Automotive Manufacturer Implements Dayforce Payroll, Workforce Management and Human Resources
MINNEAPOLIS, MN, Oct. 9, 2013 /CNW/ - Ceridian announces that Borbet Alabama, a leading automotive manufacturer, went live on Dayforce HCM with Payroll, Workforce Management and Human Resources. Borbet Alabama is up and running with HCM capabilities that save time, control costs, engage employees and increase productivity.
"Dayforce has been embraced by our employees, supervisors and administrators," says Toni-Marie Hedge, human resources manager at Borbet Alabama. "The single, user-friendly application enables us to easily transfer employees from one business unit to the next, a process that has always caused us problems. Dayforce delivers on every aspect and enhances our mission to provide customers with quality product exactly when they need it."
"Lack of visibility on our labor costs, because of the manual nature of the previous system, was affecting our ability to budget and forecast properly," adds Ms. Hedge."Our management team made the decision to replace our legacy human capital management system with one that could provide better visibility and analytical view of labor costs to all management levels. After evaluating Dayforce HCM, we determined it was the right fit for our needs."
Dayforce HCM transforms human capital management from a collection of disparate systems reliant on fragile interfaces to a single, robust, real-time application with one employee record, one user experience and zero interfaces. Dayforce HCM enhances employee engagement and productivity, while greatly reducing administration time and costs. This single application includes Payroll, Workforce Management, Benefits, and Human Resources. Dayforce Payroll enables employees to view, edit, fix and preview payroll in real-time, enabling employees to be compensated accurately and on time, and eliminating batch processing and trial runs. Dayforce Workforce Management allows managers to plan and forecast labor requirements, aligns schedules with labor demand, and allows for accurate time tracking and compliance. Dayforce Benefits manages employee enrollment, calculates eligibility and supports an unlimited number of plan types to administer accurate, compliant and accessible benefit plans across the organization. Dayforce HR Self-Service increases manager productivity and employee engagement by allowing mobile access to view and make changes to status through approved workflows, and to manage schedules through shift trading, availability management and time-off requests.
"We are pleased that Borbet Alabama has embraced our solution," says David Ossip, CEO of Ceridian HCM. "By design, the Dayforce single application with one employee record, one user experience and zero interfaces makes it easy for employees in all areas of the organization to get up and running quickly and with confidence."

Fast-rising singer, actor and fashion designer, Abbey Chile Abuede, popularly known as Sexy Steel, has taken a few shots at his critics.
The married father of two in a recent interview made available to Somtoo Okoye blog, opened up on the relationship rumors stirring over his name in the entertainment industry.
His words:
"I am used to it. A lot of people have greatly looked down on my talent.
"From the inception, they said I came into the music business to gain popularity for my fashion line among other things, but I kept cool and now because of my looks they said sugar mummies are funding me forgetting that I have a blooming fashion outfit and a fantastic music career.
"Well, if they cannot appreciate my hard work and dedication they should go look for their own sugar mummies because I really don't care."

Welcome, we all know Ezreal as that awesome AD Carry that everyone loves.
I've never played Ezreal as an AD Carry.
Ezreal is a prime AP Carry that can be suited to mid-lane due to his long range pokes and mobility, not to mention his persistent cooldowns that keep him putting out damage. To me, he is best AP due to all four of his abilities scaling with it and the ridiculous long range on every skill. Although his damage and utility are definitely not at the top of the League, he can easily snowball hard by being an aggressive assist with DPS and ganks. His real strength comes with the ease that he can poke enemies, wear them down, and unexpectedly surprise them with his burst.
In short,
AP Ezreal is a bulldozer--slow, but surely powerful.
AP Ezreal is a
[mystic shot]
Mystic Shot is a great skill that is perfect for two things:
1) Last-hitting
2) Poking enemy champions
Despite its low AP ratio, it really shines early game with #1. It can help you last-hit with just one point, and by the time it can't be used easily anymore (around level 6 or so), you should already have Sheen. Later in the game, Lich Bane will turn this into something that really HURTS, but Lich Bane is not necessarily an essential item until late game.
MOST IMPORTANTLY--SPAM THIS ABILITY IN ORDER TO KEEP LANE PRESSURE AND REDUCE COOLDOWNS. (Mana problems should be solved by an early Eliesa's Miracle and mana regen/18 runes.
[essence flux]
Essence Flux is THE main poking device for early-game. You will max it first. The raw damage that kicks in around level 3 is what really will deter enemies, leaving you to farm with Q and E. By the time that the enemy can really push hard, you will have your ultimate, which will easily clear the lane. Stacking AP earlier than this guide suggests will simply hurt your enemies more.
Keep this on low cooldown by using your Q.
[arcane shift]
Arcane Shift is basically a Flash + homing missile. The missile is ignorable in many respects, but can help you to last hit. When you are relatively safe, you can use this ability to push back from your turret. NEVER USE THIS WHEN BEYOND THE MIDDLE OF THE LANE. During the early-game, you WILL be ganked if you pushed up to your tower. Like real life--SAFETY FIRST.
That being said, it is a very helpful tool for ganking bottom/top lane, and for killing recalling enemies by the tower.
Arcane Shift is not Flash--thus, you have more freedom in using it. However, make sure that you can use this AND Flash in a sticky situation. It saves your lives.
[trueshot barrage]
THIS is the skill that truly makes AP Ezreal powerful. Use it constantly, but save it for during/after team fights. It solves Ezreal's pushing problems, and shooting it down the middle of the lane results in natural lane pushing (you will hit more than one minion wave, ensuring that your full-health minions will kill them faster). When dueling, use it when going in for the kill in tandem with your E, and if you are in danger of dying in a team fight, use it before you die. It will take off a large chunk of health off anyone (minus tanks), so it is essential that you use it right.
Don't be afraid to use the ultimate to clear minion waves and "ganking" other lanes. With your Q, it can be effectively on a 30-second cooldown.

For Sale: 2005 Town Car Signature Limited
My 2005 Town Car Signature Limited was previously owned by an older couple in a suburb of Orlando, FL. After the couple passed away, their daughter took ownership of the car, and unfortunately it was not in the condition that a Lincoln should be in when I bought it. I have spent several hours cleaning the exterior and interior of the car, as well as hundreds of dollars on needed repairs and maintenance since I picked it up. I have repaired the water leak issue at the windshield air intake that is common with these cars, as well as recharged the A/C system, had an oil and coolant change done, replaced the serpentine belt and tensioner pulley, and had a pair of Cooper CS5 Grand Touring tires put on the rear wheels. I've had the car inspected by a local mechanic, who says that it is in good shape for a car of its age. The car is in much better shape now then when I bought it, but there is still some work to be done it, so I am willing to negotiate on my asking price for anyone interested in the car.
The details:
- Light Tundra Metallic (light green) exterior with Light Parchment interior.
- 108,950 miles
- Heated front seats
- Heated exterior mirrors
- Driver's memory seat
- Soundmark premium AM/FM radio with CD and cassette
- Wood grain accented steering wheel
- Leather seats with Lincoln logo
- 17 inch chrome wheels
- Power trunk lid
- Covered trunk storage bin
I am asking $6795 for the car, but that is negotiable. I have several photos of the exterior and interior of the car that I can provide. Feel free to contact me with any questions.

I've lowered the asking price by $1000 to $5750. Today the Service Engine Soon light went on, and my mechanic says that it's due to the throttle position sensor. He tells me the throttle body should be replaced. The airbag light has been on since I bought the car. Counting the number of times the light blinks when the car starts up, I"m getting code 34. Aside from that, the rear brake pads need to be replaced and it needs new spark plugs (was not done at 100K miles). I put a new pair of front tires on today.

