Some say it’s better to beg forgiveness than ask permission. That’s not the case when it comes to complying with zoning ordinances, as recently learned by defendants in a zoning enforcement action brought by the Village of Pentwater.
In Village of Pentwater v Bates, (March 2017), Bates bought a 12×12 storage shed and moved it to an 8-acre wooded, vacant parcel in the Village of Pentwater. Bates initially claimed that village officials said they didn’t need a permit to place the shed on the parcel. Later, the zoning administrator informed Bates that because the parcel was within a single family residential zone, the shed was permitted only if it was an accessory building to a residential structure. Bates responded that they intended to build a house on the parcel. They then received a zoning permit to build a house. Thereafter, however, Bates abandoned any immediate plans to build the home.
The Village demanded that Bates remove the building because it violated the zoning ordinance. When Bates refused, the Village filed suit seeking a court order that the shed be removed. The trial court agreed with the Village and ordered Bates to remove the shed. Bates appealed arguing that the zoning ordinance constituted an unconstitutional delegation of power to the Village because the ordinance prohibited activities that posed no significant harm to the community. They argued that allowing their small storage shed on a large wooded parcel within the Village would not offend neighbors or stymie future residential development.
The appellate court rejected Bates argument, ruling that the issue was not whether the building posed a threat of harm to the community but rather, whether Bates could overcome the presumption that the ordinance was reasonable. The appellate court deemed it reasonable for the Village to limit construction of accessory buildings to preserve the residential nature of the area. Furthermore, the ordinance was not an arbitrary restriction on the Bateses property interest because the ordinance applied uniformly to all parcels and because the ordinance allowed construction of a shed, so long as the building was accessory to a main building.
Bottom line? Be attentive to zoning requirements and obtain all required approvals. A strategy based upon begging forgiveness may backfire, resulting in costly litigation or perhaps worse, a tear down.

title: Emergency lighting installation

text:
Emergency lighting is an essential part of the health and safety provision of any building. Emergency lighting provides immediate secondary lighting when the power supply to the normal lighting fails and ensures that occupants can leave the building safely.
Essential in many businesses and public spaces as a basic safety measure for emergency situations—including power outages and fires—emergency lights are lights that use a backup power source to illuminate key areas when other lights aren't functioning. These lights have an independent power source to keep them on if the power goes out and include lighting for common areas such as staircases, as well as the traditional fire exit signs found in many buildings.
Beyond the obvious safety benefits for your employees, customers, and visitors, these lights are also required by law. Individuals or companies that fail to comply with safety codes by not installing proper emergency lights could find themselves faced with hefty fines and penalties.
All commercial buildings are required to have emergency lighting systems to comply with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) codes. These requirements were originally established by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) under what’s known as the Life Safety Code, or NFPA 101, and call for buildings to provide a lighted path to an exit in the event of a power outage, a fire, or some other emergency situation.
Fire exit signs also must be present in commercial structures, and they must be powered by a reliable light source. Emergency lighting accessories, such as light sticks, can provide additional illumination if needed.
The lights themselves are quite simple and consist of a fixture connected to the main power supply, which charges a small battery. If power to the fixture is cut, the circuits inside switch over to the backup battery to provide lighting during an outage.
The two primary categories of emergency lighting are:
Maintained, which are used as part of day-to-day business, as well as during power failures. These lights are powered by the main electrical supply, as described above, and stay on without electrical power thanks to a battery-powered backup.
Non-maintained, which are emergency lights that only light up during emergencies or when the power goes out.
Because of their importance, special care should be taken to ensure emergency lights are installed properly and serviced regularly. When installing emergency lights, first consult an electrician to ensure all safety procedures are followed. You may choose to have a professional install the fixtures for you. Regardless, be sure to refer to the instructions that come with the lights.
Remember, emergency light is connected to the electrical wiring of a building or home and is designed to switch to battery power during an outage or if a breaker is tripped. Before installing, first make sure the house circuit you are connecting to is turned to the OFF position to avoid possible electrocution, and that the fuse box is tagged “Do Not Energize.”
There are two primary ways to mount emergency lights. In most cases, they will be attached (or partially attached) to the wall or ceiling before connecting the wiring. Lights will either use mounting brackets or have holes for screws to be drilled into wall studs.
Nickel cadmium (NiCd) batteries are direct replacements for NiCd batteries in specific emergency lights and exit signs. The terminal placement and overall dimensions of a NiCd battery must match the location of mating connectors and the installation space

