Instant Karma For Road Rager: 'You Don't Mess With Mama Bear'
Lauren Briggs
A woman from Fort Myers, Florida, was dumbstruck when a driver pulled a gun on her for honking her horn, but she was even more surprised to see how quickly karma interfered.
"To mess with me is one thing, but to mess with my children ... you don't mess with mama bear," Melissa Drake, 46, told News-Press following the road rage incident.
A driver was weaving through traffic behind Drake on Sept. 16.
"A sixth sense came on," said Drake. "I said, 'This is not going to end well.'"
After the driver cut Drake off, forcing her to slam on her brakes, she honked her horn at him.
The driver then got beside her in the right lane and pointed a gun at her 17-year-old son, she said. Drake's teen daughter and her daughter's friend were also reportedly in the car at the time of the incident.
"My son and I looked at each other right at the same time and said, 'Is that a gun?'" Drake said.
Feeling protective of her kids, Drake called 911. After the driver backed off, she followed him until she could see his license plate.
"Who on this Earth would point a weapon at a child?" Drake said, according to Raw Story.
Drake added that the man continued driving recklessly, even reversing his car at one point.
He then aimed a rifle at Drake's car.
"I still have flashes of the gun in my head," said Drake, who drove away at that point.
Gayle Sarceno encountered the man when he got out of his car, which was facing the wrong way at an intersection, and jumped up and down on one leg, Raw Story reported.
"He's spewing blood from his leg," Sarceno told Raw Story. "He just drops, right there in the center lane."
She and another witness approached the man, who said he had shot himself.
The man went into shock, and emergency responders transported him to Lee Memorial Hospital for treatment.
Police said they found a handgun and a large rifle in the car, along with a large amount of blood, according to an incident report cited by News-Press.
"What was so bad in your day that you had to act like this and pull a gun on a family," Drake told News-Press. "Come to find out he shot himself -- talk about instant karma."

Le Caractère de l'époque actuelle () est un recueil de cours du philosophe allemand Johann Gottlieb Fichte professés en 1804 et 1805. Il a été publié à Berlin en 1807.

Contenu
L'auteur cherche à établir les caractéristiques de son époque, non pas à partir de données empiriques mais en se fondant sur le développement rationnel de l'histoire de l'humanité.

Il distingue plusieurs époques :

 La raison se présente sous forme instinctive ;
 Sous forme autoritaire ;
 La raison se révolte contre l'instinct et l'autorité en engendrant l'individualisme égoïste ;
 La raison accède à la conscience de soi en inaugurant l'ère de la justice ;
 Enfin elle se réalise pleinement en instituant l'ère de la sainteté.

Dans l'époque actuelle, dit Fichte, nous avons perdu l'innocence du premier âge, nous avons renversé l'autorité et nous nous trouvons en plein individualisme.

Dans un tel climat, seule la réalité empirique, c'est-à-dire la sensation et le plaisir, paraît évidente, alors qu'on haït l'idéal et le concept de devoir qui en découle.

Ayant compris l'esprit de son temps, le savant pourra agir en faveur de la vraie liberté.

Most distributors have customers who say something like "Keep my card on file and pay these invoices when I tell you" or "Keep my card on file and pay cylinder rent each month." If you do this for your customers, then you know how time consuming it can be to process each card individually and then post the payments to their account. An upcoming credit card enhancement will make this part of your payment processing much easier.
The new program will feature an option to identify whether or not a customer wants regular and/or cylinder rent automatically paid with a credit card. When you run the payment program, it will check the customer file and will pay all the open invoices automatically. This includes getting the approval code from the card processor and then creating the cash receipts entry for the paid invoices. The operator doesn't have to request approval on each card nor do they have to create the cash receipt payment.
If your customer wants to pay by credit card, but they want to tell you which invoices to pay, a list of unpaid invoices will display on the screen. You simply check off the invoices they want to pay and then the program does the rest.


Well, I've reached my target kernel version, but it looks like there are a few issues to solve before 2.6.35 can be used with Android Gingerbread on Acer Liquid.
I was able to build and run: a Gingerbread distribution from CodeAurora Forum sources, but I haven't been able to get rild to cooperate. There are 2.3 ROMs out there with older kernel, so it is only a matter of time.
There is quite an issue with 3D drivers. It does not look like there are devices which run Gingerbread, have kernel with 2D/3D kgsl split and are powered by QSD8x50 chipset. I believe we will need to use pre-split drivers and see whether we like Nexus One (update: nope, uses different prelink map) or Sony Xperia X10 drivers more.
Wi-Fi does not work and crashes the device, I have a bug for that and a bunch of kernels in download queue to see how it gets handled in other devices carrying bcm4329 chip.
So here's the first build of 2.6.35 kernel/compatible userspace that I have flashed to my phone and it kind of works (no 3D, so no camera, no Wi-Fi, no top LED support). Sources can be found on GitHub - android-kernel-msm, android-msm-2.6.35-acer_a1 branch.
Interested parties can follow the development process via the thread on MoDaCo forum.

[Korean War Anniversary] The path two Koreas have taken since war
By Ahn Sung-mi
Published : Jun 25, 2020 - 10:37 Updated : Jun 25, 2020 - 10:37
US and North Korea sign the armistice ending the three year Korean War in July 1953. (Yonhap)
Thursday marks the 70th anniversary of the outbreak of the Korean War. Now, military tension is still palpable on the Korean Peninsula, seven decades on.
Last week, Pyongyang demolished a liaison office that stood as a symbol of improved inter-Korean ties, worrying many here that several years of progress toward detente could so quickly be undone.
While a big question mark hangs over the direction the two Koreas are heading now, one thing history shows is that relations between the two have had their ups and downs, swinging between armed clashes and steps toward rapprochement.
"Inter-Korean relations is a continuation of advancement, retreat, achievement and setback," said Lim Dong-won, a former director of national intelligence and unification minister during the Kim Dae-jung administration (1998-2003).
Here is a brief overview of events that have shaped the dynamics of inter-Korean relations from the war up until today.
Enemy states (1953-1969)
The brutal war, which killed more than 3 million people, came to a halt in 1953 when an armistice agreement was signed, but it was never replaced with a formal peace treaty. The years after the war were marked by deep tensions and enmity between the South and the North. The two Koreas were vying for legitimacy and international recognition. Tensions on the peninsula escalated in the late 1960s, with both sides attempting infiltration of one another and plotting coups.
A series of military clashes took place from 1966 through 1969, largely between North Korean and South Korean forces or between the North and US troops in the Demilitarized Zone. It was during this time, in 1968, that the North sent 31 commandos to sneak into Cheong Wa Dae in a failed attempt to assassinate President Park Chung-hee. That same year, the North also seized US spy ship the USS Pueblo and held 83 American crew members hostage for months.
Seesawing between detente and confrontation (1970-1987)
The thaw in the Cold War between the US and Soviet Union brought a mood of dialogue to the Korean Peninsula. In August 1971, the first Red Cross talks took place, with delegates from both sides meeting in Pyongyang to discuss humanitarian issues and reunions of separated families.
The following year, after secret dialogue between the South Korean intelligence chief and North Korean leader Kim Il-sung, the two Koreas issued their first joint statement: the July 4 South-North Joint Communique. They agreed that reunification should be negotiated peacefully and without foreign interference. Under the agreement, the two Koreas established their first "hotline."
But the 1980s were a dark decade, with Pyongyang detonating a bomb in Myanmar in 1983 aimed at top visiting South officials, killing 21 people. South Korean President Chun Doo-hwan narrowly escaped. In 1987, another bombing killed all 115 passengers on Korean Air Flight 858. Pyongyang officially denied involvement in either attack.
Progress toward peace (1988-1997)
After Seoul hosted the Summer Olympics in 1988, the South pushed to broaden its diplomatic frontier, normalizing relations with China, the former Soviet Union and Eastern European bloc countries. As part of this policy, President Roh Tae-woo also reached out to North Korea, and after many rounds of dialogue the two sides signed a nonaggression pact vowing freer trade, travel and cultural exchanges. The two Koreas also joined the United Nations in 1991. In 1992, the two Koreas agreed not to test, possess, produce or use nuclear weapons and to renounce uranium enrichment and plutonium reprocessing.
The agreement did not last long, as North Korea threatened to go nuclear, pushing the peninsula to the brink of war. But the nuclear crisis was defused when former US President Jimmy Carter visited Pyongyang and brokered what could have been the first-ever summit between the two Koreas since the war ended.
In a dramatic turn of events, Kim Il-sung died in July 1994, two weeks before the summit was to take place, and his son Kim Jong-il took the helm of the regime. Later that year, North Korea signed a major nuclear deal, agreeing to dismantle its nuclear facilities. Over the next several years, inter-Korean relations turned volatile, with issues including food aid and a North Korean submarine infiltration incident in 1996.
Sunshine era (1998-2007)
Kim Dae-jung, who became president of South Korea in 1998, introduced the "Sunshine Policy" of engaging North Korea with massive shipments of aid, investment and trade to encourage the reclusive regime to open up. In 2000, the first-ever inter-Korean summit took place between Kim Dae-jung and the North's Kim Jong-il in Pyongyang.
The highly anticipated meeting culminated in the adoption of the June 15 South-North Joint Declaration, in which both sides pledged to work together for peace and unification. Later that year, Kim Dae-jung won the Nobel Peace Prize, a first for the country.

