Wonderful Dancers Series
· Wonderful Dancers
Yoyo School of Dancing has educated many outstanding dancers since the school established. Yoyo dance studio has been always strengthening the quality of teaching to ensure that students receive formal and systematic dance training. Yoyo School of Dancing is grandly launching the "Wonderful Dancer Series". There are outstanding dancers who were invited by Yoyo dance studio to tell everyone about their dance learning experience, dance knowledge, and some interesting stories that happened during their dance training. In their dance worlds, I hope you can feel the valuable qualities they possess such as positive efforts, persistent love, the pursuit of perfection, the respect for and trust in their dance instructors. The spread of the "Wonderful Dancer Series" will help you to set a goal in dance and give you a better understanding of these dancers with their beautiful dance stories. I hope you dance with the rhythm, dance with the body, and dance with the heart.
"Wonderful Dancer Series" of this article is Jennifer Huang
I am Jennifer. My dance journey consists of progress and failure. My self-esteem is boosted from dance. First, I did ballet for two years. I started when I was six years old. Later, I quit ballet and discovered Chinese dance. I have been doing Chinese dance for approximately six years with Yoyo School of Dancing. The beginning was difficult as I was not very flexible and/or strong yet, so I practiced diligently. Gradually, I improved. Improving also meant learning new techniques that made my body ache and I soon wanted to quit. My mom told me I should wait it out first before making a final decision. I am glad she did. Eventually, dance became a passion and a source of enjoyment. Improvement was showing again. My teachers, Teacher Ella(Tongtong) and Teacher Yoyo(Jiaying) are the two Chinese dance teachers I am grateful towards because of their immense support, kindness, and guidance. Something I am proud of during my dance journey is being able to perform an aerial. During the summer I achieved the side aerial. Although I could barely land at first, just by not touching the floor made me ecstatic. My success lasted for a week. The week after, my ankles felt numb and I had a mental block. I took a break, believed in myself, and then practiced multiple times. Months later, my aerial was stage-ready. I learned that you sometimes just need to go for it and trust yourself even in fear. I am still a part-time dancer at Yoyo School of Dancing and I do not think I will ever become full-time, but dance will always be a part of me. I hope I will be dancing even when I am a middle-aged woman.
Ella(Tongtong): I've been teaching Jennifer for 5 years. She hasn't relaxed and given up herself, she always focused and does her best in each class during the past five years. I am so lucky that I have been teaching her for a while. I hope Jennifer could achieve more awards in the dance competitions and enjoy dance in her life forever.

African children's choir to perform in Portage
Uganda-based Watoto Children's Choir, which recently released a new album titled We Will Go, will be stopping by Portage la Prairie next month as part of a six-month tour.
The performers present the story of abandoned African children and vulnerable women, who've been empowered to rise above their circumstances. We Will Go will be presented in Portage la Prairie on March 10 at Highway Pentecostal Church, 1680 Saskatchewan Ave W, at 6 p.m.
Jackie, an 11-year-old who will be travelling with the choir, was abandoned by her parents when she was only four years old. She was found by a Good Samaritan before Watoto became her permanent home and family.
When asked about travelling with the choir, she said, "I heard that Canada is very cold. I want to play in the snow. I dream of becoming a teacher when I grow up, so on tour, I will continue to help my friends with their homework. I also learned the Canadian anthem and I can't wait to sing it there."
The Watoto Children's Choirs has travelled extensively since 1994, sharing a message of hope for Africa's most vulnerable children and women. On almost every day of the year, the choir is performing somewhere in the world.
The production is vibrant and colourful, taking the audience on an emotional journey from utter despair to joyous celebration, as the children and women share their personal stories of triumph in story and song.
We Will Go can be found on iTunes. All proceeds made from the album go to Watoto in Uganda to provide vulnerable children and women with homes, education, medical care, and most of all the love of a family.

CINCINNATI (AP) Cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick put on a Bengals hat that he got from a young fan on his way off the field, enjoying the moment.
For the first time in 42 days, it was fun again in Cincinnati.
The Bengals put together their best all-around game of the season on Sunday, beating the Eagles 32-14 . The offense scored on its first six possessions - something Cincinnati hadn't done since 2009 - as Cincinnati sent Philadelphia to its most lopsided defeat of the season.
So what if it probably makes no difference in the long run? The Bengals (4-7-1) needed a win to soothe their souls.
Same old, same old for the Eagles (5-7) , who have dropped seven of nine after their 3-0 start. They couldn't get to Andy Dalton, and they couldn't get much out of an injury-depleted offense led by rookie quarterback Carson Wentz as Cincinnati pulled ahead 29-0.
The Bengals appear to have finally found their footing after losing receiver A.J. Green and running back Giovani Bernard to injuries. Dalton threw to nine receivers, spreading the ball around in a reconfigured offense. He finished 23 of 31 for 332 yards with two touchdowns, no interceptions and a season-high passer rating of 130.
DALTON EMERGES: Dalton's solid showing ended his streak of subpar games while he was under pressure. In the past four games, he threw four touchdowns and four interceptions. He also got sacked 10 times as the Bengals went 0-3-1.
NUGENT'S STRUGGLES CONTINUE: Mike Nugent missed another point-after-touchdown kick wide to the right, his fourth miss in a span of five PAT tries. Nugent made field goals from 32, 33, 26 and 38 yards, the last one deflecting off the left upright. After he missed the extra-point kick, he was booed when he came on the field again for another kick. The Bengals have been patient with him to this point, noting there's no other proven kicker available.
WENTZ'S GROWING PAINS: The second overall pick in the draft, Wentz became the first rookie in league history to throw at least one touchdown pass without an interception in each of his first three games. In the past five games, he has three touchdowns and eight interceptions.
NO SACKS AGAIN: The Eagles came into the game determined to get to Dalton, but he wasn't sacked. The Eagles got 20 sacks in the first six games, but have only six sacks in the past six games. This showing was especially frustrating because Dalton has been among the league leaders in getting sacked.
''We aren't getting to the quarterback the way we should,'' defensive tackle Fletcher Cox said.
LACK OF ENTHUSIASM: The Bengals sold only 55,456 tickets for the game, leaving more than 10,000 empty seats. It was by far their smallest crowd of the season.

