Lista ambasadorów Elektoratu Saksonii i Królestwa Saksonii według krajów, w których pełnili misje dyplomatyczną.

Saska dyplomacja nowożytna była bardzo zaawansowana. W XVIII wieku Saksonia przeszła na system stałych przedstawicielstw dyplomatycznych. Przykładowo w 1722 roku było 14 placówek dyplomatycznych saskich. W 1723 Tajny Gabinet zorganizował 20 dodatkowych; min. w Hiszpanii i różnych krajach włoskich i niemieckich. W 1726 roku August II Mocny (Elektor Fryderyk August I) miał: w Paryżu ambasadora nadzwyczajnego, w Wiedniu i Rzymie – ministrów pełnomocnych, w Petersburgu, Berlinie, Londynie i Hadze – posłów nadzwyczajnych, ministrów w Monachium, Trewirze, Kassel, Gotha i Moguncji, oraz na łączonej placówce we Florencji/Parmie. Ważny był przedstawiciel w Wenecji, o nieokreślonej randze, podobnie jak reprezentant saski na sejmy Rzeszy (Ratyzbona). Rezydenci przebywali w Rzymie, Frankfurcie, Minden, Amsterdamie i Sztokholmie. Agenci w Hamburgu, Gdańsku, Wrocławiu i Pradze, a korespondenci w Turynie, Messynie i Madrycie. W Stambule był nieformalny konsul na służbie polsko-saskiej.

Except that it looks and sounds suspiciously like the new video for Watershed's "Manifesto," directed by the great Milan Karcic. By the way, the line "I take coffee like my women. Both full of alcohol" was stolen from our buddy Dave Cook. We owe him smokes and AC/DC tickets.

Mixed spring continues
To say this spring has been a mixed bag is a bit of an understatement with the balmy summer like conditions that spread across much of the country last week adding yet more variety. Temperatures soared well above average as a pulse of warm air, originating from North Africa, pushed up from the south. As would be expected this opened the door for several of our summer migrants to finally reach Britain and Ireland in good numbers.
Nightingale by John Spaull
Many areas recorded their first Nightingales, Cuckoos, Common Terns, and Lesser Whitethroats for the year as clear nights and a tail wind provided the push they needed to continue northwards. Indeed, Lesser Whitethroat arrived in such force that they were recorded way above their historical average, as the BirdTrack graph shows.
Lesser Whitethroat BirdTrack reporting rate
The better weather also meant two of the BTO satellite tracked Cuckoos made it back, with Selborne arriving on the 14th April and PJ back on the 17th April, fine out more here.
However, some traditional early arrivals such as Wheatear, Sand Martin and Little Ringed Plover are still lagging behind as shown in the BirdTrack graph below.
Little Ringed Plover BirdTrack reporting rate
It is probably still too early to draw conclusions as to what is causing this reduction in numbers, could it be that they were caught out by the cold weather that stretched across Europe earlier in the year and succumbed to the elements, or is it they are just taking their time?
Several of our winter visitors, like Redwing and Fieldfare, also took advantage of the southerly wind and clear conditions to depart for the summer months to their breeding grounds in Scandinavia and across Russia, with reports of both species down on previous weeks. By the end of the month the last of the wintering wildfowl, including White-fronted Goose, will also have departed.
Spotted Flycatcher by Edmund Fellowes
Spring migration is a protracted event lasting several weeks as birds head north in waves, now is the time to look for those species that migrate latter, so keep any eye out for Turtle Dove, Spotted Flycatcher, Roseate Tern, and Hobby. This is also the time of year that many species of wader start to pass through Britain and Ireland and species to look out for include Wood Sandpiper, Little Stint, Spotted Redshank and Ruff, many of which will be attaining their fine summer plumage.
Kentish Plover by Scott Mayson
With unsettled weather and a mixed wind direction forecast for the coming week, migration is likely to be curtailed once again with birds remaining further south waiting for the weather to improve before heading northwards again. Any better weather however could see the first arrival of those later migrating species with the added possibility of something more unusual mixed in like Kentish Plover, Golden Oriole, Red-backed Shrike, or Sardinian Warbler.
Stop, start migration
Migration still slow

