Minister's Minimum Wage Plans Would Be Fatal For Germany's Startup Scene
By Christoph Gerlinger |
This is a guest column from Christoph Gerlinger of the German Startups Group
The startup scene is an important engine for Germany as a business location. In Berlin alone, more than 60,000 workers are employed in the fledgling digital economy, which has also created an estimated 100,000 jobs through the multiplier effect. In no other industry has the creation of new jobs been as strong as in information and telecommunications technology.
This idea has taken hold with top politicians from both parties in Germany's coalition government, the Social Democrats (SPD) and the Christian Democratic Union (CDU, together with its Bavarian sister party, the CSU) of Angela Merkel. In recent months, several of them – from Transport Minister Alexander Dobrindt and Economics Minister Sigmar Gabriel to Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble and Chancellor Merkel herself – have spoken of a commitment to developing the startup scene and its digital pioneers.
The proposed federal minimum wage of €8.50 per hour – which would also apply to interns, known in German as Praktikanten – would have fatal consequences for the startup scene. In nearly every startup, these Praktikanten are working for less money or are waiving part of a full salary, and mostly for longer periods than the proposed minimum wage exemption of six weeks.
In young Internet companies, for example, the amount of salary is usually not the decisive factor for would-be employees. Rather, it is non-pecuniary criteria such as creative tasks, flat hierarchies, higher degrees of freedom, a steep learning curve, numerous opportunities to have a real impact on a company, the prospect of lucrative permanent employment with the same criteria, and last but not least existing or potential holdings in the kinds of growing companies that regularly produce young Internet millionaires, even in Germany.
These are the reasons why some highly-qualified graduates happily choose an internship at a startup over a well-paid permanent position in the traditional economy. In this way they can take their first footsteps in the digital world, which brings with it the chance to start their own business.
The decision to go for such a placement is almost always made by someone who knows the score and can make a clear judgement. The paternalism of politicians is not needed in any way. The most highly-qualified candidates are not at any risk of being exploited, as Labour Minister Andrea Nahles probably assumes, but rather, they often have a job offer from a strategy consulting company, investment bank or law firm on the table or are even giving up such a job which they have lined up in order to work for a startup.
Young startups also do not often have a cushion of capital that allows them to straight away pay market rates for top notch talent in product development and winning market share. That does not happen for some time. A minimum wage would therefore not be effective at all.
Indeed, with the proposed minimum wage, they simply could not employ as many people and the startup project would be made utterly impossible. Often the founders and managing directors pay themselves no wage initially, or only a very small amount to cover the cost of living, which in view of the resulting workload – usually more than 40 hours per week – would also work out as less than €8.50 per hour. Merely excluding university students working as Praktikanten for six weeks or less from the minimum wage is not going to be of much help to the startup scene. Believing that such an exception would be effective is completely unrealistic.
Managing directors should be excluded from the minimum wage and Praktikanten too for up to six months, the exception should not be dependent on whether it is a course-related internship and investment opportunities and options to purchase company shares should be included in an appropriate manner in the calculation of hourly pay.
The introduction of the minimum wage without such exceptions and arrangements would be doing the German economy and employees in Germany themselves a disservice. The startups which had not yet established themselves as stable businesses would immediately be forced to move abroad, and new startups would no longer look at this country as a good place to set up shop. In this way, politicians, out of supposedly noble motives, would be squandering the massive opportunities for the sustainable development of a globally-relevant innovation hub, which would mean throwing away job creation and direct government income from the creation of wealth, such as tax revenue from the individual assets of founders.
If the supposed political advocates of the startup scene, Ministers Dobrindt, Gabriel and Schäuble and Chancellor Merkel, are not determined to stop Minister Nahles' plan in its current form, they would expose their expressions of support to the startup scene as the mere payment of lip service.
Christoph Gerlinger is the founder and CEO of the German Startups Group Berlin AG, a young Berlin-based venture capital provider. He previously founded two startups himself, building them up to around 200 employees before taking them to the stock market.

It took four tries for the weather to cooperate, but on Sunday afternoon, a Cygnus cargo spacecraft loaded with 3.3 metric tons of critical crew supplies launched toward the International Space Station. Riding to orbit aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket for the very first time, Cygnus lifted off right at the start of a 30-minute window at 4:44 p.m. EST (21:44 UTC). This is the first Cygnus to reach orbit following the destruction of an Antares rocket in October 2014.
A United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket blasts into space, carrying an ISS-bound Cygnus resupply spacecraft.
"The countdown was exceptionally smooth, said Vern Thorp, the NASA mission manager for United Launch Alliance. "It was one of those countdowns that makes it look kind of boring."
Three consecutive launch attempts on Thursday, Friday and Saturday were called off due to high winds, clouds and precipitation at Cape Canaveral, Florida. A bleak forecast yesterday prompted controllers to scrub several hours ahead of launch time in order to give ground crews extra rest.
Today, Air Force forecasters predicted a 70 percent chance of favorable weather, and winds at launch time were within acceptable limits.
"We're done talking about the winds for the week, Thorp said. "We've been talking about winds all week, and that's enough."
Following liftoff, the Atlas quickly disappeared into cloud cover. But NASA TV viewers were treated to stunning live views courtesy of cameras aboard the rocket. A shot from the Centaur upper stage showed the sun slowly dipping toward Earth's horizon as the vehicle crossed the Atlantic Ocean into nightfall.
The sun dips lower on the horizon as a United Launch Alliance Atlas V Centaur upper stage pushes an ISS-bound Cygnus supply spacecraft across the Atlantic Ocean.
Over the next three days, Cygnus will raise its orbit, arriving at the ISS on Wednesday, December 9. It will approach autonomously, stopping 10 meters beneath the station's Harmony module, Node 2—the laboratory's forward-most junction. NASA astronaut Kjell Lindgren, assisted by Scott Kelly, will grab Cygnus with the station's robotic Canadarm. Lindgren will move Cygnus over to Unity, Node 1, for berthing at the Earth-facing port.
Cygnus will become the first cargo ship to berth at Unity. This will allow SpaceX's Dragon—which NASA officials say is scheduled to launch no earlier than January 8—room to dock at Harmony.
"You give the crew the flexibility to have actually two cargo vehicles berthed to the station at the same time," said Frank Culbertson, president of Orbital ATK's space systems group, during a pre-launch briefing last week.
The return of Cygnus to flight provides a much-needed logistical boost for NASA and its ISS partners. Starting with the failure of Antares in October 2014, three cargo resupply spacecraft were lost in less than a year. A Soyuz Progress vehicle spun out of control in April 2015, and a SpaceX Dragon was destroyed in June.
NASA laid out the mission's high stakes during last week's briefing. "We have, basically, toilet supplies through February of next year," said ISS program manager Kirk Shireman. "And food—we hit our warning line, if you will, February 19th, and right now our projection is we'd be out of food on April 12."
"No pressure, right?" said Culbertson. "I didn't know that toilet supplies were so low."
Today's Cygnus flight marked United Launch Alliance's twelfth and final launch of 2015. The company is planning for 16 launches in 2016, with 12 scheduled from Cape Canaveral. That includes another Cygnus-Atlas resupply flight scheduled for spring.

