French-Indigenous Relations and the Rise of the Métis in the Hudson Bay Watershed
History: Canada: Western Canada, Indigenous Studies
How early French-Indigenous relations in the Northwest led to the rise of a new people, the Métis.
The fur trade was the heart of the French empire in early North America. The French-Canadian (Canadien) men who traversed the vast hinterlands of the Hudson Bay watershed, trading for furs from Indigenous trappers and hunters, were its cornerstone.
Though the Canadiens worked for French colonial authorities, they were not unwavering agents of imperial power. Increasingly they found themselves between two worlds as they built relationships with Indigenous communities, sometimes joining them through adoption or marriage, raising families of their own. The result was an ambivalent empire that grew in fits and starts. It was guided by imperfect information, built upon a contested Indigenous borderland, fragmented by local interests, and periodically neglected by government administrators. Heirs of an Ambivalent Empire explores the lives of the Canadiens who used family and kinship ties to navigate between sovereign Indigenous nations and the French colonial government from the early 1660s to the 1780s.
Acting as cultural intermediaries, the Canadiens made it possible for France to extend its presence into northwest North America. Over time, however, their uncertain relationships with the French colonial state splintered imperial authority, leading to an outcome that few could have foreseen - the emergence of a new Indigenous culture, language, people, and nation: the Métis.
"Bringing attention to a largely neglected but critical region - the immense Hudson Bay watershed - Berthelette makes a major intervention in the history of the French empire in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the relationship between Indigenous peoples and key agents of empire, and the rise of the Métis Nation." Michael McDonnell, University of Sydney
Scott Berthelette is Red River Métis, a member of the Manitoba Métis Federation, and assistant professor in the Department of History at Queen's University.

Amazon launches Prime Book Box, a $23 kids' book selection, in its first physical Prime book service
Ingrid Lunden	@ingridlunden / 2 years
Along with the higher price that Amazon is introducing to Prime this month, the company is also bringing another first to its membership service: physical books. The company now has a new product called Prime Book Box, a subscription service for children's hardback books, selected by Amazon editors, sold as part of its Prime tier. You can register now for an invite for when it starts to ship later this year, starting in the U.S.
Pricing is $22.99 per box, which Amazon says works out to 35 percent below the cumulative list price for the books, and you can subscribe for books to come in one-, two- or three-month intervals. Books are divided up by age groups of baby-two years, three-five years, six-eight years and nine-12 years, with sample titles including If Animals Kissed Good Night, A Sick Day for Amos McGee, The Willoughbys, and Arlo Finch in the Valley of Fire.
All books are hardcover, and you can opt either for four board books for kids aged two and younger, or two picture books or novels for older children.
"These books include classics that have stood the test of time as well as hidden gems that our Editors couldn't put down—stories that your reader can enjoy again and again. We will also use your recent purchase history to avoid including a book you have already purchased on Amazon.com," Amazon notes in its FAQ about the service.
Prime already has a reading service called Prime Reading, but it is focused around Kindle e-books, along with selected digital magazines and travel guides.
The idea of bringing out a physical book service specifically for children is notable. Parents are more likely to buy (and get gifted) physical picture books and young adult novels rather than e-books as presents, and so kids often build up libraries of these. It also could be a helpful fillip to those of us out there who are trying to figure out engaging ways of reducing screen time for offspring.
"We want to help Prime members discover great children's books that will inspire a love of reading," a spokesperson told TechCrunch.
It's also a clever way of introducing younger people to using Amazon, and also for Amazon to start developing reading profiles for others in your household besides you the Amazon account holder.
This is not an insignificant data play in that regard: today, Amazon can only make approximations about which books and products are for whom in a household, and even then can only vaguely guess as to who else lives at your address and orders using your account. This is a way for the company to start building more specific profiles, and doubtless the company already has extensive algorithms to suggest what other kinds of products a reader of, say, Madeline L'Engle, might also like to be recommended.
For now, though, the more immediate impression I have here also is that Amazon is not quite giving up on physical books just yet.
Some details that you might not see on the landing page but are notable for how this will work: customers will be able to review each box before it ships and tailor it by swapping books from a curated list, which is one way of avoiding duplicates of books you might already have.
Although books are a very common gift for children, currently you won't be able to gift Prime Book Box subscriptions, "but we're always innovating on behalf of customers," the spokesperson said, so this could be something the company plans to explore down the line.

