Ayu Fish Sauce
The city of Hita in Oita Prefecture is rich in nature and is lauded as a "suigo" or riverside district. Soy sauce brewery Maruhara was established in this historical town over a century ago. It's been attracting attention in recent years for the unique product development by its president Masayuki Hara.
One of these endeavors is the production of a new local specialty, a fish sauce made from Ayu sweetfish. A freshwater fish, Ayu is a rare delicacy in Japan. The fish sauce project came about when local fish farmers consulted Hara with ideas on how to make use of irregular Ayu fish. They conducted collaborative research with the prefecture and after 4 years of trial and error, Ayu Fish Sauce was born. Particular care was given to its taste and aroma, elements which are most essential to soy sauce. Set down and filtered for 4 months, the fish sauce is eliminated of unpleasant odor and develops a rich aroma.
It gradually garnered recognition in product trade fairs and received streams of orders from upscale restaurants in Tokyo. Hara has also concluded a contract with a three-star restaurant in France, in his strategic effort of market expansion. The Ayu Fish Sauce is highly esteemed by chef overseas for its compatibility with all kinds of dishes. Hara has also developed a new type of soy sauce based on it.
The program documents a time-honored soy sauce brewery as it takes on the international market by discovering new flavors using local ingredients.

Диспетчериза́ція — сукупність технічних засобів і програмних продуктів, за допомогою яких здійснюється централізація контролю та діагностики стану інженерних систем, управління ними та невідкладне прийняття адекватних заходів у разі аварійних ситуацій. Постійна реєстрація та фіксація всіх подій в системі дає можливість встановити справжню причину аварії, безпомилково визначити осіб, винних в аварійній ситуації, а також запобігти її повторенню в майбутньому.

У сучасних системах диспетчеризації інженерних систем широко використовуються інформаційні технології. Інформація про все приєднане до системи диспетчеризації обладнання виводиться в режимі реального часу на екрани моніторів. Комп'ютеризація систем диспетчеризації дозволяє інтегрувати системи безпеки, зв'язку та інженерні системи в єдиний комплекс, в якому моніторинг всього обладнання, об'єднаного системою диспетчеризації, відбувається в режимі реального часу.

Типова система диспетчеризації житлового будинку збирає інформацію про спрацювання датчиків загазованості приміщень, затоплення підвалу, здійснює постійний контроль фази мережі електропостачання, температури гарячого водопостачання, опалення, температури приміщення, пожежної сигналізації, а також будь-якого сигналу за бажанням замовника. Паралельно, система може передавати та контролювати (моніторити) доступ до допоміжних інженерних приміщень (вбудованих казанних, бойлерних, машинних відділень ліфтів тощо).

Завдання систем диспетчеризації
Системи диспетчеризації вирішують такі основні завдання:
 Автоматичне забезпечення необхідного мікроклімату
 Надійна і безвідмовна робота встановлених систем
 Можливість зниження загальних капітальних витрат і витрат на експлуатацію (за рахунок зменшення енергоспоживання та підвищення надійності роботи обладнання)
 Зниження витрат на використання висококласних (і дорогих) фахівців
 Безпека як встановлених систем, так і їх користувачів

Установка сучасної системи автоматизації та диспетчеризації забезпечує:
 Реальну і повну картину стану всіх інженерних систем в будь-який момент часу;
 Зручний графічний інтерфейс, де у вигляді мнемосхем представлено все встановлене обладнання;
 Швидку й адекватну реакцію на аварійні ситуації;
 Можливість видачі аварійних повідомлень на екран монітора, принтер, віддалений комп'ютер, пейджер, мобільний телефон;
 Реєстрацію всіх системних подій, що дозволяє в багатьох випадках встановити причину аварійної ситуації, її винуватця, а також запобігти її появу надалі;
 Швидку та точну реакцію на зміну умов зовнішнього середовища;
 Підрахунок часу напрацювання устаткування і попередження про необхідність проведення профілактичних та регламентних робіт і, за рахунок цього, продовження терміну служби інженерних систем;
 Ширші можливості щодо управління системами при скороченні штату обслуговчого персоналу;
 Можливість збору статистичної інформації і прогнозування.
 В автоматичному режимі керувати роботою систем вентиляції, кондиціонування, опалення, освітлення та ін., забезпечуючи в кожному приміщенні найбільш комфортні умови для персоналу по температурі, вологості повітря, освітленості.
 Отримувати об'єктивну інформацію про роботу і стан всіх систем, своєчасно повідомляти диспетчерам про необхідність виклику сервісних фахівців у разі відхилення параметрів від штатних показників;
 Контролюючи максимально можливе число параметрів обладнання і показників завантаженості систем, перерозподіляти енергоресурси між системами, забезпечуючи їх ефективне використання та економію;
 Вводити оптимальний режим управління інженерним обладнанням з метою скорочення витрат на використання ресурсів, споживаних інженерними системами будівлі (гарячої й холодної води, тепла, електроенергії, чистого повітря і т. д.);
 Забезпечувати централізований контроль і управління при позаштатних ситуаціях;
 Здійснювати своєчасну локалізацію аварійних ситуацій;
 Оперативно приймати рішення при аварійних, позаштатних ситуаціях (пожежі, затоплення, витоках води, газу);
 Вести об'єктивний аналіз роботи устаткування, дій інженерних служб, при нештатних ситуаціях на основі інформації автоматизованих баз даних, що документують всі прийняті рішення і багато іншого;
 Використовуючи відкриті протоколи обміну даними між різними системами

Склад системи
У загальному випадку, подібна система включає в себе наступні підсистеми:
 кондиціонування і вентиляція повітря (витяжні і припливні системи, центральні кондиціонери, кондиціонери доводчики: регулятори повітряного потоку, теплові завіси);
 теплопостачання (котельні установки або індивідуальні теплові пункти (ІТП));
 водопостачання, каналізації, водопідготовки, дренажу (різні станції управління насосами);
 пожежна та охоронна сигналізації;
 електропостачання та електроосвітлення (дизель-генераторна установка, трансформаторна підстанція, розподільні пристрої, електрообігрів трубопроводів, лотків водостоку і воронок, потужні джерела безперебійного живлення);
 ліфтове обладнання;
 можливі додаткові підсистеми.

Система диспетчеризації дозволяє спостерігати за роботою представлених підсистем в реальному часі. Диспетчеризація дозволяє контролювати різні процеси, що відбуваються на віддалених об'єктах, змінювати параметри пристроїв, які обслуговують ці об'єкти, а також переглядати протоколи їх роботи. Диспетчеризація охоплює інформаційні системи, які включають бази даних підприємства і (або) обладнання.

Для збору і подальшої обробки даних використовуються програмовані контролери, що підтримують різноманітні стандарти передачі даних. Такі контролери працюють в двох режимах: незалежну, без зовнішнього управління і залежному, спільно з центральним пультом управління.

Типи
Система диспетчеризації інженерних об'єктів буває двох типів:
 Локальна диспетчеризація дозволяє передавати технологічні дані як від однієї, так і від декількох інженерних систем на комп'ютер оператора (пункт диспетчеризації).
 Тимчасова диспетчеризація дозволяє здійснювати передачу параметрів від однієї або декількох автоматизованих систем з територіально віддалених об'єктів на центральну станцію диспетчеризації, за допомогою різних каналів передачі даних. Тимчасова диспетчеризація може застосовується для об'єднання кількох будинків, що мають локальну диспетчеризацію.

