Pakistani investigators believe consumption of alcohol prior to flight affected the judgement of a Shaheen Air Boeing 737's captain, prior to the jet's suffering loss of both main landing-gear after touchdown at Lahore.
The aircraft slid off runway 36L and came to rest nearly 200ft left of the centreline and just over 8,300ft from the threshold.
Pakistani investigation authority SIB states that the aircraft had conducted an unstable approach to the runway, with high speed having already followed an "incorrect" flightpath.
The aircraft had deviated from the correct track and the assigned altitude during the flight.
SIB says the crew's situational awareness had deteriorated and that the captain was suffering loss of concentration, "probably due to effects of alcohol".
The captain was found to have a blood-alcohol level of 83mg/dl. Impairment of the central nervous system, says the inquiry, begins at around 50mg/dl. No trace was found in the first officer.
As the aircraft touched down at Lahore, the probable presence of excess play in the shimmy-damper linkages in the left-hand main gear resulted in vibration and fracture as the wheels touched down, causing the gear to collapse.
Analysis suggested that a slow rate of contact for the left-hand gear "reduced the [effectiveness]" of the shimmy-damping mechanism.
The right-hand main gear – which, in contrast, had sustained a hard touchdown – then collapsed as a result of mechanical overload as the aircraft slid off the runway.
SIB says the aircraft had been serviced properly before the 3 November 2015 accident, and its maintenance history did not indicate any defect relating to left-hand main gear shimmy.
But it adds that the operator's maintenance schedule for shimmy-damper and linkage inspections was "not adequate", especially given that a Boeing service bulletin had outlined a need for enhanced checks.
Investigators put the airspeed at 166kt – and ground speed at 174kt – at the time of touchdown, higher than the reference speed of 134kt.
None of the 121 occupants was injured in the accident despite substantial damage to the aircraft.

I charge per area for each session.* An exact amount will be determined when the patient has been personally assessed by Dr. Cotterill. All full sessions to the front ? to ½ of the scalp will cost from $6,500.00 to $8,500.00 plus taxes, (2500 - 3000+, 1-3 haired single follicular units , either transplanted as individual single units or with follicular unit families of 2 units). In appropriate patients, if both the front half and crown are transplanted ( as much of the entire area of scalp hair loss as possible ) in 1 session, the cost is $10,000.00 up to $12,000.00, plus taxes and can involve transplanting 3500 - 5000 follicular units, depending on the patients donor density. ALL COSTS ARE IN CANADIAN DOLLARS.
Smaller sessions such as scar, scar revision, frontal recessions, eyebrows, beards and other body areas depend on the size of session and can range from $2500.00 - $6500.00 plus taxes.
*As each patient is different in terms of the amount of scalp hair thinning, the amount of donor hair available, the amount of scalp to be treated in each session, and the type of graft to be used, it is impossible to give an exact amount per session without Dr. Cotterill seeing the patient first in consultation. Alternatively, some physicians charge per graft. In some cases the patient is charged for each graft whether it is a 1-hair follicular unit graft, a 3-haired single follicular unit graft or a single 3-haired follicular unit graft cut up into 3 individual grafts, ( which are not true follicular units ). It is important to know not only how many follicular unit grafts, but also how many hairs, are being transplanted in each session. For example: 1000 true single follicular units of 2 hairs each per graft would yield 2000 hairs being transplanted into 1000 recipient sites. However, if the same true 1000 – 2-haired follicular units were cut up into 2000 1-haired grafts, then there would be still 2000 hairs transplanted, but in 2000 recipient sites. Same amount of hair transplanted, but in twice as many recipient sites.
Financing for your procedure can be arranged. Dr. Cotterill uses a patient financing company called Medicard.

Who doesn't enjoy the long morning showers that clean up our bodies and minds while giving us a good energizing start for the day? However, our love for hot showers results in heaps of steam and moisture which when left unchecked can lead to a lot of problems. Mould and mildew growing on our precious bathroom walls, paint peeling off from the cabinets, deteriorating plumbing and warped doors are the biggest problems brought on by humidity.
All of these problems are seemingly solvable with some of the many chemical products on the market today. However, that's not always the smartest step. The chemicals can only treat the resulting damage, but if you don't remove the main cause it's bound to reoccur again. Surely, you don't want to be caught in a viscous cycle where you have to clean up nasty, smelly mould every other week. Then, what solution do you have left? How about those good old extractor fans?
Available in different models ranging from regular ones to an extractor fan with light bathroom package, these convenient appliances are installed right on your ceiling. The way they work is by ventilating out the smelly, moisture-filled air and leaving only dry air behind where mould spores and fungus won't be able to grow. This way, you'll prevent mould forming on areas you come often in contact with such as your bathtub, shower stall, mirror and cabinets. Maintaining normal humidity level is important for your personal health because mould exposure can lead to severe allergic reactions.
This kind of fans are perfect for tiny bathrooms with no windows where the air has no means to escape. Spraying air freshener won't remove the bad odours from human waste, toxic detergents, hairs-prays and steam and can make it even more unbearable. But with a bathroom extractor fan even an enclosed bathroom will always be fresh and will never make you feel embraced when guests ask to visit the loo.
Even though they've been around for a long time now, extractor fans keep developing. Like we've mentioned earlier there are many extractor fan with light packages which combine two practical features. With one push of a button, you can conveniently turn on both the light and the fan. This means the fan will turn on every time the bathroom is being used. And if you were wondering whether this appliance is loud and will disturb you at night, worry not – today's extractor fan with light bathroom packages make as little noise as possible.
If having a breezy fresh and mould-free bathroom is important for you, do not think twice about getting an extractor fan!


