Kiwi Musicians Promote New Zealand in New Tourism Campaign

Some of our top young musicians are helping promote New Zealand, in a new-look tourism campaign that launched Saturday (13 March) in Australia.
Working in partnership with MTV Australia, Tourism New Zealand is showing young Australians New Zealand through the eyes of Kiwi artists Scribe, the Mint Chicks and Liam Finn.
MTV's 'Guide to New Zealand' follows the Kiwi musicians as they visit some of their favourite restaurants, music venues and surf spots.
Tourism New Zealand Chief Executive Kevin Bowler says the campaign is aimed at 16 to 24-year old Australians who make up a key segment of first time visitors from this market.
"Australia is New Zealand's largest tourism market and we've seen strong growth in visitor numbers over the past year. We know Australians like to come back once they've visited, so we're looking at ways to increase the number of first-time visitors and younger travellers offer an opportunity in this space.
"By working with Kiwi musicians who are well known in Australia, we've been able to create a campaign that highlights the diversity of experiences on offer in New Zealand in a way that will appeal to younger travellers," Mr Bowler said.
The first element of the documentary-style campaign, launched Saturday, features well-known rapper Scribe.
He takes viewers to his favourite dumpling restaurant in Christchurch and to Brighton beach, before heading up the coast to go diving for paua off Kaikoura.
The second element, which launches on 19 March, features Liam Finn who shows viewers around his father Neil Finn's Auckland recording studio and visits Piha and Kerikeri; the Mint Chicks' road trip around the South Island launches on MTV on 27 March.
The whole campaign will run for three months, showing twice-daily between programmes on MTV. Kevin Bowler says the different personalities, passions and viewpoints of the three young musicians mean the campaign has a very personal feel.
"The initiative gives an insight into the lives of these up-and-coming Kiwi artists. They tell a personal story about New Zealand and uncover the kinds of places and experiences you don't read about in the guidebooks."
Scribe's 'Guide to New Zealand' will air on Saturday 13 March on MTV Australia and can be viewed online at www.mtv.com.au.

Home ventilation has been used in one way or another ever since we moved out of the caves and built the first shelter.
Generally back hundreds of years ago homes had that many holes in them that fresh air moved through at all times and were very cold. Our homes were cold because, well they were (sometimes it was and is warmer outside). They are drafty, hard to and expensive to heat, but we had little condensation and little mould and mildew. We even opened our windows to ventilate our NZ home and supply us with fresh air, then rushed around the home before sunset and closed all the windows to "keep the heat in" as my mother said very often over the years. Mmmm, interesting theory but now, proven not quite so correct.
As the years moved on we covered the home with better roofing, better wall cladding and flooring, aluminum windows and started to see the benefits of sealing the home more and more, we again found better ways of heating our homes using wood fires and more recently heat pumps and solar energy, in doing so found we needed to keep the heat in, so we started to install Insulation and Double Glazing where ever possible. As we made each improvement, our homes became more and more susceptible to condensation effectively our home was no longer breathing and the moisture that we produced was not leaving the home, we installed bathroom fans and range hoods for ventilation in our NZ homes, all that does is take steam out of the home drawing more cold damp air in. Now I ask is that the best thing to do? With all these "improvements" we have found we are causing our homes to become even damper and colder and harder to heat than they have been in the past.
All this is making unhealthy homes – they have condensation, mould, damaged window sills, dampness, cold beds and high power bills – which in turn are making un healthy families with all sorts of ongoing illnesses causing time off work and school, lack of concentration, increasing medical bills for both families and the country as a whole. Children, in particular are susceptible to poor indoor air quality, as children develop we are doing them an in justice by not giving them the best health we possibly can.
To help your family to become more alert and healthy and to reduce the maintenance and running cost of your home you need to dry out your home as the first step. This will naturally make your home warmer and virtually remove all condensation mould and mildew.
To do this we have used dehumidifiers – some people still do – they have proved to work, but can be inefficient and expensive to run then you have to keep emptying the 'bucket' and as you dry out the air more damp cold air is pulled into the room, so it becomes an ongoing process. To dehumidify your complete home you would need to put a dehumidifier in each room and let them run all day – many disadvantages there – you would still need to open windows to bring in fresh air. What I've pointed out here is an extreme idea I do not recommend it, however I did come across 1 family that realised the advantages of having 3 dehumidifiers, there power bill has dropped very significantly since installing a New Zealand home ventilation system we supplied that was sized to the home and had the added benefits to suit the family and home.

I'm working my way through the latest annual reports of your favourite FTSE 100 companies, looking for insights into their businesses. Today, it's the turn of mining giant BHP Billiton (LSE: BLT) (NYSE: BBL.US).
BHP Billiton is a 'diversified miner'. The table below shows the company's different businesses, the contribution each makes to total group revenue, and the EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) margins for each division.
I was encouraged to learn that while BHP Billiton is diversified, the two largest divisions — accounting for over half of group revenues — have by far the strongest margins.
Furthermore, the company has said it is actively managing its portfolio to increase the focus on the first four businesses, which means the low-margin aluminium, manganese and nickel division will become increasingly less significant.
In the current environment of falling revenues and profits in the mining sector, much has been made of a slowdown in demand from resource-hungry China. I was interested to learn how important China is to BHP Billiton, and the extent to which the slowdown there has hurt the company's top line.
The table below shows the year-on-year change in BHP Billiton's revenue by geographical location of customer. The company has 10 reporting regions, and the table shows the five that had the biggest negative impact.
China is BHP Billiton's largest customer, accounting for around 30% of total group revenue. With a $2.3bn year-on-year drop in sales, China was also the biggest single contributor to a total group revenue fall of $6.3bn.
However, while the China slowdown was significant for BHP Billiton, it wasn't the be-all and end-all. The developed-world regions of Japan, Europe (ex-UK) and Australia saw larger sales contractions in percentage terms, and together contributed $2.9bn to the total revenue decline.
Like all miners, BHP Billiton has been banging on about driving down costs. Therefore, I was surprised to discover that the number of employees and the cost of employing them have been rising, as the table below shows.
During a two-year period when bottom-line profit has plunged from $24bn to $11bn, employee costs have risen by over £2bn. However, I see that the rise has slowed for the latest year, suggesting management is getting to grips with the situation.
Overall, the things I've learned from BHP Billiton's annual report are positive; and support my view that the company is reasonable value on 11.7 times forecast earnings with a 4.3% dividend yield at a recent share price of 1,861p.
Finally, if you already own shares in BHP Billiton, you may wish to read this free Motley Fool report. You see, our top analysts have pinpointed a select group of FTSE 100 companies as "5 Great Shares To Retire On".

