They Type Of Competiton Planned Parenthood Will Definitely HATE, A Crisis Pregnancy Center
Pro-life center slated to be built next to Planned Parenthood
Mike Skaggs, executive director of the planned center, said that after months of prayer and planning, fundraising began in earnest in March and is continuing with visits to churches throughout Sioux City and beyond, asking for prayers and financial support.
Planned Parenthood of the Heartland, of which the Sioux City clinic is a part, declined a request for an interview about plans for Mary's Choice. Instead, it released a statement from its Des Moines office, which said it provides health care services to thousands of women and men and that 97 percent of its services focus on prevention and education.
Of its anticipated new neighbor, it said, "Our hope and expectation is to have good neighbors who are law abiding and respectful."
Support for mothers
Mary's Choice will offer free pregnancy testing, some ultrasound tests, counseling, educational opportunities and support for mothers and their babies during pregnancy and after giving birth. That could be anything from providing diapers and baby clothes to referrals for adoption services.
Skaggs said it is not the intent of Mary's Choice to duplicate services already available and that the center will refer women to other agencies and programs as appropriate. "Hopefully we'll be able to complement and support the other ministries in town," he said.
Bishop R. Walker Nickless, of the Diocese of Sioux City, said he knows Skaggs and supports his work. But he also wanted to be sure people know that Mary's Choice is not a program of the diocese.
Skaggs emphasized that, too. "It's open to anyone who wants to come or to donate," he said.
Why there?
Locating right beside the Planned Parenthood facility gives girls and women in a crisis pregnancy a "visual alternative," according to Jean Plourde, the founder and board president of Gabriel's Corner, a similar facility in Council Bluffs, Iowa, on which Mary's Choice is modeled.
He said Gabriel's Corner used that strategy more than four years ago when it opened across the street from Planned Parenthood there.
Skaggs acknowledged that the location beside Planned Parenthood would provide opportunities for "sidewalk counseling" but said he didn't think it would cause any problems. He said sidewalk counseling has been going on quite awhile and that those who do it are familiar with relevant laws and follow them.
State and federal law prohibit harassment of people entering and leaving health-care facilities and bar protesters and sidewalk counselors from private property.
Skaggs said that during a visit to Gabriel's Corner, he expressed anxiety about what Mary's Choice might be like in four years.
"They said you can't worry about four years down the road. Get it going and the rest will come," Skaggs recounted.
"That's our model now," he said. "Some days, it's been rough. But things are going well and we're on track to have things ready to go in January 2011."
At a glance
What: Mary's Choice is a crisis pregnancy counseling center being planned by a multidenominational group. It will offer services such as free pregnancy testing, ultrasound screening, educational materials and various emotional, educational and material supports and referrals for women wanting to give birth to their babies.
Where: In the 4400 block of Stone Avenue, next to the Planned Parenthood facility.
When: Plans call for a January opening.

How it Works
Our service is really a variation on a theme that is already decades in existence. We have done the school trip, and done the home exchange with a student in France or other foreign country to help our language skills, done the bagging up at the Sainsbury checkout to learn to understand what work is. We in TWIYO take that valuable experience a bit further into the world of work. We have work experience and internship opportunities in the UK, but our future aim is for the arrow to land in a foreign safe country.
The usual sequence of events is expected to be as follows:-
1. A young person contacts us expressing interest in our programme
2. We register their interest and ask them to get parents or guardian or relatives on-side, and to seek their advice
3. We ask the young person to complete a form or send us a CV. This highlights not only their aspirations but also potential problems, whether health or other issues. If under 18, we ask the form to be counter-signed by a parent or guardian.
4. We offer suitable posts that match the young person's aspirations. All key aspects of posts will already have been checked out.
5. The young person chooses the most suitable post for them.
6. We send the personal data to the employer, with a contract to sign. We ask for a donation of £200 which they are not obliged to pay. As an alternative we ask the employer to pay for flights and taxi, provide a warm welcome and find appropriate local accommodation for the duration of the young person's stay. Again, they are not obliged to fund any of these, only to supply or arrange or facilitate them.
7. We supply Itinerary and flight / train tickets along with a small amount of money to get started on day one at their destination. We ensure the young person is appropriately equipped for the location and the job, including clothing, money, equipment and knowledge.
8. After arrival, we check on progress daily in the first week with both intern and employer, then weekly until they arrive safely back at home.
9. Upon return, the young person gives us a briefing on their internship or work experience.

Holy Trinity, Churchville claims a long, proud and well-documented history. We are proud of our church, both the small Gothic Revival building, and the community who have built, loved and shared that building during 150 years of serving Our Lord.
Just after the Civil War both the economy and the social fabric of Harford County were devastated. Local landowner, Dr. David Harlan was convinced that, in this era of pain and chaos, much could be done towards spiritual healing and increased stability if the Episcopal community in the Churchville area were to have a church building in which to meet locally. Upon his retirement as Medical Director of the Navy of the United States to his farm in Churchville, Harlan donated the land for the church and cemetery. He also financed the building and furnishing of a frame church capable of seating at least 150.
Dr. Harlan donated the funds anonymously: to begin with Holy Trinity was known as a mission church of Deer Creek Church. Monies were placed in the hands of the Rector of Deer Creek, the Reverend Edward A. Colburn. In 1867 Colburn became the full-time Rector of Holy Trinity, leading the church for 34 years. The first service was held in 1867.
Dr. Harlan also funded the building of a rectory, a barn, outbuildings and parish day and boarding schools.
In 1877, a few days before Christmas the frame church building burned to the ground. Services proceeded, however, as the congregation decorated the ruins with boughs and berries and salvaged, cleaned and placed the altar and some of the pews. Working together for a shared purpose and common good had become already an entrenched part of the witness and faith of the fellowship, as we believe it still is today.
A new stone church was completed within a year. The stone used is still quarried in Churchville on Calvary Road. The building is trimmed with Port Deposit granite and roofed with slate from Cardiff, Harford County. The 13th Century English Gothic style structure is largely unchanged since 1877.
Our Parish House was built in 1961. The work, with a major expansion in 1984-85, was accomplished mainly by our parishioners' own labor.
In 2017 we celebrated the 150th anniversary of Holy Trinity, Churchville. It was an occasion of grateful reflection and joyous renewal.
A more complete church history may be found in the booklet prepared for the 150th celebration evening.