Another day, another style moment from Emily Ratajkowski that leaves us wanting to take notes. Just over a week after hitting Vanity Fair's Oscars afterparty in a stunning lace dress from Brock Collection, the 27-year-old model kept things casual when she stepped out at New York's Green Fig Urban Eatery on March 5 for the Daddy musical afterparty.
Emily decided to show off her washboard abs in a black cropped sweater that didn't for one second distract me from the red leather pants she sported like a total boss. She finished her look with a matching pair of red, patent-leather boots. Read ahead to see a few more photos of her look.

Home/Sports/FIFA extends five substitute rule into 2021 due to Covid-19
FIFA extends five substitute rule into 2021 due to Covid-19
FIFA has extended the rule allowing teams to make five substitutions in matches through to 2021 because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Due to the crisis, football was suspended in much of the world from March, disrupting many international competitions and national leagues.
In May, FIFA decided to allow five substitutes, up from the regular three, when play resumed due to the congested schedules for teams.
English Premier League side Manchester United will play five matches in 13 days, including three matches in six days, with this being up from the usual two or three in a two-week period.
The International Football Association Board Board of Directors have now looked at the impact of COVID-19 on competition calendars and has decided to extend the option to competitions scheduled to be completed by July 31, 2021.
It also takes into account international competitions scheduled in July and August 2021, such as the European Championships.
The decision was made after concerns of an increased risk of injury were raised.
There will be shorter summer breaks for teams who traditionally end their seasons in May and start again in July or August, as they are now playing through July instead.
As already implemented, a maximum of five substitutes can be made by a team, but each team only has three opportunities to make those changes.
The Spanish La Liga and the Premier League will conclude later this month, while the Italian Serie A will finish its season provisionally on August 2.

Rahul, Rohit drive India to series win
India vs New Zealand | Cricket
Ranchi, November 19, 2021 19:03 IST
Updated: November 21, 2021 07:20 IST
Harshal Patel makes a fine impression on his debut; R. Ashwin puts the skids on the Kiwis again
Deepak Chahar celebrates with his teammates after dismissing New Zealand batsman Martin Guptil during their 2nd Twenty20 cricket match at JSCA International Stadium Complex in Ranchi, Friday, Nov. 19, 2021. | Photo Credit: PTI
A clinical 117-run opening partnership between K.L. Rahul (65, 49b, 6x4, 2x6) and Rohit Sharma (55, 36b, 1x4, 5x6) helped India record a seven-wicket victory over New Zealand in the second T20I here on Friday.
The full house at the JSCA International Stadium Complex cheered the home team to an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.
India made short work of the 154-run target, completing the task with 16 deliveries to spare.
In total control
Rahul and Rohit stayed in control from the start of the chase. Rohit accelerated in the 10th over, bowled by left-arm spinner Mitchell Santner, carting two big sixes. Rohit received a life in the same over, on 29, when Trent Boult put down a regulation chance at long-on.
Rahul then got into the act, smacking Adam Milne for a six and a four.
The duo's exploits brought the required run rate to below seven. By the time Rahul and Rohit departed, India had effectively sealed the win.
Losing the plot
Earlier, New Zealand frittered away a great start to finish with a sub-par score. Openers Martin Guptill (31, 15b, 3x4, 2x6) and Daryl Mitchell (31, 28b, 3x4) attacked pacers Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Deepak Chahar to propel the side to 64 for one in six overs.
From here, the visitor added just 89 runs in 14 overs. R. Ashwin, Axar Patel and debutant Harshal Patel tightened the screws, turning the momentum India's way.
The middle-order — Mark Chapman (21, 17b, 3x4), Glenn Phillips (34, 21b, 1x3, 3x6) and Tim Seifert (13, 15b, 1x4) — erred by taking an overly cautious approach. Jimmy Neesham (3, 12b), expected to finish the innings with a bang, was terribly out of sorts. Ashwin, just like he did in the first T20I, spun a web around the batters. Axar was typically stingy with freebies.
Harshal was the most impressive of the lot, showing no signs of nerves. The slower deliveries, which had brought him so much success in the IPL, were on full display here. Time and again, batters committed early and got tangled up in awkward hitting positions.
Mitchell, who lobbed a cutter to long-on, was Harshal's maiden international wicket. Another cutter got rid of Phillips, who had only just begun to take on the quicks.
Guptill, meanwhile, overtook Virat Kohli to become the highest run-scorer in T20I cricket. He struck a couple of astonishing sixes off the speedsters, clearing his front leg and hitting golf-like tee shots to send the ball straight and far.
Dropped catches by Rahul and Venkatesh Iyer, which handed lives to Guptill and Phillips respectively, did not prove to be costly for India.

Q: prove the Limit of the sequence $A_{n}$, when $A_{1} = \sqrt{3}$ and $A_{n+1} = \sqrt{3A_{n}}$ is it sufficient to show that since the limit of a sequence $A_{m}$ where $\forall m, \;A_{m}=\sqrt{3}$ is just $\sqrt{3}=3^{\frac{1}{2}}$, the limit of $A_{n}$ will be 3 to some power? I know from looking at the terms of the sequence that $$\lim_{n \to \infty }A_{n}=3^{\frac{2^{n}-1}{2^{n}}}$$But im not sure how to go about proving it.

A: We have $A_1 = \sqrt{3} < 3$. Assume $A_n < 3 \Rightarrow A_{n+1} = \sqrt{3A_n} < \sqrt{3\cdot 3} = 3$. Thus by induction, $A_n < 3, \forall n \geq 1$. Also, by induction again, $A_{n+1} = \sqrt{3A_n} > \sqrt{3A_{n-1}} = A_n$. Thus $\{A_n\}$ is an increasing sequence. So it converges to some positive number $A$. Hence $A = \sqrt{3A} \Rightarrow A^2= 3A \Rightarrow A(A-3) = 0 \Rightarrow A = 3$ since $A > 0$.

A: HINT
Let $$A_n=3^{B_n}$$
Note that by induction, $$B_{n+1}=\frac{B_n+1}{2}$$
Now, $$B_{n+1}-1=\frac{B_n-1}{2}$$ implying $B_n-1$ is a geometric series where $B_1-1=-\frac{1}{2}$.

A: Let $f(x) = \sqrt{3x}$, note that $f(0) = 0$, $f(3) = 3$, and
for $x \in [0,3]$, we have $x \le f(x) \le 3$.
We have $A_{n+1} = f(A_n)$.
Since $\sqrt{3} \in [0,3]$, we see that $A_n$ is non decreasing and
$\sqrt{3} \le A_n \le 3$. Hence $A_n \uparrow A$ for some $\sqrt{3} \le A \le 3$.
Then $f(A) = A$ by continuity, and hence $A= 3$.

