World Statistics Day 2015
2015 Theme: "Better data, better lives"
The second World Statistics Day falls on October 20. This year's theme emphasizes the critical role of high-quality official statistical information in analysis and informed policy decision-making in support of sustainable development. It also reflects the importance of sustainable national statistical capacity to produce reliable and timely statistics and indicators measuring a country's progress.
The UN General Assembly decided with resolution 69/282 to celebrate the day every five years from now on to strengthen public awareness of the important work that national statisticians carry out throughout the year.. Through collecting accurate, timely, and comparable data, the national statistical offices worldwide support a wide range of national and international activities, including development efforts that improve the lives of the poor and the vulnerable.
The Assembly also noted that 2015 marks the bicentenary of the birth of George Boole, whose work on the application of the principles of logic as a form of algebra underpins modern computer science.
The first World Statistics Day was celebrated on 20th October 2010, as decided in resolution 64/267, and was deemed an overwhelming success, with activities organized in more than 130 Member States and by at least 40 international and regional organizations and entities.The Department of Census and Statistics of Sri Lanka also celebrated this under the theme "Celebrating the many achievements of Official Statistics".
Sri Lanka's World Statistics Day 2015 programme includes many events targeted at increasing awareness about official statistics amongst various user groups. The event "WSD forum 2015" will be held on 20th October 2015 at JAIC Hilton Hotel Colombo with the participation of Niroshan Perera, State Minister of National Policy & Economic Development, as the Chief Guest.
Special messages to mark WSD 2015 were issued by the President Maithripala Sirisena, Prime Minister Ranil Wickramasinghe & State Minister of National Policies & Economic Development Niroshan Perera.

Charity appeals for descendants of earliest children's home residents
By Rosemary Collins, 2 April 2019 - 3:41pm
Action for Children has released photographs of children in Victorian homes as part of a nationwide search for their descendants

If your Victorian ancestor grew up in one of Britain's earliest children's homes, charity Action for Children wants to hear from you.
The children's charity is celebrating its 150th anniversary by marking the lives of the first children it cared for, and looking for their descendants.
Trace your ancestors in orphanages and children's homes with our guide to the top websites for family historians
Action for Children was founded in 1869 under the name National Children's Homes to provide care for children who were orphaned or abandoned, or whose families were too poor to care for them.
The charity has already tracked down Lance Richardson (60) from Coventry.
His great aunt Emily 'Emmie' Rhymes was admitted to the Princess Alice Orphanage in Warwickshire in 1898, aged 8, along with her sister Lillie.
Lance said: "To hear exactly when the girls arrived and left the home and the skills they learnt to help prepare them for life outside has been a real voyage of discovery."
Carol Iddon, Action for Children's managing director of services, said: "This search is a reminder of how far we've come when it comes to helping the most vulnerable in society, but also how far we still have to go to make sure children today have a safe and stable future."
To help with the search, Action for Children has released a gallery of photographs from its archives, showing children in the first homes playing and learning skills.
If you recognise anyone from these images, or you know of an ancestor who was in a home run by the National Children's Homes, please email 150@actionforchildren.org.uk.

