At least that's according to a report by the UK-based business adviser, Willis Towers Watson.
The 2016 Global 50 Remuneration Planning Report ranked the average salaries paid for full-time, entry-level jobs – those usually aimed at recent graduates or people who have recently finished specific training courses.
Among the 15 western European nations ranked, Italy came last – paying an average gross salary of €27,400 a year.
The figure marks a stark contrast with Switzerland, which ranked in first place, paying an average pre-tax salary of a whopping €83,600.
Italy's closest counterparts were Spain, where entry-level workers can expect to take home €30,700, and France, where average earnings were slightly better at €33,400.
After the Swiss, the Danes were the next most handsomely paid – taking home an average of €51,400 a year. Germany and Norway came fourth and fifth, respectively, with average salaries of €45,800 and €45,800 a year.
Italy's inability to pay its young workers competitive wages is one of the key factors driving the 'brain-drain'.
Every year thousands of skilled Italians leave the country, enticed by the higher wages and better opportunities on offer abroad.
But it's not all doom and gloom. Those who stay – and manage to find a job – see their earnings increase considerably as their career progresses, according to the report.
In terms of net salaries paid to workers in middle-management positions, Italy was ranked a more respectable 11th place out of the 15 countries – with average gross salaries of €70,900 per year.
That's higher than wages paid for similar roles in northern European powerhouses Sweden (€68,300) and Finland (€64,100).

The Marriott Autograph Collection, Civic Hotel officially opened on Wednesday, becoming the first hotel in Surrey's new City Centre. While the hotel is now accepting bookings after being delayed for months, much of the building remains under construction. Aside from the condominium and KPU portions of the building which are expected to open later this year, the hotel's outdoor pool, fitness centre, spa, and rooftop amenity spaces are also yet to open. Dominion Bar + Kitchen did open along with the hotel however, and has already become a hot spot bustling with activity. Prado Cafe while close to completion, is expected to open in the coming weeks.
As for the hotel's lobby fronting onto Civic Plaza, the high columned ceilings, beautiful detailing, woodwork, art, and lounge spaces create a strong sense of place, flooded with natural light through the podium's glass curtain wall. The Prado Cafe blends in seamlessly with the lobby, rather than functioning as a stand-alone cafe like their other locations.
Already, only being open a few days, the hotel and restaurant has brought new energy to the area, which will only grow once the rest of the building opens, and bookings begin to fill up for hotel guests and conferences. Bookings for rooms, as well as meetings and other events can be made through the Civic Hotel website https://civichotel.ca. More info on Dominion Bar + Kitchen can be found at https://dominionkitchen.com

Volume 3 Num. 1 - June 2003
?Los Turistas se Divierten, los Inmigrantes Trabajan?: Una Descripci?n de Dos Grupos Sociales a Trav?s del Dibujo Infantil [Tourists Have Fun, Inmigrants Work: a Description of Two Social Groups Through Children Drawing]
Volume 3 Num. 1 - June 2003 - Pages 59-79
M? Carmen Garc?a, Marisol Navas and Isabel Cuadrado , ,
Considering drawing like children?s representation of reality, the main objective of this paper was to test a categorization system (adapted by Gamradt, 1995), to know the features used by a sample of children from Southern Spain to describe two groups with high presence in the area: immigrants and tourists. 673 children (54% boys and 46% girls) from third and fourth grade (Age mean=8.72; SD=0.7) took part in the study. The results show that children attribute distinctive features to both groups. Immigrants are drawn like ?men?, ?working?, and with some references to their race/ethnic. Tourists are drawn in ?beach/sea? or ?entertainment/rest situations?, representing both sexes and different ages (children and adults). Our results support the idea that children make use of social categories to classify people in groups and to give meaning to their context. Likewise, we found some indications of validity to drawing?s categorization system.
Key words:
immigrants, tourists, drawings, children, categorization system.

Setting up Abroad
The challenge of international expansion comes with compelling growth opportunities for a company seeking to advance and expand, even with an awareness of the risks that such ventures carry. Furthermore, in addition to planning the company's operations abroad, an international expansion project needs to include plans for learning a new culture, language and lifestyle.
It is highly desirable and recommended to appoint a manager who will move to the location to start up and run the subsidiary. This will make it possible to understand operational details, in terms of both work processes and legal requirements.
The decision to work with a local partner is a crucial one that the entrepreneur will have to make in order to ensure the project's short- and long-term success.
Another key to success: building and sustaining relationships with every stakeholder who can affect the project. Among other things, this is needed for effective handling of any local issues, because it enables the right measures to be taken at a reasonable cost.
In some cases, local people perceive the new company as a source of wealth and opportunity for themselves and their families. Their cooperation is immediate, and in return they expect either employment or assistance. Ongoing contact with the home embassy is also crucial, as is contact with other expatriates living in the area and who have a solid understanding of local customs and lifestyles.
As foreigners, we look at a situation with fresh eyes, allowing us to identify the growth potential for our products and services, as well the resulting opportunities. In addition, we need strong local partners in order to channel the necessary human and financial efforts for achievement of goals and minimization of risks. In order to succeed, this kind of necessary partnership requires shared corporate and social values. The expatriate manager plays a key role as a representative of the foreign investor. This person is the eyes and ears of the leader back in Canada, and works to ensure smooth operations and the achievement of results, while also maintaining a strong relationship with the partner.
The transfer of Canadian expertise and skills to local employees is essential for the survival and growth of a foreign subsidiary.
It is also necessary for the company to be a good corporate citizen and take on a social role in the host community.
At the same time, expatriate managers and their families will gradually adjust to the local way of life through various activities with locals and fellow expatriates. Without renouncing one's values, it is still necessary to accept that in the host country, things are done differently, whether in the personal or professional spheres. It is a sign of respect for the culture, and also a way to stack the odds in favour of a successful foreign expansion.

The Family
The family unit can be a major source of conflict for a family company. On the one hand, the successor for the top job is most likely to be a family member, while on the other hand family members' interests and objectives can be divergent.

