Celebrating all things American with The Fat Hippo & the Doughnut Guy.
Staff enjoy delicious burgers and doughnuts while others brave our pop up bucking bronco!
In the week of American Independence Day, Quorum took on an USA flavour! With a celebration event around Quorum Sports Courts.
The Fat Hippo Burger Bar created an American themed menu just for us – including 'The American' A 4oz Beef Patty topped with Monterey Jack cheese, pickles, Ketchup and American mustard served with either a side of Cajun fries or some good old American Mac & Cheese balls.
The Fat Hippo Burger Bar was joined by the Doughnut Guy selling deep fried mini donuts with various toppings. Staff had the option to take a free turn on our bucking bronco – with varying levels of success! Those who managed more than 10 seconds were in a minority!
The event proved very popular with staff, all enjoying the glorious sunshine and free entertainment.


中田島砂丘 The Nakatajima Sand Dunes in Hamamatsu, Shizuoka Prefecture is the second largest grouping of sand dunes in Japan. For me, it is such a perfect place to view pacific ocean, sunrise and sunsets, beach and dunes, To unwind, relax, or go picnic, and surfing of course! And this time, I feel so lucky to witness some hatchling loggerhead turtles being released into the ocean. Just two bus rides from home and it definitely worth the visit if you are heading to Hamamatsu station, or downtown of Hamamatsu.
I thought these amazing grey endless sand dunes and beach in Nakatajima would be the perfect place to shoot this perfect summer look making an amazing contrast against the perfect view of Pacific Ocean. For this look, I styled DRESSIN swimwear with this blooming mint floral kimono which looked really nice together.

Justin Long Is Going Walrus For Kevin Smith In Tusks
September 26, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment
Kevin Smith was going to give up directing after making his hockey movie Hit Somebody. Then plans changed and Hit Somebody became a mini-series, and Smith decided he was gonna make one more film, Clerks III. But that was definitely it.
Except now it's not, as he's going to slot in a strange, Hammer Horror style monster movie before shooting Clerks III. The film is called Tusks, and according to EW it'll star Justin Long and Red State's Michael Parks.
Smith had the idea for the film after he saw a Craigslist-type posting where a walrus-obsessed man sought a roommate he could dress up as the sea mammal, as if he lived with an animal rather than a person. That set Smith's brain whirring and now he's set to shoot it next month of a tiny $2 million budget, while he waits for funding to be completed on Clerks III.
Kevin says, "It's about a guy who turns another guy into a f**ing human walrus. As weird as it is in my head when I talk about it, they finally sent me the costume designs by Robert Kurtzman, and I was like, 'Holy s**t, it's a monster movie, I had no idea.' I thought I was making a kind of sister thriller to Red State. As soon as I saw the designs, I go, 'Of course this is a monster movie and he's Dr. Frankenstein.'"
Talking about the cast he says, "I wrote the script around him, so it's nothing but Michael Parks dialogue porn. Justin Long is the guy in the walrus suit. I needed a guy who has expressive eyes because once you're in that suit, you're covered. I reached out to Justin and he wrote back and was like, 'This is awfully scary but how can we not? Let's fall down this hole.'"
ACTORS: Justin Long, Michael Parks DIRECTORS: Kevin Smith FILMS: Tusks

The health secretary is calling for predictive genetic tests for common cancers and heart disease to be rolled out on the NHS without delay.
Matt Hancock, speaking at the Royal Society on Wednesday, revealed he recently took a commercial genetic test that showed he was at heightened risk of developing prostate cancer, saying he was shocked by the result. Hancock called for a national debate about the ethical issues around testing for diseases, some of which could not readily be treated.
However, the prospect of a rapid rollout of genetic testing has attracted criticism. The tests, which have been largely developed using genetic data from white Europeans, give less accurate results for people from different ethnic backgrounds. Using them to guide health interventions could entrench health inequalities within screening programmes.
Others have raised concerns that genetic tests could create unnecessary stress or confusion or lead to "genetic fatalism", where people abandon efforts to maintain a healthy lifestyle on the belief they are genetically destined to get a particular illness.
Hancock, 40, recently took a commercial test looking at his genetic risk of 16 diseases. He was at below average risk for most conditions but said: "My risk of prostate cancer by age 75 is almost 15%." The average lifetime risk is about 12%.
As a result, Hancock said, he has booked an appointment with his NHS GP to discuss the correct course of action. However, Curtis said the health secretary had "massively misinterpreted" his score, which he said revealed he had a fairly average risk of prostate cancer.
Curtis said the value of genetic testing for common diseases had been overstated, since only people at the extremes of the distribution would have significantly higher or lower risk than average.
The company that carried out Hancock's test, Genomics Plc, has developed similar genetic risk tests for a range of other common conditions including coronary heart disease, breast cancer, asthma and diabetes.
He said there remained critical questions about the extent to which people from minority ethnic backgrounds were disadvantaged when it came to test results. Early tests suggested the company's tests provided information about risk for ethnic minorities, but with less precision.

Keynote - The oneAPI Software Abstraction for Heterogeneous Computing
oneAPI is a cross-industry, open, standards-based unified programming model. The oneAPI specification extends existing developer programming models to enable a diverse set of hardware through language, a set of library APIs, and a low-level hardware interface to support cross-architecture programming. It builds upon industry standards and provides an open, cross-platform developer stack to improve productivity and innovation.
At the core of oneAPI is the DPC++ programming language, which builds on the ISO C++ and Khronos SYCL standards. DPC++ provides explicit parallel constructs and offload interfaces to support a broad range of accelerators. In addition to DPC++, oneAPI also provides libraries for compute- and data-intensive domains, e.g.: deep learning, scientific computing, video analytics, and media processing. Finally, a low-level hardware interface defines a set of capabilities and services to allow a language runtime system to effectively utilize a hardware accelerator
Henry Gabb
Henry A. Gabb is a Senior Principal Engineer in Software and Advanced Technology Group at Intel. Much of his career has been spent promoting the value of parallel computing, now focusing on oneAPI for heterogeneous parallelism. Henry holds a bachelor's degree in biochemistry from Louisiana State University, a master's degree in medical informatics from the Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine, a doctorate in molecular genetics from the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Medicine, and a doctorate in information science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Prior to joining Intel, he was Director of Scientific Computing at the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center MSRC, a Department of Defense high-performance computing facility.

