Tunis, 10 May 2006 – The African Development Fund (ADF), the concessional window of the African Development Bank (ADB) Group will support a project to improve electricity supply and network efficiency in Cameroon. The ADF Board today approved a loan of UA49.65 million (equivalent to 60 million Euros) for the partial financing of a five-year investment programme by AES Sonel, an integrated electric power utility in Cameroon.
The project will involve the rehabilitation and renovation of generating facilities, reinforcement and construction of high voltage lines and transformer stations, and the reinforcement and extension of the medium and low voltage grid. About 50,000 new customers will be connected to the grid per year and 1,549,852 subscribers by 2021.
The main components of the programme include: energy generation, energy transmission, energy distribution projects as well as projects to strengthen dams.
The total project cost is estimated at 380 million Euros. The ADF loan will finance 15.7% of the total investment and some recurrent costs. AES Sonel will contribute 140 Million Euros (37%) and other lenders 135 Million Euros (35%) of the total costs.
The Bank Group's operations in Cameroon started in 1972. To date, the cumulative commitment of the ADB Group in the country amounts to about UA 650 million equivalent to 516 billion FCFA in 69 operations.

The MoJack has huge barrel with lots of cooking space. With the 24 inch model, you are going to have 418 in.² to cook on. You will easily be able to read and monitor the temperature with the LED digital temperature control. This model has a bottom storage rack, which makes a great place for you to put extra pellets or tools that you will use for cooking.
So after some research I felt like I had two choices. I could either spend $1800 on a new Traeger Timberline and double down on Traeger (hoping like crazy they fixed the heat issue) or spend literally half the money and get the sure thing. And by the way, if you feel like you absolutely Must have wifi to monitor, just buy a Woodwind and an iGrill 2 (wifi enabled) and you'll still save $800!
Speaking of competition cooks, you'll find that many competition BBQ pitmasters who use Pellet grills as their primary means of cooking are among the more well rested come Saturday. The next step we'll cover in this selection of Pellet Grill Reviews is getting your pellet grill / smoker up and running. Again, what you may not see in may Pellet Grill Reviews is repeated mention that you're not going to get that "deep smoke" flavor profile using a pellet smoker. Though, this can be achieved by using something like the Amazen Pellet Tube Smoker 12″.
You want your smoker to retain heat and to maintain a constant temperature. If you purchase something that's inexpensive, yet made with a thin metal, you're going to regret it because you're going to be constantly fighting with the temperature. You could purchase the best smoker pellets, but if you don't have a high quality smoker, it is all for not.
Am considering adding a pellet grill to my fleet, have champagne taste on a beer budget. Have a smoke hollow smoker (lp) that works awesome, a cheap charbroil gril, and a holland I picked up used. Tried the holland because I got tired of flareups but it is slow, a coffee can over the stacks until it warms up helps but you don't want to walk away from it that way. I like the idea of something you don't have to baby sit. Any reviews on the traeger grills? I like the looks of the traeger jr, has nice features, portable and enough room for most of the things I want. Also are these grills affected by wind and do they work in cold weather? I live in ND and like to use them in the winter as long as the temp is above 10 degrees or so.
Pellets are made from different woods, each of which imparts a distinctive flavor to the meat. Hickory, oak, maple, alder, apple, cherry, hazelnut, peach, and mesquite are among the flavors available. For more about pellets, read my article, The Science of Wood. There is a pretty good forum for people who have pellet cookers at PelletSmoking.com and of course our Pitmaster Club has a lively discussion on them with many active users.
Feel free to contact us if you need further information or have any question, we will be more than happy to assist you. The Camp O...ven Pizza Stone will cook the perfect pizza anytime, anywhere. Made of Cordierite ceramic fire brick, the Pizza Stone absorbs excess moisture and evenly distributes heat to give a light, crispy, golden brown crust. Cook like the pros where ever you go. Great for calzones too! It fits perfectly in any Camp Oven, most Professional Barbecue Boxes and works great in your home oven. Hihg quality products and best service. read more
How? I just sold my house and left the Traeger with it. Now in Mexico and thinking of buying a Green Mountain. I would like to get a little more smoke flavor than what I was able to with my Traeger (which I loved). So how can you use other hard wood to enhance the smoke flavor? Also comment on how to use the tube smoker in one of these pellet fed grills. With 1 1/2″ rib eye, I would smoke for 45 minutes then crank up the heat to about 350 for 13 minutes and it would provide a perfect rare steak every time.
The Tailgater 20 Series Freestanding Grill is one of the best wood pellet grills from Traeger for those who like to cook away from home. It's small and lightweight enough that you can load it in your car for tailgating before the big game, cooking while camping or grilling at the park. The ash bucket collects all ash created, which makes cleaning up before heading home easier.
A portable offering from Green Mountain Grills, the Davy Crocket is the most affordable pellet grill on our list, and the only one with WiFi capability. It's compact, weighs only 57 pounds, and has folding legs so you can pack it up and bring it camping, tailgating, or to the beach. That's something you can't do with the Traeger Pro 22, and something we're really excited about.
Traeger's, unlike other models, have a temperature probe, these sensors tell it if the temperature is too low and automatically feeds more pellets to the fire. You can set up the temperature in 5-degree increments. Other brands and cheaper versions only offer three settings low, medium and high. There is no sensor to monitor the temperature. If you are purchasing a pellet grill it is because you can set it and forget it. If you plan to hoover then it makes more sense to use a standard smoker or to transform your grill into a smoker.
A: As another key question that many individuals are asking for, users want to know if the grill is water resistant. Now, the inside of the grill in no scenario should be exposed to water. However, the exterior of the grill, once covered can be exposed to water. However, it is always best to ensure that the grill is powder coated and is able to withstand a bit of moisture, so it does not rust. If this is the case, then an individual will need a grill cover, which brings us to the next question.
Now, I will be very honest with this topic here. While prices vary from model to model and brand to brand, one thing to understand is that the best pellet grills are made with the best materials, made by keeping consumers needs in mind, made with intelligent designs and features that can serve and last a long time. There are pellet grills in the market ranging from extremely cheap and affordable to very expensive, and sometimes even unnecessarily expensive. While there are exceptions in many cases, the blatant truth is that good stuff will cost an extra penny. This is why I will be giving you my pellet grill review, so that you can see and identify your specific needs and buy a grill according to that instead on spending a fortune on low quality or unnecessarily multiple-feature grills.

