The good news, graduates, is that you are finishing school in a country with a strong economy, consistently rated one of the best in the world to live in. But the bad news is that the world my generation is passing on to you is broken.
Youth unemployment everywhere is high and many refer to the "jobless recovery" - an oxymoron if ever there was one. The global economy and financial services industry, governments, health care, the media and our institutions for solving global problems like the UN are all struggling. Our energy and transportation systems are spewing enough carbon to threaten our biosphere.
Leaders of institutions everywhere have lost trust. A sovereign debt crisis threatens to bring down countries like Greece and Spain, and with them the currency and economy of Europe. In your lifetime, China and India will surpass the United States in GDP.
The world is too unequal, unstable and unsustainable. At this year's annual World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, Switzerland, former U.S. president Bill Clinton gave evidence that if we have reduced carbon emissions by 80 per cent in the year 2050, it will still take 1,000 years for the world to cool down. And during this period, bad things are likely to happen - such as 1.5 billion people losing more than half their water supply.
Your generation will need to turn this situation around - to reboot the world - and each of you will have a role to play. You will need to advocate change in your workplace, community, country and in the causes you join. And you will need to teach your children well.
I am enormously hopeful about the future. The reason? You.
Your generation has unprecedented power, intelligence and tools. I've studied it for the last 15 years and I am very optimistic you are up to the challenge.
You are the biggest generation ever. There are more of you than there are baby boomers, and in demographics, size matters.
You are also the smartest generation ever, as evidenced by all-time-high test scores and extraordinary university graduation rates. Some have said you are the narcissistic Generation Me obsessed with YouTube, Twitter and Facebook. But facts don't support this assertion. You care. Youth volunteering in high school and university is higher than ever.
As a generation, you have strong values. You believe in fairness, justice, freedom and protecting our biosphere. More than other generation, you favour diversity. You view racist and sexist behaviour as both weird and unacceptable.
You are also the first generation to come of age surrounded by digital technologies. This gives you a global orientation, unprecedented access to knowledge and a collaborative spirit. Rather than just watching TV, as my generation did, you have grown up digital, interacting, searching, authenticating, remembering, collaborating, composing your thoughts, organizing information. Rather than being the passive recipients of media, you are a generation of initiators.
You can use Web-based tools to make the world more prosperous, just and sustainable. A good thing, because this is a time of old versus new, atrophy versus renewal, stagnation versus renaissance.
In your first job, you will care more about opportunities to learn, do interesting things and have fulfilling work and relationships than about how much money you make. You can be the generation to put the Dilbert cartoons out of business.
If you become a teacher, you won't be buried in a single school - you will be able to collaborate with peers across the country. Your students will have access to virtually all recorded knowledge and expertise and they'll want you to curate a custom learning experience for them.
As a business manager, you'll be working in corporate architectures dramatically different from those of the 20th century - ones that emphasize teamwork rather than hierarchy. If you become an executive, you will lead in the rethinking of the purpose of the corporation - beyond shareholder profit to creating value for all its stakeholders.
You are also the first generation of global citizens. With the flick of a switch, you can join 100 million others on activist networks like Facebook Causes. You have already shown your power and determination, raising support for Haitian people, protesting oppression in Iran and speaking out against censorship in China.
If the financial system meltdown shows us anything, it is that we live in a tightly woven world. In an age where everything and everyone is linked through networks of glass and air, no business, organization, government agency, country or society is an island. And one thing is for sure - no organization can succeed in a world that is failing.
Fixing the mess my generation has created will be challenging, exhilarating and sometimes agonizing. But the stakes are high.
Five hundred years ago, Martin Luther called the printing press "God's highest act of grace." With today's communications revolution, your generation has been bestowed with a second great act of grace. You have a historic occasion to rebuild business and the world. Because each of you can participate in this new renaissance, it is surely an amazing time to graduate and to be alive.
I hope you will have the wisdom and the will to seize the time.
From a convocation address given to students at McMaster University in Hamilton last week. Don Tapscott is author of Macrowikinomics: Rebooting Business and the World (with Anthony D. Williams).

I had the incredible opportunity to attend the most beautiful Mass I have ever witnessed last night.
Yesterday at 7 am, an ambitious group of 7 young people from this city piled into 2 cars and drove to St. John Cantius in Chicago, for their annual All Souls Extraordinary Form Requiem Mass, with Mozart's Requiem.
We made great time and arrived around 10:15am their time. A friend of mine who is in the Canons Regular (Brother R) obtained permission to spend some of the day with us, which was delightful. First he showed us around the church, then we heard the Canons chant mid-day prayer, following that one of the brothers played a short but neat piece on the organ for us. Then Brother R took us in their van for a little tour of Chicago.
First we stopped at a little cafe for a much-need lunch, then we went to three different churches all very nearby and all very neat. Mary of the Angels, St. Stan's, and Holy Trinity. Then Brother R drove us downtown, pointed out some of the big sights, and then dropped us off. Half of us went to the art museum, and the other half had their own adventures which they can tell you about. After eating some deep dish pizza, my group headed back via subway to the church, arriving a nice half an hour before the Mass began, in a quickly filling up church.
The moment the Mass began, my heart swelled with indescribable emotion. Having heard the opening bars of Mozart's Requiem so many times; for this one more time to then turn and witness the beautiful procession with the reverent altar servers solemnly carrying the cross and candles, followed by the deacon and subdeacon and priest, all dressed in beautiful, gilded vestments appropriate for the most sacred event on earth, I thought, "how appropriate. after all the times I've just been staring at a choir... Of course there ought to be a procession for this music!"
The Mass continued on, and I enjoyed every moment of it (although I was informed later by the MC that there were many flukes--I was not aware of anything not going perfectly!) Quickly into the service the familiar "Dies Irae" sequence was sung, the primary chunk of Mozart's Requiem. We sat and listened to a good 20 minutes of some of my favorite pieces of music, like the "Lacrymosa." We sat and listened, and prayed, and meditated, and our thoughts were carried to heaven through the experience of all our senses of things that are distinctly sacred. (for those who joke about "smells and bells," they don't know what they're missing--when your whole person is experiencing so many beautiful things!) Throughout the Mass, although of course I know intellectually where (for example) the "Offertory" is supposed to "go," it was absoloutely fascinating to witness the appropriate actions occuring with the music.
After a good 25 minute homily, (I was happy-I had heard he might preach up to 40 minutes!) Mass continued with fitting reverence and solemnity rarely seen elsewhere.
Following Communion, I was once more indescribably affected at the very end. I didn't think I had ever heard Barber's Adagio, which was played at the very end as the priest and servers processed back down the aisle. A very fitting anti-"closing hymn!" (If I die soon, make sure that's the "closing hymn" for my funeral!) While listening to those beautiful closing notes of the string instruments, we prayed for bit.
After saying our goodbyes and thanks to Brother R for taking time out of busy day for us, we departed right around 10pm (their time,) and arrived back at 3 am.
I can't wait til next year!