MSI Radeon HD 6950 Twin Frozr III Review
by Rob Williams on June 29, 2011 in Graphics & Displays
On the lookout for a higher-end graphics card, but value both temperatures and acoustics? MSI, with its Radeon HD 6950 Twin Frozr III Power Edition (*phew*) may have just what you're looking for. In our tests, it often settled right beside more expensive offerings, and where acoustics and temperatures are concerned, it can't be beat.
Futuremark 3DMark 11
Although we generally shun automated gaming benchmarks, we do like to run at least one to see how our GPUs scale when used in a 'timedemo'-type scenario. Futuremark's 3DMark 11 is without question the best such test on the market, and it's a joy to use, and watch. The folks at Futuremark are experts in what they do, and they really know how to push that hardware of yours to its limit.
Similar to a real game, 3DMark 11 offers many configuration options, although many (including us) prefer to stick to the profiles which include Performance, and Extreme. Depending on which one you choose, the graphic options are tweaked accordingly, as well as the resolution. As you'd expect, the better the profile, the more intensive the test. The benchmark doesn't natively support 2560×1600, so to benchmark with that, we choose the Extreme profile and simply change the resolution.
With 3DMark, the HD 6970 manages to prove its dominance, though MSI's HD 6950 pulls quite a bit ahead of the reference – as we'd expect with the respective clock boosts.

This list is unmoderated, i.e., established members who abide by list rules send their messages directly to the list without prior review by our adminstrative staff. Upon being accepted for group membership, new subscribers are automatically placed on moderated status. All of their posts go to a pending file for advance review by list administrators. This continues until it becomes apparent that they have grasped the essentials regarding our posting protocol. The amount of time new members remain on moderated status will vary from person to person, based upon frequency of posting and the number of corrections needed for their posts to be sent on to the list. The shifting of moderated members to unmoderated status is at the discretion of the list owners.
When a post is reviewed and found to be in violation of posting guidelines, it is "rejected' by our administrative staff. That means, yahoogroups allows us to return the post to the author and add our comments about it. These comments explain the nature of the error and will appear at either the top of the post being returned or at the end of that post. You are free to discuss the problem further if the comments are unclear or simply make the corrections and resend your message.
We do not edit the posts of our members unless they request our assistance with composing a difficult post. On occasion, we may remove non-content material (e.g. yahoo ads) but this is rare since it is an imposition on the limited time of our adminstrative staff.
When a member repeats their errors over and over again, we may begin deleting their error messages without explanation since the nature of the error has already been addressed repeatedly.
Unmoderated members may be shifted to moderated status by virtue of their posting one or more unacceptable messages to the list. Such posts may be deleted from our website. The author is informed about their error. The severity of the error made can lead to that member being placed on moderated status for an indeterminate length of time at the owners' discretion.
Moderation is not intended to be a punishment! It is designed to allow all subscribers to participate in this forum without causing unintentional harm to other subscribers or interfering with the efficient administration of the list (remember, administration staff are sick too!). We are here to help.
Members who appear to be causing intentional harm to other members (e.g. flaming, posting of harmful practices, endorsement of illegal activities etc.) will be counseled as to the unacceptable nature of their actions. The owners reserve the right to place such members on permanent moderation, 'read-only' status (loss of posting prividges) or to ban them from list participation altogether. We do not wish to cut off any sufferer from contacts with others in the community and have only banned a few persons (less than five) in all the years of our existence. However, we cannot accommodate persons who detract from the well-being of our membership or demand so much of our time that it threatens our abilities to administer the list as a whole.
Our staff is comprised of two list owners and several list members who offer their time and energies to keep our list functioning efficiently. All administrative staff are volunteers receiving NO compensation of any type for their work. All administrative staff are also sufferers of this illness, some severely disabled by it. All understand the needs of our membership. All share the owners' commitment to our mission and are here to help members follow the guidelines imposed which allow us to accomplish that mission.
The owners are extremely grateful to all our volunteers, without whom we could not continue to provide this list to our 500+ subscribers. It is often a thankless task!. Their intelligence, compassion, generosity and perseverance in their own difficult lives is an incredible example to us. Thank you, Moderators!
Members who wish more information about moderation staff and practices should contact the owners. Members who wish to volunteer their services to help administer the list should do so as well.

A contingent contract is an agreement that states which actions under certain conditions will result in specific outcomes. Contingent contracts usually occur when negotiating parties fail to reach an agreement. The contract is characterized as "contingent" because the terms are not final and are based on certain events or conditions occurring.

A contingent contract can also be viewed as protection against a future change of plans. Contingent contracts can also lead to effective agreement when each party has different time preferences. For example, one party may desire immediate payoffs, while the other party may be interested in more long-term payoffs. Further, contingency contracts can foster an agreement in negotiations involving resolute differences of expectations about the future. Section 31, chapter III of the Indian contract act of 1872 defines a contingent contract.

Use
Contingent contracts can be used in many types of settings such as work, school, home, etc. In regards to work, a common example of contingent contracts comes in the form of job negotiations. It usually involves the opportunity to discuss salary, position, promotion, etc. However, contingent contracts can often include negotiations regarding flextime, job sharing, responsibilities, etc. Although contingent contracts concerning employment packages are more the exception than the norm, these types of negotiations can be very successful, allowing both parties to walk away feeling very satisfied with the newly agreed upon arrangement.