So let's now see how is clustering evolving in the universe.
some differential density amount, access sort of efficiency divided by the mean.
are somehow related to the relative variations in density of mass.
and if constant is equal to one then they're fair tracer.
two-point correlation function with the light with that of the underlying mass.
are clumped more strongly than the mass, b will be greater than 1.
That's what proportionality is, right?
And say b is 2 or 3 or 5, then galaxies would not be a fair tracer of mass.
They'd be a biased tracer of mass.
They would be favoring the densest spots.
And so that was the basic idea.
And turns out that some of that is actually happening.
certain density threshold for stuff to fall together and ignite star formation.
interpreted as a superposition of waves of different wavelengths and amplitudes.
So you have small waves riding atop of large waves.
the small peaks that are riding on top of big waves.
in first clusters, and then star formation was spread out.
if you look at the snow line on planet Earth, right?
You will see that it's only the peaks of the highest mountains that are covered.
Andes, and Rocky Mountains, and Himalayas.
eventually all the surface area of the earth is encompassed.
then eventually spread further out as you get more time.
showing both what gas and stars do and what the dark matter does.
what are 2-sigma, 3-sigma, then they run out of volume.
the more clustered will those spots be.
which was very puzzling until Nick Kaiser came up with this idea.
All right, so does bias depend on something?
so on, and that is simply reflecting the bias factor.
they look more strongly correlated.
And so this has now been measured and seems to fit theoretical models just fine.
Okay what about evolution in time?
because the density field slowly collapses upon itself.
Galaxies, coagulate, they creep more.
you expect a weaker clustering at larger edges as you go far away.
And, sure enough, that is what you see.
a function of depth and survey.
And the deeper you go, the weaker it gets.
This is what you generally expect.
And this goes all the way out to about when Euros was half it's present size.
But then beyond that, something weird happens, it turns around.
Then as you go deeper in the past, clustering seems to grow stronger.
because you couldn't just collapse things, and then let them fly apart.
And the answer is the bias itself evolves.
This was already sensed in these redshift histograms from deep pencil beams surveys.
no matter how far we go, filaments and so on.
And now we think we know why this is.
And so look at this.
Those will be the densest, and they will start collapsing first.
And those will be the first one to turn on galaxy formation.
Then you go to lower threshold, say 3-sigma fluctuations.
They'll be following but with some time delay.
And so on down to lowest fluctuations.
would reach it first, and those are beyond the galaxies that you can see.
you'll see that galaxy clustering was stronger in the past.
underlying mass the all growing time, only growing time.
But the illuminated peaks which ones, that changes.
And that explains the observations.
how is that evolving in time again from very deep surveys.
And you can see that near us, at low rated bias factor is about one.
Just as I told you before.
But then as you keep going to higher and higher arches, it keeps climbing.
6-sigma peaks were the ones to first go non-linear and ignite.

Self-isolation turns Japan into the most sustainable society; here's how
PRI ESPL INT .BOURNEMOUTH FES18 JAPAN-SUSTAINABLE-LIFE How centuries of self-isolation turned Japan into one of the most sustainable societies on Earth By Hiroko Oe, Principal Academic, Bournemouth University Bournemouth (UK), Aug 11 (The Conversation) At the start of the 1600s, Japan's rulers feared that Christianity which had recently been introduced to the southern parts of the country by European missionaries would spread. In response, they effectively sealed the islands off from the outside world in 1603, with Japanese people not allowed to leave and very few foreigners allowed in. This became known as Japan's Edo period, and the borders remained closed for almost three centuries until 1868. This allowed the country's unique culture, customs and ways of life to flourish in isolation, much of which was recorded in art forms that remain alive today such as haiku poetry or kabuki theatre. It also meant that Japanese people, living under a system of heavy trade restrictions, had to rely totally on the materials already present within the country which created a thriving economy of reuse and recycling). In fact, Japan was self-sufficient in resources, energy and food and sustained a population of up to 30 million, all without the use of fossil fuels or chemical fertilisers. The people of the Edo period lived according to what is now known as the slow life, a sustainable set of lifestyle practices based around wasting as little as possible. Even light didn't go to waste. Daily activities started at sunrise and ended at sunset. Clothes were mended and reused many times until they ended up as tattered rags. Human ashes and excrement were reused as fertiliser, leading to a thriving business for traders who went door to door collecting these precious substances to sell on to farmers. We could call this an early circular economy. Another characteristic of the slow life was its use of seasonal time, meaning that ways of measuring time shifted along with the seasons. In pre-modern China and Japan, the 12 zodiac signs (known in Japanese as juni-shiki) were used to divide the day into 12 sections of about two hours each. The length of these sections varies depending on changing sunrise and sunset times. During the Edo period, a similar system was used to divide the time between sunrise and sunset into six parts. As a result, an hour differed hugely depending on whether it was measured during summer, winter, night or day. The idea of regulating life by unchanging time units like minutes and seconds simply didn't exist. Instead, Edo people who wouldn't have owned clocks judged time by the sound of bells installed in castles and temples. Allowing the natural world to dictate life in this way gave rise to a sensitivity to the seasons and their abundant natural riches, helping to develop an environmentally friendly set of cultural values. Working with nature From the mid-Edo period onwards, rural industries including cotton cloth and oil production, silkworm farming, paper-making and sake and miso paste production began to flourish. People held seasonal festivals with a rich and diverse range of local foods, wishing for fertility during the cherry blossom season and commemorating the harvests of the autumn. This unique, eco-friendly social system came about partly due to necessity, but also due to the profound cultural experience of living in close harmony with nature. This needs to be recaptured in the modern age in order to achieve a more sustainable culture and there are some modern-day activities that can help. For instance zazen, or sitting meditation, is a practice from Buddhism that can help people carve out a space of peace and quiet to experience the sensations of nature. These days, a number of urban temples offer zazen sessions. The second example is forest bathing, a term coined by the director general of Japan's forestry agency in 1982. There are many different styles of forest bathing, but the most popular form involves spending screen-free time immersed in the peace of a forest environment. Activities like these can help develop an appreciation for the rhythms of nature that can in turn lead us towards a more sustainable lifestyle one which residents of Edo Japan might appreciate. In an age when the need for more sustainable lifestyles has become a global issue, we should respect the wisdom of the Edo people who lived with time as it changed with the seasons, who cherished materials and used the wisdom of reuse as a matter of course , and who realized a recycling-oriented lifestyle for many years. Learning from their way of life could provide us with effective guidelines for the future. (The Conversation) NSA 08110954 NNNN

