Transition and emerging economies
The transformation of economic systems from plan to market in transition and emerging economies has significant consequences not just for labor markets in those countries. The articles in this section offer summary lessons that can guide the development of institutions and labor reform policies in such countries, while also having wider relevance for other economies.

Impact of privatization on employment and earnings Updated
Workers and policymakers may fear that privatization leads to job losses and wage cuts, but what's the empirical evidence?John S. EarleSolomiya Shpak, June 2019Conventional wisdom and prevailing economic theory hold that the new owners of a privatized firm will cut jobs and wages. But this ignores the possibility that new owners will expand the firm's scale, with potentially positive effects on employment, wages, and productivity. Evidence generally shows these forces to be offsetting, usually resulting in small employment and earnings effects and sometimes in large, positive effects on productivity and scale. Foreign ownership usually has positive effects, and the effects of domestic privatization tend to be larger in countries with a more competitive business environment.MoreLess

Redesigning pension systems Updated
The institutional structure of pension systems should follow population developmentsMarek Góra, April 2019For decades, pension systems were based on the rising revenue generated by an expanding population (the so-called demographic dividend). As changes in fertility and longevity created new population structures, however, the dividend disappeared, but pension systems failed to adapt. They are kept solvent by increasing redistributions from the shrinking working-age population to retirees. A simple and transparent structure and individualization of pension system participation are the key preconditions for an intergenerationally just old-age security system.MoreLess
Does accession to the EU affect firms' productivity?
State capture and uneven infrastructure development due to foreign direct investment can outweigh productivity gainsJens HӧlscherPeter Howard-Jones, March 2019Firms in the new EU member states of Eastern Europe are more productive than those in other transition economies, but with a diminishing advantage. The least productive firms benefit the most from membership, although the situation is reversed in the case of foreign-owned firms. Foreign direct investment fails to promote knowledge and technology spillovers beyond the receiving firms. The dominance of multinational enterprises in the new EU member states enhances the threat of corporate state capture and asymmetric infrastructure development, whilst access to finance remains a constricting issue for all firms.MoreLess
Female labor force participation and development Updated
Improving outcomes for women takes more than raising labor force participation—good jobs are important tooSher Verick, December 2018The relationship between female labor force participation and economic development is far more complex than often portrayed in both the academic literature and policy debates. Due to various economic and social factors, such as the pattern of growth, education attainment, and social norms, trends in female labor force participation do not conform consistently with the notion of a U-shaped relationship with GDP. Beyond participation rates, policymakers need to focus on improving women's access to quality employment.MoreLess
The automotive industry in Central Europe: A success?
The automotive industry has brought economic growth, but a developmental model based on foreign capital is reaching its limitsLucia Mýtna Kureková, September 2018Central Europe has experienced one of the most impressive growth and convergence stories of recent times. In particular, this has been achieved on the back of foreign-owned, capital-intensive manufacturing production in the automotive sector. With large domestic supplier networks and high skill intensity, the presence of complex industry yields many economic benefits. However, this developmental path is now reaching its limits with the exhaustion of the available skilled workforce, limited investments in upgrading and research, and persistent regional inequalities.MoreLess
Defining informality vs mitigating its negative effects
More important than defining and measuring informality is focusing on reducing its detrimental consequencesElizabeth Ruppert Bulmer, August 2018There are more informal workers than formal workers across the globe, and yet there remains confusion as to what makes workers or firms informal and how to measure the extent of it. Informal work and informal economic activities imply large efficiency and welfare losses, in terms of low productivity, low earnings, sub-standard working conditions, and lack of social insurance coverage. Rather than quibbling over definitions and measures of informality, it is crucial for policymakers to address these correlates of informality in order to mitigate the negative efficiency and welfare effects.MoreLess
Effects of regulating international trade on firms and workers
The benefits of trade regulation increase when workers are mobileRaymond Robertson, June 2018Economists have shown that international trade increases economic growth, with trade liberalization and integration having characterized the last 50 years. While trade can increase national welfare, recent estimates from both developed and developing countries show that labor market adjustment costs matter. Regulating trade, defined as adding or removing tariffs and other trade barriers, is not the best way to help lower-income workers who suffer from trade-induced losses. Policies that reduce adjustment costs may increase aggregate welfare more than regulating trade flows does.MoreLess

The Chinese labor market, 2000–2016
The world's second largest economy has boomed, but a rapidly aging labor force presents substantial challengesJunsen ZhangJia Wu, May 2018China experienced significant economic progress over the past few decades with an annual average GDP growth of approximately 10%. Population expansion has certainly been a contributing factor, but that is now changing as China rapidly ages. Rural migrants are set to play a key role in compensating for future labor shortages, but inequality is a major issue. Evidence shows that rural migrants have low-paying and undesirable jobs in urban labor markets, which points to inefficient labor allocation and discrimination that may continue to impede rural–urban migration.MoreLess

Aggregate labor productivity
Labor productivity is generally seen as bringing wealth and prosperity; but how does it vary over the business cycle?Michael C. Burda, April 2018Aggregate labor productivity is a central indicator of an economy's economic development and a wellspring of living standards. Somewhat controversially, many macroeconomists see productivity as a primary driver of fluctuations in economic activity along the business cycle. In some countries, the cyclical behavior of labor productivity seems to have changed. In the past 20–30 years, the US has become markedly less procyclical, while the rest of the OECD has not changed or productivity has become even more procyclical. Finding a cogent and coherent explanation of these developments is challenging.MoreLess
One-company towns: Scale and consequences
One-company towns concentrate employment but their ability to adapt to adverse events is often very limitedSimon Commander, March 2018One-company towns are a relatively rare phenomenon. Mostly created in locations that are difficult to access, due to their association with industries such as mining, they have been a marked feature of the former planned economies. One-company towns typically have high concentrations of employment that normally provide much of the funding for local services. This combination has proven problematic when faced with shocks that force restructuring or even closure. Specific policies for the redeployment of labor and funding of services need to be in place instead of subsidies simply aimed at averting job losses.MoreLess

"Things you can rearrange"
Ixelles, Belgique
"Things you can rearrange"
a solo show by ROELAND TWEELINCKX
Opening on Saturday 4.05.19 from 2pm to 7pm
Exhibition 7.05.19 – 14.06.19
Belgian artist Roeland Tweelinckx creates objects and site-specific interventions in autonomous gallery spaces or public places. In his interventions, in which he utilises everyday materials and often duplicates reality, he subtly plays with his surroundings and our powers of perception. His work draws on trompe l'oeil references – it subverts the ordinary with discreet but precise visual and conceptual twists, creating a slight sense of confusion in the audience, while at the same time inviting a more focused look at reality.

