GREELEY, COLO. — High feed costs, weak consumer demand and an oversupply of chicken took a significant toll on Pilgrim's Pride Corp. during the second quarter of fiscal 2011, ended June 26. As a result, the company recorded a loss of $128,141,000. During the same period of the previous year, Pilgrim's Pride's net income was $32,918,000, equal to 15c per share on the common stock.
Sales for the quarter were $1,922,690,000, an increase compared with the previous year when sales were $1,707,568,000.
"Pilgrim's total feed-ingredient purchases through the first six months of 2011 were more than $400 million higher than a year ago," said Bill Lovette, president and chief executive officer. "At this time of year we are usually benefitting from stronger market pricing and increased demand from both food service and retail, but to date neither that demand nor pricing has materialized."
Mr. Lovette said Pilgrim's Pride is making structural changes in its book of business in order to share the cost burden from higher grain prices. The company is in discussion with customers to move toward a more viable business model that ties pricing for chicken products closer to the market, such as through a combination of market- and cost-based pricing.
The company also announced it is closing its Dallas processing facility. The facility is scheduled to be shuttered on Sept. 30, 2011, and production will be consolidated into other company facilities, including its Mount Pleasant, Texas, processing plant.
"By closing the Dallas facility, we can consolidate that production volume at three other plants and help those sites run closer to full capacity," Mr. Lovette said. "In addition, we will eliminate the cost associated with transporting live birds from northeast Texas to the Dallas processing plant and shipping offal from Dallas back to our protein conversion plant in Mount Pleasant. This will significantly reduce our costs and allow us to operate more efficiently. In addition, we believe it will go a long way toward helping position Pilgrim's to emerge from the current industry down-cycle as a leaner, more competitive company."
During the second quarter, Pilgrim's sales and volume in food service and retail rose slightly, according to the company. Export demand remained strong during the quarter, with sales, volume and pricing hitting all-time highs for the period. Year-to-date export sales are up 65% and volumes have climbed 50%.
"Our partnership with JBS USA is helping us enter new markets and increase our penetration in many existing markets," Mr. Lovette said, adding that Pilgrim's share of the U.S. export market for chicken has climbed to 24% from 17%.
For the first six months of fiscal 2011, Pilgrim's Pride recorded a loss of $248,901,000, which was significantly higher than the loss of $12,629,000 the company suffered during the same period of fiscal 2010. Sales for the period were $3,815,166,000, an increase compared with 2010 when they were $3,350,486,000.

Last week saw a 100 students and their teachers attend the 2nd annual Koduthon, hosted at Microsoft Headquarters in Reading. Armed with their laptops and tablets they were charged with developing virtual fish tanks, creating artificial intelligence beings in Kodu, using simple algorithms. A project I call , Algorariums. Using simple Kode, students aged between 7-16 had to create a virtual fish tank, where the Kodufish had to respond to each other and behave like living things. They had to move, shoal , reproduce and even poop! yes, all of this can be created in Kodu. Despite it's simplicity, Kodu can be used to create complex systems.
One school had a particular job of training Microsoft staff in the Kodu. There were a number of very happy people walking around our office proudly holding their certificate.
Needless to say all the schools had a great time, the 'Pick and Mix' helped with that. But, this event shows , whatever your age and or ability in computing. Kodu is not only a great introduction to coding, but also a powerful platform to develop higher computational thinking.
(and before you ping me an email asking where was your invite. These schools were on the reserve list from last year)

1. Does the share of the pension for my ex-partner increase in line with inflation?
Each year the Pension Fund tries to increase pensions in line with inflation. This is done using calculations by Statistics Netherlands (CBS). The main condition is that the Pension Fund is financially sound enough. This is expressed by the funding ratio: the ratio between the assets and pension liabilities. If the funding ratio is steadily sufficiently high then in principle indexation is possible.
This indexation applies to the entire old-age pension including your ex-partner's share.
An increase in your income after the divorce, for example as a result of promotion, has no consequences for your ex-partner's share of the pension.
2. What consequences does an earlier or later retirement date have on the pension for my ex-partner?
As a participant in the Shell Pension Fund you are free, to a certain extent to determine when you want retire. This choice has implications for your pension payments.
If you retire earlier then your pension payments will be lower: contribution is paid over a shorter period and you receive your pension over a longer period. If you retire later the opposite is applicable.
These implications also apply to your ex-partner's share of the pension; its payments reflect your pension payments. If you take early retirement then the payments are lower. Your ex-partner will then also receive lower payments starting at an earlier date. If you defer your retirement then your ex-partner will receive higher payments starting at a later date, just like you.
3. What happens to the pension of my ex-partner if I remarry someone else?
If you remarry someone else (or enter into a registered partnership with someone else), then this has no impact on the division of pension between you and your ex-partner. Your ex-partner is still entitled to the share of the pension that was accrued up to the divorce date, unless you agreed otherwise such as an alternative division or a conversion. Your ex-partner is also entitled to the special partner's pension in the event of your death. If you agreed a conversion then your ex-partner receives no special partner pension in the event of your death.
If your new relationship does not last your new partner is entitled to half of the pension that was accrued during the official duration of the relationship. In the event of your death then the special partner's pension of your ex-partner is deducted from the partner's pension of your new partner.
4. How does the pension change if I remarry my ex-spouse?
If you remarry or enter into a registered partnership with your ex-spouse you no longer need to divide your pensions. In the event of a marriage or registered partnership the Pension Fund is automatically notified by the Dutch municipality in which you live. So you do not need to inform the Pension Fund separately. The division of your retirement pension is then cancelled.
If you cohabit and want to register your partner with the Pension Fund you have to inform the Pension Fund yourself. To do so visit the Pension Fund website and use the 'Application for partner's pension arrangement' form.
If you live abroad then you always have to keep the Pension Fund informed yourself, also when you are getting married or decide to cohabit.
If you decide to separate again at a later stage then you need to request a division of the retirement pension once again. The periods during which you were officially married or in a registered partnership are then added up together. This is how the Pension Fund determines the share of the pension to which your ex-partner is entitled.
No pension is divided at the end of a cohabitation contract.
5. What does it mean for the pension of my ex-partner if I am not a Dutch national or if I have worked abroad?
If you or your ex-partner are not a Dutch national then it is possible that the legal regulations mentioned here do not apply to you. This can also be the case if you lived or worked abroad for a time during your marriage.
Each country has its own legal regulations. In Dutch law the three most important rules are:
- Pension rights accrued in a Dutch pension scheme are eligible for division according to Dutch law. The Pension Fund pays your ex-partner's share directly to him or her.
- Pension rights accrued in a foreign pension scheme are also eligible for division according to Dutch law. The condition is that the division of assets and possessions in the event of a divorce is carried out according to Dutch law. In this situation there is no right to direct payment by the foreign pension provider.
- In this case you must pay your ex-partner's share of the pension directly to him/her.
- If it concerns a foreign pension scheme, and the division of assets and possessions in the event of divorce is effected according to foreign law, then a division of the pension is only possible if it is provided for in the foreign law. Direct payment to your ex-partner also depends on the latter.
- This rule applies to divorces after 1 March 2001. If you divorced prior to this date and would like to know more about your rights and obligations related to the division of your pension, then it is best to contact your pension provider.

