In these circumstances there is a total dissimilitude between him and a king of Great Britain, who is an hereditary monarch, possessing the crown as a patrimony descendible to his heirs forever; but there is a close analogy between him and a governor of New York, who is elected for three years, and is re-eligible without limitation or intermission.
122) The court, however, ultimately was unwilling to toll the statute of limitations for almost forty years, but the descendible nature of both copyright and right of publicity has on several occasions provided the opportunity for an heir to combat discrimination suffered by the decedent.
Recognizes the principles underlying the right of publicity by providing for a descendible and transferable right of publicity for a fixed term after death without regard to whether their right was exploited during a person's lifetime[;] 4.
The federal government established copyright law as another descendible postmortem right to provide the individual a short-term monopoly over his or her creative works.
In 1984, the California legislature created a new statutory right of publicity that echoed the previous right of publicity statutes but made the right descendible to the heirs and assignees of the deceased.
Copyright protection: the force could not keep Han Solo alive, but can it protect him from authors' derivative works?

Why we fundraise
Dancing to Heal the World
Ongoing conflict in Ethiopia's Tigray region has displaced more than 1.7 million people. Beile and her children: Senai, Abiah and Danait decided they needed to help. The children performed their own dancing and singing routines to collect donations and raised $650. "The sweetest thing they did," smiles Beile, "is that they had piggy banks with some coins, and they emptied them into the fundraising jar before they started asking for donations from others."
Honey Helpers: Teen and Bees
Rico is a rising high school senior and an experienced beekeeper who put his honeybees to work. Inspired by Save the Children's work in Ukraine, Europe's largest honey producing country, Rico raised more than $5,000 by giving each donor a jar of his summer honey harvest. 100% of the donations went directly to Save the Children's Emergency Relief Fund.
"If even the humble honeybee can help Save the Children, then surely each of us can too," says Rico.
4 Wheels, 4 Paws, 4 Good
COVID-19 had many repercussions for U.S. families, including, for some, their first experience with hunger. Mark Roberts decided to take action. Mark went on an 8-week journey across Massachusetts in his electric wheelchair with his dog and wife. They rolled to raise awareness and more than $100,000! "I have to say that I had so much fun, learned so much about so many people from across the political and economic spectrum. My Roll/Stroll restored a bit of my faith in humanity," says Mark.
Tessa Bakes for Ukraine's Kids
Tessa, from Connecticut, raised $2,000 for Save the Children's Ukraine Relief effort and is proud to help the children there as they try to stay safe during the war. Tessa says, "Helping others is a gift, not only to them, but to yourself, knowing that you are doing good for the world." Tessa wanted to send a message that people should be grateful for what they have and do what they can to help others. Tessa used her passion for baking to support children in Ukraine by baking scratch-made apple tortes.
Middle Schoolers Hike4ACause
Students at Magellan Middle School started "Hike4ACause" to raise money to help Afghan refugee children. Students were asked to get a sponsor to contribute for each mile hiked. 70 students hiked 538 miles raising $6,387.96!
"We are very grateful for the opportunity our community had to make a meaningful contribution to the lives of young refugees," said Nicolas Puga.

Customer Service via Mobile Messenger Part 1: Direct Line to the Customer
The number of users of messaging apps is only going one way: upwards. They are consequently becoming ever more interesting as a communication channel between businesses and customers. Especially as a preferred private alternative to the more public nature of social media. In a short series of articles, we are showing the pros and cons for the relevant apps, the success factors that must be considered, and what customer service via messenger may look like in practice.
Messaging app use is growing at an annual rate of ten percent: In 2016, the number of monthly active users was close to 1.6 billion worldwide according to data from Statista; this will have grown to an estimated 2.5 billion by 2021. The major players in the market are WhatsApp with 1.5 billion monthly active users and Facebook Messenger, with 1.3 billion monthly active users, as well as WeChat. While the latter provider currently "only" has around one billion monthly active users, it is China's unchallenged top dog – not least because this app is much more than just a messenger.
There are also regional preferences where WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger are concerned: in most European countries and in Latin America, WhatsApp is most popular; in the USA, France, and the UK, users mostly prefer Facebook Messenger. But why do people like to communicate via messengers? There are several reasons:
Similar to e-mails or SMS, messaging is asynchronous. A conversation can be initiated and continued whenever it suits you.
A conversation can be picked up at any time, as previous messages are saved in the thread. This means you don't have to repeat a previous enquiry.
The apps offer additional functions to be integrated, such as location sharing, mobile payments, personal discount coupons and even boarding passes.
Emojis, images, animated GIFs, voice recordings, and videos provide ample opportunity for expression.
And most of all: it is a convenient way of communication on the device that you have with you at all times: your mobile phone.
Consequently, messaging apps are also extremely interesting for customer communication. A study conducted by Facebook showed that 67 percent of users expect that they will make increasing use of messaging apps to contact businesses in the years to come.
WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger? The pros and cons.
But which messenger should you choose? If you are not servicing customers in China, WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger are the most widely used messaging apps. While both apps are owned by Facebook, each has its advantages and disadvantages.
WhatsApp pros:
WhatsApp has the largest number of daily active users in numerous markets
It only requires a telephone number; brands do not need to have a Facebook page
End-to-end encryption is standard
WhatsApp cons:
The app is not offering an official interface to integrate with 3rd party interaction management tools. Current services are provided using application programming interfaces (APIs) that are not supported by WhatsApp.
WhatsApp may block the used number and therefore the communication channel if it detects suspect activities that violate their Terms of Service.
Please note: WhatsApp launched the WhatsApp Business app for Android in multiple markets in January 2018 targeted at small and medium businesses. However, this app does not allow use by multiple agents at the same time, which is necessary for customer service operations.
Facebook Messenger pros:
Facebook is the leading social network globally
Offers an official interface to integrate with 3rd party interaction management tools
Messenger for business program ensures continuous development of functionalities aimed at supporting businesses, including chatbots.
Facebook Messenger cons:
End-to-end encryption is optional
Brands need a Facebook page (and therefore to actively manage this) to activate Facebook Messenger
Arvato CRM Solutions is providing customer service solutions via messengers like WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and WeChat for several clients. You will find out more about the success factors of such projects and practical examples in the further course of this series.

