Key Finding: This chart shows the survival rate of instituted claims in pharmaceutical IPR proceedings that reached a final written decision. While survival rate drops by roughly half compared to pre-institution pharmaceutical cases, the post-institution survival rate shown here (about 48%) is significantly higher than the overall post-institution survival rate for IPR proceedings across all technology areas (about 19%). This analysis does not factor in challenges that did not reach a decision on the merits because of settlement, or redundancies (which were deemed immaterial).


Polish consumers appreciate products that are perceived as comfortable if required to be used throughout the day. Within sanitary protection, slim/thin/ultra-thin towels are perceived to offer this attribute, with this product driving sales of the overall category in 2018.
Pantyliners, despite being a mature product in Polish sanitary protection, witnessed steady current value growth in 2018. Consumers tend to use pantyliners more frequently to maintain their everyday comfort.
Polish consumers are turning away from standard towels without wings to use alternative products. The key factor that has thwarted sales of standard towels without wings is the fact that they are perceived as uncomfortable and outdated.
Procter & Gamble retained its leadership of sanitary protection in 2018 in Poland, gaining further value share. High sales are due to a very large product portfolio as well as strong presence with new product development.
Private label offered by discounters, health and beauty specialist retailers and hypermarkets developed a strong position within Polish sanitary protection. Discounters such as Biedronka lead sales of private label sanitary protection, quickly developing by offering a growing number of products.
Alongside Johnson & Johnson, Carrefour Polska recorded the fastest current value growth for pantyliners in 2018, due to the ongoing popularity of this product in Poland. Another reason that contributed to the popularity of Carrefour's products is the rapidly developing range of Carrefour retailers, which allows it reach out to a higher number of consumers.

Q: Evaluate $\int_{-\infty}^\infty \frac{\cos x}{9+10x^2+x^4}dx$ Evaluate the integral
$$\int_{-\infty}^\infty \frac{\cos x}{9+10x^2+x^4}dx$$
The idea is to use contour integration. So I know I can factor the denominator to $(x^2+1)(x^2+9)$ but don't know where to go from here. any hints would greatly be appreciated.

A: STEPS:

*

*$\cos x=\Re(e^{ix})$

*continue the contour on the upper side. Why? $$z=x+iy\\e^{iz}=e^{ix}e^{-y}$$So for $y>0$ the limit at infinity goes to zero.

*factor further the denominator into $(x-i)(x+i)(x-3i)(x+3i)$

*See which piles are in the upper half

*...

If you have issue with the first step, split the integral into an integral of $e^{iz}$ and an integral of $e^{-iz}$. But for one you need to integrate the upper half plane, for the other one you integrate the lower half plane (see the reason in the second step).

A: Notice that $$\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\frac{\cos(x)}{9+10x^2+x^4}\,\mathrm{d}x=\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\frac{\mathfrak{Re}\left(e^{ix}\right)}{(x^2+1)(x^2+9)}\,\mathrm{d}x=\mathfrak{Re}\left(\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\frac{e^{ix}}{(x+i)(x-i)(x+3i)(x-3i)}\,\mathrm{d}x\right).$$ To evaluate this, you should use a contour with two parts: $\gamma_R=\gamma_{R_0}\cup\gamma_{R_1},$ where $\gamma_{R_0}:[-R,R]\rightarrow\mathbb{C},\,\gamma_{R_0}(t)=t,$ and $\gamma_{R_1}:[-\pi,\pi]\rightarrow\mathbb{C},\,\gamma_{R_1}(t)=Re^{it},$ so that $\gamma_{R_0}$ is the diameter of a circle, and $\gamma_{R_1}$ is the upper semicircle. As such, the contour $\gamma_R$ encloses the singularities $i$ and $3i.$ Therefore, what you have is that $$\oint_{\gamma_R}\frac{e^{ix}}{(x+i)(x-i)(x+3i)(x-3i)}\,\mathrm{d}x=2\pi{i}\left[\lim_{x\to{i}}\frac{e^{ix}}{(x+i)(x+3i)(x-3i)}+\lim_{x\to3i}\frac{e^{ix}}{(x+i)(x-i)(x+3i)}\right]=2\pi\left(\frac1{16e}-\frac1{48e^3}\right)=\frac{\pi}8\left(\frac1{e}-\frac1{3e^3}\right)$$ and $$\oint_{\gamma_R}\frac{e^{ix}}{(x+i)(x-i)(x+3i)(x-3i)}\,\mathrm{d}x=\int_{\gamma_{R_0}}\frac{e^{ix}}{(x+i)(x-i)(x+3i)(x-3i)}\,\mathrm{d}x+\int_{\gamma_{R_1}}\frac{e^{ix}}{(x+i)(x-i)(x+3i)(x-3i)}\,\mathrm{d}x.$$ Therefore, $$\int_{\gamma_{R_0}}\frac{e^{ix}}{(x+i)(x-i)(x+3i)(x-3i)}\,\mathrm{d}x+\int_{\gamma_{R_1}}\frac{e^{ix}}{(x+i)(x-i)(x+3i)(x-3i)}\,\mathrm{d}x=\frac{\pi}8\left(\frac1{e}-\frac1{3e^3}\right).$$ This is equivalent to $$\mathfrak{Re}\left[\int_{\gamma_{R_0}}\frac{e^{ix}}{x^4+10x^2+9}\,\mathrm{d}x+\int_{\gamma_{R_1}}\frac{e^{ix}}{x^4+10x^2+9}\,\mathrm{d}x\right]=\mathfrak{Re}\left[\int_{\gamma_{R_0}}\frac{e^{ix}}{x^4+10x^2+9}\,\mathrm{d}x\right]+\mathfrak{Re}\left[\int_{\gamma_{R_1}}\frac{e^{ix}}{x^4+10x^2+9}\,\mathrm{d}x\right]=\int_{\gamma_{R_0}}\frac{\cos(x)}{x^4+10x^2+9}\,\mathrm{d}x+\mathfrak{Re}\left[\int_{\gamma_{R_1}}\frac{e^{ix}}{x^4+10x^2+9}\,\mathrm{d}x\right]=\frac{\pi}8\left(\frac1{e}-\frac1{3e^3}\right),$$ which is equivalent to $$\int_{\gamma_{R_0}}\frac{\cos(x)}{x^4+10x^2+9}\,\mathrm{d}x=\frac{\pi}8\left(\frac1{e}-\frac1{3e^3}\right)-\mathfrak{Re}\left[\int_{\gamma_{R_1}}\frac{e^{ix}}{x^4+10x^2+9}\,\mathrm{d}x\right].$$ Notice that $$\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\frac{\cos(x)}{x^4+10x^2+9}\,\mathrm{d}x=\lim_{R\to\infty}\int_{\gamma_{R_0}}\frac{\cos(x)}{x^4+10x^2+9}\,\mathrm{d}x,$$ so $$\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\frac{\cos(x)}{x^4+10x^2+9}\,\mathrm{d}x=\frac{\pi}8\left(\frac1{e}-\frac1{3e^3}\right)-\lim_{R\to\infty}\mathfrak{Re}\left[\int_{\gamma_{R_1}}\frac{e^{ix}}{x^4+10x^2+9}\,\mathrm{d}x\right].$$ Since $\mathbb{C}$ forms a Banach space over $\mathbb{R},$ $$\lim_{R\to\infty}\mathfrak{Re}\left[\int_{\gamma_{R_1}}\frac{e^{ix}}{x^4+10x^2+9}\,\mathrm{d}x\right]=\mathfrak{Re}\left[\lim_{R\to\infty}\int_{\gamma_{R_1}}\frac{e^{ix}}{x^4+10x^2+9}\,\mathrm{d}x\right],$$ hence $$\int_{-\infty}^{\infty}\frac{\cos(x)}{x^4+10x^2+9}\,\mathrm{d}x=\frac{\pi}8\left(\frac1{e}-\frac1{3e^3}\right)-\mathfrak{Re}\left[\lim_{R\to\infty}\int_{\gamma_{R_1}}\frac{e^{ix}}{x^4+10x^2+9}\,\mathrm{d}x\right].$$ All that remains is to prove that $$\lim_{R\to\infty}\int_{\gamma_{R_1}}\frac{e^{ix}}{x^4+10x^2+9}\,\mathrm{d}x=0.$$ However, I will leave that to you as an exercise.

