What is a Kernel32 DLL Error and How to Fix it
When you boot your computer, Windows loads Kernel32, one of the operating system's core files into the system memory. This ensures proper running of the Windows operating system and its smooth interaction with other application programs. However, due to some reason or the other, the kernel32 error may cause certain problems. When such a situation happens, you are likely to see relevant error messages.
Causes of Error in Kernel32 DLL
There may be several causes behind this Kernel32 error. Some of these are:
- Windows' File Allocation Table gets damaged
- Password lists are obtained by malicious people
- The Kernel32 file gets corrupted
- Windows registry gets corrupted due to some means
- Your computer's BIOS is incorrectly set
- Non-Microsoft software not running in tandem with Windows
- Presence of improper hardware driver software
- Malicious acts of viruses and spyware
How to Fix Kernel32 dll error
You have to catch hold of a good registry-cleaning tool. Manual editing of your system registry, particularly if you are a novice, may be detrimental. Do not clean your system registry by using RegEdit. Instead, leave that task to some expert tool like RegCure. RegCure is inexpensive and gets the cleaning job done quickly. RegCure not only solves the dreaded Kernel32 error, it also can fix several other problems related to your PC. Once fixed, RegCure prevents recurrence and stands guard against new threats. In fact, this tool is to be considered as one of your essential PC maintenance tools.
First, download the free scanner to see if RegCure matches with your PC. If you are through, purchase the full version of RegCure. The tool does not cost much and this investment is really worth in the end. Go for an initial scan to find the problems.
Review the errors or have RegCure get rid of them. You will witness improvement in your computer's speed also. Something more is left to do.
You need to set RegCure's configurations to continue to get the best results. Turn the Automatic Updates feature on, this ensures that you get protection against new and emerging threats. You can decide to review errors one at a time or allow RegCure to go ahead and fix them. This is your personal decision. Last but not least, set up scheduled scans. This ensures periodic diagnosis of your computer's health and cure (if needed).
Apart from the RegCure therapy, there are few other things that you can do to get rid of the Kernel32 errors. Using updated driver software for your hardware is one of them.

Well, January is half-way through and I finally starting to post some of the projects that were completed (and worn) last year.
In order to make it a bit easier for me (i.e. less embarrassing), I won't tell you which occasion this dress what sewn for (if you're curious, you can check the sneak peak here).
Luckily (for me and my erratic blogging schedules) this dress is as perfect to wear now as it was 3-weeks ago.
Lately, almost everything I sew for my girl becomes an instant favorite of mine and, most important, of her. The fact that she gets to be involved in the process definitely has something to do with it – she's now my "official assistant" with the task of selecting fabrics and patterns (with some guidance, of course, but it does make a huge difference).
She loves dresses and it's very feminine when picking her clothes but she's not a huge fan of pink, so it's difficult to choose a "pink" print that pleases her (and that actually fits my requirements – quality and price).
This lovely muted pink viyella-type was a love at first-sight – the colors are perfect for my "non-pink girl" and it's really soft.
We both love it and I knew it would be perfect for a special dress (it was purchased in early fall precisely for this occasion).
I used the Myrantine blouse pattern from Citronille (modified to dress-length) and the outcome was exactly what I was looking for. Simple and understated dress that is also suited for making the transition to spring.
On Christmas day, my girl was gifted a lovely wool short-cardigan that matched the dress perfectly.
I love this shade of pink and I'm so glad we have found a way for keep adding pink to her wardrobe.
PS. I just realize that this dress would also look perfect for Easter 🙂
xo, Happy sewing,
Ana Sofia

Defensive Driving PIRP courses are state authorized and online for most states. In some states, Defensive Driving such as driver improvement programs and accident prevention courses are ideal for dismissing a traffic ticket/citation for a motor vehicle moving violation and other minor traffic offenses. Speeding tickets are the most often common offenses which result in traffic fines or driving safety deferrals. A deferred adjudication or deferred judgment is a probation because a judge or court official authorizes the deferral of the fine. If a defendant remains on probation, usually 6 months to a year without getting a second charge, the case is dismissed. Many courts will ask the violator to take a defensive driving or driver improvement course in lieu of the fine and instead of a conviction record on the drivers license.

Noboru Ishikawa is a Professor of Social Anthropology at the Center for Southeast Asian Studies, Kyoto University. He obtained his Ph.D. in Anthropology from the Graduate Center, City University of New York and is the author of a range of articles on the borderlands and riverine societies of Borneo (Sarawak and West Kalimantan), nation and identity, transnationalism, and political economy of the Malay world.
His publication includes Dislocating Nation-States: Globalization in Asia and Africa (2005), Between Frontiers: Nation and Identity in a Southeast Asian Borderland (2010) and Transborder Governance of Forests, Rivers and Seas (2011).
Ryoji Soda
Graduate School of Literature and Human Sciences, Osaka City University
Since 1995 when I was a master course student of Kyoto University, Sarawak has been my main research site. Although I have been interested in human mobility of indigenous peoples and rural-urban interactions in Sarawak and Southeast Asia, a few years ago I was asked to do research on floods and riverbank erosion, which drove me to do study on riverine society and culture of disaster.
What I am aiming in this project are; 1) to construct a model of riverine society by doing research on human mobility and inter-ethnic relations along the Jelalong/Kemena river, and 2) to make clear the human-nature interactions from the viewpoint of riverine disasters, partly by collecting disaster-related narratives including myths and oral traditions, and partly by articulating such information with more scientific data provided by hydrologists and forestry ecologists.
Yasuyuki Kono
Southeast Asian Studies, Natural Resources Management, Livelihood Studies Center for Southeast Asia Studies, Kyoto University
I have been conducting research studies on land use, water-resource management, agricultural technologies, forest preservation, the process of development in rural areas, ecological history in Southeast Asia countries including Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam and Unnan province of China, Cambodia, Myanmar and Indonesia.
In recent years, I have been trying to broaden field of studies to coastal areas which have distinct resource characteristics. I have been working to make the concept of a biomass society by seeking a sustainable way of living. In order to make a comprehensive analysis on the social development of rural areas, I focus attention on the shift of way of living in those areas.
Kaoru Sugihara
Global history, Asian economic history
National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies
My field of study is the Asian economic history from 19th century, particularly the trading history in this region. In recent years, I have broadened my perspective and have been working on an international project to pursue global history study. My focus is to explain the path of industrialization and economic development of Asia within historical context.
Unlike Western society, industrialization in Asia is not characterized by capital intensification but rather labor intensity. Asian economic development has been achieved within the framework of resource-saving structure in order to overcome the constraints of land, materials and energy resources.
The project, Global COE Program "In Search of Sustainable Humanosphere in Asia and Africa" is now in its closing phase and I am working on to categorize the process of development in tropical areas in Asia and Africa. The process in those areas has been different from the one in temperate regions as the forms of water and energy resources have a wide variety and need more attentions to deal with uncertainties.
In this Kiban-S project, I would like to overview the transformation of some part of the Southeast Asia into a high biomass society through the process of industrialization and globalization. I would like to study the impact of this change from global historical standpoint.
Kosuke Mizuno
Agricultural Economics