Q: How to turn a sequence into a series? From archimedes formula for $\pi$ I got this series
$$\pi = \lim _{n\to \infty} 2n \sqrt{2-\sqrt{4-\sqrt{2-\sqrt{4-...}}}}$$
Now I can't find the general member formula for this sequence to even check if it's correct using symbolab or something.
Is there a trick to find the general member formula of this sequence or turn this sequence into an infinite series?
And given some infinite series how to turn it into yet another one with the same converging value.
For example how to ultimately get to Leibniz formula for $\frac\pi4=1-\frac13+\frac15+...$

Mexico: Zetas drugs cartel leader caught
duration 9 February 2018
image copyrightAlamy
image captionOfficials confirmed the arrest in a press conference in Mexico City on Friday
A leader of the notorious Zetas drug cartel has been caught in Mexico City, according to Mexican authorities.
José María Guízar Valencia is wanted in the US, which had offered a $5m (£3.6m) reward for his capture.
Known as Z-43, he is a dual US-Mexican citizen and is thought to have run the Zeta's south-eastern operations.
The US state department said he was responsible for "importing thousands of kilograms of cocaine and methamphetamine to the US every year".
On its website, it said the Zetas "have murdered an untold number of Guatemalan civilians during the systematic overtake of the Guatemalan border region with Mexico during recent years".

A timeline of Mexican violence
The alleged kingpin was arrested in Mexico City's Roma neighbourhood, which is known for its hip bars and restaurants.
He was captured "without the use of force", said the head of the National Security Commission, Renato Sales, in a press conference on Friday, when the news was confirmed.
He is now likely to face extradition to the US, on drugs smuggling and money-laundering charges.

image captionThe US state department website describes the California-born drug cartel leader
In 2012, the Zetas was considered the largest drugs gang in Mexico.
However, they have lost ground in recent years, as others, notably the Jalisco New Generation, have expanded to take their east-coast territory.
Arrests of other leaders have also weakened the group, causing internal divisions.
The group, which sprang from the Gulf Cartel, was founded by corrupt members of the military and the police.
Last year was Mexico's most violent year on record, with more than 25,000 murders.
Organised crime is thought to account for nearly three-quarters of those deaths.
Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, a leader of the Sinaloa cartel, was extradited to the US last January, after twice breaking out of Mexican jails.
Earlier this week, a New York judge said jurors would be kept anonymous to protect them from possible retaliations by the extremely violent gang. Guzmán's trial is set to begin in September.
Who are the Zetas?
The Zetas was founded by corrupt members of Mexico's special forces.
More than 30 had been hired by the leader of the Gulf Cartel in the 1990s, but they split to run their own operations in 2010.
The two cartels then clashed violently, particularly in the country's north-east.
The Zetas are known for their brutality, including torturing and decapitating their victims.
Over the years, they have moved beyond drugs to turn their hand at any crime that will bring them money, from cigarette smuggling to human trafficking.
The group uses the letter Z ("zeta" in Spanish) as it is said to correspond with police radio codes.
In 2012, one of the leaders, Heriberto Lazcano Lazcano, known as Z-3, was killed in a shootout with the Mexican Navy. The following year, his replacement, Miguel Ángel Treviño Morales, alias Z-40, was captured. His younger brother, Omar Treviño Morales (Z-42), took over but was also caught in 2015.

Q: Why is HTML in php function not visible in view source function that runs when i want to edit a client status.
// deletes (sets inactive) client
function setClientStatus($client) {

if ($_GET['action'] == "setinactive") {

//database functions
$sql = 'UPDATE clients SET active="0" WHERE id="'. $client .'"';
$result = query($sql);
confirmQuery($result);

//set message to user to display
$_SESSION['error'] = false;
        $msgs[] = "Client was set to inactive and removed from the list!";
        $_SESSION['userMsg'] = $msgs;

}

    if ($_GET['action'] == "setactive") {

//database functions
$sql = 'UPDATE clients SET active="1" WHERE id="'. $client .'"';
$result = query($sql);
confirmQuery($result);

//set message to user to display
$_SESSION['error'] = false;
        $msgs[] = "Client was successfully restored!";
        $_SESSION['userMsg'] = $msgs;

}

//display clients page with changes made
redirect('?page=clients');

}

function that displays the message.
 //function that shows message and styles accordingly
 function message($msgs) {

if(!empty($msgs)) {

        foreach ($_SESSION['userMsg'] as $msg) {
            if ($_SESSION['error'] == false) {
            echo '
'.$msg.'
';
            } else {
                echo '
'.$msg.'
';

            }
        }
    }
            unset($_SESSION['userMsg']);
            unset($_SESSION['error']);
 echo "hello";
}

here is where i call it in my page....
div class="pageContainer">

<?php
    //display messages
message($_SESSION['userMsg']);

?>

Now when everything is run and i select to edit and client status (or add client, edit client as they all have the same message section, just with different message)  i can see the message displayed on the screen.  i have a javascript script that will hid the message after 5 seconds, but it doesn't hide.  after viewing the page source i notice that the section of code is not visible.  again, i can see it clearly see the message that is suppose to be there "Client was set to inactive and removed from the list!" (or whatever message is set to display)  but it is NOT show in the view source html.
pic of page loaded with message
here is the view source.....

