[Colloquium] Recruitment week
Lessons from an isolate: Chitimacha diachrony in areal perspective
In historical linguistics, language isolates are often viewed as a problem. Their isolate status makes it difficult to peer into their history, and internal reconstruction is though to be of limited utility. Linguists yearn to rectify any case of a language with no relatives.
Chitimacha is one such isolate from Louisiana. It was documented extensively around the turn of the 19th century, and its last native speaker passed away in 1939. Little has been published on the language, and what has been published reflects linguists' desire to classify isolates into one family or another. None of these proposals have been widely accepted.
This talk reframes Chitimacha's isolate status not as a problem to be solved, but as a potential trove of insights into the sociolinguistic history of both Chitimacha and the U.S. Southeast area more generally. I briefly discuss the language-internal evidence for the diachronic pathways of three grammatical features of Chitimacha: positional auxiliary verbs, switch-reference, and agent-patient alignment. In each case, existing lexical or morphological material was recruited for these new functions. However, each of these features is shared by other unrelated languages of the U.S. Southeast, suggesting that their development in Chitimacha was in fact motivated by contact. I propose an explanation whereby multilingual speakers in the Southeast carried over discourse-level patterns of information flow into Chitimacha, and these discourse patterns became more frequent and conventionalized over time, until they grammaticalized into dedicated grammatical constructions. It is not the grammatical structures themselves that were borrowed, but rather a preference for packaging information in discourse in ways that parallel the grammatical structures of the original language. It is precisely Chitimacha's isolate status which makes it possible to better understand the effects of contact and discourse-induced grammaticalization.
"Oh my [mɑ] god": Appropriation of African American English and the construction of Asian American identity in Ali Wong's Baby Cobra
Kendra Calhoun and Joyhanna Yoo Garza
Studies of linguistic crossing, appropriation, and style have shown that the raciolinguistic enregisterment (Rosa & Flores 2017) of linguistic features to named racial categories does not prevent 'outside' speakers from adopting them. The interactional and identity work that African American English (AAE) does for non-Black speakers through indexical associations in conversational and performance contexts is demonstrated in research on Asian American appropriations of AAE (Bucholtz 2004; Chun 2013; Reyes 2005). In this study, we analyze comedian Ali Wong's use of AAE and other raciolinguistically enregistered features in her stand-up comedy special Baby Cobra (2016). We examine how she constructs her identity as a raunchy, self-assured, Asian American woman and argue that Wong employs AAE to draw on the culturally legible 'sassy Black woman' stereotype in order to challenge dominant racializations of Asian women (e.g., docile, asexual) and condescending ideologies about "women's humor."
The role of syntactic distributions in grammatical gender assignment
Phillip Rogers and Stefan Th. Gries
It is well known that semantics and phonology play a role in gender assignment cross-linguistically. Recent work at UCSB has shown that the lexicon contains fine-grained, probabilistic information about the syntactic distributions of words. As such, we hypothesize that syntactic distributions--defined as the set of dependency relations that a word participates in and how often--may also play a role in gender assignment. With syntactic distributions for nouns derived from the Universal Dependencies treebanks, we perform a random forest classification for each of several languages predicting gender sameness among pairs of nouns based on semantic and syntactic distances, phonological rules, and word frequencies. These models reveal that syntactically similar nouns are less likely to share the same gender, and this may serve to disambiguate nouns that occur in similar contexts. This finding speaks to the functional advantages of grammatical gender that operate subtly and probabilistically in the aggregate, and it illustrates the unique role of syntax as both a feature of words and a locus for discrimination among words.

Q: NullReferenceException when doing InsertOnSubmit in LINQ to SQL In my database I have a table called
StaffMembers
when I bring this into my .net Project as through linq-to-sql an entity class StaffMember is created
Now I have also created a partial class StaffMember in my project also, to add extra properties that I use in other top layers. eg. IsDeleted property. This partial class also inherits an abstract class and interface to make sure some other properties are also implemented.
Now when I create a new instance of "StaffMember"
eg.
StaffMember newStaff = new StaffMember();
and give it all its properties etc
and then call the InsertOnSubmit on the context through my Manager.
Add(StaffMember newStaff)
{
     context.StaffMembers.InsertOnSubmit(newStaff);
     context.Save();
}

I get an
"Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error.
on   context.StaffMembers.InsertOnSubmit(newStaff);
The stack says
"   at System.Data.Linq.Mapping.EntitySetDefSourceAccessor`2.GetValue(T instance)\r\n   at

Any idea why would this be happening and what's the way around it.
Thanks

A: Alright I found my answer on
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/linqprojectgeneral/thread/0cf1fccb-6398-4f16-920b-adef9dc4ac9f
in case some is still looking for an answer.
This problem happens when you overload the constructor in the partial class, and not call the default constructor in it.
The default constructor of the entity does few things thats required by the Context object.
Hence if you have an overloading constructor in your partial class and using it to create the object, make sure the default constructor is called in the first line
in C# you can do this by
eg.
 Customer(string custID)

you need to add a
 Customer(string custID):this()

in C# where Customer is my class and Customer(string custID):this() is my overload constructor in my partial class.

A: Sometime, just forgot to add this line to the base class:
[InheritanceMapping(Code = "Class", Type = typeof(Class))]

Dual Photoredox Catalysis: The Merger of Photoredox Catalysis with Other Catalytic Activation Modes
Christopher K. Prier, David W.C. Macmillan
This chapter discusses the reactions that have been enabled by the merger of photoredox catalysis with organocatalytic activation modes. Photoredox catalysis not only generates the reactive radical species but also performs a key oxidation in the organocatalytic cycle. The combination of photoredox catalysis with complementary activation modes has achieved an astonishing range of notable chemical transformations. These reactions have demonstrated that photoredox catalysis can significantly benefit from the merger with organocatalysis, acid catalysis, and transitionmetal catalysis. A transformation enabled by photoredox organocatalysis is the asymmetric a-benzylation of aldehydes. The chapter then reviews the examples of synergistic photoredox catalysis with Bronsted and Lewis acids. Lewis acids have been employed in photoredox transformations of N-aryl glycine esters, with Rueping using zinc acetate to promote α-arylation with indole nucleophiles and Wu using copper(II) triflate to promote oxidative Mannich reactions. The chapter concludes with chemistry enabled by the combination of photoredox and transition metal catalysts.

The Northern Knights take field on Thursday.
The Northern Knights clash with the Central Districts Stags in the Georgie Pie Super Smash at Seddon Park in Hamilton on Thursday.
Watch & bet on the Georgie Pie Super Smash at Bet365.
The home side have 14 points to show for their efforts in six matches in this year's competition and are second in the standings. The Stags are fourth in the current standings with 10 points from six matches this season.
The hosts were on the winning side in their last fixture against the Wellington Firebirds. The Stags were supposed be playing the Kings on Saturday but the match did not see any action with rain playing spoil-sport. They were defeated by the Firebirds the last time they featured in this year's competition.
Wellington had amassed 175 runs batting first thanks to Stephen Murdoch's 70 runs off just 45 deliveries. His half-century came on the backdrop of a successful opening partnership between Michael Pollard and Michael Papps. Seth Rance claimed three wickets for the Stags on the night.
The Stags could only manage 149/9 during the chase with Kruger van Wyk top-scoring with a 35-ball 38 runs. None of their batsmen could impose themselves on the occasion and the chase fizzled out even before it could really take off.
FIND OUT: How to watch and bet on the Georgie Pie Super Smash live online.
Murdoch has been in great form off late for Wellington as the batsmen posted a 59-ball 92 to take the side to 152 runs in the first period of play against the Knights.
However, it proved to be insufficient as Anton Devcich, Dean Brownlie, and Kevin O'Brien sealed the Firebirds' fate. The win came with seven wickets and a couple of overs to spare in the end.
The Knights will have been greatly buoyed by their result against the Firebirds. Their batting line-up fired as a collective unit and their bowlers did not do too badly either. They were successful in containing the Firebirds to what proved to be chasable total.
The opposition lost their momentum with the defeat against Wellington the other day and they were unable to claim it back with the weather playing spoilsport on Saturday.
However, this will be a great opportunity for the Stags to bounce back and they will know that a win on Thursday will see them go level on points with the Knights.

