Culture is the foundation for success in any organization. It's no coincidence that the companies with the strongest cultures not only consistently top the leaderboards of best places to work but also have the most engaged workforces, are the most in-demand employers and have the strongest financial performance. The Power of Company Culture debunks the myth that a remarkable company culture is something that a business either has or hasn't and shows how any company of any size can implement and maintain a world-class culture for business success.
Structured around the seven pillars of culture success, The Power of Company Culture will show how to develop a company culture that improves productivity, performance, staff retention, company reputation and profits. Packed full of insights from leading practitioners at the forefront of developing outstanding company cultures including Michael Arena, Chief Talent Officer at General Motors, and Sheri Conaway, Director of People at Southwest Airlines, this is essential reading for all HR Managers and business leaders who are responsible for building, monitoring and managing culture in their organizations.

Nothing can rouse and seduce like the music of the great Leonard Cohen. D'Arrietta and his band perform stirring, arresting interpretations.
D'Arrietta & band celebrate the late, legendary Leonard Cohen, offering arresting & imaginative arrangements of his most iconic music and poetry, punctuated by stories of his life and motivations behind the songs. An EdFringe hit of 2016 and 2017, My Leonard Cohen sold-out at the Sydney Opera House and Adelaide Fringe Festival. Gusty, rousing arrangements, insightful poetic narrative. Cohen's work as you've never heard it before! The heartrending 'Suzanne', desperately seductive 'I'm Your Man', apocalyptic 'Future' & the iconic 'Hallelujah' are some of the many songs given the D'Arrietta treatment. Gob-smackingly good musicianship & entertainment.

The Chico High School Foundation (CHSF) was established to enhance and enrich student learning opportunities by providing additional financial support for the academic and extracurricular programs at the high school. The CHSF currently manages 26 donor-advised funds. These funds support the art, English, theatre, and technology programs, provide mini-grant support for teachers, and supply students with numerous scholarships.
So What...? Lies in Sow What?
We all have different answers to this question depending on our values, faith, and living circumstances. For me, the answer to the question lies in family, work and community service. With family as the constant, service to others has become my new motivator as President of the Chico High School Foundation and as a board member of the North Valley Community Foundation.
Serving on these boards, I have viewed firsthand a number of people in the Chico community who have given thousands of dollars and, in one case, over a million dollars to benefit the aged, homeless, disabled, and the many non-profit organizations in our area. These people, most of whom wish to remain anonymous, are sowing seeds of help, support, and growth to individuals and organizations for future generations to come. These giving, caring benefactors have the peace of mind that they have made a difference by changing lives and giving others opportunities to follow dreams. They also have the extreme satisfaction of knowing their gift is one that will keep on giving year after year!
My interest and passion is the Chico High School Foundation. Chico High was not only my work place, but was the high school attended by my daughters. It was also the venue in which friendships were born and the platform from which thousands of students jettisoned into the world of 'real' life. From my position as principal, I viewed many, many students who needed a voice of support and/or a financial boost to help them successfully encounter the postsecondary stage of their lives.
The Chico High Foundation currently manages over 20 different funds, each of which has a defined purpose and benefit. A wide range of different scholarships exists in the areas of agriculture, athletics, engineering, science, and general scholarship achievements. There are also several different endowments which support teachers with mini-grants, in the arts, athletics, English, and the theater programs. You are encouraged to support any of these programs by adding to the account balance, or by creating a new fund in your name or that of a loved one.
If you are motivated "to plant a tree" to benefit Chico High School students or teachers, please contact us, or Alexa Valavanis, Executive Director of the North Valley Community Foundation.

