Carmen DeLeon releases new single X video – Juegas
Carmen DeLeon is joined by acclaimed Colombian artist FEID on her new single, "Juegas," a playful, romantic ode to the start of a new relationship.
View "Juegas" Official Video HERE
Paired with a pop-infused beat, the song's lyrics evoke the "butterflies in the stomach" deeling that are a hallmark of infatuation. Listen to "Juegas," which was released today by Capitol Music Group and Universal Music Latin Entertainment, HERE.
Earlier this month, FEID received TWO 2020 LATIN GRAMMY nominations for BEST REGGAETON PERFORMANCE and BEST URBAN MUSIC ALBUM, both recognizing the success of his collaboration with Justin Quiles on PORFA and his breakthrough album, FERXXO (VOL. 1: M.O.R.).
"Juegas" is the follow-up to "Volver," the summer 2020 single that launched Carmen DeLeon's career. She and FEID wrote the new song with Maxium, Mista Bombo, Leon Yamil and Jonathan Tobas. It was produced by Maxium, Mista Bombo and Leon Yamil.
"Juegas" is as authentic as it comes, especially when DeLeon describes what she draws inspiration from and how she puts pen to paper.
Carmen DeLeon says, "I wrote "Juegas" one night in Miami around one a.m. with one of my best friends. I wanted to write a love song that focused on the need to give and receive in a relationship. To me, that's the best part of living life with a partner. I hope that people feel inspired when they hear this song and understand the importance of giving and receiving."
Directed and produced by Gian Rivera (aka "Death of Gian"), who helmed Feid'a video for "PORFA (Remix)," the official video for "Juegas" was shot in Miami and is infused with the kind of energy and enthusiasm that is characteristic of DeLeon's style and artistic sensibility. Much like the theme of reciprocity that DeLeon highlights, the song's combination of vibrant beat, melody and lyrics remind listeners that music is the ultimate antidote. Watch the video HERE.
"Volver," Carmen DeLeon's debut single, has already amassed more than 800,000 combined global streams. It was produced by Tainy, the Puerto Rican mastermind who's been responsible for some of the biggest hits in reggaeton and trap. In a few short months, DeLeon has grown a considerable following on her social channels, with 30,000 monthly listeners on Spotify and more than two million views on her YouTube channel. Born in Venezuela, she is now based in Miami.
Euphoria said, "Carmen DeLeon commands the world as her stage with fiery gusto and an undeniable sense of positivity. Further proving her right as music's next breath of fresh air, the spry 19-year-old artist masters the microphone with "Volver," a fiery ode to budding passion and power."
Wonderland noted, "Sharing her struggles with anxiety, the highs and lows of these uncertain times and how it's okay not to be okay, DeLeon brings her Latin roots to the fore on the laid-back tune, reminding us all exactly why she's a force to be reckoned with."
Praising the sing-along banger, Idolator declared, "Carmen DeLeon needs to be on your pop radar."

The song is out on NEON16/Interscope Records and available on all streaming platforms today.

Tainy – MALOS HABITOS
TAINY REVEALS NEW VIDEO FOR "MALOS HABITOS" FEATURING PUERTORICAN NEWCOMER KRIS FLOYD
3 time Latin GRAMMY© Award-winning producer and artist Tainy, released the video for "MALOS HABITOS" alongside Puertorican newcomer Kris Floyd. The song is part of "The Kids That Grew Up On Reggaeton- Neon Tapes", Tainy's debut EP released earlier this month which consists of 7 songs and features other talented artists such as Dalex, Alvaro Diaz, Sean Paul, Cazzu, Mozart La Para, Lauren Jauregui, C. Tangana, Kali Uchis, Khea, Kris Floyd, Dylan Fuentes, Lennox, Justin Quiles, and Llane.
The video was directed by Elliot Muscat and The Garden and was shot on location in Miami in the middle of the night. Muscat drew inspiration from the up close and personal feel of the 90s shooting styles and tying the camera to the back of a pickup truck giving him the chance to capture Tainy and Kris in the best way.
"This track is special, it's Kris Floyd's debut as part of the NEON16 family, so this is another exciting time for us. It was produced by the very talented Jota Rosa who is also under the NEON incubator. In this song he put his touch and gave the EP the variety it was missing. Kris' delivery on this track is truly amazing", comments Tainy.

DJ SNAKE, SEAN PAUL × ANITTA
RELEASE EYE-POPPING VIDEO FOR "FUEGO" FT. TAINY
Today marks the release of the fire-filled video for "Fuego" by DJ Snake, Sean Paul & Anitta ft. Tainy — a track from multi-platinum producer DJ Snake's dynamic new album Carte Blanche. Directed by Colin Tilley (an award-winning filmmaker known for his work with Kendrick Lamar, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, and Justin Timberlake), the video stars DJ Snake alongside legendary Jamaican artist Sean Paul and Brazilian singer/songwriter/actress Anitta.
Check out "Fuego" by DJ Snake, Sean Paul & Anitta ft. Tainy HERE.
The video for "Fuego" finds all three artists entering a dark and fiery underworld resembling an old circus, complete with mirror mazes, fire tunnels, and shadowy forests. It follows DJ Snake's bright and colorful visual for "Loco Contigo" (with J. Balvin & Tyga), a bilingual summer anthem also featured on Carte Blanche. Since premiering in June, "Loco Contigo" has amassed over 153 million streams on YouTube and emerged as one of Spotify's most streamed songs of the summer. Watch the video HERE.
A leading artist in the new generation of Latin American music, Anitta is the biggest-ever global female pop star to come from Brazil. To date, she's amassed over 40 million Instagram followers and 12-plus million YouTube subscribers, garnering more than 3.8 billion views. Named among the world's 15th most influential musicians on social media by Billboard, she released her latest album (the trilingual KISSES) in April 2019 and is now at work on her first completely English solo album.
Hailing from St. Andrew, Jamaica, dancehall superstar Sean Paul broke into the pop mainstream with his double-platinum, Grammy Award-winning 2002 album Dutty Rock. With nearly all of his albums so far nominated in the Best Reggae Album category at the Grammy Awards, his past releases also include Full Frequency — a chart-topping 2014 album featuring guest spots from such artists as Nicki Minaj and 2 Chainz. Earlier this year, he earned a nomination in the Favorite Crossover Artist category at the Latin American Music Awards.
Along with "Fuego" and "Loco Contigo," Carte Blanche includes the triple-platinum single "Taki Taki" ft. Selena Gomez, Ozuna & Cardi B (DJ Snake's second global #1 record), "Enzo" (a collaboration with Sheck Wes, featuring Offset, 21 Savage & Gucci Mane), and the India-inspired club smash "Magenta Riddim." Released in July, the album is the second full-length from DJ Snake.
About DJ Snake:
DJ Snake made his full-length debut with the 2016 album Encore, which hit #1 on Billboard's Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart and debuted in the top 10 around the world. Since scoring his first #1 with the four-times-platinum "Let Me Love You" ft. Justin Bieber, DJ Snake has achieved massive success with hits like "Get Low," "You Know You Like It," "Lean On," and "Middle." With its title translating to "the freedom to do whatever one chooses," his sophomore album Carte Blanche arrived in July 2019 and shot to #1 on Billboard's US Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart, in addition to reaching the top 50 on the Billboard 200.