** updated **
this small example script renders the html, but my above script doesn't...
function setError() {
        $error[] = "Password field is to short";
            $_SESSION['userMsg'] = $error;
        //return $_SESSION['msg'];

        }

function message($errors){

    if(!empty($errors)) {
        foreach ($_SESSION['userMsg'] as $error) {
            echo $error.'
';
        }
    }
            unset($_SESSION['userMsg']);
}

A: If I get you right, you want to display $msgs, so why you iterate $_SESSION['userMsg'] ?
Probably the $_SESSION['userMsg'] is null or empty. If you want to display the $msgs just iterate it. And later add to session if really needed. In you code, you always unset the $_SESSION['userMsg'] in the end of function, probably it is always null then. I didn't see the $_SESSION['userMsg'] needed here :
//function that shows message and styles accordingly
function message($msgs) {
    if(!empty($msgs)) {
        foreach ($msgs as $msg) {
            if ($_SESSION['error'] == false) {
            echo '
'.$msg.'
';
            } else {
                echo '
'.$msg.'
';
            }
        }
    }
    unset($_SESSION['error']);
    echo "hello";
}

UPDATED
After reading your comments, this is related to javascript problem. You should add the id in
 in order for it's works.
            if ($_SESSION['error'] == false) {
            echo '
'.$msg.'
';
            } else {
                echo '
'.$msg.'
';
            }


visualizations of tomorrow — to imagine the future posses a challenge as it is easy to concentrate on what's wrong instead of trying to visualize a better tomorrow. however, it it's worth to do it because as carl sagan said, 'imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were,' and envisioning is the first step towards change. this year we received several thousand submissions from our readers, with designers, artists and architects from across the globe sending through a diverse range of works that we have shared with our audience over the last 12 months.
we believe that maintaining an open dialogue with creatives is extremely important, and we are happy to showcase the high level of original projects of our readership. from volcano-shaped structures that can dim the effect the sun has over ice-cold regions to an ever-growing floating city made of plastic, we highlight 10 visualizations of tomorrow from our reader submissions of 2018.
this year, pierpaolo lazzarini envisioned wayaland — a floating city made of modular pyramids that offers different living and entertainment facilities including hotels, shops, spas, gyms, bars and cinemas. completed with solar panels and water turbines for energy supply, the project aims to provide a new offshore living experience within a self-sustainable community.
with their latest conceptual project, solidsprout reimagined the landscape of bangkok, thailand. the idea was to attempt to visualize how the city might look if shopping malls were replaced with green spaces. the design aims to raise people's awareness about the development of greenery in the urban context. in the concept images, mountains of recreational areas are recreated and placed around the iconic buildings and at the exact spots where the existing department stores are located.
architecture studio PARQ envisioned cloud maker, a series of giant, volcano-shaped structures that can dim the effect the sun has over ice-cold regions, or precipitate rain over desertified locations, by projecting pure steam into the atmosphere to create bright clouds. to generate the steam, these structures are to be placed on top of oceans, extracting hydrogen and oxygen from the water through electrolysis and burning it up towards the atmosphere through a rocket-shaped converging nozzle.
celebrating what would be paul rudolph's 100th birthday, designer lasse lyhne-hansen revisited one of the late american architect's most famous unbuilt proposals: the lower manhattan expressway — one of the last mega plans radically transforming new york city.
in 1967, rudolph was commissioned by the ford foundation to do a study on the implications of the LOMEX, as it was abbreviated and known back then, a robert moses proposal for a Y-shaped corridor that would have destroyed much of what we now know as soho and tribeca. rudolph's findings led him to believe that the city did not need a road that would sever midtown from downtown but instead, a building spanning the entire width of manhattan.
AKQA london — together with senan lee and pansy aung from salt and pepper creative studio — brought jobs of the future to life in a series of conceptual images for MiSK global foundation, a platform set up to educate youth. as the world economic forum recently predicted that 65% of children in school today will have jobs that don't currently exist, the creative team decided to fantasize about what we're going to do in the not so distant future.
preoccupied with the issue of air pollution, amsterdam-based designer angelo renna proposes to build an artificial mountain to make the environment cleaner. made of soil excavated from the construction site of the railway tunnel connecting turin to lyon, the 90-meters-high 'sponge mountain' will be able to absorb the CO2 from the atmosphere.
australia-based studio freischärler proposed the united plastic nation, an ever-growing, floating city which collects and recycles plastic from the oceans. the project imagines a self-sufficient structure built with 3D-printed materials produced by a swarm of robotic drones and sustained with food grown in vertical aquaponic farms, water and waste that is cycled through closed systems, and energy produced by waves.
new york-based architecture and technology company AI spaceFactory presented marsha (MARS HAbitat), a 3D-printed visionary verticle housing on mars. the project marks a radical departure from previous habitat schemes typified by low-lying domes or buried structures. where structures on earth are designed primarily for gravity and wind, unique conditions on mars led to a structure optimized to handle internal atmospheric pressure and structural stresses: a vertical egg-like container with a minimal footprint. this innovation challenges the conventional image of 'space age' architecture by focusing on the creation of highly habitable spaces tuned to the demands of a mars mission.
MAUD's 'hsinta cultural and ecological electri-city' competition proposal is in response to the future evolution of the hsinta power plant development plan in taiwan. the proposal aims to provide a development framework to reduce the negative impact such as air pollution and biological disconnection on site. the plan will also create a new face for the island's green energy and a frontier global citizen to protect our environment.
specialized in fiction-making and in visualizing unbuilt architecture, david lambert illustrated the salvation of bangladesh from being flooded with saltwater in 2023. according to his graduation project, bangladeshi people can tame salt, their key enemy responsible for the biotic transformation of the country and the disappearance of good soil. how? transforming it into growth material.

Yet Hokk has chanced on how to go away lower than for strong, and as soon as he crosses forbidden limitations to trace Elia down within the mountains, they ultimately break out and fly away to Above.

As she digs deeper, scandalous secrets and techniques are published, threatening to damage every thing Elia has been attempting to do to avoid wasting Hokk, herself, and her circle of relatives from the forces that will see them eliminated.

