The colors are all very wearable, everyday colors, great for a natural look. Some of them aren't very pigmented - they go on sheer, but the color is buildable. The texture is smooth, easy to smudge and stays put once it sets. They are quite forgiving to mistakes and take a while to completely set, giving you time to smudge the color out. Absolute Black, Lasting Brown and Non-Stop Navy were the most pigmented, Absolute Black being a softer black, just a tad richer and deeper than Lasting Brown. I don't have the best luck with longwear liners on my waterline, but these ones don't bother my sensitive eyes. I've worn them on my waterline with absolutely no reaction or sensitivities, which is a huge plus for me. These aren't as creamy and pigmented as the Round The Clock liners by bareMinerals, but they also don't smudge as much. Infinite Sage and Eternal Bronze are both gorgeous colors, although I wish they were a tad more pigmented. Overall, its a nice collection, perfect for someone who likes subtle shades as opposed to brighter or shimmery liners. Absolute Black is my favorite, and a lovely soft black to try, especially for the waterline.
Have you tried any of the Lasting Line Long-Wear Eyeliners by bareMinerals?

If you haven't considered making a wildlife landscaping, it's a right time to start one. Wildlife doesn't only looks great aesthetically but it also has several other benefits. In this article gives you a basic idea about the topic and how to start one.
Though the requirements for raising a particular wildlife is very animal specific; all the wildlife have basically three needs viz. Food, Water, and Shelter. Before choosing to raise a wildlife landscape, make sure the place has all the required ingredients.
It is good for recreational purposes.
It reduces cooking and electricity bills by conserving energy and provide shade.
last but not the least it provides an amazing educational experience.
Firstly, choose native trees and plants. They are suitable for your climate and have a lesser chance of succumbing to drought or diseases.
Next find out about the ideal growing conditions of these species like nutrient requirements, sunlight exposure, watering frequencies, etc.
Before planting trees, consider this; the birds and small animals take tender leaves, fruit pulps, bugs, beetles, flies as their food. So, you should choose a plant that can sustain their need throughout seasons.
Flowering plants attract butterflies and bee population (check out my article planting for bees for details on this subject).
Place some feeders and nest boxes to provide further assistance to the animals. One of the main problems you might incur is that you have to find different kinds of food to different kinds of species.
Though sounds challenging it might be one of the interesting parts of raising a wildlife landscape. Don't forget to clean the feeders regularly with water and some form of disinfectant.
Making a landscape full of wildlife is not only about the food it also concerns shelter. Making a brush pile is a great way to attract birds, small mammals, to your backyard. They visit in search of insects who love to stay in these piles. But this also invites snakes; so think carefully before implementing one.
Big tree cavities are also a favorite place for many animals. Woodpeckers, raccoons, owls, etc. love to build nests in those places.
Water is an essential ingredient of wildlife habitat. It not only quenches the thirst of animals it also provides refreshment and sometimes a source of food depending upon the type of animal.
Animals such as a raccoon or kingfisher depend largely on water for their source of food. If you are planning to have a wildlife landscape you have to provide an arrangement for the water.
Now, you can provide simple structures like a birdbath or maybe a small pond. Whatever is your choice you need to keep some points in mind.
You must build the water source in a place where some kind of shade is available for at least some part of the day. It will keep the water cool and the evaporation rate will be lesser. Don't allow the water to get stagnant it should be clean and cool.
If you are planning to build a birdbath, make sure to keep it higher from the ground (at least 3.5ft) so that cats can't reach there.
Make the area around your backyard attractive and much more interesting. Don't get limited in your efforts to raise a wildlife and help in conserving the natural habitat for many wild animals.
Landscaping is an important part of creating a long-lasting aesthetic look for your garden. Be creative and try to make your unique blend. You can get some really cool idea about landscaping here.

