AMD is working on a tri-core processor, a three-core version of Phenom. Toliman will be a 65 nm chip and will use AM2+ motherboards supporting HyperTransport 3 and having 2 MB of L3 cache. The 65 nm Tolimans are planned for March 2008. A 45 nm version supporting AM3 motherboards is planned for 2009.
Toliman, or Phenom X3, will fit in between Phenom X2 and Phenom X4. The new X3 variant of Phenom is–perhaps unsurprisingly–a quad-core chip with one core disabled. In other words, the Phenom X4s that come off the line with one faulty core have it disabled and are relabeled X3. Presumably, some of the X2s will also be X4s, but with two faulty cores. This will undoubtedly increase manufacturing yield, but to what point? Windows certainly handles SMP configurations with 1, 2, 4, 8, etc processors/cores. However, does Windows support an asymmetric processor scheme?
According to AMD's press release in September, Microsoft is exploring how to take advantage of this new processor. A Microsoft spokesperson is quoted as saying, "We see potential for power and performance improvements through triple-core processing in the industry and are exploring with AMD the possibility of taking advantage of this in the Microsoft family of products." That makes it sound like Windows may not currently be ready for a triple-core processor. Further clarification is needed. However, the new processor won't arrive until March 2008, leaving some time for Windows to catch up.
You can read a bit more over at Digitimes. An article on Digit-Life also includes a portion of the Phenom road map.

Resiliency: an Indigenous perpsective
Human resiliency is like a willow tree branch. It can bend to make the ribs of a sweat lodge or bend to create a full circle to create a dream catcher. When we bend that willow tree branch and then release it, it bounces back to almost it's original shape, but not quite. It is changed forever. We as humans are the same. When life deals us challenging times, we bend like that willow tree branch and are changed forever.
Indigenous worldviews and the importance we place on relationships naturally compliments fostering resiliency in children. Resiliency requires a concentrated focus on positive and nurturing relationships with family, caregivers and community members. It also requires a focus on fostering relationships with all aspects of the child's world.
It is through these relationships that children will develop and strengthen their sense of self and security in their world, thus strengthening their resiliency and ability to adapt, grow and change throughout childhood and the rest of their lives.

Denver Harlequins v Salt Lake City Gladiators
|Salt Lake City Gladiators had reason for a celebratory, post-match Haka
Forty minutes southeast of PleasantView, it was warm and breezy at Cook Park's Cooker Rugby Ground for a friendly officiated by the well-traveled Chris Huff (see previous report) - who'd done the early in Boulder as well - and Denver v Salt Lake City after the pill in Gladiators inaugural fixture.
Harlequins making inroads early with repeated forays into the SLC 22, but their guests' stoppages out wide sufficient to contain and turnover. Salt Lake methodic in patient penetration right up the center from the loose and threatening the Harlequins goal before a Gladiators knock-on in the host business district enabled wing Paul Bordenkircher's savvy scoop and clearance.
Denver aboard first after SLC were pinged at breakdown and breakaway Jason Burbach with the sticksplitter from 30 meters out on the left post: 3-nil Quins in the 16th minute.
Inside center Adam Fisher (former Super Leaguer with Denver Barbarians) nifty shift to Bordenkircher put the flyer in space 30 meters out for his fast finish, and with Burbach perfect on the conversion, a lead extension to 10 for the home team after 28 minutes; and tallies of 10 and 0 for halftime at Huff's breaktime blast.
Gladiators better with inside channel work, pick-and-goes from breakdown, though the visitors were a bit untidy in the loose at tackles, while Harlequins on top of the counterstrike with fullback, Mike Boyle, and Bordenkircher returning sharply and rapidly.
Salt Lake roared out of the blocks after re-start as openside Tau Tongaonevai collected flyhalf Maka Pulu's kick ahead and blasted into goal for the touch down; with Pulu's spot-on conversion struck from 30 meters, just outside the left post, a tightening of tallies at 10-7 at 46'.
|Gladiators on the march with Harlequins attending
Gladiators would take the lead with a banging sparkler along far touch for fifty meters by flyer Felise Enoka; Pulu's extras made it 14 for SLC and 10 for Quins in the 55th minute.
Swift service by Salt Lake halfback Naoleni Fonva had fullback, Moresby Tauiautusa, grounded a try for relief flyhalf Lofi Fuatogi's completion and it was 21-10 to the travelers at 68 minutes.
|Quins with snappy backline penetration
Ever-present Bordenkircher drew Denver closer after a cutback incision for 30 meters made for his try, completed by Burbach, and 21-17 for Salt Lake with a final fantastic ten minutes of action yet to play.
But last numbers for Gladiators as Pulu struck a penalty in the 78th minute for a final scoreline of 24-17 to Salt Lake City Gladiators in first-match, first-win victory for the Utahns.
Harlequins - Try: Bordenkircher (2); Con: Burbach (2): Pen: Burbach;
Gladiators - Try: Tongaonevai, Enoka, Tauiautusa; Con: Pulu (2), Fuatogi: Pen Pulu
Match Official: Chris Huff

