Linux Hosting Or Window Hosting? which one is better ?
Whether to choose Linux or Windows Hosting completely depends on the applications which are available on Linux and Windows, these applications are necessary for your website to function. If you are interested in running Apps like VBSscript, ASP, Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Access and you don't want to learn about the working of Linux then the best option for you is Windows Hosting.
Whereas if you want to avoid the high licensing fees and you are on a tight budget then Linux will be a better option, since its an open source software. Also scripting language like MySQL, Perl and PHP run better on Linux based servers.
Choose according to your won requirements as both Linux and Windows hosting have their own advantages as well as Dis-advantages.
I have been hosting on Linux (LAMP stack) since last 8 years and have found no issues. Linux is much more lightweight and stable than Windows hosting.
But if you development requirement requires Microsoft technologies like .net and VB / SQL Server etc, then you have no other option but to go for Windows.
and for php linux hosting is best option..


As we saw last week San Francisco Rush 2049 was one of the most fun racers on the N64. It was a sheer joy to play. So imagine how happy I was when I heard that they were converting it to my beloved Gameboy.
Now I'm a realist. A 64bit console experience was never going to squeeze on to an 8bit Gameboy. Certain scarafices would have to be made. One of them I noticed on the box art. It was going to be an isometric top down racer ala Micro Machines (one of the most fun multiplayer games of the 16bit era) which wasn't a bit problem. The graphics looked colourful and managed to at least capture the tone of the original. Or so you'd hope.
So on getting the game, it was a new release and already reduced to £10 which should have been an instant red flag I admit, I was excited. Then I tried playing the game and released that yup. I should've noticed the red flag.
And erm… That's it. The graphics did look good. But they were also a large part of the problem. To try and replicate the futuristic feel of the original the tracks were full of billboards surrounding them which you'd spend large times trapped behind as you could not see where you were going. There was also a lot, and I mean A LOT of tunnels which had the same issue. Whilst in the often lengthy tunnels, often full of corners, your car was essentially invisible so it was a question of press and hope for the best.
That wasn't the only issue either. The controls were problematic to say the least. They were similar to micromachines in that left or right related to the direction the car was facing rather than left or right on the screen. They work perfectly in micromachines but here? Not so much. Mostly because the cars had a habit of changing direction automatically if the game thought you were lost which was frustrating as it'd mean you'd crash in to a wall as you weren't given time to react.
The biggest deal breaker on the game was the opponents AI. Even on easy mode they were ALWAYS faster than you and they NEVER made a mistake. Ever. It was impossible to win which instantly sapped all the fun from the game. The game had a password system so if you wanted to see the extra tracks you'd need to find a magazine with them listed. Or just work it out. Level 1 was AAA, Level 2 was AAB, any guesses what level 3 was? Yup. AAC.
This game then was ultimately a lesson in disappointment. Just because it's a version of something you live it really doesn't mean it'll be any good. Just ask Sonic The Hedgehog on what happened when he went to the Xbox 360… But that's a fail for another time.

Going From a Business to a Nonprofit Career
Did this get on your New Year's Resolution list?
Business professionals interested in transitioning into a career in the nonprofit sector is not unusual in today's world. But it hasn't always been that way. During my early days as an executive recruiter for nonprofit organizations, it was rare that I came across a business professional who was interested in giving up a business career to join a nonprofit organization. There were several reasons for this.
First, business professionals who were interested in nonprofits typically expressed their interest through volunteer activities and through their personal financial contributions. If an experienced CPA, for example, had a desire to apply her skills for the benefit of an inner-city financial counseling organization, she could volunteer her time and talents and come away feeling that she had given back something to the community. She wouldn't have to become an employee of that agency in order to achieve this sense of altruism, this feeling of doing good and helping others who were less fortunate. And she certainly would not have had to trade off her more than adequate compensation in the business sector for a lower paying nonprofit financial management job in order to be fulfilled in this way. Business aspirations and earning potential were very distinct and totally removed from altruistic aspirations.
Second, I had the clear impression that the nonprofit sector was something of an anomaly to business professionals, resting somewhere between the world of religion and the world of public service. To many business professionals, nonprofits really were an alien "Third Sector," a separate world that existed for the benefit of do-gooders who seemingly walked out of Father Flanagan's Boy's Town movie set, took vows of poverty and lived fairly cloistered and uneventful lives. It is not difficult to understand how this misconception prevailed for so long because most of the earliest nonprofit organizations were founded and served by religious and faith-based groups.
One can understand how the nonprofit sector has been tagged with theological connotations when you multiply the charitable influence that major religious denominations have had in this country by establishing many of the colleges, universities, hospitals, human service organizations and international aid groups over the past 200 years.
Third, while the number of nonprofit organizations in the United States has grown at a remarkably consistent rate over the past century, it has been a very quiet phenomenon. So, nonprofit leadership opportunities were not even on the radar of business professionals. In reality, the nonprofit sector has been one of the fastest growing of all economic sectors, but it has been the least publicized . Today there are approximately 1.5 million tax-exempt organizations in the United States, with about 9 million employees and more than 80 million volunteers that now comprise the Third Sector. Nonprofits account for approximately 10 percent of the entire U.S. economy and 30,000 new charities, on average, are formed each year. In addition to taxes paid as employers, nonprofits contribute to the "in-kind" productivity of the economy as well. According to the Labor Department, approximately 45 percent of the adult population donates an average of 4.3 hours per person of volunteer service every week.
Finally, business professionals generally had little of the above information that could help them understand the impact and depth of the economic contribution of the nonprofit sector, let alone the leadership opportunities on which they might build their careers. There are no Dow Jones Industrial Averages, no S&P 500s, no stock tickers for nonprofits. The metrics that measure and compare the performance of tax-exempt organizations in the nonprofit sector are very different. Through the efforts of such organizations as The Independent Sector and with the emergence of numerous nonprofit web sites such as GuideStar and Charity Navigator, that has changed and much more information is available today.
What's the status of business-to-nonprofit career transition today? I will be addressing that in my next blog post.