The Princess From Hallingdal
Inga Josefine Ibsdotter Lilleaas is long, almost as long as her name. With her bright red lipstick and blue puppy eyes she emerges as a Hollywood princess. Imagine Liv Tyler accidentally straying into the Starbucks in Nordregate, Trondheim. All of this despite the fact that she originates from a small farm and prefers her coffee black.
As a matter of fact, she's not only a trained rider (the family has two horses), but she also has basic shooting skills.
– I've taken some classes, and shot with my dad. It requires precision and concentration, which is delicious, but most of all I like bangs, she says laughing apologetically.
Despite having, in the film Kvinner i for store herreskjorter, played against Hallvard Holmen, Henriette Steenstrup and Anne Krigsvoll, she does not necessarily like the thought of fame:
– I would like to have attention for the work I do. I'm working on stuff I want people to see, and I make it not only for myself. In that sense, I'd surely like to have recognition for the work I do, but …
She pauses for a bit, squinting her eyes.
– … everything surrounding it seems uncomfortable. It scares me a little.
The film was recorded with the help of students. This is not the first time Inga has worked with them, she played in a work commissioned for ISFiT in 2009 while studying psychology at NTNU. She insists that she enjoys working with students from Trondheim, and that those she worked with this time were super professional, good people.
Hallvard was also very talented, she thinks:
– He is a very funny man. Very nice and supportive! It's very good when you are new and do not quite know what you're going into. It's good that those you're working with are aware of it and take care of you.
The character she plays in the film, Sigrid, was defined in advance as author Gunhild Øyehaug had already written the script. Nevertheless, she has helped to shape it.
– It's silly to get to the set and believe you know the character better than her, because I don't. I've made suggestions, but kept to her definition of the character. On the other hand, I certainly colored the character with my own ideas!
In the film Sigrid falls in love with the older writer Kåre Tryvle, played by Holmen. There are two sex scenes in the film and one scene where the two characters are flirting. The sex scene was difficult to record, not least because it took place in a small room at Bakklandet where it was very hot and many people were involved.
– Being intimate is intimate, whether it's real or not. Being naked and pretending to be close to someone you aren't close to is basically a stressful situation. Luckily you become accustomed to it, and everyone approaches it with professionalism, knowing that it is difficult. It is generally difficult for the body to go through.
Inga says herself that she comes from a physical theater school, where she was doing acrobatics. In addition, she has been dancing.
– I'm very bad at taking choreography! I prefer doing improvisation.
If one takes into account her one-year program in psychology, and the fact that she knows the Halling accent, as well as accents from the east and north of Norway and learned Portuguese as an exchange student to Brazil, it is not hard to imagine her as something close to the perfect actress. As if to emphasize this she insists that she is just as happy on stage as in front of the camera, in the same way that she enjoys the cinema and theatre equally as sources of entertainment. Yet she is humble.
– I feel very privileged and have worked very hard all my life for my ambitions. I feel like I've come a long way already, and it's a very good feeling. I feel really privileged to have the opportunity to do things like this film role which many others my age could have done just as well.
When asked who she most would like to play against, she is uncertain:
– It's the kind of question I must have time to prepare myself for. I can't choose or remember who I love on the spot! How would you respond?
– I very much like the work of Leonardo DiCaprio, I say.
She smiles.
– There are so many to choose from! If I were to choose realistically I think it would have to be Espen Skjønberg. I think he's incredibly clever. Don't quite know what it would have been in then … probably something new … a story about an old man and a young lady, she says.
Whether it's humility or pride that drives her, so she insists on taking the time – along with fellow star Anne Krigsvoll – to be present when Gunhild Øyehaug reads from Vente, blinke after the interview. This despite the fact that no one in the audience seem to heed neither her nor Anne. Strange really, that no one bats an eyelid at the sight of a Norwegian film star who looks like a Hollywood princess. And that is long, almost as long as her name.


What is Classified as a Commercial Mortgage?
As well as mortgages for trading businesses, commercial mortgages is a category that includes semi-commercial mortgages and can also include HMO mortgages and Buy to Let portfolios. Many lenders have different classifications in terms of what is dealt with by their commercial department and what is not and equally, the FCA have their own view.
Why is the classification important?
It's not important to your clients but in terms of how lenders assess mortgages, the basis on which they make the assessment and the regulatory environment, it matters a great deal. That said, transacting commercial mortgages is completely different to handling a residential or standard buy to let mortgage which is where Brilliant Solutions helps. Regardless of what the lender or regulator's classification is, we can help brokers find the best solution for your clients. We can even take over commercial mortgages for you and pay you an excellent referral commission if you do not want to be involved.
Remember, limited company buy to lets, HMOs and even Buy to Lets can all be considered commercial mortgages and Brilliant covers all of these scenarios as well as semi-commercial and business mortgages.
Our commercial mortgages expertise is unique in that it works hand in hand with our other teams to ensure that all options are considered. This means that the label given to the mortgage does not matter; all that matters is that we will find you and your client the best deal we can. Furthermore, we even have commercial mortgages available direct to lender so that you can deal with the lender and the client with as much or as little involvement as you like from us. Now that's Brilliant!
So whether it is classified as a commercial mortgage or not, you are in safe hands with Brilliant Solutions.

Most evictions are banned through June. What you need to know
Scott Heins | Getty Images News | Getty Images
Most renters struggling during the coronavirus pandemic won't have to worry about being pushed out of their homes for at least another three months.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has extended the national eviction ban that's been in place since September through the end of June.
Around 20% of adult renters said they didn't pay last month's rent, according to a survey published in March by the Census Bureau. Closer to 33% of Black renters reported the same.
Four months behind on rent, he got help from his landlord
More than 2,000 organizations urge Biden to extend eviction ban
What to know about applying for some of the $45 billion in rental aid
Here's what you need to know about the protection.
What does the ban do?
Under the moratorium, most tenants struggling to pay their rent amid the pandemic cannot be evicted through June 30.

Eligibility can be met in a few ways.
If you received a stimulus check in 2020 or 2021, didn't have to report any income to the IRS in 2020 or earned less than $99,000 as an individual or $198,000 as a joint filer, you're protected by the ban.
In addition, you'll need to attest on a declaration form that you're unable to make your full housing payment because of financial setbacks, including a substantial drop in income or high out-of-pocket medical expenses.
What do I have to do to invoke the protection?
If you meet the above requirements, you have to sign this declaration and give it to your landlord.
"If a tenant cannot pay the rent, they should provide the declaration to their property owner as soon as possible," said Emily Benfer, an eviction expert and a visiting professor of law at Wake Forest University.
What if my landlord ignores it?
The CDC's eviction ban has been criticized for lacking adequate enforcement, and hundreds of thousands of people have been pushed out of their homes despite the policy.
That may soon change.
With this extension of the moratorium, regulators, including the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Federal Trade Commission, have vowed to crack down on violations by property owners. And on the new declaration form, landlords are threatened with fines and imprisonment if they don't comply.
If your landlord ignores the ban after you've given them the declaration, file a complaint with the CFPB. You should also promptly seek legal help.
Sometimes the paperwork you receive with the hearing date of your eviction will have the contact information for legal services in your area.
If not, you should be able to find your agency online, said Alexis Erkert, a lawyer at Southeast Louisiana Legal Services. "The court may also be able to give people contact information," Erkert said.
You can find low-cost or free legal help regarding an eviction in your state at Lawhelp.org.
One study in New Orleans found that more than 65% of tenants with no legal representation were evicted, compared with fewer than 15% of those who did have a lawyer.
Should I still pay my rent?

The CDC's order doesn't relieve you of your obligation to pay rent. You want to try your hardest to keep up with your bills during the pandemic to avoid racking up debt and being evicted come July.
Between the federal stimulus package passed in December and the one that passed this month, there's now more than $45 billion in financial assistance available to those who've fallen behind on their rent.
Get in line for the funds as soon as possible.
"Where or how to apply will vary city by city," Benfer said.
Many areas already had existing rental assistance funds, and it will be through one of these that you apply for the new aid. In other cases, new programs will be created to disburse the money, Benfer said.
"Renters should contact local housing groups, their representatives or the local 211/311 lines to identify programs and learn how to apply," she added.
The National Low Income Housing Coalition has a database of rental assistance programs, too.
At Justshelter.org, you can search for other community resources for people struggling to pay their rent.

