The UK are taking over America, it's official. Lock up your daughters Uncle Sam because a little band known as One Direction are going to be molesting their ears for a few more years yet. Since the "lads" finished the X Factor, in third place i might add, they have been shooting skywards at such a colossal rate i don't think they will ever see what it's like for us small folk on the ground again.
According to Sony Music Chairman Nick Gatfield, the boys are worth $50 Million as it currently stands with the success of their album and their current American tour. This, however, is expected to double in the next year and turning them into a brand as well as a band. After they finish their gigantic American tour, finishing at Madison Square Garden, they will take off for a world tour next year. The 'team' behind them on their tour is 90 strong, "That's 90 jobs created by these five boys" and they also have potential films in the pipeline as well as an animated series called "The adventurous Adventures of One Direction". Well, the last point is a rumour but we hope it's true as it will either be rubbish or hilarious.
Let's hope that some other Pop exports of ours can cause as much of a stir on the other side of the pond. We already have The Wanted making waves but they still have a long way to getting the praise and adoration that the One Direction and last years winners of X Factor, Little Mix, can hopefully be the new Spice Girls and have total World Domination.
Well here at Livemusic we hope to see their meteoric rise continue until one day we see Harry Styles in The White House.

HOK's Mark Otsea: Project Manager Extraordinaire
Mark Otsea, AIA, LEED AP, spent 12 years of his professional life leading a multidisciplinary team designing the 6.46-million-sq.-ft. Hamad International Airport Passenger Terminal Complex in Doha, Qatar—one of the largest, most challenging projects in HOK's history. Between 2004 and 2015, as the project's initial scope continued to grow, he made 80 roundtrip flights between San Francisco and Doha.
In 2009, at the peak of the effort, Otsea was managing 55 dedicated HOK people who had moved to Doha to work on site in the project office, in addition to coordinating the activities of hundreds of other professionals in San Francisco and eight other HOK offices.

"Mark's commitment to serving our client in Doha was unprecedented," said Patrick MacLeamy, FAIA, HOK's chairman. "He turned his life upside-down at great personal sacrifice to lead this project to a stunning result. The terminal served more than 30 million passengers in 2015."
In 2016, Otsea, a senior vice president and senior project manager in HOK's San Francisco office, is celebrating his 40th year at the firm. Today, he is the project manager for Salt Lake City International Airport's $1.8 billion Terminal Redevelopment Program.
Salt Lake City International Airport Terminal Redevelopment
Otsea has spent most of his four-decade career guiding design and construction teams through complex, large-scale projects. He began to establish his reputation as a problem solver in 1976, during his first year at HOK. His first assignment was to support the design of a new federal office building in Anchorage, Alaska, for which he moved to Seattle and worked in a joint venture office for six months with John Graham & Associates, which designed the Space Needle.
"I've been a huge fan of Mark Otsea since we brought him on in San Francisco as a summer intern from UCLA," said HOK Chairman Emeritus Bill Valentine, FAIA. "Mark was an instant hit: hard-working, incredibly bright and street-smart."
After returning from Seattle to San Francisco in 1977, Otsea found himself immersed in one of the most politically charged projects in the city's history: design of the 650,000-sq.-ft. George R. Moscone Convention Center.
Moscone Center in San Francisco
"This was an extremely difficult project," said Valentine, who worked with HOK founding partner Gyo Obata on the design. "The idea of building a large convention center in San Francisco was a contentious issue and there was tremendous local interest in the project. But Mark, even as a very young architect, seemed to get it and understand where the pressure points were. He knew how to navigate through the community issues, get along with the client and coordinate our work with consultant team members like T.Y. Lin, the brilliant structural engineer. Mark covered all the bases and helped us develop a successful project that remains a significant landmark and economic engine for the city."

After the Moscone Center opened in 1981, Otsea went on to work on HOK's corporate campuses for Sun Microsystems, Advanced Micro Devices, Nortel Networks and Novell in the Bay Area; Microsoft's campus in Redmond, Washington; two high-rise R&D facilities for Samsung Electronics in Suwon, South Korea: R3 and R4; the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (with Mario Botta) and the Asian Art Museum (with Gae Aulenti) in San Francisco; the master plan for Chep Lap Kok International Airport in Hong Kong; Boarding Area G at San Francisco International Airport; Fairmont Hotels in San Jose, Washington, DC, Dallas and San Francisco; CalSTRS' Headquarters (right) in Sacramento, California; the Monterey County Government Center in Monterey, California; the University of California at Davis Food and Agricultural Sciences Building; and the San Francisco Public Safety Building.
"It's no accident that Mark has always been assigned to our most challenging, complicated projects," said MacLeamy. "Great project managers are in demand and he absolutely is one of the best. Mark has an uncommon ability to integrate input from owner groups, regulatory agencies and user groups and to manage design teams while keeping projects within the budget and schedule. He has been a pivotal figure in the success and growth of HOK's San Francisco office."
"Mark has an intuitive feeling for how to go with the flow with creative teams," added Valentine. "Instead of trying to corral them, he walks alongside designers and helps them build consensus for doing the best possible projects. He has a sharp wit and knows how to diffuse tense situations with humor. Beneath all that, he is a selfless and very nice man."
It's not easy to get on Mark's calendar for an interview. We managed to talk to him after a meeting with his Salt Lake City Airport project team was cancelled and he found himself with a rare free hour.

