This publication explores organizational and technical aspects of radiology, analyzed within the context of the Pan American Health Organization's strategic and programmatic orientations for 1995-1998. It seeks to strike a balance between basic principles of decentralized health services and the requirements that emerge as advances in medical knowledge are incorporated and applied in various areas of the health services. As a complement to the concepts developed in the text, the appendices in the second half of the book present examples of equipment specifications and legislation on practices and specialties, and provide information on technical aspects of quality assurance and radiation protection.
Politicians, administrators, planners, and health professionals, as well as the ministries of health, will find this publication useful as they allocate resources and determine technological configurations for the provision of services. Moreover, it is hoped that this book will help ease the task of those who must reconcile universal health care coverage with quality assurance and radiation protection.

Air Traffic Controller Games Round-up
Posted on May 24, 2016, 7:39 AM, by pinback, under Review.
How would I define the magic of an ATC sim? Well, it's the one simulator which can nearly perfectly recreate the actual experience it is trying to simulate. Being a controller involves sitting in a room, staring at a bunch of blips on the screen, and making them move around. So does playing an ATC sim. I would imagine a perfect ATC sim would make it impossible to tell if you were actually doing it or not, other than the screams of doomed passengers as they plummet to the ground in a fiery ball. More than that, though, the magic is that it's kind of like slow-motion, three-dimensional Asteroids. And who wouldn't want to play that?
Now, let's take a look at the contenders.
For a free Android app (and a $3 PC game), this gets so much right that many of the other "more sophisticated" (and expensive) sims get wrong that it's kind of embarrassing to the other sims. It is definitely a "game", as planes just keep coming, more and more, until you can't handle it, and the more planes you can handle, the higher your score. That's it. You can "cap" your score to keep traffic from increasing, but by that time you've probably had enough anyway. It's terrible easy to use, perfectly suited for a tablet/phone, and just does the whole "line 'em up like a string of pearls" stress-fest about as cleanly and well as possible. If I was going to introduce someone to the genre, I would definitely, without question, tell them to start here. The PC version is slightly superior, but they're both just fine. Score: 8
ATC-SIM
This is a web-based sim, free to play, but $20 gives you a "lifetime registration" which offers a bunch more airports to control, and you can get your name on the high score list for each airport. It requires that you be both the tower and the app/dep controller, which is not realistic, but the game is simple enough that the full documentation is in a little iframe on the website, so if you removed that, it'd be almost too simple to play. Commands are entered with the keyboard. It works. It gives another good taste of the genre for those new to it, and would be my second choice for the newbie, behind Endless. And you can't beat the price. Theoretically he's working on version 2, but it's at least two years late, so I doubt it will happen. Score: 6
Global ATC Simulator
Here's the only one you can buy on Steam. It's main draw is that it contains virtually every airport in the world, complete with published approach/departure procedures. Except a lot of them are wrong, and unclear how to use anyway. Also, while there is a "rush hour" mode where traffic ramps up until you kill someone, the standard mode just goes until you press Quit, and doesn't keep track of any of your history or anything, so you kind of have to make your own goals. It features realistic terrain, and has some other nice features, but is also fairly buggy, and as with most of these goddamn things, support is indistinguishable from nonexistent. I don't dislike it, but it doesn't really do anything GREAT (other than provide all those airports), so there's not a huge draw for me. Plus it's $35, which is more expensive than most of these things. Score: 5
ATC4Real
This one is pretty solid, as far as it goes. It does not offer anything like ILS approaches (which, for instance, is all that Endless ATC offers) and has something like a career mode where the more shifts you put in, the more options open up to you for future shifts. The problem is, the first two or three shifts are ridiculously dull, and last 45 minutes, so it can be almost a two hour grind to get to the good stuff, and that's for each airport. The base game is free and comes with a couple airports, but you can buy $6 bundles that have about three more each. But you have to do that grind on all of 'em. My patience ran out quickly. It's not complex, but it pretty much works (another rarity), so hey, free, try it out, the fuck do I care? Score: 6
Radar Chaos Hawaii Edition
While looking the most "gamey" of all of them (you're limited to tablet-sized resolution, little cartoon characters pop up when you do something good or bad, etc.) it's probably more realistic than any of the previous entries. It is the first one I've listed, for instance, where you are required to hand off departures to center. Now, that consists of a mouse-click, instead of telling the pilot which facility and radio frequency to contact, but having to remember to hand off planes is one of the challenges of these sims, so having it in there is appreciated. And there are even (a few) arrival/departure routes. Not realistic ones, but they're there. So, there's a lot here, it's just simplified for the gaming crowd, but it's good fun. It's also $10. But you get four Hawaiian islands to play with. I think back fondly on my time with RCHE. Score: 7
ATCSimulator2
For many, many years, this was by far the most realistic simulator available. It's still in the top three. It's very old and outdated now, and a pain to use, and still RIFE with fucking bugs, but the main thing I think about when I think about ATCSimulator2 is what a fucking nasty, grumpy, hostile dickhead the developer is. I hadn't thought about the game for a few years, but for this article I wanted to refresh my memory, so I tried to download it again. My download links from when I bought it the last time (I've bought it TWICE over the years, because dickhead only allows you to install on a couple computers before he demands you re-buy it) don't work, so I sent him a question about getting a new download. My hopes that he'd softened over the years were quickly dashed. Here was his reply to me, a customer who has bought his overpriced ($45 now, was more before) pile of bugs TWICE:
Download access is only granted for a 7 day period once you order. If you your receipt is from 2012, that was 4 years ago. You are required to make a backup of the download file. But as of right now, downloads have been suspended. I am in the middle of the next update, which is a few weeks to a month away. It will be free to existing 3.5.0 users.
I know it was from four years ago, DICK. Jesus, this guy. Thankfully, this is no longer at the top of the heap, so I can issue a final FUCK YOU to this douche. Score: MINUS TEN BILLION
Tracon! 2012
Jesus. Well, this was the first one I ever played where I got voice recognition working, and really, if you get into these sims, VR is a must. It is just a fucking blast frantically rattling out descend, climb, runway clearances, radio handoffs, etc, while the little blips trot across the screen, hopefully not crashing into a mountain (NOTE: as realistic as this one is, terrain is, amazingly, not modeled, so you can fly everyone around in Vegas 1000 feet under the ground.) It is bugged as fuck, though, and the devs have basically abandoned it to move onto their next ATC Tower simulator. And of course, see the other thread for my tribulations and hysteria with the editor. Still, though, if you are looking for prime realism, and cannot afford ATC Pro (see below), it can be had for about $15-$20, and does stuff none of the others (except ATC Pro) can do. Feelings: MIXED. Score: 3 for customer satisfaction, 8 for realism.
ATC Pro
The only thing that sucks about this one is their SEO. You can Google "ATC Simulator" for days and never find their website. That's why I wasted all my time with the above pieces of shit. This one not only does everything right that the others don't, it also does way more stuff. It's $60. If you are interested in the topic, though, there is no other choice. I was bitching about picking game genres that have no real "great" entry. I was wrong. This is great. I'll talk more about it in a separate thread, if anyone's interested, which they are not. Score: 10, and thank flaming, crusty Jesus on a cannoli for that.