Before We Visit the Goddessby Chitra Divakaruni
The daughter of a poor baker in rural Bengal, India, Sabitri yearns to get an education, but her family's situation means college is an impossible dream. Then an influential woman from Kolkata takes Sabitri under her wing, but her generosity soon proves dangerous after the girl makes a single, unforgiveable misstep. Years later, Sabitri's own daughter, Bela, haunted by her mother's choices, flees abroad with her political refugee lover—but the America she finds is vastly different from the country she'd imagined. As the marriage crumbles and Bela is forced to forge her own path, she unwittingly imprints her own child, Tara, with indelible lessons about freedom, heartbreak, and loyalty that will take a lifetime to unravel.
In her latest novel, Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni explores the complex relationships between mothers and daughters, and the different kinds of love that bind us across generations. Before We Visit the Goddess captures the gorgeous complexity of these multi-generational and transcontinental bonds, sweeping across the twentieth century from the countryside of Bengal, India, to the streets of Houston, Texas—an extraordinary journey told through a sparkling symphony of voices.

At the ripe old age of 32 I have started to notice a few wrinkles creeping in (I would call them laughter lines but unfortunately they seem to be frown lines!) and after two children I have a number of rather impressive stretch marks. I am all for being proud of your stretch marks because they are a sign of what you went through for your child, but I would like them to be reduced…
Picture from internet, not my own.
I was offered some Moringa Oil to test from Wikaniko and have been using it for 2 weeks now.
I did a quick bit of research about Moringa Oil (I am the daughter of a scientist so I do not naively accept facts found online, so this information was from an article which quoted its sources from various scientific journals (see article here): Moringa Oil is known for its anti-aging properties and is found in many skin care products. It also hydrates and moisturises and leaves the skin brightened, it is antiseptic and anti inflammatory so helps prevent outbreaks. Moringa Oil helps treat dark spots of hyperpigmentation.
As a teenager I had an acne outbreak and the doctor prescribed something which seemed to be pure alcohol and sapped all the moisture from my skin, since then I have had super sensitive skin which turns red at the slightest thing (including water). Since using the Moringa Oil I have found my skin is a lot less sensitive and definitely brighter and less tired looking.
I don't have massive wrinkles, but I certainly have the start of them and would be very pleased if I didn't! Haha! After two weeks of using Moringa Oil every evening I can see a good difference, they haven't vanished but they are certainly reduced.
I have a facial dark spot which has appeared over the last few years (as a skin cancer sufferer I, of course, freaked out and got it checked but I can assure you the dermatologist doubled checked it and it is just a mark), since using the oil there has been a good difference and I hope to continue using it and perhaps eliminate it altogether:
I have also been using the Moringa Oil on my stretch marks on my stomach (in preparation for a bikini in America this coming June!) again there has been a good reduction in the obvious marks, but I can't expect miracles my son was 9lb8!
Finally, I tested the claim that the Moringa Oil was good for conditioning the hair. Apply before it is washed (leave on over night is best but I only applied it immediately before a shower) and then wash off with natural shampoo (SLS free shampoo is best, see my reviews of sls free shampoos here). I was surprised how beautifully soft and shiny my hair was afterwards, my hair has been bleached recently so is pretty dry atm. I assumed it would get greasy quickly since I has smothered it in oil but actually it lasted longer than normal between washes.
The Moringa Oil isn't cheap at £16.95 for 100ml but you really don't need much of it for each application so it lasts really well. If you would like to try it I have been given a 10% discount code to share with you all, use code MOR10 at checkout. Offer valid on this website only, until end of March 2017.
*please note, I was provided this item free in exchange for a review. This has not effected my opinion and all words are my own.

Student doctor, please pause the tape and summarize what we've discussed about kidney endocrine products.
Four kidney products are 1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D, erythropoietin, prostaglandins, and renin. The kidney makes 1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D from 25-hydroxy-vitamin D. Parathyroid hormone, PTH, triggers the creation of 1,25-dihydroxy-vitamin D and the enzyme is 1-alpha-hydroxylase. Erythropoietin is secreted by the endothelial cells of the peritubular capillaries. This is triggered by hypoxemia. Prostaglandins are vasodilators of the afferent arterioles. They act to raise the glomerular filtration rate and can be suppressed by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories.

Polish Tatra Sheepdog
The Tatra Mountain Dog is an ancient breed, regardless of what it's often classified as. Believed by some to be just a white variant of the Sarplaninac taken to Poland by Wallachian traders from the Balkans, this is a much larger and heavier breed than the white dogs usually found in Yugoslavia, Hungary and the Czech/Slovakian regions, suggesting some Central Asian heritage as well. Originating in the Podhale area of southern Poland, the Tatra Dog is undoubtedly related to the Hutsul Dog, as well as to the Molossers of Greece and Turkey. It has traditionally been employed as a personal protector and livestock guardian, but also as a draft dog and family pet, resulting in a sufficiently sharp working dog, who is also an intuitive and even-tempered companion. While defending the large herds of goats and sheep, the Tatra Mountain Dog would stay close to the flock, choosing not to go after the predators and leave the livestock without protection, showing great restraint and intelligence, which earned the Tatra the reputation of a thinking dog among the herdsmen.
The Tatra Sheepdogs are usually used in a group of two or more dogs, which puts them at an advantage when confronting a pack of wolves. Instead of attacking the wolves too far away from the herd, the Tatra Mountain Dog will engage in a confrontation only when the predators move in and the conflict cannot be avoided. By not leaving the flock and breaking up their pack, the Tatra Sheepdogs have a better chance of protecting their herd, as well as of killing a wolf.
A valued guardian and companion of sheep herders in the Tatra mountains for centuries, this rugged Molosser managed to survive the 2nd World War, but then almost became extinct during the Communist rule, when the number of rural herdsmen, their flocks and their dogs declined drastically. By the 1960's, the fanciers of the Owczarek Podhalanski decided to start a revival programme, reportedly based on the careful selection of the best surviving specimens, but the modern Tatra Mountain Dog is more likely to be a result of planned matings with the Kuvasz, as is the case with its lighter cousin, the Slovakian Chuvach. During the mid-1970's, the breed was slowly becoming more common outside of its homeland and by the 1980's, Tatra Sheepdogs could be found in many Euroepan countries, as well as the United States. The breed was recognized by the U.K.C. in 1995 and although its population is modest in numbers, the Tatra Dog has a loyal, albeit small following in America and around the world.
Although not as large as in the past, the Polish Tatra Shepherd Dog is a giant breed, heavily muscled and a well-boned herding and guarding dog. It also makes a good companion, as well as an outstanding police and military dog, thanks to its great intelligence and trainability. However, the breed requires responsible and experienced handling, because it can be confrontational around strange dogs and people. This is a territorial and serious watchdog, needing early socialization and training. The head is broad and large, with a powerful muzzle and strong jaws. The neck is muscled and the chest is wide. The ears and tail are left unaltered.
The long rich coat, which can be both straight and wavy, but never curly, is uniform white in colour. The nose, eyerims and lips must be black, although poorly pigmented specimens can sometimes be seen in the West. The height can vary from 24 to 34 inches at the withers, but most modern dogs are around 29 inches tall.

