Amcor Flexibles and Rohrer Corp. have collaborated on an award-winning package for unstable and moisture-sensitive ingredients such as medicines and vaccines.
The Multi-Chamber Blister System has won a 2018 WorldStar award from the World Packaging Organisation. The package employs Amcor's SafeMix cold-form laminate and can hold a dry powder in one chamber and a liquid in another. The approach enhances drug stability and could eliminate the need for cool storage and glass containers, Amcor reports in a news release. SafeMix could also be used for diagnostics.
"The internal frangible seal is broken when pressure is applied to the cavities," Kirsty Reid, Segment Marketing Manager for Amcor Flexibles, tells PMP News. Once the seal is broken, the two ingredients can be mixed together by pushing on the cavities.
The package also features a straw that can be used to deliver the liquid into a patient's mouth, Reid explains.
In addition to winning the 2018 WorldStar award from the World Packaging Organisation, the package had also won an Alufoil Trophy from the European Aluminium Foil Association in the Technical Innovation category earlier in 2017.
Love it - cheers to this innovation from Amcor Flexibles and Rohrer Corp.

Q: Javascript Checkbox cookie On my php form with random number of checkboxes (depends on MySQL query results) i use pagination and checkbox_cookie.js script to remember checkboxes values from other subpages.
It works well if there is less then 200 checkboxes after that it's loosing memory of last checkbox changes e.g. i have 230 checkboxes spllited in 8 subpages it remember positions for those in 7 sub-pages but can't save states of checkboxes at page 8.
And now i'm seriously out of clue why is it happening.
Is it cookie size? JSON array limit? Something?
Perhaps you will know where to look for an aswer.
Here's the checkbox_cookie code:
var aa_checkbox;

function init_checkbox(){
//setup blank cb cookie
if(!Cookie.read('cb')){
Cookie.write('cb', JSON.encode({}));
}

//setup "associative array" to match what is currently in the cookie
aa_checkbox = JSON.decode(Cookie.read('cb'));

//set up each checkbox with class="remember_cb"
$$('input.remember_cb').each(function(el){

//mark checked if it is in the cookie
if(aa_checkbox[el.name]){
  el.checked = 'checked'
}

//setup onclick event to put checkbox status in the
el.addEvent('change', function(){
  if(el.checked){
    aa_checkbox[el.name] = 1;
  }else{
    delete(aa_checkbox[el.name]);
  }
})
})

//save aa_checkbox back into cookie upon leaving a page
window.onbeforeunload = function(){Cookie.write('cb', JSON.encode(aa_checkbox));};

setup_form();

return true;
 }

function setup_form(){
 //set up form so that it adds the inputs upon submit.
$$('form.remember_cb_form').each(function(form){
 form.addEvent('submit', function(ev){
   //clean up previously inserted inputs
   var aa_hidden_insert = $$('input.hidden_insert');
    $each(aa_hidden_insert, function(el){
     el.parentNode.removeChild(el);
   })

   var el_form = this;

    //insert hidden elements representing the values stored in  aa_checkbox
  $each(aa_checkbox, function(i_value, s_name){
    if(i_value){
      var el_input = document.createElement('input');
      el_input.type = 'hidden';
      el_input.value = i_value;
      el_input.name = s_name;
      el_input.setAttribute('class', 'hidden_insert');
      el_form.appendChild(el_input);
    }
  });
   });
 });
}

window.addEvent('domready', init_checkbox);

A: Cookies have very small size limits since they get sent to server with each and every http request. You would be much better off using localStorage or sessionStorage API's. These store data within the browser itself
Although the localStorage API is fairly simple to use on it's own, there is a very handy little library wrapper you can use store.js which makes it even simpler

Early (50's to 70's) attempts of illustrating music with motion patterns, caleidoscopic textures, dots and grids: James Whitney, visual composer, younger brother of John, whose works we'll write about soon.
We're talking hand-crafted stuff here: works produced punching grid patterns in 5″ by 7″ cards with a pin.
Only later in his life, the film-maker started using analogue computers.
Yantra (1950-55): dots painted on punched 5″ by 7″ cards through pinholes, to produce a complex flowing motion.
Lapis (1966), (pictured above): produced with computer aided graphics, small circles oscillates in and out in a kaleidoscope manner. The patterns, accompanied by Indian sitar music, are trance inducing and hypnotic.
Dwija (1973), meaning "twice-born" or "soul" in Sanskrit. Completely solarized, its imagery is rear projected and re-photographed, to create a constant flow of hardly definable transformations of color and form.
Wu Ming (1977), meaning "no name" in Chinese, repeats a single action over and over – a particle disappears into infinity, and returns as a wave.
credo di avere le pupille con un diametro di 10 centimetri. grazie per il viaggione.
figurati, peccato per la scarsa qualità.


IF WELLS FARGO OPENED A BANK ACCOUNT OR CREDIT/DEBIT CARD ACCOUNT IN YOUR NAME, WITHOUT YOUR PERMISSION, PLEASE CONTACT US.
As you may have read in the papers and online, Wells Fargo has been opening unauthorized credit and debit card accounts and bank accounts in the name of its banking customers. This is outrageous, fraudulent conduct. Wells Fargo has already agreed to pay the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) a civil penalty of $100 million due to its fraudulent conduct. The Consent Order that Wells Fargo entered into with the CFPB can be seen here. But, that money won't go to the victims. The victims may get paid back the fees Wells Fargo charged them as a result of its conduct, but they won't get punitive damages.
Shapiro Haber & Urmy specializes in financial and consumer class actions. We believe that the victims of Wells Fargo's outrageous conduct have strong claims for punitive damages. If you were a victim of Wells Fargo's fraud, we would welcome the opportunity to discuss this matter with you. Please call Ian McLoughlin or Patrick Vallely at 617-439-3939 or email them at imcloughlin@shulaw.com or pvallely@shulaw.com.