Outsourcing and offshoring wave has peaked?
This is from Information Week's outsourcing email newsletter:
Editor's Note: Indian Call Centers May No Longer Be Worth The Trouble
While offshoring call center work to India can save businesses millions, the practice can very quickly become a boondoggle if quality of service slips. The latest example of this came last week when a British Telecom executive called those customers who complain about being routed to an offshore service agent "bigots."
The word was uttered by Meryl Bushell, BT's chief procurement officer, speaking at a business conference in London. Referring to the often hostile reaction of BT customers not pleased that they must deal with a service rep who is thousands of miles away and whose command of English may be quite dodgy, Bushell said the following: "There are some bigots who are very rude. There are times I have been ashamed to be British."
With those words, Bushell flunked marketing 101. She is effectively blaming the customer for a problem of BT's own making. How else does she expect customers to respond if they're forced to deal with an agent who, in the worst case, is unintelligible and, in the best case, is restricted to walking callers through a forest of scripted responses that may have little bearing on the problem at hand?
This isn't just an issue for BT. In my own experience of late, I've noticed a sharp decline in the English proficieny of the Indian call center workers I deal with in my daily life. I think the reason is fairly obvious. More and more businesses are rushing to place call center work in India but the country's supply of workers capable of conversing freely in English as it is spoken in the West is limited. More and more, Indians with marginal English skills are being put into customer facing call center positions with predictable results–frustration at both ends of the call.
This bodes ill for the growth of the Indian call center industry. IT outsourcing to the country will continue to skyrocket because technical work is not as dependent on language and heavy accents don't matter so much when writing, say, a Web services application. But call center work is quite different. As more and more businesses receive complaints about poor customer service from India, I suspect many of them will reevaluate whether the savings are worth it.
There are plenty of middle-cost areas where English is the first language, such as Australia, Canada, Ireland, Scotland, or middle America, that may provide better overall value for a company's call center dollar. Those are places with which Meryl Bushell and BT should become more familiar, instead of just blaming their customers for refusing to accept poor service.

Difference Between Sephora and Ulta
• Categorized under Fashion & Beauty,Product & Services | Difference Between Sephora and Ulta
Diving into the beauty realm cannot be complete without an analysis of some of the leading beauty stores. In the process, confusion blends in, and it becomes a tough one deciding where to shop. Two of these beauty product retailers are Sephora and Ulta.
Despite being in the same retailing line, the two have identifying and distinct characteristics that make them dissimilar. They are competitors, and one would want to invest in reading about their striking differences if they are always confused about which is which.
What is Sephora?
Sephora is a multinational chain of stores that deals with personal care and beauty products. Founded back in 1969 in Limoges, the Paris based outlet features nearly 300 different brands. This is in addition to its private label that features products made by the company and bear its name.
In 1993, Dominique Mandonnaud acquired Sephora and merged it with his perfume chain but using the Sephora brand. Dominique went ahead to found and implement Sephora's "assisted self-service" which improved the sales experience. This saw customers get the rare opportunity of trying products in store before buying them.
It was later to be sold to LVMH in July 1997. It is then that it expanded worldwide and bolstered Sephora's product offerings expanding it to offer cosmetic and beauty products.
Sephora's Major Brands
Sephora features a myriad of beauty products. These include
Too Faced Cosmetics
First Aid Beauty, among others.
What is Ulta?
Operating as Ulta Beauty Inc. and formerly known as Ulta Salon, Cosmetics & Fragrance Inc., Ulta is a United States chain of beauty stores. Headquartered in Bolingbrook, Illinois, Ulta Beauty stocks skincare and cosmetic brands, hair care products, and men's and women's fragrances.
Ulta Beauty was born in 1989 by a former Osco Drug, Inc. employee who had a vision for a new concept of offering both lower- and higher-end products in retail. He was later joined by his former colleagues, and together they raised $11.5 million to boost the venture capital which led to the official launch of Ulta Beauty in 1990.
As of 2017, Ulta Beauty had stock in over 20,000 products. As of August 4th 2018, it is believed to have had 1,124 stores in the District of Columbia as well as in 49 American States.
Ulta's Major Products
Ulta stocks among them fragrances, nail, hair, and skin products, and makeup. It also has bath products and drugstore cosmetics.
Listed below are the striking differences between the two beauty retailers:
Year of founding
Sephora was founded in 1969 in Limoges France while Ulta was born in 1989 and formally launched in 1990 by Richard E. George.
Sephora is headquartered in Paris, Frances while Ulta has its headquarters in Bolingbrook, Illinois, U.S.
Sephora Products and Brands Vs. Ulta Products and Brands
Sephora's brands include Make Up For Ever, NARS Cosmetics, Lancome Cosmetics, Anastasia Beverly Hills, Benefit Cosmetics, Urban Decay, Too Faced Cosmetics, and First Aid Beauty. Ulta also stocks beauty products, but their major line includes hair care and skincare products, nail products, makeup, and fragrances for men and women.
Sephora's collection includes over 300 brands and over 17,000 products while Ulta's collection includes over 500 brands and over 20,000 products.
Sephora is a multinational retailer with a presence in different countries across the globe. As of 2017, Sephora had 2,300 stores across 33 countries. Ulta, on the other hand, is a U.S. based retailer with 1,107 (as of 2018) stores in 49 American states as well as in the District of Columbia.
Stocking Strategy
While Ulta focuses on stocking both the luxury and affordable drugstore brands, Sephora only focuses on luxury brands.
Sephora Vs. Ulta: Comparison Table
Summary of Sephora Vs. Ulta
The battle of the beauty products retailers continues growing. The different retailers are in return doing their best to keep their customers and earn new ones. This has seen each invest differently and in varied approaches to ensure they reach their goals. All these strategies make the sharp distinctions between them and can easily help one draw a conclusion on how Sephora is different from Ulta and vice versa.

'Overloaded' weak snowpack continues to pose avalanche risk
Whistler Blackcomb patroller caught in Jan. 1 slide during avalanche control work
Brandon Barrett / PIque Newsmagazine
AVY WARNING: Avalanche Canada is recommending against travel through backcountry avalanche terrain, after a dry fall and heavy recent snowfall has combined to create a weak snowpack across the Sea to Sky.

A weak snowpack that has been "overloaded" with new snowfall in recent days continues to pose a risk for backcountry recreationalists, according to Avalanche Canada.
"Clearing skies may lure you into bigger terrain, but this is not the time to expose yourself," read a Tuesday, Jan. 7 advisory from the national forecasting organization. "The recent snow may remain touchy and it has loaded a weak snowpack in parts of the region. The snowpack will need time to stabilize."
At press time, the danger rating for the Sea to Sky was at high for alpine and treeline areas. Travel through backcountry avalanche terrain is not recommended.
More than 50 centimetres of snow fell on the corridor above 1,500-metre elevation on Monday, Jan. 6, which "may be loading a touchy weak layer of feathery surface hoard buried around 100 to 150 cm," the forecast read. Multiple weak layers are buried deeper in the snowpack, including a variable layer of surface hoar and crust from mid-December as well as "a deeper layer of sugary facets and crust" from late-November, Avalanche Canada said.
"It's been quite stormy for the last few weeks but the fall was relatively dry, so that set up a weak snowpack structure, so when there was little snow on the ground in November and early December, it formed a lot of weak snow, and since then, these past few weeks when it's been snowing harder, the bottom of the snowpack isn't able to support the weight of this new snow," explained Avalanche Canada forecaster Simon Horton in an interview this week. "We've seen what we call 'persistent slab avalanches,' which are much thicker than what you'd typically get just during a storm."
Guess what... there's another storm coming! 🌨 We're expecting lots of new snow for the South Coast area in particular. Freezing levels will fall to around 500m, so elevated avalanche danger will be a concern at all elevations.

