Would you like to study in order to most optimally prepare yourself for attractive management positions in the business world? But you are yet unsure of where exactly your professional interests are? How about this: during the bachelor's degree program in General Management you acquire a broad knowledge of business administration knowledge at one of the leading business schools in Germany, which opens up numerous career paths for you without having to commit yourself early.
During the course of your studies you will learn to put strategic-conceptual thinking into practice and gain your first practical experience. You gradually develop from a generalist to a specialist and have the option of individually shaping your degree and tailoring it to your desired qualification.
In every management function, it is important to understand the fundamentals of business administration and economics as well as how they are intertwined. Therefore, basic subjects such as marketing, personnel management, financing, business law, statistics and many more are an essential core of your studies from the beginning on. This secures you a compact and sound management education with all the essential core competencies.
Starting in the 3rd semester, the EMS offers you various specialization options. Here you will begin to chart your future career path and dedicate yourself to your professional goals. You will choose two out of the following five specializations: Financial Management, International Management, Leadership and Human Resource Management, Marketing Management,Business Psychology and Digital Management.
Would you like to combine complimentary or contrasting subject areas? Will you decide based on personal inclinations or perhaps professional challenge? Our EMS study advisors are happy to assist and inspire you when making your decision.
Knowledge is valuable and only affective when applied. For this reason, we prepare you with the necessary know-how and skills in a practical manner through real projects and planning games. EMS students are able to confidently record processes, work in a solution-oriented manner and develop and implement suitable concepts. Together with partner companies, we initiate case studies and organize specialist lectures and excursions that provide you with early insights and contacts in the business world.
After the second semester you will get your first taste of professional life during a several week compulsory internship. Test where your inclinations and interests are! Our Career Service supports you in finding a suitable internship in a renowned company.
Team and leadership skills are largely based on "soft" factors – the so-called soft skills. They are indispensable in order to advance professionally in a company and thus an important part of your curriculum at the EMS. Communication and discussion, self- and time management, teamwork, sales pitches and much more are a part of the personal skills development, with which we make you fit for your career path. In addition, sound foreign language training accompanies the study and rounds off your management profile.
You and your career expectations are drawn towards the international world? Then perhaps our International Business degree program is an exciting alternative. Here you will be taught comparable content primarily in English. You will also spend a semester abroad at one of our worldwide partner universities.
With the General Management degree, you gain a solid foundation in economics for a successful career in positions with high responsibility such as in the management of a medium-sized enterprise where generalists are in high demand. But even a career entry in corporations or a consulting company is an option, where your chosen specialization is required. Our Career Service Department will gladly assist you in choosing the right career path.

If a Section 1022(i)(2) plan is no longer treated as qualified under the Internal Revenue Code or Puerto Rico Code, the trust would be treated as a foreign trust, taxable in the U.S. on certain U.S. source income, and subject to withholding under Section 1441. The withholding agent, typically the payor of the income, would have to file Form 1042-S, Foreign Person's U.S. Source Income Subject to Withholding, with the IRS.
If a dual-qualified plan is no longer treated as qualified under the Internal Revenue Code, the trust would no longer be exempt and would be taxable. Form 5500 would have to be converted to Form 1041, U.S. Income Tax Return for Estates and Trusts, as with any disqualified domestic trust.