Anitta has been named among the world's 15thmost influential musicians on social media by Billboard. In July 2013, she released her self-titled first album, ANITTA, which consisted of 14 new tracks most of which were written by her.

But, as Tim Walker explained to me, this couldn't be further from the truth. In fact, everyone should have a strategy - whether you're a CEO of a multibillion-dollar company, or a young artist scraping together a living, or someone in between.
Tim should know, too. He worked in senior roles at museums like Te Papa for decades, and now he works as a consultant for arts organisations. He is also a mentor on The Big Idea mentoring program. These jobs are all about strategy - setting it, tweaking it, making sure it gets done.
But it's important to think about this because then you can use it to define what kind of decisions you make over the next five, ten or more years. Focussing on the "what" doesn't achieve this, because the world will change over the next few years - it will probably change over the next few months! The mediums and tools available to you will change, peoples' preferences will change, and even the demographic makeup of society will change. Your practice will necessarily need to evolve with these changes. Having a clear sense of purpose can help you choose which direction you evolve in, and how you do so.
That all sounds great - but the devil, as always, is in the details. It's very nice to have an overall purpose, but that purpose needs to connect to the work you do every day. Otherwise, it's just words.
Tim's advice is to use your strategy to create an idea of where you'd like to be in five years. Five years is a fair while away, so your goal can be pretty ambitious. From here, you can start thinking back. If you want to be doing one thing or the other in 5 years, what do you need to be doing before that? For example, if you want to have your work displayed in a major gallery, you're probably going to have to have your work displayed in lots of minor galleries before that. That in turn means you need to be producing enough work to get into those galleries - and so on, and so forth.

is also a logo for "Alberta Corvettes" (who a few of us find out about local Alberta Corvettes Events with).
The logo is pretty cool and represents three great aspects, Alberta, Canada and Corvettes.
White and Black Vinyl Decals have just been made for inside & outside mounting as well as a coloured decal.
The decal may have appeal to many as it displays somewhat generically.
Spence, very cool are they available to purchase?
Decals: 4" Black and White, Inside window or Outside.
Always take the long way home!
The car pic is my car I bought the set and they were delivered promptly and were easy to put on. Thanks Nathan..
Those look good. Great design work!
I doubt it wold work with 306 corvettes hey. Something about a rectangle province makes it hard to tell what it is!
I have 10 of each of the Facebook Alberta Corvettes ones in Edmonton if anyone wants some. $15 each and $10 for smaller one and once Nathan recovers his costs ( half way there now ) he said the extra will be donated to a charity.
Not too bad. I like the Alberta one still though. Good luck with getting it out there... it looks great.
Maybe someone could bring a few to the Ponoka meet if there still for sale.
I can be out at times. Best to call before.
Good to know. Im way northend so maybe when i happen to be in the south....thx.

The Fair Work Ombudsman's targeted audit campaign across Australia's Hair & Beauty Industry continues to uncover illegal employment practices with the latest Salon Owner found non-compliant being based in Adelaide. The Ombudsman is now commencing litigation against the Nail Salon and this time it's for underpaying two employees and providing Fair Work Inspectors with false records of the hours their employees worked.
Penalties: As is the case when businesses are found in breach of the Fair Work Act, penalties can be imposed on both the individual business owner/s and their company. So the owner of this Nail Salon must now personally face the Federal Circuit Court and potentially pay penalties of up to $10,800 per breach, as well as his company also facing Court and maximum penalties of up to $54,000 per breach of the Act.
Fair Work inspectors investigated the nail Salon after one of the employees lodged a request for assistance.
What the Inspectors uncovered: Inspectors found that the employees were allegedly paid less than the applicable minimum 'normal' hourly rates and the minimum 'penalty' rates for weekend work as listed in the Hair and Beauty Industry Award 2010. It is alleged that the Salon owner and his company failed to apply loadings and also breached workplace laws by knowingly providing inspectors with false and misleading records that significantly understated the hours the employees had worked, creating an appearance that they had been paid much higher rates than was actually the case. The employees were allegedly underpaid $35,680 and $17,339 respectively.
A word from the Fair Work Ombudsman: The Fair Work Ombudsman, Ms Natalie James says, "This case is another chance to make it clear that the lawful obligations to pay minimum rates apply to all employees – and employers – in Australia and they are not negotiable. It is incumbent on all business owners operating in Australia to understand and apply Australian laws". Ms James reportedly welcomes the Government's commitments to enhance workplace laws to better protect workers, including increasing applicable penalties for serious record-keeping contraventions.
Employers seeking assistance can visit http://www.hrtactics.com.au/pa... to take a look at how HR Tactics can advise and assist you quickly with any concerns regarding compliance and HR matters in general.
We're always available for a free phone consult and we strongly encourage those of you who are feeling unsure or in any way concerned about your current employment practices, to contact us sooner rather than later to get some clarity around the issue/s on your mind before it's too late.