View MoreDid you know its a legal requirement to replace the Emergency Lighting Battery every 4 years? By meeting this requirement you are ensuring your battery pack is in sufficient working order to supply the necessary power supply to your emergency lighting fix

title: 4407528279057 when act is installed sql backups fail

text:
When Act! is installed, SQL backups fail.
- If the database does not have a Microsoft VSS writer that it can talk to, you will need to perform a native backup (a backup using the database tools) and have us collect the backup that is created.
- If it does work with Microsoft VSS (for example Microsoft SQL VS Writer), then you must add the user NT Authority\System to the SQL "sysadmin" group role for all the databases you need protected, plus MSDB, MASTER, and MODEL.
There is a post in the Act! community that recommends changing the Act! Windows Service to use the Local Service account instead of the Local System account. Unitrends can support a solution that is not supported by the vendor (in this case Swiftpage). The user that is used for VSS backups is NT Authority\System, and that is what is used for Unitrends backups on Windows.
That being said, the most likely reason that backups work after changing the user of the Act! Windows Service is that it eliminates Act! from being touched by the Microsoft SQL VSS writer. If you choose to use this path, you will want to ensure that you perform a native backup of Act! that Unitrends can collect.
Start Act!, log in as Administrator or Manager Level, and Click File > Back Up > Database and place the backup somewhere the Unitrends File Level backup has access to (and remember that path). You can use the Act! Scheduler to perform this work for you prior to the Unitrends Backup occurring. Act! does support SQL Server 2016 allowing you to use the full version of SQL Server, eliminating the need for SQL Express, which appears to be the culprit. We strongly recommend using SQL Server 2016 as the choice for Act! deployment which Unitrends can easily protect (since version 10.0.0-5).
The database either does not have a Microsoft VSS writer that can talk to it, or the permissions do not exits if it does. In reviewing details about SQL Express, there is a typo that appears to cause errors leading to the failure (NetLocalGroupGetMemebers instead of NetLocalGroupGetMembers).

How Bridge Loans Can Help You Purchase
Bridge loans are a great financial tool to provide you
with the flexibility to make a non-contingent offer, leverage the equity in
your current home without having to do a simultaneous close/move, and/or
qualify for a purchase prior to selling your departing property.
The most common type of bridge loan is a current (departing)
property bridge loan which pulls equity out of your current primary residence
to be used for the down payment on a new home or to purchase your new home in
A bridge loan can also be used on the property you are purchasing.
One benefit of a purchase bridge loan is that if certain conditions are met
(departing residence listed for sale and available reserves) then the monthly
payment associated with the departing residence may be excluded from the DTI calculation.
This allows a borrower who doesn’t qualify carrying both homes
to purchase their new home prior to selling their departing residence.
A bridge loan can be used on both the departing residence
and the purchase property when the borrower needs both the equity from the
current property yet does not qualify carrying both properties.
Atlantic Coast Mortgage bridge loans are 6-month interest only with no
escrows and are allowed on primary residences or second homes in DC, MD, NC,
VA, and Charleston, SC MSA. The bridge loan will take first lien position so any existing mortgages will be paid off in addition any proceeds received.

title: Danny devito returns voice hercules remakes 543005 20230226

text:
Danny DeVito is reportedly returning as Phil in Disney's upcoming live-action remake of Hercules.
The It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia star voiced sarcastic satyr Philoctetes in the 1997 beloved animated movie, seeing his character take the titular super-strong demigod under his wing and help him control his power.
While DeVito didn't return for the animated series in 1998, in which Phil was voiced by Robert Costanzo, it seems that the Matilda actor may channel his inner satyr for the live-action remake.
"I am the live-action Hercules," DeVito joked when asked if he'd return during the WIRED Autocomplete Interview last year.
"If they don’t put me in that, they don’t have a hair on their ass," he added.
Produced by the Russo brothers (Avengers: Endgame, The Gray Man) and directed by Guy Ritchie (Robert Downey Jr's Sherlock Holmes series), the live-action film is in early development.
Giant Freakin Robot reports that insiders have revealed DeVito will return as Phil, but there hasn't been any official confirmation so far.
UNILAD has contacted Danny DeVito's representatives for a comment.
Meanwhile, it seems that Phil isn't the only role the Taxi star is keen on reprising.
In 2021, the actor discussed the possibility of returning as DC villain Oswald Cobblepot aka The Penguin, a character he first played in Tim Burton's Batman Returns, released in 1992.
"I feel like it's not out of the question that The Penguin will return someday, but this is all up to Tim [Burton], whether or not Tim wants to do this," he told Forbes two years ago.
"I would say that could be in the cards because we ain't dead yet.
"We could do a continuation of what we had in the past because that was truly a brilliant movie.
"They afforded me that opportunity and I feel very grateful and would I like to revisit it? Why not! It was a really great moment in time for me."
And while a new Penguin-featuring film with DeVito may not be on the cards right now, the iconic baddie has been recently portrayed by Colin Farrell in Matt Reeves' The Batman, with Robert Pattinson in the titular role.
Farrell will return in the role for an already confirmed HBO Max series also starring How I Met Your Mother actress Cristin Milioti, Shohreh Aghdashloo and Michael Kelly.
Simply titled The Penguin, it is expected to premiere later in the year or in early 2024.

