verlauf er den damaligen Zoodirektor Gunther Nogge angegriffen und schwer verletzt hatte, von der Polizei erschossen.

Leben und Tod
Kurz nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg kam Petermann als Jungtier mit seiner Mutter per Schiff nach Europa. Weil die Schimpansin kurz vor der Ankunft verstarb, zog die Stieftochter des damaligen Zoodirektors Werner Zahn, Riele Holtermann, ihn mit der Babyflasche auf (Zweifel an diesem Teil der Geschichte äußert der Journalist Walter Filz). Nach Angaben der Stieftochter selbst sei das Tier von Afrika als Baby zunächst in die Niederlande gebracht und dort aufgepäppelt, aber wohl auch vermenschlicht worden, indem es beispielsweise bei seiner dortigen Pflegerin in einem Bett schlafen durfte.

Ohne andere Schimpansen aufgewachsen, wurde der Affe schließlich dressiert, in menschlicher Kleidung Kunststücke aufzuführen und menschliches Verhalten nachzuahmen. So konnte er mit Essbesteck von einem Teller speisen, fuhr auf einem Motorrad umher oder wurde, in die Uniformen Kölner Karnevalsgesellschaften gesteckt, zu Auftritten auf Karnevalssitzungen gebracht. Bei seinen Auftritten, aber auch auf Postkarten und Plakaten, warb er für den Kölner Zoo.

Nachdem er, zehnjährig, die Geschlechtsreife erlangt hatte, wurde er aufgrund der damit verbundenen gesteigerten Aggressivität aus dem Dressurprogramm genommen. Seine "menschliche" Sozialisation unter Ausschluss von Artgenossen sowie die wenig artgerechte Haltung im Zoo führten zu schweren Verhaltensstörungen, welche die Möglichkeiten seiner Haltung wiederum einschränkten – ein artgerechtes Sozialverhalten unter Primaten erlernte er nicht mehr.

Am 10. Oktober 1985 war seine Käfigtür von einem Pfleger nicht ordnungsgemäß verschlossen worden. Gemeinsam mit der Schimpansin "Susi" brach Petermann aus seinem Käfig aus. Sie schlugen zunächst einen Tierpfleger zu Boden. In der Futterküche attackierten sie  den Zoodirektor Gunther Nogge mit Bissen in Kopf und Gesicht lebensgefährlich. Zoomitarbeiter konnten sie von ihrem Opfer trennen. Ein Mitarbeiter konnte sie an die Hand nehmen und wollte sie in ihre Käfige zurückbringen. Sie rissen sich dann los und setzten ihre Flucht fort. Petermann wurde noch auf dem Zoogelände erschossen, Susi kurz darauf außerhalb des Zoos von der Polizei im Keller eines Wohnhauses getötet.

Folgen und Rezeption
Nogge bewertete den Vorfall später als Angriff auf ein ; eine Tötungsabsicht habe nicht bestanden. Auch aufgrund des Vorfalls wurde die bis dahin traditionelle Art der Primatenhaltung im Kölner Zoo kurze Zeit später, wie auch in anderen Zoos, zugunsten einer Haltung reformiert, die das natürliche Sozialverhalten der Tiere berücksichtigt.

Einige Kölner interpretierten Ausbruch und Tod Petermanns rückblickend als Akt des Aufbegehrens einer unterdrückten Kreatur, als Akt der Anarchie. So tauchen vereinzelt Stencils (Schablonengraffiti) mit dem Schriftzug  auf. Auch eine Punkband sowie eine Fußballmannschaft der Bunten Liga Kölns benannten sich nach dem als  verehrten Tier.

Q: Amicable Numbers I am struggling with optimizing these functions that I have used to calculate the sum of the amicable pairs under 10000. An amicable pair is a pair (a, b) where the sum of the divisors of "a" excluding "a" itself equals b and the sum of the divisors of "b" excluding "b" itself equals "a".
I.e. divisors of 220 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 11, 20, 22, 44, 55 and 110: The sum of which is 284. And the sum of the divisors of 284 (1, 2, 4, 71 and 142) equals 220.
My code is:
import math
def Divisorsbaritself(x):
    divList = [1]
    y = 2
    while y <= math.sqrt(x):
        if x % y == 0:
            divList.append(y)
            divList.append(int(x / y))
        y += 1
    return sum(divList)

def amicable():
    solution = []
    for i in range(10000):
        if Divisorsbaritself(Divisorsbaritself(i)) == i:
            solution.append(i)
    return sum(solution)

print amicable()

I need help with understanding why the amicable function is not working. To me it makes logical sense that the if Divisorsbaritself(Divisorsbaritself(i)) == i: condition is the right condition to include i in the list, but it is giving me 40285, rather than 31626, the answer.

A: If Divisorsbaritself(i)==i you shouldn't count i.
def amicable():
    solution = []
    for i in range(10000):
        if Divisorsbaritself(i)!=i and Divisorsbaritself(Divisorsbaritself(i)) == i:
            solution.append(i)
    return sum(solution)

But you should also fix the bug that would be an issue if i is a perfect square and in an amicable pair.
You can improve this with list comprehensions.
def amicable():
    solution = [i for i in xrange(10000) if Divisorsbaritself(i)!=i and Divisorsbaritself(Divisorsbaritself(i)) == i]
    return sum(solution)

A: They're amicable numbers only if they're different. So if divsum(i) is equal to i, then that's not included, despite the fact that means that divsum(divsum(i)) also equals i.
In addition, your current check counts the square root of a perfect square twice, even though it's only one factor.
And, on top of that, I wouldn't be using a list then summing it at the end when you can simply use an accumulator. And it's usually faster to do multiplication than square roots so you can change the while loop to take that into account.
Finally, for the love of whatever deities you believe in, comment your code! It'll make it so much easier to understand what's going on, both for others and for yourself six months down the track.
Incorporating those changes gives you the following DivisorsBarItself function:
def DivisorsBarItself(num):
    # Maintain sum of factors.

    divSum = 1

    # Go through every integer up to but excluding sqrt(num).

    testnum = 2
    while testnum * testnum < num:
        # If factor, add it and the complement (guaranteed integer).

        if num % testnum == 0:
            divSum += testnum + num/testnum
        testnum += 1

    # If perfect square, add the square root once.

    if testnum * testnum == num:
        divSum += testnum

    # Return the sum.

    return divSum

Fixing the logic for detecting amicable numbers and using a sum rather than a list gives you:
def AmicableSum():
    # Set sum to zero and process all numbers below 10,000.

    solution = 0
    for num in range(10000):
        # Get the "friend", add only if different and f(f(x)) = x.

        numFriend = DivisorsBarItself(num)
        if numFriend != num and DivisorsBarItself(numFriend) == num:
            solution += num

    return solution

print AmicableSum()

which gives the correct result of 31626.

