Derek Jeter held his annual state-of-the-captain address with the media Sunday morning in Tampa and insisted that Opening Day is a possibility as he returns from a broken ankle. Jeter said the ankle injury left him couch-bound for weeks in the fall and into the winter, even forcing him to use a motorized scooter to get around his mansion. His offseason, he said, was "absolutely terrible." But he's ready to begin work toward an April 1 return and he doesn't feel his age — he'll be 39 in June — is a deterrent. Hey, the image of the shortstop on a motorized scooter doesn't help the age concerns.
Here's something to warm the hearts of Mets' fans: Johan Santana threw 20 pitches off a mound Sunday in Port St. Lucie and, like Jeter, declared himself on the road to starting Opening Day. Santana's no-hitter was the highlight of the 2012 season, but he was shut down with inflammation in his back. He's entering the final year of his $137.5 million contract and the Mets would love a healthy season to finish. … The story of the day from Red Sox camp was the bizarre behavior of Alfredo Aceves, who inexplicably lobbed soft pitches over the plate while throwing live batting practice to hitters. Manager John Farrell talked to Aceves and the pitcher began throwing at his usual speed, but it was the new manager's first test. Welcome to the job.
Spring training was overshadowed by an interesting golf outing in Florida on Sunday. Tiger Woods played with President Barack Obama at the Floridian, a club in Port St. Lucie. The group also included Houston Astros owner Jim Crane and U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk. … Danica Patrick became the first woman to win the pole in any Sprint Cup race, winning the top position at the Daytona 500 on Sunday. Patrick's been a disappointment since making the transition from IndyCar to NASCAR, so this is a step in the right direction. … Rafael Nadal won his first title since returning from a knee injury, downing David Nalbandian in the finals of the Brazil Open on Sunday. It was Nadal's 51st singles title and first since winning the French Open last June. At 26, he's still ranked fifth in the world and might be poised for a big year.
After losing three of four, Nol 4 Michigan beat Penn State 79-71 on Sunday. Glenn Robinson III matched his career high with 21 points while Trey Burke had 29 for the Wolverines, who lost by 23 to Michigan State on Tuesday night. ... And how about this score: Wisconsin 71, Ohio State 49. The Buckeyes are ranked 13th in the country, but they were awful against the No. 20 Badgers and were blown off the court in Madison. ... Rick Pitino's Louisville Cardinals rode a 22-3 first-half run en route to a 59-41 win at South Florida. Louisville (21-5) is 9-4 in the Big East, just a half game behind Georgetown, Marquette and Syracuse, all 9-3.

Q: Microsoft.Data.SqlClient NuGet is needed in some projects but others you can do using Microsoft.Data.SqlClient without the NuGet In some projects I need to add NuGet package Microsoft.Data.SqlClient to the project before I can do
using Microsoft.Data.SqlClient

In other projects, I can do that without explicitly adding the NuGet package.
The examples below are both .NET 6.0 projects (same for .NET 5).
Referenced directly:

Not referenced directly:

I am wondering how this works.
Is the package referenced indirectly somehow?

A: AspNetCore.HealthChecks.SqlServer depends on Microsoft.Data.SqlClient:

*

*.NETStandard 2.0

*

*Microsoft.Data.SqlClient (>= 2.1.2)

*Microsoft.Extensions.Diagnostics.HealthChecks (>= 5.0.1)

*net5.0

*Microsoft.Data.SqlClient (>= 2.1.2)

*Microsoft.Extensions.Diagnostics.HealthChecks (>= 5.0.1)

so as transitive dependency Microsoft.Data.SqlClient becomes available for you also.

Hohokam in Arizona Build Platform Mounds
The Hohokams (the "vanished ones" in O'odham language) were Native Americans who lived in the southern parts of Arizona to the northern portions of the Mexican state of Sonora. The culture flourished between 100 BC and 1500 AD. They were the ancestors of modern day Pima people or Akimel O'odham who spoke a variant of the Uto-Aztecan language. The Hohokams were known for their innovative irrigation systems in areas that they settled, particularly the Gila and Salt River valleys. These canals allowed them to grow food that was enough to support their people and allowed them to thrive in an inhospitable environment. Their society was highly organized and complex—something which they shared with the other Southwest Culture peoples, such as the Mogollon and the Anasazi. Hohokam built Platform mounds between 1100 -1200 AD according to the Biblical Timeline with World History.

Hohokam Platform Mounds
"Map of Hohokam and neighboring cultures, c. 1350"
The Hohokam settlements showed a distinct Mesoamerican influence, as shown in the ballcourt and platform mounds they constructed. The earliest mounds were built around 800 AD, but the majority were constructed between 1150 and 1350 AD. Platform mounds were typically rectangular in shape which covered an area of hundreds to thousands of square feet and reached up to ten feet high. Many of these earthworks can be found in Pueblo Grande, Mesa Grande, Plaza Tempe, and Tres Pueblos. As much as fifty platform mounds were discovered in thirty Hohokam villages in recent years. At the culture's peak, there must have been around a hundred platform mounds.
The Hohokams usually built the mounds along major canals, and initially did not build structures on top. By 1250, however, the Hohokams began to build homes for their leaders and priests, as well as temples on top of the mounds. The construction of these platforms was pretty simple. The Hohokam started by building a single cell made of adobe, granite, and sandstone. Other cells would be built around it, and the structure would be filled with trash and soil. The top was covered with a natural cement made of calcium carbonate called caliche. Structures would be built on top of the finished mound. The largest mounds in the Salt River Valley reached up to 30 feet high and were as big as a football field.

