I'm an Organisation Design Consultant in Human Capital. I started my career with Deloitte Auckland, working in a small but mighty Human Capital team of 15. I then got the opportunity to get some international work experience and transferred to the Canadian practice just after my 2nd year of work.
Where are you? What are doing?
I'm based in Toronto, Canada. I am continuing to specialize in Organization Design, having I've been lucky enough to do some travel with work during my time here so far – both cross-country to Vancouver and to Chicago.
I wanted international experience, especially in a wide variety of industries. I had friends in Toronto already, and as the hub for large banking, consumer goods, and public sector clients, it was the right choice for me.
What's your favourite part about living and working overseas?
The work is really wide-ranging (industries and project challenges). I've worked with a luxury goods retailer, law firms, banks, and an alcohol and gaming regulator. Some very interesting and diverse learning experiences!
Life in North America is exciting. Toronto is a melting-pot of different cultures and is close to other major hubs. New York is on our doorstep; Europe is just a 7 hour flight.
What's the most challenging part of working abroad?
Being really far from friends and family is definitely the most challenging – you can't get in the car and go and visit someone when you miss them. Skype/FaceTime helps, but the time difference is sometimes tough to manage too.
What advice would you give to someone considering working overseas with Deloitte?
Have conversations with your team back home, and with your 'new' team. Get people involved as soon as possible – they will all want to help. By connecting with the 'new' team early, you'll be able to get an understanding of the type of work they do (and figure out if this matches your focus), and the direction the practice is taking.
From Deloitte New Zealand, many of our team have enjoyed Deloitte secondments to Australia, North America or Europe. For those a little more adventurous, the world is your oyster—New Zealand staff have transferred as far abroad as China and the Middle East.
Alex Crawshaw, Assurance and Advisory, University of Otago.
I started my career at Deloitte Auckland in the Technology team, after completing a BSc/BCom Conjoint. I worked Deloitte New Zealand for 3 years.
I'm in Shanghai working for Deloitte Consulting, in the Tech, Strategy and Architecture team. My current project is PMO for a Supply Chain Implementation Project for a leading global sports manufacturer.
To be 100% honest, China was never my first choice of country to live or work in, and never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would end up here. The opportunity arose when my fiancé got offered a transfer with her company to their Shanghai office. This sounded like a pretty exciting and different experience, and would help me develop not only professionally, but personally as well (not to mention learning a new language).
The connection to the rest of Asia is amazing. I have been able to take weekend trips to Japan and Korea, as well as other major cities in China such as Guangzhou and Beijing. We have Thailand, Laos, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Vietnam in the pipeline as well.
I love the scale of projects I have been on. I helped develop a strategy for a global FMCG company to enter into the Chinese marketplace with a 100% digital presence, and have been working on transforming the supply chain of one of the world's largest sportswear manufacturers. These types of projects and clients/industries are very rare in an economy like NZ, and being a part of this is thrilling and exciting.
Some of the challenges include a new work culture and new management styles. The separation from family and friends can be quite challenging, making it crucial to build an entirely new support network.
Do something truly outside your comfort zone and learn a different culture, language. I think timing is incredibly important, not just where you are in your career, but also in terms of your family life. If I was at a different stage in my personal life, my decision to move overseas could have been quite different.

Greilsberg ist ein Kirchdorf der Gemeinde Bayerbach bei Ergoldsbach im niederbayerischen Landkreis Landshut.  Bis 1972 bestand die Gemeinde Greilsberg im Landkreis Mallersdorf. Am 1. November 2020 hatte der Ort 197 Einwohner.

Geografische Lage
Greilsberg liegt etwa drei Kilometer nördlich des Kernortes Bayerbach an der Kreisstraße LA 28. Der den Ort durchfließende Bayerbacher Bach ist ein rechter Zufluss der Kleinen Laber.

Geschichte
Ein erster, noch unsicherer Hinweis auf den Ort Greilsberg befindet sich in einer Urkunde von 1307, die die Schenkung eines Hofes an das Kloster Mallersdorf durch einen "Gewolf der Greul von Berg" zum Inhalt hat. Es wird angenommen, dass der Ortsname durch eine Zusammenziehung des Nachnamens des Geschlechtes der Greul mit dem Ort ihres Sitzes entstanden ist; sodass der Ort  zunächst "Berg" hieß, später dann "Greulsberg" und schließlich Greilsberg.

1347 tauchte der Name Greilsberg in einer weiteren Urkunde auf. Aus dieser geht hervor, dass das Geschlecht derer von Greul immer noch Herrschaftsrechte im Ort hatte. 1443 ist ein Richter im Dorf bezeugt; damit war Greilsberg in diesem Jahr bereits eine Hofmark.

In den folgenden Jahrhunderten wechselte die Hofmark Greilsberg mehrmals den Besitzer. In den Güterkonskriptionen von 1752 ist Greilsberg als offene Hofmark mit einem Freiherrn von Lerchenfeld als Inhaber verzeichnet. Im Dorf selbst befanden sich 28 Anwesen; von diesen waren 23 der Hofmarksherrschaft unterstellt, drei dem Kloster Mallersdorf und zwei der Kirche St. Nikolaus zu Greilsberg.

Aufgrund der Gemeindeedikte von 1808 bzw. 1818 entstand die Landgemeinde Greilsberg.