Game of Thrones is one of the greatest TV series of all time, and a huge part of the show's long-lasting success is its use of real-life locations within the fantasy setting created by George RR Martin. Culture Trip takes a closer look at the places you can visit to continue your journey to claim the Iron Throne.
The world of Westeros, the land where the majority of the action of Game of Thrones is set, takes its cues from the Medieval era. For the screen adaptation, producers of the show chose spectacular locations that inspire a sense of the otherworldly atmosphere depicted in the book, as well as places that ground the action in reality.
One of the most popular travel destinations in the world, Iceland has seen a recent boom in visitors thanks in no small part to Game of Thrones. Given the varied terrain of the island nation, from the harsh black sands of the south – where the infamous Wall is digitally erected every season – to the chilling ice enclaves in the north, visitors will feel as if they are taking a mini tour of Westeros whenever they venture out of Iceland's capital, Reykjavík. The spectacular Thorufoss saw dragons swooping in, and Grjótagjá Cave was privy to the famous 'intimate' moment between Jon Snow (Kit Harrington) and wildling Ygritte (Rose Leslie). With shooting locations all over the country, Iceland is a dream destination for diehard fans.
The vast sets for Game of Thrones are in purpose-built studios in Belfast. Some of the most recognisable interiors seen on the show, such as Winterfell and Castle Black, are housed in huge buildings in the city, but their exteriors are dotted around the country. HBO, the network responsible for the TV phenomenon, has announced plans to keep the sets in place and turn them into tourist attractions in 2020. There are also a number of locations seen on screen that capture the natural beauty of Northern Ireland, most of which you can explore here.
Doune Castle in Scotland was the original location for the Stark family home Winterfell. The unaired pilot, which also featured a number of cast members who didn't make it through to the first broadcast episode of the series, featured the famous Scottish location, but logistical issues and a lack of studio space saw production move to Northern Ireland soon afterwards. Rival series Outlander has subsequently used numerous Scottish locations, which does make obvious sense, but the prequel to Game of Thrones is set to return to the Isle of Skye in the northwest of Scotland.
Game of Thrones is actually just the title of the first book in the epic A Song of Fire and Ice collection. We've already discussed some of the colder locations, but there are also lands that are covered in red sands and suffocating heat. The south of Spain is where you will find over a dozen filming locations, especially in later seasons. A real-life bullfighting ring in Seville was used as a Meereen fighting pit, and other locations include Córdoba, Girona and Cáceres.
Atlas Studios, the world's biggest film and TV dedicated studio, is situated in Ourzazate, in southern Morocco. The Atlas Mountains lie on one side, with nothing but miles of desert on the other. Movies such as Lawrence of Arabia (1962), The Living Daylights (1987), The Mummy (1999) and Gladiator (2000) were shot here before Game of Thrones rolled into town. We've seen Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) free the Unsullied here as well as her dragons unleashing their fiery fury for the first time. The towns of Essaouira and Aït Benhaddou also feature in the series as parts of the journey undertaken by Daenerys as she grows her army in the south of Westeros.
Malta played a big role in the first series of Game of Thrones but hasn't been featured since the inaugural episodes. Even so, Malta's gorgeous vistas have become ingrained in the minds of fans, and themed tours still take place on the main island and Gozo in the north. The fortified city of Mdina was the location that was first used to depict the Lannister stronghold of King's Landing.
Sadly, tourists will no longer be able to see the famed Azure Window, which was the backdrop to Daenerys and Drogo's (Jason Momoa) wedding ceremony. The spectacular rock formation collapsed into the sea in 2017.
From season two onwards, King's Landing has played a much bigger part in Game of Thrones. The producers found a permanent home in Dubrovnik on the coast of the Adriatic Sea. The Medieval walls of the city appealed to producers as they match many of the descriptions in the original text. One of the most famous scenes in TV history, the unforgettable "walk of shame," was shot from the top of the Spanish steps in the Old Town. The lush greenery of Lokrum, an island a short boat ride away from the old Dubrovnik harbour, was used for filming too.

Born in Brussels on July 7, 1959, Pascal Demeester is a contemporary visual artist who lives and works in Brussels and New York . He is the son of Monique Buts and architect Victor Demeester. He earned a Bachelor of Arts in painting, drawing and photography from the School of Graphic Research (ERG) based in Brussels, Belgium. For four years, he studied under the tutelage of writer, professor and art critic Pierre Sterckx and also learned photography techniques from photographer Jacques Vilet. Demeester has since applied his creativity to personal works as well as to commissioned fashion and commercial visuals for over 20 years. Pascal Demeester grew up in a family of artists. The nephew of Belgian sculptor Marcel Arnould, he regularly visited Arnould's studio workshop as well as that of his aunt's, painter Renée Demeester, alongside whom he developed his artistic talents. His uncle was part of the Phases group, a surrealist collective, whose circle of artists included Marcel Marïen, Marcel Lecomte, Achille Chavée, Jacques Lennep and Jean Coquelet, to name a few. His childhood in the countryside of Ittre, a Belgian province, profoundly shaped his body of work. He builds cabins in the forest whose location he also uses as a source of inspiration to draw and photograph. Early Netherlandish painters, sometimes referred to as 'Flemish Primitives,' also deeply influenced his work. Pascal Demeester's breadth of work spans across photography, from black-and-white film to color. His photoshoots in the forest almost become performance - in fact, Pascal Demeester will not hesitate to spend long hours in the forest in spite of extreme weather conditions. He also expresses himself through drawing, painting, sculpture and video art.

BELLS, TEXAS. Bells is on U.S. Highway 82 ten miles east of Sherman in east central Grayson County. Daniel Dugan settled in the area in 1835. Community development, however, did not occur until the early 1870s with the arrival of the Texas and Pacific and Missouri, Kansas and Texas railways. The community was called Dugansville, for the local pioneer family, from 1871 to 1878, and was renamed Bells (or Bell's), perhaps in reference to the area churches, in 1879. In the 1870s the community had a post office, nine stores, a mill, a cotton gin, and Corneilison School. The community grew up south of the railroad, and incorporated in 1881. By 1900 the community had 400 residents, twenty businesses, two schools, a number of churches, and a weekly newspaper, the North Texas Courant. By the mid-1920s the number of residents had grown to just over 600; businesses numbered thirty, including a bank. The community supported a high school and a grade school. The depression and World War II slowed the growth. Beginning in the 1950s, however, a steady increase in population resumed. In 1955 the population was just over 600; in 1990 it was 962, and in 2000 it was 1,190.