Do you remember your first day with HOK?
MO: I started working at HOK in 1973 as a summer intern while attending UCLA and worked for three summers before joining full-time. In the beginning, there were about 10 people in the office. By the time I started as a full-time employee in 1976, HOK had won a commission to design the King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh and the office had grown to about 50 people.
What did you learn from working so closely with Patrick MacLeamy and Bill Valentine?
From Patrick, I learned about the need to have a strong idea and clear plan and then being able to clearly communicate with people exactly what needed to happen. I also learned the importance of being fair to everyone.
From Bill, I learned that everything we do should be about the project and the client—not about us. Be patient and always keep a sense of humor.
What do you mean by focusing on the project and the client?
Bill was adamant that our work shouldn't be purely about our design ideas and should never be about the architect's ego. It needed to be about the client and solving the challenges presented by the project. If we design the best project we can, while meeting the client's program, schedule and budget requirements, we all have succeeded. The challenge for a project manager is to help the team focus on the project and work together in a well-coordinated effort.
Right: Fairmont Hotel in San Jose
What are HOK's strengths?
It is fantastic to be able to leverage the global—sometimes I say intergalactic—planning and design resources of HOK. Nobody has more to offer clients or does it better.
HOK always has extremely talented people who really care about design, the environment, their communities and one another. When we work together as a collaborative team, we can do anything.
What's your advice for young design professionals?
Focus on doing the drawings. Some young people are more interested in the design process than in producing drawings. But at the end of the day, our team has to create a clear set of documents so a project can be constructed as the client wants it and as we designed it.
It can be scary for young architects when they haven't been given much direction and don't know exactly what to draw because they don't want to make a mistake. My advice always has been not to wait—just draw something as thoughtfully as you can for someone to react to. Once there is a drawing, you'll be surprised by how quickly you'll get input and direction. It may not be exactly right the first time, but you will be making progress.
My advice for young project managers is to understand every aspect of the design and construction process. Developing a strong technical foundation and knowledge about specific building types is critical. Project managers also need to understand how people interact. Addressing the people issues on projects can be more difficult than the technical ones. If you can do this, then great projects, happy clients and financial success will follow.
Did you ever imagine you would stay at HOK for 40 years?
I am surprised every day, but the interesting people and challenging projects keep me coming back for more.

I am very tired, and I am still under the weather, but I do love these kids.
When I ask the girls to smile at the camera, they smile and jump in the air. (?) It makes for some interesting picture taking. :)
I'm already looking forward to a nice long weekend with the family, and (hopefully) feeling like myself again!
(I am definitely not pregnant...this time. Haha. It's allergy stuff!)
Two days from now my sister will be graduating from high school, and on Saturday we had a little party for her. Shannon and I are ten years apart, so this serves as a reminder that it's been a decade since I was in high school...and well...that's just wrong! :)
Now that the girls are older, parties at the park are just a godsend. Built in entertainment. And no worries that my kids are breaking things and getting into someone's priceless stuff. Been there, done that! We enjoyed the outdoors and some delicious food with lots of friends and family.
We were blessed with really great weather, and my mom did a wonderful job putting everything together. I do NOT know how she does all that she does. One time I thought I caught a glimpse of a cloning device in my parent's basement, but I can't be certain if that is what I actually saw. Still trying to unlock that mystery.
Congratulations to Shannon! The world is your oyster. At no other time in your life will you have so much freedom. Enjoy it! Make good choices. Baha. Love you, girly. :)
I'm praying for an energy boost today. It's been a little boring around here, and moms don't get sick days. But I am still, somehow, thankful for all of the drink getting, bottom wiping, fight breaking, mess cleaning, craziness. There could be worse things. Plus, these baby blues have some miraculous momentary healing abilities:
Next time I'll try to remember to remove all of the tag parts before I take pictures of my kid in his hat. :)
Happy day!