Naoko Tokuchi
Forest Ecosystem Ecology
Field Science Education and Research Center, Kyoto University
I have been studying on physical cycle in nature. A variety of substances circulate in natural environment and some of them are taken up by plants and ultimately lead to forest growth. This natural cycle offers us with so-called ecosystem services.
I want to know how land use change in Malaysia affects the physical cycle and what happens to the forest. What impact does this have upon the ecosystem service? Do people who enjoy the ecosystem service detect the signs of change? In this project, I would like to pursue the answers for these questions.
Motomitsu Uchibori
Cultural Anthropology/Ethnology
Faculty of Liberal Arts, The Open University of Japan
I have a gut feeling that this project could bring an interesting sample of racial interactions and the logic of ethnogenesis in central Sarawak. On this occasion, I will tackle my research in a village of Bukitan along the Penyarai River, a tributary of Kakus.
I believe that this project offers a great opportunity for young researchers to have hands-on experience in the field.
As of the moment I have been back in my study of the people in the peripheral areas of the forest in central Madagascar. I will juggle both works for the time being.
Miyako Koizumi
Ecological Anthropology
Graduate School of Agriculture, Kyoto University
I have been studying on the life of people in the forest of Borneo. Those indigenous people have profound knowledge of their forest and their lives have been heavily dependent on the natural resources of the forest. Today, however, forest degradation has become a major issue in Borneo.
I would like to deviate a little bit this year, from what I've been studying and focus on the study of sustainable use of the forests.
I want to make a research on the vegetation of commercial logging sites. Also, I'd like to have a workshop for the local members of logging firms and our collaborators on how to make botanical samples or how to identify the plants and trees.
Hiromitsu Samejima
Center for Southeast Asia Studies, Kyoto University
I have been working in Sabah, Borneo to establish a method for biodiversity research of mammals in forests to contribute for a sustainable forest management.
In this project, my focus is on the mammals in the forest, especially the ecology of wild boars. I would like to make it clear that how the ecology of this wild animal affects the way of living of the people in the forest.
On top of that, as a management staff, I'll keep it in mind to give assistance to make this project productive and rewarding. Samejima H. and Semiadi G. 2012.