Q: How recursively update nested objects from one object by another use mapstruct or modelmapper? Better i explain my task by an example of what I want to get.
Is it possible to solve this use mapstruct / modelmapper / etc?
class Person{
    String name;
    Address address;
}

class Address{
    String street;
    Integer home;
}

Updates:
{
    name: "Bob"
    address: {
                 street: "Abbey Road"
             }
}

Target:
{
    name: "Michael"
    address: {
                 street: "Kitano"
                 home: 5
             }
}

And as result i want get:
{
    name: "Bob"
    address: {
                 street: "Abbey Road"
                 home: 5
             }
}

It must't rewrite Address object. It recursively set new values in it.

A: Yes you can use Updating existing bean instances from MapStruct to do the updates you are looking for.
The mapper would look like:
@Mapper(nullValuePropertyMappingStrategy = NullValuePropertyMappingStrategy.IGNORE, nullValueCheckStrategy = NullValueCheckStrategy.ALWAYS)
public interface PersonMapper {

    void update(@MappingTarget Person toUpdate, Person person);

    void update(@MappingTarget Address toUpdate, Address address);
}

The generated code for this would look like:
public class PersonMapperImpl implements PersonMapper {

    @Override
    public void update(Person toUpdate, Person person) {
        if ( person == null ) {
            return;
        }

        if ( person.getName() != null ) {
            toUpdate.setName( person.getName() );
        }
        if ( person.getAddress() != null ) {
            if ( toUpdate.getAddress() == null ) {
                toUpdate.setAddress( new Address() );
            }
            update( toUpdate.getAddress(), person.getAddress() );
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void update(Address toUpdate, Address address) {
        if ( address == null ) {
            return;

599 GTO for sale only 599 produced.
The Ferrari 599 (internal code F141) is an Italian sports car produced by Ferrari. It was the brand's two-seat flagship, replacing the 575M Maranello in 2006 as a 2007 model, and was replaced for the 2013 model year by the F12 berlinetta.
Styled by Pininfarina under the direction of Ferrari's Frank Stephenson, the 599 GTB debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in February 2006. It is named for its total engine displacement (5999 cc), Gran Turismo Berlinetta nature, and the Fiorano Circuit test track used by Ferrari.
On 8 April 2010, Ferrari announced official details of the 599 GTO. The car is a road-going version of the 599XX and at the time Ferrari claimed that the 599 GTO was their fastest ever road car, able to lap the Fiorano test circuit in 1 minute 24 seconds, one second faster than the Ferrari Enzo. Its engine produces 670 PS (493 kW; 661 bhp) at 8250 rpm, with 620 N·m (460 lb·ft) of torque at 6500 rpm. Ferrari claims the 599 GTO can reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in under 3.3 seconds and has a top speed of over 335 km/h (208 mph).
At 1,605 kilograms (3,538 lb), the 599 GTO weighs almost 100 kg (220 lb) less than the standard GTB.
Production is limited to 599 cars. Of these, approximately 125 were produced for the United States market. Ferrari has given only two other models that used the GTO designation: the 1962 250 GTO and the 1984 288 GTO.
Many of the cutting-edge solutions sported by the 599 GTO are also the product of the Maranello engineers' experience in the development of the 599XX, the prototype experimental car of which, as its legendary moniker suggests, the 599 GTO is the road-homologated version.

