Today, through KapanLagi.com ®, we, Titi DJ and Ovy, delivered a farewell news. Of course this is very shocking for all the family, fans, friends, partners and media friends.
May 23, 2007 and we were married, with the aim to bring together two of our family, our marriage not only brings together two lovebirds like most, but we're trying to unite two families: Ovy with two children and Titi with 4 children.
ONCE WE LIVE A BEAUTIFUL LIFE. Yes, we feel happy times. We enjoyed our times together, and always try our best to our family. We had everything and was always determined to try, but was staying with eight in one house is not easy. Four years we lived and we finally have heartened to admit that we do not have the strength anymore to fight together.
We, Titi and Ovy, through a long discussion, conclusion and believe, that the brotherly relationship we will be better for each of us know, if realized in the form of bonds of kinship and friendship, NOT AGAIN in the form of a marriage bond. We believe in a friendship of mutual respect there would be a more sincere and ideally between our air-8.
We hope we can all accept what it is now. Not easy. Weight. Very difficult. But we believe, all the prayers from family, fans, friends, partners and media friends, will guide us to a better future. Amen. (MPA / sc / rhythm)

Government stimulus packages and extended unemployment benefits are Band-aids for what, William Holstein, author of the new bookIt's clear that many of the jobs lost over the last several decades, and during the Great Recession of 2008, are extinct. It's said that the definition of insanity is repeatedly doing the same thing, yet hoping for different results.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported an unemployment rate of 9.2 percent in June 2011. That number remains frustratingly Orlando's technology cluster is based on computer simulation and modeling; and is rooted in part by U.S. military and major defense contractors' decision in the 1950s to locate operations in the Orlando area. Disney's influence in computer gaming and entertainment is also influential. Every cluster needs an idea factory and Orlando has approximately 140 research and development companies located near universities. "Cross-pollination" of ideas is easily promoted. Simulation and modeling are being used in multiple industries. Healthcare is included, as it uses virtual reality to help rehabilitate stroke victims. consistent each month as millions of Americans struggle to find work. Government stimulus packages and extended unemployment benefits are Band-aids for what, William Holstein, author of the new book, "The Next American Economy-A Blueprint for a Real Recovery," identifies as structural challenges in America's economy. Holstein has traveled the United States writing about globalization and economics for major business publications.

Following is a cross-sectional synopsis of America and how it's revitalizing itself with technology clusters and ecosystems. Discussed too, are lessons for all Americans Holstein addresses regarding the country's current economic challenges.

How will our country reinvent its workforce for the 21st century, and in what industries? Holstein believes our economic rebirth lies in technology clusters and ecosystems.
Technology Clusters
Clusters promote knowledge-sharing and product innovation. They also champion technical and business processes by providing thick networks of formal and informal relationships across organizations. Clusters tend to happen by accident and are difficult to create.

entrepreneurs and venture capital funding, which is continually pursued to spark further technological advancements.Pittsburgh is reinventing itself from a city of steel (the mills are non-existent today), to one of advanced robotics dominance. Making advanced robotics systems is complex and challenging. They surpass performing repetitive tasks in an auto factory, which is simple, closed loop automation. The nascent industry lacks a Google or Apple presence in the city. But, area universities, engineers and government are among its collaborating cluster, committed to seeing the industry thrive and create new jobs.
Ecosystems
Technology ecosystems are idea factories that embody different scientific and academic disciplines located in close proximity. They include a presence of large, established companies that often invest in start-ups, license their technology, and/or sit on their board of directors. CEOs mentor less experienced leaders of small companies. Government agencies are partners but companies don't depend on them solely. Angel investors and private sector investors are key players too. There are no guarantees in any ecosystem.

North Carolina has shed its furniture, textiles and tobacco industries. Today it's a state whose small and medium-sized companies are committed to exporting, which is key to creating economic growth, wealth, and jobs. Companies that export typically pay higher wages and stay in business longer. Holstein says exporting is a huge untapped economic potential. America's export promotion and finance system is fragmented and ineffectual. North Carolina triumphs, as agencies from the local, state and federal levels are collaborating to promote exporting. They provide information to small business CEOs about trade shows in foreign capitals. They also play matchmaker with potential distributors and customers, and help companies translate their sales materials into local languages, among other things.