Finding Your Own Way
A Poetry Boom 1990-2010 , Andrew Duncan (329pp, Shearsman)
The Rottweiler's Guide to the Dog Owner, S J Fowler
(108pp, £12.99, Eyewear)
Dear World and Everyone in it ed. Nathan Hamilton
(336pp, £12.00, Bloodaxe)
Duncan's often oblique commentaries on the British Poetry Scene are welcome diversions from the more usual kinds of literary criticism on offer. In the introduction he manages to include a surprising note on the longevity (in the memory) of the pop hit Sugar, Sugar by The Archies and follows this through in a later chapter with perceptions on Folk Music, both topics which in his view are tangentially related to aspects of the contemporary poetry scene. There are early chapters here on a raft of new anthologies - he's very good on Identity Parade, for example, pointing out its strengths (in terms of the inclusion of poets such as Helen Macdonald, Peter Manson and D.S. Marriott, for example) as well as its weaknesses, a positive factor which most critics seem to have ignored. He comes to other unexpected conclusions and his compelling advocacy of Clare Pollard's later poetry makes me think I ought to take another look.
There's a whole chapter on the work of Andrew Jordan, both as poet and theoretician of 'nonism', which includes a wonderfully satirical opening written as a satire of Jordan's own style and content, itself intended satirically one thinks. He manages the astonishing dialectical feat of concluding that Jordan is 'a genuine malcontent' and that his poetry is 'full of bad feelings and doesn't take you anywhere', while having a genuine appreciation of what is undoubtedly Jordan's great achievement, notably his last book Hegemonic, a powerful mix of politics and landscape poetry which nevertheless probably has its tongue firmly in its cheek. After this episode and Alan Morrison's spectacular epic exploration of Jordan's work in his online magazine The Recusant, Jordan can hardly claim that he's being ignored. Duncan's perceptions here are related to what he sees as the 'failures of the left' and so Jordan's hanging onto notions of alienation are perhaps as symptomatic of a generation as they are of an individual, a position I'm not entirely unsympathetic towards. I think that Duncan is too hard on John Berger however, reducing his output to that of polemicist. I agree that Ways of Seeing was a polemical account of art history, allied to a highly watchable TV series, itself a response to Kenneth Clarke's Civilisation, but his other reflections on painting are often more personal and include aesthetic appreciation within the political approach.
Elsewhere Duncan is good on Sean Bonney, again providing an analysis of Bonney's work as being essentially intuitive and emotional in its political responses (to Blair and Iraq, for example) while also acknowledging an intellectual element to the argument. Bonney, in fact, seems highly unusual to me in this mix of intuition and intellect, a sort of Barry MacSweeney with a Phd, as I think I've said before. Duncan is good on other political poets working within academia eg: D.S. Marriott and Jeff Hilson and also has useful things to say about Elizabeth Bletsoe's work. Someone he isn't so good on and who I think he massively underestimates is Robert Sheppard. He describes Sheppard's huge project, Twentieth Century Blues (a project similar in some ways to both the work of Lopez and Goodland) as being 'thoroughly unsuccessful, overheated, loud and repetitive'. He's not too keen on Sheppard's critical work either so I'm wondering if there isn't some sort of 'personality clash' going on here. Sheppard's wonderful collection Warrant Error is for me proof that it's still possible to write political poetry at all and political poetry at that which combines both an emotional response with a tight formalist quality which contains and 'skews' the anger. Reason and emotion in perfect balance I'd say, in a book which really makes the grade. I haven't read all of Twentieth Century Blues (a vast project) but I've been impressed with what I have read and also find Sheppard to be a useful and perceptive critic.
There's an intriguing chapter which deals primarily with the work of Tony Lopez and Giles Goodland, which gives a sound background to their joint projects of montage and working with found materials, while also investigating the quality and outcome of these Monumentally Formalist procedures. With Goodland he works primarily with Capital and A Spy in the House of Years, though there is an interesting aside on the earlier Littoral (1996), a much under-rated book in my estimation, as Duncan now seems to agree. A Spy in the House of Years still seems to me to be Goodland's masterpiece and one which anyone working in this field really needs to take a look at. Its procedure of making a poem per page for every year of the 20th century, working with a variety of found materials, each page utilising work from the year at issue, throws up a whole host of questions and uncertainties about the changing nature of language, and remains a milestone. Duncan is exceptionally good on Lopez's recent and magisterially large collection Only More So, a book I have to admit to having
struggled with, and in a largely positive overview he combines appreciation with explanation and persuasive interpretation.
There's much more of interest here, especially in Duncan's unsurprisingly overwhelmed attempts at dealing with 'the contemporary poetry scene' in all its vast multiplicity and also the usual frustrations entailed when 'confronting' his critical mind. There is a lot of jumping about, connections which are stimulating but prove to be more like disconnections when you think them through and ideas which either don't add up or which I'm not bright enough to master. That said, I still find him one of the most probing and intelligent critics on the poetry scene and one who is probably indispensable if you're someone who is hungry to find out what's going on. This is his most 'up-to-date' book so far, bringing us directly to the here and now and I think he makes a pretty good stab at describing the scene. Dip in and go with the flow.
The following 'cameo' from 'meditations on Strong tea (for Val and Tom Raworth)' provides a useful introduction to the often quirky and witty poetry of SJ Fowler, a poet who I've only recently discovered. The homage to Raworth is unsurprising as Fowler shares something of the quick-movement comedy so evident in Raworth's work, as well as a political (small p) focus which comes through in his engagement with the minutia of everyday living that also includes 'the bigger issues'.
my tea is
admirably
will it run the risk
of being misunderstood?
Later in the same section we have this:
I bring you seaweed
and yet, you just want teaÉ
this will not work out
migrant labourers died for this day
I am a cup, a hand, a liquid
the first in order, the last to run
my wire lined servants suit
I am butler to fools
If you wish you can expand outwards from this 'brief encapsulation' as there's a whole history implied in these few snippets and you can also have a lot of fun working with the individual lines as they play against each other. So there is critique here as well as aesthetic judgement but it's all presented in a sort of throwaway immediacy which feels very democratic and open, even where the writing is puzzling and strange, as it often is. Fowler's poetry is filled with such moments and I'm sure I'm going to revisit this book as well as look out for new material. There are longer poems and prose pieces here, such as 'Leaves' where the writing seems to meander around a 'given subject' pulling in material from a host of sources while playing with language in a manner which can appear abrupt as well as at times, shocking. He also has a good eye for the 'arresting opening', as in - 'were it not for the spines/would it not be a fish backwards' (from 'Leaves') and although his writing can seem to 'resist the reader' at times, you always feel impelled to continue reading because his work is filled with interest. He may be wayward, but this is subversive poetry that I feel very attracted towards. This is a short review and not in any way comprehensive but I can highly recommend this book which I was very pleased to happen upon.
There have been several recent poetry anthologies attempting to map the contours of contemporary poetry practice and these have inevitably concentrated on the emergence of younger writers. This new collection from Bloodaxe takes a snapshot of the work of over sixty poets and attempts in so doing to give us some idea - inevitably a partial scanning - of what things are looking like in the early part of the twenty first century. Some of the names here are familiar to me and many more are not and I'm not able to produce any sort of substantial overview in a short review but a few things become clear quite quickly. One is that this is in no way a 'definitive' anthology, the 'scene' is fractured and atomised and any number of potential anthologies could come up with very different pictures although we would hope for some overlap which might suggest an agreed notion of quality and difference. It's also quickly clear that a majority of writers included here have M.A.'s or Phd's or are studying for such, mainly but not entirely within the 'Creative Writing/Literary practice' sector and that there is almost a 'business model' for these courses which suggests a 'career path' which is largely illusory, although a number of these writers will become or already are academics working within the 'industry'. I'm not making a judgement here, just trying to suggest how the wind is blowing and how this effects what gets published and to some extent the poetry that gets written. The other point I'm hovering over is my reaction on reading this work to a 'general perception' that any notion of political poetry is redundant, as the work of Keston Sutherland, Chris McCabe, Hannah Silva, Stuart Calton and Luke Kennard, among others, would appear, in their various ways, to refute such a suggestion. The starting point for this anthology seems to have been the 'Younger Poets' section which featured over two issues of The Rialto a while ago and certainly led to some unusual inclusions in such a high-profile magazine
This said I enjoyed Amy De'ath's disturbing mix of 'fun and serious', as in 'Just Handcuff Me', and Stephen Emmerson's 'The Causeway', where - 'Everything is made out of papier-mache' which leaves a bad taste in the cat's/mouth and I really must stop biting my nails'. Holly Pester's sound poetry has me in stitches though it's not so easy to represent this 'on the page' and you really need to hear her work read out, while Tom Chivers' 'Security' has an easygoing tone which belies a dreamy hopefulness which merges into critique - 'on my island none of this would be true'.
Sandeep Parmar's poetry has a lyrical resonance which also packs a punch and mixes the traditional with the modern in a manner which combines music with focus -
'He who has not strode the full length of age, has counted/then lost count of days that swallow, like fever, dark chaos.' S. J. Fowler's various experimentalisms combine chance methods with an underlying 'dark vision' while Sophie Robinson's poetry has a conversational 'ongoingness' which pulls in different vocabularies and is both personal and more general, combining gritty lyricism with critical intelligence. Ben Borek's 'Lavender' has a nightmare quality which seems to owe something to theatrical scenarios and manages to combine absurd humour with melodrama: - 'Should I strike her,/kill her dead? My brother/will cut off her hands./Who will not/change a raven for a dove?
Mendoza's 'Signs for Notation' is an intriguing sequence, combining different 'vocabularies' with an analytical seriousness and this is among the most penetrating and intelligent work in the anthology in my view:
A feeling of effort
Remember this. a sensation of arm telling the word.
Remember this. Two figures. One stands illuminated in the open
doorway. obscured by shadow he writes the other
supposing the self.
Remember this. An awareness of self
contingent on memory
rapidly forgetting
(from 'Signs of Notation')
Hannah Silva is one of the best performers on the circuit and her work often combines sound poetry and montaged juxtaposition with a sense of political displacement and anger. Take this extract for example:
I am not going to tell you my name, Gaddafi but I am
going to tell you my age, Gaddafi my age is ten
Gaddafi and I am going to tell you about a game
Gaddafi a game that I play, Gaddafi I play with my
friends, Gaddafi you can play it alone, Gaddafi
or play it with friends, Gaddafi.
(from 'Gaddafi Gaddafi Gaddaf)
For my money Chris McCabe is the most accomplished male poet currently producing work in Britain. (Talk about nailing your colours to the mast!). His reworking here of dramatic classics has a mixture of the old and the new which is quite shocking at times and yet he has his finger firmly on the pulse, having a strong sense of literary history while also being very much in the here and now. This is fabulous work:
I have a real toy sword but am in the wrong play
strung for a woman who circulates like oil whorled
with rubber and roses a bonnibell, the text said a
soft and buxom widow to this live skeleton
rattled with libido
(from 'The Alchemist')
Other names to look out for are Emily Critchley, Marianne Morris, Keston Sutherland, Luke Kennard and Emily Berry but I'm sure you'll find your own way through this multifarious collection. You won't struggle too hard to find stimulation here even if you end up even more confused than before.