App for IBD patients for tracking their wellbeing.
With the app the patients can easily track their daily wellbeing and make notes.
Olotila app is made for IBD patients with an inflammatory bowel disease such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis.
Our role was to redesign the app, increase its usability and make reading reports easier for patients and healthcare professionals.
We interviewed doctors and nurses specialized in treating IBD and also patients suffering from IBD. We researched the important metrics doctors and nurses are following and also how and when the patients would like to use the app.
We used Google's Material Design guidelines to build the user interface, which made the app easier and more familiar (at least for most Android users) to use. Our focus was on clarity and efficiency when inputting information. A design prototype and graphs were validated with end users as well.
Part of the redesign, we rebuilt the logic and UI of the web based app with React, and moved to the latest version of Cordova-platform. This allowed us to publish the app to iOS and Android from a single code base.
In addition to general anonymized user analytics, we added an easy feedback channel for users in the app, which has allowed us to receive invaluable development suggestions from daily users.
In a single view, patients can effortlessly evaluate their own condition. The patient can decide which information to input that day.
Patients are also able to write notes about how they're feeling that day, which makes it easier to remember noteworthy details on yearly checkups.
The summary report can easily be reviewed from the display of the patient's smart device.
Clear and simple graphs help doctors and nurses to plan the treatment, and the patient to monitor and understand their own well being.
Co-operation with Taiste has been close and in line with Takeda's goals. The central focus has been on patients and their needs at all times. The work has been characterized by high quality and professionalism. The team's style of working is such that the project has been carried forward ambitiously while taking future prospects and development opportunities into account.

Q: SAS Datetime Proc SQL Hello I was wondering how would you write this code in a PROC SQL vs the data step I wrote below. I am trying to reduce the code, the data is initially in a text file unfortunately the datetime when changed to a CHAR(import wizard) is a length of 9 vs 8(computed column) which is the default, hence why i change it in the first data step. I eventually get the results I want but I would like to see if SQL could provide a more efficient solution.
data WORK.CNE_RESI;
  SET WORK.cneres_41;
  FORMAT RPTDATE_2 $CHAR9.;
  IF rptdate = '1/5/2015' THEN  RPTDATE_2 = '1/9/2015';
  ELSE IF RPTDATE_2 = "" THEN  RPTDATE_2=rptdate ;
RUN;

data WORK.CNE_RESI_2;
  SET WORK.CNE_RESI;
  FORMAT RPTDATE_3 MMDDYY10.;
  RPTDATE = input(RPTDATE_2, MMDDYY10.);
RUN;

A: Not sure if this is the right way to do it but I had a go.
%let olddate = 1/5/2015;
%let newdate = 1/9/2015;

proc sql;

create table WORK.CNE_RESI_2 as
select a.*,
case when rptdate = "&olddate" then "&newdate"
else rptdate
end as RPTDATE_2 format=$char9.,
input(case when rptdate = "&olddate" then "&newdate"
else rptdate
end,mmddyy10.) as RPTDATE_3 format=mmddyy10.
from WORK.cneres_41 a;
quit;

Of course if you didn't actually need the variable rptdate_2 and were just using that to change format then this should work.
proc sql;
    create table WORK.CNE_RESI_2 as
    select a.*,
    input(case when rptdate = "&olddate" then "&newdate"
          else rptdate
          end,mmddyy10.) as RPTDATE_3 format=mmddyy10.
from WORK.cneres_41 a;
quit;

A: Your ultimate question is:

I eventually get the results I want but I would like to see if SQL
  could provide a more efficient solution.

The reason that your DATA steps seem inefficient is that you make two complete passes over the data.  There's no reason for that in this case, and a single DATA step is likely to be at least as efficient as SQL for your example.  Also, placing the format statement above the set statement will redefine the length of rptdate without the need for an intermediate variable.  With these thoughts in mind, your two DATA steps could be more efficiently written as:
data WORK.CNE_RESI;
    format rptdate $char10. rptdate_n mmddyy10.;
    set WORK.cneres_41;

    if rptdate = '1/05/2015' then rptdate = '1/09/2015';
    rptdate_n = input(rptdate, ?? MMDDYY10.);
run;

Allocation of fossil CO2 emission rights quantifying cultural perspectives
Marco Janssen, Jan Rotmans
Cultural perspectives play an important role in framing international climate policy. The concept we have introduced is designed to enable quantification of the influence of such cultural perspectives on the allocation of fossil CO2 emission rights. A model is presented which allocates future emission rights to world regions. An emission budget which incorporates an historical component is defined for the specific period which is required if climate change policy targets are to be met. Allocation of the budget to regions is based on a weighted mix of indicators such as population size, GNP and energy consumption. Subtracting historical emissions results in future regional emission rights. Uncertainties in the selection of parameter values for the model and in generating scenarios of future developments are here regarded as being related to cultural perspectives. We have assumed that cultural perspectives can be quantified by reference to distributions of preferred parameter values and preferred future scenarios. Distributions of regional emission rights biased towards preferred allocations as determined by the perspectives can thus be described. In fact, the proposed approach envisages an uncertainty analysis based on the characteristics of cultural perspectives.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Wednesday opened a consular office at the Hamid Karzai International Airport, formerly known as Kabul Airport, to issue visas to foreign nationals, particularly investors on arrival in a move to boost business.
Deputy Foreign Minister Attiqullah Atifmal, who inaugurated the new scheme, said the facility was aimed at attracting foreign investors and facilitating those entering the country.
He added visas would be granted to diplomats, UN and other international organizations' staff, journalists and athletes through the newly-opened office.
"We have set up this facility for nationals in countries where Afghanistan does not have its embassy or consulate," he said.


