Do you want beauty and sophistication and the ability to control light, privacy, airflow and security? Wilson Blind & Shutter has the solution for you - Plantation Shutters. Their versatility makes them desirable for both traditional and contemporary decors. Indoor shutters are popular due to high resale value, effective insulation, ability to regulate and block light, and remarkably good looks. Capture the natural beauty of real wood for a more traditional look.
"We offer shutters that are constructed from premium hardwood and feature the centuries-old craft tradition of fine mortise and tenon joinery combined with an innovative multiple-coat finish," says Wade. Choose from a classic palette of colors and from a wide range of frame types and options that fit any decor.
An alternative to wood shutters would be wood core, polypropylene coated/hybrid shutters. They combine the great style of wood with the strength, stability and straightness of advanced modern day materials, which can be less expensive but look great and are highly resistant to moisture or damage. These shutters are made of specially formulated ultraviolet resistant composite material. They are guaranteed never to warp, fade, chip or peel, regardless of high heat or other extreme climate conditions, and are offered in today's popular whites, off-whites and white-silks.
Wood blinds are the modern alternative to shutters. They offer a warm and inviting look to any decor, whether they are richly stained or painted. All come with a standard decorative valance to cover the headrail, with colorful decorative fabric tapes optional. Get your wood blinds with the popular no-holes option to stop light from leaking into your rooms, plus, you'll get tighter closure. As a result you'll block more light and insulate better. Some wooden blinds come with the option to motorize or raise them without cords, providing safer and easier operation.
Composite wood blinds give you the best of both worlds - they have the look of luxurious real wood blinds at a price less than wood. These blinds are made from a combination of vinyl and wood for added strength; they also offer easy maintenance and care. You won't have to worry about them warping, cracking or splitting in environments of high moisture or high humidity. They are an ideal product for bathrooms, garage, kid's play areas and all rooms of your home or office.
As a selected dealer for Hunter Douglas, Kirsch, Springs/Graber and Norman Shutters, Wilson Blind & Shutter offers much more than just shutters and blinds, such as the tailored and sleek Roman Shades made from fine drapery fabrics. They are a beautiful blend of today's popular decorating styles, colors and textures. Horizontal Shades combine the softness of a cellular shade, the simplicity of a roller shade and the functionality of a window blind.
Not all shutters and blinds are made the same, so Wade Wilson brings the showroom to you! In the comfort of your home you can see, feel and experience the products Wade has to offer. For your FREE ESTIMATE, call Wade Wilson at (806) 789-0327 or (806) 794-6079.


Would it help to split my dose of Effexor to morning and evening?
They do have an extended release formula for Effexor. I do not know the dosages it comes in. If Effexor gives you energy you may have to be careful about it causing insomnia if you take the dose too close to bedtime.
Talk to your doctor about your options.
CeeCee; Yes I agree with Jamie check with your doctor and if what you are taking now are tablets then it is the regular I have found the XR capsules work better and it might be you need the dose adjusted the next dose up I believe is 225mg and is normally taken in the morning. also, make sure you talk with your doctor about those sweat periods unless they are not too bad. But most the time unless the doctor says to try 75mg in am and 75 in evening it should be the timed release at 225mg which is still a mid dose. Good luck.
Is it okay to split Prednisone dose into morning and evening dose?
Is it normal to have a lot of trouble getting up in the morning while on Effexor XR?
Did anyone have an increase in energy soon after starting Effexor? Will this energy stay or fade aw?
How to switch from taking Effexor in the morning to the evening?

What Happens to the Tenant When a Rental Property Owner Dies Without a Will?
Renting and Tenant Rights
By Teo Spengler Updated December 02, 2018
What Is an Apartment Lease Buyout?
What Happens When You Sign a Lease & a Landlord Passes Away?
Types of Apartment Leases
California Laws on Unlawful Entry to a Residential Property by a Landlord
What Does It Mean to Surrender the Apartment When Breaking a Lease?
Just when your life finally feels stable and calm, you hear that your landlord has died. Since it is clear that ownership of the property will pass to someone else, you're likely to be worried about your future there. Who will inherit? Are they likely to sell? Can they kick you out? Will they have to honor your lease or month-to-month agreement? Your rights depend on the state in which you live and whether or not you have a written lease still in effect.
If your landlord dies without a will, your rights depend on whether you have a lease in effect and what state you live in.
The Lease Rules
A lease is a legal contract, signed by you and the landlord. In it, you both agree that you will rent the premises for a set amount of time for a given amount of money. For example, if you and the landlord signed an agreement a month before the death under which you agree to occupy the apartment for five years and pay $500 per month, you have a valid written lease that is still in effect.
While you may want to check your state laws, in most states the lease runs with the land. That means that nobody can kick you out for the length of the lease as long as you abide by the lease terms. Any heir or buyer must honor your lease for the entire five-year term or else buy you out if you accept the offer.
For example, in San Francisco, a tenant in an existing lease cannot be evicted just because the landlord dies and someone else inherits the property. The heirs take the property subject to the lease. If they sell the property to a third party, that party also takes it subject to the lease.
Perils of Living Month-to-Month
A lease gives you a legal right to live in a unit for a set period. If you don't have a lease or if the term of the lease is over, you are a month-to-month tenant. Under a month-to-month, either you or the landlord can end the tenancy on 30 days notice.
Parties taking over the property interests of the deceased landlord or legally acting for him are required to give you the same amount of notice if they want to evict you. If rent is due on the first of the month, a 30-day notice will generally provide for the termination on that day. For example, if you pay rent on the 1st of the month and the landlord dies on May 14, the notice would have to list July 1 as the vacancy date. It would have to be served 30 days before that. In jurisdictions with rent control, you may have additional rights as a tenant even if you don't have a lease.
To Whom Should You Pay Rent?
When a landlord dies, you can put the rent check into an escrow account at the bank until the new owner or the administrator of his estate contacts you. If the landlord owned the property with a surviving spouse, or if he co-owned with another joint tenant, the property may pass automatically to that person when he dies. Once that person shows you proof of her ownership, you can pay the rent to her.
If the landlord owned the property in his sole name and did not leave a will, his heirs at law inherit. These are his closest family members. Each state has a statute setting out the order in which relatives inherit, with spouse and children usually first on the list, often followed by the parents and/or siblings. Unlike co-ownership, however, this inheritance doesn't happen automatically.
A deceased person's assets and debts must be handled in a court-supervised procedure called probate. If the deceased leaves no will, the court appoints someone to shepherd the estate through probate, pay debts and taxes and transfer the assets to heirs. That person, called an administrator, is the person to whom you should pay rent once you are shown official probate orders appointing her. When the house passes to an heir, you pay the new owner rent.
If you gave the landlord a security deposit, it will also be transferred to the estate administrator while probate is pending. Then that deposit is transferred to the heir who inherits. When you leave, it is this person who is obliged to return the security deposit to you. When the dust settles on the probate, verify that the new owner has received your security deposit and any other fees you prepaid.