Girls are 1-1 at holiday tournament
After a tough 38-39 loss against Waterville-Elysian-Morristown that opened their holiday tournament on Thursday, Dec. 27, the Tri-City United Girls' Basketball Team returned Friday to beat Janesville-Waldorf-Pemberton 62-45.
Coach Eric Specht said the girls started the tourney a little timid, and struggled to put the ball in the basket.
"We finished with 22 missed shots in the paint," he commented. "However, I thought we played one of our better defensive games of the season. WEM is a really nice team (I think they are 8-1 now) and we kept their offense off balance. I'm proud of how our girls played on the defensive side."
The coach called WEM "a really quality team" and added that TCU led the entire game, up until the last 26 seconds. TCU went into the half 17-14 but wound up losing by one point.
"This is a tough loss for our team," he commented. "Hopefully this is a game we can learn from to allow our squad to take the next step to beat some of the top tier schools."
Maggie Trnka finished with 15 points, 11 rebounds. Cassie Kadrlik added 7 points and Grace Factor grabbed 8 rebounds.
After a night of rest and reflection, the Titans walked on the court for the second day of the tournament, still with the WEM loss on their minds. The first half of the game reflected that, Specht commented.
"I thought we got off to a slow start. We came out as if our mind was still on last night's loss to WEM," he said.
The Titans beat JWP 62-45. However, this was after going into half-time with a 24-24 tied score and the looming possibility the game's result could be a WEM repeat.
After a mental readjustment, the girls entered the court and accomplished what they set out to do.
"We played a solid second half of basketball as we got contributions from a lot of girls. We played with much more urgency and ended the half with four 3's, shot 12/16 from the free-throw line," Specht stated. "We just played with more focus. I'm proud of these kids for taking control of the second half."
He called the results a great team win, with nine girls scoring at least four points.
Maggie Trnka led the team with 11, Courtney Whipps added 9 and Keeley Oak and Grace Factor both ended with 8.
Next action
The girls take on Jordan on January 4, Medford on January 7 and Le Sueur-Henderson on January 10.

For physical training is of some value, but godliness (spiritual training) is of value in everything and in every way, since it holds promise for the present life and for the life to come. 1 TIMOTHY 4:8 AMP
While physical exercise is important to over all health, it is not the most important thing in life. It can even become addictive.
Runners push themselves to get the "second wind" rush of adredalyn. Weight lifters and aerobics buffs do the same thing. No wonder then that the Sports Clubs are full on Sunday and churches are less attended.
Unfortunately those who pursue such things at the expense of their spiritual health will suffer the consequences in this life and the hearafter throughout eternity.
See you in church on Sunday as you determine to focus on what is important.
Forsake foolishness and live, and go in the way of understanding." Proverbs 9:6 MEV

THE 14-foot Christmas tree with lots of decors illuminated as Robinsons Angeles lighted its giant Christmas tree.
The annual tradition of lighting the Christmas decor kicked-off the line up of events prepared by the mall management.
"We have prepared a lot of exciting Christmas events in the mall to delight shoppers and make their Christmas joyous and memorable," says Robinsons Land Corporation Regional manager Jodee Paulette-Arroyo.
Around 30 children were treated to an afternoon of fun in an amusement park and fastfood restaurant. The beneficiaries also received early Christmas packs from Robinsons Angeles just before the lighting ceremony.
"The gift-giving to less fortunate children is an annual tradition of Robinsons Land, not only here in Angeles or Pampanga but all over the country. This is Robinsons' way of giving to our host communities," she added.
Ivory Music & Video added to the festive event like: Bryan Termulo, Iktus Band, The Voice Teens Zack and Fritz, and Kapampangan r&b singer Jonas David.
Jonas sang his newest song "Mamasku Ta Pampanga."
This Kapampangan Christmas song is now available and can be downloaded through spotify, amazon, and itunes.
Present during the event were Robinsons Angeles Mall manager Lei Estaris-Belmonte, Robinsons Starmills Assistant Marketing Manager Lavern Aquino, Robinsons Angeles marketing officer Daren Dumayag, Angeles City Councilor Alexander Indiongco, and Angeles City Councilor Carlito Ganzon.
Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach was so happy over the back-to-back wins of Wynwyn Marquez (Reina Hispanoamericana 2017) and Karen Ibasco (Miss Earth 2017).
"Ay, ang saya! Kasi, umpisa pa lang nung live streaming, pinapanood ko na—from start to finish talaga. At nag-alarm pa ako sa phone para hindi ko ma-miss yung live streaming nung pageant. Ay, tuwang-tuwa ako! Grabe yung excitement at kaba ko nung announcement na nung winner. At nung nanalo na siya, nanginginig ako sa sobrang tuwa! As in, I'm very happy for her."
Pia was also happy as Karen was proclaimed Miss Earth 2017.
"I don't know Karen personally, but I'm very… pinanood ko din yung pageant na hindi tumitingin sa phone, nang live streaming lang din siya. Ayoko kasi ng spoilers, gusto ko kasi yung kusang ma-excite ako. And, you know, we have to hand it to her. She answered very well, she really proved to be deserving for the crown. And I'm just really happy na in a span of, I would say mga 12 hours ba yun, we won two crowns internationally. So, proven na talaga na magaling talaga ang mga Pilipina."
Pia gave her message to current Bb. Pilipinas-Universe Ms. Rachel Peters who will be competing this November in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.
"Like I always say, you just have to keep your focus. Don't get distracted, especially ngayon na medyo palapit na yung pageant, maraming mga taong magbibigay sa iyo ng advice, malilito ka, ganyan. Pero mag-focus ka lang sa sarili mo and, first of all, most of all, enjoy the pageant. Kasi, pag natapos na yung few weeks na yun na nasa Vegas ka, hindi mo na mababalikan yun. It's not like Binibining Pilipinas where you can join again. You can only do Miss Universe once, so take as many pictures as you can and just enjoy, have fun."
After being the characters of Eat Bulaga's segment Kalyeserye, Jose Manalo (as Lola Tinidora), Wally Bayola (as Lola Nidora), and Paolo Ballesteros (as Lola Tidora) their full show was born.
How does it feel now that they have "The Lola's Beautiful Show?"
"Sa amin pagod kasi matatanda na kami, di ba? Pero gusto namin ito para happy!"
The trio did not expect that their kalyeserye segment would lead to having their own show.
Itong character namin hindi naman ito pinagplanuhan, e. Sumulpot lang. Tapos hindi rin namin alam na mae-enjoy namin."
Is it true that he had a dream guest for their show?
"Yeah!Piolo Pascual! Kasi mabait na bata 'ata iyon, e!"
We all know that Piolo is from ABS. What would he ask him? "Anong number mo?haha!" he said jokingly.
Was there a time when he, Jose and Wally got into a fight? "Wala, wala naman. Panay biruan lang."
Breaking form this character as Lola Tidora, Paolo said that he was starstruck in one of their guests.
"Yes, si Nora Aunor! First time ko kasi siya na nakausap nang ganun, pero nakikita ko siya sa labas, minsan nai-introduce, minsan nakikita ko siya sa restaurant, ganun."
When did he feel that he feels lucky in terms of his career is concerned.
"Noon pa lang naging regular na ako sa Eat Bulaga!"
As of press time, Paolo is a regular host of Eat Bulaga for sixteen years now.

