text: It's each house proprietor's dream to have a very transformed home which meet his/her specifications and which is valuated at a excessive value in at this time's market. Let's take a stroll by means of a typical residence and see what improvements may very well be made. The reasoning behind that is that these two rooms are the two areas of a property that many potential consumers are keen to examine. A good way to begin is to examine and consider the home such as you've most likely never achieved before – go over the home as in the event you had been tomorrow's prospective buyer.\n\nThe diminished home populations will seemingly improve as a result of with low bug densities, more people will attain superb nutritional status and females will present a rise in longevity and fertility 23. Within the case of T. dimidiata, a single female can survive from 5 months to 1 yr, with a daily fee of oviposition of ten to 31 eggs for a production of 1,000 eggs in its lifespan 24. There is not a lot data accessible concerning other population parameters for T. dimidiata but we will deduce that the utmost populations reached in a specified atmosphere will likely be within the low hundreds, a truth that can be in comparison with the average 187 bugs present in three demolished houses in Guatemala 25.\n\nThe Rooming House Operators Act 2016 requires all operators of rooming homes to move a 'fit and proper individual' test to acquire a licence. Whereas repairs however is one thing you to slow down or cease any depreciation which may be occurring on your own home or property.\n\nThe group of engineers, architects, and anthropologist and group volunteers had been chargeable for educating home inhabitants about wall improvements, the right way to mix supplies and easy methods to apply the plaster. Perhaps the best and best strategy to make your home look extra inviting is to place a contemporary coat of paint up. Colour is a really personal desire and paint fades shortly.\n\nThe method of moving to a bigger property is quite tedious and it can be fairly costly in comparison with adding an extra room to the property which is comparatively cheap. An increase in the number of bugs collected exterior the houses was noticed within the ecosystemic villages.

For Can-Am RV Centre, setting up for the London RV Show is like going home! We started participating in the show back in 1974 when the dealership was only a few years old and when we only sold Airstream and Argosy trailers. Now 46 shows later, we proudly represent well over a dozen makes of trailers and motorhomes with hundreds of floor plans available to meet every need and budget.
As always, this year we are excited to be able to share the current and innovative RV products that Can-Am has to offer. And because the London RV Show is close to home for us, we have the opportunity to show our customers more new units than at any other RV Show that we attend. The show happens over four days at the Western Fair Agriplex. We think it is a great opportunity for a family outing and an encouraging reminder that Spring is just around the corner. We hope you will drop by to say hello and see our special show pricing.
The photo above is from the Can-Am RV archives. It is from the 1978 London RV Show. Kirk Thomson was only a youngster and might not remember the details of the product line that year, but he does remember the fun decorations and the excitement of the show. And no surprise! Can-Am had the classiest tow vehicles even way back then! Make sure you see the newest edition to our tow vehicle fleet at the 2020 London RV Show.

There is a Veeam B&R 188.8.131.527 in our branch office and few standalone ESXi hosts licensed with vSphere Enterprise license (don`t ask me why its vShpere Ent without vCenter).
Here are the hosts:
1) 5.0.0 469512
2) 5.5.0 1331820
3) 5.0 3568722 (appeared few days ago)
There are no problems with backups on hosts 1 and 2, but if we try to backup vms on host3 we got an error:
Code: Select all
21.02.2017 5:01:14 :: Processing site : roads22 (ip_address) Error: NFC storage connection is unavailable. Storage: [stg:5001de0b-9ac72ee3-64bd-3c4a926da7f8,nfchost:ha-host,conn:10.112.35.211]. Storage display name: [datastore1 (2)].

1. Check if ports 902 tcp and udp are open on ESXi.
2. Check if ESXi host 3 is added to Veeam B&R by ip address. It is so, but I make the corresponding record in hosts file on veeam proxy (it is a management server also) to be sure, so there is definitely no problems with name resolving.
3. hosts is added to Veeam with root credentials, so there is no problem with permissions (tried to readd it - still no luck with backup).
4. I`ve tried to install vclient on Veeam proxy and to connect to ESXi via the client and to download the vmx file. This experiment was successful.
5. I also tried to rename datastore, so it named "211_DAS" now, and name of vm is listed as "/vmfs/volumes/211_DAS/roads22/roads22.vmx" now.
During the attemt of backing up the vm, there are messages in vSphere client: "manipulate file paths".
Its strange, but I couldnt find anything corresponding "nfc" in vm backup logs.
Im curious, is it possible that Veeam 22.214.171.1247 doesnt support ESXi 5.5u3 (3568722)? I couldnt find any compatibility guide. May be we should upgrade our Veeam version?