G7 Shared Agenda Includes Ending the Lives of Unborn Children
G7 leaders concluded their Summit with agreement on the Carbis Bay G7 Summit Communiqué, Our Shared Agenda for Global Action to Build Back Better which includes support for abortion as part of "sexual and reproductive health and rights" advanced in the name of gender equality.
Following the tactic of President Biden—who has not said the word "abortion" since taking office and is being tracked by pro-abortion activists in the countdown Did Biden Say Abortion Yet, the word "abortion" is not mentioned in the declaration. Rather the abortion-inclusive term "sexual and reproductive health and rights" is included in the G7 leaders' 27-page statement—but not in its summary— and in the leaders' 2021 Open Societies Statement.
The Carbis Bay Communiqué states, "The advancement of gender equity and equality are a central pillar of our plans and policies to build back better" and the leaders reaffirm their "full commitment to promote and protect the sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) of all individuals" while recognizing "the essential and transformative role they play in gender equality and women's and girls' empowerment, and in supporting diversity, including of sexual orientations and gender identities".
They commit "to close alignment with the Generation Equality Forum (GEF)" which takes place in France at the end of the month and includes an action coalition on Bodily Integrity and Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights which seeks "removal of restrictive policies and legal barriers" so "50 million more adolescent girls and women", who currently live countries which protect unborn children from abortion, will have access to abortion by 2026. This action coalition of Generation Equality Forum has four main goals: (1) Expand Comprehensive Sexuality Education; (2) Increase the availability, accessibility, acceptability and quality of comprehensive abortion and contraception services; (3) Increase SRHR Decision-Making & Bodily Autonomy; and (4) Strengthen girls, women's and feminist organizations and networks to promote and protect bodily autonomy and SRHR.
French President Macron is a supporter of Generation Equality Forum and had tweeted, "We have not given up in the fight for women's rights around the world. They are threatened. Even in Europe. France, which chairs the Generation Equality Forum with Mexico and UN Women, bears a responsibility. In Paris, at the end of June, this fight will take a new turn."
In the area of gender equality, the G7 leaders also recognize "the devastating and disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on women and girls, which risks reversing hard-won gains especially with regards to…sexual and reproductive health and rights..."
In another concluding document, 2021 Open Societies Statement, the G7 agree, "As leaders of over half of the world's population living in democracies, we believe it is imperative that we reaffirm and encourage others to embrace the values that bind us together, including our respect for international rules and norms relating to …promotion of women's and girls' rights, and the protection of sexual and reproductive health and rights."
The presence of President Trump had prevented the inclusion of support for "sexual and reproductive health and rights" in the G7 agreements which took place under his presidency.
Despite the inclusion of the term "sexual and reproductive health and rights", the co-chairs of the W7- the G7's official Engagement Group on gender equality—expressed their disappointment that there are "almost no tangible political or financial commitments."


Congratulations! Pakistan in winning the ICC Championship 2017 Trophy. The spectacular performance enabled victory against all odds in the tournament.
The resilience from the teams written off as underdogs rising to be fierce contestants contributed to excitement in the game.
The lesson for those riding high on overconfidence is – one should never count the chickens before they are hatched proved time and time again.
Congratulations! To all participants in the ICC Championship 2017.
The Indian political establishment is presently engaged in mudslinging and screaming match desperately trying to protect them from the political storm caused by IPL founder and chief Lalit Modi.
IPL – Indian premier league, the cricket tournament started few years ago attracting investors from the entertainment industry, economic sector and political arena.
IPL founder and mentor Lalit Modi – allegedly a fugitive facing various allegations ranging from embezzlement to corruption scandals in India.
As I mentioned earlier much to Bollywood Moguls' irate for they are prime investors in IPL, IPL – Indian Premier League facilitates money laundering and tax evasion for the bourgeois – the rich, famous and the powerful in Indian society.
Indian political class with all sides having some relationship and connection with the controversial IPL icon Lalit Modi are currently involved in the blame game.
Indian Prime Minister Modi remarked in the latest speech on the potential cyber threat claiming anyone with mere 10th or 12 th class education miles away could potentially wipe away the bank account and warned the nation to be prepared for the 'bloodless' cyber war.
Yet supposedly learned IPL chief Lalit Modi from miles away implicated on embezzlements running into billions technically siphoning Indian national treasury with members of Indian political apparatus collusion and complicity exemplify the state of affairs in multidimensional context. i.e. education, ethics and economic bankruptcy.
Lalit Modi's twitters from offshore evidently prompting the Indian Parliament chirping and I play this song from Indian cinema that aptly describes the present somber mood in Indian political scene.
This song is brought to you with pleasure from me for your entertainment.
Then the secrets will be out in the open!
Congratulations! To Seattle Sea Hawks led by coach Pete Carroll against Denver Broncos in the American football championship popularly known as Super Bowl event.
The spectacular win for Seattle Sea Hawks is a matter of state and national pride.
The Denver Broncos sportsmanship and competitiveness induced thrill for millions of football fans in the United States and around the world.
Super Bowl as national occasion arouses excitement in sports circle especially among football enthusiasts and commercial broadcasters capitalizing on opportunity to attract massive audience attention. The much anticipated moment facilitates lucrative deals in the multi-billion dollar industry.
The exorbitant income from Super Bowl and similar major national or international activities – Olympics and World competitions boost private sector profits and allocating some portion towards investments in fortifying sport culture could contribute to healthy nation and economic development.
Sport promotes diplomacy and cultural exchange alleviating tensions between nations unlike some political initiatives aimed at exacerbating crises.
However, image tarnishing scandals like match fixing, performance enhancing substance among athletes and other controversies viz. corruption involving organizers create unwanted impediments for successful hosting to showcase national potential.
Unfortunately sports are also targeted with terrorism to maintain status quo on false flag operations such as 9/11 curtailing freedom and normal lifestyle.
Sports could be instrumental in voicing dissent on human rights violation in Bahrain and Qatar as Grand Prix and FIFA sponsors respectively.
Likewise extending campaign for the oppressed and persecuted in Saudi Arabia, occupied Palestine, Myanmar, Tibet, Sri Lankan Tamils and several parts of the world would expedite independence, political representation and economic as well as social equality.
Notwithstanding pressure on major powers to end conflict in Syria, CAR, South Sudan along with troop withdrawal from Afghanistan, Korean Peninsula and horn of Africa.
The result-oriented actions could then stifle burgeoning violence in Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Egypt and countries experiencing relentless terror operations emanating from mission based on 9/11.
In conclusion, the real and functioning democracy would not curb free speech on issues including 9/11 reinvestigations leading to political transformation premised on transparency and accountability.
Cheers! To Super Bowl winner and contender in 2014.
Heartfelt Congratulations! To Indian Cricket team for a spectacular victory in the riveting game with billion fanfares cheering the Indian troop on the battle ground against formidable Sri Lanka.
Sri Lankan team impressively challenged the Indian side that contributed to earning the prestigious title.
The incredible performance from the Indian batsmen particularly Gautam Gambhir assuming responsibility at the critical position joined by the Indian Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and later Yuvraj Singh led India to the anticipated victory.
Gautam Gambhir and others deserve due recognition with an award for their commitment that guaranteed the end result.
Team efforts from India and Sri Lanka made the grand finale a historic moment to prove the respective caliber in the most popular sport revered by the people across the Indian sub-continent.
The Indian team demonstrated resolve in rising to the occasion and delivered their promise by winning the most coveted trophy.
It is Dusserah for India – a festival time rejoicing the glorious triumph in the hard fought final match.
Indian Cricket team makes India proud in winning the World Cup Championship.
Best Wishes to Sri Lanka in their future endeavor and India for continuous success in every frontier.
The mega sports event grand finale is scheduled to begin momentarily.
Indian and Sri Lankan Cricket team have an opportunity to display their extraordinary talent.
Good Luck! For a spectacular game between the two popular teams – India and Sri Lanka.
Rest to follow upon conclusion of the much awaited cricket extravaganza.
Congratulations! To Indian Cricket team on the fabulous victory that has swept them to the final match to be held in Mumbai, India on April 2nd, 2011 against Sri Lanka.
Compliments extended to the Pakistani Cricket team for a spectacular fight to clinch the title. The sports spirit was maintained throughout the game.
All are winners in a competition for individual contribution produces collective entertainment.
India and Pakistan were brought together for meaningful dialogue on this occasion which is a phenomenal beginning towards peaceful negotiations to continue in the near future.
India and Pakistan brilliant performance will be cherished in the most favorite sport of the Indian sub-continent.
Best Wishes to both teams for a fantastic display of talent and demeanor.
Good Luck! To India in the World Cup Final.
The World Cup Cricket grand tournament begins on February 19, 2011.
Bangladesh hosted the spectacular opening ceremony with fireworks amid 25,000 cheering cricket fans gathered for an up close view of their favorite sports heroes.
First match between India and Bangladesh held today in Dhaka, Bangladesh resulted in the Indian side winning by 87 runs.
Heartfelt Congratulations! To team India on the brilliant start with more to follow until the end.
Cricket is religiously followed in the Indian sub-continent. The mega sports event is the most popular and in some quarters revered by the cricket enthusiasts fervently praying and desiring for their respective home team to clinch the world title.
The sport that was once considered the 'Lords' Game' – a legacy from British empire is now played in every nook and corner of South East Asia especially in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
Similarly in other parts of the world – West Indies, South Africa and Zimbabwe, notwithstanding western nations like England, Australia, New Zealand along with relatively new entrants – Ireland, Canada, Netherlands and Kenya have significant admirers and young cricketers competing to surpass the native legends' records.
In India – the passion for the game is contagious with cricket lovers idolizing their favorite player and cricket season marks the beginning of sports carnival.
The current world cup competition involves 14 international teams playing 49 match games over 43 days in 14 different venues spread across India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
It is a one-day cricket match with limited overs set at 50 for each side unlike the test match that continues with 2 innings played by both teams over minimum of 3-4 days for conclusion.
Undoubtedly the world cup kicked off with a promising trail from the successful opening ceremony in Bangladesh to the recent victory for the Indian team.
There are other formidable challengers with similar aspirations and their performance will be a real treat to the spectators and sprawling cricket fans worldwide.
Since each team will strive to dominate the show – the audience are sure to be entertained to their heart content.
Cricket craze is pervasive and the multinational caliber pronounces the effects during the fixated moment of world cup championship.
Ethics and economics aspect – The stakes are high in the tremendously appealing sport not devoid of controversies and scandals related to match fixing leading to emerging talents' abrupt end of the career.
Similarly the crime investigation on the sudden demise of a foreign coach not long ago caused a maelstrom within the prestigious sports circle.
Sports are enjoyable at any time. However maintaining discipline and prioritizing high moral conduct would not only enhance individual image but also promote a positive message to several million impressionable minds preparing to enter the enthralling sport as professionals.
There are no losers in a contest for the participants share the glory in sports spirit.
On that optimistic note – Wishing phenomenal success to every contestant in the World Cup Cricket 2011.
Best Wishes to all sports stars of the riveting one-day international cricket.
Our Special Olympics athletes are all prepared and ready to compete in the forthcoming Winter Olympics in 2011.

