Bischoffen is a municipality in the Lahn-Dill-Kreis in Hesse, Germany.

Geography

Location
Bischoffen lies in the Lahn-Dill Highland at the Aar Dam (Aartalsperre). This dam holds back the river Aar, a tributary to the Dill, forming a 57-ha lake whose purpose is mainly flood control, although of course it also has its recreational uses.

Niederweidbach
Lying among the villages of Bischoffen (itself a constituent community, and indeed the community's namesake, but not the biggest centre therein), Oberweidbach, Roßbach, Mudersbach and Ahrdt, Niederweidbach is found right on the shore of the Aartalsee, the man-made lake created by the Aar Dam. It is also on the stretch of Federal Highway (Bundesstraße) B 255 between Herborn and Gladenbach.

q.v. Niederweidbach's history

Neighbouring communities
Bischoffen borders in the north on the community of Bad Endbach and the town of Gladenbach, in the east on the community of Lohra (all three in Marburg-Biedenkopf), in the southeast on the community of Biebertal (Gießen district), in the south on the community of Hohenahr, in the southwest on the community of Mittenaar, and in the west on the community of Siegbach (all three in the Lahn-Dill-Kreis).

Constituent communities
The community consists of the centres of Bischoffen, Niederweidbach, Oberweidbach, Roßbach and Wilsbach.

Niederweidbach is Bischoffen's biggest community, and its administrative seat.

History
Niederweidbach and Oberweidbach were mentioned in the Fulda Monastery's Codex Eberhardi quite early on, in 802. The other communities' first documentary mentions followed lin the late 13th or early 14th century. The villages belonged to various ecclesiastical and secular rulers, but a great deal of the current municipal area came to be part of the County of Solms as time went by, through estate division, pledges and feuds.

Among the four local powers, namely the Landgraves of Hesse, the Electors of Mainz, the Free Imperial City of Wetzlar and the Counts of Nassau, the political climate was seldom calm. In the Thirty Years' War, the inhabitants suffered neediness, hardship and destruction. The villages only slowly recovered from all this.

Today's Bischoffen was, in the Middle Ages, split into the two municipalities of Oberbischoffen and Niederbischoffen (Ober– = Upper; Nieder– = Lower). Oberbischoffen died out during the Plague and other epidemics and was forsaken. Niederbischoffen was then, in later documents, called simply Bischoffen. Bischoffen earned itself special importance with the building of the Cologne-Leipzig commercial road, along whose route the Aar-Salzböde railway and Federal Highway (Bundesstraße) B 255 were later built.

With the onset of the 19th century, the area was once again divided: Bischoffen, Niederweidbach and Roßbach passed to the Grand Duchy of Hesse, and Ahrdt and Mudersbach to the Kingdom of Prussia. Up until municipal reform in 1972, the community's outlying centres belonged to the Biedenkopf district, but given their location and economic orientation, they were assigned to the new Lahn-Dill-Kreis.

Niederweidbach's history
After its first documentary mention in the Codex Eberhardi in 802 as "Weidenbach", the village was divided into two, Oberweidbach and Niederweidbach, in the 14th century, much as had been done with neighbouring Bischoffen. In 1432, the villages were granted to the House of Solms-Hohensolms, and passed to the Count of Solms-Hohensolms in 1606. As of 1628, they belonged to the Landgraviate of Hesse-Darmstadt.

Politics

Municipal council

The municipal elections on 26 March 2006 yielded the following results:

Note: FWG is a citizens' coalition.

Coat of arms
Bischoffen's civic coat of arms might heraldically be described thus: A bend wavy argent, above, in azure the crook of a bishop's crozier sinister Or, below, in vert an inverted scallop shell Or.

The wavy bend stands for the river Aar, which flows through the community. The crook stands for the community's name (from German Bischof – bishop). The scallop shell stands for Saint James the Great, Niederweidbach's patron saint, whose traditional symbol is this shell.

Sightseeing

Marienkirche
The wall tower in Niederweidbach, built out of parts of the town wall, itself built in the 11th century, was converted into a chapel – as Niederweidbach belonged to Altenkirchen Parish – by the Reverend Hartong, and further expanded in 1498 on the west side with a proper church nave.

Literature
 802–2002 – Weidbach 1200 Jahre – Ein Heimatbuch, published by the Interessensgemeinschaft Weidbacher Vereine e.V. in 2002 for Niederweidbach's and Oberweidbach's 1200-year jubilee.

The North Western Waters Advisory Council (NWWAC) is a representative and legitimate EU fisheries stakeholder body which is legally recognised as an organisation aiming an European Interest. It is established in Ireland and it produces regular advice on its own initiative or at request of the European Commission and the concerned Member States on all relevant matters related to fisheries management in the EC offshore waters within the EEZ of Ireland, part of United Kingdom and France (ICES areas Vb, VIa and VII).
Essentially, the NWWAC is an open forum for dialogue between the fishing sector (both industrial and small scale fleets, with representatives of catching and processing sectors and trade unions) and other groups of interest, including environmental NGOs, consumers representatives, recreational anglers and civil society.
The European Commission has recently acknowledged that the current Advisory Councils have been one of the main achievements of the Common Fisheries Policy in 2002, allowing better access to information and helping to improve understanding of decision making at European level. In addition, the ACs have also contributed to create regional networks where experiences and ideas circulate more readily across stakeholders and public in general across the Atlantic Arc.
The principal aim of the NWWAC is to bring together stakeholders from across Europe, to advise the Commission on matters of fisheries management in respect of the North Western Waters - ICES areas V (EC waters), VI, VII.
The NWWAC is one of the existing seven Advisory Councils, advising on, the Baltic Sea; Mediterranean Sea; North Sea; South-western waters; Pelagic stocks; High seas/long distant water fleets.
Regional Advisory Councils were first proposed during the review of the Common Fisheries Policy in 2002 as a method of ensuring greater stakeholder involvement in the policy making processes of fisheries management.
The North Western Waters Regional Advisory Council (NWWRAC) was established in September 2005 in accordance with Council Decision 2004/585/EC, which set out a common framework for Regional Advisory Councils.
With the entry into force of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013, on the Common Fisheries Policy, since the 1st of January 2014 the Regional Advisory Councils changed their name to Advisory Councils (ACs) to encomprise all topics such as Aquaculture or Markets.
Olivier Le Nezet is the current Honorary President and Chairman of the General Assembly of the North Western Waters Advisory Council. Mr Le Nezet is the President of the CRPMEM (Comité Régional des Pêches Maritimes et des Élevages Marins) de Bretagne, who succeeded Marc Ghiglia, General Director of the Union des Armateurs à la Pêche de France.
BIM, Ireland's Seafood Development Agency, is the current host of the Secretariat and is based in Dún Laoghaire, Co. Dublin, Ireland.