A: I have fixed the bug now by going:
def Divisorsbaritself(x):
    divList = [1]
    y = 2
    while y <= math.sqrt(x):
        if x % y == 0:
            if y is not int(x/y):
                divList.append(y)
                divList.append(int(x / y))
            else:
                divList.append(y)
        y += 1
    return sum(divList)

A: I have written the whole thing you said as a function
def devisor(a):
   listOfFactors=[]
   for possibleFactor in range(1,a):
       if a%x==0:
           listOfFactors.append(possibleFactor)
   sumOfFactors=0
   for item in z:
       sumOfFactors+=item
   factorsOfNewSumAddedUp=0
   for x in range(1,sumOfFactors):
       if temp%x==0:
           factorsOfNewSumAddedUp+=x
   if a==factorsOfNewSumAddedUp:
        print("this is a divisor")

Q: Splitting a string into an object using regular expressions I have a collection (of about 61000) strings that look like
"(((((((((.(((((.&.))))))))))))))  11,26  :   6,20  (-9.37 = -16.05 + 6.56 + 0.13) GCCAACUGACGUUGUU&AAUAAUUCAGUUGGU"
There are a variable number of spaces (1-3) between each part of the string.
Ultimately what I want is to convert this string to a javascript object:
{
    parens: "(((((((((.(((((.&.))))))))))))))",
    sRNAstart: 11,
    sRNAend: 26,
    mRNAstart: 6,
    mRNAend: 20,
    netEnergy: -9.37,
    bindingEnergy: -16.05,
    sRNAOpenEnergy: 6.56,
    mRNAOpenEnergy: 0.13,
    sequences: "GCCAACUGACGUUGUU&AAUAAUUCAGUUGGU"
}

This sounds like a job for RegEx man, bust sadly I am not him. Can anyone help me figure out a way to accomplish this?

A: here is a way to use regexp to parse the string, with one internal work-around for those pesky parens:
var s="(((((((((.(((((.&.)))))))))))))) 11,26 : 6,20 (-9.37 = -16.05 + 6.56 + 0.13) GCCAACUGACGUUGUU&AAUAAUUCAGUUGGU";

var ob=s.split( /([\s]{1,4}|[,=+:()])/ )
     .filter( /./.test, /\w/ )
     .map(function(chunk, i){
        if(i===0) this.parens= s.split(" ")[0];
        this[[  "sRNAstart","sRNAend","mRNAstart","mRNAend","netEnergy",
                "bindingEnergy","sRNAOpenEnergy","mRNAOpenEnergy","sequences"
        ][i]]=  +chunk || (chunk==="0"? 0 : chunk);
       return this;
     },{})[0] ; //end ob

alert(
  JSON.stringify(
    ob,
    null,
    "\t"
  )
);

result:
 {
    "parens": "(((((((((.(((((.&.))))))))))))))",
    "sRNAstart": 11,
    "sRNAend": 26,
    "mRNAstart": 6,
    "mRNAend": 20,
    "netEnergy": -9.37,
    "bindingEnergy": -16.05,
    "sRNAOpenEnergy": 6.56,
    "mRNAOpenEnergy": 0.13,
    "sequences": "GCCAACUGACGUUGUU&AAUAAUUCAGUUGGU"
}

EDIT: removed use of non-capturing parens for more x-browser compat with OLD browsers.
EDIT: adjustments: make "0" into 0, avoid setting this.parens each time, formatting, and argument cleanup.

A: A Javascript split() with multiple delimiters should yield an array of all of the values you need.
From there, it's simple string concatenation.

A: This expression will not ensure that the parentheses are matched, but it should break out everything in your pattern.
([(.&)]+)\s*(\d+),(\d+)\s*:\s*(\d+),(\d+)\s*\(([-.\d]+)\s*=\s*([-.\d]+)\s*\+\s*([-.\d]+)\s*\+\s*([-.\d]+)\)\s*([GCAU&]+)

A: Here is an alternative that should also work for you and is cross-browser.
Javascript
function parse(string) {
    if (typeof string !== "string") {
        throw new TypeError("Attribute must be a string.");
    }

    var props = ["parens", "sRNAstart", "sRNAend", "mRNAstart", "mRNAend", "netEnergy", "bindingEnergy", "sRNAOpenEnergy", "mRNAOpenEnergy", "sequences"],
        array = string.split(/[)]?\s+[(:=+]?\s*|,/),
        object = {},
        value;

    if (array.length !== props.length) {
        throw new Error("String could not be converted.");
    }

    do {
        value = array.shift();
        object[props.shift()] = +value || value;
    } while (props.length);

    return object;
}

var ref = "(((((((((.(((((.&.)))))))))))))) 11,26 : 6,20 (-9.37 = -16.05 + 6.56 + 0.13) vGCCAACUGACGUUGUU&AAUAAUUCAGUUGGU";

for(var i = 0; i < 3; i += 1) {
    console.log(ref, parse(ref));
    ref = ref.replace(/(\s+)/g, function (all, whitespace) {
        return whitespace + " ";
    });
}

A Woman's Work in Global Supply Chain
Recognizing Women Transportation Industry Leaders
By Casey Cooper
The saying goes, " this is a man's world." For eons men have led the pack in pioneering industries such as commerce, logistics and global supply chain management. As of late, there has been a shift in the contributions of women in these principles. With entrepreneurship growing 162 percent among woman-owned businesses from 2008 to 2017, is it really a new trend, or have women been behind the scenes, pushing humanity forward the entire time?
The majority of the leading transportation providers are owned by men. However, it's the women who are behind the front lines dotting I's, and crossing T's; they just don't get the credit.
In 1920, with the ratification of the 19th Amendment, women were given the right to vote. In 1932, Amelia Earhart soars non-stop across the Atlantic Ocean. A few decades later in 1955, Rosa Parks sparks the Civil Rights Movement. In just a short span of 30 years women made brazen strides to be seen, felt and heard.
Despite these poignant efforts, little headway was being made In logistics … or was it?
Organizations like Women in Logistics, founded by Stacy Roth, started sprout up in the late 1970s and '80s. Although there were few collective resources for women to fellowship professionally, women still made up more than 70 percent of clerical and administration positions within major corporations. As women progressed individually, they pioneered collectively in sports, science, technology and Logistics.
Keeping in step with the new rise of the female phoenix, Elizabeth Dole became the first female U.S. Secretary of State in 1983. Known for her work with MADD, or Mothers against Drunk Driving, she helped promote the use of seatbelts and incentives for manufacturers to install airbags in new automobiles. President Regan even remarked about her personal contributions to road safety "because of your personal emphasis on transportation safety, Is now a national priority."
Shortly after her resignation, more powerhouse women in high profile transportation positions began to emerge:
• Marion Blakey became the first female chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board after her 15-year stint as administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration.
• Ellen Voie takes her role as president and CEO of Women in Trucking Inc., platform who's objective is promoting the employment of women in trucking, removing obstacles and celebrating its members.
• Ann Drake founded AWESOME (Advancing Women's Excellence in Supply chain Operations, Management). The organization provides events, scholarships, and other resources, and the supply chains most prominent organization.
Logistics is still very much an Industry where women are underrepresented. According to an article in Supply Chain Management, only 5 percent of top-level positions in Fortune 500 companies are filled by women. That percentage nearly triples in executive officer positions held by women in other industries. Women like Elizabeth, Marion, and Ellen have risen to the apex of their echelon and have reached back for others.
It's a man's world, but where would we be without the women?
Casey Cooper is founder of The Compass Circle. She has more than years of transportation industry experience, and in 2006 started a trucking company which, over the course of the next decade, turned one truck into a US$6 million transportation pipeline.
Cooper will participate in the Breakbulk Americas panel, "Diversity & Inclusion in Breakbulk: How to Become a Diversity Champion," which will be held at 10:20 to 11:20 a.m., Sept. 30.