Anne Smarzik of Relics Jewelry & Gift Emporium proudly holds the Judge's Trophy she won last year at the first annual Wassail competition in Bastrop, Texas. This year she won the People's Choice award at the event, while Caledonia Cottage Quilts won the Judge's prize for an alcoholic wassail.
Some 15 local businesses in this town east of Austin vied for the coveted trophy, mostly with non-alcoholic versions of this Christmas tradition. Anne told me her recipe has been handed down through five generations of women, and she has daughters to continue the tradition. Her secret recipe, consisting of about 8 ingredients, derives from England where she was born.


The T165 Laser Pulser incorporates an edge triggered pulse generator with fast rise and fall times into a butterfly or TO-packaged laser. The 2" by 2" design connects directly to standard 0.1" pin-pitch butterfly laser packages, making it ideal for OEM use in laser systems.
For a laser driver without a built-in pulse generator, see the T160 Laser Driver.

I was wondering if you could send me in the right direction, I recently lost my CBR125 key and tried contacting Honda but they wanna charge me over $450 for a new one.. So I was wondering if I could bring my bike to a locksmith and a copy of my ownership paperwork and they could help me out? Or my ignition? I just think paying over $450 is ridiculous..


We've gotten a lot of value out of our affiliate program. It's essentially a sales force that works entirely on commission.
The first thing is to look for people who wrote product reviews.
People who review products generally sign up for affiliate programs, because they're looking to earn money through their recommendations.
We've already written extensively about how to do that in NinjaOutreach.
My only additional recommendation is to make sure that anyone who agrees to a guest post, product review, giveaway, etc, signs up to your affiliate program (it's in their best interest).
We also include this on our outreach scripts for any kind of link building, like Resource Page link building, as another way to entice people.
You can also search for affiliates directly using our three different search tabs, Websites & Blogs, Instagram Influencers, and Twitter Influencers.
Additionally, if you have websites you've already found, you can always import them into the tool - there are hundreds of marketing forums, and affiliate directories you could go through.
It's important when outreaching to affiliates to explain the value to them and their audience.
Frankly, affiliates want to know how they can make money.
This often means talking about the commissions and conversion rates (if you have that data), that they can expect.
My name is Dave and I run NinjaOutreach.com - a blogger outreach software, which helps marketers find bloggers to promote their businesses.
We're looking for affiliates for our software and I think you'd be a great fit.
We have a fantastic program where we offer 50% monthly recurring commissions.
The price of our product ranges from $19 - $149/month so each sale is worth quite a lot.
More importantly, however, we have a great product that provides real value to its users, which is why our free trial to paid converts at over 30%.
If you're interested in talking through this some more, I'd love for you to set up a call with me at https://calendly.com/ninjaoutreach.
I can walk you through the software and set you up with a free account (that honestly could come in handy for your business regardless).
The call won't take very long and we can get your questions answered right away.
We customize our approach for each individual affiliate based on his/her needs.
Lastly, if you know anyone you can refer me to, we are happy to offer a 10% finder's fee as well.


As previously advised on this website, Oxfordshire County Council is withdrawing all its bus subsidies from 21 July, which put 118 bus services at risk of being cancelled altogether. This included both the services 18 and 19 which serve our parish.
The bus operators have been examining whether and how they could continue to operate the services at risk without subsidy.
We have now been formally advised by Oxfordshire County that service 18 (Clanfield to Oxford via Aston & Cote) will end on 20 July.
However, service 19 (Carterton to Witney via Aston) will continue with a revised route and timetable. This is possible through the use of some funding previously provided by developers in the area served by the route.
The service will only continue if it is financially viable, and it is likely that this will be subject to a trial period (probably six months). It really is a case of use it or lose it!

Okay, So What Exactly Is the Impeachment Process?
Donald Trump's impeachment has been fantasized about for years. But much like any time a fantasy comes to reality — scoring a dream job, accepting a proposal, finishing a weeks-long "Game of Thrones" binge — the moment is often followed by an urgent sense of: WTF happens next?!
All in favor of Dua Lipa releasing a remix of 'New Rules,' but just about the rules of impeachment, say I. Until then, you have me. Let's run this down.
In honor of Nancy Pelosi, I am about to get going on some work stuff that I really should have done months ago.
— Ken Jennings (@KenJennings) September 24, 2019
For starters, the final straw on impeachment came after the President's phone-a-friend moment with the Ukrainian President, who FYI became President after starring in a TV show where a celebrity becomes President. I guess they had a lot to catch up on.
And no, they didn't talk about the differences between craft services in the U.S. and Ukraine. Instead, Trump admitted to trying to influence Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate Joe Biden at the same time he had frozen US military aid to Ukraine, which the country relies upon given a very recent history of Russian aggression. The thing is, you're REALLY not supposed to leverage national security resources to extort another nation into digging up dirt on your political opponents.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi announced a formal impeachment "inquiry" following Trump's own admission he spoke to Zelensky about the Bidens. The release of a rough transcript of the call and a subsequent whistleblower complaint alleging that the White House attempted to conceal records of the call convinced even more Democrats that impeachment is the only reasonable response.
For what it's worth, this is pretty historic — impeachment has only happened twice in the U.S., with past Presidents Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton. Richard Nixon would be on the list but he upped the game by resigning before the impeachment could happen.
If you're sitting there and you're like, "F*CK YES, IMPEACHMENT!" but also at the same time want to say, "Siri, what exactly is impeachment?" it's okay, we got you. Not everyone knows exactly what it is and the steps required for it because luckily, we haven't had to do it a lot.
Impeachment is a process rather than a singular act. So it's not like unmatching with that sketchy dude on Hinge, but rather showing your friends his profile that says "his ideal first date is hiking" and letting them deliberate. That's exactly what will happen now that Democrats in the House of Representatives have largely to get this show on the road.
Lawmakers pursue impeachment if they believe a president or federal official has committed "treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors." which if you saw the "rough transcript" of the call made by Trump and the even more damning whistleblower complaint on the matter… you can connect the dots on that. Lawmakers in favor of impeachment do not have to prove a crime was committed in order to justify an official condemnation of misconduct or even removal — the idea is that the office of the president is sacred, and misdeeds that fall short of criminal behavior still disqualify someone from serving as president.
However, it's worth noting that there is broad consensus that President Trump did commit a crime by soliciting campaign assistance from a foreign government.
If you're also scratching your head and wondering, "haven't we been talking about impeaching him since Meghan Trainor was relevant?" you're correct. However, this is the first time the actual steps to investigate Trump's misbehavior are formally taken as part of an "impeachment inquiry." After the Mueller Report was released, everyone was divided on whether to start the impeachment process — mainly Nancy Pelosi and other veteran Democrats concerned about the political consequences with the upcoming 2020 election.
In the coming weeks, the House will determine whether to formally impeach the president, then the Senate holds a trial to consider his or her removal. (It should be known that both Johnson and Clinton were impeached, but acquitted in the Senate.) After that trial, two-thirds of Senators must vote in favor of removing the president.
First, Nancy Pelosi will direct six committee chairs already investigating Trump's sketchy moves detailed in the Russia investigation and attempts to profit off the presidency to consider these new impeachable offenses as well. These committees will then bring their findings to the House Judiciary Committee, which will vote to determine if articles of impeachment should go to the full House of Representatives. Translation: Your school's social committee broke up into six different groups to look at a venue for a school dance— they take those findings to the group and they decide if it's worth bringing it to the kind of sad teacher who runs the social committee or not.
If it seems worthwhile, and the majority votes in favor – the President is then impeached. This is where it gets interesting because he or she then has a choice: be impeached and fight for your office or just resign. Like we mentioned earlier, Clinton and Johnson fought against impeachment and won — but Nixon just resigned cause he knew he wouldn't be getting the support from the Republican Party.
If he chooses to fight? The trail goes to Senate where basically the House is the prosecutor, the President is the defense and the Senate is the jury. And unfortunately, the Senate has a Republican majority — so 20 Republicans will have to turn on him.
Trump loves to be best, so maybe he'll be the best at impeachment and get everyone to unanimously vote him out.
a house impeachment would be the first popular vote trump ever won
— ziwe (@ziwe) September 24, 2019
Or, he can just resign.
Or, nothing really changes but we can laugh at him for being impeached while donating to the level-headed candidate of our choosing for 2020. The Hunger Games!!