Our Walker EMT Team would like everyone to be prepared ahead of time, for any medical/ emergency situation. Follow the list below to prepare you, your loved ones, and your home.
Can an ambulance park close to the house? Can a neighbor move a car for you?
Can the Med. team get a stretcher in your home? Are the stairs cleared, furniture moved so we can get through? Which door would make it easier?
Have a list of the medications you take. We will want to take the medications with you to the hospital most of the time.
Have a list of your allergies to medications, and your medical history written down. I can't tell you how many times patience "forget" to tell us they're diabetic or have a past heart condition.
Have a list of phone numbers of family or friends that you want notified, that you're in the hospital. Even though you know the number by heart, when we're stressed, we can forget!
If you had all of the above in one place, how easy it would be to scoop it all up and take it with you.
Let us know you have pets, so we can ask someone to take care of them.
When you see the ambulance leave with the patient, please don't let the remaining family member drive to the hospital alone, even if it's in the middle of the night, go with them…..you'll earn your "angel wings".
And remember……if calling EMT (911) after dark, put on all lights in the house and yard, if possible, and call a neighbor to direct our EMT's to the site with a flashlight.
Be sure your house numbers are at the end of your driveway, in plain site, and readable.


What's the difference between translating and interpreting?
Translation is the conversion of text from one language into another. The "target text," or "translation" communicates the same message. Interpreting is the intellectual activity that consists of facilitating oral or sign language communication, either simultaneously or consecutively, between people who do not speak or sign the same language.
What languages do you interpret for?
From Afrikaans to Zulu, we offer experienced interpreters for any language pair in the world.
What's the difference between simultaneous and consecutive interpreting?
Simultaneous interpretation (also known as conference interpretation, or real-time interpreting) is when the speaker's voice is interpreted without interruption as he/she is speaking. The interpreter listens to one language and speaks in another, simultaneously, the two voices speaking at once. Research has shown that 23 cognitive skills are involved in simultaneous interpreting. Simultaneous interpretation usually requires specific sound equipment.
In consecutive interpreting, the interpreter waits until the speaker completes an idea (a passage of speech, a sentence, a shorter part of a speech, or logical unit) and translates it into the foreign language. Therefore, consecutive interpretation requires pauses between passages for the interpretation to be spoken. First the interpreter listens to the entire phrase then she/he interprets it into the desired language.
Sight translation is an oral translation of a written text.
Are your interpreters specialized in our industry terminology?
Yes. Our interpreters have extensive experience in tailoring their interpretations to your needs. We provide interpretation services for many different fields in every language in any city in the world. If you use specialized terminology, please discuss this with your customer service representative upfront. We may request that you provide us with additional information to help our interpreters familiarize themselves with your industry.
Where can you provide interpreters?
We can provide you with an interpreter in any city in the world. We can also provide multiple interpreters and booths for large conferences, wherever they are.
How do you select interpreters for my specific needs?
All our language professionals are qualified, accredited, and/or hold linguistic degrees. When Day Translations selects an interpreter for you, we make sure that they have the language expertise as well as the in-depth technical experience to perfectly fit your needs.
Interpretation service fees vary greatly based on the language requested, the type of interpreter you need, the experience of the interpreter, their training and certification, the complexity of the assignment, the duration of the appointment, and the appointment location. Please contact us with the details of your project.


Road accidents take a heavy toll of people more so on Kashmir highway during the chilly months of winter and consequently road safety attracts the attention of the people at the helm in transport and traffic department . Unfortunately the concerns of road safety don't go beyond the conduct of road safety weeks by the traffic police and motor vehicles department. Though successive governments promised much but did little to lessen the risks on the roads in all the three regions of the state. Irony of the fact is that after looking at the figures of road accident deaths we experience that s roads accidents have claimed more lives than militancy related incident during last 20 years in the state . If the official reports are to be believed undeniable fact is that more than 280 persons have been killed last year in road accidents in Kashmir valley. Interestingly the number of road accident deaths in Jammu region, especially on its killer roads in the hilly belts of Chenab Valley and the twin border districts of Rajouri and Poonch is usually much higher than Kashmir valley. Despite public outcry against the unchecked rise in the no of road accident deaths over the period of years, the Jammu & Kashmir Government does not bother to talk about the pressing issue of road safety unless and until some tragic road accident results in the deaths of dozens of people in one or the other part of the state. Issuing a statement of sympathy with the bereaved families and paying ex-gratia relief of few thousands or even lacs does not sent out a message that the government is deeply concerned on the failures of road safety measures presently in place in the state. In fact the failures of traffic regulation authorities in implementing road safety measures are the real issues of grave concern for the people but the state government is not paying heed to public outcry on this count.
A comprehensive policy to check road accidents would require a system of check and balances to ensure better traffic management in Jammu & Kashmir state .
The job of ensuring road safety cannot be left to occasionally conceived measures like the one named " celebrating road safety week" . In fact celebrating road safety week demands focused attention of the government on road safety measures including curbs on rash driving and overcrowding of passengers in passenger vehicles. Though flaws have been detected in the system of roads, transport and traffic regulation, but efforts are not made rectify the wrongs detected in the system of roads, transport and traffic regulation. To make the road safety measures a success that government has an institutional and administrative responsibility to improve the condition of roads across the length and breadth of the state. The irregularities found in the the fixation of route permits for passenger buses and the procedures for issuance of driving licenses are the other two issues which should attract the attention of traffic management expert of the government . Above all adequate mechanisms for regulating traffic with focus on indiscipline and traffic violations also deserves the immediate attention of the traffic management system of the state government. A comprehensive policy to check road accidents would require a system of check and balances to ensure better traffic management in Jammu & Kashmir state . These steps need to be taken, without any further delay so that innocent lives are not lost on killer roads in the state.