Utah governor said crowded hospitals 'should cause us all alarm,' as state breaks record for new cases
(Laura Seitz | Deseret News, pool) Gov. Gary Herbert wears a mask prior to speaking at the PBS Utah Governor's Monthly News Conference at the Capitol in Salt Lake City on Thursday, Oct. 22, 2020. The event was devoted exclusively to COVID-19. Herbert said the increase in hospitalizations, which is threatening to overwhelm intensive care units, "should cause us all alarm."
By Bethany Rodgers
, Erin Alberty
and Sean P. Means

| Updated: Oct. 23, 2020, 2:04 p.m.
Gov. Gary Herbert warned that as the state experiences record-high coronavirus hospitalizations and case counts continue to climb, the health care system is at or near capacity.
"It should cause us all alarm," Herbert said, warning that "our hospitals are starting to fill up."
The Utah Department of Health reported 1,543 new coronavirus cases on Thursday and 301 patients concurrently admitted to hospitals. On average, 296 patients have been receiving treatment in Utah hospitals each day for the past week — a record high.
"For the first time as a physician, I'm scared to see what's to come," Eddie Stenehjem, infectious disease medical director for Intermountain Healthcare, said during Herbert's monthly PBS Utah news conference. "I'm scared about the next few months that we will endure here in Utah unless something changes."
More than 700 Utahns have been reported hospitalized for coronavirus in the past two weeks — the highest number of any 14-day stretch since the pandemic began. In total, 4,880 patients have been hospitalized in Utah for COVID-19, an increase of 73 from Wednesday.
State epidemiologist Dr. Angela Dunn said the state's health care providers are exhausted, the public health system is strained and Utahns are afraid.
"I just, I don't know what to do any more," Dunn said, shaking her head in exasperation. "I'm really not trying to scare anyone. I'm just trying to inform you of what's going on and give you the facts of where we are in this pandemic."
Stenehjem described hospital floors filled with COVID-19 patients who are suffering and lonely, cut off from the comfort of their family and friends. Many of them won't survive the disease, he said, and some of those who do will grapple with the chronic conditions that the infection can leave behind.
"I wish I could take all of you with me on these rounds," he told reporters. "These rounds teach you the respect you need for this virus."
At this point, Utah hospitals have the resources to care for patients across the state, Stenehjem said. But, he cautioned, the day could be coming when that's no longer the case.
"Don't let our hospitals get overrun. If that happens, we've failed," Stenehjem said.
He directed some of his comments to elected leaders: "Be bold, and take the actions that protect your citizens, even if it's not popular."
It's been more than a week since the governor declared Utah's ongoing surge of coronavirus cases "unacceptable" and announced a new strategy for imposing local restrictions across the state. Even though the coronavirus has continued to sweep across communities in the state, the governor stood behind the plan and said it's too soon to tell whether the new approach is paying off.
But no strategy will succeed if individuals don't change their behavior, Herbert said, arguing there's little the government can do to force compliance.
"Short of locking people up and putting them in isolation, I guess, in some kind of prison state," he said, "I don't know what else we could do."
Taking a heavy-handed approach could backfire in a conservative state like Utah, where "there's a lot of people who don't like government telling them what to do," he added.
He acknowledged that, "It is really a frustrating fight we have going here. It is like whack-a-mole."
Even though most people won't die from COVID-19 or develop severe symptoms, Herbert said he's concerned about the lasting impacts of the disease — conditions that medical experts are only beginning to understand. Among possible long-term consequences are damage to the lining of the heart, blood clots, and damage to the nervous system, Herbert said.
The governor's own daughter has lost her sense of smell three months after being infected, and his 13-year-old granddaughter has lost weight because she is nauseated when presented with food.
Utah's intensive care units have been 72.2% occupied for the past week, but the figure reflects statewide ICU capacity and does not account for different needs from city to city, or for certain medical specialties.
Hospitals in Salt Lake City and St. George have opened overflow ICUs after filling their regular ICU beds, and at least one family said long delays befell a patient requiring emergency pulmonary care for at yet another hospital — delays that doctors there reportedly attributed to crowding from COVID-19.
Troubling signs
There are signs that the strain on hospitals will only get worse. Patients often require hospital treatment a week or more after they're infected, which means today's record-breaking case loads have yet to show up in the state's hospital numbers.
Another bad sign is the percent of tests coming back positive. Health officials have said a low rate of positive test results — 3% or so — indicates that most infected people are getting tested, and health professionals have a good idea of the scale of the outbreak.
But for the past week, 15.5% of Utah's tests came back positive — a record high, and a clue that true infection rates are worse than the known case numbers suggest. Those undiagnosed patients not only can unwittingly start new clusters, they or the people they infect may later turn up at hospitals in numbers that health officials didn't anticipate based on the number of new cases each day.
And no single part of the state appears to be responsible for the high percent of tests coming back positive, according to data released Thursday. Positivity rates rose during the past week in 23 of Utah's 29 counties — some precipitously — which suggests the virus is likely spreading under the radar in a lot of different communities.
Fifteen of Utah's counties rose to the highest coronavirus restriction levels on Thursday, with 21 of the state's 29 counties now deemed to have "high" transmission levels under new state guidelines.
Beaver, Box Elder, Carbon, Davis, Emery, Grand, Millard, Morgan, San Juan, Sanpete, Sevier, Summit, Tooele, Washington and Weber counties shifted up to "high" transmission levels in the first weekly update under Utah's new coronavirus guidelines.
That means residents in those counties will be required to wear masks and limit gatherings to 10 people for at least two more weeks; counties with "moderate" transmission levels may loosen those restrictions on Oct. 29. The 15 counties join six others — Garfield, Juab, Utah, Salt Lake, Cache and Wasatch — already in the highest restriction category.
In addition to 15 counties moving to "high" transmission levels, Duchesne moved from "low" to "moderate" level, joining Iron and Uintah counties — the only two that remained in the "moderate" category for a second week.
Residents in those counties are ordered to abide by mask requirements and limit gatherings to 10 people until Oct. 29, which is the end of the state's two-week "circuit breaker," during which heightened rules in moderate-transmission counties are intended to suppress a statewide surge that has made Utah's outbreak one of the ten worst in the nation.
But even as more counties fall under Utah's highest restrictions, the state's standard for "high" transmission levels are lower than other analyses. For instance, federal guidelines define infection levels in the "red zone" if weekly cases exceed 101 new patients per 100,000 people. According to the state divisions that officials use to examine health trends at the community level, all 98 of Utah's "small areas" except Cedar City reported case rates that high.
Utah's death toll from the coronavirus stood at 563 on Thursday, with six fatalities reported since Wednesday and one previous death removed from the list after further investigation by medical examiners. The six new fatalities are:
A Davis County woman, age 65 to 84.
A Garfield County man, older than 85.
A Juab County woman, age 65 to 84.
A Salt Lake County woman, age 45 to 64.
A Salt Lake County man, age 45 to 64.
A Utah County man, age 65 to 84.
For the past week, the state has averaged 1,289 new positive test results a day — a record high, the Utah Department of Health reported.
Utah County's weeklong case gains remain the worst, per capita, of any county in the state — but Salt Lake County has nearly caught up. Locally, the worst infection rates are in Orem, Provo, Salt Lake City's Glendale neighborhood and the towns of Blanding and Monticello in southwest Utah, according to state data. Weeklong case gains reached record highs Thursday in Salt Lake County as well as the Weber-Morgan health district and the Tri-County area of eastern Utah.
Wasatch County reported more hospitalizations per capita than any other part of the state, with record high hospital admissions there as well as Salt Lake, Weber and Morgan counties.
Testing is on the rise, too. Statewide, there were 10,291 new test results reported on Thursday, above the weeklong average of about 8,000 new tests per day.
While most Utahns seem to understand the severity of the coronavirus, Herbert said "some folks aren't taking it seriously, aren't doing everything they can to protect themselves." Wearing a mask is an easy precaution that doesn't hurt the economy, the governor continued, and he and other health officials sounded frustrated that some are rebelling against such a simple tactic for keeping the disease in check.
But Herbert acknowledged that mask-wearing has become politicized across the nation and blamed both Republicans and Democrats for turning the public health recommendation into a controversial issue. He said he's encouraged President Donald Trump, Vice President Mike Pence and White House staff to wear masks and lead by example.
"I can't account for others' behavior," he said. "We're trying to do the best we can here in Utah."
Despite the grim warnings from Herbert and health experts Thursday, the governor said people should continue to shop, work and even go trick-or-treating on Halloween, as long as they're being responsible. Dunn said she's most concerned about social gatherings before and after trick-or-treating and encouraged people to stay in their household groups and wear masks when they go out.
Utah jobs
Taylor Randall, the head of Herbert's team guiding Utah's economic recovery from COVID-19, said Thursday that officials "are trying desperately to avoid any potential shutdown of businesses," as new unemployment data was released.
Utah's unemployment levels jumped up in September, but Randall said the rise to 5% was a sign of more residents seeking jobs, boosting labor participation as several government benefit programs come close to expiring.
The state Department of Workforce Services is now getting 34,579 ongoing jobless claims week to week, with other data showing nearly 82,800 residents out of work last month. As of Oct. 17, of those getting jobless help, 22,481 were on traditional state benefits; 3,556 were on special aid for the self-employed and independent contractors; and about 8,542 people were taking extended benefits after other aid has run out.
Employers were being urged to visit stayopenutah.com, Randall said, for protocols "to effectively maintain contact with customers, keep your employees safe and keep your businesses operating."