Division VII. Property.
Title 42. Real Property.
Subtitle III. Condominiums.
Chapter 19. Condominiums.
Subchapter III. Control and Governance of Condominiums.
§ 42-1903.16. Warranty against structural defects; limitation for conversion condominiums; exclusion or modification of warranty.
(a) As used in this section, the term "structural defect" means a defect in a component that constitutes any unit or portion of the common elements that reduces the stability or safety of the structure below standards commonly accepted in the real estate market, or restricts the normally intended use of all or part of the structure and which requires repair, renovation, restoration, or replacement. Nothing in this section shall be construed to make the declarant responsible for any items of maintenance relating to the units or common elements.
(b) A declarant shall warrant against structural defects in each of the units for 2 years from the date each unit is first conveyed to a bona fide purchaser, and all of the common elements for 2 years. The 2 years shall begin as to any portion of the common elements whenever the portion has been completed or, if later:
(1) If within any additional land or portion thereof that does not contain a unit, at the time the additional land is added to the condominium;
(2) If within any convertible land or portion thereof that does not contain a unit, at the time the convertible land may no longer be converted;
(3) If within any additional land or convertible land or portion of either that does contain a unit, at the time the first unit therein is first conveyed to a bona fide purchaser; or
(4) If within any other portion of the condominium, at the time the first unit is conveyed to a bona fide purchaser.
(c) A declarant of a conversion condominium may offer the units, common elements, or both in "as is" condition. If the conversion condominium is offered in "as is" condition, the declarant's warranty against structural defects shall apply only to a defect in components installed by the declarant or work done by the declarant unless the declarant gives a more extensive warranty in writing.
(d) Except with respect to a purchaser of a unit that may be used for residential purposes, the warranty against structural defects:
(1) May be excluded or modified by agreement of the parties; and
(2) Is excluded by an expression of disclaimer such as "as is", "with all faults", or other language that in common understanding calls the purchaser's attention to the exclusion of warranties.
(e)(1) Prior to the declarant's first conveyance of a residential unit to a purchaser, the declarant shall post a bond or letter of credit with the Mayor in the amount of 10% of the estimated construction or conversion costs, or shall provide any other form of security the Mayor shall approve to satisfy any costs that arise from the declarant's failure to satisfy the requirements of this section. The other security may include a lien in favor of the Mayor against the declarant's equity in any unsold units, including any non-residential units, in which event the unsold units will be valued, for purposes of computing the declarant's equity, at 90% of the current listed sales price of the units, or if not listed, then the current listed sales price of comparable units in the condominium. The bond, letter of credit, or other security shall be reduced at the declarant's request in pro rata segments (based on the residential unit's percentage interest in the residential portion of the condominium) 2 years after the conveyance of each unit; provided, however, that in no event shall the security be reduced below 50% of the original amount of the security until one year after transfer of control of the residential executive board of the condominium association to purchasing residential unit owners other than the declarant. For purposes of this subsection, "transfer of control" shall have occurred when 51% or more of the residential executive board is composed of residential unit owners other than the declarant, or successor declarant, or the declarant's selections or nominees. At the end of 5 years from the conveyance of the first residential unit to a purchaser, and provided one year has passed following transfer of control by the declarant, the declarant may sell unsold residential units as resale units, in which event no warranty against structural defects in the units under this section shall be required and the bond shall be reduced pro rata as to those unsold units. The bonding requirements pursuant to this subsection and the warranties required under this section are applicable only to residential condominiums or the residential condominium portion of mixed use condominiums or mixed use projects. If residential condominium units are part of a mixed use condominium, the cost of the residential portion of the condominium shall include the residential condominium units' pro rata share of common elements, based on the residential condominium units' percentage interest in the common elements. If a residential condominium is part of a mixed use project, the cost of the residential condominium includes its pro rata share of those portions of the project directly supporting, enclosing or servicing the residential condominium.
(2) If claims for structural defects under this section are pending at the time the bond or other security posted would otherwise no longer be required, then the bond or other security shall be required to be maintained in the amount of the claim, until the claims have been finally resolved and the bond or other security has been made available to satisfy the declarant's responsibilities to the unit owners and association under this section. The bylaws and other condominium documents to be prepared by the declarant shall not restrict or hinder the residential executive board's right to assert claims under this section.
(f) As used in this section, the term "conveyance" shall mean the transfer of title by written instrument.
(g)(1) The Mayor shall issue proposed rules to implement the provisions of this section within 180 days of October 22, 1999. The proposed rules shall be submitted to the Council for a 45-day period of review, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, legal holidays, and days of Council recess. If the Council does not approve or disapprove the proposed rules, in whole or in part, by resolution within this 45-day review period, the proposed rules shall be deemed approved.
(2) The Mayor shall report to the Council on an annual basis on the use and effect of this section and the number of condominium units traded each year.
(Mar. 29, 1977, D.C. Law 1-89, title III, § 316, as added Mar. 8, 1991, D.C. Law 8-233, § 2(jj), 38 DCR 261; Mar. 20, 1992, D.C. Law 9-82, § 2(l), 39 DCR 683; Oct. 22, 1999, D.C. Law 13-46, § 2, 46 DCR 6598.)
1981 Ed., § 45-1856.
Effect of Amendments
D.C. Law 13-46 added subsecs. (f) and (g) and rewrote subsec. (e) which formerly provided:
"(e)(1) Prior to the declarant's first conveyance of a residential unit to a purchaser, the declarant shall post a bond or letter of credit with the Mayor in the amount of 10% of the estimated construction or conversion costs, or shall provide any other form of security the Mayor shall approve to satisfy any costs that arise from the declarant's failure to satisfy the requirements of this section. The other security may include a lien in favor of the Mayor against the declarant's equity in any unsold units, including any non-residential units, in which event the unsold units will be valued, for purposes of computing the declarant's equity, at 90% of the current listed sales price of the units, or if not listed, then the current listed sales price of comparable units in the condominium. The bond, letter of credit, or other security shall be reduced at the declarant's request in pro rata segments (based on the residential unit's percentage interest in the residential portion of the condominium) 2 years after the conveyance of each unit; provided, however, that in no event shall the security be reduced below 50% of the original amount of the security until one year after transfer of control of the residential executive board of the condominium association to purchasing residential unit owners other than the declarant. For purposes of this subsection, 'transfer of control' shall have occurred when 51% or more of the residential executive board is composed of residential unit owners other than the declarant, or successor declarant, or the declarant's selections or nominees. At the end of 5 years from the conveyance of the first residential unit to a purchaser, and provided one year has passed following transfer of control by the declarant, the declarant may sell unsold residential units as resale units, in which event no warranty against structural defects in the units under this section shall be required and the bond shall be reduced pro rata as to those unsold units. The bonding requirements pursuant to this subsection and the warranties required under this section are applicable only to residential condominiums or the residential condominium portion of mixed use condominiums or mixed use projects. If residential condominium units are part of a mixed use condominium, the cost of the residential portion of the condominium shall include the residential condominium units' pro rata share of common elements, based on the residential condominium units' percentage interest in the common elements. If a residential condominium is part of a mixed use project, the cost of the residential condominium includes its pro rata share of those portions of the project directly supporting, enclosing or servicing the residential condominium.
"(2) If claims for structural defects under this section are pending at the time the bond or other security posted would otherwise no longer be required, then the bond or other security shall be required to be maintained in the amount of the claim, until the claims have been finally resolved and the bond or other security has been made available to satisfy the declarant's responsibilities to the unit owners and association under this section. The bylaws and other condominium documents to be prepared by the declarant shall not restrict or hinder the residential executive board's right to assert claims under this section."