Orthodox icon of Saint Helen, Equal to Apostles.
Commemorated May 21.
Saint Helen was the mother of St Contantine the Great, and was probably born at Drepanum (Helenopolis) in Asia Minor to parents of humble means. She married Constantius Chlorus, and their son Constantine was born in 274. Constantius divorced her in 294 in order to further his political ambition by marrying a woman of noble rank.
After he became emperor, Constantine showed his mother great honor and respect, granting her the imperial title Augusta.After Constantine became the sole ruler of the Western Roman Empire, he issued the Edict of Milan in 313 which guaranteed religious tolerance for Christians. St Helen, who was a Christian, may have influenced him in this decision.
In 323, when he became the sole ruler of the entire Roman Empire, he extended the provisions of the Edict of Milan to the Eastern half of the Empire. After three hundred years of persecution, Christians could finally practice their faith without fear. The emperor deeply revered the victory-bearing Sign of the Cross of the Lord, and also wanted to find the actual Cross upon which our Lord Jesus Christ was crucified.
For this purpose he sent his own mother, the holy Empress Helen, to Jerusalem, granting her both power and money. Patriarch Macarius of Jerusalem and St Helen began the search, and through the will of God, the Life-Creating Cross was miraculously discovered in 326. (The account of the finding of the Cross of the Lord is found under the Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross, September 14).
The Orthodox Church commemorates the Uncovering of the Precious Cross and the Precious Nails by the Holy Empress Helen on March 6. While in Palestine, the holy empress did much of benefit for the Church. She ordered that all places connected with the earthly life of the Lord and His All-Pure Mother, should be freed of all traces of paganism, and she commanded that churches should be built at these places. The emperor Constantine ordered a magnificent church in honor of Christ's Resurrection to be built over His tomb.
St Helen gave the Life-Creating Cross to the Patriarch for safe-keeping, and took part of the Cross with her for the emperor. After distributing generous alms at Jerusalem and feeding the needy (at times she even served them herself), the holy Empress Helen returned to Constantinople, where she died in the year 327. Because of her great services to the Church and her efforts in finding the Life-Creating Cross, the empress Helen is called the Equal of the Apostles.

Governor John Lonyangapuo blamed the government for failing to come up with long-term plans to address resettlement of Mau residents.
Lonyangapuo said evictees have been exposed to the cold July weather and rains, warning national exam candidates will be affected.
Leaders from the North Rift region have cautioned leaders over politicising Mau evictions.
The leaders faulted the government for the "abrupt" eviction of people living in the Mau after several houses were torched in bid to eject the residents from the water tower.
West Pokot Governor John Lonyangapuo blamed the government, saying it should have devised a resettlement plan before evicting Mau residents.
Lonyangapuo said evictees have been exposed to the cold July weather and rain, warning national exam candidates will be affected.
The governor urged politicians to exercise caution and avoid uttering words that may create havoc among communities residing in the Mau area.
Prof Lonyangapuo challenged the national government to use the same people being evicted to plant trees in the forest as it looks for resettlement lands.
OTIENO: Are children in Mau Forest of a lesser God?
The governor was speaking at Chepareria in Pkomo, two days after Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen toured Mau and made comments that have sparked outrage.
Mr Murkomen linked the truce between President Uhuru Kenyatta and opposition figure Raila Odinga to the Mau evictions.
Now, the Igembe North MP Maore Maoka has called for the removal of Mr Murkomen from his position as Senate majority leader over the Mau remarks.
Speaking to the Nation, Mr Maoka said Mr Murkomen's remarks were personal attacks on President Kenyatta.
Mr Murkomen asked illegal settlers from Kosia and Nkoben areas to go back to their homes in the Mau forest and threatened police officers conducting the evictions with disciplinary action.
Mr Maoka said the Senate Majority leader had crossed the red line.
"From his tone and comments, Mr Murkomen should be relieved of his duties as majority leader immediately. He is supposed to be the face and the voice of government," Mr Maoka said.
Pokot South MP David Pkosing also faulted the government for evicting people without a resettlement plan.
"Residents have no food and the move can lead to lawlessness. They should conduct the program with humanity…," he said.
Gatundu South MP was responding to remarks on Mau evictions made by Senator Kipchumba Murkomen.

In January 2015 Plunkett Raysich Architects announced it was moving back to the greater Downtown area. The company was founded in 1935 and located Downtown, but moved to the suburbs in the late 1960s and later to the city's far Northwest Side. Now it's coming back to where it started.
Much has been made of Northwestern Mutual's decision to build its huge new addition Downtown, but there is also a long list of companies that have decided to move from the suburbs to Downtown or Walker's Point in just the last few years, including Stormwater Solutions Engineering (from Pewaukee in 2012), Corvisa Services (Wauwatosa, 2012), Natural Resources Technology (Pewaukee, 2013), Readers Digest (Greendale, 2014), Irgens (Wauwatosa, 2014), HSA Bank (Glendale, 2014) and Stark Investments (St. Francis, 2015).
Charles "Chad" Wilkins, head of HSA Bank, told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that its move to Schlitz Park in Downtown embraces "a great location" where "all of the amenities will help us attract new talent." He noted the proximity to downtown restaurants and entertainment, the RiverWalk and access to public transit.
In the last decade, from 2004 to 2014, developers built 6,348 new residential units in greater Downtown, city statistics show, and an additional 765 units are under construction. This occurred despite a drastic slowdown in real estate development from 2008-2013, due to the Great Recession.
With added residential density, there are more potential customers for restaurants and bars and other nightlife. Within a ten-block radius of 1st and National is the hottest restaurant scene in all of metro Milwaukee, and Plunkett Raysich's new headquarters will be on S. Water St., "with all these restaurants within walking distance for lunch," Raysich notes.
The increase in residential units in greater Downtown goes back to the 1990s, and began under Mayor John Norquist. Since 2000, the downtown population has increased by nearly 26 percent, the downtown Business Improvement District (BID 21) found. "In 2012, the media age of downtown residents was 29.9 years old," the BID's website notes.
As for business, the BID now counts 1,200 businesses in the downtown area — and the number is growing.
The BID's 2009 study of 46 small business CEOs had very similar results. "Small companies choose to locate downtown for the same reasons as larger companies. They cite the classic advantages – proximity to clients and workforce, centrality, vibrancy, and prestige – as their reasons for being downtown," the study noted.