Yet again Don Mort and the Wakefield Express expose two warning notices placed on our hospital trust.
Only the Wakefield Express continues to tell the truth about the hospital which our MP's continue to praise for their own self preservation.
Even before Mary Creagh's letter of the 16th January which has caused such outrage in the community as expressed in your letters page , I had been incensed by her continuous self praise over the PFI hospital's in Wakefield which has led to unbelievable profit returns for the PFI company whilst at the same time has left us with massive staff shortages, cancelled operations, a disgraceful record on appointments and at least 200 beds less than the previous hospital before PFI.
Having never seen Mary Creagh or any of the other 3 Labour district MP's standing in line for an appointment only to be told the appointment letter was incorrect, I decided using the Freedom of Information Act to request what health facilities MP's receive where they work (Planet Westminster) so there can be no misunderstanding I give you directly the questions we asked and the response from the Information Commissioner.
Is there a doctor in residence (part time or full time) in the House of Commons or attached to the House of Commons?
"A " The House of Commons engages an Occupational Physician, via a contract arrangement with Guys & St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, for 3 days each week.
Is there a medical centre (part time or full time) in the House of Commons or attached to the House of Commons?
"A" Arrangements have also been made with a local NHS practice to provide GP services for any MP who is taken unwell during the working week, and cannot attend his/her own GP at their home address.
What medical provision is supplied to MP's in session in the House of Commons?
"A"The Parliamentary Health and Wellbeing Service provides support and advice to Members of Parliament on work-related health issues or concerns, via the occupational health team. Members may also attend the nurse-led occupational health clinic situated in the Palace of Westminster if they need first aid or advice if they are feeling unwell during the working day.
If only all the public had access to such care and medical facilities on their doorstep and the means to access/referral to such specialised services without such lengthy waiting times as you and me.
Finally I would ask all of the Wakefield MP's - when was the last time you used the hospitals at either Pinderfields or Pontefract for anything other than a photo opportunity ? Or when was the last time you or your families spent 4 hours or more on a stretcher in a corridor waiting to be seen ?
Was it not for the reporters and editorial staff at the Wakefield Express most of our communities would never hear the truth of our so called NHS trust.


Irish eyes are seeing red after the city made the annual St. Patrick's Day breakfast at Gracie Mansion an hour later — when it will clash with Cardinal Dolan's Mass.
The breakfast, usually at 7:30, will be at 8:30, the same time as the Mass.
"It's a slap to the guests," said Adrian Flannelly, a radio host who served as the Irish community liaison under previous mayors. "We don't rate."
A spokesman said that the mayor — not known as a morning person — wasn't snubbing the Irish. City Hall instituted a new policy in which all Gracie breakfasts start at 8:30, he said.