Le relazioni tra Azerbaigian e Georgia si riferiscono ai rapporti diplomatici ed esteri tra i due paesi. L'Azerbaigian ha un'ambasciata a Tbilisi e la Georgia ha un'ambasciata a Baku. Entrambi i paesi sono ex repubbliche dell'Unione Sovietica e sono membri a pieno titolo del Consiglio d'Europa, dell'Organizzazione per la sicurezza e la cooperazione in Europa (OSCE) e dell'Organizzazione della cooperazione economica del Mar Nero (BSEC). I due paesi sono tra i membri fondatori del GUAM.

L'ex presidente georgiano Mikheil Saakashvili ha descritto le relazioni bilaterali con la frase "chiunque si opponga all'Azerbaigian o alla Georgia è un nemico di entrambi i nostri paesi".

Antefatti
Secondo un censimento del 2002 ci sono 284.761 azeri in Georgia e rappresentano la più grande minoranza della Georgia comprendendo il 6,5% della popolazione georgiana principalmente a Kvemo Kartli, Kakheti, Shida Kartli e Mtskheta-Mtianeti. C'è anche una grande comunità azera nella capitale Tbilisi. La minoranza georgiana in Azerbaigian è meno numerosa e sono conosciuti come Ingiloy.

Storia
La Georgia e l'Azerbaigian hanno mantenuto relazioni cordiali sin dalla prima istituzione delle loro repubbliche indipendenti nel 1918. Il 16 giugno 1919, la Repubblica Democratica di Azerbaigian e la Repubblica Democratica di Georgia firmarono un primo trattato difensivo contro le truppe bianche dell'Esercito Volontario del Generale Anton Denikin, che minacciavano di iniziare un'offensiva ai loro confini. Nonostante la disputa territoriale sul distretto di Zaqatala e le preoccupazioni della Georgia per il sostegno dell'Azerbaigian alla breve Repubblica del Caucaso sud-occidentale, i due paesi mantennero relazioni pacifiche negli anni caotici della guerra civile russa. Quando l'Azerbaigian fu occupato dalle forze bolsceviche nell'aprile 1920, diversi membri dell'élite politica azera si trasferirono in Georgia, anch'essa caduta in mano ai sovietici che avanzarono all'inizio del 1921. Entrambi gli stati divennero repubbliche dell'URSS nel 1922 e mantennero buoni rapporti.

Nel 1991, sia l'Azerbaigian che la Georgia hanno ripristinato la loro indipendenza e le reciproche relazioni diplomatiche sono state stabilite il 18 novembre 1992. Nel tentativo di bilanciare gli interessi regionali, il 10 ottobre 1997, l'Azerbaigian e la Georgia sono diventati due dei quattro membri fondatori del Guam Organizzazione per la Democrazia e lo Sviluppo Economico. I paesi cooperano ampiamente nello sviluppo energetico regionale, nei trasporti e nei progetti di partenariato economico come il l'oleodotto Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan, la ferrovia Kars-Tbilisi-Baku, il TRACECA, il BSEC. L'alleanza regionale militare e di sicurezza della Georgia e dell'Azerbaigian si sviluppa lungo il Programma di partenariato per la pace della NATO e la protezione comune del gasdotto Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan con la Turchia.

