Imagine a fictional railway station somewhere in Eastern Europe. Then imagine a cutting edge, raw, Swedish restaurant interior. Combine those two seemingly disparate atmospheres and you have Bar Central, a Södermalm restaurant with a special liking for central and eastern European food.
Whether it's a simple beer at the bar or a full dinner in the restaurant, the space itself makes it worth a visit.
Design group Ugly Cute have mixed traditional Slavic references like crocheted, white lace curtains and coasters with raw, brown masonite panels, shiny brass details and dark green walls. The bar features a lovely, zigzag-patterned terrazzo floor, and much of the furniture is custom-made. It's refreshing to see some new ideas manifested in a professionally-realised interior at a Stockholm restaurant.
And the food? Central and eastern European food hasn't exactly been on everyone's lips for a while, so even in that respect the restaurant is a welcome addition. You'll find all the classics on the menu, from sauerkraut to bratwurst and wienerschnitzel. The beer and wine lists have the same geographical focus, and instead of France, Italy and Spain, you'll find contenders from Germany, Austria, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovenia.
We start off with the day's special, glass crab with red beets (85 kronor) and from the regular menu, blinis with trout roe, sour cream and chopped onions (135 kronor). The crab is a bit of a disappointment; it's dry and the delicate taste disappears under a thick layer of breading. The blinis, on the other hand, are perfect. It's so easy to make a blini too thick, too crispy or too greasy; Bar Central's is fresh and light, just as it should be.
Hungry for one of the classics, we order in a wienerschnitzel (235 kronor) and, on the waiter's recommendation, the schweinshaxe, a roasted pork shank with sauerkraut and bread dumplings.
The portions are huge; the schweinshaxe towers like a mountain of meat and the wienerschnitzel covers the entire plate. You won't leave this place hungry, that's for sure.
The wienerschnitzel, which is served with a simple, crisp green salad, anchovy and caper butter, french fries and lemon, is wonderfully thin and juicy. My dinner companion likes his pork fine, saying that parts of it are dry but that it's tender on the inside. But the bread dumplings, or semmelknoedel, leave us a bit puzzled.
These round bread balls are a traditional Bavarian recipe, also found in Hungary and the Czech Republic, and a googling reveals that they have many fans who remember their grandmom's semmelknoedel with fondness. We find them to be very mild and not particularly exciting in their taste, and frankly, would prefer freshly-baked bread instead.
Similarily, desserts are a bit hit and miss. Tonight's "sweet of the week", a chestnut puree (85 kronor), is nice enough but nothing to write home about, while the cherry strudel with cinnamon ice cream (95 kronor) is just as it should be; leafy, crisp and sweet.
Despite this minor disappointment, we would definitely go back. Stockholm needs Bar Central, with its long-forgotten or just lesser-known dishes, coupled with its friendly service and smart interior.

The British Columbia government is expected to release its epidemiological modeling information on COVID-19 today.
The British Columbia government is expected to release its modeling information on COVID-19 today.
Health Minister Adrian Dix said the report will be an indicator of how many people may become infected with the virus. Additionally, Dix said they'll also reveal how the province has been preparing for what could be the worst-case scenario in comparison to outbreaks in China and Italy.
Provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry also said the next few days will give us a good indication of how much social distancing has helped to slow the spread of the virus.
The two are set to make their epidemiological modeling announcement at 10:30 am PT. You can catch it live on CHEK's Facebook page and YouTube Channel.
There have 725 people who have tested positive for the virus in B.C. to go along with 14 deaths.

NCBA RELIEF GOODS OPERATION
Feb 6, 2020 | Community Outreach Program, Events, General
#BangonBatangas
When Taal Volcano erupted last January 12, 2020, many adhered to their call for help and assistance. Our Institution was one of those who lent a hand at their time of struggle and grave danger. Under the initiative of the President of the Teachers Union of National College of Business and Arts, Professor Bernard R. Macinas with the support of the Student Affairs Directors for each branch (Fairview, Taytay and Cubao) and the Community Outreach Program Coordinator, NCBA launched one of its biggest relief goods operation to date.
Last January 16, 2020, a set of guidelines was released to several key personnel of each campus on what to collect from our students, and how to properly repack it. The Basic Education departments of NCBA were tasked to accumulate toiletries, diapers, coffee, snacks, noodles, and bottled water, while the College departments gathered bags of rice and canned goods. Other donors like the NCBA management and offices also gave donations in kind.
A two-week period was given to gather all the necessary goods and NCBA amassed to a total of 1,550 bags of which are divided into the following:
– Cubao – 650 (300 bags of assorted goods, 200 bags of toiletries, and 150 bags of old clothes)
– Fairview – 500 bags of assorted goods with toiletries and old clothes
– Taytay – 20 boxes of repacked goods (estimated to be at 400 bags)
After the timeframe given to collect and repackage the goods, NCBA, under the leadership of the Assistant Vice President for Marketing Mrs. Mariflor M. Uber, left for Talisay and Laurel, Batangas on February 1, 2020. One of our former Professors, Mrs. Madeline Cascante helped the relief goods team by coordinating with the Local Government Officials and Units.
The team first stopped at Talisay, Batangas to meet with the Deputy Commissioner for Administration of their Local Government to drop off 300 bags of assorted goods.
Next, the team then traveled to the city of Laurel, Batangas to meet with their Mayor, the Hon. Joan Amo, and the city council board. 550 bags of assorted goods and toiletries were distributed to the evacuees based inside their center. Most of the citizens that were given relief goods were the people whose homes are still on lockdown due to the dangers of a sudden eruption of Mt. Taal.
The relief goods response team was supposed to go to Agoncillo, Batangas to drop off more relief goods, but certain geographical anomalies located on the main road to Agoncillo made it impossible for the vehicle to reach the city. The remaining goods were then equally distributed to Talisay and Laurel, Batangas.
Given the satisfaction of the team composing of students, teachers, and non-teaching personnel, NCBA is more than ready to help more: with increased effectivity, and efficiency.
After everything has been said and done with the Local Government Officials and units, NCBA accomplished one of its most momentous activities, which is its Corporate Social Responsibility.