Im ersten amtlichen Ortsverzeichnis des Königreichs Bayern von 1877 ist die Gemeinde Greilsberg mit 262 Einwohnern aufgeführt. Von diesen lebten 243 im Dorf Greilsberg. Zur Gemeinde gehörten damals noch die Einödhöfe Böglkreut und Bruckhof. Verwaltungstechnisch gehörte die Gemeinde zum Bezirksamt Mallersdorf.

Greilsberg bestand als selbständige Gemeinde bis 1972. In diesem Jahr erfolgte die Eingemeindung nach Bayerbach. Bruckhof kam zur damaligen Gemeinde Hofkirchen. Böglkreut war bereits 1949 nach Bayerbach umgemeindet worden.

Baudenkmäler
Die Filialkirche St. Nikolaus ist eine Saalkirche, die im 15. Jahrhundert angelegt und im 17. und 19. Jahrhundert erweitert wurde. An Profanbauten ist das ehemalige Wohnstallhaus eines Vierseithofes erhalten. Das Gebäude wurde im Kern Ende des 17. Jahrhunderts errichtet.

"Herzliya Medical Center" Private Hospital is one of the leading medical institutions in Israel, founded in 1983 with the aim of creating a medical institution that meets the high standards of private medicine. In this multi-institution, patients are offered a full range of medical services: consulting top Israeli experts, in-depth diagnosis, conservative and surgical treatment of the highest level.
The International Department of the hospital provides services to patients from 50 countries, as well as representatives of diplomatic missions, businessmen and tourists.
A distinctive feature of HMC Private Hospital is its specialists; three hundred and fifty leading doctors in senior positions working at the best hospitals in Israel, with extensive practical experience and deep knowledge are invited to collaborate at HMC. Current data shows that according to the 2013 Healthcare Report, 7850 foreign patients have been admitted to Herzliya Medical Center for surgical procedures.
In 2001, Herzliya Medical Center founded an exclusive department of medical tourism; the first patients were Embassy representatives that were posted to Israel. The department of medical tourism at Herzliya Medical Center Private Hospital provides translation services for the medical tourists and a Case Manager whose function is to coordinate the treatment process and to communicate with the hospital staff on behalf of the patient.
"Herzliya Medical Center" has a high popularity among foreign patients due to its advantageous location on the Mediterranean coast. Herzliya is a beautiful city with white sand beaches, hotels, fine restaurants, recreational and resort areas. Warm sun and fresh sea breeze has its powerful argument in favor of the decision to come to Israel and to combine treatment with leisure.
We are doing all we can to make the organization of the arrival to Herzliya Medical Center as careless as possible to the patient. That's why we are actively searching for representatives in major cities. There are currently 3 representative agencies set for your convenience in Odessa, Kharkov and Dnepropetrovsk.
"Herzliya Medical Center" Private Hospital is equipped with the latest medical equipment. Diagnostic equipment allows to perform any complex medical test and identify the disease at an early stage, before the onset of clinical signs. Operating rooms boast modern equipment necessary to perform complex interventions with minimally invasive procedures.
The main priority of HMC is patient safety which is a strict adherence to health protocols monitoring the patient's condition. Modern monitoring tools allow to supervise critical changes in the status of each patient and to prevent the development of complications. All team members at Herzliya Medical Center have been trained thoroughly and are able to assist in abnormal and emergency situations.
"Herzliya Medical Center" Private Hospital adopted an individual approach for treating patients. We sincerely believe in treating the patient as an individual, not just the disease. For each patient, a personal treatment plan is developed. It takes into account all aspects of the disease, concomitant diseases, drug therapy, personal characteristics and specific needs of the patient.
Each patient at "Herzliya Medical Center" is guaranteed a sensitive and respectful approach. Friendly and attentive staff provide comprehensive care for patients and make every effort so that the patient can have a comfortable stay.
At "Herzliya Medical Center", the infrastructure and interior design has been carefully considered. In addition to single and double standard rooms there are VIP-suites; the decor of which resembles a hotel room rather than a hospital room. All patients without exception are assigned to a personal medical coordinator.