Welcome to Surry Communications
About Surry Communications
Surry Communications is a local company headquartered in Dobson, with additional locations in Elkin, Mount Airy, Pilot Mountain & Lexington, North Carolina. We provide Telephone, Internet, Television and Security monitoring for businesses and residential customers.
STMC started in 1951 and today continues to invest in the latest technology for our customers. Surry offers cutting edge services including our Fiber to the Home initiative that delivers voice, data and video directly to your home or office.
A group of local people carried a great responsibility on their shoulders when they met on Feb. 6, 1951. Technological and social changes brought about by the Great Depression and World War II made the world a different place. Methods of communication needed to be better and faster even among the farms and quiet towns of the North Carolina Piedmont. That Tuesday, they set in motion the wheels that would carry Surry and surrounding counties into the future.
Sixteen years earlier, Congress had established the Rural Electrification Administration (REA) in order to extend electrical facilities to rural America. In 1949, the REA was amended to assist in bringing telephone service to those same areas. REA made start-up loans that allowed rural cooperatives to build their own service lines, providing the co-ops could prove they had strong community support and a sound operating plan.
The first board of directors meeting in 1951 adopted the by-laws that guide STMC's business operations. They adopted the corporate seal, set residential and business multi-party rates, and took all the steps necessary to apply for a $595,000 REA loan through the North Carolina Rural Electrification Authority.
The Surry Communications received its Charter of Incorporation from the state of North Carolina that same year. It began operation with 192 members in the Level Cross Exchange in November 1954. In 1957, Westfield, Beulah and Zephyr exchanges were added, bringing the number of subscribers to 1,100. The monthly rate for 8-party service was $3.25, with toll charges on calls outside the member's own exchange.
Surry Communications started the 1960s with a new location. In 1961, STMC moved to new headquarters on South Main Street in Dobson, where it stayed for 20 years. By 1963, STMC extended area service so that customers in Beulah, Level Cross and Westfield could call each other free. In addition, Mount Airy, Pilot Mountain and Dobson could also be accessed. When STMC approached the middle part of the decade, membership totaled 2,790 customers and was growing.
The Most Welcome Change – Privacy
Customers who remember party-line service in the 1950s and 1960s almost unanimously agree the biggest and most welcome change in STMC's history came when the company replaced shared party lines with private telephone service that began in the late '60s.
A New Age
Surry Communications started 1970 with a construction project of burying cable for private line conversion in the Westfield exchange. Just a year later, construction for private lines in Beulah and Westfield exchanges began. And also in 1971, STMC added a new exchange to its service area – Red Brush – with an announcement that Beulah and Zephyr exchanges would be the next to get private lines.
At the 1971 annual meeting, Manager John M. Smith said, "The cooperative's goal for 1971 shall be the completion of the final phase of an all one-party system-wide design begun in 1966." But in 1972, we saw the first signs of what was to become the standard in telecommunications delivery. That year, STMC put into service the first digital loop carrier to provide dial tone. The digital age had officially begun.
In 1973, STMC implemented 7-digit dialing on extended calling, and introduced Touch-Tone dialing. We were becoming more sophisticated with technology and welcomed the new changes. Before 1976 came to a close, five of STMC's six exchanges had Touch-Tone dialing.
As the 1970s came to a close, STMC was updating its service even more. In 1977, the first digital concentrator was put into service, and by 1978, toll service was upgraded with new electronic trunks.
We've Moved
For Surry Telephone, Dec. 15, 1980 brought us to a new home. On May 17, 1981, the community was invited to an open house of STMC's new headquarters on East Atkins Street. The new state-of-the-art facility set the tone for the upcoming advancements that were in the planning stages.
At this time in STMC's history, more than 7,000 customers received telephone service from STMC. It also marked the beginning of digital advancement when the first digital switch was put into service. In August 1984, STMC had installed the first fiber-optic transmission equipment that would later become the backbone of today's local network.
By the mid to late 1980s, STMC began a technology campaign that hasn't stopped. In 1981, digital switching technology was first put into service. The Beulah and Westfield exchanges were completed in 1987.
Surry Communications opened the 1990s with three important changes for customers. In July 1990, equal access to long distance providers was offered, allowing customers to choose their own carrier. In September 1991, cellular phones were introduced through Carolina West Wireless. Perhaps the most exciting change to take place in 1992 was the introduction of car phones. Utilizing 10 tower sites, the new service provided maximum coverage for a 6-county region. Plus, enhanced 911 service was provided for Surry County.
The World of Online Communications
One of the most important decisions in STMC's history came in 1995 when the cooperative decided to offer direct local Internet access to our customers. Only a few inventions can claim to have revolutionized the world. The printing press, sewing machine, telephone and television rank among them. Most recently, computers and the Internet have profoundly altered how we work, how we learn and how we communicate. Today more than 5,500 customers count on us for the Internet service.
The '90s ended with the implementing of Broadband and an upgrade to the switching network infrastructure in 1999 – both designed to keep STMC a leader in rural telecommunications technology.
Positive Advancements
For Surry Telephone, these early years of the 21st century have featured positive advancements for the community. In 2000, STMC added remote sites at CC Camp, Horseshoe Road and Prison Camp. Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) became available in July 2001, and just one month later, Surry Long Distance went into service.
By 2003, Surry Telephone's reputation as a quality and affordable provider caused many residents in Dobson to inquire and request service. Evaluation of their strengths and the opportunities that existed within the area, led Surry to form a subsidiary, Surry Telecommunications, (STI) which began offering services to customers in Dobson as a Competitive Local Exchange Carrier (CLEC). The key to success in the competitive market has been the ability to bundle services, offer outstanding customer service through continued employee training and convenient store locations. STI plans to continue their expansion of services into the competitive markets of Pilot, Elkin and Mt. Airy.
Tuning Into Television
2004 opened the door for Surry Communications to become an owner in Visions West, a video service provider for Northwest North Carolina. In 2008, Surry will begin offering Surry TV, which offers customers the latest technology combined with the local, knowledgeable customer service. Surry's investment in expanding television services includes deploying fiber to homes within limited geographical areas.
First quarter of 2005 heralded news of Surry Communicatons agreeing to act as general management for a struggling Piedmont Telephone and thus providing accounting, engineering, monthly CABS and purchasing for Piedmont to be effective April 1, 2005. The arrangement continued through 2007 at which time studies indicated a redundancy in work functions being performed by both companies. At that time, the prevalence of competition entering the telecommunication industry required resources be utilized at maximum efficiency and economies of scales achieved for both companies. A study and search began for an arrangement that would create these efficiencies while being mutually beneficial to members of both cooperatives.
In 2008, the Boards of Directors for both Surry Communications and Piedmont Telephone agreed to pursue plans to merge the two companies. During September of 2008, board meetings of Piedmont and Surry the proposed Position for Merger and Articles of Merger were considered and approved by each board separately. The proposal included a January 1, 2009 merger date with the surviving name of the merged companies to be Surry Communications Membership Cooperation.
The resolutions called for a Special Meeting of the Memberships of both companies to be held for the voting of the proposed merger. Prior to the Special Meeting of the Memberships, informational meetings were held to allow members to ask questions and learn more about the proposed merger. On Thursday, October 30, 2008 the memberships of both cooperatives voted to merge the two companies.
Surry Communications continues to invest in the latest technology, thus allowing Surry to offer customers cutting-edge services. Surry recently installed a Soft switch thus allowing them to offer Voice Over IP (VOIP) and increasing efficiencies in traffic transportation.

Eva's La La Land Script Input
By Katie Berrington 7 February 2017
WHEN Ryan Gosling won the Best Actor award for La La Land at the Golden Globes last month and offered a headline-hitting thank you to his wife, Eva Mendes, it seems that he neglected to mention an interesting detail - that the actress actually came up with one of the film's most famous lines.
"'LA worships everything and values nothing.' That was something my lady said to me one day and I thought it was so funny I asked her if I could put it in the movie," Gosling revealed, reports Entertainment Tonight. "She was kidding, but it's a funny thing to say. I loved when she said it, because it's funny enough to have some truth to it, you know? But it's obviously a joke, so it just seemed appropriate for the movie."

While the actor's performance has been met with critical acclaim - much like the overall film, which received 14 Oscar nominations - Gosling admitted that one of the film's demands didn't come naturally.