Since 2002, Will Armstrong has spent twenty weekends per year away from his home in Richmond, Virginia —steadily racking up over half a million miles on his vertebrae and on a rotating cast of trusted (though admittedly abused) vehicles.The road holds countless stories and in his work, you will find them.
Tales of out of the way honky tonks, movie palaces, cheap motels and barrels of gas paid on questionable credit; stories of both roadside dives or majestic theaters and the musicians that crawl in and out.
Will's work is the soundtrack to a road trip; songs and artists are embedded on the towns they made famous. Bob Wills, Johnny Cash and Muddy Waters are as much as an influence as Frank Miller and Thomas Nast. The lines of the road have become indistinguishable from the lines of the pen; just as the subject from location.
Will draws with an oil-based pen on a collage of vintage maps and sheet music. An acrylic wash on top of the drawing gives the work a painterly style.
We are most likely to accept offers of 10% or less off the list price.

08.14.12 Truth & Wisdom
From Hollywood to Saudi Arabia: The Trail to Self-Love
BY Raya Meddine
We know the expression "never say never" all too well but take it for granted.
I've been traveling since the age of seven months, lived in nine different countries and speak five languages. My thirst for exploring new worlds is unquenchable.
But I have said in the past, "I will never travel to Saudi Arabia." Why would I want to support a country in which women are forbidden to drive, vote and cannot leave their home without wrapping themselves in black fabric from head to toe? Why would I, a woman who has never felt more alive than on the nudist beaches of Croatia, live in a land where women's faces are blurred on billboards and pictures of little girls in bathing suits are scratched in black marker on toy boxes?
Why would an actress and writer enjoying her career in Hollywood trade the red carpet for a burka?
Flash-forward. My husband is offered a job opportunity that is professionally, creatively and financially exciting. Out of all places, the job is in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Also, I lied. I was no longer enjoying my career in Hollywood and craved an unexpected life adventure.
I knew the shift would be challenging, that I'd have to shed my old skin to make a new one, let go of the old to make space for the new. I had all the New Age jargon and mind-set down. I was, after all, a spiritual woman and Los Angeles had given me all the doses of Kundalini yoga, meditation, Agape services, colonics and Chinese herb detoxes a woman could need. I was ready for a transformation.
After much thought we decide to embark on the journey with our then 6 months year old daughter. Malibu move over, we'll be sand surfing in Dhahran.
We moved into the best compound in the country. 11,000 people from a hundred different nationalities. A city within a city where women can drive, jog in shorts and wear a bathing suit. There are pools, golf courses, tennis fields and a DVD store carrying uncensored movies in which foreplay does lead into lovemaking, a cigarette and breakfast instead of cutting straight to the son's college graduation. A bubble indeed but it seemed like a pleasant one to be in with my little family.
Not so fast. After a while, reality started to sink in. I don't like anyone here. I can't drive outside the compound. I'm at the mercy of my husband or a driver to take me anywhere and finding a taxi can take hours. It's 120 degrees outside. I'm stuck at home in the air-conditioning. I live on the Truman Show. And even when I do get out, there is nowhere to go besides the mall, Starbucks and McDonalds. Restaurants are segregated into "family" and "bachelor" sections so that unrelated men and women cannot mingle. No wonder you end up being aroused by an accidentally flashed armpit.
Tradition and caution are so steeped into the collective zeitgeist, that every move is drenched in paranoia and self-censorship. If showing my hair in public is considered offensive, can you imagine what it is like to breastfeed my baby in the mall? Sheer terror. I'm always scared the police will arrest me for flashing my neck, let alone my breast.
For the first time ever I got a glimpse of how regional culture, and probably any fundamentalist society, perceives the female body: as sinful, shameful and degrading. I was saddened down to my very essence not just as a woman, but mostly as a human being.
Everything became a challenge: meditating, finding inspiration, feeling joy as I woke up. I missed being a free, creative woman with places to go to and fabulous friends to meet for brunch.
It got so bad at one point that I started to Google things like "I don't know who I am", "Symptoms of bipolar disorder" and going on suicide blogs in which people share their dark despair and past attempts.
Then I realized if there's no one out there to mirror me, does that mean I loose who I am? Shouldn't my identity be so rooted that no matter where I am, how disconnected I am from what resembles me, that I should not waver in my joy and endeavors?
When stripped from all exterior motivation to belong and impress, when disconnected from any outside like-mindedness, are we destined to wither away or is that precisely the time to honor who we truly are?
It suddenly dawned on me that all this oppression and annihilation bore a gift for me: the gift of self-liberation.
Don't we all oppress, sabotage, censor and scare ourselves daily in some shape or form? Are we truly waiting for any one person, system or job to do it for us? We do it to ourselves every day whether it's by believing we are not enough or by being afraid to live our true potential and dreams.
So I choose today to accept this gift and to see this kingdom as a land of blessings and opportunities, for the challenges it offers me are a mirror of what I choose to never inflict on myself again.
Living in Saudi Arabia has pushed me to look inward because there's nowhere else to go. I guess the desert has much to teach us, namely what it means to be a nomad. Nomads travel the desert to flee drought, sand storms and other natural threats. But the real lesson here seems to be how to become an "inner nomad". Not navigating outside factors but rather traveling within ourselves, discovering our internal landscape, understanding it, caring for it without running away from it or judging it as a drought, sandstorm or other threat.
It cannot be a coincidence that upon moving to Saudi, we found ourselves living on a charming little street called "Nomad Trail". It seems inner travel is my destiny at this time in my life. It's drafting me into surrender, acceptance and finally, I hope, into unconditional self-love. I shall oblige.

We are leaders in providing targeted bank trainings
A man makes an offer for a gardener: "If I guess exactly how many apples you've got on your tree, will I get €100?"
The gardener agrees. The man works a while with his laptop and says: "512".
The gardener says: "You're right. Here you go, your money. And if I can guess what your job is, will I get my €100 back? If I'm wrong, you get another €100."
The man agrees.
"You're a consultant.", says the gardener.
"How could you know?", asks the man.
"Easy. You came in here uninvited, you told me what I don't really need, and you want to be paid for it."
We are different.