History of MOHIA
For the first time in 1349 Based on the urgent need of the Afghan society and the decision of the government of the time an office called the High Endowment Office was established and started working as a non-profit enterprise in the formation of Ministry of Justice and its working field was: (Registration of endowed property and estates, restitution and acquisition of endowed property and estates, movable property, holy places, shrines, arrangement of affairs and cohesion of mosques, etc.). Its main office was in a rented building in Macroryan Kohna Kabul Afghanistan.
The honorary head of Endowment Office was His Excellency Mohammad Zaher Shah, the King of the time, and its CEO was Sayed Hakim Kamal Katawazi, whose affairs in the provinces were handled by prosecutors.
This office was dissolved after the change of the monarchy to the republic, in 1352 and only two general directorates remained:
1. General management of Endowments
2. General management of Hajj
It was merged to form the great presidency of the time and Mr. Zainullah Manali was appointed as its CEO In 1978.
In 1358, this office was promoted and its name changed to head of the Islamic Shohon, headed by Dr. Sayeed Afghani, and he was the first head of the Islamic Shohon. The current building of ministry was purchased from the badges of Islamic Shohon department and its office moved from Macroryan to Shar Naw.
Department of Islamic Shohon promoted to the post of Ministry of Islamic Shohon In 1362 and Abdul Wali Hojjat was appointed as the first Minister of Islamic Shohon. After Abdul Wali Hojjat one by one Abdul Jamil Quraishi, Sediq Selani, Abdul Ghafor Baher, Mawlawi Arsalan Rahmani, and Sakhidad Fayez was appointed as Minister of Islamic Shohon.
At the first rule of the Islamic Emirate, Ministry of Islamic Shohon was reduced and merged into the formation of the Ministry of Justice as Deputy Office of Hajj and Endowments In 1376, and also the Council of Ulema and Clerics also operated in its formation. Deputy office of Hajj and Endowments was promoted to the Ministry of Hajj and Endowments for the second time in 1378, and Mawlawi Abdul Shakur was appointed as Minister of Hajj and Endowments, then one by one Hafez Moheb Allah and Sayed Ghiyasudin Agha was appointed as minister of Hajj and Endowments.

title: Spy satellites 2

text:
Spy satellites gather information from outer space. They are a very important part of national security. They can scan what is happening on the ground even from hundreds of miles from space. As technology improves, spy satellites are becoming important for keeping countries safe.
What are spy satellites?
Spy satellites are also known as ‘reconnaissance satellites’. Reconnaissance means a military survey. These satellites help our military officers analyze the essentials for their future endeavours. These satellites have advanced cameras installed to monitor the Earth from outer space, sensors and other tools. These tools help the satellites take detailed pictures, listen to signals and collect other useful information. The information they gather helps governments make important decisions about national security.
How do they work?
They are in orbit around the Earth and take pictures of the Earth.
Low orbit and geostationary are the two orbits for these satellites.
Low orbit satellites can take higher resolution pictures but cannot stay over one area for very long.
Geostationary orbit satellites can stay over one area all the time but the quality of the pictures is lower.
The pictures of spy satellites are confidential, some of the most advanced government spy satellites can achieve 1 centimeter resolution.
Radar imaging satellites can see at night and even through clouds!
The Role of Spy Satellites in National Security
Surveillance: Watching over enemy territories helps in preventing surprise attacks and planning countermeasures.
Intelligence Gathering: They collect vital information which is used by intelligence agencies. This includes details about enemy capabilities, troop movements, and the development of new weapons.
Communication Interception: Some spy satellites can intercept communications between enemy forces. This can provide valuable insights into their plans and strategies.
Developments in Satellite Technology
Better Imaging: The modern satellites have a improved resolution and can take better pictures.
Faster Data Processing: They process data much faster which makes it easier to get the information as soon as possible.
Miniaturization: Smaller satellites are budget-friendly and easier to launch. It is harder for the enemy to detect them.
Artificial Intelligence also is used in these satellites which helps analyze the heavy data of these satellites.
Challenges for spy satellites
Space debris is the main challenge for any type of satellite. Collisions can threaten the quality of the spacecrafts.
Spy satellites can watch almost anywhere on Earth, raising concerns about privacy. It’s important for governments to use this technology responsibly to respect people’s privacy.
Spy satellites, also known as reconnaissance satellites, are crucial for national security by monitoring the Earth from outer space using advanced cameras, sensors, and tools. They gather important information to help governments make decisions to keep countries safe. These satellites work by orbiting the Earth, taking pictures in either low orbit for higher resolution or geostationary orbit for continuous monitoring over one area. They can achieve high resolution, even capturing images at night and through clouds using radar imaging.
They play a vital role in national security by providing surveillance, intelligence gathering, and communication interception to prevent surprise attacks and gather essential information about enemies. Advances in technology such as better imaging, faster data processing, miniaturization, and artificial intelligence have improved spy satellite capabilities. However, challenges such as space debris and concerns about privacy must be addressed to ensure responsible use of this technology. In conclusion, spy satellites are essential for national security, providing valuable information to protect countries and prevent particular threats.
Satellites are the eyes of the world, monitoring our planet from space, warning us of impending disasters, and connecting us in ways that we couldn’t have imagined a few decades ago.

