Growing up on our family farm, I learned first-hand the value of hard work, the necessity of teamwork, the importance of serving others, and the significance of faith. These helped build a solid foundation and were carried through a collegiate athletic career, professions in science and education, raising children, and surviving as the wife of a coach.
Now, I work hard to meet the needs of my clients and am thankful to be given the opportunity to serve them during times of transition. Whether helping a coach find their 10th home in about as many years or helping first-time buyers into their starter home, I work relentlessly to make the experience as easy and hassle-free as possible.
Moving is a stressful process and it's my job as your real estate agent to help reduce this stress, not add to it. As an agent who's an expert in the area, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise about buying and selling real estate in the Cap City area. I take great pride in the relationships I build build and always work relentlessly on the clients' behalf to help them achieve their real estate goals.
You need someone who knows this area inside and out! I can work with you to find the right home at the right price for you, including all the neighborhood amenities that matter – not to mention the essential criteria you have for your ideal home. This doesn't just include purchasing a home…I can help find rentals also!
When it's time to move, you need someone who will advertise your home, show prospective buyers, negotiate the purchase contract, arrange financing, oversee the inspections, handle all necessary paperwork and supervise the closing. I can take care of everything you need from start to finish. In addition, I can help make your home attractive to its ideal audience which can translate to your home getting sold quickly and for top dollar.
If you are transitioning outside of the Cap City area, let me help connect you with a real estate professional that meets your needs. It's one less thing you need to worry about during an already stressful time.
Thank you for allowing me to serve you. I look forward to helping you buy/sell your next home.


This device has a dial format, spring-type function that will allow you to change the setting without even changing the valves. To monitor the pressure, this has a visual indicator that will guide you all throughout the cooking period. This is truly energy efficient and as the manufacturer, Fagor has been awarded with environmental stewardship, you can be assured that its product like this one is a certified environment friendly. So if you want to be a part of the green revolution then purchase products from companies like Fagor.
In my search for a product that would meet my needs best, I stumbled upon Fagor Duo and thought about giving it a try. When I looked at its features, I was automatically lured by the amount of materials I can have by buying a single product. It is a 5-picece pressure cooker set that obviously sets it afar from the traditional and very common pressure cookers. It's like different pots and cooking wares rolled into one.
If you talk about its features further, you will never be frustrated as things about it just gets better every time a new feature's revealed and tried.
This feature will allow you to save a massive amount of energy and will provide you that ultimate convenience in cooking wares as well. It has a 4-quart pressure cooker that can also be used as a saucepan and the 8-quart cooker that can hold the pasta basket that is best in draining pasta and vegetable steaming.
This great feature will allow you to change the setting of your pressure without changing valves.
This is just another feature to rejoice about. Durability is what this speaks of so you can be assured of being able to use this for a long period of time without any worries of rust and corrosion.
All these are features you would want your pressure cooker to have. And the automatic pressure release is just something that you must always look for in a pressure cooker. This will prevent the common explosion that old pressure cookers were known for. With this, safety in cooking is always ensured.
The Fagor mission is to preserve the environment and save energy by offering efficient products that consume less and save money. Workers are offered environmentally friendly working conditions and safe handling of hazardous materials. Consumers are offered efficient products that reduce energy and water consumption.
Entirely, the product is a very good buy, from the features down to the items you can get in one amount. It is said to produce amazing foods, so primarily food texture is never a problem. The only concern about this though is that it only comes with one glass lid to be used for both pots; given this feature, you surely will not be able to use them both at the same time. If you plan to cook 2 meals at one time then you must get another pot or wait until you are done cooking on the other one. Nonetheless, this is a small concern that does not totally bring down the value of what this pot can offer.
Fagor is herald as one of the least expensive manufacturers of pressure cookers that now provides all the modern features and technology offered. It is said to reach an actual pressure of 15psi which many other brands don't. The 15psi guarantees quick cooking and delicious results without burning. This set has been used for everything from chicken, beef and pork to all types of vegetables with results that more than meet their expectations. Several stated that upon purchasing the Fagor Duo Combi Pressure Cooker Set that it has become the most used appliance in their home. The two separate pots make cooking different quantities of different foods an easy task.
The convenience of a quality meal in a short amount of time is what attracts most buyers to the Fagor Duo Combi Pressure Cooker Set. Even novice users that had never used a pressure cooker before found using this pressure cooker set very easy and safe. Buyers that were upgrading from a digitally regulated pressure cooker were very pleased with their Fagor Duo Combi Pressure Cooker set.
Specifically, one major turn-on about this is its very affordable price despite being one of the top-rated pressure cookers in the market today. Fagor simply lives up to the principle of providing consumers the best for a minimal amount of money.
Another feature that gave this pressure cooker its major compliment is the pots that come along in one buy. Many have been pleased to have both pots with which one is suitable for being used as a saucepan and other related cooking; the other in boiling or cooking a larger quantity of foods, including its ability to accommodate a pasta basket that will allow pasta cooking a breeze and steaming vegetables that is simply awesome for people who want to keep the value of the foods being cooked.
With all the positive reviews of performance, quality and ease of use, we simply would have to recommend the Fagor Duo Combi Pressure Cooker Set to anyone looking for a best pressure cooker. The dual pots and easy safe functions make this product a sure winner with cooks everywhere.
Fagor Duo Combi Pressure Cooker Deluxe 5 Piece is certainly a pressure cooker to buy. It has features that will make you be very thankful of having a pressure pot for the least amount of money. On top of that, the fulfilment of being able to help the environment through energy saving is unparalleled.