Memphis mayoral debate
Mayoral candidates point fingers at each other in debate
Like schoolchildren pushing and shoving to be the next in line, the Memphis mayoral candidates jostled one another with accusations on Sept. 22 at a University of Memphis debate.
Current mayor A C Wharton was the lone wolf Tuesday, spending most of the evening deflecting criticism from the other three contenders, Harold Collins, Jim Strickland, both city council members, and Mike Williams, Memphis Police Association president,.
"I would like to make a rebuttal, but I'm all out," Wharton joked.
The Millennials for Memphis organization focused the debate on the interest of the 202,000 young people in Memphis between the ages of 18 and 34.
"So often when it's time to make decisions concerning what is going to happen in Memphis they don't include us (millennials) at the table until the very end," Teniesha Pender, the debate co-host, said. "Well, this time we ask that they include at the table from the very beginning."
Unfortunately, the candidates turned what was meant to be a conversation with a panel of 16 millennials into a war of words among themselves.
"Be careful," Williams said to the audience. "He (Wharton) may look great up here under the shining lights, but is he giving us the truth?"
Though questions from the panelists ranged from entrepreneurship to crime in the city, the majority of their responses from Strickland, Williams, and Collins all emphasized the need for a transparent administration.
Rachel Knox, panelist and current city council candidate, sparked tension among the four candidates when she asked how they will improve the communication between the administration and the city council.
The three contenders agreed that Wharton's should be more transparent and implied that the current mayor is not direct and honest with his City Council. When he answered, he disagreed, saying that he consistently communicates with City Council members. He cited the budget posted online as an example of his transparency, but did admit that most people don't have the accounting degree needed to understand it.
"It's not a matter of deception," Wharton said. "It's a matter of misinterpretation and it happens every day."
Wharton's rebuttal did little to convince Collins, who stayed pugnacious throughout most of the debate.
"Three of us up on this stage all said that the administration doesn't tell us the truth and did you hear the mayor say that we weren't right?" Collins asked.. "What does that tell you?"

Under A Harper Conservative Government, When Canada Talks To The World ... No One Listens Anymore ...
Stephen Harper Mocked Over Empty UN General Assembly For His Speech

Andrew Scheer Is The WORST House Of Commons Speaker In The Entire History Of Canada's Parliament!!
Speaker Scheer and the death of Parliament
By Montreal Simon
For years Stephen Harper and his Cons have been slowly killing our Parliament.
They have have debased it, they have rendered it impotent.
They have reduced it to a scripted horror show, where every question is answered with an attack on the opposition.
But yesterday with their ghastly leader out of the country they practically finished it off.
For this is what happened when Tom Mulcair rose to ask this question about Canada's mysterious mission in Iraq:
"Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister has failed to answer clear questions about his ill-defined military deployment in Iraq," Mr. Mulcair said by way of preamble. "Yesterday Conservatives refused, once again, to answer in this House, but the member for Selkirk—Interlake stated on CPAC that the mission will end on October 4. Will the Conservative government confirm that the 30-day Canadian commitment in Iraq will indeed end on October 4?"
Instead of any kind of answer, he got Paul Calandra, Stephen Harper's Parliamentary Secretary.
You know the Con clown . . .
"Mr. Speaker," the parliamentary secretary said in response, "there is a great deal of confusion with respect to the NDP position on Israel."
Which as Aaron Wherry points out, was absurd enough.
For all the theoretical intents and purposes of this particular moment in the daily democratic life of our country, he might as well have stood and told the Speaker of his grocery list or read aloud from the collected works of Edgar Allan Poe. He might've stood and made farting noises with his left hand and his right armpit. Indeed, that might've at least entertained the kids watching at home.
But what happened next, when Mulcair continued his questioning, and appealed to the Speaker Andrew Scheer to ask Calandra to follow the rules of democratic decency, turned our Parliament into a cheap FARCE . . .
Yes, believe it or not, rather than ask the clown Calandra to answer the questions, or to stop turning Question Period into some kind of Con cabaret, Scheer punished Mulcair.
Removing his two remaining questions, and moving on to Justin Trudeau.
Even though Mulcair had every right to keep trying to get a serious answer about a very serious issue. He was merely asking Scheer to stop allowing Calandra to turn the House he looks down upon from his throne, into a bad joke or a fascist circus.
Or the death of our democracy. Wherry:
We might, for instance, insist on expecting that if the government of the day commits the men and women of our military to a conflict that that government should grace us with straightforward explanations for that commitment. That if our democratically elected representatives stand in the House of Commons and ask specific questions about that commitment, that those questions — questions ultimately asked on our behalf — deserve answers, not merely responses.
This is not quite rocket science. These are merely the hopey changey principles on which we aim to govern ourselves.
And who can blame Mulcair for questioning Sheer's neutrality? When he has made so many dubious decisions.
And has from the moment he sat on his throne acted and sounded like a Con robot…
Or his master's voice.
And all I can say is, before we have to hold a mirror up to the cold blue lips of our democracy, to see if it's still alive.
When we fire his maniac master . . .
... However, the Right leaning political columnist with the Regina Leader-Post runs to Scheers defense

Harper Refuses To Answer ANY Questions On Iraq Mission - Partisan House Of Commons Speaker Andrew Scheer Refuses To Follow Rules Of The House!!
Speaker Andrew Scheer is so completely in the pocket of the Prime Minister's Office, he will not follow the Rules of the House and require the Conservative Government to adhere to some sane relevancy when answering questions in Question Periond. SHAME ON SPEAKER SCHEER!!!
Tue, Sep 23: "NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair wanted to talk about Canada's military mission in Iraq. Conservative MP Paul Calandra wanted to talk about a NDP fundraiser's inflammatory comments about Israel. What followed was an utterly bizzare exchange which ended with Mulcair questioning the Speaker of the House's integrity."

