operating across various domains, including IT and support, prefer ServiceNow over its counterparts owing to the quality, precision and the pace of its services. Over the years, ServiceNow has established its credibility and the reputation of being a trustworthy partner helping the Japanese manage their business in a better and organized manner. However, language, even today, remains a major confrontation for most of the ServiceNow Japanese support users. ServiceNow operates its technical support functions in English, as against the queries or concerns that it receives in Japanese. Therefore, here the issue is that of the difference in the language of operations support, which in the case of ServiceNow is English and that in the client is Japanese.
Need of Japanese Language Support for ServiceNow Clients
Fidel, which has otherwise been an active partner helping customize ServiceNow services, now extends its operational support as an intermediate interface helping both the parties overcome the language barrier through its Japanese support services. It offers prompt, accurate and personalized Japanese support services with the help of some of the best Japanese speaking technology experts.
Fidel adopts an organized and systematic approach towards serving ServiceNow clients. A majority of ServiceNow clients facing language issues belong to the IT and service industry. Therefore, considering the difference that exists in both these domains, and also their varying requirements, Fidel team offers customized solutions to each and every ServiceNow client, thereby ensuring customer satisfaction in every case. Its customized services include PDF printing of all the reports using Phantom-JS, generating various reports, supporting multiple data files while importing the data into ServiceNow tables, connecting different servers, mobilize data and generate analytical business reports, etc.
Hiring Fidel for ServiceNow Bilingual Support in Japan
- Quicker resolution of clients' queries in the Japanese language
- Dealing with experts possessing Japanese language as well as technical expertise, thereby saving the hassles of giving an in-depth explanation of the subject-matter.
- The clients are not required to communicate in English for their concerns with ServiceNow, as it is Fidel that does it on the client's behalf.
- Transacting with an expert team that offers customized services, and identifies and addresses the actual pain areas, in order to resolve them in a prompt and accurate manner, thereby maintaining the highest levels of customer satisfaction.
Considerable cost reduction in hiring and employing bilingual candidates, improved efficiency at the client's end owing to the prompt query resolution, comprehensive security at every stage of interaction and transaction, compliance ensured across all the stages, and many more!
Japanese Language Support for ServiceNow – How it Works with Fidel?
Fidel employs a team of well-trained and customer-centric professionals that possess comprehensive domain as well as language expertise. Before commencing its Japanese support services, Fidel enters into an agreement with ServiceNow clients. Here, the Japanese customers have the leeway of sending their queries and concerns in Japanese, to which, the team at Fidel responds in Japanese either via phone or email, depending on the exigency or the nature of the concern.
Although most of the technical concerns are readily resolved by Fidel, at times, based on the situation and the query raised, a communication with ServiceNow may be required. In such cases, Fidel would fetch the ServiceNow login credentials of the Japanese client and communicate the concern to ServiceNow on the client's behalf. Once the issue is resolved by the ServiceNow support team, which is in English, Fidel would communicate the resolution in Japanese to the client.
Globally, there are several big players offering ServiceNow support services, however, what distinguishes Fidel from them is the Japanese language support that it offers! Offering this as an exclusive service, Fidel intends to help Japanese entrepreneurs overcome the language barrier, and avoid letting it turn into a roadblock for their business.


text: clbent04 343 Report post Posted June 12, 2019 (edited) What is the purpose of praying to God to bless our food? Or more specifically, what are we trying to accomplish by reciting the phrase, "Please bless this food"? Another common version of this is for members to recite the phrase, "Please bless this food to strengthen and nourish our bodies" or "Please bless this food for the strength and nourishment of our bodies." Are we to specifically bless food for the purpose of strengthening and nourishing our bodies? What I don't understand is regardless of if we ask God to bless the food for our nourishment, the food is going to nourish us either way. We pray for nutrient food to nourish us, and it nourishes us. We don't pray for nutrient food to nourish us, and it nourishes us nonetheless. So what is the point of reciting a phrase in prayer that doesn't change the outcome of the food nourishing our bodies? Do we specifically have to say the words "please bless this food" in prayer? Recently I've tried avoiding repeating these words in prayer because I don't understand why I'm saying them. I'd be happy to return to use this specific phrase in prayer if we are in fact instructed to recite it, but I'd probably also need someone to help me understand why we would specifically need to say verbatim "please bless this food" before every meal. It's more meaningful for me to pray before meals with the purpose of acknowledging before my Heavenly Father that all physical and spiritual nourishment comes from Him. I believe this is the true purpose of why we are to pray over our food. It's make more sense to me that we are to pray over our food in gratitude and remembrance of the life God gives us rather than asking Him to "bless the food." Since we depend on food and drink for our daily sustenance, our hunger serves as a needed reminder that all life and good comes from God. Making the connection that we are just as dependent on Heavenly Father for spiritual nourishment as we are with physical nourishment has made my prayers before meals more meaningful.

As we approach the end of June, several new happenings have been occurring in the snus world, including the relesase of a limited edition of Grovsnus by Motorhead. It has recently come to my attention that there has been a few new developments regarding other snus brands which I intend to cover in this post.
First off, the manufacturers of Gringo Snus have released a second version of their loose snus, which they claim is nearly mudslide-free. The new formula will be differentiated from the old one with the marking "NG" before the batch numbers. Northerner has already begun receiving shipments of the new Gringo, so when you place an order you should be receiving an NG can. I haven't tried Gringo yet, but I plan to review it in the near future, so keep checking back!
Secondly, snus manufacturer Gotlandssnus has announced a new limited edition snus brand known as Gotland's Smultron Sommar Snus (Wild Strawberry). As the name implies, this snus should have a slightly sweet taste reminiscent of a form of wild strawberries from Sweden known as a Smultron. I'm a big fan of fruit flavored snuses such as Jakobsson's Flader and Jakobsson's Melon, so I'm excited to give this one a try when it becomes released. Expect a release date close the middle of summer (most likely sometime during July).
Finally, according to the snus blogger Chad Jones of Snubie, a new form of Skruf has been appearing, known as Skruf Slim Stark Select Portion (that's a lot of s'!). Apparently each can comes with 12 full size regular strength slim portions, similar to that of Skruf Slim. The flavor is supposedly quite sweet, and the snus smells like licorice. As a fan of various offerings from Skruf, I'm curious to give this one a try.

The Town Hall (Rathaus) is built on stilts and stands upon a platform above the water of the Limmat. On the same poles was built a medieval town hall in 1252 at the same place. Around 1694 this building was replaced by the current city hall in baroque style. The facade is decorated with all sorts of inscriptions and friezes which represent masks. The most impressive room is the high-baroque chamber. Today, the city council meet in the beautiful rooms and board rooms of this building. Sometimes you are lucky and you can take a look at the high council.

