Tagged as the Whitewater Rafting Capital of the Philippines, Cagayan de Oro and its neighboring places are becoming the Adventure Capital of Mindanao of most tourists because of such extreme sports and adventures the city can offer to its visitors.
From the well-famed whitewater rafting adventure to the longest dual-course zipline in Asia, comes a new and sprouting outdoor adventure that will make you hooked.
The Northern Mindanao Practical Shooting!
Yes! You read it right! Cagayan de Oro City offers a new experience called the Practical Shooting and I myself even experienced it for real. If you love handling guns or just simply love to experience firearm shooting, this will surely for you!
The Northern Mindanao Practical Shooting Associations, Inc. (NMPSA) is an accredited Gun Club with three (3) accredited firing ranges in Region 10: Camaman-an, Laguitas (Malaybalay, Bukidnon) and their newest range located in Zone 9, Anhawon Bulua, Cagayan de Oro City. This new range will surely be the next tourist attraction in the sports of firearm shooting.
With all the firearms we used during the shooting.
I am lucky enough to handle real guns while enjoying the sport which the owner himself JV T. Cabrera let me experienced the firearm shooting on-hand. Thanks to Mr. Rheinhart Marc Conrad Robles (Marketing Officer of NMPSA) for the meet up he did with the owners.
First thing of the shooting experience we did was of-course, lecture from the Range Instructor about the Rules of Firearms Safety, Fundamentals of Shooting, Dry Firing, Live Shooting, and Unloading the bullets of Firearms. There we meet one of the Range Instructor Mr. Ramil and he instructed us with the importance of firearm shooting. With the help of Rheinhart, we had been acquainted with the firearms we used. Gees! I am actually excited to try this sport and experience it on-hand.
Meanwhile, the guns we used were 1911 classic 45, Ruger 22 pistol, Ruger 22 rifle, Pump action shot-gun, MP5 Sub Machine Gun, and one of my favorites, the world war II Thompson Sub Machine Gun. And yes, these firearms have real rounds of ammunition.
By the way, my favorites of the firearms we used are the MP5 Sub Machine Gun and of course, the world war II Thompson Sub Machine Gun. I feel like I'm on a counter strike and call of duty games while holding and firing the guns. Lmao. See that picture on the left side? Yeah! That's one of a big thing!
For a record, a real Thompson's weight is heavy than a long-hand shot gun. Gees! Luckily, I do some weight lifting and strengthening twice and/or thrice a week.
I really enjoyed my experience and planning to come back and experience it again and again, and again. Thanks NMPSA for the accommodation and learning. This will surely be a great adventure and sport.

Q: Allow Camera and Microphone Access Without User Input Have a UWP application that requires Camera and Microphone access.
This application will be deployed on 1,000+ computers through SCCM.
We don't want to have someone touch all 1,000+ computers to allow these in privacy settings.
Is there a way to script or automate that these be allowed default for the UWP?

A:
Allow Camera and Microphone Access Without User Input

I'm afraid there is no such api that could skip user confirm, as you know there are many capabilities need to be confirmed for security reason. and it's by design and managed by system. And the confirm dialog will appear only when you need to use the related APIs(camera capture). Once permission is granted once that permission will persist until the user retracts it.
If you do want this feature please go ahead post this with windows feedback hub app.

Patients who have suffered serious Meridia side effects, such as heart attack or stroke.
Meridia has been linked to an increased risk of heart attack, stroke, resuscitated cardiac arrest and death.
Meridia is manufactured by Abbott Laboratories.
Meridia is a prescription drug designed for weight loss and maintenance of weight loss in obese individuals.
On October 8, 2010 the FDA issued a Meridia recall following a nearly year-long safety review of the prescription weight loss drug.
Abbott Laboratories issued a Meridia recall after the FDA asked the company to stop marketing the prescription weight loss drug. The recall decision was made after a study indicated an increased risk of stroke and heart attack in users. FDA officials stated that the drug's little weight loss benefits, along with the serious side effects, justified the market withdrawal.
A research study, known as SCOUT (Sibutramine Cardiovascular Outcome Trial), found a 16% increase in the risk of heart attack, stroke, resuscitated cardiac arrest or death in patients taking Meridia. The study also showed a small difference in the weight loss of patients taking Meridia and those receiving the placebo. Meridia was originally approved in 1997 as a weight loss and weight maintenance drug in obese people and overweight individuals with risk factors for heart disease. It gained approval based on research which indicated that more patients taking the drug lost at least 5% of their body weight than those in the placebo group who were put on a diet and exercise regimen. The post marketing study, which was performed on obese people aged 55 and older with a history of heart disease and type 2 diabetes, intended to show that Meridia use lessened a patient's chances of developing heart problems. Rather, the results indicated that patients taking the drug actually had an increased risk of developing cardiovascular side effects.
Due to the recall, users who suffered a heart attack or stroke may be able to pursue a Meridia lawsuit against Abbott Laboratories. Meridia users who suffered cardiovascular side effects of the drug may be entitled to collect financial compensation for medical bills, lost wages and other damages.