An interview: with R.J. Toner – Bay Path College's Basketball Coach
By: M. Ellis, Sports Information Student Assistant
On a chilly afternoon in November, I had the chance to chat with our own R.J. Toner, the Head Women's basketball coach. As I conducted the interview, I couldn't help but notice the changing colors of the leaves on the trees outside my window. A new season had begun, and so will a new season for the Bay Path College basketball team. Perhaps this season will be a winning season.
Q: Tell us a little bit about your educational background?
A: I graduated from Manchester High School located in Manchester, CT in 1999 and attended Saint Joseph's College of Maine located in Standish, Maine. I graduated from Saint Josephs in 2003 with my degree in Physical Education with a concentration for teacher preparation. Education is a valuable tool that you can never get enough of and it makes you as an individual a more rounded person.
Q: Have you received any certifications pertaining to your current position?
A: The certifications that I have are First Aid and CPR, High School coaching permit which allows me to coach at any High School in Connecticut.
Q: Are you a member of any coaching associations?
A: I am a member of the NCAA (College) and CAS-CIAC (High School) coaches associations.
Q: What developed your interest in coaching?
A: In 1996 my father died on a basketball floor while playing in an alumni game for charity. At the time I was 15 and my sister Jessica, who attends Bay Path presently, was very young, 8 years old. It was her first year playing basketball and my father was the head coach of her team. With him gone someone had to coach and at the age of 15 I took over. While coaching this team I saw how rewarding it was when a child/student or athlete had learned something new for the first time. Seeing the smile on their faces when they achieve their personal and team goals is when I really get paid. Knowing that I can make a difference and motivate individuals to reach their highest potential is what drives me every day in both the teaching and coaching fields. My father, in his death gave me a gift that I will always value and through coaching a little bit of him lives on in me each and every day.
Q: How would you describe your coaching style?
A: I would describe my teaching/coaching style as applying the skills necessary to compete on the basketball court to the everyday life experiences we all face day to day. Relating the content that I give them to things in their own lives allows them to apply it to things that they experience outside of Bay Path College. This makes what I teach more concrete and sticks much better in their minds. Having my student-athletes set realistic goals that are achievable and attainable motivates them to reach levels they may have never thought they were capable of. This challenges them to be better for not just themselves but for the sake of the whole team.
Q: What are your pre-season thoughts?
A: Talent wise this year's team has more talent than any other basketball team this college has ever seen. We are very versatile at every position and all the players have bought into the philosophy I have developed. They believe in one another and will go through a wall for each other. If we continue to build on last year's successes and challenge ourselves to stay focused for forty minutes this team could be playing well into February. The deciding factor in our success will be to stay healthy and properly conditioned for three months.
Q: What is the best advice you would give your players?
A: The best advice I would give my athletes would be to settle for nothing and don't let anyone deny you of what you are most passionate about. Aside from proving to yourself that YOU can do it, the next best thing is proving to others how powerful you truly are as an individual. In life there are many curves and bumpy roads along the way but you truly have only two options. The first being avoiding every bump and straying away from your path or going over those bumps and straightening those curves to pave your own way. That makes it your own personal journey, and it makes you stronger as an individual and a team member.
Q: Who had the greatest influence in your life?
A: The greatest influence in my life without a question would be my mother. Through her strength and wisdom she has shaped me into the person I am today. She is strong enough to move a mountain and has kept me grounded and focused in the most adverse of times. She is more than just my mother but also my best friend.
Q: What is a quote that you live by?
A: The quote I live by everyday is "Make a difference. Not just in your own life, but in someone else's. When you can make an impact in the lives of another individual you will not just be heard but you will always be remembered." Anonymous.
Q: What motivates you?
A: I am motivated by the struggles that get thrown at me on a day to day basis. Overcoming these obstacles and coming out on top gives me the most satisfaction. When someone says "I can't", I like to rise to the occasion and say "Watch this!" Being challenged makes the victory even sweeter.
Q: What are your hopes for this Basketball season?
A: My hopes for this season are that these young ladies rise to the occasion and see just how special of a team they are. If they can work together and look out for each other on the basketball court, this team is capable of anything. In the end I would like to see them in playoffs for the first time in a long time. They have the power to change history and not be it. Competing is the most important aspect to me and if we can compete and put ourselves in some close situations I could see this team pulling off double digit wins this year.
Q: Finally Coach Toner, how would you describe your experience at Bay Path College?
A: My experience here at Bay Path College has been very rewarding. The support of the faculty at Bay Path College has been tremendous. When I first stepped foot on campus, it did not have a typical college campus atmosphere but felt more like home. I want to thank Dr. Carol Leary and Steve Smith for giving me the opportunity to make an impact on these young ladies lives and grow as not just a coach but a teacher as well.


Homeland to End After Season 8?
Earlier this summer, it was confirmed at the TCA summer tour that Showtime has renewed its hit series Homeland for a seventh and eighth season, with the upcoming Season 6 set to debut this January. It seems that Season 8 may be the last for Homeland, according to showrunner Alex Gansa. While Showtime has yet to confirm the final season, Alex Gansa revealed that he will certainly be "done" with the show after Season 8, that is if he is "still standing."
Deadline spoke with Alex Gansa, who confirmed that his involvement with the show will be done after Season 8. He did add during Showtime's pre-Emmy's party that it would ultimately be the network's decision on when to bring the show to a close. Season 6, which is slated to debut on Sunday, January 15 at 9 PM ET, is currently filming in New York City.
This season brings the show back to the United States, after spending the last two seasons abroad. The fourth season was shot in South Africa, while Homeland Season 5 was filmed in Berlin. While the show will return to the United States this season, Alex Gansa told Deadline that he hopes to shoot one of the two final seasons, preferably the eighth and final season, in Isreal. This would bring the show full circle, since it was adapted from the Israeli series Prisoners of War.
Homeland Season 6 will once again star Emmy, Screen Actors Guild and Golden Globe Award winner Claire Danes, Emmy nominee Rupert Friend, Oscar winner and Emmy nominee F. Murray Abraham and Emmy and Tony Award winner Mandy Patinkin. After she thwarted a terrorist attack in Berlin, season six picks up several months later and finds Carrie Mathison (Claire Danes) back on American soil, living in Brooklyn, New York. She has begun working at a foundation whose efforts are to provide aid to Muslims living in the U.S.
Season six will tackle the after effects of the U.S. presidential election, with the entire season taking place between election day and the inauguration. It's a strange, transitional time in the halls of government filled with anxiety and different competing interests, where a very fragile and complex transfer of power takes place between the outgoing president and the incoming president-elect. With Showtime already renewing Homeland through Season 8, the network still has plenty of time to make a decision on the fate of this series.


British Prime Minister Theresa May warned her divided party on Sunday that there may be "no Brexit at all" if they wrecked her plan to forge a close relationship with the European Union after leaving the world's biggest trading bloc.
LONDON: British Prime Minister Theresa May warned her divided party on Sunday that there may be "no Brexit at all" if they wrecked her plan to forge a close relationship with the European Union after leaving the world's biggest trading bloc.
"My message to the country this weekend is simple: we need to keep our eyes on the prize," May wrote on Facebook. "If we don't, we risk ending up with no Brexit at all." Linking the fate of Brexit to her own survival in such an explicit way indicates just how precarious May's position remains after her government was thrust into crisis and U.S. President Donald Trump publicly criticised her Brexit strategy.
The British government has also stepped up planning for a so-called "no deal" Brexit that could spook financial markets and dislocate trade flows across Europe and beyond.
Seeking to strike a balance between those who want a smooth Brexit and those who fear staying too close to the EU's orbit, May sought the approval of senior ministers for her plans on July 6.
"SUE THE EU" May called on Sunday for the country to back her plan for "friction-free movement of goods", saying it was the only option to avoid undermining the peace in Northern Ireland and preserving the unity of the United Kingdom.
Davis, writing in the Sunday Times, said it was an "astonishingly dishonest claim" to say there is no worked-out alternative to May's plan. He said her plan would allow EU regulations to harm British manufacturers.
"Be in no doubt: under the government's proposal our fingers would still be caught in this mangle and the EU would use it ruthlessly to punish us for leaving and handicap our future competitiveness," Davis said.
Steve Baker, a senior lawmaker who served as a deputy to Davis in the Brexit ministry before resigning with his boss, said May had presided over a "cloak and dagger" plot to undermine Brexit.
May's position was further undermined by Trump who said in an interview published in Rupert Murdoch's Sun newspaper on Friday that her proposals would probably kill off any chance of a post-Brexit trade deal with the world's biggest economy.
"He told me I should sue the EU," she told BBC television. "Sue the EU. Not go into negotiations - sue them." Though Trump later contradicted his comments by then promising a great U.S. trade deal, the president made clear his admiration for the 54-year-old Johnson, who Trump said would one day make a great British prime minister.
Steve Bannon, Trump's former adviser, was even quoted by Britain's Daily Telegraph as saying that it was now time for Johnson to challenge May for her job.
"Now is the moment," The Telegraph quoted Bannon, Trump's former strategist and a key player in his 2016 election campaign, as saying.
"If Boris Johnson looks at this... There comes an inflection point, the Chequers deal was an inflection point, we will have to see what happens," Bannon said.
Johnson, the face of the Brexit campaign for many has remained silent in public since he warned in his resignation letter on July 9 that the "Brexit dream" was being suffocated by needless self-doubt.
When asked on Sunday if she would stand if a Conservative Party leadership contest was triggered, May declined to directly answer saying: "I am in this for the long term." The extent of the danger to May from rebels in her party will become clearer over the course of two debates in parliament this week.
Brexiteer rebels are unlikely to have enough support in parliament to win a vote, but the debate will show how many in May's party are prepared to vote against her at a time when some are looking to gather the numbers needed to challenge her leadership.