Want to empower employees and build a winning company culture? Have your team teach each other. By Angie Chang (Director of Growth, Hackbright Academy)
Successful, thriving company culture becomes evident in its employees. Specifically, employees will be empowered to find ways to give back and empower others -- and there's no better place to start than with your co-workers.
Online petition website Change.org is committed to empowering people everywhere to create change.
"This requires bringing a diverse set of skills and perspectives to age-old problems," said Warren Colbert, a director of product management at Change. He also mentors at CODE2040, where top minority engineering students nab lucrative internships and mentorship at Silicon Valley tech companies.
It's no secret that technology startups lack women in engineering (industry average is 10-15%), but change happens from within when a company's leaders prioritize hiring from a diverse pool of candidates.
The tech company's efforts to change the gender ratio in the engineering department included partnering with women's engineering school Hackbright Academy earlier this year. By providing mentorship and support from senior engineering leaders, Change.org successfully recruited and onboarded Jasmine Tsai after she graduated from Hackbright Academy, an accelerated women's engineering school in San Francisco.
Changing The Gender Ratio In Engineering -- One Female Engineer At A Time
Jasmine was the first female engineer to join the ranks of Change.org's engineering team. By summer's end, Change.org hired a total of three female engineers, a 200% increase from the moment Jasmine joined the team earlier that summer -- and a big shift in the gender makeup, a welcome change for the engineering team.
Sharing the company's spirit of giving back, Jasmine teaches technical topics to non-technical employees at Change.org through "Women Helping Others Achieve" (or "WHOA") -- a group of female employees gathered to share their skills across the organization, from tech know-how to life hacks.
Jasmine Tsai is not your usual Silicon Valley software engineer. A former investment banker who studied economics and international relations at UPenn, she found herself perpetually restless on the job and itching to create, so she quit her job to learn to code. Jasmine was working on small web projects when she joined Hackbright Academy, where she met a senior engineering leader at Change.org who participated in the Hackbright Academy mentorship program -- and the rest is history.
Giving Back And Making Change
"Even though I am a junior engineer, there is still stuff I can teach," says Jasmine.
She explains to others what a "client versus server" means, what common programming languages and frameworks are, how to look at the console in the browser -- "the basic stuff, more landscaping stuff," she said with a laugh. "Landscaping is something I picked up from my previous career in investment banking when consulting with clients. It's a market snapshot of how everything fits together. And when you are in a technology company, everyone wants to experience the joy of creating something."
Maggie Aker, a client manager working on sponsored campaigns at Change.org, said that while she interacts daily with engineers on bug fixes and product developments, "many of the nuances of deploys were wholly unbeknownst to me... until now!"
"Jasmine has the unique perspective of having recently learned programming herself, so it was really helpful that she broke down the basics of programming for me in a way that she knew would be easily understandable for someone who has very little experience in the area," said Erin Viray, a non-technical Change.org employee who attended a WHOA workshop on programming.
The "Learn To Code" Movement
"There's a lot of debate whether learning to code is something necessary for everybody," said Jasmine. "I feel there isn't enough understanding about what code is and what it can do -- so what I am trying to do is giving people an opportunity to experience it first and then they can decide for themselves if it's something they're interested in. Everyone should have an opportunity to learn to code if they want to and decide for themselves if they really like it. Not everyone should code."
The more women learn to code, the more female CTOs we have in power and as role models for young girls everywhere.

When working with an emergency project we must set priorities, testings of plugins can be exhaustive, nobody want's to retest every location where the plugin is installed whenever and minor modification occurs, but when we are talking in a fast pace project with no planning and just one mark, proves that is and worth effort, the process of testing is even worst.
So is basically working under a large growing mess, annotations, papers and folder, software for project management, nothing can really help in that very start moment of a project, because changes are very often. When you finally reach an first stable version is time to get back on track of work left behind.
The Recent Posts widget was not working and annoying me very much, consuming and stressing my head, I then realized that it is almost the center of the blog, if WordPress is getting that list wrong, with content from other blogs and languages visitors may not understand where they are, it become a urgency need to solve.
I am very happy that I can finally get back on development track and advanced that question, bug solved and most important, now I can share all my blogs links, without getting people confusing asking themselves why that Recent Posts links is showing that weird stuff, now everyone can navigate safe and be related with the right content in the right time.

Questionable Trailer (1992)
01 January 1992 Factual 57 mins
The first offering in the iconic Plan B video "fourology", the release of Questionable Video promptly set the skateboard community on its ear while screaming, "change!" into the other. In the age of cut-down high tops and late shove-its, the hellish Plan B roster (brought together by a visionary Mike Ternasky) rose above the transitional feel of the era by pioneering today's tech + handrail methodologies. Shot lovingly with shouldered VHS dinosaurs and screw-on fisheyes, Questionable is an undoubtedly raw, homegrown, and pure skateboarding video that not only reflects a major turning point in skateboarding's evolution, but illuminates the path that the sport will follow over the next decade.