The Sunshine Policy continued, despite the two Koreas facing off in naval clashes in the West Sea in June 2002. Meanwhile, the US took a hard-line stance on North Korea, with US President George W. Bush calling the North part of an "axis of evil." The following year, the North withdrew from the Nonproliferation Treaty.
Despite the North expanding its nuclear weapons program, the South stuck to the engagement policy under liberal President Roh Moo-hyun (2003-2008). The first round of six-party talks involving China, the US, the two Koreas, Japan and Russia, aimed at ending the North's nuclear program through negotiations, was convened in 2003.
In 2006, the North conducted its first nuclear weapons test, leading the UN to impose sanctions against it.
With international sentiment toward Pyongyang worsening, Seoul felt the need for an inter-Korean summit. The following year Roh went to Pyongyang for the second inter-Korean summit, and in a joint statement both sides vowed mutual efforts to resolve the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula.
Back to a hard line (2008-2017)
Things took a dramatic turn under new conservative President Lee Myung-bak (2008-2013), who from the start demanded that the North give up its nuclear weapons.
In July 2008, a North Korean soldier shot dead a South Korean tourist at Mount Kumgang, and as a result the tourism program was suspended. In 2010, the North's attack on South Korean naval vessel Cheonan resulted in the death of 46 South Korean sailors. Pyongyang denied involvement, but Lee announced unilateral sanctions. Months later, North Korea fired artillery shells on a South Korean border island, killing four people.
In 2011, Kim Jong-un took power in the North following the death of his father, Kim Jong-il.
Under the conservative Park Geun-hye administration (2013-2017), inter-Korean relations remained tense. The North's young leader pursued the "Byungjin" policy -- simultaneously seeking nuclear development and economic growth -- and pushed ahead with nuclear weapons and ballistic programs. The North conducted its third nuclear test just days before Park assumed office in February 2013, with the fourth and fifth rounds in 2016, during her presidency.
Park imposed additional sanctions and suspended all commercial exchanges and joint projects. Kaesong industrial park was closed in 2016 in response to the North's nuclear tests.
Moon as facilitator (2017-present)
Moon Jae-in was sworn into office in May 2017 in South Korea partially on a pledge to improve inter-Korean ties, aligning with the stance taken by former liberal Presidents Kim Dae-jung and Roh Moon-hyun.
Amid an escalating war of words between US President Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un, Moon managed to broker a cease-fire the following year by inviting North Korean delegates to the PyeongChang Winter Olympics. The Olympic truce eventually led to three inter-Korean summits between Moon and Kim, and also to the historic Singapore summit between Trump and Kim, which marked the first-ever meeting between the leaders of the US and North Korea. This was all in 2018.

Hopes were running high ahead of the second US-North Korea summit in February 2019. Peace on the Korean Peninsula, and its complete denuclearization, felt imminent. But the Hanoi summit fell through despite much fanfare, as Trump and Kim failed to narrow their differences over the steps the sides needed to take toward denuclearization and sanctions relief.
The US-North Korea denuclearization talks came to a deadlock, and so did inter-Korean relations. In an effort to break the impasse, Moon called for various cross-border projects to engage Pyongyang, but the North did not respond to any of Seoul's proposals.
Recently, Pyongyang suddenly began building tensions again, demolishing the inter-Korean liaison office and warning further hostile actions against the South.

Every summer, Ansbach's parks morph into festival grounds that tell stories of the Middle Ages, the Baroque, and the Rococo era.
The royal gardens in Ansbach date back to the early 16th century when Leonhart Fuchs, for whom the fuchsia is named, did his plant research in these gardens. His work helped establish the herb garden where, to this day, you can find the medicinal plants from the famous work "New Kreuterbuch" from 1543. The rest of the garden was redesigned in the 18th century in the French style and to this day, the double Linden alley is at the core of the park. Southern flair dominates the orangery and its 170 container plants during the summer: there are citrus trees, bitter oranges, pistachios, olives, figs, pomegranates, and laurels. The "Rokoko-Festspiele" feature reenactments of margravial life in its day.

Die Rugby-Union-Weltmeisterschaft 1987 (; ) fand vom 22. Mai bis zum 20. Juni 1987 in Neuseeland und Australien statt. Es war die erste Weltmeisterschaft im vierjährlichen Turnierzyklus, der vom Weltverband International Rugby Football Board (IRFB; jetzt World Rugby) organisiert wird.

16 Rugby-Union-Nationalmannschaften nahmen an der Weltmeisterschaft teil: Die damals sieben Mitglieder des IRFB (Australien, England, Frankreich, Irland, Neuseeland, Schottland und Wales), sowie die führenden Nichtmitglieder auf Einladung des IRFB (Argentinien, Fidschi, Italien, Japan, Kanada, Rumänien, Simbabwe, Tonga und die Vereinigten Staaten). Westsamoa wurde trotz eines höheren Spielniveaus im Vergleich zu einigen der eingeladenen Mannschaften nicht berücksichtigt. Die Sowjetunion wurde eingeladen, lehnte aufgrund der südafrikanischen Mitgliedschaft im IRFB aber ab. Südafrika durfte aufgrund des Sportboykotts wegen seiner Apartheidspolitik nicht an der Weltmeisterschaft teilnehmen.

Während der Rugby-Union-Weltmeisterschaft 1987 wurden 32 Spiele absolviert, darunter 24 in der Vorrunde und acht in der Finalrunde, einschließlich des Finales. Die Mannschaften wurden in vier Gruppen zu je vier Teams eingeteilt, wobei jedes einmal gegen die anderen der Gruppe antrat. Die beiden besten Mannschaften jeder Gruppe erreichten hiernach das Viertelfinale. Diese Mannschaften qualifizierten sich auch direkt für die darauf folgende Rugby-Union-Weltmeisterschaft 1991 in den damaligen Five Nations.

Weltmeister wurden die neuseeländischen All Blacks, die im Finale in Auckland die französischen Les Tricolores mit 29:9 schlugen und damit der erste Weltmeister wurden. Wales wurde Dritter und Australien Vierter; interessanterweise schlossen die vier Gruppensieger das Turnier als die vier besten Mannschaften ab. Das Viertelfinale zwischen Frankreich und Australien, das Les Bleus gegen die Wallabies mit 30:24 gewannen, gilt als eines der besten Spiele der Rugby-Union-Weltmeisterschaftsgeschichte.

