Международный союз общественных организаций книголюбов (МСК) — международная общественная организация, включающая региональные организации России, Азербайджана, Литвы, Казахстана и Молдовы. Правопреемник советского Всесоюзного добровольного общества любителей книги (ВОК).

История
С мая по октябрь 1974 года состоялись областные и краевые конференции, съезды республиканских обществ любителей книги, на которых было избрано 570 делегатов Учредительного съезда ВОК. Съезд прошёл в начале октября, утвердил Устав, избрал Центральное правление (115 человек).

Целью Общества было «пропагандировать среди трудящихся книгу как средство формирования коммунистического общественного сознания, содействовать с её помощью распространению политических, научных и технических знаний, повышать культуру чтения, активно влиять на формирование читательских вкусов, оказывать содействие совершенствованию издательского дела, распространению и наиболее эффективному использованию книжных богатств».

К 1979 году число индивидуальных членов Общества достигло 10 миллионов человек, к 1984 году — 16 миллионов, к 1989 году — 19 миллионов.

На IV съезде ВОК (1989) принято новое название организации — Всесоюзное общество «Книга».

В мае 1992 года состоялся внеочередной съезд ВОК, в котором участвовало 117  делегатов от 8 республик. Организация была преобразована в Международное сообщество книголюбов.

В октябре 1993 года МСК провело Международный прогресс в защиту книги, подготовка к которому под эгидой ЮНЕСКО велась ещё с 1987 года.

В мае 1997 года состоялась конференция МСК, принявшая новый Устав и новое название — Международный союз общественных объединений книголюбов.

Girls throughout the globe want sure vanities to really feel empowered and confident as a woman of stature. Predominantly, a cultured designer handbag is the usual accessory to extend these advantages to females of today's fashionable society. Although men additionally put on handbags, girls are more earnest in the case of valuing these vanities. Conversely, all handbags serve the same purpose, but designer handbags are the trendiest class for a lady to brandish. Compared to the sooner years, when designer purses just surfaced the market, the kinds considerably showed some similarities, however at this time's versions are merely thoughts-blowing. Spending a day to go looking for a designer handbag is a fancy activity, since many choices are there to judge, if one's purpose is to purchase the best purse.
Beautiful and fanciful, this watch draws the attention with its design of fluttering butterflies with Swarovski crystal accents. These crystals also adorn the round silver tone bezel, which helps showcase the white, purple, or black dial. The black, crimson, or purple strap comes with a silver tone buckle clasp.
It used to be that maids would normally be single, however today it really is not so important. With this in thoughts, pretty reward baskets, filled with exotic massage oils, ?how you can? manuals and scented candles and soaps, may be just the factor for her to get pleasure from, with or with out her significant different, after the rush of the marriage. Some present baskets have toweling robes ? with initials embroidered on ? and slippers to finish the entire ?spa? style basket and can be a good way to point out appreciation.


Carbon monoxide is suitable fuel for gasoline engines. The output power is about 50% of that generated with gasoline fuel.
Carbon monoxide is not suitable fuel for diesel engines with precombustion chamber; only direct injection diesel engines and gasoline engines qualify.
When driving a vehicle equipped with a wood gas system the changes in required power output must be noted in advance: start of driving must be done slowly and hills must be climbed using a low gear. The idling speed is high, often more than 1400 r/min. Gas production is not even all the time and the speed of the engine can vary up to 20%. The system works best when the engine speed stays the same all the time. The driver must control the mixture and move the hearth every now and then to make the generator work properly.
The quality of the gas generated depends on the type of fuel used. Chopped firewood and large sized wood chips provide a reliable process but the power output is less than that with small sized wood chips. Small sized wood chips generate great amounts of gas with good quality but malfunctions can occur easily and special arrangements are needed to prevent the hearth from clogging and arch forming in combustion chamber. Other fuels, for example pellets made of sod or straw, can possibly generate gas with very good quality but a lot of ash is produced and it melts in relatively low temperature which can cause problems.
The fuel consumption depends on the required power output, size of the wood particles, moisture content of the fuel and dimensions of the generator.
The drier the fuel is the better it suits the gas generating process. Totally dry wood is not possible to use in practice and therefore the equipment is designed to use wood with a moisture content of 10 - 20%. Even fuel with a moisture content of 30% burns but the power output is decreased and risk of arch formation is high. Temperature in the combustion chamber is lower and the gas contains tar which makes the inlet valves of the engine to stick. A gas generator that uses wood chips as the fuel needs a movable hearth. This can be constructed using for example a windshield wiper motor. The smaller the size of the wood chips, the more ash and charcoal dust is produced. The hearth must move vertically to keep the charcoal layer loose, suction resistance low and impurity content in the gas low.
The gas generating equipment is simple and can be easily manufactured using common tools and materials. The only special material is the woven glass fabric used in the gas filter. When steel with good quality is used the lifetime of the parts is longer.
The other dimensions are not critical.
When installing the equipment on a vehicle the generator should be installed as close to the engine as possible to keep the suction resistance as low as possible. The generator and other equipment must be installed so that the visibility is reasonable.