Site plans approved for two Twinsburg commercial projects
TWINSBURG – Two companies received final site approval from the planning commission on February 28 to erect buildings.
Mold Rite Plastics plans to erect a 33,100 square foot addition to its Highland Road plant to expand manufacturing. Pet Suites plans to build a 10,930 square foot facility that would provide pet sitting and grooming services at 8275 Darrow Road.
A panel-approved batch consolidation and split has been filed for registration with Summit County for the addition of Mold Rite. It combines four plots into two. The proposed building and site improvements will be contained on a single parcel.
The site is located within an I-3 heavy industrial zoning district, which accommodates light and heavy industrial uses including warehousing, manufacturing and processing. Current and proposed uses conform to district standards.
The parcel is surrounded by industrial zoned properties to the east, west and south, while Crown Hill Cemetery is located to the north, adjacent to Highland Road.
The proposed addition will be located behind and to the south of the existing 55,596 square foot building and will not alter the front setback. Side yard and rear yard setbacks shall be in accordance with the regulations of that district.
Planners have been advised of the addition and the existing building will be within the maximum 40% lot cover at 34.3% on the 5.92 acre lot. A height of 28 feet is planned for the addition, which is less than the maximum of 45 feet allowed.
With the planned addition of 25 employees per shift, 70 parking spaces are required, of which 69 are currently on site. Three of the seats must be reserved for people with reduced mobility.
The Pet Suites property spans 1 hectare between East Enterprise Parkway and Pinnacle Parkway. The site will be accessible from Darrow Road at Mosswood Lane, which is a private road.
A resolution was passed by City Council on February 8 affirming the planning committee's decision that a "kennel" is a use similar to veterinary clinics and permitted uses in the I-2 Industrial District where the property is located.
The Pet Suites building will cover 8.3% of the property, where the maximum building coverage is 40%. The building and parking lot will comply with all setback requirements.
With 10 to 15 full-time employees planned, the proposed 27 parking spaces comply with zoning regulations, as do the lighting and landscaping plans for the 1,088-square-foot indoor parking area.
CONDITIONAL USE
The committee's final action was a positive recommendation to City Council to grant a conditional use permit for outdoor construction equipment storage at Rudd Equipment on East Enterprise Parkway. The land measures 3.5 acres.
Rudd Equipment is involved in the sale and service of mining and construction equipment and has sales outlets in several states. Council will likely consider issuing the permit at its March 8 meeting.
The proposed storage area is largely screened from view by the building and wooded areas to the north, south and east. Outdoor storage is proposed approximately 200 feet from the side lot line and approximately 400 feet from the memory care facility located on Sussex Boulevard.
Properties on the street are zoned I-2 Limited Industrial, which allows for the sale and rental of automobiles, trucks and farm implements, maintenance and storage of new and used equipment.
Outdoor storage is permitted by conditional use in all industrial districts, but materials and equipment not under cover of structures are not permitted unless authorized by a conditional use permit .
The company plans to provide 14 parking spaces on the side of the building, 18 along the rear property line and 26 along the western property for a total of 58. Two ADA spaces exist and one will need to be added.

"Dentist's & Visitors Painting," drawing and water color, 27 x 33 cms. 1999. Because of the detailed drawings of a dentist's equipment, I assumed he studied the equipment in his own dentist's office. His grandnephew, Dhaval Khakhar, sent me the following: "Hi Brian, He may have spent some time studying a dentist's equipment. It would be very difficult to zero down on dada's dentist, as he had perfect teeth. I just spoke with dadi [BK's sister in law and Dhaval's grandmother] about it, and she recalled an incident when dada had to undergo a surgery and the doctor asked him to remove his dentures for the surgery, as he could not believe those were his real teeth. He [BK] asked the doctor to try and pull - if they would come out."
Is think this portrait is supposed to be the patient/victim. Bhupen must have smudged the mouth on purpose to show the discomfort.

Unheralded teenagers Prabhsimran Singh and Prayas Ray Barman attracted astonishing bids during the IPL auction to laugh their way to the bank on a day when superstar Dale Steyn went unsold and once a hot-property Yuvraj Singh struggled to find a buyer.
Punjab's wicket keeper batsman Prabhsimran, all of 18, was taken by Preity Zinta owned Kings XI Punjab for Rs 4.80 crore while Virat Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore shelled out Rs 1.5 crore for 16-year-old Barman, who is an all-rounder from Bengal.
Both the players had a base price of Rs 20 lakh.
In contrast, Yuvraj was bought for Rs one crore by Mumbai Indians late in the day having got a deal of Rs 14 crore by the RCB in 2014.
The intense bidding for the two youngsters showed that the teams were willing to loosen purse strings for talent and not just the names.
Prabsimran has played only four List A matches and was part of the Indian team which finished as runner-up at the recent ACC Emerging Teams Asia Cup in Sri Lanka.
The Punjab batsman idolises explosive Virender Sehwag. The attacking batsman scored 298 runs for his side in the Under-23 tournament.
In the Cooch Behar trophy in season 2017-18, he scored 547 runs for Punjab, hitting three centuries.

Optical stimulation causes marmosets to move their forelimbs
by RIKEN
RIKEN neuroscientists have succeeded in getting marmosets to move their forelimbs when they shine laser light on the motor cortex—the brain region responsible for planning, conducting and controlling voluntary movements. This will help researchers discover what different circuits in the motor cortex of marmosets do, with a view to gaining valuable insights into equivalent circuits in the human brain.
Researchers use light to stimulate specific neurons in the brain, allowing them to probe the brain and discover what different neural circuits do. This technique has been widely used on mice, but scientists are keen to apply it to primates because their brains more closely resemble human brains.
Researchers have used optical stimulation to get mice to move their front and rear paws, but until now no one has managed to achieve the same thing in primates. Indeed, it was proving so challenging that some prominent neurobiologists had speculated that it was not possible.
Now, after more than three years of trying, Masanori Matsuzaki at the RIKEN Center for Brain Science and co-workers have succeeded where many have failed. They have developed a low invasive way to cause marmosets to move their forelimbs in an almost puppet-like manner in response to laser light illumination.
The researchers improved the standard technique for optical stimulation of brain areas. Importantly, they used young marmosets, rather than larger moneys. "The marmoset brain is about ten times smaller than the macaque brain, which means that forelimb movement in marmosets should be controlled by fewer motor cortical neurons."
Also, instead of inserting an optical fiber into the brain, which is invasive and can only illuminate a small area, the team installed a transparent window in the scalp and shone the laser light through it. This allowed them to stimulate a much larger area. "An optical fiber can only illuminate an area that is about half a millimeter in diameter, whereas our technique could realize diameters that are two to four times larger than that," says Matsuzaki. "Furthermore, by moving the fiber, we can easily change the illumination area to cause different forelimb movements."
In addition to directly controlling the forelimbs of marmosets, the researchers were able to modify a movement that a monkey was in the process of making by shining a lower intensity light. The secret to this part of the experiment was the methods that the team had developed for training marmosets to perform tasks with their forelimbs. "So far, only our lab can train marmosets to perform such tasks," Matsuzaki comments.
In the long term, the knowledge gained by the technique could help researchers gain a better understanding of how the motor cortex in the human brain responds to injury and stroke.

