You've got the custom-made guitar, the killer amp and the hottest pedals on the floor in front of you. You probably think you're all set to go, right? Maybe, maybe not. Strings can be taken for granted, but let's face it: without strings, that painstakingly assembled rig won't make any music.
In the early days of the electric guitar, strings were mostly an afterthought. Most musicians were content to work with what was available. The story is much different today, however. Strings are just as discussed and debated as nearly any other piece of gear out there. To help you navigate today's guitar string market and get the most tone out of your preferred set, TheToneKing.com has compiled the following guide to help you sort out the options and determine how these new features can help your tone quest.
For many years, electric guitarists had roughly three choices in wrapped string materials: nickel, nickel-plated steel and stainless steel. But today, musicians have more choices in what their strings are made of, and many of these have recently entered the market.
Most of the new materials that have hit the market have focused on magnetism. The magnetic properties of a string can differ depending on what materials it's made out of and ultimately effect the tonal characteristics and overall strength of the signal being fed to the amp. For instance, pure nickel strings sound warmer and less aggressive than the more typical nickel-plated steel strings that have become the standard for electric guitar. Nickel strings are magnetic, but it's magnetic properties aren't as strong without a good bit of steel added to the recipe. By itself, it won't "excite" the magnetic field created by the pickups in quite the same way as strings with higher steel content do.
Recently, many manufacturers began experimenting with different alloys to offer strings with increased volume, different tonal profiles and better resistance to aggressive playing and corrosion. Ernie Ball made a major splash among guitarists with it's Cobalt and M-Steel guitar string sets, which are made from an alloy that, by way of a stronger magnetic relationship with the pickups, is meant to offer great clarity, volume and power while also offering enhanced string life.
D'Addario recently rolled out it's NYXL series, built upon a "…newly engineered, break-resistant, high-carbon steel core and plain steel alloy.." and use a reformulated nickel-plating on the windings with improved magnetic response and strong mids, according to D'Addario's website.
When some of these strings first came out, a music store employee told me that he had heard that the companies making strings like this would, within a couple of years, basically cease their production of traditional strings and solely focus on making strings from these new materials. I wouldn't put any money on that prediction, but it will be interesting to see how much longevity these new materials have in the market.
We here at TheToneKing.com all know and love that new string feel, but sometimes it feels like only a handful of days before our strings already feel cruddy and worn out. String maintenance is generally pretty straightforward (even more so when you have the TTK-approved Roadie Rag), but for some of us it's hard to consistently clean and maintain our strings. Fortunately, many players received a lifeline in 1995: the birth of the coated string.
Elixir's famous coating was conceived during experiments using guitar strings as push-pull cables, when a couple of guitar players involved in the research realized they might be on to something. After some intensive experimentation, analysis and field testing, the grandaddy of coated guitar strings was born.
While Elixirs are still quite popular among coated string users, others have found the coating off-putting and prefer a more traditional feel to their strings. Everly's Cleartone line of strings hit the street in 2005, becoming the first company to manufacture coated strings sets to retain an uncoated feel. A favorite here at TheToneKing.com is definitely the Cleartone Monster Heavy series, which you've no doubt read about here . Other makers weren't far behind, with D'Addario, Ernie Ball and GHS all offering their own take on the coated string which, like Cleartone strings, don't have any discernible coating at all.
Coated strings are great if you have trouble staying in the habit of keeping your strings clean or go ages between string changes. Just keep in mind that you'll throw down a few extra bucks per set.
For the most part, there isn't a whole lot of variation in the way a modern wound guitar string is constructed. Manufacturers may use core wires of different shapes and sizes and different types of wraps (flatwound, half-round, roundwound), but overall the process is the same. But one manufacturer recently put a slight twist (see what I did there?) on one aspect of the string winding process.
Dean Markley introduced it's new Helix strings a couple of years back. Using what they described as a "hyper-elliptical winding technique", the Helix string series purports to create tighter gaps between the windings, effectively adding more overall mass to the string with increasing size or using a denser material. The greater mass is supposed to result in a bigger, fuller tone. The tighter winds also give the wound strings a smoother feel and prevent premature build up of gunk and grime between the windings.
Online reviews seem to be a bit mixed, but strings are a very personal thing and the Helix sets are certainly gaining a following among players, particularly those looking for an alternative to coated strings.
When I was a younger lad, I read about Stevie Ray Vaughn and how he regularly used .013 GHS Nickel Rocker sets on his famous vintage Stratocaster. I then wondered two things: how in the heck does he bend those things, and where in the heck does he buy sets like that? My local music stores didn't carry much beyond .009s or .010s, with the occasional .008 set available. Even electric .011 sets, which are commonplace now, were tough to find.
Today, players will find a huge variety of sets that cater to almost every need and style available. With many guitar players exploring new sonic ground through dropped and alternate tunings, string manufacturers now offer sets specifically tailored to deliver optimum performance for these new, aggressive styles. With more seven and eight-string guitars on the market, string makers are also ensuring that players have plenty of options to experiment with on extended range instruments. And for those of us with VERY specific string gauge needs, it's easier than ever to construct your own custom set with brand name single strings at a number of places online.
introduced it's environmentally friendly Corrosion Intercept Technology packaging. Not only did the new packaging cut down on the amount of material used in string packages, it sealed the strings in protective envelope to keep them as fresh as the day they came off the winder. It wasn't long before other manufacturers followed suit, and today some of the biggest string makers use packaging that keeps the strings as fresh as the day they came off of the winder, no matter how far they had to travel.
If you like to stockpile strings by buying them in bulk to save money, this innovation is an excellent step forward. It gives the string hoarder a little extra peace of mind that, if the strings have to sit for a little while, they'll still be ready to go when you finally pop open the package months (years?) down the road. I've certainly had no trouble with strings in environment-proof packaging that have sat in my gear closet for a year or more.
With all the innovations that have taken place in guitar strings, it's hard to imagine anything that's been overlooked. Do you think there has been? Is there something new you wish string manufacturers would bring to the players? And, do you think any of the things we've talked about here are overhyped or haven't delivered as promised? Coated strings not doing it for you? New alloys just a bunch of witchcraft? Let's have a conversation!

There are five essential tips to for buying a home in Calgary, and today we're on number four.
Check out the three previous steps here: Step 1, Step 2, Step 3.
Step four is the offer on the home.
A couple of things to note about making an offer on a single-family home or a condo - we want the offer to be as clean as possible. This means we don't want a lot of terms and conditions. That said, there are a couple standard terms that I always have in my purchase contracts with my clients, like a walkthrough 24 hours prior to possession, a home inspection at the buyer's expense performed by a licensed professional to the buyer's satisfaction, and other things depending on the state of the home. These can be things like carpet cleaning.
A couple of standard conditions would be financing, as well as the home inspection. We never recommend going in without any conditions whatsoever. If you have an agent recommending that you go in without a financing condition or make an offer without a home inspection condition, I'd suggest that you walk away immediately, regardless if you're competing for the property. You don't want to deny yourself the opportunity to get out of a contract if something happens along the process.
Finally, determine what the possession day will be. It's always negotiable. We want to be sure we're working with the seller to achieve a possession date that's going to work for everybody. Then there are other components to the contract like deposit and down payment, and then the offer itself.
Hopefully, this gives you a better picture of the offer! If you have any questions, make sure reach get in touch with us soon. We look forward to hearing from you.