Home Headlines In a Battered New York Workplace Market, Life Science Is Flourishing
In a Battered New York Workplace Market, Life Science Is Flourishing
The coronavirus pandemic, which has paid more attention to health care and sparked a heated race for a Covid-19 vaccine, has also sparked interest in life science real estate in New York.
The city had already tried to keep up with other life science powerhouses like Boston, San Diego, and San Francisco. Real estate companies, with government support, had built commercial laboratories for medical researchers, incubator rooms for biotech start-ups, and offices for pharmaceutical companies ready to bring new drugs to market.
Funds from investors are now pouring into such projects at a time when the city's office market is plagued by lockdowns and work from home orders. Office availability in Manhattan increased from 11.8 percent in the same period last year to 14.1 percent in the third quarter, while the average rent fell about 1 percent, according to Newmark, a commercial real estate consultancy.
Developers jump on the life science train, which has turned out to be a ray of hope in an uncertain picture for commercial real estate. According to a report from CBRE, a real estate services company, the average rent for laboratories in Manhattan is around $ 105 per square foot.
Experts warn it may be too early to celebrate a turnaround, but developers are storming forward.
The latest move comes from Taconic Investment Partners, which just announced plans to convert a former car dealership on the West Side of Manhattan into a life science center. The building was constructed for Chrysler in 1929, but ABC has lived in it for decades. When the Walt Disney Company, which owns the television network, heads downtown in January, Taconic will begin an overhaul of the building in partnership with Nuveen Real Estate, said Matthew Weir, senior vice president at Taconic.
"We think this is a game changer in New York," he added.
The city has long had essential ingredients for life sciences to thrive. It has leading universities and academic medical centers – the places where scientific breakthroughs and life science companies are often born. And it's teeming with chemists, biomedical engineers, and other life science professionals.
Funding for research facilities in the city from the National Institutes of Health, the federal government's biomedical research agency, has increased every year since 2016, totaling $ 2.2 billion last year, second only to the Boston area.
However, New York lacked laboratories and other areas where entrepreneurs would have to set up their businesses and use drugs for clinical trials and eventually commercial production.
As a result, young biotech companies tended to go elsewhere. For example, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, which emerged from research by Columbia University, moved 30 miles north to Tarrytown, NY. The company, which had sales of more than $ 7.8 billion in 2019, is recently conducting trials for a Covid-19 antibody treatment given by President Trump.
Things began to change in 2010 when Alexandria, a California-based life science complex developer, opened a gleaming tower known as the Alexandria Center for Life Sciences in New York City on the East Side of Manhattan on the hospital corridor known as Bedpan Alley. The location reflects the belief that developments in the life sciences must be close to research facilities in order to form "clusters". In 2014, Alexandria completed the second of three planned towers on its campus.
Government initiatives have been launched to encourage such efforts that promise high-paying jobs and tax revenues. In 2016, New York launched a $ 500 million life science initiative led by the city's Economic Development Corporation. In 2017, New York State unveiled its own $ 620 million plan.
Deerfield Management Company, a healthcare investment firm, is a beneficiary of the city program. It will receive nearly $ 100 million in tax credits for converting a 12-story building in the Flatiron neighborhood into a vertical campus with lab space, lecture halls, and offices for nonprofit groups and academic institutions.
Retrofitting a building for life sciences can be a huge undertaking. According to some estimates, while the cost is cheaper and faster than building from scratch, it can be four times the cost of converting a building for office use.
Not every building is suitable for conversion, said Peter Schubert, partner at Ennead Architects who has worked on life science projects. The best candidates have large floor slabs, are structurally tough to avoid vibration that can be catastrophic in laboratory work, and have high ceilings that can accommodate the extensive plumbing required for improved ventilation. Electrical systems have to meet an increased demand for electricity. For example, loading docks may need to separate the safe arrival of tissue samples and the removal of chemical waste. Although earlier production facilities often fit into the bill, "it really builds from building to building," said Schubert.
The challenges haven't discouraged developers.
Taconic's upcoming project will be part of an emerging life science cluster on the West Side of Manhattan. The developer, who works with Silverstein Properties, has already renamed a nearby former film production studio the Hudson Research Center and leased rental space to tenants such as the New York Stem Cell Foundation.
The plans for the new project were drawn up by Perkins & Will, an architecture firm, and call for the brick and concrete facade to be replaced with glass and shiny aluminum. A helical car ramp, a holdover from the days of the building's showroom, becomes the focal point of the reborn interior. The renovation is expected to be completed in early 2023, Weir said.
Other projects are ongoing in a growing life science cluster in West Harlem near Columbia University, where Janus Property Company is retrofitting old brick factory buildings for tenants, including Harlem Biospace, an incubator that provides collaborative laboratory space. Janus is also building the 350,000 square meter Taystee Lab Building on the site of a former bread bakery.
A flood of private venture capital for the companies that would avail such projects has only piqued interest.
"Every week a developer buys a building to convert to life sciences," said Joshua King, executive managing director of Cushman & Wakefield, a commercial real estate company. He said he and his colleagues were constantly taking calls from landlords to consider moving from office to lab.
But the life science boom is a boomlet at best.
Of the nearly 500 million square feet of office space in New York, less than two million square feet are being redeveloped for laboratories or marketed solely for the life sciences, with more in the pipeline. (For comparison, Boston is roughly 30 million square feet.)
Life Science "is by no means going to be an office saver in New York," said William Hartman, executive managing director at Cushman & Wakefield. "It won't solve the problem of large office space."
"We may experience a premature exuberance," he added.
The availability for buildings marketed for laboratories is 30.5 percent according to the CBRE report, although the availability for prefabricated space is only 2.3 percent.
"The reality is that demand is limited," said John H. Cunningham, executive vice president, Alexandria. "There are a handful of companies in the market that are kicking tires."
However, Lindsay Greene, chief strategy officer at Economic Development Corporation, predicted that demand would catch up with supply as companies at the seed stage secure funding and move from incubators to their own premises. "There is a catch-up effect," she said. "We have to allow time for it to play out."
Some existing life science rooms have served pandemic-related endeavors. The city has set up its Pandemic Response Lab at the Alexandria Center to run coronavirus testing.
Still, the future of the sector will depend on tenants who will survive the pandemic. It takes about 25 years for a life science sector to mature.
"Our goal is not to overtake another city," said Ms. Greene, "but to be in a peer group with them."