Pet Hamster
The most popular fashion trend lately has been using a pet as an accessory. Just like someone may wear a flashy belt, jewelry, or a hat, having a pet on your arm is thought be very fashionable these days. While having a small dog such as a Chiwowa used to be very common, it has become almost cliche. The days of celebrities being innovative by walking the red carpet with a small dog is over. The newest way to turn heads is by having a more distinguished and rare animal to tote around. One of the most trendy pets lately has been purchasing a cute little hamster. This can be an amazing look for anyone. Having a little hamster is actually gender neutral as it would be a sweet look for any males or females.
There are many different types of pet hamster species to choose from. The two main species are the normal sized hamster and also the dwarf hamster is becoming. The normal hamsters are probably just what you imagine. They are about six to eight inches long full grown and will never grow to weigh more than a few pounds. The best part about owning a hamster is the diverse colors that you can choose from. There are white, brown, black, striped, spotted, and attention deficit disorder hamsters. Most all of them are very adorable and your will be able to pick one that suits your look and personality perfectly. When strutting around with a hamster, there are a few different positions they can ride. You can hold the hamster inside your hands with either one or two of them at the same time. You can clutch them above your elbow and in between your arm and your abdomen. You can also have the hamster ride on top of your shoulder much like a parrot would sit. Dwarf hamster are just much smaller species of rodent than the normal hamster but they can ride in the positions described above.
To keep your hamster looking fresh, there are some necessary hamster care activities to do. The first thing is to keep your hamster as clean as possible. To have a hamster that you carry around to red carpets, it must be groomed very well. This means regular hair cuts and showers. In terms of off hamster care it is essential to keep the hamster cage as clean as possible. If they are sleeping at night on top of their own feces, how are they going to be shining on the red carpet? If you want your hamster to be that model type, you must clean their enclosure at a minimum of a biweekly basis. Keeping a clean hamster cage is a great way to let your hamster live a happy and healthy life. Other ways to keep your pet hamster healthy is by providing a proper feeding schedule and also by getting it some exercise. Make sure to clean their water source regularly and do not let their food sit out for to long. Every singly hamster hutch needs its own hamster wheel. This way they can exercise whenever they need a little run. You can also purchase a hamster ball for them to run around the house. Providing the largest possible hamster cages for your pet is also a great way of letting them get extra exercise and better beauty sleep.

Prospecting for Links Like a Pro
Guest blogging, while becoming overplayed, is still a great way to build relevant links from authority websites within a niche. Every site, from the one-man show to the enterprise level news blog, is in need of content, and many will jump on the opportunity to add content to their site, as long as it is unique, thought-provoking or relevant to their readers.
Although finding and identifying link opportunities – while matching unique, thoughtful topics to go with each guest post prospect – isn't the most difficult part of link building, it is one of the most time-consuming.
In this post, I'll be going over the surprisingly simple to the mind-blowing gems of discovering new link opportunities.

Wales winger Alex Cuthbert has insisted he's flattered by the high regard in which he is held at Cardiff Blues and is adamant the club will turn the corner imminently.
Cuthbert, currently part of the Wales squad gearing up for their clash with Samoa this weekend, has seen first-hand the RaboDirect PRO12 struggles the Blues have endured to date this season.
Five defeats from their opening eight league matches has been far from ideal for the region while they have also lost both of their Heineken Cup fixtures, against Sale and Toulon.
All this has coincided with speculation about Cuthbert's future with the giant wing out of contract in the summer and the French vultures believed to be circling.
With Blues and Wales centre Jamie Roberts departing for France in the summer chief executive Richard Holland has gone on record to say the region should be building their future around Cuthbert.
"I'm still young and in only my second season, so I am quite privileged to hear him say something like that," said Cuthbert.
"I'm grateful to the Blues for giving me a chance and it's exciting times.
"The results aren't going the right way, but we are rebuilding and I knew it would take a couple of years.
"I know we have the players at the club and the club is working hard to attract some top players and to get some more experience in the squad.
"The region are at quite an exciting point, the start of something that is going to get better."

AP European History
This year you will have the opportunity to earn at up to 20 extra credit summative points each nine weeks.
A couple of years ago, the BBC sponsored a documentary version of Simon Schama's book series, A History of Britain. Your job is to evaluate this species of edu-tainment for its historical veracity and overall message. Evaluate means to assess and judge. I am not looking for a summary of each episode.
Choose any episode that you wish. Here is what I want you to think about:
Look at the big picture. Has Schama given you a fair picture of the time period? What was his overall message? Was anything or he left out of the his presentation? Why?
How does Schama's account compare with that in Kagan or your other sources?
Is this the British version of "America: the Story of US" – a glossy, hyped up exercise in patriotism, or is it an attempt to do real history?
Write a 2-3 page paper evaluating the episode of your choice. Your paper must have a thesis statement with supporting arguments. Similarly, all sources, including the film, must be documented using the Chicago Manual of Style or MLA.
Papers earning 20 points will have assessed the film, focused on relevant topics, and included a variety of perspectives, including those represented by your primary sources.
Points are awarded by me. Period. There is no AHS mandate telling me to offer this many extra credit points. Arguing for more does not incline me to offer this opportunity again.