Wood pellets are small pieces of hardwood made from compressed sawdust from hardwood. Generally, some wood pellets made for room heating and stoves are produced using some form of binding agent like glue and other additives, which would leave a bad taste and flavor when used for cooking. However, for modern-day grilling, wood pellets are made of pure wooden sawdust and sometimes a little bit of vegetable oil to help it burn. So, nowadays, wood pellets are even better than the real wood chips for grilling.
Whenever you want to smoke with a pellet smoker, you will have to make a choice: What type of wood pellets should I use? Well, the answer may sound simple – whichever flavor you like the best – but might be pretty difficult if you're smoking for the first time. Unfortunately, the only way to know which flavor you like most is to try them all at least once and then decide upon which one floats your boat.

Hey Brad, you've got 3 great grills there. Rec Tec has the edge on Pellet quantity. I like the build quality and support on the Grilla a bit better, especially with the extra insulation and updated comp wheel set up. Figure 10 min or so to get to top temps. Just remember to drop to around 300 F temp setting before going into the shut down cycle on any pellet grill if you're cranking it up to the highest setting.
You want a set-it-and-forget-it option: Traeger grills work best when they're allowed to cook and smoke the food over long periods of time. As long as the system has fresh wood pellets in the hopper to feed the fire box, it will be able to maintain a steady temperature. So you can set up the grill and then leave it for half an hour, a couple of hours, or even longer, something that's difficult to do with other grilling systems.
I cannot comment on the quality or Function of the Grills as I never received mine. I order a Texas Elite 34 at the Minnesota State Fair on Aug. 23rd for $899 with a few extras and was told this was the lowest price ever (Not True). They did not tell me about the pro series which I found later. They said it would be delivered within 7 days. 2 weeks later no grill so I called customer service just asking on when I would get the grill. They could not find my order and did not believe I ordered one... They said I had to email them my receipt as they could do nothing on the phone.
So back to the Internet for one last attempt on making a decision on the smoker that is of great quality and can also fill my need grilling needs as well. I am almost sold on the Rec Tec, but I'm curious about the Grilla Grill Silverbac. It's a little smaller than RT and metal is a gauge off from the RT. It doesn't run off a PID system but a digital controller and is priced at $699. I do like the underneath storage of the Grilla and the second tier cooking grates.
Thank you so much for this very informative post!! My husband and I just bought the Traeger Select Elite Pellet Grill On Cart yesterday as a somewhat impulsive buy on a Costco shopping trip. It was the last day in the road show so I figured we could always return it if we have buyer's remorse. Having no past experience with pellet smokers/grills, I am doing my due diligence in researching the reputation of this company and comparing to others in the market. The selling point for us with this particular Traeger grill was the ability to convert this to a built in unit by simply taking off the right side shelf. The sales rep at Costco had a picture of one that his parents had built into an attractive brick surround and we liked the option, however, after reading your post and several other sites, I am finding that Traeger may not be the best investment comparatively and with a purchase this expensive, long-term quality is extremely important to us. In staying within the same price range, I am very interested in the Rec-Tec and it's stainless steel build. My question is, do you know if the Rec-Tec or another pellet grill @ the $1000 price point can be made to look "built-in" and if so, are there any dangers or potential problems with this.
I've seen a lot of pellet smokers over the years, and it's easy to say that out of every one, the RecTec is without a doubt a beast. It combines exceptional cooking performance with fantastic build quality and a thoughtfulness of design that you just don't see in other smokers. Or a lot of other products. Not only that, but it's one of the easiest smokers I've ever used, with professional quality cooking literally at the push of a button
A pellet grill often comes with many facilities that are usually not available on any other grilling appliances. One of them is its temperature control and settings. This is a huge advantage for inexperienced cooks who do not have the understanding and years of experience of pit masters who know how to cook different foods on different temperatures. This also means that you do not have to fiddle and fidget around with the heat every 2 minutes after slapping on the steak on to the grills.
You want your smoker to retain heat and to maintain a constant temperature. If you purchase something that's inexpensive, yet made with a thin metal, you're going to regret it because you're going to be constantly fighting with the temperature. You could purchase the best smoker pellets, but if you don't have a high quality smoker, it is all for not.
With a temperature probe for the meat inside the chamber, this allows you to keep an eye on the temperature of your meat without opening the grill. Nothing ruins a brisket or roast faster than the griller who constantly fiddles with the meat on the grill. Opening the chamber lets the heat out and that can quickly make for some tough meat. This handy feature takes the guesswork out of how ready your meal is, helping you get the best outcome.
For me, grilling is a way to communicate to the people in my life that I love them and to easily involve others in my passions and hobbies. So, to be able to guarantee perfection in every meal isn't just about eating well, it's about reliably being able to put my best foot forward with these people who matter. And the remarkable thing about the Traeger is that you can expect to be able to do the same from the very first time you use it.