So, now we know that a corporation is, at the most basic level, nothing more than a group of people (even if it's a group of one) banding together under some type of law or regulation, for the purpose of minimizing risk and protecting assets. You should also know by now that corporations are taxed differently than individuals, enabling the owners to keep more of what they make. Since a corporation exists as a separate entity, it has continuity in the event of the principal's death, and ownership interest can be easily transferred.
The kind of corporation you'll want to form depends on a number of factors. Are you still planning to run your net-based business by yourself, with a partner or partners, or will you be hiring employees or contracting with third parties? You may wish to consult with your tax advisor or accountant when considering which kind of corporate entity to form with your business.
This is the most common kind of corporate entity. Most major companies as well as numerous smaller ones fall into this category. Although widely used, a C-Corp structure may not be the best one for a small net-based business run by one person. The reason is that Federal and most State laws require that the operations of a C-Corporation be overseen by a board of directors and that shareholders be consulted on major business decisions. This Board of Directors manages the corporation and appoints officers to run things on a day-to-day basis.
If you plan to expand your Internet business substantially â if you believe it has a shot at becoming the next Google or Craigâs List - a C-Corporation is definitely the way to go. As a C-Corporation, you have no limit to how many shareholders you may have, allowing you to raise unlimited amounts of capital through the sale of stock. A C-Corporation is also able to deduct the cost of employee benefits (such as health insurance) as a cost of doing business. Otherwise, if you plan on staying small and intend to maintain maximum control over as much of the operation of your business as possible, formation of an LLC or an S-Corporation is a better choice.
S-Corporation â sometimes called a
âsmall business corporationâ
- is really little more than a C-Corporation
that has chosen to
operate under specific tax laws as outlined
under Chapter One,
Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code. The
initial administrative
paperwork required is the same, regardless of
whether you are forming
a C-Corporation or an S-Corporation, since this
is done at the state
level. Once this paperwork has been approved by
the state in which
you are incorporating, youâll need to
fill out and submit IRS Form
2553, also called âElection by a Small
Business Corporationâ .
With an S-Corporation, the shareholder (thatâs you) is able to pass corporate earnings and profits directly through to his/her own personal tax return. Anyone providing work for an S-Corporation (including yourself) needs to receive a wage or salary meeting âthe standards of reasonable compensation.â
Letâs face it, not everyone is into paperworkâ¦and formation and maintenance of a corporate entity requires a fair amount of it. On the other hand, itâs a relatively small matter to form an LLC. According to Noloâs Guide to Starting and Running a Small Business:
"the relative simplicity and flexibility of the LLC make it the better choice. This is especially true if your business will hold property, such as real estate, that's likely to increase in value."
That statement about property is something to think about if your Internet business is an informational website that generates income on its own, such as CraigsList or a pay-per-use site. Digital property has the same potential to rise and fall in value as real property (just ask AltaVista). Even if your website doesnât generate income directly, if youâre getting a fair number of hits per month say, 100,000 or more simply the domain name (if you have one) can be valuable.
the fact that forming an LLC is a one-step
process requiring little
in the way of red tape, you won't have to worry
about annual
meetings and keeping minutes of those meetings
in the way
corporations must do. Dividends of
S-Corporations must be distributed
among shareholders based on the number of shares
they hold,
regardless of whether or not they contributed to
the business in any
tangible way (in other words, YOU could put in
the hours of actual
labor while THEY sit around the pool waiting for
the dividend
which in theory, could mean your shareholders
may wind up with the
lion's share of profits!) With an LLC, profits
and losses are
divided up among the members in any way they see
fit. Finally, an LLC
can be owned and operated by anyone, whether
they are a citizen, a
resident alien, or another person or
corporate/business entity inside
or outside of the U.S. An S-Corporation, on the
other hand must be
owned by a "natural person" who is a U.S.
citizen or a legal
resident it cannot be owned by another
corporation or person
outside of the country.
The "Limited Liability Company," or LLC, is a corporate-type business organizational structure that is idea for small businesses and companies, combining as it does the advantages of Sole Proprietorship with the protection and tax advantages of incorporation. An LLC can consist of one person â which is very likely your case, if you are operating an online business. As an LLC, your personal assets are separate from those of the business, and therefore protected from loss in case the business should be sued for any reason.
In addition, an LLC is not taxed unless it chooses to be (see below); typically, you will pay Self-Employment tax on any profits you take out of the business.
The advantages of a Limited Liability Company:
No board of directors or shareholder meetings are required; an LLC can consist of just one person.
An LLC is an enduring entity, usually separate from the member(s), and can be passed on, transferred or sold; fewer legal complications result should the owner unexpectedly die.
Administrative paperwork and recordkeeping is easier.
Your assets are separate from those of the business, therefore you are not liable for damages caused, or debts incurred by the LLC.
Taxation is typically on profits taken out by you, not on the LLC. You may however elect to be taxed as a sole proprietor, an S-Corp or a âregularâ C- corporation; your tax advisor can determine what is best for your particular situation.
Disadvantages of a Limited Liability Company:
Several states3 levy a franchise tax on LLCs. This is essentially a fee paid for the privilege of shielding one's personal assets.
It is more difficult to raise capital, since most investors are looking toward an eventual initial public offering of stock.
Any income you receive from an LLC is taxed at "ordinary income" rates, and is subject to FICA taxes (unlike dividend or share income).
Note that last point. Currently, dividends are taxed at a maximum rate of 15%, whereas â depending on the amount â wages and salaries are taxed up to 38% and may be subject to an additional âself-employment taxâ of over 15%. In the next chapter, youâll find that there are several types of corporate set-ups, and not 0every one is right for the small, single-person on-line operation.
Members of an S-Corporation pay Medicare and Social Security taxes only on money they actually receive as compensation in the form of wages or a salary â profits received as a dividend are exempt. In contrast, members of an LLC may be liable for these taxes on all profits made. This is especially true if yours is an online business that provides professional services in the fields of health care, the law or engineering and design. If this is the case for you, itâs a good idea to consult with your account or tax advisor on what is best for your business.
Another caveat for licensed professionals residing in the State of California: an LLC may not even be an option for you, since California law prohibits LLCs from rendering professional services as an individual. Other than that, California charges LLCs a yearly tax of $800 just for doing business in that state, plus an additional annual LLC fee based on a percentage of total yearly income from all sources.
This brings us to our next issue â once youâve decided to incorporate, where should you do it? This is no small question, since the Internet has made boundaries between states â and even nations â a lot more permeable than they once were, especially when it comes to commerce. Nonetheless, if your business is a corporate entity, youâll be required to have a âdesignated agentâ as well as a physical address in each state in which youâre doing business. Fortunately, this is not as daunting a task as it may seem, and there are organizations online that will assist you in just this sort of thing for a nominal fee. Before we move on to that subject however, itâs worthwhile to consider the pros and cons of running a non-profit (503c) corporation.
Most Business Owners and especially netpreneurs are hoping to strike it rich â and if youâre one of those clever enough and lucky enough to come up with something that people will pay good money for, chances are youâll be one of them.
On the other hand, more and more people are discovering that there are things in the world to which a monetary price cannot be attached â and the value of which may not necessarily be measurable in dollars and cents. For example, the fine arts â contemporary painting or sculpture, modern classical music, and great theatre are institutions that rarely find any kind of support from commercial markets (in fact, the technical definition of âclassicalâ music is that which is primarily state-supported â something commonly done in Europe, Japan and China, but almost never in the U.S.).
If you are among those who aspire to be a patron of the arts and are content to make a modest living while doing so, a Non-Profit entity may be for you.
Also called a âNot-for profit corporation,â a Non-Profit is a non-stock entity (in other words, it cannot issue stock to shareholders) that as the name implies, is not intended to make profits. Such corporations are founded with a specific goal or purpose in mind, usually â but not necessarily â related to education, charity work or the arts. As such, they may be â and often are â exempt from many taxes and tax regulations.
A Non-Profit may certainly generate income, and indeed needs to do so in order to stay in operation. It can accept, hold and trade monetary instruments as well as tangible goods, and â despite the name â can legally make a profit â technically called ârevenueâ - on such transactions. The use of such revenue â and how much revenue can be made legally - is subject to scrutiny, however, and is tightly regulated. Since it has âmembersâ (like an LLC) rather than âshareholdersâ or âstockholders,â capital is generally raised by soliciting donations from the public, or from private industries. Depending on the purpose of your Non-Profit organization, such donations may be tax-deductible for the donor.
At this point, you may be wondering what the point is. After all, if youâre not allowed to make a profit, how is having a Non-Profit Corporation supposed to provide you with a livelihood? While it is true that a non-profit cannot issue stock nor pay dividends, it is still like any other corporate or LLC entity in that it can retain employees and provide reasonable compensation for its director(s).
Another major advantage to having a non-profit corporation â especially in the arts â is the ability to apply for government grants, such as those offered by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA). In 1995, the new Congress changed numerous laws, making these grants unavailable to individuals. However, a non-profit organization can apply for these grants on behalf of individuals, should they wish to commission a work of art.
The same is true of charitable and educational organizations. Numerous Federal and State grants are available to non-profit organizations that cannot be applied for any other way. So â what is your passion? The arts? Education? Providing affordable housing to low-income people? Historical preservation? There are even non-profit sports organizations. You wonât get rich, but by incorporating as a non-profit entity, chances are good that youâll be able to pursue activities that nourish your soul while retaining the ability to pay the bills.

