RATIONAL AG is the worldwide leader in both sales and innovations in cooking technology for both large and commercial kitchens, and in the field of haute cuisine, with world market share that lies close to 54%.
In the year 1976 the German firm RATIONAL introduced their first combi-steamer by placing a steam generator into a common convection oven. Ever since then the company keeps developing their appliances by investing significant amounts on research and development facilities, while in the year 1986 they first worldwide introduced the gas combi-steamer. RATIONAL AG is the worldwide leader in both sales and innovations in cooking technology for both large and commercial kitchens, and in the field of haute cuisine, with world market share that lies close to 54%.
The CLIMAPLUS COMBI ® line that was completed by introducing the Cleanjet patented system in 2000 has signaled the beginning of a new dimension in the modern cuisine. Adding to the very innovative technology the genius software makes also the most complicated cooking procedures a very easy task almost by the touch of a button.
The new development of the company SELFCOOKING CENTER® was introduced in 2004 to create a new era in cooking. SelfCooking Control®-SCC-automatically detects product specific requirements, the size of the food to be cooked and the loaded quantity. Cooking time, temperature and the ideal cooking climate are individually calculated and continuously adjusted to achieve the result you want.
SCC sensitively monitors and optimizes the cooking process 3600 times an hour. Food is cooked exactly the way you wish- even overnight- and the results are reproducible every time.
SCC offers 7 cooking modes for Meat, Fish, Poultry, Bakery, Food containing Eggs, Side dishes, Regeneration. The user has just to select the way of roasting (e.g. steaming, grilling e.t.c.) and how well done the result should come out (e.g. medium-well done e.t.c.). The new model of Self Cooking Center® White Efficiency® offers even greater productivity and energy saving by introducing shorter cooking times & baking in multiple levels with accuracy (Efficient Level Control®). Clean Care Control® on the other hand makes sure that cabinet and boiler remain clean and safe at the end of the day.
The newest range with iCOMBI PRO is setting new standards in culinary reality. Even more efficient, intelligent and economic has still more to offer: superior energy consumption, production times, cooking in multiple levels more precisely (iProduction Manager). The i Care System at the same time ensures more hygienic results at the end of the day and even more the salt constraints in boiler. Also the triple glass pane allows an extra 10% energy economy, while LED lighting makes easier supervising of the unit from a distance
Following models are available:
With iCΟΜΒΙ Classic line you can become the owner of a robust unit with lots of value added.
This line offers three basic modes, steaming, hot air and combination. The line also offers, additional functions:
- Steaming at 100°C
- Hot Air at 30-300°C
- Combi-steaming at 30-300°C
- Finishing
Meanwhile Clima Plus makes it possible for the continuous control and regulation within the cabinet. In this way every complex recipe can be executed while storing of programmes is possible. Combi Master also offers automatic cleaning programmes with the use of tablets and a USB port for HACCP data processing & updating to the latest applications.

Today's 5.9 mile walk took my pastry-loving pal and me to North Beacon Hill, the International and the Industrial Districts. After talking with some friendly neighbors who were out walking their dogs, we started our walk near Katie Black's Garden, admiring its beautiful design. Then we walked south along the streets closest to (but well above) I-5. The area is a mix of older single family homes and newer multifamily dwellings.
Delite Bakery. Our croissants were quite large and what they may have lacked in flakiness, they more than made for with large quantities of yummy fillings. We were fueled to continue our walk but first we went into the Beacon Hill Light Rail Station and admired the artwork before boarding a train to the International District.
Seattle Police Support Facility before crossing the Holgate overpass back to Beacon Hill. On the Beacon Hill side of the overpass, we found ourselves at the starting point of the Mountain to Sound Trail.

When the Braves entered the offseason, they realized they will need to sign a backup catcher. Just about everyone figured David Ross would be back. The 35-year-old veteran backstop has spent the last four years in Atlanta and throughly enjoyed his time, and he can still contribute with the bat in a pinch.
When word came that Ross had signed a two-year deal with the Boston Red Sox on Saturday, it came as a big surprise to Braves Country.
It's not that replacing Ross will be impossible to do; it's that his departure only gives general manager Frank Wren yet another thing to do this winter. The team is already searching for a center fielder and likely a left fielder, and there are still a couple of questions with the starting rotation and bullpen.
As Mark Bowman of MLB.com tweeted over the weekend, the Braves have already begun speaking with various free agent catchers. It seems likely the club would sign one of these catchers for a year or two.
Brian McCann will be coming off shoulder surgery and is expected to miss a few weeks at the start of the season. Given the amount of games McCann typically has off throughout the year due to ailments and normal rest, Wren will have to lock up a reliable backup both defensively and with the bat.
The Braves could also elect to trade for a backup similar to the way they did for Paul Janish last June, although that seems less likely.
The loss of Ross is a substantial one for Atlanta, but not one they cannot overcome. Look for Wren to find a new backup catcher sooner rather than later as he continues his search for two impact outfielders.

Behind every good child there is a good mother and behind that mother is a great mentor.
President Kim Il Sung called a national meeting of mothers decades ago.
He attended the meeting and made a historic speech there. While looking at the participants with affection, he referred to the devotion of all mothers across the country to their children. And he gave important instructions on the education of children, saying they assume enormous responsibility for bringing up their children as pillars of society.
No special methods are needed to educate their children properly, he said, citing examples one after another to explain that the best way is to educate them to follow the examples which have been set in the country at present.
All the participants in the meeting know the story about the medical workers who saved the life of Pang Ha Su, a boy who had suffered a serious burn, and those about Kil Hwak Sil and Ri Sin Ja, he said. He noted that if all children are educated to follow these good examples, they would surely become good people.
The President was really a great teacher of all mothers, who gave important instructions on how to educate children by putting his heart and soul into making mothers fully aware of the honorable duty they assume for the times and revolution.