camera "name" camera_statements end camera
A camera describes a view of the scene,
including the list of files to write, the lens shaders to use, volume shaders to be used as the global atmosphere or fog, global environment shaders that control what happens to rays that leave the scene, and other parameters.
Cameras are scene entities that need to be placed in the scene with an instance element. In object space mode (see options element above), the location of the camera in world space is determined by the camera instance transformation. Note that the camera instance must be attached to the root instance group of the scene. See below for information on instance groups.
Cameras contain buffer statement which lists named framebuffers, image files and properties associated to them.
framebuffer "framebuffername" [datatype "datatype"] [filename "filename"] [filetype "filetype"] [filtering <bool>] [colorprofile "color profile"] [compression "compression"] [quality "quality"] [dod <bool>] [dpi <int>] [primary <bool>]
If a filename is associated with a framebuffer, it would be written to that output file after all output shaders are applied. filtering specifies if the image filtering would be applied on the specified buffer. it corresponds to the "+" and "-" sign prepending the image type used in mental ray 3.5 and older versions. If specified, colorprofile would be applied to the image before writing it out.
The quality and compression properties can be used by the image format in order to choose compression type and factor.For the OpenEXR file forma the available compression modes are "none", "rle", "piz", "zip", and "pxr24". These mean no compression, run-length encoding, wavelet-based compression, Huffman dictionary compression, and an efficient but lossy (for floating-point data, which loses 8 of 32 bits) rounding method, respectively. The fastest ones are normally RLE or ZIP; PIZ usually achieves better compression but is much slower; if there are many very large textures a scene can render much slower. The OpenEXR manual recommends PXR24 for depth maps. mental ray 3.3 and earlier always use ZIP compression; mental ray 3.4 defaults to RLE.
The dod and dpi are passed to the image callback to allow storing them to the image file for image file formats which support them.
The primary flags marks the default color framebuffer. This flag may be set on a single framebuffer only. If the framebuffer syntax is used, the separate declaration of user framebuffers in the options block is not required.
Cameras contain output statements that specify output shaders and output files to write to disk, and control which frame buffers mental ray creates and maintains during rendering. More than one output file can be created, and output shaders such as filters can be listed that operate on the final rendered image, before it is written to a picture file. outputs is one or more output statements. Output statements are very similar to shader lists, like lens shader statements, but the syntax is different to allow type specifications and output file names:
output "datatype" "shader_name" ( parameters ) output [colorprofile "profile_name"] ["datatype"] "filetype" [options] "filename"
The first kind of output statement calls an output shader, such as a filter, that may operate on all available frame buffers. Here, the datatype may be a comma-separated list of types if the shader requires multiple frame buffers. Each type can be prefixed with a "+" or "-" to turn interpolation on or off. Interpolation is averaging for color, depth, and normal images and max'ing for label images. Interpolation is on by default for the standard color frame buffer and off by default for all others. For example, a shader that filters the standard RGBA image with a filter whose size depends on the distance of objects needs both the interpolated RGBA buffer and the interpolated depth buffer, and would have a data type "rgba,+z". In mental ray 3.5 and earlier versions, the order of all framebuffer declarations was significant. In mental ray 3.6, all output shaders are applied before any of the images is written out to disk.
The second kind of output statements is kept for compatibility with mental ray 3.5 and earlier versions. The framebuffer interface described above provides a more powerful mechanism. The output statement writes an image to a file named filename, using the file format filetype. Normally, file formats imply a data type, but the defaults can be overridden by naming an explicit datatype. For example, the file type "rgb", which stands for a SGI RGBA image file, implies the data type "rgba". The optional colorprofile may be used to transform results stored in the color frame buffer to a desired color space before they are written to the output file. This option may only be used if a render color profile had been specified in the options block.
The options specify additional format related parameters. Currently, the "jpg" file format supports one option quality q, where q is an integer value between 0 and 100. Lower values force higher lossy compression resulting in lower image quality. A quality value of 0 will cause the use of the default quality 75. For Softimage "pic" file formats, the options keywords even and odd are available to set the corresponding fields in the file header.
The data type "rgbe"3.1 that stores high dynamic range RGBE data is normally used for formats
that understand RGBE data ( "hdr" or "cth"), but
it can also be stored in any format that accepts 8-bit RGBA. This
will result in image files that cannot be displayed with standard
viewers, but tools exist that can process such data. For example,
the following output statement
will store RGBE data in an RLA file:
output "+rgbe" "rla" "file1.rla"
Unless there is also a true floating-point buffer ( "rgba_fp"), specification of the "rgbe" type will switch mental ray's color frame buffer to RGBE mode because its high dynamic range is considered a superset of regular RGB. This can significantly reduce memory usage for large frame buffers, like 4000x4000, compared to floating-point frame buffers which are four times as large. Note that RGBE stores no alpha. In version 3.4 of mental ray, frame buffers are stored in frame buffer files on disk to allow arbitrary frame buffer sizes and arbitrary numbers of frame buffers.
The data types "fb0" through "fb7" refer to
user frame buffers 0...7. The
limitation to eight frame
buffers has been removed in mental ray 3.4. User frame buffers
are defined in the options statement using frame buffer
statements. The actual data type of fb n is the
type of frame buffer n. For example, the output statements
output "+rgba" "rgb" "file1.rgb" output "fb0" "ctfp" "file2.ct"
write the standard frame
buffer to the image file file1.rgb, and then write the
contents of user frame buffer 0 to the image file
file2.ct. This assumes that the options block contains a
statement that defines user frame buffer 0, such as:
frame buffer 0 "+rgba_fp"
User frame buffers are empty
unless some shader writes to them during rendering. Their purpose
is to collect nonstandard image data during rendering, and to make
the data available for output shading and image file
A special data type "contour" can be specified that
enables contour rendering. Special
contour output shaders must be
specified that pick up the contour information from the contour
cell frame buffer and compute a
color image, which it can either put into the regular color frame
buffer, or composite on top of the color frame buffer. In the
latter case, one rendering phase creates a color image with
contours. The color frame buffer can then be written to an image
file using a regular image output
statement. There is also a built-in contour output shader that
creates a PostScript file instead of a color image; see section
contoursh on page contoursh for details and
Multipass rendering is a
feature set that allows saving the results of rendering not in the
form of image files, but in the form of sample lists. A sample is
the result of a single primary eye ray, including all collected
frame buffer information.
Oversampling creates more than one sample per pixel, which are
filtered to compute the pixel. Since multipass rendering operates
on samples, it has access to the complete set of subpixel
information, and does not suffer from pixel aliasing problems as
image compositing does. mental ray also supports merging of
multiple pass file, sample by sample, to generate the final
filtered output images. Finally, mental ray supports pass
preprocessing, which is a function with random access to a single
pass file to perform operations such as subpixel motion blur
All multipass rendering functionality is controlled by a script in the camera definition, consisting of five types of statements:
pass null pass [ "types" ] write "filename" pass merge [ "types" ] read [ "filename ", "filename", ... ] [ write "filename" ] [ function ( parameters ) ] pass prep [ "types" ] read "filename" write "filename" function ( parameters ) pass delete "filename"
Pass statement lists are similar to output statement lists, which also allow storing and processing data in order.
pass null
pass merge
pass prep
The execution order of statements is important. Before rendering, all pass prep statements are executed in order; during rendering all pass and pass merge statements are executed in order for every finished rectangle; and after rendering all pass delete statements are executed. It is important to note that pass and pass merge statements are executed for every finished rectangle; this allows mental ray to minimize memory usage because only small sets of samples reside in memory at any one time. It also means that a pass prep statement cannot operate on the currently rendered pass because the pass prep function runs before rendering begins. In general, no two pass or pass merge statements should write to the same filename; this would result in sample data loss because of the per-rectangle interleaving.
All files are created before reading begins; hence, a pass prep statement should not read from a file written to during rendering, and the write filename should not be identical to any read filenames in any statement. In general, all filenames written to should be unique. The pass delete statement was provided to clean up temporary pass files after rendering. Pass files can become quite large, often in the hundreds of megabytes if the resolution, oversampling parameters, and the number and size of frame buffers is large. Note that only mental ray 3.2 and later compress pass files.
The types string controls which frame buffer are written to the pass file. Types apply to the write statement only. The syntax is the same as for output and frame buffer statements, such as +rgba_fp,z". The default is the set of frame buffers defined by the output statement. Note that the main RGBA frame buffer is always written as floating-point RGBA, and that a depth (Z) frame buffer is always present, regardless of the type specification.
See page renderpass for more information on multipass rendering.
There is a variety of camera_statements that can be listed in the camera. Some of them can be overridden by specifying an appropriate command-line option; see Appendix cmdline.
There are four camera statements that accept shader lists: output, lens, volume, and environment. As with all types of shaders, more than one shader can be listed, or more than one such statement can be given, to attach multiple shaders (or output files in the case of the output statement) to each type. In an incremental change (the incremental keyword is used before the camera keyword), each of the four first resets the list from the previous incremental change and does not add to the existing list, as multiple statements inside the same camera ... end camera block would.
The following camera_statements are supported:
focal distance | infinity
aperture aperture
aspect aspect
resolution xint yint
offset x y
window x_lowint y_lowint x_highint y_highint
clip hither yon
volume [ shader_list]
environment [ shader_list]
lens [ shader_list]
frame frameint [ time ] [ field fieldint ]