Thanks to the ready availability of political news today, informed citizens can protect and promote their own interests and the public interest more effectively. Or can they? Murray Edelman argues against this conventional interpretation of politics, one that takes for granted that we live in a world of facts and that people react rationally to the facts they know. In doing so, he explores in detail the ways in which the conspicuous aspects of the political scene are interpretations that systematically buttress established inequalities and interpretations already dominant political ideologies.

Researchers Team Up to Identify Strategies for Attracting Investment for Small and Growing Businesses in Uganda and Nigeria
RTAC
Economic Growth and Trade
Through USAID's Research Technical Assistance Center (RTAC), a research team is collaborating to identify and advance effective investment solutions for Nigeria and Uganda's Small and Growing Businesses (SGBs)—commercially viable businesses with five to 250 employees seeking between $20,000 and $2 million in investment capital.
The research initiative is led by the Makerere University Business School Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Incubation Centre (MUBS EIIC) in Uganda in partnership with researchers from Temple University in the United States and a study team in Nigeria with researchers from the University of Jos, University of Ilorin, and the Federal University of Technology. This collaborative approach allows for the bridging of global perspectives and local investment insights to identify promising financial models that will work in real-world settings.
Addressing Barriers to Investment. SBGs face unique barriers when it comes accessing financial capital necessary for financing operations, introducing new products and technologies, and penetrating new markets. Currently, no financing models match the needs of SGBs because of their size. According to Collaborative for Frontier Finance, SGBs are often referred to as the "missing middle" because they are:
Too large for microfinance solutions.
Too small for private equity.
Too risky and lack enough collateral for commercial banks.
Lack the growth trajectory that venture capital seek.
And unlike microenterprises, which typically start small and stay that way, SGBs are designed to grow.
Helping Grow Emerging Economies. SGBs represent important contributors to growth in emerging economies. The Aspen Network of Development Entrepreneurs reports that SGBs can advance economic development by:
Increasing economic growth.
Improving access to goods and services.
Creating stronger supply chains.
Increasing equality by empowering marginalized groups.
The RTAC team is focusing on the specific financing needs of dynamic enterprises—a subset of SGBs that tend to be in established industries such as trade, manufacturing and retail and have proven business models (see Figure 1). This new research is designed to identify the types of investors best positioned to finance such businesses.
Figure 1: Enterprise Segmentation Framework – Four Families of Small and Growing Businesses. From the Summary Report "The Missing Middles: Segmenting Enterprises to Better Understand Their Financial Needs" A collaborative research partnership through USAID's Research Technical Assistance Center is identifying investors for Nigeria and Uganda's Small and Growing Business (SBGs) that can contribute to growth in emerging economies.
Creating Practical Recommendations to Spur Concrete Action. Findings generated by this study on what works and doesn't work in financing SGBs can help inform policymakers, investors, and other players about the most effective ways to advance dynamic enterprises. The study team plans to draw out practical recommendations from the research findings and package them into products that can help these decisionmakers put evidence into action. Facilitating a more effective flow of investment capital to the SGB market can make these enterprises vehicles for job creation and, ultimately, poverty alleviation.

A trade association for air travel companies that include airlines and aircraft manufacturers has a new, smaller size recommendation for carry-on bags, and eight international airlines have already said they will adopt the new regulation.
Travelers may have to buy new carry-on bags and re-think their packing strategy as a result.
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) announced the new size guidelines Tuesday. Their recommended best-size for carry-on bags is now 21.5 inches tall, 13.5 inches wide and 7.5 inches deep. That's 21 percent smaller than the current size permitted by most airlines.
The eight international airlines that jumped on board right away are Air China, Avianca, Azul, Cathay Pacific, China Southern, Emirates, Lufthansa and Qatar.

There's no denying that the margins on professional services is way better than the margin on hardware. Unfortunately, Cisco AEs and SEs are only paid on their hardware sales (as far as I know) so good luck if you're a services company trying to get Cisco support on a project that is mainly services based. That said, there are several companies I know of in the Cincinnati area who don't sell all that much hardware. They have a collaborative/referral relationship with another large VAR in town for transactional sales and they just focus on services delivery. I personally think this is throwing money out the door but the model works for them. At my company we provide both hardware and services.


- Ability to work with standard tools of the trade: Photoshop, Illustrator, XHTML, etc.
- Good command of English language is a must, some writing will be needed.

The company should ideally be located in New York or vicinity Portfolio of previous work and verifiable references required.

Q: Get newest SQL dump file I have following date and time saved as filenames:
/app/sql/20190101_2000.sql
        /20190115_1423.sql
        /20190222_1255.sql
        / etc...

Now I want to make a script to get me the newest file, based on its name. I can't go for the last edit or creation date, because sometimes a bunch of those files are imported and get the datetime from its import, not its creation.
The format is, as you can see YYYYMMDD_hhmm.sql
What I got so far (sorry, I am no expert in bash)
newestfile="000000000000"

for file in *.sql ; do
    filedate="${file%.sql}" # remove the '.sql'
    filedate="${filedate//_}" # remove the underscore, so I can compare

    if [[ "$filedate" -gt "$newestfile" ]] ; then
        newestfile="$filedate"
    fi
done

echo "highest file found: $newestfile"

The problem is, I cannot go further. I now want to import that "newest" file into mysql, but I cannot get the underscore back where it was. If I don't remove the underscore in the first place, I cannot compare with -gt.
My code would look like in the continuing kinda like this:
mysql -uuser -p1234 my_database < $newestfile

to import the sql dump.
Is there a better solution to this?

A: You can sort your files and get the first one
newestfile=$(ls /app/sql/$.sql | sort -r | head -n 1)

A: What about this:
ls -R *.sql | sort | tail -1

ls -R does an ls inside subdirectories.
sort does a sorting.
tail -1 takes the last one. As the result is sorted, the one with the highest date is shown.