The phenomenal trend thus far has been made possible by great humanitarian organizations helping individuals from all walks of life to display their talent with pride despite the arduous journey in reaching the milestone.
Among them the Special Olympics organization committed to promoting human spirit through international sports deserves praise and admiration for the relentless work towards the honorable humanitarian service.
Today, they desperately need your kind attention to assist them with the daunting task of raising funds to provide for special programs to 567,000 athletes participating in the exciting world competition.

The XIX Commonwealth Games in Delhi concluded this week with a grand closing ceremony.
Congratulations! To the Commonwealth Nations athletes for their victory in various sports.
Every one of them has tremendous skills in the relevant activity and the permeating exuberance added confidence among the contestants.
Hats off! To the Indian Athletes for their superb performance despite the critics' dismal forecast at the CWG onset.
Besides maintaining the sports spirit your zeal to deal with the challenges every step of the way was admirable.
Considering the lack of opportunities and facilities available to them as compared to the urban sportsmen and women.
Reportedly, about 2% from rural Haryana alone contributed to more than 40% medal tally for India. It is a clear demonstration that every individual has some potential in one way or another.
Nurturing the natural capability in human beings can yield phenomenal results as witnessed in the recent games. There is a strong desire among the young aspirants to achieve their dreams in different areas of interest.
It is dependent upon the government and private sector attention to athletes in providing the physical training and financial means necessary to compete at the national and international level.
India's academic accomplishment is reflected in the consistently positive economic growth with the government and non-governmental programs committed to accelerate the literacy rate among the rural and poorer communities across the nation.
However, the investments have been predominantly concentrated in popular team sports like Cricket, Hockey and Football/Soccer. The other sports are increasingly included in the category with an exception of the athletic promotion.
Given the athletes' stellar record in the absence of motivational factors like sponsorships and scholarships, the private and public sector now have the incentives to transform the trend and perhaps contribute to enhance the winning prospects in the future.
All nations have greater advantage in cultivating their population attributes guaranteed to shine in every aspect. Obviously, the less privileged need solid support in exhibiting their individual talent which ultimately benefits the society.
Unequivocally all participants at the Commonwealth Games deserve praise for demonstrating their extraordinary qualities in a variety of sports. Their determination to win always makes the international competitions more exciting.
The final presentation was fabulous with a colorful show.
Again about 7000 artistes portraying the modern yet traditional India in perfect synchrony is a marvelous act and the choreography happily takes the cake in the grandeur fanfare.
The celebration is unique in offering the Indian portrait with the rich cultural heritage in full bloom pleasantly surprising the mesmerized audience throughout the pageant.
Meanwhile greeting the beautiful Glasgow, Scotland, the next CWG venue in 2014.
XIX Delhi Commonwealth Games is a monumental feat for India emerging from near withdrawal to the glorious finale in sports and the magnificent festivity.
The Gala event signified a glowing tribute to the athletes and the performers in the cultural extravaganza.
All are winners in the sports arena for their honorable participation.
Indian Prime Minister Man Mohan Singh, Congress Leader Mrs. Sonia Gandhi, the Home Minister P. Chidambaram, the Delhi Chief Minister, the entire Commonwealth Games organizing committee members and employees share the acknowledgment for the terrific success.
Heartfelt Congratulations! To India, especially Delhi, the XIX Commonwealth Games host on the spectacular extravaganza prominently showcased at the 'Gala Opening Ceremony,' held on October 3, 2010 at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi.
You did it! That too with magnificent glory and pride.
It's a testimony that whenever human talent is challenged with the 'impossible' verdict, the inspirational spirit within guides to rise to the occasion and prove it otherwise.
The ceremony is an amazing feat for the vibrant civilization unfolded in the twenty first century technological era in perfect harmony and wrapped in a colorful cultural performance depicting the magical kingdom of India through the refracted prism images from the spectrum of light illuminating the sky with mesmerizing fireworks.
Technology oriented themes such as the 'Aerostat,' a large helium balloon raised to the 25 meters height above the ground, decorated with mirrors and rainbow lights is designed to project high resolution video occurrence and visuals at 360 degrees in addition to synchronizing with the parade on the ground.
The enthralling presentation was one of a kind appreciated with the spectators' continuous applause in sheer bewilderment.
The live shows on stage were captivating with seven thousand artistes from diverse cultural background performed with great enthusiasm creating a parallel universe by revealing the caliber among the unsung maestros in classical, folk and modern music and dance.
The co-ordination in this context was in itself a tremendous tribute to the choreography.
The long cherished Indian cultural heritage was exhibited in the pageantry winning the hearts and minds of the audience at home and around the world.
Synthesizing innovation with tradition produces a unique effect profoundly highlighting the characteristics in ancient art and modern techniques.
India is naturally suitable for such experiment given the enriched antiquity and the phenomenal technological endowments together contributing to the ravishing display.
Around seventy one nations are participating in various sports activities and the solidarity was evident during the opening ceremony.
The assimilation of these nations with a common pledge to build new relations and enhance old ties through sports is an admirable humanitarian goal.
There is abundant opportunity through international sports to heal and reconcile differences for mutual progress in every dimension.
Sports and entertainment are often the ice-breakers in the frozen diplomatic channels facilitating renewed hope for a fresh beginning.
Nations could seize the floating chance to reflect, pause and proceed with a dialogue conciliatory to both parties.
Many unresolved disputes have been revived due to sincere engagement and amicable approach in the contentious issues ultimately yielding the desirable outcome.
As for the competitiveness in the related sports at the international level, the athletes representing each nation would justifiably aim for their victory and every other contender in that respect is a potential threat to them.
Again, maintaining a balanced strategy that would enable accomplishment without compromising sportsmanship is ideal to promote sports acumen, teamwork and national image.
Being the ambassadors for the respective nations, the athletes have an awesome responsibility to demonstrate qualities helping them to win in the relevant field while protecting the national interest.
Although most participants excel in interpersonal skills, sometimes incidents evolve into an unnecessary controversy.
In other matter, it's imperative to focus on the outstanding security efforts and the final preparation leading to the Commonwealth Games commencement splendor.
The entire games village is equipped with surveillance cameras, tight security measures and above all guarded by an estimated eight thousand Indian commandos for the athletes, visitors and residents' 24/7 safety.
All of the minor and major problems pertaining to the initial delay appear to have been effectively addressed in compliance with the international standard and to the sports community's optimal satisfaction.
Prime Minister Man Mohan Singh, Congress Party Leader Mrs. Sonia Gandhi, Home Minister P. Chidambaram, Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit, Indian Commonwealth Games organizing committee members and above all the workers at the bottom delegated to the finishing tasks deserve recognition for a superb finále.
An unequivocal commitment to prevail against all odds from the top bottom ensured success.
However, it's essential to preserve and possibly expand the status quo comprehensively to strengthen future prospects.
A valuable lesson from the recent experience is – a resilient unified input guaranteed to triumph in the extenuating circumstances.
India exemplified the notion with grace, charm and exceptional fanfare.
On that optimistic note, signing off with deep gratitude and acknowledgment for the fabulous start of the XIX Commonwealth Games in New Delhi, India.
Good Luck! And Best Wishes to all athletes from different parts of the world in realizing their dreams at the international event.