The incomparable Mark Mothersbaugh joins Moonlight Arts Collective for his debut release, The Postcard Superheroes, featuring six massive hand pulled screen prints created with work originally made in 1978. After Devo entered into a legal battle with Warner Brothers and Virgin Records, Mothersbaugh and bandmate Jerry Casale joined Virgin's founder Richard Branson on a houseboat on the Thames in London. It was there where Mothersbaugh began assembling the pieces that would become The Postcard Superheros. Read on as Mark Mothersbaugh gives us the story behind these oversized screen prints behind his first release with Moonlight, some of his favorite album covers and more…
"In 1978, Devo was getting sued by Warner Brothers, because we had signed with Richard Branson (Virgin Records) and Warner Brothers for a record deal, and so there was a lawsuit in London. Jerry Casale and I flew there, and we were staying on a houseboat on the Thames with Richard Branson. We were kinda living with him on this houseboat while the trial was going on. They never really needed Jerry and I to be in court, I don't know why they even had us over there, maybe someone would call us into court as a witness, but it didn't happen. There's a horror story behind that, which testifies how Richard Branson later became a billionaire, but we won't talk about that right now…
…What I will tell you about is that while I was living on that houseboat I was already well into making artwork on cards, kinda postcard size cards and saving them as part of my image bank, or my lyrics. I would save lyrics, and stage ideas for Devo, or costume ideas for Devo. I would just put things on these cards, any artwork that I really liked. So while I was living on the houseboat I was taking different sources of images. You have to imagine this whole thing 3x5 inches.
The images in the back that are kind of Japanese superheroes were skin tattoos that I bought in Chinatown here in Los Angeles around 1977. I had kept them around and used them in my work sometimes. The stamps are just real postage stamps, because I was a nerd and I collected stuff like that. This crossword puzzle and the soccer player squatting down, they came from newspapers in London while I was there. I was making all of these little collages, and I loved them, and they went into a book. They just kinda got filed away...
...Devo eventually put out our first album, second album, third album, fourth album, I think we might have had five albums out by 1985, maybe six, (ed. note: it was six.) but along the way, I fought with art directors at Virgin, who, if I ever wanted to use a special ink or use a die cut or something on the cover – because the album covers that I loved were Andy Warhol's banana cover that he did for Velvet Underground, or the Sticky Fingers album cover by The Rolling Stones that had a zipper on it. I wanted to do stuff like that – I wanted to do really fun album covers, and we always got penalized every time we ever did anything.
So in 1985, I was friends with this guy that had a print shop (ed. Note: the shop would become Modern Multiples, founded by Richard Duardo) in downtown Los Angeles. Long before there was ever an arts district there, there was this kinda factory warehouse district, and at night when it would shut down is when artists would show up. It was totally different than what it is right now. I was a print maker when I was at Kent State and I would print my own artwork. I loved doing that. But I didn't really have access to be able to do that once I was traveling with Devo. In 1985, I knew that I had time that summer to do some prints, so I went over to Richard's studio and I took six of the cards that I had done while I was living on the houseboat and we decided that we were going to print them but we were going to blow them up. So that's what these are. A blown up version of each of the cards. There are six in the series called Postcard Superheros.
Mark Mothersbaugh at Richard Duardo's studio Modern Multiples.
I was so tired of working with record companies, for me it was psychologically liberating that when I did a four color separation of the card, instead of printing it in normal CMYK, I printed in fluorescent versions of those colors. So that meant everything here was printed in a fluorescent color. I loved that. Because if I wanted to use even one special color they would say ok, that's gonna cost ten cents a record, and I'd say we only make forty cents a record. I actually traded off a couple of times with Warner Brothers, don't tell the other band members but sometimes I would trade off 25% of our royalties so that I could have a punch out card on the front of our album. So I printed this in fluorescent colors, and it was so much fun because we took a black light to his studio and once we got to about the third or fourth color we'd turn the lights off and we'd print with a black light, so when I was pulling any of these colors they would look like molten lava. I would take the squeegee and pull it across and the prints were so beautiful.
I got so excited about that that I added in a fifth color, and the fifth color that I added on was phosphorescent ink (glow in the dark ink,) and I put hidden images into each of the six images. On one there is a peace sign, or ricochetting rockets, or a robotic version. So if you have these prints in normal daylight it will look as you see it here, but if it was nighttime and you turn off the lights and it's totally dark in the room all you would see is a glowing image that you haven't seen before. For instance on one there are these two little kids, and there's a parrot and when you turn off the lights the kids were both naked then, and then the parrot had the head of Alfred Hitchcock, so when you turn off the light you have another image with a whole nother story behind it. Each one of the prints have their own secret image that you can't see during the day. I love that.
Then the real amazing bonus is if you bothered to get a black light, I recommend getting one above and one below. How I used to display them in museum and gallery shows is that I would put three of these prints in a row, and then three below it so it was a grid of six prints, and I would take 9 black light tubes, and I would get these fixtures that were the most minimal inside them. They were so awesome because it made it look like these were projections, or video screens, it totally didn't look like paper anymore. I always loved these prints.
They have been in museums around the world. I think the first museum was in Tokyo, and it's been in museums all over. There's a horrible story about 3 years ago, a new employee who was working for me, accidentally destroyed about half of the prints. I was such a hoarder that I had slightly over 100 sets of the prints that I had kept for myself and I'm sorry that I did because so many of them got destroyed in this accident. But you are getting some of these beautiful ones that have been around since 1985." - Mark Mothersbaugh, Mutato Studios, Los Angeles 2022.

| Home // Chiropractic // Who needs chiropractic care?
Anyone can benefit from Chiropractic care from newborns to elderly adults. Chiropractic care is not just for people who experience symptoms or pain. It is for anyone that wants to maintain a healthy lifestyle. It is important for all ages to come to consultations to make sure there is nothing interfering with the nervous system.
Even children can benefit from adjustments. Children go through many hardships on their body while growing up. From birth to learning to walk, to falls, and growing bones, children's musculoskeletal systems are consistently experiencing stress. Chiropractic care on children can help with a plethora of problems such as "colic, ear infections, erratic sleeping habits, bedwetting, scoliosis, "growing pains" and many other common childhood health complaints". Chiropractor care is not too forceful for children. Children normally do not need much force for an adjustment because their muscles have not developed the tightness like that of adults. The techniques can be adjusted to accommodate any size or spinal problems.
People that are experiencing a certain problem or pain may benefit the most from regular chiropractic care. But any age or size person will see the benefits of regular visits.


1. Prepare the garlic, ginger and mix with the salt.
2. Score the chicken fillets with a sharp knife and rub the chicken with the garlic, ginger and salt making sure you also rub the inner scored parts of the meat.
3. Place in a deep dish or bowl.
4. Meanwhile mix the sauce ingredients together in a small jug and pour the mixture over the chicken.
5. Heat a large non-stick frying pan until hot and add the extra sesame oil. Cook the chicken with the scored side down first for 2-3 minutes and turn.
6. Pour the sauce over the chicken and cook until the marinade thickens slightly and the chicken is cooked through, but be careful not to overcook it, as it will become dry.
7. Heat up leftover rice or microwave packet of pre-cooked rice and tip onto a serving platter.
8. Place the chicken on top of the rice. Toast the sesame seeds in the pan and sprinkle over the chicken, garnish with coriander leaves.


