Pres. Duterte declares June 18 a special non-working day in Laoag
June 13, 2021 Ilocos Sentinel Home, News Story 0
In celebration of the 56th anniversary of the charter cityhood of Laoag, President Rodrigo Duterte officially declared June 18, 2021, a special non-working day in the entire Laoag through Proclamation No. 1158.
"The people of the City of Laoag be given full opportunity to celebrate and participate in the occasion with appropriate ceremonies subject to community quarantine, social distancing, and other public health measures," Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea said in the proclamation dated June 7, 2021.
Laoag became a city in 1965 by virtue of Republic Act 4584, and was ratified through a plebiscite.
City officials have yet to announce any activities for the said anniversary which actually falls on June 19 every year. (IS)

How Albemarle Is Migrating to SAP S/4HANA Globally
In 2017, Albemarle—a global leader in the production of lithium, bromine, and catalysts—completed the purchase of a lithium company that has now become its largest business unit. That acquisition was the catalyst for the company's move to SAP S/4HANA as its single ERP system worldwide.
Moving from Customizations to Best Practices
To manage these changes, Chief Information Officer Patrick Thompson and VP of Business Transformation Larry East led a complex transition that involved migrating two legacy SAP platforms, one of which had been in place for more than 20 years. Thompson identified the top challenges for the project as, "going from a highly customized system to a packaged configuration and adopting standard best practices for the chemicals industry."
Thompson describes the integration as a "business-led project" with heavy collaboration between IT and business teams ranging from finance and procurement to plant management. The company also turned to Deloitte to define the methodology and add subject matter experts. Altogether, about 200 full-time people participated in the project.
Albemarle completed the first phase in 18 months. "This was a challenging project that was well thought-out and planned accordingly," Thompson said. "There are three more deployments to come. Our journey is not complete yet."
In an interview with Ann Marie Gray, VP of content at ASUG, Thompson explained how Albemarle made this a successful migration. He discussed how Albemarle overcame its challenges and offered tips for other chemical companies as they develop their own SAP S/4HANA go-live strategies.

Our dear son, brother, husband, father left us on May 24, 2011. He left a note but gave no reason.  Everyone was stunned.  Things had been taking such a good turn in the previous 8 months.  He left three darling daughters, one loving brother, two heartbroken parents, and many sad family/friends.  He was smart, handsome, happy with his job, developing great friendships, thrilled with his little girls and a loving son.  He was in constant communication with us and friends-a deep thinker, compassionate listener, respectful, had just been awarded a raise for gaining a big contract at work, and said he was happier than ever in his life.


The 101st running of the Tour de France covers a total distance of 3,664 kilometers through 21 stages. For the riders, the physical and mental challenges are hard to imagine. For Euro Media Group, the firm responsible for the overall wireless coverage, production challenges are also incredible. This year, to address the challenge, the company is using five brand-new LDX WorldCam cameras from Grass Valley, a Belden Brand, to provide up-close footage from five motorcycles that follow the action throughout each stage.
To optimize connectivity of the new cameras, Grass Valley also developed a custom-made adapter kit which enables Euro Media's RF affiliate, Livetools, to easily integrate its wireless transmitter solution for motorcycle use. Grass Valley developed the LDX RF docking interface and LDX adapter housing to allow RF vendors to integrate their own solutions. The outstanding image quality of the LDX Series, along with the custom wireless integration of Livetools, have been designed to deliver the best possible performance for these kinds of live events.
Grass Valley's LDX WorldCam is the pinnacle of the broadcast chain and the ideal solution for any production, under any condition. Its core technology is based on the Grass Valley Xensium-FT CMOS imager, which enables the camera to deliver superb picture quality even in low-light conditions.

Protecting The Injured,

Venue in Georgia Trucking Accident Cases is Crucial to Getting Justice for the Injured Victim
On behalf of The Law Offices of T. Andrew Miller, LLC posted in Car Accidents on Wednesday, January 31, 2018.
Atlanta truck accidents can result in complex litigation, including claims against not only careless truckers but also the companies for which they work. In a truck accident lawsuit, a trucking company may be held vicariously liable for the negligence of its employee, and it may also be found directly liable for its own negligence.
This is a good thing, since large trucking companies typically have higher liability insurance limits than might an owner-operator, thus increasing the likelihood that a seriously injured person or the family of someone killed in a fatal truck accident may be fully compensated.
Facts of the Case
In a recent appellate case, the plaintiff was a mother whose daughter died in a motor vehicle accident allegedly caused by a negligent tractor-trailer driver. The plaintiff's wrongful death action named the driver, his employer, and his employer's liability insurance company as defendants. The lawsuit was originally filed in state court in Bibb County, Georgia.
The employer filed a notice of removal of the plaintiff's action to Jeff Davis County, pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 14-2-510(b)(4), on the ground that its principal place of business was in that county. The plaintiff sought to have the case remanded back to Bibb County, but the Jeff Davis County trial court denied her motion.
The court of appeals granted the plaintiff's application for an interlocutory appeal.
Decision of the Appellate Court
The Court of Appeals of Georgia reversed the lower court's decision. Phrasing the issue as whether a domestic motor carrier retained the right to remove a case under § 14-2-510(b)(4) by virtue of its status as a corporation or other business entity when venue was also predicated upon O.C.G.A. § 40-1-117(b), the court concluded that it did not.
Instead, under the plain language of § 14-2-510(b)(4), a corporation could remove a civil action to the county of its principal place of business only in situations in which venue was based solely on this section. If there was any basis for venue other than this section, removal was improper. In so holding, the court found "no tension" between § 14-2-510(b)(4) and § 40-1-117(b) pertaining to motor carriers.
Since the plaintiff's complaint had alleged facts to support venue under § 40-1-117(b) distinct from those pertaining to § 14-2-510(b)(4), venue was not to be based solely upon § 14-2-510(b)(4). Thus, the employer had no right of removal, and the trial court erred in denying the plaintiff's motion to remand her civil action back to Bibb County.