It took three years, three years before I could finally pick up my permit. This water only allows 14 members, luckily since last week I'm one of them. There is something that keeps me pulling towards this water.
I spend multiple nights here without a permit. I went as basic as possible with a sleeping bag, two rods and a bag. A quick session from 10:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. and that was it. This made it one big adventure. Every car light that I saw could be the forest ranger and then it all would be over for me on this water.
During all these sessions I haven't caught a pearl yet! During spawning season I had been able to study the stock pretty well. Now I know for sure that there are two really big commons and two pearls of a mirrors swimming here. One linear and one "half" fully scaled.
After I finally had the permit, I directly started my first short overnighter. "Instant?", some may say but personally this is one of my strongest qualities. I had plenty of confidence.
I decided to go relatively on time to the water, so I could put a little more effort in directing my lines out. This was the first time that I went with a boat on the water. After I found some clean spots next to a nice lily field, I knew it for sure; This is the spot! I put my second rod in tricky between two fields of lilies. I was hoping that they would swim from one to the other.
Usually I use a lot of hemp during my instant short overnighters. This time I didn't used it, because there's a lot of bream. I fed about 100 grams boilies and the same amount of crushed boilies. After I put out my third rod nearby I could finally sit down on my chair.
It has definitely been one year since I fished an overnighter on this water. The water contains some really nice pearl. In 2006 a friend of mine hooked a beautiful linear carp of 24 pounds, I've seen multiple nice mirrors including a "half" fully scaled around 20-30 pounds. These are already two targets I would like to catch.
Around 04:00 a.m. the bite alarm went off like crazy, as an over-enthusiastic Usain Bolt I started to run towards my rod that was put out near the lilies. The feeling was great but I practically immediately felt that the fish was stuck. I quickly jumped in the boat and started the search for the fighter on the other end of the line. Shortly after that I saw a shadow between the lily fields this is going to be a tough job!
After 20 minutes and multiple scoop attempts I finally got it in my net. A small relief in the middle of the night, it wasn't a target but still a nice fish to start with during my first overnighter. I put out my rod again and after the photo's in the early morning I would release the beautiful common again.
Around 05:30 a.m. I got a take again but after a short drill the line snapped. For a moment I was stunned and disappointed, how could this happen? I'm bummed out that the rig is still in the carp. Frustrated I decide that I'm not going to rig up my rod again. I was wide awake so I decided to immediately take a picture with the fish in the morning sun.
Around six I of course as the true "bream king" caught a fantastic copy out of the category dirty and slimy. Two more hours go by and without any sign of carp, that's why I decided to start packing my gear. I decided that I was definitely coming back here for another overnighter. Two takes and one fish are fine knowing that my target fishes might come by.
After making a bucket of five kilo crushed boilies mixed with a couple whole 15mm and 20mm citrus-banana boilies. I decided to feed a long strip so next time I can fish there with two rods and use my third rod as instant rod. Hereafter the hard working begins again. I packed everything in the car.
I look back on this great first session with a good feeling and of course you'll get a new blog from the next pre-fed session.
Until next time,
Bas Baks

Many of my readers will no doubt recall the case of Mass Poisoner Gamekeeper Alan Lambert. This opting by 'Raptor Persecution Scotland' blog will surprise many. A totally unbelievable outcome to the case, presided over by district judge peter Veits.
Gamekeeper Allen Lambert, convicted of mass raptor poisoning at Stody Estate, Norfolk, has been given a 10 week suspended sentence for poisoning 11 raptors (suspended for one year), a six week suspended sentence for possession of firearms and dead buzzards (suspended for one year) and has been ordered to pay £930 prosecution costs and an £80 victim surcharge.
This sentence will infuriate many. Lambert's crimes contributed to one of the worst incidents of mass raptor poisoning in the UK. Although it's not the worst incident, it's right up there near the top of the list and is certainly the worst mass poisoning of raptors uncovered in England.
District Judge Peter Veits said Lambert's crimes 'had crossed the custody threshold' but his sentence would be suspended. Why? Sentencing is supposed to serve two purposes. It's supposed to be a deterrent, not only to the convicted criminal, but also to others…

~ Special Excerpt ~
Cursed by a witch, Ian O'Meara has been trapped between the world of the living and the spirit realm for the last hundred and fifty years. Annoyed by having his eternity interrupted by amateur ghost hunters, he reaches through the veil to Emma Boulton, knowing she can see and hear him even if the others can't. When he discovers she can also feel him, he decides Emma is the most exciting thing to happen to him in the last century. Suddenly, escaping his miserable curse isn't quite so appealing.
Much to her dismay, Emma has been able to see ghosts ever since she was a child. Most of the time she ignores them, but Ian makes that all but impossible. With his dark good looks and his brooding personality, he's a gothic novel hero come to life...so to speak. She knows she should help him toward the light, but the only place he seems to be interested in is her bed. Falling in love with the charming spirit is all too easy, but is a future together possible between the living and the dead?

Monday Window – 44
Holiday Window
Some four years ago I presented a workshop on some of the surprisingly powerful tools in Microsoft Office Word by creating a holiday greeting card as the demonstration. The presentation used a photo of the "Tenant House" at McDaniel Farm Park in Duluth, Georgia. In a "Thursday Doors" post, Four modest doors, I already showed this charming old building. For the holiday season the park decorates the building with a holiday wreath on the door. I used a photo from November 2011 for my card, actually a modified version that came out of a cloning tool demo (see rocks under the house in the finished card? – Cloned!).
The workshop taught how to draw rectangles over the window panes in Paint, then in Word how to insert another photo of a Christmas tree. How to place the tree photo so it is underneath with the window panes made transparent. The powerful text tools in Word provided the greeting overlay. And there you have a "holiday window", festive and friendly. Happy Holidays!