Following on the heels of Halo Infinite's gameplay reveal, we got our first look at State of Decay 3 at the Xbox games showcase, alongside confirmation that it is, indeed, real.
What we saw was no more than a CG trailer, but it gives us a taste of a very cold world filled with hordes of zombified wildlife. The trailer kicks off with a woman sitting beside a campfire sharpening an improvised crossbow bolt. A wolf approaches, she lets out a guttural scream, and it retreats from sight. Later, during the day, she's hunting on a snowy hillside, and sees the wolf being eaten by a deer. Looking through her crossbow scope, she sees the deer raise its head, and we see that half of its face has rotted off – blimey.
We've known that State of Decay 3 for quite some time. Back at E3 2018, Microsoft revealed a host of studio acquisitions that included State of Decay developer Undead Labs. Speaking to Eggplante, Microsoft Studio's head Matt Booty confirmed everyone's desire to make State of Decay 3 happen.
"In the case of Undead Labs, we absolutely want to go make State of Decay 3," Booty says. "That is a clear goal. That studio will have some other incubation, they'll work on some things, but this is a State of Decay 3 team."
"When we first started working on State of Decay, we had a much bigger game, a much more persistent online game, and I know that Undead Labs will get there eventually, but by bringing them into the Microsoft family.
"I think we're able to accelerate that and get us there sooner which is great."

On Labor Day weekend, Electric Zoo 2017 ("The 6th Boro") brings another lineup of international EDM talent to Randalls Island for an end-of-the-summer dance-extravaganza. Now in its ninth year, the event has become one of the most explosive, most essential staples in the global electronic music fest circuit. The schedule is stacked with big names, so we've narrowed down our favorite acts to help you plan accordingly. Check out our picks below, crack your glow sticks and get ready to rave.
RECOMMENDED: Full guide to Electric Zoo 2017
1. Yellow Claw
The Dutch DJ trio consisting of "Bizzey," "Nizzle" and the less excitingly monikered "Jim Aasgier" makes an eclectic pop-club medley (equal parts trap, moombahton and hardstyle) that stands out among a crowd of genre-zealots.
2. The Black Madonna
This Chicago-based scene-maker (born Marea Stamper) has long ruled Smart Bar, the city's most sacred dance institution. The longtime local champion has recently broken out into global stardom via her vocal queer-feminist politics and exuberant disco-house sets. Expect her to bring the crowd to a spiritual fervor.
3. Zedd
The DJ born Anton Zaslavski has come far from making his name remixing Skrillex and touring with pop stars like Lady Gaga—now he's organizing fests with the former (his ACLU benefit mini-fest earlier this year), and releasing his own top-charting pop hits with the likes of Alessia Cara. Zaslavski's been busy lately, but you can be sure his Zoo Fest set will be running at full throttle nonetheless.
4. DJ Snake
You've heard this guy's production fingerprints all over the radio: Major Laser's "Lean On," Lil John's "Turn Down for What," and his Bieber collaboration "Let Me Love You." That slithery chopped-vocal sound—you know the one—has become nothing short of iconic, and for good reason: Snake has an endless talent for building the perfect pop hook.
5. Armin van Buuren
Holland's gift to trance music citizens of the world, Armin van Buuren has been guiding the international stage for decades. From his radio show "A State of Trance" (which just passed its 800th episode!) to his Armin Only Concert series, AvB has remained trance royalty. Heck, the guy counts the Netherlands's king and queen among his gigging audience.

My first supervisory job came to me in 1982. I didn't have any say over the salaries of the two people who reported to me day-to-day. One was male, one female. I just gave assignments and edited copy. My boss at the time, who'd once run a printing press, commented on why the publishing industry hired a lot of women: "They work cheaper."
His tone added, he didn't endorse this condition, but merely accepted it as a dreary cosmic constant.
The latest of many, many studies of the male-female pay disparity came yesterday from the The Wall Street Journal. Reporters there analyzed Census Bureau data on pay for professionals like doctors, financial advisers, even judges and magistrates. They found women … work cheaper. It quoted numerous economists and academics, including from Harvard, who have studied this issue and concluded no one really knows why or what causes the pay disparity. Probably no single, definitive answer exists.
The story also pointed out that even among compensation managers, women on average receive lower pay than men — this in a profession where they know what everyone in the organization earns!
New to civil service? Check out Federal News Network's New Hire Guide, brought to you by United Healthcare, to provide insights and pointers to first-time feds. (Pssst: It includes health and life insurance cheat sheets, too!)
In the federal government, because people work in pay grades, there's less disparity between men and women on equal GS levels. If a manager wants to discriminate, he or she can do it by withholding performance bonuses, promotions or plum assignments, but not with basic salary.
Maybe the only other place where everyone gets the same pay is in minimum-wage jobs.
But is bias or deliberate discrimination the reason women doctors, physical therapists and pharmacists are paid less? It would be glib and easy to say so, but likely incorrect, or at least not the full explanation.
The discrimination answer has its adherents. For instance, the Institute for Women's Policy Research states flatly, "Outright discrimination in pay, hiring, or promotions continues to be a significant feature of working life." But Harvard economist Claudia Goldin told NPR last year, she doesn't accept discrimination as the major cause except in specific cases. Goldin cited the "high cost of temporal flexibility" as a big contributor to the pay gap. In some high-end professions, you work your tail off for long hours and get a big pay day, Goldin said. But if more women opt for the flexibility to care for children or elderly parents, or make different work-life trade-offs, they'll end up making less. That is, the job may be the same but the work isn't.
Some studies show recent graduates all doing about the same in salary, but also show the gap appeared to widen as people progress deeper into their work lives.
Whatever the cause, the pay gap is persistent. A Forbes article last year detailed the male pay advantage even in Hollywood, where actress Jennifer Lawrence wrote about it in a newsletter. She blamed her own lack of negotiating skills. This, too, is widely cited as a factor: women aren't skilled or assertive enough in demanding higher pay. And get this — Forbes, citing the Annenberg School at the University of Southern California, reported women were only 28 percent of the characters in 2014's top 100 grossing movies.
One Obama administration gambit to try to even out the pay gap is to propose transparency rules from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, so companies have to disclose what everyone makes. That approach pre-supposes discrimination as the principal cause and would bring on federal enforcement power. That's a simplistic, political approach that would burden businesses, engender litigation and probably not move the needle much. Pay discrimination on the basis of gender is already illegal. It's unrealistic to think that every business in the United States is deliberately flouting the law.
One body of thought says the whole pay discrimination idea is but myth. Christina Hoff Sommers, scholar-in-residence at conservative think tank the American Enterprise Institute, wrote in Time back in 2014, "The bottom line: the 23-cent gender pay gap is simply the difference between the average earnings of all men and women working full-time. It does not account for differences in occupations, positions, education, job tenure or hours worked per week. When such relevant factors are considered, the wage gap narrows to the point of vanishing."