Lessor of aircraft denied Michigan use tax exemption because aircraft was not leased to the general public in an arm's length transaction /
Lessor of aircraft denied Michigan use tax exemption because aircraft was not leased to the general public in an arm's length transaction
By Carlos Marin, Gardiner B. Davis
In FMG Leasing, LLC v. Dep't of Treasury, FMG Leasing was a limited liability company formed to hold title to an aircraft. No. 312448, 2014 WL 2931938 (Mich. Ct. App. June 26, 2014) (no reported citation available). FMG leased the aircraft to a concrete company that was one of FMG's forming partners, and to the company's president. FMG then sought to take advantage of a statutory exception under Michigan law that permits a lessor of tangible personal property to pay use tax on receipts from the rental of the property, instead of paying a sales or use tax on the full cost of the property at the time of purchase.
Update on rideshare battle in St. Louis: Court issues preliminary injunction against Lyft
By Patrick T. McLaughlin
I previously wrote about the legal battle in St. Louis brought by Metropolitan Taxicab Commission ("MTC") against the rideshare app company Lyft in the Circuit Court of the City of St. Louis, Missouri, Case No. 1422-CC0089-01. My comment can be found here.
As I discussed, the court entered a temporary restraining order prohibiting Lyft from operating in St. Louis and St. Louis County. On July 14, 2014, the court again ruled in favor of the MTC, granting a preliminary injunction prohibiting Lyft from operating in the St. Louis area until a final decision is reached on the merits of the case.
In Kansas City, EPA Administrator Seeks to Clarify Proposed "Waters of the United States" Regulation
By Michael P. Comodeca, James T. Price
On July 10, EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy spoke to the Agricultural Business Council of Kansas City in an attempt to ease concerns over the Administration's proposed rule to clarify the reach of the Clean Water Act (CWA). The proposed rule, issued jointly by EPA and the Army Corps of Engineers, seeks to specify by regulation the scope of the CWA following the 2006 Supreme Court decision in Rapanos v. United States. The competing tests for CWA jurisdiction issued by the Court in Rapanos have complicated efforts to determine when smaller waters, wetlands, and ephemeral streams are subject to CWA jurisdiction and would require government permits before they can be impacted. In response to mounting criticism of the proposed rule from a number of stakeholders, McCarthy tried to reassure the audience, saying, "We don't believe that we are expanding jurisdiction."
Manufacturer's Corner: Anatomy of a Limited Warranty (Part 1)
By Ryan C. Hardy
It's a sad fact of life at companies and law firms that sometimes things are done a certain way just because that's how they've always been done. Part of the reason this column spends so much time talking about your terms and conditions, however, is because that's dangerous: how you do things now should be informed by the past, but not bound by the past.

Hobby Lobby Decision – Contraceptive Mandate Not Applicable To Certain For-Profit Employers
By Brian Peterson
Under certain circumstances, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act's ("ACA") "contraceptive mandate" cannot be enforced against closely held for-profit corporations.The ACA requires non-exempt employers to offer female employees health insurance plans that cover preventative care and screenings without any cost sharing requirements. "Preventative care" includes contraceptive methods that can prevent a fertilized egg from implanting into the uterus and developing further. Non-profit religious organizations are expressly exempt from the ACA but for-profit employers are not. The issue before the Supreme Court was whether the ACA's contraceptive mandate was enforceable as applied to closely held for-profit corporations.

Colorado Supreme Court Approves Ballot Measure Language Restricting Fracking, Part Two
In another "end run" around the state's General Assembly, proponents of greater restrictions on oil and gas exploration in Colorado are again employing the initiative process, this time to authorize local governments to enact laws within their geographic boundaries more restrictive than state law, and even go so far as to potentially ban all exploration activity. Alongside a companion ballot language challenge allowing for more restrictive statewide setback requirements (the subject of a prior article, (Colorado Supreme Court Approves Ballot Measure Language Restricting Fracking), the Colorado Supreme Court ruled that two ballot initiatives permitting a state constitutional amendment allowing for more restrictive local control did not violate "the single subject rule."

Austria-Hungary or Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, also known as the Dual Monarchy or the k.u.k. Monarchy, was a monarchic union between the crowns of the Austrian Empire and the Kingdom of Hungary in Central Europe. The union was a result of the Ausgleich or Compromise of 1867, under which the Austrian House of Habsburg agreed to share power with the separate Hungarian government, dividing the territory of the former Austrian Empire between them. The Dual Monarchy had existed for 51 years when it dissolved on October 31, 1918 following military defeat in the First World War.

Atmospheric gas and vegetation survey data from Parsonage Down, UK, in 2014
This dataset contains greenhouse gas flux data and vegetation survey data from an experiment based at Parsonage Down, UK. The vegetation survey comprises total species percentage cover and species richness data from four 50 cm by 50 cm quadrats. The greenhouse gas flux data comprises net ecosystem carbon dioxide exchange, photosynthesis and respiration data measured with an Infra-red Gas Analyser (IRGA); methane, carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide data measured using gas chromatography; and nitrate and ammonium from soil samples extracted with potassium chloride. The experiment investigated the effect of different plant groups on soil carbon stores and nutrient cycling, by using a mixture of hand weeding and herbicide spot spraying to create different plant communities on the species rich grassland at Parsonage Down. The resulting carbon and nutrient cycling rates were compared to the characteristics of the plant groups. The experiment ran from 2013 to 2015 and this dataset contains data from 2014 only. This experiment was part of the Wessex BESS project, a six-year (2011-2017) project aimed at understanding how biodiversity underpins the ecosystem functions and services that landscapes provide.

For greenhouse gas exchange flux, a time series correlation was calculated and low correlations removed (<70%). Outliers were also removed at the beginning and end of sample where appropriate. Calibrations at two levels were done for methane gas flux (at 14, and 33 ppm), carbon dioxide gas flux (at 500 and 1000 ppm) and nitrous oxide gas flux (at 200 and 370 ppm). Standardised protocols were followed in all cases, details of which can be found in the supporting documentation.

On April 12, Hangzhou Public Security announced the results of recent anti-gangster and anti-evil actions, in which some gangs involved in gangsters resort to all means to collect projects and recover debts.
This video was deliberately recorded by the woman in the picture, while the man in the video was a project owner in Fuyang, Hangzhou. According to the police investigation, the video was recorded by the women mainly to coerce the project owner in the video and contract a project to Lin Mou, the creditor of the women.