The following examples are everyday agreements that may occur in the workplace:
 The employee and employer agree on a 1% bonus increase at the end of the year if the employee receives all excellent marks on her performance review.
 The employee will be allowed to work two days a week from home after having worked at the company for one year, and if he submits all reports on time.
 The employee will receive full insurance coverage after having worked at the company for one full year, with less than five sick days.

The following example illustrates a behavioral contract between a teenager and parents to be used in the home:
 The teenager agrees to attend all classes, complete homework on time, return home before curfew, communicate with parents in a respectful manner, etc.
 If the teenager violates any of the agreed upon rules, he will choose to suffer the consequences which involve being grounded, no television or Internet, not using the family car, etc.
 The parents agree that if the teenager performs the agreed upon behaviors, then the teenager will be able to keep his privileges.

A contingent contract can be used to create enormous benefit to both parties. One advantage would be that it limits the loss that would occur if the contract failed. Another would be that it wouldn't make one party gain more at the expense of the other. This leads to an increase in trust between both parties, which would allow them to have more beneficial negotiations in the future.

Features
In order to be most effective, contingent contracts should possess some of the following characteristics:
 The objectives for each party involved must be aligned.
 The promise is based on an uncertain event: the action required of one party is only dependent upon the occurrence of some event in the future.
 The event must be minor to the contract: the performance of a promise is not the event; rather it is part of the contract.
 The event is independent of the promising party: the occurrence of an event is not controlled by the promising party's will or desire.
 The agreements should be formalized in writing with appropriate legal counsel.
 The parties must mutually decide how the terms of agreement will be measured.

A contingency contract can also be viewed as protection against a future change of plans

Value
Necessary is because the contract is built on expected differences from each party. Each party can leverage their differences through bets that lead to both sides winning. However, contingent contracts do not increase integrative value, rather they affect distribution value. Contingency contracts can create value by causing each negotiating party to stop arguing about their different beliefs. Both parties will be better off because they are each confident in their beliefs, ideas or projections.

Risks and challenges
Contingency contracts can be beneficial for both parties by producing value and motivating performance, however there are some situations in which contingency contracts are not the best solution. Here are some limitations:

 Contingency contracts could be threatening if the other party possesses or has access to more valuable information than you. For example, it would be unfair if one party wanted to bet on the basis of ratings because they have better access to that information.
 Contingency contracts can be risky if both parties are not in agreement of how to measure objectively. For example, define clearly what it means to promote an employee "if she does well" because each party may have different ideas or opinions about whether the contract has been met. This can lead to disagreement, which can cause great distress to the relationship between the parties.
 Contingency contracts can be dangerous if there are unequal incentives for each party. For example, there should be incentives for both parties to act in ways that are compatible with your agreement, thereby creating a win-win situation for both parties.

Paige Dolecki - Stampologist: Artfully Sent Page 1 - Sleeve Cards!
The Sleeve Card key on Artfully sent cuts two different types of cards - a sleeve card and an overlay card. The sleeve card folds up into a pocket that you can then slip a card or photo inside. The overlay card is sized at 5x7 and features a full front overlay pattern you can use as is or put contrasting paper behind.
For this card, I borrowed the telephone image from the page 2 pop up as I thought the hello sleeve would be perfect with this image. The green hello is the negative cut from the speech bubble, I simple backed that one with matching red CS and added the phone to the card. Super easy and a fun bright card. You can size these sleeves to 4x6 to hold a photo or down to 3.5" to hold a gift card.
For my overlay card I added rainbow strips of CS about 1" wide to the back of the overlay. I'm a sucker for rainbows so this card just plain makes me happy!


I travelled to Illinois from Southern California in late October 2015 for my 40th HS Reunion. I'd been going home(Illinois) pretty regularly for years, but hadn't been home for 2+ years so I was super excited. I shared a room with a friend from high school at all the hotel where the reunion was being held. I'd rented a car for the week. This was going to be a FUN TRIP. I'd visited my mom &brother earlier in the day and had returned to the hotel to change and go to the party. I went to the party, saw a lot of classmates from Kindergarten to high school. I was following my Doctor's instructions of not over-exerting myself. Due to previous chemo, I was having pain in my heart. High blood pressure too. I wanted to step away from the party to get some air and invited my cousin to go with me to my room. The next thing I knew, I was in the hospital and was told I'd had a stroke. My God. I ordinary would have just slipped away from the party alone. This time my cousin was with me and knew exactly what to do. I went to Illinois for 5 days in October 2015. And didn't return to my home in California until August 2016. I was in Illinois for TEN MONTHS being cared for by my brother and his wife. There's so much more to my story. While in therapy (occupational, physical, speech), I was found to have a third recurrence of Breast Cancer and needed 4 rounds of chemo. And I also had a defibrillator put in. I'm in California now Of course following the stroke, you're not allowed to drive until you have an evaluation. So I Uber everywhere. My car fell into disrepair while I was gone. I'm trying to put the pieces back together. I don't remember what happened. I will have to ask my cousin.

