Amazing!! I have twin 11 year old daughters, one is high functioning Autistic, and they both love it! (They agree on something after all! Lol) I train with them as well and it is great to train as a family. We've been training under Master Ortiz for 2 years now. He is amazingly patient, talented, inspiring, and has so much love for all his students. I had no previous training and have been encouraged and challenged every step of the way, accomplishing much more than I could ever have imagined. More than just a great place to train with several amazing instructors...it is a family!
Best group of instructors & staff anyone can ask for. They truly care about the growth of your child! My son started with Karate 2x a week...a year later he has moved on to Karate & Brazilian JuJitsu 4-5x a week!! We LOVE this school and love the instructors. They're like an extended family.
Warrior Martial Arts teaches their students how to defend themselves while getting in the best shape and developing the confidence of a Black Belt! I have had the pleasure of working with Master David Ortiz and know him to be one of the best instructors out there. You will gain so much training at Warrior Martial Arts!
Attended an excellent self defense seminar here at Warrior. Wonderful staff with great insight into common sense ways of escaping several different scenarios. Will be returning for the next one. Highly recommend giving this school a trial or attending a self defense seminar to explore the programs they offer. Thank you for all your help, guidance, and patience in teaching me and listening to my story of survival.
Took their Self Defense class and loved it! Very concise, but thorough and realistic. The instructors' teaching styles were very straightforward and clear. I feel a lot more prepared, and will absolutely recommend this class to anyone who's interested in defense!

Published at Saturday, March 14th, 2020 - 04:38:19 AM. Bedding. By Maria Halphen.
Since the bed is generally the biggest piece of furniture in a bedroom, your dressing clearly sets the tone for the whole room. Whether you're looking for basic items such as flat or fitted sheets, duvet covers, valances and pillowcases, or extras like cushions and throws, quilts and comforters or drapes and hangings, there is a large choice. Manufacturers offer a wide variety of makes, colors, thread count and patterns and coordinate bedlinens and curtains to make it easy to put a pretty room together.
To make the bedding comfortable, you should select appropriate mattresses and pillows to match the style. Select bright coloured pillows, to get a fresh look. Foam pillows are more suitable if you usually sleep straight on your back, where as softer down pillow would be a better choice, if you have habit of sleeping on your stomach.

Kalispell Brewing Co. Cloudcroft IPA American IPA at 7.3% ABV | 76 IBU (US$1.99 at Brix Bottleshop, 355 ml, packaged on 2-Aug-2018, acquired 22-Oct-2018, reviewed 26-Oct-2018)
Appearance: hazily muddy pale amber with two fat fingers of rocky ivory head, good retention and moderate droopy lacing. Marred slightly by heavy chunks of particulate. (3/5) Aroma: dank pine, caramel, citrus, light floral. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, high bitter. (8/10) Palate: medium body, moderate carbonation, off-dry lingering and building bitter finish. (4/5)
A pleasantly dank West Coast-ish IPA, with a serious hop punch in the finish leaving no doubt as to the presence of massive doses of the usual suspects starts-with-C hops. (Turns out it's CTZ, Chinook, Cascade, and Summit.) My biggest complaint about this one is the appearance, which is muddy and marred by large flakes of particulate. Other than that admittedly minor quibble, it's an enjoyable brew for a hop head. (15/20)

Kenneth Grant Jamieson (1925 – 1976) neurosurgeon
Kenneth Jamieson was noted for his clinical acumen and dexterous surgery. He pioneered techniques in the treatment of pineal tumours and arterial aneurysms. Particularly interested in head injuries, mostly due to motor vehicle accidents, he was appalled by the lack of safety precautions which had contributed to them Of deep religious conviction, Jamieson was a regular worshipper at St Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Brisbane. He was a councillor of the Presbyterian/Methodist Schools' Association.
Kenneth Grant Jamieson, was born on 2 January 1925 at Hawthorn, Melbourne, second child of Victorian-born parents Aubrey Carlyle Jamieson, machinery merchant, and his wife Christina, née Grant. Educated (on a scholarship) at Scotch College, Ken excelled academically and as a rower.
Following a brief term as a locum tenens in Perth and a study-trip to Europe and North America, Jamieson was appointed to the (Royal) Brisbane Hospital in 1956. He established a neurosurgical unit (1960) which became the department of neurology and neurosurgery (1962). A man of prodigious energy, he fostered a team-management approach to patients, involving the participation of medical, nursing and ancillary personnel. Jamieson was also noted for his clinical acumen and dexterous surgery, and pioneered techniques to reach previously inaccessible regions in the treatment of pineal tumours and arterial aneurysms. Particularly interested in head injuries, mostly due to motor vehicle accidents, he was appalled by the lack of safety precautions which had contributed to them. He led scientific research into these injuries and their treatment through the traffic injury committee of the National Health and Medical Research Council (1961), the road trauma committee of the Royal Australian College of Surgeons and the interim committee of the Australian Resuscitation Council (1976).
Largely due to his lobbying, the State parliament introduced legislation imposing limits to drivers' blood-alcohol level (1968), and governing the wearing of crash-helmets by motorcyclists (1970) and seat belts in motor vehicles (1972).
In addition to his commitments at R.B.H., Jamieson provided advice and practical assistance for country doctors faced with emergency treatment of head injuries. With little time to develop a private practice, he shared an operating list one evening each week at St Andrew's War Memorial Hospital. He maintained a keen interest in surgical teaching and administration: he was a member (from 1971) of the council of the R.A.C.S. and was elected to the court of examiners in neurosurgery in 1974. President (1971-73) of the Neurosurgical Society of Australasia, he wrote A First Notebook of Head Injury (1965), seven monographs and over fifty scientific papers. In 1973 he delivered the Joseph Bancroft oration to the Queensland branch of the Australian Medical Association. A fellow of the R.A.C.S. (1963) and of the American College of Surgeons (1970), he was awarded a doctorate of medicine by the University of Melbourne in 1967 and a doctorate of surgery by the University of Queensland in 1975.
Of deep religious conviction, Jamieson was a regular worshipper at St Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Brisbane. He was a councillor of the Presbyterian/Methodist Schools' Association and member of the board of governors of St Andrew's War Memorial Hospital, where he also chaired the planning committee. Survived by his wife, son and five daughters, he died of myocardial infarction on 28 January 1976 in R.B.H. and was cremated.
In October the neurosurgical unit he had founded at the hospital was named after him.