Best uniforms: Canada's faux-sweater snowsuit. I love it so much.
Best moment: when a 17-year-old (who looks 14) won the gold medal in men's slopestyle. What a kid!
Figure skating: has a team event now. I saw analysis online saying this was to bring it in line with other sports that give athletes multiple avenues in which they can earn medals, like gymnastics, but come on. It's so they can televise more figure skating, right? Either way, I am not complaining! The more chances to bask in Virtue & Moir, the better.
Also: Medvedeva. I love her so much. Why do I have such a soft spot for Russian ethnic minority superstars that seem so surly until you see them smile? First Mustafina (gymnastics), now Medvedeva. I love the way she skates.
Finland: is super fun to watch the Winter Olympics in! We've got a couple of medals already. Our family watched the women's slopestyle yesterday and watched Enni Rukajärvi get the bronze!
Olympic programming: is slightly better than Rio so far. I have been able to find what I want with minimal spoilers on Yle (Finnish national broadcasting), but it has gotten harder as each day has gone by. It's becoming more difficult to distinguish yesterday's figure skating from today's figure skating, for example.
That theme song (that we get before our programming here): is totally a song from the Children of the World CD we used to listen to on repeat when Miriam was a baby.

Three reasons I love open source
2015 November 16 / Justin W. Flory / 2 Comments
Open Source User
I am a user of open source software. My earliest experiences with open source software was with the Minecraft server software Bukkit as a kid, when I was attempting to make a cool game server for friends. I started using Fedora in December 2013 with my first laptop, ending a lifetime of using Apple devices. I like to believe that I am familiar and experienced with open source software as an everyday user.
The Open Source Initiative. Source: opensource.org
Open Source Contributor
I am a contributor of open source software. Despite using it so often, I am still new to contributing and I am learning new things every day about free and open-source software communities. These past three months have passed by seemingly faster than light. And yet, despite being new as a contributor, I am passionate about what I am doing and what others around me are doing. I believe that open source goes beyond just software – it is a culture, a way of thinking, maybe even a way of life. There are reasons why I love open source as much as I do, and while it was challenging, I narrowed it down to three of my favorite things.
Since I started using free and open source software, I gradually became educated about what software freedom is and what makes it so important. An open source project is one thing on its own. But is it free? And this not the traditional meaning of free, as in "no cost". But does it protect your freedom? Do you control the software or does it control you?
This is something that is probably one of the most discussed parts of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS), yet it is without a doubt one of the most important. At the end of the day, the people who work behind major FOSS projects such as Linux distributions (like Fedora), major software programs and languages, and even Minecraft server software share a core set of beliefs: the software you and I use needs to place value in freedom to manipulate and distribute as we see fit. It is within our right to do with our software as we wish. This is something that I sincerely believe will help bring the world to a better place.
Seeing as this is one of the most discussed elements of FOSS, I will not spend as much time on this. But it is important to realize that it is part of the foundation that everything else builds from.
There's hardly a better way to put it. Working in open source communities is fun! Whether you're the programmer or the writer, the designer or the maintainer, it's incredibly engaging and rewarding to take part in an open source community that understands the value in community.
For developers, it's a greatly satisfying feeling to write software and see it being used across several devices or systems, and then to get feedback about your software from users who think what you worked on is awesome. Does that mean all the feedback is always fun? No, but I believe the overall positive experiences always outweigh the few negative cases. As a FOSS developer, you can readily see your software's impact on the world.
There is more that goes on for open source communities than just writing code too, so even if you're someone like me who loves to write, there are ample opportunities to help in a fun and meaningful way. The articles I publish on the Fedora Magazine and Fedora Community Blog are enjoyable for me to write, and every thankful comment received makes it just the more worth it. For instance, I recently published an article about using an IRC bouncer software called ZNC and shared it across multiple channels of communication. Shortly after doing so, a user messaged me and asked questions about using the software I described in the article, and shortly after our discussion, he successfully tested and started using ZNC for his own IRC communication. How awesome is that?! Even just by contributing writing, I can readily see my impact on users.
At the end of the day, many of the people involved with FOSS do it out of their own time and effort. Most people aren't paid or have the convenience of having their jobs allow them to work on their own projects. So why do it if there's "no benefit" to doing it? To continue the previous point, it's because software freedom is important, but it's also because it's fun. Usually, it's not about the money or personal fame… it's about making a difference doing the things that make us happy. Whether that is software development, writing about the software being developed, making awesome graphics for the community around the software, or any other aspect, we do it because we like doing it. There's not much else of a way to put it.
Finally, the third thing I love about free and open source software is community. This is my favorite thing of all, truthfully. In my experiences working and interacting with members of open source communities, I am always met with welcoming and accepting attitudes and people who want me to succeed in contributing. I have discovered this especially in the Fedora Project community, more than any other project I've contributed to.
When I first introduced myself to the Fedora Marketing mailing list as an interested contributor to the Fedora Magazine, I was warmly received and provided with the resources I needed to set up my toolbox for success. Quickly after drafting my first articles, the Magazine team happily reviewed and revised my work and set it on track for publication. Seeing my first article go out on the Magazine was extremely rewarding, and I felt awesome that I had helped write something that readers would find interesting and be able to learn something new.