Rising Tiger juniors Scott Firth and Richie Shaffer were both named to the Cape Cod League All-Star team, announced last week by Commissioner Paul Galop. Clemson joined Stony Brook as the only two schools to place multiple members on the 25-man team.
Firth, a righthander from Buffalo Grove, IL, was 3-1 with a 1.88 ERA and .218 opponents' batting average in 43.1 innings pitched over nine starts with Hyannis. He allowed just 32 hits with 33 strikeouts and pitched in the Cape Cod League All-Star game on July 29.
Shaffer, an infielder from Charlotte, NC, hit .263 with 21 runs, 11 doubles, two triples, six homers, 22 RBIs, and 16 walks in 36 games with Chatham. He also hit for the cycle in Chatham's 10-4 win over Cotuit on June 17 and won the home run derby at Fenway Park prior to the Cape Cod League All-Star game on July 29.


Donald J. Trump believes he can bully and bribe companies into keeping jobs in America. Shortly after his election, he "persuaded" Carrier, an Indianapolis division of United Technologies, to refrain from exporting 700 jobs to Mexico. Meanwhile, Rexnord, a maker of bearings and ball bearings also in Indianapolis, announced its decision to move 300 jobs to Monterrey, Mexico. Trump, of course, expected that after a tweet or two, Rexnord, a tiny company, would quickly capitulate. Not happening.
The most powerful man in the world is getting a rude awakening about corporate power. Rexnord is thumbing its nose at the president by actually moving every one of those jobs...and the bully-in-chief can't stop them. Why is that?
1. Trump is trumped by financial strip-mining.
Rexnord is moving for obvious reasons: The new Mexican workers will make $3 an hour while the Indianapolis workers make $25 an hour. But the real motivation for moving stems from Wall Street's favorite pastime—stripping a company of its wealth through stock buybacks.
To please demanding financiers, Rexnord, in 2015, agreed to buy back $300 million of its own stock. By going into the market to buy its own shares, the price of the stock rises, thereby enriching these hedge fund investors virtually overnight. (Nineteen hedge funds hold about $200 million in Rexnord stock.) The stocks rise because 1) the act of buying large amounts of them in the open market bids up their price; and 2) the company's total earnings are now spread over fewer shares.
The move to Mexico isn't just about profits; it's about financing the stock buybacks.
2. Trump's deregulation agenda empowers the financial strip-miners.
From the New Deal until 1982, stock buybacks were virtually outlawed. They were considered a dangerous form of stock manipulation—a leading cause of the 1929 Wall Street crash.
During the Reagan administration, stock buybacks were legalized and financial strip-mining took off with a vengeance. Trump's deregulatory mantra means stock buybacks will continue unabated as will the pressure to move jobs to low-wage areas.
3. Trump ignores (or is clueless) about the massive extent of financial strip-mining.
4. Trump doesn't dare challenge how CEOs are paid.
Not only do hedge funds profit from financial strip-mining, they are aided and abetted by corporate executives who often derive more than 90 percent of their pay from stock incentives. As a result, CEOs run their companies with only one goal in mind—raise the price of the stock.
With those incentives in place, Rexnord executives could care less about Trump's tweets. They are moving to Mexico to fund the stock buybacks that enrich the value of their own stock incentives.
5. Trump's administration is loaded with Goldman Sachs strip-miners.
Trump's economic advisors, nearly all produced by Wall Street, could care less about Rexnord moving to Mexico. After all, they grew fabulously rich by financing such moves, pressing companies for stock buybacks and profiting from trade deals. Rexnord knows that Trump's economic team has no interest at all in limiting the stock buyback scam.
6. Trump can bully immigrants but not Wall Street.
It is frightening to see Trump unleash ICE on powerless immigrants, but bend over backward to placate financial elites. A bully attacks the weak and cowers before the powerful.
To repeat, stock buybacks are how Wall Street makes money in a hurry—money that is squeezed out of the workforce by shifting jobs to lower-wage areas. Wall Street will not tolerate any interference in the way it strip-mines companies. And Trump knows it.
Working people will soon know it as well. The Rexnord workers once believed Trump would come to their rescue, especially after he supposedly saved 700 jobs at Carrier just up the road. He didn't and they no longer do.
Millions more voted for Trump because they believed he would save their jobs from a similar fate. But as financial strip-mining continues unabated, these workers will learn that President Trump is not president of Wall Street. Their jobs will be sacrificed on the altar of stock buybacks. You can't tweet away financial strip-mining.
Neither Donald Trump, nor even Bernie Sanders, can stop financial strip-mining on their own. It's a powerful process that has been in motion for nearly 40 years. To reverse the runaway inequality it creates will require nothing short of a dedicated mass movement, the likes of which we haven't seen for more than a generation.
The struggle against royal power which was replaced by the power of a new constitutional democracy.
The battle against slave power which through a civil war was replaced by power of free labor.
The battle against corporate power which was tamed by government regulation and union/worker power on the job.
The fourth great battle is happening right now: It's the battle against financial power, with the outcome very much in doubt.
These previous victories, always partial with battles still ongoing, were not the result of spontaneous uprisings. They required vision, leadership, education, organization, and mass involvement. Each required a sustained effort over many decades.
Today we need to relearn the art of building mass movements like those created by the abolitionists, the Populists, the labor movement, and the civil rights movement.
To make any progress at all against financial power, we must come out of our issue silos and join together in a common movement. We need to recognize that the financial strip-mining of our society negatively impacts nearly every issue we care about. We need to recognize that the battle against financial power and the runaway inequality it creates, links us together.
Is such a mass effort emerging right now as tens of thousands of people take to the streets and come together in town hall meetings all over the country? Perhaps. But only if these disparate resistance efforts coalesce into a powerful unified movement to take back our country from the power of finance. We have no choice but to try.