A summer music camp that welcomes children from all over the world is being directly impacted by a tougher new U.S. immigration policy, according to Theresa Kim, the founder of International Music Sessions.
A three-week music program that serves international and local students from ages 10 to 18, IMS has called St. Luke's Episcopal Church in East Hampton its home for eight summers. The nonprofit organization sponsors children who are exceptional musicians but come from challenged economic backgrounds and nations. They receive instruction from world-class musicians, many of whom attended the Juilliard School and play professionally with artists such as Lady Gaga and perform in venues such as Carnegie Hall.
IMS has hosted students from Afghanistan, Tunisia, Israel, Kenya, Congo, Mexico, Bolivia, Colombia, India and Vietnam. Dr. Kim said some of the children's villages don't have music programs or even schools because their governments are so broken and lack funding.
"Music is a saving grace for these kids. It's one of the only things that gives them hope," Dr. Kim said.
Since the program's inception in 2012, the international participants have been able to come to the United States by applying for tourist visas underwritten by the program. This year, four tourist visas were rejected — for two students from Mexico, and two from Kenya.
Dr. Kim said on Friday that IMS wasn't provided with a reason for why the four visas were denied.
"We only found out a week and a half before," said Jason Sugata, the program's director, as he listened to two boys from Vietnam and a group of others sing "Bridge Over Troubled Water" at St. Luke's on Monday. He added that the students who were denied visas were already prepared and excited to take part in the program, for which the selection process began eight months earlier.
In the six years he's been with IMS, Mr. Sugata said, only one student — a child from Mexico last year — has ever been denied a visa.
Non-governmental organizations visit the children's communities and introduce them to music. "Usually, we find the students through an incorporation with other organizations. We ask them for recommendations. Oftentimes, they just need a little more professional direction," Mr. Sugata said. "Some of the kids don't have access to lessons."
He added that the students from America — there are typically about 20 children each year, all told — gain the opportunity to learn about other cultures and make lifelong friends from all over the globe through participation in the program.
After the students are chosen, they are sent invitation letters providing details to take to their local embassy, where they apply for a tourist visa — not a student visa, because the visit is so short. At least two students from each country are chosen, so they do not have to travel alone, as most have never flown on an airplane, or perhaps even left their hometown.
IMS staff meet the students at the airport, and from then on they're taken care of by IMS teachers and staff, staying in what the Vietnamese boys described as a "dorm" in Sag Harbor.
Dr. Kim said the two visas being denied for students from Mexico didn't surprise her, because of the current immigration tension involving the southern border, but that the rejection of the student from Kenya was a surprise, because the program has had Kenyan students in previous years. Last year, IMS was connected with kids from Kenya through a nonprofit, and that program nominated the Kenyan students for the music program.
"It's a life-changing opportunity for these kids," said Dr. Kim, who has a background in performing, having attended Juilliard and received a master's degree in education from Columbia University. She recalled three Afghani students whom she drove to East Hampton three years ago seeing the ocean for the first time and crying, saying they had never seen something so beautiful.
"They jumped into the ocean with their clothes and sneakers on," she said, laughing.
IMS students in the past have received scholarships to colleges such as the Mannes School of Music in New York City.
A 12-year-old boy from Chennai, India, named Lydian Nadhaswaram, attended IMS last year. He went on to win the CBS talent show "The World's Best" on March 13, 2018, defeating other contestants from more than 150 countries. His grand prize for his performance on piano was $1 million.
"Lydian was great. He and his sister came," Mr. Sugata said, adding that his sister was a flutist and singer.
On Monday, "Alex" Nguyen and Bach Pham, the 12- and 10-year-old boys from Vietnam, finished up their singing lesson for the day and went outside to have a quick snack. "We play the violin," the boys said simultaneously as they stood next to each other on the steps outside St. Luke's, eating chips.
"It was a long trip," Alex said of his 18-hour-plus flight, adding that he slept nearly the entire time. Bach nodded in agreement.
"We play every day except weekends," Bach said. "It's fun."
The boys are new to the program, and said they'd like to come back next year.
"East Hampton is a lot different. The cars can go fast. The air is fresh," Alex said as Bach pointed out that they had been preparing for a 5 p.m. recital. Bach and Alex said they're both having fun walking around the local shops, going to the beach, and trying American food.
Mr. Sugata laughed as he said the boys had brought noodles from Vietnam, because they weren't sure if they'd like American food.
Luke Baron of Philadelphia has been a student in IMS for five years. He said that, in the past, he'd write letters to international friends he met through the program. Although Bach doesn't have a cellphone, Luke hopes to stay in contact with his new friend, and he noted that he's also made friends with other kids from India, Kenya, Mexico, Vietnam and Afghanistan through the program.
As the students finished their chips and rushed off to practice their instruments, Irene Guggenheim-Triana, the program manager, expressed concern about the visas that were denied, blaming that on legislative changes. Ms. Guggenhein-Triana said the fear is that more students will be denied visas next year.
"It's such an important opportunity for these kids. We hope we don't have problems like this next year," she said.
"The impact is direct and clear," Dr. Kim said. "Those students are heartbroken that the opportunity has been taken away from them."

PTVII: Welcome to "The Crimson Curtains" by 74loulouteNovember 26, 2009 posted by Captain Blackmoor
Having sailed a thousand seas, faced terrible storms, fought giant underwater monsters, survived the attacks of imperial soldiers, pirates need to recharge.
For this, the private salon "The Crimson curtains" welcomes them. Here, hidden from view, they just take care of themselves. The program: massage, pedicure, but also discreet and calm atmosphere.
This salon is obviously dedicated exclusively to pirates as evidenced by the mosaic desired by the hostess.
It said she was herself a pirate a few years ago before retiring from the underworld and set up her salon.

This week's episode is a book club in which Terra Informers Shelley Jodoin, Dylan Hall, and Amanda Rooney discussed Canadian author and environmental and human rights activist Sheila Watt-Cloutier's book The Right To Be Cold.
Sheila Watt-Cloutier is internationally known for her lifetime of outstanding tenacity and her work dedicated to defending the economic, social, and cultural rights of Inuit and other indigenous people. In 2015 she received the Right Livelihood Award "for her lifelong work to protect the Inuit of the Arctic and defend their right to maintain their livelihoods and culture, which are acutely threatened by climate change." Watt-Cloutier is most famous for proving that climate change is a global violation of human rights and not merely an environmental issue. In her words: "If we continue to allow the Arctic to melt, we lose more than the planet that has nurtured us for all of human history. We lose the wisdom required for us to sustain it."
The terra informers read "The Right To Be Cold", a memoir chronicling Watt-Cloutier's life and work. In her novel Watt-Cloutier brings the reader into all aspects of her life; from a childhood of ice and snow in an Inuit Community in northern Quebec, to a turbulent southern education in a residential school, to political advocacy work in ever more prominent international roles.