Motoko Fujita
Bird Ecology
Center for Southeast Asia Studies, Kyoto University
In the environment under the influence of mankind, the land use by local people often determines the fate of many wild species. The living organisms are different in a rural environment and in an urban setting. I have been studying on the impact of human-induced environments to the bird life; what difference does it make to the ecosystem function of the bird. In Japan, Malaysia and Indonesia, I have focused on the transportation of the nutrient salts: nitrogen and phosphorus.
In this project, I would like to pick up edible bird's nest which is an important export product of this area. By focusing on the nest of Swiftlet, I will examine the impact of land usage and its sustainability. In addition, I would like to study on the transportation of materials within the ecosystem.
Osamu Kozan
Center for Southeast Asia Studies, Kyoto University
I focus on the peat land spread across the Southeast Asia far and wide. Using "water/heat cycle" and "sustainability" as global keywords, I am working to establish a method of evaluation on the influence of grand-scale tree planting to the ambient environment.
Currently, in West Kalimantan, conducting the monitoring and modeling work of water/heat cycle and CO2 dynamics to evaluate the sustainability of major-scale tree plantation. In Sarawak, my target is to construct a hydrological dynamic model and a method of assessment which measure the influence of land use change, how it affects the water quality and the river flow.
Keitaro Fukushima
Forest Ecosystem Ecology
School of Urban Environmental Sciences, Tokyo Metropolitan University
My field of study is to figure out the system of material cycle in forestry ecosystem. I have been working on chemical analysis of plants, soil and stream waters for ten years. Currently, I am conducting a research to show cause-and-effect relationship between land use and water quality. To pursue this goal, I expanded the subject of my research to include downstream sites, dam lakes and coastal estuary.
I was fortunate enough to be the member of this project and could widen my research site to Malaysia. In Malaysia, I witnessed a large-scale form of land use which Japan would never be able to adopt. I wonder how much trouble is there and how deep those issues are in those areas.
I would like to collect the samples of river water in order to explore the mechanism of water production. At the same time, I will keep it in mind to pay attention to local people's social value and their views of their lives.
I am thrilled to have an opportunity to work together with researchers from other field of studies.
Makoto Tsugami
Cultural Anthropology
Liberal Arts, Tohoku Gakuin University
Katsumi Okuno
Cultural Anthropology
College of Liberal Arts, J.F.Oberlin University
I conducted two-year research among the shifting cultivators, the Kalis of West Kalimantan, Indonesian Borneo between 1994 and 1995, focusing on shamanism and sorcery.
Since the end of the 1990's I shifted to Sarawak and then I have had research among the Maloh, the Iban and the Penan communities.
My major concern is on the relation between men and animals, culture and nature among the people in Borneo.
Masahiro Ichikawa
Southeast Asian Area Study
Faculty of Agriculture, Kochi University
After completing my doctoral course of Graduate School at Human and Environmental Studies at Kyoto University, I spent five years with Research Institute for Humanity and Nature.
Currently I am working with Faculty of Agriculture, Kochi University.
I have been making my research in Sarawak, for Iban's use of their land, forest, and their way of living. Ever since I moved to Kochi, I have become aware of the problems of depopulation and aging local communities. In Sarawak, ever-growing outflow of population from mountain areas to urban regions has generated various problems and I imagine this gradually affects the rural communities and the style of resource use in this area.
Fumikazu Ubukata
Natural Resource Economics
Graduate School of Environmental Science, Okayama University
I have been studying, mainly in Thailand and Laos, the influence of the systems of natural resources management and the growth of resource consuming industry to local communities.
In this project, I would like to look at it from opposite point of view. I will trace the developing process of rapidly-growing resource consuming industry, as typified by oil palm plantation. Then I want to figure out how it could be develop further in this area. Although this is my first work in Sarawak, I will make my best effort. I am looking forward to exchanging views with other researchers.
Tetsu Ichikawa
Cultural Anthropology
College of Tourism, Rikkyo University
I've been working on my field study in Malaysia, Papua New Guinea and Australia. In Papua New Guinea I have met many ethnic Chinese from Sarawak which led me to visit this area regularly for additional research from 2004.
My main focus is trans-border activities in Malaysia; the interactions between ethnic Chinese and indigenous people, trans-border commerce and migration of people across borders. We can find certain number of studies on ethnic Chinese in Malaysia, but only a few of them have picked up the ethnic Chinese in the state of Sarawak.
I found this project somewhat unique as it casts a spotlight on a certain riverine system and pick up interactions among ethnic groups and local communities. I hope I can add a new direction in the field of ethnic Chinese study through this project.
Yucho Sadamichi
Life Cycle Assessment
The National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology
From 2006 to 2010 as an instructor of Chiang Mai University I conducted an assessment of life-cycle greenhouse gas burden of energy plantations in Thailand.
Biofuel can keep the amount of greenhouse gas emission lower than fossil fuel, at least in some cases. Suitable land is limited, then, is it really an effective use of land to produce an energy source, but not food? Is this really good for local communities?
I want to continue my study in search of the answers to these questions. I will explore an ideal form of biomass productive activities from the aspect of a comprehensive evaluation on energy and social environment.
In this project, I want to understand the real issues in the research area and then work to find solutions. As I can work with researchers coming from a variety of fields, I hope it gives me a good chance to see things from different perspectives and some inspirations.
Nathan Badenoch
Southeast Asian Studies
The Hakubi Project / Center for Southeast Asia Studies, Kyoto University
I have been working in the uplands of mainland Southeast Asia since 1999, covering a broad range of resource governance issues from policy and community perspectives. This background, combined with my life-long fascination with languages has led me to my current research looking at biocultural diversity in Laos.
In my capacity as a Hakubi research fellow, I am exploring the dynamics of multilingualism within a rapidly changing socio-economic landscape along the Lao-China border. In the Biomass Society project, I am broadening my interests to look at "the Borneo watershed" as a social space that is formed by complex interactions among diverse ethnic groups.
Central to this line of investigation is how multilingualism along the rivers has contributed to social relations, and how these dynamics are changing as local society shifts its orientation away from river networks towards road networks. Working from a basic knowledge of Bahasa Melayu I have started studying Iban and Kayan.
I'm also reviving my Hokkien and working on Hakka in preparation for fieldwork.
Koji Tanaka
Southeast Asian Studies
Kyoto University Research Administration Office (KURA Office)
I retired from Kyoto University in the end of March 2010. Currently I oversee the university's Hakubi project, a support program for fostering of young researchers. Unfortunately, I have never been to Sarawak, but I can imagine what's like there from my experience in Kalimantan, Indonesia.
I have empathy with this project ever since Mr. Ishikawa shared the concept of the project with me before he applied for the grant. But as I don't have experience in Sarawak, my standpoint in this project is not a collaborator but rather a supporter.
I have been interested in agriculture and forestry in the Southeast Asia and the management of biological resources. There are many agendas to be studied like the exchange activities among the ethnic groups along with rivers, logistics and the traffic of local people and various commodities, and rapid-expanding oil palm plantation.
I will look forward to hear the outcomes from the members of this project.

The trade of forest products in the Borneo's indigenous societies has continued over the centuries. It plays a crucial role in the area's interethnic relations and local economy. In this area, environmental change has progressed at a quick pace in recent years. Many rain forests were turned into oil palm plantations, at the same time, nature reserves have been established. The changes in circumstances surrounding forests in this area pick up the pace more and more. My focus is on the transition of social relationships among the ethnic groups in this area which have been based on forest products economy.
In my research I have been focusing on upstream area and upriver products. This project, however, covers throughout an entire area from upstream to downstream for its study region. As it is beyond the scale of an individual research, I am thrilled to take part in the project.

I took an interest in Southeast Asia when I spent my time in Singapore. I wanted to understand the nation from a historical angle when I witnessed such small country people with different backgrounds living together side-by-side.
The study in Sarawak, I would like to take an approach that it has been, as a matter of fact, within the regional commercial zone of Singapore. I would trace that how the forest products of Sarawak in 19th century were collected in Singapore and where those products went from there. I will trace the distribution of those products by analyzing foreign trade statistics of that time.