I don't know about you, but this was something that has come up in my life a lot and something I've had to do a lot of work around. It's something we talk about on the seed team a whole bunch that we couldn't put work out into the world and support you and walk alongside you on this journey if we were waiting until...

REBROADCAST - Boundaries with Kids
You're listening to Voices of Your Village. This is episode 155. In this episode, we are sharing a snapshot into the Tiny Humans Big Emotions course with you. This portion is all about boundaries. We get so many questions about what it looks like to set boundaries with kids, to hold them, what if they say no to both choices, what do you do? How do you structure boundaries so that you can be in collaboration with your kiddos, rather than in conflict. Before we dive in, I wanted to let you know about a free challenge that we're doing! We're doing a five day challenge; we heard from you loud and clear after our December workshop on re-parenting that...
Building Resiliency in Kids
You're listening to Voices of Your Village. This is episode 154 in this episode. Dr. Smita Malhotra, a pediatrician, and I got to dive into building resiliency in kiddos. What a year for building resiliency. I feel like we've all had so much practice over the last year and as we head into 2021 here, I want to look at how do we take challenges from "I didn't get the cup I wanted" or "I'm frustrated as I'm trying to do my schoolwork" to "I can't see my friends or go to school in the way that I used to", how do we take those things and navigate them and work through them and come out the other side resilient. Dr. Smita has a practice in California,...

151 - Gender norms and stereotypes with Dr. Nadine Thornhill
You're listening to Voices of Your Village, this is episode 151. I got to hang out with Dr. Nadine Thornhill to talk about gender norms and stereotypes and how these play out not just in the short term, not just in early childhood, but how it plays out in the long term in terms of how we show up in relationships how we show up at work etc. And what we can do to be supportive, and mindful as we are raising these tiny humans and getting to know who they are. So many of us have biases that we are bringing to the table that come from our social programming and our childhood that we can...
Talking to Kids About Death
You're listening to Voices of Your Village. This is episode 150. Today we're diving into how to talk to kids about death. We had a bunch of these questions coming up in our Facebook group, from animals to people and how to navigate this conversation. What's appropriate at different ages and stages So today, we're going to dive into that jazz. This is a topic that is often very heavy for adults and tends to not be as heavy for kids because they have a whole different social context around what death means both in the short-term and the long-term. You know, the long-term for us is totally different. Our cognitive function allows us to project and predict things down the road that we might...
Burnout in Parenthood with Anne Helen Peterson
Happy podcast Thursday and welcome to episode 149 of Voices of Your Village! For this interview I got to hangout with Anne Helen Petersen and she was a real delight to chat with. I had such a fun time, we dove into burnout in parenthood: what it really looks like, what is really at the center of it, and what does it look like to move forward through it?
"How do we move from the culture of burnout that so many of us are living in into something that looks more balanced?"
We talk about systemic issues that feed into burnout and we know that burnout is so high right now in this season where so many of us have had our villages striped away due to Covid. We talk...
An Alternative to Obedience
voices of your village Nov 19, 2020
Hello and welcome to episode 147 of Voices of Your Village! In today's episode we are diving into an alternative to obedience with Casey Meyers. I could have kept talking to Casey for hours, and after this interview Casey and I actually kept getting nerdy about child development with one another for an additional 45 minutes. In this episode we dive into how we were raised and how our social programming and biases come up for us when we go to respond to kid's big emotions, and how else we can navigate this outside of the obedience mindset.
This is so hard for so many of us because we are bringing a lot from our own childhood, or we might have certain expectations of...

The work we do as trusts and estates attorneys can alter the course of our clients' lives. But it's tempting to think of what we do as not being particularly important in the grand scheme of things. That's a mistake, says Terrence Franklin, a trusts and estates litigator in LA.
A few years ago Terry made a life-altering discovery about his family's history in antebellum Florida (involving a will contest, of course) that's evolved into a public mission for racial justice. I'm a big fan of Terry's work, and have written about it before. Terry recently gave a TED talk that was characteristically brilliant. Highly recommended.

George Vithoulkas' overall vision is the establishment of homeopathy on a worldwide basis. A major goal in this vision is the foundation of homeopathic medical colleges in the USA and Europe where homeopathy can be taught at the highest level.
George has graciously given us permission to publish a number of his articles that communicate the clinical success and homeopathic wisdom that have marked his career as a master homeopath.
"The attacks may be serving opportunism, vested interests or even the hatred of those opposed to homeopathy," writes Vithoulkas. "However if we are honest, we must accept that they also draw ammunition from the ranks of homeopathy because of irresponsibility on our part."
Is Hahnemannian Homeopathy Doomed to go into Oblivion Again?
Unfortunately many students of homeopathy are receptive to the myths and stories concocted by flights of wild imagination, and many so-called teachers have risen to fill this gap.
Sometimes important symptoms can be hidden which represent the center of the case. Once put into the language of the repertory they become strong, unusual and clear symptoms that will help to find the correct remedy.
Learn how master homeopath George Vithoulkas views the complexities of repertorization and the skills necessary to find the simillimum.
George Vithoulkas shares his succesful approach on when to disregard the computer, and some useful questions to ask yourself while taking a case.
A repertorization method more valuable than flat repertorization because it matches the topographical and qualitative nature of your patient to the topographical and qualitative nature of the Repertory. Goes far beyond flat repertorization strategies by mimicking the way an experienced homeopath thinks.
Considerations when taking the case that allow you to maximize the effectiveness and strengths of the Vithoulkas Expert System.

All-Female DC Villains Movie 'Gotham City Sirens'
December 14, 2016 Media Release
Robbie will reprise her role as DC villainess Harley Quinn. David Ayer is back in the business of DC comic villains.
The filmmaker, who directed Warner Bros.' all-bad guy comic book movie Suicide Squad, is reuniting with that film's star, Margot Robbie, for Gotham City Sirens, a feature project that will showcase the top female villains from the DC stable, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
Ayer will direct and produce the project with Robbie reprising her role as Harley Quinn, the part-time girlfriend of the Joker who is currently DC's most popular female character. Robbie also is executive producing.
Sirens was a recent comic series from DC that focused on the popular villainesses from Batman's rogue gallery. Among them were Quinn; Catwoman, Batman's sometime love interest; and Poison Ivy, who uses plants and their toxins to get what she wants.
Geneva Robertson-Dworet, a top female writer in the action sphere who also has penned scripts for the Tomb Raider remake and Warners' own Sherlock Holmes 3, is writing the screenplay.
The heads of DC's film arm, Geoff Johns and Jon Berg, also will be involved in a producorial role.
Suicide Squad was a tough production and the movie underwent some reshoots, but it turned out fine for all parties involved as it grossed over $745.6 million globally. It is now the 13th highest-grossing superhero release of all time domestically and has surpassed the international box office of Deadpool, a movie to which it was often compared in terms of tone.
The studio is still developing a Suicide Squad sequel as well as looking into a spinoff featuring Deadshot, the assassin character played by Will Smith. But this project was the furthest along, and with Robbie's Quinn having received near universal praise for Squad, this was the most natural project for Ayer with which to make his Warners return. The filmmaker is currently nearing the end of principal photography for Bright, a fantasy thriller for Netflix that stars Will Smith and Joel Edgerton.
Warner Bros. doesn't have a release date for Sirens, but the project is now on the fast track.