The Delhi Dynamos Football Club, in its endeavor to strengthen its grassroots development programme, has tied up with Shaheed Vijay Singh Sports Complex to identify and nurture young talent in Uttar Pradesh.
Under this path-breaking initiative, DDFC will set up a state of the art football academy at the sports complex. It will be managed by the Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA), with DDFC providing all the technical support.
The MOU was signed today, with the commitment to make the academy functional from September 1, 2016.
Deepak Aggarwal, CEO of GNIDA, who addressed the press conference, looked elated and felt that Uttar Pradesh's youth needed an academy like this to harness their footballing skills.
"It is a great pleasure to partner with Delhi Dynamos. All of us stakeholders share the same vision, of developing the sport and producing future football champions from this academy. We firmly believe that the academy will contribute towards the societal, economic and cultural development of the region," Aggarwal said.
Delhi Dynamos president Mr. Prashant Agarwal expressed his pleasure about this association and said, "It is DDFC's aim to help create a strong pool of young footballers. Academies such as the one will facilitate proper training and guidance to budding young talent in the state of Uttar Pradesh. U.P. is a state that is very close to our heart and this partnership is only the start to a long fruitful association."
DDFC, a Delhi-based club which plays in the Hero Indian Super League, has shown that its commitment is towards football, rather than its own region, by looking to promote junior talent in Uttar Pradesh. The club, of course, also shares a very cordial relationship with the U.P. Government, having received a lot of support and encouragement from none other than its honorable chief minister, Shri. Akhilesh Yadav.
In fact, the team got the rare opportunity to unveil its team kit in front of the iconic Taj Mahal at the start of the Hero Indian Super League, a first in the history of Indian sport. Shri. Akhilesh Yadav also invited Mr. Gianluca Zambrotta, the newly appointed head coach of the club, to Lucknow to wish him luck for the upcoming season.
About Shaheed Vijay Singh Pathik Sports Complex
Is a world-class multi facility complex, was set-up by the GNIDA with a total investment of INR 130 Crores. Spread over approximately 40 acres, it houses an international-style cricket ground which serves as the home ground to the Afghanistan National Cricket Team. Apart from that, the complex also boasts of badminton courts, synthetic tennis courts, volleyball courts, basketball courts, a skating rink, a gym, an Olympic size swimming pool, a football ground and a 400m-athletics track and a state of the art multi-purpose indoor stadium.

- Last night I listened to The Man Who Sold The World and when I heard the lyrics, "I must have died alone, a long long time ago," I thought, "That pretty much sums up my life."

Job Performance at OPCW
The OPCW places high emphasis on performance and encourages each staff member's commitment to success. At OPCW, success in achieving our mission is underpinned by practicing our core values and finding ways every day to demonstrate the competencies necessary for the realisation of our objectives.
Our core values and competencies make up a performance standard against which each staff member, through ongoing feedback and regular performance appraisals, is evaluated. They also form a platform by which each staff member can cultivate and develop valuable professional skills. At regular intervals, each staff member has the opportunity to put together a customised work plan in cooperation with their manager.
In this section:
Core Values
- Integrity
- Demonstrates the values of the OPCW in daily activities and behaviours.
- Acts without consideration of personal gain.
- Resists undue political pressure in decision-making.
- Does not abuse power or authority.
- Stands by decisions that are in the Organisation's interest, even if they are unpopular.
- Takes prompt action in cases of unprofessional or unethical behaviour.
- Professionalism
- Shows pride in work and in achievements.
- Demonstrates professional competence and mastery of subject matter.
- Is conscientious and efficient in meeting commitments, observing deadlines and achieving results.
- Is motivated by professional rather than personal concerns.
- Shows persistence when faced with difficult problems or challenges.
- Remains calm in stressful situations.
- Respect for Diversity/Gender Equality
- Works effectively with people from all backgrounds.
- Treats all people with dignity and respect.
- Treats men and women equally.
- Shows respect for and understanding of diverse points of view and demonstrates this understanding in daily work and decision-making.
- Examines own biases and behaviours to avoid stereotypical responses.
- Does not discriminate against any individual or group.
Note: Everyone who joins OPCW is called upon to uphold and demonstrate our core values of integrity, professionalism, and respect for diversity/gender equality. Our visible commitment to these values are periodically assessed.
Competencies are signatures of success. They are the attributes and skills that are applied in realising objectives. They are what's needed to turn ideas and goals into realities. They speak of how we do what we do. They are instruments for measuring achievement.
Everyone at OPCW has the regular opportunity to work with their manager in putting together a customised set of competencies, suited to their role, that not only help to put the objectives of their job into focus, but also identify means for their achievement. Staff members take their competencies to the next level when they use them as a platform for personal and professional development. When the time arrives for taking stock of achievements, competencies serve as a framework against which performance is appraised.
Code of Conduct
The OPCW serves the international community. In addition to job performance, high standards of personal and professional conduct are expected of staff members. Read more about what is expected of an international civil servant in the OPCW Code of Conduct [PDF 74.64 kb].