Hang on - I'll get to the International Rosé Day in a minute. But first...
Have you ever been told that you're naive or unsophisticated because you like a certain type of wine or food?
I have.
In fact, it happened this past week when I filled in an online survey to see "what type of wine drinker" I am.
The answer came back from this web site – I was obviously lacking in any knowledge about wine and needed to up my game when it came to understanding wine.
I blinked.
I was offended.
Really? RRRREEEEAAAALLLLLYYYYY?????
So all that time I spent at college in a teaching winery was a waste – the chemistry, the labs, the biology, the wine making, the soil analysis, the pruning, the viticulture studies, the history, the math (yes MATH), the sensory training – it was all for naught. And then there's actually WORKING at two different wineries. And I must not forget the studying I did in Florence, Italy to pass (with merit!) the Level 3 for WSET (Wine & Spirit Education Trust) which is no small achievement. Plus all the travelling and tasting I have done in Europe, North America and Asia. Plus the studying I am currently undertaking to achieve my master level in Provence wines. And then there's the fact that I've spent a lifetime tasting and enjoying wine.
And then I giggled.
That answer was sent to me because I chose ROSÉ as the wine I like best right now.
Wow. Just WOW.
Rosé really gets a bad rap sometimes. But only here in North America, and only among unsophisticated and naive wine drinkers and wine bloggers (I really enjoyed writing this last sentence).
Rosé is trending throughout the world. When you spend time in countries like France and Spain, many of the wine bottles you see on restaurant tables are rosés! At ANY time of the year. With ANY and ALL types of food. I know. I've been there and I've seen it. And had the occasional glass of rosé myself in those restaurants (OK – maybe more than an "occasional" glass!)
In 2013, rosé represented 30% of total wine consumption in France. In FRANCE!!!!
So what do the French know that we don't?... that rosé is an extremely versatile wine... that it's easy to pair with food ranging from salads and creamy cheeses to burgers and steaks and heavy stews. That rosé ranges from the palest of pale gray to a red tone that verges on what you'd see in a red wine such as Pinot Noir. That there is a rosé for almost every food and every occasion!
Every August 14th has been designated International Rosé Day. To celebrate this day, and for the rest of the month, I'm going to be drinking rosé. Well into the fall... and well into winter. I love rosé. If you haven't tried it, start experimenting. There are so many different types out there. (And please, do yourself a favour and avoid sweet Zinfandel and other sweet rosés. Try the dry rosés that are available from Spain and France - look for regions such as Ventoux, Penedes, Rioja, Tavel, Provence, to name only a few. You'll be absolutely amazed at the flavors and food pairing options they offer.)
And best of all... come join us on one of our Wine DeTours! You'll have the opportunity to taste out-of-this-world rosés with amazing food on a wine tour that's like nothing you've experienced before.

Anyone who owns a rental property knows some renters are difficult to live with. Some renters break appliances, forget to clean, and leave piles of junk when they leave. Hauling off a renter's forgotten stuff is even more frustrating than cleaning your own junk. And trust us, Mr Junk has seen almost everything when it comes to junk left behind at rental properties.
Nobody wants to wrestle a dingy old mattress into their trunk and off to the dump. At a recent job, Mr Junk hauled away this dirty mattress that had been left behind at a rental property. We always recycle or donate old junk, so it's more convenient and more beneficial to the community to let us haul junk from your rental home.
Would you like to see this pile of stuff when you come to clean out your rental property for a new tenant? Skip the hassle of hauling and sorting, the inconvenience of taking someone else's junk to the dump, and the guilt of not recycling because you just don't have the time. Mr Junk does post-rental clean outs. You're already spending time and effort dealing with paperwork, cleaning, and finding new renters; the last thing you need is a weekend wasted on hauling away clutter left behind by previous tenants.
Mr Junk does home, garage, and storage cleanouts in metro Atlanta. If you need a rental property clean out, call our Canton junk removal service to leave your property mess-free and stress-free.

freemarket: saving your time, sanity and money
By James Allum on October 4th, 2016 in Editorial
But what about the more abstract benefits for SMEs using our straightforward currency exchange platform? Read on to discover how freemarket can drastically cut back on the man-hours hoovered up by arranging and chasing up FX payments, along with the stress and frustration that usually accompanies being ripped off.
Perhaps you have heard the phrase 'time is money', as coined in Benjamin Franklin's 1748 letter exploring the idea of opportunity cost, Advice to a young Tradesman.
"He that can earn Ten Shillings a Day by his Labour, and goes abroad, or sits idle one half of that Day, tho' he spends but Sixpence during his Diversion or Idleness, ought not to reckon That the only Expence; he has really spent or rather thrown away Five Shillings besides."
Likewise, he that can earn Ten Shillings a Day by his Labour, but instead spends half of that day trying to get a straight answer from a bank or broker on what rate and fee he will be charged for his currency exchange, half of the next day calling up trying to establish when the funds will be paid, then half of the next week kicking himself for stepping willingly into an inescapable web of red tape… well, that guy has thrown away something like 45 Shillings (feel free to adjust this figure for inflation).
freemarket offers same-delivery of funds on all major currencies, while big banks like HSBC can take up to two weeks to execute transactions. Our lean business model allows us to operate much more nimbly than major institutions encumbered by bureaucracy, and allows you to not sit around fretting over when your payments will be made; schedule a transaction with freemarket in the morning and it will be executed at midday that same day.
Perhaps you have been confused at times by the wide variety of rates and fees on offer from currency exchange services. More likely than not, this was the result of a bank or broker deliberately obfuscating the terms of your FX transaction so as to better disguise their hidden fees.
This is simply impossible with freemarket. Our fee is flat, our rates are outrageously competitive, and our customers have complete control over their own currency exchanges. Our easy-to-use online platform allows customers – once registered – to schedule and manage their payments in a matter of minutes.
Essentially, we have eliminated the unpleasant experience of shopping around for the best deal, along with the tedious and often bewildering back-and-forth of hardball negotiations with banks and brokers. Because we are completely upfront about our fees and rates, our account managers are free to concentrate on nothing more than making our customers' currency exchanges as quick, painless and inexpensive as possible.
Perhaps you've heard us mention our one, low fee before. Perhaps you've heard about the unbeatable access we provide to institutional rates. Perhaps you've heard you can save up to 75% on your FX fees with freemarket.
No need to keep repeating ourselves.