Complaints. 22. - (1) For section 31 of the 1986 Act (duty of Director to investigate certain matters) there is substituted-
"Consumer complaints. 31. - (1) This section applies to a complaint which any customer or potential customer of, or user of gas supplied by, an authorised supplier of gas ("the complainant") has in his capacity as such against-
(a) the supplier, in respect of any matter connected with the services provided by him in the course of carrying on regulated activities; or
(b) any other authorised person, in respect of any matter affecting those services which is connected with the carrying on by that other person of regulated activities.
(2) Where a complaint to which this section applies (other than one appearing to it to be frivolous or vexatious) is referred to the Council by or on behalf of the complainant, the Council shall (subject to subsection (5)) investigate the complaint for the purpose of determining whether it is appropriate to take any action under subsection (6).
(3) Where it appears to the Council that the complaint relates to a matter in respect of which any enforcement function is or may be exercisable the Council shall (unless it considers that the Authority already has notice of that matter) inform the Authority of the matter.
(4) Where it appears to the Council that the complaint relates to a matter which constitutes a dispute of a kind which can be referred to the Authority under any provision of this Act, the Council shall inform the complainant that he may have the right to refer the dispute to the Authority.
(5) The Council is not required by this section-

Wolfgang Sandner (* 2. März 1949 in Teisendorf; † 5. Dezember 2015) war ein deutscher Physiker, der sich mit der Atom- und Laserphysik beschäftigte. Von 2010 bis 2012 war er Präsident der Deutschen Physikalischen Gesellschaft. Bis zu seinem Tod war er Generaldirektor der ELI Delivery Consortium International Association (AISBL) mit Sitz in Brüssel.

Leben
Sandner studierte Physik an der Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg und promovierte dort 1979 in Atomphysik bei Werner Mehlhorn mit der Dissertation Aufbau und Durchführung eines Elektron-Elektron-Koinzidenzexperiments zur Messung der zweifach differentiellen Wirkungsquerschnitte für die Neon-K-Schalen-Ionisation durch Elektronenstoß. Als Post-Doc war er 1979 bis 1981 bei SRI International in Menlo Park, wo er sich der Laserspektroskopie zuwandte. Nach seiner Habilitation 1985 wurde er Professor an der Universität Würzburg und dann in Freiburg im Breisgau. 1991 wurde er Full Professor an der University of Tennessee in Knoxville. Von 1993 bis 2013 war er Direktor am Max-Born-Institut für Nichtlineare Optik und Kurzzeitspektroskopie in Berlin-Adlershof und Mitglied im Vorstand des Forschungsverbunds Berlin e.V. Von 1994 bis 2014 war er außerdem Professor an der TU Berlin. Bis zu seinem Tod war er Generaldirektor und CEO der ELI Delivery Consortium International Association (AISBL) mit Sitz in Brüssel. In dieser Funktion koordinierte er den Aufbau der "Extreme Light Infrastructure", eines EU-Großprojekts zur Errichtung der weltweit ersten internationalen Laser-Forschungseinrichtung mit Standorten in der Tschechischen Republik, Ungarn und Rumänien, und bereitete deren Betrieb vor.

Sandner befasste sich mit der Wechselwirkung von Atomen und Plasmen mit Laserlicht hoher Intensität und den dabei auftretenden nichtlinearen Phänomenen, der Untersuchung der Ionisationsdynamik und der relativistischen Plasmadynamik, der Beschleunigung von Teilchen mit Lasern sowie mit der Entwicklung von UV- und Röntgenlasern (table top Röntgenlaser), Lasern für ultrakurze Pulse hoher Intensität und dem Freie-Elektronen-Laser.

Seit 1996 war er Fellow der American Physical Society. Von 2003 bis 2013 war er Koordinator des europäischen Netzwerks Laserlab Europe, in dem 30 der größten europäischen Laser-Forschungseinrichtungen aus 16 EU-Mitgliedsstaaten vereinigt sind. Von 2010 bis 2012 war Sandner Präsident der Deutschen Physikalischen Gesellschaft, anschließend war er für zwei Jahre deren Vizepräsident. Seit 2014 war er Vorsitzender der Association of European-level Research infrastructure Facilities (ERF-AISBL), einer Vereinigung europäischer Großforschungseinrichtungen.

International Foundation for Peace in the World
Alternative Nobel Peace Prize
The Alternative Nobel Peace Prize winner for 2013
The International Foundation for Peace in the World, founded in 2010 by Dr. Dekov, announces Alternative Nobel Peace Prize. By this way the Foundation express its opinion that the official Nobel Peace Prize is not honest. The persons who really fight for peace at our planet do not receive the official Nobel Peace Prize. Hence, the International Foundation for Peace announces the Alternative Nobel Peace Prize. The Foundation believes that the winners of the Alternative Nobel Peace Prize are the persons who really deserve to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. They are the real heroes of our time.
The winner for 2013 is Kubrat Tomov.
Kubrat Tomov receives the Alternative Nobel Peace Prize for 2013 for his great contribution to the peace in the world. Kubrat Tomov is a Bulgarian scientist.