Cocos Island is commonly known as the "Island of Hammerhead Sharks" as it is famous for its huge schools of hammerhead sharks. Like the backdrop of "Jurassic Park," the spectacular waterfalls of Cocos Island plunge hundreds of feet into the rich and abundant ocean that surrounds the island.
Cocos Island is the high point of a submerged volcanic platform. This platform plunges into abysmal depths very close to the island. Several principal ocean currents converge at Cocos, transporting nutrient-rich water that attracts many marine species, giving these waters a very high rate of productivity. The symbiosis and behavioral habits of many marine species can be observed around Cocos.
The diving in Cocos is characterized by its open ocean location and the variety and quantity of pelagic marine species, such as scalloped hammerhead, silver-tip, tiger, silky, black-tip and whale sharks, along with large aggregations of rays, snappers, tuna and jacks. Many large filter feeders frequent the island, such as the giant manta ray and migratory humpback whales.
Schooling scalloped hammerheads are a common sight on several of the dive sites. Many dive sites have cleaning stations for hammerheads and a great variety of pelagic species. Silverado is a shallow cleaning station for the magnificent beast, the silver-tip shark!
Night dives on the sheltered side of Isla Manuelita provide an opportunity to see a river of white- tip reef sharks. Normally inactive during the day, hundreds of these reef predators can be seen patrolling the reef in search of food.
The bathymetry of this volcanic terrace forms a variety of different dive site with varying characteristics, from sandy rocky terraces and islands, to deep water pinnacles and seamounts. Coral reefs can be encountered in the sheltered areas of the bays, with the largest extensions found in the bays of Chatham and Wafer.

Every time I log onto pinterest or google and type 'healthy meals' in the search bar, stuffed bell peppers almost always pop up- and for good reasons. They are easy, healthy, tasty, and last well in the fridge.
When it comes to my daily schedule I live by this "healthy in a hurry" mantra, because I always look up and find my time is cut short. I don't like opting for an easy fix like take out- it costs extra money and is not the healthiest choice. That's what makes these stuffed bell peppers amazing for meal prep!
The color is what make this dish so pretty- bell peppers are so vibrant and packed with flavor and nutrients. The mushrooms were my meat substitute, but can easily be replaced with tofu, chicken or beef! Just make sure that if you use chicken that it is precooked.
These would be great for a group of people, they're easy to pick up, you can make multiple at one time, and they're hassle free. After making them I realized why they are so 'trendy' on social media as far as healthy recipes- they make the whole 'healthy in a hurry' motto very possible.
I'm actually not entirely sure how you are supposed to eat these stuffed bell peppers, but I definitely used my hands… as if it they were burritos! They definitely pack a Mexican flavor so I figured it was acceptable! Anyway you choose to eat these tasty stuffed bell peppers, I hope you enjoy them!
-3 large bell peppers
-1/2 cup farro (dried)
-1/3 cup red onions (chopped)
-1/2 cup mushrooms (chopped)
-1/3 cup bell pepper (chopped)
-optional: cheese for toppings
… seasoning
-2 Tbs olive oil
-2 large cloves garlic (minced)
-1/2 tsp roasted ground corriander
-1/2 tsp cumin
-1/2 tsp smoked paprika
-1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
-S & P to taste
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. On the stove begin cooking your farro (or if you prefer quinoa or rice that's okay too) according to package directions. Cut the tops off of all three bell peppers and cut out the seeds, place in a baking dish and set aside. Take the remaining bell pepper and chop it into small pieces. Put these bell pepper pieces in a bowl and add chopped mushrooms and chopped red onions. When the farro (or your grain of choice) is done cooking, add it to your bowl of chopped vegetables. Pour the olive oil, garlic, and seasonings over the farro and veggies then stir until all ingredients are evenly mixed. With a spoon, scoop the farro mixture into each bell pepper cup until they are full. Place in the oven and cook of about 20 minutes or until the cell peppers looked slightly wilted. Remove from oven and drizzle olive oil ontop or add some shredded cheese. Serve and enjoy!

beautiful boy
Oh, Sully. Your wide range of emotions in short periods of time is something in which we can all relate. Thanks for making sadness so freaking cute.
We're gearing up for his blessing day tomorrow and it's funny how crappy the week has been. Like life knew we were getting ready for a great day so it heaped on a bunch of cruddy ones so we'd really have to work to enjoy it. Just writing that down makes me feel less heavy with life and more excited to focus on celebrating our baby and asking heaven to bless him specifically. Because Sullivan's blessed us since joining our family and no matter what's heaped on in the day to day, there is always reason to celebrate family and life and chubby babies.

When it comes to choosing the PCB manufacturing partner to entrust your PCB assembly needs, you have to have a set of selection criteria to ensure your desired quality output. Here are 7 aspects you should find in a good PCB manufacturer or assembler.
1. Price
Obtain thorough information detailing the total cost of manufacturing, including the labor cost from the PCB manufacturer. Then, examine carefully the things that are deemed to constitute the manufacturing cost and take time to make an accurate comparison with manufacturing costs from one or two other competing PCB manufacturers. This should help you determine if the manufacturing costs of the PCB manufacturer of choice are at par with the average costs in the PCB assembly industry and if the PCB manufacturer is consistent in the competition.
2. Quality Accreditation
Look for quality accreditations such as ISO certification and RoHS compliance that any competitive PCB manufacturer must possess. The minimum ISO certification you should be looking for in a company is ISO 9001:2008 for you to guarantee that they are capable of producing products that are well above the industry average. In case you are unfamiliar with the quality accreditation the manufacture claims to possess, make sure it comes from a licensed registrar.
3. Facility and Equipment
The PCB manufacturer's capacity to deliver output of high caliber and to the specifications of the client demands availability and proper maintenance of all necessary equipment and facilities. The efficiency of the assembly equipment depends also on their being brand new and modernized, or being outdated and time-consuming. Check whether there are jet printers available and whether the company's records reflect that they are properly maintained along with the pick-and-place machines, reflow ovens and wave soldering tools. This also guarantees the company's commitment to quality.
4. Staff
High-caliber equipment, no matter how properly maintained, is inefficient insofar as there is a very limited number of assembly professionals. Therefore, see to it that the PCB manufacturing company has an array of duly certified assembly technicians. Evaluate the training records of the company's staff, including non-certified staff members that are still working towards their certification.
5. Procurement
The PCB manufacturer will be obtaining its supplies and materials from an external producer, hence, try assessing their procurement division whether they have strong inventory management process or not. Determine if they are procuring their supplies from onshore or offshore merchants because chances are, you will be paying much bigger amount for supplies that come from distant locations. While you can procure on your own the materials required for your PCB assembly, you should look for procurement professionals employed by the PCB manufacturing company of your choice. This way, you will be confident that such professionals have the ability to recommend you alternative materials that are more efficient and more affordable than those that are in your bill of materials.
6. Location
If time and money savings are important to you, choosing a PCB manufacturer that is situated just in the neighbourhood will render you additional speed of delivery as well as flexibility when crucial site surveys have to be carried out. Most large-scale reputable PCB manufacturing companies have offshore facilities in a number of geographical locations such as Korea, Taiwan and mainland China. Thus, you will be dealing with the same trusted company through their PCB assembly facility near your business area.
7. The PCB manufacturer's
Capacity to meet shipping deadlines is crucial to your business, thus whenever possible, obtain comprehensive information from the PCB manufacturer with regards to their capacity to meet this criterion. See to it that they are shipping your order using the most secure means possible.