The official PA daily reported that she launched the UN campaign last week, and noted that she is the "mother of seven prisoners and of the Shahid (Martyr) Abd Al-Mun'im Abu Hmeid." However, the paper did not mention that 4 of her imprisoned sons are murderers.
Palestinian Media Watch reported last year that Abu Hmeid then had 4 sons in Israeli prisons who were each serving between two and seven life sentences, a total of 18 life sentences. At that time she was in the news because the PA Minister of Prisoners' Affairs, Issa Karake, decided to honor her with an award, "the Plaque of Resoluteness and Giving... inscribed with the names of her four sons who are imprisoned."
Nasser Abu Hmeid - 7 life sentences + 50 years - commander in Fatah's military wing the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades in Ramallah. Convicted of killing seven Israeli civilians and 12 attempted murders.
Nasr Abu Hmeid - 5 life sentences - Member of terror faction of Fatah, Tanzim, and convicted of involvement in two terror attacks and arms dealing.
Sharif Abu Hmeid - 4 life sentences - a member in one of the brothers' units carrying out terror attacks against civilians and soldiers. Accompanied a suicide bomber to his attack in March 2002.
Muhammad Abu Hmeid - 2 life sentences + 30 years - involvement in terror attacks.
A fifth son, Abd Al-Mun'im Muhammad Yusuf Naji Abu Hmeid, the one reffered to as "Martyr," was a member of the military wing of Hamas, Izz A-Din Al-Qassam Brigades, and planned and carried out the ambush and murder of an Israeli intelligence officer.
Wahdan: "We of the 'Palestine - the 194th state' national campaign [calling for] a Palestinian state with full sovereignty on the territory of Palestine, send a delegation from institutions, organizations, and popular factions. This delegation was headed by Um Nasser Abu Hmeid - this fighter woman, who is the mother of seven prisoners and the mother of the heroic Shahid (Martyr) from the [military wing of Hamas] Izz A-Din Al-Qassam Brigades. This campaign included a letter in which the people demand that the UN recognize Palestine as a state with full sovereignty, like the other countries."
"The 'Palestine - the 194th State' campaign has embarked on its national activities in support of realization [of the appeal to the UN] in September and obtaining UN membership for the State of Palestine, by conveying a letter to the UN Secretary General, Ban Ki Moon, via his representative in Ramallah. The campaign started out opposite the UN building in Ramallah, with the participation of a number of heads of factions and national forces, representatives of official and popular institutions, independent personalities, and members of trade unions. Hajja Latifa Abu Hmeid, mother of seven prisoners and of the Shahid (Martyr) Abd Al-Mun'im Abu Hmeid, handed the letter to the representative of the UN Secretary General in Ramallah."
"[In a procession which set off] yesterday from opposite the Cultural Auditorium in Ramallah in the direction of the UN representative office in Ramallah, the 'Palestine - the 194th State' national campaign was inaugurated... when Latifa Abu Hmeid, known as the 'mother of the prisoners', handed over a letter addressed to UN Secretary General, Ban Ki-Moon, via his representative in Ramallah... She was chosen [for this] because she is a symbol of Palestinian suffering as a result of the occupation's (i.e., Israel's) policy... She is the mother of prisoners Muhammad Abu Hmeid and his brothers Nasr, Nasser, Sharif, Basel, Islam and Jihad. She is prevented from seeing her sons who are sitting in the occupation's prisons."

Guardians of the Galaxy was a huge surprise hit in 2014, one that I enjoyed a lot but didn't love as much as most. It was fun, quirky, referential and vibrant, with a fantastic cast that catapulted Chris Pratt to superstardom. Naturally, this made me concerned about the inevitable sequel, Vol, 2, because I knew it would be facing unreasonable expectations and must find ways to rekindle the magic of the original while also coming up with something fresh.
For the most part, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 lives up to the bare minimum of expectations without doing much more. It builds upon the mythology of the first film, giving us a new adventure with a more personal slant, further opportunities for character development and building team chemistry, and still plenty of nostalgia and irreverent humour to put a smile on our faces. Like its predecessor, Vol. 2 was a fun couple of hours, but it also did not wow me in the way the best Marvel films tend to do.
Set no long after the events of the original, the Guardians of the Galaxy — Peter Quill (Pratt), Gamora (Zoe Saldana), Drax (Dave Bautista), Rocket (voiced by Badley Cooper) and Baby Groot (voiced by Vin Diesel) — are now working together to fight an inter-dimensional monster at the behest of the Sovereign race, basically a bunch of uptight people in gold paint led by the statuesque Ayesha (Aussie Elizabeth Debicki). When the Guardians fall out of favour with the Sovereigns, Quill's adoptive father Yondu (Michael Rooker) is hired to capture them. This leads to an encounter with Ego the living planet (Kurt Russell), a celestial being who reveals himself as having a connection to Quill. By Ego's side is Mantis (Pom Kleentieff), a socially awkward girl with emphatic powers and antennae on her head.
Guardians has a different vibe to the other Marvel films because of its unabashed wackiness and irreverent tone. Groot and Rocket aren't supposed to work as characters, but they do because of the superb writing and direction of James Gunn, whose talents are again on full display here. With bright colours, well-choreographed comic book space action, likable characters, fast and furious jokes, classic 80s music, and the cuteness of Baby Groot, Vol. 2 is a light and fun popcorn experience.
The cast is of course fabulous. Pratt looks very comfortable as Quill and spews out a bunch of witty wisecracks, though the majority of the comic relief this time goes to Drax, especially in his interactions with Mantis. And while cute doesn't usually do much for me, Baby Groot does have a few nice moments. Yondu gets a bigger role this time and Rooker really shines by giving the character a lot of heart. Bradley and Saldana provide more of the emotional punch this time around with their character arcs, in particular Gamora's relationship with her sister Nebula (Karen Gillan). That's already a great cast, and I haven't even mentioned legends Kurt Russell and Sylvester Stallone (who has a cameo), in their first reunion since Tango and Cash 28 years ago!
That said, I do have quite a few issues with Vol. 2. For starters, while I did laugh quite a few times at the gags, I found the humour a lot more hit and miss this time around, with some of the jokes coming across as too obvious. The biggest issue I had, however, was the actual plot, because it feels like not much actually happens. There's a long lull after the Guardians encounter Ego, and I actually found myself a little bored by some of the slower sequences during this phase. It just didn't feel like there was enough substance to justify a 136-minute running time.
So yeah, though I wasn't disappointed in Vol. 2, I was hoping for a bit more. In terms of quality and entertainment value, the drop-off from its predecessor is not huge, but at the same time it felt like a somewhat safe sequel that does not go beyond to deliver what could have been a special experience. Instead, it's just a solid albeit unspectacular continuation of the story.