The question won't vanish. No one advocates unequal pay in equal circumstances. People, jobs, and circumstances in an economy like that of the United States have literally infinite variables. Yet, you rarely see a roll-up where men make less.

In the latest edition of our weekly feature with Maryland racing analyst Gabby Gaudet, she plays a Pick 3 and scopes out the featured Maryland Juvenile Futurity.
The skinny: The final Maryland stakes race of 2014 features a dozen Maryland-bred two-year-olds going 7 furlongs.
Notably: The two horses with the lowest morning line odds — Stonebriar (8-5) and Ghost Bay (7-2) — are both maidens.
Gabby's take: "I think this is a good race, but unlike Friday's Juvenile Filly Championship, I think it's a little less wide open."
[boxify cols_use ="3″ cols ="6″ position ="right" box_spacing ="5″ padding ="3″ background_color ="gray" background_opacity ="10″ border_width ="1″ border_color ="blue" border_style ="solid" height ="160″ ]GABBY'S PICK THREE TICKET
- Race 7 – 1, 4, 7
- Race 8 – 6, 7, 8, 11
- Race 9 – 2, 4, 5, 6, 8
- Ticket cost ($0.50 unit): $30[/boxify]
SCOPING OUT THE JUVENILE FUTURITY[su_list icon="icon: check"]
- The particulars: 2yo, Maryland-breds, 7 furlongs
- Conditions: Stake, $125,000 purse
- Top Selection: #11 Stonebriar; Two Punch gelding is winless in five tries but has finished in the triple three straight, including last-out second in the restricted Christopher Elser Memorial at Parx Racing, in which he was a dead-game second after dueling throughout… The third-place finisher that day, Nasa, returned to win a stake at Parx… Owns field's best Beyer, an 80 in the Elser, but Gabby points out, "Those Parx Beyer speed figures are often inflated when horses come to Maryland, and they don't always run to what the figs say. But Stonebriar's saving grace is who he's run against and how well he's run against them." … Also was third, behind the very good Golden Years, in the Maryland Million Nursery… Tim Keefe trainee has the speed to find a good trip — might be the fastest of all, in fact — and the class to get the job done here… Bottom line: A standout, and the pick.
- The Longshot: #6 Take Achance On Me; Forestry colt enters off a maiden score and, says Gabby, "is one who's going to improve with distance, and he may like 7 furlongs or even further"… Jason Egan trainee has made his own trouble in his two starts, hesitating before leaving the gate in his debut and then breaking far outward in his second start… Shows a solid turn of foot and made a quick move to contention in last start before winning under a confident ride… With Trevor McCarthy injured, Jevian Toledo picks up the mount… Bottom line: A horse on the improve who could jump up against these.
- Don't Sleep On: #7 Ghost Bay; Maiden Ghostzapper colt has finished third in each of his two starts to date… Last out, Larry Murray trainee finished ahead of three who returned victorious, including Take Achance On Me… Has shown no early speed at all going six furlongs but has a pair of solid works since last race, including a bullet half-mile in 48 1/5 seconds a week ago, fastest of 57… Figures to be running late but will need to kick it in gear sooner than prior starts… Jockey Forest Boyce returns from her winter Fair Grounds base to take the mount, one of just three she has on the day… Gabby says, "He looks like a horse who's getting better, and I like that he improved in his first race on a fast track"… Bottom line: A live runner who will be on the ticket.
"Good luck!"