Conscious Failure: Using an Experimental Outlook with Writing.
You can see from the accompanying image that failure is viewed traditionally as being unsuccessful, unfulfilling, and a lack of completion. It is time of emotional sorrow, of darkness, and of uncertainty. While it can be all that, it doesn't have to be.
No timeframes — Work from a mindset of just writing with no deadlines. Enjoy the ride and do not impose the shackles of scarcity on yourself.
No rules — Follow only minimum rules and guidelines. Encourage the mind to wander into flights of the imagination.
Take breaks when needed — Periodic breaks can provide insights that may otherwise be overlooked.
Put it aside — When it is done, put the writing aside. Revisit it after a period of time when you can truly look at it with fresh eyes and an open mind.
Try something different — Purposely try something different this time with your writing. Perhaps working in a park, creating in another language, and having a character very unlike those you typically do. etc.
Enjoy the "time off" — Periods like this are rare. So enjoy the dance of those moments.
If you take every work as a teacher and the outcome as a lesson to learn then no matter what happens, it cannot be viewed as a failure. By deliberately choosing times of no ground underneath, then you and your writing will both benefit from the experiences.
From the Grave: Please Don't Publish Until I'm Gone 100 Years.
A fear of criticism on release.
The work is incomplete or not satisfactory.
The work covers a controversial subject.
A promise to keep family members happy.
The work is an indictment of a real situation and real names are mentioned or are very thinly veiled.
So a growing "post-bucket" collection may result. But this is accompanied by a set of risks. If this is a digital set, then there is the ongoing concern over a malicious hacker retrieving and publishing it. Or if it is a physical work, there is a need to hide it in a secure or an unobvious place. However, every time that you use the surreptitious repository, there is a good possibility of your "literary stash" being detected.
To relieve the tension, some authors may release a few of these works under pseudonyms. But there is a high risk of doing this in the information age because eventually the truth will come out.
And as a last resort, perhaps never write these stories down. Instead, keep it part of your "mental inventory." And when you emit your breath, the secret will die quietly with you.
How will you choose to handle this need? The choices are yours alone and need to be made carefully. Good luck with this effort!

Featured in the program is Israeli pianist Tomer Gewirtzman, joining the BCSO in a performance of the powerful Piano Concerto No. 1 in D minor by Johannes Brahms.
The BCSO also performs Maurice Ravel's sensual and transporting Suite No. 2 from the ballet Daphnis and Chloe, composed on commission from Sergei Diaghilev. Premiering in Paris in 1912, the ballet is based on a Classical Greek tale recounting the love of the shepherd Daphnis and the maiden Chloe. Ravel considered the ballet score to be his most important creation, describing it as "a great choreographic symphony" designed as a "vast musical fresco." The Suite No. 2 opens with the well-known portrayal of daybreak, followed by an exquisite dance for the two lovers as they pantomime the story of Pan and his beloved Syrinx. The suite concludes with a tumultuous bacchanal, celebrating the love that Daphnis and Chloe have found for each other. Ravel's score exhibits great passion throughout, the music infused with extraordinarily lush harmonies and demonstrating the composer's masterful handling of orchestration.
Tomar Gewirtzman, piano
Hailed by The Washington Post as an artist of "formidable virtuosity and stylistic sensitivity," Israeli pianist Tomer Gewirtzman has impressed audiences around the world. He has performed recitals in London in Steinway Hall and in Paris in the Salle Cortot of the École Normale. He has appeared as soloist with orchestras throughout Israel—including the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, Israel Symphony Orchestra, Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra, and the Israeli Chamber Orchestra—as well as numerous regional orchestras in the United States.
Mr. Gewirtzman made his New York recital debut on the Young Concert Artists Series and performed a D.C. recital on the YCA and Washington Performing Arts Series. He also appeared at the Buffalo Chamber Music Society, Harvard Musical Association, and as soloist with the Charlottesville Symphony. He has performed at music festivals throughout the United States and in Europe.
At the 2015 Young Concert Artists International Auditions, he was awarded First Prize in addition to five performance prizes. He has been awarded First Prize in many major piano competitions in the United States, Israel, Poland and Greece.
Mr. Gewirtzman served in the Israeli Defense Forces from 2008 to 2011, in the "Outstanding Musician" program, where he combined regular military service with extensive university music studies. He earned his Master's degree at the Juilliard School, working with Maestro Sergei Babayan, where he received the prestigious Kovner Fellowship award. He continues his studies at Juilliard in the Artist Diploma program.

According to an online survey of almost 30,000 people across 22 countries, 56% of people internationally live with at least one pet, with dogs proving to be the most popular choice.
Almost 80% of the population surveyed in Argentina and Mexico own a pet, followed by Brazil where 75% of people own a pet, Russia where 73% do and the USA where 70% own a pet. The smallest percentage came from Asia where in South Korea just 31% of people live with a pet.
When it comes to who owns what, women are definitely the more prominent dog-lovers across the globe with women owning more dogs (and cats) than men. Men however prefer fish with more of them owning a pet fish compared to women worldwide.
Where do the world's dog-lovers live?
Latin America! Dogs are the most popular pet for Argentineans and Mexicans where two-thirds of the population surveyed owned a pet dog. Cats on the other hand are more popular in Russia and France where over half of the surveyed pet owners have a cat.
Australia's national average for pet ownership is on par when compared to the rest of the world. Dogs come in at number one with 39% of pet owners with a dog, followed by cats (29%), fish (13%) and birds (10%).