Home/U.S./A corrupted file caused an FAA ground stop. It is also found in the backup system
A corrupted file caused an FAA ground stop. It is also found in the backup system
(CNN) – Officials are still trying to figure out exactly what caused Wednesday's FAA system outage, but have traced it to a corrupted file, which was first reported by CNN.
In a statement late Wednesday, the FAA said it was continuing to investigate the outage and "is taking all necessary steps to prevent this type of outage from occurring again."
"Our preliminary work has traced the outage to a corrupted database file. There is no evidence of a cyber attack at this time," the FAA said.
The FAA is still trying to determine whether a single person or "routine login" to the database was responsible for the corrupted file, a government official familiar with the investigation into the NOTAM system outage told CNN.
Another source familiar with the FAA operation described exclusively to CNN on Wednesday how the outage unfolded.
When air traffic control officials realized they had a computer problem late Tuesday, they came up with a plan, the source said, to restart the system when it would least disrupt air travel, early Wednesday morning.
But in the end, that plan and the disruption led to massive flight delays and an unprecedented order to ground all aircraft flights across the country.
The computer system that failed was the central database for all NOTAMs (Notice to Air Missions) across the country. These notices advise pilots of problems along their route and at their destination. It has a backup that employees switched to when problems occurred with the main system, according to the source.
FAA officials told reporters early Wednesday that the problems developed at 3:00 PM ET on Tuesday.
Officials eventually discovered a corrupted file in the main NOTAM system, the source told CNN. A corrupt file was also detected in the backup system.
In the overnight hours of Tuesday into Wednesday, FAA officials decided to shut down and restart the main NOTAM system — an important decision because the restart could take about 90 minutes, according to the source.
They decided to carry out the restart early Wednesday, before air traffic began to fly along the East Coast, to minimize flight disruptions.
"They thought they were going to beat the rush," the source said.
During this early morning process, the FAA told reporters that the system was "starting to come back online," but said it would take time to resolve.
The system, according to the source, "has returned but has not fully pushed out the relevant information needed for a safe flight and appears to be taking longer to do so."
The FAA then issued a national ground blackout around 7:30 a.m. ET, halting all domestic departures.
Planes in the take-off queue were held up before entering the runways. Flights already in the air are notified verbally of the safety notes by air traffic controllers who keep a static electronic or paper record on their desks of the active notes.
Transport Secretary Pete Buttigieg ordered a review after the action and also said there was "no direct evidence or indication" that the problem was a cyber attack.
The source said the NOTAM system is an example of outdated infrastructure that needs to be overhauled.
"Due to budget issues and budget flexibility, this technology refresh was delayed," the source said. "I guess now they'll actually find the money to do it."
"The FAA's infrastructure is much more than just bricks and mortar."
Investments in the agency will be examined this year by Congress when the five-year FAA Reauthorization Act signed in 2018 expires.

This article originally published in The Northern Daily Leader on 22 June 2013.
I am writing this week's column in my hotel room in Sydney, where I am for a week, visiting clients and having meetings. Actually, most of my time is spent trapped in Sydney's traffic, with only a small portion of my actual time in Sydney devoted to other activities such as eating, sleeping and meeting with my clients. An hour in Sydney's traffic is a reminder of why many people choose to live outside Sydney and the other capital cities. If I have to drive anywhere, I try to beat Sydney's rush hour by leaving the hotel at 6:00 am, only to find that at least two million other drivers have had the same idea, leaving us all sitting in the pre-dawn gloom in endless traffic jams. Trips across town have to be planned with military precision, and a single wrong turn can add ten minutes to your journey. It's no surprise that for many visitors to Sydney, their most enjoyable drive is the one back home to the country.
Stuck in yet another traffic jam, I began to wonder about the true cost of such an existence. When economists discuss the growth rate of the economy, they do so in terms of the change in gross domestic product, or GDP as it is better known. GDP is essentially the value of all goods and services produced in a country over a given period of time. It's a dry statistical calculation which keeps a small army of public servants in a job and gives the media something to talk about every three months. The problem with GDP however, is that it may give you an idea of how rich a country is, but it doesn't tell you much about the quality of life. It's entirely possible for an economy to be growing strongly, but for its citizens to be depressed and miserable due to factors such as stress, pollution and overwork. Is it better to be rich and miserable, or poorer but happier?
For an answer we can turn to the fourth Dragon King of Bhutan, Jigme Singye Wangchuck, who coined the phrase Gross National Happiness, or GNH. GNH was seen as an alternative to GDP; a subjective measure that attempted to take into account quality of life, not just the level of economic activity. Calculating GNH meant taking into account physical, mental and social wellness, in addition to the usual economic variables. Unfortunately no-one has yet worked out a gross national happiness index for regional Australia as compared to Sydney or the other major cities, but as I sat in the car thinking about the 20 minutes it was going to take me to drive just five kilometres, I was pretty sure what it might say.


All together, there are some seventeen mentions of God stretching the heavens! Don't make the mistake of taking these seventeen references as allegory or fancy wordplay. These is much more than that, as evidenced by other attributes of space clearly declared in the Scriptures long before high-technology proved their existence. For instance, it declared that space can be torn (Isaiah 64:1), worn out (Psalm 102:25), shaken (Hebrews 12:26; Haggai 2:6; Isaiah 13:13), burnt up ( 2 Peter 3:12), split (Revelation 6:14), and rolled up like alike a scroll (Hebrews 1:12; Isaiah 34:4).
All of these conditions seem to presuppose a tangibility of space that is not obvious, and goes a long way toward vindicating what otherwise would be considered nothing more than poetic descriptions of God's authority over nature. Further, each points to the fascinating topic of hyperspaces. The very fact that empty space can be "rolled," as noted by the Scriptures, indicates beyond question that a three-dimensional universe exists in a fourth dimension.
I will forgo any further discussion on these in particular as we have analyzed the characteristics of these first four dimensions previously. Even so, I will add this before moving on. Each dimension inevitably builds upon the others, and one existing across multiple dimensional planes possesses hyperdimensionality. We are limited in our dimensionality to being essentially three-dimensional beings existing and operating in a fourth dimension; that fourth dimension being space-time.
If we consider how God undoubtedly exists in a realm of dimensionality far beyond our own, understanding the freedoms such a position would grant, we then can clearly reconcile His ability to freely interact with each of us – indeed all things – simultaneously and completely, yet in such a way that seems to preclude tangible observation. He deals with each of us where we are, in ways we cannot even imagine, knowing us more completely than we even know ourselves, for the spatial limitations of our world cannot not infringe His abilities. He interacts with every single person who has ever lived, who will ever live, and knows everything about them and every decision they will ever make, because His vantage is one outside of our dimensionality. He is outside of our time and our space, but He can interact with all aspects of it.
That's all fine and good to say, but do the Scriptures have anything that concurs with this? They do, in fact.