9: Electronic Properties of Materials - Superconductors and Semiconductors
[ "article:topic-guide", "showtoc:no", "license:ccbysa", "source[1]-chem-183359" ]
https://chem.libretexts.org/@app/auth/3/login?returnto=https%3A%2F%2Fchem.libretexts.org%2FCourses%2FUW-Whitewater%2FChem_260%253A_Inorganic_Chemistry_(Girard)%2F09%253A_Electronic_Properties_of_Materials_-_Superconductors_and_Semiconductors
Chem 260: Inorganic Chemistry (Girard)
Explain the physical basis of the Hubbard and Mott models of metal-insulator transitions.
Understand why good superconductors derive from bad metals.
Know the structures and the periodic trends in band gaps and colors of semiconductors.
Obtain the band gap of an intrinsic semiconductor from the temperature dependence of the conductivity.
Predict the doping type when impurities or defects are introduced into a semiconductor.
Correlate the band picture and Fermi level with n- or p-type doping.
Understand the physical principles of operation of diodes, LEDs, solar cells, and FETs.
Explain the differences in structures and electronic properties of crystalline and amorphous semiconductors.
The band model (like MO theory) is based on a one-electron model. This was an approximation we made at the very beginning of our discussion of MO theory: we used hydrogen-like (one-electron) solutions to the Schrodinger equation to give us the shapes of s, p, d, and f atomic orbitals. In a one-electron atom, these orbitals are degenerate within a given shell, and the energy differences between, e.g., 2s and 2p orbitals arise only when we consider the energy of an electron in the field of other electrons in the atom. Moving from atoms to molecules, we made linear combinations to generate one-electron molecular orbitals (and, in solids, one-electron energy bands). But as in multi-electron atoms, life is not so simple for real molecules and solids that contain many electrons. Electrons repel each other and so their movement in molecules and in solids is correlated.
9.1: Prelude to Electronic Properties of Materials - Superconductors and Semiconductors
Correlated electron effects give rise to metal-insulator transitions that are driven by small changes in temperature, pressure, or composition, as well as to superconductivity - the passage of current with zero resistance at low temperatures. In this chapter we will develop some simple models to understand these interesting and important electronic properties of solids.
9.2: Bonding in Metals
Bonding in metals and semiconductors can be described using band theory, in which a set of molecular orbitals is generated that extends throughout the solid. The primary learning objective of this Module is to describe the electrical properties of solid using band theory.
9.3: Band Theory of Solids
The energy levels of an electron in a crystal can be determined by solving Schrödinger's equation for a periodic potential and by studying changes to the electron energy structure as atoms are pushed together from a distance. The energy structure of a crystal is characterized by continuous energy bands and energy gaps. The ability of a solid to conduct electricity relies on the energy structure of the solid
9.4: Semiconductors and Doping
The energy structure of a semiconductor can be altered by substituting one type of atom with another (doping). Semiconductor n-type doping creates and fills new energy levels just below the conduction band. Semiconductor p-type doping creates new energy levels just above the valence band. The Hall effect can be used to determine charge, drift velocity, and charge carrier number density of a semiconductor.
9.5: Resistivity
Resistivity is the material property that pertains to how difficult it is for electrical current to flow through said material. Materials with high resistivity are known as insulators while materials with low resistivity are known as conductors. Spanning from 10-8 Ωm to 1020 Ωm, resistivity possess the largest range of values for any physical property. Resistivity is essential in many material applications including resistors, dielectrics, resistive heating, and superconducting.
9.6: Metal-Insulator Transitions
Under experimentally accessible temperatures and pressures, Si and Ge are always semiconducting (i.e., insulating), and Pb is always metallic. Why is Sn different? The reason has to do with orbital overlap. Theory tells us in fact that any (and all) insulators should become metallic at high enough pressure, or more to the point, at high enough density. For most insulators, however, the pressures required are far beyond those that we can achieve in the laboratory.
9.7: Superconductors
The phenomenon of superconductivity, first discovered in Hg metal in 1911 by Onnes, continues to be only partially understood. It is of great interest to physicists as a macroscopic quantum phenomenon, and to chemists and materials scientists who try to make better superconductors (especially those that superconduct at higher temperatures) and devices derived from them, such as superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs), which are extremely sensitive magnetometers.
9.8: Periodic Trends- Metals, Semiconductors, and Insulators
9.9: Semiconductors- Band Gaps, Colors, Conductivity and Doping
There are a number of places where we find semiconductors in the periodic table.
9.10: Semiconductor p-n Junctions
9.11: Diodes, LEDs and Solar Cells
Diodes are semiconductor devices that allow current to flow in only one direction. Diodes act as rectifiers in electronic circuits, and also as efficient light emitters (in LEDs) and solar cells (in photovoltaics). The basic structure of a diode is a junction between a p-type and an n-type semiconductor, called a p-n junction. Typically, diodes are made from a single semiconductor crystal into which p- and n-dopants are introduced.
9.12: Amorphous Semiconductors
Amorphous semiconductors are disordered or glassy forms of crystalline semiconductor materials with network structures involving primarily covalent bonding. Crystalline silicon, which has the diamond structure, is an ordered arrangement of fused six-membered silicon rings and the local bonding environment of the silicon atoms is tetrahedral. The silicon atoms in amorphous silicon (a-Si) are also predominantly tetrahedrally coordinated, but there is no long-range order in the structure.

Entrepreneurs are ahead of the pack by nature-early adopters and innovators-but no entrepreneur would bet the farm on something just because it's new, any more than he or she would go along just to be part of the crowd. That's why, in Entrepreneur's annual evaluation of software, we profile both the bestselling software and the lesser-known but hot titles and new gizmos that have their own claims to fame. Sometimes the "off" brand will do the job and save you tons of money; other times the bestseller is best in every sense of the word. In each of 13 categories, we review several products. The first product in each section is the current bestseller according to SofTrends, the PC software tracking service of The NPD Group Inc., a market research firm in Port Washington, New York. We also profile exceptional products worth a mention in the "What's Hot" sections. All the products reviewed here deserve your consideration, especially since you can down-load free trial versions of many of them from the publishers' Web sites before doling out any cash. Download directly from the publisher whenever possible, and always isolate new software and check it for viruses. The Web addresses in each listing can also lead to special offers, the most current product information, network pricing charts, and detailed product specifications and requirements. So fire up your Web browser!
If your business depends on knowing what your customers like, what they've bought and what they're likely to want, you probably need a contact management program.
Bestselling Act! 3.0 is a great way to organize. This powerful database feels like it's about people and goals instead of data fields and records, though you can easily customize the fields you enter information into. You can generate reports about your clients or design custom reports. Act! puts your Caller ID feature to work by pulling up a client's record before you answer the phone. You can synchronize your contact files with other databases or other users on your network. Simple but thoughtful features like group meeting scheduling and multiday project monitoring may even free you from your project management software.
Act! 3.0 employs Office 97-type features such as auto-filing entries it's seen before, launching Web pages and sending e-mail through Microsoft Exchange. Other helpful tools include a timer, calendars and a to-do scheduler. Uncompleted tasks are automatically rolled over to the next day's list. You can customize toolbars so the tools you use most are at the tip of your mouse pointer. Tool tips remind you what the icons do as you pause the cursor over them. Act! 3.0 opens DDF, CCD, TXT, CSV, DTF, WPA, DOC, WPD, REP, LBL, ENV, RPT, and TPL files. Act! 3.0 also imports Act! 3.0 DBF, dBASE III-V, Q&A 4.0-5.0 data, and delimited text.

Janna Contact Personal for Windows 95/NT is a sizzling hot deal at $79, since it has powerful features such as integration with Caller ID to bring up a contact's record before you even answer the phone.
Accounting software may not be the flashiest of the bunch, but just try managing your business without it.
QuickBooks 5.0, produced by the same folks who make Quicken for personal users, is the bestselling bean-counter for business. The package will run on Windows 3.1 or Windows 95 and uses 32MB of your hard drive. The program customizes itself to your industry, and you can turn off features your business doesn't use.
Quickbooks deals with estimates, invoices, finance charges, refunds and credits, receivables, sales, deposits, purchases, credit cards, checking accounts, payroll management, forecasts, and more. The new layout designer makes it easy to customize forms. Quickbooks has built-in Internet access for online banking, and the Windows version includes an Intuit edition of Netscape Navigator. Choose customers or jobs from a drop-down list to create invoices, and fill out checks onscreen. Sum up your bottom line with reports and graphs.