"I'm going home with a bad feeling" - Afghanistan coach questions refereeing
Goal.com March 24, 2019
Following his charges' 2-1 defeat to hosts Malaysia in their Airmarine Cup third-place decider match on Saturday, Afghanistan boss Anoush Dastgir made known of his displeasure.
"As I've said before, I'm happy with the invitation by the Malaysian FA [to play in the tournament]. But I'm not happy about the game today. Okay, it's a friendly match, and we were playing against Malaysia, I can understand.
"But it gives a bad feeling when you see this kind of penalty (foul) and you cannot get the penalty [call]. I also watched the game against Singapore (Malaysia's semi-final encounter against Singapore)... I don't want to say a lot about it, but I'm not happy about the referees.
"I'm not saying we lost today because of the referee, but this gives me a bad feeling. Even in this kind of (invitational) tournaments we have to play fair. I'm going home with a really bad feeling," said the 29-year old trainer in the post-match press conference.
Dastgir was referring to an incident in the 60th minute of the encounter, when his forward Jabar Shayza went down in the Malaysia penalty box, ostensibly after he was shoved from the back by centre back Shahrul Saad. However, Thai referee Chaireag Ngamsam adjudged the incident as simulation on the attacker's part, and booked him for it.
However, highlights of the match showed that any contact made by the defender was minimal, suggesting that the official has made the right call.
The trainer nevertheless that the two matches his side has played in the tournament has provided more experience in terms of playing in Asia, weather-wise, as most of his players are based or grew up in Europe.
"What we have learnt is that the players and the coaching staff that we will have games in this weather a lot, because we'll not be playing in Europe, but in Asia [in the upcoming World Cup/Asian Cup qualifiers].
"We have to improve more," said Dastgir, who grew up in the Netherlands himself.

You have toiled many years so that you can bring success to your invention and on that day now seems being approaching quickly. Suddenly, you realize that during all that time while you were staying up late at night and working weekends toward marketing or licensing your invention, you failed supply any thought to a couple of basic business fundamentals: Should you form a corporation to manage your newly acquired business? A limited partnership perhaps or simply a sole-proprietorship? What the actual tax repercussions of selecting one of choices over the some other? What potential legal liability may you encounter? These tend to asked questions, and people who possess the correct answers might learn some careful thought and planning can now prove quite valuable in the future.
To begin with, we need to consider a cursory examine some fundamental business structures. The most well known is the corporation. To many, the term "corporation" connotes a complex legal and financial structure, but this is not truly so. A corporation, once formed, is treated as although it were a distinct person. It is able buy, sell and lease property, to initiate contracts, to sue or be sued in a courtroom and to conduct almost any other legitimate business. Greater a corporation, as you may well know, are that its liabilities (i.e. debts) cannot be charged against the corporations, shareholders. Various other words, if you've got formed a small corporation and and also your a friend the particular only shareholders, neither of you may be held liable for debts entered into by the corporation (i.e. debts that either of your or any employees of the corporation entered into as agents of the corporation, and on its behalf).
The benefits of this occurence are of course quite obvious. With and selling your manufactured invention your corporation, you are protected from any debts that the corporation incurs (rent, utilities, etc.). More importantly, you are insulated from any legal judgments which the levied against tag heuer. For example, if you include the inventor of product X, and own formed corporation ABC to manufacture promote X, you are personally immune from liability in the presentation that someone is harmed by X and wins a program liability judgment against corporation ABC (the seller and manufacturer of X). Within a broad sense, these represent the concepts of corporate law relating to non-public liability. You always be aware, however that we have a few scenarios in which totally cut off . sued personally, it's also important to therefore always consult an attorney.
In the event that your corporation is sued upon a delinquent debt or product liability claim, any assets owned by this business are subject to some court judgment. Accordingly, while your personal belongings are insulated from corporate liabilities, any assets which your corporation owns are completely vulnerable. If you have bought real estate, computers, automobiles, office furnishings and etc through the corporation, InventHelp Products these are outright corporate assets and they can be attached, liened, virginianiven.tumblr.com or seized to satisfy a judgment rendered contrary to the corporation. And just these assets the affected by a judgment, so too may your patent if it is owned by tag heuer. Remember, invention idea patent rights are almost equivalent to tangible property. A patent may be bought, sold, inherited as well as lost to satisfy a court judgment.
What can you do, then, never use problem? The response is simple. If you consider hiring to go the business route to conduct business, do not sell or assign your patent to some corporation. Hold your patent personally, and license it for the corporation. Make sure you do not entangle your personal finances with the corporate finances. Always remember to write a corporate check to yourself personally as royalty/licensing compensation. This way, your personal assets (the patent) as well as the corporate assets are distinct.
So you might wonder, with all these positive attributes, won't someone choose to be able to conduct business any corporation? It sounds too good actually was!. Well, it is. Doing work through a corporation has substantial tax drawbacks. In corporate finance circles, the issue is known as "double taxation". If your corporation earns a $50,000 profit selling your invention, this profit is first taxed to this business (at an exceptionally high corporate tax rate which can approach 50%). Any moneys remaining a great first layer of taxation (let us assume $25,000 for our example) will then be taxed to you personally as a shareholder dividend. If the other $25,000 is taxed to you personally at, for example, a combined rate of 35% after federal, state and native taxes, all that will be left as a post-tax profit is $16,250 from the first $50,000 profit.
As you can see, this is often a hefty tax burden because the profits are being taxed twice: once at the corporate tax level so when again at the personal level. Since the business is treated with regard to individual entity for liability purposes, also, it is treated as such for tax purposes, and taxed in accordance with it. This is the trade-off for minimizing your liability. (note: there is a means to shield yourself from personal liability though avoid double taxation – it works as a "subchapter S corporation" and is usually quite sufficient for lots of inventors who are operating small to mid size opportunities. I highly recommend that you consult an accountant and discuss this option if you have further questions). Pick choose to incorporate, you should be able to locate an attorney to perform incorporate different marketing methods for under $1000. In addition it could be often be accomplished within 10 to 20 days if so needed.
And now on to one of probably the most common of business entities – truly the only proprietorship. A sole proprietorship requires nothing at all then just operating your business through your own name. Should you want to function with a company name which is distinct from your given name, your local township or city may often require you to register the name you choose to use, but the actual reason being a simple course. So, for example, if you wish to market your invention under a firm's name such as ABC Company, have to register the name and proceed to conduct business. This can completely different for this example above, where you would need to become through the more complex and expensive associated with forming a corporation to conduct business as ABC Corporation.
In addition to its ease of start-up, a sole proprietorship has the selling point of not being already familiar with double taxation. All profits earned coming from the sole proprietorship business are taxed towards the owner personally. Of course, there is often a negative side towards sole proprietorship in this particular you are personally liable for any debts and liabilities incurred by the business. This is the trade-off for not being subjected to double taxation.
A partnership the another viable option for many inventors. A partnership is an association of two or more persons or entities engaging in business together. Like a sole proprietorship, profits earned by the partnership are taxed personally to owners (partners) and double taxation is certainly. Also, similar to a sole proprietorship, the people who own partnership are personally liable for partnership debts and obligations. However, in a partnership, each partner is personally liable for the debts, contracts and liabilities of the other partners. So, any time a partner injures someone in his capacity as a partner in the business, you can be held personally liable for the financial repercussions flowing from his activity. Similarly, if your partner goes into a contract or incurs debt your partnership name, have the ability to your approval or knowledge, you can be held personally in charge.
Limited partnerships evolved in response to the liability problems built into regular partnerships. In a limited partnership, certain partners are "general partners" and control the day to day operations of the business. These partners, as in the same old boring partnership, may be held personally liable for partnership debts. "Limited partners" are those partners who perhaps not participate in day time to day functioning of the business, but are shielded from liability in their liability may never exceed the volume of their initial capital investment. If a smallish partner does be a part of the day to day functioning in the business, he or she will then be deemed a "general partner" might be subject to full liability for partnership debts.
It should be understood that these types of general business law principles and will probably be no way intended to be a replace thorough research to your part, or for retaining an attorney, accountant or business adviser. The principles I have outlined above are very general in style. There are many exceptions and limitations which space constraints do not permit me invest into further. Nevertheless, this article usually supplies you with enough background so you'll have a rough idea as to which option might be best for you at the appropriate time.