Ether's price is under bearish pressure against the US dollar and bitcoin. ETH/USD could trade in a range below $600.00 for some time before the next move.
Ether's price failed to settle above the $610.00 resistance and declined against the US dollar.
A crucial resistance is formed near $600.00 on the 6-hour chart of ETH/USD.
ETH/BTC struggled to hold the 0.0800BTC support and declined once again.
Technically, the hourly chart indicators are flat near midlines in the bearish territory.
Yesterday, we discussed an important resistance near $610.00 on the 2-hour chart of ETH/USD. The pair failed to break the $610.00 and $615.00 resistance levels and retreated toward $570.00.
More importantly, ETH/BTC failed to hold gains above 0.0800BTC and started a downward wave. It seems like the pair is forming a three-wave correction pattern and is currently in the third wave below 0.0800BTC.
Looking at the 6-hour chart of ETH/USD, there is choppy price action near the $600.00 resistance. The last five to six candles indicate indecision and lack of volumes for a follow-through above a crucial resistance near $600.00.
The price struggled to move above the 38.2 Fibonacci retracement level of the last drop from the $722.63 high to $543.48 low near $611.00. Therefore, a successful close above the $600.00 and $610.00 resistance levels is required to decrease the current bearish pressure.
Dropping down to the hourly chart of ETH/USD, there were two recovery waves above $570.00, but both failed near the $610.00 and $615.00 levels. On the downside, there is a decent support forming around the $570.00 level.
A failure to move above the $600.00 and $610.00 resistance levels could put a lot of pressure on Ether buyers, and the price may break the $570.00 pivot to retest the $550.00 support area.
Overall, the current price action is bearish as long as the price is below $610.00, with gains beyond this needed to confirm an interim bottom and further gains ahead.
The RSI is flat near the 35 level.
The MACD is mostly signaling bearish bias.

Fort Resolution, N.W.T., woman overdoses on crack, fentanyl
Stephanie McNeely says she's grateful to be alive after overdosing on crack and fentanyl, and is sharing her story to warn young people about the danger of drugs.
'The medevac team said that I stopped breathing,' says Stephanie McNeely
CBC News · Posted: Oct 26, 2015 12:47 PM EDT | Last Updated: October 26, 2015
Stephanie McNeely nearly died last week in Fort Resolution, N.W.T., when she overdosed after mixing crack cocaine and fentanyl. She stopped breathing during the medevac flight to Yellowknife. (CBC)
A woman from Fort Resolution, N.W.T., says she's grateful to be alive after a drug overdose, and now she's sharing her story to warn young people about the danger of drugs.
Stephanie McNeely nearly died when she overdosed after mixing crack cocaine with the prescription narcotic fentanyl — a drug that's been linked to hundreds of deaths in Canada in recent years.
McNeely, 30, went on an all-night binge in the community last week.
"The people that I was sitting with said I just collapsed and started having a seizure," McNeely says.
"She was on the floor," says Kim Giroux, McNeely's cousin. "She wasn't conscious, but she was going through seizures like every 30 seconds or so."
"It was pretty disturbing and pretty scary to see."
Medevac to Yellowknife
Giroux says she called the RCMP and helped transfer McNeely to the health centre. She was then medevaced to Yellowknife.
"The medevac team said that I stopped breathing from in between [Fort Resolution] to here. They had to revive me," McNeely says.
McNeely's aunt and uncle visited her at Yellowknife's Stanton Territorial Hospital. She's scheduled for a CT scan in Edmonton to assess the impact the drugs and the seizures had on her brain. (CBC)
She says the experience has been a wake-up call. The mother of four has been battling drug addiction for half of her life.
"I got kids of my own, and there's a lot of kids in [Fort Resolution] that are experimenting with drugs," McNeely says.
"I hope from what happened to me they can realize not to touch it, or now they know what the outcome is with doing drugs like that. It's not a game."
McNeely has been scheduled for a CT scan in Edmonton to assess the impact the drugs and the seizures had on her brain.

Alternate Tunnel Encapsulation for Data Frames in
Control and Provisioning of Wireless Access Points (CAPWAP)
Control and Provisioning of Wireless Access Points (CAPWAP) is a
protocol for encapsulating a station's data frames between the
Wireless Transmission Point (WTP) and Access Controller (AC).
Specifically, the station's IEEE 802.11 data frames can be either
locally bridged or tunneled to the AC.  When tunneled, a CAPWAP Data
Channel is used for tunneling.  In many deployments, encapsulating
data frames to an entity other than the AC (for example, to an Access
Router (AR)) is desirable.  Furthermore, it may also be desirable to
use different tunnel encapsulation modes between the WTP and the
Access Router.  This document defines an extension to the CAPWAP
protocol that supports this capability and refers to it as alternate
tunnel encapsulation.  The alternate tunnel encapsulation allows 1)
the WTP to tunnel non-management data frames to an endpoint different
from the AC and 2) the WTP to tunnel using one of many known
encapsulation types, such as IP-IP, IP-GRE, or CAPWAP.  The WTP may
advertise support for alternate tunnel encapsulation during the
discovery and join process, and the AC may select one of the
supported alternate tunnel encapsulation types while configuring the
WTP.

Whistleblowing in Italy: The EU Directive and the Severino Law
For anyone responsible for:
Workplace whistleblowing systems
Anti-Corruption Law 190 (the Severino Law) compliance
Law No. 179/2017
The key differences between current Italian legislation and the EU Whistleblower Protection Directive
What those differences mean for affected organisations
How to begin preparing for the December 2021 deadline
Page length:
The EU member states, including Italy, have until December 17, 2021, to transpose the EU Whistleblower Protection Directive into national law. Italy, unlike many of its European counterparts, already has established whistleblowing laws in place, but these are fragmented and will need to be aligned and updated to reflect the new Directive. Italian organisations with more than 250 employees will be required to comply with the updated rules by the end of 2021.
This article will summarise the main differences between the current public and private sector regulations, and the EU Directive, as well as what preparations organisations should be making now.