Intermedia news
Introducing NEW Exchange Email plans with lower pricing!
Posted on September 8, 2017
Our new Exchange Email plans are designed to provide essential, enterprise-grade business email services at a price point SMB customers can afford.
Intermedia makes announcements and appears in the news on a regular basis. Check in on the latest Intermedia happenings.
We are pleased to share that Intermedia has acquired substantially all the assets of AnyMeeting, a company that offers web conferencing, video conferencing, and webinar services.
Intermedia's new tiered program rewards partners the more they sell. New monthly recurring revenue (MRR) targets are determined at the end of the calendar year, so for each level you reach this year, you'll receive those benefits for the rest of 2017 and all of 2018!
Intermedia Unite was been reviewed again by PC Magazine and received a rating of excellent, along with supporting commentary about how Intermedia Unite is a very strong choice for businesses seeking a reliable cloud PBX with a generous amount of features.
Intermedia has been working closely with Polycom and Yealink vetting a selection of IP desk phones that continue to deliver on this ongoing quality commitment to our users. After hundreds of hours of lab-testing, we settled on several new phone models that made the grade.
If you want to increase your revenues in your security business line, there is nothing better than showing prospects where they have security gaps. And SecuriSync from Intermedia, now with Bitdefender anti-malware and antivirus, can help you since it automatically scans all your customer' files, detects the infected ones and moves them to a quarantine folder in SecuriSync.
The Intermedia Unite™ Desktop and Mobile Applications bring collaboration tools together, making teamwork easier than ever! Now, Unite users can place and receive calls, see who is available, chat with colleagues, share screens, start video calls and share files all from one application—in the office or on-the-go.
With this integration, all files are automatically scanned to provide that extra layer of protection to keep your files and content safe, healthy, and secure. This additional level of security for a file backup and share solution is something that many other similar services don't provide.
Intermedia has been a leading provider of cloud Exchange for over a decade. We are PC Magazine Editors' choice for Exchange Email and have been the first to market with every version of cloud Exchange since 2000.
With 25 years in B2B tech marketing, Scott has made a career of building technology brands, accelerating business demand, driving go-to-market strategies, and increasing loyalty for companies that range from start-ups to Fortune 500 enterprises.