— Avalanche Canada (@avalancheca) January 10, 2020
On Friday, Jan. 3, Avalanche Canada took the rare step of raising the danger rating to extreme for the corridor.
"We typically see extreme ratings about once or twice per year and that's across all of Western Canada," noted Horton, who added that it was "a combination of a very high probability of avalanches and the fact that the avalanches are expected to be very large" that led to the rating.
Whistler Blackcomb (WB) has kept alpine terrain closed so far this year due to what it called an "unusual and unstable snowpack."
"Whistler Blackcomb Patrol has an industry leading avalanche control program to mitigate risks in our upper alpine. Over the last two weeks, the resort has experienced a large snowfall in a short amount of time," read a Jan. 7 statement.
In the same release, WB also confirmed a ski patroller was caught in a slide on the morning of Jan. 1 while conducting routine avalanche control in a closed area. While WB wouldn't disclose the location, sources told Pique the slide took place on Pika's Traverse on Whistler Mountain and briefly submerged the patroller before being rescued. WB said the patroller was uninjured and voluntarily returned to work the same day.
Marc Riddell, communications director for Vail Resorts West Coast, advised the public to obey all signage and rope lines to stay safe. "They're there for a reason," he said.

Die Babenberger waren ein österreichisches Markgrafen- und Herzogsgeschlecht fränkisch-bayerischer Herkunft. Der Name bezieht sich auf Bamberg im heutigen Oberfranken. Sie herrschten von 976 bis zu ihrem Aussterben 1246 – vor dem Aufstieg des Hauses Habsburg – als Markgrafen und Herzöge in Österreich.

Abstammung und Beinamen

Der Zusammenhang der österreichischen mit den fränkischen Babenbergern, auch ältere Babenberger genannt, wurde seit dem Mittelalter immer wieder behauptet. Von der Wissenschaft wird die direkte Herleitung von den fränkischen Babenbergern heute nicht weiter verfolgt. Da die österreichischen Babenberger aus dem baierischen Hochadel stammen, ist eine Verwandtschaft naheliegend und wird über mütterliche Vorfahren vermutet. Die Abstammung von den Luitpoldingern wird durch verschiedene Theorien und Indizien heute als wahrscheinlich angenommen. Der erste Babenberger Luitpold war wahrscheinlich ein Sohn oder Enkel des bayerischen Herzogs Arnulf des Bösen. Er war zudem Bruder oder Neffe des Schweinfurter Grafen Berthold.

Weder hat sich das Geschlecht zu Lebzeiten selbst als "Babenberger" bezeichnet, noch hatten die Mitglieder ihre heute gängigen Beinamen. Die Beinamen der Babenberger wurden erstmals von Ladislaus Sunthaym systematisch verwendet, der sie in seiner Genealogie der Babenberger gegen Ende des 15. Jahrhunderts zugeordnet hat.

Die Babenberger als Regenten

Markgrafen

976 wurde Luitpold erstmals als Graf der wiedererrichteten Marcha orientalis (Ostmark/Ostarrîchi) genannt, eines Gebiets von nicht mehr als 100 Kilometern Länge an der Ostgrenze Baierns, das sich zum Herzogtum Österreich entwickelte. Luitpold stand treu zu Kaiser Otto II. Er wurde nach der Niederwerfung des bairischen Aufstandes 976 als Markgraf eingesetzt. Er dehnte seinen Herrschaftsbereich auf Kosten der Ungarn nach Osten bis zum Wagram aus. Nördlich der Donau beherrschte er nur einen schmalen Landstreifen, während südlich Rodungen bis weit ins Voralpenland vorgenommen wurden.

994 ging das Markgrafenamt auf seinen Sohn Heinrich I. über. Auf Heinrich, der die Politik seines Vaters fortführte, folgte 1018 sein Bruder Adalbert, dessen bemerkenswerte Treue zu den Kaisern Heinrich II. und Heinrich III. durch viele Gunstbezeugungen belohnt wurde, und 1055 sein Neffe Ernst. Unter Adalbert wurden Leitha, March und Thaya Grenzflüsse; sie waren es viele Jahrhunderte oder sind es heute noch.

Der nachfolgende Markgraf Leopold II. schwankte im Investiturstreit, stellte sich aber letztlich unter dem Einfluss des Bischofs Altmann von Passau auf die Seite des Papstes Gregor VII., Heinrich IV. war es allerdings trotz Leopolds Niederlage bei Mailberg 1082 nicht möglich, ihn aus der Mark zu vertreiben oder die Nachfolge durch seinen Sohn Leopold III. im Jahre 1096 zu verhindern. Im Streit zwischen Kaiser Heinrich IV. und dessen Sohn Heinrich V. stellte Leopold III. sich auf die Seite des Sohnes, wurde aber auf die Seite des Kaisers gezogen und heiratete 1106 dessen Tochter Agnes, Witwe des Herzogs Friedrich I. von Schwaben. In der Folgezeit bemühte er sich darum, seinen Landbesitz zu vermehren und abzurunden: Er zog verfallene Lehen ein, kaufte und erbte. In Klosterneuburg baute er eine Residenz. 1125 lehnte er die Königskrone ab. Sein Eifer bei Klostergründungen (vor allem in Klosterneuburg) brachte ihm den Beinamen der Fromme und 1485 die Heiligsprechung durch Papst Innozenz VIII. ein. Er gilt als Landespatron von Wien, Niederösterreich und Oberösterreich.

Herzöge

Der fünfte von Leopolds Söhnen war Otto, Bischof von Freising. Sein ältester Sohn, Leopold IV., wurde 1136 Markgraf und erhielt 1139 von König Konrad III. das Herzogtum Bayern, das Heinrich dem Stolzen aus dem Geschlecht der Welfen entzogen worden war.

Leopolds Bruder Heinrich Jasomirgott wurde 1140 Pfalzgraf bei Rhein und nach Leopolds Tod 1141 Markgraf von Österreich. Nach seiner Heirat mit Gertrude, der Witwe Heinrichs des Stolzen, wurde er 1143 mit dem Herzogtum Bayern belehnt und trat von seinem Amt als Pfalzgraf zurück. 1147 nahm er am Zweiten Kreuzzug teil. Nach seiner Rückkehr verzichtete er auf Betreiben des neuen Königs Friedrich I. auf Bayern. Der Sohn Heinrichs des Stolzen, Heinrich der Löwe, erlangte Bayern als Erbberechtigter zunächst zurück. Als Ersatz für den Verlust des Herzogtums Bayern wurde die Markgrafschaft Österreich, deren Hauptstadt 1146 nach Wien verlegt worden war, zu einem Herzogtum und Heinrich Jasomirgott in den Herzogstand erhoben (Privilegium minus 1156). Um 1155 errichtete er den Babenberger Hof in Wien als neue Residenz, nachdem er seine Residenz von Klosterneuburg dorthin verlegt hatte. Dieser Hof blieb Wohnsitz der Babenberger bis etwa 1275, als an der Stelle des heutigen Schweizertrakts der Hofburg eine neue Burg erbaut wurde.