Baby bathtubs are not really anything I ever gave much thought to. Originally we didn't buy one at all, thinking we could bathe the little 6 lb. chicken in the sink (isn't that what our parents did with us?). But after realizing that the bathroom sink was too small and the kitchen sink, which was perfectly sized, was always filled with dirty dishes, we decided we should buy one. So we saw a cheap, hard plastic baby bath on the sidewalk in front of one of those dingy housewares shops on Agrippas and bought it. It was the equivalent of less than $10.
I know Menachem immediately hated it. The tub had no legs so we'd place it in our regular bathtub and the person washing the baby would have to bend down--not a big deal when you have a big kid who can support herself, but very hard on the back when you're clutching an infant with both hands and trying to wash her, all while sitting on your knees on the cold bathroom floor. (And the taller you are, the more you have to bend over the side of the tub.) Sometimes we'd bring it out to the dining room table, but that meant shlepping lots of water back and forth to fill it (and then empty it) or shlepping a very heavy water-filled tub. It was messy and annoying.
I think next time around, Menachem would probably want us to get something like the Dream On Me Baby Bather and stand (preferably one with a drain and hose so you can just drain it straight into the tub or sink). But I would argue...where are we going to store that monster? Some fold up (I'm not sure if this one does), so I suppose that would work.
Alternatively, I say spend three months on your knees and get this adorable, easy-to-store Flexibath. I'm not sure we'd really bring it traveling with us, but it seems perfect for apartment living.
It has a drain, so you don't need to dump out a heavy tub.
It's wider than other tubs and supposedly can fit 2 toddlers! It would probably be cramped, but it does make me think that maybe we should put Hila back in her baby tub -- I know she'd fit comfortably and filling that instead of the big tub would really save water.
There's a non-slip surface. Ours doesn't have that and gets really slippery.
I'm wondering if you need to let it dry completely before you fold it up. Otherwise, would it maybe get moldy?
Then there's the bath/changing table combo option, which Bethami can tell you about.

This is a card I made using the image of an angel... because I always keep in mind "the reason for the season", which is the birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ! Silver is a beautiful color for the holidays, and I was looking forward to an opportunity to use this color scheme a card. The snowflakes are rub-ons, and the sentiment is handwritten. Papers are from Opitec, and the ribbon had been in my stash for ages.
Such a pretty card and I love the snowflakes.
oh this is just so sweet. Love it. Thanks for sharing your work with us at the Pink Elephant.
Your card is so gorgeous! Great work!
Great card. Really pretty. Thanks for playing on Paper Cutz this week. Have a Merry Christmas!
Nice card...thanks for joining us this week at PCC!!
So so pretty! Silver is one of my favorite Christmastime colors. Thanks for creating with us at TPE this week.
Lovely card!! Love the silver!! Great job with this weeks challenge!! Thanks for playing with us at TPE!!

New leader congratulated
New leader: Brisbane archdiocese's vicar for clergy Fr Michael McCarthy has been chosen as the next bishop of Rockhampton.
ROCKHAMPTON'S new Bishop-elect Michael McCarthy was to concelebrate Mass on the feast day of St Joseph's Cathedral's patron saint last Wednesday.
Rockhampton's 10th bishop, who will be installed on the morning of Thursday, May 29, has a long connection with the diocese.
The diocese's administrator Fr John Grace spoke of his delight at the appointment as did former Bishop Brian Heenan.
The 63-year-old Toowoomba-born priest formed a close friendship with Bishop Heenan and for many years has been concelebrant at the Mass of the Oils in St Joseph's Cathedral.
Their first meeting was in Brisbane when then Fr Heenan was parish priest of Zillmere.
At that stage, Bishop-elect McCarthy was a deacon and seeking permission to visit a nursing home in the parish.
Eventually they both worked together on the Commission for the Continuing Education of Priests.
"When I was rector of the provincial seminary I also visited seminarians living in various parts of Rockhampton diocese," Bishop-elect McCarthy said.
"These centres included Mackay, Emerald and Longreach."
Bishop Emeritus Heenan said the bishop-elect "brings many gifts and wide experience in leadership in the various roles he has filled".
"He is a pastor, whom I believe will be a good shepherd to the people of the vast Diocese of Rockhampton," he said.
"I have no doubt that Father Michael will be received warmly by the priests, religious and laity of the diocese and I wish him every grace and blessing as he responds to this call from God."
Between 2009 and 2013, Bishop-elect McCarthy was Dean of Brisbane Northern Rivers Deanery and parish priest of Holy Cross Parish, Redcliffe.
Prior to this, he was rector of Holy Spirit Provincial Seminary, Brisbane.
Until now, he has been the episcopal vicar for clergy of the Archdiocese of Brisbane and parish priest of Hendra and Northgate.
His first priority on taking up his appointment will be to start visiting and getting to know the diocese's different parishes.
"Many farmers are in the grip of a drought … I'm very much looking forward to visiting them as I come from a farming background," he said.
Mining is another key industry in Rockhampton diocese and Bishop-elect McCarthy knows a thing or two about that as well.
In the 1970s, he worked for BHP Newcastle as an industrial chemist.
His goals for Rockhampton diocese are clear.
"I hope to be a good pastor and good shepherd, working alongside the diocese's fine priests, religious and people," he said.