Patravi Evotec Power Reserve
Patravi Evotec Powerreserve
Technological Advancement Across 125 Years
Tradition, together with highly creative innovation, has been the hallmark of Carl F. Bucherer for 125 years. From 1888, when Carl Friedrich Bucherer set up his first specialist shop for watches in Lucerne, to the launch of the Patravi EvoTec PowerReserve, Carl F. Bucherer has come a long way in perfecting the art of watchmaking.
Aesthetically Avant-Garde Watchmaking
The Patravi EvoTec PowerReserve is a visionary timepiece from Carl F. Bucherer's famed roster of revolutionary watches. An unconventional design featuring an extraordinarily large case, gives the watch an exceptional and ultra modern appearance. This deviation from the ordinary along with numerous outstanding functions makes the EvoTec PowerReserve an unusual timepiece that quite naturally stands out from the rest.
Manifestation Of A Futuristic Concept
In the Patravi EvoTec PowerReserve one witnesses the manifestation of a pioneering concept, the first product of the concept, which is completely developed and is exclusive to Carl F. Bucherer.
The Radical Cfb A1002 Caliber
Incorporating the functional module CFB A1002 - the movement of a new age, the EvoTec PowerReserve beautifully combines the comfort of an automatic movement with the aesthetics of a hand-wound movement.
A Visionary Power Reserve Mechanism
The red hand moves across the scale towards "High" when the watch is wound up, and as the watch winds down, it moves back towards "Low". The power reserve reading is therefore extremely straightforward.
Luxury Watch Helpline
Ethos is proud to present India's only helpline for luxury watches. The luxury watch helpline is your guide and concierge to luxury timepieces. Tell us the occasion and we'll match you a watch for it! If you have queries about any watch we will be happy to help. Please feel free to contact us for information, recommendations and exciting offers on ANY watch that we feature.

They broke up in 2006 after dating for some years, but they had to get back together for the movie 'Bad Teacher' in 2011.
'Leonard' and 'Penny' from 'The big bang theory' had kept their relationship secret for 2 years, until they decided to talk about it 3 years after breaking up. What is really admirable is that they didn't let any of these ups and downs affect their work.

Claim: A New York City Starbucks outlet charged 9/11 rescue workers $130 for three cases of water.
Status: True.
Example: [Collected via e-mail, 2001]
My family owns an ambulance service in Brooklyn NY. Midwood Ambulance if anyone knows it. Anyway, my uncles were at "Ground Zero" during the attack to help the victims. They donated their time to help with this crisis as many New Yorkers did. A great deal of people were in shock from the devastation. As many of you know, shock victims are supposed to drink a lot of water. My uncle went to the Starbucks down the street to get bottles of water for the victims he was treating. Can you believe they actually charged him for it!! He paid the $130 for
Thank you!
Origins: Times of crisis can bring out the best and the worst in people and, it appears, in businesses as well.
On 11 September 2001, employees of the Midwood Ambulance Service were on hand at what has come to be known as "Ground Zero," the rubble that once was the World Trade Center. They approached a Starbucks near the disaster site because they needed water to treat the victims of the terrorist attack. Starbucks was willing to
Later, suspecting the workers had been overcharged, ambulance company officials called Starbucks and sent
company but said their queries were ignored. One described his call to Starbucks thus: "When I
Only after the text quoted above became circulated on the Internet did Starbucks address this matter. The company eventually delivered a $130 check (via messenger) to the ambulance company, and its president, Orin Smith, called them to apologize personally.
Apology and check notwithstanding, lingering and disquieting doubts remain. True, an employee of any firm can act in an unthinking manner that will bring embarrassment upon his employer (and in this case one can't necessarily fault the low-level Starbucks worker who was unsure about handing over his employer's merchandise for free without authorization), but that is not the real shame here; it's the non-action of Starbucks management in the face of such an incident.
Perhaps a Starbucks employee was fault for messing up, but even if so, his error was the act of a lone individual. All it would have taken to set things right at that point would have been for someone a bit higher up in the company to pony up a prompt apology and reimbursement of the money paid for the water. The measure of a business is often found not in what it does right, but in how well and how quickly it handles matters when things have gone wrong.
Unfortunately, Starbucks' customer relations and management committed the real offense in that no one at any of these higher levels did anything to address the wrong until the incident became public. When the ambulance workers called the company to inquire about the possibility of having been overcharged, they were told what they had described couldn't have happened, so thank you and good-bye. Their letter to the president of Starbucks detailing the event went unanswered. Calls from a Seattle journalist to
Howard Schultz (Starbucks chairman and chief global strategist) and Orin Smith (president and CEO) weren't returned. (Only after that journalist's piece about the $130 water ran on
At each point where a correction could have been made, the ambulance workers were brushed off. It took the attraction of cyberspace and media attention to prompt an offer of redress that should have been made the moment Starbucks was made aware of the incident. The ambulance workers did eventually get their $130 back, but they had to jump through hoops for what should have been freely and promptly tendered.
Starbucks isn't heartless — they did provide free coffee to rescue workers, gave
Yet the question still begs to be asked: Had the story about the ambulance workers not gotten out and had it not given Starbucks a black eye, is there reason to suppose that a check would have been written or an apology made?

Discussion in 'On Topic' started by ElCidKid, Dec 10, 2008.
I just want my 30.06 semi-automatic goodness
how long ago did you order?
i sent in my order on the 16 of November. I got an e-mail today that said they had receved my order and my order was being sent to the sales dept and from there it would be 30-60 days until I get my garand. stupid WRA M1's.
I heard they were shut down for a few weeks and had 3500-4000 orders to process. I gotta order some surplus ammo soon.
Welcome to the club. I sent mine in on the 6th of Nov. and got that email on the 17th of Nov. Still waiting...
when I ordered my M1903 I had it within 3 weeks. this is unreal.
I sent in my WRA and it was received Dec. 1 still no DBU yet, although it looks as if lots of people started getting their DBU's yesterday and today.
They received 3000-4000 pieces of mail on Dec. 1 the day the WRA's went on sale.
how many WRA's did they have? I ordered a SA M1 Garand and the order got there way before 1 Dec.
Supposedly 4-5K
I sent in my order a week before they announced that they would have WRA's 1 Dec. I kinda wish I had ordered a WRA now. Oh well maybe next time.
Well I mail ordered one and it got there 11/29, I was happy b/c I thought since it got there early it would be ahead of the others. Apparently they dump all the tubs of mail on the floor, mess them up, and then sort them. So as of today no email.
I did however drive down there on Dec. 3rd b/c I had never been there and wanted to get some ammo. And maybe handpick a WRA, 1/2 way there I realized I forgot my Birth Certificate. So I tagged a FG WRA that if not for the washed wood would have been a SG.
I'm driving down again tomorrow to pick that rifle up and hopefully also get the SG WRA I mailed in.
if i give yiu my customer number will you get mines too