The following is a press release from National Grid.
Today, National Grid Chief Customer Officer Terry Sobolewski announced the completion of the first phase of the gas restoration process, shutting off approximately 6,500 gas meters in Newport. National Grid has now initiated the process of reintroducing gas into the affected system. This process is expected to take several hours as National Grid inspects, monitors, and verifies the system's safety.
Following the re-pressurization of the gas system, National Grid will transition into the third and final stage of the restoration process, turning on gas meters and re-lighting customer appliances. National Grid will contact impacted customers with an automated call when crews are ready to enter the field to begin the re-light process. National Grid asks customers to please log into their accounts online at www.nationalgridus.com, or call 1-800-870-1664 as soon as possible to ensure that the company has the most direct means of communications.
Why does National Grid need to re-light all gas appliances?
Many older gas appliances and most water heaters have a small, continuously burning gas flame—the pilot light—that ignites the main burner. Some newer models have electronic igniters. When National Grid turned off affected gas meters, pilot lights went out.
For safety reasons, only trained and qualified gas technicians should re-light pilot lights on all gas appliances.
Customers should never attempt to turn on their meter or re-light gas appliances.
What is the process for turning meters back on and re-lighting gas appliances?
The process to re-light gas appliances is methodical and will take some time (approximately 45 minutes per customer). National Grid gas technicians will need to physically enter all impacted properties. National Grid will never engage with a locksmith to enter unoccupied premises to turn meters on or re-light appliances.
An individual over the age of 18 must be present on the premise for the re-lighting process to commence.
If the customer is at their premises when technicians arrive, National Grid will either turn the meter on outside or enter the premises to turn on the meter and then re-light all gas appliances.
Unlike our process in Phase I, we will not enter the property without the customer on the premises.
For the first 72 hours of the re-light phase National Grid will not be accepting individual appointments for technicians. The Company encourages customers to make themselves available at their premises during daytime hours.
A specialized task force will be deployed focused on critical facilities to relight and support customer needs.

Girlfriend Social is a new networking site that is designed for women to socially meet new girl friends. Its objective is to bridge the gap between social media and real life, and cover a need that is mostly unattended in the current social scene.
That is, there are networking sites that let people meet just anybody – sites that let people date each other, sites for business purposes… but this one aims for a niche that is still unoccupied.
The actual way the site works is nothing that would merit an over-lengthy explanation – the social formula is replicated to the hilt here. Users can create an account, start connecting among themselves and eventually bring these online interactions offscreen.
The fact remains that it is easy for people to lose track of their friends, and as far as women are concerned events like becoming a mother, getting divorced or moving to a new city can make the process of finding like-minded women to connect with a difficult one. That is the reason this social site was started, and it caters for women in all stages of life. Single, married, divorced… it makes no difference. Women of all ages and backgrounds can interact on the site, and hopefully find a new source of joy in their lives.
"Girlfriend Social is website that connects women with new girl friends. Ladies that just like you, are looking to make new friends. Inside you can signup to attend fun, female-only girlfriend events in a safe and friendly environment.
It is a comprehensive resource as women of all ages will be able to create new bonds and strengthen existing ones easily through it.
Can members create groups on the site?


Zimbabwe is a paradox when it comes to music leaning to vulgarity.Society is quick preach impending fire and brimstone to the artists behind such songs but somehow the very same songs become viral hits and permanent members of many a playlist.Thus when New Rules released this anthem celebrating our womenfolk's ample behinds reactions online were very much mixed.Surprise,shock and chuckles were elicited on one hand and on the other approval for such "bravery" on the part of Clady and co was professed. Those who defended the joint pointed out that Jah made the whole nation dance with his dedication to a stripper just recently and Riky Fire did the same before him though the aforementioned tracks are really tame when compared to this particular tune.
As the title suggests the joint is mostly carefree and comical to a degree with a bouncy beat that makes it catchy. Its a mix of trapsoul and raps though its hard to differentiate between different artists and verses since every line has like 3/4s taken up by the M word.A few recognisable names feature here among them Clady Banks and Beav City.Jamal and Thaza handled production on this strictly Chitown track whose sound is noticeably influenced by OT Genasis's Cut It from the chorus to the beat.Though radio will understandably frown on the offering parties and clubs will definitely put it on their playlists and it shall be the theme song of many naughty escapades.

Ecclesiastes 2.1-11 – Isn't being happy what it's all about?
Home / Ecclesiastes – Why Does Life Seem So Meaningless Sometimes? / Ecclesiastes 2 / Ecclesiastes 2.1-11 – Isn't being happy what it's all about?
"Well, maybe you don't, but isn't being happy what it's all about?" That was a Greek philosophy called hedonism. It taught that pleasure was really the only thing that was worthwhile, and actually good. A guy by the name of Epicurus taught the same thing. Those Greeks did like to party! You've heard religious people talking about repentance; our guy wants to find out if just having fun is a better choice.
Step One: Find something fun and just do it. First reaction: Now that was GOOD. It was fun. It was good for my soul. I forgot about my problems. I felt good about myself. I feel positive and alive. Do we have a problem here? I didn't think so. This just has to be the best of all possible worlds.
But then the second night of fun. More good feelings. Third, fourth, and fifth nights, and you're starting to get tired. One week, two weeks—it just doesn't seem as much fun when you're doing it all the time. Soon not everybody's getting along. You start to realize they're full of attitudes, egotism, paranoia, rationalizations, distortions, arrogance, anger, frustration, pleading, self-deprecation, and fear. You realize that unless you have a bottomless source of money, this doesn't pay the bills, and it doesn't fill the stomach. You start thinking this is a bit lame, and you try to find some part of it that gives meaning, either a friendship, or a money-making venture, or something, because just having fun isn't, well, fun. While you are seeking meaning within the fun, you have proven to yourself that pleasure, by itself doesn't give meaning. That's what our writer is stating also. He states his conclusion at the beginning: there is no lasting value in pleasure for the sake of pleasure.
Pleasures are ultimately futile. They don't bring success or lasting esteem. They don't give health. They don't give meaning or satisfaction to life. And yet we allow ourselves to be consumed in the pursuit of happiness, not realizing that the more you hunt, the less you'll find.
"What does pleasure accomplish?" Our man tried the high life, a connoisseur of fine wines and elegance, along with the good time with friends. Does it work? Paul Westerberg, of the rock band The Replacements said, "If the camaraderie of drink is what it takes to be pals or to have a good time, then your good time is worthless." Pete Townshend, of The Who, said, "The spiritual search and booze [are] the same thing. I've learned that being a drunk actually is a spiritual search, only you're looking in the wrong place." Our writer of Ecclesiastes stands back from it all to see what the lifestyle implies, to see what turns out to be a worthwhile way to spend your life, brief as it is.
He pursued other projects to bring him pleasure: building businesses, building houses and public buildings, planting money-making ventures, gardens, parks, dams and reservoirs—great public works projects. He had slaves (employees) by the thousands. He worked to accumulate as much money as possible, amassing wealth that would be the envy of all the world. He invested heavily in the entertainment industry. He did whatever would make him happy, even indulging in wild sexual pleasures. But it didn't make him happy.
The writer of Ecclesiastes said, "I became greater by far than anyone…before me. I denied myself nothing my eyes desired; I refused my heart no pleasure. My heart took delight in all my work, and this was the reward for all my labor." The activity can give satisfaction, but the result just doesn't last. It fades and grows dull.
Our writer's conclusion: It was all ultimately meaningless, like chasing the wind. Nothing of value was gained. He is not claiming that work has no result, for it does accomplish many good things. But it produces a material result (money and power, buildings and businesses), not an inner solution that gives a sense of meaning beyond that material result.
It turns out that pleasure is not really all that it's cracked up to be, but is just a cover-up that does not resolve the unrest deep in the soul.