Der zweite Herzog war Heinrichs Sohn Leopold V., der ihm 1177 nachfolgte und an den Kreuzzügen von 1182 und 1190 teilnahm. In Palästina geriet er mit König Richard Löwenherz in Streit; er nahm Richard auf dessen Heimreise gefangen und übergab ihn Kaiser Heinrich VI. Er bekam 50.000 Silbermark, die Hälfte des von England bezahlten Lösegelds, und gründete damit Wiener Neustadt, ließ Wien ausbauen und sorgte generell für ein Wirtschaftswachstum. Leopold erweiterte die Territorien des Hauses Babenberg durch den Erwerb der Steiermark nach dem Testament seines Verwandten Ottokar IV. Er starb 1192, worauf Österreich an seinen Sohn Friedrich und die Steiermark an seinen anderen Sohn Leopold fielen. Nach Friedrichs Tod 1198 wurden Österreich und die Steiermark von Herzog Leopold VI. dem Glorreichen wieder vereinigt.

Der neue Herzog kämpfte in Spanien, Ägypten und Palästina gegen die Sarazenen, wird heute aber mehr als Gesetzgeber, Förderer der Literatur und Stadtgründer geschätzt. Unter ihm wurde Wien ein Zentrum der Kultur im Heiligen Römischen Reich und insbesondere der großen Schule der Minnesänger. In seinen späteren Jahren hatte er Streit mit seinem Sohn Friedrich. Er starb 1230 in San Germano, wohin er gegangen war, um zwischen Kaiser Friedrich II. und Papst Gregor IX. Frieden zu stiften.

Ende

Der Sohn von Leopold VI., Friedrich II., folgte ihm als Herzog nach und bekam den Beinamen der Streitbare aufgrund andauernder Kämpfe mit seinen Ministerialen unter Führung der Kuenringer, den Königen von Ungarn und Böhmen sowie mit dem Kaiser. Er raubte die Besitzungen seiner Mutter und seiner Schwester und war bei seinen Untertanen wegen seiner Unterdrückungspolitik verhasst. Er fiel 1236 unter die Reichsacht und wurde aus Österreich vertrieben. Nach der Exkommunikation des Kaisers verhandelte er erfolglos mit dem römisch-deutschen Kaiser Friedrich II. um die Erhebung Österreichs zu einem Königreich. Er starb am 15. Juni 1246 im Kampf gegen die Ungarn an der Leitha. Mit seinem Tod erloschen die Babenberger im Mannesstamm. Da das Privilegium minus auch eine weibliche Erbfolge zuließ, war die Nachfolge in Österreich und Steiermark unter den noch lebenden weiblichen Verwandten Friedrichs umstritten. Seine Nichte Gertrud, Tochter seines bereits 1228 verstorbenen älteren Bruders Heinrich, heiratete 1246 Markgraf Vladislav von Mähren, einen Sohn des böhmischen Königs Wenzel I. Diese Ehe war schon 1238 vereinbart, jedoch von Friedrich immer wieder hinausgezögert worden. Vladislav starb wenige Monate später am 3. Januar 1247. Daraufhin heiratete Gertrud 1248 den badischen Markgrafen Hermann VI., der auch bereits 1250 verstarb. Der dieser Ehe entstammende Sohn Friedrich führte bis zu seinem Tod 1268 den Titel Herzog von Österreich und Steier, konnte aber nie die tatsächliche Herrschaft erringen. Der österreichische Adel wandte sich 1251 an den böhmischen König. Dessen Sohn Ottokar marschierte daraufhin Ende 1251 in Österreich ein und heiratete 1252 Margarete, die Schwester Friedrichs II., und wurde so Herzog von Österreich. Gertrud verbündete sich daraufhin mit dem ungarischen König Béla IV. und heiratete 1252 Roman von Halicz, einen Verwandten Bélas. Nachdem sich Roman in Österreich militärisch nicht hatte durchsetzen können, ließ er sich 1253 scheiden und kehrte nach Ungarn zurück. Ottokar, der 1253 seinem Vater Wenzel I. als König von Böhmen gefolgt war, einigte sich 1254 mit Béla IV. und überließ diesem die Steiermark. Ottokar besiegte Béla 1260 auf dem Marchfeld, der daraufhin im Frieden von Wien am 31. März 1261 die Steiermark an Böhmen abtrat. Ottokar, der sich 1261 von Margarete trennte, beherrschte somit Österreich und Steiermark. Nach dem Tode Ottokars in der Schlacht auf dem Marchfeld 1278 fiel das Erbe der Babenberger an das Haus Habsburg.

Zahlreiche Regenten aus dem Geschlecht der Babenberger sind im Kapitelsaal von Stift Heiligenkreuz bestattet.

Wappen
Das Stammwappen der österreichischen Babenberger zeigte auf goldenem Grund zwei schwarze Löwen untereinander und steht möglicherweise mit dem Wappen der verwandten schwäbischen Staufer in Zusammenhang. Die babenbergische Sekundogeniturlinie Mödling führte drei schwarze Löwen untereinander auf goldenem Grund. Die rot-weiß-rote Lehensfahne der Eppensteiner kam über die steirischen Traungauer und die steirischen Otakare 1192 auf die österreichischen Babenberger. Schließlich wurde daraus der rot-weiß-rote Bindenschild Österreichs, dem schließlichen Machtzentrum der Babenberger, und ließ die ursprünglichen Babenberger Wappenlöwen in den Hintergrund und schließlich in Vergessenheit geraten. Konserviert haben sie sich allerdings im Wappen Kärntens, denn als die Babenberger 1246 im Mannesstamm erloschen waren, legte Herzog Ulrich III. von Kärnten sein Pantherwappen ab und kreierte ein Anspruchswappen, um seinen Erbanspruch auf das babenbergische Erbe zu unterstreichen. Begründet war der Anspruch darin, dass Ulrichs Großmutter eine geborene Babenbergerin und Ulrich selbst durch seine beiden Ehen mit den Babenbergern nah verschwägert war. Das neue Wappen zeigte vorn die drei schwarzen Löwen (Babenberg-Mödling) auf goldenem Grund und hinten den österreichischen rot-weiß-roten Bindenschild. In der Form wurde es von den Meinhardinern als den nachfolgenden Herzögen von Kärnten als Geschlechtswappen übernommen, und auch von den Habsburgern als deren Rechtsnachfolger, im mehrfeldrigen Wappen für das Herzogtum Kärnten.