The easiest way to get through the cold fall and winter months is with stylish clothes. These fall wardrobe classics will take you through this season in the most elegant way possible. To make sure that you have all you need to look fabulous this fall, scroll down.
A sleek #bag for every occasion is something every woman needs. Find one bag that is big enough for your weekdays, one cross-body #bag that is perfect for weekends when you want to look casual and one silver #clutch that will be perfect for going out.
Wet and chilly days are ahead of us, so you will certainly need a pair of rain #boots. Look for a pair that looks great with both jeans and skirts. Another fall wardrobe staple is a coat, and since this is a clothing item that you will wear most often during the cold months, it is important to find a #stylish and timeless one, such as a classic camel or clean white.
A tailored #blazer can make any outfit look much more #sophisticated, and this is just the right time of the year to wear it. You can wear it on weekdays with a blouse under for a professional #look and with a t-shirt and jeans on weekends.

This past week I received in the mail from a friend, Dr Curt Daniel, a copy of Arthur Henry Kirkby's 1956 PhD thesis, "The Theology of Andrew Fuller and its Relation to Calvinism" (University of Edinburgh). Of course, I had heard of this thesis but never seen it. The impression I had been given of it was that the work was second-rate. I probably derived this impression from the articles of E.F. Clipsham, "Andrew Fuller and Fullerism: A Study in Evangelical Calvinism." The Baptist Quarterly 20 (1963-64).
But let me go on record and say that the work is excellent and well executed. Have read to page 143 or so and Kirkby ably sustains his argument that Fuller was a Calvinist of the stamp of the great Reformer. I would not follow Kirkby in his depreciation of the influence of Edwards on Fuller, but am so glad to have this work.
I am deeply in your debt, Curt. Thank you.

Where Roger Ebert Draws the Line/
-->Where Roger Ebert Draws the Line
Roger Ebert:
Are we doomed to submit to humiliation every time we fly? Perhaps you can argue that the terrorists have won a victory just because of the cost and nuisance of airport security. Not exactly. They have generated vast numbers of jobs for security agents, and inspired millions of dollars in contracts for scanning machines and so forth. Indeed companies have spent fortunes to lobby for their machines to be required. One of the big supporters of scanners is Michael Chertoff. Under his face on the news it always says, "Former U.S. Homeland Security chief." It should say, "Board Member of Companies Selling Scanners."

Texas vital Records
Texas Vital Records
Texas Vital Records
The Office of Vital Records is responsible for maintaining all state-level vital records created, administered and maintained by the state of Texas regarding a person's most important life events. These records include such documents as birth certificates, marriage licenses and death certificates and are compiled and stored in a permanent central registry that state entities use to develop statistical analysis of its population.
Birth Records
A birth certificate is a vital record that documents the birth of a child. The term "birth certificate" can refer to either the original document certifying the birth or to a certified copy or representation of the original document. The state of Texas has developed two periods of collecting the birth records: as early as 1873 and in 1903. In 1873, some cities and towns in Texas authorized the registration of births through the clerk's offices. For a brief period from 1873 to 1876, the county recorders also recorded all birth records that occurred in the county perimeter.
The state of Texas implemented a statewide registration of births requirement beginning in 1903 when the Texas Department of Public Health was established.
Death Records
A death record is most likely a copy of the information contained in a person's death certificate. The state of Texas recognizes two major periods of collecting and gathering death records. In the 1880s, records were gathered from the clerk's offices, which at that time were entitled to register all birth records that occurred in their county perimeters. Staring from 1903 when the state of Texas implemented a statewide registration requirement of all death records, they were then collected and registered to start in 1903 when the Texas Department of Public Health was created.
Marriage/Divorce Records
A marriage/divorce record is issued by a government official only after civil registration of the marriage/divorce occurs. Prior to 1836, only the Catholic Church could legally solemnize marriages. As a result, much Protestant marriage records are listed in the Catholic records. From 1837 to 1966, the county recorders issued marriage licenses and kept marriage registers. Copies of the records can be obtained by writing to the clerk of the county where the license was issued. For information from 1966 to the present, all marriage records are collected and stored by the Bureau of Vital Statistics. The Family History Library has acquired copies of marriage records from many county courthouses from as early as 1837.
Why Vital Records are Available to the Public?
The Texas Public Information Act is a series of laws incorporated into the Texas Governmental Code that serve to ensure the public is provided access to information held by the state government: Texas State Library. The laws are analogous to the United States Freedom of Information Act, which guarantees accessibility of information held by federal government agencies to the public and aims to ensure disclosure of court records and other public records to the public.
What Does Vital Records Access mean to You?
The Texas Public Information Act is a series of legislative acts that have been incorporated into the Texas General Code in Title 5, Subchapter A, Subtitle 552. The act is intended to guarantee public access to government information in the interest of providing transparency of the government to the people it governs.

Former Manchester United legend Eric Cantona has paid tribute to Anthony Martial's impact at the club and compared him to Brazilian striking great Ronaldo.
The 20-year-old French international, who signed from Monaco last summer for £36million, has been one of the few success stories in a frustrating season for United scoring 17 times
Martial scored a late winner against Everton in the FA Cup semi-final to book United's place in the Saturday's final against Crystal Palace.
Cantona admits he has been impressed with his compatriot's exploits this season and likened him to arguably one of the best forwards the game has seen in former Barcelona, Inter Milan and Real Madrid star Ronaldo.
The Frenchman, who won four Premier League titles at Old Trafford, was asked by United's official site if he had been impressed with Martial and replied: 'Yeah, he is very mature for his age. He's a similar kind of player to…Ronaldo, the Brazilian Ronaldo. He is as strong as him. He is skillful. He wants to score goals. He has good vision.'
Cantona also believes United is the perfect place for Martial to develop his career as the club has a proven track record in bringing the best of young players.
'I think in Manchester it is a great club for young players,' the 49-year-old film star said.
'When you are in an academy and also when you are 18-years-old, 18, 19 or 20-years-old, you need to go and play for a great team and go and work with people who will help you because you are still a young player
'As Ronaldo did. Ronaldo the Portuguese. He came and played for Manchester United and Ferguson. He had opportunities to win trophies but also Ferguson helped him to become the player he is today.
'I think he was very clever to choose Manchester United. I think if you go to Real Madrid at 18-years-old, you score 20 goals or you are out. You will not have a manager to help you improve as a young player.'