Thanks to its 2012 acquisition of Polymita, Red Hat has added major functionality to its software suite for managing industry processes, making the package an appealing option in the enterprise market for BPM (business process management) software.
JBoss BPM Suite 6 integrates Polymita's BPM software with the company's own industry rules management software, Red Hat JBoss BRMS, and its open source Java-based BPM engine, jBPM.
This release "is a stately deal for Red Hat," said Carl Lehmann, a research manager covering BPM for 451 Research. Even when they were used together, BRMS and jBPM silent lacked a number of crucial features in terms of providing replete BPM capability, he said.
BPM organize a home in many enterprises because it allows industry managers to cobble together workflows without relying on the sometimes scarce resources of the IT department, Lehmann said. Companies such as IBM, Appian and OpenText's Metastorm total tender BPM suites.
JBoss BRMS provides a platform for defining industry rules so computers can do decisions based on these roles. For instance, an automobile insurance company may hold a set of rules for guiding how much to permeate customers, based on their age and nature of vehicle.
BRMS, and other industry rules management software, minimizes the requisite to encode industry rules directly into an application, which can breathe cumbersome to update should the rules change over time.
"Instead of coding everything in COBOL, which would breathe very arduous for users to understand what the industry rules are, you divide the rules from the application itself, and manage them independently of the application code," Simpson said.
The software acquired in the Polymita purchase brings a number of principal features to the new BPM Suite. For one, it offers a much more polished user interface, making it more easily usable for industry users.
The Polymita addition introduces more powerful BPM modeling capabilities for instance, which provide a graphical way for industry users to understand how the processes work. It also offers industry activity monitoring (BAM), which supplies a summary of processes in operation.
"Before Polymita, you could believe of jBPM was more Java developer workflow with BPM-ish capabilities. Now they got a replete BPM suite," said Pierre Fricke, Red Hat director of product marketing, integration and BPM. "It brings Red Hat on par with some of the more entrenched BPM suites."
Red Hat's BPM suite might even tender a number of capabilities that other packages lack.
Red Hat boasts of the software's aptitude to execute intricate event processing (CEP). CEP takes BRM a step further, allowing managers to define rules based on changing criteria. An automated stock trading application may utilize CEP to buy stock only when the cost of a stock falls beneath a unavoidable level, for instance. Few BPM suites hold built-in CEP capabilities, Simpson said.
For instance, Red Hat's BPM suite uses OptiPlanner, a powerful open source Java planning engine that can cipher the optimal utilize of limited resources. OptiPlanner can boost CEP capabilities.
"A lot of companies and users of this technology don't understand how to carry out simulation properly. Having a standard to fade against is valuable. Red Hat is early to hold this capability, compared to its rivals," Lehmann said.
Users of BRMS version 5 should hold runt difficulty upgrading to the new suite, thanks to a migration implement Red Hat has developed for the job.
Red Hat will continue to tender BRMS separately. Red Hat JBoss BRMS 6, which is based off the open source Drools BPM software, offers a drag and drop interface as well as graphical data and process modelers.
A champion subscription for the replete Red Hat JBoss BPM Suite starts at about US$40,000 per year and Red Hat BRMS 6 starts at about $20,00 per year. Pricing is based on the number of processor cores being used.
Although outstrip is silent the No. 1 industry intelligence (BI) implement preferred by industry users, Microsoft is not always viewed as a leading industry intelligence player in enterprise computing. This perception enables Microsoft's competitors to quickly dismiss its industry intelligence products as only suitable for diminutive and medium businesses (SMBs) and departmental computing. The new release of SQL Server, its ongoing working relationship with SAP, and products enjoy the recently announced Maestro analytics implement could, however, change this perspective.
Although the Windows platform is silent Microsoft's bread and butter, the company has a wide ambit of products for both industry intelligence and industry integration. It's an inviting exercise to piece these various products together to acquire a feel for what Microsoft has to offer, and this is the objective of this month's newsletter.
The pieces of the IT software technology stack they are interested in can breathe broken down into three main components: application progress and integration, industry intelligence and data warehousing, and erudition management.
The cornerstone of Microsoft's application progress and integration platform is of course the Windows operating system. Key developments here are champion for 64-bit processors (which will boost performance), and the new version of the operating system known as Longhorn. The press has been closely tracking Longhorn for some time, and so I will not fade into details here. Suffice to say, enjoy many new Window's releases, Longhorn's ship date keeps affecting out. The requisite to ameliorate Window's security seems to breathe a major factor in the delay.
Visual Studio is Microsoft's centerpiece for application development, and as you will see when I talk about SQL Server 2005, it is now also the main progress implement for both database and industry intelligence application development. For industry integration, the key product is Microsoft BizTalk server, which was upgraded terminal year. This product can breathe integrated with SQL Server to track BizTalk applications and processes, and bear industry performance management dashboards. These dashboards are developed using Analysis Services and Excel.
In the industry integration area, it is principal to note Microsoft's toil with SAP on the Mendocino project. The product will, to quote the press release, enable "information workers to utilize extended application menus and select process options and information in the SAP-specific smart panel, synchronize information between Microsoft Exchange Server and SAP, retrieve SAP information in Microsoft outstrip and submit data via Microsoft Office InfoPath forms." This project, coupled with the joint Microsoft/SAP Maestro industry intelligence project, which I will discuss in a moment, clearly shows that SAP and Microsoft are working together to provide solutions that can compete effectively against vendors such as Oracle.
For data warehousing and industry intelligence, the product they requisite to survey at is SQL Server. It's fanciful to believe it's been five years since Microsoft released a new version of SQL Server, and its competitors hold been quick to point this out. It is only unbiased to note, however, that some principal features hold been added to the product during this period; two principal ones being Notification Services and Reporting Services.
SQL Server 2005 was due to breathe shipped mid-year, but this has now been delayed until the stay of 2005. If Microsoft doesn't meet this date, then I guess the product will hold to breathe renamed SQL Server 2006! The company will deliver a third beta release of SQL Server 2005 during the summer. One principal feature in this beta will breathe an interactive report builder. This feature is based on technology acquired from ActiveViews. The report builder is designed for industry users, and offers a much easier interface than Reporting Services, which uses a Visual Studio paradigm for report development.
An integrated implement for database administration (SQL Server Management Studio) and development—supports SQL, XML, MDX and XML/A.
A completely rewritten ETL tool. The veteran DTS name has gone, and this feature is now called Integration Services.
Analysis Services improvements—new data mining algorithms, MDX stored procedures, served-based analytics and calculations, KPI builder, parallel processing, unified data model for multi-dimensional design, right-time industry intelligence, proactive caching, etc.
The large number of features coupled with their tense integration into the overall Microsoft environment demonstrates why this new release has taken so long to forward to the market.
Just as I was completing this article, Microsoft and SAP jointly announced a new industry intelligence product code named Maestro. Information about this product is sketchy, but it appears to breathe a much-improved version of Microsoft's industry Scorecard Solutions Accelerator, which currently is free. Maestro is a server-based industry performance management scorecard application. It helps organizations build, manage and utilize scorecards and key performance indicators (KPIs). It combines this functionality with reports, charting, graphs and analysis tools as access to unstructured data. One key aspect of the product is its aptitude to monitor the industry performance of back-end systems using ODBC, web services or an SAP .NET connector. The product provides APIs that enable their capabilities to breathe accessed and enhanced by ISVs and system integrators. Panaroma Software has already announced its intent to champion Maestro. This product is yet another illustration of the blossoming relationship between Microsoft and SAP.
The terminal piece in the product perplex is erudition management. One of the main Microsoft offerings here is the SharePoint Portal. This portal comes in two flavors: Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) and the SharePoint Server (SPS). WSS is integrated and shipped with Windows Server 2003 and Office. It is intended as a collaboration and information sharing implement for workgroups and project teams. SPS, on the other hand, is used for managing multiple WSS workgroups, and adds features enjoy personalization, search, content management and application integration. In its first release, SPS had limited scalability, but the new release shipped terminal year moved the architecture onto a SQL Server footing, and this has improved scalability.
There is no question that SharePoint is gaining market share, and this can only accelerate as more firms crawl to Windows Server 2003, start using WSS, and find they requisite SPS to manage the environment. At the recent DCI portal conference in Phoenix, over two-thirds of the several hundred organizations in the audience indicated they were using, or intended to use, SharePoint. One intuition was cost, but another key factor was the penetration of Microsoft Office in their organizations. The utilize of SharePoint technology in Microsoft's Commerce Server and in its Axapta, powerful Plains and Navision industry solutions offerings will add to the momentum of SharePoint.
Many companies hold added champion for Microsoft SharePoint to their product solutions. One inviting company here is Captaris, whose Teamplate and Workflow products provide SharePoint users with the aptitude to build, deploy and trigger workflows from within the SharePoint environment.
One issue for Microsoft with SharePoint is they hold a divide product (Content Management Server, or CMS) for web content management. Although there is some level of integration between CMS and SharePoint, the actuality of the two overlapping products confuses the marketplace. There are indications from Microsoft that they intend to combine these two products.
So what does total this mean? The brief overview above clearly shows that with the shipment of SQL Server 2005, products enjoy Maestro, and SQL Server's tense integration into the overall Windows platform that Microsoft has a compelling offering, and is very alive to to compete in the industry intelligence space. There is no question that this integrated product set will breathe very attractive to the SMB marketplace. However, it is also of benefit to the enterprise marketplace, not only because of the moment of Office and outstrip in these organizations, but also because companies are spending currently millions of dollars on industry intelligence software that their IT staff find intricate to install and integrate, and their LOB users find too difficult to use. The tense integration and cost of Microsoft's products are, therefore, attractive to these enterprises.
For industry intelligence users, however, this server cost comparison is not very useful, since these low-end product editions hold limited or no industry intelligence or data warehousing capabilities. When you bewitch industry intelligence into account the picture changes.
If I survey at published list prices for a server-based pricing model, the cost of SQL Server 2005 standard Edition is $6,000 per processor, while Enterprise Edition is $25,000 per processor. The standard Edition comes with a unavoidable amount of champion for ETL, OLAP and reporting, while the Enterprise Edition has replete BI/DW capabilities. If they compare this with the Oracle cost list on their website, the cost per processor of adding Oracle industry intelligence is $20,000, adding OLAP is $20,000 and adding data mining is $20,000. This combination also requires Oracle Enterprise Edition at $40,000 per processor. The total is $100,000 per processor, compared with $25,000 for SQL Server. Now of course, pricing models are intricate and there are other ways of pricing these options, and you should check things out for yourself. Total cost of ownership and product functionality are also major factors. However, even given this harsh comparison, you can see the cost benefits Microsoft has to offer.
It remains to breathe seen if the new Microsoft products can live up to expectations and whether they can expand their penetration into large enterprises. If not, SMBs depict 80 percent of the US GNP, and IDC estimates that these firms will spend $360 billion in IT in 2005. This is a large market potential for Microsoft, whose sales and marketing model fits very well into this space. Because of its potential, companies enjoy IBM, Oracle and SAP are putting more focus on the SMB marketplace, but Microsoft will breathe difficult to dislodge. The challenge for Microsoft at present is not the competition, but getting products out of the door.