Neidenfels is an Ortsgemeinde – a municipality belonging to a Verbandsgemeinde, a kind of collective municipality – in the Bad Dürkheim district in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.

Geography

Location
The municipality, a papermaking village in the middle of the Palatinate Forest, lies between Neustadt an der Weinstraße und Kaiserslautern. It belongs to the Verbandsgemeinde of Lambrecht, whose seat is in the like-named town.

History
Neidenfels came into being in the early 15th century in the protection of Niedenfels Castle, which sometime came to be called Neidenfels. The castle itself dated back to 1330 when it was built by Count Palatine Rudolf II.

Religion
In 2007, 41.8% of the inhabitants were Evangelical and 41.3% Catholic. The rest belonged to other faiths or adhered to none.

Politics

Town council
The council is made up of 12 council members, who were elected at the municipal election held on 7 June 2009, and the honorary mayor as chairman.

The municipal election held on 7 June 2009 yielded the following results:

Coat of arms
The German blazon reads: In Rot ein steinernes silbernes Haus in Vorderansicht mit Treppengiebel.

The municipality's arms might in English heraldic language be described thus: Gules a stone house gable affronty argent with a crow-stepped gable.

The arms were approved in 1971 by the now abolished Regierungsbezirk administration in Neustadt. The one charge is canting for an old noble family's name, Steinhausen von Neidenstein (Stein is "stone" in German and Haus is "house").

Culture and sightseeing

Buildings
Above the village stands Neidenfels Castle, a ruin from the 14th century. In the village itself is a papermill.

Near Neidenfels lies the Drachenfels rocky plateau, which can be reached from Neidenfels over hiking trails.

Economy and infrastructure

Transport
Stopping at Neidenfels railway station are RheinNeckar S-Bahn trains on the Saarbrücken–Mannheim line. Lines S1 and S2 afford direct links to Kaiserslautern in the west and Ludwigshafen, Mannheim and Heidelberg in the east. Public transport is integrated into the VRN, whose fares therefore apply.

WHEREAS, antisemitism has proven to be history's most pervasive, consistent, pernicious, destructive, and deadly form of bigotry and hatred; and
WHEREAS, law-enforcement data corroborate that Jews in America are far more frequently victimized by hate-crimes than all other religious minorities combined; and
WHEREAS, the United States of America has recently witnessed outbreaks of both deadly antisemitic violence and daily antisemitic harassment; and
WHEREAS, antisemites have long dehumanized and demonized Jews in word and in image; and
WHEREAS, antisemites invariably justify, excuse, and rationalize their hatred and violence by blaming their victims through claims of alleged grievances, all contrived, many fabricated, and all defamatory; and
WHEREAS, antisemitism invariably incorporates conspiracy theories holding Jews culpable for society's troubles; and
WHEREAS, antisemitism today hides increasingly behind irrational fabrications, double-standards, and other anti-Israel slanders and blood-libels, couched disingenuously as "legitimate criticism of Israel"; and
WHEREAS, such demonstrably illegitimate criticism of Israel, including intentionally inflammatory claims of apartheid and genocide and international Jewish or Zionist influence and control, has become part of the national discourse and is engendering dangerous antisemitic attitudes in the media, in academia, and in politics; and
WHEREAS, the United States Department of State under President Obama, and the United States Departments of Education and Justice under President Trump, have incorporated into American law and policy the International Holocaust Remembrance Association's definition (the "IHRA Definition") intended to distinguish dangerous antisemitic rhetoric from legitimate discourse; and
WHEREAS, rhetoric and social media messaging that clearly meet the standards set forth in the IHRA Definition continue to be promulgated by individuals who hold positions affiliated with both major parties at the state and local levels; and
WHEREAS, candidates embracing anti-Israel and antisemitic libels, agendas, affiliations, and associations that clearly meet the standards set forth in the IHRA Definition are now running for public office on major party lines; and
WHEREAS, the [Republican/Democratic] Party is deeply concerned by the growing acceptability of such antisemitic individuals and groups, and understands that some antisemitic individuals and groups nevertheless express support for, and at times claim affiliation with, both major political parties in the United States;
IT IS, THEREFORE RESOLVED that the [Republican/Democratic] Party will publicly and unequivocally repudiate and condemn antisemitic rhetoric as defined by the IHRA definition that emanates from any national, state, or local [Republican/Democratic] Party officials or entities, upon such rhetoric being brought to the attention of the Party;
IT IS, THEREFORE FURTHER RESOLVED that the [Republican/Democratic] Party will do all within its power to reject any and all individuals attempting to run as [Republicans/Democrats] who demonstrate a history of antisemitic rhetoric, political positions, associations, and affiliations as defined by the IHRA Definition;
IT IS, THEREFORE FURTHER RESOLVED that the [Republican/Democratic] Party will condemn and consider not a legitimate [Republican/Democrat] any such individual who, despite the Party's efforts, secures a place on the [Republican/Democratic] line, and will, in the event such a candidate emerges, publicly name and condemn the candidate, refuse support of any kind for their candidacy, and publicly urge voters to withhold support and votes for that candidate.