Pinterest. Internet of things. Friends. CV. Untitled. Lumigrids by Prof. Gan Jing, Xun Zhang, An Pengcheng, Sun Yan, Jiang Cong, Li Ke, Du Tao, Zheng Yuemei, Cai Jing & Liu Zhenghao. Lumigrids is an LED projector for bicycles that hopes to improve safety during night riding.
It projects square grids onto the ground and by observing changes in the grids, the rider can easily comprehend the landforms ahead. Lumigrids can be fixed onto the bicycle's handlebars and the power is supplied by either an internal battery or by the rotation of the bicycle's wheels. As the designers explain, on a flat road surface, the grid will consist of standard squares. On a rough road surface, the grids will deform accordingly. By observing the motion and deformation of the grids, the rider can intuitively understand the landforms ahead. Lumigrids has three modes with different grid sizes that can be used to adapt to different situations: normal mode (140x180mm), high-speed mode (140x260mm), and team mode (300x200mm).

Moody's downgrades Turkey's rating, but improves outlook
Moody's downgraded Turkey's sovereign rating to 'Ba2' from 'Ba1', but changed its outlook to "stable" from "negative", the global rating agency said.
According to Moody's, the downgrade of Turkey's rating was driven by two key developments.
First is the "continued loss of institutional strength, further weakness in monetary policy, and delays in implementing core structural economic reforms."
Second is the "increased risk of an external shock based on Turkey's wide current account deficits and higher external debt."
The reason for changing the outlook to stable derives from the country's economic and fiscal strengths, mostly based on Turkey's large and dynamic economy and favorable government debt metrics, Moody's said.
The rating agency said Turkey's rating would be revised up if there are structural reductions in vulnerabilities, such as a significant and sustained narrowing is observed in the country's current account deficit, Daily Sabah reported.
"Reductions in political risk emanating either from the geopolitical or domestic political environment, while credit positive, would not necessarily result in upward rating actions in the absence of sustainable improvements in external vulnerability," Moody's explained in a statement.
The agency added that Turkey's rating would be revised down if the possibility of a balance of payments crisis increases, there is a sustained lower growth, and the government's fiscal strength would be worsened, in addition to further weakening in institutional strength.

Being of service in Belarus
The right to refuse military service for reasons of conscience is seen as inherent in the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Reasons of conscience may be based on religious beliefs, but in many OSCE participating States, applicants may opt for alternative service because of deeply held personal beliefs or a desire to serve their country in a different way.
In Belarus, military service is compulsory for all males between the ages of 18 and 27. They are obliged to serve for 18 months, or 12 months for university graduates. The Constitution of Belarus allows for the possibility of exemption from military service, and for the substitution of military service by an alternative service to be determined by law. Due to the fact that a law has not been passed, young men who wish to substitute their military service with alternative service continue to be at risk of being charged and prosecuted for draft evasion.
Civil action
Positive developments in recent months indicate a growing commitment to resolve this ambiguity.
"We are currently researching best practices in alternative service legislation and discussing the matter with the relevant government ministries. We hope that a draft law will be prepared by next year," said First Deputy Director Alexander Makareevich, from the National Centre for Legislation and Legal Research, a government agency under the Presidential administration.
Moreover, five young men convicted for avoiding military service have had their sentences acquitted in the past year and a half, according to Elena Tongachova, the founder of the Centre for Legal Transformation, a Belarusian non-governmental organization which files appeals to the Supreme Court on behalf of young men who have been convicted of avoiding military service.
"We see this as a very positive sign that the courts are beginning to recognize the constitutional rights of Belarusian citizens despite the absence of implementing legislation in the area of alternative service," she said.
Making a difference
The National Centre for Legislation and Legal Research requested assistance from the OSCE Office in Minsk to conduct a seminar on best practices from the OSCE region on alternative service legislation.
The seminar was held in Minsk on 14 October for representatives from the Constitutional Court, the Ministries of Defence, Emergency Services, and Labour and Social Welfare, as well as from the Office of the High Commissioner on Religion and National Minorities and the Parliamentary Administration.
Experts from France, Germany, Moldova and Russia shared the best practices from their countries at the seminar. Officials from the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) presented examples of alternative service from the ODIHR handbook Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms of Armed Services Personnel.
The Centre for Legal Transformation also distributed a handbook on alternative civilian service, drafted by the Centre to disseminate best practices in alternative service legislation.
The seminar participants asked detailed questions concerning practical issues surrounding the operation and management of alternative civilian service. Many took note of the fact that alternative service work may be as challenging as serving in the military. The experts explained that in many OSCE countries, alternative service can include work in hospitals or retirement homes to care for the elderly or mentally ill, or as emergency workers or fire fighters. This work is often demanding and difficult, and can be of great value to society as well as personally rewarding.
"The OSCE is committed to supporting the Belarusian government in modernizing its armed forces, and when a draft law is ready the OSCE can provide additional support in the form of international legal expertise, if requested by the government," said Ambassador Benedikt Haller, the Head of the OSCE Office in Minsk. "We look forward to seeing this important piece of legislation which will provide Belarusian citizens with broader opportunities to serve their country."