Now it has become very easy to make a web page by yourself with all the charge-free web layouts that are available on the web along with free software applications that are good even for newcomers. Hence, lots of new web sites are being created every day, including blogs - where the moderator can touch upon different topics that come to mind, and image galleries - where everybody can share images and the stories behind them on the web. These web sites must be hosted someplace and one wise web hosting choice is a VPS hosting.
VPS signifies Virtual Private Server and it works like a dedicated hosting server in terms of management since you are given complete root-level access with an option to restart the VPS remotely. The VPS hosting shares resources with other virtual private hosting servers that are accommodated on the very same physical server. This is reflected in the very affordable price, which is a lot lower than that of a dedicated server and is actually more related to shared web hosting packages in terms of prices.
Windows VPS hosting - a VPS web hosting server platform running Windows that will allow software applications which need Windows to run smoothly to be activated on the private virtual hosting server.
Linux VPS hosting - a VPS server system running Linux is the more commonly used type that you can chance on on the World Wide Web as it is more affordable to create and maintain and hence it is more sought after.
VPS hosting reseller - the reseller purchases a Virtual Private Server and starts offering shared website hosting plans that are hosted on the virtual web server. It is comparable to the regular reseller hosting packages, but here the reseller receives root-level access and can update the server's configuration.
VPS hosting reseller - the reseller actually purchases entire VPS hosting plans to sell them to the clients instead of selling shared web hosting accounts on a single virtual server. It is deemed more cost-effective but also necessitates more introductory investments to buy the virtual private hosting server.
VPS hosting with the Apache web server - the Apache web server is quite famous and was the first to surpass the one hundred million website benchmark back in 2009, so it is normally utilized with Virtual Private Servers as well.
VPS hosting with MySQL - MySQL is also a popular database management system used with plenty of web apps and thus frequently wanted on a virtual web server.
VPS hosting with PHP - PHP is a script language preferred by web developers, thus it is popular with various web hosting solutions, including VPS hosting ones.

Q: What does an orange arrow over a pressens mean? In Remember Me's Combo Lab, some pressenses have an orange arrow on top of them. Pressens with arrows don't seem to be any different from their arrowless brethren when comparing the effect they have on a combo's damage, regeneration or cooldown reduction. What do these arrows mean?

A: Apparently it's just the DLC content ;)

Volvo Buses and FAMCO have received an order from the Dubai Roads and Transport Authority to supply 143 Volvo luxury intercity coaches over the next two years, in what is FAMCO's largest deal with the RTA to date.
Volvo's B11R is the first bus in the Middle East to meet the strict Euro 6 standards of fuel efficiency and emissions; aiding the successful signing of the deal which was evaluated against the RTA's rigorous 10-year total cost of ownership requirements, including fuel and operational costs.
"Being the first bus manufacturer to introduce Euro 6-standards to the Middle East has enabled us to deliver the most fuel efficient, cost effective and environmentally conscious public transport solution, helping the RTA to continue to lead the way in safety and sustainability," said Akash Passey, senior VP for Volvo Buses Region International.
"These buses mark the beginning of a new breed of modern buses focused on delivering clean, safe and efficient public transport," he added.
"The Volvo coaches will be operating not only in Dubai, but across the entire UAE, bringing people closer and uniting communities, and we're proud to be a part of the RTA's goal to increase the community's mobility via public transport by as much as 30% by 2030," said Nigel Johnson, senior managing director, FAMCO UAE.
Volvo's 11-litre 430hp Euro 6 engine adheres to not only the most stringent level of emission requirements for diesel engines the world over, but also delivers uncompromised power and performance.
Combined with a suite of smart fuel-saving services like the Volvo I-Shift gearbox, advanced engine management system and I-Coaching; a real-time device which offers the driver continuous on-the-job training with instant feedback on their acceleration, braking, cornering and over-revving, it ensures a safer and more fuel-efficient journey.