Nine killed in Alaska plane crash
An excursion plane flying over the Alaskan fjords has gone down, killing everyone on board. The flight was part of a voyage for the Holland America cruise line.
All eight passengers and the pilot were killed when a sightseeing plane crashed in the Misty Fjords area of Alaska on Thursday, the aircraft company Promech Air confirmed.
In a statement, the company announced that the plane went down during an excursion in connection with the Holland America cruise line, a subsidiary of Carnival Corporation. The incident occurred near Ella Lake, approximately 20 miles (32 km) northeast of the town of Ketchikan in southern Alaska.

The Aftermath of the Flood
Last night a few guys from Cornerstone headed over to the theatre to check out the new blockbuster movie Noah and sat down over some (really excellent) food to talk about it afterwards. It was an interesting discussion. Now that I've had a bit of time to process, I'd like to take a minute to share a few thoughts on the movie and provide you with a couple of links if you'd like to dig in deeper.
Thar be spoilers ahead!
Some of the movie was strange and fantastical. The presence of "zohar" as some sort of spiritual mineral. The "watchers," who are portrayed as angels that came to help mankind but were punished by being trapped in rock-bodies played a much larger role in the movie than I was expecting. Some of the pre-flood animals are just weird.
There are a lot of people out there that are very upset that Noah seems to diverge from or fill in what is given in the Genesis 6-9 account. They feel like the trailer gave a bit of a bait and switch. Where the trailer heavily implies Noah relying on God for help and protection, what he really has is an army of Rock Ents. They feel like there is radical and unjustified departures from the text for the sake of Hollywood film making. The issue is that the Bible's Genesis account of the Flood isn't the source material behind the movie.
This movie, for the most part, bypasses Genesis and goes to sources that the Early Church branded Gnostic heresies, or special mystical knowledge from Secret Religions like Kabalah (who's primary text is called the Zohar, by the way). It reaches into the book of 1st Enoch for information about The Watchers, and even then takes them from being fallen angels who brought war to mankind and are awaiting due punishment to misunderstood benevolent martyrs who long to go back to heaven.
In short, the film makers did everything they could to take a story that Christians would be drawn to and make it about how human will triumphs over everything, and God, if he's there at all, is silent. God is a monster. The snake is a hero that brings the blessing of wisdom and special knowledge to humanity. It's a hot mess. The thing is, if you're not looking for it, it's easy to miss or dismiss. It's relatively subtle compared to how BIG the action is.
After having watched it, I can say that I wholeheartedly do not recommend it. If you want to see it as a movie for its own merits, go ahead, but don't go with any expectation that it's about the Noah or the God of the Bible.

Speaking on the sidelines of a Courts Young Lions training session at Jalan Besar Stadium yesterday, National Coach Bernd Strange finally gave his view on the SEA Games debacle, which saw the Singapore football team crashing out in an early group stage match in June this year.
Earlier, former Lions coach Aide Iskandar had made remarks about internal politics within the Football Association of Singapore (FAS) in which he blamed Bernd and FAS for the Lions' humiliating defeat.
"I will answer for only things that are completely wrong," the German coach said. "And it was Aide's recommendation to give Faris and Sahil to the LionsXII.
"Because Faris told us if he could not play for the LionsXII, he would take up an offer from another MSL club.
"Secondly, (Aide) wrote in his e-mail that Sahil could not pass (the mandatory 2.4km) fitness test for the S.League and, to avoid more irritation and public blame, he recommended (Sahil) to the LionsXII.
"It's very sad for me to correct my colleague (in public), but these are facts.
"All the other things in the Straits Times article, I will not make any comments before I speak to the FAS exco (executive committee)."
Stange even had the email documents to prove it. He took out his smart phone and showed The New Paper reports an e-mail dated 5th Dec, which seemed to back up his claims.
According to those emails, winger Faris was ready to accept a move to MSL giants Selangor, and was not keen to play in the Courts Young Lions team. Hence, coaches made the decision to have him in the LionsXII, an FAS developmental team, which would give Aide the chance to call him up for friendly matches and training camps that fall outside Fifa's international dates.
Striker Sahil, meanwhile, needed six tries to clear the S.League's mandatory 2.4km test under 10 minutes before the 2014 season, and subsequently missed the Young Lions' first six games.
Stange said that he felt necessary to respond to what he thought was a blatantly lie by Aide. The former Hertha Berlin and Belarus coach hinted that he had more to say, but would reveal them only after the FAS exco meeting at the end of the month.
"A coach has every right to make mistakes," said Stange. "But if (Louis) van Gaal fails with Manchester United, he cannot put his finger on (club director) Sir Bobby Charlton."
He also brought up his failure in the Suzuki Cup, where the Lions were knocked out at the group stage.
"For example, at the Suzuki Cup, I have no right to say our team are not fit enough for 90 minutes and (fitness coach) Sasha Bozenko was responsible," he said. "If a goalkeeper slips up, I don't have the right to say the goalkeeper coach is responsible for that. It's impossible in football. Head coaches are responsible for all that happens."

Cook Tomatoes for Antioxidant Boost
- 13 Months ago
- 4.0
Truworth Wellness
Researchers have found that cooking tomatoes makes them healthier and boosts their cancer-fighting ability. While cooking tomatoes decreases the level of vitamin C in the fruit, it substantially increases the levels of beneficial compounds called phytochemicals. Heat processing enhanced the nutritional value of tomatoes by increasing the lycopene content, a phytochemical that makes tomatoes red. This can be absorbed by the body and also increases the total antioxidant activity. Antioxidants protect the human body from cell and tissue damage.