Opening date set for the return of a Shreveport ice cream shop.
Marble Slab Creamery soon will reopen with a new look, new owners and a new line of flavors.
Marble Slab Creamery is tentatively scheduled to open late-July/early-August at 1655 E. Bert Kouns Industrial Loop, suite 600 in Shreveport. It will be just a few doors down from its previous location in the same shopping plaza.
Marble Slab Creamery was a Shreveport staple for about 20 years until the previous owners closed shop last November, said the new co-owners Chris and Kristen Simmons.
The husband-wife business partners are in the process of remodeling and relaunching the brand.
"I remember going to Marble Slab as a child," Chris said. "I'm excited about Marble Slab as a brand purely as an ice cream lover. The idea of being able to invest in it on the other side of it is exciting."
The Simmons want to uphold the Shreveport tradition of families and community members stopping in for a scoop and a good time.
"I want people to visit and have experiences I had when I was growing up," Chris said.
"It'll be a place for families and individuals looking for a break in the day — whether that be on a hot, summer night, after the movie, pre-movie or on date night. Nobody leaves the ice cream store mad. It's just a little bright spot in the day."
The parents of two have already introduced and incorporated their family into the business. They've deemed their 5-year-old son as the "official ice cream taste tester," Kristen said.
The new Marble Slab Creamery site is being renovated to adopt a modern, up-to-date look. It will be "sleeker," Chris said, with a larger dining room and additional seating.
Customers also will notice some changes to its menu, although their unique fan favorites will make their return.
"We offer a few flavors that are unique to Marble Slab that other places don't offer," Kristen said. "Some specific ones I've heard people have been missing is the Cinnamon Vanilla and Cheesecake and some flavors we've just become known for that you can't really get other places."
The taste, quality and flavors of the ice cream are leading reasons for why customers have loved the company over the years, Kristen said. And the "secret" is in the recipe and creation process.
"Some ice cream shops have their ice cream sent to their store from a warehouse," Kristen said. "Every ice cream we sell, we have personally made it ourselves in the kitchen. We use real ingredients, everything is fresh and it comes across in the taste of the product."
If visiting Marble Slab Creamery for the first time, Kristen's recommends the Coffee ice cream. Chris recommends his favorite — Cinnamon Vanilla ice cream with pecan toppings.
However, customers will have their choice of more than 20 rotating toppings, such as peanut butter sauce, bubblegum balls, chocolate and yellow cake pieces, and Pop Rocks.
"Whenever a customer comes in they can get as many toppings as they want for no extra charge," Kristen said.
A couple of new items to come on board are the Red Velvet S'mores ice cream and the Red Velvet waffle cone.
Plus, the menu features milkshakes, smoothies, ice cream cakes, low-fat frozen yogurt and more.
Once renovations and hiring and training the staff are complete, the Simmons will have a soft opening for the ice cream shop. It'll be followed by a grand opening celebration, to include giveaways and coupons and family-friendly activities.
Follow The Shreveport Times for updates on the opening of Marble Slab Creamery.

InsiderBusinessGovernment and Cyprus Seeds join forces to strengthen innovation
Government and Cyprus Seeds join forces to strengthen innovation
A deal between the government and Cyprus Seeds for the funding of academic research teams in Cyprus comes into force following the signing of an agreement between Cyprus Seeds and the Research and Innovation Foundation (RIF).
RIF will support the first 12-month cycle of Cyprus Seeds grants and services programme with up to €500,000 to match the funds which Cyprus Seeds has already secured from the private sector in Cyprus and the Greek/Cypriot Diaspora in the USA and Europe.
Specifically, the programme will support seven research teams, chosen after a very competitive application process, including a written application and a presentation of their business idea to foreign experienced entrepreneurs and experts in innovation and start-ups.
Three of the Teams are hosted at the University of Cyprus (UcY), two are from the Cyprus University of Technology (CUT) and two are from the Cyprus Institute of Neurology and Genetics (CING).
Cyprus Seeds is a non-profit initiative which was launched in November 2018 with the objective to support the commercialisation of game changing academic research being carried out in the universities and research centres in Cyprus.
It provides seed funding, in the form of grants, as well as business skills training combined with mentoring and networking abroad. The initial promoters of Cyprus Seeds are the Leventis Foundation, the Hellenic Initiative (THI), a not-for-profit organisation in New York, whose members are Greeks and Philhellenes of the Diaspora in the USA, which supports entrepreneurship in Greece and Cyprus, as well as individual Cypriots and Greeks of the Diaspora in the Boston area, UK and Switzerland.
The agreement signed between the RIF and Cyprus Seeds highlights the activities of Cyprus Seeds to mobilise private capital to support innovative entrepreneurship in Cyprus, to develop networks of experts and entrepreneurs abroad who will provide high-level mentoring/coaching to the Cypriot research teams and start-ups, as well as to the development of strong links of the Cyprus innovation ecosystem with members of the Greek and Cypriot Diaspora, initially in the USA.
Supporting Cyprus Seeds is part of the government's efforts to boost Cyprus' innovation performance, capitalising on the results of innovative scientific research from Cypriot universities and research institutes and turning national investment in research and development into tangible benefit for the economy and society.
The agreement was signed at a special ceremony that was held at RIF's offices on September 9, between the Chief Scientist for Research and Innovation and Chairman of the Board of Directors of RIF, Kyriacos Kokkinos and the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Cyprus Seeds, Jeremy Downward.
It follows the signing of a 'Memorandum of Understanding' between the two organisations in June of this year.
In statements at the signing, Kokkinos talked about the contribution of Cyprus Seeds in changing the mindset of young scientists and researchers in our country, encouraging them to dare think in a more entrepreneurial manner.
He also referred to the key role of successful entrepreneurs of the Greek and Cypriot Diaspora in the United States and Europe, in the effort to achieve the goals of Cyprus Seeds, as they take on the role of coaches and mentors, providing hands-on, valuable support to the research teams.
Downward extended his warm thanks to the Cyprus Government for actively supporting the initiative, while also conveying the gratitude of the Hellenic Initiative who are the anchor donors of the Cyprus Seeds initiative.
Downward noted that the Agreement reflects both the Government's commitment to support commercialisation of academic research in Cyprus, as well as its trust in the Cyprus Seeds itself in achieving its goals. He also added that he is looking forward to a close collaboration with RIF to capitalise on the talented youth of Cyprus in order to create new business ventures that will create new opportunities for employment as well as attract investors to Cyprus.
More information about the support programme of Cyprus Seeds is available on www.cypruseeeds.com.