Atlanta, like many U.S towns dependant on manufacturing for economic viability, in the past decades, relied heavily on offshoring and outsourcing to cut costs. Today, the city exemplifies companies that are returning operations to U.S. soil, a trend known, as "backshoring." It's especially true of high-end technology, telecommunications and healthcare organizations. Jetting around the world to tweak production and design changes is both costly and time-consuming. Shipping expenses, complicated logistics, political unrest and the threat of intellectual property theft are also motivators. Atlanta's ecosystem of regional government, universities and supplier and logistics experts is among those committed to revitalizing the area's job market.

Cleveland is at the forefront of America's twelve hundred community colleges for workforce retraining. Cleveland's strength is retraining displaced workers in their forties and fifties, a demographic hit hard by global employment trends. Current and future workers need a higher set of knowledge-based skills to be competitive; and Cleveland delivers. The city's community colleges treat education less as a business, and more as schooling, enabling the unemployed to quickly transition into new viable careers. Cleveland's educational ecosystem includes local business leaders, and government officials. Community colleges can often be more flexible than four-year academia. Funding flows from federal, state and local government, and private foundations too.
Holstein concludes that America is the center of a global economy and the competitive pressure is permanent. He believes we're a culture of creativity, innovation and freedom. Our comparative advantage is our ability to

San Diego is home to over 600 life science companies and 700 wireless communication companies. In the 1970s, science and medicine seldom collaborated. Today, the blend of biotech know-how and massive computing power helps San Diego dominate in medical research and development, including Genomics. The opportunity is great for "creative collisions" among university students and faculty, business leaders and area government. San Diego boasts a high percentage of risk-taking
leapfrog over existing technologies by being disruptive. To maximize that advantage, future generations will need to master math and science-based skills. It's the only way to thrive in a knowledge-based economy. "This is a defining moment for America, similar to the Great Depression, when we had to summon forth a new vision of our future," he says. "I truly believe that weLessons for All Americans
 can recover the optimism many seem to have lost."

Palisades Hudson has offices in only three states - Florida, Georgia and New York - but the nature of our business allows us Amazon's ongoing fight with state legislatures over sales tax collection has become a familiar story. In state after state, the company and legislators have followed the same script. But now, in California, both sides are looking for a different ending. to serve clients across the country and around the th Dakota, West Virginia, and in some circumstances Ohio, do consider tax preparation services to be taxable.

The issue of physical presence, or nexus, is significant, since the Supreme Court has said companies can only be required to collect sales tax in states where they have employees or facilities. Technically, consumers are required to pay the sales tax that out-of-state companies don't collect directly, but in reality, almost no one does this.


The sales tax war began in New York when lawmakers asserted that online retailers could be considered to have a physical presence in the state if they paid commissions to in-state "affiliates." Amazon, whose popular affiliate program was clearly the target of the law, is suing.be used to establish a company's presence, even when those subsidiaries are not involved in any retail activity. While Amazon is itself based in Seattle and has no offices in California, its wholly-owned subsidiary A2Z