More Pinoy Households Watch ABS-CBN in August
Posted on September 6, 2011 by ABS-CBN // 23 Comments
ABS-CBN soars high on primetime TV.
More households in the Philippines tune in to ABS-CBN to be entertained and informed especially when TV levels peak at its highest during primetime from 6 PM to 12 midnight.
Data from Kantar Media showed that ABS-CBN remains to be the number one TV network with a national audience share of 43 percent in August primetime or a whopping 13-point lead over GMA's 30 percent.
Advertisers, which invest majority of their TV ad spending on primetime, look at the TV ratings and audience shares of programs and TV networks to place their TV commercials in order to reach more households as frequently and efficiently as possible.
ABS-CBN programs secured 13 out of the top 15 most-watched programs in the country, making it the top choice for advertisers to put their advertising budget.
The multi-awarded and longest running drama anthology in Asia "MMK" (33.7%) hosted by ABS-CBN President Charo Santos-Concio took the top spot followed by weekday top-rater "100 Days to Heaven" (31%) and the recently concluded top-caliber action-drama series "Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin" (30.9%).
"TV Patrol" also ruled all newscasts in the country and secured the sixth spot with an average national rating of 28.6% as compared to its rival "24 Oras" with only 19.5%.
Newly premiered programs "My Binondo Girl" (28%), "Junior Masterchef Pinoy Edition" (27.8%), and "Maria La Del Barrio" (22.6%) also fared well on its pilot airings and instantly rose to ranks of the monthly top 15.
Other Kapamilya programs in top 15 most-watched programs nationwide for August are "Pilipinas Got Talent (Sunday)" (29.5%), Pilipinas Got Talent (Saturday)" (28.6%), "Guns and Roses" (27%), "Rated K" (26.3%), "Mula sa Puso" (23.5%), and "Junior Masterchef Pinoy Edition: The Appetizer" (22.9).
ABS-CBN obtained a national TV audience share of 36% in August, higher than GMA's 35%.
Kantar Media has 22 TV networks, ad agencies, and pan-regional networks subscribing to its ratings services. Among its current subscribers are ABS-CBN, NBN, Sky Cable, J. Romero and Associates, Adformatix, Starcom, OMD, PhD, Mediacom, Mindshare, MEC, Maxus, Universal McCann, and Wellmade Manufacturing Corporation. They also include pan-regional networks likes CSM Media Inc., Fox International Channels, Star HK, Discovery, AXN, HBO, MTV, and Sony Pictures Television International.
ABS-CBN shifted to Kantar Media/TNS after filing a case vs. AGB Nielsen Media Research for failing to comply with its request to investigate alleged cheating and data tampering in TV ratings. The case is still pending in court.
ABS-CBN registered a consolidated net income of P976 million in the first three months of 2011, while GMA Network reported a P534 million net income in the same period.
ABS-CBN's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization or EBITDA hit P2.1 billion in the first quarter of 2011 while GMA Network's EBITDA was P926 million. ABS-CBN delivered consolidated revenues of P6.6 billion from advertising and consumer sales.

Well, all I can say is Kapamilya Network soars high amidst not-so-poor economy. I believe that the network can instill its lead all throughout the decade even in the future. Many have said, TV 5 will be a threat, so what's up now? Where are you people who have said this? GMA as well? Stop Willie! You're immature, greedy and USELESS. Nothing can ever beat ABS-CBN.

Tweets About Rex Tillerson & Trump Show People Are Over The Drama
By Yasaman Khorsandi
A new report came out on Wednesday, Oct. 4, claiming that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson called President Donald Trump a "moron" earlier this summer. Since then, there have been two press briefings with the Secretary of State himself and with the Department of State regarding the report. With much more pressing issues going on in the U.S. today, tweets about Tillerson and Trump show people are over the drama.
Here's the back story to the drama: The report, which came from reporters at NBC, claimed Tillerson called Trump a "moron" after a meeting at the Pentagon in July. (And NBC reporter Stephanie Ruhle now claims Tillerson called Trump a f*cking moron.") Around the same time, rumors were circulating that Tillerson wanted to leave the Trump administration because he had growing frustration with the leadership, according to CNN. NBC also reported that officials said Vice President Mike Pence and other top officials advised Tillerson on ways to ease frustrations with Trump and reportedly urged him to remain Secretary of State until at least the end of the year.
After the report was released on Oct. 4, Tillerson held a press briefing where he denied NBC's report about him wanting to leave his position. He referred to the report as "erroneous," and said that Vice President Pence never persuaded him to stay, "because I never considered leaving this post." With recent and consecutive resignations in the Trump administration, it seems believable that inside officials would do their best to keep more from resigning.
Tillerson went on to express his support for the Trump administration and for his duty to the American people when he said his "commitment to the success of our president and country is as strong as it was when I accepted his offer to serve as Secretary of State."
While he claimed the NBC report contained errors, he did not explicitly address a reporter's question about the term "moron" he allegedly used to describe Trump. Tillerson replied with, "I'm not gonna deal with petty stuff like that; this is what I don't understand about Washington."
Twitter took the reply, or lack thereof, as confirmation that Tillerson did call Trump a moron, which, if true, is something people do not seem mad about.
Just hours after Tillerson's initial press briefing, Heather Nauert, State Department spokeswoman, held a follow-up briefing on behalf of Tillerson, in which she explicitly denied Tillerson calling Trump a "moron."
In the briefing, Nauert said,
The secretary does not use that type of language during a press briefing. The secretary did not use that type of language to speak about the president of the United States. He does not use that language to speak about anyone.
She also said she spoke with Tillerson, who supposedly spoke with the president and confirmed the two were "all good." President Trump, while en route to Las Vegas on Wednesday, tweeted about NBC, calling them "#FakeNews." He later told reporters it "was a totally phony story," adding that he is "very honored by [Tillerson's] comments.
It's unclear whether Trump will say any more about his and Tillerson's relationship, considering they have had their differences on issues in the past. For instance, when Tillerson stated that the U.S. and North Korea were to be in direct contact on Sept. 30, Trump said on Twitter that he told Tillerson to "save his energy" because he was "wasting his time" on Oct. 1.
After the second press briefing from spokeswoman Nauert, people on Twitter are confused about the contradictions from both statements this morning — and, more importantly, confused as to why we are still talking about this drama when more pressing issues are at hand.
Our president went to Puerto Rico on Tuesday, Oct. 3, to meet with Hurricane Maria survivors, and he is in Las Vegas, Nevada on Wednesday meeting with first responders and families of victims from the Sunday night shooting. And what are we talking about in Washington D.C.? New drama with the Trump administration and the word "moron."