Ennis calls for online gambling review
Sinn Féin MLA Sinead Ennis is calling for a full review of the online gambling industry to prevent companies from targeting vulnerable people.
The South Down MLA was speaking after a Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) announced new online gaming rules following its investigation which found that some platforms were exploiting gamblers through opaque terms and conditions.
"While these moves are welcome there is a need for tighter regulation of the online gambling industry," Sinead Ennis said.
"There is no doubt that some gambling firms are deliberately targeting our poorest and most vulnerable communities and we also know that when people try to opt out of online gambling, companies don't always block their accounts as they should.
"That is why we need a full review of the industry practices and an awareness programme put in place.
"My message to gambling firms today is clear: stop targeting vulnerable young people. Start acting properly. And meet your obligation to help those whose lives have been blighted by addiction.
"I would also urge anyone who feels they have a problem or could develop a problem to seek help."

well it's another year
and what of it?
I've spent the last couple months doing a lot of things, and one of them has been debating what to do with this site
and the conclusion is: just leave it the fuck alone..
it's tempting almost to crank it back up for another year, but I don't want just another year. it would have to be bigger and better than last year. and that would require money. I almost emailed a couple of places (the cook and PB technology) about sponsorshop, in fact I did email the cook but I must have put the wrong address in as it bounced back and my motivation was scarred..
(it also doesn't help that wordpress is fucking out on me all the time. you just can't get good shit for free no-more)
and so without money I can't find a way to encourage more content and my mind has run out of wit and so while I'm not going to shut this down, don't expect any kind of regular update or anything ever again.. unless for some reason there is massive public outcry but it's unlikely seeing as I don't think this site was really all that popular anyway
of course if other people want to contribute they can, if someone wants to take over I might even hand over the reigns if they seem worthy enough.. but these things are unlikely and I'm only putting them here to make it seem like there is a possibility something else may ever be posted here

How we try before we fly
From the early days at Global Eagle, we knew it was critical to put our inflight broadband technology through its paces in the air. So we brought one of our most valuable assets on board: Albatross One. Since its first flight in 2008, Albatross One has flown throughout North America as part of our rigorous test program.
The Albatross One story
The Albatross One is a 1951 Grumman HU16B Albatross, a twin-radial engine amphibious flying boat built for open ocean landings. Our Albatross One, which is one of only 466 constructed, was delivered in January 1952 to MacDill Air Force Base, where it was used by the 33rd Air Rescue Squadron over the Pacific Ocean for search and rescue missions.
Inflight training ground
NASA then used our particular plane as part of the training program for Space Shuttle astronauts. During training, the astronauts signed one of the cabin walls as a sign-off for a mission accomplished. We have taken special care not to meddle with the special bits of our plane's history, while completely redesigning the roomy interior to make it more passenger-friendly. Today, Albatross One is equipped with our third-generation system, which includes high definition live television, high-speed broadband and streaming video-on-demand.
Putting our technology through its paces
Albatross One has proven invaluable in testing new and improved inflight technologies before we bring them to market. A unique benefit of using the Grumman Albatross is that it exhibits intense vibrations that normal aircraft do not experience, thereby simulating a "worst case" scenario that ensures that we can provide our airline partners with a highly dependable system. We have also found that a constant program of test flying is vital in helping us maintain a stellar inflight entertainment service for our customers.

It doesn't get any easier than this, and healthy too!
- 4-6 ripe Avocados
- Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Sea Salt (or add more if your taste desires)
- 1 tsp Cracked Pepper (or add to taste)
- 1 Tbsp Cilantro, chopped
- Tomatoes, chopped
- Lime, 1 small squeeze for taste
Mash all together and serve with chips, veggies or carnitas! (Check out the Carnitas recipe!)
Note: If you have left overs, place Guac in a container with one of the avocado pits – believe it or not, the pit will keep guacamole greener (naturally turns brown quickly).

"Demeter's Grief"
---Zann Carter
Every mother who loses a beloved child
knows the call to wander the land
in demented searching,
to become an old woman overnight
dragging the raveling threads of her old life,
knows the urge to vanish in disguise,
knows the withering loss
visible on bare hilltops, all color leached
from the dry, cracked earth,
knows the urge to make another's child
"Shabbatai Tzvi, at Dulcigno"
---Mike Miller
I tarry in the morning
and I tarry afternoon
I tarry on the Sabbath day
and every monthly moon
I tarry, tarry, tarry
to a terrible degree
and it's scary, though I tarry,

"Ancient Egyptian Skin Care"
---Bill Wolak
Ancient Egyptian women protected their skin
from the damaging effects of the sun whenever possible
with fragrant oils, perfumed unguents, soothing massages,
mud facials, and frequent spice and mineral baths.
And they experimented with many exotic remedies to cleanse
their pores, soften the luminous texture of their exquisitely
depilated bodies, and tone and tighten the muscles
of neck, jaw, brow, and belly. The most rejuvenating treatment
recommended unanimously by all physicians up and down the Nile
for silkening the skin the preserving a youthful complexion
was also the most expensive--soaking in a tub full of fresh semen.

About Me
"My" Philosophy: I fell in love with black and white pictures when I was twelve and started my first darkroom at thirteen. I have been enticed to shoot in color occasionally and even digital but my favorite medium is black and white film and mostly 35-mm. Now I choose to shoot only black and white film for portraits. You wont see any smiling faces in my portraits. When I see Rembrandt or Van Gogh paint smiley faces, I then may attempt it. My melancholy demeanor is certainly present in my moving images. If you don't like it, find someone else. My style is my style and that's the way its going to stay...I would rather drive a truck than compromise my art. :)

Mumps is a disease that attacks the saliva glands, causing swelling to the side of the face below the ears. Fever and pain are associated with it. It is also quite contagious.
A visit to the doctor is most advisable. In the case of male adults, the disease could spread quickly down to the testes and cause infertility.
In the old days, the Chinese folks – not sure about other communities – called the disease Zhu Tou Pi or Pig Head Skin. They believed that sending a "tiger" in would eat up the rogue pig. Hence, they would use a brush dipped in blue ink and write the Chinese character for "Tiger" on the affected area. But I have also seen in other cases, where a patch of blue – presumably laundry blue – was painted over the swollen area.
No need for Tiger Beer !