In my most recent blog I wrote about the hypothetical world of the television show The Walking Dead and what it would be like to be a dog owner in that world, which has been my entertainment obsession of the last month of so. Although that world is made up and as far as I know, not going to happen, there are other instances like natural disasters or man-made disasters in which some of the lessons learned from watching that television show can help, including making sure you have emergency medical supplies. In fact, in one episode of the show, a veterinary college storeroom played heavily into the story because humans and animals can often take the same medications.
Many of the items in your human first aid kit are useful for dog first aid emergencies but I prefer to have a dog specific kit. I recommend a water tight plastic bin for your dog first aid kit or a backpack or other bag that you can grab and go. Keep items separate in zip top baggies and also include a copy of your dog's veterinary records and instructions for each product also in baggies. Remember that in an emergency you might not have your mobile phone or access to the internet, so going old school with written instructions can be useful or even lifesaving.
Bandages: Include a variety of sizes and types of bandages and band aids, including large and small, rolls of gauze, rolls of bandage tape, and square pads.
Feminine pads and tampons: These products can be surprisingly useful for medical emergencies and they are individually wrapped and clean. My dog Dutch wore a snug human tank top with maxi pads stuck to it after he had a large fatty tumor removed and it worked perfectly to keep the site clean and keep it from leaking on our carpets and furniture. I felt pretty silly adhering them each time and smoothing the wings out, but such is the life of a dog owner. Tampons can be used to stop the bleeding in bullet wounds and other puncture wounds.
Hydrogen peroxide & a measuring spoon: This can be used to induce vomiting; I suggest printing out instructions to include in your kit so you can access the correct dosage quickly. Put the bottle and spoon in a plastic bag and tape the instructions to the outside.
Cotton balls & cotton swabs for cleaning cuts, scrapes and wounds.
Buffered aspirin, Benadryl, Immodium, Pepcid AC and contact lense saline solution: Many over the counter medicines for humans can be beneficial in an emergency. Print out dosage information for your particular dog(s) and keep in a plastic zip top baggie with the medicine so that you do not have to scramble for the information in an emergency. Always check with your veterinarian on the correct dosage and safety information of these if your dog were to need them in an emergency.
This blog does not constitute medical advice; always contact your veterinarian before giving your dog any medicine that is not prescribed by them regardless of what you read anywhere on the internet.
Blanket: Include either a traditional blanket or an emergency foil blanket in your kit to keep your pets warm and dry.
Human t-shirt: This can help keep a large cut or wound clean in an emergency.
Muzzle: I am not recommending a muzzle for normal every day situations, but no matter how close you and your dog are, if she is severely injured, she could nip or bite when you are cleaning a wound or setting a broken bone. The last thing you want is for you and your dog to both be injured during an emergency situation. She will forgive you after you give her plenty of treats after it's all done. This is a worst case scenario item and not something to be used on a regular basis or in an inhumane way.
Antibacterial soap: To clean your hands before tending to an injury or to clean out a wound.
Harness and extra leash: Always use a harness in an emergency situation, as a dog can slip out of a collar and run away in fear.
A way to carry your dog: Whether it is a SAR (Search and Rescue) type harness or a solution like a sheet or a big Sam's Club or Ikea Shopping bag with slits in it for their legs, make sure you have a way to carry even a large dog if he or she becomes unable to walk on their own.
Battery operated hair trimmer or safety razor: In case you need to shave hair to access a cut or wound.
Styptic powder: Used to stop bleeding in torn or cut nails and superficial wounds.
Apple Cider Vinegar: This can be made into an ear wash (50% water, 50% ACV), or mixed with water to be a paw soak, a hot spot spray, a food additive, and many other uses. Print a list of how you can use this natural remedy so you have it without relying on the internet.
Emergency Splints for broken bones or sprains.
Peanut Butter & spoon: This is the ultimate distraction for a dog if you have to tend to a medical issue.
Rubbing alcohol: Use to sterilize any tools before using them on your dog's injury or wound.
Vet wraps: These are self adherent bandages that can be used on wounds, sprains, and other medical issues.
Dog care first aid book: Include a first aid book in your kit so that you do not have to rely on the internet or your mobile phone working during an emergency situation. The Pet Emergency Pocket Guide is easy to toss into your kit.
Lavender Essential Oil can be soothing to anxious dogs and is so concentrated that you can simply let your dog smell the bottle or sniff a drop out of your own hands. Make sure you use only pure, good quality oils and not deodorizers masquerading as pure oils. Do not put on your dog topically or have your ingest any oils without asking the advice of your veterinarian.
In the next blog we will talk about what you should have on hand for emergencies that would put you in a position in which you have to evacuate your home or remain in your home without normal day-to-day services.

Q: Getting long delay while receiving messages from kafka topic in @KafkaListener method I have one topic in kafka, in which pushed millions of records in a hour from other application. My application consumes those messages, problem is when kafka listener receive those messages from kafka topic, it takes long delay in mid of the execution.
Ex:
I've pushed 100k records in kafka topic (financial-topic).
It take 1 to 2 hour to receive last records in kafka listener.
Should i use Thread pool to resolve this problem?
Or any other idea to increase the performance?


DO NOT READ ANY POSTS IN THIS THREAD IF YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED SEASON 2!!
Yes, this is a spoiler thread, but just in case anyone wants to look at these as they finish each chapter, I'm going to put each of these in spoiler tags.
Christa was pregnant in the beginning of Season 2, then we skip to 16 months later, where she's skinny, depressed, and alone with Clem. She lost the baby, obviously, but how? Was it sickness? Lack of food? Taken by zombies?
we don't know. Clem *does* say something towards the end of the fifth chapter, so keep an eye out!
Ahhhh, thanks. Those thoughts all went thru my head and yet, nothing was said in the story to explain it.
In short I shot Kenny, forgave Jane, and invited the family in. When Kenny was dying and telling me that I made the right choice... I almost started sobbing! What a moving scene!
Seeing Lee again... Oh my, I felt so wistful; so very wistful. It was so good to see him again, to talk to him and just hear his voice. Even while I was thinking that it would be a cop-out on the part of the writers to have it all have been a dream, I was still wishing that it was true, that he was still alive. Lee and Clementine were magical together, and the Lee character in particular... I absolutely loved him, and I miss him so much!
I think Season 1 was much better than Season 2 because of the Clem/Lee relationship. I still really enjoyed Season 2 though. Hopefully Season 3 will not be 1.5 years.
1. 16 months later we see Clem and Christa, and Christa is terribly depressed. Clem says, "Talk to me, Christa!" I think that the baby died not long before that scene.
2. In episode 5, after Luke dies, the group is in the unfinished structure. Kenny's outside working on the truck, and Jane is watching the baby in another room because the rest were being noisy. You may have missed it if you didn't try to make Jane hold the baby. "Like this," Clem says, making motions with her arms. Jane mentions that it looks like Clem's had a lot of practice. This scene tells us that Christa DID have the baby, and that s/he survived long enough that Clem was able to get good at dealing with babies. This reinforces my first point.
3. When Jane shows up without Alvie and Kenny asks where he is, Jane's mannerisms suggest that the baby didn't make it. While Kenny runs out the door, Clem says (paraphrasing) "Oh no, not again!" This implies that she's remembering the same happening before, again reinforcing my previous points.
You are far more observant than I Genki!

Youre safest on Britains roads
Category: Raising the standard
AAGareth Robinson Monday, November 22, 2010 at 11:55 AM
You may not be aware of this, but Britain is actually the safest place in the world in which to drive.
The first recorded road death in a motor accident in this country was on 17 August 1896 when Bridget Driscoll, a London housewife, was run over by a Roger-Benz, being driven by motorist Arthur Edsell at four miles per hour. Apparently the poor woman was so shocked at the sight of the car bearing down on her that she froze with fear.
After that things got worse, the death toll through road accidents just grew and grew and in the 60s and 70s it was between 6,000 and 8,000 annually. The worst years for deaths on Britains roads were actually 1934, 1941 (during the blackout of World War Two), and 1966 (the year before alcohol blood limits were introduced and the fitting of seatbelts in new cars made compulsory).
Death's on British Roads Have Halved
But according to a report from the Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM), over the past 20 years deaths on Britains roads have halved, with 31,000 deaths avoided, resulting in savings to the economy of around 50 billion. In 2008 and 2009, deaths fell by 724, down to 2,222, and Britains roads have never been safer. Since 1970, road traffic has increased by a factor of two and a half, but road deaths have fallen by more than two-thirds.
This spectacular reduction in the number of deaths on our roads in recent years has moved the UK to number one in the world road-safety league table of safest roads in 2009, from sixth in 2007 and fourth in 2008. Within the EuropeanUnion, the UK has half the road death rates of Austria, Belgium, Portugal and Luxembourg.
The figures are impressive. Car occupant and motorcyclist deaths each fell by 16 per cent in 2009, 13 per cent fewer pedestrians of all ages were killed, and best of all there was a massive one-third reduction in deaths of children and young people under 16.
Rural Roads Pose A Greater Danger
Rural roads are still the most dangerous apparently, accounting for two-thirds of fatal and serious casualties. Despite this, they have also shown the biggest decrease in deaths over the last ten years, with a 40 per cent reduction. The IAM says that changes to the driving test to include rural roads as a mandatory part of the training, would do much to help this trend continue, and who am I to disagree? Motorways are actually the safest roads to drive on, being accountable for only 132 deaths in 2009, even though they have the highest speed limits and large traffic flows.
But while all of this is good news, the IAM is worried that proposed spending cuts to transport and police budgets could have a disproportionate effect on road safety, and it is urging all public bodies involved in reducing deaths on our roads to continue to make road safety their top priority.
And with each fatal accident on our roads costing the UK economy 1.79 million in lost output, health care, pain and suffering, every life saved is a direct benefit to society and reduces the number of families who will suffer personal grief from the loss of a loved one for years after the event.
As the IAM points out,it would be an awful legacy if budget cuts slowed or even reversed the trend to reduce death and injury on the road. Investing in saving lives on the roads saves the country money, so funding being taken away from this area is a false economy. Public bodies have more freedom than ever on where to spend their resources and they would be well advised to keep road safety high on their priority lists.
Britain is the safest place in the world to drive. Lets keep it that way.