Dodge City, Kansas
Dodge City (Amtrak station)
Dodge City (1939 film)
Dodge City is the county seat of Ford County, Kansas, United States, named after nearby Fort Dodge. The city is famous in American culture for its history as a wild frontier town of the Old West. As of the 2010 census, the city population was 27,340.
Fort Mann was the first settlement of non-indigenous people in the area that became Dodge City, built by civilians in 1847 to provide protection for travelers on the Santa Fe Trail. Fort Mann collapsed in 1848 after an Indian attack. In 1850, the U.S. Army arrived to provide protection in the region and constructed Fort Atkinson on the old Fort Mann site. The army abandoned Fort Atkinson in 1853. Military forces on the Santa Fe Trail were reestablished farther north and east at Fort Larned in 1859, but the area remained vacant around what would become Dodge City until the end of the Civil War. In April 1865, the Indian Wars in the West began heating up, and the army constructed Fort Dodge to assist Fort Larned in providing protection on the Santa Fe Trail. Fort Dodge remained in operation until 1882.

Dodge City is a 1939 American Western film directed by Michael Curtiz and starring Errol Flynn, Olivia de Havilland, and Ann Sheridan. Based on a story by Robert Buckner, the film is about a Texas cattle agent who witnesses the brutal lawlessness of Dodge City, Kansas and takes the job of sheriff to clean the town up. Filmed in early Technicolor, Dodge City was one of the highest-grossing movies of the year.
The action of the film starts with Colonel Dodge (Henry O'Neill) arriving on the first train and subsequently opening the new railroad line that links Dodge City with the rest of the world. A few years later, Dodge City has turned into the "longhorn cattle center of the world and wide-open Babylon of the American frontier, packed with settlers, thieves and gunmen—the town that knew no ethics but cash and killing". In particular, it is Jeff Surrett (Bruce Cabot) and his gang who kill, steal, cheat and, generally, control life in Dodge City without ever being brought to justice. Any new sheriff, sworn into office in Dodge, is quickly driven out of town by Surrett and his cronies.

Zn electroplating is an electrolytic process when, on the electrically conductive materials (in most cases steel parts - cathodes) a layer of zinc is deposited while the zinc anode simultaneously dissolves. This creates not only an anticorrosion layer but also architectural coating. Suitable materials for galvanizing are steel parts or casting or forgings. Quality of surface treatment is directly dependent on the quality of the input material. It is necessary that the parts are handed over to the galvanizing without coarse scales, excessive grease, paint or deep corrosion.

Where have I been? I went on an adventure to see my boyfriend who currently lives in the frozen tundra of the Twin Cities. OK, it wasn't that bad. Honestly, I think I hate rain more than I dislike the frigid temperatures and the snow.
I can add another state to the list of those in which I've spent some time. My goal is to go to all 50. Minnesota was interesting. Yes, the people were nice. Paul claims that driving is an exception to that rule. I think that's universal to every place in the world. Definitely in California, just look at the posts inspired here in my blog.
So, what did I do in Minnesota? No. I didn't make snow angels. We went hunting for Peanuts statues. Not statues of nuts, but statues of the characters created by Charles M. Schulz.
Most people in Northern California know he lived in Santa Rosa and that town is inundated with Peanuts memorabilia. What I didn't know is that Charles Schulz grew up in St. Paul. In fact, I saw the building where his father had his barber shop. It's a restaurant now. Across the street there was a bank that had four of the statues in its lobby. One of each kind. Ok, no plain Snoopy. I never could understand why or how Snoopy slept on top of his doghouse though.
Paul told me that at one point he thought there were about 100 Linuses, 100 Lucys, 100 Charlie Browns, 100 Snoopys and 100 Snoopys on his doghouse statues all across the Twin Cities. No one seems to know what happened to them all. Some I'm sure were not able to withstand the harsh winters. Some were sold off to private collectors. I wonder if some ended up in Santa Rosa?
Outside a veterinary hospital. Notice the IV bag.
Inside the baggage claim at MSP.
It's pretty random where these statues can be found. There are a few blogs that have taken the time to list their exact locations. I'll list them at the end of my post, just in case you find yourself in the Twin Cities soon and want to go on the adventure yourself.
St. Paul also had it's share of sport related sites. I didn't know that there was a minor league team in that city. And of course, they have a hockey arena. From what I could tell, it looked like a high school used it quite a bit. Oh, did I mention there were statues at each of these places too?
Be sure to tune in tomorrow for the continuation of my adventures with my boyfriend Paul. Calm down. It's going to be sweet and funny.


13 Maruti Suzuki Manesar plant workers have been sentenced to life imprisonment for the death of an HR manager in a case which could bring forth no witnesses or conclusive evidence. The indicted workers include the entire union body and Jiyalal, a dalit worker who was abused by his supervisor, in response to which the rest of the workers had demanded action on the supervisor. Why has the Indian judiciary gone beyond all provisions of law to bring down this harsh sentence on the worker? The workers suggest that it is but an attempt to set an example before the entire workers movement, that anyone challenging the expolitative and oppressive practices of the management shall be punished.


The U.S. Department of Labor has demanded $433,426 in back wages after going after yet another employer for employment misclassification, a workplace epidemic that continues to be hurt employees across the country, as our attorneys discussed in a related Costa Mesa, California employment blog post.
C and K Rentals, a company that rents and leases equipment to oil companies at drilling and production sites in Texas, was found by the DOL to have misclassified 124 current and former oil equipment cleaners and gate guards as independent contractors, or "exempt" from federal wage and hour laws, denying them their right to overtime compensation and minimum wage.
The DOL investigation discovered that the gate guards received a minimum wage rate that fell far below the federal minimum wage, $7.25 an hour, and that the oil equipment cleaners were not paid proper overtime for all hours worked beyond forty in a workweek. The company also failed to properly maintain accurate records of employees' hours, wages, and employment conditions.
Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), all covered employees are required by law to be paid the minimum of $7.25 per hour, federal minimum wage, as well as one and one-half their normal pay rates for any hours worked over forty in a week, which includes commissions, incentive compensation and bonuses. Employers must also maintain accurate time and payroll records, according to federal law.
According to the history of wage and hour violations that the DOL has uncovered, employment misclassification is a serious problem in "high-risk" industries, like the construction industry, which employs vulnerable and low-wage workers. As our attorneys have discussed in a previous Santa Ana labor blog, employee misclassification can rob employees of their legal rights by forcing them to work through meal breaks, with less than minimum wage, no overtime payment, and late pay and with lack of payroll documentation.
Misclassifying employees who have a right to fair paying jobs not only deprives the workers of minimum wages and overtime compensation, but forces them to pay taxes that their employers are legally obligated to pay. The act of employee misclassification also hurts other honest employers who obey the federal wage and hour laws, as employers who cheat trying to avoid paying minimum wage, overtime, and other employment benefits gain an unfair competitive advantage.