Сэр Уи́льям Ге́нри Пе́ркин (ста́рший) (; 12 марта 1838, Лондон — 14 июля 1907, Садбери, Мидлсекс) — английский -органик, создатель анилинового красителя мовеина. Отец Уильяма Генри Перкина (младшего).

Детство

Уильям Перкин родился в восточной части Лондона; он был младшим из семи детей в семье. Отец, Джордж Перкин, был преуспевающим плотником; мать, Сара, родом из Шотландии, в детском возрасте переехала в Лондон. Уильям был крещён в приходе церкви Святого Павла (Шадуэлл), который исторически связан с такими известными личностями, как Джеймс Кук, Джейн Рэндольф Джефферсон (мать Томаса Джефферсона) и Джон Уэсли.

До 14 лет включительно Перкин обучался в школе Лондона, где его учителем был Томас Холл, который покровительствовал его талантам и вдохновил на продолжение карьеры в области химии.

Открытие мовеина
В 1853 году, в возрасте пятнадцати лет, Перкин поступил в Королевский химический колледж Лондона (ныне входит в состав Имперского колледжа Лондона), где начал своё обучение под руководством Августа Вильгельма фон Гофмана.

В первой половине XIX века химия была плохо развита: несмотря на принятие атомной теории, открытие большинства элементов и существование техники определения соотношения элементов в химических соединениях, всё ещё было тяжело определять структуры химических соединений. Гофман выдвинул и опубликовал гипотезу о том, как возможно было бы синтезировать хинин — вещество, использующееся для лечения малярии, в  натуральном виде получаемое из коры только одного растения — хинного дерева — и потому являющееся довольно дорогим. Перкин, который к тому времени стал ассистентом Гофмана, приступил к серии экспериментов с целью синтезировать хинин. В 1856 году, во время пасхальных каникул, которые Гофман проводил на своей родине — в Германии, Перкин провёл ещё несколько экспериментов в примитивной лаборатории в комнате на верхнем этаже своего дома на Кэйбл-стрит в восточном Лондоне. Здесь он сделал своё великое открытие: из анилина, частично преобразованного химической реакцией в сырую смесь, с помощью экстракции спиртом можно выделить субстанцию яркого пурпурного цвета. Перкину, который увлекался рисованием и фотографией, сразу понравился результат, и он вместе со своим братом Томасом и другом Артуром Курчем продолжил создавать образцы. Так как эти эксперименты не были частью работы над хинином, для того, чтобы Гофман ничего не узнал о них, трое исследователей переехали в хижину, находившуюся в саду Перкина.

Предполагая, что наладив производство вещества пурпурного цвета, они смогут начать продавать его в качестве краски, исследователи продолжили изыскания в этом направлении. Их эксперименты показали, что субстанция окрашивает шёлк, и что окрашивание настолько устойчиво, что цвет сохраняется после многократной стирки и длительного воздействия солнечных лучей. Придумав для изобретённой краски название «мовеин», они отправили несколько образцов в компанию по покраске, находившуюся в городе Перт (Шотландия), и получили многообещающий отзыв от генерального директора этой компании Роберта Пуллара. В августе 1856 года, в возрасте 18 лет, Перкин подал заявку на патент. В то время все красители, использовавшиеся для покраски одежды, были натуральными веществами, многие из которых были дорогими и при этом трудно добываемыми. Более того, многие из красителей были малоустойчивыми. Пурпурный цвет, который был зна́ком знатности и престижа с древних времён, был особенно дорогим и тяжело вырабатываемым — краска, известная как тирский пурпур, делалась из слизистых выделений желёз некоторых моллюсков. Её получение было неустойчивым и сложным, поэтому Перкин и его брат поняли, что открыли возможную замену красителю, производство которого может быть использовано в коммерческих целях.

Перкин не мог выбрать лучшего времени для этого открытия: Англия была колыбелью промышленной революции, сильно ускоряемой продвижениями в производстве текстиля. Химия в своём развитии дошла до того момента, когда уже могла оказывать сильное влияние на промышленный процесс, а каменноугольный дёготь (главный источник сырья, необходимого для производства мовеина) вырабатывался в большом количестве как побочный продукт процесса производства коксового газа и каменноугольного кокса.

Открыв краситель, Перкин столкнулся с целым рядом проблем: найти деньги на начало производства, научиться производить краситель дёшево, адаптировать его к хлопку, заработать признание среди коммерсантов-красильщиков и создать спрос на краску. Он был активен во всём: убедил отца вложить свой капитал и предложил своим братьям стать партнёрами по созданию фабрики. Уильям изобрёл закрепитель для хлопка, давал технические советы красильщикам и рекламировал новый краситель. Спрос вырос тогда, когда сходный цвет избрали королева Виктория в Англии и императрица Евгения, супруга Наполеона III, во Франции, и когда юбки с кринолином, на пошив которых требовалось много ткани, вошли в моду. Благодаря упорной работе и некоторой удаче Перкин разбогател.

После открытия мовеина появилось много новых анилиновых красок (некоторые были также открыты Перкином) и по всей Европе были построены фабрики по их производству.