I received a Ph.D. in Plant Physiology from the Public University of Navarre (Spain) in 2009 and I am currently working in the Plant-Soil Ecology group of CE3C. I have a post-doc fellowship from the Portuguese National Funding Agency for Science, Research and Technology (FCT) at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon. My research focuses on the relationship between the mechanisms of ammonium absorption and ammonium toxicity syndrome in organisms (plants and yeast).
For many years I have been involved in the study of C/N metabolism responses in plants to ammonium nutrition and abiotic stress conditions using pea plants as model system which is agronomically important, using physiological, biochemical, enzymatic and molecular skills.
As the ureic fertilizers are closely linked to ammonium nutrition, I am also interested in the urease inhibitors characterization. These inhibitors are commonly added to the new ammonium-based fertilizers. The study of urease inhibitors effects on plant physiology and N metabolism using pea, wheat, spinach plants, etc.
Finally, there is a subject of whom I have become a passionate in the three last years: the study of the natural isotopic composition as a means of study of plant physiology (nitrogen metabolism). The study of the relationship among the natural nitrogen isotopic signature, the ammonium/ammonia toxicity and the ammonium/ammonia transport in plants and others organisms (i.e. yeast and Chlamydomona algae).
I currently collaborate with the Biology of membrane Transport laboratory (IBMM) leaded by Dr. Anna M. Marini, from the Université Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium, and with the Molecular Plant Nutrition group, headed by Prof. Nicolaus von Wirén from the Leibniz-Institute for Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research, IPK Gatersleben, Germany. Both are pioneering European research groups in the study of ammonium transport systems in organisms (e.g. yeast, mammals and plants).
My current research is driven by three overarching objectives: i) Establishment of the potential use of δ15N as indicator of the N metabolism of plants. ii) To test the utility of δ15 N as an indicator of plant N status in plants grown under various environmental conditions. iii) Development of tools based on this indicator, δ15N, for determining the degree of toxicity by ammonium/ammonia in living organisms.

Marking its 70th Anniversary Season in 2013-2014, The Hartford Symphony Orchestra is Connecticut's premier musical organization. The Hartford Symphony is the second largest orchestra in New England and is widely recognized as one of America's leading regional orchestras. We believe passionately in the performance of live symphonic music and its value in the community. To that end, the mission of the HSO is to perform live orchestral music of the highest quality for ever expanding audiences, and to increase through its educational programs the understanding and enjoyment of that music by residents in Connecticut.
The Hartford Symphony Orchestra named Carolyn Kuan as its tenth music director in January 2011; she is the first woman and youngest person to hold this title. She began her tenure with the HSO in the fall of 2011.
The HSO presents more than 100 concerts annually, including the Masterworks Series, Pops! Series, Sunday Serenades, Lincoln Financial Discovery Concerts, Symphony in the Schools, Musical Dialogues, Musical Connections, and more. In addition, the HSO celebrates the 19th year of its tremendously popular summer series, the Talcott Mountain Music Festival, this summer in Simsbury.
The Hartford Symphony Orchestra was founded in 1934 and formally established as the Symphony Society of Greater Hartford in 1936. Angelo Coniglione, Jacques Gordon, Leon Barzin, Moshe Paranov, and George Heck were the Orchestra's first music directors. With the appointment of Fritz Mahler in 1953, the HSO began its Young People's Concerts and made several highly acclaimed recordings for Vanguard. In 1964, Arthur Winograd became music director and the Orchestra grew in artistic stature, performing at Carnegie Hall and other New York locations to highly favorable reviews. Under the artistic leadership of Michael Lankester from 1985–2000, the HSO received national recognition for its programming innovations, including the popular Classical Conversations and Family Matinees, as well as a series of landmark theatrical productions. From 2001–2011, Edward Cumming led the HSO to new levels of artistic excellence and innovative programming.
Each season, the HSO plays to audiences numbering approximately 110,000. The Hartford Symphony Orchestra's extensive array of Education and Community Activities serves more than 20,000 individuals in Hartford and surrounding communities annually. The Hartford Symphony Orchestra is supported by nearly 4,000 subscribers and over 2,000 donors.