Die Reederei Delta Line aus New Orleans bestand von 1919 bis 1985. Die Kontorflagge zeigte den gelben griechischen Buchstaben Δ (Delta) auf grünem Grund.

Geschichte
Im Jahr 1919 gründeten US-amerikanische Kaffeehändler in New Orleans die Reederei  Mississippi Shipping Company, um einen direkten Liniendienst vom Mississippi-Delta am Golf von Mexiko an die südamerikanische Ostküste einzurichten.

In den Jahren 1946/47 setzte die Reederei das Schiffstrio der Del-Triplets (deutsch: Del Drillinge) in Fahrt. Zwei Jahre darauf verfügte die Reederei über 14 Schiffe mit einem Rauminhalt von rund 98.000 BRT. 1962 glich das Unternehmen den Namen Mississippi Shipping Company an das inoffiziell schon lange vorher praktizierte Delta Line an.

Im Laufe der 1970er Jahre verpasste die Delta Line die Containerisierung ihrer Flotte, woraufhin sie 1982 nach schwerwiegenden finanziellen Verlusten von der Muttergesellschaft Holiday Inn Corporation an die größte US-amerikanische Schleppreederei Crowley Maritime, veräußert wurde. Auch Crowley scheiterte an der Modernisierung der Delta-Flotte und gab die Reederei 1985 nach weiteren Verlusten an die United States Lines weiter. Diese gliederte die Delta-Flotte in ihre eigene ein und brach im Folgejahr selber zusammen.

International Scientific Conference, "Human Capital in Kazakhstan: Status and Growth Prospects
Full Text Pdf| Abstract| PPT Text| Korean
Astana is the capital of Kazakhstan. I was impressed on my mind by the kind people and quiet city, covered with white snow during my first visit. Astana that became the national capital from Almaty, the largest in 1997 is newly well-planned built modern city and construction work are going up continuously, even cold weather in winter. I visit to this smart new city for attending the international conference on human capital. The conference was held at the L.N. Gulilyov Eurasian University on Feb. 22, 2013.
It was organized on the theme of International Scientific Conference "Human Capital in Kazakhstan: Status and Prospects of Growth" by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Committee on Social-Cultural Development of Majilis of the Parliament of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Fund of the First President-Leader of Nation and L.N. Gulilyov Eurasian University.
Seong Min Hong
The opening ceremony started at AM 09.30 with the keynote speech by Mr. Bakhytzhan Zhumagulov, Minister of Education and Science. The first theme on "Social and Economic Modernization and Human Development in Kazakhstan" presented by Dr. Dariga Nazarbayeva, Chairwoman of Social-Cultural Development Committee of Majilis of the Parliamen. Shortly after the others presentation, the highlight subject on "Human Capital and Factors of its improving in Kazakhstan" by Prof. Kenzhegali Sagadiev, President of the University of International Business was proceeded ahead of me. In his speech, he emphasized that human capital is a basis and foundation of innovative economy and societal knowledge, which are being developed in contemporary Kazakhstan.
After K. Sagadiev, I made a speech by the title of "Korea's Experience on Human Resources Role in the Community Development ", emphasizing the modernization in Korea owed the role of human resources to youth leaders in community development. The conference was continued till the evening all day long except lunch time. After the conference, the reception on the occasion of the 75th jubilee of NAS of RK Academician K. Sagadiev was held at Saltanat Saray that was decorated with the elegance Russian style.
I was deeply impressed by the respect about a scholar, even his long study and old aged, and passion and continuous work. The celebration party continued till the mid night and also congratulated on his 75th anniversary with the foreign participant. The ceremony reminded me of the great economist and Kazakhstan itself.
I'd like to express my hearty thanks for all members of committee. Particularly I'd like to give my thanks to H.E. Murat Orunkhanov, vice minister of education and science, Dr. Meruert Narenova, Fulbright Scholar, Z.