11/17/16 – Rapid ʻŌhiʻa Death Kills Forest Giant And Confirms Spread To Hamakua
RAPID ʻŌHIʻA DEATH KILLS FOREST GIANT AND CONFIRMS SPREAD TO HAMAKUA
Twin Tests Verify Fungal Disease Killed Centuries Old Tree
(Hamakua Coast, Hawai'i) – From the road, in the Laupahoehoe Section of the Hilo Forest Reserve, Steve Bergfeld of the Hawai'i Department of Land and Natural Resources spots the enormous, towering, ōhiʻa tree; its thick branches now completely without leaves. The Hawai'i Island Branch Manager for the DLNR Division of Forestry and Wildlife wants to get a close-up look at the tree, after a technician first spotted it and took samples a week ago. Two laboratory tests have confirmed that this very old tree was killed by the fast-moving fungal infection known as Rapid ʻŌhiʻa Death.
Across Hawai'i Island, the disease is killing trees and devastating tens of thousands of acres of native forest. First reported in the Puna District in 2010, the latest aerial surveys show that the fungus has impacted nearly 50,000 acres of forest here. Named for the rapidity in which it kills infected trees, the loss of the 100-130 foot tall ōhiʻa in the Laupahoehoe forest, and perhaps others around it, shows the disease has spread to the island's eastern side, along the Hamakua Coast. Bergfeld observed, "It's devastating to look at the forest and the damage Rapid ʻŌhiʻa Death is doing to our ecosystem and our watersheds. That tree is a giant in the forest. It also supports a lot of other plant life and bird life. It was an important part of our ecosystem. These trees have been here for hundreds of years and to see them go down to a disease like this is really heartbreaking."
ʻŌhiʻa trees are culturally significant and their flowers are prized for lei making. Foresters
consider ōhiʻa the most important species for protecting the state's forested watersheds for its dense canopy, where virtually all domestic water supplies originate. That's why a strong
collaboration between state and federal government agencies and conservation organizations is actively researching the cause of the disease, potential treatments, and the establishment of quarantines and protocols to prevent further spread.
The identification of this diseased tree is the latest example of this cooperative effort. The tree was spotted by a technician from the U.S. Forest Service's Institute of Pacific Island Forestry, who collected the wood samples for lab testing. Verification of Rapid ʻŌhiʻa Death, as the trees cause of death, was done by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture's Pacific Basin Agricultural Research Center in Hilo. An entomologist from the University of Hawai'i's College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources Extension Service also collected samples for research that suggests beetles are a primary cause for the spread of the fungus.
Bergfeld explains the next steps involving experts from the Rapid ʻŌhiʻa Death working group. "We'll put everyone's heads together and see what the best management strategy will be for this particular tree. I assume, more than likely, we'll fell the tree to get it out of the forest and cover it with tarps to keep insects from putting out frass (the powdery refuse or fragile perforated wood produced by the activity of boring insects), into the air," he said.
Experts are very concerned that with the confirmation of Rapid ʻŌhiʻa Death in this tree, the
disease has spread to a previously unaffected area farther up the Hamakua Coast: a forest
already impacted by a 2013-2014 outbreak of the Koa looper, a native insect that defoliates
entire koa trees during rare, unexplained outbreaks.
Governor David Ige, lead scientists, and policy makers engaged in the fight against Rapid ʻŌhiʻa Death, will gather for the first-ever summit on the disease at the State Capitol on
Wednesday, November 30, 2016. The event is open to the public and is scheduled from
9 a.m. – 3 p.m. in the Capitol Auditorium. More information on this to follow.

Strength, durability, and performance are standard features on Salford field cultivators. Hydraulic self-leveling frames and fine-adjust single-point depth control are standard features. Capped, all-tubular steel frames add to the strength of the machine, and 4" x 6" main beams and 2.5" x 2.5" tine bars stand up to the toughest operating conditions. Fewer hinge points greatly reduce wear on Salford cultivators, lowering maintenance costs over the life of these durable machines.

"Peter, you're on tv!". Now, our tv isn't switched on a lot, so we quickly turned to NPO3.
'Sophie in de Mentale Kreukels' is on. For those unfamiliar with our Sophie Hilbrand, she is quite well-known for addressing all different kinds of societal taboos. And whilst I was attending a convention in the Vlietland hospital in dedication to 'Week of the Ear', Sophie was there for her shows' recordings. Today she's discussing challenges and mental problems related to stress. And sheds some light on one of the main reasons our work at Earproof is so important, 'tinnitus'.
This episode features me and some brief statements about living with tinnitus, a real challenge, which is proven to me daily. In the aftermath of the show, people in my network have been approaching me with the same questions. In that regard I've put them on paper to answer everyone and hopefully spread even more awareness.
I didn't know you had a beep in your ear? I've never heard you mention that before?
For starters, people suffering from tinnitus don't usually go around shouting it from the rooftops. It's bad enough having to go day by day with a high-pitched whistle in your head, I try to distract myself as much as I can.
Do you hear it all the time?
Absolutely. It never gets quiet. Not when I travel, not when I eat, not even when sleep. It's exhausting. I never wake up fully rested. My brain is simultaneously producing and processing the sound at the same time. This results in a constant state of stress because your brain senses a danger signal.
Is tinnitus the reason you started Earproof?
No. My symptoms began when I already had started Earproof. To be honest though, the tinnitus has motivated me even more to continue Earproofs mission. Everyone should use earplugs to prevent tinnitus or hearing damage.
How does your beep sound?
Difficult to say. If you have ever experienced a beep or whistle after a night out, you know what I'm talking about. It's loud, high-pitched and f*cking annoying. Night after night I would come back from nights out at Roxy Amsterdam with this beep. "Great night", I would think to myself, not knowing you can experience this all the time 24/7.
This tinnitus is caused by a disruption in the nerve transmission. The hair cells' functionality is damaged and can't recognize their function. This leads to confusion in the brain and thus to the brain starting to produce the sound itself. This is also known as a 'phantom sound'.
As far as we know there is no cure for tinnitus. Sometimes the symptoms decrease a little, but it doesn't fully disappear. My credo is to protect your ears so you don't get into trouble of some sorts!
Doesn't it drive you completely insane?
Not anymore. I have accepted and embraced the beep. It's part of me now. But when I die I hope it to be; 'and all was quiet'.
Seriously, If I'd known wearing protection for your ears would prevent tinnitus, I would've paid ten million to get earplugs. Now my mission is to at least save ten million ears.
Learn more about tinnitus and how to protect yourself against it.