NEW DELHI — India accused Pakistani soldiers Tuesday of firing mortar shells across the dividing line in Kashmir in the first violation of a 14-month cease-fire between the South Asian nuclear-armed rivals.
The cease-fire was the longest since an insurgent campaign in the divided Himalayan province began in 1989. Both countries claim the mainly Muslim, former princely state in its entirety and have fought two wars over it.
A senior army official said there were no casualties on the Indian side, and Indian troops had not retaliated.
"It certainly is a violation of the cease-fire. This is the first time this has happened. We have exercised full restraint," Maj. Gen. Deepak Summanwar told the private NDTV news channel. "Seven to eight rounds of mortars were fired. All our patrols ... have been alerted."
Pakistan army spokesman Maj. Gen. Shaukat Sultan, speaking in the Pakistani capital of Islamabad, said he was not aware of the incident.
Pakistan fires back
The reports of firing came hours after another setback to the ties between the traditional South Asian rivals, which are now pursuing peace. Islamabad accused New Delhi of deliberately scuttling talks on a disputed dam that India is building on its side of Kashmir and appealed to the World Bank to help resolve the issue.
Pakistani Foreign Ministry spokesman Masood Khan said the dispute will cast a "bad light" on the peace dialogue.
For decades, India and Pakistan regularly fired at each other across the cease-fire line, killing soldiers and civilians and damaging homes and farmland. However, they agreed to a cease-fire in November 2003 along the disputed Kashmir frontier and international border.
Indian military officials in Kashmir said Tuesday's firing may have been carried out to provide cover to a batch of Islamic militants crossing into the Indian side of Kashmir from the Pakistan-controlled part of the Himalayan region.
Rebel campaign
Rebels based in Pakistan routinely cross over to India to wage attacks as part of their campaign to carve out a separate homeland or merge the Indian-controlled area into Pakistan. Five such rebels were killed Monday night in the mountainous Achhar sector, said B.D. Sharma, inspector general of the Border Security Force.
India accuses Pakistan of allowing militants to train in camps on its territory and supporting attacks that kill civilians, police and soldiers. Pakistan denies the allegations.
Nearly 66,000 people, mostly civilians, have died in the conflict.
Military officials in Jammu, the winter capital of Jammu-Kashmir state, said the firing took place just north of Punch town, about 150 miles northwest of Jammu at the army's Durga Post.
India and Pakistan are holding regular talks on a series of disputes that have haunted their relations since 1947, when British colonialists left the subcontinent and the new Islamic nation of Pakistan was carved out of Indian mainland.
They have since fought three wars, two of them over their rival claims over Kashmir.

Authors: Bhupendra Singh and Sanjib Choudhury
Abstract: In this paper, a product-cum-dual to ratio estimator has been proposed for estimating population mean of the study variate. The bias and mean square error of the proposed estimator are obtained. The asymptotically optimum estimators (AOEs) in this class are identified with its bias and mean square error. Conditions for the proposed estimator to be more efficient than the conventional estimators, dual to ratio estimator and dual to product estimator are investigated. An empirical study has also been carried out to judge the merits of the proposed estimator over the other estimators.
Keywords: Finite population mean; Auxiliary Variate; Product- cum-dual to ratio estimator; Bias; Mean square error; Efficiency.

Jane Stanbury follows in the footsteps of royalty, stars and historyThe Sofitel Legend Hotel brand is a limited edition There are less than a handful of these properties globally and I think their icon has to be The Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi. Built in 1901, it nestles in the Old Quarter of Hanoi, a short walk from the city's major historical and cultural landmarks.
It is the property that started the genre which places culture and art at the heart of any stay, offering a combination of refinement, pleasure and elegance, demonstrating the art of hospitality and service. The noble hotel professions of butler, housekeeping supervisor, golden key concierge, chauffeur, wine waiter, gourmet chef, pastry chef, barman are alive and well offering the excellence of a discreet, efficient and impeccable service.
The hotel accommodation comprises two conjoined wings, offering 364 rooms. The Metropole's historic wing features 106 guestrooms and 3 Legendary suites named after famous residents, Graham Greene, Somerset Maugham and Charlie Chaplin. The little comedian famously brought his wife's mother on his honeymoon with them in 1936.
The Opera wing, added in 2006, has 236 guestrooms and 19 suites. The magnificent 200sqm Grand Prestige Imperial Suite includes a spacious sitting room, a bedroom with adjoining guestroom, a private mini spa, two bathrooms, a giant tv screen and a large dining table decorated with original artwork by contemporary Vietnamese artists. It has its own private butler to serve high tea and evening cocktails. This suite is the choice of the world's royals, dignitaries, heads of government and Hollywood celebrities.
Other rooms in this wing have been individually furnished and decorated in a neo-classical style offering spacious bedrooms complemented by stylish bathrooms with claw-foot roll-top baths, walk-in shower, double sinks and discreet technology.
The Metropole wing was similarly refurbished taking great care to respect the historical features. The third and last phase was the creation of the Club Metropole, consisting of large Premium bedrooms and Prestige suites, a new conference centre, as well as a state-of-the-art So Fit health and fitness centre and an impressive Spa.
With its neoclassic architecture and up-to-the-minute technology, The Metropole's Conference and Business Centre comprises a number of meeting rooms named after famous Vietnamese places. Located on the ground floor and easily accessible from both wings of the hotel, it is open from 7am to 11pm. Its spaces include La Veranda, a splendid room with a view of the swimming pool and the luxuriant garden. About 200sqm, La Veranda can host receptions for up to 150 people. The Thang Long Room is the largest, accommodating up to 200 people. The smaller Dong Do Room is a beautiful and multi-functional space of 48sqm, the perfect setting for board meetings, committees and private dinners for up to 66 guests.
Away from business, the receptionists at Le Spa du Metropole welcome you with a refreshing hibiscus tea whilst establishing your preferred treatment oils and, refreshingly, your preferred type of music. There are private spaces for treatment, meditation and an opportunity to simply recharge in peace. The product range includes leading French brand Clarins and treatments tailored to each client. Bespoke packages can be created for guests seeking a specific result. Le Spa also features two themed spa suites for couples, three individual spa suites, a foot-massage room, steam bath and a sauna - providing an oasis of calm away from the motorbike-filled city streets.
On any steamy Hanoi afternoon, guests may step from the spa straight to the garden pool where pith-helmeted attendants tend to your every need. Towels, cocktails, refreshing fruit splashes, and an international wine list accompany a selection of bar snacks. Mouth-watering home-made ice cream is served at 2pm and 4pm each day, whilst a swim in the elegant, fountain-edged pool leaves the body refreshed.
For those seeking some European respite from the noodle bowl, the Restaurant Le Beaulieu has some of the finest French dining in the Indochina region. Steaks, lamb and fresh fish all feature La Terrasse retains a café style atmosphere and is the perfect place to sip a Jasmine tea whilst watching the world of Hanoi pass by.
Angelina, named after guest Angelina Jolie, is the hotel's Italian Restaurant and Lounge. It's a capital hot spot and for the nicotine addicts is a place where indoor smoking is allowed. The chameleon Le Club Bar housed in a garden conservatory is a lunch time brasserie that becomes Chocaholic heaven during the afternoon when a high tea serves savouries, cakes, macaroons and an extensive chocolate buffet. By evening it is the place for cocktails with an extensive menu of treats inspired by famous guests. My personal favourite was a martini inspired by Bond star Roger Moore. Live jazz performances accompany the classic cocktails, grand cru and whisky collection, an ideal location for a group gathering.
The hotel's Metropole School of cookery is an experience that starts with a stroll in the local market, accompanied by the Spices Garden Chef, to discover Vietnamese ingredients' flavours and secrets. This is followed by a cookery demonstration in the hotel kitchen where everyone plays an active role. After class, lunch is served in the Spices Garden Vietnamese restaurant to sample the different dishes prepared during the demonstration. There are several different themes on offer and programmes are very flexible in order to adapt to group schedules.
Inspiring a team is always a challenge but an afternoon spent with Duc Nguyen, the eloquent, inspiring Hotel History Ambassador, will demonstrate how everybody can pull together in the hardest of times. He leads guests on a journey through intricate details of the hotel's past. The roll call of guests features celebrities from all corners of the world and Duc explains that the hotel became a base for many embassies during the war, including Germany, Italy and Australia. During the American war pacifists Jane Fonda and Joan Baez used The Metropole as their base from which to highlight the plight of the US military. The most poignant part of the visit is to the hotel air raid bunker. As the bombs fell on Hanoi, guests and hotel employees hunkered down in the concrete shelter never knowing what they would find on departure.
Joan Baez recorded a portion of her album, 'Where are you now my son?' in the bunker and the recording still exists. As Duc starts the recording, goose bumps rise as the sounds of the bombs hitting the city provide the back ground to Baez's ballad to a mother who has lost her son. It is this potted history tour, combined with its legendary heritage and incredible attention to detail, that makes the Sofitel Metropole Hanoi much more than your average luxury hotel.