Why David Blatt's future is bright even though the Cavs lost
Here are four reasons why the Cleveland coach should hold his head high.
by Sean Deveney | Wednesday, June 17, 2015
by Sean Deveney
Such is the nature of the win-at-all-costs NBA that, even in the wake of an improbable run in the league's Finals, despite missing two of the team's three best players, there could even be questions about Cleveland Cavaliers coach David Blatt's job security. Blatt has always met such questions with a shrug and an air of acceptance. Part of coaching in the NBA is scrutiny, and Blatt's outlook on scrutiny hasn't changed: So be it.
He certainly was not in a woe-is-me state of mind after the series, which ended in a Golden State Warriors victory. "I'm proud of everybody in our organization today," he said. "It's tough, tough to lose. It's tougher to be over. Not every story has a happy ending. It doesn't mean it's a bad story. This was not. This was a good story."
One thing for sure emerged: Blatt is among the best coaches in the world. He proved that when he coached his Israeli team to victory in last year's Euroleague championship. The Cavaliers should not make a change with their head coach, because Blatt is now a sought-after commodity in the NBA.
In fact, there are four reasons Blatt and the Cavs should have a bright future together.
1. Blatt was tactically brilliant in the Finals.
He has not gotten enough credit, but the reason Cleveland was able to establish a 2-1 lead in the series was because of the defensive schemes Blatt's Cavs established in the first three games, which slowed the pace of the game and forced Golden State into a lineup change with star Stephen Curry struggling to find space. "They were impressive that way," Warriors guard Klay Thompson said. "They definitely did some things that had us off our rhythm."
2. He's gotten on the same page with LeBron James.
Blatt is James' fifth coach in the NBA, and as James has said, every coach-player relationship takes time to build. Blatt has acknowledged that there were rough spots early, but by the second half of the season, the Cavaliers were in sync. "It was a challenging but oh-so-rewarding and beneficial chance that I was given to work with the best player in the world," Blatt said, "and he competed for us. He led the team, and he made every attempt to make this work. And I give him a lot of credit for that."
3. The Cavaliers roster has been straightened out.
One of the most important moves of the season came back in January when Blatt urged his team's front office to acquire big man Timofey Mozgov from Denver. Blatt had coached Mozgov with the Russian national team and knew he could provide the size and defense Cleveland lacked. It worked out – the Cavs' strong finish and terrific postseason run was fueled, in part, by Mozgov's defensive impact. "He is a coach everyone should like to play for," Mozgov said. "He is very smart and he knows the game as much as any coach I ever have known."
4. Cleveland should be the best team in the league – when healthy.
After acquiring Mozgov, Iman Shumpert and J.R. Smith at midseason, the Cavaliers sank to 19-20 in the standings, but bounced back with a great stretch run, finishing 34-9 in the regular season and going 14-6 in the playoffs. With a full season together, and the return from injury of Irving and Love, the Cavaliers could have a stocked roster next season, and Blatt should find himself back in the Finals. "We never asked for sympathy when they went down," Blatt said. "We played our hearts out. The Warriors were better. Those guys will get healthy, and we'll come back after it next season."

United Airlines Ups Accra To Daily Flights From May
United Airlines has filed an increase to one of its new flights to Africa. The airline will up its three-weekly services from Washington D.C.'s Dulles International Airport (IAD) to Accra's Kotoka International Airport (ACC) to daily services. The Boeing 787-8 will continue to operate the route, but the added capacity will boost connectivity between the US and West Africa.

United Airlines boosts its flights to Ghana
Schedule updates at Cirium show that United Airlines has filed additional operations between IAD and ACC next year. Starting on May 6th, 2022, the route will be upgraded to daily services. The airline had previously scheduled three weekly services operating on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.
Flights will depart IAD at 18:30 and arrive the following day in Accra at 08:40. The Africa-bound flight is blocked at ten hours and ten minutes. The return flight will depart ACC at 23:30 and arrive the next morning at 06:50 in Washington D.C. This flight is blocked at 11 hours and 20 minutes. All times are local.
The nearly 5,300-mile route is blocked at over ten hours eastbound and over 11 westbound. Rendering created at Great Circle Mapper
The flight is scheduled to run daily through the end of United's available schedule. This indicates that United plans to make this a daily flight operated year-round, representing a sizable boost of nearly 1,000 seats per week in each direction.
United will also fly daily flights on this route from December 1st through January 31st. Targeting holiday demand, this was a temporary boost that would return to three times per week service from February.
The Boeing 787-8
United Airlines will continue to fly a Boeing 787-8 on the route. According to the airline, the 787-8s have already all been retrofitted with the airline's newest onboard products. These aircraft offer 28 lie-flat new Polaris seats. This is in a 1-2-1 configuration, offering every passenger direct aisle access.
United also offers 21 premium economy seats. Branded as Premium Plus, this cabin is an upgraded recliner-style product similar to a domestic first class seat. This cabin is laid out in a 2-3-2 configuration. United offers 36 extra-legroom economy seats, branded as Economy Plus. Lastly, there are 158 standard economy seats. These latter two cabins are in a 3-3-3 configuration.
United's Boeing 787-8s are configured with room for 243 passengers. Photo: Vincenzo Pace | Simple Flying
All passengers onboard the aircraft will be able to access entertainment via on-demand seatback entertainment. WiFi is also available for streaming content on a personal device or surfing the web. Power outlets and USB outlets are available in all cabins.
Growing its presence in Africa
United Airlines is on a roll in 2021 with new routes to Africa. Flights to Accra launched from Dulles in May. Shortly after that, United launched a new nonstop from its Newark (EWR) hub to Johannesburg (JNB). On Monday, November 29th, the airline will move ahead with the planned service launch to Lagos (LOS), also from IAD. All three of these routes were first announced in September 2020.
The Boeing 787 family is proving key to supporting United's expansion to Africa. Photo: Vincenzo Pace | Simple Flying
United Airlines has tried this route before. From 2010 to 2012, the carrier flew the route as part of an international expansion that targeted new markets, including Africa. However, the environment of rising fuel prices and a competitive market led United to cut the route. According to historical data from Cirium, South African Airways also flew the route through 2020, up until the crisis hit and the airline initiated a serious restructuring that led to its abandoning long-haul routes. The airline flew this routing to IAD from JNB with the stop in Accra. This was a fifth freedom flight.
Delta Air Lines continues to fly to Accra from New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK). Both airlines will be flying the route daily next summer. Between local demand and the carrier's sizeable connecting hub, the airline should be able to fill up its planes, even against Delta. The question will be whether yields are high enough to keep the flight running. With the latest service increase now available for booking, it is looking like the carrier is making a solid bet on the route.