When working on a project, presentation, or a blog you contribute to, everyone finds him or herself searching the Internet for media. However, with all of this content out in the web, it is important to credit those whose work you use. Using or altering someone's media that is protected under copyright is punishable by law and can result in heft fines. This has happened recently to people that don't check with the licensing of pictures or music they use, and this chapter should help protect you against someone else using your work when you don't want them to, or accidentally using someone else's work. There are resources available on the web now that make it easy to license your work under many different restrictions, and search engines that specifically look for licensed work. Here I will explain three main resources, Creative Commons, Flickr Commons and Wikimedia Commons.
Creative Commons
Licenses Available
There are six different licenses you can obtain from CC and they are described here in order of most lenient to most strict.
Attribution: Others can use, remix, and build upon your work as long as you get credit for original creation.
Attribution-ShareAlike: Others can use, remix, and build upon your work as long as you get credit for the creation, and it is licensed under the exact same name.
Attribution-NoDerivs: Others can use your media as long as it is unchanged and you are given credit for it.
Attribution-NonCommercial: Others can use, remix, and build upon your work as long as it is for non commercial purposes and you are given credit for it.
Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike: Others can remix and build upon your work as long as it is for a non-commercial purpose and you are given credit for it.
Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs: Others can only use your work if you are given full credit for it, it is for non commercial purposes and it is unchanged.
Creative Commons Searching
Creative Commons also has a link on their main page for you to explore works that are creative commons licensed. You can either search for something you can use for commercial purposes, something you can modify, or both. When you enter something on this page it will look in the databases of one of 13 search engines, depending on which one you choose. Among these search engines are Wikimedia Commons and Flickr Commons (explained later). This page makes it very clear that the results returned may not actually be CC licensed, and you should look into it further if you see the need to.
Flickr Commons
Flickr Commons is a community to share pictures between users online, specifically ones that have been licensed under Creative Commons. The ease of use of Flickr Commons is fairly easy and returns a lot of results. Here is a step-by-step guide of how you can search for works that will not get you sued for re-using. I will be searching for Pomeranians.
- Type in your search query in the upper right hand corner. You will see results, and now click the pull down menu at the upper left and select "The Commons."
- Although you have clicked "The Commons" you must still make sure the results have creative commons licenses. Now click advanced search to the right of the pull down menu.
- At the bottom of the next page you must check the box to "Only search within Creative Commons-licensed content."
- Now when you look at a picture make sure that under the description there is a phrase saying something like "Some rights reserved." If it says this then you know it is registered with a license that just needs to be understood before you do anything with it.
Wikimedia instructions
Wikimedia Commons is another search engine to find pictures that you are allowed to share and remix. It is slightly more easy to use than Flickr in terms of how easy you can find works that are available to use, but it does not have as many pictures in it's databases yet as Flickr. Here are the steps to Use Wikimedia Commons.
- On the homepage, enter your search in the search bar in the upper right hand corner. I will search for Sleeping Bear Dunes.
- The search results will appear like this, and you just need to click on one you like.
- Next the picture will be enlarged with some information below it, looking like this, under the heading Licensing. Read this to determine what you are free to do and under what conditions you must follow.
Compared to Google, these three search engines are much safer options to keep you from being on the wrong end of a legal battle, and after following along in this chapter you should be familiar with how to use them and not be scared away simply because you are more used to Google. I recommend using all three of these options when searching for media, and briefly here I describe some simple advantages and disadvantages I find with using each one of their search engines.
Flickr Commons Positives: A lot of users, connected with Yahoo
Flickr Commons Negatives: Many steps to get to specifically creative commons licensed photos
Wikimedia Commons Positives: Few steps to see how a picture is licensed, familiar layout to Wikipedia
Wikimedia Commons Negatives: Currently few pictures, must look for well known landmarks or people
Creative Commons Positives: Shows you many search engine options, including music search engines (Flickr and Wikimedia do not have music)
Creative Commons Negatives: Does not look in all search engines at once, you must know which one to look in
All in all, the idea of licensing your work is much more common now than it used to be and I believe that these three search engines will continue updating their sites and will continue to receive more content from users. As they receive more content our ability to successfully search for appropriately licensed media will become easier.
Wikimedia, http://commons.wikimedia.org, this is the wikimedia site that I searched sleeping bear dunes on
Flickr, http://www.flickr.com, this is where I found pictures in the commons section of Flickr
Creative Commons, http://creativecommons.org/about, this is where I found information on who uses Creative Commons
Creative Commons, http://search.creativecommons.org/, this is the search page for creative commons

Who Abandoned These Three Boeing 747s?
Malaysian authorities are looking for the jumbo jets' rightful owners.
The lost and found at Kuala Lumpur International Airport is a particularly intriguing place. Mostly because it contains three giant Boeing 747 cargo jets. This week, KLIA authorities posted a newspaper advertisement looking for the rightful owners of the derelict jets, which cost $360 million apiece off the assembling line, and have been sitting in three separate parking bays for over a year.
According to Bloomberg News, Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd. placed an advertisement Monday in the nation's best-selling English daily asking for the "untraceable" owners to come and collect them.
The advertisement went on to warn the mysterious parties that they have just 14 days to raise their hands before the planes are placed on the auction block.
"We have been in communication with the so-called owner, but they have not been responding to take away the aircraft," Zainol Mohd, who placed the ad, told Bloomberg. "That's why we go through this process to legalize whatever actions we want to take. We want to clear the area, we want to utilize our parking bay."
Boeing built its first 747 more than 40 years ago, and, despite a sales slump in the increasingly competitive jumbo jet market, recently announced that it was sticking to its production plans. At least 143 older freighters will need to be replaced, Boeing says and sees demand for 540 very large aircraft over the next 20 years. Competitor, Airbus sees a market for 1,551 such planes.

Independent filmmakers are looking in the Bay Area for their next star -- and he must be Afghan. Or Afghan-looking.
The makers of "The Fixer" -- directed by Ian Olds and starring James Franco -- are hosting an open casting call from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 16, in Fremont to find the actor to portray its lead character, Osman.
The film is about a 28-year-old former war journalist who accepts a job as a "petty crime reporter" at a small newspaper in a bohemian town in Northern California. His experiences in Afghanistan behind him, he nonetheless becomes drawn into conflict when he tries to turn his "menial job" overseeing the police blotter into something bigger.
We'll let the producers explain: In Osman's new town, "sex is casual, true friendship is hard to come by, and an unfamiliar form of violence burbles up all around him."
The film is written and directed by Olds, a journalist by trade, and Osman will star opposite Franco and Melissa Leo.
Those interested in the role should show up at 39155 Liberty St. in Fremont between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Bring a photo of yourself you don't mind giving away, a pen, and a resume. Wait times will be determined by turnout.
"No experience necessary!" the casters say. "If you have an instinct to try, just come!"
Filming is scheduled to begin in California this summer.

Getting ready requires spare parts. Here are the little ones. Some will be going onto Razzo now. Some will just come along in case something breaks. I will be adding a headlight and spark plug too.
Drain plug O-rings, Variator and Clutch nuts. Always better to start with new ones.
Vacuum fuel pump. Russ had one go out so it goes into the spare parts bag.
When you run stock exhaust, you need these. I had one go out during day one last time.
Bendix, part of the starter. This was purchased because Vanessa's is going out.
I may hold off installing it on that one and carry it as a spare.
I lost one of these clear air filter box cups recently.
I got two, one to replace the missing piece, the other as a spare.