Vergabe
Zu Beginn der 1980er Jahre kam die Idee einer Weltmeisterschaft auf, wurde jedoch 1983 bei einer Sitzung des International Rugby Football Board (IRFB, heute World Rugby) abgelehnt. Der australische und der neuseeländische Verband verfassten daraufhin unabhängig voneinander einen Brief, der das IRFB aufforderte, eine Weltmeisterschaft durchzuführen. 1985 wurde diese Idee trotz Widerstandes, besonders der irischen und britischen Delegationsmitglieder, angenommen. Australien und Neuseeland veranstalteten folgerichtig die erste Weltmeisterschaft. Die entscheidende Stimme kam von den Südafrikanern, die das Projekt befürworteten, obwohl sie wussten, dass ein Boykott wegen der Apartheid es ihnen unmöglich machen würde, an dem Wettbewerb teilzunehmen.

Qualifikation

Automatisch teilnahmeberechtigt waren die sieben Mitglieder des International Rugby Football Board. Neben den beiden Gastgebern Australien und Neuseeland waren dies Frankreich und die Home Nations: England, Irland, Schottland und Wales. Südafrika, ein weiteres Mitglied des IRFB, wurde 1984 wegen der Apartheidspolitik von der Teilnahme an der WM ausgeschlossen; allerdings trugen Nationalmannschaften anderer Teilnehmer auch danach Spiele gegen die Springboks aus. Für die übrigen neun Startplätze gab es kein Qualifikationsturnier. Die Mannschaften aus Argentinien, Fidschi, Italien, Japan, Kanada, Simbabwe, Tonga und den Vereinigten Staaten wurden von den Organisatoren eingeladen. An Samoa erging keine Einladung, obwohl seine Mannschaft in der (damals inoffiziellen) Weltrangliste besser platziert war als jene Tongas. Die Mannschaft der Sowjetunion wurde ebenfalls eingeladen, doch der sowjetische Verband lehnte eine Teilnahme am Turnier als politischen Protest gegen die fortgesetzte Mitgliedschaft Südafrikas im IRFB ab. Diesen Startplatz erhielt stattdessen die rumänische Mannschaft.

Austragungsorte
21 Spiele wurden in Neuseeland ausgetragen, elf in Australien.

Format
Die Rugby-Union-Weltmeisterschaft 1987 wurde über 29 Tage zwischen 16 verschiedenen Mannschaften über 32 Spiele ausgetragen. Sie begann am 22. Mai 1987 im Eden Park in Auckland mit dem Eröffnungsspiel zwischen dem Mitgastgeber Neuseeland und Italien. Das Turnier endete am 20. Juni im denselben Stadion mit dem Finale zwischen Neuseeland und Frankreich, wobei die All Blacks den Webb Ellis Cup gewannen.

Spielplan
Die nachfolgende Tabelle zeigt das tägliche Programm der Rugby-Union-Weltmeisterschaft 1987. Dabei steht ein rotes Kästchen für die Eröffnungs- und Schlusszeremonie, ein violettes Kästchen für Vorrundenspiele, ein grünes Kästchen für Finalrundenspiele, ein blaues Kästchen für das Spiel um Platz 3 und ein gelbes Kästchen für das Finale.

Gruppen

Die Vorrundenspiele waren unter den Gastgebern folgendermaßen aufgeteilt:
 Gruppe 1 wurde in Australien ausgetragen
 Aus Gruppe 2 wurden fünf Spiele in Neuseeland ausgetragen und eines in Australien
 Gruppe 3 wurde in Neuseeland ausgetragen
 Gruppe 4 wurde in Neuseeland ausgetragen

Vorrunde
Die erste Rugby-Union-Weltmeisterschaft wurde zwischen 16 Nationalmannschaften ausgespielt. Es gab keine Qualifikation zur Weltmeisterschaft, da die Mannschaften vom International Rugby Football Board eingeladen wurden. Für die Vorrunde wurden die 16 teilnehmenden Mannschaften in vier Gruppen zu je vier Mannschaften eingeteilt; jede Mannschaft bestritt ein Spiel gegen jede andere Mannschaft in derselben Gruppe, demzufolge absolvierte jedes Team drei Spiele in der Vorrunde. Für einen Sieg gab es zwei Tabellenpunkte, für ein Unentschieden einen Punkt und keinen Punkt für eine Niederlage; hatten zwei Mannschaften dieselbe Anzahl Tabellenpunkte, wurde der Tabellenrang nach Anzahl gelegter Versuche ermittelt, anstelle der Gesamtpunktzahl (andererseits hätte Argentinien in der Gruppe C den zweiten Platz erreicht, vor Fidschi; Frankreich wäre Gruppenerster geblieben).

Die Tabellenränge wurden anhand des folgenden Punktesystems ermittelt:
 Zwei Spielpunkte für einen Sieg;
 Einen für ein Unentschieden;
 Keinen für eine Niederlage.

Am Ende der Vorrunde wurden die Mannschaften, basierend auf den gesammelten Spielpunkten, vom erstem zum vierten Platz eingestuft, wobei die beiden besten Mannschaften das Viertelfinale erreichten. Waren zwei Teams punktgleich, wurde die Platzierung nach Anzahl gelegter Versuche ermittelt.

Finalrunde
Ab dieser Phase nahm das Turnier ein K.-o.-System an bestehend aus acht Spielen: vier Viertelfinals, zwei Halbfinals, ein Spiel um Platz 3 und das Finale.

Die Gruppenersten und -zweiten erreichten jeweils die Finalrunde. Dabei trafen die Gruppenersten im Viertelfinale auf die Gruppenzweiten der anderen Gruppe, beispielsweise traf der Erste der Gruppe 1 auf den Zweiten der Gruppe 2 und der Erste der Gruppe 2 auf den Zweiten der Gruppe 1. Teams aus derselben Gruppe konnten erst wieder im Spiel um Platz 3 oder dem Finale aufeinandertreffen.

Die Finalrunde begann mit den Viertelfinalspielen. Jedes Spiel musste zwingend mit einem Sieg enden. Stand es in einer Begegnung nach der regulären Spielzeit von 80 Minuten unentschieden, folgte eine Verlängerung von 2 × 10 Minuten. War noch immer kein Sieger ermittelt, gab es eine weitere Verlängerung von zehn Minuten Dauer mit Sudden Death. Wenn auch nach insgesamt 110 Minuten immer noch kein Sieger feststand, wäre der Sieger in einem Platztrittschießen zu den Torstangen bestimmt worden.

Einfluss auf die WM-Qualifikation 1991
Die acht Viertelfinalmannschaften qualifizierten sich direkt für die darauf folgende Weltmeisterschaft 1991 in England. Diese waren Australien, England, Fidschi, Frankreich, Irland, Neuseeland, Schottland und Wales.

Schiedsrichter
Während des Turnieres wurden 14 Schiedsrichter eingesetzt.

Former HHS Secretary calls for simple workaround to exchange problems
by Dina Overland |
Jan 9, 2014 12:42am
The Obama administration must find simple solutions to the complex problem of the glitch-filled health insurance exchange enrollment process, said Michael Leavitt, former U.S. Department of Health & Human Services Secretary.
Leavitt compared the rocky exchange rollout to his agency's oversight of the Medicare Part D launch, suggesting "human needs" must be met before administrative ones. When the Medicare prescription drug benefit launched in 2006, it was criticized for computer glitches, long waits for customer service and consumers incorrectly enrolled in coverage, reported Kaiser Health News.
"The administration needs to come up with the 60 percent workaround," Leavitt, who is now chairman of consulting firm Leavitt Partners, told KHN. "That is, they've got to find a simple way to solve a complex problem, which will have imperfections for everyone."
For example, when people tried to get medications at the pharmacy counter but their names weren't in the computer, Leavitt said, HHS told pharmacies to provide the drugs and then the agency spent up to 18 months working out the problems later.
"It was an expensive proposition and less than ideal. But it allowed the limited number of people who were having problems with the system to have their human needs met," he told KHN. "[Now] they have bigger problems, they have more people, more complexity, so their workaround may not be the exactly same, but that illustrates it."
The same could be true for HHS now if they develop a simple method for enrolling consumers who have faced different roadblocks in their attempts to sign up for a health plan sold on the exchange. For example, HealthCare.gov glitches have prevented consumers from creating accounts and starting the enrollment process, FierceHealthPayer previously reported. Based on Leavitt's theory, HHS should figure out how to get consumers enrolled as soon as possible and worry about the details later.