This program offers sophisticated features at a price that won't bust your bottom line.
Small Business Financial Manager 97, $99 (Windows 95/NT 3.51), requires Excel 97, Microsoft Corp.
Quicken Basic 98, $39.95 (Windows 3.1 or 32-bit Windows 95), $34.95 (Macintosh version), Intuit Inc.
QuickPay 3.0, $39.95 (Windows 3.1/95), Intuit Inc.
TurboTax for Business (1996 version), $69.95 (Windows 3.1/95), Intuit Inc.
Intuit Inc.'s QuickBooks 5.0 Pro ($199) for Windows 3.1/95 has Quickbooks 5.0 features plus improved estimates, job costing, time-tracking and milestone invoicing features.
Quicken Deluxe 98 ($59.95) for Windows 3.1/95 is personal financial software in that it organizes bank accounts, reminds you to pay bills, helps you bank online, keeps a home inventory, tracks stock online, looks for tax deductions and helps plan debt reduction. But this program from Intuit Inc. also helps small businesses track payroll and manage accounts payable, accounts receivable and other projects. A Macintosh version is also available.
Intuit's Quicken Home & Business 98, expected to be released by press time, will integrate invoicing and other business accounting basics with personal and basic business financial management, such as tracking accounts receivable, calculating sales tax and generating tax reports.
One of the big ideas behind Windows was that all your programs would have similar interfaces and interact with each other. Those who like that idea will appreciate office suites-groups of programs from a single company that look more alike and interact better together than programs chosen at random. Because software companies live by upgrades, they are eager to get you hooked on as many products they own as possible-and that can mean suites are a sweet deal for your business. You can save money buying an entire suite-usually containing word processor, spreadsheet and presentation programs-over purchasing individual programs. In fact, you can often get in on an office suite for its upgrade price with a "competitive upgrade offer"--a special price offered to users of a competitor's products.
The upgrade to Office Pro 95 is actually the bestseller, and you can qualify for the upgrade price if you own suites from any of several other vendors, as well as earlier versions of Microsoft Office or Works. Office Pro 97 uses 191MB of your hard drive and contains Word 97 (word processor), Excel 97 (spreadsheet), Power-Point 97 (presentation), Access 97 (database), Outlook 97 (information manager) and Bookshelf Basics (references). The Standard edition, priced at $100 less, leaves out Microsoft Access and Bookshelf Basics.
What's new in this version of Microsoft Office? In Word 97, there's animated text; an icon that takes you to your Web browser; and when you type an e-mail or Web address, the URL becomes a hot link. More of your typing gets AutoCorrected, and the new AutoComplete feature offers suggestions when you begin typing a date. The Excel 97 spreadsheet has Formula AutoCorrect, text rotation and the ability to embed ActiveX Controls into spreadsheets. Database manager Access 97 lets you filter by highlighted data or by form, and you get many more wizards. The presentation program, PowerPoint, has more designs for your slide shows. Various other Office applications let you create hyperlinks to other documents, to specific places in documents or to Web sites, and you can translate files to HTML to create Web pages.
There are other worthy new features, and you'll read about more of them under our word processors, spreadsheets and database managers categories, where applications from Microsoft swept the bestseller spots. If the last Office products you really loved were Excel 3.0 and Word 2.0a (or 6.0), this version of Office will drive you nuts until you tame its "helpful" features. But if you crave animated text, documents that second-guess you, and hypertext everywhere, you'll love Office 97. The most useful improvements are in Access 97, where much-needed wizards make the product immediately accessible to beginners.
Microsoft Office 97 Standard Edition, $499, upgrade $209 (Windows95/NT), Microsoft Corp.
Microsoft Office 97 Small Business Edition ($499; upgrade $209) for Windows 95/NT has Word 97, Excel 97 and Outlook 97 but trades the Access 97 database and PowerPoint presentation programs for Publisher 97-the best desktop publishing program around for small businesses. Publisher isn't as complicated as professional publishing programs like PageMaker or Corel Ventura, but it lets you create great brochures, newsletters, business stationery and other documents important to a business. Microsoft's Office 97 Small Business Edition also includes Small Business Financial Manager and Automap Streets Plus. This is definitely the best suite for businesses that do their own publishing and don't need a database manager or presentation program.
Integrated software is like a mini-office suite under a single roof-more like a department store than a shopping mall.
Top seller Microsoft Works 4.0 takes up 16MB of hard-drive space and provides word processing, database, spreadsheet, address book and communications (modem) software under one icon. Task wizards help you do what you need to do by choosing an activity instead of a program.
Any business considering Works 4.0 should take a look at Micro-soft Home Essentials-which includes MS Works 4.0 and much more (see "What's Hot" below).
You can get Works 4.0 in Micro-soft Corp.'s Microsoft Home Essentials 97, plus full versions of Microsoft Word 97, Encarta 97 (encyclopedia), Greetings Workshop (desktop publishing), Arcade (games), fonts and clip art, all for $109. The three-CD set for Windows 95 has a master-install menu that makes it easy to install just what you want at any time.
ClarisWorks Office, scheduled to be released by press time, will contain ClarisWorks 5.0, with its latest word processing, spreadsheet, database, graphics, presentation, and Internet features.
Even if you've been living in a cave, you've probably seen the letters "www" somewhere. It's time to see what all the fuss is about-and what it can mean for your business.
At press time, the bestseller Netscape Navigator 3.0 Personal Edition had been replaced by Netscape Communicator 4.01. In its standard edition, Communicator includes the Netscape Nav-igator 4.01 Web browser, Collabra discussion groups, Page Composer, real-time confer-encing, and Netcaster offline browser. Communicator takes up 9MB of your hard drive (6MB for the Macintosh version). The program integrates Web access, e-mail, FTP (for downloading files), and Usenet news. Version 4.01 auto-finishes URLs as you begin typing them by finding them in your recent site list. Customize your Navigator toolbar and even drag-and-drop sites to the new Personal Toolbar. Tell Communicator to weed out old bookmarks, and it will tell you which sites it can't connect with. Communicator supports multiuser setups, dynamic HTML, messaging, and VRML 2.0 (a virtual reality modeling language). Composer lets you create and publish your own Web pages. Conference supports audio/videocon-fer-encing, whiteboards, and chat. Netscape Communicator 4.01 editions are also available in Digital Unix 3.2/4.0, HP-UX 9.05/10.x, Linux 2.0.x and AIX 4.x, and will be available in IRIX 5.3/6.2/6.3, Solaris 2.4/2.5 and SunOS 4.1.3 soon-perhaps by the time you read this.
Netscape Communications Corp.'s Netscape Communicator 4.01 Professional Edition ($79 after a free 90-day trial period) for Windows 3.1/95/NT 3.51/4.0 and Macintosh System 7.5, adds calendaring, auto-administration, the IBM Host-On-Demand interface, and Mission Control, which allows the system administrator to lock and change preferences company-wide.
Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0, free (Windows 3.1/95/NT) will probably be available as you read this. Many will look to the new features in Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 to see the latest shots fired in the browser war with Netscape.
What do you do with your information? How do you catalogue, organize and mine data about products, clients or patents? You start by breaking down the information into the smallest units and then setting up groups of fields that make up records. By keeping information in its smallest logical units, a good database management program can stand ready to provide answers to questions you haven't even thought of yet.
The Microsoft Access 97 database manager deserves its honored position as the bestseller in this category. I found the old version too difficult to bother with but jumped into 97 and made it work for me right away, thanks to great new wizards and wonderfully simple and straightforward prompts, such as whether I wanted to add my data directly or through a form. A great selection of wizards and templates is ready to serve up databases you're likely to want, such as an address book, asset tracking, contact management, donations, event management, expenses, ledger, inventory control, service call management, time and billing, and several types of libraries and collections. The pre-set databases are extremely custom-izable. If you decide to start with a blank slate, you still get a set of easy-to-use tools for tables, query forms, reports, macros and modules. There's even a label wizard for spitting out reports to printed labels. Customizable toolbars make it even easier to have the data your way in Access 97. And the program takes up just 40MB of hard-drive space.
Business owners may remember cutting and pasting words and phrases-with scissors and tape. Then you'd have to retype the whole document. The word processor has made it possible for millions to revise their work as often as they want without killing trees, and the average word-processing document, with tasteful fonts and type sizes, is a lot better looking than the average typed page ever was.
The upgrade for Word 97 was our analyst's number-one bestseller. The program offers previews of styles before you apply them to your documents, greater control wrapping text around objects, more customizable toolbars and menus, and iconic drop-down menus. A Web toolbar lets users launch Web pages from bookmark-style lists or by typing the URL into a field, but the Web page actually appears in Netscape or the user's other configured browser. This new version also lets you make hypertext of any text and automatically formats URLs as hyperlinks-unless you get in and root out some of the unrequested auto-magic.
Word 97's fluffiest features include animated text formatting options, from a blinking background and marching ants to shimmering and sparkling text. There's also an option to get feedback from the program via animation. One of the most thoughtful features is the "Document Map" view, which opens a hyper listing of places in the document at the left of the screen so you can jump easily from place to place in your document. All these features take up only 46MB of hard-drive space. With careful selection of the useful features over the fluffier, program-slowing ones, Word 97 can be not only the bestseller but simply the best.
Between your computer's language and applications such as word processors and spreadsheets, there's an operating system, or OS. You're probably familiar with one or more of these: Windows 95, DOS, Macintosh System 7, OS/2, UNIX, Sun, and so on. Guess which one is selling best? Remember, there are deals between PC manufacturers and operating systems publishers, so might doesn't always make right.
You knew the Windows 95 upgrade would be the bestseller-and not because it automatically comes loaded with so many PCs. Windows 95 brought Windows into the native 32-bit arena without taking as many resources as NT. Windows 95 also added more efficient navigation through a combination of the Start Menu for launching programs and the button bar for moving among open programs. Although Windows 95 is legendary for causing trouble during installation, it brought networking protocols and other empowering capabilities to the home and small-business desktop, and that buys those users time before having to choose between NT and UNIX derivatives for a business-class operating system. It also buys Microsoft time to make a successor that can compete with the two serious business platforms. The upgrade will need 45MB of hard-drive space.
Sales of what Apple Computer calls the most significant Macintosh upgrade since 1984 are booming-more than 1.2 million copies were sold between July 26 and August 8 this year alone. Macintosh OS 8 allows for faster operations and multitasking, and provides spring-loaded folders that open when a file is dragged on top of them, an Internet Set Up Assistant, and popular Internet software. Personal Web Sharing turns any Mac-intosh into a Web server. QuickTime 2.5, QuickTime VR 2.0, QuickDraw 3D 1.5, and QuickDraw GX multimedia tools are also included. As a result of the recent deal with Microsoft, Internet Explorer, as well as Netscape Navigator, will be bundled with the new Macintoshes. Macintosh OS 8 works on all 68040- and Power-PC processor-based Macintosh OS-compatible systems. It does not support 68030-based systems, even those with PowerPC upgrade cards. Mac-intosh OS 8 will run most existing applications. Macintosh OS 7.6 or 7.6.1 owners are eligible for a $30 rebate.