While the emphasis in recent years has been on adding businesses to greater Downtown, in the period from 2006 to 2012, the city was adding a long list of businesses to the redeveloped Menomonee Valley. Many of those companies relocated from the suburbs, including Proven Direct (from Menomonee Falls, 2007), Derse Inc. (Wauwatosa, 2008), Taylor Dynamometer Inc. (New Berlin, 2008), Zimmerman Architectural Studios Inc. (Wauwatosa, 2009), J.F. Ahern Co. (Menomonee Falls, 2012), and a more recent addition, Solaris (West Allis, 2015).
Much of that was land owned by the city. Future development will come in the eastern portion of the Menomonee Valley, mostly privately held land, for which the city has high hopes. This could help knit together the Menomonee Valley and Walker's Point, which is attracting companies to the Water Technology Hub near S. 2nd Street.
Besides the companies moving into the city from the suburbs, there are many that have moved from outlying parts of the city to greater Downtown, or who have always been in the area and have decided to expand. One such company is Dohmen, which has been located in the Third Ward since 1858 and moved to a temporary headquarters in Menomonee Falls while it completely redesigned and renovated a building in the Third Ward, which will be its new headquarters.
The biggest problem in Downtown remains western Wisconsin Ave., which has been a failure for many years, but here, too, a sudden increase in residential development may provide a solution. Four new projects are planned: The Posner Building at N. Plankinton Ave. and W. Wisconsin Ave., the Germania Building on N. Plankinton Ave. and W. Wells St., the old Blue Cross Blue Shield Building on Michigan (The 401), and another development on N. 7th St. and W. Michigan St. (700 Lofts) will all bring more residential units to this part of Downtown. This will bring more young members of the workforce that may attract more businesses and spur more retail as well. Who knows? Maybe it will even provide some momentum to help revive or replace the forlorn Grand Avenue Mall.

India: Overview Of The Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Bill, 2022
by Sanjay Notani (Mumbai), Vinay Butani (Mumbai), Naghm Ghei (Mumbai) and Divyashree Suri (Mumbai)
Economic Laws Practice
The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) on November 18, 2022, has released its much-awaited personal data protection bill, i.e., the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Bill, 2022 (DPDP Bill) for public comments until December 17, 2022.
The DPDP Bill, as compared to its predecessor versions is significantly a simpler version and once in force, aims to amend and omit some of the key provisions of the [Indian] Information Technology Act, 2000 (IT Act) and provisions of the Right to Information Act' 2005.
Summarized below is our note addressing some of the key questions which the DPDP Bill addresses.
What is the legislative scope of the DPDP Bill?
Applies: The DPDP Bill applies to personal data1 that is: collected within India (i) through online mode; and (ii) offline mode but is then digitized; and collected outside India, if such processing is in connection with profiling of, or activity of offering goods or services to data principals2 within India.
Does not apply: The DPDP Bill, presently, does not seek to cover (i) non-personal data or anonymized data; (ii) offline personal data; (iii) nonautomated processing of personal data; (iv) personal data processed by an individual for any personal or domestic purpose; (v) and personal data about an individual that is contained in a record that has been in existence for at least 100 years.
The DPDP Bill also clarifies that even if (pursuant to a contract) the processing of personal data is happening in India BUT (i) the data principal does not belong to the Indian territory, (b) the personal data does not belong to the Indian territory and (c) the transaction is taking place outside the Indian territory; the Bill shall not be applicable.
Are data principals required to be provided with prior notice for collection of their personal data?
Yes, the DPDP Bill states that, unless where obtaining consent is not practicable or inadvisable due to pressing concerns, data principals are required to be provided with an itemized notice/request in clear and plain language that describes the personal data that is sought to be collected along with the purpose of such collection.
The request by the data fiduciaries3, as per the DPDP Bill, is required to be either in English or any local Indian language specified under the Eighth Schedule to the Constitution of India (as understood by the data principal).
In situations where obtaining such personal data is impracticable or inadvisable due to pressing concerns, the DPDP Bill has introduced the concept of 'deemed consent' wherein this concept may apply in situations such as (i) when a user shares their name and number when reserving a table; (ii) for the state to perform its function under any law; (iii) court orders; (iv) medical emergency; (v) epidemics; (vi) disasters; (vii) employment; (viii) public interest (and which includes for mergers, acquisitions, any other similar combinations) etc., and (ix) fair and reasonable cases.
Will the requirement to obtain consent from data principals be applicable retrospectively to cases where the personal data was already collected from data principals?
Yes, the DPDP Bill states that the requirement to obtain consent in accordance with the DPDP Bill will be applicable retrospectively where, if data principals have provided their consent to collection of their personal data prior to commencement [of the DPDP Act], then all data fiduciaries would be required to furnish a notice to such data principals setting out the description of personal data [already] collected from them and the purpose for which such personal data was processed. However, it is pertinent to note that presently, the DPDP Bill does not prescribe a
timeline within which the data fiduciary is required to comply with the said requirement but all it requires is that the same be obtained "as soon as reasonably practicable".
What are the obligations of data fiduciary(ies)under the DPDP Bill?
The DPDP Bill sets out a specific provision listing all obligations of data fiduciary and holds the data fiduciary ultimately responsible for processing personal data. The DPDP Bill further requires the data fiduciary(ies) to ensure that all reasonable safeguards are taken to prevent personal data breach, including for any processing undertaken on its behalf by data processors4.
The DPDP Bill also sets out the concept of a 'significant data fiduciary(es)' based on the significant volume and sensitivity of personal data that will be collected by such data fiduciary including risk of harm to data principals. The DPDP Bill requires that such significant data fiduciary is required to comply with additional obligations such as appointment of a data protection officer residing in India, appointment of an independent data auditor, undertake data protection impact assessments and ensure compliance with other measures as may be prescribed.
What are the obligations of data fiduciary(ies) when collecting personal data from children?
The DPDP Bill states that in case personal data from individuals, who are less than 18 years of age, is proposed to be processed, then a prior verifiable parental consent (including consent of a guardian) shall be required to be obtained. The DPDP Bill also states that data fiduciaries are not permitted to undertake tracking and behavioral monitoring of children or sending targeted advertisements directed at children and any kind of processing that may cause significant 'harm' to children (as may be prescribed) is barred.
What are the obligations of data processors under the DPDP Bill?
Whilst the responsibility always remains on the data fiduciary (vis-à-vis the data principal), the DPDP Bill provides that data processors have a duty to protect personal data in their possession or control by taking reasonable security safeguards to prevent breach of personal data.
Who has the authority to determine non-compliances and impose penalties under the legislation?
The DPDP Bill proposes to establish a Data Protection Board of India (Board), which will be an independent body operating digitally (to the extent possible) and be responsible for determining non-compliances under the legislation and imposing penalties. The DPDP Bill gives powers to the Board to take actions (as prescribed under the DPDP Bill) either on suo moto basis or on receipt of complaint. The DPDP Bill clarifies that every order made by the Board will be enforceable akin to a decree made by the civil court and any appeal against an order of the Board would lie before the jurisdictional High Court.
Can personal data of data principal be transferred outside India?
Yes, the DPDP Bill permits cross-border transfer of all personal data, however, to countries or territories which are only notified by the Central Government. The DPDP Bill stipulates that while notifying these territories, the Central Government may assess any factors that it may consider necessary.5
In which case, does the DPDP Bill set out any provision(s) regarding data localization?
Presently, the DPDP Bill does not contain any provisions relating to data localization and is silent on whether the storage of data outside India would be permitted by law. Separately, the provisions on cross-border transfer contained in the DPDP Bill would also be subject to other laws governing data transfer in the country6 and therefore, an assessment of relevant factors by the Central Government would precede such a notification.
How different is the DPDP Bill from its 2019 version in respect of the provisions relating to cross border data transfer?
Tabulated below is the comparison between the DPDP Bill and the 2019 version of the data protection bill in relation to cross-border data transfer clauses:
S. No. Particulars DPDP Bill (2022)7 PDP Bill (2019)8
1. Nature of Personal Data allowed to be transferred across borders All personal data Sensitive personal data and Critical personal data9
2. Countries to which cross-border transfer of personal data is permitted Countries or jurisdictions notified by the central government Country or such entity or class of entity in a country or, an international organisation notified by the central government, after consultation with the Data Protection Authority
3. Factors to be considered while notifying eligible countries or entities Any factors that the central government may consider necessary On the basis of its finding that sensitive personal data shall be subject to an "adequate level of protection", having regard to the applicable laws and international agreements.
Given the substantial discretion the DPDP Bill has granted to the Central Government, India has large scope of negotiations on cross-border data transfers with its trading partners where it may negotiate 'adequacy' agreements with its trading partners as part of the free trade agreements and may also enter into digital economy agreements with different countries of strategic importance.
What are the penalties that are prescribed for non-compliance under the DPDP Bill?
The penalties under the DPDP Bill range from up to INR 10,000 to up to INR 250 Crores for different offences. However, the DPDP Bill also sets out the factors that needs to be considered while determining the penalty.
Unlike the 2018 version of the bill which had set out a definite implementation period, the DPDP Bill states that different dates may be appointed for different provisions and therefore some provisions may be implemented in a phased manner. At the outset, it is also important to note that whilst MeitY in its explanatory note10 to the DPDP Bill claims to have incorporated the best practices adopted from various international personal data protection laws, the DPDP Bill, in relation to some of the significant obligation(s), continues to have clauses saying "as may be prescribed" or its equivalence. Therefore, no doubt the DPDP Bill tones down some contentious clauses which caused industry pushback, particularly data mirroring and data localization requirements. One will have to, however, wait and watch MeitY's responses and clarifications and clauses where the MeitY has yet to prescribe.
1. The DPDP Bill defines 'personal data' as any data about an individual who is identifiable by or in relation to such data
2. The DPDP Bill defines 'data principals' as the individual to whom the personal data relates and where such individual is a child includes the parents or lawful guardian of such a child
3. The DPDP Bill defines 'data fiduciaries' as entities determining the purpose and means of processing of personal data
4. The DPDP Bill defines 'data processors' as any person who processes personal data on behalf of a data fiduciary
5. Clause 17, Draft Digital Data Protection Bill, 2022
6. For example, the payments data localization requirement notified by RBI vide circular DPSS.CO.OD.No 2785/06.08.005/2017-18 dated April 06, 2018
8. Clause 33 and 34,
9. Only to persons or entities engaged in health or emergency services, and such transfer is necessary for prompt action