In December last year we reported on two TCC decisions – Harding v Paice and ISG v Seevic – which considered the effect of failures to serve payment and pay-less notices in response to applications for payment (click here and here for our previous Law-Nows). A TCC decision last week has considered this issue further and provides guidance as to how these two decisions are to be applied.
Galliford Try Building Ltd v Estura Ltd
Galliford Try and Estura entered into an amended JCT Design and Build Contract 2011 for the construction of the Salcombe Harbour Hotel in Devon. Near the end of the project, Galliford Try submitted an interim application for payment (number 60) which incorporated an indicative final account. The application included claims of over £1 in relation to Employer's Instructions and a loss and expense claim for £2.8 million.
Estura failed to submit a payment notice or pay-less notice in response to the application and Galliford Try obtained an adjudicator's decision ordering payment of the amount claimed in the application. Estura commenced a second adjudication seeking a declaration as to the true amount owing in respect of Galliford Try's application, however the second adjudicator found that he had no jurisdiction in light of the first adjudication, adopting the approach of the court in ISG v Seevic. Estura nonetheless sought to resist enforcement of the first adjudicator's decision on the basis thatISG v Seevic was misguided and contrary to the court's earlier decision in Harding v Paice.
The Decision
The court rejected Estura's submissions and granted summary judgment in respect of the first adjudicator's decision (albeit subject to a partial stay in favour of Estura due to exceptional factual circumstances). In reaching his decision, Edwards-Stuart J gave helpful guidance as to how his two previous decisions in Harding v Paice and ISG v Seevic are to be applied in practice:
- These two decisions are not inconsistent and the court had had the Harding decision very much in mind when reaching its decision in ISG v Seevic.
- The difference between the two decisions resulted from the different way in which interim payments and payment on termination are dealt with under the JCT Design and Build Contract.
- The interim payment provisions provide that in the absence of a payment notice or pay-less notice by the employer, "the amount of the Interim Payment to be made by the Employer shall … be the sum stated as due in the Interim Application". This language underpinned the decision in ISG v Seevic.
- By contrast, the provisions dealing with payment on termination considered in Harding v Paicelack any such deeming language and require payment simply of "the amount properly due in respect of the account".
Conclusions and implications
One notable aspect of the court's decision is the absence of any reliance on section 111 of the Housing Grants Construction and Regeneration Act in relation to the position reached in ISG v Seevic. Rather, the present decision appears to confirm, as indicated in our previous Law-Now, that close attention is required to the specific terms of the payment provisions in any given contract. There would not appear to be any general rule arising under the Act which requires the position reached in the present case and in ISG v Seevic to apply to construction contracts in general.
The absence of such a general rule is likely to focus attention on the position under alternative forms of contract, such as the NEC. The NEC standard payment terms - supplemented by Y(UK)1 – contain no deeming provisions as to amounts due in default of either a payment notice or pay-less notice. The position under the NEC may therefore remain as per the court's decision in Harding v Paice with less severe consequences for employers who fail to give notices on time.

Unanswered: Convert Paradox tables to My-SQL
I need to convert my paradox tables (.db) to MY-SQL tables. I have an application (DF2MYSQL) that converts (.dbf) to mysql, so in paradox i convert .db to dbf and only then to mysql. There's any software that converts automatically db to mysql and if possible more than one table each time.

You should, if i understand well enough, create a small script in PARADOX, which reads table and data from pdx tables, and connects to mysql to recreate them by means of sql statements.
I've connectedd to mysql from paradox in the past, and it works very well.
bye!The only failure is not trying to do it.

The Mandaeans and their religion survived thousands of years in South Mesopotamia protected by their faith, love of peace and knowledge. Their numbers decreased gradually by the facts of hostile surroundings and the refusal to accept new members in their belief. This refusal came, in my opinion, from fear of retaliation by their Muslim neighbors and rulers after the 7th century B.C..
In the early twentieth century the Mandaeans left their usual rural southern cities and moved to the major cities in Iraq and Iran. Looking for better life and seeking knowledge in modern schools and universities that were restarting in these countries.
In the later decades of the twentieth century the Mandaeans were forced to endure yet another wave of immigration. This time fleeing from brutal dictatorship, wars and harsh social and economic circumstances, they immigrated to countries that accepted refugees around the world. They were scattered to few satellite communities in North America, Europe and Australia. This Immigration was so unorganized that you could practically find a Mandaean family in most countries around the world. The other surprise they found is the total ignorance about their religion and community from the outside world. Even in countries like USA,advanced in knowledge and technology, they were not even mentioned in the annual international religious freedom report as a religious minority in Iraq and Iran 1n 1999 report. Agencies like UNHCR, Amnesty International, UNESCO, know very little if any about the Mandaeans and their plait.
The mandaeans realized that they are on their own if they want to survive. No country or organization really cares if they survived as a community or not. Their pride in their belief as the world's only Gnostic religion, their rare mandaean dialect, their true pacifists and their historic misery did not stand for them. The sense of survival hit the Mandaeans hard. They quickly started to organize in Mandaean associations and recently formed the Mandaean Associations Union to help communicate, plan, and organize their future directions.
The Mandaeans now face a true danger that threatens their survival. Their kids are growing in different countries, learning different languages and rarely sticking to the Mandaean roots. The pressure of different cultures and the lack of true religious unified leadership makes the youth look for spiritual values elsewhere.
The mandaeans need to work hard to establish Mandaean centers that are capable in proving themselves as focus for the mandaean activities in the countries of refuge. Mandaeans religious leaders should rise to the level of responsibility in providing an example of unity and peace among themselves and provide a true spiritual leadership to the mandaeans . The Associations and the Union should deal with the political aspects of the relations with mandaeans in Iraq and Iran and their two governments.. The Mandaean Human Rights Issues should be on the agenda for all associations to help those who have no home to get one. Help those in Yemen , Indonesia and Europe to secure a better future for there kids. To stop the deportation of Mandaeans to unsafe places. And work for the human rights in Iraq and Iran which is the only guarantee for a safe future for the mandaeans there.