"My dance skills were rough! They were rusty," he said. "I had danced as a kid but that was a long time ago and Nineties hip hop is a little different, then tap and, you know, the shim sham… waltzing."

Thousands of people took to the ice on Lake Minnetonka this weekend for the North American Pond Hockey Championship, braving arctic air and subzero temperatures.
Wind chills dipped to 15 degrees below zero during the championship round Sunday.
"It's cold out here but man it's great," said participant Nathan Bergeland. "You warm up if you're skating hard. Our motto is 'score more goals' so we did."
Coordinators say the blast of cold weather helped the ice conditions. The ice is about 21 inches thick on the lake right now and smoother than years past.
"We'd rather have this than last year," said participant Jake Jirik. "It was 35 degrees and mushy out here, so we'll take cold over warm any day."
Nearly 600 players from about 70 teams participated in the weekend tournament.
Hundreds of volunteers and fans also braved the conditions and coordinators set up a warming tent so people could take breaks from the cold.
"Yeah, it's a little cold but once you get moving you warm up pretty quick," said participant Bho Olson. "Just throw on some layers and figure it out."
Overall, players say they're happy to be out there doing what they love.
"We're Minnesotans, and that's the number one reason why. We love the outdoors and, heck, this is a great way to spend it with your buddies, shoot a little puck and win some games," Bergeland said.
Proceeds from this year's event will go to the Hendrickson Foundation, a non-profit that works to grow the game of hockey in Minnesota by being inclusive to those with physical and mental disabilities. They expect to raise more than $100,000 this year.


Hanoi is the capital and second-largest city of Vietnam, situated on the Red River in the northern part of the country. It is an interesting city at many levels. For, as international capitals go, it is not all that old, originally established in only 1010 AD. Yet, it is a city with history, an imperial city where every Vietnamese dynasty is fairly represented, a city where hundreds of ancient temples, pagodas and cultural icons have endured. It is also in part a colonial city, the star of French Indochina, where the early 19th-century architecture, both French and Vietnamese, as well as the atmosphere of that era, are well-preserved in the city's older quarters. And, lest we forget, Hanoi is the face of yesteryear Southeast Asian communism to the Western World: Here is a city of defiance, the city of Ho Chi Minh and the Vietcong, and of "Hanoi Jane," where vestiges of the Vietnam War are still strewn about, albeit as mere relics of a bygone era.
Hanoi is home to roughly 6.5 million people. It is also home to millions of motorbikes and motor scooters (including motorbike taxis, the most popular form of transportation here!), as well as scores of museums and galleries, and hundreds of visitor attractions, making it an ideal tourist stop. In fact, in 2010, when Hanoi celebrated its 1,000th anniversary, it was chosen by travel gurus around the world as one of the top travel destinations, with Hanoi's hotels, restaurants and shopping venues offering the biggest bang for the buck.
Hanoi's principal airport is the Noi Bai International Airport, located approximately 40 kilometers (25 miles) north of central Hanoi in the Soc Son District of the city. Hanoi is also well-connected by rail from virtually all points in the country.

Peter Weyer (* 30. September 1879 in Düben; † 4. Juni 1947 in Frankfurt (Oder)) war ein deutscher General der Artillerie der Wehrmacht im Zweiten Weltkrieg.

Leben
Peter Weyer trat im März 1898 als Fähnrich in die Preußische Armee ein und wurde Ende 1899 Leutnant bei Fußartillerie-Regiment "General-Feldzeugmeister" (Brandenburgisches) Nr. 3. Er diente als Offizier im Ersten Weltkrieg und erhielt neben beiden Klassen des Eisernen Kreuzes das Ritterkreuz des Königlichen Hausordens von Hohenzollern mit Schwertern. Nach Ende des Krieges wurde er in die Reichswehr übernommen und wirkte dort als Kommandeur in verschiedenen Einheiten. Anfang November 1927 wurde er zum Oberstleutnant befördert.

Im Oktober 1930 wechselte er, im März 1930 zum Oberst befördert, in den Stab des Truppenübungsplatzes Jüterbog. Ende März 1933 wurde er im Rang eines Generalmajors verabschiedet, arbeitete fortan als Ausbildungsleiter für die Artillerie und wurde 1936 wieder aktiviert. In der Wehrmacht führte er von Oktober 1936 bis Juni 1940 als Kommandeur die 14. Infanterie-Division mit Einsatz beim Überfall auf Polen und im Westfeldzug. Anschließend wurde Weyer kurzzeitig Kommandierender General des XXVIII. Armeekorps, welches er im Oktober 1940 bereits an Mauritz von Wiktorin abgab. Er wurde Befehlshaber vom Wehrkreis X mit Sitz in Hamburg und war von Mai 1941 Befehlshaber für den Wehrkreis I mit Sitz in Königsberg. Ende Januar 1943 wurde er in die Führerreserve versetzt und am 31. März 1943 unter Verleihung des Deutschen Kreuzes in Silber aus dem aktiven Dienst verabschiedet.

1947 starb er in sowjetischer Gefangenschaft.