They have the capability to capture more of the poignant moments that can sometimes be missed by still photos. Calgary Wedding Videographer Karyn Lee can record these special moments and compile them into a magical wedding film that you'll cherish for the rest of your lives together.
Wedding Films can either consist of voices overlaid with a music selection, or a simple music selection with no voiceovers – this is entirely up to the couple!
Each wedding film is as unique as each wedding, and we want ensure we are recording everything that is special about your day. That's why each consultation includes a discussion about schedule, important guests and events that are occurring during your day. A lot of thought goes into planning the very best ways to film these moments, and we are excited to hear about any and all details about your special day!
Equipped with three dSLR cameras, an arsenal of lenses, and a drone with 4k recording abilities, Rocket Pop Film Studio is ready to film your wedding – in Calgary, Banff, or worldwide!
A professional videographer will take the defining moments of your wedding and creatively transform them into a timeless and meaningful keepsake of your special day. Perfect for sharing with family and friends or posting to your website, a video will help to tell your heart-warming story in a modern yet sentimental and touching fashion. Calgary Wedding Videographer Karyn Lee can help guide you through the ins and outs of your wedding film.
A three-to-five minute Cinematic Highlight Film consists of the most basic highlights of your day. It typically includes scenes of you getting ready, the ceremony, and the formal portraits, up until your first dance. A Cinematic Highlight Film doesn't typically require you to book any additional time outside of standard portraits. For a very large portion of your day, you won't even notice us there!
All wedding films include an music track that is suited to your day. Couples can be fitted with recording devices so that an audio track of your vows can be added to the audio component. However, some couples prefer not to have their voices recorded, and that's okay too – your wedding video is about you and your preferences!
Karyn Lee will follow you throughout your day, and film what is occurring naturally. Only during formal portraits will Karyn spend a few minutes guiding you through some poses for filming. As an experienced wedding photographer as well, she is very familiar with the ins and outs of your photographer's day, and can work together with your photographer to maximize your portrait and filming experience.
A six-to-ten minute Extended Cinematic Highlight Film expands on the standard Highlight Wedding Film by including even more memories and moments from your wedding day. It begins with filming clips from you getting ready, through the ceremony, and along with the photographer during formal portraits. Because the time length is extended, we typically stay through speeches, the first dance and a little into the party! An Extended Film does require a small amount of additional time and coaching.
Extended Highlight Films sometimes include the couple reading letters to each other while getting ready, and an audio track of a portion of your ceremony over your music track. Couples are fitted with discrete recording devices for the day – once they are in place, you can forget all about them!
Following you throughout the day, Karyn will spend a few minutes guiding you through some poses for filming while getting ready and during formal portraits. We will work closely with your photographer to develop a schedule that accommodates all your portrait requests, while ensuring we are able to film everything we need for your Extended Highlight Film.
In addition to your highlight film, Rocket Pop Film Studio offers full filming of the wedding ceremony and speeches.
For a full wedding ceremony film, a camera is placed in a discrete location and set to film the entire duration of your wedding vows. This film is then colour corrected and included on your custom USB drive.
Additionally, full coverage of the speeches can be added to your cinematic film package. Those giving the speeches will need to be fitted for a recording device just before they give their speech, or if speeches are set to take place from a set podium, a recording device can be placed there for all to use. The speech films will be fully colour corrected and included on your USB drive with your Cinematic Film.
Rocket Pop Film Studio is dedicated to making sure your wedding day runs as smoothly as possible, and we are happy to discuss any custom package requirements with you.
Karyn Lee is a wedding videographer located just south of Calgary, Alberta in beautiful downtown High River.