BizTalk Server can assuage your customers acquire layers of disparate systems talking to each other.
One of your best customers calls you. His voice is frantic -- he just left a two-hour meeting with his boss who tasked him with integrating 14 disparate systems. Those systems are total key elements of his company's manufacturing and supply chain management processes, by the way. Unfortunately, zero them can communicate with each another. He needs a translator -- where's C-3PO when you requisite him?
Microsoft has stepped in to assuage your customers resolve these types of communication and integration issues. BizTalk Server -- currently in the 2004 edition with a 2006 edition released terminal month -- is a collection of services, utilities, tools and technologies intended to assuage your customers integrate divide systems. BizTalk uses XML-formatted documents as its primary communication vehicle. It can also transmogrify documents to any format a recipient requires.
The new BizTalk Server 2006 will ensue the 2004 version in the product's two-year upgrade cycle. BizTalk Server 2006 will feature installation wizards and one-click configuration for easier setup; new management and deployment features to improve efficiency; Business Activity Monitoring for real-time process views and alerts; faster application integration with new adapters; and champion for other Microsoft server software enjoy SQL Server 2005 and Visual Studio 2005.
Follow the MessageMessaging and orchestration are the two core components of BizTalk 2006. The messaging component moves the data it receives from an external source, such as a file or a Web application, through a receiving pipeline where it converts it to XML. From there, it flows on to the message database, which is called the MessageBox. BizTalk then routes the message to the orchestration component to carry out whatever action the industry process demands.
After that, BizTalk returns the data to the messaging database. From there, it goes to the forward pipeline. If needed, BizTalk will transmogrify it from XML back to its required format before it's delivered to an external destination enjoy a folder or FTP site. If the message requires no orchestration, BizTalk simply moves the data directly from the MessageBox to the forward pipeline.
Frequently, a BizTalk message will breathe routed for an application that uses a different credential or authorization paradigm. This may breathe internal, enjoy a legacy application fronted by an RACF identification and password, or external using a different industry ally authentication. Either way, the Enterprise single Sign-On service permits secure, transparent Windows account mapping to the required target name and password. The credentials are stored in a credential database and retrieved by a single Sign-On Server whenever your customer needs to access an application.
Adapter UpdatesBizTalk uses built-in "adapters" that provide the protocol and logic that let it forward and receive messages between external locations. The adapters that currently forward with BizTalk Server 2004 champion FTP, HTTP, SQL Server, SOAP, FILE, EDI and SMTP protocols. These let BizTalk automatically retrieve messages from FTP sites, Web applications, SQL Server databases and so on.
Microsoft is also enhancing some of the existing adapters for BizTalk Server 2006. The HTTP adapter will champion configurable failure options, so your customer will breathe able to specify what action will breathe taken should a problem occur during the receive pipeline or routing function. This is principal for development, debugging and production support. The updated SMTP adapter will accept HTML mail content along with the XML (message) payload.