England skipper Steven Gerrard has stressed the need to avoid swearing at referees during the World Cup to cut out the risk of picking up suspensions.
Referees are reported to be under instructions from FIFA to clamp down on foul language during the four-week tournament in South Africa. Gerrard insists similar guidelines already exist in the Barclays Premier League and knows the importance of England keeping all 11 players on the pitch - including Wayne Rooney - if they are to do themselves justice.
He said: "You just don't swear at the refs. It is important in this day and age for referees to be respected."
Gerrard continued: "If you don't do that, then you are booked and then the team suffers. Everyone has to be on their guard.
"To be fair, we don't get away with it in the Premier League either. But the coach (Fabio Capello) has stressed the importance of having 11 men on the pitch.
"The job is difficult enough with 11 players and we have suffered a couple of times in the past from having people sent off."
One of those was Rooney - against Portugal in the 2006 finals - and his self control has again been in focus this week with his booking against the Platinum Stars.
But Gerrard has urged Rooney to take any frustration he may feel out on his opponents - starting with Saturday's opening clash againast the United States in Rustenburg.
Gerrard said: "I am not sure whether Wayne is going to be targeted by USA but he is experienced enough to deal with it.
"Wayne understands we need him on the pitch. He is a fantastic player and he has to make sure he controls his frustration and takes it out on the opposition."


I'm guessing that you want to know which drops have value to other players. That will vary somewhat but basically, chemicals and dirty items are the main things to keep. They always have resale value and they drop on every map in the game.
Chemicals are either powders (pink and purple) or in little bottles with names like Low Essence, Essence, Ether, etc. The dirty items are things like dirty hearts, dirty stones, dirty ore, etc. If you plan to resell, leave the dirty items as dirty. They will take up less space that way and you can sell them for more. Once you "clean" them, then many of them lose value.
As for other mats. all materials have a quality level. There are some NPC's that sell materials. In Junon, the guy's name is Kiroth and he is in the back of the city near the docks. Anything Kiroth sells doesn't need to be saved because people can just buy from him if they need those mats. He sells wood, metal, cloth and leather with quality level 34 or lower so anything higher than that can only be gotten from a monster drop or by disassembling.Things like fur higher level threads can usually be resold to players too.
Remember that all mats can be sold to an NPC for zulie so technically everything has value.
One last thing- during events there are often special items that drop. Unless they lock to you, those drops are usually in demand and sometimes for pretty high prices.
dirties heart,ores, dirty spiritual stones, dirty zodiacs, jewel chests, essences.
spiritual stones are not found anywhere exept loot from mobs.
weapons, armors= disable get fragments/ used to craft reinforced/hardened and stuff like that.
aetils and stuff that sounds like it.
rest throw or sell npc.

Banks wrongly reject PPI complaints, despite admitting mis-selling
Helen Knapman, Senior News Reporter
Banks and financial firms are wrongly rejecting payment protection insurance (PPI) complaints, despite them putting billions of pounds aside aside to pay consumers.
Data released today by the independent Financial Ombudsman Service, which settles disputes between firms and their customers, shows far too many providers force customers to ask it to adjudicate after rejecting their initial complaint. And when that happens, the Ombudsman finds in the consumer's favour 88% of the time on PPI , on average.
This is even though banks have said sorry for mis-selling and have been ordered to compensate customers by the regulator, the Financial Services Authority.
Of the 106,193 new complaints the Ombudsman received over the six months from 1 July to 31 December last year, down from 149,925 new in the first half of the year, 46,700 cases related to PPI.
Most upheld
While PPI complaints are down from 98,632 in the first half of 2011, major firms Barclays, Lloyds TSB, MBNA and RBS/Natwest all had 99% of PPI complaints against them upheld in the consumer's favour, showing they were wrong to initially reject the claim.
Halifax/Bank of Scotland (Hbos) and Black Horse — both part of Lloyds Banking Group — each had 98% of PPI complaints upheld. The group has put £3.2 billion aside to pay PPI claims, the most of any bank.
The data shows the Ombudsman upheld an average of 72% of complaints in favour of consumers across all product sectors, compared to 47% in the first half of 2011, reflecting the impact of PPI cases.
Wendy Alcock, MoneySavingExpert.com campaigns co-ordinator, says: "It's good to see the number of complaints ending up at the Ombudsman has dropped but this should have plummeted further if banks handle complaints fairly in the first place.
"It's also disappointing to see the overall PPI upheld rate rise to 88% in the months following the new measures being implemented, and shocking that Barclays, Lloyds, MBNA and RBS/Natwest appear to have failed their customers with 99% of cases being awarded against them.
"They must do better if they want to rebuild the trust in the financial services sector."
The Ombudsman expects to receive a record 165,000 PPI complaints in 2012/2013.
Overall complaints
Across all product sectors, MBNA had the highest percentage of complaints upheld by the Ombudsman, at 94%. It was followed by Black Horse and RBS at 93%, then Lloyds TSB at 87%.
Then came Natwest and Barclays, with the providers respectively having 85% and 84% of complaints upheld.
HSBC, which in the first half of the year scored best of the major banks with the Ombudsman upholding just 20% of cases against it, had 80% of cases upheld against it in the second half of the year.
Overall, Barclays received the most complaints at 11,524, followed by MBNA at 9,185. Of the top ten most complained-about businesses, Nationwide had the fewest complaints at 2,513.