Hoping for seeing the glorious Kazakhstan's development in the near future, I also give my special thanks for helping the participation of the valuable conference to Mr. Timur Shalabayev and Miss Aigu L.. Taking this opportunity, I applaud Prof. K.Sagadiev to the remarkable academic achievement once again and wish you to contribute to the development of Kazakhstan with more good health and vigorous passion.
Kazakhstan Conference
Human Capital and Factors of its Growth in Kazakhstan*
In modern society, a person becomes not only a goal but also a resources for social and economic development. This resource is increasing in significance among other factors of development -human capital as an object of investment is becoming more essential than basic capital and technology. Thus, human capital is a basis and foundation of innovative economy and societal knowledge, which are being developed in our contemporary world, including Kazakhstan. Such an understanding is growing strongly in the whole world and there is a consistent turn of policy towards comprehensive consolidation and accumulation of human potential. In short, human capital is becoming the core, the main axis, around which the majority of other factors of modern economic transformation are circulating(K.Sagadiev, 2013: 1).
Prof. K.Sagadiev
Social and cultural capital can also be fairly referred to as the factors influencing human capital in the country. Traditional values of a society within the framework of transition to a market economy are exposed to certain erosion, with values of self-expression and secular-rational values are growing, which to some extent, can influence on the growth of human potential. But such specific cultural features of the people as unwillingness to follow the laws and regulations, the lack of a "production culture", intertia, autocratic leadership style can negatively affect the level of human capital of the nation. Therefore it is necessary to pay attention to the above factors, and take purposeful actions in order for these activities to work on the actual of human potential(ibid.: 20).
Human capital exceeds the level of physical capital in OECD countries from 2 to 7 times. This excess in Kazakhstan in 2007 was 7.4 times and in 2011 -8.8 times. The growth in 2011 was due to serious efforts (increase in funding) taken by Kazakhstan to promote education, health and living standards.
In addition, there are two more significant comparisons. In 2011, OECD has conducted a study of competitiveness potential of Central Asia countries, where it noted that human capital central Asia is less developed than it should be and should be developed to achieve the objectives of increasing competitiveness and productivity growth.
The main factors influencing on growth of human capital reserves are the rise in the educational level of population and aging. Those countries where the effect of the first factor dominates the second have a positive trend of human capital reserves. Kazakhstan, with 29 years of average population age, can count on a positive trend(ibid.: 23).
* RIES introduces some issues which K.Sagadiev emphasized at the Astana international conference on Feb. 22, 2013. We feel sorry for not introducing the full text of his presentation due to the limit of space. Please see more details and his career on the http://www.sagadiev.com/ website.

RIES Study
Kazakhstan proclaimed the independence in 1991 and joined independence national union on May 1992. It is the 9th large country in the world and possesses enormous fossil fuel reserves and plentiful supplies of other minerals and metals, such as uranium, copper, and zinc. It also has a large agricultural sector featuring livestock and grain.
Ethnic Kazakhs, a mix of Turkic and Mongol nomadic tribes who migrated into the region in the 13th century, were rarely united as a single nation. The area was conquered by Russia in the 18th century, and Kazakhstan became a Soviet Republic in 1936.
Kazakhstan's economy is larger than those of all the other Central Asian states largely due to the country's vast natural resources.
In 2002 Kazakhstan became the first country in the former Soviet Union to receive an investment-grade credit rating. Kazakhstan relies on its neighbors to export its products, especially oil and grain. Although its Caspian Sea ports, pipelines, and rail lines carrying oil have been upgraded, civil aviation and roadways continue to need attention.

Korea's Experience on Human Resources Role in the Community Development
Seong Min Hong, Ph.D., RIES[1]
In 1970s, Korea which was one of the poorest countries in the world achieved a great success of industrialization. At that time, Korea was traditionally agricultural society. When the peasants are free from farm work in rural area, most of them lost their employment. The decadent culture such as gambling or drinking was spreading with a frustration. Government did not overlook this point and planned to use the latent labor force.
The background of new community movement was caused by the mental reform and influenced the change of rural community. It was famous for "Saemaul Undong (SMU) or New Village Movement" and was the cornerstone of Korean modernization.
As is well known, Korean hand skill like using the chopsticks is excellent. The method of changing the 'idle hand' into the 'working hand' was efficient to induce village workers to the urban workers. However government has no capital accumulation. Government found a way out of this difficulty. The effective solution is the export as an exit of industrial products.
'Mental reform' played a decisive role in Korean modernization. Korea with insufficient resources and capital accumulation has good human resources. Thanks to the excellent hand skill, the government needed of motive to transform the "idle hand" into the "working hand". This thinking caused the success of SMU, particularly youth leaders in rural areas took the lead in developing the traditional society.
Modernization in Korea owed the role of human resources to youth leaders in community development. Needless to say, it may be somewhat unreasonable that Kazakhstan's economic system applies to Korean model of economic development. Unlike Korea's economic circumstance in the 1970s, the industrial structure of Kazakhstan that has large territory and a lot of natural resources, particularly energy resources differs from Korea's economic structure.
In this paper, I would like to emphasize the importance of human resources in the economic development. The 'mental reform' of rural community in the process of the economic development is very important and the training of youth leaders in the village can play a pivotal role in the society's modernization.
Today the experience on the role of human resources in Korean SMU is a matter of interest to many developing countries and Korean development model has been the subject of a good benchmarking to Asia, the Middle East and Africa. I dare to emphasize that the role of human resources in Korea's SMU has greatly contributed to its economic development. I expect that Korean experience is a lesson to the future economic development in Kazakhstan.