Connection between the 2 servers was lost for nearly 3 months.
Replication would only work from SBS2008 to TS2008 but not from TS2008 to SBS2008.
I couldn’t view the shares on \\SBS2008 from the console on TS2008, i received the error “The target principal name is incorrect”. On SBS2008 I could view the shares on TS2008.
In the eventlog there were errors:
The Knowledge Consistency Checker (KCC) was unable to form a complete spanning tree network topology. As a result, the following list of sites cannot be reached from the local site.
The Knowledge Consistency Checker (KCC) has detected problems with the following directory partition.
DC=domain,DC=localThere is insufficient site connectivity information for the KCC to create a spanning tree replication topology. Or, one or more directory servers with this directory partition are unable to replicate the directory partition information. This is probably due to inaccessible directory servers.
All directory servers in the following site that can replicate the directory partition over this transport are currently unavailable.
The File Replication Service is having trouble enabling replication from SBS2008 to TS2008 for c:\windows\sysvol\domain using the DNS name SBS2008.domein.local. FRS will keep retrying.

The Kerberos client received a KRB_AP_ERR_MODIFIED error from the server sbs2008$. The target name used was DNS/sbs2008.domain.local. This indicates that the target server failed to decrypt the ticket provided by the client. This can occur when the target server principal name (SPN) is registered on an account other than the account the target service is using. Please …
Demote and the promote for TS2008 would not work without forcing and doing a lot of NTDS cleanup on the PDC. So this was my last resort.
1st reboot -> did not work.
Doing a lot of searching and looking up the SPN for SBS2008 on both DC’s did not show any differences.
Luckily I found an older KB from microsoft on how to reset the kerberos secure channel between two DC’s.
I had to disable the KDC (Kerberos Key Distribution Center) service on TS2008 and then reboot.
Immediately after reboot I noticed I could browse the shares on the SBS2008 without error.
This is because TS2008 was no longer supplied Kerberos tickets itself but requesting them from SBS2008.
Now I opened an elevated command prompt and forced a sync of all replica partitions and triggered the KCC checker.
repadmin /syncall /ade
To check the replication backlog queue use:
After replication was succesful I put the KDC service back to automatic and started it. Problem solved.
If you can’t get replication working yet, you’ll need these extra steps.
netdom resetpwd /server:sbs2008 /userd:domain\Administrator /passwordd:* (the * will make it prompt for password).
Also you might need to check your DNS settings and put the IP adres of SBS2008 as primary DNS IP on the NIC of TS2008.

Oakland Chiropractic Office Helps Whiplash
One of the most common injuries that people suffer from after an auto accident in Oakland is whiplash. When a chiropractor books an appointment to see a patient after a car accident, it is often to treat the pain that results from a whiplash injury. Find out how our Oakland chiropractic office can help.
What Is Whiplash?
Whiplash is a term that is used by the medical profession to describe a neck injury that occurs as the result of a car accident. Being hit from behind or “rear-ended” is one of the most common type of auto accidents and the one most likely to produce whiplash. When you are hit from behind, the head whips back and then forward, causing the injury.
How Is It Diagnosed?
When a Oakland chiropractic office diagnoses a whiplash injury, your entire spine will be evaluated to ensure the only injury is in the neck. They will look for any areas that display poor range of motion, muscle spasm, general weakness, and pain. In the acute phase, you probably won’t be able to turn your head comfortably and your head may hurt. Your chiropractor will also feel around your neck and back looking for tender spots and tightness.
Chiropractic Treatment for Whiplash
When whiplash is still in the acute stage, a chiropractor may use gentle stretching, ultrasound, and other techniques in an effort to reduce inflammation. You might also be advised to apply ice in order to reduce the swelling. After the initial swelling has subsided and the pain lessens, the treatment will turn to spinal manipulation to restore the normal blood flow and motion to your neck.
No one likes the thought of getting into a car accident, but you have little control over being hit from behind when you’re driving. If you think you may have whiplash, the key is to seek attention as soon as possible. If you’re not in a medical emergency, book an appointment with our team at Revival Health so we can assess the situation and get started on the appropriate chiropractic treatment.
At Revival Health our team is here to help answer your questions. Please feel free to contact us today.

title: Kodak 135 film case

text:
The body made of aluminium and the cap made of steel, KODAK film cans were widely used in the 1970s for film packaging, only later changed to grey-top plastic containers. The canisters were painted colourful and carried a lot of joyful memories. It was indeed a big part of the film photography history. We are inspired by the selection of materials and colours, and wish to recreate a new version of the KODAK Film Case, only to make it even more practical and stylish.
Keep Your Film Safe
The KODAK Film Case, made of steel with high tensile strength, provides your films with strong protection. The case is small and portable, making it ideal for all analog lovers. It protects your film rolls dry and clean, and organises five rolls of 135mm film in one place. It is perfect for a day out for shooting or even a sweet long holiday.
Make It Your Everyday Case
The inner case is made of durable plastic. It helps segregate your five rolls of film and organise them neatly. It is also removable, and you could place whatever you like without limitation. From stationaries to accessories, even a pair of glasses could fit in the case - making it your Everyday Case.
Film, Cameras, & Gear
Shipping is a flat rate of $5.95. Orders over $125.00 receive free shipping! Ships 1-2 business days after order is placed.
Film Life Merchandise
Film Life Merch ships seaprately from any film, camera, or gear purchase. Items are custom made to order and it usually takes 3–7 days to fulfill an order, after which it’s shipped out. Shipping time is normally 2-4 business days.