The New Democrats Get It Right On Iraq - Walkom
By backing Barack Obama's ill-considered war, Stephen Harper and Justin Trudeau have signed onto a fool's errand.
America's latest Middle East war is a fool's errand.
U.S. President Barack Obama's campaign against Islamic State militants in Iraq and Syria is hastily conceived, relies on uncertain allies and risks further inflaming an already volatile region.
In Canada, the only major political party with anything resembling a sensible position on this war is Tom Mulcair's NDP.
After days of dithering, the New Democrats have decided to oppose Canadian involvement. Mulcair made that clear Tuesday night in a Commons debate.
Few noticed, so he announced it again Wednesday.
He said, correctly, that the Conservative government is committing Canadian commandos to the conflict without being clear as to what they can plausibly accomplish once they get there.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper initially said Canada would send "several dozen" special forces as "advisers" to Kurdish irregulars fighting the militants. On Tuesday, he said the number of Canadian soldiers in Iraq will be 69.
While the prime minister has said he will review the deployment in 30 days, his government's commitment to Obama's war is, to all intents and purposes, open-ended.
If Obama had a coherent strategy, this might not matter. But the U.S. president does not.
He promises to miraculously "destroy and degrade" the militants without sending U.S. troops into combat.
Yet even his top military chief, Gen. Martin Dempsey, has said that American ground forces may be needed.
The U.S. president has gathered what, on paper, appears to be an impressive coalition.
But when it comes to specifics, few members of that coalition — including Muslim states — are willing to commit themselves to much.
Their reluctance is understandable. The region in which the U.S. wants to operate is a quagmire characterized by shifting alliances among actors with dubious aims.
Turkey, for instance, has no love for the Islamic State. But it also opposes the Syrian regime of Bashar Assad (which the Islamic State is fighting).
As well, Turkey is deeply suspicious of Western efforts to arm and train Kurdish militias, some of which it views as terrorist.
The U.S. is pinning its hopes on the training and arming of so-called Syrian moderates. But it is not clear that there are any moderates left in the bloody, sectarian Syrian civil war.
Indeed, Washington's approach to Syria is reminiscent of its strategy in Afghanistan in the 1980s.
American support of allegedly pro-Western militias there helped to tip the country into anarchy and, ultimately, paved the way for the Taliban to take power.
Meanwhile, Obama's Western allies are careful to play to their home audiences.
French President François Hollande, deeply unpopular at home for his handling of the economy, is trying to burnish his image by authorizing air strikes against militants in Iraq. But he has ruled out taking this air war to Islamic State bases in Syria.
Australia, like Canada, is sending commandos to Iraq. Like Harper, Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott claims that these 600 battle-tested soldiers will act as advisers only.
In Canada, the Afghan experience has made the politics of war particularly difficult.
Harper can gain advantage with some voters by portraying himself as a serious international player willing to wage war.
Yet it is best for him if the details and contradictions of this particular war — including any casualties — are obscured.
Justin Trudeau's Liberals take pride in the fact that it was their party's government that, officially at least, refused to take part in the last Iraq war.
But the Liberals are also reluctant to be seen as soft on jihadists who cut off heads.
From this comes Trudeau's somewhat confused position. He says he will support the current mission "as designed," as long as "we continue to have parliamentary oversight."
Yet no one outside government knows the exact design of the current mission. And there is no parliamentary oversight.
Harper has made it clear that as far as this war is concerned, the government will do as it wishes, regardless of what MPs think. Parliament be damned.

Saskatchewan Taxpayers Cough Up Millions To Open Doors For Premier Brad Wall With American Republican Lawmakers
By: Les Whittington Star Ottawa Bureau reporter, Laurent Bastien Corbeil Staff Reporter, Published on Mon Sep 15 2014
OTTAWA—When it comes to rubbing shoulders with movers and shakers in the halls of power in the United States, few governments are better represented than that of a place many Americans have never heard of — Saskatchewan.
Since 2009, Premier Brad Wall's government and Saskatchewan agencies have paid more than $3 million to a U.S. law firm to fund an ambitious lobbying onslaught in Washington, D.C., on the long-stalled Keystone pipeline proposal and other energy and trade issues.
The law firm Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough has helped the premier work the halls of Congress, hobnob with the cream of U.S. policy-makers and introduce himself to the American media-government establishment. In some cases, members of the U.S. Congress who met with Wall received political contributions from Nelson Mullins before or after their contact with the premier, according to U.S. government documents.
Public records filed under the U.S. Foreign Agents Registration Act sketch the lobbying campaign. In April 2009, the law firm reported: "Outreach to CNN producer Michelle Jaconi suggesting she keep on file the biography of Premier Brad Wall and consider him for guest booking for CNN shows" on climate change and trade issues.
A key member of the Nelson Mullins team is David Wilkins, the former U.S. ambassador to Canada.
In May 2009, staffers at Nelson Mullins were busy with "outreach to (U.S.) Western Governors' Association to promote Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall for speaking opportunity at Western Governors' Association meeting in Utah."
A month later, the law firm reported it had contacted several major U.S. newspapers to disseminate an opinion piece co-written by Wall and Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer on a joint carbon-capture-and-storage project.
Since then, Nelson Mullins' efforts to advance Saskatchewan's interests have covered a wide range of activities: Obtaining media coverage for Wall on his visits to China and India as well as the U.S., arranging speaking engagements in the U.S. for the premier and helping him pressure U.S. President Barack Obama to approve Keystone. The latter strategy included a letter signed by Wall and the governors of 10 U.S. states urging Obama to give Keystone the go-ahead.
While the Keystone pipeline would carry oilsands-derived crude to the U.S. from Alberta, Saskatchewan also stands to benefit if the project goes ahead. Petroleum producers in Saskatchewan are losing $2.5 billion annually because of depressed prices resulting from a North American oil surplus, Wall's office says. This costs the provincial government $300 million a year in lost revenues. Opening a new export pipeline would push up prices for oil producers in Saskatchewan and other provinces.
Wall has always been open about his province's lobbying contract with Nelson Mullins and believes Wilkins and others there have performed well on Saskatchewan's behalf, a government spokesperson said.
In the past five years, the law firm has used its connections to throw open the doors of some of Washington's most sought-after lawmakers and White House officials for Wall and other Saskatchewan cabinet ministers.
And U.S. Department of Justice documents show lawmakers who met with Wall were in some cases the beneficiaries of political contributions by Nelson Mullins.
There is no indication any of the money donated to members of Congress lobbied by Nelson Mullins came from the Saskatchewan government. The law firm was working for other clients while it worked for Wall. Nelson Mullins regularly makes political contributions to dozens of lawmakers in the U.S. and such political contributions are legal under U.S. election financing rules.
Wilkins declined repeated requests for interviews about his relationship with the premier and the Saskatchewan government. However, he has said in the past, in relation to political contributions to a member of Congress, that he has never expected any recipient of a political contribution to take any particular action in response. U.S. lawmakers contacted by the Star also did not return the Star's requests for comments.
Nelson Mullins was particularly active on behalf of Wall when he visited Washington in the first week of March. At that time, there was a peak in the high-stakes struggle in Washington over Keystone. With Obama's long-awaited yes-or-no decision on the $7-billion pipeline thought to be imminent, Wall made another of his regular visits to the U.S. capital and as usual turned to Wilkins to set up his lobbying contacts.
Nelson Mullins arranged for Wall to meet 10 members of Congress to discuss Keystone, according to records collected under the Foreign Agents Registration Act.
Among those with whom Wall met to talk about the controversial pipeline project was John Boehner, the powerful Republican speaker of the House of Representatives. A smiling Wall posed for a photograph with Boehner and Wilkins that subsequently ran in a Nelson Mullins newsletter. The following Monday after the Wall-Boehner meeting, Wilkins' law firm provided Boehner with a $2,000 political donation, according to the U.S. records.
Boehner, a longtime supporter of Keystone, had presided over several House votes meant to pressure Obama to approve the pipeline's construction. And in April when Obama again postponed a final yes-or-no ruling on Keystone, Boehner labelled the move "shameful" and vowed to keep pressing the administration to "move forward" on a decision.