A Crisp adidas Gazelle OG in Triple Black
By Mohamed Abdihakim
Gazelle Triple Black: in stealth mode
The adidas Gazelle is one of the brand's most successful pieces. Like other Three Stripes models, it also has a history with RUN DMC.
In 1986, the shoe gains major popularity via the brand's partnership with the hip-hop group. And now, we see the adidas Gazelle OG in Triple Black.
In addition to being a popular choice, Triple Black is a versatile scheme. You can wear pretty much anything with a pair of All-Black Gazelle's.
This OG model features leather as the base material. Though the whole shoe is in Black, we do see Gazelle printed in Gold font.
adidas Gazelle OG Triple Black
The original adidas Gazelle was released more than three decades ago. The fact is that up to this day, there is no such thing as "one" single and only adidas Gazelle.
It is all due to the fact that adidas had multiple licensing deals all over the world, something that basically meant that most of the times there were several different versions of the same model. However, and even so, history says that the first ever adidas Gazelle was released back in 1966.
The shoe was originally based upon the 'Rom' a silhouette that was created for the 1964 Rome Summer Olympic Games. Needless to say, it became a favorite of the German Olympic team mostly due to its incredible (at the time) technical specs.
Long story short, during the following decades the Gazelle appeared randomly with some of adidas' collections and yearly releases. Fast forward a few more years and in 1991, the "new" adidas Gazelle appeared.
The model was all the same one with the only difference being its bulkier shape. So, considering that, what we see now (in most releases) is, in fact, an updated version of 1991 original, and not of the 1966 OG.
You can find the adidas Gazelle OG in Triple Black available right now.

CCP-BPF: Today prepare the future of the country
18.02.2012 Category: NewsAuthor: admin
Kiravintstva Conservative Christian Party BPF adopted an appeal to the nation on the occasion of the Day of Freedom, in which it called on to join the movement, "Elections without Lukashenko."

Sam Jones East N.C. Sweet Heat
Sam Jones BBQ
$7.00 for 17.25oz at Sam Jones BBQ
Water, Distilled Vinegar, Sugar, Hot Sauce, Tomato Paste, Spices, Corn Syrup, Salt, Modified Food Starch, Soybean Oil, Spices, Artificial Color
Sam Jones comes from a family that's practically barbecue royalty in North Carolina—his grandfather's spot, Skylight Inn, has come to be known at "The Capitol of Barbecue," and even has a fitting capitol dome on the building. It all started for the Jones family in 1947 when Pete Jones, at the age of 17, began smoking whole hogs at his restaurant in Ayden, NC. Skylight Inn got a boost in notoriety in 1979 when National Geographic dubbed its barbecue as some of the best in the country in the book Back Roads America. It wasn't long after that until Skylight Inn became a destination, getting big names such as President Regan and Vice President Bush to travel there for a taste of their Eastern NC barbecue. Pete passed away in 2006, but Skylight Inn kept churning out whole hogs under the hands of Pete's son Bruce, nephew Jeff, and grandson Sam. In 2015, Sam started taking his own path by opening Sam Jones BBQ in Winterville, NC, which stills continues the whole hog tradition, but also expands on both the meats and sides available.
A nose tingling mixture of tart vinegar and hot pepper are what greet you upon first whiff of this sauce. It certainly delivers on the "heat" portion of its name, but in the aroma, the "sweet" component isn't prevalent. There are undertones of acidic tomato and onion powder to create additional complexity to the otherwise familiar Eastern North Carolina aroma.
This rusty red sauce is very smooth and had a glossy sheen to it. It's semi-opaque and easy to see a plethora of spices coming in a wide variety of sizes and mainly black and red colors. The sauce has a very thin thickness and watery consistency, which has it falling off of a suspended spoon almost all at once. No sauce is really left clinging to the silverware, just a few spice specs here and there.
The very first taste of the sauce is quite neutral, but very quickly a light sweetness comes into play. That flavor is fleeting though as vinegar first balances the sugar, then overtakes it to become the primary trait. As the sauce settles on the tongue and the tartness amplifies, a light tomato taste comes out followed by an earthy pepper that releases a mild heat. Like the vinegar, that spiciness increases as it settles in, becoming pretty spicy by the time the sauce exits the mouth, leaving a tongue tingling mixture of vinegar and pepper as the aftertaste.
This sauce coated the chicken in a very thin layer that looked like mostly spices at first, but picked up a light orange hue after a few brushings. It baked down well over indirect heat, and then saw minimal caramelization and no sauce loss over direct heat. Despite the light looks of the sauce, there was more flavor than expected. The chicken had a nice tang to it and a pleasant heat that was more subdued than out of the jar thanks to a slight bump in sweetness. The natural flavor of chicken came through quite well, being enhanced by the vinegar, heat, and earthiness of the sauce.
Eastern North Carolina barbecue sauces always present a conundrum for me because they aren't meant to function on the grill like a tomato-based sauce, but I also strive to give each sauce the exact same review treatment, even if I know that sets some up for failure in specific scenarios. So I was expecting for me to write up about how good this sauce was out of the jar, but that it wasn't meant for grilling with, which is why I was a left a bit shocked that the sauce really did well in both instances. I'm not going to say to go out and use this sauce for all your grilling needs, but at least with a light meat, like chicken, it definitely added a really nice flavor after being cooked. Of course, you're going to get the most bang for your buck using this sauce in its raw state, especially on pulled pork, where its tang, spice, and light sweetness serve as exemplary Eastern North Carolina flavors and will give you one of the truest tastes of this sauce tradition you'll find.