A landlady in north-east Italy could face 18 months in prison after allegedly killing her tenants' three dogs, in a row over unpaid rent, Italian media reported on Tuesday.
The 58-year-old landlady is on trial in Treviso for allegedly using poisoned meatballs to kill Bubu, Puppy and Tommy, after the dogs' owners failed to pay the rent.
According to her tenants, a 35-year-old man and 29-year-old woman, the landlady left the deadly meatballs in the garden to be eaten by the unsuspecting pets, Tgcom24 reported.
They had not paid the rent on the Cordignano apartment for two months, after losing their jobs, and claim to have received intimidating messages from their landlady.
She denies the charges and says she was in Naples when the dogs died, a claim supported by her family's testimony.
Elsewhere in Italy, pets are having a happier time.
On Monday, Italian media recounted the tale of Rudy, a five-year-old Pekingese dog who showed up in Florence three years after going missing in Sicily.
It is unclear how the dog came to travel to Tuscany from the southern Italian island, but thanks to a microchip Rudy could be reunited with his owner.


Best Phosphatidylserine provides the essential brain nutrient phosphatidylserine in a matrix of other phospholipids and cofactors. Phosphatidylserine and other phospholipids are structural components of brain neurons that can enhance cell-to-cell communication. Studies have shown the ability of supplemental phosphatidylserine to support healthy cognitive function. It may enhance healthy memory and thinking ability by facilitating communication between neurons. Best Phosphatidylserine contains phosphatidylserine contains phosphatidylserine and other essential nutritional cofactors in a formula that is suitable for vegetarians.
Take one capsule 3 times daily with meals.
Modified cellulose (vegetarian capsule), silicon dioxide, magnesium stearate (vegetable source), magnesium silicate.
A. Phosphatidylserine is a phospholipid that is vital to your brain cells. Phospholipids are molecules containing both amino and fatty acids found in every cell membrane within our bodies. The fatty acids include omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acid molecules—essential for life. Actually, phosphatidylserine is universally present in living things from the most simple to the most complex. It is present in every one of our cells. Phosphatidylserine has many known functions throughout all of our tissues and organs, but is most important as the key building block for the billions of cells that make up our brain. First isolated in 1942, phosphatidylserine is now available as a dietary supplement derived from soy lecithin.
Q. What are the benefits of Phosphatidylserine?
A.Yes! The use of phosphatidylserine is well validated through clinical research and proven safe in standard toxicology tests. The large number of human studies conducted on phosphatidylserine produced a flawless safety record. First, it has proven compatible with a wide array of medications including: antacids, anti-hypertensives, anti-inflammatories, antiulcer and mucolytic agents, diuretics, antithrombotics, hypoglycemics, antiarrthymics, insulin, calcium channel blockers, calcitonin, chemotherapy drugs and other prescription medications. Second, phosphatidylserine is well tolerated by elderly patients with chronic diseases such as cerebrovascular, artery and vein disorders, heart diseases, high blood pressure, diabetes, lung diseases, digestive system diseases and arthritis.Interestingly, clinical researchers found phosphatidylserine lowered uric acid levels and liver SGPT in their elderly patients—which can signify improved liver health.

Q: Cloning table row in Jquery Running into a bit of a brick wall with jquery, I currently have the following code:
http://jsfiddle.net/uSLhb/1/
The clone method being:
$("#addMore").click(function() {
    $('.user_restriction:last').clone().insertAfter(".user_restriction:last");
    return false;
});

As you can see I have it set up so you can easily clone the row.
The problem I am facing is showing the correct select list (In the 'Field' column) in the new cloned elements, depending on what field they select from the first select (In the 'table' column) field in the row.
Wondering if anyone can help me find a solution, thanks!

A: Working example here - I had to use jsbin as fiddle was playing up!
Clone does not maintain the selected state, so you'll need to grab the value before cloning and set it after.
Your click now becomes:
$("#addMore").click(function() {
   var value = $('.user_restriction:last').find('select').val();
  $('.user_restriction:last').clone().insertAfter(".user_restriction:last");

        //alert(value);
$('.user_restriction:last').find('select').val(value);
    return false;
});

A: The problem you are facing occurs, because you are using IDs for your selects.
IDs must be unique in a page, otherwise you'll run into trouble. If you're cloning a select with an id, the id will be cloned too, thus producing an invalid document.
Have a look at the example I created on JsBin
Markup:

        <select name="table[]" class="userselect">
            <option value="" selected>---</option>
            <option value="members">Members</option>
            <option value="staff_positions">Staff Positions</option>
        </select>

I changed all the IDs to classes and altered the change-handler, because this was your second problem.
An event-handler gets bound to the elements that are selected, not to those you add afterwards. This is a proper use-case for event-delegation, when the handler is bound to a parent and catches, in this example, the change event from a child select-element, no matter when it was added to the DOM.
Using jQuery, this is a way to achieve this:
$('table.table').on('change', '.userselect', function() {

    var activeRow = $(this).parents('tr');

    activeRow.find('td').eq(1).find('select').hide();

    if(this.value.length === 0){
        activeRow.find('td').eq(1).find('select').eq(0).show();
    }else{
        activeRow.find("." + this.value).show();
    }

});

The handler is bound to your table - element, .userselect is a class I added to the first select in a row. So every change on an element that was added later would be handled too. In the handler, I changed the behaviour to affect only the actual table-row, not the whole table.

Битва при Беннокберні () — одна з найважливіших битв англо-шотландських війн XIII—XVI століть, що відбулася 23-24 червня 1314 року поблизу селища  біля річки з тією ж назвою. Розгром англійської армії під Беннокберном забезпечив відновлення незалежності Шотландії.

Воєнні дії перед боєм
Успішні дії короля Шотландії Роберта I Брюса в 1309—1312 роках з визволення північної і західної частин країни від англійської окупації дозволили перейти до облоги великих міст нижньої Шотландії. У 1313 році командувачі шотландськими загонами Джеймс Дуглас і Томас Рендольф вибили англійські гарнізони з Роксборо та Единбурга. Навесні 1314 року армія короля Роберта I взяла в облогу замок Стерлінґ — найважливіший стратегічний пункт у західній Шотландії. Англійський губернатор Стерлінґа Філіп Мобрей погодився здати замок шотландцям, якщо облога не буде знята до 24 червня 1314 року. Король Англії Едуард II негайно почав підготовку до нового вторгнення в Шотландію. Однак, в умовах конфлікту з англійськими магнатами, йому не вдалося привернути до походу значні військові з'єднання лордів-ордайнерів. Тим не менш, 25-тисячна англійська армія під командуванням короля Едуарда II вступила в Шотландію і безперешкодно рушила до Стерлінґа.

Позиції сторін. Склад військ
23 червня англійські війська досягли річки Беннокберн у декількох кілометрах на південь від Стерлінґа. Шотландська армія під проводом короля Роберта I розташувалася на лісистих пагорбах, що оточують дорогу. За чисельністю війська шотландців (за різними оцінками — від 5 до 10 тисяч чоловік) сильно поступалися англійській армії, але були вигідно розташовані й очолювалися досвідченими полководцями: королем Робертом I, Едуардом Брюсом, Джеймсом Дугласом і Томасом Рэндольфом.