Unlike many New Yorkers, I cook most of the meals for me and my family, and brewing beer is just more cooking.
Like many single parents, I do nearly all the cleaning, and brewing beer is just more cleaning.
As a typical Brooklyn resident, I have a small kitchen and almost no storage space, so I cannot possibly fathom brewing beer at home.
When I brewed beer, it was at Bitter & Esters, which solved all three of the above excuses but isn't particularly convenient, as I don't live anywhere near its Prospect Heights location (nor near easy transit to get there). And when it comes to a typically crazy NYC life, convenience is probably the umbrella excuse for why many of us who would like to brew never really get around to brewing.
Well, as if answering a prayer, the great owner/brewers behind Brooklyn Brew Shop, Erica Shea and Stephen Valand, are hosting a Beer Making Class on Wednesday, May 28th, and they're using a regular stove top just like you would in your own apartment! Now you, too, can learn from some of the best brew peeps (they recently started selling their beers in small batches, collaborating with 508 Gastrobrewery) and actually see how to brew in a typical Brooklyn space.
Not sure how to keep your equipment sterile when you have cats? I'm guessing they'll help you out with that. How to cool your wort in the world's smallest sink? I'll bet they have a bathtub/shower solution for your problem. Afraid you'll have to hire a personal arranger specialist just to find a safe place to store your bottles while they ferment? If anyone can solve your most aggrieved apartment issues, it's gonna be Erica and Stephen.
While there are lots of "Beer 101" classes available, this is one of the first I've seen that addresses brewing in an authentic living space. If you have brewed before or not, there will be a bunch of cool people checking out this class, enjoying some Brooklyn Brew Shop beers (they'll be pouring Strawberry Rhubarb Strong Ale and Six Hop IPA), eating snacks, and mingling with other beer-loving folks.
Oh, and did I mention that for $40 they'll even throw in a copy of their new book? You'll leave with a head full of stove-top brew-making knowledge, a full belly of food and beer, and your very own signed copy of Make Some Beer: Small-Batch Recipes from Brooklyn to Bamberg. The book features more than 30 original recipes inspired by the couple's travels to popular craft breweries from all over the world, including Goose Island in Chicago, Ommegang and Brooklyn Brewery in New York, Ranger Creek in Texas, and many more.
Address will be sent upon purchase.

Knee Replacement Timing Out of Step for
Most Candidates
Nancy Melville
The vast majority of patients with knee osteoarthritis in the United States who are considered appropriate for total knee replacement do not receive the surgery in a timely manner, whereas many who are not appropriate candidates have the knee replacement anyhow — prematurely, with both scenarios carrying important risks, new research shows.
"Our study suggests that there is a potentially large number of patients with knee osteoarthritis in the US who could benefit from total knee replacement but do not undergo the procedure," the authors report.
The study, published this week in the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, is believed to be the first of its kind to prospectively assess the timeliness of knee replacement among a large number of patients with knee osteoarthritis.
"With nearly 1,000,000 total knee replacements being performed in the US each year, the present study provides important impetus for future efforts directed at measuring and improving timely utilization of total knee replacement," the authors say.
The research included patients who had knee osteoarthritis or were at risk of the condition from two large prospective cohort studies — the Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI), conducted from February 2004 to May 2006 at four clinical sites, and the Multicenter Osteoarthritis (MOST) study, evaluating patients from April 2003 to April 2005 at two sites.
Of a total of 8002 knee osteoarthritis cases identified in the two studies, 3417 knees met inclusion criteria for the analysis.
After a follow-up of up to 8 years, only 9% of those considered to be potentially appropriate for total knee replacement received total knee replacement surgery within a "timely" manner, defined as within 2 years of becoming potentially appropriate for the surgery.
Meanwhile, 90.7% of those considered "potentially appropriate" for the surgery did not have the replacement in a "timely" manner.
In addition, among the 1114 total knee replacements that were performed, 26.4% were considered to be "likely inappropriate" and therefore premature.
The criteria for the appropriate timing of knee replacement surgery was based on evidence-based recommendations that consider factors including age, symptomatology, radiographic knee osteoarthritis severity, number of knee compartments involved, and knee stability.
Key factors associated with an increased risk of not having a knee replacement when appropriate included being African American (odds ratio [OR], 2.81), and the likelihood of having premature total knee replacement surgery was lower among participants with a body mass index above 25 kg/m2 (OR, 0.33) and those with depression (OR, 0.37).
Among the knees considered potentially appropriate but not replaced, nearly half (42.5%) of patients had severe symptoms, defined as combined Western Ontario and McMaster Universities [WOMAC] Pain and Physical Function scores of 34 or above.
In addition to the sustained pain, the delay in knee replacement when the surgery is considered appropriate can lead to a cascade of undesired events, lead investigator Hassan Ghomrawi, PhD, MPH, said in a news release.
"When people wait too long, two things happen," said Ghomrawi, who is an associate professor of surgery at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago, Illinois.
"The osteoarthritis causes deterioration of their function. Some of them wouldn't be able to straighten out their legs, affecting their walking and mobility," he said. "When you can't get exercise, you can start to develop other health problems such as cardiovascular problems. You may also become depressed. The overall impact can be huge."
Secondly, the surgery itself may provide less benefit if delayed.
"You don't get as much function back when you wait too long; your mobility is still reduced vs somebody who had it in a timely fashion," Ghomrawi said.
Undergoing total knee replacement too early, in addition to likely providing little to no benefit, can mean exposing patients to the numerous risks that are associated with a major surgery.
Since total knee replacement is elective, a host of demographic, socioeconomic, and sociocultural factors can all come into play in determining whether, and when, a patient has the surgery, even in the context of pain, the authors write.
"While it is reasonable to assume that a subset of such patients have sensible reasons for not undergoing total knee replacement (for example, medical contraindications or the need to delay surgery because of the responsibility of caring for others, eg, a spouse or parent), the rest actually may benefit from surgery."
Evidence points to several specific reasons for the higher rates of delays among African Americans, including research that indicates a greater likelihood of having lower expectations of surgery, the authors add.
"In addition, physician networks in communities with higher proportions of black residents are more likely to be smaller and more insular, which may result in lower utilization of and poorer access to total knee replacement," they say.
"Understanding the reasons and barriers resulting in delay in those subpopulations is important, as the superiority of total knee replacement over nonoperative management has been demonstrated."
The study was funded by grants from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases of the National Institutes of Health. The authors have disclosed no relevant financial relationships.