After attending a charity event last month, our director and his wife were touched by the heart breaking story of Mrs. Rhian Mannings and how she has turned a devastating circumstance into one of such strength and support for others.
On the 22 February 2012 Rhian tragically lost her baby son, George. He was only 1 year, 1 week and 1 day old. He died after suffering a seizure at home. It was discovered later that George was suffering from Bronchial Pneumonia and Type A Influenza. Then a double tragedy struck Rhian, as her husband Paul tragically died 5 days later, he was 33 years old. Paul took his own life as he simply could not cope with the loss of their baby son.
2 Wish Upon A Star was created in their memory and to support other parents who have suddenly suffered bereavement.
Rhian's charity aims to ensure that every Emergency Department in Wales has a suitable bereavement suite for bereaved families. They also ensure that bereavement boxes are available for families at each of these hospital and that immediate support is available for suddenly bereaved families.
This critically important service also provides a professional counselling service for suddenly bereaved families along with support to individuals who witness the sudden and traumatic death of a child or young adult.
After hearing what Rhian has been through and how she is making it her aim to help support others in this unimaginable situation, we felt that we simply had to do something.
Here at Prichard's we specialise in transport, plant hire, demolition, civil engineering and recycling. We own 4 recycling centres across South Wales and therefore, it has been agreed that Prichard's and Project Red Recycling Ltd. will become official sponsors of 2 Wish Upon A Star and we will donate £1 per tonne of dried mixed recycling to the charity.
We hope that this donation, each month, will help to ensure that no family, experiencing such loss will have to face it alone.
"We cannot thank Tom, Pippa and everyone at Prichard's for this incredible gesture. Sadly, our charity is helping so many families and to continue to make a difference we need to work with others to raise money and awareness. 2 Wish Upon A star was established due to personal reasons and despite now being an all Wales charity it remains home grown with strong beliefs and values. We are extremely proud to be working with a local company who have similar beliefs to us and we are so excited about working with Prichard's in the future. The impact of communities coming together is often underestimated – 2 Wish can help so many because of it. Together we can make a difference. Thank you everyone. Rhian xx"
We will be holding an open morning at Project Red Recycling Ltd. in the New Year where Mrs. Rhian Mannings and Mrs. Prichard will be available to meet with staff and members of the public to discuss the charity and how our donations are helping.
If you are able to donate any amount of money, no matter how big or small, please do so via this link https://www.justgiving.com/2wishuponastar
We commend Rhian and for the strength she has shown and the support she has provided to so many families whilst dealing with such horrific grief herself.

The power struggle between gangs has resulted in the death of your father. You have flown from Hong Kong to avenge your father's death. The missions vary, and all could be plausible making it easy to get lost in the story.
The local multiplayer takes advantage of this open-world game in the best ways possible. You can challenge another player to different activities - including Death Races (last alive or first to the finish wins), Stash Dash (get to a delivery van first and make deliveries while the other player tries to stop you), Liberty City Survivor (1v1 battle against your opponent with many police around), and Defend the Base (co-operatively protect targets from incoming bad guys).
The graphics and lighting effects have been improved over the original version (on the Nintendo DS) to a point where they're good enough for modern mobile gaming.
GTA: Chinatown Wars has built in controller support which means it is compatible with the Google Nexus Player as well as the Amazon Fire TV. This means you can play it on your phone/tablet with a Bluetooth controller, or on an Android console on the big-screen TV with a Bluetooth controller for an even more console-like feeling.
Driving can be pretty difficult with the touch screen controls, though there are two different settings, so one may work better than the other.
While not a con for everybody, this game has virtually nothing new about it. It was originally launched for the PSP (PlayStation Personal) and Nintendo DS (dual screen - new generation of GameBoy). The tutorial is borrowed from the PSP version, while it retains the mini games from the DS version.

'Political chaos' envelops tennis as French Open approaches
Associated PressMay 4, 2019, 12:34 AM EDT
Tennis is in turmoil as the French Open approaches.
As three-time major champion Stan Wawrinka put it: "Politics have overshadowed the action on the courts."
In a letter published Friday in The Times of London, Wawrinka decried his sport's "worrying decline in moral standards" and outlined several aspects of the ongoing drama enveloping the men's tour – and causing more of a racket than the rackets themselves.
"I feel compelled to express my views on this regrettable period in our sport," said Wawrinka, who once was ranked as high as No. 3 and is currently 33rd after a series of injuries. "This episode has left many players, myself included, concerned about the direction tennis is heading in."
There certainly has been a lot going on behind the scenes with regard to who runs the men's professional tour, and lately it's been spilling into public view. The conversation is sure to continue until a key vote for the ATP board of directors takes place May 14 in Rome – and through the next Grand Slam tournament, which begins at Roland Garros on May 26.
Wawrinka slammed the representatives on the board and the player council, saying the problem is not with the governing structure but the caliber of the people in positions of importance.
Wawrinka's letter mentions "political chaos" and the "numerous conflicts of interest" that plague tennis. It also prominently discusses a topic about which he already had been outspoken: Justin Gimelstob, the ex-player, coach and TV commentator who resigned from the tour board this week after pleading no contest to misdemeanor assault for attacking a former friend. While Gimelstob's case still was pending, he was allowed to remain in his powerful ATP post.
The 42-year-old American was sentenced April 22 to three years of probation, 60 days of community service and a year's worth of anger management classes for what prosecutors said was Gimelstob's attack of Randall Kaplan as they trick-or-treated with their kids in Los Angeles on Halloween in 2017.
In a statement to the court, Kaplan said Gimelstob struck him multiple times and threatened to kill him.
"There is no place in our sport for those who behave like Justin. The lack of responses from people involved in the game, particularly at the beginning of this saga, when he was charged last December, was alarming," Wawrinka wrote. "This is a situation where silence amounts to complicity."
Wawrinka also referred to what he called a "concerted plot" to oust Chris Kermode as executive chairman and president of the ATP. Kermode's departure was announced in March after a vote by the board of directors.
Rafael Nadal, who has won 11 of his 17 Grand Slam titles at the French Open, was among those who said they were not consulted before the decision was made to push out Kermode when his current term closes at the end of 2019.
"Many players feel that they were not represented properly throughout the last few months, during which so much has happened politically. I agree with them," Wawrinka wrote. "I do not want to be associated with anyone who played a part in this, let alone be represented by them. I want to be represented by people with clear, strong ethical values."
Novak Djokovic, who was involved in the Kermode situation through his position as president of the ATP player council, conceded that the business matters might have taken a toll on his performance.
After earlier-than-expected losses at Indian Wells and Miami, the top-ranked Djokovic said: "Way too many things off the court. I guess that affected me a little bit on the court."


Technical team lead and people manager with a strong interest in agile delivery.
At SB&G I came to build a new cross-functional squad with the aim to develop our own in-house in-play football trading capabilities. This capability was something which SB&G had previous relied upon 3rd parties for and was a risk to the business. Over a number of iterations we created a highly flexible, highly available application built using AWS serverless services, Lambda, SQS, SNS, Api Gateway, DynamoDB to name a few.
During this time I was a technical team leader for the squad and a line manager to the members of squad with the greatest development focus.