Hi there! We are David and Elena and together we have created … DETAKO.
Would you like to enjoy an unforgettable experience? We want to make it possible for you. Share with us your special occasion and we will make it true.
Do you want to surprise your couple, gather with your friends, host a business lunch or a family meeting? We will take the luxury restaurant to your own home.
Passion, effort and dedication have driven two young peopleto chase their dream.
Detako grants you the possibility to taste high quality mealswithout losing the comfort of your own home, an impeccableservice so that you will not need to think about anything else but enjoying the moment.
David started off as a chef from a very young age in the city of Edinburgh (Scotland), where he worked for a year. However, he decided to come back to Spain and enrolled in cuisine studies in Santo Domingo de la Calzada (La Rioja).
His journey led him to Malaga. Its weather and natural beauty charmed this young man, who decided to spend a few years in the city and eventually acquired in Malaga the biggest part of his professional experience.
After working as a chef for over 6 years with a wide range of culinary influences such as the Japanese, the Italian, the Mediterranean and the South American, he is ready to keep on learning from new cultures, traditions and gastronomy from all around the world.
Her college education took Elena to Malaga, where she fell in love with the natural charm of the city.
She started her professional career in a renowned Japanese restaurant in the centre of Malaga with David, where they discovered that they could achieve great things together, bonded by their passion.
This is how DETAKO was born, with Elena leading the service and David as a chef.
For me, cuisine is "my great interest, the craftship of the artisan, a passion, an art… and there are not enough words to describe how I feel in it".
I get to express my happiness in my meals, in the tastes I cook, I try to get to the most sensitive point of the diner with unforgettable bites, small delicacies that will transport you to your childhood, to a specific moment, to your grandma's dish, the taste of your mom's stew with the main ingredients: love, perseverance, effort.
I love to get this feeling with my dishes and getting my customers to feel moved with it is a source of pride for me.
My cuisine is hard to label. Although I have a certain Japanese influence due to my past as a sushiman, I love to mix all kinds of flavors from all over the world to create innovative meals. I also enjoy playing with traditional dishes and turning them upside down to make them original and fun for your senses.
We are based in the capital of Malaga, but our reach expands over the entire province.
El carligto, a luxurious "cortijo" located in Axarquía.
We will host events outside Spain that we will gradually present. For that reason, we don't rule out the opportunity to reach any corner of the globe.
Any further inquiries? We will be happy to answer any doubts you may have about DETAKO.

It's summer and we all dream about hitting the beach and have a nice cool dip in the ocean, or better yet a dive, a snorkeling dive if you know what I mean.
What is snorkeling dive you ask? Well it's only the most fun kind of diving.
You just need a snorkeling mask and you're good to go. No heavy and complicated equipment, no oxygen bottles, just you and your swim pants.
Well it's not that hard really.
Read up this blog to find all about it.

Gigi Hadid Could Never: Rihanna Lands Three Vogue Paris Covers For December

She's made it clear that she's got a lot of respect for the fashion industry, and they've returned the favor by tapping her to host next year's Met Gala.
That means everyone should be ready to see Rihanna in every edition of Vogue put out between now and the event. In at least one instance, a new edition will be dripping in Rih's vibes. That's because she's the guest editor of Vogue Paris for its December issue.

Al Shabaab militants have captured a key Somali town near with the border with Kenya, according to witnesses.
Residents in El Wak told VOA's Somali service that heavily armed Al Shabaab fighters attacked the town from two directions late Friday and now control it.
"The soldiers were attacked by al-Shabab; government forces were overpowered," said a resident who declined to give his name due to security concerns.
Witnesses say at least four people — among them two government soldiers and two civilians — were caught in crossfire near a military base and killed.
Immediately after entering El Wak, Al Shabaab fighters attacked the government base on the southern side of the town. Witnesses say they saw Somali government soldiers fleeing across the border into Kenya.
Fighting subsided as night fell and civilians stayed indoors. Al-Shabab "battle wagons" — pickup trucks with large guns mounted on the back — were reportedly patrolling the town.
"No one can step outside; we don't know how long they will stay in the town," another resident said of the militants, speaking to VOA on condition of anonymity.
Witnesses say the Al Shabaab force consists of about 200 fighters with a dozen battle wagons.
The town's telecommunication network was disconnected earlier Friday. Residents blame Al-Shabaab for taking down the phone network.
El Wak is a strategic town and a main supply route for Kenyan troops operating in southwestern Somalia. Al-Shabaab lost the town in 2011 to Somali government forces.