Q: Actions aren't triggered by Ember CLI Simple Auth ApplicationRouteMixin I'm using Ember CLI and integrated the Simple Auth Addon successfully. Unfortunately I'm facing an issue at the moment that I can't seem to get the sessionAuthenticationFailed action in my project's ApplicationRoute triggered. I already did this successfully with the browserified version of Ember Simple Auth but I really want to use the Addon for Ember CLI now and also figure this out! At the moment my ApplicationRoute looks like this in Coffescript:
`import Ember from 'ember'`
`import ApplicationRouteMixin from 'simple-auth/mixins/application-route-mixin'`
`import Session from 'simple-auth/session'`

ApplicationRoute = Ember.Route.extend ApplicationRouteMixin,
  actions:
    sessionAuthenticationFailed: (error) ->
      debugger

`export default ApplicationRoute`

I also tried reopening the ApplicationRouteMixin and setting a debugger in the function, which also didn't work. As far as I can follow the source code of Ember Simple Auth the Session triggers the event by calling _this.trigger('sessionAuthenticationFailed', error) in its authenticate function. I also compared the working version with the one that's not working at the moment and when I step through the code after the trigger is called, I end up in the sendEvent function which receives an object, in this case it's the Ember Simple Auth Session, an eventName, params and actions. What's interesting here is that some meta data about listeners is read from the Session in this part of code:
var meta = obj[META_KEY];
actions = meta && meta.listeners && meta.listeners[eventName];

In my case meta.listeners[eventName] is undefined meaning there are no listeners to the sessionAuthenticationFailed event and therefore nothing is called on anything and I'm ending up not catching the event with my action.
Now the big question is of course why it don't seem to register any listeners for this event. Is anyone else already using the Ember CLI Simple Auth Addon and successfully hooked the sessionAuthenticationFailed event? If so help would be appreciated!
Cheers,
Dave!
Edit
By reading the comments of the source I saw that if a beforeModel hook is used in the extending ApplicationRoute I have to call the parent's beforeModel function by this._super() as well. I think I'm one step closer to solving this!

A: Ok, I solved this. So I implemented the beforeModel(transition) hook in my ApplicationRoute to load translations but didn't call the parent function with this._super(transition). This could be one of the reasons why it's not working if you have the same problem as I described!

Summer Session I
University of Colorado Denver
The University of Colorado Denver is the only institution within the state of Colorado to offer professionally accredited education in architecture. The College of Architecture and Planning offers a Bachelors of Science in Architecture and a Master of Architecture along with 4 other graduate degrees.
In the graduate program, students interact with outstanding practicing designers and planners in the Denver metro area through internships, mentorships, design juries, lectures, and engaged student professional organizations. The department has created an academic environment that is intellectually stimulating and educationally challenging and aims to educate future leaders in the discipline and profession of architecture. The Master of Architecture (MArch) program examines the interplay between architectural form and the complex cultural and technological context in which architects operate. Studies focus on integrating various design theories and practices that emphasize: (a) cross-disciplinary interdependence, (b) research orientation, and (c) real-world relevance. In this program, students collaborate with peers to produce an understanding of how connected disciplines play a role in the design and research of architectural projects. As part of this collaborative matrix, each research and design project asks a critical question that stresses environmental, economic, social, cultural, aesthetic and ethical concerns, then answers it using an appropriate method.
The College also offers graduate degrees in Urban and Regional Planning, Landscape Architecture, Historic Preservation, Urban Design, and a multi-disciplinary PhD Program in Design and Planning.

The program celebrates its place in a special set of landscapes—one of the most urbanized states, healthy, "cool," metroplex Denver, as well as the mountainous beauty of the Front Range. The College's programs in Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Urban and Regional Planning and Urban Design are taught in the heart of downtown Denver, adjacent to Lower Downtown, home to many design and planning firms. Out-of-state and transfer students are accepted.
The University of Colorado Denver seeks to provide students, whatever their ages or circumstances, with opportunities to enhance their lives and careers through higher education. Emphasis is given to professional, pre-professional, and liberal arts instruction, with a strong multi-disciplinary and applied focus for the campus's research and service functions. The University is one of the most important educational resources in the Denver metropolitan area: a major urban, nonresidential campus located in the heart of the city with a broad range of civic, cultural, business, professional and governmental activities in close proximity. The University is committed to research, technology, creative scholarship, and providing an institutional culture that reflects the plurality, collegiality, and integration of an increasingly diverse global workplace.
The College of Architecture and Planning embraces the educational vision of INTEGRATIVE DESIGN. The College engages design and planning challenges that are significant for our society. The College will take on these challenges in partnerships among the disciplines and with our external communities.
In the College of Architecture and Planning the faculty researches, teaches and practices ways to design environments that are meaningful and beautiful. We plan, shape and interpret those environments in ways that are collaborative, responsible, sustainable, enabling, and integrative. Promoting and acknowledging diversity in subject matter, method, and orientation are essential to the College's integrative approach.
Design, research, and scholarship are the distinctive practices the faculty uses to investigate, understand, integrate and affect the complex relationships between our designed environments and their natural and cultural settings. We shape, plan and evaluate those relationships to make sure that our designs are socially and environmentally appropriate, and aesthetically significant. Our need to consistently integrate design, scholarly inquiry and research acts to unite reason and imagination, intellect and intuition, judgment and wisdom, and mind and spirit as complementary orientations affecting our work.
The architecture program's mission is to lead in the discovery, communication and application of knowledge in the discipline of architecture. The program aims to excel in the education of its students, in the research and creative endeavors of its faculty, and in service to the community. The architecture program focuses on the design of buildings, and also on the interactions between buildings and their urban and natural settings. The program examines the interplay between architectural form and the complex cultural and technological context in which architects operate.
The Program's teaching challenges students to assert responsibility for the important role they play as a designer of buildings in urban and natural settings; understand and value the influences of history, theory, ideology, context, technology, and practice on architecture and on urban and rural landscapes; define their obligations, status, ethical behavior, and role as a member of an established design discipline and design profession; and be creative, thoughtful, and critical design leaders in the discipline and profession of architecture.
This degree program is designed for students who wish to prepare for careers in architecture or architecturally related fields generally and comprehensively.
The MArch degree program is fully accredited by NAAB, and provides the professional degree required by most states for architectural licensure. The Master of Architecture program has two tracks, according to the type of undergraduate degree that the student holds. For students who hold a pre-professional degree, the MArch will require a minimum of four semesters of coursework and at least 60-semester hours of credit. Students who hold a bachelor's degree unrelated to architecture must complete seven semesters of coursework and at least 105-semester hours of credit. Students entering with a B.Envd or a similar pre-professional degree will have their transcripts and design portfolios evaluated to determine the exact number of semester credits that they must take.
4. Historic Preservation
5. History | Theory | Criticism
For automatic admission to the architecture major, students must have a 2.75 cumulative GPA for all coursework attempted. Students with at least a 2.3 cumulative GPA may be considered on an individual basis if the academic record shows a consistent record of improvement and/or strong performance in science, mathematics, art or architecture-oriented courses. Students with a 2.0 to 2.29 cumulative GPA may be considered for admission as Pre-Arch majors in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
If not initially admitted to the architecture program, transfer students can be reconsidered through an internal CU Denver process upon meeting the criteria outlined above.

Jost Pfeiffer (* 29. Dezember 1920 in Aachen; † 14. Januar 2010 ebenda) war ein deutscher Kommunalpolitiker und Ehrenbürger der Stadt Aachen.