Developer Adam Wolkoff buys
Larry Silverstein's $9M Park Ave condo
Tony pad took a $4.3M haircut off original asking price
Jan.January 23, 2019 12:00 PM

What goes around, comes around. At least in the world of big name developers.
The buyer of Larry Silverstein's condo at 500 Park Avenue has been revealed. The apartment sold for $9.3 to Adam Wolkoff, son of 5Pointz and Heartland developer Jerry Wolkoff, according to documents filed today.
News broke last week that Silverstein found a buyer for his Park Avenue home, and documents filed today show his wife Klara Silverstein sold the apartment below its original ask. After 33 years living at the building, the couple listed full-floor, five-bedroom condo unit for $13.9 million in December 2017.
The couple is moving to 30 Park Place, a 82-floor Robert A.M. Stern-designed condo building developed by his firm Silverstein Properties, just blocks away from his downtown office.
Adam Wolkoff – who runs his family's real estate firm alongside his father, Jerry Wolkoff – signed the deed papers for the 500 Park unit.
The buyer's broker was Arlene Reed of Warburg.
Jerry Wolkoff is known for the controversial 5Pointz development in Long Island City, and his 15 years of work on the massive Heartland Town Square in Suffolk County.
Silverstein, the chairman of Silverstein Properties, has been involved in numerous high-profile developments, including at the World Trade Center site, where his firm developed 1 World Trade Center and 7 World Trade Center. He was also involved in a high-profile lawsuit over insurance tied to the Twin Towers.
Correction: A prior version of this report said Larry Silverstein was the president and CEO of Silverstein Properties. He is actually the chairman.

Marking 10 years of community engagement at Peninsula Dental School
Since 2008, hundreds of students and members of the local community have benefited from the dental school's pioneering community engagement model.
In 2006, Professor Liz Kay came to the University of Plymouth as the inaugural Dean of the Peninsula Dental School - the first dental school to be established in the UK for 40 years.
Building on her research, she introduced a new model of dental education, focused on primary care, clinician-led teaching, and a desire to benefit the local community.
She wanted to give students hands-on experience helping the people overcome oral health inequality, so in 2008 she set up a community engagement team - which has grown from two staff to a team helping dozens of local organisations.
Read more about Professor Liz Kay's academic journey in University magazine Invenite, and see some of the projects and achievements from the last 10 years below.
Professor Christopher Tredwin, Head of Peninsula Dental School, said:
"Community engagement is really the jewel in the crown of Peninsula Dental School. Not only have we produced superb dentists who are empathetic to their patients, and while doing that addressed oral health inequalities, but our methods have also been adopted by other dental schools in the UK and further afield.
"My thanks go to our students, my colleagues and our partners in the profession and the community for making these 10 years of community engagement so spectacularly successful."

Wendy Smith and Nicola Brown (pictured here with Director of Social Engagement and Community Based Dentistry, Rob Witton) were the first two people in the Community Engagement team at Peninsula Dental School.
Having grown from a team of two to a team of eight, and transitioned into new charity Well Connected to help advance community relations, both have worked on a huge range of projects - and Wendy's work led to her being awarded an MBE in 2018 New Year's Honours. Wendy said:
"Our first role was to recruit patients for the Devonport Dental Education Facility, where University students would treat real-life patients under the supervision of clinicians. We have since gone on to create new and exciting community based projects which raise the profile of oral health, as well as giving students the chance to go into the community and help people overcome oral health inequality."
Peninsula Dental Social Enterprise (PDSE)
PDSE is a Community Interest Company (CIC) committed to improving oral health across the South West. They: run Dental Education Facilities in Plymouth, Truro and Exeter, where students from the University treat NHS patients; improve awareness of oral health in the wider community, focusing on groups such as schoolchildren, the elderly, parents, those with specific conditions, people with special needs substance abusers, the homeless, prisoners and; ensure access to dental care for all, but especially to those groups who may feel excluded from mainstream dentistry.
Well Connected works with Peninsula Dental School and Peninsula Dental Social Enterprise to deliver community engagement projects:
It's the community engagement partner of the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, and helps disadvantaged groups to access services and adopt positive lifestyles.
Visit the Well Connected website
Dental Therapy and Hygiene student Georgia Snape and her peers worked with Nomony Children's Centre as part of their year 2 Inter Professional Engagement module.
Encouraging children to brush for two minutes, Georgia wrote up a dental version of 'The Wheels on the Bus', which has been published as part of an article for the British Dental Journal.

Flash on Windows Phone 7 confirmed
Adobe has confirmed that Flash Player 10.1 is coming to Windows Phone 7, but there's confirmation that the OS won't be coming to the Windows Mobile-toting HTC HD2
Flora Graham
March 16, 2010 4:30 AM PDT
Hold on to your YouTube -- Adobe has confirmed that Flash Player 10.1 will come to the mobile version of Internet Explorer that's on Windows Phone 7 Series.
It won't be available on the first WinPhev phones, but Adobe's Mike Chambers wrote on his blog that Adobe and Microsoft are busy as beavers making it happen.
"I don't have an ETA or other specifics right now," said Chambers, "but it is something that both Adobe and Microsoft are working closely together on."
Android lovers can also expect to see Flash Player 10.1, starting with the Motorola Milestone and the Google Nexus One, according to the same post. HTC Hero owners will have to stick with Flash Lite because of its weaker hardware specs.
We advise you wait for official confirmation outside the forums, however, before investing your hard-earned cash in a Milestone or Nexus One based on its future support for Flash.
But all this prompts the question -- how long till we get mobile versions of Flash ad blockers?
Update: A previous version of this story reported a rumour that the first Flash Player 10.1 phone running Windows Phone 7 would be the HTC HD2, which runs Windows Mobile 6.5 and desperately needs an upgrade. Engadget has had confirmation from Microsoft that the HD2 will not be upgraded to Windows Phone 7, as the handset doesn't comply with the operating system's hardware specifications.