Congress on Wednesday accused the BJP with seeking to spread "more lies and false dreams" in its "Vision Document" for the state ahead of the February 27 assembly elections.
The BJP's vision document is expected to be released by Union defence minister Nirmala Sitharaman here on Thursday
"Tomorrow (Thursday), BJP will release its Vision Document. But the question is whether there is a need to release another document when they have not been able to achieve anything that was promised in the 2014 Vision Document," Congress spokesperson Gaurav Gogoi told reporters here.
"Therefore, what are they going to release tomorrow? They will only release more lies and false dreams and create more frustration among the people of Meghalaya," he said.
Gogoi who campaign in few constituencies of Shillong city, termed the promises given by the BJP-led NDA government and the Prime Minister in terms of providing jobs to the youth a "big lie".
"The PM has realized that he has signally failed to provide jobs to the youth, which explains why he keeps diverting the nation's attention from jobs to cow, Ayodhya, Hindutva and Nehru. He swiftly moved from giving employment to self-employment, making it clear that the BJP is unable to create jobs or meet aspirations of young Indians," Gogoi said.
Gogoi claimed that it is only the Congress that can fulfill the aspiration of the young people in Meghalaya.
He said that since 2014, only 74 start-ups applications have been approved for availing tax benefits, and 80 per cent out of 33,000 start-ups, have not benefitted in any way from Start-Up India Mission.
The NDA government, according to him, has added just 1.35 lakh jobs in eight labour-intensive sectors in 2015, compared to 9.3 lakh jobs that were created in 2011 during the UPA government's time.
"The make in India has proven hollow and unable to create jobs. Even when the world was undergoing recession, the UPA government had in 2009 managed to create 12.56 lakh jobs, but it has declined to just 2 lakh in 2016," Gogoi said, quoting the labour bureau figures.
Stating that the economy during the tenure of the UPA government was growing at 7 per cent, Gogoi said, even when the world was undergoing recession during 2008, the Indian economy under UPA continued to be resilient and those were truly the "achche din" for India.
Gogoi said that one thing the BJP is serious about is to tell the people "what they should eat, what song to be sung that the BJP wanted to impose on the freedom of the youth."
On the BJP's statement that the Congress is communalizing this election, Gogoi said, "The BJP needs to answer why in Madhya Pradesh pastors and Christmas carol goers were beaten up, Good Friday was celebrated as digital day and Christmas Day as good governance day. Is this the way you respect people?"

Fragile Finitude
A Jewish Hermeneutical Theology
University of Chicago Press 2021
Perhaps no scholar has exerted a more decisive influence on the study of Jewish thought and theology over the past half century than Michael Fishbane. Continuing his recent engagement with Jewish theology, in Fragile Finitude: A Jewish Hermeneutical Theology (University of Chicago Press, 2021), Professor Fishbane articulates a four-fold matrix of theological thought and inquiry that addresses the modern person in all her complexity and perplexity, charting a path toward deep encounter, and deep meaning, to be found through engagement with life, text, and life as text.
Michael Fishbane is the Nathan Cummings Distinguished Service Professor of Jewish Studies at the University of Chicago Divinity School
David Gottlieb received his PhD in the History of Judaism from the University of Chicago Divinity School in 2018. He is the author of Second Slayings: The Binding of Isaac and the Formation of Jewish Memory (2018). He will begin work in the summer of 2021 as director of the Jewish Studies program at the Spertus Institute for Learning and Leadership in Chicago.

The World Aids Day founded in 1988 is the first-ever global Health Day marked.
It is being observed every December 1st, to refocus attention on Human Immune Deficiency Virus HIV and Acquired Immune Deficiencey Syndrome, AIDS, to show support for those living with HIV and commiserate with those who have died from an AIDS-related illness.
The theme for this year's cerebration is "Global Solidarity, shared responsibility, dragging the world's attention on the COVID-19 Pandemic on health and how the pandemicaffect lives and livelihoods.
According to reports, over 103,800 people are living with HIV in the U.k and 38,000,000 estimated people globally have the virus, while 35, 000,000 people have died of HIV/AIDS, making it one of the most destructive pandemic in history.
Some medical practioners have advised the public to continue to protect themselves from being infected with HIV/AIDS.
Speakin to our reporter, Fubara Miebaka Amadi on World Aids Day Dr Hillary Kelvin, Dr Iyeneomi Ransom daka and Dr Isesoma Gbobo described HIV/AIDS as an infection caused by human immune virus stressing that its transmit through shared objects and most especially through sex urging people to get awareness and get screened.
They said people should always check their status and be faithful to their partners and use condom in order to reduce the virus circulation but pointed out that young people who are yet to marry should abstain from sexual immorality.
They equally said people should be dedicated to their spouse without jumping from one person to the other to avoid infection.
The respondents call for more public enlightenment and sensitization campaign to create more awareness and also urged the public to take advantage of free screening that is available at almost all the health centres and clinics.