La Pellegrina was founded in 1988 by dancer Dorothée Wortelboer and musician Dirkjan Horringa for the organization of summer schools abroad. In the first years of La Pellegrina the courses were held in Italy, with historical dance and -music as subject. Since 1991 the courses have acquired a much wider scope and take place in Czechia, this summer for the 30th time.
Alison Cooper: "What I like best is playing all this ancient music in such ancient surroundings - the monastery, the church, the castle..."
Margo Huggers: "I often skip lunch to go for a walk. Just outside the town, the woods and the river are lovely."
What does La Pellegrina mean?
La Pellegrina (the Pilgrim Woman) is the name of a Italian play from the 16th century. When this play was to be performed at the marriage of Ferdinand I de' Medici, grand-duke of Tuscany, with Christine de Lorraine, granddaughter of the former queen-mother of France, they decided to make the play a little more lively. Between the play's five acts they added intermedii, musical interludes which were sung, played and danced. They also used spectacular machines which could make gods fly down from the sky and make boats float on stage. These intermedii made a huge impression, which eventually led to the birth of opera as an art form. The Intermedii per La Pellegrina from 1589 was in fact one of the first opera-like productions. Without it, Orfeo from Monteverdi would not have been imaginable.
In 1988 Dorothée Wortelboer and Dirkjan Horringa were invited to do a master class in Italy with the Intermedii per La Pellegrina as main subject. The inviting organization then went bankrupt. Dorothée and Dirkjan decided overnight to organize the summer course themselves. To facilitate this they had to found an company and to choose a name for it; La Pellegrina was the obvious choice. Although in the beginning the focus was on the historical dance and opera, La Pellegrina nowadays doesn't focus on these subjects exclusively anymore, but covers a much wider scope of vocal and instrumental music from the renaissance until now.
La Pellegrina focuses on music from the Baroque, the Classical period, the Romantic era and the 20th/21st century. The courses in Czechia focus on the rich Czech music culture. But there will also be attention for the German, Austrian, Hungarian and Slovakian composers, who belong after all to the same cultural area. For all the courses the century-old historic buildings in which will be rehearsed and where the concerts will take place create a unique atmosphere and lend extra inspiration to the musicians.
Marinus de Mooij: "I've learned so much. There are so many tutors that I often had the impression of having private lessons."
Intensive coaching by specialist tutors
String quartet at relaxed moment
Conductor Dirkjan Horringa is the driving force behind the summer courses, cooperating closely with an international team of specialised musicians. 'Each project consists of ten days of rehearsing for six hours a day,' he explains. 'Half of that time is spent in close contact with specialist tutors. The great thing about the course is that all the time you are surrounded by tutors, instruments and voices, so you can imagine there is a lot of playing outside official rehearsals, even in ensembles of unusual composition.'
Erika Ploeger: "After ten days of rehearsing everybody is ready for the big concert which really gives you a kick. Afterwards, we play salon music on the goodbye party."
At a rather high level
The Czech summers in Bechyně consist of three projects, for chamber choir and orchestra, symphonic orchestra and chamber music and for early music specialists. Needless to say that there is both serious work and good fun on a good musical level for passionate singers and instrumentalists.
Concert at the Riding School, Bechyně
Evelien Tollenaar: "Everything has been arranged when you get there. All you need to do is pack your instrument and go. Once in Bechyne, there is ten days of worrying about nothing, except playing the right notes"
Trio during chamber music rehearsal
Jonelle Soelling:	"Preparing to take part in this music festival really motivated me to achieve a higher level of playing. Being part of an international musical community in Czechia was a wonderful experience"
Discussion in the monastery cloister, Bechyně
Wilma Luining: "Since everybody in the course loves music, it never takes long to get to know the others, even if you have come on your own."
Fransje Eiselin: "For me, travelling is difficult as I am blind. However this is my third time in Bechyne. It is easy to hitch rides with other particpants, and travelling together adds to the fun."
Martin Ashton: "After every rehearsal we brass players feel an enormous need to taste the Czech beer in the little pub on the corner."
Orchestra in action in the Riding School, Bechyně
Martha Petringmeier: "From Germany, where I live, Czechia is not far at all, but it is exotic enough to have that feeling of being on a holiday somewhere far away."
La Pellegrina organizes two projects in the upcoming summer.

Lebanon Minister Predicts Great Future for Franchise Industry
29 May 2010 - BEIRUT: The budding Lebanese franchising industry has reached a turning point and is set to expand beyond the country's domestic market.
BEIRUT: The budding Lebanese franchising industry has reached a turning point and is set to expand beyond the country's domestic market, Economy and Trade Minister Mohammad Safadi told The Daily Star during the opening ceremony of the Beirut International Franchise Forum and Exhibition on Thursday.
"It is a turning point for the franchise industry. I see it as an expanding industry that can bring lots of revenues to those companies who are franchising," Safadi said on the sidelines of the forum's opening session.
The minister was among the keynote speakers who kicked off the two-day forum, which is unfolding at the Adnan Kassar Edifice for Arab Economy in Beirut until Friday.
The event, which is in its first year, aims to offer concerned businessmen the opportunity to hear leading speakers on topics covering the current trends and challenges and of franchising.
The Lebanese franchising industry, which is estimated at a value of $3.2 billion, leads the competition in the Middle East at a time the booming regional market, estimated at $30 billion in 2008, is drawing increasing international attention.
Experts agree the Middle East market is still in its infancy, but with a whopping growth rate of 25 percent, it offers promising opportunities which the Lebanese business community is impatient to tap.
According to Safadi, a growing number of companies possess the characteristics required to take a leap and join those few who have already begun to explore opportunities outside the country's boundaries.
"The management level [of Lebanese franchises] has been growing, and I think in some cases it has achieved a proper level to carry franchising at the international level," he said.
The minister also insisted that the country's legislators were focusing their efforts to minimize the red tape that can interfere with franchising ventures.
"The success of franchising is more continuous and better maintained when the government plays a role. This is what we intend to do," he said, adding that "a bundle of bills" aimed at safeguarding and improving the investment climate in Lebanon were in Parliament.
With small and medium enterprises currently making the bulk of the industry's players, experts agree the Lebanese market has still a long way to go before it reaches full capacity. But with the recent explosion of the retail sector across the region – with shopping centers and entertainment centers multiplying –they say the industry is poised to grow.
"The sector is growing fast and is diversifying. It has already begun to penetrate regional and international markets," said Adnan Kassar, the president of the General Union of the Chambers of Commerce.
Kassar further highlighted the "prominent position" that Lebanese franchises already enjoy in the region.
"Lebanon is a success story," he said, adding that franchises originating from Lebanon were characterized by "a high level of taste and worldwide renowned quality."
He insisted that the increasing practice of franchising a brand offered a business-model whereby risk is reduced. Franchising "will reduce the costs and risks associated with production, marketing, promotion, the adoption of modern management techniques, and access to credit facilities," he said.
He also encouraged businessmen across the region to franchise Arab products. "[It] will represent an important opportunity to promote these products in foreign markets," he said.
Lebanese Franchise Association President Charles Arbid, meanwhile, insisted on the need for Lebanese and Arab entrepreneurs to put forward creative products in order to be remain competitive on the international market.
"Our community is not only a consumer society, but also one based on creativity," Arbid said.
Like previous speakers, Arbid further praised Lebanon's flair for pioneering products. "There is a long story between Lebanon, creativity, and innovation," he said, "We want the Lebanese franchise to become the ambassador of Lebanon worldwide."
The Beirut International Franchise Forum and Exhibition continues until noon on Friday and is open to the general public.
Talks scheduled for Friday will deal with the legal aspects of franchising and with the common financing methods employed by practitioners.
The debates are complemented with stands set up for the occasion by Lebanon's leading franchised companies.