Early 3D Adopters: Who's Doing 3D Printing?
Hudson Printing opted for a 3D Systems CubeX Duo 3D printer.
The CubeX Duo is a two-color machine that offers a resolution of 125 microns and a build area of 10x10˝.
Burke Jones, owner of The UPS Store-Kearny Mesa franchise in San Diego, installed a Stratasys uPrint last August as part of a nationwide test run.
3D printing and design capabilities have lead to Jones' shop garnering more traditional printing clients and vice versa.
Braintree Printing's Jim Corliss feels the $30,000+ price tag of his Stratasys Dimension 1200e creates a barrier to entry for potential competitors.

Ferncliff Cemetery Website
Ferncliff Cemetery is a non-sectarian cemetery located in Westchester County, New York, serving families throughout greater New York with dignity and respect since 1902. In 2010, a client of mine who is a consultant of theirs engaged me to redesign and rebuild their original site in the first of two phases. That rebuild was launched in 2011.
Phase 2 came in the fall of 2014. The site needed a new, modern, mobile friendly look and needed to more clearly describe and showcase Ferncliff's various memorilization options.

T hink about this… I say the best way to get to Europe is through the "gateway" of Istanbul, a city in both Europe and Asia.
I stanbul is a magical marriage of ancient culture and modern style, spectacular cuisine and the bounty of many seas which provide an extraordinary array of fish species and coastal resort areas.
My decision was first influenced by a conversation with a friend at the Cannes film festival last year. The well-travelled film critic bon vivant Phillip Bergson insisted that I change my return flight from France to San Francisco to go through Istanbul with Turkish Airlines. I did so and must say, the route, especially the opportunity to see the remarkable Business Class Lounge, was a revelation.
So this winter I decided to further explore the Turkish Airline experience and booked a flight to Berlin via Istanbul.
A Turkish Airlines Flight is like A Bed & B'fast In the Air, plus Cuisine that reaches for the Stars (Michelin that is)
Turkish Airlines has recently added direct flights to Istanbul from San Francisco and their business service is garnering praise and awards including Skytrax's Best Airline in Europe and the World's Best Business Class Lounge.
Once you step foot into the plane you enter into another world.
F rom the moment you board the aircraft in San Francisco, you realize you have entered another world… a special place that will foretell a cultural adventure.
Turkish Air is setting a high bar for service, style and elegance, all with a flair.

I think i need professional help for depression, but im to scared to tell anyone?
A: There is no stigma to getting help for depression. Please call your doctor right away and make an appointment. If this were a physical problem you would not hesitate to seek treatment and really depression is a physical problem; it is just a problem in the brain not the body. I have been on anti-depressants for several years and my life is so much better now. IF YOU FEEL THAT YOU ARE SUFFERING FROM DEPRESSION IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO TAKE THE FIRST STEP AND DISCUSS YOUR FEELINGS WITH YOUR PARENTS THEY ARE THEIR TO help AND SUPPORT YOUR MENTAL AND PHYSICAL WELL BEING...ONCE YOU DO THIS EVERYTHING WILL GET BETTER... I am just giving you an answer from personal experience, so I don''t have any sources. I have had problems with depression...

A: Moo. professionally speaking that is. . . Oh sheet!! You''re thin!!! Are you trying to make us jealous or something? is there a profession where you judge if people are fat or not? you are on you way to a way of very unhealthy thinking. the professional you should seek would not be one that would tell you if you are thin or fat. i hope you work on this. no is not look in the mirrow to see I would say that by today''s standards of what is considered fat and thin, you are on the thin side. You still have quite a lot of growing to do and right now your body is busy getting into the adolescent hormonal mombo so don''t sweat it.

Medical professionals..help me understand the difference in diagnosis?
A: get a 2nd opinion from a specialist -not Yahoo. Different medical opinions, maybe both are right is just that one wants to be more invasive, which is not bad either. If you have 2 opinions, maybe a third opinion will be good, but I recommend you go to a cardiologist. If they don''t think that is a necessary procedure they will tell you but always the decision will be yours. Reading the diagnostics for this type of heart problem are like interpreting a blurry picture. So, one doc sees something that the other doc doesn''t. From what you have described it appears that if the excessive flow occurs only when exercising, an angiogram is needed, and the angiogram is not needed if the excessive flow occurs both when resting and exercising. Unfortunately, we must seek a third opinion at times...

Most of the time this works. See depression treatments, at http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris in section 2, and consult a doctor, to eliminate thyroid problems, etc. as possible contributing factors. It is your decision, and yours alone, as to whether to take any antidepressants offered, but, before you do, read section 1, and check medications out at www.drugs.com so you will be on the lookout for side effects, like sexual dysfunction. My strong recommendation, however, is to follow the advice of my...
Coping emotionally until I get professional help
A: I don''t have a clue as to help your mental state, but you might consider hiring a bookkeeper to collect your receivables and pay your bills. It will take a lot of pressure off. I would also break tasks up into smaller tasks and make short lists that you can check off thus boosting your confidence. You will see the bigger tasks get done that way. Good luck....

Retained Primitive Reflexes: A Possible Cause of ADHD
Dr. Yannick Pauli
Have you ever tried touching a baby's hand? Try doing so the next time you encounter a baby, and you'll notice that he or she will automatically grip your finger in response. This endearing behavior is actually one of the baby's many neonatal or reflexes – a primitive set of automatic reactions to specific stimuli. Babies' neonatal reflexes are located in the most primitive part of the brain, the brainstem, and have evolved to protect them from harm and to aid in their neurological development. As the baby grows up, the reflexes in the brain stem comes under the control of regions like the cerebral cortex, which are responsible for more evolved thinking.
Sometimes, the integration between primitive reflexes and higher thinking does not happen correctly, meaning the baby carries the primitive reflexes onto childhood. This occurrence is referred to as retained primitive reflexes. Its causes are unknown, but experts in this field suggest that it might be due to physical, hormonal, or chemical trauma in the womb. Caesarean birth or a traumatic birth (i.e. the use of foreceps) can also contribute to a retrained primitive reflex.
What happens to a child who kept his or her primitive reflexes? The symptoms depend on which specific primitive reflex failed to integrate with the rest of the central nervous system. You'll notice that many of these problems are among the diagnostic symptoms of ADHD.
• A retained Moro reflex results in the inability to control emotions. The child might be aggressive, insensitive, but also loving and compassionate. This may also cause a hypersensitivity to touch, light, and textures. • A retained Asymmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex can lead to inattention, the inability to complete writing tasks, and difficulty walking. • A retained Fear Paralysis Reflex causes fear and anxiety about new environments and situations, making the child withdraw from other children and strangers. • A retained Spinal Galant Reflex causes hyperactivity, difficulty staying in one place, inattention, and bedwetting. • A retained Tonic Labyrinthe Reflex leads to a child who has disturbed balance, problems with hearing, difficulties learning to walk and judge distances • A retained Infant Planter Reflex causes curled toes, which results in issues with balance and walking. Common symptoms are ingrown toenails, shin soreness, and twisted angles. • Retained Sucking and Rooting Reflexes result in problems with speech, eating, and chewing.
The relationship between retained primitive reflexes and ADHD has not been fully examined until an Australian study recruited 109 boys, 54 of which were diagnosed with ADHD. The boys' parents were asked to fill the Conners' Parent Rating Scale to confirm the ADHD symptoms, whereas the boys were asked to do certain reflex tests to check for any retained reflexes. Those without ADHD were found to have fewer symptoms of retained reflexes than the ADHD group, who had higher levels of Moro Reflexes, Asymmetrical Tonic Neck Reflexes, and Tonic Labyrinthe Reflexes. Although these findings are only preliminary, it shows some support to the relationship between retained primitive reflexes and ADHD symptoms. Retained primitive reflexes can be treated and reintegrated through chiropractic adjustments.