Andrew Miller, LLC, we handle Atlanta truck accident cases, holding negligent truckers and trucking outfits accountable for the medical expenses, lost earnings, pain and suffering, and other harm they cause.

Chip Kelly owns final say on Eagles roster
Chip Kelly said Tuesday he has the final say on the Eagles' 53-man roster, which must be completed by Saturday evening.
Belichick has total control of 53-man roster.
Which means, well, not a lot if you look at the history of head coaches, control of the roster and Super Bowl titles.
There were five straight Super Bowl winning teams from 2002-06 with the head coach having the final say on the 53-man roster. Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots claimed three of those banners.
However six of the last seven Super Bowl champions came when the coach didn't have the final say on the roster. The exception was the Steelers with Mike Tomlin in 2009.
"We're on the same page in everything," Kelly said of his relationship with general manager Howie Roseman. "There has not been a decision that's been made personnel‑wise where I've felt one way and he's felt the other way."
According to NFL Network reporter Albert Breer, in addition to Belichick and Tomlin, the other head coaches with authority over the 53-man roster are Pete Carroll, with the Seattle Seahawks and Mike Shanahan of the Washington Redskins.
2202-6? Did you mean 2002-06?
Head coach should have final say on 53 man roster. As HOF head coach Bill Parcells said," if they want you to make dinner you should be able to buy the groceries". Even if he was talking about draft the ideas are the same

France committed to preserving plant genetic resources
The Ministry of Agriculture and Food is conducting two new actions to conserve the diversity of the genetic heritage of cultivated plants (plant genetic or phytogenetic resources).
The launching of a call for proposals, in Sept. 2017, allows to support initiatives concerning the profiling and sustainability of collections of phytogenetic resources of cultivated plants. This call for projects is provided with €300,000 to distribute. These credits from the Ministry of Agriculture and Food complement the methods already implemented by the Ministry since 2015 to create a team dedicated to structuring the conservation of these essential resources.
In total, 80 types of eggplant, 603 varieties of oats and 36 types of triticale (a hybrid of wheat and rye), managed by the French Institute of Agronomic Research and belonging to national French collection, have been granted to the common pool set up by the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture. These varieties will then be able to be easily accessed by any user in research or selection interested in them at the international level.
Additionally, the French seed sector is providing support to this commitment in favor of the preservation of plant genetic resources with a significant annual financial contribution that will help with genetic diversity conservation efforts.
As part of this, French Minister of Agriculture Stéphane Travert commended this commitment, which constitutes the first voluntary contribution of a national seed sector to the international treaty.
Minister Travert said that "France grants a high level of importance to this treaty, which is indispensable for meeting the sustainable development objectives of the 2030 Agenda of the United Nations."
Varietal and seed production innovation plays a dominant role in maintaining competition and environmental performance in agriculture, by strongly relying on the plant varieties available and plant genetic resources. The issue of conservation is indeed to guarantee the availability of cultivated biodiversity for the future and in particular to contribute to the adaptation of agriculture to climate change. France ratified the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture, which entered into force in 2004 and which aims to conserve and sustainably use plant genetic resources for food and agriculture, and which created a common pool of plant genetic resources.

2012 HRLA Winners and Finalists
LEADERSHIP (Companies with greater than 1,000 employees)
Mary Santiago | Director, Veteran Employment Services Office, Department of Veteran Affairs
Mary Santiago is credited with establishing the Department of Veteran Affairs dynamic new career program, VA for Vets, which was created to address the full employment lifecycle for veterans and military Servicemembers and was launched on Veterans' Day, 2011. VA for Vets is a high-tech, high-touch platform unlike any other in the federal government. It has actively assisted veterans in translating their military skills, assessing their professional strengths and interests, and building resumes with language civilian employers can understand. It also helps keep deployed Servicemembers connected to VA during their deployments.
The impressive statistics for the VA for Vets in its short history are a testament to both its success and Mary's leadership abilities. After running pilot events in a handful of cities, Mary organized VA for Vets' first major hiring event, the Veteran Career Fair and Expo in Washington, DC. Over 4,100 veterans attended the 13-hour career fair and to date, more than 500 veterans have received tentative job offers and other job offers may follow. In addition, there have been more than 128,000 visits to the VA for Vets website, more than 9,000 registered new user accounts, and more than 8,600 career and reintegration coaching cases in just six months.
Especially in light of the important mission of helping integrate veterans and Servicemembers into the civilian workforce, Mary's success at the Department of Veteran Affairs demonstrates why she is truly a leader in the HR profession.

