Long overdue - no wifi
... prints -I now understand the attraction - she's a marvel! We were on our way to their recommended restaurant, when one of their staff members , who recognised us, redirected us to "The Main St" which he said had much better food. Ken was immediately suspicious, but it was a very fortuitous tip. The restaurant's owner was on holiday, and his brother Francisco was filling in. Francisco is an archaeologist currently working on a very large dig in ...
Grounded day 1
... along the shore, etc. Julia took a dance lesson with the local entertainment crew and both of us participated in the morning exercises in the pool.
In the evening we went to an Italian restaurant (included in the price of the vacation). The food was OK, but nothing special. It was at least better than the regular buffet ...
What a week (pt 2)- cancun
... get into 2 clubs with an open bar. We had to pay $75 each to get them but **** it we were in cancun and that will never happen again. It was kind of annoying because unless you tipped the bar tender they more or less would t serve you, pretty ****. There was 2 clubs, the city and Mandela, the city was better for sure and boy was it a big club. It was like a stadium in there, out of control. Balloons, smoke machines and a **** load of people. There was like ...
Day Dos - Douchebag got Douched!
... Tonight they have a Talent Show and Karaoke Night at the Colonial theatre so we figure we will have dinner and hang out on the Colonial side tonight. We stop by our front desk, where Jesus insists on Sabrina speaking to him in Spanish (she did good, made me proud), and the Concierge asks us if we are married. No we're not. "Oh you are getting married here then?"... That's when I notice our resort bracelet is white with gold letters, while the majority of the others ...
Day Uno - Plane, Hotel, Action!
... LOT of meat this week :) Compared to the people on the plane (where we were by far the youngest ones), there are a lot of kids in their 20s on the resort. And they are loud. And a bit obnoxious. Oh ****, they are from Spain. Must be Spanish Spring Break or something... Two guys are wearing make-up and skirts and... are clearly uber drunk. They change table 6 times, always around us though, and bump into other tables every time they get up to get more food. Who knew I would be ...

Singapore: Capital gains
Article 13 of the agreement provides source state taxing rights over gains arising to a resident of either the United Kingdom or Singapore from the disposal of immovable property, as defined in Article 6 (Article 13(1)). This does not affect the rights of the residence state to tax the gains as well.
Where a resident of one of the countries disposes of shares (other than shares traded on an approved Stock Exchange) deriving at least three-quarters of their value directly or indirectly from immovable property situated in the other country, any gain arising may similarly be taxed in both countries if their respective domestic laws permit (Article 13(2)).

Category: The Hub
It's Not About Words. It's About Risk
Every day we talk to companies about their enterprise contract management systems, and every day I hear substantially the same thing. Help us automate the drafting of our contracts and we'll be all set.
Contract Management is not about business process efficiency. Sure, you can be more efficient by using a template system, but contract management is really about risk. What's in your contracts is more important than what's on the paper.
The reason many contract management programs struggle is that they fail to deal with the elephant in the room; legacy contracts represent the current risk view, not future contracts. Without addressing your legacy contract assets, you're not addressing the areas of risk most likely to jump up and bite you.
Unfortunately, most contract management systems focus on document automation and workflow. While companies need these things, they are often the most difficult to implement because they represent change- change in both processes and organizations- and they can be VERY expensive.
That's why we developed the Contracts Hub. The Hub gives you the ability to store, report and analyze your legacy contracts regardless of how they were created. Once you have that mastered, you'll be able to see the areas of risk in your contract assets. That's step one in our maturity index. The Hub is cloud-based for easy implementation, fixed price for both implementation and number of contracts so it's easy to budget for. The end-user reports are pre-built so a user can be viewing contract data in less than an hour of training.
Make your life easier. Start where the risk is greatest- and the value.