RCA student team the Tyre Collective win National James Dyson Award
The Tyre Collective
Fresh off their win at the Mayor's Entrepreneur Awards 2020, the Tyre Collective has been announced as the national winner of the James Dyson Awards 2020 for the UK scooping £2,000.
The team, who first collaborated on their project whilst studying for our MA/MSc Innovation Design Engineering, will now go through to the final round James Dyson Award for the international prize of £30,000 – for which there will be two winners this year.
The James Dyson Award is an international design award that celebrates, encourages and inspires the next generation of design engineers. It's open to current and recent design engineering students, and is run by the James Dyson Foundation. The brief for the award is simple – invent something that solves a problem. The Tyre Collective's clever device does just this, catching tyre wear pollutants as vehicles are moving and preventing 60% of these airborne particles from escaping into the air we breathe.
Tyre wear particles account for up to 50% of PM2.5 emission from road transport and, with technology closing in on gas emissions, the Tyre Collective believe that the future of vehicle pollution will 'not come from the tailpipe, but from tyres.' Their device is the first of its kind in the world and was profiled earlier this year in the Evening Standard and on Design Boom. The team is made up of Hanson Cheng, Hugo Richardson, Siobhan Anderson and Deepak Mallya who first exhibited their invention at the RCA Work-in-progress show earlier this year.
"We are excited to have the backing of such a prestigious award and it gave us the validation and confidence that our design can truly make an impact. We will continue developing the project at InnovationRCA and hope to pilot test it on a vehicle soon. We wanted to thank all the tutors and staff at RCA and Imperial College who have supported us through this journey!"
Update: On 19 November 2020, the Tyre Collective were announced by Dyson as the official runners-up for the International James Dyson Award.

Cash-In-Lieu For Parking As An Option For Future Building
The proposed building project on 306 First Street West looks like it will be a go. They have kept within the boundaries of heritage ambiance and flair of new world architecture. The building will be a complementary look to the current sad, empty lot; however, one concern is always parking.
The proponents have requested a variance when it comes to the amount of parking that the City would ideally like to see. The lot in question has sat empty for well over 30 years; however any construction to the lot requires parking requirements which at this point is 11 stalls and one loading bay.
The applicants are proposing to provide two parking spaces on the lot, no loading area, and are requesting a variance for the shortfall of nine parking spaces and no loading area.
Like many other downtown buildings, providing parking is unrealistic and very few (if any at all) have parking for customers. One method for consideration that the City has always kept in the back pocket is Cash-in-Lieu policy. This is designed to reserve funds for parking facilities elsewhere in the City for when parking cannot be provided with certain developments, much like this potential new building.
In a Council report, Planner Daniel Sturgeon wrote, "These funds could alternatively be put towards vehicle use reduction strategies, such as improved bicycling infrastructure, or other parking demand reduction strategies."
The cash-in-lieu fee would come at a rather hefty price of $20,000 per stall that was required, but not attainable. This could mean a $180,000 fee from the applicant. As far as the loading bay goes, there is no levy for the omission of the bay.
"The City currently has approximately $166,000 set aside from cash-in-lieu payments and accrued interest. All of these monies were collected when the per stall amount was $2,500. Monies in the account prior to 2005 do not have associated addresses or development projects."
Businesses that are already in existence in the core are at a slight advantage as they do not have to provide parking for their customers. However, all new buildouts are required to consider parking moving forward. Several options have been offered to the proponents help alleviate that heft levy but it will still come at a cost.
"The requirements for parking for the basement and first floor of the building be waived, and that parking requirements apply only for the second and third storey (office uses) of the building – approximately 250 square metres (with generous exclusions of stairwells and storage areas). This would equalize the parking requirements with other one-storey commercial sites in the downtown area."
This option brings down the amount of stalls required and ultimately lowering the cash-in-lieu charge. As they have two stalls on location they would need three off-site parking spaces, or $60,000 for those three spots as cash-in-lieu.
Parking in the downtown core (or anywhere in Revelstoke for that matter) will remain a growing concern. For those interested in building in the core, this is a good reminder of a cost that may not have been budgeted for. Removing parking requirements or the cash-in-lieu fee is not likely to happen for future build outs. While this fee seems to land in the 'unfair' ball field for future developers, if it is not set in place the cost of parking is passed onto the municipality thus, the tax payers.

Q: How can I record a video like output of top command for set time period? The top command outputs a kind of live view of processes and their use of resources in a system.
I'd like to start a program on a server installation, which starts a variety of different processes, with non-predictable PIDs, and capture the changing output of top, without having to rely on an ssh connection from a desktop environment. Preferably I'd like to be able to 'replay' this in the same CLI environment, as if it were a video, but could acceptably move the file elsewhere to view it like this.
Is there a way, using command line only, from a direct terminal on a server installation, that I can record this output for a defined time period? Either by entering a value for time, or by manually starting and stopping the recording process.

A: The regular mode of operation of top is not suitable for saving the output in a file.
You can use the -b (batch) mode of top along with appropriate time interval for checking (-d) and the number of iterations for count (-n).
You can also mention specific PIDs (-p) to check only.
For example:
top -b -d 5 -n 3 -p 1089,2345 >output.txt

will run top in batch mode, will do 3 iterations after 5 seconds each, and will only monitor two mentioned PIDs (1089,2345). The output will be saved in output.txt.
Change the values to fit your need.

A: You can use the 'script' and 'scriptreplay' utilities to accomplish this.

*

*run script with the --timing option:
script --timing=top.timing topscript

*execute the top command, let it run as long as you want

*exit top using q or control-c.

*exit the script session with control-D (EOF) or by typing exit

*run scriptreplay to replay the script:
scriptreplay top.timing topscript

A: This is not exactly the same as top, but you can use this script:
while true; do
echo
echo $(date)
echo
ps -eo pid,user,pri,ni,vsize,rss,stat,pcpu,pmem,time,wchan --sort=-pcpu | head -20
sleep 5
done  > ps.log

You will have more or less the top info in the file ps.log. For details about the ps command, see man ps.

Loadmasters from the 41st Airlift Squadron traveled to a landing zone in Alexandria, Louisiana, to practice loading and offloading methods typically used in austere locations Aug. 26, 2016. The mission for the day was removing a 1,430-lb. C-130 engine stand trailer unit using the Combat Offload Method B technique.
For this alternative offload method, eight barrels are lined up – four on each side – parallel to the back ramp of the C-130. The pallets securing engine stand are chained to the tailgate of a truck which will help pull the equipment off the C-130 as it slowly taxis forward. As the equipment is carefully removed, an airman from each side slides a barrel underneath the corners of the pallet, creating a solid foundation for it to rest up. The process continues until all barrels are all placed and the equipment is completely removed from the aircraft.
This process must be synchronized, which demands constant communication from the loadmasters, driver and aircrew. While this method is performed, the aircraft's engine remains running in order for the pilots to slowly taxi and release the equipment.
After the equipment transfer is complete, a final thumbs up from the loadmasters inform the aircrew that the equipment that been safely and successfully removed.
Training is essentially to remain ready to complete rapid global mobility. Whether training at Little Rock Air Force Base or partnering with other units at different landing zones, being prepared for combat operations is the cornerstone of Combat Airlift.