Somewhere in my writing I describe myself as "mercurial". Some people don't know what this word means. Courtesy of Dictionary.com :
changeable; volatile; fickle; flighty; erratic: a mercurial nature.
animated; lively; sprightly; quick-witted."
It's a fairly good description of me. I'm not so sure about "fickle and flighty" – I don't think I'm "Fickle" [which] … "implies an underlying perversity as a cause for the lack of stability" or "Flighty" [which] … "implies slightly delirious; light-headed; mildly crazy or irresponsible". (okay – maybe "mildly crazy" is CLOSE .. but SHUT UP!). But changeable, volatile, animated, lively, quick-witted? "Hello me" in a nutshell. (heh –heh "nutshell").
So yesterday wasn't the best of days. Today I awoke – and expected a similar day. But I was wrong. I never know if I change my fortunes – or if my fortunes change me – but something shifted.
One of the first things I did was write to the client from yesterday and offer an apology. I don't know how you feel about written apologies vs. verbal – but I think I took the easy way out. Anyway – I ended up talking to the client during the day. Everything was fine – we even laughed a few times. The client didn't refer to yesterday or the apology – and neither did I, but I felt better with our interaction today.
The day went along. At some point the GM came back to the "guest chair". As he sat down I flashed him a big smile – and chuckled. (I was responding to a funny e-mail - OPS!) He said, "Why are you in such a good mood? Look at you – you've been laughing and cheerful all day today." And it took me by surprise. Just because yesterday was shit, doesn't mean today would be the same way, does it? Then as we started to review some programming/client issues I switched to pensive – and actually a little upset. See the "Mercury" changed again. One of the things I struggle with is having to tell a client "no" – yet convince them our programs are still the best. It's hard enough to convince people change is "great", much less "change" and "not the way you like or want" is "WONDERFUL" and "you should still be our client". But it's even more difficult when a co-worker sits there and says, "Just tell them that's stupid." Or "Why do they do business that way? We're not going to do it."
Now many times, I am in agreement. People are doing things "the old way" and "there's a better way". But there are times – when this isn't true. When very successful companies do things in ways we don't expect. In ways we never KNEW ABOUT in our old programs. They discovered the loopholes in programming and made them work – FOR THEM. Now – we've changed platforms and taken away the loopholes. And it's left to me to tell them there will be no new programming (ever) – or in the near future to meet their needs. It's a tough place to occupy. And it's an even tougher place to occupy when someone is sitting so matter-of-fact next to you, uttering these statements of finality – without having to take the heat – or deal with the consequences.
So today continued on - two clients – who knew a little bit about yesterday sent words of encouragement and support to me. Words that meant everything. And once again my mood was buoyant. I was so HAPPY – and life was so GOOD.
It makes me feel unsteady to walk this ledge – between "VERY GOOD" and "BARELY HANGING ON". I do not know how it can change so quickly from one to the other … but it does.
Here are some things that have been "VERY GOOD" in the recent past. Silly things. Inconsequential things – but things that make me smile – and laugh – when the urge to cry doesn't obliterate the sunshine.
Swanson has returned to selling chicken broth in SMALLL cardboard containers . For awhile they were selling them in an 8oz container. It was awesome! So many things call for a cup of broth or a few tablespoons. If You buy a can of broth, it is hard to freeze – and it will go "bad" in the refrigerator in about 3 days. So these 1 cup cardboard containers allowed you to reseal and store in the refrigerator – or freezer, without making ice-cubes! But then they STOPPED making them last year. But now!!! The 14 oz. cardboard container has returned.
Jewelry Repair and Tailor shop! There is a small "shopping center" (think 1950's) at the end of my street. It has a bar/restaurant, a "Quick Stop" convenience store , a frame shop, a beauty parlor, and a dry cleaner. On Friday I noticed they added the Jewelry (now I can get a batter y for my watch that I've been wearing for 2 years without being able to tell time) and Tailor shop! Oh happy days. I can take care of most of my business within 2 miles of my house. Whole Foods, regular grocery store, gas station, car wash, auto-mechanic, etc., etc., etc. I love living "inside" the town!
ABC - On Monday I trudged to the grocery store near my office after work. I needed a few things so I could make dinner – and I knew it would be less crowed than the other stores on my way home. Besides groceries I needed a light-bulb for my oven-hood/exhaust. I was pleased to be in/out of the grocery store in 15 minutes. Then I walked next door to the hardware store. BUT GUESS WHAT'S GOING IN BETWEEN THE GROCERY STORE AND THE HARDARE STORE?!?! (Yes, I am yelling – and jumping up and down for joy too!) An ABC store! Less than a mile from MY OFFICE!
Now you'll only understand the excitement if you live in one of these places where the state or local government SELLS ALCOHOL. In places like CALIFORNIA AND ARIZONA – you can buy alcohol anywhere. Hard alcohol, wine, beer – ANYTHING YOUR HEART DESIRES. In California you can buy it anytime after 6:00 am – and until 2:00 am. (as Bob and Doug would say "Beauty"). In Arizona you can DRIVE THRU – and get your alcohol without leaving your car!
But here? Here – OMG – it's like staging an military coupe. You can only buy "hard" alcohol at STATE OWNED and operated stores. They seem to congregate around the ocean. Here in town – they are NO WHERE CLOSE to my house. Nor on my way home or to the office. They are only open from 11:00 am – 7:00 pm M-F and 12:00 – 5:00 pm on Saturdays . (or something equally OBSURBE). But now! Now – I have one right next to me at the office. Life is grand!
I also heard Steely Dan I.G.Y playing in the grocery store – and it too made me smile.
So there you go – Mercurial Mit – 48 hours.

DevOps strategy in Zuora
Hello All,
I am new to Zuora and currently trying to develop a DevOps strategy for it. I would appreciate if someone can answer following questions.
1. Is there any way to implement version control in Zuora? Either inbuilt or using some external version control software like SVN or github. Idea is that if meta data is changed (field creation for example), can it be recorded/stored somewhere. Different versions of objects.
2. What is the mechanism of moving code/configuration changes from one environment to another? Say someone created 20,30 fields in DEV environment and now all these fields are to be migrated to SIT. Can it be done using some utility? What all meta data can be migrated in this fashion?
Appreciate help from you all.
Thank you!

@sumitbahukhandi, thanks for the question. Right now, Zuora doesn't provide a way to export the system configuration of your tenant. However, this is something we're working on adding this year. When we do, there will be API's to retrieve and set all aspects of the Zuora tenanta configuration, including custom fields, etc. Furthermore, we're working on a tool for configuration change promotion, that would likely be available as a Connect app.