When marketing a product or service, it is important to consider every element of your marketing campaign, including your target audience, and social media platforms. Here we are going to look at 5 vital marketing techniques for retailers to use when marketing a product, to help you to create a campaign that will get you ahead of your competitors.
Having a good brand presence is essential when it comes to your marketing campaign, so you need to consider who your target audience are and aim your concentration and efforts at them.
One way in which you can create a strong brand awareness is through printed paper bags, which can reflect your brand's personality, what you are about as a business, in addition to including an interactive aspect, such as a hashtag. Creating bags with your name on, with an exciting backdrop will allow your customers to remember your brand and see you as a reliable business to buy from.
One of the traditional marketing techniques that should be considered in retail is the 4 p's, consisting of price, product, place and promotion. Here is a quick look into each part, so you can see why they are so crucial to the overall marketing technique in retail.
This aspect can often be overlooked when in fact the price of the product is crucial to overall sales. If your price point is incorrect this can have a profound effect on the number of units that you sell and could mean the difference between you and your competitor receiving more revenue.
Having a product that excites and interests your target market is key. Think about whether there is a space in the retail marketplace for your new product and how it will be beneficial to your customers.
Once the price point and the product have been determined there is a large need to pinpoint the point of sale, as this will ensure that you reach your goal by selling the number of units you anticipated. If this is calculated incorrectly this can have a massive impact on the amount of stock you need.
Arguably the most important element of the marketing tactic is the promotion of the product. If it isn't promoted effectively then it can reduce the success of the product's performance.
Although this is only a new concept, the use of influencer marketing is beginning to grow, with companies beginning to see the marketing power of major influencers online. Now there is an increased focus on companies relying on our favourite social media influencers for marketing their brands across all social platforms.
With companies such as Morphe using beauty influencers like James Charles, it is clear to see the increase in their brand awareness, as well as a growth in sales. This has allowed them to reduce the overhead cost of other marketing elements such as TV adverts and traditional print.
When marketing a product it is important to ensure that your social media presence is portraying the same message. Use your social profiles to promote offers, in addition to offering a new personal level of communicating with both new and old customers. Nowadays everyone is tweeting, snapchatting or posting on Facebook or Instagram, so join in with these social channels to help market your brand.
Do make sure that any content that you write on your profiles are accurate, relevant and most importantly, engaging for the reader.
Email marketing is ideal if you are looking to meet a global audience, drive your revenue, and meet an already engaged audience. What's more, you can use it to contact customers who have shown an interest in your brand via your website, to show them any deals or successes you have recently achieved.
This marketing technique is significantly lower in cost than other marketing channels and is a really easy way to deliver targeted messages to your audience.
As you can see, there are plenty of ways that you can market products that all have high success rates, making each of these worthwhile techniques for your business in the long term to help it to grow and expand.

Below is an example of the stored messages window in 'ready to use' mode. Notice that the background of the list is white (on XP) and that there are no lines of buttons showing above the messages. (If the top lines of buttons are showing, clicking the Green Triangle (top right) will take you out of edit mode and hide those buttons).
In the top right between the question mark and the red X 'close' box is the letter 'S' or 'L'. Clicking on it changes the font size in the message list between Standard and Large.
To send a message you simply click the colored letter for its destination. Think of the colored letter as a tiny button that will send the message. (If you are in edit mode - and can see the rows of buttons - you will need to click the the Green Triangle first, top right).
While most of letters are obvious there are a few you might not have expected, Opponents, KO - Kibs Including Opponents, and Alert. There is also a special Club Broadcast column (not shown in the image below) for Private Club Managers.
Alert (letter button) A - When clicked the Alert does not send chat or ever write to the main ChatAssistant Input area. Instead it first looks for the BBO "Explain this:" prompt and if found the text is inserted in there, if not it searches for an Alert 'input area' and puts the text in there. Other than putting the text in the correct place, nothing else happens - no buttons are ever clicked, leaving you free to select your bid or alter the text as you wish.
If there is a blue letter 'h' showing in the top right hand corner next to the green triangle or if there is a blue 'h' showing in the column entry for that message then the message will be 'held'. It will be put in the input box on the main ChatAssistant window. Think of the blue letter h in the top left as being a safety mechanism. It is really there for training and testing. Normally you should click on it and have it show as a hyphen.
If you want to 'hold' a message in normal use, because you need to it change part of it, then the way to do this is to have its own individual blue 'h' showing in its own 'hold' column.
When stored messages are sent they bypass the ChatAssistant 'Bridge Text Conversions'. When sent with designation of 'blue h' stored, messages cause the Conv check box on the ChatAssistant main input bar to be cleared. So when writing stored messages you will need to supply your own ! characters to get the BBO suit symbols.
The purple dot you can see in the image above, in a column on its own, shows the last message row that was clicked on.
Red dot, this shows there was a problem, could your connection with BBO have dropped? Or are you trying to send an ultra-short message? ChatAssistant will not send messages that are only a few characters long. Or are you trying to send to a person and have forgotten to select a person in the 'Chat to' destination window on the main ChatAssistant bar?
Green diamond, this shows that the message was successfully sent from the stored message list directly to BBO and you should see it appear on BBO in a moment or two.
Blue Diamond, this shows that the message was successfully sent from the stored messages list and was placed in the ChatAssistant output bo. You should be able to see it there at once.
The column that comes before the column of blue 'h's is the 'Msg ID' column. The idea is that you the user will assign your own short letter code that will be a quick guide to what the full message contains. This message code is never transmitted to BBO. You can vary the width of the column to suit the way you use it. See the Prefs section.
You can hover the mouse over the long message text area and its tool tip will pop up and expand outside the list over to the right so you can read it.
Consider using the first message in each set as a title or a description of the messages in that set.
Instead of letter buttons you can show the table as a set 'Grid of Buttons'.
This is covered in detail at the end of the next section (Part B).