Congressman Brian Higgins (NY-26) spoke on the Floor of the House of Representatives today regarding H.R. 2739, the Cancer Drug Coverage Parity Act. The bipartisan legislation would require health insurance companies to provide equal coverage for traditional, intravenous chemotherapy and orally-administered prescription chemotherapy drugs.
Congressman Brian Higgins (NY-26) announced that Roswell Park Cancer Institute (RPCI) researchers Brahm Segal, MD, and Kirsten Moysich, PhD, have received a five-year, roughly $3 million award from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) to study immune responses in women with ovarian cancer and to identify biomarkers that can predict response to treatment. First-year funding will be $589,735, and funding in each of the subsequent four years of the project is expected to be at a similar level.
For-Robin, a University at Buffalo spinoff company, has received a $2 million grant from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) to study and develop a promising potential treatment for breast and other types of cancer, UB and U.S. Congressman Brian Higgins have announced.

Inside Brooklyn's 'toxic' relationship
Brooklyn Beckham and Hana Cross in Cannes. The young couple was said to have an explosive fight which prompted security guards to separate them. Picture: AP
27th May 2019 5:31 AM
Brooklyn Beckham's model girlfriend Hana Cross reportedly "lashed out" at him during a an intense argument.
Security separated the pair at the Cannes Film Festival and the 20-year-old's parents David and Victoria were alerted.
A source reportedly told The Sun of the young couple: "They were screaming and crying."
David and Victoria Beckham are increasingly worried about their son's "toxic relationship" with British model Cross.
Beckham has since made his Instagram account, which has a staggering 11.5 million followers, private.
The couple have been together for six months. Picture: Getty Images
The young lovers' fiery bust-up in Cannes last week is the latest in a spate of embarrassing public rows that are said to have "seriously frustrated" the Beckhams.
Beckham, 20, and Cross, 22, who have dated for six months, were pictured arguing at the outdoor restaurant of the $A5500-a-night Hotel Martinez in the French resort.
During their champagne-fuelled lunch Cross confronted Beckham before picking up her phone and turning away from him.
A source close to Cross reportedly told The Sun: "It was all very dramatic. They went to Cannes for a few days, but started bickering almost straight away.
"Hana struggles with Brooklyn's fame and money, and all that comes with dating a Beckham.
"Brooklyn gets jealous easily, and didn't enjoy all the male attention she was getting.
The couple put on a loved-up display in Cannes, but things reportedly weren't so rosy behind the scenes. Picture: Getty Images
"They had had a couple of drinks and started trading insults. They are both still young, so of course everything is very impassioned at that age.
"Things escalated quickly, and they were in each other's faces, screaming and crying.
"Hana confronted Brooklyn and lashed out, and security waded in. David and Victoria were contacted and made aware of the incident.
"Not surprisingly, they are seriously worried about the couple's toxic relationship and frustrated by all this humiliating public drama."
It is not believed the argument became physical.

The couple apologised to each other, and were reunited at their five-star hotel which overlooks the city's famous Promenade de la Croisette.
On Thursday evening the couple looked unhappy at a Formula E private dinner hosted by
Spanish businessman Alejandro Agag.
Earlier in the week, they made their red carpet debut at the film festival, holding hands and smiling for the cameras.
The new argument follows several fights in California last month. First the pair appeared to clash at the Coachella music festival. A few days later Beckham was seen clutching his head in exasperation, with Cross close to tears as they left the exclusive Madeo restaurant in Beverly Hills.
Earlier that day Beckham's brother Romeo, 16, tried to comfort the pair as they again appeared at loggerheads while shopping.
Near the end of April the couple were both pictured in tears in Beckham's car outside a Los Angeles restaurant.
But three weeks ago the romance seemed back on track as they were spotted kissing passionately in London.
The couple looked loved-up in Paris recently. Picture: Instagram
"These are exciting times for him, and understandably Victoria and David don't want any distractions."
Beckham previously dated American actress Chloë Grace Moretz on and off for two years. He reportedly enjoyed a brief fling with singer Rita Ora in 2017. He also went out with American singer Madison Beer.
Since getting together last winter, Beckham and Cross have regularly posted loved-up photos over their social media pages.
Last week Beckham posted an Instagram photo of himself and Cross in matching Salvatore Ferragamo outfits on the red carpet at Cannes.

According to friends, another source of tension is Beckham's refusal to make Cross sign a nondisclosure agreement - which has pitted him against his famous parents.
Cross is signed to three modelling agencies and Beckham believes she is a star in her own right. But David Beckham, 44, and Victoria Beckham, 45, effectively want to gag her in case the young couple split.
Meanwhile, there are also concerns about aspiring photographer Beckham's partying lifestyle as he continues to enjoy the perks of being famous.
A source told The Sun: "As any loving parent would be, David and Victoria are worried about just how volatile this relationship is.
"They want the best for their son. The Beckhams make nearly all employees and associates sign NDAs and they've asked that Hana sign one. But loyal Brooklyn refuses, and thinks it's insulting.
Brooklyn Beckham's parents, Victoria and David, are reportedly "concerned" about their son's volatile relationship. Picture: Getty Images
"Brooklyn has a wonderful life and enjoys the trappings of fame, but his family are worried that he's going out in the middle of the night, getting up to God-knows-what."
The source went on: "They're hoping this is just a phase, and he will soon focus entirely on his photography career which is now really beginning to flourish.
On the same day Cross, who has 260,000 followers, also paid gushing tribute to her boyfriend, writing: "Me and my darling at the Once Upon a time in Hollywood premiere at @festivaldecannes yesterday!"
On Valentine's Day, Beckham whisked his girlfriend off to Paris for a long weekend.
He posted a beaming picture of the pair outside the Eiffel Tower, captioning it: "Me and my girl. Luckiest man in the world. Love you baby."
Four weeks ago Cross shared an arty black-and-white photo of the couple with the word "mine" and a black love heart emoji.