The ATO has reviewed the impact of this decision on related advice and guidance products.
This Decision impact statement outlines the ATO's response to this case which concerns whether an individual was a 'resident' of Australia for the purposes of subsection 6(1) of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 (ITAA 1936) and the application of the 'tiebreaker' test in the double-tax agreement between Australia and Thailand[1] (the DTA).
Brief summary of facts
Mr Pike was born in 1972 in what became the Republic of Zimbabwe. While in Zimbabwe, Mr Pike developed a career in the tobacco industry and entered a long-standing de facto relationship with Ms Thornicroft. They have two sons, each born in Zimbabwe.
Ms Thornicroft accepted employment in Australia. Mr Pike, Ms Thornicroft and their sons arrived in Australia in March 2005. Mr Pike returned to Zimbabwe to complete his employment contract and dispose of or transport their assets but retained their house in Zimbabwe. He returned to Australia in September 2005.
Between 2005 and 2014, Mr Pike and Ms Thornicroft jointly rented a succession of three homes in Australia. They jointly purchased furniture and household appliances. They also jointly purchased motor vehicles for their use in Australia.
Mr Pike was unable to secure employment in Australia and in March 2006 became aware of work in Thailand. He travelled to Thailand that month and accepted a position.
Mr Pike worked in Thailand for the following eight years. He returned to his family in Australia each year but spent most of his time working and living in Thailand. Mr Pike always returned to the home in Australia where Ms Thornicroft and their sons were. They discussed moving the family to Thailand, but Ms Thornicroft did not agree.
Between 2006 and 2014, Mr Pike occupied rented properties in Thailand. He regarded them as his homes in Thailand. While in Thailand, Mr Pike joined and actively patronised golf, rugby and cricket clubs, and formed enduring friendships.
Mr Pike, Ms Thornicroft and their sons were granted permanent residency in Australia on 16 February 2009. In August 2010 Ms Thornicroft and their sons were granted Australian citizenship. Mr Pike made enquiries about obtaining Australian citizenship.
In September 2010, Mr Pike and Ms Thornicroft purchased vacant land in Australia and sold their house in Zimbabwe. Their intention was to build a family home and provide something tangible in Australia for their sons. Ultimately, they sold the land undeveloped in 2013.
Mr Pike's April 2013 application for Australian citizenship was refused. He made another application in October 2013 which was successful, and he became an Australian citizen in 2014.
In 2014, Mr Pike relocated to Tanzania for employment purposes. He lived in fully-furnished rented accommodation and joined golf and tennis clubs there. In early 2016, Mr Pike accepted a position in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.
Issues decided by the Court
At issue was whether Mr Pike, an individual taxpayer, was a 'resident' of Australia for the purposes of subsection 6(1) of the ITAA 1936 for the income years ended 30 June 2009 to 30 June 2016 and the application of the tiebreaker test in the DTA to the years ended 30 June 2009 to 30 June 2014.
The first-instance[2] judge (Logan J) held that Mr Pike was a resident of Australia under the ordinary concepts test for the income years ended 30 June 2009 to 30 June 2016, and that Mr Pike was a resident under the domicile test from April 2014. Regarding the DTA, Logan J held that Mr Pike had a permanent home in neither Australia nor Thailand, had a habitual abode in both, and his closer personal and economic relations were with Thailand, with the result that Mr Pike was a resident solely of Thailand for the purposes of the DTA.[3]
The Commissioner appealed the finding that Mr Pike was solely a resident of Thailand on the basis that his closer personal and economic relations were with Thailand. The Commissioner also appealed the finding that Mr Pike was not a resident of Australia under the domicile test before April 2014. Mr Pike cross-appealed the findings that he was a resident according to ordinary concepts and that he satisfied the domicile test from April 2014. Mr Pike also contended that Logan J erred in holding that he had a habitual abode in both Australia and Thailand.
The Full Federal Court on appeal dismissed both the appeal and cross-appeal.
Ordinary concepts test
Davies, White and Steward JJ agreed with the reasoning and conclusions of the first instance judge regarding the ordinary concepts test.
The first-instance judge placed significance on the finding that when Mr Pike returned to Australia, he returned not as a visitor but to resume residing in Australia as a husband (de facto) and father who resumed living at the family home.[4]
Domicile test
The first-instance judge found that from April 2014, Mr Pike satisfied the 'domicile' test of residency in subparagraph (a)(i) of the definition of 'resident or resident of Australia' in subsection 6(1) of the ITAA 1936. His Honour found that Mr Pike did not obtain an Australian domicile until then, and further found that Mr Pike's permanent place of abode was Australia as it was not possible to conclude that Mr Pike had definitely abandoned Australia.[5]
The Full Federal Court concluded it was unnecessary to deal with this ground.[6]
Permanent home
The first-instance judge concluded that Mr Pike did not have a permanent home in either Australia or Thailand. His Honour noted that in considering the concept of permanent home '... questions of fact and degree are necessary entailed'.[7] His Honour observed that even if he were wrong, there was nothing to distinguish the rented homes in Australia and Thailand such that one would be permanent and the other not.[8]
Habitual abode
Davies, White and Steward JJ agreed with the first-instance judge that Mr Pike had a habitual abode in both countries[9], and held that there was no basis for imputing the habitual abode of a person being the place where the individual has spent more days.[10]
The first-instance judge emphasised Mr Pike's life had two aspects; one aspect was working in Thailand and occupying premises there as a home, the other was living in Australia with his family for as long as possible.[11]
Personal and economic relations
The first-instance judge held that Mr Pike's personal relations were closer to Australia and that his economic relations were overwhelmingly closer to Thailand. His Honour then concluded that 'when considered conjunctively, Mr Pike's personal and economic relations were closer to Thailand than Australia, between 2009 and 2014'.[12]
Davies, White and Steward JJ observed that Article 4(3) of the DTA '... does not place greater weight on personal factors over economic factors' but:[13]
... poses a composite test and in each case it will be a matter of fact and degree as to whether a taxpayer's personal and economic relations, viewed as a whole, support ties closer to one contracting state over the other contracting state.
Their Honours were not persuaded that the conclusion was wrong. Their Honours held that:[14]
[a]n appeal court will not overturn the decision of the primary judge merely because it prefers an outcome different from that adopted by the primary judge where both outcomes are equally available or finely balanced.
ATO view of decision
The Commissioner agrees with the first-instance judge and the Full Federal Court's decision that Mr Pike was a resident under ordinary concepts.
On appeal, the Commissioner contested the first-instance judge's finding that Mr Pike acquired an Australian domicile only from the time he became an Australian citizen in April 2014 as it was only then that His Honour considered there was a requisite intention by Mr Pike to make Australia his home indefinitely. The Commissioner notes that His Honour observed that opinions could differ on this point.[15]This is a factual matter and the Commissioner does not consider it has any material implications for the domicile test.
The Commissioner agrees with the first-instance judge that Mr Pike's permanent place of abode was Australia from April 2014 as he had not definitely abandoned Australia. In the Commissioner's view, Mr Pike's permanent place of abode was Australia throughout the entire period.
The Commissioner notes and agrees with the first-instance judge's observations that a rented accommodation can constitute a permanent home within the meaning of the DTA.[16] On appeal, the Commissioner did not take issue with the finding that on these facts it was open to conclude that Mr Pike did not have a permanent home in either country. The Commissioner observes that whether Mr Pike had a permanent home in neither country or in both countries, this component of the tiebreaker test was not going to resolve the issue of Mr Pike's residency.
The Commissioner agrees with the findings of the first-instance judge and the Full Federal Court that Mr Pike had a habitual abode in both Thailand and Australia.[17]
On the ordinary meaning and consistent with the OECD commentary referred to by the first-instance judge[18], the Commissioner considers that determining whether a person has a habitual abode requires ascertaining the frequency, duration and regularity of stays that are part of the settled routine of the individual's life. The decisions of the first-instance judge and that of the appeal are consistent with the Commissioner's view that a person's habitual abode cannot be determined just by time spent in each country.[19]
In applying this aspect of the tiebreaker test, the Commissioner notes the OECD commentary that provides that '... considerations based on the personal acts of the individual must receive special attention... '.[20] The Commissioner's view is that where personal and economic factors lay with both countries, the factors of more significance to the taxpayer have greater weight.
The Commissioner accepts the Full Federal Court's decision to not overturn the decision of the first-instance judge.

