FAIRFAX, Va. (CBS.MW) - Shares of WebMethods rose 9 percent Thursday after the provider of business-to-business integration software said it entered an alliance with Oracle to speed the deployment of global business and supplier exchanges.
Shares of the Fairfax, Va.- based company added 13 1/4 to 159 1/4, while shares of software giant, Oracle gained 2 3/8, or 3 percent, to close at 82 3/8.
Under the terms of the alliance, WebMethods (WEBM) will become a "preferred solution provider" and integrate buyers and suppliers to trading networks and exchanges built on Oracle's (ORCL) exchange platform.
The companies will provide a secure and reliable Internet-based delivery of XML messages through their integration of the Oracle Exchange platform with the WebMethods product. See press release.
Exchanges powered by Oracle will use the integrated message center to combine buyers and suppliers, while WebMethods B2B will route the business documents through the Oracle exchanges.
"By using WebMethods B2B, our Oracle-powered exchange participants will be able to seamlessly integrate to their back-end systems and realize the full e-business benefits of our exchange," commented Ron Wohl, executive vice president of Oracle Applications.
Great Plains tanks on Y2K problems
Great Plains Software closed at new 52-week low Thursday after warning about weak fourth-quarter results.
Great Plains (GPSI) shares fell 18 /4, or 46.4 percent, to close at a new 52-week low of 21 5/8.
The Fargo, N.D., e-business software firm said late Wednesday that fourth quarter revenue will fall between $58 million and $60 million, still representing a 45 percent to50 percent increase from the same period a year earlier.
The company cited a continuing post-Y2K sales slowdown for the shortfall.
The lower revenue will result in fourth-quarter operating earnings of between 5 cents and 10 cents a share, below First Call's average earnings estimate of 32 cents a share.
Software indexes close mixed following Microsoft ruling
Shares of software companies closed mixed Thursday, a day after a federal judge ordered Microsoft split its business in two in response to its antitrust violations.
The CBOE Software Index ($CWX) closed down 1.9 percent to 1,280.95, with losses led by Citrix Systems shares (CTXS), which fell 8 1/8, or 13.6 percent, to 51 9/16.
The Goldman Sachs Software Index ended at 470.43, up 0.1 percent. Shares of Excite At Home (ATHM), which added 1 7/8, or 9.3 percent, to 22 1/16, led the index higher.
Shares of Microsoft (MSFT) and VA Linux (LNUX) fell more than 2 percent Thursday. The companies closed at 68 13/16 and 36 47/67, respectively.

ERGONOMICS. Improve your ergonomic intelligence by avoiding these issues: Awkward postures Repetitive tasks Forceful exertions Lifting heavy objects
- Zoe Brooks

1 ERGONOMICS The goal of ergonomics is to reduce your exposure to work hazards. A hazard is defined as a physical factor within your work environment that can harm your body. Ergonomic hazards include working in awkward or uncomfortable postures and using excessive force or high repetition to complete a task. Ergonomics focuses on changing the work environment, modifying a task by using ergonomically friendly equipment or using different work procedures to improve efficiency and to reduce the risk of discomfort or injury. Improve your ergonomic intelligence by avoiding these issues: Awkward postures Repetitive tasks Forceful exertions Lifting heavy objects Awkward Postures and Repetitive Tasks An awkward posture or position occurs when a joint is held in a non-neutral position at the extreme ends of its range of motion. A joint becomes weaker as it is moved away from its mid-point. Awkward postures place the muscles out of balance, make tasks more physically demanding, and add stress to the body. The chance of injury increases when a joint is not in the neutral position and repetition is added to the equation. The hand in the middle is in the neutral position. It is like holding a can of soda. The left and right hands are non-neutral and can lead to stress injuries over time. Working with hands above the head or with the elbows above the shoulders for prolonged periods without frequent breaks increase injury risks.
2 Working with the neck bent more than 45 without support or frequent posture changes for prolonged periods increase injury risks. Squatting or kneeling to work repetitively or for prolonged periods increase injury risks Forceful Exertions Force is defined as exerting effort to accomplish something. Shop, custodial, and landscape work involves various types of force, including high hand forces, contact pressure, and high force associated with lifting and carrying tasks. It is vital that you are able to identify and protect yourself against these hazards to avoid injury. Grabbing and pinching objects repeatedly can lead to injury
3 Using your hands or other body parts as a hammer to strike objects into place will cause injury. Labor intensive tasks also open the door for ergonomic injury. Common OPF tasks that cause Ergonomic injuries: Mopping, sweeping, dusting, cleaning, scrubbing, vacuuming Use of power equipment and tools (line trimmers, mowers, drills) Keyboarding Use of hand tools (saws, screw drivers, pruners, pliers) Above head work (dusting, wiring, installations) Lifting and carrying Shoveling debris Injury Prevention: Select tools with smooth, non-slippery, padded handles. Avoid tools with finger grooves, hard plastic handles, sharp edges, small or large diameter handles. Avoid gripping or pinching with your wrist in awkward positions. Take frequent breaks to stretch and rest hands. Remember to observe neutral positions. Alternate activities frequently throughout the day. Rotate heavy and/or repetitive tasks with lighter, less repetitive tasks. Use two hands to lift rather than one, even with light objects and tasks. Slide or push and pull objects instead of lifting. Avoid jerky movements when lifting objects. Use power devices when available. Keep reaching to a minimum. Position objects close to the body within easy reach. Use a step stool or ladder when necessary to reach above shoulder level, or to lift objects overhead Avoid using body part as impact devices
4 Use vises, clamps, or jigs to stabilize objects to avoid prolonged forceful gripping with the hand Use Protective Equipment when possible (anti-vibration gloves, anti-fatigue mats) Work Station Setup To understand the best way to set up a computer workstation, it is helpful to understand the concept of neutral body positioning. This is a comfortable working posture in which your joints are naturally aligned. Working with the body in a neutral position reduces stress and strain on the muscles, tendons, and skeletal system and reduces your risk of developing a musculoskeletal disorder (MSD). The following are important considerations when attempting to maintain neutral body postures while working at the computer workstation: Hands, wrists, and forearms are straight, in-line and roughly parallel to the floor. Head is level or bent slightly forward, forward facing, and balanced. Generally it is in-line with the torso (keep ears, shoulders and hips in line with each other). Shoulders are relaxed and upper arms hang normally at the side of the body. Elbows stay in close to the body and are bent between 90 and 120 degrees. Feet are fully supported by the floor or a footrest may be used if the desk height is not adjustable. Back is fully supported with appropriate lumbar support when sitting vertical or leaning back slightly. Thighs and hips are supported by a well-padded seat and generally parallel to the floor. Knees are about the same height as the hips with the feet slightly forward. Regardless of how good your working posture is, working in the same posture or sitting still for prolonged periods is not healthy. You should change your working position frequently throughout the day in the following ways: Make small adjustments to your chair or backrest. Stretch your fingers, hands, arms, and torso. Stand up and walk around for a few minutes periodically.
5 Take care of your Back Many lifting injuries can be prevented by reducing the weight and number of lifts as much as possible, and by learning how to use appropriate lifting techniques when it is necessary to lift and carry objects. Using proper lifting techniques can save you a great deal of pain and misery when you must lift or move objects by hand. Use forklifts, hoists, carts, dollies, and other types of lifting equipment when you have to lift or move heavy or bulky objects. 1. When a large or heavy load must be moved to another location, the route over which the object will be moved will be inspected first to make sure that there are no obstructions or spills that could cause slipping or tripping injures. If the path is not clear, a different route will be taken. 2. The object to be moved will be inspected to determine how it should be grasped or if there are any sharp edges, slivers, or other things that could cause injury. If it is wet or greasy, it should be wiped dry so it will not slip. If the object is too heavy or bulky to be handled by one person, help will be sought. 3. When lifting, use the following techniques: Spread feet comfortably apart; one alongside, and one behind the object. Keep the back straight, nearly vertical if possible. Keep elbows and arms in and hold the object close to your body. Grasp the object securely. Tuck your chin in. Keep body weight directly over feet. Lift smoothly by straightening your legs. Reverse the procedures when lowering an object. When changing direction while carrying an object, never twist. Turn the entire body, including the feet. 4. Seek assistance when necessary. Use mechanical lifting devices such as handcarts, dollies, forklifts, etc. as necessary. 5. When carrying loads with other workers, always give adequate warning of any action on your part, such as dropping your end of the load. Keep in step, this makes the load easier to handle.