Last week the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 was held. Some days earlier, the Spanish contestant Pastora Soler made some controversial statement insinuating that she was asked not to win this contest because Spain cannot afford to stage the next edition. And we quote: "Azerbaijan can afford it because we know that this is country has oil, but we do not, so we must first get out of our dire straits ".
Regardless of this controversial statement (which is curious enough because everybody knows how Eurovision Song Contest works), we should pay close attention to her words about Azerbaijan. Let's start with some data from the website of Action against hunger:
- Despite its wealth thanks to oil, 50% of Azerbaijani population lives under the poverty threshold.
- Children chronic malnutrition rate is 25%.
- 31.8% of children have low iron levels.
- 20% of its population have no access to drinking water in good conditions.
- 55% of its population have no basic sanitation.
Then, why does Pastora Soler think that Azerbaijan is a rich country? Because this country has lots of oil, which in turn generates wealth. Pastora Soler made a mistake which is common not only for contestants of such tacky international contests but also for the great majority of all of us: we often mistake GDP per capita for richness of the population.
This mistake is often reproduced in the world of sports. A typical and long debated case is Qatar, sponsoring Football Club Barcelona, which appears at the top of the list of richest countries according to GDP per capital, drawn by the International Monetary Fund. Football Club Barcelona and some supportive mass media argue that Qatar is a Switzerland-like nation of the Persian Gulf, but in fact Qatar is a dictatorship where immigrant workers (80% of its population) are exploited and women are legally discriminated.
[And to avoid resentment, we can add that Real Madrid Football Club is sponsored by Fly Emirates, the main airlines of Arab Emirates, another dictatorship with a similar situation as in Qatar, so it makes no difference...].
In short: Pastora Soler is not to be blamed because she did not do it out of malice. But we should be all more careful when talking about a country's richness or poverty.

Your backyard is supposed to be a safe haven for your pup to run, jump, and play. No matter the precautions you've taken to keep your dog protected when they're outside, other dangers exist in your yard that you may not be aware of. Keep your dog protected by educating yourself on some of the most common backyard dangers to dogs.
- Fences. You may think your fence is doing a great job of protecting your dog by keeping them contained, but fences can do more harm than good. Fences installed to perfection can still cause injury to your dog. If they try to squeeze through gaps or dig under the fence to escape, your dog could get splinters, cut their skin, or become trapped. Invisible Fences eliminate these problems while keeping your dog maintained in your yard.
- Sticks. Playing fetch with the twigs and branches that fall off of the trees in your yard is all fun and games until your dog swallows part of the wood. Splinters and small fragments of the wood can get stuck in your dog's mouth and esophagus, and larger fragments can cut the lining of the stomach or cause constipation. Avoid playing fetch with sticks to deter your dog's attention from them. Keep your yard clear from sticks by picking them up on a weekly basis.
- Sun. High humidity and excessive exposure to the sun can cause your pup to suffer a heat stroke. If you notice your dog is restless, weak, or confused, they may have been out in the sun too long. It only takes about 20 minutes for a situation like this to turn deadly. To prevent health hazards from the sun, make sure your yard offers plenty of shade for your dog to relax in. Keep a bowl of water handy when they're outside playing, particularly on very hot afternoons, and always monitor your dog's activity outdoors.
- Pond Water. If your yard has a water feature, pond scum, or blue-green algae, can cause major problems for your dog. A quick drink from the pond in your yard could result in vomiting or diarrhea, but continually drinking from your pond can cause lifelong health issues. Blue-green algae can't be treated with chemicals, but an Invisible Fence can create a barrier, preventing your dog from going near the infected water.
- Garden. If your backyard garden is growing vegetables like onions, tomatoes, chives, or garlic, your dog is at risk. These foods and spices are toxic to dogs, causing gastrointestinal irritation and damage to their red blood cells. The best way to prevent your dog from digging into your garden veggies is to grow them in an elevated garden or indoors. If those aren't an option, an Invisible Fence can deter your dog from digging for foods they shouldn't be eating.
The best protection is prevention! Keep your dog safe from harm with these backyard safety tips.

|first time seeing the ocean!
We got back from our first major vacation as a family of four this past Friday and it was absolute perfection. Both mine and Jon's parents rented this house with us in Bear Trap Dunes. We left on Friday, June 10th and drove just outside of Washington, D.C., to stay with one of my second families for the night and catch up. This served two purposes: to see the Terrell's and to give the kids a little break from driving. On the way to D.C. we stopped about once an hour and Edith only napped approximately 10 minutes that day. In her defense, we were the ones who stupidly woke her up for lunch thinking she'd doze off again afterwards. Nope. Big mistake. Hashtag never again. Elden's highlight out was a mountain tunnel in Pennsylvania. Luckily, we had bought a light-up dinosaur wand for each of them along with glowsticks so that was the best happy accident ever. The best move we made on the way out was stopping at the outlets in Hagerstown for about an hour. There was a playground and a toy store so the kids were able to get quite a few wiggles out to finish the drive.
|the ocean never got old
|eating strawberries as he picked them
|daredevil at funland
|first snow cone
|she loved it too
|sand fiends
|brave water boy
|i love him a lot
|the only decent photo of all four of us from the week
We left a day early, on Friday, because the weather was supposed to be stormy all day and miraculously pulled off the drive only stopping three times. The kids were rockstars in the car and Edith took a 1.5 hour nap. I'll write a post with tips about traveling with two toddlers because we learned a lot from this one. We are so glad we got to do this and Jon--resident ocean/beach hater--even mentioned returning to the east coast for subsequent vacations because he enjoyed it so much.

Matt Giraud
America has decided and yesterday it was Matt Giraud's moment to say goodbye.
Im a big fan of Matt.Not my early fave,but Giraud proved his prowess as a singer. I loved his powerful range,his jazzy attacks in every song..and how he slurs (kinulot nya talaga ang mga kanta at halos wala syang tinirang straight..lolz).
I was shocked to see Kris and Adam join him in the bottom 3.I must admit,he is likely to go among the three.
Apparently, I read in an E! article that Matt didn't really want to win the American Idol tilt. He just wanted to perform jazz on that stage. Sourgraping or not, I think he was able to put a mark in the American Idol history.
Now,it is down to four. I still dont know who among Kris,Adam, Allyson and Danny will bag the title as they are distinct in their own way. 3 weeks to go before America again decides on the next idol- man, i cant wait!I think it'll be Kris vs Allison or Kris vs Adam..
Adam, Danny, Allison and Kris stays afloat in American Idol 8
The refreshingly talented remaining few will perform rock 'n' roll songs under the mentor Slash next week.