Than, or higher than, the other. This is, he can compare the different levels of satisfaction. In an indifference map, one indifference curve represents a higher or lower level of satisfaction than another, hut one cannot say exactly by how much a satisfaction is higher or lower. For this reason, indifference curves are generally given ordinal numbers to put them in the right order, I, H. III, IV etc., and no attempt is made to label – them in terms of units of satisfaction -since there are no such units. For an explanation of consumer's behavior, it is sufficient to assume that he is able to rank his preferences .consistently. The assumption of ordinal measurement of utility made by indifference curve is less restrictive and more realistic.
(ii) Nil Assumption of Constancy of Marginal Utility of Molehill. Marshall in his analysis of a consumer's behavior assumed marginal utility of money to remain constant while the consumer proceeded to make purchases. Marshall defended his assumption on the ground that since the consumer spends a small fraction of his income on a particular good, his marginal utility of money does not increase to any significant extent as he purchases more and more units of the commodity.
This, (iii) is the same proportionality rule of equilibrium as enunciated by Marshall, and the indifference curve technique arrives at this rule with less restrictive and fewer assumptions. This is no small achievement.
(I') More General Theory of Demand. The superiority of the indifference curve technique lies in the fact that even with less restrictive and fewer assumptions, it gives us a more general theory Emanuel Tile ordinal utility theory enables us too enunciate the general theorem of demand in the following composite .Donn of which the Marshall law of demand constitutes a special case.
(a) the demand for a commodity varies inversely with price when the income elasticity of demand for that commodity is nil positive; (b) the demand for a commodity varies inversely with price when the income-effect or a change in price is smaller than the substitution-effect: and (e) the demand fur a commodity varies directly with price when the income-elasticity of demand for that commodity is negative, and the income-effect of a change in price is larger than the substitution effect. When either first the second condition is fulfilled, the Marshall law of demand holds; and when the third condition applies, we get the Griffin case of a positively sloping demand curve. The Giffen case was an exception to the Marshal law of demand. Marshall could not provide any satisfactory explanation of peculiar phenomenon presented by Giffcn goods: it remained a paradox to him. as Sir Robert Giffen, after horn the problem has been namid Hicks' explanation of a Giffen case is that the negative income effect i so powerful that it outweighs the positive substitution effect and hence, when the price of a Giffcn good fall, its demand also falls, steadily of rising.
Disillusion However, in spite of the e weakness, the indifference curve technique is now days largely considered superior to the marginal utility analysis of Marshall and has of late gained considerable popularity among economists.

Father Christmas Baby
What ever happened to the classic Christmas single? Fed up with waiting for the next Slade, Wizard, or even Darkness to appear, I decided to do it myself & make the sort of Christmas track that people would look forward to hearing every year.
Introducing Father Christmas Baby by Angel Belle, a throwback to the good old fashioned Christmas songs of the past; a truly happy holiday sound that evokes an instant nostalgia. Originally recorded in Northampton in 2013, Father Christmas Baby was re-mixed and re-mastered in 2014 at Platform Studios in Reading. The original version received local BBC Radio play and was well received, but this version is vastly superior! Available to download from November 30th.
William Johnston - Writer/Composer/Executive Producer. "Don't moan about what's out there unless you're prepared to try and do better." Will realised that if he wasn't part of the solution of resurrecting the classic Christmas song, he was part of the problem and that just wouldn't do. So he wrote the song and got it made.
Caroline Fenna – Vocals. As well as having West End success in Footloose, Caroline has appeared as a solo artist at Jazz venues in New Orleans, Switzerland, Edinburgh and Dubai and supported UK rapper Example and drum & bass artist LTJ Bukem. She has recently been overseeing the choreography for '80's icon and national treasure, Sinitta.
Adam Gammage – Drums & Percussion. A highly accomplished drummer and percussionist, Adam has appeared live and on TV all over the world. He has toured globally with The Hours (supporting Kasabian and U2) & more recently with Rebecca Fergusson (UK X-Factor runner Up 2010), Sparkadia and Baxter Dury.