Rich Coffee for Health-Conscious Connoisseurs
September 7, 2018 September 7, 2018 cbd, CBD coffee, Strava Craft Coffee
Coffee has made incredible leaps forward in the past few decades from a plain "cup of Joe" in the past, to an artisanal culture of quality and innovation. Now, the legal cannabis market has paved the path for even further enhancements for coffee enthusiasts.
Coffee companies now combine the health benefits of cannabidiol (CBD), the non-psychoactive chemical that occurs naturally in cannabis, with the rich flavor and lavish experience of small batch, craft-roasted coffee.
An example of this comes from Strava Craft Coffee, a company established in 2015 by coffee lovers who wanted to bring the healthy combination of coffee and CBD to their home in Denver. The company roasts small-batch specialty coffee and infuses it with full – spectrum hemp oil, providing a new experience for coffee lovers.
That experience can range from feeling alert, calm and focused to meaningful relief from anxiety, inflammation and pain.
Health Benefits of CBD
CBD offers many medical benefits, some of which are just now being studied. But for many, it's already become part of their regular health routine because of how immediate the benefits can be.
Athletes and those who work out routinely have espoused the benefits of CBD. The annual 420 Games have become a proponent of CBD products, as have athletes such as UFC fighter Chris Camozzi.
Camozzi has said the CBD oil he uses provides relief from stress and strains. He also said he recovers faster from work and injuries – even quicker than he did as a younger man. His thoughts reflect those of other professional athletes, who have called on sports leagues to allow players to use CBD products as a potential replacement for opioids.
CBD and Wellness
The benefits of CBD go beyond helping manage the aches, pains and injuries that can happen to athletes or workout buffs. It's increasingly seen as part of an overall wellness routine for many.
Some espouse its use for battling anxiety and depression. Others use it to combat nausea and increase appetite. The potential uses at this point seem unlimited.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has taken the numerous studies and the potential uses of CBD seriously. They recently took the big step of advising officials worldwide that CBD should be taken off all illegal drug lists.
WHO is now studying the science on CBD to determine some of the best uses for the product. They already reported it seems to help with seizures in epileptic patients. It's also proven helpful to some women going through menopause.
Combining CBD With Coffee
Colorado-based Strava Craft Coffee has taken the benefits of CBD and combined it with the lavish flavor of craft-roasted coffee. Not only is the coffee delicious, but also the benefits of the CBD cannot be ignored:
For one thing, it might be the perfect hangover cure. Using CBD-infused coffee the morning after can eliminate nausea and provide relief from an aching head.
But it also can become part of routine that supports calmness, alertness and less anxiety in your day. Strava Craft Coffee has a variety of hemp oil-infused coffee bean roasts that create a variety of therapeutic effects.
They include Elevate, Restore, Focus, and Escape. They've done the work of finding the right beans, and the right does, of CBD to create the perfect cup.
CBD products continue to move into the mainstream as more people discover their benefits. Strava Craft Coffee offers an excellent example of how that is happening in ways that make access to the benefits of CBD easier than ever before – along with a great cup of coffee.

 * 在启动活动时传递数据的思路很简单,Intent 中提供了一系列 putExtra()方法的重载,可
 * 以把我们想要传递的数据暂存在 Intent 中,启动了另一个活动后,只需要把这些数据再从
 * Intent 中取出就可以了。比如说 FirstActivity 中有一个字符串,现在想把这个字符串传递到
 * SecondActivity 中,你就可以这样编写:
 * button1.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
 *      @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            String data = "Hello SecondActivity";
            Intent intent = new Intent(FirstActivity.this, SecondActivity.class);
            intent.putExtra("extra_data", data);
            startActivity(intent);
        }
 *   });
 *
 *  这里我们还是使用显式 Intent 的方式来启动 SecondActivity,并通过 putExtra()方法传递
 *  了一个字符串。注意这里 putExtra()方法接收两个参数,第一个参数是键,用于后面从 Intent
 *  中取值,第二个参数才是真正要传递的数据。然后我们在 SecondActivity 中将传递的数据取出,
 *  并打印出来,代码如下所示:
 *   public class SecondActivity extends Activity {
        @Override
        protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
        setContentView(R.layout.second_layout);
            Intent intent = getIntent();
            String data = intent.getStringExtra("extra_data");
            Log.d("SecondActivity", data);
        }
    }
 * 首先可以通过 getIntent()方法获取到用于启动 SecondActivity 的 Intent,然后调用
 * getStringExtra()方法,传入相应的键值,就可以得到传递的数据了。这里由于我们传递的是
 * 字符串,所以使用 getStringExtra()方法来获取传递的数据,如果传递的是整型数据,则使用
 * getIntExtra()方法,传递的是布尔型数据,则使用 getBooleanExtra()方法,以此类推。
 *

Requiring business corporations to institute an anticorruption compliance program should be a part of any national strategy to fight corruption. The argument is simple. Corporate employees or their agents are always on the paying side of a bribery offense and often a facilitator of conflict of interest and other forms of corruption. Making it against company policy for employees or agents to participate in any corrupt act with stringent sanctions up to and including termination for a violation will help shut down the supply side of the corruption equation.
Even where a company's compliance program is a sham, established simply to comply with the law, it can still help in combating corruption. A sham program would be a violation of law, and were the company investigated, the existence of a sham program would be easy for investigators to spot, easing their task of determining wrongdoing. So there seems to be no reason why lawmakers shouldn't insist that firms subject to their law, whether state-owned or privately-held, establish a program. And between the many guides published by international organizations (examples here and here), NGOs (here and here), academics, the burgeoning compliance industry, and the issuance of an international standard for such programs, there is no dearth of information on how to create and operate an effective one.
I have argued the case for a compliance requirement in several posts (examples here and here), as have many other GAB contributors (examples here and here). My most recent plea for mandating private sector compliance programs came in this one noting such a requirement in Vietnam's new anticorruption law. But one thing I have not done is address two obvious questions about compliance programs that Matthew posed in a comment to the Vietnam post: How are compliance requirement laws enforced? How effective are they in practice?
Who Will Get to Prosecute Mozambique's Former Finance Minister for Corruption?
Manuel Chang must surely feel special these days. He is the first former Minister of Finance in history (or at least that history recorded on the internet) whose is being sought for corruption by two countries. As explained here, Chang was arrested in South Africa December 30 after the United States had filed a preliminary request for extradition. Two weeks later, Mozambique filed its own extradition request. Both countries want to bring him to trial for offenses arising from his alleged corrupt approval of government guarantees for bonds issued by private firms while minster. Soon after their issue, the bonds went into default, costing the impoverished nation (GNI per capita $1200) as much as $2 billion and throwing the economy into recession.