Acronis Files Connect has detailed debug logging facilities built in which can be used to diagnose problems. This is a useful tool that Acronis Mobility Technical Support may ask you to invoke in order to assist in resolving any problems you encounter.
There are over fifty Debug Logging keys available to help diagnose and troubleshoot behaviors in Acronis Files Connect. Unless Acronis MobilityTechnical Support asks you to change them, we recommend that you leave these keys at the their default settings.
The Acronis Files Connect debug log file is called "ExtremeZ-IP LOG.TXT" and by default is created in the Acronis Files Connect program folder under the name of the service. This is usually C:\Program Files\Group Logic\ExtremeZ-IP\Logs\ExtremeZ-IP\ but will be dependent on the installation location and service name (cluster versions of Acronis Files Connect can have multiple services installed). If Acronis Files Connect is running you must make a copy of this file before you will be permitted to open it or mail it, as the Acronis Files Connect service maintains a lock on it.
Global Debug Logging is, by default, set to log messages at the "Warn" and "Errors" level. This is why the log may be useful to technical support even if you did not change the debug logging levels.

Review of LES MISERABLES at Solaire: Somber Yet Still Scintillating
When they started selling tickets to this show last September 2015, I made sure I bought tickets on the first day out. However, due to work, I was only able to buy tickets late that afternoon. The run of this show will start March 11, 2016, which was during the kids' final exams. On March 16-23, we were going to be travelling as the family. Therefore March 26 was the earliest Saturday matinee show I could buy at that time, and it was Black Saturday. The only good center seats were already way up in the balcony area, but I grabbed them just the same.
The story (by Victor Hugo, the music (by Claude Michel Schonberg) and the songs of this play (original French lyrics by Alain Boublil and Jean-Marc Natel, translated to English by Herbert Kretzmer) were very familiar to me already. I had heard and sung along with the soundtrack album way back in the 1980s. In 1993, we watched in awe the Repertory Philippines all-Filipino production staged at the Meralco with Cocoy Laurel as Jean Valjean. That show had the barricades scene done on a rotating stage which was unforgettable for me. In 2012, I rated the film version of the musical by Tom Hooper (with Hugh Jackman as Jean Valjean) as my personal pick for the Oscar Best Picture that year.
Jean Valjean went to jail for 19 years for the crime of stealing a loaf of bread. When he was released, he broke his parole and changed his identity, which became cause for the obsessive pursuit of police officer Javert. Years later, he became the owner of a factory where an unfortunate woman named Fantine worked. When Fantine dies, Valjean took it upon himself to adopt her daughter Cosette and raise her like his own. Several years later, when Cosette was a teenager, she meets and falls in love with an earnest student Marius. Then, the tumultuous June Rebellion of 1832 breaks out in Paris.
In this touring production, the performers were a multinational mix from the UK, US and Australian shows. Their exceptional singing voices were as expected, capturing all the familiar vocal styles and timbers we have heard and loved since the Original Cast recording, with the actors giving their roles their own personal nuances.
Aussie Simon Gleeson was a powerful Jean Valjean. Of all his lung-busting song numbers, for me, his best song was the perfectly rendered "Bring Him Home". Broadway's Earl Carpenter matched Gleeson well as the conflicted Javert, with his excellent renditions of "Stars" and "Javert's Soliloquy". Cameron Blakely and Helen Walsh played the irrepressible Thenardiers, very effective as the comic relief antagonists. I was disappointed when I did not see the name of Rachelle Anne Go on the cast list in the theater lobby. For this show, the tragic Fantine was played by Jessica Daley.
Emily Langridge and Paul Wilkins played lovers Cosette and Marius, with Kerrie Anne Greenland as the third wheel Eponine. I really liked how they staged "In My Life" which segued into "A Heart Full of Love" with the gate, the wall, and the balcony. There were no actual furniture on stage for Marius' lament "Empty Chairs at Empty Tables" but the drama of the song was not diminished a bit with the interpretation done here with candles.
The pacing of the show was at a faster than usual clip, with efficient transition of scenes with their respective set pieces. Along with the lighting and smoke effects, the video backgrounds gave a magical illusion depth to many scenes, making them look bigger than the actual limits of the stage. This was best seen in that scene when Valjean carries the injured Marius through the Paris sewers up to the scene when Javert jumps into the River Seine. Too bad there is no rotating stage for the barricades scene in this particular production.
I do not know if I am just imagining it, but the songs were seemingly sung with a faster tempo than I was expecting. I felt this sucked some of the soul out of the Fantine's "I Dreamed a Dream" and Eponine's "A Little Fall of Rain", interpretations which I found oddly lacking. For me, Greenland's interpretation of the iconic song "On My Own" felt more angry than pained, which did not feel right for me.
Despite seeming too dark or somber, I feel this dramatically-charged production will effectively make you appreciate why this show possesses such timeless appeal. The show-stopping "One Day More" ending the first act (with the distinctive marching choreography) and the tear-jerking "Finale" (with the ghostly vocal effects) were very well-staged indeed. These two big scenes will really linger in your memory long after the show.
The extraordinary music and the powerful songs of this musical will definitely endure for generations. Watching this epic musical unfold on stage with live orchestral music and live singing is so much better than just watching it onscreen as a movie or concert video. You simply must hear these people sing LIVE!
"Les Miserables" opened with a gala night on March 16 at The Theater at Solaire in Parañaque City. It will run up to May 1, 2016. Performances are from Tuesdays to Sundays at 8 p.m. with matinee performances at 2:30 p.m. for Saturdays and Sundays. Show runs 2 hours, 55 minutes (with one 15-minute interval).

I remember seeing this a few years ago in NYC and I loved it. I would love to take the family to see it now that they're older and can enjoy it. I would say that this is a must see for sure.
Claire Algarme April 2, 2016 at 10:49 PM
I've watched Les Miserables either in the movies or on TV. I always wanted to see the musical live and I hope to be able to do that someday.
Lori April 3, 2016 at 1:06 AM
Les Miserables is one of the classics - in my opinion. It's great to see they are bringing it "to light" again. I hope many people will want to see it!
PJ Zafra April 3, 2016 at 1:11 AM
I love this. I know for a fact this was going to be amazing even if I haven't read your review. It's powerful especially when the right people are involved. I love the movie. I would have loved to see this live as well. I bet it's unreal. Great job on this review. Thanks for sharing.

It's such a beautiful musical, whether on stage at the theater or in a movie, Les Miserables would always be one of my favorites. Thanks for the review, the tickets are well worth the performance, without a doubt.
Mumsand Babies April 3, 2016 at 9:27 PM