Layton City PolicyBack To Title List | Chapter List | Section List
4202 - Accident Review Board
The Risk Management Committee, consisting of the Risk Manager, Finance Director and Assistant City Attorney, shall review all on-the-job accidents and may convene as the Accident Review Board (ARB) to (1) determine the cause of the accident; (2) determine what could have been done to prevent the accident; (3) recommend what should be done to prevent a similar accident from occurring in the future; and (4) recommend remedial training and/or discipline to the Department Director and City Manager.
ARB Policy
The Risk Management Committee shall convene an ARB:
(1) If an accident involves a work-related injury that is recordable, as defined by OSHA:
- any work-related fatality,
- any work-related injury or illness that results in loss of consciousness, days away from work, restricted work, or transfer to another job,
- any work-related injury or illness requiring medical treatment beyond first aid,
- any work-related diagnosed case of cancer, chronic irreversible diseases, fractured or cracked bones or teeth, and punctured eardrums,
- any work-related injury meeting the special recording criteria involving needlesticks and sharps injuries, medical removal, hearing loss, and tuberculosis,
or, if the resulting property damage is estimated to exceed the amount set by state law for a reportable accident, and the accident may have been preventable, as determined by the Risk Management Committee. In this case the ARB will meet together with the involved employee and their Department Director. The Department Director responsible for the employee involved in the accident will sit as a non-voting, temporary member of the ARB and will chair the board during the ARB meeting.
(2) If an accident involves a work-related injury that does not meet the criteria of a recordable injury as defined by OSHA, or no bodily injury, and estimated property damages are less than the amount set by state law for a reportable accident, and the accident is considered to be preventable by the Risk Management Committee. However, in this case the ARB may not require the attendance of the employee involved in the accident, and may only require attendance of the Department Director and supervisors. In cases where the department has already thoroughly investigated the accident to the satisfaction of the Risk Management Committee and taken disciplinary action, the committee may or may not recommend an ARB.
Accidents that are considered by the Risk Management Committee to be non-preventable shall not require an ARB meeting unless directed by the City Manager. To expedite the scheduling of ARB meetings, the Risk Manager may in his/her sole judgment determine that an ARB meeting should be held in cases where he/she believes an occurrence is clearly preventable.
Scheduling an ARB Meeting
The Risk Management Division will schedule an ARB meeting with the Department Director. If the employee involved in the accident is required to attend, he or she will be notified of the meeting by the Department Director, and told that they may present information regarding the accident.
Invitation of Other Persons to the ARB Meeting
The Risk Management Committee, Department Director or involved employee may invite others to attend the meeting for the purpose of presenting information. For example, the officer who prepared the report of the accident or the employee's supervisor or co-worker may be asked to attend the meeting to review the facts and their evaluation of the accident.
The Risk Management Analyst will serve as secretary to the Board.
Determinations to be made by the ARB
Following the review of the information, the ARB shall determine the following:
a. The cause of the accident,
b. Whether or not the employee could have reasonably avoided the accident,
c. Whether the employee was following safety policies,
d. How similar accidents may be prevented in the future, and
e. Whether or not remedial training and/or discipline is appropriate and, if so, what the recommended training and/or discipline should be.
Written Notification of ARB Findings and Recommendations
A written record summarizing the ARB's findings and recommendations will be prepared by the Risk Management Analyst. A copy shall be sent to the Department Director and the City Manager. The City Manager will indicate in writing approval or disapproval of the recommendations and return the document to the Risk Management Analyst for filing.
Disciplinary Action and Remedial Training
The ARB may recommend disciplinary action or remedial training to the Department Director and the City Manager.
If the Department Director disagrees with the ARB's recommendation, he or she may request a meeting with the City Manager to present his or her views. The City Manager will then make the final determination.
Any disciplinary action taken shall be implemented in strict accordance with the City's Disciplinary Action Policy (See #3801). The employee's Department Director will be responsible for administering any remedial training in accordance with City policy.

Cyclists can enjoy fantastic limestone scenery and challenging climbs in the Dinaric Alps, which run the length of the country from Slovenia to Bosnia Herzegovina. The mountains here are well suited to off road adventures amid a grand landscape dotted with lakes, caves – three deeper than 1000 metres – and national parks that protect the most scenic and important areas. Plitvice Lakes National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site where a series of beautiful waterfalls connect sixteen lakes amid forested hills rich in flora and wildlife. Another exhilarating region for off road cyclists is among the sheer sided karst limestone canyons of Paklenica National Park.
The Dalmatian Coast boasts over a thousand islands and islets set amid crystal clear Adriatic waters and a backdrop of forested mountains. Historic villages and ports such as Dubrovnik complement this beautiful setting and can be visited on bike. Cyclists can use hotels and local ferries to hop between islands or can also stay aboard a cruise boat and park the bikes on board between rides.
The Istrian Peninsula on the north coast offers the adventurous cyclist impressive medieval fortified towns, rolling olive groves and inviting beaches. Less visited than the Dalmatian Coast, Istria falls mostly in Croatia but also covers Slovenia and Italy. It is possible to cycle from Venice to the scenic sea port of Porec.
Conditions are just right for cyclists in the spring and autumn months, with warm and sunny days tempered by cool breezes from the Adriatic.

Have you ever seen the Northern Lights? When we were in Canada, we did! They were so beautiful!
Mom woke up about 2:30 in the morning. She looked outside and saw dancing green lights. She woke both Dad and me up to show us. We got out of our camper and stood in the cold. It was so exciting!
The Northern Lights were like crazy rainbows. They danced and shimmered. They shot across the sky. Sometimes there was one beam. Sometimes there were two.
The beams changed colors. Most of the time they were green. Other times they turned almost pink and blue. Wow!
Here are some photos that Mom took of the Northern Lights.
We wanted to know more about the Northern Lights. What are they? Why can't we see them in Texas?
We found out that Latin name for the Northern Lights is aurora borealis. The lights come from our sun. Electron particles escape from the sun. These electrons are attracted to earth's magnetic field. When the electrons collide with the gases in our atmosphere, we see Northern Lights.
Northern Lights occur during times of high solar activity. The closer you are to the earth's magnetic north, the more often you can see the Northern Lights. It is easy to see Northern Lights in Alaska and Canada. You can sometimes see them in the northeast United States several times a year. Because we are so far south in Texas, we may only see them once every ten or twenty years! I'm so glad that we got to see them in Canada!