Q: Joining one table multiple times with null FKs In a situation where I have two tables:

*

*Games(id, player1Id, player2Id)

*Players(id, gender)

And I would like to select all of the games and the player's gender, how would I get around null playerIds?
From this explanation, I would think the answer would be:
SELECT Games.id, p1.gender, p2.gender
FROM Games JOIN Players p1 on player1Id = p1.id
JOIN Players p2 on player2Id = p2.id

However, this does not return any game that has either player1Id or player2Id as null. Is there a way to show all games with players connected when possible?
Thanks.

A: You need to use a LEFT JOIN:
   SELECT g.id, p1.gender, p2.gender
     FROM Games g
LEFT JOIN Players p1 ON p1.id = g.player1Id
LEFT JOIN Players p2 on p2.id = g.player2Id

Here's a really good link that visual demonstrates the different JOINs

Genealogical research has become easier, more prevalent, and increasingly popular in the past several years, since the advent of internet access. Tracing your family tree from leaves to roots is a fun, addictive, and rewarding experience.
In order to join our Society, you need to document your direct lineage from a Mayflower passenger. Although it may take some time to complete this task, your search is aided by a myriad of resources, and the foundation laid by those who searched before you.
For the beginner, we recommend you start with the living. Interviews with parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and other family members may provide the facts and clues you need. The four most recent generations in your family's history can probably be documented by collecting records in the family archives. They may be in an old aunt's attic. They may be in your father's basement. Or, they may be in the possession of some family member who showed vague signs of genealogical interest before you came along; and thereby collected valuable records which were never reviewed. Lay your hands on these items first and document all the names, dates and places of your life, up to the lives of your great-grandparents. With this you will have laid an important foundation. Do this before you concentrate too heavily on one line.
When you have the preceding data, you may want to acquire software to record your genealogical information. There are many different brands. Use whatever suits you. Also, be sure to make photocopies of everything. The word of your relatives is many times inaccurate, and true hereditary research is validated only in actual, primary sources. This would include birth, death and marriage certificates, as well as vital records, church records, family bibles, land records, probate records and town records. Like most hereditary societies, The Colorado Society of Mayflower Descendants accepts only primary documented sources.
When you have your primary lines (you should have eight established if possible), then choose the line you want to track and begin your work. By now you will have an idea what part of the country from whence these people came. Generally, the next two or three lines back can be more difficult than those which are even older. The late nineteenth century saw much travel, and poor record-keeping in some areas. If your family stayed in the east, you should have very little problem obtaining the documents you seek. Write to the vital records departments at the city, county and state levels for about five to ten specific documents you would like to obtain. Be as specific as possible and include the correct payment. At this point, it is also wise to search the census records between the years of 1850 and 1900. Before 1850, national census records included only heads of households. The latter half of that century included all family members.
Plan a trip to a large library in your region and spend a few days acquiring documentation when you have as much as you are able to secure from writing to various vital records departments. You may need to continue writing, but it is wise to check a variety of sources. There will be a librarian at the library who probably knows how to educate you in genealogical library research. Listen carefully to them. In addition, locate the LDS research center in your area. The Mormon Church is a wonderful resource for ordering all sorts of records.
Remember, what you are looking for is an actual record or photocopy of an original record. This is your proof of the line. An old story handed down verbally is family lore. Notes jotted down by an old aunt may simply be very, very old family lore. The records probably exist…it is your mission to find them. There is no greater reward in genealogical research than to find the missing link in a family line, and to have the documentation in-hand.
Online resources are good because they are easy to use in the comfort of your home, and they may give you some direction when you actually track down the true records. Remember though, printing off genealogical records from the internet is little more than printing off clues for your mission. The person who put the information there may be reciting the lore of an old aunt of their own. You just don't know.
Below are the three best sites for genealogical research, in my opinion. Don't get lost roaming their catacombs. Happy Hunting!


No Mike Williams. No Eugene Omoruyi. The best team in the Big Ten. Rutgers never should've had a chance.
But somehow it did, as the Rutgers men's basketball team fought tooth and nail with No. 3 Purdue in front of a sold-out Rutgers Athletic Center (RAC), despite falling by a final score of 78-76.
The RAC was as loud as it's ever been and the Scarlet Knights fed off that energy, putting on a show the 8,325-person capacity crowd.
Junior guard Corey Sanders' 31 points were the most he has ever scored in regulation and his offensive showcase kept a shorthanded Rutgers group in the game for all 40 minutes.
By the time the clock showed double zeroes, the Boilermakers had escaped with the win, but the scoreline proved that when the RAC is packed, anything can happen.
"We can play with anybody when we play like that, when we follow the game plan and execute and these guys play really well, it makes us really much tougher to play," said head coach Steve Pikiell of the effort.
Due to the injuries to Williams and Omoruyi, Pikiell was forced to go deep into his bench -- about as deep as he could possibly go. Walk-ons Jake Dadika and Luke Nathan each saw time, with Dadika getting minutes in the late second half and Nathan getting his first action that wasn't at the end of a blowout.
Pikiell was once again forced to use Matt Bullock, who didn't even play in the blowout wins early in the season due to the fact that he was simply not in shape. Despite not looking any different than he did in the early portion of the schedule, Bullock played a career-high 17 minutes.
Bullock did put forth a workmanlike effort, scoring 6 points and grabbing 6 rebounds -- including 2 offensive boards -- as well as dishing out an assist and making both of his foul shots. While he clearly wasn't Pikiell's optimal choice to play that much time, he played as hard as he could.
"Everyone needed to step up...Everyone came off the bench -- Shaq (Doorson) gave us good minutes, Candido (Sa) gave us good minutes and Matt (Bullock)," Pikiell said. "Everyone has to chip in and do their thing. Especially being down two of our most versatile guys... We don't have that versatility coming off our bench."
Considering the combinations of players that Pikiell had on the floor during Saturday's game, it was nothing short of miraculous that the Knights were not only able to stay competitive, but turn an 11-point halftime deficit into just 1 point numerous times in the second half.
There's just something about a sold-out RAC. Rutgers wasn't supposed to beat Seton Hall, was supposed to get blown out by Michigan State and had no business playing this Purdue team to the final whistle.
Sanders and true freshman guard Geo Baker conveyed that the team was playing with an extra edge tonight after two straight blowout losses, including a 31-point thrashing against last-place Illinois.
Baker described that game as 'embarrassing' and made it clear that he and the rest of the team took it to heart.
Sanders looked just as energized, as he went into takeover mode against the Boilermakers with his 31 points, including 21 in the second half alone.
"Our last two outings we weren't very proud of," Sanders said. "...Everybody had an extra chip on their shoulder. I think we came out and executed the game plan...We just came up short."
While the result wasn't what Rutgers wanted, it showed the continued progress that has taken progress under Steve Pikiell. The consistency isn't there and injuries certainly don't help, but the program is moving in the right direction.
Purdue head coach Matt Painter said he expected the same Rutgers team that upset Seton Hall in December to show up on Saturday and he was right. Corey Sanders took over, the defense locked up, but unlike that game, the Knights came up just short.
"Coach (Pikiell) is always telling us to take every game personal," Baker said. "We felt like we didn't really come out and compete last game. Like Corey said earlier, we all had an extra chip on our shoulder this game."