Nielsen's Delicatessen, located at 4500 Richmond, has been in operation since 1952. The restaurant was founded by Danish immigrants Ellen Nielsen Andersen and her husband Dick Andersen. The shotgun-like structure sports a red roof, which makes it easy to spot:
Inside the narrow space is a row of vinyl-covered stools for counter dining on one side, and a deli counter on the other.
The restaurant's minimalist "decor" (if you can call it that) is Danish, with sun-faded posters of Denmark and Danish royalty, as well as a few Danish characters:
Get in line, and peruse the menu:
If there's one thing that characterizes Nielsen's Delicatessen, it is its legendary mayonnaise, copious amounts of which are used in most of the restaurant's offerings. In fact, hanging on the wall is a 1990 letter from Gourmet magazine, advising that they received an "enthusiastic letter" from a patron who "particularly admired the potato salad," and asking for the recipe for Nielsen's potato salad, the key to which is the mayonnaise:
The mayonnaise is house-made daily, and the recipe is a closely-guarded secret. It's snowy and silky, unrelated to the stuff in the jar. Some have suggested it has a hint of onion or celery. Don't ask questions, don't think about the calories, just experience it. Consider taking a pint home with you.
One of the popular items featuring the famous mayonnaise is deviled eggs. Although they make about 120 eggs daily, If you want one, you'll need to get there fairly early, as they usually run out around 1 p.m.
Sandwiches, especially turkey sandwiches, are another popular item. The restaurant takes pride in the fact that it roasts its turkey breasts daily. The sandwiches, on your choice of wheat or white, sport a generous schmear of a spread made with–you guessed it–mayonnaise and mustard on both the top and bottom slices of bread. People go crazy over this spread. One time, a young lady in front of me ordered her sandwich and asked for "lots of spread." The employee nodded his understanding of her request, but the lady went on: "No, I mean like a LOT of spread. Like, a TON of spread. Like, an EMBARASSING amount of spread." I don't know why she didn't just buy a jar and get a room.
Get a small cup of potato salad or cole slaw to go with your sandwich, and really have yourself a party:
Feeling especially hungry? Order yourself a box lunch, which I refer to as the 50 Shades of White Box Lunch:
Inside the plain white box, are a number of items neatly wrapped in white paper:
The lunch consists of a turkey sandwich on white, a half a cheese sandwich on white, a cup of potato salad, two pickle spears, and two brownies, and makes a perfect picnic lunch for sharing:
So what's the secret to Nielsen's Delicatessen's longevity? The answer is obvious — freshly-made sandwiches and salads, and mayonnaise. Lots of mayonnaise. A ton of mayonnaise. An embarrassing amount of mayonnaise. 😉

Last week when we were at the Dollar Tree, Kate spied these really cute kid's glasses, so she and her sister picked out a pair. For $1, I couldn't say no.
I guess I've been reading too much Fancy Nancy lately because I had this brilliant idea to spruce them up with some bling. I also pulled out some googly-eyes.
Unfortunately, the sun started melting the glue {and us}, so we hurried inside and Mama didn't have a chance to decorate her sunglasses. Oh, darn! 🙂
Here are the girls in their shades. Cora did not want to wear hers for some reason but insisted that baby Annabeth wear them. Neither were too thrilled.
However, Kate couldn't resist posing in hers like a Foster Grant model.
A fun activity for the summer! Hope you have had fun with your kids today!
Blessings to you!

The Incompetents: More Songs From The Victorious City (Tunefork, 2008)
THE INCOMPETENTS is the result of the unusual collaboration between songwriter Serge Yared and producer/multi instrumentalist/arranger/sound engineer Fadi "Fe" Tabbal.
Living and working in Beirut, those two music enthusiasts, who are constantly touring the world in search of new musical adventures, finally decided to team up and join forces on a set of songs. They were naturally joined by a myriad of professional, less professional, and even involuntary musicians, using any instrument (musical or not) available at hand.
When performing on stage, the ranks of the Incompetents are augmented by talented multi-instrumentalist Abed Kobeissy and drummer/percussionist Amine Daher, for a happily disjointed live extravaganza, a raucous celebration of British 60's psychedelia and vaudevillesque sing-along tunes.

'More Songs from the Victorious City'
After many desperate hours spent listening religiously to the Beach Boys, Moondog, Stephen Jones and Tom Waits, and after touring the world chasing the Sparks, Serge Yared came to Fadi "Fe" Tabbal one day with a bunch of broken lyrics and out-of-tune melodies. Fe decided that the two of them were to perform the songs on their own, no matter what.
Recorded in between riots, fratricide wars and assassinations, the project soon developed to involve a community of more than 25 "incompetents", including anyone who came by the studio while they were recording, as well as "graphic designer" friends who were asked to illustrate one of the album's 8 tracks, creating different interchangeable covers…
A true community work, and an outrageously spontaneous and liberating experience!
Karma TOHME
The CD was released on the night of Saturday, October 11, to coincide with the delirious concert the band gave at the Quadrangle Pub in Hazmieh, Beirut.

The NSA has one message for Americans, and it is: "Call your grandma."
"Seriously," the NSA went on. "We know who you are calling, every call of every day, as the AP says. We have all your phone records, if you're a Verizon customer. We would have asked for AT&T's too, but AT&T customers have never actually gotten a call to go through. We know whom you call, and for how long. And I know you talk a good game about your grandmother and how much she means to you, but we can state for a fact that most of your calls are not to her. For instance, Darrell here has called his grandmother zero times in the past month but has placed repeated calls to Domino's, even though we have records of him stating that 'their pizza tastes like cardboard' and that 'they said they changed it up, but I can't really taste the difference' on other calls (also not to his grandmother). He has also called his wife six times; a woman who is not his wife, three times (but all of those were short calls during daylight hours, so probably it's nothing to be overly concerned about); his daughter, 18 times, all one evening after her presumed curfew; and what we have discovered was the 800 number for ExtenZe Male Enhancement two times, first hanging up after 30 seconds in confusion, then redialing it, then hanging up immediately."
The NSA official produced a big chart to demonstrate these findings.
"And Lisa here has placed 18 hour-long calls to her best friend from high school but zero calls to her grandmother, even though her grandmother could probably really use a listening ear right now. Her grandmother has placed 18 hour-long calls to an 888 consumer complaints line for foot fungus cream, where the person doing the dinner shift just lets her talk, because he has been instructed to do so. Lisa's grandmother, two weeks ago, also called a late-night Hot Links 900-number chat line, possibly confused as to its intended purpose, but stayed on the line for 43 minutes. What we are saying is: Lisa, your grandmother needs you right now."
"Lisa's grandmother has also forwarded her several e-mails expressing worry about the surveillance the government is conducting," he/she/it went on, "although we don't know about those, of course, and we disagree with their content. This is the best way. Look, let me demonstrate. If you want to catch tuna in the ocean, what do you do? You don't just fish for tuna. You fill the ocean with a giant net that scoops up tuna, dolphins, the occasional swimmer, lampreys and even Nemo. And then you rest assured and confident in the knowledge that you have definitely caught the tuna and also, hey, look, a lamprey! That's cool!"
"I recognize that pained and agonized sigh from your many phone calls to your siblings," the NSA official went on. "Let me try another example. If you want to make certain that all the bad people are behind bars, you put everyone behind bars. Please stop sighing heavily. Look, if you want to pick out the abnormal data of the few people doing bad things, you need all the data on the good people who aren't doing bad things, or how will you know what's normal and what isn't? The more data, the merrier!"
The NSA official fixed us with a gimlet eye. "Oh, NOW you're going to complain about people having access to your data? Have you MET yourself? If your behavior on the Internet is any indication, all you do all day is authorize people to have access to your data, because you have nothing to hide. And now you want to start screaming about how you have a right to privacy? Please."
"Besides, what if a good person becomes a bad person? Then you really, really need that data! Look at Anakin Skywalker. Blond, kind of annoying, always complaining about sand — seemingly innocuous, right? But then it turned out he was Darth Vader! And it was great that we had all his telephone records going back to infancy!"
"Look, it's not like we're listening in on all your calls. That would be mind-numbingly dull. And don't worry about saying 'terrorist' out loud. We understand that just because you say something at one point to a specific group of people doesn't mean you actually believe it. For instance, President Obama used to say that he favored transparency and opposed Bush-era policies that offered 'a false choice between the liberties we cherish and the security we provide.' "
"We get it."