Images: Is this a massive mound on the Flint River?
GPS Coordinates: 32°55'50.8″N 84°31'05.8″W
Natural geological features can sometimes fool you. They seem to be man-made, but then turn out to be flukes of Mother Nature. On Google Earth imagery, this geological feature just looks like an odd hill between the Flint River and a low mountain ridge. However, when viewed with high resolution ERSI satellite imagery, this five sided pyramidal form is highly suspicious. It is perfectly aligned to the solar azimuth. There is a terrace on the ridge immediately the east of it. There are stone cairns on the ridge above it.
This pyramidal form faces THE COVE, an mysterious Shangri-la like valley, which is cut off from the rest of the world by the eastern end of Pine Mountain and the Flint River Gorge. On the slopes of the Flint River Gorge are hundreds of stone cairns and some stone-walled agricultural terraces. In THE COVE are several mounds and stone cairns, plus numerous Native American village sites.
Although located only a few miles north of the Fall Line, the Flint River Gorge contains the scenery and plant life of the Blue Ridge Mountains, over 100 miles to the north. Like the Nacoochee Valley in Northeast Georgia, THE COVE is considered to be one of the most sacred places of the Creek People.
It has been inhabited continuously by mankind since the Ice Age. Clovis Points points, beautiful Swift Creek pottery AND sophisticated "Mississippian Culture" artifacts are abundant. A band of Creek Indians, associated with one of the principal leaders of the Creek Confederacy, were able to hide out here, when most Creeks were expelled from West Georgia. Their descendants still live in the region and are theoretically eligible for Federal Recognition.
During the past year, with the support of Access Genealogy and donations by three People of One Fire subscribers, I have been intensely analyzing all of the known Native American archaeological sites in the Chattahoochee-Flint-Apalachicola River System. The maps, satellite images, architectural drawings and reports will soon be posted online so Native Americans in the Southeast will know where these sites are. This will enable you to both visit these legacies from the past and protect them from destruction.
Just this past week, I observed in horror as four satellite images over a period of five years documented the complete leveling of a town site with multiple mounds on the Lower Flint River. In 1997, an archaeology class from the University of Georgia documented the town's fortification ditch, mounds and ceremonial ponds. They gave the town's ruins an official archeological site number then kept their discovery a secret. The professor soon moved to a university in another part of the United States and has now retired there. I am not sure that the property owner even knew what they had discovered.
Then five years ago, an agricultural commodities corportation leased the land to grow corn to make into ethanol. Its contractors first filled in the town's fortification ditch. They then leveled the mounds and finally filled in the ceremonial ponds. Undoubtedly, this bulldozing effort was in multiple violations of the Native American Graves and Repatriation Act, but in reality, there is no one "watching the chicken house" nowadays in rural areas of the Southeast, except Native American descendants.
We are running out of time!

RICHMOND, Va., -- Richmond Animal Care and Control (RACC) officers are searching for whoever dumped a sick and injured dog on the side of the road in a trash bag.
Director Christie Peters said a Shih Tzu mix was discovered in a garbage bag on the side of Midlothian Turnpike and was brought into the shelter late Thursday night.
"[The citizens] showed up here with a dog that had been found in a garbage bag that was still in the garbage bag in their car," Peters explained.
Nearly 100 percent of the dog's skin was infected including both of its eyes. The dog, that the shelter named Annabelle, is estimated to be five years old and also has poor teeth.
"She has been treated terribly in the past. Obviously, no one has cared for her in a very long time," Peters stated. "This neglect has been months and months and months in the making."
Peters said Annabelle was fortunate to be alive. The Shih Tzu was the first dog found in a garbage bag brought in alive to the shelter. Peters said most dogs found in bags are already dead.
Annabelle is incredibly sweet and playful despite her appearance, Peters said.
"Her little body is crawling with infection and needs immediate medical intervention," RACC wrote in a post that's gone viral on Facebook. "We just can't believe she is still alive."
Officials are looking for anyone who recognizes the dog or anyone who knows anything about the people connected to her.
"Please share this picture far and wide in an effort to uncover something that might lead to finding the person(s) responsible for this heinous crime," they continued.

How old were you at your session? 23
What made you decide to book a session? A boudoir photo session was on my bucket list, and I wanted something to help cope with post partum depression after having a baby.
What was originally holding you back from booking a session? Expensive and would be out of my comfort zone
What were you most nervous about for your session? That it was out of my introverted comfort zone and that I should wait until my pre-baby body is back.
How did you feel about yourself before your session? Dealing with body image issues and a new body change after having a baby.
Describe your experience. I was so excited that I came overprepared. Emily helped relax some nerves while she spent 1+ hour on hair and makeup. I also got to pick out items to try on and use for the photo session. There were so many good pieces I wasn't even sure I wanted to use what i had brought! Jes came and made things right and we created a mood and outfit choices that best fit me. The music and good laughs helped make the session so much fun!!! I didn't want it to end.
How did you feel about yourself after your session? Confident and sexy.
Were you nervous before your viewing session? YES!
How did you feel about yourself after seeing your photos? I was speechless as I wasn't sure she had the right girl up there. She captured many aspects of me I had never noticed before that was beautiful.
What would you tell anyone interested, but maybe hesitant, in book a session of their own? It's totally worth the investment and gift for a special loved one in your life.
How was working with Jes and Emily? I feel like I have some new friends. They're awesome.
Will you be doing another session? I would love too
Anything else you want to add? Thank you for your art of boudoir photography and having me be a part of it! My husband and I just love seeing the artistry and professionalism in the wall hanging and albums! Most importantly, thank you for empowering women to be confident, know that beauty is a fact, and helping me know that I am always beautiful. Love you guys!