Поздние годы

Уильям Перкин продолжал исследования в области органической химии всю свою жизнь: он открывал и продавал синтетические красители, такие как британский фиолетовый и перкинский зелёный, открыл способы добычи кумарина — одного из первых синтетических сырьевых материалов для изготовления духов, и коричную кислоту. Реакция, проводимая при её синтезе, позднее стала известна как реакция Перкина. Местные жители стали замечать, что цвет Великого Соединённого канала, расположенного неподалёку, изменялся каждую неделю в зависимости от активности Перкинской Гринфордской красильни. В 1869 году Перкин нашёл способ коммерческого производства отличной красной краски под названием «Ализарин» из антрацена, который был получен из корня марены сорока годами ранее, в 1826 году, французским химиком Пьером Робике одновременно с пурпурином — другой красной краской, пользующейся меньшим спросом. Однако немецкая химическая компания BASF успела запатентовать этот же процесс за день до него. В течение следующих десяти лет новообразованная Германская империя быстро сместила Великобританию с позиции центра европейской химической промышленности. К 90-м годам XIX века Германия фактически монополизировала индустрию. В 1874 году Перкин продал свою фабрику и вышел в отставку довольно богатым человеком.

Перкин умер в 1907 году от пневмонии и осложнений, вызванных разрывом аппендикса. Он был женат дважды: первый раз в 1859 году на Джемине Харриет, дочери Джона Лиссетта, и второй раз на Александре Каролине, дочери Хельмана Моллво. У него было двое сыновей от первого брака: Уильям Генри Перкин младший и Артур Георг Перкин. Также у него был один сын от второго брака — Фредерик Моллво Перкин, и четыре дочери. Все три сына впоследствии стали химиками. В течение 46 лет Перкин был членом компании Lethersellers', а с 1896 по 1897 год был её главой. Его отец и дед также были членами этой компании.

Сегодня голубая мемориальная доска висит на доме на улице Кабель, в котором жил Перкин, на перекрёстке переулка Короля Давида и около завода Перкина в Гринфорде.

Почётные звания и награды
За свою жизнь Перкин получил множество почётных званий и наград. В июне 1866 года он был избран членом Лондонского королевского общества, в 1879 году получил Королевскую медаль, а в 1889 — медаль Дэви. Он был произведён в рыцари в 1906 году и стал первым, удостоенным награды, названной в его честь — медали Перкина — премии, организованной в честь пятидесятилетней годовщины открытия мовеина. Сегодня медаль Перкина признана высшей наградой в области американской промышленной химии. Она вручается ежегодно Американской частью общества химической промышленности способным и одарённым химикам.