Marco Rubio (Reuters/Yuri Gripas)
A huge victory for GOP's "whites-only" coalition
Immigration reform's failure didn't just sink Rubio's political ambitions, it sank the idea of a multicultural GOP
Check out this article! https://www.salon.com/2013/10/29/rubios_immigration_defeat_a_huge_victory_for_gops_whites_only_coalition/
Now and again, Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., must ask himself whether the GOP's promiscuous flirtation with comprehensive immigration reform was part of an elaborate plan to trick him into sabotaging his own chances of winning the GOP presidential nomination in 2016.
After last year's election, top GOP leaders including the speaker of the House and the chairman of the Republican National Committee were crystal clear that the party's big adjustment would be to broaden its appeal to Latino voters by embracing immigration reform. Rubio took them at their word, and as part of an implicit quid pro quo offered to make himself the face of the party's new commitment. He would lend the effort his ethnic heritage and conservative bona fides. In return, they wouldn't hang him out to dry. He'd help them neutralize immigration reform as a flashpoint issue on the right, they'd give him a legacy issue lasting enough to carry him to the presidency.
That oversimplifies things a bit, but it underscores the fact that Rubio's incentives were shaped in part by a belief that the party's interest in the project wasn't fleeting or feigned.
But shortly after Rubio helped marshal a comprehensive, bipartisan bill through the Senate, John Boehner effectively handed the entire House agenda to the Tea Party, and in so doing torpedoed the reform consensus, including the Senate's legislation, altogether.
Suddenly Rubio's reputation as a redemptive leader was overtaken by something much less flattering -- a turncoat who tried to swindle the GOP into supporting amnesty for self-interested reasons. The damage to Rubio's standing on the right was so severe, you'd think Boehner was working in cahoots with Ted Cruz to neuter the Texas senator's competition, except -- well, we know that's not true.
The irony is that Boehner remains the only person in all of Washington with both the power and the desire to clean up his own mess. He still says immigration reform is a key Republican priority. And if he put Rubio's bill, or another, similar bill, on the House floor it would probably pass with the help of overwhelming Democratic support.
But Boehner's overcommitted himself. He can't do that without violating his commitment to block any immigration bills that don't enjoy the support of a majority of House Republicans. So Rubio's best-laid plans are dead. This weekend, in a testament to his passage through the stages of grief, he threw his support to House GOP leaders, who want to pass piecemeal immigration bills, then limit any House-Senate negotiations to the terms of those bills. That means no pathway to citizenship, and it probably means no reforms of any kind.
Rubio, of course, blames all of this on President Obama.
My colleague Joan Walsh has written more on Rubio's decision vis-à-vis Rubio's own ambitions and his ongoing effort to rehabilitate his reputation on the right.
I want to explore what his latest move means for Boehner and the party at large.
[embedtweet id="394907027991846912"]
Any time momentum is building for anything in the House, it's worth asking if it's pointed anywhere other than the abyss of Republican incompetence. Can Boehner pass more than one or two draconian, enforcement-oriented immigration bills without help from Democrats? Will Democrats help him pass less controversial piecemeal bills if Republicans are truly foreclosing on comprehensive reform?
Now that immigration reform is in Boehner's hands, it's easy to imagine him and his conference flubbing even the modest task of passing a conservative position. Does Boehner really want the GOP's answer to the Senate's bill, including its pathway to citizenship, to be a narrow plan to militarize the border? Can he he even get that through the House? What affirmative steps can he take to distinguish the party's position on immigration from Mitt Romney's call for incentivizing immigrants to self-deport?
If Boehner can't make any progress on his own, conservative reform advocates will have one last opportunity to press him to partner with Democrats, even if it means abandoning the Hastert rule yet again.
But this is a highly optimistic scenario. The conservative reformers I spoke with on Monday don't think that's what's happening. At this point, they see it as a question of whether Democrats will sign on to help Republicans pass something truly marginal or whether nothing will pass at all.
The result in either case will be the consequence of Boehner's decision to let conservative hard-liners kill comprehensive reform. Some of these members are motivated more by spite than by the sum of their concern for the national welfare, the interests of their constituents, and their own partisan allegiances. Others oppose reform more earnestly. But together they comprise a faction that's pulling the Republican Party in a whites-only direction. Rubio's latest move suggests they've won the tug of war.

Le isole che oggi formano l'odierna Repubblica delle Kiribati vennero colonizzate da popolazioni oceaniche (che sono tuttora la stragrande maggioranza sulle isole) e vennero successivamente visitate da ulteriori invasori polinesiani e melanesiani alcuni secoli prima che i navigatori europei scoprissero le isole nel XVI secolo. Per gran parte del periodo successivo i principali arcipelaghi (di cui le Isole Gilbert) fecero parte dell'Impero britannico. Il paese ottenne l'indipendenza nel 1979 e da allora è conosciuto con il nome delle Kiribati.

Preistoria
Gli I-Kiribati (patrionimico piuttosto recente) o le popolazioni gilbertesi si insediarono in quelle che sarebbe divenute le Isole Gilbert (nome in onore del capitano britannico Thomas Gilbert) nel periodo che va tra il 3000 a.C. e il 1300 d.C.

Le successive invasioni delle popolazioni samoane e tongane introdussero alcuni elementi della cultura polinesiana, mentre le invasioni delle popolazioni figiane introdussero elementi della cultura cosiddetta melanesiana. Con i secoli ci fu un discreto mescolamento, tanto da dare una cultura sufficientemente omogenea, sia nella lingua sia nelle tradizioni.

L'epoca coloniale
Il contatto europeo avvenne nel XVI secolo, con Hernando de Grijalva che incontra Nonouti nel 1537, ma soprattutto nel XIX secolo. Cacciatori di balene, mercanti di schiavi, e navi mercantili arrivarono in gran numero solo nel XIX secolo, e il conseguente sconvolgimento contribuì a fomentare conflitti locali e introdussero nuove malattie che si rivelarono micidiali per le popolazioni native. Nel tentativo di ripristinare un certo ordine, nell'ambito di un accordo anglo-tedesco di spartizione, le isole Gilbert e le vicine isole Ellice (ora Tuvalu) divennero protettorato britannico (delle Isole Gilbert ed Ellice) nel 1892. La vicina Banaba (Ocean Island) venne annessa nel 1901 dopo la scoperta un anno prima di Albert Fuller Ellis di ricchi depositi di fosfato e guano.

L'intero arcipelago, più le isole Fanning e Washington (parte della Sporadi equatoriali), divennero colonia britannica nel 1916 come parte dei Territori britannici del Pacifico occidentale (la cui creazione risaliva al 1877 e governati da un unico Alto Commissario). Rimase tale fino al 1971. L'isola Christmas (1919), le isole dell'Unione (1925) e le isole della Fenice (1937) vennero incorporate prima della seconda guerra mondiale.

Il Giappone invase parte delle isole Gilbert e Ocean Island durante la seconda guerra mondiale. Nel novembre 1943 le forze alleate fecero un'offensiva contro le posizioni giapponesi nell'atollo di Tarawa nelle isole Gilbert, e si rilevò fra i più sanguinosi combattimenti della campagna del Pacifico. La battaglia fu un importante punto di svolta nella guerra in favore degli Alleati.

L'autodeterminazione
Il Regno Unito favorì l'autogoverno nelle isole durante gli anni sessanta. Nel 1975 le Isole Ellice si separarono dalla colonia e formarono poco dopo lo stato indipendente di Tuvalu (1978). Le isole Gilbert ottennero un auto-governo nel 1971 ed elezioni generali nel febbraio 1978, che vide Ieremia Tabai eletto come Primo Ministro (Chief Minister) e poi Presidente della Repubblica a soli 27 anni.

Le isole formalmente divennero uno stato indipendente il 12 luglio 1979 sotto il nome delle Kiribati.