Q: Sitecore Rocks not working properly with VS 2012 Ultimate I have installed VS 2012 Ultimate and Sitecore Rocks 1.4, connected to the sitecore instance, create a solution and connected with sitecore rocks and when I try to create a layout from my solution Im getting an error
"Could not load file or assembly sitecore.rocks, version 2.0.0.0, culture=neutral, publickeytocken="...
I tried to installed Rocks version 2 but its not getting installed in VS 2012,
Please help me on fixing this..

A: I know this is an old question but I hope this will help someone in the future.
I was having the same error and then I realized the extention is local to the user. I login as a different user and install the extention and it worked for that user.
So under my user I uninstalled the extension.
Remove folder C:\Users\ {Your Username}\AppData\Local\Sitecore
Then searched for "rocks" in C:\Users\ {Your Username}\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio and add remove those items too.
I don't know if I had to but I also removed these registry entries.(Remember to do a backup before removing them.)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\ {Your VS version}\DialogPage\Sitecore.VisualStudio.Options.VisualStudioOptions
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sitecore\Sitecore.Rocks.VisualStudio
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sitecore\VisualStudio
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sitecore A/S\Sitecore Rocks
Rebooted and reinstalled the extension then everything worked.

A landing page is any page on your site that a visitor lands on from a different site. This is a pretty general description, and one that is used by a broader community.
If you ask an online-marketer, they'll be more specific and tell you that a landing page is a page that is separate from your website and serves a single purpose. Whether that be a download option, lead generation, to grow your social presence, or even to sell one specific product.

The sheer rock cliffs of Mount Arbel stand like a sentinel over the western side of the Sea of Galilee or Gennasaret. They have observed numerous battles, travelers, and even disciples.
Mount Arbel is one of those places never mentioned in the Bible. Its presence was so obvious, it was assumed. Certainly, anyone traveling around the Sea of Galilee or along the International Highway would have used Arbel as a landmark, identifiable from most any spot on the lake.
Honeycombed with caves along its cliffs, Mount Arbel has given military refuge to various people through the centuries. Some of these include partisans of the Maccabees in 161 BC, rivals of Herod the Great in 38 BC, Josephus in AD 66, and others from the Druze Maan dynasty at the beginning of the seventeenth century. Archaeology has revealed a nearby village, a fourth-century synagogue, as well as signs of occupation in the caves as early as the second century.
No doubt, the best way to enjoy Mount Arbel is from on top of it! (Just make sure Herod's troops aren't around.) The panoramic view offers a perspective that stretches 400 meters (about 1,300 feet) above the water. It astounds every first-timer. It still astounds me. I once even scaled down the cliffs with the convenient handheld cables affixed to the rocks.
The last time I stood on Mount Arbel, I gazed at the modern highway on the Plain of Gennesaret far below me. Part of the ancient International Highway ran beside the Sea of Galilee—roughly where modern Route 90 runs today. I thought of the armies of history that had marched right below me.
And though the history intrigues and the view inspires, the greatest benefit I've enjoyed from the top of Arbel comes as I see—from one location—the places where Jesus spent most of his ministry around the shores of this famous lake: Capernaum, the Cove of the Sower, the Mount of Beatitudes, Tabgha—these and other places dot the shoreline. At the foot of the cliffs of Mount Arbel also lay the village of Magdala, the hometown of Mary Magdalene.
I have often wondered in pure conjecture if "the mountain" to which Jesus brought his disciples when he issued the Great Commission was Mount Arbel (Matthew 28:16-20). It really could have been. From this one spot they could observe the area where Jesus called them as disciples as well as the many places where he taught and performed miracles according to the gospels.
No visit to Mount Arbel is ever long enough. It remains one of the most beautiful spots in Israel.
To Get There: Take Route 7717 west from Tiberias and turn right into the Moshav Arbel. Rather than drive through the moshav, take the first left and curve around, driving as far as you can to the parking lot at the highest point of the cliff. From there you'll have to walk uphill a bit. Be sure to arrive by early afternoon, as the site closes now at 5 PM in the summer and 4 PM in the winter! (If you arrive after that time, I'm not telling you to hop the fence or anything.) A journey down the cliffs with the handheld cables is only for the surefooted and physically fit.
What to Do There: Definitely take your camera. Read Josephus' account of Herod's soldiers (Antiquities 14:423–425). Try to pick out the places of Jesus's ministry along the shoreline: Capernaum, the Cove of the Sower, the Mount of Beatitudes, and Tabgha. Read the commission given in Matthew 28:16-20. You also may need to cling to the lone tree up there—as well as to your hat. It's windy!

People are furious about the way it took months for a broken lift in a leisure centre to be repaired.
Three Rivers District Council only fixed the lift at the William Penn Centre in Mill End when the Watford Observer got in touch.
Cllr David Sansom had raised the issue at a full council meeting the week before, but the authority said it was still waiting for a circuit board to be delivered.
Cllr Sansom added that he had been told by users that they had been told the lift was "too old for repair".
The lift has been out of action for months and one parent said she gave up sending her children to swimming classes at the leisure centre because she was forced to take her buggy down the steps.
Chloe Baker, from Rickmansworth, said: "The stairs were just so difficult and I rarely received help. I have twins, aged two, and one time I took the buggy down and when I got to the pool, I was told to put shoe covers on all twelve wheels.
TRDC said it was the responsibility of SLM, the leisure management contractor to mend and the delay in the repair was because a part had to be ordered be from Greece, but when it was installed the lift still didn't work.
A council spokeswoman said: "One of the major issues has been that the lift is a Greek Model and parts need to be ordered from Greece. The lift company initially identified that the door controller was the issue.
SLM says it is unaware of anyone not using the centre because of the broken lift, and said it had given people access to the pool through the first aid room.
Staff were also on hand to help customers down the stairs.
The lift was fixed last Thursday, just three days after the Watford Observer contacted TRDC.