Another day another definition. It's a bit telling that with all these conflicting definitions and opinions coming from various "official" sources from within the Government of the Sultanate of Oman that no one appears to have a clear idea of what is going on. Perhaps it's all been lost in translation.
The Ministry of Manpower and the Royal Oman Police (ROP) confirmed to Times of Oman that the only way an expat worker seeking to move employers can avoid being forced to leave the country for two years, even if they have completed their initial contract, is to obtain a NOC from their current employer. However, the ministry and the ROP clarified that an expat worker with an NOC can transfer companies inside Oman, even before that initial contract is complete.
But the rules mean that company bosses must choose between giving the certificate and then being unable to hire another expat, thus reducing the number of foreigners the business can employ, or refusing to issue the NOC.
Labour clearances are only valid for 15 months from the date of issue – you don't get to keep them past this time, you have to re-apply. When an employer takes on an expat, they employ them in the specific position that their labour clearance is for – eg an accountant would be hired as an accountant – and not an Engineer.
Should the employee then decide to leave their job, the visa is cancelled – it would be cancelled anyway. Should the employee decide to leave their job and seek another job within Oman, their visa is cancelled and a new one would be required. Here is where the confusion is; what this new ruling is saying is that at this point, unless your previous employer signs a NOC, you have to cool off for 2 years before returning to work in Oman.
An official at the Ministry of Manpower confirmed, "In case an expatriate worker exits the country after getting his visa cancelled, the employer is eligible to get a visa in place of that employee. However, if the expatriate worker goes to new company with an NOC within the country, the old employer will not get a visa in his place."
And what this article doesn't mention is that an employer can only replace an expatriate worker on the original labour clearance if it happens within 15 months of the issuance of the original labour clearance. It's a pretty big bloody thing to miss out - unless what the MoM are saying is that now labour clearances are permanent and last forever.
Both the ministry and ROP also confirmed that even if an employee completed their initial contract and they wanted to quit their job and leave the country, they could only return to work in Oman within two years if they had already secured an NOC and used it to get a new visa with their new employer before exiting the Sultanate.
So, if you are changing jobs and you have a NOC, don't leave the country until you have a new visa sorted out – fair enough.
If not the expat must stay away for the two years. The only exception to this rule is if the expat who has left the country is rejoining his previous employer. In this case an NOC is not necessary.
Well, yah we got that bit, this allows large multi-national companies to move their people in and out at their will. Shell, Oxy and BP will be pleased I'm sure.
Now, I'm certainly no learned authority on this but I think I've managed to figure it out. Probably not. But hey it's my blog and I'm gonna roll with it – please tell me where I'm wrong, I'm more than happy to change things so we get it right and have something to refer to. I should also point out that a NOC (in it's old format) is only useful for an expatriate worker to change jobs that are the same – eg a plumber can only be a plumber – you can't change job types. Which means that those people who are, lets say, employed as an artist inside of an advertising agency, and they move to another advertising agency but their new role is as a media buyer, or something not an artist, then they can't do that, and so it's a 2 year holiday for them. Also, just because you get a NOC, your new employer must still have a valid labour clearance for you, you don't keep your existing visa, you get a new one, which requires a separate labour clearance - this is not a new thing.
So the real issue here is the abuse of NOC's and their issuance by employers. Technically, once an employee has been working for 15 months, that labour clearance can't be re-applied to another expatriate worker anyway, and so if the Contract period is 24 months, then there is no ethically fair reason why an employer wouldn't sign a NOC. One could argue that an employee could pay off the pro-rata balance of costs incurred to put them in that job in the first place (to be totally cleared over 24 months if a 24 month Contract was the original duration) and then get the NOC. The problem here is employers that do not want their employees to go to their competition, and so out of nothing more than spite will refuse to sign a NOC – which was the main reason why the NOC requirement was dropped before anyway.
Try to recruit a maid from the East Asian Countries.
Some workers come here from these countries they dont consider that their sponsor paid at least 1000 OMR to get them from their country to Oman. They depart to another restaurant or company after few months and then the SME is forced to pay again at least 1000 OMR to get his replacement and again and again.
I know that the rule is a bit harsh and i totally agree with that but it wasn't forced until everything was a mess".
That kind of explains the reason for this revision in visa policies from the perspective of an employer. Of course I'm putting on the blinders and skirting the whole issue of investing in employees so they don't want to change jobs, but this is the situation that SME's are getting hurt by the most.
The other thing I wanted to write about today regarding this ToO story is that the journalist quoted a number of people's names in his article. On the front page of a National paper. On a touchy subject, in which he has misreported already. Yet this journalist did NOT ask permission of those people he quoted. And the quotes he lifted? They were from a discussion from the Muscat Where Can I Find CLOSED Facebook group. Classy Fahad, classy.
In tomorrows papers we'll all read how expatriates can drive more than 1 car at any one time after todays announcement stating expats can't have more than 3 vehicles registered to their name in an effort to reduce traffic congestion. Because that totally makes sense.
Two quick points: first of all, the "replacement within 15 months" option seems to be dead, if it was ever there.
We had an employee leave one month after joining us, and the authorities sternly informed us that a labour clearance is strictly for one-time use. A clearance may be valid for 15 months from the date it was issued; all that means is that the clearance must be used within that period. Once used, it's gone. To hire a replacement for the employee who quit we needed to either use an additional clearance (if we had one lying around) or else we had to apply for a 'replacement' clearance.
This brings me to my second point. A 'replacement' clearance application requires supporting documentation of which the most important is proof of exit of the employee who has quit, through the 'visa cancellation' procedure a departing expatriate goes through. No exit? Then, no 'replacement' clearance (and therefore no visa for anyone recruited to fill the vacancy created by the departing employee).
What this means is that an employer who gives a departing employee an NOC (thus allowing him/her to transfer to a new employer without actually leaving the country and then having to wait two years to return) also gives up the ability to obtain a 'replacement' clearance. Some employers may not mind; I think that most will, and NOCs are going to be hard to come by!
What if your boss is a **** (choose appropriate word) and doesn't issue a NOC?
Dalz R: Like he doesn't pay you, or forces you to work longer than the time on your contarct, or even pays you late----you visit the Ministry of Manpower, prove your case, and force a letter of no objection from him. I did it. It can be done but takes bloody forever, and makes your new employwer wait like three months before you can start working again.
It was worth it for me, but hard since I overstayed my visa and passport expired while in the middle of this process. The ROP were actually really kind about it, and only fined me 10 OMR when it should have been a lot more... but I think they don't run things clearly... so no one knows the correct process.
Hey there. Yup, Desert Leopard is right. The 15 month validity for a clearance is ONLY to fill that clearance - in other words, once you get the clearance for whoever - Managing Director OR housemaid, you have 15 months to find the person. This CAN be extended on application but it's dicey - the argument being, if you've lived without them for this long, why do you need them at all?
I think you got a point wrong their Sythe.
100% sure.. that when a company gives a NOC they loose clearance for that position. When a worker leaves the country his individual visa is cancelled at the airport (that is his work visa). Separate to that the company also has a clearance for the job type/position that he did (for an expat to work in that role). This remains open for another expat to fill when he leaves. If a NOC is issued the company loses clearance for that position as there still exists an expat with a NOC to do the same job elsewhere.
In effect the company is saying 'We don't need a burger flipper etc', he can work elsewhere'. and another company takes on a burger flipper. The company can change their expat roles.. but they have to apply to change it. Even if they are sure they can get another expat clearance, it is far more messing about than just keeping the old one.
I have been told outright I cannot have a NOC for this very reason (and the company has never issued one to any employee).
and yeah.. knowing some local reporters. I know they are no more informed than you or me.
ohh.. i basically agree with the second comment. NOC's will not be issued.
What Anonymous posted in first comment is perfectly right. In early days when this ban was still on. Two terms was used LOCAL RELEASE and NOC.
1-Local release is the kind of NOC which allows employee shift locally without leaving country. Companies did issue to employee having good relation or making them redundant.It used to be issued with name of specific companies to which employee was making move, but yes the employee did loose its labor clearance on that.
Recently when i resigned from my Job, this Rule has popped up.
Now my employer has denied to give me NOC because of changed rule. In my current company employee who left were given NOC. but now due to changed rule i have been denied.
I have some doubts about rules, does anyone have answers.
Whether this rule is applicable on people who exit before 1 july 2014.
Whether if someone get a clearance can get before 1 July and exit can get visa after 1 july.
whether Family member Visa also get cancelled along with My visa if i exit.
anyone has any solution to my problem?
Question. What if you got terminated and the company decided to provide you with NOC but not a local release. You found another job with their employment visa. Is it possible to exit and come back and work for the new company? Providing you get the other NOC of course (no local release)?