I would go to C:\Program Files and delete the Mozilla/Firefox folder then download a fresh copy of Firefox and install it. All of your bookmarks, settings, and extensions are stored separately and will remain intact, so this will simply address the corrupted file(s).
Hope this helps,
I have been running Firefox for several months with no problems on this win98SE, but suddenly the program will not load. The error msg is ?FIREFOX caused an invalid page fault in module JAR50.DLL at 0167:6001134d.? This dll is part of the Firefox program.
I decided to remove Firefox and reinstall, but I cannot remove the program from Add/delete in control panel or by using the uninstall file in Firefox. Tried Ad/Remove Pro also with no luck.
I have run out of ideas---can anyone help?

About me
Hello and welcome, I'm Cath. I am an experienced, qualified counsellor. There are times in our lives, whether we are a young person or an adult, when we find we are struggling and we need someone to talk to in confidence, without the fear of being judged. I provide a warm, confidential environment, where you have the opportunity to be listened to and to explore some of the difficulties you may be experiencing.
I work with young people. I recognise and understand that teenagers and adolescents experience emotional difficulties for a number of reasons. It may be due to a change in their circumstances, such as parental divorce or separation, loss of a loved one, the pressure to 'do well', bullying, lack of confidence or just general confusion in their life.
I work with adults on a wide range of life's issues. Some of these issues include abuse, anxiety, bullying, confidence, depression, family issues, grief and loss, personal boundaries, relationship issues, self-esteem, self-harming behaviours and work-related issues, (this list is not exhaustive).
Through my previous work as a nurse and midwife, I also specialise in working with and supporting women, and their families, who have experienced loss of pregnancy at any stage (including early or late miscarriage, stillbirth or termination).
This is up to you. You never know unless you try.... and only you can decide. Counselling is there for anyone who is facing difficult times, needing support or guidance or just needing someone to talk to.
We can arrange an initial meeting at a mutually convenient time and day to give us the chance to get to know each other. Here you'll have the opportunity to explain what you'd like to gain from counselling, to ask me questions about how I work and to see if you feel comfortable with me. It is also allows me the chance to check that I am able to offer you the help that you need.
There is no obligation to proceed, but if we both feel it is right, I'll meet with you weekly for your counselling sessions at my comfortable therapy room; sessions are usually at the same time on the same day each week, and will be for 50 minutes. Please email me or use the mobile number to get in touch.
I am situated in Alresford, 6 miles from Winchester with easy bus routes from the City. Car parking is available.
Training, qualifications & experience
Prior to embarking on my counselling journey I worked as a qualified nurse, (specialising in gynaecology) and subsequently became a midwife, I also was employed within the education system offering support to children and young adults for numerous years. This, coupled with my personal experience of counselling, prompted me to train as a counsellor.
Alongside my private practice, Until recently, I worked as a volunteer, counselling in a sixth form college. I also worked with an organisation that counsels survivors of rape and sexual abuse (adults and under 18's.) Working as an integrative counsellor with core person-centred skills; this enables me to work with you as an individual, focusing on your specific experiences and needs.

Digital Television Transition
On February 17, 2009 all full-power broadcast television stations in the United States will stop broadcasting on analog airwaves and begin broadcasting only in digital.
Millions of American residents depend on television as a reliable source of information, to include emergency alerts and warnings. Citizen Corps Councils (of which CERT is a part) are urged to inform members of your community -- especially older adults and homebound individuals -- of the digital transition to ensure they take any necessary action to receive and view over the air digital signals.