A Different Path: Nicole Gerten '15 Pays it Forward
Jack Barger Posted On December 4, 2019
The saying goes that if you find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn't lead anywhere.
University of Findlay alumna Nicole (Lahey) Gerten knows about obstacles and wants to make sure she helps other Oilers who might find themselves up against them when pursuing their own higher education.
Gerten's life was as "normal," by all intents and purposes, as everyone else's growing up in northwest Ohio. She was brought up in Findlay, thus finding comfort within its boundaries. That comfort played a part in her decision to enroll at the University as a high school graduate back in 2008, and, once she was on campus, the familiar feeling of "home" became immediately known to her. "I was happy with my decision to go to UF," she said. "I liked everything about it, really." At that time, she was interested in the nuclear medicine program and had plans of finding success on that path.
Then, one of those obstacles came. This particular hurdle, however, would be more aptly called an eventual blessing for Gerten, as she learned that she was pregnant in her second year of college. She chose what she knew would be the best plan for her at that time, and decided to leave the University to focus on having and raising her baby boy. Clearly, it was an uncertain time, not without anxiety. "I wasn't even sure what I would do," she said. "It's a little intimidating to actually say that you've dropped out of college."
But time, as it always does, marched on for Nicole, and before she could blink, her "baby" was two-years old. That's about the time she realized that she couldn't live a life without aspirations to better her future and that of her toddler son. After a conversation with a friend she hadn't seen in many years, she realized what she had to do–get back in school. "I knew from that conversation that I had to do what was needed to get back in," she recalled. "So, I started the process."
The process, as it turns out, was one that she remembers fondly as being "phenomenal." She contacted the bachelor's degree completion program at UF, and decided to resume her education online through UF, switching majors to business management. That decision, she said, was tough, but one that was made much easier by the schedule she was able to keep within the program. "It was a little difficult returning as a single mother," she said, "but the degree completion program helped tremendously. As a parent working full-time, the flexibility of being able to do assignments online when I could fit them in was incredible. They even regularly called and checked in with me. It was phenomenal."
Now, as an alumna with a career at Marathon Petroleum in Findlay, Gerten has been married since 2016, and has added two more little boys to her family. Having a one-year old, a two and a half-year old, and a, now, eight-year old, she said, makes things "extremely busy," but also regularly reminds her of how fortunate she is to be at this stage of her life. It's a reminder that serves a greater purpose, however, as Gerten has made it a point to regularly give back to the University that helped to afford her the life she currently enjoys.
Gerten was recently named the recipient of the Generation Orange Loyalty Trendsetter Award for five years of consecutive giving as a member of Generation Orange (graduates of UF up to 35 years of age). She said that harkening back to her struggles as a non-traditional student always serves to put things into perspective. "I may not yet be able to donate a lot, but it's so important to give back and help others," she explained. "I was struggling and trying to make a better life for myself and my son, and I know what it's like to need a hand. To me, it's a simple 'Why not?'"
Gerten offered some advice to those who might be struggling in life, both academically and more generally. "Everyone has their own timeframes in life," she said. "If you need to better your life, you have to do what it takes. For me it was just making a brighter future for me and my children by going back to UF."
Another bygone quote proposes that challenges are what make life interesting and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful. With the help of generous hearts like Nicole Gerten, future Oiler alumni can have that meaningful life and productive career, regardless of the barriers they might meet along the way.

Panaji – Mumbai : Mumbai based Highbar Technologies, an HCC group company and a SAP partner has enabled the Goa State Pollution Control Board (GSPCB) to go paperless with the implementation of SAP e-governance solutions.
Recently, Rajendra Arlekar, Minister of Environment and Forest had launched the new e-office in the presence of GSPCB chairman Jose Manuel Noronha and other board officials.
GSPCB's plan to have paperless governance came was accomplished by Highbar's e-portal "Sustainable Workflow Platform" through which all the approvals will be facilitated online. Post the deployment, GSPCB's entire office proceedings has become more efficient, governance is more transparent than before with no use of paper leading enabling smooth functioning without delays.
"By discarding the paper-based system we are also doing our part in saving trees from being cut as unnecessary paper use leads to wastage. We are thankful to team Highbar Technologies for their extensive support & handholding to make this dream project come live," added Noronha.
"SAP implementation at GSPCB is one of our successful ventures into the government vertical with great enthusiasm. Paving way for e-governance at the board comes as a true testimony to our practice of treating IT deployment as a business transformation initiative," said Satish Pendse, President Highbar Technologies.
"The Goa State Pollution Control Board's support has been very encouraging to achieve this remarkable feat. We are sure the deployment of SAP and this initiative will motivate other State Pollution Control Boards and government offices adopt a digital transformation journey," added Pendse.


The registration for the DFWC2014 is now open.
The 1st round will begin on November 2nd.
It will last 8 rounds with one map per round.
For the first 7 rounds each round will take 1 week.
The last map however will be played during the Christmas holidays and therefore last 2 whole weeks instead of one.
The website is updated over the next few days and still contains content errors.
One of the hdds of the 4e servers just died. Luckily we have RAID. I am currently backing up data. Later I'll have them swap the disk and everything should be fine again.
Update (2014-08-26 03:00): unfortunately the 2nd disk is about to fail, too. We will have them swapped one at a time and then upgrade to a newer model.
Update (2014-08-26 15:30): We did lose a server demo here and there but now all the defrag related data is safe. Instead of fixing the old server we are probably going to swap the machine for several smaller boxes.
Update (2014-08-27 16:50): We rented a comparable server to bridge the gap to the new server setup.
As many already know from the forum there will not be a DFWC in march. We do not have nearly enough maps to host it.
Acording to the survey we did last time the next reasonable date for the DFWC would be in October.
So if you are a mapper and want to be part of the DFWC mapping team. Now is your chance to come up with something over the summer.
It has been announced in the forum for some time now.
Now it's official. Walllingering is banned. Times that have been set using this bug will be removed.
As you might have noticed, we have a new entry in the navigation bar labeled "Wiki". In there you can find some hopefully useful articles which will be extended over time. For now only certain users have write privileges.

If you know me, you realize that I do not read Biblical fiction out of concern that I might add something fictional in one of my Bible studies. I teach a lot from memory, and I do not want Biblical fiction in my memories. I volunteered to review this before I really noticed it wasn't fantasy.
But I won't read more as far as I know. It confirmed my preconceptions. It's a violent, bloody book filled with rage and revenge. It may be realistic, but we have no way of knowing.
Scripturally, it's a mess. The tale is the death of Eli amd his boys, and the rise of Samuel as prophet. This book is full of quotes, footnoted. The vast majority are post-Samuel: Psalms, Isaiah, amd even from the New Testament. These blow the authenticity of this story.
It would be better, in my opinion, to write the same story as a true fantasy, using the same references. Then you could actually have the Holy Spirit and a Savior.
But I cannot recommend this book. It's a good story, but it's too compromised spiritually.