What is a True Semi-Absentee Franchise, and How Does it Really Work?
Executives on the hunt for a solid investment encounter a plethora of options. But, for those prospective franchisees who don't want to give up their full-time career (at least not yet), it takes care to drill down to those franchise concepts that truly require a lower physical presence and time commitment from day to day and week to week.
A true semi-absentee franchise must be workable as a "side hustle" without impeding upon a full-time job.
You likely have a general idea of what a semi-absentee franchise is, but the defined scope of it may vary depending on which article or franchise company website you consult.
What is a Semi-Absentee Franchise — Really?
The very notion of diving into franchise ownership as a side hustle requires a strong entrepreneurial spirit and drive, but a day only has 24 hours. So what does a semi-absentee franchise look like?
In reality, not all the franchise opportunities that claim to be semi-absentee really are.
The biggest piece of the puzzle is that this model utilizes a full-time manager or a team from the start. This differs from an owner-operator setup, in which an owner may at some point employ a manager to help, but the owner must be involved hands-on from day to day.
A real semi-absentee concept does not require the owner to be present.
Simplicity is Integral
Keeping things as streamlined as possible is, unsurprisingly, a strong catalyst for the success of a semi-absentee business.
To hit the ground running from day one without compromising the demands of one's full-time career, a side hustle franchisee must rely upon a turnkey package. A franchise suited to semi-absentee ownership will offer a system including everything needed to open the business.
Many franchises will promise to be turnkey, but as with any promise, carefully investigate. A quality turnkey franchise will require reasonable fees for support, assistance, and systems, but a suspiciously high markup for the package components may be a red flag.
Unpacking the UNITS Semi-Absentee Model
UNITS Moving and Portable Storage offers an Executive Model that can be run on a semi-absentee basis. Unlike in an owner-operated model, a semi-absentee owner benefits from the proven UNITS franchise system — keeping his or her full-time career (or other businesses) while operating a UNITS franchise.
In the Executive Model, an owner can spend as little as 10 to 15 hours per week in the business while a qualified customer service representative, delivery driver, and outside sales representative tackle the day-to-day duties.
Any franchise company that fudges a bit in its promise of offering a true semi-absentee model is putting a franchisee in a very bad spot. Once invested in the business, if an owner discovers that a franchise requires more of his or her time than expected, this discrepancy can make or break the owner's planned balance of career and side hustle — and hurt the business of both.
Take a breath or two when readying to plunge into the excitement of franchise ownership. Be sure to evaluate the claims of any franchise system about semi-absentee ownership before signing on.

If you like Romanesque art and architecture, a visit to Santa Maria de Lluçà is sure to delight you. The monastery, which takes its name from the region of Llucanès, was consecrated in 905, though it reached its maximum splendour in the 13th century. Today the whole ensemble offers many items of interest, especially the cloister, dating from the 12th century, which contains a variety of decorative elements, among which the capitals, in particular, stand out, although the ironwork decorating the door, the murals and the small museum, with pieces of jewellery and religious objects, are also quite remarkable.
Open 10am to 1.30pm from Wednesday to Friday, 11am to 2pm and 4pm to 6pm at weekends. Prearranged visits only at other times.

LONG BEACH, California — Students at the MIT Media Lab have developed a wearable computing system that turns any surface into an interactive display screen. The wearer can summon virtual gadgets and internet data at will, then dispel them like smoke when they're done.
In the tactile world, we use our five senses to take in information about our environment and respond to it, Maes explained. But a lot of the information that helps us understand and respond to the world doesn't come from these senses. Instead, it comes from computers and the internet. Maes' goal is to harness computers to feed us information in an organic fashion, like our existing senses.
The prototype was built from an ordinary webcam and a battery-powered 3M projector, with an attached mirror — all connected to an internet-enabled mobile phone. The setup, which costs less than $350, allows the user to project information from the phone onto any surface — walls, the body of another person or even your hand.
We at ReadWriteWeb are very excited about next-generation Internet interfaces, such as augmented reality and so-called cross reality. These wearable devices strike me as being the most impressive future Web interface that I've seen in a while. Check out the video and see if you agree.
I find it extremely interesting because this kind of user interface is build up with very low cost and can therefore be spread easily.
Here you can see the first video which demonstrates how a wall is being used to project and interact with several applications. Using a really small projector enables people to project to walls while speaking to a friend standing nearby to someone. Using a projector integrated into a helmet is not very applicable because while you are speaking to your friend the projection is made on your friend's face. Thus switching to a smaller device hanging around your neck is more applicable as your head is free fro movements.
For example someone being in a supermarket and heading from product to product trying to find the cheapeast or most appropriate one is done easily by just scanning the product and retrieving real time information directly from the internet. This has great potential and can be used in a variety of applications.
More ressources can be found on Wired.com, on ReadWriteWeb as well as on the Sixth Sense Project Website, on the Fluid Interfaces Research Group Website and at the official site of MIT Media Lab.


We just found out we've been nominated to not one or two but three prizes within gastronomy and wine.
First DiggMat nominated us to "newcomer of the year". Then Norges Beste Vinkart nominated us to "newcomer of the year". And then we were nominated again by Norges Beste Vinkart for "best wine menu".
We may not win any of our categories, but it's still an honor to be mentioned in the same setting as some of the best restaurants in Norway!