It is vital that we realize some things are so important that our eternal destiny depends on getting it right. It is equally important to know there are many things we can be mistaken about and it not affect our eternity at all. To make something that is a heaven and hell issue into a matter of judgment is dangerous and can put us into the place of the religious leaders in Jesus day to would bind hand washing but unbind honoring father and mother (Matthew 15:1-9). To take something like eating foods and getting married that God left as matters of liberty and forbid them was to speak for the devil and fall from grace (I Timothy 4:1-4). So it is vital to leave what God placed as a heaven and hell issue as one and to leave things he put as matters of judgment and conscience where he placed them. It is often amazing that we are ready to have a conniption if someone says we don't really have to do something God said do but see no problem when a church, a preacher or some group makes demands that God never made. It doesn't make any difference which side of the road a person runs off of, whether it is the right or left, when they run off the road they are still in the ditch.
Look a little closer with me to some things in Romans 14. "Accept the one whose faith is weak, without quarreling over disputable matters." In chapter 15:1 he will say, "We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves." So the first question that should draw our attention is, "Who are these people who are weak in their faith?" Most folks I know think of themselves as the strong in the faith and those who differ with them as the weak. What does God lead Paul to say in this text about who the weak ones are? "One person's faith allows them to eat anything, but another, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables." Did you notice that the ones who are weak are the folks who feel they must be very careful about what they eat. They eat only vegetables. God said they are weak in their faith. When our faith in the Lord becomes so restrictive that we tend to see something wrong with just about everything that comes along it doesn't mean we are strong in our faith. It means we are weak. He went on to describe the weak as folks who made a distinction between different days and the strong saw every day as alike.
What are we to do with folks in the church where we worship and serve who feel like there is something wrong with just about everything that is in any way different from what was done in the country church where they grew up fifty years ago? Here is God's answer: "Accept them." See them as weak in faith and love them, encourage them to grow and become stronger.
But, don't allow their weakness to become the standard by which you run the church! Don't allow those matters that are so tormenting to the weak to become the primary topic for the church to study. We can so easily get caught up in a discussion that tends to divide rather than pull us together. When we let some issue that is the domain of the weak become a dividing tool in the church we are letting the devil take control. But God had Paul to say, "The one who eats everything (The strong) must not treat with contempt the one who does not (The weak) and the one who does not eat everything (The weak) must not judge the ones who does (The strong), FOR GOD HAS ACCEPTED THEM." Who has God accepted? He has accepted both the strong and the weak so don't let Satan pull us apart. Notice he said to accept them but not to have quarreling over disputable matters. Don't let someone who is weak in faith and sees something wrong with everything become a leader or spokesmen in the church. It will divide the Lord's church and lead a whole area to see the church as a bunch of cranks who can't get along over anything.
This just doesn't sound workable does it? It seems so against the way we humanly feel and think. We want to straighten everyone out. We want to get them to see it as we do. Some times it is true that "Satan has blinded the eyes of some that they cannot see." There are also lots of times that we close our own eyes to keep from seeing anything that doesn't feel right to us because it is different. Paul challenged the church in Thessalonica to put everything to the test and hold on to what is good.
Paul continued, "Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To their own master, servants stand or fall. And they will stand, for the Lord is able to make them stand." It would probably be a good thing for us all to go back and read that again. God wants the strong and the weak in the church. He wants us to talk to each other and even confront each other on different matters, leaving ourselves open that we might be able to see something differently if we listen to those who differ from us. We are all the Lord's servants, not slaves of a movement or servants of past generations. We aren't servants of what some preachers have said. We aren't slaves of what the churches around us say and believe. We all are servants of the Lord and he will handle the judging for us. Thank God none of us have to stand before each other to be judged. We get to stand before Jesus who wants us saved and with him in heaven so badly that he would go to the cross to make it so. We serve the Lord who is our judge, who is able to make all of us stand if we will let him. Sometimes we become so intent on standing on our own two feet that we don't feel the need of having Jesus make us stand. It is wise to fall on our face before him who paid it all and wonder how in the world he could save and accept someone like me.
(In the next issue we will continue to see the message of Romans 14. It is amazing)

Income Statement reflects the net profit or loss from the business activities for a particular accounting period. On the other hand, cash flow statement keeps a record of overall changes in the cash and cash equivalents of the business organization during a particular financial year.
Financial Statement refers to the official record of the financial activities and the overall position of the business entity. It is the final destination of the whole process of accounting, which comprises of the income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement. It is helpful to the interested parties in knowing the profitability, liquidity, performance and position of business. Check out the article provided to you, as it breaks down all the important differences between income statement and cash flow statement.

Definition of Income Statement
The income statement is one of the major parts of the financial statement. It is used to represent the revenues, gains, expenses and losses from operating and non-operating activities of the company. When the total revenues (including gains) exceed the total expenses, then the result would be the net income while if the total expenses (including losses) exceed total revenues, then the result would be the net loss.
Here operating activities state the activities which are related to the day-to-day business of the company like manufacturing, purchasing, selling and distribution of goods and services. Non- operating activities means the activities which are related to purchase or sale of investments, assets, payment of dividend; taxes; interest and foreign exchange gains or losses.
Definition of Cash Flow Statement
The cash flow statement is also an important part of the financial statement of a company. It is used to represent the cash inflows and outflows during the year from operating, investing and financing activities. The statement reflects the position of cash and cash equivalents at the beginning and end of the accounting year. It shows the movement of cash during the period.
Here operating activities include the basic activities of the company like manufacturing, purchasing, selling and distribution of goods and services. Investing activities include the purchase and sale of investments and assets. Financing activities include the issue and redemption of shares or debentures and other financing activities related to the dividend, interest, etc.
Key Differences Between Income Statement and Cash Flow Statement
The points given below are noteworthy, so far as the difference between cash flow and income statement is concerned:
- The major difference between an income statement and cash flow statement is cash, i.e. the income statement is based on an accrual basis (due or received) while the cash flow statement is based on the actual receipt and payment of cash.
- The income statement is classified into two main activities operating and non-operating, whereas the cash flow statement is divided into three activities operating, investing and financing.
- The income statement is helpful in knowing the profitability of the company, but the cash flow statement is useful in knowing the liquidity and solvency of business which determines the present and future cash flows.
- Incomes statement is based on accrual system of accounting, wherein incomes and expenses of a financial year are considered. On the other hand, cash flow statement is based on cash system of account, which only considers actual money inflows and outflows in a particular financial year.
- The income statement by to taking into account various records and ledger accounts. As against this, cash flow statement is prepared considering the income statement and balance sheet.
- Depreciation is considered in the income statement, but the same is excluded from cash flow statement because it is a non-cash item.
The preparation of the income statement and the cash flow statement is mandatory for all business organisations. The two statements are used by the readers (stakeholders, i.e. creditors, investors, suppliers, competitors, employees, etc.) of financial statement to know about the company's performance, stability and solvency position. These statements are also used for the purpose of internal and tax audit.

Nya–Driving The Nails In
Driving The Nails In
Released: 5th November
Bursting back onto the scene with their all-new line-up, Nya are set to release their second EP Driving The Nails In. Already building up a busy schedule, the band are setting themselves to go beyond their horizons in the coming months.
The EP begins with the violent churning of guitars on Back To You that helps the vocals boom out like a metallic explosion. The riffs have their melodic and catchy moments as well, creating some memorable hooks through the song. You Are belts out with an uplifting riff that really hook's your ears and keeps your attention when the vocals gently but powerfully echo out. The drums prove to be a driving force throughout the song, co-operating well with the bass sections and completing the track with a certain grace.
The third track, Open Your Eyes, is an interesting one. Taking a softer approach but still proving to be a hard rocking number with some catchy hooks and acute rhythm sections, the song drives into your ears with a poignant amount of majesty and strength. The poetically titled Choir Invisible displays a use of punchy riffs blended with divine sounding vocals. The EP ends with the title track, Driving The Nails In, which provides a completely new and somewhat alternative sound on the EP. Throwing heavy riffs and domineering drums into the fray with Olympian vocals and the band's brilliant use of catchy hooks, Driving The Nails In is certainly the track that stands out the most on the EP.
I think it's safe to say that Nya have pulled another great release out of the bag – Possibly better than their debut EP. Each track wails out with the band's own sound that will no doubt hook the listener and keep them playing the EP on repeat for hours on end. No doubt 2013 will have a number of great things in store for Nya.