Where were we?
Oh yes, A Synopsis - Japan mid-thirties.
Afraid I'll have to go back a bit to southern Sweden and the small town of Höganäs. That is where Märta Greta-Stina Scwartz was born and grew up.
Her father was an accountant who worked for a slate maufacturing company. Since her parents did not have enough funds to put two girls through university, my aunt Ruth got the education. My mum, instead of becoming a doctor, became a nurse. In Upsala, where she trained, she learned a lot. On her first day on the surgical ward, the Ward Sister (politically slightly to the right of Atilla the Hun) despatched her to shave a young man who was having his appendix removed. She soaped him up and he, like any young guy would, got an errection. When he made a lewd comment my mother 'slapped it with a wet towel until it went down'. Tells you a bit about her – she was feisty.
In her mid-twenties, she met an airman called Bertil and after the old 'whirlwind' thing was set to marry the guy. He jilted her. Fed up, she replied to an advertisement to become the children's nurse to the Swedish Ambassador to Japan. On the way to Japan, she travelled widely with the family across Europe and Asia and America. I have pictures of her on a beach in Rio, at the Grand Canyon and in Honolulu. When she landed in Japan, she became part of a small ex-pat community - cigarettes and gin 'n tonics from what she told me.
It was in that small group she met a guy called 'Buzz' from Australia. I don't know his real name but that's what they called him. He was in love with her and she certainly had a romance with him until she met my father.
My parents met for the first time, sharing a taxi with some others, during a black-out (power-cuts were common in Tokyo). She was charmed by the guy. When the lights came on she figured he was really ugly. But he pursued her. He phoned, he 'bumped into her' and did what any guy worth his salt would do – refused to take no for an answer. They began dating and went to a different night-club every night they went out. They went out a lot and on each occasion they pinched a box of matches and wrote slushy notes to each other on each box. My sister has those boxes of matches still - about a hundred of them!
It was about this time my mother climbed Fujiyama. It was a four day trek, camping with a guide in the snow. Like I said, she was feisty. Then there were rumours of war. All non-Japanese had to leave the country including the Swedish ambassador, who was recalled. Martha and Bishwa had to part. She, returning to Sweden and he, to no known destination.
What happened next is for the next post.
Is this boring you? If so sign the guest book and let me know!

I had forgotten that someone else had already dug for treasure there before him.
Christian said he was hiding from me.
Then he went back to work.
I remember asking him what he was doing.
"I digging fo' gowd, mommy!"
"Did you find any?"
"Nope, just wocks!"
I want to write these memories down before they get muddy. Right now, I am so thankful for the clarity of certain days and special moments!
You know what? There is an even greater treasure than what Noah or Christian found on those days. There is an even greater treasure than these memories and photos that God has blessed me with.
This treasure is available to anyone and everyone. To receive it, one only has to confess that they are a sinner, turn from their sins (repent), believe that Jesus is the Son of God, and make Christ the Lord of their lives.
The greatest treasure is salvation through Jesus Christ!
But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. ~Matthew 6:20-21
Do you have everlasting treasure? Where does your heart lie?

Google, Ipsos and the Mobile Marketing Association recently administered global surveys in order to better understand mobile usage on a worldwide scale.
According to Search England Land, the companies pulled the data from an online survey of mobile consumers in 30 countries, as well as a telephone poll of 1,000 marketing decision makers with a focus in the U.S., U.K., Germany, France and Japan.
The data honed in on five categories of smartphone usage - penetration, behavior, activities, commerce and advertising.
In terms of penetration, it's clear that smartphones are becoming more common in the daily lives of shoppers, as the survey found that 79 percent of respondents use their devices for shopping purposes. Furthermore, seven out of 10 users turn on their phones while perusing for items in a store, proving that mobile has become an important part of the research and buying experience.
On a national level, researchers found that 31 percent of the U.S. population owns a smartphone, and 54 percent of Americans have been using one for less than a year. This proves that penetration isn't entirely universal, and smartphone use isn't quite as all-encompassing as marketers would have the general public believe.
Researchers also found that 69 percent of respondents use their phones to look up directions or maps. Search Engine Watch reports in a separate article that Google recently enhanced its Maps feature to highlight places a person has rated or reviewed on Google Places. Using this information, it also recommends additional places the system believes might be enjoyable based on previously shared ratings.
"These new features push forward Google's efforts to be a one-stop-shop for mobile, location-based searches," according to ReadWriteWeb. "From finding the restaurant to walking in the door, Google is building applications to compel smartphone users to use Google and only Google to find, shop and eat at local businesses."
In terms of local search, Google and Ipsos found that more than 50 percent of local searches on mobile devices result in follow-up actions. Of that total, 50 percent make a corresponding in-store purchase. Gigaom notes that mobile searches can be lucrative for retailers, as smartphone users spent a median of $300 on purchases over the last year through their phones.
Research also shows that mobile provides a new outlet for advertisers, as 71 percent of users said they conducted a search based on ad exposure, 82 percent noticed mobile ads and 30 percent reported responding to an ad by clicking on it or going to the site.