Here are a list of the healthiest foods that will help you kill it at your next workout session or walk and run without feeling breathless.
Let's see which macronutrients and micronutrients are the primary sources of energy. Let's begin!
1. Complex Carbohydrates
Complex carbs consist of dietary fiber and starch. Complex carbs differ from simple carbs because simple carbs such as white sugar, brown sugar, honey, maple syrup, etc. are readily absorbed in the blood leading to a rise in blood glucose. Complex carbs, on the other hand, are digested slowly and rich in dietary fiber. They provide a lot of energy that is used as a fuel for our muscles and brain. Soluble fibers as fruits, nuts, legumes, seeds, rice bran, oats, brown rice and barley control blood sugar levels and lower cholesterol. Insoluble fibers like whole grain bread, pasta, rice, cereals, wheat bran, corn bran, vegetables, and nuts help to build up stamina. These foods break down into glucose and provide a lot of energy.
2. Proteins
Proteins from food are broken down into amino acids by our digestive system. These amino acids are used for muscle building and repair, making hormones, red blood cells, and other tissues in the body. Proteins play an important role in the growth and development of a healthy immune system. Proteins have a higher metabolic rate than fats and help us to burn more calories. Sources of proteins are fish, poultry, eggs, milk, cheese, legumes, and nuts.
3. Healthy Fats
Not all fats are bad. You should include a required amount of healthy fat into your daily diet. Fats are required to increase the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins like Vitamins A, D, E and K. It is important to use healthy fat options which provide omega-3 fatty acids like fish, almonds, walnuts and vegetable oils. These fats are responsible for the growth and development of the body.
4. Iron And Calcium
Calcium is an important mineral that helps build strong bones in our body. Iron is required by the red blood cells for transporting oxygen throughout the body. Deficiency of iron in the diet makes you anemic and leads to a loss of stamina. Some iron rich foods are broccoli, spinach, meat, beans, and nuts. Calcium can be obtained by consuming milk, cheese, yogurt, green leafy vegetables, and sardines.
5. Vitamin C
It is necessary to consume fruits that are rich in vitamin C. Vitamin C helps to strengthen our immune system and regulates the chemical reactions in our body. Sources of vitamin C are orange, kiwi, lemon, lime, cranberry, apple, guava, grapefruit, grapes, spinach, kale, bell peppers, tomato, broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, gooseberry, chives, basil, and thyme.
These are the 5 macronutrients and micronutrients that you should keep in mind when you buy your grocery. Include more of the 25 stamina enhancing foods mentioned below.

2. Apples

7. Beetroot Juice
Beetroots are rich in potassium, dietary fiber, and vitamins A and C. These nutrients help to build up stamina and reduce exhaustion. Beetroot juice is known to eliminate fatigue. Drinking a glass of beetroot juice before workouts can boost the energy levels.
8. Beans
Beans are rich in iron, fiber, carbohydrates, proteins and other minerals. They provide complete nutrition and enhance stamina by increasing the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood.
9. Brown Rice
Brown rice is loaded with dietary fiber and complex carbohydrates. It is also a good source of Vitamin B complex. Brown rice is less starchy and hence takes longer to digest. This keeps the stomach full for long, energizes the body and helps to maintain the stamina levels.
10. Coffee
Coffee is an instant energy booster and one of the healthiest foods that help to increase stamina. It stimulates and energizes your brain making it alert and active. Excess caffeine or coffee is harmful. However, it can be used in limited quantities to cure migraines and get the required levels of stamina.

Ark Encounter's Ararat Ridge Zoo plans to nearly double its size and add 40 to 50 more animals for next summer or fall.
Hosting nine to 10 animal kinds, including kangaroos, emus and camels, Ararat Ridge Zoo Director Matt De Voe said he hopes to bring in several different animals to join the zoo's growing exhibits. Some animals include binturongs, collared peccary and Barbary sheep.
More rain, cooler temperatures and overcast conditions spelled trouble for farmers as Hurricanes Harvey and Irma tracked north to Grant County. But inconsistent summer weather also made this a rough season for local farmers and gardeners.
Grant County 4-H Extension agent Chris Ammerman said the current weather has "caused farmers a good deal of distress for some harvest seasons."
Andrew Jones said he always wanted to be a police officer. Now, he is one.
A local man, Jones started working as the newest Williamstown officer Sept. 27 having graduated from the police academy the week before.
"I just want to be the best police officer I can be and serve the community," Jones said.
Local students proved their proficiency in reading, math and social studies as Kentucky Department of Education released the annual report cards Sept. 28.
Williamstown Independent saw improved scores for each school while Grant County Schools saw significant improvements on specific subjects for most of their schools, with some getting closer to an overall proficient rating.
Stage Right Musical Theatre will once again showcase local youth talent with performances of "Once Upon a Mattress" at Grant County High School on Oct. 6-8.
The production is based on the classic "The Princess and the Pea" story and features eight students from Williamstown Independent and Grant County school districts.
Stage Right has previously presented "Seussical, Jr." last year and "Annie, Jr." earlier this year as part of its Rising Stars Academy.
Judge-Executive Steve Wood wants to make much-needed improvements to the deteriorating Grant County Courthouse.
The laundry list of problems with the courthouse, which was built in 1937, include bathrooms that are not handicapped-accessible, a falling ceiling and bricks coming out of the back wall of the building.
An addition, which houses the judge-executive's office, was built in 1976.
Williamstown City Council passed a property tax hike Sept. 25.
The council raised the real property tax for 2017-18 to $0.340 per $100 value and personal property to $0.526 per $100 value as a compensating rate, according to the official ordinance.
United Way Success By 6 and its early childhood partners are proud to launch MyPre-K, an early childhood public awareness campaign in Northern Kentucky. The purpose of the general campaign is to show the unlimited potential of young children and elevate Pre-K as the first educational step toward shaping our youth. The tagline for the campaign is "There is no one way to Pre-K."