The story begins with the villain, a man obsessed that calls himself Anubis killing a man for not bringing him the Xenoglyph he had asked for. Cut to Steven James and his best friend Dom Jenkins trying to stop an unknown group of people from finding the Xenoglyph that is hidden in Egypt. Steven meets a beautiful woman by the name of Jennifer, in the lobby. Steven then explains to Dom the nature of the Xenoglyphs, which are nine stones each with an elemental power; whoever holds onto a stone has complete control over that element. Steven is a separator, a person chosen to keep the stones separate in order to prevent any one person from attaining that much power. Of the nine elements, which include Earth, Wind, Water, Fire, Light, Dark, Plant, Metal, and Heart. The history goes on to explain that the Greek Gods and many major historical figures had XenoGlyphs. XenoGlyphs are hidden all around the world in selected monuments. Steven is charged with keeping the Light Xenoglyph from falling into the wrong hands. In order to prevent the Xenoglyph that is hidden in Egypt from being found, Steven and Dom decide to find it themselves. Upon breaking into the museum, they find the key already stolen.
Steven and Dom are left with no other option than to wait outside the pyramid, and just as they are about to give up, they notice a group of people holding a large case walking. Suddenly, a mysterious warrior appears and tries to stop them. Figuring that the mysterious warrior needs their help, Steven and Dom join in the save what ends up being Jennifer, from the hotel lobby.
The three go back to the hotel room, empty handed, and realize that Jennifer is also a separator. Just then, they see a man fall past their window, and Jennifer recognizes him from the fight. They are the first to get to his body, finding a business card with a corporation name and address. Upon going to the address on the card, they find it to not be the same name as on the card. Going inside to explore, they find detailed maps and plans leading to the locations of ALL the Xenoglyphs. As they are leaving, they are seen by Carlton, Anubis's right-hand man. Carlton fights them and kidnaps Jennifer.
Dom and Steven save Jennifer from Carlton. Steven decides to go over to the pyramid to finally stop Anubis from getting the Xenoglyph, but it's already too late. Anubis gets the dark Xenoglyph and battles Steven with the light Xenoglyph in an epic battle of good versus evil. Steven loses the fight to get back the darkness Xenoglyph from Anubis, as Steven lets Anubis escape so he can save his best friend Dom.
The story continues as Anubis and Steven meet at locations all around the world in a race to search for the remaining Xenoglyphs.

To be a used navy from Italy, Colonnello own a amazing skills on snipe, so he was confindence to shoot everyone in the battlefield that disturb the fight between Tsuna, Byukuran and Rokudo.
After recovery to his original body, he start his project: use his skills to beat the others in a long distance. Which is known to all, the proxy of him are not very strong enough to beat the
others except Tsuna's father and best friend. And the truth proves that it's really a good idea.
From the conflict to now, many strong guys lost in the game just because the special rules. It's a war to test many different ability not only the power. Fon is a good example, he has only one proxy and the one is Hibari. Now, four most stronger family trugged into a field. And on the other hand, Fight between Hibari and Varia almost start. It's really different to guess what will happend next. Alomost everyone are totallly powerful. But after the interrupt of Colonnello, the original balance has been broken. Team power of yuni was weaked very much. Many leaders was hruted because of the attack of Colonnello. Byukuran, Rokudo, Kikyo, Flan and many other members even different to continue the fight. Ihave to say the threate from Colonnello really huge! From this affair, we can infer the truly power of Arcobaleno! Really terrify!
But the most exciting moment in this chapter is the meet of Hibari and Varia. With the character of Hibari, I think he will beat all of the member of Varia except Xanxus. Actually it's really difficult to judge the power between Hibari and Xanxus. There are never fight with each ther. Hibari is the most stronger guy in the protecter of Tsuna, but Xanxus get a new unknown ring. If there is a fight of them, that's must be amazing!

Hi my nickname is Normalpl and my main is heimerdinger. I`ve played with him a lot of games and I`m pretty sure heimerdinger is very op in good hands. He might seems to be hard to play with but after about 15 games I easily scored a 1v3 triple kills.
Pros / Cons
+zoning and zone control
+aoe slowing and stuning
+can easily defend and also push lanes
+A little bit squishy (but you can take zhonyja and GA)
+Long cooldowns
+Need to know where to put turrets. it is key to wining all games
+except good stun from granate, no escape spells
+ it is a little to easy to take down your turrets in early game and also you have to wait for next turrets so long on early levels
Why GA, you ask ?
It makes you imviolable for 4 secunds so it is something like double zhonya.
If you don`t get it imagine a situation, you at 50% hp stand with your 3 turrets near to you, and suddenly a wild jungler appears. But it is more, a enemy mider comes to attack you. Oh no, they come to you and start attack you, also turrets also attack them. they take your all hp and thing your dead but no, you are still alive(they all time stand under your turrets. So if you wont get double here, just stun or slow them with grenete and use combo R for w to take your double (if you did not use it before for 4th turret)
Imagine more enemies and you with zhonyja nad GA. just R for your q(4th turret) and you might take PENTAKILL with that combo :)
That is all for GA, lets go on and talk about other items.
Your Zhonya`s Hourglass is the item you can`t work without. As you might read, it will make you immune for 2 secunds(not much but, it makes me score quadra once for game or two :) )
Other items are for more AP and more damage
Also remember to buy wards. it is good to now when someone is going to you and who will give you score kill.
Why no shoes ?
1. You will be standing near your turrets and won`t move much
2. You won`t move much.
3. If you want to, you can take them, I just think I don`t realy need it.
It is so easy to farm with your turrets. You will probably have the most cs from both teams.
Also outfarming is very strong with your turrets.
Enemy mid player will have to get cs under his tower because of zoning he won`t get nay cs`s when I`m on lane with turrets.
The only moment when he can take cs is when I`m