Cara Delevingne Launches Exclusive Balmain Bag
by Gretty Garcia
Cara Delevingne has swiftly gone from friend and muse of the house of Balmain to a key designer and informant of the latest guard of the brand's accessories. The British powerhouse not only worked on Balmain's latest launch–a trio of handbags named BBag, Romeo, and Twist–but also helped manifest a trio of short interactive films that leads participants through a series of choices that reflect the campaign's emphasis on troublemaking movers and shakers of the world.
"Of course, the videos had to focus on Cara," mediated Olivier Rousteing. "And, it's not just because she collaborated on the design of the bags. Cara is the star because it's clear to everyone that she is the embodiment of the Balmain rebelle—the self-assured troublemaker with an invigorating, new type of rebellious spirit. Cara reflects the strong and confident attitude of the women of my generation, women who are not content to simply push back-instead, they revel in pushing forward, (while making sure to push every single button along the way). This is Cara's first design collaboration with the house and her second Balmain campaign this year—and I am certain that we have many more adventures ahead of us!"
Indeed, the innate symbiotic relationship between Delevingne and Rousteing and their dedication to the independent modern Balmain woman is reflected in each bag. Case in point? The BBag is a combination of a traditional silhouette with an added touch of luxe gold hardware, the Romeo exudes chic punk attitude with ornate spikes and studs, and the Twist pays homage to Balmain's martial origins.

The BBag is available for purchase now for $1750, while the Twist and Romeo are slated to drop mid-July.

Spotify in the U.S.A.
SPOTIFY IS COMING (MAYBE): Hot on the heels of the European-only subscription service's denial of an Apple takeover comes word that Spotify is "closer than ever" to signing licensing agreements with the Big Four. The tipping point occurred when Spotify offered "big money advances" to the labels, CNET News.com reported. The service, which has drawn raves from the few Yanks who've actually played with it, had earmarked its U.S. launch by the end of the year, but negotiations with the labels have dragged on for months prior to this reported movement. According to CNET's sources, some label execs no longer have faith in ad-supported online services and are skeptical of Spotify's ability to convert subscribers of its free service to a premium tier, an ongoing issue on the other side of the pond. Thus, the majors are looking for big bucks upfront. (10/28p)

Throwback Video: Prof J.H Nketia talks about documenting Ghana's verbal arts
By Michael Klugey
Prof Emeritus Joseph Hanson Kwabena Nketia spent a greater part of his life documenting and teaching the world Ghana's music and arts.
Celebrated as one of the pioneers of music on the African continent, the musicologist, who passed away recently, left behind more than 200 publications and 80 musical compositions.
Africa's premier musicologist passed away on Wednesday, March 13 at 97. His death was confirmed at the Legon Hospital in Accra.
Here is a rare video of the renowned music professor talking to Ella Griffin about his work documenting Ghana's verbal arts.
This clip is taken from a television programme on literacy in Ghana made by UNESCO spearheaded by Griffin in 1964.