The De Dietrich factories
Musée protestant > The 16th century > The De Dietrich factories
From XVIIth century ironmasters...
« We then followed the Barenthal valley with its running streams. The thick forests of both hills have not been cleared. Thousands of tree trunks are left there to rot on top of each other, and countless young shoots grow off their half-decayed ancestors. While talking with some people strolling nearby, we again heard the name De Dietrich mentioned ; it had already been frequently pronounced in modest neighbourhoods with veneration and love. The answers to my questions informed me that Dietrich had been the first to successfully use the treasures of these mountains : iron, coal, and wood and, by them, to considerably increase his fortune ». Goethe, Poésie et Vérité livre X (transl. by H.Richelot, 1863).
The name De Dietrich which struck young Goethe during his trip to Alsace, belongs to a family of ironmasters whose activities go back to 1625, when the first blast furnace was lit in Niederbronn les Bains, a small village in the Vosges area where, long ago, the Romans had built thermal baths. The De Dietrich family was Protestant. They had chosen, as the founding motto of their activity, a phrase inspired by Protestant ethics : « Non sibi, sed aliis » (not for oneself, but for others). Their activities expanded rapidly and obviously that this expansion was helped by the availability of raw materials practically at ground level. Nevertheless reflection, reasoned action, and an obvious desire for knowledge (numerous members of the family were chemists) likewise played a decisive part in this expansion. It is worth noticing, for example, that in 1785, De Dietrich extracted iron ore with a concern that would be considered ecological today.
...to XVIIIth and XIXth century manufacturers
By the XVIIIth century, the De Dietrich had become both manufacturers (employing over a hundred workers) and leading citizens. At the time of the French Revolution, Jean de Dietrich, a specialist in mineralogy, was mayor of Strasburg. (Despite his open -mindedness, he was beheaded at the worst period of the Terreur).
The French revolution with its armed conflicts endangered the survival of the company that was employing 500 workers in its various ironworks. Thanks firstly to a judicious alliance with the Berkheim family and secondly to the intervention of Protestant bankers (notably de Turkheim), a normal situation will be restored under the Empire.
All along the XIXth century and beyond, the expansion of the company was to be brilliant and innovative, whether in the production of household appliances (the well-known irons, cooking stoves, saucepans, etc.), or in the building of railway lines and carriages (an activity undertaken likewise by the Koechlin family who were responsible for the construction of the Mulhouse-Thann-Strasbourg railway line completed in 1839). The firm's culminating point was probably the project of the Lorraine-Dietrich automobile, though this activity was to be abandoned in 1904.
In favour of social progress
In 1887, the jury of the Paris Universal Exhibition awarded de Dietrich one of its grands prix for their efforts in favour of social harmony and the people's well-being. Among many other factors, the professional training of the employees was remarkable : a truly professional school had been set up during the Second Empire ; was at the origin of the present Lycée de Dietrich (a private technical school specialising in boiler making techniques and office automation).

What India's first Metaverse concert tells us about the future of virtual music events
January 5, 2022 by shubhashish dey
Imagine a person in Canada attending a Harrdy Sandhu concert in India virtually with thousands of fans from across the globe. No, we don't mean being part of an online concert of the like we have all attended in these pandemic times. We are talking of virtual concerts in the Metaverse, which will be much more immersive than listening to a live video.
"The platforms already exist, we already have the artistes, we already have the hardware… we are just combining all of them and making sure this event is happening," Litesh Gumber, founder of Cryptic Entertainments explains to indianexpress.com how a music concert in the Metaverse combines elements of Virtual reality (VR), NFTs and blockchain-based decentralised worlds. Gumber's company organised India's first Metaverse concert on Somnium Space VR with Sparsh Dangwal performing a recorded show attended by 25-30 people.
The platform owner/or organisers like Somnium Space VR can imagine how the concert would look…they will transport you to a beach, the moon, or some fantasy world. All you need to have is a VR headset, and once you are in, you will see a little cartoon(y) avatar of yours there who can talk to other people attending the concert, dance and enjoy like you would in an in-person concert.
Gumber says the virtual experience mimics how a concert in the physical environment takes place, but this one is more immersive and there are no physical limitations on the number of people attending.
Interestingly, a virtual concept is more viable from a financial perspective as artistes and crew don't need to travel and there is no need to set up costly sets for the same.
In the Metaverse, artistes can perform anywhere in the world as people attend their concerts from the comfort of their homes. While you may be wearing a VR headset and viewing the concert alone, you will still be interacting with others in the concert's shared virtual space or through live chats during the performance.
Is Metaverse the future of the music industry? (Image credit: Cryptic Entertainments)
These metaverse concerts make more sense at a time when smaller artistes and indie musicians are facing the burden of cancellation of shows due to the global pandemic. Even though music streaming platforms like Spotify have rescued the music industry, smaller artists are still finding the going tough. With virtual concerts, these artistes can earn again through ticket sales and NFTs. "For the initial period of time, we are not going to charge anything from any artist," he said, adding that since there are fewer middlemen, the artistes benefit directly.
Although it is early to say what the future holds for the Metaverse, Gumber says he and his team at least have the proof of concept through India's first virtual concert.
In the west, the music industry is already open to the idea of virtual concerts in the Metaverse. Big artists like Marshmello, Travis Scott, and Ariana Grande have all performed in virtual concerts, because there is money to be made.
Live events in a virtual space could be the next big thing. (Image credit: Cryptic Entertainments)
More importantly, the metaverse gives musicians a sense of community ownership, a decentralised approach where there is no particular entity dictating terms. In the context of the music industry, Metaverse is audio/visual art, community-created 3D worlds, the right to own and sell digital items and property (or NFTs), Avatars, digital merch and fashion. "In NFTs, those who were early were the ones who benefited a lot," reminds Gumber, underlining how he expects a similar growth trajectory for first movers here too.
Initially, with the focus on getting users to test the format, Gumber says tickets will be free. "You either listen to your favorite artistes free of cost, or have a ticketing system where people buy NFTs as tickets and link their meta mask wallet with the platform," Gumber says. "A fully sponsored event is also possible."
The cost of VR headsets now is a hurdle for the concept to take off at the moment along with the persisting issues with internet connectivity in India. "We did this whole concert in the metaverse, and it was a difficult task to pull it off," Gumber says about his first gig. "Not only is the technology at a nascent stage, but users also need to have a high-performance PC, high-quality VR headset and a stable internet connection," he added.