With Measure M's fate on the horizon in less than 2 weeks and the update of Metro's Long Range Transportation Plan approaching, it's a good opportunity to talk about the use of public funds to help people get from one place to another.
Last week, we had the pleasure of attending the UCLA Lake Arrowhead Symposium, an annual invitation-only event attended by over 100 planners, policymakers, senior policy analysts, business executives, elected officials, and university faculty from around the country. This year's symposium, "Paying it Forward: Investing in Sustainable Mobility," hosted by the UCLA Lewis Center, the UCLA Institute of Transportation Studies, and the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs, was an intimate, informative, and well-curated event.
Here in beautiful Lake Arrowhead for @UCLALewisCenter symposium on Investing in Sustainable Mobility pic.twitter.com/OGlCmXXT4J
— Investing in Place (@InvestinPlace) October 17, 2016
Investing in Place attended the symposium to listen and learn about the latest transportation trends and to learn how to apply these best practices on the ground-level with our community partners.
After a refreshing and rigorous retreat with this fun group, we learned 3 key things that may be useful to our friends and colleagues advocating for a better transportation system:
- "How do we plan for equity?" asked several presenters, including Therese McMillan from LA Metro, Genesee Adkins of the Seattle Department of Transportation, and Brian Taylor of UCLA. When talking about autonomous vehicles, infrastructure planning at the ports, or about transit-oriented development, planning for equity — ensuring that transportation policy and investment outcomes benefit those at the very bottom of the economic ladder first — should be the center of all our policy discussions. During a discussion on autonomous vehicles, there was a lot of talk about "heaven" and "hell" scenarios. Brian Taylor of UCLA put it aptly, when thinking about transportation policy of any kind, "how does the public sector steer us toward heaven?… and how can we pay for it?" For Investing in Place, the concept of planning for "just growth" — ensuring policy outcomes are both inclusive of everyone and ensure economic prosperity — is at the heart of our vision for Equity Opportunity Zones in Los Angeles County.
- "We need to be better at telling our stories," said Kurt Luhrsen, Vice President of Planning at Houston METRO. We agree. When Houston re-envisioned its bus network, transportation planning officials challenged themselves to start from scratch and asked the community and frequent riders for their input. In Los Angeles, our hardest hit communities know the solutions to their mobility problems — we hear often it's about reliable and frequent access by bus, bike, walking, or train to their jobs, it's about safer streets and crosswalks for their children and family getting out of work late, and many other stories about accessing basic services and amenities (See our First 5 LA recap in Lancaster and Palmdale). Our role in transportation — as public servants, philanthropists, community organizers, or advocates — is helping to uplift and honor those stories from people on the frontlines (our LA2050 proposal with Team Friday, USC Program for Environmental and Regional Equity, and Impact Hub LA in a nutshell), and to help solve people's transportation and mobility problems through pragmatic policy and effective infrastructure planning.
- "Riders of transit are not at the voting box," said one presenter on a panel titled, "Local heroes: Strategies for more sustainably financed communities." There's a very clear divide between what voters (who are typically more white and affluent) are willing to support versus what transit-dependent populations actually need. One presenter from out of California acknowledged, "Sales taxes are about the worst. But what's the alternative?" Our opinion? Investing in Place believes building genuine partnerships across sectors — business federations, places of worship, workforce development agencies, early child education groups like First 5 LA, and many more — is absolutely crucial in making transportation work for everyone. For instance, we have to do a better job of engaging career development groups that work with people who experienced incarceration. In an example that Brian Taylor provided, he mentioned how having affordable, accessible, and frequent transportation options to get to a job was the number one predictor of whether or not individuals experience recidivism and go back to prison. This was a similar conversation we had with our colleagues at LeadersUp, where they mentioned access to affordable transportation is one of the biggest barriers for their job seekers. When looking at how to fund our transportation "heaven," voting is one part of the solution — but so is visionary local and inclusive leadership based on principles of equity.
Fantastic convo w/ @ImpactHubLA member, @LeneeRichards of @Leaders_Up. Access to affordable transportation is barrier for their job seekers
— Investing in Place (@InvestinPlace) September 7, 2016
To continue the conversation on equity, telling our community's stories, and on visionary leadership to strengthen our neighborhoods, we invite you to our next event on November 14th with great speakers, guests, and a casual reception. We hope you can join us.
(Last thing, what would a Lake Arrowhead retreat look like without a little outdoor fun?)

text: We are often asked, "What type of student is a fit at your school?" While there is no one-size-fits-all description, our students are typically those who have average to above-average intelligence but struggle with social skills and social communication. Because Westview is a school first, the ability to participate and make progress in an academic curriculum is important. We refer children with severe emotional and behavioral issues to programs with a more therapeutic environment.

Why Reps Should Be Using LinkedIn for Sales More Often
Updating and using LinkedIn has become a bit like flossing your teeth. We are encouraged to do it every day, it seems like a good idea, but the benefits may not be readily apparent.
It takes some discipline, habit and a little bit of time. I often hear from our sales training clients that they know they should be using LinkedIn for sales, but they don't have the time, knowledge or motivation to leverage the tool.
I sympathize with this challenge, and in fact I came up with a list of reasons that you shouldn't use LinkedIn in your sales efforts. For every reason not to use LinkedIn, there is a compelling counterpoint that may encourage us to spend a bit more time with it.
1) You know that none of the 500M+ people on LinkedIn are prospective customers
LinkedIn has become the largest professional network and claims more than 330 million members, on their way to a goal of three billion. It is the de-facto standard for business connections. Chances are pretty good your next big client is on LinkedIn, perhaps with a bit of effort you can find them there.
2) You have all the business you can handle
Perhaps you're so busy taking large orders and turning down more work that you don't have time for LinkedIn. Congratulations – stop reading this article and keep doing what you're doing. Unless of course there's some chance this might change in the future.
3) You prefer cold calls over warm calls
LinkedIn can give you visibility to second and third level connections (depending on subscription). Your connections can provide insight, information and potentially introductions to those prospects you want to speak with and sell to.
4) You already know everything there is to know about your prospects and potential buyers
Using LinkedIn for research is one of the most important and significant features you can exploit. Not only can it help you locate that particular title and prospect within a target account, but you can find key pieces of information to help you connect, build rapport and engage with a new target customer.
5) You feel that your incomplete LinkedIn profile represents you well and makes you mysterious
A photo with your LinkedIn profile has been shown to increase the chances your profile will get viewed by 11-14x. That's a pretty good return on a few minutes of time – but please use a professional photo and not the one from your college reunion or your last fishing trip.
6) There aren't any additional contacts within your existing accounts who could buy something from you
LinkedIn for Account Management is becoming a bigger and more important component of a Key Account Manager's job. Connecting to every person you meet within your key accounts yields you hundreds of second level connections within that account. These connections may be the next big sponsor, coach or buyer for your product.
7) You can keep all your professional networking contacts in your head, including their updated contact information
LinkedIn does a unique job of keeping you updated where people are and what they are doing. Jobs, titles, emails and employers change, but since LinkedIn is updated by the individual it is often the best source for current contact information. A client of ours recently closed their biggest deal of the year just because they congratulated a former client on their move to a new company, which resulted in a call back, a proposal and an order.
8) You're afraid that sharing your knowledge in groups and status updates makes you look too smart
LinkedIn is a simple equation – you get out what you put in. Contributing to groups and status updates (that are not self-promoting sales messages) allows you to demonstrate you know your field and are willing contribute to the industry dialogue. People notice and will engage. Pay-it-forward and don't expect immediate pay-pack.
9) You prefer to keep your professional networking activity to monthly dinner events and annual industry shows
LinkedIn and other online forums have become an extension of monthly and annual networking events. In person events are still important and a great way to engage face-to-face, but why not continue that same interaction every day in the LinkedIn group associated with that meeting?
10) You're done learning all there is to know about your industry and target market
Connecting with thought-leaders and following discussion in industry groups allows you to stay connected to the pulse of your industry. I'm always amazed at the insightful and often provocative opinions of LinkedIn members in groups and online discussions. I may not agree with every post but it provides a unique education to what people are thinking and what topics are important.
11) You don't need another edge over your competition
If you're beating your competition every time, then great – keep it up. However if you're like the rest of us, you're always looking for a way to be more competitive. LinkedIn can help you prospect, research, position and build your reputation in ways that can help you beat your competition. It's not a cure-all or magic bullet, but then again neither is flossing. Sometimes you just have to do it.