Kate Scorgie is a professor in the Department of Advanced Studies in Education at Azusa Pacific University where she teaches courses in educational psychology, research for educators, and adult learning. Her research interests include families of children with disabilities, self-determination of persons with disabilities, participative case study pedagogy and transformative learning.
A father drops his child off at school. He lingers to watch as he crosses the playing field and enters a bungalow classroom at the back of the school ground. "Each step," he confides, "is an ache in my heart. With each step my child is announcing to all who care to notice, 'I'm special ed. I'm special ed.'"
A mother brings a needed book to her son's classroom. She notices him seated off in a corner working alone while the rest of the class is busily absorbed in their group activities. "Imagine," she laments, "he sits alone . . . and this is every day of his life."
Another mother describes how her son has stopped asking for assistance in the classroom since being placed in a pull-out class for reading instruction. "He just doesn't want to put up his hand anymore—to ask for help. He thinks the other kids will think he's stupid."
For fifteen years I have been listening to the stories of parents of children with disabilities. Typically these stories begin with accounts of academic struggle or classroom behavior issues, followed by numerous meetings with teachers, administrators and counselors, a barrage of assessments and, finally, a diagnosis—and a label.
It is often an excruciating time for parents. This is not because the underlying difficulty with learning or attention has finally been pinpointed. It is because parents fear that labels like "learning disability" and "attention deficit disorder" are loaded with hidden inferences that can have far-reaching consequences on their child's education experience.
Many parents quickly become aware of legal provisions like least restrictive environment and zero reject (Jimenez & Graf, 2008). Their concerns about their child's placement, however, have much deeper implications—implications that can challenge our understanding of inclusion. When I ask graduate education students to define inclusion, they give the standard description, the meaningful involvement and participation of children with disabilities in general education classrooms and school environments. To these students, inclusion has to do with physical placement. But to parents, inclusion is about belonging and having value.
Family psychologist and researcher Pauline Boss contends that when we think of family composition; that is, when we differentiate between who is considered in and who is out of a family unit, we are actually considering two ways of defining a family. One is according to physical membership; that is, about who belongs by means of birth, adoption or marriage. The second, and often more important, is the psychological membership, or, in other words, those who are valued, wanted and celebrated. Boss explains that to be a physical member of a family, but marginalized or overlooked, can cause long-term confusion and pain.
The same is true of other group settings like schools. When one is considered a nominal member of a group, by, for example, being listed on a general education class roster, but is treated as if invisible, unwanted or unwelcome, the resultant ache of marginalization can affect one's identity and performance in school, and perhaps even beyond. That's why to parents, inclusion goes beyond having one's name on a class roster; it also involves whether the child is a valued and celebrated member of that class or school.
Parents invite us to look beyond nominal membership in our classes and schools, and ask:
• Who is valued and celebrated in this school?
• What are the criteria by which students, or groups of students, are valued and celebrated? Are these criteria inclusive?
• What students, or groups of students, are devalued or marginalized, or left out of school-wide involvement such as school spirit activities, the arts, or clubs?
• How can we demonstrate valuing and inclusion of each and every student in this school?
It's important for educators to realize that diagnosis of disability introduces a paradoxical dilemma for parents. On the one hand, parents know that diagnosis is necessary to obtain the services their child needs for academic and life success. On the other, however, parents fear that a label will have unintended consequences that will affect their child's experience in school, socially and academically, and may even have implications that reach beyond school.
Parents of children with disabilities long for what all parents desire—that their children will be valued and welcomed as members of their school communities. They want their children to encounter teachers who can help them discover and develop their strengths in ways that imbue visions of a positive, possible self—now and in the future. But, most of all, they want to remind us that a child by any other name, is, first and foremost, a child . . .

Hi, I just wanted to say that after reading this I am almost glad that my 3 yr old daughter who has significant cognitive impairment due to Smith Magenis Syndrome is probably one of the lucky ones. She will be fortunate enough to most likely be completely unaware of this very sad and lonely reality which too many of our special kids and parents of are unfairly delt.
Hi Sandi:
I want to create a story of hope for you and your lovely 3 yr old. . . Pauline Boss, to whom I referred in the blog, talks about the importance of sharing stories. Stories, she says, help us enter into the lived experience of another. And when our stories intersect through a common theme—such as what every parent desires for their child's school experience—doors are opened for collaboration and change. That's why I believe educators need to hear the voices of parents of children with disabilities who attend their schools. They need to be reminded that all parents desire to see their children valued, included and progressing toward optimal academic and life goals.
So, how do "stories" relate to inclusion? Sociologist, Sara Green, who is also the mother of a daughter with cerebral palsy, reminds us that "stigma" does not exist within a person. Rather, it exists in the space "between" people. Inclusion exists within that "space," too. Sharing stories can help us decide how we want to live within that space. And therein, says Green, lies hope. Hope that through mutual understanding of what inclusion really means (found in the stories we share), we can create school communities in which all children and all families—in which your lovely daughter and your family—are welcomed and valued. To this end, this blog is committed.

Listen to supermom Jennifer Garner: Stay out of the sun! "Sure, a tan looks good, but it's not worth messing up your skin long-term," the actress, whose peaches and cream complexion is testament to her commitment to sun protection, tells Us Weekly.
"It's important to prioritize sunscreen as a family," says the mom, who has three kids — Violet, 7, Seraphina, 4, and Samuel, 14 months — with husband Ben Affleck, 40. The Neutrogena spokeswoman, 41, tells Us how she covers her bases.
Wear SPF every day, rain or shine. "I love Neutrogena's SPF 30 moisturizer with retinol and vitamin C. But if I'm going to the beach, I'll use a waterproof formula with SPF 70."
Educate children at an early age. "They do not relish putting on sunscreen everyday, but we make it quick. Ben puts it on the kids when I'm not home and vice versa. If I forget to do it, they'll remind me."
Limit time spent outdoors. "When I was younger and on the swim team, I'd try to get more and more tan all year. Now I know it only takes one burn to double your chance of skin cancer later in life."
Buy 1, donate 1. "You have to be sure your kids are protected from the sun. One bad sunburn in childhood could actually double your child's odds of developing skin cancer later in life. I love that for the months of May through July, when you buy any Neutrogena product with SPF, Neutrogena will donate one to a family in need. So not only are you doing something good for yourself this summer by being protected, but you're also doing something for other families, too."