Africa Glows within the Network
The recently set up African community of the Guidelines International Network was very active in Amsterdam! With 6 oral presentations, 6 poster presentations and 1 keynote lecture on issues relevant to Africa the community is showing off its potentials. The African community was represented by 7 delegates from Cameroon, Uganda, Kenya, Tunisia, Nigeria and South Africa.
The conference provided an opportunity for critique of the community both from within and without the continent. Feedback during the conference was very useful in reshaping the objectives and strategies of the community to better engage the right stakeholders to address African issues the right way.
At the end of the conference the community was able to identify key stakeholders to engage with, these include funders, governments and ministries of health, patient groups, clinicians and researchers. They also identified the need to learn lessons from the South African experience which was rich in evidence of approaches that work or do not work for promoting use of guidelines.
Amongst partners that the community will plan to collaborate with were the South African Cochrane Centre (SACC), the collaboration for Evidence Based health Care for Africa (CEBHA), and The Centre for Development of Best Practices for Health (CDBPH). The G-I-N board was also identified as potential structure to support the community both morally and financially.
The community also identified needs for capacity building in key knowledge translation process (AGREE, GRADE and ADAPTE), research and knowledge sharing on approaches for engaging key stakeholders like ministries of health and patients.
The community also suggested a need to reconsider fees for organisational members from low and middle income countries and the number of members from the organisation who can have access to G-I-N benefits. For example, if we encouraged a ministry of health to become an organisational member the healthcare workers employed within this ministry should be able to have access to G-I-N benefits.
The keynote lecture on guidelines in Africa which was well attended also showcased the situation of guidelines in Africa with some countries doing better off than others.
The African community is planning for even more surprises for Philadelphia 2016!

Traders want police crackdown made permanent
An Adelaide traders association says the success of the New Year's Eve police crackdown in the city's west proves that police numbers should be increased permanently.
Only a few of the 34 arrests across the CBD were in the west end.
A spokesman for the West End Traders group, Tony Tropeano, says on-the-spot fines for drunkenness introduced in New South Wales and Victoria should also be used in South Australia.
"People don't want to get $500 fines for being stupid or being drunk out in the public," he said.
"We have a schoolies weekend every weekend in the west end. We have large numbers of people and we need a large number of police resources there to ensure that these people behave."