There are scholarly studies of Tewodros, the 19th-century king who carved an Ethiopian empire out of warring tribes and implacable landscape, into which he then drew Queen Victoria's army to fight an elaborate and expensive war; there are contemporary accounts; there are countless Ethiopian retellings that hail his patriotism and noble death, looking for something in his bloody reign of which to be proud. But, it seems, there has never been much in the way of full-scale attempts to understand Tewodros in all his tragic, quixotic, complicated glory. Philip Marsden is well placed to try. He has written about Ethiopia before - his first book was about his travels there, as was his most recent; he is both seduced by and thoughtfully critical of Ethiopia's rich, backward-gazing culture - and he knows a great story when he sees one.
Tewodros appeared in the Zemene Mesafint, the time of judges, when the Ethiopian highlands were riven by war and prince followed ineffectual prince in a self-destructive cycle of elevation and deposition. Only 12 when the monastery at which he was studying was attacked, he was forced to become an outlaw - and thus discovered his calling as a brilliant military leader. By the 1850s, he had defeated all putative kings and crowned himself emperor of more land than any other Ethiopian leader before him. He had a larger vision, too: to make this new empire function as one peaceful entity and to make contact with the outside world, especially Europe. It was vastly ambitious, especially for a man whose great gifts and ideals were matched by faults as great; who came to fear, with good reason, that he was going mad.
Early in his reign Tewodros met two adventurous young Britons, Walter Plowden and John Bell. Both were killed by rebel leaders, and Plowden was replaced as British consul by Charles Duncan Cameron, disaffected, unsympathetic and reluctant. The British had a desultory interest in trade, and a foothold on the Red Sea; what Tewodros wanted from Europe were ideas and guns, and the support of Christian governments against the Muslim armies who threatened him. It took about two years for the British to reply to Cameron (not to Tewodros himself) with a terse refusal. So Tewodros imprisoned Cameron. Cameron wrote desperately to the India Office; Tewodros's letter was unearthed and finally an answer was sent with an envoy, Hormuzd Rassam, who was accompanied by a soldier and a doctor, and charged with rescuing Cameron. Though initially friendly, the increasingly distrustful and paranoid Tewodros imprisoned Rassam too.
Already mercurial and capricious, Tewodros became unable to control rages that could result, for instance, in the slaughter of 7,000 prisoners of war. Yet it is both Marsden's achievement and a measure of Tewodros's charisma, reported by all who met him, that we maintain a horrified sympathy with an insecure, embattled king desperately searching for allies and personal peace, but unable to see how to achieve his goals except through violence.
Eventually, five years after Cameron's arrival in the Ethiopian court, and 20 since Plowden had first persuaded Britain to open diplomatic relations, Lieutenant-General Sir Robert Napier, military commander-in-chief of India, was dispatched to sort out Tewodros. As Marsden points out, in effect Napier took 64,000 people (including 12,000 fighting men), tens of thousands of mules and 44 elephants across the Red Sea and into the Ethiopian highlands in a £9m campaign to rescue one man.
By this time the emperor was losing control of the lands he had conquered: 30,000 men waited to attack from the cliffs; an army was marching from Shoa; the Egyptians - and now Napier - were encroaching. So he fell back to Meqdela, a flat-topped mountain fastness, taking with him his court, his army, and Sevastopol, a large bell-shaped cannon. He had to carve a road for it out of the mountains; it took five and a half months, and amazed the British forces when they eventually caught up with him. Napier assailed the 45-degree slopes of Meqdela on Good Friday, 1868.
Tewodros knew how to deal with matchlocks, and his men could not be faulted for their bravery, but the British had new guns, which did not need pauses for reloading. Tewodros had to admit defeat. He released his captives, sending them on their way with heartfelt tears; Rassam especially he considered a friend. "Surely," he said, "it is peace now." But he was tricked. Napier had made a deal with the encroaching warlords, so although technically he had only come to release the captives, he had promised the warlords regime change. Tewodros denied him the pleasure. In a scene every Ethiopian schoolchild learns to picture, he put a gun to his mouth and fired. Napier's forces took so much booty - filigree crowns, vellum manuscripts (350 were bought by the British Museum, which had sent a representative), silver crosses - that 15 elephants and 200 mules were needed to carry it.
In a tale of such extremes, Marsden keeps his head, letting massacre and vulnerability speak largely for themselves. Despite what must have been a distinct temptation, he does not caricature. He separates, for example, attitudes to the Ethiopians according to individual personality: Rassam initially thought them "a lazy, indolent race" because they refused to take messages for him; a soldier who accompanied him, however, thought them "fine, powerful fellows with well-knit limbs and excellent horsemen"; quietly he shows how racist assumptions about Africans had to change when actual encounter brought respect.
The book suffers a little from the fact that most of the written records and diaries are British - thus the private Tewodros appears only in flashes; his emotions and the perspective of his Ethiopian followers are often frustratingly absent. Of his final days and battles, however, there is so much documentation that they seem thrillingly, tensely immediate; his end, surrounded by just five followers, is as moving as either he or his biographer could wish.

How much does a promise count?
The TrudeauMeter gives us the following stats – Trudeau has been in office for 394 days, has not even started 90 of 223 things he promised to do; has achieved 37 of his 223 promises; and has broken 28 of his commitments to those that elected him.
Quite the scorecard!
I wonder what my scorecard as CEO of Immersion Lab would look like? Or for that matter … yours? I'm sure I have delivered on many commitments, failed miserably on others and haven't started a million things I thought were merit-worthy ideas.
But does it really matter? How does one judge the success of a leader? Is it her ability to follow through on prior commitments made? Is it his agility to flex as the situation requires? Is it the ability to be in the very tumultuous moment, applying common-sense and judgement while holding new information in balance with previously held ideas?
Fundamentalists would argue honouring your commitments is King – delivering on your promises trumps everything. Pragmatists would value the in-the-moment judgement – there is a certain beauty in being able to process at speed and pivot on new information and situations. But I would argue that the good leader has a True North as their compass. A set of values, beliefs, mindset and fundamental ideas that shape and guide everything else. And in some way these are tangible – they make that leader's actions and choices coherent and obvious to all. So the reaction isn't "he or she changed and let us down" but "he or she changed and of course that makes sense".
So what is that thing that would give leaders this latitude to flex their promises as needed in a fast-changing environment and not end up disillusioning their supporters or pleasing their antagonists? How do they articulate their True North – that lens against which decisions will be made? And in a way that everyone understands and can make sense of.
I think about this as we watch very powerful individuals flip flop on matters that gravely affect our future and wonder what their True North is. And how might we develop leaders who can articulate their True North and be agile in the moment?