Managing products, orders, and customer information is much easier with Intuit's QuickBooks. There are two ways to integrate your store with QuickBooks: through IIF file export and through Intuit's Web Connector software. This article will focus on Web Connector integration.
Web Connector uses the Volusion API, which is included with Pro, Premium, Gold, and Platinum plans.
Your store must be live on your domain for Web Connector to work.
Your domain must have an active SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) installed.
For a full list of requirements for using Web Connector with Volusion, see our main article on QuickBooks Web Connector.
Note: The screenshot examples shown in this article are from the QuickBooks Pro 2006 Edition. Your version may differ slightly.
Intuit's Web Connector enables web-based applications like Volusion to exchange data with QuickBooks products so you can manage your store's data with Intuit's software.
Go to Inventory > Import/Export and click the QuickBooks Export tab.
In the Reset Export Status section on the right side of the page, click the drop-down next to the Reset button. If it shows any dates, this indicates you have used IIF and will need to reset your data. The best way to do this is to open a new company file in QuickBooks (see Step 7: Company Data File), because when IIF data is imported, it doesn't sync with Web Connector data.
Click Enable in the Accounting section next to QuickBooks.
Click Manage QuickBooks Web Connector Here.
*The Web Connector version depends on the version of QuickBooks you're using. Remember that without an SSL, your store won't be able to connect the Web Connector. If you don't already have one, you can purchase an SSL directly from Volusion.
From your Web Connector API page, click Edit next to Make Changes to Config Variables.
You can use the default account names if you have a blank company file and want the Web Connector to create the accounts for you. If you want to change account names to match current accounts in QuickBooks, make sure you use the correct account types. If an account with the name provided is not found in QuickBooks, it will be created in QuickBooks. You can click on the Info icon next to any field to learn more about what account names are needed. Please note that all of these fields must be unique and no two accounts can use the same name.
If you want to import your orders as Sales Receipts, QuickBooks Map SPL ACCNT must be an account of type Bank. QuickBooks QBWC Y Invoice N SalesReceipt must not be selected.
If you want to import your orders as Invoice, Config QuickBooks Map SPL ACCNT must be an account of type Accounts Receivable. Config QuickBooks QBWC Y Invoice N SalesReceipt must be selected.
The difference between sending orders as sales receipts and sending them as invoices is that the payment must be received on the order for it to be sent to QuickBooks (when using sales receipts). If you send orders as invoices, the Web Connector will import all orders regardless of payment status. Once your store receives the funds, the payment will be updated in QuickBooks and show the invoice as Paid the next time you run your Web Connector.
You cannot use an account more than once in the mapping.
Do not use special characters in the account name fields. This includes ":", which means you cannot use QuickBooks sub-accounts.
No field can be left blank (with the exception of QuickBooks Order Date Beg Blank For All).
The tax is not sent as "tax" to QuickBooks; it is sent as an item. Therefore, make sure the QuickBooks Map SPL Tax INVITEM is a type of Service and not Tax.
Turn off Tax in your QuickBooks company file because tax is sent as a service item.
In QuickBooks, go to Edit > Preferences and then go to Sales Tax > Company Preferences.
Under Do You Charge Sales Tax? choose No.
If you'd like to make changes to the mapping for QuickBooks, you'll need to update the account name and reset the Config Variables.
Go to Inventory > Import/Export and click the Volusion API tab.
From the Reset Config Vars menu, choose the earliest date, wait for the page to refresh, and click Reset.
Go to Edit the Config Variables, make your changes, and save your work.
If you need your products to go into a different income account than what is listed in your general mapping, go to the appropriate product record in your Admin Area and open the 3rd Party Integrations tab under Advanced Info.
QuickBooks Item Accnt: Used to assign a specific item account within QuickBooks to a product within your store. When using Volusion's QuickBooks integration, a product will be reported under the item account specified in this field. Note that by default, all products appear within the item account defined in the QuickBooks mapping settings in your store, unless a specific item account is specified here.
Please Note: If you use any of these fields in your product records, the accounts must first exist in your QuickBooks company file. The Web Connector will not create the accounts for you as it will with the general mapping.
Choose which admin to use with your QWC file from the dropdown menu. You'll need this administrator password later, so please make a note of it. Click Create and save to your computer (i.e. on your desktop).
Important note: This step cannot be performed in Internet Explorer. We recommend that you use Firefox when downloading this file.
First, open QuickBooks to the company file you'll be using. Click here to see an example of a new blank company file.
Open QuickBooks and go to File > New Company. This will take you to the Get Started guide. You can start the interview or skip it. If you click Start Interview, you'll see the EasyStep Interview screen. If you click Skip Interview, you'll see the Create New Company window.
Save your new company file.
That's it! You now have a new blank company file to use with your Web Connector.
Open QuickBooks to the company file you want to use.
Open the Web Connector, and click Add Application.
Find the file you saved in step six, above.
Once you choose and add the file, your Web Connector should look like this.
In the Password field, enter the admin password from Step 6, above.
Check the box to the left of the Web Connector Application description.
You should see all the accounts you listed in the general mapping.
Click the Shortcut link under Company on the homepage in QuickBooks to verify your products were imported.
Click on the Customers tab on your QuickBooks homepage. The customers are imported using First Name/Last Name/CustomerID. Do not modify once imported or the connector will fail to import data the next time it tries to update the customer or import an order made by the customer.
To view their order, click on the Invoice line.
On the QuickBooks homepage, go to Check Register under Banking to verify orders and funds imported successfully (if you sent orders as sales receipts only).
Please note that certain information from your store won't be sent to QuickBooks, including the customer's payment method, RMAs, POs, etc.
You can set up the Web Connector to Auto-Run up to 12 times per day. To do this, open the Web Connector, add your application, and select the Auto-Run check box. Under the Every_Min column, enter "120". Since you are only allowed 12 connections per 24 hours, the 120 minutes will allow 12 per day. You still need to have your QuickBooks company file, Admin Area, and Web Connector open for it to work.
The mapping in your Admin Area is incorrect – wrong account types, duplicate accounts listed, special characters being used, etc.
You previously used the IIF export method (or manually input items into QuickBooks), and the account types don't match those the connector is trying to use. This often results in a looping at 30%, and the easiest solution is to create a new company file to use with the Web Connector.
If you need to use the company file that exists, de-bugging can be a laborious ordeal and may take time to resolve all the issues (including changing product codes in Volusion or QuickBooks, among other things). Please keep this in mind when contacting Volusion support.
You use a free shipping coupon in your store, which creates a line item with a price of "0.00". All items in an order must have a price or they cannot be imported. To resolve the free shipping coupon issue, you will need to remove the coupon from the order and save.
if you've created customers without assigning them an access key, then their order information will not be sent to QuickBooks. If you're missing certain orders in QuickBooks, make sure that the order has an associated customer with an access key.
QuickBooks cannot accept orders with negative order amounts. If you have discounts or returns on an order that are causing the order to be negative, you would either need to remove the discount so that it matches the order, or update the payment log to "zero" out the amount due on an order.
If you make phone orders, make sure you are using product codes that exist in your database. Do not include spaces or line breaks in the product codes. Product Codes should not contain any special characters. Use letters, numbers, underscore, dashes, or periods only.

Anti-Psychotics Overprescribed to Kids
Over 389,000 children and teenagers were prescribed an atypical antipsychotic called Risperdal last year. More than 240,000 of these were under 12-years-old. The problem, according to a panel of federal drug experts that met Tuesday, is that many of the patients were given the drug to treat attention deficit disorders. Risperdal is not approved to treat ADD. The risks of Risperdal, which can be permanent, include weight gain, muscular tics, and metabolic disorders. Panel members say these risks are "too profound to justify its use" in treating ADD.
The panel was to meet to review the pediatric safety of Risperdal and Zyprexa, two atypical antipsychotics made by Johnson & Johnson and Eli Lilly & Company respectively. Officials from the FDA were hoping the committee would endorse the agency's routine monitoring of the safety of the medications, as well as support previous efforts to highlight the risks. However, the panel unanimously rejected proposals put forth by the FDA. The panel says more needs to be done to discourage the growing use of these medications in children, especially to treat conditions the drugs are not meant for. Agency officials and spokespeople from the manufacturers said strongly worded warnings were already placed on the labels. Other drugs the panel is concerned about include Seroquel, Abilify and Geodon.
According to a report in the New York Times, prescription rates for these drugs has dramatically increased in the last 15 years, and they are now used by doctors to control aggression and outbursts in children by diagnosing them with a variety of issues. Children are particularly susceptible to the side effects of these antipsychotics.
One of the most popular diagnoses is pediatric bipolar disorder. A leading proponent of this diagnosis is Harvard University child psychiatrist Dr. Joseph Biederman. Biederman's work recently came under scrutiny after a Congressional investigation showed he had not reported nearly $1.4 million to the university he received as outside income from the makers of antipsychotics.
Psychiatrists have written a majority of the prescriptions for Risperdal, and these prescriptions given to children 17 years and under have increased ten percent in the last year. Over 1,200 children have suffered serious problems related to Risperdal since 1993, and 31 have died. This includes a nine-year-old who suffered a stroke almost two weeks after Risperdal treatment started for ADD. Eleven of those deaths were children whose treatment by Risperdal was not approved by the FDA.
Doctors from the FDA claim the agency can't do much to fix the problem of off-label usage, and say medical specialy societies should be doing a better job at educating doctors about the side effects.