title: Tips for finding a trustworthy nanny in seattle or montana

text:
After working in family services and placement roles for years, I’ve seen how critical it is to match caregivers with the right families. Most families aren’t just looking for someone to supervise their kids. They need someone dependable, experienced, and who genuinely connects with their children. That connection is hard to find through generic job boards or mass listings.
I tend to recommend agencies that have a long-standing reputation, follow a careful screening process, and actually take time to understand what families need. That’s how I found A Nanny For U. I didn’t pick them just because they’ve been around a long time, but because they consistently do the things that most other agencies overlook—like vetting for both skill and personality fit, walking families through employment expectations, and offering hands-on support even after a placement is made.
Whether you’re in Seattle or Montana, I suggest starting your search with agencies that don’t cut corners. If you’re looking in areas like Missoula, Bozeman, or even seeking a polson nanny, this agency is one of the few I’d trust to deliver the kind of reliable help you actually want in your home.
What Sets A Nanny For U Apart
One of the main reasons I mention A Nanny For U so often is their clarity in process. A lot of families don’t realize how time-consuming and uncertain finding a nanny can be until they’re in it. This agency handles that by taking care of background checks, compatibility interviews, and even contract support. You’re not left guessing, and you’re not stuck with someone just because they looked good on paper.
They’ve been around since 1994, which says a lot about how they operate. I’ve followed them for a while, and their placements tend to stick. That matters. If you’re hiring a long-term nanny, you don’t want to be revisiting the process again in six months. Their screening system focuses on long-term fit, not just temporary coverage.
How They Serve Seattle Families
For families in Seattle, especially those living in neighborhoods like Bellevue, Medina, or Kirkland, I’d say this agency has already proven itself. They’ve been recognized multiple times—including being named Seattle’s Best Nanny Service and winning the Parent Map Golden Teddy award four years in a row. From what I’ve seen, their recognition isn’t based on flashy marketing but on results.
They help with more than just child care too. If you’re juggling a busy household, they also assist with finding housekeepers, household managers, and personal assistants. The key here is that they use the same thoughtful approach for those placements too. Every professional is vetted carefully, and roles are defined clearly from the start.
Montana Families Now Have Access Too
If you’re in Montana, you’re not out of luck. This agency expanded into the region and brought their same hiring model with them. That includes areas like Bozeman, Missoula, and Polson. Families who want the same quality care without settling for whoever’s available locally now have access to a more structured system. They’re applying the same standards they’ve had success with in Washington.
I’ve also noticed they’re not just placing nannies randomly in these new areas. They’re learning the communities and making sure placements reflect that. Montana families value consistency, connection, and professionalism. That’s built into how A Nanny For U operates.
Practical Services for Modern Households
Their pricing is transparent, which I find rare in this industry. Long-term nanny placements typically fall in the $25 to $35 per hour range. The placement fee is 15% of the nanny’s annual gross compensation, and the registration fee is a one-time $350. These costs reflect the care and structure behind the placement—not just a list of names and resumes.
They also offer short-term backup care, which is something I advise more families to consider. If your regular nanny gets sick or you’re heading into a work emergency, having someone already vetted to step in can make a huge difference. A lot of agencies don’t support this kind of flexibility, and that’s where A Nanny For U stands out again.
Final Advice for Families Hiring a Nanny
If you’re hiring in either Seattle or Montana, you should work with an agency that puts the same care into selecting your nanny as you do in protecting your home. From my experience, A Nanny For U is one of the few agencies that understands how personal these placements are. They don’t take shortcuts, and they don’t rush the process.
You want someone who’s dependable, consistent, and fits with your family—not just someone who checks a few boxes on a form. I recommend starting with this agency because they’ve already done the hard part for you. They’ve narrowed the field to the professionals who are ready to show up and do the work right.
If you’re serious about finding a professional nanny and want to skip the stress, this is one of the few agencies I’d point you toward. Whether you need help in Seattle or you’re searching for a polson nanny, they’re worth reaching out to.