We're kicking the series off on Tuesday, September 25th, and we'll have new 30-minute sessions every other Tuesday at 12pm ET / 9am PT. During each session, our Sales Engineers will host a live demo, conduct Q&A, and review important information. You don't want to miss this!
As technology continues to advance and facilitate the future of work, it's time for organizations to recognize the future of employee expectations as well. From mobile applications to video conferencing to email and voice assistance, employees want technology that works for them, not the other way around.

On moonlit nights on the Pine Ridge Reservation, the Holy Rosary Mission School graveyard could be seen clearly through the tall windows of our third floor dormitory. As the moonlight reflected off of the tombstones those of us sleeping near the big windows hid our heads under the covers. One night many years ago a Jesuit priest saw something burning in the graveyard. He went to investigate and saw the image of the Devil glowing on a tombstone. He put out the fire and called a Brother to chisel the image of the Devil off of the tombstone. To this very day if one comes across that tombstone, the face of the Devil, now nearly obliterated, can still be seen and the tips of its horns are still visible. One Halloween KEVN-TV in Rapid City sent a news team to the mission school to tape the image on the tombstone for the nightly news. There were many spooky stories that emanated from the mission boarding school, now called Red Cloud. One story I can verify was the organ that played eerie tunes and could be heard in our dormitory into the wee hours of the night. One of the more popular stories again originated from our dormitory. There are those students who swore that oftentimes, late at night, they would wake up and see a nun dressed in black floating through the aisles between the bunk beds. We were often awakened in the middle of the night to the sound of something rolling down the concrete steps that led to the dormitory. It as if a bowling ball was rolling down the steps and pausing for a short time on each step before bouncing to the next step. I heard that sound several times and to this day none of the students have ever figured out what was making those chilling sounds. There was one very spooky reality that every student experienced. In the dark of the night after all of us had finally fallen asleep we would wake up to the squeak, squeak of leather shoes pacing between the rows of our bunk beds. We would listen and pull the covers over our heads, but we knew it was a Jesuit prefect trying to walk silently between the rows of beds in the dorm to check on the students. But I'll never forget how spooky that squeaky sound was in the dark hours of the night. Across America there are spooky stories about Indian hospitals and BIA Indian boarding schools. The Indian Health Service Hospital in Rapid City, SD, known locally as "Sioux San," can be a spooky place for those working the late night shift. There are sounds of people talking and babies crying that Sioux San employees swear they have heard. The former Stewart Indian School in Nevada has been the subject of haunting stories. Visitors to the school, now closed, swear they can hear children laughing and crying and these sounds echo through the empty hallways. Stories of spirits and ghosts were common on the reservation. Every community had its own story. But the one that rings true to me because I lived in that community was a story that was born at Wounded Knee. The elders would sit on the benches in front of the Wounded Knee Trading Post on the warm summer evenings when I was a boy and talk in whispers. My father worked for the Gildersleeve family, the owners of the Trading Post and we lived in one of the cabins in the community. I used to listen with interest and fear as they talked about the bitter, cold nights in December when the cries of frightened women and the terrifying screams of children could be heard echoing through the woods and canyons around Wounded Knee. The Massacre at Wounded Knee happened on a freezing winter day on December 29, 1890. Perhaps it was the suggestion of the elders that became reality to me because one winter night in December I swear that I heard these mournful and frightening sounds outside of my cabin window. I pulled the covers over my head and listened and then I wondered if it was just the wind in the trees that had frightened me. Tim Giago, an Oglala Lakota, was born, raised and educated on the Pine Ridge Reservation. He is the recipient of the H. L. Mencken Award from the Baltimore Sun, the Honor Award for Distinguished Service to Journalism by the University of Missouri School of Journalism and the Golden Quill Award from the International Society of Weekly Newspaper Editors.