Another experience I had this past week was entirely unexpected. Fedora Community Lead Remy DeCausemaker recently published an article on Fedora Magazine about Software Freedom Day at RIT, an event on my university campus that I attended and participated in. Part of the article talked about some of the tasks I worked on and included a short interview with me. Later that evening, the same day the article went out, I received an unexpected message from a Fedora contributor in Panama who had happened to read the article. In summary, she left me some encouraging words about what I did at Software Freedom Day and said it was good to have people like me in the project. It caught me off-guard and I wasn't expecting that – and from someone who I had never talked with before! This only reaffirmed the thoughts I have had for a long time about FOSS communities, in particular Fedora. The community behind these projects is incredible and the friendships that are founded here make everything all the more worth it.
It's hard to see a future for me now without open source being an integral part along the way.
Special thanks to Michael, Cindy, Jordan, Remy, Paul, Ryan, Patrick, and Kiara for helping make my experiences in open source as amazing as it has been – I am looking forward to more experiences to come.

I think developing FOSS is really the best way to develop software. The Open Source Community should really be an example for all businesses around the world. Open Source teaches us howto communicate and work together effectively.

Amfiària (en grec antic ἀμφιαράϊα) eren un jocs que se celebraven a Oropos a Grècia en honor de l'antic heroi Amfiarau. Es feien en un temple a la vora de la ciutat on tenia un famós oracle.

Pausànies descriu els ritus de l'amfiària, i diu que els habitants d'Oropos van ser els primers que van considerar que Amfiarau era un déu. Vora la ciutat tenia un santuari propi i una estàtua de marbre blanc. A prop del temple hi havia una font que anomenaven d'Amfiarau, on no hi feien cap sacrifici ni usaven les aigües per fer purificacions, només, quan algú es curava d'una greu malaltia, tirava a la font or i plata encunyats com a agraïment, ja que, segons diuen, Amfiarau va arribar a aquesta font convertit en déu.

El temple tenia un oracle i encara que alguns autors diuen que Amfiarau donava profecies en vers, el cert és que aquest déu profetitzava a través de l'oniromància, o endevinació a través dels somnis. Era costum que el que anava a consultar l'oracle s'havia de purificar primer fent diversos sacrificis al seu altar. Després sacrificaven un boc o una cabra, en treien la pell i dormien al damunt, esperant la revelació a través d'un somni.

All you need to know about Rafael Nadal
August 9, 2022 August 9, 2022 andersonobrainLeave a Comment on All you need to know about Rafael Nadal
Rafael Nadal Pereira is a Spanish master tennis player who is on the right track presently organized world number 4 in singles by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP). He has been organized World No. 1 for quite a while, and finished the year as No. 1 toward the year's end. 1 five times. Nadal has won 22 Grand Slam men's singles titles, the most certainly ever, including a record 14 French Open titles.