This movie, submitted by a user on Reddit, was found in a foreign supermarket. It's titled "ShadowChaser 3", and shares more than a few similarities to Battlefield 3's box art, up to and including Battlefield 3's box art.

Easy. Just take your pick from anything in Gameloft's catalogue.


The music features the sound of an antique slide guitar called the kona (and other slide guitars). Manufactured out of Hawaiian koa wood in California in the 1920s, the kona has a rare tonal purity. It's played slide style, flat, with a small steel bar. Mixed with vocals, organ, bass and drums - and often unusual elements: conch shell, quarter-tone trumpet, pump organ, chordette, odd percussion pieces, sonar zombie, steel drums - the sound of the band has been defined and refined over the years.
The Henrys have been performing (on and off) for over 20 years, with concerts around the world. They've played at the Sweetwaters festival in New Zealand, the North Sea Festival in Holland, SXSW in Austin, Luminato and Harbourfront Centre in Toronto, the Vancouver and Calgary Folk Festivals, and many other locations. They headlined at NYC's famous Bottom Line in 1998. It is the eclectic nature of the music that makes them equally at home in folk, jazz and indie/alternative venues.
The group's latest CD, Quiet Industry, is their sixth. It joins five other internationally acclaimed recordings: Is This Tomorrow (2009), Joyous Porous (2002), Desert Cure (1998), Chasing Grace (1996), Puerto Angel (1994), as well as a solo CD, Atlas Travel, by the band's leader.
The 1994 independent Canadian release of the first disc, Puerto Angel, led to international exposure. Soon after its release England's Demon Records (Elvis Costello, Nick Lowe) released Puerto Angel in Europe. The influential Q Magazine gave it a 4-star review. Mojo called it "a delight on numerous levels." The CD was subsequently released in the USA where Ink Magazine described it as, "classic Americana. Wonderfully arranged, sharply talented and springing from the sheer joy of playing. Something extraordinary."
If there's one thing the Henrys have learned about show business, it's that you should always leave 'em wanting more. The elusive Toronto band accomplishes this in the easiest possible way, by hardly ever playing in public.
A new album is almost the only thing guaranteed to get them on stage. Even then, the Henrys do not rush to meet their public: Wednesday's CD-release show took place four months after Joyous Porous, the band's fourth album, came into the world.
Pent-up demand filled the tiered and tabled space of Hugh's Room. By the end of the set, you could almost hear the thought in most minds: "Why don't you guys do this more often?"
The Henrys' distinctive sound is rooted in leader Don Rooke's kona guitar, from which he can nurse everything from a voice-like slide tone to something as dry and articulate as a kalimba. He's a speculative kind of musician, fond of abstract ways of looking at small riffs or old-sounding tunes. His partners share his thoughtful, follow-your-nose approach, though in all other ways they're as independent as cats.
Jorn Andersen's drumming, like all good percussion, supplied a grid for everyone to work with, but also shot out a stream of witty annotations, buffing the beat smooth or nailing it with a sharp whack. Like a classical actor, Andersen prefers clear diction to noise and commotion, which meant a miserly hand with the cymbals and a mostly bone-dry tip to his stick.
Rob Gusevs's organ padded around on soft paws all night, curling through the music so subtly that you almost didn't notice how neatly it balanced things out. John Dymond's bass came to the fore in a fine solo late in the set, elsewhere partnering Rooke's melodic excursions without missing a step.
Michael White lobbed his contributions in from a more distant neighbourhood, coaxing a soulful moan from a conch shell, blowing small fantasias on trumpet, or fooling obscurely with a pile of spaghetti-cabled electronics. The weird stuff that eked from his rig during Thought You'd Never Ask put a special dreamland gloss on this sepia-toned melody.
The Henrys' material wandered all over the lot, skirting the blues in one number, flirting with tango in another. Some tunes were a bit too tightly chained to a single riff, though this mattered less when the band let go into jams such as Rash, in which a resonator gizmo gave Rooke's kona yet another tone of voice.
Such subtle variations would have been lost in most Toronto clubs, but the attentive crowd and superb acoustics at Hugh's Room let them be heard with perfect clarity. This has to be the best small room for music in the city.
The show's only disappointment was the non-appearance of Joyous Porous vocalist Mary Margaret O'Hara, who proved herself even more elusive than the Henrys. The nicest surprise, to my unacquainted ear, was the elegant opening set by Dan Kershaw, who joined with fellow guitarists Burke Carroll and David Baxter for a short set of fine-grained urban country songs, including one about a girl named Maybelline that fused affection and parody in a tune that chug-chugged along at the speed of an old 78.
NEW YORK -- When critics say it was a mediocre year for music, that's not the whole story. What they mean to say is that it was a mediocre year for popular music. With more than 25,000 albums released last year, the laws of probability predict that at least a few dozen will fit each taste. The problem is finding them. Record labels and radio stations often make their decisions based on trends, genres and lifestyle instead of along purely musical lines. When the right music is released at the wrong time, it can slip by unnoticed.
Below, the pop and jazz critics of The New York Times list some favorite albums you may not have heard last year. Some are hard to find because they are on small independent or specialty labels; others were released only abroad, and a few were neglected by their own U.S. record companies.
Hunting for some of these records can be an adventure.
The Henrys, "Desert Cure (Trainrec/Canadian Arts Council). Don Rooke's work on various slide guitars, from the kona to the lap steel to something called a sonar zombie, recalls the erudite ramblings of Bill Frisell. This ensemble (which sometimes includes the vocalist Mary Margaret O'Hara) surrounds his playing with sunset tones.
The follow-up CD, Chasing Grace, was greeted with equal enthusiasm: "Sinuous slide guitars and torque-wrench tight rhythms. The compositions and playing are impeccable. Make this one of your essential albums," said Folk Roots Magazine from the U.K. Guitar Player Magazine commented on the next CD, Desert Cure: "The third disc from this Toronto combo firmly establishes Don Rooke as one of acoustic guitar's greatest unsung heroes. Rooke is a startling original who seems constitutionally incapable of resorting to slide cliches."
2009's June release, Is This Tomorrow, a combination CD/DVD, was the Globe and Mail's Disc of the Week, also earning 3.5 out of 4 stars. The additional DVD has original still photographs set to more music by the band and mixed in 5.1 surround.