Energia
La Georgia, sotto Zviad Gamsakhurdia, ha firmato un accordo di cooperazione con l'Azerbaigian per quanto riguarda la sfera economica, scientifica, tecnica e culturale nel dicembre 1990. Nel febbraio 1993, la Georgia sotto Shevardnadze, ha concluso un trattato di ampia portata di amicizia, cooperazione e relazioni reciproche con l'Azerbaigian, compreso un accordo di sicurezza reciproca e assicurazioni che la Georgia non avrebbe riesportato petrolio o gas naturale azero in Armenia. Nel 1993, l'Azerbaigian ha tentato di esercitare pressioni sulla Georgia affinché si unisse al blocco contro l'Armenia durante la prima guerra del Nagorno-Karabakh, ma senza successo.

I due paesi sono collegati da diversi importanti progetti regionali, tra cui gli oleodotti "Baku-Supsa e "Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan" e il gasdotto "Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum". Le due nazioni stanno anche lavorando alla ferrovia "Baku-Tbilisi-Kars" che le collegherebbe all'Europa. L'Azerbaigian è anche uno dei partner commerciali più importanti della Georgia.

Commercio
Le esportazioni georgiane in Azerbaigian includono cemento, locomotive e altri veicoli ferroviari, fertilizzanti minerali e chimici, acque minerali, bevande forti, articoli in vetro e prodotti farmaceutici, tra le altre cose. Le esportazioni azere in Georgia includono petrolio e prodotti petroliferi, gas naturale, articoli in plastica, rifiuti alimentari, mobili e costruzioni edili.

Confine
Nonostante le buone relazioni nel settore energetico, il confine georgiano-azero deve ancora essere chiarito. Particolarmente controverso è il complesso del monastero georgiano di David Gareja, diviso tra i due paesi. Giorgi Manjgaladze, viceministro degli esteri della Georgia, ha proposto che la Georgia sarebbe disposta a scambiare altro territorio per la restante parte di David Gareja in ragione del suo significato storico e culturale per i georgiani. Baku disapprova questo scambio di terre a causa dell'importanza militare strategica di David Gareja. Nell'aprile 2007, il vice ministro degli Esteri dell'Azerbaigian Khalaf Khalafov ha osservato che il monastero "ospitava gli albanesi caucasici, che si ritiene siano stati i primi abitanti dell'Azerbaigian". In risposta, il ministro degli esteri georgiano Gela Bezhuashvili ha affermato che le lezioni di storia di Khalafov sono "assolutamente incomprensibili" e che "dovrebbe documentarsi sulla storia del mondo".

Nei loro recenti commenti, i funzionari azeri hanno confermato che l'Azerbaigian "è aperto alla realizzazione di progetti congiunti con la Georgia per il restauro del complesso". Tuttavia, i suggerimenti ufficiali secondo cui il complesso potrebbe essere una "zona turistica condivisa" hanno suscitato l'indignazione dell'opinione pubblica georgiana. Il Catholicos-Patriarca di tutta la Georgia Ilia II ha affermato che "il monastero era un santuario sacro che dovrebbe trovarsi interamente sul suolo georgiano". L'ex presidente georgiano Mikheil Saakashvili ha minimizzato la controversia e ha affermato che "può essere risolta attraverso un dialogo amichevole".

Controversie
Sebbene l'Azerbaigian e la Georgia siano riusciti a costruire relazioni amichevoli, si sono anche occasionalmente presentate alcune dispute. Una delle situazioni controverse etichettate come scandalo calcistico si è verificata durante l'andata di una partita di qualificazione alla UEFA Europa League tra la Dinamo locale contro il Qəbələ a Tbilisi il 2 luglio 2015 e ha rappresentato una seria minaccia per le relazioni azero-georgiane. L'incidente peggiore e più grave è avvenuto durante la partita stessa quando un gruppo di tifosi georgiani ha appeso un poster con il seguente testo: "Ricordiamo Zagatala e Kakh. 1921" rivendicando due province storiche dell'Azerbaigian. Il poster è stato portato via dopo gli sforzi dei funzionari UEFA. Subito dopo quell'episodio, la direzione della Dinamo Tbilisi ha rilasciato una dichiarazione di condanna per l'incidente prendendo le distanze dai teppisti del calcio. La reazione immediata all'incidente è arrivata anche dagli alti funzionari. "La relazione strategica con il governo e il popolo azero è molto importante per la Georgia. In qualità di capo del governo georgiano, dichiaro risolutamente che a nessuno, con azioni così provocatorie, sarà permesso di gettare un'ombra sulle relazioni con l'Azerbaigian", ha detto il primo ministro Irakli Garibashvili, il quale ha anche chiesto al ministero dell'Interno del paese di avviare un'indagine sul presunto incidente.

VLC media participant can not only convert between completely different video formats but it surely also does the identical with changing audio codecs. The reason people use a DVD ripper is normally to remove copyright safety in order that the films or files on the DVD will be performed on their laptop. DVD rippers also commonly allow customers to compress the information or change its format so the DVD information take up less room on their pc. You possibly can simply change encoding parameters similar to pattern frequency, bit rate, channels, and high quality in the converter. And it is also doable to set parameters to "identical as the unique file". If you want to enhance or lower volume of output file, it is easy as properly.

You may choose what pattern charge you need to use. 44.1 kHz (or 44100 Hz) is the sample price utilized by audio CDs. Lower than that and you'll begin to hear the loss in quality. The only explanation I can work out is that though iTunes is appropriate with hello-resolution audio information and may play them back bit-excellent, the settings within the "Import Settings" dialogue are far less encouraging. If I choose "WAV Encoder" and alter the "Automated" setting to "Custom," I am greeted with one more dialogue with three drop-down menus. Sample Price with choices solely as much as forty eight,000 kHz, Sample Measurement with options solely up to 16-bit(!) and Channels (mono or stereo). Yes, I meant convert from ALAC to other codecs.