Describe your book in 5 words.
Oooh, tough! No, wait, is that two gone already? Those words don't count do they?! Right, let's start again. I would describe My Sister Lives on the Mantelpiece as real, funny, quirky, emotive and hopeful.
Did you need to do any research for My Sister Lives On The Mantelpiece?
I did a little bit, checking my facts about Islam and visiting websites devoted to people who had lost their lives in terrorist attacks, but mostly I just wrote as authentically as I could, drawing upon my own experience. I find it very easy to empathise with people, so it wasn't too difficult to imagine the father and his reaction to losing Rose, or how a child of Jamie's age might become fed up of the attention given to her urn on the mantelpiece.
Who would you like to see as the main cast if My Sister Lives On The Mantelpiece got made into a movie/ TV adaptation?
There are some fantastic questions here. I have never been asked this before.
Okay, here goes… (swigs tea and loads up Google)
Jamie – Ryan Turner from the front cover and trailer
(see here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7GQljV3xtQ&feature=related). He's always been my Jamie, ever since I saw him in the promotional video.
Jasmine – Saiorse Ronan. She's a good actress, very real and raw and sort of strong yet vulnerable, which is important for Jas.
Dad – Right, this is a strange one, but I always picture Simon Pegg. Though he's better known for his comedic stuff, he's a great dramatic actor as well, and he's a little unhinged but empathetic, which is crucial for Jamie's father.
Some authors do certain things while they write like listen to music etc. Do you have to do anything like this while you write?
I prefer to work in silence, but when that gets too much, I always listen to classical music when I write. Anything with lyrics I find too distracting.
When did you know that you wanted to be a writer?
Since about the age of ten, I always thought of writing as one of my career options – but I also considered playing for Manchester United (men's team) and becoming an international spy. I wasn't particularly serious about it, but I knew that I loved writing and I loved the way I felt when I was making up stories, and how fun it was to invent different worlds. It wasn't until my early twenties that I started to take my ambition to be a writer more seriously. In a bookshop in Ambleside, I suddenly realised that people were making a living as authors, and there was no real reason why I couldn't give it a go too. That day, I bought loads of notepads and pens and started to jot down different ideas. A couple of years later, I wrote My Sister Lives on the Mantelpiece.
Are there any other YA authors that you admire?
I like Jennie Downham for the courage of her writing. She deals with difficult subjects in an unflinchingly honest way, never becoming sentimental or resorting to cheap shock tactics. The characters in her books feel so real, as if they are people you could meet in the shop or at school, and that is difficult to achieve. I also admire David Almond. He writes poetically, really focusing on the lyricism and sound of the words, and is more concerned with the beauty of a piece of work than its commercial appeal. I respect that.
What is your favourite book of all time and why?
The Go-Between. It is a beautiful, coming-of-age tale that perfectly captures the uncertainty, pain and excitement of leaving childhood and being on the brink of adolescence. I've read it five times and I'm sure I will read it five more!
What book are you reading at the minute?
At the moment, I am laughing my way through Caitlin Moran's How To Be a Woman.
Which YA (human) character would you love to be and why?
Hermione in Harry Potter, for her brains, her guts and the adventures that she has. I'd love to escape from a goblin bank on the back of a dragon, hunt for horcruxes, sleep in a magical tent in the middle of the countryside with Ron Weasley… Yes, I'd do all of that quite happily!
Which YA (non human) character would you love to be and why?
I think I'd have to be Pan, Lyra's daemon, in Northern Lights, for his ability to shape-shift. Imagine being a bird when you just fancy getting away from it all, a mouse if you want to hide from the world, a lion if you need to be brave… Incredible.

COLUMBIA - One local restaurant employee is accused of sexual assault after a reported incident at La Siesta Mexican Restaurant over the weekend.
Rudi Perez-Ramirez was arrested on charges of sodomy in the first degree and felonious restraint after Columbia police said an investigation revealed Perez-Ramirez followed a woman into the bathroom and sodomized her there.
The owner of La Siesta said the victim was a long-time customer and even considered a friend.
"She has been a pretty regular customer," Guillen said. "She had been here several times. We've known her for a long, long time. Long-term customers in the end become friends, so she's one good friend. I never, never expected this was going to happen."
According to Guillen, Perez-Ramirez had been buying drinks for the victim all night before following her into the bathroom. He also said Perez-Ramirez was drunk himself at the time. At that point a customer complained to another worker about a man in the woman's restroom, but the employee didn't act on the situation.
"I didn't even know," Guillen said. "I came back at the end of the night, and nobody talked about it. I went home and was already in bed when I got a call from the hospital, so I had to jump out of bed and run to the hospital because I didn't know what was going on."
Perez-Ramirez worked at the location since it opened over a year ago, and Guillen said he didn't regret the decision at the time.
"We actually hired him on the first day we opened this location," Guillen said. "He had been working for us for a little over a year. He had quit a couple of times and then we rehired him. We never thought it would be a bad decision."
Guillen said the restaurant is looking into the situation and already addressed current employees about the lack of response and drinking on the job.
Perez-Ramirez is currently held on a $100,000 cash bond with his first arraignment set for March 23.