Kay Curling is described as a valuable asset to Salient's executive leadership team and demonstrates an uncanny ability to develop strategic plans around which to build successful HR infrastructure practices and policies. Less than 18 months after forming and leading a new HR team, Kay transformed Salient from a "go through" to a "go to" employer for a variety of reasons. Among other things, Kay and her team:
• rolled out a complete Human Resource Information System;
• launched a new set of employee benefits plans with more robust benefits and decreased costs to employees;
• created and implemented a company-wide performance management system;
• designed and implemented a new compensation program and merit structure;

Kay's contributions to Salient have shown measurable business impact, particularly in proving the organization is a great place to work. Through fostering a high performance culture, the voluntary attrition rate at Salient decreased from almost 40% to 25%, ultimately saving the company more than $3 million. Kay's ability to inspire and drive high performance teams and to champion collaboration proves her leadership abilities have fostered growth and a positive business environment.

Throughout her career, serving as a mentor has been a priority in Jennifer Djouadi's personal and professional plan. Jen played an important role in the development of the mentoring program at Paychex when it was in its initial stages, with her focus being on ensuring that new employees receive job-specific training that prepared them for success when working with clients.

Holly Kortright | Senior Vice President, Deltek
As Senior Vice President of HR at the innovative, fast-growing Deltek, Holly Kortright is recognized as being the driver behind Deltek's company culture and employee engagement as well as a trusted advisor to the executive team.
While Deltek has been successful at driving financial and product transformations, a culture transformation was essential to support the growth. Holly was entrusted with the difficult task of unifying an employee base that hailed from three separate recently acquired companies. To do so, she assembled a cross-functional Culture Alignment Group to serve as the steering/ working committee for the culture effort, which ensured employee representation and kept culture efforts at the top-of-mind with management.
Of course, for the cultural realignment to be successful, the company needed to meet the great demand among Deltek employees to understand the company's strategy. Holly drove this conversation between management and employees through town hall meetings, business unit strategy sessions and employee focus groups. These shared stories resonated with employees in a way that prior communications had not.
Holly's focus on collaboration, communication and culture has been a cornerstone of the organization's continued success. After the culture transformation in 2011, revenue has increased 22%, Deltek's stock value has increased 35% and operating margins have grown from 7.6% to an impressive 21.3% from Q1 to Q4. Clearly, these statistics demonstrate how Holly's leadership abilities epitomize the essence of the key HR goal of strategic alignment.

CACI Employee Mobility Team
Doug Greene and Tara Winesett
CACI itself characterizes minimizing employee attrition as one of the company's greatest challenges. The company's response to this challenge was to establish the CACI Employee Mobility Program, which connects employees who are losing coverage or searching for new job opportunities with CACI open positions.
Within a year of its debut, the Employee Mobility Program was undoubtedly a success. CACI experienced a record low 13.7% attrition rate and 19% of its open positions were filled with internal candidates – a 14% increase over the previous year. Notwithstanding the great initial success of the program, the team quickly identified areas for improvement and incorporated them into the Program.
Since its inception, the number of Mobility Board participants has increased 257%. However, the size of the Employee Mobility Program Team has remained constant due to the innovative, cost-saving processes and technologies it employs. The Employee Mobility Program's success has also contributed to the Recruiting and Workforce Planning team's ability to fill 4,400 positions in an average of 26 days – which represented a 13% cost reduction over the previous year and delivered over $2 million to CACI's bottom line.

THE DR. J.P. LONDON AWARD FOR PROMOTING ETHICAL BEHAVIOR
Marsha Moulton and William Sparks
ACDI/VOCA is an economic development nonprofit organization that fosters broad-based economic and social development in the least developed countries. Based in Washington, DC, ACDI/VOCA has worked in 145 countries since 1963. Its annual revenues of $140 million are spread over the five practice areas of agribusiness, food security, enterprise development, financial services and community development. ACDI/VOCA currently has over 1,500 employees working on 92 projects in 40 countries.
As a mission-oriented organization, ACDI/VOCA pursues three primary values while striving to promote positive economic and social change worldwide. These values are the commitment to its overseas beneficiaries, wise stewardship of development resources and a knowledgeable, experienced, diverse and effective team.
Through the AchieVe performance management program, the ACDI/VOCA team communicates ethics and values not only as high-level expectations, but also as specific daily behaviors that can be described, encouraged and recognized.
The team created the AchieVe program, in part, to ensure that critical values were reinforced and followed. As a nonprofit organization working with government resources provided by the American taxpayer, ACDI/VOCA recognizes the importance of being responsible and ethical stewards of these resources. Through the AchieVe program, ACDI/VOCA is now able to ensure that employees are given concrete methods for putting these values into action.
Newly hired employees are first introduced to these ethical values and behaviors through an interactive scenario discussion during quarterly AchieVe Overview sessions. A variety of ethical scenarios are presented. New employees participate through the use of audience response devices to select their proposed solution to the ethical situation. Following the answers, a discussion is facilitated to explain the consequences of both effective and ineffective behaviors. This discussion is followed with a detailed explanation of the desired behaviors. In addition, an online module has been developed in which employees worldwide can view the interactive ethics presentation.
Over the last three years, Marsha and William have delivered pro bono workshops to peers through InsideNGO, a network of nonprofit organizations as well as purposefully collaborating with the Nonprofit Human Resources Conference (NHRC) and Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM). Furthermore, the best recognition a nonprofit can receive is from others trying to emulate and acknowledge its efforts. The success of the AchieVe program has been recognized by the international development industry.