Kevetrin — Innovation Pharmaceuticals Inc.
Kevetrin is a small molecule that has demonstrated the potential of becoming a breakthrough cancer treatment by inducing activation of p53, a protein frequently referred to as the "Guardian of the Genome" due to its critical role in controlling cell mutations. In most cancers, regardless of origin, type, and location, the p53 pathway becomes inactivated (dysfunctional), thus preventing the body from performing its natural anti-tumor functions.
Conducted at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, a Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating Kevetrin in treating Advanced Solid Tumors has been successfully completed, with patients showing good toleration and encouraging signs of potential therapeutic response.
Innovation has concluded its open-label, dose-escalation Phase 2a trial of Kevetrin in Platinum-Resistant/Refractory Ovarian Cancer. Highly encouraging preliminary data from the first patients treated in the trial showed modulation of the p53 protein in response to administration of Kevetrin.
With a promising bioavailability profile, and to leverage its short half-life (the drug exits the body in approximately 8 to 10 hours), efforts are underway to develop Kevetrin as an oral anti-cancer agent (tablet or capsule) that can be administered daily, potentially even multiple times per day.
The FDA has awarded Kevetrin Orphan Drug status for Ovarian Cancer, Pancreatic Cancer, and Retinoblastoma, qualifying it for developmental incentives and an extra 7 years of market exclusivity upon drug approval. The FDA also has granted Kevetrin Rare Pediatric Disease designation for childhood Retinoblastoma.
Kevetrin is protected under a method of use patent.


In Arizona, we soak up everything about springtime. We spend the majority of our days and nights outdoors either watching Spring Training games or basking in the cool, short-lived breeze we have at night. We soak it all in because when summer hits, locals start running everywhere but Arizona.
If and when you're entertaining, you'll realize that nothing impresses people more than a homemade jam. Even though it's fairly easy to make, it's something only a select few still make from scratch. That being said, it gives your guests the feeling you went the extra mile ;).

Second place in the 2013 Caulfield Cup is fine and Dandino for ATB owners
Australian Thoroughbred Bloodstock's international stayer Dandino almost defied his wide barrier draw when a fast finishing runner-up behind Fawkner in the 2013 Caulfield Cup today.
Ridden by Craig Williams and jumping from barrier 16, the son of Dansili had a large contingent of ATB owners ecstatic after his second placing in Australia's second biggest staying race.
"If you had swapped barrier draws you would have swapped the result, no doubt," said rider Craig Williams.
ATB owner Darren Dance who syndicated Dandino earlier this year was excited for his owners and looking forward to Dandino contesting the Melbourne Cup.
"I think we all feel like we've won the race," said Dance.
"When we buy these horses we put in a lot of money and a lot of work. I couldn't be happier and I suppose we can go to Flemington now without a penalty."
"We just wanted him to run well for the owners because they're wonderful people and he did."
ATB hosted more than one hundred of their owners in the Dandino Bar at Caulfield to enjoy the occasion and a great time was had by all.
A number of owners come from interstate to enjoy the day including prominent ATB owner Phil Brittain, who couldn't wipe the smile of his face.
"Everybody dreams of winning a Caulfield Cup or Melbourne Cup," said Phill.
"Last year I was involved in the Jakkalberry ride that saw him run 3rd in a Melbourne Cup."
"Now I have a Caulfield Cup placegetter. It doesn't get much better than that as an owner."
Dandino now heads to the Melbourne Cup on the first Tuesday in November and so do a bunch of very excited owners at Australian Thoroughbred Bloodstock.

Comments Off on How to Upgrade Your Dynamics GP Database
How to Upgrade Your Dynamics GP Database
With the recent release of Microsoft Dynamics GP 2015 R2, many businesses are considering whether or not they should upgrade. One of the biggest issues of any upgrade, and certainly an upgrade involving an application used for day-to-day operations, is updating the underlying database. Financial records, time tracking data, customer records and more can be jeopardized by an improper system update.
When evaluating whether or not to upgrade, here are the factors you should first consider.
Changes in Dynamics' Development Cycle
One of the biggest changes affecting the upgrade process is the faster development cycle Microsoft has moved to. By releasing updates every six months, it has helped cut down the intensity of each upgrade, and the required changes to the underlying database.
"Moving into the future, upgrading Dynamics GP to a new version will be a less intense but more regular activity, as opposed to being treated as a 'once in an era' project," writes Mahmoud M. AlSaadi, Senior Support Engineer, Dynamics Innovations. "Today's upgrades have a lighter impact on the technical environment as a whole, are easier for end users to adopt, and, most importantly, are more efficient in terms of stoppage-time."
One instance where this does not hold true is when Microsoft makes significant changes to the database engine. For example, despite being well within the new, semi-annual release schedule, GP 2015 dropped support for SQL Server 2008.
Aside from such a drastic change as this one, however, the faster release schedule should thankfully make updates--including database upgrades--faster and less troublesome.
While not exhaustive, the following are the basic steps you should take when upgrading your GP database.
Test, test, test and test some more. One of the biggest mistakes many companies make is rushing into an upgrade and attempting it on live, mission-critical data and systems. Instead, set up a test installation using an existing backup and run through the upgrade process. This will help you identify potential errors and issues, as well as the best way to troubleshoot them.
Backup all existing data. If something unforeseen does go wrong, you'll need a complete backup of your most current data.
Download all updates, patches and third-party resources necessary. While Microsoft releases two major versions of GP every year, there may be incremental security and bug-fix patches available. The same is true for any third-party applications, plugins or services you are using in conjunction with GP. Make sure you have the most recent version to reduce the likelihood of a conflict.
Be sure to install at least the same set of features you are currently using in your previous version of GP. If you anticipate using additional features in the future, be sure to install those as well. But make sure to install at least what you are currently using to eliminate the possibility of orphaned data.
Once you have installed the latest version, run the Dynamics GP Utilities It will automatically detect any databases that need to be upgraded and prompt you to do so.
Some customers wonder whether they should upgrade all company databases, or simply upgrade one at a time. Writing for the Microsoft Dynamics GP Community blog, Derek Albaugh recommends upgrading everything at once:
"Upgrading all company databases at the same time is recommended but doesn't make much difference as far as Utilities is concerned, as it will upgrade each database in the same manner regardless. If you choose to upgrade all company databases at the same time, which is default, Utilities will run through all company databases' upgrade process, one after the other, and won't stop until either all company databases have been upgraded successfully, or an error occurs on one of the databases, that requires troubleshooting to move forward."
While any software update—especially one involving an application that is integral to a company's operations—can be a stressful process, Microsoft has done quite a lot to make current upgrades of GP and the underlying database far easier than in years past.
Following the steps outlined above will go a long way toward ensuring a smooth, trouble-free upgrade.