Postcolonial Studies Research Seminar Series
Depressed States: Narratives of Mental Health and Neo-colonialism
As part of the Post Colonial Research Seminar Series (2017-2018), Dr Amy Rushton presents: 'Depressed States: Narratives of Mental Health and Neo-colonialism'.
From: Wednesday 29 November 2017, 1 pm
To: Wednesday 29 November 2017, 2 pm
Location: 101, Mary Ann Evans, Nottingham Trent University, Clifton Campus, Clifton Lane, Nottingham, NG11 8NS
As part of Dr Amy Rushton's current research-in-progress: tentatively titled 'Depressed States', Dr Rushton's project explores how twentieth century and contemporary novels narrativize chronic mental health issues — specifically, severe and suicidal depression. Dr Rushton is particularly interested in how fictional narratives intervene and disrupt 'common sense' ideas of mental health as perpetuated by neoliberal policy and ideologies since WWII. Dr Rushton argues that fictional narratives open up new ways of understanding mental health as symptomatic of an unsustainable neoliberal worldview and alert us to the consequences of ongoing psychiatric and psychological (neo-)colonialism. More importantly, Dr Rushton argues that fictional narratives potentially offer modes of resistance to such discourse and practice.
Dr Rushton shall be making reference to the chapter she is currently writing for World Literature, Neoliberalism and the Culture of Discontent (ed. Sharae Deckard and Stephen Shapiro for Palgrave's New Comparisons in World Literature series), which discusses narratives of suicide and rejection of neoliberalism in recent North American novels. Dr Rushton will also refer to material on the depressive colonial subject and resistance in classic Anglophone African novels: this is material for a new lecture Dr Rushton will be delivering on the Postcolonial Texts module.

Filling machines allow your company to fill products at a faster rate of speed. They also reduce messes, product loss and contamination. Our rotary filling machine may be exactly what you need when you need to expand production, order fulfillment and worker productivity. Our machines take up less space than linear machines, which may allow you to have more of them in the same amount of space.
Another advantage of our rotary machines for filling is that their controls are on the top. This means that you can make adjustments to the specifications without having to get in the splash zone. All of our products are manufactured from stainless steel, which ensures a long lifespan and durability. Stainless steel is also easy to keep clean. It resists rust and corrosion, which is critical if the liquids dispensed by the machine are acidic or alkaline.
When you choose our machines for rotary filling, you can pick from six available frame sizes. This allows you to get the right fit and capacity for your facility. With conveyors of 12 feet or more, you can get more products filled in less time. Our machines are safe to operate and maintain. All controls are computerized, and filling is automatic once you set the specifications. The color touchscreens make it easy to select the speed, fill level and other properties. With a variable speed drive, you can use this machine for different sizes and styles of containers.
Our rotary filling machine could make your business more efficient and productive. To learn more about our products and how they work, give us at Filling Equipment Co., Inc. a call today.

Review: The Accidental Bride by Denise Hunter
It's been awhile since I've read some Christian fiction...probably since the Inspys selection process...and truth be told I find myself reading less and less because so much of it is romance and I've grown quite tired of the genre. but every once in awhile, I like to pick one up for the comfort read and to have an idea of what's going on in the genre. Denise Hunter has written some books I've enjoyed before, so I dug into The Accidental Bride this weekend.
Shay Brandenberger is a single mom raising her daughter on a ranch in Moose Creek and struggling to pay the bills. Her husband left and then passed away and she's several months behind on the mortgage. When a friend asks her to help out in their Founder's Day celebration, she agrees to do so. The role she has to play is going through with a marriage ceremony. But it turns out the groom in the ceremony is her ex-boyfriend--who left her at the courthouse years ago on the day they planned to marry. But..someone is meddling and they use the old marriage license Shay and Travis signed years ago to make their wedding legal and real.
Sounds crazy right? And Travis does still love Shay. In fact, he came back to town to take care of his parent's ranch and in hopes of making up with her. When he realizes how much trouble she's in financially, and the fact that they are now legally married, he strikes a deal with her--he'll help her get her finances straight in exchange for a five month trial of marriage. He doesn't expect or want sex or anything, though.
Shay agrees but very reluctantly. She hates accepting charity and she lives in constant fear and worry about what others are saying about her. She grew up less privileged and doesn't really want to accept what she perceives as charity, but at the same time she really doesn't have a choice. So she agrees to the temporary arrangement...but as you can imagine Shay still has feelings for Travis so things get complicated quickly.
As a quick escapist read this works. Hunter has a nice breezy style and Moose Creek seems like a fun place. I like the way she writes romance in that I get that melty feeling in my stomach in all the right places. I believed that Travis and Shay loved each other and I could understand Shay's hurt over being left and her reluctance to trust Travis again. So if I was just...wanting to turn my brain off and enjoy a quick read, a romance without sex (and very little spiritual content as well) than The Accidental Bride worked.
But unfortunately I couldn't turn my brain off and as I was reading I started to wonder if The Accidental Bride was a good example of why I no longer enjoy romance as much. Let me explain why. This will contain somewhat detailed plot discussion so read no further if you have an aversion to spoilers!
After Travis left Shay she returned home and got married quickly. Eventually this guy left her and her daughter. But Hunter makes it clear throughout the book that Shay never loved him like she loved Travis in fact it's questionable if she even loved him at all. Her marriage and even her daughter felt like pure plot devices. Her daughter easily accepted Travis and even started calling him Dad right away which felt inauthentic to me based on their situation. At one point there's an indication that Shay's husband had called her frigid and while it's used in the book to show why Shay is so insecure with men, it's also just sad that she obviously didn't love her husband. And she bore no awareness that he probably realized that and that's why he left. I'm not excusing him leaving it was just frustrating that the book was like POOR SHAY and that the her first marriage had to be invalidated and regarded as ultimately meaningless in order not to be a threat to the romance of Travis and Shay. And see...I just don't need that. I don't need to believe there's just one person you ever really love in life. I would have preferred a story where Shay rediscovered her old love but had still had a happy marriage. In fact, I think that the reason she hadn't merely lost her husband to death but he left her first was to build a stronger case for Travis/Shay forever. So that really bugged me. And also of course, the plot was pretty convoluted. I think the premise is cute but there are a couple of points where Shay sees evidence that Travis dated before he returned home and maybe has an ongoing relationship. Instead of confronting him and talking about it though, she just gets mad and hurt. And eventually that drives him away. And yet that's never really addressed, that she should have just asked him, that she was playing an active role in damaging their relationship in the present.
The Sex Stuff
Okay so this interests me. Because Shay and Travis have a legal marriage they eventually start sleeping together. And the book says it's okay because they are married. This was FASCINATING to me, because it means that basically the book endorsed the view that a legal/government marriage is what matters in so far as when you can have sex. (sex is a big issue for evangelical Christianity lol) And I don't know, I guess I think the heart commitment is more important. They started having sex before they'd committed to each other but it wasn't a "sin" because they had a legal marriage. I mean..really? I just feel like the legal documents are not the most important part.
So....yeah. I just don't know. The faith stuff felt fairly superficial and all of the quibbles above..I just don't know if romance or Christian romance is working for me anymore or if it's just this particular book.