Kelly Wing | Senior Manager, Human Resources, American Systems
As Senior Manager of HR at American Systems, Kelly Wing has been recognized for her leadership, dedication and achievements in creating positive change in the communities in which the organization operates. Kelly has led numerous American Systems initiatives in the community service arena. Among other efforts:
• Kelly has driven the growth of American Systems' partnership with Deep Park Elementary School in Centreville, VA – a school with special challenges.

Here are a list of workshops that Mike has designed and facilitated in companies large and small. Participants have commented on the dynamic pace of the workshops, and the focus on practical, powerful applications. In one executive network organization Mike was rated among the best speakers/trainers they have had in years.
This is a non-traditional approach to sales that provides an antidote to the prevailing sales paradigm of convincing or manipulating prospects to buy. It is especially refreshing and inspiring to feel that "selling" is a dirty word. This approach can complement existing sales and customer service training; it is not necessarily a replacement.
Rather than classic approaches using SWOT or Porter's 5-Forces, I facilitate groups toward enthusiastic enrollment in specific, stretch goals. Once enrolled in the goals, groups brainstorm success strategies, select a small number through multi-voting, and then assemble "tiger teams" to address each key initiative.
As management has moved from command-and-control to a more collaborative style, today's manager needs to be able to coach, give feedback, delegate and other skills. This workshop series presents some of the essential management tools in practical, powerful and experiential ways. Workshop includes 1:1 coaching at no extra cost.
In challenging, competitive times, it is even more important for an organization to operate with discipline, intensity and initiative. Yet many companies find just the opposite – complacency, entitlement and passivity. In this workshop the group will commit to a goal that requires higher levels of performance. They will brainstorm how to achieve those higher states without sacrificing fun, life-balance and teamwork.
Many companies have problems with accountability. This is true both in 1:1 relationships and in group meeting dynamics. In the 1:1 realm I bring attention to the simple yet powerful distinctions of requests, commitments, and the inevitable breakdowns that happen when someone fails to deliver on a commitment. In the group context, the discussion looks at the speech acts that move the action forward vs. those that stall or derail the action, resulting in wasted time and poor accountability.
In 2008 I pioneered a different kind of learning centered around business books. Unlike conventional "Book Clubs" where people share opinions and take a largely academic approach, my study groups focus on understanding and implementing relevant insights and lessons from top books. Books that I've covered include: Good to Great; 12: The Elements of Great Managing; If Harry Potter Ran General Electric; It's Your Ship; Execution: The Discipline of Getting Things Done; A Sense of Urgency; and Crucial Conversations.
Contact Mike today to schedule a workshop.

Miami skyline will speak Italian. Few days ago, was presented Flatiron Brickell, a new 64-floor skyscraper by the italian real estate enterprise CMC Group to be completed in Miami, in 2018. The tower will be built in the financial district in Miami and aims to become the icon of the "Made in Italy" in Florida.
Una foto pubblicata da Brickell Flatiron (@brickellflatiron) in data: 2 Mag 2016 alle ore 05:45 PDT
"The structure of the tower will be characterized by curving lines and decorated with marbles, glass and plate glasses" – states Ugo Colombo, founder of CMC Group – "All the apartments will be furnished following a custom-tailored project, with Italian high quality furnitures. The different areas of the apartments are studied to provide comfort, luxury, beauty and uniqueness to the residents".
Flatiron, The "Made in Italy" scrapes the sky of Miami
With its 64 floors and 224 meters of height, Flatiron Brickell will take the "Made in Italy" in the sky of Miami. The new skyscraper will host 549 apartments, provided with panoramic terraces and high-tech systems. A place not only to reside in, but also to live. The building will be provided with olympic swimming pool, movie theatre, wine tasting, recreation room, business center and an event area.

"This will be my best skyscraper", Ugo Colombo states proudly. Also the price is remarkable: the apartments start from 7.500 $ per meter, in a period in which the real estate market is slowing down. But Ugo Colombo isn't worried about sales: "We have already sold more than half of the residential units and by 2018 they will be sold out".