Easy Baby Knits by Claire Montgomerie.
The pattern calls for an aran weight yarn, and I used Baby Cashmerino, by Debbie Bliss, so I had to do all sorts of math to get the sizing and gauge right. It would certainly be easier (and faster) in the aran weight yarn, but Baby Cashmerino is so wonderful and I happened to have it in my stash at the time! The pattern calls for snap tape for the bottom (or to just knit the bottom together but I find that to be terribly inconvenient for diaper changing purposes). The only snap tape I found had tiny little snaps that didn't actually stick together very well, so I ended up sewing snaps onto pieces of grosgrain ribbon, and sewing those onto the outfit instead of the snap tape. Much more secure!
It is so rewarding to see my kiddos in clothes I made, and doubly so that they can both wear some of them! This won't continue for long, as the clever girl's clothes eventually got more "girlie", but I'll enjoy it while I can!

Bridges : Journey Through East European Music
Product Notes
Program Notes. Written by Dr. Vincent Corrigan, professor of musicology and harpsichord at Bowling Green State University. Serenade for 2 Violins and Viola Op. 12 Zoltán Kodály (1882-1967) In the first decades of the 20th century, Kodály and Bartók were the most prominent names associated with Hungarian nationalism in music. The two were life-long friends, having spent considerable time together in collecting Hungarian folk music, but their compositional styles were very different. While Bartók cultivated a style as independent as possible from the past, Kodály inclined to traditional forms and, to a certain extent, harmonic and rhythmic structures. Kodály's Serenade Op. 12 (1920-21), the culminating work of his early chamber music period, exhibits many of these traits. The first movement is in sonata form, where much of the movement is dominated by the rhythmic pattern heard in the first measure. In fact, it is absent for a prolonged period only during the lyrical second theme. The third movement is sectional with aspects of both sonata form and variations. The thematic recall is customary of the sonata, while the similar rhythmic and melodic motives in each section reflect variation principle. The second movement is the most unusual. Cast in ternary form, it consists of a dialogue between the viola and first violin against the harmonic background of muted tremolos in the second violin. Here Kodály approaches Bartók's more acerbic harmonic style, and not surprisingly, Bartok particularly admired this movement: "We find ourselves in a fairy world never dreamed of before." Balada for Violin and Piano, Op. 29 Ciprian Porumbescu (1853-1883) Before his untimely death at age 29, Porumbescu pursued a remarkably active career as a composer, choirmaster, conductor, teacher, music educator, and writer. He had studied in Vienna with Bruckner, among others, and, after his return to Romania, participated in all aspects of Romanian musical life as concert and festival organizer, song composer, and performer. His music became emblematic of late 19th-century Romanian nationalism. Porumbescu is credited with being one of the founders of Romanian instrumental composition, and the Balada, is one of the works on which this reputation rests. A mournful melody alternates, in the manner of a rondo, with two other sections of a different sentiment or tempo. The piece concludes with the initial melody. First Rhapsody Béla Bartók (1881-1945) The First Rhapsody was composed 1928, nearly simultaneously with Second Rhapsody. There are three versions of this piece: Violin and Piano (the first, prepared in 1928), Violin and Orchestra, and Cello and Piano. It is dedicated to violinist József Szigeti, who, along with Zoltán Székely, advised Bartók on his violin compositions of the 1920s and 1930s. The work is in the form of a verbunkos, consisting of a slow introductory section, the Lassú, and a following fast section, the Friss, the same format that Liszt and others used for their Hungarian-inspired works. Bartók allowed for the possibility that the two movements could be played separately, and provided an alternative ending for the Friss in case it was played alone. It is this alternative ending that appears in the version for violin and piano. Duos for 2 Violins Béla Bartók The 44 Duos for Two Violins began life in 1930 as a contribution to an anthology of violin music compiled by the German music educator Eric Dorflein. But Bartók far exceeded Dorflein's request. By May he had completed and sent to Dorflein 16 duos, and by September the collection of 44 was finished. Dorflein himself published 18 of them in his anthology, and Universal of Vienna issued the complete set in 1933. Forty-two of the duos are based on folk songs and dances from Central and Eastern Europe, the fruits of Bartók's ethnomusicological work. Two of the duos (#35, Ruthenian Kolomejka; #36 Bagpipes) are original compositions in the style of folk melody. Although the title of the collection is 44 Duos, there are actually 45 pieces. Number 36 (Bagpipes) consists of the piece itself and, as a separate entry, a variant that alters the rhythm of the drone and adds grace notes to the melody. This recording gives the variant only. #10 Ruthenian Song #14 Cushion Dance #15 Soldiers' Song #17 Marching Song 1 #18 Marching Song 2 #32 Dance from Máramaros #35 Ruthenian Kolomejka [Original theme] #36 Bagpipes [Original Theme] #40 Romanian Dance #44 Transylvanian Dance The Lark (Ciocârlia) Most listeners recognize The Lark (Ciocârlia) from the electrifying conclusion to George Enescu's Romanian Rhapsody No. 1. It's history is unclear. Perhaps it's origins lie in folk music; this would explain the variety of adaptations it enjoys. In the 19th century it was associated with Ciprian Porumbescu, who may have arranged it, and the violinist Anghelus Dinicu, who popularized it. By the early 20th century it had become emblematic of Romania, when Enescu used it in his Rhapsody, and Gigoras Dinicu (1889-1949), grandson of Anghelus, arranged it for violin. The many other adaptations include arrangements for string quartet, mixed instrumental ensembles, panpipes, guitar, accordion, dulcimer, and of course violin and piano, including Dinicu's own setting. Part of the charm of these arrangements is the opportunity it affords the soloist to engage in extravagant birdcalls as a cadenza. This makes every performance unique, and every performer has a personal version. This is Vasile's.