QuickBooks Online Integration
Once DEAR Inventory and QuickBooks Online are connected, DEAR Inventory will become the central point of all inventory management within your business. This means that all inventory-related purchases, sales, and manufacturing will be performed in DEAR Inventory and then synchronised over to QuickBooks Online.
A Video Tutorial is available here:- QuickBooks Online
WARNING: The choice to integrate with Xero, QuickBooks Online or to use DEAR Inventory as a standalone service must be made when you create your account.
- Changing from QuickBooks Online to Xero as your accounting system or vice versa requires a completely different DEAR Inventory Account
Changing from one Xero account to another Xero account (or QuickBooks Online account to QuickBooks Online account) requires a complete data wipe - contact DEAR support to know more.
- Changing from Dear standalone to a QuickBooks Online or Xero account requires a complete data wipe - contact DEAR support to know more.
DEAR Inventory DOES support integrating with:
- Quickbooks Online Essentials
- Quickbooks Online Plus
DEAR Inventory DOES NOT support integrating with:
- Quickbooks Desktop
- Quickbooks Online SimpleStart
If you have recently updated from a legacy product or you're unsure of the version of QuickBooks you operate, you should get in contact with DEAR Systems by emailing email@example.com.
- Steps in QuickBooks Online
- Steps in DEAR Inventory
- Integration Settings
- Troubleshooting/Common Errors
Steps in QuickBooks Online
Before commencing the integration process, a number of accounts will have to be created in QuickBooks Online. You will need to create the following accounts:
- Accounts Receivable
- Accounts Payable
- Inventory
- Supplies and Materials - COGS
- Revenue Account
- Sales Tax Payable.
To create new accounts in QuickBooks Online:
- In QuickBooks Online, navigate to your company and select Chart of Accounts. The Chart of Accounts will be loaded based on the industry that you specified when initially setting up QuickBooks Online and you may find that some of the accounts may already be present. Make sure there is an account for each of the ones listed above.
Click the New button, select the category that the new account would belong to, and then select the specific account to be added.
Click Save.
Once you have added all the relevant accounts, you're ready to begin the integration to DEAR Inventory.
Steps in DEAR Inventory
To connect DEAR Inventory and QuickBooks Online:
- When creating your DEAR Inventory account or free trial account, select QuickBooks Online as your accounting system. Follow the link in the activation email sent to you. You will be redirected back to DEAR Inventory and asked to choose a password.
- Go to Integrations -> QuickBooks Online
- Click Connect to Quickbooks to be taken to the QuickBooks Online log in screen.
- Log in to QuickBooks Online. You will be prompted to let DEAR Inventory access your data and redirected back to DEAR.
- You will be directed to the QuickBooks Online synchronisation screen. Follow the link to Account Mapping and check that all your QuickBooks Online accounts have been correctly mapped. If you receive a synchronisation error, check that all the accounts have been set up correctly in QuickBooks Online as shown above.
Once your DEAR Inventory account is set up, you'll be able to locate the QuickBooks Online Integration page by navigating to the Integration module and selecting QuickBooks Online.
The QuickBooks Online Integration page will contain the details of the integration in the page header and it explains the flow of data between DEAR Inventory and QuickBooks Online.
Created in QuickBooks, sent to DEAR
- Chart of Accounts, Tax Rules and Payment Terms
Created in DEAR, sent to QuickBooks
- Purchase Orders (Optional send to QuickBooks Online)
- Bills or Purchase Invoices
- Purchase Credit Notes
- Sale Quotes/Estimates (Optional send to QuickBooks Online)
- Sale Invoices
- Credit Memos and Sale Credit Notes
Can be created in both, synced both ways.
- Vendors/Suppliers
- Customers
- Any Bill/Sale/Purchase Payments or Refunds
- Products/Items - creating inventory in QuickBooks Online and DEAR can cause inventory tracking issues, see here.
Integration Settings
Within the QuickBooks Online Integration page, you are able to control whether your integration is enabled or disabled. You can authorise your QuickBooks Online connection. You can also choose whether to export purchase orders and sale quotes to QuickBooks Online.
To complete your DEAR Inventory setup, you will need to navigate to the dashboard and here you will also need to ensure that your Account Mapping, Suppliers, Products, and Customers are completed.
Duplication of COGS entries
The specifics of QuickBooks Online inventory is if you turn on inventory tracking for the item and create transactions with this item in QuickBooks Online, COGS entries will be created by QuickBooks Online using some previously recorded amounts (presumably average cost) even if global settings are set to not track item quantity. This may cause duplication of COGS as DEAR will also send the COGS entries for the same transaction as QuickBooks Online.
To solve:
- Intuit suggest creating new items without inventory tracking (this would be obvious if global setting is turned off). Depending on the volume of your inventory we can suggest delete item with quantity tracking turned on and create new item with EXACTLY THE SAME NAME without tracking.
You should also note the product quantity tracking will not be updated from DEAR Inventory to QuickBooks Online.
DEAR Inventory will automatically post journal entries based on the processed transactions and will require the Chart of Accounts to be imported from QuickBooks Online.
Inactive Products in QuickBooks Online appearing in DEAR
Making a product inactive in QuickBooks Online will NOT deprecate nor delete the product in Dear.
To make the product inactive in DEAR:
- In DEAR, Go to Inventory -> Products -> View All
- Change the product status from Active to Deprecated
- This can also be done in bulk, see Product Management
- To Delete, on the View All screen click More -> Delete Deprecated Products
Stale Object Error
Stale Object Error : You and System Administration were working on this at the same time. System Administration finished before you did, so your work was not saved.
This error comes from QuickBooks online for the reason indicated. There are two ways to solve the error:
- Make a change to the customer and run synchronisation again.
- Change the Status of the transaction from Failed to Skipped to skip the synchronisation.
Syncing Sale COGS "Pending"
Pending COGS Sale entry won't sync
Reason 1: User has changed chart of accounts in the accounting system without syncing all DEAR transactions first.
Solution: If you made changes to the chart of accounts recently you need to tell us how to remap them back to the old account codes in DEAR. Email DEAR support at email@example.com
Reason 2: COGS transaction = 0 (for example if the purchase invoice for the items has not been authorised, or the cost of the items was set 0 during stock adjustment or stocktake).
Solution: Assign value to the stock by authorising purchase invoice or other relevant transaction.
To investigate this issue you might find it useful to use 'Movements' tab on the Product screen.
Duplicate COGS entries posted in QuickBooks Online with Quantity Tracking turned off
My Quantity tracking in QuickBooks Online is turned off however there are still duplicate COGS entries posted in QuickBooks Online
The inventory type products previously tracked in QuickBooks Online remain tracked even after the tracking is turned off. In order to rectify the issue, the old products need to be deleted and new products created.
To delete the QuickBooks Online products:
- Navigate to the product list in QuickBooks Online and make all products either inactive, deleted or non-inventory
- Once this is done please let us know so we can unlink the QuickBooks Online catalog on the back end). Do NOT re-sync with QuickBooks Online until you hear back from us.
The COGS transactions that you see posted as part of the invoice are QuickBooks Online generated and need to be fixed manually. The easiest way is to create a reversing manual journal for such items.
What will happen when you delete all products from QuickBooks Online:
We will re-set your product export with QuickBooks Online so that all current products in DEAR will be re-exported to QuickBooks Online on your next sync.
To avoid any issues:
- First check that all your QuickBooks Online products are currently in DEAR.
- Delete all products in QuickBooks Online.
- When you delete products in QuickBooks Online it is automatically renamed and this will allow you to recreate another product with the same name.
- All products in DEAR will be recreated in QuickBooks Online by DEAR when we give you the go ahead to re-sync.