I have a ton of events that are Pittsburgh inspired this weekend. Last night my mom and I had a family bonding moment and went to go see "A Night in Quarantine" the Zombie Opera! We were so stoked to go see the show because it had gotten amazing reviews!
|My mom bought us both devil horns haha
|yay our tickets!
Unfortunately, we had a hard time finding a place that we liked and so we ended up venturing into Dozens bakeshop. While it didnt have the healthiest fair it was really all we could find and we were starving!
|This is the dessert counter : )
I ended up getting a turkey pastry which was very delicious : ) It was very flaky and had stuffing and turkey with cranberries on the inside.
|mmm tastey right?
My mom got Gouda macaroni and cheese and she let me try some.
It was so delicous.. of course you cant go to a bake shop without getting some kind of dessert so I let my mom pick. She picked a peanut butter chewy which was soo good and unfortunately so filling that we couldnt even finish it.
We ventured into the theater and watched one of the funniest shows I have ever seen. The zombie opera was obviously something that the creators put a lot of work into and it was a great combination of live theater and cinematography. I would highly suggest going to see it. THey are actually adding additional shows because they are selling out!
I couldnt snap any pictures inside because they asked us not to so I guess you'll just have to go!
So if you ever wondered what it looks like to have Zombies take over oakland and downtown.. you have to go! Tonight is a girls night out to go to the Marilyn Monroe exhibit at the Andy Warhol Museum.. I cant wait!

BOSTON, Mass. – Scoring the second goal of her career and second in as many games, Ryanne Mix's score in the 13th minute of the first period led the Castleton University women's ice hockey team past the UMass Boston Beacons – 2-1 – on Friday evening at the William T. Barry Ice Rink.
Castleton improved to 6-12-3 overall and 6-4-2 in New England Hockey Conference play, while UMass Boston falls to 9-12-2 and 5-7-2. The Spartan victory earns a split in the season series and snapped a streak of four-straight losses to the Beacons.
Holding a 2-0 lead late in the third period, Castleton earned a power play opportunity and a chance to put the game on ice. Cycling the puck, Mix fired on goal from the right wing, yet the Beacon's Edy Moritz blocked the shot. She recovered the puck, broke away from the Spartans defense and netted a shorthanded score to bring the hosts within one.
During the following three minutes – including 1:11 with an extra attacker – UMass Boston kept the pressure on. Rising through the mess and rampage of shots, Castleton netminder Rylie Wills stood tall in her crease, rejecting each attempt. The senior goalie sent aside 35 shots for a .972 save percentage in 60 minutes of playing time.
Earlier in the contest, Mix put the Spartans on top 1-0. With the Beacons' Julia Nolan going to the penalty box for hooking, Castleton set up its power play in the opposing zone. As her teammate screened the goalie, reigning NEHC Player of the Week Jocelyn Forrest fed Mix, who sent in a laser.
Up 1-0 just a few minutes into the third period, Courtney Gauthier made it 2-0 by turning strong defense into offense. Floating unseen between two Beacon players, the Tampa, Fla. native intercepted a pass and proceeded to beat the UMass Boston goalie for her sixth score of the season.
Women's ice hockey returns to action at 1 p.m. on Saturday as it heads north to Gorham, Maine where it will face the University of Southern Maine Huskies in conference action.

We live generous lives; going out of our way to give of our time, talents and resources in order to build God's Kingdom in practical ways!
Tithing is our foundation of giving.
The Bible teaches us a baseline standard for giving: the tithe. When we give the first 10% of our income to the church, we put God first in our lives. Tithing is an act of worship that expresses our gratitude, faith, and love for others.
At Nipawin Apostolic Church, taking action on your generosity is simple
Just choose your favorite way to give from below
On Location Giving
While you're attending a service or event at The Ap, you can use giving envelopes to make your gift. You can give in person using cash, cheques, or debit/credit cards.
You can always drop off or mail a check to the church office as well
Tithe.ly is the easiest way to give at The Ap. If you would like to make use of this you can give online, on your phone, or from the Tithe.ly app.
You can give a one time gift, schedule gifts and review your giving history.

Our Doctorate degree is an individually tailored, research-based postgraduate program. This is a unique award that someone can pursue in any discipline. It usually involves considerable research effort, either through a thesis or supervised research projects and a thesis. It is equivalent to Level 8 based on the UK Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) as well as the European Qualifications Framework (EQF).
In order to receive our Doctorate degree, one must fulfil the entry requirements – general education, a Bachelor degree (UK RQF / EQF Level 6) and a Master Degree (UK RQF / EQF Level 7) or a Bachelor Degree (UK RQF Level 6) plus substantial professional or research experience of at least 5 years of any recognised academic institution worldwide. Our institution adds two additional requirements: a demanding program of research study proposed by the student and approved by our Institution and independent research, culminating in the production of a postgraduate thesis and possibly, additional supervised research projects of smaller extend. Publication(s) of the thesis research results in recognised (indexed) academic journals will be taken into consideration, especially if they are related to the discipline and the subjects of the research projects and/or the thesis.
During the Doctorate program, the student determines the area of study and programme of work with a supervisor and will be provided with appropriate research training to enable her/him to complete the programme of research. This will culminate in the preparation of a thesis which is submitted for assessment by internal and external examiners, together with an oral examination.
The research program should be specific and have depth and focus. Often, this is achieved through double supervision between schools / institutions. To complete the thesis goals, students identify and work closely with at least one faculty member, to design and implement a research project related to their academic discipline and write a thesis related to that research. They then defend their thesis during a faculty examination committee meeting that include visiting external examiners from other institutions.
Usual registration period for the new route to our Advanced Doctorate degree, is 24-36 months of full time study, depending on the previous credentials of the applicant.
Normal Duration: 6 semesters
Tuition fees: 16.750 euros per semester (special conditions apply depending on the needs of resources of each separate candidate).