Description: Possible CSF malignancy. This is an 83-year-old woman referred for diagnostic lumbar puncture for possible malignancy by Dr. X. The patient has gradually stopped walking even with her walker and her left arm has become gradually less functional. She is not able to use the walker because her left arm is so weak.
REASON FOR VISIT: This is an 83-year-old woman referred for diagnostic lumbar puncture for possible malignancy by Dr. X. She is accompanied by her daughter.
HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient' daughter tells me that over the last month the patient has gradually stopped walking even with her walker and her left arm has become gradually less functional. She is not able to use the walker because her left arm is so weak. She has not been having any headaches. She has had a significant decrease in appetite. She is known to have lung cancer, but Ms. Wilson does not know what kind. According to her followup notes, it is presumed non-small cell lung cancer of the left upper lobe of the lung. The last note I have to evaluate is from October 2008. CT scan from 12/01/2009 shows atrophy and small vessel ischemic change, otherwise a normal head CT, no mass lesion. I also reviewed the MRI from September 2009, which does not suggest normal pressure hydrocephalus and shows no mass lesion.
Blood tests from 11/18/2009 demonstrate platelet count at 132 and INR of 1.0.
MAJOR FINDINGS: The patient is a pleasant and cooperative woman who answers the questions the best she can and has difficulty moving her left arm and hand. She also has pain in her left arm and hand at a level of 8-9/10.
VITAL SIGNS: Blood pressure 126/88, heart rate 70, respiratory rate 16, and weight 95 pounds.
I screened the patient with questions to determine whether it is likely she has abnormal CSF pressure and she does not have any of the signs that would suggest this, so we performed the procedure in the upright position.
PROCEDURE: Lumbar puncture, diagnostic (CPT 62270).
PREOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS: Possible CSF malignancy.
POSTOPERATIVE DIAGNOSIS: To be determined after CSF evaluation.
ANESTHESIA: Local with 2% lidocaine at the L4-L5 level.
SPECIMEN REMOVED: 15 cc of clear CSF.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROCEDURE: I explained the procedure, its rationale, risks, benefits, and alternatives to the patient and her daughter. The patient' daughter remained present throughout the procedure. The patient provided written consent and her daughter signed as witness to the consent.
I located the iliac crest and spinous processes before the procedure and determined the level I planned for the puncture. During the procedure, I spoke constantly with the patient to explain what was happening and to warn when there might be pain or discomfort. The skin was prepped with chlorhexidine solution with the patient seated on the chair leaning forward with her face resting on the exam table. Using local anesthetic and aseptic technique, I inserted a 20-gauge spinal needle at the L4-L5 interspace and 15 cc of CSF was collected without difficulty.
ASSESSMENT: White blood cells 1, red blood cells 54, glucose 59, protein 51, Gram stain negative, bacterial culture negative after three days, and remaining tests pending.


In meeting leaders from around the world these last weeks, I know more than ever before that what we create is what we think of ourselves. I also know that the rate that we continue to learn new areas of our business directly impacts our success.
The saying that you are never "too old or young" makes sense in our information age. You are never too old, too new, too experienced, or too inexperienced, to learn a new way of doing things – a new approach, and a new skill.
In fact, if you are not learning something new – if you are not learning something from a mistake, something that didn't go as you wanted or expected, you may need to. This is because you likely aren't learning enough to propel your business toward necessary growth.
In my meetings with mentors bridging the gaps of sales, branding, self-help and coaching, thought leadership, business strategy, health, and innovation in technology, there are nuggets that all will agree on.
If your goal is to build a sustainable business, don't quit your day job. In other words, if you don't have a consistent, reliable source of income, find one and use that to learn what it takes to build a business on someone else's dime.
What I mean by this is, that if you put all of your eggs into one basket and don't have the long-term means to plan financially for your next big idea, you probably aren't going to have the resources to sustain it.
In the beginning, your business may rely largely on your personal involvement and work. As a business owner, if you want to grow, you're only as good as the team you build. Businesses can begin with you and a small team. Yet, if you and your team doesn't grow with it, you have less of a chance of surviving the ups and downs of getting your business past it's early stages.
I've learned a few of these things the hard way. I've left projects I didn't want too prematurely. I thought I had the plan of putting my ambition, hard work, and expertise on my own brand at the right time. However, with more knowledge about the time it takes to build a business, I wouldn't have left so early.
Launching a new business or a new project that is not properly funded may be the quickest way to not be able to finish your goals. Likewise, if your team doesn't share your vision, mission, and values, as well as understand how to "wow" customers, not just attract them but sustain them, you may not have what it takes to stay in business.
If you continue to plan your dream career, business, or ventures while you have reliable income – heck you can get funded in a myriad of ways, this ensures that you don't run out of cash, and even if it takes longer than you plan to see a finish line, you're still in business. If you take this approach and plan for employee changes, find the right teams, and put in place the necessary systems, your business will likely grow.
Without systems, your business can't take over without you. This isn't sustainable.
The next piece of wisdom I've learned from the very best in leadership (stay tuned for the next issue of the magazine) is to learn how to sharpen your skills. Here's an example. If you are always using the same tools in the garden without sharpening those tools, you may be fast and able to prune your tree just fine in the beginning. Yet over time, you notice somehow you are slower and not able to keep up with cutting the tree with the same results.
This is because your tools aren't sharpened.
To sharpen your tools, you have to take the time to take care of them. You have to know that your results aren't only about your ambition and stamina of how long it takes you to physically work. Your tools need to be just as sharp as all of your other resources to get the job done well.
Another rule of thumb is to know where your advice comes from. Not all advice is created equal. For instance, if you are given money to invest in your business, but you don't have a solid plan to pay it back or the immediate resources to do so, you shouldn't borrow it. You have to be able to know that someone promising to help you scale your business is the right mentor for you. You have to trust your business influencers, leaders, and lenders.
It's not different with personal business or health. It's really universal advice. If for example, you owe $50,000 in taxes and you haven't weighed the best way to pay for those taxes, you could owe a lot more by taking the wrong advice.
How to tell from whom to learn?
Get referrals. Business referrals are something I talk about often because I believe it's one of the best places to get good advice. Talk to many people and get multiple credible opinions on the topic with which you need help. Take the example of taxes. If you get the input of tax attorneys and no one else, you may only be getting one side of the story. If you get the opinion of successful investors who deals with taxes for their clients, you are getting not only both sides of the coin, but also the third side of the coin, the edge. If you only see one or two sides of the coin, you may not have the full perspective and advice from only a legal or business standpoint. It may not be the best advice for you.
I'm not saying a good general M.D. wouldn't refer you to a specialist; however, you need to also have the judgment to figure out when you need better advice. Always get a second opinion, if it feels right.
Just as in the example of health, if you own a business, a project, a growing career, you owe it to your organization and yourself to get the best information possible.