WATCH: Georgia basketball reveal 'little things' that make Tom Crean special
Georgia senior point guard William "Turtle" Jackson helped key the exhibition win at UAB last Thursday
Photo courtesy UGA
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Georgia senior point guard William "Turtle" Jackson said the little things new coach Tom Crean is preaching could lead to big success for the Bulldogs.
"Coach Crean preaches details, the little things," Jackson said at SEC Tipoff 19, the league's annual media day event. "If he has an X on the court, and you're an inch from that X, he'll stop (practice), and you need to get right on that X, he's very detailed.
"That's what makes him so great, it's the little things that develop into the big things, and that's how we can win."
RELATED: 4 takeaways from Georgia basketball thriller at UAB
That's how Georgia beat UAB in both teams' exhibition opener on Thursday night at Bartow Arena, 56-54, with Crean making personnel and defensive set adjustments and the players responding for the come-from-behind win.
"He's always drawing up something and brewing up something," Bulldogs freshman JoJo Toppin said. "It's really comfortable when your coach is good with the clipboard."
Crean took Marquette to the Final Four (2003) and rebuilt Indiana into a Big Ten powerhouse that enjoyed a 10-week stint as the nation's No. 1-ranked team (2012-13).
Georgia was picked to finish 13th in the 14-team SEC on Wednesday, and the Bulldogs have made just one NCAA Tournament appearance in the past seven years, most recently in 2015. The last time Georgia advanced to the Sweet 16 was 1996.
But the exhibition win was promising, and it showed how much progress the Bulldogs have made in their quest to improve despite losing former SEC Player of the Year Yante Maten.
WATCH: Tom Crean proud UGA 'found a way to win' at UAB
Georgia senior post Derek Ogbeide, a 6-foot-9, 250-pounder, said the players are sold on Crean's attention to detail.
"He understands almost every inch of the floor can be valuable, and it can be used whether it's a scoring opportunity or a defensive opportunity," Ogbeide said. "It may be one more step, but it's a valuable step, and a step that may help us get to our goal.
"So only slightly different, but very impactful."
RELATED: Georgia players shrug off low media projections
Indeed, in Thursday night's one-possession game at UAB every step made the difference until the final buzzer.
"I tell the guys, momentum is always up for grabs, and the game is always giving you something, and it may not be what you wanted, or what you planned for, or what's pretty," Crean said. "But you've got to find it, and our guys figured that out tonight."

I've been an avid fan of Uber since I started using it three years ago. At that time, I was still working for a digital marketing agency and as an account manager, I always had a lot of meetings with clients—be it in Bonifacio Global City, Makati, Ortigas, and places as far as Quezon City and Alabang. I remember the struggle of hailing cabs or finding one that would agree to take me to wherever I needed to be. And then the technology of Uber arrived in the Philippines and since then, life has been so much easier. Not exaggerating, but I feel like the quality of my life improved immensely when Uber came along. I never have to worry about my safety, having to look for parking, or finding a way to get from point A to B. I can just sit back, relax, share stories with my Uber driver, or enjoy my quiet time and get a much-needed recharge from a long and tiring day at work.
Never have I encountered a negative experience with an Uber driver—be it here in the Philippines or when I was traveling all over the West Coast a few months ago. In fact, I have so many stories and memories to share about Uber drivers but one particular favorite is a female driver in Orlando who picked me up to bring me to Wrestlemania 33. She was probably in her 40's, and was sharing that Uber was just her way to get extra income while the kids were at school. She drove me from my Airbnb to Camping World Stadium, which was supposedly just 5 minutes away, but because of the traffic build up, the trip took longer than expected. I started telling her how worried I was about having a hard time booking a ride back to my Airbnb after Wrestlemania, because for sure demand was going to be high and surge would be crazy expensive. And for a girl like me travelling alone and being extra praning over all the possible scenarios that could happen, I started overthinking. My Uber driver must have felt my anxiety because then and there, she offered to give me her cellphone number and that if I had a hard time booking a ride after the show, I could just give her a call and she would come pick me up. It was honestly one of the sweetest things a stranger could have done for me.
And you know—these stories? You would think they're rare, but they actually happen frequently even here in the Philippines! We hear about drivers returning forgotten wallets and phones, drivers whose lives have improved since they joined Uber, drivers who are also students to help pay their tuition fees, etc. These are the kinds of stories you read online that warm the heart, and I really hope that Uber continues to support their drivers.
I'm also eager to know what your favorite Uber stories are! Please feel free to share them in the comments below.

Q: MySQL works in console but gives 500 internal server error when executed from PHP I have a small php file which just creates the tables in a database. I've spent days trying to debug it and it's left me stumped. It poops out with an ugly HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error): An unexpected condition was encountered while the server was attempting to fulfil the request. when I execute the queries. However, when I print out the queries and paste them into the database, it works fine.
I also noticed that "table already exists" would flash when entering the queries manually, but disappear and work quickly. Similar to this question Mysql 1050 Error "Table already exists" when in fact, it does not , but I've tried deleting and remaking the database without success.