Get the same suspension Amateur National Champion and Factory KTM supported Ciaran Naran uses. After hours upon hours of engineering, testing, and development; Race Tech has created the ultimate mini bike suspension packages available.
RT Hi-Performance Springs are extremely lightweight and the first important step to a proper setup. Gold Valve Kits for Forks and Shocks are designed to dial in the internal damping characteristics.

For selected models other damping options are available. Up front G2-R Cartridge Kits provide a drastically improved feel and at the rear G3-S Custom Series Shocks provide a custom setup with guaranteed performance.
Race Tech's award winning Gold Valve Kits for Forks and Shocks provide a personalized setup. Gold Valves have an improved flow design that dramatically reduces harshness while actually increasing bottoming resistance (as shown with data acquisition). These Kits can be installed by individuals interested in understanding and tuning their own suspension or they can be installed by a Race Tech Center or Race Tech's Service Department. The Kits include Valving Charts and Valving Shims to allow a custom setup for a specific rider and conditions.
Race Tech's G3-S Custom Series Shocks for mini bikes are custom built for the rider. These shocks have been tested by top mini bike riders in all types of conditions all over the world. Engineered to be ultra-durable and tested on the track to shave seconds off your lap times; these shocks are state-of-the-art.
Available for 2009-2011 KTM 65s, the G2-R Cartridge Kit is the most technology-advanced fork kit on the market. Proven on the track by winning an NMA Amateur National Championship in its debut with factory KTM supported Ciaran Naran, this kit is 100% guaranteed to improve the performance of your KTM 65. This is the high-end option. Gold Valve Fork Kits are available if price is a consideration.

Race Tech has teamed up with MotoConcepts to offer special edition Race Tech MotoStands directly through Race Tech! MotoStands are injection molded, light-weight, and the strongest stands on the market holding over 3000 lbs. Each stand comes equipped with a tough non-slip rubber top and custom Race Tech decal kit.
"I like Race Tech Suspension because it is always the same every time I get it done. I tell them that I want to be able to jump a big jump, and they are able to make the suspension do it for me!"
Tested on the track by some of the top 50 riders in the world, Race Tech offers an amazing suspension package for the Cobras. The stock suspension is over-sprung for most riders without enough valving. This leads to a bouncy feel that doesn't track or turn as well as it can.
Because mini bikes are light weight, the rider makes up a large percentage of the total mass making spring rates and personalized valving extremely crucial.
RT Hi-Performance Springs with the proper rates are a must for both front and rear. ►Find your recommended springs and spring rates.
The Gold Valve Fork Kit offered for this model includes both compression and rebound valves, along with personalized valving stacks for the compression, rebound and mid-valve. Gold Valves along with a custom valving setup is guaranteed to improve bottoming resistance and decrease harshness.
Race Tech offers a Shock Gold Valve Kit for Cobra 50s. This kit includes a Gold Valve and custom valving tailored to each rider's needs to provide more traction, a consistent feel, and increased bottoming resistance.
Through testing with top amateur mini riders like factory Cobra supported Hunter Yoder, we've found that the stock bumpers shred within a few rides; even as soon as a couple of laps! Race Tech uses a special poly-urethane foam, built to last and with stand the abuse of even the fastest 50cc pilots. The Cobra 50cc Shock Bottom Out Bumpers are in stock and available now from Race Tech.
In 2011, Race Tech Suspension came stock on the KTM 50 SXS with Emulators up front and a G3-S shock on the rear. Unfortunately it appears these units may have been a bit too pricey for continued production. However, the research and development from this model has allowed us to put together an industry-leading suspension package for all KTM 50 models.
The stock KTM 50 forks come with old-fashioned orifice style damping rods. This type of fork is notorious for harshness over sharp bumps and on hard landings. On the rear, the absence of a progressive spring and proper damping results in harshness over small bumps as well as not enough bottoming resistance.
Due to the fact that the rider makes up a large part of the overall load on a mini-bikes' suspension, proper spring rates are extremely important for the forks and shock on the KTM 50. RT Hi-Performance Springs are available for the forks while P-Series Progressive Springs are used on the shock. The progressive shock spring drastically improves plushness over small bumps while increasing bottoming resistance.►Find your recommended springs and spring rates.

Nah that's the ghost of Abraham Lincoln come back to collect all the birds.
Either these are seriously strapped in or this is photo shopped. Don't understand how these wouldn't be falling out all over the road.
Not a hoarder an idiot.
Definitely an idiot. I drive a 97 Toyota Camry to collect birds as a charger and I have managed to get 18, yes 18 scooters in it while still being able to close all windows, doors, and the trunk. I had to remove the rear seats to facilitate this, but it can be done. Not gonna happen if you've got more than one or two Electisans in there, though.