Its after the holidays and everything is slowing down. The restaurant industry slows to a crawl. This dosn't mean we don't have to work as hard. In fact being in a management position we have to work harder.
Now we have to cut labor and run with a skeleton crew so if we get busy we get screwed in a sense. This means we have to run around and make the restaurant run with the least amount of staff as possible.
If tables don't get cleaned quick enough I have to clean tables. If the food isn't getting cooked fast enough I have to cook and if tables aren't getting waited on fast enough I have to assist the servers.
Everyone has to work a little bit harder when we get busy due to labor cuts but the busy periods only last a couple hours this time of year and we mostly remain slow.

I had not thought about the post holiday issues. You normally think of that happening to retailers because the seasonal hiring is more noticeable for them.
I'm a small business owner that sales an online employee scheduling software. I'm looking for a few managers to give it a test drive and provide feedback on how it works. In exchange I'd give away 6 months of free service.
If you are interested you can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com or visit my site at www.webworkschedules.com. I hope you will take me up on the offer.

Java SE 6 is the current major release of the Java SE platform, with full support from NetBeans IDE. Sun endeavors to foster the highest level of transparency and collaboration on the platform with the Java community through Project JDK 6, resulting in the following key features. Sun's Java Multi-Platform Support, Training, and Certification can provide you the peace of mind to develop and deploy Java solutions with confidence.

Key Features
Java SE 6 features and enhancements to the platform are summarized in the Umbrella JSR (JSR 270). Support, Training, and Certification optimize your use of these key features. »More
More Information
Many of you let us know you were happy with the release of Java SE 6, but still had questions. Product Marketing Manager Bill Curci was pleased to provide more information for you. Have more questions? Send them our way!
Q: Where can I read about the Swing-related enhancement in Java SE 6?
A: Sun's technical writers recently did an interview with one of the lead architects/engineers on the Swing team, Scott Violett who provided the following summary of Swing related enhancements in Java SE 6:
"The Java SE 6 release adds a cornucopia of new desktop-related features. We've added subpixel font rendering and improved our GIMP Toolkit (GTK+) and Windows look and feel. We've added much-requested features such as the splash-screen API, table sorting and filtering, and desktop APIs. Layout is easier with
Q: How is Java SE 6 different from the previous version (J2SE 5.0): what are the improved and updated areas, such as functionality, security, performance?
A: Anyone who has existing Java applications, will benefit immediately from the performance, reliability, and UI improvements in Java SE 6. Coupled with the expanded monitoring and diagnositics capacities built into the platform, the release delivers dramatic out-of-the-box benefits without any coding changes or even a re-compile necessary. Simply running existing Java applications on this latest release is all that is needed.
For developers, Java SE 6 streamlines web service and XML development, simplifies GUI development and augments native desktop support, expands programmatic access to native security facilities, and is the first release to offer a standardized framework for scripting languages. NetBeans IDE integrates with the release to further simplify the use of these and other new developer features in the release.
Of course, these are just the highlights, for more details on the release, check out the Java SE 6 page or, sign up for the new online class.

If you have used Java SE 6 (aka JDK6, Peabody), share your experience with the product team and for a chance to get highlighted on our site!
Graeme Wallace, CTO, FareCompare , "When the early builds of Java SE 6 came out, we jumped in to see if we could get any performance improvements, which are crucial to our business. To make a long story short, the difference between Java SE 5 and Java SE 6 was startling. In terms of crunching through air fares, we are talking an increase in speed of 25% to 30%."

We have no specific evidence to show that this holiday was observed by the ancient Celts. We do though, find a word in Old Celtic, Medro-saminos, that means '(of) Mid Summer'. Midsummer is also known as Litha and Alban Hefin (from Wales - point of summer). "Litha" means "stone" and is associated with calendars.
A solstice is an astronomical point and, due to the precession to the equinox, the date may vary by a few days depending on the year. The summer solstice is the midpoint of summer, when the sun is above the horizon for the longest period, has its northernmost rising and setting, and its highest elevation at noon. It is the apex of the sun's splendor, the longest day and the shortest night.