On the face, it feels very comfortable, the smell is to die for. But afterwards, I didn't really notice a huge difference in my skin. It was hydrated, yes, but didn't look significantly better compared to just applying a richly hydrating cream. I will stick to my cheaper Asian sheet masks for now.

Drugs and alcohol rehabilitation centre: Opposition hits back at addicts
PUBLISHED: 14:50 02 June 2011
OPPOSERS to a proposed drugs and alcohol rehabilitation centre have hit out at claims they are "naive".
In response to an article in last week's Broadcast, Jo Murphy and Karen Steed, who set up a campaign group to battle plans to convert Harwood Guest House in Stortford Road, shrugged off the allegations made by former alcoholics that their concerns are "unwarranted".
In a letter to the Broadcast the pair said: "We are not naïve enough to deny the drug problem that already exists in Dunmow and are fully aware that one third of all crime is drug related.
"However, we would like to remind readers that this rehabilitation centre will not serve the local population. It has been made clear in the application that this will not be for the use of Dunmow or its residents as it is aimed at 'distinguished' addicts."
They also made it clear that those opposing the plans are more than "just a few local mothers". The Chamber of Commerce, schools, elected councillors, traders and business owners have all thrown their support behind scrapping the change.
The action group accepts the need for a centre, but not in this area.
"A rejection of this application will not deny help to the needy," they argue. "Similar help is already available at a number of establishments in Chelmsford. These centres currently have vacancies suggesting that more are not actually needed."
Mrs Murphy and Mrs Steed are also wary that a change of use would take away much needed accommodation in the town.
"Where will all the visitors stay if we keep losing accommodation? With the Flitch Trials next year we need to promote a vibrant town that people will be encouraged to visit.
"The centre will not bring trade, income or tourism to the town.
"In fact what the benefit to the Dunmow community will be has yet to be explained."

Asides being the seat of government, Abuja is known for its expansive infrastructure and sprawling properties.
But despite this reality, the high number of unoccupied houses in the nation's capital is gradually becoming a cause for concern, especially as many residents cannot afford the rent.
According to the Federal Capital Territory Administration, the housing deficit for the nation's capital now hovers around 1.7 and two million.
It also says at least 600 abandoned buildings have been identified by the authorities, with most of them located in Gwarimpa, Wuse, Garki, Maitama, Asokoro and Apo – way above the means of most civil servants.
Consequently, they have to seek more affordable accommodation in the outskirts of the city.
Lamenting about the situation, the convener, Abuja Housing Show, Festus Adebayo noted that the vacant houses are a result of corruption.
"The vacant houses are caused by corruption. Few Nigerians have cornered the commonwealth of this country and what are we doing about it?
"When you come to Abuja, you'll see people living in some villages that you can't even pronounce their names properly and every morning you see heavy traffic along those suburbs because the people have to come to the city in the name of earning their daily bread," he said.
Also addressing the matter, the Director, FCT Development Control Department, Muktar Galadima explained that they are making moves to take over the properties.
"We are proposing to the Federal Executive Council, if they can come in and acquire some of these properties and maybe as a way of solving the housing deficit of the country, giving it out to staff and other Nigerians," he said.
Meanwhile, the Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission (ICPC) says it will commence an investigation into the ownership of the unoccupied houses in Federal Capital Territory.