CORY v. AKIN
ESTATE OF Alma S. TIMMONS, Deceased. Kenneth CORY, as State Controller, Petitioner and Respondent, v. Paula R. AKIN, Objector and Appellant.
Civ. B010028.
Decided: August 20, 1985
Ball, Hunt, Hart, Brown & Baerwitz and Paul R. Pearlson, Los Angeles, for appellant. Myron Siedorf, Chief Inheritance Tax Atty., Phyllis K. Fairbanks and John H. Van Veen, Asst. Inheritance Tax Attys., Los Angeles, for respondent.
In this case we hold that the full appraised value of real property is subject to inheritance taxation even though, as the result of a good faith settlement of a will contest, a distributee named in the decedent's will received a cash substitute for the real property substantially less than its appraised value.
After Alma Timmons died on February 22, 1982,1 appellant filed a petition for admission of her 1981 will to probate. Pursuant thereto appellant was bequeathed decedent's community property interest in certain real property along with a portion of decedent's personal property.
Contestant, decedent's husband by a second marriage, filed a will contest claiming that decedent was under undue influence and not of sound mind when she executed the 1981 will. He contended that a 1974 will which left him all of the decedent's estate, including the subject real property, should be admitted to probate.
After extensive pretrial discovery and negotiations, the will contest was eventually settled in good faith. By its terms, the settlement agreement provided:
1. That the estate transfer the real property to the contestant in consideration for the payment by him of $235,000 cash to the estate to be distributed to appellant in lieu of the real property.
2. That the will contest be dismissed.
3. That the 1981 will be admitted to probate.
The settlement agreement did not make any provision for the payment of inheritance taxes.
The report of the inheritance tax referee appraised the decedent's interest in the real property at $400,000, and computed appellant's tax based upon the full value of the property bequeathed to appellant in the 1981 will, even though appellant actually received only $235,000 under the terms of the settlement.
Appellant objected to the referee's report and tax assessment because it was based upon the full value of the real property.2 The trial court overruled appellant's objections to the report of the referee on November 2, 1983, and this appeal from that order followed. We affirm.
Appellate courts have consistently held that the state's right to tax inheritances under the law in effect on the decedent's death vests as of that date, and cannot be divested by subsequent act of the Legislature itself (Estate of Stanford (1899) 126 Cal. 112, 54 P. 259); by the conduct of those entitled to inherit under decedent's will or by intestate succession by the act of renunciation; or by agreements among themselves in the settlement of disputes which did not proceed to judgment on the merits. (Estate of Rossi (1915) 169 Cal. 148, 146 P. 430, citing Estate of Stanford, supra; Estate of Holt (1923) 61 Cal.App. 464, 215 P. 124; Kelso v. Sargent (1936) 11 Cal.App.2d 170, 54 P.2d 26; Cohn v. Cohn (1942) 20 Cal.2d 65, 123 P.2d 833; Estate of Beville (1944) 66 Cal.App.2d 271, 152 P.2d 229; Estate of Desmond (1973) 34 Cal.App.3d 139, 109 Cal.Rptr. 50; Estate of Cooke (1976) 57 Cal.App.3d 595, 129 Cal.Rptr. 354.)
"Every [inheritance] tax imposed by this part is due and payable at the date of the transferor's death." (Rev. & Tax. Code, § 14102 (enacted Stats.1943, ch. 658).) 3
The long-established rule that inheritance taxes are to be computed without regard to distribution pursuant to the settlement of a will contest was first codified into section 13409.4 (Stats.1943, ch. 658.)
Section 13409 was repealed (Stats.1972, ch. 990) and then immediately reenacted as follows:
"Transfers of any interest in real or personal property and all rights and powers relating to the same which have been duly disclaimed pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 11 (commencing with section 190) of Division 1 of the Probate Code or in any other valid manner, shall be subject to the inheritance tax only if, and to the same extent and in the same manner as, the same would have been subject to such tax if the interest, rights, and powers had been originally created in favor of and transferred to the same persons and in the same shares in which they are effectively distributed or otherwise disposed of, after giving full effect to such disclaimers pursuant to the governing instrument, if any, and Chapter 11 (commencing with Section 190) of Division 1 of the Probate Code and all other applicable law." (Emphasis added.) 5
Chapter 990 of the 1972 Statutes, which, inter alia, repealed section 13409 and then reenacted that same section, dealt exclusively with the subject of disclaimers. Section 6 of that act stated that it was an urgency statute, and recited facts constituting the necessity to be:
"There is a question in the application of state law in the area of disclaimers, which is not in conformity with federal law in relation to the taxation of disclaimers. The immediate effectiveness of this act will establish conformity, and will allow estate planning to proceed without confusion and possible litigation. In order to avoid this confusion and possible litigation and to reestablish certainty in the law, it is necessary that this act go into immediate effect." 6
The subject of inheritance taxation following an agreement for distribution otherwise than as provided in the will found in repealed 13409 was omitted in its reenactment.
However on April 13, 1973, the state controller filed Regulation 13409(a) as California Administrative Code, title 18, section 13409(a), California Administrative Register 73, No. 15.7
Subdivisions (a)(1) and (a)(2) dealt only with disclaimers.
Subdivision (b), inter alia, dealt with agreements by transferees or heirs and provides in pertinent part: "․ or if such person enters into an agreement with other beneficiaries, heirs, or transferees providing that the interest to which he would otherwise be entitled shall pass to a person or persons who would not otherwise succeed to such interest except under provisions of the agreement, the transfer, assignment or agreement by the transferee shall be disregarded in computing the inheritance tax due." This regulation was renumbered as section 13409.1 on September 23, 1978 (Cal.Admin.Code, tit. 18, § 13409.1, Cal.Admin.Register 78, No. 38B), and as so renumbered, was in effect on the date of the decedent's death.
In Estate of Walsh (1977) 72 Cal.App.3d 895, 140 Cal.Rptr. 462, the court, relying on the above-quoted regulation, Estate of Cooke, supra, 57 Cal.App.3d 595, 129 Cal.Rptr. 354 and Cohn v. Cohn, supra, 20 Cal.2d 65, 123 P.2d 833, held that a settlement agreement is to be disregarded in computing the inheritance tax. "[T]he tax is to be computed as if distribution had been made pursuant to the terms of the will of the decedent." (Estate of Walsh, supra, 72 Cal.App.3d at pp. 897–898, 140 Cal.Rptr. 462.)
Nevertheless, appellant argues that it is well settled under the law that where the Legislature omits a particular statutory provision in a later enactment of the same statute, "such deliberate omission indicates a different [legislative] intention which may not be supplanted in the process of judicial construction." (Kaiser Steel Corp. v. Solano County (1979) 90 Cal.App.3d 662, 667, 153 Cal.Rptr. 546.) 8
She continues that "[t]he only rational explanation for the changes is that the legislature meant to shift the inheritance tax burden to those who actually receive the estate property pursuant to the terms of a bona fide will contest settlement." We disagree.
"There is a general rule of statutory interpretation that, in the absence of a specific expression of legislative intent, statutory language should not be construed to apply to governmental bodies where such interpretation would result in the infringement of 'sovereign governmental powers.' [Citations.]" (Estate of Cooke, supra, 57 Cal.App.3d at p. 602, 129 Cal.Rptr. 354.) The authority to tax is the quintessential sovereign governmental power.
" '[I]t should not "be presumed that the Legislature in the enactment of statutes intends to overthrow long-established principles of law unless such intention is made clearly to appear either by express declaration or by necessary implication." ' " (Fuentes v. Workers' Comp. Appeals Bd. (1976) 16 Cal.3d 1, 7, 128 Cal.Rptr. 673, 547 P.2d 449, quoting Theodor v. Superior Court (1972) 8 Cal.3d 77, 92, 104 Cal.Rptr. 226, 501 P.2d 234.)
As we have explained, original section 13409 was only a codification of antecedent case law. Its repeal and immediate reenactment, dealing exclusively with the subject of disclaimers, did not by express declaration or necessary implication eradicate the authority of the earlier long line of cases and the underlying statutes and vested right principles upon which they were based.
Conceding the bona fides of the will contest settlement, appellant's argument, when carried to its logical conclusion, would have the practical effect of delegating to the contesting parties the ultimate power of determining values for inheritance tax purposes, a duty statutorily imposed upon the inheritance tax referee pursuant to Probate Code section 605. Neither existing 13409 nor Regulation 13409.1 expresses such intent.
Appellant reads Regulation 13409.1 as limiting "its application to collusive will contest settlements whereby a contestant receives estate property to which he 'would not otherwise succeed' in order to avoid inheritance taxes."
We do not construe Regulation 13409.1 in this manner. Nowhere do we find any legislative or regulatory enactment that the inheritance tax collection process be conditioned upon a prior determination of the collusive or noncollusive nature of a will contest settlement. Nor do we perceive a policy argument to support the notion that the state be drawn into and be burdened with time consuming and expense laden hearings to determine the "good faith" nature of such a settlement.
The regulation, echoing a long line of cases, has the imprimitur of law, and decrees, in short, that the inheritance tax is to be imposed without regard to the fact that a distributee, not otherwise entitled thereto under the decedent's will admitted to probate, is to receive a share of the estate. It is entirely consistent with existing case law and section 14102. (See also Estate of Goshen (1985) 167 Cal.App.3d 97, 212 Cal.Rptr. 919.)
Appellant claims that the controller's interpretation of Regulation 13409.1, imposing a tax without regard to the actual distribution of the asset, is a denial of equal protection of the law in that it selects one particular class of persons for a species of taxation that has no rational basis supporting such classification. This argument is without merit.
The Equal Protection Clause applies to tax measures. With tax measures, the state is to be accorded very great latitude. Tax statutes are generally not subjected to close scrutiny, and distinctions can be justified on the basis of a promotion of legitimate state interests. (Haman v. County of Humboldt (1973) 8 Cal.3d 922, 925–926, 106 Cal.Rptr. 617, 506 P.2d 993.)
"The right of inheritance, including the designation of heirs and the proportions which the several heirs shall receive, as well as the right of testamentary disposition, are entirely matters of statutory enactment, and within the control of the legislature. As it is only by virtue of the statute that the heirs entitled to receive any of his ancestor's estate, or that the ancestor can divert his estate from the heir, the same authority which confers this privilege may attach to it the condition that a portion of the estate so received shall be contributed to the state, and the portion thus to be contributed is peculiarly within the legislative discretion." (In re Wilmerding (1897) 117 Cal. 281, 284, 49 P. 181.) A devisee does not become entitled to his portion of the estate until it has already been burdened with its share of the inheritance tax. (Estate of Watkinson (1923) 191 Cal. 591, 598, 217 P. 1073.)
The statutory scheme imposes a tax due and payable as of the date of decedent's death. The appraised value of the assets to be distributed, as in this case, pursuant to the terms of the will admitted to probate are likewise determined as of date of death. Since the tax is uniformly applied, where applicable at all, it does not violate equal protection of the law principles.
When all is said and done, the appraised value of the estate asset for inheritance tax purposes has not changed. The parties, by agreement, have merely rearranged its distribution and ascribed value to suit their own preferences. Since inheritance taxes vest and are determined as of the date of death, to calculate the tax based on asset valuation proposed by the parties to a will contest and a proposed distribution other than in accordance with the terms of the decedent's will duly admitted to probate, would constitute a gift of public funds in violation of the state Constitution. (See Estate of Cooke, supra, 57 Cal.App.3d at p. 602, 129 Cal.Rptr. 354.)
The order of November 2, 1983, overruling objections to the report of the inheritance tax referee is affirmed.
1. The initiative measure of June 8, 1982, Statutes 1982, chapter 1535, page 5974, section 14 repealed the majority of the preexisting inheritance tax statutes as to decedents dying on or after that date. The statutes we refer to herein apply to the estate of the decedent because she passed away on February 22, 1982.
2. Appellant does not contend that the appraisal was erroneous.
3. All section references are to the Revenue and Taxation Code unless noted otherwise.
4. Prior to 1972, section 13409 read:"If a transferee under a will renounces his rights under the will, or any part thereof, or agrees that the estate, or any part of it, shall be distributed otherwise than as provided in the will, the tax is nevertheless computed in accordance with the terms of the will admitted to probate. If an heir waives or renounces his interest in the estate, or enters into an agreement that the property to which he is entitled shall be distributed otherwise than in accordance with the laws of succession, the tax is nevertheless computed as if he had not so waived or renounced."
5. This section and all others referenced herein were in effect as of the date of decedent's death.
6. " 'Disclaimer' means any writing which declines, refuses, renounces or disclaims any interest that would otherwise be taken by a beneficiary." (Prob.Code, § 265.)Probate Code section 265, enacted in 1983, continues subdivision (c) of former Probate Code section 190, in effect as of the date of decedent's death.Appellant does not contend that settlement of the will contest was, functionally speaking, a disclaimer; and of course it was not because there was bargained-for consideration between the parties.
7. The controller is empowered to make regulations relating to inheritance taxes. (Rev. & Tax. Code, § 14740.) A court has the power to inquire into the legality of a challenged regulation. (Ford Dealers Assn. v. Department of Motor Vehicles (1982) 32 Cal.3d 347, 355, 185 Cal.Rptr. 453, 650 P.2d 328.)
8. Appellant additionally cites People v. Perkins (1951) 37 Cal.2d 62, 64, 230 P.2d 353; Mazzola v. City and County of San Francisco (1980) 112 Cal.App.3d 141, 169 Cal.Rptr. 127; Lake Forest Community Assn. v. County of Orange (1978) 86 Cal.App.3d 394, 402, 150 Cal.Rptr. 286; and Palos Verdes Faculty Associaton v. Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified Sch. Dist. (1978) 21 Cal.3d 650, 659, 147 Cal.Rptr. 359, 580 P.2d 1155 in support of her position. These cases are readily distinguishable. None of them involved a circumstance where, as here, the repealed statute left intact antecedent case law and an existing statute creating a vested right in the state to an inheritance tax that "is due and payable at the date of the transferor's death." (§ 14102.)