Final score: Spurs 3-4 City
English FA Cup
Disbelief, shock and disappointment don't even begin to sum up the feelings after this FA Cup Fourth Round replay, which must surely go down as one of the most incredible in the competition's long history.
Leading 3-0 at half-time and seemingly in control, we appeared to have the game wrapped up, particularly after Joey Barton was sent off as the players left the pitch at the interval for a second yellow card.
But City battled back despite their disadvantage in terms of personnel and goals and scored four unanswered goals in the second half, the winner coming in stoppage time at the end of the game.
We made a great start to the match, opening the scoring after just two minutes when Ledley King drilled home a fine left-foot shot past Arni Arason, making his debut in the City goal. It was King's first of the season, his fourth goal in our colours.
Our lead was doubled on 18 minutes when Stephen Carr floated a wonderful ball over the defence and into Robbie Keane's path, Keane's control was immaculate and he neatly finished past the debutant stopper.
Both sides lost one of their strikers to injury, as Helder Postiga was replaced by Gus Poyet and Nicolas Anelka made way for Jon Macken.
Then, just before half-time, Barton's foul on Michael Brown presented Christian Ziege with exactly the free-kick opportunity he thrives on and our German defender curled a stunning effort home from 25 yards.
As the half-time whistle blew Barton, who had just been booked for his foul, received another yellow card from Rob Styles for dissent, and didn't reappear for the second half.
His team never missed him though. Just three minutes into the half, Michael Tarnat dinked a free-kick into our area and Sylvain Distin ran on to the ball, heading it past Kasey Keller.
On 55 minutes, Ziege had another free-kick opportunity in an almost identical position, but this time Arason made a world-class save to tip the ball onto the crossbar and when Keane headed the rebound into an apparently empty net, the City keeper appeared from nowhere to save his effort on the line.
It was to be a pivotal moment in the tie, City suddenly feeling their luck was changing and that was certainly the case for their second goal on 61 minutes.
A defensive clearance fell to Paul Bosvelt on the edge of the area, he hit his effort into the ground but it bounced up, hit Anthony Gardner on the leg and looped up over Keller into the net.
Arason was there again to deny us on 76 minutes, diving full-length to keep out Poyet's header and four minutes later City were level. Robbie Fowler sent Shaun Wright-Phillips free down the right and the young winger beat Keller to the ball and lifted it over our American stopper for 3-3.
As the game entered its dying seconds, we were dealt a final, crushing blow. The ball ran wide to Tarnat on the left, his deep cross was met by Macken and his header back across goal beat Keller. An unbelievable end to an unbelievable game.

The Shelter Valley Folk Festival has taken place each year on labour day weekend for 14 years. In 2017 the membership made a reccomendation to the board that, "the 2017 festival be the last weekend long festival for the forseeable future". The board passed this motion, giving the festival community time to regroup and determine the direction of the festival moving forward. In addition to concerts and workshops on a series of daytime stages and an evening Main Stage, the festival included an Arts Village showcasing local potters, painters, photographers and one-of-a-kind crafts, quality harvest food purveyors, wellness practitioners and sustainable living experts (providing interactive displays and engaging seminars and workshops). In December 2017, the membership met again and voted that the organization be disolved. You can read more about this here.
The festival has also featured a family and children's area complete with performers, interactive arts workshops, and a lovely children's parade.
For the full festival experience, open field camping has been available on site accompanied with communal fire pits for festival goers to join in the hosted song circles.

But if you do not want this 100 Mio, i would take good care of them Surplus is correct if you add only the numbers of income and expenditure, and ignore the fact that it should be substracted. But why are there negative numbers? Because you altered the report, or do you really have negative numbers there? And did you get the surplus paid out? Back to top NikoyGuest Posted: Tue Oct 30, 2007 07:28 Post subject: Only the expenses are negative, the rest is positive, I separated the numbers from the words with a dash (-), maybe this you are taking for a minus. The unusual things are the too large Star redistribution tax that I payed today, and the addition of large amount of money for unknown reason. Because I am just coming back from Barcelona where I had very nice 5 days I am not sure did I really got those 100 millions, but I think I got them. It looks like mistake in the calculations, combined with some other bug! Back to top Black-SkullGuest Posted: Thu Nov 01, 2007 06:32 Post subject: I think the Calculation of the financial report are OK. Income - Expenses = Surplus Throught the negative tax, you get negative Expenses and so we must calculate : Income + Expenses = Surplus I think the Bug are hidden in the calculation of the star redistributation tax. You get a relative big income, if you get each turn 25.680.292 Credits. Perhaps have your tax fall back from the positive side to the negative side of a numberformat ??? Its difficult to describe it in englisch - i don't know the right words. But of the other hand don't make that a sense. A signed MEDIUMINT have a enviroment of -8.388.608 to 8.388.605 and signed INT have much more -2.147.483.648 to 2.147.483.648. Its a miracle. Back to top NikoyGuest Posted: Fri Nov 02, 2007 06:31 Post subject: Hmm, yes the number can be explained, but why this happen is still a mistery. It is not because I have negative income from too big taxes. Normally the report looks different - this happened only once. Anyways, as long as I GET money I don't mind this bug. Just watch that nobody LOSES money...