While Philippe Chow is ostensibly still in a war with Mr. Chow in Miami, New York City and Los Angeles, the posh Hamptons still seem to be the sole domain of Philippe Chow. Last summer, Philippe Chow debuted a summertime outpost of their gourmet Chinese restaurant concept in East Hampton. This resort at the Eastern end of Long Island is known for famous people (think Steven Spielberg, Jerry Seinfeld and Gwyneth Paltrow) and trendy restaurants. On the weekends, the glitterati did indeed patronize Philippe Chow in droves to people-watch, snack on bright orange chicken satay and sip on lychee martinis.
However, it remained a mystery as to whether or not Philippe Chow would once again open its doors in East Hampton after being shuttered all winter. After all, the summer before, the same space was rented out by China Grill owner Jeffrey Chodorow, who declined to renew after one season. Question solved: The eatery relaunches on May 25, just in time for Memorial Day weekend. Now, all of the Hamptons crowd (which includes many snow bird Miamians) will have a place to eat Peking duck while commiserating over how bad the traffic is on the LIE. If you are heading to East Hampton, be sure to book a table on the outdoor patio, where the scene is not as claustrophobic as it is indoors.

Are you looking for outdoor power equipment from a proven brand? Shindaiwa offers dependable performance and durability for professional results.
You may recognize Shindaiwa, or ECHO, its parent company, as a leader in the outdoor power equipment (OPE) industry for several reasons. Their long history includes the advancement of some of the most iconic equipment and a continuing commitment to quality and performance.
Shindaiwa's dedication and high standards are obvious at every stage of their production process. Knowledgeable engineers are involved in the research, development, and testing of each tool the company makes, and high-caliber components are used in each tool's production. The result is a reputation that power tool users everywhere can trust.
"Quiet" and "comfortable" aren't words that we use often when describing power tools. But the EB6000W Lithium-Ion Cordless Leaf Blower delivers—dare we say it?—a pleasant user experience with lots of strength behind it.
How quietly and comfortably does the EB6000W run? The answer, in both of those cases, is very:
This electric blower pushes out air at a speed of 133 mph at the tip of the nozzle, with an airflow volume of 367 cfm.
Even first-time leaf blower users will find that the EB6000W is a tool that makes fall lawn care a breeze.
And, if you need additional outdoor power equipment, the EB6000W Lithium-Ion Cordless Leaf Blower is available in combo kits with the following Shindaiwa tools below.
Given that some of Shindaiwa's best-known products are string trimmers, it should be no surprise that the T3000 Lithium-Ion Cordless String Trimmer comes recommended as one of the top tools for tackling overgrowth.
The T3000 offers plenty of strength and power, with features that help users cut through even the thickest weeds, foliage, and blades of grass:
This trimmer is designed for comfort and ease of use, too. The T3000 has rubber over-molded front and rear handles that reduce the amount of strain on a user's grip. Its balanced structure smoothly transfers power from the motor and allows users to maneuver the trimmer effortlessly around their lawns.
If you need a manageable yet powerful string trimmer, the T3000 has what you need.
When we tell you that the DH2000 Lithium-Ion Cordless Hedge Trimmer has a 24-inch double-sided, double-reciprocating blade, we understand that you might be awed by this trimmer's cutting power.
However, we want you to know that the DH2000 also has features that both prevent damage to the trimmer and protect the user:
Safety is important for anyone using a motor as strong as the DH2000's 56-volt powered brushless motor. Thanks to these features and others, like the external zerk fitting for hassle-free gearcase greasing, this string trimmer is safe—and easy—to use and maintain.
Shindaiwa power tools are designed to be efficient, effective, and best of all, low maintenance. Still, every rechargeable battery eventually needs more juice.
Shindaiwa's Standard Lithium-Ion Battery Charger will provide the charge you need to run any of the 56-volt hand tools listed above. It can charge a 2 Ahr battery in approximately 72 minutes and a 4 Ahr battery in approximately 150 minutes.
If you need even more speed, the Shindaiwa Lithium-Ion Rapid Battery Charger will get the job done almost twice as quickly. It can charge a 2 Ahr battery in approximately 42 minutes and a 4 Ahr battery in approximately 88 minutes.
Chargers are essential, but anyone who uses battery-powered equipment knows that it never hurts to have a spare battery at the ready.
The Shindaiwa 2.0 Ah Lithium-Ion Battery works with any of the 56-volt lithium-ion powered hand tools listed above. The standard charger will fully recharge it in 72 minutes, while the rapid charger will finish the job in 42 minutes.
A quick look through our site is all you need to realize how many choices you have in outdoor lawn care equipment. When trying to decide how to spend your money, we believe you can't go wrong by choosing a brand long known for excellence.
With Shindaiwa's line of handheld outdoor power tools, you can take comfort knowing that, once you register your product, your investment is backed by a legendary 5-year consumer/2-year commercial warranty that has earned the devotion of lawn care professionals and enthusiasts for years.

Answer by odmgd (10516) | Jan 04, 2016 at 10:35 AM
This problem is caused by version discrepancy between Rule Designer and Decision Center.
This is not supported as explained in Installing and using versions of ODM/JRules modules (Rule Designer, Rule Execution Server, Decision Center and Decision Validation Services) that are different from each other
Upgrading to ODM 8.7.1 Rule Designer solves the issue
Answer by darren_damato (403) | Feb 24, 2017 at 04:42 PM
This can also get caused by something that happens when switching between Classic and Decision Engine. After making a change to the rule engine setting, I started to see this error. I resolved it by changing the Decision Operation to "Do not use a ruleflow" and then switching it back to "Use main ruleflow".