Camden Crawl - Who did you see? highlights/disappointments
I couldn't go in the end but my friends said that the ones they enjoyed were Fanfarlo, Noah & the whale, Wild Beasts, Slow Club, Bobby Cook, Wombats and SixNationState.
Disappoints - Ispo Facto, make Model and Tellison.
How about for you?
future of the left
on both days were brilliant.
everyone else i saw (elle sappelle. this city. lets wrestle. dioyy. los camp. florence & the machine).) was good apart from some awful band called The Dirty Feel or Wheel or something similar.
didn't get to see that many bands but i still had an amazing weekend.
'Twas much fun
I rated - Does it offend you (tiny bar - big sound), Bookhouse Brothers, Robyn & Ladyhawke
I slated - Team Waterpolo - god awful lyrics!
Another band with a Twin Peaks reference. They'd better be good.
and i thought the stuff in the daytime was poorly advertised.
i know that's the point of 'crawl' but i really couldn't be bothered to go past purple turtle or barfly at the other end too.
had quite a productive friday
ended up seeing (across the whole weekend) team waterpolo, gus cox, rosie oddie, hadouken, pull tiger tail, ipso facto, youthmovies, metronomy, sham 69, we are the physics, lowline, duels, effi briest, lykke li and cage the elephant.
thought ipso facto, youth movies, WATP and duels were great.
"sham 69" and lowline absolutely dreadful.
Despite the twats on Saturday
Ida Maria @ Koko Friday
Lykke Li @ Black Cap Friday
Fanfarlo @ Bullet Saturday (despite endless technical issues)
Slow Club @ Oh Bar Saturday
As the whole weekend wasn't about what I wanted to see so I caught Royworld, The Rushes and Fox Cubs as well and none of the were awful.
Lowline were though and S.C.U.M. were unintentional hilarious.
and Johnny Foreigner
forgot about that at the incredible bendy floor/ceiling in The Enterprise on Saturday.
How Los Campensinos! fit on that stage I don't know.
saturday only
highlights: noah & the whale / fanfarlo
disappointment: cage the elephant
also saw duels who were great, bookhouse boys and los campensinos! who were alright
Future of the left
were awesome, so we were we are the physics, metronomy and youth movies.