Here you will find useful information to consider before and during your trip.
When you arrive by car from Austria and travel to Austria during your stay, it is important to know that a vignette for vehicles with a maximum weight of 3.5 tons is mandatory for driving on Austrian motorways and expressways. The easiest way to get a vignette is at the local petrol stations. Before driving on these roads, the vignette must be visible on the windscreen. If you do not want to buy a vignette, please take the exit Bad Reichenhall (coming from the direction of Munich). You can find more information about the vignette and the toll here.
In addition to the vignette, there is also a toll in Austria, which applies when driving on some tunnels and mountain roads. In Germany, tolls are also required for certain roads, as it is the case for the Rossfeld scenic road.
Especially in the winter months, snow and ice can be expected on the streets in the Berchtesgadener Land. For this reason, we strongly recommend winter equipment. On some mountain passes, snow chains are also required for certain vehicles.
In case of heavy snow, we ask you to drive via the town "Oberau".
EU citizens do not need a visa to enter the Federal Republic of Germany.
All other foreigners are required to visa for stays in Germany. For stays of up to 90 days in any 180-day period, nationals do not need a visa for which the European Community has waived the visa requirement.
An overview of visa requirements can be found here.
We wish you a pleasant journey and look forward to welcoming you at the Kempinski Hotel Berchtesgaden!

There is a door at the end of a silent corridor. And it's haunting Harry Potter's dreams. Why else would he be waking in the middle of the night, screaming in terror?
Here are just a few things on Harry's mind:
• A Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher with a personality like poisoned honey.
• A venomous, disgruntled house-elf
• Ron as keeper of the Gryffindor Quidditch team
• The looming terror of the end-of-term Ordinary Wizarding Level exams
. . . and of course, the growing threat of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. In the richest installment yet of J. K. Rowling's seven-part story, Harry Potter is faced with the unreliability of the very government of the magical world and the impotence of the authorities at Hogwarts.
Despite this (or perhaps because of it), he finds depth and strength in his friends, beyond what even he knew, boundless loyalty; and unbearable sacrifice.
Though thick runs the plot, listeners will race through these tapes and leave Hogwarts, like Harry, wishing only for the next train back.

Each year Carers Trust organises Young Carers Awareness Day. The purpose of the day is to raise public awareness of the challenges faced by young people because of their caring role, and to campaign for greater support for young carers and their needs.
1 in 5 secondary school pupils care for a family member.
It can be lonely and stressful and lead to mental health problems.
That's why this year, on 31 January 2019, the focus for Young Carer Awareness Day is on the theme of mental health.
Celina was twelve years old when her Dad died and she became a carer for her Mum and five siblings.
If you are a young carer check out the Info Zone for help on dealing with anxiety and stress . Young adult carers can find advice and support on YACbook including how to look after your mental health.
New research from a YouGov survey has revealed that over one third of young people aged 11-18 in Great Britain who give up time to care for someone they live with are experiencing widespread problems with their mental wellbeing.
We are working with the Children's Society and the Wiltshire Healthy Schools programme to improve identification and the support of young carers. For Young Carers Awareness Day we'll be out and about raising awareness in the regions schools and colleges including John Of Gaunt School in Trowbridge and Salisbury College. If you are a teacher or someone working within a school setting and would like more information on supporting young carers contact Sharon Twiggs in our Reaching Communities Team on 0800 181 4118.
Carers Trust have produced activities to use in schools to help raise awareness of Young Carers Awareness Day 2019. Click here for lesson activities, information about young carers and a quiz.

Q: Flutter: How to return data? This is my code. And i want to return my data memo_list. memo_list have value in code of here.
But memo_list is return empty value.
I don't know why data has been removed.
  List fetchMemosFromAllUsers(List<dynamic> users){
    List memo_list = List();

    for(final user in users){
      FirebaseFirestore.instance.collection("MEMO").where(KEY_USERKEY, isEqualTo: user).get().then((docs) {
        if(docs.docs.isNotEmpty){
          for(int i = 0; i < docs.docs.length; i++){
            memo_list.add(docs.docs[i].data());         <-------here
          }
        }
      });
    }
    return memo_list;
  }

A: You are not awaiting for the Future to return. memo_list is returned before .then() is executed, therefore memo_list will always be empty.
Try
  Future<List> fetchMemosFromAllUsers(List<dynamic> users) async {
    List memo_list = List();

    for(final user in users){
      await FirebaseFirestore.instance.collection("MEMO").where(KEY_USERKEY, isEqualTo: user).get().then((docs) {
        if(docs.docs.isNotEmpty){
          for(int i = 0; i < docs.docs.length; i++){