Q: NullPointerException in dao layer (only persist is working) I was looking for a similar problems, but no actual results, so I'm trying to create simple DAO layer with JPA/Maven, but if I use it then only persist method (insert) is working when I using EntityManager until class, but tests are working good if I create EntityManager with before and auto annotations without anything else. I'm getting NullPointerException, but I cannot understand why (especially why to persist method is working in this case).
Abstract test
public abstract class AbstractPersistentTest {

  protected static EntityManagerFactory emf = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("Services");
  protected EntityManager em;
  protected EntityTransaction tx;

  @Before
  public void initEntityManager() throws Exception {
    em = emf.createEntityManager();
    tx = em.getTransaction();
  }

  @After
  public void closeEntityManager() throws SQLException {
    if (em != null) em.close();
  }

  protected Integer getRandomId() {
    return Math.abs(new Random().nextInt());
  }
}

Model
@Entity
@Table(name = "test")
public class Test implements Serializable {

@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy= GenerationType.IDENTITY)
@Column(name = "id")
private Integer id;

@Column(name = "title", nullable = false)
@Size(min = 0, max = 255)
private String title;

@Column(name = "descr", nullable = false, length = 16777215, columnDefinition = "Mediumtext")
private String descr;

@Column(name = "avatar", nullable = false)
private String avatar;

@Column(name = "date_add", nullable = false, insertable = false, updatable = false, columnDefinition = "Datetime DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP")
@Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP)
private Date date_add;

public Test() {
}

//getters and setters

Test DAO
public class TestDAO  {

//@PersistenceContext(unitName = "Services")
//private EntityManager emgr;

public Integer persist(String title,
                       String avatar,
                       String descr) {

    EntityManager em = EMgrUtil.createEntityManager();
    EntityTransaction transaction = em.getTransaction();
    Test test = new Test();

    try {

        transaction.begin();
        test.setTitle(title);
        test.setAvatar(avatar);
        test.setDescr(descr);
        em.persist(test);
        transaction.commit();

    }
    catch(RuntimeException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        transaction.rollback();

    } finally {
        //em.close();
    }

    return test.getId();

}

public Test findById(Integer id) {

    EntityManager em = EMgrUtil.getEntityManager();
    Test t = em.find(Test.class, id);
    return t;

}

public List<Test> findAll() {

    EntityManager em = EMgrUtil.getEntityManager();

    List<Test> list = em.createQuery("SELECT t FROM Test t", Test.class).getResultList();

    return list;

}

}
I also trying to inject EntityManager via PersistenceContext but It doesn't work
main
public class testDAO_test {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        TestDAO testDAO = new TestDAO();

        List<Test> tests = testDAO.findAll();

        for(Test test : tests) {
            System.out.println(test);
        }

        //Test test = testDAO.findById(2);
        //System.out.println(test);
    }

}

            <property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="update" />
        </properties>

    </persistence-unit>

</persistence>

A: Add null check for entity manager in getEntityManager() as you did in createEntityManager(), to create one em if it is null.
Or simply use createEntityManager() instead of getEntityManager() in TestDAO for findAll() and findById() methods.

Giggs looks to towering Moore as Wales' solution to 'killer' striker conundrum
By Laurie Whitwell Oct 14, 2019 5
After Wales' last home qualifier, against Azerbaijan in September, Ryan Giggs privately conceded a lack of a recognised centre-forward was his biggest question to answer.
Gareth Bale, it is understood, had made clear his dislike of playing in the striker role, so Tom Lawrence stepped in and gave a game account of himself. But the set-up was not right.
"A killer," was how one Wales coach described the conundrum. Bale had been shown footage of teams who play with a fluid front three but the Real Madrid man prefers to float inwards from the wing, rather than the other way round, so expressed reluctance to start up top even if he was given licence to roam.
Sam Vokes could offer an authentic presence at centre-forward, as he did at Euro 2016, but he has not been getting in a Stoke side bottom of the Championship and Giggs has come to appreciate the value of selecting players featuring regularly for their clubs.
So, in the friendly against Belarus,...