The American Institute of Steel Construction has presented a national award to a design team, including a Virginia Tech structural engineer, for its work on a dramatic cantilevered corporate headquarters in Michigan.
The 5,200 square-foot glass and steel structure that houses offices perches 16 feet above the company's workshop and warehouse in such a way that it almost appears to be hovering in air. The overhand is 113 feet long, which makes it the longest cantilevered office building structure ever constructed.
The American Institute of Steel Construction bestowed a 2010 National Award for Innovative Design in Engineering and Architecture with Structural Steel in the projects less than $15 million category on the Lamar project team.
Setareh, a professor in the College of Architecture, earned his bachelor's degree at Sharif University of Technology, Tehran, Iran; his master's degree at the University of Surrey, Guildford, Surrey, England; and his doctorate at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Mich.


Ade Adesomoju, AbujaThe National Industrial Court of Nigeria, in Abuja, on Thursday ordered both the Federal Government and the organised labour to submit a report of their negotiations on the disputes over the new minimum wage by January 30, 2019. Justice Sanusi Kado had on November 2, 2018 adjourned the case till Thursday after issuing an ex parte order stopping the strike which the labour had planned to commence on November 6. The strike was however averted after an agreement was reached on November 5 between the labour and the Federal Government with N30,000 recommended to President Muhammadu Buhari as the new minimum wage regime. READ ALSO: Buhari hasn't endorse any figure as minimum wage, Presidency insistsFollowing the absence of the defence teams in court on Thursday, Omonowa informed the judge that based on the order made by the court on November 2, negotiations on the new minimum wage were ongoing. "Pursuant to Order 42(1) of the National Industrial Court Rules, the court should allow parties to see the possibility of amicable settlement of the matter," Omonowa said.

After Firing Unvaxxed Healthcare Workers, California Tells Covid-Positive Medical Workers to Stay on the Job
It looks like the vaccine mandates are going well.
California is now telling Covid-positive medical workers to stay on the job after firing all unvaxxed healthcare workers in October.
Governor Gavin Newsom required all healthcare workers to be fully vaccinated by September 30.
Thousands of healthcare workers who worked during the height of the pandemic in 2020 and most of 2021 were fired or suspended for refusing to get jabbed.
Several hospitals in California are now overwhelmed due to staffing shortages so the "experts" are now saying Covid-positive medical workers should stay on the job if they are asymptomatic.
To be clear, unvaxxed medical workers with natural immunity cannot work, but vaxxed, Covid-positive healthcare employees can show up to work, because science.
Yahoo News reported:
State officials are attempting to address California's staffing shortage through a sweeping policy change that allows asymptomatic healthcare workers who have tested positive for the coronavirus to return to work immediately. The policy, set to remain in place through Feb. 1, is designed to keep many healthcare workers on the job at a time when hospitals are expecting more patients.
Some experts say California's stance is an unorthodox yet necessary solution to a difficult problem. Yet many healthcare workers and community members say the policy is not only ill-advised, it's potentially dangerous.
According to the guidelines, hospitals should exhaust all other options before resorting to the new policy, and workers who have tested positive for the virus should "preferably be assigned to work with COVID-19 positive patients." The workers must always wear N95 masks.
The announcement was met with outrage by many in the healthcare industry.
The decision is "irresponsible and a huge mistake that will jeopardize everyone's health," said Rosanna Mendez, executive director of SEIU 121RN, a union representing workers in Southern California. "This plan is unscientific and dangerous, and, given what we know about the transmissibility of the new variant, we believe it will put healthcare workers and patients at unnecessary risk."