          }
        }
      });
    }
    return memo_list;
  }

Minced pork rice (or lo bah png, Chinese: 滷肉飯; pinyin: lǔròufàn; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: ló͘-bah-pn̄g) is a rice dish that is commonly seen throughout Taiwan and Southern Fujian.[1] The flavor may vary from one region to another, but the basic ingredients remain the same: ground pork marinated and boiled in soy sauce served on top of steamed rice. It is a type of gaifan dish.
4 Regional varieties
How the dish was developed is not as clear. According to a study by a professor from the Department of History of Taiwan,[clarify] a similar meat sauce dish dates back to at least China's Zhou Dynasty. The Book of Rites records: "In a saucepan cook meat, and stir after adding seasoning until mostly browned sauce, then pour the meat sauce on cooked rice." There is also a description of these foods in the novel "Water Margin" by Suzhounese writer Shi Nai'an.[2] In time, the dish developed into countless regional variations. These different varieties can be found all over China with the Taiwanese version bearing strongest resemblance to those found in Southern Fujian.[3] This gives credence to the theory that minced pork rice was brought to Taiwan by Fujianese immigrants.[4][5]
According to Shuowen Jiezi (說文解字, Explaining Simple and Analyzing Compound Characters), the word "Lu (滷)" has the closest meaning to "cooking in thick broth or sauce." This gives the term "滷肉飯" the direct meaning of "rice with braised meat."
However, for several decades, many Taiwanese people have used the homophone "魯" instead of "滷". Although people still use the original character in China, "魯肉飯" has become the most common name seen in Taiwanese restaurants and street vendors. 魯 is the ancient name for the Chinese province of Shandong, which led the Michelin Green Guide Taiwan to write in April 2011 that minced pork rice originated from Shandong. This confusion then led to a fierce debate[6] in which most Taiwanese insisted that minced pork rice was in reality a true symbol of Taiwan, while others viewed it as a Chinese dish that caught on in Taiwan.
Since minced pork rice was first recorded in the Zhou Dynasty, it is entirely possible that the dish did originate in Shandong or close by in the region of North China.[7] Taiwanese gourmets Hu Tianlan and Zhu Zhenduo agree that it is highly likely that the dish originated from Shandong based on historical records and the cooking style bearing a strong resemblance to Shandong cuisine.[8]
Preparation[edit]
As the origin of the flavor, the sauce is the key to making minced pork rice. The most popular way of preparation seen in Taiwan is stir-frying the ground meat with sliced shallot in oil, and then boiling it in soy sauce. In the frying process, one may customize the flavor by adding seasonings such as sugar, rice wine, pepper and other spices. When finished, the dark-brown meat sauce is called "bah-sò (肉燥)", and is also served with noodles, soup, vegetables and many homemade Taiwanese dishes. [9]
Regional varieties[edit]
While minced pork rice is an important icon in typical Taiwanese folk cuisine, the variety of methods to customize flavors is so wide that it creates considerable differences between regions. In southern Taiwan, where people name it by the sauce "bah-sò-pn̄g (肉燥飯)" instead of the meat, minced pork rice is preferably served with pork with less fat. People in the north of Taiwan favor a greasier version of meat sauce with rice, sometimes even with glutinous rice mixed in.
In southern Taiwan, while "bah-sò-pn̄g" is seen on the menu indicating minced pork rice, "ló͘-bah-pn̄g (滷肉飯)" remains on the very same menu, referring to another dish where braised pork belly covers the rice. The same rice with braised pork belly is known as "khòng-bah-pn̄g (焢肉飯)" in northern Taiwan.
Minced pork rice can also be found in China, and a wider selection of vegetables such as corn is eaten along with it.[citation needed]

Q: Create Url based on User's First and Last names I'm trying to generate a link based on a user's first and last name to display on their archive page.
I currently have the link set to a custom field called "archive_link" and am using the acf update_value hook to update the field.
(BTW  I'm using a text field instead of a url because it plays more nicely with Elementor's dynamic fields.)
function my_acf_update_value( $value, $post_id, $field, $original ) {
    if( is_string($value) ) {
        $new_user = get_userdata( $user_id );

        # Get the user's first and last name
        $first_name = $new_user->first_name;
        $last_name = $new_user->last_name;

        # Set Archive Link
        $value = 'Test' . $first_name . $last_name;
    }
    return $value;
}

// Apply to all fields.
add_filter('acf/update_value/name=archive_link', 'my_acf_update_value', 10, 4);

Thank you for any help you can offer me with this!


Home > Latest Hyundai News > What Happens If You Put Petrol In A Diesel Car?
Your Hyundai needs fuel to run, and the type of fuel that you use is dependent on the type of engine under the hood.
There are a lot of drivers who opt for a diesel version, and that can mean trouble at the pumps if they aren't careful.
The average gas station has a large row of pumps, not to mention a variety of different fuel option buttons on said pumps.
If you make the mistake of pushing the wrong button and putting petrol in diesel engine, you could be looking at a whole world of trouble.
The good news is that this mistake doesn't have to be a total nightmare, but there are some steps that you have to follow.
Let's assume for a moment that you don't notice your mistake right away. This is a definite possibility, as your car will start and drive for a little bit, but it will eventually seize up and stop on your entirely.
The hope here is that there hasn't been too much damage done to the essential parts of your engine, because you could very well be looking at costly repairs as a result.
This is something that can certainly be avoided if you notice the mistake before you drive off.
If you notice your mistake, you need to make sure that you do not stat the car. Once you switch on the ignition, you send the mix of petrol and diesel into the engine, and that is when the problems begin.
Tuning the key could well be the difference between having a car that works, and which can be back on the road shortly, or having one that seizes up and ends up in the shop for an extensive spell as it undergoes costly repairs. We are pretty sure that you would sooner have the first of those two options available to you.
The good news with putting petrol in a diesel engine is that there is something that can be done to help.
If you catch the problem before starting the engine, you can call out the pros to flush fuel tank, clean it out, and have you back on the road in no time at all, assuming you make sure to fill your tank with the proper fuel this time around.
If your car has stalled after driving it with the fuel mix, there is the chance that no major damage will have been done. The same flushing and cleaning process will take place, and hopefully you can get moving again.
This is a mistake that is commonly made, and one way to ensure that you don't do it is by paying attention when you get to the pumps.
Take time to select the proper fuel option, and take notice if the nozzle seems a little harder to get in than usual. Since the diesel nozzle is usually larger than a gasoline one, it's usually the other way that a mistake is made.
That said, putting the wrong fuel in your Hyundai car is something that can happen, so be sure to call the pros once it does.