I am a historian working on the Malay-Indonesian Archipelago, by examining Dutch, English, Malay, Javanese, and Chinese sources. I am interested in the roles of maritime migrants (Sea Peoples), who frequently moved their settlements, engaged in trade and collection of marine products. They had various origins (Malay, the Orang Laut, Bugis, Iranun etc.), but they were distinguished as a whole, called the strandbewoners and so on, from long-settled people in Dutch sources. They played an important role in trade and wars, and therefore contributed to the establishment of the political order and the development of trade networks in the region.
By examining the activities of these people, I am attempting to reconstruct the history of the region beyond national borders. In addition, I am interested in the production and trade of non-colonial products (local and Chinese export products, distinct from the mineral and agricultural products promoted with colonial capital in large scales) in the nineteenth-century Malay-Indonesian Archipelago. By focusing on these products, I attempt to reexamine the economic history, which has excessively concentrated on colonial products.

I grew up in the city of Kuching, in the Malaysian state of Sarawak. In 1999, I obtained my Bachelors Degree in Applied Science from University of Science, Penang, majoring in freshwater ecology. I then worked for 2 years as a Zoologist with the Sarawak Biodiversity Centre.
In 2002, I obtained my Masters in Ecology from Aberdeen University, UK. From end of 2003 to 2009, I worked with the Wildlife Conservation Society – Malaysia Program and conducted studies in various fields, notably surveys of primates, birds and bats. Towards the later half of my appointment, I was greatly involved in the research on wildlife in logging concession areas and forestry policies.
In 2009, I furthered my studies in Kyoto University under the sponsorship of Japanese Government (Monbukagakusho) Scholarship. Currently, I am attached to the Graduate School of Global Environmental Studies as a doctoral degree student.
My research topic is the utilization of key resources by wildlife (focusing on natural salt licks) in production forests environment in Sarawak. The study sites are a logging concession and a tree plantation area in Bintulu.
In Sarawak, other forms of forested environments also have crucial roles in the conservation of wildlife. In view of the large expanse of areas set aside for logging and forest plantations in Sarawak, efforts must be intensified to promote the conservation of wildlife in these areas.

I have been studying the people and their way of living in the forest in Belaga, Sarawak. My study mainly focuses on their hunting and gathering life style: their nomadic way of life and their economy dependent on forest resources such as wild plants and animals.
As a rule, those people in the forest are unwilling to change their way of living even after the forest has been deteriorated due to logging. The same has been true when they have more options to make their living when a market economy has become dominant.
In this project, I'd like to make a research on the people who live in different forest environments; how much difference there is among the people in different types of forests in the economy and the use of wild animals.
I am looking forward to working together with other researchers who have different knowledge and backgrounds.

What motivates health professionals to engage in the accreditation of healthcare organisations?
Greenfield, D and Pawsey, M and Braithwaite, J, What motivates health professionals to engage in the accreditation of healthcare organisations?, International Journal for Quality in Health Care, 23, (1) pp. 8-14. ISSN 1353-4505 (2011) [Refereed Article]
DOI: doi:10.1093/intqhc/mzq069
Objective. Motivated staff are needed to improve quality and safety in healthcare organizations. Stimulating and engaging staff to participate in accreditation processes is a considerable challenge. The purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of health executives, managers and frontline clinicians who participated in organizational accreditation processes: what motivated them to engage, and what benefits accrued? Design/participants. The setting was a large public teaching hospital undergoing a planned review of its accreditation status. A research protocol was employed to conduct semi-structured interviews with a purposive sample of 30 staff with varied organizational roles, from different professions, to discuss their involvement in accreditation. Thematic analysis of the data was undertaken. Results. The analysis identified three categories, each with sub-themes: accreditation response (reactions to accreditation and the value of surveys); survey issues ( participation in the survey, learning through interactions and constraints) and documentation issues (self-assessment report, survey report and recommendations). Participants occupational role focuses their attention to prioritize aspects of the accreditation process. Their motivations to participate and the benefits that accrue to them can be positively self-reinforcing. Participants have a desire to engage collaboratively with colleagues to learn and validate their efforts to improve. Conclusion. Participation in the accreditation process promoted a quality and safety culture that crossed organizational boundaries. The insights into worker motivation can be applied to engage staff to promote learning, overcome organizational boundaries and improve services. The findings can be applied to enhance involvement with accreditation and, more broadly, to other quality and safety activities.

She stayed all day on Saturday with her dad who was also showing some of his own art. Grace is the youngest member of this particular art guild and most of the artists have shown her lots of love and taken her under their wing so to speak. She helped pass out flyers at another venue, priced all of her work, interacted with artists and the general public that were attending the show. Grace also had the opportunity to meet a new friend and spend some time talking cosplaying, anime, etc. (all her favorite subjects). It was a great weekend all around for her. She sold four pieces of art and also acquired a commission to work on as one of the pieces had already sold that a patron wished to purchase. Thanks to all the family and friends that came out and supported Grace and Scott in this endeavor.