Science, any system of information that's concerned with the physical world and its phenomena and that entails unbiased observations and systematic experimentation In basic, a science involves a pursuit of data protecting common truths or the operations of elementary legal guidelines. What you need to achieve is giving them a good perspective in direction of science and faculty, and this is undoubtedly one way to do that, even if the initiatives are simple. Headlines and summaries of relevant information tales and movies, as well as hyperlinks to topic-specific RSS feeds and email newsletters, are offered on each topic page. To me, trendy philosophy ought to embrace information from each pure science and faith.
Science has helped the students to travel all the world over not just for pleasure but to teach himself about numerous wonders of nature and see historical locations. If your child has an affinity for science encourage them to do experiments that could be a grade stage or two greater than what they're presently studying. Tom obtained his Bachelor of Science from Wayne State University, Detroit, Michigan, and an MBA from Pepperdine University in Malibu, California. All Science Exchange Verified Providers are chosen by our scientists and rated by the group, so you know precisely who you might be working with before you begin. In most of the circumstances the reach of scholars in direction of science and or scientist is restricted.
This will increase your chances of injury, which is sweet information as a result of restoration is the place your physique good points the muscle mass! This is one other great hypothesis to work with when growing science truthful tasks on burning materials. Some science initiatives done as a group may help to develop your child's skill to cooperate and work properly with others. Science and technology have regularly modified human existence by way of the engineering process. Our consciousness continues to be a mystery to natural science as a result of it might probably solely be experienced as a primary-hand, subjective experience!

Biografia
Nato a Jungingen, nella Germania del sud-est, Ulrich si spostò nel Ordenstaat in Prussia e risiedette prevalentemente a Schlochau (Człuchów). Egli divenne Komtur di Balga (1396–1404) e Gran Maresciallo e Komtur di Königsberg (1404–1407). Alla morte del fratello maggiore, il Gran Maestro Konrad von Jungingen, nel 1407, Ulrich venne scelto come suo successore nel titolo di Gran Maestro dell'Ordine Teutonico.

Ulrich guidò le forze teutoniche contro il Regno di Polonia e il Granducato di Lituania nella guerra polacco-lituano-teutonica. Ad ogni modo, egli rimase ucciso nella battaglia di Grunwald, nel 1410.

Il dipinto La Battaglia di Grunwald di Jan Matejko si suppone illustri il momento in cui Ulrich, vestito di bianco con una croce nera, viene ucciso dalla fanteria mentre tentava di attaccare Vitoldo, Granduca di Lituania.

"A nutrient-dense diet may help amp down stress" – writes a blogger at National Public Radio today, in collaboration with Harvard School of Public Health, and I am loving what I am reading.
Image from the post by NPR sums it up quite well.
The article is called Food-Mood Connection: how you can amp up or tamp down stress, you can find it on the NPR website.


The report absolutely places specific blame.
Storm Alberto's extreme weather in North Carolina in May.
One lone gunman with a 6 year old twitter beef and a tree.
more seriously, these kind of annual counts are bogus when a small number of incidents creates a statistical deviation.
What Jarred and euclide said. This does NOT mean that the US is a particularly dangerous place to be a journalist. Our idiot President publicly insults journalists all the time – but that's the biggest danger journalists face here. This year was a major aberration in the US stats, and rsf does a disservice by not saying that front and center.
The figures also aren't adjusted for population or number of journalists working in each country, which makes them useless as a measure of risk.
The report absolutely makes that clear. They divide journalists' deaths into those who were targetted because of their work and those who were not. (About 60% of journalist deaths were targetted.) The four journalists killed at Capital Gazette were targetted. The fact that one infographic has been sucked into the media swirl without any of the surrounding explanatory context, and the fact that some people are conflating "targetted" with "victims of political assassination" is not the fault of RWB.
@1 While I see you are defending Trump here keep in mind that he has done nothing to improve global climate change and in fact made it worse by withdrawing us from the Paris Agreement. So falling trees due to bad weather can still be pinned squarely on his shoulders even if we can't blame his rhetoric in this one case.


Vancouver BC and DENVER, Sept. 26, 2018 – Retail cannabis point of sale software company and part of the iQmetrix group, Cova Software today announced plans to help retailers in Canada improve protection of retail data and Canadian consumer information by migrating all Canadian cannabis retail data to Azure Canada-Central located in Toronto. The move is set to begin September 27.
Currently, Cova hosts its data in the United States, which is in compliance with PIPEDA and relevant provincial legislation. However, ahead of legalization on October 17, Cova is creating a footprint in Canada to host all customer Personally Identifiable Information (PII). After the move, all Canadian customer data will remain in Canada.
With a move to Canada, cannabis retailers operating throughout the country can trust that Cova Software's integrated point of sale system is secured safely and in turn can assure customers that their information will remain in Canada, where cannabis is legal.
We want retailers to understand how critical it is to find a cannabis retail technology partner that can protect sensitive cannabis retail data. Because Cova is in the iQmetrix family — a leading provider of retail management in the cellular industry — we have the most robust data protection solution in the cannabis industry. By sharing organizational infrastructure, we leverage this system at a much lower cost, truly taking advantage of the economies of scale that iQmetrix brings.
The infrastructure that powers Cova Software securely handles more than $16 billion across 200 million transactions every year from Canadian and American companies. Cova is part of an organization that is SSAE18 and PCI-DSS level one complaint and undergoes third-party audits on internal process, change management, physical security, personnel backgrounds, and data infrastructure security.
Cova is the leading POS solution in the cannabis industry. Cova helps retailers simplify compliance, reduce operational cost, and increase revenue through automated compliance, inventory management, mobile reporting dashboard, and express checkout app. The Cova team is relentlessly pursuing the goal of creating the industry's first lovable POS. With a growing network of cannabis industry partners including Baker, I Heart Jane, greenRush, Springbig, Enlighten, and Budvue, a seamless tech ecosystem gives retailers access to the best tools available to run their business. Cova's main offices are in Vancouver BC and Denver.