Griefing – zachowanie graczy spotykane w grach multiplayer polegające na szkodzeniu otoczeniu. Termin pochodzi od angielskiego słowa grief (czyli żal, zgryzota) i może być tłumaczony na "przysparzać komuś powodów do żalu, zgryzoty, smutku". Griefing jest synonimem wandalizmu.

Do przykładowych zachowań klasyfikowanych jako griefing należą:
 bratobójczy ogień, czyli zabijanie postaci będących naszymi potencjalnymi sojusznikami
 udzielanie fałszywych wskazówek i porad (w grach gdzie możliwa jest komunikacja poprzez chat)
 kradzież artefaktów zdobytych przez innych graczy.

Takie zachowania spotykają się z niechęcią innych graczy oraz zdecydowanym działaniem operatorów gier. Konta takich osób mogą być zablokowane lub nawet kasowane.

This site is great for finding pubs where you are able to watch spurs. Especially in the "big" cities.
Yea, good for pubs. but crap for real information.
At least it was when I actually used it, haven't done for a couple of years because it just never updated.
What are we supposed to post here, really?
Talk about the Norwegian Tippeligaen and Adeccoligaen - and even the National team?
Maybe you could contribute to it rather than criticise it - a site is only as good as its members and their contributions.
Although the site is in Norwegian, can people start threads in English if they have questions about matches etc in Norway? I've been led to believe that your English is quite good in Norway?
Welcome back, ERO - on shore leave?
Well GDG, back in the days when I used it (or more precisely: looking into now and again) there was no forum, no ... nothing, apart from the front page that it seemed like was only updated after matches.
How about now? I know there are Spurs fans in Norway, even ERO is there, do you guys meet for matches?
Have you ever thought of arranging a meet? Just an idea.
I think there is always a floor on Scotsman where spurs fans meet when there is a game on..
Good man, do that, it makes it a bit more interesting and may entice other people in. That way you start to build your own crew over there too. Don't forget to introduce the Spurs in Norway to SC, will you?
Too bad! Are me, You , ERO and Spursking the only "active" norwegians in here?
Think there's a guy called NOR-ENG Yid or something like that, think I've seen that name occasionally. I'd expect he was Norwegian.
Also a guy called Stemark, not sure if he is.
Hmmm. i might have to start using TV more then.. Ive only posted like 3 times in that forum! SC is much better!
I see you call yourself "The SC Metalhead".. does that mean you hang out at Garage in Bergen ?


Biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch, or BPD-DS, is technically a type of gastric bypass surgery, but it's less common than Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. The BPD-DS is for more obese patients. It's a two-surgery process with a partial gastrectomy followed by the BPD-DS procedure.
In the partial gastrectomy before BPD-DS, only about half of your stomach is removed, compared to about 85% of your stomach in a vertical sleeve gastrectomy. This surgery gives the patient a chance to lose some weight in the weeks before the second surgery.
In the second surgery, your small intestine is divided into two parts. One part, the alimentary limb, gets connected to the bottom of your stomach. The rest of your small intestine, now called the biliopancreatic limb, is attached to the bile duct. Food travels down the alimentary limb into your colon, without being absorbed in the biliopancreatic limb. Digestive juices are free to flow from your biliopancreatic limb to your alimentary limb. This means food is digested (broken down), but not absorbed (taken into your body).
Restrictive: The BPD-DS reduces your stomach size by 50%. Its size after surgery is only four to five ounces, so it doesn't hold as much food as it did before surgery, when you had your entire stomach. You get full sooner and are less likely to eat too many calories.
Malabsorptive: Nutrient absorption decreases because food bypasses part of the small intestine and because your digestive juices are rerouted. Even though food is broken in your gastrointestinal tract, it's not completely absorbed into your body. Therefore, you get fewer calories and nutrients.

Tyndall Begins Cleanup and Evaluation of Aircraft, Will Start Allowing Families to Return
The Air Force on Tuesday has started allowing families to return to Tyndall AFB, Fla., for short periods of time so they can retrieve valuables and take pictures of damage to their homes, USAF head of public affairs Brig. Gen. Ed Thomas said. The base was largely destroyed last week when the Catagory 4 Hurricane Michael ripped through, causing "catastrophic damage" to many base facilities as well as family housing. Up to 19 F-22 Raptors were left behind to ride out the storm, but USAF officials said on Tuesday the Raptors were bnot destroyed. On Wednesday, airmen will begin to pull F-22s out of destroyed hangars so they can determine how badly the Raptors are damaged, while civil engineers begin construction of temporary hangars.

Dunford: Fight Against ISIS "Far From Over" as the Group Proves to be Resilient
The US-led coalition and partnered nations have made "encouraging" progress in the fight against ISIS, but the group still has a resilient presence in Iraq and Syria, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Joseph Dunford said on Tuesday. Speaking at the Countering Violent Extremist Organizations Chiefs of Defense Conference at JB Andrews, Md., Dunford said ISIS only has about 2 percent of the territory it once had, and its access to resources has been "greatly reduced." The group is getting about 100 new foreign fighters per month, and US-backed fighters are detaining hundreds of the fighters, he said, adding that "ISIS is far from defeated." Also on Tuesday, US Army Col. Sean Ryan, spokesman for Combined Joint Task Force-Operation Inherent Resolve, told reporters that ISIS is a "very resilient enemy," holed up in areas with supplies and tunnels that make it hard for the coalition and US-backed fighters to target them. However, the coalition is "degrading them every day, not just killing" by taking away weapons and logistical support. Ten months ago, the coalition kicked off its final phase of the fight against ISIS in the Middle Euphrates River Valley, but the group still lingers because ISIS, from the beginning, knew their last fight would come down to this area and planned "to be able to sustain," said Ryan. —Brian Everstine

Q: How to submit form every 10 seconds? Can't find right syntax. How to submit form (or imitate click on submit button) every 10 seconds? The page doesn't reload, so I need a loop.