LONDON, 6 November 2018 – The prospects and the potential of the Astana International Financial Centre (AIFC) were the main topics of a business networking event organised by the British-Kazakhstan Society (BKS) and the AIFC, with the support of the Embassy of Kazakhstan in London.
The AIFC operates within a special legal regime based on English common law. The centre is a financial hub not only for Central Asia, but also for the wider Eurasian region.
The London event involved such prominent speakers as the Ambassador of Kazakhstan to the UK, Erlan Idrissov, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Astana Financial Services Authority, Lady Barbara Judge, Chief Private Banker of the AIFC Authority, Heiner Hartwich, and Deputy CEO of the Astana International Exchange (AIX), Amina Turgulova.
Mr. Idrissov noted that Kazakhstan has become the first country in the region to create an international financial hub based on common law, which is unique for the post-Soviet space. The Kazakh diplomat highlighted Kazakhstan's continuously improving investment climate, which has been confirmed by a recent World Bank Doing Business 2019 report, where Kazakhstan climbed eight positions, ranking 28th among 190 countries.
The event discussed the AIFC's role as one of the important financial components of the Belt and Road Initiative, the development of international private banking within the AIFC, the capital market growth on the back of the privatisation programme, the norms and practices that regulate the companies' activities within the AIFC and are aimed at increasing investor confidence, as well as major cooperation opportunities between the AIFC and British companies.
"What's interesting about the AIFC is that it will be a truly international financial centre, a place where people can come and do business no matter where they originate in the world. First, we have the law courts which apply English common law and are lead by British judges. Then we have the arbitration centre and the independent regulator which operate based on the best regulatory schemes around the world. All of this is aimed to ensure transparency and high level of regulation," said Lady Judge.
Among the advantages of the AIFC, she also mentioned a simplified visa regime, tax breaks for 50 years at both corporate and individual levels, as well as simplified procedures for starting and doing business.

Main Differences Between Shaved Ice and Snow Cone
But when it comes to something like Dessert, except for a few, most of the people love it.
Talking about desserts, how can one not mention ice-based desserts as those are one of the most popular forms of desserts. Shaved Ice and Snow Cone are two varieties of ice-based desserts and happen to be really popular all across the globe.
The difference between Shaved Ice and Snow Cone is that the former happens to be more of an original form of ice-based desserts and refers to a dish that originates out of crushed or shaved ice particles while that latter is just another form of Shaved Ice just with the difference of a cone or a cup. But his is not the only difference that lies. There are many more.
Shaved Ice, as the name itself, signifies refers to that form of ice-based desserts which takes place due to an ice cube being shaved or crushed into tiny [articles. After this crushing happens, this is poured with flavored syrup to make it taste more delicious.
This dish happens to be very popular all across the world with special popularity in countries like China and India.
While on the other hand, Snow Cone is nothing but a changed or altered form of the dessert mentioned above. It varies from Shaved Ice in terms of the ways in which it is kept and in terms of the methods of syrups being poured.
This dessert can be differentiated from the others as it is usually seen in a cup or a cone, and that is what makes it distinct from other of its family members.
Snow Cone
Meaning It is an ice-based dessert widely popular in countries like the United States and is made by shaving ice cubes into tiny pieces. It is a form of ice-based dessert and comes into existence when ice cubes are crushed into small particles.
Interrelation It is a predecessor to a snow cone. It is a successor to shaved ice.
Other names Hawaiian shaved ice, shaver, shaved snow, and fluffed ice. Sno-kones, sno-cones, snowball, and sno-ball.
Texture Soft Crunchy
Flavored syrup position This dessert absorbs the syrup poured onto it. This dessert does not absorb the syrup and lets it sit around it.
Ice-type It uses shaved ice with the help of an ice shaver It used crushed ice with the help of a crushing machine.
Usually found in Daily shops, street vendors Carnivals and festivals
Flavors offered Almost 30 to 40 flavors are offered by the makers. Only 5-10 flavors are found
Prepped in never prepped in advance usually prepped in advance
Shaved Ice, popularly termed as the Hawaiian Shaved Ice, is a very popular and intriguing form of ice-based desserts available all over the world. Hardly is there any country in the world that is unaware of this sweet and delicious, mouth-watering dish.
To make this, the makers take an ice cube and shave it into tiny particles with the help of an ice shaver. After being shredded, these particles are stuffed in the serving bowl, glass, or cup, and a sweet flavored or sour flavored syrup is poured upon it.
As the history of this dessert is traced back, it is said that around 27 BC, the Roma Emperor named Nero ordered his servants to fetch snow for him from the high-altitude areas.
He stuffed this snow in a container and poured honey over it. This is said to be the first example of Shaved Ice.
It carries a very soft and delicate texture and is never prepared in advance. When someone orders for it, it is served to the person.
A Snow Cone is nothing but an almost identical form of Shaved Ice except for the part of its origin, texture, and some other things. It is said that this dessert came into the limelight after the 1850s.
During that time, the truck drivers that used to carry ice for ice factories used to give out some of its scrapings to poor children. And with the passage of time, it turned into a fully grown dessert dish.
It is majorly popular in countries like India and Pakistan among children living in small villages. This dessert can be seen in normal streets and in festivals and carnivals too.
It is different from other similar desserts because it has a crunchy texture rather than a delicate one. Also, it is prepped before handed, and when an order comes, the only requirement that arises is to hand it over to the guest.
Shaved Ice is an ice-based dessert widely popular in countries like the United States and is made by shaving ice cubes into tiny pieces. Snow Cone is a form of ice-based dessert and comes into existence when ice cubes are crushed into small particles.
Shaved Ice is mostly known with other names like Hawaiian Shaved Ice, Shaved snow, and fluffed ice. While on the other hand, Snow Cone is known by names such as sno-kones, snow cones, and sno-ball.
Shaved Ice is never prepped in advance and is prepped when the order arrives. While the Snow Cone is usually prepped in advance and upon the receiving of an order, it just needs to be served.
Shaved Ice has a soft and delicate texture, while the Snow Cone has a really crunchy texture.
Shaved Ice is mostly sold in the daily dessert shops and by local vendors, while the Snow Cone is majorly found in carnivals and festivals.