Curling Stones for Lego People: Leather Bracelets (with tutorial)... How do you wear yours?
After blogging and tweeting my Rocky Beach Leather Bracelet I was asked, more than once, how I made it look "like that", which in turn led on to several conversations about Trollbeads leather bracelets, with some people confiding that they avoid wearing them as they've not found a look they're happy with.
Today's post is all about different ways to wear a leather bracelet, or more accurately the different ways I wear my leather bracelets, and by request a step-by-step guide to creating my Rocky Beach Leather Bracelet.
When I first got my blue leather bracelet it was a snug fit; it's best to buy as snug as you can as leather will naturally stretch over time and you can always fasten it on a longer setting initially as you have multiple holes to adjust the length you wear it at. Bracelets come in 3 different sizes so it is important to try one on to see what size suits you best, I wear the smallest one.
My first combinations were a few beads strung on the bracelet. At first I could only get 3-4 beads on, but as the leather started to stretch I could fit more on. I didn't do much else with it at this stage.
Trollbead leather bracelets are 1 long piece of leather that is split into 2 strands, these wrap around your wrist twice so you get 4 strands to play with a look. The 2 strands have metal loops at the end that you attach to the small end of a Trollbeads lock, with the wider end attaching to the leather thick strand that has holes in.
Later I started to experiment with making the combinations more "messy", the before picture on the left below is just after I put the bracelet on, the after picture on the right is the bracelet "arranged" with a silver combination doubled up in a stack.
You can see there is a massive difference in how it looks from putting it on to "arranging it when on" to get the best effect. Unlike making silver bracelets up - where all the arranging happens before you put the silver bracelet on finished - with leather it can be the opposite, a little twist or arranging can make all the difference; the important thing is to play and try out different styles to see what suits you best and what you like.
Another before and after picture on how I wore this one, sometimes less is more, here I twisted the 2 long strands together to give it more "texture" which also helps to keep the "2x3 bead combination" in place.
The following 2 photos are what I call "messy combinations". The first is a mix'n'match of totally uncoordinated beads for a fun bracelet worn on an afternoon out, I was wearing dark jeans and a black top so the only pop of colour was on my wrist. The second photo was another messy combination but with fewer colours.
I love my first blue leather and I still get a lot of wear out of it, but 6 months later along came a brown leather bracelet and I reverted to a favourite 2x3 design for it's first outing.
I love the messy combinations I made in the photo below using my dragon beads, and the blue bracelet was an experiment with spring colours that only survived long enough for me to take this photo, it wasn't actually a combination I ever wore.
Below is my focal bead bracelet using two stoppers to keep this combination in place, I love this bracelet and it's a great way to wear a really big bead that didn't work for me on a silver bracelet.
One of my favourite brown leather combos was this one, made with my Ruby Rock bead and Chess lock worn at the front - a style I copied from my friend Mike who writes a blog over at Mike's Trollbead Adventure! This creates a 3 strand look and lets you show off an ornate or special lock as well as your beads.
The two final combinations shown below are more recent, the first made with my Easter Swap Beads sent by my swap partner, and the second is how I'm currently wearing my brown leather showing off my new "craggy" amber.
So those are a variety of ways I've been wearing my 2 leather bracelets.
The combination I've had most questions about though has been my 2-tone Rocky Beach Bracelet shown below.
Start by threading your beads on the leather bracelet. On the left strand I put 3 beads on first, then 2 beads. On the right strand I put on 2 beads and then 3 beads so you have 5 on each wrap around your wrist, 10 in total.
Close up of how this looks when you space them out in a line.
I did think about the order they went in, but not too much as I knew I was going to make a messy twisted combination... I spaced out the bubble beads, put Silver Lighthouse in the middle of a 3 bead combo and put Pebbles and Fossils on different stages (they are actually on the same strand which isn't important), just that one is one the 2nd wrap and one is on the 1st wrap around your wrist.
Then I attached the small end of the lock to the 2 metal ends, and I twisted the bracelet by holding the flatter larger end still and just twisting it around by the lock. The photo below shows it locked so I could take the photo!
Now the tricky part, how to put it on "twisted"... or at least this is how I do it, the easiest way is to get someone else to do this but if you are on your own this is how I put it on (swearing optional).
I hold the end with the holes under my middle finger, as I bring the lock around, I then cross the lock with my other hand over the end and use it to hold that in place whilst I wrap the bracelet around a second time.
This then allows me to lock the the bracelet as the end is being held by the bracelet and I can concentrate on the lock. Bear in mind that I was not only doing up the bracelet, but my other hand was taking the photos, so I've got no photos of me actually locking this bracelet as I only have 2 hands!!
The back of the bracelet locked, Trolltree lock does work on leather but if you're doing up twisted bracelets yourself it's probably not the easiest lock to use. My handy tip for getting it off is that it's MUCH easier to undo the smaller end attached to the 2 metal loops than it is to undo the large end from the leather holes.
Below is a picture of the front of the bracelet before it has been arranged further, you can see that the effect you get is twisted strands along each of the 4 strands and that they are slightly twisted around each other as well as being individually twisted.
Once on I "arrange" the bracelet to suit, I do this by ensuring the front is very twisted so the 2 wraps are made up of twists around the beads, almost in a 1 over 1 under fashion - I don't twist the 2 wraps over each other.
And here is the finished bracelet, it stays like this all day, because the twists help to keep it in place, and I also wear it as a snug fit. It ends up slightly different every time I do this but this is one of the things I love about twisted designs!
Would love to hear about how you wear yours if you have one, or if you've considered getting one?
Brilliant easy to follow steps, just what I need to get me started....thank you.
Thanks Alison, can't wait to see what you do with your leather bracelet.
This is amazing! Lots and lots and lots of inspiration. Really intrested in the way you arange yours, as I never do it quite that way. And the way you do it up is genius!!!
Aw thanks Mike. I think it's interesting how we all do these things - it never occurred to me to blog a "how to" until I got so many questions on the Rocky Beach Bracelet.
It's nice that I know someone else who makes so much good use of the leather bracelets, I think they often get overlooked and there are so many different ways they can be worn, love seeing how others wear them!
Glad you found this useful and found the blog, I think the leathers do allow a lot of creativity as they are so versatile but I do understand the problem that they can be a lot more fiddly, especially for arthritic fingers. As you can see from the blog post I didn't do much with mine at first, I got more adventurous through trial and error, some things work really well, sometimes things don't but each time I find something else I like doing with them it makes all the effort worthwhile! The 2-tone leathers work wonderfully with twisted designs as it really shows them off!
I know a couple of people have put little rings on the end of the leather, through the hole they use most to help with the doing up issue, I don't personally because I use them differently so I don't always use the same hole every time, plus I like to "see" just the leather next to the lock as I like the way it looks, but that's just me personally.
Others have said they find the larger locks, Big Fish or Big Flower, or basic lock easier to use. I quite like using plain lock or my chess lock with the leather as I find these are a bit easier to use.
Stoppers are great when you need a combination to sit "tight" they are fiddly to get on, but once they're on they're on. Mike has said he has some small indentation in the leather where his are but I've not noticed this on mine.

So grab a cup of tea, or a glass of wine and enjoy!


Rabbi Asher Federman, center, co-director of Chabad-Lubavitch of the Virgin Islands, expresses gratitude on Thursday for the delivery of emergency supplies to St. Thomas. Throughout the week, a flotilla of 25 boats has been ferrying desperately needed supplies from Puerto Rico, about 110 miles away.
With power for most residents of St. Thomas expected to be out for months and less than a week's supply of fresh water remaining, an emergency airlift of desperately needed supplies for the Caribbean island, which was devastated by Hurricane Irma, is on its way from Houston. It comes thanks to the efforts of Chabad of Houston – itself still recovering from Hurricane Harvey – and United Airlines, which donated space on one of its aircraft for the aid container.
Since the airport on St. Thomas is not yet in operation, the supplies are being flown to Puerto Rico, and from there a flotilla of 25 vessels organized in part by members of the St. Thomas Jewish community will ferry the supplies to the island. The relief comes only a week after Hurricane Irma blasted through the Caribbean on its way to Florida, leaving a wide swath of destruction on St. Thomas. The boats will also be filled with emergency aid and supplies provided by the government and citizens of Puerto Rico.
Rabbi Asher Federman, co-director of Chabad-Lubavitch of the Virgin Islands with his wife, Henya, says he has been coordinating with "our friends in the Chabad community of Houston, Texas, just recovering from a natural disaster of their own" to ship a 40-foot container of provisions and much-needed aid, including generators, diapers, baby formula, batteries, cleaning items and other supplies.
"The way people have responded to this catastrophic challenge is astounding and has moved us deeply," says the rabbi. Describing the desperate situation on St. Thomas, Federman notes in an email that the island's landscape in some places is so scarred from fallen trees and damaged structures as to be almost unrecognizable.
Despite conditions on the island, Federman reports that he is determined to help provide for the Jewish community's spiritual and material needs during the upcoming High Holiday and Sukkot season.