What's Your ROR?
Lots of people talk about Return on Investment, ROI. They also say that the bigger the risk, the bigger the reward. So what's your Return on Risk?
Most people view risk as a bad thing, but calculated risk can be very rewarding. Without big risks, there would be no great leaps forward. I recently worked with a company that would cut down a project into four management chunks rather than doing it as one big project that would take at least three years. Not all 4 month efforts took 4 months, but at the end of three years they had accomplished more than any one big project had.
What is the risk of an enterprise contract lifecycle management (CLM) project? It's mostly has to do with changing behavior. The high degree of business process re-engineering makes people uncomfortable. That's one of the reasons we think of CLM as a journey; you should start with the highest value/lowest risk component. That's why we developed the Contracts Hub. It's a relatively small step in terms of behavioral change, but will give you significant benefits. It gives you one place to store and analyze your contracts. It's SaaS based and totally secure. And you can starting seeing results in a few weeks, not years. Small steps that lead to measurable results ease the journey and the risk.
Risk is for daredevils. You need results.

Contract Certainty: It's What We Do
- Deep conditionality and complex business flows. Many of our clients think their contracts are in good shape and straightforward until they dig deeper and get better insight into how their documents are actually drafted, negotiated and approved.
- General document quirks. When automating documents everything becomes a lot more dynamic. What was a simple list, cross-reference or numbering scheme now needs to handle a variety of different conditional possibilities.
- Handling counter party paper. Even when you have your creation and management processes under control, eventually you'll hit agreements that were not drafted your way or using your terms.
With the right tools these very tough problems disappear. And when they disappear, contracting and business processes improve and require less money and time making lawyers, business-people and clients alike very happy. Exari Hub gets you organised and on the road to understanding your contracts and negotiating processes. Exari Contracts takes the next step and allows you to control everything from creation right through to signature and archive. Come learn what we mean by contract certainty and why we're pretty happy with what we became when we grew up.
*Editor's note: This statement has some notable exceptions; automating contracts ultimately lowers the costs of legal work for clients making it more accessible. In a world where the average consumer or small business may struggle to afford necessary legal work, we believe that any measure that reduces the cost of access to the law is a noble pursuit. How's that for a dinner party spiel?
I'd love to hear from you at @liptonj or leave a note in the comments.

The 5 Scariest Questions Your CEO Could Ask About Your Contracts, Pt. 2
Welcome back for installment two of The 5 Scariest Questions Your CEO Could Ask About Your Contracts, based off our recent webinar of the same name. In Part 1, we detailed the first three situations in which not knowing your contracts inside and out could make you shake in your boots: 1) an M&A event 2) a rogue vendor and 3) an MFN clause. Let's dive into the rest.
The Data Breach
"Why is the Times calling me for a comment on a data breach of one of our biggest vendors? They would've told us about that, right?"
This unpleasant question will make you scramble for a complete picture of your relationship with the vendor. You'll need to find out if your contracts impose on them meaty and timely disclosure requirements so as to determine if their apparent non-disclosure puts them in breach.
Seeing as your business' and clients' sensitive information may be compromised by a breach of a vendor, you will also need to have an immediate and comprehensive understanding of your disclosure obligations to all of your customers. Which events require you to disclose what, to whom, and within what timeframe? Did you make promises to customers that have already – albeit unknowingly – been broken?
Companies often believe that implementing comprehensive cyber security protocol internally is enough to protect themselves from the many liabilities that stem from a hack or data breach, forgetting the exposure caused by third party vendors.
The Risk Riddle
"What are the 10 riskiest contracts and what are we doing to manage that risk?"
This is a riddle indeed, as it may seem easy enough to answer but it turns out you need more than just an educated guess to answer with certainty. Your CEO probably does not want a vague, opinion-based, "it depends," which doesn't instill a high degree of confidence and, frankly, looks lazy. So how would you go about reassuring the CEO that their risk and legal experts have a handle on the riskiest contracts ?
To start, you'd need an accurate, high-quality, objective way to measure contractual risk across your contract portfolio. You may intellectually and instinctively know which vendor or customer relationships wave red flags (that Caracas-based company, perhaps?), but your contract language may tell a different story. If you do not have a way to assess risk embedded in contract language, there's a good chance those high-risk contracts are not receiving the attention they require. And if you can't articulate risk measurements when asked by the CEO, you're essentially neglecting your responsibility as a legal or compliance officer to be on top of your risk. In other words, this little question may in fact be the scariest of them all, as it exposes not only your business risk, but your own weakness.
So what to do? Here are a few general rules to follow:
- Deal with early termination risk ahead of time; due diligence is too late
- The devil is in the details in strategic contract relationships – keep an eye on gaps
- Beware the MFN – it amplifies bad pricing unless very carefully managed
- Don't wait for a crisis to manage risk; be proactive
But how, you ask? You're right, it's probably impossible to remember the precise details of every pricing and disclosure clause, to monitor every vendor and partner, and to monitor all your risk.
The one tried-and-true way to gain control and visibility over your contract portfolio is to invest in contract management software that organizes and reports on contract data so the answers to your CEO's scariest questions are just a few clicks away.
The best software on the market today is the Hub™, an out-of-the-box solution that allows users to store, organize, access and report on the content of and risk in all of their contracts in one central place.
Answer the CEO with Speed and Certainty
Imagine your boss were to ask you one of the five scariest questions this afternoon. Let's take the one about the most favored nation clauses. You know you have to identify the worst pricing you've ever granted along with any price variation and discounts included in the agreement. With the Hub, it's as easy as opening Exari Hub to the main dashboard:
You can then search for all the contracts with Most Favored Nation clauses, adding filters (such as geography, value, etc.) as you require. With the Hub, what may have been a desperate hunt for contract data becomes a simple click and search.
To learn more about the Hub, read the data sheet, visit our website or contact one of our sales reps for a conversation or to schedule a demo.