Water is the most important substance on the planet. Life was born in water and it is the basic substance that we enter into our body. From all the water on Earth, only 0.4% is available as drinking water. Ecological changes, due to industrialization and global warming, represent a great danger to the preservation of water and our health. That's why we need to think about water intake, its quality and prevention of pollution of our environment on a daily basis.
Water makes about 80% of our body at birth, and about of 60% in adulthood. The total amount of water varies depending on body weight, age, gender and presence of fatty tissue. A obese person may have up to 30% less water in the body than a person with normal weight at the same age.
Water is a key factor in maintaining the structure and function of all tissues. Approximately 2/3 of the total water in our body is found in cells, and the 1/3 is outside the cells. Daily, 1/7 of intercellular fluid of an adult is regenerated, and ½ of the children. Because of that, water from the body is constantly lost through urine, sweat, stool and breathing in the form of water steam. It is best to to compensate it in the correct time intervals (2 to 3 hours) during the day.
The roles of water in the body are numerous: it is the main solvent and carrier of nutrients, plays an important role in circulation, participates in all metabolic processes and in taking away harmful substances from the body, helps digestion and regular discharge of the intestine, plays a key role in thermoregulation and participates in maintenance balance of electrolyte and acid-base equilibrium.
Adult women should consume at least 2 liters, and men 2.5 liters of fluid per day. Microclimate conditions also affect water needs. In the case of high temperatures during the summer, more water is needed, because we are sweating. Sweating is the most important mechanism of the body's defense against overheating. If the air is dry, more water in the form of steam goes outside when we are breathing, and in this case also, more fluid is needed in relation to the stated needs. During physical activity, recreation and sports, several liters of sweat can be lost, so a much larger amount of water than average should be entered in this case. Athletes have special protocols for hydration before, during and after training to ensure the best physical performance and durability.
The brain contains about 80% water, so mental abilities depends a lot on this valuable liquid. In fact, the first signs of dehydration are problems with concentration, mood, sleepiness, headache. Many people think that only physical work requires regular water intake, but that's not true. Especially if mental activity is followed by drinking coffee, some teas, beverages that contain a lot of sugar. All these beverages increase extracting water through urine, and the body even dehydrates faster. It still remains that the water is the healthiest and best drink, and that the complete hydration makes us very capable for fulfilling everyday, not small demands of life.
Thirst is not always a reliable signal to reach for water. When the thirst comes, the body is already slightly dehydrated. Many adults and children avoid fluid intake because of the insufficient accessibility of the toilet or the type of activity they perform. This habit can change the feeling of thirst. People older than 60 years, can also have reduced this feeling. Because all of that, we should drink a glass of water several times a day and even when we are not thirsty.
Regular water intake brings a number of positive effects to the body. It provides normal brain activity and muscle function, good circulation, cell nutrition, detoxification, normal digestion with regular stool, increased joint mobility, reduced risk for urinary tract stone, normal moisture of skin and mucous membranes, improves skin appearance.
The choice of water is also of great importance. Many people think that the tap water is the best. However, not all towns have water of the same quality. Even the pipes are not well preserved everywhere. Tap water is chlorinated and contains more or less chemical impurities. Fortunately, Serbia is rich in natural mineral waters, which have been used for centuries to improve health and even for medical treatments. That's why we can choose underground waters which are extremely quality from the ecological point of view.
The composition of water is also important. For unlimited use we can consume water with low content of soluble mineral substances. They are suitable for all ages. However, it should be emphasized that among these waters, the best are those that contain a balanced ratio of inorganic matter (natrium, calcium, magnesium, potassium, chlorine and bicarbonate). Natural mineral waters that contain more minerals can be used less often, and show extremely important physiological effects, primarily in improving digestion and metabolism.
People with high blood pressure should avoid water that contain too many natrium. On the other hand, natrium is more needed for those who sweat a lot due to physical activity or during the flight. Minerals from natural mineral waters make an important supplement to the daily intake of minerals through food, and the choice of water depends on physiological factors and health condition.
In an era of irregular nutrition and a modern lifestyle, full of speed and stress, the organism at the cell level creates more harmful substances – free radicals. In order to prevent cell damage, it is important to feed properly, to enter as much water, vegetables and fruit as possible, and as little as possible refined foods. Water is extremely important for the processes of exchange of useful and harmful substances in the cells. On water also depends the efficiency of circulation and the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. If the cell is well hydrated, all processes are optimally carried out.
Some of natural mineral waters can enhance the detoxification process because of their composition. In our country was done a clinical testing of the natural mineral water Heba Strong, rich with bicarbonates and sulphate. It has been found that this water helps organism to release from free radicals and raises the ability of the body to defend against antioxidants. It is important for many people to drink alkaline water, thinking that this is the key of improving their health and of slow aging. They are, of course, useful for the neutralization of excess gastric acid, but the alkalinity of the whole organism depends primarily on bicarbonates. Clinical studies worldwide show that mineral waters that contain high concentrations of bicarbonates increase the alkaline reserve of the organism (including the Heba Strong water), keep the acid-base balance in the body and in this way they affect the entire metabolism, and especially the improvement of the bones and teeth strength.