People of Andhra Pradesh have made a prominent name for themselves in every field: PM Modi in Visakhapatnam
"People of Andhra Pradesh have made a prominent name for themselves in every field"
"The path to development is multidimensional. It focuses on the needs and necessities of the common citizen and presents a roadmap for advanced infrastructure"
"Our vision is of inclusive growth and inclusive development"
"PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan has not only accelerated the pace of infrastructure construction but has also reduced the cost of projects"
"Blue economy has become such a big priority for the first time"
Governor of Andhra Pradesh Shri Biswabhusan ji, Chief Minister Shri Jagan Mohan Reddy ji, my cabinet colleague Ashwini Vaishnaw ji, other dignitaries present here and my brothers and sisters of Andhra Pradesh!
Just a few months back I had the privilege of attending the 125th Birth Anniversary programme of Viplava Veerudu Alluri Sitaramaraju ji with you all. Today once again I have come to the land of Andhra on such an occasion which is a very momentous day for Andhra Pradesh and Visakhapatnam. Visakhapatnam is a very special city of India. There has always been a rich tradition of trade here. Visakhapatnam was an important port in ancient India. Through this port, trade was carried out even thousands of years ago and with regions till West Asia and Rome. And even today Visakhapatnam remains the focal point of India's trade.
The launch and foundation stone laying of projects worth more than Rs 10 thousand crore will become a means to fulfil the aspirations of Andhra Pradesh and Visakhapatnam. These schemes will not only open many new dimensions like infrastructure, Ease of Living and self-reliant India, but will also take the development journey to new heights. I extend my heartiest congratulations to all the people of Andhra Pradesh for the same. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the former Vice President of our country, Shri Venkaiah Naidu Garu and also Shri Hari Babu. Whenever we meet, we talk a lot about the development of Andhra. Their love and dedication for Andhra is unparalleled.
The people of Andhra Pradesh have a very special quality. They are very affectionate and hardworking by nature. Today, in almost every corner of the world, people of Andhra Pradesh are showcasing their talent in every field. Be it education or business, technology or medical profession, the people of Andhra Pradesh have made a distinct identity in every field. This identity has been created not only because of their professional quality but also due to their friendly nature. The cheerful and lively personality of the people of Andhra Pradesh makes everyone their fan. Telugu speaking people are always in search for excellence. They always strive to do better. I am glad that the development projects which have either been inaugurated or the foundation stones laid today will also further improve the pace of progress in Andhra Pradesh.
In the 'Azadi Ka AmritKaal', the country is moving fast on the path of development with the goal of a developed India. This journey of development is multifaceted. It includes our concern for the needs related to the lives of ordinary citizens. It also includes the development of the best modern infrastructure. Our vision on infrastructure is also clearly visible in today's programme. Our vision is to ensure inclusive development and inclusive growth. Regarding infrastructure, we have never wasted our time on questions like : whether to develop railways or road transport? Whether to concentrate on the ports or the highways? The country has suffered a lot due to this isolated view of infrastructure. This had affected the supply chain and increased logistics costs.
Supply chain and logistics depend on multi-modal connectivity. That's why we adopted a new approach regarding the development of infrastructure. We focused our attention on the integrated view of development. The Economic Corridor, the foundation stone of which has been laid today, has a provision for a 6-lane road. A separate road will also be built to reach the port. On the one hand we are beautifying the Visakhapatnam railway station while on the other hand we are developing a state-of-the-art fishing harbour.
This integrated view of infrastructure was possible because of the PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan. The Gati Shakti plan has not only accelerated the pace of infrastructure development, but has also reduced the cost of projects. Multi Modal Transport System is the future of every city and Visakhapatnam has taken a step forward in this direction. I know that the people of Andhra have been waiting for these projects for a long time. And today as the wait is coming to an end, Andhra Pradesh and its coastal regions will move ahead in this race for development with a new momentum.
Today the whole world is passing through a new era of challenges. There is a shortage of essential goods in some countries, while some countries are facing energy crisis. Almost every country is concerned about its declining economic growth. But amidst everything, India is scaling great heights in myriad fields. India is writing a new saga of development. While you are experiencing it, the entire world is keenly taking note of it.
You must be observing how experts and intellectuals are praising India. Today India has become the focal point of the expectations of the whole world. This was possible because today India is working by keeping the expectations and needs of its citizens paramount. Every policy and every decision taken by us has the sole objective of improving the life of the common man. Today, investment in India is increasing due to policies like PLI scheme, GST, IBC, National Infrastructure Pipeline and Gati Shakti. At the same time, the schemes being run for the welfare of the poor are also continuously expanding.
In this journey of development, today those areas of the country are also included, which were marginalized before. Even in the most backward districts, schemes related to development are being implemented through the Aspirational Districts programme. Crores of poor people of the country are being given free food grains for the last two and a half years. For the last three and a half years, Rs 6,000 each are directly reaching the farmers' accounts every year through the PM Kisan Yojana. Similarly, due to our policies related to the sunrise sectors, new opportunities are being created for the youth. From drones to gaming, from space to start-ups, every sector is getting a chance to move forward because of our policies.
When the goals are clear, be it the heights of the sky, or the depths of the ocean, we seek opportunities and carve them out. For example, deep water energy will be extracted through modern technology in Andhra. Today, the country is also making extensive efforts to fulfil the infinite possibilities associated with the Blue Economy. Blue economy has become such a major priority of the country for the first time.
Now facilities like Kisan Credit Cards are also available for fishermen. Today, the work of modernizing Visakhapatnam Fishing Harbour has started. This will make life easier for our fishermen. As the power of the poor increases, and they have access to the opportunities associated with modern infrastructure, our dream of a developed India will also be fulfilled.
The sea has been a source of wealth and prosperity for India for centuries, and our coasts have served as gateways to this prosperity. Today, projects worth thousands of crores of rupees are underway in the country for port-led development. They will expand further in future. Today, India of the 21st century is implementing the idea of holistic development. I am sure, Andhra Pradesh will continue to play a crucial role in this campaign of development for the country.
With this determination, heartiest thanks to all of you once again!
Raise both your hands and say aloud with me –
Bharat Mata Ki Jai!
Thanks a lot !

What is the intention of the new Commission with regard to the follow-up on the study completed at the request of the previous Commission entitled 'The employment effect of subsidies' (SOC 94 100018 05A01)?
The Commission continuously monitors and analyses the topics examined in the study referred to by the Honourable Member. This study is part of a pool of research that provides input for various policy initiatives and recommendations of the Commission.
The study in question was published in 1995 and analysed the impact of giving all employers a fixed subsidy per worker, to be financed by a 5% rise in VAT. The paper estimates that this measure would increase output by up to 2.8% and employment by up to 4.0%, with expansion stimulated most in the low-paid low-skill sectors.
There has been further research regarding the subject of 'revenue neutral ways of reducing unemployment' in several studies done by or for the Commission. In 2014 the Commission issued in the context of the Semester exercise Country Specific Recommendations to eleven Member States regarding shifting taxation away from labour.

A COMBINATION PLOW, RABBET AND BEADING PLANE, No. 405, by Record Tool Works, Sheffield, England. Unquestionably the best modern attempt to replicate the quality and functionality of the Stanley No. 45 combination plane, the Record No. 405 has, because of that quality, become collectible itself. A woodworker seeking to purchase a high quality, investment grade, working tool would be well advised to consider this immaculate and complete example.