Військо шотландського короля, так само як і армія його попередника Вільяма Воллеса, складалося головним чином з піхотинців, озброєних списами, і була поділена на три великих загони. Авангардом командував Томас Рендольф. Сам король мав загін із 500 вершників. Армія була зібрана зі всієї Шотландії: у її складі були і лицарі, і городяни, і торговці — всі, хто був здатен придбати зброю та обладунки. У шотландській армії перебували загони лучників (близько 500 осіб) та важких кавалеристів (багато з них змушені були спішитися під час битви).

Хід битви

Герць
Битва почалася несподіваним зіткненням короля Роберта Брюса з англійським загоном Генрі де Бохуна, племінника графа Херефорда. Генрі де Бохун, що йшов на чолі свого загону, раптово побачив шотландського короля, що рухався на чолі своїх військ. Бохун, виставивши вперед списа, негайно кинувся в атаку на іменитого суперника. Король же був верхи на невеликому скаковому коні і був озброєний лише бойовою сокирою. Коли барон, що стрімко мчав, був уже в кількох футах від короля, останній різко розвернув коня і, вставши на стременах, завдав нищівного удару сокирою, пробивши шолом і порубавши голову лицаря. Бохун упав мертвим. Перемога короля в герці з англійським бароном стала сигналом до загальної атаки шотландських військ. Цей поєдинок став однією з найславніших сторінок шотландської історії.

Перший день битви

Упродовж першого дня бій продовжувався з явною перевагою шотландців. Горбиста місцевість і помилки командування не дозволили англійцям активно використовувати кавалерію і лучників. Лицарі англійського авангарду були змушені відступати під натиском шотландських військ. Тим часом інший англійський кавалерійський загін під командуванням Роберта де Кліффорда і Генрі де Бомону, обійшовши позиції шотландців, попрямував до Стерлінґа. Розгадавши маневр англійців, Роберт I Брюс послав шилтрон Томаса Рендольфа навперейми наступального загону. Англійські лицарі, позбавлені підтримки лучників, були нездатні протистояти шотландським списникам, об'єднаним у міцні й мобільні будови-шилтрони. Англійський загін дістав відсіч і був розбитий.

Другий день битви

Тим часом англійські війська продовжували наступ на Стерлінґ. Шотландський король умілими маневрами перерізав усі прямі шляхи на місто, проте Едуард II обрав найбільш невдалий і небезпечний маршрут, що пролягав через містечко Беннокберн. Увечері англійський король віддав наказ про передислокацію військ на рівнину між річками Беннокберн і Форт. Як наслідок, англійці виявилися на вкрай обмеженій та заболоченій ділянці. Незабаром після настання світанку наступного дня вранці шотландські списники, об'єднані в три баталії, почали наступ на англійські позиції. Едуард був сильно здивований появою з лісу шотландської армії. Тим часом воїни Роберта I Брюса, наблизившись до англійських позицій, опустилися на коліна для молитви. Здивований англійський король, за переказами, сказав, що вони просять про милосердя, проте один з його наближених натякнув, що шотландці просять милості у Бога, але ніяк не в англійського короля.

Авангард англійських військ, очолюваний нетерплячим графом Глостером, кинувся на шотландські війська. В лісі шотландських пік свою смерть знайшов сам Глостер і багато хто з його лицарів. Величезний розмір англійської армії зіграв у розпочатій битві фатальну роль: англійцям було потрібно занадто багато часу, щоб перешикувати свої ряди і приготувати війська до бою. Тим часом за наказом Роберта I Брюса шотландська армія всією своєю масою кинулася на дезорганізоване англійське військо. Спроби організувати опір провалилися, англійці виявилися блоковані біля річки і збилися в тісний неорганізований натовп, в якому лучники не мали можливості проявити свої бойові якості. Багато лицарів кинулися навтьоки. Розгром довершив загін короля Роберта I, посилений ґельськими частинами із західної Шотландії.

Король Едуард II ледве уникнув полону і втік до Данбара зі своїм особистим охоронцем, чим сприяв остаточному розвалові ладу й дисципліни в армії, відступ якої незабаром перейшов у панічну втечу. Відчайдушно намагаючись врятуватися, залишки англійських військ втекли до англо-шотландської межі, що розташовувалася в 9 милях на південь від місця побоїща. Багато англійців були вбиті шотландцями, що їх переслідували або місцевими жителями. Єдиним загоном, який зумів в організованому порядку і без зайвих втрат дістатися до безпечного місця, був загін валлійських списоносців. У битві загинуло більш як 10 тисяч англійських солдатів. Втрати шотландців були порівняно легкими.

Значення битви при Беннокберні

Попри те, що поразка при Беннокберні не змусила Англію визнати незалежність Шотландії і військові дії тривали ще понад десять років (з перервами), цей бій став вирішальним у боротьбі за визволення Шотландії.

Після Беннокберна Роберт I Брюс перейшов у контрнаступ і переніс весь тягар військових операцій на території Англії та Ірландії. Шотландія була звільнена, почалося відновлення країни. Перемога при Беннокберні стала символом шотландського єднання і боротьби за незалежність, зробивши сильний вплив на формування шотландської нації.

Водночас крах планів щодо встановлення англійського панування в Шотландії сприяв серйозній внутрішньополітичній кризі в Англії, який завершився поваленням Едуарда II в 1327 році, а 1 березня 1328 року був укладений Нортгемптонський мир, внаслідок якого була визнана незалежність Шотландії.

As we predicted earlier, more protests have been filed over the on-ramp awards for the Army's $37.4 billion Responsive Strategic Sourcing for Services contract.
The Army has made 253 total awards so far out of 388 bids for this professional services contract known as RS3. Round one of awards went to 55 companies and the on-ramp saw 198 selected. Both large and small business contractors have won awards.
Last week, we reported that four companies -- 22nd Century Technologies, Modern Technology Solutions, Tele-Consultants and VT Services -- had filed protests.
Technology Service filed on Nov. 2 and a GAO decision is expected Feb. 11. The others filed on Nov. 5 with decisions expected by Feb. 13.
The first group of protests will likely fall on either Feb. 4 or Feb. 6. There also is a possibility that GAO will bundle the protests into a single decision, if the complaints are similar enough.
RS3 is the bundling of several expiring large IDIQ contracts including Rapid Response 3rd Generation, known as R2-3G, and Strategic Services Sourcing, or S3.
The Army has said both a second and third on-ramp will be awarded later on.