We can never be disconnected from the Creator, but we can certainly feel very disconnected. Our thoughts and feelings can create an environment in and outside us that makes us feel flat. When we consciously know we are connected to the Creator we feel energised and balanced, not to mentioned more intuitive and in the flow of things. We become kinder and more compassionate people. Every time you feel you are disconnected and need to feel the energy of the Creator, there is a simple little meditation you can do that doesn't take long, AND you will prove to yourself that you are connected (due to a little trick I'm going to show you).
Sit or lay down (after a while you can do this standing up as well, it's easy!!). Now imagine this without distracting yourself, so do it quickly: Go above your head into a ball of light. Inside your ball of light, you are travelling up into the universe. Go into the light above the universe. Go through many lights until you go into the golden light where all the angels and ascended Masters are. Go above it and into the Laws (laws of the Universe and all spiritual laws). Your ball has dissipated, and you are swimming through the Laws that feel like thick water. You see lots of colors and shapes. You feel an amazing sense of logic here. You see a beautiful pink color which is the Law of Compassion. This is one of the highest Laws and will push you into a very special place. Feel the Law of Compassion embrace you. Inside your head say: The Creator. Then everything turns into a bright, iridescent white light that moves all through you. This is the energy of pure Creation. There are no people or things here, just energy. This is the Energy that makes atoms and molecules. You are connecting with it. Want to prove it to yourself? COOL!!! Let's do that. Put the palm of your hand in front of each other. There is chi energy moving from the palms of your hands, but it might be difficult to feel this chi. Connect to the Creator, you don't have to do the whole meditation, just embrace yourself in the white, iridescent light and say The Creator inside your head. Soon you will feel the chi becoming stronger. When you are connected to the Creator you can feel things very easily. Think of someone you know. Go into their hearts through the Creator. Feel their joys and their pains. Only do this in a gentle way through the Creator, or you can hurt the other person. You can also enter into people through their Crown chakra. You can see depression and worries in people if their brain has dark energy around and inside of it. Ask the Creator to send them love and light. Sit in front of a plant or a tree. Ask the Creator to connect you with the life force of the tree or the plant. Soon you will feel their whole being connecting with you . Don't be surprised if the plant will turn their leaves towards you. You can connect this way with objects too. You can even practice moving objects (telekinesis) this way. You will never have to feel disconnected again.


We practice a holistic approach to health and wellness, which means that we look at how all areas of your life are connected. Does stress at your job or in your relationship cause you to overeat? Does lack of sleep or low energy prevent you from exercising? As we work together, we will look at how all parts of your life affect your health as a whole.
Our approach is not to dwell on calories, carbs, fats, and proteins. It is not to create a list of restrictions or good and bad foods. Instead, we work with our clients to create a happy, healthy life in a way that is flexible, fun and rewarding.
(http://www.integrativenutrition.com/blog/2013/03/notes-from-iin%E2%80%99s-founder-why-it%E2%80%99s-ok-to-quit-being-vegan-or-macrobiotic): The concept of bio-individuality is that each person has unique food and lifestyle needs. One person's food is another person's poison, and that's why fad diets tend to fail in the long run. Working on the principle of bio-individuality, We'll support you to make positive changes that are based on your unique needs, lifestyle, preferences, and ancestral background. We use a personalized, holistic approach to ensure that you will have great success!
We emphasizes the importance of eating local and organic produce, whole grains, high-quality proteins, plant-based fats, and water. We shows you how your plate should appear at mealtime and emphasizes the importance of proportions and portion size. To complete the picture, we help you with lifestyle changes that create optimal health: relationship, career, physical activity and spirituality. We will introduce you to some of the healthiest foods on the planet and teach you how to find what's healthiest for your unique body!

Biology of Sex and Gender
Several genes help determine what makes a human embryo develop female or male sexual anatomies. This session examines recent findings which have challenged previous beliefs about the roles of anatomy, environment, and genetics in the determination of gender, and the evolution of sexual determination.

Seriously, this is lovely. Everything about it works - icons, fonts, background image. It looks good on both thumbnail and actual preview. Thanks for putting this up!
I have been using this theme for some time now.. I really like it however I cant find a "sessions" button.
You think you could update this to have one.
ok, now this is good!, I love your icon layout and everything, sick of the manky colours Ubuntu seems to choose. This looks far more inviting for the user.
i could go without a branding all together. i only use gdm not gnome and even if i did use gnome i don't need to have it on the login. nor do i use ubuntu. its a nice login screen though.
thanks for the comment. you can always go to theme folder and clear "ubuntu.png" (dont delete, just erase the layer inside the image) and save.
One more thing - brighter! Its hard to see a little bit, a little bit brighter would be better.
Looks awesome, going with the willwill look that I like (and partway have). I think it's awesome, my only idea is that you should make the ubuntu logo bigger.
Many thanks, keep up the good job!
Hi,voted good but that box site won't let me download without registration...can you put it on some 'nicer' site?
Could you replace the ubuntu logo and use the gnome instead? So the people who's not identified with ubuntu will download it!
Reason its branded with ubuntu logo is because i hope this will become the default gdm theme for 8.10. But thats only a hope.