On January 16, according to Deadline Hollywood, the movie "13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi" which has opened in theaters this week, is doing well at the box office. CNN reports that " '13 Hours' hopes to be the next 'American Sniper' at the box office." This movie is based on the true story of the murder of our American ambassador by terrorists during an attack at a U.S. compound in Libya and how the security team struggles to respond to and make sense out of the American lack of support.

This movie captivatingly presents what happened on the evening of the eleventh anniversary of the September 11 attacks, when a group of Islamic militants attacked the American diplomatic compound and a nearby CIA Annex in Benghazi, Libya. CIA security contractors, military veterans who served with the Navy SEALS, Marine Force Recon and the Army Special Force heroically undertook a desperate defense of the American Ambassador and his staff within the diplomatic compound.
SCH has also published a video that depicts what was most important to the men headed to battle: faith, belief in God, and conviction to do the right thing, even if it meant sacrificing their lives. The movie's official site also provides multiple videos that include featurettes and trailers, as well as further information about this film. This R-rated movie is not appropriate for families, but it is an important movie for adults.
Mojo Box Offices's latest data on movies in theaters that are worthwhile for various ages with viewer discretion recommended: number three "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" (PG-13, teens and adults); number 4 "13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi" (R, adults); number seven , "Norm of the North" (PG, all ages); number eleven "Joy" (PG-13, teens and adults); number 13 "Brooklyn" (PG-13, teens and adults); number 16 "Creed"(PG-13, teens and adults); number seventeen "Concussion (2015)" (PG-13, teens and adults); number nineteen "The Martian" (PG-13, teens and adults); and number 23 "The Peanuts Movie" (G, all ages). Movieguide.org, Sonoma Christian Home.com, and Dove.org provide valuable reviews, stories, trailers and more for these movies.

This paper explores the positive relationship between home prices and household spending by following a panel of Australian households over the period 2003 to 2010. There are three hypotheses put forth in the literature to explain this relationship: (1) increases in home prices raise spending via a 'traditional wealth effect'; (2) increases in home prices raise spending by easing credit constraints; and (3) home prices and spending are influenced by a common 'third factor' such as something that affects expectations regarding future income. Identifying differences in behaviour across households of different ages helps to distinguish among these hypotheses. Younger homeowners exhibit the largest home-price wealth effects, with a 3 to 4 cent increase in spending per dollar increase in home price. As young homeowners are more likely to be credit constrained, their relatively large marginal propensity to spend supports hypothesis (2) as an important determinant of the co-movement between home prices and household spending. Further, the non-response of young renters to changes in home prices argues against hypothesis (3).

Q: keep state of collapse and expand after page reload Inside an aspx page, there are five fieldset elements. Inside each fieldset next to the legend element, you can find a table element containing many rows. I have added toggle functionality to each legend element so that when you click the legend element the corresponding table collapses or expands. the problem is when you reload the page all tables are expanded. I want to keep the status of each table when the page is reloaded. appreciate any kind of advice.

A: There are multiple solutions to this answer, such as sending a request to the server to save your state of tables, and redirect this back to the client whenever reloaded. My knowledge of aspx pages are non-existent, so I'm coming up with a different answer.
HTML5 WebStorage
You could use the HTML5 Web Storage, some info can be found here:
http://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_webstorage.asp
An example would be to store it with javascript every time you expand or collapse a table as so:
// Setting into the local storage
localStorage.setItem("table_"+tableElement.attr('id'), "collapsed");
// Getting from the local storage
localStorage.getItem("table_"+tableElement.attr('id'));

Please do note that the browser which this javascript is being ran on, has to support HTML5 and that when the user reloads this page on another browser, it will be set as if the user has first seen the page.


75% of Mali's population are farmers, but rich, land-hungry nations like China and Saudi Arabia are leasing Mali's land in order to turn large areas into agribusiness farms. Many Malian peasants do not welcome these efforts, seeing them as yet another manifestation of imperialism. As Mali experiences a military coup, the developers are scared off – but can Mali's farmers combat food shortages and escape poverty on their own terms?