Why does one states opinion matter more then the other? There are conservatives, moderates, and liberals in every single state. Individual voices are what matters, not living in the Midwest over the West Coast.
60 million people of our 318 million live in California & New York who are heavily Democratic. If we went by the popular vote, the Republican would never win. Just look at that sea of red on the electoral map and you'd say Trump won the popular vote too, but not even THAT much red could win him the popular vote. Kinda tells you how populated the Democratic states really are.
So bc there are more liberals in the US we have to have a Republican president?
Lol, ok. I see why you're Republican.
Tbh Obama only tried to solve what Bush has started in the middle east. I hope Trump could stop the war but it's easier said than done. If you suddenly stop fighting the terrorists there's no assurance that 9/11 wouldn't happen again.
PennyRae wrote: Not saying I agree with him, cause I do think Trump is racist. Just interesting to read.
Where do you live? Go to New York and California and then go to Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Iowa to see if there is a difference? Just because your big city doesn't make you any better than people living in heavily populated rural states. It just so happens to be, that the big cities are Democratic. I'm guessing you live in an Urban state?
Your argument still makes zero sense.
Get educated, sis. There's a reason more educated people are liberal.
Or it simply tells you that the majority of Americans didn't want him to be President.
The excuses these Republicans folks give about how fair the Electoral College is laughable. I guess it hurts to know the majority of Americans didn't vote for your candidate. Reminds me of the 2000 election.
It's a fact. The majority of Americans do NOT want a Republican President. They haven't want one since 1988.
If you believe so much in the Electoral College then you would agree that is also not fair how the Senate is elected. There are more red states than blue states so it's not fair how the red states are able to send more US Senators to Capitol Hill.
This is the reason why the Democrats have a hard time winning the Senate.
DarkXtina wrote: 30 of 50 states disagree with you ^^^^^^^ That's all that matters. You can gloat over your inflated votes from California and New York.
Typical Republican response. How are you liking all the protests from those inflated voters btw?
don't bother, sis. you can't argue with pure stupidity. just be glad you get it and more people get it than don't if we look at the number of votes.
Put it this way, if every state had the exact same amount of people living in it, you would have lost the popular vote by A LOT.
But there isn't. So your point is still mute.
Your too stupid to figure out there are more Democratic voters than Republican because the Democratic states have a larger population. How does this NOT register in your brain?
So, because there are more registered Democrats we should discard their votes to give a fair shot to the opposite party who are not able to bring more American citizens to register? Yeah, makes perfect sense and it's such a perfect example of Democracy.