Ride Review: Devil's Wicked Stepmother 414k Permanent
Being somewhat of a wimp when it comes to riding in cold weather, I've traditionally hung out on my Computrainer until the trees are in bloom. But, when I saw that early March would serve up a midweek day of 80 degrees and sunshine, I had to go big. As Val Kilmer memorably put it, "it's a moral imperative."
The question was, what route to ride? It's hard to get excited about routes leaving from D.C.; while pleasant enough, they're ridden so often that it feels more like a workout than an adventure. The most appealing rides were in the Shenandoah Valley, but that was far enough away that I wanted to make the drive worth it. Finally, with this year's focus on a couple of truly mountainous events, I wanted to climb. Searching the RUSA permanents, the answer quickly became clear: Crista Borras's 414k permanent known as "Devil's Wicked Stepmother." With nearly 18,000 feet of climbing over 258 miles, it's a route that would be challenging at any time of year, much less in March. But, the way I saw it, I could keep the pedals turning and finish eventually. I guessed I might be able to finish it in around 18 hours, but who knew? Only one person had ridden it previously, and given that I didn't recognize his name, I figured it might have prompted him to retire from cycling.
After an indecently early wake-up and drive from D.C., I rolled out from Strasburg, Virginia at 4:00 a.m. One disadvantage to long rides early in the season is that the nights are long -- the first 2+ hours were ridden in the dark. Riding west toward Moorefield, West Virginia, the climbing began almost immediately with a 1500-foot grinder. But it was hard to keep my spirits down: the road surfaces were terrific, the sky was full of stars, and traffic was minimal (although what vehicles there were tended to be massive gasoline tankers, which were not much fun). Unfortunately, although the overnight lows had been predicted to hover around 50, my GPS unit and various billboards showed that the actual temperature was in the high 30s for several hours, which was an entirely different ballgame -- my decision not to wear knee warmers was a misstep. It's a lesson I seem to need to relearn periodically: weather forecasts do not apply in the mountains.
The first control, a Sheetz in Moorefield at mile 53, took longer to reach than I hoped it would; riding in the mountains at night is no recipe for speed. After wolfing down a breakfast burrito the size of my head, I turned south toward Monterey, Virginia, some 90 miles away. This section, through Lost River, WV, is God's Country for any cyclist ambitious enough to take it on: endless vistas, mountain rivers, cliff faces, wildlife, and not a car to be seen for dozens of miles at a time. It's my favorite place to ride in the mid-Atlantic.
There's nothing quite like cruising with a rock face to one side and rapids to the other, and that was the scene for hours on end. It's roads like this that cause me to be sad when people talk about cycling on the trails around D.C. -- to me, that just ain't what it's about. Miles 53-90, to the Brandywine control, were as good as it gets.
The toughest part of this adventure was miles 90-143, i.e., from Brandywine to Monterey. There are virtually no services in this stretch; there is literally no cell service, and West Virginia's ambivalent attitude toward paving roads is on full display -- there was loose pea gravel over much of the surface, and certain stretches were exercises in mitigating damage. Making matters tougher, the temperatures rose quickly, as did the elevation reading: this stretch is essentially 50 miles of false flat, into a strong headwind, punctuated by a series of 1,000-foot climbs. It is excruciatingly slow-going at times. Luckily, there was a country store at mile 120 or so, which allowed me to refill my bottles before continuing the southward slog.
Unfortunately, while I was stopped at the store, I noticed something alarming: apparently the rough pavement of the previous 30 miles had dislodged my flat kit, which was nowhere to be seen. Not good: I was 120 miles from my car, 135 miles from the end of the ride, in the middle of nowhere, with no cell service to speak of. If I'd have flatted, it could have been truly ugly -- without tire levers, I'd have been hard pressed even to get the tire off of the rim. That's one clear benefit of riding in a group -- the ability to help each other out -- but I had no choice but to press on in the hope of finding a small-town bike shop at some point.
The scenery did its best to cheer me up, but in truth, I was pretty nervous about the situation.
Fortunately, no news was good news on the tire front, and after seemingly climbing forever into a diabolical headwind, I rolled into Monterey on fumes. My goal had been to stay in the saddle and make steady progress, but I needed to cool off and fuel up -- to that point, the ride had been much more difficult than I'd expected, and my 18-hour guesstimate was looking profoundly implausible. Given my tire situation, I'd hoped that Virginia's pavement would surpass West Virginia's.
Delightfully, from Monterey, the route turned east and headed into the George Washington National Forest, i.e., The Best Cycling on Earth. There was a toll to be paid in the form of two gut-punch climbs out of Monterey replete with switchbacks that would have been at home in the Alps, but the views from the summits were incomparable, and that immutable cycling truth paid big dividends: what goes up must come down. The descents were just heavenly, complete with the sun speckling through trees and a gentle tailwind.
The saving grace of this route is that, if you can hang on through mile 165, the last century will take care of itself: the Shenandoah Valley guides one home along immaculate roads, and the gravitational pull of the finish line ensures that one stays motivated. I never did pass through a town with a bike shop, but my worries were for naught. To the extent there was a downside, it was only insofar as darkness fell hours before I finished, an inevitable by-product of the season.
The ride finishes at a Denny's, the last refuge of cyclists wearing coral arm sleeves and, um, heavily tattood skinheads. As I sat waiting for my late-night omelette, I was amazed to see that my 18-hour guess had been off by... 2 minutes. Maybe I'm getting the hang of this after all.
Viewing the ride as a whole, I have to say that I think the D.C. Randonneurs are missing a step by failing to include it on the calendar at some point -- it is simply too good to lie dormant on the RUSA website for years on end. The only downside to it is that, yes, it is difficult. But it's surely no more difficult than the Mother of All 300ks, which has nearly as much climbing in a shorter span, and the scenery is well worth it. Congrats to Crista on putting together something special.

El problema es que en el campo "foto" no aparece nada y si selecciono una foto distinta a la que hay, no la actualiza y deja la misma:

Esto es lo que hace mi controlador en el método edit:
public function edit($id)
{
    $empleado=Empleado::FindOrFail($id);
    return view ("empleadoVista.edit", compact("empleado"));
}

Y esto es lo que hace en el método update:
public function update(Request $request, $id)
    {

        $empleado->update($request->all());
        return redirect("empleadoVista/listarTodos");
    }

¿Qué estoy haciendo mal?

A: Solucionado amigos!!!! Había dos problemas:
El primero es que en la cabecera del formulario no había puesto:
enctype="multipart/form-data"

El segundo es que almacenaba la foto en el disco pero no sobreescribía la que ya existía en la BBDD, por lo que la foto seguía siendo la misma. El update correcto sería el siguiente:
    public function update(Request $request, $id)
    {
        $empleado=Empleado::FindOrFail($id);
        if ($request->hasFile('foto')){
            $archivoFoto=$request->file('foto');
            $nombreFoto=time().$archivoFoto->getClientOriginalName();
            $archivoFoto->move(public_path().'/images/', $nombreFoto);

  // esta es la línea que faltaba. Llamo a la foto del modelo y le asigno la foto recogida por el formulario de actualizar.
        $empleado->foto=$nombreFoto;

          }
        $empleado->update($request->all());
        return redirect("empleadoVista/listarTodos");
    }

Gracias a todos por la ayuda!!!

Nakonde ist einer von acht Distrikten in der Provinz Muchinga in Sambia. Er hat eine Fläche von 4809 km² und 178.790 Einwohner (2022). Die Hauptstadt ist Nakonde.
Nakonde gehörte bis 1997 zum Distrikt Isoka und wurde dann ein eigener Distrikt.

Geografie
Nakonde ist das Tor zu Ostafrika und der Hauptstadt Lusaka. Er liegt im Dreiländereck mit Malawi und Tansania. Der Distrikt gilt als eine der verkehrsreichsten Grenzregionen in Sambia. Er grenzt im Südosten an den Distrikt Chitipa in Malawi, im Süden an Isoka und Chinsali, im Westen an Mungwi und Senga Hill, sowie im Nordosten an die Distrikte Momba, Ileje und Tunduma (TC) in der Songwe Region, Tansania.

Bevölkerung
Nakonde hat mit einer jährlichen Wachstumsrate von 4,8 % die am schnellsten wachsende Bevölkerung, verglichen mit der jährlichen Wachstumsrate der Provinz von 2,3 %.

Wirtschaft
Es gibt eine Reihe von Sektoren, die nur wenig erschlossen sind, wie zum Beispiel der Landwirtschaftssektor, der immer noch am Existenzminimum betrieben wird. Dennoch ist Landwirtschaft im Distrikt Nakonde einer der wichtigsten Wirtschaftsmotoren der allerdings stark von der Subsistenzwirtschaft geprägt ist. Die lokalen Landwirte verfügen meist nicht über die notwendige Technologie und das Kapital, um in die kommerzielle Landwirtschaft zu betreiben. Die vorherrschenden landwirtschaftlichen Produkte sind Mais, Hirse, Sorghum, Maniok, Erdnüsse und Sojabohnen. Angesichts des schnellen Bevölkerungswachstums hat der Distrikt auch eine hohe Nachfrage nach tierischen Produkten, jedoch haben nicht viele Landwirte in Vieh- und Geflügelzucht, Aquakultur und andere diversifizierte landwirtschaftliche Programme investiert.