Home / News / Government and Politics / Obama proposes tax incentive to hire workers
Obama proposes tax incentive to hire workers
By: The Associated Press	December 8, 2009	0
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama today proposed a tax incentive for small businesses that add workers, even as Congress struggles to figure out how such an idea would work.
Lawmakers have been working for several months to develop a tax credit for businesses that hire workers, but they have been unable to figure out how to do it in a way that won't be abused.
Neither Obama nor his top advisers offered details today. They didn't say how big the tax break would be nor how it would be administered. Obama pledged to work on the issue with Congress.
"I believe it's worthwhile to create a tax incentive to encourage small businesses to add and keep employees and I'm going to work with Congress to pass one," Obama said.
Congress is running out of time to pass a jobs package this year, and the process will be even more complicated if the administration doesn't come up with details. Moreover, the Senate is preoccupied with the health care debate, making any action less likely.
Obama's other tax proposals were more familiar to lawmakers. He proposed extensions and enhancements of several tax breaks that were part of the economic stimulus package passed in February, including enhanced tax write-offs for companies that buy new equipment.
Obama also proposed eliminating capital gains taxes on small business stock, if it is purchased in 2010 and held for at least five years, expanding a tax break enacted in the stimulus package.
Majority Democrats in Congress, wary of an unemployment rate that stands at 10 percent as they enter an election year, said they would work with Obama to pass a jobs bill.
Republicans said Democratic efforts to pass a new jobs bill shows the last stimulus package was ineffective.
"We need to give the private sector confidence with permanent, long-term tax relief and immediate steps to rein in our skyrocketing deficits," said Rep. Tom Price of Georgia, chairman of the Republican Study Committee. "Temporary tax relief won't overshadow the long-term concerns of anxious employers."
Some tax experts said it would be difficult to fashion a tax credit that efficiently provides an incentive to small businesses to add workers. Do you offer a tax break for simply increasing payroll, or do companies have to hire more workers? How long must companies keep the workers? How would the requirements be enforced?
"You're trying to subsidize people for doing things they wouldn't otherwise do, but we don't know what they would otherwise do," said Eugene Steuerle, a Treasury Department official in the Reagan administration who is now co-director of the Tax Policy Center, a Washington think tank.
John H. Bishop, an economist and a professor at Cornell University, has helped develop a proposal for a tax credit for companies that increase the amount of their payroll subject to Social Security taxes. Since only the first $108,600 of a worker's pay is subject to Social Security taxes, executives couldn't get the credit by giving themselves big bonuses, he said.
Some companies could get credits simply by raising the pay of existing workers, but that would help the economy, too, Bishop said. Bishop's proposal, modeled after a similar tax credit enacted in the 1970s, has been circulating on Capitol Hill for several months.
"It does exactly what we want," Bishop said. "It focuses on hiring Americans to work now."•

US-based scientists have come up with a sustainable way to harvest hydrogen fuel from biomass. Their new electrolytic approach can even release hydrogen from obstinate molecules like lignin and cellulose.
Although hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, it's so light that Earth's gravity cannot hold onto it. This is unfortunate, as molecular hydrogen also happens to be the cleanest fuel – burning in air to give just water and energy. Because only trace amounts exist in the atmosphere, most hydrogen fuel today is derived from fossil fuels, using processes called petroleum reforming and coal gasification. It can also be thermochemically extracted from biomass, using high temperatures and expensive catalysts. Other ways to harvest hydrogen from biomass are fermentation, electrolysis and photoelectrochemical conversion, but these methods cannot directly break down the fibrous lignin and cellulose found in wood and grass.
Now, Yulin Deng and his team at Georgia Tech have developed a low-temperature electrolytic technology that can harvest hydrogen fuel from nearly all types of biomass.
Energy & Environmental Science are delighted to announce that Professor Yang Shao-Horn joins the Editorial Board of the journal.
Yang Shao-Horn is W.M. Keck Professor of Energy at MIT. Her research is centered on the chemical physics of surfaces with emphasis on metal oxides, searching for descriptors of catalytic activity, and reactivity between oxides and ion conductors, wetting properties and ion transport, and design materials for solar fuel and batteries including electrochemical/photoelectrochemical water splitting and CO2 reduction, ion/electron storage, and ion conductors. Professor Yang's research includes extensive experimental components, including synthesis of well-defined surfaces and nanostructured materials, and investigation of processes at the surfaces/interfaces using electrochemical methods coupled with ex situ and in situ X-ray-based and electron-based spectroscopy. These experimental components are used in conjunction with Density Functional Theory computation efforts to develop new, physically based reaction mechanisms and design principles of materials. Professor Yang has published ~200 archival journal papers.
Energy Environ. Sci., 2016, 9, 176-183. DOI: 10.1039/C5EE03124A.