ALLISTER AALDERS: Power, travel disruptions likely with pre-Christmas storm
Allister Aalders · Weather Specialist | Posted: Dec. 22, 2022, 5:10 p.m. | Updated: Dec. 22, 2022, 4:37 p.m. | 6 Min Read
Intensifying low-pressure will bring stormy weather from Ontario right through Atlantic Canada ahead of Christmas.
This pre-Christmas storm is certainly making headlines across eastern North America. While we will escape blizzard conditions, we are in for some rain and powerful winds.
Periods of precipitation will develop from west to east across Mainland Nova Scotia and New Brunswick Friday morning into the afternoon, reaching P.E.I. and Cape Breton mid-afternoon to Friday evening. The weather will fall mainly as rain, but a mix of snow and ice is forecast over northern New Brunswick before changing to rain.
Additionally, some wet flakes could fall initially at higher terrain over Prince Edward Island and eastern Nova Scotia.
No surprise, but Atlantic Canada is now lit up with weather alerts. Wind warning covers the Maritimes/western NL, with rainfall warnings for much of NS/NB. Wx statements remain for surge threat Maritimes, and the messy mix in NL. @SaltWireNetwork #NSStorm #NBStorm #PEStorm #NLwx pic.twitter.com/rwQFSro5jQ
— Allister Aalders (@allistercanada) December 22, 2022
The worst of the storm in the Maritimes will be Friday evening and overnight into Saturday when the rain will be heaviest with a risk of thunderstorms, and the winds will be strongest.
The storm then moves into Newfoundland and Labrador overnight Friday through Saturday morning.
The storm begins as a wintry mess of snow mixing with ice pellets or freezing rain in Newfoundland before changing to rain. This will be mainly a snow event for the interior Great Northern Peninsula and Labrador.
Total rainfall amounts of 20 to 40 mm are forecast for the south coast of Newfoundland, New Brunswick, excluding the northwest and Nova Scotia, with local amounts of 40 to 70 mm.
Mostly rain and wind are forecast with our next system, but some flakes could fly ahead of and behind the system.
Amounts will otherwise range from 15 to 20 mm, with local amounts to 30 mm for northwest New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and eastern Newfoundland. The rest of Newfoundland and western Cape Breton can expect less than 10 mm.
Ten to 20 cm of snow is forecast for Labrador, with five to 15 cm of snow for central and western Newfoundland and northern New Brunswick before the rain.
A wintry mix will impact Newfoundland and Labrador on Christmas Eve, with mostly rain for the south and east coasts.
Winds will blow from the east and southeast with peak gusts of 80 to 110 km/h in the Maritime provinces, and the west coast of Newfoundland, with Les Suetes and Wreckhouse wind, gusting up to 150 km/h.
The remainder of Newfoundland can expect peak gusts of 60 to 90 km/h on Saturday.
Large waves with a risk of storm surge are possible for communities along the coast, especially south-facing coastlines at high tide on Saturday.
Conditions will improve from west to east in the Maritimes through Christmas Eve morning into the afternoon and Christmas Eve night into Christmas Day for Newfoundland and Labrador.
Cooler air returns behind the passage of the cold front, and coupled with brisk southwest winds gusting 40 to 70 km/h, some sea effect flurries or showers are likely to form off south-facing coastlines, especially for regions near the Bay of Fundy, western Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland.
The storm will bring snow to parts of Newfoundland, with sea-effect flurries or squalls off south-facing coastlines behind the storm through Christmas Day in the Maritimes.
This could bring trace to as much as five cm of snow, with local amounts of five to 10 cm.
The remainder of the holiday period next week is looking relatively calm, with periods of sunshine between chances of flurries. However, at this point, no major storms are on the horizon.

Donovan McNabb Suspended by Fox After DUI Charge
Former Eagles QB is suspended indefinitely. He's also taken a voluntary leave from his radio show.
By Joel Mathis·	 7/13/2015, 12:28 p.m.
Donvan McNabb, everyone's favorite and/or least-favorite former Eagles quarterback, has been suspended from his TV duties as a football commentator in the aftermath of a DUI charge.
"Donovan McNabb has been suspended indefinitely," Fox Sports said in a statement to SI.com. "It is important that Donovan use this time as best he can to resolve his personal situation."
McNabb is also taking a voluntary leave of absence from his job with NBC Radio, where he co-hosts "Under Center with McNabb & Malone." "Donovan McNabb is taking immediate leave to address some personal issues, and we support him in this decision," a network statement said, according to CNN.
McNabb was arrested in late June after the vehicle he was driving rear-ended a stopped vehicle at an intersection in Gilbert, Arizona, near where he lives. McNabb also spent a day in jail last year on a conviction from a December 2013 DUI charge.
McNabb made a statement, ostensibly about the arrest, on the radio show last Tuesday. Pro Football Talk reports:
"There was a story that was released, and I want everybody to be cognizant of it, because I am very aware of it, handling the matter at this particular point," McNabb said. "But at this point, I have no further information, and as we continue on with the situation, then we'll let it handle as it will handle itself."