Exhibition: Modigliani Unmasked
Venue: The Jewish Museum
Dates: Until February 4th, 2018
The exhibition puts a spotlight on Modigliani's early drawings. They were made shortly after he arrived to Paris in 1906, when the city was still roiling with anti-Semitism after the long-running tumult of the Dreyfus Affair and the influx of foreign emigres. Modigliani Unmasked exposes the ways Modigliani responded to the social realities that he confronted in the unprecedented artistic melting pot of Paris.
While you're at the Jewish Museum make sure to stop for brunch at Russ and Daughters! It's a New York institution and one of the most delicious spots in the city. This traditional, family-owned, New York Jewish-European deli, specializing in smoked fish, caviar, fresh bagels and other delicacies. Russ & Daughters at the Jewish Museum, is the 3rd location in addition to their original deli at Houston Street and a restaurant on the Lower East Side.
Exhibition: Generation Wealth [Retrospective of Lauren Greenfield]
Venue: ICP (International Center of Photography)
Dates: Until January 7th, 2018
The retrospective of photographer Lauren Greenfield at ICP encompasses 25 years of her documentary photography. This show reflects stories about corruption, beauty, body image, fantasy, competition, and excess. It was originally shown at the Annenberg Space for Photography in Los Angeles and has now made its way to the ICP in New York City.

Let's get this out of the way: there are plenty of reviews about Moneyball right now. I'm not writing this because I feel the need to express myself, but because there were a few things I think some reviews missed.
First off, it's a very good movie. It's not particularly accurate, but it's a well-told story. All of Moneyball, from the Sandy Alderson A's to the Billy Beane years, is condensed into one season. Alderson isn't mentioned. The idea is that Moneyball didn't exist as a concept until Beane hired Fake Paul Depodesta (Peter Brand, played by Jonah Hill) from Cleveland. If you have serious problems with this, don't go see the movie.
What probably should've happened was renaming all of the characters except Beane. Scouts particularly don't look good in this, but they serve a very important purpose: what Beane was doing was going completely against the grain. The book had it because Lewis couldn't describe sufficiently the different levels of team building and so took it out on the scouts; the movie had it because there wasn't enough time to expand on the universal nature conventional team building in the game. For that, I forgive it.
The movie does pound away at how different this concept is from anything anybody had done before. Whether or not that's true is irrelevant because it's the crux of the story. At some point, Beane and Peter Brand have to be completely alone to further the story and the director Bennett Something and Brad Pitt did a great job of isolating Beane from the rest of the universe, including Peter Brand who's the person Beane brings into his universe. There are many beautiful shots of empty stadiums, Oakland more than others, and Beane sitting in the seats by himself. There's one scene in particular in which Beane is standing at the Oakland Coliseum watching the game, frustrated again, and Brand sees him. Brand is seeing the game by himself as well. Brand doesn't say hi because they're both separated by distance in a swarm of people–who would warmly embrace them if they knew who they were. But they don't because the GM and assistant GM are mostly anonymous pencil pushers.
The story tends to amble a bit, but for a purpose, not unlike Catcher in the Rye. This sets up the ending which I won't spoil for you but does draw some interesting questions out of the story. What's the point? Why are they doing this if their success is only the ALDS? The philosophy of the story winds up right there in the heart of the ending: this isn't about money–and dang it if the guy who played John Henry didn't absolutely nail the monologue at the end–it's about finding success in places where success isn't supposed to be. It's about creating something that defies convention and, of course, finding the market inefficiences. As Beane says in the movie, it's hard not to get romantic about baseball.
Naturally there's going to be shortcuts taken when a book is adapted into a movie and Moneyball is no different–but Moneyball did a few things perfectly. Beane does drive around the parking lot in circles–and instead of laughing, you feel his frustration. He also works out (alone) while the game is on and occasionally unmutes it at the opportune times to hear "A-Rod has scored again for the Rangers, making it 6-0 in Oakland," and so on. Pitt's acting carries these moments.
Brand, though he's definitely not Paul Depodesta, is the perfect combination of numbers guy and MLB-office rube. Though he's got some bright ideas, it's clear he doesn't have an understanding on the social relationships required to handle the job. It's a stereotype, sure, but like other things in this story, it serves a purpose: Brand is us. We're getting a sexy look into the behind the scenes of running a major league baseball team and it's kind of horrifying. There's a lot of frustration. There's a lot of anger. There's very little support and a lot of criticism. There's a lot of emotions for a position that's supposed to be void of it. It freaks Peter out a bit and he apologizes a few times for things he shouldn't apologize for
On top of all of this is the cinematography and directing, where there's these gorgeous shots with low stadium lighting in slow motion. They're there to remind us that these guys are doing what Brand thought they'd be doing and this is why they're undervalued. That although there's some self-doubt and lots of questions from this new mode of team building, they're ultimately right and it takes some time to prove it. It all culminates with Scotty H. doing his thing on Game 20 and it's beautiful.
Keith Law had a lot of complaints about the movie. A good deal of them were correct, some were wrong, but the one I disagree with the most is that the story doesn't work when the movie can't decide to be a character construct of Beane and a story about the Oakland A's. I can see where he gets that, but the story works because of its ending; the character of Beane works for the story; and the movie as a whole was very, very good.
Definitely go see it. You won't regret it.

There are lots of examples of this in the httpd source code. When a directive is parsed, and the directive was parsed successfully, the parse will return NULL, and the config will continue onto the next directive. When a directive has a fatal error in it, and you don't want to continue, return a string containing the error message you want to give to the end user explaining why that particular line is wrong. httpd will automatically stop config file parsing at that point, and return the fatal error you just provided.

The perfect test of your creative brief
In an earlier post, I asked and answered the question, "How do you know when you've written an inspired creative brief?" I have another thought on this subject.
As a direct-response creative director and copywriter, I believe in testing the creative I produce. Test and learn is a de facto strategy.
So it stands to reason that the ideal test of a creative brief, inspired or otherwise, is to, you know, test it.
Try this if you dare:
Put two creative teams to work on the same project. One with a creative brief. One without.
Okay, I can already hear some of you snickering.
"Yeah, most of the time what passes as a creative brief is really no brief at all. That's no test."
I can also hear the senior creatives laughing.
"We end up saving the suits' butts because the briefs they give us aren't worth the paper they're written on, so we just figure it out."
Fair enough. I've been in that exact situation many times.
So here's the catch:
Try this test using junior creatives. The ones who haven't endured poorly written or mediocre briefs. The ones who haven't cut their teeth on tough assignments.
Give one team no brief, just a few minutes of oral instructions.
Give the other team a well-written creative brief.
Then see what happens.
Even intrepid juniors without a brief will figure things out. They may even surprise you.
But why put anyone through that hassle when a creative brief can do the heavy lifting for them.
By the way, that wasn't a question.