Companies that distribute food, drugs and other retail items aren't often the most followed companies in the financial markets due to the unexciting nature of their underlying products. Relatively speaking, the media industry does tend to catch a bit more attention than those mentioned before due to rapid technological developments and an inherent level of lucrativeness for those that can operate at scale and can do it well.
The consumer services segment is often underweighted in many portfolios. In this article, we'll take a look at three charts suggesting that this sector could prove to be one worth watching over the coming months and that it deserves to be a core holding for those looking for stable growth during times of growing volatility and geopolitical uncertainty.
iShares U.S. Consumer Services ETF (IYC)
One of the best ways for investors to get a sense of where a major segment of the market is headed is to analyze key exchange-traded products like the iShares U.S. Consumer Services ETF (IYC). As mentioned above, this sector comprises companies that distribute food, drugs, media and other retail items.
As you can see below, the price of the fund has recently closed above the combined support of its 200-day moving average and an influential trendline. The breakout will likely be used by followers of technical analysis as a signal to place a long position as close to current levels as possible in order to take advantage of a lucrative risk-to-reward scenario. Stop-loss orders will likely be placed near $195.85, and it wouldn't be surprising to see a move beyond the psychological $200 mark act as a catalyst for a significant surge in momentum. Short-term price targets will undoubtedly be placed near the 52-week high of $213.17.
The Home Depot, Inc. (HD)
When it comes to the retail home improvement market, the dominant market leader is The Home Depot, Inc. (HD). At 4.91% of the IYC ETF, the position in Home Depot represents the second largest holding, and based on technical analysis, the company's chart is one of the strongest found anywhere in the public markets.
As you can see below, the bulls were able to push the price above the combined resistance of a horizontal trendline and its 200-day moving average. This type of price action is particularly noteworthy for active traders because it represents a shift in the underlying sentiment and now brings the September high of $214.15 into play. With a relatively tight stop loss set below $187.73, the risk-to-reward setup is clearly in the favor of the bulls.
Netflix, Inc.
While there are a lot of competing names in the media space, there are few that are doing it better than Netflix, Inc. (NFLX). Taking a look at the chart below, you can see that the price is currently trading within a clearly defined range, as shown by the dotted trendlines. These levels will undoubtedly be used by followers of technical analysis as guides for future trades. For those willing to take risk, the bullish price action in the rest of the sector could be used as a leading indicator that is pointing to a breakout in the near future. Several consecutive closes above the nearby trendline would likely act as a catalyst for a sharp move higher.
The Bottom Line
While the consumer services sector is one of the most under-followed segments in the market, the chart patterns shown above suggest that it is one worth owning. The leaders from within the sector are top holdings of the IYC ETF and are also household names. The nature of the products is something that most average investors understand and feel comfortable with, which is another reason that a wide range of investors could be interested in buying into the group over the days or weeks ahead.
The clearly identified levels of support and resistance on the charts above could be used as strategic guides for determining the placement of buy and stop orders as well as target prices.
At the time of writing, Casey Murphy did not own a position in any of the assets mentioned.