FormattedSDDLText is a new column data type used by the SDDLText field of the MsiLockPermissionsEx Table to secure a selected object.
Q: How does new MsiLockPermissionsEx table change the semantics or behavior of the older LockPermissions table?
A: Packages using the older LockPermissions table will continue to work as expected. However, we encourage you to author your packages targeted for Windows 7 and above to use the new MsiLockPermissionsEx table to take advantage of the power and flexibility provided by SDDL while customizing security settings for your resources.
Q: Can I author both LockPermissions and MsiLockPermissionsEx tables in my package?
A: No, in the interest of simplifying authoring and avoiding collisions, it is not allowed to have both LockPermissions and MsiLockPermissionsEx tables in the same package. If both tables are present, the installation will fail. ICE 104 verifies that only one of the two tables: MsiLockPermissionsEx or LockPermissions is present in the package.
Q: What happens if two conditions in different rows evaluate to true for the same LockObject/Table pair in MsiLockPermissionsEx table? Which SDDLText will be applied?
A: If a LockObject/Table pair has multiple conditional expressions that evaluate to true, the installation will fail. So, be careful while authoring your conditions: if you have more than one security setting in your package for an object – make sure the corresponding conditions are mutually exclusive.
Q: What happens if the SDDL specified in MsiLockPermissionsEx is incorrect, or if the user does not have permissions to apply the security settings described by the SDDL?
A: The installation fails if Windows Installer is unable to resolve the SDDL specified in the MsiLockPermissionsEx table into a valid security descriptor, or if the user doesn't have the permissions to apply those settings, unless the package is blessed by an administrator.
Q: When is the resolution of SDDLText into the binary security descriptor done?
A: Unlike the older LockPermissions table, the resolution of permissions into the binary security descriptor for MsiLockPermissionsEx is done during the execution phase, at the time when an object is actually being installed. This is important because it means you can even set security settings referencing a new user account that is being created as part of the installation as long as the account creation is scheduled before the object is installed.
Q: Now that I can set security attributes on a service installed by a package via the MsiLockPermissionsEx table, can I do so with the LockPermissions table as well?
A: No, if you wish to set security attributes on a service, you will have to use the MsiLockPermissionsEx table. The behavior and semantics of the LockPermissions table will not change.
Q: My product has already been released. Can I use MsiLockPermissionsEx table to secure objects that are already installed? Can I use this feature to secure objects via a patch?
A: Similar to the LockPermissions table, you can use a patch to secure objects that are being installed on the machine with MsiLockPermissionsEx table, including objects that replace existing ones on the machine as part of the installation. If an object is not installed as part of the current installation, security settings specified in MsiLockPermissionsEx will not be applied to it. It should be kept in mind that a patch that includes either of these two tables – MsiLockPermissionsEx or LockPermissions – will be marked as not uninstallable.
Q: Will there be an ICE validation test to help me author the new table?
A: Yes, ICE 104 is being introduced to help validate the MsiLockPermissionsEx table.
Q: Will this feature be available on down-level platforms?
The installation fails if both tables are present.
*Default security settings are applied.
*"Default security settings" mean that if an object does not replace an existing object, it receives no explicit security descriptor: the access to the new object is based on the attributes of its parent or container object. If an object replaces an existing object on the system, the replacement gets the security settings of the object it replaces. If the replaced object had no explicit security descriptor, the access to the new object is based on the attributes of its parent or container object.
Is the table really correct? If both tables are used on down-level platforms, I'd expect Windows Installer to ignore the MsiLockPermissionsEx table it doesn't recognize, and use the LockPermissions table present in the package. However your table indicates that the default security settings are applied in this situation.
In a package that must support pre-7 versions of Windows, do the desired ACLs depend on which version of Windows is being used? If not, the solution seems simple: use LockPermissions if possible, and custom actions otherwise. The package will then install the same way in multiple Windows versions and this does not require Windows Installer to support LockPermissions and MsiLockPermissionsEx in the same package.
Where this breaks down though is merge modules. Now if you're including into your package a merge module that contains the LockPermissions table, and you want to make the next version of the package require Windows 7 and use MsiLockPermissionsEx, you need to either get the vendor of the merge module to also switch to MsiLockPermissionsEx, or hack the tables locally and hope it works. I don't know though; perhaps such a package would be expected to use a chainer instead of merge modules anyway.
Dear Kalle, yes you are right. If both tables are used on down-level platforms, then the security settings from LockPermissions table will be applied (and MsiLockPermissionsEx table will simply be ignored). This was a cut and paste mistake while authoring the blog post and has been corrected to reflect the expected behavior now. Thanks for pointing out this discrepancy.