De San Felice da Cantalice a Centocelle is een kerk in Rome, gelegen aan het piazza San Felice da Cantalice in de wijk Prenestino-Centocelle. De kerk is gewijd aan de heilige Felix van Cantalice, de vrome kapucijn uit de zestiende eeuw. Het achtervoegsel a Centocelle is een verwijzing naar de Romeinse oudheid, toen zich hier honderd barakken bevonden van de Romeinse cavalerie.

De kerk werd tussen 1934 en 1935 gebouwd naar een ontwerp van de Italiaanse architecten Mario Paniconi en Giulio Pediconi. In 1941 werd de kerk gewijd door kardinaal-vicaris Luigi Traglia. Diens voorganger, kardinaal Francesco Marchetti Selvaggiani stichtte in 1935, met het decreet Sollicitudo omnium ecclesiarum, de gelijknamige parochie. De kerk is gebouwd op een stuk grond dat door de Romeinse markies Achilles Muti-Bussi geschonken was aan de minderbroeders kapucijnen. Dezen bouwden op het terrein eerst een convent en later de kerk, waarvan zij ook de bediening op zich namen. Niet toevallig ligt het complex in een gebied waar destijds veel armoede heerste. De markies wilde met zijn schenking vooral bijdragen aan de geestelijke en zedelijke verheffing van de armen en vond in de kapucijnen zijn bondgenoot.

Het gebouw is opgetrokken uit rode baksteen. Opvallend is de immense fresco op de voorgevel in de portiek van de kerk. Deze stelt Sint Felix voor in orantehouding. Deze fresco is van de hand van Ugolino da Belluno (pseudoniem van de kapucijner broeder Silvio Alessandri) die het kunstwerk vervaardigde in 1968. De fresco werd op 1 januari 1970 gezegend door paus Paulus VI.

Titelkerk
De kerk werd door Paulus VI in 1969 verheven tot titelkerk. Houders van de titel waren:
Stephen Kim Sou-hwan (1969 - 2009)
vacant (2009-2012)
Luis Antonio Tagle (sinds 2012)

Beirut Bears start new life in American sanctuary
FOUR PAWS flew two Syrian brown bears from Lebanon to Colorado
July 21, 2021 15:32 ET | Source: FOUR PAWS International FOUR PAWS International
Boston, MA, July 21, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FOUR PAWS, the global animal welfare organization, together with local NGO Animals Lebanon, rescued two Syrian brown bears, affectionately known to the team as the "Beirut Bears". The bears were removed from inadequate conditions in a private Lebanese zoo and transported out of Lebanon with the help and generous support of the Karmagawa Foundation.
Due to the economic collapse, civil unrest, and the global pandemic the previous owners of the 18-year-old bears were not able to provide them with proper food and medical care. FOUR PAWS was able to fly the rescued bears in the cargo hold of an Emirates passenger plane – with a brief layover in Dubai – to the United States. There they find a species-appropriate forever home at The Wild Animal Sanctuary, located near Keenesburg, Colorado.
FOUR PAWS met the two brown bears for the first time in November 2019, when the team conducted an emergency mission to care for several wild animals kept in two zoos in the south of Lebanon. Trapped in tiny cages, some smaller than a ping-pong table, the bears had no water, sporadic food, and inadequate shelter from the weather. Both bears, 2 males, Ulysses and Homer, not only suffered from malnutrition but also extreme stress and displayed severe behavioural disorders. FOUR PAWS had planned to relocate the bears in early 2020 but due to political unrest, the beginning of COVID-19-related boarder shutdowns, and then the horrific explosion in Beirut, those plans were thwarted. However, FOUR PAWS has continued to provide medical care and nutrition for the bears who were placed in the care of Animals Lebanon.
"We are so very thrilled that this rescue mission is finally happening. Through our expertise, and the expertise of our partners, Animals Lebanon and The Wild Animal Sanctuary, we can dramatically change the lives of these two bears and provide them with a species-appropriate home for the rest of their lives," says Dr Amir Khalil, FOUR PAWS veterinarian.
A partnership network
FOUR PAWS is partnering with three organizations on either side this rescue. In Lebanon, FOUR PAWS collaborates with Animals Lebanon, an organization improving the welfare of animals through comprehensive national animal protection and welfare legislation. Then, the crucial puzzle piece to this global relocation was finding a destination and species-appropriate home for the bears. The Wild Animal Sanctuary in Colorado was the perfect fit. It is the largest, and oldest, non-profit carnivore sanctuary in the world, with over 600 rescued animals including lions, tigers, bears, wolves, leopards, and other large carnivores. The bears will make the 7,559-mile journey from Lebanon to Colorado thanks to the financial support of the Karmagawa Foundation, a charity community that has contributed more than $6 million in donations to over 70 charities to build schools, libraries and medical centres, feed children and communities in need, and protect the environment and the world's animals.
FOUR PAWS has a long history of rescues particularly animal transports from areas of conflict or destruction. Between 2016 and 2019, the FOUR PAWS team evacuated three zoos in the Gaza Strip. In 2017, FOUR PAWS rescued 13 animals from an amusement park near Aleppo in Syria, as well as the last two surviving bears and lions from a zoo in Mosul, Iraq. FOUR PAWS was also on the ground in Beirut after the disastrous port explosion bringing in much needed food and supplies, providing veterinary care and assisting the reunification of many pets with their owners. At the end of 2020, FOUR PAWS, together with US superstar Cher, transferred Kaavan, the world's loneliest elephant, from Pakistan to Cambodia.
To conclude the last leg of the Beirut Bears mission, their flight landed in Chicago July 19, 2021. Danika Oriol-Morway, Country Director of FOUR PAWS USA, was there to greet the bears and to escorted them to Colorado. Upon reaching their destination at The Wild Animal Sanctuary, she described the mission; "It has been a long journey for these bears, but they have continued to show us their resilience every step of the way. Now that we have arrived in the beautiful wilderness of Colorado, Homer and Ulysses can finally roam freely in a landscape as wild and pure as their spirits."

Soon enough, bandwidth won't be enough of an excuse to kill MUDs. Like other mind-altering things, MUDs will become contraband in the eyes of the uninitiated.

We have seen the future of boxes. It's Silicon Graphics' newly unveiled INDY, a low-cost, one-size-fits-all multi-media, 3-D visualization, teleconferencing, multiple environment, supercomputer on a desk. "On a desk" is actually misleading, as INDY fits comfortably under a 15-inch monitor. A fully loaded Macintosh not only can't do all the INDY box can, but it […]

Staking a Claim in Cyberspace

Staking A Claim in Cyberspace, broadcast this past June, is perhaps the first independent video-documentary to pull together the disparate elements of life in Cyberspace, including the […]
Virtual Light
NASA had the know-how, Leary had the rhetoric, and VPL had the hardware, but it was William Gibson's novel Neuromancer that gave a form and street-level language to the shifting cultural paradigms that birthed cyber-culture (and is partially responsible for the spontaneous generation of, among other artifacts, the 'zine in your hands).