Neurological Effects of
Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Radiation
Relating to Wireless Communication Technology
There is a general concern on the possible hazardous health effects of exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation (RFR) emitted from wireless communication devices. The following is a brief summary of scientific research on the effects of RFR exposure on the nervous system. For readers who are not familiar with the jargon of biological experiments, I have underlined the main conclusions of the research described.
Unlike the conditions in most previous research on the biological effects of RFR in which whole body exposure was studied, the effects of cellular telephone-related exposure involve repeated exposure with variable durations of a relatively constant amount of body tissue (i.e., part of the head). In considering the biological effects of RFR, the intensity and frequency of the radiation and exposure duration are important determinants of the responses. For repeated exposure, as in the case of the use of cellular telephones, homeostatic compensatory response can occur. On the other hand, since a relatively constant amount of body tissue is exposed, cumulative effect could occur and lead to an eventual breakdown of homeostasis and adverse health consequences. Data from some of the experiments described below do suggest that RFR effects are cumulative over time...

Paramount Pictures is getting in on the business of Monty Python. The studio has acquired "Spamalot," the upcoming movie adaptation of the hit Broadway musical.
The film was previously set up at Fox, but the project was sidelined when Disney acquired Rupert Murdoch's film empire in 2019.
"Spamalot," which has been a mainstay in the theater world for years, is based on the seminal 1975 comedy "Monty Python and the Holy Grail." Both the movie — which starred Python members Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones, John Cleese, Graham Chapman and Eric Idle — and the Broadway musical parody the legend of King Arthur, though the stage and screen versions differ plot-wise in many ways.
Casey Nicholaw, a Broadway veteran who choreographed the original "Spamalot," as well as "The Book of Mormon," "Aladdin" and "Mean Girls," is directing the movie adaptation. Dan Jinks will serve as a producer, along with Eric Idle, the show's creator who also wrote the screenplay. The cast has not been announced yet.
Jon Gonda and Mike Ireland are executing producing the project for Paramount. The studio plans to ramp up casting and move along production efforts this year.
Mike Nichols directed the original 2005 Broadway production, which featured Tim Curry as King Arthur and popularized the tongue-in-cheek song "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life." It scored 14 Tony nominations and won three, including best musical. "Spamalot" became a commercial success, grossing more than $175 million at the box office, and later sparking a West End revival and numerous domestic and international tours.
Deadline Hollywood first reported the news.

Jacques d'Annebault (Normandía, 1500 - Rouen, 7 de junio de 1558) fue un prelado francés.

Biografía
Nacido en el seno de una familia de la aristocracia normanda que se había destacado en su servicio a los reyes de Francia, era hijo de Jean d'Annebault, que fue gentilhombre del rey Francisco I y señor de Annebault, Appeville, Brestot y Aubigny. La identidad de su madre no está clara: algunos autores mencionan como tal a Marie Blosset o Margherite Blosset, mientras otros suponen que ésta era su abuela, y le hacen hijo de Catherine de Jeucourt.

Encaminado a la carrera eclesiástica y apoyado por su primos Ambroise y Jean Le Veneur, que eran respectivamente obispos de Évreux y Lisieux, y por su hermano Claude, que era Almirante de Francia, fue nombrado canónigo de la catedral de Lisieux, arcediano y dean de la de Évreux y abad comendatario de Bec, Saint-Taurin de Evreux, Saint-Serge de Angers y Mont Saint-Michel.  En 1539 su primo Jean le cedió el obispado de Lisieux.

Presentado por el rey Francisco I, el papa Paulo III le creó cardenal en el consistorio de diciembre de 1544; en mayo del año siguiente recibió, en el mismo día, el presbiterado, la consagración episcopal y el capelo, y tres años después el título de San Bartolomeo all'Isola, que en 1550 cambió por el de Santa Susana.

Fallecido en 1558, fue sepultado en el coro de la catedral de Lisieux.

Vastu in Sanskrit means nature, a surrounding or environment. The word "Vaasthu" came from Vasthu, denoting anything existing such as house, shelter building etc. Shastra in Sanskrit means systems.
Vastu shastra is an ancient art and science containing principles and practices of constructing buildings which ensures a harmonious balance between man and nature and thereby brings all round happiness, health, wealth and prosperity.
(1) : Pandit Bhabani Shankar Mahapatra as a Vastu expert can visit any body's barren plot/land anywhere in India. As soon as he visits the land, he will apply his sixth sense to know the pros and cons of the land for the suitability of house construction for the owner and also the orientation of the cardinal directions. After that, he will make a Vastu compatible design of house to be constructed at par with architecture's design.

Nevertheless, he will give you written advices on how to rectify your house with minimum altercation and cost. Renovation date in accordance with Astrology will also be given.


Getting to the next level: How are you performing?
We recently hosted an HFMA webinar presentation and invited one of our clients, the CFO of OSF HealthCare, to discuss OSF's approach for driving performance management. It was clear from the impressive results achieved at OSF ($160 million annualized savings!) that while making incremental progress may have been sufficient in the past, getting to that next level of meaningful and sustainable performance improvement is now critical for hospital and health system leadership teams.
Over the course of the next few weeks, we're going to spotlight each of these questions and ask you to consider if you can answer each adequately for your organization.
Let's start with the first question: How am I performing?
When assessing performance, it is helpful to look at both internal performance trends and performance relative to targeted peers. Your internal overall cost position trends, usually on a cost/adjusted admission basis, are critical to understanding your absolute performance levels and whether or not they are aligned with your strategic and other needs.
Are you able to set realistic goals based on data relevant for your organization?
Balancing each of these with organizational context and leadership judgment will produce a logical, appropriate and justifiable improvement goal. Once that's set, the goal can then be cascaded at the facility and functional levels.
Is your comparative benchmark tailored and relevant?
Precise peer groups provide the most relevant and actionable comparisons possible. At the system level, you should be able to see a customized peer group of like-health systems AND the ability to compare "sisters" within your system. Facilities should be confident that their peer group is rigorously tailored to match their volumes, mix and other factors.
Is the comparative opportunity assessment methodologically rigorous? Is the data accurate and transparent?
Inaccurate data will doom any improvement initiative, so ensuring that your comparative peer group has comparable data treatment is critical. If you aren't sure how you or others in your peer group have mapped the cost and clinical data, then it's hard to effectively compare and have confidence in the results. It also helps to be able to dig in to the data at any point and see what adjustments were made, so you or your team have complete transparency and can address questions as they arise.
Having confidence in comparative methodologies is important to establishing credibility throughout the organization. Knowing that outliers are appropriately excluded, for example, makes a big difference with department and clinical leaders.
Has your organization been engaged in the process?
Engagement of department leaders in the process is essential for building confidence, promoting data acceptance and accountability -- key drivers of performance improvement. Having a collaborative approach ensures that the nuances and intricacies of your organization are captured in the data, factored into the comparison, and generate relevant insights.
Can you get an integrated view of clinical and operational performance and improvement opportunities?
Being able to seamlessly assess and manage comparative performance between operational and clinical areas is critical to managing an integrated healthcare organization. When you can easily and consistently move through operational areas to explore clinical variation down to the DRG-, case- and doctor-level, you can find actionable insights at each level.
As we continue our series, you're going to see how addressing each question opens the door to the next. While these questions may appear to stand on their own, successful, lasting performance improvement really requires you to answer them collectively.
Our next post will take a closer look at question #2, 'Where are my opportunities?' In the interim, reach out to me with your questions and comments. My email address is jwhittlesey@ivantagehealth.com.