World Shocked At ISIS Beheadings ... while our ally Saudi Arabia continues to whack heads off routinely as part of their justice system!
"In the space of two weeks last month, according to the rights group Amnesty International, Saudi Arabia executed as many as 22 people. At least eight of those executed were beheaded, U.N. observers say. It appears that the majority of those executed in August were guilty of nonlethal crimes, including drug trafficking, adultery, apostasy and "sorcery." Four members of one family, Amnesty reports, were beheaded for "receiving drugs." [...] last year, a reported shortage of trained swordsmen led to some hope that the practice could wane, but recent evidence suggests otherwise. It's an uncomfortable irony given that the United States' current military mobilization was triggered after the Islamic State beheaded two American journalists."Beheading as a form of execution is cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment and prohibited under international law under all circumstances," said Juan Méndez, a U.N. special rapporteur on torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, at a news conference in Geneva on Tuesday. "
Editorial note: This post in no way is intended to be defensive of ISIS and its abhorrent practices. It is intended to show that we traveled 'down the rabbit hole' a long time ago in our dealings with the oil rich Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as our 'ally'. According to Human Rights Watch (HRW), at least 69 people were executed by beheading in 2012

Home > Could Website Translation Really be This Easy?
Some people might have forgotten the meaning of the acronym www. That's not really surprising as there is no reason to know it. It means the world wide web which, explained further, means that every website that becomes live can reach every corner of the Earth. The Internet is the world wide web of communication for anything that has been uploaded onto it.
Who Benefits the Most From Websites?
Basically, anyone who wants to pass on information to someone else without having to communicate with them directly by some other form of communication benefits from having their own website. With developments over the past two decades websites have become such a refined form of communication that each has its own unique address which users can bookmark and save and go back to over and over again. This is where website translation starts to fit into the picture.
Most of us only speak and know one language and use this as the main form of communication. This is great for personal use but what about if you own and run a business and its website is only in English? This is where you are missing out. Don't forget anyone can access your website if they know its unique address but can everyone understand it? No, they can't because it's in English and statistically very few people who access the internet can understand English. A good website translation services company will need to be used to make sure that the website is available to as many potential markets as possible.
How Can you Benefit from Website Translation?
Website translation services are like any translation services. Website translation is simple if you get the right translator to do the job. There is little difference between translating a page on a website and any document translation services. Once you have translated your website into some of the most important languages more people will be able to access it and at a click of the mouse can be ordering your products and growing your business. Website translation is easy if the translator knows the subject matter and can find the right word choices to suit your product.


Motorbike insurance might sound like a bit of a niche category of insurance, but there are actually a huge number of people who ride these sorts of vehicles, and so even within this there are subcategories depending on the type of vehicle you wish to cover.
Firstly it should be noted the difference between a machine with a motor and one that not - a push bike - standard bicycle insurance is a quite separate product.
With motorbikes one might be looking for motorbike cover, which again breaks down very much depending on what type of motorbike you have and it's power, just like it will cost more to insure a ferrari compared to a standard town car, so with a super-duper motorbike costs will be higher. Indeed some insurers will break down the types of insurance they offer within the motorbike category to commuters, sportsbikes, off road biking activities, those used for touring and more besides - even customising policies to exact needs.
Other types of vehicle that can be covered include mopeds and scooters, and again there are providers who offer specific levels of cover for those vehicles.
Clearly if you own a motorbike then you will want to ensure that you get a good deal on your insurance, and also ensure that it offers the level of protection that you require and feel comfortable with.
In terms of what is covered, then clearly options include things like breakdown cover, legal cover and can include cover for things like your leathers and helmet too. There are all the usual options you'd expect to see: third party cover alone, then third party cover together with fire and theft cover, and then the fully comprehensive cover - which as you'd expect is the most expensive although it covers the widest amount of eventualities. Together with this there may be various other extras you can add too.
Various factors will be taken into account when you get a quote, and you can get a good idea of these by looking at some online comparison sites for motorbike insurance to get a feel for this. Clearly you will need to get a good idea of what the value of your motorcycle is if you don't already know, and know your mileage, and also you will need to know when you purchased the bike. Remember that parking a motorbike securely, say in a garage, is seen as a plus, and if you do this and mention it on your quote then it can lead to a slightly lower total cost.
Finally if you are an advanced driver - as in you have an advanced qualified in motorcycle riding, then again mention this when getting quotes.

Developer: Offices by Armature Works reaching target market
TAMPA — With construction on one building already rising to the fourth floor, a recent construction update for the two six-story buildings at the Heights Union office project was a little late for a groundbreaking, a little early for a topping-off.
But the timing worked to show that the project, now 55 percent leased, is attracting the kind of tenants that the developers of the Heights want.
"When we sat down and planned the Heights out, our goal was that the story of the Heights was going to be about quality jobs," developer Adam Harden said. That started with a $20 million project to restore the industrial space at the Armature Works and bring in the kind of amenities that would attract employers: a food hall, restaurants, a rooftop bar, a lawn on the riverfront, co-working space and an event hall.
THE ARMATURE WORKS: A long-awaited transformation
So far, developers have signed leases for the Heights Union with Axogen, a fast-growing Gainesville startup that's focused on developing nerve regeneration and repair technologies for commercial use; WeWork, a co-working company with locations in about three dozen U.S. cities and nearly twice that many across Europe, Latin America, Asia and the Middle East; and DPR Construction, the builder on the project.
Axogen likes the Heights Union as a place where its employees can live nearby, company chairwoman, president and chief executive officer Karen Zaderej said. And it likes Tampa because the bay area is "quickly gaining a global reputation as a growing hub and a training ground for scientists, physicians and the technicians that we need in our business."
"We needed a city where we could attract the best talent," Zaderej said. "Tampa quickly rose to the top of the list. This region has emerged as a driving force behind the state's fast-growing life science industry."
Rising at the southwest corner of W Palm Avenue and N Tampa Street, the Heights Union will include 42,000 square feet of street-level retail, a 1,500-space parking garage and a rooftop deck. The office project is the latest phase of a larger redevelopment that so far includes the Armature Works and The Pearl, a 314-apartment building. The Heights Union is expected to open in the second quarter of 2020, Harden said.
At last week's event, Mayor Bob Buckhorn said the development of The Heights, Ulele, the 220 W Seventh Avenue office building and the Bush Ross law offices took place "because all of you believed not in what you saw" 10 or 15 years ago, but because of "what this could be." Back then, he said, the area consisted of empty buildings and fallow land, while Tampa itself was a "donor city of talent and young people to places like Charlotte and Austin and Raleigh."
"Look at us now," he said. "That talent pipeline that you talked about is full. These young people, our kids that we were losing to these other cities, are now coming back in droves, and they're bringing their friends with them."