Chapter 13: A Frightening Visit to the Kuchiki Manor
After the next few days, Karin finally got a rest day. She spent her time avoiding attention and looking around the Academy grounds. She couldn't believe how huge the Seireitei really was. Feeling completely bored, she found a tall tree and climbed to a suitable branch and fell asleep. Several minutes later Rukia came and kicked the tree making it shake. "Hey Karin, you awake up there?" she asked.
"I am now, what do you want?" she asked sleepily.
"I just came to see how you were doing is all. The academy can really be tough on people." She said this from having experience herself. Right after she was adopted into the Kuchiki Clan, Rukia had been looked on as a threat, and everyone would say things behind her back. So she knew firsthand what Karin could be going through.
"I'm fine I guess." Karin said sitting up against the trunk of the tree. Rukia raised an eyebrow and could tell she was lying. She didn't know what it was, but she could tell when a Kurosaki was lying when their expression changed a certain way.
"Hey stop feeling so down on yourself!" she exclaimed kicking the tree really hard making Karin fall out.
"Ouch, that really hurt Rukia." Karin said rubbing her sore bottom.
"Look, we're going to do something fun today." Rukia declared.
"We are?"
"Of course! I'm inviting you to the Kuchiki manor for the weekend. I'm pretty sure It'll be better than that academy dorm you're staying at." Rukia replied. Though this was true, Karin wasn't sure if it was a good idea for her to be going off the academy grounds. "If you want, you can bring some friends with you. It'll be like a sleepover or something." Rukia added.
'Does she know what a sleepover is? Nevermind.' Karin sweat dropped. As much as she wanted to, she didn't know if she could ask her three friends to go to a massive mansion. It wasn't that she didn't want them to come, it was the thought of the many questioning she would get if she did.
"I'll…see what I can do. I think I could get some people to come." She finally said.
"That's great, I'll tell my brother that you're coming." Rukia smiled.
"Wa-wait, your brother? You haven't even told him?!" Karin exclaimed.
"I was getting to it."
"But what if he says 'No'? And then I'll have a bunch of people mad at me and…"
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it. My brother is a very understanding man." Rukia reassured her. Karin had the look of 'I'll believe it when I see it.' On her face but she shrugged and just took Rukia's word for it. "Well I'll see you in a hour or two okay?"
"Uh okay, I guess." Karin replied. With that said, Rukia flash stepped away leaving Karin alone. Karin then made a big sigh of complain. There was no turning back for her now, and the one person that would be the most difficult to ask would be Kasame. As far as Karin knew, Kasame still hated her. Ryku was too much of a pain, and she didn't even know if he would want to go. The only person she could think of that would be insane enough, would be Yuichi. But even then she still wasn't sure. All of these worries in her head started to make her head spin. She decided to go find Yuichi first. If he agreed to go, then she knew she would feel more comfortable asking the other two.
Karin walked around the halls of the academy and then walked into the library. She finally found Yuichi at a table playing mahjong all by himself. He would take one match, stand up, and then go to the other side of the table and take another pair of tiles. Karin sweat dropped and couldn't believe what she was seeing. 'This is just sad.' She thought as she walked up to her.
"Oh hi Karin, Haven't seen you around lately. I began getting worried." Yuichi smiled at her.
"Really? I thought you'd be upset with me like everyone else." She frowned.
"No, things happen. Honestly I think people are take things too personally." Yuichi said taking another pair of tiles and then walking over to the other side.
'He's talking to me and playing that stupid game at the same time? Really?!' she exclaimed in her mind.
"So was there something you wanted Karin?" he asked.
"Huh? Oh yeah, I was wondering…if it's okay with you…I was wondering…"
"I'd be glad to." Yuichi replied seeing that Karin was having a hard time asking him something.
"But I didn't even tell you what it was."
"It's fine with me if I'm with you." Yuichi smiled. Karin blushed a little but then it made her feel awkward.
"Well we'll be going to my uh…friends home for the weekend to have a…sleepover." She said. Karin didn't even know if boys did sleepovers, but she would find out now. "I mean it's okay if you don't want to come cause I'll totally understand." She added quickly.
"Hmm, a sleepover huh? Sounds fun." Yuichi replied. Karin smiled and thanked him. She then walked back outside and began reluctantly looking for the other two. It didn't take her long to find Ryku since it was actually him that found her.
Ryku had been lying in the hot sun on top of the roof when he had spot Karin walking around looking like a lost puppy. He was highly tempted to drop a big spit ball on her head, but decided that wouldn't be funny enough. Instead he decided to follow her and get a big water balloon in the process. Finding a high enough ledge, and knowing that Karin would be walking by it. He waited with the balloon over his head to claim his victim.
"Uh what are you doing?" Karin asked from behind him. Ryku jumped in surprise and dropped the water balloon that had been intended for Karin on his own head. Karin couldn't help but laugh when he slowly turned around with a scowl and soaked from his scalp to his shoulders.
"How long did you know I was here?" he asked annoyed of how cold the water was.
"You need to learn to pick your feet up. I could hear you clanking on top of the roof. Plus your spirit pressure gave your position away." Karin replied. Ryku was about to protest but changed his mind. Instead he got up and smirked.
"Tsk, I did that on purpose! A true assassin would never give away his position that easy. I just didn't want you to feel bad about not being able to find me." He said before chuckling loudly.
"Right." Karin sweat dropped.
"Anyway, why were you looking for me?" he asked becoming serious.
"Oh, I wanted to ask if you wanted to come with me and Yuichi to my friend's home for the weekend." She asked. She surprised herself how easy it was for her to ask this time. She didn't understand why she was having such a hard time with Yuichi.
"Why would I go to some dumb house?" he asked.
"I don't know, thought you'd want to get out of the academy for a while. I'm sure they'll have a bunch of food and…"
"I'll be there." He said as soon as Karin said 'Food'.
"Okay, just meet us by the tall tree in front of the academy then." She said.
"Yeah yeah, whatever." He said jumping off the roof and down the road. Karin sighed and then began looking for the one person she was not looking forward to see. Unable to find Kasame anywhere, she decided to head back to the dorms to grab a few extra cloths which weren't much. As of now, Karin only had the few kimonos that Yoruichi gave her, and her academy uniform. When she walked in, Kasame was already inside studying her homework. She looked at Karin once and then looked away.
Karin frowned and sighed. "Look, I'm really sorry if I embarrassed you in anyway. I hope we can someday return to being friends." She said before walking to her side of the room. Kasame sighed and then sat up.
"No, I'm the one that should be sorry. I blamed you for something that wasn't even a big deal, and I guess I just took it too far. So I should be apologizing. Friends?" she asked stretching out her hand. Karin smiled and shook it.
"Friends." She repeated with a smile. "Anyway, I've been meaning to ask you if you wanted to come over to a friend of mine for the weekend. Yuichi and Ryku said they would come as well." Karin asked.
"Ryku said that? Well if he's willing to go then I've gotta go." Kasame smiled. Karin was glad that everything had come to an understanding and she and Kasame were once again friends. They got a few things and headed out the door towards the tall tree. As they made their way to the tree, the two boys were already there waiting for them. Yuichi had a small bag of belongings and Ryku just had himself.
When Rukia came to pick them up, she froze when she saw Yuichi.
"Hey, you're that lady from the World of the Living." He said. "Don't you remember, I was the parakeet." He said.
"Yuichi, you know this lady?" Kasame asked.
"Uhuh." He said nodding.
"Oh yes, now I remember. It's nice to see you again Yuichi." Rukia smiled awkwardly.
"You were a bird?! That's hilarious!" Ryku laughed.
"Ryku that's not nice." Kasame snapped.
"I know, it's not nice that he was a parakeet. He shou've been a cooler bird!" he chuckled. Kasame started strangling Ryku and Yuichi just sighed in embarrassment.
"Anyway, what are you doing here lady?" he asked.
"Hmm? Oh please just call me Rukia. I've come to bring you to my home for the weekend. I'm sure we'll have fun." Rukia smiled. Kasame stopped choking Ryku and gave Karin a puzzled look.
"Your friend's a soul reaper?" she asked.
"Oh sorry, where are my manners? My name is Rukia Kuchiki, I'm the lieutenant of Squad 13." Rukia said.
"And she's a lieutenant?!" Kasame exclaimed in surprise. Karin was beginning to become uncomfortable and knew this whole thing was a bad idea.
"Um excuse me lady…I mean Rukia, but how do you know Karin." Yuichi asked. Kasame and Ryku also had curious looks on their faces. Uh-oh, this was the end for Karin. She knew too well if Rukia told them who she really was; it would create chaos for her.
"She's uh…the daughter of a very close friend of mine. I assumend that Karin was having a hard time at the academy and thought she could use a break. I also told her that it was okay if her friends want to come along as well." Rukia lied. Karin sighed in relief and then picked up her bag. Kasame raised an eyebrow at Rukia's explanation.
'Hmm, being friends with the Kuchiki's and yet she says she's from the Rukongai District. I don't buy one bit.' She thought as she followed the others. 'There's something you're definitely hiding from us Karin Asami, and I'm going to find out what.'