Statistics Canada's main campus is in the National Capital Region (Ottawa-Gatineau)
The National Capital Region is one of the most desirable places to live in the world. Once you discover its dynamic culture, distinctive neighbourhoods, family-friendly atmosphere, bustling arts and entertainment scene, and countless recreational options, we think you'll agree that this is truly a special place.
One of the most important decisions you will have to make is choosing where to live. There are dozens of desirable neighbourhoods in the National Capital Region, for example:
The Downtown Ottawa area is a mix of residential and commercial neighbourhoods. Within this area you will find the Glebe, one of the oldest and most elegant areas of Ottawa, Centretown, housing many young professionals in its numerous high-rises, and Preston Street, which is the heart of the Italian community.
Riverside is a newer neighbourhood, located in the south end of the city. Although it is only fifteen minutes from downtown, there are hundreds of acres of parks and numerous nature trails in Riverside.
Westboro is a thriving community located along the Ottawa River. With its gentrified older homes and an increasingly lively street scene, Westboro is establishing itself as a popular destination for food, shopping and nightlife.
Kanata is a popular suburban area in the west end of Ottawa. It is a planned community, and it is notable for being an important high-tech centre. Kanata is located about 22 kilometres west of downtown Ottawa along Highway 417.
Orleans is one of Ottawa's fastest growing suburban areas. Not only does it boast a large shopping centre, but there is also plenty of recreational space. The community is about 16 kilometres east of Ottawa's downtown core, just a ten minute drive away.
Gatineau is a city in West Quebec, situated immediately across the Ottawa River, opposite the City of Ottawa. Prior to 2002, there were five cities on the Quebec side of the Ottawa River: Hull, Gatineau, Aylmer, Buckingham and Masson-Angers. These amalgamated into one city, and the remaining four communities have now become suburbs or neighbourhoods. As part of the National Capital Region, Ottawa and Gatineau make up a single Metropolitan Area.
There are major tourist attractions in Gatineau, such as the Canadian Museum of Civilization and the Casino du Lac Leamy.
Each Labour Day weekend, Gatineau hosts a hot air balloon festival, filling the skies over the city with hundreds of colourful balloons.
One of Gatineau's larger parks, Jacques Cartier Park, is used by the National Capital Commission each February during the popular outdoor festival, Winterlude.
Without a doubt, the National Capital Region's jewel is Gatineau Park. Only 15 minutes from Parliament Hill, the Park is endowed with hundreds of hiking trails through forests containing more than fifty species of trees, abundant wildlife and several crystal-clear lakes. During the summer, visitors can participate in outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling, swimming and camping, and in the winter months, they can ski or snowshoe on the more than 200 kilometres of groomed paths.
Of course, these are only a few of the lovely neighbourhoods found in the National Capital Region. There are many more, each with its own personality.