World Series Grillz: Rapper offers free grillz to Astros
HOUSTON (AP) The Houston Astros will soon have the most sparkling smiles in baseball.
Grammy-nominated Houston rapper Paul Wall has offered free grillz – precious metal covers worn over teeth – to every member of the team to congratulate them for reaching the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
"It's a celebratory thing," Wall told The Associated Press. "We want to celebrate with them, congratulate them, here's a memorable, commemorative grill."
Wall made the offer on social media Sunday , a day after the Astros beat the New York Yankees to capture the American League championship and advance to the second World Series in franchise history. Wall is offering the mouth jewelry through Johnny Dang & Company which he co-owns with Johnny Dang, who is better known in the rap world as TV Johnny.
Several players or their representatives have already contacted Wall to let him know they'd like one, and right-hander Lance McCullers tweeted that "a lot of the guys are hype for this."
But would McCullers actually wear one?
"Definitely," he said. "I would definitely get a grill."
Wall, a lifelong Astros fan who watched games at the Astrodome from $1 seats as a child, said he got the idea to offer the team grillz after running into pitchers Justin Verlander, Dallas Keuchel and Tyler Clippard at a local steakhouse before the ALCS began.
"I was just joking around with them about it," Wall said. "I said: `Hey man if y'all go to the World Series, I'm going to hook y'all up with some grillz.' And they were like: `Hell yeah we want some grillz."
Wall believes that grillz are a representation of the culture in Houston and his Grammy-nomination came for an ode to the jewelry he did with Nelly in 2005 that is aptly titled "Grillz."
Wall's grillz vary widely in price depending on what metal they're made of and if they are encrusted with diamonds or other gemstones. The rapper himself has a platinum one with 20 carats of princess cut diamonds that set him back about $25,000. But to be clear, that isn't the model he's gifting to the Astros.
"The offer is solid gold grills maybe with the Astros emblem engraved on them," Wall said.
But those aren't just a drop in the bucket, with Wall estimating that a style like that would cost about $500.
"One or two is not too expensive, now if the whole 40-man roster wants a grill, oooh it could start getting expensive," he said with a laugh. "But I'm a die-hard Astros fan and for me and TV Johnny to make grillz for them and congratulate them with a grill it means something, and that they would even accept or want a grill means a lot to me."
He's also open to getting grillz for people associated with the team who aren't players, and loves the idea of buttoned up owner Jim Crane sporting one.
"We need to hook him up with a grill. (But) he probably doesn't even know what a grill is, he'd be like: `What is it, gas or charcoal,"' Wall said cracking up.
He also wants Verlander's model fiancee Kate Upton to know that he's available if she wants to match her man.
"We're going to hook her up with a rose gold, pink sapphire grill," he said. "Yep, yep, we've got her grill ready, too. His and hers."
Wall released an Astros-themed rap to commemorate Houston's first trip to the World Series in 2005. But he has no plans for anything like that this time after the Astros were swept by the Chicago White Sox in that series after his song dropped.
"We jinxed them," Wall said. "A lot of the rappers in town, we've got a rule right now where we're not making no songs until it's over. We need to chill out on these songs."
That doesn't mean he hasn't put a few things together in case they finally win it all this season.
"I've already got like three of them wrote," he said. "I'm just waiting to put them out."

Q: Compiz config won't start a month ago I asked a question regarding the CCSM and workspaces settings.
How do I set the number of workspaces?
A few days ago I realized that CCSM wasn't even on when I'm logging into Ubuntu, and now, each time I log out and back in, I have to use  compiz --replace &  just to run it manually, which is quite a pain to do each time.
Since I upgraded to Natty Narwhal I got this problem.
I was wondering what do I need to do in order to fix that problem (needless to say that reinstalling CCSM doesn't really work).
Thnx
Royi

A: I had the same problem, with Compiz not starting on Ubuntu 11.04 Classic. I found a fix here (and this was my topic).

A: You could just add    compiz --replace & to your startup applications...

A: Go to the gnome-control-center, and click on the Startup applications button. In the dialog that just should have appeared, click the add button. In the command field, paste the compiz --replace & command, type something like Compiz in the name field, this is just to identify it for yourself. Click the Add (or OK) button, and close the dialog.

A: The proper way to do this is to tell Gnome to use compiz as your default window manager and not use metacity at all. Simply put this in your ~/.gnomerc
(create that file if it does not exist yet):
export WINDOW_MANAGER=/usr/bin/compiz
Spread the word!
as for the fusion icon , its only purpose is to switch windows managers and if you're committed to compiz and have added this file, then the icon is pretty much renundent unless you really need to game that bad (or your system es...)


IBC 2017 in Amsterdam has started and Comprimato cannot miss this important event. This time we were invited to the Net Insight booth 1.B40 and we are very thankful for this opportunity to Net Insight.
Comprimato is very excited to demonstrate the live demo of the new software video transcoder as a part of Net Insight Nimbra setup. If you are broadcaster dealing with live events and plan to add more streams or just looking for a replacement of the old-fashioned and expensive encoders and decoders, come to see us at booth 1.B40 (I am pretty sure you stop by anyway because of the awesome booth set up with the real Formula 1 car).
We also invite all who are looking for a world's fastest JPEG2000 encoding/decoding solutions, which Comprimato still offers and improve.
Have you seen the demo already and want to have a reminder? Below is the visual part of it with a workflow description. The signal is coming from the RAW (uncompressed) feed to the Net Insight Nimbra, it's wrapped into JPEG2000 IP and send over TR-01 to the Comprimato live transcoder which produces MPEG-4 in this case.
Folks from Net Insight can give you all the details regarding Nimbra setup and, image quality, bitrate and other important aspects.
The second stand demonstrates cloud broadcasting and streaming using Netinsight infrastructure with Comprimato Live transcoder, this time from California to Amsterdam.
We believe this is the future, software way, how broadcasters can deliver a new type of services to the end-users. If you want to try it now, simply contact us for the free-trial of the Comprimato video transcoder for live events.


Jesus speaks about the Ego in today's Gospel. "What profit would there be for one to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?" MT 16:24-28. We can see the ego as being proactive and reactive, Jesus warns of the reactive ego and wants us to adopt a more proactive ego.

Is there food in that fridge?