Ah autumn and winter how we love you! Tis' the season to enjoy this divine Persimmon Salad topped with moreish candied hazelnuts and flaky coconut chips.
What Is a Persimmon?
A persimmon is a fruit that originated from China. It is also widely grown in Korea and Japan and is now much more widespread around the world. There are 2 types of persimmons. The Hachiya, which is acorn or heart shaped with a paler coloured skin whilst the Fuyu persimmon is shaped like a tomato with a bright orange skin.
I grew up on the fuyu persimmon and over the years I have come to realise that there are 2 kinds of persimmon eaters. Either you like it hard and crunchy or you wait until it's really ripe and becomes soft and super sweet. I'm of the crunchy variety and in fact, think it's gross when its soft and starts to take on a jelly like consistency. It is by no means off, just ripe.
When Is the Persimmon Season?
The persimmon is an autumn/winter fruit that is generally available for about 3-4 months. Lucky for us, Phen's in-laws have a fruitful persimmon tree and every year we're graced with a generous bag of organically grown fruit. I naturally had to take full advantage of it and create a salad for the season.
What Are Some Persimmon Benefits?
Like most fruit and vegetables eaten raw, it has many wonderful health benefits. It is low in fat, high in antioxidants, a good source of Vitamin C, Vitamin B and has anti-inflammatory benefits.
What is Pomegranate Molasses?
Pomegranate molasses is a staple in my pantry and it is one of my many go-to ingredients when making a salad dressing. Pomegranate molasses is simply pomegranate syrup or reduced pomegranate juice. You can buy this off the shelf easily.
This thick syrup is not sweet and in fact has a great tang to it, which is a great substitute for red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar when I want to sweeten a dressing up without having to add honey or sugar.
You can even make the pomegranate molasses yourself if you are so inclined. Just blend up the arils of a pomegranate and through a sieve, extract the juice. Place in a saucepan with some lemon and sugar (if you wish) and let it simmer until its reduced to a thick syrup.
Why I Love Persimmon Salad with Candied Hazelnuts and Coconut
I love being able to take advantage of seasonal produce as that means I can treat my guests with a salad that is not always readily available. Persimmons make for the perfect salad ingredients as it's naturally crunchy and sweet, making it a fantastic companion to yet another dinner party worthy leafy salad.
How to Make Persimmon Salad with Candied Hazelnuts and Coconut
How to Make Candied Hazelnuts
Candied nuts are so moreish. Once I start, I have to have great willpower to stop. And for this recipe, I couldn't go past some candied hazelnuts to accompany the persimmon.
The first thing we want to do is to remove the skin of the hazelnut as it's bitter and it's not a flavour I was after for this persimmon salad. Essentially, we are going to use the boil and rub method whereby you place the hazelnuts in a saucepan of boiling water for about 15 minutes.
Drain the hazelnuts and place them in a towel and rub off the skin. Sometimes I use my hands and it's good enough. Occasionally the really stubborn ones need to be peeled with your fingers.
Once the skin is off, place them on a baking tray lined with baking paper and put it into the oven for 10 minutes at 180°C or 350°F. We want them nice and roasted before caramelising them.
In the meantime, in a small bowl, mix 4 tbsp of sugar with 1 tbsp of water. When the hazelnut is roasted, place them in the sugar and water mixture and coat them well. Return them to the baking tray and back in the oven for another 20 minutes or until caramelised to your liking.
How to Prepare the Persimmon and Apples
Whilst all that is going on, peel the persimmon. Cut them in half and then cut them into thin wedges.
Cut the apple into thin slices. Put them in salted water to stop them from browning. Wash them when you're ready to serve to get rid of the saltiness but make sure they are dry. We don't want a soggy salad!
How to Make the Pomegranate Molasses Dressing
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar and pomegranate molasses until well combined.
How to Assemble the Salad
In a large mixing bowl, add all the ingredients together, pour in the dressing, season with salt and pepper and toss.
Serve immediately.
If persimmons are not a fruit you've come across or completely accustomed to, I implore you to seek them out during the Fall or Autumn season and give it a try. This persimmon salad will make for a great addition to the Thanksgiving and Christmas table for our Northern Hemisphere entertainers!
That's all!