UNC Charlotte's Ann Loraine, PhD, and Research Technician Ivory Clabaugh have achieved something uncommon. They have found a way to grow rice indoors in an NCRC growth room. Their rice research is just one of four programs on campus where scientists are working to improve the nutritional value of grains and maximize their potential to prevent diseases like diabetes and cancer.
More Productive Rice, Healthier Oats
Loraine is part of the UNC Charlotte Department of Genetics and Bioinformatics. She is co-investigator on a $3.5 million National Science Foundation grant with scientists from UNC Chapel Hill and Dartmouth College. They are studying plant hormones called cytokinins. Cytokinins are involved in cell growth and differentiation of cells primarily in the roots and shoots of plants. Loraine's lab is identifying the genes that are critical to productivity and yield in rice, which is important because, as the International Rice Research Institute reports, the grain feeds "half of the world's seven billion people."
General Mills, the producer of Cheerios and one of the largest users and handlers of oats in North America, is mapping the oat genome as part of a global consortium of companies and academic researchers. One of General Mills' goals is to use natural and traditional breeding methods to develop oats with higher and more consistent levels of beta-glucan, which is the soluble fiber that is clinically proven to reduce cholesterol and lessen the risk of stroke and heart disease.The David H. Murdock Research Institute and the UNC Charlotte Bioinformatics Service Division, both at the NCRC, are also part of the effort.

Friday, April 27 was the Disney themed school dance! The dance was held in the lunch room, which was decorated by our impressive student council. There was also a costume competition. People had amazing costumes including Rapunzel, Bell, a Wizard, Queen Guinevere, and even some interesting background characters! It was well attended and everyone looked like they were having fun. There were plenty of beautiful decorations like silhouettes of Disney characters. The music ranged from Disney music to the Cupid Shuffle.
Pepper the Guinea Pig came into Mr. Madsen's class today for the second time, surprising many students. As the classes continued on, students looked at her with adoration. All of the students from fifth period to seventh period had seen and petted her before, so this was a first for the first four periods of students. Mr. Madsen held and petted her often, and she is simply adorable according to most students.
This last weekend, on April 20 and 21, members of our school's National Junior Honor Society joined together to help with a BSA Eagle Project. The Eagle Project was for Caleb Pollock, a student at our school. The project began with clearing rocks from the school's field. Shortly afterward, the volunteers helped to clear rocks off the retaining walls on the east side of the school. The next morning, the rocks were completely removed and the volunteers helped to spread mulch where the rocks had been. The area is now much safer without rocks falling from the walls, and it looks better too.
In Mr. Madsen's and Mr. Whiting's science classes, the students had a great learning experience. They headed outside to a timeline in the track field to observe and learn about the Earth. Students learned about the Earth over time, and they learned about the geologic and biologic points of it. There were multiple stations to learn about. For example, the Precambrian, Phanerozoic, Cenozoic, and Quaternary periods.
Last week, Mr. Gibson's art class had a final project for their term on the watercolor technique. They were given one week to create a project on watercolor paper that was uniquely their own. Some of the projects featured flowers, cactuses, dancers etc. Each one was made with compassion and style of their very own.
Animal Science classes got to learn about the importance of therapy animals. Mini horses can be therapy animals with lots and lots of training. Ever After Mini's brought two of their therapy horses to class today. Students learned about care and training of a therapy horse, they learned about horse behavior and benefits of a therapy animal. Horses are for people with memory loss. Often times people make connections with them if they have ever owned a horse before.
Mrs. Brockbank's class was assigned to make a project that represented a book that they liked. Some of the ideas for projects consisted of comic strips, stories, a coat of arms, and more. These projects were meant to represent either the main characters in a book, or something like a big event that happened in a book, or just to give a short summary to get people hooked on a good book. The projects were a lot of fun and everyone enjoyed being creative and working on a fun project.

Dorothea Lange
American (1895-1965)
Biography | Bibliography
Lange is best known for her documentary photographs, particularly of the Depression in 1930s America. Encouraged by Arnold Genthe to become a photographer, she studied in New York City with Clarence H. White at Columbia University, and in 1919 opened a portrait studio in San Francisco.
By the 1930s, however, she had become dissatisfied with the limitations of commercial portraiture, and she started to photograph on San Francisco streets. Drawn to the poor and the unemployed, who were suffering from the collapse of the nation's economy, she began to notice and photograph how people's lives and feelings were translated into body gesture.
As a result of her street work she was hired by Paul S. Taylor to photograph migratory workers for the California State Emergency Relief Administration. In 1935 she went to work for the U.S. Resettlement Administration (later renamed the Farm Security Administration) and produced photographs in every part of the country except New England. Lange was sensitive to the words people used as well as to their gestures and she recorded the comments of her subjects, particularly the migrants. Later, in An American Exodus, these quotes were innovatively combined with the pictures.
Lange's work from the 1930's and after is characterized by empathy for her subjects and by her desire to photograph them exactly as she saw them. On her darkroom door she posted the following statement by Francis Bacon: "The contemplation of things as they are / Without error or confusion / Without substitution or imposture / Is in itself a nobler thing / Than a whole harvest of invention." 1