Dust off the Panels: Star Trek Omnibus Volume 1
by Rob McMonigal 12/05/2011 08:00:00 AM
To Boldly Be Licensed Multiple Times!
Written by Various Writers, including Mike W. Barr, Tom DeFalco, J.M. DeMatteis, Dennis O'Neil, and Marv Wolfman
Illustrated by Various Artists, including Dave Cockrum, Gil Kane, and Klaus Janson
IDW (originally Marvel)
Space may be the final frontier, but the comics frontier is endless! Join the crew of the original series just after the first movie as Kirk, McCoy, Spock, Scotty, and the rest explore their universe with the help of whoever was around the Marvel Bullpen at the time! Read the entire run of the original stories developed for Star Trek by Marvel Comics in this omnibus by current Star Trek publisher IDW.
I'm not a huge science fiction person, but I absolutely love Star Trek. It is one of the few television series where I've actually read the licensed properties and the only one (so far) where I've wanted to keep reading them. Original series Star Trek might just qualify as my favorite television show, given how many times I've re-watched the episodes. Interestingly enough, however, this is my first time ever reading the comics. Given that some of my favorite writers (including Peter David) have worked on the comics over the years, this really surprises me. At any rate, it was high time to sample and this was just starting at me from the library shelf, asking to come home with me. (Perhaps it did a Vulcan mind meld.)
So what did I think of Trek transformed into a comic? Overall, I was happy with the results. They are definitely true to the feel of the original series, sometimes even echoing plots we saw on the television show. There's definitely a strong thematic link between the two, which I think is important when you are working on a licensed property. The same conflicts between saving people and following the Prime Directive come up, difficult choices are a matter of course, and the bonds of trust developed between the core crew members shine through here in page after page. Any one of these comics could easily be adapted to television and not lose anything in the translation. The authors generally even get the closing scenes right, ending with a wry joke or a serious commentary on the events of the issue. I'm happy to see that no attempt was made to Marvel-ize them, giving them additional hangups or problems beyond those already established. We do get some continued stories, but interestingly enough, these issues could be read in just about any order without disrupting continuity. That might be taking the television format a bit too far, actually. It would have been nice to see some layering, but perhaps I'm just too used to serial comics.
The writing changes radically from person to person, but that was also true on the original television show. Wolfman goes for horror, Barr writes a mystery (ala Batman), and DeMatteis is extremely philosophical. Tom DeFalco's story is a bit stranger than I'm used to from him, involving more complex sci fi issues than I'd expect from the writer of "ho-ha" fun. Martin Pasko writes the bulk of the series, and his are okay but show that he's not a Marvel regular. His comics read very much like comics, if that makes any sense. There's a lot of the 1970s DC tics of explaining everything in narrative boxes. He does, however, have one of the best Shaggy Dog stories I've ever read in comics, with Scotty as the protagonist of the joke. I also liked a lot of the conflict and grey morality that Pasko builds into his stories. With a bit more editing, they could have been the highlight of the book.
Where the series breaks down quite a bit, though not enough to disrupt a fan's enjoyment, is in the multiple artists. Klaus Janson wrecks the comics he's involved in, flattening the art and making some scenes almost indecipherable. He was about the worst choice to work with Cockrum. Gil Kane is usually an amazing artist, but his work here is not his best, aliens aside. Just about every artist struggled with the likenesses, with Shatner often looking like an older Peter Parker. Most of the artwork is muddied, which I think is partly due to the difficulty in reproducing comics people did not expect to be permanent. Some scenes lose their impact because it's distracting to notice just how off-model the characters are. Worst by far is the coloring, however, which has no consistency from issue to issue. The uniforms seem to change at will, with no explanation, sometimes following the movie and sometimes the old show and sometimes changing in the same issue! Honestly, the editing here on the art is quite poor, reflecting badly on Louise Simonson, Al Milgrom and Dennis O'Neil. I'm sure there's a reason, as all three are normally better than this.
While I wouldn't recommend the first Star Trek omnibus to a casual fan of the series, I think it's an excellent pick up for those of us who are still willing to sit for hours and discuss the evolution of Spock's characterization or how inconsistent Kirk is with the Prime Directive. These are good Star Trek stories, even if the art sometimes gets in the way. Any Trek fan really should track this one down, as any quality additions to the series are well worth it. The first Star Trek omnibus definitely qualifies.