Obama goes to war with Trump
The president suggests the presumptive GOP nominee is helping the terrorist cause.
President Obama at the White House
By Edward-Isaac Dovere
The shorter version of what President Barack Obama said Tuesday: Donald Trump is an idiot.
The slightly longer version: The presumptive Republican nominee is a dangerous manipulator who's either willfully or ignorantly out to damage the country and put more Americans in danger, all for the sake of propelling a brand of politics that responsible Republicans know they can't support.
As Obama himself put it — the day after Trump breached whatever was left of nonpartisan respect for the office in using his role as the party's standard bearer by suggesting the president was sympathetic to terrorists — the Republican's Muslim ban and other proposals would destroy the pluralism that makes "this country great, and then the terrorists would have won. And we cannot let that happen. I will not let that happen."
That razor-sharp response is what Obama's campaign for Hillary Clinton, fought on national security terms in the wake of a terrorist attack that's the deadliest shooting in American history, looks like: an attempt to juxtapose the politics of seriousness versus the politics of fear, and a demand to voters that they realize how much damage Trump has done just by being in the race.
While Monday's exchange was written off by weathered observers as just another back-and-forth on the campaign trail, it really was a new frontier: Trump's nudge-nudge, meta-birther Obama accusations, followed immediately by his one-time campaign staffer and now insistently unpaid adviser Roger Stone that top Clinton aide Huma Abedin is a Saudi agent of terrorism, then topped by a "they"-filled speech of casual slanders and pointed lies.
Obama responded in kind, going significantly further than he ever has, then throwing down to the rest of Trump's party who've spent the last day and a half dodging reporters looking to pin them down on Trump's views: "Do Republican officials actually agree with this?"
The White House and Clinton campaign are constantly in contact, but they say what happened Tuesday was organic.
("Muslims are our partners," said House Speaker Paul Ryan at a press conference Tuesday morning, while joining the attacks on the president for not doing enough to deal with the "radical Islam" threat and sticking by his Trump endorsement.)
Obama's time on the trail for Clinton was officially supposed to begin Wednesday in Wisconsin, a rah-rah celebration of all the reasons he's with her, full of hugs and smiles for the cameras and campaign commercial B-roll.
Orlando scrapped those plans. In the wake of Trump's response, Obama then turned a sober review of his administration's anti-terrorism efforts and the latest on the investigation following his pre-scheduled meeting with his National Security Council into his most searing attack on Trump yet. More than just not being serious enough for the job or saying disturbing things, Obama said the Republican has tipped into a new phase that will result in death and chaos — all for the sake of tweets and cable news coverage.
And Clinton's right on the same page — though the White House and her campaign deny there was explicit message coordination that led them to both land at the same time, on the same themes and even some of the same words ("there's no magic to the phrase 'radical Islam,'" he said, at almost the exact moment she said Trump is "fixated" on "magic words" that are supposed to stop the threat).
She issued the same challenge to Republicans: "Will they stand up to their presumptive Republican nominee or will they stand by?"
The problem with Trump, Obama said, isn't just what he's missing. It's the toxins he's putting into the political conversation with all his "yapping."
"We are starting to see this kind of rhetoric and loose talk and sloppiness about who we are fighting where this can lead us. We now have proposals from the presumptive Republican nominee of the United States, to bar all Muslims from immigrating into America. You hear language that singles out immigrants and the community are complacent in violence," Obama said. "Where does this stop?"
Last week, Obama and Clinton were in sync in their mocking of Trump, warning about electing him but laughing him off, built around their line that the presidency's not a reality show. They're still in sync, but the smiles are gone: according to their telling, he's not a cartoon bad guy or a James Bond villain, rather he's an evil, frothing maniac and everyone needs to wake up, quickly.
Clinton stayed in outright campaign mode, still sneering at Trump and encouraging the boos as she hit him for a speech full of "bizarre rants and outright lies," leaving the lacerating to Obama.
If Trump wants to talk terrorism, Obama seemed to say, he'll talk terrorism.
"Those are the values that ISIS is trying to destroy. We should not help them do it," Obama said. "Our diversity and respect for one another, our drawing on the talents of everybody in this country making sure that we are treating everybody fairly, we are not judging people on the basis of what faith they are or what race they are or ethnicity they are or what their sexual orientation is."
"Thank you to the LGBT community! I will fight for you while Hillary brings in more people that will threaten your freedoms and beliefs." — Trump via Twitter
"I'm not making the case that it's a coincidence, I'm actually making a pretty bold case that they agree that these are principles that are worth fighting for and articulating and that the use of the word radical Islam is a political talking point," said White House press secretary Josh Earnest. "That is not a counterterrorism strategy. And in fact to use that political talking point only gives our enemies the legitimacy that they are desperately craving. And giving them that legitimacy only makes it easier for them to recruit and making it easier for them to recruit makes it harder for us to keep the country safe."
Trump's most immediate response, issued of course on Twitter: "Thank you to the LGBT community! I will fight for you while Hillary brings in more people that will threaten your freedoms and beliefs."
In an emailed response to questions from the Associated Press Tuesday, Trump said the president "claims to know our enemy, and yet he continues to prioritize our enemy over our allies, and for that matter, the American people."
"When I am president, it will always be America first," he added.
Neither Obama nor Clinton responded to that.
But Obama had this to say after speaking at the United State of Women conference Tuesday and praising Clinton:
"I keep waiting for this whole lame duck to happen…let me tell you, it will happen as soon as I elect a really good successor."

HD190: Wanda Logan Selected as GOP Candidate
Now, the Republicans have their candidate.
Wanda Logan, a businesswoman, was selected to be the Republican nominee for the 190th House District special election to face Democrat G. Roni Green, a business agent for SEIU Local 668.
The special election to fill the seat vacated by state Rep. Movita Johnson-Harrell (D-Philadelphia), who resigned in December after being charged with theft, perjury, tampering with public records along with other crimes, will be held on February 25. This will be the second special election for this seat in less than a year after Johnson-Harrell was selected as the Democratic candidate in January 2018 after state Rep. Vanessa Lowery Brown (D-Philadelphia) resigned "under protest" when she was sentenced on a bribery conviction.
This will not be Logan's first attempt at the seat. She launched several bids in the Democratic primary for this seat from 2012-2018 against Brown, but was unsuccessful in each attempt.
According to a release from the Philadelphia Republican Party, Logan cited corruption, handling of schools, and drug epidemic as the reasons she left the Democratic Party to register as a Republican.
"I am honored to be selected as a Republican candidate for the 190th district, but the work is just beginning in the fight against corruption in West Philadelphia," Logan said in a release. "The voters deserve a competent community leader and businesswoman representing them. It's time for a new direction, to change the tarnished reputation of politics-as-usual in the 190th. Let's start putting the needs of the people first."
Philadelphia Republican Party Chairwoman Martina White, a state representative in Northeast Philadelphia, said that the local party was proud to endorse Logan.
"The Philadelphia Republican Party is proud to endorse Wanda Logan, a business owner and fighter for her district," White said. "We are looking forward to giving voters an anti-corruption option in the upcoming special election, so we can stop this revolving door from Democratic office-holder to jail cell in the 190th."
Johnson-Harrell cruised to victory in last year's special election for the seat, capturing 66% of the overall vote in the four person race for the Democratic stronghold.
Johnson-Harrell represented the 190th District from March-December 2019, while Brown held the seat from 2009 until 2018.

Where did GOP find a black woman Republican in Philly? Both of them were approached and only this one agreed to run?

I hope that the Democrat Ward Leaders in HD 190 are able to find a candidate this time that is able to stay out of prison. Hopefully, the third time will be a charm.


With another half term fast approaching Surrey is fortunate to boast loads of great family activities. If you haven't yet seen the penguins at Birdworld, at Holt Pound, Farnham, Surrey, GU10 4LD maybe this spring is the time.
To be found on the Surrey border with Hampshire Birdworld one of the largest bird parks in the UK, and is great for a fun and informative day out. In addition to being able to walk around 26 acres of aviaries and beautiful landscaped gardens, visitors can admire over 800 birds and 180 species from around the world. Throughout the day there are opportunities to take part in educational feeding sessions.
With bird watching or birding as it is now more often called has been made more and more popular through programmes like the BBC's Spring Watch and the RSPB's Big Garden Birdwatch and at Birdworld there is lots to learn and engage with. Some of the most popular Birdworld exhibits include The Terry Pratchett Owl Parliament, Penguin Beach and Flamingo Cove whilst. Underwater World and The Jenny Wren Farm also tend to prove popular with family visitors.
Upon arrival at Birdworld you will be able to find the times and details of what is happening on the day that you visit. There is so much to do a Birdworld that if you want a full day make sure you allow enough time for your visit and don't miss out on any of their events. They are open from 10am until 6pm (4.30pm during GMT) every day and you can buy tickets in advance online.

The weather took its toll at Baku's Beach Arena on Saturday evening with the men's quarter-finals getting underway just hours after the round of 16.
"It was more of a war than a high-level Beach Volleyball game. It was fighting to get the balls and maybe not even finishing them and then fighting again until the opponent makes a mistake," said Alexei Strasser of Switzerland.
He and partner Gabriel Kissling beat the previously undefeated Austrians, Tobias Winter and Lorenz Peter Petutschnig, 2-1 (18-21, 23-21, 15-12).
The loss was particularly tough for Petutschnig, who was forced into calling a medical timeout at 21-21 in the second set, suffering from heat-related problems. Having given the 22-year-old five minutes of treatment, the Austrian team physio confirmed Petutschnig's heart rate was racing and his vision was blurry.
Elite level sport can be a ruthless environment, and Kissling and Strasser had no hesitation in seizing their opportunity.
"We knew then we had to keep serving on him and he will make some mistakes," said Kissling.
The pair were, however, also mindful of their own physical condition.
"We wanted to finish it quick, like cutting the throat if someone is bleeding, but actually we had wounds as well," said Strasser.
Helped by two Strasser serves timed at a rapid 91 km/h, the Swiss just managed to keep their noses in front throughout the third set, taking it 15-12. Not bad for a fresh partnership, after Strasser's usual partner Beeler was injured in a pre-Games warm-up tournament.
The Beach Arena is clearly an inspiring place for new partnerships. Latvians Martins Plavins and Haralds Regza, who themselves are playing just their second tournament together, have also reached the semi-finals.
Russia's Dmitry Barsouk and Yaroslav Koshkarev and the Czech Republic's Premysl Kubala and Jan Hadrava are the other semi-finalists.
Together forever for Beach Volleyball twins?