Brief UU History
Brief History of Unitarian Universalism
The Unitarian Universalism denomination was formed by the merging of the Unitarian and Universalist churches in 1961.
Both churches were founded in Europe but prospered in the United States. The Universalist Church of America was founded in 1793, the American Unitarian Association in 1825.
Unitarians originally considered themselves to be Christian but did not accept the doctrine of the Holy Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Ghost as three separate beings in a single God). Instead, they believed in the unity of God.
Eventually, Unitarians came to emphasize the humanity, not divinity, of Jesus and were influenced by a variety of philosophies from transcendentalism to humanism. The church has long been active in a variety of social justice causes — including peace, poverty, education reform, prison reform, children's welfare, and more recently, gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender equality.
Well-known Unitarians include Susan B. Anthony, Presidents John Adams and John Quincy Adams, author Louisa May Alcott, poet Ralph Waldo Emerson, Paul Revere, President William Howard Taft, and architect Frank Lloyd Wright.
Universalists were Christians who did not believe that a loving God would damn anyone to hell for eternity; they believed that eventually everyone would be reconciled with God. The Universalist belief in love and inclusion gained popularity in the American culture of religious freedom, but many Universalist churches were destroyed and ministers killed during the Civil War. In addition, as other denominations adopted a "softer" approach to damnation, Universalism lost some of its uniqueness.
Early well-known Universalists include newspaper editor Horace Greeley; American Red Cross founder Clara Barton; physician, humanitarian and signer of the Declaration of Independence Benjamin Rush; and George Pullman, industrialist and inventor of the Pullman railroad sleeping car.
By the mid-20th century, Unitarians and Universalists had steadily grown closer in their beliefs and decided to form a new denomination.

Lufthansa Shares Fall After Profit Warning
Shares Down Over 12% as Airline Lowers Its Expectations
FRANKFURT— Deutsche Lufthansa AG DLAKY 1.14% on Wednesday warned that profit would be as much as 33% lower than forecast this year, due to labor union strikes, adverse currency effects, and unexpectedly weak revenue growth in its passenger and cargo businesses.
The warning prompted Lufthansa shares to drop 14%, clipping the stock's 34% rise since the start of the year. It also dragged the Stoxx 600 Travel & Leisure index lower and hit shares of rivals International Consolidated Airlines Group SA and Air France-KLM SA . Investors worried that other European airlines would need to take similar measures to handle rising competition.
Lufthansa said it now expects to report an operating profit of about €1 billion ($1.35 billion) for 2014, or roughly €1.3 billion after adjusting for one-off effects. It had previously forecast an operating profit of €1.3 billion to €1.5 billion, with adjusted operating profit at €1.7 billion to €1.9 billion. The airline also cut its profit figure for 2015.
The airline warned last month about increasing risks to its earnings forecast when it reported first-quarter results but kept guidance steady at the time.
"The revenue risks mentioned when we presented the quarterly figures in early May have unfortunately materialized," Chief Financial Officer Simone Menne said.
The European airlines sector has been battling high fuel bills and slack growth in the region along with intense competition on regional and intercontinental routes.
European airlines' attempts to boost its seating capacity faster than European economic growth has faced challenges and its marketing efforts haven't yet succeeded in selling all the capacity, said RBC Capital Markets analyst Damian Brewer.
Air France-KLM last week announced plans for a new round of efficiency measures to replace a broad cost-cutting plan that slashed jobs and froze pay.
The German flag carrier said intense competition from Persian Gulf carriers is hurting its U.S. and European business and leading to falling prices on these routes. That pressure prompted it to reduce capacities in winter.
Lufthansa's earnings have also been hit by €60 million due to the devaluation of the Venezuelan Bolivar.
"Strong capacity growth by state-owned Gulf carriers was a major concern," Ms. Menne said, adding that they are advancing ever further into the European market, in part through investments in European airlines.
Qatar Airways recently joined the Oneworld alliance under sponsorship by International Consolidated Airlines Group, parent of British Airways, while Etihad Airways has signed a revenue-sharing accord with Air France-KLM and bought stakes in smaller European carriers.
Lufthansa now plans to aggressively implement further structural measures to boost its competitiveness.
"We are achieving a sustainable reduction of our unit costs and now aim to stabilize the revenue trends, in order to counteract an ever intensifying competitive situation," Ms. Menne said.
In 2012, Lufthansa embarked on an intensive restructuring program, dubbed Score, through which it has eliminated and outsourced thousands of jobs and pledged to slash operating costs by €1.5 billion by 2015. It also aimed to revamp its fleet without accruing excessive debt.
Chief Executive Carsten Spohr, who took over the position on May 1, plans to update Score plans on July 10.
Over the past two years Lufthansa staff have opposed the restructuring measures and staged strikes. A pilots strike this year cost the company €60 million, it said.
The company also said Wednesday that it no longer expects to achieve its 2015 operating profit target of €2.65 billion. It now expects 2015 operating profit of about €2 billion.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Michael Hervey, the embattled chief executive officer of the Long Island Power Authority, has resigned, according to a statement issued on Tuesday by Chairman Howard Steinberg.
Hervey's resignation comes on the same day that New York Governor Andrew Cuomo launched an investigation by a special commission into the state's utilities and their response to Superstorm Sandy.
More than two weeks after the storm struck the region, about 45,000 LIPA customers still have no electricity.