Something very encouraging and funny happened to me this morning. The Lord spoke a very familiar verse to me that He has used many times during my time of suffering. When I was first starting the blog earlier this year in August, I wrote a post about how He has used this verse in my life titled "Boomerang Blessing!" The verse is Jeremiah 29:11 and the Lord just keeps using it to remind me that I am under His care and protection and that is very encouraging!
So, this morning I was looking through my Twitter notifications and I saw a new person had followed me. This person is a Christian and wouldn't you know it, the verse they chose to put along with the title of their account is Jeremiah 29:11 written out just like I have it in the Scripture pin above! I just started laughing and praising God! He wanted to make sure I knew that He is still with me and He has a plan! Thank you Lord for continuing to use that verse in my life! Amen!
When I saw that verse this morning, I immediately thought of the post "Boomerang Blessing!" because that is exactly what just happened to me again this morning. I was hurting bad yesterday and I was not exactly thinking about Jeremiah 29:11, then this morning that same boomerang blessing comes flying into my heart to lift me up! God is awesome how He encourages our hearts!
Thank you to all of you for praying for me and thank you for reaching out yesterday! I appreciate how you received my difficult post with grace and understanding. The Lord is speaking many things to my heart. A great sister in Christ I met here on WordPress when I first started the blog contacted me yesterday and she let me know that God impressed upon her to tell me that He is not angry with me. It brought me to tears and the Lord moved in my heart in a new way that I am praying over and learning to rest in. Thank you for listening to the Lord sister! Thank you all for obeying the Lord! I praise God for every word of encouragement and edification I received yesterday. May His will be done!
May we never forget (that includes me) that God has an awesome plan for us and we can trust Him no matter what–even when we don't understand! God showed me last night before I went to bed that my questions do not bother or anger Him and they are not too difficult for Him. He is glad I give Him my heart. I am looking forward to seeing how God blesses and delivers us and I am looking forward to telling you all about it! Let us never forget that He loves us and He will never leave us nor forsake us!
Your a blessing to many Ryan!
Thanks brother! You too! I enjoyed your post today–perfect timing for me! I needed to hear it! God bless!
So glad you are feeling better today!!!!
Thanks Valerie! God is good and faithful!
Amen! So good to hear. Bless you, Ryan.
Thanks Dee! God bless you too!
Ryan, God is so pleased with you that it makes His heart swell with love whenever He looks at you (and His eye is ALWAYS on you!). I'm so glad you were encouraged by everyone's prayers yesterday. Jeremiah 29:11 is a powerful promise for us to cling to during hard or uncertain times. He's definitely got you! Blessings!
Thank you! I appreciate you reaching out yesterday! I am starting to understand more that He is not angry with me. God bless!!!
God finds ways to bless us. Thank you for sharing because this reminds me of the little cracks He squeezes through with His Spirit to show me He is with me. This is a perfect example of it. Bless you, brother.

Q: Surface integral of an infinitesimal volume = 0? Cracking open the texts for the first time in a while, I'm prepping for school with a review of vector calc.  Question 1 asks to derive the expressions for divergence for cartesian, cylindrical and spherical coordinates, based on the equation
$$\nabla\cdot\vec{f} = \lim_{\Delta V \rightarrow 0} \frac{1}{\Delta V} \left[ \iint \vec{f}\cdot d\vec{s}  \right]$$
(Also refreshing myself on latex, \ooint seems to not be a thing in SE?)
So for a given point $P$, and the vector $\vec{f}(P)$ at that specific point, I calculate the dot product between that vector and the outward facing surface area over the infinitesimal volume surrounding $P$.
The problem is, if I'm looking at both sides of that little $dV$, wrt each axis, the products should cancel out exactly.  So for the surfaces normal to the x-axis, we get
$$f_x(P)\hat{i} \cdot dydz\hat{i} + f_x(P)\hat{i} \cdot dydz \left(\hat{-i}\right) = 0$$
I figure the most likely issues are that I either have something like a sign error, or that integrating $\vec{f}\cdot d\vec{s}$ should yield zero, and I'm not doing the calculus that I should be doing.  I think it isn't the former, because $\vec{f}(P)$ should be the same regardless of which side you're taking the product with.  Is it the latter?

A: Your problem is that you are treating $\vec f$ as constant over this volume, and the divergence of a constant vector field is $0$.
If the vector field is treated as the velocity of some flow, then the divergence at a point is the rate at which the flow comes out of the point (negative when the flow is into the point). If a "fluid" is emerging from a point, then you would expect that on opposite sides of a small volume around the point that the flow would be in opposite directions on opposite sides. This doesn't have to violate continuity, as the vector field of this outward flow can be $0$ at the point itself. And if you add in a large locally constant flow past the point, the full vector field is not required to be $0$, either. But the divergence of the constant flow is $0$, so the divergence only picks up the contribution of the emerging fluid.
So instead of treating $\vec f$ as the same everywhere, break it up into its even and odd components about $P$: $$\vec f_e(\vec v) = \frac 12(\vec f(P+\vec v)) + \vec f(P -\vec v)\\\vec f_o(\vec v) = \frac 12(\vec f(P+\vec v) - \vec f(P -\vec v))$$
While $\vec f(Q) = \vec f_e(Q - P) + \vec f_o(Q - P)$, you will find that the integration for $\vec f_e$ is indeed $0$, but for $\vec f_o$, the vector field has opposite signs in each direction, so it does not cancel out.

Peter loses some weight, loses some muscle
A man who lost 50 kilograms has gained about three kilos after losing weight in an attempt to lose weight in a way that will keep him healthy.
Tom Lopes has been following a diet that has seen him shed more than 10 kilograms.
Tom's story has become a YouTube hit after he posted a video of himself losing weight on his Instagram account and received thousands of views.
Tom was diagnosed with anorexia in 2009 and since then, he has lost more than 20 kilograms, mostly on his stomach and waist.
Tom lost 20kg in 10 months and his diet plan helped him shed that amount of weight in the space of two years, he told News Corp.
Tom says the diet has helped him maintain a healthy lifestyle, but it has also brought him into contact with the public.
He said he felt "less alone" because his diet was popular, and that it has helped people to accept him.
Tom said he decided to start a diet after hearing about the benefits of a low-calorie diet, such as low-fat and low-sugar diets.
"I was seeing that it wasn't only people who were going through this sort of thing, it was people who had gone through it themselves, who were living on the streets, people who weren't well enough to walk," he said.
"So it's really an issue that people really need to get involved with."
Tom said while it was hard to lose the weight on the diet, he felt happier and healthier when he was on it.
Tom believes his diet and dieting helped him gain weight and help him maintain his weight, and said it has allowed him to be healthier in the long run.
Tom is the latest celebrity to take up the dieting movement and he is hoping his story can help other people with eating disorders.

Donald Trump takes fresh shot at Federal Reserve, picks fierce critic for its board