There are many choices of changing AIFF to MP3, like using AIFF to MP3 converter or direct online changing. In contrast to the lossy MP3 format with round 1MB for every minute of audio recording, the AIFF file does not support information compression so the file dimension of the AIFF track often consumes the larger 10MB with lossless high quality, making it necessity to transform the AIFF to MP3 format for Mac or Home windows beneath sure situations, the compatibility subject for playback of AIFF audio on audio participant and systems is one more reason you want to convert sound tracks inaif tomp3 file.

Processing est un environnement principalement dédié à la création visuelle. Avant d'exposer plus en détail les différents paramètres des fichiers audio (comme la fréquence d'échantillonnage, la compression, le format, and so http://www.audio-transcoder.com/fr/how-to-...ff-files-to-mp3 on.), je désire vous parler d'une petite expérience dont j'ai été le cobaye lors d'une soirée organisée par mon revendeur Mac et Audio favori et qui nous servira de base dans le développement de mes articles. Les conseils ci-dessous montrent à juste titre comment convertir des fichiers au format AIFF MP3 audios avec l'AIFF puissante au logiciel de convertisseur MP3 pour Mac et Windows vous voulez convertir vos fichiers audio AIFF en MP3 pour une meilleure lecture sur vos appareils, alors lisez la suite de la answer correspondant ci-dessous pour rendre la tâche maintenant!Il est assez facile. On mesure le hole en volume d'informations et en puissance de calcul entre un fichier qualité CD et un fichier haute définition. Ce format est à choisir si vous comptez gérer vos musiques avec iTunes ou les écouter avec un iPhone, un iPod contact ou un iPad, ou bien les streamer vers un récepteur AirPlay. Le Flac est le nouveau customary de musique dématérialisée en 2014 et bien après. Le fichier PCM non compressé, appelé à tort WAV, (puisque le PCM est un fichier inclus dans l'enveloppe WAV) riche de toutes ses données est donc un fichier relativement lourd et d'assez bonne qualité. L'assistant de 01net propose aussi d'installer des utilitaires ou des offres commerciales, vérifiés par nos soins, en possibility. Ce logiciel est payant (un peu plus de 50 €) et suggest http://www.audio-transcoder.com/fr/how-to-...ff-files-to-mp3 des fonctionnalités intéressantes : vous pouvez jouer notamment sur la qualité du son grâce à un équaliseur, programmer la mise en route d'un enregistrement. Mais dans l'absolu, pour encoder un fichier enalac depuis unflac, le système va d'abord décoder leflac et devrait donc conserver correctement le son.
The principle motive for utilizing FLAC is that it is an open-source format that may be simply integrated inside any software program software. With this operate, it becomes easier to cut FLAC file to a smaller one, merge a ton of FLAC recordsdata into a giant one, split FLAC file by chapter, increase or decrease the volume of FLAC recordsdata, change FLAC file's channels and pattern price, and extract FLAC audio file from video information like MP4, AVI, MOV, WMV, MKV, FLV, ASF, DivX, MXF, MVI, OGM, WebM, H.264, RM, RMVB, and many others. That is much like how Zip works, besides with FLAC you will get a lot better compression as a result of it's designed particularly for audio, and you may play again compressed FLAC recordsdata in your favourite player flac2mp3 converter windows (or your car or house stereo, see supported gadgets ) similar to you'd an MP3 file. You'll be able to select to convert one FLAC audio file or multiple information to MP3 in batch at a time freely. It could copy & save audio tags from the supply FLAC information to the destination MP3 information (ID3v1/ID3v2/APE/Ogg/FLAC tags supported). I additionally discovered Zamzar's conversion time slow when in comparison with other online audio converter services. It's a critically acclaimed application WALTR 2 , whose superpower is to put convert flac to mp3 any sort of media files (videos, music, ringtones) onto your iPhone no iTunes required. Should you solely have a number of FLAC songs that have to be converted to MP3, on-line FALC to MP3 converting tool will also be a good selection for you. I needed to download winamp and theflac addon and install the most recent version of iTunes but converter theflacs to mp3 files labored completely. Using the identical approach you can break up FLAC (image .cue) to FLAC tracks (tracks .cue) or convert FLAC to ALAC (Apple Lossless) as well as to other audio formats. You'll be able to play the file now if you want as FLAC is natively supported by Foobar 2000. It's quicker, it's more dependable, it makes your iPhone play FLAC music natively!