Just got your big bonus? You might fall prey to Mental Accounting
Amar Pandit
Amar is a CFA Charterholder and CFP, having over 20 years of experience in IT and Financial Services. He is very passionate about spreading financial literacy and has authored four bestselling books on Personal Finance.
23 Oct, 2017
A couple of months ago, I met a man by the name of Mr. Arjun Seth, who worked as a corporate executive. After having spoken for a while, he confided in me that he would never in his life, waste his money on making investments, even in blue chip stocks. I thought to myself that he must definitely be a conservative investor.
Cut to a few weeks later when I met Arjun, he very enthusiastically informed me that he had recently experienced a windfall of Rs. 50 Lakh from the sale of a late uncle's property. However, most of that amount had already dwindled down, courtesy of investments in penny stocks, on an exciting holiday to the Maldives and rather surprisingly, on horse race betting. When I commented on the unlikeliness of this occurring the last time I met him, Arjun responded by joyfully saying, "Hey, I got the money as a gift."
Isn't it surprising how a conservative person turned belligerent?
It actually isn't all that surprising, considering how common the phenomenon of 'Mental Accounting' actually is. Seen very often on TV shows like Kaun Banega Crorepati, Mental Accounting takes place when, even after losing out on all of their lifelines, the contestant is willing to take risks for higher amounts. This despite knowing and understanding that the winning amount could reduce drastically if the wrong answer is given. If the same person was asked to make a similar sort of bet with their own hard-earned money, you would find yourself without a taker. In fact, if you'd ask almost any other person, pretty much everyone would turn down your bet.
So, what then is Mental Accounting? It refers to the mindset of treating money depending on its source. For example, say you have been thinking about buying a new LED TV but have been holding off because you're looking to make prudent financial decisions. But, the second you get the money required to buy the TV as a gift or through a lottery, there is a shift in attitude from "I can't" to "I can".
In this sort of a situation, what the individual needs to realise is that just because they've won a lottery, received a gift or windfall, it doesn't mean that the money doesn't belong to them or that it should be treated differently. The ideal thing would be to think of all your money, inflows and outflows, as a balance sheet and not something that is dependent on the source.
There are some situations that commonly occur when people apply Mental Accounting while making their big money decisions.
- If you wait for a bonus or a windfall to make a purchase, when you already have the requisite savings in your bank account.
- If you are too conservative or prefer fixed interest products with your own money but would rather take a risk when you have won a lottery or received an inheritance.
- If you have a substantial amount lying in your Bank Account or Fixed Deposits, but you have car loans, personal loans and credit card debt where you are paying significantly higher interest rates.
Making use of Mental Accounting isn't bad but its dividends pay off only when it is used to improve one's finances. Here's how you can do it.
- Generally, people think they need sizeable sums of money to make investments and so they waste time and resources in creating the corpus. In the process, they find it difficult to accumulate money because holding onto small sums of money is difficult as needs keep arising from time to time. There needs to be constant Mental Accounting done, of children's educational and one's own retirement, etc. Post this, a decision to begin contributing towards these goals through automatic monthly deductions from one's salary or personal income must be taken.
- Regardless of where you have the inflow of cash from, classify it as your 'income'.
- Understand that even bonuses and gifts are a part of your wealth. This will help you accept it as your own money and treat it as you would treat your own.
- Don't make hasty decisions when there is an unexpected inflow of wealth. Delay gratification.
- Evaluate your priorities or the gaps in your current situation. It is only once this is done and enough money has been set aside for contingencies, should you look to spend the money on other wants and desires.
- Avoid making purchases with a credit card. Credit cards might definitely be convenient and for a lot of corporate executives, necessary to make reimbursements. But for personal reasons, it is imperative to ensure that the credit doesn't roll from one moth to the next.
Essentially, the idea is to make use of Mental Accounting to create positive cash flows. And not a financial mess.

Because technology advances so fast, people also expect that they can be more productive and get more things done in less time. The design challenge however is that knowledge and information keeps on increasing. In fact it doubles about every five years. Simultaneously information is becoming more abstract and increases in complexity. This is where information visualization comes in.
Information visualization focuses on condensing this type of information in such a way that it can be understood, and correctly interpreted by its reader. In a business context information visualization finds application in a variety of areas, be it presentations, data visualizations, and particular the area involving dashboards.
Distilling the core information is part of reducing complexity. For example it can be used to show key performance indicators, revenue versus expense over time, within certain product categories, and within geographic regions.
Information visualisation can easily make recurring patterns visible, and allow its readers to analyse faster, and use the insights to make decisions and take actions. An example would be health data over a period of time, that a doctor can utilize to better understand a patients needs and make appropriate recommendations.
Dashboards can be digital and analogue, or a combination of both.
Source: https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4007/4231603362_c2f37e8b73_b.jpg
When information visualization in dashboards is done right, it can save time, lives, money, in short: it helps us doing things simply better, and faster.
The important thing is to choose the right data points and perspectives so that correct interpretation can be guaranteed.
Successful dashboard design is based on an understanding of visual perception and human cognition.

Abstract 1902
Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is the malignancy with poor prognosis. Most patients with MPM present severe symptoms such as pain, dyspnea and fatigue. Because of the symptoms and poor prognosis, MPM survivors would have poor Quality of Life (QOL), however, their QOL has not been well evaluated.
Subjects were the survivors of MPM. We asked the cancer hospitals in Japan and MPM Patients' Association to distribute the self-administered questionnaire. QOL was evaluated using scales of the EORTC QLQ-C30 and QoQoLo short version. In addition to the QOL, clinical factors were collected using the questionnaire. Mean and its standard deviation were used to evaluate QOL scores. Wilcoxon rank sum test was used to compare the QOL scores. Factors affecting the QOL score were evaluated by multiple regression model.
In total, 133 survivors with MPM participated in the study. Regarding the QOL evaluated by QLQ-C30: functional scales were poor (scores >50), while symptom scales were not so poor (scores 2 years from diagnosis, and female. Similarly, good PS and >2 years from diagnosis were the factors caused higher total score of CoQoLo core domein.
Survivors with MPM had physical and psychological difficulties. Even the survivors with good PS had functional difficulty. Individualized supports are required for survivors with MPM.