The Softball America - Year in Review magazine is now available online. The magazine was a team effort consisting of myself, Bill Shipe, Curtis Hensman and Keith Keppley. Collectively, we really hope you enjoy reading it.
I'll be very interested to see to what extent the change to the all-star formula affects the all star lists. I've loved the RUNC statistic ever since you rolled it out several years ago, and given its ability to pretty well reflect a team's aggregate run production, I'm a strong believer that it meaningfully estimates the number of runs that a hitter individually contributes to their team as well.
We know that RUNC = (TB + 0.26BB + 0.52SACF)(OBP). Of course, nowhere in this formula are any terms having to do with R or RBI, and I view this as a positive for getting a clearer picture of a player's individual performance. R and RBI are dependent on the strength of the lineup around a given player and/or the player's position in the lineup (R is influenced by who bats after the player; RBI is influenced by who bats before the player). Employing a formula without these terms has the effect of increasing the likelihood of all-star status assignment to players who individually excel on weak teams, and decreasing the likelihood for solid players who bat in proximity to "true all-stars". Another wrinkle to this is that there may have been situations where a team had only 1 or 2 "true all-stars", but the team as a whole excelled (scored lots of runs) owing to team chemistry and/or everyone knowing their role and performing it. You wouldn't want to penalize this by tagging 8 or 9 of the group as all-stars. I understand that the change for the league here was largely motivated by those situations where players were becoming all-stars as a result of playing on a high-scoring team. I'm all for trying it out – let's see how it works!
As I've played around with league statistics over the last few years (e.g., benchmarking my performance from season to season, or comparing one player to another), I've usually looked at RUNC/APP. This is quite similar to the new formula RUNC/G. The difference between the two approaches is that those players on strong teams will have more plate appearances (APP) per game (G). Accordingly, using RUNC/G (rather than RUNC/APP) will temper the desired effect for those players on strong teams (i.e., who come to the plate more often). I think that the more moderate RUNC/G approach may be the right place to start, but if you find that it doesn't go far enough, perhaps you could consider looking at RUNC/APP instead.


Probably the best way to protect your asset is to ensure it receives a regular annual service. Too often ultrasound machines break down because of something that could have been prevented and taken care of as part of the routine service.
Our PM service has been designed over and above the manufacturer recommendations; we look at every aspect of your system to ensure it is working at "Peak-Performance" levels.
In addition to this, we also undertake image quality benchmarking on each transducer associated to your machine. This is done using an industry standard Gammex ultrasound phantom. These images are then stored on our server and can accessed by you at any time to review your service report with each associated machine.


A wild elephant has killed four Rohingyas, including children, at a refugee camp in Bangladesh, in a second incident in a month.
Hundreds of thousands of Rohingyas have fled violence in Myanmar's Rakhine since a military crackdown began on Aug 25.
The incident was reported Saturday morning from the makeshift Rohingya camp on the Balukhali hills in Cox's Bazar's Ukhiya, said local police.
The victims include a woman, estimated to be in her 30s, and three minors, Ukhiya police's Inspector Md Kay Kislu told bdnews24.com.
He said a wild elephant from the forest near the refugee camp barged in around 12:45pm, leaving the Rohingyas fleeing in panic.
"Two persons died on the spot leaving several others injured, who were taken to the medical camp run by MSF (Médecins Sans Frontières). Two others succumbed to their injuries around 1:30pm," said Inspector Kislu.
A similar incident left two refugees killed about a month ago.
International agencies say an estimated 536,000 people crossed the border into the southeastern Bangladesh district of Cox's Bazar in seven weeks.
According to the Inter Sector Coordination Group or ISCG of aid agencies, hosted by International Organisation for Migration or IOM, some 15,000 people entered between Oct 9 and 11.


For those who have been wishing Popeyes would just add a drink to their rotating $5 specials, it looks like they may have heard you as their latest deal, the $5 Boneless Wing Combo, includes six crispy-fried boneless wings (AKA boneless chicken breast pieces), a side, a biscuit, and a fountain drink for $5.
Normally, the chain's $5 (or sometimes $4) specials include an entree, a side, and a biscuit for the price (although they sometimes add the option to add a drink for a dollar extra).
As usual, the $5 deal is available for a limited time at participating locations.

More Singaporeans head to Australia, UK for studies as currency stays strong
A favourite for expats overall. Source: Shutterstock
As the Singaporean dollar stayed strong against the Australian dollar and British pound over the last few years, more and more of the island country's citizens gained the means to study abroad in the latter two countries.
According to The New Paper, overseas education has seen a steady rise in popularity in Singapore, despite the mushrooming of local tertiary education options.
Last year, more than 2,800 Singaporeans obtained student visas to Australia and 2,700 to the UK, IDP Singapore's statistics show. The British Council's data reveal in 2015, the number of Singaporean students enrolled in UK universities was almost double that of the 4,115 students enrolled in 2009.
Australia, China, Ireland, Korea, New Zealand, Norway, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, and the U.K. are my options to study abroad
— le$ (88%) (@leslieofjesus) October 21, 2016
Education consultants point to the strong exchange rate and short duration of courses as the reason behind the trend.
"A key reason for the current appeal of studying abroad is the strength of the Singaporean dollar, making overseas education more affordable than ever," British Council director of education Shabir Aslam said.
In the past year, the Singaporean dollar appreciated against the British pound by nine percent. Last year, the Australian dollar was reported to have fallen to a seven-year low against the Singaporean dollar.
Together with international education, The Edge Markets reports Singaporeans were also investing in properties in the UK and Australia as these places grow more affordable for beneficiaries of the booming Asian tiger economy's citizens.
Shorter courses, favourable visas
The ability to shave off the total duration of their course is also a big appeal to Singaporean students.
By giving credit exemptions based on students' existing qualifications, such as their diploma, they can get up to one and a half years off their Bachelor's degree programmes in Australian universities – a feat not possible in local universities.
Whereas for the UK, a shorter course length compared to other countries is made possible by the country's education system. It takes only three years to gain a Bachelor's degree with honours in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, the same amount of time it would take to get a similar qualification in Singapore.