Leben und Wirken
Der Sohn des Aachener Kaufmanns Kurt Pfeiffer (1893–1987) und der Johanna Bode (1894–1973) begann nach seinem Abitur im Jahr 1938 ein Medizinstudium in Wien und München. Bedingt durch mehrere Unterbrechungen auf Grund von Kriegseinsätzen im Zweiten Weltkrieg konnte er sein Studium erst 1944 mit dem Examen abschließen. Noch im gleichen Jahr erlangte er mit der Dissertation "Über das Wiederauftreten von Geschwülsten nach Knochentransplantationen" seine Promotion.

In der Folgezeit zwangen ihn allerdings die Nachkriegswirren zu einer Änderung seiner Lebensplanung. Nach seiner Rückkehr in das völlig zerstörte Aachen im August 1945 fühlte Pfeiffer sich verpflichtet, das bisher von seinem Vater geführte und von seinem Großvater aufgebaute Bekleidungsgeschäft in Aachen zusammen mit seinem Vater wieder neu aufzubauen. Später übernahm er auch die Leitung des bald wieder florierenden Geschäftes und behielt diese bis zu dessen Auflösung Ende der 90er Jahre.

Ebenfalls ab 1945 begann er wiederum in Zusammenarbeit mit seinem Vater und anderen die Parteistrukturen der sich in der Gründungsphase befindenden Christlich-Demokratischen Union (CDU) in Aachen aufzubauen und gehörte am 20. August 1946 zu den Gründungsmitgliedern der Jungen Union. Bereits ein Jahr später wurde er in den Stadtrat gewählt, dem er fast ununterbrochen bis 1975 angehörte. Zwischenzeitlich leitete er für drei Legislaturperioden die Ratsfraktion der CDU und wurde darüber hinaus von 1971 bis 1973 und von 1977 bis 1981 zum Kreisvorsitzenden gewählt. Im Jahre 1981 ernannte man Pfeiffer zum Ehrenvorsitzenden der CDU, ein Amt, welches er 2005 aus Altersgründen in jüngere Hände legte. Sein Nachfolger wurde Kurt Malangré, den er vorgeschlagen hatte.

In seiner langjährigen Zeit als Ratsmitglied war Pfeiffer maßgeblich daran beteiligt, den Wiederaufbau Aachens fortzuführen, wobei ihm auch die kulturelle Infrastruktur ein besonderes Anliegen war. Ebenso wie sein Vater, der den Aufbau und die Bedeutung Aachens nur im Konsens mit seinen angrenzenden Nachbarländern sah, war Jost Pfeiffer darum bemüht, die Zusammenarbeit mit den wichtigsten Städten im Dreiländereck wie beispielsweise Lüttich und Maastricht zu festigen und für die europäische Idee zu werben. Dazu trat er auch frühzeitig in die 1949 von seinem Vater gegründete "Gesellschaft zur Verleihung des Internationalen Karlspreises der Stadt Aachen" ein und gehörte später bis ins hohe Alter zu den aktiven Direktoriumsmitgliedern dieser Gesellschaft.

Jost Pfeiffer verstarb am 14. Januar 2010 und fand seine letzte Ruhestätte auf dem Westfriedhof I in Aachen. Er hinterließ drei Töchter, die seine christlich-soziale und kulturelle Arbeit fortsetzten. Seine Tochter Isabel Pfeiffer-Poensgen, verheiratet mit einem Nachkommen der Düsseldorfer Industriellen-Familie Poensgen, war Beigeordnete für Kultur und Soziales der Stadt Aachen und Generalsekretärin der Kulturstiftung der Länder. Von 2017 bis 2022 war sie Ministerin für Kultur und Wissenschaft des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen. Die zweite Tochter, Simone Pfeiffer-Bohnenkamp, war unter anderem Geschäftsführerin beim "Sozialwerk Aachener Christen e.V.".

Ehrungen
Für seine vielseitigen Verdienste erhielt Jost Pfeiffer im Jahr 1975 den Goldenen Ehrenring der Stadt Aachen. Darüber hinaus ernannte ihn die Stadt Aachen am 20. Januar 2001 "für sein jahrzehntelanges Engagement für den Wiederaufbau der Stadt und deren Entwicklung" zu ihrem Ehrenbürger.

Im Jahr 2002 wurden die Leistungen Pfeiffers schließlich noch mit der Verleihung des Bundesverdienstkreuzes 1. Klasse gewürdigt.

If the pre-defined audio setup is selected, speakers and Headphones need to be connected to the unit at the rear and top side panels respectively.
The Gemini PMX20 can operate in 3 modes, the MIXER (Hardware) mode, the DVS mode and the MIDI (Software) mode.
This mode is the default and auto-selected on every power-cycle. In this mode, the audio mixing (Volume, Equalizer, Filter and Crossfader) is performed by the PMX20. All the previously mentioned mixer elements, will still send Midi signal, thus the corresponding elements on the GUI of VirtualDJ will follow the movements and positions of the hardware ones. However, the GUI elements will not control the mixing (fake mixer mode). The Audio Interface of this mode is 8 channels out, without any input channels, so no DVS control is offered in this mode.
Every mixer channel can have a VirtualDJ or an external device (connected to the CH Inputs at the rear panel) as source, selected by the USB buttons at the top panel.
When the USB button is turned on (led is lit), the audio signal from the respective VirtualDJ will be passed to the PMX20 channel.
When the USB button is turned off (led is off), the audio signal from the external source will be passed to the PMX20 mixer channel and the respective VirtualDJ deck will be muted.
Up to 4 VirtualDJ decks can be controlled from the PMX20 in the Mixer mode.
In this mode, the audio mixing (Volume, Equalizer, Filter etc) is performed by VirtualDJ and a different sound card (other than the builtin of the PMX20) can be used as well. The USB Audio interface of the PMX20 does not offer Timecode/DVS Inputs in Midi mode and up to 4 VirtualDJ Decks can be controlled from the PMX20.
The external sources (connected to the CH Inputs at the rear panel) cannot be used in the Midi mode and the USB buttons will remain on.
In this mode the USB Audio Interface of the Gemini PMX20 turns into 4out/4in channels, offering control of 2 VirtualDJ Decks (the middle ones) along with DVS/Timecode controls. The outer PMX20 mixer channels 3 and 4 can be used to route signal from externlal sources, but cannot control any VirtualDJ Deck.
Note: Timecode control requires one of the following licenses..
Limited Edition keycode (serial) of Gemini PMX20 (comes with a special Timecode additional license - which requires online login for the extra license to be validated, at least once).
Hold down the USB button on Channel 3 for more than 4 seconds (will blink for a while) and then release for the Mixer (default - Hardware) mode to be selected.
Hold down the USB button on Channel 1 for more than 4 seconds (will blink for a while) and then release for the DVS mode to be selected.
Hold down the USB button on Channel 2 for more than 4 seconds (will blink for a while) and then release for the Midi (Software) mode to be selected.
Each time a selection of a Mode is made, VirtualDJ will automatically apply the necessary Audio setup for the selected mode.
Important Do not change the Audio Setup manually, unless you are certain of the selected mode. Prefer to allow VirtualDJ to automatically set it up for you when the mode is selected via the long-press of the USB buttons as described above.
When mixing with VirtualDJ, your mix can be recorded in the following cases.
The PMX20 is set to Hardware(MIXER or DVS) mode. In this case, you will need to route the Master Output from either the BOOTH or REC Output to an Input of another USB Audio Interface and add a record line in your Audio setup.