Those living in East Texas near Tyler can help improve fishing habitat by dropping off their Christmas trees. The City of Tyler Solid Waste Department and Keep Tyler Beautiful will provide two locations for Christmas tree recycling. Residents can drop off their undecorated, non-flocked natural Christmas trees in designated areas at Golden Road Park and Fun Forest Park in Tyler through Jan. 20.
Golden Road Park is located at the intersection of McDonald Road and Golden Road. Fun Forest Park is located in the 900 block of North Glenwood Boulevard. All lights, ornaments, garland and tinsel should be removed from the Christmas tree before dropping it off near the sign that says "Christmas Tree Recycling." People can also drop them off at park dumpsters.
The trees at the parks are available for area fishermen to pick up and sink in nearby lakes to create fish habitats. Small fish eat the aquatic insects that find a home in the tree branches. The fish also use the trees as a hiding place. As a result, the fishing is improved around the "recycled trees" because more fish congregate in these areas.
For more information, contact Rachel Northcutt, City of Tyler Parks and Recreation Keep Tyler Beautiful coordinator, at 903-595-7217 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

I had high hopes for this product and when you consider the price I thought for sure it would be a life saver. The product promises to use heat therapy to reduce the size of the pimple and that anti-bacterial effect of the heat kills the pimple and prevents other ones from occurring. It's the same principle as the devices professionals use during a facial treatment. It does not however work on all kids of pimples (they do state this in the fine print). It's best for those under the skin, cystic type of pimples before they have full surfaced. Even so, while it mildly shrunk the size of the pimple (which may have occurred anyway) it does leave a visible red mark that took days to subside. It's not worth the money as far as I am concerned but luckily I bought it at Shoppers Drug Mart and they fully refunded my money. I have yet to find a silver bullet to fight those nasty cystic pimples and Zeno is now officially crossed off my list to try.
Okay, so what Zeno is is an electronic acne remover, you place it on a pimple for 2 minutes I think it was..... (I haven't used it since the first week I got it) and then it heats up and supposedly in 24 hours your pimple will be gone,
here's what happened to me, so I got this as a gift from my boyfriend after wanting it for a long time, and of course I tried it... and the results turned out really bad... , what happened was the heat kind of melted the top layer of skin over the pimple so it looked like i didn't have one I guess.. but after awhile the bump continuously got bigger and bigger... my father thought I had a cyst on my face ! which is really gross, so one day I got fed up with it because the pimple really hurt and was hideous looking and it took me so long to get rid of this nasty thing, I now have a dark scar on my face that still has not gone away.
I don't know if I'm the only one who's had a problem with this product but I assume I'm not alone because it sucks ! it's expensive and doesn't work and I would never recommend it. ever.

Data is the new oil, hence, companies need to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of their information in this data-centric age. The human factor is the weakest link in cybersecurity, the problem cannot be solved solely by technology. The human factor is one of the biggest challenges and thus must be considered when creating a robust and effective cybersecurity framework.
Social engineering threats bypass many security systems by exploiting the human layer through psychological manipulation. Attackers trick users into divulging confidential information by opening an infected e-mail attachment or visiting malicious websites. Phishing is the starting point in 91% of all cyberattacks as of December 2016. It exploits users' trust to obtain sensitive information or compromise systems. Moreover, Insider threat is another risk that leaves companies vulnerable where aggravated or resentful employees could potentially pose a high risk.
Technology cannot prevent all threats from reaching end users, therefore, adequate training, effective awareness, comprehensive policies and established processes are essential in countering this threat. Saudi Aramco is one of the leading cybersecurity pioneers in the region. Its responsibility goes beyond securing its data and infrastructure to sharing knowledge, lessons learned and experience with the rest of the community.

At the beginning of his career Wilfried Covent was Police Commissioner with the local police in Belgium. But in 1994 he became involved in the aviation security industry. He first joined the (previous) Belgian Airline SABENA – being the airline security manager. A few years later he switched to the air cargo / express industry, to become the aviation security manager for DHL Express Europe.
In February 2010 Wilfried started to work in the airport environment being the Head of Security at Brussels Airport. Recently he moved to a security expert function within Brussels Airport.
In this function he has been appointed as Vice-Chairman of the ACI-Europe Security Committee. (Airports Council International – representing +/- 500 airports in Europe).
On March 22nd – 2016, Brussels Airport has been hit by terror in the public terminal (check in counters – to be considered as soft target) . Two suicide explosions took place, killing 16 innocent people and resulting in over 150 people seriously injured.
The presentation will cover first the impact of both explosions (video), including modus operandi of the terrorists, followed by a quick overview of the emergency phase.
Protecting soft targets becomes a major challenge; the focus at airport security is not longer aviation security only.
The landside concept at airports is a vulnerable area, which triggers additional measures to reduce the risk.
To be able to continue operating public areas at an airport, few principles have been stated. Based on this concept, a multi layered security concept has been developed in close coop with the government.
In a phased approach different measures have been implemented to continue our landside operations in a secure way.

Already before the Euro 2016 football championships, hotels, shopping malls and other public venues had adapted and implemented the plans. Three key words made this possible in such a short time. Contribution, communication and collaboration. This presentation will look at the practical side of public private partnerships, and some of the simple tools available to remove the bureaucratic obstacles and implement initiatives that give direct benefits to the general public as well as the public and private sector organizations that serve them.

Even though the number of piracy attacks in the Gulf of Aden has decreased significantly over the last few years, there are still risks associated with operations in these waters. The threat posed by pirates has been compounded by the potential for attacks by violent extremist organizations and the spillover of regional conflicts into the maritime. The free flow of commerce through this region can only be assured by expanding our view from simple counter-piracy into a broader "Maritime Security Mindset" which includes all threats to shipping.

Playing the slavery card won't work
ho is going to play brave in this fiscal guava season and tell the Royal Bank of Canada to take they bank and go? The Banking, Industrial and General Workers Union is the one to ask to mind they business and to cease and desist with unfounded remarks about present day slavery. Banks have to make a profit.
Profit making is the business of banks. The mere idea that 1000 RBC workers were off loaded in the last six years tells you a story you either want to hear and comprehend or you don't. All RBC employees who find that they are being treated like modern day slaves could stay home if they want. Let the union people feed them. If working on Saturday, July 1 is going to save my job, what is my problem? If the Saturday opening is for a good reason of facilitating collections of seniors' pensions, what is my problem? If spreading the 37 1/2 hour working week over six days instead of five is deemed unreasonable hardship, I could always stay home forever. No problem.
There are always unemployed and well certificated young contract workers waiting for any opening. The unions have to stop crying disrespect when employers do not wish to do all that ego stroking.
Can the BIGWU prevent the RBC from removing its operations out of T&T because of non co-operation and low profit margins? Who wants to test the possibility?
The collective trade union movement in T&T persists in its denial about what they can realistically negotiate in an era of disappearing profits. If a bank like RBC with so many branches and dependent employees decides that T&T is an unprofitable destination, crapauds will be doing a lot of pipe smoking.
Playing the slavery card by the unions is crass behaviour and of little to no effect when compared to loss of income. The unions need to put away the mental and emotional whips and stop disrespecting common intelligence.

I ordered these for my younger sister from Amazon for about $20.00, who wanted to redo her bedroom in everything black and white, I thought these would be perfect.
I was a little sceptical that these would end up being tiny and not really what I was looking for but these were huge! I was really happy with the variety of sizes included, very nice!
These circles appear to be on the thicker side and not paper thin like some other brands. My sister was super happy with these decals and I would defiantly recommend these to others, they are fantastic.

Discuss the potential benefits and risks in business diversification.no
- print Print
- list Cite
To me, there is one major type of potential benefit and one major type of potential risk when a business diversifies.
The major possibility of benefit is that the business can increase profit and revenue. If a business, for example, diversifies up and down its supply chain, it can give itself (through vertical integration) advantages over competitors who lack such diversification. In addition, the business can hedge against problems in one area of business by having many different types of enterprises.
The problem, though, is that diversification can move a firm away from its core competencies. Firms that are good at one thing may not be any good at some other thing. When they branch out to go outside of the things they are truly good at, they become inefficient and actually lose profit.
So there is a risk/reward element in diversification. It can be profitable, but it can also harm a firm.