An accurate appraisal of the current situation (strengths, concerns, and general conditions) of a community's population A collection of secondary and first hand information and data from a wide range of relevant sources and audiences 17 What is a Community Needs Assessment? A process for: identifying needs and resources in a community determining gaps between what a situation is and what it should be establishing priorities An opportunity to paint a picture of the conditions in a community and sharpen your perceptions of the critical issues children and families face 18 Why Identify Needs and Resources? Better understand the community in which you will be working Become aware of needs and concerns you never knew about Locate hidden strengths or underutilized resources that could be developed Document need Make sure future actions are aligned with expressed community needs 19 Why Identify Needs and Resources? Garner greater support and involve more people in subsequent action Give voice to individuals in the community who have not traditionally been solicited for comment Convince outside funders and supporters Make decisions based on priorities and documented needs 20 Planning and Implementing the Assessment Step 1: Involve stakeholders Establish working group to guide the planning and implementation of Community Needs Assessments 21 Planning and Implementing the Assessment Step 2: Determine the Objectives and Outcomes of the Assessment What are you really interested in knowing? Your questions will flow from this. What is your vision? How will you use the information obtained? Which issues, questions, and behaviors are of particular interest? What don't you know about these issues? What questions do you need to answer? 22 Planning and Implementing the Assessment Step 3: Identify secondary data sources Find out what outside resources can be used What public reports exist (examples of sources: census data, vital statistics, CPS reports) – Have other studies been done? Are there experts in the community who can help you? 23 Planning and Implementing the Assessment (cont) Step 4: Choose your approach/ approaches for gathering new information Most common approaches: Key informant interviews Focus groups Public forums Surveys 24 Planning and Implementing the Assessment When making your choice of approach, take into account: Purpose of the study Amount of time you have and number of people assisting you Available resources Size and characteristics of target population Relationship you have with target population "The quality of information about a community is only as good as the technique or combination of techniques used. A single technique may be too narrow; using too many techniques may be costly in terms of time and dollars. Different techniques are appropriate for different needs. Analyze the situation and then weigh the advantages and disadvantages. Sometimes a combination of techniques will provide a more reasonable picture." (Butler and Howe, 1980) 25 Planning and Implementing the Assessment Key Informant Interviews Purpose = to collect information from those in the community who are in a prime position to know the needs facing the community How to implement = compile a list of participants, create protocol, make appointments (either telephone or inperson), gather data, identify common themes 26 Planning and Implementing the Assessment Key Informant Interviews Advantages Easy and not expensive Can discuss confidential issues more readily Establishes rapport and trust with community Permits clarification of issues and ideas Disadvantages May be difficult to schedule May provide a biased perspective Only represents perceptions – not hard data Personal relationships may influence outcomes Should be combined with other methods because may not represent whole community 27 Planning and Implementing the Assessment Focus Groups Purpose = to collect information from those in the community who are in a prime position to know the needs facing the community How to implement = compile a list of participants, decide on location, create protocol, invite participants (think about food and baby sitting if necessary), use facilitator and documenter, organize and identify common themes 28 Planning and Implementing the Assessment Focus Groups Advantages Easy and not expensive Establishes rapport and trust with community members Permits clarification of issues and ideas Easily combined with other techniques Disadvantages May provide biased perspectives Only represents perceptions – not hard data Sharing opinions and views in a group setting may be inhibiting Should be combined with other methods because may not represent whole community 29 Planning and Implementing the Assessment Public forums Purpose = elicit information from a wide range of residents in a series of public meetings How to implement = develop list of invitees, create list of questions, select strategically located venue (use different sites and hold at different times), publicize, use facilitator and documenter, identify common themes 30 Planning and Implementing the Assessment Public forums Advantages: Get opinions from a wide range of people Promotes active involvement, community awareness, and buy-in Inexpensive, quick picture of community Disadvantages: Requires good leadership Opinions limited to those who attend Lots of advance planning May generate more questions than answers May create unrealistic expectations 31 Planning and Implementing the Assessment Surveys Purpose = collect information from a wide range of respondents How to implement = find or create carefully developed instrument and administer through a sampling procedure (may be face to face, personal distribution and collection, self-administered in a group, telephone, mailed), analyze results 32 Planning and Implementing the Assessment Surveys Advantages Best approach for eliciting attitudes of broad range of individuals Data usually valid and reliable Disadvantages Costly and requires time and expertise Needs carefully selected tool and sampling Subject to misinterpretation Individuals may hesitate to answer questions 33 Planning and Implementing the Assessment Planned Approach to Community Action (PATCH) – developed by CDC – effective model for planning, conducting, and evaluating community health promotion and disease prevention programs – Used by diverse communities in US and other nations to address health concerns – PATCH Guide for local coordinator has sample surveys and data collection tools – Web site www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/path/index.htm 34 Planning and Implementing the Assessment Step 5: Implement Plan Collect secondary data Collect primary data (conduct interviews, focus groups, surveys, etc) Analyze secondary and primary data Summarize findings 35 Planning and Implementing the Assessment Step 5: Implement Plan Prepare report Share with working group, interpret data and develop recommendations together Present to external stakeholders as needed Create action plan 36 Review Anytown's Needs Assessment Document 37 Project Work Plan and Design Example from Chicago SBHC Convened a planning committee of key community stakeholders who met regularly to oversee and guide the process Gathered existing data U.