So many people talk about living in the "now," instead of the past or the future. But I'm here to tell you that "now" is out of style. It's old fashioned.
"Now" is the aggregate summation of yesterday. It is the end product of all those old vectors of momentum that have collided to produce what we see, hear and feel as this current moment. "Now" is riddled with the past. It has the stench of the "past" running through every fiber of it.
So, what should we be looking at? If "now" is passé, where should you be dwelling, if not the past, present or future?
Your zone of creation—that's where it's at. This is you tapped into the Source of all things. This is you being friends again with the Big Kahuna—the Head Honcho of this universe. This is you being at one again with who you really are.
Living in the "Now"
Living in the "now" is like being a slave to the past. Certainly, you have to acknowledge what's happening now, otherwise you'd merely be living in a delusion. But you're bigger than that. You're bigger than the "now." Your zone of creation is what powers the future.
The problem with most people is that they look to the "now" to get their input for creating the future. They create by "default." They're running on automatic. Their creation reinforces the status quo and by doing so, they become a cog in the machine. Not a pretty sight, that.
If you want change, you have to be willing to get outside your comfort zone.
"Comfortable?" you ask. "I'm not comfortable with debt and heartache. Debt is not in my comfort zone."
Certainly, we're not talking about physical comfort. We're talking about spiritual comfort. We're talking about the product of your decisions. You have decided that you are more comfortable "feeling" worry and concern. It's your decision. You decided to be here where you are now. Your comfort zone is not something you consciously wish for yourself, but you have to take responsibility for it. Blaming it on circumstances or the government will only cripple you.
Moving Beyond Now
When you reinvigorate the joy of dreaming, your dreams cannot help but move toward you. The thrill of savoring your dream's details opens the door to their accomplishment.
So long as you look at dreams with regret, worry or some other negative emotion, you are not living the dream. Some worry that living the dream is living in a delusion. They caution themselves and others to "get real" or "be reasonable." But they miss the bigger picture. Every big breakthrough in civilization occurred by someone being decidedly "unreasonable." They looked beyond the traditional way of looking at things and imagined a solution outside of the current "box" of thought. Einstein's dreams led to Relativity and Christ's faith led to miracles.
Creating Miracles
My marriage had ended a decade earlier, but I had been in no hurry to find someone new. After ten years of being single and no dating, I decided to make a change. This time, though, I would do it right. I started with a list of desirable traits, but I held only a few of them as mandatory. Which ones? She had to be spiritual and honorable. She had to place great value on telling the truth and she had to know she is a spiritual being in possession of a human body.
I looked far and near. I looked on the internet, because it allowed me to search a great number of traits with relative ease. Of course, my two key traits would have to be verified through getting to know the person. But a year of searching left me with no one and feeling no closer to my goal.
Then it struck me that I had been going about it all wrong. I had spent a year feeling lonely and frustrated only to have that feeling build my future. Like the old saying goes, you can't make a silk purse out of a pig's ear. Rotten feelings cannot build a beautiful future.
In late April, 2007, I decided to feel "in love." I decided to practice this feeling in every way I could.
The realist would say, "this is merely living a lie—wallowing in a delusion." But the realist is wrong.
What's the difference? The person living in a delusion is unaware of reality. Let that thought sink in for a moment.
So long as you are aware of reality, you're not living in a delusion. This is one key difference between delusion and creation. The other key difference is that of awareness vs. attention.
- In a delusion, awareness is on the delusion, while attention is on reality.
- In creation, awareness is on reality, while attention is on the object of your desire.
Why this distinction between awareness and attention? Because awareness is perception (effect) and attention is creation (cause). Awareness is conscious thought, while attention is subconscious feeling.
For two weeks, I practiced "feeling in love." I would go to the grocery or hardware store and pull out my cell phone as if answering it. "Hi, sweetheart…. No, nothing this evening…. That sounds great. What time?… Okay, my darling. Eight o'clock. I'll see you then. I love you. Bye for now."
Who was I talking to? My nameless lover. The girl of my dreams. The woman I'm going to marry. Doing this in public made it all the more real. No one knew I was talking to an inactive phone.
On May 5, 2007, she contacted me! Through one of the websites of which I had become a member, she left me a note. Hundreds of hours of chatting and less than six months later, we were married. I had quit my lucrative job as a software engineer and had moved to the Philippines to be with her.
Don't Live in the Now
Yes, the "now" is passé. It is so "yesterday" wrapped up in a ribbon of vivid reality. With the "now," you remain a cog in the machine of physical "truth." You don't want that.
Living strictly in the "now" is like being a passenger in the back seat, but no driver—only the grooves and bumps on the road to give your vehicle direction. By slipping into your zone of creation, you take over the wheel and direct your vehicle with conscious certainty.
Instead of being a victim of the past, start living the reality you want to live. Even if it isn't visibly there yet, start living it, now. Do it in comfortable pieces, if you must. Take one thing at a time and practice it until you are comfortable with your new life. When an opportunity shows up, move on it. Keep your awareness on reality but your attention on the dream.
So, there you have it—the secret behind The Secret of the Law of Attraction. As a child of God, it's your duty to snap out of it and to stop living in the now.
Make it a good dream and a brilliant reality.
Okay, now what success stories do you have to tell about changes you've made in your life? What questions or challenges do you want to share?