Best bits
Death Cigarettes, Esser, Backhouse Boys, Metronomy @ Black Cap, Lykke Li/Robyn
Low points: Kid Harpoon, Make Model, Sam fucking Sparro.
All good for me
Camped out at the purple turtle on friday were I was stood up by Cutting Pink with knives, enjoyed Post War Years, was charmed by Lets Wrestle and loved Crystal Castles. Then went over to Koko as i'd lost my line up and 5 people convinced me the Maccabees were playing. Imagine my horror when after an hours wait Robyn turns up....
highlight for me...
..was easily future of the left on saturday.
saw tronic youth (sp?), youthmovies, rolo tomassi and future of the left friday.
then los camp, lovvers, future of the left and metronomy sat.
metronomy was far too busy and had a fair few idiots in there which was disappointing.
HIGHLIGHTS: Metronomy, Los Campesinos & Johnny Foreigner
LOWLIGHTS: Too many tw*ts in pork pie hats
...Highlights Fri..
Vinny Vinny@Monarch
William@Dublin Castle
Wild Beasts@Bullet
Chapman Family@Tommy Flynns
Los Campesinos@ Koko
Acoustic Ladyland@Tup
Cheeky Cheeky & The Nosebleeds @Oh Bar
Lowlight -
Ok show, shame about the songs.
Few highlights and lowlights
+ Amazing lineup
- Too many schedule clashes
+Relaxing with a cold beer watching music
- The cartel of over £3.50 PINTS going on at EVERY PUB
+ Seeing all these diverse people walking around in various ensembles
- Realising it merges all into one and everyone is attempting to have the "be in a band alt look"
+ ^that being amusing
+ Lykke Li's awesome peformance
+ The sheer electricity in the room for Cage the Elephant
Also awesome performances from: The Dirty Feel, Fanfarlo, Bombay Bicycle Club, Pull Tiger Tail
Dissapointed with Ida Maria, KOKO was too big for her i guess and Effi Briest i guess is a grower but liked the alternation between the instruments - great hairy armpits too ;)
I hope
I am not a " corn-fed NME bitch" sir.
Best bits were Slow Club, Bombay BC, Metronomy and a super duper DJ set by Goldierocks.
I also liked Kid Harpoon despite the comment above.

Contracting out web design is a large expense for owners of new businesses. You can save money by building your own website. Do not take shortcuts though. Apply what you learn from the following paragraphs to make professional web pages.
If you're designing a website, you need to look at your website in multiple browsers. You have to make sure that you're seeing your site through the eyes of all customers. Do research on the various browsers in use, and design your website accordingly. Send your website to a bunch of friends to see if they have trouble.
Display a tagline in a prominent area on your page. Using a tagline simply means that you will need to come up with a quick statement that lets visitors know what your site is all about. This will give the visitor a quick first impression of what you're about.
Put a tagline on your site. The tagline is some statement or motto that indicates the nature of your business. Using a tagline that's clear can really help because if someone goes to your site, it takes about eight seconds to get their attention so they'll be interested in your page.
Offer to store personal information for returning users. For instance, if someone filled in their name and address when creating an account, pre-populate this information when the customer fills out an order form. With this "sticky" information, you create a simpler, easier experience for your users, which will prompt them to stay on-site longer.
Watch your color scheme on your site. You need to ensure that the text on your site is easily readable against your chosen background. It is generally agreed upon that dark text on a light background is the easiest to read. If you aren't sure if your color scheme works well, show it off to a friend for some feedback.
With a newsletter, you'll get repeat users. If you have your clients subscribe to updates, they will have a reason to come back again and again. Stick the sign-up form in a spot that's out of the way, such as in a sidebar, and keep good records of those who sign up. You can avoid some reputation-damaging trouble by making sure that your newsletter only goes out to visitors who have explicitly requested it.
Don't overload a website with more graphics and photos than necessary. Graphics are indeed important to make your website look well-designed and professional, but if you use too many, it just looks cluttered. Your graphics should not only be decorative; they must also be true improvements. Having the right amount of graphics that don't clutter the design can improve the site's usability, too.
Your front page should be simple. People shopping around will immediately decide whether they will use your site or not, simply by how your front page looks. Don't add unnecessary distractions that hide the essence of what you offer to your customer.
Don't use frames. Although users like pages that include frames, the information inside does not show up in search engines. You will lose viewers if they can't find your site because a search engine fails to find what they searched for on your page. This will lead to a reduction in visitors.
Avoid the use of pop-up advertising. Few things are worse than being overloaded with pop-ups. Many people will close a site immediately if it uses pop-ups, even if it's a site run by a well-known brand or company. Just avoid these irritating ads, so your users will be happy. If your web host forces you to have pop-up ads, try to find another web host.
A good bit of experience is needed to evolve from building basic websites to more sophisticated website design. There will be many mistakes along the way. However, if you apply the knowledge you learned here, you should soon be able to have the ability to create an appealing website.
Free design software is a valuable tool for quickly setting up a website. Do not listen to people who tell you that you can't design and operate a website without relying on pricey software packages; you can find a free alternative for virtually every task. You just need to do a little Internet searching in order to find some free tools that will work best for you.

One of the greatest benefits of a destination having hundreds, if not thousands of years of history built up is the opportunity to present them to the world. When it comes to meetings and events, Latin America has so many unique opportunities for venues that I really could not list them all here. Whether it's on top of a fort in Cartagena, a seaside amphitheater hosting the largest music festival in the world in Chile, or having the backdrop of the ruins of ancient civilizations, there is no doubt that the opportunity to provide a memorable experience is available no matter where you go.
At the end of the day, meetings and events are about the attendee experience, and providing a unique venue has an impact that can take any program from good to great.

The morning on the tracks was very slow although a couple of Common Yellowthroats were willing to put in an appearance.
On the 6th, we headed over to Mom's as I had a Docs appointment. I met up with Angela G in Kentville and we did a tour around Miners Marsh. My first sighting was this little Green Frog.