Notes on the roots of epistemology in recursion
There is a necessary recursion at the very heart of epistemology. Epistemology can never be founded upon a principle of linearity, where thinking traces its origin to something that lies before thinking, and somehow emerges or grows out of it, because the very existence of this "before", whatever its nature, must always be assumed BY THINKING itself, as a distinction within thinking.
Therefore, the only proper starting point for an epistemology is the fundamental distinction OF distinction itself, by thinking FOR thinking, which constitutes the basis of all further distinction, and is implicit in it. The fundament of epistemology must be the recursive distinction of distinction. The nature of this self-distinction (distinction of distinction by distiction) is implicitly infinitely recursive, and identifies the very nature of thinking to be at its root one of distinction. Its implicit infinitude is a key aspect of thinking's foundation, with definite consequences. It means that thinking is fundamentally (not secondarily) FREE: its potential to distinguish is unlimited. There is nothing that lies outside of thinking's potential.
The consequences of this are more than epistemological, they are ontological. Thinking, infinite in its potential, is the power of distiction, which is always also the power of self-distinction. It is a power because it has effects: it creates WORLDS. There is no world that is not there for thinking's power to distinguish, and by distinguishing, create. This power of thinking, not human thinking only but thinking in the widest sense, is not only epistemological, but ontological in its nature. Every ontological world is accompanied by its inherent distinguishability in thinking, for thinking, by thinking, not as an emergent ougrowth of such a world, or as any type of secondary addition or overlay, let alone as an epiphenomenal, unnecessary mist, but as an intrinsic, necessary, simultaneous aspect. Thus when thinking finds its own foundations not outside itself in some pre-thinking ontology (an impossibility) but within itself as a recursion of itself, it meets and joins with ontology. Indeed, it is just here, in the primordial power of thinking, that ontology and epistemology find themselves to be a unity; the ontology of epistemology is the epistemology of ontology. The unity of thinking and being is at the very root of the cosmos. Any ontology must recognize its own impossibility without the power of thinking to distinguish; likewise any epistemology must recognize the BEING of thinking in its very first activity.
It is impossible to conceive of an epistemology (regardless of the knowing content of this epistemology) without ontology implicit in it AS thinking: thinking is being. Likewise it is impossible for an ontology (regardless of the particular nature of its existents) to exist without thinking implicit within it AS being: being is thinking.
Thus the epistemological power of distinction is also simultaneously an ontological power. All epistemological distinctions and ontological beings are derivative of this fundamental unity. This unity means that the ontological nature of the universe is not simply knowable in potential, but KNOWING as a fundamental activity implicit in its very existents (beings). The universe is a knowing-being, a being-knowing.
As there is ultimately only one universe (a universe of multiverses), there is likewise only one knowing. Rudolf Steiner indicates this by saying "there is only ONE thought-content of the world" (The Science of Knowing, p.68). This is why the fundamental activity of the spirit, WHAT THE SPIRIT IS, for Steiner, is the activity of knowing itself (knowing qua knowing and knowing as fundamentally the knowing of knowing, knowing knowing itself as the foundation of epistemology, its first distinction as a self-recursion). Steiner recognizes the unity of thinking and being when he mentions that "we actively bring the ideal world into manifestation" (ibid, p.43).
There is no distinction given by the senses alone; senses themseleves do not distiguish. Only thinking can distinguish, and where distinctions are made, thinking is already active. As we have already seen, the active power of thinking to distinguish is already present as being in the very foundation of the cosmos.
That the heart of epistemology must lie in a recursion can also be seen from another angle. Take any epistemology, with all its assumptions, principles, and logic. It can always be asked, "On what basis can I judge that these assumptions, principles, and logic are true? How can I know that they are valid starting points for epistemology?" This question reveals the very key to the beginning of any epistemology that wishes to be fundamental. An epistemology that does not answer this question from within itself must therefore find its own ground within principles, assumptions, and logic that lie outside itself. But any larger system that provided the basis for the judgment of the first is likewise subject to the same question. The resulting infinite regression can only be avoided by finding that place within epistemology which needs not, in any way, look beyond itself to see its source and ground. This ground must have the nature of being self-revealing to the activity of thinking. The first truth of epistemology must both reveal its nature and disclose its validity. It must be a place where thinking's activity and its content coincide in a unity. This unity has the nature of a recursion, a looping back on itself, and it is just this recursive quality that is central to its function as the basis for all further epistemology. Recursion is, in a very definite sense, the primal core of epistemology, the basis for all knowing, its very seed principle, the heart of its logic.
The starting place of epistemology, its center, has to be an epistemology of epistemology. It is, we cannot deny, only the activity of thinking itself that seeks its foundations in this way.
That thinking and being are fundamentally a unity is not meant to stand as an abstract principle but is meant as a sort of ongoing realization, a potential thread running throughout the actual activity of thinking that turns on itself to find its foundations. In the discipline of epistemology it is often mentioned that there is a very important distinction between "knowing THAT" and "knowing HOW"; the former is called declarative knowing and the latter performative knowing. But the distinction between these two types of knowing only arises when thinking turns upon itself in the fundamental epistemological act, and it is this very act that reveals its nature as such: to be both a knowing and a doing, to be simultaneously declarative and performative. The epistemology of epistemology is not simply to think ABOUT epistemology, but to PERFORM KNOWING. This performative knowing is the most important key we can discover, because it is the key that unlocks all the other keys. It is the archetypal key, made in the shape of the lock into which it fits.
There is more to the activity of thinking than making distinctions. Thinking is also a joining, a unifying. And the very act of unification is not separate from the act of distinguishing – they themselves form a unity. Of course this sounds like complete gibberish when taken at face value, or only as a declarative statement. The only way for such a sentence to make sense is if one doesn't think ABOUT the thought, but rather thinks the very thought itself. Of course that sentence will sound like gibberish as well unless its advice is heeded and thinking begins to reflect on the unfolding of its own activity as it is occuring. Let me explain.
That the power of distinction arises at the very heart of thinking is seen when thinking turns on itself and discovers that its foundations lie necessarily in the recursion inherent in the epistemology of epistemology. But this is not all that it discovers. If thinking revealed itself (to itself) only inasmuch as it carries the capacity to make distinctions, both this realization and thinking itself would never actually come about. Every distinction made by thinking is simultaneously a unification, in thinking, of the very thoughts distinguished. Their unity is comprised of, and revealed in, the very fact of the SINGLE activity ocurring in thinking itself. When thinking makes a distinction thinking itself does not divide, but holds itself in a unity by the very act of distinguishing. Thinking's unity rests directly upon its distinction. Indeed, it is possible to say that the very BEING of thinking is comprised by the unity revealed in its self-distinction. Thus thinking discovers itself to be a two-fold activity at its most fundamental level: it IS what unifies the distinctions it MAKES. The making of distinctions is the very source of its unity. This unity is not 'merely' epistemological, i.e. a unity of knowing, but is explicitly ontological, i.e. a unity of being. The activity whereby thinking discovers its ground leads knowing to being, and this is just what we would hope for a fundamental epistemology, that in seeking its roots thinking finds not merely an epistemological basis for itself, but actually unveils its very BEING in the strongest ontological sense. The roots of epistemology must simultaneously be the roots of ontology, otherwise being can never know itself and knowing can never be itself. The discovery of one entails the discovery of the other, because being and thinking are unified: in thinking AS being and in being AS thinking.
In the realm of cybernetic epistemology we can see that the distinction between a process and its content mirrors the discussion above. The fundamental cybernetic epistemological realization that every distinction is made by an observer (Heinz von Foerster) was not initially meant to carry some sort of universal claim about the nature of reality. It was, rather, a very practical insight about knowing systems: that any knowing is always a knowing FOR. A knowing system knows by making distinctions that matter to it, by perpetuating these distinctions in the context of its unfolding activity as the very basis for that activity. This is what Maturana and Varela call autopoiesis. The distinctions made by a knowing system create the context for the unfolding of its knowing. Yes, recursion is at the heart of cybernetic epistemology as well. The above discussion linking epistemology to ontology is essentially a way of getting at the same thing that von Foerster indicates, but in a stronger, more philosophically fundamental way. The discussion bears out his conclusions in a way he likely did not anticipate, but which leads to a conception of the nature of the spirit as performative knowing.
With all of the above in mind, we can begin to see that there is something a little funny about trying to know our knowing. Everything gets looped back on itself, and we never discover a ground outside of the activity itself that could support that very activity. It might be noticed that pains were taken to avoid any reference to the sense of "me-ness" or "I-ness" in discussing the foundations of epistemology. This lends a certain air of universal implication to the ideas, which is precisely what was intended, but is also (in addition to being highly distasteful in style for most contemporary philosophy, which has lost almost all its courage) slightly misleading. Hopefully in a future post I will have time to remedy this by considering this strange "I-ness" and "me-ness".