The show actually I think we're gonna have -- new -- started when eleven. -- -- B I don't know a new and -- we know is similar predict that its own off them. It's well and I'll leave that up to -- viewers. So my prediction I think it's somebody humble -- it's gonna be Airpwn Antuan Goodwin. I don't think you had inside information on now I have -- -- possible. Little bear landfill back. Will leave it to the viewers how long you last time. And you better lectures. -- pulled out. Will ya know we're very excited about that so look for a lot of great stuff from. And on next year. -- -- -- But let's get to the actual predictions so we're gonna go around in circles here and given prediction and then the other two or three of us will then how wrong that prediction this. -- -- -- And rules -- RA it's exactly that could be yet -- voted in. And yeah let's just get started -- -- a leader softest can. -- -- I believe that 2011. It will be the year of dual core Android phones. Tool -- -- aren't I think that's. I think that's a good -- and -- also held on a limb says that's a safe one and that you know through its strict I think you're absolutely right. -- we've seen. We've seen already a phone and dual core phone for and drain that has been released and -- the world globally very we talked about the LG. Are to acts of -- exactly. And so if you could say it is pretty safe to say that. Phones like -- also becoming into the US and I think by the -- of the year we're going to see a whole lot of them dual core. When it. Dual core chips not just from Nvidia but also Samsung Qualcomm. A Texas Instruments than others so -- is the future and the future will be realized. Parents have dual core phones will rule the market in 2011 yet accurate or correct about the -- at the -- it. Cool aren't what's here what's your -- on it. I'm thinking that based on in -- and for the galaxy not -- a few the next is that that we saw that think Google's gonna be working. Two expand its in car connectivity beyond just -- being a phone it's it's a -- export. It seems like -- already kind of positioning themselves to. I know if there was -- in theory at union article on CNET this week where it there was an that it has -- But the end the entire right -- I'm not. But yet the -- that if there's an add on YouTube where basically grew with this in -- this desert complete replacement for -- -- navigation in your card basically showing. I got -- in his navigation -- often using the phone. Well I think that's cool and all with that screen so small league schools and to do something else to me that -- of the two weeks in the reality right so if you're gonna simulate wireless media to scream that thirty built into your car on on the Nokia is up to -- Nokia is doing with being called. One thing or remove view wore -- it's called. A terminal mode -- basically what ever happening on your own -- -- on the touch screen on your dashboard but maybe they'll. Look for something like that or maybe they'll do something like -- -- -- Google car -- maybe. We've already -- filtering cards right around maybe that'll be the first implementation of them. -- -- -- Integration of handwriting into. Cars well interview with gonna take to knock Apple off the top of right now with you when you hear the theme music -- party euthanized -- -- -- injuries a difficult under -- I have an -- port -- aren't actually the exclusively use my day. Android phone at the flow optimal situation. Perfectly as if you wanna -- a -- you gotta reached -- a phone near crash and -- An analyst -- an advocate of the -- I -- I appreciate that. I mean I don't know I don't get too deep into this -- -- -- had. Plenty of problems with my day -- -- my previous car have the iPod integration. -- -- but it worked very poorly and in fact. Even though they always held the -- courts never changed -- new iPods and iphones -- wouldn't work you. So that's why -- Oxford is you know it always works. And only you know I think that you know again if voice control in the phones without the need again. With the I really just want dented. That's what I want to get her on screen -- -- right now I think that is certainly the best option. -- here's my first one cool. TV. Will die. As a stand -- device. So Google TV has come out a couple of -- threaded. They have like standalone ones like. Logitech review them at the may also -- that are built in two TVs and built into Blu-ray players. So I'm -- is. Why would you ever want to get the standalone box it's it doesn't do enough -- god DVRs -- where we all have some other device. They don't need another device you just -- your existing devices that more functionality so I think. Any school TV devices that aren't act part of the TV or an existing DVR will not be around by the end of twenty. Unfurling -- the project here -- And it makes perfect sense because I keep forgetting tools -- that it's. Not hard and in fact there is news this weekend that. Aaron up and fun are you really shopping for TV right now -- I am are you I have shopping for a TV atom and -- the market or. Criminalize stopping by a growing -- without him always happening. But. Yet maybe it makes sense -- for the same reason that that that think. We're not gonna say it you know -- example -- -- -- for failures there -- handle Blu-ray players the Sony PlayStation. Was cheaper. And indeed Blu-ray and games for it and unity connecting -- villages -- all non yesterday that'll those exactly I mean if he's living at the same situation in that way yeah I agree 100% -- -- Tuesday. Excellent are almost wanted to say it's gonna die totally especially when the news came out this week that they asked all the manufacturers not to demo -- TV at CS. Which is a little. -- and I don't think it's gonna die and -- the distinct standalone device as well. All right Jessica. -- -- -- -- is gonna take over the world or at least global market share and I think it beefed. Well. I'm just gonna go out and -- I'm gonna -- 50%. -- that -- -- have 50%. 50% plus one. The toll. Phone market -- of this Smartphone market. Because in our -- because. Globally I thought we -- like seventy something percent of people's -- feature phones. Globally EMI are also seeing is that amber and phones our -- mean getting cheaper rate much more prevalent -- -- would feet -- -- that they are going to be replacing the feature found. With some of the deals that you see now the prices are coming down and you can get. An entry level entry phone for the same or less as many feature -- Right yeah and I think there is a good one especially you're right about prices -- their own like all the sort of prepaid carriers are getting them now and -- -- don't really see that night on an already. So. That's the strength of Mandarin it is. Yeah that that it does that reflect that -- -- -- flexible open manufacturers can go in there they can make pretty much any phone they want but very few restrictions. And they can dispersants solid however and -- the united talked about -- on a previous show what does this mean for me and for -- it editing character. And Google's already decided that it doesn't have a problem with the -- added editing character as red. By manufacturers and carriers for that really opens the door. And and I think that we're gonna see a lot more of that actually in market. Where Smartphones will definitely become the computer. And fewer families who might not have a computer would -- having a computer. Yeah well I'm gonna call this one definitely possible. Yes -- a -- yeah I mean it -- that the rate of mr. activating phone. In the numbers of their new claiming every month that -- on track to happen. Now that doesn't mean I want it to happen although no I am -- a big fan of competition in a way. -- -- every fifty 80% that still. You know another 50% of the market -- -- someone else yet their sellers fragmentation within injury that there be plenty of competition. -- in a sibling rivalry between. I predict you're gonna talk about fragmentation in the near future and a possible there arena RX. So this I think is a joint prediction. And on and video yet so. It is that there are able I'm guessing that Chrome OS is gonna go the way of Google Wave and -- not gonna survive 2011. It'll probably get absorbed an Android it seems like as. Sort of mobile OS's and as lightweight as Chrome OS instant. It only makes sense that eventually at some point -- -- -- -- wire -- putting effort into this when we could just. You know. Offshoot due -- offshoot of there are even you know take the direction that -- is going -- becoming a tablet OS and just expand that a little bit further -- -- -- -- Exactly ray and it kind of hard -- attic keywords or a look at Google TV that's running handwritten it in as a full page browser in his keyboard and mouse support -- -- -- I think this one is a great predictions. I also think they'll be the reason that that can happen that there Chrome OS I think Google -- paying -- -- the long game like -- think that this is a technology -- -- -- be. Prevalent. It a little further down in the future -- -- -- and broadband becomes more ubiquitous than men. Over the air Internet everywhere right that's that's where Chrome -- can shine. Right now and that's -- it. Right yeah I think when that when that happens Andrew pros and even better off the -- -- then you need it. It's already there communitarian already does -- in the small form factor means it to do -- it via the -- and Hillary. -- -- I think this is a good guess they think the one thing standing in the ways as the amount of investment that Google has put in this compared to -- -- -- wave you know was cool. Literally invested in it but -- didn't give away -- cool. It was a cool thought -- that it was so cool you couldn't understand it. I can't image -- right I can understand that the demo I can understand is why anybody would use it and how and what David duke and apparently gag Google came to the same realization spread because they -- -- off. Just a little bit over a year later. So with Chrome OS though not only have they put it -- -- a couple years into building this but they just -- 60000. Laptops. Google I mean if the drive in the marketing -- we. We know that around -- parents ups or whatever the bottom line around he had -- to -- it's a big investment. I think. I can say this woman is raped but I don't think it's gonna happen when eleven. Well -- mean again it fade in May not actually be a complete dissolution of Chrome OS but I mean. It in and greater definitely gonna start emerging and the already -- so much and what they do it silly to me I think it only makes sense that. And it'll probably get renamed. As something. More injury -- seven point at -- -- means just because there's already a lot of buzz around the name -- -- I guess there's also a lot of buzz around the name Chrome and in brand recognition there. That -- can also just. Maintain -- -- a browser name and still have a brand identity via. The acronym can be the browser Indian group data that is that can do what happened also happens tells us about they just -- into Wendy. I'd be happy to leave -- really family our rights so moving on to mine aid. One of my second one here. So I'm gonna say this is similar to. -- -- -- Android tablets will be even or even above iPad market share and and 2011 and gone against the grain here -- analysts are saying that this is not gonna. They're saying that -- tablets will not catch up until. The end of 2012. I'm saying that new. Tablet. That they sort of demo it at all things. Conference is -- be so compelling and our head of the iPad. And moral core dual core front facing camera rear facing camera. And it's gonna be not you know it's gonna be one of the first best ones out there but there's gonna be. You know twenty other really good ones introduced next -- so. And they're -- -- when the other really cheap ones probably data and aren't necessarily is good but we'll definitely -- will be in store ago her book or tablet to have a repellent when that. Exactly yeah and I think that. You know I don't think a lot of people are gonna switch from an iPad to -- -- tablet but I think it's gonna open up the market via. It's gonna be agreed first tablet though the low end ones kind of like we're talking about phones and you know great for international use as well -- With 800 it seems to be death by a thousand paper cuts -- it. -- -- Can't say if that's a good or bad thing of snow event yet it seems to be effective at least from Smartphone market it's effective for Google yes and we do you have TF coming up and I would not be surprised to seeing and it actually interesting and impressive. Tablet announcement. -- -- -- -- -- -- Are we saw a video firm Motorola. Yesterday rate. Basically promise -- the announcement of a tablet. And presumably adapts the tablet that Andy Rubin was plain list. That had a Motorola logo on it at all things. It's could -- it's true that there -- -- but anyway so and -- tablets dominant by the mandatory. -- -- -- -- Sorry -- skipped the day I -- -- ordered. -- -- -- -- -- I'm gonna sand. That video chatting as going to be much much more prevalent. IN. -- -- -- Going forward. And I think that we're gonna see a lot more players in the outfield so. For example like Skype doesn't have any -- video chat Britain have seen -- -- And -- really then lake. And of dragging behind yet and I think that they and other competitors especially with new -- Devices to start flooding out with front facing cameras. Now the question is are people any use it or -- -- -- it rated and add. I think that they'll create a greater opportunity just having -- there especially with the brand name like Skype if that does happen as I predict. Yeah that's and it would be -- -- added more international travelers -- is that people who are -- from their family and and teenagers. Democrat. -- drug Gould chatter Google Voice -- they add video. To that for I can't imagine why that wouldn't be in the future upgrade because they are -- have video chat work on the desktop via. So their engines -- plays all the have to do is make -- mobile. Yet no I think you're totally right I think in addition and this is not one of my predictions but it isn't -- -- being near the dual core phones in the four G phones this is going to be the year of the front facing camera. So I think the front facing cameras -- gonna power in the software and of Skype has to support us now who will chat asked -- -- So you deep faith that near -- -- as they definitely. On this or. Really think. I don't like idiots that but I mean I agree with the hope that left -- to see that as an -- I don't have the right one of the year to anybody -- -- -- -- overseas. Often with on the use of the country. Though -- and -- -- that videotape with them. And telling your mom. -- -- -- Me. Avoid lifting the subject but that's -- lifted Cuba pentagon that prediction at the long side and and the goofy but the mighty in the build. An injury that runs on Android. The both of them -- we need a lot replied that's totally improvement but get more seriously. We're gonna start seeing Android awareness. Because -- -- cheap to implement showing up in more non Smartphone non tablet devices there's been talk of years of appliances having like a touch screen on the right to -- you when -- out of milk you know in your refrigerator we're gonna start seeing. -- into the becoming the the the out OS of choice for these sort of non traditional implementations and I would be surprised if we started seeing. Like that as early as he has this year. I think you're right on this one and this I'm just knew it jumped to my next prediction -- as it is very closely related. -- him as -- 2011 we're gonna see an Android based toaster. Boy let me bring that up it has been -- -- planning meetings we've been talking about -- coasters. With. Boosters as slick as the -- -- that Andrea based robot goes and uses the talk via Bluetooth. Ram or rom Caribbean temperature rose as mere few endear you don't communicate -- -- There are -- and this is that I think both of these are dead zone. And in -- in time it'll. It's mister robot to -- -- Apple moved around an excellent entry from renewable and garden if you say. I was thinking more could bring your test out there it will better than traditional -- -- -- oh yeah if outline again Alan -- -- the fastest. But you -- it seldom did I know about that now you get excited. -- -- -- -- -- Again if you sue and any image and -- did the -- -- -- we're gonna take a quick break here and when we come back we have more of our predictions but we also have predictions from a special guests we are back. Are welcome back thanks for joining us and seem to -- -- -- to jet out go build that Android toaster. But at least we know what's gonna happen now. Com our rates have before we get back to our predictions on the -- me remember a previous -- -- host. Who wanted to give his predictions for next -- so let's take a look at that. A -- -- not -- radios we've used Jason Howell. Sorry couldn't join me as in the studio just -- you part of this but unfortunately minutia that I produce turkeys today runs the same time standard outlets weekly. So I can't join use or lose. I have this video it with a few of mine an accurate predictions for -- eleven. First off I think that app development. For Android is gonna get pretty cool I think that. What you're going to see a little bit less it is the developed for Iowa us first and then ported Android thing which sells a lot of what we've seen. In -- everybody wants is cool apps and I think the developers are starting to really see. Android as a platform that's on par for making money and that's the -- platforms that the UC a lot of simultaneous development. Which means less waiting for cool -- I think that's just nothing but good things. Gaming I also really think that -- elevens can usher in a whole new era pretty awesome game industry standard platform -- -- game developers. Are starting to see the platform -- kind of dynamic. As we absence of the new technologies and these phones and increase the capabilities. I think you're gonna see a lot of cool games coming out over the course of the next year and possibly with interesting models like for example and reports coming out for free on Android. And it's not supported. Verses on -- analysts we have to pay for it. You know they can do a lot of interest in things -- -- -- that we will see -- -- -- Russell and speaking of gaming we have the PlayStation phone. And hasn't been confirmed yet but I do think that it's a done deal that's gonna happen somewhere and other but I thought that through my prediction. My prediction is that folds like this PlayStation phone -- there -- other hardware comes out that's. Gaming focused enhanced slide out gaming controller out as opposed to a QWERTY keyboard on screen controls. I think these are gonna make the most awesome emulation device is the ultimate emulator. I just think about you don't have to foot fiddle around with your keyboard and -- a little keys or use the on screen controller you can. Use -- controller -- gaming controller that's focused for gaming. And have you know the super Nintendo. Any scholars for. All is -- machines -- -- Your fingertips and it's no longer a nightmare to play it on your portable device trying to play these things like Motorola Droid and it's kind of -- nightmare so. And now speaking of that in 2011. Early production -- -- of unmitigated you follow me get rid of Motorola Droid. I'm waiting for their iPhone to movie it's gotta be on Verizon's got to have a front facing camera. You don't need be it's one of these games phones if there -- that there is one that comes out Verizon I might -- So they have it does my predictions for 2011 Andrea us weekly thank you so much for allowing me to do this. And here's to what an awesome 111. For you guys take care. Awesome cool thanks -- That I actually think he -- that on a standard phone you may have her. You may have been found eleven -- -- speaker quality is where I think -- his daughter is holding the camera and yet brilliant. Aren't so let's run down Jason's -- real quick and and -- and I will give thumbs up thumbs down. There -- enter an IOS releases -- releases at the same time. -- -- give it a thumbs up. I'm gonna give it a thumbs up and I don't know if it'll be all of them. I agree I think that some of the big one particularly. -- -- getting ahead of ourselves you know early gains and what not right we definitely see that -- If you look a lot of the apps are are pretty specific. So far. -- -- So gaining its gonna be a big focus for -- a lot of games for indirect data and interest in revenue models is physically says like -- -- reforms. Yeah yeah we've already seen that start to happen it in the last couple months of this year what would game loft opinion really being in releasing a lot of -- gains and I'm over the last couple months and just tons of main revert activity Alia. Yeah I'll -- Angry Birds even though it doesn't really run agreed on my and the day it does not it's not that great on a phone in general I think when the tata tablets Android tablets that really intuitive he ate like -- predict. Any -- even be bigger and indirect. You actually think that may be one of the things that Jason -- -- Tablet game. Ray yeah even in everything in my -- -- -- -- have had to respond but I think cabbages and that they looked at great point because I think. -- gaming massive. -- gaming on I pads. He's just hold different kind of market -- you can play games -- he couldn't play at all on on on screen but think the focus will probably still be on handsets. Just because you're more likely to pull a hand that out -- a bar. You're more likely to polish hands and how long waiting in line for the bank. Versus reach and your bank and pulling out -- a seven inch tablet split on your pocket. Click quick round of -- reflecting on the train -- I think that's that's true he did state gaming focused hardware so you could you know. And -- extrapolate that that means tablets today he was talking more about. PlayStation phone or other phones -- you know that were. As if being built for hard core gamers the world of phones -- feed him I feel they're being. A market remove. Specifically with the hardcore gamers. You know taken over that kind of space that you know the iPod Touch -- kind of stealing already from the Nintendo DS and the PSP right. But I think within -- the phone are usually more. I can do it all kind of phones and specific hardware like that -- -- you were that you wouldn't really use all the time would. Probably just make the -- a little bit bulky -- a -- -- gonna catch on I don't think those will. Will be huge part of the intriguing next year I think that they'll be -- -- the bird very small part. I think though that there would that would be one thing that would I think it -- over -- management -- -- there's something like awhile that happens on a portable system. Yeah only -- -- you know I think I I would work. Need to get this though worry -- my you know I think graphical ceiling to retrieve that it's not gonna be substantial part of the Merck and -- -- Art. Jason's gonna win and you don't yet have been in business who becomes I'll probably didn't want. Yes -- I think I will as well I think I have the new phones and you exactly everyone here will get -- opponent when eleven that no one knew what they're gonna get that were always PCS -- and Virginia I made the mistake of buying my phone just before its years last year. And there are important I'm paying them right. Hard so I got two more here we'll finish up real quick so Android UI fragmentation. Will persist. That a given her the -- -- want. It does they -- but in the mean as long as I mean there's the bones that have existed before. Aren't all around the Christ they're still gonna meet their on the current law. -- -- I think that schemes are gonna still be -- unit even at the end between Lebanon and all the U wire work that Google says is gonna print Texas. Is gonna -- improvements clearly that it's not -- -- Yen again that. It's either a gift or hurts depends on how you look at it depends on I guess if you're -- developer interviews. Really -- the whole open nature of integrator you just. One of those people who doesn't wanna learn a new you buy every time you touch -- -- you pick up a new phone that whether the good thing or not. -- and Walter. Expect. So my final one year he thought the toaster -- crazy will -- you heard anything yet. I'm gonna say -- will release a music store competitor to iTunes. Targeted directly at and -- So kind of like you mentioned before how. You know much people really associated iphones and iPods with music. And grid needs you know Google enter -- need to get into a game and really. -- a seamless. Way to buy music make it as easy as the iTunes experience. And I think -- think they're gonna do that. I really want this to happen. The same time in and -- I had the number in a turncoat like this could have been complaining about it all here. But I don't know if it would actually -- He did it for books yet and that the book had the experience that I had with their books -- -- what. Everything you know maybe they should leave -- -- -- -- what they're doing but -- compared to the Kindle app and even the in the -- That that Google with the called the Google who rule books -- a -- Google -- an updated. This -- theme. It seems a little half and half. Well it -- their first version yeah I know and and I'm thinking. You know maybe this is a situation where. You know and Amazon and -- that -- can -- the Amazon and keep the historic agreement on all the numbers now they aren't out yet maybe that's just a better way to do it maybe that needs to expand. Animated -- -- -- the partnership with Amazon so maybe Amazon powers if it becomes the Google music store and -- you know wolf resolve the problem is the plan -- horrible. He -- done -- there to fix that there's a lot of the missing from the player that. That just click advanced playlist progress and our and a sort of it is -- but. I think most of Veoh -- silently. Benefit and the -- that's been through it you get -- don't you grab a little later tonight it's not about you -- -- powerful -- And also unsure about how how well Google is gonna make with the labels and they can -- Deals and partnerships enabled it and music content and I don't know I mean -- kind of feeling on TVs fact that. Which is why make things -- -- -- who already has the app has that Indiana minority has. You know huge huge huge -- lever agreements in music you want anyway -- depth Oreo on store. That needs to expand and there needs to be better management of your music but maybe not necessarily better way to purchase your music. Alright well I -- against -- on this one but time will tell. I think that it must have any last minute predictions. Again -- -- aren't a -- wide eyed and optimistic. -- well. Not even listen to this show you're an Apple listened to the next year of shows to -- -- for rate. We'll you know for still doing this show at the end next year will. He wrapped a Seattle revelers are present active will tally at the score and see who's -- I think I'm gonna win. The U yes I think. I don't know I I have better odds just because I have -- most. Actual gases -- Orleans through between them. Every promise to come up with -- -- -- that move if we build up percentage. And cruel ways dies and the need to wind 100% they go awesome. Cool I don't think -- Join in us and for tuning in and if you think all these things or crazies -- deaths. In email and let us know -- email addresses Android analysts at cnet.com. -- thoughts on Twitter under that lists. We are -- -- every Thursday. -- next Thursday. Com at cnet.com slash live and -- applaud CNET -- -- on Android atlas our next show. Will be next year at C yes. On what is -- January 7. I think we are going lives have to thirty. But you should just go to CNET tech contest -- as soon as CES starts because will be sort of non -- live coverage. -- throughout CS. And you've probably seen a lot. Crazy underage news. -- show so. You know -- example on for a agreed to be the new post and look forward -- great stuff next here. -- -- --