Sometimes, deciding safely all material issues, people a little differently begin to organize your life.And if prosperity in the family makes it possible not to carry the baby shopping, do not wake him up early in the morning and not leave with relatives at the time of travel or evening trips to the theater and to the friends, the nanny - quite a reasonable way out.
Until a few years ago about minders spoke loud enough.People who live from paycheck to paycheck, it was difficult to imagine yourself nanny employers, who will sit with their child.However, in guvernerstva Russia has a considerable history.
traditional church upbringing did not provide for the presence of tutors (translated from the French "School Teacher") in home education.Oversight of the children "uncles" and "nurse" did not have any special education.
ago ranks of people who wish to, at least require - in a church service, and civic, doctor's art."However, with the establishment of the academy were forbidden to study at home out of fear, as if home teachers, especially foreign ones, "do not have any protivnosti Orthodox faith."During the reign of Catherine, which replaced reformism Peter gets spread of home education in the noble families.At the same time, a decree was issued "punish" tutors have certificates of the Academy of Sciences and Moscow State University.
Under Paul I was preparing governesses Bourgeois School at the Institute for Noble Maidens, better known to our generation as the Smolny.The nobility of the era of well-paid work of tutors.For many girls, this was the only way to earn money, but it is "bread."
in post-revolutionary Russia, such as the profession would not exist.Neither the universities nor the schools did not teach this.However, at all times, some families needed a tutor, working woman with a child - assistant.Demand for nurses has always been.Very often, these good women gave much more than a psychologist, teacher and tutor together.Today you can become a professional nurse, having trained in a special agency.But who is to say with certainty what the nurse better with or without a diploma.Because the nurse - it's more a calling than a profession.Age, intelligence, education, experience does not matter.In the family, the status of "automatic" can not be obtained, it must be earned.In the truest sense of the word.
In fact, each hiring a nanny, wants somehow to insure, secure reciprocal obligations.Omitting all the legal subtleties, we can reduce the variety of contracts when hiring a nanny to two kinds.All of them focus on the end result - caring for the child.The first - a civilian, its filling does not require effort and time.Typically, such contracts are concluded by the agency.Less of that there can not be all the obligations stipulated babysitting.Another contract - employment.Individuals, legally speaking, the right to conclude contracts as an employer to meet personal needs.Nurses are lost - 13% income tax, but instead acquire social security worker.That contract nurse can protect yourself from many troubles.
Very good when the baby sitter and match each other in temperament, or if they wanted the nurse did not achieve mutual understanding.On spontaneous labor market is often the nurse enters the category of "workers."From the nurse-educator of the child's parents need not only to care for the baby, but also its development and education.A person embarking on this work, should be ready for the fact that he will gain prestige, to show himself a specialist to whom heard.In short, starting to work as a nanny, you have to be prepared for the fact that you will learn, put in place, often referring to the nurse, not as a man but as a woman of "service."Not enough nurse flexibility and tact in communicating the work does not take place.To adapt to the "life" of a new family is the responsibility of babysitting.Well, if the baby's parents will be able to offer nurse their demands.Much worse when the rules of education in the family is not.If the foundations of the family do not suit you, it is better to leave this house.Adult you do not change, and the baby will suffer between two fires.
It is important that the nurse and the parents looked at life about the same.Then for two weeks trial nurse can find an approach to the child.No prior appointment is not to replace human interaction.You can sum up every month baby education, building relationships with their parents on trust.This will help in the future claim to the family with a child, it is better to know in advance about his habits, moods, favorite games, books, cravings, in short, everything that he loves and hates.


Whilst we were looking forward to the rest of the trip, we were sad to leave Ramathra Fort, we had a great time relaxing and spending time just eating and sitting by the fire, we might travel a lot but we tend to be active all the time so it really was quite the rarity to just have some time to ourselves without having to rush around.
Sanjay our driver picked up us after breakfast but not before we returned to our suite and to pack (we ended up keeping that and getting the tent too rather than having to move) just before we left we spotted a herd of Blue Bulls eating directly outside of the window.
Finally packing up our goods we arrived at Khem Villas, an Eco Lodge on the outskirts of Ranthambhore National Park, as with all of our accommodation it is recommended for its eco-friendly credentials and for engaging in responsible tourism. Checking into our room we were then told that as it was the quiet season we could upgrade to a cottage should we want to, obviously we jumped on the chance and it was the right choice, our original room was nice enough but the cottage looked out onto the crocodile lake and had an outdoor bath and shower.
Khem Villas is an entirely vegetarian site so after a late lunch we took a walk around the grounds. Rumour has it that it is not uncommon to see jackals, jungle cats, hyenas and desert fox within the grasslands but the first thing we saw on arrival were some very active monkeys sat on top of the cottages!
We spent the rest of the day at our leisure, watching the kingfishers and crocs before dinner and an early night in preparation for our first day of Safari.
Khem Villas celebrates the life and work of Fateh Singh Rathore, also known as the Tiger Man of India. He was committed to the protection of the native tigers and helped carve out a sanctuary for them at Ranthambhore. The lobby area contains a large photograph of him plus copies of his awards and publications made about his work. He campaigned for conservation of the tiger, worked alongside (and sometimes against) the government to protect the species and as part of other organisations to raise awareness of their plight.
Khem Villas is located on a large plot of land developed by Goverdhan who is the son of India's famous Tiger Man. When Goverdhan graduated as a medical Doctor in 1988 he came to back to Ranthambhore to work with local people living around the Park in an effort to engage them in projects that would make them less dependent on the park for their natural resource needs and therefore in the long run help save the Park and its Tigers.
For 25 years, before Khem Villas became a jungle camp, Goverdhan developed the land on which Khem Villas is located into a small wilderness haven that has small lakes, forest areas and open grasslands. The focus at Khem Villas is not just Tigers but beyond, engaging visitors and informing them about the various challenges that threaten the survival of Ranthambhore and its Tigers.
Goverdhan is involved with two NGOs Prakratik, Ranthambhore Foundation and Tiger Watch providing health care, education, afforestation, dairy development, employment generation, monitoring of Tigers and more importantly sustainable livelihoods.Tiger Watch realised that the tiger poachers came mainly from the Mogya tribe of nomadic hunter-gatherers with no other means of livelihood, so they started a rehabilitation programme for them, involving the women in handicraft production, and setting up a hostel where their children can be clothed, fed and educated, to give them some dignity and better prospects in future. This is strictly on condition that the men give up poaching. There is a small not for profit shop on site at Khem Villas where all funds raised are donated to these causes.
It's an inspiring place to stay.