Finally, some good news for businesses with some recent tax changes! After plenty of bad news with TOSI (tax on split income) and income from passive investments, the Liberal government has announced some positive new tax measures to help businesses in their Fall Economic Statement 2018 released on November 21, 2018.
These new rules relate to capital asset purchases and an accelerated capital cost allowance (CCA) rate in the first year of acquisition. The government calls this measure the Accelerated Investment Incentive (A.I.I.). What this means is that businesses will get a larger tax expense in the year of acquisition.
Example 1
For example, if a farming business purchased a new tractor for $250,000 under CCA Class 10, the business would receive a tax deduction of $37,500 in the first year under the old rules, resulting in tax savings of $4,500 (using a 12% combined corporate tax rate). Under the new A.I.I. rules, the new tractor would result in a tax deduction of $112,500 and tax savings of $13,500. An increased tax savings of $9,000 for a small business corporation. This could be higher under a proprietorship business where the marginal tax rates can be progressively higher.
Example 2
Another example is with a business vehicle. A vehicle costing $30,000 would typically be in Class 10 with a 30% CCA rate. Historically, in the year of acquisition the business would receive a $4,500 deduction. Under the new A.I.I. rules, the business would receive a $13,500 deduction. Under the 12% combined corporate tax rate, that results in tax savings of $1,080. Again, these tax savings could be higher under a proprietorship business where the marginal tax rates can be progressively higher.
To summarize the A.I.I rules, the capital cost allowance is now calculated without the half-year rule in the year of acquisition and provides an increase of 50% of the rate in the year of acquisition. At the end of the day, the tax deduction has tripled in the year of acquisition. Keep in mind that in subsequent years, there are no changes to the CCA rate. The A.I.I. will stay in effect until 2024 when it will be gradually phased out by 2027.
What Does This Mean?
As these new rules are effective for capital asset acquisitions starting now (as of November 20, 2018) and if you're looking at reducing your tax bill for your 2018 taxes, it may be a good decision to purchase or replace some of your capital assets. The type of capital assets are not limited, so it could be vehicles, heavy equipment, buildings, computers or office equipment. Talk with your CPA business advisor to help you determine how these new rules with impact your business.
Other Measures
In addition to the A.I.I. rules mentioned, the government has also announced 100% tax deduction in the year of acquisition for machinery and equipment used in Canada for the manufacturing and processing of goods and for specified clean energy equipment.
If you would like to learn more about these new rules or other tax rules, feel free to get in touch with us and talk with Stewart Stolz, CPA, CA.

If you read the description above and say, "that's just a function", you're right. So why not a function? Few reasons:
This library allows the user to store and treat expressions as data, and safely evaluate them in different contexts. Moreover, these expressions can be safely generated based on user input and run inside your application with reasonable performance.
Currently contextual is not a complete Clojure interpreter, but it works, it's fast, and can be used.
Adding support for all of Clojure is on the roadmap, but features which degrade performance might not be added.
Using contextual involves two phases: compilation and execution.
Execution is always performed via
(contextual.core/invoke compiled-expr context-map)
Compilation options:
{'foo clojure.core/println 'bar (->path :x y)} is a valid lookup
IContext or
IStringBuild, to be used as new units of syntax and execution. An
extension point for users.
Currently, the following compilations are available:
(contextual.core/compile expr), where
expr can contain any of the
supported symbols or resolvable symbols.
(contextual.http/compile request) takes a template of containing they
url path query-params body form method headers, any of which
url is optional, and emits an invokable which would emit a map
with a corresponding structure after invoking all the expressions
contained in it.
Special HTTP options:
serialize-body: when not false-y indicates the request body should
be serialized with the provided
body-serializer: any function which will serialize the emitted
request body.
serialize-form: when not false-y indicates the request form should
be serialized with the provided
form-serializer: any function which will serialize the emitted
request form.
serialize-query-params: when truth-y will append the query params to
the end of the URL instead of emitting them as a map. i.e.
{:a 1 :b 2} ->
The templating system can perform best-effort validation.
contextual.validate/validate-expression, which will report the following validations in a map:
unresolvable-symbols: All the symbols which could not be resolved at
expression compile time.
bad-function-calls: All instances of expressions with a wrong number
of arguments, function calls which aren't callable, and unresolved
symbols. This overlaps slightly with
-invoke [this ctx]: Invoke the given object with context
Defaults to identity for
Object and
-invoke-with-builder [this ctx sb]: Invoke the given object with
ctx and
Contextual uses records to describe behaviors. They behave like their corresponding clojure.core names would, with any difference noted below:
Map: map container which will
-invoke every key and value with context.
OptionalMapWrapper: like map, but will discard values with
:optional metadata if they are nil.
If: Makes branching possible. Will invoke the predicate, then either
branch based on the result.
Fn: function container. Will
-invoke all of a function's arguments
with context, then apply the function.
Path: a generic getter for a path of keys in
(path :x :y)
will evaluate to whatever value is in path
[:x :y] in the context
Str: Will invoke all its arguments and add their non-nil result to a
string builder. Nested
Strs won't create intermediary Strings but
will use the same StringBuilder.
Let: Works like you'd expect let to work. Lexical environment is
implemented via attached metadata on the context and environment
The defined records aren't meant to be used directly, but are wrapped in lower case constructor functions. An underlying optimization will dispatch to a loop-unrolled record when possible.
Given an expression such as
(if (path :x :y)
(let [x (path :a :b)]
(+ x 2))
(str (path :y :z) "blah" (path :u :w)))
Compilation will produce a tree of records representing its structure after a post-walk.
#contextual.core.If{:p #contextual.core.Path2{:k0 :x, :k1 :y}, :t #contextual.core.Let{:bindings #contextual.core.Bindings{:bindings [[x__22910 #contextual.core.Path2{:k0 :a, :k1 :b}]]}, :expr #contextual.core.Fn2{:f #function[clojure.core/+], :a0 #contextual.core.Lookup{:sym x__22910}, :a1 2}}, :e #contextual.core.Str3{:a0 #contextual.core.Path2{:k0 :y, :k1 :z}, :a1 "blah", :a2 #contextual.core.Path2{:k0 :u, :k1 :w}}}
Currently, symbols are resolved via:
Otherwise, a symbol will be interpreted as an environment lookup.
Since contextual's model is compile-once run-many, invoke is significantly faster than sci's eval:
(require '[sci.core :as sci])
(def scitx (sci/init {}))
(sci/eval-form scitx '(let [x 1 y 2] (+ x y)))
(def c (-compile '(let [x 1 y 2] (+ x y))))
(-invoke c {})
(require '[criterium.core :as cc])
(sci/eval-form scitx '(let [x 1 y 2] (+ x y))))
;;; Evaluation count : 20016 in 6 samples of 3336 calls.
;;; Execution time mean : 31.412883 µs
;;; Execution time std-deviation : 1.088819 µs
;;; Execution time lower quantile : 30.478367 µs ( 2.5%)
;;; Execution time upper quantile : 33.040048 µs (97.5%)
;;; Overhead used : 9.329803 ns
(-invoke c {}))
;;; Evaluation count : 543534 in 6 samples of 90589 calls.
;;; Execution time mean : 1.118617 µs
;;; Execution time std-deviation : 37.443201 ns
;;; Execution time lower quantile : 1.088897 µs ( 2.5%)
;;; Execution time upper quantile : 1.179156 µs (97.5%)
;;; Overhead used : 9.414056 ns
In most cases, compiling + invoking contextual code will also be faster than sci.