I've been attending San Diego Comic-Con for more than 20 years, but this was the first time I left the con in an ambulance.
I'm OK now. Though I might not be when I see the bill.
It started at lunchtime. We went to New Break, an independent coffee shop near Ralphs, which we'd been to before. They were offering samples of a blended peanut butter banana coffee drink, and while I really wanted to try their blended mint mocha, it was safer to skip something made on the same equipment.
What I decided on was a Mexican Mocha. Generally, these add cinnamon, maybe nutmeg or chili powder. I've had drinks with that and similar names, and Mexican hot chocolate, plenty of times. I didn't ask what was in it, but I had just told them I was allergic to peanuts when I decided to skip the blended drink.
I considered getting it iced, but there was some confusion as to what was included in the lunch deal, so I got it hot instead. That turned out to be a wise decision, since I probably would have started out chugging a few ounces of a cold drink.
Two sips in, the back of my throat and my lips started tingling — a bad sign. I stopped, flagged over one of the baristas, and asked whether there were any nuts in the drink. She didn't think so, but said she'd check.
I pulled out my emergency kit, took my Benadryl and Pepcid, and set my Epi-Pen on the table in case it progressed. I probably should have just taken it right then, but who wants to spend the afternoon in the emergency room instead of Comic-Con?
Meanwhile, the coffee shop staff had been unable to find ingredients for the mix, and had to call the owner to confirm that yes, there were peanuts in it.
Over the next hour, it felt like the reaction was under control, so I figured we could return to the convention center. Unfortunately, anaphylaxis can take several hours to run its course, and medication can wear off before it does.
It started out fine. We walked past the outdoor Axe Cop display. I took a photo of the Despicable Me Minion blimp. We crossed the tracks, pushed through the crowds, and made our way inside to the nearest elevator.
But somewhere along the line my stomach started cramping up, and I started feeling light-headed. As we crossed Sails Pavilion, I started really hoping we'd make it across before I passed out so that I could fall on carpet instead of concrete.
Outside Ballroom 20 we stopped and asked one of the staff if there was a place I could lie down because I wasn't feeling well. A lot of that hallway is set aside for lines, or has sitting/standing banned for fire reasons. She directed me to the stroller parking enclosure. Katie took J off to the day care (conveniently, we'd already scheduled it for the afternoon) while I tried — and failed — to relax.
At this point the timeline gets a little fuzzy. I remember staring up at the glass roof, watching the minion blimp float overhead. I remember my hands and feet going numb, and asking Katie to jab me with the Epi-Pen because I wasn't sure I had the grip strength. I remember my ears going numb at one point, which really scared me, and shortly after the shot, my ribs.
I don't recall being afraid I'd stop breathing per se. I was afraid I'd pass out, and I was afraid something would get worse while I was unconscious.
I remember convention staff, onsite first aid, and paramedics. I remember giving my name and symptoms repeatedly, trying to correct the overall timeline in a couple of cases. I distinctly remember one of the paramedics looking like Terry O'Quinn (Locke from Lost). They gave me oxygen and a tube with asthma medication to breathe through.
It turned out at least some of the numbness wasn't from the blood pressure spikes & troughs of anaphylaxis, but from hyperventilating. Now I wonder if, had I managed to control my breathing early on, I might have been able to just spend a few hours at the onsite first aid station instead.
Eventually they helped me into a wheelchair and wheeled me out through the service corridors that only staff and celebrities normally see. Katie remarked that one of the actors she'd seen had talked about the big freight elevator they took us down. Then we were out in the back of the convention center, where they loaded me onto an ambulance and took me to the hospital.
The last time I went to the ER for an allergic reaction, they interviewed me and sent me back to the waiting room. But that time, I walked in under my own power after a co-worker drove me there. This time, I was carried in on a stretcher from an ambulance.
I ended up spending the next few hours under observation, hooked up to various monitors, repeating the story to each new category of staff, tech, nurse, and doctor. The ambulance drivers offered Katie a ride back to the convention center so she could pick up J, though after a while we decided that it would be simpler if they stayed at the con and I met them there.
For a while, I hoped I could make it back while the convention floor was still open, especially when the doctor declared at 4:30 that it looked like they'd only need to keep me for another hour. Unfortunately I didn't walk out until 6:20, and by the time I'd called a cab, waited for it, and taken the ride back to the convention center, it was just after 7:00, the floor was closed, and people were streaming into the Gaslamp District for dinner.
I seriously thought about going to see the Flashpoint Paradox premiere. Not because I desperately wanted to see the movie a week early, but because they were going to have a discussion afterward, and because damn it, I'd missed the entire afternoon of the con (including the pickup time for the DC exclusive for which I'd gotten one of the last wristbands that morning). But 15 minutes usually isn't early enough to get into line for a Ballroom 20 presentation, I was exhausted from the allergic reaction and medication, I hadn't seen J since before going to the hospital or Katie since shortly after check-in, and I basically hadn't eaten anything since breakfast.
We ended up going out for a simple dinner and heading back to the hotel, where I went to bed early and got the best night of sleep of the whole trip.

Q: Lock screen after starting up Ubuntu I have my "Main" account and "Guest Session" account on my Ubuntu 16.04. I have my Main account password protected. So when I lock account password is needed to open it. But the issue is when PC is turned off and restarted it enters "Main" account immediately without prompting the password first. Why is that so, if my account has password protection? How can I force my Ubuntu to ask password on start up?

A: As Zina pointed out, "Automatic Login" is probably enabled.
For full documentation here are the steps to perform.
Click on the gear in the top right corner of the screen.
Go to "System Settings" then "User Accounts".
Click on your user.
You will see a slider labeled "Automatic Login".
Set the slider to "OFF".
If you cannot, it is probably because you need to unlock the panel in order to act as the system administrator. You need to click on the "Unlock" button and provide your user password.
You now should be able to switch the slider to "OFF".

JEAN TWENGE GENERATION ME PDF
About The Book In this provocative and newly revised book, headline-making psychologist Dr. The children of the Baby Boomers are not only feeling the effects of the recession and the changing job market—they are affecting change the world over. Now, in this new edition of Generation Me, Dr. Twenge uses data from 11 million respondents to reveal shocking truths about this generation, including dramatic differences in sexual behavior and religious practice, and controversial predictions about what the future holds for them and society as a whole. Her often humorous, eyebrow-raising stories about real people vividly bring to life the hopes, disappointments, and challenges of Generation Me. Contrast this to past decades, when men wore ties most of the time and women did not leave the house without crisp white gloves and a tight girdle.
Author: Tobei Kazralkis
Country: Bangladesh
Uploader: Malajinn
This book speaks of the lives of a particular generation of people, whom Twenge calls as Generation Me. She considers the people after s as belonging to this GenMe group. About the Author : Dr. Jean Twenge is a contemporary author, speaker and a professor of psychology. She has written hundreds of scientific articles, journals, and books chapters.
About the book : In this book of psychology, the author puts an assertion that the GenMe people are more confident, tolerant, and open-minded than their previous generations; but still are disengaged, distrustful, and narcissistic, living a miserable life. She states that this generation holds the highest self-esteem but also the most depression.
According to her, they are deprived of their needs and their expectations are crushed by the realities of life. The author presents her views about this generation of youngsters. She argues that they are highly expectant in their ambitions and dreams, nevertheless, ultimately succumbing to the reality. This generation particularly shows more sense of anxiety and cynicism in their thoughts, which becomes the reason for their depressive states.
According to the author, the GenMe is unrealistic of their expectations in life and are more self-centered. The reason behind this attitude can be traced to the cultural and social forces influencing them in various ways.
The outcome of such attitude is obsession towards materialism and body-piercing tattoos. It also leads to increased adolescence issues. The author emphasizes the fact that this generation is starving for love and affection. The GenMe fails to realize that the lifestyle of Baby Boomers — though not exciting — is a stable and less-depressing one.
They lack warm interpersonal relations, easy-to-reach neighbors, and a solid family life. Overall, Twenge suggests on improving this generation and mentions how the generation has to be actually dealt with. Even though her thoughts are exaggerating the current generation as a destructive one, she does it in a less positive manner.
She tries to bring a thoughtful influence on her GenMe readers to look forward to the lifestyle of their previous generations and learn from them. Incoming search terms:.