Residents of Western Washington have struggled to keep up with surging housing prices for the past several years, gaining statewide attention and much speculation of the issues at play – including a shortage of housing. As housing prices have risen, many residents have looked to renting, causing the vacancy rate to drop, but the need for rental units to increase.
While renters make up more than half of the Bellingham population, there remain little options for them with meager conditions and high prices. Meanwhile, wage growth for residents countywide fails to keep pace, forcing renters to accept what little options they have at a competitive price.
According to the online real estate marketplace, Zillow, the average rent in Bellingham was $1,549 in May 2017, an increase of 6.8 percent since 2016.
This competition for rentals coincides with the lack of units and low vacancy rate that continues to drop.
A few of the adverse effects include young adults being forced to move back home, tenants who have previously lived alone having to seek out roommates, and pet owners having to find new homes for their pets under tighter pet restrictions.
For the even less fortunate who make minimum wage or rely on government housing vouchers, homelessness is the only option.
Bellingham City Council is looking for solutions and will be considering legislation to address the pressing issue of "income discrimination" that has arisen alongside the local crisis.
Another solution proposed includes extending the notices for eviction and rent increases, and restrictions on tenant discrimination based on criminal history, income status, or pet ownership.
More housing is also in the works – through June, permits have been issued for 274 multifamily units, 4 duplexes, and 113 single-family homes.
In the meantime, residents continue to show their frustration and desire for change by rallying groups for support.

If none of Mitt Romney's accounts were in offshore tax havens, would the presumptive Republican presidential nominee be less competent to handle foreign affairs? If he didn't have an IRA that could be worth as much as $102 million (perhaps, according to the Wall Street Journal, because of the unusual and aggressive way Bain Capital structured its employees' personal investments in its deals) would he be less able to deal with retirement policy, Social Security and Medicare?If Romney had decided that his wife's money losing partial ownership of Rafalka, a horse competing in the London Olympics, was really just part of a wonderful, healthful hobby, and one they could well afford to fund without trying to cut their tax bill, would that make him less qualified to be President?
Bizarre questions? Maybe not. According to the transcript of an interview ABC News' David Muir conducted with Romney in Jerusalem Sunday, the following exchange took place (emphasis in bold, added by me):
Muir: So from what you have released and from what we have seen we know that there was one year when you paid about 13.9% tax rate. Can we clear this up by asking a simple yes or no question? Was there ever any year when you paid lower than 13.9%?
Romney: I haven't calculated that. I'm happy to go back and look but my view is I've paid all the taxes required by law. From time to time I've been audited as happens I think to other citizens as well and the accounting firm which prepares my taxes has done a very thorough and complete job pay(ing) taxes as legally due. I don't pay more than are legally due and frankly if I had paid more than are legally due I don't think I'd be qualified to become president. I'd think people would want me to follow the law and pay only what the tax code requires.
I've been thinking a lot about that interview. Unless Romney was joking (and you can watch the video below and decide for yourself ) it suggests he is either ignorant of the practical functioning (and malfunctioning) of our tax system; hopes the American public is ignorant of it; or has bought into an aggressive approach to tax-compliance that contributes to the tax mess.
If you're a simple wage-earner, as most of us are, there's generally one correct answer about how much you owe in federal income tax. You might take advantage of more tax breaks than your neighbor--for example, electing to make bigger contributions to a pre-tax 401(k). But there's not a lot of wiggle room in calculating what you owe. Unless you've entered the numbers incorrectly (or are confused about some issue the way Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said he was) , Intuit's TurboTax should give you the same answer as H&R Block's AtHome and it should be pretty much the same as what the IRS would calculate.
But when you are as wealthy as Romney, with as many business interests as he has, there are lots of judgment calls that get made involving how your investments are structured and reported---judgments that can increase or decrease a tax bill. What "the tax code requires" and what's allowed can be debatable. It is up to a taxpayer (in consultation with his tax pro) to decide how aggressive he wants to be and how many of the grey issues he decides in his own favor---or, to put it another way, in honor of Romney's Jerusalem journey, just how strictly kosher he wants to keep his return. Glatt kosher? Or just no shellfish and pork? Or maybe some standard in between.
In one of the arguably two most famous quotes about taxes from a federal Judge, Second Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Learned Hand wrote in Helvering V. Gregory in 1934: "Any one may so arrange his affairs that his taxes shall be as low as possible; he is not bound to choose that pattern which will best pay the Treasury; there is not even a patriotic duty to increase one's taxes."
But Hand didn't suggest that there is a patriotic duty to structure every transaction, onshore and offshore, to minimize taxes. In fact, he ruled against the taxpayer in that case, finding that the tax-saving transaction at issue (a reorganization) had no business purpose other than saving taxes and was a sham. The Supreme Court affirmed his ruling, creating the doctrines of business purpose and economic substance, which can involve some highly complicated, contentious and fact specific analysis.
Lets be clear here. Despite all the speculation, no one has produced evidence that any of Romney's tax-saving strategies broke the law or could be thrown out as shams. "The fact that our tax system permits this type of aberrant manipulation is the greater issue,'' opines Claudia Hill, an Enrolled Agent who owns Tax Mam, Inc., in Cupertino, CA and is editor-in-chief of CCH's Journal of Tax Practice & Procedure as well as a contributor to IRS Watch.
So what does the Romneys' horse have to do with this? As I explained in a post here, on their 203-page joint 1040 for 2010, Williard M. & Ann D. Romney reported a $77,731 passive activity loss from Rob Rom Enterprises LLC, which owns Rafalca, the horse that equestrian Jan Ebeling is riding for the U.S. in the "dressage" competition of the London Olympics. The Romneys only got to use $50 of those losses in 2010 due to special rules for claiming passive activity losses under Section 469 of the U.S. Tax Code— added as part of the 1986 tax reform to try to limit tax shelters. But they should eventually get the benefit of all those losses. That is despite the fact taxpayers are not permitted to claim losses from hobbies (meaning, activities in which they don't really expect to earn a profit) on their tax returns.
Again, I'm not suggesting the Romneys did anything wrong with Rob Rom, only that other folks might not have structured their involvement with horses in such a tax-saving fashion. And not just because of ignorance. They might have concluded, for example, that they weren't really in it to make a profit and should just treat it as a hobby; Ann Romney has, after all, described her involvement in dressage as something that has helped control her multiple sclerosis symptoms. Other taxpayers might decide, in other words, to leave some potential (but debatable) tax savings on the table.
To be fair, Forbes contributor and CPA Peter J. Reilly points out that a lot of the decisions that show up on the Romneys' returns are made at the partnership level. As Reilly put it in an email: "I don't think the horse loss was a judgment call on Romney's return. The judgment on the hobby issue is made at the partnership level. In order to not report it without screwing up other computations , you would need to attach Form 8082 notice of inconsistent treatment, which in effect would be ratting your partners out." As I said, rich folks' taxes are complicated.
Yet Reilly is bothered by the attitude toward tax-paying Romney expressed in that interview. He describes it as "problematic, but universal in certain business circles." It's also, he notes, an attitude Congress and the Internal Revenue Service have sought to change with new penalties for tax preparers who take positions that aren't sufficiently supported in the law. (IRS agents now consider levying such penalties during their audits of the rich.) As Reilly puts it: "We (tax pros) used to have an attitude that if you got a no-change audit it meant that you hadn't been aggressive enough. The new penalty regime has chastened that a bit."
My take on this after decades of writing about tax planning, legitimate tax shelters, over-the-line tax shelters and out and out tax cheating, is this: The attitude in some sophisticated circles that folks are chumps (or even negligent) if they don't structure their affairs to exploit every possible provision of the tax code in ways Congress intended (and didn't) creates a climate that allows abusive tax shelters to flourish and undermines the functioning of the tax code (which, granted, is plenty dysfunctional on its own.)
Attitudes--and attitudes at the top--matter. Multiple members of the Forbes 400, including Texas banker Andrew Beal, Broadcom founder Henry T. Nicholas III, and new Jacksonville Jaguars owners Shahid Khan are now in court fighting the IRS over their use of allegedly abusive shelters. Moreover, as Romney would say, corporations are people. It's no coincidence that some of the nation's most respected corporations, including Marriott International (on whose audit committee Romney served), GE and Wells-Fargo, have recently been found by judges to have used illegitimate tax shelters.
Which brings us to the second of the two most famous judicial quotes about taxes –this one found in a 1927 dissent by Supreme Court Associate Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. and inscribed, in slightly variant form, above the IRS headquarters: "Taxes are what we pay for civilized society."