How do you operate a Flyback function and what is it used for?
The flyback function enables multiple times to be measured in quick succession without having to reset it manually with another pusher: to take a new measurement, a normal chronograph requires to stop, reset and restart by pressing push-buttons, when the flyback reduces this down to only one action.
What is a Tachymeter ?
A Tachymeter is a scale used to measure average speed in km/h based on the time needed to travel 1000 m. For example, to measure your average speed while driving, start the chronograph at a roadside mile marker, then stop it exactly 1 km farther on (next mile marker). The seconds-hand uses the tachymeter scale to indicate your average speed in km/h for the kilometer you just traveled.
A Telemeter is a scale used to measure the distance separating an observer from a phenomenon which is first visible and then audible. Its graduation is based on the speed of sound (343 m/s). For example, to determine a storm's distance from the wearer, start the chronograph at the first appearance of lightning; then stop it when the thunder can be heard. Look at the dial of your watch, the seconds-hand uses the "telemetric scale" to indicate the distance separating you from the place where the lightning occurred.
What is a Worldtimer ?
Worldtimer watches, also called " World Time" or "Universal Time", indicate, in addition to local time, the time of the 24 time zones around the world via a 24-hour disk to index to the 24 cities indicated on the dial. This makes it possible to identify the 24 zones in which cities are found. At any time, you can check the time in 24 major cities (representing each time zone) while viewing the time of the city where you live or are traveling.
What is a Dual Time function?
A watch equipped with a dual time complication is able to indicate a "2nd time zone". This second time can be read on a central hand or a hand located in a counter graduated from 1 to 24. In practice, the main hour hand is typically set to the local time of where one is during one's travels, and the time of the second time zone specifies the time where one lives, for example.
What is a Moon Phase function?
Watches with a moon phase complication display the cycles of the moon on their specific dial. Moon phases are generally displayed using a moving disk which makes one rotation every lunar month (29 1/2 days).

This is an existing Village Green that Anne Wilks established in 1969. VG 126 runs from the West Beach caravan park to the Battery and so includes all the beach huts in front of the seawall at West Beach. When a landowner erected a new beach hut on the Village Green in 2009 the WBC opposed the landowner's retrospective Planning Application and it was rejected by the Development Control Committee of Canterbury City Council. (CA/09/00594/FUL). Following this legal action was taken by CCC to have the extra hut removed.
Subsequently, the landowner, Seasalter Shellfish, has made an application to erode the Village Green by exempting the area of Village Green occupied by the existing colony of huts. WBC is one of the objectors in the Public Enquiry being held over Seasalter Shellfish's request to amend VG126.
Although Anne Wilkes successfully registered this stretch in 1969, her wording to exclude the beach huts and seawall from the VG area was omitted from the register. Technically this means that all the front row of beach huts on West Beach are illegal on a VG so the landowners (of most of them) being Seasalter Shellfish (Whitstable) Ltd have applied for an amendment to exclude the huts.
Whilst the WBC does not object in principle to the need for an amendment so that the beach huts can be "legalised" (no one wants the front row gone, that was never Anne Wilkes intent) WBC are objecting to the area proposed by the landowners for exclusion as it is far bigger than the area of the huts. If the applied area is deregistered it would potentially allow the hut owners to exclude locals from using the beach in between and directly in front of the huts. Seasalter Shellfish would like to exclude a single continuous strip approximately 8m wide by 250 m long whereas WBC think it far more suitable to only exclude the footprint of each hut to allow general usage across the beach as exists at present.
The photo shows the area of the beach which Seasalter Shellfish would like to exempt from the Village Green, thus effectively removing the strongest level of protection the beach has. It is an alarming prospect. Anne Wilkes never intended for an area this large to be excluded. She spoke specifically of only excluding the beach huts.
One of our main concerns is that if the whole strip is removed from the VG, it will allow the beach hut users and landowner to close off the gaps between the huts, which allow access from the path to the beach. Some of these gaps have concrete steps as part of the sea wall, some have informal steps constructed by individuals and some are just well worn tracks that allow passage from path to beach with an unassisted step up onto the sea wall.
The next photo was taken in February 2011 prior to new groins and reseeding due to erosion. Canterbury Council and Defra expect that the beach will continue to erode in future.