The bell above the diner's door jingled and—despite her most valiant effort—Shay Brandenberger's eyes darted toward the entry. An unfamiliar couple entered—tourists. She could tell by their khaki Eddie Bauer vests and spanking-new hiking boots. Look out, Yellowstone.
When her heart rate returned to normal, she checked her watch and took a sip of coffee. Five minutes till she met Miss Lucy at the Doll House, forty till she met John Oakley at the bank. What if he said no? What would they do then?
"Mom . . . Earth to Mom . . ." Olivia waved her hand too close to Shay's face, her brown eyes widening.
"Sorry, hon." The one bright moment of her Saturday was breakfast with her daughter, and she couldn't enjoy it for the dread. "What were you saying?"
Olivia set her fork on her pancake-sticky plate and heaved a sigh worthy of her twelve-year-old self. "Never mind." She bounced across the vinyl bench, her thick brown ponytail swinging. "I'm going to meet Maddy."
"Right back here at noon," Shay called, but Olivia was out the door with the flick of her hand.
The diner buzzed with idle chatter. Silverware clattered and scraped, and the savory smell of bacon and fried eggs unsettled her stomach. She took a sip of the strong brew from the fat rim of her mug.
The bell jingled again. I will not look. I will not look. I will not—
The server appeared at her booth, a new girl, and gathered Olivia's dishes. "On the house today."
Shay set down her mug, bristling. "Why?"
The woman shrugged. "Boss's orders," she said, then made off with the dirty dishes.
From the rectangular kitchen window, Mabel Franklin gave Shay a pointed look.
So Shay had helped the couple with their foal the week before. It was the neighborly thing to do.
Fine. She gave a reluctant smile and a wave. She pulled her wallet from her purse, counted out the tip, and dragged herself from the booth, remembering her daughter's bouncy exit. Lately her thirty-two years pressed down on her body like a two-ton boulder.
She opened the diner's door and peeked both ways before exiting the Tin Roof and turning toward the Doll House. She was only checking sidewalk traffic, not hiding. Nope, she wasn't hiding from anyone. The boardwalks were busy on Saturdays. That was why she hadn't come to town for two weeks. Why their pantry was emptier than a water trough at high noon.
She hurried three shops down and slipped into the cool, welcoming air of Miss Lucy's shop.
" 'Morning, Miss Lucy."
" 'Morning, dear." The elderly woman, in the middle of helping a customer, called over her rounded shoulder, "It's in the back." Miss Lucy's brown eyes were big as buckeyes behind her thick glasses, and her white curls glowed under the spotlights.
"Okeydoke." Shay forced her feet toward the storeroom.
A musty smell assaulted her as she entered the back room and flipped on the overhead fluorescents. She scanned the boxes of doll parts and skeins of yarn until she found what she was looking for. She approached the box, lifted the lid, and parted the tissue.
The wedding gown had been carefully folded and tucked away. Shay ran her fingers over the delicate lace and pearls. Must've been crisp white in its day, but time had cast a long shadow over it. Time had a way of doing that.
Her fingers lingered on the thin fabric. She remembered another time, another dress. A simple white one that hung on her young shoulders, just skimmed the cement of the courthouse steps. The ache that squeezed her heart had faded with time, but it was there all the same. Would it ever go away?
Shaking her head, Shay turned back to the task at hand. The gown seemed too pretty, too fragile to disturb.
Oh well. She'd promised.
She pulled it out and draped it over the box, then shimmied from her jeans. When she was down to the bare necessities, she stepped carefully into the gown. She eased it over her narrow hips and slid her arms into the long sleeves. The neckline was modest, the gathered skirt fuller than anything she ever wore. Here in the air-conditioning it was fine, but she would swelter next Saturday.
Leaving the button-up back gaping, she hitched the skirt to the top of her cowboy boots and entered the store.
Miss Lucy was ushering the customer out the door. When she turned, she stopped, her old-lady shoes squeaking on the linoleum. "Land sakes."
Shay took two steps forward and dropped the skirt. It fell to the floor with a whoosh.
"Fits like a glove," Miss Lucy said. "And with some low heels it'll be the perfect length."
Shay didn't even own heels. "My boots'll have to do. Button the back?"
Miss Lucy waddled forward, turned Shay toward a small wall mirror flecked with time, and began working the tiny pearl buttons.
Shay's breath caught at her image. She forced its release, then frowned. Wedding gowns were bad luck. She'd sworn she'd never wear another. If someone had told her yesterday she'd be wearing this thing today, she'd have said they were one straw short of a bale.
Miss Lucy moved up to the buttons between her shoulders, and Shay lifted her hair. The dress did fit, clinging to her torso like it was made for her, wouldn't you know. Even the color complemented her olive skin.
Still, there was that whole bad luck thing.
And what would everyone think of Shay Brandenberger wearing this valuable piece of Moose Creek heritage? A white wedding gown, no less. If she didn't have the approval of her closest friends and neighbors, what did she have? Not much, to her thinking.
She wanted to cut and run. Wanted to shimmy right out of the dress, tuck it into that box in the storeroom, slip back into her Levi's and plaid button-up, and go back to her ranch where she could hole up for the next six months.
She checked the time and wished Miss Lucy had nimbler fingers. Of all days to do this, a Saturday, when everyone with two legs was in town. And she still had that infernal meeting with John Oakley.
Please, God, I can't lose our home . . .
"I'm obliged to you, dear. I completely forgot Jessie was going out of town."
"Baloney. You'd rather be knee-deep in cow dung." The woman's marionette lines at the sides of her mouth deepened.
"It's one hour of my life." A pittance, after all Miss Lucy had done for her.
Miss Lucy finished buttoning, and Shay dropped her hair and smoothed the delicate lace at the cuffs.
"Well, bless you for being willing. God is smiling down on you today for your kindness."
Shay doubted God really cared one way or another. It was her neighbors she worried about.
"Beautiful, just beautiful. You'll be the talk of the town on Founders Day."
"No doubt." Everyone in Moose Creek would be thinking about the last time she'd worn a wedding gown. And the time before that.
Especially the time before that.
Third time's a charm, Shay thought, the corner of her lip turning up.
"Stop fretting," Miss Lucy said, squeezing her shoulders. "You look quite fetching, like the gown was made for you. I won't have to make a single alteration. Why, it fits you better than it ever did Jessie—don't you tell her I said so."
Shay tilted her head. Maybe Miss Lucy was right. The dress did make the most of her figure. And she had as much right to wear it as anyone. Maybe more—she was born and raised here, after all. It was just a silly old reenactment anyway. No one cared who the bride and groom were.
The bell jingled as the door opened behind her. She glanced in the mirror, over her shoulder, where a hulking silhouette filled the shop's doorway. There was something familiar in the set of the man's broad shoulders, in the slow way he reached up and removed his hat.
The sight of him constricted her rib cage, squeezed the air from her lungs as if she were wearing a corset. But she wasn't wearing a corset. She was wearing a wedding gown. Just as she had been the last time she'd set eyes on Travis McCoy.