Tamara Mellon on building a 'female-led' company that understands women
Published Thu, Aug 9 201811:30 AM EDT
Tamara Mellon: 'I don't believe brands should be silent anymore'
Tamara Mellon founded Jimmy Choo in 1996, when she was 27 years old. At the time, men's names dominated the most prestigious premium women's shoe labels.
Now it's Mellon's name that's on the label and the door. Two years ago she launched her own direct-to-consumer shoe business online. Empowering the women who are her employees and customers is central to her mission, and her efforts are evident in everything from the way she designs and markets shoes to how she runs her company, which just raised $24 million to expand.
How this 32-year-old 'Shark Tank' reject got her lipsticks on the shelves at Target
"As a woman designing for women, I feel their pain literally on a daily basis," says Mellon. "If you think about it, most shoe designers are men, so they don't really know what it feels like. So I think a lot of shoes are designed for shelf appeal, without actually knowing how women feel in them. So what I do, is I do all the fit trials myself."
She says after trying on all the shoes she makes technical tweaks herself, to make the designs more comfortable and ensure customers can wear them all day.
Mellon runs the company in a very different way than she ran Jimmy Choo, which she says was more hierarchical. She brought in Jill Layfield, former CEO of outdoor retailer Backcountry, to serve as CEO. And to make all of her employees feel invested — literally — the company issues shares to everyone.
"I decided I wanted a very different culture this time," says Mellon. "I wanted a culture that was very supportive, that was female-led. We sit all open-plan, which I never used to do at Jimmy Choo. I would sit in the corner office with two assistants outside like guard dogs, and that doesn't happen anymore. I sit with everybody on the floor and we listen to everybody."
Female employees at Nike circulated a survey about inappropriate workplace behavior last year, according to WSJ
Mellon's employees don't look like the average staff — 24 women and one man — so equal pay is not an issue for the company. But it is a topic that Mellon is passionate about, posting from the company's social media accounts about the importance of closing the pay gap and empowering women. She's also spoken out to raise awareness around breast cancer and immigration, making these issues core to the company's social media presence and brand campaigns.
She says she wanted to take a stand on issues that are of particular interest to her and many other women, even though she knows it may alienate others.
"I think we're braver, I don't believe brands should be silent anymore. People don't want to be part of a community where they know their values are aligned with your values," says Mellon. "I think they don't want brands to be silent anymore, and so that's how we are building our community. What we do internally also resonates with what the customer wants."

Ofcom gives go-ahead to early UK 4G services
August 21, 2012 - Staff@seenituk
4G will deliver high-speed mobile broadband to phones and other devices.
Telecoms regulator Ofcom says it will allow Everything Everywhere – owners of Orange and T-Mobile in the UK – to launch 4G mobile data services using its existing bandwidth.
The decision means 4G services, which allow faster data speeds and downloads than existing 3G services, are expected to launch this year.
Other networks must wait for Ofcom to auction additional capacity for 4G – also referred to as LTE – services next year.
In a statement Ofcom said: "Although we consider it likely that EE will enjoy a competitive advantage during the period before other operators are able to launch their own LTE services, we consider on the evidence available that any such advantage is unlikely to result in an enduring advantage which distorts competition to the detriment of consumers."
Everything Everywhere described the regulator's decision as "great news for the UK" and said the new service would "drive investment, employment and innovation".
Rival network O2 said it was "hugely disappointed with today's announcement, which will mean the majority of consumers will be excluded from the first wave of digital services."
O2 also claimed the decision "undermines the competitive environment for 4G in the UK."

I was focusing on the idea that growth may not always necessarily be imperative.
We talked about some examples of that, and when and why that might be the case.
I want to talk about a sort of related idea which is.
you need to understand that that can be risky.
And you need to understand what those risks are.
When it comes to growth a lot can go wrong.
Let's talk about several things.
a business organization that's pursuing growth might simply over stretch itself.
So an example of this might be Borders Books & Music.
music CDs and other forms of media.
So what did Borders do wrong?
They essentially grew in a sort of over extended way.
there was sort of a glut of book and music stores.
a Borders and a local music store, and a local bookstore or two, right?
And so they just sort of over built, there was a glut.
over stretched itself and paid the price ultimately.
the potential pitfall that you might simply grow too fast.
so you may be familiar with Southwest Airlines.
They're a low cost airline operating primarily in The United States.
They use to have a competitor called People Express.
fast and they didn't have the resources to staff that growth.
an important part of their value proposition as a low cost carrier.
by sort of measuring their growth in a little more deliberate manner.
they weren't able to sustain the things that made them unique as an organization.
grew too fast and they eventually grew themselves out of business.
Now another risk in contrast to that is that you might actually grow too slow.
So here what's the risk?
especially in say a tech environment where you might give up a valuable position.
what the standard technology is going to be: the industry standard.
market position and defend and maintain it.
So an example of a firm that may have grown to slow might be, MySpace.
Facebook and eventually they were sort of supplanted by Facebook.
Facebook put them out of business.
essentially didn't grow fast enough to capture the market.
they captured that market and took it right away from Myspace.
It's possible to grow too fast.
It's also possible to grow too slow.
What's another risk or another potential pitfall?
that you can focus too much on growing revenue but not the bottom line, right.
sources are simply not as profitable as your existing revenue sources, right.
And so what we start to see are things like market saturation.
much that you're actually cannibalizing some of your own sales.
An example of this might be Krispy Kreme Doughnuts.
This is an organization that started in the Southeastern United States.
It became kind of a destination.
fresh doughnuts when they came out of the oven.
But Krispy Kreme grew too fast.
opportunities to increase revenues and boost their top line.
But all of these things served to cannibalize their core value proposition.
where you're buying fuel for your vehicle.
You can buy Krispy Kreme doughnuts in the grocery store.
You could seemingly buy them anywhere.
where Krispy Kreme was cannibalizing some of its own value proposition.
It lost its appeal and they had a little bit of difficulty because of that.
So finally let me mention the risk of simply growing in the wrong direction.
Here maybe we would use the example of Borders Books and Music again.
So Borders simply made some strategic errors.
They over invested in music sales of compact discs.
not buying the physical recordings anymore in a store.
as a result in sort of digital strategy, and even ebooks and things like that.
you need to be aware of.
Do we understand the answer to that question?
Do we know why we're attempting to grow?
How much should we grow?
Are we ready to grow?
What are the best ways for us to grow?
Is there a way to manage those risks?