Grimmuseum is pleased to present the group exhibition ON FIRE – Notions of community in post-apartheid South Africa. The Photography Exhibition brings to Berlin four South African photographers from different generations. Focusing on various aspects of social life such as spirituality, identity, immigration, family and LGTBI life, their visual approaches document, question, reveal and/or reinterpret in different ways the notion of "community" in the specific context of the "Rainbow Nation".
The idea of "community" draws a vast landscape in social narratives and political imagination, that go from the lost utopias of the past, to the longing for the sense of togetherness of the future. Banalized through its extensive use in social media of all sorts, used and abused in political speeches from different if not opposed tendencies, "community" can appear as a port-manteau word. Or a common-place, precisely.
More over, we could ask, after french philosopher J. L. Nancy: has the emergence and our increasing consciousness of decolonized communities, the growth of unprecedented forms of being-in-common -through the channels of information as well as through what is called "multi-racial" society, triggered any genuine renewal of the question of community?
This exhibition explores a visual approach to that question. The selection of photographies (re)present communities that exist in concrete social realities of South Africa as well as in its projected, phantasmagoric or fantasized landscape. Communities appear in unexpected spaces, drawing a landscape between the globalized and the fragmented. Different from other identity narratives or signifiers (religion, gender, "ethnicity", etc), the "community" appear both as a particularly useful concept to sign the complexity of certain disrupted realities in the crisis of old and more stable models of identification, and a concrete praxis that creates (or not) a sense of togetherness and belonging. What creates a sense of "community" seems needing to be redefined again and again. From the communion in the spiritual experience of the religious feeling (as beautifully portrait in the work of Andrew Tshabangu), to the documentation of the illegal migrant workers that Dean Hutton portraits in the "Zuma Zumas" series, communities appear in these works in the sharing, diffusion, or impregnation of an identity by a plurality, and interrogate the possibility of an "absolute immanence of human to human".

Frightened by the same-sex marriage bill introduced by New York governor David Paterson yesterday, Stephen Colbert released an anti-gay-marriage video on his show last night. His impetus for speaking out was the recent touching (and truthful) National Organization for Marriage ad, which he loves because "it's like watching the 700 Club and The Weather Channel at the same time." Using that as his inspiration, Colbert make his own commercial about the storm that is gathering. The giant, gay storm.
There have been a few of these ad parodies circling the internet this week, but Colbert really highlights the most terrifying thing of all: The gay storm is a threat to the straight people because getting hit with big gay lightning can actually turn you into a homo. Yikes!
The best part of the commercial is Colbert's comment at the end: "Remember, when the gay community is granted personal freedoms, ours get taken away. How? Shhhh! Did you see all that lightning?"

The game includes all the teams, riders and circuits from the 2014 MotoGP World Championship and include all 3 classes: Moto3, Moto2 and MotoGP. Building on the foundations of MotoGP 13, the game brings new features including a brand new audio and graphics engine, and revamped physics, aimed at improving upon the shortcomings of MotoGP 13 highlighted by critics and players alike. The development of the game involved over 200 people, and took around a year and a half. MotoGP 14 boasts an all new sound engine and graphics engine which will allow for improved engine audio as well as revamped graphics, including improvements in lighting and shading.

Single player modes include Time Attack, Grand Prix, Championship, Career and a new Scenario Mode, where players are put into a variety of situations based on past MotoGP events. Career mode will be similar to the previous title. The player will create their own rider and start as a wildcard with the ultimate aim of becoming MotoGP World Champion. Along the way the player will manage sponsors, bike upgrades as well as virtual fans and press through social media and interactions. The game includes both 12 player online and two player local multiplayer. Online game modes include Grand Prix, Championship and Sprint Season. Also included is a mode called Split Battle, where players aim to complete the most number of laps and fastest sector splits in limited time. There is also a mode which offers control of the BMW M4 safety car.
Per the calendar, the Laguna Seca race was removed, and a new race was added at Autódromo Termas de Río Hondo. In October 2014, Donington Park was added as downloadable content. Hardcore Gamer gave the game a 3 out of 5, saying "With this as the first cross-generational game in the series, it would make sense to start things off right with a killer game. Sadly, that hasn't quite happened, and the end product doesn't just amplify existing issues, but brings some new ones to the table as well.
Everyeye.it summarised the game as a "Brand new engine and a good balance between simulation and arcade", with SpazioGames concluding that it was "a major step forward for Milestone. This is undoubtedly one of their most successful works, a mass of content held together by a deep, detailed and difficult-to-master gameplay". ZTGD said that "fans of the sport and franchise have a lot great modes to look forward to, with not only single player races but multiplayer also", while PSX-Sense said that "the graphics aren't as appealing as they should be." The game reached number 11 in the UK PS3 sales charts. and number 6 in the PS4 charts.