But where i find most difficulties is in music.
I struggle to listen to something new and like it right away, and i have to think 2 or 3 times if i want to download it and keep it. But the great thing about having a music blog is have people send you stuff that i wouldn't normally listen to.
Case in point is the following artist, called L.A. Calling:
Real name David Corral, this L.A. born artist has created one the most peculiar and interesting i've ever seen. He describes himself as having a "multi-genre appeal" and here's why:
skip to 2:09 if you don't want to watch the incredibly cheesy beginning.
As you will be able to notice, the band that plays in this video seems like they should be a part of a heavy-metal band. And that's the whole point. David wants to blend metal stylings with electronic music, which at first glance looks odd, but it'll make more sense when you listen to the music.
The following stuff is all exclusive to ilictronix.
The first song is the one you hear in the video, called "Pussycat". This one sorta defines the artist's sound. It is a darker version of the Human League, in my opinion, less cheesy and less happy. However, i do believe that if this track was made in the 80's, it would've been a big hit.
L.A. Calling - Pussycat [click to download]
Next one is "Krush". Here the rock/metal influences are more present, with the guitar making a constant marque on the song. But despite that, it still sounds very 80's, very synthy and all that.
L.A. Calling - Krush [click to download]
Coming up is "Spin Head". I really like vocal work on this one, David is a very good singer indeed and this one has great vocals.
L.A. Calling - Spin Head [click to download]
Finally, we have "Only Human Now", a slightly calmer song that doesn't really have much to be said that already hasn't been said.
L.A. Calling - Only Human Now [click to download]
In case you want to know more, visit his website or Myspace.
I also hope you comment, because i really think this guy can go far with this stuff, all he needs is some exposure.
Lights and music,