NISOC-Schlumberger sign Oilfield MoU
By editor on 27th November 2016 in Oil & Gas
Transfer of technology and information and skill sharing are the targets of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA), signed by the NISOC and Schlumberger Limited on Sunday.
The MoU and NDA fall within framework of the National Iranian South Oil Company's (NISOC) contract.
The Official with the Working Group in charge of Development of South Oil Fields within Framework of the NISOC Contract, Ahmad Mohammadi, made the remark on the sidelines of ceremonies for the MoU and NDA signing by the NISOC and Schlumberger.
"One of the lofty goals of the Ministry of Petroleum in connection with the oil deals is transfer of knowledge and technology and this is also envisioned by the NISOC contracts," he added.
The official said the NISOC contract targets transfer of knowledge and technology in true sense of the word, putting on agenda the knowledge and skill sharing with the investing company. Knowledge will be exchanged through constant presence of the technical and specialized forces of the NISOC along with the technical forces of the investing company in all phases."
The official went on to say that cooperation in the technical and specialized committees will strengthen the exploiting companies, develop fields, transfer knowledge and technology, make up technical shortcoming and likely managerial gaps, while guaranteeing imminent success of the targeted projects and making it possible to attain petroleum industry's lofty goals.
Meanwhile, Managing Director of National Iranian South Oil Company (NISOC) Bijan Alipour says he is optimistic with cooperation between his company and Schlumberger Limited.
"I am optimistic with future cooperation between the two companies. The company used to be present in Iran both before and after the (1979 Islamic) Revolution, providing the NISOC with technical services. It is one of the leading companies in that domain," Alipour said.
He made the remark following conclusion of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) by the NISOC and Schlumberger.
He noted that today's deal has been signed by the two companies to study Rag Sefid, Parsi and Shadegan fields.
Alipour added that other international deals will be signed in the future within framework of the NISOC contracts.
He said the MoU and NDA will be in force for six months.
The NISOC signed its second Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) with a foreign company on Sunday.
This time the NISOC endorsed the MoU and NDA with Schlumberger limited within framework of its contract.
Based on the MoU and NDA, the two sides will launch feasibility study on Asmari, Bangestan and Khami reservoirs in Rag Sefid field, Asmari reservoir in Parsi Field and Asmari and Bangestan reservoirs in Shadegan Field.
Signatories to the MoU and NDA were the NISOC Managing Director Bijan Alipour and Schlumberger Production Management Tony Bowman.
Schlumberger, which is the world's leading provider of technology for reservoir characterization, drilling, production, and processing to the oil and gas industry, used to be active in Iran prior to sanctions and is now getting prepared to return and resume cooperation with the Iranian Oil Industry in the post-JCPOA era.
On announcement and confirmation of Minister of Petroleum Bijan Zanganeh, four fields, including Parsi, Karanj, Rag Sefid and Shadegan, consisting nine reserves, have been specified to undergo development based on the NISOC contract. With the MoU signed on Sunday, Schlumberger will launch studies on three of the fields.
The first MoU and NDA based on the NISOC contract were signed by the NISOC and Pergas Consortium, consisting 11 European, Canadian, Asian and Sharif University of Technology, last week to study two fields, including Karanj field, consisting Asmari, Pabdeh and Khami reservoirs, and Shadegan field, consisting Asmari and Bangestan reservoirs.
More than 60 Iranian and foreign companies have announced readiness for talks with the NISOC on the NISOC contract and up to so far, 33 companies out of the total have entered talks.
The NISOC managing director had already announced that his company is going to sign several MoUs by December 20.

Q: Monolithic Haskell projects vs partitioning them into smaller programs In his Monad Reader article on Hoogle p.33, Neil Mitchell advocates bundling up Haskell projects into a single executable with multiple modes. (FYI Neil Mitchell's CmdArgs library makes this easy.) So there might be one mode to start a web server, another mode to query the database from the command line, etc. Quote:

Provide one executable
Version 3 had four executable programs – one to generate ranking
  information, one to do command line searching, one to do web
  searching, and one to do regression testing. Version 4 has one
  executable, which does all the above and more, controlled by flags.
  There are many advantages to providing only one end program – it
  reduces the chance of code breaking without noticing it, it makes the
  total file size smaller by not duplicating the Haskell run-time system,
  it decreases the number of commands users need to learn. The move to
  one multipurpose executable seems to be a common theme, which tools
  such as darcs and hpc both being based on one command with multiple
  modes.�

My question: Is it generally considered a best practice in Haskell to put everything in a single larger, monolithic executable instead of, say, following the "Unix philosophy" and building small, independent, interoperating Haskell programs that communicate via database or text streams?
I can see how a large monolithic Haskell program lets you leverage type safety better by sharing core data types throughout the whole system. But the standard warnings against large monoliths still seem to apply, including the increased risk of dependency conflicts.