Yes, but when someone clicks 50 labels from my tradelist ('I want this label'), then I get 50 e-mails. So a logic should be implemented to send only one e-mail a day, even if more labels are wanted. So I have to store, if an e-mail is already send. This is too complex for me and this standard CMS system at the moment. And 50 e-mails is also not really an option.

In A Surreal Scene, Diners Laugh At An Animal Activist Who Stormed Into A California Restaurant To Tell Them They Are Eating 'Violence, Not Food'.
So, this story took place in a restaurant in Oakland, California, which was stormed by an animal rights activist who made an emotional plea to the diners, as part of a broader "it's not food, it's violence" campaign, run by activist group Direct Action Everywhere.
The activist in question was Kelly Atlas who works with Direct Action Everywhere. She was filmed by the very diners whom she was tearfully pleading to think twice about where their food comes from, before eating it. The activist group explained that the protests were taking place in high-end restaurants and fast-food outlets. In this video in an unnamed restaurant, Ms. Atlas is filmed telling the story about her "little girl" — a chicken named Snow — whom she had rescued from being killed. She said:
Someone was going to murder her. I went in there with other humans and I took her out of there and if I hadn't, she wouldn't be with me right now. She would be gone, just like all of her sisters. She was crying, she was scared every single moment and because her usefulness had run out she was going to be killed. Someone was going to murder her and I can see you smiling and I can see you laughing but to her this is not funny.
I'm here to tell you today that all of these other girls and everyone who you left behind they just wanted to live too and they deserve their lives. And right now their eggs and their milk and their bodies are on plates inside this restaurant and that is so unfair to them.
On its website Direct Action Everywhere says that the group uses creative non-violent forms of protest to tell the animals' story. (Scroll down for the video.)
1. Ms. Atlas is surrounded by supporters as she speaks during the high-powered speech.
2. Ms. Atlas is visibly upset as she addresses the diners in the restaurant.
3. Ms. Atlas appears to be highly emotional as she speaks about her beliefs.
4. Ms. Atlas encourages the diners to remember the name Snow.
5. The supporters behind Ms. Atlas hold signs which state, 'It's not food it's violence.

Perfect Timing should appeal not only to women, but to men. How could it not when it involves flying, sci-fi-entific jargon, governmental conspiracy, murder, and greed? All that, and romance too. This is a decent read, but a confusing one in that the set up takes far too long. Eighty pages went by before I realized why Russian scientists stuck in Siberia and a murky fringe group were a part of the mix. Eventually, everything makes sense, but some readers might have given up already.
Cherish Malone is an engineer/P.R. rep for the Marquis company, a sub-contractor for Reck Enterprises. Her company has designed a revolutionary wing for a new airplane Reck is building for the government. 18 months hence, she had been on a test flight on the first prototype, which had crashed, killing many, and leaving her with nightmares and a fear of flying. It had also given and taken away the man of her dreams – Conor Mitchell, ph.D. fly-boy, pilot of the flight, who had rescued Cherish and co-pilot Alec Porter when the plane crashed and burned. Cherish and Conor had fallen immediately in love, but he left her at the altar just six weeks later, when the Air Force deemed the crash his fault. Since then she's been writing him weekly venting letters as a sort of therapy.
Now Alec's emailing her that he's in danger and that she chose the wrong man, and she's got no way of finding him – his emails are encoded. Now another prototype has crashed and Reck's CEO is trying to blame it all on Marquis. Now Alec's showing up at Conor's place with a blond buzz-cut and happy-face contact lenses, telling him Cherish is in danger and that Cherish chose the wrong man. Now Alec's strange girlfriend, whom he makes wear a blond wig to look more like Cherish, is sleeping with Reck CEO Russell Reck, over whom she exerts some strange influence. Now the government is saying Alec is a terrorist who downed the second prototype. Now Cherish and Conor must work together to figure out what's really going on.
The story becomes more and more involved as seemingly separate scenes from the first portion of the book come together. To give more of the plot away wouldn't really serve any purpose, so I'll stop there. Intertwined with all this mysterious suspense is some decent romance, but it's spaced out a little too little at a time. Conor's background, his long relationship with Alec, and their connection with Cherish is an intriguing one. Conor has kept all her letters to him; and needs her even though he's always been caretaker to those around him. Alec is convinced he loves Cherish. Cherish turns into a mass of hormones whenever Conor's around, even though he broke her heart. Author Bicos keeps the sexual tension on high for the first three hundred pages, with heated kisses, near-misses, and spooning in bed to string the reader along.
Readers who enjoy romantic suspense with a focus on suspense might truly enjoy Perfect Timing, but those of us who tend to get lost with so many subsidiary action will feel frustrated. Setting aside the sci-fi sub-plot, there are some incredulous moments here – Conor's inner thoughts sometimes sound like those of an English Lit professor, and I found it doubtful that a judge would have given 17-year-old Conor guardianship not only of his 12-year-old sister, but 12-year-old Alec as well, to whom he was not related. Still, Cherish and Conor are strong characters, and Alec makes a strong third character – weird contacts aside. The love Cherish and Conor recapture is well worth it, but one gets the feeling that the author could have pared some of the extraneous machinations out and the book would have been better.