When paging through a splendid, friendly volume like the new Getty publication Books: A Living History by Martyn Lyons, it's natural to wonder if his work is an expression of enthusiasm or elegy.
All of human history has been shaped by books in their various forms, and for ages, the human life of the mind has been unthinkable without them. Yet, the printed book is under pressures it's never felt before, and for the first time in its 500-year history, it is beginning to look endangered.
They've survived despite many and obvious design flaws. The earliest books were cuneiform tablets created by the ancient Sumerians, probably to store the records of temple accounts and financial transactions, they were scarcely portable and not amendable, and their private ownership could only be very limited. In ancient Egypt, Lyons speculates, probably only one per cent of the population could read. Durability was sacrificed for lighter weight and greater manipulability when papyrus and vellum replaced stone, but fire `and damp became dangers, and ownership was still dear. Roman scholars like Cicero and Statius could amass collections of books in the form of scrolls ("ancient Rome was saturated with writing," Lyons tells us), which were easy to store and duplicate but cumbersome to read (try it sometime - you'll marvel that any ancient had the wherewithal - to say nothing of the wrist-strength - to become well-read). With the advent of the codex in the second century AD, the book as modern western audiences recognise it came into being: a stack of facing pages bound at the left-hand margin. These too began as precious (and often physically ponderous) objects, made at great cost for relatively few users, but at last a form had been created that could be produced, transported and annotated with comparative ease. "The scroll had to be held in both hands," Lyons points out, "whereas the codex liberated the reader to use his or her spare hand to take notes or to hold a drink."
From those earliest bound books, Lyons, one of the foremost working historians of book history and a very genial guide, takes readers on a tour of the incredibly colourful and varied history of his chosen subject (the colour part is infinitely aided by the hundreds of shrewdly chosen illustrations throughout). There are short inserts on entertaining niche topics such as "The Life of a Scribe," "The Book of Kells", or the 17th century "Dutch miracle" - referring to the brief window during which Holland became a "publishing powerhouse". There are mini-dissertations on sacred Buddhist texts, The Tale of Genji, the ever-expanding complexity of atlases, the Inquisition, and the fascinating print histories of such works as Don Quixote and such authors as Sir Walter Scott. As his narrative moves forward, Lyons reaches the Enlightenment and the advent of a predatory and revelatory new animal on the book scene: "Until the early 19th century, the jobs of publishing, printing and bookselling had not been distinguished and many individuals combined all three functions. Now the publisher had arrived ...
"Successful publishers were self-made entrepreneurs with creative skills, independence and an appetite for risk-taking," Lyons recounts, pointing to the mid-19th century rise of such influential figures as the Levy brothers in France and the publishing houses of Macmillan, Murray, and Longmans in Great Britain, as well as Karl Baedeker's famous travel guides in Germany. The adoption of business models and the proliferation of printing technology led to the spread of bookstores and the rise of circulating and lending libraries - often looked upon as a mixed blessing at best: "Despite the elegance of the buildings, local residents did not always relish the prospect of a public library in their neighbourhood, as it brought working-class and black customers into sedate middle-class districts."
Always, Lyons' story moves closer to those very same working-class readers. A general per capita rise in discretionary spending income on the part of so many populaces in the East and West in the wake of the Renaissance helped suddenly cheap, mass-produced printed books find their way to a far greater audience. In modern times, as Lyons notes, publishers such as Hachette, Verlag, and Penguin made a speciality out of affordable paperbacks designed to reach a wider audience than books had ever known. "The financial success of the paperback revolution," Lyons writes, "lay not in the inexpensive cover and binding but in the huge economies of scale that could be achieved from long print runs."
In the final third of the book, such modern-era phenomena as the British publishing firm of Mills & Boon are given the prominence that, for good or ill, they deserve. "Hundreds of unknown authors produced Mills & Boon fiction," we're told, "and very few of them are remembered: they wrote to a formula and the publisher's name defined the collection." Likewise the incredible explosion of Japanese manga titles in recent years (30 per cent of the total output of Japanese publishers, with the most popular titles selling millions of copies weekly), the readers of which are famously insatiable, giving rise in the 1980s to all-night "manga cafes" where patrons could consume the latest chapters until the sun came up.
Pamphlets, comics, chapbooks, atlases, encyclopaedia - the device welcomed all content. This form was so stable that the invention of the printing press and line-printing only strengthened it. But as Lyons' history moves into our own present day, a shadow begins to stretch over it.
Like a time-lapse version of real-life events, he's no sooner chronicled the rise of the mega-bookselling chains such as Chapters, Barnes & Noble, and Borders - chains that dozens or even hundreds of gigantic, overstuffed retail bookstores, often in locations that had never had one before - than he's talking about the rise of the "virtual" book. On one page is the doomed, anachronistic "Espresso" machine, which can instantly create a printed book at the instruction of a library or bookstore customer - and on the very next page is a photo of the late Steve Jobs introducing the iPad in January 2010. Lyons somewhat resignedly calls the digital universe a "fact of life", writing, "In the space of a few years, books have been cut free from their paper moorings. The electronic age has changed them more fundamentally than the invention of the codex or the advent of printing."
The aspect of the print ascendancy that book aficionados (and who isn't a book aficionado?) have been understandably reluctant to acknowledge is the extent to which the triumph of the printed book was facilitated by the absence of any viable competing technology, rather than by any inherent superiority of printed books themselves. Commentators have been prone to hyperbole; in the somewhat partisan pages of The New York Times Book Review, the book has been called a "perfect" device.
And they do indeed have their superiorities. As Lyon recounts, "Embattled book lovers often insist that books do not need batteries, they do not get infected by viruses and when you close a book you never need to 'save' because you will never lose your data." Add to this the fact that books don't support upgrades (you can pick up a book Boccaccio read and read it just fine) and can be more economically hurled across a room in disgust, and you have a formidable device.
But the revolution embodied in devices such as the iPad, the Barnes & Noble Nook, the Amazon Kindle, and a host of other reading "tablets" on the market (with dozens and hundreds more to follow in upcoming years) starkly underscores some of the weaknesses that have always been present in traditional technology. A printed book is a static thing - its contents may end up being life-changing, but the thing itself changes not at all. Lyons' embattled book-lover is mistaken in thinking he cannot lose his data - if he makes marginalia in a printed book and then loses that one-pound physical object constructed of dyed vegetable matter, he's lost that personalised data in a way that's almost unthinkable in the electronic realm. Electronic books can be infinitely annotated, instantly shared, incredibly underpinned with support and elaboration. A reader coming across a reference to the Treaty of Ghent in a printed book has no options: he must make a note (on more vegetable matter) and remember to consult another printed book for more details. That same reference in an electronic book will likely come with an embedded link to more information - and more links, expanding outward into a proliferation that makes the ancient Library of Alexandria look piddling.
Such superiorities are almost moot points in any case. Whenever advancing technology is matched with disposable income, the arc moves inevitably toward greater personal utility. Wall-sized industrial air conditioners gave rise to portable window units. The telephone at the corner shop gave way to the wall-unit in the kitchen, which gave way to a phone the size of a playing-card in the pocket of every person in the industrialised world. Record stores selling vinyl albums eventually gave way to digital downloads. In every one of those mega-bookstore chains, traffic and sales are down appreciably from even five years ago, and the handwriting is on the wall. The generation of readers coming of age in the 21st century will have as little use for mass-printed physical books as the present generation has for whalebone corsets. Although Lyons is cheerful about the survival of reading itself, his celebration of the printed word is also something of a eulogy.