Persimmon Salad with Candied Hazelnuts and Coconut
- ¼ cup hazelnuts
- 4 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp water
- 2 persimmons, fuyu
- 1 red apple
- 80 g mixed leaves
- ⅓ cup coconut flakes
- salt, to taste
- pepper, to taste
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1½ tbsp pomegranate molasses
- Add hazelnuts into a small saucepan of boiling water for 15 minutes. Drain. Use a towel to rub off the skin or rub/peel them with your hands. Placed the peeled hazelnuts onto a sheet pan lined with baking paper and roast in the oven for 10 minutes at 180°C or 350°F.
- Remove hazelnuts and add to a mixture of 4 tbsp of sugar and 1 tbsp of water. Pour mixture back onto the sheet pan and roast for a further 20 minutes until caramelised.
- Peel the persimmon. Cut it in half and then cut into thin wedges. Set aside.
- Cut the apple into thin slices. Place in salted water to stop the apple from browning. When ready to serve, wash the apples to remove the saltiness and dry on a paper towel.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk the olive oil, balsamic vinegar and pomegranate molasses until well combined.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the persimmons, mixed salad leaves, apple, coconut chips and candied hazelnuts.
- Pour in dressing and season with salt and pepper.
- Toss the salad until evenly coated.
- Serve immediately.
- If the hazelnuts are too big for your liking, you can chop them up into smaller pieces.
- You can pretty much candy any nut of your choosing. Consume the nut element raw to make this a low lectin salad recipe.
- You can toast the coconut chip if you're after an extra texture although the persimmon and apple provide enough of a crunch element.
You're loving this Persimmon Salad with Candied Hazelnuts and Coconut recipe and now you need ideas for a main course that will pair well with it? Check out these delicious main course recipes for some inspiration.

Considering that Obito, Kakashi and Madara all knew the name of Kamui without someone telling them, can we conclude that those who have the Mangekyō Sharingan know the name of its exclusive power? (Obito's Kamui, Shisui's Kotoamatsukami, Itachi's Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi, Sasuke's Amaterasu and Blaze Release: Kagutsuchi, and everyone's Susanoo)
Feel free to ask the other question in a new question. – nhahtdh Aug 20 '15 at 16:32
That's OK. I'll do it later. This one comes first. – Madara Aug 20 '15 at 16:34
2Don't lie... you are really Obito aren't you? We already know the real Madara Uchiha here... – kaine Aug 20 '15 at 17:24
You got me... Guess I'll go home then... :( – Madara Aug 20 '15 at 17:45
Anybody know anything? – Madara Aug 20 '15 at 21:20
Yes, only the ones with the Mangekyō Sharingan know the names of their techniques.
Taking an example, Obito and Kakashi had Obito's Mangekyō Sharingan. And they had the same Mangekyō technique (Kamui). Considering that Kakashi and Obito never saw each other or trained together after they awakened the Mangekyō, it is not a coincidence that both call their technique "Kamui".
In raw terms (sorry for the bad example), consider the Mangekyō Sharingan as a system, and it has two processes: A.exe and B.exe (the Mangekyō techniques). The two processes are already named, installed and stored in the system. And for the user to access it, all it needs is the fulfilment of the system requirements (loss of a loved one). So, when the uses has access to the processes, they naturally will know what to call it, since its already named and stored.
I hope this answers how the users know the names of their MS techniques. Nothing can be said about how the MS techniques are named because the current level of evidence is inconclusive.
1About that last comment, when Madara tried to take away his Rinnegan from Obito, Obito used Kamui to get intangible, this surprised Madara and he said: "I passed through you. That's you right eye's original ability." Also, he heard Obito/Kakashi say "Kamui" when trying to take Naruto and Sakura to the other dimension... – Madara Sep 3 '15 at 20:13
1Oh I didn't know about that. Thanks for the info. Answer updated :) – Ero Sɘnnin Sep 4 '15 at 16:22

text: pwhodges 0 Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 I have been asked about the statement by some teachers (in Germany, as it happens) that Bach's Preludes and Fugues must be played with a strict simple speed relationship (like 1:1, 2:1 or whatever). This was in the context of the 48, but I guess is being thought of more widely. I've never come across this idea as an absolute requirement. Does anyone here have either a view on this or an authoritative source for it? Paul Link to post Share on other sites