FOLGER, J.
This is an action upon a judgment recovered by Henry W. Mandeville against Schuyler C. Reynolds, the defendant in this action, by the confession of the defendant, in the Supreme Court of this State, for $2,351, and docketed in Chemung county clerk's office, October 4, 1853.
The first question for our consideration arises upon the fact that the plaintiff was unable to produce, upon the trial, the judgment roll upon which the judgment was entered and docketed. It was incumbent upon him to do this if it was not lost or destroyed. If it was lost or destroyed he had the same right to give secondary evidence of the contents of it as in the case of any other instrument in writing incapable of production for those reasons; ( Renner v. P.D. and Co. Bk. of Col., 9 Wheat., 581; Leland v. Cameron, 31 N.Y., 115.) This was a paper which it was the duty of the county clerk to have and to keep on deposit, in his official possession, at his public office; (Code, §§ 281, 282.) In such case, if the paper is not found in the particular place provided for the deposit of it, the presumption is that it is lost or destroyed; ( Rex v. Stourbridge, 8 B. C., 96.)
In accordance with this rule John G. Copley, the county clerk of Chemung county, was called as a witness, and testified that he had made diligent search in the clerk's office, and had been unable to find the paper. This testimony warranted the presumption above stated, and made a case for the introduction of secondary evidence of the former existence of the paper and of its contents. Of which evidence it is to be said that, it must be the best that the party has in his power, while every case must depend in a great measure upon its own circumstances; (9 Wheat., supra.) The evidence which was given to prove the prior existence of the paper was this: A.F. Babcock, who was the county clerk of Chemung, for a period including the date of the docketing of the judgment, was shown a book, produced by Copley from the clerk's office; it was a book known in the clerk's office and to these two witnesses as "Judgment Book No. 3;" it was a book required by law to be kept by the clerk, among the records of the Supreme Court, for the entry of judgments, and in which every judgment should be entered, and should specify clearly the relief granted; (Code, §§ 279, 280.) In that book was entered, as we may infer in its due succession and place, the following: "Supreme Court. Henry W. Mandeville against Schuyler C. Reynolds. Judgment October 4th, 1853. On filing of this statement and confession, it is adjudged by the court that the plaintiff do recover against the defendant the sum of $2,346 damages and $5 costs, amounting in all to $2,351. October 4th, 1853." The witness Babcock testified that this order, so entered in this book, was in his handwriting, while he was clerk; that while he had no recollection of the case he should have made no entry without he had something to found it on — without something before him. This, indeed, would be a presumption of law, without his testimony, for the presumption is, that no official person, acting under oath of office, will do aught which it is against his official duty to do, or will omit to do aught which his official duty requires should be done; ( Lazier v. Westcott, 26 N.Y., 146; Bk. of U.S. v. Dandridge, 12 Wheat., 64.) There was, also, produced in evidence, by the witness Copley, the docket of judgments, a book required by law to be kept in the clerk's office (Code, § 282), on which it appeared as follows, as we may infer in its due succession and place: " Henry W. Mandeville against Schuyler C. Reynolds, for $2,351; Patterson Gillett attorneys; Chemung county, October 4th, 1853, one and a half, P.M.," and something more to be noticed hereafter. The plaintiff testified that the defendant told him that he was about to make a confession of judgment in favor of Henry W. Mandeville, on old matters; that there were other parties pressing him and he wanted to secure Henry W. first; that the defendant recognized the judgment as existing and valid several times afterwards, which is amply shown by other testimony; that the defendant, who it had been proven was before, at and after, the date of this judgment, a deputy to the county clerk, showed him the docket of this judgment and gave to witness a copy thereof. I think that this testimony is ample to show that there was at the date of the judgment some roll or statement sufficient to authorize the order in the judgment book and the entry upon the docket. Apart from the violent presumption that the clerk would not have done the official acts of entering the order and of docketing the judgment without the roll or statement warranting it, there is the anticipatory declaration of the defendant of his purpose to have a judgment against him in favor of Henry W., and his recognition of the regular and valid docketing of it. The presumption is ready and strong that he was aware of some formal act done or suffered by him, which gave the authority for the docketing. That formal act could be nothing but a confession by him, or service of process upon him. I think that the existence of some roll or statement is fully made out; I think, too, that it was a roll or statement made up upon a confession of judgment. Such was the effect of the declarations of the defendant, that he was "going to make a confession of judgment." Babcock, the ex-clerk, testifies that it must have been a confession, or he would not have entered it. Besides that, it is to be observed that the amount of costs was but five dollars, which was the full sum then allowed for obtaining a judgment by confession, and was less than that allowed by any other mode; (Code, § 384.) To be sure, there is no charge for disbursements, which that section also gave a right to. There are several things which occur to my mind why there were no disbursements to which the plaintiff's attorneys could make affidavit, but I will not now name them. I think it is fairly inferrable from the testimony that here was a roll or statement for the entry of a judgment on confession, and also, there is testimony that it was for money due. The defendant said, before making it, it was on old matters, and spoke of them as for debts which were then due and payable. When showing the judgment on the docket and giving a copy of it, he did not qualify its apparent effect, as of a judgment then at once collectible; and afterwards he effected an assignment or assignments of it, so as to render more convenient the payment of it; and to the last act of getting a satisfaction of it, treated it as due and enforceable against him.
I am aware that, in cases where the lost paper is not to be put in a class, for which the requirements of some statute has prescribed the substantial form and contents, there may be no satisfactory proof of contents, save by one who has possessed himself of the whole of the contents and is able to give them forth generally and substantially; ( Sizer v. Burt, 4 Denio, 428.) But in a case where the lost paper is of a kind which is usually drawn up in accordance with a statute, and usually follows a form devised for that kind of instrument — so much so that the form is put into type, and printed copies are furnished to attorneys — we may from the circumstances infer that the attorneys who had the drafting of it would not have made any but a paper in legal form and substance, and that those who had to base their official action upon it would not have proceeded by virtue of it had it not, to their judgment and scrutiny, been agreeable in its contents to the requirements of the statutes. So it was in the case of an execution lost in Leland v. Cameron ( 31 N.Y., 115). There the contents of the execution were held to be shown to the court on no more than the entry in the register of the attorney who, it was claimed, issued it, and upon the presumption that the sheriff who, upon the strength of that entry, was assumed to have received it, would not have executed the command of it to sell real estate, if it had not been in legal and proper form to have required of him, and to have justified him, to perform that act as one of official duty.
So I conclude that there was once filed in the Chemung county clerk's office a roll or statement which authorized the entry of that order in the judgment book, and the entry upon the docket of judgments of a judgment confessed by the defendant to Henry W. Mandeville, on the day and to the amount given in the docket and order.
It is claimed that the declarations of the defendant that there had been a judgment confessed, and that for a pre-existing debt, were not admissible as evidence on the question. The cases cited by the defendant are where the paper on which the action was based was still in existence and could have been produced. It may well be that in such case the admissions of the party to be charged by virtue of it will not be allowed in place of the paper itself. The other party does not bring the best evidence in his power. Here it was shown that the paper was lost or destroyed. Secondary evidence, evidence by parol, the best which the plaintiff could get, was admissible. The defendant might have been made to testify as to his knowledge derived as defendant and as deputy county clerk, as to the existence and contents of the lost instrument. Being a party to this action, proof of his declarations on this topic was as admissible as proof by his statements as a sworn witness. And here it is not amiss to notice that the defendant was not put upon the witness stand by his counsel — the defendant — who, of all, could have negatived, if negation had been truth, the testimony given as to the lost statement.
I have not referred yet to the testimony of Mr. Dailey, once the attorney of this plaintiff in a former action to enforce this judgment. He was shown certain letters written by him. They did contain statements which referred to the judgment roll in that judgment, and to the facts stated in it, and to the affidavit of the defendant, sworn to and attached to the roll, as being contradictory to statements about that time made by the defendant. Yet Mr. Dailey did not recollect that he had ever seen the roll. There was no objection made to Mr. Dailey being called as a witness, nor to the letters being shown to him, nor to the expressions used in them being read aloud in hearing of the court and jury. The witness was then asked if the representations contained in them were correct. To this objection was made and overruled, and exception taken. The answer was: I supposed them to be at the time. The letters were not used as evidence, otherwise than has been stated.
I think that we may infer that the letters were written at the time that Mr. Dailey was in charge of the action for the plaintiff, and was in treaty with the defendant, and at the time when he was acquiring, or had just acquired, knowledge of the facts in the case. The letters, then, fall into the category of memoranda made by a person at or near the time when he becomes possessed of the facts which they narrate. It was proper in such case, when he denied recollection of the roll or statement, to show the memoranda to him, and learn if they stimulated his recollection. They did not stimulate his recollection, and it was not wrong then to ask him if what they stated was correct. For in case they did state what was correct, and were made at or near the time when the material facts to which they relate occurred, or were brought positively to the knowledge of the witness, whose work the memoranda were, though he could not recollect the facts stated in them, it was permissible to read the letters themselves in evidence, so far as they related to the matters in issue; ( Halsey v. Sinsebaugh, 15 N.Y., 485; McCormick v. Penn. Cent. R.R. Co., 49 id., 303.) The question objected to went no further than to test the correctness of the statements made in the letters when written. As we have seen, it was not an objectionable question.
The plaintiff proved and read an unrecorded assignment from Henry W. Mandeville to him, of the judgment in suit. This assignment, by its terms, gave him the entire property in the judgment, and full control over it. It was without date. The testimony of the subscribing witness to the execution of it is to the effect that it was executed in 1854. The plaintiff then rested his case. The defendant then moved for a nonsuit; some of the questions raised thereby will be noticed further on. The motion being denied, the defendant proved and read an assignment from Henry W. to Elizabeth B. Mandeville, of this judgment in suit, dated 17th October, 1855, to which the plaintiff was a subscribing witness. The defendant showed a satisfaction-piece from this assignee, not dated, but the execution acknowledged 30th December, 1856. He then showed an execution issued to the sheriff of Chemung county, upon this judgment, signed by the attorneys who procured the judgment, dated February 6, 1867, with instruction to levy $2,351, and interest from 4th October, 1851, etc. The indorsements upon the execution were: "Filed February 19, 1857. Satisfied, February 19, 1857. Wm. M. Gregg, sheriff. Execution to Chemung county; sheriff of Chemung county will return this execution satisfied. Patterson Gillett, plaintiff's attorneys." The defendant then showed the same book of docket of judgment which had been produced by the plaintiff, and following the entry read therefrom by the plaintiff was this: " Fi. fa. returned satisfied, February 19, 1867." It is well in this conjunction to say that it is a conceded fact in the case, that nothing has ever been paid towards the satisfaction of the judgment. The defendant then read in evidence, from the entry in the order book of Chemung County Supreme Court clerk's office, an order, entitled in an action by the present plaintiff against the present defendant, dated 5th March, 1869, to the effect that upon filing a stipulation of the attorneys for the parties, and upon the consent of both attorneys, in open court, the action was dismissed, and the entry of satisfaction on the return of execution (just above given), was ratified and confirmed, and held valid and effectual.
On the state of facts as thus presented, the defendant moved again for a nonsuit, which was again refused.
There was, following this, evidence given on both sides, as to the assignment by Henry W. to Elizabeth B., his daughter; as to the issuing of the execution; and in relation to the conduct of the attorney and counsel for the plaintiff, in the action by the plaintiff against the defendant which was discontinued. The plaintiff's testimony went to show that the assignment to the daughter was made at the request of defendant, who drew the assignment, and merely as a convenience for all the parties, in case Reynolds was ever able to pay the execution; so that the daughter, being near at hand and while the plaintiff was in the southern States, might act as the agent of the plaintiff; to which arrangement Reynolds, the plaintiff in the judgment, and the daughter, were all assenting parties, all having knowledge of the prior assignment to the plaintiff; that there was no power or authority in the daughter to arrange the matter short of a payment of the judgment in full; that the plaintiff never authorized the issuing of the execution; that it and the indorsements upon it were in the defendant's handwriting, though the attorneys of record signed it; and that the daughter had never received any thing in payment on the judgment, though she had given a satisfaction-piece of it, at the defendant's entreaty.