Mokume
About ALex Horst Biography and Awards
As a jewelry artist, Alex is well-known for his hand-made mokume. The process to fabricate mokume is time-consuming, tedious, and exact, which scares off most jewelry artists! From the Japanese tradition, mokume means "wood-eye" and gane means "metal." This unique wood grain pattern was originally developed in 17th century Japan by Denbei Shoami, first used in the adornment of handles and sheaths for Samurai swords. The process involves stacking and fusing multiple layers of metal into a billet. The layers are rolled through a mill and patterns are developed through a combination of burring, filing, and chasing. Once the pattern is created, it is combined with silver and gemstones into a one of a kind piece of jewelry.
Simple geometry and clean lines are the cornerstone to Alex Horst's gemstone carvings and jewelry creations because they allow the elegance and beauty of nature to speak for itself. He then adds gemstones – either sparkling or opaque – to create visual texture, brilliance and balance. Metal is employed to create a functional frame for the stones.
But it is, primarily, the counterbalancing of the ductile properties of gold and silver with the rigid fragility of gemstones that most inspires Alex's passion for creating jewelry.
Alex Horst was born in 1975 in Denver, Colorado, to a family who ran a jewelry supply business. It was this business that first sparked Alex's interest in jewelry making. So much so, that by the tender young age of five, Alex was already learning from his father and grandfather how to cut gemstones. Soon after, Alex moved with his family to Arizona to his grandfather's horse and cattle ranch in the Prescott area. There, Alex continued to learn and create so that, by the age of eighteen, his work was being sold and collected at numerous international, as well as national, gem shows.
Today, Alex's jewelry – a natural progression from his early gemstone work – continues to evolve and grow along with his name as one of the premier gemstone carvers in the world.

Add above lines in your respected files. Use Asterisk-11 for IM. I had same problem in older asterisk version. Hope you are using Asterisk-11.

A: After messing a while Asterisk Version 13, got it to work from my celular to another celular. It depends also on the agent doing delivery. if the app or program is not capable of taking the message, there is nothing you can do and you will get this msg:
Unable to create channel of type 'SIP' (cause 58 - Bearer capability not available)

But if the units are capable of messaging then you will get an OK. The best way to test, is first doit on the same unit, you can send and receive a message to yourself. Once you get the msg on your same celular, then you know its working at least in your unit, then you can test in another unit using the same app or program. After you achieve that, then you need to try on a different app or program and unit then debug if does not work.

Here's how you get to Carnegie Hall (updated)
A good underdog story sells. Underdog stories are about a person or group working against all odds to make it to the big time in sports, business, the movies, the circus, or to win a battle or true love, or to graduate medical school, or even high school.
So here's news of the Hancock Select Singers, chosen to be part of the Tim Janis Chorale Ensemble for a Nov.29, 2012 performance at Carnegie Hall. That's a big name for a choir from a tiny village. Seriously, I'm not sure if they still top the 1,031 people from the 2010 census.
Apologies to those in back row!
"We have such a small town, we can't even have our own football team," said Stephanie Poborsky, a high school freshman. (They combine with neighboring Deposit to field a team.)
But what they have is Loa Noyd, a music teacher who has a few connections in the music business.
"She is an awesome teacher and she makes it fun," Poborsky said. Her mother, Betsy, was one of many in the Hancock community who made the trip to New York City to watch the pop chorale performance of original compositions by Janis.
"It was amazing and everything was so perfect. I was so proud of them," Betsy Poborsky said.
Noyd is proud of the students for the performance. She's also proud of the school community for raising the funds to pay for the transportation to get the students to New York, which made for an extremely long day: getting on a bus at 5:30 a.m. and not returning home to their Delaware County homes until 2 the morning of Nov. 30.
"We stood on those risers for about 3 hours of rehearsals and then again for the performance," said Noyd, who, with her son Jeremiah, also sang with the choir.
Jeremiah and Loa Noyd
The magic of the Nov. 29 performance is at risk as the community confronts budget issues. Even though the proposed state budget would give the district a 2.25 percent aid increase for the 2013-14 school year, it's still far below the $5.91 million the district received in the 2010-11 school year. Noyd said a major reason why a group of high school students can perform at a high-enough quality to make it to the big stage of Carnegie Hall starts with once-a-day music class that begins in kindergarten and continues through most elementary grades at her district. Starting in fifth grade, students only get music every other day for 45 minutes a day for part of the year. "I'm very worried as districts have to make tough choices about music education being eliminated altogether." Click here for a link to about Yonkers cutting music.
"The talent is here, but it must be nurtured," Noyd said. "It's sad to know there are districts that rarely offer music classes to elementary students, especially when there's such a strong link to higher academic achievement in math and other subjects."
Stephanie agrees.
"Learning music is so much easier when you're young," she said.
Noyd is proud of her teaching and NYSUT background. She is a member of the Hancock Teachers Association. Her grandfather taught science and was a guidance counselor in a predecessor union, but her mother, two aunts, four cousins, a sister and a sister-in-law are all NYSUT members. Another niece, a teacher's aide in Broome Tioga Boces at the Glenwood Center, was studying to become a special education when she was killed in a car accident.
"All of us are in New York state," Noyd said proudly.
On a side note, Noyd's music teacher, NYSUT retiree Mildred Bowman, attended the conference. I've tried to contact Bowman in Florida, but haven't heard back yet. You know how busy those retirees are! Here's a pic of the two of them.
"Midge" Bowman and Loa Noyd
UPDATED Feb. 1. Calling in from sunny Florida where it was 50 degrees this morning, Mildred Bowman taught music in the Windsor schools. She recalled Noyd as one of a group of "absolutely stellar and gifted students I keep in touch with" even after three decades of being retired.
"Yes, I'm retired about as long as I taught," Bowman said.
As to the Carnegie performance, Bowman praised the chorus and the music and noted it was a wonderful experience for the students.
"I was really impressed with how the students conducted themselves. They had to stand through two speeches, both which were longer than they needed to be. Their deportment was wonderful. They never fidgeted. They were totally prepared."