I have wandered the hills and valleys of Ireland, driven along its rocky coasts and roamed the quiet midlands. In my travels, I have stopped to explore every monument of stone and ruined churchyard to be found along my path, often altering that path considerably in the hope of encountering some new mystery to explore.
Along the way, I have taken several thousands of pictures.
While I am careful that the photography not intrude upon my more visceral experience of a place, I strive to document each location to the best of my ability. The photos are touchstones, reminders of places I fear I may never see again. And in that spirit I try to be as thorough and faithful to the place and time as possible.
I was therefore, quite surprised to learn, as I went scanning through my photos just the other day, that my collection suffered from a curious absence of saints.
Saint Patrick, in particular, was nowhere to be found.
I only went looking because I noticed that my next blog post, the one you are reading now, was due to publish on March 17th, and it occurred to me that I really should write something about St. Patrick's Day.
Not feeling particularly motivated, I thought I would dig up some of the photos I'd taken of his various statues in Ireland, and use those for inspiration.
Click…click…click…scroll…scroll…scroll…, nothing!
I sat back from my screen, perplexed. That couldn't be right. I mean, I know for a fact that there is a statue of St. Patrick standing near the entrance to the Hill of Tara. I'd photographed every inch of that ancient seat of kings, as well as the little churchyard that sits next to it, during my first visit in 2005. I remembered walking past that stark white statue with the little metal fence around it, not once, but twice!
And so I checked again: hills, grass, tower, graves, passage tomb, sheep, standing stone, circling ravens…, no statue.
Okay, so then where else? I searched my memory for other encounters with Ireland's patron saint…, a-ha! there was Saint Patrick's Cross which stands among the mighty ruins on the Rock of Cashel in County Tipperary. Surely I had a photo of that, and even if it's not really a statue, it would give me something to work with…,
Scroll…scroll…scroll…, nothing.
"How," I wondered aloud to myself, "can this be."
I tried to think back to all the other cathedrals, graveyards and ruins that I have visited. Surely there had to be…, I know that one had a statue…, Maybe there was a plaque…,
There are no monuments to Saint Patrick, no statues or shrines, recorded anywhere in my camera-rolls. And I think the reason for this must be because I just don't see him.
I've heard his story again and again, since childhood, but it has never really made any lasting impression upon me.
I was taught that I should like St. Patrick because he was 'the' Irish saint.
But was he, really?
There is nothing in the mythology surrounding Pádraig that touches me or even rings true to my ears.
I have tried to see the young man, captured, bound and sold into slavery, only to give himself over to Christianity and escape his captors, led across the wilds of Ireland and back to the sea by a mysterious voice. Yet it seems as if I have heard that story before, attached to other names and places.
And then there is the great teacher, who is said to have stood upon the Hill of Tara among both the greatest kings and wisest Druids of that land, and explained to them the mystery of the Christian Trinity through the example of the wild shamrock which grew unnoticed underfoot. Strange, that they should be so easily won over, these wise men, when triplicate gods and goddesses were already known throughout the land, and the shamrock already known for both its symbolic and medicinal qualities.
Then, of course, there is the mighty "warrior for god" who appears in the later tales. No meek teacher this Patrick, he duels his enemies with holy magic, tossing them into the air like some midichlorian pumped Jedi Knight.
Let's not even mention the thing with the snakes.
Over the years I have seen him first as a saint, then as a villain, and now he hardly seems important at all. From what little we truly do know of him, it seems clear that almost nothing which has been believed about him is true.
So why then, should we celebrate the anniversary of his death (if indeed we even have that detail correct)?
More than once, I have been told that celebrating Patrick's Holy Day is an important part of my Irish heritage, and that, as a grandchild of the diaspora, I should do whatever I can to maintain those cultural links with my distant kin.
How much honor do I bring to my ancestors by pretending to celebrate a Catholic feast day? None, I think.
The truth is, I don't need Saint Patrick, whoever he was, to help me celebrate my Irish heritage. I do that every day.
I think I'll get by just fine without the silly parades and the mass inebriation, which have become the American standard in holiday celebrations.
Yeah, I'll wear the green – but I do that once a week (at least) anyway. I like green.
And you can be sure that I'll raise a glass, to you and to yours, and to bridging the miles that lie between myself and the one place I've ever known that truly feels like home.

Any big fan of Pedro Almodóvar can respect the absolutely expansive, colorful scope of his work, and now the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is honoring the Spanish Oscar-winning filmmaker with a retrospective Dec. 13 in London.
Friends, family and others including Agustín Almodóvar, Stephen Frears, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Alberto Iglesias, Peter Morgan, and Sally Potter will be in attendance at the Curzon Soho Cinema invitation-only event, "An Academy Tribute to Pedro Almodóvar," announced the Academy on Tuesday.
Almodóvar has always filled his movies with drama, vibrant backdrops, deep emotion and intensely strong women characters, from 1988's feisty Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown to 2006's Volver, starring Penelope Cruz, to last year's The Skin I Live In (in that case, a man physically altered into being a woman). He won the best original screenplay Oscar in 2003 for the comedic drama Talk to Her.

This was a first attempt at trying to create something new (for me). Not all the joints line up perfectly and I would select woods that contrast more the next time, but I thought I'd post it anyway.
The base is Jarrah and the body is Zebrawood and Canarywood.