Boosting exports: Standards matter more than schemes >
Boosting exports: Standards matter more than schemes
Boosting exports: Standards matter more than schemes.
Subject: Boosting exports: Standards matter more than schemes
Finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman's announcement of a slew of measures to boost exports has come at a time when the sector seems to have lost its way. Since the beginning of the decade, exports have grown at an annual average of just 4%, which includes a slump of over 15% in 2015-16. The recovery, since then, has been patchy, and in the previous fiscal, exports grew by an unsatisfactory 8%. In the first five months of the current fiscal, exports have declined by nearly 2% on a year-on-year basis. With the prospects of the global economy looking gloomy, Indian exporters may face serious headwinds going forward.
The finance minister's announcement, thus, holds out some hope for the struggling export business. The measures are aimed at partly reworking the export incentives regime, introducing export facilitation measures, and providing a roadmap to address the critical issue of conformity of product and process standards in international markets.
India's export incentives regime came into focus after India was barred from using them by the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures (ASCM) of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), after the country's per capita GNP exceeded $1,000. India continued to use its subsides, like the Merchandise Exports from India Scheme (MEIS), arguing that the ASCM allowed a transition period of eight years to developing countries to remove export subsidies. However, the United States has challenged India's arguments regarding the use of these export incentives before a WTO dispute settlement panel.
The finance minister has announced a new export incentives scheme, Remission of Duties or Taxes on Export Product (RoDTEP), which will replace MEIS. The announcement says that the scheme will "more than adequately incentivise exporters than existing schemes put together". The minister has also indicated that the revenue foregone for implementing RoDTEP would be Rs 50,000 crore.
Whether this new scheme will be consistent with the provisions of the ASCM is a moot point. This is because the definition of subsidies that WTO members are not allowed to use, the so-called "prohibited subsidies", are subsides that are "contingent, in law or in fact, whether solely or as one of several other conditions, upon export performance". An example of such "prohibitive subsidies" given in the ASCM is "exemption or remission, in respect of the production and distribution of exported products, of indirect taxes in excess of those levied in respect of the production and distribution of like products when sold for domestic consumption". The provision becomes effective if a product receives incentives when it is exported, and doesn't when it is marketed in the domestic market; in other words, exported products are preferred over domestically marketed products for the grant of incentives. Thus, RoDTEP can also be challenged in the dispute settlement body of the WTO, as MEIS has been.
There are similar concerns about the Interest Equalisation Scheme (IES) on pre- and post- shipment rupee export credit, providing interest equalisation at 3% to exporters on 416 products, and for all micro, small and medium enterprise (MSME) exporters. The Export Promotion Council of India (EEPC) had given a useful suggestion that IES should be made available to the entire MSME sector, so that the export linkage of the scheme is done away with, thus making it compatible with the provisions of the ASCM.
However, the good news for India is that WTO will be unable to force India to comply with its commitments, should the dispute settlement panel in the on-going dispute with the United States rule that India is in violation of the ASCM by granting export incentives. This is because the Appellate Body of WTO's dispute settlement body, which enforces the decisions on WTO members, will become dysfunctional from December 11, 2019.
While the government could safely provide export incentives without the encumbrances of the WTO for the reasons stated above, there is a need for an in-depth assessment as to whether export promotion schemes are justified. This is needed for two reasons: One, export incentives have been in place for a very long time, but India's export performance has remained an area of concern. Two, the revenues of the central government are under considerable stress, and, therefore, the benefits of the revenue foregone on export incentives need greater scrutiny now.
Improving performance of the ports for reducing transactions cost has been on the agenda of successive governments for at least two decades. The critical aspect, here, is investments for port modernisation, including the timely implementation of the Sagarmala project. By doing so, export business would get the intended boost.
The finance minister's announcement has possibly flagged the most critical area for exports, namely, compliance with standards. Market access barriers have shifted from the conventional instrument of tariffs to standards compliance, and this has hurt Indian exporters. The inability of domestic producers to meet the exacting standards in international markets is a well-established fact. The finance minister has proposed a roadmap for the adoption and enforcement of standards, which seems to be the way forward. It may, however, be pointed out that the issue of standards has been discussed by the Department of Commerce on several occasions in the past. The critical issue now is to examine the non-implementation of past recommendations, in particular, the institutional and other bottlenecks.
Standards must be enforced in every sector, and, therefore, the finance minister's focus on only the engineering sector is somewhat inadequate. This appears more so because exports of agricultural, and agro-processed products are among the worst performing in terms of standards compliance. Late last year, the government announced the Agriculture Export Policy, in which it was admitted the country was unable to export its vast horticultural produce due to lack of uniformity in quality and standardisation, among others reasons. The potential that India has in improving its exports of agricultural products has long been recognised. Critical support from the government will help realise this potential.

When it comes to choosing a video production company to work with, not all are created equal. While doing your research, you'll find there are three distinct types of businesses in the industry – Freelancers, Boutique Firms and Commercial Companies. Depending on your specific needs and budget, one may be a better fit over another. What's the difference between them? Keep reading to find out!
If you have a small budget or project that needs to be done, a freelancer may be an option to consider. Since they typically work for themselves, they have little to no overhead to worry about. What this means is that they are able to pass those savings onto their clients. On the flipside, a freelancer doesn't have a hired team to help them with projects so they are only able to take on what they have time for.
Another consideration with a freelancer is their experience and skills. This can range greatly from someone who has all the skills and knowledge from years of being in the business, to someone who is just starting out and trying to build their portfolio. When it comes to skills and experience, you'll also want to make sure that they have the ability to produce a video for business purposes, not personal enjoyment.
Lastly, they may not have access to the equipment needed to meet your needs, especially if they are just getting started.
Projects that would work well for a freelancer: Social media videos, short informative interviews and demonstration videos.
This is where Tabrizi Productions stands in the mix. Boutique firms are a great option for businesses who are budget conscious and have a wide range of video needs. With this type of video production company you still get personalized one-on-one interaction like you would with a freelancer, but they have a team to back them up and help you reach your business video goals.
Boutique firms also usually have access to better equipment and have the skills to use it. Most have years in the field or corporate setting (like me!) so they are able to anticipate needs and determine the best solutions to make your video dream a reality. It is also easier to find a company in this level who are able to produce a wide range of projects for business - from training to videos welcoming guests to your website.
Because they have the equipment, skills and a team to work with, they have higher overheard costs compared to freelancers. This translates into a higher cost, but it also means that the final product is also likely to be better than someone who is doing all on their own with less equipment.
Projects that would work well for a boutique firm: Same as a freelancer, plus training and onboarding videos, website videos, other web-based videos.
Many commercial video production companies have been around for 20-30 years and were started when it was more expensive and difficult to produce videos. Typically, they work on a larger scale with much larger brands than a freelancer or boutique firm, producing commercials and high visibility pieces.
With their expansive teams, equipment and types of video they produce, these companies are much more expensive than the other two options, frequently working on a retainer basis.
While you probably won't need to vet the skills of a company of this size, you will still want to check to see if they have experience in your industry and if they can answer your other questions to see if they are the right fit for your business and the money you will be spending.
Projects that work well for commercial companies: Television commercials as well as internal and external business videos.
Considering your needs and how much you are able to spend will help you in the decision making process. But don't forget to do your homework with any potential video producers you're thinking about hiring. Want to know if Tabrizi Productions can meet your needs and budget? Contact me today to find out!