A: There have often been many Unix tools that provided complex functionality via sub-commands, and I think that the number of them have been growing lately.
My first example would be the Unix shell. There are several commands that are built-in and various shells build in different sets of commands while leaving others to be implemented as binaries.
Another classic Unix example would be the vi editor. Many implementations provide the functionality of a read-only file viewer (view) as well as a command-based editor (ex) depending on the name by which the binary is invoked. The binary is linked to the filesystem under several names so that the same binary provides all tools.
As a more contemporary example, the git version control package is implemented in a similar way as I described vi, although it has a small set of binaries that are linked as a much larger set of names in the filesystem instead of just a single binary. Furthermore, you can invoke the functionality via the individual file names, such as git-status and git-diff, or you can use a multi-level command via the primary git binary, e.g. git status and git diff.
So I would suggest that this has been an accepted practice even in the Unix world for quite a while, and you should not discard the advice due to conflict with Unix philosophy.

A: You can get the best of both worlds to a certain extent with symbolic links to your executable, and examining ARGV[0] for behaviour.
If there's no need or intention to upgrade such tools separately, then I think putting them in one program is the best approach. I think this applies if the tools are closely related, like what you've mentioned in your example.
This isn't against the unix philosophy, ls has a whole raft of options that change it's behaviour that you could theoretically put into separate programs. But they share the common functionality of listing the contents of directories, so it's all in the same executable.
But if the functions are largely separate (i.e. ls and cat) and could reasonably be upgraded separately, then putting them in separate executables may be appropriate.

'The X Factor' U.S. 2011: Lakoda Rayne, InTENsity, Stereo Hogzz in Top 12
by knot move
"The X Factor" U.S. narrowed down its Top 17 finalists to the Top 12 in the show's first live episode that Fox aired on October 25, 2011. In the end, three acts from each of the four categories made the cut, as chosen by the judge who is the mentor for each category. "The X Factor" U.S. judges are Simon Cowell, L.A. Reid, Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger. (Voting from the public begins on November 2, 2011.)
Singing for their survival in the competition were:
Mentored by judge Paula Abdul
Contestants: The Brewer Boys, InTENsity, Lakoda Rayne and The Stereo Hogzz
The Stereo Hogzz did a retro-meets-modern version of Otis Redding's "Try a Little Tenderness" with plenty of flashy choreography and a little bit of hip-hop thrown in the mix. It was a show-stopping performance that got unanimous praise from the judges. Reid commented, "It was really good. You've come a long way since the first time we watched you." Scherzinger added, "That was solid all the way around. It was current and classic at the same time." Cowell said, "I love this band! There is nothing right now in the charts like you. There should be a band like you in the charts right now." Abdul added, "I'm so proud."
(Click here to watch the Stereo Hogzz's performance.)
The Brewer Boys did a medley of Hall & Oates' "Rich Girl" and George Michael's "Faith." Although Scherzinger and Abdul liked the performance, Reid said that the Brewer Boys seemed to be outside of Abdul's comfort zone of groups (as in, the Brewer Boys aren't the type to do dance choreography as part of their act). Scherzinger gushed to the Brewer Boys, "If I was a teenager again, I'd have you all over my walls." Abdul commented to the Brewer Boys, "I think you've come a long way … You have a unique sound, and I'm very proud of you." Reid said, "I don't know if I was blown away, but it was very good." Cowell said the Brewer Boys were good but criticized, "This, to me, didn't shine."
(Click here to watch the Brewer Boys' performance.)
InTENsity did a highly energetic medley performance of Kenny Loggins' "Footloose" and Shirley Ellis' "The Clapping Song," and got praise from all of the judges. Reid said, "That was really impressive." Scherzinger added, "You're all stars." Cowell said InTENsity was like "a new, young 'Glee'" cast and "I think there's a fan base for you." Abdul added, "You rose to the occasion. I"m very proud."
(Click here to watch InTENsity's performance.)
Lakoda Rayne sang a country-pop version of Dexy's Midnight Runners' "Come on Eileen" and got the best reviews from the judges in this category. Reid said that if Lakoda Rayne had done that performance for him as an audition to get a record deal, he would sign them to a worldwide record deal. He added, "I love everything about you. You did a great job." Scherzinger commented, "You make girl groups look good. You sounded amazing, and you look classy." Cowell added, "There is a gap in the market for a group like you." Abdul said once again, "You made me really proud."
(Click here to watch Lakoda Rayne's performance.)
In the end, Abdul chose the Stereo Hogzz, InTENsity and Lakoda Rayne to represent the Groups category in the show's Top 12 of 2011.

By Chakri K September 23rd, 2018 AT 1:47 PM
Airtel Online Store has been offering various smartphones with down payment and EMI payment option for postpaid users. However, prepaid users have been left out for a while now. Until now, if an Airtel prepaid user wants to purchase a device on Airtel Online Store, then they have to migrate to postpaid and get the device under EMI scheme. To make it hassle-free, Airtel is now offering smartphones with down payment and EMI option to its prepaid users as well. Although, only three smartphones (Nokia 7 Plus, Nokia 6.1 and Oppo F9 Pro) is currently available for prepaid users, alongside for postpaid users. Airtel is even offering 1.4GB data per day, unlimited voice calls and 100 SMS per day for users who purchase the device.
Airtel Prepaid Users Can Now Purchase Smartphones from Airtel Online Store
At the moment, only three smartphones- Nokia 7 Plus, Nokia 6.1 (4GB) and Oppo F9 Pro are being made available for prepaid users. If a user is looking to purchase the Nokia 7 Plus from Airtel Online Store, then a one-time payment of Rs 7,699 will be collected at the time of purchase. And for the next 12 months, users will have to make a payment of Rs 1,734, which also includes data, voice calling and SMS benefits for a year. Airtel states that the monthly amount should be paid directly to the lender. For the unaware, the Nokia 7 Plus is priced at Rs 25,999 in India and if a user purchases the device from Airtel Online Store, then the final amount of the phone after 12 months becomes Rs 28,507.
Talking about the Oppo F9 Pro, users will have to make a one-time payment of Rs 6,015 and a monthly EMI amount of Rs 1,714 for 12 months. Lastly, Airtel is also offering the 4GB RAM version of Nokia 6.1 for prepaid plans. For the Nokia 6.1, users have to make an upfront payment of Rs 4,599, followed by a monthly EMI of Rs 1,275 every month for 12 months.