Better days ahead for region's airlines
The last 12 months have not been the best of times for Asia-Pacific airlines, but the International Air Transport Association (IATA) believes 2020 will be better. Despite higher forecast profits for the world's carriers, the devil could be in the detail with some problematic global issues a long way from resolution. Associate editor and chief correspondent, Tom Ballantyne, reports from Geneva.
Despite trade wars, fragile global economic conditions and political unrest in several cities across the globe, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) has forecast airlines worldwide will turn in a collective net profit of US$29.3 billion in 2020, up from $25.9 billion in 2019. Read More »
If correct, it will be the industry's 11th consecutive year in the black. IATA also forecast the struggling air freight sector would grow by 2% in the next 12 months.
IATA said airlines were expected to earn a return on invested capital of 6%, up from 5.7% last year and also report a lift in net profit margins to 3.4%, from 3.1%. Average net profit per passenger was predicted to increase to $6.20, from $5.70, with overall performance boosted by a decline in the average price of fuel.
"Slower than expected global economic growth in 2019 contributed to lower energy demand, with crude oil prices averaging around $65 per barrel (Brent), compared with $71.60 in 2018. Oil supply also is plentiful, which boosted inventories. As a result, oil prices are expected to dip in 2020 to $63 (Brent) per barrel," said IATA's chief economist Brian Pearce. "The forecast industry fuel bill of $182 billion will represent 22.1% of expenses, down from $188 billion, or 23.7% of expenses, in 2019."
Speaking at IATA's Global Media Days in Geneva in early December, Pearce said Asia-Pacific carriers would experience a modest recovery in world trade and air cargo. The association forecasts the region's airlines would produce a $6 billion net profit in 2020, compared with $4.9 billion in 2019, and earn a 2.2% net margin for the coming year.
Asia remains the manufacturing centre of the world and revenues from transporting much of those goods are a significant proportion of sales for many of the region's airlines, IATA said.
"But the trade war is assumed just to be on hold. Trade tariffs are not reversed. Consequently, the rise in trade and cargo volumes is moderate. The net profit per passenger is anticipated at $3.34," it said.
IATA director general and CEO, Alexandre de Juniac, said a combination of various global factors had created a tougher than anticipated business environment for airlines. "Yet the industry managed to achieve a decade in the black, as restructuring and cost-cutting continued to pay dividends. It appears 2019 will be the bottom of the current economic cycle and the forecast for 2020 is somewhat brighter," he said.
"The big question for 2020 is how capacity will develop, particularly when, as expected, grounded 737 MAX aircraft return to service and delayed deliveries arrive."
IATA urges crackdown on shippers illegally transporting counterfeit lithium batteries
Consumer demand for lithium batteries is growing by 17% a year, with the number of incidents involving mis-declared or under-declared batteries transported as air cargo also rising as a result of demand, said IATA.
"Dangerous goods, including Lithium batteries, are safe to transport if managed according to international regulations and standards," IATA said. "but we are seeing an increase in the number of incidents in which rogue shippers are not complying.
"The industry is uniting, including the Global Shippers Forum and the International Federation of Freight Forwarders Association, to raise awareness of the need to comply. This includes the launching of an incident reporting tool so information about rogue shippers is shared.
"And we are asking governments to get much tougher with fines and penalities," IATA said.
Currently, air cargo is scanned for items that pose a risk to security such as explosives but not for safety such as lithium batteries.
Given the state of the market, the modest optimistic projections for 2020 may come as a surprise to the industry, but Pearce said IATA's working assumption for the forecast is similar to those of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the Word Trade Organization (WTO).
The prediction is that ahead of the U.S. elections in November 2020, there will be "a truce" in the U.S./Sino trade war, with no reduction in existing tariffs but with no additional tariffs implemented. "If so, then stronger economic growth in 2020 will produce a modest rise in international trade growth, from 0.9% in 2019 to 3.3% in 2020," said Pearce. This trend, he said, would be moderately supportive for the air cargo business.
Pearce delivered other news that was not quite as welcome as the 2020 profit forecast. He said only a relatively small number of airlines had driven an improvement in aggregate industry level profitability. Remarkably, while IATA has nearly 300 members, ranking carriers by economic profit showed only around 30 carriers had been responsible for improvements in profits in the last ten years.
"There is a long tail of airlines barely breaking even and a group making significant losses," he said. "For this long tail of airlines, performance has not improved in the past decade. This is why there has been a series of airline failures in the past two years, despite relatively good financial results at the aggregate industry level. There is work to be done to move the industry into a more financially sustainable position."
IATA did not identify individual airlines that are struggling, but examples in the Asia-Pacific include Malaysia Airlines, Thai Airways International, Garuda Indonesia and Air India.
IATA said air traffic growth would continue but at a slower pace than the historical average in the short-term. Passenger numbers are expected to reach 4.72 billion in 2020, up 4.0% or 4.54 billion, from 2019.
Freight tonnes carried will recover to 62.4 million, a 2.0% increase over the 61.2 million tonnes carried in 2019 – the lowest result in three years. Stronger economic growth should support passenger traffic (RPKs) growth of 4.1%, similar to 2019 at 4.2%, but below historical trends.
At the annual Global Media Days, it was clear IATA is putting a renewed focus on environmental issues. De Juniac said airlines had done a good job with their sustainability achievements but repeated his belief they had not done so well in getting the good news out to the general public.
IATA has asked the European Union to support aviation's energy transition to sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) as part of the bloc's recently launched Green Deal.
"Aviation has high hopes for the European Commission's Green Deal. We want to be part of Europe's building of a new energy economy. We will do everything we can to make sustainable aviation fuels a priority for aviation in Europe and around the world," said de Juniac, who recently took part in a Sustainable Innovation Forum that ran alongside the UN COP25 Climate Talks in Madrid.
Since SAF were certified for commercial use in 2009, more than 215,000 flights have taken off using some blend of this low carbon fuel. The industry believed achieving 2% of global jet fuel from non-fossil sources by 2025 could create a tipping point for production and cost of SAF. The 14 production facilities operating, under construction or in the final stages of financing and planning would take the industry a long way towards the 2% goal, IATA said.
"More progress is needed. Aviation should be a policy priority because it does not have a near-term electrification option. Traditional energy suppliers must prioritize investment in SAF," de Juniac said.
IATA emphasised SAF were critical to the industry's long-term efforts to cut its emissions to half 2005 levels by 2050. The industry's strategy to achieve this goal includes significant investment in new technology aircraft, research into electric and hybrid propulsion, programs to improve operational efficiency, and the world's first global sectoral climate mechanism, CORSIA (Carbon Offsetting Reduction Scheme for International Aviation).
Industry's new gender balance initiative attracts 59 airlines
IATA's 25by2025 gender balance in aviation campaign, launched in September this year, has recruited 59 airlines to its cause, representing 30.24% of passenger traffic. The 59 signatories are Europe (36), Asia-Pacific (10), the Americas (7) and Africa and the Middle East (6).
The goal of 25by2025 is to increase the number of women in senior airline positions to a minimum of 25% against current metrics and to apply the same goals for women in under-represented jobs at airlines, including cockpit crew, operations and MRO.