Police: Teen girl shot in the face while driving to family member's home

Police: Teen girl shot in the face while driving to family member's home
FOX 32's Elizabeth Matthews reports...
EAST CHICAGO, Ind. - A teenage girl was shot Thursday afternoon while driving to a relative's home in East Chicago, police said.
The 17-year-old was shot in the face and seriously wounded around 5:45 p.m. near 149th Street and Walsh Avenue.
East Chicago police do not believe she was the intended target of the shooting.
Officers responded to the gunfire and found the girl outside her car, which had slammed into a parked van.
East Chicago Deputy Chief Jose Rivera said the teen collapsed trying to get back to her family's home.
"Her being shot is what caused the accident. She was able to exit the vehicle and tried to make it to her family member's house where she fell down in the middle of the block and she was taken to Northlake Hospital in Gary," Rivera said.
East Chicago police said she is in "serious" condition. She is expected to be airlifted Thursday night to another hospital for further treatment.
No one is in custody, according to police.

Resident Evil: Afterlife DVD
DVD Review by Kam Williams
Headline: DVD Features Fourth Installment of Zombie Franchise
More campy than creepy, Resident Evil: Afterlife is one of your classic "Take the Money and Run" rip-offs, being a badly-acted, poorly-scripted and sloppy-edited B-flick shot on the cheap. Just about the only thing going for it is an attractive ensemble that's easy on the eyes, starting with supermodel Milla Jovovich.
She reprises her starring role as Alice, a gun-slinging, genetically-altered mutant who represents the last hope for humanity. The cast features other accomplished models-turned-thespians in Ali Larter, Sienna Guillory and Boris Kodjoe. But unfortunately, movies are not made by eye candy alone.
The play-by-play of this needlessly over-plotted, sci-fi tale is narrated by Alice in a no-nonsense manner. At the outset, she reminds us, ostensibly for the benefit of the uninitiated, that mankind has been decimated in the wake of the lab accident at Tokyo's Umbrella Corporation which unleashed a highly-contagious, lethal virus gone wild. Trouble is, the infected don't remain dead, but reanimate as man-eating zombies who now outnumber people a million-to-one.
At fault is Albert Wesker (Shaw Roberts), Umbrella's slimy CEO, a stock Hollywood villain now intent on killing Alice in order to harness the powers of the gene-altering T-virus for his own nefarious purposes. However, our hardy heroine eludes his grasp, flying by plane, in fast order, from the company headquarters in Tokyo to a safe haven in Alaska to a prison in Los Angeles, where she crash-lands on the roof.
There, she finds an arsenal of weapons and a motley crew of survivors to team up with. Too bad, we've seen each of these stale caricatures countless times before, from the macho black dude (Kodjoe) who usually dies first, to the cowardly Asian (Norman Yeung) afraid of his own shadow, to the backstabbing, rich snob (Kim Coates), to the brave, battle-hardened soldier (Wentworth Miller), and so forth.
Yet, more insulting than the stereotyping and the horrifying horror clichés is the fact that the formulaic tale even has the nerve to end on a cliffhanger, setting us up for yet another sequel. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me five times? I don't think so.
Fair (1 star)
Rated R for profanity and graphic violence.
Studio: Sony Pictures Home Entertainment
DVD Extras: Filmmaker commentary, "Band of Survivors: Casting Afterlife," and "Fighting Back: The Action of Afterlife."

I just found out with the last couple of days that one of our original members died in an auto crash. A1 Chris was an early member of this board and was very active back in the early days. Super nice guy and his wife Berta. I even had the privilege of meeting him down in Arkansas where he was from and riding the mountains with him. Another trip threw Arkansas Cheryl and I stopped in Maumelle where he lived and went out for dinner with he and Berta. Sad news but I think a few left on this board with remember him.
This is sad news . May Chris rest in peace , may the Lord bring comfort and understanding to the family .
I never had the privilege of meeting Chris, but it's always a sad day when we loose someone we've known. God bless, our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and wishes for peace be with him.
Aspect One I believe. I had some conversions with him a long time ago (online). Real nice guy. Prayers going out to his family and friends.
Aspect One was avatar and forum name. We always just used A1. I thought he was great guy. Best I can remember he was the first to invite me down to ride in Arkansas. And I have been going ever since 3 and 4 times a year. RIP Chris.
Rest In Peace Chris, Prayers for his family.
I'm a little late seeing this, sad news indeed.
Having skipped ahead to the end of the book it says "no one survives" That sounds cruel but we all should expect to die in our beds at 110 years of age. When something like this happens it is a great blow to family and friends. We wish great strength to A1's family in this time of their grief.

Mixing is a very important operation in the manufacture of paint and can have significant effects on both product quality and production time. Philadelphia Mixing Solutions and Mixing Solutions has over 60 years of experience supplying agitators to paint manufacturers and has developed reliable design methods that have adapted to the changing demands on the industry. Particularly paint formulations have become more viscous and complex rheologically as the market has moved from primarily solvent-borne to water-borne formulations.
Avoid the result of poor mixing, which creates active and passive zones, ultimately creating stagnant caverns that mix slowly. These unmixed caverns allow pigments to agglomerate and for the pigment to be inconsistent.
Our CounterFlow Paint Mixing System creates two complementary flows off the impeller. This promotes uniform dispersion of the pigment, even mixing without agglomeration and quicker colour incorporation. Many applications can reduce energy cost up to five times when compared to a typical agitator when blending non-Newtonian, high-solids concentration fluids and slurries.
We design specifically to your application.
When implemented correctly, our solution saves the customer time, energy and increases their throughput and profit.


The most striking of our denim styled belts, designed with silver-tone hardware with geometric flower patterns. It's crafted with full grain leather that shows off natural contours, creases, and marks you'll find nowhere else.