In We Happy Few, gamers have been wondering how to cure Food Poisoning. Getting Food Poisoning is almost inevitable, as safe food is not commonly available in We Happy Few. Because eating is essential to your survival, you'll likely end up scarfing down some rotten food. This is fine in small quantities, but the more you eat, the sicker you'll get.
When you have Food Poisoning in We Happy Few, your health deteriorates which and you suffer from status effects that make progressing through the game harder. To help, we put together a quick guide on how to cure Food Poisoning in We Happy Few!
You'll need to craft Sick Up Tea to cure Food Poisoning in We Happy Few.
In We Happy Few, Food Poisoning occurs when players eat rotten food. Food Poison can range in severity from moderate to severe depending on how much rotten food the player ingests. Additionally, Food Poisoning causes status effects that result in dizziness, blurry vision, and vomiting. When you begin vomiting, your Hunger Meter starts to deplete, causing a reduction in Stamina.
Essentially, it's a pretty nasty situation in We Happy Few that needs to be addressed and treated as soon as possible. To cure Food Poisoning in We Happy Few, you'll need to craft an item called Sick Up Tea. By crafting and ingesting Sick Up Tea, you'll be able to cure Food Poisoning and remove all status effects caused by Food Poisoning.
Items like Empty Pill Bottles and Charcoal can be scavenged, although the Night Blooming Nonsuch can be harder to acquire as it only blooms at night. Exploring at night can be dangerous, so keep an eye out for glowing pink flowers in order to make collecting Night Blooming Nonsuch at night easier, thereby reducing the amount of time you're out and about.
Note that ingesting Sick Up Tea will cause you to vomit pretty violently. This can deplete your entire Hunger Meter, so be sure to have safe foods on hand to replenish your Hunger Meter. Additionally, you can craft and store Sick Up Tea in your inventory should you find yourself in a situation where rotten food is the only type of food available as, again, eating rotten food causes Food Poisoning in We Happy Few.
Now that you know how to craft Sick Up Tea, you should be prepared to deal with instance of Food Poisoning in We Happy Few.
By reading through this guide, you should now know how to cure Food Poisoning by crafting Sick Up Tea in We Happy Few.