History of the Harley Davidson Softail
Harley Davidson is an American motorcycle manufacturer that was founded in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1903. With over 100 years of experience, this company has become one of the largest motorcycle manufacturers in the world. Harley has developed some of the most iconic motorcycles of all time and is continuously improving and developing new products to hold up to their legacy. Harley has many models that all have their own distinctive traits. In this article, we will specifically talk about one of the most well known models, the Harley Davidson Softail.
What Defines the Softail?
The Softail frame is designed to appear rigid and hardtail, but still offer the comfort of rear suspension. Tucked away under the transmission on models '84-'17 are shock absorbers positioned along the axis of the motorcycle. On 2018 models, these shock absorbers are located under the seat. Historically, Harley Davidson offered springer leading link forks in addition to the different front fork configurations on Softails. These springer front ends were meant to resemble the sprung front ends used prior to the Hydra-Glide in 1949. The Harley Davidson Softail models did not have rubber-mounted engines, causing much more vibration on Evolution engined Softails. Later models used the counterbalanced version of the Twin Cam engine, followed by the Milwaukee Eight in the 2018 model.
Harley Davidson offers several models with the Softail frame, including the Softail Standard, Custom, Springer Softail, Heritage Softail, Heritage Springer, Night Train, Deluxe, Deuce, Fat Boy, Softail Slim, the Dark Custom Cross Bones, the Dark Custom Blackline, and Breakout.
Where it all Started
In the mid-1970's, Bill Davis designed the Softail. He began working on his first design in 1974. It had a cantilever swingarm that pivoted at the bottom and sprung at the top with the springs and shock absorber under the seat. In 1976, Bill contacted Willie G. Davidson and arranged a meeting. He presented what he built, a prototype based on his 1972 Super Glide. Six months later, Davidson replied to Davis stating the company would not be able to use the design, but was still interested.
After that, Davis switched up the design and placed the pivot and springing points so that the springs and shock absorber were under the frame and the pivot point was at the top of the triangular swing arm. In January 1982, after a failed attempt to go independently as Road Worx, Bill Davis sold his patents, prototype, and tooling to Harley Davidson. In June of 1983, Harley introduced Davis's design as the FXST Softail.
The Development of the Softail
The original FXST Heritage Softail rolled out with an 80ci Evolution motor in 1984.
Bringing back the classic springer fork, Harley introduced the FXSTS Springer Softail in 1988.
In 1990, one of the most popular Softails ever made was introduced. The FLSTF Fat Boy has a distinct meaty headlight housing, solid wheels, and floorboards.
The Heritage Classic was introduced with full FL front fender, 1940s style leather saddlebafs with quick detach buckles and chrome wheels and hubs- all paying a special respect to the past.
The FXSTD Softail Deuce was presented to riders in 1999. This lean and mean Harley has a long, slim tank, and sleek front end.
The FXSTB Night Train was like nothing we had ever seen for the Softail before. The night train has a blacked-out powertrain and wrinkle black trim on engine covers, air cleaner, oil tank, rear fender supports, drive belt sprocket, and fuel tank console.
The Dark Cross Bones went for the chopped bobber look. It has a springer front end, half moon floorboards, and a sprung seat.
Next came the Softail Deluxe, and it was nothing like the Cross Bones. This bike can transform from a touring to a cruiser in a snap with its convertible components.
The Dyna is Dead
In 2018 Harley introduced a completely redesigned version of the Softail frame. The frame used a different shaped swingarm suspended by a single rear shock absorber that's mounted underneath the seat. They claim the new chassis is stiffer and lighter than the previous Softail. They've also canned the Twin Cam motor and replaced it with a Milwaukee Eight motor.
As we've all heard the recent controversy, the Harley Davidson Dyna has been discontinued as some of its models have been carried over to the new Softail chassis. After seeing the dyno test results on the '17 Street Bob with a 103 ci compared to the '18 Street Bob 107 ci , it's clear this bike has got some serious power. The 2017 Street Bob 103 ci was dyno tested and made 65 hp (48 kW) and 88 lb⋅ft (119 N⋅m) at the rear wheel. The new 2018 Street Bob 107 ci makes 77 hp (57 kW) and 101 lb⋅ft (137 N⋅m) at the rear wheel. The 114 ci motor such as in the 2018 Heritage Classic produces 81 hp (60 kW) and 108 lb⋅ft (146 N⋅m) at the rear wheel.
Getting rid of the Dyna was a risky move on Harley Davidson's behalf but this isn't the first time we've seen one of our favorite models become discontinued. As much as a we hate to see the Dyna go, Harley Davidson is still meeting their main goal; to continue showing improvement and development in their motorcycles. Only time will tell if Harley has made the right decision on the Dyna models but we believe the new Softail frame will prosper in the motorcycle industry.

[News] Wonder Girls Hit iTunes with 'Nobody', 090626

Wonder Girls hit iTunes with 'Nobody'
Jun 26, 2009, 05:57 PM | by David Yi
Categories: Do My Job For Me, New stuff, News
This year, two Korean pop superstars, Se7en and BoA, attempted to launch their American careers — and barely made it to lift-off. Can the Wonder Girls avoid their fate of soaring into obscurity?
Today, the five-member girl group's first English-language single, a remake of their immensely popular song "Nobody," is officially released on iTunes. And from the many international fans the girls have acquired, the countless covers of the song found throughout YouTube, and the mere fact that the girls will open for limited shows this summer for America's own wonder boys, the Jonas Brothers, we may finally have a winner!
It doesn't hurt that the song is bubblegum pop at its best, with teenage lyrics of unrequited love meshing sweetly with the electric piano and synthesizers in the background. Will there be a music video in the works?
While the Wonder Girls wonder if they'll make it in the States, I'm gonna go out on a limb and sing, "I want nobody, nobody but you, Wonder Girls."
What are your thoughts, Music Mixers? Do you think the song is addictive, or just whatevs? More importantly, could we finally see a real Asian wave in America, much like the Latin Sensation in the '90s, or will the Wonder Girls, too, fade away?

For the first session the feedback poll was closed by the time I got on the forums to give my feedback, so I couldn't comment, or even vote on the first session.
For the second session at least one question in the most recent feedback poll didn't make sense in English (the answers regarding FPS were for some other question that wasn't asked) so none of the data means anything since you can't ascertain what people's answers mean.
For instance I am uable to express that my FPS is cut in half on the public test build, because none of the pre-chosen answers relate to the question asked.
I'm not normally one to moan about silly things like you see so often on this forum, but the whole feedback procedure for the public test server seems very slapdash & just thrown together on the back of a ***-packet.
Hopefully it'll improve in time for the next set of public test server sessions.
All the best - J