There has been a lot of buzz around UPI gateway of Digital Payment Apps in the recent times after the advent of demonetization in 2016. Following this trend, Google has released an app called 'Tez' (meaning fast in Hindi) focusing on the widely spoken language in India. The app supports language English, Hindi, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Marathi, Tamil, and Telugu.
But, how is Tez different from payment apps that fall into other categories like dedicated Bank Apps, Digital wallets and UPI based apps like BHIM? Google's Tez app is similar to apps like BHIM, PhonePe etc which have utilized the concept of money transfer through UPI that enables money transfer directly from one bank account to another, unlike digital wallets like Paytm, Mobikwik etc which have to be loaded with money for the transfer.
Dedicated Bank apps dispense payment gateways like RTGS, NEFT, and IMPS to their consumers which charge from anywhere around ₹2.5 to ₹50 depending on the mode of transfer and amount of money transferred. Whereas apps like Paytm, BHIM, Tez etc do not charge any money for the transfer. All these apps have a limit for money transfer, Tez app has an upper cap of ₹1,00,000 per day compared to ₹20,000 on Paytm. Tez supports only a maximum limit of 20 transactions per day in contrast to unlimited transactions on Paytm.
Apart from this, Google's Tez app also introduced a unique feature 'Cash Mode' which allows users to transfer money without having to share personal and financial information. This patented technology called Audio QR (AQR) which uses ultrasound waves to connect two phones to transfer money with one another. There were other firms like Lisnr and Chirp which used AQR for data transfer much before Google but Google was the first to use the same technology for money transfer. This AQR tech also seems to have worked in noisy environments as advertised by Google.
In a broader sense, AQR technology will cater to the diversified Indian consumer segment, the urban and rural markets, considering the fact that even today a large section of Indians use feature phones rather than smartphones. All feature phones have basic features like speaker and microphone which is sufficient for the AQR tech to function. Even though all the feature phones have Bluetooth, connecting two devices on Bluetooth is inconvenient and time-consuming even on high-end smartphones let alone the basic devices. Other service providers like Paytm use transfer through QR code which also has posed a problem as it required the users to open the camera and align it to the code on the other screen. But not everyone is adept at using Bluetooth or QR tech. With Tez, devices don't necessarily have to equipped with NFC chip or bear with hassles of Bluetooth or QR codes. Something as basic as that will make digital payments accessible for netizens across the country.
Tez also stands as a portal for businesses to create custom channels. This creates a platform for the businesses to interact with the customers directly, thereby enabling them to share special offers, subscriptions, loyalty programs etc on the Tez app itself without having need of a standalone app for their business.

For the past year, I have been getting questions on what's going on in the erstwhile Waldo's Coffee House (and briefly Boulevard Coffee) at 1050 Heights Boulevard. That answer is apparently "almost brewed and ready to serve."
The owners of a venture known as EQ Heights, also known as Equilibrium Social House, have been tweeting photos of their renovation project at the site for the last two weeks (posted here), and judging by them, opening day looks like it's not far away.
The plan, which The Heights Life posted on Facebook earlier this week, is for far more than just coffee though. Coffee, tea and a full breakfast and lunch menu will be on offer. There will be an updated interior, as well as an option for private meeting rooms.
And to answer the most asked question (of me anyway), dogs will still be welcome on the outdoor patio.
For more information, EQ Heights is easily accessible on their web site at eqheights.com (, though as I write this, there's just the company logo on there, so it's a bit of a work in progress), Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.
Pete Teo and German cinema at 14 Pews
Of course, while EQ Heights continues its work, over in the Sunset Heights, 14 Pews, 800 Aurora, continues its full winter slate.
Award-winning Malaysian musician Pete Teo (which my clearly non-Malaysian autocorrect insists should be spelled "Two"), after a showing of the 15Malaysia film series, which he produced, at the Museum of Fine Arts tonight, is set to perform an acoustic set at 14 Pews followed by a happy hour and talkback Saturday, Jan. 24, from 7:30-9 p.m. Here's what the 14 Pews website has on Teo:
Pete Teo is one of the most successful artists in Malaysia. In a glittering career spanning over 20 years, his music has won numerous industry awards (including 5 AIM Awards, Malaysia's equivalent to the Grammys) and his films have been exhibited at international film festivals from Cannes and Venice to Busan and Tokyo as well as the Golden Horse Taipei and the Pompidou Centre in Paris. His recent works include the groundbreaking '15Malaysia' short film project as well as wildly popular socio-political viral videos 'Here In My Home', 'Undilah' and 'Hari Malaysia' – all of which have garnered a total of more than 18 million views on the Internet to date. Pete was named Man Of The Year in Malaysia twice and was listed by CNN as amongst the top 135 Asians to watch in 2011. Other than making music and films, he helps run an organic farm just outside Kuala Lumpur.
And here is the man himself:
The show is pay-as-you-can, but the suggested donation is $10.
Also, 14 Pews will continue its German film series with a screening of the 1963 East German comedy "Carbide and Sorrel" at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 28. The film will be followed by a discussion led by Rice University German history professor Lora Wildenthal.