Stellenweise finden sich Kaffeepflanzungen bis hin nach Isoka. Als Exportgut konnte sich Kaffee trotz guter Qualität bisher nicht etablieren, da er unmittelbar verschifft werden muss. In Daressalam wurde der Kaffee aber meist zu lange gelagert.

Bergbauindustrie wird in Nakonde nur wenig betrieben. Es gibt zwei große Steinbrüche in Chilolwa und Chipala, südlich bzw. westlich der Stadt Nakonde. Der Abbau erfolgt allerdings eher im kleinen Maßstab. Laut dem Umweltausblick für Nakonde aus dem Jahr 2013 gibt es Mineralvorkommen, von denen angenommen wird, dass sie sich in Ndingindi, Chanka, Msanza, Namatinji und Nankungulu befinden.

Nakonde ist eines der Zentren für den Holzhandel. Im Energiebereich liefert Nakonde beispielsweise Energie in Form von Holzkohle nach Tansania und andere ostafrikanische Länder bis nach Uganda.

Umwelt
Obwohl der Forstsektor in Nakonde nur schlecht entwickelt ist, hat die Waldbedeckung des Distrikts sich aufgrund des Drucks infolge der Entwaldung und durch den Bedarf an fossilen Brennstoffen verringert. Die Situation hat sich durch die Nutzung von Holz als Energiequelle durch Köhlerei und Brennholzsammlung Verschlechtert.

Der Distrikt ist zu 98 Prozent entwaldet, was in diesem niederschlagreichen Gebiet zu massiver Erosion führt. Holzkohle erzielt im nahen Mbeya einen guten Preis. Die Probleme haben nun zu einer Aufforstung im Distrikt geführt. Allein 2000/01 wurden 30.000 Setzlinge gepflanzt.

Infrastruktur
Das Bevölkerungswachstum geht mit der erhöhten Nachfrage nach Energie einher. 2010 wurde prognostiziert, dass 90 Prozent der Bevölkerung nicht an das nationale Netz angeschlossen waren und keinen Zugang zu Elektrizität hatten.

Der Distrikt verfügt über zwei Radiostationen.

But if you are not a little wary about using stock photos, you may get into the mess of copyright infringement. Your site ratings may go down if you are served with a DMCA Takedown Notice for using a copyrighted image.
So, here we are sharing some tips that can keep you assured that you are using the images for your Social Media Marketing without going the illegal way.Know some basics about the copyright laws –Obviously, I'm not suggesting you go and read the entire law book. But, knowing some basics can save you from the bigger mess. The most basic knowledge may include that no copyright symbol © is necessary for the image to be protected against copyright infringement.
If you use someone else's photo the excuse of the absence of the symbol won't work. Each Social Media Site has different terms and conditions regarding the matter so make sure you read them before re-sharing, re-tweeting or re-pinning etc.Understand the license agreement while purchasing a stock photo – If, you are purchasing stock photos make sure you understand the license you are getting for the price.
Paying the demanded dollar for a particular picture does not guarantee you all the rights of using the picture as per your wish. Take, for example, Royalty Free Photos, you may get excited that you are getting the photo without paying for it and no one would claim for a royalty. But, the fact is, you need to pay an amount to buy the royalty free photo only once and then you can use it multiple times.
Ask for the permission of the owner of the photo – When taking a random photo from Google search rather than buying a stock photo you should consider taking permission of the owner. If, you have seen a certain photo on someone else's social media page don't go and ask the user straight for the permission.
Chances are the user too is using someone else's copyrighted image. When the original owner comes to know the infringement you too would be liable for the claim. So make sure you take the permission from the real owner. To trace out the real owner you can simply perform a Reverse Image Search on Google.
The result will tell you when and by whom the picture was uploaded on the web. Use every possible means to keep your online marketing as fair as you can. The web world is very closely knit and nothing can stay hidden from your target audience's eyes.

How Do Figure Skaters Qualify for the Winter Olympic Games?
Hero Images / Getty Images
Famous Skaters
Jo Ann Schneider Farris
Jo Ann Schneider Farris was a silver medalist in junior ice dancing at the 1975 U.S. National Figure Skating Championships and is the author of two books on skating
Figure skaters who qualify for the Winter Olympics have spent years preparing for the event, but only a very special and select group of figure skaters will qualify and participate in the Olympic Winter Games.
The country hosting the Winter Olympics automatically is eligible to send at least one entry per event, but not all countries are eligible to send even one skater to the Olympic Games.
Only the skaters of the highest caliber will qualify for the Olympics.
The World Figure Skating Championships, which takes place a year before an Olympic Games, is where each country earns a certain amount of Olympic spots.
Countries that had two or three skaters compete in ladies singles at "Worlds," earn three spots to the Olympics in ladies singles if the total sum of the previous year's placements at the world championships is less than 13.
If a country's top two placements' sums are between 14 to 28 for a country, two Olympic spots are earned.
When the country has only one competitor at the World Figure Skating Championships, but that competitor finishes in either first place or second place, then that country earns three Olympic spots.
When only one competitor competed for a country at the previous world championships, and if the skater placed in the top ten, then that country earned two Olympic spots.
The Nebelhorn Trophy, an international figure skating competition which takes place in Oberstdorf, Germany in late September about four months before the Winter Olympics takes place, is the final event where remaining Olympic spots are allocated to countries who had not qualified for Olympic spots at the previous year's World Figure Skating Championships.
Once each country is allocated Olympic spots, each country's national figure skating governing body sets the guidelines for how its particular figure skaters qualify for the Winter Olympics.
Some countries will not send figure skaters to the Olympics unless the skater proves in advance that he or she has a chance of doing well at the Winter Olympics or proves first that he or she can at least place in the top half at the Winter Olympics Games. Canada and other countries look at skaters' past placements in international competitive events.
In the United States, those who represent the USA in the Olympics are usually the skaters who are the winners and also the silver and/or bronze medalists in the championship events at the United States National Figure Skating Championships which takes place during that particular Olympic year.
The US National Figure Skating Championships, in a sense, serves as the official USA Olympic qualifying event or Olympic tryout. Those who will represent the United States at the Olympics will not know if they will qualify until just a few weeks before.
A skater who did really well at the US National Figure Skating Championships or even won the championship title during the year before the Olympics or in previous years, may not qualify for the Olympic Winter Games.
The United States Olympic Figure Skating Team is selected only a few weeks before the Olympic Winter Games begin which means that skaters and their families cannot plan to attend in advance.
The committee that selects the skaters for the United States Olympic Team sometimes do not choose Olympic team members based on their placement at the US Championships that immediately precedes an Olympic Games, but it is very rare that a deviation is made.
Exceptions are made when a skater who deserves to go to the Olympics based on their previous competitive record is unable to compete at "Nationals" due to injury. For example, US figure skater, Michelle Kwan, had already competed in two Olympics and won medals both times. Kwan was injured before the 2006 US National Figure Skating Championships, but, despite her injury, was selected to compete at the 2006 Winter Olympic Games which took place in Torino, Italy based on her impressive and previous competition record. Kwan traveled to Torino but withdrew. Emily Hughes, who had won the bronze medal at the 2006 US National Figure Skating Championships, competed at the 2006 Games in Kwan's place.