I don't support that behavior, but there are some bad/mean/horrible people out there. You cant take a handful of bad apples and say the entire barrel is bad. I get offended when people keep saying that middle american's are stupid homophobe racists. Hey, I live in middle america and I'm the furthest thing from all those things. It's very hurtful. Its no different than ME calling people racist or gay slurs here.
and yet you support the man who supports these nutjobs. piss off. Xtina would be ashamed to have you as a fan.
2016 is a mess! the world is so fucked up. racist thugs are rejoicing everywhere they'd have their guns out shooting minorities :noway: white racist are saying trump will make america white again Jesus!
Again for the people at the back.
You gave the highest office to a man who's platform is based on white supremacy. You support a man that is supported by the KKK. You defend a man who mocked a disabled reporter. You stand with a man that says he wants to reban gay marriage. You protect a man that has mocked women. You rejoice in a man that has personally discriminated against people of colour. You gave the economy to a man who has declared bankruptcy more times than Toni Braxton. You ignore the actions of a man assembling a panel of climate change deniers, conversion therapy advocates, voter suppression legislatures, failed moguls, women abusers et al.
You are racist, you are sexist, you are homophobic, you are transphobic, you are separatists, you are fascists, you are bigots.
Racial and gay slurs were designed and created to cause distress to those that receive them. Your actions caused the same effect, in a much more profound and lasting way. Giving you the previous nouns and adjectives name you for what your actions show you to be. If they hurt tough, I personally don't like to be called by a shortened version of my given name. Guess what though, it's not a slur and it serves to name me just the same.
You stand with them, your actions prop them up. You have allowed for the next four years to be one of the worst for all marginalised group in America. Hell in the world. You can't use jargon or excuses to get away from your accountability. You are accountable. You are all the awful things we've asked you to please not be a week ago. To hell with your feelings today.