Mobile platform development need to record (Continued)

Commissioned by the Whitney Museum of American Art, "Untitled Landscape #5" investigates the disruption of technologies by both human activity and natural phenomena.
Full Description
An internet-based work commissioned by the Whitney Museum of American Art to inaugurate its new website in 2009 and to kick-start a new series of internet artworks titled Sunrise and Sunset, curated by Christiane Paul. "Untitled Landscape #5" investigates the disruption of technologies by human activity and natural phenomena. From November 2009 through March 2010, at sunrise and at sunset, flickering orbs of moving light "interrupted" the experience of users browsing the Museum's website, their size and speed determined by the number of online visitors. Higher visitation resulted in larger, slower-moving orbs representing, in effect, the "environmental impact" of visitors to this online "landscape." To see other works in the Sunrise/Sunset Series, visit http://whitney.org/Sunset.

USDA Guidelines Remind Us to Eat Well!
If you've been watching the headlines, you've probably noticed that today, the United States Department of Agriculture made a big announcement. That big announcement was the 7th edition of the USDA guidelines for healthy eating and to all of us, it's an important reminder to stay healthy.
Since 1980, the USDA has been providing us with tips on how to best nourish our bodies. This year is no exception. While many of us know that we should drink more water, eat fewer fats, cut back on the sugar, and avoid processed foods, it's always a good reminder to know what exactly we can do TODAY to start eating right. Remember – our bodies are fueled by our diet choices and we have to give our bodies the best fuel possible in order to be healthy.
Want to start eating better? Here are some concrete tips from the USDA dietary guidelines released today:
- Make half your plate fruits and vegetables at meal times.
- Switch to fat-free or low-fat milk.
- Avoid oversized portions.
- Compare sodium in foods like soup, bread, and frozen meals and choose the foods with lower numbers.
- Drink water instead of sugary drinks.
- Avoid high sodium, added sugars, refined grains, and saturated and trans fats.
Now these are just a few things that you can start doing TODAY to make your diet better. Remember that New Year's resolution you made to get healthy? Now is the time to make sure that you're sticking with it – even if it's just one meal at a time.

National Aerospace University "Kharkiv Aviation Institute"
National Aerospace University "Kharkiv Aviation Institute"
National Aerospace University "Kharkiv Aviation Institute" (KhAI) was founded in 1930. It is one of the leading universities of Ukraine to train specialists for design and production of aviation and space technology.
In KhAI such research projects in the following fields are conducted:
- research in the field of subsonic and supersonic aerodynamics ;
- testing new models of aircraft with dynamically similar flying models;
- comprehensive studies of fatigue and endurance of aircraft structures;
- the development of unmanned aerial vehicles for surveillance, mapping and other purposes;
- technology and equipment for high-speed forming (explosion stamping, electro-stamping, pulse blanks cutting, pulse chips bricketing, etc.);
- welding of dissimilar non-ferrous metals;
- coating technology with special properties (ion-plasma, gas-jet, gas detonation, etc.);
- the design of composite structures;
- the development of medical diagnostic and information computer systems;
- development of highly efficient aircraft engines;
- system design technology;
- design and development of unconventional energy systems (using solar panels, wind energy, etc.);
- remote sounding of the surface from the aerospace vehicles;
- development of aircraft management and control systems;
- development of equipment on an air cushion, etc.
Interesting facts that will persuade you to study in Ukraine KhAI:
In HAI four vintage aircraft were recreated "from scratch". The first aircraft was M-9 for "Takeoff" movie about youth of Sergei Korolev. Now it is disassembled in HAI . The second was the "Nieuport-4" for "Joker" movie, which now hangs in Moscow night club of Anton Tabakov. (Both films were shot at the Odessa Film Studio). A third plane was Po-2 (2005-2008). Fourth, in 2010, was "Farman-4" with Mazda engine.
The University is a co-executor of the Alpha International Space Program, as well as research projects together with U.S., Japanese, German, Mexican, Dutch, and Chinese companies.
Until the 1970s, on the territory of the Institute there was the airfield of KhAI, one of the six military airfields in Kharkiv. At the moment, it is partly built up, for several decades it cannot be used.
The "freebie" monument is erected on campus.
If you imagine your future in aviation and aerospace fieds, admission to Ukraine KhAI is for you! Apply now!