Corrected tooltip evaluation for multiselect
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.3
After adding help text for a multiselect help icon with overlay on hover field, the value was not being sourced. Changing to a different type of help text or control type worked as expected. This was due to an error in case sensitivity, using pyToolTip when it should have been pyTooltip, and has been corrected.

Recent Cases from different applications available to open
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.3
An enhancement has been added which will allow opening other application assignments in the Recent Cases section of the current application when the user has access to multiple applications.

Fluid Overlay displays as expected in Firefox
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.3
After upgrade, using the Overlay format "Fluid" to perform the screening matches task in CLM using Firefox had an overlay that covered the entire screen but was missing the scrollbar to manage the content. This has been resolved by adding changes to support dynamic content (with scrollbar) for center overlay.

Handling added for radio button with expandpane
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
When given a radio button to select a row in a table (table with Edit Option as Master-Detail - Expand Pane), the first click on the radio button expanded the row but the radio button was not selected. On clicking again, the radio button was selected. The issue was observed in UI gallery as well, and changing the radio button to a checkbox worked as expected. This was traced to a difference in handling related to event infrastructure changes, and has been resolved by adding a timeout in grid specific code for use when there is a radio button with expandpane grid configuration.

Handling added for last focused element in custom modal
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
Using Shift-Tab can take the focus out of the modal window when using a custom modal template without the "X" icon in the header. The issue did not happen when using "tab" key press to traverse the modal. This was a missed use case for the last focused element being div and tabindex as 0 combined with using a custom template which doesn't have close button. This has been resolved.
INC-146223 · Issue 604464
Date column filter shows correct date/time for optimized code
Resolved in Pega Version 8.5.3
Two issues were seen when filtering a table that had the "Optimize Code" checkbox checked: 1) While filtering the date values in the table, the table showed one day less than the actual date based on time zone differences. When both the operator and server time zones are the same, the issue did not occur. 2) The filter always showed the time value as 00.00 irrespective of the property time stamp value. These were traced to the pyModes being incorrect for embedded properties, which has been resolved.

Added parameter skipPropertyEvaluation to handle CSS in email HTML
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
While sending an email with custom HTML appended to the email body, a "+" sign in the body was causing the correspondence generation to fail. Investigation showed that if there were CSS classes with braces in the message body, the braces were being removed and replaced via "+" symbol in step 21 of CorrCreate activity. To resolve this, a new Boolean parameter skipPropertyEvaluation has been added in the CorrCreate activity to handle the decision to either evaluate the logic or not, and the pre-requisite will be to resolve all the property references before calling this activity so custom CSS braces { } will be honored when the message body is sent.
INC-140266 · Issue 602076
Search made consistent across environments
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
Search was behaving differently based on whether the user was launching the search by clicking the search icon or hitting enter directly. The search icon passed the classes list and fetched cases based on that, whereas hitting enter performed the search without the classes list unless it was a multi-tenant environment. This has been resolved by updating the pyWorkIDSearch activity to pass application classes list in any environment.

Updated timestamp handling for duplicate key issue with PyCompleteAutomation
Resolved in Pega Version 8.4.4
Occasionally a robot failed to complete a case due to a duplicate key exception. This was an issue with the History record creation due to duplicate key erlated to the timestamp, and has been resolved by updating the timestamp handling so that the REST API will use 'getCurrentTimeStampUnique' and for other cases 'pxGetCurrentTimeStampThreadUnique' will be used.