Another View: Green vehicle on a red planet
PUBLISHED: March 30, 2011 at 12:00 a.m. | UPDATED: August 28, 2017 at 9:50 a.m.
The federal government's numerous critics have sneered at its efforts to coax Americans into heavily subsidized battery powered cars with limited operating ranges.
But the fact is that the government has built and successfully operated for the last seven years a solar-powered vehicle that has required zero maintenance and performed far beyond expectations, literally out of this world. It's on Mars.
And the sticker price, $820 million to build, deliver and test drive, is a little beyond even the most environmentally conscientious car buyer. The vehicle is the Mars rover Opportunity, one of NASA's great successes and a thorough repudiation of the charge that the government can't do anything right.
Opportunity is in the news because NASA, except for periodic attempts to reestablish contact, is close to giving up on its twin, Spirit. In April 2009, Spirit bogged down in the sand and NASA engineers were unable to free it.
The rover functioned nicely as a stationary laboratory but being unable to turn itself toward the sun to recharge its batteries, Spirit went into automatic hibernation for the Martian winter.
Launched in 2003, the rovers landed on opposite sides of the planet in 2004 with an expected lifespan of three months and a range of maybe 600 yards. Spirit had been operating for five years and gone 4.8 miles when it got stuck. The still rolling Opportunity has passed the 16.6-mile mark.
Not bad for a government program.

The security in the domestic terminal is awful. In the mornings and evenings there is at least a 30 mins wait for security check. This airport handles less flights than Mumbai or Delhi - but rudeness of staff and inefficiency of service lack of facilities etc has been perfected to a fine art.
It has to be one of the worst airports in the world. I have travelled extensively and never come across anything like Kolkata airport - it's filthy and plain disgusting. First impressions are very important and airports needn't be flashy but they need to be clean and efficient. On my last visit in 2011 I was shocked and disgusted by the state of the airport - filthy inside and even filthier outside. The parking lot was littered with rubbish and there were beggars.
One of the worst airport I have travelled through and I am a Kolkata native. Both Domestic and International (in particular) are very small and dirty. Baggage handler requested money to get a baggage cart and help loading the goods onto it. Restroom needs cleaning. Sitting arrangement while waiting for boarding at international airport is bad with torn seats. One improvement over last 2 years is the immigration staff.
Poor facilities at the departure terminal. Announcements are few and hard to decipher! Though immigration was quick. Not enough place to sit while waiting for departure. And some of the corner seats were dirty and need to be replaced. While arriving one notice all the construction work going on there - still have a long way to go to catch up with airports abroad.
Upon arrival bus was provided to reach immigration building and same is true on return trip. There are no airport gates which is unusual for an international airport. Bathrooms need improvement and there is lack of ventilation and air-conditioning in the departure lounge.
A glum and grotty airport. The immigration officers were rude toilets filthy and the facilities not worthy of an international airport. For the approx. 30 meters from the gate to the aircraft I had to board a bus. What an utter waste of time and fuel.
Recent trip (April) thru Kolkata convinced me to never go there again. Airport Immigration and Security were rude and uncaring. Slapped our passports on the counter with a huffy-get out of here attitude. Security changed boarding rules regarding carry on baggage while we were standing in line. All personnel expressed no concern for flight departure time.
It would be a wonderful treat if the Airports Authority of India people would find time to check their dictionaries for the term "transit". My experience arriving from Dhaka and flying onward to Dubai involved Jet Airways personnel having to retrieve my case from the carousel fill in a form (in duplicate with old-fashioned carbon paper) and then walk with me to international departures (along the apron). There despite having a boarding pass for my EK flight issued by Jet Airways in Dhaka I was escorted by Emirates staff to the check-in area (by-passing immigration) where my suitcase was re-labelled and a new boarding pass was issued.
I use the international terminal twice a year (4 times if you consider arrival and departure) connecting from Frankfurt Bangkok or Dhaka It's just a sad airport. The officials are glum morose wouldn't smile wouldn't greet. Toilets are unworthy - how difficult is it to construct and maintain standard toilets? The international departure lounge is small and dingy and devoid of shops and eateries. Early this year I even witnessed an altercation between a passenger and a security personnel that was allowed to go on for almost half an hour - it ended in a fisticuff! I know the domestic terminal is better but that does not help me. I love Kolkata follow its development and have used the international terminal on and off over the last 35 years. Some superficial changes were done but nothing in essence has changed over these years. I say even if you cannot afford the glitter and space of Bangkok KL HK Seoul or Dubai at least offer a smile to the weary traveller. I try to fly direct avoiding transfers at Delhi or Mumbai but I am finding it increasingly difficult to get a straight flight from outside. I have seen some sketches of a new terminal that promises to be of international standard. I hope I will be able to step through it in my lifetime!
It is not a modern airport by any stretch of imagination and the services offered are admittedly basic. You will not be spoilt for choices while shopping duty free for example. It is however relatively small functions smoothly convenient efficient and hassle free for an airport offering immigration and customs services. Staff are generally helpful efficient and polite. Any one with experience of rigorous Indian security checks before and after a flight will understand why this is my preferred airport in India. As in USA luggage transfer is not automatic for international transit passengers and getting a prepaid taxi is the best option out of the airport to the city. Domestic terminal is five minute's walking distance from the international terminal. It is newer larger and much busier than the international terminal.