should use ideal beer mash methods for ideal alcohol body. Depending on your own mashing method and also the mash rest temperature, you will be rewarded with delectable beer with the desired body and potency.
In case you do enjoy packaged beer, some understanding about the brewing procedure will certainly assist you to fully grasp your beer in a far better manner and also help to make an improved choice down the road. The manufacturing of beer needs a number of critical ingredients including malt barley or perhaps rice, corn, or even other fermentable substances, water, brewers yeast, and hops to deliver bitterness as well as flavor for the beer. These kinds of ingredients may be effortlessly purchased although you might need to understand your countrys brewing laws and regulations before you decide to set up your own personal mini-brewing plant inside your home.
You could start out with a home-brewing kit available in nearly all markets in addition to a good book on how to mash or how you can make mash even though these kinds of kits do tend to generate beer that has a heavy body since malt sugars happen to be generally used to produce the alcohol. Readymade kits are also available with yeast, malt and hop ingredients through wet or even dry type, which makes it rather easy to mash, ferment and finally draw out the required fermented beer from the beer mash. As soon as your own essential ingredients except yeast are mixed together during the malting process then your liquid is actually all set for brewing.
The resultant wort will now have to be infused using the brewers yeast to turn starch as well as sugar straight into alcohol base, and that is accomplished through the mashing process, and also which in turn can determine the degree of alcohol body in your finished product. With regard to homebrew production there are canned malt extracts such as un-malted wheat as well as barley that can give additional body for your beer. The temperature maintained during the mashing process as well determines the strength as well as body of your final product. Your fermented alcohol also needs to be filtered and carbonated well before it can be bottled and even consumed with close friends. Many people use customized soda makers in order to infuse the beer mash with carbon dioxide gas. Should you plan to utilize the exact same method then proper care should be taken to maintain the ideal pressure within the stainless-steel kegs.
Once your current liquefied base is mashed, fermented, filtered, and allowed to rest for those prescribed range of hours or perhaps days in that case your chilled as well as carbonated beer is all set for joyful consumption. The body of your completed beer can be varied once you try out numerous temperature settings and addition of extra extracts straight into your own wort. If you believe that you might not have the ability to create your own alcohol drinks at home then you always have the choice of visiting the closest store or perhaps watering hole to get beer with the right level of strength and body to match your taste buds.
With some patience and time, you too can easily generate your own beer in your own home. With several homebrew kits available in the market and an array of ingredients and extracts accessible in select stores, you can easily create beer that has the right degree of alcohol body, taste and also potency to help keep on chasing your brand-new hobby seriously.

American Samoa: At a glance
American Samoa (sometimes abbreviated AS) is a sovereign country in Australia-Oceania, with a total land area of approximately 199 sq km. Settled as early as 1000 B.C., Samoa was not reached by European explorers until the 18th century.

Hi Hotbrain, extremely good lense, excellent guidelines as nicely, being a gold best rated seller on ebay I agree with what you published and I feel men and women can advantage from what you wrote but I am also going to add the following: take good pictures, if your photographs are bad trust me you are going to shed 30% of the prospective of your listing, do not use plain listings either, use nice backgrounds, promote your listing with extras: incorporate small issues that may well not expense you significantly but will make folks pick your listing more than an additional and always don't forget there is thousands of sellers competing with you some of them are best rated sellers!

I'm capable of true unconditional love but I tend to choose partners who can take advantage of my generous and simple-hearted nature. I always seem to be cheerful and I'm good with words, but a good listener, too. I believe that new experiences always bring us positive feeling that's why I love visiting new places. And when you go somewhere you always meet with new people and get to know of strange to you cultural traditions.That's what I value in traveling.
I have many friends and like to spend my free time with them. I can't live without going to the country and merging with the nature. Music makes me high whether I'm upset or happy so I listen to it quite often. Reading sometimes helps us to escape from reality and drive our attention from everyday bustle that's why I'm really keen on reading. I like sports and being active as I think that being on the move is being alive. I dream to meet a witty man with a wonderful sense of humor, who loves the excitement of romance. A man who's mature and strong but is able to be committed and caring in relations. He should appreciate me for who I am, respect my feelings and value my virtues. He should be pleasant to be around and share the responsibility for making the relations work.

The new album from Still Heat Records in Newcastle is Katkos (Outage) by Luke Lund. The 9 tracks here are ambient lo-fi industrial, with layers of white noise slithering between bruised beats. Beats are minimal and originating in the world of dub, but the musical content is utterly minimal. This is not a negative thing: this album works perfectly with pads incinerated into thin white noise by distortion. It is burnt, blistered and full of sinuous static, living in a wireless-drenched radiated wasteland of it's own making.
The release itself is limited to 50 copies of a cassette, in an immaculately designed cover. This is an incredibly stylish package that compliments the music perfectly. At just £3 plus P&P for the cassette, it really is a steal.