Q: Is it possible to cancel a request for a KmlLayer, and load a different layer, before it is actually visible Having asked for a google.maps.KmlLayer, and whilst waiting for it to load, is it possible to cancel the request?
Calling layer.setMap(null); seems to causes an error if the layer is not yet visible.
I would like to be able to cancel the request for the layer, then ask for a different layer.
Thanks,
I am using version 3 of the google maps api.

A: Unfortunately no, it is not possible, at least via the API. Because it is all asynchronous, once the request is made there is no control over the request/response until the response (the KmlLayer) comes back.

Gal was not aware of screen-testing the role of Diana Prince/Wonder Woman for the production of "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" prior to December 4, 2013. She reportedly thought it was Selina Kyle/Catwoman. Selina Kyle/Catwoman was previously performed by Michelle Pfeiffer in "Batman Returns" and Anne Hathaway in "The Dark Knight Rises". See more »
The story behind the writing and editing of Wonder Woman can be pieced together from Bender's papers, at Brooklyn College; Frank's papers, at the University of Minnesota; and Marston's editorial correspondence, along with a set of original scripts, housed at the Dibner Library at the Smithsonian Institution Libraries. In his original scripts, Marston described scenes of bondage in careful, intimate detail with utmost precision. For a story about Mars, the God of War, Marston gave Peter elaborate instructions for the panel in which Wonder Woman is taken prisoner:
Writer Gerry Conway brought Steve Trevor back to life again in issue #271 (September 1980).[16] Following Diana's renunciation of her role as Wonder Woman, a version of Steve Trevor from an undisclosed portion of the Multiverse accidentally made the transition to Earth-One. With Diana's memory erased by the Mists of Nepenthe, the new Steve again crash-landed and arrived at Paradise Island. After reclaiming the title of Wonder Woman, Diana returned to Military Intelligence, working with Trevor and re-joined by supporting characters Etta Candy and General Darnell.[9]
Steve Trevor died at the end of Wonder Woman after sacrificing himself to ensure that a plane full of deadly gas couldn't harm anyone on the ground. Is this Steve Trevor the same Steve Trevor that we saw in Wonder Woman who was transported to 1984 because of something like time travel, a descendant of Steve Trevor's who is also named Steve Trevor (and looks exactly like Pine), a clone, or something else entirely? (It's a comic book movie, so anything is possible.)
During the Silver Age, under writer Robert Kanigher, Wonder Woman's origin was revamped,[33] along with other characters'. The new origin story increased the character's Hellenic and mythological roots: receiving the blessing of each deity in her crib, Diana is destined to become as "beautiful as Aphrodite, wise as Athena, strong as Hercules, and swift as Hermes."[34]
The costs for television advertisements for Wonder Woman are higher in comparison to that of previous DCEU film Suicide Squad. Warner Bros. has spent over $3 million on advertisements for Wonder Woman, whereas they spent $2.6 million on advertisements for Suicide Squad.[157] Ticket selling site Fandango reported that Wonder Woman rounded the final leg of its marketing campaign as the most anticipated blockbuster of summer 2017, according to a poll conducted by 10,000 voters, the biggest survey in company history.[158] Separately, Fandango also found that 92% of people surveyed said that they are looking forward to seeing a film that features a standalone woman superhero, and 87% wished Hollywood would make more women-led superhero films.[159] In May 2017, NASCAR driver Danica Patrick drove her No. 10 car with a Wonder Woman paint scheme at the Go Bowling 400 in Kansas and at the Monster Energy Open in Charlotte.[160]
By the time that Robert Kanigher took over the character, a change away from traditional comics as a whole was accomplished. He eventually veered completely away from superheroism and essentially only told stories involving the Wonder Family, which consisted of Wonder Woman, her teenage version Wonder Girl, her baby version Wonder Tot and her mother. This eventually proved not very popular and Kanigher was forced to rethink the character and cast her in a more traditional superhero context (he actually explained this decision in comics to the reader with his various creations vying to remain in continuity against his wishes). It was at this time for instance that Wonder Woman saw the return of some characters that had been missing for some time such as the Cheetah or Doctor Psycho. It was also at this time that she became a founding member of the original Justice League of America.
When she has matured into an adult, Menalippe, the Oracle of the Amazons sees a vision in which the Gods and humanity is in danger from Ares. Soon they are approached by the Gods and tasked with organizing a tournament in order to chose a champion, who will save them from impending Doom. Diana competes against her mother's wish and win. Athena then sends her a weapon, the Lasso of Truth forged by Hephaestus from the girdle of Gaea.
Wonder Woman's outfit has varied over time, although almost all of her outfit incarnations have retained some form of chestplate, subligaculum, tiara, bracelets, and her signature five-pointed star symbols. When Wonder Woman was first introduced, she wore a heavily patriotic skirt and red top which incorporated an American eagle and elements of the United States flag, reflecting the comic's origins during World War II. Later artists introduced what would become Wonder Woman's classic ensemble, adding an armored plate to her top whose design recalls a letter W and revealing blue short shorts, whose precise length varied from artist to artist. Other artists have experimented with different looks for Wonder Woman over the years, including an all-white mod jumpsuit, a biker outfit, a variation of her mainstream depiction featuring leather pants and a jacket, and a number of armoured battlesuits. Contemporary artists have attempted to emphasise Wonder Woman's traditional outfit as a red armored top with a blue gladiator skirt.
A day before Whedon's departure from Wonder Woman, Warner Bros. and Silver Pictures purchased a spec script for the film written by Matthew Jennison and Brent Strickland. Set during World War II, the script impressed executives at Silver Pictures.[77] However, Silver stated that he had purchased the script because he did not want the rights reverting; while stating the script had good ideas, Silver did not want the film to be a period piece.[81] By April 2008, Silver hired Jennison and Strickland to write a new script set in contemporary times that would not depict Wonder Woman's origin, but explore Paradise Island's history.[82]