On October 10, the Supreme Court heard arguments in a case that could spell the end of affirmative action at U.S. universities. Fisher v. University of Texas is a case brought by Abigail Fisher, a white student whose 2008 university application was rejected, she claims, because of her race.
Depending on how the court rules on Fisher next year, the complexion of college campuses could drastically change, particularly at the most competitive schools. Because Title VI of the Civil Rights Act requires all institutions receiving federal funds (which most schools do in the form of student loans and grants) to comply with the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment, private as well as public universities would feel the effects. It's one reason why both Columbia University and Fordham University have filed friend-of-the-court briefs in support of race-based affirmative action.
"A decision overruling affirmative action would be disastrous," says Michael Olivas, the director of the Institute for Higher Education Law and Governance at the University of Houston. "There is simply no substitute for race."
Yet schools will push for a diverse student body, even if the use of racial preferences is outlawed. Many observers predict that if race is outlawed as a factor in admissions, it will give way to a proxy: economic class.
Fisher is just the latest in a long series of court cases attempting to determine where to draw the line on race as a consideration for admission to colleges and universities. The Supreme Court's last major affirmative action ruling, in the 2003 case Grutter v. Bollinger, allowed the continued use of race as one factor in admissions decisions for the purpose of creating diversity.
At the University of Texas, where Fisher was denied admission, race only plays a small direct role in admissions. In 1998, the university instituted a race-neutral "10 percent" plan that fills about 70 percent of its admissions slots. Under the plan, high school students who graduate in the top 10 percent of their class are guaranteed admission to any public university in the state. Because high schools in Texas remain largely segregated, this method has proved effective in ensuring that nonwhite students still have a shot at state universities: UT now ranks sixth in the nation in granting undergraduate degrees to students of color.
For the remaining applicants, UT does a full file review, which includes looking at high school grades, SAT scores, performance on a test that the university administers, recommendations, high school classes taken, quality of high school attended—and, yes, race.
Fisher's lawyers say she does not object to the 10 percent rule. But the Supreme Court is free to strike down any part of UT's admission policy, from the 10 percent rule, which is peculiar to UT, to the use of affirmative action altogether.
"The court doesn't often take cases that are idiosyncratic, so you begin to wonder whether some justices may want to reconsider the basic principle set down in Grutter v. Bollinger," says Lee Bollinger, the president of Columbia University and the defendant in the 2003 case when he was president of the University of Michigan. "That would be a tragedy, and I and others hope that won't happen."
In its friend-of-the-court brief, the University of California presents itself as a cautionary tale of the possible effects of outlawing affirmative action. California ordered its universities to stop using race in admissions in 1996; since then, the percentage of first-year students at UC Berkeley who are African American has fallen from 7.3 percent to 3.5 percent, and at UCLA from 6.7 percent to 3.8 percent. UC says in its brief that none of its alternative efforts—outreach programs, putting less weight on SAT scores, instituting a percentage program, even considering an applicant's life circumstances and family income—have worked.
Bollinger predicts the same will happen to private universities if the Supreme Court strikes down affirmative action. "You will end up with student bodies that look much as they did at any university in the 1960s or '70s," he says.
Deborah Archer, associate dean of academic affairs at New York Law School, sees firsthand the need for classroom diversity. She teaches courses on civil rights and racial discrimination. "If I have a class of 18 white students, one black student, and one Latino, my class can't have a helpful discussion," she says. "What happens is that one black student becomes the spokesperson for the whole race. Students leave thinking that's what all black people think. There has to be a diversity of perspectives in order to have a rich class discussion."
While Bollinger and Archer paint a dire picture of a future without affirmative action, Richard Kahlenberg, a senior fellow at the Century Foundation think tank, holds out hope for economics-based affirmative action. "Universities have put into place a new system," he says. "They don't directly provide a preference based on race, but they are making admissions decisions with an eye to the end result of creating racial and economic diversity."
Kahlenberg argues that economically disadvantaged students deserve a leg up in admissions, but they aren't getting any extra help. He points to a study by the Century Foundation and Georgetown University that found socioeconomic obstacles outweigh those of race on SAT performance. And yet as a study by former Princeton president William Bowen has found, black, Latino, and Native American students get a 28 percent boost in admissions over what would otherwise be expected given their academic records, while low-income students receive none.
Under affirmative action, Kahlenberg says, "universities assemble classes with fairly wealthy students of all races. As long as universities are allowed to use race in admissions, they are unlikely to pay attention to socioeconomic status. Rather than use race as a proxy for disadvantage, a fair system would give the preference based on disadvantage itself. This way, we add economic diversity alongside racial and ethnic diversity."
Kahlenberg co-authored a new Century Foundation report that shows economics-based affirmative action has created diverse campuses at schools where the outlawing of racial preferences initially produced a drop in minority enrollment. UT Austin, University of Washington, and University of Florida, among others, looked at parental income, personal hardship, family responsibilities, status as a first-generation college student, and average SAT score at the applicant's high school. This focus on economic factors has produced at least as much racial and ethnic diversity as racial preferences had in the past.
Richer universities such as Columbia are in the best position to put economics-based affirmative action to work, says Kahlenberg, since they can provide financial aid for students who need it. Yet they have preferred race-based plans, which skew toward admitting more higher-scoring middle- and upper-class students of color: 86 percent of all African-American students admitted to the most selective universities, a subset of whom get in without affirmative action, are from middle- to upper-class families.
In fact, according to Bollinger, Columbia reviews all applications for many factors, including socioeconomics and race. But he warns that looking at socioeconomics alone will not result in a diverse class: "Most people who are from lower socioeconomic standing in the society are white, and if you look only at socioeconomic status of the family, then you will more likely admit a white student than an African-American, Hispanic, or Native American student."
"If your goal is racial representation, then using race is far more efficient," Kahlenberg says. "My argument is that we should be concerned about economic diversity as well, but universities would have to admit some low-income white and Asian students along the way, and that's not something they're interested in doing."
One program that could serve as a model for economics-based affirmative action is New York state's Educational Opportunity Program, which was established in 1967. EOP admits and provides support for economically disadvantaged students who show potential but who do not have all the credentials for admittance to a particular university.
Stony Brook University EOP Director Cheryl Hamilton defines potential as a student who, despite disadvantages, shows the desire to succeed academically. Some EOP students, for example, graduate at the top of their class, but their high schools are under-resourced and might not have provided college-prep work. Hamilton attributes the program's success (its six-year graduation rate is 78 percent) to a structured tutor program and intensive academic counseling that focuses on the unique needs of every student.
Race is not a factor in being admitted to EOP, and yet the program creates diversity because it takes the same approach in reviewing applicants that Kahlenberg advocates. The program looks at extenuating circumstances in the lives of its applicants, including their economic status, whether they attended an under-resourced school, or had to work to support themselves or even their families. (Columbia offers the Higher Education Opportunity Program, the private school version of the program.)
"EOP is open to students [of all races]," explains David L. Ferguson, associate provost for diversity and inclusion at Stony Brook. "However, these programs have a mission to increase the representation of economically disadvantaged and underrepresented students."
Although Stony Brook does not use affirmative action in admissions decisions, Ferguson does believe that race should be considered to foster an environment in which students can examine many different perspectives. "A diversity of people and ideas strikes me as what universities ought to be about," he says. "There are historical patterns of discrimination that have been so egregious that colleges and universities have a responsibility to consider that history in admitting and supporting students."
There is an effort to counter the diversity argument, and Roger Clegg is at the forefront. He's president of the Center for Equal Opportunity, a conservative think tank that focuses on issues of race and ethnicity, in Falls Church, Virginia. Clegg argues that diversity doesn't justify discrimination—especially because, in his view, the educational benefits of diversity are little while the costs, which he says include divisiveness and resentment, are high.
"It's simply untenable to have a legal regime that sorts people according to skin color and treats some people better and other people worse on the basis of which silly little box they check," Clegg says. "More and more it's Asians who are being discriminated against in favor of Latinos. What's the historical justification for that?"
Robert Teranishi, a professor of higher education at New York University and the author of Asians in the Ivory Tower: Dilemmas of Racial Inequality in American Education, says this is an oversimplification. "It's not like universities say we're going to reject student A so we can admit student B," Teranishi says. "It doesn't work that way. Race is just one factor among many that colleges have to take into account. In fact, legacy admits [students given preference for admission to a university because a family member is an alumnus] can be a large portion of incoming students at highly selective schools, and rarely do legacy admits include Asian Americans, blacks, or Latinos."
Eliminating affirmative action forces universities to be more resourceful in getting the students they want. In fact, a few of the universities Kahlenberg studied—UC, Texas A&M, and the University of Georgia—discontinued legacy preferences along with racial preferences. Kahlenberg says that was a positive effect of the ban on race-conscious admissions and that more universities should do the same.
Still, the most qualified minority candidates admitted to the top schools via affirmative action would be most impacted.
If affirmative action is struck down, Orfield worries, and class-based affirmative action becomes the rule, it will be these middle- and upper-class students admitted to top universities under the policy who will lose.
"The top schools in this country produce a disproportionate number of our leaders," Orfield says. "Where you go to school matters a lot."

Alabama filled their offense cordinator opening by hiring a coach from Fresno State. We were mildly upset with the decision as we had some of our own new imaginary ideas for the person to run the Tide offense. We scouted a few new pooners who should have received a closer look.
John Parker Wilson would let er rip if he was able to come off the sidelines to this hot tide pooner.
These smoking pooners are a package deal, committed to a ball control offense.
Shotgun formation and 4 wides are the preference of these sizzling roll tide pooners.
This pooner is a favorite of the Bama head coach, for obvious hat reasons. Her offense style is whatever it takes to score.