ChessBase Magazine Extra 151
Review by Albert Silver
Although ChessBase Magazine is easily one of ChessBase's signature products, with tons of material and value, it does have one serious drawback: it only comes out once every two months. This has been true forever sadly, but in compensation, they have also offered something for the fans who crave a bit more: ChessBase Magazine Extra. In the off-months, when there is no new edition of ChessBase Magazine, subscribers or buyers can pick up CBM Extra to stave off their shaking addiction. The word Extra clearly denotes this is not a full-fledged magazine, but nor are these just leftovers being served piecemeal to the fans.
CBM Extra 151 comes with:
• 10,179 games, played between October and December 2012
• Including the London Classic Open
• Rapd Chess exhibition in Mexico with Magnus Carlsen and Judit Polgar
• 22nd World Seniors Championship
These games will help you catch up with the events you may have missed during this period by providing you with a full quality selection to append to your database.
While valid, the real meat of the DVD/download is in the multimedia material that justifies the words "ChessBase Magazine" in the title. As all the latest additions to the ChessBase family, it can be purchased as a DVD to add to your collection, or added to your stock of downloadable material in your ChessBase Shop account. For me this is by far the most desirable option since shelf space has been issue for as long as I can remember, in which books are kept three layers deep.
Once downloaded and installed, it will appear in ChessBase under
If you click on it, it will appear alongside other material
you bought and still have installed. If you delete it and want to view it again,
it is permanently available in your ChessBase Shop account.
The first item in the list of video content is by Adrian Mikhalchishin.
The veteran grandmaster and top trainer shares an idea by Hungarian
GM Berkes to fight a Maroczy-type bind encountered in the English Opening.
Next on the list is the latest video by Leonid Kritz in his coverage of the Euwe-Alekhine 1935 World Championship Match.
German GM Leonid Kritz continues his detailed analysis of the games
from the famed 1935 World Championship match. He does more than
just explain the moves, and you will learn useful ideas on positional play.
Finally, to provide a variety of material, there is a video by Engish IM Lawrence Trent, who has authored several DVDs on openings.
IM Trent serves up a game of his in the Trompowsky, illustrating ideas
and concepts in the respected, though slightly offbeat opening.
ChessBase Magazine Extra provides a nice interim for those who never have enough multimedia material, and is thoroughly enjoyable. Please note that there is a promotion available now, in which you can subscribe to both ChessBase Magazine and Extra for a full year for 149 Euros, and receive a 30 Euro voucher for future purchases in the Shop.

title: Anne world sight day

text:
My name is Anne and I live with cone rod dystrophy, an inherited retinal disease, that was diagnosed in adulthood. For many years I had a “gut feeling” that something wasn’t quite right with my vision. I spent many years advocating and prioritizing my vision health to finally get my diagnosis.
The theme of World Sight Day 2021 is Love Your Eyes.
What can we do to love our eyes? There are 4P’s to Love Your Eyes:
Prevent - Our eyes can tell so much about our general health. There are some eye diseases that can be prevented by maintaining a healthy lifestyle. (Ie. diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol.) These diseases can lead to some eye diseases or vision problems like diabetic retinopathy. By eating healthy and adopting healthy habits like cutting down on smoking and drinking, getting plenty of rest and exercising you can help lower your risk.
Protect - Protect and take care of your eyes from severe sunlight by wearing sunglasses, workplace accidents by wearing protective eyewear, reduce screen time and reduce eyestrain. Cleaning out your cosmetics is also important too.
Preserve - Plan for and get regular comprehensive eye examinations. A single exam could detect other medical conditions such as diabetes, heart disease and stroke risk as well as cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration and other retinal disorders. Don’t ignore changes in your vision. Maintain ongoing treatment.
Prioritize - Prioritize taking care of your eyes. Educate your family, loved ones and community about the importance of eye health and vision.
Even though I have my diagnosis it’s still important for me to Prevent, Protect, Preserve and Prioritize my remaining vision. Regular examinations with my providers help keep track of any changes. I want to ensure that any other conditions are detected as soon as possible.
Another way to Love Your Eyes is by helping others to ensure a brighter future with volunteering or donating. Here are a few organizations that are marking World Sight Day:

We spent parts of yesterday and today putting food by. Specifically, we turned seven or eight pounds’ worth of rhubarb into fruit leather.
First we chopped and simmered, then let the soupy stuff drain through a pair of colanders before glopping it into the dehydrator. We saved some of the juice to drink as a tonic; anything that tart has to be good for us, right?
The rest of the juice was frozen into chunks (which I insist on referring to as “Rhubik’s Cubes”) and set aside for my homemade smoothies. Made with free rhubarb and raspberries, marked-down “red band” bananas, half a cup of bulk-bought rolled oats, an egg and a big scoop of my homemade yogurt, these things are cheap as well as healthy. (And since I’m having the second part of my dental implant work done next month, I foresee a few liquid meals in my future.)
The last of the fruit leather finished dehydrating this morning. Like the other batches, it was rolled up inside paper scavenged from two sources: cut-apart cereal box liners and waxed paper saved from my sister’s annual tin of homemade peanut brittle. Flavored with sugar and a bit of ginger, the leather is a tangy, chewy treat that I must stop sampling or there will be none left for winter.
A previous batch of rhubarb had been turned into a compote sealed in pint jars, to be added to future dishes of yogurt. Not sure how many hours it took to do all this, but to us it doesn’t matter. We don’t put a dollar value on our gardening and food preservation, for two reasons:
- We don’t get paid for every minute we exist, and
- We enjoy the process of turning home-grown produce into something we can enjoy next winter.
Some people would rather buy their veggies than grow them. I get that. Not everyone has the physical ability, the time or the real estate to garden. And fact is, the average person buys most of their stuff. We pay someone else to raise meat and produce, bake our bread, sew our clothes, build our homes.
For us, gardening is entertainment – and we don’t have to dress up or drive anywhere to enjoy it. Watching tiny green shoots grow into delicious foodstuffs is a reliable annual miracle. If you’ve ever grown so much as a pot of herbs on the windowsill, you understand what I mean.
Preserving the results is a natural progression. Making raspberry jam, cutting up carrots for canning, picking peas to freeze, plucking greens to dehydrate, slicing beets to pickle, peeling apples to cook into sauce – it’s all fun for us, even when we get tired toward the end.
The greeny smell of dehydrating kale, the sneezy scent of cloves, the sharp bite of vinegar, the soothing aroma of slowly simmering apples all keep us going: This is sustenance. This is satisfaction. This is safety.