I try to evaluate Mayan EDMS for our non-profit-organisation (a home for mentally affected people).
The container starts and I start a shell in there to evaluate if all is going well.
No installation of tesseract-ocr-deu tesseract-ocr-deu-frak, right?
There is definitely something wrong here. Is the error on my side or is it the docker image?
Last edited by Harvey on Sat Nov 10, 2018 2:22 pm, edited 1 time in total.
and the package database is in a corrupted states requiring additional command to fix it.
I would recommend deleting the container and launching it again, containers are meant to be ephemeral. The data will not be deleted if the volumes containing it are not removed. Same goes for the database if the database container volumes are also not removed, (but for this there is no need to remove the database container).
I did the whole installation once again, starting with a completely new installation of docker to rule out every side-effects. I followed the chapter about docker installation thoroughly but the installation of additional tesseract-data files did not work.
I guess this corruption is already in the image, because installing the container without using MAYAN_APT_INSTALLS is also resulting in the same error.
Need to get 4153 kB of archives.
Selecting previously unselected package tesseract-ocr-deu.
dpkg is not able to create this file and hence fails. I guess this is exactly the same what happens when using MAYAN_APT_INSTALLS.
In my opinion, the docker image is at fault here.
Have you tried with the 3.1.9 image? I have recently installed the 3.1.9 image on AMD64, and have not had any issues with the image itself.
I haven't tried to install any extra libraries on the standard install... but are the quotes (") needed around the extra tesseract libraries to be installed?
Sorry I can't be any more specific with any other help.
Have not been able to replicate this on my systems or in Play With Docker.
Make sure the host of is running a recent kernel, distribution and version of Docker.
I am on Archlinux with kernel 4.19.1 using the most recent docker version. So older kernels and docker software are not the culprit here.
I thought it might be the other way round because all the other distributions use older kernels. So I installed the Archlinux LTS kernel instead (4.14.79) and tried again.
What should I say? The german tesseract files install o.k. using the same docker installation!
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/57336 but simply starting 4.19.1 with the kernel parameter vsyscall=emulate did not do the job.
Will have to dig deeper into this.
Just for the records: it is a problem of kernel 4.19 not playing well with docker's overlayfs. There is already a bugreport.
Thanks for updating the title of the topic, helps others having the same issue.
Also thanks for the links to the upstream issues, will be easier to track their progress.


In this paper we consider the strong matrix moment problem on the real line. We obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for uniqueness and find all the solutions for the completely indeterminate case. We use M.G. Krein's theory of representations for Hermitian operators and technique of boundary triplets and the corresponding Weyl functions.


text:
There has been and will likely continue to be much debate about border security and how to achieve it. Sheriffs stand united and are crystal clear in stating; our southern border with Mexico must be secured.
As the chief law enforcement officers in our respective counties, we have witnessed the societal costs of the lack of border security. We have heard political leaders of all stripes talk about securing the border with little consequence. Today, many portions of our border with Mexico are not secure in any meaningful way. Our Ports of Entry lack the staffing and technology necessary to be effective deterrents to transnational crime.
Equally problematic is allowing such a significant issue to be mired in endless political debate and partisan divide. It is time, past time, to move forward with meaningful border security.
The Case for Border Security
There are three unimpeachable reasons that without respect to political ideology we should embrace in support of the need to immediately secure our border with Mexico. They are public safety, national security and human rights.
Public Safety: The lack of a secure border presents a public safety problem, not only for our counties but also for our nation. The porous border is exploited by transnational criminal organizations to engage in drug and human trafficking. We have a public health crisis in respect to illicit drug use that is leading to overdose deaths and lifetime addiction. The public safety threat of drug trafficking is significant and the societal costs are staggering. Human traffickers exploit migrants criminally, sexually, and financially. Criminals and gang members posing as migrants can and do use the lack of border security to enter our country to further their criminal behavior. We have ample evidence of this occurring. The lack of a secure border is an undeniable public safety crisis.
National Security: We simply do not know who is coming across our border. We know there are bad actors from hostile nations that wish us harm. This is not a political statement, but rather a factual one. The lack of border security can be leveraged by those wishing us harm to come into our country undetected. The lack of border security is an undeniable national security concern.
Human Rights: Encouraging migrants to make the dangerous journey to our border and then attempt to cross into remote areas of our country is not compassionate public policy. Southwest border deputies recover hundreds of bodies a year in remote areas of our counties. Migrants die due to the harsh environment or at the hands of alien smugglers. Many walk hundreds of miles from Central America, some with children in tow, to get to the border in hope of a better life. They are led to believe they can simply walk into the United States. This leads to human rights issues along the border and even deaths. People in many parts of the world face desperate conditions Americans can hardly imagine. They seek a better life for themselves and their families. A secure border, along with more sensible legal immigration policies, would dissuade this dangerous and often deadly behavior. The lack of border security is an undeniable human rights issue.
Sheriffs have been, and will remain, consistent in their stance on border security. Let us reiterate and be absolutely clear, we need to secure our southern border with Mexico immediately for public safety, national security and human rights.
How to Secure the Border
There has been much focus on "The Wall." The term "The Wall" has become synonymous with border security. This term has become a lightning rod of division that has detracted, more than added, to thoughtful approaches to securing our border. "The Wall" is a soundbite, not a cogent public policy position.
The U.S./Mexico border is nearly 2000 linear miles. It presents topography, environmental and land use challenges to what might be considered a traditional wall. There are mountains, waterways, Native American Reservations and environmentally sensitive areas where traditional physical barriers will be difficult, if not impossible, to construct. Some areas are very remote and lack the supporting infrastructure to facilitate a massive construction project of this scale. Even if properly funded and enjoying widespread public support, it would take many years to construct a wall across the entire border with Mexico. We cannot wait for years and be hostage to the future whims of subsequent political leadership to secure our border. The time is now.
There are many places where physical barriers make sense and are in fact the best solution to securing the border. They should be constructed without delay. In other locations, we need to turn to technology, which thanks to modern advances, is robust and effective. In other areas, we need more human resources to ensure security. Likely, in all locations, we will need some blend of physical barriers, technology, and human resources to be successful.
The ultimate goal of these efforts should be the complete and total operational security of our southern border. Endless debate about what constitutes a "wall" and who pays for it does little to advance much-needed border security.
As we discuss border security, we need to remember the importance of addressing our Ports of Entry (POE). POEs are not being discussed enough and are a major vulnerability. We have to ensure security while still supporting the effective flow of legitimate transnational commerce. Commerce with Mexico through the POEs is vital to the economy of the United States and pumps billions into our economy. Allowing citizens the ability to cross into the United States to engage in legitimate commerce is also vital to the economy of border regions. The POEs need better staffing and technology to support the efficient blow of legitimate transnational commerce while having the ability to detect and interdict illegitimate/criminal transnational activity. We should not let partisan politics stand in the way of securing the border. It is clear we have done so for many decades and through several administrations. We need to secure the border for public safety, national security and human rights reasons. The mechanism of how this is done is far less important to Sheriffs than getting it done. The idea that a wall is the only solution because it is permanent is misguided. A wall that is not monitored, enforced or maintained is only an impediment, not real security.
Proactive Immigration Enforcement
We support the increased attention given to the border and welcome additional federal resources to handle the immigration situation. However, Sheriffs neither have the capacity to engage in proactive enforcement of federal immigration laws nor is it the responsibility of local law enforcement to engage in the enforcement of federal immigration violations. Federal authorities best address these violations of federal law. That being stated, Sheriffs are committed to cooperation and collaboration with all our federal law enforcement partners. We value these relationships with our federal partners and we remain steadfast in working together for the safety and security of our citizens that we serve.
Sheriffs fully support efforts to secure our border. Moreover, we demand action on this issue. There are compelling and undeniable reasons to do so. We need to move forward and secure our border immediately. The investment made in doing so will be returned many times over in reduced crime, reduced illegal drug use and a reduction of other societal and humanitarian costs. Sheriffs are committed to providing the highest level of public safety services to all people of our counties. We proactively attack crime problems and criminal behavior without regard to the immigration status of the criminals involved and will continue to do so.