Bad For You: Wahlburgers
By Bryan Bierman
Bad For You Junk Food
Thom Carroll/PhillyVoice
The massive "Triple Decker" burger at Wahlburgers has the right stuff.
If you're launching a restaurant business, it surely helps to have two celebrities and a reality show in your corner. Then again, making movies and flipping hamburgers don't have much to do with each other.
The Triple Decker Burger and Invincible Burger
Price: $9.95 and $10.95, respectively
Available at: Wahlburgers
Through: Now and until the Wahlberg family becomes unprofitable
Owned by chef Paul Wahlberg and his two musician/actor brothers Mark and Donnie, the Wahlburgers chain has 13 locations across North America. Over the next five years, the plan is to get that number up to 150. The accompanying reality TV series of the same name — which has been airing on A&E since 2014 — documents the various goings on of the family business.
Donnie Wahlberg, of course, was the first of the family to become famous as part of the boy band juggernaut that was New Kids on the Block, before he became a successful actor in movies like "The Sixth Sense," "Ransom" and multiple "Saw" sequels and various TV shows, including "Blue Bloods," which my dad says is great.
Mark Wahlberg burst onto the scene as Marky Mark, who, along with The Funky Bunch, scored a huge hit with "Good Vibrations" in 1991. He became an underwear model and later an in-demand actor with films like "Boogie Nights," "The Departed" and the "Ted" and "Transformers" series.
You might think I'm going to poke fun at the Wahlbergs, but I think it's actually pretty remarkable that two of them managed to turn successful music careers into successful acting careers. And now they co-own a restaurant chain with more than a dozen locations. I'm not going to stand here and make fun of them.
So I'll sit down.
Wahlburgers? Real rap? This is happening right now? Am I really spending my Labor Day in a shrine to Dirk Diggler and Donnie from NKOTB?
And shrine is an accurate word. There are giant pictures of Mark, Donnie, Paul and their mother Alma all over Philly's Wahlburgers, which just opened in Northern Liberties at the north end of the Piazza. There are gigantic boards hanging from the ceiling with the list of movies or TV shows the two have been in stenciled into it, which is absolutely ridiculous for anyone, but even more so for the Wahlbergs. Sure, they've been in some good things, but not enough to fill a ceiling with only classics. However, maybe I'm the only one who didn't see "Marilyn Hotchkiss' Ballroom Dancing & Charm School." The big board also includes "Wahlburgers," which is the goddamn reality show about the goddamn place I'm in right now.
And then there's the Boston angle. The first thing I saw upon walking in was Mark Wahlberg in a Red Sox jersey throwing out the first pitch at Fenway Park. My immediate Philadelphian instinct was, "Screw this place." They also take every chance to spell anything in a stereotypical Masshole accent — "ordah," for instance. I'm not from Boston, but I feel like this is a little insulting. Imagine some Philly-inspired restaurant being like, "Yo cuz, let's get cheesesteaks and watch that 'Rocky' jawn!"
When our reviewer ordered the Invincible Burger, it was woefully undercooked. When our photographer ordered one to shoot, it was done well but dry. Bad vibrations.
There are things written on the walls and menus like, "What's that extra special Wahl flavor? It's pride and love, of course!" Yeah, you idiot. You can't taste that pride?
And there's a little gift shop area that sells hats and glasses, which was mobbed with old ladies during my visit. Overall, the place was quite busy, especially for a holiday.
First, this place is a little pricey for what you actually get. When you order a burger, it doesn't come with fries. You have to order them separately, which is booty. You know I want french fries; now I have to pay an extra $3 for a little-ass cup of them? A burger should come with fries, especially when in a diner atmosphere, which is what Wahlburgers is going for. There's no silverware. If you order a burger, there's a pronged popsicle stick stuck into it. Everything comes in diner-like baskets or disposable containers.
The "thin, crispy onion rings" were probably the best thing I had there: red onions flash fried just long enough and very salty. They were fantastic. The fries were good also, the tots not as much.
I ordered a Triple Decker Burger, which looked like your standard '50s diner-type hamburger — compact and dripping with grease and the restaurant's self-described "government cheese," which was actually the best part about the whole burger. It was slightly better than an average burger, though not as good as one of Wahlburgers' competitors like Five Guys.
My guest, who absolutely refused to be named in this article, was forced (by me) to order the "Invincible Burger," named after the Mark Wahlberg vehicle about Eagles player Vince Papale. This was a half-pound burger on a pretzel bun covered in bacon and caramelized onions. It's interesting to note that the burger isn't on the actual menu — only an ad on the napkin dispenser tipped me off to its existence. Apparently, a Pennsylvania woman came up with the burger for a contest and not the Wahlbergs.
I do not know the logistics of cooking a half-pound burger, but it must be harder than a regular burger, considering that it's the size of a hockey puck. The "Invincible Burger" came to our table pretty much raw on the inside. We sent it back. It returned, microwaved but still not done.
MORE BAD FOR YOU IS GOOD FOR YOU:
Crystal Pepsi in the age of commodified nostalgia
The Whopperito from Burger King
Burger King's Mac N' Cheetos
Pizza Hut's Bacon Stuffed Crust Pizza
Herr's Chickie's & Pete's Famous Crabfries Seasoned Potato Chips
Taco Bell's Triple Double Crunchwrap
Arby's Brown Sugar Bacon Half-Pound Club
I was forced to take a bite, and it was pretty much uncooked meat. The employees and manager, however, were very nice about the situation and took it off our check.
I departed the restaurant wondering if my non-plussing experience could partly be attributed to the fact that I'd never seen the "Wahlburgers" reality show. The show follows Mark, Donnie and Paul, along with their other brothers and sisters — Arthur, James, Debbie, Michelle, Tracey and Robert Wahlberg. There's also Alma and her employees, as well as little-known cousins Wally Wahlberg, Phillipe Wahlberg and Mitsuharu Wahlberg, all of whom are professional jugglers and test-tube babies.
I picked the premiere of season four to start, figuring it would be deep enough into the series that things would be interesting.
It began with Paul taking his kids to see Mark's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, before they headed to Mark's house to swim in his pool. They talked about how nice his pool was. Then they decided the kids should make their own pizzas. They talked about which of the children made the best pizza and at this point, my brain snapped and I turned off the TV. I lasted seven minutes.
I will eat hot garbage every week for Bad For You, including raw meat, but I will not watch "Wahlburgers."
Verdict: It was OK. A little expensive. Unless you're a diehard Wahlberg nut, stick with the other (five) guys.
Wahlburgers tots and fries. These cost extra.

Doors of the Mind: Inner Mysteries
Doors of the Mind: Inner Mysteries is a hidden object game with a spooky theme
Doors of the Mind: Inner Mysteries is a hidden-object game in which you must help Hazel collect clues from her past by means of hypnosis. Throughout the game, you will discover secrets of her unconscious mind that will eventually help her overcome her sleeping disorder. As you play, you will be able to see different scenes that represent hidden object games. In some of them you will be provided a list of objects to find and, in others, you will be given their silhouettes. The scenes are very well made and the objects are perfectly camouflaged with the environment. If you have trouble finding an object, you can always use the hints, which are unlimited, but take some time to reload. In between hidden-object scenes, there are also surreal puzzles and mini-games which make the game even more enjoyable and attractive. They mainly include jigsaw puzzles, open combination locks, spot-the-differences games, memory games, and many others.
Unfortunately, there's only game mode, which is untimed and in which you are told the story and Hazel's development as you play. Besides, there are no punishments for incorrect clicks, which make the game pretty easy.