A: <script>
 setInterval("$('form').submit()",10000);
</script>

A: You need to use setTimeout() and an $.ajax() call to do the submit itself.
You can avoid the $.ajax() call if the submit returns to the same form.

A: If you are submitting your own page, there's no need to do a real form post, as it reloads the page. Use an Interval with Ajax calls.
It sounds like, however, that you're re-posting someone else's page.
For demonstration, here's what your target page might look like:
<form method="POST">
  <input name="name" value="123">
  <input type="submit">
</form>

When the form is posted, the following fields are sent to the server. What you do here, is to emulate that page with your own page, but with a twist:
<form id="form" method="POST">
  <input name="name" value="123">
  <input type="submit">
</form>
<script>
  document.getElementById('form').submit();
</script>

Call the above page poster.htm. Now embed it in an iframe, dynamically:
<iframe id="autopost"></iframe>
<script>
setInterval(function(){
  if (!document.version) document.version=1;
  document.version++;
  document.getElementById('autopost').src='poster.htm?v='+document.version;
},10000);
</script>

The version number is there to prevent caching.

Business News The New Bucherer 1888 TimeMachine Is Open And Ready To Dazzle Midtown Manhattan Again
From The Audemars Piguet Archives: 8 Things You Didn't Know About The Origin Of The Royal Oak
Introducing Zenith Enters The World Of EXTREME E Electric Racing With The Mechanical Defy Extreme Carbon (Live Pics, Pricing)
One to Watch Have No Fear, Studio Underd0g Is Here (To Make Watches Fun Again)
CEO Ira Melnitsky explains why you'll want to come for the watches and stay for the wine.
Laurie Kahle
If you've been wandering forlornly past the old TimeMachine building, wondering when the door might open and you'd be able to browse for watches in person once again, listen up. Today, it's official: Tourneau and Bucherer announced the opening of the Bucherer 1888 TimeMachine American flagship store in the former digs of the Tourneau TimeMachine at 12 East 57th Street in New York City. Located a hop, skip, and a jump from the new Vacheron Constantin flagship, the immersive space offers art, beverages, and of course, watches, in a luxe setting. With in-person shopping picking back up, the new Buchere 1888 TimeMachine is a perfect return to the fun and glamour of watch-shopping.
Switzerland's Bucherer acquired Tourneau in 2018, which set the planning in motion to re-envision the beloved space as a groundbreaking, immersive retail experience for 21st-century watch buyers. After one and a half years of construction, those ideas have come to fruition. And they were well worth the wait.
The expansive space occupies almost 19,000 square feet, spanning three floors with bars, lounge spaces, and a library. A façade of tall windows allows natural light to illuminate the interior with a warm neutral color palette, custom fixtures and furnishings, and a mix of materials that includes marble, stone, wood, and metal.
Gone are the typical glass cases with salespeople on one side and customers on the other, replaced by more interactive spaces where clients can view watches in a more leisurely atmosphere with an emphasis on hospitality. Rather than stand at a counter, clients can try on watches at a bar while sipping wine selected by Sotheby's.
Among nearly 40 brands on display, the house brand Carl F. Bucherer along with Rolex, Patek Phillippe, and Cartier are featured prominently on the ground floor. The store also marks the American debut of the Bucherer Blue collection featuring collaborative special editions produced with partner brands.
"We think the store is like no other," Ira Melnitsky, CEO of Tourneau and President of Bucherer USA says, during a recent phone conversation, when we asked about the evolution of watch stores and more.
HODINKEE: What sets this store apart from others?
Melnitsky: Everything in the store was produced custom, one of a kind, with the emphasis on our client, our hospitality, and our passion for timepieces. We didn't just set out to build a beautiful store, we set out to change the way we do business.
We intentionally created something different in the space, where people can join us in this shared passion. For example, the store has three bars, where we can share a glass of wine or a cappuccino with our clients. It has a working fireplace and a library where we can share a story. There's also a three-story wall with a mosaic video screen where we can share content.
How has in-person watch-shopping evolved?
Historically, I think watch retailing was transactional: We have the timepieces, come see us, and we'll sell you one. For us, it has evolved into an experience. People come to show off their watches, they come to see what's new, they come because they share the same passion for watches that we have, and the space reflects that.
We are here to sell watches, ultimately, but we don't want to make it only about the transactions, we want to make it about the relationships we all have with each other and the timepieces.
What surprises are in store for customers?
When you walk in, there is a common area that we call the everchanging platform – today, it has a custom $1.88 million Bucherer Blue Harley Davidson.
Carl F. Bucherer made a New York limited edition watch of 30 pieces exclusively for the store opening, and some of our brand partners created Bucherer Blue pieces for the opening as well. In addition, we've created exclusive high jewelry for the opening – some U.S.- and New York-themed.
There is also artwork from many notable artists with a connection to New York City, including Julian Schnabel, Man Ray, Joel Sternfeld, and others. It's a curated collection that is New York-based, which was appropriate for our reopening, but it will rotate.
How important are pre-owned watches in the mix?
Pre-owned is actually an incredible department – it's featured prominently on the concourse level, surrounded by a lounge and adjacent to a beautiful marble bar. You'll find what we call the open-kitchen concept, where we have watchmakers working behind glass, similar to what you would see in a fine restaurant.
It's a category we've believed in for a very long time. One of the reasons is that we also very strongly believe in the after-sales service function in watches. I think they go hand in hand – one part of pre-owned watches is acquiring the watches and another part is making sure they are serviced and well cared for, and, in our case, warrantied for two years.
How do you introduce Americans to the Bucherer brand?
Bucherer was founded in 1888, so there are more than 130 years of history. What is truly unique is it has been continuously family-operated for its entire history, and it's Swiss-based in an industry that is heavily Swiss-based.
I have described Tourneau's relationship with Bucherer as a perfect marriage, or one plus one equals more than two. We have a real shared set of values in terms of passion, integrity, and both groups think for the long term. We will continue to bring incredible timepieces, and now jewelry, to our clients for many years to come. And being a privately-held family business, we have the ability to do that the right way – putting our clients first, always.