You just haven't seen it have you?
Seriously bleak setting framed in love triangle. Sounds lame but all that human relation drama just underscored the original reality. Left me almost screaming WHY!!!
Is it a Finnish film?
Is any film a Finnish film?
Yeah, generally when the credits roll up.
You almost had it, KBM. Kannst du es graben?
There you go laddie. Du kannst es graben.

Usually, my goals are vague. Such as, "Finish writing book x." When I plan out every detail of my year, I get overwhelmed; however, I don't want to under-reach either. So, in the name of balance, I'm digging a little deeper but not getting overly specific.
Finish drafting UF, including the new outline and synopsis.
Draft YA screenplay, as yet untitled.
This is day 1! So far, so good.
Enjoy some R&R with Mom on a cruise to Nova Scotia!
Over the rest of the year, I'll check in with blog posts on each of these areas. You'll keep me honest, right? Feel free to inspire me and others in the comments with how you track and meet your own goals.

El falaropo de pico grueso, falaropo picogrueso falaropo rojo, falaropo gris o pollito de mar rojizo (Phalaropus fulicarius) es un ave limícola. Este falaropo habita en las regiones árticas de Norteamérica y Eurasia. Es una especie migratoria y normalmente sigue rutas oceánicas, invernando en mares tropicales.

El falaropo de pico grueso mide unos 21 cm de longitud media, con pies palmeados y pico recto. Durante el período de cría la hembra muestra un plumaje pardo oscuro y negro en el dorso, con vientre rojo y mejillas blancas. El pico es amarillo, con la punta negra. Durante el período de cría el macho muestra un plumaje más apagado que la hembra. Los individuos jóvenes muestran un plumaje gris claro y marrón, con el vientre más claro y un antifaz negro en torno a los ojos. Durante el invierno los falaropos de pico grueso muestran un plumaje gris en la parte superior, y blanco en la inferior, pero el plumaje negro en torno a los ojos siempre está presente. El pico es de color negro en invierno. Su llamada consiste en un corto y agudo "bik".

El falaropo de pico grueso es una especie muy dócil y tranquila. Es una de las especies a las que se aplica el Acuerdo de Conservación de Aves acuáticas Migratorias de África-Eurasia.

Reproducción

Al contrario que en la mayoría de especies de aves, el papel sexual está invertido en las distintas especies de falaropos: las hembras presentan un tamaño mayor y un plumaje de color más vivo que los machos; las hembras cortejan a los machos, compiten por el territorio de anidamiento y defienden agresivamente a sus parejas y nidos. Cuando las hembras ponen sus huevos, que son de color marrón oliváceo, comienzan su migración hacia el sur, dejando que los machos incuben los huevos y cuiden de los jóvenes. La puesta media consiste de 3-6 huevos, en un nido situado en el suelo, cerca del agua. Los jóvenes se alimentan principalmente por sí mismos y son capaces de volar a los 18 días de su nacimiento.

Alimentación
Cuando se alimenta, el falaropo de pico grueso a menudo nada en círculos pequeños y rápidos, formando un pequeño remolino. Se cree que esta conducta le ayuda a elevar su alimento del fondo de los estanques. El falaropo permanece en el borde del remolino, atrapando pequeños insectos y crustáceos con su pico. A veces vuela para atrapar insectos al vuelo. En el océano abierto muchas veces aparece en lugares donde convergen corrientes oceánicas y cerca de grupos de ballenas. Fuera de la estación de cría, suele viajar en bandadas.

Apple has confirmed all the pre-event speculation, new Apple TV software, new Macs, no desktops, and the all-new MacBook Pro Touch Bar.
Touch Bar replaces the Function keys at the top of the keyboard. It's a Multi-Touch Retina Display, just like an iPhone screen, which means it offers dynamic virtual controls that dynamically change in reaction to what you are doing and the apps you are using. Apple CDO, Jony Ive, says the Touch Bar means, "Commands, once hidden, now more accessible." Touch Bar also integrates a TouchID sensor, so you can open your Mac with a fingerprint and purchase products online.
Tapping the Touch Bar activates the available contextual control or item; touching and holding an item activates any secondary action and panning moves elements, so you can slide volume controls, images or a video time line.
The right hand side of the Touch Bar offers an expandable Control Strip for system level tasks, such as Siri. The area to the left of the Control Strip zone is for app-specific controls, and an Esc button may appear to the left of the app region. Users can configure the Touch Bar, adding and removing items from the Control Strip or hiding the App region as they choose. Here are some of the things I've already learned it does.
How do you customize controls?
Tap View>Customize Touch Bar from the Finder menu, and you can take a look at all the available buttons you can use. Just drag them down to the Touch Bar if you want them.
How can I use Touch Bar today?
You can take a look at the Touch Bar today at your local Apple Store, but if you aren't near a store you could download the latest Xcode 8.1 release, which offers a Touch Bar simulator so you can get a sense of the thing. (Personally, I think Apple should create an interactive webpage to give users a sense of the thing).
Wait, what about the Esc key?
The Esc key should still be available on the Touch Bar, but if you really need one you can set your Caps Lock key to act as a physical Esc key following these instructions.
Some developers have been working with Apple to bring Touch Bar support to their products. Pixelmator Labs, Serif, BlackMagic Design, Microsoft, Adobe, Algoriddim , Sketch, and (of course) Apple have all announced plans to support the feature, and the first apps that do support it should ship at around the same time as the new MacBook Pros begin to be delivered. Apple has also released Xcode 8.1, which offers the tools developers need to support Touch Bar in their apps. (When developers get hold of a Touch Bar Mac they will also benefit from Xcode shortcuts that use the bar).
Thou shalt not: Use Touch Bar as a second display; Should not display alert messages, scrolling or static content, or anything that distracts user attention; the Touch Bar shalt not display animation and color must be tasteful and minimal.
Thou shalt: Use Touch Bar as an extension of the keyboard and trackpad; Controls and buttons to be similar in appearance to those on the physical trackpad.
Apple wants to make sure users can focus on what they are trying to do. However, I think Apple may need to relax one set of rules, which demand that "in general" the Touch Bar shouldn't include controls for well-known keyboard shortcuts, such as undo, copy, or save. I have this feeling developers will find compelling reasons to relax the restriction. I do think it's a little odd that widgets aren't yet permitted here, though Apple is correct in attempting to protect and improve existing workflow patterns, rather than forcing users to change how they get things done. Incremental innovation is the watchword here.
Senior VP, software engineering Craig Federighi said, "I think there will be this next wave – you can create the control for whatever you want to do next in your app…..We know inherently this is a device with so much potential because it's just a versatile Multi-Touch display. When you get it in the hands of these developers and it's like, 'We didn't think of that, but that's just awesome.'" This means we can expect some interesting WWDC Award winners in 2017.
"What's neat about dragging buttons down from the screen to the Touch Bar is that you can keep moving them with the mouse on the second screen." Verge.
"One thing's for sure, though: the tech is solid. The slightly raised platform is remarkably responsive, and the screen is so vibrant it almost looks like Apple slapped a sticker over it. There's virtually no lag…" Wired.
"Touch Bar looks like the kind of thing that those who spend all day on a laptop will grow to really love." Recode.
Apple originally promised that Touch Bar-equipped MacBook Pros would be available in 2-3 weeks. They were, but only briefly: at this point the new models are showing a 4-5 week shipping estimate as initial inventory is sold out. Apple also surprised Brexit Britain with a 20 percent price increase this morning.