We will adaptwr a business process that will have Adapter Tinco as start activity which will receive a message from the publication service of the specified adapter. Could you please help me in fixing this. Exception Handling If a subscriber adapter cannot write data to its destination table, it will write the data to the exception table You have to implement exception handling in the process.
This Question already has a 'Best Answer'. Polling agent will be keep looking for new inserts into publishing table and if it finds any then converts the record in p table into the specified wire format and publishes on specified quality of service. Adapter Subscriber Output tab shows the output of the subscriber activity. You need to create store procedure to call view.
How can you fine-tune an ADB Adapter? Haven't found what you are looking for?
Palette monitoring can be handled as embedded component in the process. Yes, in the adapter publisher table tab create a parent table first by look up and then add the child table using the add child tab then click on the child table column to specify the foreign key than to establish a relationship between the primary key of the parent and the foreign key of the child go to the column in the child table and specify the primary adapte of the parent table.
Adapter has embedded provision to switch Loop detection on when trying to sync data between source and target applications. Make sure that Working Directory points to the bin folder inside adapter itbco path as shown below:.
Once adapter is started, Start Button should change to Stop Button. When running as a subscriber, database adapter listens on a subject, receives messages and updates the relevant tables in its associated database. Useful when dealing with synchronous model and you need to take explicit action on transaction failure SQL Statements Useful when you are using straight forward and simple SQL statements Useful when the database operations are not straight forward i.
Publication Service Adapter Publication service extracts data from the changed rows of a database table and publishes them on appropriate subject names which are then subscribed by adapter subscriber adapteg starter. Thanks for the tutorial. What is publish by value and publish by reference.
It does not support data types like oracle long. Join ad a Free Demo. I tried it but i got a config error not sure why.
If so, how can we install it? We have created one adapter publication service and one business process. Completeness Very scalable component to handle both inbound and outbound messages. Just uncheck the columns you dont want to use. Explore Tibco Spotfire Sample Resumes!
This can be avoided using alerter. Custom RPC is another option to call store procedures using request response service. Transactions Volume Adapters are useful in high-to-medium load situations for both real-time and batch-updates. It will look as below after adding the table:. In this tutorial example, I have kept it to default without making any changes as shown below:.
Adapter are written using SDK and strictly adhere to standard error viewing and handling.
On Main table you can apply triggers to get real time data. Hope this will help you. Hope you doubts are clear.
Ease of Data Transformation, parsing and mapping Data is transformed to desired protocol format JMS etc at the source. This process will have a Afb Subscriber activity as its process starter. Once we adqpter our adapter as well as process ready in the tester, its time to play with our database table to fire the event. Hi Ajmal, Tjbco was trying to configure the ODBC as mentioned in the screen shots but the way it is displayed in the screen shot and the way it is displayed to me is a bit differentdoes it change with the OS?
This table required full authentication. Your email address will not be published. JDBC palette for both run-time and design-time operates in the same way. Using Start Buton, start the adapter. In this tutorial, we will be covering publication service of database adapter. Please provide the necessary information about the Certification. Explain the pros and cons?
This will be the service for which this subscriber will adaptet listening on a given subject. Now we are done with setting up all required bricks and blocks of our building and now is the time to test it. If yes please let us know configuration details. Can we filter the records from publishing when they get updated in source table? Adapter Publication Service gets the information, process having adapter subscriber subscribes the request and process runs to its completion as shown below:.
Now our last step in this tutorial is to check in the text file that we adaptfr in our process and verify that employee record has been written in the file:.

More Migrants And Refugees Died This Year Than Ever Before
And there is no end to the phenomenon in sight.
The journey across land and sea in search of a better life has never been deadlier. This year, a record number of migrants and refugees died on the journey to Europe, even though the total number of people who make these crossings has gone way down.
More than 5,000 lives were lost his year in the Mediterranean Sea as of Dec. 23, according to the International Organization for Migration and the U.N. Refugee Agency. That's up from 3,771 in 2015, when more than 1 million migrants and refugees crossed into Europe by sea.
But only 351,080 migrants and refugees entered Europe by sea in 2016, compared to 883,393 in 2015, the IOM added.
"The first half of 2016 saw a 37 percent increase in the number of recorded deaths and disappearances across the Mediterranean Sea, compared to the same period in 2015," an IOM study said.
The 2016 figures boil down to one death for every 88 arrivals, said William Spindler, UNHCR spokesman.

2016 & Smuggling
The central Mediterranean ― the stretch of sea between Libya and Italy ― was 2016's focal point. While it's been a gateway into Europe for tens of thousands of migrants over the years, the dangerous stretch of sea has grown more deadly due to the increasingly unsafe methods smugglers use to transport people.
Half of all migrants who crossed into Europe took the central Med route, Spindler said. "But between Libya and Italy the likelihood of dying is even higher, at one death for every 47 arrivals," he said.
International attention shifted from the eastern Mediterranean, the area that experienced the vast majority of crossings in 2015, when the European Union and Turkey struck a deal in March that cut off most illegal sea travel between Turkey and Greece. Turkey agreed to seal off its borders, restricting the movements of migrants and refugees, in exchange for more E.U. funding.
Arrivals to Greece fell by 98 percent as a result, the IOM said, and no deaths were recorded on this route in May and June. An average of 69 people are currently rescued daily in the Mediterranean UNHCR senior public information officer Chris Boian told The Huffington Post.
Two key factors play into the high death rate in the central Mediterranean compared to other routes: Smugglers carry people on unsafe crafts that are prone to capsizing and the journey is longer, which makes it more difficult for search and rescue boats to locate and assist sinking vessels.
"Human smugglers are using rafts and crafts that are not able to withstand [the weight of so many people]," Boian said. "They're loading those boats up way beyond capacity."

Rescuers with the Migrant Offshore Aid Station (MOAS) take part in a training exercise in order to respond to ships in distress just out of Libyan waters.
Where's The International Action?
The record death rate in 2016 casts a shadow over what could have been a year of unprecedented international action to address the refugee crisis.
The United Nations General Assembly hosted its first-ever summit on migrants and refugees in September, during which member states made commitments to tackle the issue.
President Barack Obama even convened his own leaders' summit during the General Assembly where world and business leaders came together to pledge more financial assistance to refugees.
But these grand gestures haven't translated into much progress.
"The phenomenon of refugees trying to cross the Mediterranean sea in unseaworthy crafts at night with their children is still taking place and it is a tragedy," Boian said. "It is costing lives."
In the central Mediterranean, governments and international organizations have shifted their focus to lifesaving and anti-smuggling operations, carried out through search and rescue operations.
The E.U. flotilla Operation Sophia, in action since last year, is one such example. It aims to disrupt the business model of human traffickers and smugglers, according to a European Union External Action, or EEAS, official.
It has apprehended 101 suspected smugglers and traffickers and neutralized 352 ships as of late October, the official said. But some fear that search and rescue missions fail to disrupt smugglers' networks. Instead, they simply adapt their methods to keep their lucrative business going. The Africa-Europe route and the South America-North America route generate about $6.75 billion per year for smugglers.
Destroying vessels has simply resulted in smugglers shifting from using wooden boats to rubber dinghies, which are even more unsafe," a U.K. Parliament report found. "There are also significant limits to the intelligence that can be collected about onshore smuggling networks from the high seas."
"Smugglers just use cheaper boats that are terrible quality," said Aurélie Ponthieu, a displacement specialist with Doctors Without Borders. "The people we're rescuing have said that there are still tens of thousands waiting in Libya to do the crossing."
One of the major challenges with carrying out successful anti-smuggling operations in the central Mediterranean is the inability to access Libyan waters, as boats can only enter with U.N. approval. Libya's coastguard is in tatters due to years of lawlessness, so Operation Sophia has expanded its mandate to now train members of coastguard, the EEAS official said. This training is expected to run through February 2017.