1. What's the process for an employer sponsoring me for an H-1B?
When an employer sponsors employees for H-1B, our office can prepare the necessary forms for submission to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services ("USCIS") along with your supporting documentation. You will need to have a job offer or signed contract from the employer and proof that you have obtained at least a Bachelor's degree or the foreign equivalent. Additionally, you will have to set an appointment with our office to retain The Law Office of Kenneth G. Wincorn & Associates, P.C. .
2. What documents do you need from me to start the process?
The Law Office of Kenneth G. Wincorn & Associates, P.C. has a standard list of documents that we require for an H-1B application. Please refer to that list for the documents needed by our firm.
3. How long does it take to get an H-1B approval notice?
USCIS processing times vary based on how many applications they receive at any given time. H-1B petitions for companies located in Texas are filed with the Vermont Service Center ("VSC"). An initial H-1B petition can take anywhere between 60 to 180 days to receive a decision.
USCIS will also expedite a petition for an additional $1000. This guarantees that they will review the case, but does not guarantee a favorable decision, within 15 calendar days. This would be necessary in cases where the petition will not be approved under the normal processing before the of employment or when a employee needs to travel (see below).
4. How does this affect my ability to travel?
This depends on what your current immigration status is. Any H-1B applicant who already holds H-1B status will be able to travel as long as they have an unexpired visa in their passport when they return to the U.S. A beneficiary who is changing to H-1B from another status such as B-1 or F-1 should not leave the U.S. before the petition is approved because USCIS will consider the petition abandoned. Travel after the H-1B approval is permitted as long as you apply for a new visa before reentering the U.S.
5. Can I file for my spouse and children?
Yes. Your spouse and children are eligible for H-4 status while you are in H-1B status. This can be done in one of two ways. The Law Office of Kenneth G. Wincorn & Associates, P.C. will file an application for them along with the H-1B petition if they currently reside in the U.S. in valid status. Alternatively, they may receive H-4 status after presenting the H-1B approval and supporting documents to the U.S. consulate or embassy in your home country when they apply for a visa in their passport. They will then entering the U.S. and will be issued an I-94 card that indicates their H-4 status.
6. Can my spouse work in H-4 status?
No. H-4 is not a work authorized status. Your spouse must have valid work authorization in order to avoid violating H-4 status. This could cause problems in the future if your spouse or dependents ever need to change status.
7. How long does is the H-1B valid?
The regulations allow for an initial 6 year period of H-1B status granted in 3 year increments. At the end of the first three year period, your employer may file an H-1B extension for an additional 3 years. USCIS allows the initial 6 year period to be extended if you have reached the labor certification or immigrant visa stage under specific circumstances.
8. How does this process work with the "green card" or citizenship process?
The H-1B status is a temporary and is classified as a "nonimmigrant" status by USCIS. An employer may chose to sponsor an employee for the immigrant visa or to obtain permanent residence or lawful permanent residence ("LPR") status. You must be an LPR for 5 years (3 years of filing based on relationship to a U.S. citizen) before you can apply for U.S. citizenship.
An employer's personnel policy will determine whether they are willing to sponsor you for permanent residence. Sponsorship for H-1B does not guarantee that a district will offer to sponsor an employee for permanent residence.
We look forward to assisting you in this process. Please contact Kenneth G. The Law Office of Kenneth G. Wincorn & Associates, P.C. P.C at 214-630-1221 and schedule an appointment with either Kate Brady, our Dallas immigration attorney, Yu-Ling Davis, our senior paralegal, or Yong Chong, legal assistant.

The Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: B&B Deaths Leaked – See Which Characters Are Killed Off
BY Heather Hughes on May 16, 2019 | Comments: 3 comments
Related : Soap Opera, Spoiler, Television, The Bold and the Beautiful
The Bold and the Beautiful (B&B) spoilers tease that as the baby switch story heats up, not every character will make it out alive! B&B has a handful of secret-keepers and will gain more as time goes on. However, some of them won't get a chance to come clean. In fact, one or more may be targeted because of what they know.
Bradley Bell, The Bold and the Beautiful's head writer and executive producer, hinted at some deadly outcomes in a recent interview with Michael Fairman. He talked about villains emerging and insisted "we're going to have people dying," so it doesn't get any clearer than that. In that comment, Bell confirmed there would be multiple deaths. People means at least two, but there could be more.
Let's talk about some likely fatalities based on what we know and who's dispensable. For starters, there's Xander Avant (Adain Bradley). He's on the verge of finding out what Zoe Buckingham (Kiara Barnes) is hiding. Unlike Zoe and the others in her secret circle, Xander may plan to tell the truth. He might serve as the voice of reason and declare that this ends now.
Xander is likable, so it's not exactly bothersome to have him around. However, is he really anyone's favorite? Does Xander add much of anything to the canvas? This character feels unnecessary, so he might be a good one to ax.
We could get an emotional punch since Xander is Maya Avant's (Karla Mosley) cousin and Zoe Buckingham's (Kiara Barnes) boyfriend, but we wouldn't have to watch major mourning. That's the ideal death if you ask us. Shauna Fulton (Denise Richards) isn't off her rocker, but she could go there if need be. She seems like the kind of gal who does whatever she has to do – even if it's violent.
The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers say Zoe could also be at risk. Her death would add an interesting layer of drama. It's easy to imagine Dr. Reese Buckingham (Wayne Brady) being so overcome with emotion that he felt the need to confess. Losing a daughter could make Reese determined to give Hope Spencer (Annika Noelle) her own daughter back.
Of course, that could put Reese in danger himself! Wayne Brady has already conquered his mission to appear on The Bold and the Beautiful, so maybe they'll write Reese out permanently. Could he try to confess and lose his life?
Denise Richards was also a pretty big name for B&B to get. If she has other projects to tackle down the road, killing Shauna off would be an easy exit. Florence "Flo" Fulton (Katrina Bowden) is probably the least likely option, but we can't rule her out either. It's wise to keep an eye on all secret club members and anyone else who might join.
Based on Bell's statement, at least a couple of these characters should die at some point. The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers say the show may use this as a shocking obstacle. Just before "Phoebe Forrester" (Isabella de Armas and Rosalind Aune) is revealed as Beth Spencer, death could strike!
The Bold and the Beautiful fans won't want to miss what's in store. We'll give you updates as other B&B news comes in. Stay tuned to the CBS soap and don't forget to check CDL often for the latest Bold and the Beautiful spoilers, updates, and news.