Make sure your source is reliable so you don't get sucked in to scams and gimmicks. This article provides several marketing tips that are both relevant and helpful.
If you've made the decision to start a multilevel marketing endeavor, you must think about who you are partnering with and what kind of compensation they have offered you. This will help you to determine whether or not you are getting paid the right amount for the work you put in.
Celebrate your successes, and learn from your failures. Study your failures and understand where you went wrong. By studying your failures, you allow yourself to move past them and improve in the future. Likewise, those strategies that prove successful can be repeated.
Multilevel Marketing
While you should build a site for multilevel marketing, you may find that even a social networking site would be a great start. Something as basic as a blog could do the trick when it comes to multilevel marketing. Alternatively you could create your own website, or take advantage of existing social networking outlets. A cyber presence is key to increasing the size of your network. A frequently updated, attractive and interesting blog will also help.
When planning your weekly schedule, include some time for family and friends, so you can escape from the stress of your job and maintain healthy relationships. In the beginning, expect that your business will demand more of your time. Once it is established though, be sure to write in time for yourself and your loved ones.
When aiming to have success in your particular multi-level marketing tactics, you should aim to lead others. Creativity can lead to a large following and improve your overall reputation. A unique approach could increase your sales and even prompt imitation by jealous competitors. Do not copy someone, be original!
You need to be an expert on the products you sell. You want customers to see how passionate you are about what you are selling. If they see the excitement you generate, they will believe in you and the network. If you learn about the product enough, you will have an easier time being truthful and genuine when giving reviews to future client.
The first step is to work out a budget on a monthly basis. Find out what you can afford to invest in your MLM business for it to continue running strong. You must be able to afford to maintain your budget without taking any money away from your company for the first few months.
Consider looking in other areas for business professionals whom you can invite to join your network. These types of people, who have worked in sales or on commission tend to have good self motivation and are already used to having the effort put forth coincide with the amount of success they achieve. These types of people are also much easier to recruit than other types of people.
Set up your multilevel marketing website as if it were teaching viewers, or as if the site was a tutorial on your company or methods. Providing clear, easy-to-follow tutorials and how-tos can boost traffic and encourage visitors to spend more time perusing your site. When you have more traffic and people spending more time on your site, the chance that you will pick up some new members in your network will rise, and this will work to increase your advertising revenue.
Think outside the proverbial "box" whenever you are writing copy. Make sure that all aspects are covered.
MLM is crucial, and it must be treated as a proper business. One of the most common causes for failure is neglecting to take oneself seriously. Multilevel marketing involves a good deal of work, and it can easily become a successful full-time job if the right amount of effort is put in. Train yourself by learning as much as you can, and take advantage of any official training offered by your company.
You can create a multi-level marketing campaign that meets your needs, if you apply the suggestions you have read in this article. You can succeed in network marketing by implementing proven techniques and innovative strategies.

DEAR JOAN: Our condo backs up to a canyon that is quite wide and deep. There is perhaps an eighth of an acre of uncut fescue grass between the canyon and our back deck. We often see wildlife here.
One afternoon we were standing at a picture window looking at the scenery when a coyote came out of the trees on the hill to our left and slowly made his way down the hill to the fescue, where he began to hunt for mice or voles. We have seen coyotes hunt in this fescue many times over the 15 years I have lived here.
Then I heard a quail call, and a large covey — about 28 of them — came walking toward the coyote between the edge of the canyon and the fescue. I wanted to shout a warning, however, neither the quail nor the coyote seemed to be aware of each other.
The coyote was coming slowly toward the quail but kept to his hunting. When the quail and the coyote were only about 12 to 15 feet apart, the quail suddenly seemed to notice the coyote for the first time and the coyote finally seemed to notice them. It made a lunge toward the quail.
The quail panicked and several flew into a nearby oak tree, but most remained on the ground and only moved a short distance away. The coyote showed no further interest in the quail, turned, walked under the tree and down into the canyon out of sight. Most of the quail quickly ran down the hill as if chasing the coyote. Three quails — one male and two females — did not follow the rest of the covey. They stood frozen like statues on the ground beneath the tree and stayed that way for 20 or 30 minutes.
This was the strangest behavior we've ever seen.
John Cassidy
Walnut Creek
DEAR JOHN: Quail, when faced with a threat, either flush or freeze.
The ones that flew into the tree chose to flush, and the others chose to freeze and blend into their surroundings. The coyote probably didn't even see them.
The three that remained must have sensed some other danger, unseen by you. Perhaps a hawk was also nearby, or another coyote was lurking in the underbrush.
It is unusual for them to stay frozen that long, but they weren't going to move until they felt it was safe.
Stray dog update
Last week, I wrote about a dog that had been living for months on Concord streets. Neighbors had been feeding her and trying to capture her.
Last week, I had a note from a pet lover who said the dog, an Australian shepherd mix, was now in the shelter and facing euthanasia by week's end if someone didn't save her.
I then had an email from Rick Golphin, deputy director for Contra Costa County Animal Services, and I'm pleased to say that I was misinformed about shelter procedures. Rick says that decisions on animals are not made that quickly.
An animal is held for a time to see if its owners claim it, and then evaluated for adoption suitability.
Rick says chances are good this little survivor will be placed up for adoption.
Rescue animals who have known so much hardship in their lives deserve a good home, and they will love you all the more for saving them.
There is a perception that shelter animals are somehow damaged or less worthy. Not true. They are loving animals that have been dealt a bad hand, and we have the opportunity to stack the deck in their favor. Adopt a rescue animal.

Reign Rally Comes Up Short as Condors Prevail 3-2Feb 12, 2016
Nic Dowd scored late in the third period, but it was not enough as the Ontario Reign (28-12-3-1) fell to the Bakersfield Condors (22-18-2-2), 3-2, in front of a sellout crowd of 9,491 on Friday night at Citizens Business Bank Arena.
"We've been playing a heavy game," said Head Coach Mike Stothers. "I like the way they play down low and take pucks to the net … the last two games we had 91 shots and we've had great scoring chances. We've been doing some things. It's just not happening."
The Condors struck early in the first period when Anton Slepyshev tucked the puck past netminder Michael Houser at 5:32. Ontario tied it up at 14:40 on the power play when Justin Auger scored from the top right corner for his 11th goal of the season. DefensemenVincent LoVerde and Jeff Schultz picked up the assists. Throughout the frame, the Reign dominated in shots, leading Bakersfield 20-7 at the end of the period.
In the middle stanza, both teams traded chances in the offensive zone with the Condors reclaiming the lead at 19:59 on a goal from forward Jujhar Khaira.
Forward Rob Klinkhammer potted his seventh goal of the season 19 seconds into the third period to extend the Condors lead to two. Ontario pressured hard in the final minutes of play and cut the deficit at 18:58 on Dowd's goal from the point. Defenseman Christian Ehrhoff picked up the assist while forward Adrian Kempe earned the secondary. The Reign continued to tack on more shots into the final seconds, but came up short as time expired.
"You got to have guys that score goals," said Dowd. "It's not enough to have 50-40 shots in the net and not score, but I think we have all been playing really well."
In the loss, Houser made 14 saves on 17 attempts, while netminder Anders Nilsson recorded 37 stops on 39 shots.