Director Biography – Mishal Mahmud (BREACH OF TRUST)
Posted on May 21, 2020 by documentaryfestival
Mishal Mahmud is a Pakistani filmmaker and second year MFA student studying film and television production at the University of Southern California. At USC, she made five short films and became deeply passionate about directing, editing, and producing. Her love of both film and social justice eventually led her to developing and directing Breach of Trust, her first documentary short.
For three decades George Tyndall was the only full-time gynecologist at USC, and although complaints of sexual misconduct were lodged against him as far back as 1989, Tyndall was not asked to resign until 2017 after a nurse named Cindy Gilbert reported him to the rape crisis center.
George Tyndall was given a financial payout and was not reported to the state medical board or law enforcement agencies. Although an independent investigation had found him guilty of sexual misconduct, it was not until the LA Times released an investigative report about the Tyndall case that the tens of thousands of patients that were treated by him became aware what had happened.
For me, this film began with anger, confusion, and anxiety. I could not understand why this was able to persist for so long, how multiple survivors and employees had come forward over the course of three decades and little to nothing was done. Slowly, I started to meet the women who were affected by this case and in hearing their stories, the importance of this film became more and more undeniable. I cared about this project so deeply, and knew that I wanted to do everything I could to help tell this story. But as an inexperienced director the anxiety that came with misrepresenting or sensationalizing this narrative was overwhelming.
Slowly but surely, I found myself working with people who believed in this story and wanted to do everything they could to do the project justice. This, along with being honored with the trust of Amanda, Dana, Kay, Brennan, Matt, Jane, Ariela, and Cindy made me want to put my own fears aside and do what we hope the USC administration will eventually do- which is to genuinely engage with this story and to seek out it's truth.
Brennan, Amanda, Dana, Kay, Matt, Jane, Ariela, and Cindy are all either USC students, alumni, faculty members, or former staff. And despite what has happened and how they were treated by USC's administration, they are all deeply committed to making this community better.
We started off with a dark story about institutional complicity and neglect, but what we eventually found was a community of people who were compassionate and subversive and heroic. I think I can speak for the crew when I say that being able to collaborate with our subjects in telling their stories, in telling this story, has been the greatest privilege for us all.

Amazon launched Kindle Unlimited, its all-you-can-read subscription service, in the US last summer. Now it's headed north to Canada.
From today, Canadian Amazon customers can access 750,000 titles for $9.99 a month.
You can test the service with a 30-day free trial. It's available via Kindle e-readers, as well as Amazon's apps for iOS, Android, Windows Phone, BlackBerry, PC, Mac and Windows 8.
Kindle Unlimited's Canadian rollout also includes 15,000 French language titles. It's worth being slightly wary though, as the service was found to include a lot of self-published titles when it launched elsewhere.


There's nothing Tesla's CEO, Elon Musk, loves doing more than hitting social media, namely Twitter, when it comes to reaching out to his public. Recently, he tweeted about the company developing a pickup truck, something he hasn't been shy about revealing recently at events; and this time when he was talking about the pickup concept, he was looking for some feedback.
Musk tweeted looking for suggestions that folks would like to see in a pickup truck, mainly stating that he did have somethings in mind, but was looking for ideas around small, yet important, features that would perk people's interest when it came to this type of vehicle.
Interesting to pool the public on what sort of things would distinguish a Tesla pickup from the competition. In another tweet, mere minutes after the first, Musk gave a brief rundown about what the public could expect from a Tesla truck on the horizon. As he posted, the model would have all-wheel drive, a dual motor, with suspension that adjust dynamically for loads; he also added the pickup would have 'crazy torque', and noted all these features would be standard.
He also added that the truck would parallel park automatically with 360-degree cameras, and sonar; adding that the 't'rear gate' would rotate and a four-bar link would drop closely to the ground, as most larger trucks have theses days.
Car and Driver reported that it seems like Tesla may have all its ducks lined up well when it comes to this new model venture; however, if you are fan of pickups and think buying Tesla would be a great choice, don't start saving up for this truck just yet. With the recent delays the company has experienced around its Model 3 car, you may be waiting a very long time.
While the pickup concept sounds fantastic, getting autos from blueprints to the road hasn't been Tesla's strong suit as of late.