In the Golden Age, Wonder Woman adhered to an Amazon code of helping any in need, even misogynistic people, and never accepting a reward for saving someone;[74] while conversely, the modern version of the character has been shown to perform lethal and fatal actions when left with no other alternative, exemplified in the killing of Maxwell Lord in order to save Superman's life.[63][64]
The screenplay will be co-written by three people: Jenkins, Johns, and The Expendables writer Dave Callaham. Callaham's involvement was revealed on Sept. 13, disappointing fans who hoped for another woman on the film's core creative team. That being said, it seems that Callaham was personally recruited by Jenkins herself since they already worked together on a previous project.
During the 25 bi-monthly issues of the "new" Wonder Woman, the writing team changed four times. Consequently, the stories display abrupt shifts in setting, theme, and tone. The revised series attracted writers not normally associated with comic books, most notably science fiction author Samuel R. Delany, who wrote Wonder Woman #202–203 (October and December 1972).[9]
Lasso of Truth: The Lasso, also referred to as the Golden Perfect, is a sacred relic of the Amazons and was given to them by the Gods of Olympus. It was bestowed to Wonder Woman when she embarked to Man's World. The Lasso's most known power is to force anyone ensnared by it to speak only the truth. It also possesses a number of other magical abilities. The Lasso is capable of tethering the hearts and minds of the individuals holding it, creating a telepathic link between them, as well as allowing for language translation.[113] It can also be used to bind and ensnare the souls of beings, including even gods, within it.[8][114] Diana can use the Perfect to locate individuals who share an emotional connection to her. It can also be used to force a biophysical reset of those who have been corrupted by some external influence, such as poisons and toxins or mind control, who are bound by it.[5][85] Diana is highly proficient at using the Lasso of Truth as both a tool and a weapon, and is capable of easily binding people and objects using it.
Upon becoming a super-heroine, Wonder Woman became a founding member of the Justice League. Her ambassadorial duties required her to visit Washington D.C., with army officer Steve Trevor as her liaison. When Parademons stormed Metropolis, Wonder Woman resolved to defend the city, meeting the heroes Superman, Batman, Flash, Green Lantern and Aquaman.[12] They also met the young hero Cyborg, who attempted to warn them against the evil alien conqueror Darkseid. Unfortunately, Cyborg's warnings were meaningless, as Darkseid had already arrived.[13] Although Darkseid had initially beat them without effort, Green Lantern rallied them in order to confront Darkseid as a team.[14] Wonder Woman proved crucial in Darkseid's defeat, stabbing him in one of his eyes to prevent him from using his Omega Beams. This gave Superman and Cyborg enough time to throw Darkseid back into his home-world.[15]
With the appearance of the Bana-Mighdallian Amazons, the Olympians faced a new prospect. Though devout Amazons, these newest citizens of Themyscira do not worship the Greek gods. Renouncing them millennia ago, the tribe instead worship a combination of Egyptian and middle eastern deities. The central gods worshipped by the desert Amazons are: Isis (wisdom and magic), Mammitu (judgement bringer), Bast (nature and feminine), and Neith (mother figure and protection). These gods followed the Bana-Mighdallian Amazons to Themyscira where they continued to be worshipped. Facing the situation with hands tied, both pantheons agreed to integrate themselves with each other for the benefit of their people. Though these new gods do not reside on Olympus, they are treated with diplomacy when called to aid the Amazons in a united godly role. Despite the gods mentioned being part of the inner-circle of deities in the Bana's belief system, less significant gods have been shown to be part of their godly pantheon as well such as Sekhmet (war god), Thoth (their only known male god) and possibly Ishtar (love goddess). The gods of Bana-Mighdall proved their loyalty to the Olympians by aiding the Greek gods in battle when the war gods Sekhmet and Ares previously devised a coup on Olympus.
The storyline "The Circle" was focused on the revelation of a failed assassination attempt on Diana when she was a baby, by four rogue Amazons.[121] These Amazons – Myrto, Charis, Philomela and Alkyone, collectively referred to as The Circle – were Hippolyta's personal guards and were extremely loyal and devoted to her.[122] However, when Hippolyta decided to raise a daughter, The Circle was horrified and considered the baby ill-fate, one who would ruin their entire race.[123] Thus, after Diana was sculpted out of clay and brought to life, The Circle decided to assassinate the baby. Their attempt was foiled however, and the four Amazons were imprisoned.[124] After years, the Circle escaped their prisons with the help of Captain Nazi, and decided to accomplish their previously failed mission and kill Diana. Diana defeated Myrto, Charis, Philomela and then approached Alkyone, who runs off and succumbs to her death by falling into the ocean. The other three Amazons return to their prisons.[124][125]
Chris Pine was cast as Steve Trevor,[21][114] a character he described as a "rogue-ish, cynical realist who's seen the awful brutish nature of modern civilization" and added that he is a "worldly guy, a charming guy".[115] He signed a multi-picture deal.[21] Lucy Davis' performance as Etta Candy is the first live-action cinematic portrayal of the character.[116] As well, Elena Anaya's performance as Doctor Poison is the cinematic debut of that character. Nicole Kidman was in negotiations for the role of Queen Hippolyta, but was forced to drop out due to scheduling conflicts with Big Little Lies.[117][118]

Canada's sports minister defends her integrity commissioner's complaint intake
Canada's sports minister defended the low intake of complaints by the new sports integrity commissioner and urged the country's sport bodies to sign onto the abuse-free sport program.
Pascale St-Onge appointed Sarah-Eve Pelletier as the country's first sport integrity commissioner amid a recent wave of former and current athletes pointing to toxic cultures in their sport and demanding change.
The office of the sports integrity commissioner (OSIC) began receiving complaints and reports June 22, 2020.
OSIC admitted 25 per cent in the first quarter and 33 per cent in the second quarter, citing jurisdictional reasons for the low percentage.
"I am proud to see that although the Office of the Sport Integrity Commissioner (OSIC) is in its first six months of creation, it is on the right track and has already started inquiries into certain sports," St-Onge said Thursday in a statement.
OSIC's authority is limited to sports whose governing bodies have completed the process of becoming signatories to its abuse-free sport program, the minister said.
Swimming Canada was the 24th sports federation to agree to terms and become an OSIC signatory Thursday.
Pelletier told The Canadian Press in an interview earlier this week that while a national sport organization may be a signatory, the sport's provincial or territorial association or a club might not be.
"The data in OSIC's quarterly report shows that because the commissioner can only review complaints made by athletes who are members of OSIC, athletes from other levels (provincial or local) are left behind," St-Onge explained.
"That's why it is crucial that provinces and territories must follow suit and acquire an independent process to file complaints whether by signing with OSIC or by creating their own.
"Changing the culture of sport is a collective responsibility, which is why we continue to work with the other jurisdictions, like provinces and territories, to move towards a system that is focused on caring and respect for all athletes. No one should be left behind."
OSIC deals in matters under a Universal Code of Conduct to Prevent and Address Maltreatment in Sport, which covers grooming, neglect, physical, sexual and psychological abuse, as well as retaliation, failure to report maltreatment, false allegations and misuse of power.
Illegal sports betting, conflict of interest, team selection or athlete assistance program (carding) appeals are not under OSIC's authority.
"In the case when OSIC cannot offer its services to an athlete because of jurisdictional issues, it does offer services to redirect the complaint to the right authorities," St-Onge said.
"That's why we need to have mechanisms in all jurisdictions, that is the collective next step. Our goal is that no athlete falls through the cracks."
National sport federations must sign on to OSIC or risk losing federal funding.
"All federally funded organizations must sign up with OSIC as quickly as possible so that all athletes, no matter what organization they belong to, can file complaints with the commissioner," the minister said.