EDI Success Using Liaison at a leading manufacturer of fastening products
What is EDI?
EDI is the electronic transmission of business documents from one company's computer Application to another company's computer Application using standardized formats prescribed by National or International standards.
Components of EDI
EDI has three major components:
Trading Partner
- Organization that agree to exchange business documents via EDI
Translation Software
- It is the software that converts files to or from EDI format.
- In the case of outbound documents, an internal application file format is converted into EDI format.
- For inbound documents, the EDI format is converted into an internal applicationn file format.
- It is neither necessary for trading partners to use the same translation software, nor is it necessary for them to have similar hardware platforms
- Communication methods with trading partners (via VAN, FTP, AS2, etc.)
- Penalties and Fines for incorrect and late transactions.
- Cost and time to develop the maps with EDI provider was high.
- Integration was a nightmare and no one person had full control or knowledge on the entire EDI process
- Traceability was missing, lots of paper and manual process.
- Compliance issues for Medical, Consumer, and Transportation industries.
- 100's of Sales Orders (850) and Blanket Releases (830) were being manually entered in the Oracle System.
- Order Acknowledgements (855) manually transmitted.
- Similarly, 100's of ship confirms/ASN's and Invoices (810) were manually transmitted via EDI to the client.
- Shipping Labels were manually generated as link with EDI #'s was missing.
- Top 25 Trading Partners for Consumer, Automotive and Medical SBU were targeted
- 30% of Overall Revenue was Automated 100% via EDI
- Oracle EDI Gateway
- Oracle Release Management Module
- Liaison Delta 6.1 Enterprise Edition (Translation Software)
Liaison Delta's Open Architecture for Data Transformation lets you create just about any integration solution imaginable. Delta is an any-to-any mapper, which means you can use it to integrate all incoming and outgoing e-commerce documents with your internal applications. Plus, when you pair Delta with Liaison ECS, you have an Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) solution capable of coordinating many diverse applications, databases, and ecommerce formats found throughout your enterprise.
Comprehensive Standards Support:
Handle any EDI standards your industry, applications, or trading partners throw at you, including ANSI X12, EDIFACT, TRADACOMS and HL7 standards.
Real-Time Visibility:
Spot errors, uncover trends, and answer pressing questions such as, "Did my customer receive my 810?" with real-time, web-based visibility into your transactional and operational EDI data.
Unlimited Interconnects:
Make one easy connection to Liaison Delta's integration platform; it will do the rest, delivering data to and from all trading partners across the organization's extended ecosystem.
Significant Savings:
Experience cost savings of 30% or more when you take advantage of the expertise, efficiency, and economies of scale offered by the Liaison.
Oracle e-Commerce gateway (earlier EDI gateway) module helps organizations meet their EDI requirements with flexibility to use choice of their translator, EDI standard and yet tightly integrates with other modules from Oracle.
The Oracle Gateway resides between the Oracle Applications and the EDI Translator, and processes data between them using ASCII interface flat files.
The EDI Translator accommodates the standards and all the monitoring of transmitting standard formatted data between Trading Partners. For outbound data, the EDI Translator maps data from the Oracle interface flat files to any standards of choice. For inbound data, the EDI Translator maps data from the standards of choice to the Oracle interface flat file.
The Gateway is independent of all standard formats since only the business data is found in the Oracle Gateway defined interface files. Additionally, the Oracle Gateway provides general code conversion functions for data such as Unit of Measure, Shipping Codes, Payment Terms, and determines the Trading Partner EDI validation/authorization between the Oracle application and the EDI Translator.
For inbound transactions, Oracle Gateway populates the Application Open Interfaces within the Oracle Application products. All the necessary application logic to validate and load data is provided by the Application Programming Interface code (APIs), i.e. not by the Gateway. The Gateway only populates the relevant Application Open Interface tables recognized by the APIs for the specific EDI message/transaction.
Process Flow
- Gets Trading Partner validation processing parameters e.g. location codes, allowable/enabled EDI transactions/messages, etc.
- Applies code conversions
- Loads valid data into the appropriate Oracle Application Open Interface tables for the transaction.
- e-Commerce Gateway captures transaction data exceptions and can be reviewed from the staging tables
For outbound transactions, the Gateway extracts the data from the base Application tables and creates interface data files with all business data needed to map to a standard EDI transaction/message which the receiving Trading Partner can interpret properly into their receiving application using their equivalent of the Gateway/EDI Translator set up.
Process Flow
- Gets Trading Partner processing parameters, e.g. location codes, allowable/enabled EDI transactions/messages, etc.
- Extracts data from the Oracle base applications tables relevant to the EDI transaction/message being processed.
- Applies code conversions
- Populates Oracle Gateway interface tables with all the data gathered.
- Sets the data extract flags in the base Oracle Application table to prevent subsequent extraction.
- Produces an interface data file for use by the EDI Translator.
- Labels Integration for Traceability, Alerts for missing order, ASN's, Invoices, etc.
- EDI Disaster Recovery system implemented.
- No errors, no penalties or fines, eliminated manual process and paper work.
- ASN's are transmitted in less than 5 mins of Oracle Ship Confirmations.
- Orders are loaded in less than 5 mins of receiving in the EDI system.
- Invoices are automatically transmitted as part of the nightly process.

Community Energy Aggregation: A Cheap Choice?
Unique ID: 668693c0-f03a-417c-a472-5d2f957cb4c0
Community energy aggregation programs allow a local government or a group of local governments to pool (or aggregate) in order to purchase and/or develop power on behalf of their residents, businesses, and municipal accounts. This is an energy supply model that works in partnership with the region's existing utility, which continues to deliver power, maintain the grid, provide consolidated billing and other customer services. The aggregated demand and group purchasing aspires to achieve local objectives including consumer rate savings, greenhouse gas reductions, new revenues for local energy programs, utility reform, and jobs creation.
There are currently six states with several other states considering allowing community choice aggregation:
- California
- Illinois
- Massachusetts
- New Jersey
- Ohio
- Rhode Island
The key word is "choice." Customers have a choice between the local utility company or the community aggregation product. Energy aggregation can be done on an opt-in or opt-out basis (depending on state statute), but the most common and successful programs are opt-out. This means that customers are automatically enrolled after a successful public referendum at the local level, as in Illinois and Ohio; or, enrolled when their local elected representatives (city council or county board) vote to form or join a CCA program, as in California. The opt-in approach is voluntary but participation rates are traditionally very low which reduces the value of group purchasing and makes it harder for local programs to achieve economic viability. Opt-out aggregation achieves the necessary market scale for effective group purchasing, but allows a customer to switch back to utility service at any time. Either way, customers always have the choice to stay or go. According to some studies, if the "opt-out period" – typically 60 days – is missed, a customer may be charged an exit fee which is one of the possible uncertain or unknown costs.
This concept intends to bring an enormous amount of benefit while also reducing cost. Sounds pretty good, doesn't it? As studies are underway, minds are mixed on the actual cost savings as well as a possible reversal in reducing competition as opposed to enhancing it. There are many other factors to consider as you drill down into the numbers.
From a municipal standpoint, it's important to consider the potential liabilities associated with these types of programs. These risks can be addressed and most often transferred through properly setting up the program. The delivery service providers (utility company), should retain responsibility to provide and delivery the electricity. In addition, proper contractual protections such as hold harmless and indemnification clauses should be utilized to protect your municipality from increased risks.