John Fritze, Paul Davidson and Michael Collins, USA TODAY Published 2:21 p.m. ET March 22, 2019 | Updated 4:41 p.m. ET March 22, 2019
Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell says the U.S. economy should keep expanding at a solid, though somewhat slower pace this year. However, he warns of growing risks. (Feb. 26)
WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump fired his latest shot at the Federal Reserve on Friday, naming a TV commentator, Reagan-era economist and fierce central bank critic to one of the most important jobs dealing with the U.S. economy.
By choosing Stephen Moore for a position on the seven-member Federal Reserve board, Trump has underscored his long-standing dissatisfaction with the Fed, which he accuses of bungling the U.S. economy and acting like a "golfer who can't score."
The Fed, an independent board whose members are appointed by the president, raises interest rates to cool down a hot economy and cuts them to stimulate a sluggish one. The rates affect how much it costs to use a credit card, sign a car loan or buy a home.
Moore, an early Trump supporter who argued the president deserves a Nobel Prize in Economics, embraced Trump's tough rhetoric on the Fed. Trump's criticism was central to his economic message long before he ran for president, and he has continued those attacks on the central bank from the White House – particularly when markets slow.
"The only problem our economy has is the Fed," Trump tweeted on Christmas Eve. "They don't have a feel for the Market, they don't understand necessary Trade Wars or Strong Dollars or even Democrat Shutdowns over Borders. The Fed is like a powerful golfer who can't score because he has no touch - he can't putt!"
The only problem our economy has is the Fed. They don't have a feel for the Market, they don't understand necessary Trade Wars or Strong Dollars or even Democrat Shutdowns over Borders. The Fed is like a powerful golfer who can't score because he has no touch - he can't putt!
Those remarks, which came amid reports that he might fire Fed chief Jerome Powell, followed a Wall Street sell-off. The Dow Jones Industrial Average had fallen nearly 3 percent on a trading day that was shortened by the Christmas holiday. The markets later rebounded and Trump backed off his threats to shake up the board.
For anyone following Trump's career as a New York real estate magnate, the remarks were little surprise.
"The Fed continues to flood the market with US dollars," Trump tweeted in 2011, as the nation was still just beginning its recovery from the recession. "Wrong move."
The Fed continues to flood the market with US dollars. Wrong move.
Trump had also reportedly considered former pizza company executive and 2012 GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain for the Federal Reserve.
Like Trump, Moore is a colorful figure with strong opinions about how the economy should be managed that often fly in the face of more traditional views. He argued in a column last year that Trump's decision to ease Obama-era restrictions on vehicle emissions would make drivers safer because gas guzzlers tend to be larger.
The Fed continues to recklessly flood the market with dollars. This will eventually create record inflation. It has to stop. #TimeToGetTough
When Trump faced criticism before his inauguration for calling Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen – a move that Chinese leaders viewed as a provocation – Moore used salty language to support the move.
"That is a country that we have backed because they believe in freedom," Moore told a radio station, according to CNN. "We oughta back our ally, and if China doesn't like it, screw 'em."
If confirmed by the Senate, Moore would fill one of two vacant seats on the seven-member board. Moore had been a CNN contributor since 2017, but the network terminated that arrangement upon the news of his nomination Friday, CNN's chief media correspondent, Brian Stetler, said on Twitter.
In December, the Fed said it had penciled in two rate hikes this year following four increases in 2018 as part of a campaign to bring rates back to more normal levels as the economy has improved since the Great Recession.
Fed officials defend the need to raise interest rates at times to prevent the economy from overheating. They point to economic instability that has occurred when credit is too cheap, such as the era of double-digit inflation in the late 1970s or the housing bubble in the mid-2000s that helped spawn the Great Recession.
Unemployment is near a 50-year low.
The Fed's pumping is great news in the short term but it can't last forever. Be prudent in your market investing.
But amid a slowing global economy, the U.S. trade war with China and the fading effects of federal tax cuts and spending increases, markets sold off late last year on the aggressive rate-hike plans, hurting consumer and business confidence. As a result, the Fed abruptly reversed course. This week, the central bank said it plans no rate increases this year and just one in 2020, depending on the course the economy takes.
Here's are five things to know about Moore:
It is my pleasure to announce that @StephenMoore, a very respected Economist, will be nominated to serve on the Fed Board. I have known Steve for a long time – and have no doubt he will be an outstanding choice!
Fierce Fed critic
Moore argued during the Obama administration that the Fed sought to keep interest rates too low. More recently he has touted Trump's position that raising the rates have slowed economic growth. In a Wall Street Journal column published last week, Moore wrote that the Fed's "goal should be to avoid excessively loose or tight money by seeking stable commodity prices."
In December, Moore called the central bank a "swamp" and said Trump should consider firing Powell because, in Moore's view, the Fed chairman is "wrecking the economy."

Founded Club for Growth
Moore, a longtime advocate for a flat tax, created the conservative group Club for Growth in 1999. The group helps elect conservative members of Congress and has supported lawmakers such as Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla. Moore left the group in 2004 and went to work for the Wall Street Journal as a senior economics writer for its editorial board.
Trump's tax plan
Working with Larry Kudlow, director of the White House National Economic Council, Moore was an architect of the tax overhaul Congress approved at the end of 2017. Trump often touts the measure as a top legislative achievement as he speaks to supporters on the campaign trail. The law significantly increased the standard deduction, which has made it more advantageous for many Americans to skip itemizing deductions.
Taxes vs. debt
Moore co-authored a 2018 book "Trumponomics" alongside Arthur Laffer, another conservative economist who was a member of President Ronald Reagan's Economic Policy Advisory Board. Laffer became known as the "father of supply-side economics," for pressing the idea that lowering federal taxes would spur economic growth.
Government agencies 'irrelevant'
After the historic, 35-day government shutdown ended in January, Moore said the episode demonstrated how the U.S. could get along just fine without much of the federal government. In a National Review column titled "the Real Lesson of the Shutdown," Moore wrote that "the partial shutdown, with agencies such as the Transportation, Agriculture, and State Departments, as well as other independent agencies, closed for business, demonstrated how irrelevant so much of our $4 trillion government is to the everyday lives of Americans."

EB-5 Minimum Investment Amount Has Increased to $900,000
As expected, the Department of Homeland Security this morning published a new EB-5 regulation known as a "final rule." (Click here to see the regulation.) While we are still reviewing the contents, here are some key changes:
1. Increasing investment amounts – $900,000 for Targeted Employment Area (TEA) / $1.8MM for non-TEA:
The final rule keeps the 50% minimum investment differential between a TEA and a non-TEA and provides that the minimum investment amounts will automatically adjust for inflation every five years.
2. Revising the standards for certain TEA designations:
The final rule addresses gerrymandering — deliberately manipulating the boundaries of an electoral constituency to link a prosperous project location to a distressed community to obtain the qualifying average unemployment rate.
3. Clarifying USCIS procedures for removing conditions on permanent residence:
The final rule makes clear that certain family members who are lawful permanent residents must independently file to remove conditions on their permanent residence. The requirement would not apply to those family members who were included in a principal investor's petition to remove conditions.
4. Allowing EB-5 petitioners to keep their priority date:
The final rule offers greater flexibility to immigrant investors who have a previously approved EB-5 immigrant petition. When they need to file a new EB-5 petition they now will be able to retain the priority date of the previously approved petition, subject to certain expectations.
This new rule will go into effect November 21, 2019. You have approximately 120 days to get in at the $500,000 level. This will be the new standard for the EB-5 program going forward barring legislative action. Based on our conversations with our advocates and allies in Washington, D.C., we expected this to become regulatory policy and prepared ourselves for such. For prospective investors weighing an EB-5 investment under current rules, you have a limited window in which to act.
Please don't hesitate to reach out to us if you need further clarification on how this might affect you.

Obra-prima da banda com clássicos grandiosos e uma aproximação com o progressivo.
An absolute essential to any rock and roll collection.
Simply the greatest album ever. Baba O'Riley, Won't Get Fooled Again, Behind Blue Eyes, even Bargain are absolutely fantastic.
Great album. "Behind blue eyes" does still sound very modern and is a great track. "Baba O'Riley" and "Bargain" are top tracks.
The middle is so dull that hurts, but this album does have "Behind Blue Eyes", "Baba O' Riley" and "Won't Get Fooled Again". I admit that once I liked this album way more.
Great album. "Won't Get Fooled Again" and "Bargain" and "Behind Blue Eyes" and "Baba O'Riley" are absolute masterclasses.