HENGELO, Netherlands, Jan. 14, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Dutch energy storage and battery company Lithium Werks B.V. (www.lithiumwerks.com) has appointed T. Joseph (Joe) Fisher III as chairman of the board.
Fisher, who has been the company's chief executive since he co-founded the company in 2017, is a 30-year veteran in the battery industry.
He will now also step into the role as chairman of Lithium Werks, while Kees Koolen will focus on the development of a separate battery company. Koolen remains a shareholder and supporter of Lithium Werks, and the two companies will continue to cooperate closely going forward.
"We are committed to playing a leading role in society's energy transition to renewables such as solar and wind and our strategy remains unchanged," Fisher said.
"As energy storage is an essential part of the energy transition, in Europe and across the world, we expect demand for lithium-ion batteries to grow tenfold over the next decade alone. Our industry must step up to the challenge and construct enough factories to deliver capacity in thousands of GWh over the next three decades." said Fisher.
Lithium Werks, which already has three smaller battery facilities in China and has operations across three continents, plans to build multiple giga factories. The factories and related facilities will produce battery cells and systems for lithium-ion batteries to be used for energy storage and smart grids, as well as for large transportation equipment and industrial applications.
Lithium Werks is a fast-growing global lithium-ion battery company, headquartered in Hengelo, the Netherlands, with production facilities in China and offices and warehousing facilities in the Netherlands, the US, the UK and Norway. Lithium Werks provides cells, modules and energy management systems to industrial, transportation, marine and clean energy storage markets.

I know I'm doing something wrong at somewhere but I couldn't figure out what it is and where, for two days.

A: As Freddy points in a comment, ensure you don't have unapplied changes by restarting postfix:
service postfix restart

If the issue persists, add a row in /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 mail.domainaddress.com

Also ensure you can resolve hostnames
nslookup google.com

otherwise, fix it starting from what you have in your network configuration file.
Ensure that your firewall isn't blocking localhost:25
telent localhost 25

should not return timeout/refused, otherwise
iptables -I INPUT 1 -s 127.0.0.1 -d 127.0.0.1 -p tcp --dport 25 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I OUTPUT 1 -s 127.0.0.1 -d 127.0.0.1 -p tcp --sport 25 -j ACCEPT

Those rules will allow the connection despite anything you might have in your firewall configuration, but that's just a bad workaround. It might skip any security relying on your firewall logs, for instance.
If the firewall is the case, avoid permanently saving those rules, and start a full review of your iptables ruleset instead.
Reading your logs there is no doubt that postfix is running. Other users coming into this issue might have different/no logs and same symptoms and thus, if they didn't restart postfix yet, it might be worth for them before editing their iptables ruleset to run also:
service postfix status

and if it's not running
service postfix start

A: Can it be that port 25 is blocked preventing connections to external smtps (probably by your ISP)? I guess telnet mail.domainaddress.com 25 also fails? Can you try that?

New filler techniques may help postpone face-lift operations
A shallowing or hollowing appearance of the areas around the cheeks, eyes and temples are some of the most prominent signs of aging. While a variety of procedures are available to counteract these developments, opinions differ substantially on the overall best method of achieving lasting, natural looking results. Doctors often use fillers, fat injections, implants and the like to fill out thinning areas around the face, but results vary as fillers and implants tend to shift and settle in ways that can look less than natural.
According to a recent PRWeb report, a Doctor Val Lambros, M.D., believes he may have come across a dependable solution for delivering natural looking, properly distributed fillers in traditionally difficult to treat areas of the face such as the temples. A study he authored earlier this year outlines a new approach in which highly diluted hyaluronic acid is used to fill facial zones affected by visible signs of aging.
The study discusses the treatment's application to forty patients over a period of a year and a half, and claims the results in each case bore a smooth, natural look that left patients happily surprised. The smooth, regular results, according to Dr. Lambros, are due to an even distribution of the filler material effected by a steady absorption of the saline element in his injection.
Lambros said that his patients were highly satisfied with the treatment, and that not one of them requested a reversal of the filler treatment.
"This is a minimally-invasive procedure that can make a big difference in the patient's efforts to minimize the appearance of aging," said Lambros.
While conventional face-lifts still deliver the most radical, long lasting results, plastic surgeons like Lambros often suggest less invasive, simpler procedures like the use of fillers for the reduction of fine lines, wrinkles and hollow, thinning areas of the face.
Filler treatments are incredibly cost effective compared to face-lifts, they are often reversible, and they require virtually no recovery time. The effects of many fillers last anywhere from about one to three years, which makes them a great short-term to mid-term solution.
"In my practice," says Lambros, "I emphasize giving my patients a natural-looking result that — in some cases — may call for fillers as opposed to surgery."


Stretching: It's an important part of any fitness routine, research shows. Obvs, you might think. But really, it's important to take stretching (before and after a workout) seriously. Stretching is what helps your muscles stay flexible and strong and keeps the range of motion in your joints moving the way it should. Ditch stretching and you risk tighter and weaker muscles, researchers say, which can not only be uncomfortable, but make you less able to use your muscles to the best of your ability (e.g., losing an intense arm wrestling challenge in front of all your friends—womp).
To help your body recover after your workout, personal trainer Eliza helps you stretch out each muscle (including chest, tricep, groin, and hamstring) with these static stretches. Hold each for 30–60 seconds.

Everton – Crystal Palace Prediction (2018-10-21)
in Predictions, Premier League
Everton – Crystal Palace : Preview & Prediction
Everton made a good start to the 2018-2019 season with only two defeats against West Ham (1-3) and Arsenal (2-0) after 8 championship days. The Toffees are settled in the soft belly of the classification with two big performances during the last two days. Marco Silva's team trailed Fulham (3-0) at home and scored a great win at Leicester City (2-1) on Oct. 6. Eliminated League Cup by Southampton on October 2,Everton intends to achieve the pass of three in the Premier League, which would be a first this season. Will Crystal Palace stop the Toffees from taking the 3 points of the win? The Eagles, 14th overall, are not at their best today as they have lost two games in the last two days at Bournemouth (2-1) and WXolverhampton (0-1) at Selhurst Park. In search of a little more than 4 years of success on the Toffees, the Eagles do not seem ready to return to victory at Goodison Park.
Everton has not lost to Crystal Palace since 21 September 2014.
Everton has 2 hits in their last 3 games.
Everton won 3-1 at Goodison Park last season.
Crystal Palace is on a running series of 2 Premier League defeats.
The Toffees remain on 2 successes in the English championship, ongoing series.
The win should smile to Everton unbeaten since 2014 against Crystal Palace.