Der Schatz im All ist eine siebenteilige Science-Fiction-Fernsehserie, die 1986/1987 in italienisch-deutsch-französischer Kooperation unter der Regie von Antonio Margheriti entstanden ist. Als Vorlage diente der Roman Die Schatzinsel von Robert Louis Stevenson. Neben der Serie wurde auch ein Film herausgegeben. Eine DVD der Serie erschien 2008 im Vertrieb des Studios Euro Video.

Handlung
In der Zukunft: Der zwölfjährige Jim lebt mit seiner Mutter und seinem todkranken Vater in einem alten Leuchtturm auf Sizilien. Dort betreiben sie die Gastwirtschaft Al Convegno Spaziale.

Eines Tages betritt Billy Bones, ein alter Raumschiffpilot, der durch die Einnahme von Drogen zu einem körperlichen Wrack geworden ist, das Gasthaus. Er beschließt für einige Zeit zu bleiben. Irgendwann erfährt Jim von Billy Bones, dass dieser im Besitz eines Lageplanes ist, der zu einem großen Schatz führen soll. Mit Erschrecken muss Jim jedoch erfahren, dass sich auch einige Piraten für diesen Plan interessieren.

Nachdem Billy Bones stirbt, nimmt Jim den Plan an sich und fliegt gemeinsam mit Doktor Livesy, Graf Ravano und Captain Smolett zum Planeten, wo der Schatz vergraben ist. Mit an Bord der Hispaniola sind John Silver und einige andere Piraten. Auf dem Planeten kommt es zur Auseinandersetzung.

In einem dramatischen Finale finden die Schatzsucher tatsächlich vor den Piraten den Schatz. Nachdem dieser sichergestellt wird, kehren sie zur Erde zurück und überlassen die Piraten ihrem Schicksal. Lediglich Long John Silver gelingt es, an Bord der Hispaniola zu gelangen. Kurz vor der Landung auf der Erde verabschiedet er sich mit einem Geschenk von Jimmy und benutzt ein Shuttle, um seinen eigenen Weg zu gehen. Vor dem Abflug zeigt er Jimmy noch, dass er sich einen kleinen Teil vom riesigen Schatz genommen hat.

Aug 27 By Ripping Out Its Lawns, Is L.A. Choking Out Its Worms, Butterflies and Birds?
Garrett Hardin, American ecologist and my university biology professor, in a famous 1968 paper in Science, called attention to "the damage that innocent actions by individuals can inflict on the environment". He is also known for Hardin's First Law of Human Ecology: "You cannot do only one thing", which "modestly implies that there is at least one unwanted consequence". Read the above piece from LA Weekly to see this played out.


In 1958, Australian playwright Alan Seymour wrote a play "The One Day Of The Year". This play referred to Anzac Day. Little did he realise this would equally apply to the Taree sub- branch of the RSL. Anzac Day is the 'one day of the year' that the memorial clock in Fotheringham Park is used for that purpose, to commemorate The Fallen. That is apart from photo and media opportunities by RSL officials. I have been advised that Remembrance Day this year, 100 years since the cessation of hostilities in World War I, will be held, as usual, at the Club Taree memorial. Surely on this particular occasion the clock would be a more appropriate venue for such a historical event. The memorial at Club Taree is an impressive location but is it appropriate for the citizens of Taree and surrounds for the observance of Remembrance Day, 2018 ?