Theater Review: 'Abundance' is a tragicomic look at Old West
Mar 2, 2015 at 12:01 AM Mar 2, 2015 at 1:00 AM
NEW YORK (AP) - In sagas about the American Wild West, pioneers were brave and true-hearted cowboys and homesteaders tamed the savage land while their womenfolk happily tended hearth and family.
NEW YORK (AP) � In sagas about the American Wild West, pioneers were brave and true-hearted cowboys and homesteaders tamed the savage land while their womenfolk happily tended hearth and family.
Playwright Beth Henley provided a much less romantic perspective in her 1989 feminist Western drama, ironically titled "Abundance."
The polished revival that opened Sunday night off-Broadway at the Beckett Theatre, presented by The Actors Company Theatre, is staged with restraint and wit by co-artistic director Jenn Thompson.
It's a dark look at 25 years in the gritty lives of a quartet of 1860s Wyoming settlers. Twists and turns, often melodramatic, are presented simply by a strong cast, in a series of vignettes laden with insights about human nature, friendship, and the dream-killing effects of tough circumstances.
Henley is best-known for quirky Southern comedies like "Crimes of the Heart," for which she won a Pulitzer Prize in 1981. In "Abundance," tragicomic undertones are showcased by Thompson's effective guidance and spare settings.
Things begin hopefully, with a friendship that develops between two anxious mail-order brides, (Tracy Middendorf and Kelly McAndrew), who meet at a stagecoach depot and bond while sharing their hopes about the unknown men who have sent for them.
Romantic, senstive Bess Johnson is given tremulous naivete mixed with determination by Middendorf, while McAndrew is spirited and tomboyish as Macon Hill, who spouts things like, "I savor the boundlessness of it all!" and is wide open to adventure in this brand new territory.
First of many disappointments: neither of their menfolk is a great prize. Bess' tender-hearted suitor is replaced by his mentally unstable, crass and selfish brother, Jack, (Todd Lawson, superbly "mean as a snake"), while Macon's husband, Will, is a hapless, dull but decent, one-eyed widower (a sympathetic, slump-shouldered portrayal by Ted Koch).
But the women try to make the best of their lot, becoming neighbors and brightening one another's lives. Macon discovers a flair for good business decisions, while Bess clings to their girlish plan to escape their dreary husbands. Over time, we see the rise and fall of dreams and fortunes, along with lusty betrayals and drastic personal changes wrought by the harsh landscape, tough economic times and bad choices.
The most affecting moments are the simple conversations between the two women. What most touches the heart is Henley's depiction of the strength and support that true friendship can provide.

Frontier CEO: Niobrara opportunity for Sterling
NJC looking at adding new academic program
Date:April 10, 2012
Oil service company reaches into Bakersfield
A large national company active in North Dakota's booming petroleum industry has stepped into Kern County's crowded oil services business with the purchase of a family-run operation with offices in Bakersfield and Colorado.
The Phoenix-based buyer, privately held Frontier Energy Group LLC, provides a variety of oil field services from 16 locations in North Dakota, Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska, Montana and Utah. Its purchase of Spicer Wireline Service Inc. gives Frontier a toehold in California.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Neither company could be reached for comment Tuesday.
Frontier said in a news release Tuesday that it plans to hire additional employees in Kern County and expand its menu of services and its geographical reach within a year. It noted that Spicer's South Union Avenue headquarters "will be Frontier's first location in the San Joaquin Valley."
The transaction is noteworthy not because a national company is buying a locally based oil field services business; the entire industry has consolidated in recent years, and several independently owned Bakersfield companies have been acquired as discoveries of petroleum reservoirs here have raised Kern's energy profile.
As Frontier's news release suggests, the purchase is significant largely because the company has experience in the Bakken formation, a shale oil area that has put North Dakota at the heart of a domestic oil boom.
Representatives of local oil field service companies theorized that Frontier may be trying to parlay its technical experience in North Dakota to garner new business in California's largely untapped shale formations, which are similar in some ways to the Bakken.
"It might be just the thought of trying to get in front of the line," said Steve Layton, president of Bakersfield-based oil producer E&B Natural Resources Management Corp.
Frontier's entry to the local market could help ease the waiting list for getting a well rig out onto oil fields.
"There seems to be more demand for services than supply right now," he said.
But Frontier's local competitors noted that addressing the backlog presents its own challenge: finding experienced oil workers.
"They're going to have a difficult time" finding qualified employees, said Jay Mercer, human resources and health, safety and environment coordinator in Bakersfield for Kenai Drilling. He added that Kenai chose to reduce its growth amid the recent increase in local oil activity in order to keep its safety record strong.
Spicer specializes in what are known as wireline services, such as tests that tell oil producers how far down fluids can be found in a well, as well as underground detonations required as part of well abandonment jobs. The company works with small, independent producers as well as some large oil companies.
Gordon Isbell, vice president of Bakersfield's Excalibur Well Services, said the acquisition will mean greater competition, which has the potential to drive down oil field prices locally.
He added that Spicer's owners probably made a good decision to sell now while the industry's fortunes are strong.
"I think it's obviously a great time to sell, if you're going to sell your product line," he said.