The defendant then asked the court to direct a verdict for him, which was denied. The court held as matter of law, that the attorneys of record of the plaintiff, of record in the judgment, had not authority or right to direct the sheriff to return the execution satisfied; that the daughter had not authority or right to give satisfaction without payment in full; and that Dailey and Mr. Hart who acted as counsel had not power to compromise the judgment and release the defendant, unless authority was expressly given to them by the plaintiff.
In holding thus, I think that the court was right. An attorney is not authorized by his retainer to satisfy a judgment without payment, and if he does so, the satisfaction will be set aside; ( Beers v. Hendrickson, 45 N.Y., 665.) The authority of an attorney does not extend to a compromise or a release. He cannot settle a suit, and conclude his client in relation to the subject in litigation without consent of the latter; ( Barrett v. Third Av. R.R. Co., 45 N.Y., 628.) It is true, that an attorney's power exists for a time after the entry of the judgment; a year and a day to issue execution, and do all things necessary for the collection and satisfaction of the judgment ( Lusk v. Hastings, 1 Hill, 656); two years for the purpose of acknowledging satisfaction (2 R.S., 362, § 24); and he may, for the time his power continues, authorize the sheriff to depart from the regular and ordinary course of executing the execution; ( Corning v. Southland, 3 Hill, 552.) But in this case the time for the exercise of the power of the attorneys of record had long gone by, and the direction on the execution was not to collect it in any way, but to make an untrue return that it had been paid. That direction was without authority. So the act of Dailey as attorney, and of Hart of counsel, if the latter assented to it, were without authority. The fact that the compromise then made was put in the form of a stipulation, and that an order of court was entered as of course and by consent, gives it no greater sanctity or efficacy; ( Slocum v. Freeman, 46 How., 437.) And so with the satisfaction from the daughter to the defendant. It was known to him, as well as to her, that the judgment was owned by the plaintiff, and that she had no authority, as provisional assignee, to receive, or agree to receive, less than payment in full.
The court left to the jury the single question, whether Mr. Dailey, as attorney of the plaintiff, and Mr. Hart as his counsel, had power or authority given to them by him, to make a settlement, or such disposition of the case as they in fact made, and the court instructed the jury to inquire whether any such special or express power was given. This instruction was excepted to. But it was substantially an inquiry of fact, in full accord with the rule of law as just above laid down.
The defendant asked the court to charge that if the assignment from Henry W. to his daughter was made with the intention of passing to her the title to the judgment, with the consent and approval of the plaintiff, then her satisfaction of the judgment was valid and effectual, and a bar to this action. As an abstract proposition, there is no need to question at this time the soundness of this request. It was merely an abstract proposition. The testimony would not permit the jury so to find, nor the court to instruct them so to inquire. The decisive preponderance of the evidence concerning that assignment was, that the four actors in making it, knew that the plaintiff was already the absolute owner of the judgment by a full assignment of it, and that the assignment to the daughter was made for a special purpose, not to transfer the title to it, but to make her a temporary depositary of it, who could act with seeming authority, when the time came at which the defendant could pay the judgment. Doubtless, one more sensitive to the apparent fitness of things would have advised a power of attorney from the plaintiff to his sister. The defendant can take nothing from any blundering in that regard, for it was he who devised the plan and drew the paper.
The defendant made another request to charge which was denied, and which brings up this question: That the order of court entered upon the stipulation of Mr. Dailey, as plaintiff's attorney, and his consent in open court, was valid and effectual as a proceeding in that case, unless such order was first vacated or set aside, in a suit or proceeding direct to that end. By the motion for a nonsuit, the defendant also brings up the question whether the court erred in allowing the satisfaction, entered upon the docket of the judgment, to be attacked and impeached in a collateral action. Both of these points are addressed to one object. It is claimed that matters of record cannot be avoided by matter shown in a collateral action. It is not denied that the plaintiff might bring an action in equity to set aside the entry on the docket, and the order of the court confirmatory of it, for fraud in obtaining them, and that ceteris paribus the action might be successful.
It is claimed that in an action which is ostensibly based alone upon a judgment, and the defence to which is based upon a satisfaction of the judgment of record, and upon an order of court ratifying that satisfaction, there cannot be received in evidence and considered, replicatory matter showing that the entry upon the docket and the order, have been obtained by covin, collusion and imposition.
Before the system brought in by our Code of Procedure, it was a general rule that a judgment, and any other judicial record, was final and conclusive between parties and privies thereto. Even then, however, it was said that whenever an act was done fraudum legis, it could not be the basis of a suit in the courts of the country whose laws were attempted to be infringed; ( Jackson v. Jackson, 1 J.R., 424. But see Kinnier v. Kinnier, 45 N.Y., 542, somewhat questioning that case.) Fraud and imposition invalidate a judgment as they do all acts, and may be alleged, whenever the party seeks to avail himself of the results of his own fraudulent conduct by setting up the judgment the fruits of his fraud; (And see Borden v. Fitch, 15 J.R., 121.) It may be doubtful, too, whether the rule as to judgments of nonsuit, laid down in Homes v. Brown (16 How. [N.S.], 354-365) would not be applicable to the order by consent, relied upon by the defendant. It is quite certain, that so far as the sheriff's return of the execution satisfied is concerned, it does not stand, under the facts in the case, in the way of the suit of the plaintiff, or the issuing of a new execution by him; ( Codwise v. Field, 9 J.R., 263, and cases cited in note [A], especially 1 Cow., 46.) Judgment obtained by fraud upon a court, binds not such court or any other, and its nullity upon that ground though it has not been set aside or reversed, may be alleged in a collateral proceeding; ( Webster v. Reid, 11 How. [U.S.], 437; Cammell v. Newell, 3 H. N., 617-646; see 26 N.Y., supra.) The precedents in Chitty on Pleading, (vol. 3, pp. 1166 and 1184), are of replications, to pleas of judgment got, and of compromise by rule of court, that they were obtained by fraud, covin and collusion. (See, also, Shedden v. Patrick, 1 Macq. H. of. L. Cases, p .)
But the Code of Procedure has, by its enactments, taken away most, if not all, of the reasons of the rule which forbade the impeachment of a judgment collaterally. Now in an action at law, matter which was formerly of equitable cognizance solely, may be set up and given in evidence. As in ejectment, where the title of the plaintiff depends upon a deed or will, it may be averred and shown in defence, that it was obtained by fraud and undue influence. And so if in an action of ejectment, the defence rests upon a deed or will, the plaintiff can make proof that it was procured by fraud or other imposition; ( Phillips v. Gorham, 17 N.Y., 270.) If there was an action at law upon a judgment, could not the defendant answer in pleading, and show in proof, that it was procured by fraud and imposition? ( Pendleton v. Weed, 17 N.Y., 72.) So, then, if in action at law, on some cause of action to which a valid judgment would be a good defence, it were set up and proven, could not the plaintiff prove in reply, that it was got by the fraud or collusion of the defendant and others than the plaintiff? And collusion means, by consent or agreement of the parties to it; (45 N.Y., supra.) To which should be added, in knowledge and disregard of the rights of the party impeaching the result of it.
The court acts upon the matters involved in the action, now, in a double capacity, as a court of law, and one of equity. As a court of equity, it meets the question of the validity of the judgment, not as one of law, but as of equity, and takes hold of the facts offered to it, not as a collateral attack upon the judgment, but as a direct assault, which, by the changing nature of the issues in the progress of the suit and trial, has become the main question in the case and legitimately before it for trial. It would be quite an abnegation of the conjoint power and jurisdiction of the court, to proceed in the case as long as the issues were of legal cognizance, and as soon as they became of equitable cognizance, to turn the party over to another action, in, perchance, the same court, before the same judge, to have, in another trial, that matter proved and decided against the validity of the judgment, which, as the powers of the court are now in constant reciprocal activity, may as well be determined in one trial by the same tribunal. It is not merely that the same judges possess, in equal degrees, powers at law, and powers in equity. It is, that the distinction between actions at law and suits in equity, and the forms of such actions, are abolished; and that there is in this State but one form of action for the enforcement or protection of private rights, and the redress of private wrongs; (Code, § 669.) Nor does it differ that the matter of record brought into question is not a judgment, but an entry upon the docket thereof, or an order in a book in the clerk's office confirmatory of that entry. If, in the changes of the issues in a trial began as one at law, it become necessary for the just disposition of the rights of the litigants to inquire whether that entry or that order is valid, the court is as ready then, and as fully has the jurisdiction then, to investigate and determine as if the trial was laid aside, a new action brought and another trial had, burdened also with the issue of validity. The intent of the Code is clear, that all controversies respecting the matter involved in litigation, shall be determined in one action. Whether fraud or imposition, in the entry of a judicial matter of record, could, before that enactment, have been set up against it collaterally at law or not, it may now be alleged against it, as an equitable defence to defeat a recovery upon it; ( Dobson v. Pearce, 16 N.Y., 156.) Under the head of equitable defences are included all matters which would have before authorized an application to a Court of Chancery for relief against a legal liability, but which at law could not have been pleaded in bar. (Id.) That case continues to say: The question now is, ought the plaintiff to recover? and any thing which shows that he ought not, is available to the defendant, whether it was formerly of legal or equitable cognizance. E. converso, any thing which shows that he is entitled to recover, and that the defence of the defendant ought not to prevail, is available to the plaintiff, whether it was formerly of legal or equitable conizance. And, says DAVIES, C.J., in New York Central Insurance Company v. National Pro. Insurance Company ( 14 N.Y., 85): "It was always theoretically unreasonable, * * * that in one branch of the judiciary, the court should hold that the party prosecuted had no defence, and in another that the plaintiff had no right to recover. Now, when an action is prosecuted, we inquire whether, taking into consideration all the principles of law and equity bearing upon the case the plaintiff ought to recover." "It may be conceded," says COMSTOCK, J. (in 17 N.Y., supra), "that if a creditor having regularly entered one judgment, should intentionally procure another record to be signed and filed, with a view to procure a double satisfaction, or to gain some other advantage, * * * the proceeding would be altogether void. * * * The fraud would utterly vitiate that which, if innocently and inadvertently done, might be allowed to stand where justice plainly required it." That there should not be a second suit for relief when it can be obtained by a defence in the first, is emphatically stated in Savage v. Allen ( 54 N Y, 458); and see McHenry v. Hazard (45 id., 580-7).
I think it clear, that in many cases, the plaintiff may prove in the same action, in opposition to matter set up and proved by the defendant therein, that which before the Code he would have been obliged to have availed himself of by a suit in equity. Nor do I think that the phraseology of the Revised Statutes in relation to the docketing of judgments, and the entry of satisfaction, has the effect to create a difference. Those statutes (2 R.S., p. 362, § 26) say that the judgment shall be deemed satisfied to the amount returned collected on an execution; unless such return shall be vacated by the court. I do not think, that under the Code, this requires a vacatur to be sought by motion or action directly to that end, and to be actually entered upon the docket before it, or proof of matter warranting it, is available to the party suing upon the judgment. A judgment for a plaintiff, in an action upon a judgment, defended against upon the ground of an entry of satisfaction, and where the validity of the satisfaction is attacked by the plaintiff in reply, for covin or collusion or fraud, is as effectual a vacatur as if in a proceeding addressed directly to that end. As between plaintiff and defendant, in that action, it is sufficient, when established to the satisfaction of court and jury.
The defendant rested finally upon but one question of fact at the trial, which was correctly disposed of as appears above. So that the questions here, are those of law only. Upon them, I think that the learned judge at Circuit was correct.
The judgment should be affirmed.
All concur, except ALLEN, J., not voting; CHURCH, Ch. J. absent.