South Island splendour ... Matakauri Lodge overlooks Lake Wakatipu and snow-capped mountains.
Our trans-Tasman neighbours have established an international reputation for luxury lodges in remote locations. Amanda Woodard visits the latest addition to the collection, while Sarah Maguire returns to the place where it all began.
Balanced on the shores of Lake Wakatipu looking out over the snow-capped mountain ranges of the Remarkables, Matakauri Lodge is in one of the most jaw-dropping locations in the southern hemisphere. A mere seven kilometres outside Queenstown, the hip adventure capital of New Zealand's South Island, the lodge has been reincarnated under the ownership of New York's Robertson family, who also own the luxury golf resorts Kauri Cliffs and Cape Kidnappers on the North Island.
Queenstown travel guide
A setting this beautiful deserves a lodge as gorgeous as Matakauri and NZ interior designer Virginia Fisher (see profile, right) is largely responsible. A markedly different aesthetic to Kauri Cliffs and Cape Kidnappers (both properties also designed by Fisher), the decor is more pared-back, contemporary, luxurious and very tasteful. It's not hard to see where Fisher found her inspiration.
A lakeside walk takes you through lush woodland whose colours of ochre, rust, cinnamon, vibrant yellow and dusky pink are brought together in soft furnishings throughout the buildings. There's a wonderful variety of texture, too, which makes Matakauri irresistible: Italian marble floors, richly woven rugs, iron fireplaces, revealed brickwork and slatted ceilings – it's a combination that just works.
The 11 luxury suites are oriented for maximum seclusion and privacy, with floor-to-ceiling windows and uninterrupted views of the mountains and lake that can be enjoyed from the bed, the sofas or my favourite place, the bath. Although one may try to read or feel obliged to catch up on the news (the TV, thankfully, is concealed behind a painting), it is NZ's second-deepest lake that draws the eye back constantly. The milky jade water has a hypnotic effect; it can appear calm one moment, agitated the next, whisked by winds that rise up from nowhere and disappear just as rapidly.
Down by the lodge jetty are the dark-green, water-smoothed pebbles or "pounamu" as the Maori call them. The powdery sediment from their erosion gives the lake its colour and if you stand by it long enough, you will observe the strange phenomenon – caused by the mountains and changes in wind pressure – that causes the lake to vary its height every six minutes by between eight and 20 centimetres.
The next morning finds me contemplating Matakauri Lodge again, from the top of one of the snow-capped mountains I can see from my room. I'm also holding a glass of warm gluhwein, eating smoked salmon and listening to a vinyl 78 record of You Are My Sunshine being played on a vintage wind-up gramophone. I'm not dreaming – this is the Picnic on a Peak experience offered by the aptly named Over the Top helicopter tour company in Queenstown.
Our pilot and the company's owner, Louisa "Choppy" Patterson, is a local legend, dressed all in black with aviator shades – she could be James Bond's long-lost sister. She steers the helicopter teasingly towards the face of the mountain, all the while talking over her shoulder to those in the back. At the last minute, she lifts us up and over on to the ridge.
It's heart-in-the-mouth stuff and makes you realise how thrilling it must be to heli-ski around here. Over the Top specialises in custom tours and trips to Milford Sound, as well as accessing some of the more remote rivers for fly-fishing trips.
There is so much to do in and around Queenstown, whether it's jet-boat adventures or bungy jumping, and the knowledgeable staff at Matakauri – who have usually done it themselves – will arrange any trips for you. Access to The Hills private golf club, for example, is open to guests of Matakauri and skiing and fishing trips can be booked by the lodge.
Jay Robertson, the owner's eldest son and manager of the New Zealand lodges, recalls one guest returning from a fishing expedition with a 170-kilogram blue marlin. Thankfully, Matakauri's superb chef Dale Gartland (hailing from Shropshire in Britain) wasn't asked to cook it.
It would be easy to dine in at Matakauri all the time as Gartland's changing menu makes the most of fresh New Zealand produce. The tasting menu is a treat ranging from succulent scallops to my favourite, the filet of beef with braised oxtail. If you are tempted further afield, then lunch at the Amisfield winery is worth the half-hour trip. Another great place for breakfast or lunch on a rainy day is Eichardt's Private Hotel in one of Queenstown's oldest buildings, which boasts leather banquettes and open fire.
Nothing quite compares to having your own exclusive views at Matakauri Lodge, however, and dusk is a time when you should seat yourself on the chaise next to the window for a light show that must be seen to be believed.
Amanda Woodard was a guest of Matakauri Lodge.
Huka Lodge
Dave Wood apologises for the smell of dead duck and wet dog as we climb into his four-wheel-drive. It's bird-shooting season in Taupo and the garrulous outdoors guide has been hunting with his Welsh springer spaniel and single-barrel shotgun.
I can't discern anything particularly noxious, neither the dog nor any ducks being in the car today, but the rough-and-ready cabin is a contrast to the luxury we're leaving behind as we pull out of the driveway. We're staying at Huka Lodge, the granddaddy of New Zealand lodges, the prototype for all the paeans to elegant opulence that have come since. The list of awards placing it among the world's best hotels is pages long; among its more recent gongs is the 2010 Tatler Enduring Excellence Award, presented to Huka's owner Alex van Heeren at the Ritz Hotel in London.
I'm staying in Huka's latest addition, Alan Pye Cottage, named in honour of the Irishman who founded Huka Lodge in the 1920s. Then, it was a series of wood-framed canvas tents to which royalty and other wealthy guests came for the trout fishing in the Waikato River. A plaque on the fireplace in the library pays tribute to Pye: for 40 years at "his beloved Huka Lodge", he "represented the finest traditions of the gentleman angler, friend and host to people the world over". It is where the Queen dined and where we follow suit one rainy lunchtime, the rich flavours of the wild rabbit bolognaise lingering strongest among a memorable two days of fine dining.
They say Pye was charming, easy to believe given his clientele, and a bit of a rogue: "I think there was a reason he was in New Zealand," says acting lodge manager Louis de Bievre as we look at photographs of Pye and Huka's rustic beginnings.
"In those days, it was a real fly-fishing place with no creature comforts," de Bievre says. "Fly-fishing was a sport of kings, landed gentry and wealthy gentlemen. They were high-born guests who slept in tents and didn't mind." Dave Wood, tall, handsome and outgoing, has his own easy charm, more than a touch of the Alan Pye in him, I suspect, as he travels the world providing company and guidance for wealthy clients whose passion is fly-fishing for trout in wild, remote places.
On the way to the Waitahanui River, he chats about hunting partridges, deer and bird, and his recipe for duck confit; the partridges, he tells us, are hung by the neck; when the bodies eventually fall off, the meat is ready to eat. He stands by patiently as we giggle our way into waders, throws an arm around our shoulders as we pose, ankle-deep in the pristine water, rods held aloft, for photographs.
Wood has three students today to introduce to the esoteric art of fly-fishing and we give it our best, our focus on learning how to cast – a skill that, like golf, is all about subtlety. The result is nil fish but we pose again for photographs with trout we didn't catch, borrowing them from a passing fisherman with a handlebar moustache and a tattoo on his forearm.
These days at Huka, canvas tents are supplanted by 18 riverfront lodge rooms, no doubt bypassed by the royalty who still stay at the Owner's Cottage which, at 364 square metres with four bedrooms, four bathrooms and separate accommodation for "accompanying staff", is far bigger than its name would suggest.
At 342 square metres, including an outdoor pavilion, Alan Pye Cottage is smaller, with two en suite bedrooms, but still worthy of royalty and any one of the numerous celebrities who come to stay at Huka, be they John Cleese, Bill Gates or Barbra Streisand.
On our second night, a three-course meal is cooked for us in the Alan Pye Cottage kitchen. Propped on plush dining chairs around a long wooden table, surrounded by stylish, symmetrically arranged ornaments that are one of the signatures of interior designer Fisher, we talk and drink local wine as waitress Mercedes delivers entrees of pork belly and Akaroa salmon and mains of fresh pasta and Canterbury lamb.
Dinner the night before was in the main lodge; guests mingled in the Lodge Room, where greyhound statues guard the fireplace and a tartan palette of blue, red and green evokes a grand Scottish estate, before sitting down to a winemakers dinner – one of several events held during the year at Huka.
On this occasion, wines from the Ata Rangi vineyard in Martinborough, north of Wellington, are paired with a five-course menu by executive chef Michel Louws, formerly of several Michelin-starred restaurants in the Netherlands.
Winemakers Clive and Phyll Patton are on hand to talk about their family business, their wine and the temperamental qualities of pinot noir grapes, from which they produce their most famous drops.
The food is flavoursome and inventive, the Pattons utterly charming and the bonhomie among friends and strangers flows as fast as any trout-laden New Zealand river. Just as Alan Pye would have liked it.
Sarah Maguire was a guest of Huka Lodge.