An injured worker in Columbus, Ohio may be eligible for disability benefits through the workers' compensation state insurance fund if he or she sustains a permanent injury, but is still able to work. All Permanent Partial Disability consultations are free. Call today to set an appointment with one of the experienced PPD attorneys in Columbus, Ohio at Malek & Malek.
Disability payments for residual impairments are based on a predetermined formula for specific injuries and are paid in one lump sum.
Disability payments, administered by the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation, are known as C-92 awards.
The formula for determining the amount of the percentage of permanent partial disability award (%PP) is based on the predetermined rate for the year that you sustained your injury or disability. For rate information for the year of your injury, please check the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation website.
For a disability injury that occurred before Aug. 25, 2006 an injured worker must wait until 40 weeks have elapsed since either the date compensation was last paid or the date of the injury, whichever is later. The state will then decide if a residual impairment exists and the extent it impacts the affected body part. For an injury that occurred after Aug. 25, 2006, one must only wait 26 weeks.
purposes it's as if the limb was amputated or severed, despite the limb still being attached, then that person would probably be entitled to a loss of use of his or her arm, which would entitle the individual to a significant award of compensation. The same is true for other body parts, including legs, feet, toes, hands, fingers, hearing, eyesight, and facial disfigurement to a lesser degree (i.e. a facial disfigurement award is capped at $10,000, as mandated by the Ohio General Assembly).
If you have further questions about permanent partial disability benefits feel free to call the Columbus permanent partial disability lawyers at Malek & Malek.

Q: How to get attribute value of XML element with saxonc.PySaxonProcessor I am analyzing the use of Saxon XSLT processing in Python 3.8 with Saxon-C-1.2.0 in Windows 10.
I can succesfully run script SaxonHEC.1.2.0.\Saxon.C.API\python-saxon**saxon_example.py**.
The last print line shows the result of getting an attribute value. I think there is an error in that code.
My question: how to get the value of an XML attribute?
with saxonc.PySaxonProcessor(license=False) as proc:
   # ... code left out form saxon_example.py

   xml2 = """\
<out>
  <person att1='value1' att2='value2'>text1</person>
  <person>text2</person>
  <person>text3</person>
</out>
"""
   node2 = proc.parse_xml(xml_text=xml2)
   outNode = node2.children
   children = outNode[0].children

   attrs = children[1].attributes
   if len(attrs) == 2:
       print('node.children[1].attributes[1].string_value =', attrs[1].string_value)
       print('node.children[1].attributes[1]              =', attrs[1])
       print('node.children[1].attributes[1].__str__      =', attrs[1].__str__())
       print('node.children[1].attributes[1].__repr__     =', attrs[1].__repr__())
       print('node.children[1].attributes[1].text         =', attrs[1].text)

On the commandline I get:
node.children[1].attributes[1].string_value = att2="value2"
node.children[1].attributes[1]              = att2="value2"
node.children[1].attributes[1].__str__      = att2="value2"
node.children[1].attributes[1].__repr__     = att2="value2"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test-app.py", line 77, in <module>
    print('node.children[1].attributes[1].text         =', attrs[1].text)
AttributeError: 'saxonc.PyXdmNode' object has no attribute 'text'

while I expect to see only "value2" without the attribute name.

A: As mentioned in the comment see link to the bug issue where we mention the fix to the bug: The string_value property should be calling the underlying C++ method getStringValue. Fix available in the next maintenance release.
Another workaround is to use the get_attribute_value function if you know the names of the attributes.


The dollar fell versus its major peers on Friday, as investors grew increasingly confident that the U.S. Federal Reserve may hit the pause button on monetary tightening this year.
Fed Vice Chair Richard Clarida also struck a dovish tone, underscoring the central bank's willingness to remain patient on the issue of raising rates.
"The market has almost priced in that the Fed will not be hiking rates any further. To get the dollar weaker, market now has to expect a rate cut...I don't see that happening," said Sim Moh Siong, currency strategist at Bank of Singapore.
Sentiment was still slightly cautious in Asian trade on a lack of concrete details from the United States and China on any progress in their trade dispute after a three-day meeting in Beijing. The two sides are more than halfway through a 90-day truce agreed by U.S. President Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping.
Traders still remain optimistic that a trade deal between the world's largest economies will eventually materialise. U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said late on Thursday that Chinese Vice Premier Liu He will "most likely" visit Washington later in January for trade talks.
Bank of Singapore's Sim added that currencies such as the Australian dollar AUD= , a gauge of risk appetite, and the New Zealand dollar NZD= , are likely to see further gains if a U.S.-Sino trade deal is reached.
The Aussie dollar was last at $0.7201, gaining 0.2 percent versus the greenback, while the kiwi firmed 0.44 percent to $0.6808.
The dollar also fell 0.47 percent versus the offshore yuan CNH= to 6.7602. The yuan is now at its strongest since late July last year.
The dollar index .DXY fell by 0.17 percent to 95.37. The index has fallen around 2.2 percent since mid-December on expectations that a slowdown in growth, both in the United States as well as globally, will restrict the Fed from raising rates in 2019.
In 2018, the greenback outperformed its peers, gaining 4.3 percent as the Fed hiked rates four times on the back of a strong domestic economy, falling unemployment and rising wage pressures. This has caused traders to turn bearish on the dollar.
However, few analysts still forecast a rising dollar for this year.
"The Fed Funds Rate is no longer accommodative but neutral, and more importantly, positive in real terms. In line with a more patient Fed, the U.S. dollar' rise will become gentler," said Philip Wee, currency strategist at DBS in a note.
The safe-haven yen JPY= strengthened 0.1 percent to 108.25 per dollar, reflecting investors' cautious wait-and-see mode.
The euro EUR= gained 0.2 percent to $1.1519, after losing 0.4 percent of its value in the previous session. The single currency has been pressured by a slew of weaker-than-expected economic data, especially from France and Germany.
The European Central Bank is widely expected to remain accommodative in 2019, which should keep a lid on the single currency.
Elsewhere, sterling GBP= traded marginally firmer, fetching $1.2752 in early Asian trade with traders focused on the progress of Brexit.
British Prime Minister Theresa May must win a vote in parliament to get her Brexit deal approved or risk seeing Britain's exit from the European Union descend into chaos. The vote is now due to take place on Jan. 15. The numbers are not in May's favour and her chances of winning the vote look extremely slim.
The dollar weakened versus the Canadian dollar CAD= by 0.17 percent to C$1.3211. The greenback has lost 3.25 percent against the loonie over the last six sessions, with the commodity-linked currency bolstered by a rebound in oil prices.