In honor of the Kentucky Derby we learned about the state of Kentucky this week. All our sensory boxes were related to details about the state! The fine motor group made some fun art projects and it was derby day in the language group. We sure learned a lot about our 15th state!
We also want to brag a bit this week, we were selected as "one of 20 blogs to grow your OT practice" by the people at otpotential.com—–SWEET!
Since the derby inspired our theme this week we HAD to have a box dedicated to it.
The champion horse is usually draped with a wreath of roses, hence the term and so we put rose petals as the base of our box. Then we put a variety of horses including ones that were big, little, soft, hard—–lots of things to compare and contrast here!
Recognize similarities and differences in size of objects is a math access point that can be addressed in this activity.
This box of "bluegrass" was such fun to explore! We included Lincoln Logs (the president was born in Kentucky) and cars (a leading industry in the state).
There were also symbols of the state such as fresh water "pearls" and a cardinal. The very first cheeseburger was served in Louisville so we put a little play food one in our box!
The science access point recognize a model of a real object is addressed here.
A voice output device with the happy birthday song (2 Louisville sisters wrote it) had our students dancing!
The Kentucky Derby is also home to the worlds biggest fireworks show—-ours was a little smaller but our students sure had fun with our little light up toy (found at Target).
Use senses to recognize objects is a science access point.
This box was filled with GOLD just like Fort Knox! It may not have real but our students thought it was a lot of fun—-really, who wouldn't love diving into a box full of gold beads 🙂
Track objects in motion is a science access point.
The University of Kentucky basketball team is the winningest NCAA team ever—–how cool is that! The team colors are blue and white just like our rice. Four blue K's could be found in the rice and a picture of a basketball player could be found under the rice.
Recognize objects that are identical is a science access point.
Coal is the state mineral and coal mining continues to be an important industry in the state of Kentucky. In this box 2 different size spoons were included for scooping fun in our black bean coal.
The math access point associate quantities with language, such as many, a lot, or a little can be addressed here.
If you have a MAMMOUTH umbrella you can make a Mammoth Cave! We made our cave by taping garbage bags around the edge of the umbrella. Animal coloring pictures were taped inside and some toy bats hung down. Our students had a blast using a flashlight to search for animals in the cave habitat.
Match common living things with their habitats is a science access point.
The happy birthday song was the inspiration for our scents this week. We figured birthday songs and birthday cake go together and since Philosophy makes a cake scented bath gel—-PERFECT!
There was a big scoop and a little melon baller for fun water play. The melon baller had a little hole at the bottom of the bowl—–so much fun to use that to use that to fill the scoop!
Recognize different containers that hold liquids and track objects in motion are science access points.
Continuing a birthday party theme, we asked our students to choose between 2 different soda scented lip balms—-applied to WRISTS NOT LIPS of course!
Their choices were Sprite and Fanta, both very yummy scents, however Sprite turned out to be the overwhelming favorite!
The language access point effectively communicate wants and needs using gestures/signs, pictures, symbols, or words.
On Tuesday we made some Derby Day decorations!
We started by asking the students to show us the color red using communication symbols. Then we gave them a piece of red tissue paper and asked them to tear and crumple it up—-to make red roses! A great activity for bilateral coordination.
Recognize a change in an object is a science access point.
After they finished making their roses they dipped them in glue and attached them to a horseshoe, using this template: horseshoe.
This activity addresses eye hand coordination and pincer grasp skills.
The horseshoe was then glued onto a rectangular piece of paper AFTER we discussed the SHAPE of the paper!
Recognize an object with a 2 dimensional shape is a math access point.
The red cardinal is the state bird of Kentucky. Since they also live in our state, we decided our Thursday art project would be to make bird feeders for the cardinals around our school! Recognize that animals need food is a science access point addressed with this activity.
Our students did a really great job spreading peanut butter on a pine cone—-although it was a little hard to resist the temptation to sneak a taste for themselves 🙂
Recognize a change in an object is a science access point.
Then they put their pinecones in a tray, practicing pincer grasp skills as they picked up and sprinkled birdseed on top of the peanut butter. This activity was pretty messy but the students had a BLAST!!!!
The science access point recognize a change in an object is again addressed.
After everyone had finished their bird feeders we brought them outside and hung them up—–there are going to be some pretty happy cardinals around here soon 🙂
It was a race for the roses in the language group! The focus for group was to follow the directions. In addition to verbal prompts we used picture symbols to help our students follow the directions. The students raced 2 at a time holding a hobby horse (some of them needing a little help, of course).
The racers had to make sure to watch and listen for the directions to "GO" and "STOP". Everyone got a turn to race and it was all very exciting 🙂
For our student "spectators", we provided some fun hats to wear—–everyone knows that when you're at the Kentucky Derby, anything goes!
Once a jockey won, their horse received a floral wreath, just like the ones received by the real winners of the race.
This was such a fun activity, filled with so much fun and laughter——because that is just how we roll Group by Group 🙂