We didn't even bother reporting the rumors, because this is one bike we all knew would come our way. Ducati always offers a midsized version of its line-leading superbike, and the 1199 Panigale, released in 2012, would be no different. Released on the eve of the IAA International Motor Show in Frankfurt, Germany, the highly anticipated Ducati 899 Panigale is what Ducati is now calling a "Supermid"—a portmanteau of "midsize" and "superbike"—that delivers the thrills of the flagship model but in a slightly more accessible, all-around package.
Indeed, the 899 appears very closely related to its big brother, sharing the same "frameless" monocoque construction that uses the engine as a stressed member to connect a massive airbox/headstock to the subframe. The swingarm—a conventional, two-sided arrangement here, and not a single-sided piece like on the pricier 1199—pivots directly off the transmission, and operates on a link-activated, sidemounted Sachs rear shock.
The 898cc L-twin engine retains the Superquadro designation that denotes radically oversquare engine architecture—a bore and stroke of 100 x 57.2mm, in this instance, or just slightly less radical than the 112 x 60.8mm measurements of the larger, 1198cc engine—to maintain the same quick-revving personality that the original Panigale is revered for. Providing a claimed 148 horsepower at 10,750rpm and 73 pound-feet of torque at 9,000 rpm, the 899 should still be fast enough to warrant the Super prefix, but slightly more driveable in real-world conditions. Speaking of the real world, engine service intervals are a very reasonable 15,000 miles. There goes the old "frequent service" excuse…
This is a Ducati Superbike, so of course there are electronics—lots of them. ride-by-wire throttle activation enables three ride modes—Race, Sport, and Wet—that alter power output and throttle response, engine braking characteristics, traction control, and ABS intervention to suit different riding conditions. (Each of these separate electronic controls is individually tunable within each mode to suit the rider's desires. Traction control offers eight levels of fine adjustment; ABS, three.) Ducati Electronic Suspension adjustment (DES) is not available on the 899 Panigale; the electronic quick shifter is.
By all measures, the 899 Panigale should be a blast to ride. At a claimed 372 pounds wet, it's 2.5 pounds lighter and eight ponies more powerful than the 848 it replaces. The 899 Panigale is indistinguishable from the 1199 version at a glance, save for the swingarm and different color options, which here are traditional Ducati red with black wheels or Arctic White with red wheels. Availability is promised for the end of October, priced at $14,995 in red or $15,295 in white.

The use of virtual instruments is becoming more and more widespread for in-studio sound work but more often it calls upon sampling techniques.
Synthesis through physical instrument models, up to now limited by computer processing capacity, is now beginning to show remarkable acoustic qualities while at the same time creating the possibility of greater flexibility in pitch modification when the issue of control (and therefore of performance) is properly analyzed and interfaced.
IRCAM and the company Arturia have created a partnership in the framework of the RIAM project to develop the BRASS software program (trumpet, trombone, saxophone), which will be presented during this session.
Participants: Frédéric Brun (director/CEO Arturia) | Xavier Rodet (head researcher, Analysis/Synthesis Team).