Done, done, and done. I don't know why I'm writing about Campbell now, particularly, except that his name, or the filthy story-telling laws that have become his legacy, have cropped up in a few different locations over the last few weeks, and I think it's about time that "The Heroes Journey" becomes the quaint, antiquated notion of a plot engine that it was always destined to be.
He was refreshingly valuable at one point, of course — much in the same way that Franz Boas was. (Franz Boas was history's Most Awesome Anthropologist; that's him on the right, doing a cannibal eagle dance.) There was a need in post-colonial anthropology to recognize that other cultures are not the product of incomprehensible alien mutants, but regular human beings who resolved their existential and moral questions in much the same way that everyone else does.
But Joseph Campbell (and James Frasier and Franz Boas) has already happened, as it were, and so there's no need to dwell on him. And, of course, it's not the social sciences that do, but the arts — the writers and the theater practitioners & such, because the arts are always about ten or fifteen years behind basic science. Somehow, the idea of a cultural archetype, of a universal "super-story" from which all other stories are derived, has become fascinating to actors and writers and directors, and it's about time we ditched it.
See, the most important element of Campbell's work is that it's not proscriptive, be descriptive. You can't measure the quality of a story by comparing it to some Campbellian ideal of mythic purity; you can't, in fact, even use it as the groundwork for a story — the more firmly you try and base your story in that mythic ideal, the more generic your story ends up looking. Because that's exactly what "universal" means: generic. The appeal of seeing a story that is clearly the "Hero's Journey" is not the statement that it makes intellectually or morally, not the questions it raises, not anything like that — it is the basic pleasure of seeing something that you recognize. Pleasure of Recognition is the easiest, cheapest, and most boring method of provoking a response in an audience; it's the same motive force behind all those Scary Movie shitfests. It's a fairly useless way to write anything, because it guarantees that you won't depart from the generic.
Ostensibly, most of this is not Campbell's fault, and I only blame him personally (and hate him, personally) because it pleases me to do so; the fault lies in the people who've taken the Hero's Journey and tried to use it as some kind of manual for storytelling. It's not; it's a lousy way to go about it.
I have, by way of example, a friend who'd written a play, and he and I were discussing it at some length. In particular, the discussion focused on a particular character, and whether or not that character ought to be included in the final draft — his answer for it was essentially that "rival characters" appear in the mythic archetype, and therefore a "rival character" needs to appear in his play. There is no circumstance that should ever yield this conclusion; it is only the wild misuse of Campbell's research that causes it.
The fact is this: Campbell was either mostly right, or mostly wrong. If he was mostly wrong, then we don't need to talk about him at all, fine, we're done. If he was mostly right, we STILL don't ever need to talk about him, or measure our work according to his laws — his essential premise is that because human beings are broadly similar physiologically and neurologically, then their cultures will be broadly similar, and their stories will be broadly similar. Those similarities are built-in on a basic, inextricable level. You don't have to actively try and make your work conform to the Hero Archetype, you see, because whatever you write, you won't be able to help it.
In other words, Campbell's conclusions are all fairly useless. It's like saying, "Have you ever noticed that everyone tells stories with WORDS?" Yeah, great job, Joe. Now that we've gotten that crap out of the way, could you maybe come up with some means to help me make this story a specific, individual work? "Have you ever noticed that everyone that writes a story down uses their HANDS?" Thanks. Something, maybe, about how to make this story one that by its nature must be written, because it is distinct from those works to which it is similar? Oh, you think I should just ignore you and do it myself?
Thank you for this! I too love Franz Boas and this reminded me of a sadly unfinished paper I worked on long ago about Katherine Dunham and Zora Neale Hurston as anthropologists.
You forgot to blame him for George Lucas.
I actually do enjoy playing with the "archetypal hero" myth from time to time in fiction, but it's just that: playing. Campbell's theories get taken far too seriously, if you ask me.
You know who else always used "rival characters" in drama, though? Shakespeare. So your playwright friend's foundation actually goes beyond and before Campbell. So does the foundation of much Western drama. I'm not sure Campbell (who meant a lot to me when I was younger, although he's proven to be, like Kerouac or Salinger, the kind of literary influence I outgrow) entirely to blame for crystallizing an extant set of tropes into something like a storytelling system.
I think, actually, that while many authors may be guilty of creating a set of extant tropes (though I don't think that's fairly a thing to be guilty of) Campbell is entirely to blame for crystallizing it, and for planting the idea that the closer we hew to that pure set of tropes, the better.
I just want to be clear, in case my nameless friend happens to drop buy (or, by SCIENTIFIC DEDUCTION, one of you figures out to whom I am referring)–his play is fantastic. I am serious about that; I love it, it's a great play. The particular element to which I'm referring is, I believe, a relatively minor sticking point, all things considered.
I agree Campbell's been overdone by many, myself included, as I realized quite recently, but the gem he left me with in this god forsaken age was the concept that we each have a singular journey to pursue; and to muster the courage to do that is the actual essence of 'the hero's journey'. Following Campbell , or anyone else, is of course a contradiction of what the man taught.
One of the things I love about blogs is this: they provoke a thought in my brain. When that happens, I feel as I must comment expecting it's beneficial to other people. Since there are various web logs with unique points of view, they question your comprehension. It is at these moments when you have fantastic insignt others might not have had, which include the blogger him/herself. I find myself coming back to to your blog site only because you have various brilliant insights and you happen to be at this a very long time, that is very exciting and tells me you know a lot. Keep provoking ideas in other people!