The Justice Department recently approved CVS's mega $69b purchase of Aetna, conditioned on Aetna's sell-off of its private Medicare drug plans. In addition to owning almost 10,000 retail stores in the U.S., CVS provides drug plans to more than 90 million people. It plans to use its pharmacy locations to provide consumers with more local care options, repurposing portions of its stores to become community health centers.
Companies across the healthcare spectrum are searching for ways to squeeze costs and bolster their leverage against other players in the food chain. That is creating opportunities, but also new fault lines as new threats like Amazon and Wal-Mart loom.
The Justice Department's approval came recently after it cleared Cigna insurance's $50b purchase of Express Scripts. This deal-making represent how the lines between traditional segments in health care are blurring as companies, saddled with mature businesses and in many cases restricted from buying rivals, enter new areas.
After the merger, CVS can segregate Aetna's 22 million insurance subscribers, so they get primary care treatment and medications at their own pharmacies. CVS can offer lower drug prices in its "preferred pharmacy network," or even grant exclusivity to its locations so Aetna customers can only access drugs at their local CVS. This would obviously hurt competing pharmacies, who have already felt CVS Caremark's pressure in reduced reimbursements for numerous prescription drugs.
At a higher level, the pharmaceutical industry is bifurcating. The vast majority of people can be treated with generic drugs at a very low cost; the more complex part of the market involves high priced specialty drugs that treat patients with complicated conditions or needs for a personalized medicine, genomic approach. CVS Caremark, Express Scripts, and OptumRx have dominated the PBM market with enormous resources and opaque pricing policies. But with the mergers, Congressional pressure to offer more pricing transparency, and the new market dynamics, PBMs will need to evolve into contoured, publicly-acceptable fits within the specialty drug market.


Aide for Animals Sanctuary is a small No-Kill, Limited Admission, non-profit, 501(c)(3) animal welfare organization, adoption center, assisted living & retirement home for healthy (non contagious), domestic cats and dogs.
There are many once unwanted animals that depend solely on us for their food and medical attention, living out their lives at our shelter; some are disabled or "special needs." We are dedicated to giving these animals a loving home where they can live out their lives in a safe and comfortable environment. We use the spay/neuter program, NOT euthanasia, as population control and consider a disability only a challenge.
Giving these animals a new chance at life has been very rewarding for us and space permitting, helps free neighborhoods of unwanted animals. We depend on our own resources and the kindness and generosity of people who support our ideals to make this possible.
Please, join with us in making our shelter an even safer and better sanctuary for our animals by donating to our cause.
We believe in the principles that guided St. Francis of Assisi, the patron Saint of Animals.
No-Kill is a comprehensive and far reaching movement for animal-shelter reform with the goal of ending the systematic killing of healthy and treatable animals in our nation's shelters. There are many opinions on the meaning of no-kill; our policy is defined by the notion that every second of life is precious whereby no animal will ever be euthanized for any reason other than to alleviate the animal's suffering or because the animal is extremely vicious or could pose a health or safety risk. This very serious decision would only be made after the most extensive and careful evaluation by our veterinarian and staff and as an absolute last resort.
Animals are not euthanized because there isn't enough space at the shelter, as population control, because the animal is sick, handicapped, unattractive, or if it has correctable (and sometimes uncorrectable) behavioral problems. These animals may be juvenile, geriatric, deaf, blind, disfigured, disabled or in need of medical attention.
Healthy feral cats and dogs may not be socialized or "adoptable" yet, can live out their lives with the help of society or in a safe and controlled environment in a sanctuary or a No-Kill shelter. Others, like free-living, unsocialized ("feral") cats, need TNR or Trap Neuter and Release. With the help of dedicated caretakers this enables them to live out their lives in colonies without the possibility of having unwanted litters.

John Edward Christopher Hill, född den 6 februari 1912 i York, död den 23 februari 2003 i Oxfordshire, var en engelsk marxistisk historiker.

Året efter sin examen 1934 vistades Hill tio månader i Moskva, där han lärde sig ryska och studerade sovjetisk historisk forskning, särskilt gällande Storbritannien. Efter återkomsten till England 1936 arbetade han som lektor i Wales, och vid denna tid försökte han gå med i den internationella brigaden som slogs i Spanska inbördeskriget, men godtogs ej. Istället hjälpte han aktivt baskiska flyktingar som sökt undkomma kriget. Snart därefter, 1938, återkom han till Universitetet i Oxford, där han studerat, som lektor i historia.

Omkring 1940, då han var verksam i brittiska armén, började han publicera artiklar om 1600-talets England, och han deltog i en livlig debatt bland marxistiska historiker. 1946 bildade Hill och andra marxistiska historiker Communist Party Historians Group. Han lämnade kommunistpartiet 1957.