Favourable post-study options and culture matter, too.
Education consultancy IDP Singapore marketing and customer support manager Travis Kok says the Australian student visa is unique as it allows students 40 hours of part-time work while they pursue their studies. When they graduate, these students have the option to get a job in the country as well.
"Due to Australia's large Asian population and international enrolment, Singaporean students do not need to adapt to the culture much," Kok said.

"Australia is one of the few countries that allow international students who complete two years of education to stay on in the country to work."
The students are also said to be keen on international work opportunities and make use of the school's work placement programmes and industry networks.
And while having a big Asian community means Singaporean students heading Down Under would "not need to adapt to the culture much", analysts say students stand to gain from being placed in a foreign environment.
Apart from developing independence and cross-cultural sensitivity, students can broaden their "perspectives and world view", according to Kok.
"Studying abroad offers local students the opportunity to experience different cultures and develop a sense of independence," Shabir said.

In electronics, a remote control (also known as a remote or clicker) is an electronic device used to operate another device from a distance, usually wirelessly. In consumer electronics, a remote control can be used to operate devices such as a television set, DVD player or other home appliance. A remote control can allow operation of devices that are out of convenient reach for direct operation of controls. They function best when used from a short distance. This is primarily a convenience feature for the user. In some cases, remote controls allow a person to operate a device that they otherwise would not be able to reach, as when a garage door opener is triggered from outside. Early television remote controls (1956–1977) used ultrasonic tones. Present-day remote controls are commonly consumer infrared devices which send digitally-coded pulses of infrared radiation. They control functions such as power, volume, channels, playback, track change, heat, fan speed, and various other features. Remote controls for these devices are usually small wireless handheld objects with an array of buttons. They are used to adjust various settings such as television channel, track number, and volume. The remote control code, and thus the required remote control device, is usually specific to a product line. However, there are universal remotes, which emulate the remote control made for most major brand devices.
A thermostat is a regulating device component which senses the temperature of a physical system and performs actions so that the system's temperature is maintained near a desired setpoint. Thermostats are used in any device or system that heats or cools to a setpoint temperature, examples include building heating, central heating, air conditioners, HVAC systems, water heaters, as well as kitchen equipment including ovens and refrigerators and medical and scientific incubators. In scientific literature, these devices are often broadly classified as thermostatically controlled loads (TCLs). Thermostatically controlled loads comprise roughly 50% of the overall electricity demand in the United States. A thermostat operates as a "closed loop" control device, as it seeks to reduce the error between the desired and measured temperatures. Sometimes a thermostat combines both the sensing and control action elements of a controlled system, such as in an automotive thermostat. The word thermostat is derived from the Greek words θερμός thermos, "hot" and στατός statos, "standing, stationary".
In electrical engineering, a switch is an electrical component that can disconnect or connect the conducting path in an electrical circuit, interrupting the electric current or diverting it from one conductor to another. The most common type of switch is an electromechanical device consisting of one or more sets of movable electrical contacts connected to external circuits. When a pair of contacts is touching current can pass between them, while when the contacts are separated no current can flow. Switches are made in many different configurations; they may have multiple sets of contacts controlled by the same knob or actuator, and the contacts may operate simultaneously, sequentially, or alternately. A switch may be operated manually, for example, a light switch or a keyboard button, or may function as a sensing element to sense the position of a machine part, liquid level, pressure, or temperature, such as a thermostat. Many specialized forms exist, such as the toggle switch, rotary switch, mercury switch, push-button switch, reversing switch, relay, and circuit breaker. A common use is control of lighting, where multiple switches may be wired into one circuit to allow convenient control of light fixtures. Switches in high-powered circuits must have special construction to prevent destructive arcing when they are opened.
Security cameras, also known as video surveillance, is the use of video cameras to transmit a signal to a specific place, on a limited set of monitors. It differs from broadcast television in that the signal is not openly transmitted, though it may employ point-to-point (P2P), point-to-multipoint (P2MP), or mesh wired or wireless links. Even though almost all video cameras fit this definition, the term is most often applied to those used for surveillance in areas that require additional security or ongoing monitoring. (Videotelephony is seldom called "CCTV". Surveillance of the public using CCTV is common in many areas around the world. In recent years, the use of body worn video cameras has been introduced as a new form of surveillance, often used in law enforcement, with cameras located on a police officer's chest or head. Video surveillance has generated significant debate about balancing its use with individuals' right to privacy even when in public.
The names of circuit boards are: ceramic circuit board, alumina ceramic circuit board, aluminum nitride ceramic circuit board, circuit board, PCB board, aluminum substrate, high frequency board, thick copper board, impedance board, PCB, ultra-thin circuit board, ultra-thin circuit board Thin circuit boards, printed (copper etching technology) circuit boards, etc. The circuit board makes the circuit miniaturized and intuitive, and plays an important role in the mass production of fixed circuits and the optimization of the layout of electrical appliances. The circuit board can be called Printed Circuit Board PCB, Flexible Printed Circuit board FPC circuit board (FPC circuit board, also known as flexible circuit board Flexible circuit board is a kind of high reliability made of polyimide or polyester film as the base material. It is an excellent flexible printed circuit board. It has the characteristics of high wiring density, light weight, thin thickness and good bendability.) and reechas, the birth and development of Soft and hard combination plate-FPC and PCB, gave birth to The new product of rigid-flex board. Therefore, the flexible and rigid board is a flexible circuit board and a rigid circuit board, which are combined according to the relevant process requirements after pressing and other processes to form a circuit board with FPC characteristics and PCB characteristics. It has a variety of types, such as dehumidifier circuit boards, thermostat circuit boards, water treatment circuit boards, security camera circuit boards, steam oven circuit boards, vacuum cleaner circuit boards, etc.

Here is a fun punky pop band. The video reminds me of 80's video games and Futurama in some odd way.
But what is even better, is the fan video made for this song. These girls are barefoot on a suburban driveway while there is snow on the ground. At points, like when one is lying down on the ground, I am not sure what they depicting; this weirdness makes it all the more interesting.