On the 19th of November 2016, 15 participants gathered together at the memorial site of the Battle of the Boyne.
We gathered in the morning, and first we walked through the visitor center and watched history unfold through a digital explanation of the Battle of the Boyne. In one room there was a large picture of a peace agreement being signed between the Irish Prime Minister and the leader of the Norther Irish First Minister at the site in 2007. We took a picture of a Catholic Irish member shaking hands with an English Protestant member in front of the picture, representing the unity of these two different religious and political groups.
After the visitor center, we walked the fields to the place where we could overlook the battlefield.

Q: How to use a common GeoWebCache for multiple Geoservers? I had multiple Geoserver's (5) in different systems one is back up for another with same port and same layers are published . I know that every Geoserver is integrated with Geowebcache. Now I want to turn off individual GeoWebCache on every system and to install a new GeoWebCache  for all geoserver's on any system.How to do?

A: Just set up GWC on a machine and point it to the loadbalancer that controls access to your GeoServers. Then each tile request will be sent to the next available GeoServer in exactly the same way as your users are currently.
You should probably read this series of posts before going much further.

A: Yes, you can use one GeoWebCache installation which caches map layers from several GeoServer instances. I assume you read the documentation at: http://geowebcache.org/docs/1.5.1/introduction/whichgwc.html ?
If you use the standalone version, you have to define all layers manually whereas an integrated version takes automatically all defined layers from GeoServer. To define your layers, locate the file geowebcache.xml and add a new entry for each layer. Here an example from a custom layer in my GeoWebCache:
<wmsLayer>
  <name>census2005:literacy_rate_pct</name>
    <metaInformation>
      <title>Nicer title for Image States</title>
      <description>This is a description. Fascinating.</description>
    </metaInformation>
    <mimeFormats>
      <string>image/jpeg</string>
      <string>image/png</string>
      <string>image/png8</string>
    </mimeFormats>
    <gridSubsets>
      <gridSubset>
        <gridSetName>EPSG:900913</gridSetName>
        <extent>
          <coords>
            <double>10018754.167</double>
            <double>181.378</double>
            <double>12801601.740</double>
            <double>3482189.084</double>
          </coords>
        </extent>
      </gridSubset>
    </gridSubsets>
    <expireCacheList>
      <expirationRule minZoom="0" expiration="60" />
    </expireCacheList>
    <expireClientsList>
      <expirationRule minZoom="0" expiration="500" />
    </expireClientsList>
    <wmsUrl>
      <string>/charts/wms</string>
    </wmsUrl>
    <wmsLayers>census2005:literacy_rate_pct</wmsLayers>
    <transparent>true</transparent>
    <bgColor>0xFFFFFF</bgColor>
  </wmsLayer>
</layers>

In this case my custom-made web map server runs at the same host, but this can be any standard compatible web map server as GeoServer. See also the documentation for an explanation of all options: http://geowebcache.org/docs/1.5.1/configuration/layers/index.html

A: Ciao,
if you use a standalone GeoWebCache you can have a single tile layer backe by multiple WMS. Check this post for more information:
http://www.geo-solutions.it/blog/tips-tricks-geowebcache-tweaks-checklist/
If you use integrated GeoWebCache (integrated with GeoServer) then you may need to enable clustered diskquota support. Check the links below:

Twenty-five lions rescued from small traveling circuses in Bolivia landed safely at Denver International Airport on Wednesday and were ferried on trailers to their new home at The Wild Animal Sanctuary near Keenesburg.
U.S. agriculture, fish & wildlife and customs officials inspected the Bolivian cargo plane and the crated animals after the aircraft was pushed by a tug into a bay of United Airlines' huge hangar at DIA's north end around 4:30 p.m.
It took about three and a half hours to unload the lions from the plane, stage them on the hangar floor for additional inspections and then load them on the trailers for the short trip to the Keenesburg sanctuary.
Armed Denver police stood guard as the 25 big cats in their steel-mesh crates were lifted by forklift into the trailers. The operation went off without a problem and the lions arrived at the sanctuary about 9:15 p.m.
The lions were rescued and brought to Colorado by Animal Defenders International in a campaign called Operation Lion Ark and as they were loaded on the trailers, their roars echoed off the walls and ceiling of the cavernous hangar.
About 100 ADI and sanctuary workers and volunteers, media representatives and law enforcement officials met the Bolivian plane. A National Geographic film crew captured the event for a television show it is doing on the animal sanctuary.
"This has been a dream for so long for us, to empty a whole country of its circus animals," said ADI president Jan Creamer, who had accompanied the lions on the airlift from Bolivia. "The lions are going into a life that they have never dreamed of."
"We wanted a place where we could bring all the lions together; we didn't want them split up," she said, noting that the Wild Animal Sanctuary provided the "perfect choice" for ADI because her organization and sanctuary director Pat Craig and his staff share the same philosophy when it comes to providing a new life for rescued animals.
"We could not have done it without the support of Jorja Fox and Bob Barker," Creamer added, referring to two Hollywood personalities who have been actively working with ADI.
Barker, former host of "The Price is Right" game show and a longtime animal-rights activist, contributed $2 million to ADI for its animal rescue work and his funding helped construct the new fabric-covered lion house that covers nearly 10 acres at the sanctuary. The Bolivian lions will live in eight enclosures in that structure until they are acclimated to Colorado weather. Then, within a few months, the plan is to release the lions into four 20-acre open-air habitats that surround the lion house.
In addition to the new Latin American lions, the sanctuary has about 270 other wild animals, including 90 bears, 70 tigers, 15 other lions, leopards, lynx, mountain lions, wolves and several more species.
Wednesday afternoon, Barker said he found it "mind-boggling" that ADI had managed to champion legislation making circus animals illegal in Bolivia and then was able to complete such a massive rescue of animals. Barker said he expects to make another contribution to fund future ADI campaigns.
"My only hope is that this will open the door to putting circuses out of business, as far as animals are concerned, in other countries," Barker said.
Fox, of the TV drama "CSI," said she joined ADI as an ambassador because the organization has a "hands on, roll up your sleeves, get dirty approach to animal-rescue work" that appealed to her.
Many of the animals have lived their entire lives in cages on the back of trucks.
In their new 80-acre home, Fox said they will be roaming on "79.9 more acres than they ever had."
Alexandra Cardenas, global campaigns manager for ADI, which has offices in Los Angeles, London and Bogota, said the organization now will begin to focus on passing laws in Peru and Brazil similar to the one in Bolivia.
"We're having a very big campaign in Peru," she said.
The animals spent nine hours and ten minutes in flight, but California-based veterinarian Mel Richardson, who flew with them as an ADI supporter, said the animals appeared to have weathered the travel well.
Crates with lions named Chitara, Hercules, Bam Bam, Temuco and Pancho were lined up on the hangar floor for photographers to feast on while the rest of the lions were loaded first on the trailers. The quintet roared and shook their cages just enough to give the media what they needed.
Richardson said many of the 25 lions were "basically starving" when they were rescued from the traveling circuses. In one particularly egregious case, eight lions were confined to one small cage, he said.
Circus lions suffer physical and psychological abuse, Richardson said, and "the same thing is going on in our country. At least Bolivia did something about it."
David Kopp Valdivia, a 30-year-old biologist with the biodiversity and protected areas directorate of Bolivia's environment ministry, had flown to Colorado a few days before the lion airlift to inspect the Keenesburg sanctuary for his agency before his superiors signed final papers for the transfer of the lions.
"I was impressed with the space, the animal hospital and the nutrition programs," Kopp Valdivia said of the sanctuary, and on Sunday he called Bolivia and conveyed his favorable report to his boss.
"We have a revolutionary country in many ways," Kopp Valdivia added. "Animal care and animal rights are one of our revolutionary ways of thinking."
Commandante Miguel Antelo Gomez, captain of the Transportes Aéreos Bolivianos DC-10-30 that brought the lions to Denver said "for me, it's been the most unusual cargo I've had."
More typically, TAB hauls asparagus from Peru and flowers from Colombia to Miami and the carrier might take spare parts and oil production equipment back, he said.