As the New York lawsuit has slowly worked its way through the court system, Illinois, Arkansas, Connecticut, North Carolina and Rhode Island have  the Golden State continued with Amazon seeking to take the issue to the streets through a voter referendum.
California's new law differs from previous iterations by claiming that subsidiaries, in addition to affiliates, can does have offices in the state. Those offices house the software all passed their own "Amazon laws." Rather than starting duplicate lawsuits in multiple states, Amazon has responded in each case by ending relations with affiliates. Both sides lose in this situation. States don't get the sales tax money they're after and they risk Amazon affiliates moving their businesses, and their tax dollars, to other states. Amazon, meanwhile, loses referrals. But, for some reason - most likely pure desperation - states continue to pass these laws.
At first it seemed California would repeat this pattern. Gov. Jerry Brown signed a sales tax collection law on June 29, and Amazon immediately announced that it was terminating relationships with its approximately 25,000 California affiliates. But instead of ending there, the battle in
gurus responsible for development work on Amazon's online music store and its top-selling product, the Kindle reader. Though Amazon has shown that it is willing to sever ties with affiliates, moving A2Z would prove harder.
In addition to the higher stakes posed by the subsidiary clause, California's relatively easy ballot access makes the situation different from those Amazon has faced so far. A second lawsuit would be costly and redundant, but the possibility of a referendum lets Amazon take its case to a new audience.
Most likely, Amazon's motivations are rooted more in self-interest than principle. Many voters who end up supporting the referendum will likely be guided by self-interest as well, looking to save a few dollars at the online checkout screen. But all of that self-interest may end up bolstering an important legal principle that is critical for small businesses.
For a large retailer like Amazon, the administrative costs associated with collecting sales tax are more or less negligible, making the main disadvantage higher costs for customers. For a smaller business, however, the burden of keeping track of the laws and tax rates of 50 states (with thousands of local variations in rates and taxable items) would be difficult or impossible to meet. Legislatures' growing disregard for the nexus principles that limit tax collection responsibilities to in-state businesses poses a real threat.

As for the ceiling itself, you need to use the ladder to reach hard-to-reach areas as well as the ceiling broom to remove cobwebs. You could also use a vacuum brush to lessen the risk of cobwebs or dirt falling unto any of the surfaces below.
Cleaning the ceiling is not an everyday activity or one that needs to be done every after shift though. However,
Next, dampen a clean cloth with water and detergent, squeeze it hard to remove any excess fluid, and scrub the ceiling.
Last, tidy up the area. This includes wiping off any drips that might have dripped down the ceiling or unto any of the surfaces below. This also includes wiping the floor off any water or detergent that dripped down from the ceiling.
Make sure that there are no drips dripping down the walls, unto any of the surfaces below, or on the floor. After this, wipe the ceiling off with a dry cloth.
When you are done cleaning the ceiling, be sure to reassemble the air ventilator and place it back on the ceiling.
 the ceiling should be cleaned regularly so as to avoid grime, dust, and cobweb accumulation.

What You Need
The materials that you will need to clean the ceiling and air ventilator include a ladder, a ceiling broom, a hand brush, cleaning detergent, clean cloth, and water for rinsing. You will also need goggles as well as gloves to protect not only your eyes but hands as well.
Air Ventilator
For the air ventilator, you will need to use the ladder, so make sure that it is very sturdy and very stable so as to prevent any accidents or mishaps from happening.
The first thing that you need to do is to remove the air ventilator from the ceiling. After all, it is so much easier to clean the air ventilator when it is taken down.
Wet the hand brush or the scouring pad with water and then pour in a small amount of detergent. Do not use too much detergent though as it could make rinsing difficult. Plus, you will be wasting water, detergent, and money if you do so.
With the wet hand brush or scouring pad, gently but thoroughly wash all the areas of the air ventilator, making sure to remove traces of grime and dust. Once done, rinse it off with clear water, making sure that there are no traces of detergent left on the air ventilator. After this, thoroughly wipe the air ventilator off with a clean cloth.
Ceiling
Before you clean the ceiling though, make sure that the kitchen equipments, appliances, units, items, etc. are protected with drop cloths. You should also protect the counters, ovens, grills, anything really that needs to be protected from the dust and grime of the ceilings as well as from the drips. Also, you should always clean the ceilings before you clean the walls and the floors so as to save money, effort, and time.
Furthermore, before you clean the ceiling, make sure that you are wearing goggles and gloves. The goggles will protect your eyes from any drips that might fall over your face, and the gloves will protect your hands from the detergent.

How does this keep the "team" functioning, and working towards a particular target or goal, without always having to be tough and pushy.