Fans have been quick to point out the physical similarities between Cross and "mum-in-law" Victoria Beckham. The former Spice Girl turned- fashion designer has even given Cross clothes from her high-end label, and her recent collaboration with Reebok.
Cross, who has modelled for Topshop and ASOS, tagged the clothes in her own posts.
Cross has previously spoken about their bond and how Victoria Beckham helps with tips, telling Tatler magazine: "We talk about everything. She's helping style me. I'm quite a tomboy."
The pair follow each other on Instagram. Cross is also a regular guest at the Beckhams' home, and was invited to the celebrations for Victoria Beckham's 45th birthday last month. They group all headed for dinner at Giorgio Baldi, an Italian restaurant in Santa Monica, California.
Victoria Beckham posted a photo on her own Instagram, writing: "The most beautiful day with my favourite people in the world I Love u so so so much. Kisses from a very loved mummy and wife."

We're starting to gear up for the March for Life next Friday! We're planning on joining our fellow Orthodox Christians for Life on the National Mall in Washington D.C. I hope to see you there!
I began reading I Capture the Castle years ago (this blog reminds me it was 2012) and though I remember enjoying it, I never finished it. I decided that it was time to begin again this past week and am enjoying the story and am in the last hundred pages or so.
A few weeks ago, my husband and I began watching Downton Abbey from the beginning. I saw it as it was first airing on PBS, but he didn't. We were between shows and decided to see what I thought... we just wrapped up season three and he is enjoying it very much!
I finished up my first Song of the Sea cowl early last week and quickly whipped through a white merino Milo Vest for a friend. I've already cast on to my second Song of the Sea for myself and though it's getting off to a slow start due to our busy weekend, but I should be able to get a good amount of knitting done this week.
lovely list, lovely IG picture! I am hoping to start gearing up to accomplish things again!
What a lovely blog. I came here by A Gathering of Days blog. I will be sure to visit again. I love Downton Abbey.


Miss Piggy's Portfolio is displayed in The Great Muppet Caper. Seeking modeling work from Lady Holiday, the confident Miss Piggy presents a photographic sampling of her work. The portraits present the glamourous Piggy in a variety of gowns and hairstyles.
The portfolio also offers evidence of Piggy's vast range of emotions: "Reeking Grandeur," "Being Aloof," "Demure," and "Daring." The pose and facial expressions are practically identical in each. Lady Holiday comments: "Interesting range of emotions."
The presentation and concept of Piggy's portfolio, photographed by John E. Barrett, is reminiscent of his and Michael K. Frith's work on the Miss Piggy calendars and Miss Piggy's Guide to Life.


One Wisconsin city is saying "no" to bullying through a new proposal that would hold parents responsible. The proposed law is one of many across America which attempts to reduce incidents of bullying through legal means.
The proposed law in Sun Prarie, Wisconsin would include verbal, physical, and even electronic/cyber-bullying. Under it, parents could be fined anywhere from $50 to $1,000 if their child is a bully (repeated offender). This is not the first time the state of Wisconsin has considered such legislation. Both Monona and Plover Village have developed ordinances to address bullying, in previous years. Their efforts aimed at giving police the ability to notify parents in writing if their child is caught bullying and to ticket the parents if the child bullies again within 90 days.
The efforts in Wisconsin are similar to those in other states. In Tonawanda, New York, they've sought to punish a bullies' parents with fines and jail time. In Pennsylvania, State Rep. Frank Burns proposed a similar bill, fining parents up to $750 and mandating parenting classes. For more on anti-bullying legislation in specific states, visit www.stopbullying.gov.
The real question is: what constitutes bullying?
In 2019, "bullying" is defined differently in each state but is now illegal nationwide. The word bullying can include overt criminal behavior such as assault and battery as well as rude gestures such as eye-rolling. It's hard to believe but even repeated eye-rolling can now be considered a crime under anti-bullying legislation and could lead to criminal prosecution.
Does Fining Parents Stop Bullying?
So far there's no evidence the Monona ordinance has worked in reducing bullying. Detective Sgt. Ryan Losby says no tickets have been issued in the two years since it took effect, but the department did issue three warnings. He worries that it's being perceived as an empty threat and not making a real difference. Still he wishes that the city would have surveyed students about bullying before and after the ordinance took place, adding "I have no doubt it would have showed a drastic reduction in bullying".
1. Has this been proven to be effective elsewhere?
2. Were any psychologists or sociologists consulted in the development of the proposed laws?
3. In the case of foster parents, will the state pay the fine to the city or township, while the child is considered a ward of the state?
4. Will the targets of bullying be empowered with skills to defend themselves?
Assuming that the answer to each question is "no", let me suggest a psychological approach to the bullying problem.

DESIGN | Words by Anna Bray.
Canteen evolved from it's little brother the Cafe table - also designed by David & Joni Steiner - and seats up to six people. Available in warm birch plywood or a minimal arctic white, it's friendly scale and softened corners make it perfect for hosting mini gatherings, from small team meetings to group working or long lunch socials.
At home, Canteen makes a beautiful dining table with its quiet details simple form. Hidden fixings make it easy to assemble and take apart - and because it can be easily stored flat it's also great to build up for shorter-term use or for those with a little less space to play with.
along with his brother David.
Why did you design the Canteen Table?
Firstly, because the original cafe table needed a big brother! The Canteen table is really a simple evolution of that design, with a little more room to play.
Creating different environments to allow for different work styles - and changing your set up and environment - is proven to increase creativity, and we look to design products that can allow workplaces to embrace this fluidity in their use. With its simple versatile form, the Canteen table is a great fit for that.
Do you see it as exclusively for the workplace?
No, not at all - it works really well in different settings. I think that's because it's so simple - it just fits in easily. It's very much at home as a kitchen or dining table - but also as a temporary workspace that can easily be put together and taken apart when not needed. We've also seen our original Café Table work beautifully in hotels like the Away Hostel in Lyon, and lots of our other designs feature in cafes and commercial spaces around the world.

If you'd like to request a quote to have the Canteen Table made for your workplace, home or local business, simply add it to your basket and fill out the form. We'll be in touch soon after with your quote so you can have it made on-demand - locally and sustainably.