Brochures will be sent to the individual stores. Bayer has printed these and written the script for growing good roses. Each presenter is to use the script according to their own presentation style and comfort with the information. If you do not agree with the material supplied or do not want to use it – just do not mention the item. Bayer will be handing out samples to the first 25 people who are there. Store managers are going to be planning for their set up ahead of time .Presenters can go to the store and see the layout before their presentation on April 30.

Klima Center – We received the award for the highest amount of contributions from a District and received a prime place for a District Rose Garden, right at the entrance gate. Many societies have sponsored roses for the garden. If a society wants to sponsor a rose for the garden they may contact Jolene. There is no cost for sponsoring a rose, as the roses were donated for the NCNH Garden.
Triennial Ratings of roses, which is an adjustment for the rating of older roses, is to be done now. The form is on the ARS website. CRs will receive a packet in the mail and are encouraged to complete the form for any roses they are familiar with. All rosarians are encouraged to complete the form. The deadline is April 30.
Mini-flora roses must be shown in their own classes with separate awards for district and national shows. This applies to the horticultural entries, bowls, and arrangements.

The new Mini-flora chapter of the judging guidelines is online.
Fragrant rose class if judged by ARS judges and given an ARS Fragrance Certificate, must have 70% on fragrance and 30% on form. If the local society does not want to conform to this it can judge according to it's own standards and give a local, not ARS, award.

Arrangement Judges are asked to fill out the annual report for 2004, ASAP. This will be used to help select the top arrangement judge for 2004.
They reported that they need more articles from CR's and local members for The Criterion. General garden or growing techniques are good topics. "What to do in the garden now" is not good topic material, as the time has passed by the time the article is published.
Subscriptions last year totaled 191 paid subscriptions. Doug Durham donated $50 for gifts samples to societies.
This year there are many new subscriptions. Fifty percent of the new subscriptions are attributed to Jolene Adams who has encouraged everyone to subscribe. "The Criterion Box Award" was given to Jolene for outstanding solicitations of new subscriptions to The Criterion.
Alice Affleck, and the Rose Arrangers, were thanked for their articles.
Steve and Diana have bought a 20 year subscription.