I am working on a time animation where I would like the symbology to be graduated. I am using ArcGIS Pro 2.0.
I have one polygon which is joined to a table containing the temporal data and values for the symbology to be taken from. Polygon ID is Area1 and the subsequent temporal data has a field with Area1 next to all of the time and values I want. The join itself appears to be working as when I skip through time the labelling changes to reflect the value in each time field.
However when I try to add graduated symbology it only finds the initial value from the join and does not allow me to use all of the values to create the symbology I want.
This blog https://resources.esri.ca/getting-technical/geodatabase-secrets-creating-animations-with-a-one-to-many-join says it is possible in ArcMap so I would presume it should also be possible in ArcPro.
Can anyone offer any assistance?
Thanks in advance.

A recent study attempting to quantify some of the economic costs of a warming climate argues that the optimal temperature for human productivity seems to be 13°C. As the Washington Post reports:
Culling together economic and temperature data for over 100 wealthy and poorer countries alike over 50 years, the researchers assert that the optimum temperature for human productivity is seems to be around 13 degrees Celsius or roughly 55 degrees Fahrenheit, as an annual average for a particular place.
But there is already a large corpus of literature attempting to explain why wealth and productivity differ in different countries and most of these see temperature as a minor or accidental factor. Examples are Wealth and Poverty of Nations by David Landes and Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond.

"Give Your Child the World," by Jamie C. Martin
I recently had the chance to read Give Your Child the World, by Jamie C. Martin. This nonfiction book was released on June 7, 2016 by Zondervan.
About this book (from the back cover):
Featuring a carefully curated reading treasury of the best children's literature for each area of the globe, as well as practical parenting suggestions and inspiration, Give Your Child the World helps moms and dads raise insightful, compassionate kids who fall in love with the world and are prepared to change it for good.
Young children live with awe and wonder as their daily companions. But as they grow, worries often crowd out wonder. Knowing this, how can parents strengthen their kids' love for the world so it sticks around for the long haul?
Thankfully, parents have at their fingertips a miracle vaccine–one that can boost their kids' immunity to the world's distractions. STORY.
Well-chosen stories connect us with others, even those on the other side of the globe. Build your kids' lives on a story-solid foundation and you'll give them armor to shield themselves from the world's cynicism. You'll give them confidence to persevere in the face of life's conflicts. You'll give them a reservoir of compassion that spills over into a lifetime of love in action.
Give Your Child the World includes more than 600 children's book recommendations from around the world. Reading lists are organized by region, country, and age range (ages 4-12). Each listing includes a brief description of the book, its themes, and any content of which parents should be aware.
Parents can introduce their children to the world from the comfort of home by simply opening a book together. Give Your Child the World is poised to become a bestselling family reading treasury that promotes literacy, develops a global perspective, and strengthens family bonds while increasing faith and compassion.
My Verdict:
I love book lists. I have multiple copies of "Honey for a Child's Heart" and "The Read-Aloud Handbook" at my house, and I love to give both as baby shower gifts. Give Your Child the World is joining those two as one of my very favorites! It's a carefully cultivated book list from a global perspective. Martin started this list for her own family, where they celebrate each other's cultures through good books (her family covers four continents, as her husband is from England, one of her sons is from Liberia, and her daughter is from India.) One of the best things about this book is the number of new-to-me titles! I love finding out about new books that I think my children will love. Books are indexed by author, country/region, historical period, and title. In addition to all the great book recommendations, I enjoyed the mini-interviews throughout the book where families describe what "giving your children the world" looks like in their homes. Finally, I don't often pay attention to celebrity book endorsements, but when a book features blurbs from both LeVar Burton and Ann Voskamp, you know it's going to be a keeper!
The Read-Aloud Revival Podcast (one of my favorites) has a great interview with Jamie here, and they are also offering a "Give Your Child the World" summer reading book club. You can find all about that here.
If you'd like to check out Give Your Child the World it is currently on sale for $8.99 for the Kindle version right now (regularly $16.99.) If you prefer a physical copy the paperback version is currently on sale for $9.89. Remember, Amazon's prices can change at any time.