Sybase chief John Chen leaving SAP
His departure had been anticipated now that the integration of Sybase into SAP is complete
Chris Kanaracus (IDG News Service) 30 October, 2012 16:47
Sybase CEO John Chen is leaving SAP, roughly two-and-a-half years after SAP acquired the company for its database and mobility technologies, SAP announced Tuesday.
"After 15 years of leading Sybase, I want to take on a new challenge," Chen said in a statement. "The integration of Sybase into SAP is complete and the business is in great shape."
In addition, Sybase's technologies "are contributing significantly to SAP's success," Chen added.
In separate statements, top SAP executives highly praised Chen, suggesting there is no ill will behind his departure, which has been somewhat anticipated in recent months given how long SAP has owned Sybase, as well as Chen's generally low public profile of late.
"We thank John for his extraordinary leadership over the past few years," SAP co-CEOs Bill McDermott and Jim Hagemann Snabe said. "We respect John's decision, we know that he will remain a friend of SAP and we wish him all the best for the future."
"John is a pioneer who contributed greatly to the enterprise mobility and database markets, and I am incredibly proud of what we have done together," executive board member and technology chief Vishal Sikka said.
Chen has "done what he needed to do" at SAP, helping transition the company by highlighting its mobility assets and "establishing China as a beach head," said analyst Ray Wang, CEO of Constellation Research, in an interview Tuesday.
Sybase has also provided SAP with some database technologies it will need for its HANA in-memory platform and beyond, Wang added.
In addition, Chen's work at Sybase helped SAP establish further credibility in the financial services market, according to Wang.
Chen's resignation will become effective on Wednesday.

Constantly extoling your capability to consume the most popular of chillies? Currently is your chance to display your chilli consuming abilities by requiring to the phase in a little Mexican community for a Jalapeno consuming competition - where wins as warm as the chillies are up for grabs!
Entrance to this chili-eating competition is simple for everybody many thanks to the reduced entrance costs. Flaunting a normally high go back to gamer portion of 96.03% which is normal of WMS, the Jumpin' Jalapenos fruit machine contains 5 reels and also 50 paylines. Instead of a common 5x5 grid however, the initial as well as 5th reels just have 4 signs while the 2nd, 3rd as well as 4th have 5. You'll be paying per 2 paylines with a minimal spin setting you back 25p and also optimum entrance cost for the most certain chilli eaters among you being ₤ 125 per spin!
As you would certainly anticipate from a slot based upon chillies, it's all points Mexican on the reels. In overall there are thirteen signs, nevertheless you'll be bitterly dissatisfied by their look as the appearance extremely out-of-date in the design of clipart instead of the modern-day 3D graphics we have actually come to be so familiar with over the last couple of years.
There are 2 unique signs to keep an eye out for-- bush and also the Scatter. Bush icon is stood for by the Mexican (probably representing you at the table of the chilli consuming competition) as well as he can replacement for all signs besides the Scatter, plus he is one of the most useful sign of all as well as landing him 5 times on a payline leads to a 20x your risk win. The Scatter is an intense red Jalapeno as well as these can show up on the 2nd, 3rd and also 4th reels.
There is additionally a surging red bull with vapor putting out of his nose as he prepares to make a cost, a little rock structure, taco's, a Mexican guitar, cacti, plus the typical having fun card signs of Ace, King, Queen, Jack, 10 as well as 9 which have the tiniest payments of all.
The spiciest victories of all which will certainly see you leaping about your space in exhilaration can be found in the complimentary rotates bonus offer attribute, however you'll initially require to land 3 or even more of the Jumpin Jalapenos - which just show up on the 2nd, 3rd as well as 4th reels.
This mix really activates rather regularly and also each time that it does sees you compensated with 12 complimentary rotates. Sadly, there are no juicy multiplier incentives to make them Jalapenos taste also much better however each time you land a Mexican Man (bush sign) the reel that he shows up on will certainly be pushed up until he covers every one of those settings for a piled Wild - which constantly leads to much bigger victories.
Ultimately, if you can stand the warm of the chilli's you can additionally set off extra complimentary rotates merely by touchdown 3 or even more Jalapeno's once more-- a task that sees 12 even more rotates contributed to your existing overall.
The Jumpin' Jalapenos fruit machine includes extremely simplified graphics which will certainly not interest those of you that take pleasure in genuine loan online ports with 3D graphics, nonetheless they are instead unusual-- particularly the Mexican as well as the Bull. Thankfully, there has actually been some initiative took into the audio impacts with a Mexican guitar and also the rumbling audios of the Bull going along with gameplay as opposed to typical supply appears we have actually listened to in a lot of slots from WMS.
It's everything about the cost-free rotates setting where you can win 12 complimentary rotates together with the possibility to retrigger much more, however it's the piled Wilds that are developed each time you land a Mexican on the reels which develop the fieriest of victories!

Join Director of "Medicine of the Wolf" Julia Huffman and Co-founders of Apex Protection Project, Paula Ficara and Steve Wastell along with the Apex Ambassador Pack, Taboo, Kona, Thor and Loki, at Malibu Wines for an exciting and informative evening on Wolves and Wolfdogs. Meet the Apex Pack face to face and enjoy the first Malibu screening of the award-winning and eye-opening documentary "Medicine of The Wolf" followed by a Q&A with Director Juila Huffman, Paula Ficara and Steve Wastell, outside under the stars with great wine and delicious food. *Since this event is being hosted at a winery the event is 21 and over.
In this beautiful and important documentary, filmmaker Julia Huffman travels to Minnesota and into wolf country to pursue the deep intrinsic value of perhaps the most unjustly maligned animal on the face of the planet. Medicine of the Wolf centers on the remarkable, world-renowned environmentalist and National Geographic photographer Jim Brandenburg, who has photographed and studied wolves for 45 years—longer than anyone in history. As our guide, Brandenburg enables us to see the world of the wolf as we have never seen it before.
In April 2010, Founders Paula Ficara and Steve Wastell discovered a place that would change the course of their lives; a young wolfdog rescue just getting its start in Los Angeles County. With a lifelong love of wildlife, particularly wolves, they found themselves volunteering as much time as possible to the growth and development of the small rescue, eventually leaving their former careers behind to become two of the first full-time staff members. Over the past seven years, they've helped rescue and rehabilitate over 50 wolves and wolfdogs, developed educational events and programs, and been active advocates for captive bred wolves and wolfdogs, as well as wolves in the wild. The goal of Apex Protection Project is to continue the quest of protecting wolves and wolfdogs through educational experiences, rescue, and advocacy with the dream of future generations living in a world where the wolf is protected and respected. Photography: Paula and Steve with their wolfdog Taboo, their first rescue. Apex Protection Project is a 501c3 non-profit organization.