Headsnack is a positive-minded producer, composer, lyricist and DJ who specializes in hip-hop and electronic beat making. Hailing from metro New York, he is a strong supporter of artists who push the envelope by not adhering to rules or genres. This comes through in his song production, which mixes elements of hip-hop, rock, funk, jazz, and electronica, and which is a product of his love of all forms of music, from classical to country and everything in between.
As a lyricist, Headsnack believes that artists need to use their voices to educate people, and he demonstrates that through his satirical writing style. He has been said to have his finger on the zeitgeist, as the topics of his most recent songs reveal. Internet privacy, consumerism, and factory farming have all felt Headsnack's wrath and, he has proven that no subject is taboo. His style is laced with double entendres and punchlines that remind the listener of the pitfalls of technology and public policy while reinforcing that they shouldn't take themselves or their lives too seriously.
Headsnack's music has been licensed to The Independent Film Channel, Guitar Center, DJ Lord (of Public Enemy), Eventide Audio, Graffiti Verite, Kaiju Big Battle, Lickwood Labs Adult Films, and Slamjamz Records, and has been selected by super-producer Just Blaze (Jay-Z, Kanye West) to appear on the nationally-released compilation albums Fresh Cuts: Volumes 3 and 10. It can also be found on such sites and applications as Spotify, iTunes, Soundcloud, YouTube, iStandardProducers, ReverbNation, and Rhapsody.
Headsnack is proud of having performed as an opening act for such notable artists as Public Enemy, DJ/producer Prince Paul (De La Soul, Stetsasonic, Handsome Boy Modeling School), Mixmaster Mike (Beastie Boys), Dilated Peoples, Blackalicious, The Sound of Urchin, and many of the finest groups of the NYC underground.
Recording and performing under the moniker Phon-X, Headsnack is/was a founding member of the seminal underground hip-hop group, Regenerated Headpiece (RHP). Between the years 2001 and 2009, Regenerated Headpiece released three critically-acclaimed, full-length albums and played more than 100 dates. RHP's unique music captured worldwide attention, garnering reviews and interviews in five languages. It also caught the ear of author Robert Lanham, who listed Regenerated Headpiece as a "Newer Band Kicking Some Ass This Decade" in his 2002 bestseller, The Hipster Handbook, alongside rising superstars EL-P (Run The Jewels), The White Stripes, and Ryan Adams. They've also had Chuck D of Public Enemy appear on two of their tracks, and were praised by the self-proclaimed "Dean of American Rock Critics," Robert Christgau (Village Voice) in his 2009 consumer guide.
Since transitioning away from RHP to focus more on solo projects, Headsnack has created some viral YouTube videos which have garnered over 100,000 views.

Chili con Carne is a popular food for parties. It's easy to prepare and feeds a lot of people without lots of effort. I like the vegan version a lot, it's healthy and tastes amazing 🙂 In this recipe, I used Quinoa, which is one of my staple foods, so: Chili con Quinoa!
Quinoa is a gluten-free and well-known plant from the Andean mountains. It has all the essential amino acids and contains (amongst others) B-Vitamins, magnesium, zinc, and iron. It's a super healthy food and a great way to expand your meal plan.
This time I added some sweet potato chips for an extra crunch (I used this recipe by minimalistbaker) 🙂
I wish you an amazing rest of your day and enjoy the recipe! Do you also like Quinoa?
Chili con Quinoa
30 Minutes 3 Servings
Printable: Chili con Quinoa
- 1 red onion, cut into small pieces
- 1-2 garlic cloves, cut into small pieces

Soft reset can resolve issues like continuous resetting/rebooting, device crashing, freezing, won't ring or vibrate, can't make or receive calls, device locks up, and keypad doesn't respond.
A soft reset (turning the device off then back on) is similar to restarting a desktop computer and is one of the first steps in troubleshooting a device. A soft reset won't affect data on the device.

Four Cycles IS Planning Method Tool #11: Analysis of Contingencies
An analysis of contingencies is a tool to evaluate the surrounding variables in an organization with the goal to make the subsequent decision better fit the context. In the case of the Four Cycles planning method, the contingencies can be analyzed during the first planning cycle to serve as a background in the next cycles.
For the set-up of the planning approach, the analysis of contingencies is a tool which help to assess the current state and role of IT in the organization, which is particularly useful during the first time through the cycle and when significant changes in the IS Strategy are made during previous iterations of the method.
In the field of IS strategy planning, three variables are especially important to analyze to ensure a planning which fits the organizations current state: (1) the present IT infrastructure and it's successes and failures; (2) the stage of adoption and management of IT and (3) the role IS strategy plays on the organizational level.
It can be quite difficult to get a good overview of the current IT infrastructure, since this phase of the planning cycles doesn't lend itself for too much detail. A good approach is to make a general overview of the infrastructure and analyze what is successful and what is not. This lends itself to the iterative character of the four cycles planning method. However, objective analysis of the succes and failure of IT projects and systems is very difficult and time consuming. Therefore, I suggest to make-up a top-and- flop list op projects and systems recently developed. This will allow for a quick starting point of succesful and unsuccesful practices in the organization.
For the assessment how far IT is adopted into all levels of the organization, not only on the operational level, but certainly on management levels as well, different maturity models can be used. A quick questionnaire can be used to find out what the level is in a generic technology adoption model.
The role IT and IS strategy has in organizations differs a great deal. In some organizations, IT fills a strictly supporting role to the main operational departments. It is only used to execute the main business process in an effective and efficient manner. In others, IT innovations and possibilities are an important driver of overall business strategy. The scope and objective of the information strategy is heavily dependent on the role it should play in the overall business strategy. One of the easiest tools to find out what role IT plays in the organization, is the model of strategic alignment by Henderson & Venkatraman.
The final remark I'd like to make is that since every situation is different and that because of this, there can be other contingency variables which play an important role. Therefore, don't be blindsighted by the 3 presented above.

The use of metaphor as a tool to uncover people's ideas, attitudes, and values through analysis of discourse is demonstrated and illustrated with data collected in a social science research project. A 'discourse dynamics' approach to metaphor situated within a complexity/dynamic systems perspective is developed. This approach is turned into a method of 'metaphor-led discourse analysis' which is described in detail, using a focus group discussion to illustrate the procedure: transcription, metaphor identification, coding metaphors and using software, and finding patterns of metaphor use from coded data. The reasoning that justifies decisions at each stage of the procedure is made explicit so that the trustworthiness of the method can be maximized. The method of metaphor-led discourse analysis has been developed through a series of empirical projects to be accessible and relevant to social science researchers as well as to metaphor scholars.