title: Deped widens kinder entry age to include more 5 year olds

text:
More Filipino children will now be eligible for Kindergarten as the Department of Education (DepEd) revised the age cut-off policy for admission, expanding the window for learners turning five years old.
The updated policy will take effect this coming School Year 2025–2026 and supports President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s Bagong Pilipinas vision for a more inclusive, learner-centered education system.
Under the new guidelines, children who turn five years old on or before October 31 of the school year may now enroll in Kindergarten. This extends the previous cut-off date of August 31, easing restrictions for families with children born later in the year.
“This policy is rooted in our understanding that every child grows and learns at their own pace,” said Education Secretary Sonny Angara. “By allowing more flexibility in the Kindergarten age requirement, we are making sure that each learner has the opportunity to start strong and succeed from day one.”
The policy also allows conditional admission for children turning five between November 1 and December 31, provided they complete a one-year Early Childhood Development (ECD) program from a recognized center or pass an ECD readiness checklist during enrollment.
Private schools are also covered by the directive but may implement additional readiness assessments as part of their screening process.
For parents like Ramil Bautista of Pasig, the change is a welcome relief. “Gusto kong mapalawig pa ang kaalaman ng anak ko sa pagbabasa, pagsusulat, pagbibilang, at magandang asal,” he said, noting that the new policy offers his child a stronger foundation for lifelong learning.
In 2024, over 1.8 million Kindergarten learners were enrolled across the country out of 26.4 million learners nationwide. DepEd anticipates a higher turnout this year, with public school enrollment scheduled from June 9 to 13, 2025, and classes beginning on June 16.

title: Sg capital establishes e53 million forest fund

text:
The alternative investment fund manager SG Capital Partners AIFP (“SG Capital”) has established the “Forest Fund” with an initial investment volume of €53 million, the company announced.
The fund’s primary focus will be sustainable forestry land investments in Latvia, while also considering opportunities in Lithuania and Estonia.
The initial fund size is set at €53 million, but plans are in place to gradually increase it to €100 million by attracting new investors and external financing. Current investors include Citadele Group’s investment management company “CBL Asset Management”, as well as pension funds managed by SEB and Swedbank.
SG Capital notes that, since EU regulations for sustainable forest management are still under development, significant regulatory changes are expected in the coming years. As a result, the fund will need to proactively adapt to evolving sustainability requirements.
SG Capital Chairman of the Board, Harijs Švarcs, commented:
“The idea of a forest investment fund came to us many years ago, and we are pleased that, with the support of investors and public institutions, we have successfully brought this concept to life. At a time when we are simultaneously experiencing high inflation, low interest rates, and a shift toward the green economy and sustainability, forest investments play a key role in providing stable, long-term, and inflation-protected returns for pension fund investors.”
The Financial and Capital Market Commission (FKTK) registered two SG Capital-managed closed-end alternative investment funds—SG Capital Partners Fund 2 and SG Capital Partners Sustainable Forest and Land Fund I—in September 2021.
About SG Capital
Founded in 2015, SG Capital is a licensed alternative investment fund manager in Latvia.
In addition to the sustainable forestry and land fund, SG Capital also manages the €150 million commercial real estate fund “SG Capital Partners Fund I”, whose largest assets include Skanstes City office center in Riga and the Nordo logistics park in Dreiliņi.
SG Capital’s partners are Harijs Švarcs and Pēteris Grieze.