Land & Sea's Liquid Cooled Eddy-Current Absorber (brake) and Electronic Control kits offer an affordable way to build your own state-of-the-art, industrial-duty engine or chassis dynamometer. They are also ideal for restoring older DC or eddy-current dynamometers.
DYNOmite Liquid-Cooled Eddy-Current Absorber product overview. Note: Generic model – may include non-standard options.
DYNOmite Liquid-Cooled Eddy-Current Absorbers offer millisecond-response load control, very low rotating inertia, and compact high-specific load capacity. Compared to water-brake absorbers, they are especially well suited for applications that require plenty of low RPM torque capacity – as do many industrial-type engines. For applications which do not require motoring or stall-speed (zero RPM) loading, our liquid-cooled eddy-current absorbers offer more cost-effective loading than an equivalent-capacity AC absorber (motor) and drive can. For applications that demand higher RPM limits, lower system inertia, and continuous-duty (temperature independence) – water-cooled eddy-current absorbers are the ideal solution. See Specifications or Models and Prices pages.
We manufacture these absorbers as both single- and multi-rotor configurations, in a number of diameter (capacity) ranges. We cover your test needs for everything from tiny 20,000-RPM two strokes to 1,000-Hp diesels. Rotors are added to increase power capacity, without limiting peak RPM, while rotor diameter is increased for boosting low-RPM torque capacity. We completely manufacture these units in-house; machining and balancing their rotors, winding custom-voltage coils, and assembling the ideal rotor stackup – to best match your application's load curve. Their modular design also allows the possibility of upgrading system capacity – should your power requirements increase.
120-volt and 240-volt (input) power supply/ controls are available to provide 96- or 192-volt DC PWM (pulse width modulated) output – which is suitable for most of the DYNOmite or third-party liquid-cooled absorber models. Loading when using these controls is adjustable – both manually (using either its panel knob or the built-in 0-10 volt analog control input) or automatically via the (non-analog) PID-controlled leads from the DYNOmite data-acquisition computer. Panel circuit breakers are matched to the customer's application, protecting the absorber's windings.
Absorber coolant-flow monitoring is available via our optional differential-pressure switch kit. This switch will lockout coil current, if your test cell's water flow drops. Note that this protection is running totally independent of any other data-acquisition system, personal computer, or software alarms – for an added level of fail-safe security. Temperature-sensor ports are also provided – for monitoring the inlet and outlet water at the absorber.
Various shaft mounting choices are offered, including custom designs to your prints. The standard units may be supported between a pair of live high-speed pillow-block bearings. This allows reading the reaction torque via a load cell that is linked to the absorber's trunnioned frame. Our precision (keyless) ring couplers may be used for mating to driveshafts – via disc or U-joint style assemblies. For the elimination of parasitic bearing losses, non-rotating trunnion-bosses (or reaction-mount options) are both also offered, making it convenient to adapt the absorber housings to your dynamometer's engine stand, docking station frame, or reaction cradle/table. Sub- frames for mounting onto industrial T-slot bases are also available.
Custom hybrid configurations can also be designed using a combination of a smaller AC absorber (for very fast torque control and/or motoring) with a higher-capacity liquid-cooled eddy-current absorber. The eddy current inexpensively adds additional loading power capacity – compared to a similar capacity AC absorber alone. Control of the pair is handled via DYNO-MAX "Pro." While its complexity is typically only justified for some sophisticated high-output applications, hybrids make it possible to cost effectively build lower-inertia and faster-response dynamometers, with motoring capability, than can be done using any single technology alone.
High-speed ceramic spindle bearings and synthetic grease provide extra-long life for extended industrial or OEM endurance testing applications. These hybrid ceramic bearings are also immune to the extra-heat buildup which occurs when steel bearings are rotated within a magnetic field. Such eddy-loss heating will destroy conventional bearings in a relatively short period of time. Consequently, hybrid ceramic bearings are a standard feature in all of our DYNOmite liquid-cooled eddy-current absorbers units. Teflon lip seals are also used – to minimize wear of both the seals and the stainless- steel shafts that they run on. We combine all of this with high-speed synthetic Kluber Isofle NBU grease, to help ensure very-long service intervals.
Corrosion and thermal-expansion protection are designed in. All of the absorbers magnet-coolant passages (loss-plate labyrinths, covers, etc.) are ruggedly plated to prevent rusting and reduce insulating-scale buildup. This helps protect the absorber against overheating damage, efficiency losses, all while extending its uptime between maintenance cleanings. The heat-transferring loss-plate labyrinths are also engineered to avoid mechanical stresses, due to the differences in thermal expansion, between each plate and its mating cover. Such attention to detail results in longer life for each absorber's critical components.
Need parts for an older eddy-current dyno? As a manufacturer of eddy-current dyno absorbers, we can often repair otherwise obsolete units. Land & Sea does everything, from modernizing power supplies and/or controls to in-house winding of custom-size replacement coil magnets – for your (otherwise obsolete) "Brand-X dynosaur" system. Both square and round wire coils are available to over 40" in diameter. Call for a quote, or help, in repairing your existing dyno's hardware.
Tandem configurations double power capacity for heavy-duty applications, where a single (multi-rotor) absorber is still short on torque loading or power absorption. Though shafts and couplings are designed for triple-absorber loads.
Stainless-braided hoses with aircraft fittings combine flexibility, for minimizing torque-reading hysteresis, with high-pressure and high-flow capacity. They also last quite a long time and add a cleaner and more professional appearance to your test cell.
Call for immediate assistance in developing your own unique liquid eddy-current absorber (or hybrid AC motoring) testing solution – or e-mail [email protected] for a prompt response.


I don't have many Christmas traditions. I don't put up a tree or even hang a stocking. I barely buy gifts or send cards. I know I sound like a Grinch. But I am not. I like Christmas and the few traditions that I've managed to create are sacred. One of my holiday musts is bubbles at Pops for Champagne. Pops has been in business in Chicago for 30 years and according to their website "is the nations' most acclaimed champagne bar." This is a great place to hear live jazz, people watch and of course grab a few glasses of bubbles.
Yesterday, some friends joined my ritual. Our server recommended a blanc de noirs, Champagne Vadin- Plateau NV Les Oubliees' zero dosage, made of 100% pinot meunier. Note: (in case you didn't know) champagne can be made from one or a combination of these grapes: chardonnay, pinot noir, and or pinot meunier. Chardonnay (white grape) gives champagne finesse, pinot noir (red grape) provides aromatics and body, while pinot meunier (red grape) gives fruitiness and body to the wine. Got it? Ok three more notes. First, blanc de noirs (white from red) is a white wine made from red grapes. After the grapes are pressed, the skins are quickly separated from the juice so there is minimal contact, producing a white wine. Secondly, zero dosage means that the wine has no added sugar. Hold please, I'll break it down. One of the final steps in making champagne is when a combination of reserve wine and sugar known as Liqueur d'expédition is added. Dosage refers to the number of grams of sugar in the liqueur. So, when a champagne label says, "zero dosage," it means there is no added sugar. Third champagnes made of 100% pinot meunier are rare, so if you see one, try it.