Preview: IBA World Cocktail Championships 2017
17 August 2017 By Nicola Carruthers
The International Bartenders Association welcomes back one of the biggest and most hotly anticipated cocktail competitions in the on-trade's calendar, the annual World Cocktail Championships. SB reveals what's to come…
The IBA World Cocktail Championship (WCC) will take place in Copenhagen, Denmark in October
More than 1,000 bartenders, brand representatives and industry leaders are set to gather in Copenhagen, Denmark, to celebrate bartending talent from around the world. Over the course of five days, from 15-19 October, a packed programme during the IBA's Congress & World Cocktail Championships will keep everyone on their toes, with cocktail making, brand masterclasses and conference sessions, as well as plenty of extravagant dinners and parties to attend.
Founded in 1951, the IBA held its first International Cocktail Competition in Amsterdam in October 1955. The event grew in size and in 1999 its name was changed to World Cocktail Competition, before taking on the World Cocktail Championships (WCC) name in 2011.
Today there are 65 dedicated national bartender associations and guilds around the world. The WCC is now the world's largest battleground for movers and shakers in the bar world. Around 130 bartenders representing 65 countries will take to the stage to compete in the 2017 WCC in the hope of being named champion. Preliminaries are held globally, with more than 100,000 bartenders vying for a place in the competition.
Selected by host guild the Danish Bartenders Association, Øksnehallen, one of Copenhagen's largest exhibition halls, will play host to the 66th WCC.
This year marks the first year that the competition will be held in an exhibition venue rather than in a hotel, with competitors and delegates staying in the nearby Radisson Blu Scandinavia Hotel and the DGI-byens Hotel.
Hundreds are expected to arrive in Copenhagen, from guilds as far flung as Argentina and Armenia, South Africa and Taiwan, to compete in six international Classic Mixing competitions: Before Dinner Cocktail; Sparkling Cocktail; Short Drink; Long Drink; Bartender's Choice; and After Dinner Cocktail. The winners of the Classic Mixing competitions and the separate Flairtending Competition will compete in the WCC Super Final for the IBA World Bartender of the Year award.
Flag day: the 2016 gala dinner
Nordic Beverage Festival
There are also plenty of activities outside of the competition, including the inaugural Nordic Beverage Festival, which will run on 17-18 October in Øksnehallen. The festival aims to gather the best and most innovative Nordic producers of beer, spirits and mixers under one roof, as well as showcase the latest trends for the year ahead. On Tuesday 17 October, the event will be open to the general public, with 2,500 visitors expected to attend.
The following day will see 2,000 bartenders, waiters, managers and owners attend the trade day for unique tasting experiences, as well as to familiarise themselves the premium products being showcased and to take advantage of the plentiful networking opportunities.
In addition, there will also be an open area with local street art, an abundance of food vendors, a restaurant exclusively open for WCC participants, a hangout area for all competitors and a practice area for flairtending.
This year will also focus on the spectator, with visitors invited to an open tasting. After the competition, competitors will be invited to a bar off-stage, to once again mix their cocktails for members of the audience to taste.
Events will kick off with a welcome cocktail and dinner party on Sunday 15 October for the early arrivals.
Guests will also be able to enjoy a traditional 'Danish Night' on Monday 16 October, featuring Danish dishes and products, as well as local entertainment.
On Wednesday 18 October, bartenders will make sure spectators shimmy to the end of their seats when they go head-to-head in the flamboyant and captivating Flairtending Finals, while the following day will see the start of the WCC Classic Mixing Competitions – leading on to the Super Final that afternoon.
The IBA Bartender of the Year winner will then be revealed at a cocktail reception, gala dinner and Monin cocktail party that same evening, celebrating all the successes of the past week.
At the end of last year's hotly fought competition in Tokyo, Japanese bartender Kenji Tsubokura was declared overall winner of the WCC 2016, impressing a panel of judges with his light and fragrant serve, called The Best Scene.
Keep your eyes peeled for our October issue to see who will take away the top accolade in Copenhagen this year.
Click through the following pages to see last year's winners and an interview with the 2016 IBA WCC champion Kenji Tsubokura.
Kenji Tsubokura: IBA WCC winner 2016
How has winning the competition had an impact on you and your career?
WCC is the most prestigious event in Japan. It's the Olympics of cocktails and I was proud to represent Japan. It was a pleasure to meet bartenders from other countries. I felt that not only my work but also my Japanese bartending abilities were highly valued, and I was happy to have every bartender's support and blessings. WCC 2016 is definitely one of the greatest experiences of my career.
How much preparation had you done for the competition?
I had my cocktail concept for almost a year. I wanted to innovate and create a new taste that expressed Japanese feelings.
What was the most challenging aspect of the competition for you?
I felt that the most important thing was to get everyone to understand the concept of my cocktail. I was inspired by a Japanese proverb, which is 'treasure every encounter, for it will never reoccur'. The Best Scene portrays two of my wishes. I wanted to provide a precious moment, or memorable scene, in my guests' lives. Also, I wanted to express the relaxation and beauty of Japanese hospitality, which is about creating a unique and unforgettable moment. For example, Japanese tearooms are designed very simply – there are no distractions, so every subtle detail is noticeable. This makes every experience unique.
What tips can you offer to competitors?
I was clumsy in my 20s. I think in order to win the competition, it is important to accumulate daily research.
What plans do you have for the future?
I would like to repay the Nippon Bartenders Association, which took care of me, and to help raise the next generation of bartenders. I would like to continue creating cocktails that will impress our customers around the world. And, I would like to travel around the world's bars, too.

Last year's winning recipe – The Best Scene
"I practiced my cocktail many, many times for this competition and also took English lessons to improve my presentation," said last year's IBA Bartender of the Year, Kenji Tsubokura, from Japan. "I am very shocked and happy to win, especially in my home country," he added (the IBA WCC took place in Tokyo in 2016). "The IBA has given me a great experience as a bartender."
Tsubokura claimed the title against hundreds of bartenders with his cocktail The Best Scene. For winning, he secured an all-expenses-paid trip to the 2017 Copenhagen WCC edition, and his winning cocktail will be served at this year's welcome party.

"Tuscaloosa, The Nineteenth Century City," is a short film by ten students enrolled in HY 300 – The Nineteenth Century City at the University of Alabama.
Their instructor, Assistant History Professor Sharony Green, challenged them to find "the nineteenth century city" in Tuscaloosa. Each student conducted research and became an "expert" on a local building. This film is the culmination of their efforts.
Former Assistant Professor Bart Elmore, who spins vinyl as a hobby, did the soundtrack for this project.

Dallas Blocker (born Nathan Blocker a.k.a. Dallas) is an American singer, producer and songwriter. After signing with Latium Records in 2004, Blocker later formed independent label Blockerboy Music LLC on which he released the EP Alone, the album Love and Lust (in Japan) and the Billboard chart hit "Rock Ya Body".

Early life

Blocker was born and reared for a short time in Dallas, Texas by his mother, but later joined his father at age seven in Trinity Gardens – a Northeast Houston, Texas neighborhood.  He began singing and performing in church at a young age, and eventually chose the stage name "Dallas" to acknowledge both the city in which he was born and his mother, a long-time Dallas, Texas resident.

Musical Beginnings

While acclimating to life in Houston, Blocker busied himself singing, learning to produce music and penning his own lyrics.  While attending Kashmere High School and during college, Blocker was a member of a male R&B group, which included Brian Angel of Day26. The group environment allowed Blocker to use his skills as a songwriter, producer and lead vocalist to amass the interest of new fans and local music industry executives. He also was the choir director at Fallbrook Church

Career: Collaborations

Blocker has collaborated with many noted musical artists throughout his career, including producer Bryan Michael Cox; lead vocalist of R&B group H-Town the late Kevin "Dino" Conner; rappers Bun B, Rick Ross, J-Dawg, Z-Ro, Slim Thug, Tum Tum, Lil Flip, Mike Jones, Paul Wall, and Trae; and several KBXX DJs.  His work includes lead vocals, production and writing on "Get It Girl", which is featured on the Bring It On: All or Nothing music soundtrack, and "After Da Club" with the late rapper Hawk.  It was this smash hit that allowed Blocker to forge a relationship with Latium Records, which hosts artist Pitbull and formerly hosted artists Chamillionaire, Slim Thug, Frankie J, Natalie and Baby Bash.