Hi, we have just bought our apartment in marbella and want to rent it out. We have spoken to several property rental agents who have different views. One says 2/3 day lets are more lucrative than weekly lets as you can charge more. Some only do weekly lets. They do all the photos, cleaning, deal with keys etc. Charges are 20 to 40% . Any advise please?
In a place like Barcelona 2/3 days are a common stay, but I'm not so sure about Marbella, where I expect people are on holiday and want to stay for longer, say a week to ten days. If I had to choose I would go for weekly.

NewsIrish Hemp Industry Pursues Government In High Court As...
Irish Hemp Industry Pursues Government In High Court As Cultivation Footprint Plummets By 40%
IRISH hemp production has fallen dramatically as a result of changes to Government rules which are now being challenged in the High Court.
Ireland's hemp industry is one of the oldest in the European Union (EU) with a fully operational supply chain since the 1990's, reaching a footprint of 574 hectares in 2019.
However, whilst almost every other European country has seen significant recent increases in hemp cultivation, Ireland's has fallen by over 40% since 2020.
Chris Allen of the Hemp Federation Ireland said: "This decline began when the Irish government decided that the legal EU hemp crop in its entirety was no longer eligible for state enterprise or agricultural grant support.
"Ireland has a modern fully-functioning industry but the Irish government started to change the way it interpreted various laws, rules and regulations in late 2018.
"Now the entire control of the agricultural supply chain for the agricultural industry is with pharmaceutical companies.
"State support for any commercial activity related to the farm crop, including the fibres and seeds, has been removed from the farming industry and Irish hemp is now in the control of pharmaceutical companies.
"As a result of these changes hemp production has nosedived in Ireland."
Having significantly disabled the farming sector, the Government recently announced plans to allow hemp farmers to use the stalk of the hemp plant.
However, this attempt to rectify the situation has been dismissed as 'thin gruel' by the HFI; the organisation has now formally withdrawn from the Department of Agriculture's 'hemp stalk' consultation.
Ms Allen highlighted how hemp is one of the most viable EU cash crops worth €3,000 an acre in 2020 with the amended proposals reducing farm incomes to €600 per acre at best.
She described the current situation as 'insane' and said 'no rational person would engage in a government consultation to permanently remove three quarters of their previous year's income'.
High Court Challenge
Similar actions across multiple government agencies in Ireland have prompted a legal challenge by the HFI members in the Irish High Court.
The cases were launched last year and are expected to go to a full hearing in the first quarter of 2022.
The legal challenges are asking the Court to rule on the Irish Government's misrepresentation of EU law and the status of CBD in the European Union.
The Irish Government is currently prosecuting Irish industry stakeholders – retailers of hemp and CBD products – and also consumers who purchase products such as hemp and CBD flowers.
The HFI argues that the Irish Government has failed to properly interpret the European Court of Justice decision in the KanaVape case, which effectively ruled that CBD is not a narcotic drug and that the hemp leaves and flowers from which the CBD is derived can be freely traded across the Member States of the European Union.
Government Contradiction & Confusion
While The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) has confirmed that farmers and food business operators can use the flowers and leaves of the crop to make CBD in line with the Kanavape decision, another branch of the Irish Department of Health – The Health Products Regulatory Authority (HPRA) – refuses to acknowledge this.
Then there is further confusion over the designation of hemp/CBD products as a traditional, or a Novel Food
She elaborated: "At a recent webinar, the FSAI also confirmed that Ireland observes the EU Commission's previous classification of hemp as a traditional food in Europe and that Ireland considers products made from hemp, including CBD derived from the whole plant, as not Novel Foods.
"However, the HPRA now advises those same Irish farms and businesses that the Department of Health requires them to destroy the leaves and flowers of the crop at harvest. In effect, this means CBD products are both legal and illegal, novel and not novel in Ireland."
Ms Allen said that while the Department of Health has allowed Ireland's well established CBD market to remain open following the reclassification of hemp derived CBD in the EU Novel Food catalogue in 2019, FSAI has now adopted a literal interpretation of EU Novel Food regulation EU 2015/2283, while misinterpreting the Directive EC 2009/32. This means the FSAI will be permit cold-pressed products to remain in the shops.
These issues were brought to the fore in a HFI letter to the Secretary General of Ireland's Department of Agriculture on September 23. The issue was also raised in the Irish Parliament recently when socialist TD Paul Murphy asked Health Minister Stephen Donnelly whether 'his attention has been drawn to the Kanavape judgement'.
In response Mr Donnelly said: "The matters raised are sub judice, currently the subject of a legal challenge in which the Minister for Health is a respondent and can therefore offer no further comment." Reports Extra.ie.
HFI's figures show that hemp production increased from 76.5 hectares (ha) in 2017, to 229.83ha in 2018. Increasing again in 2019 to 574ha before plummeting in 2020 to 326ha as a result of the regulatory interventions.
Ms Allen went on to say that as hemp fibre and seeds are specifically excluded from the scope of Irish Misuse of Drugs laws and the whole EU hemp crop is protected under Article 34 of The Treaty Forming the European Union (TFEU) the transfer of control of the agricultural crop and supply chain to pharmaceutical interests in 2020 by Irish authorities should be addressed in the Irish parliament by Irish legislators.