Cannabis is effective for fibromyalgia
Treatment of the root cause of refractory pain
Fibromyalgia is an intractable condition defined by chronic widespread pain and weakness. But a recent study published in Clinical and Experimental Rheumatology showed that cannabis can be used effectively to remedy these problems, at least in some patients.
Overall, cannabis research is fraught with methodological difficulties, thanks to anachronistic regulations that consider marijuana to be more dangerous than fentanyl or oxycontin. But this study by Italian scientists stands out, producing research that is applicable to people who are trying to use medicinal cannabis to treat fibromyalgia.
WHO WAS STUDIED?
The researchers recruited just over a hundred patients at the Luigi Sacco University Hospital in Milan, Italy. Sixty-six of them were interviewed during six months of treatment. The average participant was 52 years old and more than 90% of the patients were women (women make up the vast majority of people with fibromyalgia).
The study focused on the treatment of refractory patients, that is, people who take medications stably, but have found no relief. Just under half of their patients were taking two other medications, while almost a third were taking at least three. These medications were severe central sedatives, including opioids, anticonvulsants, nerve blockers, and antidepressants.
Given the intensity of the drugs people were already taking, it was surprising to find that half of the patients (47%) received enough cannabis relief to reduce or discontinue their pain reliever use.
One-third to one-half of the patients experienced significant benefits with respect to sleep, anxiety, depression, and pain symptoms. Most of the patients were overweight or obese, and cannabis appeared to be more effective for heavier patients. Some participants were excluded, including those who already used cannabis and people with other pain or rheumatic diseases.
The authors conclude: "Therefore, complementary treatment [Medical cannabis treatment] may be considered, especially in the [fibromyalgia] subpopulation suffering from significant sleep disorders and mild anxiety-depressive symptoms."
VALUATION DYES
Dosing cannabis is complicated, which is why the Italian researchers used a strategy commonly applied by patients. They used two pharmaceutical grade flowers, let's call them: rich in THC and balanced. The balanced flower had slightly more CBD than THC.
Both were converted into olive oil tinctures with a dropper to dose. Participants were advised to take two doses per day, one balanced dose in the morning and the THC-rich formulation in the evening. THC can promote sleep and appears to be a more effective pain reliever than CBD, so it would be unwise to discourage its use entirely. But the intoxicating effects of THC are negative for many people who would go to work and live a normal life. This study gave fibromyalgia sufferers the opportunity to use different formulations tailored to their own circadian rhythms and sensitivities.
There was no established dosing regimen: medical research so far has not been established in a single dose, and it is unrealistic to suspect that an ideal dose exists, given the variety of conditions that cannabis can help treat.
Instead, the researchers recommended that participants try 10-30 drops in each morning and afternoon dose. Slowly titrating based on their own comfort, they could take up to 120 drops per day. This could mean starting with just 4 mg of THC and 2 mg of CBD, divided into two doses. The highest doses would have been close to 27 mg of THC and 8 mg of CBD, with most of the THC taken at night.
DEALING WITH THE UNDERLYING PROBLEM
More than a third of the participants experienced clinically significant improvements in sleep symptoms and fibromyalgia. Half of the patients reported moderate benefits in anxiety and depression once cannabis was added to their treatment regimen.
This is a common theme: the evidence is in conflict over whether cannabis can treat depression or insomnia separately. But when these problems are secondary to a condition like chronic pain or fibromyalgia, cannabinoids are quite effective. It is as if they were treating the underlying problem, rather than just the symptoms.
Dr. Ethan Russo hypothesizes that fibromyalgia, along with migraine, may be an expression of a clinical syndrome of endocannabinoid deficiency. This theory proposes that certain diseases manifest when the endocannabinoid system is too weak to adequately regulate the many physiological systems under its control. If endocannabinoid deficiency causes certain diseases, then taking vegetable cannabinoids like CBD and THC will address the root of the disease, rather than simply mitigating some symptoms.
The fact that almost half of the patients were able to reduce the use of other drugs, with 21% discontinuing their other medications altogether, "probably reflects their subjective satisfaction with the efficacy and side effects of MCT [medical treatment cannabis], "said the Italian study.
WHO BENEFITED?
Among the participants, 60 were women and only 6 were men. Therefore, it was not possible to determine if sex had any impact on treatment. Interestingly, the researchers found that the heaviest participants were the most likely to experience benefits. This could be related to lower obesity rates among cannabis users, which is constantly observed when studying how cannabis affects public health.
There are also other possible explanations. CBD and THC are oily molecules that like to hang out in fat tissue. The authors speculate that people with more fat can better absorb cannabinoids, leading to a better treatment result.
The benefits of cannabis in anxiety and depression are also particularly remarkable: 80% of people with fibromyalgia suffer from anxiety or depression.
A VALUABLE THERAPY
Of the initial 102 participants, about a third dropped out of the study within six months. That's a reasonably good retention rate for a clinical study like this. But it is important to consider who left and why, as this can skew the results. Eleven participants explicitly discontinued treatment: cannabis did not work, caused moderate side effects, or was too expensive. Ten of the participants continued to use cannabis but dropped out of the study when they moved to another hospital. The remaining 15 dropouts were simply not accounted for.
About one in three people experienced mild or moderate side effects (such as dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, and dry mouth). Few participants reported worse symptoms after starting cannabis therapy, although it may have been making some patients feel fatigued.
IS CANNABIS THERAPY WORTH IT?
The researchers seem to think so, especially compared to conventional alternatives: "The MCT [Medical Cannabis Treatment] has been shown to be a much safer supplement than opioid treatment, which is associated with a high risk / benefit ratio and is not effective. in the treatment of fibromyalgia; Furthermore, MCT has no substantial addictive properties in terms of dose escalation or withdrawal syndrome. Tolerance is the most important concern because, although symptom relief is obtained after only three months, a longer treatment period could lead to decreased effectiveness, although this can be avoided with extremely slow dose titration. ».