battlefield did turn up, so I will be on tonight
There will be several large updates so if you haven't already, I suggest you start kicking them off now!battlefield did turn up, so I will be on tonight
Hope you enjoyed it.good games tonight, I deffo need better guns and equipment though
I tend to change classes during the course of a game depending on what is needed and whether or not I am working on any awards. I'd say I play Assault the most but I do like to switch to Support at times and will play a Medic when I think it's useful to do so (usually going by the balance of the squad). Recon I don't use that much as I'm not a very good sniper but I will play the class from time-to-time. I also try and jump into vehicles and especially planes when I get the chance.when I started to get the hang of it I was able to flank, the problem then I had was damage drop off but I enjoyed it none the less, I will use a different class next time
I hope you all feel better soon!I would have joined you, but we are all ill, and being at deaths door and having to look after an ill baby as well as listen to a grown man moan constantly that he's dying is just horrible.

A vote for Balad would allow us to be partners for change in the deepest possible sense
An Israeli flag flutters, with Jerusalem's Old City in the background, on 27 March (AFP)
Electioneering in Israel has entered the home stretch, with party propaganda – and public discourse in general – degenerating into a mixture of slogans, mudslinging and distortions, even more glaring than usual.
Emmanuel Macron has described anti-Zionism as a new form of antisemitism. Yet by associating all French Jews with the state of Israel, he risks fueling resentment between the victims of racism.

Rallies have taken place around France to denounce a recent rise in anti-Semitic acts, but there remains no consensus on the most effective way to confront or even describe the issue.

What is COPELFI?
COPELFI is the "Association pour les Conferences de Psychiatrie de l'Enfant et de l'Adolescent en Langue Française en Israël," a joint association of French and Israeli child and adolescent psychiatrists. It was founded in 1989 by the French psychiatrists G. Gachnochi and M. Vincent, in partnership with the Israeli psychiatrist S. Tyano, with the goal of "promoting the exchange of clinical and therapeutic experience between child psychiatric professionals within France and Israel, as well as to stimulating creativity and acquainting our colleagues in Israel with new modes of thinking developed in France."

MicroRNA inhibition is a powerful technique for determining the function of a microRNA. Here, we have assembled five important tips for successful silencing experiments.
Successful outcome of microRNA functional analysis starts with a careful choice of the inhibitor best suited for your experiment.
Optimizing transfection efficiencies is crucial for maximizing microRNA inhibition while minimizing secondary effects. Transfection efficiency varies according to cell type and the transfection reagent used. The optimal combination of cell type, transfection reagent and transfection conditions must be determined empirically. For more information download our microRNA inhibitor manual.
Before attempting to analyze the consequences of suppressing microRNA activity you need to ascertain that efficient microRNA inhibition is achieved by transfection with the LNA™ oligo. Consequently, you need to develop an assay for microRNA activity. Use functional assays! Look for de-repression of validated or predicted microRNA targets and remember that you may have to look at protein levels since microRNAs often have only a modest direct effect on target mRNA stability. Alternatively, develop a plasmid-based assay by inserting microRNA target sites in the 3'UTR of a reporter gene such as luciferase. Don't rely on microRNA qPCR! It is prone to yield false positive results (1 – see also our tech note) and if the LNA™ oligo ends up in the RNA sample it might interfere with the RT-qPCR assay.
All oligonucleotides are cytotoxic and have secondary effects at high concentrations. Perform dose response studies to determine the lowest concentration of LNA™ oligo at which efficient microRNA inhibition is achieved. Use this concentration to study the phenotypic consequences of microRNA inhibition. Remember that microRNA function may be required only in limited window of time. It can therefore be a useful exercise to play around with the time of transfection and the time of phenotypic observation. Always include a negative control to evaluate the contribution of nonspecific effects of transfection with an oligonucleotide. Use one of our generic control oligos or even better ask us to custom design a mismatch control in which we have changed the position of a few of the nucleotides of your particular inhibitor.
Good knowledge of the pathways and key proteins involved in the biology is key to interpreting the phenotypic consequences of microRNA inhibition. microRNA target prediction tools can generate lists of hundreds of potential targets for most microRNAs. The challenge is to narrow these down to a manageable short list of targets relevant to your biological system. There are numerous bioinformatics tools (2-6) that will help you interpret your microRNA target list by gene ontology and human phenotype ontology analysis and cross checking with biological pathway and protein-protein interaction databases. But the benefit of this analysis relies on the correct choice of gene ontology terms and pathways and subsequent literature searches on the candidate genes. Once you have created your short list you can validate the microRNA candidate targets by verifying that gene expression is de-repressed upon microRNA inhibition. The next question is then whether de-repression of any of these validated targets is associated with the observed phenotype. One way of approaching this problem is to prevent microRNA interaction with a particular mRNA of interest by masking the microRNA target site with an LNA™ antisense oligo instead of inhibiting the microRNA. This is an elegant way of assessing which of the many microRNA targets that are major contributors to the phenotype observed upon microRNA inhibition. Contact us for custom design of target site blockers.