The future of our past
Women on the Waves, a P&O Heritage website exhibition
Having already increased their online offerings in recent years, many UK maritime museums have used their websites to keep the public engaged during the pandemic. Some exhibitions were never even intended for 'bricks and mortar' display, as with the online-only P&O Heritage exhibition that Dr Jo Stanley explores here. But while other museums may have a strong online presence, they are also now seeking safe ways to bring visitors back to their premises, as Sarah Robinson finds below
Women on the Waves
Exhibitions about seafaring women are rare. The first – and last – in the UK was in Southampton's old waterfront museum two decades ago. But on International Women's Day this year, P&O Heritage created the world's first online exhibition about women employed on ships: Women on the Waves – P&O's pioneering women seafarers past, present and future.
Senior curator Susie Cox explains: 'Our Women on the Waves exhibition began as a reaction to P&O's 1950s Men of the Ships recruitment campaign. We knew that women seafarers were few then, but the campaign's casual and callous disregard for women was deeply unsettling. To learn that women officers were forced to abandon careers they loved, at only 40, came as a real shock.'
So Ms Cox, with Beth Ellis, the curator of digital collections, set about rediscovering the Women of the Ships. 'Female seafarers are greatly underrepresented in our archive collections,' she notes. 'But we hope this exhibition will help redress this imbalance, as well as encourage other women to share their stories with us.'
How the Women on the Waves exhibition works
Women on the Waves is an online-only exhibition. A physical exhibition would have boards and glass display cases. Instead, this one has 23 'panels'. Each panel has accompanying 'treasure chests' containing 10-20 pictures. With a click of a mouse, those who want to delve deeper can find films, drawings, audio stories, quotes, and many photos.
Women on the Waves shows the story of UK women on the vast range of ships that at one time made up the once-mighty P&O. Shaw Savill, the British India Steam Navigation Company, the Orient Steam Navigation Company, and the New Zealand Shipping Company are among the employers.
The history of women who were paid to sail begins around 1821. Images of stewardesses on the Mongolia in 1903 give us a clue about the tiny minority of female employees tasked with looking after the lady passengers below decks.
From around 1910, the several thousand stewardesses were joined by a few women as kiosk attendants, nursing sisters, and typists. Steam queens entered long-distance liners and found laundering 'anything but regal'.
From Can Can to captain
The 1950s brought hairdressers galore, children's hostesses, and social hostesses. Women assistant pursers (WAPs) doubled as high-kicking entertainers and agony aunts. The 'Yes we can can' treasure chest features a film of WAP Gillian Angrave, whose memoir From Oceans to Embassies was reviewed in the June 2020 Nautilus Telegraph. In the film, she says that, unlike today's top-class cruise entertainers, 'We were IT!'
After the introduction of basic equality legislation in the UK of the early 1970s, everything changed. Women in significant numbers altered shipboard culture. Non-traditional jobs included 'lady Marconi men', 'she-captains' and female engineers.
Dr Daphne Conlon on the Uganda found that female surgeons were so rare, as late as 1975, that one passenger remarked: 'Thought you were just a myth'.
The exhibition's central image is a 1920s cartoon showing that ludicrous fantasy: a woman captain. As if! But the exhibition comes bang up with panels about the many women who've become navigators today. Captain Ade Puspitaloka, the first and only female tug master in Dubai's Jebel Ali Port, is one.
Bricks-and-mortar maritime museums have previously regretted that lack of evidence makes it hard to display diverse histories. Women on the Waves uses only one company's archives. Yet its richness proves that actually it's possible to steam towards staging successful exhibitions about seafaring women.
Women on the Waves is just one of many online exhibitions staged by P&O Heritage to share some of the collection's 35,000+ items. Exhibitions range from cartoons to containerisation, 'Ten-pound Poms' to lost letters.
What's there?
Celebrated historic sailing ship and fastest of its time. Now a well-known visitor attraction in Greenwich, London, with displays on its decks about its cargoes of tea and wool, and an insight into the lives of its crew members. Also features a famous collection of ships' figureheads in a sunken museum area below the hull.
When and how is it reopening?
The museum reopened on 18 July to members and 20 July to the general public – the first of the Royal Museums Greenwich to reopen. All visitors must book tickets online in advance and reserve their date and time in order to ensure social distancing. Other hygiene measures in place include hand sanitiser, card-only payments and suspension of audio guides and touch screens. Free child ticket with each adult ticket from 20 July to 31 August 2020.
The Cutty Sark website is strongly focused on bringing visitors back to the site, but there are some online facts and figures about the history of the vessel.
Scottish Maritime Museum
An important maritime collection housed mainly in the Scottish towns of Irvine and Dumbarton. Includes a variety of historic vessels, artefacts, art, personal items and a large collection of shipbuilding tools and machinery. The buildings and sites which the Scottish Maritime Museum occupies are themselves part of the heritage collection.
At the time of writing, there is currently no date for reopening.
The Scottish Maritime Museum has declared 'We are still open online', and efforts have been made to increase social media activity and enhance the website. The Collections section of the site is particularly worth a look for its Collection Blog, in which historians write about highlights of the museum such as the QE2 Starboard High Pressure Turbine Pattern, and delve into the photo archive to explore the construction of the coaster Lady Dorothy. Elsewhere, there are virtual tours of the museum's historic vessels MV Spartan and SY Carola.
SS Great Britain
World-renowned Isambard Kingdom Brunel steamship,now 'Bristol's number one attraction' in the docks where it was built. Visitors can walk the vessel's history in the Dockyard Museum and step onto the ship itself. 'Alive with sights, sounds and even smells, prepare to set sail on the most extraordinary time machine.' The site also houses the Brunel Institute, an academic archive which is unusual in that all its documents and artefacts are open to the public on request.
The museum reopened on 18 July, in time for the 50th anniversary celebrations of the vessel's return to Bristol. Visitors need to pre-book a timed admission slot, sanitise hands on arrival, maintain a safe distance between their bubble and others, and wear a face covering when inside the site's indoor spaces, including the ship itself.
In 'The Story', the website www.ssgreatbritain.org has decent online versions of the real-life displays at the museum, including a timeline of the vessel's history since its launch in 1843, a biography of its architect Isambard Kingdom Brunel, and the story of Captain John Gray – a long-serving master who was 'the most celebrated captain in the British merchant fleet'. There is also a fantastic searchable Global Stories database for looking up people connected with the SS Great Britain, and an interactive map showing where the vessel was on any given day in its history.
Titanic Belfast
Popular historical attraction in the Northern Ireland shipyard where the RMS Titanic was built. Tells the story of the vessel through interactive galleries, reconstructions, 'dark rides', a collection of artefacts and a chance to visit the Titanic's original tender SS Nomadic.
The museum reopens on 1 August 2020 with a range of social distancing and hygiene measures in place. All visitors must pre-book their tickets online and use contactless payments in the café and shop. Spacing and one-way systems are in place on the tour routes, and visitors must regularly wash their hands and use sanitiser. Masks are required in the shop, and the café is take-away only.
The attractive Titanic Belfast website is primarily about whetting visitors' appetites for the rides and tours on offer, but if you dig down into the Explore and Discover sections, you find some surprisingly detailed information about the museum's artefacts, and even some essays on maritime history. A hidden gem worth seeking out is On This Day, which lists historical events from the Belfast docks and the ships built there for any day of the year you enter.