Executive Officers
of the New Brunswick Federation of Labour
[ Français ]
For the most part, officers were elected each year at the annual meetings of the Federation of Labour. There are exceptions, however, as elections were initially held twice a year (and there were also two conventions in 1940); moreover, since 1987, most officers have been elected for two-year terms. No conventions took place in 1945 (due to travel restrictions at the end of the war) or in 1974 (a policy conference was held instead), and in both situations the officers continued to serve for a second year. Beginning in 1960, trustees were elected to serve for one, two or three-year terms.
The list is based primarily on the proceedings of the annual meetings of the Federation. In cases where the proceedings were missing or incomplete, we consulted additional sources. We have also attempted to verify the spellings of names and to present the names in a standard form from year to year. We identified some cases in which officers did not complete a term, and where available, we have given the name of the replacement in brackets. In some cases, especially in the enlarged executive council after 2003, new affiliations and other changes in status resulted in changes in the number of officers.
The structure of the executive changed over time. In addition to the President and Secretary-Treasurer, there have been several kinds of vice-presidencies, including 1st, 2nd and 3rd (and briefly 4th and 5th) vice-presidencies. There have also been vice-presidencies based on cities, districts, counties and regions within the province. A vice-president responsible for women's issues was first elected in 1984, and a vice-president for youth in 2001. In 2003 the executive was enlarged to include representatives of the labour councils, the major affiliates (with more than 1,000 members) and two vice-presidencies for smaller unions.