PDQDeploy with multiple licenses
If we purchased PDQDeploy with several licenses for our group of technicians, does PDQDeploy allow them to share the repository of jobs/installations? If Tech #1 made a job, can Tech #2 see the job/deploy in his or her console? And is there job status or history, is that also shared?
Thank you!
1 comment
Hi Brian, PDQ Deploy does not share its database, so additional consoles will not be able to see the other deployments. Some of our multi-admin customers will install PDQ on a server and then RDP into it, but this method still limits you to one user at a time.
As far as sharing packages, you can make your package repository on a file share, and then export/import your packages from other users. Since all the packages would point to $(Repository) you wouldn't need to make any changes.

Curate & Craft: A brand storytelling workshop
Come and join me and a few fellow creatives for a day spent at my kitchen table, clarifying your brand and messaging.
"Thank you so much Fiona for such an incredible workshop. I hadn't expected it to be such a wonderful group of supportive like-minded people. What was most valuable was that you were able to dedicate time to each of us individually which was so so helpful. Your advice was fantastic and you helped me to get clarity on things that have just been whirring round in my head for years now. I felt inspired, nourished and ready to move forward when I left."
This was a very informative and interactive workshop. Fiona created a welcoming space for the group to share, contribute, ask questions and find clarity in their brand story. I left feeling inspired and motivated develop my business. Thank you for a great day!
From start to finish I loved Fiona's workshop. I instantly felt very welcomed and at home. I loved Fiona's exercises and walked away with a clear idea of how to tell the story of my brand as an Instagram trainer. I feel much clearer and more confident about why my business offering is unique and how to express that. It also reminded me of how passionate I am about training and I got clear on how to convince clients about the quality and value of my services. The informal and chatty nature of the class was ideal for me. And I loved hearing the other ladies talk about their businesses. I also thought going for a lunch time country walk was genius – it really freshened us up. I came away from the day absolutely buzzing!
Just the workshop
The day's workshop, and email support from me afterwards.
The workshop plus a one-on-one Skype call
After the workshop, whenever you are ready, we will chat over Skype for an hour. We can discuss your brand story in detail, and I can help you with communicating it as well.
Also included in both packages:
- A workbook sent to you a week before the workshop to get you started on thinking about the story of your brand, and to give me a heads up on your business so I can start thinking about how I can help you best.
- Coffee and something sweet on arrival.
- A delicious and healthy lunch from my favourite Frome restaurant, Nook. (I'll send you the menu for you to choose from the week before)
- A short walk after lunch to clear our heads and get our creative juices flowing (I always have my best ideas outside!)
- Email contact afterwards, if you have any questions or would like any feedback on what you've written.

As those of you who have been around a while will remember, we often preview games through Q&A exchanges with bloggers who represent our opponents. This week, our Q&A is with AuditDawg, a genial, insightful UGA fan who most of you have probably met in the comments threads here. Audit runs the fine UGA blog The Hobnail Boot, which you should check out to get his thoughts on UGA football. I'll link to my responses to his questions when they go up.
1. South Carolina's secondary showed some weaknesses against East Carolina. It stands to reason that a QB like Aaron Murray could make the Gamecocks' defensive backs pay, but at the same time the UGA passing game showed flaws of its own against Boise St. What do you expect from this matchup between Murray and the Carolina secondary?
Georgia really struggled to hold its blocks and the wide receivers struggled getting open and hanging onto balls thrown their way against Boise. If the offensive line can get its stuff together and Mike Bobo can figure out a way to get more calls for Malcolm Mitchell (last seen splitting the Boise secondary late in the game) and the tight ends, I believe that Murray could light it up giving the struggles Carolina's secondary has shown last year and last week. As I previously stated though, this is all predicated on the ability of the O-line to keep Murray's jersey clean which I have little to no faith in right now.
2. Isaiah Crowell looked pretty good while sharing carries with Richard Samuel. Do you expect Crowell to get the lion's share of the carries this week? How will he do?
I honestly do believe he'll be the primary ball carrier in this game. Samuel is a Damn Good Dawg for taking one for the team and moving back to the tailback position to shore up lack of depth; however, he's never shown the ability to avoid the tackle and tends to go down on first contact. I think it will be a challenge to pound the ball up the middle just like it was against Boise (which has a top-flight DL like Carolina's). I think for Crowell to be successful, there's going to have to be some plays to get him outside the tackles and maybe some screens. The outside runs were pretty successful for him against Boise. However, given Mike Bobo's track record he will likely run Crowell out of the I-formation on toss sweeps twice in the first series of the game, both of which will go for 12+ yard gains. He will then revert back to the Shotgun formation and try to pound the ball up the middle which will not work at all. He will inexplicably refuse to go back to what was working (citing a need to call an equal amount of pass and run plays because Bobo loves balance for the sake of balance) and Crowell will have a similar stat line to what he did against Boise (15 carries for 60 yards).
3. Year 2 of Todd Grantham's 3-4 defense was supposed to bring decided improvements, particularly with personnel upgrades at key positions. However, Boise St. picked Georgia apart en route to their victory. What do you attribute Boise's success to? How will the Dawgs' D handle Carolina?
It's tough to judge how the defense performed in that Boise game due to who they were facing. Say what you will about Boise, but Kellen Moore is legit and has diced up every defense he's played the past three years like a master surgeon, so I don't hold it against the defense that he was able to pick them apart. It was a weird stat line to review as Moore didn't complete a single pass that covered 20+ yards. This tells me that the Georgia secondary did a good job preventing the big play, but struggled against Moore's accuracy on the short passes. I like Georgia's run defense a lot better this year than last year when Lattimore had his coming out party. The upgrade in size in the middle of the line through the emergence of Kwame Geathers and the signing of John Jenkins certainly was a plus against Boise as the UGA defense really limited what Boise did in the running game holding, Boise's all-world RB to a meager 2.4 YPC. I think the key to the game for Georgia will be similar to the Boise plan. Keep Lattimore in check by plugging the middle of the field and make Garcia beat you. No offense, but the game being on Garcia's shoulders doesn't scare me nearly as much as it did being on Moore's shoulders. In fairness, I still have nightmares from the last meeting in Athens (I know...nightmares from a win seem silly, but bear with me) when Willie Martinez decided that the area in front of the LB's and safety's should be wide open for Spurrier to run crossing patterns with the TE's and WR's and Garcia just dinked and dunked Georgia to death, similar to Moore last week. I can't help but believe that Spurrier will try to exploit that first. If Georgia can cover the short pass, I think the defense can hold the Carolina offense in check. If not, it could be a long night for the Georgia defense.
4. If you could have one player from Carolina's roster, who would it be? Why?
Is it a cop out if I just say offensive line? Personally, I'd take anybody's O-line in the SEC right now over the lineup Georgia is currently trotting out. Based on pure hype alone, I'd love to have Clowney just for the excitement of seeing his high-school tapes (although I figure that this coaching staff would determine that he would better be served playing fullback and would be another wasted talent in Athens - been lots of those the past decade). However, it's hard to deny after the Boise game that there is no true go-to guy on the outside, so I'd have to go with Jeffrey. Moobs or not, he's a proven outside threat and with a shaky O-line, Aaron Murray could really use a sure-thing receiver to throw to this year.