A great way to keep an eye on your employees driving habits is to put a live vehicle GPS tracker in there. I remember when I was out of the military and 21, I was broke, and enjoyed painting and art.
I worked for a printer, and after deliveries, I typically had a couple large wooden boards used to put on a pallet of printed material and banded down. The wood would prevent the bands from damaging the magazines, and it made a great canvas for my works.
So I would stop by my apartment to unload them, then head back to the print shop. However, it would add time to my trip, and the boss started to notice it took me longer to deliver than previous drivers. Busted!
With a simple live GPS tracker like the LandAirSea SilverCloud Sync Fleet tracker, all you have to do is plug it into the vehicles OBD or onboard diagnostic port, and it will power the tracker, and you can log into a website, or use a smart pad/phone device to see the exact location of the vehicle.
The tracker can then be set up to notify you when it goes into or out of a GeoFence area. This is easy to set up, you just draw a circle on a map of what you want to be notified when a vehicle goes into, or out of the GeoFence.
It will also notify you when the vehicle is speeding over a limit you set, as well as gas levels, battery life, excessive idling or revving the engine. If you have multiple vehicles, you can watch them all in real time.
The neatest part is they give you a snippet of code that you can embed in any blog or web page, and anyone you want can see where the vehicle is. This is a great way for food trucks, delivery trucks, or repair trucks to let their customers know where the vehicle is at any one time. You can post it on your company website and send an email to your client to check where the vehicle is that day.
A live GPS tracker does require a monthly fee, and the air time starts @ $29.95 for 1 minute updates. You can update quicker, though unless you want constant updates, you can save $ by going with the 1 minute updates.
And just for you, we will waive the activation fee of $29.95! If you don't want to pay any monthly fees, something like the LandAirSea H4100 GPS Tracking Key GPS Logger allows you to stick a GPS Logger to the vehicle for up to 3 weeks, and take it off and upload to your computer when you need to see whats going on.

It is about 8 in the evening, after supper. In a residence community or in the less crowded streets in Xi'an, there are usually people walking leisurely with their dogs, big or small. Some of them meet frequently so their pets become buddies as well. These dog lovers talk about the funny things their dogs did and exchange information about raising them. Once in a while, something unpleasant occurs—a dog fight. So, either owner will have to take his baby away and keep walking.
The above is a common scene of night life in the city. With a rising living standard and a greater yearning for companion, the number of dog owners hikes. Just like any other place in the world, people regard their dearest doggies as friend, child, lover or everything. The interesting part is that in Xi'an most dog owners are either senior or young people in their 20s. The middle-aged are rare, possibly because they are busy striving for a better life.
For the elderly their pets are the perfect substitutes for their grown-up children since some of their homes are empty nests. Small-sized dogs, like Pekingese or Pomeranians, are favored especially by them. In the dusk of the evening, an old lady steps mincingly along the city wall, with her cute little pal following around, which is repeated every day.
For the dog lovers among the younger generation, things may look different. Not like their elders, most of them prefer medium-sized and big-sized dogs. Golden retrievers, Labradors, Huskies, Samoyeds and Collies are largely seen with smartly-dressed chicks or guys who believe their dogs could make them stand out in the crowd. The Internet brings young people together for activities organized for their dogs.
A weekend spent in the countryside or in a mountain is most joyous and refreshing for both owners and dogs. A group of dog lovers helping stray dogs is often heard of. The most visited websites by them are www.aigou.com and www.goumin.com. There are web pages and programs made for Xi'an on them.
For dog owners in their 20s or early 30s, the life of their pets may not be the same for good, for the ownership is susceptible to a few changes. A young person may move elsewhere or get married. What if the new job cannot bring his dog a sweet home and what if the other half dislikes animals? And it is still generally believed in China that pregnant women cannot live with dogs. Some newlyweds are talked into giving up their pets if having a baby is the next plan. So when the time comes to say goodbye, it costs a person and his dog more than tears.
Besides these dog lovers, there do exist those who don't do justice to canine. They are overly protective and believe all dogs are ready to bite. It's a shame. They are not ignorant, but keeping their hearts shut. Considering the magnitude of these people, dogs' life in Xi'an has its limitations. By far, there is no dog park in the city. Dogs are not allowed in all public places except the streets which only registered dogs can go to. Some residence communities strictly forbid dog keeping.
The charge for registering a dog in Restricting Dog Keeping Office is 600RMB and additional 100 yuan for vaccination every year, very expensive compared to the average income of Xi'an citizens. There are pet stores or hospitals in many streets. However, either the price there is unreasonable or the service is less qualified. Purchasing on line (www. taobao.com) might be a good choice.
As the viewpoint of animal welfare is being accepted by more people, dogs' life in Xi'an will surly improve. And there will soon be a time when every dog has its day.
Yes, I'm in Yang Ling South of Xian and I need to find a VET that can micro and vaccinate my dog officially so he can go home with me this summer. Please,if anyone knows a good official VET in Xian please, please, forward their address, email, and phone number.
Interesting article as well, thanks!

The answers hinge on whether yours is an unauthorized corporation. They determine whether you may or may not sustain your New York debt collection litigation. An unauthorized corporation is a corporation not authorized with NY state to be "doing business" in New York state.
Take the example of a company incorporated in a state other than New York. That company's New York customer is not paying them. To enforce their rights to payment, the company pursues debt collection litigation in New York.
As part of the complaint, the creditor includes their corporate status. The corporate status clearly shows that the New York Department of State has not authorized the vendor.
With this in mind, an eager debtor's attorney will notice that the creditor has no authorization to do business in NYS. That attorney may believe that provides an opportunity to thwart attempts to get their client to repay. Based on the unauthorized standing of the creditor, the debtor's attorney would make a motion to dismiss the case. The theory being that the unauthorized – by New York state – creditor company lacks standing to sue his client in New York debt collection litigation.
A motion to dismiss the complaint for lack of standing faces the creditor. Why? Because the company is operating in New York as an unauthorized corporation. That may mean the company has no standing to sue. And successful New York debt collection and standing to sue go hand in hand.
Unfortunately, the focus is not on the nonpaying customer. The debtor's attorney turned the tables on the creditor. He raised an issue to the court that the creditor has no standing. That means to that attorney that the creditor should not win the debt collection litigation. And that's because they are an unauthorized corporation without standing to sue.
Is all lost? Maybe not, because of what the eager-beaver attorney doesn't know. In reality, an unauthorized foreign corporation selling to a New York resident and suing in New York does not have to mean the court must dismiss the case.
The debtor's attorney must do more than raise the issue in motion papers. He must meet the burden of proof to support the allegation that the creditor is doing business in New York State as an unauthorized corporation.
The debtor must prove that the creditor is systematically conducting business in New York. That means that the unauthorized creditor solicits business in New York, which is a problem. Having someone from New York decide to buy from the creditor is not problematic. It's all right for the creditor to sell and deliver merchandise into the state.
In a nutshell, N.Y. BCL (Business Corporation Law) Section 1312 provides that if a decision issues that a company is doing business in New York, they must have authority from the state to do so.
The court defines "doing business" on a case-by-case basis.
For a court to find that a corporation is doing business in New York within the meaning of Business Corporation Law§ 1312 (a), the corporation must be engaged in a regular and continuous course of conduct in the state. The doing-business standard under BCL § 1312 (a) requires a greater amount of local activity by a foreign corporation than the doing-business standard applied to New York's Long Arm Statute.
The debtor bears the burden of proving that the corporation's business activities in New York were not just casual or occasional, but so systematic and regular as to manifest continuity of activity in the jurisdiction.
Consequently, the debtor must show that the creditor conducted continuous activities in New York essential to its corporate business (Id. at 374). Absent sufficient evidence to establish that a creditor is doing business in this state, the presumption is that the creditor is doing business in its state of incorporation and not in New York.
Is the Creditor Doing Business in New York?
Even as it sells to New York customers, the creditor therefore and thereby is not doing business in New York. The mere solicitation of sales in New York and the placement of orders does not constitute doing business in this state within the meaning of Business Corporation Law even when coupled with other activities.
When the foreign corporation's contacts, no matter how extensive, are merely for the purpose of soliciting business and incidental to the sale and delivery of merchandise into the state, the foreign corporation is engaged in interstate commerce and is constitutionally beyond the reach of Business Corporation Law§ 1312 (a).
If the unauthorized corporation merely engaged in interstate commerce and was not doing business, the debtor will lose. The debtor will have to pay.
If you are an out-of-state company authorized or not authorized to do business in New York and want to receive payment from your New York customer, contact us by phone at (212) 686-0100 or by email.