Work Outside India
The centre in Sydney, Australia, the Ramakrishna Sarada Vedanta Society of N.S.W. conducted regularly spiritual and cultural activities in and around Sydney. Religious festivals were observed, and lectures and retreats conducted in Adelaide and other places. Pravrajika Gayatriprana, head of the centre participated in meetings of the Women's Interfaith Network (WIN) and the World Conference of Religions for Peace (WCRP). A Sunday class for children was conducted regularly to acquaint them with Indian culture; weekly Sanskrit classes and yoga classes continued. Young People's Forums (age group 17–35) were organized occasionally for personality development and integration, while members of the Vivekananda Book Club met once a month to study in depth selected letters of Swamiji.
The Society maintained the Sarada Tapovan at Burwood Heights where the monastic sisters lived, the Vedanta Hall at Croydon, where the Vedanta Book Agency as well as classes and other activities were conducted, and the Bharati Retreat Centre at Darama, Robertson, a two hours' drive from Sydney. Collection of food and clothing for donation to the needy via the Sydney City Mission continued as before.
The centre at Colombo, Ramakrishna Sarada Mission (Lanka Branch) conducted regular worship, bhajans, Pradeep Puja, spiritual and cultural classes, lectures, a Bal Mandir etc. Special Puja was performed on the birthdays of Sri Ramakrishna, Sri Sarada Devi and Swami Vivekananda as well as on Thai Pongal, New Year and Deepawali days. The centre conducted the Matri Mandir, an old age home for women, Sri Sarada Balika Mandir, a children's home in Colombo and also an orphanage at Matale. Other charitable activities such as distribution of clothes, study materials to needy students etc. continued as before. Pravrajika Sushantaprana and Pravrajika Atmadevaprana are in charge of the work as President and Secretary of the centre, respectively.
During the period under review, Pravrajika Satchitprana went to Singapore in June 2012 for about 15 days, where she held classes, retreats etc., while Pravrajika Vivekaprana was invited to lecture in different places of the United States from January to April 2013.
If you want peace of mind, do not find fault with others. Rather learn to see your own faults. Make the whole world your own. No one is a stranger, my child; this is your own.

The GUI and functionality should be made as flat as posible. Hieracical structures (many submenues, deep task trees or forum threads) often makes the GUI less intuitive and also more cumbersome (more clicks). The information is also harder to extract easily.My initial feel is that the pp has to many levels and hieracies. I would take me 3 click just to get to the task view where I have to start clicking on subtasks again just to get the information that I need, easily ending up in 5-6 clicks to see the task.Features that can make it less hierarical are:
Hi Jardar and thanks for your feedback!
I will forward your input to our design team. We work very hard to try and keep things as easy as possible and it's useful to get input on what people find tricky or complicated.
All the best,Karolina

I managed to work out some quilting for the corners, when I did the borders I didn't even think about the corners, lesson learned as next time I will plan a bit better. I think it took me just over a month to do all the quilting, mainly ditch stitching as I felt there was already plenty to look at on the quilt. As you can see I have started the binding, I joined all the binding strips nicely, but needed three attempts to join up the final ends, first I had too much binding, the next time I twisted the binding, third time was the charm, the striped fabric made it more difficult as I wanted to match the stripes.
The other project I have been working on is the Grandmother's Choice BOW , we are up to the third block now and I'm keeping up although I have yet to piece the block below. I thought I would hand piece the majority of the blocks, it doesn't take long and I find it quite relaxing, once I have chosen all the fabrics and the layout that is :)
Amethyst is the name of the block below, it is last weeks block, hand pieced as well and didn't take too long to make at all.

Cody has excellent taste... this is a superb effort and a beautiful outcome Pip. Congratulations. Such happiness on a bed!ReplyDelete
I am not sure what to admire first - that Cody cat or the beautiful quilt he is sitting on! Both are exquisite.ReplyDelete
Cheers - Joolz
PS My hubby is starting to worry about me - I have requested that in my old age, I want black faced suffolk sheep to roam on our block, a pug dog, a scottish fold cat and maybe a miniature daschund thrown in for good measure!
You HAVE been busy, Pip! Your FW is stunning... and Cody does have good taste!ReplyDelete
Love your fabric choices for the GC blocks... so interesting to see how different blocks looks with the variety of chosen fabrics...
wonderful work Pip, great solution to the quilt corner. Don't forget to ask Cody not to shed on the quilt... it needs to be free of hair for the show. I really like your BB quilt blocks, your colour scheme is fabulous and i know you have selected some gorgeous fabrics so future blocks are eagerly anticipated.ReplyDelete
lol at your binding challenge - that sounds so like me, I have finished off binding often with several mistakes in itReplyDelete
Beautiful cat on a beautiful bed.
I think Cody thinks you made the quilt for him :-D It looks gorgeous on your bed.ReplyDelete
I just love your BOW quilt blocks. Beautiful fabric !
Oh Pip...Lovely doesn't quite describe it. Amazing is close... WOW! Love it.ReplyDelete
Cody looks great his new quilt - I can't decide which is the more beautiful, lol.ReplyDelete
Gosh, hasn't the quilting made your FW look even more amazing - it now has a "zing", and your binding fabric is just perfect.
I find hand work is a wonderful way to slow down and relax. For my knitting I now always use circular needles as I used to get all 7 kilos of Zebby Cat hanging onto the other end of a straight needle, bless the furry lad!
What a beautiful Quilt Pip. Would love to see it in real life. Look forward to catching up next week.!ReplyDelete