By Scott Malone
BOSTON (Reuters) – Seawater on Friday flowed onto some coastal streets around Boston, where businesses set up flood barriers and piled sandbags around their doors as a powerful storm threatened to flood pockets of the U.S. coast from Maine to Virginia.
Over 700,000 homes and businesses were without power in the U.S. Northeast, hundreds of flights were canceled at New York's three major airports and Boston's Logan International, and the federal government closed offices in Washington.
It was the second time this year that Boston streets, including areas around the Long Wharf and the rapidly developing Seaport District, flooded in a winter storm.
"It's crazy. I guess this is sea-level rise in action," said Bob Flynn, 38, who had stepped out from his work at Boston's Children's Museum to survey a partially submerged walkway along the city's Fort Point Channel.
Heavy rains, extreme high tides and a wind-driven storm surge could combine to cause several feet of water to flow onto streets in coastal Massachusetts, with government and private weather forecasters warning of a repeat of an early-January storm that drove a couple of feet of icy seawater onto Boston's streets. High winds gusting up to 60 miles per hour (97 kph) could also bring extensive power outages.
"The winds are going to keep on increasing and the seas are going to go higher and higher for the next three high tide cycles," said Bill Simpson, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Taunton, Massachusetts. Floodwater surged in during high tide around 11 a.m. ET (1600 GMT), and forecasters warned that strong winds coming in off the ocean could keep levels high through the next two high tides.
Residents of coastal areas that regularly flood in storms, including the towns of Newburyport, Duxbury and Scituate had been encouraged to evacuate their homes and head to higher ground, said Chris Besse, a spokesman for the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency.
He added that it is hard to predict where the storm will take its heaviest toll.
"It could be that the first high tide washes away dunes from one beach and the second washes away houses," Besse said.
Sarah Moran, a 59-year-old mother of six, was fretting whether her family's oceanfront home in Scituate, Massachusetts, south of Boston, would survive the storm.
"Every house south of mine has been washed away since the 1978 blizzard. That risk is part of the package – the house comes complete with ocean views, taxes, maintenance and risks," she said in a phone interview from Burlington, Vermont, where she owns a catering business.
The National Weather Service had coastal flood watches and warnings in place from southern Maine through coastal Virginia, including New York's eastern suburbs, and was also tracking a snowstorm heading east from the Ohio Valley that could drop significant amounts of snow in northern New York State. It forecast storm surges of up to 4 feet (1.2 meters) for eastern Massachusetts.
More than 700,000 homes and businesses were without power across the region, with the largest number of outages in New York, utilities said.
Federal offices closed on Friday in Washington, while dozens of schools throughout the region canceled classes. More than a quarter of flights into and out of New York's three major airports and Boston's airport were canceled, according to tracking service Flightaware.com.
Southern California was also facing weather dangers, with risks of rain-driven mudslides prompting mandatory evacuations ordered for some 30,000 people living near fire-scarred hills around the Santa Barbara coast.

The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion
| Hate for hate's sake
|Perpetuating prejudice
|Hate mongers
The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion is a fabricated booklet written by Mathieu Golovinski, a French-Russian Okhrana operative. It purports to detail the agenda for a Jewish conspiracy to take over the world, including how to control the media, the banks, and the government. The Protocols have been the basis for innumerable anti-Semitic tracts throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, most notably Henry Ford's The International Jew and Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf. The Nazis heavily promoted the booklet to justify oppression of the Jews and the Holocaust, and paradoxically acted much like the Jews depicted in Protocols in plotting and enacting the exploitation and abuse of nearly anyone not a German in good standing -- except with even more brutality.
Despite being shown to be a hoax as far back as 1921,[1][2] it is still distributed and believed by people who swallow whatever fiction fits with their racist views.[3] In addition to its exposure as a fabrication (by journalist Philip Perceval Graves of The Times) in 1921, a pamphlet containing three essays by Lucien Wolf called The Myth of the Jewish Menace in World Affairs debunking the Protocols was released in the same year.[4] A Swiss judge ruled the pamphlet to be a forgery in a 1935 decision in a case known as the Berne trial.[5]
The origin of the Protocols may trace back to the time of the French Revolution; in 1797, a French Jesuit, Abbé Barruel (Augustin Barruel), published a treatise blaming the Revolution on a Masonic conspiracy. He was influenced in this by an anti-Masonic mathematician. Barruel did not himself blame the Jews. However, in 1806, Barruel circulated a forged letter, probably sent to him by anti-Semitic members of the state police, claiming a Jewish role in the supposed conspiracy.[6]
The main text of the Protocols was put together by Golovinski in 1897 at the request of Piotr Rakhkovsky, head of the Okhrana's French section. Rakhkovsky, jealous of Sergei Witte,[7] a (relatively) liberal policymaker who had the Emperor's ear, wanted to gain Nicholas II's attention by somehow proving that liberalism and modernism were Jewish plots. After hitting on the idea of writing a fake "transcript" of the events at the 1897 First Zionist Congress at Basel, he contacted Golovinski, then living in exile in Paris, and asked him to write this "transcript".
The document was shown to the Emperor by Sergius Nilus,[8] a Rasputin-type "mystic" (self-proclaimed). The document formed a section of his magnum opus, a fantastically insane work titled The Great Within the Small and Antichrist, an Imminent Political Possibility. Notes of an Orthodox Believer. The Emperor swallowed the manuscript, Witte fell out of favour (he resigned as Prime Minister of Russia in 1906), and the rest is history.
N.B: Golovinski lifted much of the material for the Protocols from Dialogue in Hell Between Machiavelli and Montesquieu, a French satirical pamphlet, written by Maurice Joly in 1864. This work satirized and protested against Napoleon III (Louis Napoleon) and his regime, and had no racial or religious theme. Joly's Dialogue itself may have plagiarized an even earlier work attacking the Jesuits. The plagiarism, as well as historical background on the Protocols and its influence, is described in detail in Will Eisner's graphic novel The Plot: The Secret Story of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.
Current use[edit]
Anti-Semitic groups have been pushing the book, and it is still in print, even promoted by such conspiracy-minded folks as Texe Marrs,[9] and (until his imprisonment) Kent Hovind.[10]
On his album Extremist Won, Carl Klang, self-described as "America's #1 Patriotic Singer", recorded the song "The News Behind the News" which deals with the Protocols, calling them "the blueprint to the downfall of our nation".[note 1]
David "Thelizardsdidit" Icke (described as a "fucking loon" by Cracked)[11] "declared that the Protocols of Zion is evidence not of a Jewish plot, but of a reptilian plot of Illuminati lizards", according to Jon Ronson, writing in The Grauniad.[12]
The Protocols are also regularly used as evidence of a Jewish conspiracy in the Islamic world: Hamas, for example, cites the text in its charter.[13]
It has three and a half out of five stars on Amazon,[14] which
all most sane people would regard as 3.5 stars too many.[note 2]

These contractors are perhaps more important to you if you happen to be running a business of your own, doesn't matter what kind. Whether it's retail, wholesale, processing or manufacturing; burst pipes, lights or power going out, the roof collapsing, any one of these could lead to considerable periods of downtime. And the longer you are timed out, the more money you are losing. The roofing contractor colchester callout, at its scheduled appointments, takes care of broken tiles.
The plumbing contractor callout saves you from the next big flood. It never needs to happen. And the electrical contractor can help save you from shocks in more ways than one. Speaking of savings, today's HVAC contractor is also one for the books. Allow him to introduce you to new technologies that will be a lot more impressive in heating, cooling and keeping things fresh and clean indoors. And then there is the new energy bill.
If indeed you will be receiving one at all. Because what if you have added a solar power contractor to your books as well? The solar power contractor should be cooperating nicely with the roofing contractor these days. And it's a blessing in discuss for the home or business owner as well. Because by the time the new solar panels have arrived, a full-on roofing inspection would need to be conducted before any of the solar panels can be installed.
And needless to say, if any loose or cracked roofing tiles are detected, these must be repaired or replaced first and foremost. If you use him often enough, the roofing contractor can be a lifesaver as well. Aside of the fact that there'll be no more floods, lights never going out, you'll always have a roof over your head.