South Miami Mayor Philip Stoddard may be one of the most liberal mayors in Florida, so he would be a natural candidate to push through a package of local gun-control rules in the wake of the Parkland massacre 50 miles away. But that would be against the law. Florida bans cities and counties from imposing their own gun-control rules. Seven years ago, the Republican-controlled Legislature even created a $5,000 fine it can impose on mayors like Stoddard if they ever try to enforce stricter regulations on firearms. Critics say it also makes Florida the toughest state in the nation when it comes to policing city and county rules on firearms.
Grady Judd believes he's found a solution that would help stop future school shootings: prepare teachers to shoot back. The Polk County Sheriff touted his department's "Sentinel" program — which it developed in 2016 — during a Saturday appearance on Fox & Friends. The Sentinel program gives certain teachers the title of "Special Deputy" and a concealed campus carry permit. To achieve that title, teachers have to pass a mental health screening, a criminal background check — and complete hundreds of hours of firearm training.
More than two decades after the last bunch arrived on shore, bananas are back at Tampa's port. More than 3,900 pallets of Chiquita bananas from Ecuador arrived last week at the new Port Logistics Refrigerated Services warehouse. It was the first shipment of perishable products to the 135,000-square-foot refrigerated warehouse, which was built on Hookers Point specifically to attract shippers of fruit and other cargo requiring cold storage. The shipment was a test run, but "we're hoping that there will be more," Port Tampa Bay chief commercial officer Raul Alfonso said.
After six up and mostly down seasons, Doug Martin's run with the Bucs is over. The two-time Pro Bowl running back was released by Tampa Bay today, a move that was expected after he failed to rush for less than 500 yards in four of the past five seasons. General manager Jason Licht informed Martin of the move Tuesday morning. The decision will save the Bucs $6.75-million that Martin was scheduled to earn in 2018. Because of the structure of his contract, the team will absorb no dead money on their salary cap.
Are you ready for an all-new hip-hop festival in Tampa? Snoop Dogg and T.I. are scheduled to headline the inaugural Halftime Music Festival on May 5 in the North Lot of Raymond James Stadium. Also on the bill: Karol G, Baby Rasta y Gringo and Brytiago. Launching an all-new festival is a daunting proposition in this town, and the rate of smashing successes is not high. But promoter Charles Potter said he's up to the challenge.

Portugal baby born to woman brain dead for three months
Image caption File pic: The baby was born with breathing problems but is expected to be allowed out of hospital in three weeks
A funeral is being held for a 26-year-old woman who gave birth to a baby boy on Thursday despite being brain dead since December.
International sportswoman Catarina Sequeira was declared brain dead after an acute asthma attack at her home.
The baby, named Salvador, was born when she was almost 32 weeks pregnant and is being cared for in a neonatal hospital.
This is the second such case in Portugal of a baby born to a mother who was brain dead.

Boy born to brain dead mother goes home
A talented canoeist who had represented her country, Sequeira had suffered from asthma since she was a child.
She suffered an asthma attack when she was 19 weeks pregnant and was put in an induced coma. However, her condition deteriorated and within days she was declared brain dead on 26 December, reports say. For 56 days a ventilator was attached to her to enable her baby to survive in her womb.

Why Portugal's organ-donation law decided this case
Doctors said the intention had been to wait until Friday for the mother to reach 32 weeks' gestation, but her respiratory condition had deteriorated and the Caesarean section was brought forward to Thursday.
Thirty-two weeks was considered the period at which babies had a very high probability of survival, hospital officials said.
The head of the hospital's ethics committee, Filipe Almeida, explained that the decision to keep the baby alive in the mother's womb was made in discussion with the family and because she had never opted out of Portugal's presumed-consent organ donation law.
"Being a donor is not just about being in a position to donate a liver or heart or lung, but also being in a position to give yourself so a child can live," he said. "And no-one has the right to interrupt the mother's decision process," he told the Observador website.
The baby's father wanted the child to be born, as did the rest of the family.
Sequeira's mother, Maria de Fátima Branco, told Portuguese TV that she had said goodbye to her daughter on 26 December and the decision to keep the baby had been made because the father, Bruno, had always wanted to be a father.

cordova platform version
Installed platforms: android 4.1.1, ios 4.0.1
Available platforms: amazon-fireos, blackberry10, browser, firefoxos, osx, webos

cordova plugin list
cc.fovea.cordova.purchase 4.0.0 "Purchase"
cordova-plugin-console 1.0.2 "Console"
cordova-plugin-crosswalk-webview 1.5.0 "Crosswalk WebView Engine"
cordova-plugin-inappbrowser 1.2.1 "InAppBrowser"
cordova-plugin-splashscreen 3.1.0 "Splashscreen"
cordova-plugin-statusbar 2.1.2-dev "StatusBar"
ionic-plugin-keyboard 1.0.8 "Keyboard"

Now when i.e. jumping into a "saving-function" based on JavaScript, the app stalls and the modal dialog is not hiding anymore. Here is some sample code:
HTML

JavaScript

$scope.save = function ()
{
 if ($scope.dosomething.length < 1)
 {
   $scope.$emit('toast', 'Do not do this!');
   return;
 }
}

Any idea how to fix this?

A: cordova-ionic 4.1.0-dev was the "solution". More can be seen here.