So, once again it's been a long time since I've posted here. I'll say again that my intentions are to post here more often, but I know that that would be me sounding rather like a broken record. I can, however, guarantee that this will be the last post of 2016.
I've recently acquired an ABN (Australian Business Number) for Dezonus Productions. This means that I'm now actually allowed by law to charge people for services rendered. What it means for me, is that I'm now able to properly set myself up as a Freelance Web Developer.
I'm currently working on revamping the Dezonus Productions site. As it stands, it makes for a great folio site, but does not at all convey anything about the web development services I will provide (as when it was created, I wasn't really doing that). So far, I have a really cool design that I'm quite proud of, I've just got to figure out a few more things before I code it up.
I've currently got a few clients lined up for next year, which is quite exciting. If I can get some momentum going as a Web Developer, that would be fantastic.
As far as that "Ambitious Project" I mentioned in my last post goes, that been put on hold indefinitely. It was a project for a Client, but I've been unable to speak to said client in quite some time.
As far as Game Development goes right now, it's essentially on the back-burner. That said, I am working on fleshing out a concept for a really ambitious game, but the problem as far as I see it is the scope is way out of proportion. Something that requires a bit more thought I think.
I've been working on a pretty ambitious project for a while now. It's for a client, and I don't think I'm supposed to talk about what it is. However, what I can say, is this is by far the most ambitious and complicated project that I have ever done. It blows all of my other PHP and SQL projects out of the water.
Obviously, with this magnitude of a project, I'm going to write up here, and on my Folio (which has been fleshed out recently) when I'm done. But until then, I need to mostly keep it under wraps.
I'm having fun doing it though.
So, I finished up my degree a bit over a month ago, and now I'm transitioning to the next chapter of my life.
I'm still quite disheartened that GBL isn't going anywhere, because not only was that a really cool game, but working on it for the last year was one of the most exciting and fulfilling things I've done it quite some time. And now, with it gone…All that effort was for not really all that much. I mean sure, yes, we completed the assessment, and did quite well (distinction grade), but this is a game, that's awesome to play, and it's never going to come to fruition.
So, in the meantime, I'm working on projects. I have another site with JTown in the works, as well as a web project on my own. Hopefully, these will boost the strength of my web portfolio, and make me more likely to get work.
I also have some ideas for games projects, but these are on the back-burner right now. Part of this is because I'm dreading learning a new 3d modelling program. I'm quite used to 3ds Max, and enjoy working with it, but the student version I had can't be used commercially, and the commercial version is obscenely expensive ($280/month, combined with the fact that I fundamentally disagree with software subscriptions). Right now, Blender is looking the best.
So, as I've written about a bit, I worked on a really cool game over the course of 2015. On a team of 9, we made this awesome splitscreen hovertank arena deathmatch game called "Galactic Battle League 3015", as our final year game project. I was super proud of this, we did really well with it. We had a lot of people at PAX who wanted to buy it, plus intrest from ID@XBOX.
We were at the Swinburne Games Lab Showcase. Most of the team was there, and so we got to discuss where to from here.
Long story short, as we made everything using student/educational versions of software, we'd basically have to start again, and not many of the team members wanted to do that. So, Galactic Battle League will not be going any further.
We're going to try get a free version put up on the Swinburne Games Lab site, so I'll definitely link that if that happens.
Again I didn't manage to post anything in quite some time. Whoops. With a bit of luck, this shouldn't happen so much any more, but I've said that a few too many times.
So, PAX Aus and GBL. PAX was huge, a really awesome sea of lights, gamers, games and merch. I ended up buying a Portal Gun and a Sennheiser gaming headset. But as far as the stands went, there weren't all that many that interested me. As I wasn't die hard on Fallout, or Battlefront, or Wargaming (World of Tanks and the like), they were sort of the biggest attraction. That, and stands giving away stuff. But, mostly, I was there for GBL.
So, we had lots of people come up and play Galactic Battle League. A lot of them wanted to buy it, but sadly we're not at a stage where we're ready to sell it. We also had a guy from ID@XBOX come up and have a chat with us (me, actually, as I was minding the stand at the time). He thought it was a pretty cool game, and encouraged that if we get set up to get in touch with them to potentially get it on Xbox One. That was pretty damn exciting! We also found an image gallery put out by Kotaku, that was basically a "Highlight of PAX Aus" sort of thing, and that our game was one of the pictures.
So we have ourselves a pretty damn cool game. Combine that with the fact we got a Distinction on our assessment, this project certainly has some ambition.
The only problem now, is sorting out everyone to sit down and have a chat about it. Because, I'd really hate to see all this effort and interest end up going no further.
So, with not posting here in a while, I realised I haven't talked about Galactic Battle League yet. I ought to do so.
It's a Hovertank Arena Battle Game. It's got familiar elements from a whole bunch of games, but nothing is quite like it. I personally find it really fun, and most of our playtesters have also really enjoyed it. Currently it's set to only do 4 player local splitscreen, but that's all we need for now.
Because we're taking this to PAX Aus 2015. It's both extremely exciting, and extremely terrifying. I've never actually been to PAX before, and so the first time I'm going to be going to it, I'm going to be exhibiting.
There's not long left, but I'm pretty confident we'll be ready when it comes.
Anyway, until yesterday, the site had been down for about a fortnight. I hadn't been notified per say, because my contact details were stored in somewhere on their site that didn't exist 3 years ago when I signed up. That's fixed now though.
But yeah, they'd sent a few emails to my other email, the one that inundated with spam from everything under the sun, and thus I rarely check it. But I went onto dezonus.com, noticed it was down with a HostPapa message, and then thought to check it. Lo and behold, yeah, there it was.
Anyway, went to renew, and the charge was almost twice as much. I rang them up to find out what the hell was going on, and the rate I paid first was their "Introductory Rate". Turns out, there's a page on their site, that you can't find unless you're linked to it, that lists the renewal costs, and that's how they can get away with it. It's the same story as my previous host.
I was pissed off, and decided to look around to find better deals…but it seems that even at the higher cost, I'm still doing well.
Still, I think it's really dodgy that they do that, and that most of them seem to do that. It'd be much better if they were honest upfront, and said "Hey, just be aware that when you renew, it'll cost this amount". I probably would have looked that amount up, gone yeah that's good, and been fine with it. Honesty is the best Policy.
Winter happened, and when winter comes, it rains a lot. When it rains, I lose internet at home. Not totally, but it becomes completely unreliable. This lack of reliability prevents me from being able to upload to my webspace, work on any of the sites within the webspace (such as this), and also, most annoyingly, prevents me from playing any games which require internet.
I'm not trying to say that the lack of internet is why I've made no real progress on things such as Dez-Game…That's down to a severe lack of time management and motivation. But I am saying it certainly doesn't help.
I'm a gamer. That's one of the things that I enjoy most, and recently I got introduced to a game called Planetside 2. It's an MMOFPS (Massively Multiplayer Online First Person Shooter), and the only one I have ever seen. I freaking love that game, and it's one of the main sources of excitement I have. In fact, since it, I've found most other games (particularly MMOs) a lot less interesting.
But anyway. Uni is back on now, and this semester's timetable is actually not too bad, in contrast with last semester's… I may very well be able to find some time to get some of these things achieved.