C Major Completely Pure. Its character is: innocence, simplicity, navety, children's talk.
C Minor Declaration of love and at the same time the lament of unhappy love. All languishing, longing, sighing of the love-sick soul lies in this key.
Db Major A leering key, degenerating into grief and rapture. It cannot laugh, but it can smile; it cannot howl, but it can at least grimace its crying.—Consequently only unusual characters and feelings can be brought out in this key.
C# Minor Penitential lamentation, intimate conversation with God, the friend and help-meet of life; sighs of disappointed friendship and love lie in its radius.
D Major The key of triumph, of Hallejuahs, of war-cries, of victory-rejoicing. Thus, the inviting symphonies, the marches, holiday songs and heaven-rejoicing choruses are set in this key.
D Minor Melancholy womanliness, the spleen and humours brood.
Eb Major The key of love, of devotion, of intimate conversation with God.
D# Minor Feelings of the anxiety of the soul's deepest distress, of brooding despair, of blackest depresssion, of the most gloomy condition of the soul. Every fear, every hesitation of the shuddering heart, breathes out of horrible D# minor. If ghosts could speak, their speech would approximate this key.
E Major Noisy shouts of joy, laughing pleasure and not yet complete, full delight lies in E Major.
E minor Nave, womanly innocent declaration of love, lament without grumbling; sighs accompanied by few tears; this key speaks of the imminent hope of resolving in the pure happiness of C major. F Major Complaisance & Calm.
F Minor Deep depression, funereal lament, groans of misery and longing for the grave.
F# Major Triumph over difficulty, free sigh of relief utered when hurdles are surmounted; echo of a soul which has fiercely struggled and finally conquered lies in all uses of this key.
F# Minor A gloomy key: it tugs at passion as a dog biting a dress. Resentment and discontent are its language.
G Major Everything rustic, idyllic and lyrical, every calm and satisfied passion, every tender gratitude for true friendship and faithful love,—in a word every gentle and peaceful emotion of the heart is correctly expressed by this key.
G Minor Discontent, uneasiness, worry about a failed scheme; bad-tempered gnashing of teeth; in a word: resentment and dislike.
Ab Minor Grumbler, heart squeezed until it suffocates; wailing lament, difficult struggle; in a word, the color of this key is everything struggling with difficulty.
A Major This key includes declarations of innocent love, satisfaction with one's state of affairs; hope of seeing one's beloved again when parting; youthful cheerfulness and trust in God. A minor Pious womanliness and tenderness of character.
Bb minor A quaint creature, often dressed in the garment of night. It is somewhat surly and very seldom takes on a pleasant countenance. Mocking God and the world; discontented with itself and with everything; preparation for suicide sounds in this key.
B Major Strongly coloured, announcing wild passions, composed from the most glaring coulors. Anger, rage, jealousy, fury, despair and every burden of the heart lies in its sphere.
B Minor This is as it were the key of patience, of calm awaiting ones's fate and of submission to divine dispensation.