According to Brown (2008, p. 9) there are four main reasons for silence during the normal Sunday liturgy…
Here is an example of what to do if you want to use the exact words of an author:
Unfortunately some liturgy committees seem to fear silence. Silence is an essential aspect of liturgical prayer. However, it is poorly understood. It is not a time for those present to engage in private devotion un-distracted by the liturgical action. Rather silence enables the gathered community to be brought more completely into the mystery of Christ's presence. (Brown, 1998, p. 89)
Note that, because it is a long quote (more than three lines), it is indented, does not have quotations marks and ends with a full stop followed by the bracketed details.
For a short quote, you use quotation marks around the actual quote and include it as you would a paraphrase. For example: Brown (2008) argues that 'silence is essential for full engagement in any liturgy' (p. 35).
Note that you put the page number at the end of the quote in brackets and that the full stop comes after the bracketed number.
The bibliography at the end of your Module Book has examples of full publication details. For example:

Finally, a flexible, quick, and easy-to-use calendar for the rest of us!
The built-in Calendar app is a great multi-function appointment calendar, but it is way too much and way too complicated if you just want to mark a day as "special". And if you want to mark a series of days as special, Calendar becomes painful to use. xoCal lets you effortlessly mark any day, or even a series of days, as important without struggling with an endless parade of screens, fiddling with on-screen keyboards, or tapping buttons one after another.
You can mark any special day with just ONE tap with xoCal! If you want to "circle the day" as extra special, then just double-tap on the day. And if you want to mark several days in a row, just sweep your fingertip across those days. That's it! No other screens, no keyboards, no buttons, and no pain!
And to make xoCal even more useful, you can pick six colors for the Xs and Os and assign each color your own special meaning (e.g. green for holidays, blue for sick days, purple for massage appointments, etc.).
xoCal is amazing for keeping track of your work schedule or those "special" days. You can use xoCal to make sure you do something every day or note the days that you don't intend to do anything (e.g. vacations, days off, etc.). You can decide what days are important to you, how you mark them, and what color they are to note anything with xoCal.
COMMENT ABOUT REVIEWS: xoCal has been purchased by thousands of happy and satisfied users. We also very much appreciate user suggestions for future enhancements to xoCal. However, regarding loss of marks and unreliability in several of the reviews, there has NOT been even one support email reporting loss of calendar marks nor have we found any evidence of unreliability in our testing. If there truly was a reproducible bug or problem, we would correct it, and issue an update immediately. So, we would ask any customer that experiences a reproducible problem that they contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
– Tap a day to mark it with an "X"
– Tap a marked day to remove the "X"
– Double-tap a day to "circle the day"
– Double-tap any circled day to remove the circle
– Swipe right on the calendar to mark a series of days with an "X"
– Swipe left on the calendar to remove even one, or a series of marks OR circles
– Swipe up on the calendar to flip to the next month
– Swipe down on the calendar to flip to the previous month
– Swipe quickly, or slowly, right or left on the calendar header to quickly, or slowly, change months
– Swipe right or left on the daily information footer to change the mark color and your legend for the next Xs and Os
– Double-tap on the footer to return to the current day
– Tap on the padlock icon in the upper left corner to lock xoCal to prevent changes, and tap the icon again to unlock xoCal
– Tap on the information "i" icon in the upper right corner to edit your legends for the xoCal colors
Note: Only one X and one O can be marked for any date (e.g. there cannot be a blue X and a red X for the same date, but there can be a blue X and a red O for that date).

Hulu has proved itself to be one of the most sought out destinations for free TV shows online in US. Free episodes of popular TV shows like Glee, Lost, The Office etc are all available on Hulu in very high quality.
But access to Hulu is limited to viewers from the United States and even those can only view the tv shows online and not offline. To make matters worse Hulu is using encryption to protect the tv streams so that standard downloaders like Orbit Downloader and TubeMaster++ do not function at all. Tools like Hulu Video Downloader which used to do a robust job have disappeared now (for obvious reasons).
Luckily, StreamTransport provides the same functionality, i.e downloading Hulu videos and TV shows for offline viewing and that too in high quality! Not just encrypted media sites like Hulu, StreamTransport can download media from video sharing sites like Youtube and Veoh.
It can browse and download media from sites using HTTP, RTMP, RTMPT, RTMPE, and RTMPTE protocols, which covers most video and media sharing sites. The downloaded files are FLV formatted, which can be played using VLC Media Player or converting for other platforms.
Stream Transport includes a basic web browser that can be used to open video portals like Hulu in its interface. It will automatically recognize a tv show stream when one is opened and played in the web browser. The streams that are discovered are displayed at the bottom of the interface.
Note: As Lifehacker points out, don't expect Stream transport to work forever. Once it gets popular Hulu will surely change their encryption, forcing StreamTransport to update themselves. For now, it works like a charm.

Indexers, authors and abstracters inevitably make mistakes. Whenever
possible, look at original wills, deeds, birth certificates and other
documents, or copies of them on microfilm.
Read documents with caution:
You will see old-fashioned terminology, handwriting, spelling and
grammar. There are tools to help you decipher old documents.
Beware the common pitfalls of research:
Think of ways your surname could be misspelled, then search under those
spellings. Remember that boundaries and names of counties sometimes change.
In recalling where they lived years ago, relatives may name the nearest big
city rather than the actual locale, or say the name of the county seat when
they mean to name the county. Study the ways various documents are
organized before you try to use them.
Keep careful records:

and dates of your sources.

No single collection will hold every document that you need. Likewise,
no single source will answer all your questions. You will eventually use
most of the tools of the genealogist: census records, deeds, county
histories, wills, death certificates, etc.
Please keep in mind that the library staff members are not genealogists. They can help you locate the published materials in the library, or suggest other sources, but they cannot do the research for you. If you need further assistance the library staff can refer you to a professional genealogist who will help you for a fee.

Without uniformity of discipline, military bodies would be incapable of action: without a general controlling power to call forth the strength of the union, to repel invasions, the country might be over-run, and conquered by foreign enemies. Without such a power to suppress insurrections, our liberties might be destroyed by domestic faction, and domestic tyranny be established.