Excerpt #2 – If Your Head Keeps Hitting the Same Wall Over and Over, You Might Want to Have a Discussion with Your Head, Not the Wall
"I know there are lots of you who see some aspects of your life that you'd like to change or make even more phenomenal. Those of you with lives that are "fine" (which, by the way, is perfectly legitimate), ask yourselves, "Where would it be great to have it even better?" The difficulty comes when we try and make the leap to "better" and we are yanked back to where we are, and then we sit there frustrated, like a dog that can't get at its toy under the radiator, but doesn't quite know what to do about it.
Without knowing some of the underlying patterns to the things you do and the values that you hold right now, you can't move forward. It's like trying to start a business but refusing to check and see how much money you've got in the bank. That is why some of you have been trying to "change" yourselves for years without results. And why some of you have been banging into the same walls over and over. Ever notice how the same jerk shows up in your office over and over? How you attract the same type of boyfriend or girlfriend over and over? How people always seem to screw you in the same way? Or that people consistently betray you or want too much from you or don't understand you or go psychotic on you or treat you badly?
Or, more positively, have you noticed that you always get along well with one gender? Do you have good luck with money? Does the boss always end up liking you? Do you seem to be able to meet people who help you out with your career?
You each have patterns that show up again and again. And as you stand there thanking the stars or screaming at the moon for the things that happen in your life, ask yourself the question: What is the one constant in all the things you've been through in life?
You were there.
There are no accidents. Those negative or irritating things in your life – the place you are not satisfied – are not there as some random comic jest. They are you inner Self's way of trying to make a point. It's just You trying to get your attention. This is not a bad thing. Once you've tired of dating the same jerk over and over, you'll eventually get to a point where you're ready to say, "OK, what's up with that?" It may take two months, it may take twenty-five years. But given your natural intelligence, eventually it'll kick in and you'll be ready to do something about it.
You will know that you are getting closer to your Self when new things start to happen. New people show up. New words are being spoken to you. Lots of different things happen at once that seem related. There is a synchronicity to events. More happens to you in less time. You'll start to handle situations and people differently. Oh, and the added bonus to getting related to yourself is that it becomes much easier to get yourself a job that you love".

Department of Mechanical Engineering, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hunghom, Kowloon, Hong email@example.com
The impedance of a passive noise control device is strictly positive real, if the device is installed in noise fields with weak mean flows. Passive noise control devices are, therefore, more reliable than active ones. Active control may be applied to a Helmholtz resonator to introduce electronic resonance. It will affect the impedance Zact of the resonator. A controller may be designed such that (a) Zact is small and resistive at some tunable frequencies; and (b) Re{Zact}⩾0 in the entire frequency range of interest. If criterion (a) is satisfied, the active resonator can suppress duct noise at tunable frequencies. It is difficult to design a controller to satisfy criterion (b) because parameters of the controller depend on acoustic parameters of the noise field. A new method is proposed here to design an active controller to meet both criteria simultaneously. The satisfaction of criterion (b) implies a positive real Zact and a robust active resonator with respect to parameter variation in the noise field. Experimental results are presented to verify the performance of the active resonator.
Experiment results in a duct with open outlet: (i) without control (gray), (ii) with a passive resonator (dotted), and (iii) with an active resonator (solid)
Experiment results in a duct with closed outlet: (i) without control (gray), (ii) with a passive resonator (dotted), and (iii) with an active resonator (solid)
(a) Acoustic two-port circuit of a secondary path in a duct and (b) equivalent circuit of (a)
(a) Helmholtz resonator and an analogous spring-mass-damper system and (b) acoustic circuit of the resonator
(a) Active Helmholtz resonator and (b) acoustic circuit of the active resonator
(a) Schematic diagram of the experimental duct and the active resonator, (b) acoustic two-port circuit of a duct with an active Helmholtz resonator and (c) and (d) two equivalent acoustic circuits of (b)

Lebanese Legislative Elections Delayed by One Week
Legislative elections that had been scheduled to take place in three phases from August 20th have been put back by a week and cut to two phases, Interior Minister, Michel Murr, said.
The change in timing was made so as not to conflict with the summer holidays and with the 12th Asian football cup that Lebanon is hosting this year, Murr said at a press conference.
The first phase will take place on August 27 in northern Lebanon and in Mount Lebanon around Beirut, the minister said.
On September 3rd, voters will go to the polls in the remaining three parts of the country -- Beirut itself, the Bekaa Valley and southern Lebanon.
For the first time, the country's 2.74 million voters will be required to have a voting registration card, Murr said, adding that nearly half of voters have already obtained their cards.
The single chamber parliament consists of 128 seats, equally divided between Lebanon's Christian and Muslim population. Deputies, representing specific constituencies, are elected for four-year terms. The minimum voting age is 21 - BEIRUT (AFP)

With Feb. 2 just around the corner, this important question will fill your minds: Will there be six more weeks of winter? Like many who are hopeful, we are crossing our fingers that the famous groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil, does not see his shadow, which will indicate the early arrival of spring.
But to those from the small town of Woodstock, Ill., Groundhog Day means much more than a rodent seeing his shadow. It celebrates a time when the small charming town became Punxsutawney, Pa. in the filming of the movie "Groundhog Day" starring Bill Murray and Andie McDowell. From Feb. 1-4, you're invited to come celebrate Woodstock's Groundhog Days. Here are some family-friendly events you won't want to miss:
Storytime at Stage Left Café
Feb. 1 at 5 p.m.
Warm up to these festivities with some fun groundhog stories.
Awakening of the Groundhog
Feb. 1 at 6 p.m.
At the Woodstock Opera House on the Square, meet Woodstock Willie, the official Groundhog Days mascot and take a few photos with him. Then warm up with hot chocolate.
Groundhog prognostication
Feb. 2 at 7:07 a.m.
Will the groundhog see his shadow or not? Relive the ceremony complete with polka music in the background.
Groundhog Tales
Feb. 3 at 10 a.m.
Enjoy storytelling with Jim May, an award-winning storyteller and writer.
Breakfast with Woodstock Willie
Feb. 4 at 8 a.m.
Smell that? It's the smell of pancakes in the air. Munch on a few at Woodstock Moose Lodge.
Willie's Family Fun Day
Feb. 4 at 10 a.m.
In addition to meeting Woodstock Willie, kids can play games, color, get crafty, take photos and more.
"Groundhog Day" movie showings
Various times
Can't get enough of watching the film that made Woodstock famous? Watch it again … and again … and again.
Guided walking tours of film sites
Various times
Sure, the website has a walking tour you can download, but how much more fun is a guided tour. I've heard that most of the sites are indicated with a plaque.