Controlling cercospora leaf spot remains a priority for sugarbeet farmers
"It still is the most important problem faced by growers in North Dakota and Minnesota," said Mohamed Khan, North Dakota and University of Minnesota sugarbeet specialist.
Written By: Ann Bailey | 5:30 am, Jan. 13, 2022
In June 2021, researchers inoculated sugar beets in research trials with cercospora leaf spot disease spores. They were just beginning to show symptoms on July 16, 2021. Photo taken July 16, 2021, at Foxhome, Minnesota. Mikkel Pates / Agweek
WEST FARGO, N.D. — Cercospora leaf spot remains a formidable sugarbeet disease and one that farmers must control, university Extension experts told farmers at the Sugarbeet Research and Reporting Session.
The disease, which affects sugarbeet plants during the growing season, is spread by wind, water and insects.
The sugarbeet disease, which has potential to trim yields as much as 40% and reduces quality, results in major monetary losses and also decreases the storability of the crop, said Peter Hakk, NDSU and U of M sugarbeet specialist.
For example in 2016, cercospora leaf spot resulted in more than $140 million in sugarbeet losses in North Dakota and Minnesota, Hakk said.
Khan and Hakk were among several speakers who presented research at the 52nd annual sugarbeet reporting session. The session held Jan. 11, 2022, in West Fargo, was sponsored by NDSU and U of M Extension and the Sugarbeet Research and Education boards of Minnesota and North Dakota.
The research reporting sessions provided information about studies on sugarbeet disease, insect and fertilizer topics that affect growers who produce crops for American Crystal Sugar Co., based in Moorhead, Minnesota, Minn-Dak Famers Cooperative in Wahpeton, North Dakota, and Southern Minnesota Beet Sugar Cooperative in Renville, Minnesota.
Cercospora leaf spot, which thrives during warm, humid and rainy weather, is characterized by circular spots that are about one-eighth to three-sixteenth of an inch in diameter. The spots' centers range in color from light to dark tan and the borders from dark brown to reddish purple, according to NDSU Extension. The leaf blades, veins and petioles of plants that have cercospora leaf spot also may have elliptical lesions.
Leaf spots typically develop from five to 21 days after infection, depending on the amount of inoculum, temperature and duration of wet period.
Cercospora control requires a holistic approach which includes crop rotation, planting tolerant sugarbeet varieties and spraying a mixture of fungicides, Khan said.
Triphenyltin hydroxide or another triazole should be used with other mode of actions such as ethylene bisdithiocarbamate, or two multi-site fungicides in each application, Khan said.
Research shows that the mixtures of fungicide effectively control cercospora leaf spot and result in an acceptable level of recoverable sugar when rain didn't wash them off, Khan told farmers.
DeMethylation Inhibitors, commonly called DMIs, performed best when tank-mixed with certain "partners," Hakk said. Besides mancozeb and copper, potential partners include phosphite, sulfur and biologicals.
Development of resistance to DMI from tank mixing with partners is being evaluated, Hakk said.
Using proven disease tolerant varieties, meanwhile, reduces fungicide use and provides high recoverable sucrose if fungicide application becomes an issue, Khan said.

It gives me great pleasure to welcome Dr G Satheesh Reddy, Secretary, Department of Defence R&D and Chairman, Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) to the VIF for today's Vimarsh talk on 'DRDO's Achievements in Defence Indigenization'.
By conducting a successful Anti Satellite Test Mission-Shakti on 27th March 2019, DRDO and its team of scientists and engineers have made every Indian proud. Our heartiest congratulations to the DRDO for this sterling achievement.
Dr G. Satheesh Reddy is well known for his significant contributions towards indigenous design, development and deployment of a wide range of tactical and strategic missile systems to attain complete self-sufficiency in these areas. He initiated several new projects to equip Armed forces with state-of-the-art weapons and technologies.
As Scientific Advisor to Raksha Mantri, Dr Reddy contributed significantly towards the formulation of many national policies, and was pivotal in evolving a roadmap for self-sufficiency in missiles. As Director General, Missiles and Strategic Systems, he spearheaded the Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Missile Complex Laboratories which includes Advanced Systems Laboratory, Defence Research & Development Laboratory and Research Centre Imarat. He invigorated the Ballistic Missile Defence (BMD) programme and developed the mission critical technologies for Long Range Agni-5 missile.
Dr Reddy graduated in Electronics and Communication Engineering from JNTU, Anantapur and received his M.S & Ph.D. degrees from JNTU Hyderabad. He joined the Defence Research and Development Laboratory (DRDL), Hyderabad in the year 1986 and subsequently worked in Research Centre Imarat (RCI), the brainchild of Dr Kalam, after its formation. He holds the distinction of being the Fellow of Royal Institute of Navigation (FRIN), London, Royal Aeronautical Society, UK (FRAeS) and Foreign Member of the Academy of Navigation & Motion Control, Russia. For his distinguished contributions, Dr Satheesh has received several prestigious international and national awards.
Dear Friends, seventy percent of our Armed Force's requirement are still imported. Dependence on imports of defence equipment constitutes a national security vulnerability. Indigenization of defence production is the need of the hour. The ASAT test conducted by DRDO scientists has once again highlighted the organisations tremendous contribution towards indigenization of defence technologies and production. The DRDO has made great contribution in developing high technologies and strategic systems for the defence of the country. India is today self-reliant in its need for different kinds of missiles, radars, electro-magnetic weapon systems, sonars, torpedoes, communication system. Prithvi, Agni, Akash, Nag and Brahmos missiles made by DRDO are today household names. This is largely due to the efforts of the DRDO. India is one of the four nations to have a successful BMD capability. In recent years, indigenously made Arjun Tank and Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) Tejas have been inducted in the armed forces. DRDO has been successful in helping create an ecosystem of defence technology in the country. Many of India's leading academic institutions are working with DRDO. Nearly 1200 industries are producing products for DRDO's programmes.
High profile achievement notwithstanding, there have been some gap as well, particularly, in the making of arms, ammunition, detector and platform. Indeed, India cannot rest on its past laurels. Much more needs to be done. The needs of the armed forces are growing. Large scale programmes in hypersonic missiles, UCAVs, long range radars, robotic systems etc. are needed. The country's needs in arms and ammunition also have to be met. New technologies like artificial intelligence, machine learning and big data analytic need to be mastered. The country has to absorb the ongoing industry 4.0 revolution. Clearly DRDO, industry and academia have to work together in a collaborative mode to master these technologies and produce new products. India will also need to pay attention to overhauling its science, technology, engineering, mathematics education and innovation.
We could not have had a batter person than Dr Satheesh Reddy to talk about DRDO's achievements and the future direction of its work.
I invite Dr Reddy to deliver his talk.