Let's see. With GOTOs:
1100 IF NOT(<condition>) THEN GOTO 1210
With WHILEs:
WHILE <condition> DO
1210 ..
END WHILE So those "several underlying comparison and branching operations" you talk about are exactly *two* operations. That's not a lot of abstraction. Certainly not comparable to the kind of abstraction that can be obtained with functions or classes, or the one that is obtained by using a tuple calculus vs. a tuple-set algebra. And since the remark was made in the context of query optimization that should be the amount of abstraction we were talking about when using words like "raising the level of abstraction".
1100 IF NOT(<condition>) THEN GOTO 1210
With WHILEs:
WHILE <condition> DO

In Mississippi it is a trailer.
All kidding aside:
1. That can't be the most expensive house on the market in Massachusetts, can it? It must be in some incredible location, because if you put that house in my neighborhood it would cost about $300,000 - the description would fit just about every house around here, including the size of the lot - but it is priced 100 times as high!
2. The one is Oregon is a shitbox, but one that happens to be sitting on 7500 acres of property. I'm not sure if it makes sense to call that that most expensive "house" for sale in Oregon since anybody who bought the property would immediately tear the house down.
3. I absolutely love the one in North Carolina. If I were rich, I would buy that!

As far as the Massachusetts house goes, you know the old saying: location, location, location. To me, that's actually the most desirable piece of property on the list.ReplyDelete
If the Massachusetts property is that valuable, then that house seems to be in the same category as the house in Oregon. If you are rich enough to buy the property for 30 million, you'd immediately tear down that house and build a much better one.ReplyDelete

Its been awhile since I've posted because I've been busy making my Halloween costume and planning for next year! Anyway, I've thought about it a lot, and I think I've made my decisions on what costume to do for each con next year. There is a chance I'll see something amazing and change my mind (new Game of Thrones in April!), but here is the tentative list. I will update this throughout the year.
Aela the Huntress – Momocon (Won Best in Show Master!), Dragon*Con
Magical Girl Nyan Cat (was Super Secret Original Costume) – Momocon, PAX East, Dragon*Con
Sailor V – Momocon, AWA
Cardcaptor Sakura – Seishun Con
Chibi Chibi Moon – Dragon*Con (group), AWA
Sheogorath – Dragon*Con
This was a very hard decision, but after deliberating over and over on which one to do for the Friday Night Costume Contest (aka the big kahuna of contests for me!), I decided on Sheogorath from Oblivion. It is just a stunning and incredibly challenging costume.
Lady Comstock and Comstock – Dragon*Con, Anachrocon 2014?
I'll be Lady Comstock from Bioshock Infinite, and I'm also making Comstock for my boyfriend. He's growing out his beard!