Erie Canal Houseboat Rentals
Spanning 365 miles in length, the Erie Canal was first created in 1825. Since that time, it has become a popular destination for Erie Canal houseboat rentals. From May to November, the canal comes alive as houseboat vacationers and boaters fill the area. You can enjoy sailing across the clear waters or biking along the many trails. No matter what you activities are interested in, you can find them at the Erie Canal.
The Erie Canal is a Top Houseboat Rental Destination
At the Erie Canal's marinas, visitors can find all of the amenities that they need to traverse the waterways. Motor boats can be rented for the day, and houseboat rentals are readily available. Visitors can select from houseboats ranging from basic designs to luxury yachts.
Erie Canal is known for having a range of wildlife parks. The Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge is located in Seneca Falls. Visitors can also check out Niagara Falls and the mighty Adirondacks. Make sure to save some time for the 19th-century canal towns in the area. Many of the Erie Canal's top towns offer ground transportation to local wineries and breweries.
Enhance Your Vacation with Houseboats & History
In 2000, the United States Congress listed the canal as the Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor. Starting in upstate New York, it travels down to Whitehall through 234 different communities. One of the most popular parts is found in the Mohawk Valley. Within the valley, visitors will discover 128 miles of water trail, scenic valleys and farmland. The Erie Canalway also offers bike trails, camp sites and resources for paddlers.
For cycling options, visitors have to check out the Erie Canal Heritage Trail from Buffalo to Lyons. Known for its exceptional beauty, this trail offers level cycling. For a more historic experience, check out the Old Erie Canal route through canal towns and the Chittenango Landing Canal Boat Museum.
History and nature combine for one of the best vacationing experiences. Throughout the Erie Canal, you will discover 34 historic landmarks and canal sites. From the luxurious confines of the houseboat, you can go for a dip or enjoy fishing the smooth waters. While days can be spent hiking and visiting museums, houseboats are the perfect way to spend the evening.

Creating your first Flows
You can find the exported source code for this example at the end of the article - The JSON code contains a line
"msg.payload = 'http://192.168.1.116/param.cgi?cmd=pushhostalarm&-usr=admin&-pwd=instar'; you can already exchange the IP address and camera login with the information used on your personal camera. Also you can see that the CGI command
"name":"/param.cgi?cmd=pushhostalarm" is used in the example. This command will trigger an alert on your INSTAR Full HD Camera - it will not work with HD or VGA cameras! But you can use any other CGI command from our documentation for Full HD, HD and VGA camera models.
"id": "b1aa3b11.229a98",
"type": "function",
"z": "13bcbd83.ab1fe2",
"name": "Alarm",
"func": "msg.payload = 'http://192.168.1.116/param.cgi?cmd=pushhostalarm&-usr=admin&-pwd=instar';\nreturn msg;",
"outputs": 1,
"noerr": 0,
"x": 310,
"y": 160,
"wires": [
Open the import dialogue, paste the code in and click import to submit:
You should be able to see the following flow now:
Let's start reading the flow to understand what is happing here. In the top left you see a node with an icon of a hand pointing up and the title Alarm. This is a UI node that belongs to our dashboard. If you scroll down the list of available nodes on the left, you will also find it in the dashboard section - it is a simple button. It is connected to an MQTT output node with the title Push Alarm. When you double-click the button node, you will see that it carries a payload of
{ "val" : "alarm"}. Double-clicking the MQTT node shows you that this payload is published to
localhost:1880 with a topic of
For information on how to install a MQTT Broker in Windows - please check out our OpenHAB2 Introduction
Unlike the HTTP REST API used to communicate with your camera, MQTT communication is based on a publish and subscription model. Node-RED works as a MQTT broker that receives JSON payloads that are published and makes sure that they are delivered to every client that has a subscription for it. When you double-click the MQTT output node again, you will see a QoS field that is set to the value of 1. QoS stands for Quality of Service. If set to 0 the published message is send once to available clients that are currently reachable. The value 1 signifies that the message is retained by the MQTT broker and whenever a client comes online, that did not receive it yet, it will be resend - making sure that every client is notified about the change. The value 2 would guaranty that each message is only send once to each subscribed client - which is useful for time series data, but not necessary for our use case.
- The client that is subscribed to our button is the flow below. You can see that it starts with a MQTT input node that is subscribed to
ipcam/alarm/pushalarm. Whenever you click the button in the dashboard the value
{ "val" : "alarm"}is published and pushed to that flow.
- The next node is a function node that extract the value of val - in our case it is always alarm. But if you have picked another CGI command before, you might want to add several buttons that publish different values and that trigger different commands.
- In the next node - titled Push - those different values are sorted out. In our case we just have to listen to alarm and send it to exit 1.
- Connected to this output is another function node that is triggered and adds the camera IP, login and the CGI command to the payload
- Which is then set from
- To be consumed by a HTTP node that sends out the CGI command and receives the camera response.
- We have to turn the response into valid JSON - either
{ "alarm": "triggered" }or
{ "alarm": "Error" }
- And read it into a JavaScript object
- To be consumed by another UI node. This UI element is a text field configured to display
{{msg.payload.alarm}}- which is either triggered or Error if something went wrong along the way.
Deploy your Flows
Click on the big Red Deploy button in the top right and open
http://localhost:1880/dashboard (the URL was set in an earlier step) and you will see the following interface:
Click on the Alarm Button and if everything went right, you should see a triggered next to Alarm Push. You can also check the System Log of your camera to verify that the Alarm was actually triggered (the alarm shows up as Audio Alarm):

How my search for a real loan lender was actualized: I am Engr Belen Drilon by name, A born citizen of New Zealand, But due to my business i reside and i live in Canada. I have been here with my family for the past 25 years now for business. Before i really move on with my success story. I will want to first of all let everyone know that i am not joking with my story.

Borderlands is an experimental audio performance by Monty Adkins (composition)
and Deborah Templeton (text) and features the cello playing of William
Mace. The work explores liminal states and the borders of consciousness. The
text is performed by Templeton, and was recorded and mixed by Adkins at various
points throughout the sound component of the work with the cello1
Borderlands was originally created for Totum One, an interactive installation
designed by the British company, IOU2
, and premiered at the Junction in Goole
(UK) in September 2014. A large white inflatable space, created by the artist,
Lisa Gort, housed examples of IOU's current experimentation in 360° sound
and virtual world technology. Borderlands was the heart of the installation: the
audience was invited to recline on white deck chairs and listen to the audio