The LTC Wants To Hear From You!
About the Oceanwood Proposal: Depending on demand, the owners plan to build (in stages) up to 37 handicapped accessible, one bedroom and one bedroom den residences - all with ocean views, a full bathroom and kitchenette. It is proposed that an all-inclusive monthly rental fee will include services typically offered in supportive living housing. Details of the proposed facility can be seen at: www.oceanwoodinn.com
Following a public presentation of the Oceanwood application, the LTC decided to gauge the level of demand for such a facility. A survey, conducted by an independent consulting firm (Munro & Associates) is intended to do that. At this point, surveys have been mailed to every Mayne Island homeowner.
The survey can also be completed by any Mayne Island homeowner or renter online at www.surveymonkey.com/s/seniorliv
Please take a few minutes to complete a survey for your household before October 31st - and help the LTC to make a well-informed decision on behalf of all Mayne Islanders!
For further information please contact Carol Munro email@example.com

Happy 2017!!!!!
I am so very excited to be in the New Year. I can guarantee you that by the end of this year there will be so many amazing additions and changes to Stephanie Synclair Lifestyle Media Inc. and I wanted to go over a few with you.
- As you may know, Stephanie Synclair Lifestyle Media Inc is our umbrella for several amazing companies. Some I am the face of, others I am not. But this year, that umbrella company is changing (actually, the paperwork is in and its in the process) and we will be Love Manifested Inc. Now, why Love Manifested? Because everything we do, every project, every program, blog, video, business etc is our love, manifested. So that is the biggest change though it is one that you will likely not even notice.
- More heart centered projects. I love love business. But as you know I am also a lover of mindset work, spirituality and lifestyle. So, one of those projects you will see from us will be a lifestyle brand. I'm not divulging the name yet, because that will give away another secret that I'm not quite ready to share but just know… all that cooking you see me do on Snapchat… you'll see a lot more of that, along with crafts, dining, tablescapes, travel and so much more. This is something I am so excited about, I'm not looking to make money from but something that will be full of love…hence, Love Manifested Inc
- More 6 and 8 week telecourses. This is super important to me for a few reasons. First, up until this point, I've only worked with a few high level entrepreneurs but this year, I'd love to make space for more amazing peeps, like you, to work with me. These 7 and 8 week group telecourses will be absolutely life changing AND so much more reachable. Definitely be on the lookout for that.
- Many many more live streams and videos from me this year. The lifestyle blog is going to make this EVEN MORE possible with behind the scenes videos, audios, pictures, etc And this means that not only will I be coming LIVE on social media for business but LIVE from vacations and in the kitchen making my family amazing meals!!!! Are you excited yet???
These are just a few of the things that you can expect this year. But sooo much more is planned. I hope you're as excited as we are.
Here's to a year full of miracles for you and your family
Stephanie Synclair
Love Manifested Inc.

It's not the same without you
Join the community to find out what other Atlassian users are discussing, debating and creating.
Is it possible to skip JIRA status on a specified conditions?
e.g. if "Resolved" is clicked in case "Componets" filed is "A Team", skip to move to status "Resolved" and change status "Closed" directly. if it is possible, please let me know how to do in details.
Is the component field filled in the transition view or stored in the issue prior to clicking Resolved?
Case A: component is set before clicking Resolved:
Add an additional transition to the workflow, also called Resolved. This will move the issue to Closed.
Add a Condition to the transition that checks if Component is set to "A Team".
Add a Condition to the original Resolved transition as well if Component is not "A team".
This way the two Resolved transitions will be exclusive and only one will be shown.
Case B: component is set in the transition view
I recommend you use an addon for that.
MISC Workflow Extensions has a postfunction: Transition Issue that can be used to skip to another status conditionally if the component criteria is met.
ScriptRunner for JIRA is also a powerful add-on that has a Scripted Postfunction that can be configured with FastTrack Transition Issue built-in script. It will move the issue to another status conditionally.
MISC or ScriptRunner can be used to implement a solution for Case B but it will be a solution as well for Case A.

Hi Tibor,
Thank you for your prompt anwer. Appreciate too much.
Case A, first of all, two same transition names can be existed? I have tried to add an additional same transition, but it can't be accepted since it is already present.
Used ScriptRunner and my request can be performed by FastTrack Transition Issue built-in script.
You must be a registered user to add a comment. If you've already registered, sign in. Otherwise, register and sign in.
You can't have two transitions with the same name, but you can use workflow properties to make it so they both appear with the same name. The properties are "jira.i18n.submit" and "jira.i18n.title", and you give them values that map to keys that represent the translated values. The default workflow's transition for "Resolve Issue" has those properties, I believe they are set to "resolveissue.submit" and "resolveissue.title".
However, for this case, it seems like there is no reason to name the transition "Resolve", when it's going to perform a "Close", you could just name it "Close".
I think the split conditional transition is a slightly cleaner approach, as it doesn't add the resolution transition to the issue's history.

Plays the title character Roland. A first year, introverted, art student, who got his job at Crafty's Art and Supply because it let him be somewhat "art community" orientated and it gave him a twenty percent discount on most art supplies in the store. He standardly dresses in all black with the odd shade of dark-grey for colour. He's sheepish and unsure of himself with a leaning towards youth born angst and self-loathing. The bands he listens to are always obscure and heard of by only him and ten other people, a fact in which he's quietly proud of. He's an overall nice guy, which some people tend to take advantage of, especially his fellow employee's.
CASTING NOTE: Being the title character, this film lived or died on nailing this role. Daniel had come in for a casting I did on a commercial project about eight months before we cast this. As soon as he read for the commercial I turned to my producer and said, "I think that could be Roland." Eight months later I asked if he'd be willing to come in and read for the part. Although we'd had a lot of talented actors come in for the role, none of them where really right for the part. So when Daniel finally came in I had a lot riding on him. He thankfully nailed it and the production rolled on.