Career: Solo Efforts

In 2008, Blocker took control of his music career by establishing his independent label Blockerboy Music LLC following a year under contract, and later, a voluntary release from Latium Records.  With the release of Alone (EP) and the subsequent release of the Love & Lust album in Japan, Blocker soon headlined Japan's Save R&B tour in September 2009 and opened for R&B star Babyface at Houston's Arena Theater in August 2010.  In 2010, Blocker's smash hit "Rock Ya Body," produced by Texas hit-making duo Beanz N Kornbread, debuted on Billboard's Top 100 chart at #75 and was heard by more than two million listeners weekly with heavy radio play in Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas.  The single spent 20 weeks on the Billboard charts.  To accompany the single's wave of success, the "Rock Ya Body" video, which was directed by Michael Kimbrew in association with TF Records, was also released in 2010, and featured Farrah Franklin (formerly of Destiny's Child), Montana Fishburne and Orlando Brown.  In 2011, Blocker released the single "Out Da Club" featuring Diamond; soon after, the single's video—featuring Z-Ro and directed by JC Visuals in association with Blockerboy Music LLC—followed.

Compassionate Care Dental provides dental implant treatment affordably and conveniently. More people each year are turning to implant dentures as the best solution for replacing their missing teeth. The permanently fixed dentures allow them to eat, speak, and smile confidently. Unlike regular dentures, Implant retained dentures help to maintain our bone structure allowing to prevent bone loss and premature aging.
When you lose a tooth, it is best for your oral health to have it replaced. Missing teeth can affect your "bite" as well as your ability to speak and chew. Their loss can increase the burden on your remaining teeth and can cause muscle pain in your jaws and headaches. And of course, losing a tooth can affect your appearance. The following information reviews replacing missing teeth with an implant retained denture.
A similar range of treatment options are also available for your upper jaw. However, because the bone is not as hard as that in the lower jaw, people often need more implants to support their new replacement teeth. Depending upon the number of implants to be placed, it may be possible to eliminate the need for covering the roof of your mouth with a complete denture. This option allows you to fully taste your food and gives you a better sense of its temperature. Your denture will feel more natural. You will still have a removable denture, which makes cleaning the support bar and denture much easier.

The Potential of Cryptocurrencies to Transform our Taxation Systems for the Better
By Zbigniew Dumienski and Nicholas Ross Smith - 02 February 2018
Zbigniew Dumienski and Nicholas Ross Smith argue that the seemingly unstoppable rise of cryptocurrencies could precipitate a shift in the taxations systems of developed states across the globe towards land taxation. Rather than being calamitous, this would be a more progressive source of revenue than the current reliance on incomes, consumption, and businesses.
The incredible growth of cryptocurrencies over the past six months has captured the attention and imagination of the world, with something of a crypto-mania emerging. What was once predominately the domain of a niche group of internet libertarians, cryptocurrencies are quickly becoming the darlings of Wall Street.
Much of the recent focus on cryptocurrency has been whether or not it is a bubble. Such questions are unsurprising because anything that grows at the rate cryptocurrencies have been - Bitcoin, for example, has increased 101,745% over 5 years - certainly looks like speculative hysteria.
However, as Dominic Frisby points out, even if/when the correction happens (and, indeed, Bitcoin has already experienced several ~80% corrections over the last five years), the utility of the technology pioneered by the cryptocurrency boom will remain. Consequently, collapse or not, cryptocurrencies, in some shape or form, are here to stay.
The rise of cryptocurrencies has caused much rumination as to its pros and cons. Advocates argue that they offer a cheaper, faster, and more secure way of transferring funds. They also point to cryptocurrencies being less biased and sounder alternatives to the current monetary system which is blighted by low-interest rates and the continuous debasement of popular traditional currencies.
Critics, beyond the obvious fears raised about the current volatility of most cryptocurrencies, raise additional concerns about the use of cryptocurrencies by criminal organizations, terrorist groups, or rogue states. Indeed, given that most cryptocurrencies offer a high degree of anonymity (with some, such as Monero, offering practically full anonymity) from the gazing eyes of states, they are probably already the currencies of choice for those committing large scale clandestine activities.
However, the privacy aspect of cryptocurrencies creates a greater problem for states across the globe beyond policing criminal activity as it could potentially upset the foundations of the existing fiscal systems.
At the current time, most, if not all, of the developed countries in the world source the majority of their revenue from taxes collected from businesses, wages and, increasingly, consumption. For instance, in 2016 the sources of revenue for the countries in the OECD averaged 59% from wages (individual taxes and social insurance taxes), 32.7% from consumption, and 8.5% from corporate taxes, with other sources making up the remaining 8%.
Even now, states have a hard time running efficient taxation systems based off the collection of revenue from these sources, as clearly demonstrated by the Panama Papers revelations. For a long time, savvy accountants have been able to hide money, often through exploiting legal loopholes, beyond the reach of states.
The inability of states to effectively tax the wealthiest individuals and companies certainly explains the increasing preference in developed states for taxing consumption, which is often more troublesome to hide than money. While consumption taxes may also be better for the economy than taxing incomes, they are still, at their heart, regressive and do nothing to address the widening inequality experienced in these countries.
However, the potential widespread adoption of cryptocurrencies could threaten the way states currently collect revenue. As more businesses and individuals embrace cryptocurrencies, it will become exceedingly difficult to rely on taxing incomes, consumption, and businesses for the purpose of financing the state.
Thanks to the privacy aspect of cryptocurrencies, not only our incomes, but even our everyday purchases of goods and services could one day become private, untraceable and, arguably, untaxable. Consequently, the government's ability to finance its core functions could come under serious threat.
In theory, this vision may sound terrifying. However, it could also be seen an opportunity to rethink their taxation systems for the better of society and the economy.
A significant reduction in revenues from incomes and consumption could be a good thing if taxation is shifted to land. Unlike other sources of tax, the cryptocurrency boom does not affect land because land cannot be hidden, under-reported, or shipped off to a tax-haven. In addition, unimproved land values are easy and cheap to assess on the basis of publicly available information (which makes their assessment not just easier, but also much less prone to corruption).
More importantly, taxing unimproved land values makes sense not just as a defence against the challenges posed by cryptocurrencies, but as a more progressive alternative to our current taxation systems. Unlike taxes on labour or businesses, land is not produced and, therefore, cannot disappear when we tax it.
In fact, taxing land values eliminates the incentives for speculation or land banking and encourages landowners to either use their land more efficiently or sell it on to someone who will. This greatly reduces not only the cost of housing but also urban sprawl and the burden on infrastructure and the natural environment.
Given that land is now seen as one of the main drivers of widening inequality, taxing it is not just good for growth and efficiency, but it is also naturally progressive. Land values reflect the government-funded and community-created advantages available at a given location (think schools, public transport, job opportunities, beautiful parks etc.). Thus, a tax on land is proportional to the benefits enjoyed by its owners.
Additionally, such a tax is the most burdensome to those who own valuable but idle land, such as the absentee owners of vacant or rarely used properties and business that use large sections of land in prime locations in the least efficient manner (think inner city car parks). In contrast, businesses using land efficiently and owner-occupiers are the least affected by taxes falling on unimproved land values. When such taxes are coupled with a reduction in taxes on labour and commercial activity, it those that use land efficiently that stand to make significant savings.
While the benefits of land taxation have been widely known for some time, it has been too politically challenging to implement. However, in the face of the looming cryptocurrency challenge to the state, embracing land taxation represents a logical step which would not only allow the positive elements of cryptocurrencies to remain and flourish but also help address the pervasive issues of rising inequality, slow growth, speculative manias, and environmental degradation.