Tucson restaurant: OM
OM is Tucson's newest taste sensation. Its tagline is modern Asian kitchen. You won't find any lettuce wraps or fried eggroll here and that's a good thing.
But what you will find is exciting flavors that linger in your mind days after eating the fine food. OM is the kind of experience that friends tweet about or send teasing photos through their Blackberries reflecting the magical nuances of first bites.
I like to disclose. In today's screwed up political landscape, let's be transparent. Myself and other food media types and VIPs were invited to an OM tasting. Who did I recognize? Let's see there was Tucson Guide, Tucson Lifestyle, Circle of Food, Tucson on the Cheap, and Tucson Food Dude to name a few of the most important plus a chef/restaurateur and his entourage from a Midtown boite.
Who was that woman wearing a silver metallic mini dress and strappy silver shoes? She looked positively Hollywood-ish and ignited the stark, monochromatic decor with flash and dash.
But enough about the people and their fashion or lack there of, let's talk about the food.
We tasted many samples. Some of my favorites included the five-spice pork sliders. I previously thought the sliders at the Dove Mountain Ritz Carlton were the best but move over as now the five spices awakened my senses along with a separate side of sesame fries with ginger wasabi aioli.
A parade of sushi and sashimi rolled to and from the table as well as trays passed by busy waitstaff asking if we wanted to taste this and that. Yes, we did. Everything was fresh and perfect.
For entrees we shared the grilled shrimp chop salad with Yuzu sake vinaigrette. All four of us (a database programmer/outstanding cook, bartender/yoga instructor, food/travel/pet writer & author, and myself-writer/greyhound activist) applauded the refreshing flavor of the citrusy Yuzu paired with shrimp, cucumbers, and tomatoes. Everyone liked the wok-tossed udon noodles but nobody remembered exactly what flavors were in the subtle dish.
It's possible nobody remembered because we consumed many glasses of really good champagne, a bottle of 2009 Lapostolle "Casa" Sauvignon Blanc (Napa Valley), and a bottle of 2008 Shoofly Shiraz, McLaren Flat, South Australia. The two writers stopped drinking at some point but our guests did not.
But back to the food, glorious, modern Asian food…the chicken rice beheld pan-roasted chicken, ginger rice, and classic ginger condiments from Malaysia. The OM spicy pork loin is said to be a signature dish and what makes this dish so unusual is the lemongrass risotto and dash of chili sauce.
Although I liked them all very much, my favorite aside from the shrimp salad is the ginger marinated beef tenderloin with sesame mashed potatoes, broccolini, and shitake demi-glace. All the flavors melded together like an apex of adulation.
My compliments to the chefs. John Kujundzich, executive chef of OM, recently came from the AAA Four Diamond-awarded Hotel ZaZa in Houston, Texas, to oversee OM's kitchen. Since arriving in Tucson, he has been integrating seasonal flavors to the menu along with sushi chef Yuki Watabe, who has worked at Benihana and Sakura and owned Yuki Sushi.
Other menu items that pique my interest but have yet to be eaten are Sapporo braised beef short ribs, XO shrimp & scallops with Mandarin fried rice and roasted mushrooms, shrimp and yellow curry bisque, lamb samosas, soft & crispy duck salad and more, more, more.
"We are taking a modern approach to Asian cuisine," said owner Allen Yap. "At OM, we're blending distinct and vibrant flavors of Southeast Asia, while using classic French techniques and presenting them with a distinctive, contemporary flair." And it works!
OM is located in the former Neo of Melaka location on 1765 E. River Road and is open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily and until 1 a.m. on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. OM also has a progressive happy hour menu, offering specials on sushi, starters, beer, wine, and featured cocktails under $5, daily from 3 to 6 p.m. and on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. Hooray for late night dining, a Tucson rarity.

We are in the process of selecting and moving over to a new ERP system. I have been with this company for 19 years and we have used our current system (M2M) for 18 of those years.
My question is... Once the migration takes place and the licensing runs out for the old software, are you still able to utilize the front end? I know we will have access to the data itself via SQL server, but what if a normal user wants to look at something in the software? Can they still access without renewing our licenses?
Thanks for any insight.
Former M2M user here.
They do not brick your front end of M2M once you stop paying for support. Licensing does not "run out", you are just paying for support and upgrades. Once you stop paying you get no support or upgrades is all. We haven't paid for support for many years and can still use our old M2M just fine. We only have it around for historical stuff.

Flextechs is an IT service provider.
Check with the manufacturer to be certain.
Typically, support runs out but the licenses are perpetual so it keeps functioning.
If your licenses require renewal and they run out, I could only assume, from experience, that the "front end" would stop functioning for users.
Again though, check with the manufacturer.
Are you back feeding all historical data from your old ERP to the new? If not then you would want to still be able to access the data for historical look ups. As mentioned most times the software is perpetual which means you can still use the program however the support and version updates etc are no longer supported.
We are only going to pull in about 1 to 2 years of data into the new system. We haven't upgraded in years since we have customization and if you upgrade you have to pay $$ to have them built again. I'm hoping it is perpetual and I'm trying to search their knowledgebase for answers but it's down for "maintenance"... LOL
I've taken our ERP software we use at our company through 3 large-scale upgrades, each deployed in a new environment. So this doesn't completely coincide with your scenario as we stayed with the same software company, rather than migrating from one ERP to another ERP like you are. However perhaps this insight helps.
With our ERP licensing, as others have stated the licensing remains intact, the old product is fully functional after an upgrade, or migration to a different product. The only thing we would miss out on if we stopped paying the annual maintenance renewal fees is support and upgrades. As others have stated and from what I've seen, this is common for ERP software. Support likely wouldn't be needed, since you're moving to a new ERP, and the same goes for upgrades.
Like others have said, check with your ERP vendor to confirm all of this, but I think you'll be ok there.
One tidbit of advice, I cannot overstate the importance of this: keep your current ERP environment—or at least a functional copy of it—intact. You will be surprised as how heavily this is used in the first year especially; for historical lookups, first year year-end, tax filings, sales tax reporting, etc. I should clarify that we "left behind" a lot of data in our previous versions before the upgrades (we were taking advantage of the upgrade event to do housekeeping on the database). So our older environment had a lot of historical data that we did not bring over with the upgrade, bringing more importance to the functional copy of the previous environment.
Even if you're bringing over every last bit of data into your new ERP, I would bet it would be worth your time to take a snapshot to VM of your current environment for future "just in case" use.