Consent form should include: – Services to be offered – Statement about confidentiality /HIPAA – Billing issues – Statement about the relationship between the sponsoring organization and any collaborators including the school district Review state statutes regarding age of consent for various health care services 46 Confidentiality Confidential versus nonconfidential services Access to confidential services Release of information Providing follow-up information to school personnel and outside agencies Informing students of confidentiality procedures and limits of confidentiality 47 Nut and Bolt #3 Funding for SBHCs 48 Maslow's Hierarchy of Need It's hard to focus on best practice standards when your needs are rooted in basic survival.

Learn More About Our Fluorescent Linear Light Bulbs
Fluorescent lighting is popular for both commercial and home settings because of the large amount of light that it provides as well as its money and energy-saving potential. A T4 light bulb, for example, uses far less electricity than a standard incandescent light bulb, and it creates a well-lit area for work or play. T4 bulbs are standard in many fixtures, and it is always good to have one or more on hand when it is time to replace them.
Our bulb selection includes a variety of wattages and lighting types. You can choose a low-wattage T4 light bulb with soft white lighting to create a nice atmosphere in an office or home setting. Should you have a retail establishment that requires greater illumination, we recommend T4 bulbs that have a higher wattage. Either way, you will find the fluorescent light bulbs that are perfect for your specific need.
TIP: Did your T12 get the shaft? Back in 2012, the T12 fluorescent light bulb was phased out as part of the U.S. Department of Energy's quest to improve energy efficiency standards. Did you know that you can replace a T12 fluorescent lamp with a more efficient T8? Just make sure to replace the T12's magnetic ballast with the appropriate T8 electronic ballast.