And both hardware and software need to sync perfectly. "Right now, the majority of the development is being done to make sure that the VR experience is similar to the real-life experience…the more they are able to solve this problem, the higher the chances the communities will come and actually spend a lot of money on these virtual concerts," he explains.
To make the transition easier for artistes, Gumber is setting up a metaverse studio in Mohali, Punjab, complete with a professional setup. "Artists need to come to the studio, wear a VR headset, and perform," he says, adding that the setup was a regular studio before.
"As of now, the community is small, so whosoever is coming in the metaverse are the ones who are early adopters, tech enthusiasts, or someone from the crypto industry." Still, Gumber plans to hold another experimental concert in the coming days. This time, the concert will be performed live with a six-piece band.

Gwyneth Paltrow Is Heading to Mexico with Cameron Diaz for Her Bachelorette Party
Diaz booked a private jet just for the occasion.
By Erika Harwood

Gwyneth Paltrow is headed south of the border for her bachelorette party. According to Page Six, Paltrow's friend and fellow actress Cameron Diaz booked a private jet for the 12 guests, including designer Stella McCartney, to fly to Mexico for the weekend.
It's unclear who the other guests for the big weekend are, but considering Paltrow's Rolodex of celebrity friends, including Oprah Winfrey and Beyoncé, chances are it will be a star-studded gathering.
Paltrow announced her engagement to producer Brad Falchuk in the Sex & Love issue of Goop magazine back in January. She later told People that she considers her upcoming nuptials to be her first real wedding since she eloped with her ex-husband, Coldplay's Chris Martin, in 2003.
"I'm excited about everything!" she told People. "I've never had a wedding before. So even though I'm 45, I sort of feel like a 21-year-old."
Paltrow has documented her relationship with Falchuk on Instagram, posting photos of him over the course of their three years of dating. In true Paltrow fashion, she's even introduced Falchuk to Martin, and according to social media, they all brunch together. She posted a photo of the two men together back in November along with the caption, "Sunday brunch #modernfamily"
Who knows, maybe Chris Martin has snagged himself a seat on that private jet en route to Mexico?

Australia is scheduled to tour Pakistan for March and April. But now it seems very unlikely following the meeting held in Dubai between the chairmen of both boards. After the discussions Cricket Australia's chairman, Creagh O'Connor, sent a letter to the Pakistan board expressing the reservations on security held in Pakistan.
A security delegation of Cricket Australia is due to visit Pakistan after the general elections due to be held on February 18. However a report in the Urdu daily Jung said that Cricket Australia is unsure whether sending experts would be feasible, which indicated perhaps they already made a decision not to tour Pakistan.
Ashraf also included that if Australia refuses to tour Pakistan then it would be a big blow for Pakistan cricket. He said that any country in the world is prone to terrorism and this should not dictate the sports events which are going to take place in the future because it would also have an effect on teams financially. If these events are intervened more often then simply touring other countries would become an issue for some teams. He hopes that Australia would make the right decision because there is a also a possibility of Pakistan refraining from their tour of Australia in 2009.
This would be Australia's first tour of Pakistan in a decade and the Australian players are concerned following the violence throughout the year and the stability of the country. Despite these issues recently South Africa and Zimbabwe have completed tours without any controversial interventions during the series of matches.
Privately the board officials of PCB think it is becoming unlikely for the tour to be possible. Yet they continue to press for the tour to go ahead. The PCB's chief operating officer Shafqat Naghmei is scheduled to meet James Sutherland, Cricket Australia's chief executive, in Kuala Lampur and have a further discussion on security arrangements.

Public feedback sought for proposed Official Opposition legislation on non-consensual distribution of intimate images
Official Opposition
Charlottetown, PE – Intimacy is an important aspect of healthy relationships. Privacy and the expectation of privacy of individuals involved in a consensual, intimate relationship should be protected. When this privacy is violated, there can be far reaching repercussions that are lasting and damaging in many different ways. For those harmed, there must be a remedy.
Since the non-consensual distribution of intimate images became a criminal offence in 2015, Prince Edward Island has reported more incidents per 100,000 people than the national average. In 2018, the province had the highest incident rate in the Atlantic region. It is clear the sharing of intimate images without consent is a growing problem in our communities.
Karla Bernard, MLA for Charlottetown-Victoria Park and Official Opposition Critic for Education and Lifelong Learning, is proposing legislation that would provide an additional legal remedy for those who have been hurt by the non-consensual distribution of intimate images.
The proposed legislation would:
establish the non-consensual distribution of intimate images as a tort, actionable without proof of damages;
place a reverse onus on the defendant to demonstrate that they had the consent of the person depicted in the images to distribute those images;
establish a publication ban where a minor is involved in a proceeding, and a publication ban in other cases where the court determines it would be in the interest of justice; and
allow the court to provide various remedies, including financial awards and injunctions.
The Office of the Official Opposition is seeking public feedback on this proposed legislation. Islanders are invited to review the proposed legislation at https://peigreencaucus.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Official-Opposition-Intimate-Images-Protection-Act-Consultation-Draft.pdf.
Public feedback can be submitted online by email to officialopposition@assembly.pe.ca. Submissions will be accepted until 4:00 PM on Friday, June 19, 2020.
Jonathan Hamel
Email: jdhamel@assembly.pe.ca
The Official Opposition of Prince Edward Island provides a crucial role in the governing of our province. The caucus is made up of Green Party MLAs elected by Islanders.
We strive to offer informed and intelligent debate and proposals that are evidence-based and data-informed. Through respect and integrity, we seek to improve the work and efforts of government on behalf of all Islanders.