Posted in Movies
By Cody Wirosko
Since the year 2000 the film industry has been struck by one actor that has played pivotal and diverse roles, not only in dramatic features but also in controversial documentaries. Joaquin Phoenix emerged into the acting scene in the 1980's and 1990's in minor roles before his breakout role as Commodus in Ridley Scott's Academy Award-winning film Gladiator. This earned him an Oscar nomination for best supporting actor and sparked his career into one of the most followed, and now one of the most controversial of the decade.
He later stared in Signs, The Village, Hotel Rwanda, and as the hero firefighter in the 2004 film Ladder 49. He emerged into fame in 2005 through his most well known role as Johnny Cash in Walk the Line, starring alongside Reese Witherspoon, recording the films soundtrack, earning a best actor nomination, and winning a Golden Globe for the role.
Perhaps all these roles have been surpassed by his recent actions. In 2008, Phoenix announced that he was retiring from the film industry at the age of 35 in the prime of a successful acting career to become a rapper. This decision formed into a social controversy when he appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman on February 11, 2009. Sporting a new eccentric personality, Phoenix behaved incoherently and was mostly unresponsive to Letterman's questions about his final feature film, Two Lovers. Since then, he has moved along with his rapping career, starring in Casey Affleck's documentary I'm Still Here, which profiles Phoenix's retirement and rap career.
A bombshell hit the industry when Phoenix announced that the documentary and his retirement was all a hoax, and the documentary I'm Still Here was actually a film profiling the effects of the media and modern society on the movie industry. Phoenix appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman once again last Friday, formally apologizing for his behavior on the show in 2008. He wanted publicity to spread, thereby making the film relevant. The cause for the film was Phoenix and Affleck's interest in "reality" TV programs. Phoenix expressed the intrinsic idea that when people think something is real, it doesn't matter how ridiculous it may seem. With this idea in mind, Phoenix came up with then notion to prove this fact by "retiring" from a prestigious acting career at age 35 and becoming a rapper. Though the movie nearly jeopardized Affleck's career, his hoax proved Phoenix's theory.
There is one inexorable fact from these recent occurrences in Phoenix's career: Joaquin Phoenix has become one of the most pivotal and dynamic actors of the decade, and this profound actor will continue to play and imperative role in the movie industry for years to come.

It was a great event for a great organization. The actor and comedian Joel McHale hosted the benefit. You might recall McHale was a walk-on tight end for the Huskies in the early '90s. He got in a few digs at the Cougars Friday night, and volunteered that he's a big fan of new UW coach Chris Petersen.

Jaw Disorders
The jaw joint is also known as the 'temporomandibular joint', or 'TMJ'. It can be felt by placing your fingers just in front of your ears, and opening and closing your mouth. The joint allows the jaw to open, close, and move to the side and forward. It plays an important role in jaw functions such as talking, chewing and yawning.
A TMJ disorder may affect one or both joints, often causing pain and limiting jaw function. Symptoms usually arise in early adulthood, but children and the elderly can also be affected. Most symptoms of the TMJ disorders are mild and do not need treatment. While the cause of a TMJ disorder is often unknown, various factors can aggravate TMJ disorder, such as: missing teeth, grinding or clenching of teeth, emotional or physical stress, injuries such as fractures or dislocations of the TMJ. TMJ disorders in different people can cause different symptoms that may vary from mild to severe pain.
As TMJ disorders are often temporary, simple treatment methods are used whenever possible to help reduce symptoms and restore jaw function. We will involve you in preparing a treatment plan and may call upon other healthcare professionals if necessary. A well-designed treatment plan may address both physical and emotional factors. Effective treatment should lessen or relieve your pain, restore your jaw function, minimise any noises from your jaw joint and even enable you to carry out your normal daily activities.

While 2007 may not set a record, it is close to 2006's dubious record of 100 journalists killed in the line of duty, which was the most savage year in the history of modern media. So far this year, 91 journalists have died, with Iraq again contributing the most, according to International Press Institute's Death Watch. India, which had no deaths, still ranks a low 120 out of 169 in the Worldwide Press Freedom Index, near the end of countries deemed "normal" for the media.

America's ToothFairy volunteers like Samantha have used all kinds of creative ways to expand the impact of their Smile Drives. Girl Scouts of Orange County Junior Troop #4581 hosted Christmas caroling events where they "caroled for smiles," collecting oral care products from house to house. A group of high school students with HOSA: Future Health Professionals in South Dakota visited all of their local dental practices, requesting and collecting donations. By the end of their Smile Drive, they had collected more than 26,000 products, many of which were distributed to children on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.Which Foods May Be Bad For My Mouth And Why? for more information.
Volunteers and businesses in the Charlotte, NC, community, where America's ToothFairy is headquartered, have been especially supportive. The Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department, Coca-Cola Consolidated, the American Burger Company, Wells Fargo, and many other businesses participated as collection sites. Community members pitched in by dropping off oral care products at the "Smile Drive Thru."
When Smile Drive Charlotte concludes, more than 50,000 toothbrushes will be distributed to local schools and nonprofit organizations serving children in need. More than 40,000 of them will be distributed to the 78 Title 1 Schools in the Charlotte area. By stocking the schools' hygiene closets and equipping teachers with products for their students, the Smile Drive is helping ensure every child has access to a primary tool for tooth decay prevention—a new toothbrush tooth scaler australia.
Though the Smile Drive is emphasized during February, National Children's Dental Health Month, Smile Drives can be held at any time throughout the year. America's ToothFairy provides a free toolkit with free resources and tips for promotion. Learn more about how you can participate at smiledrive dental lab supplies australia.org.
Ms. Malmgren, executive director of America's ToothFairy: National Children's Oral Health Foundation, has more than 15 years of leadership experience across a variety of industries. She began her career in dentistry in 2006, serving as director of operations for the Sheets & Paquette Dental Practice and the Newport Coast Oral Facial Institute. In 2011, she relocated to Charlotte, NC, where she joined the America's ToothFairy team and later assumed the role of chief operating officer. As executive director, she aims to continue to expand the organization's role as a valued resource provider for nonprofit clinics and community partners delivering oral health education, preventive services, and treatment for underserved children.