For employers however, aside from the financial cost of sickness absence, that early morning phone call or apologetic text message signals the inconvenience and disruption of arranging cover. According to the latest Office for National Statistics report an alarming 131 million days were lost due to sickness in 2013.
In a recent PWC study a third of UK workers admitted to lying to avoid work. Should an employee therefore really be surprised if they are dismissed for 'pulling a sickie'?
'No' is the unequivocal answer from the Employment Appel Tribunal in the recent case of Metroline West Ltd v Ajaj.
What happened?
Mr Ajaj was employed as a bus driver who reported slipping on water on the floor of the toilets at his local depot. He subsequently began a period of sickness absence claiming he was not fit to perform his duties as his pain prevented him from moving, he could not run or walk quickly, could not shop and had difficulties with dressing and putting on his shoes.
Metroline became suspicious about the genuineness of the nature and extent of Mr Ajaj's injuries and so placed him under covert surveillance. The surveillance footage led them to believe that Mr Ajaj's abilities were inconsistent with his reporting of his injuries.
Further investigation only sought to heighten these suspicions and Mr Ajaj was subsequently subjected to disciplinary action and dismissed for making a false claim for sick pay, misrepresenting his ability to attend for work and making a false claim for an injury at work. His appeal against dismissal was unsuccessful.
Mr Ajaj brought a claim for unfair dismissal. The Employment Tribunal found that a reasonable employer would have had regard to the specific duties that Mr Ajaj was required to perform in determining his capability for work. Whilst Metroline had had grounds to believe the Claimant had exaggerated the effects of an injury, this was only in respect of his ability to walk, and his role as a driver was one that meant he would be required to sit for long periods. There was clear evidence that he had suffered an injury whatever it severity. Therefore the dismissal was unfair.
Metroline appealed. Overturning the finding of unfair dismissal the EAT concluded there was evidence to suggest Mr Ajaj had misrepresented his abilities and had exaggerated the effect of his injuries. It was therefore perverse for the Tribunal to find that Metroline had not acted reasonably by putting this charge to Mr Ajaj and dismissing him on this basis.
The EAT also took the opportunity to comment that an employee 'pulling a sickie' is representing their inability to attend for work by reason for sickness. If that employee is not sick then this is dishonesty and is a fundamental breach of the trust and confidence at the heart of the employment relationship.
What does this mean for my business?
Whilst the EAT's findings do not break any new ground legally, this Judgment highlights the fact that 'pulling a sickie' is an act of dishonesty that can warrant summary dismissal. It is rare for a decision to state this so emphatically.
The decision is perhaps also timely. As the football season draws to a close, thoughts will soon start to turn towards Wimbledon, Euro 2016, some high profile boxing matches and the Olympics. Whilst all will no doubt bring with them the usual anti-climax of English sporting expectation, it is most likely they will also coincide with some 'runny noses' and '24 hour tummy bugs'.
It may therefore be a good time to think about your policies relating to sick absence reporting and perhaps provide a gentle reminder to your employees about the processes they are expected to follow. This in itself may be enough to deter employees from feigning sickness to make sure they catch that crucial Andy Murray match or penalty shoot-out.
What if I think an employee is 'pulling a sickie'?
One problem is that 'sickies' tend to be for 24/48 hours allowing employees to self certificate their absence. There may not therefore be any actual medical evidence to support their incapacity.
However if you have robust absence reporting and contact procedures in place, together with thorough return to work interviews, you are putting yourself in the best possible place to deter employees and also to pick up on any suspicious behaviour from your employees. Occupational health referrals and, in prolonged or extreme cases, covert surveillance may also be an option you might wish to explore.
If an employee does then go on to take further sickness absence which you suspect may not be genuine, you will have options available to you to progress any necessary investigations and now some clear guidance that such conduct does amount to dishonesty and could amount to gross misconduct.
A 'progressive sick' absence/attendance procedure under which employees receive 'warnings' and may ultimately be dismissed will also have the effect of deterring employees from incurring intermittent short term absences that are not genuine or necessary.
The trick to managing such absences, and minimising staff 'sickies' is to have in place robust policies and processes which are consistently enforced. Crucially, staff must understand both what is expected of them and that falsely claiming to be absent due to sickness may be a disciplinary issue.

"F**k Hamas. F**k Israel. F**k Fatah. F**k UN. F**k UNWRA. F**k USA! We, the youth in Gaza, are so fed up with Israel, Hamas, the occupation, the violations of human rights and the indifference of the international community!" Thus begins the Gaza Youth's Manifesto for Change, as posted on Gaza Youth Breaks Out Facebook page, which over 8,000 Facebook users "like." As the Guardian reports, the document details "the daily humiliations and frustrations that constitute everyday life in the Gaza Strip."
Equal-opportunity dissidents, the members of Gaza Youth Breaks Out are almost as outraged by the heavy hand of Hamas as by Israeli oppression.
We barely survived the Operation Cast Lead. . . . During the last years, Hamas has been doing all they can to control our thoughts, behaviour and aspirations. Here in Gaza we are scared of being incarcerated, interrogated, hit, tortured, bombed, killed. We cannot move as we want, say what we want, do what we want.
Recent months have seen the emergence of another unlikely source of outrage: 93-year-old former French Resistance fighter and Buchenwald survivor Stéphane Hessel. His slim volume -- actually a long essay -- Indignez-vous! (Get indignant!) has spent two months atop French bestseller lists. Another Guardian article reports:
Hessel's book argues that French people should re-embrace the values of the French resistance, which have been lost, which was driven by indignation, and French people need to get outraged again.
Among his personal hot-button issues:
. . . the growing gap between the very rich and the very poor, France's shocking treatment of its illegal immigrants, the need to re-establish a free press, protecting the environment, the plight of Palestinians and the importance of protecting the French welfare system.
It's easy to lament how sad it is that Western public needs to be told to become indignant. But one might look at someone in Hessel's position -- not exactly the French Michael Moore, he once served as his country's ambassador to the United Nations -- as providing the populace with the permission it subconsciously feels it needs to express outrage.
Allow me to qualify that by explaining that the disinclination of 90% of the population to refrain from rebellion does not make them sheep. They may just be hard-wired to support the society and government into which they're born. In his version of the the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, nutritionist and renaissance man Gary Null called them "adaptive-supportives." That's not so bad, is it? (For more, see my January 2010 piece for Scholars & Rogues Is apathy socially redeeming?)
But do Westerners, Americans especially, and not just youth, but adults, need to be reduced to straits as dire as the Palestinians in Gaza before they react as Gaza Youth Speak Out did?