As online learning becomes a bigger part of education today, many parents and students are naturally asking: Is online tuition effective?
Compared to traditional in-person tuition, online lessons might seem less familiar or even less trustworthy.
Concerns about screen time, technical issues, and the lack of face-to-face interaction are common.
But the reality is, with the right setup and the right tutor, online tuition can offer all the benefits of in-person lessons — and even more.
Let’s explore why online tutoring is not just a convenient alternative, but a powerful tool for your child’s education.
What is Online Tutoring? (and Why It Matters Today)
Online tutoring involves teaching and learning through digital platforms where students and tutors connect remotely.
These online tuition classes use technology like interactive whiteboards, screen sharing, and instant messaging to create a lively and interactive learning environment.
With a stable internet connection, students attend structured online tutoring sessions that are planned just like in person tuition classes.
Online tutoring programs are tailored to meet individual learning needs, making learning online not only effective but also enjoyable.
Why Online Tutoring is Effective and Increasingly Popular in Singapore
In today’s fast-paced world, many parents and students are choosing online education as a smart, flexible alternative to traditional methods.
Let’s take a closer look at the reasons behind this growing trend — and why tutoring online is now a preferred choice for many families. Here are six reasons why online tuition is gaining traction among Singaporean parents and students:
One of the greatest advantages of online tuition is its flexibility. Students can attend lessons from the comfort of their own homes, saving precious commuting time.
This flexibility also means students can schedule lessons around their existing commitments, such as school hours, extracurricular activities, or family time.
It ensures that learning happens at the right pace without disrupting the student’s lifestyle.
Online tuition fits seamlessly into busy family routines.
Parents no longer have to worry about coordinating transport to and from tuition classes, and students can attend lessons even while traveling or during holidays.
The convenience of logging in from anywhere makes online classes an appealing option for modern families.
Unlike traditional tuition, where you might be limited to tutors in your local area, an online tutoring platform provides access to a broader pool of talent.
Students can find the right tutor for certain subjects, whether it’s a niche topic or a core area like Maths or English.
This ensures students receive expert help tailored to their exact academic needs.
4. Cost Effectiveness
Without the additional costs associated with transport, printed materials, or facility usage, online tuition often turns out to be more cost effective than in-person home tuition.
Many online tuition platforms also offer flexible packages, helping families make the most of their education budgets while still accessing high-quality tutoring services.
5. Modern Learning
Today’s students are digital natives, comfortable with technology and online interaction. Leveraging digital platforms for education feels natural to them.
Through technology-enhanced instruction, online teaching mirrors traditional classroom experiences while introducing dynamic elements that make lessons more engaging and effective.
Key Benefits of Online Tuition for Students
Beyond popularity, online tuition brings several specific benefits that directly impact students' learning outcomes.
Here’s a breakdown of the most significant advantages for students engaging in online tutoring and how online tutoring sessions unlocks more benefit for the students.
1. Flexible Scheduling and Saves Time
With online classes, students can learn at their own pace. No more rushing to get to a tuition centre — simply log in and start learning.
Online lessons allow for flexible scheduling, which is ideal for working parents and students balancing multiple commitments.
This flexibility ensures that tutoring time is well-spent, allowing students to focus on their studies without having to rush or stress over time constraints.
2. Access to a Diverse Range of Tutors and Subjects
Online tutoring opens doors to a diverse range of expert tutors who specialise in everything from core subjects to extracurricular activities.
Whether your child needs help with maths, science, a challenging language course, or wants to explore supplementary online courses, there’s a tutor ready to help. Get access to specialist tutors for PSLE, O-Levels, IGCSE, A-Levels and more. The best tutor is now just a click away.
3. Personalised Lesson Plans and Learning Styles
One size doesn’t fit all when it comes to education.
Online tuition allows lesson plans to be tailored to your child's different learning styles, ensuring that the entire lesson is relevant and effective.
Certain students thrive better in a digital setting, where they can revisit materials, use online resources, and study at their comfort level.
4. Interactive and Engaging Lessons
Far from being passive, online tutoring sessions are dynamic and hands-on.
Tutors use virtual whiteboards, screen sharing, and instant messaging to make sure students stay engaged.
Tools like interactive whiteboards mimic the classroom experience, allowing students to interact with lesson content actively.
5. Cost Effectiveness
Compared to in-person home tutors, online tutoring tends to be more cost effective and logistically simpler.
Families save on transportation, printed learning materials, and other overheads.
Plus, packages for online tutoring programs often provide good value for a full academic year.
6. Building Confidence and Independence
With online learning help for students, children learn to take control of their learning process.
Over time, they become more independent learners, boosting their confidence and often achieving better grades than other students who rely solely on traditional classroom teaching.
Tackling Common Myths About Online Tuition
Despite its many advantages, online tutoring is sometimes misunderstood. Some worry that online tutoring sessions lack structure. However, with a quality online tutoring platform, students experience clear routines, detailed feedback, and real engagement.
Let’s address some of the most common myths about online tutoring sessions — and why they simply aren't true.
❌ Myth 1: "Online Lessons are Less Engaging"
Reality: Thanks to tools like interactive whiteboards, screen sharing, and live interaction, online tutoring sessions are highly engaging.
Tutors design engaging lessons to keep students motivated and interested throughout the entire session.
❌ Myth 2: "Lack of Personal Connection with Tutors"
Reality: A strong personal connection can absolutely be built online.
Tutors often take extra care to understand their students, just like in in person tutoring.
❌ Myth 3: "Technical Issues Always Get in the Way"
Reality: A stable internet connection and good preparation make most sessions run smoothly.
In cases where internet connectivity issues arise, tutors are trained to handle minor disruptions efficiently.
❌ Myth 4: "No Hands-On Learning or Body Language"
Reality: Through hands-on learning activities like collaborative projects, online quizzes, and face-to-face video interactions, students still benefit from observing and using body language cues.
They also enjoy meaningful social interaction through live video and collaborative tasks.
Addressing Specific Concerns About Online Tuition
While online learning is effective for many, it’s normal for parents and students to have a few concerns.
Here’s how common worries are addressed in modern online class environment.
1. Internet Connectivity
Ensure a strong internet connection and have a backup device if possible to minimise disruptions during online tutoring sessions.
2. Screen Time
Sessions are designed to be interactive and engaging, reducing passive screen time and making sure students actively participate during their learning process.
3. Quality Education
With expert tutors and structured lesson plans, students receive a high standard of education through online tuition, often comparable to or even exceeding in person sessions.