Liability car coverage protects you from claims by third parties.
Sometimes, though rarely in the U.S., car insurance is referred to as third-party insurance or third-party car insurance. Rest assured that this isn't a totally separate car insurance policy or an extra type of coverage you need to buy — if you have auto liability coverage (which is required in most states), you have third-party car insurance.
The first party is you; the second party is the insurance company; and the third party is the person or people who may make claims against you in the future: someone whose vehicle you rear-end, for example. The point of third-party insurance is to protect you against such claims, both by paying your legal fees and any settlement payments, up to the limits of your insurance policy.
To make sure you're getting the right amount of car insurance coverage, talk to a licensed representative at Policygenius.
What is third-party auto insurance?
Broadly, third-party insurance is a type of insurance purchased by a person or business (first party) from an insurance company (second party) to protect them from claims of people they may accidentally hurt or wrong (third party).
In the U.S., this type of coverage is more commonly referred to as liability insurance.
For auto insurance, there are two kinds of third-party insurance: bodily injury liability (BIL) and property damage liability (PDL).
Bodily injury liability (BIL) will cover you by paying for expenses if you injure someone in a vehicle accident. This can include medical bills, legal fees, lost wages and funeral fees.
Property damage liability (PDL) will cover you by paying to replace or repair other people's property you damage with your vehicle.
Both BIL and PDL only cover the damage of third parties; neither offer protection for your own bills or expenses. If you want to be covered for your own damages, that kind of coverage is called first-party coverage and is optional in some states. Types of first-party coverage include comprehensive, collision (which covers damages to you car), personal injury protection (which covers medical expenses), and uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage (which covers you if your own third-party claims can't be covered) .
Read more about the types of car insurance that protect you when you're behind the wheel.
When it comes to auto insurance, third-party or liability coverage is mandated in most states. In the ones where it isn't, drivers must show that they have the financial means to pay for third-party claims out of pocket.
Find out how much car insurance coverage is required by law in every state.
The term third-party car insurance is much more common in other countries. For example, in Canada, the U.K., Australia, New Zealand, India, and many other countries, bodily injury liability and property damage liability are combined under the term third-party liability coverage.
For third-party auto insurance claims, the person you injure or whose property you damage will make a claim directly to your insurance company, and your insurer will deal with making a settlement.
If someone makes a third-party insurance claim against you, your insurance company will settle the claim, up to your insurance limits. If the claim is for more than you are insured for, you may be found liable for excess damages.
This is why you have to stop and exchange driver's licenses and auto insurance information if you're in an accident, no matter how small.
Alternatively, if an accident is someone else's fault, it's your responsibility to make your own claim through that person's insurer. If the person who hit you doesn't have sufficient coverage or isn't insured at all, you may have to sue them for damages, though if you have uninsured/underinsured motorist insurance, a type of coverage that protects you in this situation, your own insurance company would pay for your injuries and damage. In a case where the person who hits you doesn't have enough coverage, your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage stands in for their own third-party liability coverage.

When the University of Guelph-Humber was first established, the maximum capacity of students was projected to be around 3000. Currently, the school is almost at 5000 students.
Jerry Chomyn, University of Guelph adjunct professor, revealed the statistic after completion of an operational review for the University of Guelph-Humber.
Chomyn was the head of media studies at the time of the review and authored most of the report.
Rani Dhaliwal helped organize the review. She's the senior vice-president of transformation and strategic partnership and a member of the steering committee for the review.
Chomyn said despite full enrolment, safety regulations have not been compromised.
Kellie Cao, a second-year early childhood studies student, said she would like to see an expansion at the university.
Cao finds the school to be overcrowded, to the point where she is unable to find seating around campus whether it is during the busy hours of the day or not.
According to the operational review, the lack of space at Guelph-Humber has led to another problem.
The provincial government has created a new funding model where enrolment is tied to funding.
Due to the space limitation at Guelph-Humber, the review said that enrolment growth will be constrained within the next two to three years. This could result in a decline in funding and may lead to an increase in tuition.
She added it would be premature to comment on this now and would be a better question to ask once a strategic plan has been done.
She didn't say when the strategic plan would be completed.
As to possible tuition increases, Dhaliwal said that it is a matter for the provincial government to decide and that it was out of the school's hands.
The operational review can be found here.

Summary — Vermont Program for Quality in Health Care, Inc.
What is the VPQHC Peer Review Network?
A priority of Vermont's hospitals is to enhance and improve the peer review of their medical staff. Due to the small size of many Vermont hospitals, peer review committees are frequently challenged to find peers to review the quality of the services provided by their medical staff members. Many hospitals have physicians on their active staff for whom there is no peer, or the only available peers have a conflict of interest, such as being in practice with the individual they are to review. In addition, at times internal peer reviews lack a strong consensus, or conclusions are reached that are conflicting, or ambiguous, and which would benefit from an external eye.
In 2001, in an effort to make peers more widely available to Vermont hospital peer review committees, Vermont's hospitals and the Vermont Program for Quality in Health Care established a statewide peer review network from which hospitals may draw physicians to conduct or assist in peer reviews. Hospitals may draw from the network for a peer review to help improve the quality of care provided by medical staff, monitor the performance of medical staff, or identify areas for performance improvement.
Under 26 V.S.A. §1443, proceedings, reports and information shared as part of a peer review committee's activity shall be confidential and privileged and shall not be disclosed in any court proceeding or otherwise unless authorized by the peer review committee. All activities related to the statewide peer review pool shall be conducted under appropriate peer review committee procedures to maintain the confidentiality and privilege of the peer review process as provided by Vermont statute, 26 V.S.A. §1441-1443.
How is confidentiality for the VPQHC Peer Review Network maintained?
The work convened by VPQHC in establishing a statewide physician pool is protected under peer review confidentiality. Additionally, all physician participants sign a confidentiality agreement as a member of the VPQHC statewide physician peer review network, and enter into a separate peer review committee contract with any individual hospital with whom he or she contracts to provide specific peer review services. All contracts between hospitals and individual physician pool participants are structured such that the physician pool participant receives and reports information to the appropriate hospital peer review committee thereby invoking that hospital's peer review committee protection.
More information about the VPQHC Peer Review Network can be found in the Frequently Asked Questions section.