Wittgenstein's 'Non-Cognitivism' - Explained and Vindicated
Eugen Fischer
The later Wittgenstein advanced a revolutionary but puzzling conception of how philosophy ought to be practised: Philosophical problems are not to be coped with by establishing substantive claims or devising explanations or theories. Instead, philosophical questions ought to be treated 'like an illness'. Even though this 'non-cognitivism' about philosophy has become a focus of debate, the specifically 'therapeutic' aims and 'non-theoretical' methods constitutive of it remain ill understood. They are motivated by Wittgenstein's view that the problems he addresses result from misinterpretation, driven by 'urges to misunderstand'. The present paper clarifies this neglected concept and analyses how such 'urges' give rise to pseudo-problems of one particular, hitherto little understood, kind. This will reveal 'therapeutic' aims reasonable and 'non-theoretical' methods necessary, in one clearly delineated and important part of philosophy. I.e.: By developing a novel account of nature and genesis of one important class of philosophical problems, the paper explains and vindicates a revolutionary reorientation of philosophical work, at the level of both aims and methods.

N2 - The later Wittgenstein advanced a revolutionary but puzzling conception of how philosophy ought to be practised: Philosophical problems are not to be coped with by establishing substantive claims or devising explanations or theories. Instead, philosophical questions ought to be treated 'like an illness'. Even though this 'non-cognitivism' about philosophy has become a focus of debate, the specifically 'therapeutic' aims and 'non-theoretical' methods constitutive of it remain ill understood. They are motivated by Wittgenstein's view that the problems he addresses result from misinterpretation, driven by 'urges to misunderstand'. The present paper clarifies this neglected concept and analyses how such 'urges' give rise to pseudo-problems of one particular, hitherto little understood, kind. This will reveal 'therapeutic' aims reasonable and 'non-theoretical' methods necessary, in one clearly delineated and important part of philosophy. I.e.: By developing a novel account of nature and genesis of one important class of philosophical problems, the paper explains and vindicates a revolutionary reorientation of philosophical work, at the level of both aims and methods.

To truly discern a foreign culture you must absorb it in every sense; watch the metropolitan buzz, eat from wayside stalls, smell incense wafting from temples, share stories with locals in their language, tread ground that's borne the weight of centuries.
This isn't always possible for university students, but some tutors are able to convey their experiences of cross-cultural engagement in a way that makes you feel like you're really there. Andrew Scrimgeour, of UniSA's School of Education, is able to do exactly that with his uniquely captivating teaching style. His insatiable curiosity for our neighbouring region, which began decades ago in his early-twenties, has taken him to remarkable places. He's hopped across some of Indonesia's 17,000 islands, rode bullet trains between China's ballooning megacities, and traversed the Pamir Plateau; one of the world's most remote and geographically-significant locations. More often than not he chooses the less-beaten paths, backpack in tow, without any fixed preconceptions.
Although being a keen traveller myself I often overlooked Asia, until I took his Australia in the Asian Century class last year. Each week he'd introduce a new country with a combination of media, academic articles and statistics, whilst deftly embedding his own stories in a broader political context. For example, Andrew highlighted the prevalence of Chinese surveillance with a recount of his brief detainment after simply exploring a small village in a sensitive border region. Through his effusive recounts of meeting Iranians, I discovered that many young Iranian women are outgoing and well-educated, despite the cloak of conservative Islam they must wear. After Andrew's analysis of Australian media on our closest neighbour, I learnt of Indonesia's rich diversity and turbulent history that's far more important than the predominant 'beef, boats and Bali' narrative.
Not only does he teach content relevant to Australia's engagement with Asia in a challenging era of strained international relations, in which our near neighbours are rapidly gaining influence, Andrew takes his students on compelling adventures that stretch well beyond the classroom walls. He encourages his students to question the (mis)representations of Asia we see in everyday life, and rethink our perceptions of its myriad of cultures.
'I try to create an understanding and appreciation that people in Asian societies have different historical experiences and cultural values and practices, and therefore see the world and respond to it in ways that differ from the average Australian'.
With a successful career and an impressive list of academic publications behind him, Andrew's passion has materialised in Chinese language teaching and language teacher education. Although, his knowledge and insight across the whole continent can spark students' interest in any of its locations. As I write this, I'm sitting in my 'kos' in Jakarta, on a two-month journalism placement. After just three weeks I'm utterly obsessed with Indonesia and all its intricacies, and if it weren't for Andrew I doubt I'd be here.
In 2019 he will teach courses in Languages Education, as well as two university-wide electives: Chinese for Social Interaction and Australia in the Asian Century.

Q: How to get the selected value of a drop down in jquery I am trying to show the selected value of a drop down, but its not selected the dropdown value, but adding another value to the dropdown list.
here is the code I am using:
jquery
var companyId = $(this).closest('tr').find('#headquarterIdForSearch').text();
                var companyName = $(this).closest('tr').find('#companyNameId').text();
                $(this).parents().find('.hqSelect option:selected').val(companyId).text(companyName);

The above code is not selecting the value that I am assigning to the Text and val property. However, it is adding a new property. Lets say, I have fetched value for companyName as "FIS" and companyId as 123.
The value is present under the dropdown however, it is adding a new value to the dropdown.
How can I show the selected value? I have also used the below code:
$('#dropDownId :selected').text();

Thanks,

A:

alert($('#id').val());

function demo()
{
  alert($('#id').val());

}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<select id='id' onchange="demo()">
  <option value="1">Vijay  </option>
  <option value="2">Raj  </option>
  <option value="3">Ganesh  </option>
  <option value="4">Ram  </option>
  </select>

A: Try this:
<option value="one">One</option>

$('#dropDownId').val();

It will give the selected option value ie. value="one" from above code snippet.