We want the NDIS that was promised!
The Dignity Party fought long and hard for the NDIS, and for many it has made a welcome difference - but there are serious flaws in the way the scheme has been delivered and many are suffering.
• Assessment processes that are complex, non-transparent, stressful and wasteful. They remove power from people with disabilities and their families.
• People are caught between the NDIS, health and education with Government Departments pointing the finger of responsibility at each other.
• While the NDIA bumble through lengthy review processes, people lie in their own waste waiting for care, go without critical equipment and are put at risk.
• The Centrelink-style delivery of the scheme does not match the philosophy of the NDIS - the last thing people need is more Centrelink!
• There have been awkward goal post changes on who is/is not eligible for the NDIS exposing political and bureaucratic ignorance on the topic of disability. Australians need confidence in our systems.
These are more than just 'teething problems'. We don't want apologies after people have died – we want the NDIS that was promised and your leadership to achieve this!
Dr B-J Price Dignity Party, Authorised by Mr Rick Neagle, President of Dignity Party, in collaboration with COPCAN - Coalition of Parents - Children Affected by the NDIS.
Please share my name and email address with Dignity Party Inc., so that I can receive updates on this campaign and others.

Hijackers trained at U.S. flight schools
by Mark Phelps
- October 8, 2007, 10:32 AM
No one believed for a moment that any hijacked airline pilot would fly a fuel-laden Boeing into the World Trade Center or the Pentagon, even with a gun to his or her head. So it was assumed from the beginning that hijackers had to fly them, and the hijackers had to be trained pilots. As evidence was uncovered, it became sickeningly apparent that these suicide pilots were not trained to fly in some remote terrorist enclave, but rather in the U.S. While experts disagree on how much training would be required to fulfill the suicide missions, it seems clear the suspected hijackers had trained at least to the commercial multi-engine level. Two of the hijack pilots reportedly obtained some instruction in a Boeing 727 simulator at SimCenter in Opa-Locka, Fla.
The FBI has reported that there were a total of 19 hijackers on all four airliners. Seven were listed as pilots. On American Airlines Flight 11 out of Boston, the first to crash into the World Trade Center, five hijackers were alleged to be among the 81 passengers. Four of those five were listed by the FBI as pilots, though the level of their training and experience remained unclear at press time. Mohammed Atta, 33, is believed to have been at the controls.
On United Airlines Flight 175, the airplane that crashed into the South Tower of the World Trade Center, there were also five hijackers. Only one, Marwan al Shehhi, was listed as a pilot. Along with Atta, he is reported to have taken flying lessons at Huffman Aviation in Venice, Fla. On American Flight 77, which crashed into the Pentagon, Hani Hanjour was the sole pilot among five hijackers on board.
Finally, Ziad Jarrahi was the lone pilot among four hijackers on United Flight 93. Jarrahi was the only unsuccessful suicide pilot among the seven. His aircraft, possibly headed for the White House or the Capitol, crashed in rural western Pennsylvania, likely the result of action taken by passengers to thwart the hijackers once cellphone conversations spread the word that other hijacked aircraft had been used as weapons. At press time, government officials were considering honoring those passengers with the highest decoration available for non-military heroes, the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Besides Huffman, other flying schools have been identified as places where the hijack pilots received training. FlightSafety Academy in Vero Beach, Fla., trained Abdul Alomari, who lived with his wife and four children in a rented house in Vero Beach. Alomari's family returned to Saudi Arabia a few weeks before the attacks. Two neighbors also wore the white shirts and epaulets of FlightSafety Academy. At press time, Amer Kamfar was still at large and considered possibly armed and dangerous. Adnar Bukhari, another Saudi student, has been detained and is said to be cooperating in the investigation.
Huffman Aviation proprietor Rudi Dekkers remembered Mohammed Atta and Marwan al Shehhi as walk-in students who paid for their flying by check–about $10,000 each between July and November last year. Though it's unclear how much experience the two men had when they left Huffman, a small flight school on Florida's west coast, Dekkers told investigators he believed they went from there to someplace else where they could train on more advanced aircraft. These are the two pilots who received six hours of 727 simulator time, each, at SimCenter.
Atta and al Shehhi were identified by a bartender and waitress as being at a Hollywood, Fla. seafood restaurant on the night of September 10. According to a report, they were joined by a third unknown man and talked throughout the night.
Atta was observed to be "really upset," according to the restaurant manager.
Another of the hijack pilots reportedly graduated from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Fla., in 1997. ERAU and FlightSafety have both said they rely on foreign students' visa status to ensure they are not training potential terrorists. So far, no evidence of any visa irregularities has appeared regarding the hijack pilots. Visas for foreign students are issued by the U.S. State Department.
Two of the 19 hijackers are said to have been on the FBI wanted list, though neither of those men was listed among the hijack pilots of the suicide airliners. They apparently played non-flying roles in the hijackings.
What do these developments mean for flight-training providers in the future? Though none of the schools that trained the hijack pilots did anything wrong, industry observers are confident there will be additional restrictions and responsibilities placed on flight schools and the FAA to guard against a repeat of the September 11 attacks. Some have suggested background checks for anyone applying for any form of pilot training. Retroactive checks for current license holders could also be in the offing.
In Minnesota, a man was detained because, weeks before the potential attacks, he approached a simulator training provider asking to learn how to fly an airliner, "but only to steer." According to a Los Angeles Times story, the man cheered in his jail cell when he saw TV reports of the attack. Training providers who have airline-level simulators have faced no restrictions on whom they let in their facilities. In some cases, wealthy pilots and non-pilots alike have signed up for simulator training sessions for entertainment. One airline even held a passenger promotion with a "be a pilot for a day" prize, in which the winner would be flown to the airline's training facility for a session in a training simulator. And some queasy fliers have combated their fear of flying by ponying up the cash for a simulator session to better understand what goes on in the cockpit while they are strapped in the cabin.
In the days following last month's suicide attacks, flight schools large and small around the country struggled financially with being grounded–ironically during some of the best flying weather of the year. In addition, law enforcement made itself known. At Somerset Air Service in Somerville, N.J., a pair of state police detectives spent September 16 poring over receipts dating back to October 1999. On the counter was a New York Class B airspace chart with the New York 25-nm temporary flight restriction buffer marked off in heavy black ink. Frustrated instructors bemoaned the lack of flying on a CAVU Sunday as a doe and two fawns grazed unconcerned on the grass runway that would normally be crisscrossed by gliders and towplanes.
Overhead, hawks and turkey vultures enjoyed the crispy fall thermals as pilots and students could only watch enviously from the ground.