I eagerly awaited your review of the Epson 750HD. Although I understand your reason for limiting your viewing to 60 inches I was surprised that you did.
Two days prior to your review I experienced the most impressive 3D I have ever seen. I watched several SBS video clips including Avatar and the Avengers. My setup was simple: a stacked pair of HW300T projectors, two pair of 3D glasses (from watching Avatar and the Avengers), a HTPC, and a metallic painted piece of foam board. I balanced the colour by offsetting the strengths of each device: the screen had a blue bias, one projector was green biased and the other red biased. The colour was stunning. The gray/silver in the screen increased the contrast. Outdoor scenes were simply mesmerizing.
The 3D experience simply blew away all my 3D movie experiences. As impressed as I was, I still felt like I was lacking the full 3D effect. The most convenient foam board that I could find to use was 40x60 inches or about 70 inches (My prior screen was 30x40 inches with very poor contrast). I could never get completely engrossed in the 3D experience because it felt like I was looking at events through a hole in my wall. I was also constantly aware of scene changes because the depth of feel changed radically.
This last point surprised me. In 2D films, I constantly watch cameras switch from actor to actor as dialog changes. That is not very distracting but in 3D I found my self annoyed when close-up dialog scenes switched to wide action scenes because the 3D depth changed drastically.
Have you noticed the same effect (distracting changes in 3D depth of feel) when you review 3D material? If so what size image were you watching?
I also noticed that crosstalk seemed to be a function of how close I was to the screen. The closer I was to the screen the more crosstalk I saw. I saw the same effect on a LG 3D TV.
Another item I would like to mention is that in building my 3D system, I created a very high gain screen (using the flipside of the foam board but with more layers of spray paint). I created even more compelling 3D images but the down side was the grainy picture (your screen article warned about high gain screens). I loved the brighter picture but I could not handle the graininess.
I decided to use the lower gain screen (one layer of paint). My best guess is that the viewing angle of my screen dropped dramatically at about 30 degrees in 2D. Since my 3D was dimmer from the start it seemed that my viewing angle doubled before I noticed much dimming. At that point there was little change in the 3D effect.
If you do get a chance could you comment on 3D on the 750HD with a 120 inch image?
Thanks for the review.

Emil Ghuri
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Emil Ghoury)
Emil Ghuri (Arabic: إميل الغوري, alternatively spelled Emil Ghoury) (1907–1984), a Palestinian Christian, was Secretary of the Arab Higher Committee (AHC), the official leadership of the Arabs in the British Mandate of Palestine.[1] He was also the general secretary of the Palestine Arab Party.
In May 1947 Ghuri was nominated by the AHC as a member of its delegation to represent it before the United Nations in its special session for Palestine.[citation needed] Other people nominated for this delegation were Jamal al-Husayni, Henry Cattan, Wasef Kamal, Issa Nakhleh, Rasem Khalidi.
After the death of Abd al-Qadir al-Husayni on 8 April 1948, Haj Amin al-Husayni gave the command of the Army of the Holy War to Ghuri.

I got color 200 Bare Naked -- which I like quite a bit.
But what I really like is the short rounded brush that applies in one stroke on my narrower nails, and in two on the thumbs. And then it evens out very nicely & dries quickly.
It promises 'Up to 10 days": the last time I used it, I got bored with counting around about day 6-7 -- but it still looked pretty good, so I count that as a win.
Opi is my HG, but when I don't feel like spending $8+, Rimmel is what I'm looking for next.