The Triennial Survey report can be done on the web or mailed to Alice. This is a check up on the Garden ratings of the roses. CRs must submit reports, but everyone may participate. The District will get a recap on how our district rated each rose.
The new District Directory is available. Delegates were requested to pick up packets as they are heavy and expensive to mail.
DISTRICT TROPHIES, Tom Bonfigli- absent. Jolene reviewed his report.
The Monteleone Perpetual Trophy has been changed from a specimen of Mr. Lincoln to: One (1) disbudded specimen of any class, dark or medium red, fragrant rose with exhibition form.
The search for Silver Honor Medal nominees began at the beginning of the year. Only 16 societies have responded with nominations. Information was sent to the Presidents. It was suggested that the information be sent to the Awards Chair, not the President of the society since often a new president is taking over at the time when the information is sent. The Awards Chair for the local society is a three year appointment. Paper nominations are required.
All societies have turned in their society's history except Monterey, Reno, and San Mateo.
Fall 2004 Conference – Kent Duncan, Sacramento RS The Conference lost $4553. There was a shortfall in the income. Kent Duncan took over at the last minute. Communications with district and requirements for seminars were unclear. Lack of sponsors was a problem. Active committee meetings in summer are necessary as well as careful and detailed tracking of money. More than one lead person is recommended.
Fall 2005 Conference – The invitation for the Conference was given by Joan Goff of the hosting Marin Rose Society. The Chairmanship is shared by Joan, Gail Trimble, and Lenore Ruckman.

Entire Wigan secondary school closes after Covid-19 outbreak
Dean Trust Wigan has told parents to keep their children at home this week, following an outbreak of the virus among a "significant number" of employees at the Orrell school, which was formerly Abraham Guest Academy.
Pupils are being told to stay at home from today, Monday September 28, up to and including next Friday, October 2. The school is expected to reopen next week, Monday October 5.
Pupils in Year 9 had already been sent home to self-isolate following an outbreak in its year group. But parents were reassured that the rest of the school would not need to quarantine during their week off.
The i newsletter cut through the noise
Dean Trust Wigan
In a letter to parents and carers, Dean Trust's Operations Director, Andrew Shakos, wrote: "It is with regret that we are writing to inform you that we must temporarily close the school to staff and pupils. This is due to a significant number of staff having very recently tested positive for coronavirus (COVID-19).
"As you are aware, Wigan is now considered a high risk area by the government and the increase in staff testing positive for COVID-19 seemed to have coincided with the increase in infections in the area."
The letter goes on: "Unless you are a pupil in year 9, who are already self-isolating, this decision does not mean that pupils in the other year groups, or their families, are required to self-isolate."
The short break will used to give the school facilities a deep clean and review its health and safety practices. The school also said that pupils will have access to remote learning tools and online teaching facilities.

Before getting into the real estate industry, you should makes sure to have full information about the industry more so get to understand who are the real estate brokers and real estate agents. There is a wide misconception amongst many people who believe that a real estate agent is the same as the real estate broker. These two are not the same although they have some similarities to some extent. Some of the distinctions between real estate brokers vs. agent are the salary and responsibilities amongst other major elements. Below are fundamental factors to consider and they will enable you understand who a real estate broker is and who an agent is as well.
The responsibilities of the two professionals; broker and agent are distinctions. For a real estate agent, there are myriad tasks designated for them and these are representing the clients whether buyers or sellers, negotiate prices on their behalf, market and show all the properties they are selling and finally prospecting leads. Basically, a real estate agent is the professional to consider whenever you want to sell or buy a property and they have direct contact with either the seller or the buyer. There are varying responsibilities for the real estate brokers based on the aspirations and anticipation that a broker has in the industry as long as growth is concerned. As a matter of facts, a real estate broker can be able to establish their business and employ real estate agents. Some of the responsibilities that the brokers has is settling disputes, hiring real estate agents, training them, managing their businesses and ensuring to keep records. It is also ideal and permissible for the real estate broker to facilitate even the responsibilities of a real estate agent.
The other fundamental thing to note is the growth rate and the broker has higher chances of growing fast than the agents. For an agent to grow, they will have to obtain training or even change their position in the industry. It is where a broker hires more agents that they invite growth their way.
The knowledge that brokers and agents have in the industry matter greatly. There are state defined guidelines that agents must meet as well as brokers. A broker must have a degree in the industry and experience as an agent. nevertheless, an agent doesn't need a degree but some few hours of training.
The last but not the least, brokers will eventually earns a higher salary than the agents. The brokers tend to have a wider territory to operate in hence higher wages. It is impossible for the agent employed by the broker to earn more.

Is Portuguese considered a dialect of Spanish?
What dialect is Portuguese?
Is Portuguese also Spanish?
Is European Portuguese a dying language?
Why do Brazilians speak Portuguese?
Why does Portuguese sound so weird?
Is Spanish easier than Portuguese?
Which is older Spanish or Portuguese?
No Portuguese is not a Spanish dialect; it is its own language, and although similar to Spanish, it is also similar to Italian, French and lastly somewhat similar to Romanian.
There are four main Portuguese dialect groups, all mutually intelligible: (1) Central, or Beira, (2) Southern (Estremenho), including Lisbon, Alentejo, and Algarve, (3) Insular, including the dialects of Madeira and the Azores, and (4) Brazilian.
Yes, Portuguese and Spanish are the most alike languages.
Let's find out. As you probably know, Spanish and Portuguese are both Ibero-Romance languages that developed on the Iberian Peninsula. … However, of all the Romance languages, Spanish is the closest to Portuguese. Both languages are descended from Vulgar Latin.
Portuguese is not a dying language. It is the main language used on a day-to-day basis by more than two hundred million people on three continents, and is widely used as a minority or second language by millions of people beyond these hearths.
The reason Brazilians speak Portuguese is because Brazil was colonized by Portugal, but the history is a bit more complex. In the 15th century, Spain and Portugal were the "big guns." Columbus had discovered America for Spain, while Portugal was advancing along the African coast.
FASCINATINGLY: Do TAP Portugal flights include baggage?
As Portugal is isolated geographically from the Mediterranean it makes sense that linguistic memetic flow continued more readily among the other proto-Romance speaking countries during the Renaissance, leaving Portuguese to evolve more-or-less on its own. Thus, it sounds different from the other Romance languages.
For most native English speakers, Spanish is slightly easier to learn than Portuguese. This is primarily a matter of access. … Another reason Spanish is easier to learn is that pronunciation in Spanish is simpler than in Portuguese. Spanish uses five vowel sounds and has very consistent spelling.
Starting with Marcelo Serrado's answer, Portugal is certainly older than Spain. In terms of its borders is certainly older than Spain and one of the oldest in Europe.
When did the Portuguese discover Benin?
The Portuguese reached the coast of Benin in 1489, establishing relations that lasted for