Congratulations to Inday Sita, a bosom friend some twenty-three years ago, on being crowned as Pacific Queen 2014 at the Pacific Mall in Mandaue City on June 21, 2014.
Inday Sita made history by being the first-ever winner in what we hope to be an annual pageant for Cebu's most exceptional transgenders. During the nerve-racking Q&A challenge faced by the top three finalists, host Jix Javate asked each for her comment on what some religious people are saying that "gays cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven."
I was greatly impressed with Inday Sita's direct-to-the-point answer: "It's not a matter of whether you are straight or gay, or whichever sexual preference or sexual orientation you have, for as long as you are happy and peaceful and you know that, in one way or another, you contributed to the happiness of others and did your share in spreading peace, then you can definitely enter Heaven. What matters is that you have faith in God and you are trying to live your life to the fullest according to His will, then you are welcome in Heaven."
But who would've thought that what was my very handsome buddy named Allen Sian during my first semester at the University of San Carlos had metamorphosed into what I almost mistook for Miss Universe 2013 Gabriela Isler as I peeped in the dressing room. That was the first time, after more than twenty years, we talked to each other again, since the day I heard that he already lived in Japan—and I dropped out of USC, became an OSY (out-of-school-youth) for eight years, followed my dream to study Journalism in UV (University of the Visayas), forayed into beauty culture, yadda yadda yadda. An avid follower of the annual Queen of Cebu pageant for alternatives, it was only one year later, in 2012, when I learned that the previous year's Miss Japan and second runner-up who brought the house down with her self-introductory spiel was he, Allen Sian.
To cut the story short, we touched base on Facebook and sometimes via SMS, and even bumped into each other and had our photos taken together at Queen—but because everyone's usually busy rubbing elbows onstage, we never got a chance to catch up. . . . So to my long-lost friend Inday Sita, thanks for staying amiable and down-to-earth. You have no idea how happy I am to have hugged you again and how proud I am of you for what you are, a beautiful person inside and out.

Governor Rauner signed into law SB 92228, which makes possession of less than 10 grams of marijuana a fine only offense, and sets a new legal limit for operating under the influence of cannabis, replacing a zero tolerance standard and replacing it with a new "legal limit" of 5 nanograms of THC per mililiter of whole blood (or 10 nanograms in saliva or other bodily substance).
Not affected by this change is the previous law that also made it a DUI offense to drive or be in actual physical control of a motor vehicle while under the influence of cannabis.
The fine for marijuana possession under 10 grams will be a minimum of $100 and a maximum of $200. Anyone cited for possession of marijuana paraphernalia at the same time will only be subject to a fine in a similar amount.
Since possession of marijuana under 10 grams is now a civil violation instead of a criminal offense, the legislature was able to ease the prosecution's burden of proof. A crime lab testing showing that the substance was tested and proven to be marijuana is no longer required; the prosecution can establish its case either through opinion testimony by the arresting officer (with the proper foundation) or use of a properly conducted field test.
Under the new law, anyone fined for possession of marijuana in an amount less than 10 grams will have their citation automatically expunged, if they have paid their fine and completed their sentence. The Clerk is to expunge these cases twice a year, on or before January 1 and July 1.

This idea is in its infancy. But what boggles my mind is that many people, including those working in the field and fans standing by the sidelines, have actually made up their minds about it. And many of these people may have access to additional information, specimens, or people that can give them a more accurate read on the situation. But the rest of us can't. In a case like this, the primarily literature itself must make the case. Word of mouth is not enough. I'm happy to see that SVP 2010 will feature a surprising number of talks regarding Toroceratops because the idea will be further explored. This needs to happen--it's how science works. I've spoken with more than a few people who have told me that Toroceratops is most likely correct based on things they've seen, specimens they've worked on, or people they've talked to. I've heard the opposite from other people. That's all heresay. It's not public record until it appears in a scientific publication.
I can't assess that information. All I can assess is what's been published. That's all anyone can assess. Inside information is inside baseball, and it's not something we can all see.
An example of how science should work can be seen with Balaur bondoc. The paper was just published, and the authors suggest that this strange dromaeosaur was a bizarre predator that attacked its prey with four sickle claws and a nonfunctional hand. Well, Andrea Cau has written several posts on his blog, Theropoda, about the interesting idea that Balaur used all four toes to support a bulky belly like a therizinosaur. Nobody's coming firmly down on either side--this is an idea in its infancy, and all possibilities should be explored. Andrea has not been attacked for suggesting that the authors are incorrect or that there might be another explaination. Maybe somebody out there has a third specimen of Balaur that's more complete that can prove one or the other, but it hasn't been published yet, so it's not assessable. This is the opposite of what's happening with Toroceratops.

3 Helpful Hints For Choosing The Local Window Installation Company
Do you want windows replaced or installed? If so, then you'll need to make time to locate the best window installation company in your area. Deciding on the wrong company might cost a ton of money. There are numerous stuff that will go wrong when a window is not really properly installed. Here are a few helpful hints for avoiding disaster and finding the right possible window installation company.
1. Stay Away From The "Jack Of All Trades"
It's understandable that companies need to make as much money as possible. Due to this, they generally branch out and can include a number of different services. Unfortunately for that customers, this can lead to not enough focus. A company that spreads itself too thin will never really specialize within a area, which implies they may never really be the better.
With regards to window installation, you wish to choose a company that focuses entirely on windows. They will often remove, replace, install, and look after windows, but it isn't going to be the same company that does your landscaping or fixes the rooftop. You need to employ a company which is installing windows each day and consequently has a bunch of knowledge about windows.
2. Learn About Their Window Quality
It's simple to get so focused entirely on the organization along with its workers which you ignore the windows themselves. Not all the windows are created equal and never all installation companies use the same suppliers. There's no sense in being the very best installation company if you're planning to install sub-par windows to your clients.
A good way to ensure the standard of the windows is to find out if they are CSA certified. The CSA Group certifies items that meet an incredibly high level of safety and quality. Doors and windows are two items that are normally certified by the CSA Group. If the installer doesn't use CSA certified windows, then they simply aren't making use of the best product available.
3. Even More Certifications
Certifications for windows are great and are therefore certifications for individuals and businesses. The CSA Group doesn't certify businesses or contractors, but there are numerous services that. Several different certifications to search for are the American Window and Door Institute (ASDI) certification along with the Window Wise certification.
What happens if the company has certifications from the different organization? It will be under your control to examine that organization and determine if their standard of quality is high enough. There are a few organizations which simply offer certifications for a fee and they ought not to be taken seriously. Look for organizations who have strict standards and regularly require retesting.
Don't Forget To Question Around
Finally, don't forget to inquire about friends, loved ones, and co-workers in case they have experience with any local window installation companies. Odds are, somebody you are aware has been doing business with one. They are able to either give a recommendation or let you know which companies are better to avoid. But remember to keep the above mentioned hints under consideration even if considering a recommendation coming from a trusted friend.