I ordered Direct E-Cig for my mother because she has emphysemia and she needs to quit smoking. I received my confirmation email on December 23, received a phone call on Christmas Eve regarding my order, was told the cost and that I had 14 days to let them know whether I wanted to continue or not. My mother did not get her order until January 5th, we had a death in the family and I could not get to my mothers to help her to interpret the instructions until almost a week later. By this time my account was debited for the $109 and some change. I feel they did not fully make me aware of how this was going down, I had seen the article on MSNBC who had in my opinion endorsed the product but should have made the consumer more aware of the technicalities. I feel that if my Mother had actually liked the product I would not be complaining except for the sneaky way in which Direct E-Cig gets your money whether you are satisfied or not. I now have 3 days to post mark the product back to Direct E-Cig and God only knows if my account will ever be rectified for the cost.

Electra, Hedda, Medea, Mother Courage and now the mother of Jesus himself – Fiona Shaw has played some of theatre's greatest, and most tragic, female roles. But the Irish actor, born into a Catholic family in 1950s County Cork, wasn't always known for her seriousness.
As she wrote recently in the Guardian, Fiona made her name as a series of wise-cracking Shakespearean heroines during the 80s: "I associated acting with entertainment, with being able to turn a line on a sixpence and make people laugh."
A regular at both the Royal Shakespeare Company and the National Theatre where she makes 18th- and 19th-century comedies sizzle again, she also has a surprisingly varied screen career, ranging from Three Men and a Little Lady to My Left Foot and, of course, her recurring role as Petunia Dursley in the Harry Potter franchise.
Currently appearing in Colm Tóibín's The Testament of Mary at the Barbican – Michael Billington gave five stars to her "extraordinary" many-sided performance – Fiona joined us for a live webchat about her career...

Best Of :: Arts & Entertainment
Landlordland used to be that weird indie-pop band that didn't fit in with the other indie-pop bands. The act had a little too much rock and roll in its blood, and its use of samples seemed to be at odds with its more conventionally melodic brethren. As a result, the group's live shows sometimes came off a little stilted and messy. Then one night last November, Landlordland cast off its awkwardness and played with a glorious disregard for its own safety, creatively and emotionally. With a newer rhythm section consisting of Ben Williams on bass and Jed Kopp behind the kit, the band emerged from its artistic cocoon with a fury -- kinda like a power-pop Blues Brothers, with Sylas Cooley as John Belushi and Darren Dunn as a not-at-all-inhibited Dan Aykroyd. It was one of the most intense and electrifying performances in recent years.
Rockbar could inspire a confirmed teetotaler to do a swan dive off the wagon within ten minutes of walking through the door. Conjuring the bygone decadence left behind by Perry's -- as the joint was known during the last days of disco -- Rockbar is the ideal place to relive your wasted youth. The decor in this late-'70s time-capsule remains pristinely intact, with exposed rock walls, patterned carpet, foil wallpaper and vintage lighting fixtures. There's also a notable kitsch factor about the place -- the trashy menu, the lowbrow drink selection (Mad Dog and brands of beer you swore you'd never drink again), the neon band-logo signage and the retro tuneage -- that has prompted some detractors to grumble that the brashness is a little too calculated. These people are completely missing the point. For those about to Rock, we salute you.
Recently witnessed at the Horseshoe Lounge: Avery Rains, aka Mr. Pacman, dressed in a full-bodied lion suit, head and paws included, stripping down to a very skimpy and curiously bulged pink thong. True fucking story. Unfortunately, this was a one-off birthday-party gig and not a weekly event, but it does prove how superbly awesome the Horseshoe is for allowing such hilarious debauchery. Outfitted with comfy stools, two booths, a couple of couches, a pool table and a dartboard, the bar is lounge-tastic and tailored for intimate gatherings with good friends. And if you get lucky, maybe Rains will be there and you can entice him into strutting his stuff just for you.
At first blush, the Lure is a swank place. Almost too swank. Hang out there for a while, though, and you start to realize that it's pretty relaxed. Like that really hot blonde in high school that you yearned to talk to but couldn't muster up the courage, there's more to the joint than meets the eye. Remember when you finally got the stones to talk to her and found out that she was into Hunter S. Thompson and dug Tom Waits? Yeah, the Lure is surprisingly cool like that. Instead of being greeted by some huge meathead at the door, the first thing you see is a gang of smiling ladies behind the bar. It's like a grown-up version of the famed City Spirit, which used to inhabit this spot nearly a decade ago.
Arvada's answer to a Colfax dive bar, 12 Volt Tavern has all the grit and attitude of the city -- without the Colfax freaks. Plopped down in the middle of Olde Town Arvada, the Tavern may seem out of place among its better-groomed neighbors, but its well-worn character is completely authentic. Although the place has only been known as by its current name for the past four years, the bar itself has been at the same location for nearly sixty years. The joint is a choice spot for punks and blue-collar barflies to congregate over drinks and games of pool. During the week, the Volt's killer jukebox spits out cuts by Sabbath, Zep, the Clash, the Sex Pistols and Hank Williams. And on the weekends, the bar gets hotwired by a steady parade of local punk and rockabilly acts.
Aztec Sol is best known for its exhaustive collection of more than 200 tequilas, carefully curated by owner Jose Lara. The funky neighborhood spot is a favorite among locals who live and drink on the edge of Highland: Both caballeros and condo-dwellers are drawn by Aztec Sol's cheap eats and potent, imaginative cocktails. In addition to cantaritas and vampiros (two sobriety-slashing tequila creations), the Sol now offers wireless Internet. Sure, the place can be dark and the music loud, but the connection is strong and, like the chips and salsa, free of charge. So log on -- vamonos!