A: Just use .val() function to get the value, you don't need to pass any argument.
$(this).parents().find('.hqSelect').val()

Not to be confused with Cycloserine.
Cyclosarin or GF (cyclohexyl methylphosphonofluoridate) is an extremely toxic substance used as a chemical weapon. It is a member of the G-series family of nerve agents, a group of chemical weapons discovered and synthesized by a German team led by Dr. Gerhard Schrader. The major nerve gases are the G agents, sarin (GB), soman, tabun, and the V agents such as VX. The original agent, tabun, was discovered in Germany in 1936 in the process of work on organophosphorus insecticides. Next came sarin, soman and finally the most toxic, VX, a product of commercial insecticide laboratories prior to World War II.
As a chemical weapon, it is classified as a weapon of mass destruction by the United Nations, according to UN Resolution 687, and its production and stockpiling was outlawed by the Chemical Weapons Convention of 1993.
Like its predecessor sarin, cyclosarin is a liquid organophosphate nerve agent. Its physical characteristics are however quite different from sarin.
At room temperature, cyclosarin is a colorless liquid whose odor has been variously described as sweet and musty, or resembling peaches or shellac. Unlike sarin, cyclosarin is a persistent liquid, meaning that it has a low vapor pressure and therefore evaporates relatively slowly, about 69 times slower than sarin and 20 times slower than water.
Also unlike sarin, cyclosarin is flammable, with a flash point of 94°C (201 °F).
Cyclosarin also demonstrates greater toxicity than sarin (GB) in humans, with an LD50 of 5 mg (for a 70 kg human) compared to an LD50 of 1.2 mg for GF. The LCt50 of cyclosarin is 50 mg·min/m³, which is half that of GB.
First synthesized during World War II as part of Germany's chemical weapons research on organophosphate compounds after their military potential was discovered, cyclosarin was also studied later in the United States and Great Britain in the early 1950s as part of a systematic study of potential nerve agents. However, cyclosarin was never selected for mass production due to its having more expensive precursors than other G-series nerve agents such as sarin (GB).
To date, Iraq is the only nation known to have manufactured significant quantities of cyclosarin for use as a chemical agent and to actually deploy it in battle. During the Iran-Iraq war (1986-1988) the Iraqis used sarin and cyclosarin together as a mixture. This was likely done to obtain a more persistent chemical agent as well as in response to an existing embargo placed on alcohol precursors for sarin.
Like other nerve agents, cyclosarin can be shipped in binary munitions.
A cyclosarin binary weapon would most likely contain methylphosphonyl difluoride in one capsule, with the other capsule containing either cyclohexanol or a mixture of cyclohexylamine and cyclohexanol.
According to CBWInfo.com, Iraq fielded munitions filled with a mixture of GB (sarin) and GF (cyclosarin). Tests on mice indicated that GB-GF mixtures have a relative toxicity between GF and GB.
Press release from Centcom confirming that the chemical munitions found by the Poles dated back to before the 1991 Gulf War, and, thus, could not represent a threat.

Resolution on Texas Association of School Boards (TASB)
December 16, 2021 by Republican Party of Texas
**The following resolution was passed by the SREC during their 4th Quarter 2021 meeting, held December 4th 2021.
WHEREAS, the National School Boards Association (NSBA) has made statements equating parents' public actions and comments opposing the teaching of Critical Race Theory (CRT) in our public schools with "domestic terrorism and hate crimes" in a letter to President Biden; and
WHEREAS, this letter, which NSBA has since retracted, spurred the state school board associations of Louisiana, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee to terminate their affiliation with NSBA; and
WHEREAS, the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) admitted in a letter that the NSBA letter to President Biden "missed the mark" but only committed to working more diligently with NSBA; and
WHEREAS, organizations like TASB, which has allowed the erosion of Texans' parental authority, should not take direction from NSBA; now
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Republican Party of Texas firmly believes that local Independent School Districts (ISDs) should sever their ties with TASB in order to protect Texas children and the voices of parents; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Republican Party of Texas opposes tax dollars being sent by local ISDs to TASB and NSBA, which both have promoted Critical Race Theory and have opposed Parental Rights; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this resolution shall be sent to all members of the Texas Legislature and to the President of the Texas Association of School Boards, posted on the Republican Party of Texas website, and shared by the SRECs with the ISDs in their respective Senate Districts.
The post Resolution on Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) appeared first on Republican Party of Texas.