Q: Java-Creating tile map gif I am trying to figure out how I can take a given image file(JPG, GIF, etc) and cut a certain part of it out and then creating an image in my program and the pasting the part that was cut out column by column and row by row in a repeating format. I basically want to create a game "map" image from tiles.

A: You can use Java's BufferedImage class to load and split up the image.
To load the image you can use:
try {
    BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(new File("path_to_file.ext"));
} catch (IOException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

Then you can use the sub image method to divide up the image:
BufferedImage square1 = image.getSubimage(x, y, width, height);

For more info on the BufferedImage class you can check Here
You can also check Here for more information on using ImageIO to load images.

Social media marketing may be helping consumers find and research financial advisers but in the age of digital media, an online presence is just a ticket to the game, according to Hans Egger, director of Astute Wealth Advice, creators of the AstuteWheel.
Each time consumers 'touch' the adviser, the adviser's process or the advice business they make decisions about whether or not to proceed, according to Mr Egger. "If the adviser's blog, tweets, website or social media accounts don't resonate with people then they can very easily move on – and often do," he says.
What is my experience with this financial planning practice going to be like?
Will it be an easy process?
How much value can you add to my financial situation initially, and ongoing?
Can I find answers to all these questions before I make actual contact with you so that I can make a decision about whether or not to engage you?


The forests that our timbers are harvested from are truly special to us, and the entire planet as a whole. They are the lungs of our world, providing the crucial exchange of carbon dioxide into oxygen. They provide food, shelter, and protection for innumerable species, including us. As a company, we strive to obtain our timbers from those that have a stake in the environment as much as their own business, making sure that they are respecting the earth and the communities that live within and near our forests and beyond. We also applaud those that have found a use for "unwanted" urban timber, using this resource for other means instead of having these trees destined for the landfill.
The McLeod Creek Timber Frame Company actively encourages any form of alternative construction, especially if it is both feasible and affordable for you. There are many fantastic ideas and methods that are being employed in the US and Europe for the last few decades. Some examples include European-style ICFs, wood fiber insulation, and straw bale wall systems. It would be fantastic to start using some of these products here beginning with you!
With new methods of construction come challenges to both owners and builders alike with regards to local and national building codes. One issue that the McLeod Creek Timber Frame Company feels is of utmost importance revolves around the "building envelope" and "building breathability" which looks into the necessities of building air/vapor barriers. There is a great deal of scientifically proven evidence that natural systems work great for both you and the environment. Also, there is a wealth of construction details that will make both you and building authorities satisfied that your project will not only be approved but provide you with a healthy, sustainable home for not only your lifetime but for generations to come.
For our part at our shop, we are thinking of measures on how to recycle our waste by-products as much as possible. We use the small timber end cuts to heat our shop during the heating season with our wall mounted fireplace – the shop feline team loves it! Our shop is in the heart of agricultural land, and we have a variety of farms nearby, thus enabling us to recycle shavings in the form of bedding for chickens and other livestock. What is too small or fine to reuse, we burn and then spread the ashes as fertilizer on our vegetable garden, or on our neighbour's field.
Finally, as part of our commitment to you, sustainable building practices and the environment, we will plant some seedlings each year in the areas where timbers are harvested within British Columbia and Alberta. This will be calculated as to how much volume (board footage) one average tree of the species you are using is in relation to the total volume of wood in your project.

ADIMET Series products have been designed to act as high efficiency precipitating metals agents. The ADIMET Series precipitates metals, such as copper, nickel, zinc, chromium, cadmium, silver, lead, iron and mercury, through chelating and complexing processes. These products provide a proper precipitation of the contaminating metals from wastewater. The ADIMET products are applied when conventional physicochemical treatments, like formation of metallic hydroxides, are not able to remove the metals present in the wastewater. They are often used in the industrial wastewater treatment plants of diverse sectors with high concentration of metals as metal-mechanical industry or metal mining, among others.
ADIMET Series products are used in order to efficiently precipitate multivalent metal ions in wastewater (copper, nickel, zinc, chromium, cadmium, silver, lead, iron or mercury) through chelating and complexing processes.
The liquid product can be applied directly to the wastewater or previously diluted. In both cases, the complexing/chelating efficiency is similar. It is highly recommended the later dosage of a polyacrylamide based flocculant in order to improve the floc formation.
In order to determine the efficiency of metal pollutants removal, an equipment of analytical testing at laboratory scale is required. This system should be capable of determining the concentration (ppm) of problematic metal ions present in the wastewater and compare it with the concentration in treated water. Additionally, the redox potential is a control agent indicating the residual portion of the product, compared to the initial dose used.
The products of ADIMET Series present a partially stoichiometric reaction with soluble heavy metals in a wide range of pH and temperature. Quelating activity is based on the presence of a sulfur derivative, dithiocarbamates, and the synergy with other organic additives included in the product.
For that reason, both chemical processes must be taken into account and the removal efficiency of multivalent metallic ions is very high. Additionally, ADIMET Series products generate a smaller volume of sludge easily dewatering.
ADIMET Series products form an insoluble precipitate with multivalent metals, both complexed and chelated. This precipitate can be removed by filtration to management or recovery.
Sludge removal is an important factor to take into account in precipitating metals from wastewater. These products produce lower sludge weight and much smaller volume than the standard treatments with hydroxide or sulfide precipitation. Thus, the costs derived from sludge management are considerably reduced.
Because of its removal efficiency in a wide range of pH and temperature, the ADIMET Series products entail cost benefits associated with the doses and types of chemicals used, ensuring proper treatment of wastewater and avoiding possible additional management costs.