Tunneler is a top-down perspective game written in the early 1990s for DOS on IBM-PC compatible computers. Two tanks explore an underground realm, venturing from their protective bases to dig tunnels and find their opponent for battle.
This game was novel in that it allowed two players to battle simultaneously on the same computer, with two windows and a shared keyboard. The game also used the "undocumented" CGA 160 x 200 pixel 16-color graphics mode.
Here are some screenshots. Here is the initial state, with both tanks in their bases. To independently scrolling windows show each player's view:

CGA Low Resolution 16-Color Graphics
CGA 16-Color Graphics
The original IBM-PC Color Graphics Adapter (CGA) could display text in 16 colors, but supported only 4 colors when in color graphics mode (at a resolution of 320×200 pixels). It was not widely known that the CGA graphics card could also display a 16-color graphics, albeit at a resolution of only 160×100 pixels. Wikipedia has a good description of the technical details of this low-res graphics mode. Also, see Life Before Demos.
I first came across this low-res graphics mode when I downloaded a game called Round 42, and was enthralled. I had to learn how to achieve this 16-color graphics mode it used. Continue reading
History & Technical Details
I think the concept of Tunneler was inspired by Combat for the Atari 2600 — two players fight it out in simultaneous battle. (Note the blue & green tanks.) I thought there weren't enough concurrent two-player games for the IBM PC. Tunneler was also an incremental step from a digging/mining game I had written for the TRS-80.
I wrote Tunneler in my spare time between 1989 and 1992 using my IBM PS/2 Model 30. Tunneler was developed using Turbo Pascal 4 and some hand-coded assembly. No, I no longer have the source code — it was stored on floppy disks that were lost or damaged over the years.
Clones & Remakes
Here is a compilation of various Tunneler clones & remakes I've encountered.
Hacking Tunneler
While the source code for Tunneler is long gone, it's still possible to customize the game by hacking the TUNNELER.COM binary executable — if you're handy with a binary editor!


Should we outsource our IT Support needs?
Should we stay or should we outsource?
It seems like almost every business who has not already moved to outsourcing their IT support to a Managed Services Provider has at least came to the fork in the road where they have had to decide. It reminds me of The Clash song, should I stay or should I go. 🙂 I am not sure why it does, but none the less, it is an important decision to consider.
The implementation of Managed Services reduces the IT costs by 30-40% for businesses. Organizations gain flexibility and technical advantage with them. Outsourcing provides risk sharing and reduces IT costs and IT commitments so that businesses are able to concentrate on their core competencies.
Organizations implementing managed services have reported almost 50-60% increase in the operational efficiency of their outsourced processes. Businesses have accepted outsourcing services as a means to enable them reduce their Capital Expenditure (CapEx) and free up internal sources.
Managed Services Market Forecasts and Analysis (2013 – 2018), "The managed services market is estimated to grow from $142.75 billion in 2013 to $256.05 billion in 2018." Businesses across all industries are taking advantage of Managed Services Providers, seeing IT more as a utility.
A CompTIA study reveals that 89 percent of current managed services users are very satisfied or mostly satisfied with their experience. Performance and uptime; agreeable contract terms; a secure environment; and the flexibility to easily and quickly add new services all contribute to customers' satisfaction.
After reading the above stats, I guess you should "Rock the Cashbar" and keep more of your hard-earned money in the business by switching to a Managed Services Provider!


It's refreshing to see staff from the medical field like nurses and some doctors don their new colorful scrubs clothing. Finally, they have other options on what color to wear during their hospital or clinic duties. I'm sure they welcome the changes in their uniform since wearing white uniforms can be a little boring over time.
Just this afternoon, on my way to my store, a get a chance to see a nurse riding a motorbike with his violet (yes violet) scrub pants and tops. I know now that many hospitals have been embracing the new colored uniforms to their staff.
These sets are available in many sizes: XXS-XL and guaranteed to be of highest quality.


Capacitor start/capacitor run motors provide continuous voltage sensing information which can be used to extract speed data from the voltage across the motor start winding. By comparing this start winding RPM-sensitive voltage to the main AC input voltage (which serves as a reference voltage), the switch determines when the start circuit should be de-energized. The electronic switch interrupts the start circuit current after the motor has accelerated to the cut out voltage (speed), and reconnects the start circuit whenever the speed sensitive circuit senses the motor voltage (speed) has decreased to a preselected cut in voltage (RPM) level.
Capacitor start/capacitor run motors exhibit current transients and higher voltages across the start switch. These electrical stresses occur due to the switching of the two capacitors (start and run) that are connected in parallel during motor start and may have different voltages at time of restart. These stresses occur at restart with both mechanical and electronic start switches. The VR switch features circuitry designed to eliminate the effects of these conditions.