The dead bodies of migrants that washed ashore are seen in body bags at a beach in the coastal town of Tajoura, east of Tripoli, Libya December 7, 2016.
Projections For 2017
The outlook for next year remains bleak, especially because the conditions back home that force people to flee haven't improved.
The war in Syria, for example, presses on without any end in sight. War and instability in East Africa as well as in Yemen continues to create two-way migrant and refugee flows across the Red Sea. More than 100,000 people embarked on the journey to Yemen this year from the Horn of Africa, according to UNHCR, even though it's a country ravaged by conflict. That's about 13,000 more than last year.
Going into 2017, there are still about 65 million people displaced from their home: about one-third are refugees ― the highest these figures have been since World War II.
"What is missing is still a very clear, coordinated international policy vision on how the situation is going to be truly resolved," Boian said.
"When people are crossing in such large numbers all [types] of situations are going to arise and it's everybody's job to try to stop this," he added. "It's really not complicated."

A good industry development starts whilst right architect. An architect is concerned not only with the concept but even the planning as well as designing of a building or any real estate generation. A degree in architecture equips one with the familiarity with the building and operational codes which have been to be adhered for every architectural design.
An architect is trained such that he/she transforms owner's needs and demands into design subsequently into physical develop. This implies that he/she should have total training that will aid in your building of safe and healthy construction for those and the forums. Architects have to obtain licenses learn the correct architecture as their building designs and planning decisions play a vital role previously safety and security of the communal.
Architects specialize various fields among architecture i.e., land, land development, buildings, office parks, residential, landscape and the similar. This specialization is a result of your increasingly fragmented, demanding and concentrated market. Thus, it is difficult for distinct architect to give some thought to the know-how every and every of these fields and to accommodate the distinct demands of different accounts.
An architect plays a very significant role in a project from its conception to its buildings. The final physical form of a building or any real estate development is designed by an architect who obviously considers the desires and needs of the end user. As such, it is important determine an architect that well qualified as well as experienced in the specialized field that you choose. An architect who has been in business for a minimum 5-10 years possess developed a strong foundation of relevant concepts. He/she must possess the skills, knowledge and experience needed for a high-quality and fascinating activity. This indicates that it is crucial to review an architect's qualifications prior to selection; his/her degree, experience and license – all must be checked before one hands over the project. An important point to note is that he/she should be experienced for five plus years in impact field of progress project and only as a general architect.
Having said the need for educational qualifications, renewable energy to review an architect's affiliations and accreditations. An achieved architect should be also affiliated with a trustworthy institution, for instance, the American Institute of Architects (AIA), Royal Architectural Institute of Canada, Royal Institute of British Architects and so on. Affiliation with such institutes demonstrates an architect's credibility and popularity in the field. An architect who is affiliated and accredited by similar professional architectural organizations has certainly passed their comprehensive requirements. This is the strong recognition along with proof of their achievement. However, mere affiliation is not the only consideration before choosing an architect. Other relevant factors and elements should be considered so how the ultimate decision is comprised bearing all concerns in mind.
Geographical area of specialty is also an important depth. Some architects are specialized and well-aware of certain area(s), and as such their scope pretty limited to those areas. Although he/she may excel in architecture and domains in some area(s), this doesn't ensure that he/she will be eager to deliver equivalent results in the area among the project's requirement. Thus, this aspect should also be kept in worry about.
Certain other conditions are also relevant merely because they ascertain whether a task will be successful and simultaneously your own home relationship between the client and the architect is sound and pleasant. A good architect should possess good communication skills and should be responsive of the client's questions and/or queries. This most certainly an important factor, which ensures the finishing of the project promptly and on good terms. For your relationship with the architect to be successful, the architect you ultimately select should, by all means, follow up on calls and emails and should keep his/her word on different aspects regarding the project.
An architect's connections are a reflection of his/her success and achievement and also political and negotiation skills. One who is well connected is definitely contacts like city planners and those in political processes is most certainly preferred as opposed to his/her counterparts with relatively few connections and contacts. An additional factor is an architect's membership of local clubs just as the Kiwanis, Toastmasters, Knights of Columbus, Rotary etc. An associated member is definitely a better client.

Gardeners can dig up ideas, advice on the Web
Web posted at: 7 p.m. EDT
From CNN Interactive Writer Kristin Lemmerman
(CNN) -- Judging from the plethora of technical sites accessible through the World Wide Web, you'd think nobody who's on-line now ever steps outside. A small but healthy number of other Web sites prove the opposite is true.
Some Net denizens not only step outside, they take a spade and gloves with them as they walk out the door.
There are several "green thumb" sites for computer-savvy gardeners. Some sites answer gardening questions; others offer advice through articles. Still others are designed by gardeners to show off the fruits (and flowers) of their labors.
Here are a few of the best.
GardenNet's The Ardent Gardener
This easy-to-navigate site bills itself as the Internet's "only weekly gardening publication." Like a magazine, it has regular features. "Over the Fence," for example, offers tips on new and unusual plants, garden design, and the editor's garden philosophizing.
Most gardeners, new and otherwise, will probably find the "Ask the Ardent Gardener" section to be the most useful. Gardeners post questions, ranging from "How do I salvage my Christmas poinsettia" to "Is there any tree in the world that deer won't eat?" The gardening expert in charge of the site posts the answers.
Look for a new search engine in the near future that will make the site's Q&A section even more useful, allowing anyone interested in saving their poinsettias to browse the questions and find the answer themselves. The Ardent Gardener promises that the search tool is on the way.
Washington State Gardening Unlimited
Atlanta Garden Connection
Ohio State University WebGarden
What worked in your grandmother's Oregon garden probably won't carry over to your garden in Mississippi. These sites are among those available when you need advice from somebody with the same weather you have.
The three sites listed above are just a few of the many good sites available that deal with gardening specifics in their region. You might go there to find out what ornamental bushes do well in your area, learn whether there are specific blights affecting your food crops, or look up a checklist of yard care chores by season.
However, each site does have features that cross regional boundaries. The Ohio State WebGarden site, for example, has a dandy on-line image database where you can search for information on more than 250 different ornamental plants.
Gardening Unlimited, a site run out of Oregon, incorporates local Extension Agency information into its layout instead of treating extension agents like a separate species, as many sites do.
Among its general offerings are tips for garden projects almost any gardener would find interesting -- for example, detailed instructions on building your own cedar window box.
No clue what to plant in your new cedar garden box? The Atlanta Garden Connection published a lengthy article full of ideas this month. All the Atlanta Garden Connection's articles are easy to find, listed by subject matter in their features section. And for gardeners who live near Atlanta, the site gives a comprehensive list of area resources, shows, and seminars.
Joe & Mindy's WebGarden
Joe & Mindy's falls in a very small way into the "made to make you drool" category. It is extremely image-heavy, and beautiful. For those with modems without the power to cope, the link to a text-only version is placed high on the page.
What Joe & Mindy do best, though, is present links, according to category, to a multitude of gardening sites on the Web. It's organized, it's well laid out, and it's comprehensive. If you need something and don't know where in the Web to find it, go here.