One-time neocon Francis Fukuyama, the celebrated political economist who has since turned his attention to the subject of wealth inequality, wrestles with why Americans endure what we do without fighting back in the January-February issue of the American Interest. Note that, in the passage that follows, when he refers to the left he means moderates such as Obama supporters, not true progressives. Here is, to Fukuyama, the "paramount puzzle."
Why has a significant increase in income inequality in recent decades failed to generate political pressure from the left for redistributional redress, as similar trends did in earlier times? Instead, insofar as there is any populism bubbling from below in America today it comes from the Right, and its target is not just the "undeserving rich"-Wall Street "flip-it" shysters and their ilk-but, even more so, government policies intended to protect Americans from their predations. . . . Within a year of Barack Obama's inauguration, the most energized and angry people on the American political scene were not the homeowners with subprime mortgages who faced foreclosure as a result of the crisis, but rather those who faulted the government for taking steps to protect those homeowners, and to prevent the crisis from deepening. It was a strange phenomenon that saw many of those most deeply injured by the crisis become, in effect, objective allies of those who caused it.
This, then, is the contemporary context in which we raise the question of plutocracy in America: Why, given the economic history of the past thirty years, have we not seen the emergence of a powerful left-wing political movement seeking fairer distribution of growth? [Operative word: powerful. -- RW] . . . How can it be that large numbers of congressional Democrats and arguably the most socially liberal President in American history are now seriously considering extending, and even making permanent, the Bush tax cuts of 2001 and 2003? Is this not prima facie evidence of plutocracy?
In an outstanding article at Huffington Post titled The Poorhouse: Aunt Winnie, Glenn Beck, And The Politics Of The New Deal, Arthur Delaney and Ryan Grim provide a clue. (Emphasis added.)
[President Franklin] Roosevelt came into office a deficit hawk, pushed to balance the budget and cut federal worker pay. He quickly realized his error and turned around. He had the room to maneuver, however, because poverty had become so widespread that it lost its stigma. It could finally be addressed with a level head rather than a wag of the finger.
Before then, however, the nation was just prosperous enough for those with a little to look down upon those with less.
In other words, the United States hasn't been reduced to the circumstances that many lived under during the Depression, nor under which the elderly once routinely lived. Delaney and Grim again.
Though there were no national measurements, in surveys taken between 1925 and 1932 in Connecticut, New York and Wisconsin, nearly half of elderly people lived on less than $25 per month, which survey administrators deemed "insufficient subsistence income." A third in Connecticut had no income at all. An attempt to quantify elderly poverty in 1939, deep into the depression, using census data, found the rate may have been close to 80 percent.
The day that poverty loses its stigma doesn't, of course, mean that it's become acceptable. It's just that it's become pervasive to the point we can no longer indulge in denial that we're about to be overtaken by it too. It's the same with, say, warrantless surveillance. Until the day comes when many of us are actually dragged from our homes and taken into custody, we'll remain in denial that our rights are being systematically abrogated. However tired, the metaphor of the boiling frog demands to be trotted out again: by the time we decide we've had enough, it's too late.

IGAD--the Intergovernmental Authority on Development, constituted by the four Horn of Africa states plus Sudan, South Sudan, Kenya and Uganda--last week issued an important communique on Somali refugees. The Nairobi Declaration on Durable Solutions for Somali Refugees and Reintegration of Returnees in Somalia builds on earlier regional statements and agreements to work collectively toward safe and durable Somali returns and to seek additional funding from the international community to support hosting states.
Nairobi Court Invalidates Kenyan Government's Order to Close Dadaab Refugee Camp
Last year, the Kenyan government announced that it would close Dadaab refugee camp, repatriate Somali refugees, and disband the Department of Refugees. On February 9, 2017, a decision of the High Court in Nairobi invalidated the government's planned course of action. The court held that return of Somali refugees would violate the 1951 Refugee Convention's norm of non-refoulement and constitute discrimination prohibited by the Kenyan Constitution. The failure to consider individual cases under prevailing law was deemed to violate the Kenyan Fair Administrative Action Act. Further, the court held that the government lacked authority to close the Department of Refugees, which would require legislation enacted by the Parliament.

LDS Genealogical Resources at Brigham Young University -- Part One
From time to time, family history researchers who are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints wander into the Brigham Young University Family History Library looking for information about one of their ancestors who joined the Church. Most of the time, they are searching for membership record information or information about ordinances done in the Church's temples. Occasionally, they are looking for information about the ancestor's mission for the Church. on occasion, these patrons are overwhelmingly surprised at the resources available in the Library.
Because of the way that books and other materials are cataloged by major libraries, such as the Harold B. Lee Library, the main library on the Brigham Young University campus, LDS genealogical resources are scattered throughout the library but are concentrated in the BYU Family History Library and the L. Tom Perry Special Collections Library. Both of these sections of the Library are integrated into and located physically in the larger Harold B Lee Library.
Even individuals who attended Brigham Young University are often unaware of the resources available for family history in the Harold B. Lee Library. It is also natural through its association with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that the Library should also contain extensive resources for LDS research and particularly research into LDS families. Surprisingly, however, because of the history of the Church and its worldwide membership and influence, the collections relating to the Church are surprisingly eclectic and contain other information of genealogical and historical interest beyond pedigrees.
In order to understand these resources, it is important to view our family history in its historical context. Historical research involves a vast complex of sources often overlooked by those focusing primarily on genealogical issues. Many family history researchers fail to connect their family history with its overall place in the national and local history of the areas where their ancestors lived. Much of the confusion and inaccuracy of what passes for genealogical research can be traced back to ignorance of this historical context.
Equally important, is the geographic information associated with genealogical research. Another major part of the sometimes obvious mistakes made in family history research is attributable to a lack of awareness of the geographic context of the events in our ancestor's lives.
From my own experience, it is very likely that most family history researchers, even those living in close proximity to a major university, are entirely unaware of the resources available at those universities. This is particularly true of the library's special collections departments. Unless a researcher has become acquainted with the special collections section of their library while attending a university, it is unlikely that they would become aware of the resources of those special collections libraries. Special collections libraries are like huge vacuum cleaners sucking in manuscripts, books, and all other types of records. In some cases, these libraries concentrate on a particular geographic area or subject. But over the years of collecting, a special collections library might have items of general interest unassociated with a particular geographic location.
For example, my great-grandfather lived in a small town in northern Arizona. However, the largest collection of history about my great grandfather and the town where he lived his house in the Special Collections Library at the University of Utah, many hundreds of miles away from the town where my ancestors lived.Yet another important fact about this particular collection is that it would take a diligent search online to even suspect that information about a researcher's ancestor who also lived in the same small town would be part of this rather extensive collection.
For these reasons, it should not be surprising that the L.Tom Perry Special Collections Library might contain valuable information about your own family and your own ancestors. You can start by searching the library catalog using a variety of search terms associated with your family's heritage.
Stay tuned for future posts in this series.