What's The Big Deal About Identity Theft?
"We are writing because of an incident that has resulted in the loss of information relating to your IBM employment, as we wanted to inform you about what happened and explain steps IBM is taking to help protect you."
This letter was startling because technically, I never worked for IBM. During the late 1980's, I'd worked for a company, Lotus Development Corporation, which IBM later bought during the mid 1990's after I'd left Lotus. So, before reading the letter I was wondering why IBM's Vice President of Human Resources had written to me.
"Recently, data tapes were lost while being transported by a vendor. Those tapes contained primarily archival IBM employment-related information, including Social Security numbers."
Yikes! The letter sent a chill through my spine. IBM had lost my most sensitive and valuable information including my Social Security number! I hadn't heard anything about this in the news on TV or online. Now, despite my best efforts somebody else had lost my personal information, which was lost out there available to thieves!
"When were the tapes lost? February 23, 2007."
Why did it take IBM more than two months to contact me? the letter didn't say anything specific beyond a vague description about "taking several weeks to investigate the incident." I can't imagine why it took IBM about 2 and a half months to investigate the theft and to notify me. My personal information could have been used during this long period. IBM's slowness with communicating affected my ability to protect myself against identity theft.
More questions for IBM. When I receive an answer I will post it on this blog.

If you want a long and happy (and successful) career as a truck driver, then you're going to have to keep your commercial drivers license clean. You need to minimize any issues with your license, especially those that could potentially see your license suspended or cancelled. The first step to achieving this is current knowledge of all the relevant trucking laws.
There are a number of ways of achieving this. If you work for a good company, especially a trucking company, then they will most likely keep you updated on any changes in the law. You can also join truck driver associations, some of which are online, and they too will keep you up-to-date on the latest changes to trucking laws.
Knowing the law is one thing, understanding it is another. If you don't understand any changes in laws, and the recent changes to the allowed amount of time behind the wheel makes a good example, then you run the risk of breaking those laws and having your licenses seriously affected. It is important to understand that ignorance (not knowing) can not be used as a defense in these situations.
Law changes seem to come in quick succession, then there'll be months in which there are no apparent changes at all. As a truck driver, the onus is on you to keep up-to-date with trucking laws. These laws also include documentation, and this needs to be kept up-to-date at all times. Failing to have your documents completed and up-to-date could represent another breach in your truck driving requirements, and this could see you losing your license completely.
Trucking laws are there for a reason – they are designed to keep everyone on the safe. If you are considering a career as a truck driver, be sure your truck driver training school includes modules on trucking laws.

Broadway Reopening: After a Year Off-Stage, Performers Are Ready to Think About Opening Night
And as of now, there isn't any movement on when Schonig will be back behind his drum kit at Moulin Rouge. Certain large-scale concert venues and arenas are already open at 10 percent capacity in the city, while arts and entertainment venues can reopen at 33 percent capacity beginning April 2, though Broadway will remain closed until May 30 at the earliest. "Movie theaters just opened recently in New York, but [there's] an element that theater has that's different than movies," says Shawn Bowers, who ended his run in The Temptations musical, Ain't Too Proud, a few days before the shutdown. "You have the performance, you have the stagehands, the crew—all of these people, in addition to the audience—that you have to think about." All of the performers and theater employees we spoke with say shows will be running in some way in the fall, but many shared that they aren't letting themselves get too excited about a set timeline.
How I Travel: Hamilton's Phillipa Soo on the Joy of Unplanned Travel Days
"So much of the past year was full of empty promises," says Uzele. "While I do believe there is a light at the end of the tunnel—and I know that there will be a day that we open—I have spent so much of the year training my brain to not get excited about the things that are so out of my control." Instead, she's spending the spring auditioning for TV pilots, so as not to waste any time before she is back on stage as Henry VIII's sixth wife.
When it comes to Broadway reopening, it's hard for workers to flip a switch and immediately be stage-ready again. Schonig says he hopes he has at least two months notice to get back into shape. "Once I know we're going back, I'm going to have to be practicing a lot to get my stamina up," he says. "Moulin Rouge is a very physical show—there are very few breaks—and I could not play [the music] right now. I could get through maybe the first few songs, and then I'd need to rest."
The first step before returning for Justin Bowen, a wig stylist at Tina, is washing and restyling the 200 wigs used in the show, which traces Tina Turner's life—and potentially refitting wigs for recast roles. "Honestly, I'll need to relearn the show in a way, because I haven't done it now in a year," he says. "It's no longer in my bones." Bowen, who was mostly self-taught, has spent the last year at cosmetology school, so he's even more prepared for the show's return.
Feliz has begun working with modern dance company Pilobolus while West Side Story is on pause, largely to keep her body moving. "There really is nothing like getting back into the groove of dancing day-to-day and doing the same material, repeatedly, that's its own kind of fitness," she says, adding that having gigs has given her a sense of hope that small companies and non-profits can employ Broadway performers.
While the ramp up to the glitz, glam, and lights of Broadway will be slow and steady, the performers know they'll be ready no matter when audiences are back in theaters again—and both Feliz and Jagged Little Pill's Kathryn Gallagher shared similar messages for those future audiences.
"I hope that the performers, the people who put on the show, and the audience remember how lucky we are," says Gallagher. "The theater has always been a place where I've gone to feel heard, seen, and understood. And I've never left any theater—Broadway, regional, high school production—feeling alone. So I hope that [we can all] really take a deep breath together and remember how important this is."
"There's not always a sense of public consciousness that the arts and culture really has to be protected, to be supported," Feliz says. "So I just hope that people—at that soul level—realize how special it is [to be sharing these stories together]."
Everyone agreed on one more thing: Opening night—whenever it comes—will be legendary. "Having that entire [Broadway] community together is going to feel superhuman," Gallagher says.
"I just am most looking forward to the downbeat of the overture on reopening night because it will be so cathartic and magical," says Bowen of returning to Tina. "And I can only imagine that the audience will just lose their minds."