Thread tapping is a simple, well-known and highly effective method of obtaining the thread. This method provides productive and efficient thread cutting, small diameter particularly, due to short downtime, high speed cutting and long tool life. Standard taps and tap-burnishers have different construction. Important characteristics of each type of tap are: material, covering and geometry. Tap designed and suitable for specific application and operating with high efficiency only on one material, or under certain conditions, cannot provide the same level of efficiency in other materials processing or under other cutting conditions. Taps are appropriate for production of many thread profiles, they are suitable for all machine types with both rotating and non-rotating blanks.
Taiwan Metiz Alliance offers a complete range of taps for threading any profile of different materials. Our range is divided into two lines: taps optimized for handling specific groups of materials according to ISO, and taps optimized for handling several groups of materials.
Taps optimized for a certain group of materials according to ISO are intended for mass production, when threads are cut on one and the same items of the same material, or when unique requirements.
Taps optimized for handling several groups of materials , are appropriate for small- or medium volume manufacturing, when the thread is cut on various items of different materials.
High performance and long tool life.
Increased productivity due to high speeds of cutting.
High performance due to specialized designs for each material and coatings.
Suitable for a wide range of materials.
Reduces the range of tools and minimizes expenses.
Provides stable processing due to unique cutting geometry.
Depending on your specific requirements to the hole we have four different groups of taps.
They are mostly used for processing short chipping materials such as cast iron.
Are appropriate for cutting threads on both through and blind holes.
Chip grooves are used for coolant supply, with internal coolant supply chip clearance is possible.
Appropriate for thread cutting on the through holes.
The most robust construction due to depthless chip grooves.
Chip grooves are intended only for coolant supply, and not for chip clearance.
Spiral chip grooves expel the chips from the holes.
The best choice for thread cutting in blind holes.
Different chip grooves lead angle for different applications.
Chip grooves are used for coolant supply and for chip clearance.
Tapping on different depths depending on the application and geometry.
Suitable for materials with high plasticity. Recommended break point of the processed material is not more than 1200 N/mm2.
For thread cutting both through and blind holes.
Both with and without oil channels designs are available.
With standard taps chips occurred during cutting process.
Tap-burnishers are more productive than standard taps.
Ability to handle threads in the holes with 3,5 × D depth, no problems with chip clearance.
One type of taps can be used for processing various materials, as well as blind and through holes.
Tap-burnishers have a robust construction that reduces the risk of breakage.
Guaranteed to provide required accuracy of the thread.
Up to 100% stronger thread (higher bearing resistance).
Higher surface quality of the thread.
Taps of high-speed steel with addition of cobalt for increase.
Taps of powder high-speed steel for durability, wear resistance and tool life increase.
One-piece carbide taps for long tool life and maximum performance.
TiCN - applied to one-piece carbide tap-burnishers. It combines low friction with high hardness.
TiN - universal coverage with low frictional coefficient.
CrN - great choice for processing the materials of ISO N group and low alloy steel.

Q: "Test failed to run to completion. Reason: 'Instrumentation run failed due to 'Process crashed.'' while running multiple testcases I wrote a test project for testing an android application(Application Under Test is my own project). I get the following failure in console as well as in Junit View.
Test failed to run to completion. Reason: 'Instrumentation run failed due to 'Process crashed.''. Check device log-cat for details
But log-cat does not have a single exception or anything. Log seems same as a successful simple run of application.
When i debug the test it fails at teardown() method at following line:
        solo.finishOpenedActivities();

But nothing is reflected on log-cat. Additionally this failure is not uniform for all the test runs. Sometime it fails after first testcase and sometime before first testcase.
public class MainActivityTest extends
    ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2<MainActivity> {

private Solo solo;

public MainActivityTest() throws ClassNotFoundException {
    super(MainActivity.class);
}

@Override
protected void setUp() throws Exception {
    super.setUp();
    solo = new Solo(getInstrumentation(), getActivity());
}

public void testActivityProperlyDisplayed() throws Exception {

    getInstrumentation().waitForIdleSync();
    if (getActivity().getActionBar() != null) {
        assertFalse("ActionBar is shown", getActivity().getActionBar()
                .isShowing());
    } else {
        throw new AssertionFailedError("ActionBar not showing");
    }
}

public void test2(){}
public void test3(){}
// and so on

@Override
protected void tearDown() throws Exception {
    solo.finishOpenedActivities();
    super.tearDown();
}

}

Robotium version is 5.2.1 and is properly imported in project. Also successfully running for other applications.
Here's the lines that are printed in console
[2014-07-29 14:19:38 - XMClientTest] Launching instrumentation android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner on UOQ1GYHIQ4
[2014-07-29 14:19:43 - XMClientTest] Sending test information to Eclipse
[2014-07-29 14:19:49 - XMClientTest] Test run failed: Instrumentation run failed due to 'Process crashed.'
[2014-07-29 14:19:49 - XMClientTest] Test run finished

A: I got the problem. Instrumentation testing can't test an application which has System.exit(0) statement for disposing.
As we know after completion of each test case tearDown() function gets called, And we write solo.finishOpenedActivities() to finish all opened activities(recommended).
When solo.finishOpenedActivities() gets called it calls onDestroy() function of opened activities.
I was using System.exit(0) in  onDestroy() method which causes to stop Dalvik Virtual Machine(Hence finalization of all objects) that cannot be reinitialized by Instrumentation runner.
Hence try to avoid using System.exit(0); in order to unit test your application.