Produced in collaboration with Craig & Karl, Neon Lane was created to light up an otherwise dark alley off Melbourne's Chinatown. The permanent installation consists of 60 neon lights and light boxes, ranging from very small to five metres tall, that catch the eye, spark conversation and improve public safety at night.
The installation is inspired by high-energy streetscapes of cities like Shanghai, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Seoul. The individual artworks fuse Eastern and Western culture with ancient proverbs sitting alongside playful English phrases like 'Let's Dance' translated into Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese and Thai.

Biografia
Nasce a Bradenton, città della contea di Manatee, all'interno di una famiglia di sportivi: è la primogenita dei tennisti cechi Petr Korda e Regina Rajchrtová, e quindi sorella di Nelly, anch'essa golfista, e di Sebastian, figlio d'arte.

Dal 2013 è in una relazione con l'imprenditore nonché suo ex caddie Johnny DelPrete.

Carriera

Dilettantismo
Malgrado l'iniziale disapprovazione del padre, inizia a praticare il golf in età adolescenziale seguendo proprio lo stesso Petr su un campo pubblico nella Repubblica Ceca. Da dilettante partecipa a due edizioni del trofeo Espirito Santo (2006 e 2010), rappresentando dapprima la Repubblica Ceca e poi gli Stati Uniti d'America. Come membro della delegazione statunitense, gareggia anche nella U.S. Junior Solheim Cup 2009 e nella U.S. Curtis Cup 2010. Dimostra il proprio potenziale anche a livello individuale prendendo parte allo U.S. Open femminile nel 2008 e 2009.

Al campionato di golf amatoriale femminile del 2010 termina invece in seconda posizione, prestazione grazie alla quale compie l'ingresso nella scuola di qualificazione dell'LPGA Tour nell'autunno seguente. Terminato il torneo di qualifica in seconda posizione, passa tra i professionisti nel 2011.

Professionismo
Diventa professionista nel corso dell'LPGA Tour 2011, disputando poi un totale di quindici eventi al suo primo anno. Ottiene quindi la sua prima vittoria al debutto stagionale all'LPGA Tour 2012, aggiudicandosi il Women's Australian Open al Royal Melbourne: dopo quattro giornate in 72-70-73-74, agguanta il successo alla seconda buca durante uno spareggio a sei persone.

La sua seconda vittoria avviene in occasione del Pure Silk-Bahamas LPGA Classic, round d'apertura della stagione 2014, dove termina con una buca di vantaggio sulla connazionale Lewis. Nel febbraio 2018 vince l'Honda LPGA Thailand avendo la meglio sulla thailandese Jutanugarn e sulla connazionale Thompson, battute grazie a un bottino di 263 colpi (66-62-68-67, -25 sotto il par) e a un margine di 4 stroke.

Nel gennaio 2021 ottiene con 260 (-24) colpi il quarto successo all'esordio stagionale in occasione del Diamond Resorts Tournament of Champions, superando con un birdie allo spareggio la connazionale Kang, che aveva dominato l'evento per le prime tre battute: è cruciale per la Korda proprio il terzo round, dove fa registrare il round più basso della sua carriera professionistica con un parziale di 60 (-11). La posizione attribuitale dalla Graduatoria Rolex del golf femminile mondiale le garantisce più tardi la qualificazione al torneo individuale dei Giochi olimpici di : è tra le quattro rappresentanti degli Stati Uniti in Giappone assieme a Kang, Thompson, e alla sorella minore Nelly.

Q: Passing objects as parameters in Excel VBA How do I pass an object to a private sub as a reference in Excel VBA? Below is what I am trying to do:
Sub main()
    Dim r As Range
    Set r = Sheets("Sheet1").Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(27, 27))
    r.Select 'this works
    select_cells (r) 'this doesn't work
End Sub

Private Sub select_cells(a As Range)
    a.Select 'prompts Object Required error
End Sub

A: There are severla errors in your code

*

*Unqualified range references refer to the ActiveSheet.  So
Set r = Sheets("Sheet1").Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(27, 27))

will error if Sheet1 is not active.

*r.Select will error if Sheet1 is not active.

*select_cells (r) with the brackets is incorrect.  Use
select_cells r

*a.Select in the Private Sub will error if Sheet1 is not active.
Here's an modified version
Sub main()
    Dim r As Range
    With Sheets("Sheet1")
        Set r = .Range(.Cells(1, 1), .Cells(27, 27))
    End With
    Debug.Print r.Address ' for diagnostic purposes
    select_cells r
End Sub

Private Sub select_cells(a As Range)
    ' Activate the worksheet first, so you can select a range on it
    a.Worksheet.Select
    a.Select
End Sub

Note on bracketed parameters
When a Sub or Function parameter is a non-object variable, bracketing the parameter overrides the ByRef/ByVal definition and passes the parameter ByVal
When a Sub or Function parameter is an object variable, bracketing the parameter causes an the default property to be passed to the Sub/Function.   In the case of the OP, this is r.Value, which causes a type missmatch.

A:
select_cells (r) 'this doesn't work

You can't use parentheses to pass object parameters to a procedure. Just do this:
select_cells r

The archaic, obsolete Call keyword can be used, if you really want to keep the parentheses.