MahaRERA grants six-month extension to builders to deliver projects
"All MahaRERA registered projects where completion date, revised completion date or extended completion date expires on or after April 15, 2021, the period of validity for registration of such projects shall be extended by six months," the Authority said in a notification.
August 07, 2021, 09:31 IST
MUMBAI: The Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority on Friday allowed a six-month relief to builders to deliver projects by accepting their demand for invoking the 'force majeure' clause because of the second wave. This is the second time in the pandemic that the authority has granted such a relief for the builders in the state.
The Authority added that it will accordingly issue project registration certificates with revised timelines for such projects at the earliest and also made it clear that the extension will not apply to projects that were to be completed before April 15.
The notification said the state government had on April 13 issued directions regarding restrictions on the movement of people because of the second wave of infections and added that this wave was more lethal.
The lockdowns led to construction activities coming to a standstill due to non-availability of labour and impact on the movement of building material, it said.
"A force majeure period of six months from April 15 to October 14 is being declared," the notification said.
The order has been issued in order to aid government efforts in controlling the damage caused due to COVID-19 and ensure that completion of projects does not get adversely affected, it added.
The time limits for projects, which became due anytime during the force majeure period, will automatically stand extended for a period till the expiry of the period, it said clarifying that the rights of the allottees will not get affected through the order.
The notification said promoter organisations had represented before the Authority requesting for this relief in the wake of the second wake crippling the industry.
"It is a move in the right direction and the real estate hopes for authorities other than MahaRERA to follow the same thought process and grant similar relief," developer Niranjan Hiranadani, national president of realty industry body Naredco, said.

Q: Using INSERT INTO with WHERE I have a table Id | DocId | Page | WordCount
I want to insert the word counts for N pages. That is if N=3 then I want to add all the WordCount for pages 1,2 and 3 and then insert them into a new table Id | DocId | WordCount
I am trying to do the following:
INSERT INTO [NewDocTable] (DocId, WordCount)
    SELECT [W].DocId AS DocId, SUM ([W].WordCount) AS WordCount
    FROM [OldDocTable] AS [W]
    WHERE [W].Page <= @N

Could someone help?
I have the following the error: Column 'OldDocTable.DocId' is invalid in the select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.

A: Tried adding a group by? The fact that you are using a summarization function SUM() in this case, will require you to tell the database that you want to sum them up against the DocId
INSERT INTO [NewDocTable] (DocId, WordCount)
    SELECT [W].DocId AS DocId, SUM ([W].WordCount) AS WordCount
    FROM [OldDocTable] AS [W]
    WHERE [W].Page <= @N
    GROUP BY [W].DocId

A: The issue is very clear from your error message. Use the below query:
INSERT INTO [NewDocTable] (DocId, WordCount)
    SELECT [W].DocId AS DocId, SUM ([W].WordCount) AS WordCount
    FROM [OldDocTable] AS [W]
    WHERE [W].Page <= @N
    GROUP BY [W].DocId

Check this.

A: Try adding the group by that the statement suggests;
INSERT INTO [NewDocTable] (DocId, WordCount)
SELECT [W].DocId AS DocId, SUM ([W].WordCount) AS WordCount
FROM [OldDocTable] AS [W]
WHERE [W].Page <= @N
GROUP BY [W].DocId

The issue isn't with the INSERT INTO, it's with your SELECT statement. To check that it's doing what you're expecting it's always good practice to run the select on it's own first to ensure it is working.

Tintin, the intrepid, globe-trotting Belgian boy reporter, will never grow up—at least not if the estate of Hergé, his creator, has its way. A recent revisioning of the classic Tintin adventure "The Blue Lotus" (with the flower of the title tinged "Pink"), by the comic-book writer Antonio Altarriba, has been pulled from bookstores in Spain after the Hergé estate complained that it "perverted the essence of the personality of Tintin." Was the problem the depiction of Tintin as a debauched thirtysomething tabloid journalist? Or the full-frontal sex (even if merely line-drawn)?
This isn't the first time that Tintin fans have tried to sex up their hero. Last year, on the anniversary of Hergé's birth, Anthony Lane cited the work of a Tintin scholar who had argued that "the jewel embedded in the title of 'The Castafiore Emerald' is, in fact, Bianca Castafiore's clitoris." Lane was skeptical:
There are no genitalia in Hergé's work, because there is no sex. Tintin passes increasing portions of his life with an unmarried seaman, yet it seldom occurs to us to question their rapport. Tintin never has a girlfriend, nor does he express the need for one, and that absence is part of his greater mystery. He has no parents or siblings. He has no children, of course, and we are unsure whether he counts as a child himself; like Peter Pan, the boy reporter never ages, being a person both of his time and buoyantly apart from it. He often dresses in plus fours, like a golfer of the nineteen-twenties, yet when he finally upgrades to flared brown jeans, in "Tintin and the Picaros," we feel embarrassed and betrayed on his behalf.
Lane is currently reporting from China—coincidentally, like Tintin in "The Blue Lotus," although Lane's beat is the Olympics, not the opium trade.