Review – Layers of Fear VR (PSVR)
Posted on May 6, 2021 by Leo Faria	Leave a comment
Remember when I said, literally two reviews ago, that virtual reality can turn even the more mundane of experiences into something more enjoyable than it should be? Remember what I said that about Star Wars Pinball VR being actually good because of that? Well, I guess I was wrong. For the most part, sure, VR can make silly things more enjoyable and immersive than before. However, this rule doesn't apply when you're trying to translate a boring horror-themed walking simulator into this brand new realm of gaming. Case and point, Layers of Fear VR. Better than the original? Sure thing. Does that make it a good game? Absolutely not.
"Get It Right This Time". That was what I wanted to tell the devs before starting Layers of Fear VR.
When I first checked out Layers of Fear, I made the mistake of starting off by playing the Switch version. This meant I was playing a version with significantly inferior visuals and some audio glitches. I thought to myself that maybe there was hope for the base game, that if played on a beefier console it would actually be quite good. This wasn't the case. I tried it out on the PS4, and while it looked remarkably better in terms of visuals, it still ended up being a boring walking simulator with a predictable plot, bland corridor-esque level design, and cheap jumpscares.
Layers of Fear VR is exactly the same game as before, just with a new perspective and control scheme. The same plot progression, the same puzzles, the same excruciatingly irritating jumpscares. Everything you love (or didn't) about the original Layers of Fear is back, but with a few tweaks that do make the game slightly more immersive, but in no way scarier. Some of its main issues are derived from the fact this is being played on the PSVR, a VR system that just cannot handle fancy graphics and free roaming controls very well. But most of its issues just stem from the fact that at the end of the day, Layers of Fear just isn't very good.
Boop.
I will give Bloober Team kudos for one thing: trying very hard to make this game work under so many limitations. The Move controllers do not have analog sticks, which is why most PSVR games feature a "teleportation" mechanism (you aim at a place and you're transported there). But Layers of Fear VR actually features a free roaming movement system which uses one of the main Move buttons from one the sticks, as well as most of the face buttons in order to strafe and move the camera around. It is not very easy to get used to and it's stupidly cumbersome, but hey, it is immersive. It feels more natural than teleporting your body around. And given how slowly your character moves through the mansion's corridors, you won't feel motion sickness at all.
The limited horsepower also took a toll on the game's visuals. It's brighter and more detailed than the Switch version, but uglier than any other version released thus far, Oculus Rift included. Your field of view is quite limited, meaning that larger rooms feature Nintendo 64-esque fog and the textural quality leaves a lot to be desired. There is one catch though: the game does run at 60fps most of the time. It's a small victory, but at this point, I'll take what I can get.
That's not blood, that's just wine. Laaaaaaaaame.
Sadly, with regards to the gameplay, Layers of Fear VR just doesn't hold up. It's still just a simple walking simulator featuring an annoying gimmick of doors taking you to new areas of the mansion to simulate the fact you're a total lunatic of a protagonist. It's predictable, boring, and it's usually accompanied by loud jumpscares that are just plain annoying.
For the record, while I do find this plot severely uninteresting, I also have to clarify that this is an "old" Bloober Team game. This was before they started getting their act together with Observer, their best title and arguably one of the most interesting "walking simulators" out there. Not to mention The Medium, which might be trying way too hard to be Silent Hill, but damn if it isn't interesting and captivating. And I'll keep on pretending the Blair Witch game has never existed.
You can now interact with this merry-go-round with your own hands… and that's basically how immersive this game gets…
There are also some annoying glitches in here, which ruin the game's overall sense of immersion. Whenever you press the crouch button twice, you don't revert back to your original standing height. Instead, you basically become an eight foot tall giant, occasionally clipping through the ceiling. This was irritating at first, as I did not know how to fix it, until I decided to hold down the Options button for a few seconds to recenter my field of view, which ended up resulting in me reverting back to my original, more human height.
If anything, this painting of a zombified dog would be great as a cover for a death metal album.
Virtual reality turns mundane chores into an experience more entertaining than it should be. The same can be partially applied to Layers of Fear VR, but not in a way the devs intended. I had sporadic amounts of fun with the game, but it wasn't due to its simplistic puzzle solving or inane plot. Nope, I was having occasional bouts of joy by messing with its wonky physics, throwing things around and interacting with tons of objects for no apparent reason. I had to scavenge for a bit of fun in this game, and while I certainly had in very small dosages, it was only because I have the mental age of five when I immerse myself in a VR game. This technology is still way too novel for me not to feel amazed by it, even when playing one of its more disappointing outings.
Oh. Great. Dolls. I've never seen those being used in horror media before.
I can safely say that, if I had to tell you which version of Layers of Fear is my favorite, then Layers of Fear VR takes the cake. Not because it makes its pseudo-horror experience more immersive, but because I could occasionally forget about its mundane plot and dumb jumpscares and fool around with its silly physics and glitches in VR. It does look occasionally nice and the developers did try their best in order to implement a free-roaming control scheme on the Move controllers, but the core game is just too boring at the end of the day.
The PSVR's limited horsepower takes a toll on the field of view and textural quality, and there are a few framerate issues every now and then. With that being said, it's still interesting to look at.
I applaud Bloober Team for coming up with a free-roaming control scheme, but the Move's lack of analog sticks make things a lot more cumbersome than they should be.
A bit better than the Switch version, but the jumpscares and glitches still ruin the immersion.
It's slightly more entertaining than the base version because you can occasionally fool around with your floating hands, but it's still a boring attempt at a psychological horror game with a predictable story and some immersion-breaking glitches.
Layers of Fear VR is available now on PSVR, Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, and Oculus Quest.