The son of Achilles and Deidamea. The name of Pyrrhus is said to have been given to him by Lycomedes, because he had fair (πυρρός) hair, or because Achilles, while disguised as a girl, had borne the name of Pyrrha.1
He was called Neoptolemus ("new war") because either Achilles or Pyrrhus himself had fought in early youth.2
The phrase a Pyrrhic victory is named for Pyrrhus and means "a victory won at such great cost to the victor that it is tantamount to a defeat."

Our first Cork dream home this week is this exceptional four-bed detached house located in Dealg Ban, Ladysbridge.
Ideal for a growing family, the property sits proudly on a corner site overlooking the green area, and is just a 10 minute drive from Midleton town.
Built in 2015, the property is extremely efficient with fitted solar panels, with an interior finished to a standard usually seen in show houses.
From its floating gas fire, the clever use of under stair storage and its wonderful fitted kitchen, this home is exceptionally finished yet there is still a warm family feel throughout.
There are three living spaces on the ground floor, while upstairs boasts four great size bedrooms with lush carpet flooring in all.
The master bedroom has fitted slide robes and a very well finished ensuite with floating fitted shelves.
Outside to the front you have ample space for two cars to comfortably fit and dual access to the rear garden, where a patio area is situated off the double doors of the conservatory.
Colbert and Co. are selling the property for €390,000

Dear Editor,
We would like to draw the attention of Secretary Education towards Education scenario of state.
There is concrete policy of transfer and posting of regular teachers and they are transferred from time to time.
But in case of SSA teachers, there is no concrete policy and they are seldom transferred to other school, unless SSA teachers himself appeal for the same.
In many schools, SSA teachers are teaching in particular school for more than ten years. Even if SSA teachers are not regular govt employees, they should not be allowed to stay in particular post for such a long time. Because it has been found that when govt employees over stay in posting place they become arrogant and unfaithful to their duty and often indulge in political activities rather than teaching. And whole SSA teachers are made to bear the public criticism because of those teachers.
In Upper primary schools, many SSA teachers are posted for last 10-11 years. It is human nature to become lazy and bored when one stay in one particular place for such a long time. Consequently, this year's result of govt. schools is very poor.
Though SSA teachers are appointed against block Quota, but there are many schools within block, those teachers can be transferred to other schools within a block for a change and to insert new life in teachers who have over stayed in particular school.
In middle schools staff quarter and other facilities are available so many SSA teachers apply for transfer to middle schools. But due to teachers who are in particular school for more than 10 years , teachers like us do not get chance to come out from interior place.
Therefore, we appeal to secretary education to rationalize the transfer and posting of SSA teachers serving in capital, towns and district headquarters before the beginning of new session. Because in districts those teachers have political and union connection , that's why they are not being transferred, even after completing their tenure.