Mike Cannon was the other "unknown" member of the exclusive Team Five - an inner circle of Team Canada management which included coaches Harry Sinden and John Ferguson, organizer Alan Eagleson and fellow Eagleson worker Bobby Haggert. The 5 essentially shut out Hockey Canada from practically all involvement.
Cannon's job was legal in nature. He was kept busy handling all the visa problems the Canadians naturally encountered as they travelled to Sweden, the Soviet Union, and the former Czechoslovakia. He also aided players whenever they encountered non-hockey problems.
Cannon was seen in game 8. When Team Canada had to rescue Alan Eagleson from the Russian policemen, he, like most of the players and others at the Team Canada bench/dressing room, jumped onto the ice. He is seen behind Eagleson as Eagleson walks across the ice and shakes his fist at the crowd.

Kaap Agri says it's been gaining market share in the interior of the country, which together with more favourable wheat positions has contributed to a strong rise in first-half sales.
In a trading update, the farming community retailer and agri-services group said sales increased by 28.7% to R4.39 billion in the six months to end-March despite lingering pressures from the recent drought and the general subdued performance of the retail sector. Comparable sales grew by 10.5% over the period. It said sales growth was driven by a 22% increase in the number of transactions, while average prices decreased by 0.5%, excluding fuel. It said gross profit rose at a slower pace than turnover due to changes to its sales mix, fuel prices increases and margin pressure.
Kaap Agri said while drought conditions have persisted in the Northern Cape, its inland operations benefitted from market share gains. Wesgraan performed well over the period due to a more favourable wheat position, however the full impact of the recovery is weighted to the second half of the financial year. Revenue includes Underberg Forge, the KwaZulu-Natal farming and building-supplies retailer it bought a 60% stake in last September. Excluding the impact of Forge, it said non-agri real sales grew at 3.9% from a year earlier.
Fuel volumes increased by 9.2%, with growth at its fuel site convenience and quick service restaurant retail operations exceeding fuel volume growth.
Although both agri and non-agri retail sales have shown signs of improvement, the outlook for the remainder of the year remains dependant on normalised weather patterns and improved consumer confidence," Kaap Agri said. "The business remains committed to its medium-term strategic plans and continues to explore Agri, Retail and Manufacturing expansion opportunities."
The group said the recovery in Wesgraan, store upgrades and expansions, as well as the revenue from new petrol station sites, would contribute more significantly during the second half of the year.
Its shares rose 6.3% to R31.90 yesterday.
Nice trading update from #KaapAgri #KAL . certainly one to keep in the crosshairs.
imo. can only get better.

When I try to run the application with ./bin/catalina.sh run, I get the following error:

java.sql.SQLException: Access denied for user 'person_db_user'@'127.0.0.1' (using password: YES)

Here is the application.properties file:
spring.jpa.hibernate.ddl-auto=create
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/persons_db
spring.datasource.username=person_db_user
spring.datasource.password=password

spring.mvc.throwExceptionIfNoHandlerFound=true

The user exists, and I'm able to access MySQL from the command line with it.
I can't figure out what the problem is does anybody have any idea?

A: This command  can help you: Execute it in command line or some GUI tool.

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON . TO 'erson_db_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED
  BY '%password%' WITH GRANT OPTION;

Don't forget to replace %password% with real password.


Yep, you read that correctly. Instead of lagging behind and furiously shoving its head in the sand, an Australian financial institution has been announced as one of the first 9 banks to sign a world first global blockchain partnership.
Joining some of the largest banks on earth, including Barclays, JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs, Commbank executives have spent the past year in and out of New York hotel rooms, helping define an innovative framework for using blockchain technology in the markets.
"Imagine that you're walking down a crowded city street, and a piano falls from the sky. As dozens of people turn to watch, the piano crashes down right in the middle of the street.
Is there any doubt that the piano fell from the sky?
Diehard fintech junkies can read the whole lot here, but here is a simple breakdown of what this all means for the rest of us.
Just like the entertainment industry toppled before them, a large portion of the tasks and resources inside financial organisations are deeply inefficient and superfluous to their actual value proposition.
With that in mind, some very smart ex-Wall Street types built a 'startup' called R3, focused on taking the best financial technology from the world of startups and selling it to the world's largest financial organisations.
1. As the video explains, removing the need for data to be 'verified' by a third party means we no longer need to wait for a bored middle manager to approve our home loan payment (or international money transfer, or the mountains of currently paperwork generated by the trading of stocks).
So you get your money and information much faster - Hurrah!
2. Mister manager loses his job and inevitably struggles to find anywhere willing to pay him very well for analysing spreadsheets and lifting a rubber stamp every few hours.
3. Banks save billions. Instead of passing on the value to their long suffering customers, 4 smarmy executives become instant trillionaires and proceed to buy up a number of small nations.
4. The towering skyscrapers filling our cities will be emptied, leaving several convenient recharging stations for our new robot overlords.