Bed Bath & Beyond Building on the Block; Could Fetch $500 M., Sources Say
By Laura Kusisto • 06/08/11 11:55am
Hot on the heels of RXR Realty's purchase of the Starrett-Lehigh Building for $900 million and the sale of 111 Eighth Avenue to Google for $1.8 billion, Bed Bath & Beyond's building is on the block.
A partnership of Joseph Chetrit and Yair Levy, spearheaded by Charles Dayan from Bonjour Capital, bought the building for $289.8 million in 2005, according to city records. But with the trendy Chelsea office market enjoying a boom, driven in no small part by the tech bubble, the building could sell for around $500 million, according to some sources.
The owners took out a $235 million mortgage from Wachovia in 2006 and were close to default a few years later, according to The Real Deal.
The building currently has five tenants, including two long-term office tenants until 2030, as well as Bed Bath & Beyond, Marshall's and TJ Maxx. One-third of the retail is below market rate.
"This is the next big building," said Doug Harmon of Eastdil Secured, who is marketing it. "They have five million people who go through every year."
The top two floors are currently vacant, with 170,000 feet of contiguous office space, one of the few such big blocks of contiguous space left in Chelsea. Moreover, the building offers development potential, with 250,000 of additional FAR on top of the building and an adjacent site of 75,000 feet that could potentially serve as a hotel development.
"The market is on the move," Mr. Harmon said. "Where would you want to work and live if you could?"

Brown Ideye On Target As Dynamo Kiev Win
Ukrainian side Dynamo Kiev are through to the group stage of the Europa League following their 8-3 aggregate victory over Aktobe , the conquerors of Akeem Latifu's Hodd.
Today's match was played without spectators as Europe's governing body UEFA had sanctioned Dynamo Kiev due to the racist behavior of fans in last year's Champions League clash with Paris Saint-Germain and the Europa League match against Bordeaux.
The Kievites defeated Aktobe 5 - 1 in the second leg final qualifying round played at Olympic Stadium, Kiev, with goals from Jermain Lens, Roman Bezus, Demersi Mbokani, Brown Ideye and Oleg Gusev.
Alexander Geynrikh netted a consolation goal for the Kazakhstan club from the penalty spot in the 37th minute.
The draw for the group stage of the Europa League will be conducted on Friday, August 30.

I have enjoyed listening to the recordings of Abraham-Hicks while driving and walking, keeping almost up to date with the downloads as they became available. It seemed as if with each new person in the hot-seat there was a new answer. But have I noticed a dropping off, a paring down of unique responses, or is it me and my issues interfering with my personal resonance to All That Is? With almost every questioner these days the answer leads them back to the meditation process at the start of each new day.
In the early Abraham years it was a less absolute recipe to successful alignment. Instead of the way to alignment beginning with meditation, it was about each person finding the place or situation they individually enjoyed being in most and then zoning in/out by simply enjoying their current moment. It sounded like a more individualised recommendation. Esther is doing what the famous psychic, Edgar Cayce did which is to offer what works so well for her personally. Infinite intelligence however knows that it is very much harder, if not impossible, for some people to meditate, or even to rest their mind for a moment – despite application on a regular basis. Not only is it harder, it feels horrible rather than wonderful as Esther describes it.
The secret to Esther's great fluency under a light trance is that she is more present in the translation of Abraham than one might think, although this is not a constant. She has times of non-interference, and times of complete interference; most often it is some of both. The common factor is that Esther is a talker so she finds it a normal thing to fill in gaps in conversation. As she has been performing as a medium for 30+ years, mostly in partnership with husband Jerry who left in 2011, she must continue to find reasons for keeping up the pace year after year. As she is human she will find it necessary to slow down in some ways as time goes on. It must continue to satisfy the natural drive in her to stand on a stage and 'preach'. Actors and other people who thrive under the gaze of an audience often need the energy of this powerful feedback as much as they need food. She has the same sort of gift as Billy Graham, remember him? (He will be 100 years old next year.) He gave people individuality in relation to Christianity – this helped him win over audiences. Queen Elizabeth was drawn in by his charismatic style apparently. His birth chart has a reliable time.
I notice these things because I look at people through the lens of astrology. Many years of examining birth maps have shown me how the dynamics in the chart matches the dynamics in the person. Look at the birth chart of our good Queen and note Saturn, the planet of duty and boundaries and hard work on 2 of the cusps of the 4 important arms of the central cross in the chart: the Ascendant and the Midheaven. There is relatively little conflict in her ability to be dutiful, to live a long life of duty. If the chart were different, it would be a different queen.
I was also comparing the charts of different mediums to see how the information they delivered lined up with the sort of people they were in life. Jane Roberts is interesting as her birth time is secure so her chart is as correct as it can be. Her chart and her biography shed light on the Seth books.
The same can be said of Helen Shucman who scribed the Course in Miracles. As a psychologist she could see herself clearly alongside her role – privately this conflict was agonizing for her. Her short autobiography is well worth a read and is delivered as a PDF on the ACIM website.
Edgar Cayce worked hard all his life to freely give readings, mostly of a medical nature to those who were in need. Here is his chart with a 'probably' correct time of birth. There is a half hour biography video available on You Tube.
A little biography together with some ability to read the birth chart allows us to better understand the people who interest us and to help identify the ego as well as the more authentic self.

A new development is proposed near the intersection of Interstate 25 and Plum Creek Parkway. Town Council in 2016 voted 5-2 to approve a finance agreement with the project's developer to help remediate the old landfill on the property and fund necessary public infrastructure.
View a fact sheet about the proposed development and the finance agreement Town Council approved. Additionally, a fact sheet is available about the landfill remediation, which is occurring from September through December 2018. Also available is a study by Economic & Planning Systems Inc., which the Town commissioned to determine the need for the proposed financial agreement.
Citadel Development LLC proposes a new 65-acre development on an area known as Miller's Landing – located on the northwest corner of I-25 and Plum Creek Parkway, near Philip S. Miller Park. Citadel's development plan includes office, retail, a hotel and more.
While zoned for commercial use, the land area has traditionally been undesirable to developers due to the necessary remediation of the old dump. Castle Rock Urban Renewal Authority – an entity that exists to facilitate investment and redevelopment in challenging areas within Town – recently deemed this areas as blighted, which allows for additional tax-sharing to clean up the property and foster economic development.
Town Council approved a financial agreement that includes sharing back 60 percent of the sales and 100 percent of the property tax generated from new amenities on the property. The agreement does not include allocation of any current Town funds. Instead, the Town would be sharing future revenue generated by a new project.