Twirl, GirlWednesday, July 27, 2016
Hey there fashionista/o's!
I hope you all have been doing well in this hot summer heat. Today I am going to show you one of my favorite outfits that is dainty and sweet. I shot this a couple of weeks ago and was out there in the blazing sun to get the perfect shots so that I can share them with all of you!
Today I am also featuring one of my favorite brands, Bearpaw. I have over ten pairs of the boots/sandals and I am still obsessed to this day. They always have creative and fun designs that are never boring! So, let's get onto the outfit details because I know that you all wondering where I got every piece from.
So, I am wearing a nice and flow-y 3/4th sleeved dress. It is extremely light and delicate. I personally think that this dress is perfect for those twirls that you see girls do in the movies. I kept my outfit simple yet cute by pairing it with a statement necklace and my trusty 'ole Bearpaw sandals. Lastly, I kept my makeup natural and made my hair a little wavy. At the very end, I could not take the heat so I resorted to putting a mini bun on top of my head. Overall, I think this look is great! I would place it in the dressy-casual category. Dressy enough to go to Sunday brunch with your boyfriend's parents yet casual enough to look cute while you go out shopping with your friends!
(Remember, the links might not take you to the direct item, I am just telling you where I get my clothes from)
Dress: Urban Outfitters
Necklace: Forever 21
Shoes: Bearpaw
I am also very excited to let you know that I will be launching a YouTube Channel soon to share all of my lookbooks, makeup tutorials, and DIYs with you all!

On 24 May 2018, the Public Health Amendment (Safe Access to Reproductive Health Clinics) Bill 2018 ("Bill") passed the NSW Legislative Council without amendments. The Bill proposes to make amendments to the Public Health Act 2010 (NSW) by introducing an 150-metre exclusion zone around reproductive health clinics to stop patients and staff members being harassed or intimidated by anti-abortion protestors. The change would bring NSW in line with ACT, Victoria and Tasmania, who already have similar legislation.
In a media statement, the president of the Australian Medical Association New South Wales ("AMA (NSW)"), Dr Kean-Seng Lim, stated that the AMA (NSW) "supports this because people should be able to have unobstructed access to healthcare facilities and be able to approach them without harassment."
The Bill will now go to the Legislative Assembly for debate. Read the media statement here.

Altogether, Baby Post lists 10 "spring" names, most of which are tributes to wells or water. The few names which have some connection to spring (the season) are, for the most part, names you'd be unlikely to consider using.
Apple This fruity name was both shocking and ludicrous when Gwyneth Paltrow gave it to her daughter ten years ago, and it's still ludicrous, but no longer seems shocking. Does it celebrate spring? Not really. It celebrates apples.
Bradwell According to Baby Post, this name means "from the broad spring," so it has nothing to do with the spring season. Besides, it's a clunky name few people would consider using.
Claire or Clare I like this name. It means "bright and clear." It has nothing whatsoever to do with spring. So, don't pick it to celebrate spring. Pick it to celebrate clear thinking or clear eyesight. Or just because you like it. Between Claire and Clare, I prefer the former—but I won't pout if you disagree.
Daisy This name celebrates the spring season and is a fine, old-fashioned name that calls to mind the old song that starts like this: "Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer, true. I'm half-crazy all for the love of you." Although daisies look fresh, this name comes across as rather dated. But, even so, it's probably the best spring name on Baby Post's list.
Kelby Here's another name that celebrates fountains or springs. It's kind of cute. It's also kind of odd.
Maxwell I never knew that Maxwell means "Max's well or spring." It's yet another name that has nothing to do with the spring season. But like Claire, I think it's a usable name—unless you're looking for a name that celebrates spring, the season.
Aviv and/or Aviva These names (Aviv for boys, Aviva for girls) mean "springtime" in Hebrew. Aviva is a fairly common name in Israel. It's also a "Jewish name" given to North American girls whose name begins with the letter "A" (like Anne or Alexandra) as part of a Jewish naming ceremony when they are born. Girls named Alexandra may tell Israelis to call them Aviva when they visit Israel, but most of them prefer to be called Anne or Alexandra in America or Canada. So, Aviv and Aviva are unlikely to be used by many North Americans–as their every day names.
Weldon Here's an Old English name that means "the hill near a spring." As you can see it's about a hill near water rather than about spring (the season). I suppose it's not an bad name, if you're into wells, like Anne Donahue of Baby Post.
Verdi You've probably heard of Giuseppe Verdi, an Italian opera composer whose name translates in English to Joe Green. Verdi is Italian for Green and was probably included on this list of supposedly "spring names" because Baby Post was better at finding names about water than about the spring season. Would you name your son or daughter Green? If not, don't name your son or daughter Verdi.
Laverna Supposedly this French name means "born in spring." So it's a name that celebrates spring (the season). Unfortunately, it reminds me of Laverne and Shirley, two funny TV characters from the late 70s and early 80s who worked as bottlecappers in a Milwaukee brewery. They wouldn't be my first picks as namesakes for my daughter, which is why even though they have a connection to the spring season, Laverna is only worth considering if you are desperate to find a female name to celebrate the spring season and Baby Posts' 7 water names and 3 "spring names" are your only options.
If you want to come up with some more usable spring names, here are some names you might want to consider for baby girls. April, June, Lark, Laurel, Lily, May, Poppy, Robin, Vera, Violet, and Wren. Of the names my spring list, I think Lily, April and Robin have the most appeal.