24th Navajo Nation Council takes office and elects Council Delegate Seth Damon as Speaker Pro Tem
WINDOW ROCK, Ariz. – On Tuesday, the 24th Navajo Nation Council took their oath of office at noon during the 2019 Navajo Nation Inauguration at the Bee Holdzil Fighting Scouts Events Center in Fort Defiance, Ariz.
Following the inaugural event, the 24-member council convened for a special session to consider Legislation No. 0001-19 to select a speaker pro tem. Through a simple majority vote by Council members, Council Delegate Seth Damon (Bááháálí, Chichiltah, Manuelito, Tsé Lichíí', Rock Springs, Tsayatoh) was selected as speaker pro tem and will serve on a temporary basis until a speaker is selected on the opening day of the 2019 Winter Council Session on Monday, Jan. 28.
The speaker serves a two-year term. Speaker Pro Tem Damon thanked his colleagues for supporting his nomination for the temporary speakership, and stressed that he would continue to carry out the administrative functions of the Legislative Branch and work with the Office of the President and Vice President and the Judicial Branch to address the needs of Navajo citizens.
"First, I would like to congratulate my colleagues on the 24th Navajo Nation Council, President Jonathan Nez, and Vice President Myron Lizer. It is important that we work together to move forward to continue serving the Navajo people during this transition, and I also want to thank our Navajo citizens for supporting our leadership at today's inauguration," said Speaker Pro Tem Damon.
Speaker Pro Tem Damon is from the community of Bááháálí, N.M., and also served on the 23rd Navajo Nation Council and chaired the Budget and Finance Committee. His maternal clan is Bit'ahnii and is born for Naaneesht'ézhi Táchii'nii. His maternal grandfather is Áshįįhíí and his paternal grandfather is Tsénahabiłnii.
Council Delegate Kee Allen Begay, Jr. (Low Mountain, Many Farms, Nazlini, Tachee/Blue Gap, Tselani/Cottonwood), who sponsored the legislation, stated that the bill was the first step to ensuring that the Legislative Branch's functions and programs continue to operate during the transition into the 24th Navajo Nation Council. "This legislation paved the way for a very productive Council, and I appreciate all the nominations made by my colleagues today.
Through their vote, they showed their confidence in Delegate Damon to carry out the duties for the Legislative Branch," said Delegate Begay. "I know he will take the appropriate actions to move forward the priorities of the 24th Navajo Nation Council." Delegate Begay congratulated President Nez and Vice President Lizer on the commencement of their terms today, and said despite the weather, the near-capacity attendance of Navajo citizens at the inauguration demonstrated confidence in the new administration. He added that statements made by leadership to work together "hold true" and can address issues facing the Nation such as road maintenance during the winter, the federal government shutdown, and direct services to citizens.

More Portland Museum of Art employees eye unionization in wake of successful vote
Elizabeth Clemente
Portland Museum of Art workers are waiting for the National Labor Relations Board to certify their newly formed bargaining unit this week before they can begin contract negotiations with the museum.
And even before that happens, PMA employees who were not allowed to cast ballots are reportedly preparing a separate unionization drive of their own.
The PMA workers who were eligible voted to join New York-based United Auto Workers Local 2110 by a vote of 16-10, museum spokesperson Graeme Kennedy said April 22.

Maida Rosenstein, president of Local 2110, which represents office, technical, and professional workers, on April 26 said there is a seven-day period before the unit can be formally certified and that her organization will proceed with bargaining as soon as possible.
Rosenstein added she thinks it is a "testament to these workers' courage" that they "stood up" to what she called a "relentless anti-union campaign."
Workers filed a petition to join the union last September and were met with pushback from museum administrators, including a successful appeal by the museum to disqualify gallery ambassadors from voting in the union election because the museum considers them security staff.
Rosenstein said the workers' decision to unionize is a testament to "how strongly people felt they needed a union."
"I just feel tremendous respect and admiration for everything they have done, and we look forward to working with them," she said. "We're hopeful that the museum will take a different approach in negotiations to work with us to get a fair contract."
The PMA's Kennedy said via email the museum accepts the results of the election and looks forward to bargaining "in good faith" with Local 2110.
"We are dedicated to finding common ground throughout this process," Kennedy said. He also said the museum will work with Local 2110 to ensure the museum's "mission and values," including "inclusivity, equity, and transparency," are "reflected in any agreement."
Michaela Flint, a union organizer and former gallery ambassador who was laid off in January, on April 25 said gallery ambassadors and security guards also plan to begin organizing their own union drive, which she plans to help with as much as she can "from the sidelines."
After losing her job in January, Flint said she reapplied for a gallery ambassador position, but did not receive an "automatic reply" about her application being received.
The next day, she said, she heard the museum had "given the job to somebody else instantly."
"I'm very suspicious," Flint said. "The only job left for me is a seasonal job, but obviously I wouldn't be qualified. I highly doubt I'll ever be rehired by the museum."
The museum added five full-time, full-benefit positions to the gallery ambassador program earlier this year, as well as seasonal positions, after laying off several employees. Kennedy said at the time the layoffs were unrelated to the union drive.
Ultimately, Flint said she is "really excited" for her former co-workers, and hopes nurses at Maine Medical Center are also successful in their pursuit of union representations.
"I'm just so happy," she said. "This is history in the making."

GIMP has great flexibility for arranging dialog on your screen. A "dialog" is a moving window which contains options for a tool or is dedicated to a special task. A "dock" is a container which can hold a collection of persistent dialogs, such as the Tool Options dialog, Brushes dialog, Palette dialog, etc. Docks cannot, however, hold non-persistent dialogs such as the Preferences dialog or an Image window.
More simple: the Add tab command in the Tab menu Paragraaf 2.3.2, "Tabmenu".

When the tree-view is View as List, you can use tags. Please see Paragraaf 3.6, "Tagging".

Finally the greatest mystery of all has been solved! I'm talking of course, about the case of the ambiguous phones. One fan of the BBC's Sherlock reboot has finally figured out what phones all of the main cast of the series use. Now it's just a case of figuring out how to make them all receive the same text message at exactly the same time.
Whether or not the Homeless Network using Blackberrys and Windows Phones is a subtle satire on those platforms being… well, a bit rubbish, we're not sure. Similarly, quite how Mycroft can get anything done on a phone with no apps we're not sure – presumably he must get one of his minions to manage his Vines for him instead.
Like all good mysteries there is a twist: When Sherlock was on the roof of the hospital at the end of series 2, as we later found out in series 3, he was using an iPhone 5… yet the end of series 2 was broadcast in January 2012, and the iPhone 5 wasn't released until November/December of that year. Though with a bit of deduction, we can probably assume that it's because of a continuity mix-up when filming the start of series 3 back on the roof, rather than Sherlock having the time to switch to a prototype phone before jumping to his 'death'.
Let's just hope Sherlock doesn't use Apple Maps to navigate, or those taxi rides are going to get even more expensive.