The nation's leading incentive fulfillment companies, representing the top brands in the incentive business, have joined forces with Solata Technologies, Incentive, Sales & Marketing Management and Motivation Strategies magazines to form CorporateRewardsExchange.com (CRE), a cooperative effort to help incentive planners and rewards & recognition companies – and all corporate reward stakeholders – improve the efficiency, service and economies of their motivation and engagement programs.
Founding incentive fulfillment companies for the Universal Points Platform (UPP) are: Certif-A-Gift, Harco, Lapine, Partners for Incentives, Rewards Direct by Maritz, Rymax Marketing Services and Quality Incentive Company. All are leaders in providing branded rewards, gifts and incentives at wholesale prices for corporate use, specializing in providing world-class customization and delivery to recipients to maximize the reward experience. More incentive fulfillment companies will be joining the UPP program shortly.
Rewards Direct by Maritz is the founding sponsor of CRE's Corporate Gift Store, and it will support the efforts of 50 leading brands to set up storefronts on The Corporate Store site, enabling qualified companies to buy brands in bulk for reward, recognition and gift programs. Other sponsors and leading brands will be announced shortly.
By improving the efficiencies and reward experience of incentive and recognition programs, CorporateRewardsExchange.com not only improves service at reduced costs, but also makes it possible for incentive companies and marketing services firms to handle smaller volume programs that often aren't profitable under the traditional model. CRE significantly improves those economics by providing a Web-based application that makes it easy to set up programs incorporating products available on a real-time basis from multiple vendors selectively chosen by an organization for each program.
Enterprise Engagement – the integrated efforts of an organization to engage its employees, channel partners and customers with its brand promise – is poised to become a leading business and performance strategy in the coming years. In response to this emerging trend, a unique joint effort was recently announced by three leading organizations in the fields of human capital, business strategy and marketing.
The Human Capital Institute, Peppers & Rogers Group and Selling Communications, Inc. have formed the Enterprise Engagement Alliance (EEA) to foster greater dialog and cross-fertilization between marketing, sales, human resources and operations that will help organizations profit from the processes needed to engage employees, customers and channel partners in a profitable way.
The founding members have already started the ball rolling. Selling Communications has organized an annual worldwide conference on Enterprise Engagement in New York City for May of 2009, as well as promoting and disseminating content developed by the Human Capital Institute and Peppers & Rogers Group through its own sales and marketing properties. The goal of the conference will be to bring together executives from the disciplines of sales, marketing and human resources under one roof to participate in a unique dialog and learn how organizations can best link external and internal marketing and communications initiatives to maximize customer satisfaction, message alignment and resource efficacy.
The EEA hopes to expand its membership as more organizations become aware of the importance of Enterprise Engagement – the Incentive Research Foundation recently announced its intention to join the EEA – and the broad spectrum of issues that are a part of it, including leadership, communications, motivation, meetings, training, rewards and recognition.
The Incentive Research Foundation (IRF) has named Selling Communications, Inc. its marketing agency of record for its strategic outreach initiatives, including message development, publicity, marketing communications and website management. The IRF is one of the nation's leading not-for-profit organizations dedicated to advancing the science of motivation and incentives in business and industry.
An Industry Leadership Council (ILC) consisting of leading brands and incentive companies has been formed to provide recommendations and insight to the Incentive Federation related to its research, legislative and research activities. The ILC is an outgrowth of a special Outreach Task Force meeting of leading incentive companies and brands held last year under the auspices of the Incentive Federation and hosted by the New York Incentive, Rewards & Recognition Show. The ILC will be chaired by Rodger Stotz, Vice President, Managing Consultant, Maritz Inc. and consist of companies that attended the Task Force meeting and other industry participants who wish to get involved and join the Federation.
The Industry Leadership Council consists of the leading incentive companies, fulfillment companies and both branded and nonbranded manufacturers that are active in the incentive field to assist with the development of messaging and significant new outreach activities being planned by the Incentive Federation and by the Incentive Performance Center (IPC). These activities include assisting in the support of outreach and research specifically related to the role of rewards, recognition and promotional products in business engagement and the establishment of joint ventures with other organizations interested in the nation's new emphasis on engagement in business.
Facilitate the rapid action necessary to take advantage of significant opportunities for the use of non-cash rewards and promotional products in the growing effort by businesses to target and engage their most valuable people, from customers and channel partners to salespeople and employees.
Avanti Meetings & Incentives, owner and operator of Meeting Place Mexico and Meeting Place Caribbean, has signed an agreement with I&MI Media to pool their resources to promote Mexico and Latin America to the readers of I&MI Media publications, continuing to expand awareness of these destinations.
The agreement was signed by Fernando Compeán, President of Avanti Meetings & Incentives, and Bill LaViolette, Managing Director of I&MI Media, accompanied by Oscar Fitch, Director of the Mexico Tourism Board, Eduardo Chaillo, Director for North America of the Mexico Tourism Board and Gaston Ramos, Director of the Mexico CVB.
LaViolette views the fast-growing Mexican and Latin American markets with intense interest, given the business potential of its expanding infrastructure for the international meetings and incentives markets. "After several years of monitoring our readers' actual booking activity in these regions and their interest in placing future MICE programs there, it's very clear how important these regions have become," he says.
Meeting Place Mexico and Meeting Place Caribbean are well known for an increasingly expanded program providing education, networking opportunities and high quality attendees twice a year in two strategic locations.
The Incentive Research Foundation (IRF) has announced that its 16th Annual Incentive Invitational will be held in Palm Springs, CA, May 13-17, 2009, headquartered at the Westin Mission Hills Resort & Spa. The Incentive Invitational is known for bringing together top incentive buyers and corporate decision makers, along with incentive professionals from leading travel organizations around the world, for a host of business networking events and educational seminars. Sponsored by members of Palm Springs Desert Resorts, the IRF Invitational is the foremost fundraising event for incentive industry research. The 2008 Invitational, held this past May in Nassau/Paradise Island, Bahamas at the Atlantis Resort, played host to a record-setting crowd of more than 400 guests.
In addition to the Westin Mission Hills Resort & Spa, co-hosts include the Desert Springs, JW Marriott Resort & Spa, the Renaissance Esmeralda Resort & Spa, La Quinta Resort & Club, Palm Springs Desert Resort Communities Convention & Visitors Authority, ACCESS Destination Services, Desert Adventures Jeep Eco-Tours & Special Events, Destinations by Marriott and other Palm Springs area organizations.
Maritz Loyalty Marketing has announced an alliance with Travelocity that allows loyalty program members to redeem points for the purchase of flights with no blackout dates or restrictions.

1. Certain it is that with Shelly goodness is ever near to sensuous beauty and passes easily into passion. Hence his choice of heroic type rather than simple ones of laon and Cythna and prometheus rather than Michael, Mathew etc. Laon Cythna possess youth, strength and beauty no less than courage and instinct for self-sacrifice and their passion for freedom. A further admirable instance of this harmony of goodness and beauty is seen in the description of Lady Beneficient who tended the garden of "The Sensitive Plant."
नई कल्पित बातों का बराबर आरोप करते हैं, पर वे बातें उन पात्रों के चिर प्रतिष्ठित आदर्शों के मेल में होती हैं। केवल अपने समय की परिस्थिति विशेष को लेकर जो भावनाएँ उठती हैं उनके आश्रय के लिए जब नए आख्यानों और नए पात्रों की उद्भावना स्वच्छंदतापूर्वक की जा सकती है, तब पुराने आदर्शों को विकृत या खंडित करने की क्या आवश्यकता है?