Festival Preview: OR: 4/26 – 4/28 Oregon Garden Brewfest is coming!
Been to a beer festival lately?
No we don't mean visiting an alehouse or someone's warehouse space, away from the threat of cold, rain, or winds. We're talking about a REAL beer festival, located in an open area, filled with gravel, asphalt, dirt, or grass. A place where the only thing between you and the sky is a piece of plastic tent overhead. You know a beer festival. Well you're gonna need to wait a little bit longer till the weather clears up.
Instead we wanted to remind you that just down the street in Silverton (Oregon) the Ninth Annual Oregon Garden Brewfest is returning. From April 26th thru April 28th you are asked to skip the outdoor 'honey-do list' and stop by between noon and 11 PM (Friday or Saturday) or Sunday between noon and six.
Ok. How much is this gonna cost me?
Like all things there is a pre-pay and the 'at the door' version. If you are willing to go online and freely post your credit card number, you can pick up a one-day pass for $15 or a three-day pass for $25. What's included (for a one-day pass) is seven tasting tickets compared 15 tickets (for the three-day pass). Also included is express entry. Oh and the tasting glass is included as well, since we can't have you drinking out of your hand.
But if $25 still isn't making the wallet light enough, you can spend $50 for a VIP pass. Included in the VIP pass is the glass, early entry, 45 tickets, a t-shirt, and a food voucher.
Then again if you are concerned about giving a total stranger your Mastercard, Visa, or Discover Card number, you can purchase tickets at the door. The only catch is you miss out on early entry and between 2 – 10 extra tickets (depending on which package you purchase).
Now that we have your attention how about some rules.
A full glass of beer costs four tickets, and a taster costs one ticket. Additional tasting tickets may be purchased for $1 apiece. The event is cash only, with an ATM on-site. Parking at The Oregon Garden is $5 per car; free shuttles will be available to various locations in town. The Oregon Garden Brewfest is for ages 21 and over on Friday and Saturday; minors are welcome all hours on Sunday.
Then again you might consider the following should you already have a long weekend planned.
Brewer's Tasting Dinner
The second annual Brewer's Tasting Dinner will take place on the eve of the festival, Thursday, April 25 at 7 pm. This six-course tasting will be attended by participating brewers and industry insiders. Each course will be a small plate paired with a beer tasting from one of six area breweries. There are limited tickets available to the public for $40 apiece.
Connoisseur Tasting
The Connoisseur Tasting is from Noon to 2pm on Friday and features many brewers at their booths to engage with the general public. This tasting is included with Friday admission.
Finally the organizers wanted us to remind you there are still reservations available for those who wish to spend the night or the weekend.
Oregon Garden Resort Brewfest Package
For those from out of the area who wish to make a night of it, The Oregon Garden Resort is offering two room packages: the Brewer's Dinner Package for $219 is available on April 25 only and includes accommodations, two tickets to the Brewer's Dinner, breakfast for two the next morning, and two one-day tickets to the Brewfest on April 26. The Brewfest Package for $189 is available April 25 through April 28 and includes accommodations, breakfast for two, two one-day tickets to the Brewfest and two food booth vouchers. Reservations are available at http://oregongardenresort.com/Packages.htm or call 503-874-2500.
Get your tickets online at Oregon Brewfest's website (http://ogbf2013.blogspot.com) or at the door.
Friday April 26th, 2013 – Sunday April 28th, 2013
Oregon Garden Brewfest in the J. Frank Schmidt Jr. Pavilion and Event Tent
879 West Main Street Silverton, OR 97381
About the Oregon Garden Brewfest

Hello folks, the card I have for you today was made for the current stamping course that I am doing. All the stamps used are from Elusive Images. I started this scene by making masks from torn paper for the hills and then sponging green and brown ink to make the hills. The foliage was stamped next using a selection of green and brown inks and then the tree. I thought the whole scene looked a little bland so I decided to add in the red and yellow flowers to the tree and foliage to give it a lift which I think has worked quite well.
Thanks for looking and will be back soon.

Vision: To be a modern Parliament that fulfills its constitutional duties and effectively serves the people of Solomon Islands.
National Parliament of Solomon Islands
News and Information
The Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee, Hon. Douglas Ete recently participated in the Development Finance Assessment (Mission 2) for Solomon Islands.
This initiative was a call from the Solomon Islands Government to monitor implementations of national obligations; in particular the National Development Strategy (NDS) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The consultation was co-facilitated by the Ministry of Development Planning & Aid Coordination and the United Nations Development Program.
The Development Finance Assessment (DFA) and Integrated Financing Solution (Addis Ababa Action Agenda 30) process, is a policy tool to ensure that all National Governments work effectively with its key stakeholders to develop and strengthen an integrated and holistic approach towards financing the National Development targets across all Public and Private sectors, including the Civil Society.
The DFA methodology is a response to a demand from countries across the Asia- Pacific region and beyond, to rally support for policy and institutional reforms that will help the government to be more effective in managing its financing policy for the sustainable development goal results.
The consultation hopes to establish a financial landscape (evidence based scenarios) by which the National Development Strategy (NDS) 2016-2035 and the SDGs at the national level, ought to be funded.
Findings from this consultation hopes to aid the structuring of a financing framework; as well as setting a coherent financial roadmap together for donor partners and Solomon Islands, which will be headed by the Ministry of Development Planning & Aid Coordination on the said NDS 2016- 2035 and the SDGs.
Hon. Ete indicate his contentment for the government's approach in incorporating the SGDs with the NDS, however strongly emphasized that legislations are paramount to achieving these goals.