Senate Energy Bill Could Impact Manufacturing Operations Across Industries
By Ali Nelson on May 11, 2016
Posted in Energy & Environment, Legislative & Judicial Updates, Manufacturing
On April 20, 2016, the U.S. Senate passed the Energy Policy Modernization Act of 2016 (the Act) by a vote of 85-12. If signed into law, the bipartisan bill would impact manufacturing operations across industries by promoting energy efficiency; encouraging renewable energy development; facilitating improvements in infrastructure, including grid storage; removing certain hurdles to the development and export of oil and gas, critical minerals, and other resources; and making other changes intended to keep pace with the nation's rapidly changing energy industry.
Promoting Energy Efficiency
One focus of the Act is efficiency, be it energy efficiency of manufacturing processes themselves or the resulting buildings, appliances, or vehicles.
The Act contains provisions directly promoting energy efficiency of manufacturing processes. These provisions work to accelerate the deployment of technologies and practices that will increase industrial energy efficiency and improve productivity by means such as increasing partnerships with businesses providing technology or services to improve energy efficiency, water efficiency, power factor, or load management of a manufacturing site or other industrial process in an energy-intensive industry. The Act would also adopt a sustainable manufacturing initiative; expand technical assistance programs to include smart manufacturing technologies and practices; and facilitate access by small and medium manufacturers to resources of the National Laboratories.
With respect to energy efficient buildings, the Act would provide for a model building energy code and certification of green buildings; updates to State building energy efficiency codes; energy retrofitting assistance for schools; revised energy efficiency performance standards for federal buildings; and reduction in a federal building's energy intensity. In addition, it would fund an energy efficiency retrofit pilot program, energy efficiency training centers and career skills training programs, weatherization assistance programs in low-income housing, and State energy programs.
The Act promotes energy efficient appliances by funding an extension of the appliance product system rebate program and establishing a rebate program for energy efficient transformers. It would authorize third-party certification under the Energy Star program and provide for voluntary verification programs for air conditioning, furnace, boiler, heat pump, and water heater products. It would also delay the adoption or effectiveness of other energy efficiency measures and standards for residential non-weathered gas furnaces and mobile gas furnaces and for commercial refrigeration equipment.
A subtitle of the Act, the Vehicle Innovation Act of 2015, supports research, development, engineering, demonstration, and commercial application and manufacturing of advanced vehicles. Significant funding is allocated to energy efficient vehicles and related technologies, including electrification of vehicle systems, batteries and other energy storage devices, engine efficiency and combustion optimization, waste heat recovery, fuel cell and natural gas vehicle technologies, and medium- and heavy-duty commercial and transit vehicles.
Encouraging Renewable Development
The Act's energy supply provisions focus on the development of renewable energy resources including hydroelectric, geothermal, marine hydrokinetic, and biomass energy resources. Specifically, the Act seeks to substantially increase the capacity and generation of hydropower resources; authorizes longer extensions of preliminary permits and time for project construction; and amends existing hydroelectric production incentives and efficiency improvements. In addition, it encourages new geothermal energy capacity on public land; identifies high priority areas for new geothermal development; and encourages geothermal exploration test projects by excluding certain projects from National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) review. Also, the Act would establish a program of research, development, demonstrations, and commercial application for marine hydrokinetic renewable energy production, as well as grant and loan programs for innovation and market development in woody biomass heat and biopower.
Infrastructure and Accountability
With respect to the nation's electricity and energy storage infrastructure, the Act would establish a program of research, development, and demonstration of electric grid energy storage, including research on materials and power conversion technologies; grid-scale testing and analysis of storage devices; safety and reliability of electric storage devices; and standards for storage device performance, interconnection, and interoperability. It would expedite and improve the permitting process for electric transmission infrastructure and provide guidance on criteria for net metering studies. The Act would enhance grid reliability by requiring transmission organizations to report on their electric generating capacity resources. In addition, it would provide for a more expedited emergency response to any disruptions in the grid, and facilitate a research program to develop exascale computers capable of furthering the application of scientific data and computational workloads for advanced manufacturing.
Other Key Provisions
Additional provisions in the Act would:
Facilitate the trade of liquefied natural gas;
Designate the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission as the lead agency for purposes of coordinating federal authorizations and NEPA compliance for liquefied natural gas projects;
Establish a pilot program for streamlining the review and approval of applications for permits to drill for oil and gas;
Facilitate the availability, development, and production of domestic critical mineral resources;
Establish a large-scale technology pilot project to improve the conversion, use, and storage of carbon dioxide produced from fossil fuels;
Require an assessment of the Department of Energy's capability to host privately funded fusion and fission reaction prototypes; and
Provide for a study of technologies for recycled carbon fiber and production.
Congress must appoint a conference committee to reconcile the Act with a similar bill passed by the House on December 3, 2015. A reconciled bill, after being passed again by the House and Senate, could be delivered to the White House for President Obama's signature as soon as this summer. Whether the President will sign the bill into law will likely depend on the specific provisions of the reconciled bill. While the Office of Management and Budget's Statement of Administration Policy took issue with several provisions of the House bill, Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz has noted the Senate bill's "many positive elements." Retaining key provisions of the Senate bill is therefore crucial to both the legislation's success and its potential for impact on companies manufacturing equipment and components utilized by the renewable energy industry.
What This Means to You
The Act has the potential to significantly impact manufacturing operations. While its provisions specifically addressing the energy efficiency of manufacturing operations will directly impact manufacturers in any number of industries, its provisions affecting energy efficient appliances, building materials, and vehicles are also likely to result in an increased demand for energy efficient products. In addition, the Act's provisions affecting infrastructure and development of renewable energy, oil and gas, critical minerals, and other resources are likely to result in an increased demand for energy supply and resource extraction equipment and components.
Understanding the potential impacts of the proposed legislation could help your business and your clients be positioned to take advantage of the numerous opportunities that are likely to result if the Act is signed into law. In addition, your participation in the legislative process could help educate Congress on the needs of your business and your clients and ultimately impact specific provisions of the Act.

You can use any shape of pasta you like, but ziti tubes are best at holding the molten cheese sauce.
Fry bacon meanwhile in a medium saucepan over medium heat until brown and crisp, about 10 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
Pour off all but 1 tbsp. fat from pan. Add flour and whisk over medium heat. Pour in milk 1/4 cup at a time, whisking well after each addition (it will be very thick at first) until incorporated and smooth. Add cheeses in 3 batches, whisking continually and making sure each batch is mostly melted before adding the next.
Drain pasta, then stir into cheese sauce (it will thicken upon standing). Divide pasta among individual ramekins or bowls and top with bacon and chives.
This recipe was blander than I'd expect from an collection of southwest cooking. I'll probably add some red pepper flakes or a bit of poblano next time I make it to give it some kick.

Narendra Modi government has failed to revive economy: Congress
Anand Sharma said the 19 months of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government were marked by "unaccountable centralisation of power, policy making and administrative decisionsIANS | December 31, 2015, 08:51 IST
NEW DELHI: The Narendra Modi government has failed to revive the economy, Congress leader Anand Sharma said on Wednesday.
"On economy front, the government is clueless how to revive the economy... We are not doing well in any sector," Sharma said while addressing the media.
He said the 19 months of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government were marked by "unaccountable centralisation of power, policy making and administrative decisions" leading to an "authoritarian style of functioning which resulted in breakdown of the structures of governance which has paralysed administration and undermined institutions".
"The welfare system the UPA had built has been weakened (now). The government made major cuts in education, health and women welfare," he said.
He said the GDP to rising debt ratio, which was brought down from 63 per cent to 48 per cent, has gone up to 53 per cent in one year.
"If you go by the old method of GDP calculation, growth is only 5.2 per cent," he added.
He also pointed out that the farming sector was depressed and the Modi government has failed the farmers.
Sharma accused the BJP government of being "insensitive to the poor and under-privileged people".
"It has shown callous disregard to the plight of the Indian farmers, who have been severely affected by the ongoing agrarian distress, floods and droughts in many parts of the country," he said.