'Urduja' keeps strength, may become tropical storm in 36 hours
Tropical Depression Urduja has maintained its strength as it moves slowly over the Philippine Sea, according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa).
In its 11:00 p.m. bulletin on Tuesday, Pagasa said that Urduja might intensify into a tropical storm within 36 hours.
So far, no tropical cyclone warning signal has been raised.
Urduja has maximum sustained winds of up to 55 kilometers per hour (kph) and a gustiness of up to 65 kph near the center.
The tropical depression was last tracked 415 km east-northeast of Hinatuan, Surigao del Sur.
The state weather bureau estimated the tropical depression's rainfall amount from moderate to heavy within its 300-km diameter.
"Scattered to widespread rains is expected over Visayas, Bicol Region and Caraga within 24 hours," Pagasa predicted.
Pagasa advised fishermen and those with small boats not to venture out over the eastern seaboard of Bicol Region, of Eastern Visayas and of Caraga due to moderate to rough seas brought by Urduja.
The weather bureau also advised the public and the disaster risk reduction and management council to take appropriate actions and monitor its severe weather bulletins. /atm

HAMILTON, Bermuda--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Triton International Limited (NYSE:TRTN) announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary, Triton Container International Limited ("TCIL"), entered into a $1,000,000,000 term loan facility led by PNC Capital Markets LLC, ING Belgium SA/NV and MUFG Bank, Ltd. as Joint Lead Arrangers. The proceeds from the facility will be used to refinance existing term loans and reduce borrowings on existing revolving credit facilities and for general corporate purposes. The facility has a maturity date of November 30, 2023. Pricing consists of a margin over LIBOR that varies based on the rating of TCIL's senior secured debt. TCIL's senior debt is currently rated BBB- by Standard & Poor's resulting in an initial margin of 1.50%.
"We are very pleased to have concluded this important financing," commented Brian M. Sondey, Chief Executive Officer of Triton International Limited. "This term loan allows us to reduce our interest expense, extend the duration of our debt and continues to position us to take advantage of attractive investment opportunities."

homemade baked sweet potato fries
Try making your very own sweet potato fries! Not only does this save money, but it allows you to control how they're made so you know what you are putting into your body. Our bodies do so much for us, so we should consider thoughtfully what we feed them. Plus, making your own recipes is rewarding! I find I appreciate what I'm eating much more when I know the time and effort that went into making and preparing it.
Making sweet potato fries is super easy! Just slice a sweet potato, coat a baking sheet with a thin layer of olive oil (or try avocado oil or coconut oil!), and put the slices on it. You can add a pinch of salt and/or vinegar if you'd like and can get creative and add other spices or cinnamon or maybe some herbs. Usually I bake them for about 20 minutes or until crispy.
While we're at it, let's substitute something healthful in for ketchup. Why not humus? Or mustard? Or salsa? Or tahini sauce? It's your dish, do with it what you will!
This is just one example of how you can make a healthy substitution for a snack, while keeping the delicious taste! Eat up!

April 2, 2015: New York State Bar Association Names Angelo T. Cometa Award Winner
April 2, 2015: New York State Bar Association Names Angelo T. Cometa Award Winner
Russ Bleemer and the Monday Night Law Program of the New York City Bar Association have been honored with the State Bar Association's 2015 Angelo T. Cometa Award.
"The Monday Night Law Program has helped tens of thousands of low- to moderate-income New Yorkers the past 25 years," said New York State Bar Association President Glenn Lau-Kee of New York City (Kee & Lau-Kee).
"Under Russ Bleemer's guidance, the program has played an important role in trying to close the access-to-justice gap that leaves an estimated 80 percent of the civil legal service needs of low-income New Yorkers unmet," said Lau-Kee, who presented the award to Bleemer at the Association's House of Delegates dinner in Albany on March 27.
The award, sponsored by the State Bar's Committee on Lawyer Referral Service, recognizes individuals or groups in New York that demonstrate an extraordinary commitment toward advancing the goals of the Lawyer Referral and Information Service.
The Monday Night Law Program, created in 1990, offers free legal consultation to people whose income exceeds poverty guidelines, but are unable to afford private counsel. About 130 attorneys volunteer to staff the Monday-night clinics. Each year, the program helps nearly 1,000 New Yorkers.
"Russ and the Monday Night Law team help people help themselves," said Damaris Solis Padilla, deputy director of the New York City Bar Association's Legal Referral Service. "Russ does his best for our clients and demands the best from his volunteers."
The award is named for Angelo T. Cometa, president of the State Bar between 1990 and 1991. During his presidency, he advocated for increased compensation for judges and adequate funding for the Interest on Lawyer Account Fund. He also led the Bar's successful effort to oppose a proposed sales tax on legal services.
Under his leadership, the State Bar created its Lawyer Assistance Program, Pro Bono Department and what is now known as the Department of Law Practice Management, all in 1990. In 2007, he was honored with the inaugural Angelo T. Cometa Award, named to recognize his leadership of the Committee on Lawyer Referral Service. Cometa passed away in 2014.
The New York State Bar Association, with 74,000 members, is the largest voluntary state bar association in the nation. It was founded in 1876.

Ask Marilyn Features
I have been a reader of "Ask Marilyn" since your first column. The column used to have some interesting reader-participation contests and other features that you no longer have. For example, there was "So, What's the Question?" in which you gave an a short answer such as "The speed of light" and invited readers to send in humorous questions that had that answer. Also, you had "What Would YOU Say?" in which you gave the first part of a famous quotation and asked readers to send in humorous completions of it. Additionally, you had "GoodWords" where readers would trace a path through letters arranged in a grid in order to fill in a sequence of letter blanks to give an answer to a clue suggested by an illustration in the puzzle. There was the feature called "WordTeaser" where you showed an obscure word, and readers chose from one of four possible definitions you gave for it. Also, a feature called "P.S." had short humorous observations from you. Why do you not have any items like these anymore, other than Numbrix? I, for one, would love to see some reader-participation contests again. And the WordTeaser would be great for vocabulary-building.

|Re: Application Server startup failed
|Sun, 18 Jan 2009 18:20:34 GMT
I have this problem often on my windows development machine. It's due to the corba service needing port 1050 for a name server. Windows allocates ports from 1024 upwards for things like web browsers and this port may be in use already. If you go to a command prompt (Start>Run.. and type cmd) you can type the command "netstat -b". This lists the ports in use and the "-b" switch lists the applications they are allocated to. Find what is using port 1050 (and 1099) and shut it down temporarily. On my machine it is usually Thunderbird or Firefox. Once Geronimo has started you can restart this application. It should then be allocated another port as 1050 (and 1099) will now be in use by Geronimo. axiez wrote: > The application server started without any problem when I retried.