I'll ponder it. Actually, 1. is what happens, which seems like the easier thing. The folder does exist locally (ie, on the host), but it is shared with the virtualmachine, so it can be edited in either place. The sharing is either done through a a special mechanism provided by the virtualmachine (ie, in virtualbox, "shared folders"), or with plain old NFS (the latter is faster, for unknown reasons). My normal workflow is to have an editor open that edits the files on the "host". Then with a ssh connection to the "client" (the virtualmachine), I build and/or run ghci through that. I'm not sure if this is how other people do work with virtualmachines, but I would imagine it was relatively common. I'd be pretty excited about that working. As an added benefit, the same strategy could be used to jump into a project on an actually remote host.

How to Make Your Research Proposal Abstract Rock
A proposal abstract for your research proposal is designed to present an idea of what you will write your research project on. It gives a summary of the project when it has already been complete.
You will need to remember that when you are creating a research proposal abstract, also known as a prospectus, you will have to present your research project to an academic committee or supervisor.
Therefore, it will be vital that you are able to convince them that the project is worth researching. You have to make sure that it rocks, so that you can move on to actually writing the paper instead of spending half of your allotted time for the whole project just trying to get this approval.

Over the past few months, I've been spreading the word about the Features module in Drupal 8, which became available in April. If you missed my talks at DrupalCon LA, NYC Camp, or Drupal GovCon, you have another chance to learn about how Features works in Drupal 8. On July 29, I joined Brian Lewis of the Modules Unraveled podcast to discuss the role of Features in Drupal 8. Listen to the recording here.
Below you'll find some of the topics we'll cover in the podcast.
Features vs. CMI in Drupal 8
Many people might be wondering why Features is even necessary, given the Configuration Management Initiative (CMI) built into Drupal 8 core. CMI cleanly and consistently separates "content" (articles, blogs, etc) from "configuration" (views, content types, fields, etc). CMI also provides mechanisms for deploying configuration between sites, including development, test, and production environments.
Drupal 7 didn't have CMI, and because the Features module could export and import configuration data as code modules, Features was often used for configuration management and deployment. But Features wasn't designed to be a full configuration management system. Features was initially written to "bundle reusable functionality." In Drupal 8, the module is able to return to this original purpose, allowing you to pick and choose what configuration data you want to add to your custom module in a simplified process.
Features is Awesome for Developers
For developers, Features provides functionality to help with the many challenges of configuration that existed in earlier version of Drupal. When the Features module is active, it allows you to enable a module that contains configuration already on your site. Once a module is enabled, Features allows you to Import changes from that module into your site without needing to first uninstall the module. This prevents the situation of having a module that cannot be re-enabled, or a module that cannot be uninstalled because of dependencies and makes it much easier to update the configuration stored in the module during development.
In Drupal 8, you only need to install the Features module in your development environment. Once you have updated your feature module and imported the configuration changes into your dev environment, you then use normal Drupal 8 CMI to deploy configuration to staging and production. If you still want to keep the Features module enabled on staging or production for doing config imports, you can disable the Features UI submodule and only use the drush interface. The goal was the remove the dependency on the Features module. When you create a module using Features D8, the module will work on any other D8 site even without Features being installed!
Why I'm Excited for Drupal 8
I'm actually amazed by the amount of work that has gone into Drupal 8 to make it look and feel like Drupal (Views, Content Types, etc) and yet have a completely different architecture based on Symfony. There are several new concepts - services and routing and plugins - which made getting the hang of Drupal 8 a challenge. But ultimately, working on Features for Drupal 8 was an incredibly rewarding experience.
I challenge developers to give Drupal 8 a spin. If you want to help, go to the Features project page on drupal.org and download the latest 3.x version and start playing with it. Post your bugs and suggestions to the issue queue. We could really use some help writing automated tests in order to release a Beta version.
And, of course, get started by listening to the Modules Unraveled podcast on Features!

The Tea Party Comes To Ankeny: An Interview With Stacey Rogers (Part 1 of 2)
Filed Under: 2012 Elections, Ankeny, Barack Obama, Barry Goldwater, Featured Local, Governing, Iowa, Iowa Economy, Iowa Politics, Primary, Taxes
This is part 1 of a 2 part interview.  Part 2 deals with Obama care, education reform, illegal immigration, the Tea Party, and other topics. It can be linked to at the conclusion of this installment, or by clicking here.
With a 68% increase in population since 2000, and Bloomberg reporting it is now the fastest growing city in Iowa, there is no doubt that Ankeny is rapidly expanding.
As population over the last few years has shifted to Ankeny, so too has the ideological focus of the Republican Party shifted to the right. Just how far right this Des Moines suburb, and longtime Republican stronghold, has moved politically will go a long way in determining who wins the Republican primary to represent …

Thanks for the feedback people - to clarify: an engine hourmeter logs the running time of the engine for maintenance purposes. The type used commonly on dirt bikes gets a signal from the high tension lead (spark plug lead). They must have an on board battery to retain info while engine is off as most dirt bikes don't have a battery. The clever ones show hours while engine is not running and rpm while engine runs! Again, I could buy one but I'd like to build my own - save some money and make myself a better/more knowledgable person!!! And I can't help but feel they must be a relatively simple device.
Engine Hour Meter Answered
Hi, I'm trying to bodge up an engine hour meter for my motorbike (single cylinder) and I'm hoping to find a circuit diagram somewhere. I know you can buy these ready to go but apart from the fact that I have several motorbikes and they are about $NZ90 each, well it just isn't the point, is it? Why spend money when for the sake of a few hours cursing at dodgy connections and burning myself with asoldering iron I can play creator!! Any info would be appreciated, thanks. Nick
. Oh . Most hour meters I've seen have a mechanical display so it doesn't need power to retain memory. I don't think the high tension wire is used for the hour meter, but is for the tach. . I'm with dickie, try to find a cheap one at a lawn and garden shop instead of a motorcycle shop.
Couldn't you just get a cheap pic and a quartz chip and wire it up (I'm not exactly sure how :p) and program it to keep the time (connect it directly to the batter if you have electric start) and then there would probably be some kind of input pins, so you could wire it to the ignition so that when you turn the bike on, it comes out of standby and starts the clock again. What exactly do you need a hour counter on a bike for anyways? If you need to time something, just get a watch.
You need a timer circuit that you can separate the counting function from the memory function. That way, you can keep battery power to the memory and run engine power to the counting function so that it counts up time only when getting power from the engine. The trick would be getting the right power source from the engine (I'm guessing magneto?). If you wanted to do it mechanically, almost all heavy equipment has an engine hour meter. You could try to get one of those from a junkyard or repair shop.
What exactly does an engine hour meter do? Record how long it has been turned on?
. You, Sir, are correct.
they sell them at sears for not much money there used to keep track of time on a lawn tractor
. The only thing I can think of is a cheap electrical clock; wire power to ignition. It will roll-over every twelve hours.