What Happens in a Divorce Proceeding in Oregon?
In Oregon, a divorce is called a dissolution of marriage. It is the only way to legally end a marriage. It's important to discuss the divorce process with a divorce attorney medford or. For example, a spouse must have a reason they want the divorce. Oregon doesn't have a "no fault" divorce. Instead, the spouses must use the "irreconcilable differences" as a reason for their divorce, if there is no specific reason to end the marriage.
One or both spouses must live in Oregon for at least six months prior to filing for divorce. Another requirement is residence within the state. The divorce petition must be filed in the county where the spouse lives. According to Oregon law, a spouse can file for a legal separation in the state if they don't meet the residency requirement.

After an Indiana traffic accident, a person may incur major injuries and/or car damage. Sometimes a car accident is just that, an accident. This means that the accident happened, and it was no one's fault. However, a car accident can become a personal injury claim in certain situations. A personal injury claim requires an auto accident lawyer merrillville in to resolve the case in the injured driver's favor.
Indiana has what's called statute of limitations. These are limitations on when an injured person can sue the at-fault driver in court. The injured person, who could be a passenger or driver injured in the crash, as a specific time to file their claim.
This specific time is two years from the date of the auto accident. For instance, if a car accident happened on February 2, 2018, an injured passenger or driver has until February 2, 2019 to file their lawsuit. If they wait until February 3, 2019 to file a lawsuit, their claim will be dismissed. Thus, it's important to file a lawsuit early so the claim and proceed to court. Indiana doesn't require a lawsuit to conclude by a certain time. The lawsuit must be filed. The statute of limitation does not extend to car insurance claims. This means that an injured driver has a longer time to file an insurance claim.
Most of the time, one party is responsible for causing the car accident. However, an injured driver may be responsible for partially causing the auto accident. Indiana law allows for the at-fault driver to claim the comparative fault defense. This defense is an option when there was more than one person involved in an accident.
Comparative fault decreases the amount an injured driver receives. For example, an injured driver is awarded $1,000 for their pain and suffering, medical bills and lost wages. However, the at-fault driver claims the injured driver was partially at fault for the auto accident. If the jury agreed and found the injured driver 20 percent at fault for the auto accident, then the award would decrease.
The award always decreases by the percentage of fault. The percentage of fault in this example is 20 percent. Thus, the injured driver would receive $800 instead of $1,000. An injured driver's lawyer will have an opportunity to fight this defense and get their client the full compensation. The exact strategy depends on specific circumstances such as proving the injured driver was not partially at fault.
Child custody involves where children will live and how they will be raised. The issue often comes up for divorcing, never married or divorced parents. New Jersey encourages parents to work together to determine child custody issues. Unfortunately, not all parents can agree on how their children should be raised or with whom they will live.

A parent wanting to establish child custody must first file a motion to start child custody proceedings. The motion is called a custody complaint and is filed in the county where the children reside.

Physical child custody is the legal right for a parent to live with their children. A parent can seek sole custody, which gives them the right to live with their children all the time, or share custody. The latter is called joint custody.
They also must indicate whether they sole or joint legal child custody. Legal child custody is the right for parents to decide how their children will be raised. Sole legal custody means that one parent has the right to make decisions about schools, religion and medical care for their children. A couple of the motion is sent to the other parent. The parent must file a response and indicate whether they want sole or joint physical and legal child custody.
Parenting time is the child custody agreement of when children will spend time with their parents. Parenting time can be submitted with the petition. However, the parents must come up with a parenting plan together and submit it for the court's approval. If they can't agree, then the parents will continue to work on a parenting plan in the step of the child custody process.
Mediation is not an option. It is mandatory. Mandatory mediation is the process where parents try to reach an agreement on child custody issues prior to trial.
If parents can't decide child custody issues via mediation, the family court can investigate things like family's economic condition, parents' character and criminal record of both parents. The investigation is to determine if either parent should be awarded custody of their children.

Sunderland's relegation woes increased after succumbing to a 2-0 defeat against Manchester City in their English Premier League clash at the Stadium of Light on Sunday.
Sergio Aguero scored the only goal of the first-half, three minutes before the break against a resolute Sunderland.
However, the game opened up more in the second, and Leroy Sane doubled City's lead on the hour mark for his third league goal of the season.
David Moyes' side gave a good account of themselves in the opening half, going toe-to-toe with Pep Guardiola's star-studded side and were buoyed when Jermaine Defoe struck the post mid-way through the half.
However, the Citizens' quality shone through just before the break as Raheem Sterling combined well with Yaya Toure, before fizzing in a delicious cross for Aguero.
The Argentine striker, who has enjoyed previous encounters at the Stadium of Light, ran past his marker and poked the ball beyond an onrushing Jordan Pickford.
Aguero nearly doubled the lead a couple of seconds later but the goal was rightfully disallowed due to Sterling being offside during the build-up.
City's goal deflated the home side who fought valiantly to stay in the game and created a few chances that might have worried the visitors during stages of the opening 45 minutes.
Nonetheless, the second-half, the Sky Blues kicked into another gear as David Silva, Sane and Sterling started exploiting the space left behind the Black Cats defence – who looked to chase the game.
Pickford made a couple of good saves from Silva and the Germany international before the pair combined to double the lead for City.
First, Sterling broke the line, finding Silva, who then played in the overlapping Sane at pace, leaving right-back Billy Jones for dead and hammering a fierce shot into the far corner of Pickford's net, in off the post.
The home side didn't look like getting back into the game after the second goal and Guardiola's side looked more likely to add to the scoreline.
But in the end they settled for the two-goal advantage, moving back into second place, ahead of Spurs, while the home side remained rooted to the foot of the table – six points from safety.