Increase Your Productivity by Mastering the Art of Slowing Down
BySteven McConnell, Last Modified
> Career
> Work Life
When it comes to getting ahead in your career, you're like a fighter in training. You pride yourself on being tough and doing what it takes to make things happen. Most of us were raised with this mindset: The longer we tough it out, the more successful we'll be.
But the human brain is like any sophisticated computer. Sometimes it needs a reboot. It's tempting to believe that if you stop doing a task, like answering emails or working on a presentation, your brain will naturally recover so that when you pick up the same task later, your brain will be 100 percent refreshed.
Here's a reality check:
Recovery doesn't happen when you lie in bed for hours unable to fall asleep because your brain is thinking about work.
It doesn't occur when you hide out in your living room watching Netflix for the entire weekend, trying to distract yourself.
It doesn't happen when your mobile device is always within reach, stressing you out with political commentary or new ways to remodel your home.
And, no, it doesn't happen when you fill your precious holidays with as many high-impact recreational activities as possible.
I hate to have to be the one to break this to you. Brain recovery only happens when you stop for real. Unplug. Let go. In the immortal, radical words of former Harvard professor Ram Dass (Richard Alpert), "It only happens when you can be here now." Otherwise, you won't be your best at work. And you'll miss out on the most poignant moments of your life.
I can see you nodding in agreement. But you've yet to take the leap.
Why is stopping so intimidating?
Because it's difficult and uncomfortable.
Ours is a culture of doing, not being. And if you try to simply be – with the same intensity you apply to your career (your "doing") – it could be the hardest work of your life. At least until you can reprogram your brain. The good news is it can be done.
It's a matter of strategically slowing down.
A group of researchers led by Robert Duke from the University of Texas at Austin studied a group of classical piano majors at NYC's Juilliard School to find out what practice techniques are the most effective at advancing performance.
Seventeen participants learned three measures from Shostakovich's Piano Concerto No.1, because it's both challenging to sight read and to learn the piece in one sitting. What the researchers discovered was that the most successful practitioners slowed down at just the right points. An intentional pause helped them to avoid making the same mistakes twice. In performance psychology, it's become known as "strategically slowing down."
Meditation, or any mindfulness work, is no different.
It's about practicing intentional pauses.
Yet despite the scientific evidence that meditation improves your immune system, attitude, physical health and your overall resiliency, not everyone in the mainstream buys in.
Last weekend I read an op-ed from the New York Times entitled: "We Aren't Built to Live in the Moment." Authors Martin Seligman and John Tierney claim that new studies have proven humans struggle to process the present moment without shifting their brains between the context of the past and a vision of the future.
What bothered me most about the article, though, was that it assumed we lack the power to change. That our monkey mind is unalterable, it's in our DNA, so why bother trying? I have to say, I was disappointed.
Yet, it's not surprising.
The New Age hype that accompanies meditation hasn't done us any favors. Think of it this way: If meditation were a pharmaceutical, we'd all want a prescription. If it were a workout sequence, we'd all be lining up to master the moves. In theory, you agree. Still, something is holding you back.
Dan Harris, ABC News correspondent and author of "10% Happier," his personal meditation memoir, cited three main reasons we give up on the pursuit of mindfulness:
Most people assume it's impossible to quiet their minds.
Most men don't believe in meditation and think they have to do silly things like wear yoga pants or chant or burn incense.
Most men believe that meditation will take away their edge. That it's all about being mellow. Eventually, they'll wear their hair in a man bun and utter inane phrases like "It's all good."
Humorous stereotyping aside, there's no time like the present to strategically slow down. The question is how.
Try these 5 meditation and mindfulness tips.
1. Fitness for the mind.
If the workout metaphor resonates with you, strip away the spiritual connotations that block you from regularly meditating. Think of it as training for your mind, just like going to the gym is training for your body. And, like fitness, both the challenges and the rewards of meditation increase over time.
Perhaps best of all, what equipment do you need to get started? Nothing more than a quiet, comfortable place to sit; comfortable clothing; and time set aside every day. More on this later.
2. Be realistic.
The New York Times article I referenced before did have a valid, albeit obvious, point: Your mind is never going to stop completely. Your thoughts will keep coming as long as you're alive. So don't fight it. Practice watching your thoughts. Detach from them so you don't get tangled up in drama. Once in a while, don't forget to laugh at them.
Unless you're a reincarnated Buddhist master, your monkey mind will always need to be tamed. You might as well enjoy the ride.
3. Stick with it.
While the benefits of a meditation practice will be noticeable right away, you've got to stick with it to reap the rewards.
A Harvard study revealed detectable neural changes after eight weeks of meditating an average of 27 minutes a day. Besides stimulating the parts of the brain that help relieve stress, anxiety, anger, and indecision, the research indicated increased brain volume in areas that usually thin with age. Don't have 27 minutes every day, or even 20? No sweat. Start somewhere, such as 10 intentional and focused breaths.
4. Try the app.
Yep, you read that right. If you're struggling to unplug, try an app called Headspace.
Created by Andy Puddicombe, a 43-year-old former Buddhist monk, this app has more than five million active users. Its tagline is "a gym membership for the mind." Puddicombe says that consistency is the secret to developing meditation muscles. Headspace requires a mere 10 minutes a day. The app also includes sessions for commuting, cooking, running and walking, which means you can take your mindfulness on the road.
5. Schedule downtime.
In her myth-busting book "The Future of Happiness," Amy Blankson describes how to strategically stop using technology to control career (and personal) burnout.
Funny enough, she also recommends technology as the solution. Her apps of choice: Instant or Moment to monitor how many times you turn on your phone each day; Offtime or Unplugged to strategically schedule periods of automated airplane mode so that you can literally unplug and regularly recharge.
Her other tips? Take your lunch outside. Take all of your paid time off. Her goal? To move everyone from partial attention to full intention.
When in doubt, just breathe.
For those of you ready to pare your practice down to a Zen-like minimum, watch your breath. Not just during meditation, but anytime during the day.
Try to let go of what happened earlier, or yesterday, or what's coming tomorrow. If staying with your breath requires too much effort, try asking yourself a question repeatedly (a sort of mantra) to see what answer comes up for you.
Examples: How do I want to feel at the end of the day? How do I want to show up in my life? Either of these questions could serve as an intention-setting thought for your day before you even get out of bed. Meditating on a question and setting a daily intention both work wonders for me.
What else works when I need to hit the pause button?
Practice gratitude.
Call it hackneyed, simplistic New Age trash … I've heard it all. But whenever I lose sight of what matters or take on too much in my work, thinking of one thing I'm grateful for always grounds me.
And, no, I'm not going to give you my shaman's mobile number.