Ragan.com, the popular site for communicators of a variety of professional persuasions, has picked up the latest version of my piece on "Six Forms" of employee engagement.
In challenging the notion that employee engagement is a single, all-encompassing, one-size-fits-all measure of employee positivity, proactivity, anticipated longevity and other associated virtues, the Six Forms of Engagement offer the opportunity to tap into the different ways people engage with their organizations and work to get better outcomes.
The article can be found here, at the Ragan.com site in the USA.
Next postCan #internalcomms become a "weapon of mass disruption"?
I really enjoyed reading this article; especially the classifications of employees that we would typically dub as disengaged. My takeaway is that you really need a balance of all types of engagement levels and that employees will find themselves at a different end of the engagement spectrum at different times; similarly with the change management curve.
Exactly, Tatiana. And once you know where someone is coming from engagement-wise, it becomes a lot easier to move the needle with that individual than it is to generate a company-wide cheerleading effort that appeals equally to everyone.


Call Center Manager helps any size contact center or group maintain service level goals by monitoring and optimizing call traffic for ACD (automatic call distribution) groups.
For any company, unanswered calls or busy signals can have a negative impact on sales and customer service. ACD Manager helps companies reduce hold time and busy signals and improve the level of service provided to customers. When agents are busy or hold times exceed the standard set by your company, ACD Manager intelligently looks ahead to other call groups and can automatically forward calls to an available agent instead of forcing the caller to voicemail or wait on hold.
ACD Manager improves contact center operations and customer service by monitoring call volume and taking action when your company's service level standards are not being met.
Besides call volume, ACD Manager also monitors the status of agents and will take action if an agent misses a call or if too few agents are logged into a group. Once one of the service level limits is exceeded, ACD Manager will take an action on the event such as signaling an overhead pager, sending an instant text message, or providing the caller with a "Callback" option. ACD Manager provides an efficient way to monitor performance levels and take action to help maintain those goals.

Avalon Theater: The Band Yarn
December 23, 2019 by Steve Parks
If the band Yarn, playing the Avalon Theater on Sunday, Dec. 29, has not yet achieved household name recognition, they have developed a loyal and growing following. They're called "Yarmy," as in Yarn's army, bringing to mind other bands you may have heard of. Grateful Dead devotees famously were known as Deadheads. Never mind their favorite band never had a Billboard Top 10 single until "Touch of Gray" late in the Dead's collective career. Similarly, Phish followers call themselves Phans. They traveled hither and yon to catch concerts by a band that's never had a Top 10 single.
Yarn band members know all about life on the road and spinning yarns about their peripatetic touring to entertain loyal fans and win new ones. "That's what we do," says Yarn singer/songwriter Blake Christiana. "We tell stories, live and in the studio, truth, and fiction."
With that in mind, Yarn launched a series of singles back in January digitally released on the 13th of each month of 2019. The project, now compiled into a "Lucky 13" collection, includes each month's single plus an alternate version of one of the 12. "Our intention was to share what it's like to spend time traveling from city to city, with all the unlikely experiences encountered along the way," Christiana says.
You can expect Yarn to perform, at the very least, the December "Lucky 13" release, "Dreamtown," as well as, perhaps, the March single, "What For?" released just before the band's previous concert at the Avalon, upstairs in the cozy 60-seat-or-so Stoltz Listening Room. Yarn was so well-received that the group has graduated to the 400-seat main-stage theater.
The Yarn quartet self-describes its genre as "roots music from the shadows of skyscrapers." Others call it "back-porch melodies and narratives." The band plays an Americana blend of country, folk, and classic rock. Though some in the band hail from Raleigh, N.C., Yarn is based in the New York City borough of Brooklyn and has a regular Monday night gig at Kenny's Castaway in Greenwich Village. Yarn's current tour takes it up and down the East Coast and, beginning in March, to Colorado, Utah, and Montana.
"There's a different vibe onstage from what comes through in our recordings," Christiana says of Yarn's albums, beginning with the 2007 eponymous debut release. "There's a difference in every show as well; you never know what you're going to get."
Of the "Lucky 13" album, Yarn guitarist and vocalist Rod Hohl says, "People always ask us to tell them road stories. While this batch of songs isn't exactly literal road stories, most deal with some degree of adventure and adversity as inspired by our tours and treks around the country. Yet like any good story, there's an imaginative element to it as well. That's why we've decided to release alternate versions of some tracks to provide a glance at the oddities that exist just beyond sight."
Yarn's previous album, "This Is the Year," was an optimistic look forward while acknowledging challenges in becoming a more widely recognized band. "We were dealing with real-life issues," Christiana says candidly. "Broken relationships, a sense of having to regroup and put some things—and people—behind us. [Yarn's quartet was once a sextet. Remaining Yarns include bassist Rick Bugel and drummer Robert Bonhomme.] What I was writing about lyrically . . . became kind of a catharsis. . . . Ultimately those setbacks and difficulties led to new opportunities and allowed a little light to shine through."
Along their winding road, Yarn has earned four Grammy nominations and performed up to 170 concerts a year on the road, sharing the stage or opening for Leon Russell, Dwight Yoakam, Charlie Daniels, Allison Krauss, Marty Stuart, and other headliners. They've also shared songwriting credits with John Oates of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame duo Hall & Oates.
Their hope now is that "Lucky 13" will become a prophetic title in their quest for wider fame and fortune. Meanwhile, you can catch them live in Easton. Opening for Yarn is Eastern Shore singer-songwriter Nate Clendenen.

The Spark never caught fire, and now, it's been crushed out of existence.
That may be a little overly dramatic, but it's essentially what happened to Microsoft's WebsiteSpark program. As Mary Jo Foley reported earlier, Redmond notified developers that the Spark is being quenched, as of today.
"The WebsiteSpark program will no longer be accepting new membership applications," is how the company put it on the Spark site. The good news is that membership benefits, like the Expression design tool and Visual Studio Professional, aren't being immediately phased out. They'll be available for another year, through March 2014.
WebsiteSpark was designed to make it easier to design and build Web sites. It seems like it never really caught on with the development crowd, leading to its demise.
Trying to soften the blow, Microsoft says on the site that it "has created new offers at no cost to help Web Pros like you continue to create rich interactive web applications." Not everyone is on board with that sentiment, as various Twitter comments demonstrate.
AJ Smith, @audibledesigns, tweets that he's "Moving a few domains over @WindowsAzure when I find out my #WebsiteSpark membership is getting axed. 2 small for @bizspark".
Iain Magee, @iainmagee, doesn't like the alternatives. "Real shame @WebsiteSpark program getting killed off especially as@bizspark entry requirements are so inflexible."
John Obeto II, @johnobeto, said that it's not the positive step Microsoft has portrayed it as: "email is worded as if changes are for our benefit when they are clearly not," he tweeted.