What Causes Wet Flatulence?
Prevention/Solution

While it may be the, er, butt of many jokes, flatulence can be both socially and physically painful. Known by the more common names of "farting" or "passing gas," flatulence is a normal function of the human (and animal) excretory system that may produce not only an audible sound and unpleasant odor, but occasional rectal moistness as well. While the extra moistness may not be indicative of any alarming medical condition, it can be uncomfortable.
While it may be the, er, butt of many jokes, flatulence can be both socially and physically painful. Known by the more common names of "farting" or "passing gas," flatulence is a normal function of the human (and animal) excretory system that may produce not only an audible sound and unpleasant odor, but occasional rectal moistness as well. While the extra moistness may not be indicative of any alarming medical condition, it can be uncomfortable.
Flatulent gas, aka "flatus" in medical terminology, is a combination of hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, methane and carbon dioxide. While flatulence derives its combustible properties from the methane and hydrogen mix, the sulfuric smell is attributed to the inclusion of trace elements of sulfur in the expelled gas. Some degree of rectal moistness is to be expected; however, excess moisture is usually a sign of impending diarrhea.
The main flatus-producing culprit is the bacteria that lives in the stomach and colon and is responsible for the breakdown of digested foods. Undigested sugary compounds such as lactose, sorbitol and fructose, as well as carbohydrate-based foods like wheat or rice, are all known gas-making contributors. Swallowed air becomes trapped in the digestive system and can be expelled as flatulence, although the air cannot be the only cause due to its relatively small presence.
Excessive gas production, thus excessive rectal moisture, is blamed on any one of three main reasons (or combination of). Every individual and animal has a certain amount of digestive bacteria present in their system. Some may have more than others, or the bacteria may be more efficient at breaking down the aforementioned foods, which would produce the gas faster and in greater abundance. Second, undigested food can pass from the stomach to the colon, where the largest amount of bacteria resides, thus creating more gas than usual. Finally, if the bacteria "grows over" its colon confines and moves into the intestines, it will begin digesting food that isn't ready for digesting, creating the additional gas buildup
Many doctors advise patients complaining of excess gas to modify their diet, excluding lactose-containing dairy products to rule out (or confirm) a digestive intolerance to the sugar. Reducing consumption of the starches and carbohydrates related to flatulence is the norm, although eliminating these from the diet are nearly impossible as the foods are abundant and nutritionally viable. Many successfully turn to common over-the-counter remedies like Pepto Bismol, Gas-X and Mylanta (which possess anti-diarrheic agents, as well).
The average person expels flatus about 14 times daily, equaling nearly three pints.
Ancient Greek physician Hippocrates preached that flatulence was based on good health; later, Roman law permitted passing gas in public, a decision that was later overturned without explanation 1.
Flatulence held center stage in the Moulin Rouge in the 19th century when Frenchman Joseph Pugol's musical buttocks entertained thousands.

Region-specific expression of cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (cdk5) and its activators, p35 and p39, in the developing and adult rat central nervous system
J Neurobiol. 1998 May;35(2):141-59. doi: 10.1002/(sici)1097-4695(199805)35:2<141::aid-neu2>3.0.co;2-4.

The ubiquitously expressed cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (cdk5) is essential for brain development. Bioactivation of cdk5 in the brain requires the presence of one of two related regulatory subunits, p35 and p39. Since either protein alone can activate cdk5, the significance of their coexistence as cdk5 kinase activators is unclear. To determine whether the two activators are expressed in different cells throughout the nervous system and during development, we compared the tissue distributions of cdk5, p35, and p39 mRNAs in the rat using in situ hybridization. In the adult rat, expression levels of p35 mRNA are generally higher in the brain than in the spinal cord, while the converse is observed for p39 mRNA. During neurogenesis, both p35 and p39 transcripts can be detected as early as embryonic day 12 (E12) in the marginal zone, but are absent from the ventricular zone, which may restrict cdk5 activation to the postmitotic neural cells in the developing brain. The expression levels of p35 and p39 mRNAs in the marginal zone increase by E15 and E17, paralleling the neurogenetic timetable. One exception is in the rostral forebrain, where p35 mRNA expression levels are high, suggesting that p35 may be the major activator for cdk5 during telencephalic morphogenesis. A significant level of p35 mRNA is present in the myotome at E12 and p35 expression persists in the premuscle mass and mature musculature at later stages, suggesting that p35 may also activate cdk5 during myogenesis.

Mandy-Jayne Richardson Pursues Career as International Répétiteur and Coach
Karen Kain, Artistic Director of The National Ballet of Canada, today announced that after 20 years with the company, Senior Ballet Mistress Mandy-Jayne Richardson will pursue international opportunities as a répétiteur and coach at the end of the 2018/19 season.
Ms. Richardson joined the National Ballet's artistic staff in 1998 and was appointed Senior Ballet Mistress in 2005. During her two decades with the company, Ms. Richardson has set numerous ballets for the National Ballet, including Christopher Wheeldon's The Winter's Tale and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, John Neumeier's Anna Karenina, Alexei Ratmansky's Romeo and Juliet, James Kudelka's Swan Lake, The Nutcracker and Cinderella, which she set to great acclaim on American Ballet Theatre and Boston Ballet.
"For the past 20 years, Mandy has been an important member of the National Ballet's artistic team. We will miss the professionalism, insight and care she contributed to the company over the past two decades and congratulate Mandy on her choice to pursue this rare opportunity. We look forward to welcoming her back as a guest répétiteur in the years ahead," said Ms. Kain.
A native of London, England, Ms. Richardson studied dance at The Royal Ballet School before joining Sadler's Wells Ballet, where her repertoire included leading roles in Swan Lake, The Sleeping Beauty, Giselle, Elite Syncopations, Brouillards and Five Tangos. In 1986, she became a member of Het Nationale Ballet before joining New York City Ballet in 1988. Ms. Richardson retired from the stage in 1991.
Ms. Richardson will return to set ballets, including Mr. Wheeldon's works, on the company in the future. The National Ballet wishes Ms. Richardson all the best in this new chapter of her career.
The National Ballet of Canada gratefully acknowledges the ongoing support of the Canada Council for the Arts; the Ontario Arts Council; the City of Toronto through the Economic Development & Culture Department; the Government of Canada – Department of Canadian Heritage, through the Honourable Pablo Rodriguez, Minister of Canadian Heritage and Multiculturalism; and the Government of Ontario through The Honourable Michael Tibollo, Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport.