THE SOUTH AFRICAN NATIONAL ANTHEM: A HISTORY ON RECORD (extract)
By Siemon Allen
This text is extracted from an article on the early recordings of the South African National Anthem. The full version can be viewed at the Flaint blog.
"Die Stem" in Afrikaans
Uit die blou van onse hemel,
Uit die diepte van ons see,
Oor ons ewige gebergtes,
Waar die kranse antwoord gee,
Out of the blue of our heavens
Out of the depths of our seas
Over our everlasting mountains
Where the echoing crags resound104
Cornelis Jacob Langenhoven, an Afrikaans poet wrote the Die Stem, a patriotic poem with three verses in May of 1918. Born on a farm near Ladismith in the Klein Karoo in 1873, he was an educator, solicitor and the editor of a local Dutch newspaper. At that time English and Dutch were the two 'official' languages of South Africa while, for many, Afrikaans was simply viewed as a creolized language of convenience and often derogatively referred to as "kitchen-Dutch". Langenhoven was a proud and ardent supporter of Afrikaans and wrote extensively in support for it to be accepted in an official capacity. He is quoted as having said: "If Dutch is our Language, we must speak it, if Afrikaans is our Language, we must write it".105 Afrikaans was officially adopted alongside English as the national language of South Africa in 1925.
By some accounts, Langenhoven had composed music for his poem, but critics did not entirely approve of the version and so a competition, sponsored by the newly formed Cape Town newspaper, Die Burger, was organised in 1919. Interestingly the founding editor of that paper, D.F. Malan, would become South Africa's Prime Minister under the National Party when they took power in 1948. Finally the poem was set to music composed by Marthinus Lourens de Villiers and completed on May 31, 1920,106 the tenth anniversary of the formation of the Union of South Africa. Though most accounts have the final date for the composition as 1921.
De Villiers, was born in Paarl in the Cape in 1885, three years before his parents would open a music institute in Wellington. His mother, possibly of English heritage, taught him piano and his father, the organ, violin and harmony. He would subsequently also play clarinet in his father's brass band. De Villiers's was a composer, but also a pastor and educator. Seeing the destruction of the the Anglo-Boer war left him with a deep desire to identify with his Afrikaner roots and he, until his death in 1977, remained "a pro-Afrikaner volksman".107
In a 1975 interview De Villiers said that he had composed the music while living in Simontowns, a village on the False Bay side of the Cape Peninsula. He was looking out the window one day watching the waves crash on the beach with a backdrop of the Cape mountains and a clear blue sky:
"Net daar het ek die musiek vir Uit die blou van onse Hemel, uit die diepte van ons see, in my voel opwelm en dit dadelik neergeskryf."108
As mentioned earlier, Langenhoven's poem originally had only three verses, but a fourth verse was added, by some accounts at the request of the government, to bolster a religious theme. It is not clear to me at what point in the development of the anthem this occurred.
The first recording of the future anthem took place in London in 1926 on the Zonophone label and was made by Betty Steyn. While the song was recorded in 1926, and therefore in the smallest literal sense must have already been performed in public, it was only first "publicly performed", by most accounts, on Union Day, May 31st 1928 in Cape Town.110
Die Stem Van Suid-Afrika
Gallotone Singer, GE 292 (green label), matrix ABC 58.
It is likely that both these tracks were recorded around the time of the Voortrekker Eeufees or the Voortrekker Centenary Festival which took place in 1938. To be sure the opening introduction to the track by the ASAF Koor (Choir) mentions that it was recorded in the year of the Festival. The Voortrekker Centenary Festival was organised by Afrikaner Nationalists and included a re-enactment of the "Great Trek" which had occurred 100 years before when Afrikaner farmers, disgruntled with their situation in the Cape, moved into the interior of South Africa. The Festival re-enactment began in Cape Town on August 8th, 1938116 and ended with the laying of the cornerstone at the site of the Voortrekker Monument near Pretoria on December 16th, 1938.117 It is not clear at what point the recording is made during the Festival, but I suspect the later date may be the correct one.
As the South African Music Encyclopedia (SAME) reveals, the ASAF Choir was founded in the home of S.J. Buys in Johannesburg on July 5th, 1920. H.A. Delen, the choir's first conductor, was soon replaced by Johan Bernard Zulch Keet in 1921 who stayed with the Choir until 1963.118 It is Keet who is conducting the Turffontein Choir on this recording as the spoken introduction points out. The Turffontein Choir was formed in 1924 and was one of several smaller choirs that would rehearse separately. These choirs would then all come together as the ASAF Choir for larger events. The choir featured at many official events like the one on this disc and was sought after for other Afrikaans cultural festivals.119 Note that this is the same Choir under Keet that sings the official bilingual production of Die Stem and The Call issued by the SABC in 1960.
The Boer War between colonial England and the two Boer republics ended in 1902 and subsequently in 1910 the Union of South Africa was formed as a dominion of the British Empire. In the 1920s, a compromise between Afrikaner Nationalists on one side, and the pro-British English-speaking population on the other — both white — was for the country to have two flags and two anthems: the Union Flag flown side by side with the Union Jack and Die Stem van Suid-Afrika sung together with God Save the King (or Queen).
The Federasie van Afrikaanse Kultuurverenigings (FAK) or Federation of Afrikaans Cultural Societies was formed in Bloemfontein in 1929 with the main objective of promoting Afrikaans with a co-ordinated and constructive agenda.114 The organisation also had the goal of reaching a consensus amongst Afrikaners on an anthem in Afrikaans that could be sung side-by-side with God Save the King. The Union of South Africa, then under the dominion of the British Empire, had adopted this anthem with its formation in 1910. In 1936 the FAK finally and unanimously accepted the poem by Langenhoven set to the music of De Villiers as the Afrikaans national anthem.115 It is not clear to me when Die Stem was officially accepted by the government to be played alongside God Save the Queen though it is possible that this had already been taking place since the anthem was first publicly performed in 1928.
The role played by Eban Dönges in the eventual adoption of Die Stem van Suid-Afrika as the only official national anthem is quite interesting as is revealed in Anton Ettiene Bekker's biography.120 Dönges was acting Prime Minister of South Africa for eight days after the assassination of Hendrik Verwoerd in September of 1966, but was subsequently replaced by B.J. Vorster. He was then elected State President in June of 1967, but before taking office fell into a coma after having a stroke, and eventually died in January 1968.121
When the National Party came into power in 1948, beyond implementing grand-apartheid, the Afrikaner nationalists also had an agenda of transforming the Union into a Republic and declaring independence from Britain by leaving the British Commonwealth. Part of the goal was to figure out a strategy of stripping the country of its British colonial symbols. Dönges, joined D.F. Malan's cabinet as the Minister of the Interior in June of 1948. Sixteen months later in September of 1949, the Afrikaanse Taal en Kutuuvereniging (ATKV) or Afrikaans Language and Culture Organisation wrote to Dönges stating that in order to establish national unity, that Die Stem van Suid-Afrika should be declared the only national anthem, and a version should be translated into English. In September 1950, Donges established a committee, chaired by H.A Fagan, to work on a legitimate translation.122 Dönges as Bekker points out was quite enthusiastic about the whole project and even translated some lines of the anthem himself:
"'n Aanduiding van hoe entoesiasties Dönges was, is die veit dat hy self sy hand gewaag het aan die vertaling van sommige strofes en ook veranderinge aangebring het aan van die voorstelle wat ontvang is en later as "The Call of South Africa" die lig gesien het".123
Subsequently the English translation became known as "The Call of South Africa" and was first published in 1952 and also accepted for official use. But as the matter was still quite controversial, both the Union Jack and God Save the Queen were also still officially used. Moreover both anthems continued to be played after various non-official events, such as at the close of radio broadcasts, or at the end of films in theatres. All the while the Nationalists continued to advocate a position of one flag, one anthem as the only path to achieve comprehensive national unity. In February 1954 a National Party MP, J.P. Basson submitted a motion to the assembly calling for a single flag and anthem. Within two weeks the management of African Consolidated Theatres dropped the British anthem from the close of screenings. Support for the elimination of the dual anthem reached a crossroad when two conservative English-speaking members of Parliament, Arthur Barlow and Frank Wearing, advocated for the single flag, single anthem policy, in March 1956, with Die Stem van Suid-Africa as the only national anthem.124
Interestingly, as Bekker reveals, the debates that followed in the House of Assembly proved to be quite heated. For example, Douglas Mitchell, a United Party MP, rejected the motion on account that it bred division, but also noted that there was an additional anthem being sung by millions of black South Africans: Nkosi Sikelel iAfrika.
"Die Verenigde Party se Douglas Mitchell (Natalse Suidkus) het die mosie verwerp omdat dit 'n sensitiewe saak was wa verdeeldheid aangewakker het. Hy het daarop gewys dat daar nog 'n volkslied - Nkosi Sikele iAfrika - is wat deur miljoene swartes in die Unie gesing is."125
The motion at that time however was tabled. But support both in the Afrikaans and surprisingly in the English press for the single flag, single anthem policy continued. In March 1957 Barlow, the conservative English-speaking MP, this time submitted a private bill to Parliament calling for the Union flag to be adopted. Dönges, as Bekker continues, suggested that a single flag by implication also implies a single anthem, though the anthem did not require a legislative amendment. Thus it was left to Prime Minister J.G. Strijdom, to declare in parliament on May 2nd 1957 that Die Stem van Suid-Afrika would be the only national anthem of the country.126
The controversy was felt worldwide within the British Commonwealth and made the front pages of papers like the Ottawa Citizen. Dönges, the newspaper reported, had to roll back Strijdom's statement somewhat by saying that God Save the Queen would still be played at official functions where appropriate.127 The British anthem though from then on was dropped. South Africa would eventually leave the Commonwealth and become a Republic on May 31st, 1961.
The government sought to claim the copyright of Die Stem van Suid Afrika from the estate of Langenhoven and officially acquired the rights to the poem in the Copyright Act of 1959.128 View a PDF of that document here.

text: Hi, WinMerge is a great tool. However, I have one issue that has been a problem for me. I have a 4 core HT system (8 effective cores). When I do a large recursive directory comparison, it takes quite a while and doesn't seem to use all of my cores, which implies to me that perhaps it is not using multiple threads for the comparison. Since files are independent of each other, it seems like it should at least spawn a thread for each file up to 1 to 2 times the number of effective cores, so in my case it would be comparing 8-16 files at a time and utilizing all of my cores. Does WinMerge use multiple threads in this manner? Thanks, Mark