John Farrell can add another job to his resume.
The former Boston Red Sox manager has joined the crew for ESPN's "Baseball Tonight," according to The Boston Globe. His debut will be on Wednesday for a season-preview show.
The Red Sox fired Farrell on Oct. 11, 2017 despite a second-straight A.L. East crown. Alex Cora will begin his first season in Farrell's old role during the 2018 season.
Farrell added the broadcast work after the Cincinnati Reds hired him as a scout and adviser with a focus on pitching. He interviewed this offseason for the Philadelphia Phillies and Washington Nationals managing jobs, but both teams passed on him.

Matters of concern can be defined as complicated, engaging, diverse, fragile, and situated issue for which we care. Researchers can contribute to articulating them. In this paper, we discuss one methodological aspect that influences the articulation of matters of concern by applying a participatory design approach. By referring to workshops organized for studying the introduction of welfare technology for older people, we argue that combining different representational practices both enables and constrains the participants' agency. Enabling and constraining depends on the performativity of the sociomateriality of the practice of method and the analysis of such aspects lead to the articulation of matters of concern.
The question of how to organise for the introduction of a new service involving the interaction of humans and technologies is both crucial and challenging. Convergence between the community of practice using the technology and the design of the technology is crucial for the technology to become meaningful and usable. While processes of convergence are challenging in themselves, they become more complex if several communities of practice are going to use and collaborate around/through the technology. The co-presence of different communities of practice is a common situation when delivering public welfare services. In particular, the development of welfare technology is a context rich in potential frictions, making convergence challenging. By mobilising the concept of transparency, we analyse the process of implementation of remote night monitoring and highlight how transparency is related to different aspects. Such analysis reveals that processes of convergence are related in this context not only to frictions shared with other settings, but also to specific frictions related to matters of concern in welfare services. This leads us to discuss whether digitalised care services can be argued as still having a human side or not.
Although the idea of leadership being a process is clearly stated in leadership definitions, most researchers focus on individuals rather than observing and studying processes. This contradiction has been highlighted by a number of scholars turning to leadership processes and practices, thereby drawing attention to the interactional and social aspects of the phenomenon. Such contributions mostly take process perspectives in which entities still play an important role. In this article, I therefore aim at contributing to leadership studies based on a process ontology by exploring one central aspect of leadership work, the production of direction, processually. I do so by building on geographer Massey's conception of space, thus adding a spatial dimension that enables me to conceptualize direction as the development of an evolving relational configuration. In order to empirically explore such a conceptualization, two constructs are proposed: the construction of positions and the construction of issues. The reading of leadership work thus produced leads me to suggest 'clearing for action' as a means of conveying the spatio-temporal and constructive (reality constructing) character of leadership work.
The purpose of this paper is to theorize how different sociomaterial entanglements affect work practices. Based on a qualitative case study, we compare and contrast three empirical Factory-cases; the Non-digital-and-non-lean factory; the Somewhat-digital-and-lean factory; and the More-thoroughly-digital-factory. When comparing these three cases, we are able to show that the different sociomaterial entanglements enact different spheres of concern. The contribution of the paper lies in its' unveiling of how the spheres of concern differ in terms of temporal orientation and localization, and depending on the entanglement of technologies and production management models.
Dramatic stories of corporate crises appear in newspapers and magazines all over the world; one explanation offered by scholars has been that the affected organization suffered (literally) from narcissism. As responsible, ethical, non-narcissistic behavior is claimed to be crucial for management, the purpose of this article is to advance our knowledge about narcissism in organizations by developing an understanding of which organizational work enacts organizations as successful, admired, and unique. The dominant use of narcissism as a pathological condition limits the possibility to learn about organizing processes since it provides simplistic explanations. By introducing the notion of performative narcissism, we re-focus attention from the pathological condition of organizations to potentially pervasive organizational practices. Thus, we see that narcissistic work is a sociomaterial process not limited to organizational borders, but connecting and enrolling people, artifacts, animals, and places into mutually dependent, shifting, and composite assemblages that emerge through practices reproducing the organization as successful and unique.
Inspired by the practice turn in organization and social theory (Schatzki et al., 2001), there has been increasing recognition of the value of theorizing about and studying leadership from a practice perspective (Denis et al., 2005, 2010; Carroll et al., 2008; Crevani et al., 2010; Raelin, 2011; Endrissat & von Arx, 2013). The resulting notion of "leadership-as-practice" gives rise to high expectations but may also cause misunderstandings among leadership scholars and practitioners alike. To recognize its potential we believe it is important to bring to the fore some of its underlying assumptions and outline its similarities and differences to other relatively close concepts. Hence, this chapter provides an introduction to the leadership-as-practice perspective by means of two central comparisons. First, we probe into leadership studies and consider the similarities and differences of a leadership-as-practice perspective with related leadership approaches such as the leadership style approach (and the subsequent situational leadership and contingency models) and the relational leadership approach. We highlight the consequences of doing research from each one of these three perspectives, mainly with respect to the underlying understanding of reality (ontology) and, consequently, the "unit of analysis" (i.e. what is studied and focused on to produce knowledge about leadership). We include examples of typical research questions and exemplary studies in each of the three domains to support our reasoning. Of course, the comparison cannot be completed by considering just two other approaches. However, the two seem most relevant because they share several similarities with the leadership-as-practice approach that need closer examination to define the specific contribution of leadership-as-practice. The style (and the situational/contingency) approach is widely known, entitative in character, but with a similar focus on leadership actions to the practice approach. By making the differences between the two approaches explicit, we hope to inspire the broad range of scholars familiar with the style approach to consider the practice perspective as a potential alternative that allows them to enrich understanding of the accomplishments of leadership. The relational approach, on the other hand, is the closest to the practice approach, and this is sometimes even used synonymously. However, differences exist and we believe that it is important to make them explicit to better understand the critical contribution of leadership-as-practice.
In the second comparison we look outside leadership studies and focus instead on the "as-practice" approach, outlining the similarities and differences between leadership-as-practice and other practice approaches in organization studies, namely strategy-as-practice and coordination-as-practice. As we will show, although the underlying assumptions are the same, they differ with respect to the social accomplishment on which they focus, that is the consequences of organizing processes that they try to explain and understand. Because of space restrictions, we had to limit our comparison to those organizational phenomena that we consider most relevant for defining leadership-as-practice. Both coordination and strategy work share similarities with leadership that sometimes make it difficult to distinguish among them. We hope that the focus on 'social accomplishment' will help the reader to better understand what the unique contribution of each of these organizational constructs is.
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to explore the concept of leadership culture and analyse how leadership cultures are produced in higher education reforms, in a hybridised discursive context of traditional academic values and emerging managerialism and leaderism.
Design/methodology/approach: Building on a perspective on leadership as a cultural phenomenon emerging in processes in which societal, sectorial and professional discursive resources are invoked, this study adds to earlier studies on how notions of leadership are involved in the transformation of higher education organisations. To this end, the method combines a traditional qualitative study of change initiatives over a long period of time with participative observation. Focusing on two vignettes, the analysis centres on how several discursive resources are drawn upon in daily interaction.
Findings: The emergence of hybrid leadership cultures in which several discursive resources are drawn upon in daily interaction is illustrated. This paper emphasises how hybrid cultures develop through confirmation, re-formulation and rejection of discursive influences.
Research limitations/implications: An extended empirical material would enable further understanding of what cultural constructions of leadership that become confirmed, re-formulated or rejected. International comparisons would also enrich the analysis.
Practical implications: This paper may influence leadership, leadership development and change initiatives in higher education organization.
Social implications: Higher education organizations are crucial for societal development and this paper contributes to better understanding how they are changing.
Originality/value: The perspective proposed builds on recent developments in leadership studies and expands the means for focusing on social processes rather than individuals.