Real Madrid vs Manchester United the UEFA Super Cup Clash is scheduled on 8th August, 2017 at the Philip II Arena in Macedonia and Los Blancos are the current champions and will be defending their trophy.
This annual event will witness the current Champions League and Europa League champions face each other for the trophy and it is going to be one hell of clash for the football fans as Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to feature in the squad to take on his former team.
Yes, you read it right. After all the rumors stating that Cristiano Ronaldo wants to leave Real Madrid after being accused of tax evasion by Spanish authorities, the four time Ballon d'Or winner is back at training with the Los Blancos and is expected to play in the Real Madrid vs Manchester United the UEFA Super Cup Clash.
Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo was given some added time off after his exploits with Portugal in the Confederations Cup but that is not how you win four Ballon d'Ors and become the frontrunner for a fifth.without putting the work in.
Since Zinedine Zidane confirmed that Cristiano Ronaldo is staying in the Spanish capital, the ex-United ace has hinted that he could face his former side after he uploaded a number of personal training videos showing him getting up to speed.
Dedication Is What Drives This Player
A post shared by Cristiano Ronaldo (@cristiano) on
Now coming to the Real Madrid vs Manchester United the UEFA Super Cup Clash, The Red Devils will enter with a huge advantage over Zinedine Zidane's men as they have won three out of the last seven head-to-head counters, while Los Blancos has managed the same number with only one draw.
- 23 July 2017- International Champions Cup
Manchester United 1-1 Real Madrid (Red Devils won by 2-1 on penalties)
- 02 Aug 2014 – International Champions Cup
Manchester United 3-1 Real Madrid
- 05 Mar 2013 – Champions League
Manchester United 1-2 Real Madrid
- 13 Feb 2013 – Champions League
Real Madrid 1-1 Manchester United
- 23 Apr 2003 – Champions League
Manchester United 4-3 Real Madrid
- 08 Apr 2003 – Champions League
Real Madrid 3-1 Manchester United
- 19 Apr 2000 – Champions League
Manchester United 2-3 Real Madrid
However, the last time these two sides faced each other was during the International Champions Cup 2017, Manchester United won the encounter on penalties.
But when we talk about the Champions League stats, Real Madrid have won three out of the five encounters, while the Red Devils have salvaged only one victory.
Moreover, last year, Zinedine Zidane's Real Madrid registered a comprehensive win against Sevilla by 3-2 and this year, if Cristiano Ronaldo plays, the Real Madrid vs Manchester United the UEFA Super Cup Clash is going to be another ball game altogether because last year, the Portugal national didn't even feature in the match due to his knee injury.

Operating Speed Profles and the Ship Design Cycle
One key, but little documented and empirically supported, input in the ship design cycle is the expected operating speed profile. This real‐world constraint affects many decisions regarding hull form and power systems, from fuel tanks to main propulsion and ship's service machinery selection and operation. These decisions, in turn, ripple through the design of a ship in ways that are often hard to discern, but clearly impact acquisition and life cycle costs. Recent studies of DDG 51 operating speed profiles demonstrate that the Navy regularly operates with speed profiles considerably different than used to design the ship. In general, warships operate in standard engine order telegraph increments (e.g., Ahead 2/3) and at lower speeds than designed for.

Heartland Home Vanity
The Heartland Home Vanity is a beautiful piece with a contemporary style that will complement a casual interior. It features a French etched mirror and chandelier-inspired light fixture. The vanity comes with ample storage space and a large counter top. The design also includes three metal grommets for attaching a mirror.
Before buying a new home vanity, it is important to know what you need from it. Make sure you get a high-quality model at a great price. A quality vanity should look stylish and be durable. Research online, talk to installers or designers, or look at consumer reviews. Look for quality materials such as soft-close drawers and solid countertops. These factors will make the home vanity more comfortable to use. Listed below are some tips and hints to help you choose the perfect home vanity for your bathroom.
The material: The material should be durable and easy to clean. Bathroom vanities are exposed to a variety of substances. They are also in a warmer, humid room. Certain materials do better in humid and warm environments. You may want to consider a more durable material such as marble, thermofoil, and laminate.
Size: Before purchasing a home vanity, consider the size of your bathroom. The vanity cabinet should be large enough to anchor the room, but not so big that it overwhelms the room. If your bathroom is small, consider a wall-mount vanity, which has a small footprint. If your bathroom is larger, look for a vanity with legs. The larger vanity will give you more storage space, and can increase your home's resale value.

Westmalle Trappist Extra.
Often referred to as the mother of all Tripels, Westmalle recently launched their Extra.
It is certainly not a new beer. This beer was already available from the brothers of Westmalle themselves, marked with a light brown label at the time.
It is also this beer that the monks of Westmalle traditionally drink during their meals.
Now freely available commercially with a light blue label.
It is a blond beer with a low alcohol content of only 4.8% ABV.
Remarkable is the fruity, light banana ester, which is also recognizable in a Westmalle Tripel.