- 3Flexible response -- High level of freedom both at introduction and reconfiguration, and extensibility according to use
- In contrast to conventional networks which are linearly connected to PLC, KDDI's VPN multipoint-to-multipoint connection assures a high level of freedom, whether it is being introduced or reconfigured.
KDDI Powered Ethernet can be used in conjunction not only with IP, but with a variety of protocols such as IPX, SNA, FNA, DEC and AppleTalk. Since it is also possible to use routing protocols such as RIP, OSPF and EIGRP, it can flexibly and extensively deal with network changes. The service displays daily, weekly and monthly graphs of traffic fluctuations by base. Extensions can be made according to use.
With ample options such as the "Dual Access Service" that provides redundant access lines and the "Free Gateway Service" that offers a free gateway connection for IP-VPN, KDDI has realized the optimum wide area Ethernet to meet customers' needs.
Advantages of introducing "KDDI Powered Ethernet"
- Strategic utilization of information

The Swiss operator of one of Europe's oldest commercial nuclear reactors has announced plans to shut the plant by 2022.
BKW Energie AG said today that the Muehleberg plant will continue to provide electricity for 10 years despite a Swiss court ruling earlier this month that the reactor's licence should expire at the end of June 2013.
The company has said it will challenge the ruling at Switzerland's supreme court.
Muehleberg began operation in 1972.
Earlier this year, it was temporarily shut down after routine maintenance caused a feedwater cooling system to stop working. No radioactivity was released.
Switzerland gets about 40% of its power from five nuclear reactors. The country plans to phase out nuclear power by 2034.

Idina tries to be perfect. She NEVER shows emotions around Mom and Dad, so guess what! I'm the lucky one who gets the brunt of all her mood swings! I mean, what the music! I was GREAT at hiding emotions - God, I'm trying to be better at not hiding them - but at least I didn't fling them all out at once when I couldn't keep a hold of myself anymore!
Okay, cool down.
God, as much as I believe in Your Power and Love, I have SUCH a hard time believing in Your Forgiveness. And it's NOT because I feel like the longer I feel guilty, the worthier I am - I just cannot feel Your salvation sometimes! And I know that's the stupid devil making me feel this way - but why can't I trust that You have forgiven me?
I know I'm forgiven. My mind knows I'm forgiven. But my heart is constantly condemning me, and I don't even know why! I confess my sins to You, Lord, and by Your Grace, I turn from them. Why, then, do I feel so unforgiven?
Lord, You know my heart. You know You have forgiven me.
Please, let me feel it.

|Re: Freeing processors
|Thu, 07 Aug 2003 13:17:30 GMT
Yep. Since RH 8 the ps command only shows the main java process. In previous versions ps showed the parent process and a child process for each thread the java app spawned. The previous behaviour often lead to confusion relating to memory assignment so i guess that's why RH changed it. Personally, I find the change annoying coz it was an easy way to see how many threads the app had spawned.