Vintage in Neukölln: The Good Store
While a few years back the centre of clothes-buying was certainly Mitte around Münzstraße, this area today seems to be entirely occupied by H&M owned stores. (Well, not entirely… One small street of indomitable fashion heroes still holds out). But don't fret, Berlin is still vast enough to offer space for young entrepreneurs, courageous enough to start their own stores with a small budget. Like Gerda Jünemann, who just opened a small paradise for lovers of vintage treasures: The Good Store.
Announced by posters in the windows claiming "Good Things Will Happen Soon", the store already attracted eyes (like mine) long before opening. Gerda chose a street that was nothing more than a trough-road a couple years back and has since then developed into a hot-spot for new restaurants, delis and shops. Pannierstraße is now home to one of our favorite cake places as well as highly overrated Australian cafés and burger places, but also offers the best croissants in the area and a long-standing organic bakery. And now also a shop for vintage fashion.
Inside of the beautiful store Gerda chose to present the well selected items together with pretty flowers in giant vintage vases on steles. To both sides, dresses, shirts, pants and more hang neatly organized on brass poles, in the back a giant mirror behind a plywood cupboard makes the rather small place look twice as big.
The Good Store offers women's as well as men's second hand clothing, not so much chosen by brand but more by taste. Which is why Jil Sander dresses hang next to no-brand shirts, Isabel Marant shoes are placed next to high-street handbags.
But the mix isn't eclectic, rather reflecting the way we dress today. Magazines might still offer us one-brand looks, but seriously, who's dressing in high-fashion brands only!?
Gerda's concept is to draw from commission, she choses from clothes brought into the store by friends and neighbors alike. With a big stock in the back, she can easily react to changes of weather or mood in Berlin. All while not creating a place that seems snobbish or inaccessible, which was perfectly proven by various people stopping by when I was visiting, stepping in for a quick chat or a short look through the racks.
Looks like you should put Neukölln on your shopping list, good things are happening.

This shop looks amazing! I was in Berlin not long ago, wish i had known about it when i was there.
I'm a British teenager coming on holiday to Berlin for a week, we're staying near Tiergarten. I like second hand/vintage clothes but obviously on more of a budget, any suggestions? Thanks x

With Election Day just over a week away, it's a good time to remind the voters of Massachusetts that they have more than two choices when it comes to electing our next governor. This week I chat with Evan Falchuk, who is hoping to earn enough of the vote to qualify his United Independent Party as an official party in future state elections. I asked him why he's doing it, plus what inspires him.
You're running as the candidate of the United Independent Party. In fact, this is your party. I'd love to hear a little bit about why you think Massachusetts needs a third party.
This is a nationwide problem. Here in Massachusetts, most voters aren't enrolled in one of the two political parties. We are building a framework for a lasting, independent voice. We have serious problems and challenges, and the establishment is not addressing them. Meanwhile, more than half of our state legislators are running unopposed in 2014. By 2016, we'll have lots of smart independent candidates on the ballot and will bring real, meaningful reform to our politics, economy and government.
There have been a number of scandals recently—issues with the Massachusetts Health Connector website, the Department of Children and Families and the Probation Department. Do you think today's political climate is more receptive to an independent candidate running for governor?
People are definitely more receptive. Voters are frustrated right now, and it's hard to decipher what the true priorities of the state are. The cost of living is skyrocketing, driven by increased prices monopolistic hospital systems charge for health care. Meanwhile, schools aren't being funded properly, seniors struggle to afford homes and care, and veterans are homeless. My goal is to help our communities grow and thrive. The recent corruption is troubling. The public's confidence in government is eroding, and it's bad because we need our government perhaps more than ever to help solve these problems.
How does your Judaism affect your politics and political choices?
I think Judaism is a religion that constantly challenges you to really think about everything—so much of it has to do with questioning every story, every lesson and every event. And even with all that questioning, it's a religion of enduring faith. In that sense, it's always been an important part of my life. Looking back on my own family's history, my grandfather left the Ukraine at 14 because of a pogrom in which much of his family was killed. He ended up in Cuba, alone, and eventually found his way to Venezuela. He lived until he was 101, and he always wanted to make sure his sons ended up in America. We have so much to be thankful for, and I feel my generation has an obligation to fix things that aren't right in this country so the faith in our country as that kind of place can continue.
You come from a prominent Jewish family. Your mother is a past president of Hadassah and your brother co-created the FOX TV hit "Glee." Who would win in tag team wrestling: the Emanuel brothers or the Falchuk brothers?
The Falchuk brothers would win! We have youth and lack of ties to the two-party system. We also watched a ton of professional wrestling when we were kids and know a variety of moves. We would defeat the Emanuel brothers and go on to become tag team champions of the world!

3/4 of a year NAV 2015 is on the market and nobody so far (at least that I could trace on the Internet) seemed to have noticed. I guess we all have sleeping. Seems including MS as it hasn't been fixed.
Did you read this?
Click on the image to go to the msdn help topic.
Great, so eventually code variables are treated the same as text variables with respect to their length.
Well ... bummer ... no. Try it yourself.
Clearly a bug, but the question is: documentation or implementation bug?
I go for the latter.
Thanx, Stuart. Glad I didn't make a bet with Erik. ;-)
Erik is right, was a doc bug. Should be updated on MSDN by end of June.
Thanx, Erik. This as such doesn't tell me it's not an implementation error. However the additional argument you gave on FB makes more sense:
What should the purpose be? In what case do you need an "auto-trimming-uppercasing" string thats longer than 250 (max. in database) ? I can only come up with cases that are bad programming for that.
Still makes me wonder about the why behind the documentation change as the 2013 R2 topics still seems to apply. What triggered that change?
Its an documentation bug, here is a decompiledd part of the NavCode .NET class
public class NavCode : NavCodeBase
private static readonly NavCode[] cachedNavCodes = new NavCode[250];
private static readonly Func<int, NavCode> createDefault = (Func<int, NavCode>) (maxLength => new NavCode(maxLength, string.Empty));
public const int MaxSize = 1024;
private string value;
private bool needsUpperCasing;
private readonly short maxDefinedLength;
private readonly byte alphaIndex;