Eventhough the Selfie mania is taking Lebanon and Beirut by storm, Beirut is still far behind being ranked among the 100 Selfiest city in the world.
Makati City, known as the financial center of the Philippines, can now boast another distinction: It is the Selfie Capital of the World. An examination of hundreds of thousands of selfies—the low-fi, self-shot photographs that are intensily popular among younger social media users—suggests that the city, part of metropolitan Manila and home to 500,000 people, produces more selfies per capita than any other city in the world.
Doha, Abu Dhabi and Dubai were among the 100 Selfiest cities in the world.

ALBANY CVB GRANTS $50,500 TO COUNTY NON-PROFITS TO GROW TOURISM ECONOMY

Employees are constantly switched on—they're connected to every technology type—cloud, video, mobile, and social. Working with a constant flow of information and connection is at an all-time high, and employees in turn now expect their workplaces to be digital and equally connected.
The demand for innovative technology is largely driven by a growing expectation of flexibility and better work-life balance. However, according to recent research from MYOB, as referenced in Inside Small Business, employers are not yet stepping up to the plate when it comes to offering their employees flexibility at work.
The research revealed that only 54% of small and medium enterprises are offering flexible working arrangements, despite employees being more connected than ever. Interesting, given that Australian business owners rank flexibility at work a top priority, and it is often the reason they decide to start their own business in the first place. So what benefit does workplace flexibility bring for employees and their employers when implemented?
As outlined in the most recent research from The Australian Government's Workplace Gender Equality Agency, benefits to flexible working are significant. Improved output through quieter work spaces, greater client reach, better services due to a presence in more locations, and increased personal growth through self-management and communication with teams are just some.
A business which doesn't adapt to the changing lifestyle needs of its employees risks hurting its name among the employment market through poor word of mouth. Whether its flexible hours, compressed working weeks, telecommuting, part-time work or job sharing, flexibility has become an important criterion when job searching. From a business perspective, maintaining talented staff with the right skills is important. When a workplace offers flexible practices, employees feel valued and will often be more likely to stick around.
While investment in a vibrant office space and employee perks are important, the simplest way to promote flexibility in the workplace is through investing in innovative technology. Cloud-based video conferencing is one way to enable this. The availability of cloud video technology and other collaboration tools has meant traditional barriers are no longer blocking employees from working remotely and flexibly.
Another way for employees to ensure they're feeling prepared for flexible working is through proactive preparation. It can be as simple as sitting down with your teams and chatting through any potential challenges with the new arrangement, and then brainstorming ways to overcome these issues. Doing so will allow the team to identify and agree upon the channels of communication the team will use, as well as discuss potential scenarios of conflict between the work and the new arrangement.
Based upon in-depth research, it is clear that the benefits of flexible working outweigh the potential costs. Increased job satisfaction simply through knowing employees have the option to change their routine based on their needs means increased productivity and their loyalty to the organisation. A win-win for the business and employee.