What does a virus have to do with marketing? Viral marketing describes any strategy that encourages individuals to pass on a marketing message to others, creating the potential for exponential growth in the message's exposure and influence. Like viruses, such strategies take advantage of rapid multiplication to explode the message to thousands, to millions.
You are also free to choose a fund that is based on any index that you want. For example, there are index funds set up for just about every market sector there is — energy, precious metals, banking, emerging markets — you name it. All you have to do is decide that you want to participate, then contribute money and sit back and relax. Your stock portfolio will then be on automatic pilot.

Within six months of selling, however, I had reinvested the proceeds from the home sale and brought total passive income for 2018 back up to an estimated $203,724. I'm not sure I would have sold the house without a clear plan for reinvesting the proceeds, since I'm bullish on the SF housing market long term. However, because I did have a plan, and the challenges of raising a newborn and dealing with rowdy tenants left me feeling a bit stretched, I decided to simplify and sell.
Wow! What an awesome list! My favorite is the stock photography because I love photography. I have had some success there, particularly with one photo I make some decent income from. I think the key with stock photography is finding a shot that is high demand. Then, find a new unique way to frame that shot. This is the reason my St. Louis Arch photo is a top 10 on both ShutterStock and iStockPhoto. Thanks for the awesome ideas above!

Late-program course work asks students to engage in hands-on classes that apply what they have learned from the books and case studies they have read. This often takes the form of business simulations that task students with creating their own marketing plans, developing their own teams, and conducting their own market research. This is the last and most valuable test in a marketing education. Students who can succeed at this stage are ready to pursue a position in the fast-paced world of modern marketing.
The CD is one of the most effective ways to create passive wealth over time and has been used by investors for generations. Ask your grandparents; it is highly likely they own CDs (TDs) with their local bank or Credit Union. This is done by creating CD ladders to maximize effectiveness. Most Bank and Credit Union CDs have zero fees attached unless you cash out before maturity.
Do you have any items you don't use all the time that others would like to borrow? Useful items like a truck, trailer, trampoline, kayak, or even your own yard could earn you passive income as rental items. This also includes renting out spare rooms in your house with the help of websites like Airbnb. Hop on your favorite social media site, upload pictures of your items, set a price, and tell the world they're ready for rent.
The ultimate goal of marketers interested in creating successful viral marketing programs is to create viral messages that appeal to individuals with high social networking potential (SNP) and that have a high probability of being presented and spread by these individuals and their competitors in their communications with others in a short period of time.[9]