Australia is to be the first recipient of a combined Lotus and IBM developer program that falls under the global umbrella of IBM's ambitious PartnerWorld initiative.
Focused on software, the alliance between IBM Software Group and Lotus Development will combine the presently disparate business partner programs and members into one cohesive group called PartnerWorld for IBM and Lotus.
The program will focus on the e-business strengths of IBM, Lotus and their partners, and facilitate partner access to the vendors and customer access to the partners. "IBM's channel understand where IBM is driving e-business through its E-business Application Framework but Lotus partners have only concentrated on Lotus software. This program will allow them to understand the broader concept and provide the customer with more complete solutions," claimed Steve Blunt, channel sales director for Lotus, who said e-business training and enablement sessions are already underway.
Under this new guise, Lotus' 450 Australian and New Zealand partners and IBM's 350 local developer partners, many of them overlapping, will be classified under three new partner tiers, Member, Advanced and Premier.
The Member category is the entry level to the program and provides partners with access to Lotus and IBM technology. However, participants are only able to stay a member for 12 months. "Previously, partners could join the program and then sit there indefinitely. Now we would like them to actively get technically competent and certified and move onto the next level within 12 months," said Blunt.
Advanced partners need to show a strong commitment to IBM and Lotus software by using it internally as well as showing a high level of competency proven through certification.
Premier members are the elite of the program and focus on solution deployment and service delivery.
"Previously, IBM and Lotus software focused on our partners being technically competent. But under the PartnerWorld program we are broadening this criteria to include the four c's: commitment, contribution, competency and customer satisfaction," explained Blunt.
In return, Lotus and IBM will provide partners with access to $US100,000 worth of software, sales and promotional assistance, up to 40 free support incidents, financial assistance with technical training and regular communication, and access to IBM and Lotus.
The revised partner arrangements are still in the organisational stage with Blunt expecting partners and their positions in the hierarchy to be finalised by September. "In July all of the partners were approached directly and were asked to look at joining the new structure. Our goal is to have as many rejoin as possible but some will choose not to and those that do must advance past the member stage in the next 12 months," stressed Blunt.
However, the worldwide rollout of this project is only scheduled for sometime next year along with a series of other PartnerWorld announcements. "Australia is very much leading the charge and the Asia-Pacific is only slightly behind. But worldwide, the combined software partner program will only be rolled out under the PartnerWorld umbrella during 2000 amid a lot of other activity," said Blunt.
The basics of the plans for the year 2000 were announced at IBM's Solutions 99 conference in Las Vegas last week, with Bob Buie, worldwide channel manager, outlining an independent software vendor (ISV) initiative and a dedicated channel portal. "We are conducting seminars and training for ISVs on what they need to do and think to become channel-aware and ready. We call it Channel 101," said Buie.
IBM will also prepare for ISVs a specific channel deployment policy and then link the ISV to a global subcontractor already versed in the ways of the channel. "IBM, our partners and an ISV's special subcontractor can provide the ISV with education, marketing initiatives and introduce them to channel players," explained Buie.
The channel portal will provide partners with a single point of entry to IBM and comes equipped with profiler technology. "Once a partner has entered their details such as name, business, focus, favourite publications and so on, we can provide them with all the information they need, including access to other vendors, publications and relevant people in IBM," Buie said.