Trouble Adjusting The growth of anxiety may be as simple as struggling to regulate when you have bipolar disorder. Living with bipolar dysfunction can be very difficult, and in some cases which will make it tougher to seek out life enjoyable – even if you're freed from your bipolar disorder symptoms. Materials provided by Michigan Medicine – University of Michigan Note: Content may be edited for model and length.
Bipolar disorder, also called manic-depressive sickness, is a brain disorder that causes unusual shifts in an individual's temper, energy, and talent to function. Different from the traditional ups and downs that everybody goes by means of, the symptoms of bipolar disorder are extreme. They may end up in damaged relationships, poor job or school performance, and even suicide. But there is good news: bipolar disorder could be handled, and folks with this sickness can lead full and productive lives.

When 4 or extra episodes of illness occur inside a 12-month interval, an individual is said to have speedy-cycling bipolar disorder. Some folks experience multiple episodes within a single week, and even within a single day. Rapid cycling tends to develop later in the middle of illness and is more common among women than amongst men.
What is it about individuals with bipolar issues that allows this devastating chain reaction to occur? As of this writing, nobody can level to a selected gene or brain distinction with certainty, however bipolar disorders are in all probability caused by an advanced mix of inherited genetic variations, differences in brain structure and chemistry, uncommon electrical or magnetic activity in the brain, and environmental factors.
The scientists are also trying to find out extra exactly how the overactivity of dentate gyrus neurons arises. One clue is that mitochondria—the tiny oxygen reactors that gas most mobile operations and are particularly essential for sustaining neurons' exercise and well being—are way more active in the neurons from bipolar sufferers, and are also smaller, making them extra swiftly transportable alongside the neurons' output stalks (axons). Whether these mitochondrial abnormalities lead or comply with the general neuronal overexcitability stays to be seen.

German postal service's electric delivery van goes mainstream
The StreetScooter electric delivery van in the German postal service
Update, April 13th, 2017.
Deutsche Post announced (Apr 11, 2017) that it is to expand production of its electric delivery van, the StreetScooter, aiming to double production capacity by the end of 2017 from 10,000 to as many as 20,000.
Deutsche Post developed the StreetScooter electric van itself, for its own deliveries. Such is its appeal that at least half of this year's annual production is planned for third party sale. The company sees municipal authorities, and large fleet customers in Germany and the rest of Europe as potential buyers. The prices for its smaller van start at €32,000.
To meet its target Deutsche Post will open another production location, in North Rhine-Westphalia. It is galling to reflect that the UK was manufacturing an electric van as long ago as 2008, only for it to be killed by the Recession.
My earlier blog, published Nov 21, 2012.
A German start-up company that built a electric car from only 15 months of development has followed that up by producing a CO2-free electric vehicle (EV) for the German postal service.
The rapid success of StreetScooter GmbH stands in stark contrast to the depressing story of Modec, a promising British electric van manufacturer, much feted by politicians, which went into liquidation because of falling sales in 2011.
Next year (2013) a bright yellow fleet of 50 prototype zero-carbon delivery vans will be deployed by Deutsche Post. The StreetScooter van has passed initial trials with the service, showing enough promise for the project to be extended. The vehicle is being developed with RWTH Aachen University and its spin-off company StreetScooter. The van, powered by a lithium-ion battery, will have a range of 120km on a charge and a top speed of about 85km/h, enough for the average delivery round.
It is designed to handle 200 stops and starts a day and be in service up to 300 days a year. The cost is not stated, although the prototype StreetScooter car could translate into a possible production model costing around €5000, excluding the battery. The driver would pay a monthly fee for the battery pack.
StreetScooter is a product of a novel collaboration, between 50 different component manufacturers. No single large company was involved, as it would've been in traditional manufacture, telling subsidiary companies what it wanted. Many of those taking part were small and medium-sized firms. They all had equal status, and could provide input. They produced a roadworthy vehicle after only 15 months development time, according to Professor Achim Kampker of RWTH Aachen University and CEO of StreetScooter GmbH
The vehicle was built in modules (such as body, powertrain and electronics), with the companies organized into "lead engineering groups" to concentrate their efforts on their specialized area. Any disagreement between the groups was sent for resolution to a management group. One innovation was a heat pump that has an energy consumption of only 20% of a conventional system air conditioning and heating
While development of electric cars has been accelerating on many fronts pver the past few years, there has been slow progress on electric commercial vehicles.
Modec, based in Coventry, began building an electric van in 2007, for use on relatively short distance deliveries, using a battery which was replaced with a replenished pack at a depot every day. The vehicle certainly worked. I had the opportunity to drive it in September 2008. The vans were tried out by Tesco and other big companies. However sales slid in the recession and the company folded after four years.
Can this innovative small German company, with a van and a car ready to be brought forward to the mass market, do any better?