All About Toblerone Chocolate
A quick history and description of what makes Toblerone chocolate.
In 1867, Jean Tobler, a Swiss chocolatier, opened his first store in Bern, Switzerland. Followed in 1899 by his own chocolate factory, Mr. Tobler, became a master at quality recipes and unique tasting treats. In 1908 with the help of his son and cousin, the Toblerone was born. With a special recipe, triangular shape and packaging logo, the Toblerone chocolate bar became the Swiss representation of excellence that has held it's own to this day.
Toblerone is unique in many ways from its manufacturing, recipe, shape, logo and even licensing.
Made from the finest ingredients, Toblerone is manufactured exclusively in Bern, Switzerland. This chocolate production center is constantly being updated and improved making it one of the most modern factories in the world. A representative of perfection, quality and efficiency, the Bern plant is frequently used as a model for other manufacturing sources.
The recipe for Toblerone includes the finest quality cocoa beans, milk, and sugar, but adds honey and almonds. The powdered milk comes mainly from Switzerland - another unique and special feature. This unusual recipe helped develop the bar's name. Toblerone is a combination of the name Tobler, for the inventors, and the word "Torrane," which is an Italian nougat specialty of almonds and honey.
The Toblerone triangular shape, a reminder of the peaks of the Swiss MatterHorn, placed this chocolate ahead of all others. Standing taller than chocolate bars of the time and packaged in thin, triangular tubes, this chocolate gets noticed quickly. In fact, the Tobler Company, Tobler AG, applied for a patent for the Toblerone manufacturing process in 1906; two years before the bar hit the market. This made Toblerone the first patented milk chocolate with almonds and honey. The number of peaks varies on each size bar from three to seventeen, but the triangular shape is a give-away that you're enjoying the Toblerone quality.
The name Toblerone was also registered as a brand name in Switzerland in 1909. The logo, a triangular MatterHorn with a bear hidden within the sketch has evolved through the years and the chocolate varieties. First introduced as a milk chocolate bar, the logo started as an eagle taking flight. The bear, Bern's heraldic animal, followed and fluctuated with the eagle until the introduction of a semi-sweet bar where the first MatterHorn logo appeared. With the introduction of the white chocolate bar, minis, filled and specialty chocolate varieties the MatterHorn blue and white logo is finalized and appears on most packages.
Today, Toblerone is exported and sold in many countries. Varieties are numerous and specialty chocolates are available during the holiday season including those marked with the letter "k" to symbolize that all the Jewish dietary laws regarding choice of ingredients and manufacturing have been observed. And, of course, to keep the candy market and customers on their toes, there is a "Berner Bär," a non-triangular Toblerone with a relief portrait of the Bernese Bear and the Bern city shield on its face.
Whichever variety or size you select, enjoy this rich and unique Swiss chocolate.
